20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 1: over the possibility that some of their favorite talking heads

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: who are part of the anti Trump resistance may have

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: their clearances revoked. Why should this be a national crisis?

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: I'll address that also. We know that the deep state

24
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: will continue on no matter what. But what should we

25
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: take from the investigation as it goes on and the

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: reality and the possibility that there could be a whole

27
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: lot more Folks, We've got a fantastic show coming up.

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.

30
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again, the

31
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show begins giving Remember the White House wanted

32
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: to target for this punishment of stripping security clearances, and

33
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: this very much looks like an enemy's list people that

34
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: the presidents of the administration feel have been criticizing him unfairly.

35
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: This is really disturbing. What we're seeing is not surprising

36
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: because it's the next troubling step on this downward spiral

37
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: toward weaponizing and politicizing intelligence for political purposes. It's a

38
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: very dangerous day for American democracy. This is the move

39
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: of an autocrat, not an American president. Stripping them of

40
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: their security clearance. That is not what you've seen in

41
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: a democracy. That is exactly what you see in authoritarian

42
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: regimes and an autocratic kind of move. It's the kind

43
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: of thing you'd seen of an Anna republic. I mean,

44
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: I find it horrifying. Obviously, welcome to the Buck Sexton Show.

45
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: No surprises, they're my friends. You have people who are

46
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: completely and utterly devoted to this idea that President Trump

47
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: is an authoritarian, is a fascist. Even they've decided that

48
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: the President of the United States is not able to

49
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: exercise Article to power without them saying that there's something

50
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: terrible going on. I have yet to read a legal

51
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: analysis out there where they say the president does not

52
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: have the right to take away somebody's security clearance. He is,

53
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: in fact the superuser, the end user in a sense,

54
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to classification, the president is dare I say,

55
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: the alpha and the omega. He's the beginning. In the end,

56
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: he gets the final. Say. The courts have deferred for

57
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: a long time to the executive branch on issues of clearances.

58
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: So this is not a civil rights issue, This is

59
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: not a criminal procedure issue. This is just does the

60
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: government want to give you a clearance or not. Does

61
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: the executive branch, which has control over secrecy and all

62
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: related classification protocols, do they want to give you a

63
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: clearance or not? And I know people are saying, oh, well,

64
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: it's that's a bad precedent. I understand that there is

65
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: a precedent here that other presidents could use for nefarious purposes.

66
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: But let's put this into context, shall we. How concerned

67
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: should we really be that former intel chiefs wouldn't have

68
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: their clearances anymore. Also, let's keep this, let's keep it real.

69
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: The next president, if it were a Democrat or even

70
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: a Republican that felt differently, could reinstate those clearances or

71
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: could reinstate the And this is where you get into

72
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: and I don't want to bore you with too much

73
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: of this, but there's a whole there's eligibility versus access. Right.

74
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Access is hey, here here's classified information. You are allowed

75
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: to see it. Here it is you are a government

76
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: employee that has a need to know here's your classified information. Right.

77
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Eligibility is more you know you could get it. You

78
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: know you are cleared to work in a place where

79
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: you can do that. You know you could show up

80
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: a government building if they had a need for you

81
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: and have access to classified information. Now that that comes

82
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: into play more for people that leave government service, someone

83
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: like me. For example, if I left the CIA and

84
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: I immediately want to go to another agency, you know

85
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: what happens with my clearance. But what Trump is talking

86
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: about and what has now gone the media, you heard

87
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: all that, Oh he's an autocrat, He's terrible, he's the worst,

88
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: all these all these bad things. What Trump is talking

89
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: about are these former senior I mean as seniors a guest, right,

90
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: the DNI, former DNI Clapper, former CIA director Brennan, former

91
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: actor Attorney General Yates. I think Susan Rice was on

92
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: there too. You know, He's got a whole list of

93
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: people that just because of some courtesy or some notion

94
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: that they are special, they keep not just the eligibility

95
00:05:54,640 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: of a clearance, but also continued access. They can be

96
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: called and they call them courtesy briefing. So if you

97
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: were the pharmacy I directed, they will bring you in

98
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: for meetings and you can see everything and anything that

99
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: you well that they deemed to show you, right, that

100
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: they deem worthy to show you, are necessary to show you.

101
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: Why is that the case people say, oh Buck, all

102
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: the institutional knowledge. We need. The institutional knowledge. This is

103
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: what I have a fun advantage today, folks. I do

104
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: not know of another radio host anywhere in the country

105
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: who was once a holder of a top seaker clearance.

106
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: There probably are a couple, I just I can't think

107
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: of them, but I am not aware of one who

108
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: ever had a top sea clearance. I did, so I

109
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: have some sense of what goes on here, not just

110
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: from reading about it, but from having to deal with it,

111
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: from knowing it. So that is an advantage that will

112
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: hopefully give me a little special something during today's discussion

113
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: of this, because they've made this the biggest this is

114
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: now the centerpiece of hashtag resistance this week. Last week

115
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: it was Trump has destroyed NATO and Helsinki and he's

116
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: Putin's puppet and all this stuff. Nonsense, But that's what

117
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: they were saying. This week, it's he's a tyrant and

118
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: he's creating a police state because he's taking the security.

119
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: He hasn't even done it, he just brought up the

120
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: possibility of doing it. I think he's got I don't

121
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: even think he's going to be Honestly, I think I'll

122
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: probably walk away from this because who really cares. Well,

123
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: hold that thought for a moment, Who really cares? When

124
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: you have the kind of relationship that former intelligence chiefs

125
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: have with news organizations today, given that those news organizations

126
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: are in full tilt doing everything in their power to

127
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: tear down and destroy this presidency, I think it's fair

128
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: to ask some questions. How sure are we that these

129
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: people that have no more actual need of a clearance

130
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: to do a job because they don't have jobs with

131
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: the government. How sure are we that they are not

132
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: abusing or exceeding they're mandated in some way? How certain

133
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: can we be? Senator round Paul, Clearly, it's not sold

134
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: that this is something we can skip over that we

135
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: can assume is not a profit at all. Play clip

136
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: three place. I think there's a great danger to having

137
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: people on television who are speaking off the cuff, who

138
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: are getting classified information. There's a great danger that they

139
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: could reveal something that they shouldn't reveal. And so yes,

140
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: I think this should apply really to most people who retired.

141
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna say this right now. I don't

142
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's really I think that's much

143
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: less the concern that one should have than that they're

144
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: intentionally giving information to the media to think this president.

145
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's one thing if you're a former Intel

146
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: officer and not forget intel officer, former Intel chief, and

147
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: you're going on TV, you know that you're gonna be

148
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: held to account ats some level for your words. Right

149
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: if you start talking about, you know, all of our

150
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: super secret plans to colonize Jupiter, you might get yourself

151
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: into some trol because you know that's not a good idea.

152
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: But if you pass information along and it is referenced

153
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: only as a national security source, you know, with the

154
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: close access or who was involved in the matter or whatever,

155
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: and you were the source for news that damages the administration,

156
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna get away with that. And I have

157
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: never seen in my lifetime what's going on right now

158
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: where you have the people that were just in charge

159
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: of the CIA, just in charge of the Director of

160
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: National Intelligence Office, who are not just speaking out or

161
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: writing the occasional editorial, they are in house talent essentially

162
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: for CNN, for NBC. This is the new normal. And

163
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you when I first did this, a meaning

164
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: that I made the switch in the media One it

165
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: was an accident, and two it was much less commonplace

166
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: at the time. There were some other people who were

167
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: former CIA. There were some of the people former INTEL

168
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: and I always knew that I had to draw right

169
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: red line between my former work and what I could

170
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: talk about on air, and that I would be held

171
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: to account. And I had no expectation that I could

172
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: ever leverage what I only knew because of my time

173
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: at the CIA for a news story or anything else. Look,

174
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: I was on air. Here's a perfect example. I was

175
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: on air the night of the Benghazi attack on TV

176
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: on cable TV that night without getting the details. There's

177
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that I could have said that

178
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: night that I did not because I was I had

179
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: in my obligations in the very front of my mind

180
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: the whole time, and that's still the way that I

181
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: approached this. But I will say that when you see

182
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: some of these other folks out there, and I mean

183
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: I've mentioned Brennan did this in particular, they go, well,

184
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, they'll ask him, do you think the president

185
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: that the Russians might have something the president? He'll say, well,

186
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: I know, I was the former CI director, and yes,

187
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: I do think it is certainly possible, imply or giving

188
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: the impression that maybe he does know something because of

189
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: his time at the agency that would obviously be highly

190
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: classified and he won't say what it is. But it

191
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: uses it as a kind of, you know, a secret,

192
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: a secret rhetorical weapon against Trump that is unprecedented. I've

193
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: never seen this before. I never thought I would see it,

194
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: and it's all over the place now. In fact, you're

195
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: really you know, you've got all these intel chiefs. You

196
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: get the sense that they're just biding their time before

197
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: they can write books, go to the Aspen Institute and

198
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: appear on CNN a lot that's there. That's now their

199
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: life's work. That's what they want to do with themselves.

200
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: There's an even more important later here though. On the

201
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: one on the one hand, I just find that unseemly,

202
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: and people say, oh, Buck, but you know whatever, Look,

203
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: and it's it's different when you're when you go in,

204
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: you work there for a few years, you come out

205
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: or whatever, ten years, fifteen years, whatever it may be,

206
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: you come out, and overtime also your your knowledge of

207
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: any classified fades, so the risks of you even having

208
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: any also over in your mind evaporate with a matter

209
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: of years almost nothing. That's why to go right away

210
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: from being CIA director out into the public sphere that's

211
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 1: really aggressive. To go right away from being FBI director

212
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: to being a hyperpartisan political actor is damaging. Is damaging.

213
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: Dare I say to our institutions and to our sense

214
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: that we can trust these organizations? And then there's the

215
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: specifics of this moment in time, this case that we

216
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: are dealing with here. Not only do we have these

217
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: individuals who still hold their clearances and have access if

218
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: they wanted or if they're called upon for their insights

219
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: or whatever, as if we really need, like James Comey

220
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: to wax philosophical for us. But these are not just

221
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: individuals who have become very partisan. They are out there

222
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: shaping public opinion on a scandal that a number of

223
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: them have their fingerprints all over from their time in government.

224
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: So you have Clapper and Brannan and Komey and others

225
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: who are appearing on TV leveraging the gravitas that they

226
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: have because their most recent title and also the perception

227
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: that they must know everything that's going on and everything

228
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: that's so, you know, when you have the most recent

229
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: CYI director accusing the sitting president of treason. That's really

230
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: damaging because the public's mind set on this issue is

231
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: going to be, well, he's a ci he must know

232
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: something we don't know. That's the whole game they're playing.

233
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: That's what they're up to, and Trump knows it and

234
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: he's sick of it. They were not only making this

235
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: case publicly, but they were involved in the construction of

236
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: this narrative from inside of government. They're coming at it

237
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: from both sides. They are all in on tearing down

238
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: this president. So people are really going to tell me

239
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: that the current commander in chief has no prerogative to

240
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: say I'm gonna put an end to this, or at

241
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: least I'm gonna send a message. I'm gonna send a

242
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: message by doing what I am constitutionally empowered to do.

243
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: Trump's not saying they can't spa This is what people say, Oh,

244
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: it's silence saying no, no no, no. He's not saying they

245
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: can't criticize him. He's just saying they don't get to

246
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: criticize him and maintain their access that they only have

247
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: because they were political appointees of the previous administration. In

248
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: some cases and in others, you say, well, Buck, their life,

249
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: their lifetime civil servants. Well, actually they were leftist the

250
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: whole time. We've just now seen them for who they

251
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: really are and all that stuff about you know, mission

252
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: first and honor and duty and somehow in the era

253
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: of Trump, none of that matters. It stopped Trump at

254
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: all costs to give us Hillary. Hello, are these people

255
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: really serious? You know, I have to deal with sanctatomy

256
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: and all the sanctimony from the rest of them, Clapper

257
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: and brennanal because Hillary would have been our great ethical choice,

258
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: the champion of this country and the national security stage

259
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: that we also desperately need. These people are unserious, but

260
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: they're also dangerous. And I'm glad that the President is

261
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: willing to ruffle some feathers and then some And I'm

262
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: glad that he is making an issue of this, because

263
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, it is disingenuous to say that the media

264
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: having but these guys are. Clapper is terrible on TV.

265
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gurgling with Gurgan is more articulate. Clapper

266
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: is terrible. Why is he on TV while he's the

267
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: director of National Intelligence? He saw everything his decade is

268
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: a government service. Someone When he says that the president

269
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: is basically destroying the country and a trader, he must

270
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: know something we don't know. That's why these guys are

271
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: also valuable to these networks. That's where they've gotten I'm

272
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: sure big contracts as contributors. And it's wrong. It's wrong.

273
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: Remember Bush, for all the bad stuff about the Bush

274
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: administration and the stuff that I would have changed, he didn't,

275
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't take cheap shots at the Obama

276
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: administration because he thought that there was just that was

277
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: just dishonorable. Forget about Obama taking cheap shot of the administrator.

278
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: You got the whole former government national security apparatus taking

279
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: cheap shots the Trump administration. It's appalling. It's appalling. Eight

280
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: four four nine two eight two five eight four four

281
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: nine hundred buck. We have a fantastic show, so much

282
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: more coming your way. Stay with me this next time

283
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: had explode, which, by the way, I hope Democrats do

284
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: run a democratic socialistation. We don't know, because I think

285
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: you'll lose spectacularly, and then I will look forward to

286
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: election night when I finally get to sell everybody I

287
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: told just so, if you end up running a radical

288
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: problem with socialism in the words of Margaret Thatcher. At

289
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: a certain point, you run out of spending other people's money.

290
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: Venezuela one of the richest countries in the world in

291
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: the seventies. Now the average Venezuela has lost twenty four

292
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: pounds because they're starving. To name one country that socialism

293
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: has ever worked. And also, every every democratic socialist was

294
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: going on TV saying that it's good needs to start

295
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: paying ninety percent in tax I think you should start

296
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: paying the amount of taxes that every socialist in this

297
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: country thinks you need to. Because if you think the

298
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: government is so good at spending money, look at the vehicle.

299
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: Is dangerous. I'm just dangerous. I like it, Megan, Megan

300
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: McCain over there, fired up, all of you dropping dropping

301
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: bombs on socialism. I like it. I gotta say, job Megan. Uh.

302
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: This is also a moment where we're having a lot

303
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: of talk about radicals on the left, because you know,

304
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: you've got Alexandria Occagio Cortez, the new darling of the

305
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: progressive wing of the Democrat Party, and my old Blaze

306
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: colleague Ali Beth's Stucky has made a video of and look,

307
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a satire. Right, she clearly cut

308
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: up an interview and pretends to interview her. It's just like,

309
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: it's what the Daily Show did four years and Ali

310
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: put this video up. It's a CRTV video on Facebook.

311
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: It's gotten over a million views, and you've got left

312
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: wing politicians and journalists freaking out about the satire video there.

313
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: They are either humorists or they're idiots. They're saying that

314
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: it should be taken down or that it's unfair. You know,

315
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: here you go, Shane Goldmocker, this faked interview of Ocazio

316
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: by CRTV as nearly woman interview didn't happen. It takes

317
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: clips from Margaret Hoover show and edits in faux questions,

318
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: not labeled as satire. Well, it's obviously satire, dude, it's not.

319
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: It's not. They're not in the same room. And then

320
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: and then Okazio Cortez weighs into Republicans are so scared

321
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: of me that they're faking videos and presenting them as

322
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: real on Facebook because they can't deal with reality anymore.

323
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: Here's one bona fide truth. Election day is November six.

324
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, miss Okasi acquatas, we can deal with reality.

325
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: People that are still clinging to the notion that socialism

326
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: is going to be a better pathway for this country

327
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: than the capitalism that has created unprecedented and almost unbelievable

328
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: wealth and prosperity. Those are the people that I think

329
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: have a reality problem. I want more of this, though.

330
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: I want more humorless left wing democrats coming forward to

331
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: advocate for why we should have socialism. By the way,

332
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: remember I've told you they'll they point to Norway, they

333
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: point to Sweden, they point to these countries. All right,

334
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: the middle class pays massive taxes in those countries. The

335
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: middle class is carrying the burden of the welfare state

336
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: that they have in those countries. And by the way,

337
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: they're not sustainable. He's holding the line for America. But

338
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: Sexton is back. All right. We got some calls coming

339
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: in on the lines, doctor Rick in Maryland with another

340
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: diagnosis of America. Doctor Rick. How you doing. Oh, it's

341
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: it's a pretty grim pog This is for the short term,

342
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: at least to a mainstream media. I'm doing good. Hey, um,

343
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you a question. You know. I

344
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: keep waiting for the tipping point on this thing where

345
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: the evidence mounts and mounts that there that defies of

346
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: warrant was completely unwarranted, and that this is just a

347
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: witch hunt. But it's not happening yet, and they're even

348
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: double tripling down. Um. And I was wondering your thoughts of,

349
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, when when is it going to flip, because

350
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: when it does, I think people are going to be

351
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: really upset at the mainstream media and how you know

352
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: they weren't getting the proper information. Now I would I

353
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: would say this, there there are uh, doctor Rick, there

354
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: are multiple answers to your question. It's kind of like

355
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: a choose your own adventure here, right, So let's assume

356
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: let's assume that the Democrats take the House, in which

357
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: I know terrible, but let's assume that that happens. Then

358
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: I think we never get any answers because they will

359
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: prevent any serious investigation the House from going on, and

360
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: we will switch into impeachment mode very quickly, and they'll

361
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: be all kinds of just grandstanding and nonsense, just lots

362
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: of nonsense, because they're not going to remove Trump from

363
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: office because they're not gonna take the Senate. They're not

364
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna have two thirds in the Senate. Even if they

365
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: did take the Senate, but there'll be a lot of

366
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: a lot of political grandstanding and just wasted time on

367
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: how you know Trump should be impeached? Why should it

368
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: be impeached? They're not even just because you know, not

369
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: because of Russia collusion. They can't prove that that's not why.

370
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: They'll have some other make believe reason why so. But

371
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: let's assume that that doesn't happen. At what point do

372
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: we have a real turning point with the media where

373
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: they no longer will be able to claim that there's

374
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: any possibility of this whole Russia collusion farce being on

375
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: the up and up. That's a good question. I think

376
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: they're going to be dead enders on this one because

377
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: they there's no way they can admit they were wrong

378
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: on this without permanently and forever damaging whatever credibility they

379
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: have left with people who aren't just complete progressive bots,

380
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, who don't just buy it at all, hook

381
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: line and sinker. So I think it's h M. I'm

382
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: trying to think of what it would take for them

383
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: to finally agree because the Muller probe is I've already

384
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: I've said this all along. When Mueller doesn't have any

385
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: Russia collusion charges, doctor Rick. You know what they're gonna say, Well,

386
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: he just didn't find them because of all of Trump's obstruction.

387
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: He just didn't find them because of all the you know,

388
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: payoffs from Putin to whomever. I mean, they'll make something up. Well,

389
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: my hope is in science is there's this theory that

390
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: science doesn't change in a nice, meet upward way. It's

391
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: by revolution Coon's theory of revolutions in science, and I'm

392
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: hoping the same thing here that that and maybe we're

393
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: seeing it in this hashtag walk away movement, which I

394
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: think is a reality. I think that the reasoned people

395
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: are looking at this insanity and just leaving. I think

396
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: that's why ratings like CNN is in the basement. So

397
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: maybe they maybe they'll become irrelevant and the populace will

398
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: move past the mouthpieces of my hope. Well, doctor Rick,

399
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: I'm hoping with you. Thank you so much for calling in.

400
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: Good to talk to you as as always. So let's

401
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: talk the Justice Department for a second. Jeff Sessions, who

402
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: is my favorite cabinet official because occasionally he just pops in.

403
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: He's just like I want to hang out in the

404
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: freedom hood and he shows up and I'm like, Jeff, buddy,

405
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: what's going on with my friends? Good to talk to you.

406
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: And he's like, he's like, Buck, your radio shows the

407
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: bitch radio show in the country. I'm like, I know

408
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: it is, Jeff or mister Attorney General, I know it is,

409
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: but thank you so much for for your kind words

410
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: in this imaginary conversation we're having. But Jeff actually showed

411
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: up today to speak to a Turning Point USA rally

412
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: or a conference or whatever whatever the specific designation is

413
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: here in DC, and there was a moment that, oh,

414
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: this got the attention to some of the liberal journals

415
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: out there. Play it lock all right, well, lock her up,

416
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: they say, lock her up talking about Hillary Clinton, And

417
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you were chanting along with them,

418
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: and that's cool, that's fine, But Jeff didn't really chant

419
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 1: with them, all right. The Attorney General just kind of

420
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: like kind of chuckled at you know, anyone listening to

421
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: that clip. If you watch it, it's even more clear

422
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: he's just kind of like, oh gosh, they're saying, you know,

423
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: he's a whole lock her up. I see what you

424
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: guys are saying. You know, it took him a second

425
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: and process what the chant was, and that's all he said.

426
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: But they reported this as Oh my gosh, he joined

427
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: laugh as he joined chance of lock her up. That's

428
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: what's being reported all over the place. Oh, the chief

429
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: law enforcement officer joined as he was laughing. Over Look,

430
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, it's a little funny. No

431
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: one's locking Hillary up. You'll notice that Jeff Sessions could

432
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: restart the whole probe into Hillary's emails. I mean, they

433
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: could go back to that if they really wanted to,

434
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: They could reopen it. Just because there was a decision

435
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: made previously not to press charges, that does not mean

436
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: another administration can't can't come along and say, you know what,

437
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: we're actually gonna Obama thought about doing that with so

438
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: called torture or enhanced interrogation with intelligence officers. Obama thought

439
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: about that. Remember, Bush was of course not going to

440
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: do it, but then Obama was putting it out there.

441
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: He decided not to. But the argument at the time

442
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: wasn't Obama can't. It's that he shouldn't. So I would

443
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: just note that Hillary Clinton is a no jeopardy of

444
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: even being an investigated again by the DJ for all

445
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: the things that happen for all the stuff that went

446
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: on there, and then I think about this one. You know,

447
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: we don't we don't often get as clear a picture

448
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: of how the left is deluded when it comes to

449
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: the way they report on things in this But this

450
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: was from CNN Politics just as I was on air.

451
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: Here they're writing a story on how the Justice Department

452
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: instructs US attorney's offices not to use the term undocumented

453
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: immigrants and instead refer to somebody illegally in the US

454
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: as an illegal alien. Okay, how is this controversial? How

455
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: many times do I have to explain this to the left?

456
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: Illegal alien is the actual term under federal law. And

457
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Justice Department here, which is supposed

458
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,479
Speaker 1: to care about federal law. It's not supposed to care

459
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: about what the latest social justice warriors have to say

460
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: about this, or what the no no, no, no, no no.

461
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be what is the law and how

462
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: do we enforce it? And you know, I gotta tell you,

463
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: I think there's a willful ignorance here from the media

464
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: on this one, because this is so easy, This isn't

465
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: even really a discussion to be had. What they want

466
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: the Justice Department to start referring to them as undocumented

467
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: immigrants just because they said, just because the media has

468
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: decided to do that. They really think that that's how

469
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: this works. Unfortunately, I think the answer is, yes, they

470
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: do believe it, that is how this works. But you know,

471
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: I think this is a much This is a much

472
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: more important story. This is a much bigger story about

473
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: what's going on, which is that there are a lot

474
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: of people out there who are journalists. Here in the

475
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: swamp of me. I'm in the swamp, and let me

476
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: tell you, it is swampy. It is. The closer you

477
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: are to all this stuff. New York feels very unswampy

478
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: by comparing Harrison, because you don't have all the you know,

479
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: the I walk down the street, I walk past the

480
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: Washington Post offices. I see journalists all the time. I

481
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: was on a train today. I saw a guy from Axios.

482
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: I see people from Politico. I walk down the street.

483
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: You know, everywhere you go, you get journalists everywhere. It's

484
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: like journalists and politicians run this city. And they do.

485
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: But the fact that they are reporting on this is

486
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: it's even a story. Here's a headline for you, folks.

487
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: Justice Department thinks the law is the words written on

488
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: the page that are the law. WHOA, that's crazy some

489
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: of these folks. I guess it is. It is crazy

490
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: to them. By the way, we're gonna talk about the

491
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: status of the global gehags. I think that's kind of

492
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: slipped from most people's consciousness of these days. We'll talk

493
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: about that coming up in just a little bit. We

494
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: also have Sean Davis joining from the Federalist. Hey will

495
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: be dropping truth bombs like it's going out of style,

496
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: so that'll be coming up here too. The Federalist dot

497
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: com is so much great stuff that they're writing these days.

498
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: And then the third Hour, if you stick around, which

499
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: you obviously should, we'll talk about all kinds of fun stuff,

500
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: including paying for college by a revenue share program of

501
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: your salary. Oh yeah, that. I'm more coming up to

502
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: perpetuate unfair trade practices. I think there are better tools

503
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: to use to get them to play fairly. So I

504
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: just don't think the tariff route is the smart way

505
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: to go. I understand the president's plan. I understand what

506
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: he's trying to do, and and the goal he's trying

507
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: to achieve is a good one. A better deal for Americans,

508
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: better trade agreements. I just don't think tariffs are the

509
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: way to go, and our members are making that pretty clear.

510
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: Chinese are convinced that they can cause enough pain to

511
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: the American farmer that the Trump administration will blink. The

512
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: Trump administration sent an important signal today was Secretary produced

513
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: announcements that we're not going to back down. And frankly,

514
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: if you look at the total behavior of the Chinese

515
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety one, it is an absurdity to allow

516
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: it to continue. But when you start to change it,

517
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: they're going to fight it. I don't look, they've had

518
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: a great deal. They have ripped us off every single year.

519
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: They've stolen our intellectual properties, they've rigged the game, and

520
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: of course they don't want it to change. But I

521
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: think President Trump is right and we had better figure

522
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: out how to engage in this kind of a fight

523
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: and win it. Making tremendous progress. They're all coming. They

524
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: don't want to have those tariffs put on them. They're

525
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: all coming to see us, and the farmers will be

526
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: the biggest beneficiary. Watch we're opening up markets. You watch

527
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. Just be a little patient, they're

528
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: all aiming at anybody that likes me, and they have

529
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: lobbyists like nobody's ever seen, fighting to win. That's what

530
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: Trump is doing here on tariffs. Folks. This is important.

531
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: It's important to all of us that you see how

532
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: this is playing out and you get the honest, the

533
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: honest scoop if you will, on what's really going on

534
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to this teriff fight. Okay, here's just

535
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: a quick update from Trump today. The Trump Administrations Court

536
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: of the New York Times here announced up to twelve

537
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: billion dollars an emergency relief for farmers hurt by the

538
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: president's trade war, moving to insulate food producers from looming

539
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: financial losses that could be a direct result of Trump's policies.

540
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 1: The aid to farmers, announced by the United States Department

541
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: of Agriculture will come through a direct assistance program, one

542
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: designed to help with food purchase and distribution, and one

543
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: specifically geared toward promoting trade. So you got the president saying,

544
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: all right, look, if you're gonna, if they're gonna allow

545
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: this to go forward, right, if these countries won't pull

546
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: down their trade bears China is can't we see what's

547
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: happened here. China is specifically targeting parts of the country

548
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: with its retaliatory measures on our retaliatory measures, because that's

549
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: what our tariffs are. Our tariffs are in retaliation. This

550
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: is not a fight that we really started, and that's

551
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: an improper framing of it. In the discussion, we are

552
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: saying to other countries, if you're going to have this tariff,

553
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: we're going to have that tariff. If you're going to

554
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: do this, we will respond. And then you know, it

555
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: goes back and forth. People say, well, Box, that's a

556
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: trade war. Well yeah, but right now, it's just a

557
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: one way trade war. Right now, it's just China does

558
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: whatever they want and we say, okay, China, that's fine,

559
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: No big problem there now. Trump tweeted out today that

560
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: tariffs are the greatest. Either a country which has treated

561
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: the United States unfairly untrade negotiates a fair deal, or

562
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: it gets hit with tariffs. It's as simple as that.

563
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: And everybody's talking. Remember we are the pig piggy bank

564
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: that's being robbed. All will be great. The presents ready

565
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: to fight this one. And he knows it's a risk, folks.

566
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: Any negotiation comes with the possibility of failure. Though it's

567
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: not a negotiation. Any negotiation could go badly. This is

568
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: negotiation is a performance in and of itself, and the

569
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: fact that the President isn't backing off this and it

570
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: is trying to take measures to make sure that our

571
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: farmers aren't just bearing the whole brunt of this because

572
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: the Chinese are doing and hoping that we're going to

573
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: fold quickly. They're hoping that the response from the administration

574
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: is going to be, Okay, we got the midterms coming up.

575
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: They're going after states where you know, there's some real

576
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: toss ups and some close races. So why don't we

577
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: just forget about this whole thing and let the Chinese

578
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: continue to do what they're doing. The response of that

579
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: is what you're getting from this team, from Trump and

580
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: his people, is no, that's not going to happen. And

581
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but you know, Larry could Low and Trump

582
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: and the people that are pushing this the hardest on

583
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: the world stage, they know that if this doesn't work out,

584
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: They know that if the economy tanks and we end

585
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: up getting the worst end of this whole situation and

586
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: dealing with these trees on trade, they're gonna be judged

587
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: for it, and there will be consequences at the ballot box.

588
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that there would be consequences. You know. I'm

589
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: not saying Trump is gonna win this. It could go wrong.

590
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: By'm like, what's with Paul Ryan? Well? Why is he

591
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: always out there? You know me? You know, you just

592
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: don't have this with Democrats. You never had Nancy Pelosi. Yeah,

593
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: I attackted you and the radio show. You never had

594
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi during Obama's first two years in office, going

595
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: out and just publicly and completely undercutting him on a

596
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: policy issue. You just didn't have it. I mean, maybe

597
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting something, but you just it wasn't there. Democrats

598
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: have discipline, maybe because they're obsessed with power and exercising

599
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: state power and so at least they can all agree

600
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: on that. But Democrats have discipline on these issues. In

601
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: the Republicans, we've always got to watch what's happening on

602
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: our own side. We've always got to watch our flank

603
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: for the next Republican turn code to go. Oh, I

604
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't know if I want to

605
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: go along with that one. Paul Rynas where he's not

606
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: he's not helping our team, that's for sure, doesn't It

607
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: doesn't make our lives any easier with this stuff. But

608
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, I suppose this is this is what we

609
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: should just expect. Now that you're going to have Republicans

610
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: who are running for cover. Don't want to be associated

611
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: with this. We want to stick the consensus. I just

612
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: come back to this. The consensus is apparently other countries

613
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: can have whatever tariffs they want on US products, and

614
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: we will not put those tariffs on their products come

615
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: into this country. And that's the way that it's going

616
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: to be. That's the consensus. And China can get away

617
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: with all of its manipulative practices and all of its

618
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: predatory mercantilist actions around the globe, and we're just gonna say,

619
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: you know what, let's not rock the boat. Well, Trump

620
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: is saying, let's rock the boat. And if that has

621
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: some effect on the EU in Canada and Mexico as well,

622
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: we'll deal with it. We'll deal with it. But you know,

623
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: the markets, folks, you know the money money talks, and

624
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: the markets are not really spooked by this. The markets

625
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: seem to understand what's going on here. Maybe they've priced

626
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: in the risk at some level. But they're not nearly

627
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: as concerned about this as much of the media wants

628
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: to pretend that they are. So, you know, we'll see

629
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: how this, we will see how this plays out. There's

630
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 1: just like with North Korea, just like with so many

631
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: different things that, so many different initiatives that the Trump

632
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: administration has under way. We are being told to judge

633
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: these things before we actually have the results of it.

634
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: We're being told to judge it before we know if

635
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: in fact it was a success. And that's just a

636
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: reflection of the fact that people in the media hate

637
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: this president. I mean, they just hate him. They just

638
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: hate him. That's why he doesn't get the credit really

639
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: from the me. You when North Korea starts dismantling an

640
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: ICBM facility, it's right, intercontinental ballistic missile that was reported today.

641
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: They don't really focus on that. Last week it was

642
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: North Korea is already a failure, The deal is already

643
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: a failure. This week it's okay, well maybe it's not

644
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: a failure, but let's not talk about it. Look, this

645
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: is why nobody trusts him. But you know, the good

646
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: thing is Trump's a fighter on this one. We'll talk

647
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: about how he fights against the mainstream media when we

648
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: come back. The FBI calls home title theft one of

649
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: the fastest growing crimes. Brace yourself because having your credit

650
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,000

Speaker 1: The CIA analysts. No, but it's all what you want.

670
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: And just remember what you're seeing and what you're reading

671
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: is not what's happening. And I'll tell you, I have

672
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: so many people that are so infavable because we have

673
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: to make our country truly great again. Remember make America

674
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: great again, and then in two and a half years

675
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: it's called keep America Great. So the way we keep

676
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: America great is to make at least reasonable I'm not

677
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: saying at least reasonable, at least fair drade deals, not

678
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: stupid Drede deals like we've put up with the twenty

679
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: five years. So we're changing it, or we're changing it rapidly.

680
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: The thing that feels new after Helsinki is that the

681
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: country's shook up and freaked out about it. There is

682
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: something about him doing that to Putin's face rather than

683
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: presumably just on his batphone with him or however it

684
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: is they up in constant phone communication, which is what

685
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: we hear from the Russian side. Did the president get

686
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: help from Russia to win his election, Yes he did.

687
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: Is our president subordinate to a foreign power? Does our

688
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: president answer to a foreign government and a foreign leader?

689
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: The worst case scenario that the president is a foreign

690
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: agent suddenly feels very powerful. You don't need a pay

691
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: me back, pay me back, pay me back transactional interaction

692

Speaker 1: in order to live as a compromised person in betray

693
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: your country in that way. Welcome back to the Buck

694
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. I wanted to really give you a compare

695
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,479
Speaker 1: and contrast there for a moment. You know, you have

696
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: the president the United States who is who is just

697
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: straight up warning people what you're seeing on the news

698
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: is not what's happening. Don't trust them. They don't have

699
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 1: your best interest at heart. They are pushing an agenda

700
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: and being dishonest about it. And then you have you know,

701
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: Matta who's saying that the President United States is a

702
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: foreign agent. Think about the disparity here. You have a

703
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: president whose entire campaign time in office is defined by

704
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: really a kind of superpatriotism, a president who, if nothing else,

705
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: anyone who's around him, for whatever flaws he may have.

706
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: He's not perfect. I don't pretend he's perfect. You know

707
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: he's not perfect, But he definitely loves this country. But

708
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: the left wing media that was madaw there, who's getting

709
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: millions of viewers of night folks? I mean, you know,

710
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: finally in MSNBC is catching catching up on some nights

711
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: to Fox after so many years of just getting completely

712
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: schooled in the ratings. But you have people that are

713
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 1: watching as she says that the president of United States

714
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: may in fact be an agent of a foreign power,

715
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: which is another way of saying a trader. They're calling

716
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: this president on cable news a trader, without evidence and

717
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: without any reason or sanity behind this, but they keep

718
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: doing it. You know, this is what our president sounds

719
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: like when he's talking about America. This is the president

720
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: that the left wing is calling this guy a turncoat,

721
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: guilty of treason, and a trader. Play ten, play ten,

722
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: and eleven. For more than a century, the VFW has

723
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: represented American heroes who promoted American values, and they did

724
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: so with honor. You are the universal symbol of the

725
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 1: patriotic pride that beats loudly in every single American heart.

726
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: We don't apologize for America anymore. We stand up for America.

727
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: We stand up for the patriots who defend America. Remember

728
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: Washington's advice that the best way to preserve the peace

729
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: is to be prepared for war, and that is exactly

730
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: what we do all the time. My thinking is always

731
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: on military and military strength. That is why I'm proud

732
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: to report that we are now undertaking the greatest rebuilding

733
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: of our United States military in its history. We have

734
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: secured seven hundred billion dollars for defense this year and

735
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixteen billion dollars next year. Approved. That's

736
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:24,479
Speaker 1: the guy they say can't be trusted. That's the person

737
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: who's unfit to be commander in chief. You know, you

738
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: saw in that room day speaking of the veterans of

739
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: foreign wars, and you saw the way that veterans look

740
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: at him, the way that our active duty military responds

741
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: to him. They know they're the ones putting their lives

742
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: in line for this country day in and day out.

743
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: They know what this president thinks when it comes to them,

744
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: no doubts. And yet the media calls him a traitor,

745
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: a puppet of Putin doing their bidding. This is so

746
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: far from reality that I really do worry, as I've

747
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 1: said to you so many times now, but that there's

748
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: been some kind of a break from reality that the

749
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: Democrat Party in the left in this country is having

750
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: something of a nervous breakdown. Collectively, They're having a collective

751
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: nervous breakdown because you can't make sense of this otherwise.

752
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: This is the president that they say is not a patriot.

753
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: This president's all about patriotism, you know. This is the

754
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: one that they say is doing Russia's bidding, how by

755
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: building up our military, by having more aggressive policies towards

756
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: Russia than any of his predecessors. That's the way that

757
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: he's doing Putin's work for him. You know, I do

758
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: you really do believe these are not serious people in

759
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: the sense that they should not be taken seriously. But

760
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: we have to take the threat of their lies and

761
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: of their undermining of the administration seriously because they're very

762
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: powerful still. They get away with this kind of stuff

763
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: all the time, you know. And you know that's why

764
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: having a president who will just say, you know what,

765
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: enough is enough, and I'm not going to stand for

766
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: this anymore. I keep saying. I remember what it was

767
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: like during the eight years of the Bush administration. It

768
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: was like watching your little brother get get weggies all

769
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: the time, and you weren't able to help him. You know,

770
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: it's just stunk. Bush was getting pummeled in the media

771
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: and just took it and just took it. Oh yeah,

772
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: well at least Bush was a gentleman. They'd say, Now, yeah,

773
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: Bush just got rolled. They went after him with everything

774
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 1: that they had. They tried to throw his vice president

775
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: in prison on some BS charge. Scooter Libby got the

776
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: brunt of that one, unfortunately, but you know the whole thing. Okay,

777
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: that's how they were playing the game. And Bush was like, well,

778
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't want to be a you know,

779
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 1: a bad guy. You know, we were in two wars,

780
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: a brawl, but Bush didn't realize that we were in

781
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: a political street fight here at home. Trump knows that

782
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 1: he knows what he's up against. Play sixteen. Just stick

783
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 1: with us. Don't believe the crap you see from these people.

784
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: To fake news. I mean, I saw a piece on

785
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: NBC today, NBC not just CNN. CNN is the worst,

786
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: but I saw a piece on NBC. It was hot throppy.

787
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: They were interviewing people. They probably go through twenty and

788
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: then they picked the one that sounds like the worst.

789
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: But they went through a group of people. In fact,

790
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, I gotta do something about this.

791
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: Trump terrible. You know, he's got a tremendous command of

792
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: the room, and he understands, he understands his people, he

793
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: understands his base, his voters, and the fact that he

794
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: will just say it. I mean, CNN, they are the

795
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: most smug, disingenuous bunge. I'm talking about the TV. Look,

796
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: there's good people at all these different organizations. Right, there's

797
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: nice people working off camera. There's nice people who are

798
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: correspondents you wouldn't remember I've never heard of before. Right,

799
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: this is a tough business. People take jobs where they can.

800
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the big wigs. I'm talking about the

801
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: people over there that are multi millionaires, that are somewhat

802
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: household names, and they're pushing along with the network execs

803
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: an agenda that's dishonest. Up until now, we've had all

804
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 1: Republican presidents say, well, the means you know, the media

805
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: is kind of bias, but you know, we're hoping we'll

806
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: work with them more. Up until now, you would see

807
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: that presidents would just take this on the chin and

808
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: then hope that their goodwill to the other side would

809
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: be reciprocated. It never is. It's so refreshing to have

810
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: a president who rolls up as sleeves and says, Okay,

811
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: you want to do this, you want to scrap, let's scrap.

812
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: You want to play dirty, Let's play dirty. And that's

813
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: what I think is one of the one of the

814
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: truly great things about this administration is that we don't

815
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 1: have to just sit around anymore and just take it,

816
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: just take it, just deal with it. And that's why

817
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: they're freaking out so much. That's why you get mattaw

818
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: going on our shows saying it was an agent of Russia.

819
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: An agent of Russia. In what universe if Trump had

820
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,439
Speaker 1: if the Russians had something on Trump that could really

821
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: bring him down, He's gonna run for president? Why he's

822
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: a billionaire. None of this makes sense, folks. You don't

823
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: even have to get into the fis and the nounz

824
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 1: and all will do that too, But you don't even

825
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: have to do that. It just doesn't make any sense.

826
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: The motives don't add up, the storyline doesn't hold together,

827
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: because ultimately, the real storyline here is and always has been,

828
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: that Hillary was supposed to win that election. Hillary was

829
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 1: supposed to be in power, giving liberals what they want,

830
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: reaffirming their worldview. CNN, MSNBC and the other broadcast networks,

831
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna have all kinds of access, and they'd have

832
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: this pinnacle moment in their careers where they'd be all

833
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: cozy with Hillary's White House for eight years, and that

834
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: was stripped for from them. They feel and whether they

835
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: have to pretend it's unfair or really believe it's unfair,

836
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: that's what they're gonna do. That the election was unfair.

837
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: That's what they're gonna say. It's pretty pathetic, but it's

838
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: also dangerous for this country. We're gonna talk about jihad

839
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: the moment. What's happening to the global jihad right now?

840
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 1: You don't hear about it very much anymore. We'll discuss

841
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 1: that with an expert. So stay right there. I'm sure

842
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 1: we have some hr specialists listening. People who are property owners,

843
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: those who are either hiring or think about leasing out

844
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: a property that they have to somebody. You know what,

845
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: you gotta do a background check, and you better trust

846
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: whoever's doing that check for you, and know that there's

847
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: anything that comes up, You're gonna get somebody on the phone.

848
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,720
Speaker 1: Who will handle the problem with care. That's what Global

00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: Verification does. Global Verification is the only dual certified, veteran

860
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: the global ghat everybody? I was talking about this yesterday.

861
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: During the Obama administration, you will recall there was a

862
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: period where we had a major attack. It felt like

863
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: every month for over a year. I mean there were

864
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: just mass casualty terror attacks in Europe and here at home.

865
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: Isis inspired, isis directed remote control plots. It's died down

866
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: so much, and I'm wondering why that is. We have

867
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: somebody who can help address that question. A whole lot

868
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: more joining us right now. Robert Spencer is with us.

869
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: He is the director of Jihadwatch. He is a new

870
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 1: book out as well, The History of Jihad or Robert,

871
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: thanks for making the time for us great to be here, Buck,

872
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: Thank you. Well, let me ask you that question first

873
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: before we get into the history. Let's talk about the

874
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: present of jihad, if you will, are things right now?

875
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: Isis is not entirely defeated eradicated, but it certainly is

876
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: a shadow of what it formerly was. Is the Trump

877
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: administration taking the fight to the Jihadis in a way

878
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: that's quiet them down? Or should we we getting ahead

879
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: of ourselves? What do you make of the current situation? Oh?

880
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 1: This is very much the Trump effect. And it shows

881
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: that Jihadis understand strength and they understand weakness, and that's

882
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: really the only calculus that they deal with non Muslims upon.

883
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: And so they looked at Obama and all his goodwill

884
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: gestures to the Muslim brotherhood and to Iran and aiding

885
00:51:56,080 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: Jihad forces in Syria against Assad, and they thought he

886
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: was weak and they took advantage, and so the Jihad

887
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: was advancing. They see Trump, they see that he is strong,

888
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: and that's why it's been a bit in abeyance since

889
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: he's become president. But as I show in the book,

890
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: this is a fourteen hundred year old struggle as far

891
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: as they're concerned. It has ebbs and flows, it has

892
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: periods of activity and periods of relatively less activity, but

893
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: it never goes away because it is based on fundamental

894
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: Islamic doctrines. Do you get into or could you, Lisa,

895
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: just tell us now what you make of this ongoing

896
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 1: discussion and debate about how jihad has no military meaning.

897
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: I know you've heard this, Robert, I've heard this too.

898
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: I've heard this my prior life as a canter terrorism

899
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: mans to hear this all the time. No military meaning,

900
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: It just means striving. What do you make of it, Well,

901
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: it does mean striving or struggle in Arabic, and it's

902
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 1: true that you know, you can have struggles or strivings

903
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,919
Speaker 1: that are great and some that are trivial. You can

904
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: try to you can struggle or strive to quit smoking,

905
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: and you can struggle or to defend your civilization. It's

906
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: the same word in Arabic jihad, and it also has

907
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: that same kind of shade of meaning. But there is

908
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 1: no denying that the primary meaning of jihad in Islamic

909
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: law and Islamic theology is warfare against unbelievers to establish

910
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: the rule of Islamic law over them and render them

911
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: second class, discriminated against on an institutionalized basis. And what

912
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: I show in the book is that this is not

913
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: just some small groups idea, or some idea that al

914
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: Qaida invented, or some reaction to the United States foreign policy,

915
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: or reaction to the establishment of Israel, or any of

916
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,879
Speaker 1: these fashionable explanations. But this is something that goes all

917
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: the way back to the beginning of Islam fourteen hundred

918
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: years and has been a constant warfare around the world

919
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: everywhere Hulsums have gone where they're a non Muslim. We're

920
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: speaking of Robert Spencer, who's got a new book out,

921
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 1: The History of Jihad. Robert, if you had to pick

922
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: a place right now that we should be watching, perhaps

923
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: more than we are, where jihad could become a major

924
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: problem not just for that country of the region, but

925
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,720
Speaker 1: perhaps a global threat, as we have seen with Afghanistan,

926
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: with Syria, with Iraq, with Egypt. I mean all these

927
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: different countries around the world. But if there was one

928
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: place that you were saying, keep your eye on this one.

929
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: Things could go bad. There is there one that comes

930
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:22,720
Speaker 1: to mind. Yeah, absolutely, Jordan is the one that immediately

931
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: leaps to mind. Most people think of it. They think

932
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: it's a moderate Muslim country. We've got this king who's

933
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: on our side, and that's the end of the story.

934
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 1: But actually Isis, the Islamic State has considerable support in

935
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: Jordan even now, and the president you may recall, not

936
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,919
Speaker 1: the president, I'm sorry, the king. A few years back,

937
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: you may recall, after the Jordanian pilot was burnt alive

938
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: by ISIS on a video that they circulated around the world,

939
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: the king of King Abdullah of Jordan actually vowed to

940
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: take the fight to them, but he never actually followed up.

941
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 1: And he did not follow up because of the significant

942
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 1: support that Isis enjoys in Jordan. That country is a

943
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: tinderbox that could very easily be destabilized the king overthrown

944
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: right now. Saudi Arabia is facing the same threat. That's

945
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why they are modernizing, letting women

946
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: drive all these things, trying to let steam off some

947
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: of the reform pushes in that country, and also to

948
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 1: gain international support against Iran. Which is a very serious

949
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: threat for Saudi Arabia with Shiis all across the eastern

950
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: seaboard of Saudi Arabia, right near Iran, and that's where

951
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: the oil fields are. And so you're talking about if

952
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 1: Jordan goes, Saudi Arabia could go or vice versa, and

953
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: the whole area could be engulfed in a large scale

954
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: war very easily. What do you what should we know?

955
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: What should we be thinking about with regard to Iranian

956
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: jihad at this point, we know people always talking about

957
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: Iran as a hardline reactionary Islamist regime, which which it

958
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:59,280
Speaker 1: clearly is. But I think in the popular conception, jihad

959
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: is thought of more war with Sunni Jihaddest groups like

960
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: al Qaida in the Islamic State and others. But the

961
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: Iranians don't just want to have Jihaday don't just want

962
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: to have radicalism at home. They want to export it

963
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: abroad as well. Yes, that's right, and that's why Iran

964
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: has a significant part of the last part of this book,

965
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: because they are pursuing jihad purposes, jihad goals around the world.

966
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: They don't do your right, They don't have with the

967
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: exception of his Bala jihad group in Lebanon. They don't

968
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: go in for terror groups like al Qaida and the

969
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 1: Taliban and so on, although they actually do support them,

970
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: because Iran is trying to position itself even though it's

971
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: Shiite and the Shiites are a small minority among Muslims worldwide.

972
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: Iran's trying to position itself as the leader of the

973
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: entire Islamic world, so they fund Sunni Islamic terror groups

974
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:55,439
Speaker 1: like Hamas, al Qaida, the Taliban, and more. And they

975
00:56:55,520 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: are also pursuing a geopolitical strategy of destabilization of the West.

976
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: For example, there is a communist party in Spain that

977
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 1: is funded by the Iranian regime and it has nothing

978
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: to do with Islam. But the Iranians are calculating that

979
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: if they can destabilize the government in Spain and destabilize

980
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: the governments in general around the West, then they can

981
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 1: help to advance their own agenda. One of the other

982
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: examples of this is that his Bala, they're wholly owned

983
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: and operated subsidiary, is operating in northern Mexico with the

984
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: drug cartels. Obviously, that's not the perp the end goal

985
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: of being there. They're ultimately working toward getting here. If

986
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: you want more details on this, folks, if you want

987
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: to know more about what we're talking about, you can

988
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: get the book History of Jihad by Robert Spencer, who's

989
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: with us now. He's director of GIHI Watch. Robert, thank

990
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: you so much for making time. Good luck with the book,

991
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: and come back on the show soon. Thanks. Buck, always

992
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: a pleasure. Call me anytime, all right, team eight four

993
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: four nine two eight two five eight four four or

994
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: nine hundred Buck, we have so much more coming. He's

995
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: back with you now, because when it comes to the

996
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: fight for truth, the fuck never stops. And Grennan leaked

997
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: the information to Harry Reid. Rice goes on TV after

998
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: Benghazi in lies on five different networks about the cause,

999
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: the catalyst of the attack in Benghazi. Clapper Light under

1000
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: oath Comy leaked information through a friend to create momentum

1001
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: for a special Council McCabe Light three times under oath

1002
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: faces a criminal referral. And we know Peter struck it

1003
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 1: and telling the truth because he couldn't even admit that

1004
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: there was bias in his statements too. In his text

1005
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,479
Speaker 1: messages to Lisa Page in the committee hearing, two weeks ago.

1006
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: So the president is fighting back just like he should.

1007
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: And what we also know is this past weekend, everything

1008
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: that we saw in this in this FIS application confirms

1009
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: what we've all been saying for say, you have to

1010
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: really desperately try to put the words together the way

1011
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: that they did. Instead of just having a simple definition,

1012
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: which could have been candidate to hired hired fusion, GPS

1013
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: right or US person one to hire source one to

1014
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: go get the information. That was really simple to explain.

1015
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: The courts would have understood it easily. And I think

1016
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: the courts would have at that point well they should

1017
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: have rejected. I'm not sure they would have, but they

1018
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: should have. I don't blame the judges. I think that

1019
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: judges were misled. Well what really happened here. I want

1020
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: to bring on somebody who has a very well informed

1021
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: point of view on this. You read through all the

1022
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: stuff and he's fierce on Twitter. We've got Sean Davis

1023
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: with a co founder of The Federalist. Check out his

1024
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: latest at the Federalist dot com. Sean' good to have

1025
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: you back, good to be here, Thank you for having me.

1026
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: So so you actually have to deal with the with

1027
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: the Twitter rage mobs coming after you for saying things like, Okay,

1028
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: so this FISA, well, what do you think The FISA

1029
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: information that came out over the weekend tells us. It

1030
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: tells us that dj and FBI willfully deliberately misled the

1031
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: FISA court. They lied to it. They claimed that an

1032
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: article that had been sourced directly to steal not only

1033
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: corroborated steel this circular reasoning, but that Steele wasn't the

1034
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: source of it. They deliberately withheld material facts from the court,

1035
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: like the fact that the DNC and the Hillary campaign

1036
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: funded Fusion GPS, which had hired the source one they

1037
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the FISA application. For anyone who has followed the story, corroborated, confirmed,

1038
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:42,479
Speaker 1: and backed up everything that people like Nunez and Jim

1039
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: Jordan and people like us that the federals who have

1040
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: actually read the documents knew from the beginning was that

1041
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: the Russian collusion investigation, from the very beginning, was a

1042
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 1: setup job started by spurred by false information put together

1043
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: by a Hillary Clinton campaign contractor. And I'm seeing a

1044
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: return of the Oh no, it wasn't Carter Page. It

1045
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 1: was Papadopolis that got this whole thing started. And I

1046
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: keep coming back to you if they can open up

1047
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: a FISA or a surveillance operation of any kind. Quite honestly,

1048
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 1: never mind FISA. Because of what they had on Popidopolis.

1049
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,919
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as a Fourth Amendment anymore, because

1050
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: the FBI can just be like, yeah, we heard you

1051
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: talking about a thing, and we want to know more,

1052
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:25,919
Speaker 1: so we're just gonna mike you up. I mean, it's Shawn,

1053
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: It's crazy. No it is. And if you actually listen

1054
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: to the words of the people involved in the alleged

1055
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Popadopholis meeting which gave rise to the investigation, their rationale

1056
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: makes no sense. We were told that it was a

1057
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: meeting between Alexander Downer and George Popadopolis in which Hillary's

1058
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 1: emails being offered by the Russians were explicitly mentioned, and

1059
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 1: then two late two months later, Alexander Downer brings that

1060
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: to the attention of the FBI, and then they immediately

1061
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: spring into action and they start this investigation. But even Downer,

1062
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: who is allegedly the guy who started this whole thing

1063
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: by having this conversation with Popagopoulus, says that conversation didn't

1064
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 1: even happen, that way that emails never even came up.

1065
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: So when you have the guy whose information was allegedly

1066
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 1: used to start the investigation saying no, I never actually

1067
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: said that stuff. And when you combine that with everything

1068
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: else we know about the cavalcade of lies that we've

1069
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: been given, you can come to no other informed conclusion

1070
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: other than that this was a setup, hack, political job

1071
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: from day one that never should have been approved by

1072
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: any court with a lick of sense or understanding of

1073
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,959
Speaker 1: the Fourth Amendment in the Constitution. Now, I saw also

1074
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: that there were some there, some defenders of the deep

1075
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: state or just anti trumpers out there who were saying, oh, well,

1076
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: this proves that the new Nez memo was wrong, the

1077
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: New nes memo for many months ago, I looked at this,

1078
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: and I read this over the weekend. I read the

1079
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: four unter page report. A lot of it was redactive,

1080
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: which made it easier, but I remember reading through and thinking,

1081
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't see how this, How does that disprove? I mean,

1082
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: what is the case they're even making seawan that because

1083
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: it mentioned somebody that they should have you know, because

1084
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: they didn't specify Hillary Clinton here or there, but they

1085
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: kind of should have known that it was Hillary Clinton

1086
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 1: that they did talk about it. I don't even understand

1087
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: what the cases they're trying to make about this. No, no,

1088
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: the case they're trying to make is that Trump deserved it,

1089
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: and everything flows from that. The most ridiculous assertion I've

1090
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 1: seen that so divorced from reality, is that, oh no, no no, no,

1091
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 1: you can't claim that they withheld the origins of the

1092
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: report from the fires the coort because they included in

1093
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: a footnote a tiny note that said they think us

1094
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: identified person one, which by the way, is Glenn Simpson. Incusion.

1095
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: GPS might have wanted to discredit the Trump campaign, as

1096
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: if somehow that encapsulates, you know, saying, you know, explicitly,

1097
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: this was funded by a political party two and candidate

1098
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: two who were seeking to defeat candidate one in the election. Okay,

1099
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: even if if somebody who wanted to discredit a campaign

1100
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: could be an ex wife, could be an embittered neighbor,

1101
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: could be a political rival, could have been a business rival,

1102
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: to say that that somehow stified the standard of honest

1103
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: disclosure is offensive and nonsensical. Yeah, I'm amazed that people

1104
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: are even trying to hold this up, But I would

1105
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: just note that the that the the privacy of all

1106
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: these people that were not Trump associates was apparently very

1107
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: high up on the fives are, you know, on the

1108
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: minds of these FBI agents, But the privacy of Carter

1109
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: Page or George Poppadoppolis that doesn't matter at all somehow,

1110
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: right Like everyone who's involved here, all the shady characters

1111
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: that are sicking the FBI on Carter Page, they're fine.

1112
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: They we need to make sure that their names that

1113
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: appear in this When when an eighth grader could read

1114
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: some of this five and stuff and go, okay, well

1115
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: we're talking. We know who we're talking about here, right

1116
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: like we know which presidential presidential campaign won, we know

1117
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: who you know, who we're dealing with. So it just

1118
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: seems like it's there's a dishonesty at the heart of

1119
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: a lot of the and that's not even including the redactions.

1120
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 1: That's just the places where they, you know, try to

1121
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: hide the specific identity of a name or an unnamed person.

1122
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: Right in getting into carter Page, anyone who has paid

1123
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: attention to him, listened to him and also read the

1124
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 1: case against him presented in the application and the dossier.

1125
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: The idea that this guy was somehow a secret Russian

1126
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: spy is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

1127
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: And it's funny that, in addition to the silly dossier

1128
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: nonsense and all the circular referential self referential corroboration of

1129
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: the dossier, the FBI and dj cited a case without

1130
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: telling the court what actually happens that involved some corrupt Russians,

1131
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: and they said that Carter Page had been involved with it,

1132
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: without telling the court that he had actually assisted the

1133
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: FBI in bringing those people to justice. I mean, the

1134
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: whole thing, from beginning to end is a joke, and

1135
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 1: anyone who says otherwise is being dishonest or they're incompetent

1136
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: or illiterate. Now, what do you think about the stripping

1137
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: of the possible stripping of clearances. I'm taking a lot

1138
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: of heat shown. I'm like, why, first of all, why

1139
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: is this defcon one for the media all of a sudden.

1140
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: A clearance is not a civil rights issue. It's not

1141
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: a constitutional issue. It's a privilege, not a right of

1142
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: any kind. The presidence of commander in chief. He can

1143
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: strip clearances if he wants to. And when you've got

1144
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: people that were in the government using their high, high

1145
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: level access to undermine the incoming presidency. I don't think

1146
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 1: they should have clearances. That seems to make sense to me. Well,

1147
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: I think you can get broader than that. If the

1148
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 1: only reason you had a clearance is because you were

1149
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: working in government, you don't need that clearance anymore when

1150
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 1: you leave government. I don't care if you're James Comey

1151
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: or James Clapper or John Brennan. Once you're out of government,

1152
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 1: especially if you're a political appointee, especially if you're a

1153
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: political appointee and you're eighteen months out, there is no

1154
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: reason on Earth why you should get to keep your

1155
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: security clearance. And it's rather obvious if the only reason

1156
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 1: these reporters are just so up in arms about it

1157
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: is because as soon as these guys lose their clearances,

1158
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: these reporters lose their access to classified leaks. Yeah, Sean

1159
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: said it, everybody, and I think Sean's right. So there

1160
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 1: you go, Sean Davis, everybody of the federalists. Check out

1161
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:00,919
Speaker 1: what he's written at the federal dot Com and also

1162
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: all the other fine writers over there. Sean, keep owning

1163
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 1: the libs on Twitter, all right? You make me proud.

1164
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: This administration is on a crusade against people who they

1165
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: do not consider original Americans. What they've done at the

1166
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: border is an example of it. What they've done in

1167
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, and they are on a jihad to deport

1168
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: as many people as they can who they believe are

1169
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: not in the United States legally. And the fact is,

1170
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: instead of supporting our ICE officers, many of these Democrat

1171
01:07:56,080 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: politicians who are really disciples of a very low IQ person,

1172
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: Maxine Waters and perhaps even worse Nancy Pelosi, they've launched

1173
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,879
Speaker 1: vicious smears on the brave men and women who defend

1174
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: our communities. ICE officers work in dangerous conditions to protect

1175
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: our communities, and more than a third of ICE officers

1176
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 1: happened to be veterans themselves. Thank goodness for ICE, because

1177
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 1: we have some of the worst drug dealers, terrorists, criminals,

1178
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: and MS thirteen gang members and we're either throwing them

1179
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: the hell in jail, are throwing them out of our country.

1180
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: And ICE goes up there and they walk in like

1181
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 1: it's another day in the office. Thank goodness for ICE.

1182
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 1: The Democrats that's want to abandon ICE, they want to

1183
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: end ICE. ICE is tough and smart and they track

1184
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 1: them down and they stop tremendous amounts of crime and

1185
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 1: these are great people and then not being treated properly.

1186
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 1: So that's the president on Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, the

1187
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 1: federal agency known his ICE. You know, Democrats picked this fight.

1188
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: They picked this fight with regard to ICE. They were

1189
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 1: the ones who decided that they were going to make

1190
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 1: this a campaign issue for the midterms. A'mbolish abolish ICE

1191
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: like they decided to do that. They did not have

1192
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: to do that. This was a choice that they made.

1193
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: And looking at this now, I have to say that

1194
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 1: this is going to be I would hope a hindrance

1195
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 1: for them. I hope that this hurts them in the

1196
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 1: mid terms because it should. Don't think that their propaganda

1197
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 1: has not had a market effect. Though they're anti IIS

1198
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: agitation have resulted in people really thinking poorly of Immigrations

1199
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement and what this is. That's why Trump's

1200
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: so important there. You know, I played that Cuomo. No

1201
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: bother likes ye because that's very cold. You put it

1202
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: in your hand and it feels like, oh no, I

1203
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 1: can't feel my fingers. Oh wait, that is a different

1204
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: kind of ice. I'm the Governor of New York. I

1205
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: should know better, but I played that where he said

1206
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: crusade in geehad. First of all, he's trying to be

1207
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 1: provocative with that whole thing, right, A crusade a geehad.

1208
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: All of it is harder when it's icy outside because

1209
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:45,560
Speaker 1: of coldness with ice, you know. The the governor was

1210
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: saying that the Governor of New York was saying that

1211
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: stuff because he thinks that this is going to be

1212
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: good for Democrats right now. Trump though, points something out

1213
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: that this whole abolished Ice mantra, this mania about abolishing

1214
01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: immigrations and customs enforcement, does not take into a count

1215
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: or at least most people don't understand that when they

1216
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: are defaming Ice and calling them, you know, tyrants and

1217
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 1: thugs and all these terrible things. They're saying, abolish ice,

1218
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 1: it's it's guilty of war crimes or inhumanity, not war crimes, sorry,

1219
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: in humanitarian acts. Inhumane acts. Although the sum have said

1220
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: that it is effectively like a concentration camp down there,

1221
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: So don't don't think that there's any rhetoric that's really

1222
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 1: beyond the pale for them. But with the decision to

1223
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 1: make abolish ice, a campaign issue. But I remember Democrats

1224
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: did this. This was all Democrats. They created this whole narrative.

1225
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 1: What they are going to have to live with now

1226
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:51,919
Speaker 1: is that immigrations and customs enforcement is, as was mentioned,

1227
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 1: a large percentage of about a third or veterans. So

1228
01:11:55,600 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: these Democrats are defaming and in a sense rhetorically spinning

1229
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: on veterans. They're definitely defaming and spitting on law enforcement here.

1230
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: And I can't help but notice that the respect that

1231
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:14,520
Speaker 1: they feel, the reverence, Oh my gosh, the FBI is incredible,

1232
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: especially FBI leadership and DJ leadership amazing when it comes

1233
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:22,560
Speaker 1: to the Russia collusion probe. You know, the FBI and

1234
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: the intelligence community are all of a sudden beyond criticism.

1235
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: By the way, for people like me that were in

1236
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: the intel community when there was a Republican president before,

1237
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 1: and it wasn't in the interests of the mainstream media

1238
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: to prop up some narrative of infallibility for the intelligence community.

1239
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 1: I just I want to laugh and cry about what's

1240
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,639
Speaker 1: going on right now. Oh, we were mocked for getting

1241
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: I Rock wrong. We were mocked for black sites for torture.

1242
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 1: Not just mock, I mean they were talking about throwing

1243
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:53,440
Speaker 1: some of us in prison for that, Black Sites, torture, WMD,

1244
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 1: all these different debacles that's all forgotten now Now it's

1245
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: how could you ever question the intelligence community assessment on Russia?

1246
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: How dare you, sir? And Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, which

1247
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 1: is also law enforcement in law enforcement agency that doesn't

1248
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: get the benefit of the doubt, that doesn't get any

1249
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 1: special consideration or protection or anything else. No. No, they

1250
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: think that anything that they can do to undermine it

1251
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:25,719
Speaker 1: at this point is somehow justified. They think that that's

1252
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 1: a fair thing. And Trump is the only Republican politician

1253
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: I know of right now, the only Republican leader period

1254
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: who is really making the case about what Democrats do want.

1255
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 1: The forgotten men and women of our country are forgotten

1256
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: no more. The Democrats are trying to find out who

1257
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 1: are these people that came out to vote. Where did

1258
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: they come from? Remember that, where did they come from?

1259
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: Now they know, But they're not going to the Democrats

1260
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: who are going so far left that nobody can believe it.

1261
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 1: They want open borders and crimes. Okay, we want strong

1262
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: borders and we want no crime. That's other than that.

1263
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: We're very similar other than that, we're very subject. We

1264
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: also know that to be a strong nation, we have

1265
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: to have these strong orders. We cannot send our military

1266
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: to confront threats abroad only to allow those same threats

1267
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: to cross our borders and to threaten us right here

1268
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 1: at home. Trump understands what's really going on with immigration,

1269
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 1: and he makes the case in a way that we

1270
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 1: get it, We hear it. It's sensible. We know that

1271
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:45,600
Speaker 1: the Democrats have been lying on this. We know that

1272
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:48,560
Speaker 1: you can trust Democrats on this issue. It couldn't be

1273
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: any more clear. He says it. He doesn't dance around

1274
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: the issue. He's not saying, oh, let's do work permits,

1275
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:56,680
Speaker 1: or let's find a way to increase visas or no, no, no,

1276
01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 1: let's deal with the fact that the Democrat party right

1277
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,759
Speaker 1: now doesn't want to send anyone home was here illegally.

1278
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm seeing people say why do they even

1279
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:07,799
Speaker 1: call them illegals? Well, because the official term is illegal alien.

1280
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 1: If people who come into the country illegally aren't going

1281
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: to be deported, I want to know, should we even

1282
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: have that law on the books. A law that is

1283
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: not enforced very quickly ceases to be a law. But

1284
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 1: what Democrats want for the purposes of trying to take

1285
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: back power so they can then win the House and

1286
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: then move right onto impeachment. Is getting their base fired

1287
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 1: up with promises of abolishing an agency that's only doing

1288
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 1: what Democrats until about a minute ago, we're pretending they

1289
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:39,680
Speaker 1: wanted too, which was enforcement of immigration laws. You know

1290
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 1: you need a home security system, right, but which one

1291

1292
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,600
Speaker 1: into long term contracts, The customer service is garbage, and

1293
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 1: you didn't even know how to use this system. He

1294

1313
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: Why is it that of all of the transgressions in

1314
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 1: our modern society that seemed to be the most likely

1315
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: to be made up? There are there's a there's a

1316
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 1: category of racist or xenophobic, you know, various transagressions related

1317
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 1: to the isms racism, sexism, etc. But particularly racism. And

1318
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 1: we find out that they are hoaxes. This is something

1319
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,640
Speaker 1: that you can't help but but pick up when you

1320
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 1: see enough of what's going on in the news. There's

1321
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: no way to avoid this. And we've got another one here,

1322
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 1: another one here about a server at a steakhouse in

1323
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: Texas who made up the viral story about a customer,

1324
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:06,800
Speaker 1: a customer who who allegedly wrote, we don't tip terrorist

1325
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: on a receipt. This was in Odessa, Texas. He wrote

1326
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 1: in zero for his tip. This was what the story

1327
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 1: initially said, and at the top of the receipt decided

1328
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:23,799
Speaker 1: to write that, you know, we don't tip terrorist his story.

1329
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: This story became international. Okay, this got international attention. People

1330
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 1: all across the country. We're being told about this terrible

1331
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: situation at the Salt Grass Steakhouse of this server who

1332
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: has you know, we don't tip terrorists and he gave

1333
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: him zero. And I know I would note that a

1334
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:47,839
Speaker 1: lot of us read this and thought to ourselves. Myself

1335
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 1: myself included no, no, I'm buy it. But you're not

1336
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 1: allowed to say that. Oh no, no, not allowed to

1337
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 1: say that ever, No allowed to suggest that maybe we

1338
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: before we jumped to conclusions and possibly rule in someone's life.

1339
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:04,200
Speaker 1: Right Once, once you've been branded a racist in the

1340
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 1: in the kind of viral moment of the media, you're done.

1341
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean not only you're gonna lose your job, you're

1342
01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: gonna lose your reputation and you may be unemployable. I

1343
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 1: mean it's if you write don't tip terrorist on a

1344
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: Muslim guy's receipt at at at a restaurant, you may

1345
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 1: find yourself unemployable until you change your name. I mean,

1346
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 1: this is gonna have real ramifications. But a lot of

1347
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 1: us saw this and thought to ourselves, you know that

1348
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 1: just I don't know, it just seems too Who would

1349
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:36,679
Speaker 1: be so stupid as to do that? Right, You're because

1350
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 1: remember it's with a credit card, so they know who

1351
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: you are. You're gonna take that risk in this day

1352
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: and age, in this media environment. Put it aside whether

1353
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 1: somebody would would just decide to be such a jerk,

1354
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:50,519
Speaker 1: because there are people who are you know, look, I

1355
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: know they're a racist and bigots and all that. And

1356
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: this is where the left always comes in and says, oh,

1357
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 1: the racism is real. I know, racism is real. We

1358
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: all know racism is real. It's real around the world,

1359
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,759
Speaker 1: by the way, it's real, and every society, at every

1360
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 1: place on the planet, there is no such thing as

1361
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: a race free society. It does not exist in fact.

1362
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: And when you actually go into countries that are particularly homogeneous, well,

1363
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: when you have a country where there's very little racial uh,

1364
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, very little in terms of racial diversity, you

1365
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: see that the people there can be particularly uncomfortable with

1366
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: outsiders and those different from themselves. Anyway, So this guy,

1367
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: he wrote this, or he claims that that the waiter

1368
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: in this restaurant attacks this, claims that the guy wrote,

1369
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 1: you know, we don't tip terrorist, and it was a fake.

1370
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:46,640
Speaker 1: It was a hoax. It was a hoax. What awe surprise.

1371
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 1: A lot of us feel like this is in fact

1372
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 1: something that we should come to expect at this point.

1373
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of these, whether it's a girl

1374
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:58,840
Speaker 1: in New York making up a story about two guys

1375
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:01,639
Speaker 1: attacking her wearing aga hats while they're on the train.

1376
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, we see these these incidents that just sound

1377
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: too perfect out of the left wing playbook and you know,

1378
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,680
Speaker 1: a playbook of victimology. And we say, well, I just

1379
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 1: don't think I just don't think that that is a

1380
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:21,840
Speaker 1: likely scenario. And if you suggest that, if you say that,

1381
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: you're a bad they want you to know you're a

1382
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 1: bad person. You know. If you say, well, I've got

1383
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 1: some questions, can we ask for further details? Can we

1384
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: have the victim actually tell us a bit more about

1385
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 1: who who did this or why or what they think

1386
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: really happened, then you're a bad person. Meanwhile, this keeps happening,

1387
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 1: and you know, you got to ask yourself this question,

1388
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 1: if racism in this country is really as bad as

1389
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 1: they say it is, and if anti Muslim bigotry is

1390
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 1: as terrible as they are suggesting all the time, why

1391
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,679
Speaker 1: do we have so many of these hoax hate crimes

1392
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: that come up? And why is it that after an incident,

1393
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 1: for example, of Jihada's terrorism, I'll see on the you know,

1394
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 1: the huffy and posts, the sitesvox dot com and others,

1395
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 1: they'll run some statistic about a rise in hate crimes.

1396
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: Then I'll look and the hate crimes will include someone

1397
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 1: who allegedly said something mean to someone wearing a headscarf somewhere. Well,

1398
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: that's that's not exactly a five alarm fire. I mean,

1399
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: I feel like that, that's not nice. But we could

1400
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 1: probably use more details before we go much further. That said,

1401
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 1: you do take risks. Now, there's no question that there

1402
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:36,559
Speaker 1: have been a number of instances of people attacked for

1403
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:40,760
Speaker 1: wearing Trump garb, for wearing things that associate them with

1404
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. And what's even more astonishing, well, perhaps

1405
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be astonishing. I guess we should be at

1406
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:51,080
Speaker 1: a point now where I suppose we accept this kind

1407
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 1: of behavior, not behavior, but approach from the media. They

1408
01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:00,479
Speaker 1: will push it aside, they'll try to do the minimum

1409
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 1: of coverage on it, and you can't help but get

1410
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:06,719
Speaker 1: the sense that for the mainstream media, whenever somebody wearing

1411
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: a MAGA hat is in fact attacked, there is a

1412
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: sense that, you know, maybe that person had it coming,

1413
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,439
Speaker 1: maybe they you know, maybe they should have thought twice

1414
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 1: before they decided to show their support for this president.

1415
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 1: So this is when when we get into why people

1416
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,560
Speaker 1: don't trust the media, why they think the media is dishonest.

1417
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 1: This is one of the areas where they really do

1418
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:33,719
Speaker 1: show their bias. The way that different vetim different victims

1419
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: are treated by different media outlets. That really shows you

1420
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 1: what their political biases are, and it's something that they

1421
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: can't help themselves. They'll do this all the time. Republicans,

1422
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:51,599
Speaker 1: particularly white male Christians, are just not victims that the

1423
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 1: media wants to talk much about. It's not something they

1424
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:58,720
Speaker 1: want to spend much time on. And these racism hoaxes,

1425
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 1: it's a version of what you see on Twitter. You

1426
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 1: see on Twitter you'll have a left wing journal journalist

1427
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 1: who will write something inflammatory about President Trump. It'll be

1428
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 1: completely untrue, but they'll write something about Trump or his administration,

1429
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:17,839
Speaker 1: and then they will issue a correction, perhaps of the tweet,

1430
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 1: but they want to leave the initial tweet up usually

1431
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 1: and that's because the initial tweet got you know, thirty

1432
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 1: thousand retweets, went viral. The correction tweet got ten retweets.

1433
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 1: Nobody cares. So you you, you benefit from being a

1434
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 1: partisan who is dishonest. You benefit from being someone who's

1435
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 1: a political actor pretending not to be. And you know,

1436
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 1: this is when I look at what's going on with

1437
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:48,759
Speaker 1: the way that these different you know, media outlets treat

1438
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 1: these incidents of you know, a hate crime hoax. They

1439
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 1: just don't want to talk about it. They don't have

1440
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 1: an interest in it, they don't have any focus on this.

1441
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 1: And you know, you just you know, the initial story

1442
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: and this is what I mean by the Twitter comparison.

1443
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 1: The initial story about the incident of racism, National News,

1444
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 1: all these outlets covering it, the correction when it's a

1445
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 1: complete and utter hoax. Okay, the employer found out that

1446
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 1: his employee made it up. That doesn't get nearly as

1447
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 1: much attention. This is all you have to see to

1448
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:30,280
Speaker 1: understand the narrative formation that is at work here, and

1449
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,719
Speaker 1: This is how the other side is always is playing

1450
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 1: the game. I want to talk to you speaking on

1451
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 1: narrative formation. I want to talk to you about this

1452
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 1: shooting up in shooting up in Canada where you know,

1453
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 1: they were very quick to tell us right away, they

1454
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:49,559
Speaker 1: were very quick to tell us that this was a

1455
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 1: mental health issue. And I'm not saying it's not. I

1456
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:55,479
Speaker 1: know I read that the guy was you know, had

1457
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: a long history, had a history of mental illness. But

1458
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: they've immediate they turned this into a gun control discussion

1459
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 1: in a city that has very tight gun control, in

1460
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 1: a country that has tight gun control. That's what they

1461
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:09,599
Speaker 1: are switching to right away. I just wonder, is there anything,

1462
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, ideologically speaking, is there anything that we need

1463
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: to take a look at here other than just mental illness?

1464
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: Could it be mental illness plus radicalization of some kind.

1465
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 1: I want to walk through that with you coming up

1466
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 1: here in just a moment, team, so stay with me

1467
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: for that. So, there was a shooting that did not

1468
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of attention in in Toronto. Initially

1469
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 1: it did. To be fair, initially it did. And the

1470
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 1: shooting was in a crowded area that I'd leave It's

1471
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: called like the Greek town or a Greek area of Toronto,

1472
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 1: and you had a lot of people were hit and

1473
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: thirteen wounded, two people killed, including a ten year old girl.

1474
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 1: So this is a multiple person fatality shooting with over

1475
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:29,640
Speaker 1: a dozen people who were hit by bullets. And immediately

1476
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 1: people started to get into their position for okay, how

1477
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 1: do we make this a political fight? What do we

1478
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:39,599
Speaker 1: do to I'm just being honest about this. Every time

1479
01:27:39,640 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 1: there's a mass shooting now of any kind, people try

1480
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: to establish some means of using it for political gain.

1481
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 1: Right there, They're gonna infuse it with their narrative, whatever

1482
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 1: that may be. However it is that they see it,

1483
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:56,519
Speaker 1: they come together and come up with some way to

1484
01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 1: attach it to their favored, their favored talking one. And

1485
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:02,599
Speaker 1: I saw this one, I thought to myself, Okay, well,

1486
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:04,599
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen here is it's immediately going to turn

1487
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 1: into a gun control versus terrorism struggle in the news media.

1488
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: That's what they were going to make of it, and

1489
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 1: sure enough they did. But I would note that, you know,

1490
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:18,200
Speaker 1: there is this period where we're all told now to

1491
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: wait with the motive, and sometimes you see why that's

1492
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:25,559
Speaker 1: a good idea there was a a vehicular attack in

1493
01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: Canada that was one of these involved what is it,

1494
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: involuntary in cell, involuntary celibate, you know, maniacs who just

1495
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:39,760
Speaker 1: who couldn't get any female attention, so he just ran

1496
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:44,559
Speaker 1: a bunch of people down with his car. That's yeah.

1497
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: That was April ten. In April ten people were killed.

1498
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:50,800
Speaker 1: That was when the driver of a rental van struck

1499
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 1: all these people on the sidewalk. So, you know, you

1500
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 1: don't always know. And I'm not somebody who jumps right

1501
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:59,639
Speaker 1: to the oh, it's terrorism, it's terrorism, because sometimes it's

1502
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 1: not terrorism. Sometimes it's just a crazy person, and sometimes

1503
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 1: it is some form of extremism that is not gee

1504
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 1: hootism or the most likely, you know, the most likely

1505
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 1: situation which has given these kinds of shootings, you would

1506
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 1: expect it, you'd expect it to be a gee hottis right.

1507
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 1: So I look at this one, and sure enough the

1508
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 1: name came out of the shooter, twenty nine year old

1509
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 1: Toronto resident. The gunman has been identified as Faisal Who's sin.

1510
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:39,120
Speaker 1: Now I have to ask you what are we to

1511
01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:42,120
Speaker 1: make of the motive here? This guy is dressed in black,

1512
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:45,640
Speaker 1: He walks up to a walks up to this restaurant

1513
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:50,479
Speaker 1: area in a trendy neighborhood and just shoots as many

1514
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 1: people as he possibly can. Now they are telling us

1515
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:58,920
Speaker 1: that this is psychosis, that he is somebody who has

1516
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 1: a long history of mental illness. I am not denying

1517
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:04,760
Speaker 1: that is the case. He may have a lot of

1518
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,160
Speaker 1: he may have a long history of mental illness. But

1519
01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:11,640
Speaker 1: I would just be cautious about this new trend that

1520
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm seeing in a mass shooting that perhaps involves somebody

1521
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:25,280
Speaker 1: of Islamic extraction, that there may be a reactionary move

1522
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:30,800
Speaker 1: to label these things as mental health related, because then

1523
01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:34,840
Speaker 1: everyone feels everyone feels sympathy for the family, right, everyone

1524
01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: feels like, oh, well, it was no one's fault, this

1525
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,680
Speaker 1: was just a very deeply mentally ill person or not.

1526
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:43,040
Speaker 1: Everyone feels sympathy for the for the family of the shooter.

1527
01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:45,320
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, there's there's a greater

1528
01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 1: sense of this was just a terrible tragedy, severe mental illness,

1529
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,599
Speaker 1: and that's what led us. But you know, when you

1530
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:59,719
Speaker 1: look at the statistics, millions and millions of Americans, for example,

1531
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 1: I'm it's true in Canada as well. I have some

1532
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 1: form of ment of a mental health challenge, whatever it

1533
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:08,920
Speaker 1: may be, it's on a tremendous spectrum, right, And we

1534
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 1: see this from physical health too. There's a huge difference

1535
01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:16,800
Speaker 1: between you know, I have a cold and I have ebola. Right,

1536
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 1: there's a huge spectrum of what constitutes illness, and that's

1537
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 1: true of mental illness as well. And I'm not saying

1538
01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:25,599
Speaker 1: I can't diagnose this guy. I don't know his history,

1539
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 1: but I do sense. Okay, Well, here's a guy who

1540
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:31,720
Speaker 1: is clearly he is of Islamic extraction, shoots up a

1541
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 1: bunch of people, and immediately we're being told, oh, well,

1542
01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:36,679
Speaker 1: we don't know the motive, but he has a history

1543
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:40,599
Speaker 1: of mental illness. Okay. Is it so extreme that he

1544
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 1: was completely that he was not of sound mind and

1545
01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:46,160
Speaker 1: would not be able to stand trial in a court.

1546
01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:49,360
Speaker 1: Or did he have a history of you know, abusing

1547
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:53,160
Speaker 1: some alcohol or drugs and some tough times and he

1548
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:57,320
Speaker 1: turned to radical Islam. You know, I just would keep

1549
01:31:57,320 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 1: an eye on this. I'm I'm not suggesting I don't

1550
01:31:59,920 --> 01:32:03,479
Speaker 1: know the full details here, No one does yet Moore's

1551
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 1: coming out, but I sense that, in an effort to

1552
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 1: always make these incidents that could involve somebody who may

1553
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:15,599
Speaker 1: have been a radicalized jihadist. To make it about mental

1554
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:18,760
Speaker 1: health and guns is a much more comfortable position for

1555
01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:20,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people doing the reporting and everything else

1556
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 1: than to talk about Islamic radicalization. I'm just noting this

1557
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 1: because I'm wondering, I mean, what are the chances that

1558
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:31,320
Speaker 1: this guy involved the mass shooting. Canada does not have

1559
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:38,559
Speaker 1: a vast population of Muslim Canadians. It does seem like

1560
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:41,040
Speaker 1: a coincidence that this guy who you may look at

1561
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 1: and say, hold on, he has an Islamic background. Was

1562
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:46,080
Speaker 1: there Islamic radicalism involved here? Oh no, no, don't even

1563
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 1: ask that question. Let's just go right to mental health

1564
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:52,200
Speaker 1: and let's throw everybody, by the way, who has any

1565
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:55,960
Speaker 1: kind of a mental health issue into this position where

1566
01:32:56,720 --> 01:33:01,680
Speaker 1: oh so, now that's the you know, anytime it's anytime

1567
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,400
Speaker 1: there's a mass shooting in the US or in Canada,

1568
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:09,120
Speaker 1: we have to have a discussion about how mental health

1569
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:12,120
Speaker 1: recorded to be more accessible to the authorities, and mental

1570
01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:15,160
Speaker 1: health treatment perhaps needs to be a closer in line

1571
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 1: with law enforcement. And you know, there's a tradeoff there, folks,

1572
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 1: there's a tradeoff that's being made. You know, when we

1573
01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 1: decide that. I don't know if it's the case here,

1574
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:27,479
Speaker 1: but I'm just trying to get ahead of where I

1575
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:29,679
Speaker 1: think some of this may be going. When we decide

1576
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 1: that somebody who may have turned to radical Islam but

1577
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 1: has a background that has some mental health issues in it,

1578
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 1: if it's going to be just a focus on mental health,

1579
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:42,760
Speaker 1: then you can see that, oh, we're not going to

1580
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:45,559
Speaker 1: talk about radicalization and what really occurs. And by the way,

1581
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:49,840
Speaker 1: it's not going to be counter radicalization efforts that we

1582
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 1: focus on. It's going to be well, how do we

1583
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:56,240
Speaker 1: have better information sharing with law enforcement personnel about you know,

1584
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:59,320
Speaker 1: people who have substance abuse issues, people who have PTSD,

1585
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:03,600
Speaker 1: people a whole host of very common, very widespread, and

1586
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:08,839
Speaker 1: very understandable and treatable mental health problems. So there's politics

1587
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 1: of all, I'm not even going down the Oh Canada

1588
01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:13,719
Speaker 1: says tighter gun laws. Toronto is very strict gun laws.

1589
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:15,240
Speaker 1: But now they're staying tighter gun laws. We all, we

1590
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:16,800
Speaker 1: all know they're going to do that no matter what.

1591
01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:20,120
Speaker 1: But I thought it was it was just not worthy

1592
01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 1: that here, everywhere there's no talk of even the possibility

1593
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:26,160
Speaker 1: of radicalization, and the press it's just oh, he has

1594
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:28,400
Speaker 1: a background with mental health health issues. Let me tell

1595
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:30,560
Speaker 1: you a lot of Jihadas have a background that you

1596
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 1: could point to and say there are mental health problems there.

1597
01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:36,840
Speaker 1: But that's not to say that the primary problem is

1598
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 1: mental health. The primary problem is the radicalization that they

1599
01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 1: go through to become mujahideen, to become holy warriors. Right,

1600
01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:47,120
Speaker 1: Maybe that has nothing to do with this. Maybe this

1601
01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:49,080
Speaker 1: guy didn't even pray. Maybe this guy's not even Muslim.

1602
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm not even religious. I'm just looking at this and

1603
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:58,160
Speaker 1: asking some questions and urging some caution before we accept

1604
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,000
Speaker 1: the narrative and move on, because that's what they always

1605
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 1: want you to do with these Even when it turns

1606
01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:04,680
Speaker 1: out it is radicalization, we've already moved on. Right, Oh,

1607
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 1: it's guns and mental health. Move on. Oh it's guns

1608
01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:09,960
Speaker 1: and mental health. Move on. That to me seems a

1609
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 1: bit convenient for people who are very political in how

1610
01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:17,680
Speaker 1: they cover these cases. All right, I'll be right back.

1611
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:32,479
Speaker 1: He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton his back.

1612
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 1: How to pay for college? The topic that a lot

1613
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:41,320
Speaker 1: of folks are focused on these days, because I think

1614
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:45,200
Speaker 1: that as we've got more and more people than ever before,

1615
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:49,840
Speaker 1: going off to college and we're not seeing that it

1616
01:35:49,960 --> 01:35:54,600
Speaker 1: is necessarily a wise decision from from a return on

1617
01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:58,400
Speaker 1: investment perspective. At least you know that the earnings are

1618
01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:02,320
Speaker 1: not necessarily keeping up with the expectations of a lot

1619
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:04,120
Speaker 1: of people that are taken on these debt burdens. Remember

1620
01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 1: a trillion dollars a trillion dollars student debt burden, which

1621
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:12,400
Speaker 1: a student loan burden. Well, the same thing which is

1622
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 1: out there and people are are understanding now that maybe

1623
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:19,200
Speaker 1: there needs to be a rethink of some of these

1624
01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:22,439
Speaker 1: policies about student loans. Well, here's at least something you

1625
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:25,439
Speaker 1: got to give credit for it being thinking outside the box.

1626
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:30,360
Speaker 1: The Boston was Boston Herald or Boston Club. Boston Herald

1627
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:35,879
Speaker 1: reporting that colleges are asking for a share of future

1628
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:42,040
Speaker 1: salary in lieu of loans. Here's what they say. As

1629
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 1: more students baka the debtloads they face after graduation, some

1630
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:48,439
Speaker 1: colleges are offering an alternative, will pay your tuition if

1631
01:36:48,479 --> 01:36:52,919
Speaker 1: you offer us a percentage of your future salary. Norwich

1632
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:55,920
Speaker 1: University announced Tuesday it will become the latest school to

1633
01:36:55,960 --> 01:37:00,440
Speaker 1: offer this type of contract, known as an income share agreement.

1634
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:03,360
Speaker 1: An origeous program is starting out on a small scale,

1635
01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 1: mainly for students who do not have access to other

1636
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:07,559
Speaker 1: types of loans or who are taking longer than the

1637
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:13,080
Speaker 1: traditional eight semesters to finish their degree. So you know,

1638
01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:16,080
Speaker 1: in this case they're gonna be paying a percentage of

1639
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 1: their salary. I gotta say that, you know, maybe this

1640
01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:23,000
Speaker 1: is a good idea, Maybe it'll work better for people.

1641
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:26,120
Speaker 1: You know, Milton Friedman, in fact, was the one who

1642
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:30,280
Speaker 1: offered income share agreements back in nineteen fifty five. Yale

1643
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:34,400
Speaker 1: University had some experiments with a back in the seventies,

1644
01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:38,880
Speaker 1: So this is not a completely new idea, but you're

1645
01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:43,479
Speaker 1: seeing it come back because people are realizing that, you know,

1646
01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:45,760
Speaker 1: the the term of the agreement and everything else can

1647
01:37:45,800 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 1: be favorable in comparison to a massive debt load with

1648
01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:52,840
Speaker 1: a set percentage rate on it. So they cite someone

1649
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:55,679
Speaker 1: here is paying back eight percent of his income. Oh,

1650
01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:57,639
Speaker 1: it's less than less than agents take. I can tell

1651
01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:02,840
Speaker 1: you that. And the federal loans allow people to also,

1652
01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 1: you know, you can do part federal loans and part

1653
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:06,599
Speaker 1: this way. But you know, this is a good at

1654
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:08,680
Speaker 1: least this is moving in the right direction. You know,

1655
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:10,960
Speaker 1: at least you've got people here were thinking about how

1656
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:13,000
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to service their debtload, how

1657
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:17,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to meet the expectations of repayment

1658
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:19,599
Speaker 1: that they have set up for themselves or that they

1659
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:24,160
Speaker 1: have been set up with. And you know, that makes things, uh,

1660
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:27,680
Speaker 1: I think down the line, it could make things a

1661
01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:30,320
Speaker 1: bit easier. But I would also note that if you

1662
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: have to go through such extreme lengths to pay for

1663
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:37,040
Speaker 1: an undergraduate program, it is worth asking a question. When

1664
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:40,640
Speaker 1: I've asked here many times, how valuable is that undergraduate

1665
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:44,920
Speaker 1: program really? You know, I can tell you this and

1666
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:48,240
Speaker 1: the graduate level, what you're talking about, law school, business school,

1667
01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:51,000
Speaker 1: those kinds of programs people are not shy about saying

1668
01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 1: if you're gonna pay for it yourself, If you're gonna

1669
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:57,120
Speaker 1: pay for it yourself, you better be in a position

1670
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:01,240
Speaker 1: to say that it's an elite school. It better being

1671
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:02,880
Speaker 1: elite school, because if you're going to pay for it

1672
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:06,160
Speaker 1: out of pocket and it's a second or third tier institution,

1673
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:09,000
Speaker 1: it's not about snobbery. It's just about the marketplace value

1674
01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:10,720
Speaker 1: of it. You know, you don't want to go to

1675
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 1: the worst law school in the country. Some of you're

1676
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:14,720
Speaker 1: probably yelling at me. Yeah. I saw that piece on

1677
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:17,400
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen too, and they're saying it's the worst accredited

1678
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:20,040
Speaker 1: law school in the United States. I think Cohen's a

1679
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 1: great lawyer. No, but I thought that piece was. There

1680
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:27,400
Speaker 1: was some snobbery in that one. But there is an

1681
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:29,160
Speaker 1: overall point here, which is, if you're going to take

1682
01:39:29,200 --> 01:39:32,519
Speaker 1: out loans, you should understand that this is a product

1683
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 1: that you were buying. That these degrees, whether the advanced

1684
01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 1: degrees or an undergraduate degree, it's it's a product. Yes,

1685
01:39:38,280 --> 01:39:40,720
Speaker 1: it's an education, but you're in a better position now.

1686
01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:42,920
Speaker 1: Anyone is in a better position now than ever before

1687
01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:47,559
Speaker 1: to educate himself or herself. There are more resources, more

1688
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:52,160
Speaker 1: free knowledge, and more self training than ever. And I

1689
01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:54,080
Speaker 1: do think that there's a lot of Look, I wish

1690
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:56,599
Speaker 1: I knew computer coding. I wish there were a whole

1691
01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:59,360
Speaker 1: bunch of things that I have no background and whatsoever.

1692
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 1: I still think it's amazing. I don't know how I'm

1693
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:05,160
Speaker 1: gonna you have had this experience. I think it's astonishing

1694
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 1: that we get people that graduate, they go all the

1695
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:13,600
Speaker 1: way through college and have never taken a basic finance

1696
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 1: and you know, financial management, class. I don't mean managing

1697
01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:21,400
Speaker 1: the assets of millionaires and hanging out with Thurston how

1698
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:24,360
Speaker 1: the third on the yacht. I'm talking about what should

1699
01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:26,800
Speaker 1: you do for your long term financial future? How should

1700
01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 1: you structure if you're going to rent? How much of

1701
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 1: your how much of your income should you be spending

1702
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:32,600
Speaker 1: on rent? If you're out of four oh one k?

1703
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:37,519
Speaker 1: What's the proper percentage? What's a ETFs? Every American should

1704
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:41,000
Speaker 1: actually know these things, and a lot of us and

1705
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 1: myself included, have had to be self taught with this

1706
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:45,920
Speaker 1: after all that schooling. You know, I think I had

1707
01:40:45,960 --> 01:40:49,760
Speaker 1: the you know, the history of Ancient Rome three or

1708
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 1: four different times in my academic career. I think we

1709
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,720
Speaker 1: could have taken one semester to say, hey, here's how

1710
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:56,960
Speaker 1: not just you balance a checkbook, but here's how you

1711
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,719
Speaker 1: should think about your long term finances. Here's what different

1712
01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:03,120
Speaker 1: career ears can provide you in terms of compensation, what

1713
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:05,599
Speaker 1: you can do with that compensation, how you can structure

1714
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 1: your long term you know this kind of like you

1715
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:11,599
Speaker 1: see these commercials, and they've always got these commercials. Everyone

1716
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:13,040
Speaker 1: looks like, oh, we're just hanging out on a beach,

1717
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:14,960
Speaker 1: and they're like we'll take care of your long term investments.

1718
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:18,040
Speaker 1: All these financial management companies, they should be teaching us

1719
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 1: that stuff anyway. And also some of these people that

1720
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:26,479
Speaker 1: are involved in these loan share programs. I think the

1721
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:28,719
Speaker 1: schools are going to find out. I think the schools

1722
01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:30,760
Speaker 1: are gonna find out the hard way that women in

1723
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:33,800
Speaker 1: gender studies doesn't exactly pay well. And now that they're

1724
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:35,800
Speaker 1: going into business with these students, they'll see that. But

1725
01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: we got roll call coming up, Team Buck, It's time

1726
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:51,320
Speaker 1: for roll call. All right, let's look at the latest

1727
01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:53,760
Speaker 1: in roll call. If you want to be a part

1728
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 1: of it, Facebook dot com, slash buck, sextant, send me

1729
01:41:57,360 --> 01:42:00,719
Speaker 1: your thoughts, your ideas, your wants, your knee needs, all

1730
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:06,519
Speaker 1: of the above. Let's get into it, Troy. Right, dude,

1731
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 1: Oss here original Saturday Squad. You have to go grab

1732
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:13,760
Speaker 1: Marie Haarf's interview last night on Martha McCallum show and

1733
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:17,040
Speaker 1: see what an atrocity it was. She was actually arguing

1734
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:19,759
Speaker 1: that helping the Iranian people in their plight actually helps

1735
01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:23,280
Speaker 1: the Mullahs. It was a train wreck, and frankly sad

1736
01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 1: to see Fox News try to pass that off as credible.

1737
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:30,160
Speaker 1: Then right after her is Lindsey Graham and watch what

1738
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:34,840
Speaker 1: he says first Firsthandbuck, It makes a great SoundBite, great

1739
01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:38,599
Speaker 1: for a laugh on tonight's show. Lastly, during last night's show,

1740
01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:41,160
Speaker 1: the radio network kept playing news updates from NBC News

1741
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:44,080
Speaker 1: during the break. I'm with you since the Saturday, but

1742
01:42:44,160 --> 01:42:45,479
Speaker 1: I have to be honest and tell you that I

1743
01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:48,120
Speaker 1: think your audience deserves better than having to sit and

1744
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:50,800
Speaker 1: be forced to listen to such subbar media coverage during

1745
01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:53,599
Speaker 1: commercial breaks. Waiting to hear you again. We are listening

1746
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:54,920
Speaker 1: to you because we don't want to have to listen

1747
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:57,640
Speaker 1: to the MSM. So why is your company forcing us

1748
01:42:57,640 --> 01:43:01,680
Speaker 1: to Troy on the stream? Do we know? Or is

1749
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:04,840
Speaker 1: that on your local station? Because I have no you

1750
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 1: know the local stations, because we're affiliated over one hundred

1751
01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 1: and twenty markets. Local stations can air whatever they want

1752
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:15,000
Speaker 1: to in the breaks. If it's on the stream, I'd

1753
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:17,639
Speaker 1: have to check out and see what's going on there.

1754
01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:21,920
Speaker 1: But I can't speak intelligently to it, obviously, Otherwise I would,

1755
01:43:23,200 --> 01:43:26,400
Speaker 1: at least I'm honest. William writes, Buck, why don't you

1756
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:28,439
Speaker 1: talk about all the missing children in this country in

1757
01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:31,880
Speaker 1: other countries as well? Why don't you ever talk about

1758
01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:37,479
Speaker 1: the child trafficking that is running rampant. Please help these children. Well, William,

1759
01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I just cover what I see in the

1760
01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:42,559
Speaker 1: news cycle and what I think is in any given

1761
01:43:42,640 --> 01:43:46,280
Speaker 1: day top of mind for folks. If there's a particular

1762
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:48,400
Speaker 1: story you think I should be aware of, or if

1763
01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:52,120
Speaker 1: there's a narrative here that people need need to know,

1764
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 1: by all means, send it to me. But I'm not.

1765
01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 1: I just don't. I'm not not covering it. I just

1766
01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:00,240
Speaker 1: don't know what story you want me to talk about.

1767
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:03,599
Speaker 1: But I do appreciate the thought. Greg right Hey Buck,

1774
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:28,439
Speaker 1: make it, Delaware is not that far away. Sounds great,

1775
01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:30,599

1777
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm not in the midst of a live or radio show. Melvin,

1778
01:44:36,800 --> 01:44:39,560
Speaker 1: what's up? Melvin. It's a cool name. I like the

1779
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 1: name Melvin. Hey Buck, I'm at the gym listening to

1780
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:45,519
Speaker 1: CNN and Cooper's interpretation of the released docks is that

1781
01:44:45,560 --> 01:44:48,719
Speaker 1: it supports the Russia investigation. And they showed a CNN

1782
01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:52,160
Speaker 1: reporter trying to interview an angry Devin Neunez. Did you

1783
01:44:52,240 --> 01:44:55,519
Speaker 1: see that? And what do you think Shields high Melvine?

1784
01:44:55,560 --> 01:44:58,400
Speaker 1: I did not see that. I can't say that in

1785
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:03,439
Speaker 1: any way surprises me. And as to Nunez, I can

1786
01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:05,880
Speaker 1: tell you that I'm supposed to be interviewing the man

1787
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:09,639
Speaker 1: myself tomorrow on Rising, so I'll I'm sure be able

1788
01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 1: to get answers to questions you would actually want asked tomorrow,

1789
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 1: So you should check that out. So it's a perfect

1790
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:24,599
Speaker 1: transition there. Next up here, what's Trump's around tweet? Maybe

1791
01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:27,240
Speaker 1: the greatest tweet ever? This is oh from Michael. He's

1792
01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:29,600
Speaker 1: so right to call them out in a very provocative

1793
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 1: and public way. Michael. I have no problem with him

1794
01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:36,360
Speaker 1: calling out the mulas, And I don't really understand why

1795
01:45:36,360 --> 01:45:38,760
Speaker 1: people seem to think it's such a bad idea, you know,

1796
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:40,599
Speaker 1: I mean, it's saying that they're part of the axis

1797
01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:44,960
Speaker 1: of evil. Is that any Is that better than saying

1798
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,920
Speaker 1: that what Trump did? I think that people get so

1799
01:45:47,960 --> 01:45:50,680
Speaker 1: caught up in their Trump's Arrangement syndrome they lose they

1800
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:56,559
Speaker 1: lose some context here. Next up is Alex. You mentioned

1801
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:58,640
Speaker 1: a book a while back and I was trying to

1802
01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:01,080
Speaker 1: read it. I can't remember the title, but I thought

1803
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:03,400
Speaker 1: it was something like the Death of the Gods and

1804
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:06,200
Speaker 1: was about the failure of communism. I could be way

1805
01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:07,840
Speaker 1: off on the name, but I was wondering if you

1806
01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:12,280
Speaker 1: might know what I am looking for. Well, yes, indeed,

1807
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:17,439
Speaker 1: what you're asking about is a compendium of essays from

1808
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 1: former Communists called The God That Failed. So it's a

1809
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:24,600
Speaker 1: book from nineteen forty nine that has six essays that

1810
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:28,400
Speaker 1: are that are brought together by or that are pulled together.

1811
01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:33,920
Speaker 1: And it's from former it's from former communists, some very

1812
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:37,760
Speaker 1: prominent ones at that. And it's also a song by Metallica.

1813
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:41,280
Speaker 1: Those of you who are like exist lie that was

1814
01:46:41,320 --> 01:46:43,400
Speaker 1: the closest I can get to kind of do Metallica

1815
01:46:43,439 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 1: here on the show. But yeah, that's The God That

1816
01:46:47,080 --> 01:46:49,120
Speaker 1: Failed as a song by Metallic as well. But I

1817
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:51,439
Speaker 1: don't know about that song. I do know about the book.

1818
01:46:51,920 --> 01:46:54,000
Speaker 1: It is powerful, and it tells you a lot about

1819
01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:58,600
Speaker 1: communism and why it's so terrible, and all the falsehoods

1820
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:01,680
Speaker 1: and the inhumanity that is the core of communist ideology.

1821
01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:05,920
Speaker 1: I highly recommend the God that Failed. You will be glad.

1822
01:47:05,960 --> 01:47:07,800
Speaker 1: I think you can. I mean, look, I don't know

1823
01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 1: if somebody owns the if someone's estate is getting money

1824
01:47:12,200 --> 01:47:13,680
Speaker 1: from the rights to it or something, but I think

1825
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 1: you can just download a PDF of it online pretty easily.

1826
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:18,360
Speaker 1: It might even be one of those things that on

1827
01:47:18,920 --> 01:47:21,760
Speaker 1: your kindle you can download for free, like I downloaded

1828
01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:26,839
Speaker 1: recently what was it that was free? Treasure Island for free?

1829
01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:28,960
Speaker 1: Never never signed it in school, I felt like I

1830
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 1: should read it. So there's plenty of things. A lot

1831
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:37,320
Speaker 1: of the Penguin classics are available as free kindle downloads.

1832
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:42,320
Speaker 1: Sean Rights, Hey Buck, do you even lift bro? So

1833
01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:44,599
Speaker 1: many things I'd like to comment on, but so little time.

1834
01:47:44,720 --> 01:47:46,960
Speaker 1: I like how your morning show is really rising up

1835
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:50,439
Speaker 1: to its challenge. Crystal, however, seems to keep taking left

1836
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:53,679
Speaker 1: jabs at you while you write the ship's course. Maybe

1837
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:55,880
Speaker 1: parlay with the young lass and ask her to play

1838
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:58,720
Speaker 1: more by the rules, unless banter is par for the

1839
01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:02,200
Speaker 1: course you know, Sean, We're we're a work in progress

1840
01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:07,000
Speaker 1: with rising and I'm always trying to be constructive and

1841
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:12,360
Speaker 1: friendly and additive. That's how I approach it and others.

1842
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:14,040
Speaker 1: Some of you have been listening to this show long

1843
01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 1: enough that you know There's been an extra fire in

1844
01:48:16,479 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 1: my belly since I've been down here in the swamp one.

1845
01:48:18,920 --> 01:48:23,000
Speaker 1: I think because of my proximity to a lot of

1846
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:25,680
Speaker 1: the government stuff that's going on here. Now. I'm right,

1847
01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:27,559
Speaker 1: I'm right near it. You know, I could. I could

1848
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:29,120
Speaker 1: walk from where I am to the White House in

1849
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:32,519
Speaker 1: five minutes. I could walk to the Capitol Building in

1850
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:37,640
Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty minutes. But there's also the sense of

1851
01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:39,679
Speaker 1: freedom that I have when I get on the air

1852
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 1: waves at night and get to talk to all of you.

1853
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:49,360
Speaker 1: So yes, indeed, Bill right, Gutfeld called you Tucker l

1854
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:53,679
Speaker 1: m aoh, yes, Bill, that is a thing that happened.

1855
01:48:54,160 --> 01:48:56,919
Speaker 1: Gutfield did call me Tucker. One's kind of by accident,

1856
01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:58,280
Speaker 1: and then he just leaned into it and called me

1857
01:48:58,320 --> 01:49:02,400
Speaker 1: Tucker again. Brittany writes Buck, I made it to Roll

1858
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:04,559
Speaker 1: Call a few weeks ago, and you totally made my day.

1859
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,519
Speaker 1: I rate your opinion as highly as Russia's thank you

1860
01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:10,639
Speaker 1: for everything you do question. Was there ever an official

1861
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:14,840
Speaker 1: statement put out for why Russia invaded Crimea. Someone suggested

1862
01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:16,920
Speaker 1: they are trying to take back the old Soviet land.

1863
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:20,439
Speaker 1: But I needed to ask you, Shields High, well, Brittany,

1864
01:49:20,600 --> 01:49:25,599
Speaker 1: Russia hasn't really invaded Crimea so much as they put

1865
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:29,719
Speaker 1: up what people believe was a rigged referendum that allowed

1866
01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:33,080
Speaker 1: for a vote in the territory of Crimea, which does

1867
01:49:33,160 --> 01:49:36,760
Speaker 1: have some major Russian naval base and it is also

1868
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:41,080
Speaker 1: very strategically important territory. But that referendum allowed the people

1869
01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:47,880
Speaker 1: of Crimea to go back and join the well, whether

1870
01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:49,400
Speaker 1: it was the people or was the Russian state the

1871
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:51,360
Speaker 1: point people say it was a rigged referendum, but it

1872
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:54,719
Speaker 1: was in Crimea, and they they were the international monitors,

1873
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:57,080
Speaker 1: and people who look at the stuff said they're irregularities,

1874
01:49:57,080 --> 01:50:00,240
Speaker 1: and they're cheating and all kinds of stuff. Ukraine is

1875
01:50:00,240 --> 01:50:05,400
Speaker 1: where you've had Russian paramilitaries essentially involved in a stealth invasion.

1876
01:50:05,479 --> 01:50:08,200
Speaker 1: So that's a bit a little different and a bit

1877
01:50:08,240 --> 01:50:12,160
Speaker 1: more severe, to be sure, And I hope that that

1878
01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:18,759
Speaker 1: for now at least answers the question. Craig writes, good afternoon, guys.

1879
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:25,679
Speaker 1: In response that I say good afternoon, Craig Sean writes,

1880
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 1: buck love the Hillary screech. What if you were to

1881
01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:32,000
Speaker 1: record I should be president or something like that and

1882
01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:34,800
Speaker 1: play it every time HRC comes up in a news

1883
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:39,320
Speaker 1: story or whenever. And two, I live in the live

1884
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:42,000
Speaker 1: free or die state New Hampshire. You should come to

1885
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 1: New Hampshire during presidential primary season for a remote broadcast

1886
01:50:45,439 --> 01:50:48,559
Speaker 1: and interview candidates. Shields high Well, Sean, I actually did that.

1887
01:50:49,439 --> 01:50:52,439
Speaker 1: I went up to New Hampshire interviewed all but Trump

1888
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:57,240
Speaker 1: and Cruise at the New Hampshire primary in the last election.

1889
01:50:57,479 --> 01:51:03,080
Speaker 1: I sat down with Rand Paul Marco Rubio, that guy

1890
01:51:03,200 --> 01:51:08,639
Speaker 1: from Ohio that I do not find particularly persuasive forgetting

1891
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:12,559
Speaker 1: to k sick there you go rhymes with basic and

1892
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:14,840
Speaker 1: yeah everybody else. I'm trying to remember who else was

1893
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:16,559
Speaker 1: even up there for that, but I interviewed a whole

1894
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 1: bunch of them, like six or seven candidates, maybe so

1895
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 1: as it wasn't the full fifteen. I'm trying to think

1896
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:23,160
Speaker 1: of the off the top of my head who else.

1897
01:51:23,200 --> 01:51:24,639
Speaker 1: There were a couple of others, but I can't remember,

1898
01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:26,439
Speaker 1: And that tells you a lot about the Republican field

1899
01:51:26,760 --> 01:51:31,920
Speaker 1: again't remember exactly who they were, so yeah, I'd be

1900
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: happy to go back there though with rising James right

1901
01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:36,960
Speaker 1: looking good on the Greg Gutfeld Show. Keep up the

1902
01:51:36,960 --> 01:51:42,280
Speaker 1: good work. This Cortez lady will destroy New York. Capitalism

1903
01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:45,080
Speaker 1: is good. We were always brought up to earn your

1904
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:46,800
Speaker 1: pay and the things you buy, like a car in

1905
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:48,960
Speaker 1: a house. This shows you work hard for your money.

1906
01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:52,439
Speaker 1: If the liberal socialists want free things, how do you

1907
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:55,519
Speaker 1: value things that you have? Not because you did not

1908
01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:58,400
Speaker 1: earn it, there will be no value. Thanks for taking

1909
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:01,679
Speaker 1: your time listening to your voices. Your shield tie from

1910
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:05,719
Speaker 1: James up in New York. Well, thank you very much

1911
01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:09,240
Speaker 1: James for writing in. I do appreciate it. Good to

01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:11,519
Speaker 1: hear from you. All Right, that's gonna be it for

Speaker 1: a bit more. I'm planning a very special Freedom Hunt

1915
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 1: podcast this week. The plan right now, if we can

1916
01:52:22,200 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 1: make it work, is to have Jesse Kelly and Sean

1917
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:28,880
Speaker 1: Parnell basically come on air. So we're gonna have a

1918
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:31,120
Speaker 1: former Army ranger and a former marine just talk a

1919
01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:32,559
Speaker 1: lot of smack to each other. And I just get

1920
01:52:32,600 --> 01:52:35,760
Speaker 1: to stand there and laugh while they make jokes. So

1921
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:37,600
Speaker 1: that's the plan for later on this week. If you
