The Freedom Hudge another day of media meltdown 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.559 over the possibility that some of their favorite talking heads 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.160 who are part of the anti Trump resistance may have 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:27.080 their clearances revoked. Why should this be a national crisis? 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:31.199 I'll address that also. We know that the deep state 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.600 will continue on no matter what. But what should we 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:38.160 take from the investigation as it goes on and the 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.080 reality and the possibility that there could be a whole 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.560 lot more Folks, We've got a fantastic show coming up. 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.080 This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:52.280 mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.000 Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again, the 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:09.000 Buck Sexton Show begins giving Remember the White House wanted 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.840 to target for this punishment of stripping security clearances, and 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.000 this very much looks like an enemy's list people that 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:19.360 the presidents of the administration feel have been criticizing him unfairly. 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.920 This is really disturbing. What we're seeing is not surprising 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:27.560 because it's the next troubling step on this downward spiral 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:32.120 toward weaponizing and politicizing intelligence for political purposes. It's a 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:36.200 very dangerous day for American democracy. This is the move 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.000 of an autocrat, not an American president. Stripping them of 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.000 their security clearance. That is not what you've seen in 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.240 a democracy. That is exactly what you see in authoritarian 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.000 regimes and an autocratic kind of move. It's the kind 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:50.680 of thing you'd seen of an Anna republic. I mean, 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.520 I find it horrifying. Obviously, welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. 0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:00.720 No surprises, they're my friends. You have people who are 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.360 completely and utterly devoted to this idea that President Trump 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:10.680 is an authoritarian, is a fascist. Even they've decided that 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.280 the President of the United States is not able to 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.440 exercise Article to power without them saying that there's something 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.000 terrible going on. I have yet to read a legal 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.520 analysis out there where they say the president does not 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:29.120 have the right to take away somebody's security clearance. He is, 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:34.680 in fact the superuser, the end user in a sense, 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.120 when it comes to classification, the president is dare I say, 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.760 the alpha and the omega. He's the beginning. In the end, 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.760 he gets the final. Say. The courts have deferred for 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:49.080 a long time to the executive branch on issues of clearances. 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.960 So this is not a civil rights issue, This is 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.480 not a criminal procedure issue. This is just does the 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.200 government want to give you a clearance or not. Does 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:02.320 the executive branch, which has control over secrecy and all 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.080 related classification protocols, do they want to give you a 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.000 clearance or not? And I know people are saying, oh, well, 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.840 it's that's a bad precedent. I understand that there is 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.480 a precedent here that other presidents could use for nefarious purposes. 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.640 But let's put this into context, shall we. How concerned 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:23.000 should we really be that former intel chiefs wouldn't have 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:29.280 their clearances anymore. Also, let's keep this, let's keep it real. 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:31.960 The next president, if it were a Democrat or even 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.479 a Republican that felt differently, could reinstate those clearances or 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.279 could reinstate the And this is where you get into 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:38.800 and I don't want to bore you with too much 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.800 of this, but there's a whole there's eligibility versus access. Right. 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.520 Access is hey, here here's classified information. You are allowed 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.760 to see it. Here it is you are a government 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.000 employee that has a need to know here's your classified information. Right. 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.120 Eligibility is more you know you could get it. You 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.560 know you are cleared to work in a place where 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.720 you can do that. You know you could show up 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.200 a government building if they had a need for you 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:06.520 and have access to classified information. Now that that comes 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.840 into play more for people that leave government service, someone 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.720 like me. For example, if I left the CIA and 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.039 I immediately want to go to another agency, you know 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.720 what happens with my clearance. But what Trump is talking 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.720 about and what has now gone the media, you heard 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.640 all that, Oh he's an autocrat, He's terrible, he's the worst, 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.560 all these all these bad things. What Trump is talking 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:32.640 about are these former senior I mean as seniors a guest, right, 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.719 the DNI, former DNI Clapper, former CIA director Brennan, former 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.359 actor Attorney General Yates. I think Susan Rice was on 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.160 there too. You know, He's got a whole list of 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:49.480 people that just because of some courtesy or some notion 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:54.599 that they are special, they keep not just the eligibility 0:05:54.640 --> 0:06:00.960 of a clearance, but also continued access. They can be 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.279 called and they call them courtesy briefing. So if you 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.240 were the pharmacy I directed, they will bring you in 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.320 for meetings and you can see everything and anything that 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.760 you well that they deemed to show you, right, that 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.760 they deem worthy to show you, are necessary to show you. 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.800 Why is that the case people say, oh Buck, all 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.599 the institutional knowledge. We need. The institutional knowledge. This is 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.920 what I have a fun advantage today, folks. I do 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.200 not know of another radio host anywhere in the country 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.640 who was once a holder of a top seaker clearance. 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.440 There probably are a couple, I just I can't think 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.400 of them, but I am not aware of one who 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.520 ever had a top sea clearance. I did, so I 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.600 have some sense of what goes on here, not just 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.280 from reading about it, but from having to deal with it, 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:46.080 from knowing it. So that is an advantage that will 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.479 hopefully give me a little special something during today's discussion 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.279 of this, because they've made this the biggest this is 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.560 now the centerpiece of hashtag resistance this week. Last week 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.960 it was Trump has destroyed NATO and Helsinki and he's 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.159 Putin's puppet and all this stuff. Nonsense, But that's what 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:06.080 they were saying. This week, it's he's a tyrant and 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.320 he's creating a police state because he's taking the security. 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.720 He hasn't even done it, he just brought up the 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.560 possibility of doing it. I think he's got I don't 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.200 even think he's going to be Honestly, I think I'll 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.800 probably walk away from this because who really cares. Well, 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.640 hold that thought for a moment, Who really cares? When 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:30.240 you have the kind of relationship that former intelligence chiefs 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:37.600 have with news organizations today, given that those news organizations 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.960 are in full tilt doing everything in their power to 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.480 tear down and destroy this presidency, I think it's fair 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:48.600 to ask some questions. How sure are we that these 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.880 people that have no more actual need of a clearance 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:53.600 to do a job because they don't have jobs with 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.400 the government. How sure are we that they are not 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:02.400 abusing or exceeding they're mandated in some way? How certain 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.880 can we be? Senator round Paul, Clearly, it's not sold 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.000 that this is something we can skip over that we 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.720 can assume is not a profit at all. Play clip 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.200 three place. I think there's a great danger to having 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.880 people on television who are speaking off the cuff, who 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.760 are getting classified information. There's a great danger that they 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.200 could reveal something that they shouldn't reveal. And so yes, 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.680 I think this should apply really to most people who retired. 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.000 You know, I'm gonna say this right now. I don't 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:34.120 I don't think that that's really I think that's much 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.480 less the concern that one should have than that they're 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.240 intentionally giving information to the media to think this president. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.520 You know, it's one thing if you're a former Intel 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.840 officer and not forget intel officer, former Intel chief, and 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.480 you're going on TV, you know that you're gonna be 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.280 held to account ats some level for your words. Right 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.960 if you start talking about, you know, all of our 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:59.520 super secret plans to colonize Jupiter, you might get yourself 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.400 into some trol because you know that's not a good idea. 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.160 But if you pass information along and it is referenced 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:11.840 only as a national security source, you know, with the 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.559 close access or who was involved in the matter or whatever, 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.439 and you were the source for news that damages the administration, 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.880 you're probably gonna get away with that. And I have 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.520 never seen in my lifetime what's going on right now 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.680 where you have the people that were just in charge 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.440 of the CIA, just in charge of the Director of 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.559 National Intelligence Office, who are not just speaking out or 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.800 writing the occasional editorial, they are in house talent essentially 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:44.640 for CNN, for NBC. This is the new normal. And 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.160 I'll tell you when I first did this, a meaning 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:48.480 that I made the switch in the media One it 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.960 was an accident, and two it was much less commonplace 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.679 at the time. There were some other people who were 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.720 former CIA. There were some of the people former INTEL 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.240 and I always knew that I had to draw right 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.320 red line between my former work and what I could 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.720 talk about on air, and that I would be held 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:09.800 to account. And I had no expectation that I could 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.160 ever leverage what I only knew because of my time 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:17.200 at the CIA for a news story or anything else. Look, 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.320 I was on air. Here's a perfect example. I was 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.360 on air the night of the Benghazi attack on TV 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:29.080 on cable TV that night without getting the details. There's 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.200 a lot of stuff that I could have said that 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.040 night that I did not because I was I had 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.880 in my obligations in the very front of my mind 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.679 the whole time, and that's still the way that I 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:42.600 approached this. But I will say that when you see 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.720 some of these other folks out there, and I mean 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.120 I've mentioned Brennan did this in particular, they go, well, 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.440 you know, they'll ask him, do you think the president 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.520 that the Russians might have something the president? He'll say, well, 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.960 I know, I was the former CI director, and yes, 0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:00.679 I do think it is certainly possible, imply or giving 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.680 the impression that maybe he does know something because of 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.920 his time at the agency that would obviously be highly 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.959 classified and he won't say what it is. But it 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.600 uses it as a kind of, you know, a secret, 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:18.160 a secret rhetorical weapon against Trump that is unprecedented. I've 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.080 never seen this before. I never thought I would see it, 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.280 and it's all over the place now. In fact, you're 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.760 really you know, you've got all these intel chiefs. You 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.760 get the sense that they're just biding their time before 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.160 they can write books, go to the Aspen Institute and 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.720 appear on CNN a lot that's there. That's now their 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.520 life's work. That's what they want to do with themselves. 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.120 There's an even more important later here though. On the 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.160 one on the one hand, I just find that unseemly, 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.360 and people say, oh, Buck, but you know whatever, Look, 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.360 and it's it's different when you're when you go in, 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.840 you work there for a few years, you come out 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.240 or whatever, ten years, fifteen years, whatever it may be, 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.160 you come out, and overtime also your your knowledge of 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:59.559 any classified fades, so the risks of you even having 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.600 any also over in your mind evaporate with a matter 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.960 of years almost nothing. That's why to go right away 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.440 from being CIA director out into the public sphere that's 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.599 really aggressive. To go right away from being FBI director 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:18.760 to being a hyperpartisan political actor is damaging. Is damaging. 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:20.920 Dare I say to our institutions and to our sense 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:24.200 that we can trust these organizations? And then there's the 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.840 specifics of this moment in time, this case that we 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:32.240 are dealing with here. Not only do we have these 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:36.280 individuals who still hold their clearances and have access if 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.000 they wanted or if they're called upon for their insights 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.040 or whatever, as if we really need, like James Comey 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:45.400 to wax philosophical for us. But these are not just 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.720 individuals who have become very partisan. They are out there 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:55.320 shaping public opinion on a scandal that a number of 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:59.000 them have their fingerprints all over from their time in government. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.679 So you have Clapper and Brannan and Komey and others 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:11.559 who are appearing on TV leveraging the gravitas that they 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.800 have because their most recent title and also the perception 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.199 that they must know everything that's going on and everything 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:19.960 that's so, you know, when you have the most recent 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:26.200 CYI director accusing the sitting president of treason. That's really 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.920 damaging because the public's mind set on this issue is 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:31.480 going to be, well, he's a ci he must know 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.680 something we don't know. That's the whole game they're playing. 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.280 That's what they're up to, and Trump knows it and 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:43.880 he's sick of it. They were not only making this 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.760 case publicly, but they were involved in the construction of 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.280 this narrative from inside of government. They're coming at it 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.640 from both sides. They are all in on tearing down 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.440 this president. So people are really going to tell me 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.240 that the current commander in chief has no prerogative to 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.000 say I'm gonna put an end to this, or at 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.080 least I'm gonna send a message. I'm gonna send a 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.840 message by doing what I am constitutionally empowered to do. 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.959 Trump's not saying they can't spa This is what people say, Oh, 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.880 it's silence saying no, no no, no. He's not saying they 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.040 can't criticize him. He's just saying they don't get to 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:19.600 criticize him and maintain their access that they only have 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.920 because they were political appointees of the previous administration. In 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:26.400 some cases and in others, you say, well, Buck, their life, 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.160 their lifetime civil servants. Well, actually they were leftist the 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.480 whole time. We've just now seen them for who they 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:35.800 really are and all that stuff about you know, mission 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.760 first and honor and duty and somehow in the era 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.440 of Trump, none of that matters. It stopped Trump at 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.560 all costs to give us Hillary. Hello, are these people 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.640 really serious? You know, I have to deal with sanctatomy 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.040 and all the sanctimony from the rest of them, Clapper 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.720 and brennanal because Hillary would have been our great ethical choice, 0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:00.400 the champion of this country and the national security stage 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:05.560 that we also desperately need. These people are unserious, but 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:10.160 they're also dangerous. And I'm glad that the President is 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:14.000 willing to ruffle some feathers and then some And I'm 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:18.280 glad that he is making an issue of this, because 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:23.560 you know, it is disingenuous to say that the media 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.560 having but these guys are. Clapper is terrible on TV. 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.560 I mean, he's gurgling with Gurgan is more articulate. Clapper 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.160 is terrible. Why is he on TV while he's the 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.680 director of National Intelligence? He saw everything his decade is 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.840 a government service. Someone When he says that the president 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.280 is basically destroying the country and a trader, he must 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.680 know something we don't know. That's why these guys are 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.560 also valuable to these networks. That's where they've gotten I'm 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:51.200 sure big contracts as contributors. And it's wrong. It's wrong. 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.840 Remember Bush, for all the bad stuff about the Bush 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.320 administration and the stuff that I would have changed, he didn't, 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.320 you know, he didn't take cheap shots at the Obama 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.160 administration because he thought that there was just that was 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:06.880 just dishonorable. Forget about Obama taking cheap shot of the administrator. 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.040 You got the whole former government national security apparatus taking 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:14.640 cheap shots the Trump administration. It's appalling. It's appalling. Eight 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.880 four four nine two eight two five eight four four 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:22.640 nine hundred buck. We have a fantastic show, so much 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:35.800 more coming your way. Stay with me this next time 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:37.840 had explode, which, by the way, I hope Democrats do 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:41.600 run a democratic socialistation. We don't know, because I think 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.200 you'll lose spectacularly, and then I will look forward to 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:45.880 election night when I finally get to sell everybody I 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:47.720 told just so, if you end up running a radical 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:49.960 problem with socialism in the words of Margaret Thatcher. At 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.000 a certain point, you run out of spending other people's money. 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.040 Venezuela one of the richest countries in the world in 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.560 the seventies. Now the average Venezuela has lost twenty four 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.760 pounds because they're starving. To name one country that socialism 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:05.480 has ever worked. And also, every every democratic socialist was 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.720 going on TV saying that it's good needs to start 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.240 paying ninety percent in tax I think you should start 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.080 paying the amount of taxes that every socialist in this 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:16.560 country thinks you need to. Because if you think the 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.520 government is so good at spending money, look at the vehicle. 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:25.520 Is dangerous. I'm just dangerous. I like it, Megan, Megan 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.960 McCain over there, fired up, all of you dropping dropping 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:33.680 bombs on socialism. I like it. I gotta say, job Megan. Uh. 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.199 This is also a moment where we're having a lot 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.199 of talk about radicals on the left, because you know, 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.520 you've got Alexandria Occagio Cortez, the new darling of the 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:46.320 progressive wing of the Democrat Party, and my old Blaze 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:53.440 colleague Ali Beth's Stucky has made a video of and look, 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.359 it's it's a it's a satire. Right, she clearly cut 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.959 up an interview and pretends to interview her. It's just like, 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:03.359 it's what the Daily Show did four years and Ali 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.920 put this video up. It's a CRTV video on Facebook. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:12.359 It's gotten over a million views, and you've got left 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:17.920 wing politicians and journalists freaking out about the satire video there. 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.320 They are either humorists or they're idiots. They're saying that 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.679 it should be taken down or that it's unfair. You know, 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:29.919 here you go, Shane Goldmocker, this faked interview of Ocazio 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.480 by CRTV as nearly woman interview didn't happen. It takes 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.359 clips from Margaret Hoover show and edits in faux questions, 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.800 not labeled as satire. Well, it's obviously satire, dude, it's not. 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:46.280 It's not. They're not in the same room. And then 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:50.240 and then Okazio Cortez weighs into Republicans are so scared 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:52.879 of me that they're faking videos and presenting them as 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.560 real on Facebook because they can't deal with reality anymore. 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.000 Here's one bona fide truth. Election day is November six. 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.680 Oh no, no, miss Okasi acquatas, we can deal with reality. 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:07.160 People that are still clinging to the notion that socialism 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.720 is going to be a better pathway for this country 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:14.800 than the capitalism that has created unprecedented and almost unbelievable 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.520 wealth and prosperity. Those are the people that I think 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.680 have a reality problem. I want more of this, though. 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:25.720 I want more humorless left wing democrats coming forward to 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:27.800 advocate for why we should have socialism. By the way, 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.520 remember I've told you they'll they point to Norway, they 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.000 point to Sweden, they point to these countries. All right, 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:39.680 the middle class pays massive taxes in those countries. The 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.800 middle class is carrying the burden of the welfare state 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:44.680 that they have in those countries. And by the way, 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:59.720 they're not sustainable. He's holding the line for America. But 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:04.080 Sexton is back. All right. We got some calls coming 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.879 in on the lines, doctor Rick in Maryland with another 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:12.200 diagnosis of America. Doctor Rick. How you doing. Oh, it's 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.639 it's a pretty grim pog This is for the short term, 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.480 at least to a mainstream media. I'm doing good. Hey, um, 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:21.959 I'm going to ask you a question. You know. I 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:25.680 keep waiting for the tipping point on this thing where 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:30.440 the evidence mounts and mounts that there that defies of 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:36.159 warrant was completely unwarranted, and that this is just a 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.120 witch hunt. But it's not happening yet, and they're even 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:43.040 double tripling down. Um. And I was wondering your thoughts of, 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.440 you know, when when is it going to flip, because 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.280 when it does, I think people are going to be 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:51.639 really upset at the mainstream media and how you know 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.280 they weren't getting the proper information. Now I would I 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.520 would say this, there there are uh, doctor Rick, there 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:00.639 are multiple answers to your question. It's kind of like 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.880 a choose your own adventure here, right, So let's assume 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:08.560 let's assume that the Democrats take the House, in which 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:12.320 I know terrible, but let's assume that that happens. Then 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.360 I think we never get any answers because they will 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:19.280 prevent any serious investigation the House from going on, and 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:24.320 we will switch into impeachment mode very quickly, and they'll 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:29.920 be all kinds of just grandstanding and nonsense, just lots 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.000 of nonsense, because they're not going to remove Trump from 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:33.600 office because they're not gonna take the Senate. They're not 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:35.080 gonna have two thirds in the Senate. Even if they 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:37.080 did take the Senate, but there'll be a lot of 0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:40.080 a lot of political grandstanding and just wasted time on 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.439 how you know Trump should be impeached? Why should it 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.520 be impeached? They're not even just because you know, not 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.240 because of Russia collusion. They can't prove that that's not why. 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:51.480 They'll have some other make believe reason why so. But 0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:54.800 let's assume that that doesn't happen. At what point do 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.720 we have a real turning point with the media where 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.800 they no longer will be able to claim that there's 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:06.399 any possibility of this whole Russia collusion farce being on 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.360 the up and up. That's a good question. I think 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:11.359 they're going to be dead enders on this one because 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:13.400 they there's no way they can admit they were wrong 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:18.200 on this without permanently and forever damaging whatever credibility they 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:21.760 have left with people who aren't just complete progressive bots, 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:23.320 you know, who don't just buy it at all, hook 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:28.840 line and sinker. So I think it's h M. I'm 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:30.399 trying to think of what it would take for them 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:32.760 to finally agree because the Muller probe is I've already 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:34.800 I've said this all along. When Mueller doesn't have any 0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:37.720 Russia collusion charges, doctor Rick. You know what they're gonna say, Well, 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.760 he just didn't find them because of all of Trump's obstruction. 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.520 He just didn't find them because of all the you know, 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:48.600 payoffs from Putin to whomever. I mean, they'll make something up. Well, 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:51.960 my hope is in science is there's this theory that 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.920 science doesn't change in a nice, meet upward way. It's 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:59.280 by revolution Coon's theory of revolutions in science, and I'm 0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:02.640 hoping the same thing here that that and maybe we're 0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:04.840 seeing it in this hashtag walk away movement, which I 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:08.520 think is a reality. I think that the reasoned people 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:11.760 are looking at this insanity and just leaving. I think 0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.480 that's why ratings like CNN is in the basement. So 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:18.520 maybe they maybe they'll become irrelevant and the populace will 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:22.560 move past the mouthpieces of my hope. Well, doctor Rick, 0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:25.399 I'm hoping with you. Thank you so much for calling in. 0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:30.400 Good to talk to you as as always. So let's 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:34.000
