1 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The whispers across DC 2 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: get louder with every passing hour that the Mulla report 3 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: could drop as soon as tomorrow. Do we believe them? 4 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: And what would that mean? Plus the border is now 5 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: so overwhelmed that Immigrations and Customs enforcement are having to 6 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: just release families. That's right, let them right through Indian 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: tier of the United States. And also the universal Basic 8 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: income another trojan horse towards socialism. That and more coming 9 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: up on The buck Sexton Show. This is the buck 10 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode 11 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, 12 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: You're a great American Again. The buck Sexton Show begins. 13 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: Analyst remember Bro the VD, he's a great guy. No, 14 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: but I don't alleon no collision. I have no idea 15 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: what it's going to be released. It's interesting that a 16 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: man gets appointed by a deputy. He writes a report. Uh, 17 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: you know, never figured that one out man gets appointed 18 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: by a deputy. He writes a report. I had the 19 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: greatest electoral victory, one of them the history of our country. 20 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: Tremendous success, tens of millions of voters and now somebody's 21 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: going to write a report who never got to vote. 22 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: So we'll see what the report says. Let's see if 23 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: it's fair. I have no idea what it's going to 24 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: be released. Welcome to the buck, Sex and show everybody. 25 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: Great to have you here with me. As always, I'm 26 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: here in the swamp and oh it's feeling swampy. We're 27 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: being told there are whispers all over the place in 28 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: the Hill newsroom my various sources inside the federal government 29 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: that we are, you know, t minus forty eight hours 30 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: from the Muller Report dropping and the Muller Probe, the 31 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: Special Council ending. I do not know if it's true, though, 32 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: because I've been told for weeks now this is about 33 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: to happen, and from people who would know, and they 34 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: keep telling me. When I asked them, hold on a second. 35 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: You told me that this was going to happen. You 36 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: told me that this was about to about to finally 37 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: wrap up, And they say, well, it was, but then 38 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: they moved it back. It was, but then all of 39 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: a sudden there was some reason why they could not 40 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: do it anymore. Be very very interesting to see how 41 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: the different parties here in the biggest political drama really 42 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: in the world for the last two years, certainly in America, 43 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: And I guess you could argue that that means in 44 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: the world how they react to this. And I want 45 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: to know what the White House response will be, because 46 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: they must be chomping at the bit to get to 47 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: just crush all of the liars and the haters and 48 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: the nonsense that's out there and dragging this country through 49 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: this nightmare. And for what we've seen now so much 50 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: that I think years ago Americans would have thought impossible. 51 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: We've seen an FBI that was infiltrated at the highest 52 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: level by deep state partisans who wanted to override the 53 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: will of the American people. We have seen the usage 54 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: of FISA, which when I was in the intelligence community 55 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: that was considered, you know, a highly sensitive tool only 56 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: meant for the most important national security purpose. We've seen 57 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: FISA deployed against Carter Page on a fishing expedition that 58 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: brought nothing. We've seen the abuse of some of the 59 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: most intrusive and sensitive tools that our government has, the 60 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: shredding of the Constitution in the process, all because a 61 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: bunch of people who had worked for government, perhaps for 62 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: too long, thought that Hillary Clinton really really deserved to win, 63 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: and that Donald Trump was a threat to the Republic 64 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: because you know, he writes some snarky tweets and he's 65 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: been married three times or something. I mean, it's not 66 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: even ever really clear. Oh, and they say he's crazy. 67 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: He's a billionaire, he's been wildly successful and he's now president, 68 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: but he's crazy. You know. I saw an interview with McCabe, 69 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: who is so slimy. He just reminds me of these 70 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: guys that I used to work with in the CIA 71 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: who were in the internal security side, and you sit 72 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: down with them and they weren't on your team and 73 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: they were just looking. They were just looking too, as 74 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: we used to say in the business, just to do 75 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: somebody dirty, I mean, just to break him down, ruin 76 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: their career, just get a scalp, because that's how they 77 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: advanced themselves. You know, McCabe is one of these institutionalists, 78 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: you know, he's the he's the the Hall Monitor on steroids. 79 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: The fact that that guy was FBI director acting director 80 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: for a while is is appalling. And he was sitting 81 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: there talking to Bill Maher on the Bill Maher Show, 82 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: who for all my criticisms of mar I will say 83 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: he at least believes in the First Amendment, and liberals 84 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: need to stop being babies and telling people they can't 85 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 1: talk and they can't say anything. I gave him credit 86 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: for that. He's good on that, and he's good on 87 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: radical Islam. He's terrible on everything else, but he is 88 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: good on those two issues. Uh the but but McCabe 89 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: was sitting there and it was just such a kind 90 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: of a mealy mouth pandering interview where you know, Bill Maher, 91 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: who was a believer in the Russian insanity and you know, 92 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: thinks that Donald trum must included with Russia and runs 93 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: with all this stuff, is saying, you know, is it 94 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: possible the Russians? Really? You know, what, did do the 95 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: Russians have something on him? Did they full trade the campaign? 96 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: And McCabe, instead of saying, look, that didn't happen, keeps going, well, 97 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: it's it's possible. You know, at this stage, that's still 98 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: what they're clinging to. It's possible. And when he was 99 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: asked about Hillary Clinton's emails, he just stuck with this 100 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: line that no person would have brought charges against Hillary 101 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: Clinton for that. I'm sorry. There was a guy who 102 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: took a photo on a submarine on his phone that 103 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: nobody saw, and that he deleted anyone. They sent him 104 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: to prison for a year, violation of classification protocols. Right, 105 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is such bull and that 106 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: that McCabe would go on TV and act like there 107 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: was nothing really to the Hillary investigation, and you know, 108 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: and politics didn't play a role in the decision. We're 109 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,679 Speaker 1: not all idiots. We've seen them. They're exposed. And that's 110 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: what I really want to get to. Even if the 111 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: Muller probe goes on for another six months, we know 112 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: who we're dealing with. Now, we know what the other 113 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: side is all about, and we have to reassess at 114 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: some level. We have to adapt, even places where we 115 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: thought that being an American meant something more than just 116 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: petty partisanship. Right, even at those institutions like the Department 117 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: of Justice, where we would really like to believe it's 118 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: not all about d or R, It's about America. That's 119 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: a naive position. Now when there's politics involved, you know 120 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: that you can't trust the other side to respect the institution, 121 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: the process, the law, good faith, goodwill, good sense, none 122 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: of it. Trump understands this he's gonna have a lot, 123 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna have a lot to say about 124 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: Muller in particular Play twelve. I know nothing about it. 125 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: I know that he's conflicted, and I know that his 126 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: best friend is called me it's a bad cop. And 127 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: I know that there are other things. Obviously, you know, 128 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: I had a business transaction with him that I've reported 129 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: many times that people don't talk about. But I had 130 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: a nasty business transaction with him, and other things. I 131 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: know that he put thirteen highly conflicted and you know, 132 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: very angry. I call them angry democrats in so you know, 133 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: so what it is. Now, let's see whether or not 134 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: it's legit. You know better than anybody there's no collusion. 135 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: There was no collusion, there was no obstruction, there was 136 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: no nothing. That's all. I am almost certain that is 137 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: all going to be proven absolutely true in the Muller problem. Mean, 138 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm as certain as you can be without actually having 139 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: the report in your hands and able to read it. 140 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: And that's that's going to be certainly a moment of 141 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: truth for the country, won't We've been waiting for for 142 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: a long time, and with the fact we've been through this, 143 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: I think about all the hours we've spent on this 144 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: show going through the different iterations of you know, the 145 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: Muller investigation here, and they're the people they've prosecuted, you know, 146 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: going after Roger Stone and Papadopoulos, and the hatred and 147 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: the just the bile that they spew at Paul Manaphor 148 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: people calling him a traitor. You know, the guy's you know, 149 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: he's a little a little sleazy in his business dealings, 150 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: but he's not a traitor. He didn't betray his he 151 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: didn't betray his country. People say that are idiots. They 152 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: don't know what they're talking about. The guy just wanted 153 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: to be, you know, even richer than he was and 154 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: didn't pay his taxes. It makes him a tax cheat, 155 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 1: doesn't make him and look, I'll say it a bit, 156 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: a tax cheat doesn't make you a bad guy. It 157 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: makes you a tax cheat. And we got to enforce 158 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: the law. But you know, i'd still have lunch with 159 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: a tax cheat. I would say, oh, I can't, I 160 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: can't even discuss anything with you, sir. I'm appaulled to 161 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: being your very presence. They want him to die in prison. 162 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: I want him to be treated like some kind of 163 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: an animal. You know, in a cage by himself for 164 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: the rest of his days. Guy is seventy years old. 165 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: All this hatred fanned by a wildly, wildly irresponsible media. 166 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: You know, even Ted Copple is like, look the major 167 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: media outlets, they've gone nuts when it comes to Trump. 168 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say. There's Ted Copple 169 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: play for I'm terribly concerned that when you talk about 170 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: the New York Times, cities characters, when you talk about 171 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: the Washington Posts, we're talking about organizations that I believe 172 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: have in fact decided as organizations the dog j Trump 173 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: is bad for the Hub States. Absolutely true. They are 174 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: as organizations CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post. 175 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: They are part of the resistance to this president. They 176 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: are devoted to it. They work tirelessly, effortlessly or well, 177 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: not effortlessly. Tirelessly. Effortlessly would be a different thing. Tirelessly 178 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 1: toward destroying this presidency. If they could help bring down 179 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: his family members and have some of them sent to prison, 180 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: they would. They have no shame whatsoever in how partisan 181 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: they are. And unfortunately, even though we may finally get 182 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: some clarity here on them, all our probe, we may not. 183 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I might be talking about this in a month. Up, 184 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: It's gonna be any day now, any day until you know, 185 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 1: you don't know, you know A done, I don't. But 186 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: there will have to come a time when we realize 187 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: that the media needs to basically be rebuilt from scratch. 188 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: That that's going to occur. I don't know when exactly, 189 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: but we will reach a point in which it's no 190 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: longer possible to vertend that these people are merchants of truth. 191 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: They are. I said it here on this show, and 192 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: I heard it get picked up elsewhere. Not enemies up 193 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: the people, but enemies of the truth. They absolutely are. 194 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: And now as we reach this hopefully latter stage of 195 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: the problem Muller investigation, you have to also do an 196 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: accounting of how successful they've really been. And it pains 197 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: me to say that. It makes me mad to have 198 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: to say that, But think of all the legal fees 199 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: the Times spent not on messaging about the border, about healthcare, 200 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: about growing the economy, about winning the trade dispute with China, 201 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: instead of a media and a republican apparatus focus on 202 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: those issues which could benefit the lives of the people 203 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: in this country. In real ways. We have had to say, no, 204 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: the President's not a Russian trader. No, only crazy people 205 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: believe that the Russians help them steal the election. But unfortunately, 206 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: there are like tens of millions of crazy people running around, 207 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: and there's a very powerful still mainstream media that was 208 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: able to leverage that feeling of sore loserism among the 209 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: pro Hillary and pro Bernie contingents and to weaponize it 210 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: into a kind of mass hysteria. And that mass hysteria 211 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: alone has been an anchor on the Trump administration. It 212 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: has slowed it down. It has made life more difficult 213 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: for Trump and for all those around him. And it's 214 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: just it's a crime for which there will never be justice. 215 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: What was done to Trump is a crime for which 216 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: there will never be justice, and that is disappointing, to 217 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: say the least. Even if this pro bands, I do 218 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: not believe that there will be hell to pay for 219 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: those that will be shown. People like McCabe and Comby 220 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: and who knows who else Rosenstein shown to be political 221 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: players who put themselves in this enter of a food 222 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: fight that they really started and then pretended to have 223 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: nothing to do with, and has done real damage in 224 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: this country to our ability to talk to each other 225 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: about politics, for one, I mean, it's never been more 226 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: heated right now. I mean the left has gone completely insane. 227 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: It's very difficult to speak to anybody who is truly 228 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: a Democrat, true believer about any of this stuff because 229 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: a lot of them have been saying that the president's 230 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: a trader. I mean, how do you have a conversation 231 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: with somebody who believes that. Where is the common ground 232 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: you find with someone who walks around thinking that the 233 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: President United States betrayed his country, sold out his country 234 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: on behalf of Vladimir Putin, CNN, MSNBC, all these places 235 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: where they say that it's just madness. Is the madness 236 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: going to end this week? No? But well we at 237 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: least maybe end one major chapter of it. I certainly 238 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: hope so a team, I cannot make any promises. We 239 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: will discuss the universal basic income this hower. I meant 240 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: to get to that yesterday. Andrew Yang, this kind of 241 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: out of nowhere Democrat presidential hopeful, has made it one 242 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: of his major policy policy proposals, and it's a it's interesting. 243 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying it's a good idea, but 244 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: it's an interesting idea, and it has a lot of 245 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: different facets to it. I meant to get to it yesterday. 246 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: I got so wrapped up in other topics. We didn't 247 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: get to it yesterday. We will get to it um. 248 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: And also we've got some updates on immigration and the 249 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: benefits of rejection. I want to give you a I 250 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: want to rally you to the cause of being rejected. 251 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: That's coming later on the show. Stay with me. I 252 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: don't mind. I mean, frankly, I told the house, if 253 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: you want let him see it again. I say, a 254 00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: deputy because of the fact that the Attorney General didn't 255 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: have the courage to do it himself. A deputy that's 256 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: appointed appoint to another Manda right a report explain that 257 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: because my voters don't get it. Yeah, he's right. You know, 258 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: we've had Annie McCarthy on the show and he said 259 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: that he doesn't even think that the Mueller probe was 260 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: properly constituted. From the beginning, it never established a crime 261 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: that it was investigating. It just said, so people have 262 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: a theory about something that maybe happened, not a crime though, 263 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: just like a theory about Russia doing something maybe and 264 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: let's just look around. It was a counter intelligence investigation 265 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: that took on a life of its own, and counterintelligence 266 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: investigations are supposed to be very clearly confined to the 267 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: national security realm and not a weapon of politics. But 268 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: that's what happened. So yes, I think the Muller Report 269 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: should be made public. I think the people do have 270 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: a right to see. I think we should see what 271 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: is in the Mula report, and that means at least 272 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: the sections of it that aren't going to be heavily redacted. 273 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: I want to see it. And I'm just gonna prepare 274 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: you all for this. Though, no matter what, no matter 275 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: what it says, no matter what is in fact in 276 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: the Mulla Report, Democrats will try to claim some form 277 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: of victory. They'd be like, yes, we are the champions. 278 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: You know it did a great job. They're gonna be 279 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: like the kid that stands up in front of the 280 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: class to recite the poem and only gets out the 281 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: title and then says d end and sits down and 282 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: smiles and thinks that they've done a great job. That 283 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: will be Democrats with the Maula Report. They it doesn't 284 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: matter what's in there, they're gonna claim victory. By the way, 285 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: just because we're having some fun with the Trumpster today. Man, 286 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: here's what he said about Kelly and Conway's husband, which 287 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: it was a pretty it was a pretty wow moment. 288 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: Play thirteen. Well, I don't know him. Yeah, I don't 289 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: know him. He's a whack job, there's no question about it. 290 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: But I really don't know him. I think he's doing 291 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: a tremendous disservice to a wonderful wife. Kelly Anne is 292 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: a wonderful woman, and I call him mister Kelly in 293 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: the fact is that he's doing a tremendous disservice to 294 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: a wife and family. She's a wonderful woman, wonderful woman. 295 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: And Trump, Hey, he's loyal to his people, even if 296 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: it means he gets into a family feud. What can 297 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: I tell you? Universal basic income, it's a very interesting idea. 298 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: It's also a quick bridge to a much larger state 299 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: and to redistribution and socialism. Democrats are putting it out there. 300 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: I think it's going to get traction. Let's talk about 301 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: that and then we'll talk immigration. Stay with me. I'm 302 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: proposing that we declare a dividend of a thousand dollars 303 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: a month for every American adult starting at EGT. That's 304 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: a universal basic income. Yes, proposed the universal basic income, 305 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: which I rebranded the Freedom Dividend because it tests better 306 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: with more Americans with the word freedom in it. A 307 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: universal based income is a policy where every citizen in 308 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: a country it's a certain amount of money, free and 309 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: clear to do whatever they want. So my plan, the 310 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,719 Speaker 1: Freedom Dividend, would give every American adult a thousand dollars 311 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: a month twelve thousand dollars a year is during at 312 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: age eighteen. This would create millions of jobs around the 313 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: country and would allow families and individuals to help manage 314 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: this historic transition that we're in. I believe that every 315 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: American adult at the age of eighteen should get a 316 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month, free and clear from the government 317 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: to do whatever they want. For working hot right, oh, 318 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: for being a citizen of this great country. Universal basic income. Folks, 319 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: you're gonna be hearing more about it. The cool kids 320 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: call it that you be not to be confused with 321 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: ub forty rid rid wine. Yeah, d wine, that was terrible. 322 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: I know that's horrible. Please don't stop listening to the 323 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: radio show. Now, that was youb forty though right, at 324 00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: least I got that correct. Yeah, I like I like 325 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: my UB forty. But UBI universal Basic Income has been 326 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: endorsed by many on the left. It does have some 327 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: interesting support on the right, which I will get to. 328 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: The basics of it are pretty straightforward, instead of just 329 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 1: the welfare state that provides services to people generally, although 330 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,479 Speaker 1: food stamps is really money for food. There as some 331 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: limitations of what you can do with it, but instead 332 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: of a voucher system a thing else, they just straight 333 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: up give you money. A thousand dollars a month was 334 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: the number that Andrew yangmember. He's a Democrat who is 335 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: going to be on the stage, folks. He's going to 336 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: make it onto the initial primary debate stage. He's got 337 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: enough donations and enough support that he's someone you're going 338 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: to hear from. But the idea of the universal basic 339 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: income is that it's just a more efficient way to 340 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: create a safety net for every every person in your country, 341 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: and that it's far less of an onerous bureaucracy than 342 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: which you usually would have with a well with a 343 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: welfare program, which is what this is. Although very quickly 344 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: the UBI can be called the UBI, the UBI will 345 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: be considered an entitlement right that you earn it just 346 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: by being alive, is what people will think. There are 347 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: there are some interesting Oh wait, Mike has the financial 348 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: breakdown on this? Mike, come on, tell me, what are 349 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: you talking about? What do you mean the financial breakdown? So, 350 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: according to the two eighteen US census, there are two 351 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three point eight million citizens over eighteen 352 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: years old. So costwise, that would cost US two one 353 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three point eight billion a month and 354 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: over three trillion a year if he got what he wanted. Yeah, 355 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: see that seems pretty expensive to me. So I think 356 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: what he'd have to do would be it would be 357 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: means tested, so you'd have to have its thousand dollars 358 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: a month if you make under a certain amount of money, 359 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: that's my guess, and they probably have a phase in period, 360 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: so if you make you know, a certain amount, you 361 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: get a five hundred and then it. But you know, 362 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: Alaska has done this for those listed up in Alaska. 363 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: Alaska in fact, does have something similar to a universal 364 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: basic income, where every resident since nineteen eighty two, out 365 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: of oil revenues, has gotten from a few hundred to 366 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: a couple of thousand dollars a year, you know, just 367 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: no strings attached, just kind of handed to people. The 368 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: advocates of the universal basic income will point to Milton 369 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: Friedman and Martin Luther King Junior, for example, as those 370 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: who supported a basic income structure. Peter Teel has supported it, 371 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: and others who are worried about the coming automation revolution 372 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: that's going to create a mass structural unemployment that's not 373 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,479 Speaker 1: gonna that's not going to be able to be placed 374 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: with other jobs. Essentially AI making so many jobs obsolete 375 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: that you're going to have a huge no one knows 376 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: what the number is, but a huge chunk of the 377 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: workforce just permanently out of work, and so you'll need 378 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: to give them some form of income so they can 379 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: buy products and services and keep the economy going. And 380 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: you know, it does have some support on the left 381 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: on the right, and Mike points out that if you 382 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: did this for everybody would be insanely expensive. But even 383 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: if you only did it for a relatively small porch 384 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: of the country, mean, we already have a trillion dollars 385 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: a year welfare state when you add up Medicaid, food stamps. 386 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: You know, a child the health insurance program and all 387 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: all these different Section eight housing. You've got a trillion 388 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: dollars a year welfare state as it is in America. 389 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: We are much closer. And this is kind of a 390 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: sobering thought, but I think I gotta tell you that things, 391 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: even when they're sobering, we are much closer to European 392 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: style welfare state than a lot of people realize. In 393 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: some ways, we're actually further along the road than some 394 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: of these European states are. I've mentioned to you that 395 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: the Nordic states Denmark, Sweden, Norway have more business friendly 396 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: regulations at the federal level in a lot of ways 397 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: than we do. They had lower tax rates at the 398 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: federal level for corporations, not for individuals, than we have 399 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: had at least I think. I think Denmark definitely does. 400 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: Don't quote me on Norway and Sweden until Trump came 401 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: along and past that corporate tax cut. But universal basic 402 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: income is one of these ideas that gets us closer 403 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: to a change relationship between citizen and state. And he's 404 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: going to get more attention is going to get And 405 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: by the way, yeah, he supported Mike is telling me 406 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: that MLK supported a guaranteed minimum income, so you know, 407 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: these are different. The point is people have thought about this. 408 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: It's going to be a much larger piece of the 409 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: Democrat debate, I think than anyone's hearing right now, because 410 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: there's a real sense that the government owes citizens a 411 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: certain standard of living now and that this is the 412 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: this is the best way to do it would just 413 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: be to give people money. And when you're spending a 414 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: trillion dollars a year more than you're taking in an income, 415 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: adding another trillion dollars a year the national debt, people 416 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: start to think, well, at least at least now they'll 417 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: be a lot of money sloshing around. That'll be a 418 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: good thing. But you know, they also say this is 419 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: a way of really creating some kind of a utopia. 420 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: And that's what you got with o'casio Cortez and she's 421 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: saying there'll be more time for art. And you know, 422 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: when AI structurally changes the employment picture in this country 423 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: so that you have people that are that aren't going 424 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: to get jobs ever again, really that aren't really going 425 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: to be able to participate in labor for us. I 426 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: think that's probably exaggerated, but there are certainly people now 427 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: who will say that we are so productive as a 428 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: society that we can have this, and this is just 429 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: the cost of maintaining a robust and healthy society. And 430 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: essentially the very productive you know, the Googles and the 431 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: facebooks and the Walmarts and all these major companies. There's 432 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: so much wealth that is created that to siphon off 433 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: a portion of it to give to people as a 434 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: ubi is a good idea. I understand it. It's easy 435 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: to dismiss this and just say this is, you know, 436 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: comy claptrap and it's not going anywhere. I think that 437 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: this is going to get a lot of serious attention 438 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 1: from Democrats because it's an expansion of the welfare state. 439 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: And then you know what happens. It starts at a thousand, 440 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: and what do you think happens after that? Oh, that's right. 441 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna want to be two thousand a month or 442 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred a month, and then it's just going to 443 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: keep going up and up from there. Once you tell 444 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: every American whether they work or not, whether they try 445 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: to work or not, no matter what age they are, 446 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: I guess as long as they're in Once you tell 447 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: them that the government owes them at check every month, 448 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: free and clear. Then the debate becomes how big should 449 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: that check be? And the people that are reliant on 450 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: that check aren't going to care about the drag on 451 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: the overall economy and productivity. They aren't going to care 452 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: about the change and the relationship between citizen and state. 453 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: They're just going to say, I want that check to 454 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: be bigger. And those people will also go and they'll vote, 455 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: and they'll vote down anybody who says we need to 456 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: get rid of this system. In fact, you know what 457 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: they'll do. This is just like out of Democrat playbook. 458 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: They'll vote for anybody who says, let's make the ubi 459 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: even bigger. This is a trojan horse toward socialism. To 460 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: my friends, you just have to look at it through 461 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: the long term. If they're conservative, if they're Republicans, if 462 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: they're in a certain group, there's discrimination and big discrimination. 463 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: So something's happening with those groups of folks that are 464 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: running Facebook and Google and Twitter, and I do think 465 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: we have to get to the bottom of it. He's right, 466 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: He's right. And at the hill where I work, Donald 467 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: Trump Junior wrote a piece that I wanted to share 468 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: with you on what's going on here with big tech. 469 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: It's titled Conservatives face a Tough fight. A is big 470 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: tech censorship expands and he goes into some of the 471 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: details here that censorship of conservatives, this is es Donald 472 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 1: Trump junior piece in the Hill, becomes evermore flagrant and avert. 473 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: The old arguments about protecting the sanctity of the modern 474 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: public square are now in valid. Our right to freely 475 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: engage in public discourse through speech is undersustained attack, necessitating 476 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: a vigorous defense against the major social media and internet platforms. 477 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: From shadow bands on Facebook and Twitter, to demonetization of 478 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: YouTube videos to pulled ads for Republican candidates at the 479 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: critical junctures of election campaigns. The list of violations against 480 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: the online practices speech of conservatives is long. It's true, 481 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: and finally, it is a situation where we can expect 482 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: there to at least be some honesty in the conversation. 483 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: Right even a year ago, maybe eighteen months ago, they 484 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: would say, oh, there's this is a conservative myth. There's 485 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: no shadow banning. There's no, yes, there is. I know 486 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: people who have been suspended. I know people have been 487 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: shadow banned. And for those of you who don't engage 488 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: in social media in this way and don't really care. 489 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: This is all about This is all about the next generation. 490 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: This is about controlling the narrative today to some degree, 491 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: but even more so in five years and ten years, 492 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: and brainwashing people by determining what they can see without 493 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: letting them even know that editorial decisions are being made. 494 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: In many ways, social media censorship is more pernicious than 495 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: the bias of the big mainstream media because at least 496 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: with the New York Times, yeah, they they they will 497 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: skew it far left, and they're not honest about what 498 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: they do in that regard. And you know, I mean, 499 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: CNN will do fake news, but at least you know 500 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: it's CNN. At least you know it's coming from CNN. 501 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: So you can start from a place of, well, you know, 502 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna take this with a grain of salt because 503 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: we know that CNN is full of it sometimes, right, 504 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: So that's one component of this. But with social media censorship, 505 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: you're just whatever comes into your feed is whatever comes 506 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: into your feed. You know, for a lot of people 507 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: who are not spending their days like I am, just 508 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: researching and going through all the different you know, sources 509 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: and news stories and all the rest of it. And 510 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: you're you're whether you're on Facebook or for those the 511 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: small percentage of this audience because generally speaking, talk radio 512 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: on it is not very active on Twitter. Just let 513 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: you know that, which I'm hoping to start to change, folks. 514 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: Gott gotta get more and more you on Twitter follow 515 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: Buck Sex than on Twitter tweet at me, say hi. 516 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: But that censorship. You don't even know what's happening. So 517 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: you're just assuming that whatever pops into your feet is 518 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: the most the most red story, the most credible source, 519 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: the most you know, the most reliable accounting of events. 520 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: And when that's happening day in and day out, the 521 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: effect of the rutinization of the propaganda is profound. It 522 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: changes the way you think about things. I mean to 523 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: take this like an advertising model. You know, they don't 524 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: have a Coca Cola banner that pops up on your 525 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: computer screen because they think that you're just gonna buy 526 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: You're gonna go right away and buy Coca. Though there's 527 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: some of that direct response advertising on the Internet these days, 528 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: for sure, but generally, I mean, they want Coca Cola 529 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: banners up on places because they want you to see 530 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: Coca cola. Then when you see it again and again 531 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: and again. The idea being when you're in a store, 532 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: when you're thinking about what you're gonna drink, guess what 533 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna drink Coca Cola. Well, if the Internet giants 534 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: can just tweak the algorithms to set them up so 535 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: that left wing sources are going to get higher placement, 536 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: will be treated with you, they'll be a more revered 537 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: source of information than guess what. That's going to have 538 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: an effect on what people read and how they think 539 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: about these issues, and going forward, it's going to alter 540 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: the national conversation on the most important issues to all 541 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: of us. Donald Trump Junior goes on here in this 542 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: piece in the Hill quote, I certainly had my suspicions 543 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: confirmed when Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, accidentally censored 544 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: a post I made regarding the just Smollett hoax, which 545 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: consequently led me led to me hearing from hundreds of 546 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: my followers about they've been having problems seeing, liking, or 547 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: being able to interact with my posts. Many of them 548 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: even claim that they've had to repeatedly refollow me as 549 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: Instagram keeps unfollowing me on their accounts While nothing about 550 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: big tech censorship of conservatives truly surprises me anymore, it's 551 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: still chilling to see the proof for yourself. If it 552 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: can happen to me, the son of the president, with 553 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: millions of followers on social media, just think about how 554 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: bad it must be for conservatives with smaller followings and 555 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: those who don't have the soapbox or media reach to 556 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: push back when they're being targeted. You know that This 557 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: reminds me of how many of us rallied around my 558 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: friend Jesse Kelly when he got banned from Twitter, and 559 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: how the editor in chief of The Daily Caller recently 560 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: was kicked off a Twitter for or suspended for tweeting 561 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: the phrase learn to code. You know what I mean. 562 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: The left, they can whine about this and say it's 563 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: not happening as much they want. It is happening to 564 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: people that I know. And this is so much more 565 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: important than Russian interference in the election. Is liberal collusion 566 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: behind the scenes at the biggest social media platforms to 567 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: alter what people think and for the election, and to 568 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 1: change minds to shape perception. I mean, the only places 569 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: like Google and Facebook and Twitter are really able now 570 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: because of their market share and the power of those platforms. 571 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: They are able to do information operations against the American people, 572 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 1: and they're able to hide it from us very very well. 573 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 1: And their wildly profitable companies making especially Google and Facebook, 574 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: making a tremendous amount of cash billions and billions and 575 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: billions and profits every year. They are the biggest ATM 576 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: machines on the planet in many ways. I mean, the 577 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: only thing that rivals them are the biggest oil companies. 578 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: And they're able to do all this while pretending to 579 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: be platforms for free speech and fair debate and discussion. 580 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: And it's time that we call them to account. It's 581 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: time that we do more to expose the truth here. 582 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: You know that the president is supposed to You know, 583 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: this issue is getting a lot of attention. I believe 584 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: tomorrow the President is going to be signing an executive 585 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: order that tells college campuses that they have to institute 586 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: the First Amendment. You know, we are in the middle 587 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: of a major battle with the social media platforms, with 588 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: college campus censorship, a major battle for the heart and 589 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: soul of the First Amendment and conservatism. To my surprise 590 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: at some level, but it certainly makes me happy. Conservatism 591 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: is rallying here and seems to be rising to the 592 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: challenge somewhat. Because if they can control the conversation, we 593 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: will lose the debate. If they can control the parameters 594 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: and the platforms, we're dumb before we even start. So 595 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: that's why it's important that we fight on this. When 596 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,240 Speaker 1: it comes to buying wine, most people selections have nothing 597 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: to do with taste, you know.

In the Ninth Circuit, in 619 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: contrast to every other circuit in the country, they decide 620 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: to reinterpret the law to say no if they get 621 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: relief from a prisoner or a jail and ice closes 622 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: and finds them that they're required a bond hearing, or 623 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 1: if they would have gotten straight out of jail and 624 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: then our because they wouldn't have got a bond hearing, 625 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit overturned, you know, they put it on 626 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: his head. Supreme Court said, no, we're going to go 627 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: back the way it should be supposed to be. This 628 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: isn't just for every criminal amien out there. This is 629 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: there's a specified type of criminal and an aggravated feelies. 630 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: We're talking about people convicted of serious crimes like rape, murder, 631 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: armed robbie, sexual assault. These people shouldn't be free walking 632 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: our communities anyways. Number one, they're in the country illegally, 633 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: and number two their public safety threat were the Ninth 634 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: Circuit rule on this. We got to put this in context. Now, 635 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: who's in the Ninth Circuit California, Oregon, the state of 636 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: Washington all heavy sanctuary states. These are these are states 637 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: where criminal alians are released out to the public, criminals, 638 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: public safety threats, rather than turning over the ICE. So 639 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: this decision was devastating in these states and made it 640 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: much more dangerous not only for our communities but for 641 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: ICE officers who could have got custy in the jail. 642 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: But now, because of the same sort of city policies, 643 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: they have to locate these people in their community, in 644 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: their homes, on their turf, where they have access to 645 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: who knows what weapons. This is a huge win from 646 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 1: the menum winners. It keeps them a little safer. There's 647 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 1: Tom home and weighing in on what I told you 648 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,919 Speaker 1: about yesterday. Supreme Court saying, no, no rule of law 649 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: still matters when it comes to immigration. You don't get 650 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: to just rewrite it. Ninth Circuit Court of appeals because 651 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 1: you prefer a different outcome. That's not how the law 652 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: is supposed to work. So it's a win. As I said, 653 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: and as Tom says, and I always like to check 654 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: him with Tom whant to see him over at Fox News. 655 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 1: We exchanged thoughts on immigration, and I'm looking forward to 656 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: getting a whole lot of time on the ground in 657 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: El Paso next week. I'm gonna be right there in 658 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: the midst of all this craziness at the border, because 659 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: while we did get a victory from the Supreme Court 660 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: in terms of immigration enforcement and rule of law, the 661 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: system is overwhelmed and it's about to burst. It's just 662 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: in a free fall right now. This is from the 663 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal today. The Trump administration plans to start 664 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: pulling back on a controversial plank of US immigration policy 665 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: in a busy border region, saying Tuesday will stop sending 666 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: some migrant families who illegally cross the border in Texas's 667 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: Rio Grande Valley to jail or Rio Grande? Do we 668 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,879 Speaker 1: say Rio Grande? Yeah? Rio Grande? My bad? The Rio 669 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: grand Which one? Is it? Anybody, Bueller, Brandon, Mike? What 670 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: do we say? Do we say? Grand? Right? This is America, 671 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: the Rio Grande St. Louis or Saint Louis. I don't know. 672 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure that in Texas, who's listening to this is like, fuck, 673 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: you're such a city slicker, get get it together. Well, 674 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: I'll know next week because I'll be down there in 675 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,879 Speaker 1: the valley of the Grand River. Anyway, Starting this week, 676 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 1: hundreds of families caught each day in that area are 677 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 1: being released by border patrol agents instead of being handed 678 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: over to Immigration and Customs and forrestment for potentially longer detention. 679 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: The exact numbers will depend on how many there is 680 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: room for and ice detention facilities, which have filled up 681 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: as a recorded volume of families are crossing the border. 682 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: The officials said they're making the change because of crowding 683 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: and safety concerns. End quote, guys, this is overwhelming the system. 684 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: That is what is going on here. That is explicitly 685 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: and clearly what is happening. They are overwhelming the system. 686 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:40,399 Speaker 1: This is intentional. This is a strategy. They know that 687 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 1: they're because the word gets out. I mean, look, I'm 688 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: reading it out of one of the biggest newspapers in 689 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: the country. The word is out. It travels very fast 690 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: online and you know, you have these different not not 691 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: just within the migrant groups themselves, but you have different 692 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 1: communities of activists and legal aid teams that all they 693 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: want to do is find ways to make sure that 694 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: illegal aliens can stay in America forever, and anyone who 695 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: shows up who's illegal will stay as long as as 696 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 1: as he or she wants to that. That is their purpose. 697 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: And border patrol is at a point now where they're 698 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: just saying, look, we can't continue to even hold them 699 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: on a short term basis down in Texas because we 700 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 1: don't have the facilities for them. We just don't. We're 701 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: not We're not able to do it. They have clearly 702 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: overwhelmed the system. And you know, I've been saying this 703 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: was going to happen. I mean, it's been in the 704 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 1: process of happening. Now here we are where it could 705 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,839 Speaker 1: not be any more obvious that the system is at 706 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 1: a breaking point. And do Democrats have anything, Do they 707 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: have any solutions for this? No, because they're on board 708 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: for this, they are in favor of the current situation. 709 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 1: In fact, here here's a Kirsten Gillibrand just giving it 710 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: away that the plan here the Democrat plan, and this 711 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 1: is the plan to destroy the Republican Party because we'll 712 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: never be able to compete in another election if they 713 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: get their way with this. The Democrat plan is to 714 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:25,839 Speaker 1: legalize and then and then register for benefits and then 715 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 1: register to vote all of the illegals in the country. 716 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: This is This is Kirston Jillibrand when he's not lifting 717 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: her eight pound weights with a with a T shirt on. 718 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: Do you see that? Today? She was trying to do 719 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: the whole I'm hip, look at me do social media. 720 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: Here's what she says about illegal immigration. Play clip one. 721 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 1: So what will I do? I have a lot of ideas. First, 722 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: we need comprehensive immigration reform. If you were in this, 723 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: do you pay into social Security, to pay your taxes, 724 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: to pay into the local school system, and to have 725 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 1: a pathways That must happen. This is one of the 726 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: most oft repeated lies of the amnesty crowd. They say, well, 727 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,839 Speaker 1: we just want to we just want to make them 728 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: legal because then they'll pay into all these programs. Right then, No, no, no, 729 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:24,280 Speaker 1: that's not what's going to Overwhelmingly, illegal immigrants would owe 730 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: nothing in federal income taxes if they were here illegally. 731 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,279 Speaker 1: They don't make enough money, they might pay some you know, 732 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: some taxes along the way, but they would be net beneficiaries. 733 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: In fact, one of the problems that came up with 734 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,800 Speaker 1: the Gang of Eight bill for amnesty, remember Marco Rubio 735 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 1: and those other senators back in the Obama administration, was 736 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:52,799 Speaker 1: that they wanted retroactive tax filing, and illegals under that, 737 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 1: under that system would have been getting a check. They 738 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 1: begetting a check from the government for missing out on 739 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,959 Speaker 1: some of the large ess from Uncle Sam that comes 740 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: to you if you make under a certain amount of 741 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 1: money that they could be that's right, they could be 742 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 1: getting they would be getting paid for having been illegals 743 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 1: here by the government. We have a twenty two trillion 744 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: dollars national debt, all right, that's from the Americans that 745 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,240 Speaker 1: are already here from assistant that we have the spending 746 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 1: that we've done, mostly entitlement spending, some war spending to 747 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 1: twenty two trillion dollars. You think bringing in more people 748 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: who are much more likely as a percentage of the 749 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:41,760 Speaker 1: general population to be reliant upon welfare benefits about fifty percent. 750 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: And by the way, the people will say that I 751 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: legal Limrans don't get welfare that they're all They just 752 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 1: it's so hard. There's so many lives, Yes, they do. 753 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 1: All there has to be is one. If there's a 754 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 1: household headed by the run by an a legal limerrant, 755 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 1: but there's one child that is born in the States 756 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: who's a citizen, then everybody else the household is going 757 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 1: to benefit from the bet from the welfare payments to 758 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: that child as as a citizen child in this country. 759 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 1: So and and and they the adult in charge of 760 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 1: them gets to apply for it. And there's a whole system. 761 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:19,839 Speaker 1: It's just scam after scam after scam, and then all 762 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: the lines around it. But with the system overwhelmed the 763 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: way that it is, the Democrats have no incentive to 764 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 1: try to change anything. In fact, I think a fourth 765 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: a fourth illegal alien in custody just passed away, just died. 766 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 1: And do you know what that's going to turn into. Um, 767 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:47,280 Speaker 1: that's going to turn into a rallying cry for people 768 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 1: who are upset at how Immigrations and Customs Enforcement handles 769 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: those that are in their custody. They're going to say, oh, 770 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 1: it's terrible. You remember you had former your government officials 771 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: like Mike Hayden used to be my boss, the CIA 772 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: comparing our border patrol, immigrations and customs enforcement agents to Nazis. 773 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 1: And remember abolish ice. That was just last summer. So 774 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: now that you've had another person died, they're showing up 775 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 1: in mass Our system is not meant to handle this. 776 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,319 Speaker 1: They know that, and they're showing up in these very 777 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,360 Speaker 1: large numbers specifically because they know that they can't be processed. 778 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: But because they can't be processed, then they also can't 779 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:33,359 Speaker 1: necessarily be given entirely adequate medical screening and medical care 780 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 1: right away, because it's not the Red Cross on the border, 781 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: it's border patrol. But we're gonna be told, oh, they're 782 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: so nasty and they're terrible, and how could they do 783 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 1: this and all this other stuff. That's what they're gonna say, 784 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: and it's just going to be an emotional argument, bereft 785 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 1: of reason. Don't you just love it when you find 786 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 1: a one hundred dollar bill inside a jacket you haven't 787 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: used for ages. It's an incredible feeling.

There will be some who will say 808 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 1: that the SAW stems from climate change, but the truth 809 00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,839 Speaker 1: is that the water challenges have been around for generations 810 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 1: and are causing immediate deaths annually. Areas of the world 811 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,760 Speaker 1: have struggled with water availability for centuries and these struggles 812 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:15,560 Speaker 1: are due to access, geography, infrastructure, and technology or lack thereof. 813 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: That's EPA chief Wheeler Andrew Wheeler, who has said, and 814 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 1: this is of course getting the environmental is completely freaked out, 815 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 1: said today in a testimony that water quality around the 816 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 1: world is a much bigger crisis than climate change. And 817 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,280 Speaker 1: this comes when we're all supposed to be so focused 818 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: on the Green New Deal, right, the big trojan horse 819 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 1: for socialism, the Green New Deal has people talking about 820 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:53,279 Speaker 1: changing out all fossil fuels and dramatically shifting how we 821 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:58,160 Speaker 1: do things with our economy. Meanwhile, there are other issues, 822 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,360 Speaker 1: and you know, right now you have, for example, the 823 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: flooding in the Midwest, terrible flooding. And you know, do 824 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 1: our friends out in kfab in an Omaha thoughts and 825 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 1: prayers to everybody out in the state of Nebraska. We 826 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,000 Speaker 1: hope you all are doing all right and they're getting 827 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 1: you all the assistance that you need, and that the 828 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: waters are receding. But people are saying that that's climate change, 829 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,360 Speaker 1: and that's just not true. There there have been floods 830 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: for you know, look at the Bible, folks, right, there 831 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,359 Speaker 1: have been floods for as long as people have been 832 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 1: writing in books and longer actually, so you know, flooding 833 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: is just a natural It's a natural disaster in some cases, 834 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 1: but it's a natural cycle that occurs in different parts world. 835 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:44,719 Speaker 1: Always has, always will. And this impulse to point to 836 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 1: every bad thing that happens on our environmental level and 837 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 1: try to blame climate change for it, climate change for 838 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 1: it is just not rooted in logic, reason or facts. 839 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: This is this is an emotional an emotional impulse. It 840 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 1: is driven by the desire that people have to feel 841 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,560 Speaker 1: like they are part of a group that understands this 842 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 1: problem and is taking the proper action on it. But 843 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,839 Speaker 1: you know, the truth is also that while we're so 844 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:18,279 Speaker 1: focused on things like the Green New Deal, there are 845 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,320 Speaker 1: much more important things out there that you know, environmentalists 846 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 1: could be looking at that EPA could be working on 847 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 1: Play seventeen. As the administrator of the USCPA, I believe 848 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: that water issues are the largest and most immediate environmental 849 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,759 Speaker 1: and public health issue affecting the world right now. By 850 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: water issues, I mean primarily clean and safe drinking water, 851 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:50,719 Speaker 1: marine litter, and water infrastructure. It's absolutely true a thousand 852 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,879 Speaker 1: children a day die worldwide because of unsafe drinking water. 853 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,840 Speaker 1: A thousand kids a day are dying. A lot of 854 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 1: them are dying from you know, just bacteria that's very 855 00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,160 Speaker 1: easy to eliminate in a drinking water system, but they 856 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: don't have they don't have access to it, and they 857 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,799 Speaker 1: don't have access to the antibiotics to treat the infections 858 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:16,439 Speaker 1: typhus and cholera and all these different things, all these 859 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:21,359 Speaker 1: water borne illnesses that you can get. Um. He said 860 00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,440 Speaker 1: that most of the threats from climate change are fifty 861 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,040 Speaker 1: to seventy five years out. He's right, yeah, Well, will 862 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 1: there maybe be some additional climate disruptions in fifty to 863 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 1: seventy five years? Yeah, I think that's that sounds that's 864 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:33,280 Speaker 1: not going to be the end of the world. It's 865 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,400 Speaker 1: and I mean this, it is literally not going to 866 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 1: be the end of the world, which some people think 867 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: it is. But you know, this is why for all 868 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 1: the virtue signaling of the climate change obsessed left, there's 869 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:51,440 Speaker 1: a cost to that lunacy. There there are costs to 870 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:56,400 Speaker 1: their insanity, as in, you don't have unlimited resources, unlimited 871 00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:01,359 Speaker 1: time and energy to approach all different minds of problems. 872 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 1: You know. It's it's not like you can just say, 873 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,399 Speaker 1: oh well, there's there's plenty to go around in terms 874 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: of the with the EPA and that the problems that 875 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 1: they can tackle. No, the focus on climate change, the 876 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 1: way that it has consumed a place like the EPA 877 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 1: and all the court fights, and you know, that takes 878 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 1: away from imminent, very real problems about things like drinking 879 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 1: water here in this country. You know, what happened in Flint, 880 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,879 Speaker 1: Michigan is terrible. It is terrible that people were being 881 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 1: effectively poisoned by their drinking water in an American city, 882 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 1: you know, in in our current era there I've I've 883 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 1: read whole a whole study and in depth study of 884 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:50,319 Speaker 1: how the projects and I know we're we're down, We're 885 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 1: on w R Ando in New Orleans, UM. But you 886 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,160 Speaker 1: know the New Orleans some of the New Orleans housing 887 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:03,279 Speaker 1: projects have terrible lead contamination problems, you know, and those 888 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 1: have long lasting ramifications for kids who are drinking that 889 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 1: in their water. And you know, it's it's bad for 890 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,360 Speaker 1: the it's bad for the kids. It's bad for the 891 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,640 Speaker 1: kids kids. And that's happening in this country. You know, 892 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,919 Speaker 1: I think one place where conservatives can make a lot 893 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 1: of headways to say you know, can you stop with 894 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 1: your old climate change closes, forest fires and all this 895 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:25,480 Speaker 1: other nonsense, because there's there's a real need for conservation, 896 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,719 Speaker 1: there's a real need for clean drinking water. I mean, 897 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm all for clean air, clean water. You know, I 898 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,440 Speaker 1: do not want pollution. I just don't buy into this 899 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 1: catastrophist vision of the world coming to an end because 900 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 1: of CO two, which is a tiny percentage of atmospheric 901 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: gas to begin with, and is a naturally occurring and 902 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,840 Speaker 1: necessary gas. It's not like we're just it's not like 903 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: we're creating CO two and there was no CO two before. 904 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,800 Speaker 1: But the virtue signaling is not without its own costs, 905 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest single takeaway here. You know, 906 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:06,840 Speaker 1: if liberals were serious about dealing with environmental issues that 907 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,799 Speaker 1: impact people right now today, and if they wanted to 908 00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 1: save lives, if they want to improve lives, they would 909 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,439 Speaker 1: back up a guy like Wheeler at the EPA who's 910 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:20,480 Speaker 1: saying that clean drinking water is the biggest single crisis 911 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,919 Speaker 1: because people are dying from not having clean drinking water 912 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,839 Speaker 1: all of the world, and they're getting very sick. And 913 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:30,960 Speaker 1: over the long term, you could say some are some 914 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 1: are dying in this country because of that issue. And 915 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,759 Speaker 1: you know, this is really one of the marks of 916 00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,920 Speaker 1: civilization as I see them, in the marks of civilization 917 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 1: that you can always you always know what kind of 918 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,440 Speaker 1: country you're dealing with based on two things. You know, 919 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:48,839 Speaker 1: you know one of them. I always tell you how 920 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 1: does a country deal with its trash? And then also 921 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:57,839 Speaker 1: can you drink the water? If a nation state has 922 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,400 Speaker 1: clean streets for them most part, I'm everyplace has, you know, 923 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 1: trash dumps here and there, and but but if a 924 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:08,560 Speaker 1: nation state deals well with its refuse and you can 925 00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 1: drink the water out of the tap, you're you're you're 926 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,840 Speaker 1: in an advanced country. I mean, it's it's it's fool proof, basically, 927 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:20,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you're in a sophisticated, well off, and well 928 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 1: ordered nation state. If there's trash everywhere and you can't 929 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 1: drink the water, you got problems. You got problems. And 930 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,919 Speaker 1: given the technology that exists and the global wealth that's 931 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,919 Speaker 1: out there, there should be fewer and fewer countries that 932 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 1: have filth all over the streets and filthy water that 933 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,719 Speaker 1: little kids are drinking. But we're not making as much 934 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,360 Speaker 1: progress on this as we can notice how the EPA 935 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,960 Speaker 1: director is getting slammed by the left for this because 936 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,560 Speaker 1: they think it takes away from the much more important 937 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 1: threat of climate change, which they're delusional. I mean, they're crazy, 938 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,319 Speaker 1: But that's the problem with dealing crazy peoples. It's hard 939 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,279 Speaker 1: to reason with them. I wouldn't entertain that the only 940 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,400 Speaker 1: reason is that they're doing that as they want to 941 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 1: try and catch up. So if they can't catch up 942 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,560 Speaker 1: through the ballot box by winning an election, they want 943 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 1: to try doing it in a different way. Now, we 944 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,959 Speaker 1: would have no interest in that whatsoever. It will never happen. 945 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,920 Speaker 1: It won't happen. I guarantee it won't happen for six years. 946 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,359 Speaker 1: I think that it's I'm open to the discussion. I mean, 947 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 1: there's no question that the popular vote has been diminished 948 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 1: in terms of making the final decision about who's the 949 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,879 Speaker 1: president of United States, and we need to deal with that. 950 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:29,759 Speaker 1: So I'm open to the discussion. That is where the 951 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 1: Democrats are right now, open to a discussion about kicking 952 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,719 Speaker 1: at the load bearing walls of our governmental system just 953 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 1: to sort of see what happens. And you know, we 954 00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 1: talked about this a little yesterday. I've been thinking more 955 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 1: about it for the last twenty four hours because it 956 00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 1: really is so brazen what they're doing. It's so obvious 957 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,920 Speaker 1: that this is yet another attempt at a power grab. 958 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:58,160 Speaker 1: But it's not likely at all to happen. So why 959 00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,200 Speaker 1: else do they do it? Well, Because here's the real 960 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:04,719 Speaker 1: message of Democrats going out there saying, we need to 961 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,440 Speaker 1: change this system. We need to change these different points 962 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,720 Speaker 1: in the system where we have not gotten our way. 963 00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:15,839 Speaker 1: It's that it's illegitimate when they don't get their way, 964 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 1: and they reinforce this at every turn that the left 965 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 1: believes that when the government does not deliver to them 966 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:29,480 Speaker 1: what they want, it cannot be a function of the 967 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:34,160 Speaker 1: failure of their arguments. It cannot be that maybe they 968 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:41,400 Speaker 1: were wrong. It has to be a systemic failure from 969 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:46,560 Speaker 1: within the system itself. It has to be a shortcoming 970 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:50,800 Speaker 1: of the process. Right, the institutions that they rely on 971 00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:52,680 Speaker 1: need to be reformed so that they can get what 972 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,840 Speaker 1: they want. But it really all does go back to 973 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,920 Speaker 1: this point of illegitimacy as well. They simply do not 974 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:05,560 Speaker 1: accept that outcomes that government outcomes that they disagree with 975 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 1: are something that they should have to live with. You know, 976 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 1: it's never we lost, though they never take the l 977 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,920 Speaker 1: it's never we take that loss. We're going to regroup 978 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,800 Speaker 1: and the next time around will do better. It's we 979 00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 1: need to find a way to make sure that we 980 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 1: have nothing but w's on our scoreboard, even if we 981 00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,160 Speaker 1: have to cheat, even if we have to pay off 982 00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 1: the reps. And that has been pretty pretty open um. 983 00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:33,280 Speaker 1: And I think it's also only possible because not only 984 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:37,320 Speaker 1: do they think that the the system outcomes that they 985 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:41,160 Speaker 1: disagree with are inherently illegitimate, they also think that Donald 986 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:45,080 Speaker 1: Trump is an entirely illegitimate president. And that all ties 987 00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,520 Speaker 1: in as well. You know that the system that presented 988 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,600 Speaker 1: them with Donald Trump as the winner of the election 989 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:54,560 Speaker 1: has to be corrupt, must be reformed, and you know, 990 00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,920 Speaker 1: then you look at the Supreme Court's the same thing. 991 00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,880 Speaker 1: I mean, Drsh that Drsh. We should have him on radio, 992 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,240 Speaker 1: And I've had him on Rising many times, and I 993 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 1: never think to say, hey, pressed Dirsh, do you want 994 00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 1: to come on radio? Although when he does Rising, sometimes 995 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 1: he shows up. He skypes from his office at Harvard, 996 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 1: and sometimes he shows up and he's all like like, 997 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,720 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I'm gonna have my jacket on. He's 998 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,560 Speaker 1: I don't have much time here, and he's very Yeah, 999 00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 1: he's curmudgedly. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie to 1000 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,760 Speaker 1: you guys. He's curmudgingly. But other times he's like, well, 1001 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 1: let's let's have a conversation about the constitution and rule 1002 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 1: of law in this country. Like he's really engaged. So 1003 00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,600 Speaker 1: I never know which dirsh I'm going to get, and 1004 00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:33,480 Speaker 1: when I get the latter one, sometimes like, hey, why 1005 00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 1: don't you come on my radio show? Everyone who does 1006 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:40,640 Speaker 1: rising who's not a complete communist, uh, wants to come 1007 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,000 Speaker 1: on my radio show. So that that's a pretty easy 1008 00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,040 Speaker 1: thing to do. I'll be on. I'm I'm a little 1009 00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 1: uh what's the word, I'm a little selfish with your time. Team. 1010 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 1: I don't I don't like to share the team's time 1011 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 1: very much. As you've noticed. I know there are a 1012 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 1: lot of radio hosts. When I talk to people to 1013 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,720 Speaker 1: say how many how many guests do you have on 1014 00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:00,560 Speaker 1: a day, I say, I'm one maybe or two some days, 1015 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:02,880 Speaker 1: but I like to have it. Some days we have to, 1016 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, we'll have four guest songs. We just feel 1017 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,080 Speaker 1: like having a wide ranging conversation with a bunch of folks, 1018 01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of other days, no guests are any guests. 1019 01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:10,240 Speaker 1: I have so much to talk to you about. There's 1020 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,480 Speaker 1: so much going on the world. So I'm just I'm 1021 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 1: just a different a different cat in that sense. But 1022 01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 1: the Dirsh speaking of a different dude. The Dirsh this 1023 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:25,160 Speaker 1: is what he said about Supreme Court tampering, that the 1024 01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,280 Speaker 1: Democrats are more than flirting with I mean, they're they're 1025 01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 1: really trying to push this idea play five. Well, it's 1026 01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:36,440 Speaker 1: a terrible idea, and it just increases the politicization of 1027 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 1: our highest court. The highest Court is supposed to be 1028 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:43,880 Speaker 1: a neutral, objective, nonpartisan institution. As the Chief Justice has said, 1029 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,960 Speaker 1: there are no Republican justices or Democratic justices. That's really 1030 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,920 Speaker 1: a wish rather than a reality. We the American people, 1031 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:56,520 Speaker 1: have to demand that both parties leave politics out of 1032 01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,200 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. So I think it would probably be 1033 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 1: a good thing to have only nine justices. Every idea 1034 01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 1: seems worse than previous idea, isn't worse than the status quo. 1035 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 1: We may in the end have to just struggle to 1036 01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,280 Speaker 1: maintain the current law, because fixing it may produce more 1037 01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,919 Speaker 1: problems than the problems that currently exist. He's just straight 1038 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:23,439 Speaker 1: up saying it. The plan to pack the Supreme Court 1039 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 1: is a terrible idea, and everybody should understand it's a 1040 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,760 Speaker 1: terrible idea. And that they would even they would even 1041 01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 1: float this out there just shows you. I mean, there's 1042 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,000 Speaker 1: a recklessness right now at the heart of the Democratic Party. 1043 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,800 Speaker 1: There's a recklessness. There's a sense that whatever they have 1044 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 1: to say and do in the moment, they'll do. And 1045 01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,720 Speaker 1: nothing is you know, outside of nothing's outside the realm 1046 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:53,760 Speaker 1: of possibility, whether it's completely reforming critical parts of our 1047 01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 1: constitutional order or changing up the Supreme Court. Who can 1048 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 1: vote in elections fell in sixteen year olds, foreigners, Oh, 1049 01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,439 Speaker 1: just give it time. They're gonna want illegals. They're gonna 1050 01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,960 Speaker 1: want to legals voting folks. I mean, they're gonna try 1051 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,040 Speaker 1: to say that they should legalize them first. But if 1052 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:11,760 Speaker 1: liberals had their way, I mean, this should be a 1053 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,680 Speaker 1: fascinating poll, if you could do it right. You know 1054 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 1: what percentage of Liberals believe that if it could be, 1055 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,520 Speaker 1: if it could be made legal tomorrow, illegal aliens should 1056 01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,480 Speaker 1: be allowed to vote in federal elections. A majority of Democrats, 1057 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, would say yes. And I think I 1058 01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,640 Speaker 1: think seventy to eighty percent of them would say yes. 1059 01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,000 Speaker 1: I think a strong they would. Their claim would be there, 1060 01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 1: They're just people too, They're in our country. They should 1061 01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,960 Speaker 1: have a say in governance. It's the same argument that 1062 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 1: they make at the local level about these these town 1063 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:44,600 Speaker 1: councils or city councils, places like San Francisco school board elections, 1064 01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:49,960 Speaker 1: where they're already saying pretty openly that they think that 1065 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,560 Speaker 1: illegals should vote. I mean, and they've tried to pass 1066 01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,600 Speaker 1: legislation to that effect. One thing we got to keep 1067 01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 1: in mind here is also the economy. I just wanted 1068 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,240 Speaker 1: to get the actually, you know what we don't have? Yeah, 1069 01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,600 Speaker 1: we now, we'dn't have time for that right now. See, 1070 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm running around with too much stuff we'll have to save. 1071 01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,400 Speaker 1: Because here's here's my theory, which I'll dive in. Let 1072 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,320 Speaker 1: me let me use this as a teaser moment which 1073 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,800 Speaker 1: we'll dive into tomorrow. My theory is that if the 1074 01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,520 Speaker 1: economy is strong, Trump wins in twenty twenty, no question. 1075 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 1: If the economy is shaky, it could be close. If 1076 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 1: the economy hits a rough patch, I think you're going 1077 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,280 Speaker 1: to see the rise of socialism in this country, I 1078 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,880 Speaker 1: really do. You're going to see someone who is a socialist, 1079 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 1: perhaps an all button name and maybe with Bernie Sanders 1080 01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,600 Speaker 1: in name as well as an ex president United States. 1081 01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:39,320 Speaker 1: So we have to look at the cyclical nature of 1082 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 1: where the economy is right now, on what the debt 1083 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 1: means for us. But maybe we'll do a little more 1084 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,040 Speaker 1: of that. But that's the outlier that I think you 1085 01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,600 Speaker 1: determine everything. So put a pin in that one team. 1086 01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:55,440 Speaker 1: We will come back to that on tomorrow. Stay tuned. 1087 01:03:56,440 --> 01:04:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm very unhappy that he didn't repeal and replace Obamacare. 1088 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,640 Speaker 1: As you know, he campaigned in repealing and replacing Obamacare 1089 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,840 Speaker 1: for years, and then he got to a vote and 1090 01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,840 Speaker 1: he said thumbs down, and our country would have saved 1091 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 1: a trillion dollars and we would have had great healthcare. 1092 01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,480 Speaker 1: So he campaigned, he told us hours before that he 1093 01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,520 Speaker 1: was going to repeal and replace, and then for some reason, 1094 01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,120 Speaker 1: I think I understand the reason he ended up going 1095 01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,480 Speaker 1: thumbs up. And frankly, had we even known that, I 1096 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:25,960 Speaker 1: think we would have gotten to vote because we could 1097 01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:29,560 Speaker 1: have gotten somebody else. So I think that's disgraceful. Plus 1098 01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,640 Speaker 1: there are other things I was never a fan of 1099 01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 1: John McCain, and I never will be. How pathetic that 1100 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:41,680 Speaker 1: fifty Republican senators have said nothing about this incredibly disgraceful 1101 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 1: performance by the President about John McCain, about their long 1102 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:49,440 Speaker 1: time colleague John McCain. They are all such unbelievable cowards 1103 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:53,600 Speaker 1: because they're afraid of Republican primaries. Yeah, we don't need 1104 01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,640 Speaker 1: to take advice about how to keep our own house 1105 01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 1: clean for the Republicans here and how to tidy up 1106 01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:04,720 Speaker 1: ourselves from Jeffrey Tubin over at CNN. We got it, Thanks, buddy. 1107 01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,000 Speaker 1: We don't We don't need your help. We don't need 1108 01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:10,480 Speaker 1: your help at all. I find this whole. There's a 1109 01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,480 Speaker 1: couple of big stories today that aren't big stories at all, 1110 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,680 Speaker 1: but the media is making them into much bigger things. 1111 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 1: And one of them is this is this ongoing feud 1112 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,280 Speaker 1: with John McCain and President Trump. And now of course 1113 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:25,480 Speaker 1: John McCain's passed away and uh and full disclosure. I mean, 1114 01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a I'm a friend and uh uh and 1115 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,520 Speaker 1: somebody who respects his his daughter. But I'm speaking about 1116 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:36,640 Speaker 1: John McCain now in his professional and legislative capacity, in 1117 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 1: terms of his record and the ongoing situation with President Trump, 1118 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 1: where what I see happening here is that Democrats love 1119 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,600 Speaker 1: Their favorite thing about John McCain is to use him 1120 01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 1: and his own UH disputes with the Republican Party as 1121 01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:58,440 Speaker 1: a club to bludgeon other Republicans with UH. And there's 1122 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:02,880 Speaker 1: this this sense of of a forced homage that you 1123 01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,440 Speaker 1: always have to pay to John McCain as a Republican, 1124 01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,680 Speaker 1: and Democrats like to just wield that as a weapon 1125 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 1: against against individuals. You know, are you are you, you know, 1126 01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:15,320 Speaker 1: saying that his service was not as honorable and of 1127 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:19,640 Speaker 1: course not. But you know, I will note and the 1128 01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:21,560 Speaker 1: veterans here listening, I'd be very curious to know what 1129 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,640 Speaker 1: their opinions are of this John McCain situation. But you know, 1130 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:25,840 Speaker 1: there are a lot there are a lot of people 1131 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 1: that serve very honorably in Vietnam. You know, we have 1132 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,800 Speaker 1: a lot of Vietnam vets who put their lives on 1133 01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,000 Speaker 1: the line, who took bullets, who were wounded, you know, 1134 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,959 Speaker 1: and obviously over fifty thousand didn't even come home. Are 1135 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,560 Speaker 1: they all for the rest of their professional lives in 1136 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,120 Speaker 1: if they're in public life, are they all beyond reproach 1137 01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,960 Speaker 1: for whatever they do. You know, I do think there's 1138 01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 1: a disingenuousness with Democrats where they you know, they know 1139 01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:55,800 Speaker 1: that John McCain was Look, he was an unreliable, unreliable 1140 01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:59,080 Speaker 1: partner with conservatism, there's no question about it, and turned 1141 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:02,440 Speaker 1: his back on conservatism and the right at key points. 1142 01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:04,840 Speaker 1: I mean, McCain find goal was a terrible law that 1143 01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:08,560 Speaker 1: he co sponsored, terrible law, and then at the last 1144 01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 1: minute to abandon his fellow Republicans on the issue of 1145 01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:17,120 Speaker 1: the Obamacare repeal. And I think that that was that 1146 01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:21,440 Speaker 1: was personal spite in place of national level politics and 1147 01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,800 Speaker 1: responsibility to the people of Arizona and to the people 1148 01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,560 Speaker 1: of the United States more broadly. I think that John 1149 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,919 Speaker 1: McCain wanted to wanted to take a slap at President Trump, 1150 01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 1: and he was successful, But at what cost to how 1151 01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:35,720 Speaker 1: many millions of people that were affected by that healthcare decision? 1152 01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,920 Speaker 1: You know, as people now will sit in waiting rooms 1153 01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,000 Speaker 1: wondering if they'll be able to afford the visit, wondering 1154 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:43,640 Speaker 1: if they'll be able to get into the waiting room 1155 01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:45,920 Speaker 1: in time, wondering if they'll be able to afford their medication. 1156 01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:50,919 Speaker 1: All the different problems, all the different shortcomings of our 1157 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,120 Speaker 1: system of medicine in this country. I'm not saying there 1158 01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 1: would have been some cure all with the skinny repeal bill. 1159 01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,479 Speaker 1: It wasn't perfect what they were trying to do, but 1160 01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:03,080 Speaker 1: it would have been better. And McCain stood in the 1161 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 1: way of that. And I think that he did that 1162 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,480 Speaker 1: for personal reasons, and I think that we're absolutely allowed 1163 01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 1: to disagree with him on that. And I don't like this, uh, 1164 01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:17,719 Speaker 1: this forced worship of anyone on policy matters, on matter 1165 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, because of their because of their previous service 1166 01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,200 Speaker 1: to the country. You know, Look, I'm not trying to 1167 01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:26,840 Speaker 1: say that John McCain was a strong man, but you 1168 01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:28,599 Speaker 1: look at a lot of strong men around the globe 1169 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of dictators, and you know, they served 1170 01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,759 Speaker 1: in their militaries, right, I mean, you know, just because 1171 01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,120 Speaker 1: you serve in the military doesn't mean you cannot be 1172 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,160 Speaker 1: criticized on policy matters or what you do after you're 1173 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:42,080 Speaker 1: in the military. And look, Democrats know this. They're just 1174 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:46,040 Speaker 1: they're just playing they're they're they're just playing cynical politics 1175 01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 1: with this by trying to turn Trump and McCain. You know, 1176 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:55,840 Speaker 1: McCain posthumously against him. Now that all said, do I 1177 01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,240 Speaker 1: think that Trump should take the take de bait with 1178 01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,000 Speaker 1: this and and say all the stuff about McCain. No, 1179 01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:05,559 Speaker 1: I think it's a waste. I also think, and this 1180 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,880 Speaker 1: was the other story today that and look, you can 1181 01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:11,280 Speaker 1: tell I'm not a fan of McCain in the legislative 1182 01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:13,840 Speaker 1: side of things at all. I do not think that 1183 01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,799 Speaker 1: as a senator he made a lot of good choices. 1184 01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:18,479 Speaker 1: And I think that his senate campaign, I mean, his 1185 01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:22,160 Speaker 1: presidential campaign was a disaster for the Republican Party that 1186 01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:25,120 Speaker 1: led to eight years of Obama. So I do not 1187 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:28,840 Speaker 1: think that he that his professional life should be on 1188 01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 1: approach at all. I don't think that Trump should get 1189 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,800 Speaker 1: into this, you know, mudslinging. It just doesn't really matter. 1190 01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:37,479 Speaker 1: But look, Trump is who he is, and he's he's 1191 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:39,799 Speaker 1: gonna punch back, and he's not gonna take any guff 1192 01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:42,040 Speaker 1: In case you to know this, he hasn't liked John 1193 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,080 Speaker 1: McCain for the last twenty years. I mean, he's never 1194 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:48,519 Speaker 1: liked this guy. Some people just don't like each other. 1195 01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:50,960 Speaker 1: You may even pick up from listening to the show 1196 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,200 Speaker 1: enough that there are some individuals in media that I 1197 01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:54,880 Speaker 1: just don't like him and they don't like me. We 1198 01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,080 Speaker 1: just don't like each other, you know, and there's not 1199 01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,639 Speaker 1: even necessarily a great reason for it. You know, people, 1200 01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, people are like animals, you know, an animals 1201 01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,400 Speaker 1: sometimes in the wild will kind of you know, the 1202 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,840 Speaker 1: kind of smell each other and decide we're gonna fight this. 1203 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:10,679 Speaker 1: We're gonna fight to the death, you know. And it's 1204 01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,679 Speaker 1: just the way it is. You know. Sometimes the two 1205 01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,960 Speaker 1: tigers just walk past each other silently in the jungle. 1206 01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,920 Speaker 1: Sometimes they fight until one of them bleeds out and 1207 01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:21,800 Speaker 1: the other one slowly bleeds out, you know. I mean, 1208 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:24,559 Speaker 1: that's that's just the that's just nature maybe. I mean, 1209 01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:27,719 Speaker 1: that's just the way that it is. And with people 1210 01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,160 Speaker 1: with massive egos, which I mean John McCain had a 1211 01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 1: huge ego, I mean, make no mistake about it. Is 1212 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,960 Speaker 1: it as big as Drump's probably not, And can you argue, 1213 01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 1: of course, you know, whose ego is more earned? I mean, 1214 01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna go there, um, but this is 1215 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,120 Speaker 1: this is what the Democrats love to hold up John 1216 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:48,680 Speaker 1: McCain because they know that when Republicans, when Republicans say, 1217 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 1: hold on a second, but but McCain didn't do this 1218 01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:52,800 Speaker 1: or that that would have helped us, or McCain was 1219 01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:55,679 Speaker 1: a problem here, they go, oh, you're disrespecting his milit 1220 01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:59,320 Speaker 1: So your Republicans don't really support the military. When we 1221 01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:02,400 Speaker 1: all know that if you had to pick, if you 1222 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,320 Speaker 1: have to pick one political party in this country that 1223 01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,680 Speaker 1: is truly and honestly supportive of the military, it's going 1224 01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:10,840 Speaker 1: to be the Republicans. It's not going to be the 1225 01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:15,480 Speaker 1: code pink far left, who are a bunch of imperialists 1226 01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,400 Speaker 1: and you know, we bomb civilians indiscriminately for no reason 1227 01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,200 Speaker 1: all the time. Democrats, all right, It's going to be 1228 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:24,360 Speaker 1: the Republicans that are the party that supports the military. 1229 01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:27,840 Speaker 1: And although whenever, whenever you say something like this, you'll 1230 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,240 Speaker 1: get the left has a few people in the media 1231 01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,000 Speaker 1: that that you have served in combat roles, and their 1232 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,120 Speaker 1: whole job is to run around and bash anybody who 1233 01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,439 Speaker 1: points out that, you know, there there is a there 1234 01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:43,840 Speaker 1: is a a majority of support in the military for 1235 01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:47,920 Speaker 1: the Republican Party. It's just it's just it's just true. Um. 1236 01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 1: And then you got this other thing, which I don't 1237 01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:51,519 Speaker 1: even know if it's worth it. I know what, I'll 1238 01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,760 Speaker 1: just just a few seconds on this this whole Kelly 1239 01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:58,479 Speaker 1: Ann Conway, George Conway Trump nonsense. What did Trump say 1240 01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:03,200 Speaker 1: about the tweet is pretty is pretty funny. I want 1241 01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:04,680 Speaker 1: to see if I can, if I can pull this 1242 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:08,960 Speaker 1: one up for you, it says, Hold on a second. 1243 01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:13,439 Speaker 1: This is from earlier this morning. George Conway, often referred 1244 01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:16,320 Speaker 1: to as mister Kelly Ann Conway by by those who 1245 01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:19,280 Speaker 1: know him, is very jealous of his wife's success and 1246 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,559 Speaker 1: angry that with her help didn't give that I with 1247 01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,880 Speaker 1: her help, didn't give him the job he's so desperately wanted. 1248 01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:26,439 Speaker 1: I barely know him, but just take a look a 1249 01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:32,240 Speaker 1: stone called loser and a husband from hell. You know again, 1250 01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:34,599 Speaker 1: I don't really see what the point is here other 1251 01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,320 Speaker 1: than they're trying to you know, they know they poked 1252 01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,120 Speaker 1: the present. He's going to slap back. People keep saying 1253 01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,040 Speaker 1: it's so mean that Trump would say this. Why is 1254 01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:46,000 Speaker 1: it okay for George Conway to undermine his wife publicly 1255 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:49,080 Speaker 1: like this by attacking her boss? Does it? The media 1256 01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,240 Speaker 1: never seems to ask that question. So we just Trump 1257 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:55,880 Speaker 1: is intruding on their relationship. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get 1258 01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:57,559 Speaker 1: the game at their playing folks, And you know what 1259 01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:03,360 Speaker 1: we don't like it. Probably familiar with AARP, right, They 1260 01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,600 Speaker 1: got a big office here in DC. I pass it 1261 01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:08,240 Speaker 1: in the swamp and a lot of people are members. Yeah, yeah, 1262 01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:12,280 Speaker 1: guess what. AAARP is a seniors organization that pushes a 1263 01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:16,600 Speaker 1: lot of left wing progressive causes. That's why I recommend AMAC. 1264 01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:21,200 Speaker 1: AMAC is the conservative alternative to the aa ARP. So 1265 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:25,120 Speaker 1: if you're a senior, please join my friends at AMAC. 1266 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,639 Speaker 1: They are pushing for policies that you agree with, and 1267 01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:30,800 Speaker 1: they're making sure that you're part of an organization that's 1268 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:35,040 Speaker 1: going to get you great value, including discounts on car insurance, hotels, 1269 01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,880 Speaker 1: roadside assistants, dental plans, even sell phone service options.

I wouldn't entertain that the 1276 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,000 Speaker 1: only reason is that they're doing that is they want 1277 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,679 Speaker 1: to try and catch up. So if they can't catch 1278 01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,040 Speaker 1: up through the ballot box by winning an election, they 1279 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,000 Speaker 1: want to try doing it in a different way. Now, 1280 01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,120 Speaker 1: we would have no interest in that whatsoever. It will 1281 01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,840 Speaker 1: never happen. It won't happen. I guarantee it won't happen 1282 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:22,360 Speaker 1: for six years. Libs lose and they want to change 1283 01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:27,080 Speaker 1: the rules. That seems to be a widespread phenomenon among 1284 01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:32,800 Speaker 1: the Democrat would be presidential hopeful type. So what does 1285 01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,840 Speaker 1: that tell us about their respect for institutions? Also, what's 1286 01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,639 Speaker 1: going on with the Muller pro pretty much everything. It's 1287 01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:40,600 Speaker 1: kind of a kitchen sync segment we got planned for 1288 01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,559 Speaker 1: you here with my man Sean Davis, who is co 1289 01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:47,519 Speaker 1: founder of the Federalist, also fierce in his Twitter game. 1290 01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,599 Speaker 1: Doesn't let the Libs get away with the nonsense. Sean Davis, 1291 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:52,800 Speaker 1: Great to have you back, sir, great to be here. 1292 01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:56,840 Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. So do liberals not understand 1293 01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,840 Speaker 1: why we have an electoral college? I mean, is it 1294 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,080 Speaker 1: how much of this is driven by ignorance versus how 1295 01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:05,320 Speaker 1: much of this is just the cynicism of we need 1296 01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:06,920 Speaker 1: to we need to rig the game so we can 1297 01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,000 Speaker 1: win next time. I really mean that. Do you think 1298 01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:14,080 Speaker 1: that o'casio Cortez understands why the electoral college exists, for example. No, 1299 01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,640 Speaker 1: I think she's probably trying to get her parents to 1300 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,920 Speaker 1: bribe the Electoral College with like a half a million 1301 01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:25,240 Speaker 1: dollar donation so she can get admitted to it. I 1302 01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:29,880 Speaker 1: hear it's very selective. No. I think the left winners 1303 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 1: care about power. That's all they care about. They don't 1304 01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:36,479 Speaker 1: care about the historical tradition, about the very involved in 1305 01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,240 Speaker 1: deeply thought through debates that the founders had when they 1306 01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:43,040 Speaker 1: established our system of government. They only care about power 1307 01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 1: and their experience with history while they've been alive, you 1308 01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:49,360 Speaker 1: know for the last twenty years or so. Is it 1309 01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 1: electoral college bad because Republicans win sometimes with it, So 1310 01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:55,640 Speaker 1: they've decided that needs to go. We need to get 1311 01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:58,120 Speaker 1: rid of it. We need New York in California picking 1312 01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:00,920 Speaker 1: all the winners in the stupid room in flyover Country 1313 01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,639 Speaker 1: can just deal with it like totalitarian. All they care 1314 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:07,800 Speaker 1: about is the end result, which is accumulating more power. Yep. 1315 01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,880 Speaker 1: It's almost like Sean was listening to the radio show yesterday, 1316 01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,120 Speaker 1: because that's my take on this. Too many they'll rig 1317 01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,360 Speaker 1: the game however they can and feel righteous in doing so, 1318 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:21,599 Speaker 1: whether it's lowering the voting age to sixteen, eliminating the 1319 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 1: Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court. You know, Sean, if 1320 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:29,439 Speaker 1: I had told people a few years ago that the 1321 01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:33,600 Speaker 1: Democrat platform going into twenty twenty would be annihilate the 1322 01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:37,160 Speaker 1: whole system and remake it in our own status image, 1323 01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:40,240 Speaker 1: they would say, Buck, you're being too harsh. Come on, 1324 01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,120 Speaker 1: don't be that guy. But that's actually what's happening. I mean, 1325 01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,719 Speaker 1: they've gone so far left that they're about to topple 1326 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:49,160 Speaker 1: over it is well, and recall that this is a 1327 01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:53,600 Speaker 1: party that has written into its formal official platform the 1328 01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,080 Speaker 1: repeal of the First Amendment because they don't like that 1329 01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:59,720 Speaker 1: Citizens United gives people the ability to band together and 1330 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,680 Speaker 1: of some pool their money and run ads against politicians 1331 01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,720 Speaker 1: they don't like. See, you've got a party that is 1332 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:09,960 Speaker 1: hostile to the foundational amendment of the American idea, which 1333 01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,719 Speaker 1: is the ability to speak and vote and as symbol 1334 01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:14,800 Speaker 1: and worship how you want. They want to get rid 1335 01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:18,200 Speaker 1: of that. We all know they'd knuke the Second Amendment, 1336 01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:20,600 Speaker 1: maybe even literally if they could. Now. They want to 1337 01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,960 Speaker 1: get rid of the way that we've elected presidents in 1338 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,760 Speaker 1: this country for the entirety of their history. But I 1339 01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,360 Speaker 1: can promise you that if for some reason, Donald Trump 1340 01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:33,519 Speaker 1: were to lose the electoral college in twenty twenty, but 1341 01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:38,240 Speaker 1: when the popular vote, they will immediately switch their their 1342 01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:41,840 Speaker 1: rationale to own the electoral college is the greatest thing 1343 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,000 Speaker 1: since ever in all of nineteen eighty four, we have 1344 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,840 Speaker 1: always been at war with East Asia. They will turn 1345 01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,400 Speaker 1: on a dime and pretend they never had the positions 1346 01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:53,439 Speaker 1: that they previously helped. Yeah, they are fond of doing that. 1347 01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,760 Speaker 1: I've seen them do it in many cases, you know, Sean, 1348 01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:59,680 Speaker 1: I think that there's an eerie calm right now and 1349 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,880 Speaker 1: based in DC for those of us who are either 1350 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:08,800 Speaker 1: around politicos or journos, there's a sense of any minute now, 1351 01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:13,040 Speaker 1: the Muller probe is going to come out. Do you 1352 01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:16,360 Speaker 1: have expectations for this thing at this point? Are you in? 1353 01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:19,120 Speaker 1: I mean, we're all in waiting, simo, because we don't know. 1354 01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:24,920 Speaker 1: But I'm very convinced that the plan from the from 1355 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:28,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats, from CNN and the Washington Post is when 1356 01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 1: this report comes out and there's just nothing in it 1357 01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:35,639 Speaker 1: to justify the two years of insanity we've been through, 1358 01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,400 Speaker 1: They're just gonna be like, well, okay, let's get Trump's 1359 01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:41,920 Speaker 1: tax returns it's good. They're gonna act like nothing's happened, right. 1360 01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,960 Speaker 1: I think you're correct, although I'm very skeptical that this 1361 01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,559 Speaker 1: thing will be wrapping up anytime soon. And I've heard 1362 01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:49,880 Speaker 1: all the same rumors. I've read all the same reports. 1363 01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:52,840 Speaker 1: You know, the report is in imminent, it's shutting down 1364 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:56,679 Speaker 1: based on what I've seen from this investigation so far, 1365 01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,799 Speaker 1: which is, uh, you know, rolling up people, lawyers, searching 1366 01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:04,320 Speaker 1: through their stuff, attacking Republicans and putting them in prison 1367 01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:06,880 Speaker 1: for things that we know the Democrats involved in the 1368 01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,800 Speaker 1: same thing did, but they're not being charged. I don't 1369 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:12,320 Speaker 1: have any faith that this moler thing is going to 1370 01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:16,360 Speaker 1: stop until Trump is out of office. That's my personal view. 1371 01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,479 Speaker 1: I'm sticking with it until they prove otherwise because I've 1372 01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:22,400 Speaker 1: I've grown rather tired of this constant drum beat in 1373 01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:24,559 Speaker 1: the media that, oh, it's wrapping up and the report's 1374 01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:26,960 Speaker 1: about to come out. I'll believe it when I see it, 1375 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,200 Speaker 1: and until then, I don't have any interest in it. 1376 01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:31,840 Speaker 1: You know, I was on that train with you until 1377 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,599 Speaker 1: very recently, because I've heard now I'm hearing from people 1378 01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:37,439 Speaker 1: that are that aren't well. I've heard from people in 1379 01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:41,439 Speaker 1: the doj But but they've also told me, yeah, but 1380 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:43,920 Speaker 1: it keeps getting They tell me it's going to be 1381 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:45,439 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. Then a couple of weeks 1382 01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,759 Speaker 1: pass and they say, well, it keeps getting pushed back. 1383 01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:49,920 Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, if it's going to keep getting 1384 01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:52,599 Speaker 1: pushed back every two weeks for the next fifty two weeks, 1385 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 1: that means it's not going to end this year. So 1386 01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,040 Speaker 1: you know, I've I was with you in that and 1387 01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,559 Speaker 1: that until about three months ago, I was saying, I think, 1388 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,680 Speaker 1: including here on the show, that my expectation was that 1389 01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:05,880 Speaker 1: this would drag all the way through until just before 1390 01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:09,200 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election. Well we'll see if these rumors 1391 01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:13,360 Speaker 1: now are true or not. But I gotta tell you, man, 1392 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,240 Speaker 1: at this point, I think that there's going to have 1393 01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:18,439 Speaker 1: to be some kind of a reckoning for people who, 1394 01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:22,479 Speaker 1: at a minimum have been saying that the President United 1395 01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,240 Speaker 1: States committed treason. I mean, the things that we're said 1396 01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 1: on CNN, particularly you know, around a year ago, are 1397 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:30,519 Speaker 1: some of the craziest things I've ever heard said about 1398 01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:34,240 Speaker 1: about anybody, never mind a president, on national television. And 1399 01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:36,000 Speaker 1: I just I don't want to let that go, man. 1400 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to let them get away with it. Oh, 1401 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:40,559 Speaker 1: I'm with you, but I've got some bad news. And 1402 01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,479 Speaker 1: bad news is that there will be no reckoning because 1403 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,759 Speaker 1: half of this country is so bond into this narrative. 1404 01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:50,360 Speaker 1: They're so delusional they are not going to let it go. 1405 01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:54,080 Speaker 1: We're back to you know, circa two thousand and four, 1406 01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:57,559 Speaker 1: two thousand and five Bushlide. People died. Okay, this has 1407 01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:00,479 Speaker 1: become such an article of faith among the left to 1408 01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:05,680 Speaker 1: explain why Saint Hilary loss that they cannot let it 1409 01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:07,320 Speaker 1: go because to let it go would mean that, you 1410 01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:09,200 Speaker 1: know what people actually did want Donald Trump, if you 1411 01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:11,479 Speaker 1: want it fair and square, and Hillary was actually a 1412 01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 1: really crappy candidate. They cannot accept that, so they will 1413 01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,280 Speaker 1: cling to this fiction regardless of what the actual facts 1414 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 1: show us. What of the candidates right now, who do 1415 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,680 Speaker 1: you think is who gives you a little bit of 1416 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,120 Speaker 1: a maybe this person is going to put up a 1417 01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:31,320 Speaker 1: worthy fight against Trump? Any of them? A few of them, 1418 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:36,720 Speaker 1: I think Biden or Sanders. I think Sanders is an 1419 01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:41,559 Speaker 1: especially dangerous opponent from a political perspective because he has 1420 01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:44,120 Speaker 1: a very similar message to Trump, which is that the 1421 01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,360 Speaker 1: game is rigged. You're getting screwed, people are getting rich 1422 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:48,920 Speaker 1: off of you, and I'm going to come in and 1423 01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,040 Speaker 1: fix the problem. Now, they come at it from very 1424 01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:55,040 Speaker 1: different places, with different policy prescriptions to fix that, but 1425 01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:57,680 Speaker 1: they have the same message that's targeted kind of to 1426 01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:02,840 Speaker 1: the same disaffected blue collar Midwestern worker. And so while 1427 01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:05,599 Speaker 1: I think Bernie is cuckoo for Coco puffs, I think 1428 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:10,559 Speaker 1: his brand and his message eats into Trump's base in 1429 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,840 Speaker 1: a way that nobody else really does. And on the 1430 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:18,040 Speaker 1: Beto phenomenon, do you think is he the real deal 1431 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 1: from the perspective of could he could go all the way? 1432 01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:22,719 Speaker 1: Or you think this is a flash in the pants. 1433 01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:24,439 Speaker 1: I mean, he did raise that six million which everyone 1434 01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:28,559 Speaker 1: keeps talking about. Yeah, no, I'm completely bored by Robert 1435 01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,599 Speaker 1: Franciso Rourke. So yeah, everyone's talking about this big fundraising hall. 1436 01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:34,720 Speaker 1: He did well. He spent the last two years fundraising. 1437 01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 1: So when I saw those numbers, I didn't think, Wow, 1438 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,040 Speaker 1: this means so Rourke is a great candidate. I thought, 1439 01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:43,120 Speaker 1: oh wow, he spent like one hundred million dollars building 1440 01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:45,720 Speaker 1: up a pretty good direct mail list. So now I 1441 01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:48,839 Speaker 1: personally think he's a flash in the pan. He's completely 1442 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 1: unimpressive and vapid. But at the same time, I didn't 1443 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:53,800 Speaker 1: think Trump was going to be the nominee and I 1444 01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:55,720 Speaker 1: didn't think he was going to be president. So what 1445 01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,479 Speaker 1: do I know? Yeah, it's very hard and for anyone 1446 01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:01,240 Speaker 1: to make predictions that they can put a lot of 1447 01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:04,080 Speaker 1: ump behind. Considering how many people that I know who 1448 01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:07,320 Speaker 1: think that they are very savvy on political matters, and 1449 01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:10,280 Speaker 1: turns out they are. They were quite wrong on the 1450 01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:13,599 Speaker 1: Trump phenomenal. Look, I didn't see the Trump phenomenon coming. 1451 01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:16,439 Speaker 1: But then again, in retrospect that the idea that that 1452 01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:18,720 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz was going to save the Republic, maybe that 1453 01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,400 Speaker 1: was a little overdone too. So I think some people. 1454 01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:26,000 Speaker 1: What bugs me about coverage now is most people in 1455 01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:29,640 Speaker 1: the punditory business were wrong about twenty sixteen. And what 1456 01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:33,240 Speaker 1: separates them is whether they learned something from being wrong. 1457 01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:34,960 Speaker 1: And what I learned is, you know, I'm not so 1458 01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,320 Speaker 1: great at this prognostication game. I'm not be a lot 1459 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,559 Speaker 1: more humble kind of how I look at it. Unfortunately, CNN, 1460 01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:42,200 Speaker 1: in The Post and The New York Times and others 1461 01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:45,400 Speaker 1: have taken the exact opposite approach, which is they're often wrong, 1462 01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 1: but they're never in doubt Sean Davis.

You can also go to 1487 01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:10,120 Speaker 1: MYGVN dot com. Again, that's MYGVN dot com. Get rejected 1488 01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:15,080 Speaker 1: a lot. That's my advice to anyone out there who 1489 01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:19,599 Speaker 1: is willing to hear it. Get rejected a lot. Learn 1490 01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:23,280 Speaker 1: to take no, Learn to take you're not good enough. 1491 01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:26,280 Speaker 1: Learn to take nobody wants you, or we don't want you, 1492 01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:30,040 Speaker 1: or you're not wanted here, and learn to take it 1493 01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:34,160 Speaker 1: in a way where you grow stronger as a result 1494 01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:38,200 Speaker 1: of that rejection. There's a piece today in NBC News 1495 01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:44,360 Speaker 1: that looks at rejection from an evolutionary biology standpoint. The 1496 01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:48,480 Speaker 1: very basic version of their scientific thesis is that rejection, 1497 01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:53,320 Speaker 1: the feeling of rejection, causes a physiological response that in 1498 01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:57,559 Speaker 1: some ways mimics what you get in the pain centers 1499 01:25:57,600 --> 01:25:59,280 Speaker 1: of the body. So I mean reject. When people say 1500 01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:04,559 Speaker 1: rejection hurts, it actually does hurt. It actually does create 1501 01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:09,400 Speaker 1: a feeling feelings of not just uneased but unwellness, and 1502 01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:11,920 Speaker 1: it can create pain in the gut. It can create 1503 01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:18,920 Speaker 1: a real sense of something terrible having happened, right, And 1504 01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,840 Speaker 1: what we're experiencing now in society is because of all 1505 01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:27,679 Speaker 1: of our connectivity and the constant sorting and resorting and 1506 01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:30,519 Speaker 1: the so called meritocracy that we strive for in some 1507 01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:34,760 Speaker 1: parts of life, we have so many more opportunities now 1508 01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:39,759 Speaker 1: to get rejected than ever before. Rejected when we reach 1509 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:42,240 Speaker 1: out to somebody for a job, rejected when we reach 1510 01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:45,960 Speaker 1: out to somebody electronically, for you know, for a date, 1511 01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:49,080 Speaker 1: for a drink, when we apply to college, when we 1512 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:52,040 Speaker 1: just you name it. There's so many ways. Whereas it 1513 01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:53,840 Speaker 1: used to be that if you were rejected by your 1514 01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:57,439 Speaker 1: peer group, this is the evolutionary biology part of it, 1515 01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:00,800 Speaker 1: you might starve to death because if people didn't trust 1516 01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 1: you and didn't want to be around you, and you 1517 01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:07,240 Speaker 1: didn't have the cooperative hunting going on, you were in 1518 01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,960 Speaker 1: a lot of trouble. Now you're just getting Now it's 1519 01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:13,639 Speaker 1: all psychological. You're bombarded with it. And so this piece 1520 01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:17,280 Speaker 1: tries to lay out a bunch of ways that you 1521 01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:21,040 Speaker 1: can deal with the pain response in the brain from rejection, 1522 01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:24,240 Speaker 1: and it says things like, you know, ask if it 1523 01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:28,640 Speaker 1: really matters, remember a rejection often isn't personal. Choose to 1524 01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:30,800 Speaker 1: assume the best rather than the worst and get back 1525 01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:33,760 Speaker 1: out there. I don't really like the way that they 1526 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,800 Speaker 1: try to set this up because I'm I'm a fan 1527 01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,200 Speaker 1: at this point in my life. A rejection, because you know, 1528 01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:42,760 Speaker 1: a rejection really means means you tried, means you're in 1529 01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:45,760 Speaker 1: the fight, means that as long as you're not being 1530 01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:48,120 Speaker 1: a you know, a lunatic right of it, I'm not suggesting, well, 1531 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,280 Speaker 1: ask her out for coffee and then I ask her 1532 01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,519 Speaker 1: out one hundred more times, because rejection feels so darn good. 1533 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,479 Speaker 1: But whether it's applying for a job, applying for college, 1534 01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,400 Speaker 1: trying to better yourself, and also even this self rejection 1535 01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:03,040 Speaker 1: that you can engage in sometimes you know, the the 1536 01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:06,240 Speaker 1: idea that you will undermine yourself when you try to go, 1537 01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:08,960 Speaker 1: you know, restart working out at the gym, or or 1538 01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,160 Speaker 1: you want to learn a new language and you know 1539 01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,800 Speaker 1: you're going to you're you're automatically not good to want 1540 01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,280 Speaker 1: to do things you're not good at, and there's there 1541 01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,400 Speaker 1: are reasons for that. You know, we all want to 1542 01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:19,880 Speaker 1: do things that we're good at, Like do I want 1543 01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:23,320 Speaker 1: to make scrambled eggs, Yes, because my scrambled eggs are amazing. 1544 01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:28,240 Speaker 1: But do I want to try and learn Chinese starting tomorrow. 1545 01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:30,280 Speaker 1: Probably not, because it's gonna be hard. I'm not going 1546 01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:33,240 Speaker 1: to be good at it, but learning to him, learning 1547 01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:37,120 Speaker 1: when to embrace that and when to view it as 1548 01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:40,120 Speaker 1: almost like the tears in your muscles when you're working out, 1549 01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:42,920 Speaker 1: That's what rejection is. It hurts, but it can really 1550 01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,639 Speaker 1: make you stronger. And I don't believe, by the way, 1551 01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,439 Speaker 1: for the people I say with Niche, you know, what 1552 01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:50,719 Speaker 1: doesn't kill you makes you stronger, it's actually not true. 1553 01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,040 Speaker 1: You know, if you're if you're in a terrible car 1554 01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,320 Speaker 1: accident and you know you lose usage of two limbs, 1555 01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:59,280 Speaker 1: you're not actually stronger even though you're survived. So, you know, 1556 01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:02,080 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's a fair way to view 1557 01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:06,040 Speaker 1: these things. But rejection is something that in modern society 1558 01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,240 Speaker 1: we all have to embrace in our own way and 1559 01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,560 Speaker 1: learned to get past. And I think it's important. I 1560 01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,400 Speaker 1: think it's important for kids to learn I'm a better 1561 01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:19,960 Speaker 1: person because I was rejected from my early decision college choice, 1562 01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:22,080 Speaker 1: which I don't know if I've ever said on the 1563 01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:24,440 Speaker 1: show before, not that I care but it was Princeton University. 1564 01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,680 Speaker 1: They technically deferred me then rejected me. But I was 1565 01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:30,439 Speaker 1: rejected by Princeton, the first school that I wanted to 1566 01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:33,200 Speaker 1: go to and applied to. That was a good thing. 1567 01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:35,760 Speaker 1: It made me think more about who I was and 1568 01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:39,000 Speaker 1: how good of a student am I. But do I 1569 01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:40,840 Speaker 1: really want to go there? Did I just want the name? 1570 01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:44,200 Speaker 1: Was this all just a branding exercise for me? And 1571 01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:47,920 Speaker 1: it also allows you to understand other people who have 1572 01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:51,840 Speaker 1: dealt with getting rejected. I mean, I was rejected from 1573 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:55,360 Speaker 1: the first school I applied for. I was rejected from Gosh, 1574 01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:57,640 Speaker 1: I can't even tell you how many different jobs I 1575 01:29:57,680 --> 01:30:00,439 Speaker 1: applied for. Technically, the CIA was the first job I 1576 01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:02,080 Speaker 1: applied for and I got it. But while I was 1577 01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:04,880 Speaker 1: waiting in case I got some amazing offer, I applied 1578 01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:08,320 Speaker 1: for all kinds of jobs. Rejected, rejected, rejected. I was 1579 01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:11,960 Speaker 1: rejected by the first girl I ever asked asked out. 1580 01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:14,080 Speaker 1: It wasn't really on a date. It was kind of 1581 01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:16,559 Speaker 1: for like, you know, burger and a coke, But it 1582 01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:18,240 Speaker 1: was in the eighth grade and we were at a 1583 01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:20,160 Speaker 1: dance and I asked her if she if she would 1584 01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:21,600 Speaker 1: go out with me, which meant, do you want to 1585 01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:23,800 Speaker 1: go meet up after school and get a burger and 1586 01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:27,360 Speaker 1: a coke? She said, no, straight up, shot down. That's right, 1587 01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:33,040 Speaker 1: Buck got shot down. And you know when someone breaks 1588 01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:36,160 Speaker 1: up with you, when someone doesn't take your application for 1589 01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:38,679 Speaker 1: that job and decide to give you the offer. These 1590 01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:43,080 Speaker 1: all are important experiences because life is a series of 1591 01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:46,280 Speaker 1: getting over rejections. Really, because you don't need to be taught. 1592 01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:48,960 Speaker 1: No one needs to be taught really how to deal 1593 01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:51,479 Speaker 1: with success. I mean people say, oh, I'm so rich 1594 01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:54,320 Speaker 1: and it's hard to head. Yeah. I mean, like in 1595 01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,600 Speaker 1: normal circumstances, you know how to deal with joy, you 1596 01:30:57,680 --> 01:30:59,519 Speaker 1: know how to deal with things going the way you 1597 01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:02,639 Speaker 1: want them too. But the better you can get at rejected. 1598 01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:05,960 Speaker 1: I remember I got rejected my first day of high school. 1599 01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:09,880 Speaker 1: I tried to sit at a table with and I 1600 01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:13,160 Speaker 1: remember thinking like, well, like I've seen enough after school specials, 1601 01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:15,519 Speaker 1: Like it's our first day, it's his first day, it's 1602 01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:18,920 Speaker 1: my first day. He must want to have company, So 1603 01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:21,519 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go sit next to him. Guess what I said? 1604 01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:23,280 Speaker 1: Can I sit here? He was all by himself, this 1605 01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,960 Speaker 1: big kid who later on we did become friends. He 1606 01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:27,600 Speaker 1: said no, you're not allowed to sit there. You're not 1607 01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:30,599 Speaker 1: welcome to sit there. First day of high school, I 1608 01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:33,000 Speaker 1: had no friends in my class. I didn't know anybody, 1609 01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:34,680 Speaker 1: and the first person that I asked to sit with 1610 01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:40,519 Speaker 1: at lunch told me no. So get rejected, Get out there. 1611 01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:42,559 Speaker 1: Whatever it is that you're doing. Don't be a friend, 1612 01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:45,360 Speaker 1: you don't try to be rejected, but never shy away 1613 01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:48,800 Speaker 1: from it. Don't be afraid of it. And understand that 1614 01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:52,400 Speaker 1: every person that you know who is at the top 1615 01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:55,200 Speaker 1: of his or her field, who lead the kind of 1616 01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:57,559 Speaker 1: life that you would want to emulate, has dealt with 1617 01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:01,680 Speaker 1: massive amounts over their lifetime, all added up together of 1618 01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:06,519 Speaker 1: rejection and all of its different varieties. So you view 1619 01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:10,680 Speaker 1: it like the soreness you get from working out, or 1620 01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 1: you know, view it like the fatigue you feel after 1621 01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:15,720 Speaker 1: you've run ten miles. Yeah, your body's breaking down. Your 1622 01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:19,720 Speaker 1: body doesn't really like that, but it gets stronger. And 1623 01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:22,920 Speaker 1: that's one of the most important things. I also see 1624 01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:26,200 Speaker 1: for young people in the everybody gets a trophy generation, 1625 01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:29,719 Speaker 1: which are millennials, not the graybeard millennials like me, we're hardcore, 1626 01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:33,360 Speaker 1: but the younger millennials. They all think that success is 1627 01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:35,720 Speaker 1: measured by never failing. If you've never failed, you're not 1628 01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:38,759 Speaker 1: trying hard enough. If you've never failed, you're not taking 1629 01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:44,479 Speaker 1: enough risks. And evolutionary biology aside, you can learn to 1630 01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:47,280 Speaker 1: deal with rejection of all kinds as long as you 1631 01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:53,240 Speaker 1: know that you've approached your task with honor and with dignity. 1632 01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:56,080 Speaker 1: So I'm a fan of rejection. And that's really what 1633 01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:57,599 Speaker 1: I want to tell you. I think you have to 1634 01:32:57,640 --> 01:33:00,840 Speaker 1: just look at in the eye and say, you know, 1635 01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:03,599 Speaker 1: the check is in the mail. We'll be right back. 1636 01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:06,920 Speaker 1: I have some very important breaking news to share with 1637 01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:08,920 Speaker 1: all of you, but I want to pose it as 1638 01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:12,519 Speaker 1: a question to my colleagues here. Uh, Brandon, we'll start 1639 01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:14,439 Speaker 1: with you. Although it's producer Mike around or is he? 1640 01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:18,920 Speaker 1: Is he socializing?

Plus I'm just a little 1644 01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:28,760 Speaker 1: bitter that everyone listening to the show apparently calls it 1645 01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:30,800 Speaker 1: just to talk to you now, because you know everyone 1646 01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:32,599 Speaker 1: wants to hang out with Mike.

Golden Retriever. 1681 01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:35,760 Speaker 1: By the way, that's the number three.

I think they're they're 1690 01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:01,920 Speaker 1: classific as giant dogs. I mean they're the size of 1691 01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:04,799 Speaker 1: like a Great Dane or and it's only a puppy 1692 01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:07,080 Speaker 1: that's about seven or eight months old. I think at 1693 01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:09,479 Speaker 1: this point I was six or seven months old. But 1694 01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:15,080 Speaker 1: Crystal has three kids who are you know, two years old, 1695 01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:17,759 Speaker 1: five years old, and ten years old. There so something 1696 01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:20,879 Speaker 1: along those lines. And you know, they've got this sweet 1697 01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:24,160 Speaker 1: and Bernie's mound dogs are beautiful dogs. I mean they 1698 01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:27,080 Speaker 1: look like something out of a story book. They're so cute. 1699 01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:28,600 Speaker 1: They're you know, they look like something out of you know, 1700 01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:30,960 Speaker 1: Alice in Wonderland or Peter Pan, although I know Peter 1701 01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:33,360 Speaker 1: Pan's actually a Saint Bernard, but same idea. They're kind 1702 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:36,160 Speaker 1: of Saint Bernard like. But this dog, it's trying to 1703 01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:38,080 Speaker 1: be sweet. It runs around and it just lays the 1704 01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:40,000 Speaker 1: kid out of the kids out apparently all the time 1705 01:36:40,479 --> 01:36:43,880 Speaker 1: because it jumps up with its big paws and knocks 1706 01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:46,200 Speaker 1: them down. And this is where I get into the fierce, 1707 01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:48,880 Speaker 1: the fierce debate with some of my fellow dog lovers 1708 01:36:48,880 --> 01:36:51,280 Speaker 1: out there who are just like a small dogs not 1709 01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:54,120 Speaker 1: a real dog. I'm like, I'm sorry, a dog is 1710 01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:58,080 Speaker 1: a dog. They're all canines, and it's a lot for 1711 01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:00,479 Speaker 1: a lot of like how big is your dog, Mike? 1712 01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:03,799 Speaker 1: What is it? Ten pounds? Fifteen pounds? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1713 01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:05,840 Speaker 1: exactly right in between there, you know. I mean, if 1714 01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:08,000 Speaker 1: your dog gets a little gets a little lippy with you, 1715 01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:09,720 Speaker 1: you know, if it gets a little uh, you know, 1716 01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:11,680 Speaker 1: if his attitude needs improve it, you can just pick 1717 01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:15,559 Speaker 1: him up exactly. You know, my older brother has an 1718 01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:17,920 Speaker 1: adorable dog that he rescued, so no one's allowed to 1719 01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:20,200 Speaker 1: standing bad about rescue dogs because they rescued it from 1720 01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,559 Speaker 1: like an alleyway in Texas. But it's a Pomeranian and 1721 01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:28,320 Speaker 1: he wears a little diaper around the house. That's hilarious. 1722 01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:30,280 Speaker 1: I actually saw it a pet story recently. I didn't 1723 01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:33,200 Speaker 1: know that existed. Yeah, people now, people now. It's it's 1724 01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:35,920 Speaker 1: increasingly common for the smaller dogs that you know, you 1725 01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:37,479 Speaker 1: still need to walk them, and they still need that, 1726 01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:39,080 Speaker 1: but you know, just in case they walk around a 1727 01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:41,920 Speaker 1: little little, a little dipeyon and they go. And I 1728 01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:43,720 Speaker 1: know so many people listening to show are like, I 1729 01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:47,400 Speaker 1: have a Rhodesian ridge back and a German shepherd, and 1730 01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:50,920 Speaker 1: you know they would never look. I love big dogs too, don't. 1731 01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:55,080 Speaker 1: I love all dogs except maybe poodles. I just I can't, 1732 01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:57,000 Speaker 1: I know, And and the poodle owners out there get 1733 01:37:57,040 --> 01:37:59,519 Speaker 1: so mad at me, but I just something about them. 1734 01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:03,200 Speaker 1: I feel like they're judging me. But when you get 1735 01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:05,320 Speaker 1: a smaller dog, it's easier. I mean, Mike, you probably 1736 01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:06,920 Speaker 1: take yours on the subway with you. Do you get 1737 01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:09,479 Speaker 1: one of those little carrying cases for it. I have 1738 01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:11,840 Speaker 1: a bag just so I can sneak him into my 1739 01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 1: office here. So yeah, hopefully nobody's listening, but that you're 1740 01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:20,120 Speaker 1: totally right. It's way easier to carry out, especially when 1741 01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:22,240 Speaker 1: you live in a big city. I take him pretty 1742 01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:24,880 Speaker 1: try to take him everywhere I go, and it's just, yeah, 1743 01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:27,320 Speaker 1: it's way easier. That's where my dream dog is an 1744 01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:30,479 Speaker 1: English bulldog, because just big enough the week and wrestle 1745 01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:32,720 Speaker 1: a little bit, yeah, but but but slow enough and 1746 01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:34,680 Speaker 1: fat enough that like me, he's just gonna want to 1747 01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:36,960 Speaker 1: chill out on the couch and not move and you 1748 01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:39,360 Speaker 1: know we're just gonna be bud. So yeah, that's my plan. 1749 01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:41,280 Speaker 1: That's my struggle right now is getting like a dog 1750 01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:44,400 Speaker 1: to be as lazy as me. The struggle is real, 1751 01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,000 Speaker 1: my man. Speaking of the struggle, you guys know what 1752 01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:50,479 Speaker 1: time it is next roll call time. It's coming up. Well, team, 1753 01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:53,799 Speaker 1: we've got a busy couple of weeks in the Freedom 1754 01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:59,120 Speaker 1: Hut planned. Next week I will be down in El Paso, Texas, 1755 01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:02,760 Speaker 1: visiting with members of Border Patrol and also Immigrations and 1756 01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:07,920 Speaker 1: Customs Enforcement. We'll be getting together some interviews, bringing you 1757 01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:10,080 Speaker 1: ground truth about what's really happening down there. And this 1758 01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:15,479 Speaker 1: will be right before the numbers of inadmissible crossings or 1759 01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:19,920 Speaker 1: at least for the month, and they were projected last 1760 01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:22,479 Speaker 1: month for this month to break one hundred thousand, which 1761 01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:26,000 Speaker 1: would put us on pace for a million for the 1762 01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:29,439 Speaker 1: year if that continued, which would put us at an 1763 01:39:29,479 --> 01:39:33,320 Speaker 1: all time in all time record territory for inadmissible and 1764 01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:36,720 Speaker 1: illegal crossings at our southern border. So I think it's 1765 01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:39,320 Speaker 1: important to get down there and really see and speak 1766 01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:43,640 Speaker 1: the folks on the front lines. That'll be next Thursday 1767 01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:47,200 Speaker 1: and Friday. We'll be doing the show from El Paso 1768 01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:52,600 Speaker 1: next Thursday Friday, I might because of travel timing, I 1769 01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:54,320 Speaker 1: might have to have a sub, but as you know, 1770 01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:56,840 Speaker 1: if we have a sub, it'll be a fantastic one. 1771 01:39:56,880 --> 01:40:02,360 Speaker 1: And then for the following Monday Tuesday, I will be 1772 01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:07,360 Speaker 1: on in Savannah, and I also am thinking I will 1773 01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:11,800 Speaker 1: probably be down in Richmond, Virginia soon as well. So 1774 01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:15,639 Speaker 1: I've got all all kinds of things going on, which 1775 01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:17,439 Speaker 1: doesn't affect the show. I just like to tell you 1776 01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:19,680 Speaker 1: that I'm traveling around places, so you don't think that 1777 01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:21,719 Speaker 1: I'm just stuck here in the swamp and not getting 1778 01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:26,680 Speaker 1: to live life a little bit more. And with that 1779 01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:31,479 Speaker 1: it is time for our role call. Emily writes, Hey, Buck, 1780 01:40:31,520 --> 01:40:34,120 Speaker 1: I heard you mentioned the other day that we should 1781 01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:38,120 Speaker 1: give Twitter a try. Although I am technically a millennial, 1782 01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:40,719 Speaker 1: this was a form of social media I just preferred 1783 01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:43,439 Speaker 1: not to deal with. However, I signed up today. I 1784 01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:46,639 Speaker 1: was blown away by the list of suggested people to follow. 1785 01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:50,360 Speaker 1: It was basically a list of left wing politicians. Hillary 1786 01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:53,800 Speaker 1: Clinton was the third suggestion. The President wasn't even on 1787 01:40:53,840 --> 01:40:56,559 Speaker 1: the list. The amazing thing is that when I selected 1788 01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:59,160 Speaker 1: my interests, I did not even include politics. It was 1789 01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:03,040 Speaker 1: supposed to be and wellness, wow, I even took a 1790 01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:06,040 Speaker 1: little video of the computer screen to prove their complete bias. Anyway, 1791 01:41:06,080 --> 01:41:07,800 Speaker 1: I love your show and I appreciate you keeping it 1792 01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:10,920 Speaker 1: real for those of paying attention. Not all millennials need 1793 01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:14,680 Speaker 1: help tying their shoes shields high. Emily. Well, thank you 1794 01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:17,800 Speaker 1: so much, Emily, and I appreciate that you are willing 1795 01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:21,040 Speaker 1: to give Twitter a shot because I said, it's an 1796 01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:25,000 Speaker 1: important medium these days. So yeah, I'm not surprised at 1797 01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:28,600 Speaker 1: all that you have a lot of left wing suggestions 1798 01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:31,160 Speaker 1: that pop up right away in your feet. That's more 1799 01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:34,639 Speaker 1: or less what I would what I would expect in 1800 01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:39,799 Speaker 1: those kinds of circumstances because Twitter is a left leaning medium. 1801 01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:43,000 Speaker 1: It just is. The people who run it are leftists, 1802 01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:49,120 Speaker 1: the people who overwhelmingly use it are often leftists. I mean, 1803 01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:52,800 Speaker 1: the left has made a very deep burrow into the 1804 01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:58,679 Speaker 1: heart of the Twitter accracy. Martin Rights. Muller was supposed 1805 01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:02,120 Speaker 1: to find Russian collusion and found nothing with Trump. It 1806 01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:04,559 Speaker 1: looks like there was plenty of evidence of Russian collusion 1807 01:42:04,560 --> 01:42:07,360 Speaker 1: with Hillary and the DNC that was ignored and later 1808 01:42:07,439 --> 01:42:11,320 Speaker 1: covered up by Mueller. Isn't that considered obstruction by a 1809 01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:14,639 Speaker 1: bad cop. Well, Martin, I certainly agree with you that 1810 01:42:14,760 --> 01:42:20,120 Speaker 1: Mueller didn't find Russian collusion. As to whether we will 1811 01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:26,519 Speaker 1: hear anything about the obstruction that was, well no, I mean, 1812 01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:29,640 Speaker 1: you're essentially saying that the Russia collusion with Hillary and 1813 01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:33,120 Speaker 1: the DNC was ignored and covered up by Mueller. You know, 1814 01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:35,800 Speaker 1: I don't think we have a legal case really to 1815 01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:39,599 Speaker 1: make there because it falls in the very broad area 1816 01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:43,639 Speaker 1: of the discretion of the bureaucrats involved. So if they're 1817 01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:46,320 Speaker 1: allowed to do something, you know, keep in mind, whatever 1818 01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:49,040 Speaker 1: a cop stops you, the cop can basically say, oh, 1819 01:42:49,120 --> 01:42:50,760 Speaker 1: you were going one hundred and twenty miles an hour, 1820 01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:52,519 Speaker 1: you know what, you look like you're having a rough day, 1821 01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:54,360 Speaker 1: so I'm not I'm not gonna give you a ticket 1822 01:42:54,400 --> 01:42:58,320 Speaker 1: or arrescue. The police generally can't be disciplined for that, 1823 01:42:58,760 --> 01:43:01,040 Speaker 1: at least as far as I know. I know that 1824 01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:03,880 Speaker 1: they have a lot of discretion, and I know for 1825 01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:06,320 Speaker 1: a fact that prosecutors can say, you know what, we're 1826 01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:07,800 Speaker 1: just not going to bring this case. We're not going 1827 01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:10,799 Speaker 1: to bring these charges. And even if it's really unjust 1828 01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:15,120 Speaker 1: for them to not bring charges, there really isn't any 1829 01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:19,920 Speaker 1: disciplinary mechanism in place that would come back to bite them. 1830 01:43:20,680 --> 01:43:26,120 Speaker 1: But thanks for writing in, Martin Keith Rights and he 1831 01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:27,960 Speaker 1: sent me a photo of a whole bunch of cats 1832 01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:34,080 Speaker 1: and it's a cat nip den. Huh. Interesting. I'm pretty 1833 01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:37,960 Speaker 1: sure I was listening to the Joe Rogan Show with 1834 01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:41,920 Speaker 1: Alex Jones, which was a very I rarely have the 1835 01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:44,400 Speaker 1: time to listen to anyone else's shows these days, but 1836 01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:46,840 Speaker 1: that one I had to check it out, and I'm 1837 01:43:46,880 --> 01:43:48,920 Speaker 1: sure I think there was a discussion about like cat ladies, 1838 01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:51,040 Speaker 1: old ladies and like you know, diseases of the brain 1839 01:43:51,120 --> 01:43:54,240 Speaker 1: from the cats, and they really got into it. So 1840 01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:58,600 Speaker 1: that's the thing that happened. Valerie right, still trying to 1841 01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:01,600 Speaker 1: catch up on the podcast. On Monday, Richard made a 1842 01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:04,080 Speaker 1: comment on what is well read? Why not start a 1843 01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:06,720 Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt book club? Each month you would suggest a 1844 01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:09,000 Speaker 1: different book. You could have a history, fiction, economics, and 1845 01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:13,599 Speaker 1: world affairs rotation. Well, Valorie, know, I like to think 1846 01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:16,959 Speaker 1: that this radio show in a sense is a book club, 1847 01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:22,840 Speaker 1: because it's a I constantly I'm telling you about books 1848 01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:24,760 Speaker 1: that either I have read or want to read, that 1849 01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:27,280 Speaker 1: have been highly recommended to me. Acagea I'll tell you 1850 01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:29,840 Speaker 1: about a book that that stinks. You know, I'm reading 1851 01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:31,880 Speaker 1: this Lost City of the Monkey God right now. I've 1852 01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:34,920 Speaker 1: got a few books in rotation, but I'm reading The 1853 01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:40,840 Speaker 1: Lost City of the Monkey God, and it's I just 1854 01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:43,240 Speaker 1: can't get that excited about archaeology. I don't know some 1855 01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:46,719 Speaker 1: people really, you know, when you don't have Indiana Jones 1856 01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,479 Speaker 1: and a bull whip and you know, gunfights and fistfights 1857 01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:52,160 Speaker 1: on top of trains and stuff, a lot of archaeology 1858 01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:55,559 Speaker 1: is oh, this very important, this this stunning discovery of 1859 01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:59,240 Speaker 1: the large earth mound? What was it used for burial 1860 01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:04,760 Speaker 1: or other ceremonial purposes five hundred years ago. I'm not 1861 01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:07,360 Speaker 1: saying it's not interesting at all. I'm obviously reading the book, 1862 01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:11,080 Speaker 1: but you know, I'm not loving it. I'm not loving it. 1863 01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:12,720 Speaker 1: And there's a little too much of the guy who 1864 01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:16,240 Speaker 1: writes the book, like there's so many dangerous snakes everywhere. 1865 01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, look, dude, as long as you're not getting 1866 01:45:19,040 --> 01:45:22,120 Speaker 1: kowala lamidia, you know you're gonna be okay. All right, 1867 01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:25,439 Speaker 1: you can handle the fair delance, which is a form 1868 01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:29,519 Speaker 1: of a type of pit viper. That's right, Kowala lamidia. 1869 01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:33,679 Speaker 1: You got to be careful, folks. It's out there from 1870 01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:36,879 Speaker 1: their puddles of little kawala urine. So it's an important 1871 01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:40,040 Speaker 1: safety tip for those of you wandering down to Australia sometime. 1872 01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:45,120 Speaker 1: Let's see. But if you're looking for a great book recommendation, 1873 01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:49,879 Speaker 1: you know, I recently read Endurance about the Shackleton Voyage, 1874 01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:52,240 Speaker 1: and I had I knew this story is one of 1875 01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:54,360 Speaker 1: these things where I knew the story really well. But man, 1876 01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:57,639 Speaker 1: that book is incredible and I recommended it through my dad. 1877 01:45:57,720 --> 01:46:01,280 Speaker 1: My dad loved it, So I really really recommend if 1878 01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:02,680 Speaker 1: you're looking for something that's just going to be a 1879 01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:06,400 Speaker 1: kind of a fun read that's timeless Ernest Shackleton's Voyage 1880 01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:08,320 Speaker 1: and the title of the the book is Endurance. I forget 1881 01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:11,000 Speaker 1: the author's name, but it's a great it's a great, 1882 01:46:11,080 --> 01:46:18,120 Speaker 1: fun and historically accurate read. Tommy. Tommy writes, Buck, take 1883 01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:19,920 Speaker 1: a look at that and tell me that media hype 1884 01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:21,960 Speaker 1: isn't driving something that will ultimately be a problem for 1885 01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:26,200 Speaker 1: a lot of children. He's writing me about transgender activists 1886 01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:28,600 Speaker 1: talking to kids. Yeah, I mean, I think this is 1887 01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:31,200 Speaker 1: brainwashing for our kids. I think it's really bad. I'm 1888 01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:34,639 Speaker 1: very concerned about it. I wish the left would stop 1889 01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:37,080 Speaker 1: being so crazy when it comes to I mean, it's 1890 01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:40,240 Speaker 1: one thing to promote transgenderism in different ways for adults, 1891 01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:46,880 Speaker 1: it's another thing to promote transgenderism to little kids. No 1892 01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:49,240 Speaker 1: one out there, there is not a single medical professional 1893 01:46:49,240 --> 01:46:52,280 Speaker 1: who can really tell you what the long term effects 1894 01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:58,479 Speaker 1: of gender transition hormones for a teenager would be because 1895 01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:01,639 Speaker 1: it's such a new practice, so it's not actually really 1896 01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:05,120 Speaker 1: feasible for anyone to say, well, in twenty years, you'll 1897 01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:07,040 Speaker 1: actually be happy you did this, or you won't have 1898 01:47:07,600 --> 01:47:11,000 Speaker 1: a whole slew of severe health risks. And they have 1899 01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:14,400 Speaker 1: no idea. They're politicizing not just science, but in this case, 1900 01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:21,599 Speaker 1: they're politicizing medicine, which is always really damaging, and it's 1901 01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:24,960 Speaker 1: upsetic because people are going to suffer terrible consequences as 1902 01:47:24,960 --> 01:47:28,200 Speaker 1: a result of it. Key and little kids may be 1903 01:47:28,240 --> 01:47:31,719 Speaker 1: suffering consequences too, Keith writes, the standard Belt color system 1904 01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:39,559 Speaker 1: for martial arts is white, yellow, gold, orange, green, blue, purple, brown, red, 1905 01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:43,000 Speaker 1: and black. Wow, that's a lot of Belts music. At 1906 01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:44,439 Speaker 1: the beginning of the show, I believe you've heard to 1907 01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:46,880 Speaker 1: it as dubstep. I searched for thirty minutes and found 1908 01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:49,120 Speaker 1: a different found a bunch of different versions. Can you 1909 01:47:49,160 --> 01:47:51,759 Speaker 1: give me the infront the version you played. I assume 1910 01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:54,080 Speaker 1: it's a dubstep style and has been been performed by 1911 01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:56,760 Speaker 1: many artists. Thanks in advance, Keith, Keith. The music that 1912 01:47:56,880 --> 01:48:00,559 Speaker 1: we play is licensed music because we don't we don't 1913 01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:03,040 Speaker 1: want to pay for you know, it would be fun, 1914 01:48:03,560 --> 01:48:05,920 Speaker 1: like if if I could just pick a song that 1915 01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:09,080 Speaker 1: we would start out this show with. I don't know, 1916 01:48:09,120 --> 01:48:11,840 Speaker 1: it might be, you know, in Living Color, Cult of 1917 01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:15,840 Speaker 1: Personality or something. I mean that guitar riff something like that. 1918 01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:18,080 Speaker 1: That would be fun, but but that would cost I 1919 01:48:18,120 --> 01:48:22,120 Speaker 1: don't know, it would cost the show half a million, 1920 01:48:22,120 --> 01:48:24,720 Speaker 1: a million dollars something like that. So instead we have 1921 01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:28,400 Speaker 1: license music, which can be good. It can be good, 1922 01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:31,200 Speaker 1: but it's produced by these companies that make license. So 1923 01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:33,960 Speaker 1: the answer is, my friend, you've got to just go 1924 01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:40,479 Speaker 1: to if you get a music licensing access, then you 1925 01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:42,479 Speaker 1: can find things like that, but it's not a real 1926 01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:44,280 Speaker 1: song that you can download or buy off of if 1927 01:48:44,320 --> 01:48:46,440 Speaker 1: it but I like it too, it's actually good dubsteps. 1928 01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:52,920 Speaker 1: I'm glad you agree with me. You're huh. Rights Buck 1929 01:48:53,080 --> 01:48:57,400 Speaker 1: County is one more that agrees with you regarding athletic scholarships. 1930 01:48:58,680 --> 01:49:01,800 Speaker 1: Colleges for academics and sports should be an activity for 1931 01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:04,240 Speaker 1: a break from studies. Have the teams, but the players 1932 01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:06,439 Speaker 1: should come from the student body that is there to 1933 01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:09,439 Speaker 1: get an education. Let football start a minor league like 1934 01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:11,800 Speaker 1: baseball and recruit those out of high school that don't 1935 01:49:11,840 --> 01:49:15,360 Speaker 1: want to sit in classrooms anymore. Johan, I totally agree. 1936 01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:18,080 Speaker 1: I also think you look at athletic careers for people 1937 01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:21,400 Speaker 1: that really are going to go pro, and a lot 1938 01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:24,679 Speaker 1: of them would be well served to go pro and 1939 01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:28,519 Speaker 1: either do part time school off off season or to 1940 01:49:28,760 --> 01:49:30,599 Speaker 1: go to school full time. And you know there are 1941 01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:33,720 Speaker 1: late twenties, early thirties, there's it's just we need to 1942 01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:37,320 Speaker 1: rethink this paradigm that the NC Double A is effectively 1943 01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:41,519 Speaker 1: a giant minor league sports franchise that uses college campuses 1944 01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:44,559 Speaker 1: as its incubators. It's just not It's just not the 1945 01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:46,679 Speaker 1: way that it should be. And I know people get 1946 01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:49,479 Speaker 1: very angry at me on this one, but I'm also right. 1947 01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:52,639 Speaker 1: So it's fun to be right because I'm right. Team. 1948 01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:55,160 Speaker 1: Honor and privilege to have had you with me here 1949 01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:58,120 Speaker 1: in the Hut.
