WEBVTT - Trump Derangement Goes Global 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:16.680 You are entering the freedom hunt. Left wing journalists are 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:22.160 all upset about the controversy surrounding Elizabeth Warren. We'll talk 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.319 about that, and also why is it that the left 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.040 is all of a sudden so bellicos when it comes 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:31.920 to Saudi Arabia? Is this really about security or is 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.000 this something else? That and more coming up on The 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:38.160 Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.239 the mission or mission is to decode what really matters 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:48.199 with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American. 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:58.560 Again The Buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts, No, welcome to 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.480 the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody live from the Swamp Washington, 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.040 d C. Actually got to spend all time over at 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.600 the Trump Hotel today. That was That's always fun. It's 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.320 amazing to be in a place where you walk around 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.959 and people like, hey, Buck, keep up the good workman, 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.280 love the show. I'm like, oh wow, in d C, 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.319 in the swamp, no less, there are good There are 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:24.520 good hearted and and stout patriots amongst us. Indeed there 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:29.280 are I've got to tell you. The possibility of the 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.479 Republicans not just keeping the Senate but also the House, 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.480 I think is getting bigger and bigger with every passing day, 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.880 and I think that it has the left completely freaked out. 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.080 I think that they're grasping at this point. Although there's 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.720 a part of me, given their tactics in the past, 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.120 given the way that we know they play the game, 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.960 there's a part of me that has to think they 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.320 must have something else up their sleeve. They must have 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.960 a plan that we have not yet seen but may 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.280 Maybe it's just more of the same. Maybe it's just 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:10.200 more dishonesty, more grasping, more puffed up nonsense about Russia 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:17.200 collusion or uh these attacks on Kavanaugh and the Republicans 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.919 being being rape apologists they say, although maybe they're learning 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:27.359 their lesson, maybe they are realizing that this in fact 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.600 did not work out well for them. I see something 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:38.359 happening right now that I it's not yet clear. I'm 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.200 sure a lot of other folks that this is really 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.920 what's going on, but I see the early stages of this. 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:49.520 I think that they are trying right now. The left 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:53.360 wing media is hoping to find a way to make 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.920 Trump make a mistake when it comes to his dealings 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:02.360 with Saudi Arabia. I think that they're willing to push 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.440 as much as they can to get a misstep from 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.960 the president, even if it means a problem that will 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.919 haunt our Midi's foreign policy for a long time to come. 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.799 All of a sudden, they are rushing out with all 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.240 the usual talking points. Right there, they're saying, Oh, Trump, 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:28.480 Trump is too cozy with dictators, the same people that 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.720 say that we're praising Obama's foreign policy. While Obama sat 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.960 on his hands and not only did nothing, in fact 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:40.400 made Syria worse, made a civil war that killed over 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:46.400 five hundred thousand people worse. It was one thing to 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.920 say that he did nothing, but no, we had a 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.560 training program for the so called Free Syrian Army that 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:55.000 was a disaster. We had a red line over the 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.040 usage of chemical weapons that was a disaster because Obama 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.640 didn't enforce that red line. So in dead we had 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:07.360 years and years of carnage. And that carnage, I would note, 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.760 stretch far beyond serious borders and in fact led to 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.040 mass casualty terror attacks in Europe and yes here in 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.640 the United States, inspired by an Islamic state that was 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:22.320 able to run wild because Obama didn't have the decision 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.240 making capability, didn't have the strength of his convictions or 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:32.000 character to do something anything, the right thing. And now 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.680 those same people want to lecture us all about how 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.800 Trump is making a terrible mistake here with Saudi Arabia. 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.080 He hasn't even he hasn't even taken an action yet, 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.640 hasn't even had the chance to fully review all the 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.520 facts of the case. But with the left and with 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:53.320 the media united together in this effort to take down 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:57.120 the President United States, it does not really matter to 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.479 them that they will rush well ahead of facts. It 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.320 doesn't matter that they may be creating a kind of 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.320 pressure around the decision making of the commander in chief 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:12.160 intended to get him to mess up. They're looking for 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.000 reasons to criticize him and undermine him. There is nothing 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.200 I can tell you this right now. If Trump sat 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.239 down with the editorial board of the New York Times 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:25.040 and the Washington Post, sat down with all the big name, overpaid, 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.239 pompous hosts at CNN and MSNBC, and said, okay, everyone, 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.320 what do you think I should do about Saudi Arabia. 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.080 If he went and then did what that thing? Were 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:41.599 those things? I assure you, I promise you, within forty 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.120 eight hours, they would be saying, oh my gosh, look 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.000 what Trump has done again. Look at how he has 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.440 made a made a mess of things. They have no 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:55.920 interest in promoting US foreign policy and our strength abroad. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.000 Their interest is in undermining the commander in chief in 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.159 whatever way they can get there. Here's a perfect example. 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.760 You've got Joe Scarborough. How this guy is still considered 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.000 a Republican anywhere. He's a question that I would like 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.960 an answer to these days. He feels about his Republican 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.000 or sounds about his Republican as Jennifer Rubin of the 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:18.200 Washington Post. But here's what he has to say about 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.880 Trump and how all this goes play too. He is 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:25.640 showing extreme naivete on the world stage. It hurts America 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.520 and it certainly makes him look like a week later 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.840 not just look he does look so weak and its sphetic. 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.400 It just like he did in Helsinki. Here's a guy 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.760 who just bumbling idiot. You have a guy who is 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.960 scared of KGB agents, not man enough to stand up 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.679 to former KGB agents, and not man enough to stand 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.880 up to Sawty sheiks. I mean, that's what we have 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.279 in a president. Whatever they have on him better be 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.080 worth it. Because he looks like a bumbling idiot. It's 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.640 just money, I guess though, I mean, is this what 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.800 Donald Trump promised people he was gonna I thought he 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.440 was going to be a strong leader. Instead he's cow 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:08.200 tell and let letting these people, letting these autocrats, letting 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:15.480 these tyrants kill journalists in the light of day. All 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:23.600 the sanctimony and blather, complete blather from these two pompous, overpaid, 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:28.720 overcloft clowns at MSNBC. They don't know a damn thing 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.480 about what they're talking about. Oh what, because Mika's dad 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.600 was Secretary of State, I'm supposed to listen to what 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.880 she has to say. I don't think so. It wasn't 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.960 a good secretary of state for what that's worth. Was 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.640 actually pretty terrible at it. But discussion for another time. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:50.640 And Joe, when I say whose team is yawn, I 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.320 know the answer. He's on Joe's team. It's Oh, it's 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.600 all about Joe. It's all about Scarborough himself. He doesn't 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.560 represent any ideology, he doesn't represent any set of principles. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.720 He doesn't even represent being a journalist. He's just there 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.640 to spout off and make sure his hair is swooped 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.280 up as high as possible, you know, calm down with 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.480 the swoop and the rock band Joe. It's a little weird, 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.880 and you can tell they're trying to make this personal. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:20.560 They're trying to They're trying to personally goad the president 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.160 of the United States on this issue. What is he 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.000 really going to do, folks? What what message is he 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.880 going to send the Saudis on this one that would 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.800 so that would so dramatically change their minds, that would 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.960 all of a sudden mean they would never do this again, 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:40.679 or they would think twice about doing this again. What 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.680 are we really gonna do? This is not a US citizen, 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.720 This was not done on US soil. The Saudis. Let's 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.600 break this down to what it is. The Saudi's killed 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:53.360 the guy on the soil of another country in a consulate. 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.880 Is it disgusting? And Barbara, yes, do the Saudis do disgusting, 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.720 barbaric things all the time? Absolutely? That is nothing new. 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.559 Why is this our problem? I keep hearing about how, what, what? 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.160 What is Trump going to do? What is Trump going 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:12.040 to do? What could he do? And why is it 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.600 on him? Shouldn't this be don't we have a United 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.000 Nations for exactly this purpose. Don't we have this international 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.000 community that I hear so much about all the time, 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:27.160 so there can be multilateral and concerted action. So oh buck, 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.880 But they won't do anything. Yeah, exactly, they won't do anything, 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.360 will they? But when they when they don't like what 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.120 the US is doing, it's, oh, why don't you wait 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.400 for the international community, It's it's better if it comes 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:43.720 from from all nations united together. Well what about this issue? 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.600 Well no, let's not wait for the United Community of 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.040 nations to come together. Let's let's have the US do 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:57.520 what I have to say. The the frenzy, the frenzy 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.240 that the media is engaged in right now to make 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:04.440 this the biggest story in the country, and to skip 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:10.199 over what's going on with US troops, for example, in Afghanistan, 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:14.640 a place we're still at which we're still in war. Um, 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.160 we don't hear about it, do we. We don't hear 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.760 about the fact that we're in the process of slowly 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.760 losing that war. They don't want to. They don't talk 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.400 about that anymore. Uh. They want to focus on this issue. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.000 And I would say it's not just because they do 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.120 feel journalists do feel a special affinity for other journalists, right, 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.040 this hits home for them. Not so much during the 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.839 Obama years when Obama was pulling the phone records of 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:43.520 journalists and listing on d o J charging sheets unindicted 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.080 co conspirators as you know, journalists. But you know that 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.320 was Obama. Oh that's right, you know, tough guy. Tapper 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.640 would say, you know, Obama, do you think that that 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.280 you're really the best This administration is the best messenger 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:02.000 on that issue? Yeah, that's oooh tough talk. Tough talk 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.240 to the Obama administration, which used the Espionage Act more 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:09.240 than every other administration combined. Not a lot of talk 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.280 about how they were destroying the First Amendment though, right, 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.320 Not not much of that. You hear that about Trump 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:20.839 all the time because he tweets, because he tweets this 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.920 this journalist, Koshogi. What happened to him? We still don't 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.680 really know, and we should not lose sight of that. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.640 We don't know what happened to Kashogi. We have not 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.600 been told what the facts are of this case. They're 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.240 still trying to figure it out. But everyone wants Trump 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.960 to take action. They want to push the President United States, 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.640 the leader of the free world to do something that 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.240 could upset the balance of power in the Middle East, 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.600 that could have long term ramifications, and they don't care 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.079 about any of that. What they really just want is 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.520 the opportunity to criticize the president for inaction and then 0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:00.520 dump all over him for whatever action he takes. These 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:07.840 people are disgusting, their disgrace. None other than chief National 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:12.280 security propagandists for the Obama administration Ben Rhodes takes this 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.600 to the next level, and you know, it's once again, 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.760 it's always about Trump. It's all Trump's fault. Somehow, everything 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.200 that the left doesn't like is Trump's fault. Place sixteen. 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.040 And the message of President Trump is sending is that 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.400 there's no consequences. And what you have to realize is 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.079 there's nobody else who can play the role of the 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.200 United States to hold people like this to account. We 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.160 are the world's oldest and most significant democracy, and if 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.760 we're not a democracy, if we're not sending up for this, 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.720 there's not somebody else who's going to do that. And 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.560 the consequences of that are journalists everywhere are less safe. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.959 And let's face it, we have a president who says journals, 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.800 so the enemy of the state. So values like freedom 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:52.079 of speech and dissent suddenly are very endangered around the world. 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.120 And that's a tread line that I think is getting 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.760 much worse. That is a giant pile of crap, A 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.680 giant pile of crap from Obama's chief national security propagandist, 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.840 a guy who laughed about creating an echo chamber of 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:11.120 idiot almost entirely Democrat journalists during the Obama years to 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.400 sell the irandal, laughed at their ignorance and their stupidity, 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.040 at least on that he was right. They do have 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.920 a lot of idiot journalists at these media outlets, especially 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.240 the young ones who are right out of college, who 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:27.280 have just bought into this leftist nonsense hook line and sinker, 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.600 but no notice how far this goes. I mean, this 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:38.600 is Trump arrangement syndrome on the world stage. A Saudi 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:44.719 hit team kills a Saudi journalist in a consulate in Turkey, 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.160 and it's on It's on Trump to make this right. 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:50.880 It's on us to make this right. Let me tell 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.920 you something, as someone who has spent more time than 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:58.160 he ever thought he would in war zones alongside men 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.280 and women who were wearing the uniform him to defend 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:05.559 this country and to essentially rebuild other people's countries for them. 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.680 I don't think we have to make everyone else's problems 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.120 are problems all the time. You know, Saudi Arabia is 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:15.320 a terrible, tyrannical kingdom that we have to deal with 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.240 because of the realities of the world we live in. 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.200 It's a terrible place, by the way, in large part 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:25.320 because of the prevailing ideology, which is fundamentalist Islam. That's 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:29.880 why it's so bad and repressive and intolerant. That doesn't 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.280 get talked about. You'll notice that's left out of the 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:38.240 conversation entirely. And the criticism here is much stronger against 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:42.320 Trump himself than against this the leader of Saudi Arabia, 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:48.160 the de facto ruler, Mohammed been Solomon. That's right, someone 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:52.120 somewhere gets killed by someone else, and it's Trump's fault. 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.280 You see, He's the one that we should all be 0:14:55.360 --> 0:15:02.360 angry at. These people are delusional, and what's worse, giving 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.640 the length they're willing to go to here to try 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:10.800 and push for presidential action, they're dangerous. Don't forget that. 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.120 We've got more on this. And also, obviously the Elizabeth 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:20.400 Warren Debuckle, which is amusing and also insane. Uh. And 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.800 then just some issues some of the latest on the 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.720 polling for the mid terms, where this is all heading 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.360 how the economies look in We got a jam pack 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:33.920 show because that's how we roll. I'll be right back team, 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:38.960 And so the implications are really really significant. Uh, because 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.400 we've talked from the beginning of this presidency, Joe about 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:46.760 the potential impact on human rights worldwide. Well, that begins 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.600 with journalists. I remember vividly a train trip up on 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.720 the Ascella when I talked to a group for International 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.200 and International Group to Protect Journalists who told me it 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.760 was within months of Trump taking office that they saw 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:04.120 of worldwide threats to journalists going up. And this is 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:08.160 kind of the in the extreme, what is happening now 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.080 in terms of human rights not only two journalists, but 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.960 in several hot spots around the world. That's all bull 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.120 That woman has no idea, that MSNBC analysts has no 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.520 idea what she's she's talking about. I bring you to 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:27.200 a piece written by yours truly in the age of Trump, 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:31.760 that the press can't stop playing the victim. Yeah. I 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.480 actually looked at the numbers, you know that from the 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.400 Committity to Protect Journalists and all that stuff. Who wants 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.720 to guess how many journalists have been killed in America 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:47.560 since eleven eleven? How many people in this country since 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.720 two alright, stretching back now for all you know, going 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.080 on three decades. Let's just what is it, eight eight, eighteen, 0:16:56.120 --> 0:17:02.000 twenty six years, for almost thirty years, how many people 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.080 have been killed in this country who are journalists? And 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:10.520 they wanted to guess? Three? Three people have been killed 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.320 for journalism in America in thirty years, and not by 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.280 the state, but just by people that didn't like that 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:19.080 the journalists were doing stories on them. And when you 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.840 look at the numbers abroad, I'm not saying there aren't 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.240 bad states and there aren't utalitarian regimes, but they've been 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:31.880 bad all along. They've been bad all along. By way 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.240 of comparison, we've had three journalists killed in twenty six 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.960 years in this country. You know how many cab drivers 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:42.320 were killed last year? Sixty? You don't see cab drivers 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.680 are going, oh my gosh, we can't do our jobs. 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:49.720 All all journalists this journalist line that I hear about, Oh, 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:54.000 Trump has made it harder for journalists. How the entire 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.199 journalist apparatus in this countries against against him, and their 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.159 ratings are going up and they're more famous than ever, 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.280 They're making more money. There's no action being taken against them. 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.400 What because Trump makes fun of them, He hurts their feelings. 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.959 Because Trump calls out Jim Acosta for being the clown 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:12.720 that he is. Any time anything anywhere happens to a 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:18.120 journalist in the entire world, it's Trump's fault. I mean, 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.240 these are the same people that believe that Elizabeth Warren 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.479 is actually a Native American, even after she showed her 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.320 date DNA results which showed she is not a Native American. 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.280 I don't know. I have a tough time our journalist delusional? 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.600 Are they just not very smart? I'm not sure which one. 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:35.600 As the President said, we're gonna get to the bottom 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:40.480 other it's important that the world know the truth. If 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:47.080 in fact, h Mr Kashogi was murder, we need to 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:50.920 know who was responsible. We need to hold those responsible. 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:56.480 Uh and uh, it's just it's it's even more important 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.439 that that he was a member of a free and 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:03.680 independent rest. Any loss of life is grievance, Any act 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.840 of violence that claims the life is to be condemned. 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.520 But uh, this was also an assault on a free 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:15.399 and independent press. So um, we're gonna demand answers. The 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.719 world deserves answers, and the President and I and our 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.600 administration are going to continue to call for answers to 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:27.320 see that those are responsible are held to account. Now 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.040 that's the vice president who's saying pretty much all the 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:32.800 things you would expect him to say. I think he's 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:37.600 saying the right things here on this issue. Uh, But 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:44.600 the leftist critics of the regime of the administration, Sorry, 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:48.199 that happens sometimes. They're not placated by this at all. 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.359 They're not okay. They don't say all right, you know 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.320 because Penn says, we just need the facts and we'll 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:55.120 hold them accountable. They're not. They're not slowing down all. 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:59.600 They want to jump all over them. That's their plan. 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:01.520 They want to jump all over the president and the 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.640 vice president on this issue as much as they can. 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.320 And they're not waiting for anything. They don't wanta wait 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:08.920 for the facts. They don't wait to see what action 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:16.080 he takes. They just prefer this notion that yeah, Trump 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.560 is a bad guy. That helps them sleep a night it. Well, 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.600 one other thing, though, I would disagree with Vice President 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.040 Pence on on one matter, or the notion that this 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.000 is an attack on an independent press. Okay, well he 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.960 would write for the Washington Post. But Saudi Arabia doesn't 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.000 have an independent press at all, not not even a 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.160 little bit. Okay, there, there is not an independent president Sudi. 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:38.280 People say, oh, book, it's been getting a little better, 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:43.280 and yeah, whatever. Turkey doesn't have an independent press. In fact, 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.560 the country where Kaushogi was from what we see, from 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.879 what we believe murdered, is one of the worst in 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.240 the world when it comes to press freedom. Not Saudi Arabia. 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:57.680 Turkey bad when it comes to press your freedom. So 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.000 when we say it's an attack on a free press, yeah, 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:01.800 we live in a world where the free press is 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:07.639 the exception, not the rule. A lot of countries have 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:10.679 all kinds of constraints on what can be printed, what 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:14.160 can be said, what can be shared. Lots of countries 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:17.480 and even countries that you think of as having a 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.240 free press, maybe some of the Western European states, for example, 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:26.480 they have restrictions based on you know, hate crime legislation 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.520 and all all kinds of stuff. In Britain, there's no 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.159 oh you can print. You can print national security secrets 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.400 because you're the press. They have the Official Secrets Act. 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:37.520 They'll lock your butt up. They don't care if it's 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.159 a matter of public importance, they'll just lock you up. 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:44.320 So I just think everyone needs to take a deep 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:48.960 breath and understand that, yes, this is bad. Yes the U. 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:52.199 S Should send a strong message, but it's not the 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.600 worst thing that's ever happened in the history of mankind. 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:57.560 We need to take a step back here and understand 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:00.640 that people die all of the world under terrible circumstances 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.600 every day. Doesn't mean you ignore at all, but it 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:07.560 just means that you need perspective here. And what we're 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:09.480 going to do, even if we find out that the 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:14.600 saudiast are as culpable as is as has been alleged 0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:16.119 from the very beginning, meaning all the way up to 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.879 the top, maybe we'll not sell them some munitions we 0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:23.000 said we're gonna sell them. Maybe we'll send them a 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:26.679 strong reprimand under. We have no legal authority to do 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:30.760 anything about this. We are not signatories. The United States 0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:33.960 is not a signatory to the International Criminal Court, so 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:38.480 we can't go there. And we're not a signatory for 0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:39.919 a good reason, which is that the notion of an 0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.440 international criminal law it doesn't really exist. I mean, yeah, 0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:46.600 there's war crimes, I guess, but try and forcing those 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:50.320 unless you've already beaten the country and brought them to 0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:53.919 submission that you want to punish people in because of 0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:57.000 their work crimes. Right. It's just it's really easy to 0:22:57.680 --> 0:22:59.720 to bang the tough guy drum on this issue. It's 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:03.280 it's a lot harder to sit back and actually come 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:07.720 up with constructive ways to deal with all this. You know, 0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:11.000 It's really easy to say, oh, you know, I'm I'm 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.200 all about a free press and Trump isn't doing enough? 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:17.080 All right, what should we do? I'm not just saying, oh, 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:20.439 we can't bring a Showgi back because we can't. But 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:22.679 he's not he's not an American. Why why does it 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:27.280 fall on us? Why does it fall on us? I'm 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:31.119 just wondering, you know, I'm wondering why that is. And 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.840 I think it's because they see, they view this ultimately, 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:37.960 this is just another opportunity to bash the president. That's 0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:40.199 that's what really gets them motivated. That's what gets them 0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:44.320 really excited about all this. Um I wanted to talk 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:48.240 to you a bit about what's going on it comes 0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:51.160 to immigration. Right now in this country. We have another 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:55.240 caravan heading toward our southern border. I've had a chance 0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:59.000 to I I interviewed a Democrat congressman today on this issue, 0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.879 and I have many, many thoughts to share on this. 0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.320 We we will get a bit deeper into the Elizabeth 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.600 Warren thing because she won't stop. She's already in a 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:11.600 very deep hole, and she keeps digging and digging, and 0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:13.320 people are like, Okay, you really need to stop digging, 0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:15.359 or else you're gonna come out the other side of 0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:17.359 the globe or something. You know, you really need to stop, 0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:21.560 and she won't stop. I'm not gonna stop. Keep just 0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:25.800 gonna keep digging, all right. So if that's her choice, 0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:28.440 we will discuss what it means. I think it does 0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:32.800 have some ramifications for the Democrats. Um, so we've got 0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:35.080 a lot to a lot to digest here together, my friend, 0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:37.800 let's talk immigration in just a moment. Stay with me. 0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:40.440
