WEBVTT - Pelosi Losing Her Feud With Trump 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.640 You are entering the freedom hunt. The shutdown continues and 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:20.239 with it the Pelosi and Trump showdown. Who got the 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:22.280 better side of it? Today? We'll get into that and 0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:25.560 also more on the Covington High School kids. The media 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:29.640 refuses to learn its lesson. They continue to spread falsehoods 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.000 and lies. We will tear those apart. And an update 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.519 on what's going on with the China trade war and 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.839 a Supreme Court case that could have a huge impact 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.360 on gun rights across the country. That are more coming up. 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.800 This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:50.000 mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.720 Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again, the 0:00:55.880 --> 0:01:02.640 Buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts remember of the nimbdected no 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.160 that not only is the President holding the American people 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.520 in America's workers hostage, He's holding the Republicans in the 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.480 Congress of the United States hostage. Not all of them. 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.280 Some of them understand what it means in the lives 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.360 of American people. We hope that more of them will. 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:26.000 Congressional Democrats support smart, effective border security, but we do 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.680 not support the president holding the health, safety, and paychecks 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:34.119 of the American people hostage again to a campaign applause line. 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.640 There is serious and justified concern that this president would 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.440 shut down the government anytime he does not get his 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.360 way legislatively. That is why we must hold the line. 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.720 The State of the Union speech has been canceled by 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.000 Nancy Pelosi because she doesn't want to hear the truth. 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.640 She doesn't want the American public to hear what's going on. 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.960 She's afraid of the truth and the super left Democrats, 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.800 the radical Democrats. What's going on in that party is shocking. 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.600 I know many people that were Democrats are the switching 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.959 over right now, the switching over quickly. So I hope 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.040 they know what they're doing for their party. So far 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.800 they haven't. If you know, I won the Senate, meaning 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.520 we won the Senate all together, but we had no 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.480 credit for that, they don't talk about that. They talk 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.400 about the House. So welcome to the buck sex and 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:29.520 show everybody. This is turning into quite the back and 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:35.320 forth between Nancy Pelosi and Speaker Pelosi and President Trump 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:43.160 as I understand it, the shutdown began, Pelosi extended the invite. 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.120 Trump said, okay, yeah, I'll take the invite to give 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.040 the see of the Union. And then Pelosi had some 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:54.840 nonsense about how there wouldn't be you know, secret service 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.360 protection or something, and that was just that was just crap. 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.880 And then okay, then the invite was. Trump said yeah, 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.720 I'll take that invite, and then Pelosi's like, psych, no 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.120 invite for you. Do you remember do you remember that 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.480 Brandon a mike when people should go psych? People don't 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.560 really do that anymore. Oh God, I miss the nineties. 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.800 So this is going to continue on for quite a while. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.400 This is not going to end anytime soon, I think, 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.480 and I know that there are poles that will tell 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.480 me that I'm wrong, but I don't care. I know 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:28.360 more than poles said every political analyst ever. I think 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.119 Pelosi's losing here. I think the Democrats are losing because 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:39.120 they don't really have an argument. Their argument is effectively 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:44.080 slogans and talking points. And the longer people hear about this, 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.000 the longer I think we can look at this and 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:55.840 all understand that they don't really care about border security. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.520 It's not about the money. It's just about the Amocrats 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.520 not wanting to give Trump a win. That's all it is. 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.440 Or that's eighty percent of a twenty percent of is 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:07.920 they just want to keep the flow of illegals coming 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.560 into the country. But most of it is they just 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:16.160 know that a Trump administration that could go into twenty 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.120 twenty saying, see, we keep our promises, and we kept 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.440 our biggest and most profound promise during the campaign, trip 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:28.200 Trump will be unstoppable. Kamala Harris, Come on, Elizabeth Warren, 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:33.320 please you go down the list. They got nothing, Kirsten Gillibrand, 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:40.279 no way. This guy out of South Bend, Indiana, he 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.200 just threw his hat in the ring. It's a joke. 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.120 There's no way. But there are gonna be a lot 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.520 of candidates. And look, the Republicans have candidates soon never 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:52.840 got above a few percentage points. So I'm not saying 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.880 that this is on just one side. But you look 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.960 at this, They're not even running their first tier establishment democrat. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.200 It's really Kamala Harris. Fine, Corey Booker, Yes, but and 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.160 he hasn't thrown his hat, and yet he will. Elizabeth Warren. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:12.360 I think Elizabeth Warren may have self destructed in one 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.599 one fell swoop more than any politician in recent memory. 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.159 I think that she's done. I just don't believe that 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.480 the American people are gonna say, yeah, you're one one 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.679 and twenty fourth Native Americans, so that's like basically Native American. Sure, 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.680 I don't believe that, and I think that they'll create 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:36.600 real problems for themselves if they essentially legitimize racial fraud, 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.160 which is what she engaged in. But with Pelosi and 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.080 with Trump though, she hasn't had to deal with someone 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.440 like Trump before, and I think it's really unnerving. I've 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.719 seen some pundits say, oh, Trump has never had to 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:54.159 deal with somebody like Nancy Pelosi before, a woman in 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.440 such a powerful position. And I don't think the Trump 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.479 is the one that's unnerved by this at all. I 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:06.400 think that he understood, he responded, He responded that, or 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.520 responded rather to people who were saying, you've got to 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.400 follow through on this promise, and the promise was that 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.480 he would build a wall. The more people learned about 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:18.120 a wall, the more clear it is that Trump was 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.640 right on that all along. And isn't that worth just 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.360 taking a moment to think about. We have been told 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:30.080 by Democrats for three years now, right, all of Trump's 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.240 time running for office, as in running for the general 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.120 and the primary. But We've been told for all that 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.920 and since he's been president that a wall is it's dumb, 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.360 it doesn't make any sense, it won't work, it's you know, 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.719 all this stuff. We hear all this stuff all the 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:53.719 time about the wall, and yet now that we are 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:58.200 looking at the wall, the fence doesn't matter. Trump was 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.960 right all along. He was right on that. You know, 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.920 I'm gonna have a trade expert later on in the 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.200 show about Trump and China and his willingness to confront 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.720 China on trade, and what you're gonna hear is effectively 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.160 is very similar, and that all the experts were saying, Oh, no, 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.920 you can't do anything about China. That's terrible. Trade war, 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.800 trade war, so bad, free trade, free trade. These are slogans. 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.920 China needs to be dealt with on these issues because 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:31.120 China's acting badly at our expense. The southern border is 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.920 not secure, but the areas that have been largely secured 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:43.120 have sufficient resources, and usually that means offense. Why is 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.400 it that Trump was the only one who was willing 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.760 to say these things? Though, you know, I would note 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:54.720 that with all seventeen Republican candidates, maybe Ted Cruz toward 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.480 the end in a last ditch effort. By the way, 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.720 it is not true. Some of you are gonna are 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.960 gonna laugh him. It is not true that Ted Cruz 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.000 inspired me to grow a beard. That rumor has been started. 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.800 I will put that put that to bed right now. 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:12.160 Although I do think that it's a good thing, and 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.680 that he is he looks a little he looks a 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.760 little like His beard is kind of I don't know 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.960 if it's like Civil War general or Wolverine more, but 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:26.440 it's it's more statesmanlike. I think the Cruise beard. And 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.760 next time I see Senator Cruz, I'll give him a 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.960 high five for the beard. But he wasn't really pushing 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:33.960 the wall the way Trump was. Only Trump was pushing 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:38.319 this wall. And Ann Coulter and her bocadio sumhar. You 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.920 got to give Anne credit. I mean, Anne is somebody 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.480 recently described and to me as not even a pundit 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.000 and is like her own country, which I thought was 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.480 really funny. And I'm sure Ane would appreciate that. She's 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.640 got a good sense of humor. But you know, she 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.840 very much gave the president prucer. Mike is saying he 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.600 definitely looks more like Wolverine. I agree he is. It's 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:03.200 more wolverine like that cruise beard, you know, And now 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.079 you feel like he's a little more rough and tumble. 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.760 When when he wears that Carhart jacket for the photo op, 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.679 you're like, oh, that's not the first time Senator Cruz 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.640 has put on that jacket. You guys all know what 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.599 I'm talking about. Uh, you know, the beard is a 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.480 good look for him. I'm still not sure about my 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.000 own beer, but it's I'm not going to be solop 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.240 cystic like a millennial and talk about the beard, at 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:22.560 least till the end of the show when we talk 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.880 about other solopsistic millennials. I don't think millennials know what 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.559 that word means. That's why I use it, Producer Mike. 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.640 I exposed them. I expose their millennial ignorance. On the left. 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.360 Solops is in the center of the You are the 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.400 center of the universe. That is what the word means, 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.960 um like sool like the sun. You are the center 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.920 of the universe, so I or maybe it's the center 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.080 of the solar system whatever. I think that Trump is 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.160 doing well on this one, but I do like to 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.679 look at the at the big ideas this administration has 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:58.600 been pushing and at least we're having a full hearing 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.439 of them. And I think it's amazing to watch how 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.679 the more knowledge we have on these things. I mean, 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:09.240 I routinely crushed libs when I debate the wall or 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:10.599 the border with them Ian They don't even want to 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.360 talk about it anymore because the facts and the reality 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:15.640 is on the side of people who say there is 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.320 a problem, a wall would help and we need to 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.720 do something about it, and all the actual experts agree 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.400 with that. So Pelosi saying this is just a campaign 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.240 promise is Pelosi doing what she always does, which is 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:30.600 just politics without much much of a boost of IQ 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.080 injected into it. I mean, this is just whatever she 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.520 has to say to try and outmaneuver Trump, and she's 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:42.080 never dealt with a Republican like him before. Other Republicans 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.480 would have caved already. And you all know, because I 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.360 was saying on the show, when I thought that Trump 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.120 wasn't even going to have this fight, I was furious. 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.200 I was furious. I came on the show when we 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.080 thought it was going to be just okay, He's going 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.760 to sign this thing, and I was curious. And Trump 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.599 listened to people who like me. I mean, he was 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.360 I think listening yes to Anne and to Rush and 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.600 to people that have a voice that he should by 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.360 the way, he should listen to. I think it's so 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.959 funny because oh, it's terrible these people were in the country. 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.280 What we would rather have the president take the advice 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.920 of overpaid political consultants, you know, polsters and people that 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.679 are just creatures of the Beltway. Why why do they 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.680 have some great wisdom or knowledge that the president should 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:27.200 be listening to. But all this possibility of a State 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:31.640 of the Union address, um, I like that they're considering 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.560 alternative venues for it. I think that that's that's a 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:41.440 good move. I do have some concerns about the way 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.520 that this all ends, is that the airports essentially become 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.199 a complete, a complete nightmare co compleat disaster. I think 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:53.840 that there's a real possibility that if you have widespread 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.600 tsa sick outs where they're just not showing up, which 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.160 people are already saying, it's gone up. By the way, 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.559 I think the the rate for last week a year ago, 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.000 when they were doing a comparison was you know, one 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.120 percent or two percent, we're out, and this it was 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.959 five or something. It wasn't some huge number, but it's 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:15.160 going to get bigger that the Republicans finally say all right, 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.199 that's too much, than they cave. And at that point, 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.840 for Trump to declare a national emergency to get it done, 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.000 you know that would that would also be something that 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.240 comes with its own set of consequences. And I do 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.560 get when you have someone like Ocasio Cortez saying something 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:38.920 as fundamentally stupid and really demented as twelve years from now, 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:40.720 the world is going to end if we don't have 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.000 a green new deal and tackle climate change, and people 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.720 cheer for this and clap like that's something that any 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.040 normal human being should be saying. It does worry me 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.560 that the president's declaring a national emergency based upon their 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.440 judgment unless it is really, really, really clear. I do 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.120 think the border is a national emergency, but I know 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:03.200 that if that press is set by this president, heaven 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.480 forbid the next time we have a Democrat, and it's 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:09.040 you know, probably going to be twenty twenty four, and 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.280 it looks like it might be President o'cazio Cortez. I 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.920 know she doesn't know anything, but liberals don't care. They 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.360 don't care. You guys can look at me like I'm crazy. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.640 They just do not care that she doesn't know anything 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.520 sounds right though they liked the whole package. She's, you know, 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.200 a socialist and she owns it, and they're all into it. 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.160 So twenty twenty four here we come. I'm feeling very 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.600 confident about Trump's chances in twenty twenty. I know that 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.800 can all change, but Special Counsel's not going to take 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:44.160 him down no way. And the media's credibility is worse 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:45.839 than it was the first time around when he ran. 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.360 He's gonna just be able to pummel them and it 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.120 will be highly amusing and very much deserved. And the 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.880 economy strong made a lot of good decisions, great on judges. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.320 Although you know, a friend of mine brought up recently, 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:05.040 what about the possibility of from a strategic juror's prudence perspective, 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.680 Supreme Court Thomas retiring deciding that he's going to retire 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:14.400 and allow Trump in the next twelve months to replace 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.679 Justice Thomas. Now, I don't you know, it's going to 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.800 be a harder replace Justice Thomas with somebody that is 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:25.680 of that caliber and that kind of truly conservative constitutional 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:32.440 constitutionally sound approach, but it might be a good idea. 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.800 Get that Supreme Court really conservative. I mean, we should 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.800 just go all in on this. This notion of the 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.200 era of pretending like we're all going to agree on 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.000 a centrist Merritt Garland like candidate. That's a that's a 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.640 laugh because the centrist always go for the Libs and 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.760 we know this. I can't even trust, we can't even 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:52.800 trust John Roberts. You mark my words. Before Trump's administration 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:57.520 is out, John Roberts is going to deal a crushing 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.480 blow to constitutional concern Britism with at least one, if 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.320 not a couple of decisions where you sit there and say, 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.720 has this guy been reading out of the communist manifesto? 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.640 What is his problem? But I'm telling you he's an 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.320 institutionalist more than he's a conservative, So you can expect 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:15.560 that to happen. All right. I got a little more 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:16.960 on the Pelosi Trump for you, and I know we're 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.160 running out of the time. I've got updates on the 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.680 Covington situation. I'm going to talk to you about the 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.560 truth of the back and forth over Trump China trade. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:27.160 We've got to talk to you about a gun case 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.080 Second Amendment guncase out of New York City with big implications, 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.880 going to make fun of the media, Gonna have roll call. 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:37.080 I've got a phenomenal guest, by the way, on immigration 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.600 coming up in the next hour. He worked out at 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.600 the border as a process in the border region as 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.480 a prosecutor, and man, he's got some great stuff to 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:51.360 tell you about. That's all coming up together. We'll make 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:55.800 America more safe by passing common sense legislation to end 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.840 the epidemic of gun violence. But we will make America 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:03.360 more American by protecting Dreamers and TPS recipients. We will 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:08.080 make America more just by protecting people with pre existing conditions, 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.600 expanding access to healthcare and lowering the price of prescription drugs, 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:17.160 and defending Medicare and Medicaid. And we will strengthen our 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.760 democracy by passing the Equality Act, that is an act 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:26.760 to end discrimination against LGTB community. And that's a Greens. 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:32.240 It's really a shame what's happening with the Democrats. They've 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:37.320 become radicalized. They don't want to see crime stuff, which 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.800 we can very easily do on the southern border. And 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.760 it really is a shame what's happening with the Democrats. 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.680 This will go on for a while. Ultimately, the American 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:47.640 people will have their way because they want to see 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.760 no crime. They want to see what we're doing, like 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.480 today we lowered prescription drug prices first time in fifty is. 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.640 They want to see that. The Democrats would never have 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.600 been able to do that. So we're all working very hard. 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.800 We'll have to respond to it, will respond to it 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:05.800 in a timely matter. Thank you very much, everybody. I 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.600 like this. I like that we get to hear the 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:14.560 different agendas. This is politics. You've got Nancy Pelosi who's 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.879 just mumbling some nonsense about common sense gun reform. You know, 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:19.800 if it's so common sense, you shouldn't have to say it. 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:26.200 You know that, that to me is a tell. When 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:27.719 as Trump is saying that, you know, he's got an 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:29.680 agenda that he wants to follow through on and things 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:34.600 that would be really beneficial for the American people. Ultimately, 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:36.680 Pelosi knows that none of her agenda is going through. 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.199 It's not happening. Trump won't allow that to happen because 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.359 he thinks that her ideas are bad. And I think 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.800 her ideas are bad, but I do think that it's 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:46.800 important for them to be aired out in front of 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:48.600 all of the at least the American people who are 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.040 paying attention to this. For those Americans who avoid carring 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.879 about politics, I envy them. That's a nice that's a 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.000 nice thing. I guess a political junkie, you can't help it. 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:02.280 But the shutdow down is going to be a real 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.040 test of wills here. The heat is definitely going to 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:09.760 get turned up as you have people going longer without paychecks. 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.000 Although I would also know that Pelosi has made it 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.080 very clear she doesn't. You know, this is what Democrats 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.480 do all the time. They pretend to care so much 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.119 about the little guy or little gal who's in a 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.320 rough place and you know, not getting their paycheck. But Pelosi, please, 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.960 she's gonna she's gonna jaunt off on her boondoggle overseas. 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:27.800 She got she Pelosi got better things to do than 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.400 worry about the TSA employees. I'll be honest with you. 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.080 In her own mind, at least she thinks she does. 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.840 So this Karen, so much about the little guy is 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.040 one of the Democrat's favorite ploys, and it's so full 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.880 of it. Yeah, Nancy Pelosi, she's the everyman or every 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.040 woman Ah Covington, we got to do that. It's coming up. 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:51.560 Why didn't you walk away? Well, now, I wish I 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.520 would have walked away. I didn't want to be disrespect 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.760 phot to mister Phillips and walk away if he was 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.600 trying to talk to me. What do you think that 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:03.680 look like? I see it as a smile saying that 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.480 this is the best sure you're going to get out 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.679 of me. You won't get any further reaction of aggression, 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.040 and I'm willing to stand here as long as you 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.440 want to hit the strong in my face. There's something 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:20.040 aggressive about standing there, standing your ground. You both stood 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:24.840 your ground and it was like a stair down. What 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:27.720 do you think of that now when you think about 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:31.399 that moment, Oh, I would say, missr philis Head is 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.240 right to come up to me. I had my right 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:40.240 to stay there. Our school was slandered by the African 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:45.440 Americans who had caught us all sorts of things. Savannah 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:51.800 Guthrie is a classic mainstream media hack. Nothing. You know, 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.720 she looks the part, she sounds the part. She's played 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.800 the game at NBC or whatever, and now this is 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:01.000 somebody that we're supposed to take seriously. Reasons I don't know, 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.800 doesn't have any expertise than anything. Wasn't a great wasn't 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.679 a great journalist at a newspaper, doesn't write, doesn't you know? 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.080 It's just she's a she's a TV presenters, basically an actor, 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:18.000 and she obviously takes the most popular left of center 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.800 view she can on any issue, always right. And I've 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.600 seen enough of her stuff to know that this is 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.160 her stick. It's it's like the Matt Lauer stick, which 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:27.639 she used to obviously work with an NBC. You know, 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:33.360 this is what these broadcast news hosts do. They try 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.920 to find a way to seem like they're being fair, 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.440 but it's always a little always a little skewed, isn't 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:43.600 it to the other side, always pretty clear that they're 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.879 really not interested in being down the middle. And you 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:51.520 saw that in this exchange. I mean, she's saying, there's 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.679 something aggressive about standing your ground. Why is that aggressive 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.800 if somebody walks over to you, which is what Phillips did. 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.200 Remember this is Nick Sandman, who was the Covington High 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:05.720 School student who was captured in the most clear footage 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.120 of him is up close where he's with this guy 0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:13.800 Phillips um, Why does Nick salmon, have a dude, Is 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.280 he supposed to run away because a guy walks over 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:18.080 to him and starts banging a drum in his face? 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:22.600 That that's so? It's so it's not. Isn't that an 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.600 interesting way to think about this though? The way that 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:26.920 Savannah Guthree frames this. First of all, she's talking to 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:29.240 a fifteen year old kid. Okay, he's now doing a 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:33.359 national news interview, and and she she's you know, don't 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:36.760 it's aggressive for you to stand there? No. I think 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.920 people would would argue that it's it's insane to think 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.760 that he's supposed to run away. He didn't mean this 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:44.840 man any harm, He wasn't he had no aggressive And 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.440 then the guy walk up to him banging his drum 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.280 in his face, and he just looked at him aggressive. 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:54.000 You might say it's defensive, which I think is understandable 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.400 in the circumstances. But to suggest that there was an 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:05.159 aggression in this um, it's it's bizarre. Really. I think 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:08.159 it's a very strange thing for Guthrie to ask him. 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:10.159 But you understand she's she's trying to make sure that 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:14.520 her mostly live audience thinks that, you know, she's representing 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.680 their view of how he should be questioned. Well, I 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:20.920 want to know when Phillips is going to be asked 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:22.679 any questions. And I want to know when the Black 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:26.280 Israelites who were present will be asked some questions. Where 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:30.360 is the Oppo research on them? When? When do journalists 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:34.159 asked the adults, including the adults who were yelling anti 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:38.800 gay slurs, racist slurs, threatening the students, and just generally 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.760 acting like maniacs. And everyone knows that the Black Israelites 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:45.639 act this way. I've I have heard the Black Israelites 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:48.040 up close and personal. Have you ever have you ever 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:51.119 heard them Brandon? I'm assuming probably many times just in 0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:56.240 the video? Sure, I mean so you've heard them right, yeah, yeah, 0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:57.920 on the street in New York there they sit in 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:01.520 Times Square and they yell crazy things at people, really belligerent, 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:05.879 nasty things. So when, but when do they have to 0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:09.520 answer any questions about their conduct? Why do we take 0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:13.199 this position? Why is the assumption automatically that it is 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:17.920 you know, Nick Sandman's issue, It is his problem that 0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:19.240 he has to be the one to deal with this. 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:22.800 He's the fifteen year old kid. But there's more of this, 0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:27.720 there's more of this where Guthrie just makes it quite 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:31.919 clear as well that you know, there's some of the 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:35.439 responsibility here is just the Trump support that's part of 0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:38.600 this play three. Do you think if they weren't wearing 0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:42.840 that hat, this might not have happened, or it might 0:23:42.880 --> 0:23:46.040 have been different. That's possible. But I would have to 0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:49.480 assume what mister Phillis was thinking, and I'd rather let 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:53.960 him speak from why he came up to your kid's 0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:56.760 doing very well. I would not, you know, knowing, you know, 0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:58.840 don't put words in someone else's mouth. I mean, he's 0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:02.280 I saw today criticism from people in the media about, oh, 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:07.680 he's obviously had PR teaching on this. Of course he has, 0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:12.160 you know. And please does anyone think that that Sandra 0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:16.919 Sandra Fluke when she was making the rounds, or that 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:19.800 David Hogg when he was making the rounds, that they 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:25.280 didn't have immense PR and media assistance and help from 0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:28.600 the left wing apparatus that rallies to young people when 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.160 they find it convenient to do so for political purposes. 0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:35.719 Of course, of course that happened. But she asked him 0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:38.520 if it's if it's the fault of the MAGA hat, 0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:42.920 and there's a bit of a something a little freudying 0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:46.639 about this, because really, this is why when you and 0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:48.919 you add that on to the fact that these are 0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:52.240 all mostly white students from a school that is a 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:57.040 Catholic institution, and they had just marched for life and 0:24:57.200 --> 0:25:01.320 they are autumn, all those things are stose strikes against 0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:03.080 these students in the eyes of the media. They are 0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:07.800 they just are. I won't get into this, you know, 0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:10.439 later we'll talk about priests and some of the priests 0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:13.119 that have weighed in on this issue. I just I 0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:15.640 don't understand how you can be a Catholic and vote Democrat. 0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:19.560 I really mean, I just don't get it. You know, 0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:23.640 it's the church teaching on abortion could not be any 0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:26.600 more clear. And yet, I mean, the Democratic Party the 0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:29.720 one thing you have to be to be a Democrat. 0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:32.880 No no choice, no wiggle room, nothing. There's no big 0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:35.520 tent for pro life in the Democratic Party. It does 0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:38.320 not exist anymore. And people who pretend that they are 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:43.399 part of it's a fraud. Wants someone Pelosi wants is 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:45.680 to be able to abort a baby, you know, when 0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:47.480 it's out of the womb. I mean, it doesn't even 0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:50.399 matter that they're just they are savage on this issue. 0:25:50.920 --> 0:25:53.440 And I don't understand how a Catholic can be okay 0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:58.040 with that. I just I don't. But and I know 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:00.480 many of you who are listening, who or of other 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.720 denominations also feel that way about you know, whether you're 0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:07.359 a Protestant or' an evangelical UM. But it's it's really 0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:10.560 mind boggling to me. But they don't like these kids 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:12.840 because of all this. They don't like those kids. They 0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:16.000 don't like these kids for those reasons. And then of 0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:20.119 course they have to take what they're the conclusions that 0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:23.320 they jumped to, the media jumped to. They have to 0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:25.719 ask those questions of these kids, as though that's a 0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:29.280 reasonable or rational thing for anyone to think. There's nothing 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:31.720 racist about what these kids did. There's nothing racist that 0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:34.800 they said, there's nothing racist in their in their actions. 0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:37.800 They didn't ask for this, they didn't instigate this, and 0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:40.840 they didn't do anything. So why are they being asked 0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:46.120 questions like they did? Um? Play a clip two here? 0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:49.480 Do you think it was a good idea to start 0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:54.760 chanting back at the protesters And the hindsight, I wish 0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:58.080 we had just found another response to wait for buses. 0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:03.760 But at the time, being positive seemed better than letting 0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:07.119 them slander us with all of these things. So I 0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:10.720 wish we could have walked with Did anyone shout any 0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:16.119 insult back or any racial slurs back at the group? 0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:23.280 We're a Catholic schooling. It's not tolerated. They don't tolerate racism, 0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:27.800 and none of my classmates are racist people. I mean, 0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:29.720 I can tell you this, if anyone in my Catholic 0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:32.119 school had yelled at a racial slur, they would have 0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:36.040 been lucky if they didn't get expelled. So, and it's 0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:39.600 this idea, I mean, think about what the media imbeciles 0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:41.639 really think here. Think about Savannah Guthrie. You know, if 0:27:41.640 --> 0:27:44.080 they're multibillion dollar contract to go on TV to do 0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:46.040 a job that a thousand other people could do better, 0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:52.040 but you know, NBC brass likes or whatever. Think about 0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:56.639 what they're suggesting here that at this school for boys 0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:59.920 in Kentucky, somebody could just casually throw out some racial 0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:03.520 There were adults present. There were you know, I'm not 0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:06.879 hall monitors, what do you call them, well, chaperones. There 0:28:06.920 --> 0:28:10.280 were all monitors. They're ready to take action. Skillsness, sir, 0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:13.840 do you'll have a pass? No, but there were adults present, 0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:18.199 and they that never would be okay. There is no 0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:22.879 school in America, no Catholic school in America, to be sure, 0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:26.680 where you could yell out racial slurs at adults strangers nearby, 0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:29.199 and the adults that are there monitoring you would not 0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:32.639 have had an absolute fit over it, and rightly so. 0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:35.720 But just notice that they're getting it. They're asking these questions. 0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:38.000 I mean, this is I mean, Savannah Guthrie is essentially 0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:41.959 asking the kind of questions that in a different context 0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:43.920 people would say. So, you're just asking if their skirt 0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.120 was too short? Huh. I know their boys, but you 0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:48.000 get what I'm saying. You know, you're just asking, you know, 0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:51.920 were you asking for it? That's what they thrust of 0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:55.840 this interview with Guthri. I mean, it's it's appalling. It's 0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:59.200 appalling people are doubling down in the media after they've 0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:02.920 been exposed is idiots and frauds on this question. I mean, 0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:06.360 that's why it's such a national news story still. I 0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:08.120 think it's still the biggest news during the country right 0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:11.320 now other than the shutdown. People are really talking about 0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:15.680 this because the media just does not learn their lesson 0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:18.680 and what you realize is that they don't even care. 0:29:19.480 --> 0:29:22.040 They don't care if they get this stuff wrong. They 0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:25.920 have an agenda. They are there to serve a purpose. 0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:30.600 They're there to support, to bolster a point of view 0:29:30.920 --> 0:29:34.720 and use their platforms to do that, and to shut 0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:39.640 down and shout down people that are oppositional to that agenda. 0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:42.120 People like you and me. We're at least almost all. 0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:44.200 I always gotta remember their Democrats listen to you guys, 0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:45.600 do write me. Sometime I was like, I'm a Democrat 0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:47.600 and I like your show. Yeah, send me some Democrat 0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:51.240 messages on Facebook. I like hearing from the stealth Democrats. 0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:53.040 I'm not going to out you Democrats to listen to 0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:56.360 the show. It's cool. You're welcome. Welcome to Team Buck Democrats. 0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:59.560 We're slowly but surely bringing you into the light. It's 0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:01.880 a good thing. We will be back with a little 0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:05.240 more on this Covington update situation, so stay right there. 0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:09.640 I was docked three separate occasions before we posted that video, 0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:14.760 and the threats they've been horrible that I've never heard 0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:20.000 such cruel things wished upon another human being, who ranges 0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:23.080 from getting locked inside of building and burned alive to 0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:30.000 sexually assaulted by the clergy members. It's just awful. This 0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:34.200 is what's happening to these kids. Their private information is 0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:38.080 being put online and people are finding them and reaching 0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:42.560 out them online or however they can. It's saying the 0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:44.840 most horrific things to them. And I have to bring 0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:46.960 this back to this just shows you that the left 0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:50.960 is insane because the reason people hate these kids is 0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:53.880 because of their political beliefs. It is because they are 0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:57.560 progressives who believe all this stuff that they're being told 0:30:57.600 --> 0:30:59.400 about the world is ending in twelve years because of 0:30:59.440 --> 0:31:04.720 climate change, and all ethnic minorities in America are deeply oppressed, 0:31:04.960 --> 0:31:08.880 and essentially white people in America have to make huge 0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:11.880 amends for all the terrible stuff that they're still doing. 0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:16.560 And white male patriarchy is the root of all evil 0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:20.680 in this country. I mean, they believe that stuff. They 0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:24.240 believe that, and so that's why they would then act 0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:30.760 in such completely horrific and insane fashionist threatened kids who 0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:36.360 didn't even do anything. I saw today a thread of 0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:38.880 different and this is all in the you know, the 0:31:38.920 --> 0:31:41.959 online battles that are being waged among the blue checks, 0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:45.000 which you all know is just verified journalists on Twitter, 0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:48.800 but sometimes I'll use blue checks as a shorthand. But 0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:50.600 the Blue checks were fighting about this, and people were 0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:55.920 saying they're trying to draw comparisons between these the Covington 0:31:56.040 --> 0:31:59.680 kids and Trayvon Martin, and I'm like, wait, what I 0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:02.200 actually she heard somebody on Fox News, somebody who I 0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:05.440 know and actually on a personal level, like and I 0:32:05.520 --> 0:32:07.200 won't name her now because I don't want you guys 0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:09.520 to yell at her on Twitter, but she said, you know, 0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:12.240 well you look at Trayvon Martin, and Barack Obama said, 0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:13.640 you know, that would have looked like my son and 0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:15.200 how people and I'm like, wait, why are we talking 0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.560 about Trayvon Martin. Trayvon Martin was a six foot tall, 0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:21.160 one hundred and eighty pound eighteen year old who was 0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:25.000 trying to pound somebody's head open on the pavement and 0:32:25.160 --> 0:32:27.000 just happened to be tangling with a guy who was 0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:30.120 a concealed carry permit holder, a weirdo and not a 0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:32.480 good guy. I'm not you know, Zimmerman's not somebody that 0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:34.680 anybody should you know, think he's a hero or a 0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:37.080 good guy. But you know you're gonna back somebody's head 0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:38.880 in the sidewalk. They got a gun, They're gonna shoot you, 0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:41.400 And that's what happened. I just and I'm hearing this. 0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:44.840 I saw some kind of like a third tier pundit. 0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:46.240 I can't remember his name, and I wouldn't say it 0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:49.320 if I could, but over at MSNBC, and this tweet 0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:55.080 went megaviral, I mean, like over one hundred thousand retweets 0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:59.720 and shares and or retweets and likes, and it was 0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:05.440 something along the lines of, you know, white teenager acts badly, Um, oh, 0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:10.000 he's just a kid, Black black teenager acts badly, or 0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:13.000 you know, he's no angel. And I believe it was 0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:17.920 in a reference to Treyvon the Treyvon Martin discussion. But 0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:22.480 even if even if it wasn't, I'm just these kids. 0:33:22.760 --> 0:33:24.720 Why is this all of a sudden a reflection of 0:33:24.800 --> 0:33:29.840 people's you know, racial politics, you know, whatever they think 0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:33.240 the country's racial politics may be. The kids didn't do anything. 0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:38.840 There was no racial incident except for the black adults 0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:42.560 present who were yelling racial slurs at the kids, and 0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:44.400 by the way, yelled the racial slur at a black 0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:46.840 student who was with the Covington kids, which I can't 0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:50.479 repeat on air. But Why do we even talk about 0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:54.960 this like it's some kind of like there was The 0:33:55.040 --> 0:33:58.480 only incident was the media lying about it. But there's 0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:01.840 still this hope. They're still they're so grasping it. Maybe 0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:05.160 there was something they wore. Those maga hats who maga 0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:08.680 hats are, They're triggering for libs. They can't handle it. 0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:11.520 The only people who have suffered here. I would note 0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:15.000 also the adults aren't getting death threats. Meaning Phillips, who 0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:17.719 by the way, did not serve in Vietnam, refers to 0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:23.279 himself as a Vietnam Times Vet. I'm sorry, but if 0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:25.239 you're a VET, you're a VET. God bless and thank 0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:28.120 you for your service. No one should be lying about 0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:30.319 what they did in any job. And to say you 0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:33.040 are a Vietnam Times VET and have the whole media 0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:36.480 saying you're a Vietnam VET has a very specific implication. 0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:40.120 The guy was, from what I understand seeing the records today, 0:34:40.520 --> 0:34:44.319 in a riflry unit for two days state side and 0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:49.160 then served as a refrigerator mechanic. Now logistics people totally honorable. 0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:50.800 I'm not putting that down at all. I'm just saying, 0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:54.640 you know, you don't run around I can tell you 0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:56.560 this from a CIA side. I'm not pretending that I 0:34:56.600 --> 0:34:59.239 was doing dead drops and you know, smuggling people out 0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:03.239 of the country on enduring black ops with unmarked helicopters 0:35:03.239 --> 0:35:07.600 and stuff. No, that's the way that I conduct myself 0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:10.120 in the CIA or about my background. The CIA try 0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:12.080 to be honest about it all the time. I just 0:35:12.120 --> 0:35:15.040 expect people to be honest. That guy's not honest. But 0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:17.600 you know, they're not getting any threats, they're not having 0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:19.360 anything bad happened to them. But here's more of what 0:35:19.400 --> 0:35:21.879 happens to the Covington's dudents, Play five. There have been 0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:25.360 many threats against our lives, against our parents. Some of 0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:28.400 these threats include that we should all be locked in 0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:31.200 the school and sen burnt to the ground, the school 0:35:31.239 --> 0:35:38.400 being bombed, school shooting threats. It's really scary, people threatening 0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:41.759 to bomb and burn down the school. The kids didn't 0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:45.520 do anything. The media and the adults that were president 0:35:45.640 --> 0:35:49.000 this encounter, they're the ones that people should be asking 0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:51.520 some really tough questions too. And you know what, we 0:35:51.560 --> 0:35:53.560 all know that's not going to happen. When do you 0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:57.040 want to spot that burglar when he's actually doing a 0:35:57.160 --> 0:36:00.279 casing of your home, or when he's already broken in. Well, 0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:04.000 ask John because his Blink camera alerted him to burglars 0:36:04.000 --> 0:36:06.200 trying to break in while he and his family were home, 0:36:06.719 --> 0:36:09.759 or Shannon, who's Blink camera caught a thief stealing packages. 0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:12.840 Both times, Blink video clips were sent to police to 0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:16.880 help convict the crooks. Blink motion activated indoor and outdoor 0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:19.279 cameras are wire free, set up in minutes, and run 0:36:19.320 --> 0:36:22.640 on two double A batteries that last up to two years. 0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:25.239 And if you're traveling, Blink's Live feed option lets you 0:36:25.280 --> 0:36:27.560 monitor your home and check in on pets from anywhere 0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:33.160 using the Blink smartphone app. No contracts, no subscriptions, totally affordable, 0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:36.520 and Blink works with Alexa.

Visit blink protect dot com slash Buck. 0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:49.040 That's blink protect dot com slash Buck one more time, 0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:52.799 b L I n K protect dot com slash Buck. 0:36:53.040 --> 0:36:55.800 Blink is an Amazon company. I'm a gas that he 0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:58.160 voted for a border barrier several times in the past, 0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:00.280 but he doesn't vote for one now I'll be because 0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:02.200 he does not want to give President Trump a win. 0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:06.200 He's putting his political hatred this president over his responsibility 0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:08.440 to protect this nation. He don't need the government reopen 0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:11.400 to negotiate the people at the negotiating table. They're getting 0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:14.040 paid and the Democrats are proposing bills. I reviewed one 0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:16.800 this morning. They want to cut icy tension beds in half, 0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:20.160 which will double the moment catch release, which shows again 0:37:20.200 --> 0:37:23.080 the Democrats are not serious about border security. They want 0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:25.600 open borders, and their bills at their proposing right now 0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:31.080 support that ideology. There you have the former acting director 0:37:31.160 --> 0:37:34.600 of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement saying on National TV what 0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:36.120 I've been saying to you all along, which is that 0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:39.200 the Democrats will not say it, but all of their 0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:44.400 actions point toward they want a state of near open borders. Effectively, 0:37:44.560 --> 0:37:47.279 they do not want illegal immigration to end. It is 0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:50.960 not correct to say that they agree or they share 0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:53.560 our long term goal here. And a major part of 0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:57.279 this is the conversation over the wall. They say that 0:37:57.320 --> 0:38:00.840 walls don't work. That is a stupid been talking point. 0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:04.799 It is untrue. It is obviously untrue. And I told 0:38:04.840 --> 0:38:07.920 you about what's going on at the Tijuana San Diego 0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:11.080 border wall because I was there last week. I want 0:38:11.080 --> 0:38:14.040 to bring somebody who brings another perspective of where the 0:38:14.080 --> 0:38:17.680 wall has worked and how it has worked. Matt Pinsker 0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:20.400 joins US now. He wrote a piece for National Review 0:38:20.480 --> 0:38:23.720 called my Attention, walls work, just ask this community college 0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:26.600 on the southern border. Matt, thanks so much for joining us, man. 0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:28.799 I appreciated your peace and National Review. By the way, 0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:32.440 you're a prosecutor by trade, right well, I was a 0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:35.680 special procesure. I'm actually working now as a defensive train. 0:38:35.719 --> 0:38:37.760 That's really what I do at Hearts is a special 0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:39.880 assignment called up by the Army and assigned to the 0:38:40.000 --> 0:38:43.680 Justice deployment for six months as on the border, handling 0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:48.640 cases thousands of criminal cases for of illegal entry as 0:38:48.640 --> 0:38:52.680 well as cartel activity. When my deployment up, I returned 0:38:52.680 --> 0:38:55.040 home and reopened my wall practice to in criminal defense. 0:38:55.120 --> 0:38:57.840 I spent from one side back to the other. All right, cool, 0:38:57.960 --> 0:38:59.680 So I wanted to talk. I wanted to ask you 0:38:59.680 --> 0:39:03.840 about what you write right on with this piece. Laredo 0:39:03.920 --> 0:39:07.919 Community College solved its illegal immigration problem with an eight 0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:10.400 foot tall, mile long fence set the scene a little bit. 0:39:10.440 --> 0:39:12.520 What do we need to know about Laredo Community College 0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:16.480 where it's located? Why do we why does this come up? Absolutely, 0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:19.959 Laredo Community College is a very picturesque, very beautiful cost 0:39:20.040 --> 0:39:22.720 campus that it first looks like any other college in America, 0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:26.400 very scenic, and unique to it is that is situated 0:39:26.480 --> 0:39:29.759 literally just one hundred one hundred and fifty yards from 0:39:29.800 --> 0:39:32.399 the Rio ground itself, that it is literally right there 0:39:32.719 --> 0:39:35.799 on the border. And just like everywhere else on the 0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:39.560 border around town, they're having problems with illegal immigration and 0:39:39.640 --> 0:39:42.680 cartel activity, which are actually one and the same. But 0:39:43.640 --> 0:39:45.920 multiple times a week they're being phone calls all illegal 0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:49.160 immigrants going through campus. Usually they left people live, but 0:39:49.239 --> 0:39:53.000 there were reported to solve best and other problems. Of course, 0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:56.160 border patrol would chase them through campus. You imagine if 0:39:56.160 --> 0:39:58.359 you're a place of work, multiple times a week you're 0:39:58.360 --> 0:40:02.279 having law enforcement chases of shoots through campus. But yeah, 0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:05.640 even if there wasn't an additional crime, I think it's 0:40:05.719 --> 0:40:08.239 understandable for people that are going to college to have 0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:13.280 the cops chasing down illegals actually right on the campus. 0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:15.920 That might put some people on edge and also there 0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:17.759 are safety risk if the cops have to travel at 0:40:17.840 --> 0:40:19.400 high speed in a car. And I mean there's stuff 0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:22.359 that goes on and here's all really skiff set people 0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:25.160 on edge, the cartels, the blood there see people who 0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:27.880 like isis put up videos of them hacking people apart. 0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:31.240 They were conducting major truck drug transactions on the college 0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:34.680 campus's tennis courts and parking lot. I mean, that's obviously 0:40:34.719 --> 0:40:38.239 a threat to student safety. And what do you fix this? 0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:40.080 Do you put an end to this? They erected just 0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:43.120 a one mile border fence, not at all. It is 0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:45.719 a simple eight foot tall fence. I've been a tall 0:40:45.719 --> 0:40:49.879 fence about just eight but brought iron black posts. They 0:40:50.000 --> 0:40:53.120 split them in just one mile on link and overnight 0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:56.920 it went to practically zero. Is with the illegal immigration 0:40:57.600 --> 0:41:00.800 or cartel activity on campus and it's the other side 0:41:00.800 --> 0:41:02.719 of it. People say, oh, they'll just go around it. 0:41:02.960 --> 0:41:04.800 Well yes, when they go around it, though, creates a 0:41:04.920 --> 0:41:07.040 choke point for a border, but for all to line 0:41:07.040 --> 0:41:09.560 and wait, it redirects its funnels them into a choke point. 0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:11.600 Or if they do try to go over it or 0:41:11.680 --> 0:41:14.280 under it again, it flows them up a couple of minutes. 0:41:14.680 --> 0:41:17.120 But all border patrol needs is a couple extra minutes 0:41:17.120 --> 0:41:20.480 to arrive in time. I mean cameras, motion detectors. The 0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:22.279 only work if you can arrive in time to get 0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:25.080 to stop them. And so many times you know there's 0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:28.480 out on patrol with you, a supporder patrol, and we respond, 0:41:28.520 --> 0:41:30.759 but we couldn't get there in time to stop them 0:41:30.880 --> 0:41:33.400 because a couple of minutes. Talk to anyone in law 0:41:33.480 --> 0:41:35.319 enforce and they'll tell you that they have just a 0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:37.360 two to three extra minutes of response time for a 0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:40.480 situation that'll make all the difference in the world. And 0:41:40.520 --> 0:41:42.920 that's where the fence said. It worked great, and why 0:41:42.920 --> 0:41:45.800 can't the rest of America have the same protection and benefits. 0:41:45.800 --> 0:41:48.319 There's a commune call its What do you think when 0:41:48.600 --> 0:41:53.440 you hear people it's still on TV. You'll have supposedly 0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:57.799 serious journalists talking heads another say walls don't work. Did 0:41:57.800 --> 0:42:01.719 you think that they're just engaging in actively dishonest propaganda 0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:04.000 or they just don't know, or because it's just it 0:42:04.080 --> 0:42:06.000 seems so obvious. And there are all these stories. I 0:42:06.120 --> 0:42:09.480 was at San Diego, you're talking about Laredo, these fences 0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:10.880 that have been up, and maybe we should all just 0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:12.840 start calling it a fence. Now, so people stopped freaking 0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:16.520 out about a wall. They've proven themselves. I just don't 0:42:16.600 --> 0:42:19.000 understand how we're still even how it's still even an 0:42:19.000 --> 0:42:22.560 open question, never mind a talking point for Democrats to 0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:25.640 say we shouldn't do more of this. You know, I 0:42:25.640 --> 0:42:28.719 agree to one hundred percent, like arguing is the earth 0:42:28.840 --> 0:42:31.160 is round or flat? And maybe the best way to 0:42:31.160 --> 0:42:33.120 look at it is you know, one third of Americans 0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:36.360 think nine levels inside job. Well, a third of Americans 0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:39.359 think that the new landing was a hoax. Maybe that's 0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:41.960 just the best place to put it. You know, just 0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:46.480 some people, despite all logic, commonsense and reason, think very 0:42:46.520 --> 0:42:49.839 bizarre positions. And you know that's being charitable. I think 0:42:49.840 --> 0:42:53.080 some people are just being deceptively dishonest. Look at Stevens 0:42:53.080 --> 0:42:56.040 from Schumer from nine years ago and President of Rock 0:42:56.040 --> 0:42:58.000 Obama as well, for him when he was in office 0:42:58.080 --> 0:43:01.520 supporting the wall. Now, I think suddenly flip flops. Come on, 0:43:01.880 --> 0:43:04.160 I don't believe that they actually change their mind about that, 0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:06.400 not for a second. Now, So you were down there 0:43:06.480 --> 0:43:09.240 on the border, and you were working for the government, 0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:13.000 and that role you said as a prosecutor, working alongside 0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:16.400 law enforcement. What do you think about this? You know, 0:43:16.640 --> 0:43:20.920 one of the new I shouldn't say talking points, one 0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:22.160 of the new issues that's come up in the last 0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:25.400 couple weeks. If people say, well, okay, fine, the opioid 0:43:25.400 --> 0:43:28.200 crisis is terrible, we all have to read is terrible. 0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:30.800 It's a it's a national scourage, it's an epidemic. Seventy 0:43:30.800 --> 0:43:34.160 thousand plus people, you're dying. But but but all the 0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:36.799 drugs are coming through ports of entry, so a fence 0:43:36.840 --> 0:43:39.080 doesn't matter. I mean, I just my response to my 0:43:39.120 --> 0:43:42.440 initial response is, first of all, we should do whatever 0:43:42.480 --> 0:43:44.759 we can to make it harder for the cartels in 0:43:44.840 --> 0:43:47.440 general to do what they're doing, including the fencing. So 0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:50.960 anything that raises the cost of doing business and raises 0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:52.799 their failure it is good mine or just to know 0:43:52.800 --> 0:43:55.200 what they're talking about. The reason I can say that 0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:57.440 is I saw with my own eyes because I personally 0:43:57.480 --> 0:44:00.839 handled pieces where people, Yes, sometimes they through three ports 0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:02.600 of entry, other times they try to sneak it across 0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:06.480 other ways. So give an example, we had a case 0:44:06.520 --> 0:44:09.560 involving about three hundred pounds of marijuana that was being 0:44:09.560 --> 0:44:13.440 stuck across the river of you know, over a private 0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:16.560 Leo Ranch. Obviously that's not a ports of entry, and 0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:19.400 that's uh, you know, quite a lot of marijuana coming across. 0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:23.680 Or another example, the Mexican cartels abducted a guy at 0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:26.959 the bus station Laredo and after they beat him a little, 0:44:27.040 --> 0:44:28.880 they dragged him to the border, held a gun to 0:44:28.960 --> 0:44:31.399 his head after and put drugs on him and told 0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:35.200 him to cross the river into America. So the people 0:44:35.200 --> 0:44:36.919 who are saying that they only you know that comes 0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:39.480 across the ports of entry, that's as false. Now, we 0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:42.880 probably catch a lot coming in reports of entry, and 0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:45.160 that's because that's where the law enforcement has said off. 0:44:45.160 --> 0:44:47.160 That's what I keep saying to people. We don't catch 0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:49.319 a truck that goes over the border that no one 0:44:49.360 --> 0:44:53.680 sees exactly it's fresh. I mean, no one knows exactly 0:44:53.680 --> 0:44:57.160 what's coming over. We have some guesses and estimates. But 0:44:57.520 --> 0:44:59.640 the fact that people are making cleans about you know 0:44:59.640 --> 0:45:03.080 what we you can't detect, that's just ridiculous. What do 0:45:03.120 --> 0:45:05.080 you think about the presidents as somebody who was down 0:45:05.120 --> 0:45:07.680 there and actually worked on this onboard of security in 0:45:07.680 --> 0:45:10.800 a professional fashion, what do you think about the President's 0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:13.839 proposal from this past weekend? Pretty on the security side. 0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:16.719 Forget about doctor pretty good to the Democrats. It is 0:45:16.760 --> 0:45:21.680 extremely generous and if under any other circumstances any other president, 0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:24.200 they'd have jumped on in a heartbeat. In fact, that 0:45:24.320 --> 0:45:26.600 some deal I would normally have expected a Democrat to 0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:28.839 offer to the Republicans. Do you get the deal through? 0:45:29.480 --> 0:45:31.880 I mean, it's it's for everything that they've asked for, 0:45:32.320 --> 0:45:36.600 and then some of you know, I just cannot believe 0:45:36.680 --> 0:45:40.479 that politics are so polarized that they're just not going 0:45:40.520 --> 0:45:42.000 for something that's such a good deal, not just for 0:45:42.080 --> 0:45:44.120 the Democrats, but it's good deal for America. Though. Do 0:45:44.160 --> 0:45:46.560 you have that sense directed When were you down there 0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:49.880 by the way, and what was the roughly speaking, you know, 0:45:49.960 --> 0:45:52.200 day in and day out, how many illegals were crossing 0:45:52.239 --> 0:45:56.440 in your sector? Sure, so I was sounder in twenty eighteen. 0:45:56.480 --> 0:45:59.800 My deployment ran from July three December, so six months 0:46:00.239 --> 0:46:03.959 you were just down there's a tdy, Oh yeah, got 0:46:03.960 --> 0:46:05.919 that got home for my deployment a few weeks ago, 0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:11.600 and any given day I was prosecuting seventy five to 0:46:11.640 --> 0:46:14.160 two hundred people for illegally and three in America the 0:46:14.200 --> 0:46:17.040 prior day. But here's the real catch. We think we're 0:46:17.120 --> 0:46:20.680 actually only one in three people coming across illegally. Again, 0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:23.400 we don't know what we don't catch, but that's our 0:46:23.440 --> 0:46:25.840 best estiment is rolling catchy one in three. So that 0:46:25.920 --> 0:46:28.640 meant any given day we're having anywhere from maybe two 0:46:28.680 --> 0:46:31.000 hundred and fifty two over six hundred people you're easily 0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:34.080 crossing the border in my sector alone. My sector is 0:46:34.120 --> 0:46:36.520 just a scratch maybe eight percent of the border. If 0:46:36.600 --> 0:46:39.040 that much, this is fascinating. I mean, you had a 0:46:39.080 --> 0:46:41.800 one in three catch rate. You know. San Diego sector 0:46:41.960 --> 0:46:43.520 thinks that they have a nine out of ten catch 0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:46.520 right now because they have full fencing along their entire 0:46:46.560 --> 0:46:48.960 sixteen mile quarter except for a part of it that 0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:51.799 is very rugged. I mean, the terrain is hellish to 0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:54.280 try to get through geta and there are some places 0:46:54.280 --> 0:46:57.080 where a fencer physical barry doesn't make sense because of 0:46:57.160 --> 0:46:59.399 the terrain. But where it does make sense, let's put 0:46:59.480 --> 0:47:02.160 up and here's here's the other part. If we just 0:47:02.200 --> 0:47:05.160 have a ten percent increase in catches across the border 0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:07.640 overall over a ten year period, that's one point two 0:47:07.640 --> 0:47:10.120 million people that would be started from entering. That's an 0:47:10.120 --> 0:47:13.759 a sense where it's only ten percent effectiveness. Can you 0:47:13.920 --> 0:47:15.360 tell me one thing I don't know what is So 0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:19.160 you are a special a federal special prosecutor at the 0:47:19.200 --> 0:47:21.719 border at how does that work? What is that? I've 0:47:21.719 --> 0:47:24.840 never heard of that before? So well at the boarders 0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:28.960 to us of a description nothing official special prosecutor is 0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:32.160 well as a special assistant US attorney as a see 0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:39.000 just in a USA assistant US attorney. The difference, especially 0:47:39.040 --> 0:47:43.360 a special prosecutor or a special assistant US attorney justings 0:47:43.360 --> 0:47:46.279 you're not a regular member of that office, so as 0:47:46.280 --> 0:47:49.600 your listeners may recall. In April twenty eighteen, just Sessions 0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:53.279 announced zero tolerance raw cases of illegal entry into Mario 0:47:53.400 --> 0:47:56.600 would be prosecuted. Now that the reason that was a 0:47:56.640 --> 0:47:59.719 big deals because previously, although entering the USA legally was 0:47:59.719 --> 0:48:03.560 a it was rarely prosecuted. Instead of being handled by 0:48:03.560 --> 0:48:06.080 the Justice Department as a criminal matters, people are just 0:48:06.200 --> 0:48:08.839 deported under catch and release to say okay, we catch 0:48:08.840 --> 0:48:10.560 you coming over and here's your ticket to appear in 0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:14.400 immigration court. In over ninety percent never showed up. So 0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:16.640 they announced the walls on the books. Doesn't matter if 0:48:16.640 --> 0:48:18.719 you agree or disagree with it. The walls on the 0:48:18.760 --> 0:48:21.799 books we're going to enforce it and prosecute people. Now 0:48:21.800 --> 0:48:24.879 that sounds great, it's good common sense, but look, it's 0:48:24.960 --> 0:48:28.320 not what makes sense. It's what your logistics allow. And 0:48:28.480 --> 0:48:31.760 the Justice Department didn't have enough people to prosecute. For example, 0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:33.640 in my area at this nance, say of two to 0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:36.560 twelve new cases to be prostituted every day, it was 0:48:36.600 --> 0:48:39.799 sometimes over one hundred or two hundred. So Matthew, matt, 0:48:39.840 --> 0:48:41.680 this is fascinating. Can we get a quick break and 0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:43.319 come back? I got a couple more questions I really 0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:44.399 want to ask you. Can you give us a few 0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:47.960 more minutes? Absolutely? All right. We're talking to Matt Pinsker 0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:50.680 about his piece up on National Review Walls work. Just 0:48:50.719 --> 0:48:52.799 asking this community college on the southern border. We're coing 0:48:52.840 --> 0:48:55.080 a covering a lot of terrain here. We'll be right back. 0:48:55.520 --> 0:48:57.960 You're probably familiar with the AARP. It's a really well 0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:00.759 known organization. But what's not nearly as well known is 0:49:00.800 --> 0:49:04.200 that the aarps pretty left wing. They fought tooth and 0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:06.640 nail for a government run healthcare system, and they wanted 0:49:06.680 --> 0:49:11.680 the passage of Obamacare. So that's why I recommend AMAC. Okay, 0:49:11.680 --> 0:49:16.480 try AMAC instead of AARP. AMAC was founded by an 0:49:16.520 --> 0:49:21.000 Air Force veteran and supports conservative causes across the board. 0:49:21.400 --> 0:49:24.200 Over one point five million Americans have already joined AMAC. 0:49:24.280 --> 0:49:26.960 That number is growing and they're getting all the benefits 0:49:27.000 --> 0:49:29.920 that you'd expect from an organization like this, including discounts 0:49:29.960 --> 0:49:33.960 on insurance, hotels, roadside assistants, dental plans, all kinds of 0:49:34.000 --> 0:49:37.880 good stuff. And they know AMAC is standing for freedom 0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:41.680 and the America that you want. So try the conservative 0:49:41.719 --> 0:49:44.600 alternative here. Become a member of AMAC today. The benefits 0:49:44.600 --> 0:49:47.600 are great, the cause is even greater. Join right now 0:49:47.640 --> 0:49:54.400 at AMAC dot us slash buck. That's AMAC dot us 0:49:54.400 --> 0:49:58.120 slash buck. All right, So we're back with Matt Pinsker 0:49:58.200 --> 0:50:00.640 here talking about his piece and National Review. He was 0:50:00.800 --> 0:50:05.560 just back in twenty eighteen a special federal special prosecutor 0:50:06.320 --> 0:50:08.880 acting as an AUSA, but he was down at the 0:50:08.920 --> 0:50:14.200 part of the Texas border. Matt, you know, you've touched 0:50:14.200 --> 0:50:15.799 on so many things here, and I just was with 0:50:15.840 --> 0:50:18.399 San Diego Border Patrol last week. So this is an 0:50:18.400 --> 0:50:20.040 area of heightened interest for me, and obviously it's why 0:50:20.080 --> 0:50:22.319 we got the shutdown. Right now, soever, everyone's curious about 0:50:22.320 --> 0:50:23.839 this stuff. I've only got a few minutes. A few 0:50:23.840 --> 0:50:25.319 things I want to ask you about, though. One is 0:50:25.520 --> 0:50:29.960 you mentioned prosecutorial resources. I asked Border Patrol this, and 0:50:30.000 --> 0:50:32.560 I think it's fascinating the answer they gave me. I said, 0:50:32.560 --> 0:50:35.600 wait a second, if you have, as they do, people 0:50:35.640 --> 0:50:38.000 in their thirties claiming to be teenagers so that they 0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:40.879 can be considered an unaccompanied minor, that's actually happened there 0:50:41.560 --> 0:50:43.960 isn't that Or people claiming that a kid is theirs 0:50:43.960 --> 0:50:46.600 when the kid is not actually a family member, aren't 0:50:46.600 --> 0:50:50.680 they covered under one zero zero one? Isn't that lying 0:50:50.719 --> 0:50:55.200 to a federal official about government business that matters or not? Well? 0:50:55.640 --> 0:50:57.480 At once I had to double check the code. That 0:50:57.560 --> 0:50:59.160 can't go off the top of my head on that one, 0:50:59.200 --> 0:51:01.279 but I can't sit is that, Yes, it is a 0:51:01.280 --> 0:51:04.640 little crime to why to federal law enforcement. However, we 0:51:05.360 --> 0:51:08.600 never prosecuted anyone for that because we didn't have the resources. 0:51:09.040 --> 0:51:11.480 And again, if people didn't enter guilty police, then we 0:51:11.600 --> 0:51:14.880 might have done that. But generally everyone, you know, cases 0:51:14.880 --> 0:51:17.759 are open and shut once they realize they're busted, and 0:51:17.800 --> 0:51:21.440 we just letting go this way, If everyone who we 0:51:21.480 --> 0:51:24.040 could charge with a felony was charged with the felony, 0:51:24.239 --> 0:51:26.000 the sired system would grind to a halt. We just 0:51:26.000 --> 0:51:29.320 couldn't do it. I mean, that's why the Army I was, 0:51:29.640 --> 0:51:32.560 I'm an Army judge as getting the Army reserves and 0:51:32.600 --> 0:51:34.920 as assigned to the Justice Department. That's why I have 0:51:35.000 --> 0:51:37.960 a special prosecutors you know, soone from outside the normal office, 0:51:38.560 --> 0:51:41.080 just to help with the work overflow and the overload. 0:51:41.120 --> 0:51:43.520 While they could hire some more people, but even then 0:51:43.560 --> 0:51:47.480 the numbers are so overwhelming, so crushing. That's about for 0:51:48.200 --> 0:51:51.600 every for every case we did prosecute as a felony, 0:51:51.800 --> 0:51:53.840 they're over a hundred that we just did into We 0:51:53.920 --> 0:51:56.960 chose not to for lack of resources. We wanted to. 0:51:57.040 --> 0:51:59.239 And the prosecutors I work where they were outstanding top 0:51:59.280 --> 0:52:02.880 of the why law enforcement or greats. They're dedicated. But 0:52:03.000 --> 0:52:07.120 we're just so overwhelmed and overworked that we actually cut 0:52:07.200 --> 0:52:10.960 deals like that offer misdemeanors instead of felonies. Were else 0:52:11.000 --> 0:52:13.040 in the country people get toelonies, but we had to 0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:17.680 do misseenors. Absolutely offered. So this is fascinating. I want 0:52:17.680 --> 0:52:20.680 to also ask you. I asked and they this was 0:52:20.719 --> 0:52:22.960 you know, off the record, a non attribution and effect, 0:52:22.960 --> 0:52:24.719 but I did ask some border patrol guys. I said, look, 0:52:24.880 --> 0:52:27.959 you guys are telling me numbers here, like last year, 0:52:28.360 --> 0:52:30.799 one hundred thousand roughly I think it was ninety six 0:52:30.800 --> 0:52:32.640 thousand is the actual number. But it's close to one 0:52:32.719 --> 0:52:36.439 hundred thousand family units showed up at the border. Less 0:52:36.480 --> 0:52:38.759 than one percent of them have been deported. Okay, So 0:52:38.800 --> 0:52:41.920 that means that one hundred thousand roughly family units, which 0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:44.160 has got to be a couple hundred thousand people just 0:52:44.320 --> 0:52:47.200 got into the country and are going to stay, not 0:52:47.360 --> 0:52:50.160 show up for their hearings, adding to the illegal population. 0:52:50.320 --> 0:52:52.160 I asked Border patrol, the guys who've been doing this 0:52:52.200 --> 0:52:54.440 for some of them fifteen or twenty years, said, do 0:52:54.480 --> 0:52:56.719 you believe the number is still eleven million after all 0:52:56.760 --> 0:52:59.560 this time, given what you're telling me and what's going 0:52:59.600 --> 0:53:01.040 on year in year out, do you believe the nubers 0:53:01.040 --> 0:53:03.920 eleven million? They laughed and said, absolutely not, but no 0:53:03.920 --> 0:53:06.439 one wants to hear that. What do you think, Oh, 0:53:06.480 --> 0:53:09.279 I agree hundred percent. You know, seeing the numbers, it 0:53:09.280 --> 0:53:12.080 just doesn't make sense that it's only eleven million. I mean, 0:53:12.120 --> 0:53:14.840 we've been told it's eleven million for twenty years now. 0:53:15.000 --> 0:53:17.400 It has to be much higher than that. I think 0:53:17.400 --> 0:53:19.520 that studies. Yeah, they said twenty to by the way, 0:53:19.600 --> 0:53:22.080 they said twenty to thirty is what they would guess, 0:53:22.360 --> 0:53:25.480 and I said, okay, that's that sounds about right. Twenty 0:53:25.480 --> 0:53:27.839 to me sounds about right. And I think they're right 0:53:27.880 --> 0:53:31.400 as well. It's unfortunate and people are saying this doesn't exist, 0:53:31.520 --> 0:53:34.960 isn't a problem, but they're wrong. Yeah it does. I say, 0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:37.640 as someone who literally lived on the border, worked from 0:53:37.680 --> 0:53:41.840 border security, personally prosecuted cases. I hate hearing politicians and 0:53:41.960 --> 0:53:45.240 DC saying that we're making the suffer, we're inventing it. 0:53:45.280 --> 0:53:47.520 But the entire time I was down there, not a 0:53:47.600 --> 0:53:50.719 single congressman sat in the courtroom where I was prosecuting 0:53:50.760 --> 0:53:53.399 over one hundred cases a day. Do they not care? 0:53:53.560 --> 0:53:55.719 Do they not want to know? I mean, if a 0:53:55.880 --> 0:53:57.840 military commander, they didn't get out there in the field, 0:53:57.880 --> 0:54:01.080 they inspect their troops, they participate in feel operations. Yet 0:54:01.200 --> 0:54:04.919 you have the bureaucrats and politicstans DC they even bother 0:54:05.040 --> 0:54:08.640 to make the trip. That's what really sickens me that 0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:12.000 it's astonishing. Man. Well, look, I so appreciate Matt getting 0:54:12.000 --> 0:54:14.440 your perspective. I didn't I really liked your peace on 0:54:14.800 --> 0:54:17.919 what happened at Laredo Community College. I didn't even realize 0:54:17.960 --> 0:54:20.439 that you had been down there in this past year 0:54:20.719 --> 0:54:23.279 in so that just you know, the fresh perspective what's 0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:26.719 going on is so very helpful. Um, thank you first 0:54:26.719 --> 0:54:28.360 of all, thank you for your service, and thank you 0:54:28.400 --> 0:54:30.400 so much for joining us here on the show. Was 0:54:30.440 --> 0:54:33.520 really really instructive. Thank you so much for having me 0:54:33.600 --> 0:54:38.640 appreciate depth you need to share. So nashreview dot com folks, 0:54:38.680 --> 0:54:40.000 where you want to check out his pete. I mean, 0:54:40.000 --> 0:54:42.000 I really enjoyed talking to Matt about this stuff. This 0:54:42.080 --> 0:54:44.319 is just what I keep you know, everyone that I 0:54:44.400 --> 0:54:47.400 talked to who knows stuff and I spent I had. 0:54:47.520 --> 0:54:52.040 I had a pretty you know, really in depth call 0:54:52.160 --> 0:54:55.560 today with more sources and immigrations to the customs Enforcement. 0:54:55.760 --> 0:55:00.359 I'm trying to get a piece out on Monday in Hill. 0:55:00.400 --> 0:55:04.040 I'm already working the research. I want the facts out there. 0:55:04.120 --> 0:55:06.360 I want people to know what's really going on. Every 0:55:06.400 --> 0:55:10.360 person who knows the issue in the government, outside of government, 0:55:11.000 --> 0:55:14.160 they all say the same things. We are being scammed, 0:55:14.360 --> 0:55:17.880 the system is overwhelmed. The numbers are way higher than 0:55:17.920 --> 0:55:21.080 anybody realizes. We don't know how many drugs are coming in. 0:55:21.120 --> 0:55:23.360 We don't know how many legals are coming in. We 0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:26.600 know that, you know, the border resources are stretched thin 0:55:26.760 --> 0:55:30.360 right now. And yet you know, you churn on CNN 0:55:30.520 --> 0:55:32.680 or you churn on ABC News and they're like, Oh, 0:55:32.880 --> 0:55:36.799 is the border really a crisis? Yes, you imbecults, there's 0:55:36.800 --> 0:55:40.440 a crisis at the border. I mean, I just I 0:55:40.520 --> 0:55:42.279 kind of get the silliest sometimes I talk to people 0:55:42.280 --> 0:55:44.520 about this. Now, they really think that this is a 0:55:44.640 --> 0:55:47.680 tenable situation. We got hundreds of thousands of people at 0:55:47.680 --> 0:55:51.080 a minimum coming into the country illegally, now hundreds of 0:55:51.120 --> 0:55:55.120 thousands last year alone. I mean, you know, what are 0:55:55.120 --> 0:55:57.319 we We're supposed to pretend it's not happening. Yes, that's 0:55:57.320 --> 0:55:59.359 what the media wants us to do. When I see 0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:01.600 the Make America a Great Again hat now, Chris, I 0:56:01.640 --> 0:56:05.160 am triggered. I'm so triggered. Andre. I think in a 0:56:05.239 --> 0:56:07.799 lot of ways our friendship has been compromised by the 0:56:07.800 --> 0:56:10.120 fact that you continue to support this man. The one 0:56:10.160 --> 0:56:12.960 thing I will say to you, to be absolutely fair, is, 0:56:13.000 --> 0:56:16.040 more than anybody else that I know on this network, 0:56:16.360 --> 0:56:19.000 you will regularly take Donald Trump's to task. I don't 0:56:19.040 --> 0:56:21.279 agree with you on this last point, but this make 0:56:21.320 --> 0:56:25.359 America Great Again hat is just as maddening and frustrating 0:56:25.360 --> 0:56:29.440 and triggering for me to look at as a KKK hood. Wow, 0:56:31.080 --> 0:56:35.760 that's a CNN commentator letting you know what passes for 0:56:36.239 --> 0:56:44.680 political insight and commentary over there, the formerly renowned CNN, 0:56:45.360 --> 0:56:49.160 the network for news coverage, and they're putting people in 0:56:49.160 --> 0:56:50.960 the air who say that wearing a make America Great 0:56:50.960 --> 0:56:53.440 Again hat is like looking at a KKK hood. I mean, 0:56:53.680 --> 0:56:56.359 this is really why stop there? Why don't you say 0:56:56.360 --> 0:56:58.520 it's just as bad as a Nazi swastica, which is 0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:01.040 I think a lot of liberals would say that. I 0:57:01.080 --> 0:57:03.759 don't think that they would shy away from that. But 0:57:03.880 --> 0:57:10.280 when you understand that context about our national discussion right now, 0:57:10.320 --> 0:57:13.759 over all these different issues, it really does make quite 0:57:13.760 --> 0:57:15.680 a bit of sense, doesn't it. You know, when you 0:57:16.480 --> 0:57:20.440 see how much they really do, truly and utterly hate 0:57:20.600 --> 0:57:24.240 the opposition. They don't disagree, they don't want to win 0:57:24.360 --> 0:57:26.920 us to their side. They just actively hate Trump and 0:57:26.920 --> 0:57:29.640 all those who support him. This is why they have 0:57:29.680 --> 0:57:31.560 all the fake news. What we're gonna go due to 0:57:31.600 --> 0:57:34.120 a whole whole fake news rundown in the next segment 0:57:34.160 --> 0:57:38.479 that's going to come t the top ten biggest fake 0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:40.880 news stories are going to be coming your way. It's 0:57:40.880 --> 0:57:43.320 a great, great time. We're gonna have some fun with 0:57:43.400 --> 0:57:48.560 that one. But to say that the AMaGA had is 0:57:48.560 --> 0:57:50.960 like a KKK hood. It's it's a dumb and nasty 0:57:51.040 --> 0:57:54.800 thing to say, but I think it's important that we 0:57:54.880 --> 0:57:57.800 hear it because people do believe this. You also had 0:57:58.480 --> 0:58:02.560 Hakim Jeffries who had this to say about the President 0:58:02.600 --> 0:58:05.040 of the United States play thirteen. We have a headter 0:58:06.000 --> 0:58:17.480 in the White House, the Grand Wizard of sixteen Jim 0:58:17.560 --> 0:58:24.560 Crow maybe dead, he's still got some leads and Grand 0:58:24.560 --> 0:58:27.000 Wizard that's a sitting member of Congress who's sang that. 0:58:28.000 --> 0:58:31.160 You have a sitting member of Congress who was referring 0:58:31.240 --> 0:58:34.920 to the President of the United States as the Grand Wizard, 0:58:35.040 --> 0:58:38.680 the KKK leader of the White House and saying that 0:58:38.720 --> 0:58:43.560 while Jim Crow is dead, he has essentially or while 0:58:43.600 --> 0:58:46.080 Jim Crow is gone, you know, there are relatives of 0:58:46.160 --> 0:58:51.640 Jim Crow who are still in place. And it's such 0:58:51.680 --> 0:58:53.720 a horrible thing to say, and you and I might 0:58:54.400 --> 0:58:57.920 obviously want to just push that aside and ignore it 0:58:57.960 --> 0:59:00.320 and say, oh, you know, they're idiots who say things 0:59:00.320 --> 0:59:03.400 all the time. And you know we can't we can't 0:59:03.400 --> 0:59:07.960 get too deep into all the stupid things. If we 0:59:08.120 --> 0:59:11.479 if we took it upon ourselves to repudiate the dumb 0:59:11.520 --> 0:59:14.160 things that are said on CNN on a regular basis, 0:59:14.160 --> 0:59:16.440 that's all we would do. We just spend all day 0:59:16.520 --> 0:59:21.240 being like, no, no, wrong, false, stupid, untrue. But I 0:59:21.280 --> 0:59:24.600 do think it's something we have to take note of 0:59:24.720 --> 0:59:27.040 that there are going to be people, lots of them, 0:59:27.120 --> 0:59:30.280 who hear a congressman saying that Trump is the grand 0:59:30.280 --> 0:59:33.919 Wizard of the KKK. To hear a CNN contributors say 0:59:34.080 --> 0:59:38.280 or CNN whatever panelists pundit that malga hats are like 0:59:38.400 --> 0:59:46.200 KKK hoods. This is really destructive, it's wildly inappropriate, it's 0:59:46.600 --> 0:59:49.400 deeply disingenuous. And yet this is this is what they 0:59:49.440 --> 0:59:52.960 will do. But then I have to note that there 0:59:53.000 --> 0:59:56.760 are just there. There are sometimes when I look and 0:59:56.840 --> 1:00:02.080 I see what's happening with the Catholic Church on a 1:00:02.120 --> 1:00:05.240 lot of issues recently, but on this one in particular 1:00:05.280 --> 1:00:11.200 of the Covington Catholic schoolboys, and you know, there's this 1:00:11.240 --> 1:00:16.400 guy who goes on CNN father Edward Beck, and I've 1:00:16.440 --> 1:00:19.640 never heard of this guy before. Apparently he's a Catholic priest, 1:00:20.800 --> 1:00:24.560 and he said the following on CNN play clip seven. 1:00:24.920 --> 1:00:28.320 The students acted inappropriately. I was raised at a time 1:00:28.680 --> 1:00:32.480 when we were taught respect your elders with regard the hats. 1:00:33.000 --> 1:00:35.960 The hats that they were wearing. The song called Maga 1:00:36.000 --> 1:00:39.720 hats or make American Great hats come with a certain 1:00:39.960 --> 1:00:43.520 political agenda that, in my opinion, can be seen as 1:00:43.560 --> 1:00:48.120 anti Catholic, anti Christian, because abortion is not the only 1:00:48.280 --> 1:00:52.400 pro life issue. What about immigration and the migrants, what 1:00:52.520 --> 1:00:56.680 about capital punishment, what about the environment and climate change, 1:00:56.840 --> 1:00:59.280 and so by wearing that hat, it's saying that you're 1:00:59.280 --> 1:01:02.720 aligning yourself with the political agenda. The students had no 1:01:02.800 --> 1:01:04.919 right to be wearing that hat were a school hat. 1:01:08.320 --> 1:01:12.360 And look, I know there are some there are some 1:01:12.440 --> 1:01:14.880 great There are obviously lots of great priests out there too, 1:01:14.920 --> 1:01:18.960 in the Catholic Church and lots of different Christian denominations. 1:01:19.880 --> 1:01:24.240 But I don't understand how you can have these Catholic 1:01:24.320 --> 1:01:25.680 priests and he noticed that they'd like to do this. 1:01:25.800 --> 1:01:27.640 Let to skip over, well, I mean, being pro life 1:01:27.680 --> 1:01:31.000 is not no. Actually, if you're a Catholic priest, you 1:01:31.000 --> 1:01:33.560 don't get to skip over that one. You don't get 1:01:33.600 --> 1:01:36.240 to say. You know what, let's ignore, let's ignore the 1:01:36.280 --> 1:01:41.560 fact that New York State, too uproarious applause, just made 1:01:41.560 --> 1:01:46.200 it entirely legal to abort a baby at six months, 1:01:46.240 --> 1:01:50.480 which is well passed the viability phase, or at nine 1:01:50.520 --> 1:01:53.760 months if a medical professional deems it to be in 1:01:53.760 --> 1:01:58.040 the interest of the mother. New York State just passed 1:01:58.080 --> 1:02:03.080 a statue saying that abortion all nine months of her pregnancy, 1:02:03.600 --> 1:02:06.200 which is which is just utterly barbaric and it's murder 1:02:06.240 --> 1:02:09.640 and this is insane. And when they passed this one, 1:02:09.640 --> 1:02:11.360 I would note in the New York State Assembly there 1:02:11.400 --> 1:02:13.400 were cheer. There was cheering and clapping because you know, 1:02:13.480 --> 1:02:16.920 this is such a huge breakthrough for women's rights. This 1:02:17.000 --> 1:02:18.880 is one of these issues where also even if even 1:02:18.880 --> 1:02:21.800 if I'm not able to help sway, although I do 1:02:21.920 --> 1:02:25.000 think we have a duty and an obligation to sway 1:02:25.000 --> 1:02:27.160 as many people as we can on this. But even 1:02:27.160 --> 1:02:29.360 if we don't win, the sense of the Supreme Court 1:02:29.400 --> 1:02:33.120 doesn't come our way on this anytime soon, or we're right, 1:02:33.480 --> 1:02:35.920 and that is what matters. And the people who are 1:02:35.920 --> 1:02:37.480 on the wrong side of this one are going to 1:02:37.520 --> 1:02:41.760 have to always live with the consequences of that, and 1:02:41.800 --> 1:02:44.560 I actually feel sorry for them. But for a Catholic 1:02:44.600 --> 1:02:46.520 priest to come out and be like, yeah, let's skip over, 1:02:47.600 --> 1:02:51.120 let's skip over the life issue and let's worry about 1:02:51.160 --> 1:02:53.840 climate change just goes to show you. I mean, these 1:02:53.880 --> 1:02:57.520 guys are now, these guys are activists in a Roman collar. 1:02:58.160 --> 1:03:04.640 They are progressive, left wing activists. For anyone to be 1:03:04.720 --> 1:03:07.439 in the Catholic Church and see these videos and see 1:03:07.480 --> 1:03:10.480 what happened with these kids and have a problem with 1:03:10.520 --> 1:03:12.880 the kids, never mind to say that a maga had 1:03:13.000 --> 1:03:17.840 is anti Catholic. You know what the heck is wrong 1:03:17.880 --> 1:03:21.800 with some of these priests. It really, it obviously really 1:03:21.800 --> 1:03:24.200 annoys me. Although I will say that this guy known 1:03:24.240 --> 1:03:26.840 as the Bishop of the Internet, Bishop Robert Baron, who 1:03:26.840 --> 1:03:31.000 has one point five million likes on Facebook, said that 1:03:31.040 --> 1:03:35.480 the criticism of the of the Kentucky Covington Catholic High 1:03:35.480 --> 1:03:39.480 School was quote satanic, So at least Bishop Robert Baron 1:03:40.040 --> 1:03:42.960 was making some sense on this one. But I just 1:03:43.040 --> 1:03:47.760 see this, this reaction, and I hate this when the 1:03:47.800 --> 1:03:53.160 forces of anti religious bigotry when the forces of pro 1:03:53.840 --> 1:03:59.000 abortion extremism just bring these priests on TV to use 1:03:59.120 --> 1:04:02.400 them as a kind of trojan horse against their own 1:04:02.440 --> 1:04:04.320 side and to say, oh, well, you know, the right 1:04:04.360 --> 1:04:06.560 and Republicans here, what about migrants, And what about the 1:04:07.400 --> 1:04:09.800 migrants are breaking the law and they're effectively if they're 1:04:09.800 --> 1:04:12.600 in the country illegally stealing property from people. Stealing is 1:04:12.640 --> 1:04:15.720 not not biblical, not okay, they are stealing. They are 1:04:15.760 --> 1:04:18.680 accessing benefits that they do not have the right too. 1:04:19.000 --> 1:04:22.440 Oh it too catholic? Ah, I really, I don't know. 1:04:22.760 --> 1:04:24.840 And don't even get me started on some of these Jesuits. 1:04:24.840 --> 1:04:26.160 Some of them are great, but some of them are 1:04:26.200 --> 1:04:29.160 just and I know Jesuits, some of them are just awful, 1:04:29.720 --> 1:04:32.400 awful on the politics. I don't know what their problem is. 1:04:32.560 --> 1:04:36.640 All right, we'll be right back. People admitted they made 1:04:36.680 --> 1:04:41.600 snap judgments before these other facts came in. But isn't 1:04:41.680 --> 1:04:46.600 that we just instantly say that's what it is based 1:04:46.600 --> 1:04:49.080 on what we see in that moment, and then have 1:04:49.200 --> 1:04:51.760 to walk stuff back when it turns out we're wrong. 1:04:52.000 --> 1:04:55.640 Why is that? Why do we keep making the same mistake? 1:04:56.080 --> 1:05:00.560 Because because we're desperate to get Trump out of office. 1:05:01.120 --> 1:05:05.040 You know, sometimes Joy beiha, because with desperate to get 1:05:05.080 --> 1:05:08.360 Trump out of office. You know, sometimes she really she 1:05:08.440 --> 1:05:10.600 really does speak the truth. I don't think she means too, 1:05:10.680 --> 1:05:12.400 but it kind of comes out of her mouth anyway. 1:05:12.640 --> 1:05:17.680 Because we're desperate to get Trump out. That is true. 1:05:18.560 --> 1:05:22.120 That is why you have had not just the Covington debacle. 1:05:22.160 --> 1:05:25.000 I mean, this really brings it all together, the Covington 1:05:25.120 --> 1:05:28.360 media coverage debacle, the BuzzFeed debacle. In fact, there's a 1:05:29.400 --> 1:05:35.520 very good piece and you know, look Glenn Greenwald buyer beware. 1:05:35.680 --> 1:05:38.800 I mean, Glenn Greenwald is somebody who some of his 1:05:38.920 --> 1:05:41.320 stuff you go, wow, that's he's taking a stance that's 1:05:41.320 --> 1:05:43.720 gonna be really unpopular with the left and he's gonna 1:05:43.720 --> 1:05:45.760 take a lot of a lot of heat from it. 1:05:45.800 --> 1:05:47.960 But he's right. And other stuff you're like, oh my gosh, 1:05:47.960 --> 1:05:52.400 he's just he's just completely excusing. You know, he's making 1:05:52.440 --> 1:05:55.520 excuses for terrorists. I mean, he's you know, you don't 1:05:55.520 --> 1:05:57.200 always know what you're gonna get with him. You know, 1:05:57.240 --> 1:06:00.400 you don't always know what the you know, what the 1:06:00.400 --> 1:06:02.760 circumstances are of what you're gonna get from Glenn Greenwell 1:06:02.800 --> 1:06:04.560 that's for sure. Some things he's terrible and some things 1:06:04.560 --> 1:06:06.400 he's actually really good. I don't know what else to say. 1:06:06.960 --> 1:06:09.400 But he has a piece on The Intercept, which is 1:06:09.400 --> 1:06:12.400 a very left wing site that again I'm telling you 1:06:12.400 --> 1:06:14.240 you can't trust some of the stuff that's up there. 1:06:14.280 --> 1:06:17.960 It's very agenda driven. But it's the ten and I 1:06:18.000 --> 1:06:20.320 should dig into this for a little bit tomorrow. It's 1:06:20.360 --> 1:06:25.920 the ten biggest media disasters in terms of Russia collusion reporting, 1:06:26.440 --> 1:06:30.480 and it's a really solid read because he lays them out. 1:06:30.520 --> 1:06:33.160 I know some others have done this too, but he 1:06:33.240 --> 1:06:38.720 lays them out, and you see that there's just no 1:06:38.840 --> 1:06:47.040 way to explain the giant egg on face disasters that 1:06:47.560 --> 1:06:52.960 have happened from these major media outlets that here the 1:06:52.960 --> 1:06:54.160 piece here, I just want to pull it up for 1:06:54.240 --> 1:06:59.480 the ten most embarrassing worst US media failures on the 1:06:59.520 --> 1:07:06.080 Trump Russia's story. Number ten that rt hacked into and 1:07:06.120 --> 1:07:11.120 took over c Span. Okay, so you had fortune claimed 1:07:11.120 --> 1:07:13.560 that Russia today hacked it, it took over c Span, 1:07:14.440 --> 1:07:17.280 which is pretty pretty astonishing, and it turns out C 1:07:17.440 --> 1:07:21.560 Span was not hacked. Number nine Russian hackers invaded the US. 1:07:21.640 --> 1:07:25.480 I remember the story US electricity grid to deny Vermonter's 1:07:25.520 --> 1:07:29.040 heat during the winter. The Washington Post ran with that. 1:07:29.880 --> 1:07:33.439 It turned out that there was just some malware that 1:07:33.560 --> 1:07:36.600 was at a facility and a Vermont power plant had 1:07:36.680 --> 1:07:39.240 nothing to do with Russia or the electric grid. I mean, 1:07:39.280 --> 1:07:41.960 this is like it was just a tote on. The 1:07:42.000 --> 1:07:47.440 Washington Post ran with that completely utterly nonsensical story, but 1:07:47.520 --> 1:07:51.800 they went with it. Number eight, a new deranged anonymous 1:07:51.800 --> 1:07:55.080 group declare's mainstream political sights on the left and right 1:07:55.120 --> 1:07:59.280 to be Russian propaganda outlets, and Washington Post outs its 1:07:59.280 --> 1:08:05.960 report to claim massive Kremlin infiltration of the Internet. This 1:08:06.040 --> 1:08:09.000 story I remember very well. It was about the more 1:08:09.040 --> 1:08:13.840 than two hundred websites peddling Russian propaganda with a quote 1:08:13.880 --> 1:08:17.800 combined audience of at least fifteen million, and they were 1:08:17.880 --> 1:08:21.600 viewed two hundred and thirteen million times. They say, unfortunately, 1:08:21.640 --> 1:08:24.639 this is from the intercept piece. Those statistics were provided 1:08:24.680 --> 1:08:29.559 by a new anonymous group that reached those conclusions by 1:08:29.560 --> 1:08:34.240 classifying long, long time well known sites from the Drudge 1:08:34.240 --> 1:08:39.120 Report to truth Out and Naked Capitalism, as well as 1:08:39.160 --> 1:08:42.160 libertarian venues such as antiwar dot com and the Ron 1:08:42.240 --> 1:08:49.160 Paul Institute as Russian propaganda outlets. They just basically saw 1:08:49.240 --> 1:08:52.920 somebody online posted a story and this was The Washington 1:08:52.920 --> 1:08:55.960 Post published it saying that two hundred and thirteen million 1:08:56.880 --> 1:09:01.519 million views of Russian propaganda during the election, based on 1:09:01.840 --> 1:09:05.600 yeah prop or NOTTS monitoring report which was provided the 1:09:05.640 --> 1:09:08.760 Washington Post. They didn't know what who proper not was. 1:09:09.120 --> 1:09:11.920 They had no idea as people were. It's just it's 1:09:11.960 --> 1:09:15.519 just not It was just a complete It was fake news. 1:09:15.560 --> 1:09:17.840 This is fake news. We might as well call it 1:09:17.880 --> 1:09:20.280 what it is. Number seven. I mean, this is delicious, 1:09:20.320 --> 1:09:22.599 isn't It's amazing when you get down to it. Trump 1:09:22.640 --> 1:09:27.600 aid Anthony Scaramucci is involved a much is involved in 1:09:27.640 --> 1:09:33.360 a Russian hedge fund under senate investigation. That was July. 1:09:34.080 --> 1:09:37.400 The whole thing was a lie. CNN retracted the story 1:09:37.560 --> 1:09:42.040 and forced three reporters who published it to resign, effectively 1:09:42.120 --> 1:09:45.720 fired three of their reporters because it was such a 1:09:45.840 --> 1:09:52.920 grotesque editorial debacle. Number six Russia attacked US diplomats at 1:09:52.920 --> 1:09:57.439 the Cuban embassy using a super sophisticated sonic microwave. NBC 1:09:57.600 --> 1:10:01.600 News MSNBC all the we're publishing on the neurological. I 1:10:01.600 --> 1:10:03.200 remember people asking me about this, what do you think 1:10:03.200 --> 1:10:05.479 of the neurological brain injury thing? And I was like, 1:10:05.640 --> 1:10:07.519 I don't know. I mean, it sounds bad, but I 1:10:07.880 --> 1:10:11.000 you know, I'm not aware of any special brain injury 1:10:11.000 --> 1:10:13.800 wave weapon that anybody was working on when I was 1:10:13.840 --> 1:10:18.280 in government. Turns out that that story they believe now 1:10:18.640 --> 1:10:26.160 was crickets. A very loud cricket. The Indies short tailed 1:10:26.160 --> 1:10:29.240 cricket was making so much noise that it hurts some 1:10:29.280 --> 1:10:34.960 people's hearing and gave them headaches. That was reported recently 1:10:35.000 --> 1:10:37.519 in the New York Times. The sounds that haunted US 1:10:37.600 --> 1:10:42.800 diplomats in Cuba crickets, according to scientists. Okay, but it 1:10:42.840 --> 1:10:46.919 was a Russian plot. Number five Trump created a secret 1:10:47.000 --> 1:10:51.599 Internet server to covertly communicate with a Russian bank. Slate 1:10:51.680 --> 1:10:55.679 published that false. Totally false. Hillary Clinton, by the way, 1:10:55.800 --> 1:10:59.400 from her official account, shared that piece do you want 1:10:59.439 --> 1:11:01.840 me to keep going? Aren't these amazing? Number four Paul 1:11:01.920 --> 1:11:05.519 Manafort visited Julian Osange three times in the Ecuadorian embassy. 1:11:05.560 --> 1:11:09.960 The Guardian reported on that that's just laughable, laughable. There's 1:11:10.000 --> 1:11:12.920 no way that anybody would be able to go visit 1:11:12.960 --> 1:11:17.160 Julian Assange without security services knowing about it, without am 1:11:17.160 --> 1:11:21.360 I five knowing about it, without London or you know whatever, 1:11:22.080 --> 1:11:26.240 Metropolitan police as well as journalists. But that was a 1:11:26.280 --> 1:11:30.160 bombshell that was just published in November. This is amazing. 1:11:30.760 --> 1:11:33.560 I got a couple more here. Number three, CNN explicitly 1:11:33.600 --> 1:11:36.719 lied about Lanny Davis being its source for a story 1:11:36.800 --> 1:11:40.479 whose substance was also false, that Cohen would testify that 1:11:40.520 --> 1:11:43.679 Trump knew in advance about the Trump Tower meeting. All 1:11:43.800 --> 1:11:46.240 lie and they lied about who the source was to 1:11:46.280 --> 1:11:49.519 protect him and he had lied. Let's see it was 1:11:49.600 --> 1:11:53.799 number two. Robert Muller possesses internal emails and witness interviews 1:11:53.840 --> 1:11:57.200 proving Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress. That was 1:11:57.280 --> 1:12:00.000 the BuzzFeed story. Well, I thought that would be number one. 1:12:00.120 --> 1:12:01.799 What do we have for number one? Now, I'm really curious. 1:12:01.800 --> 1:12:03.920 What's gonna be done at a drum roll? Number one? 1:12:04.120 --> 1:12:08.519 Here it comes. Donald Trump Junior was offered, oh yeah, 1:12:08.560 --> 1:12:11.360 this is a good one, offered advanced access to the 1:12:11.360 --> 1:12:14.720 wiki leaks, email archives. CNN and MSNBC reported on that. 1:12:15.920 --> 1:12:17.200 I mean, I'm sorry, I know I went through that 1:12:17.240 --> 1:12:19.880 whole list, folks, but that's an amazing list. Of those 1:12:19.920 --> 1:12:23.960 are all fake news stories from the biggest news outlets 1:12:23.960 --> 1:12:27.920 in the country CNN, NBC, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, 1:12:28.920 --> 1:12:33.960 fake news like crazy. And you know why they did it. 1:12:34.160 --> 1:12:37.040 You know why it's happening. Joy Behart told us all 1:12:38.200 --> 1:12:41.120 because we hate Trump so much. We have to get 1:12:41.200 --> 1:12:43.960 rid of him. We have to find a way to 1:12:44.080 --> 1:12:46.880 get this president out. If that means lying to people, 1:12:46.960 --> 1:12:51.960 will do it. So there you have it, fake news extravaganza, 1:12:52.320 --> 1:12:55.760 and at least Joy Behar will tell us why there 1:12:55.880 --> 1:12:59.160 is in fact a fake news extravaganza. I think it's 1:12:59.240 --> 1:13:01.720 rather important that we get these details. We've got more 1:13:01.760 --> 1:13:05.519 coming up. Teams, stay with me. The Supreme Court is 1:13:05.640 --> 1:13:11.960 going to review a very very important case when it 1:13:11.960 --> 1:13:14.920 comes to the Second Amendment. This is the first real 1:13:15.360 --> 1:13:18.479 Second Amendment case that will have been heard in ten 1:13:18.600 --> 1:13:22.479 years by Scotus as the cool kids call it. But 1:13:22.840 --> 1:13:24.880 they just agreed on Tuesday to hear this. And it's 1:13:24.920 --> 1:13:27.840 something that is near and dear to my heart, which 1:13:27.920 --> 1:13:30.800 is the gun law in New York City. I mean 1:13:30.880 --> 1:13:32.960 some of the laws regarding guns in New York City, 1:13:33.000 --> 1:13:38.439 specifically whether you can take a handgun. I mean, this 1:13:38.560 --> 1:13:40.240 is crazy. For those of you who live in states 1:13:40.240 --> 1:13:42.200 that actually believe in the Second Amendment, you're going to say, 1:13:43.000 --> 1:13:46.840 or maybe you'll say, Buck, come on, that you must 1:13:46.880 --> 1:13:49.560 have this one wrong. No, No, it turns out that 1:13:49.960 --> 1:13:53.280 this is the case. You can have what's called a 1:13:53.400 --> 1:13:56.880 premise permit in New York City for a handgun now, 1:13:56.920 --> 1:13:58.879 and I know people who have gone through this process. 1:13:58.920 --> 1:14:00.880 I refuse to go through it because it is I 1:14:00.880 --> 1:14:05.560 don't live there anymore. But also it is so onerous, expensive, annoying, 1:14:06.040 --> 1:14:09.360 and there are crazy restrictions on it, like, for example, 1:14:09.920 --> 1:14:13.720 the NYPD has the right now, they don't do this 1:14:13.760 --> 1:14:15.320 all the time, and that's what they always say, Well, 1:14:15.320 --> 1:14:17.280 we won't do that to you unless we have a reason, 1:14:17.560 --> 1:14:19.400 And they say, it's so we can stop people if 1:14:19.439 --> 1:14:22.040 there's a if there's a domestic violence complainer, if we 1:14:22.080 --> 1:14:24.200 have some issue, and you know, we have a little 1:14:24.200 --> 1:14:26.960 more leverage, we can go and do a well visit. 1:14:27.040 --> 1:14:30.400 Based on your ownership of it registered and legal ownership 1:14:30.400 --> 1:14:32.559 of a firearm, they can come to your premise for 1:14:32.600 --> 1:14:36.680 an inspection of how you maintain that firearm. Now, you 1:14:36.720 --> 1:14:40.120 may be saying, Buck, what does that mean, well, in 1:14:40.200 --> 1:14:42.639 New York City, if you have what's called a premise permit, 1:14:42.920 --> 1:14:46.400 which is a permit just to have the handgun in 1:14:46.520 --> 1:14:50.120 your home, it's certainly not a concealed or open carry, 1:14:50.520 --> 1:14:54.360 and there are extreme limitations on where you can even 1:14:54.400 --> 1:14:58.679 take it in the city. But in New York, if 1:14:58.760 --> 1:15:01.080 you are on the list people that owns a gun, 1:15:01.200 --> 1:15:04.200 they can come and want to see your storage of 1:15:04.240 --> 1:15:08.040 that gun. The police can without a warrant, And the 1:15:08.120 --> 1:15:10.320 storage of a handgun has to be get ready for 1:15:10.320 --> 1:15:15.800 this gun with a trigger lock on it in a 1:15:15.880 --> 1:15:22.799 locked box, with ammunition stored separately, also in a locked box. 1:15:23.479 --> 1:15:26.559 So I am not exaggerating when I tell you that 1:15:26.880 --> 1:15:29.920 Second Amendment rights in New York City mean that if 1:15:29.960 --> 1:15:33.120 you hear a bump in the night or your window 1:15:33.800 --> 1:15:37.679 panes get crashed by a prowler or whatever. Prowler, oh, 1:15:37.760 --> 1:15:42.000 a prowler. But if that were to happen, you would 1:15:42.040 --> 1:15:46.920 have three locks to go through, and I think they 1:15:46.960 --> 1:15:49.400 have to be combination locks and not key locks, but 1:15:49.439 --> 1:15:51.680 I'm not sure if that stipulation. I think though it 1:15:51.680 --> 1:15:54.439 has to be combination locks. You have three locks to 1:15:54.479 --> 1:15:57.880 go through before you could have a chambered round in 1:15:57.960 --> 1:16:01.320 your legally owned firearm. Think about that one for a moment. Okay, 1:16:01.360 --> 1:16:03.760 you're like, hold on, a second burglar, what You're gonna 1:16:03.760 --> 1:16:06.439 throw your lockbox at him? Where I'm not ready yet? 1:16:06.479 --> 1:16:10.519 Hold on. So the part of this law, though, that's 1:16:10.560 --> 1:16:14.040 being challenged, is that in New York City, once you 1:16:14.080 --> 1:16:16.120 have gotten your premise. By the way, for those of 1:16:16.120 --> 1:16:17.360 you who are like Buck, we don't care about New 1:16:17.439 --> 1:16:20.080 York this the national implications are going to come from US. Okay, 1:16:20.080 --> 1:16:24.439 So wherever you live, I think reading into this, your 1:16:24.479 --> 1:16:29.480 Second Amendment rights could be I'm hoping very positively affected 1:16:29.479 --> 1:16:30.960 by this one, or at least those of you who 1:16:31.040 --> 1:16:35.160 live in gun restrictive states will be positively affected by this. 1:16:35.960 --> 1:16:40.240 In New York City, the NYPD does not allow you. 1:16:40.840 --> 1:16:46.439 It is illegal to take your legally owned handgun outside 1:16:46.800 --> 1:16:52.160 of the city of city limits. It's effectively a premise 1:16:52.280 --> 1:16:57.640 permit only for your premise that is registered with the 1:16:57.680 --> 1:17:00.360 police Department in New York. So let's say you have, 1:17:00.600 --> 1:17:02.479 you know, a second home or you know, let's say 1:17:02.479 --> 1:17:05.080 you want to go visit Grandpa and you want to 1:17:05.080 --> 1:17:06.720 take your gun to the range up. You know, my 1:17:06.760 --> 1:17:09.519 grandparents had had a home in Hudson Valley for many, 1:17:09.520 --> 1:17:11.960 many years, right, which is about two hours where they 1:17:11.960 --> 1:17:13.840 were about two hours north of New York. You know, 1:17:13.880 --> 1:17:16.040 if you want to go up and visit family and 1:17:16.160 --> 1:17:19.920 bring your legal firearm, you're in the same state, but 1:17:20.040 --> 1:17:23.440 you are not allowed to take your legally owned firearm 1:17:23.680 --> 1:17:27.640 or handgun. It's different for handguns and shotguns, but you 1:17:27.640 --> 1:17:34.080 cannot take your handgun outside of the city. You are 1:17:34.080 --> 1:17:35.720 not allowed to take it outside of this thing. I 1:17:35.760 --> 1:17:38.840 think this makes a stipulation between handguns and shotguns. Again. 1:17:39.120 --> 1:17:42.280 The laws are so complicated about the Second Amendment or 1:17:42.400 --> 1:17:44.640 the destruction of it in New York City that I 1:17:44.680 --> 1:17:47.799 have spoken to police officers and even they get confused 1:17:47.800 --> 1:17:50.320 about I've spoken to detectives with many, many years in 1:17:50.360 --> 1:17:52.800 the job. They're like, yeah, I think you might be 1:17:52.800 --> 1:17:56.519 able to get a hunting exception to the premise permit. 1:17:56.600 --> 1:17:58.960 You know, there's all this other stuma. What am I 1:17:58.960 --> 1:18:01.280 gonna go? You know, you're gonna go take a nine 1:18:01.280 --> 1:18:03.240 millimeter and go squirrel hunting. I mean, I know some 1:18:03.280 --> 1:18:05.439 of you are like, yeah, Buck, that's great. You know, 1:18:05.439 --> 1:18:08.840 I think that that's generally not what people are hunting with. 1:18:09.880 --> 1:18:12.479 But here's why the Supreme Court's taking this up. And 1:18:12.560 --> 1:18:15.639 it's a good thing that they are, because in dcv. Heller, 1:18:16.120 --> 1:18:19.400 it was established that the right to bear arms includes 1:18:20.160 --> 1:18:23.120 the right to bear arms in the home. And what 1:18:23.320 --> 1:18:25.360 that meant was that at the time or what brought 1:18:25.360 --> 1:18:28.000 this up, there was a guy who was licensed to 1:18:28.040 --> 1:18:30.519 carry a firearm as a security guard, and he couldn't 1:18:30.520 --> 1:18:32.320 bring his gun home with him, even though he was 1:18:32.400 --> 1:18:35.920 licensed to own and operate that weapon, but only at work. 1:18:36.000 --> 1:18:37.840 Had to leave it in like a locked box and 1:18:37.960 --> 1:18:40.160 locked locker, couldn't bring it home with him, and he 1:18:40.200 --> 1:18:42.560 wanted to bring it home. You know, why, why is 1:18:42.560 --> 1:18:44.360 he Why is this guy banned from having a gun 1:18:44.360 --> 1:18:46.160 at his home when he's allowed to carry a gun 1:18:46.280 --> 1:18:49.439 for his job. And the Supreme Court said, sorry, the 1:18:49.560 --> 1:18:52.960 right to bear arms includes the right to bear arms 1:18:52.960 --> 1:18:56.880 in common usage in your home. The part of this 1:18:56.960 --> 1:18:59.360 that has not been dealt with yet, as many of 1:18:59.360 --> 1:19:03.200 you I'm sure already know, is what about all these 1:19:03.240 --> 1:19:09.120 prohibitions on the transporting of a firearm or all these 1:19:09.160 --> 1:19:12.400 prohibitions on the carrying of a firearm. You know, in 1:19:12.439 --> 1:19:14.320 New York, the way they have it set up, you 1:19:14.320 --> 1:19:20.760 can only transport in a lockbox your legally owned firearm 1:19:20.920 --> 1:19:23.519 to one of I think seven different ranges in the 1:19:23.560 --> 1:19:26.720 New York City area. Yeah, it's only handguns. By the way, 1:19:26.720 --> 1:19:28.800 I was right about that. It's only handguns that are 1:19:28.880 --> 1:19:33.600 unloaded and locked. And this is just this is just 1:19:33.720 --> 1:19:37.920 anti gun animist. It makes no sense. How is it 1:19:38.000 --> 1:19:40.960 a safety issue for you if you're allowed to have 1:19:41.000 --> 1:19:43.559 the gun in New York City and it's in a 1:19:43.640 --> 1:19:45.800 lockbox and it's in the because that's the way it's 1:19:45.840 --> 1:19:48.280 supposed to be transported. How is it a safety issue 1:19:48.280 --> 1:19:51.120 for you to take that gun with you to you know, 1:19:51.439 --> 1:19:53.920 Westchester or upstate New York. You know, go visit a 1:19:53.920 --> 1:19:57.080 friend in Syracuse. The state government has no problem with it, 1:19:57.120 --> 1:19:59.240 So why should the city government have a problem with it. 1:19:59.280 --> 1:20:03.559 Isn't this an un do restriction? Um. It also means, 1:20:03.600 --> 1:20:05.240 by the way, that if somebody breaks into your home, 1:20:05.280 --> 1:20:07.000 and this is brought up, I believe in the in 1:20:07.040 --> 1:20:12.800 the initial brief that you know, there's the possibility of 1:20:12.800 --> 1:20:15.840 the firearm being stolen, so it's it's safer probably to 1:20:15.880 --> 1:20:17.320 have it with you in the lock box and it 1:20:17.400 --> 1:20:19.920 is just leaving your home. Although we could argue about that. 1:20:20.400 --> 1:20:22.240 But the case the Supreme Court is going to hear 1:20:22.240 --> 1:20:24.200 this case next term. I think you could get a 1:20:24.240 --> 1:20:31.240 pretty sweeping, a pretty sweeping decision that you know, if 1:20:31.080 --> 1:20:35.280 if you legally own a firearm, that means the right 1:20:35.320 --> 1:20:38.360 to legally transport the firearm to any place you are 1:20:38.479 --> 1:20:41.120 entitled to have it within the state where you are. 1:20:42.520 --> 1:20:44.760 This also then raises and I don't know how this 1:20:44.840 --> 1:20:46.479 will fact. So they're going to strike down this New 1:20:46.520 --> 1:20:50.400 York prohibition is idiocy. It is idiocy. Okay, it's been 1:20:50.760 --> 1:20:53.680 and you know, unfortunately the you know in the Bloomberg Are, 1:20:53.760 --> 1:20:57.120 in particular, the anti gun animus and the anti gun 1:20:57.160 --> 1:21:01.280 selts were just running amuck. But this could mean that, 1:21:01.360 --> 1:21:03.320 for the first time in a decade, the Supreme Court 1:21:03.400 --> 1:21:05.920 is going to rule in a way that affects gun 1:21:06.080 --> 1:21:11.599 rights more broadly, and it could get into state reciprocity perhaps, 1:21:11.680 --> 1:21:13.400 I mean, I don't think that'll come up in this case, 1:21:13.439 --> 1:21:17.080 but that's what's on the horizon. Why should a state, 1:21:17.080 --> 1:21:19.280 I mean, this is a constitutionally protected right. If you're 1:21:19.280 --> 1:21:21.280 illegal to have a gun in Florida, how is it 1:21:21.280 --> 1:21:22.760 okay for you not to be legal to have a 1:21:22.800 --> 1:21:26.439 gun in Georgia. This is a federal constitutional right right, 1:21:26.479 --> 1:21:29.720 just like voting. You know, they like to play this game, 1:21:29.720 --> 1:21:31.679 but they act like it's not the Constitution. This actually 1:21:31.800 --> 1:21:34.040 is unlike a lot of things liberals talked on the Constitution. 1:21:34.439 --> 1:21:36.160 And the other part of this is also maybe it 1:21:36.160 --> 1:21:40.080 clears the way for some clarity on open and or 1:21:40.240 --> 1:21:43.840 concealed carry and what that will mean. But being able 1:21:43.880 --> 1:21:46.240 to transport your firearm within this state where you legally 1:21:46.240 --> 1:21:49.559 own it without possibly running foul the cops. Supreme Court's 1:21:49.560 --> 1:21:51.200 taken this one on and it's going to be a 1:21:51.240 --> 1:21:54.439 big Second Amendment case for the next term, so keep 1:21:54.479 --> 1:21:58.240 an eye off for that one. Global Verification Network is 1:21:58.240 --> 1:22:02.439 the only dual certified veteran own background investigation and vetting company. 1:22:02.560 --> 1:22:06.000 I trust these guys, and if you're hiring or if 1:22:06.040 --> 1:22:08.280 you own a property and you need to do that 1:22:08.320 --> 1:22:10.639 background check on a person before you lease it out 1:22:10.640 --> 1:22:12.600 to them, really important you do you want to know 1:22:12.600 --> 1:22:16.160 who you're getting into business with.

We're 1:22:55.160 --> 1:23:01.400 making progress in negotiating on the grandest scale between the 1:23:01.439 --> 1:23:08.439 two countries. Ever, Okay, we're covering everything technology, theft IP, 1:23:09.960 --> 1:23:18.840 forced transfers, family jewels, cyber intervention, commodities, industrial supplies, financial services, ownership. 1:23:19.200 --> 1:23:21.679 Nothing like this has ever been undertaken. This is good. 1:23:22.160 --> 1:23:27.840 Negotiations are good. That was Larry Cudlow, Senior Economic Advisor 1:23:28.479 --> 1:23:31.760 to the President, talking about what's going on with China. 1:23:31.880 --> 1:23:33.280 I got into this a little bit yesterday, but I 1:23:33.320 --> 1:23:36.800 wanted to add some detail and bring in somebody with 1:23:37.120 --> 1:23:39.840 particular expertise on this subject. So we got our friend 1:23:39.840 --> 1:23:42.800 Derek Scissors back in action. He's a residence scholar at 1:23:42.840 --> 1:23:46.000 the American Enterprise Institute, where he focuses on the Chinese 1:23:46.000 --> 1:23:49.519 and Indian economies and on US economic relations with Asia. 1:23:49.600 --> 1:23:53.160 He's also the chief economists of the China Beige Book. Derek, 1:23:53.160 --> 1:23:56.840 could have you back, try to be back all right, So, 1:23:57.160 --> 1:23:59.240 how are we doing right? Yesterday? I just got into 1:23:59.240 --> 1:24:01.920 a little bit of how Chinese economy is actually quite 1:24:01.920 --> 1:24:04.639 a slowdown right now. There's been some talk of maybe 1:24:04.640 --> 1:24:06.800 relieving some of the tariffs from the UF side of 1:24:06.880 --> 1:24:10.240 the US side of things. There's some indications, at least 1:24:10.240 --> 1:24:11.920 in the White House there's progress. But I want you 1:24:11.960 --> 1:24:13.800 to just give it to a straight Derek. How we 1:24:13.800 --> 1:24:17.679 doing in our trade forward with China? Well, let's start 1:24:17.680 --> 1:24:22.320 with the negotiations. The negotiations are purely political, and what 1:24:22.400 --> 1:24:24.280 I mean by that is we're not going to get 1:24:24.360 --> 1:24:27.280 anything of any value from the Chinese before March first. 1:24:27.280 --> 1:24:30.040 It's impossible, right, it's almost the end of January. We're 1:24:30.080 --> 1:24:32.679 talking about huge purchases if they do that, and huge 1:24:32.760 --> 1:24:34.640 changes in the way they do business if they do that. 1:24:35.040 --> 1:24:36.680 So what we're going to get from the Chinese is 1:24:36.720 --> 1:24:40.680 a bunch of IOUs. Their track record on these is 1:24:40.720 --> 1:24:43.160 poor in my opinion, and the President is going to 1:24:43.200 --> 1:24:46.280 have to make a political decision. Do I think they're 1:24:46.280 --> 1:24:48.240 going to keep most of their promises? They're not going 1:24:48.280 --> 1:24:50.559 to keep all of them not on the table. Do 1:24:50.600 --> 1:24:52.360 I think they're going to keep most of them? And 1:24:52.400 --> 1:24:55.080 it's completely going to be on the basis of what 1:24:55.120 --> 1:24:57.040 he thinks their credibility is. That's why I say it's 1:24:57.040 --> 1:25:00.240 a political decision because nothing will happen economically between now 1:25:00.280 --> 1:25:04.439 and then now in terms of go ahead, go ahead, sorry, 1:25:04.439 --> 1:25:06.400 In terms of the economies, I don't think the trade 1:25:06.400 --> 1:25:09.040 war means that much to either economy. We've got a 1:25:09.040 --> 1:25:10.920 shutdown going on in the US, You've got a very 1:25:10.920 --> 1:25:13.599 strong American labor market according to the last Labor report. 1:25:14.040 --> 1:25:15.600 Those are the kinds of things that matter in the 1:25:15.680 --> 1:25:18.320 United States. And in China they've mishandled their banking system 1:25:18.320 --> 1:25:21.000 and that's what's hurting their growth. Yeah. I was gonna 1:25:21.040 --> 1:25:23.719 ask you that. Why is China? They're the biggest slowdown 1:25:23.800 --> 1:25:25.920 since the nineties, right, So people look at that end, well, 1:25:25.920 --> 1:25:29.120 that's that's significant for them. Yeah, I mean that was 1:25:29.160 --> 1:25:33.920 coming anyway. Basically, you know, people get impatient with economics, 1:25:33.960 --> 1:25:36.479 but but big economies like ours and like the Chinese, 1:25:36.520 --> 1:25:38.920 move slowly. The Chinese barrowd a ton of money to 1:25:39.000 --> 1:25:42.320 get past the global financial crisis. They didn't get anything 1:25:42.360 --> 1:25:44.200 useful out of that money. And so when you run 1:25:44.280 --> 1:25:46.519 up a lot of debt, which unfortunately we're also doing here, 1:25:46.920 --> 1:25:49.400 your economy tends to slowdown because you're not you've you've 1:25:49.400 --> 1:25:51.880 wasted money. You're not get any productive uset of that money. 1:25:52.280 --> 1:25:55.320 They also change their lending policies to focus more on 1:25:55.479 --> 1:25:59.280 state banks lending because it's safer. It is safer, but 1:25:59.320 --> 1:26:01.160 state banks don't know how to lend the high risk, 1:26:01.240 --> 1:26:03.680 high reward customers because they've never had to do that 1:26:03.720 --> 1:26:06.360 because they're still owned. And that means China's getting less 1:26:06.360 --> 1:26:08.360 growth out of it. So it's a it's a long 1:26:08.479 --> 1:26:11.160 term credit problem and a short term credit problem. That's 1:26:11.160 --> 1:26:14.080 where by their economy is slowing down. What are the 1:26:14.160 --> 1:26:16.720 chances in your mind that there is some kind of 1:26:16.720 --> 1:26:18.479 a breakthrough here though, I mean, little Larry could Low 1:26:18.560 --> 1:26:21.160 right before we brought you on, we played we played 1:26:21.200 --> 1:26:23.040 his sound bite where he's saying, look, you know, we're 1:26:23.040 --> 1:26:26.280 covering all these different things, intellectual property theft, and you 1:26:26.320 --> 1:26:28.559 know what do you what do you think. I mean, 1:26:28.640 --> 1:26:31.519 is there any is there any reason for optimism that 1:26:31.800 --> 1:26:33.960 there'll be real progress on this stuff or is it 1:26:33.960 --> 1:26:35.759 just going to kind of continue in this It feels 1:26:35.800 --> 1:26:38.559 kind of like a stalemate. Yeah, I think the steemate 1:26:38.640 --> 1:26:41.640 is much more likely. Again, the President is going to 1:26:41.680 --> 1:26:43.799 have to decide if he wants to say I'm trying 1:26:43.800 --> 1:26:46.200 this deal, and then I would like him to be 1:26:46.280 --> 1:26:49.280 very cautious about it. That's not really his style. I'd 1:26:49.280 --> 1:26:50.920 like him be very cautious about it because I've seen 1:26:50.960 --> 1:26:53.280 other people hype deals with the Chinese and hasn't worked 1:26:53.280 --> 1:26:56.719 out that well. If you're a farmer, if you're selling 1:26:56.880 --> 1:27:00.200 energy to China, if you're bowing, I think you got 1:27:00.200 --> 1:27:02.160 a good chance of having a good year in twenty 1:27:02.439 --> 1:27:05.600 nineteen or into two twenty even because I think we 1:27:05.640 --> 1:27:07.559 are going to sell more to China if we make 1:27:07.560 --> 1:27:10.680 a deal. If you're hoping that China doesn't steal your 1:27:10.680 --> 1:27:13.439 trade secrets and that's not just advanced technology, that's just 1:27:13.479 --> 1:27:15.920 what your company does, and or if you're a worker 1:27:15.960 --> 1:27:17.640 in a company that has trade secrets that are at 1:27:17.680 --> 1:27:20.120 risk from the Chinese, that would hurt the company's competitiveness 1:27:20.120 --> 1:27:22.640 and hurt your salary and your job. I don't think 1:27:22.680 --> 1:27:24.559 you're going to get anything out of this. It's part 1:27:24.560 --> 1:27:27.880 of China's economic model to take things from other people. 1:27:27.920 --> 1:27:31.120 That's been true for a while. So if you're selling 1:27:31.120 --> 1:27:33.880 to China, great, If you're trying to compete with China, 1:27:33.960 --> 1:27:38.519 I'm afraid status quo is the most likely outcome now. Also, 1:27:38.640 --> 1:27:42.840 just from a more general perspective, there's been this consensus 1:27:43.320 --> 1:27:45.680 that Trump is starting this, And I say consensus. You know, 1:27:45.720 --> 1:27:47.920 this is just what's magnified in the media. But they 1:27:47.920 --> 1:27:50.000 always say, oh, all the experts agree that Trump's trade 1:27:50.000 --> 1:27:54.720 war is kind of not just fruitless but crazy. It 1:27:54.800 --> 1:27:57.160 sounds like from what you're telling me that well, even 1:27:57.200 --> 1:27:59.320 if it's not a good idea, it's not nearly people 1:27:59.360 --> 1:28:02.400 say trade war, and I think that the implication is often, well, 1:28:02.439 --> 1:28:04.759 trade wars lead to real wars. And you know, there's 1:28:04.840 --> 1:28:08.120 this this fear of what Trump is trying to do 1:28:08.200 --> 1:28:11.400 visa v. China. But even if it doesn't work, Am 1:28:11.400 --> 1:28:14.240 I right in hearing from you that this is not 1:28:14.360 --> 1:28:17.720 the looming catastrophe that people people have been told it is. 1:28:17.880 --> 1:28:20.680 Or is that a misread? No? I think I think 1:28:20.720 --> 1:28:24.360 they're three things, three ways to talk about the trade 1:28:24.360 --> 1:28:26.200 dispute with China. One of them is negative and two 1:28:26.200 --> 1:28:27.920 of them are possitive. Let's start with the first one. 1:28:28.280 --> 1:28:30.439 We should be having a trade dispute with China. The 1:28:30.520 --> 1:28:32.800 President was right as a candidate and he's right as 1:28:32.840 --> 1:28:35.519 president that we have serious problems with China. You hear 1:28:35.600 --> 1:28:37.439 lots of people saying that, but they never did anything 1:28:37.439 --> 1:28:39.920 about it. So you know, when I hear one of 1:28:39.960 --> 1:28:42.800 my colleagues here or a politicians say, well, you know, 1:28:42.920 --> 1:28:45.240 I obviously China is not a great trade partner, but 1:28:45.280 --> 1:28:47.639 I don't like the president way President's doing things, I'm like, okay, 1:28:47.640 --> 1:28:49.400 that's fair, what would you do. A lot of them 1:28:49.439 --> 1:28:51.920 don't have anything. They say nothing, we got real problems 1:28:51.960 --> 1:28:53.400 with China, but they don't want to do anything about it. 1:28:53.439 --> 1:28:56.880 So President gets credit on that score. The second point 1:28:56.920 --> 1:28:59.280 is the point that you brought up. If you talk 1:28:59.360 --> 1:29:02.000 about how the trade at tensions are impact in the 1:29:02.040 --> 1:29:05.920 United States, it's just not very big. Um. You get business, 1:29:05.920 --> 1:29:08.639 you know, groups who are anti trade war, they'll say, oh, 1:29:08.680 --> 1:29:10.720 you know, we lost twenty billion dollars last year to 1:29:10.840 --> 1:29:13.439 the trade conflict. All right, that's not nothing. Don't get 1:29:13.439 --> 1:29:17.280 me wrong. US GDP last year was twenty trillion, so 1:29:17.320 --> 1:29:19.960 that's a thousand times more. We're not, you know, we're 1:29:20.000 --> 1:29:23.560 losing one tenth of one percent of annual economic activity, 1:29:23.960 --> 1:29:26.080 engaging in a conflict we should have engaged in ten 1:29:26.160 --> 1:29:28.680 years ago. So those are the two things where you know, 1:29:28.680 --> 1:29:31.360 the President has been right and the media has been wrong, 1:29:31.400 --> 1:29:33.040 and exactly you know President is right that we need 1:29:33.080 --> 1:29:35.240 to confront the Chinese. The media has been wrong in 1:29:35.840 --> 1:29:38.360 uh in saying this is a disaster for the United 1:29:38.400 --> 1:29:42.040 States because it's not true. And then there was also 1:29:42.040 --> 1:29:43.400 I think a negative that you're going to throw in 1:29:43.400 --> 1:29:46.679 the Still I don't like terroris and I get Matthew 1:29:46.720 --> 1:29:49.600 emails about this whenever I say it. But look what 1:29:49.760 --> 1:29:51.320 I want to do is I want to target the 1:29:51.400 --> 1:29:54.120 Chinese companies who get the most subsidies, because the subsidies 1:29:54.120 --> 1:29:57.000 block American competition with those companies. It makes for the 1:29:57.080 --> 1:30:01.720 famous unlevel playing field, unfair trade. That's Chinese subsidies. I 1:30:01.760 --> 1:30:04.240 want to target those Chinese companies that have received stolen 1:30:04.280 --> 1:30:06.720 intellectual property. In other words, I want to target the 1:30:06.760 --> 1:30:09.799 ones who are doing illegal and harmful things. But tariffs 1:30:09.840 --> 1:30:12.680 target everybody. When we put a tariff, we put a 1:30:12.680 --> 1:30:15.559 tariff on everybody who makes this product coming into the US, 1:30:15.640 --> 1:30:19.280 including a foreign company based in China, including American consumers 1:30:19.320 --> 1:30:22.200 who buy the product. So you know, that's where I 1:30:22.200 --> 1:30:24.680 think the President made a mistake. I understand why I 1:30:24.720 --> 1:30:27.920 did it politically, but I think we're punishing everyone in 1:30:28.000 --> 1:30:30.479 China trade. There are a lot of Chinese companies that 1:30:30.520 --> 1:30:32.800 should be punished, but we're going beyond that, and I 1:30:32.800 --> 1:30:34.800 think that's where the downside. This might be a bit 1:30:34.800 --> 1:30:36.800 of an elementary question, but I don't know, and I 1:30:36.840 --> 1:30:39.880 want to know. Are we able to discern who is 1:30:39.960 --> 1:30:42.680 receiving state subsidies in China? Is that something that we 1:30:42.720 --> 1:30:46.120 have visibility into. Yes, Now are we able to do 1:30:46.160 --> 1:30:48.639 a perfect job of it or know exactly who's received 1:30:48.680 --> 1:30:51.960 stolen trade secrets? No, but we do have. Hey, these 1:30:51.960 --> 1:30:55.000 are the most heavily subsidized companies. We know that. Hey, 1:30:55.080 --> 1:30:59.479 these are examples of companies that receive trade secrets. You know, 1:30:59.520 --> 1:31:01.360 if you're asking me for a perfect list, we cannot 1:31:01.360 --> 1:31:03.439 put together a perfect list. If you're asking me if 1:31:03.439 --> 1:31:07.800 we can target major, important, large Chinese companies and say, 1:31:07.840 --> 1:31:10.479 you guys are guilty either receiving subsidies which make it 1:31:10.880 --> 1:31:15.000 impossible to compete, or about right theft, which is worse. Yeah, 1:31:15.040 --> 1:31:17.160 we can do that, and that's where I would have started. 1:31:17.240 --> 1:31:18.800 And what you know, what you get there is, of 1:31:18.800 --> 1:31:20.760 course the Chinese will try to play a shell game 1:31:20.800 --> 1:31:23.720 and change the companies around who are getting the subsidies 1:31:23.800 --> 1:31:26.400 or who are receiving the stolen ip. But at least 1:31:26.439 --> 1:31:29.400 you're scaring them off the thing that they shouldn't be 1:31:29.400 --> 1:31:31.439 doing if you put tariffs on anyone. If I'm a 1:31:31.520 --> 1:31:34.160 Chinese company that never stole IP and I get a 1:31:34.160 --> 1:31:36.240 tariff anyway, I'm like, well, I might as well steal right. 1:31:36.360 --> 1:31:38.200 I mean, I'm getting punished for all the people who 1:31:38.200 --> 1:31:40.040 did it. Why don't I start doing it. I'm already 1:31:40.040 --> 1:31:42.479 getting hurt by the tariffs. So I think the tariffs 1:31:42.560 --> 1:31:45.120 and the wrong incentives and our partial list of who's 1:31:45.120 --> 1:31:49.679 guilty in China would create the right incentives. Derek scissars everybody, 1:31:49.880 --> 1:31:51.720 and I mean, this is the best way, Derek, you 1:31:51.760 --> 1:31:56.120 actually managed to make trade really interesting. I appreciate that, 1:31:56.400 --> 1:31:59.240 Derek Scissors of AI. Everybody check out of stuff at 1:31:59.240 --> 1:32:01.880 AI dot org. Derek really appreciate it man, glad to 1:32:01.880 --> 1:32:05.160 be on team. Will be right back now. It is 1:32:05.240 --> 1:32:09.920 very rare for me to watch the same topic for 1:32:10.000 --> 1:32:12.640 a documentary twice. But I have to tell you I 1:32:12.800 --> 1:32:17.000 liked the Fire Festival documentary on Netflix so much that 1:32:17.120 --> 1:32:21.240 I went ahead and watched the Fire Festival documentary on Hulu. 1:32:21.840 --> 1:32:23.880 And I find out as I'm sitting here talking to 1:32:23.920 --> 1:32:28.040 you folks that my main man, Brandon DJ Brandon, has 1:32:28.120 --> 1:32:31.559 also at least gone about what Brandon halfway through yeah 1:32:31.640 --> 1:32:35.000 documentary after talking about yesterday, I'm like, what you said, 1:32:35.000 --> 1:32:37.200 Why do I want to watch the same documentary twice? 1:32:37.200 --> 1:32:39.200 But because you said it was better it was different, 1:32:39.479 --> 1:32:41.400 I gave it a chance than I fell asleep. But 1:32:41.439 --> 1:32:43.040 I'll finish it to night. What do you think It 1:32:43.080 --> 1:32:44.360 is a little different, right, It gives you a little 1:32:44.400 --> 1:32:46.920 more of the backstory, more of the backstory. Of course, 1:32:46.960 --> 1:32:49.400 they talk to the main guy, Billy, who does get paid, 1:32:49.600 --> 1:32:51.439 which I think is kind of weird because yeah, but 1:32:51.439 --> 1:32:53.840 they gave they got him to do an interview, and 1:32:53.880 --> 1:32:57.160 you just see what a shady, compulsive liar this guy 1:32:57.280 --> 1:32:59.200 is in real time in the interview. It's pretty amazing, 1:32:59.240 --> 1:33:01.800 it is all he is kind of broken a little 1:33:01.800 --> 1:33:03.880 bit so that, but he deserves it for what he did. 1:33:04.160 --> 1:33:06.040 But they give more of a background into the whole 1:33:06.080 --> 1:33:09.760 millennial thing and how influential, uh, some people could be 1:33:09.920 --> 1:33:13.439 for Instagram and things like that. Yeah, it's amazing. Well, 1:33:13.600 --> 1:33:15.680 I like some of the analysis, and this is what 1:33:15.760 --> 1:33:17.400 for the folks listening who were like, buck stop talking 1:33:17.400 --> 1:33:20.400 about fire festival. Although I'm telling you, if you watch 1:33:20.439 --> 1:33:22.840 the documentary on Netflix or Hulu, you're gonna be it's 1:33:22.840 --> 1:33:26.799 gonna suck you in. The r Kelly documentary A Lifetime 1:33:26.840 --> 1:33:28.760 was also really good. I know I mentioned that, but 1:33:28.840 --> 1:33:33.840 that's really pretty depressing and pretty soul crushing that there's 1:33:33.840 --> 1:33:37.160 somebody who could be so evil and get away with 1:33:37.200 --> 1:33:39.720 it for so long in this country. It's pretty remarkable. 1:33:39.760 --> 1:33:42.240 But it is worth watching this one. Though. You come 1:33:42.240 --> 1:33:44.559 away from you just do you think to yourself, you know, 1:33:44.720 --> 1:33:47.120 we're the first Brandon. I mean, you're you're young, you're 1:33:47.200 --> 1:33:49.640 quite a bit younger than I am, but we're the 1:33:49.720 --> 1:33:54.679 first generation, roughly speaking, that has had this notion of 1:33:54.760 --> 1:33:59.439 the the social media life or the instagrammable life out there. 1:34:00.040 --> 1:34:02.960 And I really do think that it affects people's perceptions 1:34:03.120 --> 1:34:06.080 of themselves and what they want and what they should have. 1:34:06.520 --> 1:34:08.479 You know, now, it's like everyone and they talk about 1:34:08.479 --> 1:34:12.920 this in documentary. Everybody's seeing people who are in their 1:34:12.960 --> 1:34:17.599 twenties looking amazing, and you know all it even puts 1:34:17.600 --> 1:34:19.599 on Instagram as what rand and people on the beach, right, 1:34:19.600 --> 1:34:24.240 They're just everyone's on the beach drinking rose. People, people 1:34:24.280 --> 1:34:26.080 listening to this or like buck, I'm actually out buck 1:34:26.160 --> 1:34:28.160 hunting and like, I'm not at the beach, but you 1:34:28.200 --> 1:34:29.679 know what I mean, you're at the beach too. Sometimes, 1:34:29.760 --> 1:34:32.200 Let's be honest everybody. You know. The point is people 1:34:32.280 --> 1:34:36.080 instagram the best moments of their life and create the 1:34:36.160 --> 1:34:40.040 perception that that is their life when that is not 1:34:40.080 --> 1:34:42.320 their life, right. I mean the people I know who 1:34:42.320 --> 1:34:45.320 are in the selfie game, and I look, I've done 1:34:45.400 --> 1:34:48.080 you know, I've taken with other people. Usually I'm trying 1:34:48.120 --> 1:34:50.599 to just do like random I know media people though, 1:34:50.880 --> 1:34:53.080 men and women who will just be like, hey, I'm 1:34:53.120 --> 1:34:54.920 on set, let me take a photo of myself and 1:34:54.960 --> 1:34:56.920 post it. They do it all the time, and people 1:34:57.000 --> 1:34:59.160 like it. I don't know, Yeah, I don't think if 1:34:59.160 --> 1:35:01.560 you've got other people in the selfie I think, is 1:35:01.600 --> 1:35:03.439 that still a selfie, By the way, isn't it like 1:35:03.479 --> 1:35:07.080 a I remember somebody once said a photo of somebody 1:35:07.080 --> 1:35:10.240 else is called a ue. Um, but what if a 1:35:10.280 --> 1:35:12.200 selfie has more than one person? Shouldn't it be like 1:35:12.280 --> 1:35:15.000 a a delphie or something? You know what I mean? 1:35:15.080 --> 1:35:18.200 A two? Yeah? Two e. Yeah, it's just a picture. 1:35:18.200 --> 1:35:20.760 At a certain point, I can't keep up with the kids. Yeah, 1:35:20.800 --> 1:35:23.479 I can't keep How old are you? I'm thirty five? 1:35:23.720 --> 1:35:25.639 I oh, you're like my age. I thought I thought 1:35:25.680 --> 1:35:29.599 you thirty. You have the bearing of a younger man. 1:35:29.680 --> 1:35:32.400 Thank you. By the way, Oh, you haven't seen it 1:35:32.439 --> 1:35:34.160 because we don't you know you're you're not you're not 1:35:34.200 --> 1:35:36.360 in studio with me right now. Um, I need to 1:35:36.360 --> 1:35:38.799 see because you're a man with a with a legit beard. 1:35:38.840 --> 1:35:41.280 I need you to tell me if you think if 1:35:41.280 --> 1:35:43.400 my beard is going in the right direction. You know, 1:35:43.520 --> 1:35:45.479 did you instagram it? Because I'm looking at it right now. 1:35:45.960 --> 1:35:48.479 You have. I don't think it's I don't think it's 1:35:48.560 --> 1:35:50.559 up on Instagram or see if we're talking with Instagram 1:35:50.640 --> 1:35:52.240 life and I'm like, did you go on my Instagram? 1:35:52.280 --> 1:35:54.360 I just didn't. Yeah, and you have it's from five 1:35:54.400 --> 1:35:56.760 days ago. Your most recent one. No, that's not it's 1:35:56.800 --> 1:35:58.720 it's gotten a bit a bit because I just want 1:35:58.720 --> 1:36:00.080 to know if I look like a tool when I 1:36:00.120 --> 1:36:02.280 go on babe. You know that's really because you know 1:36:02.560 --> 1:36:05.000 you usually I have a three in one rule. If 1:36:05.000 --> 1:36:07.439 three people like something for every one person who doesn't, 1:36:07.439 --> 1:36:10.800 you're usually in pretty good shape. But when it's fifty fifty, 1:36:11.040 --> 1:36:13.040 you know, when people like, look your haircut and it's 1:36:13.080 --> 1:36:15.439 like fifty fifty, that's probably a bad It's probably a 1:36:15.439 --> 1:36:18.000 bad mom. And this is a perfect example of the 1:36:18.040 --> 1:36:21.759 Instagram generation. Here we are two of us, two gray 1:36:21.760 --> 1:36:24.559 beard millennials. I'm actually I actually do have some gray 1:36:24.560 --> 1:36:27.920 in my bed. I saw that? Is that? Is that 1:36:28.040 --> 1:36:32.280 normal that my beard is gray before? Other things are gray? Yeah? 1:36:32.280 --> 1:36:36.160 I get them in weird places, like my sideburns. I 1:36:36.240 --> 1:36:38.439 don't know why. So yeah, the gray is, it's there. 1:36:38.560 --> 1:36:41.880 It's just not coming in like a silver fox yet, 1:36:41.920 --> 1:36:45.000 so it just looks awkward. So yeah, I've got my 1:36:45.040 --> 1:36:46.840 first gray hair. I'm a beard. So now I really 1:36:46.880 --> 1:36:48.840 am a gray beard millennial. But here we are talking 1:36:48.840 --> 1:36:51.960 about Instagram and beards and photos. When you know there 1:36:51.960 --> 1:36:54.000 are clearly there are there are other important things in 1:36:54.000 --> 1:36:57.000 life to be focused on. But the Fire Festival documentary 1:36:57.520 --> 1:37:02.120 does raise some various in questions about what social media 1:37:02.200 --> 1:37:04.400 is doing to all of us and what people value. 1:37:04.520 --> 1:37:07.640 And I will tell you that, you know, it's a 1:37:07.640 --> 1:37:09.840 tool like so many other things, and it can be 1:37:10.000 --> 1:37:15.880 great and it can be a real um really almost 1:37:15.920 --> 1:37:18.559 confine it. You can almost become a slave to social media. 1:37:18.640 --> 1:37:21.679 Because in my business now and Brandon, you have a podcast. 1:37:21.720 --> 1:37:23.760 You know what I'm talking about. You know, you may 1:37:23.800 --> 1:37:26.160 not want to post something ten times a day, but 1:37:26.200 --> 1:37:29.920 the people that are competing with you for eyeballs for years, 1:37:30.600 --> 1:37:32.960 they're posting one hundred times a day. I know exactly 1:37:32.960 --> 1:37:34.400 what you're talking And there are some people in my 1:37:34.439 --> 1:37:36.960 business where I'm like, they're just shameless and they post 1:37:37.000 --> 1:37:40.080 every three seconds, and unless, like I post a little bit, 1:37:40.760 --> 1:37:43.000 I'm just not gonna You know, you know, you lose out. 1:37:43.040 --> 1:37:45.000 I mean, you lose out on opportunities, you lose out 1:37:45.000 --> 1:37:48.080 on audience. So that's a long way of saying, uh, 1:37:48.400 --> 1:37:52.200 you know, check out this. Check out both Fire Festival documentaries. 1:37:52.280 --> 1:38:00.760 All right, roll calls coming up. It's time for roll call. 1:38:10.280 --> 1:38:13.280 Oh yes, it is the roll call party that we 1:38:13.360 --> 1:38:18.679 have all been waiting for Are you ready to rumbo oh? 1:38:18.760 --> 1:38:20.680 By the way, my mom, I should. I'm gonna steal this. 1:38:20.720 --> 1:38:23.519 I'm gonna post this on the Buck Sexton Facebook. My 1:38:23.560 --> 1:38:27.919 mom has a photo here of Tulula, the family frenchie. 1:38:28.000 --> 1:38:30.920 I just took a little screenshot of it in pink 1:38:31.000 --> 1:38:34.840 polar fleece, walking the streets of NYC. I'm gonna have 1:38:34.920 --> 1:38:37.360 to I'm gonna have to share this one. I think 1:38:37.439 --> 1:38:40.680 you guys will realize that we have a very fashionable 1:38:41.080 --> 1:38:44.639 little frenchie in the Sexton family. And it also reminds 1:38:44.640 --> 1:38:46.920 me that I gotta get a dog. But I always 1:38:46.960 --> 1:38:49.280 feel like my family dog is my dog. She says, 1:38:49.320 --> 1:38:53.240 she's a little, a little love bunny. Okay, enough of that. 1:38:53.400 --> 1:38:56.280 I just saw that as I was looking for the 1:38:56.640 --> 1:39:00.280 Facebook page for the show, which I have now too. 1:39:00.640 --> 1:39:04.160 And with that we shall get into all things roll 1:39:04.240 --> 1:39:08.599 call for your listening enjoyment. Like how I stretched these 1:39:08.600 --> 1:39:11.400 things out so I can actually load them up. Adam writes, 1:39:11.600 --> 1:39:15.920 black Panther was vibranium. You made my inner nerd cry 1:39:16.680 --> 1:39:24.360 shields high. That's right. Vibranium unobtanium is the very uncreative 1:39:25.479 --> 1:39:28.160 thing that they come up with for Avatar. That's the 1:39:28.280 --> 1:39:33.360 special substance that the greedy capitalists want in Avatar. Avatar 1:39:33.479 --> 1:39:37.080 is either fern Gully or Dances with Wolves, or both 1:39:37.200 --> 1:39:40.240 a ripoff of either or both of those, depending on 1:39:40.800 --> 1:39:44.040 who you ask. It's definitely a ripoff of Dances with Wolves. 1:39:44.080 --> 1:39:48.160 I mean it's it's just so much of it is 1:39:48.240 --> 1:39:51.800 borrowed from Dances with Wolves. But Adam, you didn't tell 1:39:51.840 --> 1:39:56.280 me if you agree that I'm taking a bold stance 1:39:56.400 --> 1:39:59.599 in favor of all that is good in the arts 1:39:59.680 --> 1:40:02.960 by pointing out that Black Panther is just not a 1:40:03.000 --> 1:40:05.599 good movie, I would. I would offer to you it's 1:40:05.640 --> 1:40:09.679 not in the top five superhero movies of all time. 1:40:09.920 --> 1:40:13.200 And if we are talking about a movie with an 1:40:13.200 --> 1:40:16.960 a movie that is a superhero movie with an African 1:40:17.000 --> 1:40:20.040 American lead, I would tell you that. And I really 1:40:20.160 --> 1:40:23.559 mean this. I think Blade with Wesley Snipes is a 1:40:23.600 --> 1:40:28.799 better overall movie than Black Panther. Blade is really entertaining 1:40:28.840 --> 1:40:31.080 and well done film. I thought it was great. I 1:40:31.120 --> 1:40:33.280 actually owned it on DVD when I was in college. 1:40:33.560 --> 1:40:35.559 So I think Blade is better than Black Panther. I 1:40:35.640 --> 1:40:38.360 know that that's that may be sacrilege to some people. 1:40:38.400 --> 1:40:41.320 But that's just where I come down on it. Timothy writes, 1:40:41.400 --> 1:40:46.960 Buck shields High. This Covington fiasco is a prima fashy case. 1:40:47.240 --> 1:40:50.519 Prima fassy, how do prima fashy? You know, there's so 1:40:50.560 --> 1:40:53.920 many words that I learned from reading and that I 1:40:54.000 --> 1:40:56.439 haven't heard said necessarily. And then I realized, well, I 1:40:56.479 --> 1:40:58.040 know them from reading them, but I don't really know 1:40:58.120 --> 1:41:01.120 them from hearing them. It's a prema fashy case of 1:41:01.120 --> 1:41:05.240 why Dueling needs to be brought back. WHOA, Timothy, That's 1:41:05.960 --> 1:41:09.360 that's pretty intense. Bubba writes, Hey, Buck, I love the show. 1:41:09.479 --> 1:41:14.080 Haven't missed one in over two months, well until less yesterday. 1:41:14.360 --> 1:41:16.880 I'm listening on podcasts with cast box. I thought it 1:41:16.920 --> 1:41:19.040 was fine, but all my other shows download of fine 1:41:19.080 --> 1:41:22.680 yours did not. Please hurry and fix it. I hope 1:41:22.720 --> 1:41:24.920 the Russians had nothing to do with it. I have 1:41:24.960 --> 1:41:29.040 to write a retraction. Never mind, We're good now, Okay, Bubba, Well, 1:41:29.080 --> 1:41:31.920 I'm glad that I'm glad that it wasn't on our end. 1:41:31.920 --> 1:41:34.760 It makes me very sad when people can't listen to 1:41:34.800 --> 1:41:36.960 the show who want to listen to the show, so 1:41:38.520 --> 1:41:40.840 on podcast always let me know if there's if there's 1:41:40.840 --> 1:41:42.519 a problem, and thanks for keeping an eye on it 1:41:42.560 --> 1:41:45.400 and not missing a show in two months. You, sir, 1:41:45.680 --> 1:41:51.040 get a high five. Richard writes Buck, Happy Hoosiers from 1:41:51.040 --> 1:41:55.639 a Yankee man in Southern Land, speaking of your dogs 1:41:55.680 --> 1:41:57.800 in Mexico. Tail. One of the reasons I love John 1:41:57.800 --> 1:42:00.200 Wick is he didn't care if he took his car. 1:42:00.439 --> 1:42:02.920 He didn't care if you robbed him. But they killed 1:42:02.960 --> 1:42:05.719 his dog. When they killed his dog, as Bugs Bunney 1:42:05.720 --> 1:42:08.720 would say, this means war, we meet on the battlefield. 1:42:09.120 --> 1:42:12.160 Except the guard outside the strip club was outside the 1:42:12.200 --> 1:42:15.240 club rather sorry, not serf club. Strip Club. Get your 1:42:15.280 --> 1:42:17.519 mind out of the gutter, Sexton. That was a nice 1:42:17.560 --> 1:42:21.320 touch shield till my friend Scott gets in on this 1:42:21.560 --> 1:42:25.439 party with the following. Dear Buck, regarding your Facebook post 1:42:25.479 --> 1:42:28.160 about Bill o'reiley giving you a hat tip on your column, 1:42:28.560 --> 1:42:30.880 take a second and look back. Brother. You have been 1:42:30.920 --> 1:42:34.840 behind the golden microphone, impressed Glenn Beck enough to have 1:42:34.880 --> 1:42:38.200 a seat at the Blaze, have a show on the Hill, 1:42:38.680 --> 1:42:41.519 and actually had the forty two to say goodbye and 1:42:41.560 --> 1:42:44.760 put CNN in your rear view. Tucker is having you 1:42:44.760 --> 1:42:48.160 on his program frequently, and now Bill o'reiley gives you props, 1:42:48.800 --> 1:42:51.000 you know, Scott, I really appreciate that, man, Thank you. 1:42:51.040 --> 1:42:53.960 It's it's important for those of us who are in 1:42:53.960 --> 1:42:59.040 this crazy conservative media business to be appreciative of the 1:42:59.080 --> 1:43:02.880 blessings and of the breakthroughs. And I really mean this, 1:43:03.040 --> 1:43:04.840 and those of you who have been with me for 1:43:04.880 --> 1:43:07.479 a long time know this. It's because of all of 1:43:07.520 --> 1:43:11.160 you who listen to this show. There were no guarantees 1:43:11.160 --> 1:43:13.320 that anybody would listen to me when I started doing radio. 1:43:13.800 --> 1:43:16.759 We could measure it digitally when I started the Saturday 1:43:16.760 --> 1:43:19.360 three hour show, and we could see that the first 1:43:19.400 --> 1:43:21.479 time I did it, we had people in the teens, 1:43:22.120 --> 1:43:24.559 meaning I had a few dozen that's right, a few 1:43:24.680 --> 1:43:29.760 dozen listeners for my first couple of shows. But thanks 1:43:29.800 --> 1:43:32.840 to the Internet and the word of mouth from those 1:43:32.840 --> 1:43:37.599 initial fans, now we measure this show in the hundreds 1:43:37.640 --> 1:43:40.559 of thousands. I generally don't get too much into how 1:43:40.560 --> 1:43:42.880 many people listen, but we measure the show in the 1:43:42.960 --> 1:43:47.160 hundreds of thousands in terms of listeners. And I am 1:43:47.200 --> 1:43:51.160 hoping within the next two to three years to be 1:43:51.200 --> 1:43:55.320 measuring the show in the low millions. That's my plan. 1:43:55.439 --> 1:43:57.600 But we are already in the hundreds of thousands of 1:43:57.640 --> 1:44:01.400 people who are listening to the show and getting getting 1:44:01.439 --> 1:44:06.840 up near that seven figure mark very close. So it's 1:44:06.960 --> 1:44:09.920 very meaningful, and it is really just a function the 1:44:09.920 --> 1:44:12.240 fact that the people that listen to this show appreciate 1:44:12.240 --> 1:44:13.960 what it is that I try to do and what 1:44:14.000 --> 1:44:16.479 I put into the show every day, and they know 1:44:16.520 --> 1:44:21.360 that a radio show is a special kind of media medium, 1:44:21.520 --> 1:44:24.200 a radio show is a special kind of platform. It 1:44:24.240 --> 1:44:29.360 really is a movement. It really is a community of 1:44:30.360 --> 1:44:34.960 like minded individuals who come together. But thank you very much, 1:44:34.960 --> 1:44:37.320 Scott for your kind words. And it's been quite a ride. 1:44:37.320 --> 1:44:39.719 And you know, I have some people in my life, 1:44:39.720 --> 1:44:42.879 family and a couple of close friends, but mostly family 1:44:43.320 --> 1:44:47.439 who have pushed me on through some really difficult stuff 1:44:47.479 --> 1:44:49.960 along the way. And I've got to say I am 1:44:50.080 --> 1:44:53.080 very blessed. And it has been an incredible eight years 1:44:53.080 --> 1:44:57.840 so far. Alicia writes, I know you are friends with 1:44:58.080 --> 1:45:00.800 se Cup. Have you addressed the fact that she was 1:45:00.840 --> 1:45:04.000 one of the first conservatives to jump on bashing the 1:45:04.040 --> 1:45:08.439 Covington High School kids and helping spread the false narrative. 1:45:08.960 --> 1:45:13.040 I can tell you, Alicia, that yeah, that is true. 1:45:13.080 --> 1:45:15.960 I am still to this day good friends with see 1:45:16.080 --> 1:45:20.160 Cup and I think she is a great lady, a 1:45:20.280 --> 1:45:25.200 great mom and friend, and she is just like the 1:45:25.200 --> 1:45:28.040 rest of us, not perfect. And she got this one wrong, 1:45:28.640 --> 1:45:31.759 as she has very publicly stated now she has done 1:45:31.760 --> 1:45:35.120 a big mia culpa. She shouldn't have gone just based 1:45:35.120 --> 1:45:37.439 off of the video. And I think she got caught 1:45:37.479 --> 1:45:39.360 up in a little bit of the negativity she feels 1:45:39.360 --> 1:45:42.880 towards Trump and with those Maga hats. But I think 1:45:42.920 --> 1:45:46.400 you should also know that when it comes to gun rights, 1:45:46.479 --> 1:45:49.120 when it comes to being pro life, when it comes 1:45:49.160 --> 1:45:51.640 to limited government and low taxation, a lot of the 1:45:51.680 --> 1:45:56.880 issues that matters to you. See is a fierce defender 1:45:57.000 --> 1:45:59.360 of those things. And she has to walk a very 1:46:00.120 --> 1:46:03.479 fine line over at CNN by being a conservative in 1:46:03.479 --> 1:46:06.600 the mix over there, all right, Next up in the 1:46:06.720 --> 1:46:09.360 queue here we have Jeff, who writes, Buck, do you 1:46:09.400 --> 1:46:12.160 have any recommendations for reading up on the attacks by 1:46:12.320 --> 1:46:15.280 Islamist forces that lead up to and prompted the start 1:46:15.320 --> 1:46:20.280 of the First Crusade? Jeff Original Saturday Squad. You know, Jeff, 1:46:20.320 --> 1:46:25.000 the answer to that is to become familiar with Byzantine 1:46:25.200 --> 1:46:28.599 history or the history of the Eastern Roman Empire, because 1:46:28.680 --> 1:46:33.400 that is what we now think of as the Middle 1:46:33.439 --> 1:46:38.080 East was a large portion of it Christian and Christian 1:46:38.720 --> 1:46:42.400 until the Islamic forces came along and by sword or 1:46:42.400 --> 1:46:47.400 by eradication removed that Christianity. Places that we now think of, 1:46:47.439 --> 1:46:51.960 like Iraq and Syria and Lebanon, there were Christians there 1:46:52.000 --> 1:46:55.800 before there were not, and certainly in Turkey. So that's 1:46:55.880 --> 1:46:58.479 what I would recommend you. I can't say that there's 1:46:58.479 --> 1:47:01.320 a book that comes to mind about the run up 1:47:01.360 --> 1:47:07.000 to that, because it usually takes the form of a 1:47:07.000 --> 1:47:10.040 Byzantine You know, if you learn Byzantine history, you'll learn 1:47:10.080 --> 1:47:11.439 the history. If you go to the end of the 1:47:11.479 --> 1:47:15.320 Byzantine Empire, you'll learn the history of the Islamic conquest. 1:47:15.320 --> 1:47:17.559 So that would be my best recommendation for you. There 1:47:17.680 --> 1:47:22.880 is a Crowley Roger Crowley book fourteen fifty three about 1:47:22.880 --> 1:47:26.719 the Fall of Constantinople that I've very much recommended. It's great. 1:47:26.840 --> 1:47:30.879 I think Crowley's histories are fantastic. I liked his Empires 1:47:30.880 --> 1:47:33.479 of the Sea, which is the run up to Lepanto 1:47:33.520 --> 1:47:37.040 as well as Lepanto, so I highly recommend you check 1:47:37.080 --> 1:47:40.479 out anything by Roger Crowley. He has no idea who 1:47:40.479 --> 1:47:42.160 I am. By the way, he's a British historian. I 1:47:42.160 --> 1:47:43.880 don't think he's I don't think he knows that I've 1:47:43.920 --> 1:47:46.360 probably sold more Roger Crowley books on this show than 1:47:46.400 --> 1:47:50.080 like any other media outlet. Grizzmey, rights, are you on 1:47:50.200 --> 1:47:54.240 radio or TV? I was just wondering, have a great day, well, Grizzmey. 1:47:54.280 --> 1:47:56.000 I'm certainly talking to you if you're listening to this 1:47:56.080 --> 1:47:59.880 on radio one hundred and twenty five plus stations across 1:47:59.880 --> 1:48:04.160 the country. And I am on TV both for digital 1:48:04.200 --> 1:48:06.639 TV at Hill TV, which you can watch at Hill 1:48:06.760 --> 1:48:09.559 dot tv whatever you feel like. And I do Fox 1:48:09.600 --> 1:48:12.559 News a few times a week. So yes, I think 1:48:12.600 --> 1:48:14.840 it's fair to say I am both on TV and 1:48:15.040 --> 1:48:17.040 on radio. And if you go to Facebook dot com 1:48:17.080 --> 1:48:20.679 slash Buck Sexton, you can see some of the clips 1:48:20.680 --> 1:48:24.400 and some of the work that I have done. Keith 1:48:24.720 --> 1:48:26.880 rides Buck, if you have any sources at the White House, 1:48:27.280 --> 1:48:29.800 suggest them to have Trump invite the Covington kid Nick 1:48:29.880 --> 1:48:32.080 to the State of the Union address. He could laud 1:48:32.160 --> 1:48:33.880 the young man for his good behavior in the face 1:48:33.920 --> 1:48:37.000 of some really atrocious assault. Podas could also highlight the 1:48:37.000 --> 1:48:39.280 fake news aspect of the whole event. I like your beard. 1:48:39.600 --> 1:48:42.800 It makes your massive head look smaller. Well, Keith, thank you, 1:48:43.120 --> 1:48:45.840 I appreciate that. And I think that the President's already 1:48:45.840 --> 1:48:50.000 way ahead of us on the optics of the Covington kids. 1:48:50.080 --> 1:48:52.960 They're invited to the White House, and yes, I will 1:48:53.000 --> 1:48:55.439 pass along to my White House contacts that he should 1:48:55.479 --> 1:48:57.160 be at the State of the Union wherever. That is 1:48:58.040 --> 1:49:00.120 all right, that's it in the Freedom How Today team, 1:49:00.160 --> 1:49:02.320 it has been fantastic. It has been an honor, privilege 1:49:02.320 --> 1:49:06.960 and a pleasure talking tomorrow Shield's Eye man. The government 1:49:07.000 --> 1:49:09.639 shut down, politics in a bit of disarray, a lot 1:49:09.680 --> 1:49:12.120 of fighting over the border wall. But I've always got 1:49:12.120 --> 1:49:13.960 a smile on my face. You know why, because I 1:49:14.040 --> 1:49:15.960 know that every morning when I wake up, the first 1:49:16.040 --> 1:49:18.160 thing I get to do is have a delicious cup 1:49:18.479 --> 1:49:23.479 of steamy, delicious, wonderful Black Rifle coffee.
