00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: just say before we get and by the way, I

16
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: missed you all. I'm sorry. I was out on Friday.

17
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: I had to do some traveling. I was on the

18
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: other side of the countries, you know. I was at

19
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: Stanford University visiting the uh fantastic Hoover Institution last week,

20
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: spend time with their fellows and getting to know a

21
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: bit about Palo Alto. I'd actually never been there before.

22
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Nice place, not not really for me in the long run,

23
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: but a nice enough place. But I had to come back.

24
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: And I know that Brian Suits was in on Friday.

25
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: I heard you today. A great job, and I appreciate

26
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: him manning the helm here in the Freedom, but I

27
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,639
Speaker 1: missed you all. That's the problem I have with taking

28
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: a day off from this show is that I love

29
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: doing this show, and so when I miss even one

30
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: day of it, I it's hard for me to enjoy

31
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: my vacation as much as I should. That's all I'll say.

32
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: So I was excited. I was excited about coming back

33
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: here and and I had all kinds of topics in mind,

34
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: which we will get to over the course of the show.

35
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: But the news cycle has changed in the last few hours.

36
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: I think many of you already know what I'm talking about.

37
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: We'll get into some of that, but I had anticipated

38
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: coming in today and talking to you about an amazing

39
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: story and really troubling, really frightening story out of the

40
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: Middle East right now, where you have the Prime Minister

41
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: of Lebanon in what sum are calling a low grade

42
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: hostage situation with Saudi Arabia, and how this is part

43
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: of the spiraling Sunny Shia Cold War, because that is

44
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: what it is. There is a Sunni Shia cold war

45
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: in effect right now across the Middle East. And to

46
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: call a cold war, we should keep in mind, doesn't

47
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: mean that there aren't plenty of places where it's hot

48
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: and it's just not declared yet between the major combatants.

49
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: Kind of like the US the Soviet Union back in

50
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: the day, Iran and Saudi Arabia are not openly at

51
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: war yet. I don't think it will happen, but given

52
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: what we are seeing, it could happen. But what is

53
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: even more likely is that Lebanon will become yet another

54
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: battle ground between proxies, just like Syria and Yemen and

55
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: Iraq where there is tremendous bloodshed and fighting between Sunni

56
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: and Shia at Muslim forces. So I will talk to

57
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: you about that, but we will have to put that

58
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: on hold for a few moments here. And then there's

59
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: also the story that was out of the New York

60
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Times about massive breaches The New York Times is claiming

61
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: of the intelligence community and intelligence community data. This just

62
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: goes along with the unbelievable and almost unimaginable in terms

63
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: of scope and severity breaches of private information and the

64
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: loss of data security that has become unfortunately so commonplace

65
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: that we are largely numb to it. I think we

66
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: just go, oh, you know Equifax or whatever whichever one

67
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: it was. You know, Equifax, and you lost all of

68
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: our data, you know, offics of personnel management, huge hack

69
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: of data, you know, as our lives are transferred more

70
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: and more online. And I mean, think about what had

71
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: happened to you if right now you went online and

72
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: you looked and you had all of your accounts were

73
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: at zero. Now there's technology out there that may be

74
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: able to fix this, and you know, blockchain for one,

75
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: which I have not forgotten. We will talk to you

76
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: more about blockchain and about about bitcoin and these other

77
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: the other cryptocurrencies that are out there. But I know

78
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: what you're thinking, Well, Buck, you're this is all I

79
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: hope you think very interesting. And there's a lot of

80
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: a lot of knowledge and learning that we all have

81
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: to do on this subject matter. And this matters if

82
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: there's a if there is a major war in the

83
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Middle East, it matters to all of us. We've got

84
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: soldiers in harm's way. We are very likely to get

85
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: deeply involved with some of our allies there, we probably

86
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: have much many more soldiers in harm's way. And that

87
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: matters whether you're in you know, New York, Omaha or California,

88
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: right doesn't matter all across the country. I mean, it

89
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: does matter, you know what what I'm say. It doesn't matter

90
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: where you are. It does matter to you. It does

91
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 1: matter to this country. And then also on the notion

92
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: of cybersecurity, the the claim in the New York Times

93
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: is that there are hacking tools that have now gotten

94
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: pasted all over the Internet that have just opened up

95
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: the proverbial Pandora's box. And now who knows what's safe

96
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: and who knows what the long term impact of all

97
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: of this is. But that's what that's what I get

98
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: excited about coming into this show to talk to you

99
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: about that I read all week in Molly's Oh put

100
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: away your you'll put away your laptop. We need to

101
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: we're cooking dinner, okay, honey, Okay, you know, And that's

102
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: what I want to talk to you about, and I will.

103
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: But I also have I feel some obligation to handle

104
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: the biggest news stories of the day every day, even

105
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: when they are uh, both complicated emotionally disturbing and full

106
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: intentionally so with the way the media and others and

107
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: activist groups use these moments, but but full of political

108
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: land mines just in the discussion of it. And you

109
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: all know that I'm talking about the roy More situation. Um,

110
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: I I should say this right right off about I

111
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: would very much like to hear from you. I know

112
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: we have a substantial Alabama contingent of Team Box, so

113
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: you're you're closer to this in terms of the fact

114
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: that you're gonna be casting votes here pretty soon in

115
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: in the Senate in the special Senate election there. But

116
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: I want to know what all of you think about

117
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: about this matter, because it is a it is a

118
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: tough one. They have clearly already gone after people for

119
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: how they've talked about this, and that was by design,

120
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: meaning that just just by asking the questions, just by

121
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: starting off and saying, well, hold on a second, we

122
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: have accusers here. We have really one criminal accusation, although

123
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: there's another one today, but originally it was one criminal

124
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: accusation and then more accusations of what would be understood

125
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: to be maybe socially unacceptable behavior or socially unseemly but

126
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: not illegal, although today there's another allegation that I will

127
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: deal with that as well. But we should note as

128
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: we get into this, because this turns into very much

129
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: a it's a who do you believe? This? Will never

130
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: These allegations against Roy Moore will never make it into court.

131
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: They're all past any possible statute, all past the statute

132
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: of limitation. So he will have no legal even if

133
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: he wanted to, or even if he was saying he

134
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: will take this to the man, he has no legal

135
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: recourse to defend himself. This is just being fought out

136
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: in the court of public opinion right now. There will

137
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: never be a unless something else comes forward that I'm

138
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: not aware of it. There will never be a court

139
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: hearing for all of this. And we should also understand

140
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: what the stakes are. Like I said, I will get

141
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: into the specifics of the allegation today, and it's look,

142
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: it's very very troubling. Uh. You don't need me to

143
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: say that. I hear so much of this this commentary

144
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: on TV and everyone say, well, you know, clearly, clearly

145
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: if he's actually guilty of sexual assault of a minor

146
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: or clearly you know, and then he should step down.

147
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,359
Speaker 1: Of course, this is anyone I think with a functioning

148
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: moral compass would feel that way. The big issue is

149
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: do you believe that this is what been? Do you

150
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: believe that this is a an accurate accounting of events

151
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: forty or so years ago? We're not. I don't think

152
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: the question is so much about and although the media

153
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: has tried to frame it this way, you know, did

154
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: the actor should the acts that Roy Moore is accused

155
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: of disqualify him for being a senator? It's do you

156
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: believe it? Because on the one hand, if you do

157
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: not believe it, think about what a terrible circumstance this is, right,

158
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: this man's reputation if if he steps if he steps down,

159
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: then he's definitely going to be, in the eyes of

160
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: many viewed as as admitting guilt effectively, even if he

161
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: steps down for the good of the party, right, even

162
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: if he steps down because he does not, in fact

163
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: want to lose this Senate seat. And then there's the

164
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: other side of this, which is, well, if he if

165
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: he is guilty, what a mess the Republican Party finds

166
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: itself in here um And that there's obviously a a

167
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: real possibility, and his possibility seemed to increase today based

168
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: on the fact that there is another another allegation of

169
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: uh and and it it just goes towards the patterns.

170
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: See what the what the press with the Washington Post,

171
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: with the others are doing is they're establishing a pattern.

172
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: And that look, prosecutors established patterns. This is not u

173
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: We cannot ignore this. Even though they're bringing in to

174
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: establish this pattern of dating and allegedly praying on young women,

175
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: They're they're establishing a pattern by bringing in in some

176
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: cases completely legal conduct. They're doing that to show that

177
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: he had a predisposition towards dating, particularly young women, for

178
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: a man of his age at the time, in his thirties,

179
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: and that they are trying to then add to the

180
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: credibility of the illegal accusations. That's why they have the

181
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: different the different components of this coming together. And like

182
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: me just say before I try to dive into what

183
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: seems to me to be true, what seems to be problematic,

184
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: and what where I am at all this, because I

185
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: would much rather tell you about, or much rather spend

186
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: our time talking about the fascinating but dangerous and very

187
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: uncertain elements and situations and circumstances arising in the Middle

188
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: East right now, because when it's an area just a

189
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: professional expertise for me. And also I just think it's

190
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: very and that's why I come in here, because I

191
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about things that are are

192
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: interesting and that that matter in a in a grand,

193
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: in a big sense as much as I can, whether

194
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: it's but in this case, people would say, well, what

195
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: matters here is does the Republican Party still stand for

196
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: morality or not? Is there any underlying morality either? Or

197
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: are we now just in a full on street fight

198
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: of whatever my side has to do to win is

199
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: what my side will do. And I know these are

200
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: the these are the different dynamics at play as well

201
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: in the Roy Moore discussion, UM a note on this

202
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: and we'll spend a little more time. And I really

203
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: do encourage and ask those of you who have strong

204
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: feelings on this one way or another. I'm sure some

205
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: of you listening or think are saying Buck, you're being

206
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: too uh favorable towards More. Others probably think I'm being

207
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: unfair to more. I'm not coming down on one side

208
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: or the other. I'm trying to work through what we

209
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: know because I don't think I desidered well if he's guilty,

210
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: he should of course, if he's guilty, he should step down.

211
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: The question is what can we know about the allegations

212
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: so far? Um, And and also looking at this from

213
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: the perspective of how the media has set this up, UM,

214
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: this was I do not believe, for example, for one second,

215
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: that the Washington Post did not know about this, follow

216
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: on accusation that it was coming this by by having

217
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: the initial set of allegations last week in the story

218
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: and leaving off that there is now a woman who

219
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: has come forward and in a very I will a

220
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: very convincing and very gut wrenching interview talked about what

221
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: she said was an attempted sexual assault when she was

222
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: sixteen by Roy Moore. UM. But I believe that the

223
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: media knew about this, and that the whole from their

224
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: perspective of just maximizing the damage to the Republican Party,

225
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: because whether the true, whether anything is true or not true.

226
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: For a second, step back from at the Washington Post,

227
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: the Democratic media, they want this to do maximum damage

228
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: to Republicans. Were all, we're all adults here, we all

229
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: can be honest about that. They want to use this

230
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: to annihilate the Republican Party to the greatest degree possible

231
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: UM and to smear everybody who's associated with it, and

232
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: particularly Trump is UM and the outsiders that are part

233
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: of the Trump movement. So I think they knew about it.

234
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: I think that part of the plan that the media

235
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: had was, well, will bring out this, and there's plenty

236
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: of there. There's plenty of room, based on the initial stations,

237
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: to say, hold on a second, we don't know if

238
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: this is true, and then to embarrass those publicly who

239
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: are very prominent in their defense of or shouldn't say

240
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: defensive in their desire to slow things down and get

241
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: to the truth. It's oh, by the way, and now

242
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: here's another one. Here's another story that you are forced

243
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: to Then, if you're going to take this position, say

244
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: we'll hold on a second. We don't know getting it's getting.

245
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: The heat has been turned up and it is not accidental.

246
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: So I think it's important to keep all that in mind.

247
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: And one more thing here before I go into a break.

248
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: And like I said, I'm very curious to hear where

249
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: you are on this. Just one seat, that's what is

250
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: at stake here, one Senate seat. And as you have

251
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: that in your mind. We should all remember that just

252
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: one Senate seat would have been the difference between Obamacare

253
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: or not. Just one Senate seat would have been or

254
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: just one Senate vote would have been the difference just

255
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: this past summer between Obamacare repeal and or not. Just

256
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: one seat, especially given how hotly contested the Senators right

257
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: now and that the midterms are coming up, that will

258
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: also matter, I think dramatically in the future of this

259
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: administration and Democrats, I I can say it only so

260
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: many times during the show, have a long history of

261
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: playing very, very dirty in politics over any number of

262
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: different races. So that is a context that is not

263
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: a specific commentary on this incident. It is a context

264
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: for our discussion. And with that, I'll come back on

265
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: the other side. We'll play the latest allegation, and I'm

266
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: gonna want to hear from from you. What do you

267
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: think should be Do you think do you think that

268
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: it's just too damaging the party? Roy Moore should step down?

269
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: Do you think that this is just all an assault

270
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: and attack orchestrated by the media. But you know, then

271
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some other questions, like, well, this guy

272
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: is writing in the yearbook of one of these young girls.

273
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: No one saying that's fabricated. The There's gonna be some

274
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: questions that come up here. I'm really curious on what

275
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: you think. Eight four four nine to five eight four

276
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: four nine, Buck. I will play the latest allegation in

277
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: this side of this break. It is. It is tough

278
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: to listen to, but we should all hear it, and

279
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: uh and I do promise in the second third hour

280
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: we'll talk about geo politics, Middle East strategy, other things

281
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: that will be of interest will be right back. So

282
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: last week there were there was one criminal allegation from

283
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: forty years ago about Judge Moore involving a fourteen year

284
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: old girl in Alabama when he was a thirty something

285
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: year old district attorney. And there were other young women

286
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: that he was said to have dated, none of them

287
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: in violation of the law. And as I said, so

288
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: the reporting on that just seems to be to establish

289
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: a pattern that he was dating young women and at

290
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: also I think to just further destroying this guy's reputation,

291
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: rightfully or not, that's what they're claiming. That's what they're

292
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: trying to do. Um And but then as of today

293
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: you have a new accuser who went on TV and

294
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: I was out there and claims to be a Trump supporter.

295
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: By the way, her name is Beverly Young Nelson. And

296
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: here's what you said at a press conference. Instead of

297
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: answering my questions, Mr Moore reached over and began groping me,

298
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: him putting his hands on my breast. I tried to

299
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: open my car door to leave, but he reached over

300
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: and he locked it so I could not get out.

301
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: I tried fighting him off while yelled at him to stop,

302
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 1: but instead of stopping, he began squeezing my neck, attempting

303
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: to force my head onto his crotch. I continued to struggle.

304
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: I was determined that I was not going to allow

305
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: him to force me to have sex with him. I

306
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: was terrified. She went on to also show in her

307
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: high school yearbook more signed to a sweeter, more beautiful girl.

308
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: I could not say, Merry Christmas. I love Roy Moore,

309
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: District attorney. That was in nineteen seventies seven. So what

310
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: what what are we? What are we to make of this? Uh?

311
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: It seems that there are only a couple of options here.

312
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: One is that Roy Moore, forty years ago or so,

313
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: was engaged in multiple instances of attempted sexual predation on

314
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: young women, very young women, teenagers um or the other

315
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: is that this is an incredibly sophisticated and believable smear

316
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: campaign against a would be U. S. Senator at a

317
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: time when politics couldn't get much uglier in this country.

318
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: It is one or the other. I don't think there's

319
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: a third I don't think there's a third option. And

320
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: that woman's testimony, if we're just analyzing this piece by piece,

321
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: to me, it sounded very credible. So I need to

322
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: know what all of you think. Eight four four two

323
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: to five, eight four four, nine hundred buck. We'll do

324
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: more on this when we come back. I think it's

325
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: a shot a buck encouraging. Yeah, that's an option we're

326
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: looking at. Whether or not there is someone who can

327
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: mount a right end campaign successfully. I will see. Yeah,

328
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: just no more to prove these false versus someone to

329
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: prove that these are true. In this situation, where do

330
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: you believe these allegations to be true? I believe the women. Yes,

331
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: it's not a majority leader Mitch McConnell says he believes him.

332
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: Is that more should step down, uh, and if not,

333
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: there should be a writing campaign which I mean I

334
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: could assume just looking at this from a pure political perspective.

335
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: For a second, I means Democrats gonna win if you

336
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: try to split the vote that way. I mean I will,

337
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: I would assume unless I'm missing something. Uh, So this

338
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: is And now you've also got National Republican Senatorial Committee

339
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 1: chairman Corey Gardner said that Alabama nominee Roy Moore is

340
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: unfit to serve. So you've got another GEOP official calling

341
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: for More to step down. Art in West Virginia on

342
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: w w v A R what do you make of

343
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: all this? Hello, bluck um that uh that woman that

344
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: you played that gives you pause when you listen to it.

345
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: But I still think one of the main things that

346
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: need to be done in this and it will probably

347
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: be done, but for Joe More it will be too late.

348
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: We'll be to follow the money and uh what what money?

349
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: What money are? What do you mean? Well, I mean

350
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: the money coming from the Democrat Party. Uh going to

351
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: go already for one, and also going to the Washington

352
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: Post and all the reporters to find this or suborn

353
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: these people. Uh to say these kinds of things, because

354
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: if if you look at the past history of following

355
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: the money. Uh, there's been too many of this, this

356
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: type things happened. And after the after the guy's reputation

357
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: is ruined, his his life has ruined, his family's life

358
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: has ruined. Then we come to find out none of

359
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: it was true. And it's uh, it's a darned shame

360
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: that this happens. But it always, it always comes from

361
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: the left. And I I studied Democrat history really heavily

362
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: because I am very very and to be frank about it,

363
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm very anti Democrat and have been for years when

364
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: I started studying their history. Um, and uh, I listened

365
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: and I listen to McConnell today, and he was against

366
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: Judge Moore from the start. So anything that McConnell says,

367
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: I throw out. Can I ask your arts or at

368
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: this point you still you still are of the of

369
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: the mind you take the position that this is a

370
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: hit job on Judge Moore. You do not believe that

371
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: he was uh, a multiple attempted sexual assault perpetrator, predator. No,

372
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not sure. You're not sure. Okay, I'm not

373
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: sure because i'd like to I like to follow the

374
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: law and uh and wait until we find out what's

375
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: going on and what's really going on? Because I mean,

376
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: this guy is already guilty as far as McConnell and

377
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: the rest of those goofballs up there are concerned. And also, uh,

378
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: I would say probably right now with the way it's

379
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: going a majority of the American public. But he hasn't

380
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: been tried all he has with allegations, and uh, I

381
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: mean if you look at the allegations, remember Duke Duke guys,

382
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: their reputations, their lives. Yeah, the Duke Lacrosse case. I

383
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: followed that very closely and read of it. We actually

384
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: had the author of Until Proven Innocent on the show

385
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: to talk about the campus campus rape hoaxes here in

386
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: the past. That book, Until Proven Innocent, is an excellent

387
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: book I recommended to all of you. It's about the

388
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: Duke Lacrosse case. And in that instance, you know, reporters

389
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: went went all along with it. But keep in mind,

390
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: there you had a an attorney, or there you had

391
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: a district attorney who knew that he was prosecuting innocent

392
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: people and just did not care. So it's it's chilling

393
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: to to read that. And also that the media went

394
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: along and was complicit in it, right, I placed mc

395
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: McConnell in that same category as that prosecutor. Well, you

396
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: really don't like you really don't like Mitch McConnell. Do

397
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: you are McConnell, he's he's a he's a definite joke

398
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: he um. And also Ryan. I I don't trust either

399
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: one of them as far as I can see. And

400
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: I'm I'm here you are been able to the oh,

401
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a Republican and an independent and mainly a conservative. Well,

402
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: thank thank you all for calling it and sharing your thoughts.

403
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I just note on his point about

404
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan, I would I gave a speech this past

405
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: weekend at a radio event out in the Chicago area,

406
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: and I just mentioned I wasn't even I do the

407
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: way I usually a speech. I write out some stuff

408
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: and then I just end up getting up on stage

409
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: and talking to people for trying to you know, it's

410
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: essentially like how I do the radio show here, although

411
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: I really don't have much of any notes here at all.

412
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: And I just mentioned Paul Ryan. It wasn't even really

413
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: I forget. It just sort of came up. I was like, so,

414
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: you know, you've got Paul Ryan, and just the mention

Speaker 1: of his name. All the people boo, they're boost I said, wow,

Speaker 1: They did it to Herman Kane. They hit him with

434
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: allegations of women. They came out of the woodwork and

435
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: as soon as Herman Kane stepped down those those allegations

436
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: and all the women went away. And they did the

437
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: same thing to Mitt Romney. You know, it doesn't matter

438
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,600

Speaker 1: a complicated issue dealing with some very very very important

448
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: political realities and dealing with the very uh difficult decision

449
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: as to whether or not you think that Roy Moore

450
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: is a sexual predator, right, I mean, because if he is,

451
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: then I think we all got we all got agree

452
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: that that's I don't believe it. And Jeff, hold hold on,

00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: old coming out now and saying that Judge Moore acted

462

Speaker 1: in this way? And if you don't have an answer,

463
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: that's fine. I just want to pull I want to

464
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: pose this to you because I think we have to

465
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: deal with the facts as they're presented. Yeah, I'll answer it.

466
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: I believe she she's being paid. Um, there's money somewhere,

467
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 1: and I I just I don't. I'm not I'm not

468
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: going to buy it. Okay, Jeff, I hear you. I

469
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: hear you, and I asked you to do exactly what

470
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: you're doing, which you share your opinions on this and

471
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,239
Speaker 1: and so for that, I thank you for it, and

472
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: thank you for calling in from North Carolina. I mean

473
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: on whether she's being paid guys, hey, Tyrone being paid?

474
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't who for I mean, yeah, that doesn't that

475
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: doesn't wash for me, that that doesn't wash. So look,

476
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: I could sit here and tell you about Democrat dirty

477
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: tricks for a long time. Um, I'm somebody, unlike a

478
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: lot of other people out there who were talking about

479
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: this in the media, who knows much of the backstory

480
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: of Ted Stevens, Senator from Alaska, who was prosecuted and

481
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: the prosecutors withheld exculpatory evidence and that seat then went

482
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: to a Democrat, which was a necessary vote in the

483
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: passage of Obamacare. So pros federal prosecutors, you want to

484
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: talk about the swamp withheld exculpatory information to try and

485
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: send Ted Stevens to prison. They knew he was innocent,

486
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: and they went after him anyway, and his seat then

487
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: went to a Democrat, so they will. I get how

488
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: dirty Democrats will play, but I'm not seeing how this

489
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: is a dorm Mr. Stammy. They're trying to make this

490
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: a maximum damage issue for Republicans. There anyone who asks

491
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: any questions of supporting pedophilia. I mean, they're they're being

492
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: reckless with the allegations here in terms of the discussion

493
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: and people around the discussion and trying to get to

494
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 1: the facts. They're trying to frighten people into not pushing

495
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: for the fact. Everyone has to just get caught up

496
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: in this condemnation Maelstrom or else? But that all said,

497
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: someone needs to explain to me. And looky, we just

498
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: said the gentleman said that she was paid. He has

499
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: no evidence to support that, but that's what he believes. Okay,

500
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't believe that, but I need to know, you know,

501
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: I need to know if there's any other reason explanation

502
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: that's out there for this or we and we should

503
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: and I'll deal with this after the next break too.

504
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: Are we just on a point now where we don't

505
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: really care about the morality of political leaders? We just

506
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: want what we want? I pose that question, I'll answer

507
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: on the other side of the break. I think it's important.

508
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: Joe in Virginia w w v A. We got like

509
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: every line here. Let Joe thank you? What's up? Everyone

510
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: get caught up in this condemnation? Mails from four else Joe,

511
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: but Joe what Okay? Yeah? Tell tell I just like

512
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: that sounds like me because Joe had to be on

513
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: a delay there. Rhonda in Ohio Anda on w h

514
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: L O Hey, Rhonda, Yeah, Hi, I think Jeff's session,

515
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: since he is not doing his job, he could just

516
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: take his Republican Senate seatback. You know, it might be

517
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: the fastest, easiest way to keep the seat. And I

518
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: feel bad for Roy. I don't think it's right what

519
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: they're doing to him, but I don't know if we

520
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: have enough time to help him. I don't think. I

521
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: don't think it works that way, but I appreciate I

522
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying. I would also say Moe Brooks,

523
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: whom I've had on this show numerous times, it seems

524
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: like a great option to me, what happened with Moe Brooks?

525
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: Why didn't you know that guy? I mean, I feel

526
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: like it need to be a nice, safe sentence seat

527
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: from O Brooks. What's oh man? That would have been?

528
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: That would have been way better than what we got now.

529
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: So Ronda, you think so? But do you believe do

530
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: you believe more? Do you believe the accusers? At this point?

531
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: I believe more? You do? Okay? All right? All right?

532
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: Ro Ronne will I appreciate you calling and thank you

533
00:30:54,840 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: Angie from Alabama listening on the I Heart app Hey, Angie, UM,

534
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: I have a question about the the woman that came

535
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: forward today. She is showing that yearbook around with pride,

536
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: showing his signature she had to have taken the yearbook

537
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: to him to get it signed. Okay, but I mean

538
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: she she's showing it around because she wants everyone to

539
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: know that he clearly knew her. So it's not like

540
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: a fabrication out of nowhere. It sounds to me like

541
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: she knew him pretty well. Today. I only take my

542
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: took my yearbook to people who I knew. I understand, Angie.

543
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: But she's saying that he no one's no one right

544
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: now is fighting over whether he knew her. Well. The

545
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: the issue is do you believe that he tried to

546
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: force himself upon her when she was a sixteen year

547
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: old girl. It is she would be of legal age

548
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: to consent in Alabama, assuming she was sixteen at the time,

549
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: so it's not an illegal issue for her consent. But

550
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: if he was trying to force her, then it is

551
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: sexual assault, and so she's alleging sexual she's alleging attempted

552
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: sexual assault. Okay. Well, I was never for Rory Moore,

553
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: but all of this attack wouldn't make me cast my

554
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: vote for Rory. Rory Moore, just don't buy the lady's story.

555
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: You don't buy it, Okay, you know Buck Shield ye

556
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: why didn't they come out of the work the woodwork.

557
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: Very that is a very worthwhile question that I meant

558
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: to raise earlier. Angie. It seems to me this guy's

559
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: run for office many times, He's been around in public

560
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: life for a long time. If he was a if

561
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: he was a serial predator, uh, you know, people talking

562
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: about oh well look at Hollywood, Roy Moore. You know,

563
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: all it takes is one story in the local paper

564
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: about how he's doing this and his political career is over.

565
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, but I'm sure he was a

566
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: local girl. All it would taken was one story. But

567
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm just I'm Angie, I'm just keeping

568
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: it real here. Beverly Young Nelson's testament to me was,

569
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: it's just it was very credible. So I have a

570
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: really tough time of this. I appreciate you calling in

571
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: and thank you. Um, all right, we got more and

572
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: more lines. Let I obviously people have very strong pins

573
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: on this. We'll get into this a little more. I

574
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: promise you we will not spend the entire show on

575
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: this issue. Because we should not spend the entire show

576
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: on this issue. There's a lot of other stuff going on,

577
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: including a deadlock jury over Senator Menendez, by the way,

578
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: that could go either way. That I mean, they're like

579
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: his his fate is hanging in the balance, many many

580
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: felony felony charges there. But I know there's strong opinions

581
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: on this, and and your opinions, all of you listening

582
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: matters to me a lot. I like to know what

583
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: you're thinking where you are in this. So I do

584
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: want to take some calls and we will. Then I'll

585
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: talk to you about what's going on with do a

586
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: buck brief on the Middle East situation. It's crazy right

587
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: now with Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Yemen, so many moving pieces,

588
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: but it's all trending into a very scary place for

589
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: a region that is has no shortage of conflicts. So

590
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that in the next hour. And uh,

591
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: we've got we've got a lot, a lot of show left.

592
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: So eight four four, eight to five, we've got to

593
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: think one spot open down the lines of when he

594
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: wants to call in, and all the others are lit um,

595
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: but we will take one. I will take some calls.

596
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: We'll move on to other topics in the next hour.

597
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: And as always, I appreciate you being with me here

598
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: through this like every night through this journey, be right

599
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: back freedom home. We're talking about Judge Roy Moore latest allegations. Uh,

600
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: last week it was that he tried to force himself

601
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: upon a fourteen year old. There were other young women

602
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: but above the age of consent other than the fourteen

603
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: year old that he was alleged to have had sexual contact,

604
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: were interest in. And now you have a woman who

605
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 1: says she was sixteen, so of the age of consent

606
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: in Alabama, but gave testimony that there was an attempted

607
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: sexual assault on her. So again, it wouldn't matter what

608
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: you know age. We're talking about here, we're talking about attempted,

609
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: attempted sexual soul, attempted rape. So what do you make

613
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: On Number two. I want to stress that I'm an

614
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: American and I'm so tired of hearing about Republicans, Democrats,

615
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: this that the other thing were we gotta all remember

616
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: number one, we're Americans. And number two, as far as

617
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: this thing with this more guy listen, put another guy right,

618
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: another guy in this count today. Extremely credible and and

619
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: the other gals were credible. The Post knew they were

620
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: going to be scrutinized heavily. They had over thirty sources,

621
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: thirty sources where they went and talked to folks that

622
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 1: talked to folks that heard from these people thirty years

623
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: ago about what happened. So it wasn't like somebody made

624
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: one thing up and just made a claim. And as

625
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: far as this stuff, the timing, the timing is certainly unfortunate.

626
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: But you know, in Hollywood now, a lot of Hollywood

627
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: dudes have come out and have been you know, allegated

628
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: to come out against them, and the timing there, whether

629
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: they got a movie coming out or a special coming

630
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: out or a Netflix coming out or something else, people

631
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: have come out against, you know, against them. So it

632
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: just is what it is. And and by the way,

633
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: one last thing, and I'll let you get in there.

634
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, no, Joey, look, I appreciate it. Go ahead.

635
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: You know the other thing is too. I guess two

636
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: more things that the last okay, no, three more things,

637
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: two more things go ahead, all right, two more things.

638
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: That's it. The last three or four callars. Man, if

639
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: they had sixteen year old daughters, I wonder what they

640
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: would say about this particular situation right now. That's number

641
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: one and number two, if I'm not mistaken. There's been

642
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: sexual issues with people at both parties. Of course, on

643
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: the dem side recently, right for instance, Bill Clinton was credibly,

644
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: credibly alleged to have raped a woman. I mean, it's

645
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: just straight Bill Clinton is it was credibly accused of

646
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: being a straight up rapist. And Democrats did not care

647
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: at all, zero care. Well, I don't know if that's

648
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: the case. I think people did care. I mean when

649
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: I say they don't care, okay, and that that's that's

650
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: exaggeration for effect. But nobody was saying he should resign.

651
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: Nobody was saying you should step down. Nobody who mattered

652
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party. I don't know. I don't know

653
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: if that's the case. But then you also had you

654
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: had Spitzer, and you had Wayner, who's doing uh cry

655
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, uh yeah, he's sexting miners. Yeah of course, yeah.

656
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: Oh we lost him. All right, Well, we gotta roll

657
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: into a break here. We've got lots of lines level

658
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: come right back to More on this stay with Me team.

659
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: Let's set the table for this coming hour here on radio.

660
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: We have uh the lines are just are just ringing

661
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: off the hook left and right. We're lit up like

662
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree in here. So I know you've got

663
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: a lot of thoughts on this, a lot of opinions.

664
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: I asked for them. So we'll do one more segment

665
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: here of calls, UM taking calls on the Judge Roy

666
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: Moore issue. Very uh, very difficult day for the More campaign.

667
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: We put it that way, sixteen a woman comes, not sixteen.

668
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: Woman comes out and says when she was sixteen, Roy

669
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: Moore tried to sexually assaulter comes after last week, fourteen years.

670
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: So we we played the audio for you. Sounds credible,

671
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: sounds incredible to me, uh and sounds like it's very

672
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: very difficult to see a way forward for uh More,

673
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: although maybe he'll win no matter what. I you know,

674
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Um. But here here

675
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: we are on So I do want to move to

676
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: both the latest from the Clapper Brennan chorus about how

677
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: Trump is appeasing Russia and Trumps a Russia stooge and

678
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: all that it's crap, and I'll walk you through why. Also,

679
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: this very intricate, but I think important. Ye situation in

680
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: the Middle East ben sunny and she. I think of

681
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: it like a sunny she a cold war that is

682
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: heating up very rapidly, and it involves the Prime Minister

683
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: of Lebanon in Saudi Arabia resigning from his job as

684
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Lebanon. In imagine that, right, I mean,

685
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: I think just things. Just start with that and then

686
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: I'll give you some of those details. It's a bizarre situation,

687
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: but well what we'll get into why it's happening and

688
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: what it means for the region, and then um also

689
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: maybe i'll talk to you about these I don't know,

690
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: I don't know how interested you are in the cyber discussion.

691
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: But we're just getting robbed. We're just getting you know,

692
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: rob left and right of our most important advantage over

693
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: other countries, which is information data technology. That's that is

694
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: the name of the game. We We have the bravest,

695
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: most well trained, most honorable military in the history of

696
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: the world. But it's gonna be really hard if in

697
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen years, you know, the Chinese have better

698
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: planes than we do. You know that that doesn't matter

699
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: how brave, honorable, well trained you are if they've just

700
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: got better planes to shoot missiles from further right. I mean,

701
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: I'm just giving you a sense of what I'm talking

702
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: about here, But that's that's gonna be tough. Um. And

703
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: we start getting into the missile defense and some of

704
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: the very advanced mill terry technologies that would be of

705
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: tremendous value for one. Now remember mind just country one

706
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: civilization to steal from another. That's why I call this

707
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: a civilization level conflict. And the theft of information is

708
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: going on. People forget that. Well, I'll tell you about

709
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: how the Soviets had not military parody with US, but

710
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: near military parody in terms of technology. It's not because

711
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: they had such great scientists. But people don't want you

712
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: to know the truth about this because it also involves

713
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: the Democrat parties and being infiltrated by communists. All right,

714
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: every line, lit Roy Moore, what happens now very look,

715
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: very damning allegations today in addition to what happened last week,

716
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: particularly damning allegations. And and before I get your calls out,

717
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: also just note that it is a it is fair

718
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: to point out that the Democrats, uh did not have

719
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: a problem. I mean, I know we had that caller said, oh,

720
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, yeah, did anyone? Was there any call

721
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: from from the major TV networks or newspapers for Bill Clinton,

722
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: who is clearly a sexual predator. I can't even read,

723
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: do you some of the information we have about Bill

724
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: Clinton's practices while a while president United States, while attorney

725
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: general for the state of Arkansas. You know, just I

726
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: just got on the list while governor of Arkansas. I

727
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: can't even tell It's a family show, right, I can't

728
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: even tell you what that guy was doing, including illegal

729
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: sexual behavior. And and now the Democrats are all, oh,

730
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: are you now that they're trying to use the fact

731
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: that the Republican Party at least aspires towards leadership morality

732
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: and character, or towards leadership with morality and character, as

733
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: opposed to Democrats, where it's just the blind pursuit of power.

734
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: Maybe some are gonna make the argument that at this

735
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: point it does not that that stuff about character, integrity, honesty,

736
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: that we're too far gone or too far beyond that

737
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: for to be a primary consideration in who we vote for.

738
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: You know, maybe it's just you can make that. I

739
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: think there are people who are making that case, not

740
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: one that I make, but I know that it's out there.

741
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not willing to give up integrity, decency,

742
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: and character just yet for the mean, for the political party,

743
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: for the Republican Party. I'm not willing to do that

744
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: just yet. But I know some people are and they're

745
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: they're they're making those arguments publicly. All right, let's do

746
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 1: John in North Carolina on w p T I Hey John, Yes,

747
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: good evening. Um, Well, we know that that you know,

748
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: the timing is one of the critical things here because

749
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: things are are starting to just break out all over

750
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: the place as far as UH uranium one and all

751
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 1: things connected to Hillary, the Clinton Foundation and and so forth.

752
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: Now we have somebody who came forward today. You know what,

753
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: if Moore had had uh step down over the weekend,

754
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: she would not have come forward. If he doesn't quit,

755
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: now there will be another. And now I can't help

756
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: but think back to Herman Kane and how as soon

757
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: as he dropped out of the race there was not

758
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: one other peep from the media. They got what they wanted,

759
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: and I think that's what's going on here. But John

760
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: did that. When you say that there wasn't one more

761
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: peep once he dropped out, there were nobody. As I recall,

762
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: and this was some years ago and I haven't been

763
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: doing research on this, Nobody said that Herman Kane was

764
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: guilty of criminal sexual predation. It was that he was

765
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: a sexual harasser in the workplace. So that's only an

766
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: issue for a political candidate, not really an issue. You

767
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: know that nobody was saying, well, Herman Kane needs to

768
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: go to prison for what he did. I don't remember

769
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: anyone claiming that that was the case. Now, in this instance,

770
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about behavior that one could not be prosecuted

771
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: for based on the Statute of limitations with Roy Moore,

772
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: but it would have fallen under criminal activity in the past.

773
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: So that's I think that's an important distinction here. But

774
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: it sounds to me like you think that the timing

775
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: this is all too convenient for the Democrats. You don't

776
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: believe that this is what it seems to be right now?

777
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: Is that fair to say? Yes, it is. I don't

778
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: think it's that hard to find somebody who who for

779
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: money in the riot circumstances can become very good actors.

780
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: I really, I really think that's uh, entirely possible. And

781
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: I think in the you know, he's pointed out a difference,

782
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: but I think a similarity we have to remember is

783
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: that both of them were political candidates. Okay, yeah, I

784
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: mean no, the look, I understand that they went after

785
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: Herman camblall Is, and look, I appreciate you calling it.

786
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: I would also note that, you know, John Edwards, the

787
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: story about John Edwards, which was not criminal sexual conduct,

788
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 1: but it was grotesque. John Edwards, he of I only

789
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: cheated on my wife, who was cancer stricken while I

790
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: was a candidate for the presidency when she was in remission.

791
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: He said that on TV. That was and his like, hey, everybody,

792
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: let's just like dial this back. Yes, my wife was

793
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: dying of cancer, but she was in remission when I

794
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: was having the affair. That was John Edwards, who was

795
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: like number three on the list for the presidency for

796
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: Democrats at the time. He was doing pretty well and

797
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: had been a vice presidential candidate. So you think they

798
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: couldn't have figured that out, by the way, you think

799
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: you think nobody in media had heard any rumors about

800
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: John Edwards and his you know, his his hippie mistress.

801
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure they did, but it's not fair. I understand that.

802
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: You know I know this. It's not fair. Democrats play

803
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: super dirty. I told you about Ted Stevens. I'm the

804
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: one who still waved his arms left and run about. Hey,

805
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: what about go down the list of all the spurious

806
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: prosecutions of Republicans we got Memenda Menendez. By the way,

807
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: we're still waiting to see Senor Menendez, Democrat, chairman of

808
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: the House Formulations Committee. I'm sorry Senate for obviously the

809
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: Senate Foreign Relations Committee waiting to see if he's guilty

810
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: and are the Democrats gonna remove That'll be a fascinating day.

811
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: By the way, if he is guilty and Democrats like, well,

812
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, he's a convicted felon, but you know we shouldn't,

813
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he can strow be a senator.

814
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: We're not gonna remove him. Oh but I thought you

815
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: were all about morality and probity when it comes to

816
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: members of Congress. Uh. But I've talked to you before

817
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: about how Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, Governor Chris Christie

818
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: of New Jersey, Governor Um, I'm forgetting his name. Rick

819
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: Perry of Texas. Go to the Lune Governor Bob McDonald

820
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: slimy stuff, not illegal stuff in Virginia. Sorry, no quid

821
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: pro quo, not corruption. All these different very politicized prosecutions

822
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: that went on. Um So, Democrats play very very dirty. Look,

823
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: they're trying to take people out in the media. I

824
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: don't have to tell you about this. They're trying to

825
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: take people out in the media who were just asking

826
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 1: questions about this and not going along right away. They're

827
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: they're using, they're they're setting this up as a pedophile

828
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: defender trap. That's what this all is. If you if

829
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: you defend Roy Moore, you're defending a pedophile. Oh but

830
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: no one's proven that Romo Roy Moore is a pedophile. Oh,

831
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: you're defending a pedophile. That's what they'll say. That's what

832
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: they are saying already. Jeff and Alabama WV. Hey, Jeff,

833
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: Hey Buck, how are you doing. Thanks for having me

834
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: on the show. I'm good, Thank you. Um I just

835
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: wanted to let you know I'm a twenty two year

836
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: old college student in Mobile. So if you were ever

837
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: wondering if you had any young listeners, um so, I

838
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: can say that I'm skeptical of the whole Roy Moore thing,

839
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: and I'd like to explain why I feel that way, um,

840
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: because you know, I hate to be even be uh

841
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: slightly cynical towards any sexual assault victim. But just bringing

842
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: up you know, in last year's campaign for the general election,

843
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: the last four weeks, you had over a dozen women

844
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: claiming that Donald Trump sexually assaulted them, and those all

845
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 1: magically disappeared. And the same with Ted Cruz during the primaries.

846
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: You know, there was a big old gas saying that

847
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz had multiple affairs and that just happened to

848
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: go away after he dropped out of the primaries. And uh,

849
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: just the the whole timing of the situation, it's after

850
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: Roy Moore wins wins the nomination on the ticket. You know,

851
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: I feel like this should have come out earlier, but

852
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: I guess it wouldn't have been convenient then. And also

853
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: just thinking back to when I think it was Chuck Schumer,

854
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure, but someone had said something about,

855
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: you know, lying about Romney lied about his tax returns,

856
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: and when asked about it later, yeah, I mean we

857
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: know that was a lie, and he said that that

858
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 1: kept with him getting a lot. But that's very that's

859
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: very different, and I think people at the time pretty transparent.

860
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: It was pretty transparent that Chuck Schumer. No what I

861
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: meant Romney could get away with making that much money

862
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: and not paying taxes. I would want to know whose

863
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: account it is, because that's the magic, all right. I mean,

864
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: there's no way. So I mean, yeah, I understand your

865
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: point that they'll lie, and there have been lies, to

866
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 1: be sure. And I think, look, I think that the

867
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: way that they they conflated Trump saying that I can

868
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: as a celebrity in in a in a moment of

869
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: locker room talk where he didn't realize he was on

870
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: a mic. They said him saying I can grab women

871
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,919
Speaker 1: and they're okay with it is the same as Trump

872
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: saying that I sexually assault women all the time. But

873
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: that's actually not what he said. And he was speaking

874
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: off the cuff about you know, or in a way

875
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: that sometimes guys who are not being careful with their

876
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: words find themselves saying things that they should not say. Um,

877
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 1: but here we are on the laws, and look, Jeff,

878
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: I definitely go ahead, and then I gotta get to

879
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 1: We got a lot of calls go ahead, all right.

880
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: UM I'm definitely uh waiting to see what do Process

881
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: has to say about this. UM. I don't want to

882
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: call any any uh person that brings allegations to liar

883
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: out right. But I also don't want to accept the

884
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: allegations until you know they've been charged. You know, here

885
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: is you're your skeptical, but you're you're in a waiting

886
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: sea mode. I can appreciate that. Jeff, thank you for

887
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: calling it from Alabama. One more Alabama caller before we

888
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: go in a break, Allison down in Alabama. Good to

889
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: have you. Hi. How are you. I'm good, Allison? Thank you.

890
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: Um So I called back in September around the time

891
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: of the last runoff vote, and UM, I talked to

892
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: you about the situation, how I was really conflicted about it. UM.

893
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: I voted for Moe Brooks initially, and yeah, what happened

894
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: with Mo Mo would have been great, Allison. Yeah, and

895
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: that's that's what really bothered me at the time, when

896
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: the Republicans threw so much money into the race and

897
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: came after him so hard and it worked, you know,

898
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: but they were thinking that their guy was going to

899
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: get in easily, and that you know that mo Brots

900
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: was the only real contender, and it worried me then

901
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,439
Speaker 1: because I knew what was going to happen. And it's

902
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: exactly what has happened. It came down to Roy Moore

903
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: and Luther Strange and and here we are, Um, And

904
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's just I'm conflicted about it. On the

905
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: one hand, I the new allegation that came out today,

906
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: I haven't heard much about it yet because I just

907
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: got home from work, but I I caught little bit

908
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 1: of Russ Lumbar earlier and I had heard something about

909
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: she has some kind of professional relationship with Joe Biden. Um,

910
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: there's some kind of connection there. I think you may

911
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: be referring to and I could be wrong, but I

912
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: believe you're Alison, because when Rush was on air. I

913
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 1: don't believe the latest allegation, which is a thing in

914
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: some ways the most damn well. I mean, it depends

915
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: you know who you find more credible of the accusers,

916
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: but a very damning revelation from the perspective of a

917
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: press It was a press conference. She was very emotional.

918
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: I think that happened after Rush had finished his show,

919
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: Just so you know, so I believe you're referring to

920
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: the woman who said she was fourteen at the time. Okay,

921
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: So I didn't realize that that woman had any connection

922
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: to any Democrats at all. In fact, I thought they

923
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: were saying that she had claimed to be a Republican

924
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: and a Trump voter and all of that. So I

925
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: don't know, but you know, this Tysa, she she did make.

926
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: She did make that claim that she was a Republican

927
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: and a Trump voter. Yeah. Well, it's just this claim

928
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: is very different from the others because before, certainly there

929
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 1: seemed to be a pattern of very inappropriate and you know,

930
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: creepy behavior, which to me is not that surprising honestly

931
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: for more and more, But there was no allegations of

932
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, him forcing himself on anyone. There was the fourton,

933
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: the one who says she was fourteen, who you know, honestly,

934
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: can I just just because we have to run a

935
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: break here, do believe Roy Moore was praying on women

936
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: or young women or not based on what you've heard

937
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: so far. I mean, I think he definitely was pursuing them.

938
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: As far as whether there was any kind of assault

939
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: that you know, I don't know, and I just it's

940
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: kind of a theory that we're at a point now

941
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: where anyone can say anything happened at any time in

942
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: their lives and it's automatically true because there's no way

943
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: to prove it, and it's I can sympathize to some

944
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: extent with people who say that they're going to vote

945
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: for him anyway, because if Stuff Jones gets in, it's

946
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: not like he's gonna rough present the people of Alabama.

947
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: He's going to vote the party line like Democrats always do.

948
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: I think he would have to caucus with Republicans if

949
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: he was going to represent the views of people of Alabama.

950
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm just gonna write in

951
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: low Brookes. I don't know if anyone else, Alison I.

952
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 1: I I've we've we're about to run into our our

953
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: station breakers, so I've gotta go. But I very much

954
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: appreciate your calling with a lot of Alabama callers there,

955
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 1: which is great, So thank you for that. UH Team.

956
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna talk about probably the

957
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: Russia collusion latest stuff. I'll knock some of that down

958
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: and then we'll get into the Mid East happenings, So

959
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: stay with me for that. We will get into the

960
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: Russia collusion stuff, the latest. Uh, there's a lot a

961
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: lot there, and then the whole breakdown of what's happening

962
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 1: in the Middle least, which I've been promising you throughout

963
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: the show. But first, there's other sexual assault and sexual

964
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: harassment and all kinds of sexual predatory behavior that's still

965
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: breaking out there, whether it's Brett Ratner, very prominent Hollywood director, uh,

966
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey, Lewis c K, the comedian. I don't know

967
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: that Louis c K has come out and has just said,

968
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: like he did this. He's not even he's not doing

969
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: any of the like well maybe some of it or

970
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: it was good. He's like, I did what people said

971
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: I did, and it's I saw his statement over the weekend,

972
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: you know, and it's a disgrace and and all that.

973
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean, like what what, I guess what Once he's

974
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: admitted on what else is really going to be said?

975
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: Of course, it is a disgrace. And one of his

976
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: victims came out and talked about it. We have the

977
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: it was not on my vision board for life, you know,

978
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: UM sitting here after twenty six years of working in

979
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:38,439
Speaker 1: this industry and UM talking about a middle aged man

980
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: who masturbates everywhere. That is not um, that is not

981
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: what that's that's a horrible position to be in. And

982
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 1: he put us all in that and um, and it's

983
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: it's gross and it's not what any of us asked

984
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: for or wanted. UM. But the right thing to do

985
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: is to speak out because this is a multi multi millionaire,

986
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: nationally famous comedian who has admitted and what this woman says.

987
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: There's no question here, right. Keep in mind Roy Moore says,

988
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,919
Speaker 1: it's all whether you believe him or not. He says,

989
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: that's all lie. It is all of which hunt is

990
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: all smear campaign. When it comes to anything illegal, he says,

991
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 1: absolutely not. Uh, Louis c k. There's not any issue

992
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: of illegality as far as I know. But he's saying

993
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: in terms of the grossness and everything else, oh yeah,

994
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: absolutely happened, which just makes me I just want to

995
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: point this out. And this goes also to our distrust

996
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: of the media and the broader role that the left

997
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: has in the culture. Over the weekend, he got this

998
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 1: famous comedian who's doing this admitted it Saturday Night Live,

999
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: which is watched still by three or four million people.

1000
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: I think every time it airs on Saturday Night, which

1001
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: is pretty amazing considering how crappy it is. Saturday Night

1002
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: Live did not think it was worth even mentioning Louis

1003
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: c K. They went after Roy Moore, but there was

1004
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: no mention of Louis c K. No nothing, no, no,

1005
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: no skits, no nothing about Louis e KA. And you

1006
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 1: know it's like Bill Maher recently on his show, Oh yeah,

1007
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: he's so brave. No mention of these leftist media figures

1008
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 1: who are are admitted predators, admitted predators. I mean Louis

1009
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: c K. This guy is is in in serial fashion,

1010
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: quarrying women in his business and and pleasuring himself in

1011
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: front of him. I mean, it's just bizarre and disgusting

1012
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,959
Speaker 1: and on so many levels. But there are still people

1013
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: who are afraid, people of prominence in our culture, afraid

1014
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: to take on that issue, afraid to make any jokes

1015
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: about Louis c K because their cowards and their hypocrites.

1016
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: So I I keep that in mind as we go

1017
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 1: forward here talk about Russia and then the Mid East.

1018
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: Stay with me that be of Russia did not meddle

1019
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: in the election, As to whether I believe it or not,

1020
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm with our agencies, especially as currently constituted, with their leadership.

1021
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: I believe in our intel age sees are intelligence agencies.

1022
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 1: I've worked with them very strongly. Uh. There weren't seventeen

1023
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 1: as was previously reported. There were actually four, but as

1024
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: currently uh, lead by fine people. I believe very much

1025
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: in our intelligence agency. Trumps and he believes in the

1026
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: i C Intelligence community. I should know that as a

1027
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: little side as somebody who used to be an employee

1028
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: of the i C. Uh, we really don't refer to

1029
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,439
Speaker 1: it all that much that way. It's you really think

1030
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: of it like you're in a bunch of I would

1031
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: say schools that are competitive with each other, whether you're

1032
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: at the N S, A, C, I A, D I A.

1033
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: And there's a fair amount of bureaucratic infighting, a little

1034
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: bit of back and forth, even even a fair amount

1035
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: of trash talking between the very at least when I

1036
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: was there. I don't know if maybe that's changed, Maybe

1037
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: maybe everybody plays nice in the sandbox now, but I

1038
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: doubt it. Yeah, and I could certainly ask some of

1039
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: my friends who are still on the inside what it's like. Uh.

1040
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: But it was a very tribal culture within the and

1041
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,479
Speaker 1: it was. And then even within the organization, even even

1042
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: within c I A uh, there were there were analysts,

1043
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: and then there were analysts. I mean we all some

1044
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: offices thought they were, you know, the the elite among

1045
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: the you know, the memo writing, intel briefing, number crunching set. Right,

1046
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: there was there was a kind of a who was

1047
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: the best nerd contest among us among us analysts and

1048
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna lie in my office thought that

1049
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: we were among the nerds, the best of all the nerds.

1050
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: So there you go. So it's there's a lot of

1051
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: different people talking to the intellige community is huge. It

1052
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: is huge, and to refer to it as one entity

1053
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: or one an organization or one organism even is it

1054
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: gives you a false sense of what's going on. So

1055
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: that that's just a little bit of backdrop for you

1056
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: to know. And then I'll tell you a bit about here,

1057
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: this whole seventeen versus four. Here's the problem with the seventeen.

1058
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: People keep saying, oh, well, a little bit, this is

1059
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: down in the weeds. But I'll explain because you're gonna

1060
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: keep hearing about this. Yes, seventeen agencies didn't have access

1061
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: to the information or weren't part of the analytic process.

1062
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: First of all, in every agency or organization within the

1063
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,439
Speaker 1: intelligence community, there are only some people dealing with any

1064
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: given issue, right, So it's not like it's not like

1065
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: you walk in and and and everybody in the whole

1066
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: place like, oh, do you hear about the Russia thing

1067
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: that's going on? That's not that's not how these things work, right,

1068
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: their specialization as you would, as you can assume within

1069
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: these organizations. But when he talks with the seventeen versus

1070
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: the four um, Yeah, the the opposite Director of National

1071
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: Intelligence speaks for the community. And so it's like when

1072
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: somebody is the spokesperson for a company. You're not hearing

1073
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: from every division and every you know, if this were

1074
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: in the corporate world of private tech, you're not gonna

1075
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: hear from every thing, but you're gonna whatever the spokesperson

1076
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: says you take as or even in a simpler way,

1077
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: look at the you know, the West Wing and the

1078
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: way the White House works, right, the White House Press

1079
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Secretary speaks for the administration. That doesn't mean that every person,

1080
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: it's not representative every person's opinion in the administration. But

1081
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: that's the official. So that's how the National Intelligence Director,

1082
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: the Director of National Intelligence. That's how it works. That's

1083
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the summary opinion from the necessary components, and it so, yeah,

1084
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: it's not it's not right to say that all seventeen

1085
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: we're looking at it. Okay, fine, but the four speak

1086
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: for the seventeen. And so this is where you get

1087
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: all this back and forth and you get people that

1088
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: are all pedantic about it everything else. And hopefully I'm

1089
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: not one of those people. Now. I'm just trying to

1090
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: tell you so you know, um and many who are

1091
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: in the ICE, because I got a lot of fantastic

1092
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: people in the I C who do listen to this show.

1093
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 1: Many of you do know, and you're like, yes, indeed,

1094
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: and indeed what Buck is saying is correct, fantastic. So

1095
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: that's one part of this. And then there's the other part,

1096
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: which is there are all these people now who are saying,

1097
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, Clapper and Brennan, I mean, they're just auditioning

1098
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: for roles in the next administration. Right. One of them

1099
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: definitely wants to be like secretary of State and the

1100
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: other probably wants to be I don't know, or they

1101
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: just know that hey beyond CNN beyond it's it's a

1102
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: great gig to be on the y a lecture circuit.

1103
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: And if you want to be on that circuit and

1104
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: your former administration person, Brennan Clapper, these types, you you

1105
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: gotta be anti Trump. The money is still an anti

1106
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: Trump on a lecture circuit and books and all that.

1107
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: So there's a financial incentive here for people like the

1108
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Clappers and the and the Brennans of the world too.

1109
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: Um oh. Senator Ted Cruz breaking here, says I'm not

1110
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: able to tell the people of Alabama to support his

1111
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: candidacy as long as these allegations remain unrefuted. That just

1112
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: broke while I'm on air here. So okay, So that

1113
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: you get Ted Cruz saying, but look Ted Cruz, a lawyer,

1114
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: very smart guy, remains unrefuted. He is not saying I'm out.

1115
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: He sent I'm out. Unless that's irone that is import

1116
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: that is important. Wiggle row him that the centers leaving

1117
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: himself under circumstance. All right, but thank you for the

1118
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: heads up on that tie. Uh okay, But now back

1119
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: to Brennan and Clapper. These guys are out there and

1120
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: they are just hammering because Trump met with Putin In.

1121
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Uh the was it the Philippines or Vietnam? I forget now,

1122
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: it was one of those two conscious is all right?

1123
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: And one of those two it doesn't. I mean, it

1124
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,479
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter, right. And he met with and people

1125
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: like Buck get the facts right. He met with Putin

1126
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 1: briefly and they talked. And that's where you have this

1127
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: whole problem of who does Trump believe? Does Trump believe

1128
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: his own intelligence communities? He believed Putin? Trump is saying, Look,

1129
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: Putin says it, and I think he believes what he's saying.

1130
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: What I want to know is, well, before I tell

1131
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 1: you what I think, let me show you what. Let

1132
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: me tell you what. Clapper and Brennan Clapper's former d

1133
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: n I Director of National Intelligence. Brennan is former c

1134
01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: I A director, which was my former organization, Uh, you know,

1135
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: making the foemiest, most delicious lattes of any analysts on

1136
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: the planet. That was my that was my gig. Clapper

1137
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: as well as deployed to some war zones. But whatever

1138
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 1: Clapper said the following about the whole Russia Trump situation,

1139
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,959
Speaker 1: but it really wasn't much of a template or rule

1140
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: book for how to handle a situation like this. I

1141
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: think what was done was appropriate. I guess you could

1142
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: you could go back and say, well, we should have

1143
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: been more aggressive or done something earlier. I don't know,

1144
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: but there were there were good reasons why. Uh, there

1145
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: was a caution indiscretion here. It's very important. He's talking

1146
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: about how the Obama administration handled the Russia influence operation

1147
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: during the course of the election cycle. You'll notice that

1148
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to that, he's saying, we're very, very

1149
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: important to uh. I know it sounds a little too

1150
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: much like David Gergan, but you know, I'm trying. I

1151
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: gotta work on my Clapper. It's kind of you know,

1152
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: it's down here. Um, it's not quite gurgling with Gurgan,

1153
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: but it's a similar in a in a similar part

1154
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: of the voice register. But Clapper is saying that there

1155
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 1: were reasons not to go all in crazy anti Russia.

1156
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, they're over essentially what he's saying, because look,

1157
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: there was a need for nuance. You're still dealing with

1158
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,439
Speaker 1: the Russia that has thousands of nuclear missiles, a very

1159
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,919
Speaker 1: large and cable military, and has the ability to hurt

1160
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: us in a whole bunch of ways. If we get

1161
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: too aggressive with them. So look, we had to time.

1162
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: Oh oh, so for Obama, then there's room for why

1163
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: don't we back off Russia a little bit? Here you'll

1164
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: notice that, So for Obama there's reason not to just

1165
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're saying, tell the whole country about

1166
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 1: the fact that Russia was trying to subvert our electoral process.

1167
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: The Russia was trying to throw an election. Think about that.

1168
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: That must be some pretty there must be some pretty

1169
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: powerful stuff that we're concerned about on the Russian side.

1170
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: If it's if it's okay to hold back for Obama.

1171
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: But now when it comes to the Trump administration in Russia,

1172
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: there is no such thing as aggressive enough. There is

1173
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: no such thing as quieting the critics on this. Here's

1174
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: what former CI director Brennan said about Trump's discussions with

1175
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: Putin recently and just as general approach to Russia. I

1176
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: think Mr Trump is, for whatever reason, either intimidated by

1177
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 1: Mr Putin, afraid of what he could do or what

1178
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: might come out as a result of these investigations. So

1179
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: it's very very worrisome. Okay, So do you see what

1180
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 1: we've established here with these two soundbites from these two

1181
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: very senior former intelligence officers. You see, we've established here

1182
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: when Clappers talking about Obama and how Obama reacts to Russia,

1183
01:05:57,640 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: hold on everybody, there's nuance. You know, we don't want

1184
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: to get we want to be too aggressive with the Russians.

1185
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 1: You know, there were reasons why Obama didn't sound all

1186
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 1: the alarms and and get about Russia as as they claim,

1187
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: at least I mean, I think this is all hyperventilated nonsense,

1188
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: but as they claim, as the intelligence assessment claims, for

1189
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: the community trying to throw an election. So there were

1190
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: reasons for nuance on that then as it was happening,

1191
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: because we're talking about a Democrat president. But now we've

1192
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: got a Republican president. Now Donald Trump is in the

1193
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 1: White House. And you'll notice Brennan saying that essentially Trump

1194
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 1: is afraid of Putin. He's scared, you know, he's he's

1195
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 1: being a whimp towards Putin. And it just makes me wonder,

1196
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: what do they think at this point in time Trump

1197
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 1: is supposed to do about the Russia intervention in the

1198
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: election storyline? What would make them happy? How what has

1199
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 1: to happen for Trump? What does he have to do

1200
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: so that I and you don't have to watch Brannan

1201
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: and Clapper and these others go on TV, on CNN

1202
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 1: and MSNBC night after night saying he's scared of Russia.

1203
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: Russia has got something on him. He's not standing up

1204
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: to Russia and he's not holding them accountable for their

1205
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: election interference? How how could he hold them accountable? Do

1206
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: we really think if if Trump sat down with Putin

1207
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: at a press conference and said, you know, Putin, you're

1208
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: lying to me, which is what they wanted to say.

1209
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,959
Speaker 1: They're very clever, but you're lying to me. You try

1210
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 1: to mess with our last election and we're not having it.

1211
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Do you do you think then they would stop talking

1212
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,439
Speaker 1: about Russia collusion in the election. Of course not. They're

1213
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 1: just looking for any excuse to continue on with that narrative.

1214
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: And there's nothing that Trump can do to quiet them.

1215
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,479
Speaker 1: And in fact, even I think up to the point

1216
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 1: of recklessness from Trump if he were to be reckless,

1217
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: if he was to say, hey, Putin, you know what,

1218
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: you're a punk, your scum, and we're going to increase

1219
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna throw even more sanctions at you for your

1220
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: election interference, and we we have no no areas where

1221
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: we can work cooperatively with you or constructively with you

1222
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 1: because of what you did in the election. Even if

1223
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 1: he did all that, they would still say, oh, well,

1224
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 1: now he's just trying. Now Trump's just trying to cover up.

1225
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: He's just he cannot win. There is nothing that this

1226
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: president can do. I mean this, and I challenge anybody

1227
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: to come up with a counter narrative that is sensible

1228
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: and true. There's nothing this president can do when it

1229
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 1: comes to Russia that would get his critics to stop

1230
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 1: saying that he is a pawn of pudent, that he

1231
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: is scared of putin, that that he doesn't care about

1232
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 1: the that he was part of the election. Clusion it

1233
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. And so when they critique him and suggest

1234
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 1: that somehow they're being fair minded in their assessment of

1235
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: Trump Russia policy, it's just laughable. Although it's about a

1236
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: very serious business, but it's a it's a preposterous position

1237
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 1: that they take and I'm just sick of it. And

1238
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: it's fine Clapper and Brennan. I wish they would say

1239
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 1: something that was useful or helpful at some point, but

1240
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: they are partisan hacks. It's just reality. I'm glad I

1241
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 1: wasn't working. I'm glad I wasn't working for although I

1242
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 1: don't know it was Clapper technically I might have kind

1243
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 1: of worked for Clapper if he was at the head

1244
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: of the I see one. I don't even remember the

1245
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: guy the I'm gonna let you in ano little secret

1246
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence, the CIA directors he's got, he's

1247
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: doing stuff. There's stuff that goes on that this, you know,

1248
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: the director is important. The d N I it's kind

1249
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 1: of like a bureaucratic ceremonial post for the most part,

1250
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, how many guys can you really

1251
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 1: have looking at the same information trying to share with

1252
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 1: the bran anyway, It's just it's just not it's not

1253
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: that cool. No no fly kicks and and ninja stars

1254
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: and and laser pens and stuff in the d and

1255
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: I d na's office. I could promise you that's that's

1256
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,520
Speaker 1: not happening. We'll be right back. It's the most interesting

1257
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: political corruption case since Rod Blagoyevich good hair, by the way,

1258
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 1: we were, I respect the swoop. Lagoevich had a solid

1259
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: quoth but the most interesting political corruption trial since then,

1260
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 1: with with the Senator Menendez and here's the update on

1261
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: as of a few hours ago. After more than two

1262
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 1: months this courtesy of Politico and deliberations, UH two months

1263
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,639
Speaker 1: of testimony deliberations, the corruption case against US Senator Robert

1264
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:22,799
Speaker 1: Menendez is on the verge of a mistrial. On Monday afternoon,

1265
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 1: after deliberating for about two hours, the jury foreman sent

1266
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: a note to Judge William Walls stating that the panel

1267
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: was deadlocked on all accounts against the Democratic senator and

1268
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: his co defendant, Florida I Dr Solomon Meligan as of

1269
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: two pm on behalf of all jurors, we cannot reach

1270
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: a unanimous decision on any of the charges. Is there

1271
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,759
Speaker 1: any additional guidance? What do we do now? The judge

1272
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: then reread some of the instructions, and you must make

1273
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: a determination on of whether the government has met its

1274
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,560
Speaker 1: burden beyond a reasonable doubt. So they can't figure, I

1275
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 1: mean so at least that means it's close, right, They're

1276
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: not unanimous and anything, But it means that some people

1277
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: think this. Some people think that, but you know what else?

1278
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: Do you know what else does not have unanimity? That

1279
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: Democrats think that he should resign if in fact he

1280
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: is convicted. There seems to be a little bit of

1281
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: a want want not really not really wanted to talk

1282
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 1: about this one Senator Chris van Holland of Maryland, for example,

1283
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:22,759
Speaker 1: when asked if Menendez should be removed or stepped down

1284
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,640
Speaker 1: if convicted by a jury of his peers. This is

1285
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: what the senator from Maryland had to say. If that

1286
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 1: jury convicts him, convicts him, not allegations, but a conviction,

1287
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: should he step down? Chris, he We're gonna leave this

1288
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: decision to the jury, and I'm not gonna get ahead

1289
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 1: of the game. Uh. People on the jury will look

1290
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: at the facts, just like people in Alabama will have

1291
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,839
Speaker 1: to get the facts, and they'll have to render a decision.

1292
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: This is a really easy question. If guilty of a

1293
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,040
Speaker 1: lot of felonies, should a sitting US sent senator and

1294
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 1: will no longer be a senator? The answer is yes.

1295
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: The answer is not. Let's not get now. Keep in mind,

1296
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: this isn't about affecting the outcome, or this isn't about

1297
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 1: this is about the following. I don't think Democrats are

1298
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: gonna necessarily go along if this guy's convicted. I mean,

1299
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 1: if a mistrial looks like they may they may have

1300
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 1: to have a retrial, and who knows where this goes, right,

1301
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 1: But if he is convicted and we know it's close,

1302
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 1: because the jury is not like this is ridiculous. We're done,

1303
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 1: not guilty. I mean, the jury clearly is like, well

1304
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,640
Speaker 1: maybe although someone of the jury asked what are the senator?

1305
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 1: Recently you saw that they asked that, They asked, what

1306
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: is a senator? It's a sad day for American you know,

1307
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: civic knowledge. It's not great, you know, I mean because

1308
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: technically it's a it's it's an ice hockey player, right,

1309
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: isn't right? Bam? Mind sploded right there. Just everyone gave

1310
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:56,879
Speaker 1: me the thumbs up. I'm in fact correct. A senator

1311
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 1: isn't ice hockey player. So there you go. Where where

1312
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:04,879
Speaker 1: are they from? Tie? Ottawa? Thank you, thank you. Everyone's

1313
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: nice up in Ottawa. Okay. So there's one o. But

1314
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: we got more. We are more. Senator Dick Durbin of

1315
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 1: Illinois when I asked the same question about whether a

1316
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: sitting senator convicted of multiple felonies, multiple corruption felonies mind

1317
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 1: you having to do with the exercise of his official duties,

1318
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,799
Speaker 1: should he step down if in fact they convicted felon.

1319
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:32,560
Speaker 1: Here's what Dick Durbin says. If your colleague, Senator Bob Menendez,

1320
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: New Jersey Democrat is convicted on the corruption charges he's

1321
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,639
Speaker 1: on trial right now, the jury is still deliberating, will

1322
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: you vote to expel him. I'm not gonna get into

1323
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 1: the hypotheticals on either of these situations. As I said,

1324
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: several steps removed, hopefully all of a sudden done that

1325
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 1: Bob Menendez will be returning to the Senate representing the

1326
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: state of New Jersey. Look at this, it's almost like

1327
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: they've been distributed talking points or something. The Democrats said

1328
01:13:57,400 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 1: it to tell him just you know, don't answer, just

1329
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: don't answer, or don't make it seem real. Don't answer

1330
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 1: the question, even though right right now, I mean the

1331
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 1: jury could theoretically tomorrow I think I guess they've been

1332
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 1: sent home. I'm assuming the jury could come back and

1333
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: be like, you know what, yeah, he's guilty. So this

1334
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 1: isn't like we're well, I don't I don't want to

1335
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: get into hypotheticals. It's not like, really I it's more

1336
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: of a like we're gonna find out in a day

1337
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: or so probably, so maybe you want to tell us.

1338
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: And maybe here's here's just an opportunity for democrats if

1339
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: they believe in end As is innocent, if they believe

1340
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,599
Speaker 1: he did nothing wrong, isn't this an opportunity to show

1341
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: that they believe in integrity, honesty, fair play. That a

1342
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 1: criminal conviction for a Democrat is a bad thing. I

1343
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 1: mean they think that mere accusations without any conviction should

1344
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,559
Speaker 1: be enough to stop somebody from having a political office

1345
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: and having their career destroyed. So wouldn't a conviction by

1346
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 1: a jury of once peers as the U. S Senator

1347
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 1: be a clear Oh no, they're not clear on that.

1348
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: Because you know power political. You are now entering the

1349
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 1: technical operation the center. All sensitive programs must be kept strictly.

1350
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 1: Need to know Team Bucket is cleared and ready to

1351
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: the butt breeze. Tensions rising in Lebanon. That may not

1352
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: be a headline that gets all that much attention over here.

1353
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 1: Lebanon is a small country on the coast of the

1354
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: Mediterranean Eastern Mediterranean borders. Israel has a long history, unfortunately

1355
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 1: in the in the twentieth century of conflict, including a

1356
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 1: fifteen year long civil war from nineteen seventy five or

1357
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: so to nine Why is Lebanon and the headlines again?

1358
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 1: Why are we worried? Why should we care about what's

1359
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: happening in this tiny UH Muslim majority Arab country on

1360
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 1: the eastern Mediterranean basin. Let me tell you a little story.

1361
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:58,639
Speaker 1: Back on the third of November, sad Harrearri, the Prime

1362
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 1: Minister of UH, Prime Minister of Lebanon, was having a

1363
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 1: lunch with the French Cultural Minister of Francois Nissen Harar.

1364
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: We got a phone call. Rory got up from that

1365
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:15,360
Speaker 1: lunch and he made his way to the airport right away,

1366
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 1: did not bring any aids with him. He hopped on

1367
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:24,600
Speaker 1: a plane and went to Rha, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

1368
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: He arrived in Saudi Arabia, not to a high level

1369
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: diplomatic welcome, not to have any Saudi officials on the scene,

1370
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: but just merely Saudi police waiting for him. We don't

1371
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 1: know exactly what happened later on that day, but we

1372
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 1: do know that Sad Harari, Lebanon's Prime minister and also

1373
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 1: the son of the assassinated Rafik Hariri, who was killed,

1374
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,640
Speaker 1: I believe back in two thousand and five by a

1375
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 1: massive car bomb that was by the international community uh

1376
01:16:56,600 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 1: and obviously blamed on the Assad regime working also through

1377
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 1: Bellah or which works with Hezbollah. But Sadharri then in

1378
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, but a few days ago read out on

1379
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: TV in Saudi Arabia in a Saudi owned TV station

1380
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 1: TV network that he was resigning as prime minister, and

1381
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: this struck many people as quite strange. It's understood that

1382
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 1: he will be returning to Lebanon soon as I go

1383
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: to air. I don't believe he has made it there

1384
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: quite yet, but a prime minister of a country showing

1385
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 1: up in another country and saying on TV I'm out

1386
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: is unusual, to say the least. Here is why this

1387
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: is getting so much attention the Saudis, who are exerting

1388
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 1: more and more direct military influence in the region, including

1389
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: in a very brutal air campaign against Huthi rebels in Yemen.

1390
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: And I know there's no way to talk about this

1391
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,719
Speaker 1: without throwing We've got a lot of different place names

1392
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 1: and stuff going on at the same time. So I'm

1393
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 1: trying to work through it piece by piece because it's

1394
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: easy to get easy for me, easy for anyone to

1395
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: get lost in the complexities of what's going on here,

1396
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: But the Saudis don't like what's happening and are worried

1397
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:22,759
Speaker 1: about what's happening with the expansion of Iranian influence throughout

1398
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: the region. In fact, it is now possible to on

1399
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,600
Speaker 1: a map draw a virtual highway summer, calling it a

1400
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: Shia Crescent, but a a line straight through from Iran,

1401
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: through Iraq, through Syria and now through Lebanon, which, despite

1402
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: its power sharing agreement and a unity government, is in

1403
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: fact controlled by Hesbillah, a terrorist group which is aligned

1404
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: with the Assad regime in Syria, which is aligned with

1405
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 1: Syrian Iraqi Shia militias which are aligned with and directed

1406
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: by the Mullah's into Iran. This Shia influence highway that

1407
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 1: goes all the way now from Tehran from from Iran,

1408
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:12,840
Speaker 1: and I should know it also stretches into Afghanistan with

1409
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 1: the Taliban, and so that is if you want to

1410
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 1: take the full crescent, it's it's Afghanistan into Iran, into

1411
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:22,680
Speaker 1: a Rock, into Syria, into Lebanon, which takes you to

1412
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: the Mediterranean coast. So this is from a power politics,

1413
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: from a great game perspective, thinking back to the era

1414
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:40,959
Speaker 1: of the the moves on the geopolitical chessboard between Russia,

1415
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 1: Great Britain France UM. From a a great great Game

1416
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: twenty one century perspective, Shia influences growing very rapidly, and

1417
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 1: the Saudias are trying to blunt it and they are

1418
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,679
Speaker 1: confronting it. Now this could sound like a good thing,

1419
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,600
Speaker 1: but nobody really knows exactly how this is going to

1420
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: play out and the possibility of it igniting a war

1421
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: in Lebanon, which let's be clear, a war in Lebanon,

1422
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:12,719
Speaker 1: as we saw from the previous Civil War n would

1423
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:18,759
Speaker 1: bring in regional actors, obviously Syria and yes even most

1424
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: likely the Israelis as well. Has happened with the Lebany

1425
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 1: Civil War. In fact, the Lebany Civil War, which led

1426
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:31,520
Speaker 1: to the Israeli incursion into southern Lebanon, was the genesis

1427
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 1: of Hezbollah. That is where Hesbillah came from fighting the

1428
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: Israelis in southern Lebanon. Now there were radical Shia there

1429
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: to begin with, and they also bomb the US Marine

1430
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 1: barracks in Beirut, and these are all there is a

1431
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 1: very tough for small geographic area the map, but very

1432
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 1: complicated civil war UM. But it would be much more

1433
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:02,599
Speaker 1: than just a fight between the different factions Maronite Christian Drew's,

1434
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 1: Shia Muslim Sunni Muslim in Lebanon. It would be a

1435
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: mass that would bring in other regional players um and

1436
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: the destabilization of Lebanon would be a major concern for

1437
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: the whole region because of all the things I'm talking

1438
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 1: bringing all these other players and you'd have yet another

1439
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 1: proxy battlefield because the Sunni Arabs of Saudi Arabia would

1440
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 1: be backing the Sunni Arab factions in Lebanon, and the

1441
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 1: Shia Hezbollah would be getting it's backing from Iran and

1442
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 1: from Assad. So Iranian projection of power in the region

1443
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: has been on the rise. It rose particularly quickly under

1444
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:49,479
Speaker 1: the Obama administration because President Obama for eight years was

1445
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 1: dedicated to getting in Iran nuclear deal. That was the

1446
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 1: foreign policy legacy, the entire foreign policy legacy of the

1447
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: Obama administration in the Middle East. So they were willing

1448
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: to pay a high price for it, and they did.

1449
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: Iraq is now the government in Baghdad is now operating

1450
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:10,600
Speaker 1: largely as a satellite government of Tehran of the Iranians.

1451
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 1: They're doing their bidding, and we just saw the abandonment

1452
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,959
Speaker 1: of the Kurds by yes, the US and our allies

1453
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:23,679
Speaker 1: two Shia backed bullying in Iraq much too, I should

1454
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 1: note our foreign policy shame. And the Assad regime was

1455
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: propped up by Iranian fighters in Syria as well as

1456
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 1: by Russian air and other assistants, and now Lebanon would

1457
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:39,639
Speaker 1: be yet another battleground. So right now, if you look

1458
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 1: at a map of the Middle East and see where

1459
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 1: the fights are and who the players are, you have

1460
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 1: a Sunni Shia Muslim fight in Yemen. You have a

1461
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 1: Sunni Shia Muslim struggle in Iraq, the same in Syria.

1462
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 1: Re member the Assad regime is Allo white, but they're

1463
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 1: also a Sunni Shia divide, and the Aloe white are

1464
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,760
Speaker 1: are Shia, but not really. It's the kind of its

1465
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 1: own thing. But there's a Sunny Shia divide playing out

1466
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: inside of Syria, and then there has been in the

1467
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: past and continues to be a divide in Lebanon. And

1468
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 1: the Saudias are getting a little bit ah, a little

1469
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 1: bit unpredictable. Mom Mohammed been Salmon MBS. The Crown Prince

1470
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: recently decided that I think it was eleven very prominent Salutis,

1471
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 1: including members of the royal family and some business Some

1472
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 1: billionaires should be under house arrest in the five star

1473
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: Ritz Carlton in Riodd So there has been a they're

1474
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: calling it a corruption crackdown. It seems like a consolidation

1475
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 1: of authority and power in the crown. Prince uh Mohammed

1476
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 1: been Solomon's hands. But why is he consolidating power right now?

1477
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: We'd like to think it's for some modernizing and uns is.

1478
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: We'd like to think it's because he will bring Saudi

1479
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:07,559
Speaker 1: Arabia into a more twenty one century mindset is a country.

1480
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 1: But what if it's because he's gearing up for much

1481
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 1: more open conflict in these different proxy battle fields. Remember

1482
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 1: this is not Iran and Saudi going at it, although

1483
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:23,800
Speaker 1: that also could happen here. But when you have a

1484
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 1: militant group like the Hoothies. There are a rebel faction

1485
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 1: in Yemen, which is a whole other conflict that is

1486
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 1: underway right now. The Saudis have been waging a particularly

1487
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:39,719
Speaker 1: destructive air campaign against the Hoothies. It's really broke. Yemen

1488
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 1: is now broken up between the Sale faction. Sally was

1489
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 1: the former presidents and is with the Hoothies who are

1490
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: Iranian backed. This is now in Yemen right right off

1491
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 1: of Saudi Arabia, part of the the Arabian Peninsula, and there's

1492
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:59,799
Speaker 1: the Sala Hoothi element, and then there's also the Hatti

1493
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 1: h and coalition Saudi back coalition elements, and we are

1494
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 1: supportive of that side of it. Hatty was the more

1495
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: recent president of Yemen and now the country is split

1496
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 1: and the Iranians are backing these hoothies who fired a

1497
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 1: missile that the Saudis are saying was an Iranian missile

1498
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 1: fired a missile at a Saudi airport in Rio. Because

1499
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 1: we're not talking about when youre talking about Yemen and Saudi.

1500
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: This is you know, this is like Main and you know, uh,

1501
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: what's the what's the French Montreal? I mean, this is

1502
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 1: this is there. They're not our main in Vermont. I mean,

1503
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: they're not far from each other, right, This is just

1504
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:44,680
Speaker 1: across the border. And the Saudis are looking at the

1505
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 1: situation saying, hold on, if the Hoothy rebels can fire

1506
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: missiles at our airport in Riad with impunity, um, what

1507
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 1: does that mean? Now? Their Saudi response has been ah

1508
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 1: strong in terms of a lot of souls, a lot

1509
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,200
Speaker 1: of bombs dropped. I don't know what it's really doing

1510
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 1: in terms of the security situation at this point, other

1511
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,879
Speaker 1: than hastening what seems to be a multi million person

1512
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: famine very much not getting media headlines. But there are

1513
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 1: children who are literally starving to death in Yemen right

1514
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 1: now because the Saudis have a blockade in effect of

1515
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:23,479
Speaker 1: all humanitarian aid. This is a mess. This is a mess.

1516
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 1: And the two biggest powers in the Middle East, now

1517
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: you'll notice that post Arab Spring, the Egyptians. They were

1518
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: our lynchpin of our Midi strategy other than the Israelis

1519
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 1: from from a Muslim perspective, from a Muslim country's perspective,

1520
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 1: the Egyptians were essential. Now they're they're side players. They

1521
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: got their own problems. It's the Saudis versus the Iranians,

1522
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 1: It's the Sunni versus the Shia. This is a civil

1523
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 1: war between factions of one of the largest religions on

1524
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:56,599
Speaker 1: the planet, and it could get out of control at

1525
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 1: any point in time. So that's what's going. That's why

1526
01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 1: the prime minister resigning on air in Saudi Arabia, prime

1527
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 1: Minister elevelent. That's why it matters because this could bring

1528
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 1: the saud East to just go openly after the Uranians

1529
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 1: in ways that we have not seen before. All right,

1530
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 1: we're gonna run into a break here. We got We're

1531
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: gonna talk about this editorial about an editorial writer asks

1532
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 1: the question and answers it, Can you allow your children

1533
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: to be friends with if you're black, your friends with

1534
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 1: white kids? We'll get to that, and then also got

1535
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 1: some great guests stay with me. Russia collusion, the investigation, Mueller,

1536
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 1: it continues on. I know it's not going to stop.

1537
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,120
Speaker 1: And as a result of that, we should all be

1538
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 1: very clear that we need the answers here. We need

1539
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:39,719
Speaker 1: to get to the truth. We can't just to allow

1540
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,640
Speaker 1: the narrative to spin out of control and to have

1541
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 1: a clear partisan and quite possibly dishonest effect. So who's

1542
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,760
Speaker 1: been digging deep into all this lately. Kim Strassel. That's

1543
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: who she's with us now. She's the author of The

1544
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: Intimidation Game, which is a fantastic book. She's also a

1545
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:58,519
Speaker 1: columist of The Wall Street Journal, where she's on the

1546
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: editorial board. Lit thing the Steel Curtains. She wrote recently

1547
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:04,719
Speaker 1: in The Wall Street Journal. Kim great to have you back.

1548
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 1: It's great to be here. So you just tell us

1549
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 1: what you're looking at right now with regard to Fusion, GPS,

1550
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:16,080
Speaker 1: the dossier, Steel, and where things stand based on what

1551
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 1: we know as of now. Well, so much has been

1552
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:24,200
Speaker 1: focused buck on the Trump collusion narrative, even though there's

1553
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 1: been no evidence yet that anything that was in that dossier,

1554
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:32,800
Speaker 1: that infamous dossier, has ever been substantiated. I think there's

1555
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 1: a different way to look at the dossier, which is

1556
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:38,599
Speaker 1: in fact, the way that the Hillary Clinton campaign ended

1557
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:41,720
Speaker 1: up using it during the election and in ways that

1558
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 1: benefited Democrats. And uh, the dossier it's from right now,

1559
01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:49,760
Speaker 1: we we don't know for a fact, but it has

1560
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,760
Speaker 1: at least been suggested suggested that it was perhaps the

1561
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:57,600
Speaker 1: basis for, or least part of the basis for the

1562
01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 1: entire counterintelligence investigation of Russia collusion, meaning Trump and the

1563
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 1: Trump campaign. Right Because here's what we know. We know

1564
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 1: that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee

1565
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:13,799
Speaker 1: hired an opposition to research firm, Fusion. Fusion then hired

1566
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:19,240
Speaker 1: this former British spy, Christopher Steele, who then put together

1567
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 1: this dossier based on Russian sources. And we know that

1568
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:26,719
Speaker 1: he took it in July of to the FBI. And

1569
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 1: if you start to look at the timeline, and there's

1570
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 1: been some good work starting to come out on this

1571
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 1: now Byron York had a very good piece in the

1572
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,559
Speaker 1: Washington Examiner. Um. The timeline is such that this is

1573
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 1: right around not long after that that Jim Comb, we

1574
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 1: started briefing members of Congress on a potential counter intelligence

1575
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 1: investigation into the Trump campaign. UM. And we go from there.

1576
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:51,440
Speaker 1: And so it is a legitimate question. Was this dossier

1577
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:54,719
Speaker 1: the basis of the wire tapping and all the claims

1578
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:58,479
Speaker 1: that we've heard so far that have not yet been substantiated. Kim,

1579
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:01,360
Speaker 1: if you could pass along question SS to the House

1580
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:05,799
Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee and the various bodies that are now investing,

1581
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:08,960
Speaker 1: Hey Mueller's team, why not, right? But if you could

1582
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 1: pass along questions and and and hopefully get some answers

1583
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:15,840
Speaker 1: about the dossier as it stands right now, what remains

1584
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 1: to be known that we could know that you think

1585
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 1: we should and when we would like to find out

1586
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 1: about the dossier? Two major things. The first one was

1587
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 1: what we just mentioned. Did the FBI rely on a

1588
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:34,680
Speaker 1: document that, by the way, was an opposition research document,

1589
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 1: didn't commission by one campaign during an election. Did they

1590
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:43,840
Speaker 1: rely on a document politicized document to start a counter

1591
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 1: intelligence probe into a separate presidential campaign. I think that

1592
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 1: that's really important. The FBI would have that information. And

1593
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:54,680
Speaker 1: by the way, did Jim Combey know what the origins

1594
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:57,040
Speaker 1: of this document were? And if so, how would he

1595
01:30:57,160 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 1: justify using an as inse Clinton campaign documents? So that's

1596
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:04,320
Speaker 1: one question. The other really important question, if you if

1597
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 1: you can get to it, was were the Russians aware

1598
01:31:08,479 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 1: of this effort? And did they in some way manipulate

1599
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 1: this dossier in order to affect US politics? Speaking of

1600
01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:18,960
Speaker 1: Kim Strassell, who's the author of The Intimidation Game and

1601
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 1: a columnist at the Wall Street Journal, Kim, if I'm

1602
01:31:21,520 --> 01:31:24,559
Speaker 1: a tax reform, a lot of talk about it on

1603
01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 1: the various cable news channels. Uh, what do you think?

1604
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean? Is it going to get done? And is

1605
01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:33,280
Speaker 1: it going to have the impact that right now the

1606
01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:35,760
Speaker 1: administration is is telling the American people that it will

1607
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:39,599
Speaker 1: in terms of growth, prosperity, jobs, all that good stuff. Well,

1608
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,320
Speaker 1: just from my conversations, I can tell you there is

1609
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 1: an intense desire to get this done and more unanimity

1610
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:49,360
Speaker 1: among Republicans than I saw in any way, shape or

1611
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 1: form with healthcare, and so I think that bodes very

1612
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 1: well and they're keeping to their time lines, which is

1613
01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 1: also very encouraging. I do think that the bill will

1614
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 1: be horton for the economy. If it passes, it could

1615
01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 1: really have a big impact because the crown jewels of

1616
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:08,759
Speaker 1: it are the corporate side, which is big reduction, corporate

1617
01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 1: tax rates, immediate expensing. All of these things are great

1618
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:15,720
Speaker 1: not just for corporate America and in small businesses, but

1619
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 1: for the workers to work for them. Could it be better? Yes,

1620
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:22,760
Speaker 1: I think the individual code side, Uh, really, there could

1621
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:25,639
Speaker 1: be a lot more that would be done. The decision

1622
01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:30,040
Speaker 1: by Republicans to go along with the top tax bracket

1623
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:32,720
Speaker 1: on higher income earners, we know that that is not

1624
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 1: a good thing for the economy and it's a pity

1625
01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:37,120
Speaker 1: they gave into that. Politics. You think the state and

1626
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:39,920
Speaker 1: local is still a major stumbling block for those listening.

1627
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:41,640
Speaker 1: This means that for people, because a lot of you

1628
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 1: don't live in blue states, that this is as much

1629
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 1: of a big issue. But for some people live in

1630
01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 1: high tax states like New York, California, New Jersey, being

1631
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:52,640
Speaker 1: able to deduct state and local is a big benefit.

1632
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 1: And if you take that away, those states that are

1633
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:59,160
Speaker 1: already losing people in terms of movement for jobs and

1634
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:01,639
Speaker 1: trying to find that our business climates to begin with,

1635
01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 1: those states will be in rough shape. Do you think

1636
01:33:04,439 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 1: they're going to have a compromise. Do you think the

1637
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: state and local will go away? Well, there might be

1638
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 1: some compromise. What we are seeing, and I think this

1639
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,559
Speaker 1: is great, is now a push by some outside tax

1640
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 1: reform groups actually putting some pressure on some blue state

1641
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 1: Republicans saying, look, you promise tax reform, don't get caught

1642
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:24,160
Speaker 1: up on this. You need to move ahead, get over

1643
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 1: it as it were. You see the Senate they put

1644
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:31,280
Speaker 1: out an analysis today showing the various amounts that people

1645
01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:34,479
Speaker 1: will get back and save and and taxes by a

1646
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:37,759
Speaker 1: state by state breakout showing that even those blue states

1647
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:40,040
Speaker 1: are going to do well. So you're you're seeing a

1648
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 1: pushback on this. I would love to see it go away. Buck.

1649
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:46,280
Speaker 1: This to me is actually one of the more exciting

1650
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:49,800
Speaker 1: parts of the entire tax bill, because yes, it would

1651
01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:52,599
Speaker 1: be painful in the start for some of those states

1652
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:55,040
Speaker 1: and the residents in them, but there can be no

1653
01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 1: more effective way of actually putting pressure on those state

1654
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:01,879
Speaker 1: governments to start reducing some of those state and local taxes.

1655
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:05,000
Speaker 1: Then there would be if their citizens finally weren't getting

1656
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 1: to write the Moss Kim stressful everybody, author of the

1657
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:11,719
Speaker 1: Intimidation Game columns Wall Street Journal. Check out her latest

1658
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 1: at Wall Street Journal or w s J dot com.

1659
01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:17,840
Speaker 1: Kim always a pleasure to have a great rest of

1660
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:21,200
Speaker 1: your week. Thank you so much, great thank you. The

1661
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:23,880
Speaker 1: New York Times, or as Trump refers to it, the

1662
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 1: failing New York Times, has no shortage of articles that

1663
01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 1: any fair minded person would become very agitated after reading,

1664
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:39,000
Speaker 1: would feel like, uh, the message contained in the article,

1665
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:42,080
Speaker 1: whether it was an editorial or even the hard news space,

1666
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:47,800
Speaker 1: was damaging, was unfair, was wrong. But I have to

1667
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,679
Speaker 1: tell you, over the weekend I read what I would

1668
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:56,800
Speaker 1: put up there as among the very most damaging and

1669
01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 1: most destructive of all of the New York Times editorials

1670
01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:04,960
Speaker 1: that I can think of. And the title, I think

1671
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:07,880
Speaker 1: gives you a very good sense of where this is going.

1672
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:13,160
Speaker 1: The author is Eco Yanka and the title is can

1673
01:35:13,280 --> 01:35:20,040
Speaker 1: my children be Friends with White People? And you would

1674
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:24,120
Speaker 1: assume that somebody could only ask this question in this way,

1675
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 1: if it was likely that they were going to at

1676
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,559
Speaker 1: least saying that it would be tough. It would be

1677
01:35:29,600 --> 01:35:32,519
Speaker 1: tough for in this case, the the author of the piece,

1678
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:36,639
Speaker 1: who's African American, he would make some case about how

1679
01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:41,840
Speaker 1: his children becoming friends with other children who are white,

1680
01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:46,559
Speaker 1: that there's complexities to it. But in fact it's even

1681
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:50,040
Speaker 1: worse than that, because the author just straight up says that,

1682
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:56,920
Speaker 1: in uh, in his opinion, there is in fact no

1683
01:35:57,120 --> 01:36:02,000
Speaker 1: way that his children, as young Black Americans, can truly

1684
01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:05,439
Speaker 1: be friends with white children. And the New York Times

1685
01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 1: publishes this and takes this position is among the most

1686
01:36:11,360 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 1: irresponsible and damaging things I've read in the New York Times. Ever, Uh,

1687
01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:19,720
Speaker 1: it's and that's saying a lot. It says a lot

1688
01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 1: that this is the worst thing I've read in the

1689
01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:25,880
Speaker 1: New York Times in perhaps I don't know all time.

1690
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:29,439
Speaker 1: Let me give you, let me give you some of

1691
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:32,679
Speaker 1: the actual writing that we're talking about here, and remember

1692
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:37,679
Speaker 1: the pieces can my children be friends with white people?

1693
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 1: And as I get into the details, keep in mind

1694
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 1: that this author in the New York Times editorial page,

1695
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 1: he's telling you no, not really, you can they can

1696
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 1: be fond of that. They can think some white people are,

1697
01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:53,599
Speaker 1: but they can ever truly be friends. It's astonishing. Here's

1698
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:57,880
Speaker 1: what the writer goes goes into and here's some of

1699
01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 1: the details. But for bull of of color quote, the

1700
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:05,799
Speaker 1: stakes are different. Imagining we can now be friends across

1701
01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 1: the political aisles, asking us to ignore our safety and

1702
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:12,599
Speaker 1: that of our children, to abandon personal regard and self worth.

1703
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:16,360
Speaker 1: Only white people can, cording off Mr Trump's political meaning,

1704
01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 1: ignore the unpleasant, unpleasantness from a position of safety. His

1705
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:23,200
Speaker 1: election in the year that has followed have fixed the

1706
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:26,200
Speaker 1: awful thought in my mind to failure too familiar to

1707
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 1: Black Americans. You can't trust these people, um and then

1708
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 1: he goes into more detail here it is impossible to

1709
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 1: convey the mixture of heartbreak and fear I feel for him.

1710
01:37:40,120 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's election has made it clear that I will

1711
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 1: teach my boys the lesson generations old one that I,

1712
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:49,560
Speaker 1: for the most part, nearly escaped. I will teach them

1713
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:53,320
Speaker 1: to be cautious. I will teach them to be suspicious.

1714
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:56,800
Speaker 1: I will teach them to distrust much sooner than I

1715
01:37:56,840 --> 01:37:59,559
Speaker 1: thought I would. I will have to discuss with my

1716
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:03,719
Speaker 1: boy is whether they can truly be friends with white people,

1717
01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:07,479
Speaker 1: as against our gauzy national hopes. I will teach my

1718
01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 1: boys to have profound doubts that friendship with white people

1719
01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:20,960
Speaker 1: is possible. Uh. This is a complete and utter disgrace.

1720
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 1: This is more damaging in its message than anything that

1721
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:29,480
Speaker 1: I have read in the pages of a major newspaper

1722
01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:35,639
Speaker 1: in certainly in recent memory. And it is that this

1723
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:38,160
Speaker 1: is printed and written, and that there are some I mean,

1724
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:41,719
Speaker 1: I remember when I I just fired off a tweet

1725
01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:43,280
Speaker 1: in response to saying this is one of the most

1726
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:48,280
Speaker 1: destructive and uh and gross analyzes ever printed in the

1727
01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:51,479
Speaker 1: pages of the New York Times. As I have all this,

1728
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:54,080
Speaker 1: and I think to myself, how can anyone not see

1729
01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:57,519
Speaker 1: it this way? How can anyone not view this as

1730
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:03,839
Speaker 1: deeply her full to people who are not just friends

1731
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:07,439
Speaker 1: with white people, but people who are of well, in

1732
01:39:07,439 --> 01:39:09,559
Speaker 1: this case but African Americans, but could be of any

1733
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:14,800
Speaker 1: number of minority backgrounds who are married to white people.

1734
01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:19,719
Speaker 1: I've got Tyrone in here, raising his hand. Uh, Tyrone,

1735
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:21,840
Speaker 1: I think it is fair to say that one one

1736
01:39:21,920 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 1: can in fact be friends with and and deeply love

1737
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 1: and cherish white people as as life partners. In fact,

1738
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:33,160
Speaker 1: despite what this author says. Yes, you can as very easy.

1739
01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:35,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, Tyrone is clets know it is in fact

1740
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:38,320
Speaker 1: easy to be friends with and love wife. What I mean,

1741
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:39,920
Speaker 1: did you see this piece? I know I didn't bring

1742
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:41,559
Speaker 1: it to your attention before that we went on air.

1743
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 1: What do you think I read the whole piece because

1744
01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:46,800
Speaker 1: because I have a white wife, I want to see

1745
01:39:46,840 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 1: what he was talking about. And where I thought he

1746
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 1: was going to go was saying how there has been

1747
01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:57,760
Speaker 1: some insensitivity, perhaps from white people towards black people since

1748
01:39:57,800 --> 01:39:59,519
Speaker 1: Trump's election. That's where I thought it was gonna go.

1749
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:01,920
Speaker 1: I thought so too, for the record, go ahead, and

1750
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:04,080
Speaker 1: then it went to a place that I it didn't

1751
01:40:04,120 --> 01:40:07,519
Speaker 1: make any sense. You can't tell your kids that's you

1752
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:09,759
Speaker 1: can't do that. I wrote the quote from the piece

1753
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm quoting, and this is this is in a in

1754
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:14,880
Speaker 1: a sentence to the top of baragraph as against our

1755
01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:17,760
Speaker 1: Gauzia national hopes, I will teach my boys to have

1756
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:22,799
Speaker 1: profound doubts that friendship with white people as possible end quote.

1757
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:27,080
Speaker 1: He's not saying that white people may not understand the

1758
01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:30,120
Speaker 1: plight of lack America, that that's a totally understandable and

1759
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:32,320
Speaker 1: that that's a whole separate discuss. He's not saying that

1760
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:35,519
Speaker 1: Trump is just insensitive for the No. No, this is

1761
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:39,000
Speaker 1: I will teach my kids that they can't view white

1762
01:40:39,040 --> 01:40:41,799
Speaker 1: people the same way as they would non white people

1763
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 1: because of Trump, I guess, and structural racism. Can't be

1764
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 1: friends with is what he's saying. And that and that's

1765
01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:51,679
Speaker 1: the part that troubled me, because why are you putting

1766
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:53,760
Speaker 1: limits on your children? You should put no limits on

1767
01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:56,920
Speaker 1: your children. Their children, those limits come later, and it's

1768
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,160
Speaker 1: like they're not they're never going to duck a basketball.

1769
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:00,639
Speaker 1: You tell them, sorry, you can't be in the NBA.

1770
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:04,519
Speaker 1: Those limits don't shouldn't exist for children. And and it's

1771
01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:07,160
Speaker 1: almost to me it's like a form of brainwashing that's

1772
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:11,360
Speaker 1: going on here. It's borderline psychological childhoobuse. You're gonna tell

1773
01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:14,240
Speaker 1: people that they can't really? Can we just this is

1774
01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:16,080
Speaker 1: I know that people usually you know, they go, oh,

1775
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 1: that's not a fair comparison. But can we just imagine

1776
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:21,040
Speaker 1: for a second if a if a white person anywhere

1777
01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 1: in America wrote a piece about how look, because my

1778
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:27,720
Speaker 1: children can't really understand the plight of minorities, I'm just

1779
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:29,840
Speaker 1: gonna let them know that it will be difficult for

1780
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:33,879
Speaker 1: them to have minority friends. That author would be roundly

1781
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:37,799
Speaker 1: and rightfully condemned across the board for just the worst

1782
01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:41,840
Speaker 1: kind of racism imaginable. I read through this piece and I,

1783
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:44,120
Speaker 1: like you, Tyro, I was thinking that it was gonna

1784
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:45,599
Speaker 1: get into it, and it does make It does talk

1785
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:47,920
Speaker 1: about Trump, and you know what Trump has done and

1786
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:50,120
Speaker 1: our political Okay, that's all I get. That that's to

1787
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 1: be expected. But there are specific points in here at

1788
01:41:52,920 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 1: which the notion of white and black friendship is undermined

1789
01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 1: by the author. And I can't imagine a more damaging

1790
01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:03,200
Speaker 1: message for somebody to be writing The New York Times.

1791
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:06,120
Speaker 1: And it's going to his kids are going to be

1792
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:09,400
Speaker 1: in a in a mental prison, because how are they

1793
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:12,519
Speaker 1: going to exist? First of all, I have this idea

1794
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:14,600
Speaker 1: of this blog real quick, where one day I'm going

1795
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 1: to take a picture and say I'm the only black

1796
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:17,720
Speaker 1: guy in the room because I have a white wife.

1797
01:42:17,760 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 1: I spent a bunch of times it's the only black

1798
01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:21,519
Speaker 1: guy in the room. I made how often, Buck, are

1799
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 1: you the only white person in the room in your life?

1800
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:26,840
Speaker 1: What I mean is it's a black person. You can't

1801
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:30,040
Speaker 1: avoid white people and succeed. I think of how many.

1802
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's still in this country seventy or so

1803
01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 1: of the population is white. So this author is saying

1804
01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:37,400
Speaker 1: seventy percent of Americans you really can't be friends with.

1805
01:42:37,479 --> 01:42:39,000
Speaker 1: Never mind people who are white who are not America.

1806
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:40,559
Speaker 1: But I just mean, most of the people you meet

1807
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 1: day to day, you can't be friends with them. How

1808
01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:45,680
Speaker 1: can you exist like that? I just don't. And what

1809
01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:48,280
Speaker 1: was so amazing me, Tie, is that I also somebody

1810
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 1: last night from like I forgot it was US News

1811
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:52,600
Speaker 1: or Newsweek on these places when I tweeted out that

1812
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 1: this was a really gross editorial, was like, why don't

1813
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:58,280
Speaker 1: you explain how you know, why don't you explain That'm like,

1814
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 1: how does this need to be explain to doesn't need

1815
01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:02,800
Speaker 1: to explaining to anybody anyway, Tyranne, thank you for for

1816
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, as always weighing out. I mean, I'm just

1817
01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:07,200
Speaker 1: I just did here. And I think about how we

1818
01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:10,440
Speaker 1: have all these messages in the media of inclusion and diversity,

1819
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 1: and and I do often think that that even from

1820
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:17,680
Speaker 1: the far left, there there is some heart in the

1821
01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: right place, but you know, the policies that come from

1822
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:23,280
Speaker 1: it are bad when we're talking about things like, you know,

1823
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 1: diversity and inclusiveness and and the way that that manifests

1824
01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:29,000
Speaker 1: itself as a function of a state enterprise or a

1825
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:32,600
Speaker 1: government enterprise. But I mean this is like we're we

1826
01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:34,599
Speaker 1: can all be friends with people of different races. This

1827
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 1: is the most basic. If you believe in diversity, inclusiveness, uh, multiculturalism,

1828
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:41,240
Speaker 1: any of these things at all. If you just believe

1829
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:45,040
Speaker 1: in being a decent human being, a moral person, you

1830
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:47,720
Speaker 1: can be friends with anybody who's It doesn't matter what

1831
01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:49,960
Speaker 1: they look like, doesn't matter what they sound like. This

1832
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:52,200
Speaker 1: is one oh one. This is golden rule. This is

1833
01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:54,240
Speaker 1: what you teach your kids, as soon as your kids

1834
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:56,800
Speaker 1: are old enough to teach them anything. You judge a

1835
01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:59,840
Speaker 1: person by who the person is, by their character, by

1836
01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:04,480
Speaker 1: how they are considering and caring towards others, by their trustworthiness,

1837
01:44:04,479 --> 01:44:08,080
Speaker 1: by their honor, not by skin color. I mean this

1838
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:11,519
Speaker 1: is so. This is a law professor at Cardozo Law

1839
01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:13,760
Speaker 1: School writing this piece in New York Times. This is

1840
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:16,680
Speaker 1: leaps and bounds backwards from where we should be in

1841
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:19,679
Speaker 1: terms of the national conversation, and New York Times should

1842
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:22,160
Speaker 1: just be ashamed. But they are not. Capable of shame.

1843
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:26,000
Speaker 1: We'll get into a more coming up here in just

1844
01:44:26,120 --> 01:44:30,160
Speaker 1: a few minutes. Stay with me, all. Welcome back, everybody.

1845
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:33,000
Speaker 1: We have Michael Goodwin on the line. He is a

1846
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 1: columnist from the New York Post also Fox News contributor,

1847
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,280
Speaker 1: where I had the pleasure of actually bumping into him

1848
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:41,479
Speaker 1: earlier today. Great to see you, Michael, and Uh. His

1849
01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:44,360
Speaker 1: piece is how the x d n C chair ruined

1850
01:44:44,400 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 1: Clinton's chance at Michael, thanks for joining my pleasure. Thank

1851
01:44:50,120 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 1: you all right, talk to me about this because I've

1852
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:57,519
Speaker 1: been wondering, is is this Donna Brazil uh going rogue

1853
01:44:57,680 --> 01:45:01,240
Speaker 1: against the Democrat Party for purposes of book sales? Or

1854
01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:05,120
Speaker 1: is this the beginning of the end of the Clintonite

1855
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:08,240
Speaker 1: hold on the Democrat Party and Donna Brazil is just

1856
01:45:08,280 --> 01:45:12,400
Speaker 1: in the vanguard. Well, look, I think a lot of

1857
01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:16,240
Speaker 1: what Donno Brazil is saying in the book needed to

1858
01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:20,439
Speaker 1: be said from within the Democratic Party. Um, the idea

1859
01:45:20,520 --> 01:45:24,200
Speaker 1: that somehow Hillary Clinton was a victim of directions and

1860
01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:29,080
Speaker 1: James Conney and Donald Trump and the massogyn the press

1861
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:34,280
Speaker 1: and racism and deplorable. I mean, it's ridiculous. She she

1862
01:45:34,439 --> 01:45:37,960
Speaker 1: just had an excuse for every day of the week,

1863
01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:41,840
Speaker 1: and I think what Donna Brazil, the the impact of

1864
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:45,839
Speaker 1: what she has done here is painted very devastating portrait

1865
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:49,880
Speaker 1: of Hillary Clinton from within the ranks of the Democratic Party,

1866
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:53,240
Speaker 1: saying it was a joyless campaign, it was a cult.

1867
01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:56,559
Speaker 1: There was sterile uh, not to mention all of the

1868
01:45:56,680 --> 01:46:00,200
Speaker 1: issues with the hijack in the d n C itself

1869
01:46:00,479 --> 01:46:04,480
Speaker 1: rigging the primary season. So I think there's the overwhelming

1870
01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 1: portrait is this person So whatever, for whatever Dynoprasil's motives are,

1871
01:46:10,120 --> 01:46:15,320
Speaker 1: but the portrait this person cannot be kind of any more.

1872
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:22,559
Speaker 1: Knew we need new readers. Up, Michael, we we lost

1873
01:46:22,560 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 1: you there you he dropped off? Are you still there up? Okay, Well,

1874
01:46:29,439 --> 01:46:31,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to We're gonna go. We're gonna go ahead.

1875
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:35,559
Speaker 1: My Michael's pieces great. Michael's piece is great. We appreciate

1876
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:38,080
Speaker 1: him joining. I was with Molly over the weekend. I

1877
01:46:38,120 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 1: had been at Stanford all last week, and I was

1878
01:46:42,240 --> 01:46:45,160
Speaker 1: with Molly over the weekend and finally got see he again,

1879
01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:48,479
Speaker 1: which was great. And she says, you know, we should

1880
01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:51,559
Speaker 1: we should go and go visit because she knows this

1881
01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:54,960
Speaker 1: is really going to see dogs. It's like a form

1882
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:56,720
Speaker 1: of therapy. For me, so I would like to see

1883
01:46:56,760 --> 01:47:00,160
Speaker 1: my family dog French bulldog named to Lula or or

1884
01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:02,000
Speaker 1: there are puppies. Now, I know many of you say,

1885
01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 1: puppy don't go to puppy stores because of puppy mills,

1886
01:47:05,560 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 1: and I will just tell you that in New York

1887
01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:11,960
Speaker 1: City there are very strict rules from the I think

1888
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:14,040
Speaker 1: it's uh. I don't know if it's not. It's not

1889
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:16,160
Speaker 1: animal control, might be health and not healthy human service.

1890
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:18,840
Speaker 1: I forget the Department of Hygiene or something. I forget

1891
01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:20,799
Speaker 1: what it is here in the city, but it's very important.

1892
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:23,640
Speaker 1: It's very strict and they will go and visit the

1893
01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 1: breeders and there has to be a certificate from the

1894
01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:28,679
Speaker 1: breeder of inspection from the City of New York for

1895
01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:31,160
Speaker 1: the dog to be sold in the City of New York.

1896
01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 1: So whether you believe that or not, I'm just saying

1897
01:47:34,400 --> 01:47:36,720
Speaker 1: that there are checks and balances in place to make

1898
01:47:36,720 --> 01:47:39,360
Speaker 1: sure that they're not coming from puppy mills. I said,

1899
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 1: I didn't buy dog from it. I just went in.

1900
01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:43,720
Speaker 1: The puppies are there, and I want to say hi.

1901
01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:46,040
Speaker 1: So I want to say hi to some puppies. And

1902
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:51,479
Speaker 1: we said hello to a uh A Boston Terrier puppy,

1903
01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 1: which I get very excited about. And we also had

1904
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:56,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of time with

1905
01:47:56,920 --> 01:47:59,320
Speaker 1: a cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which for those of you

1906
01:47:59,320 --> 01:48:01,360
Speaker 1: who live in a kind of a smaller house or

1907
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:02,960
Speaker 1: apartment and if you don't have a ton of space,

1908
01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:06,400
Speaker 1: great dogs, so sweet, really good with children, really fun

1909
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:09,680
Speaker 1: and energetic. And I will say that the cavalier particularly

1910
01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 1: took to me. Usually everybody human beings and and and

1911
01:48:13,680 --> 01:48:17,400
Speaker 1: animals prefer to you know, hang out with Molly the dogs.

1912
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:19,479
Speaker 1: People that walk past us the street, they're like, I

1913
01:48:19,520 --> 01:48:21,599
Speaker 1: want to talk to Molly, not Buck. It's no surprise,

1914
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:25,080
Speaker 1: but in this case, the cavalier was actually, you know,

1915
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:27,160
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time hanging out with me. So

1916
01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:28,720
Speaker 1: that was kind of fun. That was a nice change

1917
01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:30,760
Speaker 1: of pace. Maybe it was my cologne a lot wasn't

1918
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:33,880
Speaker 1: wearing any So the the dog and I were hanging

1919
01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:36,080
Speaker 1: out in the in the pet store, and unfortunately Molly

1920
01:48:36,280 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 1: got the hives that she gets from being allergic to

1921
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:43,240
Speaker 1: a dog. And she says that she's gonna she wants

1922
01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:44,919
Speaker 1: to just push through it and we'll see an allergist.

1923
01:48:44,920 --> 01:48:47,040
Speaker 1: And I guess because then I was like, what about

1924
01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:50,840
Speaker 1: the Italian greyhound, because the Italian greyhound is a less Yeah,

1925
01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:53,240
Speaker 1: they're cute, right, Amy's giving me thumbs up, ties, okay

1926
01:48:53,240 --> 01:48:58,320
Speaker 1: with it. Italian greyhound is a more hypo allergenic dog.

1927
01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:01,000
Speaker 1: It's not entirely but because of hair, and they're cute.

1928
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't I kind of like them. I think the

1929
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:05,600
Speaker 1: dog in the Simpsons is kind of based off of

1930
01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:10,280
Speaker 1: an Italian greyhound if memory serves. But she's no, no no,

1931
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:12,200
Speaker 1: no, no no, she wants she wants what she wants. I'm

1932
01:49:12,200 --> 01:49:14,080
Speaker 1: trying to push for a bulldog. She wants a pit

1933
01:49:14,200 --> 01:49:15,760
Speaker 1: mix and she wants to adopt. So those of you

1934
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:19,200
Speaker 1: are saying adopt, don't shop, Molly's already got that lockdown.

1935
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:22,400
Speaker 1: She wants us to adopt, adopt a dog, and then

1936
01:49:22,439 --> 01:49:24,600
Speaker 1: she has her family dog, my family dog. So we

1937
01:49:24,640 --> 01:49:25,960
Speaker 1: got a lot of dogs on all over the place.

1938
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,400
Speaker 1: But she did remind me though, as we were laughing,

1939
01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:31,840
Speaker 1: because there was a there was a docks in Puppy. Now,

1940
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:35,360
Speaker 1: Docksund is badger hound for those who don't don't speak,

1941
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:41,200
Speaker 1: the German ducks is badger and hund is hound. So

1942
01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:43,160
Speaker 1: a docks used to be as a dog that would

1943
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:45,120
Speaker 1: go in the hole and it would try to try

1944
01:49:45,120 --> 01:49:50,280
Speaker 1: to bark and scare out as a badger. It's very effective. Yeah,

1945
01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:52,760
Speaker 1: And and she reminded me of how not long ago

1946
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:57,720
Speaker 1: we were at a a a party for what's it

1947
01:49:57,760 --> 01:49:59,519
Speaker 1: called that baby shower. That's right when you have a

1948
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:01,760
Speaker 1: baby that it's all the gifts and it was a

1949
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:03,880
Speaker 1: it was a cold baby shower. I feel like usually

1950
01:50:03,880 --> 01:50:06,639
Speaker 1: this is a lady's lady's only event, but this one

1951
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:10,479
Speaker 1: was significant others, husband's boyfriends, etcetera are welcome as well.

1952
01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:13,720
Speaker 1: So we're at the we're at the baby shower and

1953
01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:15,960
Speaker 1: there is a docks and that's walking around and this

1954
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:22,080
Speaker 1: thing is it is ancient looking and uh and as

1955
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:24,640
Speaker 1: Molly noted, it was it looked like a docks and

1956
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:27,479
Speaker 1: that somebody had maybe put a like a battery into

1957
01:50:27,560 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 1: a toy because it was just walking very kind of

1958
01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:34,200
Speaker 1: slowly and in a very mechanical fashion. This dog, it

1959
01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 1: was brown, kind of tan and black, i should say,

1960
01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:41,840
Speaker 1: but had gone gray on the face and a lot

1961
01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 1: of you know, it just was I think the dog

1962
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:47,639
Speaker 1: was like fourteen years old or something. And and also

1963
01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:49,920
Speaker 1: as as one of the one person the party, pointed

1964
01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:54,960
Speaker 1: out the docks in was it was. It was very

1965
01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:58,920
Speaker 1: old and was dragon and was dragging, not just a

1966
01:50:58,960 --> 01:51:00,800
Speaker 1: tail on the ground, which I know that could happen,

1967
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:03,599
Speaker 1: but that apparently could happen. So doxin was in some

1968
01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:08,760
Speaker 1: rough shape. And we're walking along and and I made

1969
01:51:08,760 --> 01:51:11,040
Speaker 1: the mistake because I get very excited about when I

1970
01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:13,240
Speaker 1: get to see a dog. I mean the mistake of well,

1971
01:51:13,240 --> 01:51:16,080
Speaker 1: this guy's you know, he's he's wandering. This party is packed.

1972
01:51:16,120 --> 01:51:17,960
Speaker 1: There's a hundred people at this party. I mean, it's

1973
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:22,160
Speaker 1: absolutely jammed. And this docksin is making the rounds very

1974
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 1: kind of slowly, and he's not limping, but just he's

1975
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 1: he's a slow mover. And sure enough, sure enough, I

1976
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:37,400
Speaker 1: decide that I'm going to pick up this dock and

1977
01:51:39,560 --> 01:51:42,000
Speaker 1: which I've picked up many dogs. I know how, you

1978
01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:44,360
Speaker 1: know how to give them proper support and everything, but

1979
01:51:44,479 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 1: I try to lift it up off the ground. And

1980
01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:49,160
Speaker 1: it's a mistake. You do not. You really shouldn't even

1981
01:51:49,160 --> 01:51:50,720
Speaker 1: pet a dog unless you speak to the owner and

1982
01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:52,960
Speaker 1: make sure it's friendly. Docksins are biters, as I have

1983
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:57,640
Speaker 1: found out, But you do not, um do you not

1984
01:51:57,680 --> 01:51:59,200
Speaker 1: trying to lift a dog up if you don't know

1985
01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:01,479
Speaker 1: the dog even because there's a little dog, right, I'm thinking,

1986
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:03,559
Speaker 1: come on, a little dog, how big a deal? Because

1987
01:52:03,720 --> 01:52:06,000
Speaker 1: and I lift this thing up at the parting from everybody,

1988
01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm being very very gentle, you know. I lift the

1989
01:52:07,840 --> 01:52:09,880
Speaker 1: dog up, and it just as I'm lifting it up,

1990
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:13,320
Speaker 1: it twists around like an anaconda, and I can just

1991
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:15,240
Speaker 1: see it coming. And I'm holding it pretty close to

1992
01:52:15,240 --> 01:52:18,000
Speaker 1: my face and it's just gonna and it's I can

1993
01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:21,200
Speaker 1: see it's little sharp jaws as I'm holding it up

1994
01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:24,040
Speaker 1: in the air, biting at my face, trying to take

1995
01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:26,519
Speaker 1: a chunk out of my cheek. And I am I

1996
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:30,559
Speaker 1: am displeased with the situation. But I cannot drop now

1997
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:34,280
Speaker 1: at from shoulder height this ancient dog or else. I'm afraid.

1998
01:52:34,320 --> 01:52:35,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to hurt the animal. Of course, I

1999
01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:38,599
Speaker 1: want to shatter into a thousand little doggie pieces. So

2000
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:41,479
Speaker 1: I have to maneuver while not letting it bite my

2001
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:44,519
Speaker 1: face to the ground. All these people are watching. I

2002
01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:47,480
Speaker 1: am mortified. I get it to the ground without anybody

2003
01:52:47,840 --> 01:52:51,200
Speaker 1: or without dropping it, and I literally pull my hand

2004
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:54,880
Speaker 1: away and and it just misses my hand, and every

2005
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:57,479
Speaker 1: comes over. Are you okay? And I knew this was

2006
01:52:57,520 --> 01:53:00,559
Speaker 1: gonna happen. There is the dog ocamical God. Please, if

2007
01:53:00,560 --> 01:53:02,439
Speaker 1: this little dog has a heart attack, I'm gonna I'm gonna,

2008
01:53:02,479 --> 01:53:04,439
Speaker 1: you know, this is like I'm never gonna live this down.

2009
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:08,599
Speaker 1: Dog is fine. Dog is fine. But it was an

2010
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:13,000
Speaker 1: important reminder that even an ancient docs and that probably

2011
01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:17,760
Speaker 1: weighs about nine pounds, soaking wet uh with its art

2012
01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:21,000
Speaker 1: arthritic little hips and everything, you do not just pick

2013
01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:22,599
Speaker 1: it up, and you do not put it near your

2014
01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:24,880
Speaker 1: face because those little teeth, if they had caught some

2015
01:53:25,320 --> 01:53:27,439
Speaker 1: they had caught some of Buck's cheek, it would have

2016
01:53:27,439 --> 01:53:30,160
Speaker 1: been a bad day for everybody. So I was it

2017
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 1: was a reminder for me because we saw little docks

2018
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:34,680
Speaker 1: in there. You know, even little dogs, little dogs can

2019
01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:38,639
Speaker 1: be biters. Little dogs can be biters. And with that,

2020
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:41,800
Speaker 1: just sharing a bit of canine wisdom here, and I'm

2021
01:53:41,800 --> 01:53:44,120
Speaker 1: hoping you're now laughing at me, because everybody else was,

2022
01:53:44,160 --> 01:53:46,280
Speaker 1: because I almost got my face taken off by and

2023
01:53:46,439 --> 01:53:48,639
Speaker 1: the oldest dog I think I've seen in a long time,

2024
01:53:48,720 --> 01:53:51,240
Speaker 1: and the smallest one. With that, I'll tell you that

2025
01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:55,240
Speaker 1: the quest for Bucks, Buck and Molly's dog continuesen we

2026
01:53:55,280 --> 01:54:00,719
Speaker 1: will solve this problem, and until tomorrow, my friends, she'll

2027
01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:02,160
Speaker 1: tie
