WEBVTT - Trump Will Fight To Keep America Great 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.960 You are entering the freedom hunt. It's official, my friends, 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:20.560 President Trump has launched his twenty twenty reelection campaign. We'll 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.840 talk about the big themes, the important moments, and also 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:28.240 hearing's on Capitol Hill today about reparations. What is the 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:32.199 argument for and against? Will tackle that and the immigration 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.240 debate gets heated as O'kazia, Quartz and company doubled down, 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:41.120 triple down on their concentration camp lunacy. That are more 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.240 coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. Bucks Sexton Remission, 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:51.240 decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence mag 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:55.520 no mistake, You're a great American again. This is the 0:00:55.720 --> 0:01:00.560 bucks Sexton Show. Activate CIA analysts. Remember an I can 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.480 speak for three hours without a phone call. Try doing that. Sometimes. 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:10.560 We're gonna keep it better than ever before. And that 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:15.480 is why tonight I stand before you to officially launch 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:20.319 my campaign for a second term as President of the 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:27.120 United States. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody was 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:32.280 quite a night last night with the official launch of 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:38.080 the Trump campaign twenty twenty. It was a reminder that 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:45.080 he is the greatest, most talented public performer and campaigner 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.520 of my lifetime. I mean, I can't. Maybe Reagan, but 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.640 I was very very young when Reagan was doing his thing. 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.640 But I've never seen anything. I don't think anyone's ever 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.720 seen anything like what Trump pulls together on that stage 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.840 night after night on the campaign trail, and the energy 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.000 in the enthusiasm. I only regret is that I wasn't 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.960 there for it. But I will be sure in this 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.720 election cycle to try to get there and see some 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:16.359 of the the MAGA squad in action. The president is 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:17.960 going to be in very good shape, I think going 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:22.040 into this reelection. Despite the fact that, wow, the media 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.280 has learned nothing about any of this, they have not 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:31.080 changed one bit. The mainstream media of view this not 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.080 as an effort to meeting the twenty twenty election campaign, 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.960 and this was clear from the way they did their 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:44.160 commentary afterwards. Their intention is not to make any changes 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:48.240 or amend their behavior in response to the debacle of 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.960 what they showed us their true colors were in twenty sixteen, 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:57.720 but to view Trump's reelection effort as the mainstream media's 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:04.200 second attempt. They're back in chance at defeating Trump and 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:10.040 reasserting or re establishing the dominance that they have in 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:14.440 the creation of political narratives in this country. Essentially, they're 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.840 back in power. That's what they think. If they can 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.920 just defeat Trump, then they are the kingmakers again. There'll 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.560 be a Democrat administration that they'll be super cozy with, 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.880 super cozy with, whether it's Sanders or Buddha, Judge or 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:30.720 Biden or Warren or you name it. The mainstream media 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.640 will be will be snuggling up to whomever the Democrat 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.600 is while simultaneously telling us, oh, we're just holding their 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:42.480 feet to the fire, speaking truth to power. They won't 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.360 be holding the Democrats feet to the fire. They'll be 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.240 massaging the Democrats feet. We know this. That's what they 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.680 did with Obama for eight years. It was an embarrassment. 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.960 That's what they planned to do again. So they haven't 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.200 learned anything. They have. If anything, they're actually more ferocious 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.040 in their partisanship. They will be more ferocious this time around. 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:06.840 So worth establishing that right away. But it's also so 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:11.520 reassuring that the president really he knows, he knows this opposition, 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.440 he knows this enemy, he knows what he's up against. 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.400 And that's why I appreciate so much that he doesn't 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:22.159 hold back. He throws punches we voted for a puncher 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.400 to be president, and man, does he show up like 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.960 Mike Tyson and his prime and just throw those haymakers 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:32.800 play Clip seven. The Democrats don't care about Russia. They 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:37.239 only care about their own political power. They went after 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:42.720 my family, my business, my finance, it's my employees, almost 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.960 everyone that I've ever known or worked with. But they 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.800 are really going after you. That's what it's all about. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.920 That about us, It's about you. Our radical Democrat A 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:59.720 parties are driven by hatred, prejudice, and rage. They wanted 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.560 to destroy you, and they want to destroy our country 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:08.200 as we know it not acceptable. It's not going to happen. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.800 That's who we're up against. We're up against a Democrat 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.800 machine that desperately wants to be back in power, that 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:24.160 has no compunction, no hesitation whatsoever about trying to destroy 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.840 those who disagree with them. We're up against the Democrat 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.479 machine that wants the president still to be ruined, to 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.080 be thrown in prison, wants his associates, his family members 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:39.839 to be thrown in prison, has no sympathy, no feelings 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:44.320 of remorse when they destroy somebody who's a Trump supporter. 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.120 As an example to set for all the rest. They 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.120 cheer as Manafort sits in solitary confinement, as though he's 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.240 an axe murder or not a simple tax cheat who 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.560 hasn't made an example of because of his Trump ties, 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.520 not because of what he did to the United States 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:05.360 Treasury Department. You know, That's one of the really unsettling 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:12.320 realizations that I've come to is that I never hear libs. 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.000 And I know a lot of them, and I talk 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.599 to them, and there's a lot of libs in media 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.159 that I am in contact with. I never hear libs 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.320 feeling sorry for anyone on the right who is a 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:36.320 casualty of Trump's arrangement syndrome. They express no sense of remorse, 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:41.440 no common decency they have, They have no hesitation. They 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:46.200 have no problem with what happens to Kavanaugh, what happens 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.919 to the Covington kids, what happens to just people that 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.440 are not even necessarily in Trump's inner circle, but who 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.919 are generally associated with the right, and in this era 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.080 of Trump, if you are on the right, you are 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:03.200 tied to Trump. And they don't even privately express to 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:11.000 me they're feelings of unease with what happens. I have 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:15.720 had I've had libs. I've had libs in media tell 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.720 me that they didn't even have a problem with the 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:25.040 shouting down and shaming of Trump administration figures at restaurants 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.760 and in public, that that was a necessary corrective to 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.000 the excesses of the Trump administration. That they don't feel 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:36.000 badly for Tucker Carlson's family when a bunch of lunatic 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.120 protesters showed up outside their home in the middle of 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.840 the night and started screaming and yelling over megaphones at them. 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.880 Tucker wasn't even there. They don't feel badly about it. 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.560 These people are sick. They've got a problem, and this 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:55.320 is where wartime conservative mentality kicks in. I don't want 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.760 to make deals with them. I don't want to try 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:02.200 to reach an accommodation those who are so bereft of 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:06.720 honor and decency that they can understand what is truly 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.600 beyond the pale. All Right, the Trump Tower meeting is 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.680 not truly beyond the pale. Showing up at someone's home 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.160 because you don't like what they say on TV and 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.880 creating a menacing environment for their wife and small children, 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:25.760 that's beyond the pale. Having a bunch of obviously deranged 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:31.280 liars show up and claim that a world class legal 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:35.360 intellect and a family man of decades who's promoted women 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.040 all his life, like Judge Kavanaugh, was actually some kind 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.720 of secret rapist to smirk and smile behind closed doors, 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.959 as I have seen them do, and suggest that even 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.080 if that was playing dirty and unfair, it was worth it. 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.880 Those are the Libs that we're up against. Now, that's 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:57.880 the mentality, That's who they are. And so what do 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.920 we want in response to that? Do you want somebody 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:07.760 who takes the romneyesque mccainlike approach of how do I 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.720 try to meet them in the middle somehow, Maybe I'll 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.360 get one nice thing set about me on the New 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.680 York Times editorial page for one day. Or do you say, 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.720 let's mount up, let's fight. Let's see what we got 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.959 last night was a reminder that Trump is the latter. 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.360 Trump is the fighter, and he is not going to 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.120 let the Libs off easier for what they've done for 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.000 the last two years, because it has been a disgrace. 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.080 There are a lot of areas of public policy and 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.839 public life where I not only am okay with I 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.320 mean I welcome good faith discussion and debate. I do 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:47.280 think there are problems with the way that some aspects 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.800 of our economic system are currently structured. So that, you know, 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.120 the carried interest loophole is one thing that comes to 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:53.760 mind for hedge fund managers. I mean, this is just 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.280 a carve out to help really rich people get even richer. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.520 There are things out there that are real that are problems. 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.880 You know, how do we why didn't we cover prexisting 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.120 conditions before? How do we best do this? There are 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.280 real discussions to be had, but I refuse to be 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:13.679 pulled into a discussion with the left over the price 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.760 of my most basic freedoms and the American society that 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:20.720 all of us have enjoyed up to this point in 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:25.760 our lives, because that's not negotiable. It's not negotiable. I 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:29.720 don't want to live in a country where people activists 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.280 can seek me out and then force me force me 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:40.439 to defile my own deeply held religious or political beliefs 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:46.559 on pain of public ridicule, economic destruction, perhaps even imprisonment. 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.000 I don't want to live in that country. And the 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:55.680 moderate oh, let's find a way to get along. Republican Party, 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.640 they had their chance, they had their chance, and we 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.600 got stomped on for eight years of Obama, and we 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:08.920 had the gleeful, self indulgent, self loving media running rampant 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.960 without anybody really other than some conservative media personalities and 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:17.120 outlets fighting back against them. You know who is the 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.720 great Republican defender during all those years? Who was really 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.800 taking Yeah, I know people here and there showed up, 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.400 and you know Ted Cruz would say something smart now 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.080 and again and would say, well, at least Ted's smart, 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.480 But who was really taking the fight to them? The 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.040 answers nobody, not effectively, not like Trump ken, not like 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:36.280 Trump does. That's why last night was so important and 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:41.240 also super entertaining when he says that Joe Biden is 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:45.319 just not impressive because it's true. It's funny, and it's 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:51.320 important because it's true. Play ten to support crazy Bernie 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:58.480 Sanders socialist government takeover of healthcare. He seems not to 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.840 be doing too well lately. Remember the statement from the 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.880 previous administration, you need a magic wand to bring back 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:10.400 manufactu You. Well, we'll tell sleepy Joe that we found 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:15.480 the magic wand we found the magic wand my friends, 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.000 you know, the truth is the magic wand is Trump. 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.360 Let's hope that it's enough to get us through to 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.760 four more years. I think that it will be some 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.120 more important points from from the speech last night I 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:30.800 wanted to dive into, and then we'll move on. I 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:32.679 know you've had a chance that had to digest a 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.280 lot of a lot of you probably watched it already, 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:35.800 and so we're not going to spend too much of 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.920 the show on this. We've got immigration fights to get into. 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.000 A really interesting piece on flight MH three seventy, that 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.640 Malaysia Airlines flight that disappeared five years ago. I'll talk 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.440 to you about that, and African American gun rights and 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.360 really freedom rights advocate in Philadelphia is going to join 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:55.000 us later on the show, Madge Teray, really interesting guy. 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.319 I think you'll want to hear from him and how 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.480 he's trying to educate the black community in particular and 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.880 especially in urban areas about the Second Amendment and how 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:07.319 it is it is the the right of all Americans 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.800 and it and all Black Americans to be able to 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.120 defend themselves and enjoy their Second Amendment rights and not 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.520 to believe the left wing nonsense about gun ownership. We've 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.319 got a lot of oh, and we also have a 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:23.080 discussion coming up about slavery reparations, because there was a 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.760 capitalil hearing today about this. We'll get we'll get into that. 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.240 And the short version, that's the bad idea. The long 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:29.800 version is we're gonna have to keep talking about it 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:34.120 because Democrats are using this as a as a way 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.280 to to get the basse all riled up, the left 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.240 wing bass. So that means we can entirely ignore it 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.800 when we have a jam packed show, as we always do, 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:52.880 so stay right there and as we fight to make 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:57.319 life better for all Americans. The Democrat Party has become 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:02.559 more radical, more dangerous, and more unhinged than at any 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:06.920 point in the modern history of our country. Does anybody 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.200 really disagree with that? Who's paying attention, who knows anything, 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:14.200 and who's honest? The Democratic Party has gotten more radical. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:19.000 That's just that's just a fact. The Democratic Party has 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:25.880 moved further to the left again, a fact. Democrats now 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:31.240 embrace positions that ten years ago, five years ago, a 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.400 majority of their party would have said, well, hold on 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.240 a second, that that seems maybe a bit ext that 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:39.120 seems a bit extreme, not extreme anymore, not in the 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:44.480 era of AOC and talib and you know, Pelosi is 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.320 just all about power. So you have to remember this, 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:52.280 Pelosi isn't really a governor, a speed bump on the 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.880 radical left. First of all, she's she's a progressive herself. 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.160 She's not, but she's not radical in the sense that 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:03.840 she wants to continue things as they are in so 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.280 far as they benefit her, her power, her prestige. And 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.920 you know that's that's the first consideration Nancy Pelosi has. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.760 What does this mean for Nancy Pelosi? And so that's 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.880 why she doesn't want to up end the system quite yet, 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.920 because she's third in line for the presidency and she 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:22.640 likes things how they are. It's the younger lefty Democrats 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.640 in the Congress that are the real They're they're the 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:31.720 real Castro wannabes, as in Fidel not the guy who's 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:36.160 running for president. Sorry, got gotta specify that one. At 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.160 this point, about the radical, radical nature of the Democratic Party, 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.720 this is going to be very important for Trump to 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.520 hit on repeatedly because the Democrats right now they're showing 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:47.280 us who they are because they have to, because the 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.440 base wants this. Trump's gonna go to prison and we 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.440 have to impeach in and all this stuff that they 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:56.640 say the base wants this. But when it comes time 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.960 for the general election, you're gonna have Hey, here's my prediction. 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.320 You're either going to have Biden running as the Oh yeah, 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:06.080 I'm just you know, just a guy man who wants 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.000 to just bring us back to the way things were 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.760 and it'll be great, like the Obama years all over again. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.440 Or if you have Bernie Sanders, they'll say, no, no no, 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:16.120 I'm a cuddley socialist. I'm like a teddy bear socialist, 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.520 not one of those scary ones who wants to take 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.080 all your stuff, give it to other people and run 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.280 the economy in the ground. No, I just I'm just 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.400 the free stuff socialist, which isn't real, but that's what 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.840 they will offer. That's the way they'll go. So very 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.160 important to hit the radical nature of the Democratic Party, 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.520 which is the truth. And then there's the other part 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:43.560 of this as well, which is the disparate system of 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.440 not just justice, but the two sets of rules that 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.480 we are always being forced to operate in or when 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.920 it comes to Democrats and Republicans, whether it is the 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:57.160 justice system or just public perception through the media. Here's 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:02.160 what he said about for example, Hillary's emails. Let's compare 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:06.040 how they came after us for three years versus the 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.879 free pass they gave to Hillary at a rates after 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.480 they set up an a legal server, the acid washed 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:19.320 thirty three thousand emails. If I got a subpoena for emails, 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:25.760 if I deleted one email like a love note to Milannia, 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:33.320 it's the electric chair for Trump. Does anybody really deny 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.280 that at this point that the the way that the media, 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.960 the bureaucracy, the establishment treats Trump and the Republicans is 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.160 different from how they treat Democrats. Does anyone really think 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:49.680 that that's a particularly contentious point. I mean, the way 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:55.800 that the laws were swept aside and law enforcement at 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.080 the highest level was told to stand down to pave 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:05.600 the way for and Hillary Hello, and what happened. The 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.399 way that the law was then just one hundred and 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:14.520 eighty degrees, you know, switched around and weaponized and used 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:18.000 to try to stop Trump from becoming president and then 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:24.359 to end his presidency is the most breathtaking, absurd and 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:29.840 frightening political scandal in this country of my lifetime. And 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:37.240 the so called journos skipped this thing entirely It's pretty 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.679 stunning when you think about it. Visiting. Let's have a 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.840 little talk about the reparations hearings today, Shall we happened 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.080 on Capitol Hill? I have thoughts, many of them. That's 0:18:47.080 --> 0:19:02.240 coming up. He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:06.560 is back. Thirty one percent of black children live in 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.679 poverty compared to eleven percent of white children. The natural 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.200 averages eighteen percent would suggest that the percentage of black 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.920 children living in poverty is more than one hundred and 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:19.160 fifty percent. The institution of slavery and subsequent discrimination directed 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:22.680 against blacks is an injustice that must be formally acknowledged 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.920 and addressed. I just simply ask why not and why 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:31.040 not now? If not all of us, then who God 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.560 bless us as we pursue the final justice for those 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.200 who lived in slavery for two hundred and fifty years 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:41.560 in the United States of America. So that's about reparations. 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:43.600 There's a big hearing on Capitol Hill today. I got 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:47.400 a lot of attention and some important questions are raised. 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.080 Here's the My quick reaction to this is, how can 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:59.280 you achieve justice for acts committed against people who are 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:05.040 no longer living at anywhere, and that we're committed by 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:09.840 people who are no longer living. How could you adjudicate 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:15.680 that without doing major damage to your legal system and 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:21.880 to the undergirding moral values of your society. No one 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:26.119 seems to have any good answers for that. There were 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.000 some very interesting stuff said that A Coleman Hughes of 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:34.280 Quillette said some things. I mean Quilett's that, what do 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:38.840 you call it as it's almost a contrarian ideas magazine, 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:44.760 or just a magazine that's intellectually rigorous but unbounded by 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:48.200 the dictates of political correctness. We've had Andy no On 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:51.359 before who writes for Quilette, to some very interesting stuff 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:54.720 on Antifa for them. Christina hoff Summers I believe is 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:59.960 associated with Quilette. She's a woman who's an academic who 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:04.960 is not cowtowing to feminism all the time. But here's 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:10.080 what Coleman Hughes had to say about reparations today and 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.760 whether this is a good idea played twenty. The question 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:16.920 is not what America owes me by virtue of my ancestry. 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:20.720 The question is what all Americans owe each other by 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.960 virtue of being citizens of the same nation and the 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:29.600 obligation of citizenship is not transactional, it's not contingent on ancestry, 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:33.400 it never expires, and it can't be paid off. For 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.080 all these reasons, Bill HR forty is a moral and 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:44.240 political mistake. Thank you, thank you, mister Hughes. Chill, chill. 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:48.040 He was presumptive, but he still has a right to speak. Oh, 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.399 look at the Democrat there, Cohen Jrump coming at the end. 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:52.640 He still has a right. He was presumptive, but he's 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:56.119 a right to speak. He's yeah, sure, there are the 0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:59.199 people booing in the hearing room booing. What what what 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.760 did you say to that so bad? What was so 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:03.800 incorrect that he should be booted? And people are just 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.320 so childish, Mike, you got something. Yeah, as let's say, 0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:10.840 Cohen's the clown that brought the chicken, remember him, right, Yeah, 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:14.119 he decided to chime in. Oh my gosh, I mean 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:16.120 I interview that guy. I mean he kind of had 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:17.879 like a little bit of like this kind of crazy 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:20.000 like southern thing, but he's kind of just yelling all 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:23.320 over the place, and he's just, you know, crazy. I 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:26.480 got Cohen. He's off the wall sometimes. Oh wait, we 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:28.720 got more. Coleman Hughes, though I liked it, I like 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:30.840 what this guy head to say, played twenty one. In 0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:34.160 two thousand and eight, the House of Representatives formally apologized 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:37.120 for slavery and Jim Crow. In two thousand and nine, 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:42.720 the Senate did the same. Black people don't need another apology. 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:47.080 We need safer neighborhoods and better schools. We need a 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:52.359 less punitive criminal justice system. We need affordable healthcare, and 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:58.360 none of these things can be achieved through reparations for slavery. 0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:02.800 If we were to pay reparations today, we would only 0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:06.000 divide the country further, making it harder to build the 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:10.600 political coalitions require to solve the problems facing black people today. 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:15.000 We would insult many Black Americans by putting a price 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:20.600 on the suffering of their ancestors. What would that price be? 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:24.280 Let's assume him for a moment, and it's it is 0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:26.119 an assumption we should not make, but just for the 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:29.159 sake of argument, that the American people are united in 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:31.760 the idea of reparations, whereas in reality, over sixty percent 0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.800 of Americans oppose reparations. So is a It's a clear 0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:38.240 majority that are not in favor of this. What's enough 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:46.520 what's enough reparations? A billion? No, of course, not ten billion, 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:50.879 getting closer fifty billion. It seems like a lot of money, 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:55.439 one hundred billion, a trillion? You know, you just you 0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:57.640 work your way up. When does it stop? How can 0:23:57.680 --> 0:24:02.159 you put a price on the centuries of enslavement and 0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:04.840 the suffering, and the murder and the well, the truth is, 0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:06.960 you can never put a price on that, and how 0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:11.520 could any society really put a price on that? All right, 0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:13.639 but let's assume that we figured out what the price is. 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:19.160 Who gets the money? Where does it go? How is this? 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:25.280 What is the mechanism for dealing with this pain and 0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:27.520 bringing us into a new future? Oh, let me guess. 0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:29.919 Is it to give a whole bunch of money to 0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:34.520 left wing organizations that agitate for certain public policies and 0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:39.040 create essentially a progressive left slush fund which will be 0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:43.840 I'm sure staff by many, many, many white liberals who 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:47.879 will feel very, very virtuous for working at some institution 0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:50.520 that has something to do with you or has received 0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:53.639 some money from from reparations in order to right the 0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:58.800 wrongs of the past. But is slavery really the only 0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:01.240 wrong of the past? We are to write, where does 0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:04.040 this stop and start, how much further does it go? 0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:08.199 I would bring you to an essay written by Kevin Williamson, 0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:10.159 whom is a little more quiet these days than he 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:14.320 used to be. He wrote on reparations back in twenty fourteen, 0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:18.159 and here's here's what he had to say. Quote. The 0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:21.560 political interests of African Americans, like those of other Americans, 0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:26.080 are best served by equality under the law. The economic 0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:28.600 interests of African Americans, like those of other Americans, are 0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:32.760 best served by a dynamic and growing economy, preferably one 0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:36.119 in which the labor force is liberated from the dysfunctional, 0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:41.080 antique Prussian model of education that contributes so much to 0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:45.240 black poverty. The people to whom reparations are owed are 0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:49.439 long dead. Our duty is to the living and to 0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:54.280 generations yet to come, and their interests are best served 0:25:54.320 --> 0:26:02.240 by liberty and prosperity, not by moral theater. End quote. 0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:06.359 I think that's exactly right. That's what this turns into, folks, 0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:10.680 That's what this really is. Moral theater. This is an opportunity, 0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:16.240 especially for white liberals, to show how morally superior they 0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:20.800 are to those who don't support this idea. That's really 0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:23.479 what this all comes down to it, it's all for show. 0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:27.399 It goes nowhere. But that's what so much of the 0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:30.879 Democratic Party is these days, just for show. It's a 0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:34.639
