GOP congressional members storm 2 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: this gift, the Forgotten War in Ukraine, hate speech in 3 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: the First Amendment. Facebook gets grilled on Capitol Hill and 4 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: the five hour workday. We have a fantastic show coming up. 5 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: This is the bucks Sexton Show, where the mission or 6 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 7 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again the 8 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins. Remember no, Welcome to the buck 9 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Everybody, great to have you here with me. Wonderful, 10 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: wonderful Thursday here in New York City. I almost got 11 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: the day wrong. Reminds me of the time I was 12 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: filling in for Limbaugh and I think it was New 13 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: Year's Eve and I said, Happy Christmas Eve, everybody, start 14 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: off the show. That that was really setting the tone there, 15 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: wasn't it. Get the day wrong? You be amazed how 16 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: stuff like that can happen, though, when you have a 17 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: few million people listening to you for three hours. So 18 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: what do we have now? We got a bunch of 19 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: topics that that I wanted to get to that I 20 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: just think are really interesting. That'll be good for conversation. Today, 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: some water cooler stuff, you know, things you can talk 22 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: to your buddies about. I'm not going to spend that 23 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: much of the show on the impeachment circus because I'm 24 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: hoping a few things. One is that the American people 25 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: will just grow tired of this, that it's just going 26 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: to be, which is I also note that's why Democrats, 27 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: in my estimation, are trying to make this whole thing 28 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,639 Speaker 1: just go very you know, as quickly as they can. 29 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: They're they're hoping that they can control the process and 30 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,639 Speaker 1: control the timeline for mac damage an impact against this president. 31 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: But they have to know that eventually this is just 32 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: going to get boring. And look, I'll tell you the 33 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: Benghazi hearings stretched on too long. Some people get mad 34 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: at me when I say that, but one I told 35 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: everybody as soon as Obama won the election, I said, 36 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: forget about any accountability for Benghaz because the only real 37 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: accountability was going to be political. And the moment that 38 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: Obama and all of his people stayed in their government positions, 39 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: all of the cabinet members and heads of various federal agencies, 40 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: there's no way you're ever going to really get the truth. 41 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: And by the time the next president came along, they 42 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: would have already either covered the tracks or also just 43 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: public interest would have waned down to the point where 44 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: nobody would really pay attention. They stretched out the Benghazi 45 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: hearings too long, and that was just that was a 46 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: political error. I think now the initial hearings were absolutely worthwhile. 47 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: These hearings are ridiculous. But here we are. We already 48 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: know what was out of the phone call. I don't 49 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: really care what the perception of different government employees or 50 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: work for the Trump administration was about whether a policy 51 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: issue felt a little too political for them or I 52 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: really don't I frankly don't care. This is fundamentally what 53 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: President Trump did in Ukraine is not a crime. They 54 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: keep trying to say it's a crime. It's not. Even 55 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: if all of their assumptions and their framing of this 56 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: and the narrative is true. There's not a statute that 57 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: has been violated. Otherwise you'd be hearing about it all 58 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: the time. This is why you're also hearing the emolument's clause. 59 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: Emolument's clause once again, that's supposed to be the one 60 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: that ends the presidency. Sure, good luck with that, but 61 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: This is a question of whether you think that the 62 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: president did something that was a political violation, meaning that 63 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: people would be uncomfortable supporting him because he wanted an 64 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: investigation of Russia collusion origins stretching back to the twenty 65 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: sixteen election, that whole theory, which was used to get 66 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: a special counsel going, which was used to investigate Trump associates, 67 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: to throw Trump associates in prison, that happened, the media 68 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: is still shockingly incurious about this, and then they try 69 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: to dismiss any new information about this as a conspiracy theory. 70 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: And that's what you always hear, it's a conspiracy theory. Well, 71 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: what is the difference between having a series of events 72 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: that you tie together with some hypothesis that you then 73 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: want to test out through investigation and a conspiracy theory 74 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: When it comes to Democrats, see, they make the judgment 75 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: before there's the investigation. That's why they are so set 76 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: on calling it a conspiracy theory. They're trying to negate 77 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: whatever real information comes out of Durham and Attorney General 78 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: bar going to Italy, going to different war en counterparts 79 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: and saying, hey, what was going on here? Who was 80 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: this myth? Stood guy, And what was said to Alexander 81 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: Downer of Australia, And how did all this get going again? 82 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: Who in the FBI thought that this was worthy of 83 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: a full field investigation? Who thought that meeting with Christopher Steele, 84 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: the author of the phony dossier, that that was not 85 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: just a good usage of government time and taxpayer dollars, 86 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: but that it should be in large part, almost entirely, 87 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: the basis for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act FISA warrant. 88 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: Those aren't questions that journalists would find interested now, of 89 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: course not. I do believe that there's some degree of 90 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: protecting themselves that is tied to all this as well. 91 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: They recognize that the journalistic establishment of this country, which 92 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: is which is a hard left establishment, now well out 93 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: of the mainstream of your standard American in their views 94 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 1: of the world, their views of what's right and wrong. 95 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: Journalists had become a class unto themselves. Because to be 96 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: a journalist unless you're willing to operate in the much smaller, 97 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: the much smaller pool of conservative media, which is what 98 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: what did I do? But to be a journalist in 99 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: the broader sense, you have to play by their rules 100 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: and agree to their terms and also sign on for 101 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,679 Speaker 1: their agenda. If you don't still off of the agenda, 102 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: you're never going to get anywhere. You're never gonna have 103 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: a you're never going to write something that people read, 104 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: You're never going to be on TV that people watch. 105 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: It's just it's not going to happen. And so they're 106 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: not interested in getting the truth as a class, as 107 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: a group, almost like an entity, and it's it's couldn't 108 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: be anymore clear. They also are willing to run interference 109 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: for what is the biggest partisan sham process I think, 110 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean, in some ways it's it's actually worse than 111 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: the Special Counsel. The Special Counsel was had more teeth, 112 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: had more legal force behind find it. But this there 113 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: completely at least there were some guidance and there was 114 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: technically supposed to be oversight of the Department of Justice. 115 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: That Rod Rosenstein decided that there really wouldn't be any 116 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: effective oversight of the Muller probe was a decision that 117 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: he made as and as a Trump appointee' that's on him, 118 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: and I had some of us suppose, well, the President 119 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: couldn't remove him, because everybody who have said it was 120 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: the end of the Republic. You know what I mean, though, 121 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: But in this Congress is just making it up as 122 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: they go along. And that then brings me to the 123 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: latest year, the storming of the SKIFF Secure Compartmented Information Facility. 124 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: I think, man, I used to be so good with 125 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: all the acronyms. For my time in the CIA. I knew, 126 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: I knew all the cool acronyms. I could speak in 127 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: acronym ease I could. I knew all that I knew 128 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: military acronyms, intelligence acronyms, federal government stuff. Really was like 129 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: just a constant alphabet suit bouncing around inside my head. 130 00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: And now I have to sort of think about them 131 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. I'm like, what's the name of it? 132 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: I was so sad. Somebody asked me recently. I was 133 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: talking about the the French domestic Intelligence Service, and it 134 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: actually took me a minute to come up with it, 135 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: the General Directorate of Security in France. It took me 136 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,559 Speaker 1: a second. I couldn't remember how I said, man, Buck, 137 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: the bucks are your Your CIA skills are getting rusty, 138 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: my man. But I digress. So what happened with the Skiff? 139 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: You can hear a lot of journalists arow that term 140 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: around the they like to use the cool insidery government lingo. 141 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: So what happened inside this game, well representative Matt Gates, 142 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: who I always feel like is the he is the 143 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: guy who is the bad guy in the frat movie. 144 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: You know, who's like giving the nerds the protagonist nerds wedgies. 145 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: He just kind of looks like I'm just saying, he looks. 146 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: People have said about me that I looked like a 147 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: bad guy from a John Hughes movie in the eighties, 148 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: sort of a similar idea. So maybe you know, I 149 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: see in others what it's all seen, and me, although 150 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: I'm so nice, I would never give the nerds wedgies. 151 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: The nerds and were I was kind of a nerd. 152 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: The nerds and I were always friends. But Matt Gates 153 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: decided that he was gonna pull this is a stunt. 154 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: Let's let's just be honest about it's a stunt. It's 155 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: if you were a Democrat, if you're a leftist, you'd 156 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: say this was raising awareness. But they decided that there's 157 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: this area in the Capitol where the classified information is 158 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: capped and where members of Congress can see the classified stuff, 159 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: and that's where this and that's where all the happenings 160 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: of this impeachment inquiry are really going on. It's happening 161 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: behind closed doors, and the stuff's being kept in classified settings. 162 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: And that's why the leaks that are occurring are so 163 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: precise and targeted, always to damage Trump. Here's what. Here's what. 164 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: Representative Gates, fresh from throwing nerds in the pool for 165 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: showing up at his toga party, no doubt, here's what 166 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: he had to say, play thirteen. We're gonna go. You 167 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: can get inside. Let's see if we can get in. 168 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: We're going in. You get the idea side. He's just 169 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: gonna He's look, We're just we're going in. We're going in. 170 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: Broh Okay, that's that's one way to go. So they're 171 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: going in. Uh, no surprise, you're The Democrats are are 172 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: completely apoplectic in response to this Representative Ted lu who 173 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: is facing none other than my my friend Brandon Fricky, 174 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: who we had on the show as an independent candidate 175 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: out in California. We really hope Brandon at least can 176 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: make it a painful and expensive reelection for Ted Lou 177 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: if he's not even able to have a massive upset 178 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: against him. But ted Lu, who's a Russia collusion conspiracy 179 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: nut and has already debased any sense that anyone could 180 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: ever have of his integrity this process. Here here's his 181 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: version of why this whole walk into the skiff occurred. 182 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: Play eleven. Please you may wonder why is it happening now? 183 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: Because Bill Taylor gave a devastating opening statement yesterday. They're 184 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: freaked out, they're trying to stop this investigation. They don't 185 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: want to hear from UM witness Cooper today. Ah, so 186 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: you got to spin it right away as, Oh, they're 187 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: doing this because they're so worried. After that that witness 188 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: Taylor really just gave his impression of a complicated series 189 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: of foreign policy decision making events that were often not 190 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: even didn't directly involve him, or at least that he 191 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: wasn't a first person participant in. So that's just that's 192 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: just like his opinion. Man. I mean, let's be honest. 193 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: But I've got a better question for Ted Lu. Why 194 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: can't we see the transcript of the many hours of 195 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: questions after Taylor's testimony? Why why is that not? Why 196 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: is only the paired clearly anti Trump tailor's statement leaked 197 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: to the media, but we don't know what was said 198 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: and the session afterwards. If there's any concern about classified information, 199 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: then they should just scrub it and release a redacted version. 200 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: Don't the American people have a right to know? Or 201 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: is this just Congress operating like a country club where 202 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: the membership committee gets to decide behind closed doors what 203 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: goes and what doesn't and everyone else just gets to 204 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: deal with it. That seems to be the decision that 205 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: Chief and lou and Pelosi are happy with the Democrats 206 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: making here. That seems to be the purpose of all this, 207 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: just to maintain maximum control, limit transparency, and couldn't be 208 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: any more. Obviously, it's about getting a political scalp. This 209 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: is about taking a revenge of sorts on Donald Trump 210 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: for not succumbing to the Special Council investigation, which I 211 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: think a lot of Democrats really believed was going to 212 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: be the end of the Trump residency. And they don't 213 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: care how obvious it is that this is an unfair process, 214 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: that this looks gross. I'm just hoping that Republicans understand 215 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: the nature of this fight, that there is no good 216 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: faith and they should expect no good faith in return. 217 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: That hopefully the American people will understand what at least 218 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: those of us who are not completely convinced that Donald 219 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: Trump is a threat to a threat to the entire 220 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: world and going to cause some kind of a nuclear 221 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: holocaust or something. I mean, the crazy stuff that people say. 222 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: I can't even exaggerate it. There's no way to exaggerate it. 223 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: I think he's a threat to the planet, to the 224 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: species human species. But people who don't buy into that, 225 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: I'm I am at least banking on some of them, 226 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: if not all of them, to understand that this is 227 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: a clearly political process. That's just it's just ugly politics, 228 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: that's all. This isn't about the institution, it's not about 229 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: all Commander in chief run am mock. It's really not 230 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: even about Ukraine. It's not about the curve, it's not 231 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: about any of that stuff. It's not about the emoluments clause. 232 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: They hate Trump, their candidates kind of stink so far. 233 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: They know that, and they're doing whatever they can, no 234 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: holds barred, you know, hitting below the belt, whatever whatever 235 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: they have to do politically, they will do. That's it. 236 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: And so you're seeing this play out now. So why 237 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: am I supposed to think that I should feel the 238 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: need every day to to you know, refuge every allegation, 239 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: or oh, let's concede some ground on this. Maybe maybe 240 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: Trump should have been a little more careful in his wording. Maybe. No, 241 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: I know what, I know what the purpose is here. 242 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: I understand what's going on. Not only they abusing the process, 243 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,359 Speaker 1: they're making the process up as they go along, specifically 244 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: so they can abuse it for obvious part of an end. 245 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: So I mean, I just want this whole thing. Look, 246 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: impeach them, Just impeach them. We know you're gonna do it, Democrats. 247 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: We know there's nothing else that this is really about. 248 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: This isn't a fact finding mission, This isn't to get 249 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: to the bottom of things. This is all just a charade, right, 250 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: This is kabuki theater. This is for show. Oh sure, 251 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: we had all these witnesses and all this testimony. Meanwhile, 252 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: most of their surrogates are going on TV sing President 253 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: Trump already admitted to the crime. Well, if you admitted 254 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: to it, why not just impeach him tomorrow? Oh so 255 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: all about shaping perception. It's just dirty politics, folks. You 256 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: had a number of Republican members who are not on 257 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: the committee's of jurisdiction try to go into this skiff area, 258 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: a secured area. They also brought in their cell phones, 259 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: which is a violation. They valuate the House rules by 260 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: trying to crash committees which they don't sit on. All 261 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: of this is an attack right on the investigation. It's 262 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: an attack on the investigation. Oh good, heavens, what will 263 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: we do now? I've got to tell you. I mean, 264 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: I know something about the rules governing classified information and skiffs, 265 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: having had to live under them, really live under them, 266 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: not the way that Congress, where they're constantly leaking and 267 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: messing up, really live under them for years. And as 268 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: I can tell you, the whole purpose of not bringing 269 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: it from first of all, it seems that some of 270 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: the members of Congress left their cell phones outside. They 271 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: knew that that's a violation. Was we since violation? You know, 272 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: no one goes to prison for this, Okay, it's it's 273 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: something you're not supposed to. You can have your clearance revoked. 274 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: Usually you'll get a warning, and it depends on the circumstances. 275 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: But the whole reason it exists is they don't want 276 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: a device that can transmit sound, can turns emit audio 277 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: to relay outside of a classified environment, you know, just theoretically. 278 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: Never mind, if somebody could have their phone hacked and 279 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: then turned on or opened up as a eavesdropping or 280 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: listening device, you wouldn't want anybody to say, get on 281 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: a phone and capture nearby conversation that's classified. So I 282 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: understand that, But no one's talking about classified when they're 283 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: storming in there and saying what's going on? I mean, 284 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: it did look a little bit like a gop toga 285 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: party since I mentioned that before. It was a little 286 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: like toga toga. You know, they're just running in there 287 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: and making a lot of noise, and you know, I 288 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: guess that's cultural appropriation, isn't it from ancient Rome, Romulus 289 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: and Remus looking down on us, even though there are 290 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: apocryphal figures looking down on us from heaven, probably with 291 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: mother Wolf above them, like why you gotta steal our stuff? 292 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: Why is it gonna be like that? If we really 293 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: think about it, a toga would probably be a very 294 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: comfortable garment, especially in the summertime when maximum aeration is 295 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: really a welcome thing. I was like a people who 296 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: wear tight jeans in summer in hot climates and think, 297 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: how do they do it? Doesn't seem comfortable to me. 298 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: So Matt Gates and the rest stormed into there. They 299 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: got it, They got some attention. I maybe it made 300 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: the point. I don't know. I'm not sure that I 301 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: would be the first one to line up behind Gates 302 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: on this one. But here we are but already even 303 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: going to get in trouble for bringing their phones in. 304 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, Now we're going to complain about 305 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: that rule too, and now we're gonna act like, oh, 306 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: the sectity of the skiff was violated for a few seconds, 307 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: and then people walked out. Who knows? Who knows? It's 308 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 1: all just so ridiculous, isn't it. These are the people 309 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: are supposed to be passing laws, by the way, that 310 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: deal with problems in the country and make your life better. Theoretically, 311 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: Congress is supposed to do that. When was the last 312 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: time it felt like Congress really did that. I think 313 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: it's worth asking that question. Think about that one for 314 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: a minute. By golly, if they're gonna do it, do 315 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: it in public. Don't hide it from the American people. 316 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: Show your face where we can all see the travesty 317 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: that you were trying to fois quote America and the 318 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: degradation of our republic that you were engaged in. We 319 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: demand over the proceedings. The American people deserve nothing less. 320 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: Their representatives in Congress deserve nothing less. Mobrooks fired up there, 321 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: I moost on Mobrooks pretty solid. We found them on 322 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: the show a bunch of times in the past, in 323 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: the early days. But how is this not a clear case? 324 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: There shouldn't really be any counter argument here. There isn't 325 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: a serious kind of argument which you always hear from 326 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: the talking points brigade of Democrats on TV and the media, 327 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: is oh, we don't want there to be a we 328 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: don't want there to be coordination of witnesses. Come on, 329 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: you can First of all, you can say that about 330 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: any congressional hearing exactind of all, this isn't a criminal inquiry. 331 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: This is a pol This is an entirely political hearing. 332 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: The only real criminal sanction that anybody would face unless 333 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: they confess, you know, oh I did this thing, you know, 334 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, and the Statute of limitations still running. 335 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: It would be lying under oath the Congress. So why 336 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: would any of these people they're acting under the assumption 337 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: that people would be willing to lie about a material 338 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: fact here specifically to help one side or the other. 339 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: And isn't it more likely that you will get truthful 340 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: answers from people if they're going to have to say 341 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: this stuff out in public? Really, I would offer, I 342 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: would argue at least that for many of these bureaucrats, 343 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: they are much more likely to tell the truth if 344 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: they know that everybody's watching than behind closed doors when 345 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: they think, oh, well, if I get something wrong, or 346 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: let's say I shade the truth a little bit, especially 347 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: if I shade the truth that Adam Schiff wants me 348 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: to in a way that hurts Trump in a way 349 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: that is helpful to the Democratic cause. Here of destroying Trump, 350 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 1: let it just clean it up afterwards. They're not going 351 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: to bring any charges against me. Where are the charges 352 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: against the people? Just to prove my point, so this 353 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: isn't just some wild theory, Where are the charges against 354 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: the people who, to try and help the Democrat cause 355 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: of defeating Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination, lied demonstrably, clearly 356 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: beyond a reasonable doubt, lied about Brett Kavanaugh committing heinous crimes. 357 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: They lied to Congress. Where's that situation right now? Why 358 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: haven't those people been brought up on charges? Because the 359 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: people that try to throw people in prison for minor 360 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: crimes tend to be for minor crimes of process involving 361 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: a politically sensitive topic. It's the left, it's Democrats, it's 362 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: the totalitarian mindset. Most conservatives I know are usually like whatever, 363 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: I mean, if it's not that important, no one got hurt, 364 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, give them, give them a warning. Maybe that 365 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: needs to change, Although, as I've recently been saying, you know, 366 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,239 Speaker 1: we we try to make the left live under their 367 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: own rules, and they just don't. So I'm not sure 368 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: that that strategy, whether it's about what you can say 369 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: or speech speech rules or rules for politics, they just 370 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: embrace the hypocrisy. They embrace a two tiered system of 371 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: something for Democrats and something else for Republicans. How do 372 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: we get beyond that? I don't I don't know that 373 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: it just turns into an all out battle for power. 374 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: It's a power dynamic playing out. But what do we 375 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: see happening right now? Well, I mean, I think that 376 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: the Democrats are worried about their candidates, Joe Biden's fundraising 377 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: is abysmal for the moment, which means the people the 378 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: money seems to have been cut off first, and I 379 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: think the polls are going to follow very soon. You know, 380 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: Obama and Clinton's biggest donors, according to Politico here are 381 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: behind Biden. So the Democrat there really is such a 382 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: thing as the Democrat establishment, or when I talk about 383 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: the Democrat apparatus, it's the major media outlets which all 384 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: favored Democrats. But you know who are they supporting in 385 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: this The major donors, the big dollar donors, the major 386 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: donors who have connections into media, into corporate America, with 387 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: the unions. That's the Democrat establishment. And they have been 388 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: completely carrying not so bright, deeply unimpressive Joe Biden on 389 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: their shoulders this whole time. Well, you know, he's it's 390 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: kind of we got some of the Obama connection going 391 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: on here with him. So he's the one that we 392 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: can make the next president. But what anybody who understands politics, 393 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: especially in this current era, would know is, but didn't 394 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: work for Hillary, Why would that work for Joe Biden 395 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: against Trump, a non traditional candidate who, by the way, 396 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: is raising huge sums of money for his reelection. So 397 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: in the war chest. You know, Hillary outspent Trump dramatically 398 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: in Trump still won. Remember at this time around that 399 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: dynamic may change quite a bit. The money that goes 400 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: to the Trump campaign. I'm sure it'll be much closer 401 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: to what it was to rather much closer to the 402 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: Democrat challenger, whoever that may be, than it was when 403 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: Biden and when Trump was running against Hillary. But that's 404 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: part of the anxiety here. And this is why I 405 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: think even sane or Democrats in the Congress are looking 406 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: at this whole impeachment procedure process whatever and saying, well, 407 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: I guess we got to do something. I guess we 408 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: got to go on with here. I mean, Representive Steve 409 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 1: Scalise raises the most important question. If we had an 410 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: honest press, they'd be asking this every day. Why is 411 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: Shift doing this in secret? What does Schiff have to 412 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: hide here? Producer Mark, would you please play Congressman Scalise 413 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: sixteen if you would? What is Adam Shift trying to hide? 414 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: I think that's a question so many people have, so 415 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: many of my colleagues have, so many people in the 416 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: press should have is through those hidden closed doors over there, 417 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: Adam Schiff is trying to impeach a president of the 418 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: United States behind closed doors, literally trying to overturn the 419 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: results of the twenty sixteen election a year before Americans 420 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: get to go to the polls to decide who's going 421 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: to be the president. And frankly, it should be the 422 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: people of this country who decide who's going to be 423 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: the president, not Nancy Pelosi and not Adam Schiff in secret, 424 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: behind closed doors. What better example could you have of 425 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: disrespect for our democracy. I know it's a republic, but 426 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: Democrats always call it our democracy. We have a democratic 427 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: process for a republic, a republican form of a republic 428 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: as our government. You know, we have voting, so I 429 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: guess it's democratic in that sense, But we do not 430 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: live in a democracy, certainly not a direct democracy, but 431 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: just for our institutions, right, we've heard so much about that. 432 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: What greater disrespect could one show for our institutions than 433 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: in the run up to an election year trying to 434 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: create a brand new and largely secret internal political process 435 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: that does at least have the possibility of ejecting a 436 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: president from office before the American people can vote again 437 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: and design I think that's very unlikely I think the 438 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: percent I think the chance that Republicans would go along 439 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: with well, it's real, it's really even not about a 440 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: percentage chance. What would it take for Republican senators to 441 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: go along with the Democrats, or at least enough of 442 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: them to go along you get to a two thirds vote. 443 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: It would take something to emerge that's brand new, that 444 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: is so so unbecoming and unacceptable for a president that 445 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: I have to come here on this show, for example, 446 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: and say to you, sorry, guys, President Trump's gotta go. 447 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: How high is that threshold? It's wherever we've been with 448 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: the Russia collusion stuff and the Emolumans clause and obstruction. 449 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: That's sort of down here at you know, for in 450 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: terms of my outrage, that's not even at sea level. 451 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: That's below sea level, and we'd need to get to 452 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: like K two, you know, the really big mountain in 453 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: the Himalaya Range. I think it's in the Himalayas, isn't it. 454 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 1: I hate I hate when I get any trivia wrong 455 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: on this show. You know, someone actually told me recently 456 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: that my name comes from Middle Latin for sacristan, So 457 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: Sexton actually comes from the sacristy and that's where the sexton, 458 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: the person who takes care of the church. I don't 459 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: even know that, just hanging out of the front of 460 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: mine and she tells me this. I was like, oh wow, 461 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: learn something new every day. But anyway, hopefully, hopefully I 462 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: got that one right. The point is it would have 463 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: to be a monumental, a massive, entirely new revelation. I mean, 464 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: this is not even the universe of that. Short of that, 465 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: which I would say is not even a one percent chance, 466 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: it's probably a one in you, one in a thousand, 467 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: one in ten thousand percent chance. They're not going to 468 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: remove the president, which then raises the why the heck 469 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: are they doing this? And if they're doing this and 470 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: they're going to impeach him, by the way, mark my words, 471 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: they will impeach this president. You will have an impeached 472 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: President Trump going into reelection in twenty twenty. And they're 473 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: doing that because it's what the base demands, it's what 474 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: the far left emotionally requires to deal with their hurt feelings. 475 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: After a Hillary didn't become president, it was like so 476 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: meaning she was totally gonna shot out of that class 477 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: ceiling going into the twenty twenty election, That's what this 478 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: is all about. But to use a process that should 479 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: be reserved for serious and egregious violations of law and 480 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: or of expected conduct for a president. This is where 481 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: the high crimes and misdemeanors. What is that. Well, you know, 482 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: judges used to get impeached for drunkenness on the job. 483 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: If you look back at impeachment, it's happened more to 484 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: federal judges than any other office. And it's happened for 485 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: I think it was like loutishness and drunken behavior. I 486 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: don't know, toga to stuff like that. Basically could get 487 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: you could get you kicked out of being a judge 488 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: back in the day bribery, But bribery is also a crime, 489 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: but bring bribery would be something. You know, if the 490 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: president United States accepted a bag of cash to sign 491 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: a bill, yeah he's got to go. He hasn't done 492 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: that right now, we're just getting an hypothetical this crazy town. 493 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: But to use this process the way that they have 494 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: in such a nakedly partisan way and pretend that they're 495 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: doing it to protect our democracy and the will of 496 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: the people, they're just whatever the truth is, they are 497 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: doing the opposite of that and saying that it is 498 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: the truth. Whatever they're accusing Trump of, they are the 499 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: ones actually doing. We are living in the upside down world. 500 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: But this is what happens when you have Democrats who 501 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: unfortunately have far too much cultural power, far too much 502 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: media power. Still, and you know, look, we don't have enough. 503 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: It's a frustration round. We don't have enough cable news 504 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: outlets for an alternative point of view to left wing lunacy. 505 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: We don't have enough. We've got one great one, we 506 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: need more. We don't have enough platforms. We don't have 507 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: enough major websites that are conservative out there yet. I mean, 508 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: this is a whole other part of the discussion. But 509 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: remember they have a massive advantage in that rum going in, 510 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: which is why all these poles I see. If you know, 511 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: fifty five percent of Americans want the impeachment inquiry to continue, 512 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: that's because they're being told the president did something horrible. 513 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: This is being magnified across the media spectrum by partisans 514 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: who hate Trump and people that are casual consumers of 515 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: the news, which is what most folks we even care 516 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: at all about the news, are, right. I do this 517 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: for a living all of you, I'm assuming are people 518 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: that do other things with your lives, as you should. 519 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: There's a few hosts who listened to this show because 520 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: they need to pick up some pointers. But nonetheless, this 521 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: is where this is where we are, folks. I know 522 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: it's improper grammar. This is where we're at right now. 523 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: We don't deserve a president who goes out of his 524 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: way to make life in America harder, crueler. Pettier, he 525 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,479 Speaker 1: said he's working for the forgotten American. Well, he forgot 526 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: about the forgotten American. Joe Biden thought that was clever. 527 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: I can assure you he's working for the forgotten American. 528 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: He forgot about the forgotten American that's going to be 529 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: the next president. He's not even entertaining. Say what you 530 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: will about Trump. Guy can be a little thin skinned, 531 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: a little erratic, a little who knows. He's very entertaining, 532 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: and he does not back down. That gives. That gets 533 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: you a lot, at least in my book these days 534 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: in politics, and he on core conservative issues is fighting 535 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: for our team. You know, sometimes it's worth asking because 536 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: this is where I also separate from a lot of 537 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: my never Trump former colleagues and friends. Let's say we 538 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: found out in ten years that Trump this whole time 539 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: was really a he was a Democrat pretending to be 540 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: a conservative. If we look back at hopefully in eight 541 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: years of Trump presidency, and it has been overwhelmingly not 542 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: entirely spending too much money, there's some stuff that's not 543 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: limited government, that's not constitutional conservatism, but overwhelmingly has been 544 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: in line with what we want. Isn't that why you 545 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: elect a politician? Do you even should you even care? 546 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: Would you care if a person turned out internally felt 547 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: like they were a Democrat, but you know they decided 548 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: to for a period of time defy as a Republican. 549 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: There we have it their political identity and do things 550 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: that Republicans and conservatives want them to do. Isn't that 551 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,239 Speaker 1: the single most important thing this is for elected office? Right? 552 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: This is he's not the leader of a church. He's 553 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: not the Dalai Lama big hit or the Lama flowing 554 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: robes beautiful? Where were we? Oh? Yes? Speaking of the 555 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: small fundraising situation for Joe Biden right now, you can 556 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: tell that there are a bunch of candidates who are 557 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: just hoping that the push behind Biden from the establishment 558 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: is just going to get transferred to them this and 559 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: you know who they are. It's Kamala, It's Booker, it's 560 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: Buddha Judge, it's maybe maybe Klobuchar. You know, but there's 561 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: a few, there's a few who have to know that 562 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,239 Speaker 1: they can't win with the current trend. But there they 563 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: might get that that switch of the Obama and Obama 564 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: and Clinton donor network and once the media, you know, well, 565 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: when does CNN decided they're going to change their favorite candidate, 566 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: Because CNN always wants to make sure that they're helping 567 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: whichever Democrats going to win, because for them, it's about 568 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: access as much as anything else. They want to be 569 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: on the good side of a Democrat administration, get all 570 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: the big interviews, member big interviews, or just money if 571 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: we're really going to break down ways that our politics 572 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: are corrupted, and I don't have the answer or what 573 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: to do about it. Every time a president decides to 574 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: give an interview to one news outlet over another, it's 575 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: it's the equivalent of dollars, it really is. It's ratings, 576 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: it's money. And yet what are we gonna do. We can't, 577 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: you know, I can't demand an interview with the president 578 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: United States, and they've already been wanted. But I mean, 579 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: I can't demand to sit down with different Democrats. You know, 580 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: Okazio Cortez, wouldn't that be fantastic I get her to 581 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: sit with me, just like, are not the nicest and 582 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: best person ever? And like that's so untrue AOC. She'd 583 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: actually really liked me if she got to know me. 584 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: But it's true of all the Democrats. It's one of 585 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: the reasons why I have some Democrats who listen to 586 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: the show. They write to me. Some of them are 587 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: secret Democrats that I want people to know, or their 588 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: secret team buck even though they're Democrats. Oh but I 589 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: wanted to get to this before Corey Booker is saying that, Hey, 590 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: if you need somebody to replace Biden, is the establishment 591 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: guy that you're propping up, it's me play it. So 592 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: those Democrats who are looking for an alternative now, I 593 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: want to make the case today very directly that look 594 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: no further. I can and have excited a diverse coalition 595 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: of voters. I can and have united Progressives and moderates, 596 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: and I will not divide this party and drag others 597 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: down in personal attacks for the sake of winning a 598 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: short term polling boost. We need to keep the long 599 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 1: view in mind, not just winning a primary, but beating Trump, 600 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: understanding that this is a moral moment. Yeah, still not 601 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,439 Speaker 1: gonna happen, Corey Booker, still not gonna happen. But nice try. 602 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: Not not quite at Spartacus level yet, It's just not there. 603 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: So we'll have to see who does replace Biden, because 604 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: someone is going to. I think it'll be Warren. Facebook 605 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: up on Capitol Hill once again. Facebook has become a 606 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: company that is a bit of a punching bag for 607 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: pretty much everyone in politics. Now everyone finds something about 608 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: Facebook to be upset about. And it is a very 609 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: very powerful company. It was gonna say country. It really 610 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: in a sense it is its own country. It has 611 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: a level of wealth that is akin to what you'd 612 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 1: you'd see in a lot of probably actually wealthier that 613 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 1: a lot of countries. And another thing about it, but 614 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: Facebook is it. Look, it's an incredible story. We've all 615 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: seen the social network. We all know what Facebook is. 616 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: We use it, I use it, we talk about it, 617 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: we pull from it for a segment of this show. 618 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: It has become a part of our lives. And yet 619 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: we're still figuring out what are our expectations of it? 620 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 1: What should Facebook be required to do by the government, 621 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: what should customers which, remember, you are the product. You're 622 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: giving them all your information all the time. Their microtargeting 623 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 1: adds to you. There's a reason why when you look up, Hey, 624 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: I want some Ostrich skin neon green boots, all of 625 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 1: a sudden you see an ad for those Ostrich skin. 626 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: Yeahst skin is a thing, I think right, those are expensive. 627 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: It's it's the fancy boots. Some of you probably know 628 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: a lot more about cowboy boots than I do. Anyway, 629 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg was up on Capitol Hill and one of 630 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: the things that one of the indignities that he has 631 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: to suffer through, which is I suppose not that big 632 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: because he's worth I don't know how many tens of 633 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: billions of dollars. He's a very very wealthy man. And 634 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: he's about my age, maybe a year or two older 635 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: than me. I think he's about my age. I am 636 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: not worth tens of billions of dollars. But producer Mark 637 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: and I are working hard on it right now, so 638 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: we're going to get there. I just have to invent 639 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: in a generation defining company that is effectively an unlimited 640 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: money machine that can be scaled out globally. I think 641 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: we're onto something with those history podcasts, though, I think 642 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: we're going to get there. So a bunch of different things, 643 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: a bunch of different avenues of attack against Facebook, which, 644 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: as we know, social media platforms are going to be 645 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: more potent in many ways in the next election than 646 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: one than they've ever been before, or more people are 647 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: all on them, more people are using them. Generation Z 648 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: and the millennials, your Generation Z producer, Mark, Generation Z 649 00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: and the Millennials are now an enormous voting block, and 650 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: that means that people that have grown up, or at 651 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: least have at a young age started using YouTube and 652 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: Facebook and these things. Well, we're getting a general Oh 653 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 1: you're just doing work. I thought you're going to weigh 654 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,720 Speaker 1: in on behalf of Generation Z. Well i'm a millennial, 655 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: that you're a millennial. Yes, Well, how much younger would 656 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: you have to be to be Generation Z? Much younger 657 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: I was, I'm twenty six? Yeah, but what doesn't that 658 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: I don't know where I think like ninety eight or 659 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: ninety nine is the cut off? Okay, yeah, all right, fine, 660 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: So he's all easible and I'm technically we're both millennials. 661 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: Although he pretends like I'm not, you're a much older millennial. 662 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,760 Speaker 1: I know I'm an old fuddy duddy millennial with creaky 663 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: bones and back pain. So Zuckerberg's on Capitol, He's getting 664 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: all this beef because you're gonna have all these people 665 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: that are trying to well, there's just a lot of grandstanding. 666 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 1: It's opportunity to be like, oh look at me, stand 667 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: up with this big, powerful company. But the Left got 668 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:58,760 Speaker 1: used to for a long time, these Silicon Valley super companies, 669 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: these giants of communication, digital communication, effectively operating as subsidiaries 670 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,759 Speaker 1: of the DNC. I mean, they were so biased in 671 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: favor of Democrats in ways that we've seen some of it, 672 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: but there's so much that we've never even found out, 673 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: and we know we'll never find out. There are many 674 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: different plausible, I would say theories about what the real 675 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: advantage was for Democrats, particularly the last two or three 676 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: election cycles because of social media platforms, and we'll never 677 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: really know. They don't they won't submit to independent auditing. 678 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: We know that they play this game where they go 679 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: backwards and forwards between being a platform versus being a publisher. 680 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: And we also know that the culture within these Silicon 681 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: Valley companies, the culture of the San Francisco Bay Area, 682 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: that part of northern California is the most progressive left 683 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: wing enclave in the entire United States. I mean, New 684 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: York City has got some crazy stuff. You got to 685 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 1: Brooklyn and everyone's, you know, a Bernie Sanders voter who's 686 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: pickling their own beats and walking around and clothing that 687 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:13,760 Speaker 1: they made from sustainable, organic salvaged cotton from fair trade 688 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: workers or something. I don't know, But San Francisco Bay 689 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: areas the single greatest concentration of left wing ideology by 690 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,800 Speaker 1: voter registration and also just by I think by sheer 691 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: dollar figures they can pump into the system of anywhere 692 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,800 Speaker 1: in the entire country. And that has we've seen that 693 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: have a very important influence, or a very powerful influence 694 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: on the way that Facebook and YouTube and these other 695 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: companies operate. So it is with that we see Democrats 696 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 1: and Republicans at some level, but Democrats really trying to 697 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: it seems to me, to bully Facebook at some level, 698 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: to bully them and to convince them that they need 699 00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: to take a more active role. They liked the old 700 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: way where if you wanted to run an ad for 701 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 1: a company that sells guns, it would just mysteriously disappear. Right, 702 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: They like the old way when we were all led 703 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: to believe and this was for a long time, we 704 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: were led to believe that the mainstream media was neutral 705 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: and nonpartisan, and that was a big, fat lie. And 706 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: we've more or less. I mean, if you still believe that, 707 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: that's on you, right, If you still believe it, you're 708 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: just not very savvy. You're not really paying attention. I mean, 709 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,879 Speaker 1: you don't believe it because you listen to watch the show. 710 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 1: But I mean if one still believes that, we also 711 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: And this is more understandable because it's a newer situation. 712 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: We have less information and less history to run on. 713 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: But there's also the circumstance of thinking that these massive 714 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,399 Speaker 1: social media companies are public utilities. Right. It's just it's 715 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: like the phone lines you call whoever you want to call, 716 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 1: phone company doesn't care who you are, you know, that's 717 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: it's just something that people can use that does not 718 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 1: take political positions that turns out to not be true. 719 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: And it's with that in mind now that we see 720 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,359 Speaker 1: a pushback you've got to Congressman Holly, for example, Josh 721 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: Holly is trying to force these companies to adopt some 722 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: rules to protect the basic idea of them as a 723 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 1: free speech platform, and there's some movement in that direction. 724 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 1: I say, Mark Zuckerberg is fortunately doesn't seem like a 725 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: dogmatic leftist. I have to be honest, he doesn't seem 726 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: like a dogmatic leftist. He's certainly a businessman. The fact 727 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: that this guy managed to stay in control of his 728 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: company through all that stuff means that he's got a 729 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,879 Speaker 1: capitalist's killer instinct. For sure. He understands how to fight 730 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: boardroom stuff. And I think that there's a worry among 731 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats that they won't have this secret weapon anymore 732 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 1: of social media platforms that effectively do their bidding intentionally 733 00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: or unintentionally. And that's where you had AOC who doesn't 734 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: really understand the First Amendment, definitly doesn't understand the Second Amendment, 735 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: doesn't really understand the First Amendment, trying to score some 736 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 1: points here against Mark Zuckerberg. We have we have a 737 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: few moments here we go on demonstrably false political ads. 738 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: Here's what AOC said to mister zucker Burr Play nineteen. 739 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: Please do be a potential problem here with a complete 740 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: lack of fact checking on political advertisements. Well, Congresswoman, I 741 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 1: think lying is bad, and I think if you were 742 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,399 Speaker 1: to run an ad that had a lie, that would 743 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 1: be bad. That's different from it being from from for 744 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: in our position, the right thing to do to prevent 745 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 1: your constituents or people in an election from seeing that 746 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,799 Speaker 1: you had lied. So we can so you won't take 747 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: down lies, or you will take down lies. I think 748 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: it's just a pretty simple yes or now, Congresswoman. And 749 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about spin. I'm talking about actual democracy. 750 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: I believe that people should be able to see for 751 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 1: themselves what politicians that they may or may not vote for. It. 752 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: You won't take any character for themselves. So you want it. 753 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: You may flag that it's wrong, but you won't take 754 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,720 Speaker 1: it down, a Congresswoman. It's it depends on the context 755 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 1: that it shows up an organic post as the treatment 756 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,800 Speaker 1: is a little ah see AOC and the and the 757 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: left don't understand nuances here, don't understand the competing values. 758 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 1: All they want is that they can have an expectation 759 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 1: to bully Facebook as well as other social media bully Twitter, 760 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: bully Google, you know, although Google's pretty left wing, but 761 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: but bully any of them into doing their bidding. When 762 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: it comes to the suppression of speech. She's really asking 763 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg, if you know, if Trump says that if 764 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 1: he runs an ad that he's you know, the greatest 765 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: president of all time, I mean, that's not true. Can 766 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 1: we get that taken down? She might say, Oh, but no, 767 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 1: that's fine. That's an opinion, all right? What's a fact 768 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 1: versus an opinion? To Democrats, they run around calling the 769 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: investigation of Russia collusion origins a conspiracy theory all day. 770 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: So does that mean that anything about the Russia collusion 771 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 1: origins any opinion that somebody raises on that should be discounted. See, 772 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 1: Democrats have abandoned free speech. They want control of speech, 773 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: cancel culture and social justice, these concepts which have risen 774 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: to be much more important to them and much more 775 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:41,399 Speaker 1: potent than what should be a universal and shared value 776 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,360 Speaker 1: for all Americans, which is the right of free expression, 777 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: and not just a free press, but freedom of speech, 778 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:52,839 Speaker 1: free ideas, the free exchange thereof That is now secondary 779 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 1: to the ability to control the conversation and decide what 780 00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 1: is acceptable to be aired in public? What is accept 781 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:05,760 Speaker 1: people to find out about? She's pushing him on fact checking. 782 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,840 Speaker 1: Here's the fact that I want checked. I'm a Republican politician. 783 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 1: Let's say, and I want to run an ad on 784 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 1: Facebook that says there are only two genders? Is that false? 785 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: Does that get take him? Is that a lie? There's 786 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 1: a lot of political implications of that. By the way, 787 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: there are two genders, male and female. Am I a liar? 788 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,359 Speaker 1: Ask a Democrat that some of them will say yes, 789 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 1: They'll say that's that's an untrue thing. That is propaganda. 790 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 1: Maybe it's even hateful. It could even be hate speech. 791 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 1: There are two genders. What does Facebook do with that? 792 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 1: That's all I wanted to say, A big like a 793 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 1: bumper sticker that pops up on your Facebook feed. There 794 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 1: are two genders. What would they do? What would AOC 795 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 1: want done in that situation? Is that a be an 796 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: issue or is that a fact issue? When they're demanding 797 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 1: that politicians that that campaign ads, which are very important 798 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 1: going into elections, like on Facebook ads, This is how 799 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,800 Speaker 1: you really get your message to people. I mean, I 800 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,839 Speaker 1: never I live in a very blue stadium, barely ever 801 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 1: see political ads they don't spend any They don't spend 802 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: any money trying to win over the presidential vote here 803 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,400 Speaker 1: in New York City. But Facebook stuff, you'll see. Facebook 804 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 1: stuff you can see anywhere across the country. And if 805 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 1: you're telling me that I haven't, I have to make 806 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:37,400 Speaker 1: a choice between a very successful Facebook campaign for my 807 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 1: political candidate or running a bunch of TV ads, I 808 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 1: think I'd probably do Facebook. I think it's better. It's 809 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: more likely to have the intended People would argue about this, 810 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 1: but I think it's more likely to have the intended outcome. 811 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 1: They want control of this. Democrats are concerned that they 812 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,400 Speaker 1: no longer have They no longer have the comfort of 813 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 1: the expectation that Facebook and YouTube and these other companies 814 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: will do what they want them to do officially and 815 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 1: unofficially and suppress conservative points of view. Remember fake news, 816 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 1: which Donald Trump turned on the media, was initially a 817 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: charge that was made about people supporting Trump spreading lies 818 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 1: on the Internet. They were the ones the initial accusation 819 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,719 Speaker 1: of fake news was made by the media against the 820 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,279 Speaker 1: Trump campaign really or against people that support Donald Trump, 821 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 1: and then he turned it around on them as a 822 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 1: way of saying, okay, well, sometimes people say things about 823 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 1: me or that that would support me that aren't true. 824 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,840 Speaker 1: But you, the New York Times, and you the Washington 825 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 1: Post also published stories that are fake, publish stories that 826 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 1: are not true. So what are we to make of 827 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,480 Speaker 1: that fake news? And then why do you think it 828 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: upsets them so much? Because he took what they threw 829 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:55,840 Speaker 1: at him and he threw it back at them and 830 00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: it hit them even more. How could you even begin 831 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:04,240 Speaker 1: to do this? Though? Have fact checkers regan? PolitiFact, for example, 832 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,200 Speaker 1: is a joke. I mean, all you know, Snopes, I mean, 833 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: these different fact checking sites are preposterously biased. But this 834 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,720 Speaker 1: is the same, the same version or the same basic 835 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 1: circumstance that plays out with the left. All you know, 836 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,360 Speaker 1: they say all this is the science supports us, And 837 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:25,960 Speaker 1: then you say, well, actually you know the science, but 838 00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 1: but they like to pretend. Oh but no, but science 839 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,279 Speaker 1: supports us except in these places where it doesn't. Oh 840 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 1: the fact checker support us. Well, well that's because the 841 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 1: fact checkers are a bunch of liberal journalists posing as 842 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,880 Speaker 1: fact checkers. Isn't that surprising? It's not surprising to anybody, 843 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,919 Speaker 1: But say, Zuckerberg did a pretty good job up there 844 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. You know he's he's leaning into this 845 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. If he had some charisma, he might 846 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: actually run for office one day. Von Can you explain 847 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,839 Speaker 1: why you've named The Daily Caller, a publication white, well 848 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 1: documented with ties to white supremacists, as an official fact 849 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: checker for Facebook. Congresswoman, Sure, we actually don't appoint the 850 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 1: independent fact checkers. They go through an independent organization called 851 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 1: the Independent Fact Checking Network that has a rigorous standard 852 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,879 Speaker 1: for who they allow to serve as a fact checker. 853 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:20,359 Speaker 1: So you would say that white supremacist tied publications meet 854 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:25,320 Speaker 1: a rigorous standard for fact checking, thank you, Congresswoman. I 855 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 1: would say that we're not the one assessing that standard. 856 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,800 Speaker 1: The International Fact Checking Network is the one who is 857 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 1: setting that standard. Wow. Ocasio Cortez calling The Daily Caller 858 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:45,839 Speaker 1: a white supremacist tied news side, I know many people 859 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 1: to call her. I have friends at The Caller. It 860 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 1: is a place that is perhaps best known, or one 861 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:52,960 Speaker 1: of the reasons best known, as Tucker Carlson was for 862 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 1: many years the editor in chief, and I don't think 863 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 1: he still is. He might still be technically white supremacist 864 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: tie Daily Caller. I mean for someone to be talking 865 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 1: about facts and truth and then to call The Daily 866 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:10,400 Speaker 1: Caller a white supremacist tied news site based on based 867 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,840 Speaker 1: on what exactly. I mean. My friend Saga and Jetty, 868 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 1: who is of Indian heritage, who worked the Daily Caller 869 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: for years and then took over for me at Hill TV. 870 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 1: I was tweeting about this today. She's like, what are they? 871 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 1: What is he even talking about? What is this to 872 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: to call a publication that white supremacists. I mean, this 873 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,760 Speaker 1: should be like saying, yeah, you know, the Huffington Post 874 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 1: a publication that's favorable to Islamic terrorists. I'm just gonna 875 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 1: say it. I don't have any basis for it, really. 876 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I disagree with their take on radical Islam, 877 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 1: and you know, I can make a case, but you know, 878 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,720 Speaker 1: at some point we've got to stay within some realm 879 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 1: of reality, right, at some point you've got to have 880 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 1: some backup for these kinds of allegations. And it's just 881 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 1: a perfect example of why you could never trust the 882 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: left in a regime of censorship to do anything other 883 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: than suppress ideas they don't like, not adhere to any 884 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 1: generally applicable principles, and just do everything that they can 885 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: to make it effectively impossible for people to have a 886 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,160 Speaker 1: contrary point of view. That's really that's the country they 887 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 1: want to live in AOC. The democrat socialist left wants 888 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 1: in America where there's only one acceptable point of view 889 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 1: on any important issue, and other points of view are 890 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 1: to be actively suppressed and punished and eradicated. That's very clear. 891 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 1: They do not believe in the free exchange of ideas. 892 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,440 Speaker 1: They do not believe that people could have controversial opinions 893 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 1: about things, which I would also note, you know, one 894 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 1: of the great advantages that we have had over other 895 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 1: cultures and civilizations in the world, places like China, where 896 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 1: there's a tremendous amount of ideological conformity, is that you 897 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 1: have people that will break the mold. Here, whether it's 898 00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 1: in science, or in politics or any number of things. 899 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,760 Speaker 1: It's in fact the person that takes the unpopular idea 900 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 1: and then wins people over to his or her side 901 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,920 Speaker 1: that often moves the needle more than anybody else. But 902 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 1: collectivists hate that. Let's talk about a five hour work day, No, 903 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 1: I mean, really, let's actually talk about a five hour 904 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 1: workday for a second. Sounds like a great idea, to me. 905 00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:20,400 Speaker 1: I've got to tell you, I'm sure many of you 906 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:25,800 Speaker 1: feel the same way. Well, it turns out that some 907 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:31,759 Speaker 1: people have began to try this out. They're willing to 908 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,120 Speaker 1: see if the basic theory here would be correct, and 909 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 1: more or less years here's how it goes. A tremendous 910 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 1: amount of office culture, which I say with a degree 911 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:48,719 Speaker 1: of gives me a shutter because I've spent way too 912 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: much time, especially at the CIA. Office culture was just 913 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 1: a big part of it. Man. You're just in those 914 00:53:54,640 --> 00:54:00,400 Speaker 1: cubicle farms, just walking around, drinking coffee, making copy, you know, 915 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:06,160 Speaker 1: all that stuff, and you realize that time in the 916 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:10,480 Speaker 1: office has been taken. You know, in our minds, this 917 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:16,279 Speaker 1: has been made to equate with productivity and being a 918 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,719 Speaker 1: worthwhile employee. And we've all gotten used to this idea 919 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,680 Speaker 1: of an eight hour workeday. Well, the eight hour workday 920 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,880 Speaker 1: it really comes from the period of the Industrial Revolution, 921 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:30,280 Speaker 1: where hours in the assembly line, or you know, hours 922 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,719 Speaker 1: in the factory did directly because because there was no 923 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 1: way to go beyond whatever it was that you were 924 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,920 Speaker 1: doing hour by hour. Really the factory could become more efficient, 925 00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 1: but you, as a cog in that machine, we're just 926 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 1: doing something. The longer you were there, the more output 927 00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 1: there would be. That has become I think a standard 928 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 1: throughout really, really the whole world, this idea of an 929 00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:58,520 Speaker 1: eight hour work day, and a lot of people I 930 00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,080 Speaker 1: know are listening me in the saying, buck, I wish 931 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: I could work at hours. I work ten hours a 932 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 1: day or I got overtime every day, and it's you know, 933 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,920 Speaker 1: it's crazy, and I'm producer Mark. This guy sometimes comes 934 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,279 Speaker 1: in here. I'm like, how many overnight shifts can you? Can? 935 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 1: You work like four or five days in a row 936 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,799 Speaker 1: before you just show up like a little puddle. I'm 937 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 1: working forty hours this week. You're working eighty hours this week. 938 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:19,800 Speaker 1: You and the left going to Tahiti or something for 939 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:24,360 Speaker 1: the for the Jamaica. Okay, very nice, Yes, not quite Tahiti, 940 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,120 Speaker 1: but very nice. Still gotta pay for it, exactly. Yeah, 941 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 1: so eighty hours. This guy's working over here. Now he 942 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 1: has to be here for the hours of the shows 943 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:36,680 Speaker 1: that are on the air. So so there are cases 944 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:42,880 Speaker 1: where there are there's a necessity of time spent on 945 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,880 Speaker 1: these enterprises that it doesn't you know, you have to 946 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 1: be there, right, I do a three hour radio show 947 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,719 Speaker 1: every day I gotta be able to put out those 948 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:52,360 Speaker 1: three hours or radio every day. There's no way for 949 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,680 Speaker 1: me to do a thirty minute show and cover three hours, right, 950 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,160 Speaker 1: so there's some time, Okay, put that aside from him though, 951 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:02,319 Speaker 1: the general Jesus that we all operate under his more. 952 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 1: You know, eight hours is what is the standard. It's 953 00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,440 Speaker 1: the standard, and that the more hours you spend in 954 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,040 Speaker 1: the office, the more productive you're gonna be. Well, it 955 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,640 Speaker 1: turns out there's there are some companies now that are 956 00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:18,880 Speaker 1: testing this in Bielafeld, Germany, for example. Yeah, so like, 957 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: why don't we have more time to go to the 958 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, the sculpture gardens and drink some helf 959 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,040 Speaker 1: advice and perhaps and you know, I don't know, go dancing, 960 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:32,040 Speaker 1: go listen to some techno music. If I'm working eight 961 00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,799 Speaker 1: to ten hours a day, it's very difficult. I get 962 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:39,960 Speaker 1: very tired. Yeah, so they're trying this out in Bilafeld, Germany. 963 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:46,800 Speaker 1: Lasa rhangans Guten Tag has realized Cordo Watshi Journal that 964 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 1: taking time but check Facebook or respond to reply all 965 00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,719 Speaker 1: emails distracted him from work goals and caused him to 966 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,520 Speaker 1: spend extra hours in the office. Rather than with his 967 00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,279 Speaker 1: young daughters. So when he acquired a small tech consulting 968 00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,360 Speaker 1: firm in late twenty seven, team he introduced a radical 969 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,920 Speaker 1: idea reduced the work day to five hours from the 970 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 1: standard eight, while leaving workers salaries and vacation time at 971 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,720 Speaker 1: the same level. They were not sure if I was kidding, 972 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 1: he says. Some of them thought I was testing them, 973 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 1: but I was being serious employees that they ran this 974 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,920 Speaker 1: whole test. He says that employees can in fact deliver 975 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:25,280 Speaker 1: the same output during a focused twenty five hour work 976 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 1: week as in forty hours interrupted with distractions. I think 977 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 1: this is the way things should go in the future. 978 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm just going to say it. I think this is 979 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,320 Speaker 1: what should happen. I got a whole bunch of bucks 980 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,840 Speaker 1: radical ideas. Here's one. Let's stop waking up kids, especially 981 00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 1: in adolescence, at six thirty seven o'clock in the morning, 982 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 1: jamming them into a classroom at eight am, and making 983 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,760 Speaker 1: them sit in that classroom or a series of classrooms 984 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 1: until three or four o'clock in the afternoon every day. 985 00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:02,080 Speaker 1: This is nuts. Was exhausted for most of high school. 986 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 1: You play sports after school, you know, a couple of 987 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:05,720 Speaker 1: hours you go to a you know, you go to 988 00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,800 Speaker 1: a uh, you know, basket you're playing a basketball game 989 00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:10,800 Speaker 1: or something, or you go play, uh, you know, in 990 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 1: a in a football game, and you you end up 991 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,400 Speaker 1: exhausted and you're yet you're you're put in And look, 992 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 1: let's be honest. I think the reason that the kids 993 00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,960 Speaker 1: go to school store earlis because parents want to drop 994 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,560 Speaker 1: the kids off on their way to work, and so 995 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 1: the parents schedule drives what we're doing with kids. But 996 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,800 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily best for the kids. Kids need more sleep. 997 00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,800 Speaker 1: It's gonna say it. I would have been a better, 998 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:33,560 Speaker 1: more productive student in high school if I could have 999 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,720 Speaker 1: slept till nine thirty ten o'clock in the morning. That 1000 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 1: would have been great. And keep them later if you 1001 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,760 Speaker 1: need to, you know, get anyway, I got, I got 1002 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,360 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of radical ideas. I got a lot 1003 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 1: of things I gotta put out there that I want changed. 1004 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,680 Speaker 1: And there's that book The five hour work week. Now 1005 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,480 Speaker 1: that's really radical. This is the five hour work day. 1006 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 1: But for those of you that like me, have been 1007 00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 1: cubical creatures, which I you know, I did it. I 1008 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 1: put in my ears, I put in my ears in 1009 00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:07,160 Speaker 1: the years in the cubes. Man, Oh, I fought with 1010 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:13,000 Speaker 1: fax machines and printers, printers with a bane of my existence. 1011 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,920 Speaker 1: Oh buck, why don't you do this and collated and 1012 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 1: then you're gonna scan it and then you're gonna put 1013 00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,000 Speaker 1: it in the PDF and the bluff. I was like, what, 1014 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,280 Speaker 1: I had to figure this stuff out all the time. 1015 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 1: That's why that's scene in office space where they take 1016 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,680 Speaker 1: the printer out and they beat it with baseball bats 1017 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:34,080 Speaker 1: was so so sweet. But I've spent way too many 1018 00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:37,560 Speaker 1: hours in offices and I can tell you that I'd say. 1019 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,200 Speaker 1: And bringing back to office space, remember when he says, 1020 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,760 Speaker 1: the main character says, you don't think in any given week, 1021 00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 1: i'd do an actual about about forty minutes a day. 1022 00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,240 Speaker 1: I think he says of real actual or maybe it's 1023 00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 1: forty minutes a week, real actual work. And anyone who 1024 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,479 Speaker 1: spends time in an office will tell you this is true. 1025 00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:59,200 Speaker 1: Anybody who spends time, you know, in the office, we'll 1026 00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 1: let you know that. Most that if they were told, 1027 01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 1: here are your tasks, here's the output that needs to 1028 01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,480 Speaker 1: be done, and if you got it done by one 1029 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 1: or two o'clock in the afternoon, you could leave. Would 1030 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 1: they be able to eliminate distractions and have a more 1031 01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 1: concerted effort over that period, so that the same the 1032 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,800 Speaker 1: company gets the same benefits, but they have a shorter 1033 01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 1: work day. And also does the company then have a 1034 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:29,480 Speaker 1: happier and even more productive and more creative employee on 1035 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,480 Speaker 1: their hands? And I think the answer is yes. Think 1036 01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:39,520 Speaker 1: about all the distractions, the distractions of social media, personal email, 1037 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:44,919 Speaker 1: phone calls, walking around talking to producer Mark about whether 1038 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,960 Speaker 1: baseball or hockey is more boring. I mean, these are 1039 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:52,480 Speaker 1: the things that can really divert you from the work 1040 01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 1: that you have to do. See, he's working right now, 1041 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,880 Speaker 1: so I'm poking at him when he actually has things 1042 01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:00,640 Speaker 1: he has to do. I heard you, and it's noted. Yeah, okay, 1043 01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,520 Speaker 1: you can get back at me later. Point here being 1044 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 1: that there's all this stuff that distracts us all but 1045 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,080 Speaker 1: we're like eight hours, eight hours and sometimes nine hours. 1046 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,560 Speaker 1: Then you get into law where they have all the 1047 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,439 Speaker 1: billable hours stuff so that they just want to spend 1048 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,760 Speaker 1: as many hours. The incentive of our whole corporate law 1049 01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,840 Speaker 1: structure is to extend out and spend as much time 1050 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,560 Speaker 1: doing your tasks as possible to bill you as much 1051 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,920 Speaker 1: as possible. Instead of making the whole process shorter and 1052 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,720 Speaker 1: more efficient for everyone so that it would be based 1053 01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:32,440 Speaker 1: more on outcome, you can have more of a retainer schedule. 1054 01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,439 Speaker 1: You pay somebody to work on the project, the idea 1055 01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,040 Speaker 1: being that you know from start to finish it will 1056 01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,400 Speaker 1: cost X, and just do the bids that way. No, 1057 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 1: what they do is they get a senior associate, gives 1058 01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,720 Speaker 1: it to the junior associate, gives it to the paralegal. 1059 01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,200 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. It's just all might to suck as 1060 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 1: much money from you as possible. That's what the corporate 1061 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 1: legal system is doing right now. Every lawyer listens across 1062 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 1: America is like, yeah, it's totally true, and all of 1063 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:57,920 Speaker 1: them know that they're being told more billable hours, more 1064 01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:03,080 Speaker 1: billable hours. All right, what if we could start to 1065 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 1: develop an office culture. Remember, these things are new inventions 1066 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,520 Speaker 1: in human The idea of an eight hour work day, 1067 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,120 Speaker 1: a forty hour work week, you know, weekends. These are 1068 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:18,120 Speaker 1: new phenomenon in the history of our species. And relatively speaking, 1069 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 1: this stuff has only been around for hundred, one hundred 1070 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 1: and fifty years, depending on what exactly we're talking about. 1071 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 1: There was no work week before Yeah, maybe people had 1072 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,240 Speaker 1: Sundays off Lord's the day of the Lord's arrest in 1073 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 1: America at certain points in our history. But other than that, 1074 01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,800 Speaker 1: it's like you open the store if you wanted to 1075 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,000 Speaker 1: do business, and close the store if there's no business. 1076 01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the way things work. You're running 1077 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:41,560 Speaker 1: a farm, You've got to make sure you plant the 1078 01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:45,520 Speaker 1: crops and you get the food. It's actually a fascinating 1079 01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 1: guy on this particular topic. His name is naval Ravocante, 1080 01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:56,919 Speaker 1: and I sat I have very rarely listened to a podcast, 1081 01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:59,840 Speaker 1: someone else's podcast to why not that? To listen to 1082 01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:02,960 Speaker 1: my podcast more than once, but someone else's podcast more 1083 01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,560 Speaker 1: than once. I listened to Joe Rogan and Naval ravaccount 1084 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,280 Speaker 1: Maybe this was a couple of months ago that they 1085 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,560 Speaker 1: first sat down together. And Neval is a very sharp guy, 1086 01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 1: very smart guy. And Joe Rogan's a fantastic interviewer. And 1087 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,640 Speaker 1: it's just interesting because he approaches things from the perspective 1088 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,520 Speaker 1: of interesting guy who's curious though and knows what he 1089 01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,800 Speaker 1: doesn't know and wants to get answers so that everybody 1090 01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,280 Speaker 1: learns more who's listening, which is a great a great 1091 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 1: approach for any media endeavor and it's why his podcast 1092 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 1: is so huge. But I was listening to this Naval 1093 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:40,320 Speaker 1: ravocount exchange with him, and Neval has a whole theory 1094 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,280 Speaker 1: and he's a he started angel List. He's really he's 1095 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:47,480 Speaker 1: a Silicon Valley guy who's rational and reasonable. He's not leftist, 1096 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,120 Speaker 1: he's not a conservative. He just approaches things on an 1097 01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:52,720 Speaker 1: individual issue basis and tries to find out what's true 1098 01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 1: and what works and what doesn't. He says that are 1099 01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:00,280 Speaker 1: all of this stuff of corporate culture. I mean it 1100 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,440 Speaker 1: really comes out of the industrial revolution, he says. If 1101 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 1: you go even before agriculture, that was the first time 1102 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,880 Speaker 1: that you had people working in cooperatives or in a 1103 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:16,560 Speaker 1: collective sense. If you go pre pre industrialized or pre 1104 01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:22,200 Speaker 1: collectivized agriculture, human beings worked in bands that were effectively 1105 01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 1: family and then tribe and then maybe you know city, state, 1106 01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:31,040 Speaker 1: maybe larger village or something. But that there were these 1107 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:36,440 Speaker 1: concentric circles, and the way that work was done was 1108 01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 1: you worked when you had to work, and then you rested, 1109 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,440 Speaker 1: and you didn't you worked very hard for a little bit, 1110 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,760 Speaker 1: and then you weren't working at all. And there wasn't 1111 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,840 Speaker 1: this sense of constantly going through a set schedule of 1112 01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:49,840 Speaker 1: you just have to work because you have to work 1113 01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 1: because that's what you've been told. He calls it to 1114 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 1: work like a lion. I saw this recently, where you 1115 01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,680 Speaker 1: know a lion. If you ever see them those you 1116 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:00,640 Speaker 1: are like me. I has been way too much time 1117 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:05,400 Speaker 1: watching all of these nature you know, history shows. There 1118 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:09,160 Speaker 1: he is on the Serengetti plane stalking his prey, you 1119 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,240 Speaker 1: know all that stuff. You're like, whoo, it's the lion. 1120 01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,040 Speaker 1: Is a cheetah gonna catch the gazelle this time or 1121 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 1: the antelope or whatever? And I actually need somebody who 1122 01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 1: used to root for the big cats. I just think 1123 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,120 Speaker 1: they're really cool. But he says that I'll a lion. 1124 01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 1: Most of the day. You see them, they're they're hanging out. 1125 01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,200 Speaker 1: They're kind of lying, they're lying. Pardon me bad pun, 1126 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:32,480 Speaker 1: but they're lying around. They're just conserving energy, staying out 1127 01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,880 Speaker 1: of the heat. But then they get hungry and it's like, 1128 01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:38,840 Speaker 1: all right, let's go, let's go and tackle a gazelle 1129 01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:41,560 Speaker 1: and you know, eat it. And then they have a 1130 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:46,320 Speaker 1: tremendous expenditure of energy and they hone their skills through 1131 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,920 Speaker 1: that process. Anyway. He says that human being should approach 1132 01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,320 Speaker 1: should start to think of approaching work more like that, 1133 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 1: and that the Internet, because of the infinite leverage that 1134 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 1: it has, allows this. Sure you may not have been 1135 01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,480 Speaker 1: able to get the work that you want, actually, any 1136 01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:04,640 Speaker 1: kind of virtual work or creative information economy based work, 1137 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,160 Speaker 1: if you could only rely on what was immediately available 1138 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 1: in your town, but not because of the Internet. You know, 1139 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:14,120 Speaker 1: I've paid I paid a graphic designer in Tel Aviv 1140 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:18,120 Speaker 1: to do work for me recently. You know, I've outsourced. 1141 01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,840 Speaker 1: I've had people work on designs for this or logos 1142 01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,040 Speaker 1: for that, or you know, send me a proposal for this, 1143 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,480 Speaker 1: all over the world. And that that is going to 1144 01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,680 Speaker 1: be eventually the direction that a lot of careers, a 1145 01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:35,240 Speaker 1: lot of work starts to go in because you're really 1146 01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:37,720 Speaker 1: not necessarily going back to this five hour work that 1147 01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 1: you're not necessarily more productive, You're certainly not necessarily happier 1148 01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,360 Speaker 1: by spending more hours in the office. There's only so 1149 01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 1: much real intellectual energy that you have on any given day. 1150 01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:51,240 Speaker 1: I mean, even doing this show, I mean I do 1151 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,960 Speaker 1: a three hour radio show every day. My three hour 1152 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,280 Speaker 1: show is about the max of what I think I 1153 01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:59,080 Speaker 1: can do at a certain level. If I did an 1154 01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 1: eight hour radio show every day, I could probably do it. 1155 01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:03,760 Speaker 1: And if you know, Team Buck wants to make it 1156 01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,680 Speaker 1: rain dollar dollar bills up in here, and I could 1157 01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:08,280 Speaker 1: probably do that for you guys, if you know, if 1158 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:12,840 Speaker 1: the numbers were right, but it would be brutal by 1159 01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:14,920 Speaker 1: the fourth hour, by the fifth hour, I'd be I've 1160 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,200 Speaker 1: actually done six hours of radio in one day, so 1161 01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,560 Speaker 1: I've I've gone through this. Before your voice starts to 1162 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:23,640 Speaker 1: give out a little bit, yeah, I mean Republicans and 1163 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 1: the Democrats and start to just you know, your brain 1164 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,600 Speaker 1: just turns to mush after a while. I think about 1165 01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:32,320 Speaker 1: all these people in a work in investment, banking and 1166 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:37,240 Speaker 1: corporate law, these different professions, and so much of their 1167 01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,920 Speaker 1: value is considered how long do you spend in the office, 1168 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:43,840 Speaker 1: much more than how good are you at this thing? 1169 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:48,320 Speaker 1: How efficient are you at completing this task? And that's 1170 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:55,160 Speaker 1: that's a redesign of our whole approach to working in 1171 01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:57,720 Speaker 1: corporate environments. I mean, I think that we're going to 1172 01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:02,240 Speaker 1: see more efforts at this because work life balance especially 1173 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 1: And now it sound like one of these consultants that 1174 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 1: talks about this, but work life balance for millennials. For 1175 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,760 Speaker 1: the younger generations, people don't. People don't want to work 1176 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:12,320 Speaker 1: for the same company for forty years and retire. They 1177 01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,520 Speaker 1: don't want to do that. They want to go through phases. 1178 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,759 Speaker 1: By the way neval Ravacount going back to this conversation, 1179 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 1: he says that you think of the way that in 1180 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:25,840 Speaker 1: some of the earliest iterations of career in Western civilization, 1181 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,559 Speaker 1: like an ancient Rome, you were a student, and then 1182 01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,639 Speaker 1: you were a soldier, and then you were a farmer, 1183 01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:36,200 Speaker 1: and then you were perhaps a merchant, and then you 1184 01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:39,280 Speaker 1: were a statesman, And there are different life phases, and 1185 01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't all just you do one thing or that's 1186 01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:45,400 Speaker 1: a new a new phenomenon, not one that we necessarily 1187 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,720 Speaker 1: have to all just agree to and replicate. So five 1188 01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:50,320 Speaker 1: hour workdays would that be cool? I think it would. 1189 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,240 Speaker 1: Is it worth a shot at more places to see 1190 01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:54,760 Speaker 1: if they can get the work done with fewer distractions 1191 01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:58,920 Speaker 1: and greater expectations of output. Yeah, I do, because spending 1192 01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,280 Speaker 1: our lives in cubes just because that's what we're told 1193 01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,920 Speaker 1: to do doesn't seem like a good idea to me. 1194 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,240 Speaker 1: And if we could all get out of that mentality, 1195 01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,920 Speaker 1: I think we could be living much healthier, happier corporate lives. 1196 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:11,240 Speaker 1: I really do just want to say, I hope you 1197 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:13,800 Speaker 1: all are enjoying the new Pluto stream that we do 1198 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:15,320 Speaker 1: here of the show.

Welcome back to The Buck 1219 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,800 Speaker 1: Sexton Show, everybody. I have some updates for you on 1220 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:19,360 Speaker 1: the story of James Younger. We talked about this earlier 1221 01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,759 Speaker 1: in the week. James Younger is the seven year old boy. 1222 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:28,040 Speaker 1: I know I'm supposed to say they instead of he. Now, 1223 01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:30,599 Speaker 1: this is what I'm told, sever year old boy who 1224 01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:35,920 Speaker 1: is at the center of a court mandated, court involved 1225 01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:40,720 Speaker 1: custody dispute that has to do with gender affirmation and 1226 01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:45,160 Speaker 1: gender transition. Essentially, this is we are told a seven 1227 01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:50,040 Speaker 1: year old transgender girl. I suppose right, because if you 1228 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:52,320 Speaker 1: if you're a boy, you're trying to be seven year 1229 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,439 Speaker 1: old transgender girl. That's what That's what the story is. 1230 01:10:54,560 --> 01:11:02,960 Speaker 1: That's what we are being told. Okay, let's um, let's 1231 01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,080 Speaker 1: look at this for a moment, Shelley. The Washington Post 1232 01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 1: has a version of this story up today. I thought 1233 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:13,680 Speaker 1: was very interesting. Um. First off, that they like to 1234 01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,639 Speaker 1: use they, being the Washington Post, like to use they, 1235 01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,680 Speaker 1: which is a plural pronoun for a seven year old boy. Now, 1236 01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:26,760 Speaker 1: because the mother, doctor George Lush, George, George, George Last, 1237 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 1: I think that's how you say her name, says that 1238 01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:34,040 Speaker 1: this young child is in fact transgender. Just an interesting 1239 01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:40,160 Speaker 1: no here, because I've pointed this out before that this doctor, 1240 01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:46,240 Speaker 1: and this I'm sure surprises pretty much no one, has 1241 01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,519 Speaker 1: a medical practice where she talks a lot about she 1242 01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:56,840 Speaker 1: she advertises modern parenting. She's a lib, folks. The doctor 1243 01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,360 Speaker 1: is a big liberal. This is exactly what I would 1244 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:02,160 Speaker 1: have expected. And I'm sure if we were to dig 1245 01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 1: into this a little bit, the doctor, it's just a 1246 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:09,639 Speaker 1: coincidence that this pediatrician who has custody of these twins 1247 01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:13,519 Speaker 1: and one of them is this boy. This pediatrician is 1248 01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:20,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure, very vocal and very committed to transgender rights 1249 01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:22,720 Speaker 1: and transgenderism. I'd be willing to bet if you were 1250 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:24,920 Speaker 1: to dig into the sumari you'd find out. And now 1251 01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that necessarily means that doctor George 1252 01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,160 Speaker 1: Julis has engaged in brainwashing of a seven year old 1253 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:37,240 Speaker 1: to affirm a certain political purpose or to be part 1254 01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,360 Speaker 1: of It's really a political affirmation, not gender affirmation that's 1255 01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:44,120 Speaker 1: happening here. But I am saying it's suspicious. I am 1256 01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,480 Speaker 1: saying there's a part of that goes, wow, another progressive 1257 01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,920 Speaker 1: who happens? You know, it's never some It's never parents 1258 01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:54,320 Speaker 1: who are like, yeah, we're just like normal parents, you know, 1259 01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:56,720 Speaker 1: go to church on Sunday, like take the kids to 1260 01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:00,240 Speaker 1: get some ice cream. It's always parents who are big 1261 01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:04,360 Speaker 1: proponents of alternative lifestyles and transgenderism and modern New age 1262 01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:06,799 Speaker 1: parenting and you know, have a lot of wind chimes 1263 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,880 Speaker 1: in their house and you know, essential oils and stuff. 1264 01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,080 Speaker 1: That those seem to be the parents that somehow have 1265 01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,880 Speaker 1: transgender kids. I'm not talking about transgend adults, it's about 1266 01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:18,080 Speaker 1: transgender kids. This is just a fact. There is this 1267 01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:22,320 Speaker 1: correlation between people who are transgender activist and then all 1268 01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:24,160 Speaker 1: of a sudden they have they have a child, and 1269 01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:29,960 Speaker 1: that child is transgender. Oh remember some study that came 1270 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,320 Speaker 1: out of Brown University a little while ago that had 1271 01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:36,519 Speaker 1: to be suppressed, had to be suppressed. In fact, it 1272 01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:42,040 Speaker 1: was peer reviewed, published and then retracted. The study was 1273 01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:52,000 Speaker 1: a look at whether among children transgenderism was psychologically contagious. 1274 01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,000 Speaker 1: That's not what they that's not how they phrase it, 1275 01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:57,320 Speaker 1: but that's essentially what the study looked at, meaning that 1276 01:13:57,400 --> 01:13:59,360 Speaker 1: when one student shows up at school and says, hey, 1277 01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm transgender. When it's a seven or eight nine year old, 1278 01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:06,840 Speaker 1: then the likelihood of another student deciding that he or 1279 01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:12,599 Speaker 1: she is transgender goes up dramatically. Now you could say 1280 01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:17,479 Speaker 1: that maybe that's because oh, this one student had all 1281 01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,479 Speaker 1: along been transgender and then this just broke the damn, 1282 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,680 Speaker 1: so to speak. Or you could see the amount of 1283 01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:28,800 Speaker 1: attention and special privilege and elevation giving to the transgender 1284 01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,920 Speaker 1: student who is seven or eight years old, and another 1285 01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:35,639 Speaker 1: impressionable seven or eight year old child sees this and goes, 1286 01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:38,479 Speaker 1: maybe I am too. You know, I'd like to get 1287 01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 1: all this attention. That study was They burned it to 1288 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,560 Speaker 1: the ground, They pretended it never happened. They pulled it 1289 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,920 Speaker 1: off the internet. They oh, we can't. And it was 1290 01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,479 Speaker 1: a study done by people who look at the issue 1291 01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:57,280 Speaker 1: of transgenderism. It was an academic, peer reviewed article that 1292 01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:02,680 Speaker 1: came to the conclusion that, yeah, genderism is effectively a 1293 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:06,880 Speaker 1: psychological contagion for kids. They see it and then they think, well, 1294 01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:09,200 Speaker 1: maybe I am too, which means that it's not some 1295 01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:15,800 Speaker 1: innate characteristic at birth. It's a social construct that might 1296 01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:19,599 Speaker 1: have also deep psychological roots. But whether or not those 1297 01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:24,200 Speaker 1: deep psychological roots should be affirmed as a very difficult 1298 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,760 Speaker 1: and complicated question, isn't it. So I just would note 1299 01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,280 Speaker 1: that there's always they'll pretend the science is on their 1300 01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:32,320 Speaker 1: side here, but any science that the left doesn't like 1301 01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,679 Speaker 1: about this stuff, they will negate. I have seen already 1302 01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:39,000 Speaker 1: some debates around this where transgender activists will say, what 1303 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,599 Speaker 1: about intersex people? And I've been on this from the beginning. 1304 01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 1: I've been saying this in the beginning. If it's about 1305 01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:49,000 Speaker 1: intersex individuals, then they're claiming that there's a physical distinction 1306 01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:52,600 Speaker 1: that makes someone transgender that does not exist in a 1307 01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:59,640 Speaker 1: vast majority over ninety nine percent of transgender cases. Transgenderism 1308 01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:04,679 Speaker 1: is almost entirely a psychological phenomenon with no physical roots whatsoever. 1309 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:08,800 Speaker 1: So to point to somebody who has the very genetically 1310 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:12,960 Speaker 1: aberrant or unusual characteristics of some male and some female 1311 01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:16,519 Speaker 1: genitali also as being a hermaphrodite, that's that was the 1312 01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,120 Speaker 1: previous term. People don't that term has fallen out of 1313 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:20,760 Speaker 1: favor now or they don't like it, which is fine. 1314 01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:24,360 Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm just saying it's now we're to 1315 01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,919 Speaker 1: refer to it as intersex. But the reality of intersex 1316 01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,280 Speaker 1: individuals really has nothing to do with the transgender debate 1317 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:35,360 Speaker 1: because transgender individuals are not intersex, and that's not the end, 1318 01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,759 Speaker 1: and intersex individuals have been for a long time. Usually 1319 01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:44,680 Speaker 1: there there's much greater, uh, you know, the sexual characteristics 1320 01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:46,920 Speaker 1: are more clearly one gender than the other, and then 1321 01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:49,479 Speaker 1: a determination is made to go with that gender. And 1322 01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:55,120 Speaker 1: sometimes it's very minimal or vestigial characteristics of the other 1323 01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:57,160 Speaker 1: gender that can be dealt with quickly at birth and 1324 01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:59,080 Speaker 1: then anyone. Not to get too into the details here, 1325 01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:04,240 Speaker 1: I've read a bit about this stuff, but what we 1326 01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:10,600 Speaker 1: have now is a progressive crusade underway. You see, in 1327 01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:15,799 Speaker 1: the state of Texas. Until this case, it had been standard. 1328 01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:18,879 Speaker 1: Remember this is a family court case, as being decided 1329 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,799 Speaker 1: by I'm sure if we looked into this judge's background, 1330 01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,920 Speaker 1: you'd find out very pro transgender rights. Probably has gone 1331 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,680 Speaker 1: to like you know, women's march rallies, and I mean, 1332 01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:30,599 Speaker 1: I'm sure, all right, I mean, you're just this stuff. 1333 01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:33,360 Speaker 1: I'm never surprised by any of this. So you have 1334 01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:37,080 Speaker 1: a female judge who has given sole custody of these twins, 1335 01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:42,599 Speaker 1: including the young James young James younger to the mother, 1336 01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:47,679 Speaker 1: doctor Georgilis, who is a modern medical practitioner or whatever 1337 01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,160 Speaker 1: that means. I think a lot of wind chimes and 1338 01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:54,920 Speaker 1: essential oils in that office, we might guess. And she 1339 01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:57,880 Speaker 1: has decided that this judge has decided to break with 1340 01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:02,600 Speaker 1: what is usually the case the parent who, as The 1341 01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:06,240 Speaker 1: Washington Post writes, because there's so much politicization. This Washington 1342 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,080 Speaker 1: Post was supposed to be a hard newspiece. First of all, 1343 01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:10,760 Speaker 1: they're using a plural pronoun they to refer to a child, 1344 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 1: which is just it's just weird. It just reads in 1345 01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,680 Speaker 1: a clunky fashion, doesn't make any sense. It's not a they, 1346 01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,320 Speaker 1: it's a he or a she. There's there's really no 1347 01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:25,919 Speaker 1: other way to But they also say that those parents 1348 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:31,839 Speaker 1: in the past who have been gender suppressive ah instead 1349 01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:36,680 Speaker 1: of gender affirming, have tended to get custody, meaning the 1350 01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,679 Speaker 1: parent who says this was this person was born a boy, 1351 01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:41,600 Speaker 1: I'm raising him as a boy. I don't care what 1352 01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 1: the wife or the husband says here had been the 1353 01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,320 Speaker 1: one that get custody. This judge in this case has 1354 01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,920 Speaker 1: flipped it around and say, oh, nope, nope, nope, full 1355 01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:55,000 Speaker 1: custody to the gender affirming or gender transition proponent parent 1356 01:18:56,240 --> 01:19:01,960 Speaker 1: in this case. This is one of the reasons why 1357 01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:06,200 Speaker 1: Texas Governor Abbott is looking into this, and this has 1358 01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,120 Speaker 1: become an issue that is getting a lot of national 1359 01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:11,320 Speaker 1: attention because this is a case that will have ramifications 1360 01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:14,160 Speaker 1: for other cases like it across the country. Isn't it 1361 01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:15,760 Speaker 1: also just to take a step back for this for 1362 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:20,120 Speaker 1: a minute. Isn't it stunning how much time the country 1363 01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:24,120 Speaker 1: and the media spends on transgender rights issues, given that 1364 01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:29,360 Speaker 1: the transgender percentage of the population is less than one percent, 1365 01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:33,360 Speaker 1: and I believe it's less than point one percent, and 1366 01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,920 Speaker 1: yet we spent a tremendous amount of time on this, 1367 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:41,080 Speaker 1: and we have discussed why. It's in part because they 1368 01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,519 Speaker 1: believe this is the new civil rights crusade, and the 1369 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:47,560 Speaker 1: left is always looking for a new civil rights crusade, 1370 01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:51,400 Speaker 1: or perhaps they would say they prefer jihad to crusade. 1371 01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:54,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, the terminology is constantly change it. 1372 01:19:56,080 --> 01:20:00,760 Speaker 1: But they're always looking for something, and this in an 1373 01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,679 Speaker 1: instance where they can bring to bear all the rhetoric 1374 01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:08,280 Speaker 1: about social justice. But as we know, gender eradication really 1375 01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:12,360 Speaker 1: radical gender equality, such that gender is no longer allowed 1376 01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:16,280 Speaker 1: to be a characteristic that affects your life at all, 1377 01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:19,640 Speaker 1: which is bizarre because you know, if there's men and 1378 01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:22,800 Speaker 1: women making babies, propagation of the species. But to get 1379 01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,600 Speaker 1: as close as possible to eliminating and eradicating those distinctions 1380 01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 1: is a goal of the left and has been since 1381 01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:34,200 Speaker 1: the earliest days of Marx and the radical socialists who 1382 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:38,400 Speaker 1: follow his theories, or just the socialists who follow us theories. 1383 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:40,960 Speaker 1: They've been trying to eradicate gender difference for a very 1384 01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:42,560 Speaker 1: long time. You saw this in the Soviet Union, and 1385 01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,560 Speaker 1: see this in many other countries. This was true in 1386 01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:46,560 Speaker 1: Mao's China. By the way, women were not supposed to 1387 01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,439 Speaker 1: dress in a way that was they're visibly women. That 1388 01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 1: it became the fashion to dress in a way that 1389 01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,320 Speaker 1: was very similar to men because they were gonna be workers. 1390 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:54,640 Speaker 1: They're gonna be at the plants, they're going to be 1391 01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:59,240 Speaker 1: part of the industrialization process. That's also why you had 1392 01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:02,920 Speaker 1: a massive childcare program. You know, oh gosh, we're gonna 1393 01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:07,400 Speaker 1: take care of your kids. And Elizabeth Warren says we're 1394 01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:11,280 Speaker 1: gonna have massive childcare. The Soviet Union had that state 1395 01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:13,040 Speaker 1: will take care of your kids. There's no more maternal 1396 01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 1: paternal forget all that you make the baby, you hand 1397 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:17,680 Speaker 1: it over to the state. You just go work, You 1398 01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:19,719 Speaker 1: go labor for the state, and then the state takes 1399 01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:21,639 Speaker 1: a percentage of your labor and gives it to other people. 1400 01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:25,879 Speaker 1: And that's supposed to create a utopia, actually creates a nightmare. 1401 01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:29,960 Speaker 1: But libs never seemed to learn this lesson. But back 1402 01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:35,560 Speaker 1: to James Younger. Also in this piece, I mean, and 1403 01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:37,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to read you the whole site. It's 1404 01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:41,479 Speaker 1: in the Washington Post today. It's by Teo Armus. If 1405 01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,160 Speaker 1: you want to read it yourself, you're welcome to who 1406 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:49,479 Speaker 1: are saying, Oh, there's so much misinformation around the case 1407 01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:52,519 Speaker 1: of James Younger now Luna Younger, and we are told 1408 01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:56,519 Speaker 1: according to the mother who has soul custody. And I 1409 01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:01,280 Speaker 1: have to say, the way that they try to make 1410 01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:05,559 Speaker 1: it sound like it's misinformation is stunning. They go to doctors. Now, 1411 01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,320 Speaker 1: doctors are being appropriated in this process too. Doctors are 1412 01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:12,120 Speaker 1: having their arms twisted. You know, there is a reason 1413 01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,599 Speaker 1: that they had an MD if they had a planned parenthood. 1414 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:16,280 Speaker 1: Recently with Lina Wen who, by the way, it wasn't 1415 01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 1: radical enough wasn't radical enough for planned parenthood. We know, 1416 01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:22,880 Speaker 1: we figured that out. They don't want to. They don't 1417 01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,920 Speaker 1: really want an MD. They want just a true, pure ideologue, 1418 01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:30,280 Speaker 1: a planned parenthood, abortion, always, forever, for any reason, at 1419 01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:34,120 Speaker 1: any time. That's the only acceptable stance. They also want 1420 01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:37,040 Speaker 1: doctors involved in this process, and I've seen some of 1421 01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,200 Speaker 1: them getting very vocal on Twitter, and doctors who will 1422 01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:42,000 Speaker 1: say shockingly stupid things that just because they have an 1423 01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,679 Speaker 1: MD doesn't make it right. Are There is no such 1424 01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:49,759 Speaker 1: thing as a gender transition surgery that gives functional sexual 1425 01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:53,120 Speaker 1: organs of the other sex to the gender transitioning individual. 1426 01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:55,559 Speaker 1: There's no such thing, doesn't exist. So they can keep 1427 01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:58,760 Speaker 1: saying that gender transition surgery this, that, and the other thing. 1428 01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:02,080 Speaker 1: You cannot actually transition to a functioning set of sex 1429 01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:04,320 Speaker 1: organs of the other sex. Doesn't work, can't do it. 1430 01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:09,200 Speaker 1: And this is why these slogans you'll see on social 1431 01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:13,439 Speaker 1: media that are repeated by leftist imbeciles, like not only 1432 01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:18,760 Speaker 1: women get periods, false, only women get periods, Only women menstruate. 1433 01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:28,160 Speaker 1: Only men can create the stuff that you know makes 1434 01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:31,920 Speaker 1: the babies with you know, anyway, we all remember this 1435 01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:38,599 Speaker 1: from health class. But what do they say, the misinformation is, oh, 1436 01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 1: they have all these huffy experts. Oh, they're so so 1437 01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:47,080 Speaker 1: outraged that the conservative misinformation say they're they're not going 1438 01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:53,160 Speaker 1: to start young Luna Younger formerly James on On you 1439 01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:57,960 Speaker 1: know massive hormones right away. That's such a lie. They 1440 01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,679 Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. That's not how the process of gender 1441 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,320 Speaker 1: affirmation works. And then you read down the article, but 1442 01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:05,800 Speaker 1: they're like, it wouldn't really start till puberty, so at 1443 01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:08,280 Speaker 1: least like three or four years before that happens. Oh, 1444 01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:12,000 Speaker 1: okay in that case, So we're not gonna put the 1445 01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:15,760 Speaker 1: puberty blockers in the seven year old based on the 1446 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:17,840 Speaker 1: fact that he liked the movie Frozen and wanted to 1447 01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:19,720 Speaker 1: wear a dress one day, and his mom's like, oh, great, 1448 01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:23,720 Speaker 1: I've got a gender transition here. That's what happened. I 1449 01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:28,760 Speaker 1: think now we're gonna be told, well, there's nothing really 1450 01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:31,200 Speaker 1: to worry about here, because they're not going to mess 1451 01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,160 Speaker 1: with this kid's hormones. And as well as this psychology 1452 01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:38,760 Speaker 1: at a stage of development that is incredibly important for 1453 01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:41,799 Speaker 1: any human being, and it's a bit challenging and precarious 1454 01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:43,720 Speaker 1: for people without all these different you know, puberty and 1455 01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:49,000 Speaker 1: all this can bring in changes and emotions and glandular 1456 01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:50,880 Speaker 1: and you know all, you know, all the stuff that 1457 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,640 Speaker 1: we all know that happens. Oh okay, so we're the 1458 01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,400 Speaker 1: bad people because we're saying, oh my gosh, they're gonna 1459 01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:59,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna set this kid up to do hormone therapy 1460 01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,000 Speaker 1: and they post goes to cite experts and it's just 1461 01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:05,599 Speaker 1: so smug and all these stupid conservatives out there. Oh yeah, 1462 01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:07,080 Speaker 1: they're not going to do it for at least like 1463 01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:11,120 Speaker 1: three or four years. Man, it will be ten or eleven. 1464 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,080 Speaker 1: At that point, ten or eleven year olds could basically 1465 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,680 Speaker 1: run the country. As we know, the Libs think that 1466 01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:19,360 Speaker 1: actually we should listen to like young teenagers and adolescents 1467 01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:21,280 Speaker 1: about how to run the country, as long as they 1468 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:23,800 Speaker 1: say left wing slogans that they've been that have been 1469 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:26,080 Speaker 1: dictated to them by their parents. This is lunacy, this 1470 01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,479 Speaker 1: is child abuse, this is wrong. This is wrong. And 1471 01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:31,360 Speaker 1: the people that are supporting at the Washington Post and 1472 01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:37,880 Speaker 1: they're they're a disgrace. It's very clear, and I see 1473 01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:39,519 Speaker 1: people pointing out, you know, we live in a country 1474 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:46,040 Speaker 1: now where if you you know, spank a child not 1475 01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:51,080 Speaker 1: even particularly hard and you know whatever, you're a child 1476 01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:56,519 Speaker 1: abuser according to the law, and if you pump your 1477 01:25:56,600 --> 01:26:00,680 Speaker 1: child full of hormones to block puberty, you are a 1478 01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:04,920 Speaker 1: left wing hero. I don't think that's the way it 1479 01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:08,439 Speaker 1: should be. Early this morning, the government of Turkey informed 1480 01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:12,760 Speaker 1: my administration that they would be stopping combat and they're 1481 01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:17,880 Speaker 1: offensive in Syria and making the ceasefire permanent. And it 1482 01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:23,200 Speaker 1: will indeed be permanent. However, you would also define the 1483 01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:26,880 Speaker 1: word permanent in that part of the world as somewhat questionable. 1484 01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,479 Speaker 1: We all understand that, but I do believe it will 1485 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:35,519 Speaker 1: be permanent. Ceasefire as of now seems to be holding. 1486 01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:40,200 Speaker 1: I remember being told what was it last week, that 1487 01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:43,280 Speaker 1: there was genocide happening, that this was this blood would 1488 01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:46,599 Speaker 1: be on the hands of the Trump administration forever. How 1489 01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,439 Speaker 1: could you not understand, buck, I had conservatives who are 1490 01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:51,240 Speaker 1: coming aft with friends of mine, people I know, well, 1491 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,920 Speaker 1: how can you not see what a horrible betrayal this is, 1492 01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,400 Speaker 1: and that it means that the Kurds will be left 1493 01:26:57,439 --> 01:27:01,120 Speaker 1: to the mercy of what were they what was the 1494 01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:04,200 Speaker 1: alternative going to be here? It turns out the Kurds 1495 01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:08,200 Speaker 1: are striking a deal with the Russians, and guess what 1496 01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:15,439 Speaker 1: we are Finally, it seems shrinking our battlefield efforts in 1497 01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,280 Speaker 1: the Middle East, or at least beginning to shrinker battlefield 1498 01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:20,600 Speaker 1: efforts the Middle East. And I would just note that 1499 01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:26,639 Speaker 1: the hysteria that greeted this initially was, as I was saying, 1500 01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:29,760 Speaker 1: it was as though Trump had been asleep at the 1501 01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:32,720 Speaker 1: wheel and we'd been hit with Pearl Harbor. People are 1502 01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:35,880 Speaker 1: acting like this was the worst national security calamity of 1503 01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:40,240 Speaker 1: a generation. And it was a border dispute between Turkey 1504 01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:43,040 Speaker 1: and the Kurds that has been happening for thirty years 1505 01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:45,679 Speaker 1: and it didn't last one in a couple of days. 1506 01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:47,200 Speaker 1: And guess what. Now they've got some kind of an 1507 01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:49,280 Speaker 1: agreement and it looks like there's a framework going forward. 1508 01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 1: So who so far looks like they had more of 1509 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,920 Speaker 1: a sense of what was really going on here the 1510 01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:59,720 Speaker 1: national security intelligentsia we're saying that Trump was crazy or 1511 01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:03,400 Speaker 1: the Trump administration that is doing what they said all 1512 01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:06,360 Speaker 1: along they would do. And another news there has been 1513 01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:09,200 Speaker 1: a renewed focus not just on the Syria conflict, because 1514 01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:14,640 Speaker 1: that was all meant to be a means of attacking Trump, right, 1515 01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:17,599 Speaker 1: That's why the media all of a sudden became such 1516 01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:22,400 Speaker 1: tremendous fans of the Kords and what was going on 1517 01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:24,519 Speaker 1: in Syria. They acted like it had been a stable 1518 01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:26,240 Speaker 1: and nice and happy place for the last six or 1519 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,080 Speaker 1: seven years, and all of a sudden Trump came along 1520 01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:31,640 Speaker 1: and ruined everything. There's also a greater focus on what 1521 01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:34,559 Speaker 1: is really a forgotten war in eastern Ukraine right now 1522 01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:37,640 Speaker 1: between the Russians and the Ukrainians, and I think there 1523 01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 1: are some aspects of that that you will not hear 1524 01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:43,280 Speaker 1: in the media that I want to share with you 1525 01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:47,240 Speaker 1: before we get into roll Call today. One is it's 1526 01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:51,280 Speaker 1: effectively trench warfare. I mean literally trench warfare. They're building 1527 01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:56,400 Speaker 1: trenches and the enemies are the two combatant sides are 1528 01:28:56,560 --> 01:29:00,240 Speaker 1: separated by really a couple of hundred yards from each other, 1529 01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:07,200 Speaker 1: separated by or a separated and entrenches. There's some use 1530 01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:10,320 Speaker 1: of artillery. There's really no planes that are being used 1531 01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:13,160 Speaker 1: right now, so there's not really an aerial component to this. 1532 01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:19,519 Speaker 1: The Ukrainians cannot use planes to help them out because 1533 01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:21,639 Speaker 1: of Russian air defense systems that are in the hands 1534 01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:23,880 Speaker 1: of the Russian backed separatists. And I'm told by people 1535 01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:26,439 Speaker 1: I know who are experts in the region that the 1536 01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:30,519 Speaker 1: Russian backed separatists are in many cases just Russian who 1537 01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:36,000 Speaker 1: are pretending to be from this Donbass region of eastern Ukraine. 1538 01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:39,960 Speaker 1: Some interesting backstory on this, though you wouldn't get this 1539 01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:41,760 Speaker 1: from the media. The Donbass region is where all the 1540 01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:45,559 Speaker 1: coal and the industry is in Ukraine, and in fact 1541 01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:50,640 Speaker 1: don Boss pays for much of the budgets. Ukraine has 1542 01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:53,519 Speaker 1: broken up into provinces or states somewhat like Americas, and 1543 01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:57,120 Speaker 1: the eastern part, which is also the Russian speaking part 1544 01:29:57,240 --> 01:29:59,840 Speaker 1: of Ukraine. Many people who grow up in this region 1545 01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:03,600 Speaker 1: Ukraine are their first languages Russian and they learn Ukrainian. 1546 01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:07,360 Speaker 1: But the Russian speaking part of the country is where 1547 01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:13,080 Speaker 1: the money is, and the western part of the country, 1548 01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:17,080 Speaker 1: which is the more pro Western as in pro European 1549 01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:21,440 Speaker 1: Union an American. There's a lot of tension and animosity 1550 01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:25,519 Speaker 1: between what are really two cultures within the same state. 1551 01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:31,880 Speaker 1: They say that the Ukrainians in the east are unsophisticated. 1552 01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:37,240 Speaker 1: They're like the the equivalent of you hillbillies or something 1553 01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:40,160 Speaker 1: in Ukraine, and they have nasty words for them, and 1554 01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:44,840 Speaker 1: so there's always been this this tension and Putin has 1555 01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:49,360 Speaker 1: played off of that by suggect by by starting this 1556 01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:53,840 Speaker 1: invasion and also obviously the annexation of Crimea, by picking 1557 01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:58,880 Speaker 1: off these areas where there is a history of a 1558 01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:02,559 Speaker 1: Russian culture, Russian language, and where they feel like they 1559 01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:05,320 Speaker 1: are not being treated well by the state. So you know, 1560 01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:07,479 Speaker 1: the dynamics here are a little bit more complicated than 1561 01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:10,760 Speaker 1: just the straightforward oh well, like there's this invasion and 1562 01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:14,280 Speaker 1: we're all it's it's just the Russians there. Yeah, what 1563 01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:16,880 Speaker 1: the Russians are doing is bad. I think the casualties 1564 01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:19,519 Speaker 1: they say are fifteen thousand in this wars of people 1565 01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:23,160 Speaker 1: are people are fighting and dying on the front the 1566 01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:27,360 Speaker 1: front lines of this of this conflict. And what I 1567 01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:29,360 Speaker 1: think is interesting the President Trump came along is like, 1568 01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:33,400 Speaker 1: let's send Javalin anti tank missiles to the Ukrainians. And 1569 01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:35,599 Speaker 1: now there's some reporting they're not supposed to use them 1570 01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:37,760 Speaker 1: on the front lines, but they have them. Well, I 1571 01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:40,439 Speaker 1: think that means that the Russians aren't supposed to know 1572 01:31:40,720 --> 01:31:42,600 Speaker 1: where they have them. And if the Russians try to 1573 01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:46,599 Speaker 1: just overrun the Ukrainian fighting positions with heavy armor, then 1574 01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:49,000 Speaker 1: they could rush to the front these Javalins. So just 1575 01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:51,040 Speaker 1: the presence that they have bought them. They have these 1576 01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:53,800 Speaker 1: Javelin anti tank missiles that are very effective, especially in 1577 01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:58,800 Speaker 1: a relatively close combat against armor, and they I believe 1578 01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:00,680 Speaker 1: it also sent them sniper rifle, which, given that you're 1579 01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:02,880 Speaker 1: in trench warfare and you're separated by a few hundred yards, 1580 01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:07,639 Speaker 1: really makes a big difference. The Trump administration has been 1581 01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:13,240 Speaker 1: more helpful and more willing to risk Russia's ire in 1582 01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:16,840 Speaker 1: this conflict by giving lethal aid. The Europeans would not 1583 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,880 Speaker 1: give lethal aid to the Ukrainian military, would not do it. 1584 01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:25,880 Speaker 1: America under the Obama administration would not give lethal aid 1585 01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:29,519 Speaker 1: to the Ukrainian military to stop this Russian advance and 1586 01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:32,559 Speaker 1: really the carving up of a part of eastern Ukraine 1587 01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:35,920 Speaker 1: as a province of Russia. Trump comes along, we're told 1588 01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,240 Speaker 1: that he's Putin's puppet, We're told all these terrible things 1589 01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:40,519 Speaker 1: about him, and he says, no, let's do that thing 1590 01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:44,800 Speaker 1: that the Obama administration was unwilling to do. And so 1591 01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:47,240 Speaker 1: I think that this is all helpful to know. When 1592 01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:50,439 Speaker 1: we're talking about the military aid. The military aid was 1593 01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:55,720 Speaker 1: not held up. The military aid continued. It's been very necessary. 1594 01:32:56,040 --> 01:32:59,479 Speaker 1: Ukraine is not a wealthy country does not have a 1595 01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:04,439 Speaker 1: particularly high level and professional military, so they really do 1596 01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:08,920 Speaker 1: need the assistance, and the Trump administration has provided that 1597 01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:11,720 Speaker 1: assistance and has actually provided more assistance than Obama did. 1598 01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:14,160 Speaker 1: So if we're gonna talk about this, I think we 1599 01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:18,519 Speaker 1: should at least have those basic facts in place. And 1600 01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:25,479 Speaker 1: with that, my friends, little roll call. The show ain't 1601 01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:34,040 Speaker 1: over yet, folks keeping it real.

Adam, Right, Wow, another producer Buck, 1617 01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:37,840 Speaker 1: I think you should task producer Mark with adding a 1618 01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:40,400 Speaker 1: lot more movie drops like let off some steam Bennett, 1619 01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:43,080 Speaker 1: or dogs and Cats living together, mass hysteria shields high. 1620 01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:44,840 Speaker 1: Producer Mark, would you be up for adding in some 1621 01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:47,360 Speaker 1: movie drops? Maybe if I get some help here in 1622 01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:49,680 Speaker 1: the Freedom Month? Yeah, because right now, you guys can't 1623 01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:55,200 Speaker 1: see if a producer Mark is operating like several it 1624 01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:57,120 Speaker 1: looks a little bit like remember the guy in the 1625 01:34:57,200 --> 01:35:01,080 Speaker 1: matrix who's got all the computers. But yes, yeah, you're 1626 01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:03,599 Speaker 1: set ups like that. Yeah, except you have to kind 1627 01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:04,800 Speaker 1: of move around to the chair to get to all 1628 01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:06,360 Speaker 1: At least I have a roly chair, so I can 1629 01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:08,280 Speaker 1: just use my legs to get around. He's like, he's 1630 01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:11,040 Speaker 1: like swirling and swiveling around during the whole show to 1631 01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:12,519 Speaker 1: try to get to all the different computers to make 1632 01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:15,120 Speaker 1: this thing. We're a we're like a two man band 1633 01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:17,120 Speaker 1: in here where you're playing. There's playing a lot of 1634 01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 1: different instruments and you would never know. Yeah, and you're 1635 01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:21,720 Speaker 1: the singer. I just sing exactly, that's right. He does 1636 01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:24,160 Speaker 1: all the other stuff. He's running around. He's doing drums 1637 01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:27,439 Speaker 1: and tambourine and guitar and playing the bass behind his 1638 01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:29,800 Speaker 1: back and doing all kinds of stuff like that. Basically, yeah, 1639 01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:34,400 Speaker 1: good job, thank you, well done. Mark. I don't get 1640 01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:38,200 Speaker 1: why we are fretting so much about the Kurds since 1641 01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:41,680 Speaker 1: it was their homeland being targeted by ISIS, wasn't it 1642 01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:45,040 Speaker 1: It really us helping them instead of them helping us. 1643 01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:48,439 Speaker 1: The Kurds really don't share our values. They adhere to 1644 01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:51,520 Speaker 1: Sharia law and over half of their women are subjected 1645 01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:55,000 Speaker 1: to FGM. These people are not really our friends. We 1646 01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:58,599 Speaker 1: just shared a common enemy. Well, Mark, the Kurds were 1647 01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:01,120 Speaker 1: staunch allies. I would say that my time with the 1648 01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:04,600 Speaker 1: Kurds Inner Rock would tell me that they they have 1649 01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:09,479 Speaker 1: built an enclave of stability and real civilization in northern Iraq, 1650 01:36:09,520 --> 01:36:13,479 Speaker 1: including during the worst times in that war or when 1651 01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:15,519 Speaker 1: when things were the most unstable in Iraq. So I 1652 01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:19,800 Speaker 1: do think they deserve some credit for that. And they 1653 01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,880 Speaker 1: have not stabbed Americans in the back. They have not 1654 01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:28,040 Speaker 1: been an untrustworthy partner on the battlefield for the most part, 1655 01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:31,880 Speaker 1: with probably very very few exceptions. So and as to 1656 01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:33,600 Speaker 1: I have to look at the numbers I do know 1657 01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:37,960 Speaker 1: that there has been there is some FGM, which is 1658 01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,360 Speaker 1: female general mutilation, which is practiced in some of the 1659 01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:44,680 Speaker 1: Kurdish areas. I do there's also I do not know 1660 01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:48,000 Speaker 1: what the percentages, and I also don't know how extreme 1661 01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:50,560 Speaker 1: without getting into these is how extreme the procedure is. 1662 01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:57,040 Speaker 1: There is some variance in that as well. Steve all 1663 01:36:57,120 --> 01:37:01,240 Speaker 1: right buck, I've historically only been a podcast downloader, which 1664 01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:03,679 Speaker 1: gives me the convenience to listen when I have breaks 1665 01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:07,559 Speaker 1: in my day. Recently, I've been tuning into Channel two 1666 01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:10,519 Speaker 1: forty eight, the first on Pluto TV, and letting it 1667 01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:12,719 Speaker 1: run on my center monit while I'm working. Very happy 1668 01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:17,240 Speaker 1: with this option. Side note, you recently praised the movie Tombstone, 1669 01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:19,640 Speaker 1: and you were one hundred percent spot on. It's the 1670 01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:22,960 Speaker 1: best modern Western ever made and my number one favorite 1671 01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:27,760 Speaker 1: movie of all time. Shields, I have a great day, Steve. Well, Steve, 1672 01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:31,000 Speaker 1: thank you, my man. Tombstone is It's a great, highly 1673 01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:34,519 Speaker 1: highly watchable movie. My brothers and I have sometimes argue 1674 01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:36,080 Speaker 1: this little bit because at least one of my brothers 1675 01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:38,720 Speaker 1: doesn't like the scene where Kurt Russell walks out in 1676 01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:42,240 Speaker 1: the river and goes no, no, do you don't talk 1677 01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:49,120 Speaker 1: about Mark. You haven't seen Tombstone. Oh my god, Team, 1678 01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:52,519 Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta light producer Mark up on this one. 1679 01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:56,120 Speaker 1: That's just that's just, that's just madness. That's just unacceptable. 1680 01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:57,840 Speaker 1: He has to watch Tombstone. You would actually like it. 1681 01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:00,599 Speaker 1: By the way, we're not giving you annoying homework. It's 1682 01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:05,120 Speaker 1: a really really good movie. But yeah, that that scene 1683 01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:07,320 Speaker 1: didn't really like all that much. I thought it was great. 1684 01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:12,040 Speaker 1: I think it's Valcomer's best work. Someone wrote, don't read 1685 01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:14,759 Speaker 1: this on air, so I won't, but I'll read it later. Karen, 1686 01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:23,840 Speaker 1: uh okay, send me a link. Chris, Oh, here we go. 1687 01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:30,560 Speaker 1: Remember your comments on air regarding the betto gun reform proposal. 1688 01:38:31,320 --> 01:38:34,200 Speaker 1: You're wrong, Bet it was right. Firearm deaths close to 1689 01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:37,040 Speaker 1: forty thousand and not close to fifteen thousand. No, Chris, 1690 01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:40,479 Speaker 1: you're not very you're not listening, sir. Firearm deaths. I'm 1691 01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:45,160 Speaker 1: not including suicides in gun violence. Suicides are different than 1692 01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:48,240 Speaker 1: people being shot because they're in the wrong place at 1693 01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:50,360 Speaker 1: the wrong time, or from gangs or from murders or whatever. 1694 01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:53,760 Speaker 1: That's just a distance. That's because if somebody wants to 1695 01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:55,400 Speaker 1: commit suicide, there are a lot of ways to do 1696 01:38:55,520 --> 01:38:57,920 Speaker 1: it that you know don't involve a gun. So by 1697 01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:02,639 Speaker 1: conflating all gun violence, suicides and gun violence together, it's 1698 01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:08,839 Speaker 1: just meant to inflate the statistics. So yeah, Chris, pay attention. 1699 01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:11,080 Speaker 1: Try try to think a little more. Try, try to 1700 01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:14,080 Speaker 1: do a little more work on that one. Let's see, 1701 01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,160 Speaker 1: Jen right finally looked up what Pluto was after you 1702 01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:22,040 Speaker 1: kept mentioning it very cool. Well, Jen, thank you. I 1703 01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:28,280 Speaker 1: think it's very cool too, So yeah, I like it. 1704 01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:33,960 Speaker 1: Andrew Buck, last night you compared your someone compared your 1705 01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:39,760 Speaker 1: Warren impression to Taoilli from South Park. You mispronounced the 1706 01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:41,240 Speaker 1: name and I had to start running through characters in 1707 01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:44,960 Speaker 1: my head. This is compared to your Warren impersonation. After 1708 01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:48,080 Speaker 1: I thought through about four I realized it was Taoilei, 1709 01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:51,479 Speaker 1: a pot smoking towel who's only worried when he can 1710 01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:53,519 Speaker 1: get high and famously asked the kids, if they want 1711 01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:56,519 Speaker 1: to get high, ask producer Mark to pull a clip 1712 01:39:56,600 --> 01:40:00,240 Speaker 1: of TAALII and then do Warren do war in the 1713 01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:02,160 Speaker 1: same thing? And I guess we can see the similarities. 1714 01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:05,000 Speaker 1: Although Tally has a better grip on reality. You know 1715 01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:07,479 Speaker 1: what we're talking about here with Tally. Now that he 1716 01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:11,640 Speaker 1: described the character, I kind of think I do. But 1717 01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:13,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of terrible stuff in south Park. So 1718 01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:16,519 Speaker 1: there's some of the characters. Yeah, I mean, I've got 1719 01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:18,400 Speaker 1: to say terrible in a good way. I mean, yeah, 1720 01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:21,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. Uh. I like some of the south 1721 01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:23,080 Speaker 1: Park stuff that I've seen. I just can't watch that 1722 01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:25,000 Speaker 1: much of a cartoon. I just kind of I kind 1723 01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:27,479 Speaker 1: of tune out cartoons after a while. But some of 1724 01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:29,000 Speaker 1: the stuff is brilliant and I do need to watch. 1725 01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:33,040 Speaker 1: Apparently they went after China legitimately went after China in 1726 01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:35,040 Speaker 1: a recent episode where they play a clip they did, 1727 01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:38,400 Speaker 1: do you have it? I had it? We might, I 1728 01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:40,360 Speaker 1: don't know. We might have played I wasn't here, you 1729 01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:43,599 Speaker 1: are here? Uh? Banned in China before it got banned 1730 01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:45,479 Speaker 1: in China. That's pretty cool. That's what they did. They 1731 01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:47,760 Speaker 1: named the episode banned in China, I think, and then 1732 01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:51,040 Speaker 1: it actually got banned in They also did Muhammed in 1733 01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:56,800 Speaker 1: a bear costume, which I gotta say, that's uh yep, 1734 01:40:57,240 --> 01:41:00,519 Speaker 1: they are a comedians not afraid to not afking one angry, 1735 01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:05,360 Speaker 1: not afraid. Mohammed in a bear costume was a thing 1736 01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:08,320 Speaker 1: that they did, and I give them, I give them credit. 1737 01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:12,360 Speaker 1: There we go, Greg right, spucks. Sorry, I don't know 1738 01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:14,040 Speaker 1: how else to get to you. On Tuesday Night Show, 1739 01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:16,320 Speaker 1: you mentioned a south Park character's name is Tally. Okay, 1740 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,080 Speaker 1: we a lot of stuff on the south Park character Chally. 1741 01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:25,000 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. H Cindy writes Tucker Tonight Guests, saying, 1742 01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:29,160 Speaker 1: of course Hillary's entering the race. You rock as usual. Well, 1743 01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:30,880 Speaker 1: thank you, Cindy. I've been saying for a long time, 1744 01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:33,519 Speaker 1: I thought Hillary, you know, I've I've been somebody said 1745 01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:35,840 Speaker 1: just wait, just wait, I think she might. I think 1746 01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:38,360 Speaker 1: she might. So we'll see if I'm right on that one. 1747 01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:41,920 Speaker 1: Because I tend to be which is one of the 1748 01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:45,200 Speaker 1: fun parts about being me, tending tending to be right, 1749 01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:48,000 Speaker 1: although producer Mark would tell you except when I disagree 1750 01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:49,680 Speaker 1: with him. So I guess it's good that he's here 1751 01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:56,639 Speaker 1: because that means that occasionally, allegedly I'm incorrect. Let's see, Um, 1752 01:41:57,360 --> 01:42:00,639 Speaker 1: where did it go? I think I think we lost it. Well, 1753 01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:02,439 Speaker 1: you know what I'll do. I'll pull up because we 1754 01:42:02,560 --> 01:42:04,160 Speaker 1: only got a couple of minutes left here. I want 1755 01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:07,640 Speaker 1: to pull up some of the of the emails. If 1756 01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:11,880 Speaker 1: I can, which would be easier to do if Nope, 1757 01:42:11,920 --> 01:42:14,760 Speaker 1: I lied. Sorry guys, the computer. So this is one 1758 01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:16,439 Speaker 1: of my great frustrations when you do a lot of 1759 01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,880 Speaker 1: show is if you're reliant on technology, sometimes these things 1760 01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:25,080 Speaker 1: will just crap out on you. And this is one 1761 01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:29,000 Speaker 1: of those moments because my computer froze. Brian, it unfroze. 1762 01:42:29,479 --> 01:42:34,840 Speaker 1: Hey Buck shields Hige. Great. One thing, though, be nice 1763 01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:37,680 Speaker 1: to truckers.

We work our tails off and 1765 01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:42,680 Speaker 1: get nothing but grief. Brian, I love truckers. I was 1766 01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:44,600 Speaker 1: trying to give like a high five and some some 1767 01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:46,639 Speaker 1: love to truckers. I was not trying there in any 1768 01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:50,400 Speaker 1: way impugne what is a very important and very honorable profession, sir. 1769 01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:52,960 Speaker 1: So if that was anyway, if that any way came across, 1770 01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:55,800 Speaker 1: I apologize. I was just trying to joke around. But 1771 01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just saying I would have if I 1772 01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:00,840 Speaker 1: were going to pull along haul trip of any kind, 1773 01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:02,719 Speaker 1: I would have to drink a lot of caffeine because 1774 01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:03,960 Speaker 1: I have to drink a lot of caffeine and just 1775 01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:07,040 Speaker 1: do the show.

Rich Another perspective on the 1778 01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:20,160 Speaker 1: term lynching drowning out his Trump's tweet is that the 1779 01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:22,920 Speaker 1: press would not have covered that tweet and its broader 1780 01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:28,320 Speaker 1: message without the offensive word. In effect, he baits the hook, 1781 01:43:29,680 --> 01:43:35,559 Speaker 1: M Richard, I think your analysis here is creative. I'm 1782 01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:38,479 Speaker 1: not sure so, I mean that you're thinking outside the box. 1783 01:43:39,040 --> 01:43:42,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if I could really agree with the assessment, though, 1784 01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:47,200 Speaker 1: because in my estimation, everything else in that tweet was 1785 01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:50,360 Speaker 1: really lost. They only reported on lynching. You didn't hear 1786 01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:52,880 Speaker 1: about what he said before the lynching. Yes, you could 1787 01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:54,280 Speaker 1: make the case, and I think you would make the 1788 01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:57,400 Speaker 1: case that because you have to include the full text 1789 01:43:57,520 --> 01:44:00,240 Speaker 1: of the tweet, you're not gonna usually exert the tweet. 1790 01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:03,400 Speaker 1: Maybe that meant that more people saw it, but Trump 1791 01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:06,200 Speaker 1: is People already see Trump's tweets all all over the place. 1792 01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:12,679 Speaker 1: So here you have it. Lloyd writes, buck MIT's Twitter 1793 01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:18,439 Speaker 1: handle in English is delightful Peter go figure shields high. 1794 01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:21,559 Speaker 1: Is that repeat? I mean Pierre's obviously Pierre is obviously Peter. 1795 01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:27,000 Speaker 1: But delecto. Is that really? Is it delightful? I mean 1796 01:44:27,080 --> 01:44:30,200 Speaker 1: maybe I guess that could be the case. I don't know. 1797 01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:34,000 Speaker 1: Mitt Romney Man, I've disappointed. I really I was pretty 1798 01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:36,320 Speaker 1: pro mit back in twenty twelve.
