1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The Democrats are circling

2
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: the wagons around banning the use of spying as a

3
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: term to describe spying. We'll talk about how that factors

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: into the whole Trump Russia collusion delusion. And also some

5
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: big indictments today, including Julian Assan, who is going to

6
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: get looks like extradited to the US. And there's another

7
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: big prosecution we'll tell you about. But you got to

8
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: stay for the show. That's all coming up. Buck Sexton remission,

9
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: no mistake, American, You're a great American. Again. This is

11
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show for CIA analysts. I can speak

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: for three hours without a phone call. Try doing that

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: some No, you think you're turning down on yesterday, there

14
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: was spying into your campaign? I kind of yes, I am.

15
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: I think what he said was absolutely true. There was

16
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: absolutely spying into my campaign. I'll go a step further

17
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: in my opinion, it was illegal spying, unprecedented spying, and

18
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: something that should never be allowed to happen in our

19
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: country again. And I think his answer was actually a

20
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: very accurate one. Welcome to the Buck Saxton show, Trump

21
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: laying it down. There is there any doubt? Of course

22
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: there was spying. Of course, that's what the people in

23
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: the deep State and Christopher Steele and the you know,

24
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: that's what it is. That's what happened. Are we really

25
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: going to argue about this? Apparently we are the media's

26
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: are you can't You can't say that, you know. It

27
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: was one thing when they were being crazy about this before,

28
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: but we have known now for then they were just lying.

29
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: But at least it was there was a plausible deniability,

30
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: like maybe they because we didn't yet have the facts.

31
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: We didn't know about the FISA, we didn't know about

32
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: the human sources, we didn't know about all the different

33
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: tools of the federal government used to spy on American

34
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: citizens tied to President Trump and to use the efforts

35
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: to spy on those Americans tied to Trump as the

36
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: basis of this narrative that Trump is a Russian spy himself.

37
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: What's happened here is that just the Attorney general who

38
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: who you know, Bill Barr, who has real gravitas and

39
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing and knows this game and knows

40
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: what the Democrats are trying to pull here is just

41
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: calling it what it is, and they're all freaking out.

42
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: You know. They they were lying to us back in

43
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: the day about how there was no spying, and now

44
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: they're trying to just lie to our faces when we

45
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: know there was fine. But here's what they used to

46
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: sound like. Play seven. There is no evidence to support

47
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: any allegation that the FBI or any intelligence agency placed

48
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: a spy in the Trump campaign. Is baseless claims of spies.

49
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: It's so called spy issue. First of all, there's absolutely

50
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: no evidence there was a spy, So it's really a

51
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: fake issue. This this phony bologny story about a spy

52
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: in the campaign. To call them a conspiracy theory is

53
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: to give them too much credit, just fake facts. All

54
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: the other people who've seen the intelligence in your own

55
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: party are saying, there's just no there there. I'm wondering

56
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: what it will take for you, Congressman Zalden to say

57
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: he's full of it. What is it going to take

58
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: for CNN Aaron Burnett there and others to say, oh, sorry,

59
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: are bad, we were wrong, wrong, wrong, Well they were lying, lying, lying,

60
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: Actually there weren't just wrong. I think a lot of

61
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: them knew I'm certainly Adam Schiff knew. He's on the

62
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: House Intelligence Committee. These are people that have clearances. They

63
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: knew speaking of people with clearances who were lying people

64
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: at the very highest level of the intelligence community. Someone

65
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: explained to me, Grumble Grumble Clapper aka James James Clapper,

66
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: how he's supposed to be able to get away with

67
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: saying stuff like this? Still play eight? But is the

68
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: FBI spying on Trump's campaign? No, they were not. They

69
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: were spying on a term I don't particularly like, but

70
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: on what the Russians were doing, trying to understand were

71
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: the Russians infiltrating, trying to gain access, trying to gain

72
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: leverage and influence? So why doesn't like what they do?

73
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: So why doesn't he like that? He should be happy?

74
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: Though bold? Why doesn't he like that he should be

75
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: happy with what they did try to keep the Russians

76
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: out of the campaign? Does anyone believe this is anyone

77
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: that's other than joy Behar Is anyone that's stupid to

78
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: think that that's what was going on here? If if

79
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: they were doing this for the benefit of the Trump campaign,

80
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't they have told the Trump campaign that there were

81
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: efforts at Russian penetration and asset cultivation within the Trump campaign.

82
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: They explicitly did not do that. No, instead, they found

83
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: the on the flimsiest pretext possible. I mean, to go

84
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: after Carter Page and George Papadopoulos. Remember those were names

85
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: that eighteen months ago people were saying they were traders.

86
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: People were saying they sold out their country. And now

87
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: that we know what really happened, these guys didn't do anything.

88
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they're a little a little out

89
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: of their depth, maybe a little clownish, but no ill intent.

90
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: They're not unpatriotic, They're they're not doing anything wrong to

91
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: a I mean, what a terrible thing to say about somebody.

92
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, being called a trader by people who really

93
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: mean a trader when you are not in the least,

94
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: when you're a patriot and have done nothing wrong. You know,

95
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: it's like being called a you know, a rapist or

96
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: a murderer or a molester. I mean, it's a terribly

97
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: damaging thing, one of the worst things you can be called.

98
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: And it was said about them all the time, and

99
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: even people like Maria Bouccina, who was a Russian national

100
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: that was initially smeared by the press as being a

101
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: honey trap because of a joke that she made over

102
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: text message of somebody saying that she was trading sex

103
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: for access. Total lie. Do you think the press ever

104
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: really apologized for that. No, of course not. She was Russian,

105
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: so she was really scary. And also so what if

106
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: her reputation and life maybe were ruined by the media's recklessness.

107
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: You know, the mainstream media and their feverish pursuit of

108
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: the Russia collusion delusion took the attitude of you know,

109
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: if you've got to break a lot of eggs to

110
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: make an omelet of bs, go for it. That's what

111
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: they did. Now they're saying there was no spying. I mean,

112
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: what's next. They never wanted to get Trump in the

113
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: first place. Oh, that's what's gonna be interesting. They're gonna

114
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: try to rewrite the history. It's gonna happen. You're gonna

115
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: hear people say this. It was never really about Russia

116
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Trump collusion. It was just about looking into obstruction of

117
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: justice and also the Russian interference in the election. They're

118
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: going to try to exercise that whole The president of

119
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: the United States is a Russian asset. Was working for

120
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: the Kremlin doing Putin's bidding. This completely insane stuff that

121
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: was being said all the time. There were people who

122
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: were being called Russian agents in the Trump administration that

123
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: you could you would have to struggle hard to find

124
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: something to say in public on MSNBC or CNN that

125
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: was more on its face moronic, but it was being

126
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: said by people who take themselves very seriously are paid

127
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: for their opinions and expertise. James Clapper on the Views View,

128
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: where are the really important conversations happened with Joy pay Huh?

129
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: You know? The View is a place where you'd think

130
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: that James Ever might let his hair down a little bit. No, No,

131
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: not trying to be funny with that, because I know,

132
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: you know Clapper, I'm not he He's follicularly challenged whatever.

133
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: That's not what I was going for. But Clapper saying

134
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: that there was no spying by the FBI, How could

135
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: he say this? And now you start to get into

136
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: what did they know and when did they know it?

137
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: It is I worked in the intelligence community. I sat

138
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: in on meetings with and briefed the people who are

139
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: the very very top all the way for the president.

140
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: But you know, the DNI, the CIA director, I've I've

141
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: run briefings for them, I've been of the room with them.

142
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something right now, there is absolutely

143
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: no way that there could have been anybody under surveillance

144
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: in the Trump administration orbit without the Director of National

145
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: Intelligence James Clapper knowing it. It's just it's just not feasible.

146
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: We know that there was spying. Now we should start

147
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: to look back from the spying and say who knew

148
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: about this when it was happening, who signed off on this,

149
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: What was their explanation for this at the time. What

150
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: we're going to find out, by the way, and this

151
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: is the real terror from the Democrats and they're going

152
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: to try to do everything that can cover this up,

153
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: was that the dossier was about eighty percent of the

154
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: justification for all of us that a foreign national paid

155
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: by the DNC to go collect rumors, unsourced rumors from

156
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: Russian subsources, put them in a raw intelligence document, private

157
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: intelligence document, not government and just spew all this stuff

158
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: onto a page, not analyze or verify any of it,

159
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: and then you can take that and use that for

160
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: the top of the spying apparatus of the United States government.

161
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: Against a presidential campaign. This is crazy. What has happened

162
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: here is crazy. This is the amount Vesuvius eruption of

163
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: political scandals. And meanwhile, you know, all the villagers around

164
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: us are burning and their houses are on fire, and

165
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: the Democrats are like, what's the big deal, what's the

166
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: big deal. We're beyond guessing about whether they were spying. Now,

167
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: it's how far did it go? Who signed off on it,

168
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: Did they break the law or were they just unethical?

169
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham gets it played four. There's no doubt they

170
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: were spying on Trump's people in campaign. The question was

171
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: it lawful? The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act allows you to

172
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: follow around people you think are working with a foreign government.

173
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: Counterintelligence investigation, by very definition, is surveilling people that you

174
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: think are spying. So the question was it lawful? If

175
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: the warrant was based on the dicier, that wasn't lawful.

176
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know why they did not tell Trump

177
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: about people on his campaign working NATA Russia if they

178
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: really believe that their stories, the Democrats, the leftist media,

179
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: and one part of this that I'm really hoping we

180
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: get to is speaking of collusion, the degree of collusion

181
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:18,359
Speaker 1: between the so called serious journos of places like CNN

182
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: and you know, other other news outlets that say they're

183
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: just doing journalism the way that they worked hand in

184
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: glove with not just former intelligence agency officials, but the

185
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: former chiefs most recent chiefs of the intelligence agencies who

186
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: would have been working specifically on the very issue of

187
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: Russia Trump collusion while they were in office, and then

188
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: using those allegations, laundering them through the press to give

189
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: them the veneer of credibility. How much of that happened?

190
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: You know? How many conversations did say Clapper and Jake Tapper?

191
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: Clapper and Tapper sounds like a really bad cop buddy comedy.

192
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: How much did they talk about this? How is it

193
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: that CNN managed to break the story of the briefing

194
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: of the dossier by Comey to Trump right after it happened. Oh,

195
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: that's right, because they needed somebody to create a news

196
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: item out of something that was unsourced. And then BuzzFeed,

197
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: which we know from the conversations between the very conversation

198
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: between BuzzFeed editor in chief Ben Smith and none other

199
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: than fake Jake Tapper that they wanted to report on

200
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: the existence of the dossier without letting people see the dossier.

201
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: That was the game, That was what it was going

202
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: to be. Then BuzzFeed let the cat out of the bag.

203
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: So they're BuzzFeed cats, cat videos. Let the cat out

204
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: of the bag, and we all got to see that

205
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: this document was completely ridiculous. James Comey sat down with

206
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: the President the United States and said, you should know

207
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: that this is out there. I mean, this is the

208
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: equivalent of the FBI director sitting down with the President

209
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: United States and saying, hey, you see all these comments

210
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: from internet trolls that are on this post about you.

211
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: Some of them are saying some pretty crazy stuff. We

212
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: thought you should see this. What these people are supposed

213
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: to be professionals. They're supposed to be neutral purveyors of

214
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: sensitive information so that the government can make the best

215
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: decisions possible. And what we had here were a bunch

216
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: of clowns, partisan clowns, blinded by their own egos and

217
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: political allegiances, and a media that was just up to

218
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: its neck in advocacy for Hillary and doing everything they

219
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: could to take down and destroy the president. And it

220
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: went so far as to be a conspiracy to weaponize

221
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: the intelligence apparatus of the United States government against a

222
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: presidential campaign in an election year, and we've had no

223
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: accountability for this, really whatsoever, yet, no real reckoning. The

224
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: reason they don't want people to use the term spying

225
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: is because it will start to sink in the Obama administration,

226
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: his appointees and oh, speaking of when did he know

227
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: and what did he know? You're gonna tell me that

228
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: Obama didn't know about this. That's an unserious position. So

229
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: Obama's appointees, with Obama knowing at least some of what

230
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: was going on, and not calling this into question, we're

231
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: spying on a presidential campaign. And then once they couldn't

232
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: get their way and find what they thought they would find,

233
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: they decided to cover their tracks by concocting a story

234
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: of obstruction and then doing everything they could to fill

235
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: the air waves and fill the newsrooms with all these

236
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: rumors about these nefarious plots with Putin and Trump and

237
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: doing his bidding, and this was all propaganda. It was

238
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: just a giant web of lies. You cannot trust these

239
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: people anymore. If you ever did, please stop believing them.

240
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: They made traffic in fact sometimes, but it's only so

241
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: that they can piggyback the propaganda. On top of it,

242
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: there was spying. Do not let them gas light you

243
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: do not let them pretend that it didn't happen. It happened.

244
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: They spied on the Trump campaign. They threw everything they

245
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: could at President Trump to take him down. He came

246
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: out on top. But that's not enough. Now we've got

247
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: to find out what they did in detail. The American

248
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: people need to know, and we need to know before

249
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: we vote on the next presidential election. And I think

250
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: Bill Barr is going to get us there. The Democrats,

251
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: the reckoning is coming. We'll be right back. He is

252
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: the opposite of Sessions, who has been who was recused.

253
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: He's embedded. He is completely immersed now with the Trump team.

254
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: He shouldn't have been confirmed. Once he was confirmed, he

255
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: should have accused himself. He has no business being on

256
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: this case. I won't accept anything about this investigation until

257
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: we hear from Bomba. I mean, the Democrats weren't going

258
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: to be happy no matter who Trump appointed the attorney

259
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: general role, because if you have an adult in that

260
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: role who refuses to go along with the left wing

261
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: game anymore. Here of oh yeah, all this Russia collusion stuff.

262
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: This was on the up and up. This seemed legit.

263
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: If you don't say that, if you're not part of

264
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: the part of the team, so to speak, team take

265
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: down Trump, they're gonna have a problem with you. That's

266
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: where we are. This is why all the Democrats are.

267
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: They're attacking far As though you know, it's his fault

268
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: that there was no Russia collusion. It's Bar's fault that

269
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: Mueller didn't bring obstruction or collusion charges. Did not say

270
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: that there should be those charges conspiracy not collusion. But

271
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, this is all they've got. Now,

272
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: go after the guy who is doing everything he can

273
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: to respect the process. But the cardinal sin here, the

274
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: thing that they will refuse to forgive is that Bar

275
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: won't back down from obvious objective reality, which is that

276
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: there was spying. Of course, there was spying. There are

277
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: a whole New York Times articles referring to the FISA

278
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: stuff as spying. You know, when it benefited the left

279
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: to make this thing seem as nefarious as possible. Lots

280
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: of stories about carter Page spying for the Russians, spying

281
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: on carter Page to see if he was spying for

282
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: the Russians. George Papadopoulos, maybe tied to Wiki leaks, maybe

283
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: involved with Russian spies. Who knows all that was used

284
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: all the time. Now that there's nothing that they can

285
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: point to to justify all this, they oh, spying, Well,

286
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: that wasn't spying. It was It was more like a

287
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: check in using the most sophisticated intelligence collection apparatus in

288
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: the world and doing so as an end ron on

289
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: any Fourth Amendment protection in the name of national security. Yeah,

290
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: it's called spying. Use the spy word, folks. Do not

291
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: let them try to push you off this because it

292
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: conveys the gravity and the seriousness of what happened here,

293
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: which is that the Democrats tried a soft coup against

294
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: the president of the United States. That's what they did.

295
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: You cannot trust these people. You should not listen to

296
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: these people, but you should watch them very closely, because

297
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: here's a promise. If we don't hold them accountable for this,

298
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: they would try this again. That may just say, how

299
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: very very dismaying and disappointing that the chief law enforcement

300
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: officer of our country is going off the rails yesterday

301
00:18:53,680 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: and today. He is Attorney General of the United States

302
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: of America, not the attorney general of Donald Trump. Not

303
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: even really true what she's saying there. I mean, the

304
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: a journey general works for the president. So but yes,

305
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: he is first and foremost was to work for the

306
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: American people, and that's what he's doing. This is the

307
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: This is the way that the Democrat panic manifests itself.

308
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: This is a straight up exercise in controlling the narrative.

309
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: There was spying. There's no serious argument otherwise. It is

310
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: very clear that what's happening here is Democrats trying to

311
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: normalize or dismiss this by saying, oh, don't don't use

312
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: that word, don't use the S word, the spying word.

313
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 1: How is how is bar going off the rails? You know?

314
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: In what way? Has there been any violation of the

315
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: trust put in Bar? Or just has there been a

316
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: violation of common sense? Nadler and Pelosi are are spewing

317
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: this garbage, and these people are a joke, an absolute joke.

318
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 1: But unfortunate they've got a lot of power and the

319
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: media is backing them up on this stuff. Play clip three.

320
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: Republican conspiracy theory nonsense, It says, show games. Look at

321
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: this imaginary conspiracy versus the fact that the Russians interfered

322
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: with our elections. I'm very concerned about the statements made

323
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: by the Attorney General Barr. I think that they undermine

324
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: our constitution, they undermine the role of the Attorney General.

325
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't trust Bar. I trust Muller. Okay, oh, okay,

326
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: she doesn't trust bar, she trust Muller. Muller is part

327
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: of the redaction team going through the report right now.

328
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: Mueller has not objected to anything that Barr has done.

329
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: Muller is involved in all of this. But I mean,

330
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is she looks she's just she has no

331
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: ethical core whatsoever, just so we'll say whatever she has

332
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: to say that benefits her side. She'll say anything, She'll

333
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: say anything. And that guy Nadler saying, look at this

334
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: imaginary conspiracy versus the fact that the Russians interfered in

335
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: our elections. You want to talk about an exaggeration. The

336
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: Russian interference in the election was an eye dropper of

337
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: water into an ocean of media and social media in

338
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen fight, Yeah, did something happen, Sure did

339
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: it matter? No serious person thinks that it mattered. But

340
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: the imaginary conspiracy here is supposed to be the spying.

341
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: The spying is a matter of record, it is a

342
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: matter of fact. We've spent two years waiting for the

343
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: spying to be justified, and now that they cannot justify

344
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: the spying, they're saying it wasn't spying. Oh wow, that's

345
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: quite a walk back, isn't it. That's that's astonishing. And

346
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: they also, i think, have been thrown into a little

347
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: bit of a disarray because unless they get something really

348
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: good on the obstruction, they know, they know that impeachment

349
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: is likely to blow back on them. That it's not

350
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: a politically intelligent thing for them to do, which is

351
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: all they really care about, to pursuit and exercise, the pursuit,

352
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: acquisition and exercise of power. That is, that is the

353
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: the the central soul of the Democrat left. That's all.

354
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: That's the most important thing of all. What they have

355
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: to do to get there. You know what the results

356
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: are once they get it, that's all secondary. They need

357
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: to be in power. They have to be the ones

358
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: who are in charge here. That's what mobilizes them, that's

359
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: what makes them tick, and that's why on impeachment Pelosi

360
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: is now saying, well, maybe we gotta steps back a

361
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: little bit. Maybe we've got to think a little more

362
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: about the long term ramifications here play too. The fact

363
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: is is that this president has engaged in activities that

364
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: are unethical American in terms of taking babies out of

365
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: the arms of their moms, on patriotic, I mean, in

366
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: every way, he is unfit to be president of the

367
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: United States. Does that make it? Is that an impeachable offense? Well,

368
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: it depends on what we see in the report. Depends

369
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: on the report. They're still clinging to this He's unethical, Unamerican, unpatriotical.

370
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: What can Pelosi fill in some specifics here? Is what

371
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: is Unamerican about Donald Trump? I mean, that's a real

372
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: that's a real stretch. I'd like to know what did

373
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: he do that's Unamerican? What did he do that's unpatriotic?

374
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: You know, the previous president Obama, he was the one

375
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: to run around bowing and apologizing and America is really

376
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: not that great. And Michelle Obama saige you never you know,

377
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: for the first time in her adult life, she was

378
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: proud of her country when her husband became the commander

379
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: in chief. What is a what does Trump do that's

380
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: un patriotic? I would like to know what that you know,

381
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: does she just pick word that mean bad? Nancy Pelosi

382
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: finds words that are bad and then just says them

383
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: about Trump in every way he's unfit. I mean that's

384
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: interesting because I think right now he would crush, absolutely

385
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: crush any Democrat who ran against him. Bernie Sanders might

386
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: be able to win one or two states that Hillary lost,

387
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: that's it now, not one of the big ones. And

388
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: that's assuming that the media can run enough cover and

389
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: defense for a socialist, which I don't even I don't

390
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: even know if the media has that kind of juice anymore.

391
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're really in a place to

392
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: shape the narrative so that a democratic socialist can can

393
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: run and win. We're gonna see. I think we're gonna

394
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: find out, because I do think it's gonna be you're

395
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: ask me right now, I think the candidate's gonna be Bernie.

396
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna have some Democrat come out

397
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: of this pack. I think there's a lot of feeling

398
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: out there that it should have been Burnie in twenty sixteen.

399
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: He's raising a lot of money, he's got the name recognition.

400
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: They go back to Biden. There's why why would any

401
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: person vote for Biden over Trump? Because if he's a

402
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: more normal return to politics or something, it does not

403
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: make any sense to me, any sense at all. But

404
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: we'll see Democrats do a lot of things that don't

405
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: make sense to me. It doesn't mean that's not going

406
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: to happen. Oh, team, we have oh so much more

407
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: coming your way. I want to talk to you about

408
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: Medicare for all, Bernie's plan, and some other stuff coming up.

409
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: It's obviously a good question whether you trust Bill Barr

410
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: or not. He was a confirmed unanimously his attorney general

411
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: way back in Bush forty one. He's an honorable man.

412
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: He's not over there trying to cover anything up. He's

413
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: going to send us a Muller report that is as

414
00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: open as possible, and when I say as possible, pretty

415
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 1: confident he's not going to throw innocent people who were

416
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: in charge under the bus and run their reputation or

417
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: reveal classified information. This effort to undermine Bar before this

418
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: report comes out is so transparent, and it's gone into

419
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: overdrive with the Yeah, there was spying debate that we've

420
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: we've been thrown into now, which is not a debate.

421
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: It's just a do you admit reality or not there

422
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: was spying? Do you admit what happened or do you

423
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: not admit what happened? And you look Mitch McConnell, aka

424
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: Cocaine Mitch. Any of you don't know why they call

425
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: him that. You just gotta If you google Cocaine Mitch

426
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: on YouTube or something, or that's not googling, but you'll

427
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: see it'll come up. It was from an ad run

428
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: by an opponent of his. I forget the guy's name

429
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: where he started to claiming Cocaine Mitch and it just

430
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: stuck as a wacko crazy nickname. But but you don't

431
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: mess with Cocaine Mitch. The guy knows what he's doing

432
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: and he understands the game here, which is they're trying

433
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: to do everything that they can to undermine bar in

434
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: this process, who's already been the Attorney general. He has

435
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: all the credentials, all the background to be in this role.

436
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: And what you're seeing is that Democrats have there's no

437
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: good faith here. They they always want their guy or

438
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: their gal in this role because they know that leftists

439
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: will side with leftists and then they'll have the whole

440
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: left wing ecosystem of media and academia and you know,

441
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: the DNC and all the rest of it saying oh no, no,

442
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: that was the right decision. Of course, that was the

443
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: right decision. There was no politics involved there. It don't

444
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: be silly, don't be silly. You know, everything that Barr

445
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: has said is legitimate. Here here's Senator Jerry Moran, who's

446
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: just saying, of course he should look into spine. Of course,

447
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: Bar It's not just that it's a good idea. He

448
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: has a mandate. He has a mandate to look into spine.

449
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: He must know if the government was abusing its power.

450
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: Here play six. Those who are critics of the president,

451
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: those who are perhaps critics of the Attorney general, are

452
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: over emphasizing the word spying. What he was talking about

453
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: was the efforts that commenced this investigation. Were they based

454
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: upon legal authority? And the question is did that occur.

455
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: That's very a very valid request of an attorney general

456
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: to find out what the facts are. It's not even

457
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: a request, it's an obligation. He must find this out.

458
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: He must find this out. Of a note. You know,

459
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: before we second hour, we got some big things. We

460
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: have to get to the Julianus Sane arrest today. Julian

461
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: mbuddy from a couple of years ago. We had a

462
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: long chat. I'll tell you about that. The Julianus Sange arrest.

463
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: Also a Greg Craig got arrested, the White House counsel

464
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: for Obama in the beginning of the first Obama term.

465
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: He's now facing a serious felony indictment. And you know

466
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: they're they're feeding him to the lions. But I'll get

467
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: into why that is. More updates on the border total mass,

468
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: the meeting's lying about it. We'll just we'll get into

469
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: that because we should. We have to. And then the

470
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: latest on Rashida to leave and ilhan Omar. And they're

471
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: the way they're defending themselves when people point out the

472
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: bad or stupid or reckless things that they say, Oh,

473
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: here's a guess it has to do with racism, right.

474
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: That's that's where they take the conversation. But Bernie Sanders

475
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: put it out yesterday his medicure for rule the millionaires.

476
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: The billionaire is gonna pay for it. Mitch McConnell understands

477
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: that is a bad idea. I like I like Mitch

478
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: when he's getting getting feisty, getting a little frisky. I

479
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: like that, Mitch McConnell. And here's what he said about

480
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: Bernie's Medicare for all planned play eleven not as long

481
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: as I'm a jority. Later, it'd ought to be called

482
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,239
Speaker 1: Medicare for none, because, as the setup piece pointed out,

483
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty million Americans would lose the private

484
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: health insurance they many of them negotiated for at work.

485
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: Medicare itself that the current recipients have been pay into

486
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: all these years would be completely drained by adding all

487
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: these additional people. If you want to turn America into

488
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: a socialist country, this is the first step. That coupled,

489
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: of course, with a Green New Deal, which would eliminate

490
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: a whole lot of jobs. I think what we're seeing

491
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: here is full socialism on display, and the democratic primaries

492
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: for president full socialism on display. Absolutely correct. That is

493
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: what is going on here, pushing to get us closer

494
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: and closer to a truly socialist society where you have

495
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: the government making far too many decisions, the government deciding

496
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: who gets what and when, how much wealth you're allowed

497
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: to have, how much of your wealth or your earnings

498
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: goes to somebody else or some government program. And Bernie

499
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: Sanders is saying that he would be willing to use

500
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: this just came out yesterday to get this thing through.

501
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: He's going to use budget reconciliation. This is one place

502
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: where I get very frustrated with the Republicans because Republicans

503
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: still kind of like to play nice. Republicans will say, oh,

504
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: but you know, the Senate, we don't want to we

505
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: don't want to rock the boat too much, and there's

506
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: all this institutions and blah blah, all that stuff. Democrats

507
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: are like, we want this, We're gonna do it. We

508
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: want this. We're going to find a way to get

509
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: around the Senate sixty vote requirement right now and just

510
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: do it with a slim fifty vote majority. So you know,

511
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: people are saying that Senators don't believe that this kind

512
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: of legislation could go through under reconciliation. But you know,

513
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: Sanders doesn't care what's supposed to happen. He just cares

514
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: what he can do. The raw exercise of power is

515
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: all Democrats feel they need to get what they want.

516
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what they trample in the process, it

517
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what previous norms are shattered, and this is

518
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: going to be one of those one of those moments.

519
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: What was the first thing? What Obama had all the

520
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: votes he needed both houses of Congress. What was the

521
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: first thing he did? Healthcare? Because he knew that we'd

522
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: never be able to get rid of it, and that's

523
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: where we are right now, and that it would just

524
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: put us on a pathway to socialize medicine, which is

525
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: exactly where we are. And I was saying this at

526
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: the time along with many, many, many of my conservative

527
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, and we were right, but we were

528
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: told that we were fear mongering, and we were wrong.

529
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: And now we're back here at the moment when we're

530
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: being told that medicare for all is what the Democrat

531
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: Party is going to run on in twenty twenty, that

532
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: they're going to ram it down our throats no matter what,

533
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: that they're going to destroy the private health insurance market.

534
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: You're not going to have private insurers anymore, and you're

535
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna have your healthcare is going to be whatever the

536
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: heck the Democrat controlled statists say at it a Democrat

537
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: controlled state, who are statists say it will be? That's

538
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: going to be your healthcare plan that should be that

539
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: should be troubling. You know, I'm somebody who you know

540
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: I want And this is where I started maybe sound

541
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: a little radically. I want more profit motive and healthcare.

542
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: I want people spending money to give better care and

543
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: better delivery. You know, I want the healthcare providers to

544
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: compete vigorously for your business. You know, last time I

545
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: went to a hospital, it was just such a such

546
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: a lesson, and I waited for must have been in

547
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: the emergency room, must have waited for four or five hours.

548
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: Doctor came in, spent thirty seconds with me, and said, oh,

549
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: I gotta go do something else, and left me again.

550
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: I actually didn't even get seen. I left the hospital

551
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: without getting to see a doctor because I was just

552
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: so drained and frustrated and figured, you know, whatever stomach

553
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: bug I had would just it would pass, and you know,

554
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: I guess I'd be okay and whatever. And I was.

555
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: But it was a rough day. And I waited for

556
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: four or five hours in there, and you know what

557
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: happened after that? They sent me a bill. Who wants

558
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: to guess how much the hospital bill was waiting for

559
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: five hours in an er? You know, the most you know,

560
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: uncomfortable depressing place and madgeble, I mean, you know, short

561
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: of being in like a you know, a in the

562
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: morgue or something. I mean, it's just, you know, it's

563
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people and a lot of pain and

564
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: a lot of suffering, and you know, it's not a

565
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: place you want to spend a lot of time. I'm

566
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: glad there are emergency rooms obviously, but I just it's

567
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: not somewhere you will like to wait around. A lot

568
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: of people are sick. You don't want to get sick.

569
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: My hypochondriac side's coming out. But what do you think

570
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: the bill was for the non provision of services based

571
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: upon the blood pressure and blood pressure reading and weight

572
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: that they took on me when when they first brought

573
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: me in, so they had a nurse take my blood pressure,

574
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: in my weight and oh, in my temperature. What do

575
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: you think the bill was that they've sent me that

576
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to pay out a pocket because it

577
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: comes it was twelve hundred dollars, that's right, twelve hundred

578
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: dollars to not help me, not do anything, not see me.

579
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but that's not good enough. And if I

580
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: don't pay it all they're gonna send collection agency after

581
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: me and all the sudden. You know, that's not good enough.

582
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: Our healthcare should be better than it is. It's not

583
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: going to be better because a bunch of government bureaucrats

584
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: sit on boards and committees and try to come up with,

585
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, cost saving measures because we're blowing the budget out.

586
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: That's what Medicare for all will be. It will be

587
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: a disaster. Your healthcare will get worse, the economy will

588
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: be slowed. There'll be less innovation, less cures, less new medicine.

589
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: This is what the Democrats want, you know, that's just

590
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: take it back to the Soviet Union. Let's just have

591
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: glass factories that make glass that breaks before you can

592
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: get off the assembly line. That's a great idea. That's

593
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: the economic theory they want to apply to our healthcare

594
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: system this country. It's just it's just so idiotic. But

595
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: that the left has lost its mind. Our two coming up.

596
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: Wikilaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like

597
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: a hostile intelligence service, and it's encouraged its followers to

598
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: find jobs at the CIA in order to obtain intelligence.

599
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 1: It's time to all out wikilis for what it really

600
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: is a non state hostile intelligence service, often embedded by

601
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: state actors like Russia. This precedent means that any journalist

602
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: can be extradited for prosecution in the United States for

603
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: having published truthful information about the United States various charges

604
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: involving his role in Russian metaling in our election. He

605
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: should face charges here, without presuming what the outcome will be,

606
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: Justice should come to Julian Assange. Justice, it seems is

607
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: coming to Julian Assange arrested today. The Ecuadorian embassy has

608
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: pushed him out, allowed British police to come in. I

609
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: wonder if they went there, like, excuse me, sir, hello,

610
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: can you please oh no, oh, would you please come

611
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: with us? Oh yes, oh no, no, rito yes. Actually

612
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: the cops from them like a stuff together, a loud

613
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: put out of well, all of a suddenly the cops

614
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: are Scottish. I don't know, We're running all over the place,

615
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: but they've arrested Assange. And now, according to the indictment,

616
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: which we've seen from the Eastern District of Virginia, where

617
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: they often handle espionage related cases or federal government related cases,

618
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: you have a charge of essentially conspiring to hack into

619
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: a computer. Now there's so this is all related to

620
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: the Chelsea Manning situation. This is a Chelsea Manning related

621
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: case and they're not charging him, and this is very notable.

622
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: And I know people have all this passion about Assange,

623
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I have a lot of different feelings

624
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: about what the you know, there's so many layers here.

625
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 1: I can't just give you the Do I think Assange

626
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: is a dirtbag? Yeah? I think he's a dirtbag. Do

627
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: I think that he does the bidding of some people

628
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: in Moscow? Yes, I think that that's probably true. Have

629
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: I seen direct evidence of it yet? No, I have not,

630
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: so I'm open. I'm open to counter arguments to be sure.

631
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: Has he published a lot of information that has had

632
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: a tremendous impact, including on say, the Arab Spring, and yes,

633
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: yes he has. Have I ever seen Julian Assange or

634
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: do I know? Could I point you to Julian Assange

635
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: releasing information that endangered the life of any particular source.

636
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: I can't give you chapter and verse on that, So

637
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: you know, I try to be very honest to the

638
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: facts as they are around this guy. I interviewed Asange

639
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: what now, two years ago at some length on a podcast,

640
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: not on this show, on the Stansbury Investor Hour, which

641
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: to this day I wonder what that did to you know,

642
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: what malwaares on my computer, in my IP system and

643
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: everything else. Because of that, Connecting to one of the

644
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 1: most surveiled men on the planet inside the Ecuadorian Embassy

645
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: using your own personal IP address probably not the wisest

646
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: thing I've ever done, but you know, I wanted to

647
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: talk to the guy, so you know, he's very sanctimonious.

648
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: He does think that he's incredibly important. I do think

649
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: Pam Anderson has been his girlfriend, which is an interesting

650
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: kind of nineties throwback side note, And there's all this

651
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: stuff about his cat too, and how he's kind of

652
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: a dirty, smelly, nasty guy inside the Ecuadorian Embassy. There's

653
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: only so much PlayStation I guess you can do before

654
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: you just start to like let it go and give up.

655
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: You know, I will say, usually as I'm in a

656
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: beard phase these days, Asange's beard, Beard game, Beard game,

657
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: kind of weak. Beard game looked like the guy's been

658
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: sleeping on a park bench, maybe used to get some

659
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: of the beard oil or beard wax whatever going on.

660
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: But you know, I look at that. I look at

661
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: this whole list to get into the substance of this.

662
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: You know, has he endangered a source? Not that I

663
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: not that I could point you too. Does he have

664
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: an ax to grind against the United States? Yeah? I

665
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: think so. Is he doing the work of hostile foreign

666
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: powers with what he's engaged in the past. Yeah. Do

667
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: I think that he really engaged in whistleblowing by getting

668
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: Chelsea Manning to release all that classified information? Well, you know,

669
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: war is messy and bad things happen. I'm not sure

670
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: there was no policy chains that came out of that.

671
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of complain I'm just telling you

672
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of complexity here. You know. You look, conservatives,

673
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: some of your favorite conservatives were having this guy on

674
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: and because as soon as he was involved with the

675
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: release of the DNC emails from Hillary from during the

676
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: Hillary campaign and the Podesta emails, as soon as that

677
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 1: was on the table, now a lot of conservatives like, wow,

678
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: this radical transparency thought can be pretty cool. But the

679
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: moment that people found out about his role in the

680
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: release of classified information through Chelsea Manning, he was a

681
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: trader people. I saw all these people saying he should

682
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: be drone striked and all this stuff. Well, this is

683
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: why there. You know, he's there's a lot of interesting stuff.

684
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: He's a very interesting character, and what he's done raises

685
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. I mean, here's some of and

686
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: a lot of you will disagree with me on this.

687
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that what he did by releasing

688
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: the classified information, I think it was reckless. I don't

689
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: think it had some great effect or impact. But I

690
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: also think that a lot of journalists in this country

691
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: release information that is classified, and that it is reckless

692
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: to do so. And I think they do so often

693
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: out of spite, you know. I think they do so

694
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: because the administration that's in power is one they don't like,

695
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: and they're just looking to create a bad news cycle

696
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: for it. But here's where I start to have some

697
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: conflicting feelings about all this. You know, Julian Assange is

698
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: not an American citizen, So his obligation to protect classified

699
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: US government information, I don't believe that it really exists,

700
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: because I certainly wouldn't want to be held to the

701
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: standard of well, I said something or publish something that

702
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: the Iranian government, let's say, claims is classified and Therefore,

703
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, America to be a good member of the

704
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: international community has to hand me over to Iran. I'm

705
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: not an Iranian citizen. I don't answer to them. Now

706
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: in the case of Assange, because he's an ass maybe

707
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: the Aussies are like, go get him America. They probably are,

708
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: because the Asses are a very good ally. But I

709
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: think that raises some interesting questions, you know, I think

710
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: that that creates an obligation. You know, one of my

711
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: big problems with among many radical Islam is that it expects,

712
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 1: it expects, the expects nonbelievers to obey when it comes

713
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: to things like not showing images of the prophet Muhammad.

714
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: And you know, that's a level beyond what you get

715
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: in most other faith traditions, where nonbelievers have to live

716
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: by the code of those who believe. If you're not

717
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: an American citizen, I do not believe you have any

718
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: obligation to protect American national security information because I would

719
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: not be expected him. I used to work for thus CIA,

720
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: and I would not want to be held to the

721
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 1: standard that I could be handed over to some foreign

722
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: government because I messed with their national security information. Right

723
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: so or now, in my role as a as a

724
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: media person, not really a journalist, but as a person

725
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: who does break stories and does do frontline coverage on

726
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: different issues. I wouldn't want some government to be able

727
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: to demand my extradition. So you know, I know that

728
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: my my Asange analysis for some of you is probably

729
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: unsatisfying in the sense that I'm not always terrible and

730
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: always great. But I would just note a lot of

731
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: the people who today I'm not going to name any names,

732
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 1: a lot of conservatives who today are going to tell

733
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: you this is great, Assange needs to go down, and

734
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: he's a bad guy and all this stuff. They were

735
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: people who not long ago, and I mean a couple

736
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: of years ago, we're saying that Asange was providing a

737
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 1: really necessary service, and they were interviewing him on their shows,

738
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: and so people have gone back and forth on this guy.

739
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: Now with that in mind, the way that this plays

740
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: out with the Democrats, I find fascinating because Democrats are

741
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: angry at this guy, have a beef with this guy

742
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: because of what he did at Hillary, right, it is

743
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: his anti Hillary record. That is why all of a

744
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: sudden you have a lot of Democrats cheering for him

745
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: to get prosecuted in this country. You have Democrats who

746
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: are coming out and celebrating this, and it's because they're

747
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: bitter because of the role that he played in really

748
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: exposing what we already knew was the case, which is

749
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: that the election or the nomination I should say, was

750
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: stolen from Bernie Senters. It was Bernie should have beaten

751
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: Hillary in a fair contest without the Democrat apparatus just

752
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: pushing her forward, and without all the behind the scenes

753
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: collusion between various hillary Bots that we don't even know about,

754
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: I think Bernie would have won. And what Asane did

755
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: was just to really expose that. I mean, there's nothing

756
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: else that anybody particularly remembers about this. I think there

757
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 1: might have been some off about how Chelsea Clinton's a

758
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: brat whoa big surprise, you know. I mean, there's some

759
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: not flattering stuff in there. But the only real bombshell,

760
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: if you could say there was a bombshell, was that

761
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: the Democrat National Committee had already picked the candidate for

762
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. There was no need for a primary.

763
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: It was gonna be Hillary. So Assan showed us that,

764
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: really a sossage, gave us, you know, more of that

765
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: and some proof of that, and people liked it, and

766
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: the Democrats obviously hated it, and the Hillary establishment media

767
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: and national security apparatus types are never going to forgive

768
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: Assange for what he did there. So he's upset both sides,

769
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: and he's done things that both sides either like or hate.

770
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: And obviously his ties to Chelsea Manning makes him a

771
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: sort of progressive hero of some kind. But to undermine

772
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: and this is where you know, my national security background

773
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: and feelings comes into play. I mean, to undermine confidential

774
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: and secret plomacy and discussions, even if you're not naming

775
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: names necessarily, but that's that's really dangerous and counterproductive stuff,

776
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: you see, if you believe and this is where I

777
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: have my My biggest objections to Assange are that he

778
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: I think he does do the bidding of and I

779
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: know this is a phrase that has been polluted by

780
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,479
Speaker 1: Democrats saying Trump does this, but I really do believe

781
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: that Assange does the bidding of the Russians, and so

782
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: you know, I have that issue with him. And also

783
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: I think America is overall and on balance, an incredible

784
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: force for good in the world, and for people to

785
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: try and unfairly target just America for embarrassment for the

786
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: sake of just embarrassing it. That I got, I've got

787
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: a problem with that. I haven't an issue with that

788
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: that there needs to be able to be I mean

789
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the Wiki leaks cables, a vast majority

790
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: of it was like, okay, doing what we do, fighting

791
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: a war, having diplomacy behind the scenes. Yeah, you've got

792
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: to deal with some unsavory care chacters in the world

793
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: of diplomacy. Welcome to the world. I think that in

794
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, what we saw in the wiki

795
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: leagues cables, which you know, I remember people who had

796
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: clearances are being told don't look at the wiki leagues

797
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: cables online. I was like, so, the people who are

798
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: legally allowed to see this stuff and their actual jobs

799
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't look at it on the internet. That was That

800
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: was a weird one. But you know the reality of

801
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: Assange is that you always are picking a side, folks,

802
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: and this is what's true of journalism as well. You're

803
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: always picking a side, and I think I think Assange

804
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: often sides with the bad guys. So I have an

805
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: issue with that. As to the specifics of the of

806
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: the charges here, you know, they're going after them on

807
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: on essentially conspiracy to hack because they don't want to

808
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: make it about publishing secrets. Why because our own journalists

809
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: published secrets in this country, and the DOJ has a

810
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 1: policy but a law. There is no statute that protects

811
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: the New York Times, There is no statute that protects

812
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: the Washington Post from criminal penalty for publishing classified information.

813
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 1: We just don't do it. We don't force some First

814
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: Amendment standoff with them by threatening that or by taking action.

815
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: Although the Obama administration came very close listing James Rose

816
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: in a Fox News as a co conspirator in an

817
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: espionage case. And you know, the Obama administration was horrific

818
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: on press freedom, which they now pretend, Oh no, we

819
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: shtood up to Obama Police, a bunch of whimps in

820
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. As you know, they did stand to

821
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,439
Speaker 1: Obama worth of dam But they're going on this conspiracy

822
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: to hack into a government computer charge because that's one

823
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: pretty easy to prove and two not specifically about the publishing.

824
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: So they've just decided that they're going to get this guy.

825
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I people are blaming the Trump administration

826
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: for this. I think that there are a lot of

827
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: Hillary people who are still in the government apparatus, who

828
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: maybe Trump's you know, Trump's people have to sign often,

829
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: and I get it, but I think a lot of

830
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: the Hillary people want to see this guy go down too.

831
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: I think this has turned into the political establishment in

832
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: DC wants to finally get a sage and you know,

833
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna put him away for five years in a

834
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: federal federal prison. You know, see how he likes that,

835
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 1: and they're going to turn him into a free speech

836
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 1: martyr in the process. I would just note that's what

837
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna take from this. So

838
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: scummy guy had an impact. A lot more to talk

839
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: about here, but we'll continue to follow it. I'll be

840
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: right back. Well, they finally got one. They finally federal

841
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: government decided to take action against a Democrat for false

842
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 1: statements and for failure to register as a foreign agent

843
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: and all the rest of it. Greg Craig, who is

844
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: formerly White House counsel for President Barack Obama in his

845
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: first year, was indicted earlier today. At a lot of

846
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: big indictments lately, Anadi indictment, Julia Sans indictment, Greg Craig indictment,

847
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: but two counts of making false and misleading statements to investigators,

848
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 1: including Special Counsel Robert Muller's team. And this is because,

849
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 1: guess what, with all the Russia Russia Russia collusion nonsense,

850
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 1: all the stuff you hear, it turns out that there

851
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: are Democrats who were involved with Ukrainian oligarchs and trying

852
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: to do shady overseas political dealings and all the rest

853
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: of it. Greg craig was working on behalf of Russia

854
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: backed former President of Ukraine Victor Jennakovich. Oh, you mean

855
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: that people who are politically connected in DC, that swamp creatures,

856
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: will just go where the money is and they'll be

857
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: unethical in the process. But it's not about trying to

858
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: overturn in an election or do Putin's bidding. They'll just

859
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: they're just guns for hire, They're just political mercenaries. You

860
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 1: mean that this isn't actually a Republican or Trump specific thing. Oh,

861
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. And he concealed material facts and

862
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,720
Speaker 1: made false statements to Muller and the DOJ National Security

863
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: Division about the Foreign Agents Registration Act. So this is

864
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 1: tied to a Farah prosecution, but it's not technically Farah

865
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: it's lying about Farah. And this guy was writing some

866
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: kind of essentially a study, publishing a document and was

867
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: saying that he only got was a report, saying that

868
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: he only got twelve thousand dollars for it, when his

869
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: law firm has actually paid millions. Scadden received four million

870
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: dollars for his services under this, not twelve not twelve thousand,

871
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 1: four million. That's a big difference, very big difference. This

872
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: just this shows you a few things. One is that

873
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, swamp creatures going to swamp. People that have

874
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,919
Speaker 1: access and can trade on that access for money tend

875
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: to do so. And this is no different. People that

876
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: want to make a lot of money and are unscrupulous

877
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: will go work overseas and try to you know, hide it.

878
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: And in this case, he was hiding it because the

879
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: report was meant to provide cover for Yanikovich in the

880
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: international community. So it was better if it didn't look

881
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: like Greg Craig was totally paid off to put forward

882
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: this report, right, So it was a credibility issue. So

883
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: on top of just the lying about the funds and

884
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: lying about this, they just were this this guy was

885
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: paying to sell his credibility. Craig, who was Obama's White

886
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: House counsel. That's right. Oh, there are people tied to

887
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: Obama who are shady and do bad things. Yeah, of

888
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: course there are. Um and uh, you know, this is

889
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: this is one of these times where you see that,

890
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, people can be corrupted for money. But then

891
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: I got one other frustration, and this is just for me.

892
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 1: You know, they're all gonna say, now, oh see, they'll

893
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 1: they'll prosecute democrats too. Ah. Sorry, this is a sacrificial

894
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: lamb case here. This is putting. This is putting a

895
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 1: guy you know, in the cross areas who's not looking

896
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: at that much time, whose conduct was pretty egregious for

897
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: what it was, and Tie It's just like it's just

898
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: what Manafort did, same kind of stuff, except minus the

899
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: tax violations. I'm not going to believe that we have,

900
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, an equal justice system for Democrats and Republicans

901
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: in politically high profile cases until Andy McCabe and some

902
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 1: others a DJ and FBI get prosecuted, until Andy McCabe

903
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: gets prosecuted for lying under oath. Sorry, this doesn't cut

904
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: it for me. This is just this is just trying

905
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: to do a distraction move. For the most part, has

906
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: returned a thirty six count indictment against a turning Michael Abanati.

907
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: This indictment is now the operative charging document in the case.

908
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: The indictment substantially broadens the criminal conduct that was charged

909
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: in the criminal complaint that was unsealed on March twenty fifth.

910
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: The charges now being alleged against mister Abnati can be

911
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: broken down into four general categories. First, wire fraud related

912
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 1: to the theft of millions of dollars from five clients.

913
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: Second tax fraud including failing to file income tax returns

914
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: for himself and his law firm, Third bank fraud, and

915
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: fourth bankruptcy fraud. Michael Avenati is having a bad day.

916
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: That's very clear. This guy is facing now thirty six

917
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: count indictment and these are the kind of charges you know.

918
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: I know Abanati thinks he's a clever guy, thinks that

919
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 1: he's going to appeal to public sentiment and the fact

920
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: that he's a Trump fighter, you know, that was that

921
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,280
Speaker 1: was his big appeal before. Oh he's willing to stand

922
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 1: with the porn star and be the creepy poorn lawyer

923
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: that he was. But it was bad for Trump. So

924
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: not only did Democrats not ask any tough questions about him.

925
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: They elevated him. They pretend like it's not just like

926
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: they pretend that there was no spying when we all

927
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: know there were spying in the Trump campaign. This is

928
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: this is not up for debate. This is not up

929
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 1: for discussion. They pretend now, Democrats in the left like

930
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: there weren't real discussions, and I know there were because

931
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm here in the swamp and I talked to Democrats

932
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: a lot. There were discussions about whether Avenati was going

933
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: to be a dark horse political candidate for the presidency

934
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: for the Democrats in twenty twenty. That was real that

935
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: they want to tell you now that it wasn't there.

936
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: We never would have done that. Yeah, right, it was real.

937
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: That's just now that this guy has been exposed as

938
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: just the worst, slimiest, most disgraceful. I mean, producer Mike

939
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: is telling me that it was on the cover of Politico. Yeah, man,

940
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: Politico has on our heads right on the front cover

941
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: that he was going to be in the twenty twenty candidate.

942
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: So they were all in on him. This is this

943
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 1: is astonishing, This is astonishing. You know, the Politico would

944
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: take the position that this guy based on what, by

945
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 1: the way, because he says mean things about Trump and

946
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,959
Speaker 1: and and don't don't let them say, oh, it's only

947
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 1: because of what's happened now, we could they couldn't have

948
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: known that Michael Avanatti was so scummy. And that's really

949
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 1: the word for he's scummy. Sky's an unethical, nasty, you know, vindictive,

950
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: ambulance chaser, that's who this is. And the Democrats were like, yeah,

951
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 1: let's make him our champion. What does this tell you

952
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 1: about them? Mother? For all they're talking about old Trump

953
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: is so immoral and we don't like Trump because he

954
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 1: doesn't use the nice language, and that's but then they

955
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: want to stand behind Michael Avonati or even have a

956
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: conversation about this guy as though he's someone that should

957
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: be taken seriously really on any matter. It's appalling. I mean,

958
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: the stupidity here is hard to overstate. But they went

959
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: for it. They they were they were all about Avenati

960
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: and you know, trying to find some way to elevate

961
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: him at Trump's expense. It was it should have been

962
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: known that he wasn't anyone to put any stock in

963
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: because he was the guy. You gotta remember, it's not

964
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: just a Stormy Daniels thing. Avanati represented Sweatnick, Julie Sweatnick,

965
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: the third accuser against Brett Kavanaugh now Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh, thankfully,

966
00:57:55,320 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: and Sweatnick's allegations were so transparently and obviously false and

967
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: preposterous that any ethical lawyer would have would have refused

968
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: to take that and write out a sworn statement and

969
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: take that public. But Avenati's not ethical, not an ethical

970
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: guy obviously. Oh what is the extent of his corruption?

971
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: I mean, how much of a scummy individual is he?

972
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: This is from the indictment today as well, play clip twenty.

973
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: Mister Avanati conducted committed wire fraud in relation to funds

974
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: more than twelve million dollars in total, that he received

975
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:43,439
Speaker 1: and held in trust on behalf of his clients. While

976
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: mister Avanatti was entitled to attorney's feast for the settlements

977
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: he negotiated, the indictment alleges that he nevertheless stole millions

978
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: of dollars that rightfully belonged to his clients. There are

979
00:58:56,120 --> 00:59:00,439
Speaker 1: five separate client victims in four cases in which money

980
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: was stolen, including a paraplegic man who agreed to a

981
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: multimillion dollars settlement, but has received only a fraction of

982
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 1: the money, despite the fact that mister Avenatti received the

983
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: full settlement amount over four years ago. That's right, everybody.

984
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 1: Michael Avenatti, one time Democrat hopeful for the presidency, the

985
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: great anti Trump champion of the looney progressive Left, was

986
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: stealing money from a paraplegic client of his as his lawyer.

987
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: Avenati was robbing the guy in a wheelchair that he

988
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: was supposed to represent and has a sacred legal duty

989
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: to protect and assist. Nope, just stole the money. Just

990
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: just stole the money from him. And are these are counts,

991
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: by the way, These are the kinds of allegations where

992
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: it either is or it isn't. You know, we're talking about,

993
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, failure to file income taxes and uh and

994
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, stealing and money laundering and why or fraud

995
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: and all these different things. That's the kind of stuff

996
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: that gets you in a whole lot of trouble. And

997
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: they either have the records or they don't. I'm sure

998
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: Abnadi's gonna come up with, you know, some version of

999
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: the of the uh, the kind of OJ defense here

1000
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, they're just getting me because it

1001
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the case. But they're just

1002
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: going after me because of Trump. You know, that's what

1003
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna say. You know, just like with oj was,

1004
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I killed two people. But you know, racism,

1005
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: Avanadi is gonna be I I stole from a guy

1006
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: in a wheelchair who was my client. But Trump, I

1007
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna be enough. I don't think that's

1008
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: gonna work for this guy. But as fast as you

1009
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: can see, Democrats pretend like nothing ever happened, you know,

1010
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: pretend like Michael Avenati was not. I mean, and not

1011
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: just in the political system, but the media, as though

1012
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: the media hadn't already with the Russia collusion nonsense, covered

1013
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: itself in an absolute just intellectual bile. I mean, just

1014
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: the media has ruined itself in a way that I'm

1015
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: hoping it will never recover from just over Russia. But

1016
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: they put this guy Abanati on TV. I mean there

1017
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: was a time when Michael when CNN was the Avenati channel,

1018
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he was on there it felt like ten

1019
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: times a day, all because they were just wanting to

1020
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: have somebody who was going to talk about how disgusting

1021
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was, how terrible he was and how he

1022
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: slept with a porn star. And let's just talk more

1023
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: about the porn star and Donald Trump's sleeping with the

1024
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: porn star. That's all it was. We're supposed to treat

1025
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: these places as as legitimate news organizations and news organizations. Now,

1026
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 1: now you can tell me, Buck, that was a real story. Okay,

1027
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't that biggest story. Wasn't that interesting? And more

1028
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: than that, maybe they should have asked some questions about

1029
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: this guy who obviously has very sketchy relationships with his

1030
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: clients and has a history now that he's going to

1031
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: have to explain well before a hopefully a federal federal jury.

1032
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: That's where this is all heading. But this guy was

1033
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:20,439
Speaker 1: a hero of the resistance. And you know, you see

1034
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: this with a lot of these resistance heroes, whether it's

1035
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 1: that guy Schneiderman up in New York who is a

1036
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: left wing me too anti Trump resistance here, Oh he's

1037
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: actually a woman abuser and a scum. You know, you

1038
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,439
Speaker 1: see this. You saw this with Anthony Wiener. Oh, big

1039
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,919
Speaker 1: firebrand leftist type, love to go on TV and mix

1040
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: it up and try to bash conservatives and fight with

1041
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: the right, and oh it turns out that you know,

1042
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: he's chasing around teenage girls and sending you know, elicit

1043
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: lewed photos to them, and now as a convicted sex offender. Right,

1044
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: But he was on MSNBC all the time. They loved putting,

1045
01:02:56,040 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: they'd loved putting the Wiener on MSNBC. And now you've

1046
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: got Avannati, who, granted it is not guilty of that

1047
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: kind of conduct or thing that is in that realm,

1048
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: but the kind of unethical behavior talking about here, I mean,

1049
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: rip off your clients as a lawyer, doesn't get much

1050
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: worse than that. So we'll see what ends up happening.

1051
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: I know he's claiming that he's going to beat this.

1052
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's going to be the case. I

1053
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to represent have ANADI. I'll tell you that much.

1054
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: By any measure, four thousand arrest in a day, one

1055
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: hundred thousand in a month, that's the population of the

1056
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: city of Albany, New York. That suddenly shows up on

1057
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: our southern border in one month is a crisis. And

1058
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 1: it's a crisis because it overwhelms our border patrol and

1059
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: our immigration officials ability to deal with it. And it's

1060
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: a crisis because you have to absorb that population somehow

1061
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: into southern border towns, and so it overwhelms the humanitarian

1062
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: effort on our southern border, it overwhelms our DHS personnel,

1063
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 1: and frankly, it all emanates from the crisis that's been

1064
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: going on for some time in Central America. Oh there's

1065
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: a crisis. Huh. That's j Johnson, Obama's former DHS secretary,

1066
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: a guy very, very respected on the left, and he's saying,

1067
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: looked by any measure, there's a crisis. Wait, but we

1068
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: were told what last month, month before that, no crisis,

1069
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: there's no crisis. What purpose Let's really think about this

1070
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: for a moment. What purpose is the media is supposed

1071
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: to serve? According to the media, right, not the real

1072
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: purpose that they serve is pushing a left wing agenda

1073
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: and trying to enrich themselves and grow their power and influence.

1074
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 1: And I'll do it under this guise of quote journalism.

1075
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: But what what are they saying that they do? Oh,

1076
01:04:55,600 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: that's right. They provide the necessary information to the public

1077
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: for us to understand what's going on in our country

1078
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 1: and in our world and become more informed and therefore

1079
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 1: better citizens. Of this they would say democracy. Many of

1080
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: you would correct them and say republic. But you know

1081
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 1: what I mean, right, They give us the necessary information

1082
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 1: to be involved and educated citizens there, and that should

1083
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: that should filter all the way up to our elected representatives.

1084
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: That's what they say. So how is it that they

1085
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: could get this so wrong? How is it possible that

1086
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: in good faith they could miss something by this much?

1087
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 1: Last twenty four hours you have headlines like this for

1088
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: the New York Times, the US immigration system may have

1089
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: reached a breaking point? How did we go from reach

1090
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: a breaking point now? And you know, you go back

1091
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: in time and it was, oh, no, only people, the

1092
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: only people who are worried about this are are bad

1093
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: people who don't want Central Americans here and because they're mean,

1094
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: they're heartless, they want to just separate children and etc. Etc.

1095
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: You know Vox today where you know they just I

1096
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 1: don't know how they managed to get so many bitter

1097
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: beta mails working for one organization, but Vox does a

1098
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: great job of it. Border the migration crisis and the

1099
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: Trump administration's response explained they had a piece just a

1100
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 1: few hours ago. So it's a crisis. Everyone now says

1101
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 1: it's a crisis. Why did it take them all this

1102
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: time to get to this point. Well, I'll tell you this,

1103
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 1: I think that not only were they denying the reality

1104
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: of it because they didn't want it to be true.

1105
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: I think that for some of these newsrooms, for some

1106
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: of these organizations and publications, they wanted to give more

1107
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 1: time for to reach this critical mass because now the

1108
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: storyline that they're pushing isn't oh my gosh, what's going

1109
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: on here? What are we going to do to fix

1110
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: this and stop this? It's well, we're totally overwhelmed. So

1111
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: we're just gonna have to just bring in more and

1112
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: more and more. We can't stop this now. Now now

1113
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: it's our you know, the horses have already left the

1114
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, the barn doors were opened. The horses have

1115
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 1: already run out, so to speak. I messed up that metaphor,

1116
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 1: or you get what I'm saying. They it's already done.

1117
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 1: It's a fat accompla. So we might as well just

1118
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: accelerate this process and bring an even more just allow

1119
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: a mass migration from Central America into this country under

1120
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: with illegal crossings happening every day and under false pretenses.

1121
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: It is a false pretense that all these families showing

1122
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: up the border are fleeing violence in their home countries.

1123
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: That is a lie. It's a lie because the violence

1124
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: under asylum systems that we're trying to deal with is

1125
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: violence that a specifically target against people because of either

1126
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: their ethnicity, their religion, or their political opposition to the state.

1127
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: It's not I live in a country where there's violence.

1128
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: I live in Washington, d C. Am I an asylum

1129
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: seeker if I want to go to Canada because there

1130
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: are parts of DC that are violent. My part of

1131
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: DC isn't that violent, but there are parts of DC

1132
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: where there are shootings and stabbings and bad things happen.

1133
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: So can I say, do I get to go claim

1134
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 1: a silent you know, forget Canada. Can I claim a

1135
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: silent Monaco? Because I live in America and there's violence

1136
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,720
Speaker 1: in America. Now, I know you're probably thinking, Buck, this

1137
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 1: is absurd, but that's exactly right. It is absurd. The

1138
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: positions that are being taken here by the left, by

1139
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: the Democrats and their media lackeys, are absurd. They're just

1140
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 1: simply not intellectually defensible, and yet here we are the

1141
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 1: other thing that they're doing. And this just drives me

1142
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 1: just this drives me insane. This is all about racism

1143
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: for them. That's that's what the argument turns into. You

1144
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:54,480
Speaker 1: don't want mass illegal immigration into this country in violation

1145
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: of laws that Democrats aren't changing either, would I would

1146
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: note you know, Democrats won't vote for open borders. They

1147
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: just want open borders. And if you try to stand

1148
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: against this and speak about what's really going on, this

1149
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 1: is what they say. They say about you. What they

1150
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 1: say about Stephen Miller, the president's senior advisor, who is

1151
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: an immigration architect of sorts, architect of immigration policy. Here's

1152
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 1: what the media says about him. Play thirteen. We have

1153
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,600
Speaker 1: a white nationalist president who's a threat to American democracy.

1154
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: It's the language of white nationalist European splinterer, hard right

1155
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:36,799
Speaker 1: crazy town parties, and we haven't heard in our politics

1156
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: in a long time. It's going to be Stephen Miller,

1157
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: and his sort of white nationalist tendencies are really obvious.

1158
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: He can't even dress that up. Stephen Miller, immigration hardliner,

1159
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: immigration hardliner, Stephen Miller, the dark lord of antimmigration, Stephen Miller.

1160
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a stretch for a lot of

1161
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 1: Americans out there to wonder whether or not the president

1162
01:09:55,200 --> 01:10:00,560
Speaker 1: is secretly considering himself a white nationalist. That was the

1163
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: senior White House correspondent for CNN saying he thinks the

1164
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 1: president secretly is a white nationalist. Just for anybody who

1165
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: says do they can't call us fake news. That's still unfair. No,

1166
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: they are fake news. CNN's a joke. Maybe it won't

1167
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: always be, maybe it'll get its bearings and start to

1168
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: be a news organization again. Now CNN is a propaganda

1169
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: organ of the Democratic Party full stop. But all that stuff,

1170
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: they said, they're white nationalist. Trump's a white nationalist. Steve

1171
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: Miller's a white nationalist. This is how the left. This

1172
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:33,599
Speaker 1: is how the left debates. You know, they won't get

1173
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:35,600
Speaker 1: into the substance on this because what they're doing is

1174
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,760
Speaker 1: they're they're allowing the country to slowly dissolve. Our sovereignty

1175
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: is eroding every day. That's just reality. But they don't

1176
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: want to face that. So what they do is say, oh, well,

1177
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: if you have a problem with this, you're you're a

1178
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: white nationalist. You're a bad person. That's what they tell you.

1179
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot allowed to it, a lot you can

1180
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 1: get away with in debate if you have no ethics

1181
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 1: and no no real argument to make, and unfortunately that's

1182
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: what we face when we're arguing with lives. I know

1183
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: that there's something else that has been on your mind

1184
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 1: and on a lot of folks minds, and that is

1185
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: some comments and some backlash now to Congresswoman Elon Omar,

1186
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: after some comments surface this week in which and I

1187
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: want to play it, she said something about the nine

1188
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 1: to eleven attacks. I want to talk about your reaction

1189
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: to the backlash and your reaction to the comment in

1190
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:24,799
Speaker 1: two pieces. So here's that remark. Congresswoman Care was founded

1191
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 1: after nine eleven because they recognize that some people did

1192
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 1: something and that all of us were starting to lose

1193
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 1: access to our civil liberties. And it's that phrase people

1194
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 1: did something that is being picked up on by some

1195
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:44,680
Speaker 1: of the congresswoman's critics, including for example, the cover of

1196
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: the New York Post, which I will ask you about

1197
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: in a second, But on these remarks themselves, some people

1198
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,600
Speaker 1: did something as a reference to nine to eleven, do

1199
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: you think she should have rethought her words? Do you

1200
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: worry about the appropriateness of that? They do this all

1201
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 1: the time to us, especially women of color, they do that,

1202
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: they take our words out of context because they're afraid

1203
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: because we speak truth, we speak truths of power. My

1204
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 1: sister Lahan Omar, she was she was talking about was

1205
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: uplifting people. Okay, so you've heard it. That's enough of

1206
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: the looney the looney bin over at MSNBC there. But

1207
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: I just wanted to give the uh, you know, give

1208
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 1: the context of this. That was Rashida to leave another

1209
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: one of these new members of the Democrat majority House

1210
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: of Representatives who has some ideas that are that are

1211
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: problematic when it comes to well when it comes to

1212
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: Israel specifically, but a whole lot of things. And she

1213
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,679
Speaker 1: went on to say that it was a pure racist

1214
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 1: act to call out Ilhan Omar for and they played

1215
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 1: the audio there too, so you got to hear for yourself.

1216
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: You know, you know, some people did something with nine

1217
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: to eleven um. That's you know, let's let's just put

1218
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: it this way. I understand you can make this case

1219
01:12:58,080 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 1: that oh well, she was trying to just move past

1220
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: it quickly and not get bogged down too that. You know,

1221
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 1: there's there are ways you could try to explain away

1222
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 1: any bad comments. But you know, if we were talking

1223
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: about World War two and we were talking about the

1224
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: Holocaust and someone said, yeah, okay, so you know, some

1225
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 1: people did some very bad thing or she didn't even

1226
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 1: say that. If you just said some people did some

1227
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 1: things in the death camps, people would rightly look at

1228
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 1: you like you were nuts. You know, what do you

1229
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 1: mean some people did something in the death camps? Like

1230
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:29,600
Speaker 1: some it was one of the worst atrocities in the

1231
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 1: history of humanity? What why would you refer to that

1232
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: as some people did something? And as a native New

1233
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 1: Yorker and an American and a human being to refer

1234
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: to the murder of nearly three thousand people over the

1235
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: course of an hour or so, including many of them

1236
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 1: burned alive, jumping out of buildings to escape the flames,

1237
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,960
Speaker 1: crushed in debris, terrified to refer to that as some

1238
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 1: people did something. Yeah, you're gonna get hit for that.

1239
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna get hit for that. Omar, you're good to

1240
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,759
Speaker 1: get hit for that. Talib people are going to rightly

1241
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 1: get upset at that, because it's a very disrespectful way

1242
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:12,639
Speaker 1: to talk about an event that changed many lives. Changed

1243
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: my life, changed the lives of a lot of you.

1244
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: Listening to this who served in the military or served

1245
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 1: in the government trying to track down those pieces of

1246
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: you know what, who attacked us on that day. So

1247
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 1: it was a big deal. It was a big It

1248
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 1: wasn't some people did something. But you know, this is

1249
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: the victim mentality. Oh omar At talking about CARE and look,

1250
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 1: CARE are often terror apologists. They are let's just say

1251
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 1: what it is. CARE the Council and Arab Islam or

1252
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 1: American Islamic relations rather is often downplaying terror and does

1253
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: this whole whiny Oh, but the real threat is Islamophobia

1254
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 1: all the time. You know. The real threat is that

1255
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 1: people are going to think that Islam isn't a religion

1256
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 1: of peace. Well, that's a whole other conversation. I do

1257
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 1: not respect CARE as an organization. I do not think that.

1258
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 1: And don't even get me started with some of the

1259
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:07,720
Speaker 1: other connections that it's had in the past. Will be

1260
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: here all night. But for her to just sort to

1261
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: dismiss nine to eleven and say, the real problem is

1262
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: that people looked at some individuals wearing hit jobs in

1263
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 1: the months after nine to eleven a little bit strangely,

1264
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's not a problem, but it's nowhere

1265
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:27,679
Speaker 1: near in the same stratosphere of problem as three thousand Americans,

1266
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: including a lot of Muslims by the way, killed on

1267
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:32,679
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. I think that's a much, much bigger deal.

1268
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 1: But what's the go to. What does the progressive left

1269
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 1: do when cornered with their own foolishness. Well, you know

1270
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 1: what they do. They make it about, Oh it's racist,

1271
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 1: Oh it's it's policing quote women of color, and the

1272
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: way that they speak about these matters, and this is

1273
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:57,920
Speaker 1: the way. There's a whole generation now it's really my

1274
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: contemporaries who are just beginning to you know, start their long,

1275
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure decades long careers in the Congress of these progressive,

1276
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:12,600
Speaker 1: woke social justice warrior types, who don't you know, Pelosi

1277
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: and Biden, you know, they they give lip service to

1278
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 1: all that social justice stuff because it's useful for them,

1279
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 1: but they don't they're not true believers. You know. Joe

1280
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 1: Biden is a white dude who likes to play a

1281
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: lot of golf and you know, puts on this air

1282
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 1: of being a man of the people, but really really

1283
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: likes to spend time around the fancy and the connected.

1284
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: But to leave and Omar and Ocazio Cortez and you know,

1285
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of other young Democrat members of Congress.

1286
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 1: They're true believers in this stuff. I mean they they

1287
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 1: think that social justice, wokeness and intersectionality and the obsession

1288
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,720
Speaker 1: that the left has with the politics of oppression and victimology,

1289
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: that that's not just for them a posture. They really

1290
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: think this stuff is. They think that this is real.

1291
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: They want to fight against it, and they know that

1292
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:07,639
Speaker 1: their most effective weapon is to run around calling everybody racist,

1293
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 1: calling everybody an islamophobe, and just try to use fear

1294
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: instead of argument and persuasion so that no one will

1295
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,639
Speaker 1: stand in their way. And here's to leave talking about

1296
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 1: Trump's travel ban, which people still they still say it's

1297
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: a Muslim ban. It bans something like, population wise, twelve

1298
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 1: percent of the Muslim world. I mean, it's a tiny,

1299
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,600
Speaker 1: tiny fraction, and there are all kinds of loopholes. And

1300
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 1: but here's what she says about that plate twenty two.

1301
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: The fact that even the Muslim band being present, currently

1302
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: in existence, it shows to so many people like somehow,

1303
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: as being of Muslim faith, expressing your freedom of religion

1304
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,120
Speaker 1: in this country, that somehow that you're less than and

1305
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:50,720
Speaker 1: they need to see leadership from Congress members. They say,

1306
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:52,680
Speaker 1: we don't agree with this president, we don't agree with

1307
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 1: this on American policy. And that's what we're doing by

1308
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: introducing this bill and pushing forward and using it to

1309
01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 1: educate American people that this directly this No matter what

1310
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,639
Speaker 1: the courts are saying, I'm telling you, this was intended

1311
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 1: to directly impact people's right to express themselves through other

1312
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 1: faith and in many ways also feel make people feel

1313
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:14,879
Speaker 1: less than because they're Muslim faith. So was it intended

1314
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: to make all the North Korean Muslims, of which there

1315
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 1: are none, feel less than? Or what about the Venezuela

1316
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: and Muslims of which there are some but not very many?

1317
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: Were they were they supposed to feel badly about? What

1318
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 1: about the rest of the people of Venezuela and North Korea?

1319
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 1: Was this an attack on their Islamic nous or lack

1320
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 1: of lack of Islamic credentials. I'm just wondering. I'm just wondering.

1321
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: What about all the Muslim countries that are not included

1322
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 1: in the band? Oh? What about the fact that the

1323
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 1: countries in the band were specifically singled out by the

1324
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: Obama administration as countries that have a particular problem with terrorism?

1325
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 1: Is that what was Obama being islamophobic and racist? Or

1326
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 1: I I just would like some clarity from the left

1327
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 1: on this. I'd them to explain what it is exactly

1328
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: that they're they're referring to when they call it a

1329
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:09,640
Speaker 1: Muslim ban, because it clearly doesn't ban all Muslims. It

1330
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:14,639
Speaker 1: only bans some Muslims. So, and it's based on national origin,

1331
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,760
Speaker 1: not based on religious persuasions. So in fact, if you

1332
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: are an Iranian, an Iranian Christian, or an Iranian Jew,

1333
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 1: you would also be covered by this. Is it something

1334
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 1: we should ignore that many of the most troubled places

1335
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 1: in the world when it comes to political violence and instability,

1336
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: happen to be Muslim majority countries. Are Are we supposed

1337
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: to pretend that's not the case? No, you know, we're

1338
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: supposed to do. We are supposed to let Omar and

1339
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: to Leib and Okazio Cortez just browbeat all the rest

1340
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 1: of us into agreeing to whatever they want politically culturally,

1341
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 1: because to oppose them is to be sexist, racist, bigoted,

1342
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 1: and islamophobic. That's the real plan, that's their pitch and unfortunately,

1343
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,280
Speaker 1: because of the brainwashing of the millennials that are you know,

1344
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: my generation, this stuff works. Alexa. What is the CIA?

1345
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 1: The Central Intelligence Agency, the civilian foreign intelligence service of

1346
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:22,799
Speaker 1: the US government, tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national

1347
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: security information from around the world, primarily through the use

1348
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 1: of human intelligence. Do you work for the CIA, Alexa?

1349
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:38,639
Speaker 1: Do you work for the CIA? No? I'm not employed

1350
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: by them. I'm made by Amazon. Alright, alright, alright, So

1351
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 1: that was one of my That was one of my favorite. Uh,

1352
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: that's one of my favorite Alex Jones moments there, man, Alexa,

1353
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 1: do you work for the CIA? No? I do not

1354
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 1: work for the CIA. So here's here's why I'm bringing

1355
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: this up right now. Other than you know, anytime we

1356
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 1: could talk about mister Jones's greatest hits is entertaining. There

1357
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 1: is reason to be concerned about these open mics that

1358
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 1: people have all over the place. I've been worried about

1359
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 1: this for some time. I have Sirie on my iPhone.

1360
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 1: I turn Siri off. Why would I turn Syria off? Well,

1361
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 1: because for me, the idea that I would have a

1362
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: microphone that is actively monitoring and therefore recording everything that

1363
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: I say, and that that recording device is one in

1364
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:39,640
Speaker 1: trusting that information to a third party, and two already

1365
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: linked up to all of my personal information and data

1366
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:48,640
Speaker 1: and connected to the Internet. That strikes me as a

1367
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 1: little bit terrifying. And this is where we start to

1368
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: see that we do live in a kind of digital panopticon.

1369
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you know what a panopticon,

1370
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: so let me explain that for a second. It's an

1371
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: English philosopher named Jeremy Bentham came up with this idea

1372
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 1: in the eighteenth century of a building where you are

1373
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:15,120
Speaker 1: essentially there's one central guard tower surrounded with all these

1374
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 1: cells that are open. And because the cells are all

1375
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,280
Speaker 1: open and you have no privacy and there's a guard tower,

1376
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 1: everyone will behave because there's you never know if someone's

1377
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: looking at you, right, so you never know when you're

1378
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 1: being watched versus when other people are being watched. So

1379
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 1: therefore you have to assume all the time you're being watched.

1380
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 1: We do live in a kind of digital panopticon. Now, now,

1381
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: I think in many ways that's good for human behavior.

1382
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 1: I think that the enormous increases we've had in safety

1383
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 1: in America for example, are largely attributable to technology, most

1384
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 1: specifically the proliferation of cellular phones and geolocation on those phones,

1385
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: and just the all the tracking and everything that's possible

1386
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 1: as a result of these computers, which is what we

1387
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: are carrying. We are carrying computers around with us all

1388
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 1: the time that are tracking our moves, that are storing

1389
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 1: our communications. But I've never been comfortable with this thing

1390
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: of sirie. You know, when I'm sitting around that I'm

1391
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 1: like talking. I don't know, maybe I'm talking a little

1392
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 1: bit about T. Swift's greatest hits and it's like playing

1393
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:26,839
Speaker 1: Taylor's swift? Are you ready for it? When that happens?

1394
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 1: Not that that has ever happened to me, obviously, Right

1395
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: that happens a producer, Mike, I'm not the T. Swift fan,

1396
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: But when that happens, he's going to punch me for that.

1397
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 1: I just got to say that. You know, you got

1398
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:42,680
Speaker 1: to remember that that information that you're speaking openly all

1399
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 1: the time about is going through an electronic device, and

1400
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:50,600
Speaker 1: there is some analysis of it. Well turns out that

1401
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: it's not just and this is the big story today

1402
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: on Bloomberg. It's not just the algorithms and machine learning

1403
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,720
Speaker 1: that has applied to what you're saying in earshot of

1404
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: your Alexa. The reality is that a lot of what

1405
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: you're saying, or at least a lot of what you're saying,

1406
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 1: could be listen to buy an actual, live human being

1407
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 1: who works for Amazon. That's disconcerting, folks. I would not

1408
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 1: want that to be the case. I think that this

1409
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:24,840
Speaker 1: is where we see the the privacy need should be

1410
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: re established in ways that that are urgent. They have

1411
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:31,560
Speaker 1: this article or they talk about how there are you know,

1412
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 1: there's tens of millions of people around the world who

1413
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 1: use these smart speakers, and they'll say, you know, play

1414
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 1: Kenny G. You know do do do Do Do Do

1415
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 1: do do? Do you know? Kenny G? Right, that sounds

1416
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:45,439
Speaker 1: just like Kenny G. I will have you know, and

1417
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 1: then it comes on and people think they're all cool.

1418
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:51,800
Speaker 1: So when I'm like, hey, Alexa, drop down the Murphy bed,

1419
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 1: turn the lights low, and let the cats stevens Perrum. Yeah,

1420
01:24:56,320 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 1: maybe I look like a smooth operator. Smooth, but that

1421
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 1: means that all the times when I'm talking about other things,

1422
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:09,519
Speaker 1: Alexa is also hearing that. And there are cases now

1423
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 1: of people that work for Amazon, who have heard what

1424
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:15,560
Speaker 1: they think might be a crime in progress, or that

1425
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:17,960
Speaker 1: they might have even heard a sexual assault or a

1426
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 1: child being abused or you know something, and you know,

1427
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: what are the legal ramifications of this? When do they

1428
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 1: take action? How do they know what's really going on?

1429
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: What are the expectations we should have of a company

1430
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 1: that is essentially now Remember, I understand this is not

1431
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:36,839
Speaker 1: Amazon's fault per se, because people are bringing these devices

1432
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:40,200
Speaker 1: into their homes. They know that they're open, open microphones.

1433
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 1: But everyone should be very uncomfortable with the idea of

1434
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 1: an open microphone in their home. I'm uncomfortable enough with

1435
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: the smartphones that we currently have and the fact that

1436
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 1: we know they can be turned on remotely. There was

1437
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: that I think it was in Skype or was it

1438
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: in FaceTime, where there was a way that you could

1439
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 1: conference in people and you could turn on the video

1440
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:04,640
Speaker 1: feature on their phone even if they didn't want it.

1441
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this is all very real, and it's just

1442
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: it's a reminder that there are always going to be

1443
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:14,799
Speaker 1: tradeoffs with technology. Sometimes the tradeoffs are are very minimal

1444
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 1: on the downside, but there's always some kind of a tradeoff.

1445
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: You know, whoever used to make buggy whips. Is pretty

1446
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:22,720
Speaker 1: bummed out now that people are making car engines. But

1447
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 1: when you're talking about the surveillance realm and the self

1448
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 1: surveillance that we are doing now, the people, you know,

1449
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 1: the Founding Fathers, and I like to remind everybody of this,

1450
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:35,839
Speaker 1: the Founding Fathers were concerned about general warrants. A general

1451
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 1: warrant required an actual agent of the British government to

1452
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: go in and look through your stuff and you know,

1453
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: rifle through your papers and your personal effects. And that

1454
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:54,440
Speaker 1: really upset the colonials, right. That got the our forefathers

1455
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 1: in quite a their breaches got into a twist, if

1456
01:26:57,439 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 1: you will. But now what you have, our government agencies

1457
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 1: and government and private agencies as well have far more

1458
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 1: access and information about us than anybody would have thought possible.

1459
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 1: And the Founding Fathers were concerned about the intrusion into

1460
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 1: our private lives when it required an actual human being. Right.

1461
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 1: This is why we have the amendments that we do.

1462
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 1: This is why we have individual protections for individual liberty.

1463
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 1: The ability of the government to intrude into your life

1464
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:32,720
Speaker 1: now is so much magnified from what it was in

1465
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 1: the late in late eighteenth century. And because it's convenience though,

1466
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 1: and because it's associated with what is new and what

1467
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 1: is hip and what is you know, creates wealth, we

1468
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 1: don't always think about the other end of it. So

1469
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you I am not a I love technology,

1470
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm not a luddite, but I am somebody who doesn't

1471
01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 1: want open microphones. I mean, here's a perfect example. Whenever

1472
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm recording at home, I don't leave. Even though I've

1473
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 1: got some devices set up where I can do radio,

1474
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:07,479
Speaker 1: I can connect radio live if I want to from

1475
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 1: my home. The Freedom hut is is sometimes mobile, but

1476
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:15,639
Speaker 1: I always unplugged. I always told the engineers, I want

1477
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 1: to know how to unplug the microphone. So it is

1478
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:22,400
Speaker 1: from an engineering and electricity standpoint, impossible for this mic

1479
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 1: to be on because I don't want to trust that,

1480
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 1: oh the program is off. Oh maybe the program's on now.

1481
01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 1: Now maybe everything I'm doing in my home is being

1482
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 1: recorded on a device. I'm just not okay with it.

1483
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: So this story has been a long time in coming.

1484
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:37,640
Speaker 1: But you know, people should have known this, really, the

1485
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 1: fact that this is collecting and collecting what you say

1486
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 1: all the time and sifting through it algorithmically. If they're

1487
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:46,600
Speaker 1: sifting through it algorithmically, it means that there is some

1488
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:50,679
Speaker 1: digital storage of what you're saying. And if there's digital

1489
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 1: storage of it, then human beings can hear two folks.

1490
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't even want to know how this is being

1491
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 1: applied in some other countries where we have no expected

1492
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: where there is no expectation of privacy, there are no

1493
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 1: First Amendment rights. But perhaps that'll be a conversation for

1494
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 1: another time. Team, Let's talk about a very special day

1495
01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 1: today coming up in just a moment. It's a very

1496
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 1: special day to day, folks. No, I don't have a

1497
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 1: family birthday to give a shout out to, but it's

1498
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:23,680
Speaker 1: not quite as cool as that, so maybe now I'm

1499
01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:29,040
Speaker 1: disappointing you. But it is National Pet Day, which is

1500
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: one of these things where people come up with a

1501
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 1: national day for something. There's like National Banana slug Day,

1502
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:40,559
Speaker 1: National where birkenstocks even though they're outdated since nineteen ninety

1503
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 1: eight day. I mean, there's all kinds of weird days

1504
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 1: that we are supposed to celebrate now, but National Pet

1505
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 1: Day is kind of a fun one because we all

1506
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:50,759
Speaker 1: get to post photos of our little free fluffy fluffy friends,

1507
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean national pet. Now that's assuming I know some

1508
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:55,280
Speaker 1: of you are like Buck. There's a little bit of

1509
01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: pet bigotry going on here with you. Because maybe my

1510
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:01,719
Speaker 1: pet's not fluffy, Maybe it has gales, maybe it has slime,

1511
01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 1: maybe it has fangs and poison that it can inject

1512
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:07,920
Speaker 1: via them. And if the answer to any of those is,

1513
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:10,840
Speaker 1: or if the reality of any of those is that yes,

1514
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:13,680
Speaker 1: that's what you have, I am very curious as to

1515
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 1: some of the decisions you've made up. I always wonder

1516
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:20,880
Speaker 1: why anyone would have a pet tarantula, for example, I

1517
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:24,000
Speaker 1: always remember that from home alone, did terrified ever since

1518
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:26,599
Speaker 1: I would not allow somebody. You know, there are most

1519
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 1: pets that I would allow in my home, even as

1520
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:31,439
Speaker 1: a visitor. Pet tarantula, it's not coming to the house. Sorry,

1521
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 1: not doing it. Tarantulas or the enemy snakes. I also

1522
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 1: hate snakes. I don't understand, and I think that lizard

1523
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:43,840
Speaker 1: brains aren't big enough to form emotional attachments. Some people

1524
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:45,479
Speaker 1: have gotten mad at me. They say my pet turtle

1525
01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 1: was very loving. I don't think you can snuggle a

1526
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 1: turtle ps salmonella. So there's that. But let me talk

1527
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 1: to you about the dogs that I had growing or

1528
01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:57,719
Speaker 1: in my family at least we had a Boston Terrier

1529
01:30:57,920 --> 01:31:01,879
Speaker 1: growing up who was endurable and her name was Dixie.

1530
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:05,320
Speaker 1: Very very cute dog. Boston Terrors to those of you

1531
01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 1: who want a compact dog with a tremendous amount of

1532
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:13,639
Speaker 1: energy and spunk, but really sweet and a great temperament.

1533
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 1: Boston Terrors are really really good. So people that have

1534
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 1: young families in particular, and if you don't have a

1535
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:20,439
Speaker 1: big house in a big yard, I think Boston Terror

1536
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:23,680
Speaker 1: is a great choice. Now my parents, my family up

1537
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:27,520
Speaker 1: in New York. They have a French bulldog named Tulula

1538
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:31,000
Speaker 1: who is very French. One minute she wants to give

1539
01:31:31,040 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 1: you a kiss. Son's a cheek was the tongue because

1540
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 1: she thinks you're also fantastic. The next minute she cannot

1541
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: be found anywhere, actually doesn't want to talk to you.

1542
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 1: She will not respond to your phone callio text message

1543
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 1: because she is French. She's she can be a little

1544
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 1: kois sometimes, so you know, occasionally she wants snuggles and

1545
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 1: then she doesn't want snuggles, and you know then you

1546
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:55,320
Speaker 1: just want those little French bulldogs snuggles all the more.

1547
01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:58,639
Speaker 1: But she's a lot of fun. My older brother has

1548
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 1: a pom Rain and that he now again a small dog.

1549
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 1: But if you live in a city, small dogs make

1550
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. People that have these large dogs,

1551
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you don't want a Rhodesian ridge

1552
01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 1: back if you're living in a four hundred square foot

1553
01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: studio in Murray Hill. I'm just saying, folks, it's not

1554
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 1: a good idea. I see people that do this, and

1555
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:19,600
Speaker 1: I go, you know, you got to think about the

1556
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:22,720
Speaker 1: breed that you're going to be bringing into your home.

1557
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm not bringing up the pit bull thing because I

1558
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 1: know people are so and that's like bringing up vaccines.

1559
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:32,759
Speaker 1: People are very passionate on both sides of that discussion.

1560
01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:35,519
Speaker 1: I've known some lovely pit bulls. I also think that

1561
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:38,800
Speaker 1: animals that are much more powerful and have more powerful jaws,

1562
01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 1: you have a smaller margin for error if they're not.

1563
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:44,439
Speaker 1: You know, someone's Chihuahua is a biter. It's very different

1564
01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:46,720
Speaker 1: than someone's eighty pound pit is a biter. But I

1565
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:48,880
Speaker 1: know people get mad they say pit bulls are wonderful pets.

1566
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:52,200
Speaker 1: I've I've missed. I've you know, I've known pit bulls.

1567
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:55,960
Speaker 1: So and then there's the other thing that I always

1568
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:59,760
Speaker 1: find so interesting about the pet world, and this is

1569
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:01,160
Speaker 1: make me want to get a dog, really about And

1570
01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 1: my dream dog is an English bulldog. No, I want

1571
01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:06,000
Speaker 1: an English bulldog. I'm gonna get one one day. I

1572
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 1: already have ten different names picked out for him or her.

1573
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure which I'm gonna go with. But that

1574
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 1: the for the four legged animals, obviously the most popular dogs,

1575
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:21,280
Speaker 1: then cats. I think that's right, isn't it. Yeah, thirty

1576
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:24,519
Speaker 1: six percent of us households own a dog, thirty percent

1577
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 1: own a cat. Now that's of I think that must

1578
01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 1: be of people that have a pet, thirty per thirty six.

1579
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:34,760
Speaker 1: So basically a third of pet owners have dogs, a

1580
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:36,880
Speaker 1: third of pet owners have cats, and then it's broken

1581
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,800
Speaker 1: down between the rest. But you know what, the John,

1582
01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:42,640
Speaker 1: what's the most popular four legged pet that's not a

1583
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 1: dog or a cat? Hamlin close, very good, guess it's

1584
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 1: actually ferrets. It's actually a ferret. Nope, John, Actually, I'm

1585
01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 1: looking at the stats right now. I lied turns out

1586
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:02,680
Speaker 1: that it's you're right. Look at that job. You're right,

1587
01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 1: it is a hamster. Ferrets are number five on the list,

1588
01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 1: after hamsters and guinea pigs, so I've never ceased to

1589
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:24,759
Speaker 1: impress John amazing stuff. Roll call is up next, Team Buck,

1590
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:31,920
Speaker 1: It's time for roll call. All right, let's get to

1591
01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:34,599
Speaker 1: some roll call. I feel like it's been so long.

1592
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:38,599
Speaker 1: It's been a full twenty four hours since the roll

1593
01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:43,080

1602
01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:14,760
Speaker 1: thoughts Sean Right's afternoon, Buck. I read that Congress is

1603
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:18,439
Speaker 1: thinking of giving themselves a pay raise again. How about

1604
01:35:18,479 --> 01:35:20,599
Speaker 1: the state that represents them have to vote for pay

1605
01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: raises and or reductions? Could you use your swampy connections

1606
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:28,480
Speaker 1: to see if this can really become a reality. Shielty

1607
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:33,479
Speaker 1: Shan an original real news fan Wow real News from

1608
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 1: back in the day. Sean that is going on eight

1609
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 1: years ago. Isn't that pretty astonishing turn of events. Eight

1610
01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:44,920
Speaker 1: years ago was when we or I think that's right,

1611
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 1: launched the Real News Show on the Blaze, and that

1612
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:51,719
Speaker 1: was a great show. I still think that Glennbeck doesn't

1613
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:54,760
Speaker 1: get enough credit to this day for what he did

1614
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 1: for conservative media in this country. He set up a

1615
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:02,800
Speaker 1: place where people like me who had no previous media

1616
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:06,519
Speaker 1: training could go and get world class media training. I mean,

1617
01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:10,599
Speaker 1: have really top executives running a company where you also

1618
01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:13,240
Speaker 1: had a lot of freedom to maneuver, a lot of

1619
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 1: ability to try you try your hand to different things.

1620
01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean when I was the Blaze, I was doing radio,

1621
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:21,640
Speaker 1: I was doing podcast, I was doing writing for the website,

1622
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:26,240
Speaker 1: wrote an ebook, and did TV every day, all different

1623
01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:29,800
Speaker 1: kinds of t panel shows, hosting shows, quick hits as

1624
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:33,160
Speaker 1: a guest. So the Real News was a part of

1625
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:35,640
Speaker 1: that whole effort. And I still think that when you

1626
01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:38,720
Speaker 1: look at who came out of the Blaze, either as

1627
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:42,040
Speaker 1: an employee or I know, the Blaze, people say that

1628
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:43,639
Speaker 1: the Blaze is still round Buck, I know, but it's

1629
01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:46,320
Speaker 1: different now it's merged with CRTV and now it's the

1630
01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:49,439
Speaker 1: Blaze Media. But the original days of the Blaze TV,

1631
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:55,480
Speaker 1: which was GBTV. You had all of your favorite conservatives

1632
01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:57,880
Speaker 1: really aged, not all of them, to say, Buck, what

1633
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 1: about so and so? But a big chunk of your

1634
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:05,439
Speaker 1: favorite conservatives age twenty five to four, maybe now more

1635
01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:09,439
Speaker 1: like thirty to forty. We're all going through the Blaze

1636
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 1: in different ways a different times. So I'm glad that

1637
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:13,080
Speaker 1: some of you have stuck with me all this time.

1638
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 1: TJ writes, Buck, have you looked much into the firing

1639
01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:22,840
Speaker 1: of Palmer Lucky, the Oculus founder from Facebook? Supposedly it

1640
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:25,400
Speaker 1: was performance Base, but there's a lot of evidence to

1641
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 1: suggest otherwise, and in fact was likely because of his

1642
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 1: support for Trump, plus a lot of other shady, possibly

1643
01:37:31,240 --> 01:37:35,360
Speaker 1: illegal stuff by Facebook. Blake Harris is the author of

1644
01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 1: the book The History of the Future that chronicles this story,

1645
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:42,320
Speaker 1: and was on Beck's radio show podcast yesterday talking about it.

1646
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 1: You should see if you can get him on your

1647
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 1: show or on Rising to discuss ps. His book has

1648
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 1: skyrocketed up the bestseller's list since his appearance on Beck's show.

1649
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:57,400
Speaker 1: That's really interesting, TJ. I don't know anything about this,

1650
01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 1: so I'll have to look into a little bit. Oculus, huh.

1651
01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:05,639
Speaker 1: I always think of oculus and confuse it with We're

1652
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:07,439
Speaker 1: not confuse it with But I think of the show

1653
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:13,480
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley where they have the guy who says octopus

1654
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:16,840
Speaker 1: when he means oculus, and he has a whole Yeah,

1655
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:20,960
Speaker 1: he has. There's I can't explain it other than that, David,

1656
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 1: that was a weird anecdote, I know. But if you

1657
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:25,800
Speaker 1: watch Silicon Valley, you're like, I know what he's talking about,

1658
01:38:26,640 --> 01:38:30,840
Speaker 1: David rod Shield's I buck ted Lu's obvious misrepresentation of

1659
01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:34,040
Speaker 1: what Cannis Owens right after he played the clip said

1660
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:36,800
Speaker 1: was jaw dropping. Lou wants people to think that what

1661
01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:40,360
Speaker 1: made Hitler amaniac was the nationalist part of national socialism,

1662
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:44,520
Speaker 1: probably because he knows his own party is currently infested

1663
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:48,400
Speaker 1: with anti Semitic socialists who want global power without borders.

1664
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 1: Sounds familiar, Well, David, I you know, I know that

1665
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:58,000
Speaker 1: the Democrats really do believe because they've been they've been

1666
01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:00,639
Speaker 1: brainwashed into thinking this, and they've been told this by many,

1667
01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:04,800
Speaker 1: many people, that national socialism had nothing to do with socialism.

1668
01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 1: This is where I would tell you to check out

1669
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:09,559
Speaker 1: the book The Nazi War on Cancer, and there are

1670
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:14,520
Speaker 1: there is a lot of a lot of different programs

1671
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:19,120
Speaker 1: put in place by the National Socialists that would now

1672
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 1: you have to put put aside the you know, the racial, genocidal,

1673
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 1: all those components of it for a moment. I'm just

1674
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:30,720
Speaker 1: saying there are other programs within the Nazi state that

1675
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:34,760
Speaker 1: were very clearly socialists. That's why they're called the National Socialists.

1676
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 1: So they can try as much as they want to

1677
01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 1: remove that component. But the Nazi Party, the National Socialists

1678
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:46,439
Speaker 1: were in fact collectivists. They were socialists. They were making

1679
01:39:46,520 --> 01:39:50,639
Speaker 1: war on the Lutheran Church in Germany. They were fighting

1680
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 1: with communists, not because they hate communism so much, but

1681
01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:58,400
Speaker 1: because communists and National Socialists were fighting over the same recruits.

1682
01:39:58,720 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: They're fighting over the same groups of people in the streets,

1683
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:06,439
Speaker 1: so to speak. And that's so they were rivals. They

1684
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 1: were not ideological opposites. That's not the same thing. And

1685
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:16,080
Speaker 1: one of the shortcomings even for devoted, devoted socialists, one

1686
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 1: of the shortcomings of and this is the reason why

1687
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:22,760
Speaker 1: you have the Communist Internationale, and one of the things

1688
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 1: they realized was going to be problematic is that people,

1689
01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:28,080
Speaker 1: even if they have a unifying global ideology, they like

1690
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:32,120
Speaker 1: the idea of belonging to a nation. People think of themselves.

1691
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:33,800
Speaker 1: Sure they want to be socialists, but they want to

1692
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 1: be you know, Dutch socialists and German socialists and Spanish socialists, etc.

1693
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:40,800
Speaker 1: They don't necessarily just want to be part of this

1694
01:40:41,120 --> 01:40:44,840
Speaker 1: world workers movement, because we need a greater sense of

1695
01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 1: identity than that. Karen rights. Some of the new ads,

1696
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:53,160

Speaker 1: wrote in about I'm also a podcast listener and there's

01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:33,920

1731
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:35,679
Speaker 1: gonna try to find a happy medium here. I'm gonna

1732
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 1: talk to my team and see if we can get

1733
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:39,880
Speaker 1: some stuff set up so that we you know, we're

1734
01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:42,880
Speaker 1: in a place now where yeah, we need to have ADS,

1735
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:44,840
Speaker 1: but I want, I obviously want the user experience to

1736
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 1: be optimal. Oh, Bruce, whenever it starts out like this,

1737
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:52,519
Speaker 1: you know, I got trouble. It's not often I disagree

1738
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:55,240
Speaker 1: with you, but I honestly do not believe Mitch McConnell

1739
01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:57,680
Speaker 1: deserves credit for holding off Garland or his support of

1740
01:42:57,760 --> 01:43:00,680
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh. That is simply what he was elected to do,

1741
01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:04,680
Speaker 1: besides do nothing, or the opposite would have been political suicide.

1742
01:43:05,040 --> 01:43:07,599
Speaker 1: Picking Kavanaugh was not one of the present's finest moments.

1743
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:12,639
Speaker 1: There were far more conservative picks just saying, mm, you know, Bruce,

1744
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'll see your disagreement and raise

1745
01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:19,400
Speaker 1: you a disagreement. I think that you know, Mitch McConnell

1746
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:21,559
Speaker 1: has been willing on and I'm not some big Mitch

1747
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:25,840
Speaker 1: McConnell fan bookshexterns are fantastic radio or host, and I

1748
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 1: wanted him to always be the best own radio. I

1749
01:43:29,439 --> 01:43:32,480
Speaker 1: think Mitch McConnell, you know, in some ways, really typifies

1750
01:43:32,520 --> 01:43:36,280
Speaker 1: the Republican establishment and does occasionally have some rhino tendencies

1751
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:39,760
Speaker 1: depends on the topic. But on the issue of conservative judges, man,

1752
01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:44,840
Speaker 1: he's been a beast. He has been getting those nominations through.

1753
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:48,720
Speaker 1: He's he was willing to fight fire with fire and

1754
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:54,080
Speaker 1: refuse to allow Democrats to continue their obstruction. So it's

1755
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:57,000
Speaker 1: all real stuff. They're folks, That's that's all real m.

1756
01:43:57,160 --> 01:43:58,880
Speaker 1: I I mean, look, Bruce, you're entitled to your opinion.

1757
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:00,519
Speaker 1: I'm entitled the mine on this one. And I see

1758
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:02,519
Speaker 1: what you're saying. We just have different standards for what's

1759
01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:05,799
Speaker 1: worthy of applause. Your point is that's what he's supposed

1760
01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 1: to do, So that's the way it should be. And

1761
01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:11,960
Speaker 1: my sense of it is these days, if you're a

1762
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:15,000
Speaker 1: politician and you just meet the bare minimum standard of

1763
01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:16,720
Speaker 1: what we want from you, that puts you in a

1764
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:21,960
Speaker 1: kind of class by yourself. Brian. Hold on a second, Brian,

1765
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:25,400
Speaker 1: here you go, hey, brother, great ran on taxes tonight.

1766
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:26,960
Speaker 1: I gave up trying to figure out a long time

1767
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:28,680
Speaker 1: ago and simply pay a company to do it for

1768
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:31,120
Speaker 1: me and tell me where to sign. That said, My

1769
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:33,160
Speaker 1: wife and I finally purchased a home last year for

1770
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:36,640
Speaker 1: a young family. Congratulations, Brian. Oh, Unfortunately, we had to

1771
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:38,080
Speaker 1: pull from our four O one K to help with

1772
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 1: a down payment. Oh, the irs charge just more than

1773
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:43,200
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars over last year's taxes for it. Just

1774
01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:44,880
Speaker 1: when I think I'm getting out of debt, they pull

1775
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:49,160
Speaker 1: me back in. It's just so gosh darn intentionally confusing

1776
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:52,280
Speaker 1: to retain the ability to get you on anything, praying

1777
01:44:52,400 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 1: for a flat tax on assets. I leave you with

1778
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 1: a quote from Einstein. The hardest thing in the world

1779
01:44:56,200 --> 01:45:01,200
Speaker 1: is to understand income taxes. It's a legit quote. Come on, dude, No, really, no,

1780
01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 1: it's not. No, it's not. That's like Abraham Lincoln says,

1781
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 1: don't believe everything that you hear on the internet. You know,

1782
01:45:07,479 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't buy that one. But Brian, I

1783
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:10,879
Speaker 1: hear you on the taxes man, it's out of control.

1784
01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:16,840
Speaker 1: People need to get a grip and stop allowing for

1785
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 1: us to all get ripped off by the government the

1786
01:45:18,880 --> 01:45:20,840
Speaker 1: way that we do. And look, it's corruption. I mean,

1787
01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:22,680
Speaker 1: that's why the tax code is the way it is

1788
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:26,639
Speaker 1: because of corruption. This is very, very straightforward. Katie writes Buck.

1789
01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:28,800
Speaker 1: I love your passion, Katie. I love your love of

1790
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:32,000
Speaker 1: passion when you're really feeling it. Lately, your voice gets gruff.

1791
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:33,799
Speaker 1: It makes me nervous for anyone next in the studio.

1792
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,040
Speaker 1: But I know you're being real. I was wondering if

1793
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:38,600
Speaker 1: the Chicago pd can sue Smolette for the cost of

1794
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:41,959
Speaker 1: his fraudulent case. Don't I have standing as a taxpayer

1795
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 1: to sue the DNC and just Department for the twenty

1796
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:46,800
Speaker 1: six million dollars spent on the Russian investigation. I want

1797
01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:49,360
Speaker 1: my money back, Katie. I hear you in principle, but

1798
01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:52,720
Speaker 1: your share of the Russian investigation would probably be, you know,

1799
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 1: less than a penny, and same with mine, because there's

1800
01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:56,960
Speaker 1: a lot of his paying taxes. But I hear what

1801
01:45:57,040 --> 01:46:00,240
Speaker 1: you're saying, and I do think that Smolette should be

1802
01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:02,680
Speaker 1: forced to pay back the money that he costs the

1803
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:05,720
Speaker 1: city of Chicago. But I'm I think Smilllette might get

1804
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 1: off totally, totally scott free in this whole thing, which

1805
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:12,080
Speaker 1: is appalling. All right, Team Tomorrow Freestyle Friday, looking forward

1806
01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:14,479
Speaker 1: to it. I'll talk to you then, Shields High
