WEBVTT - Illegal, Unprecedented Spying

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom hunt. The Democrats are circling

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>the wagons around banning the use of spying as a

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>term to describe spying. We'll talk about how that factors

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>into the whole Trump Russia collusion delusion. And also some

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>big indictments today, including Julian Assan, who is going to

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>get looks like extradited to the US. And there's another

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 1>big prosecution we'll tell you about. But you got to

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.919
<v Speaker 1>stay for the show. That's all coming up. Buck Sexton remission,

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:47.919
<v Speaker 1>decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>no mistake, American, You're a great American. Again. This is

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the Buck Sexton Show for CIA analysts. I can speak

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>for three hours without a phone call. Try doing that

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>some No, you think you're turning down on yesterday, there

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>was spying into your campaign? I kind of yes, I am.

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I think what he said was absolutely true. There was

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>absolutely spying into my campaign. I'll go a step further

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, it was illegal spying, unprecedented spying, and

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>something that should never be allowed to happen in our

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>country again. And I think his answer was actually a

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>very accurate one. Welcome to the Buck Saxton show, Trump

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>laying it down. There is there any doubt? Of course

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>there was spying. Of course, that's what the people in

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the deep State and Christopher Steele and the you know,

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>that's what it is. That's what happened. Are we really

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>going to argue about this? Apparently we are the media's

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>are you can't You can't say that, you know. It

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>was one thing when they were being crazy about this before,

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>but we have known now for then they were just lying.

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>But at least it was there was a plausible deniability,

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>like maybe they because we didn't yet have the facts.

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 1>We didn't know about the FISA, we didn't know about

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the human sources, we didn't know about all the different

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>tools of the federal government used to spy on American

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>citizens tied to President Trump and to use the efforts

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to spy on those Americans tied to Trump as the

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>basis of this narrative that Trump is a Russian spy himself.

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>What's happened here is that just the Attorney general who

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>who you know, Bill Barr, who has real gravitas and

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>knows what he's doing and knows this game and knows

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 1>what the Democrats are trying to pull here is just

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>calling it what it is, and they're all freaking out.

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>You know. They they were lying to us back in

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the day about how there was no spying, and now

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to just lie to our faces when we

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>know there was fine. But here's what they used to

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>sound like. Play seven. There is no evidence to support

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>any allegation that the FBI or any intelligence agency placed

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a spy in the Trump campaign. Is baseless claims of spies.

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>It's so called spy issue. First of all, there's absolutely

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.799
<v Speaker 1>no evidence there was a spy, So it's really a

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>fake issue. This this phony bologny story about a spy

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>in the campaign. To call them a conspiracy theory is

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.679
<v Speaker 1>to give them too much credit, just fake facts. All

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>the other people who've seen the intelligence in your own

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>party are saying, there's just no there there. I'm wondering

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>what it will take for you, Congressman Zalden to say

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>he's full of it. What is it going to take

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>for CNN Aaron Burnett there and others to say, oh, sorry,

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>are bad, we were wrong, wrong, wrong, Well they were lying, lying, lying,

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Actually there weren't just wrong. I think a lot of

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>them knew I'm certainly Adam Schiff knew. He's on the

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>House Intelligence Committee. These are people that have clearances. They

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>knew speaking of people with clearances who were lying people

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>at the very highest level of the intelligence community. Someone

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>explained to me, Grumble Grumble Clapper aka James James Clapper,

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 1>how he's supposed to be able to get away with

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>saying stuff like this? Still play eight? But is the

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>FBI spying on Trump's campaign? No, they were not. They

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>were spying on a term I don't particularly like, but

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>on what the Russians were doing, trying to understand were

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 1>the Russians infiltrating, trying to gain access, trying to gain

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>leverage and influence? So why doesn't like what they do?

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>So why doesn't he like that? He should be happy?

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Though bold? Why doesn't he like that he should be

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>happy with what they did try to keep the Russians

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>out of the campaign? Does anyone believe this is anyone

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 1>that's other than joy Behar Is anyone that's stupid to

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>think that that's what was going on here? If if

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>they were doing this for the benefit of the Trump campaign,

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't they have told the Trump campaign that there were

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>efforts at Russian penetration and asset cultivation within the Trump campaign.

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>They explicitly did not do that. No, instead, they found

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the on the flimsiest pretext possible. I mean, to go

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>after Carter Page and George Papadopoulos. Remember those were names

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 1>that eighteen months ago people were saying they were traders.

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:30.600
<v Speaker 1>People were saying they sold out their country. And now

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>that we know what really happened, these guys didn't do anything.

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, they're a little a little out

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>of their depth, maybe a little clownish, but no ill intent.

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>They're not unpatriotic, They're they're not doing anything wrong to

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>a I mean, what a terrible thing to say about somebody.

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, being called a trader by people who really

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>mean a trader when you are not in the least,

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>when you're a patriot and have done nothing wrong. You know,

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>it's like being called a you know, a rapist or

0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:59.840
<v Speaker 1>a murderer or a molester. I mean, it's a terribly

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>damaging thing, one of the worst things you can be called.

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>And it was said about them all the time, and

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 1>even people like Maria Bouccina, who was a Russian national

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>that was initially smeared by the press as being a

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>honey trap because of a joke that she made over

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>text message of somebody saying that she was trading sex

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 1>for access. Total lie. Do you think the press ever

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 1>really apologized for that. No, of course not. She was Russian,

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.159
<v Speaker 1>so she was really scary. And also so what if

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.600
<v Speaker 1>her reputation and life maybe were ruined by the media's recklessness.

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, the mainstream media and their feverish pursuit of

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the Russia collusion delusion took the attitude of you know,

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>if you've got to break a lot of eggs to

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:46.280
<v Speaker 1>make an omelet of bs, go for it. That's what

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 1>they did. Now they're saying there was no spying. I mean,

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 1>what's next. They never wanted to get Trump in the

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>first place. Oh, that's what's gonna be interesting. They're gonna

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>try to rewrite the history. It's gonna happen. You're gonna

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>hear people say this. It was never really about Russia

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump collusion. It was just about looking into obstruction of

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>justice and also the Russian interference in the election. They're

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 1>going to try to exercise that whole The president of

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the United States is a Russian asset. Was working for

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the Kremlin doing Putin's bidding. This completely insane stuff that

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>was being said all the time. There were people who

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>were being called Russian agents in the Trump administration that

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>you could you would have to struggle hard to find

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 1>something to say in public on MSNBC or CNN that

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>was more on its face moronic, but it was being

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>said by people who take themselves very seriously are paid

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>for their opinions and expertise. James Clapper on the Views View,

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>where are the really important conversations happened with Joy pay Huh?

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 1>You know? The View is a place where you'd think

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>that James Ever might let his hair down a little bit. No, No,

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>not trying to be funny with that, because I know,

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you know Clapper, I'm not he He's follicularly challenged whatever.

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 1>That's not what I was going for. But Clapper saying

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>that there was no spying by the FBI, How could

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 1>he say this? And now you start to get into

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>what did they know and when did they know it?

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>It is I worked in the intelligence community. I sat

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 1>in on meetings with and briefed the people who are

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the very very top all the way for the president.

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>But you know, the DNI, the CIA director, I've I've

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 1>run briefings for them, I've been of the room with them.

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you something right now, there is absolutely

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:44.079
<v Speaker 1>no way that there could have been anybody under surveillance

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>in the Trump administration orbit without the Director of National

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Intelligence James Clapper knowing it. It's just it's just not feasible.

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>We know that there was spying. Now we should start

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>to look back from the spying and say who knew

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 1>about this when it was happening, who signed off on this,

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 1>What was their explanation for this at the time. What

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:06.679
<v Speaker 1>we're going to find out, by the way, and this

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 1>is the real terror from the Democrats and they're going

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to try to do everything that can cover this up,

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>was that the dossier was about eighty percent of the

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>justification for all of us that a foreign national paid

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:26.079
<v Speaker 1>by the DNC to go collect rumors, unsourced rumors from

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Russian subsources, put them in a raw intelligence document, private

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>intelligence document, not government and just spew all this stuff

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>onto a page, not analyze or verify any of it,

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and then you can take that and use that for

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the top of the spying apparatus of the United States government.

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Against a presidential campaign. This is crazy. What has happened

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 1>here is crazy. This is the amount Vesuvius eruption of

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:02.560
<v Speaker 1>political scandals. And meanwhile, you know, all the villagers around

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>us are burning and their houses are on fire, and

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats are like, what's the big deal, what's the

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>big deal. We're beyond guessing about whether they were spying. Now,

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.679
<v Speaker 1>it's how far did it go? Who signed off on it,

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Did they break the law or were they just unethical?

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Lindsey Graham gets it played four. There's no doubt they

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>were spying on Trump's people in campaign. The question was

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 1>it lawful? The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act allows you to

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.559
<v Speaker 1>follow around people you think are working with a foreign government.

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Counterintelligence investigation, by very definition, is surveilling people that you

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 1>think are spying. So the question was it lawful? If

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the warrant was based on the dicier, that wasn't lawful.

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know why they did not tell Trump

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.439
<v Speaker 1>about people on his campaign working NATA Russia if they

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>really believe that their stories, the Democrats, the leftist media,

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 1>and one part of this that I'm really hoping we

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>get to is speaking of collusion, the degree of collusion

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:18.359
<v Speaker 1>between the so called serious journos of places like CNN

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and you know, other other news outlets that say they're

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>just doing journalism the way that they worked hand in

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 1>glove with not just former intelligence agency officials, but the

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.719
<v Speaker 1>former chiefs most recent chiefs of the intelligence agencies who

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.560
<v Speaker 1>would have been working specifically on the very issue of

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Russia Trump collusion while they were in office, and then

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.559
<v Speaker 1>using those allegations, laundering them through the press to give

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>them the veneer of credibility. How much of that happened?

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 1>You know? How many conversations did say Clapper and Jake Tapper?

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Clapper and Tapper sounds like a really bad cop buddy comedy.

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 1>How much did they talk about this? How is it

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>that CNN managed to break the story of the briefing

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 1>of the dossier by Comey to Trump right after it happened. Oh,

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>that's right, because they needed somebody to create a news

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>item out of something that was unsourced. And then BuzzFeed,

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 1>which we know from the conversations between the very conversation

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>between BuzzFeed editor in chief Ben Smith and none other

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 1>than fake Jake Tapper that they wanted to report on

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>the existence of the dossier without letting people see the dossier.

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 1>That was the game, That was what it was going

0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 1>to be. Then BuzzFeed let the cat out of the bag.

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 1>So they're BuzzFeed cats, cat videos. Let the cat out

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>of the bag, and we all got to see that

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.839
<v Speaker 1>this document was completely ridiculous. James Comey sat down with

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the President the United States and said, you should know

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 1>that this is out there. I mean, this is the

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 1>equivalent of the FBI director sitting down with the President

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>United States and saying, hey, you see all these comments

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>from internet trolls that are on this post about you.

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Some of them are saying some pretty crazy stuff. We

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 1>thought you should see this. What these people are supposed

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:13.120
<v Speaker 1>to be professionals. They're supposed to be neutral purveyors of

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.680
<v Speaker 1>sensitive information so that the government can make the best

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>decisions possible. And what we had here were a bunch

0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 1>of clowns, partisan clowns, blinded by their own egos and

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 1>political allegiances, and a media that was just up to

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>its neck in advocacy for Hillary and doing everything they

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 1>could to take down and destroy the president. And it

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 1>went so far as to be a conspiracy to weaponize

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 1>the intelligence apparatus of the United States government against a

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>presidential campaign in an election year, and we've had no

0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>accountability for this, really whatsoever, yet, no real reckoning. The

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>reason they don't want people to use the term spying

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 1>is because it will start to sink in the Obama administration,

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 1>his appointees and oh, speaking of when did he know

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and what did he know? You're gonna tell me that

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Obama didn't know about this. That's an unserious position. So

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Obama's appointees, with Obama knowing at least some of what

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 1>was going on, and not calling this into question, we're

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 1>spying on a presidential campaign. And then once they couldn't

0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>get their way and find what they thought they would find,

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>they decided to cover their tracks by concocting a story

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 1>of obstruction and then doing everything they could to fill

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the air waves and fill the newsrooms with all these

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 1>rumors about these nefarious plots with Putin and Trump and

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 1>doing his bidding, and this was all propaganda. It was

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>just a giant web of lies. You cannot trust these

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>people anymore. If you ever did, please stop believing them.

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 1>They made traffic in fact sometimes, but it's only so

0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 1>that they can piggyback the propaganda. On top of it,

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 1>there was spying. Do not let them gas light you

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 1>do not let them pretend that it didn't happen. It happened.

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 1>They spied on the Trump campaign. They threw everything they

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>could at President Trump to take him down. He came

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 1>out on top. But that's not enough. Now we've got

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to find out what they did in detail. The American

0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>people need to know, and we need to know before

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 1>we vote on the next presidential election. And I think

0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Bill Barr is going to get us there. The Democrats,

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the reckoning is coming. We'll be right back. He is

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>the opposite of Sessions, who has been who was recused.

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 1>He's embedded. He is completely immersed now with the Trump team.

0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 1>He shouldn't have been confirmed. Once he was confirmed, he

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>should have accused himself. He has no business being on

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>this case. I won't accept anything about this investigation until

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 1>we hear from Bomba. I mean, the Democrats weren't going

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>to be happy no matter who Trump appointed the attorney

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 1>general role, because if you have an adult in that

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>role who refuses to go along with the left wing

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>game anymore. Here of oh yeah, all this Russia collusion stuff.

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>This was on the up and up. This seemed legit.

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 1>If you don't say that, if you're not part of

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the part of the team, so to speak, team take

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 1>down Trump, they're gonna have a problem with you. That's

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>where we are. This is why all the Democrats are.

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 1>They're attacking far As though you know, it's his fault

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that there was no Russia collusion. It's Bar's fault that

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Mueller didn't bring obstruction or collusion charges. Did not say

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that there should be those charges conspiracy not collusion. But

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, this is all they've got. Now,

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 1>go after the guy who is doing everything he can

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:02.280
<v Speaker 1>to respect the process. But the cardinal sin here, the

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>thing that they will refuse to forgive is that Bar

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 1>won't back down from obvious objective reality, which is that

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 1>there was spying. Of course, there was spying. There are

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.120
<v Speaker 1>a whole New York Times articles referring to the FISA

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 1>stuff as spying. You know, when it benefited the left

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 1>to make this thing seem as nefarious as possible. Lots

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.879
<v Speaker 1>of stories about carter Page spying for the Russians, spying

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 1>on carter Page to see if he was spying for

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the Russians. George Papadopoulos, maybe tied to Wiki leaks, maybe

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 1>involved with Russian spies. Who knows all that was used

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:43.920
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Now that there's nothing that they can

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>point to to justify all this, they oh, spying, Well,

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.200
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't spying. It was It was more like a

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:56.119
<v Speaker 1>check in using the most sophisticated intelligence collection apparatus in

0:17:56.160 --> 0:18:00.199
<v Speaker 1>the world and doing so as an end ron on

0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 1>any Fourth Amendment protection in the name of national security. Yeah,

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 1>it's called spying. Use the spy word, folks. Do not

0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.680
<v Speaker 1>let them try to push you off this because it

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 1>conveys the gravity and the seriousness of what happened here,

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 1>which is that the Democrats tried a soft coup against

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the president of the United States. That's what they did.

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 1>You cannot trust these people. You should not listen to

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 1>these people, but you should watch them very closely, because

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 1>here's a promise. If we don't hold them accountable for this,

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:41.760
<v Speaker 1>they would try this again. That may just say, how

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 1>very very dismaying and disappointing that the chief law enforcement

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:53.240
<v Speaker 1>officer of our country is going off the rails yesterday

0:18:53.680 --> 0:19:00.399
<v Speaker 1>and today. He is Attorney General of the United States

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:08.119
<v Speaker 1>of America, not the attorney general of Donald Trump. Not

0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.639
<v Speaker 1>even really true what she's saying there. I mean, the

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.880
<v Speaker 1>a journey general works for the president. So but yes,

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 1>he is first and foremost was to work for the

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 1>American people, and that's what he's doing. This is the

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:24.440
<v Speaker 1>This is the way that the Democrat panic manifests itself.

0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>This is a straight up exercise in controlling the narrative.

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:33.479
<v Speaker 1>There was spying. There's no serious argument otherwise. It is

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>very clear that what's happening here is Democrats trying to

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:42.360
<v Speaker 1>normalize or dismiss this by saying, oh, don't don't use

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.160
<v Speaker 1>that word, don't use the S word, the spying word.

0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.719
<v Speaker 1>How is how is bar going off the rails? You know?

0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:55.199
<v Speaker 1>In what way? Has there been any violation of the

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.760
<v Speaker 1>trust put in Bar? Or just has there been a

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:05.320
<v Speaker 1>violation of common sense? Nadler and Pelosi are are spewing

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.399
<v Speaker 1>this garbage, and these people are a joke, an absolute joke.

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:12.719
<v Speaker 1>But unfortunate they've got a lot of power and the

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.359
<v Speaker 1>media is backing them up on this stuff. Play clip three.

0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Republican conspiracy theory nonsense, It says, show games. Look at

0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:25.360
<v Speaker 1>this imaginary conspiracy versus the fact that the Russians interfered

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.440
<v Speaker 1>with our elections. I'm very concerned about the statements made

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 1>by the Attorney General Barr. I think that they undermine

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:37.439
<v Speaker 1>our constitution, they undermine the role of the Attorney General.

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't trust Bar. I trust Muller. Okay, oh, okay,

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.120
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't trust bar, she trust Muller. Muller is part

0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 1>of the redaction team going through the report right now.

0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Mueller has not objected to anything that Barr has done.

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Muller is involved in all of this. But I mean,

0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi is she looks she's just she has no

0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 1>ethical core whatsoever, just so we'll say whatever she has

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.200
<v Speaker 1>to say that benefits her side. She'll say anything, She'll

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 1>say anything. And that guy Nadler saying, look at this

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.879
<v Speaker 1>imaginary conspiracy versus the fact that the Russians interfered in

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:18.159
<v Speaker 1>our elections. You want to talk about an exaggeration. The

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Russian interference in the election was an eye dropper of

0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:27.679
<v Speaker 1>water into an ocean of media and social media in

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:32.479
<v Speaker 1>the twenty sixteen fight, Yeah, did something happen, Sure did

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:36.440
<v Speaker 1>it matter? No serious person thinks that it mattered. But

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.879
<v Speaker 1>the imaginary conspiracy here is supposed to be the spying.

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.359
<v Speaker 1>The spying is a matter of record, it is a

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:46.639
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact. We've spent two years waiting for the

0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:51.760
<v Speaker 1>spying to be justified, and now that they cannot justify

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the spying, they're saying it wasn't spying. Oh wow, that's

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:03.320
<v Speaker 1>quite a walk back, isn't it. That's that's astonishing. And

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 1>they also, i think, have been thrown into a little

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:10.359
<v Speaker 1>bit of a disarray because unless they get something really

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>good on the obstruction, they know, they know that impeachment

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 1>is likely to blow back on them. That it's not

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 1>a politically intelligent thing for them to do, which is

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:26.320
<v Speaker 1>all they really care about, to pursuit and exercise, the pursuit,

0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:31.200
<v Speaker 1>acquisition and exercise of power. That is, that is the

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:36.679
<v Speaker 1>the the central soul of the Democrat left. That's all.

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.520
<v Speaker 1>That's the most important thing of all. What they have

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 1>to do to get there. You know what the results

0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.600
<v Speaker 1>are once they get it, that's all secondary. They need

0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to be in power. They have to be the ones

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:51.680
<v Speaker 1>who are in charge here. That's what mobilizes them, that's

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 1>what makes them tick, and that's why on impeachment Pelosi

0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 1>is now saying, well, maybe we gotta steps back a

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Maybe we've got to think a little more

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 1>about the long term ramifications here play too. The fact

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:10.280
<v Speaker 1>is is that this president has engaged in activities that

0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:15.359
<v Speaker 1>are unethical American in terms of taking babies out of

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the arms of their moms, on patriotic, I mean, in

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:22.119
<v Speaker 1>every way, he is unfit to be president of the

0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:25.640
<v Speaker 1>United States. Does that make it? Is that an impeachable offense? Well,

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 1>it depends on what we see in the report. Depends

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 1>on the report. They're still clinging to this He's unethical, Unamerican, unpatriotical.

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 1>What can Pelosi fill in some specifics here? Is what

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 1>is Unamerican about Donald Trump? I mean, that's a real

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:46.399
<v Speaker 1>that's a real stretch. I'd like to know what did

0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:49.399
<v Speaker 1>he do that's Unamerican? What did he do that's unpatriotic?

0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, the previous president Obama, he was the one

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:56.840
<v Speaker 1>to run around bowing and apologizing and America is really

0:23:56.880 --> 0:23:59.639
<v Speaker 1>not that great. And Michelle Obama saige you never you know,

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 1>for the first time in her adult life, she was

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 1>proud of her country when her husband became the commander

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:08.160
<v Speaker 1>in chief. What is a what does Trump do that's

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>un patriotic? I would like to know what that you know,

0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:15.800
<v Speaker 1>does she just pick word that mean bad? Nancy Pelosi

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:17.919
<v Speaker 1>finds words that are bad and then just says them

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 1>about Trump in every way he's unfit. I mean that's

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>interesting because I think right now he would crush, absolutely

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 1>crush any Democrat who ran against him. Bernie Sanders might

0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:34.400
<v Speaker 1>be able to win one or two states that Hillary lost,

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that's it now, not one of the big ones. And

0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 1>that's assuming that the media can run enough cover and

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 1>defense for a socialist, which I don't even I don't

0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:46.119
<v Speaker 1>even know if the media has that kind of juice anymore.

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they're really in a place to

0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:54.359
<v Speaker 1>shape the narrative so that a democratic socialist can can

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:56.360
<v Speaker 1>run and win. We're gonna see. I think we're gonna

0:24:56.400 --> 0:24:58.120
<v Speaker 1>find out, because I do think it's gonna be you're

0:24:58.119 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>ask me right now, I think the candidate's gonna be Bernie.

0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you're gonna have some Democrat come out

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:05.680
<v Speaker 1>of this pack. I think there's a lot of feeling

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:08.439
<v Speaker 1>out there that it should have been Burnie in twenty sixteen.

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 1>He's raising a lot of money, he's got the name recognition.

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:15.120
<v Speaker 1>They go back to Biden. There's why why would any

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 1>person vote for Biden over Trump? Because if he's a

0:25:19.160 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 1>more normal return to politics or something, it does not

0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:26.639
<v Speaker 1>make any sense to me, any sense at all. But

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 1>we'll see Democrats do a lot of things that don't

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 1>make sense to me. It doesn't mean that's not going

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 1>to happen. Oh, team, we have oh so much more

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:35.520
<v Speaker 1>coming your way. I want to talk to you about

0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Medicare for all, Bernie's plan, and some other stuff coming up.

0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 1>It's obviously a good question whether you trust Bill Barr

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:47.880
<v Speaker 1>or not. He was a confirmed unanimously his attorney general

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 1>way back in Bush forty one. He's an honorable man.

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:52.440
<v Speaker 1>He's not over there trying to cover anything up. He's

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:55.400
<v Speaker 1>going to send us a Muller report that is as

0:25:55.520 --> 0:26:00.320
<v Speaker 1>open as possible, and when I say as possible, pretty

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:02.959
<v Speaker 1>confident he's not going to throw innocent people who were

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 1>in charge under the bus and run their reputation or

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:13.159
<v Speaker 1>reveal classified information. This effort to undermine Bar before this

0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 1>report comes out is so transparent, and it's gone into

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 1>overdrive with the Yeah, there was spying debate that we've

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:24.159
<v Speaker 1>we've been thrown into now, which is not a debate.

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:26.879
<v Speaker 1>It's just a do you admit reality or not there

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:28.879
<v Speaker 1>was spying? Do you admit what happened or do you

0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:31.919
<v Speaker 1>not admit what happened? And you look Mitch McConnell, aka

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Cocaine Mitch. Any of you don't know why they call

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:37.280
<v Speaker 1>him that. You just gotta If you google Cocaine Mitch

0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube or something, or that's not googling, but you'll

0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:43.160
<v Speaker 1>see it'll come up. It was from an ad run

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:46.240
<v Speaker 1>by an opponent of his. I forget the guy's name

0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:48.920
<v Speaker 1>where he started to claiming Cocaine Mitch and it just

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 1>stuck as a wacko crazy nickname. But but you don't

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:54.680
<v Speaker 1>mess with Cocaine Mitch. The guy knows what he's doing

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and he understands the game here, which is they're trying

0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:02.359
<v Speaker 1>to do everything that they can to undermine bar in

0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:05.640
<v Speaker 1>this process, who's already been the Attorney general. He has

0:27:05.720 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 1>all the credentials, all the background to be in this role.

0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 1>And what you're seeing is that Democrats have there's no

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:15.240
<v Speaker 1>good faith here. They they always want their guy or

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:18.280
<v Speaker 1>their gal in this role because they know that leftists

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:21.600
<v Speaker 1>will side with leftists and then they'll have the whole

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>left wing ecosystem of media and academia and you know,

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the DNC and all the rest of it saying oh no, no,

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:31.840
<v Speaker 1>that was the right decision. Of course, that was the

0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:34.240
<v Speaker 1>right decision. There was no politics involved there. It don't

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:40.560
<v Speaker 1>be silly, don't be silly. You know, everything that Barr

0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:43.200
<v Speaker 1>has said is legitimate. Here here's Senator Jerry Moran, who's

0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 1>just saying, of course he should look into spine. Of course,

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Bar It's not just that it's a good idea. He

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 1>has a mandate. He has a mandate to look into spine.

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 1>He must know if the government was abusing its power.

0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Here play six. Those who are critics of the president,

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 1>those who are perhaps critics of the Attorney general, are

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:06.720
<v Speaker 1>over emphasizing the word spying. What he was talking about

0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 1>was the efforts that commenced this investigation. Were they based

0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:15.960
<v Speaker 1>upon legal authority? And the question is did that occur.

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:19.639
<v Speaker 1>That's very a very valid request of an attorney general

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to find out what the facts are. It's not even

0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a request, it's an obligation. He must find this out.

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:29.639
<v Speaker 1>He must find this out. Of a note. You know,

0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:32.399
<v Speaker 1>before we second hour, we got some big things. We

0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>have to get to the Julianus Sane arrest today. Julian

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:39.400
<v Speaker 1>mbuddy from a couple of years ago. We had a

0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 1>long chat. I'll tell you about that. The Julianus Sange arrest.

0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Also a Greg Craig got arrested, the White House counsel

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:51.000
<v Speaker 1>for Obama in the beginning of the first Obama term.

0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:55.720
<v Speaker 1>He's now facing a serious felony indictment. And you know

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:58.239
<v Speaker 1>they're they're feeding him to the lions. But I'll get

0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:01.320
<v Speaker 1>into why that is. More updates on the border total mass,

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the meeting's lying about it. We'll just we'll get into

0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:05.120
<v Speaker 1>that because we should. We have to. And then the

0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:09.240
<v Speaker 1>latest on Rashida to leave and ilhan Omar. And they're

0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the way they're defending themselves when people point out the

0:29:14.240 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 1>bad or stupid or reckless things that they say, Oh,

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 1>here's a guess it has to do with racism, right.

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:23.600
<v Speaker 1>That's that's where they take the conversation. But Bernie Sanders

0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.320
<v Speaker 1>put it out yesterday his medicure for rule the millionaires.

0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 1>The billionaire is gonna pay for it. Mitch McConnell understands

0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 1>that is a bad idea. I like I like Mitch

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 1>when he's getting getting feisty, getting a little frisky. I

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 1>like that, Mitch McConnell. And here's what he said about

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Bernie's Medicare for all planned play eleven not as long

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:44.960
<v Speaker 1>as I'm a jority. Later, it'd ought to be called

0:29:45.040 --> 0:29:49.239
<v Speaker 1>Medicare for none, because, as the setup piece pointed out,

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and eighty million Americans would lose the private

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:55.800
<v Speaker 1>health insurance they many of them negotiated for at work.

0:29:56.680 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Medicare itself that the current recipients have been pay into

0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:03.640
<v Speaker 1>all these years would be completely drained by adding all

0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:06.360
<v Speaker 1>these additional people. If you want to turn America into

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:09.320
<v Speaker 1>a socialist country, this is the first step. That coupled,

0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:11.960
<v Speaker 1>of course, with a Green New Deal, which would eliminate

0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of jobs. I think what we're seeing

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:18.800
<v Speaker 1>here is full socialism on display, and the democratic primaries

0:30:18.880 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 1>for president full socialism on display. Absolutely correct. That is

0:30:26.760 --> 0:30:30.920
<v Speaker 1>what is going on here, pushing to get us closer

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and closer to a truly socialist society where you have

0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the government making far too many decisions, the government deciding

0:30:41.320 --> 0:30:43.720
<v Speaker 1>who gets what and when, how much wealth you're allowed

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to have, how much of your wealth or your earnings

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:50.800
<v Speaker 1>goes to somebody else or some government program. And Bernie

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Sanders is saying that he would be willing to use

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:55.000
<v Speaker 1>this just came out yesterday to get this thing through.

0:30:55.840 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>He's going to use budget reconciliation. This is one place

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:04.520
<v Speaker 1>where I get very frustrated with the Republicans because Republicans

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:08.280
<v Speaker 1>still kind of like to play nice. Republicans will say, oh,

0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:10.720
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the Senate, we don't want to we

0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 1>don't want to rock the boat too much, and there's

0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>all this institutions and blah blah, all that stuff. Democrats

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:21.200
<v Speaker 1>are like, we want this, We're gonna do it. We

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:22.920
<v Speaker 1>want this. We're going to find a way to get

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:25.920
<v Speaker 1>around the Senate sixty vote requirement right now and just

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:30.080
<v Speaker 1>do it with a slim fifty vote majority. So you know,

0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 1>people are saying that Senators don't believe that this kind

0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:37.600
<v Speaker 1>of legislation could go through under reconciliation. But you know,

0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Sanders doesn't care what's supposed to happen. He just cares

0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:43.280
<v Speaker 1>what he can do. The raw exercise of power is

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:45.920
<v Speaker 1>all Democrats feel they need to get what they want.

0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:48.040
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter what they trample in the process, it

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter what previous norms are shattered, and this is

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:56.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be one of those one of those moments.

0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>What was the first thing? What Obama had all the

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:02.320
<v Speaker 1>votes he needed both houses of Congress. What was the

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 1>first thing he did? Healthcare? Because he knew that we'd

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 1>never be able to get rid of it, and that's

0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:08.760
<v Speaker 1>where we are right now, and that it would just

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:10.880
<v Speaker 1>put us on a pathway to socialize medicine, which is

0:32:10.960 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 1>exactly where we are. And I was saying this at

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the time along with many, many, many of my conservative

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:18.000
<v Speaker 1>brothers and sisters, and we were right, but we were

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 1>told that we were fear mongering, and we were wrong.

0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:23.280
<v Speaker 1>And now we're back here at the moment when we're

0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:25.640
<v Speaker 1>being told that medicare for all is what the Democrat

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Party is going to run on in twenty twenty, that

0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:29.920
<v Speaker 1>they're going to ram it down our throats no matter what,

0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 1>that they're going to destroy the private health insurance market.

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:35.240
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to have private insurers anymore, and you're

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:37.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna have your healthcare is going to be whatever the

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:41.440
<v Speaker 1>heck the Democrat controlled statists say at it a Democrat

0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:45.360
<v Speaker 1>controlled state, who are statists say it will be? That's

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:48.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be your healthcare plan that should be that

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 1>should be troubling. You know, I'm somebody who you know

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I want And this is where I started maybe sound

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:55.880
<v Speaker 1>a little radically. I want more profit motive and healthcare.

0:32:56.600 --> 0:33:00.040
<v Speaker 1>I want people spending money to give better care and

0:33:00.160 --> 0:33:03.920
<v Speaker 1>better delivery. You know, I want the healthcare providers to

0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 1>compete vigorously for your business. You know, last time I

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:10.240
<v Speaker 1>went to a hospital, it was just such a such

0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:13.640
<v Speaker 1>a lesson, and I waited for must have been in

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:18.080
<v Speaker 1>the emergency room, must have waited for four or five hours.

0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Doctor came in, spent thirty seconds with me, and said, oh,

0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I gotta go do something else, and left me again.

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I actually didn't even get seen. I left the hospital

0:33:26.720 --> 0:33:30.080
<v Speaker 1>without getting to see a doctor because I was just

0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:35.400
<v Speaker 1>so drained and frustrated and figured, you know, whatever stomach

0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 1>bug I had would just it would pass, and you know,

0:33:37.760 --> 0:33:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'd be okay and whatever. And I was.

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:43.480
<v Speaker 1>But it was a rough day. And I waited for

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:46.920
<v Speaker 1>four or five hours in there, and you know what

0:33:47.000 --> 0:33:49.840
<v Speaker 1>happened after that? They sent me a bill. Who wants

0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:53.680
<v Speaker 1>to guess how much the hospital bill was waiting for

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:58.080
<v Speaker 1>five hours in an er? You know, the most you know,

0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:01.040
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable depressing place and madgeble, I mean, you know, short

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:05.000
<v Speaker 1>of being in like a you know, a in the

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:06.920
<v Speaker 1>morgue or something. I mean, it's just, you know, it's

0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:08.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people and a lot of pain and

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of suffering, and you know, it's not a

0:34:10.080 --> 0:34:12.200
<v Speaker 1>place you want to spend a lot of time. I'm

0:34:12.239 --> 0:34:14.520
<v Speaker 1>glad there are emergency rooms obviously, but I just it's

0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:16.040
<v Speaker 1>not somewhere you will like to wait around. A lot

0:34:16.080 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 1>of people are sick. You don't want to get sick.

0:34:18.760 --> 0:34:21.239
<v Speaker 1>My hypochondriac side's coming out. But what do you think

0:34:21.280 --> 0:34:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the bill was for the non provision of services based

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 1>upon the blood pressure and blood pressure reading and weight

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:32.879
<v Speaker 1>that they took on me when when they first brought

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 1>me in, so they had a nurse take my blood pressure,

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:37.800
<v Speaker 1>in my weight and oh, in my temperature. What do

0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you think the bill was that they've sent me that

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have to pay out a pocket because it

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:45.640
<v Speaker 1>comes it was twelve hundred dollars, that's right, twelve hundred

0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:49.640
<v Speaker 1>dollars to not help me, not do anything, not see me.

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, but that's not good enough. And if I

0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 1>don't pay it all they're gonna send collection agency after

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:57.640
<v Speaker 1>me and all the sudden. You know, that's not good enough.

0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Our healthcare should be better than it is. It's not

0:35:02.000 --> 0:35:04.560
<v Speaker 1>going to be better because a bunch of government bureaucrats

0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:07.320
<v Speaker 1>sit on boards and committees and try to come up with,

0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:11.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, cost saving measures because we're blowing the budget out.

0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:14.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what Medicare for all will be. It will be

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a disaster. Your healthcare will get worse, the economy will

0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:22.800
<v Speaker 1>be slowed. There'll be less innovation, less cures, less new medicine.

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:27.279
<v Speaker 1>This is what the Democrats want, you know, that's just

0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:28.960
<v Speaker 1>take it back to the Soviet Union. Let's just have

0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:31.279
<v Speaker 1>glass factories that make glass that breaks before you can

0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 1>get off the assembly line. That's a great idea. That's

0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:37.640
<v Speaker 1>the economic theory they want to apply to our healthcare

0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:40.360
<v Speaker 1>system this country. It's just it's just so idiotic. But

0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:44.799
<v Speaker 1>that the left has lost its mind. Our two coming up.

0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Wikilaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like

0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a hostile intelligence service, and it's encouraged its followers to

0:35:55.760 --> 0:35:58.960
<v Speaker 1>find jobs at the CIA in order to obtain intelligence.

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:01.399
<v Speaker 1>It's time to all out wikilis for what it really

0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:05.360
<v Speaker 1>is a non state hostile intelligence service, often embedded by

0:36:05.400 --> 0:36:09.719
<v Speaker 1>state actors like Russia. This precedent means that any journalist

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:13.560
<v Speaker 1>can be extradited for prosecution in the United States for

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 1>having published truthful information about the United States various charges

0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:23.360
<v Speaker 1>involving his role in Russian metaling in our election. He

0:36:23.440 --> 0:36:26.239
<v Speaker 1>should face charges here, without presuming what the outcome will be,

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Justice should come to Julian Assange. Justice, it seems is

0:36:34.200 --> 0:36:40.480
<v Speaker 1>coming to Julian Assange arrested today. The Ecuadorian embassy has

0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 1>pushed him out, allowed British police to come in. I

0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:46.560
<v Speaker 1>wonder if they went there, like, excuse me, sir, hello,

0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:49.160
<v Speaker 1>can you please oh no, oh, would you please come

0:36:49.239 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 1>with us? Oh yes, oh no, no, rito yes. Actually

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the cops from them like a stuff together, a loud

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:01.560
<v Speaker 1>put out of well, all of a suddenly the cops

0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:03.680
<v Speaker 1>are Scottish. I don't know, We're running all over the place,

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:10.719
<v Speaker 1>but they've arrested Assange. And now, according to the indictment,

0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:13.560
<v Speaker 1>which we've seen from the Eastern District of Virginia, where

0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:18.000
<v Speaker 1>they often handle espionage related cases or federal government related cases,

0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:25.239
<v Speaker 1>you have a charge of essentially conspiring to hack into

0:37:25.320 --> 0:37:28.880
<v Speaker 1>a computer. Now there's so this is all related to

0:37:29.480 --> 0:37:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the Chelsea Manning situation. This is a Chelsea Manning related

0:37:36.000 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 1>case and they're not charging him, and this is very notable.

0:37:40.600 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 1>And I know people have all this passion about Assange,

0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I have a lot of different feelings

0:37:47.200 --> 0:37:50.160
<v Speaker 1>about what the you know, there's so many layers here.

0:37:50.320 --> 0:37:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I can't just give you the Do I think Assange

0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:54.800
<v Speaker 1>is a dirtbag? Yeah? I think he's a dirtbag. Do

0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that he does the bidding of some people

0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:02.080
<v Speaker 1>in Moscow? Yes, I think that that's probably true. Have

0:38:02.200 --> 0:38:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I seen direct evidence of it yet? No, I have not,

0:38:04.920 --> 0:38:07.279
<v Speaker 1>so I'm open. I'm open to counter arguments to be sure.

0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:10.239
<v Speaker 1>Has he published a lot of information that has had

0:38:10.239 --> 0:38:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous impact, including on say, the Arab Spring, and yes,

0:38:14.520 --> 0:38:18.520
<v Speaker 1>yes he has. Have I ever seen Julian Assange or

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:20.960
<v Speaker 1>do I know? Could I point you to Julian Assange

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:25.960
<v Speaker 1>releasing information that endangered the life of any particular source.

0:38:27.080 --> 0:38:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't give you chapter and verse on that, So

0:38:29.480 --> 0:38:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I try to be very honest to the

0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:34.320
<v Speaker 1>facts as they are around this guy. I interviewed Asange

0:38:34.560 --> 0:38:37.719
<v Speaker 1>what now, two years ago at some length on a podcast,

0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:42.359
<v Speaker 1>not on this show, on the Stansbury Investor Hour, which

0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:44.680
<v Speaker 1>to this day I wonder what that did to you know,

0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:48.239
<v Speaker 1>what malwaares on my computer, in my IP system and

0:38:48.280 --> 0:38:51.160
<v Speaker 1>everything else. Because of that, Connecting to one of the

0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:53.760
<v Speaker 1>most surveiled men on the planet inside the Ecuadorian Embassy

0:38:53.920 --> 0:38:57.480
<v Speaker 1>using your own personal IP address probably not the wisest

0:38:57.480 --> 0:38:59.080
<v Speaker 1>thing I've ever done, but you know, I wanted to

0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:03.880
<v Speaker 1>talk to the guy, so you know, he's very sanctimonious.

0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:07.440
<v Speaker 1>He does think that he's incredibly important. I do think

0:39:07.480 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Pam Anderson has been his girlfriend, which is an interesting

0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:14.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of nineties throwback side note, And there's all this

0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:16.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff about his cat too, and how he's kind of

0:39:16.760 --> 0:39:22.120
<v Speaker 1>a dirty, smelly, nasty guy inside the Ecuadorian Embassy. There's

0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:24.440
<v Speaker 1>only so much PlayStation I guess you can do before

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:27.360
<v Speaker 1>you just start to like let it go and give up.

0:39:27.560 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, I will say, usually as I'm in a

0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:33.200
<v Speaker 1>beard phase these days, Asange's beard, Beard game, Beard game,

0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:35.759
<v Speaker 1>kind of weak. Beard game looked like the guy's been

0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 1>sleeping on a park bench, maybe used to get some

0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:40.440
<v Speaker 1>of the beard oil or beard wax whatever going on.

0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I look at that. I look at

0:39:43.239 --> 0:39:44.880
<v Speaker 1>this whole list to get into the substance of this.

0:39:45.080 --> 0:39:46.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, has he endangered a source? Not that I

0:39:47.120 --> 0:39:49.560
<v Speaker 1>not that I could point you too. Does he have

0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 1>an ax to grind against the United States? Yeah? I

0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:55.880
<v Speaker 1>think so. Is he doing the work of hostile foreign

0:39:55.960 --> 0:39:59.719
<v Speaker 1>powers with what he's engaged in the past. Yeah. Do

0:39:59.840 --> 0:40:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that he really engaged in whistleblowing by getting

0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Manning to release all that classified information? Well, you know,

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:09.759
<v Speaker 1>war is messy and bad things happen. I'm not sure

0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:11.759
<v Speaker 1>there was no policy chains that came out of that.

0:40:13.640 --> 0:40:16.040
<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot of complain I'm just telling you

0:40:16.080 --> 0:40:19.040
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of complexity here. You know. You look, conservatives,

0:40:19.560 --> 0:40:21.880
<v Speaker 1>some of your favorite conservatives were having this guy on

0:40:22.160 --> 0:40:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and because as soon as he was involved with the

0:40:25.000 --> 0:40:29.080
<v Speaker 1>release of the DNC emails from Hillary from during the

0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Hillary campaign and the Podesta emails, as soon as that

0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:35.919
<v Speaker 1>was on the table, now a lot of conservatives like, wow,

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:39.560
<v Speaker 1>this radical transparency thought can be pretty cool. But the

0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:43.160
<v Speaker 1>moment that people found out about his role in the

0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:47.320
<v Speaker 1>release of classified information through Chelsea Manning, he was a

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:49.840
<v Speaker 1>trader people. I saw all these people saying he should

0:40:49.840 --> 0:40:54.960
<v Speaker 1>be drone striked and all this stuff. Well, this is

0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:57.719
<v Speaker 1>why there. You know, he's there's a lot of interesting stuff.

0:40:57.760 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 1>He's a very interesting character, and what he's done raises

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of questions. I mean, here's some of and

0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:05.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you will disagree with me on this.

0:41:05.760 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think that what he did by releasing

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the classified information, I think it was reckless. I don't

0:41:10.120 --> 0:41:14.400
<v Speaker 1>think it had some great effect or impact. But I

0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:16.320
<v Speaker 1>also think that a lot of journalists in this country

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:19.320
<v Speaker 1>release information that is classified, and that it is reckless

0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:22.640
<v Speaker 1>to do so. And I think they do so often

0:41:22.640 --> 0:41:24.960
<v Speaker 1>out of spite, you know. I think they do so

0:41:25.200 --> 0:41:27.640
<v Speaker 1>because the administration that's in power is one they don't like,

0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and they're just looking to create a bad news cycle

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:34.080
<v Speaker 1>for it. But here's where I start to have some

0:41:35.920 --> 0:41:40.440
<v Speaker 1>conflicting feelings about all this. You know, Julian Assange is

0:41:40.520 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 1>not an American citizen, So his obligation to protect classified

0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:51.960
<v Speaker 1>US government information, I don't believe that it really exists,

0:41:53.200 --> 0:41:55.239
<v Speaker 1>because I certainly wouldn't want to be held to the

0:41:55.280 --> 0:41:59.239
<v Speaker 1>standard of well, I said something or publish something that

0:41:59.520 --> 0:42:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the Iranian government, let's say, claims is classified and Therefore,

0:42:03.320 --> 0:42:05.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, America to be a good member of the

0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:08.040
<v Speaker 1>international community has to hand me over to Iran. I'm

0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:11.400
<v Speaker 1>not an Iranian citizen. I don't answer to them. Now

0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:13.719
<v Speaker 1>in the case of Assange, because he's an ass maybe

0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the Aussies are like, go get him America. They probably are,

0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:18.360
<v Speaker 1>because the Asses are a very good ally. But I

0:42:18.480 --> 0:42:21.640
<v Speaker 1>think that raises some interesting questions, you know, I think

0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:24.320
<v Speaker 1>that that creates an obligation. You know, one of my

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:28.520
<v Speaker 1>big problems with among many radical Islam is that it expects,

0:42:29.239 --> 0:42:34.919
<v Speaker 1>it expects, the expects nonbelievers to obey when it comes

0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:37.920
<v Speaker 1>to things like not showing images of the prophet Muhammad.

0:42:38.040 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know, that's a level beyond what you get

0:42:41.040 --> 0:42:44.759
<v Speaker 1>in most other faith traditions, where nonbelievers have to live

0:42:44.840 --> 0:42:46.719
<v Speaker 1>by the code of those who believe. If you're not

0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:49.000
<v Speaker 1>an American citizen, I do not believe you have any

0:42:49.080 --> 0:42:53.680
<v Speaker 1>obligation to protect American national security information because I would

0:42:53.719 --> 0:42:55.960
<v Speaker 1>not be expected him. I used to work for thus CIA,

0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and I would not want to be held to the

0:42:58.120 --> 0:43:01.240
<v Speaker 1>standard that I could be handed over to some foreign

0:43:01.320 --> 0:43:05.759
<v Speaker 1>government because I messed with their national security information. Right

0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:08.520
<v Speaker 1>so or now, in my role as a as a

0:43:08.719 --> 0:43:12.600
<v Speaker 1>media person, not really a journalist, but as a person

0:43:12.680 --> 0:43:16.040
<v Speaker 1>who does break stories and does do frontline coverage on

0:43:16.080 --> 0:43:18.200
<v Speaker 1>different issues. I wouldn't want some government to be able

0:43:18.280 --> 0:43:22.040
<v Speaker 1>to demand my extradition. So you know, I know that

0:43:22.200 --> 0:43:24.960
<v Speaker 1>my my Asange analysis for some of you is probably

0:43:25.520 --> 0:43:28.160
<v Speaker 1>unsatisfying in the sense that I'm not always terrible and

0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:29.880
<v Speaker 1>always great. But I would just note a lot of

0:43:29.920 --> 0:43:32.359
<v Speaker 1>the people who today I'm not going to name any names,

0:43:32.360 --> 0:43:34.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot of conservatives who today are going to tell

0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:37.279
<v Speaker 1>you this is great, Assange needs to go down, and

0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:40.319
<v Speaker 1>he's a bad guy and all this stuff. They were

0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:42.520
<v Speaker 1>people who not long ago, and I mean a couple

0:43:42.520 --> 0:43:45.960
<v Speaker 1>of years ago, we're saying that Asange was providing a

0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:48.720
<v Speaker 1>really necessary service, and they were interviewing him on their shows,

0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and so people have gone back and forth on this guy.

0:43:52.520 --> 0:43:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Now with that in mind, the way that this plays

0:43:56.000 --> 0:44:03.120
<v Speaker 1>out with the Democrats, I find fascinating because Democrats are

0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:05.759
<v Speaker 1>angry at this guy, have a beef with this guy

0:44:06.400 --> 0:44:08.960
<v Speaker 1>because of what he did at Hillary, right, it is

0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:14.920
<v Speaker 1>his anti Hillary record. That is why all of a

0:44:15.000 --> 0:44:18.120
<v Speaker 1>sudden you have a lot of Democrats cheering for him

0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:22.080
<v Speaker 1>to get prosecuted in this country. You have Democrats who

0:44:22.080 --> 0:44:25.520
<v Speaker 1>are coming out and celebrating this, and it's because they're

0:44:25.600 --> 0:44:28.640
<v Speaker 1>bitter because of the role that he played in really

0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:31.759
<v Speaker 1>exposing what we already knew was the case, which is

0:44:31.800 --> 0:44:34.279
<v Speaker 1>that the election or the nomination I should say, was

0:44:34.320 --> 0:44:37.560
<v Speaker 1>stolen from Bernie Senters. It was Bernie should have beaten

0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Hillary in a fair contest without the Democrat apparatus just

0:44:43.320 --> 0:44:46.600
<v Speaker 1>pushing her forward, and without all the behind the scenes

0:44:46.640 --> 0:44:50.480
<v Speaker 1>collusion between various hillary Bots that we don't even know about,

0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:54.319
<v Speaker 1>I think Bernie would have won. And what Asane did

0:44:54.440 --> 0:44:56.239
<v Speaker 1>was just to really expose that. I mean, there's nothing

0:44:56.280 --> 0:44:59.400
<v Speaker 1>else that anybody particularly remembers about this. I think there

0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:01.320
<v Speaker 1>might have been some off about how Chelsea Clinton's a

0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:03.560
<v Speaker 1>brat whoa big surprise, you know. I mean, there's some

0:45:04.200 --> 0:45:07.759
<v Speaker 1>not flattering stuff in there. But the only real bombshell,

0:45:07.760 --> 0:45:10.080
<v Speaker 1>if you could say there was a bombshell, was that

0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat National Committee had already picked the candidate for

0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat Party. There was no need for a primary.

0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:18.759
<v Speaker 1>It was gonna be Hillary. So Assan showed us that,

0:45:18.960 --> 0:45:22.440
<v Speaker 1>really a sossage, gave us, you know, more of that

0:45:23.200 --> 0:45:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and some proof of that, and people liked it, and

0:45:26.200 --> 0:45:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats obviously hated it, and the Hillary establishment media

0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and national security apparatus types are never going to forgive

0:45:35.719 --> 0:45:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Assange for what he did there. So he's upset both sides,

0:45:39.120 --> 0:45:42.319
<v Speaker 1>and he's done things that both sides either like or hate.

0:45:43.360 --> 0:45:46.000
<v Speaker 1>And obviously his ties to Chelsea Manning makes him a

0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:51.440
<v Speaker 1>sort of progressive hero of some kind. But to undermine

0:45:51.480 --> 0:45:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and this is where you know, my national security background

0:45:54.719 --> 0:45:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and feelings comes into play. I mean, to undermine confidential

0:45:58.680 --> 0:46:03.600
<v Speaker 1>and secret plomacy and discussions, even if you're not naming

0:46:03.719 --> 0:46:07.440
<v Speaker 1>names necessarily, but that's that's really dangerous and counterproductive stuff,

0:46:07.640 --> 0:46:09.520
<v Speaker 1>you see, if you believe and this is where I

0:46:09.640 --> 0:46:13.000
<v Speaker 1>have my My biggest objections to Assange are that he

0:46:13.320 --> 0:46:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he does do the bidding of and I

0:46:15.120 --> 0:46:17.279
<v Speaker 1>know this is a phrase that has been polluted by

0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:19.479
<v Speaker 1>Democrats saying Trump does this, but I really do believe

0:46:19.520 --> 0:46:23.719
<v Speaker 1>that Assange does the bidding of the Russians, and so

0:46:24.000 --> 0:46:27.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I have that issue with him. And also

0:46:27.880 --> 0:46:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I think America is overall and on balance, an incredible

0:46:32.520 --> 0:46:36.840
<v Speaker 1>force for good in the world, and for people to

0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:42.680
<v Speaker 1>try and unfairly target just America for embarrassment for the

0:46:42.719 --> 0:46:44.799
<v Speaker 1>sake of just embarrassing it. That I got, I've got

0:46:44.840 --> 0:46:48.040
<v Speaker 1>a problem with that. I haven't an issue with that

0:46:48.239 --> 0:46:50.120
<v Speaker 1>that there needs to be able to be I mean

0:46:50.160 --> 0:46:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the Wiki leaks cables, a vast majority

0:46:53.080 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 1>of it was like, okay, doing what we do, fighting

0:46:56.080 --> 0:46:58.680
<v Speaker 1>a war, having diplomacy behind the scenes. Yeah, you've got

0:46:58.760 --> 0:47:00.560
<v Speaker 1>to deal with some unsavory care chacters in the world

0:47:00.560 --> 0:47:04.520
<v Speaker 1>of diplomacy. Welcome to the world. I think that in

0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:07.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ways, what we saw in the wiki

0:47:07.360 --> 0:47:11.040
<v Speaker 1>leagues cables, which you know, I remember people who had

0:47:11.080 --> 0:47:13.279
<v Speaker 1>clearances are being told don't look at the wiki leagues

0:47:13.360 --> 0:47:15.520
<v Speaker 1>cables online. I was like, so, the people who are

0:47:15.760 --> 0:47:18.280
<v Speaker 1>legally allowed to see this stuff and their actual jobs

0:47:18.400 --> 0:47:20.920
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't look at it on the internet. That was That

0:47:21.040 --> 0:47:25.400
<v Speaker 1>was a weird one. But you know the reality of

0:47:26.239 --> 0:47:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Assange is that you always are picking a side, folks,

0:47:30.280 --> 0:47:32.680
<v Speaker 1>and this is what's true of journalism as well. You're

0:47:32.680 --> 0:47:34.560
<v Speaker 1>always picking a side, and I think I think Assange

0:47:34.600 --> 0:47:37.880
<v Speaker 1>often sides with the bad guys. So I have an

0:47:37.920 --> 0:47:40.080
<v Speaker 1>issue with that. As to the specifics of the of

0:47:40.160 --> 0:47:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the charges here, you know, they're going after them on

0:47:44.239 --> 0:47:51.880
<v Speaker 1>on essentially conspiracy to hack because they don't want to

0:47:51.920 --> 0:47:55.840
<v Speaker 1>make it about publishing secrets. Why because our own journalists

0:47:55.840 --> 0:47:58.840
<v Speaker 1>published secrets in this country, and the DOJ has a

0:47:59.160 --> 0:48:02.720
<v Speaker 1>policy but a law. There is no statute that protects

0:48:02.719 --> 0:48:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the New York Times, There is no statute that protects

0:48:04.920 --> 0:48:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Post from criminal penalty for publishing classified information.

0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:13.919
<v Speaker 1>We just don't do it. We don't force some First

0:48:13.960 --> 0:48:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Amendment standoff with them by threatening that or by taking action.

0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Although the Obama administration came very close listing James Rose

0:48:22.360 --> 0:48:25.640
<v Speaker 1>in a Fox News as a co conspirator in an

0:48:25.760 --> 0:48:29.960
<v Speaker 1>espionage case. And you know, the Obama administration was horrific

0:48:30.280 --> 0:48:33.040
<v Speaker 1>on press freedom, which they now pretend, Oh no, we

0:48:33.080 --> 0:48:35.520
<v Speaker 1>shtood up to Obama Police, a bunch of whimps in

0:48:35.600 --> 0:48:37.239
<v Speaker 1>the mainstream media. As you know, they did stand to

0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Obama worth of dam But they're going on this conspiracy

0:48:41.520 --> 0:48:43.719
<v Speaker 1>to hack into a government computer charge because that's one

0:48:44.200 --> 0:48:48.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty easy to prove and two not specifically about the publishing.

0:48:48.760 --> 0:48:51.120
<v Speaker 1>So they've just decided that they're going to get this guy.

0:48:51.800 --> 0:48:54.640
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I people are blaming the Trump administration

0:48:54.719 --> 0:48:58.360
<v Speaker 1>for this. I think that there are a lot of

0:49:00.080 --> 0:49:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Hillary people who are still in the government apparatus, who

0:49:03.960 --> 0:49:05.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe Trump's you know, Trump's people have to sign often,

0:49:05.960 --> 0:49:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and I get it, but I think a lot of

0:49:07.000 --> 0:49:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the Hillary people want to see this guy go down too.

0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I think this has turned into the political establishment in

0:49:13.000 --> 0:49:16.759
<v Speaker 1>DC wants to finally get a sage and you know,

0:49:16.760 --> 0:49:18.560
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna put him away for five years in a

0:49:18.600 --> 0:49:20.520
<v Speaker 1>federal federal prison. You know, see how he likes that,

0:49:21.239 --> 0:49:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to turn him into a free speech

0:49:22.880 --> 0:49:24.800
<v Speaker 1>martyr in the process. I would just note that's what

0:49:24.880 --> 0:49:26.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are gonna take from this. So

0:49:27.200 --> 0:49:30.839
<v Speaker 1>scummy guy had an impact. A lot more to talk

0:49:30.840 --> 0:49:33.680
<v Speaker 1>about here, but we'll continue to follow it. I'll be

0:49:33.840 --> 0:49:42.000
<v Speaker 1>right back. Well, they finally got one. They finally federal

0:49:42.080 --> 0:49:47.880
<v Speaker 1>government decided to take action against a Democrat for false

0:49:47.960 --> 0:49:51.280
<v Speaker 1>statements and for failure to register as a foreign agent

0:49:51.520 --> 0:49:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and all the rest of it. Greg Craig, who is

0:49:56.520 --> 0:49:59.880
<v Speaker 1>formerly White House counsel for President Barack Obama in his

0:50:00.320 --> 0:50:03.440
<v Speaker 1>first year, was indicted earlier today. At a lot of

0:50:03.520 --> 0:50:10.200
<v Speaker 1>big indictments lately, Anadi indictment, Julia Sans indictment, Greg Craig indictment,

0:50:11.000 --> 0:50:16.440
<v Speaker 1>but two counts of making false and misleading statements to investigators,

0:50:16.600 --> 0:50:22.240
<v Speaker 1>including Special Counsel Robert Muller's team. And this is because,

0:50:23.120 --> 0:50:27.240
<v Speaker 1>guess what, with all the Russia Russia Russia collusion nonsense,

0:50:27.239 --> 0:50:29.319
<v Speaker 1>all the stuff you hear, it turns out that there

0:50:29.360 --> 0:50:34.719
<v Speaker 1>are Democrats who were involved with Ukrainian oligarchs and trying

0:50:34.719 --> 0:50:38.759
<v Speaker 1>to do shady overseas political dealings and all the rest

0:50:38.800 --> 0:50:44.440
<v Speaker 1>of it. Greg craig was working on behalf of Russia

0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:48.920
<v Speaker 1>backed former President of Ukraine Victor Jennakovich. Oh, you mean

0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:53.840
<v Speaker 1>that people who are politically connected in DC, that swamp creatures,

0:50:54.040 --> 0:50:56.719
<v Speaker 1>will just go where the money is and they'll be

0:50:56.840 --> 0:50:59.400
<v Speaker 1>unethical in the process. But it's not about trying to

0:50:59.440 --> 0:51:02.560
<v Speaker 1>overturn in an election or do Putin's bidding. They'll just

0:51:02.719 --> 0:51:08.000
<v Speaker 1>they're just guns for hire, They're just political mercenaries. You

0:51:08.120 --> 0:51:12.319
<v Speaker 1>mean that this isn't actually a Republican or Trump specific thing. Oh,

0:51:12.440 --> 0:51:19.480
<v Speaker 1>that's right, that's right. And he concealed material facts and

0:51:19.560 --> 0:51:22.720
<v Speaker 1>made false statements to Muller and the DOJ National Security

0:51:22.760 --> 0:51:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Division about the Foreign Agents Registration Act. So this is

0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:30.840
<v Speaker 1>tied to a Farah prosecution, but it's not technically Farah

0:51:30.960 --> 0:51:36.279
<v Speaker 1>it's lying about Farah. And this guy was writing some

0:51:36.480 --> 0:51:43.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of essentially a study, publishing a document and was

0:51:43.520 --> 0:51:45.600
<v Speaker 1>saying that he only got was a report, saying that

0:51:45.640 --> 0:51:47.560
<v Speaker 1>he only got twelve thousand dollars for it, when his

0:51:47.640 --> 0:51:52.680
<v Speaker 1>law firm has actually paid millions. Scadden received four million

0:51:52.800 --> 0:51:56.880
<v Speaker 1>dollars for his services under this, not twelve not twelve thousand,

0:51:57.040 --> 0:52:01.800
<v Speaker 1>four million. That's a big difference, very big difference. This

0:52:02.160 --> 0:52:04.279
<v Speaker 1>just this shows you a few things. One is that

0:52:04.440 --> 0:52:07.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, swamp creatures going to swamp. People that have

0:52:08.360 --> 0:52:11.919
<v Speaker 1>access and can trade on that access for money tend

0:52:12.000 --> 0:52:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to do so. And this is no different. People that

0:52:15.880 --> 0:52:18.279
<v Speaker 1>want to make a lot of money and are unscrupulous

0:52:18.320 --> 0:52:21.960
<v Speaker 1>will go work overseas and try to you know, hide it.

0:52:21.960 --> 0:52:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And in this case, he was hiding it because the

0:52:23.520 --> 0:52:31.040
<v Speaker 1>report was meant to provide cover for Yanikovich in the

0:52:31.120 --> 0:52:34.719
<v Speaker 1>international community. So it was better if it didn't look

0:52:34.800 --> 0:52:37.320
<v Speaker 1>like Greg Craig was totally paid off to put forward

0:52:37.360 --> 0:52:41.640
<v Speaker 1>this report, right, So it was a credibility issue. So

0:52:41.960 --> 0:52:45.040
<v Speaker 1>on top of just the lying about the funds and

0:52:45.120 --> 0:52:50.279
<v Speaker 1>lying about this, they just were this this guy was

0:52:50.360 --> 0:52:53.600
<v Speaker 1>paying to sell his credibility. Craig, who was Obama's White

0:52:53.600 --> 0:52:55.680
<v Speaker 1>House counsel. That's right. Oh, there are people tied to

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Obama who are shady and do bad things. Yeah, of

0:52:58.200 --> 0:53:02.600
<v Speaker 1>course there are. Um and uh, you know, this is

0:53:02.719 --> 0:53:05.279
<v Speaker 1>this is one of these times where you see that,

0:53:05.800 --> 0:53:09.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, people can be corrupted for money. But then

0:53:09.080 --> 0:53:10.759
<v Speaker 1>I got one other frustration, and this is just for me.

0:53:11.000 --> 0:53:12.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're all gonna say, now, oh see, they'll

0:53:12.800 --> 0:53:17.359
<v Speaker 1>they'll prosecute democrats too. Ah. Sorry, this is a sacrificial

0:53:17.440 --> 0:53:20.160
<v Speaker 1>lamb case here. This is putting. This is putting a

0:53:21.120 --> 0:53:23.359
<v Speaker 1>guy you know, in the cross areas who's not looking

0:53:23.400 --> 0:53:26.520
<v Speaker 1>at that much time, whose conduct was pretty egregious for

0:53:26.640 --> 0:53:29.040
<v Speaker 1>what it was, and Tie It's just like it's just

0:53:29.120 --> 0:53:31.320
<v Speaker 1>what Manafort did, same kind of stuff, except minus the

0:53:31.400 --> 0:53:33.920
<v Speaker 1>tax violations. I'm not going to believe that we have,

0:53:34.200 --> 0:53:37.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, an equal justice system for Democrats and Republicans

0:53:37.280 --> 0:53:40.960
<v Speaker 1>in politically high profile cases until Andy McCabe and some

0:53:41.080 --> 0:53:44.320
<v Speaker 1>others a DJ and FBI get prosecuted, until Andy McCabe

0:53:44.360 --> 0:53:47.160
<v Speaker 1>gets prosecuted for lying under oath. Sorry, this doesn't cut

0:53:47.239 --> 0:53:50.560
<v Speaker 1>it for me. This is just this is just trying

0:53:50.640 --> 0:53:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to do a distraction move. For the most part, has

0:53:57.280 --> 0:54:01.279
<v Speaker 1>returned a thirty six count indictment against a turning Michael Abanati.

0:54:02.160 --> 0:54:05.560
<v Speaker 1>This indictment is now the operative charging document in the case.

0:54:07.040 --> 0:54:11.480
<v Speaker 1>The indictment substantially broadens the criminal conduct that was charged

0:54:11.520 --> 0:54:14.200
<v Speaker 1>in the criminal complaint that was unsealed on March twenty fifth.

0:54:15.120 --> 0:54:18.600
<v Speaker 1>The charges now being alleged against mister Abnati can be

0:54:18.760 --> 0:54:26.320
<v Speaker 1>broken down into four general categories. First, wire fraud related

0:54:26.360 --> 0:54:29.320
<v Speaker 1>to the theft of millions of dollars from five clients.

0:54:30.000 --> 0:54:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Second tax fraud including failing to file income tax returns

0:54:35.800 --> 0:54:39.960
<v Speaker 1>for himself and his law firm, Third bank fraud, and

0:54:40.200 --> 0:54:46.120
<v Speaker 1>fourth bankruptcy fraud. Michael Avenati is having a bad day.

0:54:47.560 --> 0:54:53.839
<v Speaker 1>That's very clear. This guy is facing now thirty six

0:54:54.000 --> 0:54:56.360
<v Speaker 1>count indictment and these are the kind of charges you know.

0:54:56.360 --> 0:54:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I know Abanati thinks he's a clever guy, thinks that

0:54:58.600 --> 0:55:01.879
<v Speaker 1>he's going to appeal to public sentiment and the fact

0:55:01.920 --> 0:55:04.560
<v Speaker 1>that he's a Trump fighter, you know, that was that

0:55:04.760 --> 0:55:08.280
<v Speaker 1>was his big appeal before. Oh he's willing to stand

0:55:08.400 --> 0:55:11.920
<v Speaker 1>with the porn star and be the creepy poorn lawyer

0:55:12.040 --> 0:55:15.160
<v Speaker 1>that he was. But it was bad for Trump. So

0:55:15.640 --> 0:55:18.960
<v Speaker 1>not only did Democrats not ask any tough questions about him.

0:55:19.680 --> 0:55:23.080
<v Speaker 1>They elevated him. They pretend like it's not just like

0:55:23.160 --> 0:55:25.600
<v Speaker 1>they pretend that there was no spying when we all

0:55:25.640 --> 0:55:27.400
<v Speaker 1>know there were spying in the Trump campaign. This is

0:55:27.480 --> 0:55:28.920
<v Speaker 1>this is not up for debate. This is not up

0:55:28.960 --> 0:55:33.360
<v Speaker 1>for discussion. They pretend now, Democrats in the left like

0:55:33.480 --> 0:55:37.040
<v Speaker 1>there weren't real discussions, and I know there were because

0:55:37.040 --> 0:55:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm here in the swamp and I talked to Democrats

0:55:39.000 --> 0:55:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot. There were discussions about whether Avenati was going

0:55:42.560 --> 0:55:48.719
<v Speaker 1>to be a dark horse political candidate for the presidency

0:55:48.840 --> 0:55:51.480
<v Speaker 1>for the Democrats in twenty twenty. That was real that

0:55:51.640 --> 0:55:53.440
<v Speaker 1>they want to tell you now that it wasn't there.

0:55:53.880 --> 0:55:57.319
<v Speaker 1>We never would have done that. Yeah, right, it was real.

0:55:58.840 --> 0:56:01.680
<v Speaker 1>That's just now that this guy has been exposed as

0:56:01.800 --> 0:56:10.160
<v Speaker 1>just the worst, slimiest, most disgraceful. I mean, producer Mike

0:56:10.320 --> 0:56:16.080
<v Speaker 1>is telling me that it was on the cover of Politico. Yeah, man,

0:56:16.160 --> 0:56:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Politico has on our heads right on the front cover

0:56:19.080 --> 0:56:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that he was going to be in the twenty twenty candidate.

0:56:21.440 --> 0:56:25.120
<v Speaker 1>So they were all in on him. This is this

0:56:25.280 --> 0:56:30.879
<v Speaker 1>is astonishing, This is astonishing. You know, the Politico would

0:56:32.239 --> 0:56:34.400
<v Speaker 1>take the position that this guy based on what, by

0:56:34.480 --> 0:56:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the way, because he says mean things about Trump and

0:56:37.000 --> 0:56:39.959
<v Speaker 1>and and don't don't let them say, oh, it's only

0:56:40.080 --> 0:56:44.320
<v Speaker 1>because of what's happened now, we could they couldn't have

0:56:44.440 --> 0:56:48.239
<v Speaker 1>known that Michael Avanatti was so scummy. And that's really

0:56:48.280 --> 0:56:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the word for he's scummy. Sky's an unethical, nasty, you know, vindictive,

0:56:57.480 --> 0:57:00.920
<v Speaker 1>ambulance chaser, that's who this is. And the Democrats were like, yeah,

0:57:01.000 --> 0:57:03.880
<v Speaker 1>let's make him our champion. What does this tell you

0:57:03.920 --> 0:57:05.719
<v Speaker 1>about them? Mother? For all they're talking about old Trump

0:57:05.840 --> 0:57:07.680
<v Speaker 1>is so immoral and we don't like Trump because he

0:57:07.760 --> 0:57:10.719
<v Speaker 1>doesn't use the nice language, and that's but then they

0:57:10.880 --> 0:57:13.360
<v Speaker 1>want to stand behind Michael Avonati or even have a

0:57:13.400 --> 0:57:16.400
<v Speaker 1>conversation about this guy as though he's someone that should

0:57:16.400 --> 0:57:20.320
<v Speaker 1>be taken seriously really on any matter. It's appalling. I mean,

0:57:20.320 --> 0:57:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the stupidity here is hard to overstate. But they went

0:57:25.320 --> 0:57:29.480
<v Speaker 1>for it. They they were they were all about Avenati

0:57:29.720 --> 0:57:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know, trying to find some way to elevate

0:57:35.920 --> 0:57:38.240
<v Speaker 1>him at Trump's expense. It was it should have been

0:57:38.320 --> 0:57:41.080
<v Speaker 1>known that he wasn't anyone to put any stock in

0:57:41.200 --> 0:57:43.120
<v Speaker 1>because he was the guy. You gotta remember, it's not

0:57:43.240 --> 0:57:49.160
<v Speaker 1>just a Stormy Daniels thing. Avanati represented Sweatnick, Julie Sweatnick,

0:57:49.240 --> 0:57:54.440
<v Speaker 1>the third accuser against Brett Kavanaugh now Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh, thankfully,

0:57:55.320 --> 0:58:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and Sweatnick's allegations were so transparently and obviously false and

0:58:02.640 --> 0:58:07.200
<v Speaker 1>preposterous that any ethical lawyer would have would have refused

0:58:07.320 --> 0:58:10.280
<v Speaker 1>to take that and write out a sworn statement and

0:58:10.320 --> 0:58:14.800
<v Speaker 1>take that public. But Avenati's not ethical, not an ethical

0:58:14.880 --> 0:58:20.840
<v Speaker 1>guy obviously. Oh what is the extent of his corruption?

0:58:20.920 --> 0:58:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how much of a scummy individual is he?

0:58:24.720 --> 0:58:28.760
<v Speaker 1>This is from the indictment today as well, play clip twenty.

0:58:29.480 --> 0:58:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Mister Avanati conducted committed wire fraud in relation to funds

0:58:35.280 --> 0:58:38.920
<v Speaker 1>more than twelve million dollars in total, that he received

0:58:39.000 --> 0:58:43.439
<v Speaker 1>and held in trust on behalf of his clients. While

0:58:43.480 --> 0:58:46.280
<v Speaker 1>mister Avanatti was entitled to attorney's feast for the settlements

0:58:46.280 --> 0:58:50.920
<v Speaker 1>he negotiated, the indictment alleges that he nevertheless stole millions

0:58:50.960 --> 0:58:56.040
<v Speaker 1>of dollars that rightfully belonged to his clients. There are

0:58:56.120 --> 0:59:00.439
<v Speaker 1>five separate client victims in four cases in which money

0:59:00.560 --> 0:59:04.480
<v Speaker 1>was stolen, including a paraplegic man who agreed to a

0:59:04.600 --> 0:59:08.640
<v Speaker 1>multimillion dollars settlement, but has received only a fraction of

0:59:08.720 --> 0:59:11.320
<v Speaker 1>the money, despite the fact that mister Avenatti received the

0:59:11.400 --> 0:59:16.480
<v Speaker 1>full settlement amount over four years ago. That's right, everybody.

0:59:17.000 --> 0:59:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Michael Avenatti, one time Democrat hopeful for the presidency, the

0:59:22.520 --> 0:59:28.120
<v Speaker 1>great anti Trump champion of the looney progressive Left, was

0:59:28.560 --> 0:59:34.120
<v Speaker 1>stealing money from a paraplegic client of his as his lawyer.

0:59:36.520 --> 0:59:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Avenati was robbing the guy in a wheelchair that he

0:59:41.160 --> 0:59:46.200
<v Speaker 1>was supposed to represent and has a sacred legal duty

0:59:47.320 --> 0:59:52.040
<v Speaker 1>to protect and assist. Nope, just stole the money. Just

0:59:52.200 --> 0:59:55.800
<v Speaker 1>just stole the money from him. And are these are counts,

0:59:55.840 --> 0:59:59.240
<v Speaker 1>by the way, These are the kinds of allegations where

0:59:59.320 --> 1:00:01.600
<v Speaker 1>it either is or it isn't. You know, we're talking about,

1:00:02.240 --> 1:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, failure to file income taxes and uh and

1:00:06.120 --> 1:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, stealing and money laundering and why or fraud

1:00:09.360 --> 1:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and all these different things. That's the kind of stuff

1:00:11.720 --> 1:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that gets you in a whole lot of trouble. And

1:00:15.320 --> 1:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>they either have the records or they don't. I'm sure

1:00:17.320 --> 1:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Abnadi's gonna come up with, you know, some version of

1:00:20.040 --> 1:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the of the uh, the kind of OJ defense here

1:00:23.200 --> 1:00:25.080
<v Speaker 1>where it's like, oh, they're just getting me because it

1:00:25.160 --> 1:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>has nothing to do with the case. But they're just

1:00:27.240 --> 1:00:29.040
<v Speaker 1>going after me because of Trump. You know, that's what

1:00:29.120 --> 1:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna say. You know, just like with oj was,

1:00:31.160 --> 1:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, I killed two people. But you know, racism,

1:00:35.280 --> 1:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Avanadi is gonna be I I stole from a guy

1:00:37.600 --> 1:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>in a wheelchair who was my client. But Trump, I

1:00:41.640 --> 1:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's gonna be enough. I don't think that's

1:00:43.720 --> 1:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna work for this guy. But as fast as you

1:00:47.120 --> 1:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>can see, Democrats pretend like nothing ever happened, you know,

1:00:50.840 --> 1:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>pretend like Michael Avenati was not. I mean, and not

1:00:53.800 --> 1:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>just in the political system, but the media, as though

1:00:57.240 --> 1:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the media hadn't already with the Russia collusion nonsense, covered

1:01:02.680 --> 1:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>itself in an absolute just intellectual bile. I mean, just

1:01:09.680 --> 1:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the media has ruined itself in a way that I'm

1:01:13.640 --> 1:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>hoping it will never recover from just over Russia. But

1:01:17.760 --> 1:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>they put this guy Abanati on TV. I mean there

1:01:20.800 --> 1:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>was a time when Michael when CNN was the Avenati channel,

1:01:24.760 --> 1:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he was on there it felt like ten

1:01:27.720 --> 1:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>times a day, all because they were just wanting to

1:01:32.280 --> 1:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>have somebody who was going to talk about how disgusting

1:01:34.520 --> 1:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump was, how terrible he was and how he

1:01:36.440 --> 1:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>slept with a porn star. And let's just talk more

1:01:38.600 --> 1:01:40.960
<v Speaker 1>about the porn star and Donald Trump's sleeping with the

1:01:41.000 --> 1:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>porn star. That's all it was. We're supposed to treat

1:01:44.720 --> 1:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>these places as as legitimate news organizations and news organizations. Now,

1:01:48.760 --> 1:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>now you can tell me, Buck, that was a real story. Okay,

1:01:51.840 --> 1:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't that biggest story. Wasn't that interesting? And more

1:01:56.120 --> 1:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>than that, maybe they should have asked some questions about

1:01:58.800 --> 1:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>this guy who obviously has very sketchy relationships with his

1:02:04.840 --> 1:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>clients and has a history now that he's going to

1:02:07.800 --> 1:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>have to explain well before a hopefully a federal federal jury.

1:02:12.960 --> 1:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>That's where this is all heading. But this guy was

1:02:15.800 --> 1:02:20.439
<v Speaker 1>a hero of the resistance. And you know, you see

1:02:20.480 --> 1:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>this with a lot of these resistance heroes, whether it's

1:02:22.880 --> 1:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>that guy Schneiderman up in New York who is a

1:02:25.280 --> 1:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>left wing me too anti Trump resistance here, Oh he's

1:02:28.280 --> 1:02:31.920
<v Speaker 1>actually a woman abuser and a scum. You know, you

1:02:32.000 --> 1:02:34.439
<v Speaker 1>see this. You saw this with Anthony Wiener. Oh, big

1:02:34.560 --> 1:02:37.919
<v Speaker 1>firebrand leftist type, love to go on TV and mix

1:02:38.040 --> 1:02:40.920
<v Speaker 1>it up and try to bash conservatives and fight with

1:02:41.040 --> 1:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the right, and oh it turns out that you know,

1:02:43.080 --> 1:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>he's chasing around teenage girls and sending you know, elicit

1:02:48.000 --> 1:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>lewed photos to them, and now as a convicted sex offender. Right,

1:02:52.400 --> 1:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>But he was on MSNBC all the time. They loved putting,

1:02:56.040 --> 1:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>they'd loved putting the Wiener on MSNBC. And now you've

1:03:01.280 --> 1:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>got Avannati, who, granted it is not guilty of that

1:03:05.760 --> 1:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of conduct or thing that is in that realm,

1:03:09.640 --> 1:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>but the kind of unethical behavior talking about here, I mean,

1:03:13.240 --> 1:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>rip off your clients as a lawyer, doesn't get much

1:03:15.760 --> 1:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>worse than that. So we'll see what ends up happening.

1:03:19.000 --> 1:03:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I know he's claiming that he's going to beat this.

1:03:21.080 --> 1:03:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if that's going to be the case. I

1:03:23.360 --> 1:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want to represent have ANADI. I'll tell you that much.

1:03:29.600 --> 1:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>By any measure, four thousand arrest in a day, one

1:03:34.440 --> 1:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand in a month, that's the population of the

1:03:37.880 --> 1:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>city of Albany, New York. That suddenly shows up on

1:03:40.080 --> 1:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>our southern border in one month is a crisis. And

1:03:45.520 --> 1:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>it's a crisis because it overwhelms our border patrol and

1:03:49.800 --> 1:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>our immigration officials ability to deal with it. And it's

1:03:53.360 --> 1:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>a crisis because you have to absorb that population somehow

1:03:58.760 --> 1:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>into southern border towns, and so it overwhelms the humanitarian

1:04:04.080 --> 1:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>effort on our southern border, it overwhelms our DHS personnel,

1:04:08.200 --> 1:04:11.440
<v Speaker 1>and frankly, it all emanates from the crisis that's been

1:04:11.480 --> 1:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>going on for some time in Central America. Oh there's

1:04:15.800 --> 1:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>a crisis. Huh. That's j Johnson, Obama's former DHS secretary,

1:04:21.080 --> 1:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>a guy very, very respected on the left, and he's saying,

1:04:25.200 --> 1:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>looked by any measure, there's a crisis. Wait, but we

1:04:28.600 --> 1:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>were told what last month, month before that, no crisis,

1:04:33.120 --> 1:04:37.280
<v Speaker 1>there's no crisis. What purpose Let's really think about this

1:04:37.320 --> 1:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>for a moment. What purpose is the media is supposed

1:04:39.600 --> 1:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>to serve? According to the media, right, not the real

1:04:42.960 --> 1:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>purpose that they serve is pushing a left wing agenda

1:04:45.440 --> 1:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and trying to enrich themselves and grow their power and influence.

1:04:49.240 --> 1:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>And I'll do it under this guise of quote journalism.

1:04:51.640 --> 1:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>But what what are they saying that they do? Oh,

1:04:55.600 --> 1:05:00.280
<v Speaker 1>that's right. They provide the necessary information to the public

1:05:00.600 --> 1:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>for us to understand what's going on in our country

1:05:03.560 --> 1:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and in our world and become more informed and therefore

1:05:07.840 --> 1:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>better citizens. Of this they would say democracy. Many of

1:05:11.600 --> 1:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you would correct them and say republic. But you know

1:05:13.440 --> 1:05:16.280
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, right, They give us the necessary information

1:05:16.400 --> 1:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to be involved and educated citizens there, and that should

1:05:20.440 --> 1:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that should filter all the way up to our elected representatives.

1:05:22.800 --> 1:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>That's what they say. So how is it that they

1:05:24.800 --> 1:05:28.360
<v Speaker 1>could get this so wrong? How is it possible that

1:05:28.440 --> 1:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>in good faith they could miss something by this much?

1:05:34.080 --> 1:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Last twenty four hours you have headlines like this for

1:05:36.400 --> 1:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>the New York Times, the US immigration system may have

1:05:39.880 --> 1:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>reached a breaking point? How did we go from reach

1:05:43.280 --> 1:05:45.800
<v Speaker 1>a breaking point now? And you know, you go back

1:05:45.840 --> 1:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>in time and it was, oh, no, only people, the

1:05:48.920 --> 1:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>only people who are worried about this are are bad

1:05:51.520 --> 1:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>people who don't want Central Americans here and because they're mean,

1:05:56.520 --> 1:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>they're heartless, they want to just separate children and etc. Etc.

1:06:00.760 --> 1:06:05.600
<v Speaker 1>You know Vox today where you know they just I

1:06:05.720 --> 1:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know how they managed to get so many bitter

1:06:09.160 --> 1:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>beta mails working for one organization, but Vox does a

1:06:12.080 --> 1:06:15.880
<v Speaker 1>great job of it. Border the migration crisis and the

1:06:15.920 --> 1:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump administration's response explained they had a piece just a

1:06:18.600 --> 1:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>few hours ago. So it's a crisis. Everyone now says

1:06:21.840 --> 1:06:25.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a crisis. Why did it take them all this

1:06:25.280 --> 1:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>time to get to this point. Well, I'll tell you this,

1:06:27.840 --> 1:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that not only were they denying the reality

1:06:31.120 --> 1:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>of it because they didn't want it to be true.

1:06:34.200 --> 1:06:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that for some of these newsrooms, for some

1:06:36.960 --> 1:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>of these organizations and publications, they wanted to give more

1:06:41.440 --> 1:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>time for to reach this critical mass because now the

1:06:45.520 --> 1:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>storyline that they're pushing isn't oh my gosh, what's going

1:06:48.320 --> 1:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>on here? What are we going to do to fix

1:06:51.200 --> 1:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>this and stop this? It's well, we're totally overwhelmed. So

1:06:54.760 --> 1:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>we're just gonna have to just bring in more and

1:06:56.280 --> 1:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>more and more. We can't stop this now. Now now

1:06:59.560 --> 1:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>it's our you know, the horses have already left the

1:07:01.640 --> 1:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, the barn doors were opened. The horses have

1:07:03.200 --> 1:07:07.160
<v Speaker 1>already run out, so to speak. I messed up that metaphor,

1:07:07.240 --> 1:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>or you get what I'm saying. They it's already done.

1:07:10.760 --> 1:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a fat accompla. So we might as well just

1:07:15.560 --> 1:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>accelerate this process and bring an even more just allow

1:07:18.480 --> 1:07:22.640
<v Speaker 1>a mass migration from Central America into this country under

1:07:24.240 --> 1:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>with illegal crossings happening every day and under false pretenses.

1:07:29.000 --> 1:07:32.600
<v Speaker 1>It is a false pretense that all these families showing

1:07:32.640 --> 1:07:34.640
<v Speaker 1>up the border are fleeing violence in their home countries.

1:07:34.680 --> 1:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>That is a lie. It's a lie because the violence

1:07:38.640 --> 1:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>under asylum systems that we're trying to deal with is

1:07:42.880 --> 1:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>violence that a specifically target against people because of either

1:07:46.280 --> 1:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>their ethnicity, their religion, or their political opposition to the state.

1:07:51.480 --> 1:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not I live in a country where there's violence.

1:07:54.800 --> 1:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I live in Washington, d C. Am I an asylum

1:07:58.240 --> 1:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>seeker if I want to go to Canada because there

1:08:00.400 --> 1:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>are parts of DC that are violent. My part of

1:08:05.120 --> 1:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>DC isn't that violent, but there are parts of DC

1:08:07.240 --> 1:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>where there are shootings and stabbings and bad things happen.

1:08:10.320 --> 1:08:12.080
<v Speaker 1>So can I say, do I get to go claim

1:08:12.120 --> 1:08:13.840
<v Speaker 1>a silent you know, forget Canada. Can I claim a

1:08:13.920 --> 1:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>silent Monaco? Because I live in America and there's violence

1:08:17.040 --> 1:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>in America. Now, I know you're probably thinking, Buck, this

1:08:19.880 --> 1:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>is absurd, but that's exactly right. It is absurd. The

1:08:24.240 --> 1:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>positions that are being taken here by the left, by

1:08:26.840 --> 1:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats and their media lackeys, are absurd. They're just

1:08:32.560 --> 1:08:39.519
<v Speaker 1>simply not intellectually defensible, and yet here we are the

1:08:39.640 --> 1:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>other thing that they're doing. And this just drives me

1:08:42.600 --> 1:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>just this drives me insane. This is all about racism

1:08:47.360 --> 1:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>for them. That's that's what the argument turns into. You

1:08:50.400 --> 1:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>don't want mass illegal immigration into this country in violation

1:08:54.560 --> 1:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>of laws that Democrats aren't changing either, would I would

1:08:57.280 --> 1:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>note you know, Democrats won't vote for open borders. They

1:09:01.000 --> 1:09:05.599
<v Speaker 1>just want open borders. And if you try to stand

1:09:05.640 --> 1:09:07.600
<v Speaker 1>against this and speak about what's really going on, this

1:09:07.760 --> 1:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>is what they say. They say about you. What they

1:09:10.160 --> 1:09:13.800
<v Speaker 1>say about Stephen Miller, the president's senior advisor, who is

1:09:13.880 --> 1:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>an immigration architect of sorts, architect of immigration policy. Here's

1:09:18.200 --> 1:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>what the media says about him. Play thirteen. We have

1:09:23.320 --> 1:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>a white nationalist president who's a threat to American democracy.

1:09:27.080 --> 1:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>It's the language of white nationalist European splinterer, hard right

1:09:33.080 --> 1:09:36.799
<v Speaker 1>crazy town parties, and we haven't heard in our politics

1:09:36.880 --> 1:09:38.840
<v Speaker 1>in a long time. It's going to be Stephen Miller,

1:09:39.040 --> 1:09:42.519
<v Speaker 1>and his sort of white nationalist tendencies are really obvious.

1:09:42.560 --> 1:09:45.960
<v Speaker 1>He can't even dress that up. Stephen Miller, immigration hardliner,

1:09:46.080 --> 1:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>immigration hardliner, Stephen Miller, the dark lord of antimmigration, Stephen Miller.

1:09:51.240 --> 1:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's a stretch for a lot of

1:09:52.680 --> 1:09:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Americans out there to wonder whether or not the president

1:09:55.200 --> 1:10:00.560
<v Speaker 1>is secretly considering himself a white nationalist. That was the

1:10:01.360 --> 1:10:04.519
<v Speaker 1>senior White House correspondent for CNN saying he thinks the

1:10:04.600 --> 1:10:08.080
<v Speaker 1>president secretly is a white nationalist. Just for anybody who

1:10:08.080 --> 1:10:11.160
<v Speaker 1>says do they can't call us fake news. That's still unfair. No,

1:10:11.560 --> 1:10:15.439
<v Speaker 1>they are fake news. CNN's a joke. Maybe it won't

1:10:15.439 --> 1:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>always be, maybe it'll get its bearings and start to

1:10:17.920 --> 1:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>be a news organization again. Now CNN is a propaganda

1:10:20.400 --> 1:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>organ of the Democratic Party full stop. But all that stuff,

1:10:25.360 --> 1:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>they said, they're white nationalist. Trump's a white nationalist. Steve

1:10:28.000 --> 1:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Miller's a white nationalist. This is how the left. This

1:10:30.240 --> 1:10:33.599
<v Speaker 1>is how the left debates. You know, they won't get

1:10:33.640 --> 1:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>into the substance on this because what they're doing is

1:10:35.640 --> 1:10:39.760
<v Speaker 1>they're they're allowing the country to slowly dissolve. Our sovereignty

1:10:39.920 --> 1:10:43.439
<v Speaker 1>is eroding every day. That's just reality. But they don't

1:10:43.479 --> 1:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>want to face that. So what they do is say, oh, well,

1:10:45.080 --> 1:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>if you have a problem with this, you're you're a

1:10:46.400 --> 1:10:49.439
<v Speaker 1>white nationalist. You're a bad person. That's what they tell you.

1:10:51.520 --> 1:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot allowed to it, a lot you can

1:10:53.240 --> 1:10:55.479
<v Speaker 1>get away with in debate if you have no ethics

1:10:55.600 --> 1:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and no no real argument to make, and unfortunately that's

1:10:57.920 --> 1:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>what we face when we're arguing with lives. I know

1:11:04.000 --> 1:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>that there's something else that has been on your mind

1:11:05.920 --> 1:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and on a lot of folks minds, and that is

1:11:07.320 --> 1:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>some comments and some backlash now to Congresswoman Elon Omar,

1:11:11.280 --> 1:11:13.439
<v Speaker 1>after some comments surface this week in which and I

1:11:13.560 --> 1:11:15.479
<v Speaker 1>want to play it, she said something about the nine

1:11:15.479 --> 1:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>to eleven attacks. I want to talk about your reaction

1:11:18.040 --> 1:11:19.880
<v Speaker 1>to the backlash and your reaction to the comment in

1:11:19.920 --> 1:11:24.799
<v Speaker 1>two pieces. So here's that remark. Congresswoman Care was founded

1:11:25.080 --> 1:11:30.160
<v Speaker 1>after nine eleven because they recognize that some people did

1:11:30.280 --> 1:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>something and that all of us were starting to lose

1:11:34.720 --> 1:11:39.599
<v Speaker 1>access to our civil liberties. And it's that phrase people

1:11:39.680 --> 1:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>did something that is being picked up on by some

1:11:42.120 --> 1:11:44.680
<v Speaker 1>of the congresswoman's critics, including for example, the cover of

1:11:44.720 --> 1:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the New York Post, which I will ask you about

1:11:46.240 --> 1:11:49.120
<v Speaker 1>in a second, But on these remarks themselves, some people

1:11:49.200 --> 1:11:51.600
<v Speaker 1>did something as a reference to nine to eleven, do

1:11:51.720 --> 1:11:54.280
<v Speaker 1>you think she should have rethought her words? Do you

1:11:54.400 --> 1:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>worry about the appropriateness of that? They do this all

1:11:56.760 --> 1:11:59.519
<v Speaker 1>the time to us, especially women of color, they do that,

1:11:59.640 --> 1:12:02.080
<v Speaker 1>they take our words out of context because they're afraid

1:12:02.320 --> 1:12:05.200
<v Speaker 1>because we speak truth, we speak truths of power. My

1:12:05.320 --> 1:12:08.080
<v Speaker 1>sister Lahan Omar, she was she was talking about was

1:12:08.400 --> 1:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>uplifting people. Okay, so you've heard it. That's enough of

1:12:12.439 --> 1:12:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the looney the looney bin over at MSNBC there. But

1:12:15.520 --> 1:12:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to give the uh, you know, give

1:12:20.000 --> 1:12:23.080
<v Speaker 1>the context of this. That was Rashida to leave another

1:12:23.120 --> 1:12:27.200
<v Speaker 1>one of these new members of the Democrat majority House

1:12:27.240 --> 1:12:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of Representatives who has some ideas that are that are

1:12:31.920 --> 1:12:35.880
<v Speaker 1>problematic when it comes to well when it comes to

1:12:36.080 --> 1:12:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Israel specifically, but a whole lot of things. And she

1:12:39.439 --> 1:12:41.679
<v Speaker 1>went on to say that it was a pure racist

1:12:41.840 --> 1:12:46.880
<v Speaker 1>act to call out Ilhan Omar for and they played

1:12:46.880 --> 1:12:48.679
<v Speaker 1>the audio there too, so you got to hear for yourself.

1:12:48.800 --> 1:12:51.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, you know, some people did something with nine

1:12:51.560 --> 1:12:55.920
<v Speaker 1>to eleven um. That's you know, let's let's just put

1:12:55.920 --> 1:12:57.960
<v Speaker 1>it this way. I understand you can make this case

1:12:58.080 --> 1:12:59.559
<v Speaker 1>that oh well, she was trying to just move past

1:12:59.640 --> 1:13:01.439
<v Speaker 1>it quickly and not get bogged down too that. You know,

1:13:01.479 --> 1:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>there's there are ways you could try to explain away

1:13:03.400 --> 1:13:06.639
<v Speaker 1>any bad comments. But you know, if we were talking

1:13:06.680 --> 1:13:09.280
<v Speaker 1>about World War two and we were talking about the

1:13:09.320 --> 1:13:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Holocaust and someone said, yeah, okay, so you know, some

1:13:14.040 --> 1:13:16.559
<v Speaker 1>people did some very bad thing or she didn't even

1:13:16.560 --> 1:13:18.040
<v Speaker 1>say that. If you just said some people did some

1:13:18.200 --> 1:13:23.000
<v Speaker 1>things in the death camps, people would rightly look at

1:13:23.040 --> 1:13:25.040
<v Speaker 1>you like you were nuts. You know, what do you

1:13:25.080 --> 1:13:26.960
<v Speaker 1>mean some people did something in the death camps? Like

1:13:27.200 --> 1:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>some it was one of the worst atrocities in the

1:13:29.680 --> 1:13:32.320
<v Speaker 1>history of humanity? What why would you refer to that

1:13:32.400 --> 1:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>as some people did something? And as a native New

1:13:36.240 --> 1:13:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Yorker and an American and a human being to refer

1:13:39.920 --> 1:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to the murder of nearly three thousand people over the

1:13:43.439 --> 1:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>course of an hour or so, including many of them

1:13:48.080 --> 1:13:51.400
<v Speaker 1>burned alive, jumping out of buildings to escape the flames,

1:13:51.920 --> 1:13:54.960
<v Speaker 1>crushed in debris, terrified to refer to that as some

1:13:55.040 --> 1:13:57.320
<v Speaker 1>people did something. Yeah, you're gonna get hit for that.

1:13:58.080 --> 1:14:00.040
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna get hit for that. Omar, you're good to

1:14:00.080 --> 1:14:03.759
<v Speaker 1>get hit for that. Talib people are going to rightly

1:14:04.520 --> 1:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>get upset at that, because it's a very disrespectful way

1:14:09.280 --> 1:14:12.639
<v Speaker 1>to talk about an event that changed many lives. Changed

1:14:12.680 --> 1:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>my life, changed the lives of a lot of you.

1:14:14.400 --> 1:14:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Listening to this who served in the military or served

1:14:17.000 --> 1:14:21.360
<v Speaker 1>in the government trying to track down those pieces of

1:14:21.439 --> 1:14:24.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what, who attacked us on that day. So

1:14:24.760 --> 1:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>it was a big deal. It was a big It

1:14:26.800 --> 1:14:29.040
<v Speaker 1>wasn't some people did something. But you know, this is

1:14:29.080 --> 1:14:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the victim mentality. Oh omar At talking about CARE and look,

1:14:34.400 --> 1:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>CARE are often terror apologists. They are let's just say

1:14:38.200 --> 1:14:42.000
<v Speaker 1>what it is. CARE the Council and Arab Islam or

1:14:42.160 --> 1:14:48.160
<v Speaker 1>American Islamic relations rather is often downplaying terror and does

1:14:48.240 --> 1:14:51.120
<v Speaker 1>this whole whiny Oh, but the real threat is Islamophobia

1:14:51.120 --> 1:14:54.000
<v Speaker 1>all the time. You know. The real threat is that

1:14:54.120 --> 1:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>people are going to think that Islam isn't a religion

1:14:56.960 --> 1:15:01.920
<v Speaker 1>of peace. Well, that's a whole other conversation. I do

1:15:02.080 --> 1:15:04.400
<v Speaker 1>not respect CARE as an organization. I do not think that.

1:15:04.520 --> 1:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>And don't even get me started with some of the

1:15:05.960 --> 1:15:07.720
<v Speaker 1>other connections that it's had in the past. Will be

1:15:07.800 --> 1:15:11.760
<v Speaker 1>here all night. But for her to just sort to

1:15:11.840 --> 1:15:14.200
<v Speaker 1>dismiss nine to eleven and say, the real problem is

1:15:14.240 --> 1:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>that people looked at some individuals wearing hit jobs in

1:15:18.160 --> 1:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the months after nine to eleven a little bit strangely,

1:15:21.600 --> 1:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that's not a problem, but it's nowhere

1:15:24.040 --> 1:15:27.679
<v Speaker 1>near in the same stratosphere of problem as three thousand Americans,

1:15:27.720 --> 1:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>including a lot of Muslims by the way, killed on

1:15:30.120 --> 1:15:32.679
<v Speaker 1>nine to eleven. I think that's a much, much bigger deal.

1:15:32.760 --> 1:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>But what's the go to. What does the progressive left

1:15:36.080 --> 1:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>do when cornered with their own foolishness. Well, you know

1:15:42.040 --> 1:15:45.080
<v Speaker 1>what they do. They make it about, Oh it's racist,

1:15:45.360 --> 1:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's it's policing quote women of color, and the

1:15:51.360 --> 1:15:54.320
<v Speaker 1>way that they speak about these matters, and this is

1:15:54.360 --> 1:15:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the way. There's a whole generation now it's really my

1:15:58.120 --> 1:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>contemporaries who are just beginning to you know, start their long,

1:16:02.680 --> 1:16:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure decades long careers in the Congress of these progressive,

1:16:07.640 --> 1:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>woke social justice warrior types, who don't you know, Pelosi

1:16:12.800 --> 1:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>and Biden, you know, they they give lip service to

1:16:16.320 --> 1:16:18.760
<v Speaker 1>all that social justice stuff because it's useful for them,

1:16:18.920 --> 1:16:21.360
<v Speaker 1>but they don't they're not true believers. You know. Joe

1:16:21.400 --> 1:16:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Biden is a white dude who likes to play a

1:16:23.080 --> 1:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of golf and you know, puts on this air

1:16:26.200 --> 1:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>of being a man of the people, but really really

1:16:29.080 --> 1:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>likes to spend time around the fancy and the connected.

1:16:32.280 --> 1:16:37.479
<v Speaker 1>But to leave and Omar and Ocazio Cortez and you know,

1:16:37.560 --> 1:16:41.120
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of other young Democrat members of Congress.

1:16:41.439 --> 1:16:43.680
<v Speaker 1>They're true believers in this stuff. I mean they they

1:16:43.800 --> 1:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>think that social justice, wokeness and intersectionality and the obsession

1:16:49.760 --> 1:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>that the left has with the politics of oppression and victimology,

1:16:54.720 --> 1:16:58.439
<v Speaker 1>that that's not just for them a posture. They really

1:16:58.520 --> 1:17:01.160
<v Speaker 1>think this stuff is. They think that this is real.

1:17:01.280 --> 1:17:03.880
<v Speaker 1>They want to fight against it, and they know that

1:17:04.040 --> 1:17:07.639
<v Speaker 1>their most effective weapon is to run around calling everybody racist,

1:17:07.760 --> 1:17:10.880
<v Speaker 1>calling everybody an islamophobe, and just try to use fear

1:17:10.960 --> 1:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>instead of argument and persuasion so that no one will

1:17:13.960 --> 1:17:16.639
<v Speaker 1>stand in their way. And here's to leave talking about

1:17:17.560 --> 1:17:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Trump's travel ban, which people still they still say it's

1:17:21.680 --> 1:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>a Muslim ban. It bans something like, population wise, twelve

1:17:25.000 --> 1:17:27.400
<v Speaker 1>percent of the Muslim world. I mean, it's a tiny,

1:17:28.080 --> 1:17:30.600
<v Speaker 1>tiny fraction, and there are all kinds of loopholes. And

1:17:32.000 --> 1:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>but here's what she says about that plate twenty two.

1:17:34.200 --> 1:17:38.280
<v Speaker 1>The fact that even the Muslim band being present, currently

1:17:38.320 --> 1:17:42.000
<v Speaker 1>in existence, it shows to so many people like somehow,

1:17:42.160 --> 1:17:45.120
<v Speaker 1>as being of Muslim faith, expressing your freedom of religion

1:17:45.720 --> 1:17:48.120
<v Speaker 1>in this country, that somehow that you're less than and

1:17:48.240 --> 1:17:50.720
<v Speaker 1>they need to see leadership from Congress members. They say,

1:17:50.760 --> 1:17:52.680
<v Speaker 1>we don't agree with this president, we don't agree with

1:17:52.760 --> 1:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>this on American policy. And that's what we're doing by

1:17:55.280 --> 1:17:57.840
<v Speaker 1>introducing this bill and pushing forward and using it to

1:17:58.120 --> 1:18:01.479
<v Speaker 1>educate American people that this directly this No matter what

1:18:01.560 --> 1:18:03.639
<v Speaker 1>the courts are saying, I'm telling you, this was intended

1:18:03.680 --> 1:18:07.519
<v Speaker 1>to directly impact people's right to express themselves through other

1:18:07.640 --> 1:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>faith and in many ways also feel make people feel

1:18:11.120 --> 1:18:14.879
<v Speaker 1>less than because they're Muslim faith. So was it intended

1:18:14.920 --> 1:18:17.519
<v Speaker 1>to make all the North Korean Muslims, of which there

1:18:17.560 --> 1:18:20.800
<v Speaker 1>are none, feel less than? Or what about the Venezuela

1:18:20.800 --> 1:18:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and Muslims of which there are some but not very many?

1:18:24.200 --> 1:18:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Were they were they supposed to feel badly about? What

1:18:26.880 --> 1:18:28.840
<v Speaker 1>about the rest of the people of Venezuela and North Korea?

1:18:29.680 --> 1:18:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Was this an attack on their Islamic nous or lack

1:18:34.400 --> 1:18:39.080
<v Speaker 1>of lack of Islamic credentials. I'm just wondering. I'm just wondering.

1:18:39.120 --> 1:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>What about all the Muslim countries that are not included

1:18:41.000 --> 1:18:43.519
<v Speaker 1>in the band? Oh? What about the fact that the

1:18:43.680 --> 1:18:46.840
<v Speaker 1>countries in the band were specifically singled out by the

1:18:47.080 --> 1:18:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Obama administration as countries that have a particular problem with terrorism?

1:18:53.240 --> 1:18:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Is that what was Obama being islamophobic and racist? Or

1:18:56.520 --> 1:18:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I I just would like some clarity from the left

1:18:59.400 --> 1:19:03.400
<v Speaker 1>on this. I'd them to explain what it is exactly

1:19:03.680 --> 1:19:06.200
<v Speaker 1>that they're they're referring to when they call it a

1:19:06.320 --> 1:19:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Muslim ban, because it clearly doesn't ban all Muslims. It

1:19:09.760 --> 1:19:14.639
<v Speaker 1>only bans some Muslims. So, and it's based on national origin,

1:19:15.160 --> 1:19:17.760
<v Speaker 1>not based on religious persuasions. So in fact, if you

1:19:17.880 --> 1:19:22.000
<v Speaker 1>are an Iranian, an Iranian Christian, or an Iranian Jew,

1:19:22.160 --> 1:19:25.679
<v Speaker 1>you would also be covered by this. Is it something

1:19:25.720 --> 1:19:28.080
<v Speaker 1>we should ignore that many of the most troubled places

1:19:28.120 --> 1:19:31.720
<v Speaker 1>in the world when it comes to political violence and instability,

1:19:31.840 --> 1:19:34.479
<v Speaker 1>happen to be Muslim majority countries. Are Are we supposed

1:19:34.520 --> 1:19:37.160
<v Speaker 1>to pretend that's not the case? No, you know, we're

1:19:37.160 --> 1:19:40.360
<v Speaker 1>supposed to do. We are supposed to let Omar and

1:19:40.640 --> 1:19:45.439
<v Speaker 1>to Leib and Okazio Cortez just browbeat all the rest

1:19:45.479 --> 1:19:50.200
<v Speaker 1>of us into agreeing to whatever they want politically culturally,

1:19:51.160 --> 1:19:54.479
<v Speaker 1>because to oppose them is to be sexist, racist, bigoted,

1:19:54.520 --> 1:19:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and islamophobic. That's the real plan, that's their pitch and unfortunately,

1:19:58.720 --> 1:20:01.280
<v Speaker 1>because of the brainwashing of the millennials that are you know,

1:20:01.400 --> 1:20:12.200
<v Speaker 1>my generation, this stuff works. Alexa. What is the CIA?

1:20:14.040 --> 1:20:18.320
<v Speaker 1>The Central Intelligence Agency, the civilian foreign intelligence service of

1:20:18.400 --> 1:20:22.799
<v Speaker 1>the US government, tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national

1:20:22.880 --> 1:20:26.479
<v Speaker 1>security information from around the world, primarily through the use

1:20:26.520 --> 1:20:32.000
<v Speaker 1>of human intelligence. Do you work for the CIA, Alexa?

1:20:34.400 --> 1:20:38.639
<v Speaker 1>Do you work for the CIA? No? I'm not employed

1:20:38.720 --> 1:20:42.200
<v Speaker 1>by them. I'm made by Amazon. Alright, alright, alright, So

1:20:42.320 --> 1:20:45.200
<v Speaker 1>that was one of my That was one of my favorite. Uh,

1:20:45.600 --> 1:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>that's one of my favorite Alex Jones moments there, man, Alexa,

1:20:49.720 --> 1:20:53.680
<v Speaker 1>do you work for the CIA? No? I do not

1:20:54.160 --> 1:20:59.519
<v Speaker 1>work for the CIA. So here's here's why I'm bringing

1:20:59.560 --> 1:21:02.960
<v Speaker 1>this up right now. Other than you know, anytime we

1:21:03.000 --> 1:21:09.519
<v Speaker 1>could talk about mister Jones's greatest hits is entertaining. There

1:21:09.760 --> 1:21:12.760
<v Speaker 1>is reason to be concerned about these open mics that

1:21:12.840 --> 1:21:16.479
<v Speaker 1>people have all over the place. I've been worried about

1:21:16.520 --> 1:21:19.599
<v Speaker 1>this for some time. I have Sirie on my iPhone.

1:21:19.680 --> 1:21:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I turn Siri off. Why would I turn Syria off? Well,

1:21:23.240 --> 1:21:26.640
<v Speaker 1>because for me, the idea that I would have a

1:21:27.040 --> 1:21:32.240
<v Speaker 1>microphone that is actively monitoring and therefore recording everything that

1:21:32.360 --> 1:21:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I say, and that that recording device is one in

1:21:36.439 --> 1:21:39.640
<v Speaker 1>trusting that information to a third party, and two already

1:21:40.600 --> 1:21:44.200
<v Speaker 1>linked up to all of my personal information and data

1:21:44.760 --> 1:21:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and connected to the Internet. That strikes me as a

1:21:48.640 --> 1:21:51.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit terrifying. And this is where we start to

1:21:51.439 --> 1:21:56.120
<v Speaker 1>see that we do live in a kind of digital panopticon.

1:21:56.520 --> 1:21:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many of you know what a panopticon,

1:22:00.080 --> 1:22:03.080
<v Speaker 1>so let me explain that for a second. It's an

1:22:03.160 --> 1:22:06.519
<v Speaker 1>English philosopher named Jeremy Bentham came up with this idea

1:22:06.520 --> 1:22:10.160
<v Speaker 1>in the eighteenth century of a building where you are

1:22:10.280 --> 1:22:15.120
<v Speaker 1>essentially there's one central guard tower surrounded with all these

1:22:15.200 --> 1:22:18.200
<v Speaker 1>cells that are open. And because the cells are all

1:22:18.240 --> 1:22:21.280
<v Speaker 1>open and you have no privacy and there's a guard tower,

1:22:21.800 --> 1:22:27.639
<v Speaker 1>everyone will behave because there's you never know if someone's

1:22:27.680 --> 1:22:30.400
<v Speaker 1>looking at you, right, so you never know when you're

1:22:30.520 --> 1:22:32.519
<v Speaker 1>being watched versus when other people are being watched. So

1:22:32.560 --> 1:22:34.920
<v Speaker 1>therefore you have to assume all the time you're being watched.

1:22:35.240 --> 1:22:38.400
<v Speaker 1>We do live in a kind of digital panopticon. Now, now,

1:22:38.439 --> 1:22:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I think in many ways that's good for human behavior.

1:22:42.479 --> 1:22:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that the enormous increases we've had in safety

1:22:47.640 --> 1:22:52.160
<v Speaker 1>in America for example, are largely attributable to technology, most

1:22:52.200 --> 1:22:59.040
<v Speaker 1>specifically the proliferation of cellular phones and geolocation on those phones,

1:22:59.120 --> 1:23:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and just the all the tracking and everything that's possible

1:23:01.439 --> 1:23:04.000
<v Speaker 1>as a result of these computers, which is what we

1:23:04.080 --> 1:23:06.200
<v Speaker 1>are carrying. We are carrying computers around with us all

1:23:06.240 --> 1:23:10.360
<v Speaker 1>the time that are tracking our moves, that are storing

1:23:10.400 --> 1:23:13.599
<v Speaker 1>our communications. But I've never been comfortable with this thing

1:23:13.640 --> 1:23:15.840
<v Speaker 1>of sirie. You know, when I'm sitting around that I'm

1:23:15.920 --> 1:23:18.200
<v Speaker 1>like talking. I don't know, maybe I'm talking a little

1:23:18.200 --> 1:23:21.040
<v Speaker 1>bit about T. Swift's greatest hits and it's like playing

1:23:21.439 --> 1:23:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Taylor's swift? Are you ready for it? When that happens?

1:23:27.439 --> 1:23:29.559
<v Speaker 1>Not that that has ever happened to me, obviously, Right

1:23:29.640 --> 1:23:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that happens a producer, Mike, I'm not the T. Swift fan,

1:23:33.160 --> 1:23:35.479
<v Speaker 1>But when that happens, he's going to punch me for that.

1:23:36.600 --> 1:23:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I just got to say that. You know, you got

1:23:39.479 --> 1:23:42.680
<v Speaker 1>to remember that that information that you're speaking openly all

1:23:42.720 --> 1:23:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the time about is going through an electronic device, and

1:23:46.800 --> 1:23:50.600
<v Speaker 1>there is some analysis of it. Well turns out that

1:23:50.760 --> 1:23:53.040
<v Speaker 1>it's not just and this is the big story today

1:23:53.080 --> 1:23:58.200
<v Speaker 1>on Bloomberg. It's not just the algorithms and machine learning

1:23:58.240 --> 1:24:01.720
<v Speaker 1>that has applied to what you're saying in earshot of

1:24:01.760 --> 1:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>your Alexa. The reality is that a lot of what

1:24:05.920 --> 1:24:08.360
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, or at least a lot of what you're saying,

1:24:08.479 --> 1:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>could be listen to buy an actual, live human being

1:24:12.320 --> 1:24:18.000
<v Speaker 1>who works for Amazon. That's disconcerting, folks. I would not

1:24:18.160 --> 1:24:20.200
<v Speaker 1>want that to be the case. I think that this

1:24:20.439 --> 1:24:24.840
<v Speaker 1>is where we see the the privacy need should be

1:24:25.000 --> 1:24:29.240
<v Speaker 1>re established in ways that that are urgent. They have

1:24:29.400 --> 1:24:31.560
<v Speaker 1>this article or they talk about how there are you know,

1:24:31.680 --> 1:24:33.640
<v Speaker 1>there's tens of millions of people around the world who

1:24:33.680 --> 1:24:36.080
<v Speaker 1>use these smart speakers, and they'll say, you know, play

1:24:36.600 --> 1:24:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Kenny G. You know do do do Do Do Do

1:24:39.479 --> 1:24:43.080
<v Speaker 1>do do? Do you know? Kenny G? Right, that sounds

1:24:43.160 --> 1:24:45.439
<v Speaker 1>just like Kenny G. I will have you know, and

1:24:46.160 --> 1:24:47.840
<v Speaker 1>then it comes on and people think they're all cool.

1:24:47.920 --> 1:24:51.800
<v Speaker 1>So when I'm like, hey, Alexa, drop down the Murphy bed,

1:24:51.920 --> 1:24:56.280
<v Speaker 1>turn the lights low, and let the cats stevens Perrum. Yeah,

1:24:56.320 --> 1:25:02.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe I look like a smooth operator. Smooth, but that

1:25:02.520 --> 1:25:04.559
<v Speaker 1>means that all the times when I'm talking about other things,

1:25:05.600 --> 1:25:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Alexa is also hearing that. And there are cases now

1:25:09.600 --> 1:25:13.360
<v Speaker 1>of people that work for Amazon, who have heard what

1:25:13.439 --> 1:25:15.560
<v Speaker 1>they think might be a crime in progress, or that

1:25:15.680 --> 1:25:17.960
<v Speaker 1>they might have even heard a sexual assault or a

1:25:18.120 --> 1:25:20.920
<v Speaker 1>child being abused or you know something, and you know,

1:25:21.000 --> 1:25:24.000
<v Speaker 1>what are the legal ramifications of this? When do they

1:25:24.080 --> 1:25:26.439
<v Speaker 1>take action? How do they know what's really going on?

1:25:27.280 --> 1:25:30.040
<v Speaker 1>What are the expectations we should have of a company

1:25:30.479 --> 1:25:33.280
<v Speaker 1>that is essentially now Remember, I understand this is not

1:25:33.400 --> 1:25:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Amazon's fault per se, because people are bringing these devices

1:25:36.840 --> 1:25:40.200
<v Speaker 1>into their homes. They know that they're open, open microphones.

1:25:41.240 --> 1:25:43.320
<v Speaker 1>But everyone should be very uncomfortable with the idea of

1:25:43.360 --> 1:25:47.439
<v Speaker 1>an open microphone in their home. I'm uncomfortable enough with

1:25:48.120 --> 1:25:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the smartphones that we currently have and the fact that

1:25:50.479 --> 1:25:52.479
<v Speaker 1>we know they can be turned on remotely. There was

1:25:52.560 --> 1:25:56.000
<v Speaker 1>that I think it was in Skype or was it

1:25:56.120 --> 1:25:59.519
<v Speaker 1>in FaceTime, where there was a way that you could

1:25:59.560 --> 1:26:02.320
<v Speaker 1>conference in people and you could turn on the video

1:26:02.920 --> 1:26:04.640
<v Speaker 1>feature on their phone even if they didn't want it.

1:26:04.680 --> 1:26:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is all very real, and it's just

1:26:08.080 --> 1:26:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a reminder that there are always going to be

1:26:10.080 --> 1:26:14.799
<v Speaker 1>tradeoffs with technology. Sometimes the tradeoffs are are very minimal

1:26:14.880 --> 1:26:17.160
<v Speaker 1>on the downside, but there's always some kind of a tradeoff.

1:26:17.200 --> 1:26:19.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, whoever used to make buggy whips. Is pretty

1:26:19.080 --> 1:26:22.720
<v Speaker 1>bummed out now that people are making car engines. But

1:26:23.360 --> 1:26:26.320
<v Speaker 1>when you're talking about the surveillance realm and the self

1:26:26.560 --> 1:26:29.240
<v Speaker 1>surveillance that we are doing now, the people, you know,

1:26:29.360 --> 1:26:32.519
<v Speaker 1>the Founding Fathers, and I like to remind everybody of this,

1:26:32.720 --> 1:26:35.839
<v Speaker 1>the Founding Fathers were concerned about general warrants. A general

1:26:35.920 --> 1:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>warrant required an actual agent of the British government to

1:26:42.400 --> 1:26:46.519
<v Speaker 1>go in and look through your stuff and you know,

1:26:46.720 --> 1:26:49.120
<v Speaker 1>rifle through your papers and your personal effects. And that

1:26:49.320 --> 1:26:54.440
<v Speaker 1>really upset the colonials, right. That got the our forefathers

1:26:54.680 --> 1:26:57.400
<v Speaker 1>in quite a their breaches got into a twist, if

1:26:57.439 --> 1:27:01.880
<v Speaker 1>you will. But now what you have, our government agencies

1:27:01.960 --> 1:27:06.439
<v Speaker 1>and government and private agencies as well have far more

1:27:06.560 --> 1:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>access and information about us than anybody would have thought possible.

1:27:10.120 --> 1:27:14.599
<v Speaker 1>And the Founding Fathers were concerned about the intrusion into

1:27:14.600 --> 1:27:18.000
<v Speaker 1>our private lives when it required an actual human being. Right.

1:27:18.080 --> 1:27:22.040
<v Speaker 1>This is why we have the amendments that we do.

1:27:22.200 --> 1:27:25.920
<v Speaker 1>This is why we have individual protections for individual liberty.

1:27:27.080 --> 1:27:29.280
<v Speaker 1>The ability of the government to intrude into your life

1:27:29.320 --> 1:27:32.720
<v Speaker 1>now is so much magnified from what it was in

1:27:32.800 --> 1:27:37.479
<v Speaker 1>the late in late eighteenth century. And because it's convenience though,

1:27:37.520 --> 1:27:40.360
<v Speaker 1>and because it's associated with what is new and what

1:27:40.600 --> 1:27:45.120
<v Speaker 1>is hip and what is you know, creates wealth, we

1:27:45.200 --> 1:27:46.960
<v Speaker 1>don't always think about the other end of it. So

1:27:47.280 --> 1:27:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm just telling you I am not a I love technology,

1:27:50.840 --> 1:27:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a luddite, but I am somebody who doesn't

1:27:56.040 --> 1:27:59.240
<v Speaker 1>want open microphones. I mean, here's a perfect example. Whenever

1:27:59.360 --> 1:28:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm recording at home, I don't leave. Even though I've

1:28:02.840 --> 1:28:05.599
<v Speaker 1>got some devices set up where I can do radio,

1:28:05.640 --> 1:28:07.479
<v Speaker 1>I can connect radio live if I want to from

1:28:07.520 --> 1:28:12.320
<v Speaker 1>my home. The Freedom hut is is sometimes mobile, but

1:28:12.840 --> 1:28:15.639
<v Speaker 1>I always unplugged. I always told the engineers, I want

1:28:15.640 --> 1:28:17.880
<v Speaker 1>to know how to unplug the microphone. So it is

1:28:18.360 --> 1:28:22.400
<v Speaker 1>from an engineering and electricity standpoint, impossible for this mic

1:28:22.479 --> 1:28:24.680
<v Speaker 1>to be on because I don't want to trust that,

1:28:24.760 --> 1:28:27.400
<v Speaker 1>oh the program is off. Oh maybe the program's on now.

1:28:27.439 --> 1:28:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Now maybe everything I'm doing in my home is being

1:28:29.280 --> 1:28:32.080
<v Speaker 1>recorded on a device. I'm just not okay with it.

1:28:32.240 --> 1:28:34.360
<v Speaker 1>So this story has been a long time in coming.

1:28:34.600 --> 1:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>But you know, people should have known this, really, the

1:28:37.800 --> 1:28:41.000
<v Speaker 1>fact that this is collecting and collecting what you say

1:28:41.120 --> 1:28:44.360
<v Speaker 1>all the time and sifting through it algorithmically. If they're

1:28:44.360 --> 1:28:46.600
<v Speaker 1>sifting through it algorithmically, it means that there is some

1:28:47.240 --> 1:28:50.679
<v Speaker 1>digital storage of what you're saying. And if there's digital

1:28:50.720 --> 1:28:53.000
<v Speaker 1>storage of it, then human beings can hear two folks.

1:28:53.800 --> 1:28:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't even want to know how this is being

1:28:55.360 --> 1:28:59.320
<v Speaker 1>applied in some other countries where we have no expected

1:28:59.360 --> 1:29:01.240
<v Speaker 1>where there is no expectation of privacy, there are no

1:29:01.320 --> 1:29:04.080
<v Speaker 1>First Amendment rights. But perhaps that'll be a conversation for

1:29:04.400 --> 1:29:08.559
<v Speaker 1>another time. Team, Let's talk about a very special day

1:29:08.600 --> 1:29:15.400
<v Speaker 1>today coming up in just a moment. It's a very

1:29:15.520 --> 1:29:18.120
<v Speaker 1>special day to day, folks. No, I don't have a

1:29:18.360 --> 1:29:20.880
<v Speaker 1>family birthday to give a shout out to, but it's

1:29:21.320 --> 1:29:23.680
<v Speaker 1>not quite as cool as that, so maybe now I'm

1:29:23.720 --> 1:29:29.040
<v Speaker 1>disappointing you. But it is National Pet Day, which is

1:29:29.360 --> 1:29:31.320
<v Speaker 1>one of these things where people come up with a

1:29:31.439 --> 1:29:35.240
<v Speaker 1>national day for something. There's like National Banana slug Day,

1:29:35.840 --> 1:29:40.559
<v Speaker 1>National where birkenstocks even though they're outdated since nineteen ninety

1:29:40.600 --> 1:29:42.840
<v Speaker 1>eight day. I mean, there's all kinds of weird days

1:29:42.920 --> 1:29:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that we are supposed to celebrate now, but National Pet

1:29:45.200 --> 1:29:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Day is kind of a fun one because we all

1:29:46.960 --> 1:29:50.759
<v Speaker 1>get to post photos of our little free fluffy fluffy friends,

1:29:51.240 --> 1:29:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean national pet. Now that's assuming I know some

1:29:54.040 --> 1:29:55.280
<v Speaker 1>of you are like Buck. There's a little bit of

1:29:55.320 --> 1:29:58.000
<v Speaker 1>pet bigotry going on here with you. Because maybe my

1:29:58.040 --> 1:30:01.719
<v Speaker 1>pet's not fluffy, Maybe it has gales, maybe it has slime,

1:30:02.040 --> 1:30:05.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe it has fangs and poison that it can inject

1:30:05.360 --> 1:30:07.920
<v Speaker 1>via them. And if the answer to any of those is,

1:30:08.880 --> 1:30:10.840
<v Speaker 1>or if the reality of any of those is that yes,

1:30:10.920 --> 1:30:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that's what you have, I am very curious as to

1:30:14.040 --> 1:30:16.160
<v Speaker 1>some of the decisions you've made up. I always wonder

1:30:16.800 --> 1:30:20.880
<v Speaker 1>why anyone would have a pet tarantula, for example, I

1:30:20.920 --> 1:30:24.000
<v Speaker 1>always remember that from home alone, did terrified ever since

1:30:24.560 --> 1:30:26.599
<v Speaker 1>I would not allow somebody. You know, there are most

1:30:26.640 --> 1:30:28.360
<v Speaker 1>pets that I would allow in my home, even as

1:30:28.360 --> 1:30:31.439
<v Speaker 1>a visitor. Pet tarantula, it's not coming to the house. Sorry,

1:30:31.800 --> 1:30:36.200
<v Speaker 1>not doing it. Tarantulas or the enemy snakes. I also

1:30:36.280 --> 1:30:40.120
<v Speaker 1>hate snakes. I don't understand, and I think that lizard

1:30:40.200 --> 1:30:43.840
<v Speaker 1>brains aren't big enough to form emotional attachments. Some people

1:30:43.840 --> 1:30:45.479
<v Speaker 1>have gotten mad at me. They say my pet turtle

1:30:45.560 --> 1:30:48.080
<v Speaker 1>was very loving. I don't think you can snuggle a

1:30:48.120 --> 1:30:52.200
<v Speaker 1>turtle ps salmonella. So there's that. But let me talk

1:30:52.240 --> 1:30:54.519
<v Speaker 1>to you about the dogs that I had growing or

1:30:54.600 --> 1:30:57.719
<v Speaker 1>in my family at least we had a Boston Terrier

1:30:57.920 --> 1:31:01.879
<v Speaker 1>growing up who was endurable and her name was Dixie.

1:31:02.479 --> 1:31:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Very very cute dog. Boston Terrors to those of you

1:31:05.360 --> 1:31:09.280
<v Speaker 1>who want a compact dog with a tremendous amount of

1:31:09.400 --> 1:31:13.639
<v Speaker 1>energy and spunk, but really sweet and a great temperament.

1:31:13.720 --> 1:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Boston Terrors are really really good. So people that have

1:31:16.400 --> 1:31:18.000
<v Speaker 1>young families in particular, and if you don't have a

1:31:18.040 --> 1:31:20.439
<v Speaker 1>big house in a big yard, I think Boston Terror

1:31:20.560 --> 1:31:23.680
<v Speaker 1>is a great choice. Now my parents, my family up

1:31:23.720 --> 1:31:27.520
<v Speaker 1>in New York. They have a French bulldog named Tulula

1:31:28.120 --> 1:31:31.000
<v Speaker 1>who is very French. One minute she wants to give

1:31:31.040 --> 1:31:33.360
<v Speaker 1>you a kiss. Son's a cheek was the tongue because

1:31:33.400 --> 1:31:36.120
<v Speaker 1>she thinks you're also fantastic. The next minute she cannot

1:31:36.160 --> 1:31:38.280
<v Speaker 1>be found anywhere, actually doesn't want to talk to you.

1:31:38.400 --> 1:31:41.240
<v Speaker 1>She will not respond to your phone callio text message

1:31:42.240 --> 1:31:46.280
<v Speaker 1>because she is French. She's she can be a little

1:31:46.320 --> 1:31:48.800
<v Speaker 1>kois sometimes, so you know, occasionally she wants snuggles and

1:31:48.840 --> 1:31:52.920
<v Speaker 1>then she doesn't want snuggles, and you know then you

1:31:53.040 --> 1:31:55.320
<v Speaker 1>just want those little French bulldogs snuggles all the more.

1:31:56.120 --> 1:31:58.639
<v Speaker 1>But she's a lot of fun. My older brother has

1:31:58.960 --> 1:32:02.320
<v Speaker 1>a pom Rain and that he now again a small dog.

1:32:02.400 --> 1:32:04.000
<v Speaker 1>But if you live in a city, small dogs make

1:32:04.040 --> 1:32:07.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of sense. People that have these large dogs,

1:32:07.280 --> 1:32:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, you don't want a Rhodesian ridge

1:32:10.080 --> 1:32:12.040
<v Speaker 1>back if you're living in a four hundred square foot

1:32:12.080 --> 1:32:15.200
<v Speaker 1>studio in Murray Hill. I'm just saying, folks, it's not

1:32:15.280 --> 1:32:17.240
<v Speaker 1>a good idea. I see people that do this, and

1:32:17.360 --> 1:32:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I go, you know, you got to think about the

1:32:19.680 --> 1:32:22.720
<v Speaker 1>breed that you're going to be bringing into your home.

1:32:23.680 --> 1:32:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not bringing up the pit bull thing because I

1:32:25.439 --> 1:32:29.120
<v Speaker 1>know people are so and that's like bringing up vaccines.

1:32:29.200 --> 1:32:32.759
<v Speaker 1>People are very passionate on both sides of that discussion.

1:32:33.240 --> 1:32:35.519
<v Speaker 1>I've known some lovely pit bulls. I also think that

1:32:36.160 --> 1:32:38.800
<v Speaker 1>animals that are much more powerful and have more powerful jaws,

1:32:38.840 --> 1:32:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you have a smaller margin for error if they're not.

1:32:41.320 --> 1:32:44.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, someone's Chihuahua is a biter. It's very different

1:32:44.439 --> 1:32:46.720
<v Speaker 1>than someone's eighty pound pit is a biter. But I

1:32:46.800 --> 1:32:48.880
<v Speaker 1>know people get mad they say pit bulls are wonderful pets.

1:32:48.960 --> 1:32:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I've I've missed. I've you know, I've known pit bulls.

1:32:52.280 --> 1:32:55.960
<v Speaker 1>So and then there's the other thing that I always

1:32:55.960 --> 1:32:59.760
<v Speaker 1>find so interesting about the pet world, and this is

1:32:59.760 --> 1:33:01.160
<v Speaker 1>make me want to get a dog, really about And

1:33:01.240 --> 1:33:03.519
<v Speaker 1>my dream dog is an English bulldog. No, I want

1:33:03.520 --> 1:33:06.000
<v Speaker 1>an English bulldog. I'm gonna get one one day. I

1:33:06.040 --> 1:33:07.960
<v Speaker 1>already have ten different names picked out for him or her.

1:33:07.960 --> 1:33:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure which I'm gonna go with. But that

1:33:10.800 --> 1:33:17.479
<v Speaker 1>the for the four legged animals, obviously the most popular dogs,

1:33:17.520 --> 1:33:21.280
<v Speaker 1>then cats. I think that's right, isn't it. Yeah, thirty

1:33:21.320 --> 1:33:24.519
<v Speaker 1>six percent of us households own a dog, thirty percent

1:33:25.120 --> 1:33:30.080
<v Speaker 1>own a cat. Now that's of I think that must

1:33:30.120 --> 1:33:32.920
<v Speaker 1>be of people that have a pet, thirty per thirty six.

1:33:32.960 --> 1:33:34.760
<v Speaker 1>So basically a third of pet owners have dogs, a

1:33:34.840 --> 1:33:36.880
<v Speaker 1>third of pet owners have cats, and then it's broken

1:33:36.920 --> 1:33:39.800
<v Speaker 1>down between the rest. But you know what, the John,

1:33:39.840 --> 1:33:42.640
<v Speaker 1>what's the most popular four legged pet that's not a

1:33:42.720 --> 1:33:49.320
<v Speaker 1>dog or a cat? Hamlin close, very good, guess it's

1:33:49.320 --> 1:33:56.680
<v Speaker 1>actually ferrets. It's actually a ferret. Nope, John, Actually, I'm

1:33:56.680 --> 1:33:59.920
<v Speaker 1>looking at the stats right now. I lied turns out

1:34:00.120 --> 1:34:02.680
<v Speaker 1>that it's you're right. Look at that job. You're right,

1:34:02.720 --> 1:34:05.360
<v Speaker 1>it is a hamster. Ferrets are number five on the list,

1:34:06.040 --> 1:34:09.240
<v Speaker 1>after hamsters and guinea pigs, so I've never ceased to

1:34:09.320 --> 1:34:24.759
<v Speaker 1>impress John amazing stuff. Roll call is up next, Team Buck,

1:34:25.320 --> 1:34:31.920
<v Speaker 1>It's time for roll call. All right, let's get to

1:34:32.040 --> 1:34:34.599
<v Speaker 1>some roll call. I feel like it's been so long.

1:34:34.680 --> 1:34:38.599
<v Speaker 1>It's been a full twenty four hours since the roll

1:34:38.680 --> 1:34:43.080

<v Speaker 1>appreciate the effort, although don't do it. Some of your

1:35:10.040 --> 1:35:14.760
<v Speaker 1>thoughts Sean Right's afternoon, Buck. I read that Congress is

1:35:14.800 --> 1:35:18.439
<v Speaker 1>thinking of giving themselves a pay raise again. How about

1:35:18.479 --> 1:35:20.599
<v Speaker 1>the state that represents them have to vote for pay

1:35:20.680 --> 1:35:24.800
<v Speaker 1>raises and or reductions? Could you use your swampy connections

1:35:24.840 --> 1:35:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to see if this can really become a reality. Shielty

1:35:28.640 --> 1:35:33.479
<v Speaker 1>Shan an original real news fan Wow real News from

1:35:33.680 --> 1:35:37.280
<v Speaker 1>back in the day. Sean that is going on eight

1:35:37.800 --> 1:35:41.960
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Isn't that pretty astonishing turn of events. Eight

1:35:42.040 --> 1:35:44.920
<v Speaker 1>years ago was when we or I think that's right,

1:35:45.240 --> 1:35:48.120
<v Speaker 1>launched the Real News Show on the Blaze, and that

1:35:48.240 --> 1:35:51.719
<v Speaker 1>was a great show. I still think that Glennbeck doesn't

1:35:51.760 --> 1:35:54.760
<v Speaker 1>get enough credit to this day for what he did

1:35:55.520 --> 1:35:59.160
<v Speaker 1>for conservative media in this country. He set up a

1:35:59.320 --> 1:36:02.800
<v Speaker 1>place where people like me who had no previous media

1:36:02.840 --> 1:36:06.519
<v Speaker 1>training could go and get world class media training. I mean,

1:36:06.640 --> 1:36:10.599
<v Speaker 1>have really top executives running a company where you also

1:36:10.680 --> 1:36:13.240
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of freedom to maneuver, a lot of

1:36:13.320 --> 1:36:16.320
<v Speaker 1>ability to try you try your hand to different things.

1:36:16.400 --> 1:36:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean when I was the Blaze, I was doing radio,

1:36:18.600 --> 1:36:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I was doing podcast, I was doing writing for the website,

1:36:22.600 --> 1:36:26.240
<v Speaker 1>wrote an ebook, and did TV every day, all different

1:36:26.280 --> 1:36:29.800
<v Speaker 1>kinds of t panel shows, hosting shows, quick hits as

1:36:29.840 --> 1:36:33.160
<v Speaker 1>a guest. So the Real News was a part of

1:36:33.240 --> 1:36:35.640
<v Speaker 1>that whole effort. And I still think that when you

1:36:35.760 --> 1:36:38.720
<v Speaker 1>look at who came out of the Blaze, either as

1:36:38.760 --> 1:36:42.040
<v Speaker 1>an employee or I know, the Blaze, people say that

1:36:42.040 --> 1:36:43.639
<v Speaker 1>the Blaze is still round Buck, I know, but it's

1:36:43.720 --> 1:36:46.320
<v Speaker 1>different now it's merged with CRTV and now it's the

1:36:46.360 --> 1:36:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Blaze Media. But the original days of the Blaze TV,

1:36:49.680 --> 1:36:55.480
<v Speaker 1>which was GBTV. You had all of your favorite conservatives

1:36:55.560 --> 1:36:57.880
<v Speaker 1>really aged, not all of them, to say, Buck, what

1:36:57.960 --> 1:37:00.960
<v Speaker 1>about so and so? But a big chunk of your

1:37:01.000 --> 1:37:05.439
<v Speaker 1>favorite conservatives age twenty five to four, maybe now more

1:37:05.479 --> 1:37:09.439
<v Speaker 1>like thirty to forty. We're all going through the Blaze

1:37:09.439 --> 1:37:11.080
<v Speaker 1>in different ways a different times. So I'm glad that

1:37:11.160 --> 1:37:13.080
<v Speaker 1>some of you have stuck with me all this time.

1:37:14.400 --> 1:37:17.880
<v Speaker 1>TJ writes, Buck, have you looked much into the firing

1:37:18.040 --> 1:37:22.840
<v Speaker 1>of Palmer Lucky, the Oculus founder from Facebook? Supposedly it

1:37:23.000 --> 1:37:25.400
<v Speaker 1>was performance Base, but there's a lot of evidence to

1:37:25.439 --> 1:37:28.439
<v Speaker 1>suggest otherwise, and in fact was likely because of his

1:37:28.479 --> 1:37:31.200
<v Speaker 1>support for Trump, plus a lot of other shady, possibly

1:37:31.240 --> 1:37:35.360
<v Speaker 1>illegal stuff by Facebook. Blake Harris is the author of

1:37:35.439 --> 1:37:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the book The History of the Future that chronicles this story,

1:37:39.439 --> 1:37:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and was on Beck's radio show podcast yesterday talking about it.

1:37:42.960 --> 1:37:44.760
<v Speaker 1>You should see if you can get him on your

1:37:44.840 --> 1:37:48.400
<v Speaker 1>show or on Rising to discuss ps. His book has

1:37:48.439 --> 1:37:52.360
<v Speaker 1>skyrocketed up the bestseller's list since his appearance on Beck's show.

1:37:53.600 --> 1:37:57.400
<v Speaker 1>That's really interesting, TJ. I don't know anything about this,

1:37:57.600 --> 1:38:01.960
<v Speaker 1>so I'll have to look into a little bit. Oculus, huh.

1:38:02.479 --> 1:38:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I always think of oculus and confuse it with We're

1:38:05.680 --> 1:38:07.439
<v Speaker 1>not confuse it with But I think of the show

1:38:08.000 --> 1:38:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Silicon Valley where they have the guy who says octopus

1:38:13.560 --> 1:38:16.840
<v Speaker 1>when he means oculus, and he has a whole Yeah,

1:38:17.160 --> 1:38:20.960
<v Speaker 1>he has. There's I can't explain it other than that, David,

1:38:21.640 --> 1:38:23.120
<v Speaker 1>that was a weird anecdote, I know. But if you

1:38:23.200 --> 1:38:25.800
<v Speaker 1>watch Silicon Valley, you're like, I know what he's talking about,

1:38:26.640 --> 1:38:30.840
<v Speaker 1>David rod Shield's I buck ted Lu's obvious misrepresentation of

1:38:30.880 --> 1:38:34.040
<v Speaker 1>what Cannis Owens right after he played the clip said

1:38:34.160 --> 1:38:36.800
<v Speaker 1>was jaw dropping. Lou wants people to think that what

1:38:36.960 --> 1:38:40.360
<v Speaker 1>made Hitler amaniac was the nationalist part of national socialism,

1:38:40.760 --> 1:38:44.520
<v Speaker 1>probably because he knows his own party is currently infested

1:38:44.600 --> 1:38:48.400
<v Speaker 1>with anti Semitic socialists who want global power without borders.

1:38:48.840 --> 1:38:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Sounds familiar, Well, David, I you know, I know that

1:38:54.240 --> 1:38:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats really do believe because they've been they've been

1:38:58.120 --> 1:39:00.639
<v Speaker 1>brainwashed into thinking this, and they've been told this by many,

1:39:00.720 --> 1:39:04.800
<v Speaker 1>many people, that national socialism had nothing to do with socialism.

1:39:05.640 --> 1:39:06.920
<v Speaker 1>This is where I would tell you to check out

1:39:06.960 --> 1:39:09.559
<v Speaker 1>the book The Nazi War on Cancer, and there are

1:39:09.760 --> 1:39:14.520
<v Speaker 1>there is a lot of a lot of different programs

1:39:14.600 --> 1:39:19.120
<v Speaker 1>put in place by the National Socialists that would now

1:39:19.160 --> 1:39:25.360
<v Speaker 1>you have to put put aside the you know, the racial, genocidal,

1:39:25.600 --> 1:39:28.200
<v Speaker 1>all those components of it for a moment. I'm just

1:39:28.280 --> 1:39:30.720
<v Speaker 1>saying there are other programs within the Nazi state that

1:39:30.840 --> 1:39:34.760
<v Speaker 1>were very clearly socialists. That's why they're called the National Socialists.

1:39:35.680 --> 1:39:38.280
<v Speaker 1>So they can try as much as they want to

1:39:38.439 --> 1:39:43.040
<v Speaker 1>remove that component. But the Nazi Party, the National Socialists

1:39:43.040 --> 1:39:46.439
<v Speaker 1>were in fact collectivists. They were socialists. They were making

1:39:46.520 --> 1:39:50.639
<v Speaker 1>war on the Lutheran Church in Germany. They were fighting

1:39:50.800 --> 1:39:53.320
<v Speaker 1>with communists, not because they hate communism so much, but

1:39:53.360 --> 1:39:58.400
<v Speaker 1>because communists and National Socialists were fighting over the same recruits.

1:39:58.720 --> 1:40:03.000
<v Speaker 1>They're fighting over the same groups of people in the streets,

1:40:03.040 --> 1:40:06.439
<v Speaker 1>so to speak. And that's so they were rivals. They

1:40:06.520 --> 1:40:09.960
<v Speaker 1>were not ideological opposites. That's not the same thing. And

1:40:10.120 --> 1:40:16.080
<v Speaker 1>one of the shortcomings even for devoted, devoted socialists, one

1:40:16.120 --> 1:40:18.280
<v Speaker 1>of the shortcomings of and this is the reason why

1:40:18.320 --> 1:40:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you have the Communist Internationale, and one of the things

1:40:22.840 --> 1:40:25.360
<v Speaker 1>they realized was going to be problematic is that people,

1:40:25.479 --> 1:40:28.080
<v Speaker 1>even if they have a unifying global ideology, they like

1:40:28.240 --> 1:40:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the idea of belonging to a nation. People think of themselves.

1:40:32.200 --> 1:40:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Sure they want to be socialists, but they want to

1:40:33.840 --> 1:40:38.320
<v Speaker 1>be you know, Dutch socialists and German socialists and Spanish socialists, etc.

1:40:38.840 --> 1:40:40.800
<v Speaker 1>They don't necessarily just want to be part of this

1:40:41.120 --> 1:40:44.840
<v Speaker 1>world workers movement, because we need a greater sense of

1:40:44.960 --> 1:40:50.160
<v Speaker 1>identity than that. Karen rights. Some of the new ads,

1:40:50.280 --> 1:40:53.160
<v Speaker 1>especially during the podcast, are uninteresting, but they pay the

1:40:53.200 --> 1:40:54.880
<v Speaker 1>bills so I can live with them. Karen, thank you

1:42:33.920 --> 1:42:35.679
<v Speaker 1>gonna try to find a happy medium here. I'm gonna

1:42:35.680 --> 1:42:37.040
<v Speaker 1>talk to my team and see if we can get

1:42:37.160 --> 1:42:39.880
<v Speaker 1>some stuff set up so that we you know, we're

1:42:39.920 --> 1:42:42.880
<v Speaker 1>in a place now where yeah, we need to have ADS,

1:42:42.920 --> 1:42:44.840
<v Speaker 1>but I want, I obviously want the user experience to

1:42:44.920 --> 1:42:50.320
<v Speaker 1>be optimal. Oh, Bruce, whenever it starts out like this,

1:42:50.479 --> 1:42:52.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, I got trouble. It's not often I disagree

1:42:52.520 --> 1:42:55.240
<v Speaker 1>with you, but I honestly do not believe Mitch McConnell

1:42:55.240 --> 1:42:57.680
<v Speaker 1>deserves credit for holding off Garland or his support of

1:42:57.760 --> 1:43:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Judge Kavanaugh. That is simply what he was elected to do,

1:43:01.400 --> 1:43:04.680
<v Speaker 1>besides do nothing, or the opposite would have been political suicide.

1:43:05.040 --> 1:43:07.599
<v Speaker 1>Picking Kavanaugh was not one of the present's finest moments.

1:43:07.640 --> 1:43:12.639
<v Speaker 1>There were far more conservative picks just saying, mm, you know, Bruce,

1:43:12.720 --> 1:43:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'll see your disagreement and raise

1:43:15.880 --> 1:43:19.400
<v Speaker 1>you a disagreement. I think that you know, Mitch McConnell

1:43:19.479 --> 1:43:21.559
<v Speaker 1>has been willing on and I'm not some big Mitch

1:43:21.640 --> 1:43:25.840
<v Speaker 1>McConnell fan bookshexterns are fantastic radio or host, and I

1:43:26.000 --> 1:43:29.040
<v Speaker 1>wanted him to always be the best own radio. I

1:43:29.439 --> 1:43:32.480
<v Speaker 1>think Mitch McConnell, you know, in some ways, really typifies

1:43:32.520 --> 1:43:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the Republican establishment and does occasionally have some rhino tendencies

1:43:36.479 --> 1:43:39.760
<v Speaker 1>depends on the topic. But on the issue of conservative judges, man,

1:43:39.800 --> 1:43:44.840
<v Speaker 1>he's been a beast. He has been getting those nominations through.

1:43:45.280 --> 1:43:48.720
<v Speaker 1>He's he was willing to fight fire with fire and

1:43:50.240 --> 1:43:54.080
<v Speaker 1>refuse to allow Democrats to continue their obstruction. So it's

1:43:54.080 --> 1:43:57.000
<v Speaker 1>all real stuff. They're folks, That's that's all real m.

1:43:57.160 --> 1:43:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I I mean, look, Bruce, you're entitled to your opinion.

1:43:58.920 --> 1:44:00.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm entitled the mine on this one. And I see

1:44:00.560 --> 1:44:02.519
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying. We just have different standards for what's

1:44:02.560 --> 1:44:05.799
<v Speaker 1>worthy of applause. Your point is that's what he's supposed

1:44:05.840 --> 1:44:09.439
<v Speaker 1>to do, So that's the way it should be. And

1:44:09.640 --> 1:44:11.960
<v Speaker 1>my sense of it is these days, if you're a

1:44:12.000 --> 1:44:15.000
<v Speaker 1>politician and you just meet the bare minimum standard of

1:44:15.040 --> 1:44:16.720
<v Speaker 1>what we want from you, that puts you in a

1:44:16.800 --> 1:44:21.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of class by yourself. Brian. Hold on a second, Brian,

1:44:22.080 --> 1:44:25.400
<v Speaker 1>here you go, hey, brother, great ran on taxes tonight.

1:44:25.400 --> 1:44:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I gave up trying to figure out a long time

1:44:27.000 --> 1:44:28.680
<v Speaker 1>ago and simply pay a company to do it for

1:44:28.840 --> 1:44:31.120
<v Speaker 1>me and tell me where to sign. That said, My

1:44:31.200 --> 1:44:33.160
<v Speaker 1>wife and I finally purchased a home last year for

1:44:33.240 --> 1:44:36.640
<v Speaker 1>a young family. Congratulations, Brian. Oh, Unfortunately, we had to

1:44:36.680 --> 1:44:38.080
<v Speaker 1>pull from our four O one K to help with

1:44:38.120 --> 1:44:41.000
<v Speaker 1>a down payment. Oh, the irs charge just more than

1:44:41.040 --> 1:44:43.200
<v Speaker 1>ten thousand dollars over last year's taxes for it. Just

1:44:43.280 --> 1:44:44.880
<v Speaker 1>when I think I'm getting out of debt, they pull

1:44:45.000 --> 1:44:49.160
<v Speaker 1>me back in. It's just so gosh darn intentionally confusing

1:44:49.200 --> 1:44:52.280
<v Speaker 1>to retain the ability to get you on anything, praying

1:44:52.400 --> 1:44:54.320
<v Speaker 1>for a flat tax on assets. I leave you with

1:44:54.360 --> 1:44:56.080
<v Speaker 1>a quote from Einstein. The hardest thing in the world

1:44:56.200 --> 1:45:01.200
<v Speaker 1>is to understand income taxes. It's a legit quote. Come on, dude, No, really, no,

1:45:01.320 --> 1:45:04.800
<v Speaker 1>it's not. No, it's not. That's like Abraham Lincoln says,

1:45:05.280 --> 1:45:07.400
<v Speaker 1>don't believe everything that you hear on the internet. You know,

1:45:07.479 --> 1:45:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't buy that one. But Brian, I

1:45:09.160 --> 1:45:10.879
<v Speaker 1>hear you on the taxes man, it's out of control.

1:45:11.479 --> 1:45:16.840
<v Speaker 1>People need to get a grip and stop allowing for

1:45:17.040 --> 1:45:18.840
<v Speaker 1>us to all get ripped off by the government the

1:45:18.880 --> 1:45:20.840
<v Speaker 1>way that we do. And look, it's corruption. I mean,

1:45:20.920 --> 1:45:22.680
<v Speaker 1>that's why the tax code is the way it is

1:45:22.760 --> 1:45:26.639
<v Speaker 1>because of corruption. This is very, very straightforward. Katie writes Buck.

1:45:26.680 --> 1:45:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I love your passion, Katie. I love your love of

1:45:28.880 --> 1:45:32.000
<v Speaker 1>passion when you're really feeling it. Lately, your voice gets gruff.

1:45:32.040 --> 1:45:33.799
<v Speaker 1>It makes me nervous for anyone next in the studio.

1:45:33.840 --> 1:45:36.040
<v Speaker 1>But I know you're being real. I was wondering if

1:45:36.040 --> 1:45:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago pd can sue Smolette for the cost of

1:45:38.640 --> 1:45:41.959
<v Speaker 1>his fraudulent case. Don't I have standing as a taxpayer

1:45:42.000 --> 1:45:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to sue the DNC and just Department for the twenty

1:45:44.040 --> 1:45:46.800
<v Speaker 1>six million dollars spent on the Russian investigation. I want

1:45:46.840 --> 1:45:49.360
<v Speaker 1>my money back, Katie. I hear you in principle, but

1:45:49.400 --> 1:45:52.720
<v Speaker 1>your share of the Russian investigation would probably be, you know,

1:45:53.360 --> 1:45:55.439
<v Speaker 1>less than a penny, and same with mine, because there's

1:45:55.439 --> 1:45:56.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of his paying taxes. But I hear what

1:45:57.040 --> 1:46:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, and I do think that Smolette should be

1:46:00.360 --> 1:46:02.680
<v Speaker 1>forced to pay back the money that he costs the

1:46:02.720 --> 1:46:05.720
<v Speaker 1>city of Chicago. But I'm I think Smilllette might get

1:46:05.720 --> 1:46:08.160
<v Speaker 1>off totally, totally scott free in this whole thing, which

1:46:08.240 --> 1:46:12.080
<v Speaker 1>is appalling. All right, Team Tomorrow Freestyle Friday, looking forward

1:46:12.120 --> 1:46:14.479
<v Speaker 1>to it. I'll talk to you then, Shields High
