1 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt with a brilliantense spirited defense. 2 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh fought back so that now he's still in supreme 3 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: tension with an assist from Senator Lindsey Graham. But the 4 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: GOP has dealt itself a bit of an unwarranted blow, 5 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: my friends, a week long delay for an FBI investigation 6 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: into the Kavanaugh situation. We will dive into this together 7 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: coming up. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the 8 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: mission or mission is to decode what really matters with 9 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: actionable intelligence, no mistake American. Let grant you're a great 10 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: American again. The Buck Sexton Show begins an not saying that. 11 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: Let me say again, I'm not making I can't make 12 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: that commitment for the leadership. I can only say that 13 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: I would be only comfortable moving forward on the floor. 14 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: I'll move it out of committee, but I will only 15 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: be comfortable moving on the floor until the FBI has 16 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: done more investigation than they have already. UM, it may 17 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: not take them a week. I understand that some of 18 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: these witnesses may not want to discuss anything further, but 19 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: I think we're we owe them due diligence. I'm gonna 20 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: rely on uh All of the people, including Senator grass Lee, 21 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: who's doing a very good job. That'll be a decision 22 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: that they're going to make, and they suspect they'll be 23 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: making some decision soon, whether to take a vote or 24 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: to do whatever else they want to do. I will 25 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: be totally reliant on what Senator Grassley and the group 26 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: decides to do. Welcome to the Buck Saxton Show. We 27 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: got flaked. We got flaked. I knew it would happen, um, 28 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: because I've been saying it for weeks and he said 29 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: this morning, you know he was gonna vote for Kavanaugh. 30 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: And I knew it was too good to be true, 31 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: too too much courage. And the guy is a sniveling 32 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: little coward. You can't get him out of the Senate 33 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: fast enough. So after all that, folks, after all the hearings, 34 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: dozens of hours of hearings and questions and interviews and 35 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: background checks and all this stuff, all the flood the 36 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: zone media coverage, now Republicans have to go through another 37 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: week of this nonsense. Now here's the here's the basic 38 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: premise that the problem is that you've got you know, 39 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: Murkowski and Collins and and Flake and you know who 40 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: are there's something. There's one or two others that are 41 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: saying that they want you know that they wouldn't have 42 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: voted for him. So they said, basically, they didn't have 43 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: the votes unless this FBI investigation happens, which is no 44 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: one's even clear really what this investigation is. You know what, 45 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: you know what I do. If I'm Mark Judge two, 46 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: try and get through this as quickly as possible. I 47 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: would probably just read to the FBI the sworn statement 48 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: that I've already signed and sent to the Senate. So 49 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: the FBI shows up and say we want to ask 50 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: you questions, I'd be like, here is my statement. I 51 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: will read it to you. That is my cooperation. Now 52 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: please leave. People either don't understand or more likely with 53 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: these Senate Democrats and this, this has all been planned. 54 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: This is all part of the game. Um is that 55 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, is that they will act like they're being 56 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: they're they're trying for just something reasonable here. I promise 57 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: you they're going to change. I promise you they will 58 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: not honor their end of this. And this has been 59 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: the purpose of this all along, as we know, has 60 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: been delayed, and it's enraging eight. It makes me furious 61 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: and I would say that the g O. P is 62 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: uh you know, is to blame and blame in his 63 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: spinless But it was just a couple of them, just 64 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: like with the repeal of Obamacare, just a couple of them. 65 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: This one, I think the stakes are actually much higher. 66 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: This is about national honor. This is about what kind 67 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: of country we live in. Do we want to live 68 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: in a country where accusation with massive political motivation, timed 69 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: in such a way to do the most damage possible 70 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: with no corroboration, and in fact all the facts pointing 71 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: against the claim is enough to ruin somebody's life and 72 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: destroy them and derail their career. That is what that 73 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: is really what is at stake here. There is not 74 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: a shred of evidence, not one piece of evidence to 75 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: tie Brett Kavanaugh to the Professor Ford allegations. There's nothing. 76 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: And yet we had a few Republicans who because they 77 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: were cornered and we'll talk about how Flake got cornered 78 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: an elevator and just you know, skewed and yelled at 79 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: by women who were who were truly hysteric call I 80 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: mean they were crying and yelling and screaming at him. Um. 81 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: But they they caved on this one. The Democrats are radicals. 82 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: Democrats are really progressive fundamentalists. That's what you see here. 83 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: They are all in on power. That is what matters 84 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: to them. There is really no justification for this delay, 85 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: and I am telling you right now it is very 86 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: likely that we will look back on this and say 87 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: to ourselves, how could they have been so foolish? How 88 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: could they have been so stupid? The good news is 89 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: that Brett Kavanaugh, to anybody who who is being reasonable 90 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: about any of this, has more than defended himself successfully. 91 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: I mean, to me, Brett Kavanaugh has has cleared his name. 92 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: I don't believe the allegations against him. I haven't believed 93 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: them before I heard all the testimony. I don't believe it. 94 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: And they've been calling for this delay, delayed to lay. 95 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: Now it matters quite a bit more, doesn't it That 96 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: Professor Ford or her lawyers on her behalf lied about 97 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: her fear of flying, lied about it for one purpose 98 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: and one purpose only, delay so they could roll out 99 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: other accusations, turn up the heat here. And now we're told, 100 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: oh no, we just want the FBI investigation. Let me 101 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: tell you this, and I am certain of it. As 102 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: we go through next week, there will be a campaign 103 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: of sliming and innuendo and personal destruction that just makes 104 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: us all sick to our stomachs. Be prepared for it's 105 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: going to get even worse. How I can't even really 106 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: come in then, And I'll talk to you later about 107 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: what I think some of the possible avenues are. They 108 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: may go, but it's going to get even worse and 109 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: uglier and more depraved and evil. That's coming up. That's 110 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: now with this one week, this one week, and I 111 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: just gives them more room to do what they've already done. 112 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: And the other part of this that I am as 113 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: lutely confident in and like people say that it's not 114 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: up to the president, but yeah, the President's opening the 115 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: FBI investigation. They didn't have the votes. They had a 116 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: couple of Republicans and a couple of Democrats who are 117 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: on the fence, and they until this FBI thing happens, 118 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: they don't feel like they have the cover to go 119 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: forward and and do this. I would know this would 120 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: never be a problem for the Democrats, meaning the Democrats. 121 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: When something went a major point of ideologies at stake, 122 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 1: the Democrats go in lock step. They vote like the board, 123 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: like some kind of machine entity. They do not have 124 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: any defections. When something that's important to the left is 125 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: at stake, they will do anything, all of them. They 126 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: will lie down in traffic like a bunch of loons. 127 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: And I'm talking about senators. They'll do whatever they have 128 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: to do. Our side, as you see, not so much. 129 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: But I I want you to hear me on this 130 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: because I'm trying to prepare you and myself for this. 131 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: I want you to hear me on this. I think 132 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: it's essential that we're all ready for it. I have 133 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: zero doubts. I mean, I can't see the future, and 134 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: who knows, but I have zero doubt that by Wednesday 135 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: of next week, maybe even as soon as Tuesday, you 136 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: will hear a a concerted across the board rallying cry 137 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: from the left of how dare they think they can 138 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: complete a gang rape investigation in five days? How dare 139 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: they think they're taking these allegations seriously in five days? Now? 140 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: What we've heard for the the week or so leading 141 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: up to this is, oh, the Anita Hill England lasted 142 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: three days. They're being so unreasonable, they're being so unfair. 143 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: Why not just take the time to do the investigation. 144 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: This was the talking point. This was the main talking 145 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: point about process, other than calling Kavanaugh a rapist, which 146 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: is idiotic in a disgrace to say. But they were 147 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: doing that too. It wasn't even accused of rape. But 148 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: I digress. But they will switch from Oh, Anita Hill 149 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: only took three days. Why are they being so unfair 150 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: to how they they can't do this in a week? 151 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: This is an outrage. Just one more week, Just one 152 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: more week, they'll say, And then we'll go forward, and 153 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: they'll have women showing up and shrieking in the faces 154 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,599 Speaker 1: of Mansion and Flake and Murkowski, and they'll have protests 155 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: and flood their own media coverage and all this stuff 156 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: because some people in the GOP can't learn their lesson. 157 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: Because Jeff Flake is a disgusting, sniveling coward, and we 158 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: all know it, and I've known it all along, and 159 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: he is a disgrace. And I do believe that one day, 160 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: when he's near the end, he will look back on 161 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: this and for a moment he will realize that this 162 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: was a street fight, and he left behind people on 163 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: his own side. He decided, he decided to run and 164 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: and and look for help while people were bleeding out 165 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: on the street fighting for what he said was his side. 166 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: You don't want Jeff Lake to have your back in 167 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: a bar fight that much, I can tell you. The 168 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: guy is an absolute coward. But that's what we're heading for. 169 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: We're heading for a two pronged assault next week and 170 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: the whole week. This is what is going to happen 171 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: because of this stupid week long delay. There's nothing we'll 172 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: talk about, how there's nothing even to investigate. In a moment, 173 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: They're going to come at Kavanaugh with all the fury 174 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: of the most frenzied, pink hat wearing, Antifa loving psychopaths, 175 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: all of it. The media is going to amplify it 176 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: and every way they can. They are they have picked 177 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: sides here, we know it. It couldn't be any more clear. 178 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 1: And they are going to say that the time is 179 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: not enough. They begged and begged and begged and pleaded 180 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: and and and cajoled and yelled and threatened and demanded 181 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: that there was just just a little more, just do 182 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: the FBI investigation. When the FBI comes back and says 183 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: this is not enough, this is or rather this is 184 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: the end there's nothing else for us to do. The 185 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: left is going to say, there's more to investigate. How 186 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: dare you think this is over look at Republicans. They 187 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: don't take this seriously. What's the rush. You've already reopened 188 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: the background investigation. What's the rush? That's going to be 189 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: the talking point? They'll forget that. The talking point had been, Oh, 190 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: this will be over quickly, why don't you just do it? 191 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: Just like a few days ago, they were saying, look 192 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: at all the old white men that will be questioning forward, 193 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: and then when they brought in a woman to question forward, 194 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: it was, oh my gosh, these old white men brought 195 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: in a woman to question for it. They don't care, 196 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: my friends. The problem when you're fighting against an enemy 197 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: that has no principles, decency, or honor is that they 198 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of options. They'll say any thing. 199 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: They'll pretend to be honest, they'll pretend to be nice, 200 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: they'll pretend to play ball, they'll do anything to get 201 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: what they want. And when power like this is at stake, 202 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: you see the very worst, the very worst of the 203 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: Democrat Party. I can only hope and this is the 204 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: the most that I can offer in terms of something 205 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: to feel good about with all this, because this is 206 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: a I'm telling you, this is a trap. This week. 207 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: Delay is a disaster. It is a bad idea, and 208 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: it's unfair. It's unfair to the Kavanaugh family, it's unfair 209 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: to the judge, it's unfair to our system. The whole thing. 210 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: This is a disaster. But you know what's going on. 211 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: I know what's going on. The word is out. I 212 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: have not seen conservatives, so I mean conservatives now, and 213 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean across the board. If you are not on 214 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: team Kavanaugh, by the way, you are not a conservative 215 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: at this point. If you're somebody that thinks that this 216 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: should still be going on like this, you cannot call 217 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: yourself a conservative. You are a Democrat or a leftist. 218 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: You are not a conservative. But I have never seen 219 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: conservatives so united and fired up. Some of the fractures 220 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: that we've seen, even with the never trumpers have gone away. 221 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: They realize there's more at stake here than just intra 222 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: party disputes. This is about the character and nature of 223 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: our country and the very system that it relies on, 224 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: so that there is justice and there is decency here 225 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: in America and the roar of the people in this 226 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: country who still believe in that decency on honor and justice, 227 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: I hope will be deafening in the mid terms and 228 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: will drown out the hysterical, shrieking nonsense of the left 229 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: in the best way possible, which is to strip them 230 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: of the power that they are tessed with obtaining. We'll 231 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: get into more of this in just a moment. Stay 232 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: with me. She was totally and completely incompetent in terms 233 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: of asking cross examination question because she has little experience. 234 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: For example, the main issue now is whether or not 235 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: she recognized Kavanaugh correctly. She was never asked whether how 236 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: well she knew him, how many times she encountered him 237 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: before this, how close was their relationship. There was nothing 238 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: that could raise questions about whether, even if she believes 239 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: she's telling the truth, she may have misidentified. So she 240 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: just did a terrible job, and I think the Republicans 241 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: realized that, and they candor right in the middle. But 242 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: it was a very bad choice. Totally agree with the 243 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: dirsh It was a bust. I mean that they could 244 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: have called it. I know, I know, I know female lawyers. 245 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: I mean I wish I would have put my sister 246 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: in there. She wouldn't know a way better job. I 247 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: know female lawyers that would have done an infinitely better 248 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: job then what we saw occurring with Mitchell's career proscot. 249 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: It was like she was taking a victim's statement. Her 250 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: whole approach was what you should do when you were 251 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: taking the statement of somebody who's making allegation in the 252 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: district attorney's office or in a in a police station. 253 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: But that's not what her role was supposed to be. 254 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: Her role was supposed to be. Okay, I'm gonna ask 255 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: you questions to see are you one telling the truth? 256 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: And to do you have enough facts to offer if 257 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: you are telling the truth that we can know that 258 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: this happened. It was. It was terrible. I was shocked 259 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: at how bad it was. And and it was by 260 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: the way, it was one of the reasons why I 261 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: think the perception was that Ford was doing so well 262 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: in this whole thing. She was a total cream puff interview. 263 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: There was nothing she She's never asked the question, no 264 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: really explained to us. Why so everybody that you name 265 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: says that they don't remember this. Why do you you 266 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: remember this? They don't remember this? What are we what 267 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: are we to make of that? Oh, you know, I 268 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: don't really know, and someone was sick or something, She said, 269 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: Why do you not remember the person who took you home? 270 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: Someone had to drive you home. Were you normal in 271 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: the car ride with that person? You wouldn't be. You 272 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: think this terrible thing just happening. Why would you leave 273 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: behind your best friend, who is a fifteen year old 274 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: girl just like you after you think you've almost been 275 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: attacked by two predators who planned this out? Obviously based 276 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: on the way she talked about it. How is it 277 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: that nobody downstairs heard her when she screamed? She said, 278 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: because the music was so loud. That must have been 279 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: quite a speaker system. She's screaming. No one downstairs. A 280 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: small house, there's four maybe five people, She's not sure, 281 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: by the way, who are there. No one hears anything. 282 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: She runs out after she locks herself in the bathroom. 283 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: No one notices anything strange. None of the other people 284 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: they are, including her best friend, who is a girl, 285 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: realizes that she's gone. Suddenly not credible. This story is 286 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: not credible. But I just did a better job cross 287 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: examining her. In two minutes and fifty seconds, Then that 288 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: woman did with you know, however many five minute blocks 289 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: she had. That's why it looks so bad for Cavanaugh. 290 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: There was no opposition, there was nobody else to to 291 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: say a hold on a second. There was just a 292 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: lot of like, you're so brave, You're so brave for 293 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: coming out here. You know, we gotta watch that. You're 294 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: so brave. Stuff is to what was to want a 295 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: brawley so brave? Was she so brave? I just want 296 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: to know should she have been said and told that 297 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: she was brave by you know, every center in the country. 298 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: Media treated that story very seriously. Somebody lost their life 299 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: because of By the way, what they did to Cavanaugh 300 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: is the kind of thing that drives a person to 301 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: take their own life. By the way, that level of 302 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: public humiliation and intentional sadism and character assassination that could 303 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: leave somebody take his own life. That's how I wanted 304 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: to curse there messed up what happened to Kavanaugh was 305 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: and that Mitchell sat there like this, you know, meek 306 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: uh secretary just writing down all the answers that she 307 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: was getting was appalling. They said it sent it Gill Pete, 308 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: they you know, call me man. I thought they had 309 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: staffs at least knew what's going on. A moronic decision 310 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: to have that woman yesterday. I'm glad that Durst called 311 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: it out. But we gotta talk more about the FBI 312 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: investigation that's coming up, that's next, claim opportunities to get 313 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: to the truth. This has never been about the truth. 314 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: This has been about delay and destruction. And if we 315 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: reward this, it is the end of good people wanting 316 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: to be judges. It is the end of any concept 317 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: of the rule of law. It's the beginning of a 318 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: process that will tear this country apart. And if I 319 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: am chairman next year, if we keep the majority and 320 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: Senator Draft Lee moves over, and I hope he doesn't, 321 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: because as I think he's done a great job, I'm 322 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: gonna remember this. There's the process before Kavanaugh, in the 323 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: process after Kavanaugh. If you want to bet the nominee, 324 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: you can. If you want to delay things for the 325 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: next election, you will not. If you try to destroy somebody, 326 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: you will not get away with it. I've never heard 327 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: a more compelling defense of one's honor and integrity than 328 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: I did from Brett Kavanaugh. He looked me in the eye, 329 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: everybody in the eye, and he was mad, and he 330 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: should have been mad. Brett Kavanaugh and women, if you're 331 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: a gang rapist when you're a sophomore and a junior 332 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: in high school, you don't let it go. Every woman 333 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: who actually knows Brett Kavanaugh has come forward to say 334 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: he is not that kind of guy. He has been 335 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: at the highest level of public service under tremendous scrutiny, 336 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: six FBI investigations, and we missed the sophomore junior gang rapist. 337 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: We didn't miss it. It's much garbage. As a prosecutor, 338 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: you couldn't get out of the batter's box because in America, 339 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: before you can shoot, accuse somebody but crime, you have 340 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: to tell them when it happened and where it happened, 341 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: and you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt it 342 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: did happen. The reason this case will never be brought 343 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: in Maryland or anywhere else, you just can't get there. 344 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: Thank you. I know. I'm a single white male from 345 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: South Carolina, and I've told I should shut up, but 346 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: I will not shut up if that's okay, because I 347 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: got here the same way everybody else did. The people 348 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: in South Carolina voted for me and Senator Scott to 349 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: be their voice men and women, and I'm gonna try 350 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: to be their voice today and uh, maybe not just 351 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: for South Carolina, but a little bit about what I 352 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: think is going on here. Team Lindsay, sign me up 353 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: for Team Lindsay. Man, you know, I don't know. What 354 00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: I want to know is how is it that not 355 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: every Republican on the Judiciary Committee has that same fire 356 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: in the belly that he does over this? I think 357 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: Grassley in his own way. I mean he's trying to 358 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: sort of keep it, but Grassly, you know, he throws 359 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: some gruffness around when he has to, but nobody. Ben Sass, 360 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: by the way, what a little quizzling punk. Where is 361 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: he on this? Ben Sass? Mr? Principles, Mr Mr, I'm 362 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: the real conservative, but maybe I'm gonna leave the Republican Party. Mike, 363 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: did you see him do anything up there? I mean 364 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: I can't even remember a single Ben Sas moment where 365 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: I go, oh, he's actually showing something. He hasn't completely 366 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: sold out, forgettable, totally forgettable. It's like, oh, I don't 367 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: want to be the person that people think. It's like 368 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: me and the people who are suffering a trauma that's 369 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: all he's got. It's just it's so funny to see 370 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: when it counts. Man. This is just it's such an 371 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: important life lesson to you really know who's who and 372 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: what's what when things get tough and you look around 373 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: and who's there. That's what I say with with Lindsey Graham, 374 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: and we're really easy to sit back and just be like, well, 375 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: I think she might be believed, and you know, just 376 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: not do much instead, Lindsay. Lindsay made the speech from 377 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: Braveheart before They Take the Field that the Battle of 378 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: sterling Bridge in the movies in the field in reality 379 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: was right out right next to a bridge. The whole 380 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: other thing. Talk with that an other time that did 381 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: some history shows. Again, the Lindsay was, he's just been 382 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: great on this one and and it's uh and I 383 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: think it's so funny too that I saw some left 384 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: wing push back and oh they hate Lindsay Graham now 385 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: they like him, Yeah, because what he did was amazing, right. 386 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I think Senator heron No is a moron, 387 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: not like I don't. I don't like her. I think 388 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: that she's actually stupid. But if she cured cancer next week, 389 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: I would think she's a genius and I would really 390 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: appreciate her. I don't think she's going to do that. 391 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: But with new things comes new judgments. And Lindsey Graham, 392 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: for me, went from a guy who spent a little 393 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: too much time talking about which countries we should bomb 394 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: without really thinking through all the time what was going on, 395 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: to a guy who saw that a man's honor was 396 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: being just just in slow motion like they were. It's 397 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: like they were pulling out his fingernails on TV. It 398 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: was such a disgrace. And he jumped in there and 399 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: he's like, who wants a piece? You know, I'm not 400 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: you know, he said, he's not going to forget. I 401 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: don't think any of us should forget. In terms of 402 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: the Republicans who showed up, who was real. They were 403 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: so scared of looking like they were. They were being 404 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: mean to that mean to that woman. They were so 405 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,959 Speaker 1: scared of being mean to that woman. They almost let 406 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: a flimsy allegation derail the Supreme Court nomination destroy Kavanaugh's life. 407 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: And what what if Trump had come out and said, 408 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna replace him before his testimony. 409 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: Now you're saying that wouldn't have happened. It could have happened. 410 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: We don't even need to hear from it were and 411 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: replace him. Let's let's end this for the country's sake. 412 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: That could have happened. That's how bad the Republicans were 413 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: in that initial hearing with Ford, and thank heavens, Lindsey 414 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: Graham was there, Thank heavens, he was able to make 415 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: the case. Now, dirsh is one of those people that 416 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: says that we should have this background check here. I 417 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: gotta you know the dirst is wrong sometimes, Well, let 418 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: me let me hear what he says before I I 419 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: get too deep into this with him. Play clip five. Please. Well, 420 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: when I watched her, I really thought she was extremely credible, 421 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: and I had grave doubts as to whether he could 422 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: win the credibility contests. But then he made this remarkable comeback, 423 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 1: and he really testified in a completely compelling manner. So 424 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: I think in the end there is a tie when 425 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: it comes to personal credibility. So how do you break 426 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: the tie? I think one way is to for corroboration, 427 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: and he has much more corroboration on his side. Now, 428 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: the best way to make sure that corroboration is accurate 429 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: is for the committee to call the other witnesses and 430 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: let the FBI continue its background check. And I think 431 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: in the end it will do him more good than harm. 432 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: I think I think the dirsh is he's thinking about 433 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: this like a lawyer and not a brawler, and this 434 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: is a brawl. They're they're not going to play by 435 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: the rules. Man. They're not going to just want to 436 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: bring witnesses forward. They're gonna by the way, there's going 437 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: to be intimidation of people who come forward. There's going 438 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: to be enormous pressure. And when it comes forward to 439 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: say maybe just a little something, you know, Mike. One 440 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: thing I've been thinking about is if if she had 441 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: had just one person willing to say the following, yeah, 442 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: I remember that night. I don't remember the details, but 443 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: I remember something. I remember something like that happened, which, 444 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: by the way, completely unfalsifiable statement talking about thirty something 445 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: on years ago. If one of the people that they 446 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: had already asked about this had said, yeah, I think 447 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: something like that happened, he'd be done. Done. All it 448 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: takes is one. Instead, every person they've talked to you 449 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: has been like, I just do not remember anything like that, 450 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: and I would know about this. Um, so keep that 451 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: in mind. I mean, I think that the way we're 452 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: looking at this, it's, oh, we haven't you know, if 453 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: we just keep looking around, we keep digging the fact 454 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: that they haven't already found somebody who's been willing to say, yeah, 455 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: this thing kind of happened. The fact that they don't 456 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: have a person driving her home who can who can 457 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: corroborate this. They don't have her telling her parents right afterwards, 458 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: or her friends or anybody within you know, thirty years 459 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: of the event. They don't have any of the things 460 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 1: that you think would be there that would be just 461 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: all she needs is one one corroborating data point and 462 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: he would have been done. She doesn't have one because 463 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: this didn't happen. But that's you know, people can, and 464 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: I trust me. I've been getting yelled at this, all 465 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: yelled at for this all week. Um, Can I tell 466 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: them what you told me about CNN? By the way, 467 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: I thought that was great, But remember when you called, 468 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: we talked today about CNN. Can I tell the audience 469 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: about this so pruser might calls. We were just chatting, 470 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: catching up and talking before we do the show. He's 471 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: just like, man, I think you said about CNN. He's like, well, 472 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: and I gave him some of the details about who 473 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: it was, what happened. He's like, that's when you know 474 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: you're over the target. Brother. I was like, that's right. 475 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: When cnn' is like, maybe you should be a little 476 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: more careful with your reputation before taking these strong stands, 477 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, I'm getting to you punks over there. 478 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: Huh seeing this in your timeline a little too much? 479 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: People are people are magnifying some of the points I'm 480 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: making to the degree that it's getting up on your 481 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: radar and you don't like it, And that's why you 482 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: know it's time to hit it harder. When se Ann says, stop, 483 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: you're hurting me, that's when you got a swing harder. Oh, 484 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't like it. CNN doesn't like it. Ah, the 485 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: worst they are the worst. Um. I just wanted to 486 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: give a few more points or about the the FBI probe. Um, 487 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: they're already. Well, you get Chris Coons, who's just a grandstanding, 488 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,719 Speaker 1: grandstanding slimeball in this one. Here's what he said about it. 489 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 1: What I'm encouraged by is that in a anti room 490 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: back hall conversation, first with Senator Flake, and then with 491 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: Senator Feinstein, and then with many other senators of both parties. Um, 492 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: there was a broad agreement UM that that this committee 493 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: has been two divided into two partisan in this process. UM, 494 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: and a hope that by having the FBI look into 495 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: these allegations for just a few more days, limited in 496 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: scope and time, that we can both show respect for 497 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: victims who have come forward with allegations and give Judge 498 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh some prospect of his name being cleared in some 499 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: ways before a final vote, and give the members of 500 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: the committee and of the Senate some reason to have 501 00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: more confidence before proceeding to a final vote. Deeply grateful, Senator. 502 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: If you're playing Super Mario Brothers, what is that weird noise? Um? Mario, 503 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you remember what he said there just 504 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: a few days in scope. He is a cold stone liar. 505 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: There is no way, There is no way that next 506 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: week he'll say, Okay, the FBI says they've done their thing. 507 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: That's enough, that's enough. No way. Now we're rewarding bad behavior. 508 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: We are rewarding the Democrat Party as a hostage taker here. 509 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: We're bringing them food and giving them bags of cash 510 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: and saying you're not gonna take hostages again. Right, You're 511 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: not gonna do it. You're promising us you're not gonna 512 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: do it. Total total disgrace. Coons has already trying to 513 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: tip his hand a little bit. There is understandable concern 514 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: on the part of many senators and the other caucus 515 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: that they expressed in our Judiciary Committee meeting um that 516 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: there will simply be additional allegation is coming forward. If 517 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: there are, I think they should be investigated. But what 518 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,719 Speaker 1: Senator Flake has proffered and what I support, is the 519 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: idea that it should be no more than a one 520 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: week delay before a final vote, and that frankly, the 521 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: current allegations um should be sufficient for the FBI to 522 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: give some further input to the members of the committee 523 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: about whether there are or are not reasons for there 524 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: to be some cloud hanging over Judge Kavanaugh's domination. They're 525 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: they're they're open. The door is open, just a little bit. 526 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: It only has to be opened, just just a tiny, 527 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: tiny bit. This is what is going to happen. By 528 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: the way, what do we think of Sheila Jackson Lee 529 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: giving the attorney in envelope. You've seen that video remember 530 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: the house giving giving forwards attorney and like slipping it 531 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: to him kinda, there's so much Mike, you know it, Brandon, 532 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: you know, there's so much dirty going on behind the scenes. 533 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: I'm not saying illegal. I'm just saying there's so much 534 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: dirty tricks and foul play, and if we knew, if 535 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: we were ever able, maybe we will get some sense 536 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: of it, to find out how orchestrated all this was 537 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: behind the scenes and what's been happening here. It would 538 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: make your head spin. I mean, I'm not gonna sit 539 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: here and be like, was Sauros he was behind it though, 540 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: But I mean maybe I know people say that saying 541 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: it's Soros is like is like when the Left blames 542 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: the Koch brothers, except Soros actually does a lot of 543 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: shapy stuff. Like you know, just because you say it's 544 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: Soros doesn't mean it's not true. It doesn't mean you're crazy. 545 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: What I think I could just picture Shield jaccidentally go 546 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: and this is from Georgie Baby for you, for you 547 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: something something very sketchy going on there. So anyway, I'm 548 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: just I'm not I'm noticing that that there are people 549 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: that are starting to think, oh, it's gonna you know, 550 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: it's we're going to the weekend. It's our natural inclination 551 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: to are to take the approach of it's gonna calm down. Nope, everybody, 552 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,479 Speaker 1: get ready for what you have seen, unfortunately is just 553 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: an appetizer of awful. But the evil entree is going 554 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: to get served up and it's gonna be rough. This 555 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: whole two week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated 556 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: political hit, fueled with apparent pent up anger about President 557 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: Trump and the two thousand and sixteen election, fear that 558 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on 559 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: behalf of the Clintons, and millions of dollars in money 560 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: from outside left wing opposition groups. This is a circus. 561 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: The consequences will extend long past my nomination. The consequences 562 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: will be with us for decades. This grotesque and coordinated 563 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: character assassination will dissuade competent and good people of all 564 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:14,479 Speaker 1: political persuasions from serving our country. And, as we all know, 565 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: in the United States political system of the early two thousand's, 566 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: what goes around comes around. Remember those words of Kavanaugh, 567 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: don't forget about it, and I don't want you to 568 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: just spread the word by sharing this show.

The story 645 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: that we've been told is that she came forward because 646 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 1: of all the trauma and it was her civic duty. 647 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: The reality is there were big, heavy hitter, deep pocket 648 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: Democrat donors, fixers and politicos who were all over this thing, 649 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,359 Speaker 1: all over it and if it was a criminal investigation, 650 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: by the way, we might actually be able to do 651 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 1: things like subpoena emails and communications. But they know it's not. 652 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: It's a background check, so we're never gonna see who 653 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,359 Speaker 1: she talked to.

People say, oh buck, she wouldn't, Line wrote, Okay, 655 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure that they were smart at her legal team, 656 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: as you saw from them sitting there. We're smart enough 657 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,760 Speaker 1: to make sure that they we're running all the ops 658 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 1: for her and keeping her just in the dark enough 659 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: that she could keep this whole sort of Oh, I 660 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on, this kind of naive. I'm 661 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: just doing my civic duty routine. Dude. They that's what 662 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:40,319 Speaker 1: the beach friends bull crap. There's no way, there's no 663 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: way that that is actually that that's just how this 664 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: all came together here. Oh yeah, they just paid for 665 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 1: her polygraph. Let me tell you something about lawyers. Okay, 666 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: lawyers don't just show up and start paying for things 667 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: for you just because not not not to be mean 668 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: to any lawyers. I got a family member who's one, 669 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: But I've never heard of a lawyer who's like, not 670 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 1: only am I doing this pro bono. I'm going to 671 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: cover your expenses. They're covering her expenses. That's why the 672 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: whole polygraph thing, you know, she's like, I don't know 673 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: who paid for the polygraph. That's significant. Mike. Do you 674 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: think that if you were, if you were testifying before Congress, 675 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: they would pay for your stuff? No, I don't think so. 676 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: I don't think that would happen. And I mentioned to 677 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: you yesterday about her beach friends um from Santa Cruz 678 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,320 Speaker 1: Is where they're talking about, which is one of the 679 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: most leftist, progressive radical cities possibly in the United States. 680 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: I mean, she's obviously a progressive radical by by the way, 681 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,240 Speaker 1: I actually know the stats on this in the medical profession, 682 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: and she's not an m D. So I do this 683 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: whole calling her doctor thing all the time gets a 684 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: little old. She's a professor, she has a PhD. But 685 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 1: getting a PhD in psychology is you know, it's it's 686 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: a thing. Okay, But I mean, I'm just I'll leave 687 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: it there. But she but but psychology in particular, of 688 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 1: all of the academic medical disciplines is by far the 689 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: most left wing. It's like in the pent range is 690 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: basically what you get with college professors that psychiatrists and 691 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: psychologists are overwhelmingly left wing. Surgeons, interestingly enough, are actually 692 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: generally uh they skew a little conservative because they fixed 693 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: stuff and there's no like, oh, like the guy's heart 694 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: stopped pumping. But you know, I tried, you know what 695 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: I mean, Like there's real cause and effect and consequence, 696 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: and there's a kind of swagger to it, whereas you 697 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: know people that are it's like why they dominate the 698 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: social sciences too. There there there's no science in the 699 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,399 Speaker 1: social sciences anyway. So here's why I bring up though 700 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: this the sweat nick allegations as as a part of 701 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,919 Speaker 1: all is I mean, the reason I wanted to spend 702 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of time on that with you is 703 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,800 Speaker 1: if you think that's bad and and here's another prediction. 704 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: And as folks know, and I'm trying to scale back them, 705 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: I wasn't I right? Wasn't I right? All right? I 706 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 1: take these things to heart, but I am write a 707 00:40:55,719 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: lot uh next week, Mike, this stuff that they're gonna 708 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: come out with about that, it's going to be there 709 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: because they don't care. Right at this point, they've already 710 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: thrown up. The media is thrown away all credibility. They're 711 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: not objective about all this stuff. They'll they'll run a 712 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: story about how Kavanaugh used to torture animals when he 713 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: was eight. Can you prove he didn't torture Fluffy the 714 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: poodle down the block? No, why don't you want an 715 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: investigation by the A s p c A if you're 716 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: torturing of Fluffy? They'll say, the craziest stuff on the planet. 717 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: People don't understand this because this isn't getting reported. There 718 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: have already been straight up massive fabrications about him, submitted 719 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,919 Speaker 1: by people named people to the Senate saying, oh, he 720 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,800 Speaker 1: he raped some woman in Rhode Island on a boat. 721 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: And they're like, oh my god, this is gonna fall 722 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: apart because they gave a location and a time and 723 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 1: names of people he didn't know. So there's no level 724 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: of crazy now that they won't sink to. And what 725 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 1: they realize is they have to just come up with 726 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: allegations that you can't disprove, and they'll pile on. They'll 727 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: have more and more people saying, oh, I know, I 728 00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: know he got black out drunk. He's a liar. He 729 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: got black cow drunk. They're gonna say that over over. 730 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 1: How do you prove you never got block out drunk? 731 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: I have a text here from my brother last night. Oh, 732 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: let's go. Because so when do people start writing in 733 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: that Cavanaugh abuse their pets? Oh my gosh, he's right 734 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: on the same way. Absolutely, Yeah, this is where it goes. 735 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: And you know what's gonna be amazing about this. People 736 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: are going to say crazy stuff next week and CNN 737 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: we'll do this kind of pseudo skepticism reporting of it 738 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,839 Speaker 1: where they'll say, like, we cannot confirm yet, but was 739 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh torturing Fluffy the poodle when he was ten? We 740 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,879 Speaker 1: we have sources on named sources right now. We want 741 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 1: to protect her. They didn't want to come forward, Mike, 742 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,439 Speaker 1: Fluffy the poodle is at stake here. I mean, don't 743 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 1: make stuff up. Then Pete can get involved. And you know, 744 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 1: I'm so here's the thing. I'm not making light of 745 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,959 Speaker 1: the first allegation. The third one I am because it's crap. 746 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,399 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lie, right, the first allegation, I'm 747 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: a little I think the woman is is delusional. I 748 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: feel sad for her. Uh and obviously any actual salt 749 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 1: is really serious. But what I'm saying is now that 750 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: they've already broken the barrier of just completely false stuff. Right, 751 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: they started with their strongest punch, and then they tried 752 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: another one to add on, and then they tried for 753 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: a haymaker with the third, but they overreached. But now 754 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: that they've done that, the next level is gonna be 755 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,280 Speaker 1: a whole other it's you know, now it's the floodgates 756 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: are open. Now it's he you know, look, they said 757 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: that mid Romney like basically abused a dog, but but 758 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:26,919 Speaker 1: he had the dog on the roof of a car. 759 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: Think about the stuff that they've that was mid Romney. 760 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,720 Speaker 1: They made him look like some kind of a dog abuser. 761 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: I feel like mid Romney has probably donated more money to, 762 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, make sure that people have homes for Fluffy 763 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: the poodle and any other human being on the planet. 764 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: I mean, it's but that's what we're gonna it's gonna 765 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 1: get it's gonna go into straight up crazy town now, 766 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: and they're gonna report on it. Like we can't verify this, 767 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 1: but maybe maybe Kavanaugh is actually into S and M. 768 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't tell you if we have you know, 769 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: there's no evidence of this yet, but you know, if 770 00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: he is, there's an abusive streak here. People are saying 771 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 1: there were Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post among the 772 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 1: dumbest pundits period, and the fact that they keep referring 773 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: to ads a conservative because she's meant to be. She's 774 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: the I'm just gonna say it, She's the pudgy, unathletic 775 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 1: kid that you get stuck with in the tug of war. 776 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: Remember on field day and nobody wanted. The kid is 777 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 1: gonna like, oh, I don't wanted, and they're like uh, 778 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: and they put him there. Now, you might say that 779 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: for tug of war, actually the pudgy kid is good. 780 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: But no, no, because he loses his balance that he 781 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 1: falls down and then everybody else falls down. Jennifer Ubins 782 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: like that for conservatives. They want her on our team 783 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,840 Speaker 1: because she messes us up. But she's not on our team. 784 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 1: She's not a conservative. Do you had people last night 785 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: they were saying that Kavanaugh was showing us what he's 786 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 1: like when he's a belligerent drunk, when he was defending 787 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: himself for charges essentially of gang rape, which doesn't get 788 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: enough that doesn't get enough focus or attention here. He 789 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 1: wasn't just charged with that first instance. He's been charged. 790 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,919 Speaker 1: I mean they read into the record these other things. 791 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: And that's why when fine Stein brought it up with him. 792 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 1: The whole thing is any any red blooded American male 793 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 1: would have gone to the Kavanaugh level and then some 794 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 1: I might have flipped over a table. I mean I 795 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,400 Speaker 1: might have gone al Pacino incentive a woman threatening to 796 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: take a flamethrow to this place. Although you know, if 797 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: you actually said that in the Senate, I'm sure you'd 798 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 1: get into a lot of trouble. But you know what 799 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, it's crazy. Um, it's uh, 800 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: it's a pretty remarkable situation. It's like you've said before 801 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: with in regards to Reuben, you said many times how 802 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: the Republican never trumpers or even worse than the Democrats 803 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 1: who hate him. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. They really they 804 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: really do hate him, though I hate him more than 805 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 1: anything else. So I just I want to prepare everybody. 806 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 1: I want to prepare everybody and just let them know that, uh, 807 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: next week is gonna be I know that because there's 808 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: this there's this sense that we all have of it 809 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: has to get less crazy. Like, I can't keep being this. 810 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 1: They can't keep you know, Michael avanat. Avanati's straight up 811 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,319 Speaker 1: saying that it's gonna get He's just gonna come out 812 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 1: with all this other stuff and he'll say anything, right, 813 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 1: He's just an attention hore. But you're gonna see stuff 814 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: next week that's gonna I don't know where we go 815 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: from here. I'm not enough of a psychopath to get 816 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 1: ahead of where the Democrats are going or where their 817 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: allies and the media are gonna go with this. But 818 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 1: it's funny. Your brother and I we're we're of like mind. 819 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna come up with something else that is discrediting 820 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: and you know, dishonorable sounding, and there's nothing that anybody 821 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 1: could ever do to prove that they're lying. I actually 822 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 1: have a question for you. Do you think Democrats have 823 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 1: already overplayed their hand, like they've already done it and 824 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 1: whatever they do is even gonna get worse for them 825 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,720 Speaker 1: in the maternal Yes, but but they're they're like crazy 826 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: people that they're hysterical. They're not, so they have no 827 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 1: ability to self correct based upon the overage. Yeah, absolutely, 828 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: I think they have overreach. But that's why I think 829 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna go with something even more bonkers, And I mean, 830 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 1: how much more bonkers can you get than gang rape 831 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: parties where Kavanaugh was waiting in line outside of them. 832 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 1: You know, there are some things that I could There 833 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 1: are things that I can believe about certain people in 834 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,240 Speaker 1: certain situations looking into the darkest moment in their soul, 835 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 1: that is not one of them with this guy. Given 836 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,239 Speaker 1: all the other circumstances around it, too, nobody knew about this. 837 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I had a congresswoman on on Rising and 838 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: I said, I said, Congresswoman, honestly, she's a Democrat, of course, 839 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 1: is that Are you you really think that this kind 840 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: of stuff I mean that happens are the gang rape 841 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: parties that that women keep going to where they know 842 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,839 Speaker 1: this is going to happen. She said, yeah, she's heard 843 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,439 Speaker 1: of things like that, and I wasn't able to push 844 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 1: her into more specifics because we had to end the interview. 845 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,239 Speaker 1: But I was like, come on, really, I've I grew 846 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,840 Speaker 1: up in New York City. That was the other thing. 847 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,840 Speaker 1: Two people I was getting some people like, well, what 848 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 1: do you know about prep DC schools in the eighties. 849 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, actually, kind of know a lot about what 850 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,839 Speaker 1: that's like. Uh, kind of kind of my wheelhouse. Uh. 851 00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: And I've never heard of and a thing anything that 852 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 1: even vaguely resembled the third the Sweatneck allegations. That was 853 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 1: space aliens landing from Mars level crazy. So where do 854 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 1: you go from there? I don't really know. All Right, 855 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back. We're gonna talk to a guy 856 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: about campus craziness to this hour, So stick around for 857 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 1: that and much more. I told the story of my 858 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 1: sexual assault. I told it because I recognize and her 859 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:27,000 Speaker 1: story that she's telling that truth. What you're doing is 860 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 1: allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit in 861 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 1: a Supreme court don't matter. They should just keep it 862 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,879 Speaker 1: to themselves because if they have told the truth, you're 863 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,800 Speaker 1: just gonna help that man to power. Anyway, Guys, what 864 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,120 Speaker 1: you're telling all of these women, guys who you're telling 865 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 1: me right now? Look, tell mean, when I'm talking to you, 866 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,400 Speaker 1: you're telling me that myself doesn't matter, what happened to 867 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,479 Speaker 1: me doesn't matter, and that you're gonna let me people 868 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:58,240 Speaker 1: look and do these things into the power. So clearly 869 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 1: people are and women in this case who are confronting 870 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: Jeff flake in that audio sound, but in in the elevator, uh, 871 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: at Capitol Hill, I mean in the Senate building. Um, 872 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: they are hysterical about this, and you see there, and 873 00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,440 Speaker 1: I feel very badly for for anyone who this this 874 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:24,319 Speaker 1: dredges up the incredibly painful memories of an assault. But 875 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,080 Speaker 1: we we also have to draw a hard line here, 876 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 1: and the line is that just because a person was 877 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 1: assaulted by somebody does not mean that we should act 878 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: like Kavanaugh is guilty, act like there is evidence against 879 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh to support that charge, and throw him to the wolves, 880 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,839 Speaker 1: because somehow it will send a message to people who 881 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 1: have actually been sexually assaulted that we take this seriously. 882 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 1: Our system is premised upon individual rights, freedom and justice. 883 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,880 Speaker 1: There is no provisoh, there's no carve out for collective 884 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,720 Speaker 1: punishment based on no no, no no, No matter how sad 885 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 1: something makes someone, no matter how terrible an ordeal they've 886 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 1: gone through, collective punishment is in fact anti justice, or rather, 887 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,839 Speaker 1: punishment for an individual because of the whims or the 888 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 1: needs or desires of the collective is inherently unjust. Every 889 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,680 Speaker 1: case has to be judged on its merits. This is 890 00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: not a hard case on the merits if an allegation, 891 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 1: no matter how credible, without any supporting witnesses, corroboration, or evidence, 892 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: and with massive holes in the story and in the 893 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:50,400 Speaker 1: timeline of the story, as well as decades of eroding memory, 894 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 1: because that is what happens over the course of decades 895 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 1: from an incident. If just the allegation is enough to 896 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 1: create guilt and the consequences of guilt, we are living 897 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:07,840 Speaker 1: in a different country. And I blame the media a 898 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 1: lot for creating this dynamic where women really do seem 899 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 1: to believe not all women, but obviously some women like 900 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 1: the ones at Capitol Hill, who are not just protesting, 901 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,040 Speaker 1: but who are engaged in civil disobedience and who are 902 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 1: getting arrested, and who are so upset about what's gone 903 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,719 Speaker 1: on here to the point where they're irrational about it. 904 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,800 Speaker 1: One individuals assault. I mean, if I if I had, 905 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:39,279 Speaker 1: let's say, I had a close friend who was, you know, 906 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:43,239 Speaker 1: killed in an act of violence, and then I were 907 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 1: to wait outside the trial of somebody else who was 908 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,760 Speaker 1: found not guilty of an act of violence, that doesn't 909 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,280 Speaker 1: mean that the people in that trial that that jury 910 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 1: doesn't take violence seriously. It means they think that person 911 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 1: didn't do it, and we keep skipping past this, We 912 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 1: keep skipping past that if what Dr Ford says is true, 913 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 1: there should be other things that would support her account, 914 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 1: and that the timing of this is all incredibly convenient, 915 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,359 Speaker 1: and the way that her story comes together, where it's 916 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 1: just enough emotional detail to be damaging, but not nearly 917 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:20,759 Speaker 1: enough detail that it can be disproven, that I think 918 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 1: is more than just a little bit suspect. But I 919 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 1: know people really want to believe this because it also 920 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,240 Speaker 1: makes them feel like they are standing for the side 921 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,480 Speaker 1: of righteousness, when in fact they're standing with evil. I 922 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:39,360 Speaker 1: don't just mean because of the implications for Row versus Wade. 923 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 1: I mean because what was televised here with Kavanaugh's hearing 924 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:50,280 Speaker 1: was a ritualistic humiliation and torture of a good man 925 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:57,280 Speaker 1: for the amusement and the gratification and the satisfaction of 926 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,840 Speaker 1: the most extreme feminists and left wing demagogues in the country. 927 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:08,320 Speaker 1: And it was and utter disgrace. And that these people 928 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,399 Speaker 1: then go and chase down senators and scream in their 929 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,239 Speaker 1: faces about this, as if that's going to change anyone's mind, 930 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 1: just goes to show you that they are having emotional issues. 931 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 1: I mean there are people who feel very deeply invested 932 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 1: in the outcome of whether the Senate goes forward this 933 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,319 Speaker 1: or not. And I mean personally and psychologically invested in 934 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,680 Speaker 1: this to a degree that is unhealthy. And that's where 935 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,319 Speaker 1: I start to feel as though this is going to 936 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:42,000 Speaker 1: take an even uglier turn. It was not long ago 937 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:47,320 Speaker 1: that a leftist ideologue in this country tried a mass 938 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 1: assassination of conservative members of Congress at a baseball field 939 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 1: in Alexandria, Virginia. The media covered it a bit and 940 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,080 Speaker 1: then moved on from it. They try not to bring 941 00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:02,280 Speaker 1: it back up again. When people feel like their fundamental rights, 942 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,840 Speaker 1: in this case the right to abort babies, but also 943 00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,839 Speaker 1: they're right to decide who is guilty based upon who 944 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: sounds the most convincing with a a story of sadness 945 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,279 Speaker 1: and emotion. When they feel that right has been taken 946 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 1: away from them, will they turn to violence? I hope not, 947 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:24,280 Speaker 1: But none of us know. Dr Ford did not spend 948 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:28,000 Speaker 1: her entire life preparing for this moment. She did not 949 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:32,439 Speaker 1: come here with a political agenda. She did not testify 950 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 1: with a job promotion on the line. She did not 951 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:41,320 Speaker 1: evade our questions, and she did not demean our motives 952 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:47,280 Speaker 1: of either Republicans or Democrats. She instead, plainly, with grace 953 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:54,440 Speaker 1: times emotionally recounted the trauma that she experienced as a 954 00:54:54,640 --> 00:55:00,279 Speaker 1: fifteen year old girl. Trauma has been hunting her for 955 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:04,760 Speaker 1: the thirty six years since she had nothing to gain, 956 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:09,959 Speaker 1: everything to lose, are coming for Listen closely to both 957 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 1: her and Judge Kavana, and I believe her as I 958 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:22,799 Speaker 1: believed Anita Hill. As he's wrong, wrong about both. I 959 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:27,279 Speaker 1: gotta say that this the Democrats. I go back and 960 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 1: forth between wanting to scream with with rage at them 961 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,960 Speaker 1: and then also wanting to kind of just mock and 962 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,440 Speaker 1: laugh at them. I mean that this thing with Lahy, 963 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 1: it was a huge mistake that Republicans made. It almost 964 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,720 Speaker 1: cost them. It almost cost them a Kavanaugh thing outright 965 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 1: by having that prosecutor Mitchell. You know that that was 966 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,439 Speaker 1: a huge mistake. I've I got to do it today 967 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,960 Speaker 1: with with a defense attorney a little bit that I 968 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,439 Speaker 1: know about this where it's like, look, man, we both 969 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,279 Speaker 1: know we he's a he's a big Democrat. If you 970 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 1: had had Ford try to present that story and it, 971 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 1: first of all, it would never go to a courtroom 972 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 1: because they would never charge anybody based on the facts 973 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,360 Speaker 1: of this case as we know them. Never, not in 974 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:17,359 Speaker 1: a million years. It would never be investigated because there's 975 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,839 Speaker 1: nothing that they could use to investigate that other than 976 00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,319 Speaker 1: the statements of people that were there, which they already have. 977 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 1: So there's nothing that they would be able to investigate further. 978 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 1: And quite honestly, it wouldn't be taken particularly seriously by 979 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 1: any law enforcement agency because it wouldn't. People keep saying 980 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 1: there's no statute limitations. Yeah, that would be if he 981 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 1: actually raped somebody. I mean, there's when you look at 982 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 1: the actual crime here, she says it's attempted rape. But 983 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,359 Speaker 1: there's there's no way to prove that. There's no way 984 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,360 Speaker 1: to prove there's attempted rape. I mean, there's no actual 985 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,640 Speaker 1: physical penetration. I mean, if she went into a and 986 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,399 Speaker 1: you're not gonna hear some anybody else, I just want 987 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 1: to tell it to you, because we've gotta be honest 988 00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:59,959 Speaker 1: here in the Hut. If she went into a court 989 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,560 Speaker 1: him with this story, her story would have been shredded. 990 00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,319 Speaker 1: I don't remember where it was, I don't remember who 991 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,839 Speaker 1: was there, I don't remember anything about what happened. After her. 992 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:10,360 Speaker 1: I don't know who took me home. I don't know 993 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,319 Speaker 1: what house I you know, I don't know what year, 994 00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 1: I don't this is, but but they act like what 995 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,000 Speaker 1: she did was so was was this incredible act of bravery. 996 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 1: I mean, she has a half a million dollar go 997 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 1: fund Me account that's already been set up for her. 998 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,000 Speaker 1: Where you know what's gonna happen with that. I'm sure 999 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna say she's gonna donate that money to a 1000 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,920 Speaker 1: victim's fund or something. Anybody wanna want to place a 1001 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 1: bet right now as to whether or not she gets 1002 00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:37,120 Speaker 1: a seven figure book deal within the next eighteen months 1003 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:41,120 Speaker 1: seven figure book deal, you know, and any and any 1004 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,400 Speaker 1: any snide little democrat punk who would want to argue 1005 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 1: with me on that, I'd say, let's let's put some 1006 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 1: money on it. That's how confident I am that they're 1007 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 1: gonna do. They're gonna shower her with cash. She's going 1008 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:57,240 Speaker 1: to hit the the nationwide speaking circuit now as a hero, 1009 00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 1: kind of like Anita Hill, who, by the way, followed 1010 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:05,080 Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas around Oh so bad. He said such nasty things. 1011 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,160 Speaker 1: He was so aggressive and wanted to go on a 1012 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 1: date with me. The fact that people even talk about 1013 00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 1: this in the same sentence Clarence Thomas is accused of 1014 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 1: like saying some inappropriate stuff and what a bunch of 1015 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:20,880 Speaker 1: of you know, namby pamby nonsense people are there's the 1016 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 1: whole thing to disgrace in layers or courage. No political agenda. No, 1017 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 1: the political agenda is to ruin a man's life and 1018 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,000 Speaker 1: save a Supreme Court seat for the Democrats. They can 1019 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 1: keep on having the industrialized mass slaughter taxpayer subsidized by 1020 00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,360 Speaker 1: the way of babies. That's actually what this is all about. 1021 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 1: Everything else is noise. Patrick lahy Man, what what these 1022 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 1: people are disgusting? They are disgusting. There is no amount 1023 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,520 Speaker 1: of money, there's no job you could have, There's nothing 1024 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 1: you could do that would ever make me treat anybody 1025 00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 1: the way they redd cavan all yesterday. Never it's because 1026 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 1: I have some honor and they don't. As we know, folks, 1027 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:11,560 Speaker 1: college campuses are pretty crazy these days. A lot of 1028 00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,919 Speaker 1: liberal indoctrination over a long period of time has led 1029 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,920 Speaker 1: them to be well, just borderline and saying on a 1030 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,919 Speaker 1: lot of stuff. But where does all of this come from? 1031 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,520 Speaker 1: And how bad has it gotten? We have somebody with 1032 00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,520 Speaker 1: us now who is a true expert in this and 1033 00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:30,080 Speaker 1: oh so much more. We're joined by Greg lukyan Off. 1034 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 1: He's the author of the new book The Coddling of 1035 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,920 Speaker 1: the American Mind, How good intentions and bad ideas are 1036 00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,640 Speaker 1: setting up a generation for failure. Also, he is the 1037 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 1: president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Education. Greg, 1038 00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,160 Speaker 1: great to have you on the show, my friend. Okay, 1039 00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 1: so things have always been crazy on college campuses. I've 1040 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,120 Speaker 1: told many a story here about, for example, being threatened 1041 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,520 Speaker 1: by a whole bunch of student groups with a picketing 1042 00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,120 Speaker 1: if we threw a Sanco de Mayo party because of 1043 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,240 Speaker 1: cultural appropriation. And that was over a decade ago. But 1044 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:06,080 Speaker 1: things have gotten crazier and now people are really taking 1045 01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 1: this to new levels. How has it gotten worse? Let's 1046 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,960 Speaker 1: first start with that. Well, yeah, I mean for most 1047 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,480 Speaker 1: of my career I started. I'm a first amentent lawyer. 1048 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,720 Speaker 1: I started right after I got out of law school 1049 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 1: in two thousand one, um, and I've been defending free 1050 01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,760 Speaker 1: speech on campus for long before this was as much 1051 01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,040 Speaker 1: of the public conscious as it is now. But for 1052 01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:28,840 Speaker 1: almost all that time, up until about uh, the people 1053 01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,960 Speaker 1: you were likely to get in trouble with were campus bureaucrats. 1054 01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,880 Speaker 1: They were administrators who wanted to create little free speech 1055 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 1: zones or to create speech codes. The students themselves, when 1056 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 1: asked at least UM, attended to be pretty good on 1057 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 1: free speech. But sometimes around seemingly overnight, you suddenly have 1058 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,400 Speaker 1: the request for you know, micro aggression policies, from mandatory 1059 01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 1: trigger warning policies UM, for speech codes coming from students, 1060 01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 1: and for disinvitations for speakers that they that they didn't like, 1061 01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,440 Speaker 1: not not to pick at them. We're I'm a hundred 1062 01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 1: percent fine with people picketing people for things they don't like, 1063 01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,760 Speaker 1: but when they're when they're on a campus and you're 1064 01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,560 Speaker 1: demanding this person can't speak here because I don't like them, 1065 01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 1: that that doesn't work. Yeah, and these are these are 1066 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:14,440 Speaker 1: concepts that are our new constructs. You know. For example, 1067 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,480 Speaker 1: if folks listening would go back and watch the movie PCU, 1068 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:24,320 Speaker 1: which Greg, I'm sure you've seen. You must have seen PCU, right, Uh, yeah, 1069 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 1: of course. I mean to be in your line of work, 1070 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,000 Speaker 1: I feel like it's required. And you see what the 1071 01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,440 Speaker 1: what the politically correct campus was like in that movie 1072 01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,760 Speaker 1: from I guess the mid nineties. You know, yeah, there's 1073 01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,640 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff about vegans and the affirmative actions 1074 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:39,959 Speaker 1: talk and all this stuff, and of course the prep 1075 01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,720 Speaker 1: you white guys are the bad guys, um, But there's 1076 01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:46,920 Speaker 1: nothing about trigger warnings. Speech equals violence. I mean, I 1077 01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,360 Speaker 1: think of all the pernicious ideas that have caught on 1078 01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,960 Speaker 1: on college campuses, speech equals violence has got to be 1079 01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 1: among the world. It's probably the worst. Yeah. No, it's 1080 01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,800 Speaker 1: a really dangerous idea. My co author for the book 1081 01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,320 Speaker 1: and I also wrote an article for The Atlantic um 1082 01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,840 Speaker 1: called why it's a terrible idea to tell students that 1083 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 1: speech is the same thing as violence. It's just a 1084 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:09,920 Speaker 1: bad idea on every level. But the thing that I 1085 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 1: point out is it's not actually a new idea. It's 1086 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 1: an ancient idea, um. For long before we we had 1087 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,440 Speaker 1: sort of the Enlightenment, you know, the idea that kind 1088 01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:22,440 Speaker 1: of like you should be killed if you if you 1089 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,320 Speaker 1: say something with blasphemous that's that that that's most of 1090 01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 1: human history. But it's also most of human barbarism. Um. 1091 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 1: So we come up with this with this amazing invention 1092 01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,840 Speaker 1: of saying, you know what, people are gonna are entitled 1093 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 1: to their opinions, and we're going to really try to 1094 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,439 Speaker 1: stick with this. And this is kind of a whole 1095 01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,760 Speaker 1: idea of the First Amendment that we're no longer going 1096 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:44,040 Speaker 1: to kill each other over if you if I think 1097 01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 1: you have the wrong opinions on stuff. So it's as 1098 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:51,040 Speaker 1: if a generation is rediscovering this ancient, terrible idea, like 1099 01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 1: it's a new and good idea. We're speaking of Greg 1100 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 1: lukian Off, the who is the author of the Coddling 1101 01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 1: of the American Mind. How good intentions and bad ideas 1102 01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:04,480 Speaker 1: are setting up a generation for failure. So where does 1103 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,160 Speaker 1: so now we we've talked about some of these new 1104 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,400 Speaker 1: things trigger warning, deep platforming, right, which means oh no, 1105 01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,600 Speaker 1: you can't even come speak. It's not just that will 1106 01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,720 Speaker 1: stand outside and make a rockets. We we will actually 1107 01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 1: actively shut down. I mean, I remember, I think it 1108 01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,360 Speaker 1: was a Jordan Peterson speech that I watched recently on 1109 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,840 Speaker 1: YouTube and there was some weird It's I thought it 1110 01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,360 Speaker 1: was a faulty quality for the recording. No, it was 1111 01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,880 Speaker 1: people banging on doors and banging on whatever they could 1112 01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,000 Speaker 1: find outside the auditorium to try to drown him out. 1113 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,440 Speaker 1: They really believe this d platforming idea. Greg when did 1114 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 1: this stuff come about? And where do these new and 1115 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:44,400 Speaker 1: honestly more destructive ideas to free speech come from? Well, 1116 01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,920 Speaker 1: you know, d platforming was an idea that goes back 1117 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,440 Speaker 1: to Britain in the nineteen seventies. And originally it was 1118 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,880 Speaker 1: like the full title was no platform for fascists, UM 1119 01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 1: on it and and uh and unfortunately it wasn't that 1120 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't really an export over to the US. UM. 1121 01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,240 Speaker 1: But it really started to tick up sometime around two 1122 01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 1: thousand nine and then particularly around and that was the 1123 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,440 Speaker 1: year where people really noticed, um, that's happening because it 1124 01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 1: was no longer UM directed just at clearer conservatives. So 1125 01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:14,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the media had gotten kind of 1126 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:19,560 Speaker 1: used to people demanding that conservatives b D platforms on campus. 1127 01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:23,800 Speaker 1: But it ended up being you know, Christine Lagarde, who's 1128 01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:27,000 Speaker 1: the head of the International Monetary Fund, Robert Bersion now 1129 01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:33,440 Speaker 1: UM but a lefty UM chancellor of of UC Berkeley, 1130 01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,520 Speaker 1: and suddenly started to realize that the purity test that 1131 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 1: people had to pass on campus with just getting tougher 1132 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:44,320 Speaker 1: and tougher. Now who also decides what the you know 1133 01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,320 Speaker 1: I've seen. I think it was just this week USC 1134 01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,560 Speaker 1: has put out some statement that Ben Shapiro, who is 1135 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,320 Speaker 1: somebody that that whose work I really like in respect, 1136 01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:59,440 Speaker 1: is a quote advocating for the extermination of whole races. 1137 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:03,360 Speaker 1: Why obviously that's not true. But to they're clearly trying 1138 01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,320 Speaker 1: to make Ben outside. And by the way, it's the 1139 01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 1: best press. I mean, I wish people thought that when 1140 01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,720 Speaker 1: I was coming to campus, I was saying crazy things. 1141 01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:12,160 Speaker 1: It is the best press you could possibly get. But 1142 01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 1: who makes these decisions? How do they come to the 1143 01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,040 Speaker 1: decision about whether you're outside the mainstream you would prefernd 1144 01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,800 Speaker 1: can remember his name, the guy who wrote the Bell Curve. 1145 01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 1: He was up Murray, Yeah, Charles Murray. But Middleburg he 1146 01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:26,439 Speaker 1: got physically attacked. Ben Shapiro is getting deep platform. Who 1147 01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:29,960 Speaker 1: makes these decisions? Now? Uh well, you know definitely what 1148 01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,440 Speaker 1: you're talking about there is just the escalation of the rhetoric. 1149 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,400 Speaker 1: And one thing that we've heard a lot of the 1150 01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:37,480 Speaker 1: kind of a fashionable term is saying that you're just 1151 01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: by your speech and by your beliefs, you're denying someone 1152 01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:44,120 Speaker 1: they're right to exist. And this is this, this is 1153 01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:46,760 Speaker 1: totally a victim of concept creep too, because you know, 1154 01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,760 Speaker 1: first people were saying it about Milo and now people 1155 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 1: are saying that or you know, Richard Spencer, who you 1156 01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,720 Speaker 1: know is a genuine you know, the white supremacist. But 1157 01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,880 Speaker 1: now they're going you know, they're going down to people 1158 01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,960 Speaker 1: like Ben Shapiro. And it's this ongoing effort to to 1159 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:06,760 Speaker 1: to make to keep on shrinking the area of allowable discourse. Now. Also, 1160 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,800 Speaker 1: the the Academy has taken steps now and there's I know, 1161 01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:12,600 Speaker 1: I think you deal with this in the book from 1162 01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:17,160 Speaker 1: our from our discussion before where peer reviewed articles, it's 1163 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:21,680 Speaker 1: not enough to have an addendum, orbition, apology. It's now retraction. 1164 01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:26,000 Speaker 1: If if if you offend the politically correct sensibilities of 1165 01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,760 Speaker 1: the left, you can't just apologize, and you can't just 1166 01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,640 Speaker 1: say here's the additional point of view or here's how 1167 01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 1: it could have done this differently. They want Soviet style 1168 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:39,560 Speaker 1: racing of the you know, of the item in question. Yeah, 1169 01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,840 Speaker 1: and that's actually that that that's kind of new because 1170 01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:45,720 Speaker 1: uproar over articles frot matter. Actually uproar articles is kind 1171 01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,400 Speaker 1: of novel anyway, because you know, like who reads them 1172 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,120 Speaker 1: in the first place, And usually the way you you know, 1173 01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,360 Speaker 1: fight back is just write another article or write and 1174 01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,480 Speaker 1: a bead or or or you know, UM put something 1175 01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,640 Speaker 1: on tweet about it for goodness sake. But in the 1176 01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:02,320 Speaker 1: past couple of years it's been uh demands for retractions 1177 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: that magazines have actually been following. There was this other 1178 01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 1: example that we talked about in the book involving a 1179 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 1: professor Gilly, who almost like on a dare, decided to 1180 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:15,600 Speaker 1: write an article in defense of colonialism. But it was 1181 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:20,400 Speaker 1: very much an intellectual experiment, and they retracted it after 1182 01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,600 Speaker 1: Gilly himself and the editor of the magazine started getting 1183 01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,520 Speaker 1: death threats. And I've just never heard of anything like 1184 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,040 Speaker 1: this in my career where an academic article which was 1185 01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,000 Speaker 1: clearly a thought experiment, um, you know, some devil's advocacy 1186 01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:35,080 Speaker 1: in it, um starts getting they had to retract a 1187 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:37,120 Speaker 1: paper in the face of death threats. Like that's something 1188 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,120 Speaker 1: something was very much changing. And I can tell you 1189 01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:40,800 Speaker 1: something I know there's a little off the off, just 1190 01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,400 Speaker 1: the campus topic. We're speaking to Greg bukian Off, author 1191 01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,360 Speaker 1: of The Coddling of the American Mind. You can get 1192 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:47,520 Speaker 1: on Amazon right now. I've got a copy. You should 1193 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:51,280 Speaker 1: definitely check it out. But but Craig, I I have 1194 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,280 Speaker 1: a friend I won't name him who because he told 1195 01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 1: me this kind of you know, just just mano a 1196 01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:59,200 Speaker 1: mano uh and uh he said, actually that's not the 1197 01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,480 Speaker 1: right phrase for that. Whatever man and man. He said 1198 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,960 Speaker 1: this to me once that of all the things he's written, UM, 1199 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:09,400 Speaker 1: the single one that got him in the most trouble 1200 01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 1: in terms of death threats was about transgenderism. Not abortion, 1201 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:19,280 Speaker 1: not affirmative action, not war, none of that. Transgenderism. And 1202 01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:21,120 Speaker 1: that's and that's one of the examples we use in 1203 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,559 Speaker 1: the book. UM. Two is Rebecca too Vel and she 1204 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,719 Speaker 1: wrote an article after Rachel dolls All became popular Rachel 1205 01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:31,400 Speaker 1: Dolazol as the white woman who later in life identified 1206 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,240 Speaker 1: as a black female, and it was I was revealed 1207 01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:38,439 Speaker 1: that she actually was in fact white, and Um, Rebecca 1208 01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:40,920 Speaker 1: too Vell wrote an article saying, you know, are we 1209 01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:45,280 Speaker 1: have we decided that she um, your your gender identity 1210 01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,080 Speaker 1: and your racial identity can both be fluid in the 1211 01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:52,920 Speaker 1: same way. And the answer from her peers was not 1212 01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:56,559 Speaker 1: just a resounding no, but it's basically blasphemous for you 1213 01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 1: to even talk about this. And she was treated, you know, 1214 01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,680 Speaker 1: we talked, we liken it to a witch hunt in 1215 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:06,840 Speaker 1: the book because people were signing these ritual denunciations of 1216 01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,000 Speaker 1: her well at the same time, which makes it even 1217 01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,200 Speaker 1: worse writing or in private saying you know, I'm really sorry, 1218 01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 1: what's happening to you here? Until the journal called Hypatia 1219 01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 1: retracted the retracted the article, but even then still still 1220 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:23,040 Speaker 1: going after as if she was a genuine blasphemer. And 1221 01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,479 Speaker 1: I also feel like you've seen much more of the 1222 01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 1: left eating its own than ever before because these rules 1223 01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:34,439 Speaker 1: and really these these these emotional slash intellectual fashions on 1224 01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 1: the left keep changing and changed so rapidly and really 1225 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 1: haphazardly that people get caught up in and don't even 1226 01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,400 Speaker 1: realize that they've they themselves have transgressed. And it's like, no, 1227 01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:45,599 Speaker 1: this is like the you know, a Soviet committee where 1228 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:46,920 Speaker 1: you never know what it's going to be your turn 1229 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,240 Speaker 1: to get taken out behind the building. Yeah, and that 1230 01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,479 Speaker 1: and that has been interesting, you know, Like I always 1231 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,080 Speaker 1: describe myself as an old school a CLU guy, and 1232 01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,720 Speaker 1: there are a lot of you know, older you know, 1233 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,360 Speaker 1: people calling sulf liberals who are very pro free speech, 1234 01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 1: they believe the free speech movement, and a lot of 1235 01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,640 Speaker 1: them are really horrified to see the environment that you 1236 01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,479 Speaker 1: currently have on campus. So, you know, people going after 1237 01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:11,760 Speaker 1: Laura Kipness, you know, UM, who was a professor who 1238 01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,840 Speaker 1: wrote an article saying that the way we enforced Title 1239 01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,960 Speaker 1: nine has gone too far. And for writing that article 1240 01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:20,559 Speaker 1: in the Chronicle Higher Education, she was brought up for 1241 01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:26,479 Speaker 1: investigation under Title nine at the university Northwestern University UM. 1242 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:30,559 Speaker 1: The university dropped the charges after she took her investigation public. 1243 01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,960 Speaker 1: She wrote a book about her experience after that, and 1244 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,440 Speaker 1: that was again investigated by the Title line committee at Northwestern. 1245 01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,320 Speaker 1: So it isn't being this really surreal and it and 1246 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,240 Speaker 1: and it ends up being all these like secret hearings. 1247 01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 1: It ends up being the you know, cop gask is 1248 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:48,200 Speaker 1: actually appropriate in the circumstance. Now, one more thing before 1249 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,600 Speaker 1: I let you go, Greg, anyway, this is going to 1250 01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:54,000 Speaker 1: get better? Um, I think it. I think it's going 1251 01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,560 Speaker 1: to get better because it has to. Not necessarily, it 1252 01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:59,040 Speaker 1: could get worse before it gets better. But you just 1253 01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:02,320 Speaker 1: can't keep going this. This is such a m This 1254 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:04,559 Speaker 1: is not a good situation for the production of ideas. 1255 01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:06,760 Speaker 1: It's not an environment where people are gonna want to 1256 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:08,920 Speaker 1: pay seventy thousand dollars a year for the privilege of 1257 01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:10,479 Speaker 1: going to a place where they have to be so 1258 01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,400 Speaker 1: terrified about opening their mouths. So it just can't keep 1259 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,439 Speaker 1: going like this forever. Alright, Gregor Guiana off the colleague 1260 01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,240 Speaker 1: of the American Mind. Check out the book, Greg, thanks 1261 01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:22,800 Speaker 1: so much and good luck. Yeah, thanks for having me. Alright, team, 1262 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,040 Speaker 1: got much more coming. I'll be back in just a moment. 1263 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:29,360 Speaker 1: Women across this nation should be outraged what these white 1264 01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,800 Speaker 1: man senators are doing. Quite to this woman, this is 1265 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:38,320 Speaker 1: all gross strategizing from eleven old white men. It's a 1266 01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:42,080 Speaker 1: white man strategy that is politically dumb in my opinion, 1267 01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:46,200 Speaker 1: These people in Congress right now, in the very committee, 1268 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:50,519 Speaker 1: these white men, white men by the way, protecting women. 1269 01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,599 Speaker 1: Why is Joy Behar allowed to call people old? Why 1270 01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,840 Speaker 1: is Joy Behar allowed to play the age car? That's 1271 01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:00,679 Speaker 1: not nice? Joy? All right, check yourself before you wreck yourself. 1272 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:06,759 Speaker 1: Keep going. Oh that's it? Oh Joy by ha sounds 1273 01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:10,200 Speaker 1: like Hillary to me at least, it's all the same man, 1274 01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:13,200 Speaker 1: old white man. What is it with hating old white men. 1275 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,519 Speaker 1: I'd rather I'm rather fond of lots of old white men. 1276 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:19,960 Speaker 1: I don't understand what the problem is here. This is now, 1277 01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:23,120 Speaker 1: This is now something that the left is repeating all 1278 01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:26,080 Speaker 1: the time, and they don't understand how normal people view it. 1279 01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:28,639 Speaker 1: They don't seem to pick up on the fact that 1280 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:33,240 Speaker 1: if old white men are going to be hearing about 1281 01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,120 Speaker 1: how they're you know, how they're talked about by the 1282 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:39,040 Speaker 1: Democrat Party and the media in general going to the 1283 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:42,160 Speaker 1: mid terms, they may take some degree of offense to it. 1284 01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,519 Speaker 1: You know why your old white men talking about it. 1285 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:50,160 Speaker 1: It's like, because there's a lot of older white men 1286 01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:52,439 Speaker 1: in the country. I don't understand what what why do 1287 01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,759 Speaker 1: is that that all of a sudden destroys your ability 1288 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 1: to be an objective view a viewpoint on something, to 1289 01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:02,439 Speaker 1: to have any analytic sense of what's going on in 1290 01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:05,439 Speaker 1: the world or in the country. It's just crazy. But 1291 01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:09,320 Speaker 1: these are these are really cultural memes on the left. 1292 01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 1: I mean, these are things that you expect to These 1293 01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:16,120 Speaker 1: are things you expect to see and to hear from 1294 01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:22,080 Speaker 1: people on the on the left with increasingly because once 1295 01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,000 Speaker 1: some of them start to say then they all parrot it. 1296 01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:27,120 Speaker 1: Then they all will say it and it just slips 1297 01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:29,920 Speaker 1: into their their discourse. So now when someone goes on 1298 01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:33,559 Speaker 1: TV and they're not particularly interesting or smart, they know 1299 01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,519 Speaker 1: they need to be like, well, I just get so 1300 01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:39,280 Speaker 1: upset about the old white men out there and goes, yeah, 1301 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,400 Speaker 1: like what are you even say? We're talking about tax policy? 1302 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,680 Speaker 1: Like what is this? That's great? So this is happening now. 1303 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,320 Speaker 1: Old white men are bad, apparently, according to Democrat parties. 1304 01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:49,840 Speaker 1: A lot of old producer, Mike, if you crunch the numbers, 1305 01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:52,000 Speaker 1: a lot of old white dudes who vote in America. 1306 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I hope that they.

You have 1352 01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:11,400 Speaker 1: three women here who are all making allegations, who are 1353 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,800 Speaker 1: all asking that their stories be heard. And you know, 1354 01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:16,720 Speaker 1: if you look at the case of Roy Moore, if 1355 01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:19,600 Speaker 1: you look at the case of one of your staffers, 1356 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,640 Speaker 1: you seem to time and again side with the accused 1357 01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 1: and not the accuser. Is that because of the many, 1358 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,920 Speaker 1: many allegations that you've had uh made against you over 1359 01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:34,400 Speaker 1: the years. I mean, Acosta is such a clown that 1360 01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:36,920 Speaker 1: there's a part of me that is happy that he's 1361 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:40,599 Speaker 1: out there. He's a constant reminder to America of this 1362 01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:44,200 Speaker 1: is the un n Yeah, that's right. Jim Acosta is CNN. 1363 01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:47,360 Speaker 1: Jim Acosta is the guy that they're putting front and 1364 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:51,200 Speaker 1: center at the White House on all these issues, and 1365 01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:53,559 Speaker 1: his all thing, you know, I've got I've got the 1366 01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:55,840 Speaker 1: use of these women behind me. Can they answer the question? 1367 01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:57,639 Speaker 1: First of all, it's like, why don't Jim, why don't 1368 01:16:57,640 --> 01:16:59,720 Speaker 1: you just give your a question to one of them? 1369 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,439 Speaker 1: Don't know, See, Jim is a little little little piggy 1370 01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:04,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to the questions. He wants to be 1371 01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 1: doling out questions to others and getting his first question in, Uh, 1372 01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,360 Speaker 1: can't be greedy, Jim. The president gets to make that call. 1373 01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:16,240 Speaker 1: But I just love I just love how the President 1374 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 1: came out and just just let him have it. Let 1375 01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:24,240 Speaker 1: him have it. I mean he he's like, what are 1376 01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,439 Speaker 1: you even talking about? Dude? Basicallyist what he says to him, 1377 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:29,920 Speaker 1: and he answers. Acosta saw this as an opportunity to 1378 01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,040 Speaker 1: show how he's such a champion for women. You know 1379 01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,479 Speaker 1: who's really doing this a lot these days, as well 1380 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,880 Speaker 1: as his tuban, their chief legal analyst, who is a 1381 01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 1: terrible legal analyst. I don't know if you guys ever 1382 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,840 Speaker 1: see this guy on CNN. He's like Jeffrey Tubit, did 1383 01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:47,040 Speaker 1: it look like a lawyer? So? And this guy according 1384 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:49,600 Speaker 1: to Sean Davis if you look on Sean Davis is 1385 01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:53,679 Speaker 1: our friend from the Federalists Twitter account. Uh, this dude 1386 01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:59,000 Speaker 1: tubans history when it comes to women is highly a 1387 01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:02,200 Speaker 1: highly checkered past. But he's on TV. It's like, oh, yeah, 1388 01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:04,360 Speaker 1: as if they did that, women are to be believed, 1389 01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,519 Speaker 1: that all this stuff. These people are all posers. They're 1390 01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:10,679 Speaker 1: just fakers. I guess that makes sense because they work 1391 01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:14,040 Speaker 1: at at fake news. But the talking points you here 1392 01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:15,880 Speaker 1: this week about how old white men are bad and 1393 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:17,800 Speaker 1: how you know, women are to be believed and we 1394 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,120 Speaker 1: need more women voices and all these different things. Normal 1395 01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:24,720 Speaker 1: people don't think this way. Normal people just think, you know, 1396 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,599 Speaker 1: who's the best person for this job, who's the smartest 1397 01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:31,519 Speaker 1: on this issue. We can have a rational discussion about 1398 01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,160 Speaker 1: what do process looks like and what rule of all 1399 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:38,120 Speaker 1: looks like, even in this kind of weird world of 1400 01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,640 Speaker 1: the Senate, which is really the deliberative body here, as 1401 01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:46,879 Speaker 1: everyone keeps saying it's a political process, but the affirmative action, 1402 01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,920 Speaker 1: diversity at all costs mentality that you see among Democrats. 1403 01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,920 Speaker 1: It affects their thinking now with everything. I mean, I 1404 01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:54,840 Speaker 1: had to sit there today. You know, I did a 1405 01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:57,640 Speaker 1: show with my co host, Jamal who by the way, 1406 01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,640 Speaker 1: he's a Democrat, great guy that really like them all. Uh, 1407 01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:03,680 Speaker 1: he's my co host when Crystals out. But he was 1408 01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,880 Speaker 1: really concerned that that we didn't have so we actually 1409 01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,400 Speaker 1: skiped into Crystal in Las Vegas because he felt like, look, 1410 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,880 Speaker 1: we really need to have a women a woman rather 1411 01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:16,880 Speaker 1: having this conversation. We had two women on our panel. Um, 1412 01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,600 Speaker 1: but I'm sitting here, Well, I don't understand. Why do 1413 01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:22,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking mostly about Kavanaugh? So am I 1414 01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:24,679 Speaker 1: only let to talk about Kavanaugh and not for because 1415 01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm a man? I mean, this is and look, he's 1416 01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:28,640 Speaker 1: very reasonable about it, but I could tell he was. 1417 01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:32,640 Speaker 1: He was concerned that we in effect didn't have the 1418 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:36,400 Speaker 1: full right to have the conversation without having a a 1419 01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:39,840 Speaker 1: woman as a part of the conversation. I just don't 1420 01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,120 Speaker 1: I don't view the world that way. Maybe I'm guilty 1421 01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:45,800 Speaker 1: of bucks plaining. Bucks Plaine, that's right, Well, I do 1422 01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:48,400 Speaker 1: talk on radio for it three hours at a time. 1423 01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:51,160 Speaker 1: So there's that, Um, there's plenty of bucks planning that 1424 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,680 Speaker 1: ends up happening. And also I gotta say, Lindsay, you 1425 01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:57,680 Speaker 1: know what's funny. I was. I saw Lindsey Graham do 1426 01:19:57,800 --> 01:19:59,320 Speaker 1: his thing yesterday and we gave him a lot of 1427 01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,000 Speaker 1: props on the show. It was the right move because 1428 01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:03,280 Speaker 1: he deserved it. But I've been saying for weeks that 1429 01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:05,840 Speaker 1: Jeff Flake was gonna flake out, and I sent out 1430 01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:07,960 Speaker 1: a tweet today earlier where I'm like, maybe, I mean, 1431 01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,439 Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong, Maybe I was wrong about this guy. 1432 01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:12,400 Speaker 1: And as soon as I sent it, as soon as 1433 01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:13,840 Speaker 1: I this is the problem with Twitter, as soon as 1434 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,439 Speaker 1: I put it out there, I go, come on, Jeff Flake, 1435 01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,200 Speaker 1: the guys they got such a tool. He's gonna screw 1436 01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:21,639 Speaker 1: us over. And I didn't want to delete it because 1437 01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:24,360 Speaker 1: you know, I put it out there sure enough that 1438 01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:28,320 Speaker 1: my maybe Jeff Flake is not terrible tweet. The the 1439 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:30,840 Speaker 1: half life of that was was like a couple of hours. 1440 01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:33,479 Speaker 1: I mean before just all of a sudden, I was like, oh, 1441 01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:36,920 Speaker 1: this is looking looking pretty bad. And I was very 1442 01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:39,600 Speaker 1: very disappointed. And I no, I wasn't disappointed because I 1443 01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:41,960 Speaker 1: had been predicting this for weeks flake would flake out. 1444 01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,720 Speaker 1: I even had hashtag flake out ready to go. I 1445 01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:46,519 Speaker 1: think I put it out there before anybody else, not 1446 01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:50,240 Speaker 1: that it wasn't particularly obvious by the way, Bruceter, Mike, 1447 01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:52,040 Speaker 1: you want to make a prediction for how this goes down, 1448 01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:55,400 Speaker 1: I think it ends up going at the end. But 1449 01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:58,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be next week is going to be hellish. 1450 01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:02,839 Speaker 1: There will be more story, there will be insane stories, 1451 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,840 Speaker 1: and they will run specials on the most like horrific 1452 01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:10,439 Speaker 1: domestic abuse and sexual violence cases and all these different networks, 1453 01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:12,320 Speaker 1: and it's gonna we're just gonna be inundated with all 1454 01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:16,160 Speaker 1: this stuff next week.

I could be a perfect example. My 1587 01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,200 Speaker 1: last guest, Roy Orbison Jr. Of course you know his 1588 01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:44,160 Speaker 1: his dad pretty woman, and you would think what connection 1589 01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:47,799 Speaker 1: does he have to Guns and Roses? Well, Roy Orberson 1590 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,080 Speaker 1: was recording during the week and on the weekends an 1591 01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:54,360 Speaker 1: unknown band. Uh. He would later find out who's gene 1592 01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:57,360 Speaker 1: R with destroy and use the same studios on the weekends. 1593 01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:59,960 Speaker 1: So when he was fifteen, he'd come in and see 1594 01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:04,040 Speaker 1: the kitchen with the sinks, the filters missing, and he 1595 01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:07,000 Speaker 1: put together. It was until years later he realized that 1596 01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:09,559 Speaker 1: G and R, you know Slash actle, they would take 1597 01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,920 Speaker 1: the filters to create smoking devices back in the day. 1598 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:15,439 Speaker 1: And he learned that when he was fifteen, because you 1599 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:18,000 Speaker 1: know he's Obson's kid and they do a profile on 1600 01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:20,400 Speaker 1: him as a person. Guns and Roses actually had an 1601 01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:23,200 Speaker 1: appetite for destruction. They did, they did. So it's just 1602 01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:26,240 Speaker 1: things like that. I've interviewed a friend of Slash who's 1603 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:29,240 Speaker 1: a quadriplegic who does painting with his wheelchair wheels. But 1604 01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:32,639 Speaker 1: it has that six degrees of G and R Bacon 1605 01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:35,799 Speaker 1: that's my hook. So has like you talked about everything, 1606 01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, your movie quotes and uh, just you know, 1607 01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:42,479 Speaker 1: you'll talk to Minke and me just not politics all 1608 01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,439 Speaker 1: the time. But your basis is politics me. So I'm 1609 01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:48,880 Speaker 1: just not another rock podcast. I figured gen R is 1610 01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:50,760 Speaker 1: a good place, like a good band that has a 1611 01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:53,120 Speaker 1: lot of connects. I think you can make a and 1612 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:54,720 Speaker 1: then I have to get to roll calls. People gonna 1613 01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:56,800 Speaker 1: yell at me. But I think you can make an 1614 01:28:56,800 --> 01:29:00,719 Speaker 1: honest case that Sweet Child of My might be the 1615 01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:03,880 Speaker 1: greatest single rock song of the eighties. I think you 1616 01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:06,120 Speaker 1: can make that case. Sure, And it was great because 1617 01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:08,640 Speaker 1: Roy Overson Jr. Said and he broke it down by 1618 01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:11,720 Speaker 1: guitar chord how that was based off Pretty Woman.

You know, I'll never I'm gonna tell it. No, 1672 01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:10,080 Speaker 1: I won't tell us. I'm not gonna Well, okay, I'm 1673 01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:13,640 Speaker 1: gonna tell a story. I remember when there was this 1674 01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:18,280 Speaker 1: panel at CNN after a after a big terror attack, 1675 01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:20,599 Speaker 1: and they're all these different people, former CI a former 1676 01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:23,760 Speaker 1: general and like an academic and me, and they all 1677 01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:26,880 Speaker 1: went around and said that this terror attack in Europe 1678 01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:29,040 Speaker 1: was was more or less the fault of the Europeans 1679 01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:31,120 Speaker 1: for being bad at assimilation. And I came up and 1680 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 1: I just said, this is crazy. Okay, this is a terrorist. 1681 01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:35,080 Speaker 1: He's blowing up men, women and children are running them 1682 01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:37,519 Speaker 1: over the car in this case, this is not about 1683 01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:40,800 Speaker 1: bad assimilation practices. And I'll never forget. A couple of 1684 01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:43,240 Speaker 1: weeks later, a guy saw me and I just couldn't. 1685 01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:44,920 Speaker 1: I can usually assume he was a liberal. I mean 1686 01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:46,160 Speaker 1: it was New York City and I could tell. And 1687 01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:47,760 Speaker 1: he came off and he was just like, thank you 1688 01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:51,040 Speaker 1: for speaking sense that day. Sometimes being the voice of reason, 1689 01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:55,560 Speaker 1: Brandon is all you need. You just need to be 1690 01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:57,080 Speaker 1: the voice. You don't have to be brilliant, you don't 1691 01:32:57,080 --> 01:32:58,439 Speaker 1: have to be special. You just have to be the 1692 01:32:58,439 --> 01:33:01,080 Speaker 1: guy that's like a normal person would it this way? 1693 01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:03,599 Speaker 1: And Lindsay Graham was the normal person but he got 1694 01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:07,120 Speaker 1: fired up. Martha, next up, Rights, they need to take 1695 01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:10,400 Speaker 1: Jeff Flake to the wood shed. Well, Martha, you know 1696 01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:12,240 Speaker 1: what Jeff Flake has done, though, is that he was 1697 01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:14,680 Speaker 1: the first one, so he gets all the credit for 1698 01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:22,120 Speaker 1: negotiating this compromise situation. And he's then going to or 1699 01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:25,880 Speaker 1: he's already gotten the others to go along with him, 1700 01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:29,200 Speaker 1: so it's not like he's the only one. He Look, 1701 01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:33,840 Speaker 1: he's slimy, but he's not not dumb. You know, he's slimy, 1702 01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:39,160 Speaker 1: but it very very well. Maybe the case that you 1703 01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:43,160 Speaker 1: know he is he comes out of this getting everything 1704 01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:45,120 Speaker 1: he wants out of the bargain, which is a shame, 1705 01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:51,120 Speaker 1: but I do think that's a real possibility. Jim right Buck, 1706 01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:54,640 Speaker 1: My son was gluten free for half his life, and 1707 01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:58,480 Speaker 1: that's how I found Brazilian cheese with Brazilian cheese waffles 1708 01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:01,920 Speaker 1: made with tapioca flower Are you want these in your life? 1709 01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:04,200 Speaker 1: And do not pass a syrup because these bad boys 1710 01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:08,000 Speaker 1: convey them meat.

Actually, 1713 01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:19,720 Speaker 1: anytime you can come up with a delicious and decadent 1714 01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:23,720 Speaker 1: carbohydrate to package all of your meat in, I think 1715 01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:28,240 Speaker 1: it's a good thing. I think everybody wins. Not exactly 1716 01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:32,160 Speaker 1: Keto friendly, though, do you know Keto. I've been Keto diet. 1717 01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:34,360 Speaker 1: I think it's very similar to the Atkins diet, and 1718 01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:36,840 Speaker 1: maybe there's some I won't speak beyond that because I 1719 01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 1: don't really know. Um, I don't really know Jen. Scotty 1720 01:34:43,320 --> 01:34:47,120 Speaker 1: doesn't know. Scotty doesn't know. Jen writes, what the hell 1721 01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:49,960 Speaker 1: The FBI already said they don't want or need to 1722 01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:53,560 Speaker 1: be involved in this freak show, Jen, I know. I agree. 1723 01:34:53,840 --> 01:35:00,559 Speaker 1: It is crazy town, carazsy town, and yeah, here we are. 1724 01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:04,719 Speaker 1: It's a bad idea, folks. We don't learn our lesson. 1725 01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:08,040 Speaker 1: The GOP don't learn. Don't learn the lesson. You give 1726 01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:11,680 Speaker 1: these people time, you give them the ability to to 1727 01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:14,599 Speaker 1: try to throw a wrench into things, They're gonna do it. 1728 01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:19,719 Speaker 1: You gotta remember it's not that the Democrats don't play 1729 01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:23,080 Speaker 1: by the rules of the game, meaning this isn't taking 1730 01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:25,719 Speaker 1: that last time out before the kicker to ice the kicker. 1731 01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:32,000 Speaker 1: That's not what democrats do. Democrats unplugged the scoreboard and 1732 01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:35,080 Speaker 1: take the ball and run home outside the stadium with 1733 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:38,639 Speaker 1: it like they just they'll shut it down. They will 1734 01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:44,040 Speaker 1: shut it down. So I think that's important for everyone 1735 01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:48,880 Speaker 1: to recognize here. They will not play fair. There's no 1736 01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:53,759 Speaker 1: way they will play fair.

He's a member of 1780 01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:04,920 Speaker 1: Team Buck, lives in the Maryland area, and he stops me, 1781 01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:07,000 Speaker 1: and I just I was so happy. It's always nice 1782 01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:08,720 Speaker 1: when I see somebody listen to the show and he's, oh, 1783 01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:10,559 Speaker 1: you know, I listen to your show, And I said, oh, 1784 01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,920 Speaker 1: thank you so much. And I wanted to be like, yeah, 1785 01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:17,240 Speaker 1: but can you not tell anybody about this electric scooter 1786 01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:21,640 Speaker 1: situation here? I know it's so Brandon, it is so nerdy, 1787 01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:24,400 Speaker 1: and I accept that there's no way around the nerdiness 1788 01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:27,960 Speaker 1: of it. And my man card Is is getting smaller 1789 01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:31,400 Speaker 1: and smaller all the time. Uh, but it's so fun 1790 01:38:31,479 --> 01:38:34,080 Speaker 1: and so convenient. I get home, It's a mile and 1791 01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:37,120 Speaker 1: change for me to walk home. I can get home 1792 01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:39,679 Speaker 1: in five minutes and it cost me a dollar fifty. 1793 01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:43,040 Speaker 1: It's pretty dope. That's what the kids used to and 1794 01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:47,000 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone says dope anymore. We have Jen, 1795 01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:52,519 Speaker 1: who rights Buck. Who is the woman sitting direct fine 1796 01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:57,800 Speaker 1: Stein with buzz cut. I don't know who we're talking about, Jen, 1797 01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:01,280 Speaker 1: but if I figure it out, I'll let you know. Kyle. 1798 01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:03,880 Speaker 1: On the topic of the border and drugs, any military 1799 01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:06,439 Speaker 1: pilot who has done some envy G low level training 1800 01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:08,920 Speaker 1: flights along the border will tell you that when you 1801 01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:12,439 Speaker 1: go on the goggles and low light conditions, it's very 1802 01:39:12,479 --> 01:39:16,760 Speaker 1: common to see blacked out drug trailers think breaking bad 1803 01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:19,800 Speaker 1: and pick up trucks with no headlights driving through the 1804 01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:22,479 Speaker 1: middle of the desert. The naked eye can't see it, 1805 01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:24,640 Speaker 1: but those n v G s and infrared sure do. 1806 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:29,920 Speaker 1: They aren't sightseeing enjoy riding their hauling drugs. Kyle, I 1807 01:39:30,240 --> 01:39:32,840 Speaker 1: know a bit about how all of this works, how 1808 01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:35,000 Speaker 1: all this goes, because when I was in the c 1809 01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:38,679 Speaker 1: i A. I spent some time in briefings, not ever 1810 01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:41,920 Speaker 1: working directly with but sometimes in briefings with my d 1811 01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:46,719 Speaker 1: e A colleagues, and the ingenuity of the drug cartels 1812 01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:49,679 Speaker 1: and drug traffickers is a pretty impressive thing. Obviously, it's 1813 01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:52,760 Speaker 1: pernicious because the poison they bring the country kills a 1814 01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:55,680 Speaker 1: lot of people, but it is incredible what they'll do. 1815 01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:59,919 Speaker 1: And when you understand the economics of drugs, you understand 1816 01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:03,120 Speaker 1: at seizing them in a percentage that's you know, less 1817 01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:06,000 Speaker 1: than se or whatever. And by the way, it's probably 1818 01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:10,559 Speaker 1: less than in reality, but seizing them doesn't do anything 1819 01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:13,240 Speaker 1: other than affect the street price and call street price 1820 01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:18,120 Speaker 1: price fluctuations. So yes, it's true, And I have the 1821 01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:22,679 Speaker 1: d E A chief uh interview on Monday. The acting 1822 01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:26,000 Speaker 1: Chief of the Drug Enforcement Administration will join me on 1823 01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:29,639 Speaker 1: Monday on Rising, which you can check out on Hill 1824 01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:32,800 Speaker 1: dot tv. But most importantly share the Apple podcast The 1825 01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:34,880 Speaker 1: Buck Sex and show. Let's not let's not dilute the message. 1826 01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:37,479 Speaker 1: I'll be right back with more uh, well, almost delute 1827 01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:48,000 Speaker 1: the message with a more roll call. Hey teen buck, 1828 01:40:48,400 --> 01:41:00,439 Speaker 1: it's time for roll call. Very appropriate role all music, 1829 01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:03,160 Speaker 1: because I may, in fact, I may, in fact the 1830 01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:05,439 Speaker 1: going to a nightclubs to night New York City for 1831 01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:07,200 Speaker 1: a little bit, which I rarely ever do, one of 1832 01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:09,840 Speaker 1: these hip places where you have to be on a list. 1833 01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:12,640 Speaker 1: It's for the birthday I have to go to. But 1834 01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:15,120 Speaker 1: I'm never on the list unless there's somebody else who's cool, 1835 01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:17,080 Speaker 1: who I just happened to know, who will add me 1836 01:41:17,120 --> 01:41:19,160 Speaker 1: to said list. But I'm never like somebody who's on 1837 01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:22,160 Speaker 1: one of these lists. You know what also happens I 1838 01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:24,720 Speaker 1: the music is always too loud for me. I'm the 1839 01:41:24,720 --> 01:41:27,000 Speaker 1: old man who was like, I don't like this place. 1840 01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:31,960 Speaker 1: It's dark and the music is killing my ear drums. Uh, 1841 01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,920 Speaker 1: all right, back to roll Call Chuck my buddy, because 1842 01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:39,120 Speaker 1: my name is Buck, Chuck writes. During Ford's testimony, the 1843 01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:42,800 Speaker 1: interviewer asked if she had seen Kavanaugh at parties after 1844 01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:46,160 Speaker 1: the incident. She said yes, and nothing more was said. 1845 01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:50,280 Speaker 1: That was an amazing fact that was totally missed by everyone. 1846 01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:53,360 Speaker 1: If she was so broken up over Kavanaugh, why did 1847 01:41:53,400 --> 01:41:56,600 Speaker 1: she attend parties where he was present? Why did she 1848 01:41:56,760 --> 01:42:02,400 Speaker 1: not flee? Why did she not talk Chuck? I find 1849 01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:06,599 Speaker 1: her whole story very strange. Um. Not just the fact 1850 01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:11,040 Speaker 1: that there are these massive holes in it, um, but 1851 01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:16,880 Speaker 1: I find it's strange that she didn't tell anybody when 1852 01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:19,160 Speaker 1: she not just after the party. She didn't tell her 1853 01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:21,680 Speaker 1: best friend, the girl Leland, who she says was at 1854 01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:24,000 Speaker 1: the party. Leland says she doesn't remember this at all, 1855 01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:25,840 Speaker 1: but she didn't tell her friend that she had just 1856 01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:32,080 Speaker 1: been almost according to her story, uh, double person. I mean, 1857 01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:35,160 Speaker 1: I guess it's a gang raped, gang raped upstairs. She 1858 01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:38,400 Speaker 1: didn't tell her friend, she just left. It doesn't she 1859 01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:40,400 Speaker 1: ran as she locked herself in a bathroom. They didn't 1860 01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:41,760 Speaker 1: come and pound on the door and tell her to 1861 01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:43,240 Speaker 1: come out or anything. They just let her stay in 1862 01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:45,760 Speaker 1: the back. It doesn't make sense when you when you 1863 01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:49,479 Speaker 1: run through her testimony and try to visualize this. Why 1864 01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:51,880 Speaker 1: would a guy just jump on top of another guy 1865 01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:54,599 Speaker 1: who's trying to hold her down. I mean what that 1866 01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:56,759 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like two guys who are trying to attempt 1867 01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:59,639 Speaker 1: a gang rape. In fact, the second guy, in effect, 1868 01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:04,879 Speaker 1: Mark Judge, according to her allegation, uh stopped the assault 1869 01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:09,800 Speaker 1: from happening inadvertently, which given that there was the loud 1870 01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:13,559 Speaker 1: music and this all seems so coordinated, are we really 1871 01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:16,320 Speaker 1: to believe that the second guy was that clumsy in 1872 01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:18,840 Speaker 1: this criminal effort. I mean, it's just I don't I 1873 01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:22,439 Speaker 1: think she's I think she has a false memory. I 1874 01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:24,479 Speaker 1: really do. I think she has a false memory. I 1875 01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:26,760 Speaker 1: think she might be a slightly disturbed person, and I 1876 01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:30,280 Speaker 1: think she has a false memory, which doesn't make her 1877 01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:32,920 Speaker 1: a bad person. It makes her person who needs help. 1878 01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:35,800 Speaker 1: The people around her, though, who have used her and 1879 01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:38,680 Speaker 1: weaponized her and all that they are bad people. That 1880 01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:41,200 Speaker 1: is where the real evil comes in. Assuming my theory 1881 01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:43,880 Speaker 1: is correct. She also just could be lying, in which 1882 01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:46,160 Speaker 1: case she is the heart of evil in this process. 1883 01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:51,639 Speaker 1: But that's that's a that's a tougher one. I think 1884 01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:55,000 Speaker 1: it's harder for me to get to that place based 1885 01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:59,400 Speaker 1: on all this, uh, Brian writes, listening to the hearings 1886 01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:01,599 Speaker 1: in your analysis, is I keep going back to Ray 1887 01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:04,720 Speaker 1: Donovan's quote, which office do I go to get my 1888 01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:08,240 Speaker 1: reputation back? Totally true, Brian, And the answer is there's 1889 01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:10,679 Speaker 1: nowhere to go to get your reputation back. The answer 1890 01:44:10,760 --> 01:44:14,000 Speaker 1: is that what we learned from that whole fiasco is 1891 01:44:14,040 --> 01:44:19,320 Speaker 1: that character assassination is a tool of the wicked. It 1892 01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:22,960 Speaker 1: is the ultimate cheap shot because once it's done, even 1893 01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:27,680 Speaker 1: if one's character has been proven to be unfairly be smirched, 1894 01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:33,479 Speaker 1: there's still that sense that you know it's uh, you're damaged, 1895 01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:39,559 Speaker 1: you're tainted by it all, um, Mike writes, this is 1896 01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:42,080 Speaker 1: hatcher from Indiana. That's what my friends called me. You 1897 01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:44,840 Speaker 1: are my friend now, just a hard working biker type 1898 01:44:44,840 --> 01:44:47,360 Speaker 1: no one cares about. Your voice actually got my attention, 1899 01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:50,360 Speaker 1: made me listen and educated me. Literally turned me, literally 1900 01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:52,920 Speaker 1: turned me around. I'm a I'm a truck driver, just 1901 01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:54,880 Speaker 1: in their hard work in American when you opened my eyes. 1902 01:44:54,880 --> 01:44:58,320 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party BS only have literally one friend left 1903 01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:00,639 Speaker 1: in this world, and he's all about the Democratic Party BS. 1904 01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:02,760 Speaker 1: Even though it means I'm totally alone. I'll keep my 1905 01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:06,160 Speaker 1: shield high. Mike. Please do love you man, You're the best. 1906 01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:08,639 Speaker 1: Even with that big head. We'd be lost without you. Well, Mike, 1907 01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,800 Speaker 1: thank you, sir. And the big head. Think of it 1908 01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:15,960 Speaker 1: as like a giant, wobbly beacon of freedom a team 1909 01:45:15,960 --> 01:45:18,960 Speaker 1: buck can follow. That's what a giant cranium is for. 1910 01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:21,559 Speaker 1: It is huge. People say that I say this on radio, 1911 01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:23,320 Speaker 1: and people see me and I can always tell. Sometimes 1912 01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:26,000 Speaker 1: they're like, Brandon, this actually happens. Let go while your 1913 01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:28,479 Speaker 1: head is really big. Yes, I've totally it's it's a 1914 01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:32,080 Speaker 1: noggin you've but you've got a pretty sizeable cranium too 1915 01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:34,519 Speaker 1: for your you know what I mean for your frame. Yeah, 1916 01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:37,080 Speaker 1: there's that's You've got a dome. Dude, You've got a 1917 01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:40,880 Speaker 1: d o M. E legit. It's beautiful. It is a 1918 01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:44,160 Speaker 1: beautiful thing. Rick right shields high Buck. The other day 1919 01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:47,479 Speaker 1: you mentioned that you thought noise ordinances should be more strict. 1920 01:45:47,960 --> 01:45:49,880 Speaker 1: I think it's a slippery slope and goes right along 1921 01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:53,800 Speaker 1: with clothing police. Soon enough, they'll limit something that adversely 1922 01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:57,280 Speaker 1: affects you in a matter you find unnecessary. Also, I 1923 01:45:57,320 --> 01:45:59,639 Speaker 1: don't want to eat my food while smelling smoke from 1924 01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:02,200 Speaker 1: someone's cigarette. And nanny state is in the answer. Let 1925 01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:05,519 Speaker 1: business practices dictate their own policies, and the free market 1926 01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:12,559 Speaker 1: will decide what is acceptable. I I will say, um 1927 01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,439 Speaker 1: that I admit that I am deviating from principal here, 1928 01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:18,280 Speaker 1: and at least I'm honest about it.
