1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Conan the Wonder Dog 2 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: visits the White House, the impeachment timetable, and the wishful 3 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: Frenzy Democrats are actually Putin's puppet. Let's be thankful for 4 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: incredible employment in this country. A federal animal cruelty law 5 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: goes into effect, and Twitter suspending people for putting out 6 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: facts that are more coming up. This is the Buck 7 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode 8 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, 9 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: You're a great American. Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins, analysts, 10 00:00:51,760 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: he's a great guy. Now, so this is right now 11 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: probably the world's most famous dog. I don't think I 12 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: have to use the word probably. And Conan is a 13 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: incredible It's an incredible story. I learned a lot about 14 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: this particular type of dog, and we just gave Conan 15 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: a medal and a plaque and it's really uh And 16 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: I actually think Conan knew exactly what was going on. 17 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bucks Acton show. Conan the dog that 18 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: chased down Abe Baker bug Daddy who went to the 19 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: White House yesterday. One thing that I'm I'm just surprised. 20 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: We can't see to get an answer on and people 21 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: keep saying Conan is male, Conan is female. I understand 22 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: that we are in a time of a particular sensitivity 23 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: about about about gender, but I mean, this is a 24 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: very straightforward process. Do we know, guys, I've seen it 25 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: reported that Conan's a boy dog and Conan's a girl dog. Well, 26 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: Conan's a wonder dog. That much is for sure. We 27 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: know that. And there were a lot of folks that 28 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: were smiling yesterday as the President brought Conan, the Special 29 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: Operations dog to the White House. Sure enough, if you 30 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: thought that, there would be no way that the journos 31 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: would make this something that Trump did wrong or that 32 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: Trump is to be criticized for. There were people who 33 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: were saying that they didn't like Trump bringing the dog 34 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: to the White House. They didn't like that Trump made 35 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: a joke about the dog going after reporters. Nothing is 36 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: allowed to be funny, nothing is allowed to be lighthearted. 37 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: It all has to be always and at all times 38 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: destroy the Trump residency if you deviate from that for 39 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: even a moment, even just to say wow, look at 40 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: look at the really cool Belgian Malinois that is at 41 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: the White House that was involved in a very high 42 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: level and successful US military raid to go after the 43 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: most wanted terrorists really in the world. I think you 44 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: would argue, or you could argue, Abubakara Baghdatis more wanted 45 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: than I'm in Olswaheri. By the way, as we are 46 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: here in New York City, there is also a I 47 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: don't know what is going on down the hallway. There's 48 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: a whole a slew of puppies from what is it, 49 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: from the ASPCA. This is a sign They come to 50 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: iHeart once a year, I believe. And I just went 51 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: to walk and get water and there were just a 52 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: bunch of puppies that just adorable. There's just a whole 53 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: there's just little puppies all play with. There's like six 54 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: of them. They're all they're they're about fifteen feet from 55 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: our studio right now and they're absolutely adorable and they 56 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: want they need homes. They need exactly. They do adoption 57 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: drives every year before the holiday. You know, it would 58 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: be a great wedding wedding gift. Producer Mark I live 59 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: in an apartments. A dog I held is going to 60 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: be huge if you look at its pause. Yeah, it's 61 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: gonna be huge. He's gonna make him get a get 62 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: a house though. Yeah, you gotta you gotta have room 63 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: for the puppies and for a little marks and little 64 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: marquettes that are gonna be coming. Puppies first, then we'll 65 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: talk about That's what I always say, Puppies first, all right. 66 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: So the good news about this week is that the 67 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: journos are all pretty much on early Vaca because they 68 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: work so hard, so we get to talk about whatever 69 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: we want here in the Freedom up. There are some 70 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: interesting things breaking. There's some stories that we can dive 71 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: into a little bit more deeply because we're not in 72 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: the midst of I saw. I think it was Jonathan 73 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: Swan over at Axios who referred to democrats impeachment mania 74 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: as a wishful frenzy. I've said that was very as 75 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: a nice turn of phrase from mister Swan. I agree 76 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: with that, a wishful frenzy. Indeed, Oh it's coming, it's happening. 77 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: That's why we had producer Mark play a montage. We 78 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: need a montage. I haven't seen Team Americans so long 79 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: that I might actually go back and watch it again 80 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: over the holidays, and they never made a sequel, which 81 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: I was promised. I was told there would be a sequel, 82 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: and there was not a sequel. But we had a 83 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: montage for you and it was from twenty seventeen and 84 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: it was everybody from you know, Don Lemon to Joe 85 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: Scarborough and everybody else. The walls are finally closed again 86 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: on this president. He's gone too far. It's all over 87 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: for him. The beginning of the end. That's what I'm 88 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: trying to think. What the other ken phrases are that 89 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: we always hear. It turns out it's not the beginning 90 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: of the end, to borrow from Churchill, it is the 91 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: end of the beginning. However, in this impeachment process, we 92 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: are now in the midst of it. And some interesting 93 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: notes on the timeline. I wanted to establish today where 94 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: it's all just going for a moment, so that we 95 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: can have an expectation as they try to they're going 96 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: to come back. Congress is going to come back, and 97 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: right now they're in recess. They're staffs that were working 98 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: furiously on this report. So I want us to know 99 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: what to expect going forward, because there's going to be 100 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: a race to the finish, because you know, the members 101 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: of Congress are not going to spend Christmas and the 102 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: holiday in DC working. No, no, no, Congress doesn't do 103 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So they're going to have to 104 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: cram and ram all this stuff so that it gets 105 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: done within the timeline. It's almost like politics and the 106 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: political time line, specifically of a Democratic primary. He's pushing 107 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: this whole thing and that it's not about the sanctity 108 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: of our republic and protecting the foundations of our constitution. 109 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's weeping, weeping at the notion that they have 110 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: to impeach the president. They really don't want to. He's 111 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: just such a big, mean meaning that they have to 112 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: impeach him. No, they don't really have to impeach him 113 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: at all. As we know, they were going to impeach 114 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: him no matter what. But let's now look at what's 115 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: going to happen. There's been a clear drop in the 116 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: polls in support for certainly removal of the president and 117 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 1: even impeachment of the president. Some are saying, I believe 118 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: it was Ari Fleischer, who's a savvy political observer. He said, 119 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: perhaps now would be a good time for them to 120 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: just go for a vote of censure instead of going 121 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: all the way here and voting for a an actual 122 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: impeachment of the president. And I'm telling you Democrats can't 123 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: do that because we have to remember what the first 124 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: purpose of all of this is. It's not to get 125 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: to the truth. It's not to protect the Constitution. It's 126 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: not to give a full accounting of the facts to 127 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: the American people about an incident that no one's even 128 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: really going to remember. And six months, maybe even six 129 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: days after at least this whole thing is over. It 130 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: is about trying to make sure the president of the 131 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: United States is at a disadvantage in the election, using 132 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: the process as a weapon against President Trump's reelection chances. 133 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: That's all this is. That's all this is, ultimately, in 134 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: terms of its purpose. The left demands this. The Democrat base, 135 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: the progressive maniacs who stand outside of college amphitheaters and 136 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: chant by the thousands of curses and swears and call 137 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: everyone racist, and all that component of the Democratic Party, 138 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: which is increasingly the Democratic Party, the mainstream of it. 139 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: They insist that a president that they have called a traitor, 140 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: a criminal, a rapist, certainly a liar, many many many 141 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: times crazy. I can't think of I'm probably leaving a 142 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: few out that they've called all those things. How could 143 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: the Democrats say all that and then not impeach him 144 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: as far as the left is concerned, So we are 145 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: going to an impeachment vote that is I think a 146 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: fate at Holm Plea. There's not a better way to 147 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: say it than the French way. Sometimes the French have 148 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: got it. It's like the Germans. Sometimes the Germans have 149 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: some super long word that means something very specific, and 150 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: when you need that word, say it in the German. 151 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,119 Speaker 1: You know, is there a better way to say zeitgeist 152 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: than zeitgeist? I don't think so. That's not a long one, 153 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: but there's some really long ones too. So the timeline 154 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: then becomes really important. As we're going into the holiday, 155 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: we have a moment to catch our breath here and say, 156 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: tomorrow we'll talk about turkey, stuffing, coffee, you know, no 157 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: big whoop, We'll talk about all those things too. The 158 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: the perennial fight year and in year out. Is turkey 159 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: a worthwhile primary protein on your Thanksgiving table? I'm seeing 160 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: some people start some noise on the on the Twitter 161 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: and on the Facebook that maybe you just maybe just 162 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: see her Ribbi and just stop with all this gobble 163 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: gobble nonsense. You know, maybe just go with your favorite 164 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: food and be thankful that you can eat it and 165 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: celebrate in that way. Or is that sacrilege? I don't 166 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: even want to know a producer Mark Things, producer Brandon. 167 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: We'll find out from him tomorrow where he stands out. 168 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: But you're a turkey guy, aren't you. Of course you've 169 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: probably you're probably one of those maniacs who eats turkey, 170 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: not on Thanksgiving. I mean, what do you mean, maniacs 171 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: that eats turkey out? I'm like a whole turkey or 172 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: like like you'll eat turkey at other points of the year. 173 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: You will skip over the far superior meats and eat 174 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: turkey anyway. Yeah, I'll have a turkey sandwich like slice 175 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: Deli meat, maybe a turkey burger occasionally. This is part 176 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: of this is part of the problem here. We need 177 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: we need truth in turkey. I don't see what the 178 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: problem is. Turkey's just not worthwhile. Now, are you gonna 179 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: hate me that I say I'm a dark meat turkey 180 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: type of guy. No, no, no, I like the dark meat, 181 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: dark meat turkey, dark meat chicken. You only live once 182 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: go with the dark meat. It's more that's it's higher 183 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: fat content that who cares, it's delicious, Brandon, you a 184 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: turkey guy. I guess we're getting this done today. Yeah. No, 185 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: I like turkey, turkey and cheese because I told you 186 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: I eat like a ten year old nice turkey and cheese, 187 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: And I like the one you gonna have like a slice. 188 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: Are you gonna have like turkey and then some mashed 189 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: potatoes then like a slice of American cheese? Is that 190 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: what you go for? What's your Yeah? That sounds good. 191 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, yeah, lunches on you good talk. 192 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: So the impeachment timeline instead of the turkey timeline, this 193 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: is what's gonna happen. If you look back at the 194 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: impeachment process from the Clinton era when I was I 195 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: was just a young lad. I was in high school. 196 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: I don't remember much about this. I do remember seeing 197 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: some of the snippets of the interview on TV and going, whoa, 198 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: there's some stuff that happens with the president that's really surprising. 199 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: But it started and finished within a matter of a 200 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: few months. This time around, they're going to have to 201 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: do the same thing. Why it's not because democracy dictates 202 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: it be. So it's not because the vision of the 203 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: founders blah blah, it's none of that. It is because 204 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: Democrats have to get this thing done before. You have 205 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of Democrats senators who need to be showing 206 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: up in the Iowa caucuses and in the first New 207 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: Hampshire primary in early February. This thing has got to 208 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: get done before then. Now question that. I so. So 209 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: that's why they're trying to ram this thing through. They're 210 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: going to have the report out, maybe as soon as 211 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: next week. I'm seeing you're also going to have the 212 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: Horowitz report schedule. This is the report from within the 213 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: Department of Justice looking into Fiser abuse. We've already talked 214 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: about this a little bit on the show. I believe 215 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: it's December or ninth or the tenth of the eleventh, 216 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: something like that. Second week December, you have the Fiser 217 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: Report coming out. I don't know how they're going to 218 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: try to time this with the release of the impeachment report, 219 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: but we already know what the impeachment report's going to say. 220 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: It's just going to be another version of the recitation 221 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: of bloviation and exaggerated disconnected factoids that Adam Schiff has 222 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: been reading out at the start of each proceeding. All 223 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: that's all it will be. They may tack onto it 224 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: some other things. And right now they're probably furiously looking 225 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: at the data to decide do we call it bribery, 226 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: do we call it extortion? Do we call it abuse 227 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: of power? Abuse of power has the most leeway. It's 228 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: not bribery and it's not extortion, so they can call 229 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: it that. But now they're just making now and now 230 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: they're just crazy, and which I guess they are. But 231 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: that's a leap. Everybody knows that's a leap. But they 232 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: have to get this thing done before the Iowa CAUCUSUS 233 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: rolls around or else they're going to start to have 234 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: some problem. It's going to look like they didn't really 235 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: think this thing through. I think it's quite possible they 236 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: didn't really think this thing through. That brings me to 237 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: my main man, Cocaine, Mitch Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. 238 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: He and his Senate Republican colleagues will be in a 239 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: position to drag using the process just like Democrats do. 240 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: To drag the Democrats through an annoying, difficult stretch just 241 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: to sort of show the country as much dirty laundry 242 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: from the Democrats side as possible on all of this. 243 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: Get Hunter Biden out there, call Adam Shift. I worry 244 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: that this is where Republicans say, oh, well, we're just 245 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: Republicans in the Senate. I mean we'll say, oh, well, 246 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: we're through all that, We're too good to do that. 247 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: Now we're not going to do that. No, No, this 248 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: is we are going into the twenty twenty election. My friends. 249 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: This is an eye for an eye territory. This is 250 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: time to make the Democrats live by the rules that 251 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: they established for all of us. And the only rule 252 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: is that there are no rules when they have power. 253 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: So maybe it's time they get a taste of their 254 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: own medicine. I hope cocaine Mitch decides to exact a 255 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: terrible price from the Democrats through the Senate trial. We 256 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: will see if he does. But now you know it's 257 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: got to happen really in a matter of weeks. They 258 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: do not have months unless they plan on just allowing 259 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: the impeachment proceeding in the Senate to hijack the Democrat primary. 260 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: And given that Bloomberg just got in, everybody understands that 261 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: this Democrat primary, there's no front runner. There's no one 262 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: who's particularly inspiring or great. I don't think they want 263 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: to add to their troubles, unless, of course, you want 264 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: to make the argument that Hillary Clinton is behind all 265 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: of this on the sidelines, you know, be in the shadows, 266 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: just waiting for her moment to emerge as the consensus candidate. 267 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: But let's not get too conspiratorial. Not today, maybe tomorrow. 268 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure if we came to an agreement 269 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: today that it would be enough time. I'm not even 270 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: sure if we came to an agreement today that it 271 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: would be enough time. I'm not even sure if we 272 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: came to an agreement today. So we had Nancy Pelosi 273 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: there talking about the US Mexico Canada Agreement, and we 274 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: kind of turned it into the remix. It's fine, whatever 275 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: I might even today enough time. You get the idea. 276 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: Our point here is that they feel like they don't 277 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: have time for this in the Congress. I'm here to 278 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: just remind everybody that they got time for this sham 279 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: and beachment trial. The US Mexico Canada Agreement, which does 280 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: need a cooler name. I am not gonna lie to you. 281 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: It needs a cooler name. For sure, would benefit American workers, 282 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: would help this economy, would help the country. It's the 283 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: dare I say, the right thing to do. If Congress 284 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: took its job seriously, if the Democrat majority in the 285 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: House wasn't entirely consumed with and only concerned with harmon 286 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: President Trump's electoral prospects, then they would most certainly take 287 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: action on this item. They would do what they could 288 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: to pass this. But it seems they have no interest 289 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: whatsoever in that because legislation that would pass going into 290 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: an election year would benefit the president. I think this 291 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: is necessary context for evaluating all of the sanctimonious speeches 292 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: you will hear from Democrats in the days ahead about how, oh, 293 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: our duty to protect the American people, we have to 294 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: protect them from trumpy so evil. Well, they could still 295 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: say all the horrible things they say about Trump and 296 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: try to damage him in all the ways that they 297 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: do and do business that helps the American people. They 298 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: don't have to make these things mutually exclusive. They make 299 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: it mutually exclusive because anything that is good that comes 300 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: out of government right now is to the benefit of Trump, 301 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: and he is the president of the United States, despite 302 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: their delusions otherwise, so they have no interest in really 303 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: helping people. I also mentioned I believe that not the 304 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: show that we should be thank full for the employment 305 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,120 Speaker 1: numbers at this time of year. A lot of people 306 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: going into this Thanksgiving and have jobs that we were 307 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: told would not exist based on the numbers of even 308 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: the projections back in twenty fourteen. We are at you know, 309 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 1: for people to try to say, this is the Obama economy, 310 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: and that's preposterous, that's a joke. We are at a 311 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: fifty year low. It has been fifty years since we 312 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: have had so many people, particularly of prime working age 313 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: from twenty five to fifty four, which I leave is 314 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: also the demo for media stuff, right, twenty five fifty four, Yeah, 315 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: consider that prime working age two. It's been fifty years 316 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: since we've had so many people of that age range 317 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: in the workplace gainfully employed. The country right now, despite 318 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 1: the absence of this narrative in the media, the country 319 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: is doing very well. Trump's policies and decision making has 320 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: been working. It is bringing benefits to you and to me. 321 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: We should be a bit thankful if the fact remains 322 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: we have a president, a commander in chief who has 323 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: no respect for the rule of law and no concern 324 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: whatsoever for ethics or honor or for the values that 325 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: truly make America great. No respect for law. That's what 326 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: they say about this president. Meanwhile, you have had forty 327 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: nationwide injunctions by liberal activist judges against this president. That 328 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: is twenty x what you had under the Obama presidency. 329 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: Because people who are of the leftist mindset, they are 330 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 1: increasingly totalitarian in their aims. They want control of everything. 331 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: They want to punish you for speech, for thoughts, even 332 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: if they can, if they can find a way. I 333 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: do believe as we find out more about the way 334 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: the Chinese use algorithms and the mass surveillance state to 335 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: try and demand obedience of people and even do education 336 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: in real time online of anyone who would dissent from 337 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: the dominant view, that a lot of liberals look at 338 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: that with some degree of envy. If only we could 339 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: do that here. Meanwhile, a lot of us look at 340 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: this and say, they already have near information dominance because 341 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: of the way social media works, because of the way 342 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: are broadcasting networks have just they have adopted this narrative 343 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: that liberalism is now liberalism and the truth are synonymous. 344 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: So anything a liberal thinks must be true. It's not 345 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: that they're liberal, it's that it's just the way it is. 346 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: This is a stunning, stunning departure from good faith journalism, 347 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: from good faith provision of information. But meanwhile, Michael Bloomberg 348 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: runs around saying that we are to be terrified of 349 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: what the president will do in this country, and he 350 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: has no respect them for the rule of law, no 351 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: respect for ethics or honor. You mean like the Clintons. 352 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: That's a family with a lot of respect for ethics 353 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: and honor. Right, that was what we were told we 354 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: should That was the option we should have taken the 355 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: last time around. The same people lecturing you right now 356 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: about how Trump is so unethical and so they're also 357 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: the same people who pretend that Hunter Biden getting millions 358 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: of dollars to do a no show job in Ukraine 359 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: while his dad is pointment on policy there. That's fine, 360 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: it's fine, no problem, nothing to see there. It's not illegal. Yeah, 361 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: well neither us. What the president did with Ukraine is it? 362 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: Is that the standard or not. I'm just curious. The 363 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: standard changes every day, though, depends on whatever they want. 364 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: I wonder what changed here. It wasn't long ago that 365 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: Michael Bloomberg, who was the latest entry into the Democrat primary, 366 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: Michael Bloomberg, said that he was too old. Would you producer, Brandon, 367 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: would you play clips seventeen? Please? But it's just not 368 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: going to happen on a national level for somebody like 369 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: me starting where I am, unless I was willing to 370 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: change all my views and go on what CNN called 371 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: an apology tour. Joe Biden went out and apologized for 372 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: being male over fifty white. He apologized for the one 373 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: piece of legislation which is actually a pretty good anti 374 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: crime bill, which if the Liberals ever read it, most 375 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: of the things they like would be easy in that bill. 376 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: They should have loved that. They don't even bother to 377 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: read it. Your anti crime, you must be anti populist, 378 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: and so everybody else. And Betto whatever his name is, 379 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: he's apologized for being born I don't mean van kind 380 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: and people's a lot of people love him and says 381 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: a smart guy, and if he wins, I'd certainly support him. 382 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: I just like him, so sorry that I was born 383 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: a sis gender hetero male who is white named Betto 384 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: even I mean, I took the name betto, but I'm 385 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: still a white sis Nermel. It's true what he says 386 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: here about how you have to go around and apologize 387 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: all the time. In fact, there's data that Andy know 388 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: who will be talking about again here in a minute. 389 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: There's data that is circulating right now that the only 390 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: the only racial group in America that views its own 391 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: racial group negatively white liberals. White liberals do have white 392 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: liberal guilt. This is a real thing. And this is 393 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: a poll that's been circulating all week. And my friend 394 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: and you know, if he is no longer suspended from Twitter, 395 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: we'll get to that. You could see it in his 396 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: in his feed. Now, let me just first say that 397 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: no one should ever feel badly about their race. It is. 398 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: It is a bizarre and immoral thing to take the 399 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: view that one race is is. Let you know that 400 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 1: your own race would be less than another race. This 401 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: is This is completely contrary to sound and ethical thinking 402 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: for anybody. All races are the same, All race are 403 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: just human beings. It doesn't these are superficial characteristics of 404 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: no importance to us as people. And yet white liberals 405 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: think that there's something wrong with being white we've all 406 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: had this suspicion for a while. People have talked about 407 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: white guilt since I was remember hearing the phrase eman 408 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: back when I was in high school, and it's a 409 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: very real phenomenon. You have these these white liberals they've 410 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: adopted because they believe so much in the power of 411 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: victimhood and victim's status. They talk about this for all 412 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: these other individuals. The only way that they can then 413 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: leverage the victimhood status of other so called the press 414 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: groups is for them to say that they're sorry, that 415 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: they realize they are, by nature white liberals, by nature 416 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: of their skin color, are part of the oppressive class, 417 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: and therefore they have to make amends. And to make 418 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: amends they want to elevate all of the allegedly victimized 419 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: classes and all that way they become the good people, 420 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: and the good people who also need to be in power. 421 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: I might add, this is where you get these sanctimonious 422 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: white liberals who will walk around constant people like Betto 423 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: orc a perfect example. It's country is so racist. It's 424 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: just like the most racist country ever. And I just 425 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: understand that by telling everybody how racist in his like, 426 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: Betto is not racist because he's saying it's always like 427 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: so racist. That's where we are. That is where white 428 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: liberals are and their beliefs about all of this. But 429 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 1: you know, Bloomberg is right on some things, and the 430 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: things that he's right on will be a problem for 431 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: him in the prim area, the Democratic primary. You're not 432 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: allowed to say stuff like lower more aggressive policing to 433 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: lower crime can be a good idea, whether you believe 434 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: in stopping frisk or not. There was a lot of 435 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: other stuff that went on in New York City to 436 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: bring the crime rate down down dramatically, down, so dramatically 437 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: that it feels like an entirely different city from what 438 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: it did when I was when I was growing up here. 439 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: But I mentioned to you, Andy know before, and I 440 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: didn't want to touch on this topic because it ties 441 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: into a few things. One of my favorite podcasts, as 442 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: you know that, I've listened to it a long time, 443 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: and I don't I don't have the time to listen 444 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: to really any other because this is the best podcast. 445 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: I don't only have a lot of time to listen 446 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: to other podcasts, but once in a while someone will say, 447 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: you gotta listen to this, and I listened to Joe 448 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: Rogan and Neval Ravocant talk to each other on the 449 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: Joe Rogan Show. And since that, I've been following Nevall's 450 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: work a little bit more when I can, and he 451 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: tweeted out I think it was earlier this week that 452 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: they want to police your speech because they can't police 453 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: your thoughts. The idea of being if they could police 454 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: your thoughts, they would they would like to get into 455 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: that is the ultimate control. And for people who think 456 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: that controlling others is necessary for a good society, for 457 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: people who think that control of the population through government 458 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: that is benevolent but all powerful, right, this is the 459 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: government in place of God. This is central to the 460 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: entire progressive thesis, a progressive approach to America, to any country. 461 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: And this is why they also want one world government. 462 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: They'll be one super government that has all the right ideas, 463 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: that takes care of us all so well. I mean, 464 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: this has resulted in misery, deprivation, slaughter, and genocide in 465 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: other countries, the same thinking taken to its ultimate ends. 466 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: But liberals still think in this country that they'll get 467 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: it right, and so they're just creeping along. There's just 468 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: this edging along toward total control and control of thoughts 469 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: is certainly a part of that process. We see this 470 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: in China. I mean they're trying to leverage technology. Now 471 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: you have the social credit system, you have a mass 472 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: surveillance state, and now they're using algorithms to determine who's 473 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: a problem, who is not on board with the ideology 474 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: that they are supposed to be or that they are 475 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: told they need to be. We see this working all 476 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: the time, and unfortunately has also seeped into our own, 477 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: our own system of censorship. It's not quite as pernicious here, 478 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: it's not quite as as powerful as it is in 479 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: the context of China. But Andy No, who is best 480 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: known for being a guy who will go out there 481 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: and cover Antifa, well, Andy No responded to somebody who 482 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: said that essentially transgender individuals are under murderous assault in 483 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: this country, that there is a plague of violence against 484 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: trans gender Oh, by the way, he also I found 485 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: here Andy's this is a twenty eighteen survey from a 486 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: n S. I don't even know what that is, but 487 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 1: Andy tweeted this out. Mean in group bias by Raith resnicity, 488 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: and you have a huge disparity of white liberals who 489 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: do not like do not like the fact that they 490 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: are that they are white, which is a thing that 491 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: it's not surprising to any of us, but it is 492 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: noteworthy as we see what's going on. I'm trying to 493 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: find this other one where you have an Andy No 494 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: Twitter suspense conservative journalist Andy Know and here's why he 495 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: committed hateful conduct according to Twitter. You might wonder, what 496 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: does a journalist. By the way, Andy is, Andy is 497 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: a minority, He's Asian American. He's also openly he's gay. 498 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: What did Andy No do that was hateful such that 499 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: in response to a Chelsea Clinton tweet, ah, white liberal, 500 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: there we go. In response to a Chelsea Clinton tweet, 501 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: Twitter would suspend him. Well, Chelsea Clinton tweeted out the following. 502 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: Since twenty thirteen, more than one hundred and fifty trans 503 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: people have been murdered in the US. The majority are 504 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: black transgender women. An epidemic of violence and hate. Now 505 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,959 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty over the course of six years. 506 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: To call that an epidemic in a country of three 507 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million people would seem to be a 508 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: bit of a stretch, right, What is the overall number? 509 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: What is the overall population and how much What is 510 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: the homicide rate for them versus the homicide rate for 511 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: black transgender females. It turns out that there is no 512 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: particularly high rate. But see you start to ask these 513 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: questions and people get angry at you. What are you saying? 514 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: It's not no, of course, it's it's a horrible thing 515 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: that anybody would would murder anyone of any gender identity 516 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: or endy, any race, anything. It's the most heinous crime 517 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: out there. You cannot murder people. We're all opposed to murder. 518 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: But if we're talking about public policy, and if we're 519 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: talking about the numbers, then can't we be honest about it? 520 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: Andy wrote that the one hundred and fifty deaths over 521 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: several years, we're in a nation of more than three 522 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: hundred million people. That's hardly an epidemic. He said, the 523 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: US is one of the safest countries in the world 524 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: for trans people. The murder rate of trans victims is 525 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: actually lower than for the CIS population, meaning for the 526 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: for the heterosexual population. And he also then tweeted out 527 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: the following, also, who is behind a vast majority of 528 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: these murders of black transgender females, African American males not allowed. 529 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: By the way, this this is statistically he is correct, 530 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: This is true, This is a fact. This is not 531 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: a for debate. In fact, there's only a handful of 532 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: these one hundred and fifty murders that Chelsea Clinton that 533 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: she's going to run for Senate and then president. By 534 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: the way, just you heard it here if I haven't 535 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: heard it somewhere else. Chelsea Clinton, she thinks she should 536 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: be the leader of the free world because mommy and 537 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: daddy are famous. But and we're politicians. Obviously Dad was president. 538 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: Mom thought she was going to be president, still does. 539 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: But one hundred and fifty murders over the course of 540 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: six years, we're told this is an epidemic. It's not 541 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: an epidemic. Every single life lost is sad, is wrong, 542 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: and there should be a full investigation and the perpetrator 543 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: should be punished. But this is not an epidemic. So 544 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: Chelsea Clinton has millions of followers. Why is she saying this, Oh, 545 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: because it's about it. It's the virtue signaling of look 546 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: at this particularly oppressed group, and how concerned Chelsea Clinton 547 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: is with this oppressed group. Andy Know comes out and says, well, 548 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: that's actually not a lot of people. By the numbers 549 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: per capita nationwide, it's not and it's lower than the 550 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: national average for people being killed in this country outside 551 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: of any victimized group, and a vast majority of the 552 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: perpetrators happened to be African American males, which he just 553 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: pointed out. That's just a sit that's also true. So 554 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: the people that are killing these black transcender females are 555 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly and I think was only a handful of acceptance 556 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: to this blackmails just he just shared that, and this 557 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: is data. You can check it up on the check 558 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: it out on the FBI website. You can check it 559 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: out online. This is data. Twitter suspended him for this 560 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: for hateful conduct. Why is this hateful? Why is this hateful? 561 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: We're talking about numbers. We're talking about a public policy 562 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: issue of importance. Why is the number okay to share 563 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: and then analyze it, but then contra or rather other numbers, 564 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: additional numbers to give context, are not allowed to be shared, all, 565 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: my friends, because unfortunately the left has already adopted this 566 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: position for a long time, and you're going to see 567 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: more and more of it. Facts can be hateful. Numbers 568 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: can be hateful. It's whatever they determine, that's what is hateful. Twitter, Facebook, Google, 569 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: all the different news organizations. They get to decide what 570 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: is hateful because they get to decide what is speech 571 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: and what is allowable. We getting pushed closer and closer 572 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: to a society where we no longer really have freedom 573 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: of speech. We seem to be forgetting this. They tell 574 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: us what, oh, we're going to get into, by the way, 575 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: pronoun users Later on in the show, too, they tell 576 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: us what we can say about other individuals, and they 577 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: tell us, now the force of law will be used. 578 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: They're openly advocating for hate crime laws that criminalize speech. 579 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: Say the wrong word and you can go to prison. 580 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: Journalists who are supposed to live and die by the 581 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: First Amendment. Anything to protect the First Amendment. Journalists are saying, yeah, 582 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: well except for really hateful stuff. This is the country 583 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: we are increasingly living in. And I think we are 584 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: a bit of the boiling frog in the pot here. 585 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: We are not paying close enough attention to how quickly 586 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: our rights are routing on this at all. I hope 587 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: Andy gets his Twitter account back. I got to check 588 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: and see, but it's just a matter of time before 589 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: yours truly gets suspended. You watch God's used imperfect people 590 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: all through history. King David wasn't perfect, Saul wasn't perfect, 591 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: Salomon wasn't perfect. And I actually gave the president a 592 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: little one pager on those old Testament kings about a 593 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: month ago, and I shared with him. I said, mister President, 594 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: I know there are people that say, you know, you 595 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: said you were the chosen one, and and I said 596 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: you were. I said, if if you're a believing Christian, 597 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: you understand God's plan for the people who rule and 598 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: and and judge over us on this planet, in our 599 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 1: in our government, pretty uncontroversial stuff if you're a believing 600 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: Christian from Governor Rick Perry, now energy sectary Rick Perry 601 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: and liberals freak out about it. Why because they're okay 602 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: with Democrats in office talking about God. But when Republican 603 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: does it, the theocracy has arrived. I just had to do. 604 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: But this was so absurd, so silly. This became a 605 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: news story yesterday that Rick Perry. Christians is that God 606 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: chooses leaders and that God's hand is at work in 607 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: all things in the world. God has a plan. This 608 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 1: is now controversial. Got to have background checks done for 609 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: your business. That's where my friends at Global Verification Network 610 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: come in.

Now, I understand that there are 612 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: a lot of other people out there who are doing 613 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: background checks by getting the work to people overseas. You 614 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: don't want that. You want someone who's doing it all 615 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,240 Speaker 1: here in the US of A. You want to support 616 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: a veteran owned company and a company that does not 617 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: outsource its work its investigations overseas. It also means better 618 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: control over the data and better customer service. When you 619 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: call Global Verification Network, you're going to get somebody on 620 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: the phone who can answer any questions you have fast 621 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: whatever size business you're in anywhere across the country.

Again, that's 627 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 1: my GVN dot com. Cisgender, fat shaming, heteronormativity, intersectionality, patriarchy, 628 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: rape culture. These are all terms that you have probably 629 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: become familiar with, if not from listening to this show, 630 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: just because they're out there now in the discourse. They 631 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: sound like they should mean something because you hear them 632 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,919 Speaker 1: a lot. But where did they come from? In fact, 633 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: I told you all, what was it now? Maybe a 634 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, that I had just heard this 635 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: term cisgender for the first time, which struck me as 636 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: odd because, starting at a very young age, I had 637 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: a pretty expansive vocabulary. I'd never heard of this thing before. 638 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: Where did it come from? Intersectionality? Where did it? Where 639 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: did it come from? Well, there is a fantastic article 640 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,959 Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal by Peter Bagozian about something 641 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: called idea laundering. This really matters, by the way, even 642 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: if you don't care about what crazy academics are saying 643 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: on campuses, this is you often have heard me say 644 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: that campuses are the laboratories for left wing craziness. That's 645 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: where they're doing the most experimentation, in a place where 646 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: there are really no constraints on the stupidity, on the 647 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: absurdity of their ideas, and they come out of these 648 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 1: laboratories with these ideas. The campuses propagate these different words 649 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: and concepts into the broader society with the stamp of 650 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 1: approval of well, it's comes from university professors who have 651 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: peer review journals, and Bogosian walks us through what he 652 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: calls idea laundering. This is really interesting because this is 653 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: how it all happens. The reason why your kids, for 654 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: those of you who have kids about this age, will 655 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: be coming home from school, certainly from high school, being 656 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: told about gender identity versus sex. What's the difference? The 657 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: reason your kids will come home and be told that 658 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: intersectionality is the truth of all American society, that there 659 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: are different groups that are constantly in a battle for 660 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: who is oppressing who. Heteronormativity a fancy way of saying 661 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: most people are heterosexual, that's all that, that's what, and 662 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: then they extrapolate all these things from that concept. That's 663 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: the heteronormativity is that the dominant culture, the dominant perception 664 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: that people have of sexuality is that men are attracted 665 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 1: to women and women are attracted to men. It's not 666 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: the case that that's the only way things are in 667 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: this or any other society, but that has been the 668 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: dominant paradigm. How do you get these ideas. Oh, fat 669 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: shaming is the one that actually Bogosian singles in on here. 670 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,760 Speaker 1: What do you do if you are a particularly activist 671 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: minded academic, how do you create concepts that then will 672 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: get fed into the broader society and have a real influence. 673 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 1: I mean you look at, for example, the Obama administration. 674 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: The Obama administration's policy on bathroom usage for people that 675 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: have gender identity issues was you better allow the you know, 676 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 1: the twelve year old boy to use the twelve year 677 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,720 Speaker 1: old girls locker room, or else we will consider pulling 678 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: Department of Education funding under discrimination discrimination accusations that you're 679 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: being discriminatory. So this goes all the wayp About rape culture, 680 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: This was another one I kept hearing about all the time, 681 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: rape culture on college campuses. CNN even had a documentary. 682 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,280 Speaker 1: I didn't watch it because it's CNN and CNN's crap, 683 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: but CNN had a documentary I think called The Hunting 684 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,439 Speaker 1: Ground about college campuses. There were these journals who were 685 00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: so very gullable, not just in the Duke lac Loss 686 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,799 Speaker 1: case where there was no rape and there was a 687 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: really a deranged accuser who tried to ruin a bunch 688 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 1: of people's lives and a power mad Democrat prosecutor knifeong 689 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 1: try to ruin some young boys lives. Media went along 690 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: with that, because you know, there's this culture of rape 691 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,879 Speaker 1: on campus. Rape is a felony. You know, you sit 692 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: down to have lunch with somebody and you tell them 693 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: that you got caught up in a stock scam ten 694 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: years ago, you served a little time. They might say, yeah, 695 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, we all make mistakes. You know, you served 696 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: your debt. Decide you sit down and say that you 697 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 1: were convicted of rape. The person's going to rightly want 698 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: to end the lunch and say, what the heck is this? 699 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: It's a rape culture that just the notion that that's 700 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: a phrase that should be in common usage is absurd 701 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: on college campuses, That's what they say. Where does all 702 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,919 Speaker 1: of this come from? It comes from campuses. It comes 703 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: from the takeover of academia by left wing activists with 704 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: degrees in social studies without really much to add to 705 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: the discourse, and who don't really view their role as 706 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: making sure that people who go to school know things 707 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: and gain certain skills. They view their role as making 708 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: sure they only know certain things that they tell them. 709 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: They have to know for the purposes of being the 710 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: shock troops of the left, when they are going through 711 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: adulthood and then raising their own children, they are indoctrination factories. 712 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,839 Speaker 1: You see this all the time. How often do you 713 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: have a left wing speaker show up at a college 714 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: campus and thou people challenge me on this. By the way, 715 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: when we talked about the a Culter speech at Berkeley, 716 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,439 Speaker 1: I said I had brought this up in the show, 717 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: and someone, some blue check journal idiot was saying, to me, 718 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: who this happens, look at the look at a Trump rally? Said, well, 719 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: am I talking about political rallies, talking about invited speakers 720 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: to a college campus. Name me one time that a 721 00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,760 Speaker 1: left wing speaker has shown up at a college campus 722 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: and there have been a thousand, two thousand, angry, screaming, profane, shrill, 723 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: shrieking conservatives saying you're not allowed to speak here. How 724 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: many I could sit here and run through, off the 725 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 1: top of my head, dozens of speeches where that has 726 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: happened with leftists. I mean, I don't know if the 727 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: number was one thousand or one hundred protests, but you 728 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: know where they try to shut it down, shut it down, 729 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: don't allow people to be heard. The ideas are too dangerous, 730 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 1: you see, including ideas that in many cases have been 731 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: considered consensus or status quo within the academy, stretching back 732 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: for decades. How do they do this? How do they 733 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: change the conversation so abruptly so that now we have 734 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: to use terminology that they set for us. Ah, let 735 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: me bring you back to this Pagosian piece, an idea 736 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,919 Speaker 1: laundering its fabulous piece, really important, because this is why 737 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: you're again while your kids are coming home saying sis 738 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 1: gender and gender idea and all the stuff. You're like, 739 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,919 Speaker 1: what it all starts in the campus. Here's what they do. 740 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,359 Speaker 1: You got a bunch of people that feel a certain 741 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: way in academia. We feel like fat shaming, for example, 742 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 1: is wrong. Now being mean to anyone is wrong. Being 743 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,959 Speaker 1: mean to anyone because their weight. I think I'll vast 744 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: majority of us all have different times or we're struggling 745 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 1: with weight, or we're trying to get a little healthier, 746 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: we're trying to drop some pounds. There's a lot that 747 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: goes into weight, including genetics, including people's socioeconomic circumstances. You know, 748 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 1: it's just not as simple as oh, just show willpower. 749 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's a lot that goes into it, 750 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: and people should be considered about that, and it's a 751 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: struggle that I think a lot of us all share. 752 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: But that's different than creating an academic discipline around fat shaming, 753 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 1: which is what colleges have done. How they do it 754 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 1: will they start a journal, an academic journal. In this case, 755 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 1: it was called Fat Studies. They created an academic periodical 756 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: called Fat Studies. And they had than other academics right 757 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: about how talking about fat as a bad thing, or 758 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,720 Speaker 1: being overweight or obesi is a bad thing was psychologically 759 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 1: harmful and distressing and all. And then they have other 760 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: academics who peer review this. But they see the peer 761 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,359 Speaker 1: review process is supposed to be, and this goes back 762 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 1: to the roots of the academy. It's supposed to be 763 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 1: a process of distilling truth through opposition to what is 764 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: being written there or looking for flaws, looking for counter arguments, 765 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 1: looking for ways that this that the peer review is 766 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: supposed to be. Is this thing unassailable? Is it true? 767 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 1: Try to show us that it's not true. That's not 768 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 1: how peer review works. And social social studies departments or whatever, 769 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 1: social science is rather which are not science. As a 770 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 1: political science major, it can tell you there was no 771 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 1: science to it at all. The few times we looked 772 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,839 Speaker 1: at regression analysis and statistics and things, everybody's eyes rolled 773 00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:01,399 Speaker 1: that in their head and they said, let's argue more 774 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 1: about you know, abortion rights. Nobody cared about any of 775 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: that other stuff. There's really no science to it. But 776 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: if you look at the social sciences across the academy, 777 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 1: which you find out is that as long as you're 778 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 1: taking a left wing point of view, the peer review 779 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: process for these journals that they just make up is 780 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,319 Speaker 1: meant to just consolidate the opinion around whatever is being promulgated. 781 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 1: So they all they all go, yeah, it's great. You know, 782 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 1: the kind of fat shaming is a terrible thing. And 783 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 1: then when people say, well, what about the health risks 784 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,840 Speaker 1: and the I mean, that's the biggest public health epidemic 785 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 1: we really face actually now has to do directly with 786 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 1: diseases of excess, disease of excess calories and the type 787 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 1: two diabetes, among other things, and they just shout all 788 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 1: that down with excuse me, we have a fat studies 789 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: journal that explains all of this. It is peer reviewed. 790 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: It is the science now, but it's not the science. 791 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:03,840 Speaker 1: It's just the consolidation of like minded opinion in something 792 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 1: they are calling a journal that they are saying is 793 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: peer reviewed that is really just there forwarding of a narrative, 794 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: a narrative based on emotion and feeling, a narrative that 795 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:20,880 Speaker 1: is not rooted in any reality. Here's an example in 796 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:25,800 Speaker 1: Fat Studies, the Journal Toward a Fat Pedagogy, a study 797 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 1: of pedagogical approaches aimed at challenging obesity discourse in post 798 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: secondary education. Does anyone even know? I mean, I just 799 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: read that to you, dude. I read it. I've read 800 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 1: it before, I read the piece before it came on error. 801 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 1: I don't evenally know what they think they're saying here. 802 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,879 Speaker 1: And that's part of this as well. They dress up 803 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: flimsy thoughts with fancy words because then most people just 804 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:52,279 Speaker 1: sort of say, Okay, it looks it looks like it's academic, 805 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 1: and therefore there's some impremature on the fact that this 806 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 1: is coming out of a college or a university. There 807 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: must be some truth to it. I always say that 808 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 1: word a little bit funny because I feel like I 809 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: say it wrong sometimes. But whatever, I learned words by 810 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: reading them, not by hearing them. These articles tell us 811 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 1: that obesity is a narrative such as being healthy at 812 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,399 Speaker 1: and there's another narrative such as being healthy at ever 813 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 1: at every size, and there's no reason to privilege one 814 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,800 Speaker 1: narrative over another. Is to see this. The reason why 815 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 1: he focused in on fat studies here in this piece 816 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 1: is because that's just not true. Being morbidly obese is very, 817 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,879 Speaker 1: very dangerous for your health. There is no alternative. There 818 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: is no scientific alternative narrative about how being morbidly obeses 819 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 1: is okay for your health. This is not the same 820 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 1: thing as don't be mean to people that are struggling 821 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 1: with weight. I've struggled with weight. Lots of people want 822 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 1: to struggle with weight. Everybody struggles with weight. Really, that 823 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 1: you know you come across in a day to day 824 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,279 Speaker 1: basis just they don't necessarily talk about it. But to 825 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: say that, yeah, you know you weigh you weigh a 826 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 1: thousand pounds, that's fine, that's the way you know, that's 827 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 1: the way God made you is not This is not 828 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: based in any science. This is just narrative. And then 829 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 1: when you start to take this and look at Okay, 830 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,359 Speaker 1: what about cis gender and heteronormativity and all these other 831 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 1: concepts that come out they're giving fancy words to. Well, 832 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: we have a feeling that people shouldn't just think that 833 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 1: being heterosexual is the normal thing. Well, normal is a 834 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 1: word that it views some value judgment on things, but 835 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 1: it is certainly the majority, and then there's no reason 836 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 1: to believe that that's going to change anytime soon. Intersectionality, 837 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 1: they're different groups that are all filled with oppression against 838 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 1: each other, and that there's an actual hierarchy of oppression 839 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 1: that the left looks at throughout American society. You know, 840 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 1: are you black? Are you Latino? Are you white? Are 841 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,760 Speaker 1: you Asian? Are you trans? Are you? All these different things? 842 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: And that every discussion of politics has to the first 843 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 1: thing you do is put somebody on that board, if 844 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 1: you will, not chessboard, on that playing field, before you 845 00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 1: can discuss the merits of an argument, the drawbacks of 846 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 1: an argument, what's true, what's fair, it's good, what's decent? 847 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,760 Speaker 1: Now forget all that first, Where where does this person 848 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:09,319 Speaker 1: go in the intersectional hierarchy? This all comes from academia. 849 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: This is a problem for the kids who have to 850 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,720 Speaker 1: study these places. This is from the Bogosian piece. Quote. 851 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 1: Students leave the academy believing they know things they do 852 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,320 Speaker 1: not know. They bring this knowledge to their places of employment, 853 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 1: where over time laundered ideas and the terminology that accompanies 854 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 1: them become normative, giving them even more unearned legitimacy. This 855 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 1: is why you've heard of some of the terms we 856 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 1: began with sis, gender, fat shaming, heteronormativity, intersectionality, patriarchy, rape, culture, 857 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 1: and whiteness. They've been laundered through the pure reviewed literature 858 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 1: by activist scholars, then widely taught for years before being 859 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: brought into the world. This is not knowledge. These are 860 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:58,240 Speaker 1: just feelings dressed up by academia to make it seem 861 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,839 Speaker 1: like if you argue with this, you are breaking with 862 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,400 Speaker 1: the consensus of the super smart people who all they 863 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,359 Speaker 1: do is sit around thinking about this stuff, and yet 864 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,480 Speaker 1: it's full of jargon and absurdity. This is where you 865 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 1: got that piece that was published in a peer review journal, 866 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,400 Speaker 1: and the title of the piece was and I quote 867 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 1: the penis as social construct end quote. It was published 868 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 1: and peer reviewed by an academic journal that claimed to 869 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:34,439 Speaker 1: be the authority on different genders studies and they put 870 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 1: this thing out there because they're so steeped in this 871 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 1: kind of thinking, and they're so used to taking ideas 872 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 1: that are that are just really about either political or 873 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:50,759 Speaker 1: cultural proclivities and prejudices and make it seem like there's 874 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,720 Speaker 1: something behind this, or then will I feel this way. 875 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 1: It would be like if I if I created an 876 00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 1: academic journal about how marzipan is a greatly underrated food 877 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 1: that everybody should eat more and should be more readily 878 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 1: available because it's delicious and I just don't see it 879 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 1: in enough places. And I got a bunch of other 880 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,439 Speaker 1: people that love marzapan to come together and say, hey, 881 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 1: we reviewed this, and he's right, you should have more marzapan, 882 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,560 Speaker 1: especially around the holidays. I'm starting a movement. I'm not 883 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 1: building any science. This is a Lynskyite community organizing in 884 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:31,400 Speaker 1: place of academic intellectual rigor and pursuit of the truth 885 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:36,399 Speaker 1: that it has overtaken our college campuses and universities. It's 886 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 1: why these kids come out spouting these things, and they 887 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 1: get so defensive and so angry when you challenge it, 888 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 1: because these ideas are not supposed to be challenged. It's 889 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 1: peer reviewed, it's put out in the journal. Professor so 890 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: and so and Professor so and so use this and 891 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,799 Speaker 1: you get to sound smart because use these big, new 892 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 1: fancy words. But what does it all mean? Nothing? I 893 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,759 Speaker 1: antand what it's like to go through the process of 894 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 1: buying life insurance. I had to do it before I 895 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 1: went overseas. It felt a little bit weird.

That's what I don't know. 911 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 1: This is a real story. Because I mentioned marzipan and 912 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,239 Speaker 1: my my activism in favor, I wanted to pick something 913 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 1: kind of random, but I do really, I mean, marzipan 914 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,520 Speaker 1: and chocolate. You ever eat it? No, that's too it's 915 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 1: like way too, You're not. That's not a burger with 916 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,719 Speaker 1: no bun and American cheese on it. I don't even 917 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 1: know what marzipan is. Are you serious? Sweetened almond paste, 918 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,400 Speaker 1: it's amazing. It's liking candy sometimes anything with paste. So 919 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 1: you usually you think you can. You can give your 920 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,320 Speaker 1: your takes on food, and you're allowed because food is 921 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 1: literally about taste, right. We use the word taste for 922 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,600 Speaker 1: things we like. Food though, is like how does this 923 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,359 Speaker 1: taste to me? And it is inherently subjective and people 924 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,760 Speaker 1: have different taste buds. And don't use too much hot sauce, folks. 925 00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:43,319 Speaker 1: Over time, it starts to you you're the burning and 926 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 1: everything that can actually dully. I'm just telling you hashtag science. 927 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 1: I like hot sauce too, but don't go too crazy 928 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:56,319 Speaker 1: with it, Tom Nichols. Tom and I know each other 929 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 1: a little bit. I've had them on the show in 930 00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 1: the past. Tom is now a Democrat, he used to 931 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,080 Speaker 1: be a conservative, umbroke him. I don't know what to say, 932 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 1: he tweeted out. I think people often pretend to like 933 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,440 Speaker 1: non American cuisines as a way of showing sophistication. I'm 934 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,400 Speaker 1: honest enough to say, my mostly Irish taste buds cannot 935 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 1: handle whatever it is, whatever's called Indian food in the 936 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: US and the UK. You may continue with your outrage. 937 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:24,239 Speaker 1: And you know what's amazing. There was outrage. People were 938 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,240 Speaker 1: saying this was racist. People were saying should get fired. 939 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,360 Speaker 1: You are not allowed to not like Indian food. I 940 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 1: guarantee you. If you trashed American food as a white male, 941 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 1: people would say, oh yeah, so of course America America 942 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 1: people like you know, what's considered sophisticated among liberals to 943 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 1: say America has no culture. Yeah, We're just the most wealthy, powerful, sophisticated, 944 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 1: culturally dominant country in the history of the planet, and 945 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 1: we have no culture. That's a really, that's a smart take. 946 00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,319 Speaker 1: People say this stuff all the time, but this is 947 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,880 Speaker 1: a BBC News story. All right, Say you don't like 948 00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:05,360 Speaker 1: Indian food and you get trashed globally for being a racist. 949 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 1: This is the world we live in now. I also 950 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 1: wanted to just point something out here, you know, I 951 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 1: like to dive into the left wing desire to control 952 00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 1: speech and to make us use certain words. And I 953 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,800 Speaker 1: do think we're heading into a place where the idea 954 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:25,240 Speaker 1: laundering that the grievance scholars engages in has already become 955 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,879 Speaker 1: the way that you are judged by in social media interactions. 956 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:30,480 Speaker 1: You can now be banned. We talked about Andy No 957 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,560 Speaker 1: getting suspended because of hateful posts. It's not hateful, it's 958 00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,480 Speaker 1: just stating facts. But stating facts can be hateful to leftists. 959 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,960 Speaker 1: But also if you have to remember that even if 960 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 1: you give them what they want, in some cases, what 961 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 1: the left wants now in discourse is often absurd and 962 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:54,839 Speaker 1: self contradictory. It is destined to only result in more 963 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: demands about what you can say and how you can 964 00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 1: say it. So don't think that you buy them off 965 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 1: by just by conceding on this or conceding on that issue. 966 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 1: You concede to what you think is right, what you 967 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,600 Speaker 1: think is morel For example, I've always said if somebody 968 00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,040 Speaker 1: wants to change their name, everyone has a right to 969 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,520 Speaker 1: change their name. So if a guy named Bob now 970 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:17,799 Speaker 1: wants to be called, you know, Claudette's, I will call 971 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,920 Speaker 1: Bob Claudette the same way that you know. My middle 972 00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,880 Speaker 1: name is Buckman, and people call me a buck and 973 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,360 Speaker 1: everyone goes, why do you such a weird name? I 974 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,319 Speaker 1: don't know. Ask my parents. They wanted to make life 975 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 1: harder than it had to be. I love you, mom 976 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,880 Speaker 1: and dad. But you know it's this is people allowed 977 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,319 Speaker 1: to choose you allowed to choose your name. You're allowed 978 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:39,360 Speaker 1: to choose your name. That's different though, than saying you 979 00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,880 Speaker 1: have to be a party to falsehood or a fraud. 980 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,239 Speaker 1: To say that, you have to be willing to agree 981 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,839 Speaker 1: to say things that you know to be untrue. And 982 00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,879 Speaker 1: here's something that I that I thought was very very 983 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:59,640 Speaker 1: interesting today looking at the argument around announcing your pronouns 984 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:01,800 Speaker 1: is thing you're supposed to do. You know, my pronouns 985 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,640 Speaker 1: are he and him, and people do this and you 986 00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 1: know you're at a It's really become something like the 987 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:14,759 Speaker 1: secret handshake at a left wing rally group. Anything you 988 00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,120 Speaker 1: stand up and you say, and this reruinds me. During 989 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,040 Speaker 1: the Occupy Wall Street days, remember that protest movement people 990 00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,000 Speaker 1: would do. They would do this thing where they would 991 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,840 Speaker 1: twinkle their fingers in the air as a way of 992 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,840 Speaker 1: showing applause. Um. They would also they would snap instead 993 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 1: of clap, and they would do this thing called mic check. 994 00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 1: They go mike check, my check. And you know, one 995 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,120 Speaker 1: person says something that everyone repeats it as a way 996 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:42,720 Speaker 1: of amplifying the message. These were These were cultural signifiers 997 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,280 Speaker 1: of being and good being in the in group with 998 00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: the left, of being in the in the cool kid group, 999 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 1: if you will. For most people, because a very very 1000 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 1: small percentage of the country has a problem with its gender, 1001 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 1: doesn't understand its gender. It's less than one percent of 1002 00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:02,160 Speaker 1: this country. For most people, saying what your pronouns are 1003 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,680 Speaker 1: would seem to just be an enormous waste of time. 1004 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 1: But here's the issue with that. The reason that you 1005 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: are supposed to say what your preferred pronouns are now, 1006 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 1: and this is according to leftist doctrine, this is now 1007 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:19,800 Speaker 1: if you're going to be you know, you've had this 1008 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 1: at you know, CNM when they had their town hall 1009 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,960 Speaker 1: and Chris Cuomo pro Cuomo made his joke a year 1010 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 1: here my pronouns, and everybody's like, not funny, not funny. 1011 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 1: But the reason you say it is that it is 1012 00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:38,760 Speaker 1: meant to show that there's nothing out of the ordinary, 1013 00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:43,400 Speaker 1: and therefore there should be no disapproval heaped on people 1014 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:49,280 Speaker 1: who do not seem visually to align with whatever their 1015 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:53,400 Speaker 1: preferred pronouns are. So so the point here is to 1016 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 1: make it that if everybody announces their pronouns, then when 1017 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 1: people feel compelled to announced their pronouns, they won't be 1018 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,760 Speaker 1: automatically singled out for being strange for announcing their pronouns. 1019 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 1: So it's like we all do it, and therefore, um, 1020 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, nobody should feel left out. I mean, it 1021 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,200 Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of I think it Wasn't Saved 1022 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:22,560 Speaker 1: by the Bell where Lisa Turtle Sprain. Remember this, Lisa 1023 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,880 Speaker 1: Turtle sprained her ankle and she had to go to 1024 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,360 Speaker 1: prom and they did a dance called the Sprain where 1025 00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 1: everybody was pretending that they because she didn't want to 1026 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 1: feel left out, so everyone showing the sprain. You know 1027 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about? Remember that? Yeah? Yeah, I think 1028 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: she went with Screech right, yes, but grudgingly. Yeah, who 1029 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 1: had quite a career afterwards, career in jail of Stuffy 1030 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 1: Dustin Diamond. I watched that show so many times I 1031 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 1: even remember their names. I believe her name was Lark Vorhees, Yes, 1032 00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 1: and there was Mark Paul Goslar and of course Mario Lopez. 1033 00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 1: I believe. I believe it was a little right of center, 1034 00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,800 Speaker 1: by the way, I I've been the host of the 1035 01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 1: Vecture or something like that of those anyway, So everyone 1036 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:06,880 Speaker 1: danced like they had a spring ankle, because then no 1037 01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:08,400 Speaker 1: one felt like they were left out with the spring. 1038 01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:10,760 Speaker 1: That was the whole idea. If everyone announces their pronouns, 1039 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,360 Speaker 1: then no one's left out when they have to announce 1040 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,200 Speaker 1: their pronouns. That's the or it feels feels weird. Here's 1041 01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:16,600 Speaker 1: the problem. This is why I'm starting with. This is 1042 01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 1: why I'm trying to tell you the left is absurd. 1043 01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:22,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense when people announce their pronouns, 1044 01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,920 Speaker 1: and everyone is announcing their pronouns and the pronouns align 1045 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:29,440 Speaker 1: with what you would expect them to be in a 1046 01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,280 Speaker 1: vast majority of cases. Then when someone is expected to 1047 01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 1: announce their pronouns and they have a different gender identity, 1048 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:40,360 Speaker 1: they will clearly be different than the people that are 1049 01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 1: announcing their pronouns. So just by announcing, and it doesn't 1050 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,280 Speaker 1: change the basic fact that you have somebody who perhaps 1051 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,000 Speaker 1: appears to be male who says, my pronouns are you know, she, 1052 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,920 Speaker 1: her and hers, So you haven't dealt with the issue 1053 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,720 Speaker 1: at all. And then when it just turns into is 1054 01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,960 Speaker 1: well now you're being Now everyone is announcing their pronouns, 1055 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:05,400 Speaker 1: is therefore playing into perhaps the stereotypes around who does 1056 01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 1: and does not conform to their general identity. So we're 1057 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,400 Speaker 1: just back where we started. It doesn't do anything. It 1058 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 1: makes no sense to announce your pronouns. It's supposed to 1059 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,960 Speaker 1: be some kind of concession to a group that feels 1060 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: aggrieved and put upon. But if we all actually did 1061 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,680 Speaker 1: what they tell us to do, the next demand would be, well, 1062 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,280 Speaker 1: you know, now we can't announce our problems because when 1063 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 1: we do, it's just showing the people that announce them 1064 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 1: that they're different. It's like they're having to proclaim it 1065 01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:37,960 Speaker 1: to everybody, their differentness. It changes nothing. This is stupid, 1066 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:41,360 Speaker 1: it is absurd. But it's really not about being kind. 1067 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 1: It's not about being decent. If it were, i'd be 1068 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,080 Speaker 1: in favor of those things. It's about getting you to 1069 01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,400 Speaker 1: bend the knee. You bend the knee on announcing your pronouns, 1070 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,560 Speaker 1: and then you bend the knee on nobody announces your pronouns. 1071 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,440 Speaker 1: You know, you bend the knee on saying that somebody 1072 01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:58,960 Speaker 1: is a she when it's a he. And then you've 1073 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:00,720 Speaker 1: bend the knee when you say that we're not allowed 1074 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:05,520 Speaker 1: to use any gender specific pronouns for anyone anymore. And 1075 01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,960 Speaker 1: then this of course also influences how we can talk 1076 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,960 Speaker 1: about policy. You know, are you are you allowed to 1077 01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:18,280 Speaker 1: object to a transgender female biologically male being the counselor 1078 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 1: for a day camp for you know, a bunch of 1079 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,760 Speaker 1: you know, young girls. Is that is that's on there? 1080 01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,320 Speaker 1: You're allowed to look at gender identity that way? It's 1081 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:30,200 Speaker 1: you know, and they just expect you bend the knee 1082 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,480 Speaker 1: or they will destroy you. And this is why we 1083 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,880 Speaker 1: spend time on these issues here on the show, because 1084 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,040 Speaker 1: the way you're allowed to talk about things, and the 1085 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:42,720 Speaker 1: way that society insists that you only use certain words, 1086 01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 1: whether it's undocumented or you know, cis gender or any 1087 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,000 Speaker 1: of these things. This is all for a purpose, and 1088 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,520 Speaker 1: the purpose is not being polite. The purpose is getting 1089 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 1: you to bend. The purpose is getting you to say, okay, fine, 1090 01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:58,280 Speaker 1: I submit, I'll do what you tell me to do, 1091 01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 1: because once they get you to start the habit of 1092 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 1: submitting to their absurd and constantly changing demands, then they 1093 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,080 Speaker 1: can just continue on with that momentum and get you 1094 01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,080 Speaker 1: to just start conceding to other things too. And they 1095 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 1: know that. You know, once you say fine, fine, leave 1096 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,960 Speaker 1: me alone, then you'll say, fine, leave me alone. I'll 1097 01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,080 Speaker 1: do it on this other thing too. You know, I 1098 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 1: won't go to Chick fil A anymore because you know 1099 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,000 Speaker 1: the Chick fil A is so big at it. You know, 1100 01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:24,920 Speaker 1: I won't do this. I want to just please just 1101 01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 1: let me live my life in peace. I'll do whatever 1102 01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,000 Speaker 1: you want. This is what they want, that sentiment, that 1103 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,000 Speaker 1: feeling of I'll do anything in order to prevent the 1104 01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:40,880 Speaker 1: continue to intellectual psychological harassment. That's what they want. Don't 1105 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 1: give it to them. Think this stuff through on your own. 1106 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,840 Speaker 1: That's why we've got the Freedom Hunt Friends, big headline 1107 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:52,160 Speaker 1: right now on foxnews dot Com Collision Course long Away 1108 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 1: to report on Five's abuse from the Inspector General could 1109 01:03:55,120 --> 01:04:03,480 Speaker 1: scramble DEM's impeachment plans. Some of us have been saying 1110 01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:05,880 Speaker 1: by some of us I mean, certainly me all along 1111 01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 1: that perhaps the imperative for impeachment at all costs isn't 1112 01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:15,600 Speaker 1: only driven by the desire to thwart the twenty twenty 1113 01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:19,160 Speaker 1: election that's the primary one, but also perhaps to get ahead. 1114 01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 1: I believe I said this on Brett Bear Show a 1115 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:27,360 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, to get ahead of the report 1116 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 1: that's going to make things look pretty bad for the Democrats. 1117 01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 1: Here's where we are right now on the whole fish abuse. 1118 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,240 Speaker 1: People call it spygate. I think that's a little too broad. 1119 01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 1: It's like almost calling it like bad gate or something 1120 01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,840 Speaker 1: like spygate is it's not. That doesn't really work for 1121 01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:44,280 Speaker 1: me as a term. But you know, look, there's no 1122 01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:49,160 Speaker 1: good term for it, I understand. But the effort, the 1123 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:52,320 Speaker 1: effort to use the intelligence apparatus of the United States 1124 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 1: government against a presidential campaign, that that has somehow been 1125 01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 1: treated as is normal, that that has found its way 1126 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:08,520 Speaker 1: into our discussions about what's going on with the presidency. 1127 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,040 Speaker 1: And people say, yeah, well, of course, of course they 1128 01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:13,760 Speaker 1: surveiled Carter Page, and of course they did. No, it's 1129 01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 1: not an of course situation, this low level lawyer. That 1130 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,160 Speaker 1: was the report we had last week from within the 1131 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,760 Speaker 1: Department of Justice who was removed and maybe criminally prosecuted 1132 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:29,720 Speaker 1: for changing something that went into a Fizer report. They're 1133 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,160 Speaker 1: going to try to say that this was just a 1134 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:35,520 Speaker 1: lone actor once again, somebody else doing something that only 1135 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 1: makes sense if they have a feverish hatred of Donald 1136 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:45,120 Speaker 1: Trump and are willing to do anything, including getting fired 1137 01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,600 Speaker 1: and losing their job and losing perhaps their freedom, to 1138 01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:49,800 Speaker 1: stop Trump. But we're told that this is this is 1139 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,000 Speaker 1: a one off, this is a one off. This isn't 1140 01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:59,360 Speaker 1: somebody this lawyer that they're saying, change the FIZA. There's 1141 01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 1: nothing to be worth about here, nothing to be concerned 1142 01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:07,720 Speaker 1: about here. I disagree. I disagree. The problem that we're 1143 01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,880 Speaker 1: going to face here is that they first of all, 1144 01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:12,800 Speaker 1: they've brought over to CNN, so anything you can see 1145 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,040 Speaker 1: from CNS is kind of hilarious. They've got McCabe over there, 1146 01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:20,160 Speaker 1: They've got the former General Counsel Baker I believe, of 1147 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,720 Speaker 1: the FBI. This guy is over there on CNN all 1148 01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,080 Speaker 1: the time, and they were the ones in power, and 1149 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 1: CNN has people analyzing essentially their own actions as though 1150 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:34,200 Speaker 1: they're fair minded experts on these issues. They're putting them 1151 01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:35,720 Speaker 1: in front of you, because CNN was in on this 1152 01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:40,479 Speaker 1: whole thing too. Tapper found out about the dossier being 1153 01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 1: brief to Trump, you know, within two days, and then 1154 01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 1: he got all mad at Ben Smith from BuzzFeed because 1155 01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Ben Smith actually showed people what the dossier was. And 1156 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:51,680 Speaker 1: Tapper wanted to squeeze as much as he could out 1157 01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:53,680 Speaker 1: of that whole dossier story as long as he could 1158 01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:58,080 Speaker 1: because he's a hack and a fraud. But yeah, that 1159 01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,360 Speaker 1: was the that was the way this thing was all going. 1160 01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:06,960 Speaker 1: And yet now we look at it and say to ourselves, huh, maybe, 1161 01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:11,160 Speaker 1: just maybe what we will see when this Fiser report 1162 01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:17,200 Speaker 1: comes out is that there was an effort to pretend 1163 01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 1: that people were very dumb and had very bad judgment 1164 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:25,040 Speaker 1: at senior levels of the United States government, when really 1165 01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,200 Speaker 1: what they were doing was playing dumb as that they 1166 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:32,040 Speaker 1: could make mistakes that what happened to be negative for Trump. 1167 01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 1: That would allow, for example, different communications that Carter Page 1168 01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:41,000 Speaker 1: had with anybody in the Trump campaigned to be looked 1169 01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 1: at to be part of the collection process under that 1170 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:48,800 Speaker 1: fires a warrant, and you know, Papadopoulos and these different 1171 01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 1: investigations that were going at this time. This is not possible. 1172 01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:59,960 Speaker 1: None of this is possible in a good faith law 1173 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,240 Speaker 1: enforcement effort, where people would say, we'll hold on a 1174 01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:08,400 Speaker 1: second carter Page, who had worked alongside the FBI against 1175 01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 1: Russian spies, was known to the FBI, I'd already met 1176 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,240 Speaker 1: with the FBI, and who the FBI knew Russian spies, 1177 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:18,880 Speaker 1: said was kind of an idiot. He's the nexus for 1178 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,960 Speaker 1: this whole Russia Trump conspiracy. And remember this, my friends, 1179 01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,880 Speaker 1: even if they tell you that they had a legitimate 1180 01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 1: justification for looking at Russian interference in the election, which 1181 01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 1: I believe they did, that is a big leap from Okay. 1182 01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,680 Speaker 1: We also have to make sure that we can investigate 1183 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:44,599 Speaker 1: the presidential campaign and then the presidency itself of Donald 1184 01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:48,960 Speaker 1: Trump because of this theory that Trump and his campaign 1185 01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:53,120 Speaker 1: were working with the Russians. Where does that come from? 1186 01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:58,040 Speaker 1: Who originated that idea? This is what we really have 1187 01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:00,720 Speaker 1: to know. I mean, I think people would say, right now, 1188 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,880 Speaker 1: you might be guessing, you know, Brandon and Clapper and 1189 01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,160 Speaker 1: there are a few people that come to mind, but 1190 01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,519 Speaker 1: we're what were the real origins of all of this. 1191 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:15,200 Speaker 1: We may get closer to that with this report that 1192 01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:18,880 Speaker 1: comes out on FISA We'll also find out those of 1193 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:25,640 Speaker 1: us who were saying the dossier was necessary. Without the dossier, 1194 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,040 Speaker 1: it probably wouldn't have been able to get to the 1195 01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:31,439 Speaker 1: level of the FISA request they had on Carter page. 1196 01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:36,080 Speaker 1: We'll see how accurate that was. We also, though, have 1197 01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:39,360 Speaker 1: the problem of the bureaucracy covering for itself, which I 1198 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,160 Speaker 1: think is you're going you're going to see that that's 1199 01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,240 Speaker 1: that's going to happen here. I wish it weren't the case. 1200 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,639 Speaker 1: It will be the case. The bureaucracy will be covering 1201 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,760 Speaker 1: for itself at some level. They will say that bad 1202 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,439 Speaker 1: judgment is not criminal, and bad judgment in matters of 1203 01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:59,080 Speaker 1: using the fearsome powers of the federal government against the 1204 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:05,360 Speaker 1: presidential campaig that just comes down to bad judgment, that's all. 1205 01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:10,680 Speaker 1: Bad judgment isn't about politics, it's not about criminality. You 1206 01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:12,680 Speaker 1: can't think that there really is a deep state just 1207 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 1: because these guys kept on bending the rules and making 1208 01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 1: poor decisions that all happen to go toward getting dirt 1209 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,880 Speaker 1: on Trump. That's right. They love to talk about Trump 1210 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:30,040 Speaker 1: getting dirt on Hunter Biden. Our own FBI under the 1211 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:35,080 Speaker 1: Obama administration was trying to get dirt on President Trump 1212 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:40,519 Speaker 1: and use FISA to do it if they can. Let 1213 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,240 Speaker 1: me let me just say this. If they can get 1214 01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,760 Speaker 1: a fis a warrant on Carter Page, they can get 1215 01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 1: a FIS A warrant on anybody. You can always come 1216 01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:48,720 Speaker 1: up with some pretext. You again, any friends in a 1217 01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,200 Speaker 1: foreign country. Yeah, you know those friends probably have foreign 1218 01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:52,800 Speaker 1: friends who are bad. Let's just run a FIES on. 1219 01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:56,960 Speaker 1: It's a joke. It's absurd. You know they talk to 1220 01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:59,479 Speaker 1: people like me. Oh well, he has friends in foreign countries, 1221 01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,400 Speaker 1: and he knows in the intelligence services, and we know 1222 01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:05,280 Speaker 1: we better, we better monitor him. So I'm I don't 1223 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:09,840 Speaker 1: have high hopes, which now reminds me of the Buddha Judge, 1224 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:11,920 Speaker 1: like the Buddha Judge song and d have seeing this 1225 01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 1: the the high hope stance that everyone's doing now for 1226 01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,600 Speaker 1: Buddha Judge. This is like his followers did. They was 1227 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 1: mocked on SNL this weekend. Oh it was. They said 1228 01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:22,920 Speaker 1: he was trying to get a negative percentage of the 1229 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:27,280 Speaker 1: black vote. Wow, I did not see that. But I 1230 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,240 Speaker 1: do not have high hopes for the Inspector General report 1231 01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:33,600 Speaker 1: being a massive blow to the deep state. I do 1232 01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:37,200 Speaker 1: think though, that they're gonna want us to swallow. It'll 1233 01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 1: be like the other Inspector General report where they said 1234 01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,720 Speaker 1: that there was no bias in the Hillary Clinton email investigation, 1235 01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,720 Speaker 1: which was not true. There was bias. They showed us 1236 01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:46,880 Speaker 1: all this bias and they said there wasn't bias. They're 1237 01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,360 Speaker 1: gonna show us all kinds of abuse of FISA, but 1238 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,040 Speaker 1: then in order to protect the institution of the Department 1239 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,960 Speaker 1: of Justice and the FBI, they're gonna say it wasn't 1240 01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:59,000 Speaker 1: political though, So there really isn't any abuse that went 1241 01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:02,479 Speaker 1: on here. Oh no, there was abuse a team. I know, 1242 01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,439 Speaker 1: we're going into the Thanksgiving holiday and a proser Marketer's 1243 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:07,439 Speaker 1: football over the Thanksgiving holiday, Right, that's the thing that 1244 01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:09,719 Speaker 1: happens that people. I see it in the background sometimes 1245 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,519 Speaker 1: at the various homes where I've been for Yeah, there's 1246 01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:14,720 Speaker 1: the football thing that happens. But there's been some big 1247 01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 1: stories in the news for football, and I don't want 1248 01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:18,679 Speaker 1: to skip over them entirely. But I figured i'd bring 1249 01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:22,080 Speaker 1: somebody in who, for example, unlike me, knows that the 1250 01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:25,160 Speaker 1: Rams now play in Los Angeles and not Saint Louis. 1251 01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,200 Speaker 1: You learned something new every day, especially for me in 1252 01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,160 Speaker 1: the world of sports. We got a sports expert with 1253 01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:31,200 Speaker 1: us though our friend Clay Travis is with us now. 1254 01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 1: He is the OutKick, the coverage host, also author of 1255 01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 1: the book Republicans by Sneakers. To Clay, thanks for coming back, hey, ap. 1256 01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:44,759 Speaker 1: So let's start with this editorial New York Times editorial, 1257 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:48,839 Speaker 1: which is how it came into my vision my daily 1258 01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:55,320 Speaker 1: deep dive here from Tennessee Coates the cancelation of Colin Kaepernick. 1259 01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,400 Speaker 1: He's making the argument here that Colin Kaepernick is a 1260 01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:03,120 Speaker 1: victim of cancel culture. After well everything but also this tryout. 1261 01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:07,000 Speaker 1: What really happened with Colin Kaepernick both at this tryout 1262 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,719 Speaker 1: and also tell me, what do you think the reality 1263 01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,600 Speaker 1: is of whether he's part of cancel culture? Well, I 1264 01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:16,120 Speaker 1: think that Colin Kaepernick has realized that as a barter 1265 01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:19,280 Speaker 1: he is more valuable than he is as a backup 1266 01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:21,479 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL, which is the job that he 1267 01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:25,200 Speaker 1: would have if he really wanted to continue to play sports. 1268 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,840 Speaker 1: And so I think he made a conscious decision to 1269 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:34,880 Speaker 1: where the Consequente T shirt and to perform in the 1270 01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:37,080 Speaker 1: fashion that he did with his own camera crew there 1271 01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:41,120 Speaker 1: and everything else because he wanted to continue to be 1272 01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:45,800 Speaker 1: a social justice warrior martyr for the woke sports media 1273 01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:49,240 Speaker 1: out there, and the reality is what this guy is 1274 01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:53,760 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback, and backup quarterbacks are not necessarily given 1275 01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,479 Speaker 1: a lot of attention in the NFL, certainly not if 1276 01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:59,639 Speaker 1: their starting quarterback is healthy. And I think Colin Kaepernick 1277 01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,760 Speaker 1: is aware that if he is on the sideline, not 1278 01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:07,360 Speaker 1: actually playing, that his value as a martyr declines precipitously, 1279 01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,200 Speaker 1: and so I think in many ways he sabotaged the 1280 01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:13,439 Speaker 1: tryout that the NFL tried to set up for him. Now, 1281 01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:15,200 Speaker 1: one of the things that comes up when people talk 1282 01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,880 Speaker 1: about about Kaepernick, I mean, it was pretty amazing reading 1283 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,679 Speaker 1: this this New York Times piece, and if you saw 1284 01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,599 Speaker 1: the Coats editorial I read, I read it. I mean 1285 01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 1: it was it was totally absurd and ridiculous. And the 1286 01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:28,800 Speaker 1: fact that that guy is considered to be some sort 1287 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:33,000 Speaker 1: of intellectual heavyweight oftentimes just kind of bottles my mind. Yeah, 1288 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,160 Speaker 1: because well, what I've told from my friends who actually 1289 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,560 Speaker 1: paid pretty close attention to the NFL is that Kaepernick, 1290 01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:44,000 Speaker 1: before the whole taking anything, he was already dropping down 1291 01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:46,200 Speaker 1: the depth chart and people didn't really care, and his 1292 01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,320 Speaker 1: career wasn't looking so good, that's correct, he get in fact, 1293 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,280 Speaker 1: had lost his starting job to blame Gabbert, who is 1294 01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,840 Speaker 1: not a well known or well received quarterback in his 1295 01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:59,360 Speaker 1: own right. And so yeah, well the baling was I 1296 01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:02,679 Speaker 1: think a trans parent employ to draw attention to himself 1297 01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,400 Speaker 1: when he recognized that he was otherwise not going to 1298 01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:09,360 Speaker 1: be receiving very my attention. And again, I mean, he 1299 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,000 Speaker 1: had a contractual obligation to stand for the national anthem, 1300 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,400 Speaker 1: just like the NBA players do, and and to equate 1301 01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:18,960 Speaker 1: him with cancel culture is frankly just absurd. Look everybody 1302 01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:22,479 Speaker 1: in the NFL, whether you are the most talented quarterback 1303 01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:25,040 Speaker 1: in the league or the guy hanging on by his 1304 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:30,920 Speaker 1: flinges to a special stop, they're all subject to an 1305 01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,439 Speaker 1: equation that I would like to say, which is, so 1306 01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,719 Speaker 1: long as your talent exceeds of problems, you will always 1307 01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:39,840 Speaker 1: be employed. And the problem that Colin Kaepernick has is 1308 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:44,679 Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson or Patrick Mahomes couk 1309 01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:48,120 Speaker 1: a need to protest anything, they would still be employed 1310 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,839 Speaker 1: in the NFL because they're three of the best, arguably 1311 01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,599 Speaker 1: the three best quarterbacks in the NFL right now in 1312 01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,599 Speaker 1: this league right historically and proven wise. And so if 1313 01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 1: if those guys decide that they wanted to make a 1314 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,960 Speaker 1: political statement, they might get fined, they might face a 1315 01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,680 Speaker 1: substantial blowback, But every team, I believe, would continue to 1316 01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,679 Speaker 1: employ them because they're that good at playing the position 1317 01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:13,280 Speaker 1: in which is so difficult to find talent quarterback. The 1318 01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:15,679 Speaker 1: problem Colin Kaepernick had was not that he took a knee. 1319 01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:17,559 Speaker 1: It was that he took a knee, and his talent 1320 01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:20,759 Speaker 1: no longer was sufficient enough for teams to be willing 1321 01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:22,679 Speaker 1: to put up with the challenges he brought to bear 1322 01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:26,720 Speaker 1: from a protest perspective. And I've kind of made this 1323 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,400 Speaker 1: joke before, using it from a hyperbolic sense, but look, 1324 01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:33,120 Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron Rodgers could take a knee and say 1325 01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:36,720 Speaker 1: that he thinks Isis was unfitly treated by the Trump administration, 1326 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:40,000 Speaker 1: and somebody would probably still employ him to play quarterback 1327 01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,240 Speaker 1: because he's just that good of a quarterback. And people 1328 01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:43,920 Speaker 1: would roll their eyes and say, I really don't care 1329 01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:47,080 Speaker 1: about the politics that he espouses. And the problem for 1330 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,400 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick is he's not that good of a quarterback, 1331 01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:52,560 Speaker 1: so people do care because again, his problems exceed his 1332 01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:54,960 Speaker 1: talents now speaking of people that are having problems on 1333 01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,960 Speaker 1: and now off the field. I did see because it 1334 01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:01,960 Speaker 1: became a viralo moment that dominated the news cycle for 1335 01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:05,920 Speaker 1: a few hours. This incident with Myles Garrett where he 1336 01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:08,479 Speaker 1: swung his helmet. Just tell us give us the quick 1337 01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:11,920 Speaker 1: backstory of what happened there and then the aftermath, because 1338 01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:15,519 Speaker 1: I did see the storyline percolate for at least a 1339 01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:17,920 Speaker 1: few hours. A couple of days ago, there was a 1340 01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:20,920 Speaker 1: claim that there might have been a racist component that 1341 01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,320 Speaker 1: led to the swing of the helmet, which a lot 1342 01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:27,600 Speaker 1: of people, myself included thoughts sounded rather dubious under the circumstances. 1343 01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,640 Speaker 1: But what happened and where are we now? Well, for 1344 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:34,759 Speaker 1: six days there was no succestion. After the swarm helmet 1345 01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,240 Speaker 1: hit Mason Rudolf on the head Miles Garrett place in 1346 01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,760 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Grounds, Mason Rudolfs beclore the Backs floy to 1347 01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 1: the Spokes Steelers and at the end of their Thursday 1348 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:46,800 Speaker 1: night football game, which happened what I guess a week 1349 01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,679 Speaker 1: or almost two weeks ago. Now, as we moved closer 1350 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:53,880 Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving we had Mason reactive in the head with 1351 01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,519 Speaker 1: a helmet which kind of unheard of falling at him 1352 01:17:56,520 --> 01:18:00,600 Speaker 1: by this defensive player, And for six days nothing was 1353 01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,880 Speaker 1: said about the motivation other than Miles Garrett lost his temper, 1354 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:07,240 Speaker 1: he apologized, he was saying all of that, and then 1355 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:11,280 Speaker 1: at the end of that six day window, suddenly news 1356 01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,679 Speaker 1: came out that he was claiming that somebody, Mason Rudolph, 1357 01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,080 Speaker 1: had said a racial flaurer to him and that was 1358 01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:19,400 Speaker 1: what prompted the attack, and the NFL said they had 1359 01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,519 Speaker 1: investigated it, found no evidence, and upheld his suspension. He 1360 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,320 Speaker 1: made that claim in an appeal to hearing. So what 1361 01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:28,920 Speaker 1: I just described it as was a racism hail Marry 1362 01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,560 Speaker 1: that his attempt at the last minute was to try 1363 01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,960 Speaker 1: in some way justify his behavior by sighting the way 1364 01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:37,880 Speaker 1: that he had been treated, and I think that's just 1365 01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 1: laughably absurd. Is the punishment appropriate here for Miles Garrett 1366 01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,879 Speaker 1: for the crime. I mean, I think it's a significant punishment, 1367 01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,920 Speaker 1: But I think the NFL knows that the importance of 1368 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,880 Speaker 1: setting a precedent here is that using a helmet as 1369 01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,760 Speaker 1: a weapon in the dangerous position to be in. Mason 1370 01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,920 Speaker 1: Rudolph was not seriously injured, luckily for him, but he 1371 01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,800 Speaker 1: could have been, and I think the FL needs to 1372 01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:04,920 Speaker 1: have its players know that this is this behavior that 1373 01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:08,600 Speaker 1: is simply unacceptable. So make Miles Garrett's going to be 1374 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:11,160 Speaker 1: out for the rest of the season. Uh, And we'll 1375 01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:14,400 Speaker 1: see what happens at the end of the year with 1376 01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:16,519 Speaker 1: whether he's allowed to return to start next year, which 1377 01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:19,120 Speaker 1: I think you will. And the six game suspension feels 1378 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:20,800 Speaker 1: about right to me. Can I just ask you a 1379 01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,240 Speaker 1: quick lightning round of some stuff before Thanksgiving so I 1380 01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,040 Speaker 1: can pretend that I know something got football and I'm 1381 01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:28,720 Speaker 1: with my aldish yeshoho. Who is the best quarterback in 1382 01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,920 Speaker 1: the NFL right now? Oh man, you just stepped into 1383 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,200 Speaker 1: a huge debate. I think the best quarterback in the 1384 01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,200 Speaker 1: NFL right now is Russell Wilson. I think there's a 1385 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:40,400 Speaker 1: strong argument for Patrick Mahomes, for Aaron Rodgers. Those are 1386 01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 1: the three best. Lamar Jackson is having an incredible season 1387 01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:45,680 Speaker 1: and he may be the favorite for the MVP, but 1388 01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:47,559 Speaker 1: those are the four that I would that I would 1389 01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,519 Speaker 1: name off the top. Tom Brady interestingly not having that 1390 01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:52,559 Speaker 1: great of a season. So if you want those five 1391 01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:54,880 Speaker 1: names and that information I just gave you, you can 1392 01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:56,840 Speaker 1: fake it to your make it there. Yeah, well I 1393 01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:58,759 Speaker 1: got one more. What is the what is the worst 1394 01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:01,479 Speaker 1: coach team in the NFL right now? Yeah? Well, no 1395 01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,120 Speaker 1: team that's under fire the most right now. Jason Garrett 1396 01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,400 Speaker 1: is the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys and they 1397 01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:09,000 Speaker 1: just lost to the New England Patriots. And he has 1398 01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:12,880 Speaker 1: done a really poor job of maximizing his talent. He's 1399 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:14,840 Speaker 1: been on sort of the chopping block for a long 1400 01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:19,400 Speaker 1: time now, and the Dallas Cowboys sort of perpetually swing 1401 01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:24,200 Speaker 1: from you know, the excitement and enjoy and pure jubilation 1402 01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:25,960 Speaker 1: of hey, We're going to go to the super Bowl 1403 01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:29,519 Speaker 1: to the depths of despair after every loss. They're six 1404 01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:32,360 Speaker 1: and five, may win their division, likely to make the playoff, 1405 01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:34,559 Speaker 1: but Jason Garrett has not endured himself to the fan 1406 01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:36,640 Speaker 1: base for yet another season. And who do you think 1407 01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 1: is going to win the Super Bowl? I gotta ask? Yeah. So, 1408 01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:41,120 Speaker 1: if if I were predicting right now, I think it's 1409 01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,559 Speaker 1: hard to say anything against the Patriots. So I picked 1410 01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,519 Speaker 1: the Patriots out of the AFC, and I would pick 1411 01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:49,400 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers out of the NFC, And god, 1412 01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:51,479 Speaker 1: I mean it sinks to continue to pick him. But 1413 01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,680 Speaker 1: Brady and Belichick of the greatest coaching player combo in 1414 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 1: NFL history. And they aren't dead yet, and so as 1415 01:20:57,439 --> 01:20:59,439 Speaker 1: long as that's the case, I feel like they will 1416 01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:02,519 Speaker 1: find a way to triumph into the season. Even know, 1417 01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:04,559 Speaker 1: I think, like a lot of your listeners, i'd prefer 1418 01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:06,320 Speaker 1: that not be the case. If you guys want somebody 1419 01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:08,320 Speaker 1: who knows about sports and really breaks it all down 1420 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,480 Speaker 1: for you, you've just heard it here.

I haven't 1449 01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:41,639 Speaker 1: really seen it elsewhere, but here's the basics of it. 1450 01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:45,360 Speaker 1: And I just want to say that I can't really 1451 01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:47,720 Speaker 1: assess this other than to say that people that I 1452 01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:52,040 Speaker 1: know and think have good judgments say this is probably crap. 1453 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,679 Speaker 1: But even when there's a story that is not true, 1454 01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:58,920 Speaker 1: sometimes there are some elements in the background of the 1455 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,599 Speaker 1: story that are worth noting. But I also I don't 1456 01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,600 Speaker 1: know that it's not true. So, and it's reported the 1457 01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:08,479 Speaker 1: Jerusalem Post, which is a reputable publication, and it is 1458 01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:14,160 Speaker 1: about whether or not Ilahan Omar is an asset of Cutter. 1459 01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:17,360 Speaker 1: This is the story that's out there. A witness in 1460 01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:21,559 Speaker 1: a deposition in a federal court in Florida has gone 1461 01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,760 Speaker 1: on the record to say and give some details about this. 1462 01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,360 Speaker 1: Here's the basics of the story. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was 1463 01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:32,920 Speaker 1: recruited by a foreign government, received funding from a foreign government, 1464 01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:38,280 Speaker 1: and passed sensitive information through intermarries intermediaries to Iran. A 1465 01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:41,240 Speaker 1: Florida court has been told that's not That doesn't mean 1466 01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:43,759 Speaker 1: the court has found nor has anyone brought charges. Okay. 1467 01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:49,439 Speaker 1: The claims came during testimony by Kuwaiti born Canadian businessman 1468 01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:52,800 Speaker 1: Alan Bender, who was giving evidence in the trial of 1469 01:23:52,880 --> 01:24:00,120 Speaker 1: Sheikh Khalid Binhamed Alfani, the Qatari Emir's brother, stand is 1470 01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:04,240 Speaker 1: accused of ordering his American bodyguard to murder two people 1471 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:09,240 Speaker 1: and of holding an American citizen hostage. His deposition obtained 1472 01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:12,800 Speaker 1: by Al Arabia English was authenticated by the attorney for 1473 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:18,920 Speaker 1: the plaintiffs, according to the publication. All right, now, a 1474 01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,360 Speaker 1: lot of people on the right really don't like ilhan 1475 01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,760 Speaker 1: Omar because of her politics, because of what she says, 1476 01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,439 Speaker 1: because of the anti Semitic stuff she has said in 1477 01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:30,000 Speaker 1: the past. So people see this and they immediately jump 1478 01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:31,400 Speaker 1: with the story. I've seen a lot of people that 1479 01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:36,519 Speaker 1: follow the follow ilhan Omar's career and they've been following 1480 01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:41,040 Speaker 1: some of the other controversies, possible campaign finance stuff, the 1481 01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:44,720 Speaker 1: whole situation with her, you know, the husband, and then 1482 01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,240 Speaker 1: the other situation with the brother and the what's going 1483 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:51,759 Speaker 1: on with the possible the allegation, I should say, of 1484 01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:56,280 Speaker 1: a marriage fraud, which believe in marriage fraud is a 1485 01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:58,599 Speaker 1: crime punishment about the five years in federal prison when 1486 01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:02,599 Speaker 1: it involves an immigration vile. So if you marry somebody 1487 01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,240 Speaker 1: but you're not really getting married, you're just doing it 1488 01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:06,400 Speaker 1: so they can get a green card to be here, 1489 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:08,519 Speaker 1: and you're found out, you're going to prison for that, 1490 01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,879 Speaker 1: and they do occasionally enforce that, which is so interesting 1491 01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:16,360 Speaker 1: because so much of the rest of immigration law is 1492 01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:19,400 Speaker 1: left as like, you know, who cares, doesn't matter. We 1493 01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:24,439 Speaker 1: don't have to really enforce this stuff. But the Ilhanomar story, 1494 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:28,000 Speaker 1: people are saying this is it's flimsy. It's an allegation 1495 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:30,920 Speaker 1: in court. Yeah, the guy's under oath, but you know 1496 01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,080 Speaker 1: who knows if they can and he's just saying he 1497 01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,800 Speaker 1: was told this. There's no there's no proof, so I'm 1498 01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,479 Speaker 1: not there no proof. Usually what I want to know 1499 01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:43,360 Speaker 1: about ill Hanomar. It is a bad thing when it 1500 01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:47,720 Speaker 1: is so very clear that the press has no interest 1501 01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:53,200 Speaker 1: in vetting, investigating and looking at a person in politics 1502 01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:58,519 Speaker 1: because of that person's political political beliefs and also because 1503 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:03,000 Speaker 1: of that person's background. The media does not want to 1504 01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:06,000 Speaker 1: be seen as even investigating. And you could say that 1505 01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:09,200 Speaker 1: through an investigation of ilahan Omar, not just on this 1506 01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:13,120 Speaker 1: Qatari thing, because this might be complete garbage. And I'm 1507 01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,240 Speaker 1: being honestly that it doesn't seem to me like it's 1508 01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:23,200 Speaker 1: I mean, is it theoretically possible. I mean maybe sure, 1509 01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:27,360 Speaker 1: given her view of American foreign policy and her view 1510 01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:29,679 Speaker 1: of the rest of the world, could you see maybe 1511 01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:33,160 Speaker 1: some people using her as an agent of influence in 1512 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:35,760 Speaker 1: the United States against foreign policy that would be in 1513 01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 1: the us interest. Yes, but that's very different than having 1514 01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,840 Speaker 1: any actual proof of the allegation, which which we don't have. 1515 01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:48,720 Speaker 1: But these stories, a story like this, get more oxygen, 1516 01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:53,080 Speaker 1: get more attention, in part because we know we cannot 1517 01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:58,480 Speaker 1: trust the mainstream press to do what they would normally 1518 01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:02,040 Speaker 1: say they're doing, which is to vet a person, looking 1519 01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:08,880 Speaker 1: to that person's background and bring the public the truth 1520 01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:10,960 Speaker 1: about a situation which they don't know. I mean, we 1521 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:12,439 Speaker 1: know that they don't do that as a general rule, 1522 01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:15,760 Speaker 1: but they particularly are hands off about certain people, and 1523 01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:17,880 Speaker 1: ilhan Omar as one of them. So I would just 1524 01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:21,920 Speaker 1: note that I don't know the story is true or not. 1525 01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:25,760 Speaker 1: It strikes me as unlikely. But I also know that 1526 01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:28,040 Speaker 1: we can't trust the press to tell us how much 1527 01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:33,320 Speaker 1: investigation has there been of ilhan Omar by journalists regarding 1528 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:37,479 Speaker 1: a campaign finance issues and also the situation with the 1529 01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,080 Speaker 1: brother and the husband and the I mean, I don't 1530 01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:42,240 Speaker 1: even know the but nobody wants. Nobody wants to touch 1531 01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:43,960 Speaker 1: that stuff. Nobody wants to go near any of it. 1532 01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:45,840 Speaker 1: Usually journalists when they have am This is a member 1533 01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:49,360 Speaker 1: of Congress, a public figure elected office. You would think 1534 01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:52,479 Speaker 1: that there could be some belief some understanding that this 1535 01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:56,479 Speaker 1: person would be subject to a degree of scrutiny that's 1536 01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:00,840 Speaker 1: not dictated by politics and by intersectionality and wokeness and 1537 01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:03,519 Speaker 1: all the rest of it. But no, that is, in 1538 01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:08,639 Speaker 1: fact the the overriding consideration that they that they have here. 1539 01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:10,640 Speaker 1: So for those who were going to ask me about this, 1540 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:14,040 Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't have much more, m 1541 01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 1: much more on this than just to say it doesn't 1542 01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:19,719 Speaker 1: strike me as particularly, it doesn't strike me as likely. 1543 01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:23,120 Speaker 1: But you can't trust the press to find out any 1544 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:26,200 Speaker 1: truth about ilhan Omar that would be problematic for her. 1545 01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:28,360 Speaker 1: So that's kind of where that's kind of where we are. 1546 01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:31,320 Speaker 1: I was iding you to mention this before I find it, 1547 01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:33,760 Speaker 1: you know, I know I keep saying nice things about 1548 01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:35,760 Speaker 1: Yang and Tulsi on the show, and I'm not I'm 1549 01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:37,559 Speaker 1: not trying to just do this as a as a 1550 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:39,040 Speaker 1: as a thing, as a bit that I do on 1551 01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:42,240 Speaker 1: the show. Where we get we get into why Yang 1552 01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,559 Speaker 1: and Tulsi are the most likable of Democrats, although I 1553 01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:48,200 Speaker 1: think they are. I saw this piece though the weekend. 1554 01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:50,840 Speaker 1: It was so remarkable to me that Andrew Andrew Yang 1555 01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:58,120 Speaker 1: hashtag Yangang Andrew Yang makes jokes, sometimes self deprecating jokes 1556 01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:05,000 Speaker 1: about Asian American stereotypes. And this was interesting because usually 1557 01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:07,080 Speaker 1: what you see is that you're never allowed to make 1558 01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:10,439 Speaker 1: jokes about any even if it's it's really meant to 1559 01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:13,760 Speaker 1: be playful and it's not supposed to be degrading in 1560 01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:15,280 Speaker 1: any way, but you're not allowed to make jokes about 1561 01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:17,760 Speaker 1: it about any non white ethnicity, as as particularly as 1562 01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:21,080 Speaker 1: a white person anymore. It had been the case. I 1563 01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:25,240 Speaker 1: had thought that you could, though make self deprecating jokes 1564 01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,760 Speaker 1: about an ethnicity if you were of that ethnicity, But 1565 01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:32,840 Speaker 1: even that rule in this current era of extreme wokeness 1566 01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:38,960 Speaker 1: seems to be changing a little bit. There is a 1567 01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 1: concern that was is Andrew Yang quote reclaiming stereotypes with 1568 01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:51,639 Speaker 1: Asian jokes. Experts say not so much. First of all, 1569 01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:57,120 Speaker 1: experts in jokes, Who are these people? This is NBC News, 1570 01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:00,800 Speaker 1: experts in being funny? Well, what were they experts? We're 1571 01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:03,880 Speaker 1: talking about here? That's always good expertise is a very 1572 01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:11,720 Speaker 1: abused claim. But they're saying that he isn't doing a 1573 01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,600 Speaker 1: good thing by trying to reclaim stereotypes. They see, this 1574 01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:16,720 Speaker 1: is what they change the rules all the time. You 1575 01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:19,920 Speaker 1: know some ethnicities, for example, can use slurs against that 1576 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:22,120 Speaker 1: ethnicity as a means of reclaiming the term. We're told 1577 01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:23,600 Speaker 1: that all the time, But you can't use it if 1578 01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:25,360 Speaker 1: you're not of that ethnicity. But you can if you are. 1579 01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:28,680 Speaker 1: But now you can't make jokes about your own ethnicity. 1580 01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:31,519 Speaker 1: And I think the reason that they feel this way, 1581 01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:34,320 Speaker 1: although who knows, they probably changed the logic beyond this 1582 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:38,120 Speaker 1: all the time, is because then it lightens everybody up 1583 01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:40,360 Speaker 1: a little bit where they might think it's they don't 1584 01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:42,960 Speaker 1: have to be quite so woke and quite so on guard. 1585 01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:45,120 Speaker 1: And maybe somebody would get the idea that you could 1586 01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:48,559 Speaker 1: make some jokes based on stereotypes we are laughing with 1587 01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:53,080 Speaker 1: and not at an ethnicity. That would be an idea 1588 01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,120 Speaker 1: that the left considers dangerous. So I can't have that. 1589 01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:59,000 Speaker 1: So Yang is not allowed to make jokes about Asian stereotypes, 1590 01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:01,640 Speaker 1: even as an Asian American. That's the reality of the 1591 01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:03,519 Speaker 1: left today. I just want to note that what we 1592 01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:08,120 Speaker 1: will do is have what we will do. What we 1593 01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:11,879 Speaker 1: will do is have a four percent tax on income 1594 01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:17,320 Speaker 1: excepting the first twenty nine thousand dolls. All right, good, 1595 01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:21,200 Speaker 1: you're better at arithmetic than I am, guess what that 1596 01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:23,800 Speaker 1: means is if you have that average family in the 1597 01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:27,160 Speaker 1: middle will make sixty thousand a year, that means we're 1598 01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:30,240 Speaker 1: going to tax you on thirty one thousand at four percent. 1599 01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:34,479 Speaker 1: Anybod who believes this is a fool, that this is 1600 01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:37,720 Speaker 1: where this will stop. They're going to create just a 1601 01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:39,680 Speaker 1: little carve out tax to give you free healthcare. This 1602 01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:42,439 Speaker 1: is the Bernie Plan. Now, this is the latest version 1603 01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:44,479 Speaker 1: of what we're being told the Bernie Plan is going 1604 01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:48,240 Speaker 1: to be. But what they're saying here is that or 1605 01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:52,240 Speaker 1: Bernie saying rather, is that four percent above twenty nine 1606 01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:55,719 Speaker 1: thousand and you'll never have to worry about healthcare again. 1607 01:31:56,360 --> 01:32:01,120 Speaker 1: My friends, No way, no way, it's not gonna work. 1608 01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:04,240 Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. That four percent tax won't be enough. 1609 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:07,240 Speaker 1: Then you know what happens. It becomes a five percent 1610 01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:11,559 Speaker 1: and then a six percent tax. You have to fund 1611 01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:13,880 Speaker 1: the programs that Bertie Sanders is talking, but even begin 1612 01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:18,480 Speaker 1: to fund them, you would have to raise taxes dramatically, 1613 01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:21,280 Speaker 1: not just on millionaires and billionaires, this is the essential 1614 01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:25,280 Speaker 1: lie that they keep telling, but on everybody, and taxes 1615 01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:28,240 Speaker 1: that get raised that much, on people across the board. 1616 01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:31,080 Speaker 1: Are going to have all kinds of implications for jobs, 1617 01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:36,240 Speaker 1: for productivity, for just wealth creation. Overall. We are in 1618 01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:39,120 Speaker 1: a remarkable period right now, the longest bullmark in the 1619 01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:41,800 Speaker 1: history of the United States, lowest unemployment in fifty years. 1620 01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:46,320 Speaker 1: Things are very prosperous right now. Why would we start 1621 01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:50,600 Speaker 1: listening to the socialists at this point in time? You know, 1622 01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:53,559 Speaker 1: if America goes down this path of socialism in twenty twenty, 1623 01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,080 Speaker 1: you know we're gonna get what we deserve. We're gonna 1624 01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:56,559 Speaker 1: get along and hard. It's going to be a rough 1625 01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:01,760 Speaker 1: way forward. We have all the empirical evidence we need. 1626 01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:04,800 Speaker 1: We have all of the data, and just look around 1627 01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:07,639 Speaker 1: you what's going on in the country right now, Look 1628 01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:09,479 Speaker 1: at all the ways that we can try to judge 1629 01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:12,680 Speaker 1: on the numbers, how things are going. You're going to 1630 01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,920 Speaker 1: hand over control of the economy to Bernie Sanders wing 1631 01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:17,840 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party. I mean, I know you won't 1632 01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,400 Speaker 1: listening to the show. There's some liberals who listen, which 1633 01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:24,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate. Liberals are like, he's he's a bit of 1634 01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:26,479 Speaker 1: a savvy fellow, this sexton. We've got to keep an 1635 01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:28,800 Speaker 1: eye on him, make sure it doesn't get a little 1636 01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:33,639 Speaker 1: too puppulo listen too powerful. But the truth is Bernie Sanders' 1637 01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:35,800 Speaker 1: plan would be a disaster for you. And I know 1638 01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:38,200 Speaker 1: you know that, but there's so many people who don't 1639 01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:41,120 Speaker 1: believe it. When I was at Politicon debating Bernie Sanders 1640 01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:44,760 Speaker 1: healthcare spokesperson, the person a Signers campaign, she's just living 1641 01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:48,600 Speaker 1: in a fantasyland. You're gonna have great doctors, great healthcare. 1642 01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:51,800 Speaker 1: Everything can be super efficient. It's gonna be it's gonna 1643 01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:53,639 Speaker 1: be fantastic, and you never have to worry about paying 1644 01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:57,679 Speaker 1: for any of this ever. Again, well, it's not true. 1645 01:33:57,760 --> 01:33:59,280 Speaker 1: By the way. By the time you figure out it's 1646 01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:01,360 Speaker 1: not true, you'll have had one You'll probably have had 1647 01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:04,519 Speaker 1: one generation that has gotten used to having their healthcare 1648 01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:07,479 Speaker 1: paid for by the government. It won't be very good, 1649 01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:08,800 Speaker 1: but they'll get used to paying for it, and then 1650 01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:12,680 Speaker 1: they'll just put this unsustainable burden on future generations of 1651 01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:16,200 Speaker 1: paying for the health that they've already gotten. This is 1652 01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:19,800 Speaker 1: the doomsday machine within our own political and economic system 1653 01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:21,879 Speaker 1: that no one is willing to face up to. Nobody 1654 01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:24,880 Speaker 1: is willing to diffuse the debt bomb. Nobody is willing 1655 01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:28,280 Speaker 1: to say that you can't keep doing this promising things, 1656 01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:31,320 Speaker 1: giving things today and then promising that somebody else will 1657 01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:33,960 Speaker 1: pay for it in the future. And this becomes the 1658 01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:36,479 Speaker 1: easiest scam in the world. I mean, if your taxes 1659 01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:38,360 Speaker 1: are never going to get raised in your lifetime, why 1660 01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:40,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't you say, yeah, give me all the benefits you 1661 01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:44,280 Speaker 1: want right now. Make it somebody else's problem. This is 1662 01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:47,120 Speaker 1: just intergenerational socialism, that's all it is. And this is 1663 01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:50,200 Speaker 1: what Bernie Sanders is promising you without saying as much, 1664 01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:52,639 Speaker 1: by claiming that they're going to pay for your healthcare 1665 01:34:52,640 --> 01:34:54,599 Speaker 1: and everything's going to be fine and all the rest 1666 01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:58,720 Speaker 1: of it. But this might even be a worse analysis 1667 01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:03,120 Speaker 1: from the guy who's supposed to be the smart one 1668 01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:05,720 Speaker 1: of the Democrat candidates or the smartest one of the 1669 01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:11,040 Speaker 1: Democrat candidates now mayor Pete Buddha judge. He has this 1670 01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:17,720 Speaker 1: to say about the Syrian Civil War play Cliff ten Oh. 1671 01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:21,120 Speaker 1: This is very important because we are already seeing evidence 1672 01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:25,880 Speaker 1: that a conflict in migration crisis are increased because of 1673 01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:30,519 Speaker 1: things like drafts and fires that are accelerated by the 1674 01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:34,160 Speaker 1: problems in our climate. There's some evidence that this contributed, 1675 01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:38,240 Speaker 1: true example, to the Syrian Civil War. I mean, this 1676 01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:42,439 Speaker 1: is an absurd stupidity. Climate change contributed to the Syrian 1677 01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:48,960 Speaker 1: Civil War? What this is? This is so beyond bonkers. 1678 01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:51,960 Speaker 1: But I've heard other people say this too, because you know, 1679 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:55,360 Speaker 1: climate climate chan is a religions climate change. Climate involves everything, right, Oh, 1680 01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:57,880 Speaker 1: it's warmer outside, so then it's more likely that people 1681 01:35:57,960 --> 01:35:59,840 Speaker 1: might be outside. And then you know, climate change is 1682 01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:03,080 Speaker 1: called using murders in the streets of Chicago because it's warmer, right, 1683 01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:05,040 Speaker 1: and murders in the streets of New Orleans or New 1684 01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:08,960 Speaker 1: York or wherever. I mean, it's kind of true. But 1685 01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:12,200 Speaker 1: is a climate change it's causing people to murder people 1686 01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:16,000 Speaker 1: or people murdering people. This is absurd. This is The 1687 01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:23,400 Speaker 1: fallacies of causation here are truly mind blowing. And you 1688 01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:27,760 Speaker 1: know when you have this supposedly the supposed genius really 1689 01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:29,439 Speaker 1: of the Democrat, I always a Rhode scar but I 1690 01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:32,400 Speaker 1: told people are RhoD Scholar. Not that impressive, don't that's all. 1691 01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:34,880 Speaker 1: It's like, it's the RhoD Scholar now is like the 1692 01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:37,160 Speaker 1: Nobel Peace Prize. Anybody who knows anything knows that was like, 1693 01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:42,280 Speaker 1: come on, very political, But yeah, climate change is the 1694 01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:44,960 Speaker 1: cause of the Syrians Civil War. You have to stretch 1695 01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:48,040 Speaker 1: hard to think of ways that liberals could be crazier 1696 01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:51,000 Speaker 1: these days. And this is why, you know, I saw 1697 01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:54,479 Speaker 1: the segment last night the Tucker did on his show 1698 01:36:56,360 --> 01:36:58,760 Speaker 1: where he said that the only person in the Democratic 1699 01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:02,680 Speaker 1: Party who could unify the entire Democratic Party has the 1700 01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:06,840 Speaker 1: national recognition and favorables and everything to wipe away all 1701 01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:12,360 Speaker 1: the Democrats problems right now from the primaries is Michelle Obama. 1702 01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:15,040 Speaker 1: And she says she doesn't want oh, but he played 1703 01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:17,240 Speaker 1: a clip of Obama saying in two thousand and six, oh, no, 1704 01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:20,080 Speaker 1: I'm not running. Of course, I'm definitely not running. And 1705 01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:22,479 Speaker 1: if we end up having Obama's president for eight years, 1706 01:37:25,200 --> 01:37:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm talking about the outlie or possibility of 1707 01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:30,360 Speaker 1: a Hillary Hillary Clinton run and I don't think it 1708 01:37:30,439 --> 01:37:34,040 Speaker 1: is likely, but I don't think it's impossible. I think 1709 01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:37,120 Speaker 1: you also would have to say it is not impossible 1710 01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:40,720 Speaker 1: for there to be a Michelle Obama candidacy and a 1711 01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:45,080 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama presidency. She would be make no mistake about it. 1712 01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:49,960 Speaker 1: She would be formidable, my friends. And you know, we're 1713 01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:55,360 Speaker 1: used to seeing these deeply uninspiring Democrat candidates with all 1714 01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:58,240 Speaker 1: kinds of problems and negatives. And unfavorables and all this stuff. 1715 01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:06,080 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama is a widely beloved figure and has all 1716 01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:09,200 Speaker 1: the connections and all the name recognition the Democratic Party 1717 01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:12,519 Speaker 1: could ever want. And then some do I think she's 1718 01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:14,439 Speaker 1: going to get into I wouldn't put money on it, 1719 01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:18,640 Speaker 1: but if she did, I do believe she would be 1720 01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:21,280 Speaker 1: the candidate, and I do believe that Trump would have 1721 01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:24,960 Speaker 1: his handsful. I think that that's true. You've got to 1722 01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:27,519 Speaker 1: just think back to, you know, the narratives of the 1723 01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:31,040 Speaker 1: Obama administration and the feelings of the you know, what 1724 01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:35,240 Speaker 1: Obama left the Democratic Party with after he was no 1725 01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:37,360 Speaker 1: longer in office. I mean, you know, we've been saying 1726 01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:39,439 Speaker 1: the only way to set right twenty sixteen is if 1727 01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:42,280 Speaker 1: Hillary somehow becomes a candidate and beats Trump. Now in 1728 01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:45,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That's one narrative, for sure, But think about 1729 01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:49,120 Speaker 1: the narrative of Michelle Obama and the Democratic Party going 1730 01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:52,679 Speaker 1: forward if she were to run. I don't I don't know. Look, 1731 01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:55,280 Speaker 1: I've never talked to Michelle. I don't know. Everyone says, oh, 1732 01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:58,280 Speaker 1: she'll never do it, she'll never do it. Does anyone 1733 01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:00,880 Speaker 1: doubt that if Michelle Obama announced that she would first 1734 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:04,519 Speaker 1: of all, Joe Biden support would evaporate overnight. Everybody right 1735 01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:06,680 Speaker 1: now that would vote for Joe Biden would be like, 1736 01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:09,040 Speaker 1: oh sorry, Joe back there now. Now we're going to 1737 01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:11,639 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama. See you let so so in the national poll, 1738 01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:13,479 Speaker 1: she would be the front runner at that I am 1739 01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:17,240 Speaker 1: absolutely confident of. And then look at some of the 1740 01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:20,439 Speaker 1: other candidates out there too. You know what, what what support? Really? 1741 01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:25,200 Speaker 1: What support lingers for Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris and 1742 01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:29,200 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama and I we're thinking a little bit outside 1743 01:39:29,200 --> 01:39:32,400 Speaker 1: the box here, my friends. The way the Democrats can 1744 01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:38,160 Speaker 1: turn this whole thing around is something like a game 1745 01:39:38,280 --> 01:39:41,919 Speaker 1: change moment. And in this case, the game change candidate 1746 01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:44,320 Speaker 1: would be would be Michelle Obama. And you know, look, 1747 01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:47,760 Speaker 1: I was not a fan of the Obama presidencies policies 1748 01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:50,080 Speaker 1: at all. As you know, I went, I went to 1749 01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:52,360 Speaker 1: the mat trying to fight against them when I first 1750 01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:57,439 Speaker 1: got into this world of media. This is the one 1751 01:39:57,520 --> 01:40:01,080 Speaker 1: thing that I don't think Democrats have the strategic foresight 1752 01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:03,240 Speaker 1: to bring, you know, to make this happen. I don't think. 1753 01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:06,400 Speaker 1: I think the Democratic Party is too at war with 1754 01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:08,400 Speaker 1: itself in too many ways. And maybe Michelle Obama just 1755 01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:10,080 Speaker 1: also doesn't want to do it. She'd rather just be 1756 01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:12,120 Speaker 1: super famous and super rich and like have everyone talked 1757 01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:14,080 Speaker 1: about how wonderful she has all the time when she 1758 01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:15,720 Speaker 1: just had to be the first lady. That's it, just 1759 01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:17,599 Speaker 1: had to be first lady. He's the most wonderful person ever. 1760 01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:22,560 Speaker 1: But you never know. Tucker did a segment on the 1761 01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:23,880 Speaker 1: last time I was watching it, and I was like, 1762 01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,880 Speaker 1: I think this is uh. I think I think he 1763 01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:29,400 Speaker 1: would be onto something if this a reality, But right 1764 01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:33,519 Speaker 1: now it is just speculation, which pundits in political season 1765 01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:37,559 Speaker 1: love to do. Like soft butter on warm toast. Time 1766 01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:49,160 Speaker 1: to spread some freedom coast to coast. It's time for 1767 01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:53,240 Speaker 1: roll call, Facebook dot com, slash buck Sexton for roll 1768 01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:59,960 Speaker 1: call or team Bucket. iHeartMedia dot com. So, by the way, 1769 01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:01,360 Speaker 1: it's one quick note. I got a little I got 1770 01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:03,360 Speaker 1: a tweet last night. This is very nice. I said. 1771 01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:06,720 Speaker 1: I just said something about my friend Sarah Carters. I 1772 01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:08,479 Speaker 1: saw her. I watched a little Fox last night. Usually 1773 01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:10,360 Speaker 1: I'm too busy, but I watched some Fox last night 1774 01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:13,200 Speaker 1: and I said something. I said, I was watching my 1775 01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:15,559 Speaker 1: buddy Sarah Carter be awesome on the Hannity Show. She's 1776 01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:17,160 Speaker 1: a great journal lit some one of the nicest people 1777 01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:20,519 Speaker 1: out there you'd ever meet. And Johnny Joey Jones, who's 1778 01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:25,519 Speaker 1: also a super nice guy, Purple Heart recipient, military EO 1779 01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:30,040 Speaker 1: D veteran. He responded to me, from my experience, buck 1780 01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:32,280 Speaker 1: climbs the ladder with one hand and reaches down with 1781 01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:34,960 Speaker 1: the other. That's rare in this business. And I applaud 1782 01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:36,479 Speaker 1: it when I see it, and I told him that 1783 01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:37,720 Speaker 1: was very nice, and then I made my day. It 1784 01:41:37,760 --> 01:41:41,320 Speaker 1: was very nice of very nice of Johnny Joey Over. 1785 01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:43,400 Speaker 1: He's now a Fox contributor, Very nice of him to 1786 01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:46,519 Speaker 1: say that. And you know, not that I do, and 1787 01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:50,040 Speaker 1: not that I help people behind the scenes for accolades, 1788 01:41:50,240 --> 01:41:52,960 Speaker 1: but I've helped a lot of people behind the scenes 1789 01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:54,759 Speaker 1: for somebody without a lot of cloud in the business. 1790 01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:57,479 Speaker 1: So it was nice to get a I do because 1791 01:41:57,520 --> 01:41:58,640 Speaker 1: I like to do it. I think it's the right 1792 01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:00,040 Speaker 1: thing to do. But it was nice to get a 1793 01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:04,639 Speaker 1: shout out from jj Over at Fox News, Johnny Joey 1794 01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:06,839 Speaker 1: Jones about that, well, I guess that would be JJJ, 1795 01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:09,599 Speaker 1: but about that one, So it was very nice of him. 1796 01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:13,680 Speaker 1: All Right, let's uh let's get into the royal call, 1797 01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:16,040 Speaker 1: shall we. Justin, it's going to kick us off here. 1798 01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,840 Speaker 1: Hey Buck, working in pharmaceutical supply chain, I can tell 1799 01:42:19,840 --> 01:42:24,160 Speaker 1: you how to reduce prescription medication costs starting today with 1800 01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:27,400 Speaker 1: no effort by the government. Today, our patents expire after 1801 01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:29,400 Speaker 1: twenty years, and it can take up to ten years 1802 01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:32,519 Speaker 1: from filing to get them into the market. That means 1803 01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:34,640 Speaker 1: the millions and billions of dollars we spend on R 1804 01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:37,200 Speaker 1: and D and other activities have to have to be 1805 01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:41,200 Speaker 1: recouped and a profit made in ten years before a 1806 01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:45,320 Speaker 1: product goes generic. Is actually hurts the early adopters of 1807 01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:47,840 Speaker 1: a new treatment the most, as they are the most 1808 01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:51,679 Speaker 1: likely as they are most likely the most sick and 1809 01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:55,080 Speaker 1: the current treatments aren't working. As such, they pay the 1810 01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:58,920 Speaker 1: brunt of this. If the patents were extended another ten years, 1811 01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:01,400 Speaker 1: that could literally cut the costs in half, as we 1812 01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:05,439 Speaker 1: would we could amortize the cost even further and reduce 1813 01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:07,800 Speaker 1: the cost produced as we'll be living more prior to 1814 01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:11,320 Speaker 1: losing our patents. Justin, that's interesting. I mean, I just 1815 01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:14,360 Speaker 1: feel like you're kind of dispersing the cost more over 1816 01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:18,240 Speaker 1: a longer period of time, which ultimately means that consumers 1817 01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:20,000 Speaker 1: are still paying the same amount, but it would mean 1818 01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:21,960 Speaker 1: that in the short term, as you point out, people 1819 01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:24,400 Speaker 1: that are desperate for very for new drugs for things, 1820 01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:27,720 Speaker 1: and when they have drugs that aren't working that might 1821 01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:32,080 Speaker 1: help them. So certainly interesting an interesting way to approach it. 1822 01:43:32,120 --> 01:43:33,800 Speaker 1: I'd have to look at how the math would work 1823 01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,479 Speaker 1: out on that. Let's keep in mind, I mean patents 1824 01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:40,080 Speaker 1: are in the sense of government intrusion in the marketplace, right, 1825 01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:44,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you're giving people to incentivize research and development. 1826 01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:50,080 Speaker 1: You are giving a temporary monopoly to a company, monopoly 1827 01:43:50,160 --> 01:43:57,120 Speaker 1: via government regulation, government legislation, so you know, you're not 1828 01:43:57,320 --> 01:43:59,280 Speaker 1: really you know, it's not just the market operating and 1829 01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:01,439 Speaker 1: you've got a product, somebody else can make that product. Well, 1830 01:44:01,960 --> 01:44:06,439 Speaker 1: you know, patents are open to interpretation and there's a 1831 01:44:06,439 --> 01:44:10,280 Speaker 1: balancing test that has done of how long. But I mean, 1832 01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:12,759 Speaker 1: for example, I think like Mickey Mouse or is still 1833 01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:14,559 Speaker 1: under I mean things that are there are things that 1834 01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:16,400 Speaker 1: are patented that are now going on like one hundred 1835 01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:19,080 Speaker 1: years old that are still a copyrighted I'm sorry, not 1836 01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:22,759 Speaker 1: patented so and people argue that that wasn't initially supposed 1837 01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:24,800 Speaker 1: to be the way the copyrights worked. You know the 1838 01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:27,400 Speaker 1: fact that the Beatles catalog from the sixties is still 1839 01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:31,240 Speaker 1: worth billions of dollars or whatever it is, At what 1840 01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:33,400 Speaker 1: point does it fall into common usage? And you know, 1841 01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:35,160 Speaker 1: we could play a Beatles song here and not worry 1842 01:44:35,160 --> 01:44:42,599 Speaker 1: about getting sued. I'm just saying, TJ. Did producer Mark 1843 01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:47,720 Speaker 1: say that he shucked corn and skinned a cow over 1844 01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:51,760 Speaker 1: the weekend? Wow? What a standard American? Sounds like. Buck 1845 01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:53,759 Speaker 1: needs to hang out with Mark Moore in the off time. 1846 01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:57,880 Speaker 1: I bet Mark catches catfish from dust till dawn. Not 1847 01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:00,880 Speaker 1: to mention, he can probably skin a buck and run 1848 01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:04,880 Speaker 1: a trot line. Uh yeah, do you know how to 1849 01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:06,840 Speaker 1: do all those things? Yeah? Of course. I go fishing 1850 01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:10,439 Speaker 1: in the Hudson River often. I just have to get 1851 01:45:10,920 --> 01:45:13,320 Speaker 1: rid of the dead bodies. Also, so I'm actually part 1852 01:45:13,479 --> 01:45:16,519 Speaker 1: NYPD agent. I help them with the dead bodies and 1853 01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:18,680 Speaker 1: I go fishing at the same time. Well, funny man, 1854 01:45:18,760 --> 01:45:20,120 Speaker 1: I can tell you that I've actually gone fishing in 1855 01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:24,160 Speaker 1: the East River. Why for what? Stripe bass that you 1856 01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:27,799 Speaker 1: would eat that? We took it to a fancy restaurant 1857 01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:31,320 Speaker 1: on the Upper east Side and they fillated for as. No, 1858 01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:33,720 Speaker 1: it's an estuary comes in right from the ocean. Do 1859 01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,760 Speaker 1: you know the disgusting things that are probably in that river? Yeah, 1860 01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:40,000 Speaker 1: But if you're saying the fish, they have a filtration process, 1861 01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:42,439 Speaker 1: the gills and stuff, it's fine. Next you say you're 1862 01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:44,320 Speaker 1: gonna drop something on the floor of the subway and 1863 01:45:44,360 --> 01:45:46,320 Speaker 1: then eat it, that's the same thing. I mean, I 1864 01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:49,240 Speaker 1: have a strong immune system, you know. Trying to make sure. 1865 01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:51,120 Speaker 1: Even Producer Brandon look back on that one. He was 1866 01:45:51,120 --> 01:45:53,360 Speaker 1: like that, I need to get some glass between you 1867 01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:56,280 Speaker 1: and I here. I mean, it's gonna be flu season soon, 1868 01:45:56,360 --> 01:45:57,760 Speaker 1: so get after it. And by the way, do you 1869 01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:00,360 Speaker 1: get a flu shot? No? Are your flu shot? Guy Brandon? 1870 01:46:01,160 --> 01:46:02,599 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna get one because I don't want 1871 01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:04,040 Speaker 1: to miss a whole week of the show because I 1872 01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:07,439 Speaker 1: had the flu three years ago and for a week 1873 01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:09,800 Speaker 1: I was immobilized. I couldn't do anything. What happens if 1874 01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:11,960 Speaker 1: both of us get the flu and then Producer Brandon 1875 01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:13,840 Speaker 1: gets to run the show and do the show, and 1876 01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:17,760 Speaker 1: you'll hear a lot about guns n' rosie. Yeah, appetite 1877 01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:21,599 Speaker 1: for distraction? What is it? Distortion? Yeah? You can yell, 1878 01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:26,559 Speaker 1: we could. I'll repeat what you say after the mic. Aaron, WHOA, 1879 01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:28,080 Speaker 1: this is long buck. I was wondering if you could 1880 01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:31,560 Speaker 1: address COPA when you return from the holiday. It was 1881 01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:35,480 Speaker 1: all pass in nineteen ninety eight, of course, authored by Democrat. Recently, 1882 01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:37,479 Speaker 1: YouTube had to settled with the FTC for one hundred 1883 01:46:37,479 --> 01:46:40,160 Speaker 1: and seventy million and changes rules as a result. That 1884 01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:42,439 Speaker 1: means that a lot of good, clean family content will 1885 01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:45,400 Speaker 1: be wiped out financially, for one, because they're not allowed 1886 01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:47,519 Speaker 1: to use targeted ads. This makes no sense to me, 1887 01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:49,840 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. I love free market. I hate 1888 01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:53,879 Speaker 1: to see regulation. Aaron, I don't know much about COPA. 1889 01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:57,599 Speaker 1: All I know this is Coppa, not like COPA Ka 1890 01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:03,559 Speaker 1: band different, Right that's a different or the right, Yes, 1891 01:47:03,640 --> 01:47:06,240 Speaker 1: that's a different, or the COPA mundial the World Cup 1892 01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:09,000 Speaker 1: for those of us who like to watch little soccer 1893 01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:12,680 Speaker 1: because we're barely American, Uh, Aaron, I don't know much 1894 01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:16,960 Speaker 1: about the CEO PPAM other than what I saw on 1895 01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:18,760 Speaker 1: the show Silicon Valley, which I do find to be 1896 01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:22,400 Speaker 1: a very funny show, quite quite a clever show. Um 1897 01:47:22,680 --> 01:47:23,960 Speaker 1: So I got nothing for you on that right now? 1898 01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:25,280 Speaker 1: Then I'll have to look at it. Maybe'll come back 1899 01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:27,000 Speaker 1: to it after the holiday. A producer Mark reminds me. 1900 01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:29,519 Speaker 1: Usually he guilts me and he says, you promised the audience. 1901 01:47:29,560 --> 01:47:31,479 Speaker 1: He's he's your advocate here in the hut. I just 1902 01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:33,080 Speaker 1: want to do what I want to do. I'm an 1903 01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:35,160 Speaker 1: artiste here in the hut. He makes sure that I 1904 01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:37,240 Speaker 1: keep promises to the degree that I can all up 1905 01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:40,080 Speaker 1: to Producer Brandon after Thanksgiving. That's sure. Actually, Producer Mark 1906 01:47:40,200 --> 01:47:42,240 Speaker 1: is going to be not thinking about us as he 1907 01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:48,480 Speaker 1: is downing. You know, mudslides and my ties in Jamaica, 1908 01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:52,439 Speaker 1: love those, all of those things.
