1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: The tariff war with Mexico could in fact be on

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: my friends, This is in addition to what Trump is

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,079
Speaker 1: trying with China. We will talk about whether this is

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: the right policy move, could it help finally secure the border.

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: Plus Bernie Sanders says that the Soviet Union was bad,

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: but isn't that kind of new for him because didn't

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: he go there. We've got that, plus Biden's plagiarism and

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: a whole lot more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show.

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: And we've been working with decades from Mexico to be

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: equal partners to resolve this problem, and they've remained on

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: the sidelines from day one. They only have about one

12
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty miles of chunk point of the border

13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: that they need to enforce, and we have two thousand.

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: We need Mexico to do to do three things. We

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: need them to do their interdiction along their border, We

16
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: need them to attack and target the TCOs that are

17
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: profiting from this, and we need them to be partners

18
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: with respect of the side them process. I think that

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: this pressure is going to bring them to the table

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: and get them closer to doing what they should be doing.

21
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody fight over the

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: border is heating up. How much is for sure at

23
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: this point? Do you have Republicans who are getting a

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: little bit a little auntie, a little concerned about what

25
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: the economic implications will be from this possible tariff and

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: tariff escalation that will come. It starts next week five

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: percent on all goods from Mexico into this country, driving

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of dollars of goods overall, and that

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: will only go up from there, right, it will be

30
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: even more. This is a heck of a lot more.

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Three hundred and fifty billion dollars a year of Mexican

32
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: imports is what we're dealing with here. So five percent

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: and then ten percent and then fifteen percents a lot

34
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: of money. And this is in addition to what Trump

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: has already taken on with tariffs against China to try

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: to force China to the table on ending its unfair

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: predatory trading practices, intellectual property theft, all other things. And

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: I do believe the President has largely on the substance,

39
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: won that argument as to whether we should confront China

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: before Trump came along. Oh no, we can't do that

41
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: trade war. Oh it's terrible now and says, well, hold

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: on a second, what have the Chinese really been doing?

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: And what does the future look like if we don't

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: take a different posture when it comes to China. But

45
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: now he's looking at Mexico and it's like, all right,

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: maybe we're the tariffs there too. I do have a

47
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a concern that tariffs now are the

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: hammer and that Trump sees everything because he's got that

49
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: hammer as a nail. But maybe this does work, and

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: it certainly would work better if Republicans didn't at the

51
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: first sign of any friction, of any political and economic

52
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: cost suggest this is now the Senate Republicans who at

53
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: a lot of chrony capitalist, quasi open borders donor class

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: Republicans in the Senate, that's where you find a lot

55
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: of them, and they get very concerned about this and

56
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: what it would mean, what it would mean for their

57
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: reelection prospects, I think, and also it would have a

58
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: negative impact on some businesses, and there will be some

59
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: economic pain that comes from this. I don't think there's

60
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: any question about that. But there's another aspect of this

61
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: that we have to think about, and that is what

62
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: is acceptable right now? What is an acceptable future for

63
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: us when it comes to the border. I mean you

64
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: had Mark Morgan there to start off the segment here

65
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: talking about how Mexico can do more than it is

66
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: doing to help us out on this and should do more.

67
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: He says, there needs to be interdiction along the more

68
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: interdiction along the border, attack the criminal organizations, and be

69
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: partners in the asylum process. How many months now have

70
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: I been saying to you and Mexico needs to become

71
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: a safe third country and we need an agreement with

72
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: them to be a safe third country, meaning that anyone

73
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: who wants to get asylum in this country would show

74
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: up here, present themselves, but stay on the Mexican side

75
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: of the US Mexico border and have their process adjudicated

76
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: without them disappearing into the American interior, without the enormous

77
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: magnet that exists right now for fraud, for lawbreaking, and

78
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: for making a mockery of our immigration process by either

79
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: presenting oneself as a family unit when that's not the case,

80
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: or just knowing that as a family unit, if you

81
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: come to the border, you're going to be released into

82
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: the American interior, and then there will be no real effort,

83
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: no real accountability to track you down afterwards. If this

84
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: doesn't change, then our situation at the border will not change.

85
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: It will only continue at one hundred thousand plus a

86
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: month coming into this country, and we will not have

87
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: a border that anybody could seriously consider secure. It's not

88
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: secure right now. It's the worst that it has been

89
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: in a very long time. Completely overwhelmed, is what you're hearing.

90
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the description from the border patrol has

91
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: been for weeks. Arrests have surged to a seven year

92
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: high while these talks with Mexico are going on. I'm sorry,

93
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: but I have a tough time believing that we could

94
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: be at a point where we're setting records right now,

95
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: after all the attention to this issue has gotten and

96
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, more than one hundred and forty four thousand,

97
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: two hundred migrants according to the the New York Times. Here

98
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: we're taken into custody by Customs and Border Protection along

99
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: the southwestern border in May. That is a thirty two

100
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: percent increase, the highest monthly in seven years. Most crossed

101
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: the border illegally. Ten percent arrived without the proper documents

102
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: at ports of entry, so they are crossing. These are

103
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: all illegal crossings, one hundred and forty four thousand illegal

104
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: crossings that resulted in people to being taken into custody.

105
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, almost all of them were illegal crossings. And

106
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: then you had about one in ten are in custody

107
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: because they don't have the right documents when they showed

108
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: up at a port of entry. So this problem is

109
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: even worse than worse than people who have been trying

110
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: to get the alarm alarm bells wrong. Realize, one hundred

111
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: and forty four thousand, we're gonna be We're gonna be

112
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: over well over a million for the year if this

113
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: keeps up, one hundred and forty four thousand people showing up,

114
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: not going through the normal And keep in mind, we

115
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: already have through the legal immigration process a million people

116
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: a year who are going to be brought into the

117
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: American family. Personally, we have a million people a year

118
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: who will be staying in this country forever. And that's legal,

119
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: and that's fine. But I'm just saying, you know, there's

120
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: a lot that our immigration system is already handling and

121
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: dealing with that you're going to add on to it. Now,

122
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: almost one hundred and fifty thousand people illegally crossing a

123
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: month is just indicative of how completely out of control

124
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: the situation is. Who can afford who can better afford

125
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: in this trade dispute now that Trump is or this

126
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: this fight over a possible tariff implementation, Who can better

127
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: afford this price tag us for them? We have been

128
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: led to believe, I think, and this is from the

129
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: go along to get along swamp culture in DC. We

130
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: were led to believe that when it comes to foreign relations,

131
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: America should never it's bullying if we use leverage against

132
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: a country that's not an oppositional country, or that's not

133
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: North Korea or Russia or something, but you know, any

134
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: other country we deal with, especially a neighbor like Mexico,

135
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: it bullying if we say we're going to need you

136
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: to do this or else to this. I say, this

137
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: is negotiation. In any negotiation, there are good things you

138
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: can offer, and there are things you can offer that

139
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: aren't so good. You could say you do this, or

140
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: I'll do that, or you do this, or I'll do

141
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: this other thing that you don't want me to do.

142
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: That's how this goes. We've been asking the Mexican government

143
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: for a long time to help us more on this problem.

144
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: We've been trying to get them to be more constructive partners,

145
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: but they don't want to do that. Maybe they don't

146
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: want to spend the resources, maybe they don't want to

147
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: handle this. But the Mexican government can do a whole

148
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: lot more. And we know this. Lindsey Graham I think

149
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: is a spot on here when he says that they

150
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: should become a third safe country. We should have that

151
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: agreement in place, and the other things that we see

152
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: going on with the buses and everything else, that all

153
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: has to stop. Play clip nine. Ask Mexico to do

154
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: two or three things that they're not doing that wouldn't

155
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: matter help us. Make sure you apply for asylum in

156
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: Mexico or Central America, not the United States. Stop giving

157
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: them buses to get to our border. A few things

158
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: you could do would help the problem. And if they'll

159
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: do those few things, we won't do tariffs. But if

160
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: they refuse to help us, what options do we have?

161
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: Refuse to help us? What options do we have? There

162
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: are things on the books I'll have you know if

163
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: you if you really want to go deep in the

164
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: weeds and immigration, there are things like any country that

165
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: does not take back those that we are trying to deport.

166
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: We can suspend all visas. This is currently on the

167
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: books for immigration. We can suspend all visas from that country.

168
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure if the Trump administration did that with any

169
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: of these Central American states, we'd be told that it's horrible.

170
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: And look what they said when we cut off aid.

171
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: We're not allowed to invoke and this is the liberal

172
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: mentality on the immigration crisis. We are not allowed to

173
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: invoke consequences. We're not allowed to cause consequences for anyone

174
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: in this process. We cannot punish people that cross illegally.

175
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: We cannot punish dates that will not stop those from

176
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: crossing illegally Mexico. We cannot punish Central American countries that

177
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: are allowing this outflow from their own territory into Mexico.

178
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: It's no one's fault. No one is allowed to suffer

179
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: anything as a result, suffer any consequences because of this.

180
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: And if we as a sovereign nation, try to re

181
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: establish our sovereignty in some meaningful sense, if we're trying

182
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: to take any action that would deal with you, now

183
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: going on one hundred and fifty thousand a month illegally

184
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: crossing into the country. We're bad the we're the bad

185
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: guys here. They're saying it. Oh, Trump, this tiff, this

186
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: teriff issue is just showing how, you know, how he

187
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: doesn't really understand the economics self. No, I think he

188
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: does understand the economics involved. What does it cost the

189
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: country right now to have this problem of illegal immigration.

190
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: What is the cost in healthcare and schools, in the

191
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: processing of all these people by the federal government, the

192
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: court time, the lawyers that I'll be appointed in a

193
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: Washington Post. Biggest story in the Washington Post front page

194
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: is HHS canceling English classes and legal aid for unaccompanied

195
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: child migrants in shelters. Let's understand what's happening here. Every

196
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: unaccompanied migrant child that is currently in federal government custody

197
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: was sent by adults who know that they are exploiting

198
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: the system. So this is a direct response to what

199
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: we have going right now, which is trying to do

200
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: everything we can to make them as comfortable as possible

201
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: and to release them to a sponsor family somewhere in

202
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: the United States. But this is not this is not

203
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: what's supposed to happen. You're not supposed to take your

204
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: kid from some other country, send them to the US

205
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: border and say okay, you take care of him now

206
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: until we can find somewhere else for that person to go.

207
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: There are budgetary constraints, and the budgetary constraints now are

208
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: affecting some soccer programs that they've set up for unaccompanied migrants,

209
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: for schooling programs. Look, I don't blame these kids. It's

210
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: not about punishing the kids. But Congress needs to do

211
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: more here to stop this from happen. The answer can't

212
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: be yeah, we are running a giant education and entertainment

213
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: facility for anyone who wants to send their child to America,

214
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: not through the legitimate process, and to put them in

215
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: the hands of coyotes, to put them in positions where

216
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: they are enriching the cartels, and then again no one

217
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: suffers any consequences. If you were a Central American who

218
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: wanted to come to America right now, why not do it?

219
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: Nothing bad is gonna I mean nothing bad is going

220
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: to happen to you from the American government. Bad things

221
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: gonna happen because of the coyotes and the transfer across

222
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: cartel controlled territory. Are we allowed to do anything to

223
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: Mexico to comply. I re allowed to do anything to

224
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: get some of these other countries that are taking money

225
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: from US. That's right, taxpayers sending them checks. I see here.

226
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: Guatemala says it's working with the US to tighten its

227
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: borders and try to break up these caravans. Well, it's

228
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: it's about time. It's about time, and it maybe is

229
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: only happening because they see that if we're willing to

230
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: take steps against Mexico, that we'll have some economic consequences

231
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: in political pain in this country too. Tariffs are not

232
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: going to be pain free. But if we're willing to

233
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: do that, then maybe we're going to do more about

234
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: the Central American countries where a lot of these margarets

235
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: are coming from. But this is as a major issue.

236
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: We got more on this team and a whole lot

237
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: more show to talk about, so stay with me. The

238
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: news came that the President had this notion that he

239
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: was going to treat Mexico as an enemy. This is

240
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: dangerous territory. This is not a way to treat a friend.

241
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: It's not a way to deal with immigration, it's not

242
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: a way to deal the humanitarian needs at the border. Okay,

243
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi econ and trade expert Nancy Pelosi tonight at eleven,

244
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: what is the way to deal with Mexico on this?

245
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: What is the way to deal with the humanitarian crisis

246
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: at the border. It's also an illegal immigration crisis. Notice

247
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: that the Democrats always trying to control the language, always

248
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: trying to control the way that we talk about this.

249
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: What do they present? Oh, that's right, it's just humanitarian.

250
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: Because then if you don't fund, you know, English as

251
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: a second language classes for the migrant children, if you're

252
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: not putting them in school, giving them taxpayer funded healthcare,

253
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: and you know, recreational programs and movie showings and all

254
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: these things, you're a terrible person. Meanwhile, we are this

255
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: is a scam. We are being scammed. It is happening

256
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: every day, and it's happening now to the tune of

257
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: almost one hundred and fifty thousand a month. I just

258
00:14:54,440 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: saw that number today. It's astonishing. And Pelos, she says

259
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: that we're treating Mexico like an enemy. Why does Canada?

260
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: Is Canada treating us like an enemy? Because there are

261
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: some tariffs on the import of US goods into Canada,

262
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: so they can protect some of their own industries. Is

263
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: the EU treating us like an enemy because they have

264
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: tariffs in place to protect some of their industries that

265
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: they think are particularly necessary or sensitive for their own reasons.

266
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: I would just I would like to know where the

267
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: lines are drawn here to call it treating Mexico like

268
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: the enemy. Look, I understand there's a difference. Then there

269
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: should be a difference in how we approach dealing with

270
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: China and how we approach dealing with Mexico on trade.

271
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: But this isn't really that hard, is it. Are we

272
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: asking for anything from the Mexican government that is impossible?

273
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: Are we saying, well, if you don't stop all the

274
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: flow of drugs into this country, which are now killing

275
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of Americans a year. But look, that's hard,

276
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: that's hard. You know, the cartels are not comply ying

277
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: with the Mexican government by their very definition. They're breaking

278
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: the law. They're going around. Well there's I'm sure plenty

279
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: of collusion with Mexican authorities, but that's another issue. But

280
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: we're saying, is hey, when you have a crowd of

281
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: a thousand Hondurans or Guatemalans who are all marching together

282
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: across the country. Can you not provide them with food

283
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: and shelter and buses and take them right to the

284
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,239
Speaker 1: border and then just say, well, this is your problem, America.

285
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: Can you offer them safe haven in your country and

286
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: play ball this a little bit more so that they're

287
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: not walking into our country? Does that seem unreasonable? Is that?

288
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: Is that an enemy state request? I can assure you

289
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: that if we had one hundred and fifty thousand or

290
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: so illegal crossings at our northern border with Canada, we

291
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: would have some tough words for our Canadian brothers and sisters.

292
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: You know, we would have to say, hey, can you

293
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: guys get a handle on things. If you can't, we're

294
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to you know, there's gonna have to be

295
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: some consequences year. But you know, but Pelosi, all the

296
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: Democrats do on this issue is complain about Trump. They

297
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: never have anything to offer that is constructive. They just

298
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: want to sit back and use this as a means

299
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: of bashing the administration, calling him racist, calling him xenophobic,

300
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: and doing everything in their power in the meantime to

301
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: obstruct any meaningful change about the current situation of the border,

302
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: which is it is worse than it has been in

303
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: the last twenty years. Right now, President Trump, who beat

304
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: the Republican field largely by talking tough on immigration and

305
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: making some big promises. The immigration situation at our border

306
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: is worse than it has been in twenty years. What

307
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: is Trump supposed to ignore this? Tariffs? One reason he's

308
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: gone for tariffs is because it's an area where at

309
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: least the Democrats. You don't think some judge from the

310
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: Ninth Circuit is going to come along and say, oh,

311
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: the President can institute tariffs or maybe a judge, well,

312
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: just give it time, we'll be back. We have a

313
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: border situation in the inner station. You have one over here.

314
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: But I hear it's going to work out very well.

315
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: I think it's both going to work out well. It's

316
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: going to work out very well here. And again, both

317
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: the military and the trade is such a big factor

318
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: and we're going to be discussing that very much. So

319
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: it's an honor to be in Ireland with my friend

320
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: and he's doing a great job as your Prime minister.

321
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: They want to avoid a courses, it's going to avoid

322
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: our wall between No, I think you do. I think

323
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: you do. The way it works now is good. You

324
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: want to try and keep it that way. And I

325
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: know that's a big point of contention with respect to

326
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: Brexit as your border, and I'm sure it's going to

327
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: work out. Well. That was an interesting exchange. That was

328
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: Trump there talking to Leo Varadkar, who is the Prime

329
00:18:52,440 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 1: Minister of Ireland. So oh sorry, President wait is the

330
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: president of Prime Minister of Ireland. I gotta make sure

331
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: I get this to get this right. It doesn't really

332
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: I'll figure it out in the meantime. Um, but talking

333
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: about the border wall, uh, you have sure enough the

334
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: the Irish Premier. That's a good way to do one.

335
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: You have the Irish Premier who's not liking the idea

336
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: of a h of a wall between Britain and or

337
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: between England and Ireland over over this whole Brexit issue.

338
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: So here here's I just thought that was kind of

339
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: a funny extent. Also strange that you wouldn't think that

340
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: he's the PM. Thank you, producer, Mike. That's what I thought.

341
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: Just making sure. It's tough to keep it all straight

342
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: with all these European places. UH got you know, you

343
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: get the President of France, Matron Missieur mac roll, and

344
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: then you got the PM in the UK, the PM

345
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: in Ireland, but now they don't want walls there. Ireland.

346
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: You know, I've never been, which is interesting because it's

347
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: kind of the mother country for me in a sense.

348
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: I think I'm about half Irish and I've never been

349
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: to it, so I gotta get I gotta work on that.

350
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: I've been to China, I mean to Afghanistan. I've never

351
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: been to Ireland, so I don't know how that's happened.

352
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: But my friends who have spent a lot of time

353
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: they're tell me that it is shockingly left wing and

354
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: its politics, that it is even even for a European country.

355
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: People have told me. I remember hearing a friend of

356
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: mine who did a who studied in Ireland for years.

357
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: He said that Ireland is the Cuba of Europe. That's

358
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: a whoa. That is rough stuff. I don't know if

359
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: that's true or not, but I wouldn't think of Leo

360
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: Varadkar as a particularly Irish name. But obviously they've had

361
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: a lot of immigration and folks and different backgrounds going

362
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: to Ireland. All right, let's move on the board of

363
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: situation with the tariffs. Let's see if it gets moving

364
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: from Mexico. If you're asking me for a prediction right now,

365
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: I would think I would think that the likeliest situation

366
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: is that Mexico's gonna try to They don't want this

367
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: to go to effect. We don't want this to go

368
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: into effect. So good chance, in my mind that what

369
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: happens here is the Mexican government says, okay, okay, we'll

370
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: do some stuff, and it gives the Trump administration the

371
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: cover to say, all right, since you're gonna work with us,

372
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: we're gon we're gonna put this on hold. And wouldn't

373
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: that be let's just establish this now so that when

374
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: the media is trying to tell you that Trump is

375
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: terrible and he's so bad and doesn't know anything and

376
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: he's orange and his hair is weird, let's remember that

377
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: if that happens, if Mexico promises and takes some additional

378
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: steps as a result of this, it's a threat. I mean,

379
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: it's an economic threat. But this threat of an implementation

380
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: of a five percent tariff, wouldn't that be Trump making

381
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: a deal? Wouldn't that be successful negotiation from the negotiator

382
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: in chief here? I think the answer has to be yes, right.

383
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: I think we have to see this as a win

384
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: for Trump. So I say this now, maybe it doesn't happen,

385
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: maybe the five percent tariff goes into effect. I say

386
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: this now because Trump, you know, will get no credit

387
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: from the media whatsoever. Even if Mexico blinks, Mexico backs

388
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 1: down and says, you know what, we'll play ball on this.

389
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: We'll stop some of this inflow into your country of

390
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: illegals keep in money. You know, Mexico has sovereignty too.

391
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: Mexican government, Mexican authorities can do things about people entering

392
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: their country from another country. You know, if you just

393
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: walked into Mexico without permission, guess what they would have

394
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: a problem with that. But no surprise, they haven't taken

395
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: a whole lot of action so far to help us

396
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: in this process. But if Trump gets action out of them,

397
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: just remember it's a win. And very few media outlets

398
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: will tell you that because they're also invested in the

399
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: destruction of this president. Speaking of the destruction of this president,

400
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: you see what I did there, That's what we call smooth,

401
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: smooth turn by a smooth operator. It's a smooth transition

402
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,239
Speaker 1: you have of the constant talk now of impeachment from

403
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: the media. Thanks Muller, We all know what Mueller's press

404
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: conference was really about. It was to light the fuse

405
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: or re light the fuse on impeachment proceedings against the president.

406
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: You still haven't had anybody really define whether Mueller decide

407
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: whether Muller is going to be giving open testimony, which

408
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: he absolutely must do. I do not understand how anyone

409
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: doesn't see this as a necessary You can't let him

410
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: walk out, just have his say and then just bounce.

411
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: Here's the truth. If the Democrats thought that Mueller would

412
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: provide them, and you know this, Muller would provide them

413
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: with a massive bash Trump extravaganza opportunity, and there wasn't

414
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: a risk to them of it majorly backfiring. We would

415
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: have already had Mueller down on Capitol Hill. Oh, they

416
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: would have pushed for it right away at the House,

417
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: the committees, the media would have been a whole circus.

418
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: But there are questions that Muller needs to be asked.

419
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: There are questions that Christopher Steele is apparently going to

420
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: be asked. But we'll see if not, how that happens

421
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: and when that happens. But for Muller, I would like

422
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: to know, at what point did you find out that

423
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: the operations against the Trump campaign was that one that

424
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: the Trump campaig didn't clue with Russia. You start with that,

425
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: When did you know that? And why did you continue

426
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: with this massive, grinding investigation even after it was clear

427
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: there was no collusion. We know the answer to it,

428
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: but I want to get him on the record as

429
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: to why he continued with this. I also want him

430
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: to explain how it is that the official record of

431
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: the origins of the Russia collusion investigation indicate that this

432
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: was all because of Papadopolis and what he said in

433
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: a bar and that's just laughable, and in fact, in

434
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: the Mulla report, I believe it gets wrong that Mifsu

435
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: reached out to They think that Papadopolus reach out to Mitsu,

436
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: but Mifsud reach to Papadopolis first, which makes this much

437
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: more likely to be a dangle, which would change the

438
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: way that it should have been treated by law enforcement.

439
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: If they put somebody near the campaign and planted the

440
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: idea of Hillary's emails getting hacked by the Russians in

441
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: the first place, then that's entrapment. They're trying to avoid this,

442
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: But what we're going to find out is that there

443
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: was entrapment, but we can't. Unfortunately, until we have the

444
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: IG report, we're limited in how much we can fight

445
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: back on some of this. And in the meantime, the

446
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: Democrats are running around with this impeachment narrative, and first

447
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: of all, the media that they're in a frenzy And

448
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: why are they in a frenzy over this? Well, they're

449
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: in a frenzy because their credibility, such as it is,

450
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: has taken a hit. I don't mean their credibility about

451
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: their reporting so much, because that was already You and

452
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: I both know that a lot of these networks are

453
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: anti Trump. They're full of people who are perpetrators of

454
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: a fake news narrative against Trump. Don't ever forget that

455
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: it was the media that first used the term fake

456
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: news to describe how gullible Republicans and Trump supporters were

457
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: with the stuff that was on Facebook, and Trump managed

458
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: to turn that around to say, Yeah, you think that

459
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: we're gullible. You think that our side traffics in falsehood.

460
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: Your side traffics in falsehood all the time and pass

461
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: themselves in the back for it. Your side traffics in

462
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: propaganda and misdirection, and thinks that they are doing a

463
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: great service for the country. They're not even good faith errors,

464
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: they're bad faith errors. And you embrace this part of

465
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: you know, the journals embraced this part of themselves. But

466
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: the problem that the media has to deal with now,

467
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: the anti Trump media, which is just an we always

468
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: go back and forth on this is the media and

469
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: appendage of the Democratic Party. Is the Democratic Party and

470
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: appendage of the media. I think you make the case

471
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 1: their way, But they promised. I mean, you look at

472
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: someone like Rachel Maddow, her show on MSNBC Night after night.

473
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: The promise of that was and so many people built

474
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: their careers in the last two years on the left

475
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: around there's going to be a moment of Aha, this

476
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: Trump presidency is over. They're gonna get him. If they

477
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: had to lie to get there, that was always okay.

478
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: The people that watch CNN, MSNBC, they're not upset if

479
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: there are fake news stories used to hurt the president.

480
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: That's all part of the effort. In fact, I think

481
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: they'd be upset if they found out that CNN and

482
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: MSNBC and the Washington Post and other places were unwilling

483
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: to bend or even break their standards entirely in order

484
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: to take down this president. After all, they think he's

485
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: a threat to our democracy, they think he's a threat

486
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: to our institutions, clear and present danger to America. Shouldn't

487
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: they be willing to color outside the lines a little

488
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: bit to get this guy. I don't think that the

489
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: CNN audience is, in particular, having spent a lot of

490
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: time over there and having some contact with members of

491
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: that audience through the digital world, they're crazy. I don't

492
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: think that they have a problem at all with the

493
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: fact that CNN has had to fire people for fake

494
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: stories that they've run. They've run with things that were

495
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: big time fake news. They've gotten things wrong, like the

496
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: date of the communications around the around Donald Trump Junior

497
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: and the Trump Tower meeting. There's all kinds of things

498
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: that they just get wrong and wrong and wrong and wrong, wrong.

499
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: As long as it hurts Trump is fine, but wrong.

500
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: And then not giving the goods to the audience, meaning

501
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: the end of the Trump presidency. That's what's so unacceptable

502
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: to them. They've been promising, promising their audience that this

503
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: was all this get Trump effort was going to be

504
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: Watergate two point zero and would result in the destruction

505
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: of this presidency in one way or another, and nothing

506
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: short of that is going to be acceptable to them,

507
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: which is why the media is alloard. They're all on

508
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: board for impeachment, totally believe in it. Playclip three. I'm

509
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: starting a playclip four. Rather, this is the media telling

510
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: you how much there needs to be impeach on playclip four,

511
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: bounting pressure growing calls to start impeachment after Robert Muller

512
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: breaks his two years silence. If the House leadership doesn't

513
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: start hearings now, I believe it's hard to see them

514
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: every doing it in the months ahead. Again, now or never,

515
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: we seem to be moving toward a place where impeachment

516
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: may be inevitable. The damn really seems to be breaking

517
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: wide open. When he was really saying, is Congress has

518
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: a job to do? It was almost a jeopardy question

519
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: the way Robert Muller put it yesterday. There is a

520
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: process other than the criminal justice system to charge a

521
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: sitting president. What's the answer. The answer is impeachment. The

522
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: answer is peachment. I do believe that that in a sense,

523
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: the Democrat aligned media might be giving the Democrat Party

524
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: some bad advice here because they're thinking short term and

525
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: the short term. They just want to have coverage of

526
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: impeachment proceedings. And they feel like if this moves to impeachment,

527
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: no matter what the outcome, the media will have been

528
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: justified in what they've done in the eyes of their

529
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: audience and their supporters and subscribers. And since Trump came

530
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: into office, then then they don't look like they were

531
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: just a bunch of clowns who overpromised, underdelivered, and completely

532
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: debased themselves and their profession, in the profession of journalism

533
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: in the process. They'll say, oh, well, Trump was impeached,

534
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: so we were even if Russia collusion was a farce,

535
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: we were right all along. See, because he got impeached,

536
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: it covers their It covers their backs, so to speak.

537
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: It gives them some professional credibility and some degree of

538
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: relevancy once again, which right now a lot of them

539
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: feel like they're scrambling what have they been doing? What

540
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: was this all about? If not to lead to impeachment. Now,

541
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: Pelosi and the Democrats they gotta think, Okay, but what

542
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: does this really mean? How would this really shake out?

543
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: We'll address that part of it right after the break.

544
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: I travel all the time in the country. Do you

545
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: know most people think that impeachment means you're out of office.

546
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: Did you ever get that feeling or are you just

547
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: in the bubble here? They think that you get impeach,

548
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: you're going and that is completely not true. And I

549
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: may have thought that myself fifty years ago. But you

550
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: get impeach, and it's an indictment. It's an indictment. So

551
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: when you're impeaching somebody, you want to make sure you

552
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: have the strongest possible indictment, because it's not the means

553
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: to the end that people think all you do vote

554
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: to impeach, Bye bye, Bertie. It isn't that She's right,

555
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: It isn't that. First of all, I am a little surprised.

556
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: I feel like, wildly ignorant anti Trump lunatics are Pelosi's base,

557
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden there ignorance is a

558
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: problem for her. That's just a surprise to me. But

559
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,239
Speaker 1: she seems a little bit, a little bit upset by that.

560
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: But notice how she says, it's all about having the

561
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: best case possible. Okay, the best case possible. Why Speaker Pelosi,

562
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: if it's not me, it's not a means to an end.

563
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 1: She seems to suggest, unless you have a really strong case, okay,

564
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: and if she has that really strong case, which some

565
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: Democrats say they already do, and Pelosi, I'm sure tomorrow

566
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: will say, well, our case is really strong, but we

567
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: still have to wait to see if we can make

568
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: it stronger. It's the strongest case ever. But let's let's

569
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: drag this process out and drag her feet on a

570
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: little more to see if it could be the even stronger,

571
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: strongest case Ever's this is babel, it's babel babbling from Pelosi.

572
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: It's not a surprise. But also, there's not going to

573
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,479
Speaker 1: be removal of the president from office. That's not going

574
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: to happen. That's not a part of this. Right. We

575
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: all know that the Republicans in the Senate are not

576
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: gonna go along. I'm gonna have a two thirds majority.

577
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have a I don't believe you have. Well,

578
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: I hope you wouldn't have a single Republican senator vote

579
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: for removal from office. It'll be a straight party line

580
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: vote from the Democrats. So there is no means to

581
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: an end here, no matter what the whole purpose of

582
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: impeachment and the reason Democrats are talking about it so

583
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: much is because of the optics. It's because of the

584
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: narrative going into the reelection. So who doesn't really understand

585
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: what's happening here, Pelosi are the people that she seems

586
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: to think are too dumb to understand what's happening. They

587
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: want the president of peach so that they can say

588
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: the president was impeached. Impeached is bad. Impeached is a

589
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: mark of disapproval, but it's a political process. It's a

590
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: political check on the president, but a purely partisan impeachment

591
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: that does not result in removal from office. The Democrats

592
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: could get that anytime they want. They could just do it.

593
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: Any majority could impeach any president if they really chose

594
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: to do it. It doesn't it doesn't have meaning beyond that,

595
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: So there will never be a means to an end

596
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: the president is. I don't think anybody believes realistically going

597
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: to be moved or removed from office by the Senate

598
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: a two thirds majority, never mind the fact that the

599
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: Republicans thankfully have a narrow Senate majority right now. So

600
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: what is all this about. It's just power politics playing

601
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: out in front of us. All It's the insanity of

602
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party inflicting itself on the nation once again,

603
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: trying to flail about for some way of evening the odds,

604
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: because they have to do the more savvy ones, and

605
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: Pelosi has air savvy or moments. The more savvy Democrat

606
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: operators here have to know that none of these candidates

607
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: right now that they're putting up have a have a

608
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: prayer of defeating Donald Trump unless they can try to

609
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: stack the deck for their side. And maybe they think

610
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: impeachment is just that Buck Sextons decoding the news and

611
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American, You're

612
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show.

613
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: CIA analysts another battle in the free speech wars unfolding today,

614
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: this one involving mister Stephen Crowder, who I've done his

615
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: show a couple times in the past. Stephen is a conservative,

616
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: is built a very large following on YouTube. He's one

617
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: of the kind of early I think. I can't think

618
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: of many conservatives who became YouTubers earlier than Stephen. He

619
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: got into that game early on and has rightly benefited

620
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: from that foresight. I know Steven's content have been I've

621
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: been a guest on his show. I can't say that

622
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: I know all of his content, all the things that

623
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: he said. I mean, that would be crazy, right. He's

624
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: done probably thousands of shows over the years, but YouTube

625
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: is a major platform for him. And guess what social

626
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: justice warriors want him gone. They want him off deep

627
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: platformed speech equals violence. Oh my gosh, Stephen Crowder is

628
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: so scary. We have to get him kicked off the platform.

629
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: That's where we are right now. And there had been

630
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: a rumblings for the last I'd say the last couple

631
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: of days of how they There was a review going

632
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: on of Crowder, a review going on of whether YouTube

633
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: would kick him off entirely. Yeah, and initially, and this

634
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: was started also because of a I'm trying to remember

635
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: this guy's name. He's from Vox, which is really the

636
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: most left wing, smarmy, whiny, beta male organization in media

637
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: that I'm aware of. I mean, just very a lot

638
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: of sort of pajama boys style, you know, just whiny

639
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 1: nonsense from Vox, and they're among Vox is almost like parody.

640
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: You read it and you think that really can't be

641
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: the article, is it? I mean, I can't do a

642
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: good job right now at the top of my head

643
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 1: of coming up with some of the things that Vox

644
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: will write. But you know, do do Disney cartoons all

645
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: perpetuate the white patriarchy in society? You know, they'll they'll

646
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: write things like that all the time. I mean, they

647
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: think that's really helpful for society. You know, they're also

648
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 1: a big, big proponents at Vox if there's no such

649
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: thing as a non political or non politicized space, and

650
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: so they take it upon themselves to pollute everything with

651
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: their far left politics. You know, Ezra Kleine was I

652
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: think it was a senior person over at Vox, for example,

653
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: and he's he's someone who if you really want to

654
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 1: take the measure of him, just listen to the debate

655
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: that he had with Sam Harris sometime go on Sam

656
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: Harris's podcast, where you just picked up that Klein was

657
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: a a very smarmy, self righteous and intellectually dishonest individual.

658
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 1: That was what I took from listening to Sam Harris

659
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: and as Recline go back and forth on the This

660
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: was maybe at least a year ago now, I think.

661
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: But YouTube was looking at Stephen Crowder because of a

662
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: car I believe Carlos Maza, who works at Vox, who

663
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: has tweeted out things like since I started work in Vox,

664
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: Stephen Crowder has been making video after a video debunking

665
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: strike Through. Every single video has included repeated over at

666
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: tax on my sexual orientation and ethnicity, and so he

667
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: had he's complaining, essentially saying that that Crowder, this Vox

668
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: writer says a Crowder is is being anti Hispanic and

669
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: anti gay in making fun of Carlos Maza, whom I

670
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: had never heard about until this controversy. But I feel

671
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: like I probably could guess a lot of his political

672
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: leanings and all that he works for Vox. I mean

673
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: it's basically a COMI I mean, if you work for Vox,

674
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: you're you're to the left of Bernie Sanders, if that's

675
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: even possible, if there's any room on the spectrum to the

676
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: the left of Bernie Sanders, if you work in Vox,

677
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: you're pretty much there. So they went after Crowder, and

678
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: Crowder is, look, he's a you know, I gave Steven's

679
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: always been a very very nice to me when I've

680
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: done a show. I gave him credit for being a

681
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: conservative pioneer on YouTube, somebody who was early among on

682
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: the right to use YouTube as a platform, and they

683
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: want to make it he's a great person for the

684
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: left or trying to make an example of because if

685
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: enough conservatives grow large followings on YouTube, well then it

686
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: becomes a place where we have real clout and where

687
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: we can go and it's an alternative to the current

688
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: valkanization that's happening in the digital space on you know,

689
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: with some of these other channels that are out there

690
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 1: that well is this you know, is this going to work?

691
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: Is this going to be a real going concern for

692
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: conservatives stretching for a while, or is it going to

693
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: fold anyway? They put this out there for Crowder that

694
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: they were looking at his stuff, and YouTube came back

695
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: and said, I'm trying to find the actual statement here.

696
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: After Maza's complaint, here we go, Here we go, YouTube

697
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: yesterday said quote, our team spent the last few days

698
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: conducting an in depth review of the videos flagged to us,

699
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: and while we found foul language that was clearly hurtful.

700
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, the videos as posted don't violate our policies

701
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: as an open platform. It's crucial for us to allow

702
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: everyone from creators, a journalist to late night TV host

703
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: to express their opinions within the scope of our policies.

704
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: Opinions can be deeply offensive, but if they don't violate

705
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: our policies, they'll remain on our site. And quote, Now,

706
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: I this is really I think, if they're being honest

707
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: about this, this would be if applied in good faith,

708
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 1: that there are rules, and if you don't violate the rules,

709
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: you stay on the platform, even if it makes people

710
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 1: sad on the inside, even if it gives them hurt

711
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: feelings lots of tears. If you don't break clearly defined,

712
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: universally applicable rules on the platform, you don't get kicked

713
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: off the platform. That's from the perspective of what we

714
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: could hope for with Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, any of these

715
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: things Google which owns YouTube, or Alphabet is the parent

716
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: company which owns Google, which owns YouTube. That's the best

717
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: that we can hope for. But continued pressure from Vox

718
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: and other sites, and the left has a much bigger

719
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: megaphone to the heads of Silicon Value than we do

720
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: on the right. They did not let up the pressure

721
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: after this, and they took action against Crowder. Anyway, Oh, Okay,

722
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: so what do they do. They didn't kick him off

723
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: the platform entirely, but they de monetized him. They demonetize him.

724
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: So now, okay, you can still be on YouTube, but

725
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: you just can't use YouTube in a professional capacity to

726
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: make money. You can't use this as something that you

727
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: can partner with YouTube as a content creator for monetization.

728
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: And here's what YouTube said about this update on our

729
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: continued review. We have suspended this channel's monetization. Speaking a

730
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: Crowder's channel, we came to this decision because a pattern

731
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: of egregious actions has harmed the broader community and is

732
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: against our YouTube partner program policies. What the heck does

733
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: that mean? Harmed the broader community? Is that code for

734
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: things libs don't like, things the vox commies get upset,

735
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: get a little sad about. I couldn't even tell you

736
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: harmed the broader community. How is it a violation or

737
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: the rules or not? You see what happened here was

738
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: you had a high profile test of whether or not

739
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: YouTube engages in anti conservative viewpoint discrimination. And I'm not,

740
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, or I'm

741
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: passing no judgment on the specifics of what. First of all,

742
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: I haven't seen or heard what Crawder said. I've seen

743
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: a couple of pull quotes on it, but you know,

744
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if some of the stuff he said

745
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: if I'm not passing judgement on one way or the other.

746
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: But YouTube decided when they looked at this that it

747
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: did not violate any of their rules, and that was

748
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: their judgment. Now a day passes, there's media attention on this.

749
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 1: Clearly the social justice left he is up in arms

750
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: about this decision, and so they come up with the well,

751
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: we'll go with the kind of halfway. We'll split the baby,

752
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: so to speak. Here we will tell Crowder that he

753
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: can stay on the platform, but he has been demonetized,

754
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: so that is taking sanction against him, That is punishing

755
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: him for speech that the left does not like. Now,

756
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: conservatives are all fired up about this, as we should be,

757
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: just as when friends of mine like Raheem Kassam and

758
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelley and others have been summarily suspended from Twitter

759
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: for things that to me or it's a judgment call

760
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: to begin with, but an incredibly poor judgment call based

761
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: on the kind of things they've been suspended from the past,

762
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: we conservatives rally together, but this is going to continue

763
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: on and I can't say that I really, I really

764
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: feel like we have an answer here. This does remind

765
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: me a little bit of the debate that has been

766
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: roiling conservatism and the right for the last week or

767
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: so about Frenchism, and I guess sarab amari Ism. I

768
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: don't know what we really you know, Frenchism pro or

769
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: khnum or four or against and that, and by the way,

770
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 1: and I'm not I don't want to try to dig

771
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: too deep into that one right now, because I'm not

772
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: going to represent to David's satisfaction his point of view

773
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 1: from David French from Nash Review accurately, and I certainly

774
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to represent sarab Amari's point of view

775
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: on this. But in very basic summary, it's you know,

776
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: do you do you have to do what you have

777
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: to do to win if you really believe in and

778
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: if you really believe that there are things that are

779
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 1: important in conservatism that must be implemented and not just

780
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: weight around that hope that one day the other side

781
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: comes to their senses, or do you try to be

782
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: nice and stay within the already agreed power frameworks and

783
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: see if you can just sort of make incremental progress

784
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: toward conservative ents. What do we do with these social

785
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: media platforms? Do we just keep pushing back and saying,

786
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: all right, we know that what you're doing. And this

787
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: is the future of communication, my friends. This is the

788
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: battle that conservatives have been waging a battle against the

789
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: mainstream media since well at least the eighties with Reagan.

790
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: But really, you know, thanks to Rush and some of

791
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: the other big voices out there who gave a voice

792
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: to half of the country, and then the rise of

793
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 1: Fox News starting in nineteen ninety six, the Drudge Report,

794
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 1: which has been a mainstay of my Internet reading since

795
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 1: I was in college. You know, thanks to these alternatives,

796
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: we finally had some balance in the voices in the media.

797
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,720
Speaker 1: But now that you know, the digital world that seemed

798
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: open this up and now it's being closed off again

799
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: because of the dominance of these platforms. These are the

800
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: ways that people get their information online. Now, you know,

801
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: people are not going no one's typing in you know, Patriot, Newscoolstuff,

802
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: dot Com, slash net and persand backslash Patriot. I mean,

803
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: no one's doing that, right, you go. You see what's

804
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: in your Facebook feed, you see what's in your Twitter feed.

805
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: You google a word or two about the news of

806
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: the day, and whatever pops up is what you're going

807
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: to read. So this gives them a massive advantage. And

808
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: who knows how you can even calculate how valuable this

809
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: was for Democrat candidates in the last few elections. You know,

810
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: we're just waking up to this now, We're waking up

811
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: to how pervasive the bias of Silicon Valley is, how

812
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: strongly the left has dominated behind the scenes via algorithms,

813
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: in terms of service and these enforcement procedures. I mean,

814
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 1: here's one idea. If I got suspended, let's say from Twitter,

815
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: who would I even call? What do you even do?

816
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 1: Is there is there a phone number? Can I get

817
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: someone on the phone at Twitter that will explain to

818
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: me what's going on? Not that I'm aware of, there's

819
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: no you know, one eight hundred Twitter. So I get

820
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: to send into some anonymous turn someone anonymous service email

821
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: account and hope that someone is going to give me

822
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: a fair shake. There. You know, I don't even know

823
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: what the answers are to these things. But I also

824
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: don't know how we're supposed to continue to engage with

825
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: these platforms in good faith unless they or believing that

826
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: they're engaging with us in good faith, unless that they

827
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 1: established very clear rules of the road. And in cases

828
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: like this, where it's where it's a close call, or

829
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: rather where it's an important call not a close call,

830
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't go against the conservative somehow. This was a

831
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: real test for YouTube. And you know, there's a major

832
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: effort underway right now to get rid of all kinds

833
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: of content from YouTube, and this was the New York

834
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 1: Times piece. YouTube is removing thousands of videos that push

835
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: quote extreme views now, as is so often the case

836
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: with the debates over censorship and the First Amendment, which

837
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: are some of the most interesting constitutional fights that we've

838
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: had in this country. Where does the First Amendment stop

839
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: and start? What's protected, what's not? And it is it

840
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 1: is an essential freedom, And yes, we need the First Amendment.

841
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we need the Second Amendment to protect the first,

842
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,439
Speaker 1: but we also need the First Amendment to protect the second.

843
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: We need the First Amendment for everything else that's going on.

844
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: Freedom of speech, the liberty to share ideas without prior

845
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: restraint from the government, without punishment from government, entities and

846
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: bodies except in the most clearly defined circumstances, and it's

847
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: easier said than done to clearly define them. This is

848
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: central to our society and it's really one of the

849
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: things that separates us from many other developed countries, not

850
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: just in the West, but around the world, industrialized, wealthy countries.

851
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: We have true freedom of speech. It doesn't really exist

852
00:49:54,239 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: anywhere else. But when you start to see the the

853
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: capacity for digital censorship grow in this way, meaning that

854
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: you know, an algorithm can shift the public conversation about

855
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: an issue, whether it's immigration or healthcare, or which presidential

856
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 1: candidate they can shift behind the scenes, you don't even

857
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: know what's going on. You don't know how they're doing

858
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 1: what they're doing. It's not just like a newspaper that's

859
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: presenting you information. Are you seeing this because it's the

860
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: most relevant search result? Are you seeing it because your

861
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: friends that you agree with want you to see this?

862
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: Why are you being shown these things? Unless we have

863
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: full transparency into that, we're never really going to know

864
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: why we're seeing the information that we are, how it's impacting,

865
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: how it's influencing our view on a whole host of issues.

866
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: And I want to return to this censorship point, because

867
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: that's where this YouTube removing extreme videos. This is something

868
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: we need to watch very very closely because this is

869
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: going to be true across the Internet on all these

870
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: different platforms, and given what we've seen with Crowder, where

871
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 1: they'll find a way to punish you if your conservative ian,

872
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: if you don't break their rules. Think about where that

873
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: could go next and who could be next in this process.

874
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: I'll have more for you on this in just a moment. YouTube. Facebook.

875
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,839
Speaker 1: They dwarf CNN, the New York Times in not just

876
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: the money that they command in the advertising dollars, in

877
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: their ability to elevate and suppress voices. I mean, it's

878
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: not even close. There's been a massive shift in power

879
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: from these old legacy platforms like the New York Times,

880
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: CNN apparatus and the apparat chicks who work for them,

881
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: to these social media platforms. That's that has happened. It

882
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: is reality now and they're much bigger players in this space.

883
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: These digital platforms are the future of communication. I mean

884
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: they're the present and future of communication. And that's why

885
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: when you see things like this from The New York

886
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: Times about them, we should all be on guard and

887
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,720
Speaker 1: not just and then you see what happens with Stephen

888
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: Crow and other conservatives, fellow conservatives in terms of the

889
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: punishments that are meeted out, the suspensions that all of that.

890
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: We got to be ready. This is this is the

891
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: biggest First Amendment fight in terms of free speech, not

892
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: religious liberty. That's other parts of this that we're going

893
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: to have going forward. New York Times Rights here that

894
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: the companies like YouTube have come under intense criticism for

895
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 1: their delayed reaction to this spread of hateful and false content.

896
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: At the same time, President Trump and others argue the

897
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: giant tech platforms censor right wing opinions, and the new

898
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: policies put in place by the companies have inflamed those debates. Yeah, yeah,

899
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: they have. Is what is really hateful and false content?

900
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 1: How could we even engage that? Things like if someone

901
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 1: says abortion as murder? Is that a hateful comment? Because

902
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: I think a lot of you listening would say, well,

903
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: it's hateful to kill babies. So what is hateful content?

904
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: Illegue immigration is bad and I legal immigrants should be

905
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: punished for breaking the law. Is that hateful content? You

906
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: may say, buck, of course not, But if you ask,

907
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: if you asked a room full of people that work

908
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: for Google or people that work for Facebook, is that hateful?

909
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: I think they would say absolutely. You had none other

910
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: than Anderson Cooper himself be rating someone on air because

911
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: Facebook would not take down a video that was essentially

912
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: a parody video of Nancy Pelosi looking like it looking

913
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: like a clown. That's right, take it down. Deep platform it.

914
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: The mentality that you see from the left on college

915
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: campuses has now found its way, not just in a

916
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: peripheral sense, into the most powerful media platforms and in

917
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: the minds of the most powerful media figures on the left.

918
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: It's at the very top of the power structure. You know,

919
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: you have you know Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg and

920
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: the people that run these platforms. They feel the social

921
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: pressure and they have bought in at some level to

922
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: the construct that the left creates here of a need,

923
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: an immediate need to suppress, suppress, and sensor speech. This

924
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: is going to have very negative consequences for us. Do

925
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 1: you able to fight back going forward? If they're able

926
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: to just determine what's hateful, what's fake, they get to

927
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: pull down what's fake. Now, is it that going to

928
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: be interesting, considering that they believe every word out of

929
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's mouth. Donald Trump can say that he had

930
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: a bagel for breakfast and they'll say that it's fake news.

931
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: We're going to let them now determine on these platforms,

932
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: what is the answer. It's gonna have to be government regulation, folks.

933
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna have to be wartime conservatives uniting and take

934
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: an action that a whole lot more show teams stay

935
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: with me this day. Have set upon a mighty endeavor,

936
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: a struggle to preserve our republic, our religion, and our civilization,

937
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: and you set free a suffering humanity. When I attended

938
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: the commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of the D Day landings,

939
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 1: some thought it might be the last such event. But

940
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: the wartime generation, my generation, is resilient, and I'm delighted

941
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: to be with you in Portsmouth today. A lot of

942
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: pomp and circumstance around the President's visit and time with

943
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,919
Speaker 1: the royal family, which one would expect. And now with

944
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: June sixth, the D Day commemoration, right, I know, today's

945
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: June fits or tomorrow's technically the D Day, the day

946
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: of D Day. But while we look at this and

947
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: we find ourselves one. I think first hearkening back to

948
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: the courage of those who were storming those beaches in

949
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: Normandy and what they did, what they put on the line.

950
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: Many gave their lives for this country. Many Brits, many

951
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,959
Speaker 1: Canadians and some others from some other countries as well,

952
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: gave their lives in that effort, and we have a

953
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 1: very special relationship with the with the Brits as a

954
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: result that endures to this day. I mean, it's yes,

955
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: it's true. We have all this cultural similarity and this

956
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 1: connectivity between us and the Brits that stretches back for centuries,

957
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: although not all, not all of the history with Great

958
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: Britain's great we had they did. They did burned down

959
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 1: our White House at one point, right, I mean, there's

960
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: been some bad stuff. They were impressing our sailors for

961
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: a while and we had to we had to beat

962
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 1: them in a revolution. But it's cool. We're friends now.

963
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: We love the Brits. In fact, I saw a poll

964
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: today that said that Americans ninety percent of Americans have

965
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: a favorable view of Great Britain, which is about what

966
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: I would have guessed. And then the ten percent I

967
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: think are just curmudgingly. I don't like anybody, you know,

968
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: probably probably hate you know, Barbados, the Bahamas, Vanuatu and

969
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: other like little island paradises that how could you be

970
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: mad at them? But I'm sure there's there's you can

971
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: find ten percent of people that don't like any issue,

972
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what it is. But this should be a

973
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: day when it's maybe just a little bit out of

974
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: favor to trash Trump. You know, we got the D

975
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: Day commemoration. He is the commander in chief. As I

976
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: was telling you yesterday, I think he gets not nearly enough.

977
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: He gets not nearly enough praise or support or recognition

978
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: for being a commander chief who has stayed his hand

979
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: when the two previous commanders in chief really did not

980
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: in many ways, and I think made some enormous strategic

981
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: errors both Obama and Bush. Trump has not made enormous

982
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: strategic errors on national security, has not put large numbers

983
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: of our troops in harms way unnecessarily. But the the patriotism,

984
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, and the water's edge, that whole, that doesn't

985
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: really you know, that that partisanship stops the water's that

986
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: just that's not really true anymore, is it. We've got

987
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: a president on foreign soil, He's still getting people coming

988
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: after him and every way they can at CNN have

989
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: one of their correspondents. I don't know if this is

990
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: just stretching for stretching for time, or if this is

991
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: trying to just pander to the CNN audience, which is

992
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: psychotically anti Trump, psychotically anti Trump. But here's CNN CNN

993
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,919
Speaker 1: correspondent talking about how maybe Trump wants to be king

994
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: himself play seven. Essentially, there are so few people who

995
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: can seemingly inspire that level of respect, that level of

996
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: deference in President Trump. We don't often see that, but

997
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: as you said, the queen, he's always taking a very

998
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: deferential tone. He seems to have a huge amount of

999
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: respect for the institution of the monarchy. Perhaps he likes

1000
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: the idea of being a king. I would say that's

1001
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: a Freudian slip. But you know, it's just they can't

1002
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: help themselves. She's a correspondence, not a pundit. She's supposed

1003
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: to just be reporting on the president's visit and that

1004
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: he has. You know, these are the are the loops

1005
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: that exist in the minds that there's a kind of

1006
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: playback loop that exists in the minds of many liberals

1007
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: on these issues. And one of the loops is that

1008
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: Trump Trump likes authoritarians, supports authoritarians, wants to work with authoritarians.

1009
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: You know. That's yeah, that's one of the loops. And

1010
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:33,479
Speaker 1: so when when he's meeting with you know, maybe maybe

1011
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: Canada is a closer rally, I don't know. I don't

1012
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: want to get in between our Canadian and British brothers

1013
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: and sisters on this one. I don't know who's technically

1014
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: a close rally the United States. You could make the

1015
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: case out of the way, it's probably Canada. But we

1016
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: love the Brits too, you know, we can't. We can't

1017
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: pick among our children. We love them all equally. But

1018
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: you'd think that here he is showing. You know, they

1019
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: always say he's not presidential. They always say he doesn't

1020
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: give all the due respect, and he says things that

1021
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 1: he shouldn't say. And now he's being respe backfull, not

1022
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: of Putin or Kim Jung un. We know they want

1023
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: to jump on that and say all kinds of things

1024
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: about how, oh, look at what this tells us, and

1025
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: he loves dictators, and all this other stuff. We know that, right,

1026
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: But he's being respectful of the royal family in one

1027
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: of our closest allied countries, and it's indicative in some way,

1028
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: according to the CNN report, everyone and maybe he wants

1029
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: to be king of Trump's monarchical tendencies, of Trump's desire

1030
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: to be an autocrat himself, even though the king in

1031
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: the if there was a king in Great Britain, it

1032
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: would not be a person of any power authority, So

1033
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: why would you want to do that? And I'd be

1034
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: only the bet that Trump has. I don't know what

1035
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: the real funding is for the Royal family in Britain

1036
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: right now, but my sense is that Trump has a

1037
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: whole lot more money and certainly a lot more freedom

1038
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: and what he can do than I think Great Britain does.

1039
01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: You know. Also, they did a little bit of a

1040
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: clear up on the Megan Markel issue. I mean, Trump

1041
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: addressed that again, it was fake news what they did

1042
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: that was being spread around in a way that was

1043
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: meant to just poison the well of media coverage before

1044
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: the president's arrival. He didn't, he didn't go after Megan

1045
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: Markel unnecessarily. He just said he didn't realize she had

1046
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: said something mean and then he said something nice about her.

1047
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: So that was fake news. You know that they want

1048
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: to skip past that, but that was indeed fake news. Uh.

1049
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of fake news, well, I guess it's plagiarism. Isn't

1050
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: really fake news. It's fake thinking. It's falsifying your own

1051
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: ability and thinking so that people believe you know more

1052
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: than you do. Biden's got himself in some trouble. Has

1053
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: to do with a Green New Deal. In the environment.

1054
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: We always hear that Trump administration is it's so terrible

1055
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: from liberals say this, it's so terrible in the environment.

1056
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Trump disagrees with that. Play fifteen. You know, we have

1057
01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: the cleanest air in the world in the United States

1058
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: and gotten better since some president. We have to clete

1059
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 1: this water. It's crystal clean, and I always say I

1060
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: want crystal clean to water in air. And so I

1061
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: haven't heard his comments, but we do have we're setting

1062
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: records environmentally. I think that in part he just says

1063
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: this because he knows that it drives liberals insane. One

1064
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: of the areas there's a the liberal mind really does

1065
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: believe that Republicans, they've been so brainwashed on this issue.

1066
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: They think that Republicans don't care about leading the water

1067
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: real pollutants, not CO two, which is what you and

1068
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: I breathe out. I'm filling the room around me right

1069
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: now with CO two, so are you. It's not a pollutant.

1070
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: But they have come to believe that they are the

1071
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: planet's only hope. That the left, the Green New Deal

1072
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: advocates they're the only hope for saving the world. And

1073
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: that's not an exaggeration. That is how they view this,

1074
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: that they're going to save the world by continuing to

1075
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 1: push with policies that they can't they will never implement themselves,

1076
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 1: will never get through Congress, would be astronomically expensive. But

1077
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: it's really more about the psychological posture of Liberals with

1078
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: this issue than anything else. They believe much more strongly

1079
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 1: in their own greatness, as indicated by their belief in

1080
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal, than anything that has to do

1081
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: with really saving the world. But Trump pointing out that

1082
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good stuff going on with the environment,

1083
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: that we're constantly the EPA has not been destroyed. All

1084
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 1: regulation of the environment is not you know, has not

1085
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: gone by the wayside. This drives them insane. This is

1086
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: a great way of trolling them, because they true believers

1087
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: on the left insist, and I've come across them. They

1088
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: really do think that you and I, those of us

1089
01:03:53,720 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: who are conservative have no interest or care whatsoever for

1090
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 1: the environment, for conservation and for the world around us.

1091
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: What do they base this on, It's not clear climate

1092
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 1: change skepticism, or rather skepticism of the catastrophic implications of

1093
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: climate change. Even though we can point to the same

1094
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: projections about climate change stretching back for decades being wrong,

1095
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 1: We're still supposed to believe that the people who were

1096
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: wrong are going to be right the next time. But

1097
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: Biden is trying to make some headway with the left

1098
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: on the Green New Deal long climate change, and he

1099
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: ran into a little trouble because he borrowed from some

1100
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: other some other places in his announcement for his own plan.

1101
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: So we will get into that. We all saw about

1102
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders and socialism. It's gonna be fun stick around.

1103
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: It's shameful the way we treat it Puerto Rico in

1104
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 1: the Islands. I'm not even sure people in the Presence

1105
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: administration knew Puerto Ricans are all citizens. No, I'm not,

1106
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm not joking. And so there was this notion that somehow,

1107
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: why should we have to make and invest that kind

1108
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: of money in dealing with what is a genuine existential crisis.

1109
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:13,479
Speaker 1: An existential crisis, he says, after taking a shot at

1110
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: at Puerto Rico. Let me tell you that that's Joe

1111
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: Biden who's got his own He's got his own problems.

1112
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 1: This week that the Trump administration has sent billions and

1113
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: billions of dollars in disaster relief to to Puerto Rico.

1114
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: And while Biden is going to sit there and tell

1115
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 1: us all that this is that, you know, he's making

1116
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: fun of them, that making fun of Trump, that his

1117
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: people on administration don't know that Puerto Ricans are citizens.

1118
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 1: I would just note that I spoke to the governor

1119
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: of Puerto Rico about this issue, and I said, are

1120
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: you getting sufficient this? I interviewed him and I said,

1121
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: are you getting sufficient funds? Are is the government response?

1122
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: The federal government response strong? And he said yes. Now

1123
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: there are some issues that should be addressed. One is

1124
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,439
Speaker 1: the Jones Act, which is an outdated and really kind

1125
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: of really somewhat bizarre statute that says that you know,

1126
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 1: if a ship leaves. I mean, I can't remember the

1127
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 1: specificsm it now, but it has to You can't just

1128
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: send a ship from the US to Puerto Rico. It

1129
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: has to come from some or a foreign ship has

1130
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: to go to a US port first before it goes

1131
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: to Puerto Rico. I forget that, but it just means

1132
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 1: that the price of goods is much higher. It also

1133
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: was an issue for the relief efforts initially. But you

1134
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: can tell that that Biden is not going to be

1135
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 1: a stickler for accuracy, because why should he be. They're

1136
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna prop him up and say he's great

1137
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: no matter what. They're gonna do what they always do,

1138
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: which is skip over any inconsistency, any inaccuracy that Biden

1139
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: puts forward, and as long as it's negative for Trump,

1140
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 1: they will find a way. They'll find a way to

1141
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: make it sound like Biden's more or less on more

1142
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: or less on track. But he does have a little

1143
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: problem that came up, and this is actually from CNN

1144
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: where Biden once again has a plagiarism issue. This is

1145
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: the democrats number one candidate. This guy a month ago

1146
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: had a sniffing, kissing tops of heads being super inappropriate

1147
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: and weird issue, which you'll note Democrats even to meet

1148
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: you era not a problem for them. They think he's

1149
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: the most electable, so they'll they'll just skip past all that.

1150
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 1: But CNN's John King he was displeased with Biden for

1151
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: h this problem that should not have been place sixteen.

1152
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 1: This is a pretty amateur mistake for the front runners

1153
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: campaign to make on a substantial policy rollout when they

1154
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: had to know when Team Biden got together planning to

1155
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: announce his campaign. The one thing they cannot do is

1156
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 1: plagiaris it's lazy, or it's arrogant. And let me flip

1157
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 1: the thing. You would think he would be happy to

1158
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: quote progressive groups on his website as they are. They're

1159
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: attacking great embrace. This is i'll call this a style issue.

1160
01:07:58,080 --> 01:07:59,919
Speaker 1: All this is a leadership issue. This is a comp

1161
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: this issue he wants to be present in that states.

1162
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: This is a leadership and competence issue. You can't do

1163
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: this stuff. You just can't. You do it in our business,

1164
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: you get fire. Donald Trump tweeted out plagiarism charge against

1165
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: sleepy Joe Biden on his ridiculous climate change plan is

1166
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: a big problem. But the corrupt media will save him.

1167
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: That's true. His other problem is that he is drawing flies,

1168
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 1: not people to his rallies. Nobody is showing up, I

1169
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 1: mean nobody. You can't win without people. Is this comes

1170
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:35,839
Speaker 1: from Republican National The RNC has been going after Biden

1171
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 1: on this too. The RNC Steve Guests tweeted during his

1172
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight campaign, Biden plagiarized campaign speeches from British

1173
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 1: Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock as well as Robert Kennedy.

1174
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 1: During law school, Biden plagiarized too. Likes to plagiarize. This

1175
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: is an issue. I would just point out that there

1176
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: was there was a a member of the incoming administration

1177
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 1: of the Trump campaign who the left wing media was

1178
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: actually CNN went after her for a twenty year old

1179
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: plagiarism issue and cause huge problems for her unfairly, and

1180
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: this was used to sink an incoming administration official. This

1181
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 1: is not going to sing Biden though, because they're gonna

1182
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: just skip past it. They're gonna say, they're gonna say

1183
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: that this was It's fine. You know, they'll they'll allow it.

1184
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: The groups that he plagiarized from will say no, no,

1185
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 1: even without without giving us official permission, we will give

1186
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:43,759
Speaker 1: retroactive permission to Joe Biden to steal our stuff. Biden

1187
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: has said some other really interesting stuff, by the way.

1188
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's going really hard here on climate because

1189
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 1: he's trying to find a way to look relevant and

1190
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: authentic to the left wing base, because he needs he's

1191
01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:58,640
Speaker 1: going to need the base to support him if he's

1192
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:00,760
Speaker 1: gonna beat all these other candidates, be enough just for

1193
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: the the establishment of DC, the swamp, the media to

1194
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: be with him. He's going to need grassroots activists on

1195
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: the left to give him at least some support in

1196
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:15,560
Speaker 1: this process. But you know, the Daily Caller News Foundation

1197
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: has looked at a few parts of this report that

1198
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 1: are problematic. Then remember this is Biden's climate change call

1199
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 1: to arms. Not quite as crazy as Elizabeth Warren, who

1200
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: says that it might be a greater challenge than World

1201
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: War two, but you know, is saying that this is

1202
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: something that we have to deal with. Aviation, according to

1203
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 1: the Biden platform that was released on this accounts for

1204
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 1: nearly two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, and that

1205
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 1: portion is expected to increase. Unfortunately, today, a few low

1206
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: carbon technologies or fuels have been developed to tackle this challenge.

1207
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: The liberal website Vox in January used language that is

1208
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: similar to this, right. I mean, these are the different

1209
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: the different areas where he just sort of took this.

1210
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's a staffer. I'm sure it's a staffer

1211
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 1: who pulled this stuff together. What's more, it's gonna be

1212
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 1: than anything else, is just the way that Biden is

1213
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 1: going to skate. He's gonna skate on this because he's

1214
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: gonna skate on everything. It's gonna be Hillary all over again.

1215
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: They think that he is the electable one, and so

1216
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 1: he's the one that they will do everything they can

1217
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:24,679
Speaker 1: to knock all barriers down in favor of. They're gonna

1218
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: do whatever they have to to try to help this guy,

1219
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 1: and they're gonna need to do a lot. He's he's

1220
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: not a formidable candidate against Donald Trump. He's not. I

1221
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: still believe that Bernie Sanders as as crazy as it says.

1222
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about crazy Bernie and the Soviet Union

1223
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: in a minute. I still think that Bernie Sanders is

1224
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:46,480
Speaker 1: a bigger problem than Joe Biden if he gets the nomination. Obviously,

1225
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:52,639
Speaker 1: Soviet Union was in authoritarian society with no democratic rights.

1226
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 1: And I think if you know history, you'll know that

1227
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 1: democratic socialists stood up and fought against that. You can

1228
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: look about what existed in the Soviet Union in Venezuela.

1229
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:06,719
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm talking about. Wait a second, why

1230
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: is Bernie Sanders and Bernie Sanders there is talking about

1231
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,440
Speaker 1: how the Soviet Union is not a good example of sellers.

1232
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 1: He can't look at that. Let's not forget that Bernie

1233
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 1: wasn't some big critic of Soviet socialism. He went there

1234
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:23,759
Speaker 1: on his honeymoon. Bernie went to the Soviet Union on

1235
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: his honeymoon. A bizarre choice. If nothing else, just think

1236
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: about the food. I mean, how much borsht can one

1237
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: man have on his honeymoon before he wants something else.

1238
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:36,799
Speaker 1: And he was there back in what was the eighties,

1239
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 1: so I can't imagine what that was really like. But

1240
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: he and he came back and with his wife. I've

1241
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: played the audio for you before on the show. He

1242
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: was defending what he saw there. In fact, he was

1243
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: glorifying some of what he saw there. It's kind of

1244
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 1: a modern day you know, Walter Duranti, remember the guy

1245
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 1: from it was that the new York Times of Chicago Tribune.

1246
01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 1: I think it was the New York Times who went

1247
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: over there and didn't want to talk about or didn't

1248
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 1: want to report on the famine in Ukraine, which was

1249
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 1: a forced famine. It was an intentional government policy. These

1250
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 1: people would have no food, they would starve. So I

1251
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 1: believe it's called the Holadamar by the Ukrainians, but I

1252
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 1: might have that wrong. There's a Ukrainian holocaust through the

1253
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: famine that the Soviet Union pushed on them, pushed on Ukraine.

1254
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:28,680
Speaker 1: But Bernie is somebody who came back saying nice things

1255
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 1: about the Soviet Union as an adult, and as an

1256
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 1: adult who chose to travel there, So that may bring

1257
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: us to all one. He's not honest about his past

1258
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 1: with socialism, which is not surprising at all. But then

1259
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: there's also how is it that socialism is still gaining

1260
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 1: in popularity in this country at a time when you

1261
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 1: would think, given the internet access, we have what's happening

1262
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: in Venezuela. Oh, and they all pretend like Venezuela is

1263
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: not a place that any of them would have ever

1264
01:13:55,840 --> 01:14:00,080
Speaker 1: said anything nice about. That's not true. Venezuela is a

1265
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: country that, as recently as twenty twelve, you could find

1266
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: supportive editorials in the New York Times the Washington Post

1267
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 1: about what Chavez was trying to accomplish in that country.

1268
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: They didn't have results really to point to, but they're saying,

1269
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's on the right track, trying the

1270
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,680
Speaker 1: right things, doing what he can here. He's doing his

1271
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: best to make sure that there's going to be, you know,

1272
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 1: there's going to be a more equitable society in Venezuela.

1273
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 1: But one of the reasons that I think it's becoming

1274
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 1: more popular is that you're one that the media is

1275
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: largely supportive of this. Just as during the Soviet Union's era,

1276
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 1: there were a lot of people in academia and the

1277
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,720
Speaker 1: media in this country who liked the idea of the

1278
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 1: Soviet I'm not talking about fellow travelers and actual communist penetrations,

1279
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 1: which we did have here and is still a part

1280
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: of our history that is completely whitewashed by the left.

1281
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 1: If you have not read Whittaker Chambers Witness, please please

1282
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 1: read that book. There are many others that I would

1283
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 1: blacklisted by history is great. There's there's a lot of

1284
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 1: that's about McCarthy. There's the Venona Project. There's books about

1285
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 1: the Nona that you should read. It's all about the

1286
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 1: penetrations the Soviet Union had of this country. The KGB

1287
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: archives that were released as the metrok and archives, you know,

1288
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 1: the Sword of the Shield about the KGB. Highly recommend

1289
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: that book. It'll tell you one the extent of the

1290
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 1: operations against us at the hands of the Soviet Union,

1291
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: but it'll also tell you about how the KGB and

1292
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: the Communist Party were much closer to at some point

1293
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 1: going to maybe open war with us than a lot

1294
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: of people realize. They were really thinking about it. They

1295
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: were they thought we were going to have a first

1296
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: strike on them, so they were really considering a first

1297
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 1: strike on us. There's some scary stuff in those archives.

1298
01:15:56,360 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 1: But why why would anybody not understand the lessons that

1299
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,520
Speaker 1: have been learned here? Man? How is it really possible

1300
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 1: that in this at this stage of the game, there

1301
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 1: would be such a lack of understanding of the truth

1302
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,679
Speaker 1: of socialism? Well, you know the Daily the Daily Show,

1303
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 1: which is a straight up propaganda show with jokes, so

1304
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 1: sometimes there's funny stuff, but it's it's political propaganda in

1305
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: joke form. I did this man on the street kid

1306
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 1: asking people about socialism, and I mean, here's what they said,

1307
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 1: play club eleven. I think socialism is great. I think

1308
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 1: you should definitely help whoever you could at any situation

1309
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 1: for socialism just design to anything that's helping black people out. Okay,

1310
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:47,759
Speaker 1: so your socialism curious? In college? Do you hate billionaires? Bokey? Yeah.

1311
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 1: You look at Jeff Basis, he doesn't look human. I mean,

1312
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: I think the socialism is one point. I mean I

1313
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: don't really know what socialism now. I know you said Buck,

1314
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: this isn't a scientific poll. There's a there's a bunch

1315
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 1: of college kids. What do they really know. Well, all

1316
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 1: the polling that we see right now, I mean, if

1317
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 1: you want to talk about scientific polls, shows that there

1318
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: is a pretty dramatic increase in support for socialism overall,

1319
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:18,639
Speaker 1: that that people do believe in socialism, they do believe

1320
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: that it's something that we should consider more as a country,

1321
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,679
Speaker 1: and it's getting close to I think fifty percent support

1322
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:27,040
Speaker 1: among millennials that have to check the most recent polling.

1323
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:29,160
Speaker 1: But part of it is that they don't know what

1324
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 1: it is. They don't really understand that what you have,

1325
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: for example, in and I used to joke around that

1326
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is running for the mayor of Stockholm. That's

1327
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 1: not really fair to Stockholm. Stockholm is Sweden. Obviously Stockholm

1328
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: is a major city. There is a country that has

1329
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: a pretty free market economy. It just has very high

1330
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:53,160
Speaker 1: tax rates in a very large social welfare state. But

1331
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 1: it's not a socialist country. It's not meaningfully socialist in

1332
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 1: many ways. It does not have government called the means

1333
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 1: of production. It's not all state industries. It used to

1334
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 1: be along it used to be back in the seventies.

1335
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:13,600
Speaker 1: But the designation of these as socialist countries is not accurate.

1336
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: Venezuela is much closer to a socialist country. And we're

1337
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 1: really looking at this Venezuela where the government was controlling prices.

1338
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: And as I've said to you, the price control mechanism

1339
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 1: was one of the reasons that Venezuela failed so rapidly

1340
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: and so miserably, because sure, as night follows day, you

1341
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: control prices on based on a social justice platform of oh,

1342
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: these guys are the greedy capitalists are taking too much

1343
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 1: money from you with their price. Now the price is lower, well,

1344
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 1: then guess what the price is the price because that's

1345
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 1: what the market price was, So then you create a

1346
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: black market for things, and then people stop making things

1347
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 1: for the open market, and then the open market starts

1348
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 1: to collapse because people can't buy the things that they're

1349
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 1: trying to that they want to buy, and the producers

1350
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: can't make them because the prices are wrong. And then

1351
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 1: the government would step in Venezuela and say, well, now

1352
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 1: we control the factory because you're not making, you know,

1353
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: widgets cheaply enough for the Venezuelan people. We're gonna take

1354
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,679
Speaker 1: over your widget factory and we're gonna be the ones

1355
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 1: running it and telling people, oh, do you think that

1356
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 1: works out well? And so on and so forth. And

1357
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 1: that's how you have the country with the largest proven

1358
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: oil reserves in the world in his state of complete

1359
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:26,680
Speaker 1: economic and financial despair. Though I'll note that Maduro is

1360
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:29,640
Speaker 1: still hanging on. I've been worried all along that this

1361
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: guy was going to find some way to cling to power,

1362
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,639
Speaker 1: and that's exactly where we are. He is, in fact,

1363
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 1: clinging to power. But kids should at least know that

1364
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: the programs that we're talking about in this country, that

1365
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 1: the things that are under discussion, what is socialism and

1366
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: what's not. They should be able to distinguish that. And

1367
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 1: you know, medicare for all is not in and of

1368
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:57,839
Speaker 1: itself socialism. It is closer and closer though to socialized medicine.

1369
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 1: It'll put us on a path through socialized medicine. I mean,

1370
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: they need to know that. But if all it is

1371
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,759
Speaker 1: is helping people, doing nice things for poor people, spreading

1372
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 1: money around from rich people, which is what the common

1373
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: conception among millennials and gen z currently is, then social

1374
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 1: is gonna keeping popular. Basically, they don't know what it is.

1375
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,639
Speaker 1: The relevance of this dossier is that it was used

1376
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 1: in one FISA application for carter Page. Carter Page is

1377
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 1: one individual in this entire Russia investigation. So I just

1378
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 1: want to point out that this is like one thread.

1379
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 1: The question is which piece of the dossier did they

1380
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 1: rely on. I can tell you that they didn't staple

1381
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,720
Speaker 1: the dossier to a cover letter and hand it to

1382
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 1: the court, and was it corroborated? And I think we

1383
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 1: don't know the answers to that questions to those questions

1384
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 1: yet because most of it has been redacted, and the

1385
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 1: IG report should shed more light on those. So that's

1386
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 1: one of the premier defenders of the upper echelon management

1387
01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: of the FBI that engaged in the deep state coup

1388
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:02,600
Speaker 1: against empty deep state coup against the president. You know,

1389
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: that's one of the uh the the foremost bad experts

1390
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: and analysts over at seeing an Asher rang Gappa, who

1391
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 1: was at FBI for you know a long time, and

1392
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 1: she's been a mainstay. It's been her. This guy Mud

1393
01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: who's just completely lost his mind. I actually have met

1394
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: him a couple of times and he seemed normal. But

1395
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:24,759
Speaker 1: Trump has broken him like he's broken many other people.

1396
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: There's Rangappa, there's Pajama, the FBI Pajama Boy. I don't

1397
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:30,759
Speaker 1: remember his name, but you know who I'm talking about,

1398
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 1: the one that looks like pajama boy and he comes on.

1399
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: He's like James Coomey's number one, number one fan. And

1400
01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: what they do now is they keep on either just

1401
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 1: getting things entirely wrong, which rung Gappa did here. The

1402
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: dossier was not used in one FIES application. It was

1403
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 1: used in from what we've already seen for once been released,

1404
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:52,640
Speaker 1: it has been using all of the fives applications. It

1405
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 1: was cited again and again for the extensions. So if

1406
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,560
Speaker 1: they had more information, if there was more stuff. You

1407
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 1: would think that they wouldn't have to rely on what

1408
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,639
Speaker 1: we now know. And this is not some spin, This

1409
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:07,759
Speaker 1: is not some effort to describe it in a way

1410
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 1: that is inaccurate. It was opposition research paid for by

1411
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 1: the DNC relying on foreign on a foreign intelligence former

1412
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 1: foreign intelligence operative, Christopher Steele, who relied on foreign sources

1413
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 1: of information. I've still never gotten an answer to the question,

1414
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: why is it that the meeting that Vezelnisky at Trump

1415
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 1: Tower had with Donald Trump Junior and Mana Ford and

1416
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 1: Jared Cohen. Why was that meeting evidence of some kind

1417
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 1: of treason. It's horrible, It's terrible. He's never start taken

1418
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 1: that meeting. And because it would have been information from

1419
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 1: a foreigner, that's all. It is information from a foreigner

1420
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 1: about Hillary Clinton and the Clinton DNC paid a foreigner

1421
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 1: to get information from other foreigners. And that's okay. No

1422
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,720
Speaker 1: one has ever explained that to me. You know, they say, oh, well,

1423
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele, he's highly respected. Really, we're I know, now

1424
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 1: we're going to get Steel testifying. That's the ladies. He

1425
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 1: can testify. I gotta see if it's behind what the

1426
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 1: what the specifics of the parameters of the testament, you're

1427
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 1: going to be But Christopher Steele is going to be testifying,

1428
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:20,639
Speaker 1: and we have to find out, okay, well who told

1429
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 1: him on and when we have to get him under oath.

1430
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: I wonder if if he is found to lie about

1431
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: any of this stuff, do you think that they will

1432
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 1: they will prosecute him. Do you think that there's really

1433
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: any realistic possibility that they will hold him accountable if

1434
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: he engages in any kind of falsehood up there? No,

1435
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 1: of course not. Just like how Tony Podesta, John Podesta's brother,

1436
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:48,160
Speaker 1: for his foreign engagements and working for foreign governments, is

1437
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: going to find himself in no trouble whatsoever. You know,

1438
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 1: he's not going to get in trouble for what he

1439
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 1: did because we have a two tiered justice system. But

1440
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 1: but back to this miss Rangappa, who has once or

1441
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: twice crossords with me on Twitter in the past, so

1442
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 1: we've I've never met her, but she is she's in

1443
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: a sense remarkable because in a crowded field of clownery,

1444
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: Miss Rangapa at CNN as their national security analyst is

1445
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: among the most consistently and spectacularly wrong analysts that have

1446
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 1: been on this issue. Period. She has managed to be

1447
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 1: completely off based time and again. But CNN never holds

1448
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:35,480
Speaker 1: anyone to account for this because the purpose of their analysts,

1449
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,879
Speaker 1: and this is very important, The purpose of the CNN

1450
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 1: National security analyst are going on TV is not to

1451
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: tell you things that are true, is not to tell

1452
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: you things that are accurate. It is to promote a

1453
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:51,840
Speaker 1: narrative that is pleasing to CNN's audience. Despite the fact

1454
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:54,679
Speaker 1: that now they've had a think an eighteen percent drop

1455
01:24:55,479 --> 01:25:00,800
Speaker 1: in their ratings, they have a narrative they're trying to push.

1456
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:05,719
Speaker 1: This is I believe very personal for CNN top management.

1457
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,919
Speaker 1: I think that Zucker views his role now is engaging

1458
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 1: in a kind of massive feud with Trump, and it's

1459
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,680
Speaker 1: Trump versus Zucker at some level. And this has been

1460
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 1: personalized in a way that if I were still an

1461
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 1: employee of CNN, which I am certainly not, I would

1462
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 1: find wholly inappropriate and bothersome But being wrong is never

1463
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 1: an issue at cnit See That's what I'm really getting

1464
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: at here. I mean, what NAPA said is just factually incorrect.

1465
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: Did you think they're going to issue a correction? Maybe

1466
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: they'll put it in like the website and no one's

1467
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 1: gonna see it, and no one's gonna care. It doesn't

1468
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:42,240
Speaker 1: matter though, And the other part of this that I

1469
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 1: find so interesting is that you have these former national

1470
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: security people, people from my old community in one way

1471
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: or another, like Rongappa, CNN, Pajama Boy and Phil mud

1472
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 1: who I know people that like Phil and say he's

1473
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 1: a good guy. So I don't know what's and I'm

1474
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 1: probably being much more charitable about him than he would

1475
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 1: be about me, which is fine, But I don't know

1476
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:06,600
Speaker 1: what's happened to him. But in the Trump era, you know,

1477
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: he's the one that was yelling about the blank whole countries,

1478
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: and you know, he's from a blank whole country. I

1479
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 1: think he's Irish, so you know, it's not a very

1480
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 1: nice thing to say about Ireland. But you know, you

1481
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:20,479
Speaker 1: look at this and you see that there's there's a

1482
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 1: a fallback position for a lot of these individuals that well,

1483
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 1: the FISA Court had a process with judges signing off

1484
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 1: on stuff, so it's okay. This is never the position

1485
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 1: of the left on any other matter of national security interest.

1486
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: This is never the position of the left that because

1487
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:41,600
Speaker 1: there's a there are some internal checks and balances, no

1488
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 1: external watchdogs, A secret government process to spy on people

1489
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,280
Speaker 1: is just fine and just fine and dandy. Oh, but

1490
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 1: there was somebody signing off on it. Really, so was

1491
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 1: the left okay with there's somebody signing off on drone strikes,

1492
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,760
Speaker 1: so then the drone strikes must just be fine. Well,

1493
01:26:58,040 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 1: they were fine when Obama was doing them, but before

1494
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 1: or that, that was of course, that was not fine.

1495
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 1: They changed their mind on these things based very much

1496
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 1: on who the individual, Who the individual is, who's making

1497
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: the calls, and that's what you have with all these

1498
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: institutionalists on the payroll at CNA. They're defending the process

1499
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: because the process was used at the FBI and the

1500
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 1: DOJ to get at Trump, the Inspector General port As

1501
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 1: I keep saying, it is going to come out. There

1502
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: are going to be people who look very very bad

1503
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 1: and look stupid. I don't know if there's going to

1504
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 1: be any accountability in government. I'm not sure there will be.

1505
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 1: I don't want to overpromise to you and tell you

1506
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,559
Speaker 1: that I really believe at this point that those at

1507
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 1: the FBI who stepped out of line, who abused their authority,

1508
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: who abused their power, will be held to account because

1509
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,439
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that that is true. In fact, I

1510
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 1: doubt very much that that is true. And I can

1511
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,559
Speaker 1: also tell you that the people that have been getting

1512
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 1: paid to run around and be mouthpieces for the Russia

1513
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: collusion delusion for a long time here, those people will

1514
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 1: also not be punished by the media apparatus because they

1515
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: weren't being paid to go on TV and be smart

1516
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,719
Speaker 1: and be right. They were paid to give a kind

1517
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: of believability, to create of a near of respectability of

1518
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: what was a conspiracy theory. And as you know, the

1519
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:25,640
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory was that President Donald Trump worked with the

1520
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:31,040
Speaker 1: Russians to undermine our election, steal the election from Hillary Clinton.

1521
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 1: It's crazy and it needs to keep being set out

1522
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:37,680
Speaker 1: loud because it's so crazy. Rangappa and others over there,

1523
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 1: they're part of the Well, it didn't matter that we

1524
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: were wrong, because now let's move to oh that, now,

1525
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: let's move to obstruction. The process was weaponized against Trump

1526
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 1: to create the conspiracy theory of Russia collusion, and now

1527
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 1: the process of the process, meaning the investigation of the

1528
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:01,960
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory that's being weaponized against Trump. It's it's never enough,

1529
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 1: that never will be enough because it also was never

1530
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:07,760
Speaker 1: really about the truth. And once that's established, and once

1531
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,800
Speaker 1: we understand that, then everything else really makes sense and

1532
01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:14,040
Speaker 1: falls into place. I saw some story here about Los Angeles.

1533
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 1: You know, I spend some time reason I like I

1534
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 1: like LA to visit. I don't know, I don't know

1535
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:21,120
Speaker 1: if I could live there or not, just because the traffic.

1536
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm not a car guy. I like, I

1537
01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 1: like to be driven. I'm a very much. The ride

1538
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 1: share thing has made LA much better for me. I

1539
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 1: like ubering, and that's right. I believe that you should

1540
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:34,880
Speaker 1: to get Uber riders to get ratings too, not just drivers.

1541
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 1: And I know many of you who disagree with me

1542
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:39,800
Speaker 1: on that. But LA has gotten some more some more

1543
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 1: bad news about city mismanagement, the homelessness problem. I want

1544
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 1: to I want to just touch on that a little

1545
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 1: bit and then we'll get into your favorite time in mind,

1546
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 1: roll call. That's coming up. I was just out in China,

1547
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:52,360
Speaker 1: as many of you know, for a week, and when

1548
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 1: I when I came back, I spent the week in

1549
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and I have to say that the new

1550
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 1: inline here for the day about how the number of

1551
01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:05,640
Speaker 1: homeless people's jumped twelve percent across La County and that

1552
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 1: you have nearly sixty thousand homeless living on the streets.

1553
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 1: This is tragic, but it's unsurprising. And California, you know,

1554
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 1: it takes a long time for a place to degrade.

1555
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:25,400
Speaker 1: You know, Rome wasn't built overnight, but it also didn't

1556
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 1: collapse overnight. It took a long series of events, over

1557
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,760
Speaker 1: a considerable period of time for everything to finally just

1558
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:35,760
Speaker 1: fall apart. And you know, you start to think, how

1559
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 1: quickly would some of these blue states really just collapse

1560
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 1: if they if they didn't have the federal government backing

1561
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 1: a lot of their programs and giving them all this stuff.

1562
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 1: I mean, how quickly would the actual governing decisions of

1563
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 1: some of these blue states turn into a Detroit like

1564
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:55,880
Speaker 1: situation or blue cities? I should say, although states too

1565
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:59,600
Speaker 1: at some level. But you know, California is a place that,

1566
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:04,479
Speaker 1: given its natural resources, it's tremendous beauty. I mean, you know,

1567
01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:07,719
Speaker 1: you drive along Pacific Coast Highway, you go check out Malibu,

1568
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:10,479
Speaker 1: big sir, These are some of the most beautiful places

1569
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:12,400
Speaker 1: in the United States. Some people would argue some of

1570
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:15,479
Speaker 1: the more beautiful places in the world. And the fact

1571
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:19,479
Speaker 1: that California has the problems that it does here really

1572
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:25,760
Speaker 1: just go to the political monoculture that exists. Now. There

1573
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:27,880
Speaker 1: are I think someone told me there are a million

1574
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:32,800
Speaker 1: a million Republicans, a million registered Republicans in the Los

1575
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:36,519
Speaker 1: Angeles County, either in the county or in Los Angeles

1576
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:40,680
Speaker 1: County and the surrounding areas. But there are Republicans. Ever,

1577
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:43,360
Speaker 1: they're just completely outvoted. I think it's three to one.

1578
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 1: And you have all these policies that are being pushed

1579
01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:49,680
Speaker 1: that are just they don't make sense. These are not

1580
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:54,960
Speaker 1: intelligent things to do. And this keeps happening in these

1581
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:59,760
Speaker 1: cities that are very, very blue. There's tremendous mismanagement. This

1582
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:04,880
Speaker 1: is happening in Los Angeles where the homelessness population is exploding,

1583
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 1: And this is happening in San Francisco, where you now

1584
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:12,840
Speaker 1: have the poop patrol for people trying to find human

1585
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:15,679
Speaker 1: feces via apps on the streets so they can avoid

1586
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:19,640
Speaker 1: those areas. I'm here in Baltimore, which has certainly had

1587
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 1: its fair share of problems from mismanagement, continues to be

1588
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:26,680
Speaker 1: plagued by crime. Really one of the only one of

1589
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:29,880
Speaker 1: the only exceptions to this, which is a very large

1590
01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:33,599
Speaker 1: blue city. I mean, Chicago had its most violent weekend

1591
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 1: of the year this past weekend. I think fifty people

1592
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 1: were shot something along those lines. But really, the only

1593
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 1: exception to this is New York City, where I'm originally from.

1594
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:50,680
Speaker 1: And I just believe that New York, under you know, Giuliani,

1595
01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:52,680
Speaker 1: cleaned it up so that crime wasn't going to be

1596
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 1: a problem. And then you did have a very lucky

1597
01:32:57,040 --> 01:33:01,640
Speaker 1: period of tremendous not just investment in the in the

1598
01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:04,759
Speaker 1: financial sector and all the employment there, but but global

1599
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:06,600
Speaker 1: investment in New York City. Because New York is a

1600
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 1: truly global city. You've had people from Russia, China, Brazil, India,

1601
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:18,679
Speaker 1: very very wealthy foreign nationals buying incredibly expensive properties, which

1602
01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:20,720
Speaker 1: has helped prop up the real estate market more than

1603
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:22,640
Speaker 1: it would have otherwise been. So New York is a

1604
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:25,680
Speaker 1: bit of an anomaly. But all these other places San Francisco,

1605
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:32,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans and just poorly run, man,

1606
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean just not run well at all. And you

1607
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:39,720
Speaker 1: see the decisions that are being made, and you can

1608
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:42,280
Speaker 1: tell on the left coast the west coast, people think

1609
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:46,000
Speaker 1: that it's mean to stop homelessness. They think it's it's

1610
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:48,760
Speaker 1: you're being unkind if you try to prevent people from

1611
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,360
Speaker 1: living on the streets and being in squalor, even if

1612
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:54,160
Speaker 1: you want to prevent the outbreak of diseases like typhus.

1613
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:56,640
Speaker 1: You know, the things that have been eradicated in the

1614
01:33:56,720 --> 01:34:00,320
Speaker 1: general population for a long time. But if you are

1615
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:03,960
Speaker 1: living in unsanitary conditions, you can get so. I feel

1616
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:05,960
Speaker 1: badly for a place like la because there's a lot

1617
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:07,800
Speaker 1: of great people live there, a lot of great Los

1618
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:12,280
Speaker 1: Angelenos listen to this show. But I also feel like

1619
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:15,519
Speaker 1: the country does get to learn something from far left

1620
01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:29,160
Speaker 1: management of these cities is incredibly damaging. Roll Calls up next. Hey,

1621
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 1: Team Buck, it's time for roll call. Let's get to

1622
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:54,200
Speaker 1: it Facebook dot Com, slash Buck Sexton, and let's get

1623
01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 1: to Kyle who rides Buck heard you want Kennedy talking

1624
01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:59,960
Speaker 1: about China. It bothers me that people in this country

1625
01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 1: loosely throw around the term fascist at whomever they disagree

1626
01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:05,600
Speaker 1: with politically. But if you look at the definition of

1627
01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 1: what fascism actually is, I think the twenty first century

1628
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:12,800
Speaker 1: reincarnation is China. I know they call themselves communists, but

1629
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:16,960
Speaker 1: I think their mix of nationalism, state run quasi capitalist enterprises,

1630
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: and the Orwellian police state is more fascist than communist

1631
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,640
Speaker 1: in its features. I'm not sure there can be a

1632
01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 1: deal with a devil like that unless we sacrifice our

1633
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:29,599
Speaker 1: principles and security. But I hope I'm wrong. Churchill warned

1634
01:35:29,600 --> 01:35:31,519
Speaker 1: about Hitler in the early thirties, but no one took

1635
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:33,920
Speaker 1: them seriously until the threat was too large to diffuse

1636
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 1: without all out war. We need leaders who understand the

1637
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:39,280
Speaker 1: threat and take it seriously because the target is on

1638
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:43,080
Speaker 1: our backs and the Chinese are practicing their aim. Well.

1639
01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:45,640
Speaker 1: You know, I've been reading them more and more of

1640
01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 1: these geostrategists of people that have been long time China watchers,

1641
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:56,000
Speaker 1: and they seem pretty united in the idea that China

1642
01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,720
Speaker 1: is really looking to defeat us or get ahead of

1643
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 1: us economically before we're going to see anything militarily from them.

1644
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:07,960
Speaker 1: And I see your point about how they're not They're

1645
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:13,880
Speaker 1: definitely not really truly communist because the central tenet of

1646
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:17,400
Speaker 1: a of a communist system is economics, right. I mean,

1647
01:36:17,479 --> 01:36:22,000
Speaker 1: that's Marxism, is it's a political and economic system intertwined together,

1648
01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:25,240
Speaker 1: or it's really politics directing the entirety of the economy

1649
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:31,080
Speaker 1: for the purposes of redistribution. But whether it's a you know,

1650
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:36,639
Speaker 1: fascist or quasi capitalist, or some new thing we've never seen,

1651
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:38,760
Speaker 1: I think you could probably argue that China is in

1652
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:41,800
Speaker 1: many ways, it's its own, its own political entity, and

1653
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 1: it is unlike anything else that we have ever seen

1654
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 1: in the past. There is a Central Committee, there is

1655
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:52,080
Speaker 1: a Chinese Communist Party, and the Central Committee does control things. Shijinping, though,

1656
01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 1: from what I understand, controls the Central Committee, So it's

1657
01:36:56,760 --> 01:37:00,519
Speaker 1: a communist dictatorship, it's an individual dictator ship. It's a

1658
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 1: one one party capitalist status enterprise. There's a lot of

1659
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:08,360
Speaker 1: ways you could describe China, but all of them are

1660
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:12,880
Speaker 1: going to be problematic for us going forward. Adam writes book,

1661
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:15,719
Speaker 1: you should do an ad campaign that coincides with the election,

1662
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:18,679
Speaker 1: have a parody of Comrade Commy Bear run for president,

1663
01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:21,840
Speaker 1: do all the tropes from the USSR, and help Trump win.

1664
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 1: Shields High well, Adam, I think especially there's a part

1665
01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:28,240
Speaker 1: of me that's hoping that Bernie Sanders is going to

1666
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:31,559
Speaker 1: get the nomination, just so then we can bring back

1667
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 1: Commy Bear, which would be a whole lot of fun

1668
01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 1: and it would be a really good way for us

1669
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 1: to be able to do some fun commentary and do

1670
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:42,760
Speaker 1: some good things. So we'll see, we'll see what we got.

1671
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 1: Stan writes In Paraguay, a teacher broke a piece of

1672
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:52,040
Speaker 1: chalk while writing on the chalkboard. Trump was blamed because

1673
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:56,120
Speaker 1: of the white chalk. He was also cited for racism. Stan,

1674
01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:58,800
Speaker 1: if you're a comedian, do not quit your day job,

1675
01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:02,759
Speaker 1: my friend, But I do you. Writing in Nonetheless, Brandon

1676
01:38:02,840 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 1: writes book Great Show Yesterday. The opening scene in Saving

1677
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:08,640
Speaker 1: Private Ryan's the main reason I joined the Army. I

1678
01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:10,839
Speaker 1: was in tears watching it at the age of twenty.

1679
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 1: I always loved my country, but didn't see the need

1680
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 1: to serve her. I thought to myself, what makes me

1681
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:18,160
Speaker 1: so special that I get to enjoy this freedom in

1682
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:21,559
Speaker 1: liberty without any sacrifice of my own. Shortly after watching

1683
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:23,600
Speaker 1: the movie, I went to an Army recruiter in my

1684
01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:27,320
Speaker 1: small community college in Saginaw, Michigan. I told the recruiter

1685
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:29,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to do what Ryan did in the movie.

1686
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:31,320
Speaker 1: By the grace of God, it all worked out, and

1687
01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:35,720
Speaker 1: I became an airborne infantryman with all with the ACO

1688
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:39,320
Speaker 1: one five O five in the eighty second Airborne Division.

1689
01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:42,680
Speaker 1: Today's a very special day for my old unit. One

1690
01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:45,599
Speaker 1: day before D Day h minus. It's written on our

1691
01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:47,840
Speaker 1: crests our unicrest to remember the men that jumped into

1692
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:51,760
Speaker 1: France one hour before June sixth, nineteen forty four. So

1693
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:55,479
Speaker 1: on June fifth, around twenty three hundred, that's when it happened.

1694
01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 1: Thanks for what you do, brother Airborne all the way.

1695
01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 1: I think I might say yesterday the anniversary D Day,

1696
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:03,600
Speaker 1: I might have. I know it's June six I just

1697
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 1: got confused as to what day we're what date we

1698
01:39:07,439 --> 01:39:10,400
Speaker 1: were on, so apologies for that, but obviously D Day

1699
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 1: is June sixth, which is coming up in a day

1700
01:39:14,160 --> 01:39:17,360
Speaker 1: day before today would be the day that you're getting

1701
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 1: loaded onto boats and getting ready to get on the

1702
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 1: planes for the air drop and all the rest of it.

1703
01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 1: And we talked about it in some detail yesterday, Michael rites.

1704
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:31,800
Speaker 1: But a couple of things. Glad you're leaving Rising the

1705
01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:34,599
Speaker 1: show will leave lose half its audience when you leave.

1706
01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:39,080
Speaker 1: Their website. Video playback was horrendous in terms of Uber ratings.

1707
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:41,679
Speaker 1: I'm with you. It's a free market solution to a problem.

1708
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:44,760
Speaker 1: Like all unregulated services in the free market. They only

1709
01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:49,000
Speaker 1: get better with time. On baby Trump, I think it's

1710
01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:51,200
Speaker 1: kind of cute. Would be the ultimate troll of his

1711
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:54,240
Speaker 1: supporters added a maga hat to it and started bringing

1712
01:39:54,280 --> 01:39:57,439
Speaker 1: little Trump baby balloons to the campaign rallies. Someone in

1713
01:39:57,479 --> 01:39:59,599
Speaker 1: the audience needs to get on that. Look, if they're

1714
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 1: not all ready selling fat baby Trump merchandise, then they're

1715
01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:07,600
Speaker 1: missing out on a big merchandising opportunity. You know, if

1716
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:10,200
Speaker 1: they're not already doing that, I would how many of

1717
01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:12,720
Speaker 1: you would buy a little baby Trump blow up for

1718
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:14,720
Speaker 1: the pool? You know? You know how people do those

1719
01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:18,000
Speaker 1: things where you know, like a big swan or I

1720
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 1: don't know, whatever it is, you blow up, you throw

1721
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 1: it in the water and then you can you can.

1722
01:40:22,040 --> 01:40:24,320
Speaker 1: It's not what is it called a float? I guess

1723
01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:26,560
Speaker 1: that would make sense because it's you're floating on it.

1724
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:30,960
Speaker 1: But baby Trump merchandise, fat baby Trump merchandise is definitely

1725
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:33,960
Speaker 1: something that there's an opportunity. And so if they have

1726
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 1: not already trademarked it and just putting it out there,

1727
01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 1: you can send me, send me a ten percent cut.

1728
01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:41,560
Speaker 1: For the person that actually gets it and starts making it,

1729
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:43,360
Speaker 1: send me my ten percent cut and will consider it

1730
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 1: even Let's see here, John Rights, where are you located

1731
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:51,680
Speaker 1: so far back in the woods? I get TV a

1732
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:54,919
Speaker 1: day late. Well, John, I do the show out of Washington,

1733
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 1: d C. But as I said, I'm in Baltimore tonight

1734
01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:00,120
Speaker 1: because sometimes I gotta make moves. I got meetings how

1735
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:02,720
Speaker 1: to do, and that's yeah. I do the show in

1736
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:06,599
Speaker 1: the Swamp, live from the swamp. Jeff Rights, Hey, Buck

1737
01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 1: love your show. Listen nightly. By the way, what artist

1738
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:12,240
Speaker 1: and song is your bumper music between segments? Sounds great.

1739
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to know so I can download it. Thanks

1740
01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 1: and have a great day. Well, Jeff, appreciate you writing

1741
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 1: in the bumper music between segments. It comes from a

1742
01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:23,519
Speaker 1: music library which we have a commercial license for, so

1743
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know that there's a band associated with it.

1744
01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:29,320
Speaker 1: I think it's just the overall library that we have

1745
01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:32,280
Speaker 1: rights too. I couldn't tell you, but I did pick

1746
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 1: out some of the music. So the more upbeat stuff

1747
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:37,920
Speaker 1: tends to come from tends to come from me. We

1748
01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:41,640
Speaker 1: are thinking about doing a kind of revamp of the

1749
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,599
Speaker 1: music on the show. In general. We're thinking about doing

1750
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:47,640
Speaker 1: some changes to the They call it imaging, which I

1751
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 1: always think is interesting because it's audio, it's not image,

1752
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:55,520
Speaker 1: but the radio imaging may be changing pretty soon. Marissa

1753
01:41:55,840 --> 01:41:58,599
Speaker 1: Rights heard roll call. Thank you, Yes, send the Freedom

1754
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:01,560
Speaker 1: Hunt address and I'll get them sent to you. In

1755
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:05,599
Speaker 1: the male. The beard oils, all right, Marissa, I haven't forgotten.

1756
01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:07,599
Speaker 1: We'll get that to you. Although my beard is, as

1757
01:42:07,640 --> 01:42:10,760
Speaker 1: some of you noticed, very trimmed down from what it

1758
01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:14,080
Speaker 1: used to be. It's much less of a much less

1759
01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:17,559
Speaker 1: of an Eric Eric the red Viking beard, and now

1760
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:19,439
Speaker 1: more of a like, Hey, I'm a hipster who makes

1761
01:42:19,479 --> 01:42:22,799
Speaker 1: coffee kind of a beard. I don't know if hipster's

1762
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:26,360
Speaker 1: talked that way. I don't know what really happened there, Sarah, Hey,

1763
01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 1: Buck really galls mean that Virginia Governor Northam cannot wait

1764
01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:33,559
Speaker 1: to kill babies but wants to keep others safe from

1765
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:40,040
Speaker 1: harm by guns. Same old communist socialist agenda shields high. Oh, Sarah,

1766
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:42,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have much to add to that.

1767
01:42:44,360 --> 01:42:48,760
Speaker 1: Let's see here, dude, this is from Matt. Dude, what

1768
01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:52,640
Speaker 1: is the deal? I haven't had to care about the

1769
01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:56,799
Speaker 1: British Royal Navy, British Royal family, not Navy, sorry, British

1770
01:42:56,840 --> 01:43:00,280
Speaker 1: Royal family since July four, seventeen seventy six. I never

1771
01:43:00,439 --> 01:43:03,080
Speaker 1: understand seeing their pictures, all of the tabloids and the

1772
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:06,240
Speaker 1: checkout line I liked, I like Trump would have been

1773
01:43:06,240 --> 01:43:09,600
Speaker 1: completely lost if I were asked about the Duchess of Sussex.

1774
01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:15,280
Speaker 1: Who who? What? What? Who? Matt. I also, I share

1775
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:20,719
Speaker 1: your confusion here because why anyone cares at all about

1776
01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:24,640
Speaker 1: the British royal family is something that I have no

1777
01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:29,960
Speaker 1: real Well, I'll say this, people like fairy tales and

1778
01:43:30,760 --> 01:43:34,040
Speaker 1: royal families figure heavily in that, and I think for

1779
01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:37,920
Speaker 1: I noticed that they're more popular among young women. They

1780
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:41,040
Speaker 1: like Meghan Markle and the Prince Harry and all these guys.

1781
01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:45,400
Speaker 1: They're viewed as a kind of ultimate like a classy

1782
01:43:46,840 --> 01:43:48,960
Speaker 1: what do you call it, classy reality star. That's what

1783
01:43:49,120 --> 01:43:51,240
Speaker 1: the British Royal family is for a lot of people.

1784
01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:55,720
Speaker 1: They're like classy reality stars. So maybe that's part of it, um,

1785
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:58,640
Speaker 1: But I couldn't I couldn't speak to it really beyond that.

1786
01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:03,479
Speaker 1: Pablo hey Buck, you asked for good shows to watch,

1787
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:05,519
Speaker 1: and just saw this week in a mini series about

1788
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:08,559
Speaker 1: the Central Park five. I thought it was done really

1789
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:10,800
Speaker 1: well and telling the story of this tragedy. Then they

1790
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:13,160
Speaker 1: couldn't help themselves and actually took a jab in the

1791
01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:18,240
Speaker 1: summary part of the show. Huh, shields high. I don't

1792
01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:19,560
Speaker 1: know what you mean by took a jab in the

1793
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:22,560
Speaker 1: summary part of the show. I would just say this.

1794
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:27,360
Speaker 1: You know, Ann Coulter has done a lot of really

1795
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:32,559
Speaker 1: interesting work on the Central Park five and has pointed

1796
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:37,680
Speaker 1: out that the people that were initially convicted, they confessed,

1797
01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:41,240
Speaker 1: and the way that they were all exonerated was essentially

1798
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:44,400
Speaker 1: that their DNA was not the DNA found on the

1799
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:47,719
Speaker 1: woman who was brutally raped and attacked and almost beaten

1800
01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:50,479
Speaker 1: to death in the park. But that was always, as

1801
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:52,719
Speaker 1: I understand it, that was always known. It was always

1802
01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:56,639
Speaker 1: believed that there was a primary attacker who got away,

1803
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:58,880
Speaker 1: but that did not mean that no one else took

1804
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 1: part in the attack. And for that kind of a

1805
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:03,799
Speaker 1: sexual assault, if anyone takes any part in the attack,

1806
01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:07,479
Speaker 1: they are equally guilty as the perpetrator who would have

1807
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:12,439
Speaker 1: left behind his genetic material. So I'm willing to bet

1808
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:14,360
Speaker 1: that if I watch this and then read back over

1809
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:16,280
Speaker 1: the court transcripts of it, and maybe I'll have to

1810
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:18,920
Speaker 1: do that, I will find that this is likely a

1811
01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:24,800
Speaker 1: work of some propaganda. But we shall see, we shall see.

1812
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:32,720
Speaker 1: What else do we have here? We have Chris all right,

1813
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:34,800
Speaker 1: buck heard you talking about Stephen King. I grew up

1814
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:36,200
Speaker 1: in the eighties and he was one of the defining

1815
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:38,840
Speaker 1: cultural authors. I read every book up until he got

1816
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:40,479
Speaker 1: hit by a van of the nineties. I think he's

1817
01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:43,240
Speaker 1: writing veered off into something after that. I still read

1818
01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:45,240
Speaker 1: a number of his books, but he never really recovered

1819
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:48,679
Speaker 1: from the accident. I married my midlife crisis. He wallowed

1820
01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:51,040
Speaker 1: in that life threatening accident. Who am I to judge?

1821
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:53,680
Speaker 1: What has always jared me is that all of his

1822
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:57,040
Speaker 1: main characters are unmistakably conservative insane. In other words, the

1823
01:45:57,200 --> 01:46:00,479
Speaker 1: heroes of his stories are recognizable as normal. He doesn't

1824
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:03,080
Speaker 1: understand the good guys. He writes about our conservative talk

1825
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:05,840
Speaker 1: about cognitive dissidence. Well, Chris, thanks so much for our

1826
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:08,760
Speaker 1: writing it about Stephen King. I have never read a

1827
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 1: Stephen King book, so I can't really speak to it,

1828
01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:14,000
Speaker 1: but thank you very much for giving me your thoughts

1829
01:46:14,080 --> 01:46:16,680
Speaker 1: on the matter. All Right, team, that's gonna be it

1830
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:20,000
Speaker 1: for today in the Hut from Baltimore. Get a shout

1831
01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:23,120
Speaker 1: out to all the folks listening on WCBM. I hope

1832
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:27,080
Speaker 1: you are enjoying it and we will be back tomorrow

1833
01:46:27,160 --> 01:46:32,559
Speaker 1: from the swamp from DC, same time, same place, well,

1834
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:35,200
Speaker 1: I guess different place for me, but same place for you,

1835
01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:36,880
Speaker 1: hopefully Shieldsaye
