1 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Is socialism really a 2 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: threat to America? Well, there are rising stars the Democratic 3 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: Party who are open advocates of socialism. How do we 4 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: fight back against this nonsense? Plus, the President is standing 5 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: firm on his demand for funding for a wall. He 6 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: is going down to the border tomorrow. We will talk 7 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: about where this debate stands and how it's likely to end. 8 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: That and more coming up on the buck Sexton Show. 9 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show where the mission or 10 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 11 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: Make no mistake America, You're a great American Again. The 12 00:00:51,320 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins. When people hear the word socialism, 13 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: they think so Union, Cuba, Venezuela is that? Would you 14 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: haven't mind? Of course not, Well, we haven't mind. And 15 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: my policies most closely resemble what we see in the UK, 16 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: in Norway, in Finland, in Sweden. Welcome to the buck 17 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Socialism in America, my friends, it is very 18 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: much ascendant. There you had progressive superstar Alexandria Ocasio Cortes 19 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 1: getting the celebrity treatment from Anderson Cooper on sixty minutes. 20 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: This is a woman who has not been a part 21 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: of a single major legislative bill, who does not have 22 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 1: an idea that has not been said by many Democrats 23 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: before her, including recently people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. 24 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: There's very all that separates her from them. It's just 25 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: she's young and telegenic and Latina, and they are very 26 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: excited about the prospect of what she will mean for 27 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party going forward. And she dated fairness, managed 28 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: to beat a about as entrenched a machine politician as 29 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: one could find with Crowley and that Queen's race in 30 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: New York City. But this interview was very interesting because 31 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: it's a preview of what I think is going to 32 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: be the central debate of the twenty twenty election and 33 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: about the direction of this country. I don't think the 34 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: Democrats are hiding this anymore. They may try to soften 35 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: the tone a little bit. They may, you know, stick 36 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: to things like democratic socialism. They'll they'll talk about how, 37 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, we're not going to be Venezuela, will be 38 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: more like Sweden. You know, they're going to have ways 39 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: of making it sound less scary because most Americans still 40 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: think socialism. Wait, hasn't there been a pretty well established 41 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: and long history of socialism's failures stretching back for a 42 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: hundred years or so in the West and in the world. 43 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: Isn't that a well established historical fact. Now, this is 44 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: also where we have to be very careful, because the 45 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: history and the math are not enough to win the fight. 46 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: People win political arguments based on emotion all the time. 47 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: It's actually what democrats excel at doing. They're not winning 48 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: the immigration argument based on what it does for the 49 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: economy and for security and for rule of law. They 50 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: up to this point have been getting their way on 51 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: immigration because they claim to care so much about the poor, 52 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: to claim so much about non American people of color, 53 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: and they want to help people and be kind. Those 54 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: of us who want to secure border are mean, are heartless, 55 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: are cruel. That's an emotional argument, and it has been 56 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: a very powerful one, as you know, because it has 57 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: carried the day for a long time. The Democrats in 58 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: the left have been getting their way on immigration for 59 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: thirty years, well some would say for more like sixty 60 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: years now, but almost an unrestricted fashion. For thirty years, 61 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: I mean since Reagan's attempt to secure the border and 62 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: the amnesty he gave which was a mistake. It was 63 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: a mistake. Reagan admitted this. We got the amnesty, we 64 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: did not get the security. Which is why when the 65 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: Gang of Eight came along with their oh, look at 66 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: our comprehensive immigration reform, some of us knew it was 67 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: a trap. Knew what was going to happen. Those of 68 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: us who know history, just like those of us who 69 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: understand at a basic level. I mean, I'm not an economist, 70 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: but us who understand economics and math in just a 71 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: rudimentary way will tell you that what o'casio Cortez is 72 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: talking about with taxes and free this and free that 73 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: is completely and utterly fanciful. It is unsustainable. It could 74 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: not be the case, even if we wanted it to 75 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: be the case, it could not be the case. She 76 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 1: received a lot of attention for saying that the top 77 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: tax rate would be something like, you know, seventy percent, 78 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: and that would only be, of course, on the graduated 79 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: income scale, so some of your dollars would be you know, 80 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: it's the same way as now. It's a progressive income tax, right, 81 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: even if you pay the top marginal rate, which I 82 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: think is thirty seven or thirty nine percent, whatever, it 83 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: is I don't make it. That's not for all of 84 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: your income, that's for a portion of your income. Problem 85 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: she runs into is that they're simply not enough soaking 86 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: of the rich you can do to pay for things 87 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: like universal healthcare. There's not enough money to pay for 88 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: things like free college for everyone, and what costs with 89 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: the broader economy incur when it comes to things like creativity, 90 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: research and development, entrepreneurship. The economic engine of this country 91 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: is based on self interest. We already have a lot 92 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: of redistributive mechanisms that we've come to largely accept. Let's 93 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,679 Speaker 1: note that we are not a pure free market economy. 94 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: And one of the things, not at all. One of 95 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: the things that we need directing with more I think 96 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: as conservatives is you know why, you know we're all 97 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: pretty said on Medicare and social Security. These are good programs. 98 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: Let's keep them, you know, we we've now. I just 99 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: spoke to a guy today about the Farm Bill, which 100 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: is hundreds of billions of dollars and is spending about 101 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars a year on food stamps, which they 102 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: no longer call food stamps. They they call nutrition. And 103 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: I had to stop this guy For second, well, hold 104 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: on a sea. What do you mean You're spending fifty 105 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: billion a year on fifty billion a year on nutrition 106 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: like nutritional advice? What does that mean? Oh? No, the 107 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: Supplemental Nutrition Nutritional Assistance Program SNAP is the acronym, which 108 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: is just a rebranding of food stamps. So we're spending 109 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars year on food stamps. We have a 110 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: lot of big government programs already in place. Some people 111 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: argue that in certain ways we are less free market 112 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: than Sweden and Denmark. We are less of a of 113 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: a business friendly climate than some of those countries in 114 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: terms of their regulation. What we envy so much, or 115 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: rather what democrats and socialists in this country envy so 116 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: much about our European cousins is that they have very 117 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: large welfare states and very high taxes. The problem with 118 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: the Occasio Cortez approach, and it's also the Bernie Sanders 119 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: approach and the Warren approach, and it is now but 120 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: you're going to have a candidate who is for a 121 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: Green New Deal, which no one's even really clear on 122 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: what that means. Others it's going to be the hope 123 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: and change of twenty twenty, the Green New Deal, it's 124 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: it's Hope and Change twenty twenty. Uh, you're going to 125 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: have a candidate who is for Medicare for all, which 126 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: is a single payer You're you're going to have. It's actually, 127 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: in some ways what's it's a little different than single 128 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: payer medicare UM Medicare for all would would include people 129 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: paying some of their own costs. Medicare has there's cost 130 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: sharing involved in it, but they're going to skip over that. 131 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: They just want the government to pay for all of it. 132 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: But that's where the Democratic Party is heading. And and 133 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: my caution and one of the reasons why I'm not 134 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: sitting here going yeah, like I'm setting with Arnathan Cooper 135 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: and like we just need like free stuff and like 136 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: whatever in doing all that, And sometimes, look, I like 137 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: to have a little fun too, And Okazi Cortez can 138 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: be fun to fund a joke around about some of 139 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: the very foolish things that she says. You know, she 140 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: doesn't strike me as a nasty person. I mean, she's 141 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: obviously telegenic, and her little dance video is cute and 142 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: the whole thing. You know, I don't come on radio 143 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: as a hateful, angry person, because I'm not a hateful 144 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: and angry person. I just disagree with her on policy, 145 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: and well, I know she's wrong on policy. But here's 146 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: what I am trying to tell you, here's what really matters. 147 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: History tells us she's wrong. Human nature tells us she's 148 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: I want to say, she it's a stand in for 149 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, scrowing democratic socialism in America is a 150 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: bad idea. It will not work, it will make us poorer. 151 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: It will not And we are such an engine for 152 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: the rest of the economy too, for the global hoomy. 153 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: And our military provides so much protection for much of 154 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: the rest of the world. Our navy keeps the blue 155 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: water or our blue Water Navy keeps the oceans open, 156 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: keeps the still. Most of the commerce that occurs in 157 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: the world in terms of shipping, happens on the oceans, 158 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: and that's possible in large part because of our blue 159 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: Water Navy. So I mean, you know, our European cousins 160 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: also get a lot of a lot of free riding 161 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: going on off of what we are doing in this country. 162 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: So if we go in their direction, what does that 163 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: mean for them? But I'm telling you that even with 164 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: the arguments lined up of history of science, of math, 165 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: emotion can still win, emotion can still triumph, and they 166 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: have a they have a moment in time here where 167 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: there there is a sense and Trump tapped into it, 168 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: so we know it's there. On the right, there is 169 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: a sense that people's expectations in this country are not 170 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: being met, for their ability to achieve their dreams, for 171 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: their ability to find purpose, to find security of financially, 172 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: and with financial security comes the security that you have 173 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: in your day to day life. A kind of there, 174 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: I say social security, but not the big government program. 175 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: There is something missing here where we're all aware of it. 176 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: There's a sense of there's a hole in the American 177 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: psyche right now, and what is it going to be 178 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: filled with. Trump came along and said, look, there is 179 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: a problem here, and that got a lot of people 180 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: thinking about the government, thinking about their country differently. And Trump, 181 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: also you never hear talk about this way, had a 182 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: message that was inspirational from many people in the country, 183 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: which is we're going to make this place great. But essentially, 184 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: American excellence is making a comeback. American achievement will be 185 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: valued and rewarded. Now that's that's a very compelling message, 186 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: but along the way, people are being told a different message. 187 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: Democrats are telling them a different message every day, and 188 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: that message is male dominance, patriarchy, white privilege, structural racism. 189 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: You know, the Republican Party controlled by big oil and 190 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: special interests. They're keeping you down. They're the reason that 191 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: anyone who is frustrated with their circumstances in their situation 192 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: are not able to achieve more. And instead of telling 193 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: people to take more ownership over their lives, to take 194 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: more ownership over their ability to succeed, the message they're 195 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: being fed by the Democrat Party is we will give 196 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: you these things because you are owed them because the 197 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: other people, that's you and me, The other people, the Republicans, 198 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: the Conservatives, they're the ones who are keeping you from 199 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: having these things. They're the ones who are preventing you 200 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: from having the healthcare you want, sending your children to 201 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: the schools they want to go to, having the kind 202 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: of wages, having to kind of pay for work that 203 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: you deserve. It is not a you know, it is 204 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: not dire poverty that tends to lead to revolutions and 205 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: revolutionary politics in well off societies. It's unmet expectations. That's 206 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: what is truly combustible. You know, the Founding fathers, they 207 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: weren't starving to death in the streets. They were not 208 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: getting a fair deal, and their expectations for how they 209 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: were to be governed and how they were how they 210 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: felt they should be able to conduct themselves in their 211 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: businesses were not being met. Unmet expectations are a combustible 212 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: thing in politics, and the Democratic Party is trying toize 213 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: on them now. They are laying the groundwork. And if 214 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: we think that you're saying, oh, it's too expensive. This 215 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: is in Sweden. Look at Venezuela. It's such a disaster 216 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: and Ocasio Cortez doesn't really know anything. That doesn't mean 217 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna win. People like to be told that somebody 218 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: else is responsible for their disappointments in life. People like 219 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: to be told that they are not just going to 220 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: be given things, but they are owed the things they 221 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: will be given. They are owed free college, they are 222 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: owed free housing, they're owed a guaranteed job, which Democrats 223 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: are now openly talking about. If you want a real 224 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: chill to run down your spine, go and read the 225 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: Soviet constitution. Soviet Union said that the people of a 226 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: Soviet Union were owed all kinds of things, old housing, 227 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: old food, old vacation job. They didn't have any of 228 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: those things because ultimately the state's ability to provide them 229 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: wasn't there, and the state ultimately wasn't really interested in 230 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: providing them. We'll get more into this, because this fight 231 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: over socialism in America right now is a fight over 232 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: the future of this country, which really does meet it 233 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: is a fight over the future of the world economy. 234 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. The American people are going to 235 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: realize how important it is to have a Republican president 236 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: and a Republican Senate because what we're going to have 237 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: to do is protect the country from these radical progressives 238 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: socialist and the Democrat Party who want to raise taxes 239 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: again on corporations, which makes us uncompetitive with the world. 240 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: They want to raise individual taxes, and they really want 241 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: the government to own everything. They want the government involved 242 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: in every sector of the economy. They're just getting started. 243 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: So we're going to be very very lucky that the 244 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: Publican Senate and the Republican president will stop, you know, 245 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: the country from slipping and sliding towards socialists, just like 246 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: I was saying last week Senator round Paul gets it. 247 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: The biggest advertising for the Republicans is going to be 248 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: the Democrats. I mean, when you see these hearings and 249 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: all of the hubbub they're going to create around what 250 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: are just bad ideas, are just honestly and truly bad ideas, 251 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: ideas that don't take into account what we have learned 252 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: about how human beings interact with each other economically, what 253 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: it means to put the government in charge of more 254 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: and more of the country. You see, the government's already 255 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: in charge of too much. In my opinion, the government 256 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: is already too large, The government spends too much. The 257 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: answer is not to do more of the things that 258 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: we know are already problematic. But it's difficult to fight 259 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: back against this Democrat industrial complex such as it is 260 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: because they've just got some like general ideas Man play eleven. 261 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: How are you going to pay for all of this? 262 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: No one asks how we're going to pay for the 263 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: space Force. No one asked how we paid for a 264 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: two trillion dollar tax cut. We only ask how we 265 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: pay for it on issues of housing, healthcare, and education. 266 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: How do we pay for it with the same exact 267 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: mechanisms that we pay for military increases, for the space force, 268 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: for all of these ambitious policies. Does she not know? 269 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: And I mean that honestly, she might not know that 270 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: the biggest problems in our deficit right now are already 271 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: the spending that we do on healthcare, the spending that 272 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: we do on education, the spending that we do on 273 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: these issues. That's that's already a massive issue. And so 274 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: the answer is to just make it even worse, to 275 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: spend even more money that you don't have. Astonishing, but look, 276 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: her ignorance is not going to be her undoing. I'm 277 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: if you haven't heard it from anyone else, you heard 278 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: it from me. She is appealing. She has a Knight. 279 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: You know, they like her, her background and her story. 280 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: You know, just think about what they were able to 281 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: do to accomplish with Obama based on how he presented 282 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: and what his background was. Eight years as president. She's 283 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: a younger run for president, but she is taking the 284 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: Democrat left message national. I really understood the frustration that 285 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: working people had across the political spectrum. You know, when 286 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: anybody is saying the economy is going great, we are 287 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: at record levels, there's a frustration that says, well, the 288 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: economy is good for who. I mean, unemployment is at 289 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: record lows. I don't think that that's helps the whole story. 290 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: When you can't provide for your kids working a full 291 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: time job, working two full time jobs, when you can't 292 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: have healthcare, that is not dignify telling stories that get 293 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: people to feel that connection with those that they assume 294 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: must be struggling terribly. I mean, working two full time jobs, 295 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: no healthcare. This is it certainly sounds like there's something 296 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: of an economic emergency in this country. Meanwhile, the numbers 297 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: that we have to work with don't really tell that tale. 298 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: But remember, this is about laying the groundwork for greater 299 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: government control of your lives. And if they can emotionally 300 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: convince people that this is necessary, then the realities of 301 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: the numbers. While they're talking about the unemployment number, wages, 302 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: you name it, GDP growth, the reality of the numbers 303 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: will fade into the background. You saw this with the 304 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: Obama administration. They He's had an excuse for all the 305 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: numbers weren't what they were supposed to be. There was 306 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: an excuse. It was Obama's best intentions that if nothing else, 307 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 1: were a fallback. But most authoritarian schemes that we see 308 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: in the Western world these days, you know, most authority 309 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: intend to be benevolent. That's what you could call authoritarian 310 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: high modernism, which is an academic way of saying, central 311 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: planning running stuff for you, based upon science and knowledge, 312 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: and the smart people making the decisions for all of us. 313 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: But this has led to some very bad things. Here's 314 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: a quote that's really stuck with me from Zigmund Bauman, 315 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: and he wrote the following. Modern science, which has displaced 316 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: and replaced God, removed the obstacle of limits on freedom. 317 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: It also created a vacancy, the office of the Supreme 318 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: Legislator and manager of the designer and administrator of the 319 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: world order, that was now horrifyingly empty. It had to 320 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,239 Speaker 1: be filled or else. The emptiness of the throne was 321 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: throughout the modern era a standing and tempting invitation to 322 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:30,719 Speaker 1: visionaries and adventurers. The dream of an all embracing order 323 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: and harmony remained as vivid as ever, and it seemed 324 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: now closer than ever, more than ever within human reach. 325 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: It was now up to mortal earthlings to bring it 326 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: about and to secure its ascendency. See the people that 327 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: want to run your life. They think that they are 328 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: doing you a favor. The people who want to control 329 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: what you could have as private property and what kind 330 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: of commerce you can engage in, and how you seek 331 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: to pursue your own happiness, whether you are looking for 332 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: a relatively quiet and simple life or you want to 333 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: be some kind of billionaire superstar. Those people, they don't 334 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: think of themselves as bad. The democratic socialists who want 335 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,719 Speaker 1: you to pay incredibly high taxes and deal with rationing 336 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: at not just hospitals, but at any healthcare provider, and 337 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: who think that you shouldn't have any choice in where 338 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: your children go to school. You should go wherever the 339 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: state thinks they should go, and you should pay whatever 340 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: the state decides is quote fair, based upon a committee 341 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: of experts. They all think they're doing you a favor. 342 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: They're not embracing the notion of themselves as tyrants out 343 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: for their own gain. You know, they're not approaching this 344 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: from the from the pure Soviet model of you know, 345 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: the Central Committee lives in a completely different social and 346 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: economic ecosystem in the rest of the country. They think 347 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: they're doing you a favor. Warren Sanders Acasio Cortez, Nancy Pelosi, 348 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: they're all in on this now. Higher taxes, redistribute the wealth, 349 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: more government control, more government power. They believe they are 350 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: making a better America and that they are so smart, 351 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: or at least they're relying on people who are so 352 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: smart that they can't get it wrong. Unfortunately, history is filled, 353 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: and I mean recent history is filled with the festering 354 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:42,239 Speaker 1: carcasses of central planning gone awry. History has shown us 355 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: that when you decide to put expertise above individual rights 356 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: and yes, individual self interest, it leads to calamity. And 357 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: we do not live in a perfect, free and fair 358 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: market right now, There's no question about it. We already 359 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: have too much government intrution. But the answer is not 360 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: to make our problems even worse. And that's the direction 361 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: we are going to be heading in now. Just as 362 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 1: in many ways Trump was something of a corrective for 363 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: the excesses, the progressive excesses of Obamaism, we are heading 364 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: toward a left wing correction of Trumpism that could be 365 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: so profound the country economically, politically, and who knows how 366 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: else will never truly recover from it. That's the scope 367 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: of what we face right now, and that's why we 368 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: have to win this argument. I'll be back with talk 369 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: on immigration, the wall, the shutdown, Trump's big plans speech, 370 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: and also masculinity is now being talked about as as toxic. 371 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: That's that's going to be a subject that I'm looking 372 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: forward to diving in with all of you. Now, I mean, 373 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: they're they're they're not saying toxic masculinity, just masculine masculinity 374 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: in general. Now, and then a story, since the left 375 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: is so fond of anecdotes. In the third hour, I've 376 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: got a story for you about a young woman who 377 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: was in a pretty standard accident where you gotta go 378 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: to the er, I gotta fix a broken arm. And 379 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: the bill that she got and the reason for it 380 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: is staggering, and we should all be aware of it 381 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: because it's a glimpse into what the healthcare future in 382 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: this country based on social justice is going to be, 383 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: and we are increasingly getting pushed toward it. So we 384 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 1: have a show covering all kinds of angles. Stay right 385 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: with me. I'll be back. We have a crisis at 386 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: the border of drugs of human beings being trafficked all 387 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: over the world. They're coming through and we have an 388 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: absolute crisis and of criminals and gang members coming through. 389 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: It is national security, it's a national emergency. Say it's 390 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: a national emergency. He's saying that. He's uh, he's he's 391 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: teeing it up, folks. You know, Trump is scheduled right 392 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: now to give an address tomorrow, an address tomorrow on 393 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: TV I think at nine eastern. So right when this 394 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: show finishes, Trump is going to be on air, and 395 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: he is He's going to address the American people and 396 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: make the case for how one I mean that the 397 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: Democrats aren't aren't in transigent, are are aren't unwilling to 398 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,719 Speaker 1: negotiate because of what is sensible? What is the border? 399 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: They're just now they don't want to do it now, 400 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: they're just refusing. They're refusing because it would mean that 401 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: a border wall would be built. And if a border 402 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: wall is built and it works, even partially, then we 403 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: will know the Democrats have been lying this whole time 404 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: about how walls do not work. That much will be clear. 405 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: And beyond that, President Trump will have kept his most 406 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: central promise to his base. So that's incredibly powerful stuff. 407 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: And everyone's already thinking about twenty twenty. Everyone's talking about 408 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: who the dem candidates are by the dem bench, and 409 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: I just just to if I could take a little 410 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: step aside here from the Democrat bench. You look at 411 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: the people there they're putting out there is as serious candidates. 412 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: You know, say what you will about the Republican primary 413 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: that Trump managed to just just crush everybody else in 414 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Carl Fierina. These are 415 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: all serious people, you know. They obviously everyone has their 416 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: flaws and all the rest of it. And I'm not 417 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: saying they're even great politicians, but they're all serious people, 418 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: you know. Elizabeth Warren, Corey Booker, Beto O'Rourke, these these 419 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: are not serious people. I don't know. I just this 420 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: is the bench. This is just being talked about Bernie Sanders, 421 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Really you think that that that's who is 422 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: going to be the standard bearer? These are the people 423 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: they're putting forward. So I do think that there's a 424 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: lot of insecurity around that, and that's why there's such 425 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: a sense of all or nothing with preventing Trump from 426 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: getting his border wall promise, because if he manages to 427 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: keep that promise, I just think that he'll be unbeatable. 428 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: And they're unwilling to see that to him. But the 429 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: more the president's out there making the case this is 430 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: what Republicans always failed to do in the past. The 431 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: more he is out there making the case, the better 432 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: the likelihood is that there will be a cave from 433 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: the other side. Why I ask you this, Why do 434 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: we always have to assume that our side, the Republicans, 435 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: will be the ones who give in. Why can't be 436 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: the Democrats who give in once on this issue? And 437 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: this is a test of wills, and it's a it's 438 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: a pr battle. I have to love how on whereas 439 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: it on Politico, a left wing site that claims to 440 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: just be about politics, they have a piece of about 441 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: the you know, the Trump propaganda battle that's going on 442 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: right now. You mean speaking publicly about an issue of 443 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: great natural importance and doing so in a way that 444 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: is representative of the right. That's compelling. Trump's gonna be 445 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: at the border. I mean, he understands the optics of this. 446 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: This is why this guy is in so many ways 447 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: lives worst nightmare. The establishment, the consensus, it's all been. Oh, 448 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: he can't fight this out, he can't stay and try 449 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: to get the border wall he's gonna he's gonna have 450 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: to give up, he's gonna have to move on past 451 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: this because Republicans always lose. Meanwhile, Trump is saying, no, no, no, 452 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go down to the border. I'm gonna give 453 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: a speech at the border, and We're really going to 454 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: focus the attention of the American people on this and 455 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: that is powerful. The only thing that is supposed to 456 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: determine which way this situation goes is the decisions made 457 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: by those in power who are listening to the American people, Right, 458 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: That's it. So it's a it's a public perception issue. 459 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: And if the public decides that a border wall is 460 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: worthwhile because they hear Trump, they listen to the case, 461 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, they have a 462 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: recognition of how essential, how much of a of a 463 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: benefit it would it would bring to our border patrol agents, 464 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: and what it would do for this country. I mean, 465 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: if finally think about how it could finally take the 466 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: heat off of our immigration and our assimilation process, which 467 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: assimilation is really a cultural thing. Right, we don't have 468 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: a Yeah, we have some immigration systems in place that 469 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: try to bring people, you know, more fully into the 470 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: American family, and you know, you take the citizenship tasks 471 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: and those kinds of things, but I'm talking about our 472 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: cultural assimilation right having bring people in this country and 473 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: having them join us as Americans. That process is being 474 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: both overwhelmed and undermined by this flood of illegals. And 475 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: Trump is just saying enough is enough. It would be 476 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: a very different It would be a very different place 477 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: if we all of a sudden could we'd we'd be 478 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: in a different place. If we could determine what the 479 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: immigration levels would be, skills based immigration would be primary. 480 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't had that. We haven't had that 481 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: in decades, in decades. I'm glad to see that there's 482 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: some out there who, you know, are not backing down 483 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:53,479 Speaker 1: on this one. You know, it's it's just so easy 484 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: to try to, you know, skew a little bit towards 485 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: the center on this one. Oh but way, Trump is saying, 486 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna be steel. It's gonna be a steel wall. 487 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: Play clip too. They don't like concrete, so we'll give 488 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: him stale. Stale is fine. Stale is actually steal is 489 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: actually more expensive than concrete. But it'll look beautiful and 490 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: it's very strong. It's actually stronger. There's such a focus. 491 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: There's such a focus, at least this morning I was 492 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: seeing in some of the newspapers on is it a wall, 493 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: there's a barrier, or is it steel as it slats? 494 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,959 Speaker 1: Is it? This is all nonsense. I mean, these are 495 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: all time wasters that are being posed as important distinctions 496 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: in this whole process. You know, what really matters, what 497 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: really matters is what would this do for the country 498 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: and how much money would we save over the long run? 499 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: Never mind also the lives that would be saved, the 500 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: lives that would not be shattered because of our open 501 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: borders immigration policy or you know whatever we call it. 502 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: People say, oh, it's not open borders, look at our 503 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: massive border patrol. Okay, but currently, if you show up 504 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: at the border and say that somebody was somebody was 505 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: mean to you and Honduras, you get to stay in 506 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: the country and plead your case and oh buck, no, 507 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: it's not that their lives are in jeoparty. Not everybody 508 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: in these caravans. Let's not all pretend that we're a 509 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: bunch of idiots. Not everybody in the caravans that have 510 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: been showing up, the tens of thousands of families have 511 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: had an immune threat against their lives from a gang. Okay, 512 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: Honduras is a country that has some rough stuff going on, 513 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: no doubt. But if these people are qualifying for asylum, 514 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: then that means the whole country of Honduras. But have 515 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: to qualify for a summer. This is a scam. It's 516 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: a scam, and it's one that it is a long 517 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: past time for us to end. And Trump understands that 518 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: the border, this is an issue of security. It is 519 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: in the national security realm. Play clip eight. No, we 520 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: won't be opening until it's solved. We think this is 521 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,959 Speaker 1: a much bigger problem. The border is a much more 522 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: dangerous problem. It's a much bigger problem. It's a problem 523 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: of national security. It's a problem of terrorists. You know, 524 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: I talk about human traffickers, I talk about drugs, I 525 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: talk about gangs. But a lot of people don't say 526 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: we have terrorsts coming through the southern border because they 527 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: find that's probably the easiest place to come through. They 528 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: drive right in and they make a left. Not going 529 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: to happen. We will address more of this issue of 530 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: whether terrorists across the border. That we'll do that in 531 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: the next hour.

However, it comes down to border security, 569 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: and we're extremely grateful to President Trump and we fully 570 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: support what he is doing to take care of our 571 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: nation's borders, to take care of the future of this 572 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,280 Speaker 1: United States. It has nothing to do with political parties. 573 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: You all got to ask yourself this question. If I 574 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: come to your home, do you want me to knock 575 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 1: on the front door or do you want me to 576 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: climb through that window. I just want to talk about 577 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: some of those criminals that Border Patulitis apprehend on a 578 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: daily basis. We're talking about murderers, rapists, people that commit 579 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: very serious crimes in this country. ICE has been doing 580 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: an amazing job in deporting a lot of these people 581 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 1: back to their countries. Unfortunately, once we deport these people, 582 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,720 Speaker 1: these people will not stay in their country. These criminal 583 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,839 Speaker 1: aliens that have been released from jail, that have been 584 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 1: deported will come right back into the United States. However, 585 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: we had a physical barrier, if we had a wall, 586 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: we will be able to stop that. These are Border 587 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 1: patrol agents who are saying that they want a wall. 588 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: And as I'm told in the past, border patrol is 589 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: about a third Latino. So here you have an organization 590 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: with a lot of Latino American representation, a law enforcement agency. 591 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: It's trying to do the very critical job of securing 592 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,720 Speaker 1: our border. And yet we are told time and again 593 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: that no one thinks a wall will work. A wall 594 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: won't work. The whole wall thing is non sense. Why 595 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: don't Republicans figure out that nobody wants a wall and 596 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: all of a sudd I mean, it's just lies. That's 597 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: why there's this desperation, because you're being lied to about 598 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: this all the time. And I know, as you think 599 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: about this, you're also well aware of how effective a 600 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: wall would be. You just think about it in your head. 601 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 1: You think about where we have walls on the border. 602 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 1: I know I've been making the case here on this show, 603 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: but it bears repeating. But you know, the wall is 604 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: not the only place where you hear Democrats constantly lying 605 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: to you about what's really happening when it comes to immigration, 606 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: about what the costs are of this. You know, you 607 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: think about how much time and money is spent on 608 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 1: the census and how much the government goes through efforts. 609 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: I mean, a very basic government function is to find 610 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: ways to count and assess the people that live within 611 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: its borders. We don't have good numbers on a legal 612 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,839 Speaker 1: aliens in this country, full stop, we don't, and even 613 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: tells you otherwise does not know what the heck they're 614 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: talking about, based it on Pew survey data on voluntary surveys. 615 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: That's how you think you're gonna find out about people 616 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: breaking the law legally in this country. You know what 617 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 1: if we did a survey about, hey, how many of 618 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: you are wanted felons, and we put out a survey 619 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 1: data on that, do you think we get really accurate 620 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: information on that? I don't think so. The truth is 621 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: the government doesn't really want to know because the data 622 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: would not support this idea that there is nothing but 623 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: upside from immigration, and that anyone who has even the 624 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: slightest concern about immigration is anything other than some vile, 625 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: quasi neo nazi, you know, racist scump, right, which is 626 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: really the underlying the underlying message you get from the 627 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: Democrats when it comes to Republicans on immigration all the time. 628 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: In that sixteen minutes interview with the Kazi Cortez, you know, 629 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: oh oh yeah, Trump is definitely a racist. You know, 630 00:39:53,640 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: this is standard operating slander procedure for the Democrats. But 631 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 1: as I was saying, it's not just the wall where 632 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: they're lying and what they say does not make any sense. 633 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: Here's Governor Jerry Brown. Now, Now, I think I spoke 634 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: last week about Corporal Singh. Now Corporal sing Was, he 635 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: was a simoan legal God. Bless you, Corporal sing and 636 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: your family. Thank you for coming into the country respectfully 637 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: and legally. Honored to have you, and certainly honored to 638 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: have somebody of the stature and courage of Corporal sing 639 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: keeping our streets safe. But you know, Corporal sing Was 640 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: was murdered by an illegal who was also a criminal, 641 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: who had been arrested many times for criminal activity in 642 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: the United States and somehow was never handed over to Immigration, 643 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: the Customs Enforcement and ICE wanted to deport him. But 644 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: even though this guy would get arrested, he never would, 645 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 1: you know, the phone all it takes a phone call. 646 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 1: They would not call ICE. They would not help arrange 647 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: for his deportation because you know California, man, this is 648 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: how they do things out there. Well, Governor Jerry Brown 649 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 1: is feeling a little a little testy about the whole 650 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: sanctuary city situation. And here's what he said, play eighteen. 651 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: That bill was very far reaching, and I trimmed it 652 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: way back against the author against a lot of the 653 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 1: Democrats there. I cut it way back. They're not doing 654 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: all that much, Yes, they're they're arresting a lot of 655 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: people that maybe they shouldn't, but they're letting hundreds of 656 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: thousands of people go unhindered, either because they're not staff 657 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: properly or they just aren't up for it. So I 658 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,239 Speaker 1: think people now are looking to blame somebody because of 659 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: the terrible things had happened, but had nothing to do 660 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: with the law of California. And going forward, there's a 661 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: great ability of the Immigration Service to work with our 662 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: law enforcement authorities if they take the effort and they 663 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: create the protocols to work together. That's a lie. He's 664 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 1: just lying. I mean, there's the governor California lying. He's 665 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: not going to get for pinocchios from the Washington Post 666 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 1: or anything else. But but the law of California is 667 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: explicitly and clearly hostile to federal enforcement of immigration law. 668 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: It's not even that it's not helpful. It is hostile. 669 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: California state law when it comes to immigration and customs 670 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: enforcement is essentially an extended finger from the middle of 671 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: one's hand. That is it. You can be criminally prosecuted 672 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 1: as a private citizen, as a business owner if you 673 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: do too much to help immigrations and customs enforcement. Where 674 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,879 Speaker 1: else do you see that kind of thing happening? Think 675 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: about that. You know, this is the equivalent of passing 676 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: a bad Samaritan law. California when it comes to immigration, 677 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 1: wants bad Samaritans. They want people who don't want to 678 00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: help law enforcement, don't want to help what is right, 679 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: what is legal. They want people who help aid in 680 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 1: a bet illegality, lawlessness. We've got to hold these people 681 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 1: to account, you know. And now there's this whole back 682 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: and forth as well on the on the border and 683 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: terrorists at the border. Here here's you know, because I 684 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: want to take these issue by issue. We got the wall, 685 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: We've got sanctuary cities. Now we've got terrorist infiltration at 686 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,399 Speaker 1: the at the southern border. Is that happening yay or nay? 687 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: Chris Wallace of Fox News, you know, son of the 688 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 1: other famous Wallace on TV. So there's that. He said 689 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: the following to Sarah Hockey Sanders play nineteen and the 690 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 1: State Department says that there is quote their words, no 691 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: credible evidence of any terrorists coming across the border from Mexico. 692 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: We know that roughly nearly four thousand known or suspected 693 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 1: terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that 694 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 1: our most vulnerable point of entry is that I know 695 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 1: the statistic. I didn't know if you're going to use it, 696 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,439 Speaker 1: but I studied up on this. Do you know where 697 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 1: those four thousand people come or where they're captured? Airports? 698 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 1: Not always? Certainly. A department says there hasn't been any 699 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: terrorists that they found coming across it by air. It's 700 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,720 Speaker 1: by land, and it's by sea. It's all of the above. 701 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: The one thing that you're forgetting is that the most 702 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 1: vulnerable point of entry that we have into this country 703 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 1: is our southern border, and we have to protect it. 704 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: And the more they're not coming across the southern border, Sarah, 705 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 1: they're coming, and they're being stopped at air in a 706 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: number of ways. They're certainly, I'm not disagreeing with you 707 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: that they're coming through airports. I'm saying that they come 708 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: by air, by land, and by sea. And the more 709 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: and more that our border becomes vulnerable, and the less 710 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: and less that we spend time and money protecting it, 711 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: the more that we're going to have an influx not 712 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 1: just of terrorists, but of human traffickers, drug and flow 713 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,439 Speaker 1: and people that are coming here to do American citizens harm. 714 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: See this is I will I'm going to be honest 715 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,919 Speaker 1: with you, and then we will run into equip break. 716 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: I'll come back with Thomas Woman's response on this one. 717 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: I don't like the focus on terrorists crossing the border 718 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,959 Speaker 1: in this argument. I think it's I think it's weak. 719 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,319 Speaker 1: That's not to say that terrorists couldn't cross at our 720 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 1: southern border. What it is to say is that if 721 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 1: you are an al Qaeda or a Hesbella operative, there 722 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: are more effective ways to get into the United States, 723 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: and trying to cross at the southern border, for example, 724 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: you know, flying into Canada and crossing at the northern 725 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 1: border would make a whole lot more sense in those situations. Right, So, 726 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: if you're coming from abroad, the reason we got so 727 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: many Mexicans and Central Americans crossing is because they're there, 728 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: they live next door. If you're someone who's traveling here 729 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 1: from Syria, from the Middle East, from wherever, if you 730 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 1: can fly to Mexico, you can fly to Canada. I 731 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 1: don't think it's a particularly efficient way of getting here. 732 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: That said, and also, if you try to cross the 733 00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,919 Speaker 1: southern border, there's a good chance you're gonna get caught. 734 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: The problem we have at the border is that a 735 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,760 Speaker 1: lot of people that are currently showing up at the border, 736 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 1: even the ones that are caught trying to cross illegally, 737 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:13,840 Speaker 1: are abusing this loophole of asylum. Right. So you know, 738 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 1: the truth is that if you're going to come to 739 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: the border and you're going to come in illegally, the 740 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 1: best way to do it, or rather if you're going 741 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: to abuse the system, is not to just try to 742 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 1: sneak in like some superspy, you know, some superspy from 743 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 1: al Qaeda. It would be to come in as a 744 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: family unit and pay somebody even to just say, this 745 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 1: is my wife, these are my children. We're fleeing violence 746 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,879 Speaker 1: in Honduras, and you know, pretend you speak a little 747 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: les Spannole and see if you can get through that 748 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: first screening, because you're gonna get released in the interior 749 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 1: of the United States, and you know you'll be releasing 750 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: the interior than it says. But it's not a particularly 751 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 1: efficient way to infiltrate terrorists into the country. There are 752 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,439 Speaker 1: easier better ways to do it. And if you're talking 753 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: about an operative who's been trained, you know you probably 754 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 1: don't want that person getting caught at the border. That said, 755 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: let's come back in a moment to what Tom Homan says, 756 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: who was who's the former Immigration of Customs Enforcement director 757 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 1: about terrorists at the border, and whether or not Sarah 758 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: Huckaby Sanders was wrong there. Stay with me, I would say, 759 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, you need to love your country a little more. 760 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: And you hate this president. I mean, you got your 761 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 1: number one responsibilities protect the Americans and secure our border. 762 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 1: We have already shown how a wall a barrier can 763 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: be effective. So put politics asiety. Look, this is all politics. 764 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 1: They don't want this president to have a win on 765 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 1: the border. But what they don't understand is the president 766 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: wins on this board issue. American wins. America is more secure, 767 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 1: Less drugs get across, let's guns get across, less illegal immigration. 768 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: And despite what I've seen this weekend on the media, 769 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: terrorists do come across that southern border. I detained them 770 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 1: as a nice director. It has happened, and many more come. 771 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 1: We have a relationship in the Panamanian government. We stopped 772 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: literally hundreds of special interest railings, some with no one 773 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 1: suspected ties of terrorism and Panama that were attempting to 774 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 1: get to Mexico, to our southern border has happened. My 775 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 1: biggest concern is it ain't so much how many terrorists 776 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 1: have been arrested entering the country illegally, how many, how 777 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 1: many got through, how many did Bordal not catch. That's 778 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 1: what American should be thinking about. So I mean, there 779 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 1: you've got an actual expert and not just someone who's 780 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,800 Speaker 1: mouthing off about the border and saying, look, I actually 781 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,880 Speaker 1: detained terrorists, And as I was saying, I believe that 782 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,680 Speaker 1: that has happened too. I just think the much more 783 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,360 Speaker 1: important argument right now is the drug trafficking. The drugs 784 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:29,880 Speaker 1: that are coming to the country. They're killing tens of 785 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,640 Speaker 1: thousands of Americans every year, the human trafficking, the terrible 786 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: misery and enslavement that goes on at the border, and 787 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 1: for those that are brought in this country illegally, what 788 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 1: ends up happening to them, and the sexual exploitation, particularly 789 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 1: of women and young girls as they're trying to get 790 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 1: across the border. And then the burden on communities, and 791 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 1: what illegality just does to this country and what it 792 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,359 Speaker 1: does to rule of law and our political fabric. That's 793 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: where the argument really is for me. Yeah, terrorism is 794 00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: also a possible concern, but I don't even I don't 795 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: think that that's what we should be focusing our energy on, 796 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,839 Speaker 1: um because I think that they're If you look at 797 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,840 Speaker 1: most of the terrorist attacks we've had in this country, 798 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 1: they've been people who were radicalized here in the United States. 799 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 1: And if you're going to come into this country, unless 800 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,400 Speaker 1: you have a background that's going to set off alarms. 801 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 1: If you're going to conduct a terrorist attack, probably gonna 802 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 1: fly here, and there are easier ways to get into 803 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: the country. I'm just saying, I'm trying to, you know, 804 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,839 Speaker 1: think this one through with you, and then you know 805 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 1: you've got you know, one other, one other thing I 806 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 1: wanted to point out here is this this possibility of 807 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:43,839 Speaker 1: a national emergency being declared here in order to get 808 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 1: the wall built. And I know that there's a lot 809 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: of a lot of people are very upset about this prospect, 810 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 1: and we're gonna hear about how Trump is a dictator 811 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 1: and Trump is evil and all that sort of stuff. 812 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 1: You know that you know, that's all coming as a 813 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: result of even Trump bringing up the possibility that he 814 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 1: would use the power of the executive branch to build 815 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 1: a wall. I think that this is where this is 816 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 1: going to head. The best case scenario, as I see it, 817 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 1: would be the President getting some additional funds for the 818 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 1: border in general, and the Democrats will say it's you know, 819 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: it's there are limitations on that funding, and then he's 820 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: probably gonna have to say, Okay, well, I'm going to 821 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to take my power as the commander in 822 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,799 Speaker 1: chief and just start building a wall. And then it 823 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,799 Speaker 1: goes into the courts and we probably find out if 824 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,440 Speaker 1: the President gets his way in the election year, and 825 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,279 Speaker 1: that would be an enormous victory for him politically if 826 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 1: he did get the Supreme Court to back him up 827 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,759 Speaker 1: on it. I think he does have the authority to 828 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,440 Speaker 1: do it, and certainly the White House is saying they do. 829 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: Play Clip twenty. The President is prepared to do what 830 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,320 Speaker 1: it takes to protect our borders, to protect the people 831 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: of this country. He knows that the number one job 832 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 1: he has as president and commander in chief is to 833 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 1: protect its citizens. Because that he has the authority to 834 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,680 Speaker 1: build the wall with funds that we're appropriated for the 835 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 1: military construction without congressional approval. As we've said for the 836 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 1: last several weeks. We're looking and exploring every option available 837 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: that the president has a viable option. Whatever action he 838 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,719 Speaker 1: takes will certainly be lawful, and we're looking at every 839 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,280 Speaker 1: option we can. This is something the President takes incredibly seriously, 840 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,919 Speaker 1: is very passionate about, and it's not going to stop 841 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 1: until he figures out the best way to make sure 842 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 1: we're doing everything we can to make America safer and 843 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,640 Speaker 1: more secure. I think it sounds like the President's going 844 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 1: to go for it. I think it's a very good 845 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 1: chance that, you know, he decides that enough is enough, 846 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 1: and you know, to end this shutdown, you know, the 847 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,239 Speaker 1: shutdown is to end the shutdown, he'll probably take some 848 00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,400 Speaker 1: kind of a some kind of a bargaining share from 849 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 1: the Democrats. Democrats even think that they just have all 850 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,399 Speaker 1: the high ground here. I'm not so sure about that. 851 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 1: Meaning that Trump is, as I've said all along, here, 852 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,480 Speaker 1: he's the X factor in this whole scenario. The President's 853 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:17,239 Speaker 1: ability to go out there and make his case to 854 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 1: the American people about why a border wall would be 855 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 1: so helpful, why a border wall is necessary for our security. 856 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 1: That's what's different now from what existed in the past. 857 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 1: That's what we've never had before. We've never had a 858 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:39,400 Speaker 1: president who was in a position or who was willing, 859 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,439 Speaker 1: never mind in a position to take on the meeting 860 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,399 Speaker 1: area it had up until this point. And I think 861 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,800 Speaker 1: we're on the second longest shutdown ever right now. Already, 862 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:52,200 Speaker 1: up to this point, it had been that the assumption 863 00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 1: built into when he shutdown was Republicans will get blamed. 864 00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 1: And now you see a hold on a second, Why 865 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 1: Democrats so in transigent If it really is just about 866 00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,560 Speaker 1: this one point of funding for the border wall, who 867 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 1: are the American people really with Why do the Democrats 868 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 1: assume they have some kind of mandate to protect or 869 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 1: to prevent Trump from getting this issue done for the 870 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,239 Speaker 1: American people? Play Steve Scalise gets this play clip five. 871 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 1: The President is shown he's willing to sit down and 872 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,759 Speaker 1: talk and try to reach an agreement. I know our 873 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,640 Speaker 1: teams have been meeting all throughout the weekend to try 874 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,840 Speaker 1: to find some common ground. If Democrats really want to 875 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 1: work with us to get the government back open again, 876 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,160 Speaker 1: they've also got to recognize that border security is at 877 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:39,359 Speaker 1: the heart of this. Border security ease at the heart 878 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 1: of this and just because President Trump is for something 879 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,839 Speaker 1: does not mean Democrats it's a bad idea. They love 880 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,440 Speaker 1: to think that, they love to pretend that that's the case, 881 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 1: but it is not true. It is just simply not true. 882 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,840 Speaker 1: The border wall would help, and it is a good idea. 883 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 1: It is a worthy expenditure of our tax dollars. And 884 00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 1: Trump is not looking like he's going to back off 885 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,439 Speaker 1: on this. So I'm pleased to say that so far 886 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 1: the GOP, really Trump has been willing to stay in 887 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:19,640 Speaker 1: this fight and stay all the way, which is somewhat reassuring. 888 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 1: It's not over yet. He certainly hasn't won, but at 889 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,719 Speaker 1: least they didn't. At least Trump didn't just cave on this, which, 890 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,720 Speaker 1: as you know, I was going to be very unhappy about. 891 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,479 Speaker 1: When your son looks at you and says, Mama, look 892 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: you won. Bullies don't win, And I said, baby, they 893 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 1: talk because we're gonna go in there. We're gonna impeach them. 894 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 1: I stand by impeaching the president of the United States. 895 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: I ran on that obviously. You know, I am a 896 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 1: member of Congress, and things that I say is elevated 897 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 1: on the national level, and I understand that very clearly, 898 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,839 Speaker 1: President United States is my focus at the residents back home, 899 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,360 Speaker 1: and my focus President Trump is messaging, not his match. 900 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:07,319 Speaker 1: Rashida Talib, who last week called the President United States 901 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 1: and m f R, says that she totally stands by 902 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,919 Speaker 1: the principle or the idea she was espousing. And yeah, 903 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 1: she knows that her words can be a big deal, 904 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:22,720 Speaker 1: but that's just what that is. That's a non apology apology, folks. Yes, 905 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:30,400 Speaker 1: he has no interest whatsoever, no interest in stepping back 906 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,960 Speaker 1: from what was one of the ugliest things said in 907 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,520 Speaker 1: public by a sitting member of Congress I've ever heard. 908 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 1: And keep in mind that if any Republican member of 909 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,160 Speaker 1: Congress had said that about President Obama, I don't care 910 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 1: how new the person was, I don't care you know, 911 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,440 Speaker 1: what the context of their feelings in the moment were 912 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 1: or whatever. If any Republican member of Congress had said 913 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:58,400 Speaker 1: that during Obama's time in office, they would have been hounded, hectored, 914 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 1: and threatened until that person resigned, not apologized, resigned. This 915 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,160 Speaker 1: is part of why we know that we just we 916 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:14,440 Speaker 1: cannot trust, we cannot trust the media to be fair. 917 00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's always hard to say I 918 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,360 Speaker 1: can't trust the media. To be fair. Arbiter, isn't this No, 919 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 1: of course not. It's it's utterly preposterous. But you know, 920 00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,759 Speaker 1: she also provided a I think a worthwhile service in 921 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: that we know that the Democrats are going to try 922 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 1: and impeach the president. I mean, they're going to impeach him, 923 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,360 Speaker 1: but the House is going to do impeachment, and I 924 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,319 Speaker 1: think enough Democrats will go along with it that the 925 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,279 Speaker 1: articles of impeachment will go through and you'll have an 926 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 1: impeached president who is not removed from office. And it's 927 00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 1: a joke that I'll ever get through the Senate. And 928 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,920 Speaker 1: we'll have to see if that taints him enough that 929 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 1: they can hoodwink the American people into letting you know, 930 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,239 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris or Biden at the rings. You know, I'm 931 00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:59,440 Speaker 1: gonna tell you something, Biden. Biden is not the candidate 932 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 1: that a lot of you know people forget. Uh. You 933 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:09,000 Speaker 1: know that Biden was really a third tier a third 934 00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:15,920 Speaker 1: tier guy in the presidential race. And you know, Biden 935 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 1: was a candidate who was I mean back before he 936 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,640 Speaker 1: obviously was Obama's running made you know, he was somebody 937 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 1: who was in the in the conversation alongside such leading 938 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:36,880 Speaker 1: nights as Kucinich UM. And then you have another issue 939 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,240 Speaker 1: here for Biden. I would note that if the impeachment 940 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 1: comes up, and that is you know, there is this 941 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 1: story out there, and I don't know if it is verified. 942 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 1: I have heard it, and it has been it has 943 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,920 Speaker 1: been printed as printed here in the New York Post. 944 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:58,520 Speaker 1: But there's a story that the widow of Joe Biden's son, 945 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 1: Boe Biden, is now romantically involved with Hunter Biden, the 946 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 1: former Vice president's younger son. That is not something that 947 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: I think the if that is true, that is not 948 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:20,200 Speaker 1: something that the American people, I think, will will look 949 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:24,800 Speaker 1: kindly on. And also I think that the UM I 950 00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,960 Speaker 1: think that they want to avoid that story getting hashed 951 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,240 Speaker 1: out in the media. And I will just leave I 952 00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:34,320 Speaker 1: will leave it at that for now. I just think 953 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 1: that Biden is a much weaker candidate than people realize 954 00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 1: for for many many reasons. Anyway, that all said, they 955 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 1: are really planning to go hard and heavy after President 956 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 1: after President Trump, with this whole lunatic impeachment proceeding, and 957 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,880 Speaker 1: it's all gonna be based on the you know, the 958 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,360 Speaker 1: end of the Mueller probe. And you know, I mean, 959 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 1: I think Mueller actually had a guy on today on 960 00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,400 Speaker 1: rising who's been who's on the Star investigation back in 961 00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 1: the day. He thinks it's gonna go for all of 962 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. The Muller probe is not even close to done. 963 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 1: I think he's right. I think people think it's about 964 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,680 Speaker 1: to wrap up or way overestimating the speed and the 965 00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,240 Speaker 1: pressure that Mueller feels on all this to get it 966 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 1: done quickly. Um. I mean, here's here's what Adam Schiff 967 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,080 Speaker 1: had to say about about Mueller's give I mean shift 968 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,880 Speaker 1: is he's a truly what's that fund where we'd like 969 00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:44,560 Speaker 1: to say Oleaginus's lately there's just something very obviously dis 970 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, dishonest, untakable. It's not He's not a 971 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,760 Speaker 1: good guy. Here's what Schiff says Aboutmueller Play seven. We 972 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,040 Speaker 1: hope as one of our first acts, to make the 973 00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,680 Speaker 1: transcripts of our witnesses fully available to Specially Council for 974 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,720 Speaker 1: any purpose, including the bringing a perjury charges if necessary, 975 01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,040 Speaker 1: against any of the witnesses, but also to see the 976 01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,720 Speaker 1: evidence that they contain and help flesh out the picture 977 01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 1: for the Special Counsel. You know they're going to just 978 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,880 Speaker 1: take upon themselves to make this a whole political fight. 979 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:20,360 Speaker 1: And the problem with them all a probe from the 980 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 1: beginning is that it's always been political. So really that 981 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,400 Speaker 1: the work that the House will be doing isn't even 982 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:31,120 Speaker 1: a handoff, it's a it's a kind of a cooperative 983 01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,320 Speaker 1: effort with Muller, because this is all a get Trump 984 01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,920 Speaker 1: operation and it's political, it's not when it comes to 985 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 1: the president, it's not really criminal. I mean, there's no one, 986 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,360 Speaker 1: there's no one I know who can incredibly asserts that 987 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:47,440 Speaker 1: President Trump himself had anything to do with collision to Russia. 988 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean, people that still say that are just living 989 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 1: in a fantasy. They're not they're not reasonable, they're not 990 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:58,280 Speaker 1: able to be reached by logic, and so it's really 991 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,040 Speaker 1: it's really difficult to talk to them about these issues 992 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:05,480 Speaker 1: because they're obviously living off in some other, far, far 993 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:09,880 Speaker 1: far away place. But I do think that Schiff and 994 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 1: these others are going to drag us all through Muller 995 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 1: Part two in a sense. Right, there's gonna be all 996 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,080 Speaker 1: these hearings and they're gonna do everything they can to 997 01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 1: make the new cycle about Trump's shady associates and gonna 998 01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,040 Speaker 1: talk more about Michael Colin. The good thing is that 999 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:29,160 Speaker 1: this stuff is boring. It's not going to be able 1000 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,920 Speaker 1: to hold the attention of normal Americans very much. And 1001 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 1: so that's where I think that there's there's gonna be 1002 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,640 Speaker 1: greater challenges than a lot of the Democrats realize. It's 1003 01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,080 Speaker 1: just not that interesting to hear them talk about how 1004 01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,880 Speaker 1: you know, Papadopolis under oath or General Flynn led under 1005 01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,439 Speaker 1: oroath like this. This is not a We've been through 1006 01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,040 Speaker 1: this already and there's nothing more for them to do. 1007 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 1: They've already gotten as many process crimes as they can 1008 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 1: gin up here. They've they've already gotten as many people 1009 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:03,360 Speaker 1: nailed on technicalities and little level stuff. And we know 1010 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,880 Speaker 1: that this is all just about creating some kind of 1011 01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:10,960 Speaker 1: a an impeachment dosier, if you will. And Republicans are 1012 01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,960 Speaker 1: going to fight back on I don't know how effectively, 1013 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 1: but you know, Peter King, he's gonna be I'm sure 1014 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna be frisky on this place. Six. I think 1015 01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,800 Speaker 1: it's wrong, really wrong to be casually using a word 1016 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: like impeachment. I mean, you're talking about undoing a national election, 1017 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,360 Speaker 1: presidential election, which really is the ultimate in democracy, that 1018 01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:33,120 Speaker 1: election that four year election is most important thing we 1019 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,680 Speaker 1: do as American citizens to undo that because some people 1020 01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:43,480 Speaker 1: don't like someone, it's wrong. Yep. We do not have 1021 01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,920 Speaker 1: recalls for presidents. This is the Democrat. This whole Muller 1022 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 1: probe is really a Democrat's effort at at a recall election, 1023 01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:55,840 Speaker 1: at trying to undo what was done, and it's I think, 1024 01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,880 Speaker 1: really pulling the country apart in a lot of ways. 1025 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:04,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's done probably irreparable damage to 1026 01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,760 Speaker 1: our politics for a long time to come, because people 1027 01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:12,680 Speaker 1: realize that this is you know, this is not about 1028 01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:17,200 Speaker 1: just opposing someone's ideas. I mean, they want payback, and 1029 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it's limited to just Trump. I think 1030 01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 1: they want payback against Trump supporters too, which means that 1031 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,080 Speaker 1: you get ready for what they're going to try to pull. 1032 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 1: Once they start having these hearings and the Congress gets going, 1033 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:33,720 Speaker 1: it's it is going to be nasty. Jimmy Carl I 1034 01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 1: never had a Supreme Court vacancy to fill, but there 1035 01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 1: is an existing vacancy, and then President Trump will will 1036 01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:48,080 Speaker 1: fill it, then perhaps Congress will do some work. One 1037 01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:51,520 Speaker 1: of the reasons why the Court hasn't had as many 1038 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:58,160 Speaker 1: petitions as usual is that there hasn't been any legislative activity. 1039 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:04,560 Speaker 1: So that's Ruth Vader Ginsburg there. And you may have heard. 1040 01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 1: I mean, this is much a much bigger news item 1041 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:12,080 Speaker 1: in most liberal circles than it is among well the 1042 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,400 Speaker 1: general public. I mean, if you're a far lefty, this 1043 01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:19,280 Speaker 1: is something of a of a panic moment. But RBG, 1044 01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,000 Speaker 1: as she has known, and there's something of accult around 1045 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:28,440 Speaker 1: this particular Supreme Court justice. There is a not just 1046 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:33,600 Speaker 1: a reverence but a an almost media obsession with Ruth 1047 01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:38,840 Speaker 1: Bader Ginsberg. She missed oral arguments for the first time 1048 01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:43,280 Speaker 1: in over twenty five years, as she is recuperating from 1049 01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:48,160 Speaker 1: cancer surgery. First things first, anybody who's recuperating from cancer 1050 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:53,880 Speaker 1: surgery deserves our you know, yes, that's right, thoughts and prayers, 1051 01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:57,800 Speaker 1: I mean, deserves our well wishes and as as decent 1052 01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:02,760 Speaker 1: human beings. We put human decency ahead of the political 1053 01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,480 Speaker 1: speculation and all the rest of it that that can 1054 01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:10,240 Speaker 1: often be involved in the Supreme Court situations of a 1055 01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,640 Speaker 1: possible vacancy. Right, So first and foremost is you know, 1056 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 1: speedy recovery for Justice Ginsburg. But the panic that you 1057 01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:25,880 Speaker 1: see from a lot of liberals around this Ginsburg health concern, 1058 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:29,120 Speaker 1: which is very real hot recovering from lung cancer. And 1059 01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 1: this is a very very serious period of time for 1060 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:38,320 Speaker 1: a woman who is eighty five years old. You know, 1061 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,920 Speaker 1: she's eighty five and she's dealing with very very serious 1062 01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:45,760 Speaker 1: health issues. And you know what I think we're we're 1063 01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:53,280 Speaker 1: heading to. Um you know, is this this position where 1064 01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:59,320 Speaker 1: if Ginsburg is really not physically able to do the job, 1065 01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,760 Speaker 1: you may have liberals. And again I don't I'm not 1066 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,720 Speaker 1: saying even that if she is, you know, heaven forbid, 1067 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,000 Speaker 1: if you know, if her time comes, I just mean, 1068 01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 1: if she's too sick to really be able to hold 1069 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:15,560 Speaker 1: the role of a Supreme Court justice, there's going to 1070 01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 1: be immense pressure on her and people running around in 1071 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:25,600 Speaker 1: the overall legal system who are going to be saying, well, 1072 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,640 Speaker 1: she has to stay and we'll find a way to 1073 01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 1: make we'll find a way to make this work. You know, essentially, 1074 01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 1: she will be a Supreme Court justice who is working 1075 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:42,120 Speaker 1: through other people to keep that seat. Liberal is really 1076 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 1: what this is. So even if she's unable to do 1077 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 1: the job, and therefore, as Kennedy did, should step down 1078 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 1: from the job. Because Trump is president as long as 1079 01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:59,680 Speaker 1: Justice Ginsburg, you know, as long as she is still alive, 1080 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:02,960 Speaker 1: does not matter what her health condition is. I think 1081 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 1: you will see a push to keep her in this role, 1082 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,640 Speaker 1: which is which, on the one hand, just goes to 1083 01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,480 Speaker 1: show you that there's this there is a weird fixation 1084 01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,960 Speaker 1: on Ginsberg, in particular from the left. They have a 1085 01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 1: movie coming out and you know, they've I know, they 1086 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:20,520 Speaker 1: do this a lot in Hollywood. You know, they've cast 1087 01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,080 Speaker 1: some stunningly beautiful British actress to play Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 1088 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:27,920 Speaker 1: and you know, and it's all about how she's brilliant 1089 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,920 Speaker 1: and beautiful and perfect and wonderful, and overcame all the 1090 01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,640 Speaker 1: sexism and everything else. You know. Meanwhile, I think she 1091 01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,480 Speaker 1: was chief counsel at one point for the ACLU, Right, 1092 01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 1: So if you want to talk about somebody who's very 1093 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 1: it was very political before she took the job. I mean, 1094 01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,840 Speaker 1: you might as well. You might as well hire somebody 1095 01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,760 Speaker 1: from move on dot Org to be the which is 1096 01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:51,600 Speaker 1: one of the most detestable organizations in the country, to 1097 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:56,439 Speaker 1: be a Supreme Court justice. And you know, there's also 1098 01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:58,680 Speaker 1: all this stuff about her workout routine. You get to 1099 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:00,480 Speaker 1: televise if it's eighty five or woman, we have to 1100 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,440 Speaker 1: watch her doing planks. Really, the answer is yes, they 1101 01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:05,920 Speaker 1: do these you know, see an animal do these clips 1102 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,680 Speaker 1: and oh, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But they're turning her into 1103 01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 1: a folk hero, and they have been doing it for 1104 01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:16,240 Speaker 1: a while because they're going to need a unified and 1105 01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 1: very emotional front to prop her up until at least 1106 01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 1: they have a shot of a Democrat taking office. Because 1107 01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 1: I don't think that you know, John Roberts is not 1108 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:35,679 Speaker 1: a is not a real conservative vote on the court. 1109 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, John Roberts is an institutionalist. He puts the 1110 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:45,240 Speaker 1: Supreme Court as a body above constitutional principles, and so 1111 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,519 Speaker 1: I don't think that, you know, when they keep saying, oh, 1112 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be five to four now 1113 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 1: because of Cavanaugh, it's really a four four plus one 1114 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,920 Speaker 1: situation again. And Roberts is the swing vote, and he's 1115 01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,920 Speaker 1: maybe a little more conservative than Kennedy, but not that 1116 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,680 Speaker 1: much more conservative. But if Ginsburg were not still in 1117 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,880 Speaker 1: that role and Trump were able to and I'm almost 1118 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:09,360 Speaker 1: sure for obvious reasons and given what happened last time, 1119 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:14,160 Speaker 1: it would be a woman. But if you know, they 1120 01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,720 Speaker 1: would nominate a woman, and people have already been talking about, 1121 01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 1: you know, Amy Coney Barrett is the most likely candidate 1122 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,799 Speaker 1: that people talk about. Then you would have a solid 1123 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 1: conservative majority on the court. And you know, liberals right now, 1124 01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:37,680 Speaker 1: there are very few liberals that can even remember a 1125 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 1: time when, especially on social issues and on many of 1126 01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:45,800 Speaker 1: the issues that have really been the most you know, 1127 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:50,320 Speaker 1: the most emotional for progressives, they haven't known that at 1128 01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:51,559 Speaker 1: the end of the day, they're going to get their 1129 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,559 Speaker 1: way at the Supreme Court. And you stretch back in time, 1130 01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,480 Speaker 1: but you know, you try to think of the conservative 1131 01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,759 Speaker 1: victories at the court. What of the I mean, yeah, DCV. 1132 01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,639 Speaker 1: But that's a very limited All a DCV. Heller said, 1133 01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:05,240 Speaker 1: is essentially you can entirely invalidate the Second Amendment in 1134 01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,880 Speaker 1: band guns in private ownership. That's really what it says. 1135 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:12,519 Speaker 1: There's still a ton of undecided our assault can assault 1136 01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:14,439 Speaker 1: rifles which is not really a term, I know, but 1137 01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,040 Speaker 1: you know, can semi automatic rifles under state or federal 1138 01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,160 Speaker 1: lawby banned just because they look scary. You know, There's 1139 01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 1: all these other things. But the panic that you will 1140 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,439 Speaker 1: see from liberals over the prospect of the loss of 1141 01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,280 Speaker 1: Ruth Bader Ginsburg is going to be a sight to behold. 1142 01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a person, this is a a 1143 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,840 Speaker 1: figure now in the left that they view as an 1144 01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 1: essential part of really the progressive identity of the Democratic 1145 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,519 Speaker 1: Party in this country. I mean they think that Ruth 1146 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:49,600 Speaker 1: Bader Ginsburg is one of the shining lights of the 1147 01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:54,960 Speaker 1: transformational Democrats socialist left. And that means that if she 1148 01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:57,920 Speaker 1: goes and let's just assume that means she steps aside 1149 01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,200 Speaker 1: to go, you know, write her memoirs or something. But 1150 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,880 Speaker 1: if she no longer holds office, this country will be 1151 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:08,160 Speaker 1: plunged into a fight that will even outdo Cavanaugh in 1152 01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,920 Speaker 1: terms of its ferocity, which I don't know what that 1153 01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 1: will look like or how that will sound. I just 1154 01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:15,040 Speaker 1: know that it's going to get really ugly, and it 1155 01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,240 Speaker 1: might even be in the election year, So get ready 1156 01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:22,680 Speaker 1: for that. The left loves to wine. Oh man, they 1157 01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,320 Speaker 1: need trigger warnings. They're worried about toxic masculinity. They need 1158 01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 1: safe spaces. Why would anybody be such a big winer. 1159 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,080 Speaker 1: Maybe they just need some delicious black rifle coffee. I 1160 01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,120 Speaker 1: got an idea. I think that would probably settle them 1161 01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,519 Speaker 1: down a bit right.

The American Psychological Association 1174 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:29,360 Speaker 1: is just like the American Bar Association, dominated by libs 1175 01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 1: and liberalism. I've told you this I think before. But 1176 01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:40,719 Speaker 1: when they break down by specialty, the most conservative versus 1177 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:46,800 Speaker 1: the most liberal mds, the most conservative mds are surgeons. 1178 01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:50,559 Speaker 1: In fact, surgeons tend to be the most conservative. The 1179 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:58,760 Speaker 1: most liberal medical practitioners with mds out there are overwhelmingly psychiatrists. 1180 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:03,880 Speaker 1: It's that guy shrinks are a bunch of commies, not 1181 01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,799 Speaker 1: all of them, a lot of them. And the American 1182 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:11,920 Speaker 1: Psychological Association is left leaning, to say the least. But 1183 01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:15,719 Speaker 1: this report that I saw that just came out today 1184 01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:20,800 Speaker 1: in their their January edition here, So this is sort 1185 01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:23,120 Speaker 1: of a trade publication for the APA. But you know 1186 01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:28,400 Speaker 1: the APA is if you're in the psychological treatment and 1187 01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:32,040 Speaker 1: analysis field, I guess it's kind of a big deal. 1188 01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:39,479 Speaker 1: The APA has released its guidelines for the first time 1189 01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:44,360 Speaker 1: ever to help psychologists work with men and boys. This 1190 01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:49,080 Speaker 1: is from the report. Quote at first blush, this may 1191 01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:55,640 Speaker 1: seem unnecessary. For decades psychology focused on men. As of 1192 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,720 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, ninety five percent of chief operating officers at 1193 01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:02,960 Speaker 1: Fortune five hundred companies were men. According to a twenty 1194 01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:06,759 Speaker 1: seventeen analysis, in sixteen of the top companies, eighty percent 1195 01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:10,360 Speaker 1: of all high ranking executives were mail. Meanwhile, the one 1196 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:13,360 Speaker 1: hundred and fifteenth Congress, which began in twenty seventeen, eighty 1197 01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:16,160 Speaker 1: one percent of Congress and we're mail, But something is 1198 01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:20,479 Speaker 1: a miss for men. Men commit ninety percent of homicides 1199 01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:22,640 Speaker 1: in the United States and represent seventy seven percent of 1200 01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:27,040 Speaker 1: homicide victims. They're the most most at risk demographic group 1201 01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,519 Speaker 1: when it comes to violent crime. There are three point 1202 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,720 Speaker 1: five times more likely than women to die by suicide 1203 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,040 Speaker 1: and a life expectancy is four point nine years shorter. 1204 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:42,560 Speaker 1: This piece has the headline, research finds that traditional masculinity 1205 01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:47,920 Speaker 1: is on the whole harmful. That's right, my friends. Toxic 1206 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:56,719 Speaker 1: masculinity a term popularized by progressive left wing activists for 1207 01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:02,720 Speaker 1: ultra feminists who really have a a deep hostility to men. 1208 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:11,240 Speaker 1: That term of toxic masculinity has now transitioned feel pardon 1209 01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:18,280 Speaker 1: the phrase, transitioned into official medical guidance. We are being 1210 01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:21,680 Speaker 1: told now that men being men is in fact a 1211 01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:27,280 Speaker 1: bad thing that men who take the approach here, I 1212 01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:30,439 Speaker 1: can even tell you what the traits are. You might 1213 01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:34,640 Speaker 1: be saying, well, buck, how do they define masculinity? Do 1214 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:39,360 Speaker 1: they define masculinity as you know, violence and rape culture 1215 01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:43,960 Speaker 1: and bad things like that. Well, no, they define tradition, 1216 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:48,160 Speaker 1: they define and remember this is a medical a national 1217 01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:52,320 Speaker 1: medical journal that's putting out guidance for all psychologists now 1218 01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:55,720 Speaker 1: to deal with men and boys, to essentially tell them 1219 01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,760 Speaker 1: or to find ways to work with them such that 1220 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:05,519 Speaker 1: they will not be more hyper masculine or or more 1221 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:11,640 Speaker 1: traditionally masculine. The way that they define masculinity is by 1222 01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:20,240 Speaker 1: is through quote stoicism, competitiveness, dominance, and aggression, which the 1223 01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:28,040 Speaker 1: APA research finds is on the whole harmful. And researchers 1224 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:31,599 Speaker 1: led by a PhD at Boston College found the more 1225 01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:35,639 Speaker 1: men conformed to masculine norms, the more likely they were 1226 01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:40,320 Speaker 1: to consider as normal risky behaviors such as heavy drinking, 1227 01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:47,240 Speaker 1: using tobacco, and avoiding vegetables. That's actually in this John, 1228 01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,000 Speaker 1: did you know that if you're a hyper masculine you 1229 01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:55,719 Speaker 1: might avoid vegetables. So the reason the reason that I 1230 01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:58,840 Speaker 1: push the green beans around how my plate instead of 1231 01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,240 Speaker 1: eating them is because I've just got too much TESTOSTERONEO. 1232 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:08,240 Speaker 1: Because a lift broactually is yeah, as everybody is. Everybody 1233 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,599 Speaker 1: who actually works out unlike me these days, knows you 1234 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:14,400 Speaker 1: want to eat cruciferous vegetables and it's very important for you. 1235 01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:17,479 Speaker 1: But nonetheless, but they say they you avoid vegetables and 1236 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,920 Speaker 1: you drink heavily if you're hyper masculine. So being a 1237 01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:23,360 Speaker 1: man is now you know, being a man is now bad? 1238 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:27,639 Speaker 1: Or rather being a man who has traditionally masculine traits 1239 01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,280 Speaker 1: is now bad. Now. I have so many thoughts here. 1240 01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 1: I mean, for one, I could almost, you know, feel 1241 01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,400 Speaker 1: the estrogen rising in me as I read through this. 1242 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:39,880 Speaker 1: You know, I feel myself just like, ooh, I don't 1243 01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,639 Speaker 1: want to be too masculine as I read through this. Uh, 1244 01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:49,120 Speaker 1: this is really toxic stuff for society because the truth is, 1245 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:55,160 Speaker 1: these masculine traits of competitiveness, dominance, aggression. These are civilization 1246 01:17:55,280 --> 01:18:00,320 Speaker 1: movers over time. You know, the reason that many of us, Yeah, 1247 01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,080 Speaker 1: we cooperate and we are kind to each other, we 1248 01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 1: abide by the laws. But one of the main reasons 1249 01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 1: that we get up out of bed the more, I mean, 1250 01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:09,200 Speaker 1: the reason that I get out of bed and do 1251 01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 1: different jobs and you know, don't weigh two thousand pounds 1252 01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:16,280 Speaker 1: and just sit around eating, you know, massive mountains of 1253 01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:19,639 Speaker 1: Doritos with sour cream dip all day, which sounds kind 1254 01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,200 Speaker 1: of amazing as I say it out loud. Is because 1255 01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,000 Speaker 1: I would like to try to achieve, and I would 1256 01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:31,160 Speaker 1: like to have a female mate, and I'd like to 1257 01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:33,160 Speaker 1: have a family and be able to support the family. 1258 01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:38,000 Speaker 1: But competitiveness, dominance, aggression, these are all traits that you 1259 01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:42,400 Speaker 1: need to have to be out there and to go hunt, essentially, 1260 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:45,800 Speaker 1: and men are hardwired to think that way and to 1261 01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,360 Speaker 1: be that way. It's not just it's not just cultural. 1262 01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:51,280 Speaker 1: In fact, the cultural aspect of it is pretty small. 1263 01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,760 Speaker 1: It's much more about the biology of who we are. 1264 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,559 Speaker 1: I mean, testosterone and estrogen and the levels thereof are 1265 01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:05,960 Speaker 1: very important indicators for temperament, for behavior. And that you 1266 01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:09,519 Speaker 1: have a medical journal here that's pretending like the science 1267 01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:13,160 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter, it's all sociology just goes to show 1268 01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:17,080 Speaker 1: you how much the Left is corrupting science all the 1269 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:21,599 Speaker 1: time in the name of social justice. And now toxic 1270 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:26,639 Speaker 1: masculinity is being treated as almost a condition that must 1271 01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:31,439 Speaker 1: be treated, or masculinity in general is a condition that 1272 01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:34,880 Speaker 1: must be treated. Meanwhile, you know, we've got to teach 1273 01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:36,439 Speaker 1: our boys to be boys. They can grow up to 1274 01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,599 Speaker 1: be men who are actually men. And if we lose 1275 01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 1: that as a society, you know, Heaven help us when 1276 01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,840 Speaker 1: the big war comes. Because it's not too far off. 1277 01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:50,559 Speaker 1: I got more common teams.

It is not 1299 01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:06,760 Speaker 1: something you should feel the need to read. It is. 1300 01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:09,040 Speaker 1: It is the closest thing that I know of to 1301 01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:15,240 Speaker 1: woke dot com. As in left wing progressive woke politics, 1302 01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:19,400 Speaker 1: they do a lot of these voxplainers where they tell 1303 01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:21,720 Speaker 1: young progressives who don't want to actually have to do 1304 01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:25,360 Speaker 1: much in the way of heavy lifting and reading, to 1305 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:29,040 Speaker 1: think a certain way about a certain thing and provide 1306 01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 1: them with facts that support that narrative while pretending like 1307 01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:36,360 Speaker 1: the other side has no facts, has no narrative, and 1308 01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:40,360 Speaker 1: it's just a bunch of big, mean, misogynist racists. But 1309 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:45,280 Speaker 1: I thought this was very interesting because we're talking about socialism, 1310 01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:48,080 Speaker 1: and obviously healthcare and socialism in the context of our 1311 01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:51,439 Speaker 1: political discussion go right together. And you know, you hear 1312 01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:55,880 Speaker 1: people always speaking anecdotally about Oh, I know people that 1313 01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,360 Speaker 1: love their Obamacare plan. Meanwhile, I know people would say 1314 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:01,760 Speaker 1: their Obamacare plan is terrible, and I mean I can 1315 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:03,840 Speaker 1: tell you that, you know, I would say right now, 1316 01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:08,479 Speaker 1: I have a few different choices of healthcare plan because 1317 01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:13,679 Speaker 1: I have a few different employers, and I am very 1318 01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:18,000 Speaker 1: not pleased with the healthcare situation that I have right now. 1319 01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:21,599 Speaker 1: So I can tell you that much. And I've gone 1320 01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:23,280 Speaker 1: without health I was. I was somebody in my twenties 1321 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:24,920 Speaker 1: who went without healthcare for a while and had a 1322 01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:27,920 Speaker 1: couple of incidents, and so you know, I've I've been 1323 01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:30,320 Speaker 1: through the I've been through the mix on this. You know, 1324 01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:32,839 Speaker 1: I know what it's like to be in that office 1325 01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:34,960 Speaker 1: when you're like, oh my gosh, I really can't afford this, 1326 01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:36,760 Speaker 1: and then you realize I don't take your insurance. But 1327 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:38,559 Speaker 1: you also realize you don't want to be sick anymore. 1328 01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:42,760 Speaker 1: So I've dealt with this in many different levels, but 1329 01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:44,880 Speaker 1: I can tell you. So. So here's here's what it. 1330 01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:48,599 Speaker 1: This piece on vox, here's what it says, all right. 1331 01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:53,479 Speaker 1: On April third, Nina Dang, twenty four, found herself in 1332 01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 1: a position like so many San Francisco bike riders, on 1333 01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:01,719 Speaker 1: the pavement with a broken arm. Astander saw her fall 1334 01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:06,080 Speaker 1: and called an ambulance. She was semi lucid for that ride, 1335 01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:11,000 Speaker 1: awake but unable to answer basic questions about where she lived. 1336 01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,720 Speaker 1: Paramedics took her to the emergency room at Zuckerberg San 1337 01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:18,519 Speaker 1: Francisco General Hospital, where doctors X rayed her arm and 1338 01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:22,479 Speaker 1: took a CT scan of her brain and spine. She 1339 01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:24,679 Speaker 1: left her with her arm and a splint, on pain 1340 01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,680 Speaker 1: medication and with a recommendation to follow up with an orthopedist. 1341 01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:32,200 Speaker 1: A few months later, Dan got a bill for twenty 1342 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:37,639 Speaker 1: four thousand, seventy four dollars and fifty cents Blue Cross. 1343 01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:41,000 Speaker 1: Her health insurer would only cover three thousand, eight hundred 1344 01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:43,960 Speaker 1: and thirty dollars and seventy nine cents of that, an 1345 01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,639 Speaker 1: amount that a thought was fair for the services provided. 1346 01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:50,639 Speaker 1: That left Dang with twenty thousand, two hundred and forty 1347 01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,280 Speaker 1: three dollars and seventy one cents to pay, which the 1348 01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:57,240 Speaker 1: hospital threatened to send to collections in mid December. Now, 1349 01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:00,439 Speaker 1: there's a very important reason I'm telling you this story. Rather, 1350 01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 1: there's one big, big takeaway that is in fact buried 1351 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:09,240 Speaker 1: in this piece. See Vox is telling you because there's 1352 01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:12,839 Speaker 1: a left wing site. They're telling you this story because 1353 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:16,120 Speaker 1: they you know, it's another horror story of oh, these big, 1354 01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:20,080 Speaker 1: mean hospitals that had this bizarre and by the way, 1355 01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:23,920 Speaker 1: hospitals do have bizarre building practices, and they do. But 1356 01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:25,760 Speaker 1: but there's there are reasons for it, and I want 1357 01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:27,800 Speaker 1: to get I want to get to the reason for it. 1358 01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:33,800 Speaker 1: But Vox sees this as corporate hospital greed meets a 1359 01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:38,200 Speaker 1: need for medicare for all. Right, that if this were Sweden, 1360 01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:40,320 Speaker 1: you'd go in broken arm, they'd fix it. You don't 1361 01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:42,880 Speaker 1: even pay anything, right, I mean, that's that's what the 1362 01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:46,320 Speaker 1: left is pushing for. What they don't want you to 1363 01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:51,920 Speaker 1: pay attention to is and and this is buried in 1364 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:58,719 Speaker 1: this piece is the following Zuckerberg San Francisco General, which 1365 01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:02,840 Speaker 1: is re recently renamed for the Facebook founder after he 1366 01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:06,879 Speaker 1: donated seventy five million dollars to It is the largest 1367 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:11,000 Speaker 1: public hospital in San Francisco and the city's only top 1368 01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:15,320 Speaker 1: tier trauma center, but it doesn't participate in the networks 1369 01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:19,639 Speaker 1: of any private health insurers. A surprise patience like Dang 1370 01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:22,200 Speaker 1: learned after assuming their coverage includes a trip to a 1371 01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:28,599 Speaker 1: large public er. So that's right, you can get here 1372 01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:33,000 Speaker 1: a seventy five You get seventy five million dollar grant 1373 01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:36,160 Speaker 1: from Zuckerberg for this big public hospital, and the public 1374 01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:41,720 Speaker 1: hospital doesn't take any private insurance none. This is a 1375 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:43,840 Speaker 1: big hospital, right Number One. If you get into a 1376 01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:48,800 Speaker 1: terrible car accident in San Francisco and you have to 1377 01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:50,599 Speaker 1: go to a hospital, this is the hospital in terms 1378 01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:52,200 Speaker 1: of care you're gonna want to go to. Right. This 1379 01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:55,000 Speaker 1: is the only Tier one trauma center in San Francisco. 1380 01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:59,280 Speaker 1: But it does not matter what health insurance you have. 1381 01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:07,000 Speaker 1: I at health insurance because they won't accept it. This 1382 01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:09,040 Speaker 1: is what's buried in this piece though, and this really 1383 01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:12,720 Speaker 1: goes to a lot of what is not discussed these 1384 01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:16,360 Speaker 1: days and why. I mean, I can tell you from 1385 01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:17,920 Speaker 1: the last few years. I think I've been to the 1386 01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:23,320 Speaker 1: er in the last five years, maybe last ten years, 1387 01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:27,160 Speaker 1: maybe two times, but both times I got a big 1388 01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:30,240 Speaker 1: dose of this reality there's been the last five years, 1389 01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:34,879 Speaker 1: I'd say two times. Quote. Most big hospital ers negotiate 1390 01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,599 Speaker 1: prices for kareth major health insurance providers and are considered 1391 01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:42,120 Speaker 1: in network. Zuckerberg San Francisco General has not done that, 1392 01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:47,880 Speaker 1: bargaining with private plans, making them out of network. That 1393 01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:56,800 Speaker 1: leaves many many insured patients footing big bills. A spokeperson 1394 01:26:56,840 --> 01:27:00,559 Speaker 1: for the hospital confirmed at Zuckerberg San Francisco General does 1395 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:04,320 Speaker 1: not accept any private health insurance. He said, the hospital's 1396 01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:07,000 Speaker 1: focus here we go, folks, get ready for it is 1397 01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:11,960 Speaker 1: on serving those with public health coverage, even if that 1398 01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:18,000 Speaker 1: means offsetting those costs with high bills for the privately insured. 1399 01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:22,960 Speaker 1: End quote. This is now the trend you see. This 1400 01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:26,920 Speaker 1: is the redistribution in action. This is the American health 1401 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:30,160 Speaker 1: insurance system that you are increasingly going to be forced 1402 01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:34,280 Speaker 1: to live in where even when you think you have 1403 01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:37,439 Speaker 1: good health insurance, even when you've taken a job and 1404 01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:41,840 Speaker 1: paid premiums so that you can have high level health insurance, 1405 01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:47,960 Speaker 1: the social justice view of our healthcare system is that 1406 01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:54,240 Speaker 1: you will have to pay even into bankruptcy, perhaps because 1407 01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:58,520 Speaker 1: of your private insurance, but somebody who is on Medicaid, 1408 01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:02,479 Speaker 1: they will be their services will be covered. And the 1409 01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:05,800 Speaker 1: money that you pay into a big hospital like Zuckerberg 1410 01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:10,439 Speaker 1: General is an amazing Zuckerberg General. It's a thing that's 1411 01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:14,360 Speaker 1: going to be used to offset the care, the expense 1412 01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:18,080 Speaker 1: of the care given to people who are on public 1413 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 1: health insurance. So you now risk and look, this is 1414 01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:26,559 Speaker 1: a case study and Voxes whole thing is we just 1415 01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:28,920 Speaker 1: see Medicare for all. This is ridiculous, and they take 1416 01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:31,040 Speaker 1: it in a different direction. What I'm telling you is 1417 01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:34,200 Speaker 1: this is the trend now when the social justice warriors 1418 01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:36,719 Speaker 1: have their way. What it means is you who listen 1419 01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:41,080 Speaker 1: to this, who have insurance, who pay for insurance, you 1420 01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:43,639 Speaker 1: may be in a position where you go somewhere you're 1421 01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,519 Speaker 1: you're in the er and you're paying you know, three 1422 01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:51,000 Speaker 1: hundred dollars for a couple of thailan all because they 1423 01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:55,599 Speaker 1: don't have an agreement with your insurance company. Meanwhile, if 1424 01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:58,200 Speaker 1: you go in there on Medicaid, they'll take Medicaid, and 1425 01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:00,719 Speaker 1: your three hundred dollars you're paying for tail and All 1426 01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:06,560 Speaker 1: is going to subsidize the Medicaid patients. Now, this is 1427 01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:12,960 Speaker 1: what they don't tell you about our healthcare socialist democrats, 1428 01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:16,080 Speaker 1: socialist future. It's and this is also what they don't 1429 01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:18,519 Speaker 1: tell you about Obamacare is that there are winners and losers. 1430 01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:22,800 Speaker 1: There are some people who get Obamacare coverage for what 1431 01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:25,800 Speaker 1: they pay, pretty good coverage. There are other people who 1432 01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:29,320 Speaker 1: are under the Obamacare system who get just who pay 1433 01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:31,800 Speaker 1: through the nose, who can't afford their premiums because they 1434 01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:35,479 Speaker 1: make too much to get the subsidies, and they in 1435 01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:39,560 Speaker 1: turn are personally subsidizing the people who are getting the subsidies. 1436 01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:45,000 Speaker 1: This is just redistribution of wealth, and it's redistribution of 1437 01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:49,760 Speaker 1: wealth at that you know they don't tell you about. 1438 01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:53,840 Speaker 1: They're not add about it, and that the standard of 1439 01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,120 Speaker 1: the standard practice. When you go into New York one 1440 01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:58,280 Speaker 1: of these places, you think is I have health insurance 1441 01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:02,599 Speaker 1: I'm covered, well maybe not, maybe not. You know, you 1442 01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:04,760 Speaker 1: may face a future when the public option is a 1443 01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:07,160 Speaker 1: better option than your private insurance, which is what the 1444 01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:10,040 Speaker 1: Democrats want. They don't want some people to be on 1445 01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:11,760 Speaker 1: the public option. They want everybody to be on the 1446 01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,920 Speaker 1: public option. Eventually. They think that's the only way this 1447 01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:18,160 Speaker 1: will be a truly fair system. There will always be 1448 01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:20,120 Speaker 1: the rich who will just pay for it. I would know. 1449 01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:23,960 Speaker 1: You know, Nancy Pelosi is never waiting in a public 1450 01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:28,840 Speaker 1: hospital er ever, her whole life, her children, her children's children. 1451 01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:31,760 Speaker 1: They will never wait in a public hospital er you 1452 01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:35,600 Speaker 1: when you really needed You may be waiting in a 1453 01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:39,679 Speaker 1: public hospital's er, even if you have insurance. And by 1454 01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,080 Speaker 1: the way, they may bankrupt you with the bill they 1455 01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:46,720 Speaker 1: send you for what are covered services in any er. 1456 01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,679 Speaker 1: But if they don't have a program with your insurance company, 1457 01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:52,840 Speaker 1: a contract, and they want to subsidize all of the people, 1458 01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,599 Speaker 1: including illegals by the way, who are going into ers 1459 01:30:55,600 --> 01:31:00,080 Speaker 1: and getting care, guess what tough for you. That's the 1460 01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:04,400 Speaker 1: reality of the healthcare system we have in practice in 1461 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,719 Speaker 1: some places, not all places, and not all the time. 1462 01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:09,120 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you it's a reality that's going to 1463 01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:15,800 Speaker 1: become more widespread. All we got to roll into. I 1464 01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:19,639 Speaker 1: got a couple of quick thoughts on sound like Michael 1465 01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:21,759 Speaker 1: Scott from the Office. I got some thoughts on comedy, 1466 01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:24,800 Speaker 1: I got some thoughts on the Golden Globes and the opening. 1467 01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:26,519 Speaker 1: I'll just take a moment and then we'll get into 1468 01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:30,040 Speaker 1: a nice extended role call team. So I stay right there. 1469 01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:35,240 Speaker 1: Most people that I know who talk about the Golden 1470 01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:39,639 Speaker 1: Globes only bring it up so that they can talk 1471 01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:42,000 Speaker 1: about how they don't watch the Golden Globes. Right, this 1472 01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:44,320 Speaker 1: is the this is the new, the new thing with 1473 01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:47,360 Speaker 1: awards ceremony season, as people will just talk about how 1474 01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:49,720 Speaker 1: much they don't want to watch these awards. And I know, like, 1475 01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:54,439 Speaker 1: I agree, they're boring, they're bloated. I don't understand the appeal. 1476 01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:56,200 Speaker 1: But if people want to watch it and they enjoy it, 1477 01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:58,120 Speaker 1: that's their call. And it's just supposed to be entertaining. 1478 01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:03,160 Speaker 1: Who really cares. But occasionally something happens, Occasionally something goes 1479 01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:07,400 Speaker 1: on where you know, I think to myself, oh that 1480 01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:11,599 Speaker 1: that's actually, you know, meaningful. In some way, it's not meaningful. 1481 01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:15,960 Speaker 1: When Christian Bale in his funky is it Welsh or 1482 01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:20,160 Speaker 1: Cornish accent. He has says that he was inspired by 1483 01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:22,759 Speaker 1: Satan to play Dick Cheney, which I've heard that movie 1484 01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:26,880 Speaker 1: Vice is just awful, even if no matter how much 1485 01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:32,880 Speaker 1: you hate Dick Cheney and the Republicans all the rest 1486 01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:37,719 Speaker 1: of it, the movie Vice is apparently a steamy, trash 1487 01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:43,479 Speaker 1: heap of garbage. But that said, there was a whole 1488 01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:45,320 Speaker 1: exchange and I had the clip and I want to 1489 01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:47,439 Speaker 1: play it for you, although you don't really need to 1490 01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:50,439 Speaker 1: hear it. And also, I think that Golden Globes, just 1491 01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:53,400 Speaker 1: like the Oscars, get weird about playing their audio. I 1492 01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:55,960 Speaker 1: think that they know they can be a little They 1493 01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:57,960 Speaker 1: don't want anyone to just like take some of their 1494 01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:01,639 Speaker 1: audio and use it. But essentially at Andy Samberg, who's 1495 01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,880 Speaker 1: a really just known for these digital shorts at Saturday 1496 01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:10,000 Speaker 1: Night Live that he did like, what was it, uh 1497 01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:14,200 Speaker 1: something in chain? I forget, Oh, turtleneck and chain. There 1498 01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:16,439 Speaker 1: you go, John, Do have you ever worn a turtleneck 1499 01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:20,360 Speaker 1: in a chain at the same time you're I will 1500 01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:26,280 Speaker 1: remind you you're under oath. No anyway, turtleneck and chain 1501 01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:29,360 Speaker 1: is you have not? All right? I know producer Mike 1502 01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:32,960 Speaker 1: has but you know the turtle neck and chain is 1503 01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:36,000 Speaker 1: one of his things. Anyway, the the way they decided 1504 01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,560 Speaker 1: to go at this Golden Globes event is to do 1505 01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:41,040 Speaker 1: this whole thing about, Oh, we're gonna like, we're gonna 1506 01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:43,240 Speaker 1: be really edgy, We're gonna really make fun of people. 1507 01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:46,080 Speaker 1: These are the two presenters. And they got up there 1508 01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:49,920 Speaker 1: and they said, you know, Spike Lee, oh man, you 1509 01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:52,679 Speaker 1: always do the right thing, and your movies are amazing, 1510 01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:55,680 Speaker 1: oh zick burn. And then they said, you know, uh, 1511 01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:58,480 Speaker 1: some other guy, you know, Brad Pitt, like you're so handsome. 1512 01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, it wasn't funny, it wasn't clever. But 1513 01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:07,280 Speaker 1: it really is actually a symptom of this larger problem 1514 01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:11,360 Speaker 1: of nothing is allowed to be funny anymore. There really 1515 01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:15,840 Speaker 1: isn't any comedy worth speaking about, because at least not 1516 01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:19,920 Speaker 1: in the very mainstream pop culture, because the Libs have 1517 01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,200 Speaker 1: set up all these rules where you can't say so. 1518 01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,360 Speaker 1: Now they have to intentionally make bad jokes at places 1519 01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:28,559 Speaker 1: like the Globes that just aren't funny at all and 1520 01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:32,320 Speaker 1: aren't even political commentary. It's just essentially giving up on 1521 01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:34,880 Speaker 1: being funny, and that's where the culture is going. But 1522 01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:39,040 Speaker 1: Roll calls up next, which is always funny, like soft 1523 01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:42,719 Speaker 1: butter on warm toast. Time to spread some freedom coast 1524 01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:56,200 Speaker 1: to coast. It's time for roll call. Roll call time. Everybody. 1525 01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:58,439 Speaker 1: You know what that means. I get to hear from 1526 01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:03,400 Speaker 1: all of you, which is always exciting. Facebook dot com 1527 01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:07,840 Speaker 1: slash buck Sexton that is, in fact, the place to 1528 01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:11,920 Speaker 1: go for all of your roll call needs. I saw 1529 01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,760 Speaker 1: a headline today that I wanted to track down trying 1530 01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:17,479 Speaker 1: to see where I think it was. Was on the 1531 01:35:17,560 --> 01:35:22,600 Speaker 1: Drudge Report. At one point it was saying how Americans 1532 01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:26,560 Speaker 1: are now starting to go for station wagons over SUVs. 1533 01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I'm not imagining this, and I think 1534 01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:35,040 Speaker 1: this is really exciting because I had in college. My 1535 01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:37,479 Speaker 1: parents gave it to me. It was a wood paneled 1536 01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:44,639 Speaker 1: Roadmaster Buick station wagon, the Roadmaster, which how to think, 1537 01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:47,360 Speaker 1: seventy five thousand miles on it when I took it 1538 01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:50,840 Speaker 1: up to school. Yes, richer Americans, here you go. This 1539 01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:55,480 Speaker 1: is from Bloomberg. Richer Americans are skipping SUVs for station wagons. 1540 01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,720 Speaker 1: That's pretty amazing and sort of interested to see how 1541 01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:03,120 Speaker 1: this is. This is changing up here, So the wagons 1542 01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:06,280 Speaker 1: coming back. And yes, as you know, my car in 1543 01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:09,400 Speaker 1: college We called it the shaggin Wagon because there was 1544 01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:13,800 Speaker 1: definitely no shagging if you were driving that wagon. I'm 1545 01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:16,480 Speaker 1: wondering if anyone listening to the show actually has a roadmaster. 1546 01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:19,400 Speaker 1: I think they're they're almost like collectibles now because they're 1547 01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:23,160 Speaker 1: very it's very rare to find one on the road 1548 01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:25,320 Speaker 1: these days because they would have been they're going on 1549 01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:29,200 Speaker 1: twenty plus years old. All right, roll call, enough of 1550 01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:32,800 Speaker 1: my my nonsense about station wagons. I just got I 1551 01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:36,040 Speaker 1: got excited though, because wagons are back, and I have 1552 01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:40,439 Speaker 1: and will always have a fondness for the station wagon. 1553 01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:47,800 Speaker 1: Paul Rights, if the production team behind the Glass stayed later, 1554 01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:50,840 Speaker 1: you could run the same telephone number for the Freedom 1555 01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:55,080 Speaker 1: Hut podcast. Keep up the great job, shields high. Well, Paul, 1556 01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:57,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm down to figure out a way to get 1557 01:36:57,439 --> 01:37:00,280 Speaker 1: you know, more people in on air. However I can 1558 01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:04,559 Speaker 1: whenever I can, so whatever we can do to facilitate that, 1559 01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:10,160 Speaker 1: I'm definitely up for. But I cannot. We cannot interfere 1560 01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:16,160 Speaker 1: with producer Mike or DJ John's social life. So that 1561 01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:20,200 Speaker 1: means exactly DJ John agrees. So that means that we 1562 01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:23,000 Speaker 1: need to make sure that we find it had probably 1563 01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:25,080 Speaker 1: to do it earlier in the day and not later 1564 01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:27,280 Speaker 1: in the day because the show already ends up pretty late. 1565 01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:32,799 Speaker 1: Ron Rights, Brazil's new leader wants to ease gun laws. 1566 01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:38,320 Speaker 1: Supporters are ready and training. Yeah, Ron, I've seen this 1567 01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:44,240 Speaker 1: that Brazil, which hasn't astronomically high, not just crime rate, 1568 01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:48,400 Speaker 1: but specifically murder rate, which is Look, this is a 1569 01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:51,080 Speaker 1: big problem in Latin America now across the board, not 1570 01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:54,760 Speaker 1: all Latin American countries, but a lot of the worst 1571 01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:59,439 Speaker 1: places for criminal violence instead of say a civil war 1572 01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:02,639 Speaker 1: or an act if combat situation, but for criminal violence 1573 01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:06,679 Speaker 1: are found in Latin America. There's a lot of them. Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil. 1574 01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:12,840 Speaker 1: I watched a bit of this documentary on Who's the 1575 01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:16,439 Speaker 1: McAfee John McAfee and how he went down to Belize 1576 01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:21,280 Speaker 1: and built this compound and hired local thugs to be 1577 01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:23,840 Speaker 1: his security guards. I didn't even finish the whole thing, 1578 01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:28,240 Speaker 1: but I didn't know that it gets really dark. Believed 1579 01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:30,160 Speaker 1: had one of the highest, at least when he was 1580 01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,120 Speaker 1: living there, one of the highest murder rates per capita 1581 01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:34,240 Speaker 1: in the world, which I did not know. So there 1582 01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:38,000 Speaker 1: even Al Salvador, Honduras. These are plays of Honduras in particular, 1583 01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:41,840 Speaker 1: very high murder rate. I think Al Salvadores is still 1584 01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:45,719 Speaker 1: very high. I know Honduras is very high. So Brazil 1585 01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:48,599 Speaker 1: is thinking about making it easier for people who are 1586 01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:52,760 Speaker 1: law abiding to have guns. Now that, if you have 1587 01:38:52,920 --> 01:38:55,599 Speaker 1: read and believe the thesis of more guns less crime 1588 01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:58,320 Speaker 1: written by John Lott, there's a lot of reason to 1589 01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:01,720 Speaker 1: believe that this may be effect. This may actually be 1590 01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:05,680 Speaker 1: what's you know, at least one way of helping the situation, 1591 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:10,600 Speaker 1: David writes, Buck Shields high. Just listen to Friday's episode 1592 01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:13,920 Speaker 1: on podcast. If you want some good conservative movies, you 1593 01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:17,200 Speaker 1: need to rethink the Dark Knight Trilogy, from the billionaire 1594 01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:19,680 Speaker 1: rich kid who actually does care about other people and 1595 01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:22,559 Speaker 1: puts his resources to better than a better use than taxes, 1596 01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:27,440 Speaker 1: to the Marxist class struggle slogan throwing villain in Rises 1597 01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:31,479 Speaker 1: who is really trying to destroy the community. Love the show, well, David, 1598 01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:35,120 Speaker 1: love that you love the show, and thank you for 1599 01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:38,559 Speaker 1: writing in And I look, I have seen the Dark 1600 01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:41,920 Speaker 1: Knight Trilogy dozens of times all the way through, so 1601 01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:44,400 Speaker 1: I can't pretend to obviously I enjoyed it because I've 1602 01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:46,840 Speaker 1: watched all those movies many times. I think the first 1603 01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:49,599 Speaker 1: one is by far the best. I think Batman Begins 1604 01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:51,439 Speaker 1: is number one out of the trilogy. I think the 1605 01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:57,599 Speaker 1: best single performance is in what's the second one? Batman? 1606 01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:01,840 Speaker 1: What's the second? John? What's this? What's thank You? Is that? 1607 01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:06,840 Speaker 1: The Dark Night? What's the third one? Then the Dark Knight? 1608 01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:08,880 Speaker 1: I think is No, that's right. The Dark Knight I 1609 01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:10,240 Speaker 1: think is the second one. I think the Dark Knight 1610 01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:13,200 Speaker 1: rises a third one anyway, the one with Heath Ledger 1611 01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:17,800 Speaker 1: rest in Peace. That's the best single acting performance in 1612 01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:20,400 Speaker 1: any of them. Obviously he got a posthumous oscar for 1613 01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:23,720 Speaker 1: that one. But the movies don't really hold up. There's 1614 01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:26,400 Speaker 1: a lot of fat on those bones. There's a lot 1615 01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:30,360 Speaker 1: of excess, a lot of stuff you don't need. And 1616 01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:33,360 Speaker 1: so I could sit here and do a whole segment 1617 01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:35,519 Speaker 1: on and a lot of you would be like, no, buck, 1618 01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:38,360 Speaker 1: I would turn the station. But I could do a 1619 01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:44,719 Speaker 1: segment on how those you know, those different plot lines 1620 01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:47,479 Speaker 1: don't really hold up and don't really make sense when 1621 01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:51,000 Speaker 1: you apply basic scrutiny to them. And I know people 1622 01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:53,160 Speaker 1: get mad at me for saying this. Yeah, yeah, I 1623 01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:57,680 Speaker 1: get mad at me. I know, speaking of what was 1624 01:40:57,720 --> 01:41:01,320 Speaker 1: I saying about trying I don't know what. Somehow in 1625 01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:03,160 Speaker 1: my head I wanted to talk to you about the 1626 01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:07,439 Speaker 1: reverse sear technique that I pulled off. So I'm gonna 1627 01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:09,280 Speaker 1: tell you I'm taking i know, a mid roll call. 1628 01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:11,760 Speaker 1: I'm taking a little break from roll call though, so 1629 01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:14,080 Speaker 1: over the weekend.

But I posted my reverse sear technique. 1641 01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:48,600 Speaker 1: So Miss Molly and I she was down here and 1642 01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:51,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to cook a steak and I gotta stay. 1643 01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:55,839 Speaker 1: And it was like a two inch two inch thick beast. 1644 01:41:55,880 --> 01:42:00,000 Speaker 1: It was a fred flintstone worthy steak and thing was huge, 1645 01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:04,160 Speaker 1: look like a brontosaurus side And I said, I said, 1646 01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:07,080 Speaker 1: if I try to just sear this thing on the 1647 01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:09,680 Speaker 1: cast iron, what ends up happening is that you're going 1648 01:42:09,720 --> 01:42:12,519 Speaker 1: to have to overcook the outsides of it to get 1649 01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:15,479 Speaker 1: deep enough into the middle to cook it through, and 1650 01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:17,559 Speaker 1: then you're missing out on a lot of a tender 1651 01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:20,360 Speaker 1: juiciness of what was a very expensive cut of meat. 1652 01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:24,599 Speaker 1: Someone also asked me on Facebook on a direct message, 1653 01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:28,160 Speaker 1: if I think that Kobe beef is worth it, and 1654 01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:30,720 Speaker 1: if I, oh, if I've ever had it, and I responded, no, 1655 01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:32,599 Speaker 1: I have had it, and I do not think it 1656 01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:35,760 Speaker 1: is worth it. I think a really good, a really 1657 01:42:35,800 --> 01:42:38,679 Speaker 1: good dry age all American steak is the single best 1658 01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:41,120 Speaker 1: best kind you can get. But the reverse here is 1659 01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:43,640 Speaker 1: essentially you put it in the oven. You obviously salt it, 1660 01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:46,160 Speaker 1: prep it, but you put it salt, pepper, all that stuff. 1661 01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:48,280 Speaker 1: But you put it in the oven and you cook 1662 01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:53,480 Speaker 1: it through until it's about ten fifteen degrees internal temperature 1663 01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:57,240 Speaker 1: shy of where you really want the steak to be. 1664 01:42:57,360 --> 01:43:00,439 Speaker 1: So for medium rare, if you're a perfection, I think 1665 01:43:00,439 --> 01:43:04,760 Speaker 1: that's a one thirty five maybe one forty, so I 1666 01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:07,600 Speaker 1: basically took the temperature internally to one twenty. Takes a 1667 01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:10,080 Speaker 1: little while and you gotta kind of hover over it. 1668 01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:12,800 Speaker 1: But then you pull it out and you just get 1669 01:43:12,840 --> 01:43:17,559 Speaker 1: that cast iron just steaming hot. And then you see 1670 01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:19,599 Speaker 1: her both sides of that steak, and you get that 1671 01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:24,479 Speaker 1: that dark brown caramelization cruss going on on the outside 1672 01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:26,120 Speaker 1: of the steak. And then maybe give it a couple 1673 01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:28,240 Speaker 1: more shakes of salt and pepper if you want, do 1674 01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:30,599 Speaker 1: a little basting if you're into that with some herbs. 1675 01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:32,920 Speaker 1: I like to use time, but a little butter, a 1676 01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:36,240 Speaker 1: little basting technique. And miss, I mean Miss Molly was 1677 01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:39,040 Speaker 1: super pressed. The steak was amazing. The reverse sear technique 1678 01:43:39,040 --> 01:43:41,920 Speaker 1: saved it. It's concertain steaks, you just they're too thick. 1679 01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:45,120 Speaker 1: And everyone keeps saying, cook it sue Vied style. I 1680 01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:47,280 Speaker 1: don't have the patience that sounds like it takes too long, 1681 01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:49,839 Speaker 1: even if it's I mean, I can cook it perfectly 1682 01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:51,000 Speaker 1: my way, So why would I want to cook it 1683 01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:53,400 Speaker 1: su Vied style. I'm gonna cook it in water really slowly. 1684 01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:55,880 Speaker 1: People say I got a lot of messages about that. 1685 01:43:55,920 --> 01:43:57,840 Speaker 1: They're saying, oh, you gotta cook it su Vied style. 1686 01:43:57,960 --> 01:44:01,519 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, but I just haven't haven't gotten around to 1687 01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:06,760 Speaker 1: that yet, Mike writes Buck. Perhaps a reporter rather it 1688 01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:09,120 Speaker 1: may already be doing this, but having a news report 1689 01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:11,759 Speaker 1: determining whether the leading Democrats' homes are either in gated 1690 01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:15,680 Speaker 1: communities or have walls or fences. Nothing says hypocrisy more 1691 01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:19,599 Speaker 1: than these shameful politician politicians saying walls don't work when 1692 01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:24,519 Speaker 1: their own dwellings are behind walls shields high from Mike, Mike, 1693 01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:26,680 Speaker 1: in fact, it's funny you bring this up. I just 1694 01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:30,360 Speaker 1: saw my friend today, mister Benny Johnson of the Daily Caller, 1695 01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:34,160 Speaker 1: and he is doing a project where he is compiling 1696 01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:40,040 Speaker 1: photographic evidence of the homes of prominent figures and celebrities 1697 01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:44,160 Speaker 1: that have big fences gates around them. You know that 1698 01:44:44,320 --> 01:44:46,280 Speaker 1: these are people who everybody knows. You know, everybody knows 1699 01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:48,760 Speaker 1: where the Obama compound is in DC, for example, because 1700 01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:51,400 Speaker 1: it's huge and he's got Secret Service protection and it's 1701 01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:54,719 Speaker 1: not you know, this is not like posting someone's address 1702 01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:57,120 Speaker 1: to docks them. This is everybody knows where these where 1703 01:44:57,200 --> 01:45:01,240 Speaker 1: these individuals. Let these are very prominent, very well usually 1704 01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:05,240 Speaker 1: secured and defended individuals. But yeah, it's an interesting idea. 1705 01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they'll they'll say, of course that a home's 1706 01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:09,720 Speaker 1: wall is different than a border wall, blah blah. But no, 1707 01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:17,240 Speaker 1: I think you're right in principle. Here we go, Michael. Right, dude, 1708 01:45:17,240 --> 01:45:19,800 Speaker 1: you're getting close to forty. I'm sure it's occurred to 1709 01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:21,599 Speaker 1: you that it's getting late in the day to have kids. 1710 01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:23,880 Speaker 1: By the time they get to college, you'll be old 1711 01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:26,519 Speaker 1: enough to be their grandfather. I didn't get married till 1712 01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:29,559 Speaker 1: I was twenty nine, first kid, thirty one. I couldn't 1713 01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:31,880 Speaker 1: imagine have been married to my early twenties something like that. 1714 01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:34,320 Speaker 1: But you can't argue the biology of the math. We're 1715 01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:37,080 Speaker 1: putting off marriaging kids later and later and having fewer 1716 01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:40,600 Speaker 1: and fewer kids. Europe and Japan already in a demographic 1717 01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:42,519 Speaker 1: death spiral could be next. Anyway. I hope you had 1718 01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:44,880 Speaker 1: some good company for your birthday. Oh thanks, Michael. I 1719 01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:46,599 Speaker 1: did have a great company for my birthday, and Miss 1720 01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:49,200 Speaker 1: Molly was with me. And yes, I know, I'm getting 1721 01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:52,639 Speaker 1: closer to forty and it is getting to be go time. 1722 01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:58,000 Speaker 1: So I understand the biology involved here, and I would 1723 01:45:58,120 --> 01:46:00,080 Speaker 1: very much like to have kids. You know, one thing 1724 01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:03,240 Speaker 1: I will tell you though, in all honesty, this this 1725 01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:08,559 Speaker 1: path that I'm on of doing media and especially trying 1726 01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:10,360 Speaker 1: to make a make a real go of it in 1727 01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:13,599 Speaker 1: a meaningful way in the current climate, the current environment, 1728 01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:17,280 Speaker 1: it's very hard. It's very hard to do, especially someone 1729 01:46:17,320 --> 01:46:19,880 Speaker 1: like me who has to be constantly on the hustle 1730 01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:22,160 Speaker 1: doing different media jobs. You know, I'd be one thing 1731 01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:24,920 Speaker 1: if I was set up at a big network and 1732 01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:26,760 Speaker 1: I was going to try to stay there for twenty years. 1733 01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:33,000 Speaker 1: I don't have that luxury, So it's a it's a 1734 01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:34,800 Speaker 1: tough thing because you with kids, you don't want to 1735 01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:36,840 Speaker 1: uproot them, and you got to keep the wife happy. 1736 01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:41,200 Speaker 1: But Michael, you're right as usual. Michael's Michael's one of 1737 01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:44,519 Speaker 1: my salty dog advisors on Facebook. You're you're even more right, 1738 01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:48,920 Speaker 1: by the way, about how this is affecting America and 1739 01:46:49,280 --> 01:46:51,000 Speaker 1: what it means for the West. We're just not having 1740 01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:54,240 Speaker 1: enough kids. And I actually blame at some I mean, 1741 01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:56,559 Speaker 1: I blame socialism for it because I think that what 1742 01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:59,880 Speaker 1: what ends up happening is people in their prime earning 1743 01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:03,080 Speaker 1: years are being taxed too heavily. And this is just 1744 01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:05,040 Speaker 1: my theory, and I don't care anybody says, I know 1745 01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:07,920 Speaker 1: it's true, and I'm just I just know this. Experientially, 1746 01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:12,479 Speaker 1: younger people, people in their thirties, you know, in their 1747 01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:15,840 Speaker 1: in their late twenties, they're having a harder time getting 1748 01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:19,000 Speaker 1: into the housing market, housing market, they're having a harder 1749 01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:21,560 Speaker 1: time saving up any money and creating any financial security. 1750 01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:23,880 Speaker 1: And so if you don't want your kids to be 1751 01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:27,479 Speaker 1: on you know, the Children's Health Insurance Program CHIP, even 1752 01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:30,680 Speaker 1: if you don't want state benefits and and federal welfare 1753 01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:34,360 Speaker 1: necessary to help support your household, you put off kids 1754 01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:36,080 Speaker 1: in a lot of cases, in a lot of places, 1755 01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:40,439 Speaker 1: especially in major urban centers, because you want to have 1756 01:47:40,479 --> 01:47:42,680 Speaker 1: the financial wear with all the support them, and it's 1757 01:47:42,680 --> 01:47:45,640 Speaker 1: getting harder and harder to do. In fact, I know 1758 01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:47,800 Speaker 1: in New York, I had friends whould joke around about 1759 01:47:47,840 --> 01:47:50,920 Speaker 1: how that the real conspicuous consumption, you know, you used 1760 01:47:50,920 --> 01:47:53,960 Speaker 1: to beak conspicuous consumption was look at my rolex, you know, 1761 01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:57,519 Speaker 1: look at my Ferrari. Now if you live in New York, 1762 01:47:57,520 --> 01:48:03,320 Speaker 1: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, the real conspicuous consumption is, 1763 01:48:03,680 --> 01:48:08,400 Speaker 1: you know, look at my four or five kids. So 1764 01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:11,080 Speaker 1: that's that's the way things have, you know, assuming that 1765 01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:13,160 Speaker 1: you're supporting them entirely on your own. That's the way 1766 01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:16,840 Speaker 1: the things, that's where the things go. So anyway, that's 1767 01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:20,479 Speaker 1: that's gonna be it for today.
