1
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The hysteria around Russia

2
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: collusion continues on despite the lack of evidence. The media

3
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: is now desperate to convince people that non criminal activity

4
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: is criminal, that the president is guilty, and that there's

5
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: evidence that does not exist. They also don't want us

6
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: to find out what really happened in that interview with

7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: General Flynn that led to those perjury charges. We got

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: that and more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show.

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.

11
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: What magno mistake American, You're a great American Again The

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show begins. No, welcome to the Buck section Show. Everybody.

13
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: Great to have you here with me on this most

14
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: excellent Thursday. Excellent. We need to get ready for what

15
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: is going to be quite a year in twenty nineteen.

16
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: Time time to batten down the hatches, my friends, Get

17
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: ready for the squall. Dig deep in the trench. It's

18
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: going to get so much uglier, It's going to get

19
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: so much crazier. How is that even possible at this point,

20
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: It's hard to fathom, but I know it to be

21
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: the case. Unfortunately, a lot of very excited and over

22
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: excitable coverage today of this situation with Maria Boutina. Maria Boutina,

23
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: who is this Russian gun rights activist, and now she

24
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: has pleaded guilty to conspiring conspiring here, according to the

25
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: Washington Post, with a senior Russian official, to infiltrate the

26
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: conservative movement in the United States as an agent for

27
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: the Kremlin from twenty fifteen until her arrest in July.

28
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: She's the first Russian national who is convicted of influence,

29
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: of trying to influence, seeking to influence US policy in

30
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: the run up to the twenty sixteen election. This is

31
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: being reported on by a credulous and ignorant media as

32
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: a spy has been found. This is being reported there

33
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: and they're using the word spy. Yahoo has called her

34
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: a spy. MSNBC. The main story on MSNBC just a

35
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: few moments ago when I was when I was doing

36
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: my last run of you know, the various sites that

37
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: I want to make sure or I go through every

38
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: time I come on air. The main story was, in fact,

39
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: this Maria Boutina thing, and they were calling Maria Boutina

40
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: a spy. They were calling her a spy. Here's the

41
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: problem with that. She's not a spy. Now, that doesn't

42
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: mean what she did is okay, It doesn't mean that

43
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: what she did is, you know, just fine and dandy.

44
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: But why, once again do they have to exaggerate. Why

45
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: is the media continuing its trend of pushing further than

46
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: the facts when it comes to anything relating to Russia, Trump,

47
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: the election collusion, any of this stuff. Here's what really happened,

48
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: based on the facts as we know them. Maria Boutina,

49
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: a Russian national, came to America and was trying to

50
00:03:53,120 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: gain influence in decision making circles, particularly the National Rifle Association,

51
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: but just in general American decision makers on the right,

52
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: and wanted to open a back channel for communication for

53
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: the Russian government or for prominent Russians attached to the

54
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: Russian government. And here's how she's not a spy. One

55
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: she didn't ever try to access nor did she access

56
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: sensitive or classified information. She wasn't trying to steal info.

57
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: Now maybe she would have eventually, but that's not the

58
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: that's not what the charges are. She was trying to

59
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: get close to people that have influence in America. This

60
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: is acting as a foreign agent. Now, this corresponds to

61
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: another charge that has come up in this whole Russian

62
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: collusion madness of failure to register as a foreign agent.

63
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: Call it a FARAH violation Foreign Agent Registration Act. And

64
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: that's when you're in America and an American who is

65
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: trying to push for a foreign agents interest here in

66
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: America right now, if you are advocating on behalf of

67
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 1: let's say, you know, Saudi interests or Turkish interests or

68
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: Thie interests in America, but you're doing it openly, you're saying, hey,

69
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: I really I'm advocating for Thaie interests in America. That

70
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: falls under FARAH. And that's the kind of thing where

71
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: usually when they catch you, or if that comes to

72
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: the government's attention, they say, hey, hey, you know you

73
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: got a register? All right, you got a register. It's

74
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: essentially being a lobbyist. You're a lobbyist for a foreign government,

75
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: you have to register, just like how if you're a

76
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: lobbyist period in our own government, you're supposed to register, right,

77
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: So this is the equivalent of unregistered lobbying activity. Because

78
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: Maria Boutina was going around saying, hey, I'm Russian. I

79
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: want to open up a dialogue between America and Russia,

80
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: and I want to be near decision makers and people

81
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: who are involved and have influence in the policy process

82
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: on behalf of Russia. That's a very different thing. This

83
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: is not espionage. This is not spying. This is not

84
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: like Anna Chabman. Anna Chapman was accused of being what

85
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: the KGB used to call an illegal which essentially was

86
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: a long, deep, long time, deep cover operative meant to

87
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: penetrate under false pretenses the very top levels of the

88
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: United States government, steal secrets and take it back to Moscow,

89
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: pretending not to be a Russian right, pretending to be

90
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: something else. In this instance, Maria Buccino, this is somebody

91
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: who is walking around and saying, Hey, I'm Russian, and

92
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: I want to talk to people about how we can

93
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: get American Russia to agree on some stuff. She's facing

94
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: up to five years in federal prison now. And now,

95
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: why is this so significant? By the way, for a

96
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: registration also came up in the general flintcase, but we'll

97
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: get to that in a moment. They're saying this is

98
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: so important because it ties together the NRA, GOP, and Trump,

99
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: so the the three headed hydra that the left hate

100
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: so much. They hate the GOP, they hate the NRA,

101
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: and wow do they hate Trump. And this lets them

102
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: tell this tale of a woman who was trying to

103
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: Was she successful in any of this? Did she manage

104
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: to influence US policy at all? You know? This is

105
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: this reminds me of the exaggeration of the impact of

106
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: some Facebook ads. You know when when they were asking

107
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: the Google executive Peach I, CEO of Google, earlier this week,

108
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: how much money was spent by Russian associated accounts on

109
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: Google during the election. You know what he said, It

110
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: was something relines about four thousand dollars. Spending four thousand

111
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: dollars on Google to influence an election is like pouring

112
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: a cup of tap water in the ocean and saying

113
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: you're changing its temperature. Technically, you might have altered the

114
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: temperature somewhat, but it's not percept it's not something that

115
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: you could perceive, it's not something you could measure. Maria

116
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: Boutina did not shift any US policy. Okay, Maria Boutina

117
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: was entirely unsuccessful in this, which, by the way, is

118
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: why the Mueller probe didn't even handle this case. Handed

119
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: it off. This was not, in any way a major

120
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: case of espionage. This was not something that people should

121
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: be so excited about and so concerned about. But it

122
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: involves a Russian involves geop stuff and the elections. Oh,

123
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it's such a big story. We are

124
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: living in a time of hysteria and delusion that is

125
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: embraced by an increasingly desperate establishment. And the establishment is

126
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: desperate because not only is their power coming coming under

127
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: assault and therefore its longevity is in question, but we

128
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: also now are free to ask questions about why are

129
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: these people the establishment? What is it about the elites

130
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: in government, in journalism and media that has put them

131
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: in that position? Should we believe them? Should we trust them?

132
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: Are they particularly good or competent what they do? No,

133
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: they're not, and Trump exposes them, exposes them for not

134
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: being what they think they are, which is exceptional, which

135
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: is excellent at what they do. No, they just are

136
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: powerful and influential. But that's different. That's a very different thing. Indeed,

137
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, you can be the leader of a foreign

138
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: country because everyone thinks you're great, or you can be

139
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: the leader of a foreign country because you seize power

140
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: through brute force. Both cases, you're talking about a leader,

141
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: but only one side of the ledger would you have

142
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: a situation where somebody could claim excellence and skill and

143
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: the other it's just force and power. And the Left

144
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: is obsessed with power and with the exercise of that power,

145
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: and they'll use force to get there, and anyone who

146
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: challenges that is a target to be destroyed. And that's

147
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: why they have to come up with all these different narratives.

148
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: Narratives meant to undermine the opposition, undermine the people who

149
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: are a threat to their power. Maria Boutina, for example,

150
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: yet another individual who insaner times they would just say, okay,

151
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: just get out of America. They'd probably just deport her

152
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: as they get out of America, go back to Russia.

153
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: You know, you shouldn't be here trying to meddle in

154
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: our national conversation about anything in this way. You know,

155
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: you're supposed to registers as an agent of a foreign country. Right,

156
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: there's foreign registration for Americans, you know, being an agent

157
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: of a foreign power, and then there's being a foreigner

158
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: who's an agent of a or in power. Now General

159
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Flynn didn't register UNDERFERA. There are a lot of people

160
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: in DC who have not registered UNDERFERRA, but they were

161
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: going to use that, I think as additional leverage against him.

162
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: And this then brings me to what we see happening

163
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: through all the Russia collusion stuff. We see happening with

164
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: General Flynn, with all the people that have been caught

165
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: up Papadopolis and Cohen and Boutina and others. Now, and

166
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: that is when is the law strict, literal and harsh

167
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: and when is the law open to interpretation? Something that

168
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: we should look through with an ida mercy and decency

169
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: and second chances, And increasingly in the most politically tense

170
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: investigations in the country, what we find is that Democrats

171
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: always take the most strict, uncharitable, vicious, aggressive view of

172
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: the law, most literal interpretation of the law possible when

173
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: it is negative for a Republican and we always have

174
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: the reverse for Democrats, whether it's Hillary or you name it.

175
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: The law is malleable, the law is open to interpretation,

176
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: there's room to maneuver, and there's room for mercy. When

177
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: it's a Democrat who is that issue? This is fundamentally

178
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: destroying our sense. This Mueller probe, the hysteria around all things,

179
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: Russia is destroying our sense that the law is impartially

180
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: applied when it comes to politics. We cannot run from this.

181
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: We have to confront it. We will do more of that.

182
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: In just a moment, he answered a bunch of questions,

183
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: a great number of them apparently, and the agents knew

184
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: that some of those those answers didn't fit very well

185
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: with what he knew. And what's fascinating about the information

186
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: we have is they made the conscious decision not to

187
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: raise those with him. So there is a certain feeling

188
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: of a trap here that obviously he never clued into.

189
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: What's really troubling is not just the fact that they

190
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: proceeded to criminalize it, but that the initial agents apparently

191
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: did not believe he was intentionally lying, and they did

192
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: not recommend the charge. Now you now fast forward to

193
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: where we are now, and I can only imagine what

194
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: Flynn might be thinking and reading the recent filings, because

195
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: in one of the footnotes for Cohen, the prosecutors note

196
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: that he came in and made all types of false

197
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: statements about all types of stuff to investigators and then

198
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: simply says, a matter of factly, he then corrected those

199
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: statements and I could imagine Michael Flynn reading this thing. Well, Okay,

200
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: what happened to my chance to correct? That's right, what

201
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: happened to Flynn's chance to correct? Who gets a second chance?

202
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: Who gets the benefit of the doubt? That is what

203
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: is an issue here. I'm so sick of all these

204
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: smarmy left wing lawyers and pseudo lawyers who send they

205
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: broke the law, pleaded guilty, taking this view of everything

206
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: involving Trump at Russia and collusion and the lies and

207
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: the perjury charges as though they've they've never seen how

208
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: criminal law actually functions. Some people get a lot of

209
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: the way, other people don't. If it's based on politics,

210
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: that's a huge problem. Hillary had nine lawyers in the room,

211
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: or there McCabe, who's a liar and a scoundrel and

212
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: was fired from the FBI for for those reasons. McCabe

213
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: made sure that Flynn didn't have any lawyer in the

214
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: room with him. Now, you don't need a lawyer. I

215
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: don't do that. We're just gonna we're just gonna talk

216
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: to you about this thing. Liberals played dirty, and that's

217
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: that's the that's the quick and dirty of what we're

218
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: really talking about here, and when you see how psychologically

219
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: traumatized they were by Trump's victory, and you go back

220
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: and just from member all the people crying at that

221
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: Hillary victory party that wasn't a victory, all the different

222
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: senior government employees who thought that they were going to

223
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: have eight years of a glorious Clinton administration and it

224
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: was gonna be so fantastic for their careers. And also

225
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: it was really a pinnacle moment for a certain kind

226
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: of liberal boomer that Hillary's eight years was going to

227
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: be a kind of golden era of Democrat liberalism in America,

228
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: and that that was stolen from them, and that it

229
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: was so unfair and so wrong, and they lashed out,

230
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: and people within the government. It wasn't just outside a government.

231
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: They lashed out too. And yet as I sit here,

232
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: I still note that they have not produced any evidence

233
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: of collusion, and they are still going after people for

234
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: the petty of crimes. I mean, they're going after people

235
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: for for lies that don't really seem like lies. They

236
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: have all these shady dealings around figures in the government.

237
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Comey said just this past weekend, if the

238
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: administration was better organized, they never would have let Flynn

239
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: sit down with some FBI guys without the White House

240
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Council present. You know, He's basically like, we slipped we

241
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: slipped a couple of guys in there. You know, we

242
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: slipped them under the radar. You're gonna do that to

243
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: the National Security Advisor, people say, oh, buck, But law

244
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: enforcement uses tricks and techniques and you know, essentially lying

245
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: all the time they gave people. Yeah, but they usually

246
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: don't do it without a criminal predicate to the National

247
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: Security Advisor and give me a break. Your law enforcement

248
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: could also theoretically exercise any warrant that they want to

249
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: if they can convince a judge to sign off on it.

250
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: So you know, batter down your front door and you know,

251
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: send in an armored carrier and three and a squat team.

252
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: But you know, usually if they're just trying to find

253
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: out if you you know, are running a credit card

254
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: fraud scam or something, they don't do that. Discretion is

255
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: a necessary component of the justice system, right there has

256
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: to be good faith action from the people that are

257
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: entrusted with the power, and we're not seeing good faith action.

258
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: And that's why I mean, I think Trump should look

259
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: Trump should pardon Flynn full stop Pardon General Flynn, Play thirteen.

260
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: I never directed him to do anything incorrect or wrong,

261
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: and he understands that. Look, he did some bad things

262
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: unrelated to me, in order to embarrass me. They cut

263
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: his turn down. How many people when they say, listen,

264
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: if you embarrass the President of the United States will

265
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: give you a deal. Your father in law, your wife

266
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: will cut your jail. That's all it is. It's a

267
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: terrible system we have. It's going on right now with

268
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: General Flynn. The FBI said he didn't lie, but Muller

269
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: said he did lie. So they took a man who's

270
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: a general and a respected person and a nice man.

271
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: And I don't even know what he said about me, because,

272
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they scared him enough they don't make

273
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: up the story. But I have a feeling that maybe

274
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: he didn't. He's a tougher kind of a guy than Kohen.

275
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: But they took a general that they said didn't lie,

276
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: and they convinced him he did lie, and he made

277
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: some kind of a deal. And now they're recommending no time,

278
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: you know why, because they're embarrassed that they got caught.

279
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: I think he's the President's right on them on this one.

280
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: He knows, you know. There Cohen can't prove the President

281
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: told him to do anything wrong. Cohen's the lawyer, he

282
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: should know better. Advice of counsel is a real thing.

283
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: And what they did to Flynn, I just said again,

284
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: they did Flynn dirty. Remember why Mueller was set up.

285
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: Muller was set up as a special consul to look

286
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: at was or any collusion and any influence of Raisha

287
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: through the Trump campaign and influencing the election. There's been

288
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: no evidence of collusion at this point. And if there's

289
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: anything about Kohne yesterday that indirectly affects the president, Remember

290
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: the information came from a guy that was a liar

291
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: and accused of lying to the Congress of the United States.

292
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: So how much credibility do you want to put in

293
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: the words of a liar. It's a fair point from

294
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: Chuck Graslie. There one other thing before we move on

295
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: to some other topics, I want to talk to you

296
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: about the Women's March and how it's in the midst

297
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: of some some disarray. It's like the women's marches, and

298
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: they're not all marching in the same direction. There's some

299
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: problems there. Also, the Senate some some break news on

300
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: the Senate and Yemen and Kashogi. They're not They're not

301
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: gonna let this thing go, even though now it's it's

302
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: too late for people to realize because everyone has just

303
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: assumed that they spend so much time on Kashogi because

304
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: he must be a you know, a US person, meaning

305
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: either a citizen or a Green card holder. He's not.

306
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: I was a visitor, the visitor of the country. Are

307
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: we responsible now for changing our foreign policy based on

308
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: anyone anywhere in the world that has something terrible happened

309
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: to them if they are a journalist, we we then

310
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: have to change our foreign policy in a whole region

311
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: because of it. That's the new standard. It's not a

312
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: very it's not a very wise standard, if in fact

313
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: that that is our standard. I mean, the world is

314
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: a dangerous place. I hate to be the bearer of platitudes.

315
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: But there's one more thing here on the whole the

316
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: DOJ's conduct. And I'm happy that a judge, Judge Sullivan,

317
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: sounds like he wants to see those three O two's.

318
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: It seems very clear that with a seven month lag

319
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: between when the FBI had the initials sit down with Flynn,

320
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: and when they filed the three O two and that

321
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: we've already seen reporting that the FBI agents did not

322
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: initially think that he lied and they didn't bring charges

323
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: right away, seems very clear that they just they fabricated

324
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: a pretext. You know, it's it's not that hard to

325
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: do this. It's not that hard to go through someone's testimony,

326
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: and if you really really want to get them, find

327
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: something that is technically not accurate and say, well, you

328
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: say you misremembered, we say it's a lie. Guess what

329
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: their version is enough to get you prosecuted. And then

330
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: once they're prosecuting you, you're in a position where you

331
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: can either fight them and try to clear your name

332
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: and risk complete financial ruin and long prison sentence, or

333
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: you say, all right, I'll do whatever you say. I'll

334
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: do whatever you say. But here's something that I think

335
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: is worth pointing. This is from Bree Payton at the Federalist.

336
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 1: The Department of Justice white text messages between former FBI

337
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: employees Lisa Page and Peter Struck from their cell phones

338
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: before the Office of the Inspector General could review them.

339
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: According to a new report from the DOJ watchdog Page

340
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: Instruct's involvement with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation has been

341
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: heavily scrutinized after it was revealed they had sent numerous

342
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: and to one another. Mueller has been tasked with looking

343
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: into whether or not Donald Trump and his campaign association

344
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: It's coordinated with Russian officials to steal the twenty sixteen

345
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: election away from Hillary Clinton. The eleven page report reveals

346
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: that almost a month after Struck was removed from Mueller's team,

347
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: his government issued iPhone was wiped clean and restored to

348
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: factory settings by another individual working Muller's office. Special Counsel's

349
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: records officer told investigators she determined it did not contained

350
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: records that needed to be retained, no substance of text,

351
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: notes or reminders. Wow, isn't that convenient? Inspector General just

352
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: has somebody look at Struck in Page's phones and go, yeah,

353
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: there's nothing here we need to retain. We're just gonna

354
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: we're just gonna get rid of it, okay, because we've

355
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: seen a lot of stuff from them that should have

356
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: been retained, and a lot of stuff that the FBI

357
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: didn't want to release. By the way, so somebody want

358
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: to explain that one to me. Oh, that's just a coincidence, right,

359
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: It's it's always this is what you get from the

360
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: anti Trump Hillary hers out there. It's always just a

361
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: coincidence when something like this goes down. You know when

362
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: Hillary used bleach bit on her own server. Hey, you

363
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: know that was just a mistake. You know what, like

364
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: wipe it like with a cloth, she said, like with

365
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: a cloth, wiping it. Hello, don't you miss her? Don't

366
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: you wish she was president? Oh? I know, I know

367
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: it could still happen. I still think she's you haven't

368
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: heard much better recently. I still think she's running as

369
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: much as everyone else thinks. That's crazy. Meanwhile, despite all

370
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: this stuff going on, there's at least one pull out

371
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: today that says that Trump is about as popular at

372
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: this point in his presidency as Obama was in his presidency. So,

373
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, you've got the entire media saying Trump is

374
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: a criminal, actually saying Trump is a criminal, actively rooting

375
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 1: for his administration to collapse, people to go to prison,

376
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: Trump's son in law to be indict I mean son

377
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: rather to be indicted and his son in law to

378
00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: be indicted. And meanwhile, the president keeps in the fight.

379
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: I gotta give him credit. And he even likes the job.

380
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: Play fourteen. I love getting things done for the people.

381
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: It's a nasty job because I get hit so hard,

382
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: so unfairly by so many. I mean really unfairly. When

383
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: you look at what we've done with taxes, what we've

384
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: done with regulations, what we've done with China and national

385
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: defense and so many other things, including the environment. The

386
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: Paris Accord is not working out to well for Paris.

387
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: Take a look at what's happened, the struggling. That whole

388
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: country is burning down. Okay, So, and I was the

389
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: one that kept us out of the Paris Accord. If

390
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: I was in the Paris Accord, we would be paying

391
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars, trillions of dollars for nothing, and I

392
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. And my people love the job I'm doing.

393
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: You know. The one thing, if I could get a

394
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: little wish for twenty nineteen, I would just like the

395
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: administration's critics to focus on policies that don't like instead

396
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: of this just craziness about Russia and payoffs and women,

397
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: and they're just all this nonsense. It's all inflated. It's

398
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: all exaggerated. They're connecting dots that aren't even there. You know,

399
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: tell me you don't like Trump because of the taxes.

400
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: Tell me you don't like Trump because you know of

401
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: of immigration fund. At least that we could have a

402
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: discussion with somebody. But if you really think that there

403
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: was some crumblin conspiracy, I just I don't even know

404
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: what to say to those people. You know, at some

405
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: point you run out of a middle ground for any

406
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: kind of a conversation. Oh one more thing here on

407
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: the chief of staff. This was all from a Harris

408
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: Faulkner interview on Fox News that the Harris got to

409
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: sit down. Congrats to her on the with the President

410
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: on the chief of staff situation, play fifteen. We're interviewing

411
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: people now for chief of staff. Yes, five people, really

412
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: good ones, terrific people, mostly well known, but terrific people.

413
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: That actually wasn't from the Harris interview. That was from

414
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: just a press conference. But you know, I'm just saying,

415
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: it's Christmas and my birthday coming up. Mister President, you

416
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: need a chief of staff the buck gets results. I'm

417
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: just putting it out there. I know people in the

418
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: White House listen to the show, the buck gets results

419
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: allers to it. But you gotta let him do his

420
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: radio show. Still, um disputes in the Democratic Party base

421
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: because they all hate one another. Um. I mean you

422
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: have the Muslims and the Jews, and the various exotic

423
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: sexual groups and the black church ladies with um, you know,

424
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: the college queers. The only thing that keeps this the

425
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: Democratic base together is for them to keep focusing on

426
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: No white man are the one ones keeping you down.

427
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: You must hate white man. It's the one thing they

428
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: all have in common. Now, it shouldn't be any surprise,

429
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: but that little SoundBite for man culture on Fox News

430
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: made lots of liberal heads explode. They got very upset

431
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: about that. But she was asked about a very specific thing,

432
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: and that is a piece that came out this week

433
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: in Tablet magazine with the title is the Women's March

434
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: melting Down. And we have somebody who can talk to

435
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: us a little bit about what the heck is going

436
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: on here with the whole Women's March movement and allegations

437
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: of anti Semitism within the leadership and all kinds of

438
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: stuff going on there in as Felcher is with us. Now,

439
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: she is a senior policy analyst at the Independent Women's

440
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: Forum in as what is the truth theory? Is the

441
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: Women's March melting down? What's happening? Well, they're certainly having

442
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: quite a bit of drama in advance of their next march,

443
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: which just remind folks is the end of January, so

444
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: this is not good timing for them. But yes, let's

445
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: refers to a piece that came out in Tablet magazine

446
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: talking about how even from the very first meeting of

447
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: the leadership at the Women's March, there were anti Semitic

448
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: elements to it, right, that some of the march leaders

449
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: or march organizers. We're talking about how, for example, Jewish

450
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: people apparently bear a special collective responsibilities exploiters of black

451
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: and brown people. And also the false, the false conard

452
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: that Jews were the leaders of the American slave trade,

453
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: that they were the genius behind the American slave trade

454
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: or something like that. These are charges that come from

455
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: Louis Farakon's book The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews.

456
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: So there's not really Actually, this is a bit frustrating

457
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: because conservatives and conservative media have been pointing out the

458
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: anti Semitic elements and the anti semitic statements that have

459
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: come out from leaders of the Women's March from day one.

460
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: But only because the Tablet magazine expose has now been

461
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: published is it getting any kind of mainstream coverage. But

462
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: this is another one of those frustrating moments where it's like, yes,

463
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: conservatives have known this for two years, where were you

464
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: mainstreaming media? And I mean Linda Sars, whom I actually

465
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: bumped into once at Union Station in DC, which is funny.

466
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: She didn't know who I was, but I was like,

467
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: oh wow, that's Lindisar Sir. Look at that Linda sarsor

468
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: somebody who is very much associated with the Women's March

469
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: and definitely has a fondness for some anti Semitic folks.

470
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: Yeah so um so. Linda star Storagemika Malory are the

471
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: two folks who get brought up in these contacts a lot.

472
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: They both have long standing relationships with Louis Faracon and

473
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: with the Nation of Islam. They've also refused to back

474
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: down from those relationships. This is not one of those

475
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: things where increasingly common unfortunately, where the social media mob

476
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: pulls out a tweet out of context from ten years ago.

477
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: U These are active and ongoing relationships, and both women

478
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: have have pretty much refused to disavow Louis Farrakon, who,

479
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: by the way, is the most famous anti Semite in America.

480
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: It's basically him and David Duke. They can they can

481
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: Duke haha, it out for that top. But but these

482
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: are not sort of you know, sort of We're not

483
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: dealing with with things that are are maybe ambiguous or

484
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: can be read both ways. No, no no, like Lewis Faracon

485
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: called Jews termites on Twitter, and by the way, Twitter

486
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: doesn't ban him for that, And these leaders of the

487
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: Women's March have refused to break their association with Louis Farracon.

488
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: If this were on the right, by the way, if

489
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: this were a Trump rally or a for example, the

490
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: Tea Party movement, can you imagine that this would go

491
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: two years without getting the kind of coverage that it's

492
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: getting now. Of course it would not. It would be

493
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: on the front page of every magazine and every news

494
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: broadcast for months until everybody involved resigned in disgrace. I mean,

495
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: I just got to say, you know. The March leaders

496
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: were named twenty seventeen Women of the Year by Glamour magazine.

497
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: There was a glossy book published with Conde Nast on them.

498
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: They have a lucrative merchandise business selling branded Women's March gear.

499
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: They've raised millions of dollars through donations and institutional funding.

500
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: They've gotten money from places like Planned Parenthood and the

501
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: Hospital Workers Union. What's this Fortune Magazine named Mallory, Linda Sarsore,

502
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: Perez and Bland to its list of the world's great

503
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: Greatest Leaders and New York Center Kirsten Gillibrand, in explaining

504
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: why these four women were on Time magazine's list of

505
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: the one hundred most influential people, wrote, the Women's March

506
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: was the most inspiring and transformational moment I've ever witnessed

507
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: in politics. And it happened because of these four extraordinary women.

508
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: And she names the Mallory Bland, Perez, Sarsore. That's all

509
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: from his Talbot magazine piece. Let me just tell you Inez,

510
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: I interviewed Bob Bland. She's a ludentic. Yeah. And by

511
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: the way, Linda Sarsour opens at a rally for Jilla brand.

512
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: So these these folks were well integrated into the Democratic Party.

513
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: They were mainstream folks in the Democratic Party and as

514
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: you said, they got this, you know, sort of star

515
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: studded coverage from everything from serious coverage in places like

516
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: the New York Times and mainstream TV networks, but also

517
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean the glossy vagazine from from Conde nass all

518
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: the glamour shots and by the way, all of those donations.

519
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: Who talked about one of the other allegations from the

520
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: Tablet magpiece, and this has also been covered by The

521
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: Daily Beast in the past, is that a lot of

522
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: that money has sort of disappeared and there's some allegations

523
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: of financial impropriety on the part of these these Women's

524
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: March organizers. So again, all of this stuff would have

525
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: been immediately plastered on across the news were these women

526
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: the leaders of say conservative movement, But because they were

527
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: the leaders of the Women's March, a lot of this

528
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: stuff was sort of pushed down and ignored for years,

529
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: for almost two years, until finally this massive exposity gets published.

530
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, they're still trying to fight back

531
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: against this. So a lot of UM reporters and journalists

532
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: who tweeted out this Tablet magpiece received an email from

533
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: a PR firm hired by the Women's march basically asking

534
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: them to delete their critical tweets in exchange for unidentified,

535
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: off the record information. Can you imagine if, like the

536
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: press office of a White House for example, or going

537
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: back to Trump campaign, tweeted out or emails a bunch

538
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: of reporters and said, if you take back your critical tweets,

539
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: we might give you some off the record information. It

540
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: would be the end of journalism if he had done that.

541
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: But because they did that, it got a little mockery

542
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: from the right. But he's basically passed unnoticed. You know this,

543
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: this Women's March that's supposed to happen the end of January.

544
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: Is this gonna be? It's gonna be in DC, isn't it.

545
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna march right past my apartment, aren't they.

546
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: It's terrified. Oh they they they marched past my apartment

547
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: last year. But the fun part of the Women's March

548
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: last year to me is is, um I was actually

549
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: just trying to try to go see a movie with

550
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: my husband and got like sort of caught up in

551
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: this this march and tried to get through. But the

552
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: funniest part of it to me was like they all

553
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: went for brunch afterwards, apparently because I was sitting in

554
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: restaurants and all around me where women enjoying expensive brunches

555
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: with the P word hats on their heads, and they

556
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: left their signs all over the city. And this is

557
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: you know, this is sort of par for the course, right,

558
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: are you and some of the other conservative women of

559
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: DC considering a very a very state and polite counter

560
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: protests where you're all showing up and you know, just

561
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 1: holding up signs with things like we don't hate men,

562
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: and we actually believe in you know, in life and

563
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: having babies and you know, things like that at anything

564
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: of the works. Um well, I asked Independent Women's Form.

565
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: We're definitely planning on covering the women's march. I don't

566
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: know if we're going to counter protest protest it yet

567
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: or if we're just going to maybe and ask some

568
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: pointed questions that these marches. I don't know exactly what

569
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: that covered is going to look like yet, but we're

570
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: definitely planning on being there and pushing back against this narrative, right,

571
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: because it's always it's always the groups on the left

572
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: that then claim to speak for women as a whole. Right.

573
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: It's it's never the group on the right that claim

574
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: to speak for all women. It's always National Organization for Women,

575
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: the Women's March. Well, let me tell you, all women

576
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: don't support the Women's March. They don't support the anti

577
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: semitism of Wonderstar Store and Jamaica Mallory and and they

578
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 1: definitely don't support a lot of the fringe beliefs of

579
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: the far left feminist agenda. So those those are they

580
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: represent themselves, They represent, you know, a certain percentage of women.

581
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: But really, at the end of the day, less than

582
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 1: a third of American women even call themselves to even

583
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: identify as feminists. So really, these women are representing a

584
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: very small group of people in this country. All right,

585
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: in as filter everybody Independent Women's Forum and look for

586
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,319

Speaker 1: to build something that will not make our border more secure.

613
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: They say a wall is racist. The President went to

614
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 1: the heart of what I call his brown menace theory.

615
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: These migrants, they're dirty people, They bring disease. This border

616
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: wall thing is about controlling the browning of America. Donald

617
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: Trump is fixated on the southern border, as he was

618
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: the day that he announced this campaign. It is not

619
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 1: about securing the borders. It is about xenophobic, racist, bigoted beliefs.

620
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: Which one is it? Or is it both walls are

621
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: racist and walls don't work. I'm just wondering, if walls

622
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: don't work, why do Republicans want it so badly? Or

623
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: at least, why does Trump wanted so badly? Why do

624
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: people who voted for Trump wanted so badly? We should

625
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: we should feel comfortable digging into these questions a little bit, because,

626
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: first of all, of course a wall works, oh and

627
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: the other the other objection to it is that it's

628
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: so expensive. Bernie Sanders's very pricey to wall. It's gonna

629
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: call it so much money. It's gonna be so expensive.

630
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: I want to do play five. I think water security

631
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: is enormously important, but I think building a wall is

632
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: a very costly and inefficient way to do that. And

633
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm not alone. I mean, many experts think given the

634
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: kind of technology that we have today, we can protect

635
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 1: those southern bat without building the wall and spending five

636
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: billion dollars. Furthermore, I'm not quite sure he may, but

637
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure that he has the boats in

638
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: the house. That last part is a non secretary. I mean,

639
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: it's irrelevant. It's not Democrat job to worry about whether

640
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: Republicans have the votes in the House. Okay, Senator Sanders

641
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 1: can leave that up to the Republican Congress. But notice

642
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: how with each of the objections, when you push back

643
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, when you look at the facts a

644
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: little bit more, the objection starts to fall apart. Let's

645
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: start with this. It's they say it's racist. Okay. Is

646
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: the Israeli border wall racist? Okay that some of them

647
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: might say, Some lives in this country probably say yes.

648
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: Is the wall that the Saudis are building, the fence

649
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: that Saudis are building between Saudi Arabia and Yemen? Is

650
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: that racist? Is the wall in the western Sahara racist?

651
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: Is the demilitarized zone between North and So I'm not

652
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: saying it's a good idea, if it's fair. I'm just

653
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: at is it racist? Is the barrier between North and

654
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: South Korea? Is that racist? You know? What about the

655
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: what about the fence that we have in San Diego?

656
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: Is that racist if we tear it down because it's

657
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: a monument to racism. If the answers no, I'd like

658
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: to know why. In terms of the cost we just

659
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: hit pretty much today. I think it's official twenty two

660
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: trillion dollars in debt. We are twenty two trillion dollars

661
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: in debt as a country. That is an astonishing number

662
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: considering that it wasn't long ago at all that we

663
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: weren't even into double digits on our national debt, and

664
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: yet here we are. We are spending ourselves into oblivion.

665
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 1: Our political system is effectively now built upon intergenerational theft.

666
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: Our political system is built upon people passing laws that

667
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: give benefits today based on IOUs that those in the

668
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: future will have to pay. That's not the way a

669
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: responsible country is wrong. But nonetheless, when you're twenty two

670
00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: trillion dollars in debt and you have a major crisis

671
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: continuing to occur at the border, I don't want to

672
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: hear about how five billion dollars is too much to

673
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: spend on something that is absolutely critical to US sovereignty

674
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: into rule of law. So the notion that the real

675
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: issue here has cost is laughable. And I'm consistent on this.

676
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: People will point out that the Muller probe, for example,

677
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: has cost has cost money, and I always say to them, yes,

678
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: I understand the Muller probe has cost money, But if

679
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: there really was Russian collusion, fifty million dollars wouldn't be

680
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: too much to pay to find that out. The reason

681
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: the Muller probe is too much money isn't because it's

682
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: in principle too much money. It's because the whole thing

683
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 1: is a witch hunt. It's a waste, it's a crock,

684
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: it's a joke. A border wall is certainly not that.

685
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: Oh and then Chuck and Nancy all of a sudden

686
00:41:53,960 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: they are experts on the wall play four deed border security.

687
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: The wall is a part of border security. You can't

688
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: have very good border security without the wall. Knows that

689
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: is a political promise. Border security is a way too

690
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: effectively on our I respond, the experts say you can

691
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: do border security without a wall, which is wasteful and

692
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: doesn't solve the problem. I mean when he says that,

693
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: when he says the experts say. I always want to

694
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: push back and say, well, what about the head of

695
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: border patrol, what about the head of customs enforcement? The

696
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: people that have been working on the border for years

697
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: and years and years, they say that a wall is

698
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: immensely helpful. So are they just misinformed? Are they paid

699
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: for by big wall, you know, instead of big oil?

700
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: I just want to know why are they so confused?

701
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: Who are these experts? Are these immigration attorneys and activists

702
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: that they're citing that that say that you don't need

703
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: a wall to do this. A wall would certainly help,

704
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: and it has helped in many places as we know.

705
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: Here is David Rubin, who was the former mayor of Shiloh, Israel,

706
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: talking about what the wall in Israel did for their security,

707
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: for their safety, and for the population of the state

708
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: of Israel. Play clip eight. Between two thousand and ten

709
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: and two thousand and twelve, there were fifty five thousand

710
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants into Israel. The rapes and murders in southern

711
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: Tel Aviv skyrocket skyrocketed in those few years. The Israeli

712
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: government made a decision that they were going to build

713
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: the wall, a high tech steel wall on the southern

714
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: border in two thousand and sixteen, the wall was up.

715
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: Two sixteen, there were eleven illegal immigrants who entered Israel,

716
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: and then they raised the height of the wall additional

717
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: several feet, and in two thousands seventeen there was not

718
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: one illegal immigrant that made it through the southern border

719
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 1: into Israel. So this is a remarkable works. It works

720
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: from fifty five thousand across this one area into Israel

721
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: to zero. Now I understand that the lib argument here

722
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: as well. It might be fifty five thousand, but what

723
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: if a dozen people get across? Then you could say

724
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: a wall doesn't stop everybody. Yeah, but would you rather

725
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: have fifty five thousand illegal crossings or a dozen or

726
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: five or five hundred or even five thousand. Security is

727
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: about risk mitigation and doing the best you can with

728
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: what you have. We're not doing the best we can

729
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: with what we have. There's one other point, by the way,

730
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 1: that I wanted to make it that I think often

731
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: escapes the conversation here. You know, when people talk about

732
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: anchor babies, which I know now it's you're not supposed

733
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: to say this anymore. You know, they have different to

734
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: talk about family unification policy, reunification. It's not anchor babies.

735
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: One aspect of this that that does not get talked

736
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: about enough is that you know that when somebody has

737
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: a child in the United States and then they are

738
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: to be deported, even if they are a criminal, meaning

739
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: that they commit a crime here, if they had a

740
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: child in the United States, it's considered a family separation.

741
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: So if you are in America and you are a

742
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: member of a cartel, or you are somebody who's involved

743
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: in drug trafficking at a serious level, and you're supposed

744
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: to be deported from the country by Immigrations and Customs enforcement,

745
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 1: and you've had a kid in America, guess what. Now,

746
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 1: the liberal argument is, we can't deport that person because oh,

747
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: that's right, we're separating families. So the anchor isn't just

748
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: for people who are in America and might get deported otherwise, right.

749
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: The anchor then also extends to people who fall into

750
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: the criminal justice system. Now, now the argument is made

751
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: that you can't you can't deport them, you can only

752
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: incarceerate them for whatever their sentence is, because that would

753
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: be that would be breaking apart families. Meanwhile, people that

754
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: gets into prison who are just Americans, those families are

755
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: broken up every day, and Liberals don't shed any big

756
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: tears over that one. So there's a there's a lot

757
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: of dishonesty around this issue. But I saw Tom Holman

758
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: last night, and I always really like this guy. We

759
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: got I gotta chat with them a little bit. We

760
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: always whenever I see him in Fox we have a

761
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: discussion about the border. Here's what he says about things

762
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 1: play nine. I don't care if you're Republican, a Democrat.

763
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 1: Every one of those people should want to vote to

764
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: secure the border. There's no downside on securing a border,

765
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: less illegal immigration, less illegal drugs being smuggled. The wallship

766
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: proven they worked back in the early eighties. I was

767
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: a border TLAs standing on the line in San Diego.

768
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: Thousands came through every night. But once they built that

769
00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: border barrier, the illegal crossings decreased dramatically. It is proven

770
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: it worked in San Diego, you El Paso. It has

771
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: proven one percent effective. So why would we not want

772
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: a wall because they don't want it to be effective.

773
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Tom knows that, but that's the truth.

774
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: The problem with the wall is not that it doesn't work.

775
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: The problem that Democrats have with it is that it does,

776
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 1: which tells you everything you need to know about where

777
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: they really stand on immigration and how they really feel

778
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: about security at our southern border. You've got a lot

779
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: of liberals and a lot of conservatives DS talking about

780
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: maybe there needs to be a breakup of the monopoly

781
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: that these social media companies have because of the ideological

782
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: bias on display. Well that's one option, but you know

783
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,879
Speaker 1: what a better option is, just have a platform where

784
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about bias. That's snippy dot Com.

796
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: dot com is your new alternative social media. I would

797
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: love to be able to regulate the content of speech.

798
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: The First Amendment prevents me from doing self, and that's

799
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 1: simply a function of the First Amendment. But I think

800
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 1: over the long run, it's better that government does not

801
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: regulate the content of speech. That's a Ted Lou Congressman Lou,

802
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: who you know, is increasingly popular in these progressive commentary

803
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: circles on TV because he's you know, he's a guy

804
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: like to drop the rhetorical bombs. But once again, you

805
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: get liberals here really telling you what's in their heart,

806
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: what's in their mind, what they really think about certain issues,

807
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: and on the speech police situation and the desire of

808
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,240
Speaker 1: social media platforms and college campuses and now corporate America

809
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: to regulate the content of speech. Understand that, you know,

810
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: even when you have a Congressman who's supposed to be

811
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: all about upholding defending the Constitution, they if they're Democrats,

812
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: they would like to be able to tell you what

813
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: you can and can't say. And they have the hubrists

814
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: and the arrogance to believe that they know what's best

815
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,479
Speaker 1: for you to be able to say and not say.

816
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: But they got to kind of admit that there's a

817
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: little problem there with the First Amendment, at least when

818
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: it comes to the government. Yeah, technically the government probably

819
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing content, but they they want to be

820
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: in a position to dictate to you. And that totalitarian

821
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 1: impulse is in and of itself problematic, and you see

822
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: it now operating at so many different levels on the left.

823
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: You see it among people in the government who are

824
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: embracing language language restrictions that are constantly changing too and

825
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: are only becoming more restrictive. Right, we're never told, oh

826
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: you can actually you can talk about that issue. It

827
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: turns out we were wrong and we can have a

828
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: free and open debate about this. No, it's just more

829
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: and more things are being taken off the table, you know,

830
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: more areas of debate and inquiry and discussion are are

831
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: essentially roped off from discourse. This has been going, This

832
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: has been a longstanding project of the left to change

833
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: the way we can talk, to change the way that

834
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: you know, we are allowed to discussion issues because as

835
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: I as I've mentioned you many times, if they can

836
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: determine the words for you. They can largely direct the

837
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: thoughts for you. They can influence debated discussion in ways

838
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: that it's hard to even quantify and really even understand,

839
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: because we're just now automatically the grounds of the discussion

840
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: or are moving toward what they want, toward the policy

841
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: ends that they would prefer. But free speeches under is

842
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: under a very direct assault in this country, and it's

843
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: only going to get worse before it gets better. I mean,

844
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: the social media platforms are obviously a big part of this.

845
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: But you know, Democrats now and you know, by the way,

846
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 1: this is also you know, I go back and forth

847
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: with what should we do? How do we fight back

848
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: against this? You know, you've had you have sometimes these

849
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: these Hollywood lib types get away with saying really offensive stuff.

850
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Mika Brazinski just said somebody was

851
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: a blank boy, and you know that that the president

852
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: was acting in this way, and she's not she's not

853
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna fire because she's in tight with MSNBC. I don't

854
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: know why anyone likes that show. Morning Joe. I really

855
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: struggle with what the what the upside of it is.

856
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: But then then you know there are other times and

857
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: people that you think maybe are are above reproach and

858
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: they get can't. You know, then the heart of tyranny,

859
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: and whether it's the tyranny of government or the tyranny

860
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: of a society that is abandoning principles of freedom, abandoning

861
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: principles regarding liberty, the heart of tyranny is not the

862
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: draconian enforcement of regulations, standards, and laws. It's the theckless.

863
00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 1: It's the you know, the the constantly changing. It's the

864
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: capriciousness in the enforcement of laws. It's people saying, yeah, well,

865
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: you know you said that, so you get fired. You

866
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 1: said something very similar, but you don't get fired because

867
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: you know what that means. The person with all the

868
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: power is the person deciding, the person with that discretion. See,

869
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of like what we see with the DOJ

870
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: and the FBI, right, I mean, the big problem is

871
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: not that laws on perjury and processes around investigations are

872
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: too strict. It's that they're only too strict when it

873
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: comes to Republicans, to conservatives, to Trump allies. Well, this

874
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: is obviously politically motivated, and that's why that keeps happening.

875
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: We also see this with the speech police, whether we're

876
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: talking about you know, Kevin Hart, or we're talking about Mikabridginsky.

877
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 1: You know, there's these different standards that evolve for individuals

878
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: based upon where they fall in the political spectrum, and

879
00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 1: it's just exhausting. I would love for this to be

880
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: the case in this country. I would love for us

881
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: to be in a place where we have some some hope,

882
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: some sense that you know, the the standard will at

883
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: least be uniformly applied when it comes to what's unacceptable

884
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: to say, when it comes to what's far too you

885
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 1: know what, what's beyond the pale. But you know, we're

886
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: not there. We're not there. And what really separates ideologically,

887
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: what separates a left from the right in the most

888
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: general terms, is they always think that they should be

889
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: the ones in control because they believe that their judgment

890
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: on these matters and their ability to use state power

891
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: to exercise that judgment, that they think that they always

892
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: know what the best way is. It's it's troubling, but

893
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: this is what's going to happen. Um. By the way,

894
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, the speaking of these ABC is going to

895
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: bring back the Connors for season two. The ratings were

896
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: actually good. You know, Roseanne got fired for for you know,

897
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: a racist tweet one one racist tweet, he's out, homophobic

898
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 1: comment for micause she's not out. You know. Yeah, how

899
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: do you engage these things? Well, it depends on what

900
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: the executive at the time think and how much heat

901
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 1: they're willing to take. But it looks like they're going

902
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: to bring back that show the Connors, which I think

903
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 1: is kind of a surprise. John, if did you see it? Mike,

904
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 1: did you see this? I never saw it. I don't

905
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: know if I don't, I didn't see it. I saw

906
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,720
Speaker 1: the first Roseanne. I did not think the first Roseanne

907
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,320
Speaker 1: was funny. The new one, Noah, Yeah, the first episode

908
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: was okay, it was it was just, you know, it

909
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: felt a little contrived to me, the whole thing. But yeah,

910
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: this is you know, the speech and the way that

911
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: people get judged by these things. You know, there's a

912
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: lot of money, a lot of jobs that can hang

913
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: in the balance on this stuff. So we shall see.

914
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: I gotta talk to you about the Kashogi situation. I

915
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: know we've you know, you got an update on this.

916
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: The Senate has taken an action. It's not important. It's

917
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 1: an action that won't result in any further action most likely,

918
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: But we've got to get to the heart of what's

919
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: going on here with this foreign policy. Oh and by

920
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: the way, I stumbled into some protesters last night who

921
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: were protesting at a White House official's house, and I

922
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: happen to walk right in the middle of that protest

923
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: and speak to their organizers. I got some exclusive audio

924
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: for you. You are now entering the Freedom Technical Operations Center.

925
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: All sensitive programs must be kept strictly. Need to know

926
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: Team Buck is cleared and ready for the Buck brief.

927
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: Some breaking news. The Senate voted just a couple of

928
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:38,760
Speaker 1: hours ago, fifty seven to thirty eight to end US

929
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 1: military involvement in Yemen. As lawmakers are still very very

930
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: upset over the killing of Koshogi and what they say

931
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 1: is the unacceptable response of the Trump administration to this.

932
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: All right, this like Russia is turning into its own

933
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: form of hysteria and pushing us closer and closer to

934
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,760
Speaker 1: some very bad decision making. I think let's just start

935
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: with this. Jamal Kashogi is not an American citizen, was

936
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: not a citizen, was not a permanent resident. Jamal Kashogi

937
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: was not a US national. This is not one of

938
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 1: ours who was killed in a foreign consulate, on foreign

939
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: soil by a foreign entity. He's not, And there was

940
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: a lot of lying. I checked into this to make

941
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: sure that the that I have this right, because I

942
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: think it's really important. We were being told for weeks,

943
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: weeks and weeks that he was a Green card holder.

944
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: A Green card holder, which means he's he's a permanent

945
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: resident of America. He could stay here his whole life,

946
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: his kids will be Americans. That is false. He was

947
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: an O one visa holder. He was a visitor to

948
00:57:55,760 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: this country who wrote a column for the Washington Post. Now,

949
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: none of that mitigates the brutal torture and murder that

950
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: he suffered. That doesn't change anything, but it does affect

951
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: the US responsibility for a major response to this. So

952
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: let's just all be very clear. There was an obvious

953
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: effort early on to create the perception that Kashogi was

954
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: a US person. We need to do more. America need

955
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: to speak up for one of its own here, and

956
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: we need to take decisive action to punish Saudi Arabia

957
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: for this, not just to speak out, but but to

958
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: make sure that they feel consequences for it. And only

959
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: now that you've that they've got this cycle of oh

960
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: my gosh, Kashogi, and you know, Kashogi's now part of

961
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: the people that are honored for being Time magazine, you know,

962
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: person of the Year along with and I'm not trying

963
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: to be controversial here, but you know that that newspaper

964
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: in Maryland where there is the mass shooting, they're also

965
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: they're also covered in this Man of the Year or

966
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: a Person of the Year in Time magazine. And they

967
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: weren't killed because of the danger of their journalism assignments.

968
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: This was a personal feud with a psychopath who went

969
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: in and shot them all, and it shot five of them.

970
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: And in essence, this is the equivalent of a postal

971
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: worker who goes in and shoots a bunch of people

972
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: who used to work with or something. I mean, this

973
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: is a that was a personal grudge, you know. To

974
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: say that that's a guardians of our democracy situation is

975
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a terrible situation. It's a tragedy, but

976
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: I think it's something of a stretch to include that

977
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: and it's a guardian of our democracy. Yeah, they were

978
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: doing their jobs and some of them got shot because

979
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: there was a maniac running around who didn't like some

980
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: of the stories that they had written. But it wasn't

981
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: because they were speaking truth to power. It was just

982
00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: a crazy person. But back to Kashogi if I can

983
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: for a moment here, But the Senate has done is

984
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: essentially senatorial virtue signaling. The House has already made it

985
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: clear that they're not going to go ahead with this measure,

986
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: that there's not going to be any real change in

987
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: US foreign policy visa vie the Saudis because of it.

988
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 1: But they're they're just wanted to get on record, and

989
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: it's because the elites, the establishment inside the Beltway and

990
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: in the media here in America has made the Kashogi

991
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: issue really just a big opportunity to bash Trump, and

992
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: that's why they're so fixated on this. This is why

993
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: Jamal Kashogi is the most famous, well known dissident to

994
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: have been killed by a foreign power by far, despite

995
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: the fact that there are a whole bunch of people

996
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: in recent years who have been killed by Russia, who

997
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, who have been taken out as a result

998
01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: of their criticisms of a regime. And it's because there's

999
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: a tie in here where they're able to bash Trump

1000
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: and anytime you can bash Trump, journalists get very very

1001
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: excited and they're very interested obviously about that opportunity. But

1002
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: our policy in Saudi with back in Saudi Arabia and

1003
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: specifically the war in Yemen, is that we don't want

1004
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: Yemen to fall into the hands of an enemy. And

1005
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: that's what would occur. If the Saudis weren't engaged in

1006
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: this bombing campaign, you would have the Hoothies, who are

1007
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: a Shia faction inside of Yemen who are backed by

1008
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: the Iranians. You'd have the Hoothies likely able to seize power.

1009
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 1: You also have a very active Al Qaeda branch in Yemen,

1010
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: and we're trying to suppress that and support the legitimate

1011
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: government as we see it inside of Yemen, and the

1012
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: Saudis are our best proxy for doing that. But this

1013
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: is all because of Ira and this is because of

1014
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: some very serious interests we have at preventing the southern

1015
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: portion of the Arabian Peninsula from effectively becoming a launch

1016
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: pad for terrorist attacks. Remember Al Kaeda in the Arabian

1017
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: Peninsula was just a few years ago. Consider the most

1018
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: active terror franchise at external plotting, meaning coming after the

1019
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: US and its interests. Al Kaida and the Arabian Peninsula

1020
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: has been behind some very high profile international attacks and

1021
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: attempted attacks in Europe and in the United States. So

1022
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: we can try to pretend like there's no real US

1023
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: interest in what's going on and Yem unfortunate, it's not true.

1024
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: And on the humanitarian side, and I'm somebody who has

1025
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: been trying to raise the alarm about what's going on

1026
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: in Yemen for a long time. We've done segments at

1027
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 1: Hill TV. Look, I'm just gonna tell you this. We

1028
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: did a segment five months ago at least on Hill

1029
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: TV about the war in Yemen and how it's the

1030
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: biggest humanitarian disaster in the world, and it just didn't

1031
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: get very much attention. People didn't seem that interested in

1032
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: that particular story. And I don't know, I can't Maybe

1033
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 1: we just didn't do a good enough job presenting it.

1034
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: I would think that the biggest humanitarian crisis on planet

1035
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: Earth would be something a lot of people were interested in.

1036
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: But I mean other journals, I mean other people in

1037
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: the media who saw us covering that. Not a lot

1038
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: a lot of high level at a lot of high

1039
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: level interest. And I think in general, there hasn't been

1040
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: that much interest until now because now it is look

1041
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: at out terrible yemen is. Look at what the Saudis

1042
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: are doing. Trump is so nice to the Saudis. This

1043
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: is all about bashing Trump. You know. They just keep

1044
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: using this kind of transitive property of criticism to eventually

1045
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: bring it back to how Trump is the bad guy here.

1046
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: You know. I would note that these same journals who

1047
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: were writing a lot of stories now about what's going

1048
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: on with the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, were pretty muted

1049
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: for a long time about the fact that the Obama

1050
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: administration presided over a supposed coalition to end the war

1051
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: in Syria, which is now killed close to six hundred

1052
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: thousand people, and there was not a unified voice from

1053
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 1: journalists saying that Obama had failed, despite the fact that

1054
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be US leadership. Remember, we're the

1055
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: ones that negotiated with the Assad regime to get the

1056
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: chemical weapons out. You know, that was a John Kerry

1057
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 1: Barack Obama move. You know, they were very much involved,

1058
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 1: and the whole thing was a disaster. Syria has just

1059
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: been gutted topped to bottom. I mean, Syria is a

1060
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: shadow of its former self as a country, and there

1061
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: was a lot of just incompetence on a splitting the

1062
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: abaministration during that, and it was just it was never

1063
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 1: really Obama's fault, though they never really wanted to say

1064
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: that Obama was making bad decisions there. Meanwhile, we're not

1065
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 1: the ones that are bombing Yemen. The Saudis are bombing Yemen.

1066
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: But we want the Saudis to be able to back

1067
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: the legitimate government in Yemen over rebel groups that are

1068
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: proxies for Iran and over all Qaeda. And we're supposed

1069
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: to change all that and give up that policy, shift

1070
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: around that policy because a foreigner, let's just say it,

1071
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: I mean, a foreign journalist was killed in a foreign

1072
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: country by a foreign entity, and this is now all

1073
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: America's problem. I mean, this guy was not one of ours.

1074
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: And so why are we so much more, you know,

1075
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: orders of magnitude more upset about this than the journalists

1076
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: who are tortured and killed in places like Turkey and

1077
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: places like Russia and places all over the world. You

1078
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: know what the answer is, It's not about the best

1079
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: interests of the American people. It's not about us foreign

1080
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: policy and geopolitics. It's about can it be attributed to Trump?

1081
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: Is it an opportunity to bash Trump? That's why they're

1082
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: so interested in this. It's really gross. You know, I

1083
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: do have to ask the question. I've got to keep

1084
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: it real. Why does the president have some of these

1085
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: just utter bozos from his past that he brought into

1086
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: this administration? You know what? It motivates the president to

1087
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 1: do this because there have been some people who Does

1088
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: anyone want to make excuses for Amorosa? The President certainly doesn't.

1089
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 1: Does anyone want to make excuses for the much as

1090
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 1: Scaramucci the President? Well, I guess they're on good terms. Now.

1091
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Does anyone want to want to talk about how great

1092
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: Steve Bannon is? I mean, I don't know. I don't

1093
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: hear a lot of that. Certainly, I don't hear much

1094
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: of it when it comes to Cohen, including from the

1095
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 1: President who says that Cohen is now terrible. So why

1096
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: would somebody as terrible as Cohen get as close to

1097
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: never mind the President United States, a successful businessman like

1098
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Well, good news we got the president to

1099
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 1: give an answer today if we can. Michael Cohen, he

1100
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: was your attorney three years. He was sentenced yesterday and

1101
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: It may seem like he got a break because it

1102
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: could have been twice as much, but it's still three

1103
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: years in federal prison, five hundred thousand dollars in restitution.

1104
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: This was someone who surreptitiously recorded you is now known

1105
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: as a criminal liar. Yet this was someone who was

1106
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: in your inner circle. Yeah, well it happens. I mean,

1107
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: look what happens. I hire usually good people, but it

1108
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: just happened. Why did you hire Michael Cohen? First of all,

1109
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 1: that was his title of very low level work. Why

1110
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: did you need more public relations than he did law?

1111
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 1: But he did so. If you'd see him on television,

1112
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: he was okay in television. But years ago, many years,

1113
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 1: like twelve thirteen years ago, he did me a favor?

1114
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: Did Trump a favor? I've heard this before, and I've

1115
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: been wondering when we'll finally get to find out what

1116
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: this favor was that got Cohen so deep into the

1117
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: President's good graces that he would become he's certainly in

1118
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: his inner circle. I mean, he's a guy who was

1119
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 1: very close to the president for a number of years.

1120
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody disputes that. So what, in fact

1121
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: was this favor? Well, the President told us listen, he

1122
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: was on a committee and he was so responsive and

1123
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: so good, and I said, he's a nice guy. I

1124
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,719
Speaker 1: shouldn't wait a minute, Wait a minute, that was the favor,

1125
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 1: because people have been asking, well, what is the favor

1126
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 1: that he did the president? He was on a committee

1127
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: with you. Was on a committee. It was a condominium

1128
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: committee many years ago, and he was a very big

1129
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: supporter of mine on that committee. I did a great job.

1130
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 1: Trump World Tower to a very tall building right opposite

1131
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,120
Speaker 1: the United Nations. And when you build a building, people

1132
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: always get together at the end and they make a

1133
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 1: settlement with the owner. They say the ceiling wasn't painted

1134
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: the right color or something. You know, stuff sometimes serious stup.

1135
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: But in my case, it was a great building and

1136
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 1: he was in the committee. I thought he was a

1137
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: great guy. I thought he was really a nice guy

1138
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 1: who was very supportive. You know, I'll say this, when

1139
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: you've actually gotten to know somebody and they're not asking

1140
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,759
Speaker 1: you for something or that, you're not in a position

1141
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: where you feel like they inherently have an interest in

1142
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: making you think one thing or another, you often get

1143
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: a better sense of who you're dealing with, and you

1144
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: feel like you want to bring people into your professional

1145
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 1: life that you know from just life in general. And

1146
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 1: I feel this way in media. The people that i've well,

1147
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: certainly people i've worked with in the past. It's a

1148
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: little different. People i've worked with in the past are

1149
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: if I've had a good experience, the first people that

1150
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 1: I want to work with in the future. And I

1151
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 1: also think that loyalty is a very important trait to have.

1152
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 1: It's also a very important trait to respect, you know,

1153
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: it's a very important trait that we should want other

1154
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: people to have as well. And to do that means

1155
01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: that you have to reward people for loyalty. So President

1156
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: is not a politician. I mean, I don't think that

1157
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: he well he wasn't a politician before he's president, obviously,

1158
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 1: but I don't think that he thought of the people

1159
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: that he was bringing in as possible liabilities. I also

1160
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: think that there was so little prep in many ways

1161
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: for the possibility that he was really going to be

1162
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 1: the next president the United States and leader of the

1163
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: free world, that there was a lot of learning on

1164
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,760
Speaker 1: the job about who to give certain jobs to. And

1165
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: I think that's been quite clearly the case. But I

1166
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,680
Speaker 1: go back and forth on this one because I am frustrated.

1167
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm frustrated the President has given so much authority and

1168
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: so much trust while he's the occupant of the White

1169
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: House to just utter Bozo's third tier people when it

1170
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 1: comes to their ethics and their intellects. Honestly, there's a

1171
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: lot of them that are really low grade individuals and

1172
01:10:56,360 --> 01:11:01,560
Speaker 1: they've been given incredibly powerful positions. So that's been a disappointment.

1173
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: And there are disappointments about this presidency. You know, we're

1174
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: going to have to start to face up to some

1175
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: of the things that aren't what we wanted, aren't what

1176
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: was promised. It's not to say that I don't still

1177
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: support the President's not to say I'm not still just

1178
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 1: forever grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president. I

1179
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: get it. But you know, on this one, on his

1180
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 1: choice of advisors, and I'm not bitter that he hasn't

1181
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 1: given me the chief of staff job. Okay, don't no, No,

1182
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm not not bitter, you know, I mean, would I

1183
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 1: be an amazing White House chief of staff, of course,

1184
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 1: of course, But has the President asked me yet? No, No,

1185
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: he has not. But seriously, I do think that the

1186
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: President gets a bit of leeway as well, or should

1187
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 1: get leeway for wanting to have people around that he

1188
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 1: feels at some level he can really trust because he

1189
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 1: is encircled with enemies all the time. I mean, he

1190
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: is besieged in a way that no president in my

1191
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:57,719
Speaker 1: lifetime has ever been. He cannot talk to or trust

1192
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: most members of the press, he cannot talk to or

1193
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:04,799
Speaker 1: trust talk openly, at least honestly to many senior government

1194
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 1: officials and people who are career government servants. He has

1195
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: to be wary of them, and I think the President

1196
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: would be foolish not to be. But yeah, we were

1197
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 1: told that it's because Cohen, you know, a long time

1198
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:19,600
Speaker 1: ago did him a solid when he was on a

1199
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 1: condo board, and that's how it all happened. You know,

1200
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 1: it's you know what is the power of weak associations?

1201
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just bump into somebody and that person changes

1202
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 1: your life for better or war for worse. I think

1203
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: with Cohen it's for worse. So we'll continue to follow

1204
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: this and got a big our three coming up. I

1205
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:43,640
Speaker 1: bumped into some protesters last night. Yeah, that's right. I

1206
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 1: would they tend to find me or I don't know.

1207
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: We just I have a sixth sense about these things.

1208
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: But I found one of these, one of these anti

1209
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: White House Administration official mobile protests going on last night,

1210
01:12:56,120 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: and I interviewed the protest leader, asked about immigration, asked

1211
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: him about what the heck are you doing here? Are

1212
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 1: you harassing people? You'll want to hear that conversation. And

1213
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 1: that's upright in just a few minutes. And I practically

1214
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 1: slipped into a food coma yesterday after I finished off

1215
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: some delicious pork chops courtesy of Omaha Steaks. And right now,

1216
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: Omaha Steaks is giving an amazing limited time offer to

1235
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: walking home and sure enough I stumble upon a protest

1236
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,839
Speaker 1: going on in the streets at DC. It's a funky

1237
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: assortment of folks. They are dancing, there's a lot of

1238
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 1: loud music, about thirty or forty protesters in a few

1239
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:38,759
Speaker 1: dozen police following them around as they block the streets

1240
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: and generally just make a lot of noise. So I figured, hey,

1241
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a media person, a journal an opinion journalist,

1242
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 1: if you will, maybe I'll stop and ask these folks

1243
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: what the heck are you doing here? And this is

1244
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 1: how that went. Mus for us nas sir, and I'm

1245
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,719
Speaker 1: the founding organizer of Work for Peace. Okay, let's Worked

1246
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 1: for Peace. Work for Pieces a queer and transgress roots

1247
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 1: movement that uses all forms of dance to promote peace.

1248
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 1: We were founded in response to the Pulse nightclub shooting

1249
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: to bring the dance lore into the streets to start

1250
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: that we are here and we will dance. And we're

1251
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: best known for our dance protests in front of Mike

1252
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:21,360
Speaker 1: Pence's house and Avunca Trump's house. And so why are

1253
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 1: you here right now in this location? So right here

1254
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: is the apartment complex where Stephen Miller lives. Stephen Miller, Well,

1255
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: would you look at that? I stumbled onto one of

1256
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 1: these protests at the home groups right. These are the

1257
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 1: people or among the people who find out where a

1258
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 1: prominent person that they disagree with politically lives, and they

1259
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 1: gather outside their home and try to make a lot

1260
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: of noise at night when they think the person is

1261
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 1: likely to be there. You'll recall this happened and was

1262
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 1: rather aggressive and terrifying outside of Tucker Carlson's home not

1263
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 1: long ago. It's happened in other places. My understanding is

1264
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 1: this isn't even the first time they've done this. To

1265
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:08,760
Speaker 1: White House Senior advisor or senior aid whatever his title is,

1266
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller. They've done this before, although I've never seen

1267
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: them doing it like this. Now. Is this group intimidating, No,

1268
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: there were police everywhere. This was a group that was

1269
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: honestly dancing in the streets. That was their whole thing.

1270
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: They're dancing in the streets, but they're playing very loud

1271
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 1: music and they're harassing somebody. So I wanted to ask

1272
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 1: a little more about why they choose these tactics. Remember

1273
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm speaking to the organizer of this group. I wanted

1274
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,679
Speaker 1: to ask them why they choose these tactics and what

1275
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: they think about the issues overall. So strap in, folks,

1276
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: it gets interesting. The architect of family separation and the

1277
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 1: architect of using tear gas on migrant families, women and

1278
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: children who are at the border with the migrant teara beans.

1279
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,719
Speaker 1: So we're here to send a clear message to Stephen

1280
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: Millern his immigration policies that he is pioneering are not

1281
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 1: tolerated by our communities. Why following to his house, though,

1282
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 1: why not just protest outside the White House. We're you

1283
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: to have higher visibility because some people might think this

1284
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 1: is harassment. Well, we were at the White House and

1285
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: then we came to his apartment complex. And when we

1286
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 1: think about harassment, what comes first to mind for me

1287
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:27,040
Speaker 1: is ICE individuals breaking into migrant and refugee households and

1288
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: tearing them from their families and putting them in jail.

1289
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 1: What comes to mind is Roxanna, a trans LATINEX individual

1290
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 1: who was kept in ice, dehydrated and beaten by ICE

1291
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: officials for ten days before she should we abolishize? Oh,

1292
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: just to be clear here, I ask this protest leader

1293
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 1: about whether it's harassment to gather outside the private home

1294
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: of somebody who works in the White House in the

1295
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 1: US government, And the response I get is not really

1296
01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:00,520
Speaker 1: about whether it's harassment of that person. It's real harassment

1297
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 1: is what ICE does to people at the border. I mean,

1298
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,639
Speaker 1: I would just know that this is when people talk

1299
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,839
Speaker 1: about what about is m This is a first class,

1300
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 1: a one choice USDA example of what about ism has

1301
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 1: nothing to do with anything that I'm really talking about here.

1302
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you are leading a protest outside of a

1303
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 1: person's home where they are operating their capacities as a

1304
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: private citizen, Like I'd like to have dinner and go

1305
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 1: to sleep like a normal person, and you're making a

1306
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: lot of noise and you're trying to embarrass them in

1307
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 1: front of the people who live around them. And your

1308
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: answer to that as well, they're bad things that happened

1309
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 1: to the border. By the way, to say that Stephen

1310
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 1: Miller is the architect of tear gassing migrants in the border,

1311
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 1: that's false. As we know, the Obama administration used tear

1312
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: gas at the border. In fact, tear gas is a

1313
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: often used, often used technique of law enforcement for crowd

1314
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: control and crowd dispersal. So that has nothing to do

1315
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: with Stephen Miller at the border. And the notion of

1316
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 1: or the policy of child separation at the border that

1317
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 1: was occurring under the Obama administration not in the same

1318
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 1: numbers as it has under the under the Trump administration.

1319
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: But also you did not have a flood of people

1320
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 1: trying to abuse our system and come across the border

1321
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 1: by the tens of thousands. But then we get into

1322
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 1: a little more of what this guy thinks about policy.

1323
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 1: Get ready for it. We're here to advocate to abolish ice,

1324
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: to let them in, and to send a clear message

1325
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: to migrants and refugees in the caravan, that we are here,

1326
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: we support you, and we will continue to work until

1327
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 1: you are free and you are safe and secure. And

1328
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 1: do you think that we should have open borders? Yes,

1329
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 1: I do. I believe that when we think about the

1330
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 1: reason why borders are in place, when we think about

1331
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 1: US imperialism and how it has desecrated other countries, many

1332
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:56,639
Speaker 1: of these countries from where individuals are coming seeking refuge

1333
01:19:56,720 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: because of US imperialism. The US needs to open reporters.

1334
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 1: It needs to We need to find a safe and

1335
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: secure way to support the individuals whom we have marginalized

1336
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,720
Speaker 1: as the US population. All Right, A lot of big

1337
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 1: takeaways here. This is an interesting conversation with this guy. Now,

1338
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: I yes, he's a liberal loon. I will say he was.

1339
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 1: He was very polite. He let me stop. I said,

1340
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: I work for the Hill. I'd like to ask him

1341
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: some questions, and he was perfectly polite to me, and

1342
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 1: everybody there was kind of smiling and laughing. So you know,

1343
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: I always come to you from a place of honesty. Right.

1344
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 1: If I saw a bunch of menacing thug like you know,

1345
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:40,839
Speaker 1: jerks assembled outside, I mean these were like nice, happy, smiley,

1346
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 1: silly jerks. They were not menacing, They were not in

1347
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:46,680
Speaker 1: any way trying to intimidate anybody. I mean they were

1348
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 1: they were actually dancing in the streets with rainbow flags

1349
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: and rainbow colored clothing on. So and I don't think

1350
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 1: anybody was scared, but I also think that it was

1351
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 1: causing a bit of a disturbance. Anyway, Here's a guy

1352
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:00,839
Speaker 1: who has, as far as I under stand it, gathered

1353
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 1: many times, and this is one of the things that

1354
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,759
Speaker 1: he does. He's an activist, he's a left wing activist,

1355
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: and primarily on the issue of immigration. I noticed how

1356
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 1: when I ask him about open borders, he doesn't miss

1357
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: a beat. Yes, absolutely, we want open borders. When I

1358
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: asked him about whether ice should be abolished, he doesn't

1359
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: miss a beat. Absolutely, we should abolish ice. Now, these

1360
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 1: are positions that are increasingly common and widespread within the

1361
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:37,559
Speaker 1: modern Democrat party. These are not really fringe positions anymore.

1362
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're majority positions, but they're not fringe.

1363
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 1: You can find plenty of Democrats for whom this is

1364
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 1: the case. And I found most interesting that this guy,

1365
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:52,720
Speaker 1: immediately when I asked him about open borders, he says, yes,

1366
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 1: we should have open borders. You've heard me tell you

1367
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: this before, that the left believes that we owe it

1368
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: to the world that we owe to the rest of

1369
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: the world, bring them into our country, changing our culture

1370
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: to accommodate them, changing our laws to accommodate them, and

1371
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 1: giving them our stuff via the welfare state, because of

1372
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 1: all the injustice that the United States has done around

1373
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: the world over the many, many decades, all the wrongs

1374
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:25,800
Speaker 1: that we have committed. You see, it's to make up

1375
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 1: for colonialism, even though America was never a colonial power,

1376
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 1: but to make up for the legacy of Western imperialism,

1377
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 1: the mantle of which was taken from Great Britain and

1378
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 1: by the United States after the Second World War. So

1379
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 1: that's the mentality that's at the heart of a lot

1380
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 1: of this left wing activist thinking. And you're hearing a

1381
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:50,840
Speaker 1: left wing activists just say it, right, he's just coming

1382
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 1: out and saying it, Yeah, that's right. We have to

1383
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: take in all these margarets. Anyone wants to come to

1384
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 1: America should be able to come to America because we

1385
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:01,840
Speaker 1: owe it to them because of all the bad things

1386
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 1: we've done. This is very similar to the Obama point

1387
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 1: of view about how we have to make amends with

1388
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 1: the rest of the world, and we should limit the

1389
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: way that we use our power to our influence because

1390
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: of all the bad stuff America is done. Do you

1391
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 1: think that the Democratic Party is in line with your

1392
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 1: thinking on this? Do you think you'll have a candidate

1393
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty that will be pro open borders? Should

1394
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,599
Speaker 1: they just be honest about this. We're here to push

1395
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party to continue fighting for justice and to

1396
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 1: continue fighting for safety and security for migrants and refugees.

1397
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:36,639
Speaker 1: Do you have any concerns that following people to their

1398
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 1: homes to protest at night when they're not at their

1399
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 1: places of work is shutting down discussion, could be seen

1400
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 1: as intimidation, could be actually hurting your cause. We're here

1401
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:49,679
Speaker 1: to celebrate the queer entrance community. We're here to celebrate

1402
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: migrants and refugees. Now, put aside the silliness of a

1403
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: lot of what this guy says and his inability to

1404
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:59,479
Speaker 1: answer some pretty straightforward questions. He is in line with

1405
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 1: the Democrat base. He is in line with how they

1406
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 1: think about these things. This is where the Democrat Party

1407
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 1: is going. Open borders, abolish ice. We owe it to

1408
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the world who cares what happens to America.

1409
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 1: So in that sense, this protest was useful because I

1410
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 1: got to see how crazy they are. Well, the weather

1411
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 1: outside may be frightful, but the smell indoors is delightful.

1412
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 1: If you are drinking some delicious Black Rifle coffee, My friends,

1431
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: charitable times when it comes to public discourse. I think

1432
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:32,679
Speaker 1: we could all agree on that we do not see

1433
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people acting with mercy and forgiveness in

1434
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:40,680
Speaker 1: the way that they approach others in public life. And

1435
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 1: it's it's particularly pointed these days in the era of

1436
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: Get Trump at all costs. There you had a couple

1437
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 1: of hosts on the View who were really having a

1438
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: good laugh at the expense of Michael Cohen and saying

1439
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 1: he's a thog just like his boss, of course, Donald Trump,

1440
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: and that you know, karma is a B word, and

1441
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: you heard it, and they were the only ones. There

1442
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: was a lot of jubilation yesterday on social media from

1443
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 1: people that were just having a good laugh at the

1444
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,680
Speaker 1: fact that Michael Cohen's going to prison. Now. It goes

1445
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:20,560
Speaker 1: without saying that Michael Cohen is a individual who is

1446
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 1: ethically challenged, somebody who clearly was well beyond his skill

1447
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 1: set when it came to where he was in terms

1448
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 1: of access and influence, somebody who is not a model

1449
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 1: for any of us to follow, and he is paying

1450
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 1: a pretty hefty price, literally in the sense that he's

1451
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:43,400
Speaker 1: getting a big fine, and also that he will lose

1452
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,719
Speaker 1: three years of his life and his reputation is destroyed

1453
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:50,280
Speaker 1: and ruined. But I try to always be mindful of

1454
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: the fact that, you know, these political disputes that we have,

1455
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 1: when we turn it into a matter of cheering for

1456
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:00,639
Speaker 1: one side or the other to have people and to prison,

1457
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 1: we really debase ourselves in the process. I try very

1458
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:09,799
Speaker 1: hard not to do this. I'm reminded of a story

1459
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 1: that was told to me many years ago by I

1460
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:15,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't even call him a friend. He was an associate

1461
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 1: of mine in New York and he was not a

1462
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 1: nice guy. He was not somebody that I wanted to

1463
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 1: spend much time with or around. But he was one

1464
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: of those friend of a friend guys that would just

1465
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:31,680
Speaker 1: end up hanging around. And this is when we were

1466
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 1: I suppose a few years out of college and he

1467
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 1: was in law school, and he told me about how

1468
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: he had spent some time down at the at the

1469
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 1: Federal courthouse in New York City, and I forget even

1470
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:50,720
Speaker 1: the specific context of what it was that he was

1471
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: saying and how it was that this, but essentially said

1472
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:57,560
Speaker 1: that he was down there for the defense of a

1473
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:02,200
Speaker 1: guy who was on trial for insider trading, stock market fraud,

1474
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:05,439
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, and he said that showing up

1475
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 1: to this trial, we thought the whole time because everyone's

1476
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 1: wearing a suit and you're in a courtroom, and there's

1477
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: a certain normalcy that seeps in when you're in that courtroom.

1478
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 1: You know, this is just what people are doing, and

1479
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: it's easy to forget the stakes and everyone goes home

1480
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the proceeding and it just seems

1481
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:26,280
Speaker 1: like it's a process. It's a process. But I remember

1482
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:28,200
Speaker 1: he told me that at the end of that process

1483
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 1: there was a guilty verdict and this guy ended up

1484
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 1: or maybe even he took the plea, and it doesn't matter.

1485
01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:39,720
Speaker 1: He was it was clear at the end of the

1486
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:43,640
Speaker 1: process that the defendant was going to prison for some

1487
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,439
Speaker 1: period of time. And this friend of mine told me

1488
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 1: about how he heard and he will never forget it,

1489
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 1: or this associate of mine that he heard the wife

1490
01:28:54,600 --> 01:29:00,600
Speaker 1: just start sobbing, sobbing at the recognition that she was

1491
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:04,000
Speaker 1: going to be separated from her husband for a few years,

1492
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 1: sosabbing at the recognition that her family name would never

1493
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 1: be quite the same that somebody that she had partnered

1494
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:14,559
Speaker 1: up with for life and had children with. There were

1495
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 1: kids in this family too, that they had suffered this fate.

1496
01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 1: And you know, it's not a trial where people at

1497
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:25,960
Speaker 1: the end feel like, yeah, that's right, justice is done.

1498
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 1: This person is a terrible person. People get into desperate

1499
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: circumstances and they cheat on their taxes. People get into

1500
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 1: desperate circumstances and they engage in insider training or some

1501
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:42,120
Speaker 1: kind of a white collar crime, you name it. And

1502
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 1: I do think that we need to separate in our

1503
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:51,200
Speaker 1: minds those who have truly victimized individuals, people who are

1504
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,840
Speaker 1: violent criminals, people who have stolen from individuals, and those

1505
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:58,280
Speaker 1: who have scammed the system. It's not to say that

1506
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:01,680
Speaker 1: scamming the system is okay, but it's different. And we

1507
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:05,799
Speaker 1: know this, We intuitively know this, that a mass murderer

1508
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:10,080
Speaker 1: is very different from an insurance fraud scamster. Right, these

1509
01:30:10,120 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 1: are very different. You could sit down and I'm reminded

1510
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 1: of a Christopher Hitchins once said that he had a

1511
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:19,560
Speaker 1: test for people who had a prior record. You know

1512
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 1: that you could sit down with somebody and if they said, yeah,

1513
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, I spent some time and to spend some

1514
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:29,639
Speaker 1: time in the slammer because embezzled some money from my company,

1515
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 1: he says, all right, well you paid your dues and

1516
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 1: sure enough you've come out and I hope you've reformed

1517
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:38,639
Speaker 1: your ways. But you'd continue having lunch if you sat

1518
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:40,760
Speaker 1: down with somebody like that. If you sat down you

1519
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:44,320
Speaker 1: found out that somebody was engaged in, you know, child

1520
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:48,240
Speaker 1: sex trafficking, or was a rapist or a murderer, you

1521
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:51,160
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't continue the lunch and would want to get

1522
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 1: the heck out of there. That's the obvious way of

1523
01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 1: separating out the degree and severity of crimes. We all

1524
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:02,600
Speaker 1: know there's a degree in severity. And I think that

1525
01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:07,840
Speaker 1: there's way too much celebration in our current moment from

1526
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 1: the Democrats and a lot of anti Trump Republicans of

1527
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:14,960
Speaker 1: people who are having their lives ruined, I mean, their

1528
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:20,800
Speaker 1: life savings wiped out for process crimes, for crimes that

1529
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:23,880
Speaker 1: are not the kind of thing that make anyone a

1530
01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 1: bad person. They just make a mistake. You know, no

1531
01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:30,559
Speaker 1: one's dying of a drug overdose. No one's losing their

1532
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 1: life or their future because you know, Michael Cohen didn't

1533
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 1: didn't pay all of his taxes to the State of

1534
01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:39,840
Speaker 1: New York or something. That's just not happening. And that's

1535
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 1: not to say that he's a good guy and he

1536
01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:44,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't pay a price. But I do think that those

1537
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:48,559
Speaker 1: who celebrate this, who take a position of glee at

1538
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:53,080
Speaker 1: the suffering of others, should be very troubled by their conduct.

1539
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 1: And there's way too much of that right now with

1540
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:59,080
Speaker 1: anyone associated with Trump. I mean, people are celebrating what

1541
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:01,519
Speaker 1: happened to Michael, and that happened in front of his

1542
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 1: wife and in front of his kids, that happened in

1543
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:07,640
Speaker 1: front of people who have known him. And yeah, I

1544
01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 1: even love the guy. I mean I don't know him,

1545
01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:11,120
Speaker 1: but you know he has people who count on him

1546
01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:12,880
Speaker 1: and love him. And he's not going to prison for

1547
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 1: three years, which is not an insignificant amount of time.

1548
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: General Flynn, do you ever think that after thirty years

1549
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:22,920
Speaker 1: of serving his country, being part of special operations in

1550
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 1: Iraq Afghanistan at the top of the Defense Intelligence Agency,

1551
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:28,559
Speaker 1: do you think that he would be begging a court

1552
01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 1: not to send him to prison, and for what exactly,

1553
01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 1: what's the crime that Flynn supposedly committed, misfremembering a phone

1554
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:40,960
Speaker 1: call that wasn't criminal in the first place, and for

1555
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 1: that you can have your reputation on your life ruined.

1556
01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:47,040
Speaker 1: I just ask that we all be a little contemplative

1557
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 1: about this, and that we remember that those who run

1558
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:55,639
Speaker 1: around celebrating at the misfortune of Trump associates are, if

1559
01:32:55,760 --> 01:33:02,040
Speaker 1: nothing else, completely abandoning any thing resembling a holiday spirit.

1560
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 1: You know, this is a time of the year, as

1561
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 1: we get into Christmas and we get into the New year,

1562
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:09,680
Speaker 1: where you think about mercy and forgiveness, and this is

1563
01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:13,040
Speaker 1: a country that is in need of a restoration of

1564
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:16,879
Speaker 1: those ideas. Right now. There is far too much desire

1565
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 1: to see the other, to see your opponents destroyed, when

1566
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:24,680
Speaker 1: really we should be thinking about how we can all

1567
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:28,559
Speaker 1: be better and do better for each other. So Merry

1568
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 1: Christmas and goodwill to all, But not from the view.

1569
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: Apparently she's back with her first public statement since the

1570
01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:43,000
Speaker 1: effort to destroy Brett Cavanaugh with an avalanche of lies.

1571
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:52,880
Speaker 1: Doctor or Professor of Psychology PhD. Christine Blasi Ford is

1572
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:58,920
Speaker 1: now presenting Awards for Sports Illustrated. Listen, I am honored

1573
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,519
Speaker 1: to speak with you from far about a woman I

1574
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: admire so much, A woman who suffered abuse as a

1575
01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:10,680
Speaker 1: vulnerable teenaged athlete, who found the courage to talk publicly

1576
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:15,760
Speaker 1: to stop the abuse of others. Her courage inspired other

1577
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:19,880
Speaker 1: survivors to end their silence, and we all know the result.

1578
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:24,200
Speaker 1: Rachel Den Hollander. I am in awe of you, and

1579
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 1: I will always be inspired by you and stepping forward.

1580
01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:32,800
Speaker 1: You took a huge risk, and you galvanized future generations

1581
01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:36,879
Speaker 1: to come forward even when the odds are seemingly stacked

1582
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:42,559
Speaker 1: against them. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome this year's Sports

1583
01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:48,120
Speaker 1: Illustrated Inspiration of the Year, Rachel Den Hollander. Now this

1584
01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:52,360
Speaker 1: situation does not surprise me at all. In fact, I

1585
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:55,800
Speaker 1: was arguing with people last summer that this is exactly

1586
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:59,320
Speaker 1: where we would be. There are a number of important

1587
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 1: takeaways here. First of all, you will recall that it

1588
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:08,680
Speaker 1: was a widely used talking point during the effort to

1589
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:12,360
Speaker 1: destroy Brett Kavanaugh that this woman has nothing to gain.

1590
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:16,799
Speaker 1: That's what they kept saying, nothing to gain from coming forward,

1591
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 1: and people like me on this show and elsewhere we're saying, really,

1592
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:25,840
Speaker 1: because Anita Hill had nothing to gain other than being

1593
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:31,240
Speaker 1: considered a hero for women's rights and womanhood for all eternity,

1594
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:36,400
Speaker 1: for getting speaking gigs and book deals and having movies

1595
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 1: made about what a hero she is, I'd say that's

1596
01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:44,639
Speaker 1: a lot to gain. And it was just obvious as

1597
01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 1: soon as Christina Blasi Ford came forward with this that

1598
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 1: she was also going to benefit from the massive system

1599
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:58,439
Speaker 1: in place that's there specifically to prop up and reward

1600
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:02,120
Speaker 1: those who do the bid of the left. And now

1601
01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 1: that she's presenting awards for Sports Illustrated as well as

1602
01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:08,519
Speaker 1: being considered for she was considered, I believe for Time

1603
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:11,439
Speaker 1: Magazine Person of the Year. She definitely is on Time

1604
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:14,120
Speaker 1: magazines cover for the month of December, so she's on

1605
01:36:14,160 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 1: the cover of magazines. She is lionized. She has treated

1606
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:23,000
Speaker 1: like a hero, a truth teller when there is still

1607
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:25,919
Speaker 1: and this is where I get to the other component

1608
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:29,000
Speaker 1: of this no evidence to back up anything that she said.

1609
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:33,280
Speaker 1: In fact, what we know from the career sex crimes

1610
01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:38,000
Speaker 1: prosecutor who interviewed her in Congress, there would not have

1611
01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:41,040
Speaker 1: even been enough based on what she had to share,

1612
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 1: Based on the information that Christine Blasi Ford gave to

1613
01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:51,519
Speaker 1: affect and arrest of Brett Kavanaugh today, never mind taking

1614
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 1: it to this level of well, we have to believe her.

1615
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:55,679
Speaker 1: This woman has a right to be believed. I would

1616
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 1: also note, does the woman who's accusing Keith Ellison have

1617
01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 1: a right to be believed? No, of course not. Keith

1618
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:03,320
Speaker 1: Ellison as a Democrat, and he's an African American and

1619
01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:07,400
Speaker 1: he's in a different category for the left than other

1620
01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:12,679
Speaker 1: guys who get accused. What about Michael Lavanatti himself? Does

1621
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 1: his accuser of felony domestic abuse have a right to

1622
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:18,160
Speaker 1: be believed? Now? The right to be believed line only

1623
01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:22,040
Speaker 1: gets trotted out when it benefits Democrats. And I would

1624
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:24,720
Speaker 1: note that none of this with Christine Lazzie Ford now

1625
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:27,960
Speaker 1: is surprising. You see what they've done is they've created

1626
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:32,480
Speaker 1: They're creating this image, this brand around her as a survivor,

1627
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:35,320
Speaker 1: and we're supposed to treat her as a survivor. When

1628
01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 1: I think that she was highly politically motivated to make

1629
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:40,920
Speaker 1: the allegations that she did. There's no evidence of support

1630
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:44,160
Speaker 1: the allegation that she brought forward. There are a lot

1631
01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 1: of inconsistencies and massive holes in her story. But she's

1632
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:52,639
Speaker 1: going to attach herself now to real survivors like Den Hollander,

1633
01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:55,920
Speaker 1: people who were sexually abused, to a rape who are assaulted,

1634
01:37:56,600 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 1: because in doing so, she is the spokes person for

1635
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 1: those who are survivors. And if you call into question

1636
01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:08,000
Speaker 1: her authenticity in that role, the left will of course say,

1637
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:12,040
Speaker 1: are you downplaying the people that she's speaking for. You know,

1638
01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:16,160
Speaker 1: she is attaching herself to this movement and putting herself

1639
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 1: at the forefront of this movement, and what you are

1640
01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 1: seeing now is just the beginning of that effort. There's

1641
01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 1: going to be a lot more. Christine Blassie Ford is

1642
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 1: now a left wing celebrity, and this was entirely predictable.

1643
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:34,040
Speaker 1: In fact, I predicted it. I know many of you

1644
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:37,759
Speaker 1: knew the same thing that she would be for decades

1645
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 1: to come. Your kids will be watching movies, however, whatever

1646
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 1: channel they watched them on. Your kids in ten or

1647
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:48,320
Speaker 1: fifteen years will be watching a movie where Christine Blassie

1648
01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:52,439
Speaker 1: Ford is played by the most beautiful actress of our era,

1649
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:56,879
Speaker 1: and she's a heroine for all time, standing up against

1650
01:38:57,280 --> 01:39:01,200
Speaker 1: the evil you know, rapist frat boy Brett Kavanaugh and

1651
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: all the white male privilege. He said, that's what's going

1652
01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 1: to happen, and it was obvious, and we called it.

1653
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:09,760
Speaker 1: And I would just note that the people who were

1654
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:12,200
Speaker 1: saying that wasn't going to happen. I think we should

1655
01:39:12,200 --> 01:39:14,479
Speaker 1: be at a point now where you can say, we

1656
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 1: don't have to listen to their opinions on these matters.

1657
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:21,040
Speaker 1: They're obviously not very good analysts. Nothing to gain. They

1658
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 1: said of Blasi Ford, that was a lie, and it

1659
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:26,600
Speaker 1: was an obvious lie. But at the time it was

1660
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:30,560
Speaker 1: useful because it managed to take some of the ferocity

1661
01:39:30,760 --> 01:39:33,400
Speaker 1: out of the argument that this was all a setup,

1662
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:36,559
Speaker 1: that this was all a hit, that Christine Blazzi Ford

1663
01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:43,439
Speaker 1: is either a delusional, damaged person or just a vicious liar.

1664
01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:48,800
Speaker 1: There's only one of two options, and she's one of them.

1665
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:52,759
Speaker 1: But they're treating her like she's a hero. Now, of course,

1666
01:39:54,680 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 1: the show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call.

1667
01:40:04,120 --> 01:40:06,800
Speaker 1: Roll call is the best call, because there ain't no

1668
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 1: call like the roll call. Facebook dot Com slash buck

1669
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:16,759
Speaker 1: Sexton and let's get right to it. Eric says buck

1670
01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:20,320
Speaker 1: I found this very interesting, a body language take on

1671
01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:26,439
Speaker 1: the wall discussion between Trump Pelosi, pants and Schumer. On

1672
01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:29,240
Speaker 1: a side note to chime in on your best voice.

1673
01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:32,840
Speaker 1: Clearly some people don't listen to the Stansbury Investor Hour

1674
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 1: because clearly, Arianna Huffington is your best impression. L Ol.

1675
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:41,360
Speaker 1: Shields High, Darling, thank you so much for the kind wire.

1676
01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:44,479
Speaker 1: It's about Arianna. She wants you to make sure that

1677
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:47,640
Speaker 1: you stretch, that you get all of your macros, and

1678
01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:50,479
Speaker 1: you eat vegan and do yoga because this is all

1679
01:40:50,560 --> 01:40:54,879
Speaker 1: the great CEOs of the twenty first century are very limber.

1680
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 1: It's important to be limber. Arianna has a lot of

1681
01:40:59,479 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 1: good advice for you. Steve right Hey, Buck outstanding show

1682
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:10,200
Speaker 1: as usual, Well, Steve, outstanding message as usual. Just catch

1683
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:12,599
Speaker 1: a gump on Wednesday's podcast. I love the guests today,

1684
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 1: Andy McCarthy, Louie Gomert. A thought just occurred to me.

1685
01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 1: Is it possible for the President to direct the Army

1686
01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 1: Corps of Engineer Engineers to inspect and document the entire

1687
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 1: southern border wall? Just seems like that would be a

1688
01:41:26,240 --> 01:41:29,439
Speaker 1: great start with notations of weak spots along the border.

1689
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:34,240
Speaker 1: As always, love the show, Shields way High, Well, Steve,

1690
01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:36,080
Speaker 1: it would be a good idea. I think that the

1691
01:41:36,200 --> 01:41:38,719
Speaker 1: Army Corps of Engineers check out the border at Also,

1692
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:41,800
Speaker 1: we'd have to keep in mind that much of the

1693
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,200
Speaker 1: border doesn't have any wall or any fencing, So, you know,

1694
01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 1: we got we gotta be clear on that one, right,

1695
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:50,639
Speaker 1: there's most of the border is not in fact covered

1696
01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:54,679
Speaker 1: by a fence or wall of any kind. And as

1697
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:56,479
Speaker 1: to how quickly it could happen, keep in mind that

1698
01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:58,200
Speaker 1: there are some areas of the border where it's very

1699
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:02,120
Speaker 1: hard to cross. Regardless, there's some places where there's already

1700
01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:04,559
Speaker 1: a natural barrier, or you're just going through a lot

1701
01:42:04,600 --> 01:42:07,479
Speaker 1: of desert, and they have in place, you know, sensors

1702
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:09,840
Speaker 1: in border patrol in some ways of trying to catch you.

1703
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:12,920
Speaker 1: But there are other areas that are most highly trafficked.

1704
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:16,799
Speaker 1: So you would start with the most highly trafficked areas

1705
01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:20,320
Speaker 1: of the border, and then you would make your way

1706
01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:24,920
Speaker 1: from that to the lesser trafficked areas of the border.

1707
01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean. Representative Jim Jordan, for example, shared the following

1708
01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 1: facts via Twitter yesterday. Walls work, These facts don't lie.

1709
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:38,200
Speaker 1: Israel illegal immigration down ninety nine percent, San Diego sector

1710
01:42:38,240 --> 01:42:41,679
Speaker 1: of hard order down ninety two percent, El Paso down

1711
01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:47,120
Speaker 1: ninety five, Tucson down ninety percent, Yuma down ninety five percent.

1712
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:50,360
Speaker 1: Let's build the border security wall. I have yet to

1713
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:54,800
Speaker 1: hear a serious counter argument to this. I've yet to

1714
01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:57,960
Speaker 1: hear people say anything in terms of an argument other

1715
01:42:58,040 --> 01:43:01,760
Speaker 1: than just well, don't work while don't work. Well, you

1716
01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:04,360
Speaker 1: can chant it and you can yell at libs, but

1717
01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:09,200
Speaker 1: that does not make it true. So there you have it.

1718
01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:21,240
Speaker 1: Adamola Adaramola, Yeah, Adaramola writes, Hi, how is you well? Adamola?

1719
01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:24,160
Speaker 1: I think you're a bot or a computer program from

1720
01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:26,680
Speaker 1: a foreign country that is trying to engage me in

1721
01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:29,560
Speaker 1: a Facebook discussion. So I will just write back to you,

1722
01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:33,759
Speaker 1: I is fine, and please take me to your leader

1723
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:36,600
Speaker 1: because you're a bot, because you're not actually somebody I

1724
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:39,639
Speaker 1: think who listens to the show. That is my guess.

1725
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 1: I've had plenty, plenty of boats, unfortunately, get into the Facebook.

1726
01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:45,479
Speaker 1: But it's sometimes kind of funny because in real time

1727
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:47,439
Speaker 1: I read them and I go, oh, that's a bot.

1728
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:53,120
Speaker 1: James writes, he sent me a link, so that's not

1729
01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:56,760
Speaker 1: a good one. Andrea writes, for your mom, I show

1730
01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,600
Speaker 1: this to every class I teach. It's Swan Lake but

1731
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:05,599
Speaker 1: with acrobatic twist, and it's Great Chinese State Circus Swan Lake, Andrea,

1732
01:44:05,680 --> 01:44:08,160
Speaker 1: I will send that to my mom. You apparently listen

1733
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:11,639
Speaker 1: to the show very very closely, because yes, my mom

1734
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:15,840
Speaker 1: was a professional ballet not belly some of you heard

1735
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 1: me say belly ballet dancer with American Ballet Theater, one

1736
01:44:21,840 --> 01:44:25,400
Speaker 1: of the premier, if not the premier ballet companies in

1737
01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:28,920
Speaker 1: the country. That was some time ago, and since then

1738
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:31,640
Speaker 1: she's just been the greatest mom in the country. But

1739
01:44:31,720 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 1: I will certainly send this link on over to her.

1740
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:41,720
Speaker 1: Let's see here, Rachel writes, Buck, with everything you talked

1741
01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:45,000
Speaker 1: about with Andy McCarthy tonight pretending to Flynn, it just

1742
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 1: seems like they were trying to entrap him. I'm no

1743
01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:51,680
Speaker 1: lawyer and may not know the parameters of entrapment. Can

1744
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:54,880
Speaker 1: you explain why this is not an issue? No, Rachel,

1745
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:57,880
Speaker 1: I think you're right. In fact, the Wall Street Journal

1746
01:44:58,040 --> 01:45:02,240
Speaker 1: editorial the Flynn in Trap pretty much says it they

1747
01:45:02,840 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 1: they were trying to get this guy. They were not

1748
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 1: doing this in good faith to have a discussion. Look

1749
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:13,000
Speaker 1: that there are two pretexts that they used to try

1750
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 1: and get to excuse sending over what was essentially a

1751
01:45:17,400 --> 01:45:20,759
Speaker 1: criminal probe to speak to the incoming national security advisor

1752
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 1: and make sure that it seemed like it was no

1753
01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:26,000
Speaker 1: big deal so he wouldn't have a lawyer. There. One

1754
01:45:26,120 --> 01:45:29,800
Speaker 1: is the Logan Act, which is preposterous. You're going to

1755
01:45:29,960 --> 01:45:35,640
Speaker 1: charge an incoming national security advisor with a law that

1756
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:38,080
Speaker 1: has never in the history of the United States sent

1757
01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:41,200
Speaker 1: anyone to prison. I think one time a charge is

1758
01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 1: brought under the Logan Act and the person was found

1759
01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:46,400
Speaker 1: not guilty, and it was in the nineteenth century. Okay,

1760
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:50,920
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous, And the fact that people in the

1761
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:52,920
Speaker 1: government would even bring it up just goes to show

1762
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:55,960
Speaker 1: you they're desperate to find some excuse for this. And

1763
01:45:56,040 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 1: the other one is this notion of a counterintelligence threat

1764
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:04,080
Speaker 1: or a blackmail threat to Flynn. Essentially that the Russians

1765
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 1: could have said, will you must tell us everything you'll

1766
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 1: know about all the secrets, because otherwise we will tell

1767
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:15,800
Speaker 1: the American people that you told them something not true

1768
01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 1: about an unimportant conversation with Giseliek. Guess what nobody would

1769
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:25,040
Speaker 1: care if Flynn could just say, whatever I tell people,

1770
01:46:25,040 --> 01:46:28,439
Speaker 1: I misremembered it wasn't an important conversation. You know. If

1771
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:30,640
Speaker 1: if let me put it, you this way, if the

1772
01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:34,120
Speaker 1: incoming National Security advisor, if General Flynn had a conversation

1773
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:38,720
Speaker 1: with the Russians in which he said I had I

1774
01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:41,439
Speaker 1: had corn flakes for breakfast yesterday, and in fact he

1775
01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 1: had Coco puffs. You know, technically that's not true. Nobody

1776
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:50,559
Speaker 1: would care, though, So the Russians don't have something on him.

1777
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,759
Speaker 1: There's no criminal act him speaking to them about foreign

1778
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:56,960
Speaker 1: policy at policy was not criminal, Okay, the whole idea.

1779
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:00,599
Speaker 1: And Sally Yates, who I think escapes way way more

1780
01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:03,120
Speaker 1: easily from the blame here than she should in terms

1781
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:05,200
Speaker 1: of the public recognition of her role in this. She

1782
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:06,800
Speaker 1: was one of these people is pushing this. Look she's

1783
01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:11,439
Speaker 1: a little Democrat, a little hall monitor democrat statist who

1784
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:14,639
Speaker 1: didn't like Trump, didn't like his people, and had devoted

1785
01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:17,720
Speaker 1: her whole life to being a little DOJ bureaucrat, and

1786
01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:20,479
Speaker 1: you wanted to find a way to get these guys,

1787
01:47:20,560 --> 01:47:22,840
Speaker 1: and she did. And she remember she's the one who

1788
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:27,519
Speaker 1: also wouldn't wouldn't execute the order that Trump gave when

1789
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:29,720
Speaker 1: she was acting attorney general. I mean, the fact that

1790
01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:32,839
Speaker 1: that woman was acting attorney general should be jaw dropping

1791
01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:36,040
Speaker 1: to people. Look at these individuals at the top of

1792
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:42,080
Speaker 1: the DOJ, top of FBI. Look at this, Komi, McCabe, Yates, Struck.

1793
01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:48,320
Speaker 1: These people are acting terribly, terribly when it comes to

1794
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:51,800
Speaker 1: their abuse of power and the use of their discretion.

1795
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:54,799
Speaker 1: And these are the most important people to Dogen the FBI.

1796
01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: These aren't just random people that we tried it out

1797
01:47:57,400 --> 01:48:00,720
Speaker 1: from nowhere. They were the ones running these investigations. They

1798
01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:05,439
Speaker 1: were the ones making these decisions. They're terrible. I really

1799
01:48:05,520 --> 01:48:09,760
Speaker 1: betrayed the public trust and they're partisans and because they're

1800
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:12,880
Speaker 1: not honest about that fact, they're also liars and what

1801
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:15,640
Speaker 1: they're doing is dishonest and they're destroying people. I have

1802
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:19,800
Speaker 1: no respect none for Yates, for Komy, for Struck from

1803
01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:25,720
Speaker 1: a cabe. These people have profaned the institutions that they

1804
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:30,680
Speaker 1: supposedly represented and worked for. Diane writes, Buck, thanks for

1805
01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:32,760
Speaker 1: enlightening all of us in the hut. Are the Pelosian

1806
01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:37,519
Speaker 1: Schumer homes surrounded by fences or more importantly walls. If so,

1807
01:48:37,960 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 1: why I literally don't see either of them capable of

1808
01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 1: delivering policy beyond do as I say and not as

1809
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:48,760
Speaker 1: I do shield Hie Diane, Yeah, walls obviously work, and

1810
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:52,880
Speaker 1: this idea that walls don't work is just preposterous, and

1811
01:48:53,120 --> 01:48:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's really it's embarrassing that people even say this.

1812
01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:59,120
Speaker 1: It's so stupid. But it's just one of these It's

1813
01:48:59,120 --> 01:49:01,680
Speaker 1: like saying we're a nation of immigrants. No, we're not.

1814
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:04,360
Speaker 1: Most of us were born here. We're not a nation

1815
01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:07,880
Speaker 1: of immigrants. This is just not true. I mean, and

1816
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:09,800
Speaker 1: if you're gonna say, well, over the course of our history,

1817
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 1: well then all nations are nations of immigrants. People come

1818
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:14,200
Speaker 1: and go, there are migrations. I mean, it's just a

1819
01:49:14,360 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 1: stupid thing that people say, or that immigrants do the

1820
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:22,160
Speaker 1: jobs Americans won't do well. Americans would do any job

1821
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:24,800
Speaker 1: if the pay was right, pretty much any legal, you know,

1822
01:49:24,960 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 1: decent job that where the pay was right. But if

1823
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:31,400
Speaker 1: you bring in low wage, low skilled workers to undercut

1824
01:49:31,479 --> 01:49:33,599
Speaker 1: which you're gonna pay Americans and by the way, pay

1825
01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:35,840
Speaker 1: them off the books, then yeah, they won't do those jobs.

1826
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 1: As to the walls, I mean, this is it's just stupid.

1827
01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 1: It's just not a smart, it's not an intelligent position

1828
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 1: that the Left holds on this. But you know, they

1829
01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:48,080
Speaker 1: managed to get away with it, and you know they're

1830
01:49:48,160 --> 01:49:50,200
Speaker 1: they're a slippery bunch on the left, so we got

1831
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:53,840
Speaker 1: to hold them to account. Eric I am not Oss,

1832
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:56,800
Speaker 1: but became impressed with you on Real News on the

1833
01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:59,960
Speaker 1: Blaze TV and have been following you since those days. WHOA, thanks, Eric,

1834
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:03,040
Speaker 1: I think I figured out some aspects of the Facebook algorithm.

1835
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:05,599
Speaker 1: The more people interact with posts on a Facebook page,

1836
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:07,920
Speaker 1: the more people will see it. So if people see

1837
01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:10,000
Speaker 1: a post and feel the message is important, they need

1838
01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:12,800
Speaker 1: to like and post and add comments this more people.

1839
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:15,000
Speaker 1: The more people do this, the more eyeballs will see it.

1840
01:50:15,120 --> 01:50:17,800
Speaker 1: Shields high well. Eric, I can tell you that you

1841
01:50:17,880 --> 01:50:21,599
Speaker 1: are correct and that interactions with a Facebook post are

1842
01:50:21,640 --> 01:50:25,240
Speaker 1: a very important component of that Facebook post having reach

1843
01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:29,120
Speaker 1: and you know, shares comments like so for those of

1844
