1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hunt. We've got a Thanksgiving

2
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: Eve extravaganza plan for you, my friends in the Freedom

3
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: Hut today, including Trump's latest feud with the Ninth Circuit,

4
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: the allegation that he actually wanted to have Hillary prosecuted

5
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: for breaking the law when it comes to her emails.

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: We've got updates on the caravan crisis, and some pre

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving thoughts coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. This

8
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission

9
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make

10
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: no mistake American, You're a great American Again, The Buck

11
00:00:50,479 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Sexton Show begins hut on, Well, you go to the

12
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Ninth Circuit and it's a disgrace. And I'm going to

13
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: put in a major complaint because you cannot win if

14
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: you're us a case in the Ninth Circuit. And I

15
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: think it's a disgrace when people file every case gets

16
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: filed in the Ninth Circuit because they know that's not law,

17
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: that's not what this country stands for. Every case that

18
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: gets filed in the Ninth Circuit, we get beaten and

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: then we end up having to go to the Supreme Court.

20
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: Like the travel ban, and we won. This was an

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: Obama judge. And I'll tell you what, It's not gonna

22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: happen like this anymore. Everybody that wants to sue the

23
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: United States, they file their case in almost they file

24
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: their case in the Ninth Circuit. And it means in

25
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: automatic laws, no matter what you do, no matter how

26
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: good your case is. And the Ninth Circuit is really

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: something we have to take a look at. Welcome the

28
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton show. Trump criticizing the Judiciary Public League. Oh my,

29
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: all the all clutching now from across the media spectrum,

30
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: how could he? Oh no, nothing, judges too. You're going

31
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: to hear a lot of how he's undermining our institutions.

32
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: This from people who, as we'll talk about later in

33
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: the program, are still acting like there were stolen elections

34
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: where Republicans won, and they have no evidence they were stolen,

35
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: but they're still gonna say they're stolen because that doesn't

36
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: undermine our elections. Someone needs to explain that one to me.

37
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: This from people who claim that Marco Rubio and others

38
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: who were merely pointing out that in Florida there were

39
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: election irregularities, there were failures of the people in charge

40
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: of the elections in Broward County, in Palm Beach County.

41
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: That just doesn't that doesn't count. In fact, to bring

42
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: it up was to be doing Putin's work, according to media,

43
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: because they didn't. They didn't want too much light to

44
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: be shown on the situation. There. Maybe find some Democrats

45
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: doing some shady stuff. Wouldn't be the first time, certainly

46
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: not give the last either. But this is a very

47
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: important debate. Actually at the national level. There's a lot

48
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: that we need to look at here, a lot to unpack,

49
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: and it's been elevated a little bit because Chief Justice

50
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court, John Roberts has gone after the

51
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: president a little bit. As a result of this. He

52
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: released a state Marie. He said, quote, we do not

53
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges, or Clinton judges.

54
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges

55
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: doing their level best to do equal right to those

56
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should

57
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: all be thankful for. I think Justice Roberts is wrong.

58
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: I think it's obvious that he's wrong. I think that

59
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: he probably knows that he's wrong, but he believes that

60
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: this is one of those lies that for the for

61
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 1: the good of society, we all have to tell each other.

62
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: Are there left wing judges? This is a very straightforward question.

63
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: Are there left wing judges that have an entirely different

64
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: interpretation of what the Constitution says and also just an

65
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: entire different approach to how one interprets the Constitution? The

66
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: answers yes, and anyone who says otherwise would have to explain.

67
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: How is it that I always know how Ruth Bader

68
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: Ginsburg is going to rule on a major issue. I

69
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: always know. I always know how Sonya Soda my oer

70
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: is going to rule on a major Keep in mind,

71
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: by the time it's gotten up to the Supreme Court,

72
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: there's been back and forth in courts, often different judges,

73
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: different opinions. But I always know how the Libs on

74
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: the Court are going to vote. I always know how

75
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: they're going to come down with. You know, exceptions on

76
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: certain issues that are not as hot button for Libs.

77
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: But you know, if it's affirmative action, I know, Sodomer

78
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: is going to go to the mat for that. You know,

79
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: if it's abortion, I know, and Ginsburg is going to

80
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: do everything she can to continue to prop up that

81
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: fake constitutional right. So this is just I wish we

82
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: could speak to each other like adults. Why did we

83
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: the left wing completely lose their mind over Kavanaugh over

84
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: the summer engage in the worst, most disgraceful character assassination

85
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: on national TV I have ever seen in my life.

86
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: Because there's no such things as Obama judges or Trump judges.

87
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: There's just judges. Please don't speak to us like we're idiots, Roberts.

88
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: This is also why I've been saying all along, the

89
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,119
Speaker 1: court is not nearly as conservative as many people pretend

90
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: that it is. Roberts isn't isn't really a conservative. He's

91
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: an institutionalist, So that means that some of his some

92
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: of his inclinations will line up with conservatism. I think personally,

93
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: ideologically he may be somewhat conservative. He does seem conservative,

94
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: but in terms of his view of the judiciary, he

95
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: is very much He's kind of like a journalist at

96
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: this point who believes that journalists don't have a bias.

97
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: That's a nice ideal, that's a nice position to espouse

98
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: and to It's a nice hope. It's not rooted in reality, though.

99
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: What Trump is saying is rooted in the reality, and

100
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: we the American people, we need to understand this that

101
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: judges are now in politicized roles. I wish it weren't

102
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: the case. The Left has done this. They're the ones

103
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: that have the living Constitution, and they're the ones that

104
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: have this open ended view of jurisprudence that means that

105
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: social justice overrides the will of the founders, judicial precedent,

106
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: and the plain language meaning of written law. Words aren't words,

107
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: words are whatever the Left says they are. They've been

108
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: doing this for decades. It's how they've gotten some of

109
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: the biggest victories handed to them by the Supreme Court.

110
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: And that's why when Trump responded to Chief Justice Roberts,

111
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: I entirely agree with Trump's sentiment. Here he says, sorry,

112
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: Chief Justice Roberts, but you do indeed have Obama judges,

113
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: and they have a much different point of view than

114
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: the people who are charged with the safety of our country.

115
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: It would be great if the Ninth Circuit. This was

116
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: all on Twitter from our president. It would be great

117
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: if the Ninth Circuit was indeed an independent judiciary. But

118
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: if it is, why are there's so many opposing views

119
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: on border and safety cases filed there, and why are

120
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers.

121
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: They are shocking. We need protection and security. These rulings

122
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: make our country unsafe, very dangerous, and unwise. Exclamation point.

123
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Trump is right, Trump is right here. John Roberts is wrong.

124
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: I don't think we need to beat around the bush.

125
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: I think we can just say it. Trump has apparently

126
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: a more if not sophisticated, more realistic understanding of what

127
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: the judiciary and the judic branch overall has become. It's

128
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: now a political battleground on political issues. I mean on

129
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: issues of interpretation, things about you know, you know processes,

130
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, criminal procedure and things. Yeah, I mean you

131
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: can get into some more specific stuff where there's not

132
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: really an ideological inflection point. It's not dictated by people's

133
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: overall political ideological framework. And you know, the points of

134
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: law that are arcade and you know, we need a

135
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: bunch of legal scholars to figure out, well, what's fine

136
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: on the big issues. On the important issues, the court

137
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: is politicized. And one of the problems we run up

138
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: against is that a conservative jurisprudence does mean that people

139
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: get a fair hearing before the judge. A conservative jurisprudence

140
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: in the contemporary context is the law is the law,

141
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: and I'm going to try to apply the law without favoritism,

142
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: without idea logical proclivity entering into this. And you know,

143
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: essentially conservative judges do what Robert says all judges do.

144
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: Liberal judges look at the law and they go, Okay, well,

145
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: what do I think the what do I think the

146
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: outcome here needs to be? And then they reverse engineer

147
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: from that the decision they come up with. That's that

148
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: tells you really what the difference is. And that's why

149
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: there's this frustration on the right with well, our you know,

150
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: our side, our judges, so to speak. You know. And

151
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: by the way, just because you're appointed by it, let

152
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: me Bush appointed, uh what was it? I think suitor

153
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: was a Bush appointed? I mean, George H. W. Bush

154
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: had some terrible judges that he appointed. Reagan might have

155
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: even I mean, I mean it was either George H. W.

156
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: Reagan Reagan appointed a you know some I got to

157
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: look back at the list of Supreme Court appointees. Make

158
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: sure I'm not community any I mean, I'm right, I'm

159
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: just I might be on this specific picks off the

160
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: top of my head. Republican here, here's what I can

161
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: tell you for sure, there have been Republican presidents who

162
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: have appointed very bad, very left wing judges to the

163
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. That has happened, and it never happens. On

164
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: the other side. You find me a Scalia or a

165
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: Thomas that was appointed by Barack Obama, by Jimmy Carter,

166
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: by Bill Clinton, and doesn't happen. They always get They

167
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: always get what they're going for, which is somebody who's

168
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: going to pursue liberal policies for them. And this is

169
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: going to be a big issue going forward because the Democrats,

170
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: there's no legislation that's going to happen for the next

171
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: two years. Really, you're just going to have political fights

172
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: in Congress and the executive branch battling with the courts,

173
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: and courts may have to weigh in here pretty soon

174
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: on some aspects of the Muller probe. They may have

175
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: to weigh in on some of these congressional hearings. And

176
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: you know what if the Democrats force a constant they

177
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: keep talking about a constitutional crisis, well, a real constitutional

178
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: crisis is going to be what if Democrats just think

179
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: that they're gonna subpoena the Trump administration into submission. You

180
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: know what if Democrats in the House decide that they're

181
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: just going to start calling senior members of the Trump

182
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: administration before them for all their crazy fever swamp inspired

183
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories, do they get to just weaponize that process

184
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: without any with without any pushback from the executive branch.

185
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where we're heading. That's what I think

186
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: you're you're going to see. So, I mean, I agree

187
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: with Trump, and I think that Roberts, you know, is

188
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: fighting a losing battle here to try to make us

189
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: all believe that the judiciary is still this you know

190
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: organization that or you know this really this brotherhood and

191
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: sisterhood that has that acts apart from political considerations. It's

192
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: just false. It's not the case. And I and I

193
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: know that. People say, oh my gosh, Trump, you know,

194
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: he's undermining the judiciary by doing this, and he's undermining

195
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: our democratic norms. And they say all this it's the

196
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: same talking points all the time. It's all boring. It's

197
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: annoyance what they do when I come at this and

198
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: I say, can't we can't we start from position of

199
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: honesty about the judicial system that we have and the

200
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: way that it is trending and how judges are often acting.

201
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: Can't we do that? Do we have to speak to

202
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: each other like we're like we're frightened children and can't

203
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: handle the truth. I know I had to go there.

204
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: But that's what we're doing right now. That's what's happening here.

205
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Trump is doing us all a

206
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: service by at least forcing this conversation out into the

207
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: light of day and get a better discussion going over this.

208
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: But there's also the issue that came out of the

209
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: New York Times at a piece some others about what

210
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: what Trump may or may not have said with regard

211
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: to Hillary and the emails and all that. So, oh,

212
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: we've got some of that coming your way. Mueller Probe

213
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: updates the caravan crisis at our border, the crisis they

214
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: said wasn't going to happen. Oh, it looks like it's happening.

215
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: We also got Sean Parnell joining to talk about how

216
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: does Howard's Trump dohm with the military, at least on

217
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: in terms of perception and optics and some of the

218
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: stuff recently, you know, he hasn't visited the military in

219
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,359
Speaker 1: the war zone. You're here in this this constant criticism

220
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: of the president on that issue. You know, to folks,

221
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: the military care as sean about that and some other stuff.

222
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: So we've got a fantastic text Thanksgiving Eve show planned

223
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: for your enjoyment and entertainment, So stay with us. This

224
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: is what happens in authoritarian countries. The president orders the president,

225
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: the leader orders the investigation and prosecution of his political enemies.

226
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: I think it's prima facia evidence of abusive power. This

227
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: is absolutely Donald Trump is basically running his office like

228
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: he's ahead of a banana republic. I think this is

229
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: a scandal at a fifteen on a one to ten level.

230
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: He was essentially trying to use the apparatus of the

231
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: state to punish his political enemies. So this is another

232
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: another story out of the he did even true files.

233
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: But they're saying the big, big New York Times, A

234
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: big New York Times piece yesterday from Maggie Habermann and

235
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: Schmidt over the New York Times is that President Trump

236
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: told the White House Council last spring that he wanted

237
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: the Justice Department to prosecute Hillary Clinton and former FBI

238
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: Director James Comey, according to two people who are familiar

239
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: with the conversation. Now this then starts all the usual stuff.

240
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: Oh he's authoritarian, Oh he's he's a despot, he's a dictator.

241
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: Notice how this stuff never happens. We always we always

242
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: get the Trump wanted to do this authoritarian thing, where

243
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: Trump wanted to do this monarchical thing, but he never

244
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: does it. When I ask what is the what is

245
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: the dictatorial thing that Trump has done? They go, he

246
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: pulled the cost Us press pass. That's not that doesn't count.

247
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: That's not enough. Sorry. Instead they say, oh, well Trump

248
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: said this thing one time to someone that won't be named.

249
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: That sounded like he wanted to be a dictator, but

250
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: he's really not going to do it. A lot of

251
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: those stories, well, I would note that to be a

252
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: dictator you have to actually do stuff that's bad. You don't.

253
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: You can't just be saying things behind closed doors that

254
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: make some people uncomfortable and take no actions based on them.

255
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean to actually be in the dictator club. Right,

256
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: it's a little more involved than just you know, hears

257
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: say about conversations happened a long time ago. But let's

258
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: take a look for a second at the Hillary Clinton

259
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: side of this for a moment. And this this also

260
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: is an important time to have this discussion, because we're

261
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: being told, oh, the judiciary is not political, and James Comey,

262
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: who we were being told until very recently not political.

263
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: We were lied to about that Comy is an anti

264
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: Trump hack. He has been all along. He's also a comyus.

265
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: So he was willing to suck up to the President

266
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: when he thought he could keep his FBI job. But

267
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: he's an anti Trump hack and he bailed Hillary Clinton out.

268
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: He bailed the Democrats out and engaged in improper behavior

269
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: to do it. So you know, I'm not somebody who

270
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: thinks that the truth should be hidden from the public

271
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: about judges or about the senior reaches, the senior most

272
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: echelon of the FBI. And they essentially saved Hillary Clinton's

273
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: chances for the presidency at least. And now we're being

274
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: told that the real problem is that Trump has a

275
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: problem with that, that Trump thinks it's unacceptable that they,

276
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: for obviously political purposes, bailed Hillary out for obviously political reasons,

277
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: they decided that the law didn't really apply when it

278
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: comes to Hillary Clinton. You know the journalists just that

279
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: they have curiosity about things that support their narrative, they

280
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: have no interest in things that don't. And then they

281
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: turn around and look at you and me and say,

282
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, why don't you trust us more? Maybe because

283
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: they're not trustworthy? Has that ever occurred to them? Has

284
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: that thought ever been there? Perhaps that we are just

285
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: paying attention. And that's why we like when Trump refers

286
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: them as fake news. And that's why I say that

287
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: they are the enemy of truth, which they most certainly are.

288
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: Did Trump want to prosecute Hillary? I don't know. Should

289
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: Hillary have been prosecuted? Abs so frigging lutely, How about

290
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: the media focus on that for about five seconds. That

291
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: would be a bit of balance, don't you think the arrogance,

292
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: the incredible arrogance, as with a little measuristidity. It's possible

293
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: that Jesus considered a princess and totally separate from the

294
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: rest of the rules that the American government and the

295
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: president's cabinet and advisers would go by. When the new

296
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: Congress get sworn in the House Oversight Committee, they need

297
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: to seek nothing less of Ivanka Trump and her lawyers

298
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: and the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

299
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 1: She really are in my family. They basically took what

300
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: they were doing in the business, the Trump Organization, and

301
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: brought it to the White House and didn't care at

302
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: all with what the rules were and what they can

303
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: and cannot do. This is the Ivanka email scandal that

304
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: wasn't my friends, you've you've been hearing it from me.

305
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to be very consistent on this issue. Trust me.

306
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: This is a giant nothingburger a vec fromage. This is

307
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: just a total waste of everyone's time. But they they

308
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: are giving the left wing base what they want, uh

309
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: and and it also gives them an opportunity to really

310
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: go after Ivanka, which which they want to do, which

311
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: they really that's the plan. I mean, I see piece here,

312
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: a piece here, Ivanka. Um. You know, Ivanka Trump ignores

313
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: rules because she doesn't treat the White House as a

314
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: real job. You know that's They're gonna just pile on

315
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: now and go after Ivanka. And I think so funny

316
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: is Ivanka is from what most people would tell you,

317
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: a liberal folks. Okay, so they have a very senior

318
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: advisor in the White House who is sympathetic to their

319
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: aims and sympathetic to their ideology. But they're just gonna

320
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: trash her anyway because she's Trump's daughter and because she's

321
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: tied to Trump. Now I cannot defend and I will

322
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: not defend the nepotism that has involved here. And for

323
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: those of you who are gonna say to me, oh

324
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: but buck, you know whatever you'd say, let me just

325
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: tell you this. Just wait until there's a Democrat who

326
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: makes his or her son or daughter like the you know,

327
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: chief of staff of the White House, and conservatives and

328
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: the right we're gonna sit there and say nothing. We're

329
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna say nothing. Well, let's let's understand we have principles

330
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: the other side doesn't. And it's now been established. You

331
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: can take your kids and make them senior advisors in

332
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: the White House, give them big government jobs with a

333
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: lot of power and a lot of authority. We're gonna

334
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: have to live with the consequences of that. There's there's

335
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: just no way around it. I let's just be honest

336
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: about that. So that all said, I think it's interesting

337
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: that Ivanka is a target for so much hatred and

338
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: the left, considering that she's really just working on issues

339
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: that are generally in the bipartisan realm of jobs and

340
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: women and women in employment, women CEOs, entreprene nerves, trying

341
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: to push trying to push for criminal justice reform along

342
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: with Jared. I mean, Jared's also not particularly conservative, right,

343
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: So you've got two liberals that are very senior advisor

344
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: not maybe not liberals, but at least center left that

345
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: are senior advisors in this White House, and the left

346
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: and the left still hates them, just hates them, cannot

347
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: stand them. And it's because they're tied to Trump. But

348
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: they on the email, I mean, this is just there's

349
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: nothing here, folks. The emails all exist, they've all been

350
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: recorded or lawyers already talked about this. This has been

351
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: out there for a little while. They known about this.

352
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: You know, this was a it's a rookie mistake. It's

353
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: a rookie mistake, but it wasn't. The difference between you know,

354
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: classified email and just using email that is personal is

355
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: night and day, call me use some personal email for

356
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: his professional business of the FBI. I mean, lots of

357
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: people did this. Lots of people have done this. It

358
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: just happens. I have a phone right now in my

359
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: hand where I've got multiple email accounts, and you know,

360
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: if I'm responding quickly, I might not pay attention to

361
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: which email account I'm responding from. That's just that's a normal,

362
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: everyday mistake. This is all just about record keeping too.

363
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: There's there's no undue influence, there's no corruption. The records

364
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: were kept. It's not that big a deal. But they're

365
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: trying to make it a huge deal. And and you know,

366
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: I appreciate there was some other conservatives people were a

367
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: little weak on this. Yesterday, I thought I was a

368
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: little surprised. Look around, people say, oh, she made such

369
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: a mistake. Like, no, it's not such a mistake. It's minor.

370
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: It's just that they've blown this completely out of proportion

371
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: because it involves somebody in Trump's family. And the ultimate

372
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: goal here, now I really believe this. The left is

373
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: they realized that going after Trump. Trump's such a fighter.

374
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: They realized that by going after him, you know, he's

375
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: just going to roll up his sleeves, crack his knuckles

376
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: and say bring it. But if they can, if they

377
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: can really damage his kids, that's I think the plan

378
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: they want to. They want to ruin his family, you know,

379
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: they want to put his and especially his kids, because

380
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: they look the First Lady, there's still she has a

381
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: little bit of protection because we at least culturally. I mean,

382
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there's nicetories. They were to Michelle. Obama's

383
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 1: so amazing, right, please don't. I'm gonna throw up. But

384
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: the First Lady is is on a little bit of

385
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: a separate, separate area because that's not as a government

386
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: position of real power. Yes, influence, but you don't have

387
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: power as first Lady that's designated to you, but to

388
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: be senior White House advisors that people either in the

389
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: chain of command have to answer to. You know that

390
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: for me is that's the opening that they need in

391
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: order to really try to take They want their top

392
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: targets going into the twenty twenty election, and I mean

393
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: targets for prosecution if they can, even if they know

394
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: that Trump would eventually part them, doesn't matter. The prosecution

395
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: would be humiliating. Think about that, you're a senior White

396
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: House advita. Their dream scenario is to get Jared on

397
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: money laundering or tax fraud. Their dream scenario is to

398
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: get Donald Trump junior on lying under oath in the

399
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: Russian investigation or you know, or to get Ivanka on

400
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: trademark infringement, you know, whatever it is, and to humiliate

401
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: one of Trump's children or a family member of his,

402
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: because it's deeply personal for the left. And that's why

403
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: when this email thing comes out, they abandon all objectivity

404
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: right away. I mean, no serious person can tell me

405
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: that Ivanka's email situation is even the same stratosphere as

406
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: what He'll Clinton did and just lay out the facts,

407
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: destroying the destroying the different hard drives with hammers, using

408
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: bleach bit erasing thirty thousand emails, only using that email.

409
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: By the way, this wasn't oh sometimes I used the

410
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: wrong email because I was going between different accounts. Only

411
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: Hillary only used that email because she wanted to control

412
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: over her entire record. Why oh, As I've told you along,

413
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation was why which Now, by the way,

414
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: the Congress says they're going to look into this more.

415
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some investigation here at the Clinton Foundation.

416
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: There's got some stuff. But the Clinton Foundation was the

417
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: real vulnerability, because all it took was one shady email

418
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: to come into Hillary Clinton about somebody saying, hey, this

419
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: donor wants a meeting with you and wants this policy.

420
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: When you're president or whatever it may be. And that

421
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: gets foyed because once it's in her inbox as a

422
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: government official, it's in her inbox. So she wanted to

423
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: control that. The Clinton Foundation was always the vulnerability for

424
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: her when she was running, but she set up a

425
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: separate email server and only use that. And she was

426
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: secretary of State. The Secretary of State gets the PDB.

427
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: The Secretary of State has access to the most classified

428
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: stuff in the United States government. If Anka was like

429
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: in the transition, I don't even know. I don't even

430
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: know if she was had an interim clearance at this time.

431
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: The idea that she was, you know, seeing all this

432
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: really sensitive. She's seeing classified information about our employment numbers.

433
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, give me a break. It just doesn't add up.

434
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: But that's where I have to remind myself. It's it's

435
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: not going to add up because it's not about being accurate,

436
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: it's not about being fair. It's just part of the

437
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: destroyed Trump effort. And I've the same way that I'll

438
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you a little bit later on the show.

439
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: We'll have some Thanksgiving cheer. You know, I've got a

440
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: couple of buddies joining later. We got a couple of veterans.

441
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to us about well the news,

442
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: but also about some Thanksgiving thoughts, So that'll be fun.

443
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: Sean Parnell my buddy Shampar, I was gonna do with

444
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: us later on the show. It's always good to hear

445
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: from Sean. But the same way that I've just grown,

446
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: I know so many of you have as well, tired

447
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: of this Russia collusion blah, it's just all crap. We're

448
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: gonna get so tired of the attacks on Trump because

449
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: they're gonna be hyperbolic, dishonest, exaggerated, false. I mean, just

450
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: throw throw in your your prediction here, because you know

451
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. And what's so disgraceful about is

452
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: that they won't care about any of that. They will

453
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: not say, oh, you know what, maybe we shouldn't, maybe

454
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have such an oppositional attitude of the presi

455
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: United States that doesn't take facts into account. Now they're

456
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: gonna say, it's great, let's destroy let's destroy Trump whatever

457
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: we have to do to destroy I mean, and that's

458
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: why the Ivanka email thing, they're saying, that's gonna be

459
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: what is Trey Goudy doing. By the way, what are

460
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: some of these Republicans doing? Oh, we have to investigate this, now,

461
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: why what do they have to investigate. They're gonna they're

462
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: gonna hold the hearings over over Ivanka's emails. And also,

463
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: does anyone think that if the shoe were on the

464
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: other foot, if the very fancy high heeled shoe with

465
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: a classic Italian leather. No, But I mean, if we're

466
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: on the other foot, would would Democrats be calling for

467
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: an investigation of, you know, a member of the Obama

468
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: family Again, if the Obama family member was actually in

469
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: a senior government position. But the answers no. We all

470
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: know that Republicans love to play, you know, who can

471
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: out boy scout the other one at exactly the wrong moment.

472
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: And you know, you do enough of that you end

473
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: up in Jeff Flake situation where it's like, Oh, you're

474
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: not a boy scout, You're actually just you're actually just

475
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: a turncoat that no one can trust. I worry about,

476
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: But the email, like I said, it's going nowhere except

477
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna make something out of it. Sometimes the story

478
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: catches my eye. Team that's not in the usual realm

479
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: of what we discuss said, this is definitely one of them.

480
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: But I've just got I've got some questions. So a

481
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: tourist and he's actually a really a I guess, a

482
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: self styled traveling missionary was killed on this island called

483
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: North Sentinel Island, which is on the Andaman Islands, deep

484
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: deep in the Indian Ocean. And this, this is this

485
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: whole story just it's it's worth reading about. It's pretty

486
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: it's pretty bizarre, but some interesting stuff going on in

487
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: the background of it. So you have the the Ediman Islands,

488
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: this American tourist who was killed by arrows by the

489
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: local tribesmen as soon as he set foot on shore.

490
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: And that's because the Sentinel Lees, which is what they

491
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: call the inhabitants of North Sentinel Island, are one of

492
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: the very few tribes in the world who are completely

493
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 1: cut off from the outside world. They have no contact

494
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: with the outside world whatsoever. They have no electricity. They

495
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: became famous a few years ago. Some of you may

496
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: have seen this where a helicopter flew over the island

497
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: and the Sentinels were firing arrows at the helicopter. You know,

498
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean wooden bow and arrows like stone Age weapons

499
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: stuff at the at the helicopter. But as you know

500
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: stone Age, you get hit with a stone Age arrow,

501
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: you're still hit with an arrow obviously, and that's what

502
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: happened with this guy got killed. They also apparently wrapped

503
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: a rope around around his neck. John Chow twenty seven

504
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: years old. He was an American and he was killed.

505
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: And you have this tribe that's completely cut off from

506
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. In fact, the Indian Navy

507
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: isn't even allowed to spend any time on the island,

508
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: not allowed to approach the inhabitants. There's only one hundred

509
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: and fifty of them. So it's it's this small tribe

510
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: of people and they're they're known to be very hostile

511
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: to anyone. I mean, they essentially attack anyone who comes

512
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: on the island, which you know, I would note that

513
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: we have this idea of of the you know, of

514
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: indigenous peoples around the world, as you know, in the

515
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: pre colonial, pre Western expansion era, of living at some

516
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: level of peace and harmony with nature and with each other.

517
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: And actually there was a lot of constant warfare. There's

518
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: a lot of fighting over land and hunting grounds, and

519
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: people have been killing people, uh, killing each other for

520
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: as long as they've been able to lift rocks and

521
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: throw stones. Okay, so we have this very very out

522
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: of out of touch with reality view often especially from

523
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: the Academy and from the media, of how, you know,

524
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: well before before the European explorers shut up, it's like, well,

525
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: the Aztecs actually were eating each other. So I wouldn't

526
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: go so far as to say that they were that

527
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: advanced as a society by our modern standards, which is

528
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: what we're judging so much by these days. Right. You know,

529
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: we can't even watch sitcoms from the nineties because they're

530
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: so offensive, So we're constantly changing our standards. But back

531
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: to this North Centinel lease, I mean, I just wish

532
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: that I had some sense of what this guy's what

533
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: this guy's thinking was. Who you know, it's tragic he

534
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: was killed and what a waste and he lands twenty

535
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: seven years old. He got a ride with some local fishermen.

536
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: They've arrested the fisherman as responsible for his murder. They're

537
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: not actually going to arrest any of the Centinel lease.

538
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how you know Indian law applies here,

539
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: but this is essentially a situation where if you land

540
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: on this island and they kill you, like, too bad

541
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: you landed on their island. You know, if you were

542
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: shipwrecked here and you got full of spears, you're bad

543
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: luck that you landed on North Centinel Island. But then

544
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: there's this this other part of me that just wants

545
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: to know whose idea is it to this one hundred

546
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: and fifty people will live this way, almost like it's

547
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: some kind of an exhibit at a you know, at

548
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: a museum or something. You know, who thinks that there

549
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: should be people that are cut off from the world.

550
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, they're definitely living in much greater poverty and

551
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: a much greater difficulty than they would with the modern

552
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: conveniences we have for medicine and other things. I just

553
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: think this is so strange. What what is the thinking here?

554
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: You create this, this tiny enclave, this island where you know,

555
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: there's no contact, no one's allowed to land there, not

556
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: even the military's allowed to land there, and you've preserved this,

557
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: this ancient way of life. You know, one day someone's

558
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: gonna do like a vice special or something from North

559
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: Central Island, and you know, all of a sudden, they'll

560
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: be walking around wearing I don't know, you know, T

561
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: shirts from the twenty twenty twenty two you know, world

562
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: series or something, and we'll be like, oh, okay, so

563
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: you know, another one, another one that is part of

564
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: the rest of the world of commercialism and everything else

565
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: we've got going on. But this is just a fascinating

566
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: little story. The fact that there's even a place in

567
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: the world where there's an island where people who are

568
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: one hundred fifty people live and they have no contact.

569
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they've never they've never seen an iPhone, they've

570
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: never seen a television, they've never used a phone, They've

571
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: in in the year twenty eighteen soon to be twenty nineteen.

572
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: I just think that's pretty remarkable. They're still hunting with

573
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: not compact mean some of you are like buck Ey

574
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: bow hunt. No, no no, not composite compound bows with you know,

575
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty pound poll pressure at all. No, no no, no, no, no,

576
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: they're using an old school It's just it's just a

577
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: really interesting story. So if you haven't seen it, check

578
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: it out. And it's sad. Obviously this guy's family. I

579
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: guess he thought he was gonna convert all one hundred

580
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: and fifty members of this island and was a true

581
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: believer and all that, but it's not a good plan.

582
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm here to t tell you today that the reality

583
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: is that there are currently over six thousand, two hundred

584
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: individuals camped out south of the US border in Tijuana. Today,

585
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: as I stand here in Mexicali, there are more than

586
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: three thousand caravan members. The crisis is real and it

587
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: is just on the other side of this wall. We're

588
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: the most welcoming country in this world. We welcome more

589
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: refugees in the United States and every other country in

590
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: the world combined. So enough, and you can't want to

591
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: be a part of the greatest country on earth to

592
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: not respect our laws. Seeking the better life doesn't qualify

593
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: for asylum, so they're committing fraud. So that's just a

594
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: stone cold fact this president needs to do, which hasn't

595
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: happened in the pass is once they if they get

596
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: to the United States and enter, they need to be

597
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: detained until they see a judge. Because the Central American

598
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: population is run around eighty nine to ninety one will

599
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: lose their case because they don't qualify for asylum, but

600
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: they have to be in customy when they lose the

601
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: case so they can be removed, which sends a strong

602
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: message to the rest of the world that we are

603
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: a nation of laws. We'll give you a due process,

604
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: but you got to live by the judge's decision. Also,

605
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: gotta stop this catch and release process. By the way,

606
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: notice how there's what six thousand now at the border.

607
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago we were being mocked for even talking

608
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: about the caravan by the left wing media. Oh, there's

609
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: not going to be a caravan at the border. It's

610
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: all gonna break up. There's not gonna be there. They're

611
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: never gonna get there. They can't walk there. These people

612
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: were idiots. Okay, it was obvious what was going to

613
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: happen once the caravan informed they were going to get

614
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: assistance and help, which they did to take transport to

615
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: the border, you know, of the US and Mexico instead

616
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: of the USA, I mean the in Mexico Guatemala border.

617
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened. I said, that's what was gonna

618
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: happen here. I've been asking about all this. So, yeah,

619
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna hop on a bus, which is what

620
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: they're trains, which what they did. But you know, the

621
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: people that were mocking, mocking the notion of the caravan

622
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: crisis a week or two ago. Now they're experts on

623
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: asylum law. See, they've just switched their expertise from caravan

624
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: and travel routes to asylum because ultimately, this is one

625
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: of these issues where if you're willing to just separate

626
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: yourself from the reality, if you're willing to just forget

627
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: about what we all know is obviously going to be

628
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: the case, which is that these people are not going

629
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: to be they're not going to be kicked out of

630
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 1: the country. Once they're letting into the country, there won't

631
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: be the Interior enforcement to actually follow through on the law.

632
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: You get to just be the person. It's like, I

633
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: just want to welcome everybody. I just want to welcome

634
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 1: everybody to America. I'm so welcoming. Yeah, that's a more

635
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, self indulgent position, to be sure. I mean,

636
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: it'd be nice to just say, you know, but I

637
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: also feel like I wish that the uh, you know,

638
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: I wish that the government would just pay for everyone's

639
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: housing and everyone's food and everyone's medical care and everything's

640
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: fun and I wish all that were the case. But

641
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: you know what, it's not the case. It's not a

642
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: good idea either. The government would it wouldn't work that way.

643
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: You know. This is it's just like what Thomas Soul

644
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: said socialism. The best reason for it is it sounds good.

645
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: The biggest reason against it doesn't work. And open borders

646
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: and the destruction of sovereignty may make some people feel good,

647
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: but over the long term, and in fact, depending on

648
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: where you live in the country, over the short term,

649
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: it's really destructive and it is lawless. The biggest difference

650
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: between our country and our society and our southern neighbors Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala,

651
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: The biggest difference we have other than our language is

652
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: rule of law. Laws here count. Laws here are enforced

653
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: not perfectly, but overall and in general, with the exception

654
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: of a lot of immigration law. That's where the that's

655
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: where the big hole is. That's where you got you know,

656
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: twenty million people in the country illegally. Yeah, those laws

657
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: don't count. And then you've got the dish run around.

658
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think the dish is great on stuff. At

659
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: times Durst lets me down a little bit. Dursh is,

660
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, run around and he's saying that this is

661
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: different than the travel ban play clip nine. It's not

662
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: like the travel ban. The travel ban, the president was

663
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 1: explicitly authorized by statute to decide which countries to prohibit

664
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: immigration from on asylum. The president doesn't have that authority statutorially,

665
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: but he has the broad constitutional authority to control our borders.

666
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: That's right, That's what I've been saying the president. The

667
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: president is correct here. He can say hey, he can't

668
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: come into the country. Sorry. He has that constitutional authority

669
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: to defend this country. See this is this is where

670
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: the real disconnect is with the left, with the Democrats.

671
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 1: Borders are an issue of security, of national security. Who's

672
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: coming into this country and who doesn't. The commander in

673
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: chief has a say in that that can override specifics

674
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: of some of these congressional statutes. You know. This is

675
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: this would be like, you know, if Congress passed a

676
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: law that said the president can't repel an invasion, the

677
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 1: President turn around and say, oh, sorry, Constitutionally, I can

678
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: act to repell and invasion without you know, your say so.

679
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: I have an absolute right as the commander in chief

680
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: to defend this country and its immediate national security interests. Now,

681
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: I know people say, oh, buck that would have to

682
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: be litigated and argued. Well, yeah, but but there is

683
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: there is a very well established jurisprudence around that. And

684
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: that's why this Ninth Circuit, this Ninth Circuit judge, it's

685
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: just the same thing you always get. It's the hashtag

686
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: resistance judiciary. It's the last line of Obama is to

687
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: defense against Trump's executive authority, and they'll abuse it as

688
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: much as they can. They don't care that they're wrong,

689
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: just like they don't care that the Russia probe is

690
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: going nowhere. At the end of the day, the point

691
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: is to do it. The point is to abuse your authority.

692
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: The point is to go for it when you can.

693
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: So you know, I think the Trump is gonna win

694
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: at the Supreme Court level on this issue. But also

695
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: you look at the Congress and you know, look, this

696
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: should have been dealt with. This should have been dealt

697
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: with by the Republican majority. I'm sorry, but they're not

698
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: getting a good grade from me on immigration here. All right.

699
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: They had a majority in the House and the Senate,

700
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: and you know, damn it, if there needed to be

701
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: a shutdown of the government, oh yeah, the one that's

702
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: there's not going to be a shutdown coming up. Please now,

703
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But they needed to have this fight,

704
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: they needed to change some of the immigration laws, and

705
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: they didn't do it. They weren't willing to do it.

706
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: And now we're going to suffer the consequences. We're going

707
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: to be right back to where we were before Trump

708
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: got elected, where it's going to be a question of

709
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: is America over or not in the next election, because

710
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: if amnesty happens, America is never the same. It's never

711
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: the same. You might have heard me talk about snippy

712
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: dot com. Well, it's a new social media site that

713
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have any of the left wing bias you see

714
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: with many of those other platforms you already know about.

715
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: If you've looked at snippy dot com in the past

716
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: and left, you need to look again. Yesterday I was

731
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: com is your new alternative social media. I think it

732
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: is winding down. The President's answering of these questions doesn't

733
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: happen in a vacuum. The other things we see off.

734
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: For example, Special Counsel Maler is evidently going to allow

735
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: General Flynn to be sentenced. It looks like Manaford is

736
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: heading towards sentencing. I can tell you, as an experienced

737
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: former or prosecutor, that if you're intending to bring another

738
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: big case and you think you have these witnesses who

739
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: would be cooperating witnesses in that case, you don't let

740
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: them get sentenced. You have them testify first, and then

741
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 1: they get sentenced down the road. Just the fact that

742
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: we have indictments that abroad, he's letting the witnesses or

743
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: the potential witnesses get sentenced. That's sure signals like things

744
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: are winding down. I certainly hope our friend Andy McCarthy

745
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: is right. I know he's not the only one who's

746
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: sang it. But you know what Andy says that it

747
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: adds a little oomph, you know, it adds a little

748
00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,280
Speaker 1: there's a little more gravitas behind it. This analysis says

749
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: that the Mueller probe is winding down. What a what

750
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: a just a circus. The whole thing has been, I mean,

751
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: what a waste of resources, a waste of time. Our

752
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: elections are not any safer. We haven't any change in

753
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: US Russia posture. Russia still is gonna meddle when it

754
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: wants to meddle and do weird things on the internet.

755
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: And you know it's up to us to try to

756
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: offset that with whatever defensive and countermeasures we have. Right,

757
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: but the whole thing, I mean, this was in my

758
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: first year on syndicated radio, which was twenty seventeen. This

759
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: was the story that you just you couldn't escape, right,

760
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: it was all the time, and day after day, Oh,

761
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: this Russia theory, that Russia theory. This person. I remember

762
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: when the Don Trump Junior Kushner Trump Tower meeting came out.

763
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it was the end of the Trump prey.

764
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: It was the end of the Trump presidency. Over and

765
00:44:54,960 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: over again. Of course, all that was just hyperbolic crap.

766
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: It was nonsense. It was not actually what we were

767
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 1: at least if you believe the media led to believe.

768
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: It was just them playing out this fantasy in real

769
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: time about how Trump didn't really win the election, how

770
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: there was this Russian hand behind it all. And I

771
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: have become exhausted with this story because there's so little

772
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: new information they ever add to it. Either oh you know,

773
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: they're now and the information we want they're either redacting

774
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: or we haven't gotten yet, you know, the information we

775
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 1: really want to get, things like, oh, did General Flynn

776
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: actually lie to the FBI or did they just decide

777
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: to claim a scalp early on here to make this

778
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: whole thing seem more legitimate and and make a very

779
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: shady judgment call that, Yeah, he kind of lied, so

780
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: let's act like he lied. They're gonna be sentencing him soon.

781
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: But oh, I think Flynn should be pardoned. I'm just

782
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: gonna come out and say it. I think Flynn should

783
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: be pardoned. I don't think they'd lied about anything that

784
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 1: was material or right. People say, oh, he love, he love. Yeah,

785
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: Well guess what. There are actually some distinctions in what

786
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: the lie. There's some distinctions in the law about what

787
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: lie is prosecutable and what lies not. And and if

788
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: they said, you know, did you discuss sanctions with Sergey

789
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: Kisliak on the phone, he goes, no, I don't. I

790
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think we talked about that, or

791
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, that could be a misremembering, that could be

792
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: And it all depends on the context. Right, is it

793
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:28,439
Speaker 1: a willful and you know, knowingly and willfully lying about

794
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: a material fact. That's what he would have to That's

795
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: the threshold that the prosecutors would have to cross to

796
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: get him. I just I don't believe, based on what

797
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: we know, they crossed that threshold. I think that they

798
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: just they wanted to get Flint. That's what I think,

799
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: quite obviously has been the case here. And you know,

800
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: he's been really good on this and just barely held

801
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: on to his congressional seat. If one I understand is

802
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: Devin Newness who has been talking about this for a

803
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: long time, and you know he's been a warrior on

804
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: this issue. You gotta get the guy credit. He's taken

805
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: so much heat from the left wing media. He's been

806
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: willing to stand up and say, I mean, this is

807
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: just this is just nonsense. And here's here's Devin Nunez

808
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: with the latest on this play clip ten. I mean,

809
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: there was never any collusion between the Trump campaign in Russia. Sadly,

810
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: you have like half of the Democrats in this country

811
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: that believe that somehow the Russians change votes in the

812
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: last election, and the people who have been spreading this

813
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: poison out to be a shamed of themselves. So I'm

814
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: glad that that maybe this is coming to an end.

815
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: But I will I will stress I still don't believe it.

816
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: I won't believe it until I see it. I think

817
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: there's some reluctance in the White House to actually to

818
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: actually go out and release all the documents, the four

819
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 1: buckets now as we call them, of the the Carter Page, FISA,

820
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,280
Speaker 1: the third Renewal, we have the Bruce or three O two's,

821
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: we have the exculpatory evidence, and now we also have

822
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: a fourth bucket of emails that the FBI was sending

823
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: around that shows that clearly they knew what they were

824
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: doing before they went to the FISA court. I wonder

825
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: why there is that reluctance. I mean, first of all,

826
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,479
Speaker 1: every everything that Newness is saying here, I essentially sign

827
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: off on agree with. You know, I think people should

828
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: be ashamed, but they're not because this was always about

829
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: partisan payback and they've achieved that. If Muller, if the

830
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: Muller Final Report comes out next week and it and

831
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: it entirely clears Trump of any personal wrongdoing, which maybe

832
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: it will, maybe it won't. It'll probably say something about,

833
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, interference with government something or something, not obstruction,

834
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: but close to obstruction. That's what the Muller Report will

835
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: probably say about Trump. And then they'll leave it up

836
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: to the impeachment process, which is what they want to,

837
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: you know, be the only mechanism of justice that can

838
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: be applied. So it won't be a criminal issue. It'll

839
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: be a political judgment issue. But even if that happened,

840
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: you gotta stand, the left has gotten their way here.

841
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:58,760
Speaker 1: They have really hampered, they've really slowed down, they've weighed

842
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: down the administration, and they've I mean, when I spoke

843
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: to Trump about this a couple of months ago, he

844
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: was fuming, and he should be. He's like, these people

845
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: are nuts. I colluded with Russia to win the election.

846
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 1: The guy was doing three, you know, rallies, four rallies,

847
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: five rallies a day, sometimes tens of thousands of people.

848
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: He's a political phenomenon. And the secret sauce is some

849
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: Facebook ad buys with Vladimir Putin given a wink and

850
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: a nod. The secret sauce is somebody releasing some John

851
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: Podesti emails that showed that they you know, didn't really

852
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: the DNC wasn't fair to burning which by the way,

853
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: they weren't. It was the truth. It's not even like

854
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 1: it was a disinformation campaign. The Podesta emails, the DNC hack.

855
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: All that we found out from that was stuff that

856
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: was actually true. So, you know, what are we even

857
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: really talking about with that? But Democrats got their way here.

858
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: The process is the punishment. The whole purpose of this

859
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: investigation was to conduct the investigation, to squeeze people, to

860
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: put them under duress, to isolate the president, to scare

861
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 1: away his allies. That was the motivation behind this from

862
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: the start. Yeah, maybe in their in their dreams, they

863
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: thought we could, you know, Trump will make some misstep,

864
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, I know a lot of them were hoping

865
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: that Mueller would have this one on one showdown with

866
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: Trump under oath, and Mueller would finally get him with

867
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: a perjury trappe. Think about how that would have imagined.

868
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: For a moment they'd actually gotten their wish and Trump

869
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: got a little trumpy and was a little bit fast

870
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: and loose with an unimportant thing, you know, with but

871
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: something that Muller might be able to make stick as

872
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: a as lying under oath. Think of how divided the

873
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: country would have been over that. I mean, think of

874
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: the ramifications of we're going to bring criminal charges against

875
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: the president for this, you know, under perjury, underlying under oath,

876
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: because we had him sit down for this bogus bullcrap

877
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: Russia collusion investigation. I mean, think about the way that

878
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: people would react to that. Who were Trump, think might

879
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 1: be me and you, I mean, how would we feel

880
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: about that? This is really what they pull. This is

881
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: the nonsense that's going on. You know, there's so much

882
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: rewriting of the Bill Clinton saga to make it seem

883
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: like there was this javert like ken Starr who was

884
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: going after him and Monsieur Valjean Da Da da da

885
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: those you whore lay miss fans. You caught that weird

886
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: reference I just made. But the rest of your life

887
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: is Buck having some kind of a breakdown. But the

888
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: truth is that the Clinton stuff was all self inflicted.

889
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: The Clinton stuff was corrupt beyond anybody's you know, beyond

890
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: anyone's imagining. And you know, I think that that's that's

891
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 1: often as part of the retelling of things now, we're

892
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: always led to believe that, oh, there's something so you know,

893
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: it was so unfair what they did to the Clintons. No,

894
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: it's unfair what what they did to themselves. Unfair. They

895
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: didn't selves, by the way, the the Clinton Foundation report

896
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: is out, and I you know, this is one of

897
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: these things where I've been saying for a very long

898
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: time that that you will see how corrupt the Clintons

899
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: are and it will be very apparent. And I was

900
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: at c a end doing on air analysis in the election.

901
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: I'm saying, the Clinton Foundation, the fact that no one's

902
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: looking into this is appalling, the fact that nobody is

903
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: really digging into what is clearly a pay to play scheme,

904
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 1: and they're there, they're full. You know, donations and everything

905
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: for twenty seventeen have now been have now been put

906
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 1: out there, and you know, they went from getting basically

907
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million dollars plus and donations to

908
00:52:55,920 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars plus. Yeah, that's right, all of a sudden,

909
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: no one cares about charity. All of a sudden, no

910
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: one cares about these causes that oh, oh, you mean

911
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: they weren't donating to the Clintons because they wanted to

912
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: help the world. You mean they were buying access and influence.

913
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 1: You mean the Clintons created a charity that was really

914
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: affront for buying a seat at the table with the

915
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: Clintons when she was going to be president, which is

916
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: what everybody thought. It is disgusting. And there were so

917
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: many people and I could even I could even name

918
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 1: some names, so many people who were just a part

919
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: of the Clinton lies, the Clinton lies around this issue

920
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: and said, oh, yeah, that's right, it's all just about

921
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: charity work. That's why when she's not going to be

922
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: president anymore, all of a sudden, the donations almost just

923
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: just evaporate. The whole thing was a corrupse game. I'm

924
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: glad that Congress says that they're going to look into this.

925
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: I like this announcement for Mark Meadows. We broke it

926
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: on the hill that there's going to be more because

927
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: we should look deeper at the Clinton Foundation. There's there's

928
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: not just smoke there, there's fire. Fundamentally, we have returned

929
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: to a nation that has decided it should be very

930
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: difficult for people of color to vote. It was racially driven.

931
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to say if she'd had a fair election,

932
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: she already would have won. Brian Camp, the man who

933
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: basically pickpocketed Jim Crow and turned this election into a

934
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 1: voter suppression election. He has been blocking African Americans from

935
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 1: voting for some time now. I think that Stacy Abrams

936
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 1: election is being stolen from her using what I think

937
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: are insidious measures to disenfranchise certain groups of another party

938
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: is the law and order party, but clearly Republicans always

939
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 1: tried to posture and position themselves that way, but they

940
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: used the law when it benefits them. They cheat to

941
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: win elections, they disenfranchise voters. If Stacy Abrams doesn't win

942
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: in Georgia, they stole it. It's clear. It's clear how

943
00:54:55,239 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 1: the branch stole Christmas aka the elections down in judge

944
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: all lies. By the way, I want to just remind

945
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: you that yes, in the end, Kemp defeated Abrams, and

946
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 1: that's the way it's going to be. But the same

947
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: media that always tells you they're just there to just

948
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: speak the facts, man, just tell you the truth. They're

949
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: there to just make sure that we all know exactly

950
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: what's gone on and what happened and everything else. That

951
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: same media is not at all feeling chastened or in

952
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: any way like they should change their attitudes about anything

953
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: after running with these wild accusations about the Georgia election

954
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: based in no actual information, nothing, nothing, what's up they have?

955
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: There's no evidence that kempt in any of these things. None.

956
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: And all you have to do is look at Georgia

957
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: election law and no, this is all mythology. It was

958
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 1: spread by the media in an echo chamber fashion without

959
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: the most basic fact checking. I was astonished. Look, I

960
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: have to research state by state how elections, who's in

961
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: charge of Ward and what's going on. I mean, you

962
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of states. You know. Obama says

963
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: fifty seven. I say fifty. There's a lot of states

964
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: out there, and when you look into what the truth

965
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: is about Georgia, you find out that Kemp had nothing

966
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: to do with the move you know, the moving polling

967
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: places which have been moved since twenty twelve. Kemp had

968
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 1: nothing to do with these different voter suppression measures which

969
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: were all approved at the county level by different elected

970
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: boards of you know, election people. There's nothing to do

971
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: with him. And this would be like blaming me for

972
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: the crappy prime time lineup at CNN. I agree that

973
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: CNN Prime time lineup is full of clowns and jokers,

974
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: but it's not my fault. I didn't do that, right,

975
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,720
Speaker 1: don't yell at me. They're blaming Kemp and they're telling

976
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: all these stories of voter suppression. Meanwhile, they had record turnout,

977
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 1: So if there was a voter suppression effort, it was

978
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: the worst voter suppression effort ever because it would have backfired.

979
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: You had a higher turnout then you usually would have

980
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: in Georgia for governor's election, much higher turnout in fact,

981
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: depending on the year you compare it to. And just

982
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: the recklessness of these media allegations and they don't. They

983
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: don't go back and correct anything. I mean, that's why,

984
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: in the immortal words of the one and only mister

985
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh, the drive buys. Yeah, they just leave wreckage

986
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: in their way, through wreckage and destruction and misery, and

987
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: they just keep on driving. Just they just destroy, destroy,

988
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: and then they go on to the next thing. They

989
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: don't go back and correct. They were spreading lies about

990
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: this Georgia election. You know who was at the very

991
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: forefront of spreading those lines. The Democrat candidate herself, Stacy

992
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: Abrams play cliped four. It was not a free and

993
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: fair election. It was not fair to the thousands who

994
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: were forced to wait in long lines. It was not

995
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: fair to the thousands that were put on hold with

996
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: their registration. Is he the legitimate governor elect of Georgia?

997
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 1: He is the person who won an adequate number of votes.

998
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: But you're not using the word legitimate. Is he the

999
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: legitimate governor elect of Georgia? He is the legal governor

1000
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: of Georgia. Won't say legitimate. Won't say legitimate because she

1001
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: doesn't think he is, or she at least is telling

1002
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: people he's not. That's disgusting, that's disgusting. I remember when

1003
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: the big knock on on Trump was that he wasn't

1004
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 1: going to accept the twenty sixteen election results. Remember that.

1005
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: And now we've gone through as a nation, been dragged

1006
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: through two years of left wing delusion where they've been

1007
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: refusing to accept election results, and we see that they've

1008
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: learned nothing as a result of all of this. I mean,

1009
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: nothing has changed with them. They still very clearly have

1010
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: a sore loser attitude anytime there's an important election that

1011
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: doesn't go their way. And yet I'm quite sure the

1012
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: next time around they'll say, well, if Trump doesn't win

1013
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: re election, he may refuse to accept the results. You know,

1014
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: this is just something that they say, This is something

1015
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: that they will push out there, and the rest of

1016
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: us are supposed to just accept this for some for

1017
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: some reason, we're supposed to accept that this is you

1018
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: know that there's this. I mean, Jonah Goldberg actually wrote

1019
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: about it this week for National Review. Hes like, there's

1020
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: just a huge double standard of the media coverage this.

1021
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: Of course there is. Yeah, there's a huge double standard,

1022
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, And as I've said in the last few days,

1023
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: for Democrats, it's you know, heads we win, tales you lose.

1024
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: That's the way elections go. You either you either didn't

1025
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: win legitimately you know, you cheated, or we're gonna still

1026
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: bash you for not accepting the election results even if

1027
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: you accept them, right, because we're gonna say that you

1028
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: weren't going to accept them ahead of time. I mean,

1029
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: it's and they're gonna say it the next time too,

1030
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: even even when the Conservatives, even when Republicans go, okay,

1031
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:01,959
Speaker 1: lost that, when they go, oh well, you know, maybe

1032
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: they will, they're gonna try to suppress the next one.

1033
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to cheat in the next one. You know,

1034
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: there's no good faith that they offer on this ever.

1035
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: I you'll notice this is a recurring theme. A left

1036
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't approach our side with good faith on much,

1037
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: on much of anything these days. So and it's troubling,

1038
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: it's troubly. But this whole Oh by the way, Mia

1039
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: Love actually ended up losing out in Utah, which was

1040
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: a surprise to some folks. So I guess Trump was

1041
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: right when he said maybe she should have been a

1042
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: little nicer to Trump. It looked like maybe Mia was

1043
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: gonna get the last laugh. But nope, that is not

1044
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: that is not, in fact, what happened. It turned out

1045
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: that she probably would have been better off being a

1046
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: little more pro Trump and a little less off on

1047
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: her own there. Um, speaking of the speaking of the

1048
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: way that these elections have have shaken out, I've just

1049
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: got to say, you know, there there's also, um this

1050
01:00:56,080 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: this sentiment that that continues to get this attentional left

1051
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: that there's no such thing as voter fraud. You know,

1052
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: they always say, they always say this, they'll say, there's

1053
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: no voter fraud. To speak, voter fraud is not a problem, folks, right,

1054
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: there's there's no why would anyone do it? They say?

1055
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: And this reminds me of when they talk about how

1056
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 1: women don't lie about sexual assault. Well, there are actually

1057
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: are very important, prominent cases where women have lied. Doesn't

1058
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: mean all women do, mean some women do. Very few

1059
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: people engage in voter fraud as a percentage, but people

1060
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: do engage in voter fraud. And you know, this is

1061
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: a story that's going to get just the most superficial treatment,

1062
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: most superficial coverage. And it's out of California, no less.

1063
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: Here's the story from from NBC. Nine people were charged

1064
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: in connection with a voter fraud scheme in which homeless

1065
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: people in Los Angeles' skid Row neighborhood were given cash

1066
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: and cigarettes in exchange for fraudulent signatures on ballot initiatives,

1067
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: petitions and voter registration forms. Prosecutors Tuesday. The Los Angeles

1068
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: County distric Attorney's office wouldn't identify a motive or details

1069
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: of the alleged scheme, but in May, two news organizations

1070
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: discovered that initial allegations connected to three of the nine

1071
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: suspects involving gathering signatures four ballot initiatives. This is voter fraud,

1072
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: which we talk about and we know it exists, but

1073
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 1: it isn't exactly something that patrol officers deal with. LAPD

1074
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Detective Megan Aguilar said on said back in May, so

1075
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, this is a felony complaint about people circulating

1076
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: petitions with false names, voter fraud, registering a fictitious person,

1077
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: registering non existent persons. And you could say, Buck, why

1078
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 1: would anyone take this risk? Why would anyone be so

1079
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: dumb as to risk their own freedom and you know,

1080
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: their own future. They try to get some extra signatures

1081
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: for a ballot initiative, and I say to you, I

1082
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 1: don't know you know, some people will rob a convenience

1083
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,439
Speaker 1: with a gun for twenty dollars and go to jail

1084
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: for twenty years. I mean, people do things. But in

1085
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: the elections that we just saw, the margin of victory

1086
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: was so narrow in some of these cases that you

1087
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't need a big scheme of fraud at all to

1088
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: throw the election to one side or the other. I mean,

1089
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: when you're talking about a separation of just the thousands

1090
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 1: or even hundreds of votes, that's not hard to do.

1091
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: That's not hard to rig. So I highlight the story

1092
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: just because you will continue to hear the left never

1093
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,959
Speaker 1: budgetes on this. They start off with there's no such

1094
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: thing as voter fraud, and they hope that people just

1095
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 1: believe that, and then when they're called out on that lie,

1096
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: they say, well, voter fraud is not a big problem.

1097
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: It's not a real problem. No, it's a problem. It happens,

1098
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: people cheat in elections. Don't forget because they what they

1099
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,479
Speaker 1: want to do is make it seem like any voter

1100
01:03:54,640 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: integrity measures are about racism and voter suppression. That's their

1101
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 1: preferred storyline here, that's what they say it is. Meanwhile,

1102
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: oh no, it's actually about fraud and preventing it. Don't

1103
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 1: bring in the prospecting. I say, we trust until we don't.

1104
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: We got ourselves. Indeed, brother, you're in this Getting Out.

1105
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: That's from Mayans MC, a new show on FX just

1106
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: had its first season out this year. We have one

1107
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: of the actors from Mayans joining us now, Vincent Vargas.

1108
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: He's an Army vet and also the author of a

1109
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: new book, Light the Fuse, that is out now. Vincent,

1110
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: thank you so much for forgiving us some time. Thank you.

1111
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm just honored to be out on hire. First of all,

1112
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: tell us how did you transition from being in the

1113
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 1: s VIS to being on a show that's a spinoff

1114
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: of Sons of Anarchy? How that happened? It was crazy.

1115
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: I started out doing YouTube about six years ago. YouTube

1116
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: videos and if they're kind of progressed, you know, me

1117
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: and my friends producer own movie, and if they're kind

1118
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: of continue to progress and trying to grow in the space.

1119
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: So I didn't want to be a YouTube guy in

1120
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: my whole life. I want to try and step into

1121
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. And I went to one audition. They

1122
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: needed a big Mexican with tattoos, and luckily I fit department.

1123
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: Wait did you did you get? Did you really get

1124
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: your first audition? It went your way? That's and I

1125
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: feel like in Hollywood that's like impossible. It never happened. Yeah,

1126
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: it's unheard of me. I've done so much work on

1127
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 1: my own from filming my own stuff, producing my own stuff.

1128
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: They had enough content to find to see what I

1129
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: was able to do in my capacity of acting and

1130
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: so um, you know, for the character it worked perfectly.

1131
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: So I was just very fortunate. And what do you

1132
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 1: do when you were in the army? Who was the

1133
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: second of the twenty fifth Range of Regiment. I did

1134
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 1: that for four years, deployed three times with them, and

1135
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 1: then I got out and I'm still currently in the

1136
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: reserves right now. I'm an Army drill sergeant. Wow, okay, man, Well,

1137
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: tell me tell me a bit about this book that

1138
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: just you just have it out now, Light the fuse. Yeah,

1139
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: you know. Um, throughout the years of being being on

1140
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: social media and becoming you know, someone that people follow,

1141
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, and being out there to influence, I decided

1142
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring a lot of my life experiences

1143
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,919
Speaker 1: and put them on paper for others to follow. I've

1144
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: been doing a lot of public speaking about transitioning out

1145
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: of the military and and some of the toxic mindset

1146
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: I've had myself. And what I wanted to do is

1147
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: put that on paper, you know. I wanted to give

1148
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,919
Speaker 1: people the honest answer. Here's what happened to me. Here's

1149
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: the things that I went through. Here's the negatives and

1150
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: the positives. What went well, what didn't go so well?

1151
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: You know, And I felt that, you know, since I

1152
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: am in the limelight right now, if I can provide

1153
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 1: some kind of value to two other veterans getting out

1154
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 1: and having trouble transition, then so be it. Well, what

1155
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: were some of your challenges? I mean to talk us

1156
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: through some of this? Oh man? You know, being Special

1157
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 1: Operation for so long, I was so dedicated to the job.

1158
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: I committed to it more than I did my family. Um,

1159
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: and it cost me that, you know, I went through

1160
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: I've been through two divorces now because of my addiction

1161
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 1: to being good at my job, choosing work over family.

1162
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: And now at my age, I've missed so many years

1163
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: of my kids' lives, from birthdays to recitals, to to

1164
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 1: to to births, that I refused to do that anymore.

1165
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: And I choose to say yet the family more often.

1166
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 1: And this is something I talk about in the book

1167
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: and balance. I try and balance my life. Uh, and

1168
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: it was never so balanced before, and so that's why

1169
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: I was. You know, one of my struggles was, you know,

1170
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 1: I became a single parent for kids, and now I

1171
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: had to balance my life. And so when that happened,

1172
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: it really changed my mindset of all the decisions i've

1173
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: i've I've made throughout the years of my career, and

1174
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 1: in that in that career transition, Vincent, when when you

1175
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: finally decided you were going to get into the content

1176
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:59,479
Speaker 1: creation business, how do you make that jump? It was tough.

1177
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: You know, my friend is one of my friends, Matt Best.

1178
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: We were arranged the town together. Oh your friends of Matt.

1179
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 1: I love Matt from Black Rifle. I don't realize your

1180
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: matter of friends. That's great. I'm the big Mexican guy

1181
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: in all his videos. I didn't realize that something fun

1182
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: at it. You know, we were connected through Nick Irving

1183
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: the Reaper. I didn't realize you and Matt Best are friends.

1184
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: Now now you're like family. But continue on. You were

1185
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,680
Speaker 1: saying yeah with me and Matt, we were in a

1186
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: second right of the town he started Article fifteen clothing.

1187
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: I lived in El Passo at the time. We started

1188
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,680
Speaker 1: doing videos together because he said they need can help it.

1189
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,640
Speaker 1: From there, it grown, it grew, you know, and I

1190
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: learned office by watching Matt and JT, the two guys

1191
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: who started article fifteen with the other guys, and so

1192
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: as I continue to watch their progress and how they

1193
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 1: did it, you know, I was learning. I was just

1194
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: like a private on a job. I was sitting there

1195
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 1: and learning from them, learning what they do. And as

1196
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 1: they got to the point where I wanted to branch

1197
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 1: off and focus on what I felt more passionate about

1198
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: was my family and helping veterans in my aspect and

1199
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: where I believed that was more powerful, and I decided

1200
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 1: to go my own route, you know. And you know

1201
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: we still owned less fingers with you together. You know,

1202
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: we still work on several ventures together. But you know,

1203
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 1: I had to focus on what I was more passionate about,

1204
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: and it was it was trying to speak on the

1205
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 1: transition side of things for veterans. If you could go

1206
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: back and tell younger you, we're speaking of Vincent Vargas,

1207
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: author of A light Diffuse Vincent do you go back

1208
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: and tell younger you, right when you were making that

1209
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 1: initial at that initial period, when you're transitioning out of

1210
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: special operations, what would that one piece of advice be,

1211
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: And it would be not to slow down. I felt

1212
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: that once I got stagnity, man, I started pointing fingers,

1213
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And when I started pointing fingers,

1214
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 1: you know, I let drinking uh slow me down and

1215
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 1: then and then it was just this downward spiral of

1216
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: crap because, you know, because I was, oh, the fear

1217
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: of missing out. I felt like I was missing out

1218
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,679
Speaker 1: of what the guys are doing overseas. I was so

1219
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: worried about what they're doing. I stopped thinking about what

1220
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,640
Speaker 1: I was doing, and as they're continuing their lives I was,

1221
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: I was detweeting. I was not. I was not improving,

1222
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 1: and that killed me because it set me back several years,

1223
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: I believe, you know, it's set me back a while

1224
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 1: and for me to finally figure it out, I've actually

1225
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 1: gotten into the border control and that started my path,

1226
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: but it really that was still just another I was

1227
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 1: still just doing the same job it was doing the

1228
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: military and NAT border control, you know. But I would

1229
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: definitely tell myself. Just keep going towards the mission. Keep

1230
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 1: keep moving, because once I got stagnant is when I

1231
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: really started feeling more depressed and having a lot of

1232
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 1: issues with that. I hear you. I always tell myself,

1233
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: and it's been a mantra that I've adopted for last

1234
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: ten years. Just take action. Take action much better than

1235
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: the alternative. First of all, Vincent, thank you for your service.

1236
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 1: Good luck to you with the show Mayans, and also

1237
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 1: with the book Light Diffuse. You can get it on Amazon.

1238
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:50,600
Speaker 1: It's Vincent's stories, some advice and Vincent really appreciate you

1239
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: joining and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours my friend.

1240
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 1: Come back anytime for sure. Thank you very much. I

1241
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 1: appreciate it all right, team, We'll be back in just

1242
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:02,839
Speaker 1: a few moments here with the Sean Parnell. So. Trump

1243
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 1: has gotten a lot of attention recently from people that

1244
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: want to criticize him over what he says about people

1245
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:14,679
Speaker 1: with military some people with military service, what he's done

1246
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: with regard to the troops and all of that. And

1247
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: there's even this poll that they Hill where I work

1248
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: put out that says that eighty eight percent of people

1249
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: want or believe the president should visit troops in war zones.

1250
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,879
Speaker 1: So I figured, let's actually bring somebody on. He's got

1251
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: combat service in the military. Also a bestselling author, decorated

1252
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: war hero, all around kick ass guy, a great American.

1253
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: Sean Parnell is with us now, everybody. He is the

1254
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: author of Outlaw Platoon, which is a nonfiction about his

1255
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 1: time in Afghanistan. Great book. I've read it cover to cover.

1256
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Also the author of the new novel Man of War,

1257
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: which is very highly regarded and doing very well. Mister

1258
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 1: Sean Parnell, great to have you back. Hey, it is

1259
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,680
Speaker 1: great to be here. You're excited to be with you.

1260
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend. So let's just start with some

1261
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: of this, okay, because I feel like, on the one hand,

1262
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, you hear all this stuff about Trump all

1263
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 1: the time, about how you're hearing from the media. Of

1264
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 1: course they're saying, well, Trump hasn't visited our troops in

1265
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: the war zones. He hasn't been overseas to visit them.

1266
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 1: And I always want to say, Okay, the poll about

1267
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: whether Americans think that president should do that matters less

1268
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: to me than if we could get a poll of

1269
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: do the troops want him to visit do they really

1270
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: care about him visiting them in the war zones? Per se?

1271
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 1: I just want to pose this to you, man, what

1272
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: do you think I mean? Is this? Is this a

1273
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 1: miss Is this a misstep by the president? You know

1274
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 1: what I do? It does bother me a little bit

1275
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:51,560
Speaker 1: that he hasn't visited the troops in either Iraq, Afghanistan

1276
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 1: or somewhere else. Um. You know, his title was commander

1277
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: in chief, and so I think that the president, whether

1278
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,640
Speaker 1: it's a Republican or Democrat, buck, I don't care, but

1279
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: I think that the president has a duty and obligation

1280
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 1: to our troops before anything else. He's their commander. And

1281
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, it would be kind of a pain when

1282
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: you're when you're in combat, you know, a VIP comes,

1283
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 1: it's always kind of a pain to sort of seize

1284
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: combat operations and get out of your get out of

1285
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: your rhythm a little bit to accommodate those types of visitors.

1286
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: Everybody hates the dog and pony show, but I do

1287
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 1: think that deep down inside the troops, like when you're

1288
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: in those types of situations, it does matter that it

1289
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:36,959
Speaker 1: does matter to them, man. I mean, it's really important

1290
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 1: to know that the president your commander in chief has

1291
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,719
Speaker 1: your back when you're in the field and you're putting

1292
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you're putting your life on the line every

1293
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 1: single day when you're over there. I mean, you know,

1294
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:50,680
Speaker 1: in many cases, I mean, you you convince yourself that

1295
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: you're living on borrowed time, and you want to know

1296
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 1: that the mission worth it. And I think I think

1297
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: the President communicates that the mission is worth it by

1298
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 1: simply showing up, you know. And so you know. On

1299
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:04,679
Speaker 1: the other hand, that the president's only been in office,

1300
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean, what two years now, so he has some time,

1301
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 1: but I would like him to make it a priority

1302
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 1: because I do think it's important. Why do you think

1303
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,679
Speaker 1: he hasn't gone. I mean, I feel like the two

1304
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 1: groups that this president deep down does have a lot

1305
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 1: of respect for at his core and is pretty unwavering

1306
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: on in terms of the way he feels about them

1307
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: in general, our military and law enforcement. I agree, I agree,

1308
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:31,640
Speaker 1: And it's it's difficult to know. I think, you know,

1309
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: I read an article today about Maddis telling him that

1310
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: he should be hesitant about visiting war zones, and I'm

1311
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: not entirely sure why, uh SECTF Mattis gave him that advice.

1312
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 1: But if I if I were advising the president, I

1313
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 1: would I would tell him, Look, you know, the Secret

1314
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 1: Service is gonna is gonna have your back when you're

1315
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 1: over there. They're gonna make sure that you're safe while

1316
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 1: you're in these war zones. But you gotta go. We

1317
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:58,720
Speaker 1: gotta make time for it on the schedule. Uh, just

1318
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 1: to sho Like I said before, like so much of

1319
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: being a leader, whether you're a combat leader or some

1320
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 1: sort of political leader in Washington, it's just you just

1321
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 1: gotta show up. You gotta show up and show that

1322
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 1: you care. And it's inconvenient, you know, it takes time.

1323
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: On there's a lot of things that the president needs

1324
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: to be focused on here domestically. In fact, his agenda

1325
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: putting it putting America First is a major part of

1326
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: his agenda. But there are troops serving in harm's way,

1327
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:27,599
Speaker 1: and I do think he needs to make the time

1328
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 1: to go talk to them and meet them because it

1329
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 1: is important. Do you think that he's also is he

1330
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:34,720
Speaker 1: starting to develop a problem with you know, he went

1331
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 1: after McRaven a little bit, and mcgraven goes after him, right,

1332
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 1: and mcgraven's a Democrat, just you know, he's a Democrat

1333
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: and served his country only. But the guy's a Democrat

1334
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: and he got into the political realm, right. I mean

1335
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: this is you know, we can try to we can

1336
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:47,640
Speaker 1: walk and cho gum, we can separate these things as

1337
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: as adults do. But that said, I mean, you know,

1338
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: now people always saying, you know, he went after McCain's service,

1339
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:57,719
Speaker 1: he made that crack about you know, getting bin laden faster,

1340
01:15:57,960 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: and you know there's some of this stuff. Do you

1341
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: think he is he creating a problem for himself with

1342
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: this where even even some of his Look, I mean

1343
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here, I'm I'm a pretty strong Trump defender,

1344
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I kind of wish he would just

1345
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 1: not do that thing. Sometimes I agree. I mean, look,

1346
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:15,760
Speaker 1: I didn't like when he went after McCain. I thought

1347
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: that was tasteless and unnecessary, and I called him out

1348
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:21,720
Speaker 1: on it. Then. Um, you know, but I think that

1349
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:26,680
Speaker 1: the mcgraven comment, you know, I mean, people don't like

1350
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 1: Trump's style. I get that, but everybody wanted to catch

1351
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: Bin Lauden sooner, and I think, what Trump? You know,

1352
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,680
Speaker 1: He later Clarifier's remarks to say, like, look, we had

1353
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 1: ample opportunity from Clinton to president Bush or well, mostly

1354
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 1: under Clinton's presidency, we had ample opportunity to go after

1355
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:45,600
Speaker 1: and catch Bin Lauden before nine to eleven happened. And

1356
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 1: while I think his comments could have been phrased better

1357
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 1: and made into less of an attack on McRaven, I

1358
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: mean I think everybody. I think everybody would have liked

1359
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 1: to catch Bin Ladden sooner and faster than that. I

1360
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: just think that one that was more of a of

1361
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: a the way Trump speaks thing instead of it. I

1362
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 1: don't think Trump is trying to be disrespectful to anybody

1363
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: in uh yeah. But but I also I'm always torn

1364
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 1: with this say I don't have a problem. I don't

1365
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 1: have a problem with Trump. I don't have a problem

1366
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: with with the president. You're exercising his First Amendment right

1367
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: to criticize who he wants to criticize, like this, this

1368
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 1: idea that you know, oh well, it's it's not presidential,

1369
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: And I guess I just I find myself scratching my

1370
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 1: head at well, who gets to define what's presidential? You know?

1371
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,840
Speaker 1: To me, I part of what I like about Trump,

1372
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 1: and I think part of what his appeal is to

1373
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 1: the masses. And believe me, I'm surrounded by blue dog

1374
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 1: Democrats out here that are gonna vote for him again

1375
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. There's no question about it. Part of

1376
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: his appeal is that he doesn't always say the things

1377
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 1: that you like, but at least you know he means

1378
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:48,120
Speaker 1: what he's saying, you know, And there's a certain appeal

1379
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: to that. And whether whether or not it's it's you know,

1380
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: people just think that he's authentic Buck, and I think

1381
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,640
Speaker 1: that that is the appeal. Whether you like what he

1382
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: says or not, people people feel that he is being

1383
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: honest with them. Yeah, well that's for sure. Definitely definitely

1384
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:07,799
Speaker 1: lets it fly. So you know, there's some interesting, interesting

1385
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: shades here to the conversation with the president. But I

1386
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 1: want to switch gears because obviously, Sean, we're all going

1387
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 1: to be stuff in our faces here pretty soon. It

1388
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: is the one day of the year, I guess, other

1389
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 1: than your birthday with birthday cake, when it's just expected

1390
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 1: that you're going to loosen up the belt and go

1391
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:25,719
Speaker 1: for it big time. What are some of the either

1392
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 1: culinary secrets or wonderful Thanksgiving traditions of the the Parnell

1393
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: Crew stretching back for generations. Well, we all I mean,

1394
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 1: we always do turkey, and we always do gravy, we

1395
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,759
Speaker 1: always have ham, and on occasion we'll we'll have pasta,

1396
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: right because I come from you know, half of my

1397
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 1: family as Italian, so we do spaghetti with meatballs as well. Um,

1398
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 1: it's you know, and I think, I think for us,

1399
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 1: the most important thing about Thanksgiving is you know, getting

1400
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 1: together with your family and celebrating family. You know, all

1401
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: too often in our culture today, I mean it's like,

1402
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we I feel like in many cases, we

1403
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: don't focus on the things that matter to us enough

1404
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,679
Speaker 1: and just like take a deep breath and look around

1405
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: and appreciate the things that we have. And part of

1406
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 1: what I try to do with with with my family

1407
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: and my kids, especially as teach them to appreciate the

1408
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 1: food on the table, because I mean, you know, having

1409
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: been deployed to Afghanistan and was in Korea and really

1410
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: been all over the world during my time in the army,

1411
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: the other countries don't have the same things that we do.

1412
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: And while it's while you do appreciate other cultures and

1413
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 1: the time spent in those countries, for the most part,

1414
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:45,720
Speaker 1: it's always nice to come home and just be able to,

1415
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: like go to the grocery store and get every type

1416
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: of food you can possibly imagine and spread it all

1417
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: over the table and eat and then eat again, and

1418
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: then eat again right before you go to bed. I mean,

1419
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 1: it's just something that other countries don't have, and it's

1420
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: something that I think that our kids, especially the next generation,

1421
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 1: need to learn to appreciate real quick. Sean, before to

1422

Speaker 1: on the way stay with us. Background checks can be

1437
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: a sensitive situation. Usually you go through with them, they're fine, right,

1438
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 1: But what about those murkier cases. What about where there's

1439
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:07,720
Speaker 1: a red flag that comes up. You don't want your

1440
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 1: HR department to make any mistakes. You want them to

1441
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 1: have the information they need. That's why you need Global

1442
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:17,680
Speaker 1: Verification Network. Global Verification Network is the only dual certified

1451
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:43,839

Speaker 1: checks for employees. Go to MYGVN dot com. That's MYGVN

1453
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: dot com or call eight seven seven six nine five

1454
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: one one seven nine Global Verification Network. Leave no stone

1455
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 1: unturned this case. We have students that are not prepared

1456
01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: or not doing Also, we say perhaps we can solve

1457
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: the problem by capital or not capital letters. And it's

1458
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:09,639
Speaker 1: kind of like it's a depressing moment the entire life

1459
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: in academian. We used to think that British intellectual life

1460
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: was the hallmark of the Western world and that whatever

1461
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: mistakes we made, we could look toward Britain. This was

1462
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: TS Eliott and C. S. Lewis and the Regions professor

1463
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:24,639
Speaker 1: of Greek at Oxford. And to think that they've fallen

1464
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 1: into the same sad political correctness that we have is

1465
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 1: really depressing. Maybe too many people are going to college,

1466
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, you think that we're losing this generation in

1467
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 1: the West that is worried about capital letters. They're not

1468
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 1: having children, they're not getting married, they're not buying homes,

1469
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 1: they're prolonging their adolescence. And maybe it's they shouldn't be

1470
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 1: in university and they could be much better and noble

1471
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 1: professions like plumbing, electricity, that we really need trade schools.

1472
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 1: But something's gone wrong with the university and it's not

1473
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: just pernicious to the student, but it's starting to affect

1474
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 1: the entire society at aren't Victor Davis Hansen make making

1475
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:05,799
Speaker 1: a lot of sense? There? I would not Major Davis

1476
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: Hansen saying a lot of things that well, we've been

1477
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: noticing for a while here in the Freedom Hut. But

1478
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you this was a new one for me,

1479
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: the banning of capital letters. I had never come across

1480
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 1: this as a thing before. It turns out that at

1481
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 1: Leeds Trinity University, which I guess is in the UK,

1482
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:38,839
Speaker 1: they've been told in the journalism department to avoid capital letters,

1483
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:43,600
Speaker 1: and I just I don't that's usually ago, Okay, I

1484
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 1: know why they think this is offensive or that is offensive,

1485
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 1: but they think in the journalism department, remember, journalism is

1486
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: supposed to be about getting to truth. Journalism is supposed

1487
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: to be about the exchange and dissemination of ideas, and

1488
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:03,720
Speaker 1: in that department they think that that capital letters could

1489
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:09,639
Speaker 1: quote scare them into failure and instead suggesting using a

1490
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:14,679
Speaker 1: friendly tone and avoid the use of negative language in general.

1491
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,719
Speaker 1: I gotta say, if you're going to be a journalist

1492
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: who's worth reading, you're going to have to use a

1493
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:24,160
Speaker 1: very very negative toad on a lot of issues, and

1494
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:30,840
Speaker 1: certainly on the modern academy's view of creating a completely

1495
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: cloistered life of the mind, I mean creating this life

1496
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,680
Speaker 1: of the mind that doesn't have to deal with the

1497
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 1: trials and tribulations of being an adult who is engaging

1498
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:45,759
Speaker 1: with the world around him. This is the snowflake syndrome.

1499
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 1: And we know all about this, but this was a

1500
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:50,799
Speaker 1: new one for me. I've never heard of banning capital

1501
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:54,680
Speaker 1: banning capital letters before, and I just had to note that.

1502
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 1: Victor Davis Headson is like, what is going on? It's

1503
01:24:58,000 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 1: not just here in America. I don't know if we

1504
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 1: take comfort in that or if it should make us

1505
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:07,640
Speaker 1: even more scared. But it's not only in America that

1506
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 1: we have this. It's it's in broader Western society now,

1507
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 1: and and it just makes me think about how there

1508
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:17,640
Speaker 1: are these other countries where they don't they don't have

1509
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 1: this problem. You know, they're they're very sure of themselves.

1510
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 1: Maybe those countries and those cultures shouldn't be, but they're

1511
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:28,720
Speaker 1: not constantly being taught and teaching their next generation to

1512
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 1: undermine them, undermine themselves, you know, to think less of

1513
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 1: their abilities in the world, think less of their role

1514
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:38,840
Speaker 1: in the world. I found this New York Times piece

1515
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 1: speaking of all this really interesting on China and how

1516
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: China is influencing our culture American culture in one of

1517
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:50,800
Speaker 1: the most powerful ways that it can. Think about this

1518
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 1: for a moment. How many movies have you seen the

1519
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 1: last ten years where China are only near peer economic

1520
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 1: and military competitor. How many movies have you seen where

1521
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 1: China isn't even necessarily the bad guy but is depicted

1522
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 1: in an unflattering light. How many times have you seen

1523
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 1: a major Hollywood picture recently where China was, you know,

1524
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:22,240
Speaker 1: in any way being undermined, or you know, you talked

1525
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 1: about Chinese human rights issues things like that. Oh, there's

1526
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 1: a reason for that, and it's that the Chinese market

1527
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: is so large and so powerful that now they're making

1528
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 1: demands about how the American market depicts them. That's right,

1529
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 1: China is dictating to Hollywood how Hollywood will show Chinese

1530
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:49,519
Speaker 1: issues in movies. And I don't mean Chinese language movies.

1531
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't mean movies specifically about China. I mean blockbusters

1532
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:58,599
Speaker 1: like Mission Impossible series, movies, stuff like that. You'll start

1533
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 1: to look at the list here, or if you go

1534
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:03,040
Speaker 1: to this New York Times article and go, wow, China's

1535
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 1: involved in some very very big movies, and you know,

1536
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:09,720
Speaker 1: the most the most clear example of this is that

1537
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 1: in Red Dawn Wolverines in Red Dawn, which is about

1538
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 1: the Soviet and Cuban invasion of the United States. It's

1539
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 1: kind of a cult film. I mean a lot of

1540
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: you like book. It's amazing. I mean it's okay, it

1541
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,720
Speaker 1: has its moments. They made they did a remake of

1542
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:32,839
Speaker 1: it in twenty twelve, and Red Dawn remade was supposed

1543
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 1: to have the Chinese invading an American town. But guess what.

1544
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 1: MGM spent a million dollars digitally erasing evidence of the

1545
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 1: Chinese army in every single frame and substituted North Korea

1546
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,759
Speaker 1: for China. That's originally it was an invasion by China,

1547
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:56,719
Speaker 1: and then they changed it's that it was an invasion

1548
01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 1: by North Korea. And this was at the request of

1549
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:06,679
Speaker 1: the Chinese government slash Chinese market, meaning their box office.

1550
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 1: They even got rid of a character called the Ancient

1551
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 1: One from Marvel Comics, who was an elderly Tibetan man,

1552
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:17,080
Speaker 1: and replaced him in the Doctor Strange movie in twenty sixteen,

1553
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:22,640
Speaker 1: with the actress Tilda Swinton playing a Celtic version of

1554
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:26,360
Speaker 1: the Ancient One. So they turned a Tibetan into an Irishman,

1555
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 1: which probably was a surprise to fans of the comics,

1556
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 1: and the movie Seven Years in Tibet, for example, really

1557
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:40,920
Speaker 1: upset Hollywood so much so that Brad Pitt isn't welcome,

1558
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:44,559
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, upset China so much so that Brad Pitt

1559
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 1: isn't welcome in China now because he starred in that movie.

1560
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:52,880
Speaker 1: So they're involved in co financing more and more of

1561
01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 1: our own films. Now. Part of this is obviously an

1562
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:59,280
Speaker 1: economic incentive, but politics is downstream of culture and our

1563
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 1: perception of ourselves visa each China in the world are

1564
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 1: affected by the mass media depictions that we see. Oh

1565
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: it also explains why the movie Great Wall was made.

1566
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:12,600
Speaker 1: I told you that Matt Damon Great Wall movie was

1567
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:14,680
Speaker 1: so bad that I couldn't get through ten minutes of it.

1568
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 1: That was Chinese financed one hundred and fifty million dollar

1569
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:23,680
Speaker 1: China Hollywood coproduction, and it was a complete flop. I mean,

1570
01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 1: it was a true it was an unintentional disaster movie

1571
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:29,680
Speaker 1: as in the movie itself was a disaster. But you

1572
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 1: see these indicators, these early indicators right now, and there's

1573
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:36,920
Speaker 1: only one way this is going, and that is that

1574
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:40,240
Speaker 1: there's going to be a cultural and perception struggle that

1575
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 1: we have with China. And I just note that while

1576
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 1: we're being told don't use capital letters because it could

1577
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: scare us, and you know, we need to deal with

1578
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:51,639
Speaker 1: our history of colonialism and racism, China is being told

1579
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 1: your rightful place in the world is number one. All

1580
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 1: their kids, all their generations coming up, that's going to

1581
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:02,439
Speaker 1: have an effect. So Thanksgiving as a holiday, but is

1582
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 1: it non controversial? Is the notion of coming together with

1583
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:11,560
Speaker 1: friends and family to show our thanks for the blessings

1584
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:14,280
Speaker 1: and the good things in our lives? Is that something

1585
01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:16,680
Speaker 1: that we can all get behind? Or are there social

1586
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 1: justice warriors a little bit upset at the prospect of

1587
01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 1: this thing called Thanksgiving? Is there some basis upon which,

1588
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 1: or for which through which whatever the proper preposition is

1589
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 1: that they can express their outrage about Thanksgiving? And now

1590
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 1: was there something? Oh, that's right? There is a sense

1591
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 1: out there amongst some on the left that Thanksgiving is,

1592
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 1: in fact not just a day when we all eat

1593
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 1: too much. I think the average Thanksgiving feast comes in

1594
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:54,080
Speaker 1: at something like thirty two hundred calories. There's something just

1595
01:30:55,560 --> 01:31:00,360
Speaker 1: very gluttonous. Don't worry I'll top that. But is that?

1596
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:02,960
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's right. There's more than that, because Thanksgiving,

1597
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 1: according to some folks on the social justice left, is racist.

1598
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 1: The hosting event called thanks but no Thanksgiving. It's about

1599
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:16,640
Speaker 1: decolonizing all of it, about finding the racial problems and

1600
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:19,040
Speaker 1: the cultural problems with it. What do you think about that?

1601
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:24,800
Speaker 1: That's great? I mean, but like doesn't help natives, does it. Yeah,

1602
01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:30,479
Speaker 1: there's definitely a racial history or a racist history to Thanksgiving, Okay,

1603
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:35,759
Speaker 1: and that should probably definitely be addressed more um in education.

1604
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:41,200
Speaker 1: The whole concept of like taking land and assigning of

1605
01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 1: value to it through costs, just like it was different

1606
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 1: through European cultures. Oh, I mean, yeah, sure there are

1607
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:50,479
Speaker 1: racist aspects of its history that What would you find racist? Um,

1608
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 1: the fact that we're celebrating taking away land from natives? Okay, Okay,

1609
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 1: it's pretty racist. Well, it's just about like honestly, like,

1610
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm not super ucated on the topic, but I just

1611
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:04,800
Speaker 1: know that it has to do with the way that

1612
01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 1: the settlers kind of treated the the native the natives

1613
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:14,880
Speaker 1: who lived here. Now that audio comes to us from

1614
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:17,880
Speaker 1: Campus Reform, and they do this, right, they go around

1615
01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:22,240
Speaker 1: on college campuses and they ask people questions to illustrate

1616
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 1: prevailing attitudes among college kids, usually about political issues, but

1617
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 1: on this one Thanksgiving, and it goes on and on,

1618
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:31,880
Speaker 1: and to be fair, there are some young people they

1619
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 1: ask who go, well, you know, I really think it's

1620
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:36,439
Speaker 1: more about giving thanks and coming together as families, really

1621
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 1: not about racism or colonialism. But I also want to

1622
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 1: point out that, you know, for a lot of these

1623
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:47,200
Speaker 1: young folks, and myself and my peer group and really

1624
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 1: anyone included in this, sometimes it's it's I think too easy,

1625
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 1: and we can be too quick to point at them

1626
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:57,880
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, they're so ignorant, Look at them.

1627
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 1: They don't know anything about this, and so just saying

1628
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:03,240
Speaker 1: it's racist because they're so dumb, I mean, sometimes that's

1629
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 1: really warranted. But there's a component here that I can't

1630
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:09,000
Speaker 1: help but notice, and that is like, how many of

1631
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 1: us really know a detailed history of Thanksgiving off the

1632
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 1: top of our head. Very few, very few? In fact,

1633
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:17,439
Speaker 1: you know, we kind of know something about, you know,

1634
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:22,600
Speaker 1: the Pilgrims and Squanto and the natives, and there's some

1635
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 1: food exchange and there was maybe a tough harvest that

1636
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, we don't really get too into the details.

1637
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:32,519
Speaker 1: And I think that instead of viewing this all the

1638
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:35,000
Speaker 1: time as oh, look at these look at these kids

1639
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 1: who have been brainwashed, I also think it's look at

1640
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,559
Speaker 1: on a college campus, for example, look at the kind

1641
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:46,240
Speaker 1: of totalitarian left wing echo chamber that they all live in,

1642
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:52,679
Speaker 1: such that it's not strange and it's not even beyond

1643
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:57,240
Speaker 1: our comprehension why they would take this position. You know,

1644
01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:00,680
Speaker 1: if they have any doubt, say it's ray. And I

1645
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:02,960
Speaker 1: don't mean that because they think it's racist. I mean

1646
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 1: as a form of self preservation. That's where the culture

1647
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 1: is these days. You see what I mean. It's really

1648
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 1: about how if they don't immediately say well, you know,

1649
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:17,680
Speaker 1: you could always say oh, it's not racist, okay, and

1650
01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:21,280
Speaker 1: walk away from that. But if something is considered on

1651
01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 1: the left to be racist or full of oppression and

1652
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:29,680
Speaker 1: colonialism and white privilege and all these these terms and

1653
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:34,920
Speaker 1: ideas that the left doesn't just embrace but enforces them,

1654
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean that's the really key distinction. So as a

1655
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 1: as a safe bet, if you're on a college campus

1656
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:44,200
Speaker 1: and you're being asked about something and you know there's

1657
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:51,639
Speaker 1: some generally vaguely racial aspect to it, you might as

1658
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 1: well err on that side, right. So I have some

1659
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 1: sympathy for these college kids who don't know the history

1660
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 1: of Look, they should know, maybe a little more of

1661
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 1: the history of Thanksgiving they do. And some of them

1662
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:03,799
Speaker 1: are obviously ideologues who are oh my gosh, it's so racist.

1663
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:06,720
Speaker 1: But you've also got to leave open the possibility that

1664
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 1: there are some who just don't want to be accused

1665
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:12,759
Speaker 1: of being racist themselves, and so when they when something

1666
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:15,720
Speaker 1: comes up and it triggers that part of their mind

1667
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:18,679
Speaker 1: that goes, oh, I think that there's I'm being asked

1668
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 1: if this thing is racist. Maybe I should just be

1669
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:24,960
Speaker 1: safe and go, yeah, this is kind of racist. Yeah.

1670
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 1: On the one hand, it's funny and it's worth pointing out,

1671
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:28,760
Speaker 1: and that's why we're doing it. But there's also a

1672
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 1: part of me that wants everyone to understand at least

1673
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:34,960
Speaker 1: that that's not really a silly position for them to

1674
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:38,320
Speaker 1: take under the circumstances. Better to be the person who

1675
01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 1: goes along on a college campus and says, oh, yeah,

1676
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 1: that's racist, right than be the person who goes, no,

1677
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:46,800
Speaker 1: that's not racist and have everyone started yelling at you.

1678
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:50,720
Speaker 1: So I try to take different things from some of

1679
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:53,639
Speaker 1: these encounters that we see on the on the college campuses,

1680
01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 1: and that would be one of them. And yes, Thanksgivings

1681
01:35:57,160 --> 01:36:00,720
Speaker 1: about being thankful. So it's a pretty for holiday. A

1682
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 1: lot of people I know say it's their favorite holiday,

1683
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 1: which is interesting. I also maybe another time we'll talk

1684
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:09,799
Speaker 1: about how the Christian roots of Thanksgiving seem to often

1685
01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:15,320
Speaker 1: get lost in our contemporary culture. For another time, Roll

1686
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:26,479
Speaker 1: calls up. The show ain't over yet, folks. It's time

1687
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:30,880
Speaker 1: for Roll Call, our last roll call before Thanksgiving. Team Man,

1688
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 1: how the time does fly? I'm looking forward to it.

1689
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm heading up to New York City to be with

1690
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:40,760
Speaker 1: the fam, be with my family up there. I have

1691
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:43,760
Speaker 1: two brothers who have birthdays this week, So Mason Man

1692
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 1: if you're listening, also known as Mason, my older brother,

1693
01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 1: happy Happy Birthday in advance because I won't be on

1694
01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:52,200
Speaker 1: air for your birthday or the greatest big brother guy

1695
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:55,360
Speaker 1: I could ever ask for. And I'm gonna be celebrating

1696
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:57,640
Speaker 1: with both my brothers, Mason and Keats this weekend in

1697
01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:00,839
Speaker 1: New York. Mom is going to be cooking a fantastic turkey.

1698
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:04,800
Speaker 1: She's incredible with her her turkey cooking skills. So I'm

1699
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:07,320
Speaker 1: really looking forward to that. And you know, my only

1700
01:37:07,360 --> 01:37:10,800
Speaker 1: thing is I feel like sometimes I want to mix

1701
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:15,880
Speaker 1: the sweet potatoes and the mashed potatoes. And the thing

1702
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:18,960
Speaker 1: about that is they're good on their own. I don't

1703
01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:20,600
Speaker 1: know if they're really good mixed together. They get a

1704
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:23,560
Speaker 1: little accidentally mixed up. But do I want to intentionally

1705
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:26,879
Speaker 1: mix sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes? These are the questions

1706
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 1: that keep me up at night. The good news is

1707
01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 1: there's no arguing about politics in my family because everyone

1708
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:34,879
Speaker 1: in my family is a sane, well read, and thoughtful patriot.

1709
01:37:35,240 --> 01:37:37,719
Speaker 1: So we don't have to worry about that. That's nice,

1710
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:41,840
Speaker 1: isn't it. At least everyone of my immediate family falls

1711
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:46,320
Speaker 1: into those those categories. So we have Oh, I put

1712
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:48,240
Speaker 1: up a poll on Facebook, by the way, the best

1713
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:55,160
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving side dish, sweet potatoes or stuffing? I have? I

1714
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:57,640
Speaker 1: don't know, a thousand votes so far. We'll see what

1715
01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:01,320
Speaker 1: ends up. We'll see what the total total is when

1716
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 1: it when it comes in. Now, I said, roll call,

1717
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:08,479
Speaker 1: So let's do the roll call. Hold on, where where

1718
01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: did it go? Here we go? We have If Marie writes,

1719
01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:16,920
Speaker 1: if dressing had been an option, I would have chosen

1720
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 1: that I do not like stuffing but love dressing. Isn't

1721
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 1: that just another word for stuffing? Mark writes smashed potatoes

1722
01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:29,840
Speaker 1: and gravy. Yeah, I can't argue with potatoes are fantastic.

1723
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:38,680
Speaker 1: Jeff writes green bean casserole. Josh writes stuffing is trash.

1724
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 1: In the South, we eat dressing, and dressing is not

1725
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:45,280
Speaker 1: a side. So a dressing is what you call stuffing

1726
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:47,920
Speaker 1: in the South. I did I did not know this.

1727
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:53,360
Speaker 1: I was not aware of this. Joshua writes, cornbread dressing

1728
01:38:53,400 --> 01:39:00,800
Speaker 1: buck okay. Jerry writes, you misspelled whiskey in the second box, Nates. Now,

1729
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:05,120
Speaker 1: if you would have said mashed potatoes, Jeremy, right, sweet

1730
01:39:05,120 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 1: potatoes belong in the trash can Jeremy, they do not.

1731
01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:14,040
Speaker 1: They belong in my belly. Mashed potatoes. I see here

1732
01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 1: another mashed potatoes. James wrote, Romaine let us salad. Now,

1733
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,800
Speaker 1: James trying to be funny because right now there is

1734
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 1: a warning out there for folks to not eat romaine.

1735
01:39:24,479 --> 01:39:27,240
Speaker 1: You are not supposed to eat romaine lettuce. It is

1736
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:30,519
Speaker 1: considered a no no because of the possibility of E.

1737
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:36,960
Speaker 1: Coli contamination out there, So avoid romaine. But really, what

1738
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,639
Speaker 1: this is is a public service announcement telling you all

1739
01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:46,720
Speaker 1: that salad is dangerous. Let's see, Scarlet, right, who are

1740
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:50,759
Speaker 1: these pagans that like stuffing better than yummy buttery, brown

1741
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:57,440
Speaker 1: sugary cinnamony, sweet taters, barbarians, the whole lot of you? Well, Scarlet,

1742
01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:02,160
Speaker 1: I don't have the same reaction to this that you do,

1743
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 1: but I like that you're you're getting fired up about it,

1744
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:07,040
Speaker 1: a lot of you telling me that it's called dressing

1745
01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 1: and not stuffing. I did not know that green bean

1746
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 1: casserole gets a bunch of votes in here too. Green

1747
01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 1: bean casserole. Really, I don't know, Carrie says the roles.

1748
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 1: I know the hot rolls are nice, but if you've

1749
01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:24,160
Speaker 1: got Celiac disease like me, you tend not to have

1750
01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,080
Speaker 1: a lot of roles. All right, now, I'll get into them.

1751
01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:29,040
Speaker 1: That was all on the poll people given their comments there.

1752
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:32,000
Speaker 1: Now we'll get into the more traditional side of pre

1753
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving role called Rob writes, turkey wrapped in bacon, pickle

1754
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:40,599
Speaker 1: on the side. Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for your insight.

1755
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:43,479
Speaker 1: You are chosen for this time. Rob. Well, Rob, you

1756
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 1: are very kind man, and thank you for writing in.

1757

Speaker 1: And I have to say Happy Thanksgiving to you as well,

1758
01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 1: Timothy Right, Buck Shields High. Thanks for reading my comments

1759
01:40:56,160 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 1: about pickles on hamburgers. Let us agree to dis agree,

1760
01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 1: and Romaine calm. Since I am a Polish Jew from Michigan,

1761
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 1: I put pickles on everything now. As for Thanksgiving, I

1762
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:13,479
Speaker 1: thank God daily that Hillary Clinton is not president. Regarding

1763
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:16,360
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner sides, I'll put my wife's sweep potato casserole

1764
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:22,200
Speaker 1: up against anything anytime, anywhere, oatmeal, honey, eggs, brown sugar, marshmallows,

1765
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. You and miss Molly have a

1766
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 1: wonderful Thanksgiving. Shields High, Timothy, Well, Timothy, thank you. And

1767
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 1: I've got to say I am a sweet potato fan

1768
01:41:32,479 --> 01:41:36,439
Speaker 1: in general, so I can't disagree. Can't disagree with you there,

1769
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:39,720
Speaker 1: Ken Right. What's the name of your new show with

1770
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 1: a liberal co host? I can't seem to find it. Well,

1771
01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 1: Ken the new show, it's about six months old now,

Speaker 1: is called Rising, And if you want to watch it,

1773
01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:52,240
Speaker 1: it's a TV show on the web. If you want

1774
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:56,360
Speaker 1: to watch it, it is at hill dot tv slash

1775
01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:58,960
Speaker 1: Rising on the Internet. That's the easiest way to go

1776
01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:02,840
Speaker 1: check it out and my liberal co host name is

1777
01:42:02,880 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 1: Crystal Ball. That is, in fact her name. Her name

1778
01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:12,599
Speaker 1: is Crystal Ball. John writes, Hey Buck podcast listener here.

1779
01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:15,679
Speaker 1: I love your show, but I must challenge on one thing.

1780
01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:19,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned that we have been reducing carbon emissions globally,

1781
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:20,759
Speaker 1: and one of the things you mentioned was that contributing

1782
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 1: to decline was not burning wood. I supplement my propane

1783
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:27,639
Speaker 1: furnace heat with a wood stove. Would heat is carbon neutral.

1784
01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 1: That is, through the lifetime of a tree, it absorbs

1785
01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 1: carbon and produces oxygen. Whether it rots on the ground

1786
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:35,479
Speaker 1: or burns in my stove, it releases the same amount

1787
01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:38,320
Speaker 1: of carbon in the atmosphere, whereas burning coal, propane, or

1788
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:42,080
Speaker 1: natural gas releases carbon. That was one sequester below the

1789
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 1: ground shield tige from John. John, you may be correct

1790
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:49,200
Speaker 1: on this one. I was trying to say that in

1791
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 1: terms of the fuel sources we use, we're certainly more

1792
01:42:53,160 --> 01:43:00,640
Speaker 1: it's certainly more efficient and less carbon intensive in the

1793
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:02,800
Speaker 1: when you burn it off. I mean, let's CO two

1794
01:43:02,840 --> 01:43:04,640
Speaker 1: in the air. Keep in mind, I don't think that

1795
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 1: CO two emissions are a problem. So that's also a

1796
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:11,599
Speaker 1: whole other thing as to how you would gauge carbon

1797
01:43:11,960 --> 01:43:15,880
Speaker 1: over the life of of what is over a tree

1798
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 1: versus when it's burnt. I don't know. I've never heard

1799
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:22,600
Speaker 1: that argue before. It's interesting. Thank you for thank you

1800
01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 1: for writing in and telling me something I didn't know.

1801
01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:27,880
Speaker 1: Larry writes, Hey, Buck, I don't know if you agree

1802
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:30,760
Speaker 1: to go along with the traditional turkey trappings on Thanksgiving

Speaker 1: to all of you listening. Thank you. You know. One

1811
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:58,599
Speaker 1: thing I will say is I am thankful each year

1812
01:43:58,720 --> 01:44:01,240

Speaker 1: support this whole endeavor of the Buck Sexton Show and

1815
01:44:09,120 --> 01:44:11,519
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hut is those of us who are a

1816
01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 1: part of it call it. It really does mean a lot.

1817
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:16,200
Speaker 1: I feel blessed to be able to do this job.

1818
01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:18,439
Speaker 1: Every time that I can come up to this mic

1819
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:21,519
Speaker 1: and say what I want to say to all of

1820
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:25,000
Speaker 1: you and interact with all of you. I'm very, very lucky,

1821

Speaker 1: and I never forget it. And I appreciate all the

1822
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:29,920
Speaker 1: time that you give me, every one of you who

1823
01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:34,480
Speaker 1: listens on radio, on a live stream, or via podcast.

1824
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:39,439
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for all of you. So you are very

1825
01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:42,960
Speaker 1: much appreciated. And the time you spend with me means

1826
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:44,640
Speaker 1: a lot, and it's why I try to put as

1827
01:44:44,720 --> 01:44:46,800
Speaker 1: much as I can into the show, to make it

1828
01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:49,799
Speaker 1: as informative and as worthwhile and entertaining as I possibly

1829
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 1: can every single day. Richard all Right. Season three of

1830
01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:59,679
Speaker 1: The Last Kingdom just dropped on Netflix. Excellent. Well, Richard,

1831
01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:01,519
Speaker 1: I got I tell you, that is pretty exciting. I

1832
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 1: did not know that season three was even in the

1833
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 1: works for The Last Kingdom, and I really love the

1834
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:12,439
Speaker 1: first season of that show. I thought the second season

1835
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:15,280
Speaker 1: was not quite as good as the first, but I

1836
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:18,280
Speaker 1: did enjoy it, so I'm excited. I've got a pretty

1837
01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 1: stacked queue right now. I've got kind of an embarrassment

1838
01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:26,160
Speaker 1: of Netflix and Hulu and HBO. Go riches. I'm gonna

1839
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:30,200
Speaker 1: watch Narcos season four, the season it takes place in Mexico.

1840
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 1: That's definitely on my media list. I gotta finish up

1841
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 1: Peaky Blinders. Really enjoying that series, by the way, I

1842
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 1: think it's great. I didn't really like The Haunting of Hillhouse.

1843
01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was a little sanctimonious, a little boring,

1844
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:47,840
Speaker 1: a little slow, and I just don't think you can

1845
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 1: have a movie that's that scary where there's really no

1846
01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 1: threat of anything bad happening to anybody. It's just like,

1847
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:56,800
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I saw a ghost. I mean, if

1848
01:45:56,800 --> 01:46:00,760
Speaker 1: the ghost isn't making people disappear or pushing people out

1849
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:03,360
Speaker 1: of windows or doing scary stuff like that, bo, it

1850
01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:06,439
Speaker 1: looks like a ghost just called me there. Scary stuff.

1851
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:10,040
Speaker 1: But no, if you don't have any imminent threat from

1852
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:13,240
Speaker 1: the evil spirits or monsters or whatever, I just think

1853
01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:15,559
Speaker 1: it's not that it's just not that scary. At The

1854
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 1: Haunting a Hill House, I cannot recommend. I thought it

1855
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:21,000
Speaker 1: was boring. I might go and watch American Horror Story.

1856
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:23,800
Speaker 1: I've been told that that's really good does a really

1857
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:25,960
Speaker 1: really good job, so I might. I might be willing

1858
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:29,080
Speaker 1: to go check that one out, but I will have

1859
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:31,880
Speaker 1: to see what I also have a lot of work

1860
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,720
Speaker 1: to do over the weekend, so I can't say that

1861
01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to get through all that much. But I've

1862
01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 1: got some plants, Jason. Jason writes, Buck, you said nuts

1863
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:46,720
Speaker 1: have no place in brownies, and I agree. But what

1864
01:46:46,880 --> 01:46:48,720
Speaker 1: makes a brownie go from good to the best you

1865
01:46:48,800 --> 01:46:52,240
Speaker 1: ever had are Reese's peanut butter cups, and Jason sent

1866
01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:56,000
Speaker 1: a photo of the brownies that he makes with Reese's

1867
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:59,280
Speaker 1: peanut butter cups in them. I, Jason, I think you

1868
01:46:59,360 --> 01:47:02,760
Speaker 1: might be honest something here. My friend Riese's peanut buttercups

1869
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:07,760
Speaker 1: are incredible, and I think that there's a I think

1870
01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:10,639
Speaker 1: that you're on a something all right, team, have a

1871
01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:13,760
Speaker 1: very happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy if you've got some time off,

1872
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:16,599
Speaker 1: Enjoy time with friends and loved ones. Eat a lot

1873
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:20,080
Speaker 1: of delicious food. We are back into the breach together

1874
01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:22,080
Speaker 1: next week. Shields Hie
