WEBVTT - Trump Feuds With The 9th 'Circus'

0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the Freedom Hunt. We've got a Thanksgiving

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Eve extravaganza plan for you, my friends in the Freedom

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Hut today, including Trump's latest feud with the Ninth Circuit,

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the allegation that he actually wanted to have Hillary prosecuted

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>for breaking the law when it comes to her emails.

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.559
<v Speaker 1>We've got updates on the caravan crisis, and some pre

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving thoughts coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. This

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>is the Buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:46.599
<v Speaker 1>is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>no mistake American, You're a great American Again, The Buck

0:00:50.479 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Sexton Show begins hut on, Well, you go to the

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Ninth Circuit and it's a disgrace. And I'm going to

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>put in a major complaint because you cannot win if

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you're us a case in the Ninth Circuit. And I

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's a disgrace when people file every case gets

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.199
<v Speaker 1>filed in the Ninth Circuit because they know that's not law,

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>that's not what this country stands for. Every case that

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>gets filed in the Ninth Circuit, we get beaten and

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.839
<v Speaker 1>then we end up having to go to the Supreme Court.

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Like the travel ban, and we won. This was an

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Obama judge. And I'll tell you what, It's not gonna

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>happen like this anymore. Everybody that wants to sue the

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>United States, they file their case in almost they file

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>their case in the Ninth Circuit. And it means in

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>automatic laws, no matter what you do, no matter how

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>good your case is. And the Ninth Circuit is really

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>something we have to take a look at. Welcome the

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton show. Trump criticizing the Judiciary Public League. Oh my,

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>all the all clutching now from across the media spectrum,

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>how could he? Oh no, nothing, judges too. You're going

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>to hear a lot of how he's undermining our institutions.

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>This from people who, as we'll talk about later in

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the program, are still acting like there were stolen elections

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.959
<v Speaker 1>where Republicans won, and they have no evidence they were stolen,

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>but they're still gonna say they're stolen because that doesn't

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>undermine our elections. Someone needs to explain that one to me.

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 1>This from people who claim that Marco Rubio and others

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>who were merely pointing out that in Florida there were

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>election irregularities, there were failures of the people in charge

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>of the elections in Broward County, in Palm Beach County.

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>That just doesn't that doesn't count. In fact, to bring

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>it up was to be doing Putin's work, according to media,

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 1>because they didn't. They didn't want too much light to

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>be shown on the situation. There. Maybe find some Democrats

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>doing some shady stuff. Wouldn't be the first time, certainly

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>not give the last either. But this is a very

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>important debate. Actually at the national level. There's a lot

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that we need to look at here, a lot to unpack,

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's been elevated a little bit because Chief Justice

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>of the Supreme Court, John Roberts has gone after the

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>president a little bit. As a result of this. He

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>released a state Marie. He said, quote, we do not

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges, or Clinton judges.

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>doing their level best to do equal right to those

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>all be thankful for. I think Justice Roberts is wrong.

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it's obvious that he's wrong. I think that

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>he probably knows that he's wrong, but he believes that

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>this is one of those lies that for the for

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.839
<v Speaker 1>the good of society, we all have to tell each other.

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Are there left wing judges? This is a very straightforward question.

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Are there left wing judges that have an entirely different

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>interpretation of what the Constitution says and also just an

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>entire different approach to how one interprets the Constitution? The

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>answers yes, and anyone who says otherwise would have to explain.

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>How is it that I always know how Ruth Bader

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Ginsburg is going to rule on a major issue. I

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>always know. I always know how Sonya Soda my oer

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>is going to rule on a major Keep in mind,

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>by the time it's gotten up to the Supreme Court,

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>there's been back and forth in courts, often different judges,

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 1>different opinions. But I always know how the Libs on

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the Court are going to vote. I always know how

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>they're going to come down with. You know, exceptions on

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>certain issues that are not as hot button for Libs.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know, if it's affirmative action, I know, Sodomer

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>is going to go to the mat for that. You know,

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>if it's abortion, I know, and Ginsburg is going to

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>do everything she can to continue to prop up that

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>fake constitutional right. So this is just I wish we

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>could speak to each other like adults. Why did we

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the left wing completely lose their mind over Kavanaugh over

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the summer engage in the worst, most disgraceful character assassination

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>on national TV I have ever seen in my life.

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Because there's no such things as Obama judges or Trump judges.

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 1>There's just judges. Please don't speak to us like we're idiots, Roberts.

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>This is also why I've been saying all along, the

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.119
<v Speaker 1>court is not nearly as conservative as many people pretend

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>that it is. Roberts isn't isn't really a conservative. He's

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>an institutionalist, So that means that some of his some

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.359
<v Speaker 1>of his inclinations will line up with conservatism. I think personally,

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>ideologically he may be somewhat conservative. He does seem conservative,

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.919
<v Speaker 1>but in terms of his view of the judiciary, he

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>is very much He's kind of like a journalist at

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>this point who believes that journalists don't have a bias.

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 1>That's a nice ideal, that's a nice position to espouse

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and to It's a nice hope. It's not rooted in reality, though.

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 1>What Trump is saying is rooted in the reality, and

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>we the American people, we need to understand this that

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:26.039
<v Speaker 1>judges are now in politicized roles. I wish it weren't

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the case. The Left has done this. They're the ones

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>that have the living Constitution, and they're the ones that

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>have this open ended view of jurisprudence that means that

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 1>social justice overrides the will of the founders, judicial precedent,

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:46.599
<v Speaker 1>and the plain language meaning of written law. Words aren't words,

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>words are whatever the Left says they are. They've been

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>doing this for decades. It's how they've gotten some of

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the biggest victories handed to them by the Supreme Court.

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And that's why when Trump responded to Chief Justice Roberts,

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I entirely agree with Trump's sentiment. Here he says, sorry,

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Chief Justice Roberts, but you do indeed have Obama judges,

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and they have a much different point of view than

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the people who are charged with the safety of our country.

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 1>It would be great if the Ninth Circuit. This was

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 1>all on Twitter from our president. It would be great

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>if the Ninth Circuit was indeed an independent judiciary. But

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>if it is, why are there's so many opposing views

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>on border and safety cases filed there, and why are

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers.

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 1>They are shocking. We need protection and security. These rulings

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>make our country unsafe, very dangerous, and unwise. Exclamation point.

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump is right, Trump is right here. John Roberts is wrong.

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we need to beat around the bush.

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I think we can just say it. Trump has apparently

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>a more if not sophisticated, more realistic understanding of what

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>the judiciary and the judic branch overall has become. It's

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>now a political battleground on political issues. I mean on

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>issues of interpretation, things about you know, you know processes,

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, criminal procedure and things. Yeah, I mean you

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>can get into some more specific stuff where there's not

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 1>really an ideological inflection point. It's not dictated by people's

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>overall political ideological framework. And you know, the points of

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>law that are arcade and you know, we need a

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 1>bunch of legal scholars to figure out, well, what's fine

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 1>on the big issues. On the important issues, the court

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>is politicized. And one of the problems we run up

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 1>against is that a conservative jurisprudence does mean that people

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 1>get a fair hearing before the judge. A conservative jurisprudence

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 1>in the contemporary context is the law is the law,

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to try to apply the law without favoritism,

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>without idea logical proclivity entering into this. And you know,

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>essentially conservative judges do what Robert says all judges do.

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Liberal judges look at the law and they go, Okay, well,

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>what do I think the what do I think the

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>outcome here needs to be? And then they reverse engineer

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>from that the decision they come up with. That's that

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 1>tells you really what the difference is. And that's why

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>there's this frustration on the right with well, our you know,

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>our side, our judges, so to speak. You know. And

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>by the way, just because you're appointed by it, let

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 1>me Bush appointed, uh what was it? I think suitor

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 1>was a Bush appointed? I mean, George H. W. Bush

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 1>had some terrible judges that he appointed. Reagan might have

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.959
<v Speaker 1>even I mean, I mean it was either George H. W.

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Reagan Reagan appointed a you know some I got to

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.200
<v Speaker 1>look back at the list of Supreme Court appointees. Make

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>sure I'm not community any I mean, I'm right, I'm

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 1>just I might be on this specific picks off the

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>top of my head. Republican here, here's what I can

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>tell you for sure, there have been Republican presidents who

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:10.679
<v Speaker 1>have appointed very bad, very left wing judges to the

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court. That has happened, and it never happens. On

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the other side. You find me a Scalia or a

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Thomas that was appointed by Barack Obama, by Jimmy Carter,

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 1>by Bill Clinton, and doesn't happen. They always get They

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.559
<v Speaker 1>always get what they're going for, which is somebody who's

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.679
<v Speaker 1>going to pursue liberal policies for them. And this is

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be a big issue going forward because the Democrats,

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>there's no legislation that's going to happen for the next

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>two years. Really, you're just going to have political fights

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>in Congress and the executive branch battling with the courts,

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and courts may have to weigh in here pretty soon

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>on some aspects of the Muller probe. They may have

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>to weigh in on some of these congressional hearings. And

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 1>you know what if the Democrats force a constant they

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.440
<v Speaker 1>keep talking about a constitutional crisis, well, a real constitutional

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>crisis is going to be what if Democrats just think

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:13.319
<v Speaker 1>that they're gonna subpoena the Trump administration into submission. You

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>know what if Democrats in the House decide that they're

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 1>just going to start calling senior members of the Trump

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:23.439
<v Speaker 1>administration before them for all their crazy fever swamp inspired

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:28.680
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theories, do they get to just weaponize that process

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>without any with without any pushback from the executive branch.

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's where we're heading. That's what I think

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>you're you're going to see. So, I mean, I agree

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>with Trump, and I think that Roberts, you know, is

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 1>fighting a losing battle here to try to make us

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 1>all believe that the judiciary is still this you know

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 1>organization that or you know this really this brotherhood and

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 1>sisterhood that has that acts apart from political considerations. It's

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>just false. It's not the case. And I and I

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>know that. People say, oh my gosh, Trump, you know,

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.960
<v Speaker 1>he's undermining the judiciary by doing this, and he's undermining

0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>our democratic norms. And they say all this it's the

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.959
<v Speaker 1>same talking points all the time. It's all boring. It's

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 1>annoyance what they do when I come at this and

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I say, can't we can't we start from position of

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 1>honesty about the judicial system that we have and the

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>way that it is trending and how judges are often acting.

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Can't we do that? Do we have to speak to

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 1>each other like we're like we're frightened children and can't

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 1>handle the truth. I know I had to go there.

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 1>But that's what we're doing right now. That's what's happening here.

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think Trump is doing us all a

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>service by at least forcing this conversation out into the

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 1>light of day and get a better discussion going over this.

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 1>But there's also the issue that came out of the

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>New York Times at a piece some others about what

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>what Trump may or may not have said with regard

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.320
<v Speaker 1>to Hillary and the emails and all that. So, oh,

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>we've got some of that coming your way. Mueller Probe

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>updates the caravan crisis at our border, the crisis they

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.320
<v Speaker 1>said wasn't going to happen. Oh, it looks like it's happening.

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 1>We also got Sean Parnell joining to talk about how

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 1>does Howard's Trump dohm with the military, at least on

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.959
<v Speaker 1>in terms of perception and optics and some of the

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.319
<v Speaker 1>stuff recently, you know, he hasn't visited the military in

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:31.359
<v Speaker 1>the war zone. You're here in this this constant criticism

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 1>of the president on that issue. You know, to folks,

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the military care as sean about that and some other stuff.

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:41.080
<v Speaker 1>So we've got a fantastic text Thanksgiving Eve show planned

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>for your enjoyment and entertainment, So stay with us. This

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>is what happens in authoritarian countries. The president orders the president,

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the leader orders the investigation and prosecution of his political enemies.

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's prima facia evidence of abusive power. This

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely Donald Trump is basically running his office like

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.200
<v Speaker 1>he's ahead of a banana republic. I think this is

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.079
<v Speaker 1>a scandal at a fifteen on a one to ten level.

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>He was essentially trying to use the apparatus of the

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 1>state to punish his political enemies. So this is another

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 1>another story out of the he did even true files.

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 1>But they're saying the big, big New York Times, A

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 1>big New York Times piece yesterday from Maggie Habermann and

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Schmidt over the New York Times is that President Trump

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 1>told the White House Council last spring that he wanted

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the Justice Department to prosecute Hillary Clinton and former FBI

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Director James Comey, according to two people who are familiar

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>with the conversation. Now this then starts all the usual stuff.

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh he's authoritarian, Oh he's he's a despot, he's a dictator.

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Notice how this stuff never happens. We always we always

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 1>get the Trump wanted to do this authoritarian thing, where

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Trump wanted to do this monarchical thing, but he never

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>does it. When I ask what is the what is

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the dictatorial thing that Trump has done? They go, he

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 1>pulled the cost Us press pass. That's not that doesn't count.

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 1>That's not enough. Sorry. Instead they say, oh, well Trump

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>said this thing one time to someone that won't be named.

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>That sounded like he wanted to be a dictator, but

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>he's really not going to do it. A lot of

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 1>those stories, well, I would note that to be a

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 1>dictator you have to actually do stuff that's bad. You don't.

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>You can't just be saying things behind closed doors that

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 1>make some people uncomfortable and take no actions based on them.

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean to actually be in the dictator club. Right,

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a little more involved than just you know, hears

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 1>say about conversations happened a long time ago. But let's

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.480
<v Speaker 1>take a look for a second at the Hillary Clinton

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 1>side of this for a moment. And this this also

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>is an important time to have this discussion, because we're

0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>being told, oh, the judiciary is not political, and James Comey,

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>who we were being told until very recently not political.

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>We were lied to about that Comy is an anti

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Trump hack. He has been all along. He's also a comyus.

0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>So he was willing to suck up to the President

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>when he thought he could keep his FBI job. But

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 1>he's an anti Trump hack and he bailed Hillary Clinton out.

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 1>He bailed the Democrats out and engaged in improper behavior

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 1>to do it. So you know, I'm not somebody who

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>thinks that the truth should be hidden from the public

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>about judges or about the senior reaches, the senior most

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>echelon of the FBI. And they essentially saved Hillary Clinton's

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 1>chances for the presidency at least. And now we're being

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 1>told that the real problem is that Trump has a

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 1>problem with that, that Trump thinks it's unacceptable that they,

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 1>for obviously political purposes, bailed Hillary out for obviously political reasons,

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 1>they decided that the law didn't really apply when it

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 1>comes to Hillary Clinton. You know the journalists just that

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>they have curiosity about things that support their narrative, they

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.919
<v Speaker 1>have no interest in things that don't. And then they

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 1>turn around and look at you and me and say,

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, why don't you trust us more? Maybe because

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.840
<v Speaker 1>they're not trustworthy? Has that ever occurred to them? Has

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.200
<v Speaker 1>that thought ever been there? Perhaps that we are just

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 1>paying attention. And that's why we like when Trump refers

0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 1>them as fake news. And that's why I say that

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:38.160
<v Speaker 1>they are the enemy of truth, which they most certainly are.

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Did Trump want to prosecute Hillary? I don't know. Should

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Hillary have been prosecuted? Abs so frigging lutely, How about

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the media focus on that for about five seconds. That

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:56.360
<v Speaker 1>would be a bit of balance, don't you think the arrogance,

0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the incredible arrogance, as with a little measuristidity. It's possible

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 1>that Jesus considered a princess and totally separate from the

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.640
<v Speaker 1>rest of the rules that the American government and the

0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:11.640
<v Speaker 1>president's cabinet and advisers would go by. When the new

0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Congress get sworn in the House Oversight Committee, they need

0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.679
<v Speaker 1>to seek nothing less of Ivanka Trump and her lawyers

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.479
<v Speaker 1>She really are in my family. They basically took what

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 1>they were doing in the business, the Trump Organization, and

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.360
<v Speaker 1>brought it to the White House and didn't care at

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.680
<v Speaker 1>all with what the rules were and what they can

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and cannot do. This is the Ivanka email scandal that

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.879
<v Speaker 1>wasn't my friends, you've you've been hearing it from me.

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be very consistent on this issue. Trust me.

0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 1>This is a giant nothingburger a vec fromage. This is

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:58.200
<v Speaker 1>just a total waste of everyone's time. But they they

0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>are giving the left wing base what they want, uh

0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and and it also gives them an opportunity to really

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 1>go after Ivanka, which which they want to do, which

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.880
<v Speaker 1>they really that's the plan. I mean, I see piece here,

0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a piece here, Ivanka. Um. You know, Ivanka Trump ignores

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 1>rules because she doesn't treat the White House as a

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 1>real job. You know that's They're gonna just pile on

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.200
<v Speaker 1>now and go after Ivanka. And I think so funny

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:33.399
<v Speaker 1>is Ivanka is from what most people would tell you,

0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 1>a liberal folks. Okay, so they have a very senior

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:41.640
<v Speaker 1>advisor in the White House who is sympathetic to their

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 1>aims and sympathetic to their ideology. But they're just gonna

0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:49.640
<v Speaker 1>trash her anyway because she's Trump's daughter and because she's

0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 1>tied to Trump. Now I cannot defend and I will

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:58.639
<v Speaker 1>not defend the nepotism that has involved here. And for

0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:01.359
<v Speaker 1>those of you who are gonna say to me, oh

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 1>but buck, you know whatever you'd say, let me just

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.480
<v Speaker 1>tell you this. Just wait until there's a Democrat who

0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:12.639
<v Speaker 1>makes his or her son or daughter like the you know,

0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.840
<v Speaker 1>chief of staff of the White House, and conservatives and

0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the right we're gonna sit there and say nothing. We're

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna say nothing. Well, let's let's understand we have principles

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.199
<v Speaker 1>the other side doesn't. And it's now been established. You

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 1>can take your kids and make them senior advisors in

0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.879
<v Speaker 1>the White House, give them big government jobs with a

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of power and a lot of authority. We're gonna

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 1>have to live with the consequences of that. There's there's

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.399
<v Speaker 1>just no way around it. I let's just be honest

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:42.359
<v Speaker 1>about that. So that all said, I think it's interesting

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:46.399
<v Speaker 1>that Ivanka is a target for so much hatred and

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the left, considering that she's really just working on issues

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:56.679
<v Speaker 1>that are generally in the bipartisan realm of jobs and

0:20:56.760 --> 0:21:01.200
<v Speaker 1>women and women in employment, women CEOs, entreprene nerves, trying

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to push trying to push for criminal justice reform along

0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 1>with Jared. I mean, Jared's also not particularly conservative, right,

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:12.159
<v Speaker 1>So you've got two liberals that are very senior advisor

0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 1>not maybe not liberals, but at least center left that

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 1>are senior advisors in this White House, and the left

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and the left still hates them, just hates them, cannot

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 1>stand them. And it's because they're tied to Trump. But

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 1>they on the email, I mean, this is just there's

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 1>nothing here, folks. The emails all exist, they've all been

0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:36.439
<v Speaker 1>recorded or lawyers already talked about this. This has been

0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.399
<v Speaker 1>out there for a little while. They known about this.

0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:42.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, this was a it's a rookie mistake. It's

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 1>a rookie mistake, but it wasn't. The difference between you know,

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>classified email and just using email that is personal is

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 1>night and day, call me use some personal email for

0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:59.679
<v Speaker 1>his professional business of the FBI. I mean, lots of

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.399
<v Speaker 1>people did this. Lots of people have done this. It

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:04.800
<v Speaker 1>just happens. I have a phone right now in my

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 1>hand where I've got multiple email accounts, and you know,

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.520
<v Speaker 1>if I'm responding quickly, I might not pay attention to

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 1>which email account I'm responding from. That's just that's a normal,

0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:18.000
<v Speaker 1>everyday mistake. This is all just about record keeping too.

0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:22.160
<v Speaker 1>There's there's no undue influence, there's no corruption. The records

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:25.920
<v Speaker 1>were kept. It's not that big a deal. But they're

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to make it a huge deal. And and you know,

0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate there was some other conservatives people were a

0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 1>little weak on this. Yesterday, I thought I was a

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:36.920
<v Speaker 1>little surprised. Look around, people say, oh, she made such

0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 1>a mistake. Like, no, it's not such a mistake. It's minor.

0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:45.400
<v Speaker 1>It's just that they've blown this completely out of proportion

0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:49.120
<v Speaker 1>because it involves somebody in Trump's family. And the ultimate

0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 1>goal here, now I really believe this. The left is

0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:57.880
<v Speaker 1>they realized that going after Trump. Trump's such a fighter.

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.119
<v Speaker 1>They realized that by going after him, you know, he's

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.400
<v Speaker 1>just going to roll up his sleeves, crack his knuckles

0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and say bring it. But if they can, if they

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:11.760
<v Speaker 1>can really damage his kids, that's I think the plan

0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:16.520
<v Speaker 1>they want to. They want to ruin his family, you know,

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:19.160
<v Speaker 1>they want to put his and especially his kids, because

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 1>they look the First Lady, there's still she has a

0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:26.199
<v Speaker 1>little bit of protection because we at least culturally. I mean,

0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying there's nicetories. They were to Michelle. Obama's

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:31.959
<v Speaker 1>so amazing, right, please don't. I'm gonna throw up. But

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the First Lady is is on a little bit of

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:40.880
<v Speaker 1>a separate, separate area because that's not as a government

0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 1>position of real power. Yes, influence, but you don't have

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:48.080
<v Speaker 1>power as first Lady that's designated to you, but to

0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:52.240
<v Speaker 1>be senior White House advisors that people either in the

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:55.480
<v Speaker 1>chain of command have to answer to. You know that

0:23:55.760 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 1>for me is that's the opening that they need in

0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 1>order to really try to take They want their top

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 1>targets going into the twenty twenty election, and I mean

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:12.560
<v Speaker 1>targets for prosecution if they can, even if they know

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:15.040
<v Speaker 1>that Trump would eventually part them, doesn't matter. The prosecution

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 1>would be humiliating. Think about that, you're a senior White

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:22.920
<v Speaker 1>House advita. Their dream scenario is to get Jared on

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:27.439
<v Speaker 1>money laundering or tax fraud. Their dream scenario is to

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:30.159
<v Speaker 1>get Donald Trump junior on lying under oath in the

0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Russian investigation or you know, or to get Ivanka on

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>trademark infringement, you know, whatever it is, and to humiliate

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:41.639
<v Speaker 1>one of Trump's children or a family member of his,

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 1>because it's deeply personal for the left. And that's why

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>when this email thing comes out, they abandon all objectivity

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:52.439
<v Speaker 1>right away. I mean, no serious person can tell me

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 1>that Ivanka's email situation is even the same stratosphere as

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:03.439
<v Speaker 1>what He'll Clinton did and just lay out the facts,

0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:07.680
<v Speaker 1>destroying the destroying the different hard drives with hammers, using

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 1>bleach bit erasing thirty thousand emails, only using that email.

0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 1>By the way, this wasn't oh sometimes I used the

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.439
<v Speaker 1>wrong email because I was going between different accounts. Only

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Hillary only used that email because she wanted to control

0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:24.400
<v Speaker 1>over her entire record. Why oh, As I've told you along,

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the Clinton Foundation was why which Now, by the way,

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the Congress says they're going to look into this more.

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:32.359
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be some investigation here at the Clinton Foundation.

0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:37.199
<v Speaker 1>There's got some stuff. But the Clinton Foundation was the

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 1>real vulnerability, because all it took was one shady email

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 1>to come into Hillary Clinton about somebody saying, hey, this

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:47.320
<v Speaker 1>donor wants a meeting with you and wants this policy.

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.360
<v Speaker 1>When you're president or whatever it may be. And that

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:53.240
<v Speaker 1>gets foyed because once it's in her inbox as a

0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 1>government official, it's in her inbox. So she wanted to

0:25:56.000 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 1>control that. The Clinton Foundation was always the vulnerability for

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:02.480
<v Speaker 1>her when she was running, but she set up a

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 1>separate email server and only use that. And she was

0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:09.600
<v Speaker 1>secretary of State. The Secretary of State gets the PDB.

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:13.240
<v Speaker 1>The Secretary of State has access to the most classified

0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:16.159
<v Speaker 1>stuff in the United States government. If Anka was like

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 1>in the transition, I don't even know. I don't even

0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:21.439
<v Speaker 1>know if she was had an interim clearance at this time.

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:23.960
<v Speaker 1>The idea that she was, you know, seeing all this

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:27.399
<v Speaker 1>really sensitive. She's seeing classified information about our employment numbers.

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, give me a break. It just doesn't add up.

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:36.400
<v Speaker 1>But that's where I have to remind myself. It's it's

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 1>not going to add up because it's not about being accurate,

0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:41.919
<v Speaker 1>it's not about being fair. It's just part of the

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:46.840
<v Speaker 1>destroyed Trump effort. And I've the same way that I'll

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:48.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk to you a little bit later on the show.

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>We'll have some Thanksgiving cheer. You know, I've got a

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:52.960
<v Speaker 1>couple of buddies joining later. We got a couple of veterans.

0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 1>We're going to talk to us about well the news,

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:58.520
<v Speaker 1>but also about some Thanksgiving thoughts, So that'll be fun.

0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Sean Parnell my buddy Shampar, I was gonna do with

0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 1>us later on the show. It's always good to hear

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 1>from Sean. But the same way that I've just grown,

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I know so many of you have as well, tired

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 1>of this Russia collusion blah, it's just all crap. We're

0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:17.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna get so tired of the attacks on Trump because

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:24.879
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be hyperbolic, dishonest, exaggerated, false. I mean, just

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 1>throw throw in your your prediction here, because you know

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:31.720
<v Speaker 1>it's going to happen. And what's so disgraceful about is

0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:36.440
<v Speaker 1>that they won't care about any of that. They will

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 1>not say, oh, you know what, maybe we shouldn't, maybe

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 1>we shouldn't have such an oppositional attitude of the presi

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.920
<v Speaker 1>United States that doesn't take facts into account. Now they're

0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:51.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, it's great, let's destroy let's destroy Trump whatever

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:52.960
<v Speaker 1>we have to do to destroy I mean, and that's

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.199
<v Speaker 1>why the Ivanka email thing, they're saying, that's gonna be

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:57.119
<v Speaker 1>what is Trey Goudy doing. By the way, what are

0:27:57.119 --> 0:27:59.880
<v Speaker 1>some of these Republicans doing? Oh, we have to investigate this, now,

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 1>why what do they have to investigate. They're gonna they're

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna hold the hearings over over Ivanka's emails. And also,

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:10.520
<v Speaker 1>does anyone think that if the shoe were on the

0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:13.960
<v Speaker 1>other foot, if the very fancy high heeled shoe with

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a classic Italian leather. No, But I mean, if we're

0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 1>on the other foot, would would Democrats be calling for

0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 1>an investigation of, you know, a member of the Obama

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 1>family Again, if the Obama family member was actually in

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 1>a senior government position. But the answers no. We all

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 1>know that Republicans love to play, you know, who can

0:28:35.560 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 1>out boy scout the other one at exactly the wrong moment.

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>And you know, you do enough of that you end

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:42.400
<v Speaker 1>up in Jeff Flake situation where it's like, Oh, you're

0:28:42.440 --> 0:28:44.920
<v Speaker 1>not a boy scout, You're actually just you're actually just

0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 1>a turncoat that no one can trust. I worry about,

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:51.200
<v Speaker 1>But the email, like I said, it's going nowhere except

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:54.320
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna make something out of it. Sometimes the story

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:59.120
<v Speaker 1>catches my eye. Team that's not in the usual realm

0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 1>of what we discuss said, this is definitely one of them.

0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:05.720
<v Speaker 1>But I've just got I've got some questions. So a

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 1>tourist and he's actually a really a I guess, a

0:29:09.360 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 1>self styled traveling missionary was killed on this island called

0:29:15.800 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 1>North Sentinel Island, which is on the Andaman Islands, deep

0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:25.880
<v Speaker 1>deep in the Indian Ocean. And this, this is this

0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 1>whole story just it's it's worth reading about. It's pretty

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:33.400
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty bizarre, but some interesting stuff going on in

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 1>the background of it. So you have the the Ediman Islands,

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:41.880
<v Speaker 1>this American tourist who was killed by arrows by the

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:45.000
<v Speaker 1>local tribesmen as soon as he set foot on shore.

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's because the Sentinel Lees, which is what they

0:29:49.000 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 1>call the inhabitants of North Sentinel Island, are one of

0:29:53.760 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the very few tribes in the world who are completely

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:02.719
<v Speaker 1>cut off from the outside world. They have no contact

0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:05.320
<v Speaker 1>with the outside world whatsoever. They have no electricity. They

0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 1>became famous a few years ago. Some of you may

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:13.400
<v Speaker 1>have seen this where a helicopter flew over the island

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and the Sentinels were firing arrows at the helicopter. You know,

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean wooden bow and arrows like stone Age weapons

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:24.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff at the at the helicopter. But as you know

0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 1>stone Age, you get hit with a stone Age arrow,

0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:28.760
<v Speaker 1>you're still hit with an arrow obviously, and that's what

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:31.760
<v Speaker 1>happened with this guy got killed. They also apparently wrapped

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:35.800
<v Speaker 1>a rope around around his neck. John Chow twenty seven

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:39.400
<v Speaker 1>years old. He was an American and he was killed.

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 1>And you have this tribe that's completely cut off from

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the world. In fact, the Indian Navy

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 1>isn't even allowed to spend any time on the island,

0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:55.840
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to approach the inhabitants. There's only one hundred

0:30:55.840 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and fifty of them. So it's it's this small tribe

0:30:58.480 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 1>of people and they're they're known to be very hostile

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to anyone. I mean, they essentially attack anyone who comes

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>on the island, which you know, I would note that

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:10.480
<v Speaker 1>we have this idea of of the you know, of

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:14.600
<v Speaker 1>indigenous peoples around the world, as you know, in the

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:19.120
<v Speaker 1>pre colonial, pre Western expansion era, of living at some

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:21.800
<v Speaker 1>level of peace and harmony with nature and with each other.

0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 1>And actually there was a lot of constant warfare. There's

0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fighting over land and hunting grounds, and

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:33.520
<v Speaker 1>people have been killing people, uh, killing each other for

0:31:33.560 --> 0:31:35.480
<v Speaker 1>as long as they've been able to lift rocks and

0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:41.800
<v Speaker 1>throw stones. Okay, so we have this very very out

0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 1>of out of touch with reality view often especially from

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>the Academy and from the media, of how, you know,

0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:52.680
<v Speaker 1>well before before the European explorers shut up, it's like, well,

0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the Aztecs actually were eating each other. So I wouldn't

0:31:57.280 --> 0:31:59.000
<v Speaker 1>go so far as to say that they were that

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 1>advanced as a society by our modern standards, which is

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 1>what we're judging so much by these days. Right. You know,

0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 1>we can't even watch sitcoms from the nineties because they're

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 1>so offensive, So we're constantly changing our standards. But back

0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:15.600
<v Speaker 1>to this North Centinel lease, I mean, I just wish

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>that I had some sense of what this guy's what

0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:21.960
<v Speaker 1>this guy's thinking was. Who you know, it's tragic he

0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 1>was killed and what a waste and he lands twenty

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:29.640
<v Speaker 1>seven years old. He got a ride with some local fishermen.

0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:33.360
<v Speaker 1>They've arrested the fisherman as responsible for his murder. They're

0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 1>not actually going to arrest any of the Centinel lease.

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you know Indian law applies here,

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:42.200
<v Speaker 1>but this is essentially a situation where if you land

0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:44.520
<v Speaker 1>on this island and they kill you, like, too bad

0:32:44.600 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you landed on their island. You know, if you were

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:51.000
<v Speaker 1>shipwrecked here and you got full of spears, you're bad

0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:54.280
<v Speaker 1>luck that you landed on North Centinel Island. But then

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:56.040
<v Speaker 1>there's this this other part of me that just wants

0:32:56.080 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to know whose idea is it to this one hundred

0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:04.160
<v Speaker 1>and fifty people will live this way, almost like it's

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 1>some kind of an exhibit at a you know, at

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:11.400
<v Speaker 1>a museum or something. You know, who thinks that there

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:14.120
<v Speaker 1>should be people that are cut off from the world.

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:18.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're definitely living in much greater poverty and

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:22.080
<v Speaker 1>a much greater difficulty than they would with the modern

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:25.400
<v Speaker 1>conveniences we have for medicine and other things. I just

0:33:25.400 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>think this is so strange. What what is the thinking here?

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:33.480
<v Speaker 1>You create this, this tiny enclave, this island where you know,

0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:35.720
<v Speaker 1>there's no contact, no one's allowed to land there, not

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:40.080
<v Speaker 1>even the military's allowed to land there, and you've preserved this,

0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:43.120
<v Speaker 1>this ancient way of life. You know, one day someone's

0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:45.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna do like a vice special or something from North

0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Central Island, and you know, all of a sudden, they'll

0:33:47.000 --> 0:33:50.560
<v Speaker 1>be walking around wearing I don't know, you know, T

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:55.040
<v Speaker 1>shirts from the twenty twenty twenty two you know, world

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 1>series or something, and we'll be like, oh, okay, so

0:33:57.160 --> 0:34:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, another one, another one that is part of

0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the world of commercialism and everything else

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:06.240
<v Speaker 1>we've got going on. But this is just a fascinating

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:08.880
<v Speaker 1>little story. The fact that there's even a place in

0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:11.839
<v Speaker 1>the world where there's an island where people who are

0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:13.800
<v Speaker 1>one hundred fifty people live and they have no contact.

0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they've never they've never seen an iPhone, they've

0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:22.200
<v Speaker 1>never seen a television, they've never used a phone, They've

0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:26.960
<v Speaker 1>in in the year twenty eighteen soon to be twenty nineteen.

0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:30.359
<v Speaker 1>I just think that's pretty remarkable. They're still hunting with

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:32.480
<v Speaker 1>not compact mean some of you are like buck Ey

0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 1>bow hunt. No, no no, not composite compound bows with you know,

0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:39.279
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty pound poll pressure at all. No, no no, no, no, no,

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:43.840
<v Speaker 1>they're using an old school It's just it's just a

0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:45.839
<v Speaker 1>really interesting story. So if you haven't seen it, check

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>it out. And it's sad. Obviously this guy's family. I

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:51.240
<v Speaker 1>guess he thought he was gonna convert all one hundred

0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:53.759
<v Speaker 1>and fifty members of this island and was a true

0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:56.399
<v Speaker 1>believer and all that, but it's not a good plan.

0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm here to t tell you today that the reality

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:04.520
<v Speaker 1>is that there are currently over six thousand, two hundred

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:08.800
<v Speaker 1>individuals camped out south of the US border in Tijuana. Today,

0:35:08.880 --> 0:35:11.759
<v Speaker 1>as I stand here in Mexicali, there are more than

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:15.200
<v Speaker 1>three thousand caravan members. The crisis is real and it

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 1>is just on the other side of this wall. We're

0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the most welcoming country in this world. We welcome more

0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:23.600
<v Speaker 1>refugees in the United States and every other country in

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the world combined. So enough, and you can't want to

0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 1>be a part of the greatest country on earth to

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:32.320
<v Speaker 1>not respect our laws. Seeking the better life doesn't qualify

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:35.719
<v Speaker 1>for asylum, so they're committing fraud. So that's just a

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:38.840
<v Speaker 1>stone cold fact this president needs to do, which hasn't

0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:41.000
<v Speaker 1>happened in the pass is once they if they get

0:35:41.000 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 1>to the United States and enter, they need to be

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:46.880
<v Speaker 1>detained until they see a judge. Because the Central American

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:49.920
<v Speaker 1>population is run around eighty nine to ninety one will

0:35:50.000 --> 0:35:53.040
<v Speaker 1>lose their case because they don't qualify for asylum, but

0:35:53.080 --> 0:35:54.680
<v Speaker 1>they have to be in customy when they lose the

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:57.000
<v Speaker 1>case so they can be removed, which sends a strong

0:35:57.040 --> 0:35:58.920
<v Speaker 1>message to the rest of the world that we are

0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:01.720
<v Speaker 1>a nation of laws. We'll give you a due process,

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:03.920
<v Speaker 1>but you got to live by the judge's decision. Also,

0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:08.279
<v Speaker 1>gotta stop this catch and release process. By the way,

0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:11.840
<v Speaker 1>notice how there's what six thousand now at the border.

0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Two weeks ago we were being mocked for even talking

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:17.680
<v Speaker 1>about the caravan by the left wing media. Oh, there's

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:19.319
<v Speaker 1>not going to be a caravan at the border. It's

0:36:19.320 --> 0:36:21.520
<v Speaker 1>all gonna break up. There's not gonna be there. They're

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:24.160
<v Speaker 1>never gonna get there. They can't walk there. These people

0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:27.239
<v Speaker 1>were idiots. Okay, it was obvious what was going to

0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:29.160
<v Speaker 1>happen once the caravan informed they were going to get

0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:33.080
<v Speaker 1>assistance and help, which they did to take transport to

0:36:33.360 --> 0:36:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the border, you know, of the US and Mexico instead

0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of the USA, I mean the in Mexico Guatemala border.

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:42.640
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what happened. I said, that's what was gonna

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:44.200
<v Speaker 1>happen here. I've been asking about all this. So, yeah,

0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:46.600
<v Speaker 1>they're probably gonna hop on a bus, which is what

0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:50.200
<v Speaker 1>they're trains, which what they did. But you know, the

0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:53.720
<v Speaker 1>people that were mocking, mocking the notion of the caravan

0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:56.319
<v Speaker 1>crisis a week or two ago. Now they're experts on

0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:59.960
<v Speaker 1>asylum law. See, they've just switched their expertise from caravan

0:37:00.040 --> 0:37:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and travel routes to asylum because ultimately, this is one

0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of these issues where if you're willing to just separate

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:12.400
<v Speaker 1>yourself from the reality, if you're willing to just forget

0:37:12.400 --> 0:37:14.480
<v Speaker 1>about what we all know is obviously going to be

0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:16.560
<v Speaker 1>the case, which is that these people are not going

0:37:16.600 --> 0:37:19.320
<v Speaker 1>to be they're not going to be kicked out of

0:37:19.360 --> 0:37:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the country. Once they're letting into the country, there won't

0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:25.680
<v Speaker 1>be the Interior enforcement to actually follow through on the law.

0:37:25.960 --> 0:37:27.279
<v Speaker 1>You get to just be the person. It's like, I

0:37:27.320 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 1>just want to welcome everybody. I just want to welcome

0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:33.840
<v Speaker 1>everybody to America. I'm so welcoming. Yeah, that's a more

0:37:35.280 --> 0:37:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, self indulgent position, to be sure. I mean,

0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:39.880
<v Speaker 1>it'd be nice to just say, you know, but I

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:43.799
<v Speaker 1>also feel like I wish that the uh, you know,

0:37:43.880 --> 0:37:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I wish that the government would just pay for everyone's

0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:49.800
<v Speaker 1>housing and everyone's food and everyone's medical care and everything's

0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:51.520
<v Speaker 1>fun and I wish all that were the case. But

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:54.360
<v Speaker 1>you know what, it's not the case. It's not a

0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:57.680
<v Speaker 1>good idea either. The government would it wouldn't work that way.

0:37:57.680 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 1>You know. This is it's just like what Thomas Soul

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:02.480
<v Speaker 1>said socialism. The best reason for it is it sounds good.

0:38:02.960 --> 0:38:07.560
<v Speaker 1>The biggest reason against it doesn't work. And open borders

0:38:07.719 --> 0:38:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and the destruction of sovereignty may make some people feel good,

0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:14.480
<v Speaker 1>but over the long term, and in fact, depending on

0:38:14.480 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 1>where you live in the country, over the short term,

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:21.280
<v Speaker 1>it's really destructive and it is lawless. The biggest difference

0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:28.560
<v Speaker 1>between our country and our society and our southern neighbors Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala,

0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:33.080
<v Speaker 1>The biggest difference we have other than our language is

0:38:33.640 --> 0:38:40.200
<v Speaker 1>rule of law. Laws here count. Laws here are enforced

0:38:40.680 --> 0:38:45.840
<v Speaker 1>not perfectly, but overall and in general, with the exception

0:38:45.880 --> 0:38:49.120
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of immigration law. That's where the that's

0:38:49.160 --> 0:38:50.960
<v Speaker 1>where the big hole is. That's where you got you know,

0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:54.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty million people in the country illegally. Yeah, those laws

0:38:54.080 --> 0:38:57.799
<v Speaker 1>don't count. And then you've got the dish run around.

0:38:57.920 --> 0:39:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I think the dish is great on stuff. At

0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:05.040
<v Speaker 1>times Durst lets me down a little bit. Dursh is,

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:08.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, run around and he's saying that this is

0:39:08.239 --> 0:39:12.120
<v Speaker 1>different than the travel ban play clip nine. It's not

0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:14.840
<v Speaker 1>like the travel ban. The travel ban, the president was

0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:18.720
<v Speaker 1>explicitly authorized by statute to decide which countries to prohibit

0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:24.440
<v Speaker 1>immigration from on asylum. The president doesn't have that authority statutorially,

0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:28.680
<v Speaker 1>but he has the broad constitutional authority to control our borders.

0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:35.440
<v Speaker 1>That's right, That's what I've been saying the president. The

0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:38.799
<v Speaker 1>president is correct here. He can say hey, he can't

0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:43.000
<v Speaker 1>come into the country. Sorry. He has that constitutional authority

0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:45.359
<v Speaker 1>to defend this country. See this is this is where

0:39:45.360 --> 0:39:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the real disconnect is with the left, with the Democrats.

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Borders are an issue of security, of national security. Who's

0:39:52.320 --> 0:39:56.319
<v Speaker 1>coming into this country and who doesn't. The commander in

0:39:56.400 --> 0:40:02.160
<v Speaker 1>chief has a say in that that can override specifics

0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:06.279
<v Speaker 1>of some of these congressional statutes. You know. This is

0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:09.320
<v Speaker 1>this would be like, you know, if Congress passed a

0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:14.400
<v Speaker 1>law that said the president can't repel an invasion, the

0:40:14.480 --> 0:40:18.399
<v Speaker 1>President turn around and say, oh, sorry, Constitutionally, I can

0:40:18.480 --> 0:40:21.200
<v Speaker 1>act to repell and invasion without you know, your say so.

0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I have an absolute right as the commander in chief

0:40:25.920 --> 0:40:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to defend this country and its immediate national security interests. Now,

0:40:30.520 --> 0:40:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I know people say, oh, buck that would have to

0:40:32.000 --> 0:40:34.960
<v Speaker 1>be litigated and argued. Well, yeah, but but there is

0:40:35.040 --> 0:40:38.759
<v Speaker 1>there is a very well established jurisprudence around that. And

0:40:38.920 --> 0:40:42.839
<v Speaker 1>that's why this Ninth Circuit, this Ninth Circuit judge, it's

0:40:42.840 --> 0:40:44.640
<v Speaker 1>just the same thing you always get. It's the hashtag

0:40:44.719 --> 0:40:50.480
<v Speaker 1>resistance judiciary. It's the last line of Obama is to

0:40:50.600 --> 0:40:56.040
<v Speaker 1>defense against Trump's executive authority, and they'll abuse it as

0:40:56.080 --> 0:40:58.239
<v Speaker 1>much as they can. They don't care that they're wrong,

0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 1>just like they don't care that the Russia probe is

0:41:00.520 --> 0:41:03.720
<v Speaker 1>going nowhere. At the end of the day, the point

0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 1>is to do it. The point is to abuse your authority.

0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:09.640
<v Speaker 1>The point is to go for it when you can.

0:41:11.719 --> 0:41:13.759
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I think the Trump is gonna win

0:41:13.800 --> 0:41:16.160
<v Speaker 1>at the Supreme Court level on this issue. But also

0:41:16.719 --> 0:41:19.239
<v Speaker 1>you look at the Congress and you know, look, this

0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:21.719
<v Speaker 1>should have been dealt with. This should have been dealt

0:41:21.760 --> 0:41:25.640
<v Speaker 1>with by the Republican majority. I'm sorry, but they're not

0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:28.279
<v Speaker 1>getting a good grade from me on immigration here. All right.

0:41:28.320 --> 0:41:30.120
<v Speaker 1>They had a majority in the House and the Senate,

0:41:30.640 --> 0:41:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and you know, damn it, if there needed to be

0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:34.960
<v Speaker 1>a shutdown of the government, oh yeah, the one that's

0:41:35.160 --> 0:41:37.359
<v Speaker 1>there's not going to be a shutdown coming up. Please now,

0:41:37.400 --> 0:41:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. But they needed to have this fight,

0:41:41.320 --> 0:41:44.359
<v Speaker 1>they needed to change some of the immigration laws, and

0:41:44.400 --> 0:41:46.000
<v Speaker 1>they didn't do it. They weren't willing to do it.

0:41:46.040 --> 0:41:48.560
<v Speaker 1>And now we're going to suffer the consequences. We're going

0:41:48.600 --> 0:41:50.400
<v Speaker 1>to be right back to where we were before Trump

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:52.759
<v Speaker 1>got elected, where it's going to be a question of

0:41:53.080 --> 0:41:56.600
<v Speaker 1>is America over or not in the next election, because

0:41:56.600 --> 0:41:59.839
<v Speaker 1>if amnesty happens, America is never the same. It's never

0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the same. You might have heard me talk about snippy

0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:07.839
<v Speaker 1>dot com. Well, it's a new social media site that

0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:11.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have any of the left wing bias you see

0:42:11.200 --> 0:42:13.359
<v Speaker 1>with many of those other platforms you already know about.

0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:15.200
<v Speaker 1>If you've looked at snippy dot com in the past

0:42:15.239 --> 0:42:17.840
<v Speaker 1>and left, you need to look again. Yesterday I was

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:19.799
<v Speaker 1>on posting. I gotta tell you they've done some great

0:42:19.880 --> 0:42:23.000
<v Speaker 1>new stuff. Thousands of my listeners have joined snippy dot com,

0:42:56.800 --> 0:43:00.319

0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:04.400
<v Speaker 1>com is your new alternative social media. I think it

0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:08.960
<v Speaker 1>is winding down. The President's answering of these questions doesn't

0:43:08.960 --> 0:43:11.960
<v Speaker 1>happen in a vacuum. The other things we see off.

0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:15.560
<v Speaker 1>For example, Special Counsel Maler is evidently going to allow

0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:18.840
<v Speaker 1>General Flynn to be sentenced. It looks like Manaford is

0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:22.080
<v Speaker 1>heading towards sentencing. I can tell you, as an experienced

0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:25.800
<v Speaker 1>former or prosecutor, that if you're intending to bring another

0:43:25.840 --> 0:43:28.520
<v Speaker 1>big case and you think you have these witnesses who

0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:32.319
<v Speaker 1>would be cooperating witnesses in that case, you don't let

0:43:32.360 --> 0:43:35.279
<v Speaker 1>them get sentenced. You have them testify first, and then

0:43:35.320 --> 0:43:37.919
<v Speaker 1>they get sentenced down the road. Just the fact that

0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:41.400
<v Speaker 1>we have indictments that abroad, he's letting the witnesses or

0:43:41.400 --> 0:43:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the potential witnesses get sentenced. That's sure signals like things

0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 1>are winding down. I certainly hope our friend Andy McCarthy

0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:52.040
<v Speaker 1>is right. I know he's not the only one who's

0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:54.319
<v Speaker 1>sang it. But you know what Andy says that it

0:43:54.320 --> 0:43:56.200
<v Speaker 1>adds a little oomph, you know, it adds a little

0:43:56.400 --> 0:44:00.280
<v Speaker 1>there's a little more gravitas behind it. This analysis says

0:44:00.320 --> 0:44:04.360
<v Speaker 1>that the Mueller probe is winding down. What a what

0:44:04.560 --> 0:44:07.080
<v Speaker 1>a just a circus. The whole thing has been, I mean,

0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:10.680
<v Speaker 1>what a waste of resources, a waste of time. Our

0:44:10.719 --> 0:44:14.360
<v Speaker 1>elections are not any safer. We haven't any change in

0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:18.200
<v Speaker 1>US Russia posture. Russia still is gonna meddle when it

0:44:18.280 --> 0:44:20.880
<v Speaker 1>wants to meddle and do weird things on the internet.

0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:22.680
<v Speaker 1>And you know it's up to us to try to

0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:27.440
<v Speaker 1>offset that with whatever defensive and countermeasures we have. Right,

0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:31.200
<v Speaker 1>but the whole thing, I mean, this was in my

0:44:31.239 --> 0:44:36.080
<v Speaker 1>first year on syndicated radio, which was twenty seventeen. This

0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:38.600
<v Speaker 1>was the story that you just you couldn't escape, right,

0:44:38.640 --> 0:44:42.440
<v Speaker 1>it was all the time, and day after day, Oh,

0:44:42.440 --> 0:44:46.000
<v Speaker 1>this Russia theory, that Russia theory. This person. I remember

0:44:46.000 --> 0:44:51.359
<v Speaker 1>when the Don Trump Junior Kushner Trump Tower meeting came out.

0:44:51.400 --> 0:44:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, it was the end of the Trump prey.

0:44:53.320 --> 0:44:54.920
<v Speaker 1>It was the end of the Trump presidency. Over and

0:44:54.960 --> 0:45:00.400
<v Speaker 1>over again. Of course, all that was just hyperbolic crap.

0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:04.120
<v Speaker 1>It was nonsense. It was not actually what we were

0:45:04.800 --> 0:45:07.280
<v Speaker 1>at least if you believe the media led to believe.

0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:11.640
<v Speaker 1>It was just them playing out this fantasy in real

0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:14.160
<v Speaker 1>time about how Trump didn't really win the election, how

0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:16.680
<v Speaker 1>there was this Russian hand behind it all. And I

0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:22.040
<v Speaker 1>have become exhausted with this story because there's so little

0:45:22.080 --> 0:45:25.000
<v Speaker 1>new information they ever add to it. Either oh you know,

0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:29.719
<v Speaker 1>they're now and the information we want they're either redacting

0:45:29.840 --> 0:45:31.960
<v Speaker 1>or we haven't gotten yet, you know, the information we

0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:35.320
<v Speaker 1>really want to get, things like, oh, did General Flynn

0:45:35.680 --> 0:45:38.600
<v Speaker 1>actually lie to the FBI or did they just decide

0:45:39.080 --> 0:45:41.640
<v Speaker 1>to claim a scalp early on here to make this

0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:44.719
<v Speaker 1>whole thing seem more legitimate and and make a very

0:45:44.960 --> 0:45:47.480
<v Speaker 1>shady judgment call that, Yeah, he kind of lied, so

0:45:47.600 --> 0:45:50.640
<v Speaker 1>let's act like he lied. They're gonna be sentencing him soon.

0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:52.320
<v Speaker 1>But oh, I think Flynn should be pardoned. I'm just

0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:54.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna come out and say it. I think Flynn should

0:45:54.000 --> 0:45:57.200
<v Speaker 1>be pardoned. I don't think they'd lied about anything that

0:45:57.280 --> 0:46:00.760
<v Speaker 1>was material or right. People say, oh, he love, he love. Yeah,

0:46:00.760 --> 0:46:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Well guess what. There are actually some distinctions in what

0:46:03.239 --> 0:46:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the lie. There's some distinctions in the law about what

0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:09.839
<v Speaker 1>lie is prosecutable and what lies not. And and if

0:46:09.880 --> 0:46:13.320
<v Speaker 1>they said, you know, did you discuss sanctions with Sergey

0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Kisliak on the phone, he goes, no, I don't. I

0:46:15.800 --> 0:46:18.040
<v Speaker 1>don't think. I don't think we talked about that, or

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, that could be a misremembering, that could be

0:46:21.320 --> 0:46:23.920
<v Speaker 1>And it all depends on the context. Right, is it

0:46:23.960 --> 0:46:28.439
<v Speaker 1>a willful and you know, knowingly and willfully lying about

0:46:28.440 --> 0:46:32.040
<v Speaker 1>a material fact. That's what he would have to That's

0:46:32.040 --> 0:46:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the threshold that the prosecutors would have to cross to

0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:36.920
<v Speaker 1>get him. I just I don't believe, based on what

0:46:36.960 --> 0:46:38.880
<v Speaker 1>we know, they crossed that threshold. I think that they

0:46:38.960 --> 0:46:41.600
<v Speaker 1>just they wanted to get Flint. That's what I think,

0:46:41.640 --> 0:46:44.360
<v Speaker 1>quite obviously has been the case here. And you know,

0:46:44.400 --> 0:46:47.279
<v Speaker 1>he's been really good on this and just barely held

0:46:47.320 --> 0:46:49.239
<v Speaker 1>on to his congressional seat. If one I understand is

0:46:49.239 --> 0:46:52.719
<v Speaker 1>Devin Newness who has been talking about this for a

0:46:52.719 --> 0:46:54.600
<v Speaker 1>long time, and you know he's been a warrior on

0:46:54.600 --> 0:46:57.040
<v Speaker 1>this issue. You gotta get the guy credit. He's taken

0:46:57.120 --> 0:47:00.560
<v Speaker 1>so much heat from the left wing media. He's been

0:47:00.600 --> 0:47:02.239
<v Speaker 1>willing to stand up and say, I mean, this is

0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:06.400
<v Speaker 1>just this is just nonsense. And here's here's Devin Nunez

0:47:06.440 --> 0:47:08.120
<v Speaker 1>with the latest on this play clip ten. I mean,

0:47:08.160 --> 0:47:11.800
<v Speaker 1>there was never any collusion between the Trump campaign in Russia. Sadly,

0:47:11.880 --> 0:47:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you have like half of the Democrats in this country

0:47:14.200 --> 0:47:17.520
<v Speaker 1>that believe that somehow the Russians change votes in the

0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:20.920
<v Speaker 1>last election, and the people who have been spreading this

0:47:21.000 --> 0:47:23.480
<v Speaker 1>poison out to be a shamed of themselves. So I'm

0:47:23.520 --> 0:47:26.880
<v Speaker 1>glad that that maybe this is coming to an end.

0:47:26.920 --> 0:47:29.560
<v Speaker 1>But I will I will stress I still don't believe it.

0:47:29.600 --> 0:47:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I won't believe it until I see it. I think

0:47:31.680 --> 0:47:34.759
<v Speaker 1>there's some reluctance in the White House to actually to

0:47:34.880 --> 0:47:39.279
<v Speaker 1>actually go out and release all the documents, the four

0:47:39.320 --> 0:47:43.840
<v Speaker 1>buckets now as we call them, of the the Carter Page, FISA,

0:47:43.920 --> 0:47:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the third Renewal, we have the Bruce or three O two's,

0:47:47.400 --> 0:47:50.239
<v Speaker 1>we have the exculpatory evidence, and now we also have

0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:53.480
<v Speaker 1>a fourth bucket of emails that the FBI was sending

0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:55.600
<v Speaker 1>around that shows that clearly they knew what they were

0:47:55.600 --> 0:47:59.440
<v Speaker 1>doing before they went to the FISA court. I wonder

0:47:59.480 --> 0:48:01.359
<v Speaker 1>why there is that reluctance. I mean, first of all,

0:48:01.360 --> 0:48:04.479
<v Speaker 1>every everything that Newness is saying here, I essentially sign

0:48:04.520 --> 0:48:07.200
<v Speaker 1>off on agree with. You know, I think people should

0:48:07.200 --> 0:48:10.360
<v Speaker 1>be ashamed, but they're not because this was always about

0:48:10.400 --> 0:48:14.120
<v Speaker 1>partisan payback and they've achieved that. If Muller, if the

0:48:14.200 --> 0:48:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Muller Final Report comes out next week and it and

0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:23.600
<v Speaker 1>it entirely clears Trump of any personal wrongdoing, which maybe

0:48:23.600 --> 0:48:26.360
<v Speaker 1>it will, maybe it won't. It'll probably say something about,

0:48:26.440 --> 0:48:31.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, interference with government something or something, not obstruction,

0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:33.480
<v Speaker 1>but close to obstruction. That's what the Muller Report will

0:48:33.520 --> 0:48:35.600
<v Speaker 1>probably say about Trump. And then they'll leave it up

0:48:35.600 --> 0:48:38.360
<v Speaker 1>to the impeachment process, which is what they want to,

0:48:38.680 --> 0:48:41.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, be the only mechanism of justice that can

0:48:41.840 --> 0:48:44.520
<v Speaker 1>be applied. So it won't be a criminal issue. It'll

0:48:44.560 --> 0:48:50.120
<v Speaker 1>be a political judgment issue. But even if that happened,

0:48:51.000 --> 0:48:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you gotta stand, the left has gotten their way here.

0:48:53.800 --> 0:48:58.760
<v Speaker 1>They have really hampered, they've really slowed down, they've weighed

0:48:58.760 --> 0:49:01.600
<v Speaker 1>down the administration, and they've I mean, when I spoke

0:49:01.640 --> 0:49:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to Trump about this a couple of months ago, he

0:49:04.560 --> 0:49:07.560
<v Speaker 1>was fuming, and he should be. He's like, these people

0:49:07.560 --> 0:49:10.920
<v Speaker 1>are nuts. I colluded with Russia to win the election.

0:49:11.239 --> 0:49:14.720
<v Speaker 1>The guy was doing three, you know, rallies, four rallies,

0:49:14.719 --> 0:49:17.680
<v Speaker 1>five rallies a day, sometimes tens of thousands of people.

0:49:18.239 --> 0:49:23.600
<v Speaker 1>He's a political phenomenon. And the secret sauce is some

0:49:23.719 --> 0:49:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Facebook ad buys with Vladimir Putin given a wink and

0:49:27.600 --> 0:49:32.000
<v Speaker 1>a nod. The secret sauce is somebody releasing some John

0:49:32.040 --> 0:49:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Podesti emails that showed that they you know, didn't really

0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:37.640
<v Speaker 1>the DNC wasn't fair to burning which by the way,

0:49:37.680 --> 0:49:40.440
<v Speaker 1>they weren't. It was the truth. It's not even like

0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:44.799
<v Speaker 1>it was a disinformation campaign. The Podesta emails, the DNC hack.

0:49:45.239 --> 0:49:47.160
<v Speaker 1>All that we found out from that was stuff that

0:49:47.280 --> 0:49:51.040
<v Speaker 1>was actually true. So, you know, what are we even

0:49:51.040 --> 0:49:56.120
<v Speaker 1>really talking about with that? But Democrats got their way here.

0:49:56.800 --> 0:50:01.359
<v Speaker 1>The process is the punishment. The whole purpose of this

0:50:01.440 --> 0:50:05.880
<v Speaker 1>investigation was to conduct the investigation, to squeeze people, to

0:50:06.360 --> 0:50:10.440
<v Speaker 1>put them under duress, to isolate the president, to scare

0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:15.319
<v Speaker 1>away his allies. That was the motivation behind this from

0:50:15.360 --> 0:50:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the start. Yeah, maybe in their in their dreams, they

0:50:18.960 --> 0:50:21.600
<v Speaker 1>thought we could, you know, Trump will make some misstep,

0:50:21.760 --> 0:50:23.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know a lot of them were hoping

0:50:23.719 --> 0:50:26.360
<v Speaker 1>that Mueller would have this one on one showdown with

0:50:26.400 --> 0:50:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump under oath, and Mueller would finally get him with

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:31.360
<v Speaker 1>a perjury trappe. Think about how that would have imagined.

0:50:31.360 --> 0:50:33.640
<v Speaker 1>For a moment they'd actually gotten their wish and Trump

0:50:34.200 --> 0:50:37.440
<v Speaker 1>got a little trumpy and was a little bit fast

0:50:37.480 --> 0:50:40.719
<v Speaker 1>and loose with an unimportant thing, you know, with but

0:50:40.880 --> 0:50:44.040
<v Speaker 1>something that Muller might be able to make stick as

0:50:44.080 --> 0:50:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a as lying under oath. Think of how divided the

0:50:48.000 --> 0:50:49.680
<v Speaker 1>country would have been over that. I mean, think of

0:50:49.719 --> 0:50:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the ramifications of we're going to bring criminal charges against

0:50:54.480 --> 0:50:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the president for this, you know, under perjury, underlying under oath,

0:51:00.520 --> 0:51:04.680
<v Speaker 1>because we had him sit down for this bogus bullcrap

0:51:04.880 --> 0:51:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Russia collusion investigation. I mean, think about the way that

0:51:07.920 --> 0:51:10.520
<v Speaker 1>people would react to that. Who were Trump, think might

0:51:10.600 --> 0:51:12.319
<v Speaker 1>be me and you, I mean, how would we feel

0:51:12.360 --> 0:51:16.000
<v Speaker 1>about that? This is really what they pull. This is

0:51:16.040 --> 0:51:18.279
<v Speaker 1>the nonsense that's going on. You know, there's so much

0:51:18.320 --> 0:51:21.719
<v Speaker 1>rewriting of the Bill Clinton saga to make it seem

0:51:21.760 --> 0:51:25.080
<v Speaker 1>like there was this javert like ken Starr who was

0:51:25.120 --> 0:51:29.640
<v Speaker 1>going after him and Monsieur Valjean Da Da da da

0:51:29.880 --> 0:51:32.319
<v Speaker 1>those you whore lay miss fans. You caught that weird

0:51:32.360 --> 0:51:34.080
<v Speaker 1>reference I just made. But the rest of your life

0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:37.680
<v Speaker 1>is Buck having some kind of a breakdown. But the

0:51:37.960 --> 0:51:42.080
<v Speaker 1>truth is that the Clinton stuff was all self inflicted.

0:51:43.080 --> 0:51:47.200
<v Speaker 1>The Clinton stuff was corrupt beyond anybody's you know, beyond

0:51:47.200 --> 0:51:51.840
<v Speaker 1>anyone's imagining. And you know, I think that that's that's

0:51:51.920 --> 0:51:56.399
<v Speaker 1>often as part of the retelling of things now, we're

0:51:56.440 --> 0:51:59.640
<v Speaker 1>always led to believe that, oh, there's something so you know,

0:51:59.640 --> 0:52:01.880
<v Speaker 1>it was so unfair what they did to the Clintons. No,

0:52:01.960 --> 0:52:05.960
<v Speaker 1>it's unfair what what they did to themselves. Unfair. They

0:52:05.960 --> 0:52:11.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't selves, by the way, the the Clinton Foundation report

0:52:11.360 --> 0:52:14.440
<v Speaker 1>is out, and I you know, this is one of

0:52:14.440 --> 0:52:16.960
<v Speaker 1>these things where I've been saying for a very long

0:52:17.000 --> 0:52:22.640
<v Speaker 1>time that that you will see how corrupt the Clintons

0:52:22.680 --> 0:52:26.200
<v Speaker 1>are and it will be very apparent. And I was

0:52:26.280 --> 0:52:29.520
<v Speaker 1>at c a end doing on air analysis in the election.

0:52:29.560 --> 0:52:31.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, the Clinton Foundation, the fact that no one's

0:52:31.920 --> 0:52:35.480
<v Speaker 1>looking into this is appalling, the fact that nobody is

0:52:35.520 --> 0:52:38.480
<v Speaker 1>really digging into what is clearly a pay to play scheme,

0:52:39.120 --> 0:52:43.760
<v Speaker 1>and they're there, they're full. You know, donations and everything

0:52:43.840 --> 0:52:46.960
<v Speaker 1>for twenty seventeen have now been have now been put

0:52:46.960 --> 0:52:51.320
<v Speaker 1>out there, and you know, they went from getting basically

0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:55.279
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty million dollars plus and donations to

0:52:55.920 --> 0:53:01.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty million dollars plus. Yeah, that's right, all of a sudden,

0:53:01.000 --> 0:53:03.360
<v Speaker 1>no one cares about charity. All of a sudden, no

0:53:03.400 --> 0:53:06.480
<v Speaker 1>one cares about these causes that oh, oh, you mean

0:53:06.520 --> 0:53:10.600
<v Speaker 1>they weren't donating to the Clintons because they wanted to

0:53:10.600 --> 0:53:13.640
<v Speaker 1>help the world. You mean they were buying access and influence.

0:53:14.200 --> 0:53:16.359
<v Speaker 1>You mean the Clintons created a charity that was really

0:53:16.400 --> 0:53:20.040
<v Speaker 1>affront for buying a seat at the table with the

0:53:20.080 --> 0:53:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Clintons when she was going to be president, which is

0:53:22.560 --> 0:53:28.799
<v Speaker 1>what everybody thought. It is disgusting. And there were so

0:53:28.840 --> 0:53:31.279
<v Speaker 1>many people and I could even I could even name

0:53:31.360 --> 0:53:35.280
<v Speaker 1>some names, so many people who were just a part

0:53:35.320 --> 0:53:40.160
<v Speaker 1>of the Clinton lies, the Clinton lies around this issue

0:53:40.239 --> 0:53:42.279
<v Speaker 1>and said, oh, yeah, that's right, it's all just about

0:53:42.400 --> 0:53:45.360
<v Speaker 1>charity work. That's why when she's not going to be

0:53:45.400 --> 0:53:49.080
<v Speaker 1>president anymore, all of a sudden, the donations almost just

0:53:49.080 --> 0:53:53.040
<v Speaker 1>just evaporate. The whole thing was a corrupse game. I'm

0:53:53.040 --> 0:53:54.960
<v Speaker 1>glad that Congress says that they're going to look into this.

0:53:55.040 --> 0:53:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I like this announcement for Mark Meadows. We broke it

0:53:57.760 --> 0:54:00.480
<v Speaker 1>on the hill that there's going to be more because

0:54:00.480 --> 0:54:03.520
<v Speaker 1>we should look deeper at the Clinton Foundation. There's there's

0:54:03.560 --> 0:54:07.520
<v Speaker 1>not just smoke there, there's fire. Fundamentally, we have returned

0:54:07.760 --> 0:54:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to a nation that has decided it should be very

0:54:10.600 --> 0:54:13.640
<v Speaker 1>difficult for people of color to vote. It was racially driven.

0:54:13.719 --> 0:54:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say if she'd had a fair election,

0:54:16.560 --> 0:54:20.600
<v Speaker 1>she already would have won. Brian Camp, the man who

0:54:20.640 --> 0:54:25.120
<v Speaker 1>basically pickpocketed Jim Crow and turned this election into a

0:54:25.239 --> 0:54:29.560
<v Speaker 1>voter suppression election. He has been blocking African Americans from

0:54:29.640 --> 0:54:32.280
<v Speaker 1>voting for some time now. I think that Stacy Abrams

0:54:32.320 --> 0:54:35.839
<v Speaker 1>election is being stolen from her using what I think

0:54:35.880 --> 0:54:40.600
<v Speaker 1>are insidious measures to disenfranchise certain groups of another party

0:54:40.840 --> 0:54:43.680
<v Speaker 1>is the law and order party, but clearly Republicans always

0:54:43.680 --> 0:54:46.399
<v Speaker 1>tried to posture and position themselves that way, but they

0:54:46.480 --> 0:54:48.560
<v Speaker 1>used the law when it benefits them. They cheat to

0:54:48.560 --> 0:54:52.040
<v Speaker 1>win elections, they disenfranchise voters. If Stacy Abrams doesn't win

0:54:52.080 --> 0:54:55.160
<v Speaker 1>in Georgia, they stole it. It's clear. It's clear how

0:54:55.239 --> 0:55:01.840
<v Speaker 1>the branch stole Christmas aka the elections down in judge

0:55:03.440 --> 0:55:06.960
<v Speaker 1>all lies. By the way, I want to just remind

0:55:07.040 --> 0:55:11.640
<v Speaker 1>you that yes, in the end, Kemp defeated Abrams, and

0:55:11.760 --> 0:55:14.839
<v Speaker 1>that's the way it's going to be. But the same

0:55:14.880 --> 0:55:17.080
<v Speaker 1>media that always tells you they're just there to just

0:55:17.120 --> 0:55:19.719
<v Speaker 1>speak the facts, man, just tell you the truth. They're

0:55:19.760 --> 0:55:22.320
<v Speaker 1>there to just make sure that we all know exactly

0:55:22.320 --> 0:55:24.759
<v Speaker 1>what's gone on and what happened and everything else. That

0:55:25.000 --> 0:55:33.759
<v Speaker 1>same media is not at all feeling chastened or in

0:55:33.800 --> 0:55:36.880
<v Speaker 1>any way like they should change their attitudes about anything

0:55:37.400 --> 0:55:40.800
<v Speaker 1>after running with these wild accusations about the Georgia election

0:55:40.960 --> 0:55:45.560
<v Speaker 1>based in no actual information, nothing, nothing, what's up they have?

0:55:45.840 --> 0:55:48.920
<v Speaker 1>There's no evidence that kempt in any of these things. None.

0:55:50.560 --> 0:55:52.440
<v Speaker 1>And all you have to do is look at Georgia

0:55:52.560 --> 0:55:55.120
<v Speaker 1>election law and no, this is all mythology. It was

0:55:55.200 --> 0:55:59.320
<v Speaker 1>spread by the media in an echo chamber fashion without

0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the most basic fact checking. I was astonished. Look, I

0:56:04.480 --> 0:56:07.360
<v Speaker 1>have to research state by state how elections, who's in

0:56:07.440 --> 0:56:09.360
<v Speaker 1>charge of Ward and what's going on. I mean, you

0:56:09.400 --> 0:56:11.560
<v Speaker 1>know there's a lot of states. You know. Obama says

0:56:11.640 --> 0:56:14.160
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven. I say fifty. There's a lot of states

0:56:14.160 --> 0:56:17.920
<v Speaker 1>out there, and when you look into what the truth

0:56:18.040 --> 0:56:21.040
<v Speaker 1>is about Georgia, you find out that Kemp had nothing

0:56:21.080 --> 0:56:24.160
<v Speaker 1>to do with the move you know, the moving polling

0:56:24.200 --> 0:56:27.759
<v Speaker 1>places which have been moved since twenty twelve. Kemp had

0:56:27.800 --> 0:56:31.359
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with these different voter suppression measures which

0:56:31.360 --> 0:56:34.400
<v Speaker 1>were all approved at the county level by different elected

0:56:34.480 --> 0:56:39.400
<v Speaker 1>boards of you know, election people. There's nothing to do

0:56:39.440 --> 0:56:43.440
<v Speaker 1>with him. And this would be like blaming me for

0:56:43.600 --> 0:56:47.239
<v Speaker 1>the crappy prime time lineup at CNN. I agree that

0:56:47.360 --> 0:56:50.640
<v Speaker 1>CNN Prime time lineup is full of clowns and jokers,

0:56:50.920 --> 0:56:53.640
<v Speaker 1>but it's not my fault. I didn't do that, right,

0:56:53.680 --> 0:56:57.720
<v Speaker 1>don't yell at me. They're blaming Kemp and they're telling

0:56:57.760 --> 0:57:01.040
<v Speaker 1>all these stories of voter suppression. Meanwhile, they had record turnout,

0:57:01.719 --> 0:57:04.880
<v Speaker 1>So if there was a voter suppression effort, it was

0:57:04.920 --> 0:57:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the worst voter suppression effort ever because it would have backfired.

0:57:08.520 --> 0:57:10.440
<v Speaker 1>You had a higher turnout then you usually would have

0:57:10.520 --> 0:57:13.160
<v Speaker 1>in Georgia for governor's election, much higher turnout in fact,

0:57:13.760 --> 0:57:16.840
<v Speaker 1>depending on the year you compare it to. And just

0:57:17.320 --> 0:57:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the recklessness of these media allegations and they don't. They

0:57:20.560 --> 0:57:23.160
<v Speaker 1>don't go back and correct anything. I mean, that's why,

0:57:23.520 --> 0:57:25.720
<v Speaker 1>in the immortal words of the one and only mister

0:57:25.800 --> 0:57:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Rush Limbaugh, the drive buys. Yeah, they just leave wreckage

0:57:29.080 --> 0:57:31.680
<v Speaker 1>in their way, through wreckage and destruction and misery, and

0:57:31.760 --> 0:57:35.320
<v Speaker 1>they just keep on driving. Just they just destroy, destroy,

0:57:35.400 --> 0:57:37.440
<v Speaker 1>and then they go on to the next thing. They

0:57:37.440 --> 0:57:41.360
<v Speaker 1>don't go back and correct. They were spreading lies about

0:57:41.360 --> 0:57:43.600
<v Speaker 1>this Georgia election. You know who was at the very

0:57:43.640 --> 0:57:47.480
<v Speaker 1>forefront of spreading those lines. The Democrat candidate herself, Stacy

0:57:47.520 --> 0:57:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Abrams play cliped four. It was not a free and

0:57:50.080 --> 0:57:54.120
<v Speaker 1>fair election. It was not fair to the thousands who

0:57:54.120 --> 0:57:56.960
<v Speaker 1>were forced to wait in long lines. It was not

0:57:57.120 --> 0:57:59.320
<v Speaker 1>fair to the thousands that were put on hold with

0:57:59.360 --> 0:58:03.840
<v Speaker 1>their registration. Is he the legitimate governor elect of Georgia?

0:58:04.080 --> 0:58:06.919
<v Speaker 1>He is the person who won an adequate number of votes.

0:58:06.960 --> 0:58:09.360
<v Speaker 1>But you're not using the word legitimate. Is he the

0:58:09.480 --> 0:58:12.640
<v Speaker 1>legitimate governor elect of Georgia? He is the legal governor

0:58:12.640 --> 0:58:18.240
<v Speaker 1>of Georgia. Won't say legitimate. Won't say legitimate because she

0:58:18.320 --> 0:58:20.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't think he is, or she at least is telling

0:58:20.280 --> 0:58:25.560
<v Speaker 1>people he's not. That's disgusting, that's disgusting. I remember when

0:58:25.560 --> 0:58:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the big knock on on Trump was that he wasn't

0:58:28.520 --> 0:58:31.160
<v Speaker 1>going to accept the twenty sixteen election results. Remember that.

0:58:31.840 --> 0:58:34.960
<v Speaker 1>And now we've gone through as a nation, been dragged

0:58:35.000 --> 0:58:39.200
<v Speaker 1>through two years of left wing delusion where they've been

0:58:39.240 --> 0:58:42.840
<v Speaker 1>refusing to accept election results, and we see that they've

0:58:42.920 --> 0:58:45.280
<v Speaker 1>learned nothing as a result of all of this. I mean,

0:58:45.560 --> 0:58:50.800
<v Speaker 1>nothing has changed with them. They still very clearly have

0:58:50.920 --> 0:58:54.680
<v Speaker 1>a sore loser attitude anytime there's an important election that

0:58:54.760 --> 0:58:58.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't go their way. And yet I'm quite sure the

0:58:58.680 --> 0:59:01.320
<v Speaker 1>next time around they'll say, well, if Trump doesn't win

0:59:01.400 --> 0:59:04.880
<v Speaker 1>re election, he may refuse to accept the results. You know,

0:59:04.920 --> 0:59:08.200
<v Speaker 1>this is just something that they say, This is something

0:59:08.200 --> 0:59:11.360
<v Speaker 1>that they will push out there, and the rest of

0:59:11.480 --> 0:59:14.480
<v Speaker 1>us are supposed to just accept this for some for

0:59:14.520 --> 0:59:19.080
<v Speaker 1>some reason, we're supposed to accept that this is you

0:59:19.120 --> 0:59:22.360
<v Speaker 1>know that there's this. I mean, Jonah Goldberg actually wrote

0:59:22.360 --> 0:59:24.760
<v Speaker 1>about it this week for National Review. Hes like, there's

0:59:24.800 --> 0:59:26.680
<v Speaker 1>just a huge double standard of the media coverage this.

0:59:26.800 --> 0:59:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Of course there is. Yeah, there's a huge double standard,

0:59:30.120 --> 0:59:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, And as I've said in the last few days,

0:59:33.200 --> 0:59:35.600
<v Speaker 1>for Democrats, it's you know, heads we win, tales you lose.

0:59:36.760 --> 0:59:39.560
<v Speaker 1>That's the way elections go. You either you either didn't

0:59:39.600 --> 0:59:44.640
<v Speaker 1>win legitimately you know, you cheated, or we're gonna still

0:59:44.720 --> 0:59:49.360
<v Speaker 1>bash you for not accepting the election results even if

0:59:49.360 --> 0:59:51.320
<v Speaker 1>you accept them, right, because we're gonna say that you

0:59:51.320 --> 0:59:53.400
<v Speaker 1>weren't going to accept them ahead of time. I mean,

0:59:54.160 --> 0:59:56.600
<v Speaker 1>it's and they're gonna say it the next time too,

0:59:56.640 --> 1:00:00.080
<v Speaker 1>even even when the Conservatives, even when Republicans go, okay,

1:00:00.120 --> 1:00:01.959
<v Speaker 1>lost that, when they go, oh well, you know, maybe

1:00:01.960 --> 1:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>they will, they're gonna try to suppress the next one.

1:00:04.600 --> 1:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna try to cheat in the next one. You know,

1:00:07.040 --> 1:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>there's no good faith that they offer on this ever.

1:00:10.400 --> 1:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I you'll notice this is a recurring theme. A left

1:00:12.600 --> 1:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't doesn't approach our side with good faith on much,

1:00:15.400 --> 1:00:18.960
<v Speaker 1>on much of anything these days. So and it's troubling,

1:00:19.080 --> 1:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>it's troubly. But this whole Oh by the way, Mia

1:00:21.240 --> 1:00:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Love actually ended up losing out in Utah, which was

1:00:23.760 --> 1:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a surprise to some folks. So I guess Trump was

1:00:25.640 --> 1:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>right when he said maybe she should have been a

1:00:26.960 --> 1:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>little nicer to Trump. It looked like maybe Mia was

1:00:29.800 --> 1:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna get the last laugh. But nope, that is not

1:00:34.000 --> 1:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>that is not, in fact, what happened. It turned out

1:00:36.080 --> 1:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>that she probably would have been better off being a

1:00:38.680 --> 1:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>little more pro Trump and a little less off on

1:00:41.840 --> 1:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>her own there. Um, speaking of the speaking of the

1:00:47.240 --> 1:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>way that these elections have have shaken out, I've just

1:00:50.560 --> 1:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>got to say, you know, there there's also, um this

1:00:56.080 --> 1:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>this sentiment that that continues to get this attentional left

1:01:00.840 --> 1:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>that there's no such thing as voter fraud. You know,

1:01:04.760 --> 1:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>they always say, they always say this, they'll say, there's

1:01:08.440 --> 1:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>no voter fraud. To speak, voter fraud is not a problem, folks, right,

1:01:12.160 --> 1:01:14.440
<v Speaker 1>there's there's no why would anyone do it? They say?

1:01:14.800 --> 1:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And this reminds me of when they talk about how

1:01:16.880 --> 1:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>women don't lie about sexual assault. Well, there are actually

1:01:20.160 --> 1:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>are very important, prominent cases where women have lied. Doesn't

1:01:23.640 --> 1:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>mean all women do, mean some women do. Very few

1:01:26.680 --> 1:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>people engage in voter fraud as a percentage, but people

1:01:30.080 --> 1:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>do engage in voter fraud. And you know, this is

1:01:32.600 --> 1:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>a story that's going to get just the most superficial treatment,

1:01:36.800 --> 1:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>most superficial coverage. And it's out of California, no less.

1:01:41.760 --> 1:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Here's the story from from NBC. Nine people were charged

1:01:45.600 --> 1:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>in connection with a voter fraud scheme in which homeless

1:01:48.040 --> 1:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>people in Los Angeles' skid Row neighborhood were given cash

1:01:52.400 --> 1:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>and cigarettes in exchange for fraudulent signatures on ballot initiatives,

1:01:57.480 --> 1:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>petitions and voter registration forms. Prosecutors Tuesday. The Los Angeles

1:02:02.440 --> 1:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>County distric Attorney's office wouldn't identify a motive or details

1:02:06.120 --> 1:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of the alleged scheme, but in May, two news organizations

1:02:10.760 --> 1:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>discovered that initial allegations connected to three of the nine

1:02:15.280 --> 1:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>suspects involving gathering signatures four ballot initiatives. This is voter fraud,

1:02:20.400 --> 1:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>which we talk about and we know it exists, but

1:02:22.240 --> 1:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>it isn't exactly something that patrol officers deal with. LAPD

1:02:25.160 --> 1:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Detective Megan Aguilar said on said back in May, so

1:02:30.760 --> 1:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is a felony complaint about people circulating

1:02:35.360 --> 1:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>petitions with false names, voter fraud, registering a fictitious person,

1:02:39.840 --> 1:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>registering non existent persons. And you could say, Buck, why

1:02:44.600 --> 1:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>would anyone take this risk? Why would anyone be so

1:02:47.320 --> 1:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>dumb as to risk their own freedom and you know,

1:02:52.000 --> 1:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>their own future. They try to get some extra signatures

1:02:54.880 --> 1:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>for a ballot initiative, and I say to you, I

1:02:56.480 --> 1:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know you know, some people will rob a convenience

1:03:00.600 --> 1:03:02.439
<v Speaker 1>with a gun for twenty dollars and go to jail

1:03:02.480 --> 1:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>for twenty years. I mean, people do things. But in

1:03:06.240 --> 1:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the elections that we just saw, the margin of victory

1:03:11.480 --> 1:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>was so narrow in some of these cases that you

1:03:14.920 --> 1:03:18.640
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't need a big scheme of fraud at all to

1:03:18.800 --> 1:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>throw the election to one side or the other. I mean,

1:03:20.840 --> 1:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>when you're talking about a separation of just the thousands

1:03:23.800 --> 1:03:26.920
<v Speaker 1>or even hundreds of votes, that's not hard to do.

1:03:27.560 --> 1:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>That's not hard to rig. So I highlight the story

1:03:31.400 --> 1:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>just because you will continue to hear the left never

1:03:34.720 --> 1:03:36.959
<v Speaker 1>budgetes on this. They start off with there's no such

1:03:37.000 --> 1:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>thing as voter fraud, and they hope that people just

1:03:39.320 --> 1:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>believe that, and then when they're called out on that lie,

1:03:42.640 --> 1:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>they say, well, voter fraud is not a big problem.

1:03:44.680 --> 1:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not a real problem. No, it's a problem. It happens,

1:03:48.480 --> 1:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>people cheat in elections. Don't forget because they what they

1:03:52.080 --> 1:03:54.479
<v Speaker 1>want to do is make it seem like any voter

1:03:54.640 --> 1:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>integrity measures are about racism and voter suppression. That's their

1:04:00.280 --> 1:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>preferred storyline here, that's what they say it is. Meanwhile,

1:04:04.200 --> 1:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>oh no, it's actually about fraud and preventing it. Don't

1:04:09.080 --> 1:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>bring in the prospecting. I say, we trust until we don't.

1:04:20.120 --> 1:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>We got ourselves. Indeed, brother, you're in this Getting Out.

1:04:30.960 --> 1:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>That's from Mayans MC, a new show on FX just

1:04:35.440 --> 1:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>had its first season out this year. We have one

1:04:39.400 --> 1:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>of the actors from Mayans joining us now, Vincent Vargas.

1:04:43.360 --> 1:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>He's an Army vet and also the author of a

1:04:46.400 --> 1:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>new book, Light the Fuse, that is out now. Vincent,

1:04:49.720 --> 1:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for forgiving us some time. Thank you.

1:04:53.760 --> 1:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just honored to be out on hire. First of all,

1:04:56.680 --> 1:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>tell us how did you transition from being in the

1:04:59.720 --> 1:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>s VIS to being on a show that's a spinoff

1:05:03.400 --> 1:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>of Sons of Anarchy? How that happened? It was crazy.

1:05:07.440 --> 1:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I started out doing YouTube about six years ago. YouTube

1:05:10.720 --> 1:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>videos and if they're kind of progressed, you know, me

1:05:13.040 --> 1:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>and my friends producer own movie, and if they're kind

1:05:15.400 --> 1:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>of continue to progress and trying to grow in the space.

1:05:18.200 --> 1:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>So I didn't want to be a YouTube guy in

1:05:19.800 --> 1:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>my whole life. I want to try and step into

1:05:21.560 --> 1:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the mainstream media. And I went to one audition. They

1:05:24.320 --> 1:05:27.080
<v Speaker 1>needed a big Mexican with tattoos, and luckily I fit department.

1:05:28.080 --> 1:05:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Wait did you did you get? Did you really get

1:05:30.320 --> 1:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>your first audition? It went your way? That's and I

1:05:32.920 --> 1:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like in Hollywood that's like impossible. It never happened. Yeah,

1:05:36.400 --> 1:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>it's unheard of me. I've done so much work on

1:05:39.560 --> 1:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>my own from filming my own stuff, producing my own stuff.

1:05:42.200 --> 1:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>They had enough content to find to see what I

1:05:44.480 --> 1:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>was able to do in my capacity of acting and

1:05:46.960 --> 1:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>so um, you know, for the character it worked perfectly.

1:05:50.240 --> 1:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>So I was just very fortunate. And what do you

1:05:53.200 --> 1:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>do when you were in the army? Who was the

1:05:56.120 --> 1:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>second of the twenty fifth Range of Regiment. I did

1:05:57.920 --> 1:06:00.600
<v Speaker 1>that for four years, deployed three times with them, and

1:06:00.640 --> 1:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>then I got out and I'm still currently in the

1:06:02.560 --> 1:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>reserves right now. I'm an Army drill sergeant. Wow, okay, man, Well,

1:06:06.880 --> 1:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>tell me tell me a bit about this book that

1:06:08.960 --> 1:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>just you just have it out now, Light the fuse. Yeah,

1:06:13.400 --> 1:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>you know. Um, throughout the years of being being on

1:06:15.960 --> 1:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>social media and becoming you know, someone that people follow,

1:06:19.880 --> 1:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, and being out there to influence, I decided

1:06:21.960 --> 1:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to bring a lot of my life experiences

1:06:24.200 --> 1:06:26.919
<v Speaker 1>and put them on paper for others to follow. I've

1:06:26.920 --> 1:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>been doing a lot of public speaking about transitioning out

1:06:29.120 --> 1:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>of the military and and some of the toxic mindset

1:06:32.080 --> 1:06:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I've had myself. And what I wanted to do is

1:06:34.200 --> 1:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>put that on paper, you know. I wanted to give

1:06:35.880 --> 1:06:38.919
<v Speaker 1>people the honest answer. Here's what happened to me. Here's

1:06:38.920 --> 1:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the things that I went through. Here's the negatives and

1:06:40.640 --> 1:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the positives. What went well, what didn't go so well?

1:06:43.640 --> 1:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, And I felt that, you know, since I

1:06:45.320 --> 1:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>am in the limelight right now, if I can provide

1:06:48.360 --> 1:06:51.600
<v Speaker 1>some kind of value to two other veterans getting out

1:06:51.600 --> 1:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and having trouble transition, then so be it. Well, what

1:06:54.200 --> 1:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>were some of your challenges? I mean to talk us

1:06:56.040 --> 1:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>through some of this? Oh man? You know, being Special

1:06:59.640 --> 1:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Operation for so long, I was so dedicated to the job.

1:07:02.400 --> 1:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I committed to it more than I did my family. Um,

1:07:05.440 --> 1:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>and it cost me that, you know, I went through

1:07:07.760 --> 1:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I've been through two divorces now because of my addiction

1:07:10.960 --> 1:07:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to being good at my job, choosing work over family.

1:07:15.560 --> 1:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>And now at my age, I've missed so many years

1:07:18.520 --> 1:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>of my kids' lives, from birthdays to recitals, to to

1:07:21.480 --> 1:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to to births, that I refused to do that anymore.

1:07:24.920 --> 1:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>And I choose to say yet the family more often.

1:07:27.200 --> 1:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And this is something I talk about in the book

1:07:28.720 --> 1:07:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and balance. I try and balance my life. Uh, and

1:07:31.480 --> 1:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>it was never so balanced before, and so that's why

1:07:34.040 --> 1:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I was. You know, one of my struggles was, you know,

1:07:36.720 --> 1:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I became a single parent for kids, and now I

1:07:39.600 --> 1:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>had to balance my life. And so when that happened,

1:07:42.680 --> 1:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>it really changed my mindset of all the decisions i've

1:07:45.000 --> 1:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>i've I've made throughout the years of my career, and

1:07:48.520 --> 1:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>in that in that career transition, Vincent, when when you

1:07:51.560 --> 1:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>finally decided you were going to get into the content

1:07:54.720 --> 1:07:59.479
<v Speaker 1>creation business, how do you make that jump? It was tough.

1:07:59.520 --> 1:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, my friend is one of my friends, Matt Best.

1:08:01.920 --> 1:08:04.520
<v Speaker 1>We were arranged the town together. Oh your friends of Matt.

1:08:04.560 --> 1:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I love Matt from Black Rifle. I don't realize your

1:08:07.000 --> 1:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>matter of friends. That's great. I'm the big Mexican guy

1:08:10.280 --> 1:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>in all his videos. I didn't realize that something fun

1:08:14.600 --> 1:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>at it. You know, we were connected through Nick Irving

1:08:17.560 --> 1:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the Reaper. I didn't realize you and Matt Best are friends.

1:08:20.280 --> 1:08:22.519
<v Speaker 1>Now now you're like family. But continue on. You were

1:08:22.560 --> 1:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>saying yeah with me and Matt, we were in a

1:08:25.680 --> 1:08:28.439
<v Speaker 1>second right of the town he started Article fifteen clothing.

1:08:28.479 --> 1:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I lived in El Passo at the time. We started

1:08:30.360 --> 1:08:32.680
<v Speaker 1>doing videos together because he said they need can help it.

1:08:32.880 --> 1:08:35.640
<v Speaker 1>From there, it grown, it grew, you know, and I

1:08:36.080 --> 1:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>learned office by watching Matt and JT, the two guys

1:08:38.800 --> 1:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>who started article fifteen with the other guys, and so

1:08:41.080 --> 1:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>as I continue to watch their progress and how they

1:08:43.080 --> 1:08:44.880
<v Speaker 1>did it, you know, I was learning. I was just

1:08:44.920 --> 1:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>like a private on a job. I was sitting there

1:08:46.800 --> 1:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>and learning from them, learning what they do. And as

1:08:49.240 --> 1:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>they got to the point where I wanted to branch

1:08:50.880 --> 1:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>off and focus on what I felt more passionate about

1:08:53.479 --> 1:08:56.439
<v Speaker 1>was my family and helping veterans in my aspect and

1:08:56.479 --> 1:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>where I believed that was more powerful, and I decided

1:08:59.120 --> 1:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to go my own route, you know. And you know

1:09:01.080 --> 1:09:03.200
<v Speaker 1>we still owned less fingers with you together. You know,

1:09:03.240 --> 1:09:05.479
<v Speaker 1>we still work on several ventures together. But you know,

1:09:05.560 --> 1:09:07.639
<v Speaker 1>I had to focus on what I was more passionate about,

1:09:07.680 --> 1:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and it was it was trying to speak on the

1:09:09.880 --> 1:09:12.559
<v Speaker 1>transition side of things for veterans. If you could go

1:09:12.600 --> 1:09:16.200
<v Speaker 1>back and tell younger you, we're speaking of Vincent Vargas,

1:09:16.240 --> 1:09:19.120
<v Speaker 1>author of A light Diffuse Vincent do you go back

1:09:19.120 --> 1:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>and tell younger you, right when you were making that

1:09:22.000 --> 1:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>initial at that initial period, when you're transitioning out of

1:09:25.160 --> 1:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>special operations, what would that one piece of advice be,

1:09:31.160 --> 1:09:33.960
<v Speaker 1>And it would be not to slow down. I felt

1:09:34.000 --> 1:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that once I got stagnity, man, I started pointing fingers,

1:09:37.200 --> 1:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. And when I started pointing fingers,

1:09:39.600 --> 1:09:42.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, I let drinking uh slow me down and

1:09:42.600 --> 1:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>then and then it was just this downward spiral of

1:09:45.600 --> 1:09:50.439
<v Speaker 1>crap because, you know, because I was, oh, the fear

1:09:50.479 --> 1:09:52.439
<v Speaker 1>of missing out. I felt like I was missing out

1:09:52.439 --> 1:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>of what the guys are doing overseas. I was so

1:09:54.760 --> 1:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>worried about what they're doing. I stopped thinking about what

1:09:56.920 --> 1:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I was doing, and as they're continuing their lives I was,

1:10:00.240 --> 1:10:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I was detweeting. I was not. I was not improving,

1:10:03.520 --> 1:10:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and that killed me because it set me back several years,

1:10:06.439 --> 1:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I believe, you know, it's set me back a while

1:10:07.880 --> 1:10:10.639
<v Speaker 1>and for me to finally figure it out, I've actually

1:10:10.680 --> 1:10:12.639
<v Speaker 1>gotten into the border control and that started my path,

1:10:13.240 --> 1:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>but it really that was still just another I was

1:10:16.200 --> 1:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>still just doing the same job it was doing the

1:10:17.840 --> 1:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>military and NAT border control, you know. But I would

1:10:20.840 --> 1:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>definitely tell myself. Just keep going towards the mission. Keep

1:10:24.000 --> 1:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>keep moving, because once I got stagnant is when I

1:10:26.080 --> 1:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>really started feeling more depressed and having a lot of

1:10:28.280 --> 1:10:31.559
<v Speaker 1>issues with that. I hear you. I always tell myself,

1:10:31.560 --> 1:10:33.439
<v Speaker 1>and it's been a mantra that I've adopted for last

1:10:33.439 --> 1:10:36.280
<v Speaker 1>ten years. Just take action. Take action much better than

1:10:36.320 --> 1:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the alternative. First of all, Vincent, thank you for your service.

1:10:39.680 --> 1:10:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Good luck to you with the show Mayans, and also

1:10:43.560 --> 1:10:46.200
<v Speaker 1>with the book Light Diffuse. You can get it on Amazon.

1:10:46.560 --> 1:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>It's Vincent's stories, some advice and Vincent really appreciate you

1:10:50.680 --> 1:10:53.040
<v Speaker 1>joining and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours my friend.

1:10:53.080 --> 1:10:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Come back anytime for sure. Thank you very much. I

1:10:55.920 --> 1:10:58.599
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it all right, team, We'll be back in just

1:10:58.640 --> 1:11:02.839
<v Speaker 1>a few moments here with the Sean Parnell. So. Trump

1:11:02.960 --> 1:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>has gotten a lot of attention recently from people that

1:11:07.240 --> 1:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>want to criticize him over what he says about people

1:11:11.040 --> 1:11:14.679
<v Speaker 1>with military some people with military service, what he's done

1:11:15.000 --> 1:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>with regard to the troops and all of that. And

1:11:17.720 --> 1:11:20.040
<v Speaker 1>there's even this poll that they Hill where I work

1:11:20.600 --> 1:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>put out that says that eighty eight percent of people

1:11:24.479 --> 1:11:29.439
<v Speaker 1>want or believe the president should visit troops in war zones.

1:11:29.439 --> 1:11:31.879
<v Speaker 1>So I figured, let's actually bring somebody on. He's got

1:11:32.080 --> 1:11:37.880
<v Speaker 1>combat service in the military. Also a bestselling author, decorated

1:11:37.880 --> 1:11:40.320
<v Speaker 1>war hero, all around kick ass guy, a great American.

1:11:40.840 --> 1:11:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Sean Parnell is with us now, everybody. He is the

1:11:43.240 --> 1:11:48.040
<v Speaker 1>author of Outlaw Platoon, which is a nonfiction about his

1:11:48.080 --> 1:11:50.559
<v Speaker 1>time in Afghanistan. Great book. I've read it cover to cover.

1:11:50.880 --> 1:11:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Also the author of the new novel Man of War,

1:11:53.760 --> 1:11:56.320
<v Speaker 1>which is very highly regarded and doing very well. Mister

1:11:56.360 --> 1:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Sean Parnell, great to have you back. Hey, it is

1:11:59.280 --> 1:12:01.680
<v Speaker 1>great to be here. You're excited to be with you.

1:12:02.439 --> 1:12:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, my friend. So let's just start with some

1:12:05.080 --> 1:12:09.840
<v Speaker 1>of this, okay, because I feel like, on the one hand,

1:12:10.000 --> 1:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, you hear all this stuff about Trump all

1:12:11.920 --> 1:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the time, about how you're hearing from the media. Of

1:12:14.680 --> 1:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>course they're saying, well, Trump hasn't visited our troops in

1:12:19.120 --> 1:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the war zones. He hasn't been overseas to visit them.

1:12:21.800 --> 1:12:24.519
<v Speaker 1>And I always want to say, Okay, the poll about

1:12:24.600 --> 1:12:28.040
<v Speaker 1>whether Americans think that president should do that matters less

1:12:28.040 --> 1:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>to me than if we could get a poll of

1:12:30.640 --> 1:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>do the troops want him to visit do they really

1:12:33.240 --> 1:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>care about him visiting them in the war zones? Per se?

1:12:37.080 --> 1:12:38.519
<v Speaker 1>I just want to pose this to you, man, what

1:12:38.800 --> 1:12:40.439
<v Speaker 1>do you think I mean? Is this? Is this a

1:12:40.520 --> 1:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>miss Is this a misstep by the president? You know

1:12:44.160 --> 1:12:46.599
<v Speaker 1>what I do? It does bother me a little bit

1:12:46.640 --> 1:12:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that he hasn't visited the troops in either Iraq, Afghanistan

1:12:51.960 --> 1:12:55.559
<v Speaker 1>or somewhere else. Um. You know, his title was commander

1:12:55.600 --> 1:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in chief, and so I think that the president, whether

1:12:59.040 --> 1:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a Republican or Democrat, buck, I don't care, but

1:13:01.880 --> 1:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that the president has a duty and obligation

1:13:05.000 --> 1:13:09.639
<v Speaker 1>to our troops before anything else. He's their commander. And

1:13:09.720 --> 1:13:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, it would be kind of a pain when

1:13:11.200 --> 1:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>you're when you're in combat, you know, a VIP comes,

1:13:13.760 --> 1:13:15.559
<v Speaker 1>it's always kind of a pain to sort of seize

1:13:15.600 --> 1:13:18.519
<v Speaker 1>combat operations and get out of your get out of

1:13:18.520 --> 1:13:21.280
<v Speaker 1>your rhythm a little bit to accommodate those types of visitors.

1:13:21.280 --> 1:13:24.439
<v Speaker 1>Everybody hates the dog and pony show, but I do

1:13:24.560 --> 1:13:29.000
<v Speaker 1>think that deep down inside the troops, like when you're

1:13:29.000 --> 1:13:33.439
<v Speaker 1>in those types of situations, it does matter that it

1:13:33.479 --> 1:13:36.959
<v Speaker 1>does matter to them, man. I mean, it's really important

1:13:37.000 --> 1:13:40.479
<v Speaker 1>to know that the president your commander in chief has

1:13:40.520 --> 1:13:42.719
<v Speaker 1>your back when you're in the field and you're putting

1:13:43.040 --> 1:13:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're putting your life on the line every

1:13:44.920 --> 1:13:48.479
<v Speaker 1>single day when you're over there. I mean, you know,

1:13:48.520 --> 1:13:50.680
<v Speaker 1>in many cases, I mean, you you convince yourself that

1:13:50.720 --> 1:13:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you're living on borrowed time, and you want to know

1:13:53.080 --> 1:13:55.599
<v Speaker 1>that the mission worth it. And I think I think

1:13:55.600 --> 1:13:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the President communicates that the mission is worth it by

1:13:58.120 --> 1:14:02.360
<v Speaker 1>simply showing up, you know. And so you know. On

1:14:02.400 --> 1:14:04.679
<v Speaker 1>the other hand, that the president's only been in office,

1:14:04.960 --> 1:14:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what two years now, so he has some time,

1:14:07.840 --> 1:14:09.439
<v Speaker 1>but I would like him to make it a priority

1:14:09.479 --> 1:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>because I do think it's important. Why do you think

1:14:12.120 --> 1:14:14.679
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't gone. I mean, I feel like the two

1:14:14.760 --> 1:14:19.080
<v Speaker 1>groups that this president deep down does have a lot

1:14:19.120 --> 1:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>of respect for at his core and is pretty unwavering

1:14:23.439 --> 1:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>on in terms of the way he feels about them

1:14:25.280 --> 1:14:29.400
<v Speaker 1>in general, our military and law enforcement. I agree, I agree,

1:14:29.400 --> 1:14:31.640
<v Speaker 1>And it's it's difficult to know. I think, you know,

1:14:31.680 --> 1:14:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I read an article today about Maddis telling him that

1:14:36.320 --> 1:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>he should be hesitant about visiting war zones, and I'm

1:14:39.200 --> 1:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>not entirely sure why, uh SECTF Mattis gave him that advice.

1:14:44.600 --> 1:14:46.519
<v Speaker 1>But if I if I were advising the president, I

1:14:46.520 --> 1:14:49.000
<v Speaker 1>would I would tell him, Look, you know, the Secret

1:14:49.000 --> 1:14:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Service is gonna is gonna have your back when you're

1:14:50.760 --> 1:14:53.240
<v Speaker 1>over there. They're gonna make sure that you're safe while

1:14:53.280 --> 1:14:56.040
<v Speaker 1>you're in these war zones. But you gotta go. We

1:14:56.120 --> 1:14:58.720
<v Speaker 1>gotta make time for it on the schedule. Uh, just

1:14:58.760 --> 1:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to sho Like I said before, like so much of

1:15:02.000 --> 1:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>being a leader, whether you're a combat leader or some

1:15:06.240 --> 1:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>sort of political leader in Washington, it's just you just

1:15:08.840 --> 1:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta show up. You gotta show up and show that

1:15:11.040 --> 1:15:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you care. And it's inconvenient, you know, it takes time.

1:15:14.880 --> 1:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>On there's a lot of things that the president needs

1:15:17.040 --> 1:15:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to be focused on here domestically. In fact, his agenda

1:15:19.960 --> 1:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>putting it putting America First is a major part of

1:15:23.160 --> 1:15:26.280
<v Speaker 1>his agenda. But there are troops serving in harm's way,

1:15:26.320 --> 1:15:27.599
<v Speaker 1>and I do think he needs to make the time

1:15:27.600 --> 1:15:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to go talk to them and meet them because it

1:15:29.000 --> 1:15:31.960
<v Speaker 1>is important. Do you think that he's also is he

1:15:32.080 --> 1:15:34.720
<v Speaker 1>starting to develop a problem with you know, he went

1:15:34.760 --> 1:15:37.400
<v Speaker 1>after McRaven a little bit, and mcgraven goes after him, right,

1:15:37.400 --> 1:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>and mcgraven's a Democrat, just you know, he's a Democrat

1:15:40.000 --> 1:15:41.880
<v Speaker 1>and served his country only. But the guy's a Democrat

1:15:41.920 --> 1:15:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and he got into the political realm, right. I mean

1:15:43.439 --> 1:15:45.160
<v Speaker 1>this is you know, we can try to we can

1:15:45.200 --> 1:15:47.640
<v Speaker 1>walk and cho gum, we can separate these things as

1:15:47.800 --> 1:15:50.479
<v Speaker 1>as adults do. But that said, I mean, you know,

1:15:50.600 --> 1:15:53.360
<v Speaker 1>now people always saying, you know, he went after McCain's service,

1:15:53.400 --> 1:15:57.719
<v Speaker 1>he made that crack about you know, getting bin laden faster,

1:15:57.960 --> 1:15:59.559
<v Speaker 1>and you know there's some of this stuff. Do you

1:15:59.560 --> 1:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>think he is he creating a problem for himself with

1:16:02.080 --> 1:16:03.960
<v Speaker 1>this where even even some of his Look, I mean

1:16:03.960 --> 1:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting here, I'm I'm a pretty strong Trump defender,

1:16:06.200 --> 1:16:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, I kind of wish he would just

1:16:08.439 --> 1:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>not do that thing. Sometimes I agree. I mean, look,

1:16:13.560 --> 1:16:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like when he went after McCain. I thought

1:16:15.800 --> 1:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that was tasteless and unnecessary, and I called him out

1:16:18.320 --> 1:16:21.720
<v Speaker 1>on it. Then. Um, you know, but I think that

1:16:21.840 --> 1:16:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the mcgraven comment, you know, I mean, people don't like

1:16:26.720 --> 1:16:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump's style. I get that, but everybody wanted to catch

1:16:30.040 --> 1:16:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Bin Lauden sooner, and I think, what Trump? You know,

1:16:32.280 --> 1:16:35.680
<v Speaker 1>He later Clarifier's remarks to say, like, look, we had

1:16:35.720 --> 1:16:39.519
<v Speaker 1>ample opportunity from Clinton to president Bush or well, mostly

1:16:39.640 --> 1:16:43.400
<v Speaker 1>under Clinton's presidency, we had ample opportunity to go after

1:16:43.439 --> 1:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and catch Bin Lauden before nine to eleven happened. And

1:16:45.640 --> 1:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>while I think his comments could have been phrased better

1:16:49.040 --> 1:16:52.240
<v Speaker 1>and made into less of an attack on McRaven, I

1:16:52.280 --> 1:16:55.519
<v Speaker 1>mean I think everybody. I think everybody would have liked

1:16:55.520 --> 1:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>to catch Bin Ladden sooner and faster than that. I

1:16:59.800 --> 1:17:01.400
<v Speaker 1>just think that one that was more of a of

1:17:01.400 --> 1:17:03.280
<v Speaker 1>a the way Trump speaks thing instead of it. I

1:17:03.320 --> 1:17:05.479
<v Speaker 1>don't think Trump is trying to be disrespectful to anybody

1:17:05.520 --> 1:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>in uh yeah. But but I also I'm always torn

1:17:08.320 --> 1:17:09.920
<v Speaker 1>with this say I don't have a problem. I don't

1:17:09.920 --> 1:17:11.840
<v Speaker 1>have a problem with Trump. I don't have a problem

1:17:11.880 --> 1:17:14.920
<v Speaker 1>with with the president. You're exercising his First Amendment right

1:17:15.120 --> 1:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>to criticize who he wants to criticize, like this, this

1:17:17.800 --> 1:17:20.920
<v Speaker 1>idea that you know, oh well, it's it's not presidential,

1:17:20.920 --> 1:17:23.559
<v Speaker 1>And I guess I just I find myself scratching my

1:17:23.600 --> 1:17:27.080
<v Speaker 1>head at well, who gets to define what's presidential? You know?

1:17:27.439 --> 1:17:30.840
<v Speaker 1>To me, I part of what I like about Trump,

1:17:30.880 --> 1:17:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and I think part of what his appeal is to

1:17:32.479 --> 1:17:35.559
<v Speaker 1>the masses. And believe me, I'm surrounded by blue dog

1:17:35.600 --> 1:17:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Democrats out here that are gonna vote for him again

1:17:37.920 --> 1:17:40.479
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty. There's no question about it. Part of

1:17:40.479 --> 1:17:43.000
<v Speaker 1>his appeal is that he doesn't always say the things

1:17:43.000 --> 1:17:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that you like, but at least you know he means

1:17:44.800 --> 1:17:48.120
<v Speaker 1>what he's saying, you know, And there's a certain appeal

1:17:48.160 --> 1:17:51.800
<v Speaker 1>to that. And whether whether or not it's it's you know,

1:17:51.840 --> 1:17:54.639
<v Speaker 1>people just think that he's authentic Buck, and I think

1:17:54.640 --> 1:17:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that that is the appeal. Whether you like what he

1:17:56.680 --> 1:17:59.920
<v Speaker 1>says or not, people people feel that he is being

1:18:00.080 --> 1:18:04.320
<v Speaker 1>honest with them. Yeah, well that's for sure. Definitely definitely

1:18:04.400 --> 1:18:07.799
<v Speaker 1>lets it fly. So you know, there's some interesting, interesting

1:18:07.840 --> 1:18:10.240
<v Speaker 1>shades here to the conversation with the president. But I

1:18:10.280 --> 1:18:13.080
<v Speaker 1>want to switch gears because obviously, Sean, we're all going

1:18:13.120 --> 1:18:15.519
<v Speaker 1>to be stuff in our faces here pretty soon. It

1:18:15.680 --> 1:18:18.320
<v Speaker 1>is the one day of the year, I guess, other

1:18:18.320 --> 1:18:21.040
<v Speaker 1>than your birthday with birthday cake, when it's just expected

1:18:21.280 --> 1:18:22.960
<v Speaker 1>that you're going to loosen up the belt and go

1:18:23.040 --> 1:18:25.719
<v Speaker 1>for it big time. What are some of the either

1:18:25.800 --> 1:18:30.559
<v Speaker 1>culinary secrets or wonderful Thanksgiving traditions of the the Parnell

1:18:30.600 --> 1:18:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Crew stretching back for generations. Well, we all I mean,

1:18:34.439 --> 1:18:36.640
<v Speaker 1>we always do turkey, and we always do gravy, we

1:18:36.680 --> 1:18:39.759
<v Speaker 1>always have ham, and on occasion we'll we'll have pasta,

1:18:39.920 --> 1:18:42.120
<v Speaker 1>right because I come from you know, half of my

1:18:42.200 --> 1:18:48.160
<v Speaker 1>family as Italian, so we do spaghetti with meatballs as well. Um,

1:18:48.200 --> 1:18:51.120
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, and I think, I think for us,

1:18:51.000 --> 1:18:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the most important thing about Thanksgiving is you know, getting

1:18:54.920 --> 1:18:59.240
<v Speaker 1>together with your family and celebrating family. You know, all

1:18:59.280 --> 1:19:01.120
<v Speaker 1>too often in our culture today, I mean it's like,

1:19:01.840 --> 1:19:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we I feel like in many cases, we

1:19:04.840 --> 1:19:08.080
<v Speaker 1>don't focus on the things that matter to us enough

1:19:08.520 --> 1:19:10.679
<v Speaker 1>and just like take a deep breath and look around

1:19:10.760 --> 1:19:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and appreciate the things that we have. And part of

1:19:14.000 --> 1:19:17.200
<v Speaker 1>what I try to do with with with my family

1:19:17.200 --> 1:19:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and my kids, especially as teach them to appreciate the

1:19:22.160 --> 1:19:24.960
<v Speaker 1>food on the table, because I mean, you know, having

1:19:25.000 --> 1:19:28.439
<v Speaker 1>been deployed to Afghanistan and was in Korea and really

1:19:28.439 --> 1:19:31.160
<v Speaker 1>been all over the world during my time in the army,

1:19:32.479 --> 1:19:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the other countries don't have the same things that we do.

1:19:35.760 --> 1:19:39.160
<v Speaker 1>And while it's while you do appreciate other cultures and

1:19:39.240 --> 1:19:42.160
<v Speaker 1>the time spent in those countries, for the most part,

1:19:42.640 --> 1:19:45.720
<v Speaker 1>it's always nice to come home and just be able to,

1:19:45.800 --> 1:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>like go to the grocery store and get every type

1:19:51.040 --> 1:19:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of food you can possibly imagine and spread it all

1:19:53.840 --> 1:19:56.240
<v Speaker 1>over the table and eat and then eat again, and

1:19:56.280 --> 1:19:58.400
<v Speaker 1>then eat again right before you go to bed. I mean,

1:19:58.400 --> 1:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just something that other countries don't have, and it's

1:20:01.320 --> 1:20:05.120
<v Speaker 1>something that I think that our kids, especially the next generation,

<v Speaker 1>thanksgiving everybody you two man. All right, Timmy, I'm more

1:20:54.960 --> 1:20:57.960
<v Speaker 1>on the way stay with us. Background checks can be

1:20:58.080 --> 1:21:02.400
<v Speaker 1>a sensitive situation. Usually you go through with them, they're fine, right,

1:21:02.439 --> 1:21:05.800
<v Speaker 1>But what about those murkier cases. What about where there's

1:21:05.840 --> 1:21:07.720
<v Speaker 1>a red flag that comes up. You don't want your

1:21:07.840 --> 1:21:10.240
<v Speaker 1>HR department to make any mistakes. You want them to

1:21:10.280 --> 1:21:13.160
<v Speaker 1>have the information they need. That's why you need Global

1:21:13.320 --> 1:21:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Verification Network. Global Verification Network is the only dual certified

1:21:17.800 --> 1:21:21.879
<v Speaker 1>veteran owned background investigation and vetting company. They are federally

1:21:21.880 --> 1:21:24.200
<v Speaker 1>certified as a veteran owned small business. I know the

1:21:24.320 --> 1:21:27.120
<v Speaker 1>CEO personally, Mark Buckman. He is a great guy and

1:21:27.240 --> 1:21:29.479
<v Speaker 1>his whole team will make sure that you get the

1:21:29.520 --> 1:21:33.719
<v Speaker 1>best service and the most efficient possible answers to your

1:21:33.760 --> 1:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>cases when it comes to background investigation and vetting. This

1:21:37.320 --> 1:21:39.320
<v Speaker 1>is who you want, no matter how big or small

1:21:39.360 --> 1:21:41.880
<v Speaker 1>your company is, to be doing your background checks. And

1:21:41.920 --> 1:21:43.839
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna have a company, you gotta have background

1:21:43.920 --> 1:21:48.519
<v Speaker 1>checks for employees. Go to MYGVN dot com. That's MYGVN

1:21:48.600 --> 1:21:52.120
<v Speaker 1>dot com or call eight seven seven six nine five

1:21:52.520 --> 1:21:56.120
<v Speaker 1>one one seven nine Global Verification Network. Leave no stone

1:21:56.240 --> 1:21:59.160
<v Speaker 1>unturned this case. We have students that are not prepared

1:21:59.320 --> 1:22:02.240
<v Speaker 1>or not doing Also, we say perhaps we can solve

1:22:02.240 --> 1:22:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the problem by capital or not capital letters. And it's

1:22:06.040 --> 1:22:09.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of like it's a depressing moment the entire life

1:22:09.640 --> 1:22:12.800
<v Speaker 1>in academian. We used to think that British intellectual life

1:22:12.880 --> 1:22:15.200
<v Speaker 1>was the hallmark of the Western world and that whatever

1:22:15.280 --> 1:22:18.479
<v Speaker 1>mistakes we made, we could look toward Britain. This was

1:22:18.560 --> 1:22:21.519
<v Speaker 1>TS Eliott and C. S. Lewis and the Regions professor

1:22:21.520 --> 1:22:24.639
<v Speaker 1>of Greek at Oxford. And to think that they've fallen

1:22:24.640 --> 1:22:29.000
<v Speaker 1>into the same sad political correctness that we have is

1:22:29.000 --> 1:22:31.599
<v Speaker 1>really depressing. Maybe too many people are going to college,

1:22:31.880 --> 1:22:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, you think that we're losing this generation in

1:22:36.160 --> 1:22:39.200
<v Speaker 1>the West that is worried about capital letters. They're not

1:22:39.240 --> 1:22:42.000
<v Speaker 1>having children, they're not getting married, they're not buying homes,

1:22:42.479 --> 1:22:45.280
<v Speaker 1>they're prolonging their adolescence. And maybe it's they shouldn't be

1:22:45.320 --> 1:22:48.080
<v Speaker 1>in university and they could be much better and noble

1:22:48.120 --> 1:22:51.639
<v Speaker 1>professions like plumbing, electricity, that we really need trade schools.

1:22:52.160 --> 1:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>But something's gone wrong with the university and it's not

1:22:55.160 --> 1:22:58.479
<v Speaker 1>just pernicious to the student, but it's starting to affect

1:22:58.479 --> 1:23:02.880
<v Speaker 1>the entire society at aren't Victor Davis Hansen make making

1:23:02.960 --> 1:23:05.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot of sense? There? I would not Major Davis

1:23:05.800 --> 1:23:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Hansen saying a lot of things that well, we've been

1:23:10.479 --> 1:23:13.800
<v Speaker 1>noticing for a while here in the Freedom Hut. But

1:23:13.920 --> 1:23:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tell you this was a new one for me,

1:23:16.560 --> 1:23:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the banning of capital letters. I had never come across

1:23:23.479 --> 1:23:26.479
<v Speaker 1>this as a thing before. It turns out that at

1:23:27.120 --> 1:23:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Leeds Trinity University, which I guess is in the UK,

1:23:32.800 --> 1:23:38.839
<v Speaker 1>they've been told in the journalism department to avoid capital letters,

1:23:39.920 --> 1:23:43.600
<v Speaker 1>and I just I don't that's usually ago, Okay, I

1:23:43.680 --> 1:23:47.200
<v Speaker 1>know why they think this is offensive or that is offensive,

1:23:47.960 --> 1:23:51.840
<v Speaker 1>but they think in the journalism department, remember, journalism is

1:23:51.840 --> 1:23:54.920
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be about getting to truth. Journalism is supposed

1:23:54.920 --> 1:23:59.439
<v Speaker 1>to be about the exchange and dissemination of ideas, and

1:24:00.479 --> 1:24:03.720
<v Speaker 1>in that department they think that that capital letters could

1:24:03.800 --> 1:24:09.639
<v Speaker 1>quote scare them into failure and instead suggesting using a

1:24:09.680 --> 1:24:14.679
<v Speaker 1>friendly tone and avoid the use of negative language in general.

1:24:15.760 --> 1:24:17.719
<v Speaker 1>I gotta say, if you're going to be a journalist

1:24:17.720 --> 1:24:19.960
<v Speaker 1>who's worth reading, you're going to have to use a

1:24:20.120 --> 1:24:24.160
<v Speaker 1>very very negative toad on a lot of issues, and

1:24:24.280 --> 1:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>certainly on the modern academy's view of creating a completely

1:24:30.960 --> 1:24:34.320
<v Speaker 1>cloistered life of the mind, I mean creating this life

1:24:34.320 --> 1:24:37.680
<v Speaker 1>of the mind that doesn't have to deal with the

1:24:37.680 --> 1:24:42.920
<v Speaker 1>trials and tribulations of being an adult who is engaging

1:24:42.920 --> 1:24:45.759
<v Speaker 1>with the world around him. This is the snowflake syndrome.

1:24:45.800 --> 1:24:48.360
<v Speaker 1>And we know all about this, but this was a

1:24:48.360 --> 1:24:50.799
<v Speaker 1>new one for me. I've never heard of banning capital

1:24:50.840 --> 1:24:54.680
<v Speaker 1>banning capital letters before, and I just had to note that.

1:24:55.200 --> 1:24:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Victor Davis Headson is like, what is going on? It's

1:24:58.000 --> 1:24:59.960
<v Speaker 1>not just here in America. I don't know if we

1:25:00.120 --> 1:25:03.080
<v Speaker 1>take comfort in that or if it should make us

1:25:03.080 --> 1:25:07.640
<v Speaker 1>even more scared. But it's not only in America that

1:25:07.680 --> 1:25:11.800
<v Speaker 1>we have this. It's it's in broader Western society now,

1:25:12.640 --> 1:25:15.479
<v Speaker 1>and and it just makes me think about how there

1:25:15.479 --> 1:25:17.640
<v Speaker 1>are these other countries where they don't they don't have

1:25:17.680 --> 1:25:21.200
<v Speaker 1>this problem. You know, they're they're very sure of themselves.

1:25:21.240 --> 1:25:24.599
<v Speaker 1>Maybe those countries and those cultures shouldn't be, but they're

1:25:24.640 --> 1:25:28.720
<v Speaker 1>not constantly being taught and teaching their next generation to

1:25:28.800 --> 1:25:32.479
<v Speaker 1>undermine them, undermine themselves, you know, to think less of

1:25:32.520 --> 1:25:34.960
<v Speaker 1>their abilities in the world, think less of their role

1:25:35.000 --> 1:25:38.840
<v Speaker 1>in the world. I found this New York Times piece

1:25:39.000 --> 1:25:43.320
<v Speaker 1>speaking of all this really interesting on China and how

1:25:43.400 --> 1:25:48.280
<v Speaker 1>China is influencing our culture American culture in one of

1:25:48.280 --> 1:25:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the most powerful ways that it can. Think about this

1:25:50.840 --> 1:25:54.200
<v Speaker 1>for a moment. How many movies have you seen the

1:25:54.280 --> 1:25:59.680
<v Speaker 1>last ten years where China are only near peer economic

1:25:59.760 --> 1:26:02.439
<v Speaker 1>and military competitor. How many movies have you seen where

1:26:02.520 --> 1:26:07.120
<v Speaker 1>China isn't even necessarily the bad guy but is depicted

1:26:07.240 --> 1:26:11.360
<v Speaker 1>in an unflattering light. How many times have you seen

1:26:12.200 --> 1:26:17.840
<v Speaker 1>a major Hollywood picture recently where China was, you know,

1:26:18.200 --> 1:26:22.240
<v Speaker 1>in any way being undermined, or you know, you talked

1:26:22.240 --> 1:26:25.960
<v Speaker 1>about Chinese human rights issues things like that. Oh, there's

1:26:26.000 --> 1:26:29.920
<v Speaker 1>a reason for that, and it's that the Chinese market

1:26:30.600 --> 1:26:33.080
<v Speaker 1>is so large and so powerful that now they're making

1:26:33.160 --> 1:26:38.160
<v Speaker 1>demands about how the American market depicts them. That's right,

1:26:38.800 --> 1:26:44.960
<v Speaker 1>China is dictating to Hollywood how Hollywood will show Chinese

1:26:45.080 --> 1:26:49.519
<v Speaker 1>issues in movies. And I don't mean Chinese language movies.

1:26:49.600 --> 1:26:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean movies specifically about China. I mean blockbusters

1:26:54.000 --> 1:26:58.599
<v Speaker 1>like Mission Impossible series, movies, stuff like that. You'll start

1:26:58.640 --> 1:27:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to look at the list here, or if you go

1:27:00.400 --> 1:27:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to this New York Times article and go, wow, China's

1:27:03.040 --> 1:27:06.120
<v Speaker 1>involved in some very very big movies, and you know,

1:27:06.160 --> 1:27:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the most the most clear example of this is that

1:27:09.800 --> 1:27:13.960
<v Speaker 1>in Red Dawn Wolverines in Red Dawn, which is about

1:27:14.040 --> 1:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the Soviet and Cuban invasion of the United States. It's

1:27:19.000 --> 1:27:22.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of a cult film. I mean a lot of

1:27:22.720 --> 1:27:25.040
<v Speaker 1>you like book. It's amazing. I mean it's okay, it

1:27:25.040 --> 1:27:27.720
<v Speaker 1>has its moments. They made they did a remake of

1:27:27.720 --> 1:27:32.839
<v Speaker 1>it in twenty twelve, and Red Dawn remade was supposed

1:27:32.880 --> 1:27:38.080
<v Speaker 1>to have the Chinese invading an American town. But guess what.

1:27:39.000 --> 1:27:44.160
<v Speaker 1>MGM spent a million dollars digitally erasing evidence of the

1:27:44.280 --> 1:27:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Chinese army in every single frame and substituted North Korea

1:27:50.320 --> 1:27:53.759
<v Speaker 1>for China. That's originally it was an invasion by China,

1:27:53.880 --> 1:27:56.719
<v Speaker 1>and then they changed it's that it was an invasion

1:27:57.400 --> 1:28:01.800
<v Speaker 1>by North Korea. And this was at the request of

1:28:02.560 --> 1:28:06.679
<v Speaker 1>the Chinese government slash Chinese market, meaning their box office.

1:28:07.160 --> 1:28:10.120
<v Speaker 1>They even got rid of a character called the Ancient

1:28:10.200 --> 1:28:13.439
<v Speaker 1>One from Marvel Comics, who was an elderly Tibetan man,

1:28:14.000 --> 1:28:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and replaced him in the Doctor Strange movie in twenty sixteen,

1:28:17.720 --> 1:28:22.640
<v Speaker 1>with the actress Tilda Swinton playing a Celtic version of

1:28:22.680 --> 1:28:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the Ancient One. So they turned a Tibetan into an Irishman,

1:28:27.840 --> 1:28:30.519
<v Speaker 1>which probably was a surprise to fans of the comics,

1:28:31.040 --> 1:28:37.599
<v Speaker 1>and the movie Seven Years in Tibet, for example, really

1:28:37.720 --> 1:28:40.920
<v Speaker 1>upset Hollywood so much so that Brad Pitt isn't welcome,

1:28:40.960 --> 1:28:44.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, upset China so much so that Brad Pitt

1:28:44.600 --> 1:28:48.479
<v Speaker 1>isn't welcome in China now because he starred in that movie.

1:28:48.920 --> 1:28:52.880
<v Speaker 1>So they're involved in co financing more and more of

1:28:52.880 --> 1:28:54.920
<v Speaker 1>our own films. Now. Part of this is obviously an

1:28:54.960 --> 1:28:59.280
<v Speaker 1>economic incentive, but politics is downstream of culture and our

1:28:59.360 --> 1:29:02.519
<v Speaker 1>perception of ourselves visa each China in the world are

1:29:02.560 --> 1:29:07.439
<v Speaker 1>affected by the mass media depictions that we see. Oh

1:29:07.479 --> 1:29:10.080
<v Speaker 1>it also explains why the movie Great Wall was made.

1:29:10.479 --> 1:29:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I told you that Matt Damon Great Wall movie was

1:29:12.640 --> 1:29:14.680
<v Speaker 1>so bad that I couldn't get through ten minutes of it.

1:29:15.240 --> 1:29:19.880
<v Speaker 1>That was Chinese financed one hundred and fifty million dollar

1:29:20.320 --> 1:29:23.680
<v Speaker 1>China Hollywood coproduction, and it was a complete flop. I mean,

1:29:23.720 --> 1:29:26.960
<v Speaker 1>it was a true it was an unintentional disaster movie

1:29:27.000 --> 1:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>as in the movie itself was a disaster. But you

1:29:29.760 --> 1:29:35.400
<v Speaker 1>see these indicators, these early indicators right now, and there's

1:29:35.439 --> 1:29:36.920
<v Speaker 1>only one way this is going, and that is that

1:29:37.000 --> 1:29:40.240
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be a cultural and perception struggle that

1:29:40.280 --> 1:29:42.599
<v Speaker 1>we have with China. And I just note that while

1:29:42.600 --> 1:29:45.200
<v Speaker 1>we're being told don't use capital letters because it could

1:29:45.280 --> 1:29:47.960
<v Speaker 1>scare us, and you know, we need to deal with

1:29:48.000 --> 1:29:51.639
<v Speaker 1>our history of colonialism and racism, China is being told

1:29:52.040 --> 1:29:55.840
<v Speaker 1>your rightful place in the world is number one. All

1:29:55.880 --> 1:29:58.880
<v Speaker 1>their kids, all their generations coming up, that's going to

1:29:58.960 --> 1:30:02.439
<v Speaker 1>have an effect. So Thanksgiving as a holiday, but is

1:30:02.520 --> 1:30:07.680
<v Speaker 1>it non controversial? Is the notion of coming together with

1:30:07.840 --> 1:30:11.560
<v Speaker 1>friends and family to show our thanks for the blessings

1:30:11.600 --> 1:30:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and the good things in our lives? Is that something

1:30:14.280 --> 1:30:16.680
<v Speaker 1>that we can all get behind? Or are there social

1:30:16.760 --> 1:30:21.559
<v Speaker 1>justice warriors a little bit upset at the prospect of

1:30:21.640 --> 1:30:27.040
<v Speaker 1>this thing called Thanksgiving? Is there some basis upon which,

1:30:27.840 --> 1:30:30.920
<v Speaker 1>or for which through which whatever the proper preposition is

1:30:31.680 --> 1:30:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that they can express their outrage about Thanksgiving? And now

1:30:36.400 --> 1:30:40.200
<v Speaker 1>was there something? Oh, that's right? There is a sense

1:30:40.280 --> 1:30:43.920
<v Speaker 1>out there amongst some on the left that Thanksgiving is,

1:30:43.960 --> 1:30:47.840
<v Speaker 1>in fact not just a day when we all eat

1:30:47.880 --> 1:30:50.960
<v Speaker 1>too much. I think the average Thanksgiving feast comes in

1:30:51.040 --> 1:30:54.080
<v Speaker 1>at something like thirty two hundred calories. There's something just

1:30:55.560 --> 1:31:00.360
<v Speaker 1>very gluttonous. Don't worry I'll top that. But is that?

1:31:00.400 --> 1:31:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, that's right. There's more than that, because Thanksgiving,

1:31:03.560 --> 1:31:09.160
<v Speaker 1>according to some folks on the social justice left, is racist.

1:31:09.520 --> 1:31:12.160
<v Speaker 1>The hosting event called thanks but no Thanksgiving. It's about

1:31:12.280 --> 1:31:16.640
<v Speaker 1>decolonizing all of it, about finding the racial problems and

1:31:16.720 --> 1:31:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the cultural problems with it. What do you think about that?

1:31:19.040 --> 1:31:24.800
<v Speaker 1>That's great? I mean, but like doesn't help natives, does it. Yeah,

1:31:24.840 --> 1:31:30.479
<v Speaker 1>there's definitely a racial history or a racist history to Thanksgiving, Okay,

1:31:30.760 --> 1:31:35.759
<v Speaker 1>and that should probably definitely be addressed more um in education.

1:31:36.160 --> 1:31:41.200
<v Speaker 1>The whole concept of like taking land and assigning of

1:31:41.280 --> 1:31:44.479
<v Speaker 1>value to it through costs, just like it was different

1:31:44.479 --> 1:31:47.320
<v Speaker 1>through European cultures. Oh, I mean, yeah, sure there are

1:31:47.400 --> 1:31:50.479
<v Speaker 1>racist aspects of its history that What would you find racist? Um,

1:31:50.520 --> 1:31:55.040
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we're celebrating taking away land from natives? Okay, Okay,

1:31:55.040 --> 1:31:58.320
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty racist. Well, it's just about like honestly, like,

1:31:58.360 --> 1:32:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not super ucated on the topic, but I just

1:32:01.479 --> 1:32:04.800
<v Speaker 1>know that it has to do with the way that

1:32:04.920 --> 1:32:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the settlers kind of treated the the native the natives

1:32:12.160 --> 1:32:14.880
<v Speaker 1>who lived here. Now that audio comes to us from

1:32:14.960 --> 1:32:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Campus Reform, and they do this, right, they go around

1:32:17.880 --> 1:32:22.240
<v Speaker 1>on college campuses and they ask people questions to illustrate

1:32:22.880 --> 1:32:26.960
<v Speaker 1>prevailing attitudes among college kids, usually about political issues, but

1:32:27.000 --> 1:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>on this one Thanksgiving, and it goes on and on,

1:32:29.160 --> 1:32:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and to be fair, there are some young people they

1:32:31.920 --> 1:32:33.559
<v Speaker 1>ask who go, well, you know, I really think it's

1:32:33.600 --> 1:32:36.439
<v Speaker 1>more about giving thanks and coming together as families, really

1:32:36.479 --> 1:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>not about racism or colonialism. But I also want to

1:32:40.400 --> 1:32:43.120
<v Speaker 1>point out that, you know, for a lot of these

1:32:43.640 --> 1:32:47.200
<v Speaker 1>young folks, and myself and my peer group and really

1:32:47.200 --> 1:32:52.080
<v Speaker 1>anyone included in this, sometimes it's it's I think too easy,

1:32:52.439 --> 1:32:55.200
<v Speaker 1>and we can be too quick to point at them

1:32:55.200 --> 1:32:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and be like, oh, they're so ignorant, Look at them.

1:32:57.920 --> 1:33:00.479
<v Speaker 1>They don't know anything about this, and so just saying

1:33:00.479 --> 1:33:03.240
<v Speaker 1>it's racist because they're so dumb, I mean, sometimes that's

1:33:03.280 --> 1:33:07.280
<v Speaker 1>really warranted. But there's a component here that I can't

1:33:07.280 --> 1:33:09.000
<v Speaker 1>help but notice, and that is like, how many of

1:33:09.120 --> 1:33:12.559
<v Speaker 1>us really know a detailed history of Thanksgiving off the

1:33:12.600 --> 1:33:15.200
<v Speaker 1>top of our head. Very few, very few? In fact,

1:33:15.240 --> 1:33:17.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, we kind of know something about, you know,

1:33:17.520 --> 1:33:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the Pilgrims and Squanto and the natives, and there's some

1:33:22.760 --> 1:33:25.559
<v Speaker 1>food exchange and there was maybe a tough harvest that

1:33:25.640 --> 1:33:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, we don't really get too into the details.

1:33:28.800 --> 1:33:32.519
<v Speaker 1>And I think that instead of viewing this all the

1:33:32.560 --> 1:33:35.000
<v Speaker 1>time as oh, look at these look at these kids

1:33:35.000 --> 1:33:38.080
<v Speaker 1>who have been brainwashed, I also think it's look at

1:33:38.760 --> 1:33:41.559
<v Speaker 1>on a college campus, for example, look at the kind

1:33:41.560 --> 1:33:46.240
<v Speaker 1>of totalitarian left wing echo chamber that they all live in,

1:33:46.800 --> 1:33:52.679
<v Speaker 1>such that it's not strange and it's not even beyond

1:33:52.760 --> 1:33:57.240
<v Speaker 1>our comprehension why they would take this position. You know,

1:33:57.280 --> 1:34:00.680
<v Speaker 1>if they have any doubt, say it's ray. And I

1:34:00.720 --> 1:34:02.960
<v Speaker 1>don't mean that because they think it's racist. I mean

1:34:03.080 --> 1:34:08.000
<v Speaker 1>as a form of self preservation. That's where the culture

1:34:08.120 --> 1:34:10.840
<v Speaker 1>is these days. You see what I mean. It's really

1:34:10.920 --> 1:34:15.160
<v Speaker 1>about how if they don't immediately say well, you know,

1:34:15.320 --> 1:34:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you could always say oh, it's not racist, okay, and

1:34:17.800 --> 1:34:21.280
<v Speaker 1>walk away from that. But if something is considered on

1:34:21.320 --> 1:34:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the left to be racist or full of oppression and

1:34:25.200 --> 1:34:29.680
<v Speaker 1>colonialism and white privilege and all these these terms and

1:34:30.439 --> 1:34:34.920
<v Speaker 1>ideas that the left doesn't just embrace but enforces them,

1:34:34.920 --> 1:34:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's the really key distinction. So as a

1:34:38.240 --> 1:34:42.280
<v Speaker 1>as a safe bet, if you're on a college campus

1:34:42.320 --> 1:34:44.200
<v Speaker 1>and you're being asked about something and you know there's

1:34:44.320 --> 1:34:51.639
<v Speaker 1>some generally vaguely racial aspect to it, you might as

1:34:51.640 --> 1:34:53.960
<v Speaker 1>well err on that side, right. So I have some

1:34:54.000 --> 1:34:56.320
<v Speaker 1>sympathy for these college kids who don't know the history

1:34:56.360 --> 1:34:58.080
<v Speaker 1>of Look, they should know, maybe a little more of

1:34:58.120 --> 1:35:00.599
<v Speaker 1>the history of Thanksgiving they do. And some of them

1:35:00.600 --> 1:35:03.799
<v Speaker 1>are obviously ideologues who are oh my gosh, it's so racist.

1:35:04.200 --> 1:35:06.720
<v Speaker 1>But you've also got to leave open the possibility that

1:35:06.760 --> 1:35:09.360
<v Speaker 1>there are some who just don't want to be accused

1:35:09.400 --> 1:35:12.759
<v Speaker 1>of being racist themselves, and so when they when something

1:35:12.800 --> 1:35:15.720
<v Speaker 1>comes up and it triggers that part of their mind

1:35:15.760 --> 1:35:18.679
<v Speaker 1>that goes, oh, I think that there's I'm being asked

1:35:18.680 --> 1:35:21.680
<v Speaker 1>if this thing is racist. Maybe I should just be

1:35:21.800 --> 1:35:24.960
<v Speaker 1>safe and go, yeah, this is kind of racist. Yeah.

1:35:25.000 --> 1:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>On the one hand, it's funny and it's worth pointing out,

1:35:27.200 --> 1:35:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and that's why we're doing it. But there's also a

1:35:28.800 --> 1:35:31.880
<v Speaker 1>part of me that wants everyone to understand at least

1:35:32.439 --> 1:35:34.960
<v Speaker 1>that that's not really a silly position for them to

1:35:35.000 --> 1:35:38.320
<v Speaker 1>take under the circumstances. Better to be the person who

1:35:38.400 --> 1:35:41.960
<v Speaker 1>goes along on a college campus and says, oh, yeah,

1:35:41.960 --> 1:35:44.400
<v Speaker 1>that's racist, right than be the person who goes, no,

1:35:44.520 --> 1:35:46.800
<v Speaker 1>that's not racist and have everyone started yelling at you.

1:35:47.360 --> 1:35:50.720
<v Speaker 1>So I try to take different things from some of

1:35:50.760 --> 1:35:53.639
<v Speaker 1>these encounters that we see on the on the college campuses,

1:35:53.720 --> 1:35:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and that would be one of them. And yes, Thanksgivings

1:35:57.160 --> 1:36:00.720
<v Speaker 1>about being thankful. So it's a pretty for holiday. A

1:36:00.760 --> 1:36:02.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of people I know say it's their favorite holiday,

1:36:03.120 --> 1:36:06.400
<v Speaker 1>which is interesting. I also maybe another time we'll talk

1:36:06.400 --> 1:36:09.799
<v Speaker 1>about how the Christian roots of Thanksgiving seem to often

1:36:09.880 --> 1:36:15.320
<v Speaker 1>get lost in our contemporary culture. For another time, Roll

1:36:15.400 --> 1:36:26.479
<v Speaker 1>calls up. The show ain't over yet, folks. It's time

1:36:26.520 --> 1:36:30.880
<v Speaker 1>for Roll Call, our last roll call before Thanksgiving. Team Man,

1:36:31.680 --> 1:36:34.320
<v Speaker 1>how the time does fly? I'm looking forward to it.

1:36:34.320 --> 1:36:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm heading up to New York City to be with

1:36:37.840 --> 1:36:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the fam, be with my family up there. I have

1:36:41.040 --> 1:36:43.760
<v Speaker 1>two brothers who have birthdays this week, So Mason Man

1:36:43.760 --> 1:36:46.000
<v Speaker 1>if you're listening, also known as Mason, my older brother,

1:36:46.439 --> 1:36:49.320
<v Speaker 1>happy Happy Birthday in advance because I won't be on

1:36:49.520 --> 1:36:52.200
<v Speaker 1>air for your birthday or the greatest big brother guy

1:36:52.200 --> 1:36:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I could ever ask for. And I'm gonna be celebrating

1:36:55.400 --> 1:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>with both my brothers, Mason and Keats this weekend in

1:36:57.680 --> 1:37:00.839
<v Speaker 1>New York. Mom is going to be cooking a fantastic turkey.

1:37:00.920 --> 1:37:04.800
<v Speaker 1>She's incredible with her her turkey cooking skills. So I'm

1:37:04.840 --> 1:37:07.320
<v Speaker 1>really looking forward to that. And you know, my only

1:37:07.360 --> 1:37:10.800
<v Speaker 1>thing is I feel like sometimes I want to mix

1:37:11.479 --> 1:37:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the sweet potatoes and the mashed potatoes. And the thing

1:37:15.920 --> 1:37:18.960
<v Speaker 1>about that is they're good on their own. I don't

1:37:18.960 --> 1:37:20.600
<v Speaker 1>know if they're really good mixed together. They get a

1:37:20.640 --> 1:37:23.560
<v Speaker 1>little accidentally mixed up. But do I want to intentionally

1:37:23.640 --> 1:37:26.879
<v Speaker 1>mix sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes? These are the questions

1:37:26.880 --> 1:37:28.920
<v Speaker 1>that keep me up at night. The good news is

1:37:28.920 --> 1:37:31.400
<v Speaker 1>there's no arguing about politics in my family because everyone

1:37:31.400 --> 1:37:34.879
<v Speaker 1>in my family is a sane, well read, and thoughtful patriot.

1:37:35.240 --> 1:37:37.719
<v Speaker 1>So we don't have to worry about that. That's nice,

1:37:37.880 --> 1:37:41.840
<v Speaker 1>isn't it. At least everyone of my immediate family falls

1:37:41.880 --> 1:37:46.320
<v Speaker 1>into those those categories. So we have Oh, I put

1:37:46.400 --> 1:37:48.240
<v Speaker 1>up a poll on Facebook, by the way, the best

1:37:48.320 --> 1:37:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving side dish, sweet potatoes or stuffing? I have? I

1:37:55.160 --> 1:37:57.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know, a thousand votes so far. We'll see what

1:37:57.760 --> 1:38:01.320
<v Speaker 1>ends up. We'll see what the total total is when

1:38:01.320 --> 1:38:04.840
<v Speaker 1>it when it comes in. Now, I said, roll call,

1:38:04.960 --> 1:38:08.479
<v Speaker 1>So let's do the roll call. Hold on, where where

1:38:08.479 --> 1:38:14.120
<v Speaker 1>did it go? Here we go? We have If Marie writes,

1:38:14.160 --> 1:38:16.920
<v Speaker 1>if dressing had been an option, I would have chosen

1:38:17.000 --> 1:38:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that I do not like stuffing but love dressing. Isn't

1:38:21.000 --> 1:38:25.400
<v Speaker 1>that just another word for stuffing? Mark writes smashed potatoes

1:38:25.479 --> 1:38:29.840
<v Speaker 1>and gravy. Yeah, I can't argue with potatoes are fantastic.

1:38:30.479 --> 1:38:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Jeff writes green bean casserole. Josh writes stuffing is trash.

1:38:38.720 --> 1:38:41.840
<v Speaker 1>In the South, we eat dressing, and dressing is not

1:38:42.000 --> 1:38:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a side. So a dressing is what you call stuffing

1:38:45.280 --> 1:38:47.920
<v Speaker 1>in the South. I did I did not know this.

1:38:48.200 --> 1:38:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I was not aware of this. Joshua writes, cornbread dressing

1:38:53.400 --> 1:39:00.800
<v Speaker 1>buck okay. Jerry writes, you misspelled whiskey in the second box, Nates. Now,

1:39:00.800 --> 1:39:05.120
<v Speaker 1>if you would have said mashed potatoes, Jeremy, right, sweet

1:39:05.120 --> 1:39:08.960
<v Speaker 1>potatoes belong in the trash can Jeremy, they do not.

1:39:09.080 --> 1:39:14.040
<v Speaker 1>They belong in my belly. Mashed potatoes. I see here

1:39:14.040 --> 1:39:18.160
<v Speaker 1>another mashed potatoes. James wrote, Romaine let us salad. Now,

1:39:18.240 --> 1:39:20.800
<v Speaker 1>James trying to be funny because right now there is

1:39:20.840 --> 1:39:24.360
<v Speaker 1>a warning out there for folks to not eat romaine.

1:39:24.479 --> 1:39:27.240
<v Speaker 1>You are not supposed to eat romaine lettuce. It is

1:39:27.360 --> 1:39:30.519
<v Speaker 1>considered a no no because of the possibility of E.

1:39:30.840 --> 1:39:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Coli contamination out there, So avoid romaine. But really, what

1:39:37.000 --> 1:39:39.639
<v Speaker 1>this is is a public service announcement telling you all

1:39:40.120 --> 1:39:46.720
<v Speaker 1>that salad is dangerous. Let's see, Scarlet, right, who are

1:39:46.720 --> 1:39:50.759
<v Speaker 1>these pagans that like stuffing better than yummy buttery, brown

1:39:50.800 --> 1:39:57.440
<v Speaker 1>sugary cinnamony, sweet taters, barbarians, the whole lot of you? Well, Scarlet,

1:39:58.160 --> 1:40:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the same reaction to this that you do,

1:40:02.240 --> 1:40:04.400
<v Speaker 1>but I like that you're you're getting fired up about it,

1:40:04.880 --> 1:40:07.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you telling me that it's called dressing

1:40:07.120 --> 1:40:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and not stuffing. I did not know that green bean

1:40:10.120 --> 1:40:13.559
<v Speaker 1>casserole gets a bunch of votes in here too. Green

1:40:13.640 --> 1:40:19.040
<v Speaker 1>bean casserole. Really, I don't know, Carrie says the roles.

1:40:19.400 --> 1:40:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I know the hot rolls are nice, but if you've

1:40:21.120 --> 1:40:24.160
<v Speaker 1>got Celiac disease like me, you tend not to have

1:40:24.240 --> 1:40:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of roles. All right, now, I'll get into them.

1:40:26.160 --> 1:40:29.040
<v Speaker 1>That was all on the poll people given their comments there.

1:40:29.520 --> 1:40:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Now we'll get into the more traditional side of pre

1:40:32.120 --> 1:40:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving role called Rob writes, turkey wrapped in bacon, pickle

1:40:37.120 --> 1:40:40.599
<v Speaker 1>on the side. Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for your insight.

1:40:40.680 --> 1:40:43.479
<v Speaker 1>You are chosen for this time. Rob. Well, Rob, you

1:40:43.520 --> 1:40:46.120
<v Speaker 1>are very kind man, and thank you for writing in.

1:40:46.240 --> 1:40:50.479
<v Speaker 1>And I have to say Happy Thanksgiving to you as well,

1:40:51.240 --> 1:40:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Timothy Right, Buck Shields High. Thanks for reading my comments

1:40:56.160 --> 1:41:00.360
<v Speaker 1>about pickles on hamburgers. Let us agree to dis agree,

1:41:00.479 --> 1:41:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and Romaine calm. Since I am a Polish Jew from Michigan,

1:41:05.520 --> 1:41:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I put pickles on everything now. As for Thanksgiving, I

1:41:09.320 --> 1:41:13.479
<v Speaker 1>thank God daily that Hillary Clinton is not president. Regarding

1:41:13.479 --> 1:41:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving dinner sides, I'll put my wife's sweep potato casserole

1:41:16.439 --> 1:41:22.200
<v Speaker 1>up against anything anytime, anywhere, oatmeal, honey, eggs, brown sugar, marshmallows,

1:41:22.200 --> 1:41:23.880
<v Speaker 1>et cetera, et cetera. You and miss Molly have a

1:41:23.920 --> 1:41:27.400
<v Speaker 1>wonderful Thanksgiving. Shields High, Timothy, Well, Timothy, thank you. And

1:41:28.080 --> 1:41:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I've got to say I am a sweet potato fan

1:41:32.479 --> 1:41:36.439
<v Speaker 1>in general, so I can't disagree. Can't disagree with you there,

1:41:37.360 --> 1:41:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Ken Right. What's the name of your new show with

1:41:39.800 --> 1:41:43.360
<v Speaker 1>a liberal co host? I can't seem to find it. Well,

1:41:43.439 --> 1:41:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Ken the new show, it's about six months old now,

1:41:46.160 --> 1:41:49.439
<v Speaker 1>is called Rising, And if you want to watch it,

1:41:49.439 --> 1:41:52.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a TV show on the web. If you want

1:41:52.240 --> 1:41:56.360
<v Speaker 1>to watch it, it is at hill dot tv slash

1:41:56.560 --> 1:41:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Rising on the Internet. That's the easiest way to go

1:41:59.040 --> 1:42:02.840
<v Speaker 1>check it out and my liberal co host name is

1:42:02.880 --> 1:42:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Crystal Ball. That is, in fact her name. Her name

1:42:06.479 --> 1:42:12.599
<v Speaker 1>is Crystal Ball. John writes, Hey Buck podcast listener here.

1:42:13.439 --> 1:42:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I love your show, but I must challenge on one thing.

1:42:16.280 --> 1:42:19.000
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned that we have been reducing carbon emissions globally,

1:42:19.000 --> 1:42:20.759
<v Speaker 1>and one of the things you mentioned was that contributing

1:42:20.800 --> 1:42:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to decline was not burning wood. I supplement my propane

1:42:24.080 --> 1:42:27.639
<v Speaker 1>furnace heat with a wood stove. Would heat is carbon neutral.

1:42:27.760 --> 1:42:30.080
<v Speaker 1>That is, through the lifetime of a tree, it absorbs

1:42:30.120 --> 1:42:33.280
<v Speaker 1>carbon and produces oxygen. Whether it rots on the ground

1:42:33.360 --> 1:42:35.479
<v Speaker 1>or burns in my stove, it releases the same amount

1:42:35.479 --> 1:42:38.320
<v Speaker 1>of carbon in the atmosphere, whereas burning coal, propane, or

1:42:38.400 --> 1:42:42.080
<v Speaker 1>natural gas releases carbon. That was one sequester below the

1:42:42.120 --> 1:42:46.400
<v Speaker 1>ground shield tige from John. John, you may be correct

1:42:46.439 --> 1:42:49.200
<v Speaker 1>on this one. I was trying to say that in

1:42:49.320 --> 1:42:53.000
<v Speaker 1>terms of the fuel sources we use, we're certainly more

1:42:53.160 --> 1:43:00.640
<v Speaker 1>it's certainly more efficient and less carbon intensive in the

1:43:00.840 --> 1:43:02.800
<v Speaker 1>when you burn it off. I mean, let's CO two

1:43:02.840 --> 1:43:04.640
<v Speaker 1>in the air. Keep in mind, I don't think that

1:43:04.880 --> 1:43:07.000
<v Speaker 1>CO two emissions are a problem. So that's also a

1:43:07.040 --> 1:43:11.599
<v Speaker 1>whole other thing as to how you would gauge carbon

1:43:11.960 --> 1:43:15.880
<v Speaker 1>over the life of of what is over a tree

1:43:16.439 --> 1:43:19.479
<v Speaker 1>versus when it's burnt. I don't know. I've never heard

1:43:19.479 --> 1:43:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that argue before. It's interesting. Thank you for thank you

1:43:22.640 --> 1:43:25.200
<v Speaker 1>for writing in and telling me something I didn't know.

1:43:26.120 --> 1:43:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Larry writes, Hey, Buck, I don't know if you agree

1:43:27.920 --> 1:43:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to go along with the traditional turkey trappings on Thanksgiving

1:43:31.360 --> 1:43:35.559
<v Speaker 1>or if you insist on the ribi rigamarole, But in

1:43:35.640 --> 1:43:38.040
<v Speaker 1>either case, wishing you and Miss Molly and your family's

<v Speaker 1>to all of you listening. Thank you. You know. One

1:43:54.600 --> 1:43:58.599
<v Speaker 1>thing I will say is I am thankful each year

1:43:58.720 --> 1:44:01.240
<v Speaker 1>that I've had this show for all of you who listen,

1:44:01.880 --> 1:44:04.639
<v Speaker 1>who support me and support what I do here, and

1:44:04.680 --> 1:44:08.840
<v Speaker 1>support this whole endeavor of the Buck Sexton Show and

1:44:09.120 --> 1:44:11.519
<v Speaker 1>the Freedom Hut is those of us who are a

1:44:11.520 --> 1:44:13.960
<v Speaker 1>part of it call it. It really does mean a lot.

1:44:14.200 --> 1:44:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel blessed to be able to do this job.

1:44:16.240 --> 1:44:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Every time that I can come up to this mic

1:44:19.000 --> 1:44:21.519
<v Speaker 1>and say what I want to say to all of

1:44:21.560 --> 1:44:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you and interact with all of you. I'm very, very lucky,

1:44:25.400 --> 1:44:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and I never forget it. And I appreciate all the

1:44:27.960 --> 1:44:29.920
<v Speaker 1>time that you give me, every one of you who

1:44:29.960 --> 1:44:34.480
<v Speaker 1>listens on radio, on a live stream, or via podcast.

1:44:35.880 --> 1:44:39.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm thankful for all of you. So you are very

1:44:39.520 --> 1:44:42.960
<v Speaker 1>much appreciated. And the time you spend with me means

1:44:42.960 --> 1:44:44.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and it's why I try to put as

1:44:44.720 --> 1:44:46.800
<v Speaker 1>much as I can into the show, to make it

1:44:46.840 --> 1:44:49.799
<v Speaker 1>as informative and as worthwhile and entertaining as I possibly

1:44:49.840 --> 1:44:55.160
<v Speaker 1>can every single day. Richard all Right. Season three of

1:44:55.200 --> 1:44:59.679
<v Speaker 1>The Last Kingdom just dropped on Netflix. Excellent. Well, Richard,

1:44:59.680 --> 1:45:01.519
<v Speaker 1>I got I tell you, that is pretty exciting. I

1:45:01.560 --> 1:45:04.000
<v Speaker 1>did not know that season three was even in the

1:45:04.000 --> 1:45:07.760
<v Speaker 1>works for The Last Kingdom, and I really love the

1:45:07.800 --> 1:45:12.439
<v Speaker 1>first season of that show. I thought the second season

1:45:13.040 --> 1:45:15.280
<v Speaker 1>was not quite as good as the first, but I

1:45:15.560 --> 1:45:18.280
<v Speaker 1>did enjoy it, so I'm excited. I've got a pretty

1:45:18.320 --> 1:45:20.720
<v Speaker 1>stacked queue right now. I've got kind of an embarrassment

1:45:20.760 --> 1:45:26.160
<v Speaker 1>of Netflix and Hulu and HBO. Go riches. I'm gonna

1:45:26.160 --> 1:45:30.200
<v Speaker 1>watch Narcos season four, the season it takes place in Mexico.

1:45:30.320 --> 1:45:33.000
<v Speaker 1>That's definitely on my media list. I gotta finish up

1:45:33.000 --> 1:45:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Peaky Blinders. Really enjoying that series, by the way, I

1:45:36.080 --> 1:45:40.000
<v Speaker 1>think it's great. I didn't really like The Haunting of Hillhouse.

1:45:40.160 --> 1:45:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was a little sanctimonious, a little boring,

1:45:45.200 --> 1:45:47.840
<v Speaker 1>a little slow, and I just don't think you can

1:45:47.880 --> 1:45:50.880
<v Speaker 1>have a movie that's that scary where there's really no

1:45:51.640 --> 1:45:54.439
<v Speaker 1>threat of anything bad happening to anybody. It's just like,

1:45:54.439 --> 1:45:56.800
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, I saw a ghost. I mean, if

1:45:56.800 --> 1:46:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the ghost isn't making people disappear or pushing people out

1:46:00.760 --> 1:46:03.360
<v Speaker 1>of windows or doing scary stuff like that, bo, it

1:46:03.360 --> 1:46:06.439
<v Speaker 1>looks like a ghost just called me there. Scary stuff.

1:46:06.880 --> 1:46:10.040
<v Speaker 1>But no, if you don't have any imminent threat from

1:46:10.080 --> 1:46:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the evil spirits or monsters or whatever, I just think

1:46:13.280 --> 1:46:15.559
<v Speaker 1>it's not that it's just not that scary. At The

1:46:15.600 --> 1:46:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Haunting a Hill House, I cannot recommend. I thought it

1:46:18.040 --> 1:46:21.000
<v Speaker 1>was boring. I might go and watch American Horror Story.

1:46:21.240 --> 1:46:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I've been told that that's really good does a really

1:46:23.800 --> 1:46:25.960
<v Speaker 1>really good job, so I might. I might be willing

1:46:25.960 --> 1:46:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to go check that one out, but I will have

1:46:29.160 --> 1:46:31.880
<v Speaker 1>to see what I also have a lot of work

1:46:31.920 --> 1:46:34.720
<v Speaker 1>to do over the weekend, so I can't say that

1:46:34.760 --> 1:46:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get through all that much. But I've

1:46:37.280 --> 1:46:43.320
<v Speaker 1>got some plants, Jason. Jason writes, Buck, you said nuts

1:46:43.360 --> 1:46:46.720
<v Speaker 1>have no place in brownies, and I agree. But what

1:46:46.880 --> 1:46:48.720
<v Speaker 1>makes a brownie go from good to the best you

1:46:48.800 --> 1:46:52.240
<v Speaker 1>ever had are Reese's peanut butter cups, and Jason sent

1:46:52.320 --> 1:46:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a photo of the brownies that he makes with Reese's

1:46:56.000 --> 1:46:59.280
<v Speaker 1>peanut butter cups in them. I, Jason, I think you

1:46:59.360 --> 1:47:02.760
<v Speaker 1>might be honest something here. My friend Riese's peanut buttercups

1:47:02.880 --> 1:47:07.760
<v Speaker 1>are incredible, and I think that there's a I think

1:47:07.760 --> 1:47:10.639
<v Speaker 1>that you're on a something all right, team, have a

1:47:10.800 --> 1:47:13.760
<v Speaker 1>very happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy if you've got some time off,

1:47:13.840 --> 1:47:16.599
<v Speaker 1>Enjoy time with friends and loved ones. Eat a lot

1:47:16.760 --> 1:47:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of delicious food. We are back into the breach together

1:47:20.400 --> 1:47:22.080
<v Speaker 1>next week. Shields Hie
