The harassment of conservative Supreme 4 00:00:23,177 --> 00:00:27,057 Speaker 1: Court justices continues as far left abortion activists publicly harassed 5 00:00:27,577 --> 00:00:30,137 Speaker 1: Justice Brett Kavanaugh last night while he dined at a 6 00:00:30,257 --> 00:00:35,297 Speaker 1: DC steakhouse. Just the latest incident of abortion radicals victimizing Kavanaugh, 7 00:00:35,337 --> 00:00:39,177 Speaker 1: who just weeks ago was the target of an assassination attempt. 8 00:00:39,457 --> 00:00:48,497 Speaker 1: We'll have the details in tonight's Hold One. Welcome to 9 00:00:48,537 --> 00:00:50,657 Speaker 1: hold on. I'm Buck Sexton. The left acts like a 10 00:00:50,657 --> 00:00:52,497 Speaker 1: bunch of cry babies all the time. We know this, 11 00:00:52,577 --> 00:00:55,097 Speaker 1: and they're fine with it. They don't even seem to 12 00:00:55,817 --> 00:00:59,057 Speaker 1: pretend that this is an issue they want to stop. 13 00:00:59,337 --> 00:01:05,617 Speaker 1: They'll speak in defense of the shrieking, angry mobs that 14 00:01:05,657 --> 00:01:08,737 Speaker 1: will track down anyone in public life who doesn't give 15 00:01:08,777 --> 00:01:12,017 Speaker 1: them what they want. And don't mean protesting on the 16 00:01:12,017 --> 00:01:14,497 Speaker 1: steps of the Supreme Court, for example, You're totally welcome 17 00:01:14,537 --> 00:01:18,297 Speaker 1: to protest there, but showing up at someone's home, especially 18 00:01:18,337 --> 00:01:20,057 Speaker 1: when they were a Supreme Court justice, a member of 19 00:01:20,057 --> 00:01:25,297 Speaker 1: the judiciary and therefore protected under federal law against judicial intimidation. 20 00:01:26,057 --> 00:01:29,057 Speaker 1: You know, thinking about this for a second, if somebody 21 00:01:29,097 --> 00:01:33,017 Speaker 1: wanted to influence the outcome of a trial and they 22 00:01:33,097 --> 00:01:36,217 Speaker 1: had a bunch of their friends get together banging pots 23 00:01:36,217 --> 00:01:40,577 Speaker 1: and pans and shouting outside the home of a prosecutor 24 00:01:40,657 --> 00:01:42,297 Speaker 1: that we're never going to leave you alone, and we're 25 00:01:42,337 --> 00:01:44,817 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna terrify your children at school, and all 26 00:01:44,857 --> 00:01:48,017 Speaker 1: this other stuff that's clear judicial or in this case, 27 00:01:48,057 --> 00:01:52,617 Speaker 1: prosecutorial tampering. Right. But because the Libs are also sad 28 00:01:52,657 --> 00:01:56,217 Speaker 1: because their bullcrap Roe v. Wave decision no longer exists, 29 00:01:56,937 --> 00:01:58,657 Speaker 1: they think they're allowed to just get away with whatever, 30 00:01:58,697 --> 00:02:01,217 Speaker 1: and we're seeing more of that now Kavanaugh. Justice Kavanaugh, 31 00:02:01,217 --> 00:02:04,217 Speaker 1: who's given the Libs some victories too. By the way, 32 00:02:04,257 --> 00:02:07,777 Speaker 1: he's not like a super solid constitutionalist. He's not a 33 00:02:08,177 --> 00:02:12,817 Speaker 1: rock solid conserve like Thomas or Alito. But he was 34 00:02:12,857 --> 00:02:14,857 Speaker 1: at a dinner a place signed up pretty well in DC, 35 00:02:16,337 --> 00:02:20,937 Speaker 1: the Morton Steakhouse, and a bunch of lunatics chased him 36 00:02:20,937 --> 00:02:23,657 Speaker 1: basically like mobbed him, shouted things, and he had to 37 00:02:23,737 --> 00:02:25,977 Speaker 1: leave out of the back door of the restaurant. This 38 00:02:26,057 --> 00:02:29,177 Speaker 1: is from the Shutdown DC Twitter account. While the badasses 39 00:02:29,297 --> 00:02:31,737 Speaker 1: l Rights DC and his own neighbors are gathered outside 40 00:02:31,817 --> 00:02:34,697 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh's home. The justice seems to have snuck out for 41 00:02:34,737 --> 00:02:37,337 Speaker 1: a swanky DC dinner. We got a tip from someone 42 00:02:37,377 --> 00:02:40,177 Speaker 1: who spotted him around seven forty damus. If you want 43 00:02:40,177 --> 00:02:43,097 Speaker 1: to join him, we're sure he can pull up a seat. 44 00:02:43,977 --> 00:02:49,457 Speaker 1: I mean, these are antifastyle Biden voting lunatics who try 45 00:02:49,537 --> 00:02:52,697 Speaker 1: to crowdsource their harassment as much as possible. Hey, do 46 00:02:52,697 --> 00:02:55,177 Speaker 1: you see this person. Let's go chase them and scare them. 47 00:02:55,417 --> 00:02:57,977 Speaker 1: They think they're gonna a Supreme Court justice is gonna 48 00:02:58,017 --> 00:03:01,257 Speaker 1: have dinner with his wife. Let's make them concern for 49 00:03:01,297 --> 00:03:04,137 Speaker 1: their physical safety. That is what they are doing, make 50 00:03:04,177 --> 00:03:08,817 Speaker 1: no mistake about it. Shutdown DC tweet run by morons 51 00:03:09,217 --> 00:03:14,497 Speaker 1: and followed or rather, you know, people supported by morons. 52 00:03:15,097 --> 00:03:17,737 Speaker 1: They said, we hear Kavanaugh snuck out the back with 53 00:03:17,777 --> 00:03:21,017 Speaker 1: the security detail. Morton should be ashamed for welcome and 54 00:03:21,097 --> 00:03:23,977 Speaker 1: man welcoming a man who so clearly hates women. I mean, honestly, 55 00:03:24,017 --> 00:03:26,377 Speaker 1: whoever runs a shutdown DC account, I would like to 56 00:03:26,377 --> 00:03:28,017 Speaker 1: have a few words with them face to face. I 57 00:03:28,017 --> 00:03:31,097 Speaker 1: think we'd have quite a chat. These people are disgusting, 58 00:03:31,177 --> 00:03:35,257 Speaker 1: They are despicable, but This is very common among leftists. 59 00:03:35,297 --> 00:03:38,377 Speaker 1: They think that they have a right to just harass 60 00:03:39,057 --> 00:03:44,817 Speaker 1: and threaten, effectively implicitly threatened if they don't openly do 61 00:03:44,857 --> 00:03:48,097 Speaker 1: it anybody in public life and the political process who 62 00:03:48,097 --> 00:03:50,617 Speaker 1: doesn't give them what they want. Fortunately, in this case, 63 00:03:50,697 --> 00:03:54,377 Speaker 1: Morton's the Steakhouse came out and defended Kavanaugh publicly, which 64 00:03:54,457 --> 00:03:57,017 Speaker 1: is at least one thing moving in the right direction here, 65 00:03:57,337 --> 00:03:59,977 Speaker 1: Honorable Supreme Court Justice and all of our other patrons 66 00:03:59,977 --> 00:04:04,057 Speaker 1: at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protesters while 67 00:04:04,097 --> 00:04:08,177 Speaker 1: eating dinner at our Morton's restaurant. Politics, regardless of your 68 00:04:08,217 --> 00:04:11,017 Speaker 1: side of you should not trample the freedom at play 69 00:04:11,137 --> 00:04:14,217 Speaker 1: of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There is 70 00:04:14,257 --> 00:04:16,977 Speaker 1: a time and a place for everything. Yeah, there are 71 00:04:17,017 --> 00:04:19,497 Speaker 1: time and place restrictions, even on speech. By the way, 72 00:04:20,057 --> 00:04:22,377 Speaker 1: the left loves are used by this, to be clear, 73 00:04:22,417 --> 00:04:24,577 Speaker 1: They love to shut down speech. Oh, it's violence. You 74 00:04:24,617 --> 00:04:26,497 Speaker 1: said that I'm not a woman and I'm actually a 75 00:04:26,537 --> 00:04:29,097 Speaker 1: man when i am. But they love that stuff, right, 76 00:04:29,417 --> 00:04:31,777 Speaker 1: they say it's violence, it's a hate crime. You know 77 00:04:31,857 --> 00:04:33,977 Speaker 1: how to say this. But then when it comes to 78 00:04:34,017 --> 00:04:36,137 Speaker 1: can someone just sit in a public place without having 79 00:04:36,177 --> 00:04:38,457 Speaker 1: an angry mob shouting at them and calling them names 80 00:04:38,457 --> 00:04:43,217 Speaker 1: and cursing at them. No, no, that's that's democracy. That's democracy. 81 00:04:43,937 --> 00:04:46,617 Speaker 1: The shutdown DC Twitter account actually offered a bounty for 82 00:04:46,617 --> 00:04:50,337 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices DC service industry workers. If you see 83 00:04:50,377 --> 00:04:55,097 Speaker 1: cavanol Alito, Thomas gorsag Cony Barrett or Roberts DMAs with 84 00:04:55,137 --> 00:04:58,777 Speaker 1: the details, we will venmo you fifty dollars for a 85 00:04:58,817 --> 00:05:01,697 Speaker 1: confirmed sighting and two hundred dollars if they're still there 86 00:05:01,737 --> 00:05:04,537 Speaker 1: thirty minutes after your message. I mean, this is they're 87 00:05:04,537 --> 00:05:08,617 Speaker 1: paying to find and harass members of the judiciary. By 88 00:05:08,657 --> 00:05:11,297 Speaker 1: the way, you're actually not allowed do intimidate judges. I 89 00:05:11,777 --> 00:05:14,857 Speaker 1: know that the Democrats, they're so sad about Row. There's 90 00:05:14,897 --> 00:05:17,937 Speaker 1: such cry babies. They can't even read the law and 91 00:05:18,017 --> 00:05:20,937 Speaker 1: understand it. They think that they can just get away 92 00:05:20,937 --> 00:05:23,817 Speaker 1: with this because Biden's a coward, and he's honestly a 93 00:05:23,897 --> 00:05:27,577 Speaker 1: moron and doesn't have any interest in defending the constitution, 94 00:05:27,617 --> 00:05:29,697 Speaker 1: doesn't have any interest in defending the rule of law. 95 00:05:30,417 --> 00:05:32,777 Speaker 1: And in fact, you here here's Karine Jean Pierre, the 96 00:05:32,817 --> 00:05:36,097 Speaker 1: White House Press secretary. One asked, here's how they should 97 00:05:36,137 --> 00:05:39,497 Speaker 1: go when you're a white House Press secretary, and you 98 00:05:39,617 --> 00:05:42,097 Speaker 1: are told that this isn't Remember, this isn't even a 99 00:05:42,137 --> 00:05:43,977 Speaker 1: member of Congress, not that that would be okay either, 100 00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:45,857 Speaker 1: but this isn't a politician. This is a member of 101 00:05:45,897 --> 00:05:49,617 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, which is supposed to be nonpartisan, which 102 00:05:49,657 --> 00:05:52,937 Speaker 1: is supposed to be the inner sanctum of our democracy 103 00:05:52,977 --> 00:05:57,217 Speaker 1: and constitutionalism. When you were asked from the White House podium, 104 00:05:57,417 --> 00:05:59,937 Speaker 1: what do you think about a Supreme Court justice being 105 00:06:00,017 --> 00:06:04,337 Speaker 1: mobbed and harassed by strangers because they don't like the 106 00:06:04,417 --> 00:06:08,137 Speaker 1: person you're supposed to say, that's honestly, we can all 107 00:06:08,177 --> 00:06:09,617 Speaker 1: have our differences, and there's a time and a place 108 00:06:09,657 --> 00:06:12,937 Speaker 1: for protest. But that's despicable behavior and no person of 109 00:06:12,977 --> 00:06:15,377 Speaker 1: good faith and goodwill would ever engage in that. And 110 00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:17,657 Speaker 1: it's also illegal, so we should actually start arresting people 111 00:06:17,697 --> 00:06:20,817 Speaker 1: who do this. But put that aside, Karen Jean Pierre says, no, 112 00:06:20,897 --> 00:06:25,857 Speaker 1: it's fine, harass them, go for it. Peaceful protest people 113 00:06:25,897 --> 00:06:28,097 Speaker 1: should be allowed to be to be able to do 114 00:06:28,137 --> 00:06:31,617 Speaker 1: that in a restaurant, if it's outside of a restaurant, 115 00:06:31,657 --> 00:06:37,457 Speaker 1: if it's peaceful, for sure, really peaceful protests. Whereas you were, 116 00:06:37,497 --> 00:06:42,777 Speaker 1: your question to me was intimidation, justices become violent protesters 117 00:06:42,817 --> 00:06:45,697 Speaker 1: do not agree with an opinion that they signed on 118 00:06:45,817 --> 00:06:48,977 Speaker 1: to have no right to privacy is what you're Sair, Peter. 119 00:06:49,137 --> 00:06:51,977 Speaker 1: This is this is people have the right. This is 120 00:06:52,017 --> 00:06:56,177 Speaker 1: what a democracy is. People have the right. Of course, 121 00:06:56,177 --> 00:06:58,417 Speaker 1: people have a right to privacy, but people also have 122 00:06:58,497 --> 00:07:02,777 Speaker 1: a right to be able to protest peacefully, peacefully. It's 123 00:07:02,777 --> 00:07:07,497 Speaker 1: the intimidation and the violence that we condemn, but they're not. 124 00:07:07,817 --> 00:07:11,177 Speaker 1: It's not peaceful to find somebody a restaurant is actually 125 00:07:11,737 --> 00:07:15,137 Speaker 1: a private property right. So it's not okay to go 126 00:07:15,177 --> 00:07:17,497 Speaker 1: in there and harass and mob somebody because you don't 127 00:07:17,497 --> 00:07:21,057 Speaker 1: like their politics. The restaurant should have called the police 128 00:07:21,057 --> 00:07:22,377 Speaker 1: and had all the people thrown out, but I'm sure 129 00:07:22,377 --> 00:07:23,857 Speaker 1: the police would have showed up. Oh no, we can't 130 00:07:23,857 --> 00:07:26,297 Speaker 1: do anything because you know, free speech for the psychopath 131 00:07:26,377 --> 00:07:28,337 Speaker 1: lives because they vote Biden. That's the way this works 132 00:07:28,337 --> 00:07:31,977 Speaker 1: in DC and every blue city in the country. This rots, 133 00:07:32,057 --> 00:07:36,217 Speaker 1: by the way, this intellectual and moral deficiency comes from 134 00:07:36,257 --> 00:07:39,937 Speaker 1: the very top. Speaking of deficiency intellectually and otherwise, here's 135 00:07:40,017 --> 00:07:41,937 Speaker 1: Joe Biden speaking of the country today on the Supreme 136 00:07:42,017 --> 00:07:46,217 Speaker 1: Court overturning Roe v. Wade. Watch let's be clear about something. 137 00:07:46,257 --> 00:07:49,497 Speaker 1: From the very start, this was not a decision driven 138 00:07:49,577 --> 00:07:51,577 Speaker 1: by the constitution. Let me say it again, this was 139 00:07:51,657 --> 00:07:55,937 Speaker 1: not a decision driven by the Constitution. In despite what 140 00:07:56,017 --> 00:07:59,457 Speaker 1: those justices, the majority said, this was not a decision 141 00:07:59,857 --> 00:08:04,617 Speaker 1: and driven by history, not a decision driven by the Constitution. 142 00:08:05,417 --> 00:08:10,017 Speaker 1: This quasi scenile and always a moron, thinks that there's 143 00:08:10,057 --> 00:08:14,137 Speaker 1: a right to abortion of the constitution. Really late eighteenth century, 144 00:08:14,217 --> 00:08:17,177 Speaker 1: really really think they created a right to abortion. It's 145 00:08:17,177 --> 00:08:19,417 Speaker 1: in the constitution. I mean, say that you want it, 146 00:08:19,457 --> 00:08:21,377 Speaker 1: but stop acting like we're all so dumb that we 147 00:08:21,417 --> 00:08:25,577 Speaker 1: can't read. Because we can. And this was a fabrication 148 00:08:26,017 --> 00:08:28,697 Speaker 1: from the beginning, and we all know it, even honest 149 00:08:28,737 --> 00:08:31,177 Speaker 1: lives know it. But Biden's not an honest live and 150 00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:34,177 Speaker 1: he's moron, says the Supreme Court is out of control. 151 00:08:34,257 --> 00:08:37,537 Speaker 1: Watch this. It is noteworthy that the percentage of women 152 00:08:37,577 --> 00:08:40,577 Speaker 1: who registered to vote and cast a ballot is consistently 153 00:08:40,657 --> 00:08:43,057 Speaker 1: higher than the percentage of the men who do so. 154 00:08:43,297 --> 00:08:47,257 Speaker 1: End of quote. Repeat the line. Women are not without 155 00:08:47,337 --> 00:08:51,537 Speaker 1: electoral and or political or maybe precisely not and or 156 00:08:51,857 --> 00:08:55,657 Speaker 1: or political power. That's another saying to you. The women 157 00:08:55,697 --> 00:09:01,097 Speaker 1: America can determine the outcome of this issue. End of quote. 158 00:09:01,137 --> 00:09:04,817 Speaker 1: Repeat that line. He read that because it was in 159 00:09:04,857 --> 00:09:08,657 Speaker 1: the prompter. Because we want to talk about the twenty 160 00:09:08,657 --> 00:09:10,737 Speaker 1: fifth Amendment. Remember they talked about it Trump just because 161 00:09:10,737 --> 00:09:13,217 Speaker 1: they didn't like him. They actually should use the twenty 162 00:09:13,217 --> 00:09:15,777 Speaker 1: fifth Amendment. Who removed Joe Biden from office? He is unfit, 163 00:09:15,897 --> 00:09:21,097 Speaker 1: he is too old, he is senile. This is ridiculous. Anyway. Wow, 164 00:09:21,177 --> 00:09:22,977 Speaker 1: we got some other bad news here. Japan is in 165 00:09:23,057 --> 00:09:26,097 Speaker 1: mourning after former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was killed by 166 00:09:26,137 --> 00:09:29,297 Speaker 1: an assassin's bullet. Well more on that with Gordon Chang 167 00:09:29,337 --> 00:09:31,497 Speaker 1: in a moment. First, let's talk about protecting your home. 168 00:09:31,497 --> 00:09:32,577 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, but there was 169 00:09:32,577 --> 00:09:34,617 Speaker 1: a recent story but an Arizona real estate agent that 170 00:09:34,657 --> 00:09:36,497 Speaker 1: found the home she lived and was listed for sale. 171 00:09:36,937 --> 00:09:38,697 Speaker 1: The problem was she wasn't selling her home. She was 172 00:09:38,737 --> 00:09:41,377 Speaker 1: the victim of home title fraud, a devastating crime happening 173 00:09:41,417 --> 00:09:43,777 Speaker 1: all of the country.

Then he 177 00:09:51,097 --> 00:09:53,017 Speaker 1: can take out loans on your home or sell it 178 00:09:53,337 --> 00:09:55,777 Speaker 1: typical identity.

An 190 00:10:33,497 --> 00:10:36,897 Speaker 1: assassination that has stunned the world. Former Japanese Prime Minister 191 00:10:36,977 --> 00:10:41,017 Speaker 1: Shinzo Abe, the country's longest serving leader and close allied 192 00:10:41,057 --> 00:10:44,337 Speaker 1: to the US, shot and killed by a loan gunman. 193 00:10:44,937 --> 00:10:47,657 Speaker 1: Advised this video is disturbing, but here is the moment. 194 00:10:47,777 --> 00:10:51,297 Speaker 1: This globally beloved leader was shot during a campaign event 195 00:10:51,377 --> 00:11:09,577 Speaker 1: just days before a national election. Alleged gunman has been 196 00:11:09,577 --> 00:11:13,137 Speaker 1: an idea fied as forty one year old Yamagami Tetsuya. 197 00:11:13,217 --> 00:11:15,617 Speaker 1: He was tackled that the scenes and in custody, and 198 00:11:15,697 --> 00:11:18,497 Speaker 1: investigations underway as to how he got so close and 199 00:11:18,537 --> 00:11:21,417 Speaker 1: what drove him to commit such a horrible crime. For analysis, 200 00:11:21,497 --> 00:11:23,657 Speaker 1: let's bring an author of the Great US China Tech War, 201 00:11:23,937 --> 00:11:26,977 Speaker 1: Gordon Chan Gordon. Thanks for being with us. Thank you 202 00:11:27,017 --> 00:11:31,337 Speaker 1: so much, Buck Gordon. First, A lot of people talking 203 00:11:31,337 --> 00:11:33,617 Speaker 1: about the legacy of Abbe, and we will get into 204 00:11:33,657 --> 00:11:37,737 Speaker 1: that to be sure, because he was a man probably 205 00:11:37,777 --> 00:11:42,737 Speaker 1: the most well known, most consequential prime minister Japan has 206 00:11:42,737 --> 00:11:45,537 Speaker 1: had since the Second World War. But do we do 207 00:11:45,577 --> 00:11:48,577 Speaker 1: we have any sense at all? Is this just a 208 00:11:48,697 --> 00:11:53,697 Speaker 1: madman who had some insane grudge against against Abbe? Do 209 00:11:53,737 --> 00:11:56,937 Speaker 1: we have any sense of what the political and any 210 00:11:56,977 --> 00:12:02,257 Speaker 1: kind of terrorist motivation behind this may be? At first glance, 211 00:12:02,457 --> 00:12:05,617 Speaker 1: this does look like a lone gunman. There have been 212 00:12:05,657 --> 00:12:11,017 Speaker 1: some comments from employees that Yanagami leave the Abbe was 213 00:12:11,097 --> 00:12:16,857 Speaker 1: associated with a religious sect that the gunmen abhorred, But 214 00:12:16,977 --> 00:12:19,817 Speaker 1: we really don't know. And I think that whatever the 215 00:12:19,857 --> 00:12:23,057 Speaker 1: gunmen says, we're going to have to do a little 216 00:12:23,097 --> 00:12:25,377 Speaker 1: bit of tracing back to make sure that there were 217 00:12:25,457 --> 00:12:29,657 Speaker 1: no foreign involvements, because there have been a number of countries. 218 00:12:29,777 --> 00:12:32,577 Speaker 1: There are a number of countries that had a really 219 00:12:32,697 --> 00:12:35,657 Speaker 1: good day today, and it's a really bad day for 220 00:12:35,697 --> 00:12:38,377 Speaker 1: the free world, but it was a very good day 221 00:12:38,657 --> 00:12:43,217 Speaker 1: for Russia, North Korea and China. Well, can you explain 222 00:12:43,217 --> 00:12:47,097 Speaker 1: to us, Gordon, how those states which are all at 223 00:12:47,177 --> 00:12:51,097 Speaker 1: least opposition, if not enemy of the US, depending on 224 00:12:51,177 --> 00:12:53,617 Speaker 1: who you're talking about it, in what context, how do 225 00:12:53,697 --> 00:13:00,137 Speaker 1: they benefit from this assassination of Abbe? Well, first of all, 226 00:13:00,737 --> 00:13:04,857 Speaker 1: Abe provided some stability in Japan. Yes, he was a 227 00:13:04,897 --> 00:13:09,017 Speaker 1: former his former prime minister, but he's also he was 228 00:13:09,057 --> 00:13:12,817 Speaker 1: the leader of the biggest faction in the governing Liberal 229 00:13:12,857 --> 00:13:18,017 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. Now, obviously that destabilizes the party, and anything 230 00:13:18,057 --> 00:13:22,257 Speaker 1: that destabilizes Japan is considered by Beijing to be good. 231 00:13:22,617 --> 00:13:27,177 Speaker 1: But more important, Abe believed in a strong defense, He 232 00:13:27,257 --> 00:13:31,297 Speaker 1: believed in a tight relationship with the United States, and 233 00:13:31,577 --> 00:13:36,457 Speaker 1: he wanted to defend Taiwan. So China obviously wants to 234 00:13:36,497 --> 00:13:40,217 Speaker 1: absorb Taiwan. Abe was one of those figures who was 235 00:13:40,297 --> 00:13:45,257 Speaker 1: standing in Beijing's way. And what is the current trajectory, 236 00:13:45,257 --> 00:13:50,337 Speaker 1: what are some of the primary political movements and political 237 00:13:50,537 --> 00:13:54,977 Speaker 1: threads and stories right now. I mean to take away 238 00:13:54,977 --> 00:13:57,897 Speaker 1: from this for a second. The obviously the assassination incident, 239 00:13:58,337 --> 00:14:03,257 Speaker 1: but are there substantial movements inside of Japan that want 240 00:14:03,297 --> 00:14:06,337 Speaker 1: to have a much less close relationship with the United States. 241 00:14:06,337 --> 00:14:09,937 Speaker 1: I mean, how what is the political scene before the 242 00:14:10,217 --> 00:14:13,937 Speaker 1: incident happened, just we can get understand the context. Yeah, 243 00:14:13,977 --> 00:14:17,537 Speaker 1: there are as a substantial portion of Japan that wants 244 00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:23,577 Speaker 1: really a pacifist approach, wants very warm relations, very strong 245 00:14:23,737 --> 00:14:27,497 Speaker 1: business ties with China. And one of the things that 246 00:14:27,697 --> 00:14:31,377 Speaker 1: love Abe's legacy was he moved Japan in the other direction, 247 00:14:31,657 --> 00:14:35,937 Speaker 1: a direction where the country had to go. So this 248 00:14:36,057 --> 00:14:38,697 Speaker 1: is this is going to We're gonna have to watch 249 00:14:38,737 --> 00:14:42,737 Speaker 1: this now. Some people think, well, you know, because Abe 250 00:14:42,777 --> 00:14:45,057 Speaker 1: is now a martyr, that Japan will move in that 251 00:14:45,097 --> 00:14:49,097 Speaker 1: direction anyway. But I don't know if there's strong enough 252 00:14:49,137 --> 00:14:54,417 Speaker 1: elements within the LDP Liberal Democratic Party to actually affect that. 253 00:14:55,057 --> 00:14:58,057 Speaker 1: So um, one of the possibilities, and I think it's 254 00:14:58,137 --> 00:15:00,657 Speaker 1: more probable than not, is we're going to see a 255 00:15:00,697 --> 00:15:04,737 Speaker 1: lot of uncertainty and chaos as the Liberal Democratic Party 256 00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:07,617 Speaker 1: figures out who its next leaders are and how they're 257 00:15:07,617 --> 00:15:11,537 Speaker 1: going to get there. Former President Trump moren the loss 258 00:15:11,617 --> 00:15:15,737 Speaker 1: of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe really bad news for the world. 259 00:15:15,777 --> 00:15:17,737 Speaker 1: The President put out in a statement, former Japanese Prime 260 00:15:17,777 --> 00:15:20,737 Speaker 1: Minister Shinzo Abe is dead. Who assassinated his killer was 261 00:15:20,737 --> 00:15:23,097 Speaker 1: captured and will hopefully be dealt with swiftly and harshly. 262 00:15:23,377 --> 00:15:25,017 Speaker 1: A few people knew what a great man and leader 263 00:15:25,057 --> 00:15:29,657 Speaker 1: Shinzo Abe was, but history will teach them and be kind. 264 00:15:29,937 --> 00:15:32,577 Speaker 1: He was a unifier like no other. But above all else, 265 00:15:32,617 --> 00:15:35,337 Speaker 1: he was a man who loved and cherish his magnificent country, Japan. 266 00:15:35,737 --> 00:15:38,017 Speaker 1: Shinzo Abe will be greatly missed. There will never be 267 00:15:38,017 --> 00:15:40,177 Speaker 1: another like him. What do you think of some of 268 00:15:40,217 --> 00:15:43,697 Speaker 1: the key points here that former President Trump makes about Abe? 269 00:15:43,977 --> 00:15:48,897 Speaker 1: What is this this giant of Japanese politics? What is 270 00:15:48,937 --> 00:15:54,497 Speaker 1: his legacy? His legacy is going to be changing Japan's 271 00:15:54,537 --> 00:15:59,537 Speaker 1: defense posture. But also there's an important aspect here. Abe 272 00:15:59,697 --> 00:16:04,577 Speaker 1: was prime minister twice. The first prime ministership was failed 273 00:16:04,617 --> 00:16:07,097 Speaker 1: two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, just one year. 274 00:16:07,657 --> 00:16:10,977 Speaker 1: But the second time he was prime minister he was 275 00:16:11,097 --> 00:16:14,817 Speaker 1: there for eight years twenty twelve to twenty twenty and 276 00:16:14,897 --> 00:16:19,377 Speaker 1: this was the longest continuous rule by a Japanese prime minister. 277 00:16:19,497 --> 00:16:24,017 Speaker 1: This was stability. Before Abe's second term, they were revolving 278 00:16:24,137 --> 00:16:28,977 Speaker 1: door Japanese prime ministers. After Abbe left in twenty twenty 279 00:16:29,017 --> 00:16:31,937 Speaker 1: two years, there have been two Japanese prime ministers. So 280 00:16:31,977 --> 00:16:35,577 Speaker 1: we're back to the revolving door. And this means that 281 00:16:35,697 --> 00:16:39,337 Speaker 1: Japan has a political system now that is in flux 282 00:16:39,377 --> 00:16:42,537 Speaker 1: and probably going in the wrong direction. I hope to 283 00:16:42,617 --> 00:16:46,137 Speaker 1: think that I'm wrong, but you know, right now was 284 00:16:46,297 --> 00:16:49,817 Speaker 1: such a strong figure out of the way. You don't 285 00:16:49,897 --> 00:16:52,857 Speaker 1: have an obvious person to step up. You know, in 286 00:16:52,897 --> 00:16:56,537 Speaker 1: these vacuums, sometimes somebody steps up, but sometimes things just 287 00:16:56,617 --> 00:16:59,377 Speaker 1: go off the rails. I'm concerned they're going to go 288 00:16:59,457 --> 00:17:02,017 Speaker 1: off the rails. And what was Abbe that this came 289 00:17:02,097 --> 00:17:06,297 Speaker 1: up briefly earlier in our conversation Gordon Abbey's feelings about 290 00:17:06,377 --> 00:17:12,337 Speaker 1: the US policy of ambiguity right when it comes to 291 00:17:12,377 --> 00:17:16,697 Speaker 1: Taiwan and its defense. Abe, as I understand, was thinking 292 00:17:16,697 --> 00:17:18,697 Speaker 1: that maybe it should be a more formal commitment or 293 00:17:18,697 --> 00:17:22,337 Speaker 1: where did he stand on that issue? He was moving 294 00:17:22,497 --> 00:17:25,657 Speaker 1: Japan as fast as he could to some sort of 295 00:17:25,737 --> 00:17:29,377 Speaker 1: formal commitment, and the reason is that Japan and Taiwan, 296 00:17:29,577 --> 00:17:31,937 Speaker 1: although there are two separate countries, are part of the 297 00:17:31,977 --> 00:17:37,297 Speaker 1: same island chain. Matter of fact, the southernmost westernmost Japanese 298 00:17:37,337 --> 00:17:41,737 Speaker 1: island that's inhabited is actually south of Taipei, and on 299 00:17:41,737 --> 00:17:45,057 Speaker 1: a clear day you can see Taiwan from Yonagumi. The 300 00:17:45,097 --> 00:17:48,057 Speaker 1: reason why this is important is because for China to 301 00:17:48,137 --> 00:17:52,017 Speaker 1: successfully invade Taiwan, it has to impose a blockade. For 302 00:17:52,137 --> 00:17:55,777 Speaker 1: that blockcade to be successful, it has to include sovereign 303 00:17:55,937 --> 00:18:00,417 Speaker 1: Japanese territory. Abe understood that, and so he was trying 304 00:18:00,417 --> 00:18:02,697 Speaker 1: to push Japan to make it clear to the world 305 00:18:02,857 --> 00:18:08,537 Speaker 1: that Tokyo would defend Taipei. How substantial are the Japanese 306 00:18:08,697 --> 00:18:12,937 Speaker 1: homeland defense for given the threat of a Chinese a 307 00:18:12,937 --> 00:18:19,497 Speaker 1: possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan. They're really really good. Although 308 00:18:19,537 --> 00:18:22,177 Speaker 1: they're not a formal military, as you point out, they're 309 00:18:22,177 --> 00:18:27,017 Speaker 1: a self defense force. They are improving their capabilities. They 310 00:18:27,097 --> 00:18:31,257 Speaker 1: are working very closely with the United States. With the 311 00:18:31,377 --> 00:18:34,377 Speaker 1: new president in South Korea, there is going to be 312 00:18:34,457 --> 00:18:38,737 Speaker 1: more cooperation between Tokyo and Saul, which would be a 313 00:18:38,817 --> 00:18:44,257 Speaker 1: very good thing. I think the Chinese are not particularly 314 00:18:44,377 --> 00:18:48,497 Speaker 1: enthusiastic about taking on the Japanese military. But at this 315 00:18:48,577 --> 00:18:52,257 Speaker 1: particular time, it's going to take some political leadership and 316 00:18:52,297 --> 00:18:56,097 Speaker 1: will to continue that direction that Abe put together in 317 00:18:56,217 --> 00:18:59,497 Speaker 1: terms of spending more. Gordon, thanks for being with us. 318 00:18:59,497 --> 00:19:05,097 Speaker 1: Always appreciate your insights. Thank you so much. Buck Department 319 00:19:05,097 --> 00:19:07,937 Speaker 1: of Justice issuing Arizona after the state passed a law 320 00:19:07,937 --> 00:19:10,537 Speaker 1: that requires voters to provide proof of sit and ship 321 00:19:10,577 --> 00:19:13,617 Speaker 1: for some federal elections. We come back. Arizona's Attorney General, 322 00:19:13,657 --> 00:19:16,377 Speaker 1: Mark Bernavich will explain how he's fighting back against the 323 00:19:16,577 --> 00:19:19,537 Speaker 1: Buyed administration. First, I want to talking about for checking 324 00:19:19,537 --> 00:19:22,097 Speaker 1: your online data. A lot of companies promise your privacy 325 00:19:22,177 --> 00:19:24,297 Speaker 1: is guaranteed. We know that's not true. That's why you 326 00:19:24,297 --> 00:19:27,377 Speaker 1: need a new privacy and cybersecurity application tool called Secure. 327 00:19:27,457 --> 00:19:31,137 Speaker 1: It's spelled SEK. You are.

Well 351 00:20:49,657 --> 00:20:52,297 Speaker 1: leading Arizona's fight against the DOJ on this matter is 352 00:20:52,337 --> 00:20:55,337 Speaker 1: Attorney General Mark Bernovitch of the Great State of Arizona, 353 00:20:55,337 --> 00:20:57,937 Speaker 1: he joins me. Now, Aji Bernovitch, good to see against 354 00:20:57,937 --> 00:21:01,977 Speaker 1: sir all right, first, tell us, well, what is going 355 00:21:02,057 --> 00:21:04,977 Speaker 1: on here? What is Arizona House Bill two four nine 356 00:21:05,057 --> 00:21:11,777 Speaker 1: two and why is it legal? Constitutional? Good? Well, the 357 00:21:12,097 --> 00:21:14,937 Speaker 1: short answer is is that it basically says, if you 358 00:21:14,977 --> 00:21:17,817 Speaker 1: want to vote in a presidential election, or if you 359 00:21:17,897 --> 00:21:20,097 Speaker 1: want a mail in ballot, you have to show a 360 00:21:20,097 --> 00:21:23,377 Speaker 1: proof of citizenship. It's a common sense election integrity measure. 361 00:21:23,617 --> 00:21:25,857 Speaker 1: And in fact, even the federal losses only citizens can 362 00:21:25,937 --> 00:21:28,057 Speaker 1: vote in our election. So it is a little bit 363 00:21:28,057 --> 00:21:32,777 Speaker 1: head scratching why Joe Biden's Department of Justice is challenging 364 00:21:32,977 --> 00:21:35,857 Speaker 1: this common sense election integrity measure but at the same 365 00:21:35,897 --> 00:21:39,977 Speaker 1: time allowing literally three and more than three million people 366 00:21:40,177 --> 00:21:42,897 Speaker 1: to illegally enter our country. So, I mean, I don't 367 00:21:42,937 --> 00:21:45,217 Speaker 1: let people draw their own conclusions. But why is that 368 00:21:45,337 --> 00:21:48,617 Speaker 1: Joe Biden doesn't want Arizona to check citizenship while they're 369 00:21:48,657 --> 00:21:51,657 Speaker 1: letting millions of people into this country. I mean, my goodness, 370 00:21:52,217 --> 00:21:54,217 Speaker 1: you know the first thing, gate of hotel rooms, give 371 00:21:54,297 --> 00:21:56,737 Speaker 1: them government for benefits, and now that Joe Biden wants 372 00:21:56,737 --> 00:21:58,497 Speaker 1: to give people that have entered the country illegally the 373 00:21:58,577 --> 00:22:02,497 Speaker 1: right to vote. So now, obviously the Biden Democrats, the 374 00:22:02,537 --> 00:22:05,177 Speaker 1: politics of this, I think are quite clear, or we 375 00:22:05,217 --> 00:22:07,777 Speaker 1: can talk more about that as well. But in terms 376 00:22:07,777 --> 00:22:12,497 Speaker 1: of the legal argument that Biden d o j. Is 377 00:22:12,697 --> 00:22:17,057 Speaker 1: making here, I mean, why does this take me through 378 00:22:17,097 --> 00:22:20,137 Speaker 1: their side just so we understand. Why are they claiming 379 00:22:20,537 --> 00:22:25,217 Speaker 1: that this violates the National Voter or Registration Act? Yeah, 380 00:22:25,257 --> 00:22:27,777 Speaker 1: I mean, in a nutshell. Every time you know, the 381 00:22:27,817 --> 00:22:31,057 Speaker 1: Biden administration doesn't like something, it's the typical farm left strategy. 382 00:22:31,257 --> 00:22:34,937 Speaker 1: They say that somehow that's voter suppression or it's designed 383 00:22:34,977 --> 00:22:39,137 Speaker 1: discriminate against the minority communities. And so the reality is 384 00:22:39,177 --> 00:22:42,417 Speaker 1: is that Arizona we provide a whole host of ways 385 00:22:42,457 --> 00:22:46,857 Speaker 1: people can vote. They can vote early. There's unsecure drop 386 00:22:46,897 --> 00:22:49,817 Speaker 1: boxes here, you know, people can vote by mail, people 387 00:22:49,817 --> 00:22:51,897 Speaker 1: can vote the day of at the polling place. And 388 00:22:51,937 --> 00:22:56,337 Speaker 1: so Arizona is made voting easy. What we want to 389 00:22:56,337 --> 00:22:58,817 Speaker 1: do is make cheating harder. And so this is just 390 00:22:58,897 --> 00:23:01,657 Speaker 1: a common sense election integrity manasurement. You may remember Buck 391 00:23:01,897 --> 00:23:04,337 Speaker 1: and just last year I was at the US Supreme 392 00:23:04,377 --> 00:23:07,737 Speaker 1: Court in bernovic E, DNC, where I personally argued a 393 00:23:07,777 --> 00:23:10,177 Speaker 1: case that was named after me, where once again the 394 00:23:10,257 --> 00:23:15,017 Speaker 1: leftist group said Arizona's limitations on ballot harvesting and restrictions 395 00:23:15,017 --> 00:23:18,817 Speaker 1: on out of pricing voting were somehow distant franchising minority voters, 396 00:23:18,817 --> 00:23:21,617 Speaker 1: and the Supreme Court saw right through that. So you know, 397 00:23:21,657 --> 00:23:24,617 Speaker 1: once again, this is all the far left trying to 398 00:23:24,657 --> 00:23:29,817 Speaker 1: intimidate principal rule of law. You know, conservative attorneys general 399 00:23:30,417 --> 00:23:32,537 Speaker 1: from not doing their job. But look, I've taken on 400 00:23:32,577 --> 00:23:34,537 Speaker 1: the Biden administration a bunch of times, whether it's on 401 00:23:34,577 --> 00:23:37,657 Speaker 1: the border, whether it's on hund constitutional vaccine mandates, and 402 00:23:37,897 --> 00:23:40,697 Speaker 1: you know, this is just another round of bernavicv. Biden. 403 00:23:41,497 --> 00:23:43,257 Speaker 1: How do you respond to the critics out there who 404 00:23:43,297 --> 00:23:47,537 Speaker 1: are saying that this new Arizona law would disenfranchise longtime 405 00:23:47,617 --> 00:23:51,497 Speaker 1: voters who registered before this citizen requirement citizenship requirement was 406 00:23:51,497 --> 00:23:55,817 Speaker 1: put in place. It's just simply not true. Look, I mean, 407 00:23:55,937 --> 00:23:58,777 Speaker 1: voting is obviously a right. We want to make sure 408 00:23:58,817 --> 00:24:01,017 Speaker 1: that everyone, no matter who they are, has confidence in 409 00:24:01,017 --> 00:24:03,937 Speaker 1: the electoral process. And in this day and age that 410 00:24:03,977 --> 00:24:07,017 Speaker 1: we're living in now, there's no reason why we shouldn't 411 00:24:07,057 --> 00:24:10,457 Speaker 1: be able to enact voter common sense voter election laws. 412 00:24:10,737 --> 00:24:14,097 Speaker 1: And at the same time, when Joe Biden's literally letting 413 00:24:14,737 --> 00:24:17,697 Speaker 1: millions of people illegally enter our country on top of 414 00:24:17,737 --> 00:24:20,617 Speaker 1: the flow flow of legal drugs and fenten all coming 415 00:24:20,617 --> 00:24:23,137 Speaker 1: into country. But when you start having millions of people 416 00:24:23,137 --> 00:24:27,737 Speaker 1: coming into this country, the Biden administration essentially wants to 417 00:24:27,777 --> 00:24:31,657 Speaker 1: grant him defactor amnesty. It is incumbent on every state 418 00:24:31,697 --> 00:24:35,017 Speaker 1: to make sure that everyone's vote counts. And by making 419 00:24:35,057 --> 00:24:37,817 Speaker 1: sure everyone votes counts, that means you can't have non 420 00:24:37,897 --> 00:24:41,937 Speaker 1: citizens voting in your elections. So do you have you 421 00:24:41,977 --> 00:24:45,217 Speaker 1: been seeing what's going on next door in the state 422 00:24:45,217 --> 00:24:48,257 Speaker 1: of Texas where Governor Abbott is claiming that they're going 423 00:24:48,337 --> 00:24:51,417 Speaker 1: to do more things at the state level to essentially 424 00:24:51,617 --> 00:24:56,057 Speaker 1: enforce enforce the border between the US and Mexico. And 425 00:24:56,697 --> 00:24:59,857 Speaker 1: is there any effort underway like that in Arizona to 426 00:24:59,937 --> 00:25:03,977 Speaker 1: try to either assist border patrol, which is clearly overwhelmed 427 00:25:03,977 --> 00:25:06,657 Speaker 1: it has been for the entirety of the Biden presidency, 428 00:25:06,897 --> 00:25:11,417 Speaker 1: or to take the law enforcement issue into its own hands. 429 00:25:11,457 --> 00:25:13,297 Speaker 1: In some ways, it seems like there are a number 430 00:25:13,337 --> 00:25:18,497 Speaker 1: of different approaches underway in Texas. Yeah, you know, but 431 00:25:19,097 --> 00:25:21,777 Speaker 1: we've talked about this every states of border state now 432 00:25:22,097 --> 00:25:26,217 Speaker 1: and Unfortunately, the Biden administration is incentivized and decriminalized people 433 00:25:26,217 --> 00:25:30,217 Speaker 1: breaking the law, and the cartels have essentially seized operational control. 434 00:25:30,537 --> 00:25:32,697 Speaker 1: And it's not fair to Arizona, it's not fair to Texas. 435 00:25:32,777 --> 00:25:35,017 Speaker 1: But every state is, as I said, a border state now, 436 00:25:35,497 --> 00:25:38,457 Speaker 1: but the president in the federal governments after apex of 437 00:25:38,457 --> 00:25:40,777 Speaker 1: power when it comes to national security and border security, 438 00:25:40,977 --> 00:25:43,257 Speaker 1: and there's even US Supreme Court case law that limits 439 00:25:43,257 --> 00:25:45,457 Speaker 1: the ability of states to do something. It is one 440 00:25:45,457 --> 00:25:47,937 Speaker 1: of the reasons why I was the first elected official 441 00:25:47,977 --> 00:25:51,497 Speaker 1: in the country, first aging anywhere, to issue a formal 442 00:25:51,257 --> 00:25:54,457 Speaker 1: legal opinion which is available on our website that says 443 00:25:54,657 --> 00:25:57,497 Speaker 1: what is going on right now. The Biden administration's failure 444 00:25:57,497 --> 00:26:02,417 Speaker 1: to secure a border constitutes an invasion for Article Section 445 00:26:02,457 --> 00:26:05,097 Speaker 1: four of the United States Section four the United States Constitution. 446 00:26:05,577 --> 00:26:09,057 Speaker 1: And so therefore, and that instance, every state as a 447 00:26:09,217 --> 00:26:11,897 Speaker 1: right to defend its self. And remember, the states created 448 00:26:11,937 --> 00:26:14,457 Speaker 1: the federal government. The federal government did not create the states. 449 00:26:14,777 --> 00:26:17,537 Speaker 1: And so if Joe Biden won't do the job, it's 450 00:26:17,617 --> 00:26:20,857 Speaker 1: unfair and it's expensive. But that's why you're seeing states 451 00:26:20,857 --> 00:26:24,457 Speaker 1: like Texas stand up. If you read our legal opinion, 452 00:26:24,737 --> 00:26:27,977 Speaker 1: I think that the governors can declare an invasion, and 453 00:26:28,097 --> 00:26:32,257 Speaker 1: that means they can start doing things like building physical barriers, 454 00:26:32,577 --> 00:26:35,977 Speaker 1: making sure forcing people to entry through proper ports points 455 00:26:36,577 --> 00:26:40,817 Speaker 1: ports of entry, and also making sure that if there's 456 00:26:40,897 --> 00:26:44,617 Speaker 1: drug gaining cartel activity, that those people can indeed be 457 00:26:44,657 --> 00:26:49,217 Speaker 1: apprehended and repatriated back to the country of their origin. 458 00:26:49,297 --> 00:26:52,257 Speaker 1: And so the states like Texas shouldn't have to be 459 00:26:52,297 --> 00:26:54,737 Speaker 1: doing this, But I think there's a lot of frustration 460 00:26:55,137 --> 00:26:57,777 Speaker 1: by folks like Governor Abbott that are just sick and 461 00:26:57,817 --> 00:27:00,497 Speaker 1: tired of the Biden administration not doing its job, and 462 00:27:00,537 --> 00:27:04,257 Speaker 1: they've seen this insane, not humane policy where people are 463 00:27:04,337 --> 00:27:06,497 Speaker 1: dying trying to get into this country. People are being 464 00:27:06,537 --> 00:27:10,617 Speaker 1: exploited by the cartels, and ultimately American tax are paying 465 00:27:10,617 --> 00:27:13,937 Speaker 1: the cost. Not only is a fiscal matter, but we're 466 00:27:13,937 --> 00:27:16,737 Speaker 1: paying the cost and lost lives as a result of 467 00:27:16,737 --> 00:27:20,537 Speaker 1: the cartel's flooding these terrible drives like fetting on our country, 468 00:27:20,777 --> 00:27:24,657 Speaker 1: which are made by procursor chemicals coming from China. Bernie, 469 00:27:24,737 --> 00:27:27,057 Speaker 1: General Bernovitch, thanks for being with us. Good to see you, sir. 470 00:27:27,817 --> 00:27:32,617 Speaker 1: Thank you.

But just a society, 492 00:28:44,017 --> 00:28:46,817 Speaker 1: like a civilization of some kind, you have to be 493 00:28:46,817 --> 00:28:51,777 Speaker 1: able to defend yourself. You cannot require security is kind 494 00:28:51,777 --> 00:28:56,137 Speaker 1: of a basic requirement of civilization, and the Soros based 495 00:28:56,177 --> 00:28:58,497 Speaker 1: prosecutors want to take that away because they want us 496 00:28:58,497 --> 00:29:03,457 Speaker 1: submitting the criminals, low life scumbags, and other key democratic constituencies. 497 00:29:04,057 --> 00:29:06,937 Speaker 1: It's very obvious. We've seen it before, We've seen it 498 00:29:06,977 --> 00:29:11,897 Speaker 1: again and again. And look we're contained aggressive steps to 499 00:29:11,977 --> 00:29:15,937 Speaker 1: stamp this out, including federal legislation if necessary. I just 500 00:29:16,097 --> 00:29:19,257 Speaker 1: I mean, you have this video. The clerk is I 501 00:29:19,297 --> 00:29:22,097 Speaker 1: believe sixty two years old. The guy who shoves him, 502 00:29:22,097 --> 00:29:25,537 Speaker 1: he pushes him into a corner. Now you know, I understand. 503 00:29:25,897 --> 00:29:29,497 Speaker 1: You know every time two guys in a bar outside 504 00:29:29,497 --> 00:29:33,097 Speaker 1: of whatever square off, you know if one throw you know, 505 00:29:32,937 --> 00:29:35,577 Speaker 1: you got to look at the totality of the circumstances 506 00:29:35,577 --> 00:29:37,897 Speaker 1: before somebody can use lethal force. Right, you can't sort 507 00:29:37,937 --> 00:29:39,737 Speaker 1: of pick a fight with somebody, say let's go settle 508 00:29:39,737 --> 00:29:42,537 Speaker 1: this outside, pull a gun and shoot somebody. This clerk 509 00:29:43,017 --> 00:29:46,857 Speaker 1: doing his job. This guy goes behind where the employees 510 00:29:46,897 --> 00:29:51,297 Speaker 1: are corners him, assaults him once. The clerk then tries 511 00:29:51,337 --> 00:29:53,657 Speaker 1: to get around him to get away. We're showing a 512 00:29:53,777 --> 00:29:57,577 Speaker 1: video here, and then the guy assaults him, who's bigger 513 00:29:57,617 --> 00:30:01,737 Speaker 1: and stronger, assaults him again. I mean, he had already 514 00:30:01,737 --> 00:30:06,057 Speaker 1: had his girlfriend. The attacker's girlfriend had flashed a knife 515 00:30:06,097 --> 00:30:08,097 Speaker 1: at the clerk, which I think people need to then 516 00:30:08,137 --> 00:30:09,857 Speaker 1: needs to be in more of these stories about this 517 00:30:10,257 --> 00:30:13,937 Speaker 1: before going to get the boyfriend. So what is this 518 00:30:13,937 --> 00:30:15,937 Speaker 1: guy supposed to do? You're just supposed to sit there 519 00:30:15,937 --> 00:30:18,137 Speaker 1: and get I mean, it seems like the disc attorney 520 00:30:18,137 --> 00:30:21,457 Speaker 1: of New York, Alvin Bragg, is saying, if you're attacked 521 00:30:21,457 --> 00:30:24,217 Speaker 1: by some criminal thug, you have to just let them 522 00:30:24,297 --> 00:30:26,977 Speaker 1: have their way with you. You're not allowed to defend yourself. Now, 523 00:30:27,377 --> 00:30:31,017 Speaker 1: you're absolutely correct. Self defense is not that hard if 524 00:30:31,057 --> 00:30:35,337 Speaker 1: you're he rules vary somewhat from state to state, but 525 00:30:35,377 --> 00:30:38,017 Speaker 1: the general principles the same. If you have to use 526 00:30:38,097 --> 00:30:41,817 Speaker 1: the deadly force to defend yourself from death or great 527 00:30:41,817 --> 00:30:46,377 Speaker 1: bodily harm, or defend someone else, you're allowed to. And 528 00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:49,457 Speaker 1: again it varies, and there's some nuances to it, but 529 00:30:49,537 --> 00:30:53,497 Speaker 1: this is pretty clear. And here the process is the punishment. 530 00:30:53,497 --> 00:30:56,057 Speaker 1: This guy's never going to get, you know, convicted and 531 00:30:56,057 --> 00:31:00,417 Speaker 1: sent away for thirty years. But he's already going through 532 00:31:00,417 --> 00:31:03,137 Speaker 1: a nightmare, and the message is, don't you dare stand 533 00:31:03,177 --> 00:31:06,497 Speaker 1: up to these Democrat constituents. And let's understand who the 534 00:31:06,537 --> 00:31:11,697 Speaker 1: criminals are. They are a Democrat constituency. They are a 535 00:31:11,737 --> 00:31:17,417 Speaker 1: favored group by Democrats. Democrats support not putting criminals in jail. 536 00:31:17,497 --> 00:31:21,577 Speaker 1: Democrats support keeping law abiding citizens from being able to 537 00:31:21,617 --> 00:31:26,977 Speaker 1: defend themselves. Democrats support this, and they are using their 538 00:31:27,017 --> 00:31:35,617 Speaker 1: power as prosecutors, a power which frankly is there's as 539 00:31:35,617 --> 00:31:39,617 Speaker 1: we've learned lately, there's far too much discretion for prosecutors 540 00:31:39,777 --> 00:31:44,017 Speaker 1: and there should be. They are simply not trustworthy and 541 00:31:44,057 --> 00:31:47,617 Speaker 1: we see it again and again as prosecutor shooting decisions 542 00:31:47,777 --> 00:31:53,097 Speaker 1: have been politicized. They are simply using it to oppress 543 00:31:53,137 --> 00:31:56,497 Speaker 1: those who are not part of the key Democrat constituency. 544 00:31:56,537 --> 00:31:59,977 Speaker 1: And normal people have got to bind together and put 545 00:32:00,017 --> 00:32:03,257 Speaker 1: a stop to this hoose. Alba's defense team put out 546 00:32:03,297 --> 00:32:06,817 Speaker 1: a statement on the case saying we continue to investigate 547 00:32:06,857 --> 00:32:09,137 Speaker 1: this case and gather evidence of mister Alba's defense. The 548 00:32:09,217 --> 00:32:11,777 Speaker 1: video in this case weeks for itself. Mister Albot was 549 00:32:11,817 --> 00:32:13,977 Speaker 1: simply doing his job when he was aggressively cornered by 550 00:32:13,977 --> 00:32:16,897 Speaker 1: a much younger and bigger man. He wasn't just cornered, 551 00:32:16,937 --> 00:32:18,657 Speaker 1: I mean he was he was man hanging over and 552 00:32:18,737 --> 00:32:21,617 Speaker 1: he was he was assaulted twice. And I would just 553 00:32:22,057 --> 00:32:23,897 Speaker 1: I would, you know, I would add to all this. 554 00:32:24,697 --> 00:32:28,217 Speaker 1: It's really to your point about the message it sends. 555 00:32:28,777 --> 00:32:33,337 Speaker 1: There is clear, close color video of this, right, This 556 00:32:33,417 --> 00:32:36,777 Speaker 1: isn't like grainy security footage from two walks away where 557 00:32:36,777 --> 00:32:39,977 Speaker 1: you can't see what you see exactly what happened here. 558 00:32:40,377 --> 00:32:44,897 Speaker 1: If that footage didn't exist, you think to yourself, so 559 00:32:45,017 --> 00:32:48,857 Speaker 1: maybe this guy would go to prison on secondary murder charges, right, 560 00:32:48,897 --> 00:32:51,657 Speaker 1: I mean, just based on the politics around it, think 561 00:32:51,737 --> 00:32:55,617 Speaker 1: that's a real possibility. Look, and I have a bona 562 00:32:55,657 --> 00:32:57,937 Speaker 1: pick with the defense attorneys. I think that statement was 563 00:32:57,977 --> 00:33:01,257 Speaker 1: saft if I had been defending him, and I typically 564 00:33:01,257 --> 00:33:05,417 Speaker 1: don't defend criminal accused, and this is a criminal case, 565 00:33:06,217 --> 00:33:10,817 Speaker 1: I would point out a no felon and convict attacked 566 00:33:10,937 --> 00:33:14,097 Speaker 1: my client at his place and work put him in 567 00:33:14,217 --> 00:33:18,177 Speaker 1: legitimate fear a great bodily injury or death. He used 568 00:33:18,177 --> 00:33:21,777 Speaker 1: the only means he could to protect himself from injury 569 00:33:21,937 --> 00:33:26,337 Speaker 1: or murder by a much bigger felon who brought the 570 00:33:26,377 --> 00:33:30,097 Speaker 1: attack to him, even after he tried to escape. The 571 00:33:30,217 --> 00:33:33,377 Speaker 1: DA has no business bringing these charges. They should be 572 00:33:33,457 --> 00:33:36,457 Speaker 1: thrown out at the outset, and fortunately in many in 573 00:33:36,537 --> 00:33:40,097 Speaker 1: many free states, you do have a process early on 574 00:33:40,177 --> 00:33:43,577 Speaker 1: in the in a case where the government does need 575 00:33:43,977 --> 00:33:47,457 Speaker 1: to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there is no 576 00:33:47,497 --> 00:33:52,377 Speaker 1: self defense when self defense is a potential argument. Some 577 00:33:52,457 --> 00:33:56,577 Speaker 1: of these are in conjunction with so called standard ground laws, 578 00:33:56,577 --> 00:34:00,937 Speaker 1: which are not really standard ground laws, but that's a 579 00:34:00,937 --> 00:34:03,457 Speaker 1: whole different subject. In a place like New York, though, 580 00:34:03,977 --> 00:34:07,057 Speaker 1: the deck is stacked against normal citizens defending themselves and 581 00:34:07,097 --> 00:34:12,017 Speaker 1: their families against Democratic constituencies. And let's be perfectly clear, 582 00:34:12,537 --> 00:34:17,897 Speaker 1: criminals are a Democrat constituency. That's why in Democrat Chicago, 583 00:34:17,977 --> 00:34:23,937 Speaker 1: for instance, Democrat criminals murdered Democrats all the time, and 584 00:34:24,057 --> 00:34:27,737 Speaker 1: the Democrat administration will not take action to stop them. 585 00:34:27,977 --> 00:34:32,497 Speaker 1: But if you, an innocent civilion attempt to defend yourself, 586 00:34:32,537 --> 00:34:36,017 Speaker 1: they will prosecute you. To send a message that you 587 00:34:36,137 --> 00:34:40,777 Speaker 1: must submit to the depredation of Democrat constituents. Mayor Eric 588 00:34:40,817 --> 00:34:43,657 Speaker 1: Adams put out a statement seems to be in support 589 00:34:43,697 --> 00:34:46,737 Speaker 1: of jose Album said, I support hardworking, innocent people that 590 00:34:46,777 --> 00:34:49,657 Speaker 1: are doing their job, and I saw him as a hardworking, 591 00:34:49,657 --> 00:34:51,777 Speaker 1: innocent New Yorker that a person went behind the counter 592 00:34:51,857 --> 00:34:56,217 Speaker 1: and attacked. So, I mean, you know, Alvin Bragg sees 593 00:34:56,257 --> 00:34:59,777 Speaker 1: the video, obviously charges second degree murder, not even like 594 00:34:59,777 --> 00:35:02,417 Speaker 1: a manslaughter charger. A second degree murder was the charge. 595 00:35:02,697 --> 00:35:05,497 Speaker 1: They wanted five hundred thousand. They wanted a five hundred 596 00:35:05,497 --> 00:35:07,977 Speaker 1: thousand dollars bail. Initially it was two hundred and fifty k. 597 00:35:08,417 --> 00:35:10,697 Speaker 1: Then people freaked out like me by the way on radio, 598 00:35:10,737 --> 00:35:12,337 Speaker 1: and they loaded at fifty k. I mean, I think 599 00:35:12,377 --> 00:35:13,977 Speaker 1: they shouldn't have brought charges at all. I think they 600 00:35:13,977 --> 00:35:15,457 Speaker 1: should have given him a patter of back and set 601 00:35:15,537 --> 00:35:18,257 Speaker 1: him home, give them a medal. Yeah, I mean, you 602 00:35:18,257 --> 00:35:19,897 Speaker 1: know that this is the whole thing is ridiculous. But 603 00:35:19,897 --> 00:35:22,417 Speaker 1: I mean, two hundred fifty thous five hundred thousandfive thousand 604 00:35:22,417 --> 00:35:25,417 Speaker 1: Baale is crazy. I you know, I think that the 605 00:35:25,457 --> 00:35:29,857 Speaker 1: mayor realizes that the Democrat impulse to side with the criminal. 606 00:35:30,617 --> 00:35:32,897 Speaker 1: At least in this case, we're not going to be 607 00:35:32,937 --> 00:35:36,257 Speaker 1: told that it's an instance of white supremacy, and therefore 608 00:35:36,657 --> 00:35:39,977 Speaker 1: it's a little bit more clear eyed for a lot 609 00:35:40,017 --> 00:35:42,937 Speaker 1: of people watching this. You know, the politics of it 610 00:35:43,017 --> 00:35:46,777 Speaker 1: aren't so murky. He attacked an elderly Hispanic guy who 611 00:35:46,777 --> 00:35:51,057 Speaker 1: defended himself. Well, look, if you're wondering why his fat 612 00:35:51,057 --> 00:35:54,097 Speaker 1: Americans are moving to the Republican Party in such great numbers, 613 00:35:54,257 --> 00:35:57,777 Speaker 1: here's another example. It is now open season on hardworking 614 00:35:57,857 --> 00:36:04,177 Speaker 1: individuals of all races, and frankly it's minority community members 615 00:36:04,297 --> 00:36:10,257 Speaker 1: who suffered disproportionally from crime. Again, crime is authorized by 616 00:36:10,337 --> 00:36:13,697 Speaker 1: Democrat governments because they refused to take the basic access 617 00:36:13,737 --> 00:36:15,257 Speaker 1: to stop it. You know, none of this is a 618 00:36:15,297 --> 00:36:17,937 Speaker 1: secret book. None of it is a secret about how 619 00:36:17,977 --> 00:36:20,137 Speaker 1: to get rid of criminals. We did it thirty years 620 00:36:20,177 --> 00:36:23,057 Speaker 1: ago in New York City. Thirty years ago, New York 621 00:36:23,097 --> 00:36:26,057 Speaker 1: said we're done. We've had the sixty seventies and eighties 622 00:36:26,177 --> 00:36:28,617 Speaker 1: of criminals running wild. We're not going to do it. 623 00:36:29,097 --> 00:36:33,377 Speaker 1: And they elected a government a mayor who led a 624 00:36:33,417 --> 00:36:36,977 Speaker 1: campaign against crime, and crime went away. And then they 625 00:36:37,017 --> 00:36:40,777 Speaker 1: made eight choice because they thought, oh, well, it's really 626 00:36:40,817 --> 00:36:45,217 Speaker 1: harsh and there's no crime anyway, we'll just backslide, and 627 00:36:45,417 --> 00:36:49,617 Speaker 1: here you go, innocent civilians, innocent citizens at the mercy 628 00:36:49,617 --> 00:36:53,137 Speaker 1: of Democrat constituent criminals. I lived through it, by the way, 629 00:36:53,177 --> 00:36:57,017 Speaker 1: the transformation, it was remarkable. But speaking of transformation and 630 00:36:57,017 --> 00:36:58,937 Speaker 1: the ability to come back from as you pointed out, 631 00:36:58,977 --> 00:37:02,297 Speaker 1: the sixty seventies and then in the eighties, you've got 632 00:37:02,297 --> 00:37:04,137 Speaker 1: a book coming out. We'll be back the Fall and 633 00:37:04,257 --> 00:37:07,737 Speaker 1: Rise of America next week. What can folks expect? Why 634 00:37:07,777 --> 00:37:10,257 Speaker 1: should they get their second and third copies? Because sure 635 00:37:10,297 --> 00:37:13,137 Speaker 1: they party got one, Well, they damn well better have 636 00:37:13,297 --> 00:37:16,977 Speaker 1: one buck. Look, it's lively, it's fun, it's fast. It's 637 00:37:17,017 --> 00:37:19,377 Speaker 1: not one of those bow tight conservative books where they 638 00:37:19,657 --> 00:37:23,737 Speaker 1: badly it's lack might, as Burke pointed out, none, and 639 00:37:24,017 --> 00:37:25,977 Speaker 1: we don't have any of that. We're talking about the 640 00:37:25,977 --> 00:37:28,977 Speaker 1: potential for national divorce, the potential for civil war. We're 641 00:37:28,977 --> 00:37:31,457 Speaker 1: talking about China, and we're talking how to come back. 642 00:37:31,617 --> 00:37:34,257 Speaker 1: We're talking about a game plan for getting the White 643 00:37:34,257 --> 00:37:37,577 Speaker 1: House and kicking some liberal tale. It's about owning the 644 00:37:37,657 --> 00:37:41,177 Speaker 1: Libs and take it back our country. And it is 645 00:37:41,337 --> 00:37:44,337 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's fast, it's funny. I'm a lawyer, 646 00:37:44,537 --> 00:37:47,817 Speaker 1: I'm a try you know, I'm an army officer, and 647 00:37:47,897 --> 00:37:50,537 Speaker 1: I was a stand up comic. Every line in there's 648 00:37:50,617 --> 00:37:54,137 Speaker 1: you're going to point out something important, or teach us something, 649 00:37:54,697 --> 00:37:58,257 Speaker 1: or be funny. So get the book. It's it's a 650 00:37:58,257 --> 00:38:00,297 Speaker 1: cool book if I say so myself, and I'm not 651 00:38:00,417 --> 00:38:02,897 Speaker 1: modest because you want a modest lawyer. Maybe know something 652 00:38:02,977 --> 00:38:05,937 Speaker 1: about himself you've don't. Yeah, don't go get the book. 653 00:38:06,097 --> 00:38:10,417 Speaker 1: Don't think, get the book.

Who've got more on that coming in 659 00:38:27,417 --> 00:38:36,257 Speaker 1: quick Hits, Stay with us. Elon Musk has an interesting 660 00:38:36,297 --> 00:38:40,617 Speaker 1: response to critics of his prolific procreation. Nice literation there, guys, 661 00:38:40,657 --> 00:38:43,257 Speaker 1: and an investigation finds no evidence that border patrol agents 662 00:38:43,257 --> 00:38:46,497 Speaker 1: with Margarets and del Rio, Texas. Those stories coming up 663 00:38:46,497 --> 00:38:48,497 Speaker 1: in quick hits. Let's get right to it. First of all, 664 00:38:48,617 --> 00:38:50,417 Speaker 1: I don't know if Elon's actually going to be able 665 00:38:50,457 --> 00:38:53,897 Speaker 1: to purchase Twitter. I hope he does, because he has 666 00:38:53,897 --> 00:38:56,817 Speaker 1: at least espoused that there will be free speech principles 667 00:38:56,817 --> 00:38:58,937 Speaker 1: on Twitter, which do not actually exist. Twitter has run 668 00:38:58,977 --> 00:39:04,057 Speaker 1: by libs, four libs. It is a completely insane, woke 669 00:39:04,177 --> 00:39:07,297 Speaker 1: place when it comes to the application of these community 670 00:39:07,337 --> 00:39:09,857 Speaker 1: health policies and all the rest of it a conversational 671 00:39:09,857 --> 00:39:12,337 Speaker 1: health it's just all garbage, and these people are nuts. 672 00:39:12,857 --> 00:39:15,337 Speaker 1: Elon might be finally able to put a stop to 673 00:39:15,457 --> 00:39:18,097 Speaker 1: a lot of that craziness if he takes up the company. 674 00:39:18,617 --> 00:39:21,777 Speaker 1: We'll see it looks like they're having trouble verifying the 675 00:39:21,857 --> 00:39:25,617 Speaker 1: number of actual bot accounts that are currently operating on Twitter, 676 00:39:25,657 --> 00:39:28,497 Speaker 1: which has been a big sticking point for Musk's offer 677 00:39:28,537 --> 00:39:30,897 Speaker 1: to buy the company out up to this point. But 678 00:39:31,257 --> 00:39:33,817 Speaker 1: on a very different note, turns out that Elon is 679 00:39:34,297 --> 00:39:38,657 Speaker 1: a dad many many, many times over. It turns out 680 00:39:38,697 --> 00:39:41,057 Speaker 1: that he actually has nine children, which a lot of 681 00:39:41,097 --> 00:39:43,817 Speaker 1: people didn't know. I didn't know that, and he tweeted this, 682 00:39:43,897 --> 00:39:47,177 Speaker 1: doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis. A collapsing 683 00:39:47,217 --> 00:39:52,057 Speaker 1: birthrate is the biggest danger civilization faces. By bar he's 684 00:39:52,137 --> 00:39:55,097 Speaker 1: making a joke here of it. It's a clever joke actually, 685 00:39:55,217 --> 00:39:59,777 Speaker 1: because it's also true. This notion that we are overpopulated 686 00:39:59,817 --> 00:40:02,217 Speaker 1: and need a limit population because of climate change is 687 00:40:02,337 --> 00:40:07,137 Speaker 1: nihilistic absurdity, and people need to stop this is some 688 00:40:07,217 --> 00:40:11,657 Speaker 1: kind of deep seated neurosees from control roll obsessed authoritarian 689 00:40:11,737 --> 00:40:15,457 Speaker 1: lids that we need less people because too many people 690 00:40:15,537 --> 00:40:19,457 Speaker 1: means not enough, you know, pretty ponds to stare at 691 00:40:19,537 --> 00:40:22,017 Speaker 1: or something, and the whole thing is ridiculous. It's absurd. 692 00:40:22,537 --> 00:40:27,177 Speaker 1: But then again, the left is basically insane, as you know, 693 00:40:27,537 --> 00:40:30,097 Speaker 1: so it's not surprising. I really do hope you managed 694 00:40:30,137 --> 00:40:33,657 Speaker 1: by Twitter. That would be very helpful. Here's CBP Commissioner 695 00:40:33,697 --> 00:40:38,457 Speaker 1: Chris Magnus clearing border agents of the whipping allegation. This 696 00:40:38,577 --> 00:40:43,297 Speaker 1: was back when there was a large caravan of Haitian migrants, 697 00:40:43,457 --> 00:40:46,177 Speaker 1: mostly Haitian migrants, who would gather at the US Mexico border. 698 00:40:46,577 --> 00:40:49,737 Speaker 1: There was a photograph taken that kind of looked like 699 00:40:49,897 --> 00:40:52,777 Speaker 1: maybe this guy had reins in his hand he was 700 00:40:52,857 --> 00:40:55,777 Speaker 1: using as a whip, except he wasn't. The photographer who 701 00:40:55,817 --> 00:40:57,697 Speaker 1: saw it said he wasn't using as a whip. They 702 00:40:57,737 --> 00:40:59,817 Speaker 1: were split reins. He was merely using it to guide 703 00:40:59,817 --> 00:41:04,737 Speaker 1: the horse. But Magnus cleared the agents once again, saying 704 00:41:04,777 --> 00:41:09,697 Speaker 1: that they didn't do anything. Watch likewise OPR investigators to 705 00:41:09,817 --> 00:41:12,897 Speaker 1: term and that the agents involved in the del Rio 706 00:41:13,137 --> 00:41:21,817 Speaker 1: activity were not carrying whips. The third area focused on 707 00:41:22,417 --> 00:41:29,217 Speaker 1: the individual actions of the agents, despite initial appearances After 708 00:41:29,297 --> 00:41:35,537 Speaker 1: a careful review and analysis of videos, photos, and eyewitness accounts. 709 00:41:35,577 --> 00:41:39,177 Speaker 1: This included an interview with a photographer on the scene 710 00:41:39,617 --> 00:41:44,537 Speaker 1: and other members of the media. OPR found no evidence 711 00:41:44,657 --> 00:41:49,417 Speaker 1: Border Patrol agents involved in this incident struck any person 712 00:41:49,777 --> 00:41:55,377 Speaker 1: with their reigns, intentionally or otherwise. It just didn't happen. 713 00:41:56,457 --> 00:42:00,177 Speaker 1: Joe Biden owes these members of Border Patrol who were 714 00:42:00,177 --> 00:42:04,097 Speaker 1: caught up in this an apology. That is what honor 715 00:42:04,177 --> 00:42:05,977 Speaker 1: dictates here. And first of all, what he had said 716 00:42:06,097 --> 00:42:09,537 Speaker 1: was deeply dishonorable and wildly unfair. But if he had 717 00:42:09,577 --> 00:42:13,017 Speaker 1: even adread of honor or decency, he would come out 718 00:42:13,057 --> 00:42:15,697 Speaker 1: and say, I am sorry that I jumped to conclusions here. 719 00:42:15,777 --> 00:42:19,457 Speaker 1: I was wrong. Those members of Border Patrol did nothing wrong. 720 00:42:19,937 --> 00:42:23,337 Speaker 1: And to play along with the race politics of the moment, 721 00:42:24,097 --> 00:42:27,897 Speaker 1: that's what Joe Biden always does. Binds Press Secretary Green 722 00:42:27,977 --> 00:42:31,737 Speaker 1: Jean Pierre by the ways out there, insisting that well, 723 00:42:31,737 --> 00:42:33,657 Speaker 1: this is what she said. We have a stronger economy 724 00:42:33,697 --> 00:42:36,137 Speaker 1: than we have in history or something like that. Watch 725 00:42:36,737 --> 00:42:38,977 Speaker 1: when you look at inflation, where we look at where 726 00:42:38,977 --> 00:42:42,097 Speaker 1: we are economically, and we are in a strong we 727 00:42:42,137 --> 00:42:48,257 Speaker 1: are stronger economically than we have been in history, in history, 728 00:42:48,417 --> 00:42:51,337 Speaker 1: like in all of history, because that's quite a claim 729 00:42:51,377 --> 00:42:54,417 Speaker 1: for her to be making. But then again, you know, 730 00:42:54,457 --> 00:42:56,457 Speaker 1: without the binders. I would like to see her do 731 00:42:56,537 --> 00:42:58,297 Speaker 1: one of these briefings with none of the binders in 732 00:42:58,337 --> 00:42:59,697 Speaker 1: front of her, just let's just see what she has 733 00:42:59,697 --> 00:43:02,057 Speaker 1: to say about things. I honestly believe it would be 734 00:43:02,897 --> 00:43:06,537 Speaker 1: fascinating and really good TV. But I don't think that's 735 00:43:06,577 --> 00:43:09,297 Speaker 1: going to happen anytime soon. That's every times, hold the 736 00:43:09,297 --> 00:43:11,657 Speaker 1: line the nose, spin us that Bill O'Riley is next. 737 00:43:12,017 --> 00:43:17,377 Speaker 1: She'll tie
