We 20 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: will cover a whole lot of territory. As is our tendency. 21 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: Trump's tax plan is out today gets some of the 22 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: details of that, I'll tell you what I think about it. 23 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how how much analysis and storytelling can 24 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: one really do of a tax plan that's going to 25 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: change UM speaker Ryan very excited today, Paul, Ryan very 26 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: excited the tax plan. We'll talk a bit about that. 27 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: I also have some follow up to the terror attack 28 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: in New York City earlier this week, including the analysis 29 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: that analysis that proves what I've been saying to you 30 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: all along, which is that the Left when it comes 31 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: to Islamic radicalism and the jihad is either cowardly, stupid 32 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: or both. We're both, I think oftentimes both. But that 33 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: will wait for just a bit before we get into that. First. 34 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: Oh my, this is gonna be fun. We're gonna have 35 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: some fun here. So Hillary Clinton hollow No, But really 36 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: what happened was she has been a topic of conversation 37 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: in political talk for a long time, for quite a while, 38 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 1: not just on this show, but on many shows. As 39 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, I'm amazing, But she is I think now 40 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: finally going to be retired as a power player of 41 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. I'm not sure, but it's gonna be 42 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: a little bit harder for the Clintons than it was 43 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: even a couple of days ago, to continue to be 44 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: the political dynasty of the left in this country, right, 45 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: the Democrats closest thing to royalty. I mean, you know, 46 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: I'd like to wear the robe and have a crown 47 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: on my head, so you know, why not. But Hillary 48 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: was twice over, and it's rather remarkable when you put 49 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: it in that context. Hillary was two times the assumed 50 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: Democrat Party nominee and the assumed next president of the 51 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: United States. Now she was the nominee the second time around, 52 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: but she lost the first go around, as you know, 53 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: to Barack Obama. But I remember, over the course of 54 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: the democrats most recent presidential campaign, I remember what it 55 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: was like among leftists, among Democrats and liberals, progressives and Democrats, 56 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: socialists and nihilists and anarchists and Marxists. I remember that 57 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: there was some dissension among the ranks, so to speak. 58 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: There were some problems, you see, because there was this 59 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: guy would free healthcare and free schools, and he was 60 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: the ideological and spiritual h mobilizer on the left. His 61 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: name was Bernie Sanders, Sandinista's baby. He he was, you know, 62 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: a likable enough fellow in in certain doses. I think 63 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: it's fair to say, I think that he thinks he 64 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: believes at least a good portion of what he says, 65 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: which makes him, in my book, more palatable than say 66 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, who's just like, I believe what you pay 67 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: me to say. It's just not someone that is in 68 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: any way ethical or it just has no character. Character 69 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: for sale, right, character for the highest bider, or character 70 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: for whoever's going to pave the way for her to 71 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: have power. Um. But now we found something out. And 72 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: I know that this is from a year ago and 73 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: maybe a little more, but we have some revelations today 74 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: courtesy of Donna Brazil, who was a former CNN colleague 75 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: of mine, I should note, and still to this day, 76 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: the first person that in a political debate I have 77 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: ever had who interrupted me specifically for the purpose of 78 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: telling me not to interrupt her. Which I'll let that 79 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: sit with you for a second. That happened, That actually 80 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: did happen, and I had to sort of just deal 81 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: with it because she was royalty at CNN. I mean, 82 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: she was at the absolute top of the list of 83 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: pundits that CNA. She's right there with Oh gosh, what's 84 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: the guys that I'm I'm blanking on his name right now. 85 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: He's the Clinton, you know, the guy that that they 86 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: put out there for Clinton all the time. And then 87 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: of course I'm forgetting who he is. It's not particularly 88 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: memorable guy, but there's a whole bunch of them, right. 89 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: But she was, she was among the most elevated figures 90 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: at c N. And she's written a book it's coming 91 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: out called Hacks. And I realized now I'm giving I'm 92 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: giving a a shout out for a book written by 93 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: a Democrat who was a major Hillary partisan. I should not. 94 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: I've I've never met ms Brazil. I've actually heard from 95 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: people that she's nice. So there's that. That's always a 96 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: good thing. Always always happy to hear that she's nice. 97 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: I'm fine with liberals being nice. I wish all liberals 98 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: would be nice, and I would say it, but a 99 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: lot of them are terrible. So here's what we found 100 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: out though, And this is for one, for a lot 101 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: of us who had to sit through all this during 102 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: the election, and and here all the lines and all 103 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: the nonsense, you know, For for a lot of us, 104 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 1: it's just nice to know that we were right all along. 105 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: But then there's also the the broader implications of oh, 106 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: you mean once again, the media was was really complicit 107 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: in making sure that I mean, could they have figured 108 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: this out? Did they try to figure this out? And 109 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: would they have told this if they had? Right? Those 110 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: are all the questions that we'll get into a second 111 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: as in were they involved in a huge pro Hillary 112 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: cover up and or a huge turning a blind eye 113 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: to what was very obvious to all of us, the 114 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: allegation among Democrats. And I knew some Sanders people actually 115 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: really like some of the Sanders people. I'll tell you 116 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: that some of some of the pro Sanders people were, Yeah, 117 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: and they don't like that. They wanted to well, they 118 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: thought that everything is free, and they don't have a 119 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: you know, they don't have any conception of well if 120 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: I take money out of column A and put it 121 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: into column B, I don't have the money in column anymore. 122 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: It's just, you know, whatever it is, it's going to 123 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: come from the rich people. You know. I mean, there's 124 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: never any the math never works right. But it sounds nice, 125 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: free school for everybody. Well, who's gonna pay for it? You? 126 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: Somebody else? Okay? Right? Free stuff sounds good. It's compelling, Uh, 127 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: it's compelling to the masses. I want to talk about populism. 128 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: I mean talking about how you're gonna give everybody free 129 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: healthcare and free schooling. That seems like pretty pretty obvious 130 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: populism to me. Anyway, I like some of the Bernie people, 131 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: but they were upset. They were unhappy with what was 132 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: going on in that Democrat race. And we just found 133 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: out today. This is the breaking news today from this 134 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: book by Donna Brazil, very highly placed formerly d n 135 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: C chair person. Right, we're chairwoman, Do we say chairwoman anymore? 136 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: Chair person? Whichever their correct terminology is chair of the 137 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: d n C. As I like to put that's even 138 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: weirder right to go with a chair because the chair 139 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: is an inanimate object. It's a chair person of some kind. Uh. 140 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: I think we should get our terminology straight and all 141 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: agree that we should use it. Won't, you know, use 142 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: the term one way or another and anyway? But she 143 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: would know. She was very highly placed Democrat. And what 144 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: she says is the following. And I was hearing all 145 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: these rumblings about how the fix was in. Remember that 146 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: was the big nertive the fixes in for Hillary Clinton 147 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: and these Democrats would go on TV and they would 148 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: just say, any of these these pundits and all these 149 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: pro Hillary people who were all trying to audition, right, 150 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: these different analysts and writers and journalists, they're auditioning for 151 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: a role in the Hillary administration. So I mean they'll 152 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: say anything because their careers are completely intertwined with Hillary's future. 153 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: Um and so here's here's what is. Here's what has 154 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: been said about this. Donna Brazil claims that she saw 155 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: an agreement with Hillary and the d n C right 156 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: after Hillary announced were four months after she announced that 157 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: she was running for president, which we all knew she 158 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: was gonna do maybe president, and she only was willing 159 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: to help the d n C, which was millions and 160 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: millions of dollars in the red and debt. He was 161 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: only willing to help the d n C if Hillary 162 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: Clinton campaign had control over where the money was spent. 163 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: Now that's that's essentially like saying, Okay, so there's this 164 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: apparatus for the Democrat Party that's raising money and and 165 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: then raises money for state and local races, right, I mean, 166 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: this is the the Democrat Party's political HQ, their political headquarters, 167 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: the d n C and they're running in the red 168 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: and Hillary says, yeah, I'll help you and we'll do 169 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: fundraising and I'll work with you on a you know, 170 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: this joint fundraising committee. But I get to control where 171 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: all the dollars go. This is as much as anybody 172 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: could have ever dreamed it. The Democrat Party literally sang 173 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: to Hillary Clinton, you know, here, here are the keys 174 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: you drive. You know, you're running the show. It's your kitchen. 175 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: I'll just eat whatever you cook. And that wasn't a microaggression. Okay, 176 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, this is damn saying that 177 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: Hillary gets to call the shots for the whole, for 178 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: from the top down, for the d n C while 179 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: she's running against a a primary opponent who actually was 180 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: getting a lot of traction and was doing well. I 181 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: was beating her in some places. But the DNC just 182 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: was they were all they were all in on this. 183 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: They were willing to just sign it over, signed the 184 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: deed over for the Democrat Party to Hillary Clinton. Um, 185 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: and here's what, here's this specify This is up on 186 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: on on Fox News. She said joint fundraising committees were 187 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: created between the DNC and the Clinton and Sanders campaigns 188 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: during the cycle, but Clinton was the only candidate who 189 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: raised money for the party. And then she goes into 190 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: some greater detail about how, uh it was clear that 191 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: Hillary used the fact that she was running raising money 192 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: from the d n C to direct for all that 193 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: money was going Bernie was getting cut out of. This 194 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: is also why when when we used to see the 195 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: stats on the screen of the super delegates and they 196 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: were all, you know, Bernie and Hillary were neck and neck, 197 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: but there there's a huge tronche of super delegates. They're 198 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: gonna go for Bernie. I'm sorry, gonna go for Hillary. 199 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: And they said, oh, well, you know, he never catch up, 200 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: never catch up, because look at the super delicate account. 201 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: That was really all you had to know is that 202 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: all these super delicates are going for Hillary because the 203 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: Democrat Party apparatus was in her corner the whole time, 204 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: and the fix, the fix really was in. I mean, 205 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: this was a it was a rigged game. They talked 206 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: so much about Trump and Hillary and a rigged election 207 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: that Democrats rigged their own primary because this is how 208 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: they do business, because this is how they see politics. 209 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: They would rather be in power, however it is they 210 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: have to get there. Then to adhere to any rules 211 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: of the road and fair play, integrity, honesty, all all that, 212 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: all that stuff, all that stuff, all right, So now 213 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: we know. And this is why in retrospect, when I 214 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: go back and think about some of my experiences over 215 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: at Clinton Headquarters also known as CNN. Uh. I I 216 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: got to sit in I think I've told you this 217 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: once or twice after a Democrat primary, and I was like, 218 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: you know, I think Bernie did a great job. I mean, 219 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: I'm really yeah, I'm a Republican and all, and I 220 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: think Bernie's policies are crazy, but I mean, you know, 221 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: you gotta give the guy credit. Right at least he's 222 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: getting the base fired up. And you could see all 223 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: these all these Democrats were either seething because they felt 224 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: like their future was being jeopardized by the truth coming out, 225 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: or they were a little bit beaten down by the 226 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: fact that they knew they were just sellouts. They're like, well, 227 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: you know, I'm in sure. I mean, I guess, I 228 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: guess Bernie's doing a pretty good job. But you know 229 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: it's you know, I mean, Hillary is the Hillary is 230 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: the likelier candidate to win. I mean, Hillary is the 231 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: one who can win that was really the whole theory, 232 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: right that Hillary could win, but she didn't. Now, I 233 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: just want to make this one more one more point 234 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: before we have to go into a quick break here, 235 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: and then we'll talk more about a little bit more 236 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: about this, and then we'll discuss the latest on the 237 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: terror investigation attack here in New York. We've got a lot, 238 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: a lot to get into today. But one more thing. 239 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: The same d n C that handed itself over to 240 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, right, that same political apparatus, with all those 241 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: same players, and we're so shameless and we're willing to 242 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: hide that from their voters and to keep that all 243 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: under reps. Do we really think that they're above lie 244 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: about what happened with Russia and collusion in the election, 245 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: And do you really think that there's any principles that 246 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: play here at all? They they were complaining that the 247 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: second that Hillary lost the election, about how Trump must 248 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: have rigged it somehow, without any sense of irony about 249 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: the fact that they rigged their own primary. According to 250 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: the interim d n C chair, not some crazy bloggers somewhere, 251 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't know anything. I'm sure this is true, which 252 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: brings us to one more point. I know it said 253 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: as a final point, which is that Hillary's it's got 254 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: to be all over for her after this, for the 255 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: for the party, because you wouldn't see this book come 256 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: out from a former Clinton confidante saying these kinds of things. 257 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: You would not see this if they thought that Hillary 258 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: was the future of the party. It means right now 259 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party doesn't know what its future is. But 260 00:15:52,880 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: we know it's corrupt, we know it's dirty. He just 261 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: doesn't have any empathy, and you can disagree with somebody 262 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: over all kinds of partisan issues, but you want to 263 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: have a president who can try to put himself into 264 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: the shoes the feelings of somebody else. Why why can't 265 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: he do that? Exactly? What? What does she even huh? 266 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: He can't put himself any there. I just want to 267 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: hear there's one more times to make sure that I'm 268 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: catching this right, what Hillary is saying about Trump. Go 269 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: go for that one more time, please. He just doesn't 270 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: have any empathy and you can disagree with somebody. That's 271 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: a pretty terrible thing to say about the commander. At 272 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: first of all, it's baseless, but it's a it's just 273 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: such a such a nasty thing to say about the 274 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: commander in chief after a terrorist attack where we've had 275 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: eight people killed and a dozen wounded. That just seems 276 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: to me to be I was gonna say it is 277 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: beneath her, for the former secretary of State and former 278 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: first Lady. But as we know Hillary is, there is 279 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: there anything that's really outside the boundaries of good taste 280 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: and decency when it comes to how Hillary runs her 281 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: political life or anything. I mean, I just think that 282 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: at this point kind of a desperation for our attention. 283 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure he has so much money based on what 284 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: well selling influence. Oh that reminds me now that Donna 285 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: Brazil has broken the silence about the d n C 286 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: and how it was handed over to Hillary Clinton during 287 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: their Democrat primary, which means the Democrats had a rigged election. 288 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: Let's just all call it what it was. It was 289 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: a rigged election. It was among themselves. But that's pretty 290 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: dishonest for for all the America. If I were a 291 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: Bernie voter, I would be losing my mind right now. Right. Oh, 292 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: media is gonna go me. It's only okay though, now, 293 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: because Hillary is you know, she's yesterday. She's yesterday's news 294 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: in terms of power. Circles in the Democrat Party. That's 295 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: what this really is. This is a big signal to 296 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: the political marketplace that Hillary is no longer a kingmaker 297 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: and will no longer be king or queen um. But 298 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: there's one more thing I wonder which intrepid mainstream journalist 299 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: is finally going to break the story of, Yeah, the 300 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: Clinton Foundation was like, like, so, we all knew that 301 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: Hillary Hillary had the d n C in her pocket 302 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: and the election, the primary was rigged for her. We 303 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: all knew that. We didn't know the details, but we 304 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: knew that. I'm wondering when someone's going to come forward 305 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: and say, you know, yeah, the Clinton Foundation really was 306 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: a front. It was part charity, part Clinton slush fund, 307 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: and it was an influenced peddling operation on a global scale, 308 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: which I should know. We all know that and have 309 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: known that. But maybe now that Hillary is no longer 310 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: politically necessary for the futures of the Democratic for the 311 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,959 Speaker 1: future of the Democratic Party, I guess you might have 312 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: some journalists decide, hey, you know, I could make a 313 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: name for myself here by just putting a little meat 314 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: on the bones of what we all already know, which 315 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: is that Clinton Foundation was a giant scam, incredibly corrupt, 316 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: and that's really where I think the investigation. Forget about 317 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: uranium one, Let's just go into the Clinton Foundation. He's 318 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: holding the line for America buck sex in his back. 319 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: So we have a terrorist in custody, Sipov. It's like 320 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: Foolstov who wishes that he could hang an ISIS flag 321 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: in the hospital room where he was recovering from the 322 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: gunshot wound to his abdomen, after he had killed eight 323 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: people and very terribly wounded a number of others. That 324 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: people lost limbs among the wounded, so horrific wounds. For 325 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 1: in a dozen people were wounded other than those who 326 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: lost their lives who were killed in this incident. And 327 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: this guy, Scipov is in every way exactly what you 328 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: would expect of an ISIS adherent. He is unrepentant, he 329 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: is vile, and we see the usual stories about oh, 330 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: you know, people who knew him, he was nice, who 331 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: would know him. I don't know why the media insists 332 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: on doing that. It's one thing to ask, you know, 333 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: family members and close friends about someone's character and behavior 334 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: after incident like this, but you know they'll say, hey, 335 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: as some guy who used to know him, kind of 336 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: said that he was quiet and nice or whatever it was, 337 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: and then they'll find someone what does he wasn't nice? 338 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: And what are we supposed to make of all this? 339 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: I think it's just journalists filling the pages. But you 340 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: saw that there's well right away, there was political back 341 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: and forth over this, and I wanted to get into 342 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: how the mayor here in New York has referred to 343 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: this and what his priorities are in the aftermath the visitor. 344 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: I've said that we have an income poop for a 345 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: mayor in New York. Build a Blasio. At one point, 346 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: I think he ran Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign, was very 347 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: tight with the Clintons, and as I am fond of 348 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: telling you all, was formerly named Warren Wilhelm, Varren Wilhelm, Hello, 349 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: guten tag. And now his name is Billed A. Blasio. 350 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 1: Quite a change. That's not like a middle name as 351 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: a first name, which is what I have, or anything 352 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: like that. It's it's just like quite quite a shift. 353 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: But de Blasio spoke about the end and I know 354 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: something about this because I used to work in the NYPD. 355 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: Is what they call an intelligence research specialist. What that 356 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: is is a civilian contractor with expertise and counter terrorism 357 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: who is there to help the NYPD with counter terrorism investigations. 358 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 1: It is the analytic cadre within the within the Intelligence 359 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: Division the NYPD. The Intelligence Division of the NYPD was 360 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: originally largely about dignitary protection for those who would come 361 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: to the United Nations and others, because New York gets 362 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: a lot of very important, very powerful foreign visitors. But 363 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: after nine eleven, they repurposed or REI repurposed, change the 364 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: mission however you want to put it the NYPD Intelligence 365 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: Division to make it about counter terrorism. There's also the 366 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: counter Terrorism Division. I mean it gets complicated, but that's 367 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: more static security and they deal with other things, you know, 368 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: blast radius for buildings and things like That. Intelligence Division, 369 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: if you want to know, is the one that has 370 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: ye is running human sources. Intelligence Division is the one 371 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: that is looking into breaking up cells and networks of 372 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: of extremists. And so I spent I don't know about 373 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: eighteen months with them right before I came into media, 374 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: and that was the last job I had before I 375 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: started doing what when you're hearing now, And so that's 376 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: why I wanted to give you that background because now 377 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: I can tell you a bit about what do Blasio says, 378 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: and he's representative of a lot of Democrat opinions here, 379 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: which is, you know, always take the position that law 380 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: enforcement is overstepping or victimizing the the Muslim community in 381 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: this country by giving any additional scrutiny of any kind 382 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: to mosques or anything like that. That's always very very bad. 383 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: It's a very bad idea, to Blasio says. And I'll 384 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: give you the other perspective of somebody who's doing the 385 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: work and is very familiar with how this whole how 386 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: this whole process of mosque they called mosques or village 387 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 1: just you know, it wasn't about a mosque or it 388 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: wasn't about mosques. It was always about individuals that were 389 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: thought to be engaged in because of credible reporting, because 390 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: of probable cause, uh terrorist criminal activity. That's that's what 391 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: it was about. And sometimes they were congregated a mosque 392 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: or sometimes and I know this may be very hard 393 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: for some of you to believe the mosque itself was 394 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: a place where criminal activity was occurring of all kinds, 395 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: different kinds. But here's what de Blasio said. In the 396 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: early moments of the debate that they had here with 397 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: Nicole Malia Maliatakas or something that's her name out. She's 398 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,239 Speaker 1: not gonna win. She's a Republican. It doesn't matter, right, 399 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: she's gonna get like fiftent of the vote probably. It 400 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: seems like a nice enough lady from what I've seen. 401 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: But anyway, here's what de Blasio says about NYPD mosque surveillance. 402 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: The surveillance program of the past failed because it alienated 403 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: our police from the very people we needed information from, 404 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: and it violated people's right. That's just not true. It's 405 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: just not true. And I'm not you know, this is 406 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: a rarity, right because usually it has somebody years a well, 407 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: you know, the Blasio is a leftist, he's like a 408 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: comy and it doesn't know anything about this. And that's 409 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,959 Speaker 1: all true. But I actually worked these cases. I was 410 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: very familiar with what was going on in the world 411 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: of mosque surveillance because I was involved in these programs 412 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: personally day in and day out, and it was always 413 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: done with a lot of legal oversight from the NYPD's 414 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: legal division, and it was always based upon opening criminal cases. 415 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: And you know, there wasn't just sort of blankets surveillance 416 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: and what are you picking up? So that's it's just 417 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: not true. And you know, you get the ny c LU, 418 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: which is like the New York version of the a 419 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: c l U. They were suing everyone suing. Here's the 420 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: problem though, as I have told you before, and we 421 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: should keep this in mind, after the terror attack in 422 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: New York City, with that in of all the the terror, 423 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: you know, as soon as this happened, if we were like, 424 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: what do we think about this guy? Had this happened, 425 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: a si ful of Scipov fits the fits the bill, right, 426 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: this is what we would have expected this if you 427 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: if I said, hey, I'll give you, you know, money, 428 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: if you can guess right who this evil savage terrorist, 429 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: you know, give me some of it. How did he radicalize? 430 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: What does he believe? You know what? What all that 431 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: you would have get. He would gotten pretty close to 432 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: this guy sip Off. And he might not have said 433 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: Uzbekistan as his country of origin, but you would have 434 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: come pretty close on some of this stuff. And here's 435 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: what I here's what I would say about the Blasio 436 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: and the and the whole mosques are valanced. Thing has 437 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: failed and because this as a nationwide discussion occurring through 438 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: the prison of New York City Ken Long, can the 439 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: FBI focus in on a mosque that they believe is 440 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: suspicious for the purposes of terrorism or counter terrorism operations 441 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: in your community? Where wherever you are across the community. 442 00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm telling you know, if you're in a city, just 443 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: be a lot of mosques. But wherever you are, the 444 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: mosque not that far away. So could there be surveillance 445 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: of that mosque? Not all moss is not enough resources. 446 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: And keep in mind that's never been that that the 447 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: plan has never been let's just mike up all the 448 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: mosques or something. Let's there's it's not possible. But if 449 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: you're trying to prevent je hottest plots from happening, if 450 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: you go back and you learn about the Jersey City 451 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: Mosque and its role in with the Blind Shake and uh, 452 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: the first attack on the World Trade Towers, and there 453 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: were mosques that were the center of criminal conspiracies, terrorist 454 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: criminal conspiracies that has happened here in New York City. 455 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: But we're supposed to forget about that history and that back. 456 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: Oh well, how would you feel if what if there 457 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: were police officers wandering around St. Patrick's cathedral. There are 458 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: no one's saying, oh gosh, our civil rights are being 459 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: violated right there there to provide safety, I know. But 460 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: the point is Christian churches here in the city, Jewish 461 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: temples here in the city have police officers and security 462 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: and and playing close officers around them all the time. 463 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: That they're not there investigating but they're protecting. Is just 464 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: a function of what's going on at that particular location. 465 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: What Di Blasio and others won't talk about is, well, 466 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: why is it that when when when young Buck was 467 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: just a lowly, lowly analyst at the NYPD Intelligence Division, 468 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: why was it that every and which which had a 469 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: mandate of countering any extreme violent extremism in the in 470 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: the city of New York, that was the mandate, right 471 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: stopping another nine eleven or any attack like it, or 472 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: stopping any terrorist attack to the best of our ability, 473 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: and working with the FBI, and they joined Terrorism Task 474 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: Force and all the rest of it. Why is it 475 00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: that all the uh, really important urgent case is why 476 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: is it that all the plots when I was there, 477 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: that were actionable, active plots to kill people based on ideology. 478 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: We're all radical Islam, every single one we could sit 479 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: and talk about the as I've said, the anarchists and 480 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: the white supremacists. I mean, they throw that in there too, 481 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: because you gotta be politically correct. You gotta make it 482 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: seem like there's a lot of other terrorism. We're concerned 483 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: about right wing extremism. All the cases had to do 484 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: with Islamic fundamentalists, who I should note spend a lot 485 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: of time in mosques. I could sit here and go 486 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: through the h few dozen I forget what the exact 487 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: number is now, but plots that were either enacted or 488 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: in the planning phase against the City of New York 489 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: Post nine eleven, and I wouldn't be able to come 490 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: up with one that was a member of the of 491 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: the Tea Party who was disgruntled, which, to his through 492 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: his everlasting shame, was what Bloomberg said initially about somebody 493 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: who was upset about healthcare when there was the attempt 494 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: to bomb Times Square in when I was working at 495 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: the n y p D at the time. So does 496 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: the left have any answers for any of this? And 497 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: what what are we supposed to do? You know? De 498 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: Blasio says that it didn't work and it violated civil rights. Uh, 499 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't perfect, but it actually was a pretty good 500 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: idea and it wasn't violating anybody's civil rights. And if 501 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: the Muslim community here in New York City, and as 502 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: you know that there was a lot of Muslim outreach 503 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: from the NYPD, and they had a community relations officers, 504 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: and there are a lot of Muslim officers in the NYPD. 505 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: And but if if the concern is that us trying 506 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: to deal with us being people in New York City, 507 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: and and I know that this is a specific the city, 508 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: but we just got hit with a terrorist attack, and 509 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,959 Speaker 1: this is a constant threat in this city. If our 510 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: concern is that by focusing on the threat of Islamic radicalism, 511 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: we're going to radicalize Muslims, we out a really big problem. Everybody. 512 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: We've got problems in a whole bunch of ways, and 513 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: we need to start being honest about what's really going 514 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: on here. Um, And I haven't even gotten into how 515 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: sip Off was in a position to sponsor, as Trump said, 516 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: dozens of his relatives to come to the country, the 517 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: whole chain migration thing. I mean, there's more here, so 518 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: let's get into that. I will talk to you about taxes, 519 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: I don't you know. For me, taxes are are important, 520 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: but there's only so much that it's worth me and 521 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: you taking our time here on this show to get 522 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: into the rates and the I know there'll be growth 523 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: and the you know, wages will go up and there's yeah, 524 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: all great stuff. Let's hope it happens. But I won't 525 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: spend too much time on all this. Oh boy, I've 526 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: got something breaking here that is just gonna add a 527 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: little more fuel to our fire from earlier on about 528 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: how the election. So I said the word rigged. Letard 529 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: this hour and um, by the way, we're not done 530 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: with the discussion about We're not done with discussion about 531 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: the left and how it dealt with a terror attack. 532 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: But I use the term rigged. And some of you 533 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: may be thought, oh, oh, buck, you're on radio, and 534 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: you're just just overstating, you know, just because people on 535 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: radio are always you know, rob Bob Bob on radio, 536 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: you know, yelling and angry. You know, I'm angry about 537 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: something I'm on radio. Uh no, no, no, no. It 538 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: turns out that I'm not the only person who thinks 539 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: that the Democrats rigged this thing. I give you, Elizabeth Warren, 540 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: You probably familiar with their senator Elizabeth Warren, who was 541 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: just asked, as we were on air here, um, oh no, 542 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, just as before we came on air here, 543 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying now that I'm I'm reading the reporting, but 544 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: I didn't see it live. Uh, whether or not the 545 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: system was rigged in Clinton's favor. She was asked this 546 00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: by Jake Tapper on the lead and her response was yes, Now, 547 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: there's no bravery here, right, Let's all be very clear 548 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: about that, because this is this is a big symbol 549 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: from the Democrat left that the era of Clinton is 550 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: over over. No one's gonna care anymore. Um, what will 551 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: what will be brought into fill the void? Who will 552 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: be the kingmaker in the Democratic Party going into the 553 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: next election. Well, for one thing, I think Elizabeth Warren 554 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: wants a little payback here for feeling that she had 555 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: to stand, uh stand in the background while Hillary got 556 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: yet another shot. I think Elizabeth Warren kind of wanted 557 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: to take a shot, and maybe she will now and 558 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: that would be fitting. It would be fitting for the 559 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: Democrat Party to be represented by a woman whose entire 560 00:33:54,040 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: career was based upon using a a sleight of hand, 561 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: using a part of the racial entitlement state, a racial 562 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: entitlement rather as Scalia referred to it in a Supreme 563 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: Court decision, in order to get get admission to one 564 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: of the most elite law schools in the in the country, 565 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: right as a professor. Forget about just getting in its 566 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: hired as a professor at Harvard Law School based on 567 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: what well And they needed. They wanted a Native American 568 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: law professor, and she said she was one, so they 569 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: went with it. It's pretty astonishing when we think about it. 570 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: But here we are, and she's really just a slightly younger, 571 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: less charming version of Bertie Sanders in terms of what 572 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: she stands for. But now now it's really coming out 573 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: from from all over the place. When when you have 574 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: a Democrats senator who has got to be in the 575 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: conversation of the top five people saying that the election 576 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: was rigged, that's that means that Hiller has done. Now 577 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: will they make the connection that I did between how 578 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: the Democrats on the one hand, claim Trump cheated and 579 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: now on the other hand, we know that they cheated 580 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: in their own election, which I know that there's this 581 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: sense of, well, maybe they should be allowed to because 582 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 1: it's they're like, no, no, they're supposed to represent the voters. 583 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: And there there's a there's a degree of of fraudulence 584 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: that's almost hard to be hard to encapsulate here. It's 585 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:31,280 Speaker 1: almost hard to express how dishonest that whole Democrat primary 586 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: thing was. And we all knew it. But now we 587 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: have proof this will be true of other things as well, 588 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,240 Speaker 1: based on I think how some of the investigations and 589 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: some of the efforts to unearth the truth about whether 590 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 1: it's Geranium one or the Clinton Foundation or any number 591 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: of things goes um. But I thought we were going 592 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: to leave the story behind. I just I had to. 593 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: I had to bring it back in there for a moment, because, um, 594 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: here we are, how many months later, and you'd think 595 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: that maybe somebody would have said something before this. Think 596 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: about what a tight ship the Democrats are running at 597 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: the propaganda level. That nobody was like, yeah, letting Hillary 598 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 1: raise money for the d n C, while I mean, 599 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: doesn't that tell you how in the pocket of Hillary 600 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: the d n C was that? And you know, isn't 601 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: it at least feasible. I'm not gonna get too crazy here, 602 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: but maybe somebody at the d n C at some 603 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: point I had had enough about this. I'm assuming that 604 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: someone somewhere with the d n C hierarchy got the 605 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: word out to some journalists about this, or at least 606 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: try to get the word out about what was going 607 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: on at the d n C to some journalists, and 608 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm guessing that they just didn't go anywhere with it, 609 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: or I don't know, but somebody knew something. Donna Brazil 610 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: on the one hand, and others other commentators I've have 611 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: been pointing out today on the one hand, she's like, 612 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: I had no idea that this was going on, but like, 613 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: let me tell you what was really going on. People 614 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 1: knew everybody. People knew that this was happening with Hillary, 615 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: people that were going on TV, who were powerful and 616 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: who could have said something, but they wanted the fix 617 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: to be in, don't you see, because they were all 618 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: going to cash in with the Clintons. He's back with 619 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: you now because when it comes to the fight for truth, 620 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: the fuck never stops. So there's a big to do 621 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: today over the tax plan. He taxes all what's up, 622 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: block and wrong with the tax plan, World tax plan, 623 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: trying to make the tax plan sound sexy. It's important 624 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:44,399 Speaker 1: because it um is something that affects your money, which 625 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 1: is important, and I would like you to keep more 626 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: of your money. I will get into it a few 627 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: moments though, because for one, it's not we haven't even 628 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: we don't even know what the final thing is going 629 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: to be here, and also, uh, it hasn't passed yet, 630 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: so who knows if the Republicans we've been managed to 631 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: figure that out. But at first I wanted to finish 632 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,439 Speaker 1: up the thread that I got diverted from before here, 633 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: and that has to do with that has to do 634 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: with the left analysis of terrorism and how it's interesting 635 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: to see that there ideology intrudes upon basic intelligence. Their 636 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: ideology means that they make mistakes and they say things 637 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: that you're like, how could you really really? Uh? And 638 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: And we'll show you some examples in a moment here. 639 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 1: But first the best example, and this is I don't 640 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: think this is the only version. I saw a version 641 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: of this on Twitter as well from a journalist, but 642 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: this is a much more agregious version of it, which 643 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: is in GQ magazine. I know, I know, not like 644 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: the New York Times, But in GQ magazine they published 645 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: a piece on November set kid, Why does this is? 646 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: This was to the title why does Donald Trump? Will 647 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: let me give you the original title, let me give 648 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: the change title, why does Donald Trump want the death 649 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 1: penalty for the New York attack but not for the 650 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: Las Vegas shooter? And other I saw others putting this 651 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: out on social media to journalists who are this was 652 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: one of their one of their instances where they were 653 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: trying to you know, trying to show that there's a 654 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: hatred of well, that that Islamophobia is the overwhelming reality 655 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 1: in America, and that that manifests itself even in how 656 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: we treat and view terrorism and stuff like that. Right, 657 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: that that was the purpose. That was the reason that 658 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: people would say this. Now, as I'm speaking, I'm sure 659 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,399 Speaker 1: a lot of you have been thinking to yourselves, Well, 660 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: the reason, the reason that I would guess that President 661 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,399 Speaker 1: Trump did not advocate the death penalty for the Las 662 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: Vegas shot ger is the same reason that I would 663 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: not have Anyways, Look, I'm sorry, I you know you can. 664 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: You can call me controversial, say what you will about 665 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: my analysis here, but I did not advocate for the 666 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: after the shooting and did not advocate for the death 667 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: penalty for the Las Vegas shooter because he killed himself, So, right, 668 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do that? That's pretty that's pretty 669 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: much case closed in terms of not the investigation, but 670 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,760 Speaker 1: whether the death penalty applies or not. The guy killed himself. 671 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: He's already dead, and g Q updated that. But it's 672 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: that's not an error that one would make unless the 673 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: the the synapses of the brain were misfiring in some way. 674 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: Because of the emotion and the ideology of being being 675 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: a leftist, right, it's it's more important to try and 676 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:58,240 Speaker 1: show that Trump is a bad guy and and Trump 677 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: is the problem. Right. There's a is a mass casualty 678 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: terrorist attack here in New York City, a few miles 679 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: from where I'm currently sitting, and I have to see 680 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: on TV different people paid for their opinions to suggest 681 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,280 Speaker 1: that Trump is the problem. Right, you know, it's a yeah, okay, 682 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,720 Speaker 1: terrorism is bad. They'll say that, but but but Trump 683 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: did this that was really bad. Let's let's talk about 684 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: that for a while. Trump's tweets are are not helpful. 685 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: That that's another one that you see a lot of 686 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: old Trump's tweets are not helpful, and people will keep 687 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: saying this, Um, oh, you're truck Schumer. For example, President Trump, 688 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:45,320 Speaker 1: where is your leadership again? Mr? President President Trump? Where 689 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 1: is your leadership? President Trump? Instead of politicizing and dividing America, 690 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: which he always seems to do at times of national tragedy, 691 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,280 Speaker 1: should be bringing us together and focusing on the real 692 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: solution anti terrorism funding, which he proposed to cut in 693 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 1: his most recent budget. Isn't that amazing? Everybody? There? You 694 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: have Chuck Schumer, without missing a beat, almost in the 695 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: same sentence, talking about how Trump needs to show leadership 696 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 1: and leadership and stop politicizing this terror attack because we 697 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: all know that the lack of funding in Congress for 698 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 1: kind of terrorism is actually Trump's fault and that's why 699 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: that's the problem. You know, stop politicizing the terror attack. Now, 700 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: let me talk about this political dispute I have with 701 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: the administration over funding and how that ties the terrorist attack. 702 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: And if that wasn't enough, here is a Schumer two days, 703 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: two days after the Las Vegas shooting. In the face 704 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: of tens of thousands of gun tests every year, too 705 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,720 Speaker 1: many Republicans in Congress have tried to enact the dream 706 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 1: agenda of the n r A and the gun lobby. 707 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 1: They've pursued a national concealed carry law. Can you imagine 708 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 1: if that law passed, this horrible, horrible man could concealed 709 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: carry under the laws of Nevada and come to Times 710 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: Square in New York City or Disneyland in Florida. This 711 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 1: is the guy that was a month ago, right, and 712 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,440 Speaker 1: now now he's the guy who's saying, let's not politicize 713 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 1: a tragedy. I'm pretty sure we could all agree that 714 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer doesn't have the moral authority on this issue 715 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: or any issue to lecture anybody about anything. But that's 716 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: the politicization issue, which I know we talked toot yesterday. 717 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: And back to the the left being uh, just delusional 718 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 1: and and foolish when it comes the way they talk 719 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: about terrorism, and specifically a terrorist incident like this that 720 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 1: involves a young or you know, a male Muslim age 721 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,240 Speaker 1: with a big beard, who is an immigrant to the country, 722 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: who yelled a lah who bar who? You know, they 723 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 1: go down all this list of of their This is 724 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,759 Speaker 1: a story they don't want to talk about. This does 725 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: not make them happy to relay the details of it. 726 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: And here's a CNN reporter discussing this terrorist ins and 727 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: Here's what he said. Police know who he is, they 728 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 1: have a description of him. I'm not going to share 729 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 1: that at the moment. They know who he is, they 730 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: have They're not going to share that the moment. Why 731 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:52,439 Speaker 1: why Uh, that would seem to be a public safety issue, 732 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:57,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't it. Why would you hold that back? Right? Because 733 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: if somebody knows something, okay, then then they want they 734 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,279 Speaker 1: just should come forward. What if somebody you know this? 735 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: You see this in New York City and it happens 736 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: all the time. It happens with local crime reporting, as 737 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 1: I've told you where I have watched it with my 738 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: own eyes and heard it myself. They will say, you know, 739 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: an attempted attempted rape in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Uh, 740 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 1: And they'll show a sketch of the subject that was 741 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: the suspect that was given to the police, and then 742 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 1: the description will be male five ft ten Okay, And 743 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: if we're gonna try to find this suspect, I mean 744 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 1: you would think, I mean some people are listening, they're 745 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 1: not looking and why why is that? Or they'll just 746 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,840 Speaker 1: describe the suspect as less than what the police have 747 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: on the incident. And this this hurts trust in our 748 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 1: media when they think that we can't handle the details 749 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: of what is true about a specific incident. It would 750 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: just be a little too difficult for people to hear 751 00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: what was going on. I mean that they do this 752 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: all the time. They did this a little time, and 753 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,719 Speaker 1: then you had an MSNBC terrorism analyst whom I've I've 754 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: heard before and says, it's just not a very good analyst. 755 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, this is not somebody who 756 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:17,239 Speaker 1: I've heard on the issue of terrorism say anything insightful. 757 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: Now I don't follow his career all that closely, and 758 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,840 Speaker 1: I don't really care, but here's what he had to 759 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: say about this most recent attack. What you're seeing is 760 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 1: not Islam whatsoever. None of this is condoned, including the 761 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,839 Speaker 1: you know, sacrificing and getting yourself killed at the end 762 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 1: of a terrorist attack. None of that is Islamic. It's 763 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: anti Islamic. Even Christians. We've seen Catholics in Canada who 764 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,919 Speaker 1: converted to quote unquote Islam and then carried out acts 765 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 1: of terror. Just what does that have to do with anything? 766 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 1: So if they converted, then they're no longer Catholics, right, 767 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: But what is it with people in the media analysts 768 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: or or journalists who want to who want to explain 769 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,359 Speaker 1: to all of us what the real ism is. This 770 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: is a they look at the problem the president Obama head. 771 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 1: You know, the future does not belong to those who 772 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: slander the profit of Islam? Is that it? Out of 773 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 1: u n speech? I remember it, and remember my jaw 774 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 1: kind of hit the ground. Really okay, so we all 775 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,680 Speaker 1: do I have to show I have to show respect 776 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,759 Speaker 1: as a Christian. I have to show respect for the 777 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:24,439 Speaker 1: profit of Islam. Really, Oh, I can't slander him? Well 778 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: if if if drawing him is slandering him, that's that's 779 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 1: drawn some pretty tight boundaries, isn't it. I'm now obligated 780 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 1: to that too. That was that was our president of 781 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 1: my friends. That was what we need to say about that. 782 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,279 Speaker 1: So I, you know, we could do this for all day. 783 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 1: I just want to give you some examples of this. 784 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 1: Is why when Trump says things like the you know, 785 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 1: the terrorists should you know we should I hope he 786 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,359 Speaker 1: fries or you know, we're gonna be tough, We're gonna 787 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: it resonates because we're sick of all the pretense from 788 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: the left that there's nothing to see here in terms 789 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 1: of any pattern has nothing going to do with Islam. 790 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,280 Speaker 1: The real fear is, the real problem is Alamophobia. NBC 791 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,760 Speaker 1: News as as sure as night follows day right, NBC 792 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 1: News published a piece the day after the attack on 793 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: how the the Muslim community was bracing for a backlash. 794 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 1: I've talked about this many times before. The backlash never happens. Well, 795 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: x America is a tolerant country full of good and 796 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 1: honorable people who don't judge individuals by the actions of 797 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,239 Speaker 1: people that are part of a group that they are, 798 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, not not even affiliated with, but just roughly 799 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 1: have some background in common with. I mean, it's just 800 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: this is why, you know, it's not good to have 801 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,879 Speaker 1: the media dominated by leftist democrats. It's not helpful to people, 802 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 1: and it's certainly not good to have so much crappy 803 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 1: counter terrorism analysis. You know, in other areas of of 804 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: what goes on in the in the media, you're expected 805 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,399 Speaker 1: to know something of the subject matter. I've I've said 806 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,360 Speaker 1: before to you that with guns, they're it's just an 807 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 1: except as long as you hate guns. There's an exception 808 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 1: for you. If if you hate guns and you're a journalist, 809 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,319 Speaker 1: you don't you can make mistakes.

I think we're going to 941 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 1: actually have some Democrat support. I think it's going to 942 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 1: be very very hard for them not to support it. 943 00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,680 Speaker 1: There was a certain newspaper that wrote today that, uh, 944 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,840 Speaker 1: your competition was out there trying to say it's for 945 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 1: the rich, it's for the rich, which they of course 946 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,280 Speaker 1: say routinely. It turned out that they weren't telling the truth, 947 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,759 Speaker 1: and the paper actually called him on it, which was 948 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,279 Speaker 1: shocking to me. Shock but they were called. They said 949 00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,680 Speaker 1: they're not telling the truth because this is a middle 950 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 1: in tax reduction, and it's a very big one. It 951 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,880 Speaker 1: will be the biggest tax reduction in the history of 952 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:15,640 Speaker 1: our country. President Trump touting his tax plan today and says, 953 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 1: the biggest reduction in the history of the country. That 954 00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 1: is that is significant, isn't it? That is clearly something 955 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,960 Speaker 1: that we should all pay some close attention to. What 956 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 1: will be tested here is a lot of economic theory 957 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 1: that conservatives have been pushing for a long time, that 958 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:39,240 Speaker 1: tax cuts results in growth and shared prosperity and high 959 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 1: employment and all kinds of great stuff. Right although already 960 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:47,080 Speaker 1: right now, as you know, the unemployment rate is incredibly low. 961 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:53,240 Speaker 1: The tax I'm sorry, I forget to text. The overall 962 00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:57,919 Speaker 1: stock market is doing very very well. The tax rates 963 00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,360 Speaker 1: also very high. The tax receipts are all time high. Boo. 964 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 1: That's also there. But here's what here's The New York 965 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 1: Times describes the Trump text plan. Republican lawmakers unveiled a 966 00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:15,040 Speaker 1: sweeping rewrite of the tax code on Thursday, outlining a 967 00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 1: one point five trillion dollar plan that will deliver a 968 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,880 Speaker 1: significant tax cut for corporations and more modest savings for 969 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,600 Speaker 1: middle class families while tilting the United States closer but 970 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,600 Speaker 1: not entirely towards the time, a kind of tax system 971 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:33,600 Speaker 1: long champion by businesses. The House plan, released after weeks 972 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: of internal debate, conflict, and delay, is far from final 973 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:42,720 Speaker 1: and immediately ignited a legislative and lobbying fight, as business groups, 974 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:46,200 Speaker 1: special interests in Democrats began tearing into the text a 975 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,480 Speaker 1: head of a Republican sprint to get the legislation passed 976 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:54,720 Speaker 1: and to President Trump's desk by Christmas. Lawmakers appeared unfazed 977 00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 1: by the blowback and scheduled the first official markup of 978 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,919 Speaker 1: the bill for Monday end. Quote. Okay, so that's one. 979 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 1: That's the Times version of this, right, which is like, 980 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 1: corporations are not papal. The tax cut is for corporations. 981 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:15,520 Speaker 1: It's terrible. Who streets are streets? Whose streets are streets? 982 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,120 Speaker 1: Stuff like that, A little bit, a little bit that 983 00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,800 Speaker 1: vibe coming from the New York Times. And then you 984 00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 1: also have the that's it Pelosi, it's that's Pelosi. Nancy 985 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:33,640 Speaker 1: Pelosi has her own version of it. This is the 986 00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:37,760 Speaker 1: shell game, a Ponzi scheme that corporate America will perpetrate 987 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 1: on the American people public. A bill written in secret 988 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,440 Speaker 1: designed to be raised for it before it's truly understood. 989 00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:50,400 Speaker 1: Ransacks vital benefits for the middle class. Hey, there's a 990 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 1: there's this game. Yeah, ransacks the middle class. Oh, those 991 00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,120 Speaker 1: terrible things the middle classes. Just this is horrible. All 992 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 1: the things that we've done to the middle class under 993 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 1: this tax scheme. We'll see, we will see. Um, this 994 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 1: is going to be good for business, to be sure, 995 01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 1: and it will put a lot of propaganda in the 996 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 1: hands of the Democrats that the Republican Party is a 997 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:25,680 Speaker 1: corporatist party that holds the interests of the donor class 998 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:29,400 Speaker 1: of corporations above individuals. That's what they'll say. I'm not 999 01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:32,280 Speaker 1: saying that's true. I'm just let's all be prepared for that. Right. 1000 01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:38,800 Speaker 1: The class warfare narrative is going to become a central 1001 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 1: theme among Democrats going into the mid terms. Here, that's 1002 01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 1: going to be the case. So you'll see a lot 1003 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 1: of that. You'll see a lot of that. That should 1004 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,640 Speaker 1: be your expectation. But Trump is not holding back as 1005 01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 1: a result of it, does not care that Democrats are 1006 01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,160 Speaker 1: going to say that. He's got to go ahead with 1007 01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 1: his business. And here are some of the specifics of this. 1008 01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:11,200 Speaker 1: We're going to make American globally competitive again. Corporate tax 1009 01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:15,320 Speaker 1: rate is sixty percent higher than our average competition. Will 1010 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:19,960 Speaker 1: slash the corporate rate from to no more than That's 1011 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,920 Speaker 1: truly one of the big things in the bill. What 1012 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,360 Speaker 1: that's going to do is create tremendous success for companies 1013 01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 1: and jobs. It's about jobs for five years, expense the 1014 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,560 Speaker 1: full cost of new equipment in the year you buy it, 1015 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:38,080 Speaker 1: something that personally I've never heard about in terms of 1016 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 1: what I was a businessman. In fact, that's a great 1017 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 1: incentive for everybody to want to be business people. So 1018 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be good for businesses, to be sure. There 1019 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,640 Speaker 1: will be, uh, the the benefit of having more cash 1020 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 1: on hand for businesses, which hopefully will translate into hiring 1021 01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:00,960 Speaker 1: and all kinds of good stuff for the economy, higher wages, 1022 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:08,040 Speaker 1: elevated g d P, growth prosperity. Yeah, everybody wins. That's 1023 01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 1: the plan, literally and figuratively. That's the plan. Um, that's 1024 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:16,120 Speaker 1: what they're hoping for here. Will it work? Will they 1025 01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,280 Speaker 1: get it through? Will they do it in time? I 1026 01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 1: am I am skeptical. You can put me in the 1027 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,880 Speaker 1: skeptical category. Not that it will work so much. Is 1028 01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:30,360 Speaker 1: that they'll get it done. I find it unlikely that 1029 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 1: they will get this done before the new year. Um, 1030 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,120 Speaker 1: just because I could try to give you a very 1031 01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 1: complicated explanation rational for all that, but just because the 1032 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,520 Speaker 1: Republican Congress has so far been so incapable and so 1033 01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 1: inept of getting anything done. I will say that on taxes, 1034 01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 1: this is where Republicans, I mean, you know, Paul Ryan 1035 01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,800 Speaker 1: gets really excited. He's like, oh, gee gosh, this is 1036 01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:56,560 Speaker 1: gonna be great tax cut. Yea. So sure, this is 1037 01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,520 Speaker 1: something that Republican congressmen always say they want and I 1038 01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:04,840 Speaker 1: think actually do want. Unlike immigration, where the GOP, the 1039 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,800 Speaker 1: the elected officials of the GOP are often lying and 1040 01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 1: misleading their own constituents, never mind the general public, on 1041 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,080 Speaker 1: what they want for immigration. With tax because yeah, they 1042 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,560 Speaker 1: want tax cuts, and they want corporations to have more 1043 01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 1: cash on hand, which will certainly translate into political donations. 1044 01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,080 Speaker 1: Let's not be let's not be naive, my friends. But 1045 01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,840 Speaker 1: I think it will also do good things for the economy. Right, 1046 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,840 Speaker 1: more money, This is a very basic conservative notion. Right, 1047 01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,160 Speaker 1: more money in the hands of the individuals who earn 1048 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:37,200 Speaker 1: it is a better thing than more money for the 1049 01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:41,360 Speaker 1: federal government taking it from those people, and this is 1050 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:44,240 Speaker 1: we shall we shall see how this plays on the 1051 01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:48,360 Speaker 1: political side. But for in the meantime, I think that 1052 01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,160 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a win, a win for the administration. 1053 01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:52,920 Speaker 1: I think they will get I'm not sure they'll get 1054 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:54,000 Speaker 1: it done before the end of year, but I do 1055 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 1: think they'll get it done relatively soon. And I think 1056 01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,200 Speaker 1: the what what they they decided the four oh one Hey, 1057 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,560 Speaker 1: we'll stay the same. That was a big sticking point. 1058 01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 1: So the four one K is not gonna get touched 1059 01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 1: as of right now. Remember this is just the House 1060 01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:09,360 Speaker 1: version of the bill. The Senate may have their own 1061 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,120 Speaker 1: version the next got to go into going to conference 1062 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,360 Speaker 1: and figure it out, hammer out the differences. If there's 1063 01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:18,120 Speaker 1: a difference to the Senate bill. Um. But we'll see. 1064 01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:24,280 Speaker 1: I know, right, taxes everybody who tax some um, So 1065 01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,600 Speaker 1: we got to do our taxes thing. For today. Maybe 1066 01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:28,400 Speaker 1: I'll have on I think we were gonna have uh, 1067 01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, we'll invite on an economist or 1068 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 1: two and they can tell you about how this is 1069 01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,560 Speaker 1: gonna be like the greatest thing since the Reagan tax 1070 01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:36,760 Speaker 1: cuts and all that. Maybe that's all true. I hope 1071 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 1: it's true. Um, but I don't get quite as excited, 1072 01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 1: especially because we haven't it hasn't been passed yet. I do. 1073 01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put this out there. I kind of wish, 1074 01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,040 Speaker 1: why can't we have a flat tax? You know, still 1075 01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 1: got a progressive tax system still, And people say, oh, 1076 01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,840 Speaker 1: you could never do that. Well, if you got rid 1077 01:04:55,840 --> 01:05:02,200 Speaker 1: of all deductions, all of them on all income over fifty, 1078 01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean that seems reasonable or thirty or whatever, it 1079 01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:09,080 Speaker 1: would be twenty. I don't know. They're saying that your 1080 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:10,800 Speaker 1: taxes are gonna be so much easier now. I don't 1081 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:12,680 Speaker 1: really see how that's the case yet. They're just they're 1082 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,560 Speaker 1: condensing some of the brackets, but you're still paying a 1083 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 1: lot in taxes, still paying a lot of money in 1084 01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,320 Speaker 1: taxes everybody. And by the way, we are still very 1085 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 1: very far from balancing a budget, but no one wants 1086 01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: talk about that. Man. We're just gonna like do the 1087 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:29,400 Speaker 1: awesome stuff and Republicans, yea, all that all my good stuff. 1088 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,200 Speaker 1: So there's that. So there we have taxes. Yea. Let's 1089 01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,760 Speaker 1: talk a bit on the other side of this break 1090 01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:42,080 Speaker 1: about mm hmmm.

You see, it's very 1101 01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:21,760 Speaker 1: tough because every time I want to talk to you 1102 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:28,040 Speaker 1: about the exaggerated environment right now for sexual harassment, I 1103 01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:32,120 Speaker 1: also feel like we are either there's another story of 1104 01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,120 Speaker 1: something terrible that somebody did, right, So these are these 1105 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,600 Speaker 1: are things that can exist simultaneously. There can be very 1106 01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 1: bad people that have done very bad things under the 1107 01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:44,920 Speaker 1: general general umbrella of sexual misconduct. But there also can 1108 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,920 Speaker 1: be people who didn't do something that's very bad who 1109 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 1: are getting caught up in the outrage machinery right now 1110 01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,640 Speaker 1: of men are you know, men are pigs and do 1111 01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,800 Speaker 1: terrible things, and there we need to hold them all 1112 01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 1: to account.

We need 1115 01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:08,160 Speaker 1: to make sure that there's some clarity added into that discussion. 1116 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 1: Oh and you thought I was done talking about taxes. 1117 01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:19,120 Speaker 1: Taxation is theft, Like that's true. Actually taxation is legalized. 1118 01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,680 Speaker 1: Theft is stealing. I do not like that the government 1119 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 1: is able to just say, you know what, that that 1120 01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,080 Speaker 1: stuff you have, I'm just gonna take it from you, 1121 01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:28,760 Speaker 1: at least as much of it as I say I'm 1122 01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:32,320 Speaker 1: taking from you. I always enjoyed it in the show 1123 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:37,080 Speaker 1: Parks and Recreation, Parks and Wreck when Ron Swanson has 1124 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:40,600 Speaker 1: a a young lady who was visiting in his office 1125 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,000 Speaker 1: and he takes her sandwich and takes a big bite 1126 01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,280 Speaker 1: of it, like a third, and he goes, that is 1127 01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, he explains that that is taxation government. It's like, oh, 1128 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:51,680 Speaker 1: thank you for your sandwich, I will take a third 1129 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 1: of it now. Um, that's still going to be the 1130 01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 1: case for a lot of people. I want to give 1131 01:07:56,760 --> 01:08:00,800 Speaker 1: you some specifics here because I was just musing and 1132 01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,760 Speaker 1: thinking about the tax situation. Here's where we get Courtesy 1133 01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:09,760 Speaker 1: of Fox News. The legislation simplifies how Americans file their taxes. 1134 01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,880 Speaker 1: It would be completed. The filing system would be able 1135 01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:16,639 Speaker 1: to be completed on a postcard with just fifteen lines 1136 01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,160 Speaker 1: for most Americans. Plan also shrinks the number of tax 1137 01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:24,120 Speaker 1: brackets from seven to three or four, with respective rates 1138 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,000 Speaker 1: of twelve, twenty five percent, thirty five percent, and a 1139 01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:31,200 Speaker 1: category still to be The plan sets a twenty five 1140 01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,880 Speaker 1: percent tax rates starting at ninety thod dollars for married couples, 1141 01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:38,400 Speaker 1: with a thirty five percent rate beginning at two hundred 1142 01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:43,040 Speaker 1: and sixty thousand, which means many upper income families whose 1143 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:48,960 Speaker 1: operated thirty three would face higher taxes. Individuals making five 1144 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,680 Speaker 1: hundred thousand and couples earning one million would face the 1145 01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 1: current Clinton era top rate of thirty nine point six percent. 1146 01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:58,439 Speaker 1: So there's there's still some you know, it's just some 1147 01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,680 Speaker 1: pretty high taxes in there for higher earners. And the 1148 01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,120 Speaker 1: amount of taxes paid by those who are in the 1149 01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:10,200 Speaker 1: top of earners is pretty staggering. This top basically all 1150 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:12,680 Speaker 1: of it taxes are paid by the top fifth of 1151 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,280 Speaker 1: the of those who were earners. Right that that's who 1152 01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,640 Speaker 1: pays taxes overwhelmingly in this country. Although we all I 1153 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:22,160 Speaker 1: guess pay in the form of consumption taxes and all 1154 01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:23,960 Speaker 1: the rest of it. I don't know. I you know, 1155 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,640 Speaker 1: people are very excited. It depends on what publication. Right 1156 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,240 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal is like, oh my gosh, taxation. 1157 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,679 Speaker 1: They're like doing backflips and be like whoa taxes. Other 1158 01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:34,759 Speaker 1: places are a little more like, yeah, all right, the rates. 1159 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it'll get a little bit better. It's not 1160 01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 1: gonna be amazing, though. It would be so great. It 1161 01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,000 Speaker 1: would be so great if we could get down like 1162 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 1: a fifteen or a lot of tax right, but it's 1163 01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,759 Speaker 1: just not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. I worry 1164 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,560 Speaker 1: just putting this out there that we're not going to 1165 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,040 Speaker 1: deal with the fact that we're still spending too much 1166 01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:56,320 Speaker 1: money as a country every year until it's too late 1167 01:09:56,320 --> 01:10:01,839 Speaker 1: for us to avoid a major economic crisis. And that crisis, 1168 01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:05,519 Speaker 1: kind of like the housing crisis, will be blamed on 1169 01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,799 Speaker 1: whichever Republican happens to be in office. It was George Bush, 1170 01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:14,479 Speaker 1: it will be this time around, maybe Donald Trump. That's unfortunate. See, 1171 01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 1: we we may have Look, I don't want to be 1172 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be the the doubter here. But 1173 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 1: even if we get this tax cut through and it 1174 01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,200 Speaker 1: shows a lot of growth and a lot of good things, 1175 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:32,000 Speaker 1: I am concerned. I am concerned that unless we deal 1176 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,640 Speaker 1: with some of these structural problems within the economy, we 1177 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:40,280 Speaker 1: will be in a position where the music is gonna 1178 01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,639 Speaker 1: stop and people are gonna have a chair and picture cliche. 1179 01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:48,120 Speaker 1: It's just gonna fall apart. Um, It's just gonna fall apart. 1180 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:50,160 Speaker 1: So we have to deal with that. It's not a 1181 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,640 Speaker 1: conversation anybody particularly wants to have now, And I wonder why. 1182 01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,120 Speaker 1: I remember back in twelve and everyone was like, we 1183 01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,720 Speaker 1: cannot keep spending so much money, and I was like, yeah, 1184 01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm with you, we cannot spend so much money. And 1185 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, the DEA's not twenty trillion dollars. And no 1186 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 1: one really seems to care. I really mean that. I 1187 01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:09,640 Speaker 1: don't hear anybody talking about it very much. And so 1188 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:12,639 Speaker 1: it's hard to be the one guy who sits here 1189 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,280 Speaker 1: in the radio studios like, you know this is a problem, right, 1190 01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 1: You know that that there will be a correction of 1191 01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 1: the stock market, there will be a major change in 1192 01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:24,160 Speaker 1: what feels like an endless status quo for the economy 1193 01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,719 Speaker 1: right now, and it's not going to be a fair 1194 01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,400 Speaker 1: discussion about how we got here right now. No one's 1195 01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,559 Speaker 1: gonna say, oh, remember one Obama. Well I shouldn't say 1196 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,840 Speaker 1: no one, but the Democrats are never gonna say, oh, yeah, 1197 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:35,960 Speaker 1: Obama has been way too much money and things got 1198 01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,679 Speaker 1: out of control, and then the Republicans didn't fix things, 1199 01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:41,880 Speaker 1: which would be a more accurate version of it. No. No, 1200 01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:44,639 Speaker 1: if it happens while Trump is in office, it's all 1201 01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:46,760 Speaker 1: going to be blamed on Trump. So I just think 1202 01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:51,439 Speaker 1: we should probably prepare for the possibility this whole thing 1203 01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:55,519 Speaker 1: starts to get a little shaky. Um. We should at 1204 01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:59,240 Speaker 1: least be aware of the fact that the drag on 1205 01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 1: the economy that comes from the debt is very real. 1206 01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:08,559 Speaker 1: It's much harder to define and to specify. But I'm 1207 01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,160 Speaker 1: just putting it out there. I'm putting out there, and 1208 01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,240 Speaker 1: then I could also if I could just for a 1209 01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:19,320 Speaker 1: moment here, Uh, I see that they update things. This 1210 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,040 Speaker 1: is particularly true at true at CNNA. They update the 1211 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:27,520 Speaker 1: Special Council Investigation as though they're giving us the pregame 1212 01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:31,120 Speaker 1: stats for the Super Bowl right now. It's like Jared 1213 01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:36,599 Speaker 1: Kushner turned over documents to the Special Council. I don't 1214 01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,600 Speaker 1: think anybody really cares unless you think that this is 1215 01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,960 Speaker 1: all gonna be a big deal still, right, they are. 1216 01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,120 Speaker 1: They are clinging to this notion that there will be 1217 01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:51,840 Speaker 1: a much bigger reveal from the entire Mueller Special Counsel thing. 1218 01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:55,439 Speaker 1: And it's just one of these, one of these very 1219 01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:59,960 Speaker 1: crystal clear instances of I guess you call it me 1220 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,200 Speaker 1: the a Balkanization or you know, you have to be 1221 01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:07,280 Speaker 1: preaching to the left wing choir at this point to 1222 01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:09,439 Speaker 1: think that it's a good idea to spend a lot 1223 01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:11,519 Speaker 1: of time on stories about the Russia collusion thing. But 1224 01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:15,439 Speaker 1: they're they're still doing it. They are still very much 1225 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:20,559 Speaker 1: um focused in on that. So expect I think next 1226 01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,560 Speaker 1: week you can expect they'll be a series of updates 1227 01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:27,720 Speaker 1: about how Papadopoulos was part of a global conspiracy to 1228 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,040 Speaker 1: undermine the Allie, you know, whatever it is. I don't 1229 01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:31,760 Speaker 1: even know what they're gonna make up, but I'm sure 1230 01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:35,040 Speaker 1: it'll be. It'll be frightening and creative at the same time. 1231 01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:39,120 Speaker 1: So that much is for short. Jocko Willing coming up 1232 01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:41,080 Speaker 1: in a few minutes to talk to us about his 1233 01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,280 Speaker 1: book which is on discipline. Discipline is one of the 1234 01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:47,280 Speaker 1: most important things in life. Discipline and endurance is really 1235 01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:50,000 Speaker 1: all you need, in my opinion, for success. If you 1236 01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:53,320 Speaker 1: have discipline and you can endure and whatever you're doing, 1237 01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:57,080 Speaker 1: you'll probably be successful. But they're both very, very hard things, 1238 01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,120 Speaker 1: which I will be reminding myself later tonight when I like, 1239 01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:02,680 Speaker 1: I mean, do I need to have half of a 1240 01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:07,360 Speaker 1: dark chocolate bar before I watch the TV show? The 1241 01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,320 Speaker 1: answers yes, the answers yes, I do need to have 1242 01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:13,800 Speaker 1: half of that bar. So we have Jocko Willing on 1243 01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:16,840 Speaker 1: the line. He is a decorated Navy Navy seal and 1244 01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:20,439 Speaker 1: a best selling author, including of Extreme Ownership, which has 1245 01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:24,120 Speaker 1: spent two straight years on the Wall Street Journals Business List. 1246 01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:28,719 Speaker 1: He's here to discuss his new book, though Discipline Equals Freedom, 1247 01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:31,920 Speaker 1: a Field Manual. Jocko, great to have you, Thanks for 1248 01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:36,920 Speaker 1: having me on Buck tell us about how discipline equals freedom, sir, Well, 1249 01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,920 Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious when you think about it, and it's 1250 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,919 Speaker 1: not too obviously if you don't think about it. Obviously, 1251 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,040 Speaker 1: in our life we all want freedom. We want as 1252 01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,960 Speaker 1: much freedom as we can possibly get, and people get 1253 01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:50,200 Speaker 1: lost in the fact, they think that the pathway to 1254 01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:53,600 Speaker 1: freedom is through freedom, but that actually doesn't work. In 1255 01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:55,720 Speaker 1: order to get to freedom, you have to have discipline, 1256 01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:57,600 Speaker 1: and that's what the book is about. How do we 1257 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,479 Speaker 1: take steps towards discipline? I mean, what how do you 1258 01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,720 Speaker 1: get people in the mindset Jacob and you worked with 1259 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,600 Speaker 1: the most elite warriors in the world, right, how do 1260 01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,559 Speaker 1: you get people who aren't from that kind of a 1261 01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:13,040 Speaker 1: background to start instilling discipline in their day to day lives. Well, again, 1262 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,840 Speaker 1: a lot of it just comes from the initial recognition 1263 01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:18,479 Speaker 1: that if you want freedom, you gotta have discipline. So 1264 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:21,080 Speaker 1: the real easy example that I use all the time 1265 01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,200 Speaker 1: is if you want to have financial freedom, which everyone 1266 01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:25,080 Speaker 1: wants to have financial freedom, well, then you gotta have 1267 01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,439 Speaker 1: financial discipline. You gotta have the discipline to work hard, 1268 01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,120 Speaker 1: you gotta have the discipline to save your money. You 1269 01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,479 Speaker 1: gotta have the discipline to make smart investments. You gotta 1270 01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:33,640 Speaker 1: have the discipline to not spend money on things that 1271 01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,160 Speaker 1: you don't actually need. And if you have that kind 1272 01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 1: of financial discipline, well eventually you'll end up with financial freedom. 1273 01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:42,599 Speaker 1: And that applies to really everything in your life. And 1274 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:47,240 Speaker 1: tell me about stepping aggressively toward your fear. Something else 1275 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:51,439 Speaker 1: that you talk about in discipline equals freedom. Well, what 1276 01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,559 Speaker 1: do most people do with your fears? They avoid them. 1277 01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:56,720 Speaker 1: And when you avoid your fears and your turn your 1278 01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,759 Speaker 1: back on them, they don't get better, they actually get worse. 1279 01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,439 Speaker 1: So when you're afraid of something, what you should actually 1280 01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,640 Speaker 1: do is step to it. And a good example of 1281 01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:07,120 Speaker 1: that if you're having a problem. Let's say you're in 1282 01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,000 Speaker 1: the business world and you're having a problem with a client, 1283 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:11,920 Speaker 1: and a lot of people what they'll do is they'll 1284 01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:13,800 Speaker 1: avoid that phone call. They don't want to tell the 1285 01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:16,360 Speaker 1: client that something has gone wrong with their account, and 1286 01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,760 Speaker 1: so instead they just avoid it. And what happens while 1287 01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,200 Speaker 1: you avoid making that phone call, the problem just get worse. 1288 01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:23,599 Speaker 1: It doesn't go away. And so that's what I'm saying 1289 01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,479 Speaker 1: is if you've got a problem, if you've got a fear, 1290 01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:27,200 Speaker 1: something that you don't want to deal with, the best 1291 01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:30,000 Speaker 1: thing you can do is step towards that fear, and 1292 01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,920 Speaker 1: that will make you confront it and you'll put it 1293 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:36,160 Speaker 1: aside and get through it. Tell me about fighting the 1294 01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:41,040 Speaker 1: feeling of not feeling it. Well, this is one of 1295 01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:44,320 Speaker 1: those classic things where people wake up in the morning 1296 01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,439 Speaker 1: and they'll say, you know, maybe I'll skip my workout 1297 01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:49,720 Speaker 1: today because I'm just I'm just really not feeling it. 1298 01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 1: And what I do and I'm not feeling it is 1299 01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,800 Speaker 1: I make sure that I feel it. I turn it on, 1300 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,160 Speaker 1: I step it up. I realized that I'm being weak, 1301 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,280 Speaker 1: and I just overcompensate and push super hard. And I 1302 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,920 Speaker 1: think that's the best way to get over when you 1303 01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:07,960 Speaker 1: don't feel it, is to make sure that you feel it. 1304 01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:11,479 Speaker 1: We're speaking to Jocko Willing, who is a decorated Navy seal. 1305 01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:15,599 Speaker 1: He's got a new book out, Discipline Equals Freedom, a 1306 01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:21,360 Speaker 1: Field Manual. Jocko, tell me more about how you feel 1307 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:26,280 Speaker 1: like regret is worthless something that you tackle in the book. Well, 1308 01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,639 Speaker 1: there is a little tiny bit of value and regret 1309 01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:30,280 Speaker 1: and I talked about that as well and there and 1310 01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 1: then the value that you get from regret is you 1311 01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,600 Speaker 1: learned something. Right, If you made a mistake and you 1312 01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:39,080 Speaker 1: regret that, what what action you took in the past, Well, okay, 1313 01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 1: at least you can learn something from that. Once you've 1314 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:44,000 Speaker 1: figured out what the lesson that you learned is, then 1315 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,559 Speaker 1: it's time to move forward. Because if you're sitting around 1316 01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:50,160 Speaker 1: thinking about regrets. Now, all you're doing is taken away 1317 01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,519 Speaker 1: energy from what you should be focused on, which is 1318 01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:56,479 Speaker 1: moving forward and improving your station in life. What if 1319 01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:59,080 Speaker 1: if I could just draw upon your extensive seal experience 1320 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:03,480 Speaker 1: for a moment, JOCKO, What what is the primary characteristic 1321 01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:06,479 Speaker 1: of the mindset of someone who's going to get through 1322 01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,840 Speaker 1: Bud's training to actually become a seal? And if you 1323 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:12,240 Speaker 1: could identify one thing, what would it be or maybe 1324 01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:15,280 Speaker 1: a couple of things. Well, it's it's real simple. And 1325 01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:17,040 Speaker 1: people ask me this all the time. I'll get young 1326 01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,040 Speaker 1: guys that are heading the seal training and they say, 1327 01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:20,599 Speaker 1: what do what do I need to do to get 1328 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:22,559 Speaker 1: through the training? It's actually really easy to get through 1329 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:23,880 Speaker 1: the training. Ill I have to do is not quit. 1330 01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:28,000 Speaker 1: That's the JEF to do. Don't quit. And it's eighty 1331 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,920 Speaker 1: eight roughly eight percent that people quit. And if you 1332 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,000 Speaker 1: don't quit, then you make it through the training. So 1333 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 1: if you want to make it through, don't quit. So 1334 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 1: it is it is. It is a mental as well 1335 01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:40,240 Speaker 1: as physical endurance test of the of the highest order. 1336 01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:43,880 Speaker 1: And in terms of learning from mistakes, I mean, you 1337 01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:45,920 Speaker 1: were on the front lines. I know, you served in 1338 01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:50,240 Speaker 1: Iraq and we're in Ramadi when Ramadi was a very 1339 01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,960 Speaker 1: very spicy place to be. Um, what what were some 1340 01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,240 Speaker 1: of the things that you learned from your experiences as 1341 01:18:56,240 --> 01:19:00,200 Speaker 1: a commander of Navy seals that's applicable to folks just 1342 01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:05,720 Speaker 1: trying to better themselves. Well, again, the battle or Mati was, Yes, 1343 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,639 Speaker 1: it is a very very difficult fighting uh, incredible effort 1344 01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:12,599 Speaker 1: by U. S. Army soldiers and marines that were fighting there, 1345 01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:15,479 Speaker 1: and we were honored to serve alongside those guys. And 1346 01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:18,720 Speaker 1: we certainly learned about teamwork, We certainly learned about leadership. 1347 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,280 Speaker 1: And one of the most important lessons that that we 1348 01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:24,360 Speaker 1: really confirmed and solidified there was the fact that you 1349 01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:26,120 Speaker 1: have to take ownership of things that are going on. 1350 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,200 Speaker 1: So in a leadership position, you know, that's what the 1351 01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:30,640 Speaker 1: book Extreme Ownership is about. You know, you're in a 1352 01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:34,599 Speaker 1: leadership position. If there's mistakes and there's errors, and there's 1353 01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:37,360 Speaker 1: problems that you're having, you have to take ownership of 1354 01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,200 Speaker 1: those problems. And if no one on the team is 1355 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:41,080 Speaker 1: taking ownership of the problems, then the problems are never 1356 01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:44,559 Speaker 1: gonna get solved. So that's probably the biggest lesson that 1357 01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:47,040 Speaker 1: I walked away from the Battle of Ramadi was and 1358 01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,840 Speaker 1: I like one thing that that you mentioned here in 1359 01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,200 Speaker 1: your book about how you should be afraid of failure, 1360 01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:55,360 Speaker 1: but even more afraid of doing of essentially not being 1361 01:19:55,360 --> 01:20:00,360 Speaker 1: in the game at all. Yeah. Absolutely. My people always day, well, 1362 01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm afraid to fail, and I say, well, that's good 1363 01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:04,720 Speaker 1: because I was. I was always afraid to fail. And 1364 01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:07,479 Speaker 1: because I was afraid to fail, that mean that ment 1365 01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:09,240 Speaker 1: I was going to train harder. That mean men, I 1366 01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:11,800 Speaker 1: was going to prepare harder. That meant that I was 1367 01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:15,519 Speaker 1: going to do everything I could could to mitigate the 1368 01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,680 Speaker 1: possibility of failing. And so fear is a good thing, 1369 01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 1: and fear of failure is a good thing. But the 1370 01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:24,439 Speaker 1: biggest fear you should have is actually being so afraid 1371 01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:26,720 Speaker 1: of failing that you're not gonna do anything, and you're 1372 01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:30,479 Speaker 1: gonna wake up in one month, three months, six months, 1373 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,120 Speaker 1: or six years and realize that whatever goal it was 1374 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,600 Speaker 1: that you wanted to achieve, you haven't even moved at 1375 01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:37,519 Speaker 1: all because you were afraid to get out of the 1376 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:41,080 Speaker 1: starting game. Jacko. You tell us also in this book, 1377 01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:44,320 Speaker 1: too uh to build a routine on stretching. Now, now, 1378 01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 1: from the look of it. People would assume that you're 1379 01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 1: a guy who spends a lot of time deadlifting a 1380 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:52,080 Speaker 1: lot of weight, they wouldn't necessarily expect you to be 1381 01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:55,400 Speaker 1: giving a giving advice on a stretching routine. But I 1382 01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:57,720 Speaker 1: know that that's a great thing for people to do. 1383 01:20:58,120 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 1: What made you put that in the book and how 1384 01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,800 Speaker 1: did somebody go about getting started with that? Well, you 1385 01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,679 Speaker 1: gotta at the physical human being. You've got to maintain 1386 01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:08,360 Speaker 1: some someone's a balance. And so, yeah, you definitely want 1387 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,440 Speaker 1: to be strong, and you want to have good cardiovascular 1388 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,240 Speaker 1: but you've also got to You've also got to maintain 1389 01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:16,640 Speaker 1: mobility and flexibility, and and if you do sports like 1390 01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:21,519 Speaker 1: jiu jitsu and other martial arts, definitely being flexible and 1391 01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 1: mobile is important. But beyond that, just in day to 1392 01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,360 Speaker 1: day life, being flexible and being mobile is important. So 1393 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:29,919 Speaker 1: if you've got to maintain that some kind of stretching 1394 01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:32,719 Speaker 1: so that you maintain that mobility and flexibility throughout your life. 1395 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:34,880 Speaker 1: Last thing for your jocket before let you go, we 1396 01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:37,080 Speaker 1: appreciate you making the time today. You say here to 1397 01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:41,240 Speaker 1: use extreme caution with with all firearms. Um, I know 1398 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,160 Speaker 1: that that's it sort of goes without saying but I 1399 01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,680 Speaker 1: just wanted you to, you know, extrapolate on that a 1400 01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:48,240 Speaker 1: little bit. It's it's an important safety tip that people 1401 01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:52,320 Speaker 1: can't hear enough of. Well, absolutely, I'm you know, a 1402 01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:57,719 Speaker 1: believer obviously in in firearms and the the complete gift 1403 01:21:57,800 --> 01:21:59,960 Speaker 1: they are two people. If you are going to do 1404 01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:05,360 Speaker 1: send yourself, there's nothing better than having firearms. But also obviously, 1405 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:10,040 Speaker 1: if firearms are misused or handled unsafely, they can they 1406 01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:13,920 Speaker 1: can kill people and and cause horrible accidents. So you've 1407 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:17,000 Speaker 1: got to follow the basic the basic firearms safety number 1408 01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,000 Speaker 1: one being always treat every firearm is if it's loaded. 1409 01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:23,839 Speaker 1: And that's probably the biggest mistake where accidents happened with firearms. 1410 01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:26,640 Speaker 1: And I remember hearing from somebody from the one of 1411 01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,680 Speaker 1: your fellow Special Operations community members when I was just 1412 01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:33,040 Speaker 1: an analyst and trying to learn some of the basics 1413 01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:35,960 Speaker 1: of of handling more advanced firearms, said that one of 1414 01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,160 Speaker 1: the problems that you'll come across is that some people 1415 01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:42,160 Speaker 1: who actually are very comfortable with firearms become too comfortable. 1416 01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:45,960 Speaker 1: Then they become a little cavalier. And even even someone 1417 01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,080 Speaker 1: who's an elite marksman and really knows what they're doing, 1418 01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:52,040 Speaker 1: if they lose respect for the firearms they're handling. Mistakes 1419 01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:55,280 Speaker 1: can happen. That's what I was told. You're right, and 1420 01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:59,559 Speaker 1: you should always treat firearms with utmost respect and always 1421 01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,479 Speaker 1: treat them as if they're loaded. You know, never point 1422 01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:04,840 Speaker 1: them at anything you don't mean to destroy, keep your 1423 01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:06,920 Speaker 1: finger off the trigger until you're ready to engage the target. 1424 01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 1: You gotta follow those fundamental rules all the time, and 1425 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,919 Speaker 1: then firearms are safe. Jocko. Jocko, will and everybody. Discipline 1426 01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:16,200 Speaker 1: Equals Freedom a Field Manual.

Everyone check out his book Discipline Equals Freedom 1431 01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:31,760 Speaker 1: a Field Manual because you're running the world. And I 1432 01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:34,080 Speaker 1: know that's one of the questions. It's like raising our men. 1433 01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:37,679 Speaker 1: We got to rask talking to my mother day. It's 1434 01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:41,880 Speaker 1: like the problem in the world today is we we 1435 01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:45,719 Speaker 1: we love our our boys, and we raise our girls, 1436 01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, we raise them to be strong, and sometimes 1437 01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:53,680 Speaker 1: we take care not to hurt men. And and I 1438 01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:56,720 Speaker 1: think we pay for that a little bit. And that's 1439 01:23:56,720 --> 01:24:00,479 Speaker 1: a wee thing because we're raising them, you know, and 1440 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,519 Speaker 1: it's powerful to have strong men, But what does that 1441 01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:06,439 Speaker 1: strength mean? You know? Does it mean respect? Does it 1442 01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:10,920 Speaker 1: mean responsibility? Does it mean compassion? Or are we protecting 1443 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,439 Speaker 1: our men too much so they feel a little entitled 1444 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:18,360 Speaker 1: and a little you know, uh, you know, a little 1445 01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,679 Speaker 1: self righteous sometimes. But that's kind of on us too, 1446 01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:27,080 Speaker 1: as ass as women and mothers, you know, as we 1447 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:33,280 Speaker 1: nurture men and push girls to be perfect. That was 1448 01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:40,520 Speaker 1: former First Lady Michelle Obama. And that was blather, nonsense, 1449 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:48,840 Speaker 1: piffle clap trap. It was a waste of of her 1450 01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:52,439 Speaker 1: breath and a waste of everyone's time listening to it, 1451 01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:57,800 Speaker 1: although maybe in some ways illuminated what is now a 1452 01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:01,320 Speaker 1: fashionable pause ship on the left, which is to just 1453 01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:08,320 Speaker 1: take a somewhat derogatory, a somewhat condescending or undermining view 1454 01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:14,840 Speaker 1: of men of roughly one half of the earth's population. 1455 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,640 Speaker 1: When I say it that way, I know it sounds 1456 01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:25,320 Speaker 1: so incredibly dumb that no one could take that seriously, right, 1457 01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:27,559 Speaker 1: But but you do see it happening. I mean, if 1458 01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:28,800 Speaker 1: you go back and you were to listen to that 1459 01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,519 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama clip again. It looks she's somebody who's treated 1460 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:37,000 Speaker 1: with tremendous deference and reverence on the left. What what 1461 01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:40,759 Speaker 1: is she even saying? What do some of these things 1462 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:45,120 Speaker 1: that she's saying mean? What? What does it mean she says, 1463 01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:50,599 Speaker 1: for example, that we raise our girls, we love our boys. 1464 01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:55,719 Speaker 1: Who is she referring to with this? And and how 1465 01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:59,479 Speaker 1: is she I'm not even really clear on what the 1466 01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,400 Speaker 1: distinction is. She's trying to make this whole notion of 1467 01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,439 Speaker 1: men feeling and she says men feel entitled and we're 1468 01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:14,120 Speaker 1: protecting our men. Uh from what? How? This to me 1469 01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,400 Speaker 1: is just well, there's a few things here. First of all, 1470 01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:19,320 Speaker 1: you can tell it no one is ever allowed to 1471 01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:23,280 Speaker 1: challenge what Michelle Obama says. She's never in an environment 1472 01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,439 Speaker 1: and look, she's a former first Lady, she can do 1473 01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:29,960 Speaker 1: whatever she wants, right, but she does not put herself 1474 01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:32,200 Speaker 1: in an environment where anyone's allowed to say, I'm sorry, 1475 01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:36,120 Speaker 1: what does that mean? What are you trying to say? 1476 01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,200 Speaker 1: What is the point of what you were saying? No, 1477 01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:42,000 Speaker 1: she's and this is not new right. I've seen interviews 1478 01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:43,960 Speaker 1: with her on the view and on the you know 1479 01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:47,920 Speaker 1: that this show, and then that show and Michelle Obama's commentary. 1480 01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:50,360 Speaker 1: And she is a public figure, and she's clearly a 1481 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:54,559 Speaker 1: political figure, always treated with reverence. I actually can tell 1482 01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:59,080 Speaker 1: you this. She gives speeches and and is uh and 1483 01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,040 Speaker 1: and had a large staff which has since been made 1484 01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:05,479 Speaker 1: considerably smaller under this presidency. But she had a large 1485 01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:10,439 Speaker 1: staff as first Lady, and she I've never seen her 1486 01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:13,479 Speaker 1: contradicted once. I've never seen anyone say, you know, I 1487 01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:17,799 Speaker 1: don't know if that's a I mean, I mean in person, 1488 01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:21,559 Speaker 1: right or on air or anything. I've only heard everything 1489 01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:26,439 Speaker 1: she says. It's perfect and brilliant. Everything that she tells 1490 01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 1: all the rest of us, whether it's about school lunches 1491 01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:33,720 Speaker 1: or you know, you name it, it's it's always exactly 1492 01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:40,439 Speaker 1: picture perfect what it is supposed to be. And that's 1493 01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:44,120 Speaker 1: not true. I mean that that whole series of statements 1494 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:48,320 Speaker 1: she just went through there about how we uh, we 1495 01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:53,720 Speaker 1: nurture our men and we expect perfect women. This is 1496 01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:59,200 Speaker 1: like some strange misplaced feminism mixed with ay, I don't 1497 01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:04,760 Speaker 1: know what, like like you know, girl power. It's but 1498 01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,519 Speaker 1: there is this wave in the country right now because 1499 01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:15,080 Speaker 1: of some of the admittedly horrific revelations about the conduct 1500 01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:19,720 Speaker 1: of certain men who are powerful and men on on Yes, 1501 01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:22,000 Speaker 1: there's men on both sides of the political aisle who 1502 01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:26,320 Speaker 1: abuse their position, and and there's such a huge there's 1503 01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:29,080 Speaker 1: such an enormous scope of what we talked about when 1504 01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:32,800 Speaker 1: we discuss the bad behavior of men and powerful positions, right, 1505 01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we should not be having a discussion and 1506 01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,280 Speaker 1: I'll be talking more about this in a few minutes, 1507 01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:40,200 Speaker 1: but we should not be having a discussion about, you know, 1508 01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:46,599 Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein, alleged serial rapist in anything near the same 1509 01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:53,960 Speaker 1: paragraph or or conversation as you know, did Jeremy Paven, 1510 01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:56,559 Speaker 1: who's an actor who's now his name has gotten dragged 1511 01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:58,800 Speaker 1: in this, did he I don't know, I don't know 1512 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:00,840 Speaker 1: what he's accused of, but you know something, I mean, 1513 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,439 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's not sexual assault. My understanding, and 1514 01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 1: this could change my understanding, is that Jeremy Piven was 1515 01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:11,200 Speaker 1: accused of being, you know, propositioning a woman that he 1516 01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:15,679 Speaker 1: worked with. Those are not the same things, right, Attacking 1517 01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:17,799 Speaker 1: somebody and committing a criminal act is not the same 1518 01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:22,960 Speaker 1: thing in any stretch of the universe as saying, hey, 1519 01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:24,519 Speaker 1: you know, I want to come back to my hotel room, 1520 01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:27,000 Speaker 1: someone says no, and you leave them alone. Those are 1521 01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:29,559 Speaker 1: not the same. But there's this moment, there is an 1522 01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:34,000 Speaker 1: anti male moment right now in this country. The media 1523 01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:38,080 Speaker 1: is seizing on and it is It is troubling, and 1524 01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:42,400 Speaker 1: I think that Michelle Obama was in some weird way 1525 01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:45,400 Speaker 1: playing into that. But then again, I'm I'm also willing 1526 01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:48,120 Speaker 1: to note that I don't know what Michelle Obama thinks 1527 01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:50,960 Speaker 1: that she's saying. I mean, that's not helpful. It's also 1528 01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:57,320 Speaker 1: it's such a generalization as to be utterly worthless women 1529 01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:59,920 Speaker 1: in this I mean, I assume she's talking about only 1530 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:04,439 Speaker 1: in America. Right, women in this country are nurturing men 1531 01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:08,040 Speaker 1: and expecting women to be perfect. Now, I look, I 1532 01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,759 Speaker 1: don't have kids. I understand, right, there's a whole series 1533 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:14,920 Speaker 1: of of of attacks that I would open myself up 1534 01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:18,200 Speaker 1: to here by questioning the first lady on this. But 1535 01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:21,439 Speaker 1: I'm just saying her whole line, of the whole line 1536 01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:27,200 Speaker 1: of not argument but a line of reasoning, was just flimsy. 1537 01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:30,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even, I don't even I'm unable 1538 01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:35,559 Speaker 1: to come to a real conclusion about what she thinks 1539 01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:39,120 Speaker 1: she's saying, which is troubling because she has a lot 1540 01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:42,240 Speaker 1: of it's treated, like I said, treated with reverence, and 1541 01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:44,200 Speaker 1: has a lot of credibility of the media is still 1542 01:30:44,240 --> 01:30:48,960 Speaker 1: and you know, any any criticism of the former First 1543 01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:55,240 Speaker 1: Lady is is to be met with fierce howls of 1544 01:30:55,360 --> 01:31:00,400 Speaker 1: indignation and outrage from the media. Still. So I'm not 1545 01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:04,000 Speaker 1: criticizing the First Lady as a as a matter of 1546 01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:06,200 Speaker 1: whether I like her or not or anything else. I 1547 01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:09,680 Speaker 1: just I don't know why she's giving a speech and 1548 01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:12,479 Speaker 1: saying that men are essentially men are coddled and entitled 1549 01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,200 Speaker 1: and women are expected to be perfect. To me, that's 1550 01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:18,800 Speaker 1: just you know what it is. It's just gender pandering. 1551 01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:24,720 Speaker 1: It's gender pandering. And this happens if you think about it, 1552 01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:28,240 Speaker 1: you know, honestly, it does go on, especially among the left. 1553 01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:32,559 Speaker 1: You know what's another example of gender pandering the pay gap, 1554 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:37,360 Speaker 1: which has been studied and studied. It is not true, 1555 01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:41,120 Speaker 1: but nonetheless people say, what is its seventy seven cents 1556 01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:42,760 Speaker 1: on the dollar. I don't even remember what the you know, 1557 01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:46,160 Speaker 1: seventy eight cents on the dollar. It's not true, but 1558 01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:52,400 Speaker 1: people say it because it panders to one gender. And 1559 01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:55,639 Speaker 1: also the moment that you point to the social science 1560 01:31:55,720 --> 01:32:01,719 Speaker 1: and show that women in general in their career paths 1561 01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:05,400 Speaker 1: tend to make different decisions even when they've had the 1562 01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:09,880 Speaker 1: same academic training as their male counterparts. That's considered to 1563 01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:13,439 Speaker 1: be not evidence of women maybe or just in the 1564 01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:18,760 Speaker 1: aggregate different than men. That's evidence of bias and oppression 1565 01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:24,639 Speaker 1: and patriarchy. So which none of that is true as 1566 01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:27,519 Speaker 1: because I actually read social science for Fall on the 1567 01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:29,920 Speaker 1: Weekends one of the things I like to try to 1568 01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:33,880 Speaker 1: bring to bring into the mix here on the show. Women, 1569 01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:41,080 Speaker 1: for example, dominate in the veterinarian veterinary profession. There are 1570 01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:43,759 Speaker 1: more veterinarians or women than men by a large margin, 1571 01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:49,439 Speaker 1: and they are well paid and they are obviously highly educated, 1572 01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:52,200 Speaker 1: go to med school, but there are far fewer women 1573 01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:56,479 Speaker 1: who are mechanical engineers. And they'll tell you as part 1574 01:32:56,479 --> 01:32:59,519 Speaker 1: of gender pandering. And this is a leftist thing, right, 1575 01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:02,200 Speaker 1: because the thinks of people in in group identity. But 1576 01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:04,840 Speaker 1: then also the moment you actually look at the numbers 1577 01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:09,880 Speaker 1: about different groups, they scream it that's just that's making 1578 01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:15,680 Speaker 1: things even worse, right, that's intersectionality. Run them up. Um. 1579 01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:17,599 Speaker 1: But yeah, I just think that this was an instance 1580 01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,240 Speaker 1: of Michelle Obama doing some gender pandering, because right now 1581 01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,680 Speaker 1: there's a real anti male feeling out there, and I 1582 01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:25,640 Speaker 1: want to talk more about that because it's also going 1583 01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:29,160 Speaker 1: to influence the way men and women interact. I think, 1584 01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:33,479 Speaker 1: in profound ways and very negative ways. The sexual counter 1585 01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:38,960 Speaker 1: revolution is upon us, my friends. I have been warning 1586 01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,080 Speaker 1: about this on the show for some time, and I 1587 01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:47,720 Speaker 1: see that others out there in the world of commentary 1588 01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:53,640 Speaker 1: they are also recognizing the dangers of this current frenzied 1589 01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:59,760 Speaker 1: moment in the witch hunt for any form of never 1590 01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:05,480 Speaker 1: mind find unwanted sexual contact, but any form of unwanted 1591 01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:12,440 Speaker 1: sexual commentary, or even what would be understood in a kinder, gentler, 1592 01:34:12,640 --> 01:34:17,280 Speaker 1: easier period in our history as a guy making the 1593 01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:21,400 Speaker 1: first move. No one talks about it in those terms, 1594 01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:25,080 Speaker 1: but when you look at some of the recent allegations, 1595 01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:31,720 Speaker 1: it is quite clear that there is a hysteria that 1596 01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:36,640 Speaker 1: is not just happening, but that is also being harnessed 1597 01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:42,000 Speaker 1: by the left. They view this as a very useful 1598 01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:47,320 Speaker 1: political weapon. Now, just as when there are other subjects 1599 01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:49,840 Speaker 1: that we tackle here in the Freedom Hot Eye, feel 1600 01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:52,559 Speaker 1: the obligation to preface what we are and what we 1601 01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:57,120 Speaker 1: are not talking about. I'm not talking about Harvey Weinstein here, 1602 01:34:57,479 --> 01:35:00,880 Speaker 1: he's a monster. I'm not talking about some of the 1603 01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:06,560 Speaker 1: other cases out there of individuals who never mind professional 1604 01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:11,840 Speaker 1: sanctions for their behavior. UH, seemed to based on the reports, 1605 01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:19,639 Speaker 1: have violated incredibly serious criminal laws. They are criminals, and 1606 01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:25,280 Speaker 1: statute of limitations or not, they should be reviled for 1607 01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:29,240 Speaker 1: their actions if they are in fact guilty of them. 1608 01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:31,559 Speaker 1: Sometimes they admit to it. In the case of Weinstein, 1609 01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:34,680 Speaker 1: he's admitted a lot of this conduct. UH, and some 1610 01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:38,800 Speaker 1: of the others, it seems abundantly clear we're way out 1611 01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:42,120 Speaker 1: of line with what they were doing. Halpern and some 1612 01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:45,240 Speaker 1: of these other individuals who have lost jobs and been 1613 01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:50,479 Speaker 1: in the midst of this malay over sexual harassment. But 1614 01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:52,840 Speaker 1: if you look at some of what else is coming 1615 01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:59,360 Speaker 1: out now, we have a state of play here whereby 1616 01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:03,599 Speaker 1: if you are even accused of any form of not 1617 01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:09,519 Speaker 1: like I said, not criminal misconduct, but just somewhat unseemly 1618 01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:13,519 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit over aggressive sexual conduct of any kind. 1619 01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:17,280 Speaker 1: Comments we're talking about here, you know, touching someone on 1620 01:36:17,320 --> 01:36:21,080 Speaker 1: the waist or maybe the or the knee. You know, 1621 01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:25,120 Speaker 1: you had this actress from the show The Crown on Netflix, 1622 01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:28,320 Speaker 1: and there's a photo of Adam Sandler and he's in 1623 01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:30,840 Speaker 1: a very crowded place and knows he's on camera, and 1624 01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:33,719 Speaker 1: he has his hand on her knee in a gesture 1625 01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:36,960 Speaker 1: that I'm sure he thought was the equivalent of someone 1626 01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:41,080 Speaker 1: putting their arm around somebody for a photo. At some 1627 01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:45,639 Speaker 1: point we reached the outer limits of what any rational 1628 01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:49,640 Speaker 1: person could could accept as a prohibition on behavior, and 1629 01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:54,320 Speaker 1: I think we are pretty much they're already with some 1630 01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:56,759 Speaker 1: of this stuff that's happening, and some of the outrage 1631 01:36:56,800 --> 01:37:00,600 Speaker 1: I mentioned George H. W. Bush, now Adam Sandler, and 1632 01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:06,760 Speaker 1: even more than just the hyper sensitivity about any sexual 1633 01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:11,400 Speaker 1: discussions or you know, there is an obvious moment in 1634 01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:16,120 Speaker 1: time here where if you're just accused of even a 1635 01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:21,000 Speaker 1: relatively minor transgression that could fall under the incredibly broad 1636 01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:25,719 Speaker 1: category of sexual harassment, you're done. They want to push 1637 01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:28,720 Speaker 1: you out of the public square. And there is there 1638 01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:31,679 Speaker 1: is a feeling out there that I know other share, 1639 01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:33,479 Speaker 1: and I'll talk to you about an article that I 1640 01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:36,240 Speaker 1: really thought was excellent on this subject in a second. 1641 01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:41,280 Speaker 1: There's a feeling out there that this anti sexual harassment 1642 01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:45,840 Speaker 1: movement is also infiltrated with a whole bunch of little 1643 01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:53,880 Speaker 1: sexual harassment Robespierre's uh, little revolutionaries or counter revolutionaries who 1644 01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:56,920 Speaker 1: have a tyrannical streak and are looking to do a 1645 01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:00,439 Speaker 1: whole lot more than just get the basics of the 1646 01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:05,960 Speaker 1: peasantry and take the royals down a peg or two. Right, 1647 01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:08,120 Speaker 1: we all know what happened with the French Revolution. Things 1648 01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:13,960 Speaker 1: got really bad. They are hunting for examples to make 1649 01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:19,880 Speaker 1: of people right now, including those individuals who are guilty of, 1650 01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:25,439 Speaker 1: if anything, conduct that is perhaps a little bit rude. 1651 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,760 Speaker 1: But we're talking about the realm of manners here. We're 1652 01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:34,080 Speaker 1: not talking about someone who should be uh completely ostracized 1653 01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:38,120 Speaker 1: from public life, lose their livelihood, lose their reputation. This 1654 01:38:38,240 --> 01:38:41,080 Speaker 1: is insane, and as I have been warning you, it 1655 01:38:41,200 --> 01:38:45,120 Speaker 1: is already being politicized. The targets that they are picking 1656 01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:49,160 Speaker 1: will increasingly be determined now that they have the outrage 1657 01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:52,639 Speaker 1: meter at the absolute height. The targets that they pick 1658 01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:57,439 Speaker 1: for the much lesser sexual harassments that I'm talking about now, uh, 1659 01:38:57,520 --> 01:39:01,760 Speaker 1: they'll be somehow out of favor with Hollywood. Um, but 1660 01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:04,920 Speaker 1: there's this piece in the Spectator, or out of favor 1661 01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:08,040 Speaker 1: with the left, I should say, there's this piece in 1662 01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:13,200 Speaker 1: the spectator. The consequence of this new sexual counter revolution 1663 01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:16,840 Speaker 1: no sex at all by Douglas Murray, his subhending. His 1664 01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:20,360 Speaker 1: feminism isn't producing guides for helping men, It is producing 1665 01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:26,200 Speaker 1: manifestos for torturing them. It's absolutely true. And here is 1666 01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:27,920 Speaker 1: just some of this piece, which I have to tell 1667 01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:31,120 Speaker 1: you I think is excellent quote. We are in the 1668 01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:34,599 Speaker 1: middle of a profound shift in our attitude towards sex, 1669 01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:38,760 Speaker 1: a sexual counter revolution, if you will. And whereas the 1670 01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:42,360 Speaker 1: nineteen sixties saw a freeing up of attitude towards sex, 1671 01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:46,719 Speaker 1: pushing at boundaries, this counter swing is turning sexual freedom 1672 01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:51,280 Speaker 1: into sexual fear, and nearly all sexual opportunities into a 1673 01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:55,960 Speaker 1: legalistic mind field. The ruler the rules are being redrawn, 1674 01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:59,240 Speaker 1: with little idea of where the boundaries of this new 1675 01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:04,080 Speaker 1: sexual utopia will lie, unless idea still of whether any 1676 01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:07,320 Speaker 1: sex will be allowed. In the end. It is partly 1677 01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:09,720 Speaker 1: whipped along by the fact that each episode and the 1678 01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:13,479 Speaker 1: revolution is so grimly fascinating, and each has its own 1679 01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:18,200 Speaker 1: internal propulsions. For instance, nobody outside Hollywood could regret the 1680 01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:22,200 Speaker 1: disgrace of an disgrace of an overpraised toad who spent 1681 01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:26,559 Speaker 1: far too long surrounded by overly attractive people after Harvey 1682 01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:31,040 Speaker 1: Weinstein's downfall, who could not enjoy the sweeping, uh sweeping 1683 01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:35,600 Speaker 1: of tinsel Town for DNA evidence or mere hearsay exposing 1684 01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:41,040 Speaker 1: that whole rotten, preachy liberal facade um. This week, the 1685 01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:43,960 Speaker 1: urge to purge the purvs has turned on the house 1686 01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:46,040 Speaker 1: apart and end quote there. I mean he's he goes 1687 01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,000 Speaker 1: into more detail, and he gets some some British stuff 1688 01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:49,840 Speaker 1: that we won't be familiar with here on this show 1689 01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:53,519 Speaker 1: in terms of the specific stories, but the overall point 1690 01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:56,559 Speaker 1: in the UK is the same here in the US. 1691 01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:58,880 Speaker 1: And as he says, and this article has a picture 1692 01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:03,760 Speaker 1: of him Sandler with his hand on the knee of 1693 01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:10,519 Speaker 1: this actress who was what's her naclaire Foy And she 1694 01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:14,639 Speaker 1: said that she wasn't angry about this, but the liberal 1695 01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:19,880 Speaker 1: feminazi left wants to be outraged for her, so she's 1696 01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:21,920 Speaker 1: not even allowed to determine. I should know this is 1697 01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:25,280 Speaker 1: not entirely new, in the sense that if you follow 1698 01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:29,880 Speaker 1: the campus rape culture frenzy, you would know that there 1699 01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:32,400 Speaker 1: was a well known case, or at least it's been 1700 01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:35,000 Speaker 1: publicized in the last six months or so of a 1701 01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:38,040 Speaker 1: of a woman who a young woman, college woman, who 1702 01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:42,200 Speaker 1: was she said, horsing around with her boyfriend in public, 1703 01:41:42,640 --> 01:41:45,559 Speaker 1: and someone filed the complaint that he was abusing her. 1704 01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:48,960 Speaker 1: And she never said that there was anything wrong. He 1705 01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:51,479 Speaker 1: never thought there was anything wrong. Both of them said 1706 01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:54,439 Speaker 1: that everything is fine. They never changed their stories, and 1707 01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:57,760 Speaker 1: the school punished him anyway because the third party said 1708 01:41:57,760 --> 01:41:59,680 Speaker 1: it looked like he was being a little rough with her. 1709 01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:01,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, look if he had, if he 1710 01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:03,400 Speaker 1: had punched her in the face or something, we would 1711 01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:08,000 Speaker 1: all know, right. But apparently they were, you know, wrestling 1712 01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,160 Speaker 1: a little bit or something and rough housing, and and 1713 01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:13,160 Speaker 1: someone else saw it and brought in a complaint. But 1714 01:42:13,240 --> 01:42:16,559 Speaker 1: the point is that even if the woman says that 1715 01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:20,800 Speaker 1: it's okay, the movement may not say it's okay. The 1716 01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:25,960 Speaker 1: counter revolution, the sexual counter revolution, may decide for her. 1717 01:42:26,840 --> 01:42:30,000 Speaker 1: And that's what this piece really goes into. And this 1718 01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:32,800 Speaker 1: is what I've been saying. Now, I could see this 1719 01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:36,720 Speaker 1: coming and it is already happening. Let me give you 1720 01:42:36,760 --> 01:42:40,280 Speaker 1: a little more of what this author, Douglas Murray writes 1721 01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:42,400 Speaker 1: in the Spectator quote, if we are to enter this 1722 01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:46,280 Speaker 1: strange new puritanical era, then at least let us not 1723 01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:50,040 Speaker 1: enter it silently, allow it to be admitted that many 1724 01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:52,479 Speaker 1: women as well as men are happy to use their 1725 01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:55,640 Speaker 1: looks and whiles when these work to their advantage. It 1726 01:42:55,760 --> 01:42:58,880 Speaker 1: is not always victim blaming, but a mere statement of 1727 01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:02,760 Speaker 1: fact that a try active people attract unusual amounts of attention, 1728 01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:06,680 Speaker 1: and that not all find this a disadvantage. Actors and 1729 01:43:06,760 --> 01:43:10,880 Speaker 1: models of both sexes as much as parliamentary assistants know this, 1730 01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:13,800 Speaker 1: and so does everybody else. And unless we decide that 1731 01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:16,920 Speaker 1: only a super class of beautiful people are allowed to 1732 01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:20,599 Speaker 1: seek sex, we should accept that people in the lower 1733 01:43:20,640 --> 01:43:24,040 Speaker 1: to middling ranges of attractiveness should be allowed the odd 1734 01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:28,479 Speaker 1: punt too. And quote what he's saying is under this 1735 01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:34,559 Speaker 1: current anti sexual harassment regime that we are now in 1736 01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:39,960 Speaker 1: the midst of any man who tries to make a 1737 01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:43,400 Speaker 1: pass meeting, maybe tries to kiss, or tries to grab 1738 01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:47,879 Speaker 1: the you know, grab hold the hand of uh, it 1739 01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:50,160 Speaker 1: makes a move. This is what he's called making a move. 1740 01:43:51,439 --> 01:43:53,679 Speaker 1: If you do that and the woman is not interested, 1741 01:43:53,720 --> 01:43:57,160 Speaker 1: and you immediately say, well, you know, apologies, I must 1742 01:43:57,160 --> 01:44:00,679 Speaker 1: have misread the situation. You might lose your job now 1743 01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:04,519 Speaker 1: if you work in the same company, and now I 1744 01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:09,040 Speaker 1: understand there's the there's the boss employee subordinate in fear, 1745 01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:12,800 Speaker 1: or you know, the subordinate versus superior relationship. But I'm 1746 01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,840 Speaker 1: not talking about that just in general. You know, some 1747 01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:19,000 Speaker 1: of these allegations are about actors working with other actors, 1748 01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:22,920 Speaker 1: and yeah, there are grotesque allegations of what would have 1749 01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:27,320 Speaker 1: been or what was criminal misconduct. But some of the 1750 01:44:27,320 --> 01:44:30,200 Speaker 1: other ones are a hand on a knee. Well, if 1751 01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:32,080 Speaker 1: a hand on a knee can get you in trouble, 1752 01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:34,760 Speaker 1: what about you know, I thought you liked me, and 1753 01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:36,680 Speaker 1: so I wanted to give you a kiss good night. 1754 01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:40,759 Speaker 1: If the lady doesn't want to kiss, every guy listening 1755 01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:42,840 Speaker 1: already knows you go whoops, all right, you know you 1756 01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:47,600 Speaker 1: you you back off, and that's that. But are we otherwise? 1757 01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:50,320 Speaker 1: We're in a world where anyone who dates anyone in 1758 01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:53,880 Speaker 1: their industry or really, for that matter, any industry and 1759 01:44:54,040 --> 01:44:57,360 Speaker 1: tries to lean in for a kiss is a is 1760 01:44:57,400 --> 01:45:01,800 Speaker 1: a sexual deviant, a harasser, or a person who is 1761 01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:05,800 Speaker 1: part of the patriarchy and oppressing women. I mean, this 1762 01:45:05,880 --> 01:45:10,480 Speaker 1: is complete nonsense, and we are hurtling toward this reality 1763 01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:15,760 Speaker 1: right now. We're not already there. This is a complete 1764 01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:21,040 Speaker 1: hysteria right now when it comes to the lighter, the 1765 01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:24,280 Speaker 1: much lesser and lighter side of some of the conduct 1766 01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:26,840 Speaker 1: that we're talking about here, things like a comment that 1767 01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:30,040 Speaker 1: was made years ago that was sexist. You know, if 1768 01:45:30,040 --> 01:45:31,639 Speaker 1: a man says to a woman that he works with 1769 01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:34,120 Speaker 1: that is not his employee, you know, I find you 1770 01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:36,080 Speaker 1: really beautiful. I think we should go out on a date. 1771 01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:40,800 Speaker 1: He's a sexist. Now, that's harassment. And I'll say that 1772 01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:42,880 Speaker 1: when I was in government, they were pretty clear about this. 1773 01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:45,439 Speaker 1: They said, look, you're you're allowed, You're allowed to ask once, 1774 01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:49,160 Speaker 1: and then after that you got to back off. This 1775 01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:54,080 Speaker 1: is really a question of manners and respect and decency. 1776 01:45:54,280 --> 01:45:56,839 Speaker 1: People are going to make mistakes, but they'll make mistakes 1777 01:45:56,880 --> 01:45:59,120 Speaker 1: that are in good faith. The guy is going to 1778 01:45:59,240 --> 01:46:01,920 Speaker 1: lean in for a kiss sometimes and get denied. He's 1779 01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:04,559 Speaker 1: gonna ask the lady out for drinks and she's gonna 1780 01:46:04,600 --> 01:46:07,600 Speaker 1: say no. That doesn't make him a bad person, and 1781 01:46:07,640 --> 01:46:11,000 Speaker 1: it certainly doesn't make him a harasser or a pervert 1782 01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:15,639 Speaker 1: or a criminal. Nor is it a circumstance that should 1783 01:46:15,640 --> 01:46:18,800 Speaker 1: result in lawsuits and loss of job. But if we 1784 01:46:18,880 --> 01:46:22,320 Speaker 1: don't start to draw these lines now, or rather if 1785 01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:27,599 Speaker 1: we don't refuse to allow the progressive feminist left two, 1786 01:46:27,880 --> 01:46:32,840 Speaker 1: in fascistic terms, create these new guidelines, these new rules, 1787 01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:35,559 Speaker 1: I should say, for us, then we are going to 1788 01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:39,479 Speaker 1: be living in a society very quickly where any male 1789 01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:43,560 Speaker 1: female conduct interaction of any of any kind could be suspect. 1790 01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:47,000 Speaker 1: And I will just leave you with this. The definition 1791 01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:52,080 Speaker 1: of a true tyranny is not the strict and rigid, 1792 01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:56,880 Speaker 1: across the board enforcement of rules. A real tyranny is 1793 01:46:56,960 --> 01:47:05,200 Speaker 1: the capricious and favoritism based application of rules, as in 1794 01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:09,200 Speaker 1: the rules apply to some and not to others. That's 1795 01:47:09,240 --> 01:47:12,599 Speaker 1: a true, true tyranny. And that's what we will have 1796 01:47:12,800 --> 01:47:15,679 Speaker 1: in relations between the sexes unless we all just agree 1797 01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:18,679 Speaker 1: to be adults, have some manners, and show some respect. 1798 01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:22,920 Speaker 1: All right. To close out the Freedom Hut today, I 1799 01:47:22,960 --> 01:47:28,360 Speaker 1: feel like, why not get into the latest with team 1800 01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:32,599 Speaker 1: Buck Speaks, which is always a fun segment of the show, 1801 01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:36,599 Speaker 1: at least for me. Uh So, here we go we 1802 01:47:36,720 --> 01:47:40,120 Speaker 1: have Sterling writing with the following Buck, I've been with 1803 01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:41,360 Speaker 1: you a long time and I love the show, and 1804 01:47:41,360 --> 01:47:44,479 Speaker 1: I'm grateful for the thoughtful perspective. You're among the best. 1805 01:47:45,400 --> 01:47:48,040 Speaker 1: One thing you regularly say, what analyzing new data is 1806 01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:50,920 Speaker 1: What does that mean? That phrase has changed the way 1807 01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:53,719 Speaker 1: I look at the world. You've made it so clear 1808 01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:56,800 Speaker 1: how important the language we and others truly use in 1809 01:47:56,920 --> 01:48:00,960 Speaker 1: controlling the narrative. Uh. That said, I work for an 1810 01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:04,720 Speaker 1: unnamed airline and disagree with your proclamation that airline employees 1811 01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:07,519 Speaker 1: just don't care. I know this is an old topic, 1812 01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:11,200 Speaker 1: but I can't shake off the topic. We airline employees 1813 01:48:11,280 --> 01:48:14,519 Speaker 1: have the sometimes difficult task of enforcing company policy as 1814 01:48:14,560 --> 01:48:18,040 Speaker 1: well as federal regulations, some relevant and important, others not 1815 01:48:18,200 --> 01:48:22,360 Speaker 1: so much. A libertarian and industry so heavily regulated makes 1816 01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:27,040 Speaker 1: my head hurt. Uh. In regards to okay, he goes 1817 01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:29,040 Speaker 1: on to some like In regards to comfort, I blame 1818 01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:32,800 Speaker 1: and credits Southwest Airlines. Their goal was and continues to 1819 01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:36,200 Speaker 1: be making flying affordable the more people. Uh. The comfort 1820 01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:38,040 Speaker 1: you want is available in first class, but I'm not 1821 01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:40,760 Speaker 1: willing or able to pay for that comfort, all right? 1822 01:48:40,840 --> 01:48:43,840 Speaker 1: So okay? Uh, and he's rights. Keep up the good 1823 01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:46,240 Speaker 1: work in shields high Sterling. Thank you. I'm sorry that 1824 01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:48,240 Speaker 1: I had to. I didn't realize how long the uh 1825 01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:50,240 Speaker 1: the note was until I started to get into it 1826 01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:53,559 Speaker 1: a bit. I don't remember saying that airline employees don't 1827 01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:56,920 Speaker 1: care as a blanket statement. I may have, but I 1828 01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:59,760 Speaker 1: don't remember saying that. I can tell you that I've 1829 01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:02,719 Speaker 1: come across plenty of airline employees who do not seem 1830 01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:05,640 Speaker 1: to care. More than that, it just feels like airlines 1831 01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:09,320 Speaker 1: are the only industry that never really seemed It never 1832 01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:14,480 Speaker 1: really seems to get any better, doesn't seem like things improve. 1833 01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:19,840 Speaker 1: It just feels like things get uh more annoying over time. 1834 01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:25,080 Speaker 1: But that's I'm sure just perception. Um. So there you 1835 01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:28,280 Speaker 1: have it. Uh, we have Caroline right again with and 1836 01:49:28,320 --> 01:49:30,080 Speaker 1: By the way, anytime you think I'm wrong, I like 1837 01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:33,120 Speaker 1: to get called out by the team. I'm not expecting 1838 01:49:33,120 --> 01:49:35,759 Speaker 1: everyone agree with stuff all the time. I just can't 1839 01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:38,040 Speaker 1: remember the specifics of whether I ever said anything about 1840 01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:42,600 Speaker 1: airline employees. I pick on different industries, but and and 1841 01:49:42,680 --> 01:49:44,920 Speaker 1: airline employees we would be pretty high on the list. 1842 01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:48,519 Speaker 1: I will say that I've probably gotten of as a 1843 01:49:48,600 --> 01:49:52,920 Speaker 1: percentage of industries, more nice commentary from T s A 1844 01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:56,240 Speaker 1: Agents on my radio show and TV work than almost 1845 01:49:56,240 --> 01:49:59,840 Speaker 1: any other industry. So for whatever reason, I'm always like 1846 01:50:00,240 --> 01:50:04,200 Speaker 1: T s A guy or gal, Maybe you haven't heard 1847 01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:05,880 Speaker 1: what I say about the T. S A. But that's cool. 1848 01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:07,679 Speaker 1: I know T. S A is doing an important job 1849 01:50:07,800 --> 01:50:10,840 Speaker 1: keeping the planes safe in the sky. So there's that, 1850 01:50:11,040 --> 01:50:13,760 Speaker 1: all right. Carolin writes in Hey Buck, love the peace 1851 01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:16,160 Speaker 1: on Martin Luther, and yes he was a really funny guy. 1852 01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:18,920 Speaker 1: My favorite quote of his when he was speaking of 1853 01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:21,679 Speaker 1: the seemingly miraculous ability of the Church to drain money 1854 01:50:21,680 --> 01:50:24,920 Speaker 1: from the rest of Europe, he said, German money, in 1855 01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:29,800 Speaker 1: complete violation of nature, flies over the Alps. Well, I 1856 01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:33,479 Speaker 1: must tell you that I am unfamiliar with that quote, 1857 01:50:33,600 --> 01:50:36,479 Speaker 1: but thank you for bringing it to my attention. A 1858 01:50:36,520 --> 01:50:40,240 Speaker 1: different perspective here from Barbara on Martin Luther. Buck, My 1859 01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:42,880 Speaker 1: head exploded when I heard the discussion of Martin Luther. 1860 01:50:43,360 --> 01:50:46,479 Speaker 1: Are we talking about the same Martin Luther? A simple monk? 1861 01:50:46,840 --> 01:50:50,200 Speaker 1: What he has been described as, quote a man of 1862 01:50:50,280 --> 01:50:54,160 Speaker 1: will ruled by his affections and appetites. This is not 1863 01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:56,920 Speaker 1: a simple, humble monk. He was one of the men 1864 01:50:56,960 --> 01:50:59,400 Speaker 1: who fractured the body of Christ, which was the worst 1865 01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:05,040 Speaker 1: disaster of the last two thousand years. Wow. A matter 1866 01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:07,559 Speaker 1: of fact, me Taxes has drunk the kool aid and 1867 01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:14,360 Speaker 1: does not see the dark side of man's obsession with himself, humanism, relativism, 1868 01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:20,240 Speaker 1: which Maritane, who's someone who I'm on? Wait where she 1869 01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:24,160 Speaker 1: writes a Meritane above here? Jack Merritane explains so well, 1870 01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:28,599 Speaker 1: uh yeah, oh she She also writes some other stuff 1871 01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:30,320 Speaker 1: about my taxes here, but I'm not going to get 1872 01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:34,080 Speaker 1: into that. Um well, we had the author on and 1873 01:51:34,120 --> 01:51:37,920 Speaker 1: he shared his I can't pretend to be a an 1874 01:51:37,920 --> 01:51:40,640 Speaker 1: expert at all. And Martin Luther, so you know, let 1875 01:51:40,840 --> 01:51:42,960 Speaker 1: let eric is the best selling author. He's written a 1876 01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:46,080 Speaker 1: book on Martin Luther. And I would advise you, Barbara, 1877 01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:48,519 Speaker 1: if you or I'd rather, I would recommend that you 1878 01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:51,880 Speaker 1: take up this dispute directly with him, because I don't 1879 01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:54,760 Speaker 1: really have a dog in the fight. But nonetheless, I 1880 01:51:54,800 --> 01:51:59,000 Speaker 1: appreciate your message and your your thoughtful and spirited commentary 1881 01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:02,479 Speaker 1: on on our guests appearance for American taxes.
