1 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Secretary of DHS is out, 2 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: the head of the Secret Service is out. There could 3 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: be some other senior national security folks who are shown 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: the door. In the hours and days ahead, we'll talk 5 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: about what this house cleaning by President Trump is really 6 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: all about. Here's a hint. The border crisis, at least 7 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: in part. We'll get into that, and also the latest 8 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: on the looning left and the Russia collusion delusion coming 9 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,959 Speaker 1: up on the Buck Sexton Show. Bucks Sexton Remission, decoding 10 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence magnor mistake American, 11 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: You're a great American again. This is the Bucks Sexton Show. 12 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: The CIA analysts think I can speak for three hours 13 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: without a phone call. Try doing that sometimes. And the 14 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: asylum program is a scam. Some of the roughest people 15 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: you've ever seen, people that look like they should be 16 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: fighting for the UFC. They read a little page given 17 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: by lawyers that are all over the bygo lawyers. They 18 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: tell him what to say. You look at this guy. 19 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: He say, Wow, that's a tough cookie. I am very 20 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: fearful for my life. I am very worried that I 21 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,559 Speaker 1: will be accusted. Hoop I have said back home, no, no, 22 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: He'll do the acoustic. To confront this border crisis, I 23 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: declared a national emergency. Welcome to the Bucks actions for 24 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 1: everybody the President understands. It's scam being scammed to the border. 25 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: People are showing up, they're being told what to say 26 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: before they arrive. They're exploiting the generosity of the American spirit, 27 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: the kindness of the American people. They're skipping the immigration line. 28 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: They're making chumps of everybody that are trying to go 29 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: through the immigration system properly. They're gonna be over one 30 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: hundred thousand for this month, on track for a million 31 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: a year America this year will likely if this continues, 32 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: have more people enter the country illegally, then we allow 33 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: legal green card residents and citizens to join the American family. 34 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: And what are the Democrats want to do about it? 35 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: Just trash Trump. Nothing constructive, nothing worthwhile from them. They 36 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: just want to call the President of the the United States racist. 37 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: Now that it's finally beyond any reasonable doubt that there 38 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: is a crisis, they just want to call President Trump 39 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: a racist. They want to say that he's opposed to immigrants, 40 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: that he's a bad guy. He's a bad person. Meanwhile, 41 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: there's not any seriousness whatsoever from Democrats about how to 42 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: deal with this because what they want is, as you know, amnesty. 43 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: And so Trump is now at a point where he's 44 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: got to shake things up. He says, I need to 45 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: find a new DHS secretary. I need to find a 46 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: new head of the Secret Service. You've got a few 47 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: other people that are possibly leaving. According to Waltsh Journal today, 48 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: the head of US Citizenship and Immigration Services, Francis Sisna, 49 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: reportedly Randolph Alice, the Secret Service director, and John Mitnick, 50 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: the agency's general counsel. Ron Vitiello, who's the acting director 51 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: of Immigration and custom Services, was told on Friday that 52 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: he needed his step aside. President Trump has announced that 53 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin mcleanan would be appointed 54 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: as acting DHS secretary. Al though I believe there's some 55 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: question as to whether that is in fact that the 56 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: chain of succession for DHS, but that will be dealt with. 57 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure that will be No. Here's what Tom Holman 58 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: had to say about Kevin mclenan and Nielsen play fourteen. 59 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: I canna tell you he's a really smart guy. He 60 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: has great relationships with the governor of Mexico. He has 61 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: been working steadily, you know, on getting them to cooperate more. 62 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: Kevin's been the tip of the spear on the wall construction. 63 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: I've worked with Kevin for the past decade, and we 64 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: worked together during the twenty fourteen crisis, in the twenty 65 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: fifteen crisis under j Johnson, almost daily meetings. He's a 66 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: smart guy. He knows this issue. He has great relationships 67 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: with the governor of Mexico. And I think, you know, 68 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: if Terry Nielson leaves, which I want to say one thing, 69 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: I respect Secretary Nielson. Anybody that steps up that most 70 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: difficult job when Congress doesn't helping, the courts are styming you. 71 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: It's a difficult job. So I certainly respect her service 72 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: to the nation. Respect her service to the nation. I 73 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: don't think that she was ever really on board with 74 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: what Trump wanted to accomplish. I think that she was 75 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: too establishment. This is now Kirsten Nielsen. I think she 76 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: was a little bit too establishment. I think that she 77 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: implemented the separation policy, which we'll talk more about that 78 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: later on the show, as a way of showing Trump 79 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: that she was going to take his policy directive seriously. 80 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: But keep in mind that the separation policy that had 81 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: this outcome that the media, the media, that's the one 82 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: place where they were able to get Trump to back 83 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: off a policy issue quickly, and it was because of 84 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: how they told that story. The story was that it's 85 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: terrible and cruel. It's almost cruel and usual punishment to 86 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: separate these kids from their parents. But the real issue, 87 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: the initial issue is should it be treated as a 88 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: crime to enter the United States illegally? If it is 89 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: to be treated as a crime, and therefore it is 90 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: a criminal act, when someone is arrested for committing a 91 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: crime in this country, it happens every day, many many times, 92 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: all across the country. When someone is arrested, they are 93 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: separated from their children. Now that DHS was unable to 94 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: track immediately where these children have gone, and they're saying 95 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: that it might take a long time to put them 96 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: back together, Yes, that's bureaucratic incompetence, in an aptitude, But 97 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: they're also not set up to handle that problem because 98 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,679 Speaker 1: they're not supposed to have the problem. It exists because 99 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: of those who are actively and intentionally exploiting our immigration 100 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: laws exploiting the situation at the border. But so Kirsten 101 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: Nielsen stepping out, I think up some territory here. I 102 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: was seeing that Rick Perry's being talked about. Maybe that 103 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: was withdrawn earlier. I think that was withdrawn, Mike. Was 104 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: that withdrawn today? I think they said that probably wasn't 105 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: going to happen, right. That would not be my pick 106 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: at all. I don't understand the hesitation here. I think 107 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: it's quite clear who should be in this role. I 108 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: think you want to put Chris Kobak as DHS secretary, 109 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: put him in charge. Somebody who is very much in 110 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: line with the President's thinking on creating a stable and 111 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: secure border with no more of these loopholes and all 112 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: this easy to get through, easy access nonsense. Somebody who 113 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: is a political fighter and understands the stakes here and 114 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: is smart enough to maneuver in an environment where they're 115 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: they're trying to just destroy people. I mean, I'll get 116 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: into this more later on this hour. But the Democrats 117 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: aren't just happy that that Curson Wilson's out. They want 118 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: Nielsen to suffer long into the future. They want her 119 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: to be an ignominious exemplar of what happens when you 120 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: cross the left on what is now a major issue 121 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: for them, which is open borders. The left has decided 122 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: that there is no longer there is no longer any 123 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: real reason to deport illegal aliens. And that's where this 124 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: whole issue just starts to fall apart. The moment that 125 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: deportation is no longer on the table for people who 126 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: are in the country illegally, we do not have immigration 127 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: laws worthy of the name of law. The moment that 128 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: we are told that it is too mean, it is 129 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: unchristian or unfeeling unthinking to tell somebody who has violated 130 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: the law to be in America that they're going to remember. 131 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: No one's saying that you get sent to prison for 132 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: twenty years or anything horrible, but that the punish been 133 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: here very much fits the crime. If you're in America 134 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: illegally and you are returned to your legal country of 135 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: residence and origin, that's not some heinous, terrible thing to do. 136 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry for people that are from Honduras and 137 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: Guatemala and El Salvador and any number of other countries. 138 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: I saw people from Pakistan and Bangladesh, and I'm sorry 139 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: that their countries aren't full of more opportunity, That there's 140 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: so much corruption than the case of the Central American states, 141 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,239 Speaker 1: that there's so much crime and violence. But our immigration 142 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: system is supposed to benefit the people here. You know, 143 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: if you're going to make this a purely moral case, 144 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: that the role of government is purely moral and not 145 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: any specific obligation to the citizens and the people that 146 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: are in this country. With that respect the laws of 147 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: this country. Why should we stop? Why Why shouldn't we 148 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: provide welfare benefits to anyone, to people all over the world. 149 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: Why aren't we just sending checks to people who really 150 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: need help. Why doesn't the federal government just decide to 151 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: become a global charity. Well, you'd say, buck, at some 152 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: point and run out of money. Okay, well maybe maybe 153 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: we only set aside, you know, one hundred billion for that. 154 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: We could afford that, right, put that on the tab. 155 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: We'll just send money to people around the world try 156 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,719 Speaker 1: to help. Well, you say, buck, we already do that 157 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: in the form of foreign eight No, no no, I mean 158 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: direct payment. We do that for some of our own people. 159 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: The government just gives them money to help them out. 160 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: Why don't we Oh, because there's there's a difference between 161 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: a US citizen and a foreigner, and that our nation 162 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: state has to recognize that if it's still going to 163 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: call upon our obedience to the law and our allegiance 164 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: to the state itself, there have to be distinctions here. 165 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: If there's no difference between somebody that arrived, if the 166 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: federal government thinks there's no difference between somebody that arrived 167 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: illegally yesterday from Honduras and all of you listening to 168 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: the show who are US Citizens? That has tremendous ramifications 169 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: for the way that this country will interact with all 170 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: of its citizens going forward. It also means that our 171 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: projections about the sustainability of our entitlement programs and the 172 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: future of our economy and our political system and all 173 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: of that will be in flux. And you could argue, 174 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: I think will be threatened in many ways. A million 175 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: illegals a year every year. And when do we think 176 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: that Congresses will step in and stop this. They're not 177 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: going to. They're simply not going to. But the unwillingness 178 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: to deport people who are non violent, or rather unless 179 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: they are a violent criminal, that's where this whole thing 180 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: falls apart. If you can't deport people anymore. You don't 181 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: have you don't have immigration laws anymore. And we're pretty close. 182 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: I know we're deporting some people here the show with 183 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: some number, but a lot of them are you know, 184 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: people that have just arrived. They were caught very happily. 185 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: No one who falls into this category of family unit 186 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: that arrives at the border claiming asylument. None of those 187 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: people are going to be deported, None of them. And 188 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: maybe tell me some maybe scratch that, less than five 189 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: percent of them will be deported. I think that's a 190 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: fair number, less than five percent, but it's effectively for 191 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: all intensive purposes, none of them. And they're all going 192 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: to get to stay. And there's more and more that 193 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna come. So Trump is shaking it up at 194 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: DHS because if he doesn't have people that are willing 195 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: to go really hard on this issue and take the heat. 196 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 1: You know, because the left, they smell blood in the 197 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: water on this one. They have a real sense that 198 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: if they can just continue to make it socially stigmatizing 199 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: to work with Trump on immigration, you're going to stop 200 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: certain people from taking a leadership role and cracking down 201 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: on what is happening at the border, and if need 202 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: be fighting it out in court, you know, have the 203 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: federal government fight it out with these either different judicial 204 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: decisions or statutes that are in place right now that 205 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: are mandating that we have a near open border, which 206 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: is a complete and utter outrage, and it is happening 207 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: under this president. And I wish I could say that 208 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: I had any belief that this was going to improve 209 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: anytime soon. But it's going to take a lot more 210 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: than just a change up at the DHS. But this 211 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: is Chris Kobak, I think is the best choice. I 212 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: think Chris Kobak would do a really solid job in 213 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: this role, and that's where that's where I think the 214 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: presidents head should be. So I know Rick Perry's name 215 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: would fled around. There are some others as well. You know, 216 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: Stephen Miller is still one of the longest lasting senior 217 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: advisors to the President in this White House, and he's 218 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: really credited with being the architect of a lot of 219 00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: the immigration policy that the administration has been pursuing. But 220 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: if we don't get this right, and we don't get 221 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: a handle on this, the Republican Party's days are numbered. 222 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: I can't tell you what the number is but they're numbered, 223 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: and that's what Democrat. Democrats know that they haven't been 224 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: able to do well as a national party now for 225 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: quite some time. You know, they lost a lot of 226 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: seats onder Obama. Yes, they want some back now in 227 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen congressional races, but they've been losing ground 228 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: at the at the state level, and they've certainly been 229 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: losing ground by having Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton for 230 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: what they thought would be an eight year Clinton presidency. 231 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: But now is when we start to see who are 232 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: going to be the fighters on this issue. Who's going 233 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: to stand up and say now is the time to 234 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: expend some real political capital and to take the heat 235 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: because the border is effectively open and this is not 236 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: going to get any better unless they take dramatic action 237 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: about this. So I'm going to continue to focus on this. 238 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: I really hope that Trump has some ideas and that 239 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: his team come up with some ideas, because once this 240 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: gets further along, the political incentive to take action becomes 241 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: less and less because a lot of Senators, a lot 242 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: of congressmen, especially your congressmen, down around the border area 243 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: or in places where a lot of these migrants that 244 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: are claiming asylum, that they end up settling themselves in 245 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: this country, Which sanctuary cities the number one place they 246 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: like to go. If that's the case, you know, we 247 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: need to finally change the political calculation before it's too late, 248 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: before it's maybe I don't know, I wish it might 249 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: be too late. Right now, we might be passed the 250 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: point of no return. I'm not yet willing to throw 251 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: in the towel on it. But if Trump can't do it, 252 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: who can? And when is it going to happen? When 253 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: will we have a secure border? And these are all 254 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: questions we have to ask ourselves. Team, I've got a 255 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: lot more show coming your way. Stay with me. I've 256 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: got an eleven year old daughter. I get to have 257 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: her on weekends. I can't even let her go outside. 258 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: I can't come outside without carrying some kind of weapon 259 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: because of my safety. People along the border, it seems, 260 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: are concerned. That was Jeff Allen, who's a border property owner, 261 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: saying he's worried about his eleven year old daughter going 262 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: outside without a weapon because of safety concerns. We know 263 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: the cartels are superactive along the border right now. They're 264 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: making a ton of money off of all the human smuggling, 265 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: a lot of money off of all this human misery 266 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: that's occurring. And yet we're supposed to believe that there's 267 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: no tie in between opioid debts in this country and 268 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: our poorous border, that the drain on resources, that all 269 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: these families showing up, these family units showing up crossing 270 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: illegally and then surrendering that that doesn't do anything, that 271 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: doesn't make our streets left safe. I mean, it all 272 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: ties intogether. There is a flood of drugs and criminal 273 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: activity that comes in across the border. That's just a fact. 274 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: And all the different ways that law enforcing gets pulled 275 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: away from their primary mission and is forced to play 276 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, border red cross and sort of you know 277 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: soup kitchen and health station and processing center. For people 278 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: who know what they're doing, they know that this is 279 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: not the way it's supposed to go. They know that 280 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: there shouldn't be that they shouldn't be doing this, that 281 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: it's illegal, but they're told this is a great scam, 282 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: it's a great way to skip the whole immigration line, 283 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: to skip through the process and to take advantage of 284 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: the American people. I mean, we think about what's really 285 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: happening here. We have laws in place so that people 286 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: who are truly fleeing oppression and violence directed at them 287 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: specifically for their beliefs, for their ideology, not because they're 288 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: from a violent country that happens to have a high 289 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: street crime. That's not asylum. People that are will be 290 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: targeted towards killed for their beliefs, whether religious or political. 291 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: We want to have some open doors for those people 292 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: who fit that criteria, you know. So this is a 293 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: charitable impulse that the American people have. What's happening is 294 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: people see that and they say, well, they're they're taking 295 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: a charity collection of sorts here. I want some of that. 296 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: Let me get some of that charity money. In this case, 297 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: it's let me get some of that charity asylum by 298 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: lying about what's going on, abusing the system and doing 299 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: it in a systematic scale, that's completely undermining our immigration process. 300 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: I mean, i'd say a Democrats should be ashamed what 301 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: we know. They're incapable of shame on this issue of immigration. 302 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: Remember when the left called the Green New Deal bold, 303 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: or how about their bold defensive anti semitism in the House. 304 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: I think they're mistaking bold for something else, because the 305 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: way I define bold is the taste of freedom I 306 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: get every morning with my Black Rifle Coffee.

What's 327 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: in the report that he sugarcoated it, that he made 328 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: it look more favorable for the president than it was. 329 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: He is someone who is an agent of the administration, 330 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: is an appointee, a political appointee of the president whose 331 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: interests he may very well be protecting. Here there was 332 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: in plain sight, open collusion with the Russians. Wait, I'm sorry, 333 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: I thought there was no collusion. How is Jerry Nadler 334 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: saying there is collusion? How is Adam Shift still sticking 335 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: sticking to his story on this too? These people are 336 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: evidence free. You know, this is why when the media 337 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: always does this thing with Trump where they say he 338 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: claims without evidence, which is a very obvious way to 339 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: try to undermine the President's credibility and his claims. You know, 340 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: without evidence. He says this without evidence, He says that 341 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: where is the evidence of the collusion we're told about? 342 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: You know, Jerry Nadler isn't just saying the president that 343 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: there was evidence a collusion, but that Attorney General Bar 344 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: is an ethical and can't be trusted. What is that 345 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: based on? Where's the evidence? An anonymous leak to a 346 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: newspaper that says that I remember that the subjective judgment anyway, 347 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: that Bar was too favorable and how he, you know, 348 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: characterized that the Mulla report. Well, I'm hearing I heard 349 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: today and as you know, my sources on this are 350 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: pretty good. I heard today that Bar may very well 351 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: release the report. Not it won't be this week, It'll 352 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: be next week. Is the expectation right now? Now that 353 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: could get pushed back. This is DC. You got a 354 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: lot of people that you know, move slowly, and nothing's 355 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: gonna make them move any faster. But I do believe 356 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: that that that sounds right to me. That sounds like 357 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: it's in the wheelhouse of wet or in the realm 358 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: of when this will be released. And then I'll have 359 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: three hundred some odd pages of speed reading to do 360 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: so I can bring you exactly what is in this 361 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: report because you know they're going to mischaracterize it. You know, 362 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: the Democrats are going to come up with a million 363 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: different ways to say, oh, there really is clusion when 364 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: there's not. This will be a version of the Democrats 365 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: saying to you, who do you believe me? Or your 366 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: lying eyes? That's certainly what Jerry Nadler does. Rudy, which 367 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: not Rudy Rudiger who I thought it was pretty decent 368 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: in the movie, Rudy I did not. I don't know, 369 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: Fight and Irish and all that good stuff. No, Rudy 370 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 1: Giuliani's out there talking about what Nadler is saying and 371 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: basically not so, not to put too fine a point 372 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: on it, is like, this guy's a loon and this 373 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: is nonsense. Play ten. I don't like what Jerry Nadler 374 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: just did innuendo and there must be so when he 375 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: talks about the Attorney General being biased, my goodness, an 376 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 1: honest committee. He's got some of the most rapid people 377 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: that hate Trump, rabid people that hate Trump. That's what 378 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: was going on here. I mean, anytime that somebody hates Trump, 379 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: they're referred to as neutral in the government, bureaucracy and 380 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: the you know, anyone who's in a position, a deciding position, 381 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: a position of authority who hates Trump, we're told that 382 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: person is a paragon of virtue, ethical beyond reproach. Anyone 383 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: who would dare to question such a person must be 384 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: doing so out of dishonest motives, out of a sense of, 385 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: you know, allegiance to Trump above country. But when the 386 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: person clearly hates Trump, media runs overboard or goes into overdrive, 387 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: overboards the type of motive right goes overboard switches at 388 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: overdrive over something or other. They do that because they're 389 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: trying to shape the narrative as much as they can. 390 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: Because the media is an outgrowth of the Democratic Party, 391 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party is an outgrowth of the media. 392 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: These are symbiotic organisms that need each other, that rely 393 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: on each other. And in the era of Trump, when 394 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: the media has been called out for what it truly is, 395 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: now the Democrat Party and the media more than ever 396 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: are in lockstep with each other because the word the 397 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: word is out about them. We're figuring all this out. 398 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: Speaking of the word being out, Devin Newness, I'm always 399 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: very proud I'm one of the few people that pronounces 400 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: his name correctly, because he told me that's how you 401 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: pronounce it. Devin Newness is making criminal referrals about what's 402 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: gone on here to Attorney General barb the same guy 403 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: who I would note that you have Nadler saying is 404 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: untrustworthy just because he's not a rabbit anti Trump partisan. 405 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: Now we're told he's untrustworthy. They'll smear him, they'll throw 406 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: his reputation under the bus. That don't care. Even he 407 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: was the guy who was already attorney general. Before no 408 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: one seemed to have a problem with him. But now 409 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: he's a bad guy. He's somebody that can't be trusted. Newness, though, 410 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: realizes you know who really can't be trusted. The Democrats 411 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: who have been running around telling collusion fairy tales for 412 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: the last two years. The top Obama appointees in the FBI, 413 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: the CIA and other places who quite clearly use the 414 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: power and the access that they had in an orchestrated 415 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: effort to bring down President Trump. Those are people that 416 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: should not be that cannot be trusted. And the only 417 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: way to find the full extent of their underhanded machinations 418 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: is if there are investigations of this. We should know 419 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: about this. I have. I mean, I can tell you 420 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: this without any exaggeration. I'm somebody who comes from within 421 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: the federal government, within the national security world, and I 422 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: have lost confidence in my former home agency at the CIA, 423 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: I've lost confidence in the FBI's ability to handle politically 424 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: sensitive investigations. I mean, and lost confidence is probably an understatement. 425 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: I think that these institutions are deeply damaged. I think 426 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: that those of us who are paying attention feel like 427 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: we should take everything that goes on at the FBI 428 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: and the dj going forward that touches on Komi and 429 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: the Hillary emails, and you know, we have to approach 430 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: us with deep skepticism. I know there's going to be 431 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: an IG report about the Russia investigation that's supposed to 432 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: come out next summer, but I think that what we 433 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 1: saw with the Hillary emails was that they laid out 434 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: a huge case of a double standard, and then they said, 435 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: there's no politicization, there's no double standard. So we can't 436 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: trust them to wash their own laundry. We can't trust 437 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: them to be their own arbiters of what is done 438 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: in good faith and what is fair and what is right. 439 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: And that's why Newness making this criminal referral about people 440 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: who are involved in that whole mass and saying, hey, 441 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: we need to get to the bottom of this. I 442 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: think this matters Play eight. So we're prepared this week 443 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: to notify the Attorney General that we're prepared to send 444 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: those referrals over as of right now is this may 445 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: not be all of them, but this cleans up quite 446 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: a bit. We have eight referrals that we are prepared 447 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: to send over to the Attorney General this week. All 448 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: of these are classified or sensitive, and so because they 449 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: a lot of them could contain sensitive classified information. Five 450 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: of them are what I would call straight up referrals, 451 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: so just referrals that are that name someone and name 452 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: the specific crimes. Those crimes are lying to Congress and 453 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: misleading Congress. I'm telling you, just give it a little time, 454 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: but it is very likely that you have people who 455 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: were hardliners, absolute hardliners, on any lie, even the smallest lie, 456 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: if it was allegedly told by somebody tied to President Trump. 457 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: Some of those same people now will turn around when 458 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: it's Andy McCabe, who did his good part for the 459 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: Democrats as far as they're concerned by trying to take 460 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: down Trump. You know, when it's somebody like that, we 461 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: will be told that lying doesn't really matter as much, 462 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: that there was no underlying crime. You will see the hypocrisy, 463 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: the double standard in real time. Because there are people 464 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: I mean, Anye McCabe should face charges. The Inspector General 465 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: Steady lied more than once under oath, so it could 466 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: not be any more clear. I mean, if that's the 467 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: finding of the Inspector General of the FBI, that guy 468 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: should face criminal charges. There can't be a special like 469 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: Buddy Buddy club where oh, just because you're friends with 470 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: people that are in that building, who go out and 471 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: prosecute normal Americans for lying all the time. And in 472 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: the case of someone like a Jim Comey, that who 473 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: McCabe worships like some kind of weirdo. Jim Comey, you know, 474 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: lock people up for very minor lines, no problem doing that. 475 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: Just look at what he did to Martha Stewart. And 476 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: yet now we're going to be told that, you know, 477 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: they they should be given they will be given a 478 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: second chance manaforts in solitary confinement. But any mcabe shouldn't 479 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: even face prosecution. I'm sorry, we need to Just because 480 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: the Left doesn't want to talk about this as much 481 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: anymore doesn't mean we should let them off. And if 482 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: we take our focus off this issue and let them 483 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: write the narrative after the fact and pretend that they've 484 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: been acting in good faith, we will never get justice here. 485 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: So these reference, these these referrals that newness is making, 486 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: we've got to drill down into these and we've got 487 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: to push to get accountability. We'll be right back. Nielsen 488 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: has been the brand ambassador for President Trump's most inhumane policies. 489 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: For the rest of her life. People will look at 490 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: her and think, oh, that's the woman who put children 491 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: in cages. She oversaw the family separation policy, which prompted 492 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: protests across the country and heartbreaking images of children in cages. 493 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: Nielsen will likely best be remembered for enforcing the president's 494 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: zero tolerance policy, which resulted in the separation of thousands 495 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: of migrant children from their families. Anyone who comes in 496 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: now runs the same rest that Nielsen has of ruining 497 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: their reputation for the rest of their lives. Nielsen's legacy 498 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: family separations. You know, when we talk about how democrats 499 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: wield the whole Oh, who's going to be invited to 500 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: the cocktail party at some kind of weapon, this is 501 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: exactly what we're talking about. When the media does this 502 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: whole reputation trashing of an administration official on the way out, 503 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: abs in any neutrality, abs into necessary context, and it's 504 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: a part of of a broader move to make people 505 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: that work for Trump untouchable after they leave government service. 506 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: There is, in fact, and there are a number of 507 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: immigrant groups, pro immigrant groups that are effectively open borders 508 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: groups or advocates for near open borders policies that have 509 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: opened up this campaign where they are asking fortune five 510 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: hundred companies, they're reaching out to the CEOs, they're they're 511 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: sending letters, they're trying to put a pressure campaign from 512 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: these pro immigration and it's not even pro pro illegal 513 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: immigration organizations. That's what they are. They're not pro immigration, 514 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: they're pro illegal immigration. And you know these are in 515 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: some cases, I'm sure they're getting not just soro stollars, 516 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: they're probably getting some kind of attack subsidy, some kind 517 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: of five O one C three status. But they're sending 518 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: around a blacklist of people that work for Trump. They've 519 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: named Sarah Huckabee Sanders, They've named Kirsten Nielsen as people 520 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: that should not be brought into corporate leadership roles, whether 521 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: on a board or in some kind of a communication 522 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: or PR strategy. Essentially, they're trying to cut off the 523 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: routes to the private sector for senior officials of the 524 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: Trump administration who at some point want to leave government 525 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: service and go back to being normal, every day folks, 526 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: or at least private sector folks. Normal every day probably 527 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: doesn't get you on the board of a Fortune five 528 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: hundred company. But they're very, very aggressive with this, and 529 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: these are concerted campaigns and they have real ramifications. You know, 530 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: there are those who will think twice about joining the 531 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: Trump administration and fighting for these policies, fighting for the 532 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: kind of changes we talked about here on the show, 533 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: because they know that they've got kids, they've got families 534 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: to support, and they don't want to be the target 535 00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: of this kind of harassment, this kind of blacklist effort. 536 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: They don't want to lose earning potential going forward because 537 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: they serve their country. And I'm sorry, but you know this. 538 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: They'll deny it, they'll say it's not true. But Republicans, conservatives, 539 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: we don't do this. There is something much more vindictive 540 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: and insidious about the mindset on the left when it 541 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: comes to punishing political opponents. It's not enough just to 542 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: shame them in their current job working for an administration. 543 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: It's not enough to just try to get them fired, 544 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: dig something up from their past to you know, then 545 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: continue to shame them when they leave office or when 546 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: they leave their role. But now they want to make 547 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: sure that nobody else will hire them either. Now they 548 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: want to make sure that you know your reputation is ruined. 549 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: When you serve in the Trump administration, you will be mocked, ridiculed, harassed, 550 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: chased out of restaurants until you leave. And then after 551 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: you leave, you'll still be mocked and ridiculed, and there'll 552 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: be an active effort to prevent you from getting hired 553 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: by companies in the private sector that may want to 554 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 1: leverage or use the expertise of former senior government officials. 555 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: This does not happen to Democrats. You look at the 556 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: jobs that former Obama people got, top, top kind of jobs. 557 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: I mean the stuff that you know, you look at 558 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: Jay Carney at Amazon and the people that we're in 559 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: Obama's inner circle. I mean, they they can't get big 560 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,439 Speaker 1: enough as far as the publishers are concerned. They can't 561 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 1: get a big enough advance, They can't be well taken 562 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: well taken care of enough by Corporate America giving them 563 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: board seats to get paid you know, hundreds of thousands 564 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: of dollars a year to show up for four quarterly 565 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: board meetings. You know, they they get all those benefits. 566 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: I mean this. You may be saying, Buck, why do 567 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: we care about this? Because this matters, and for us 568 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: not to recognize it as mattering is a failure on 569 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: the part of conservatives. I mean there should be you know, 570 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: there are there. There are these conservative, super successful, true 571 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: conservatives cross the country. They're a conservative billionaires. Some of 572 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: them names you know, a lot of the names you don't. 573 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: And you know there are all these initiatives they want 574 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,399 Speaker 1: to know, they give money, the foundations and these different things. 575 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: But what we really also need is some pushback in 576 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: the private sector and some people to stand up and say, 577 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: you know what, we're happy to hire our huge company. 578 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: Conservatives are welcome here. Conservatives are are a part of 579 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: the American family and a necessary one, and we're not 580 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: going to allow for any of this political witch hunt 581 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: stuff to extend into our HR department. You know, the 582 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: only way to fight back against this smearing, undermining, boycott 583 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: mentality that the left uses that unfortunately wields very effectively. 584 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: The only way to really fight back about it is 585 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: to take this on head on to start to use. 586 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: You know, conservatives and positions of authority and power need 587 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: to stand up and say this is not okay. You know, 588 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: political discrimination in the private sector is not something that 589 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: we should just lay down for because it is very 590 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: real and that's why they're doing it. I mean, this 591 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: is why you see these different immigration groups trying to 592 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: just create even even a hint, even a perception of 593 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: scandal around the hiring of a Sara Huckebi Sanders at 594 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: some point in the future, or a Kristen Nielsen or 595 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: any of these people who have worked you know, Stephen Miller, 596 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: trust him. They hate Stephen Miller. They can't stand him. 597 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: They're going to try to make sure that he can't 598 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: get a job anywhere. These people are vindictive. The left 599 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: is vindictive. You have to remember that they are not 600 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: into forgive and forget. They're not even into converting you. 601 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: They want to punish wrong think. They want to punish 602 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,439 Speaker 1: conservatives and the right. They want to make examples of 603 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: us and leave us up, smeared, ruined, destroyed as a 604 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: warning to all the rest. Congress has failed to fund 605 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: a CBP for additional barberial agents. They don't believe there's 606 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: even a crisis on the border. And when they do, 607 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: they call humanitarian crisis. They didn't breath those caravans. The 608 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: American people, the voters need to call Congress to task 609 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: and say you need to fix us. Can I tell 610 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: you can? You can build that wall and this point 611 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: to certainly help, But then they'll just come to the 612 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 1: Port of ventures and makes project claims asylum. We got 613 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,800 Speaker 1: to fix the asylum laws and that's up to Congress. 614 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 1: Kevin can't do that, unfortunately, but Kevin do everything in Kevin, 615 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: with this power and with this president, through executive actions, 616 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: do it. They can operationally that Congress fails to do legislatively. 617 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,879 Speaker 1: So what can be done here via executive action? What 618 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 1: could the executive branch the government do to help fix 619 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: the crisis at the border? At somebody with us now 620 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: who can certainly speak to that in a whole lot more. 621 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: Mark Morgan's with us. He is the former Obama era 622 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: border chief and also retired assistant director at the FBI. Mark, 623 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: thanks for making the time, you bet buck? Okay? So, 624 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: how can Trump or to the extent that he can 625 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: fix things, what should he or can he do? Well? Well, 626 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: first of all, the colip you paid. You know Tom 627 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: Holme and I know him well. So if I could 628 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: have thirty seconds with the president, I'd say, hey, bring 629 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: Tom holm and back number one. But I think what 630 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: needs to happen to is a little bit change in 631 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 1: the mindset. And this is what I mean. Congress has failed, 632 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 1: but we know that they would continue to fail, and 633 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: I don't see them changing their way on the horizon. 634 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: I mean, they need to fix these asylum walls. They 635 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: need to reset the floor's decision, they need to fix TVPRA. 636 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: Those two things together are really what's generating ketch and release. 637 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: Congress could change that in ketching release in fifteen minutes. 638 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 1: I don't see it happening. So if I was Detest secretary, 639 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: if I was Kevin, I'd be like, Okay, we got 640 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: to do this on our own. So we need to 641 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: come up with some strategies, knowing full well that Congress 642 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: is not going to be part of the solution. They're 643 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 1: not going to do our job. We're gonna have to 644 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: do it. The President's going to have to do it. 645 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: Change the mindset and and drive on. But so what 646 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: should the president then? I mean, let's for a second. 647 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: Le'll just put aside whether Congress will take action. What 648 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: should the president do? So there's a couple of things, 649 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: so he's already instituted a couple. One is the MPP, 650 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: the Migrant Protection Protocol and what they're doing that in 651 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,240 Speaker 1: a couple of select locations on the border right now. 652 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: I suggest you do it border wide, southwest, border wide, 653 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: and that is there when you come, whether you're a 654 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: family or own a company, minor, and you apply for 655 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: asylum that they need to wait in Mexico while they're 656 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: going through the immigration process. That alone, what will drastically 657 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: change our issues as far as being overwhelmed, because right 658 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: now we're letting in hundreds of thousands a month, as 659 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: we all know. That alone, get Mexico to get off 660 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: the bench and become an active participate in the solution 661 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,879 Speaker 1: of this is one of the key factors that needs 662 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: to happen. Now. You were running border patrol, border, your 663 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 1: border chief during the Obama administration. What's the truth of 664 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 1: family separation under Obama? Did it happen? And what was 665 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: done about those initial migrants coming to the border, especially 666 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: unaccompanied miners, and then the beginning of the family unit surge, 667 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: what was done that should have been handled differently, So 668 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm not sure initially there could have been anything done differently. Look, 669 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: we have to go back and buck Atiker asking one 670 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: of the really sane points that people need to understand. 671 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: The border patrol was never designed for this crisis. Everything 672 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: about them, they're training, their mission, their facilities are all 673 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: designed for adults. And part of the whole process is 674 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: you apprehend them coming illegally, you process them, and you 675 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: move them back to their country of origin. That's what 676 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 1: the mechanism is designed for. So in twenty fourteen we 677 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: saw the influx first of children and then family units. 678 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: It really caught everybody off guard, and Bordertrol actually did 679 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: an incredible job in DHF CDP. And when when the 680 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 1: facilities got filled, I mean they created these new facilities 681 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: that are now and again this was done under Obama 682 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 1: and now they're being disparages cages. Those facilities were set 683 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,760 Speaker 1: up on Obama and the reason because border tool facilities 684 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: were tapped out and the conditions weren't adequate for children 685 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: and they so they scrambled to set up these other 686 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: facilities that would better facilitate the safety and security families 687 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 1: and children. They actually did an incredible job to really 688 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 1: shcramble and really addressed an unprested, unpredicted crisis in twenty fourteen. 689 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,399 Speaker 1: So what could have been done to avert this then? 690 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: All along the way? I mean, as we're looking at 691 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: this now, I mean, I've got people that are that 692 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: are experts with decades of experience handling border related issues 693 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: telling me that it's it's worse than it's ever been. 694 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that the situation right now in 695 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 1: terms of a secure border where we control who comes 696 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: and goes and there aren't loopholes to exploit and there 697 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: aren't masses of people showing up, it's the worst it's 698 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: ever been. So how do we get here? Why did 699 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: it go so wrong? It's easy? So I've actually so 700 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: that's what you're talking to. We're in lockstep. I've actually 701 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: saying right now the crisis that we face on is 702 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: the worst it's ever been for this country because of 703 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: the demographics. Right, So we're gonna about a million this year, 704 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: unlike in the nineties and two thousands where we had 705 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: over a million, but we set ninety percent of them 706 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: back to their country of origin. Which was Mexico. Now 707 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 1: because of the family units and uncompanied children and the 708 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: broken laws that we're gonna get a million this year, 709 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna let six hundred and fifty thousand into the country. 710 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: It's an absolutely the worst we've ever seen. Here's the 711 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: problem in two and fourteen, it's the same issue then 712 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: as it is now again, the Flora's decision and tvpr 713 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,839 Speaker 1: A that was catching release. They knew it in two 714 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen under the Obama administration. They could have 715 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 1: fixed it then. They refused to fix it then and 716 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: they've refused to fix it ever since. Then. That's the problem. 717 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: To grab a kid, set one foot of American soil, 718 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: abuse our system and generosity, and you're allowed in, never 719 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 1: to be heard from again. Do you think there's just 720 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: no will also from this administration and from the American 721 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: political class at a minimum, to enforce the component of 722 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 1: the laws that involve interior deportation. And what I'm really 723 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,360 Speaker 1: asking you is people that stand around waiting for asylum, 724 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: assuming they show up for their hearing, which a large 725 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,439 Speaker 1: percentage of them don't seem to show up for their hearings. 726 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: But assuming they show up for their hearing they don't 727 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 1: get asylum, they then have another effort to try and 728 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: legally challenge the deportation proceedings against them. But do we 729 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: even have the political will to deport people that that 730 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: apply for asylum and don't get it? So that buck 731 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 1: another you got it? You know this issue, and that's 732 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 1: another pillar. So you ask me what needs to be 733 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: done immediately and the other thing that I would say 734 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: that one of these pillars has to be aggressive. Look, 735 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 1: when there's a crisis, I'm not a political guy, I'm 736 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 1: a law enforcement guy. We have a crisis. You need immediate, swift, 737 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: in bold action to address a crisis. One of those 738 00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: pillars that needs to happen right now is increased interior enforcement. 739 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,240 Speaker 1: And we absolutely need to target the one million people 740 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: that have come here illegally, filed pudulent claims, have had 741 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 1: their due processes through the immigration process and receive deportation 742 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: orders of removal and they still don't comply and they're 743 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: here illegally. We need to go after those individuals as 744 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,439 Speaker 1: a rule of law issue and remove them. We start 745 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: doing that, you're going to take a huge part of 746 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 1: that incentive away for these people to come because if 747 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: they know ultimately, when it's all said and done, after 748 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: they have their due process, if they're going to remove 749 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 1: you're going to see the numbers go down because we're 750 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:38,360 Speaker 1: applying consequences under the rule of law. What other consequences 751 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: that are currently on the books for immigration, whether for 752 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,840 Speaker 1: the people themselves or here legally, or for employers, and 753 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: what else has to be done to get how do 754 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,560 Speaker 1: we get this issue under control overall? So that's the 755 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,800 Speaker 1: next issue, right, But again I'm going off the assumption 756 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: that Congress isn't going to do their job. Congress again, 757 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: they fixed flores a tdpr A, they will removed the 758 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: largest part of the incentives. But I'm going that they 759 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 1: don't have the will and they're not going to do that. 760 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: So the next thing is, and I just did this 761 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: this week, is we need to go after the employers 762 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 1: that are highing illegal aliens. So let's let's go after 763 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,879 Speaker 1: again rule enforce our laws and go after people that 764 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,480 Speaker 1: have had due process and they're still here illegally. Then 765 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: let's go after the employers they are hiring illegal aliens 766 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: that do not have the right to work. We start 767 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 1: doing that, you start removing the incentives without Congress having 768 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 1: to do anything. Is this going to get better? Is 769 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 1: it gonna get worse this year? Martin? If if they 770 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 1: don't take that bold, swift, immediate action of force and 771 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 1: Mexico to getting the game and do an interior enforcement. 772 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: And one thing I would add is is is driving ports, 773 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, to the border and immigration and law judges 774 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 1: and everything that you need to actually go through the 775 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,919 Speaker 1: immigration proceedings quick and swiftly. If they if they don't 776 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 1: do all that, you're going to see the numbers increase. 777 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 1: I will anticipate if we're not successful in doing all 778 00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,840 Speaker 1: of that, you're going to see over a million. But 779 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 1: if they can do that, even without Congress acting, you're 780 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 1: still they're going to be able to draft dramatically reduce 781 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,800 Speaker 1: the numbers. Mark Morgan, everybody, former Obama Border Chief, retired 782 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: Assistant director at the FBI. Mark, thank you so much 783 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,760 Speaker 1: for making the time, my friend. We appreciate it. Anytime. 784 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: Buck team will be right back. You are now entering 785 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,720 Speaker 1: the Freedom Hot Table Operation Center. All sensitive programs Musky 786 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:32,359 Speaker 1: Caps strictly need to know Team Buck is cleared and 787 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 1: ready for the Buck Brief. The Islamic Republic's Revolution at 788 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 1: Guard Corps has actively engaged in terrorism and created, supported, 789 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,800 Speaker 1: and directed other terrorist groups. The RGC masquerades as a 790 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: legitimate military organization, but none of us should be fooled. 791 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 1: The Trump administration is simply recognizing a basic reality. The 792 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: IRGC will take its rightful place on the same list 793 00:46:55,200 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 1: as terror groups it supports. IRGC folks now a terrorist 794 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,720 Speaker 1: officially a terrorist organization. And this from the Wall Street 795 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,279 Speaker 1: Journal with the story today, the Trump administration escalated a 796 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 1: pressure campaign against Iran by designated the country's Islamic Revolutionary 797 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 1: Guard Corps a foreign terrorist organization. It's the first time 798 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 1: an element of a foreign state has been officially named 799 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: a terrorist entity. Quote. This action will significantly expand the 800 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: scope and scale of our maximum pressure on the Iranian regime. 801 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: President Trump said, if you're doing business with the IRGC, 802 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 1: you will be bankrolling terrorism. The designation aims to squeeze 803 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 1: the IRGC's financial resources and shrink its military presence in 804 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,800 Speaker 1: the Middle East, helping the US crack down on businesses 805 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 1: in Europe and elsewhere controlled by the organization. Designation also 806 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 1: allows the US to subject IRGC officials and those who 807 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:57,799 Speaker 1: provide support for the organization to travel restrictions and lets 808 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: US prosecutors bring charges against those provide material support to 809 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 1: the IRGC. So this is this is a big step, 810 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,799 Speaker 1: and this is going to this is going to turn 811 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 1: the heat up pretty substantially. I think in our situation 812 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,879 Speaker 1: visa v. The Iranians, I believe that we're gonna We're 813 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: gonna find out that this is something that the Iranians 814 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: are are very sensitive to because the IRGC and especially 815 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 1: the Koods Force, which is the foreign operations arm of 816 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 1: the IRGC, could Arabic for Jerusalem, so that gives you 817 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 1: a sense of where Iran's head is. The that the 818 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 1: IRGC has now been designated in this way will have 819 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 1: implications for where they can travel and where members of 820 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,720 Speaker 1: the RGC can go in the Middle East and obviously 821 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 1: around the rest of the world. But one of the 822 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,239 Speaker 1: untold stories of the Iraq War to this day, or 823 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 1: at least story that did not get nearly the attention 824 00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 1: that it deserves, is that the IRGC was involved in 825 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 1: assisting Shia militias in assisting the the sodrissed militias in 826 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 1: Iraq in their attacks on US troops, specifically on vehicles 827 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:21,320 Speaker 1: and vehicle convoys. American vehicle convoys with these EFP devices 828 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 1: explosively formed penetrators, a special shape charge explosive that can 829 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,840 Speaker 1: punch through the whole of armored vehicles and does terrible damage, 830 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: kill people in, people inside. And the Iranians are responsible 831 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 1: for at a minimum hundreds, if not if not thousands 832 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,720 Speaker 1: of American debts in Iraq. And we were just so 833 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,799 Speaker 1: beaten down by the prospect of holding Iraq together politically 834 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 1: in this country that the Bush administration and then obviously 835 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,759 Speaker 1: the Obama administration after that, had just no interest in 836 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,839 Speaker 1: really holding the Iranians accountable. In fact, the Obama administration's 837 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: approach to dealing with the ira As was to try 838 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: to buy them off, literally buy them off pallets of cash, 839 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,840 Speaker 1: show up and give them a whole bunch of money 840 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 1: and signs some deal that the Iranians are only signing 841 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 1: because it makes not a single painful concession on their 842 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 1: part and allows them to become much much wealthier as 843 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:26,240 Speaker 1: a nation. In that whole process, it's a disastrously bad 844 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 1: strategic move, a terrible deal for the United States. And 845 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,840 Speaker 1: this is where I think that the genius and effect 846 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: of Trump, because there is he does have some genius aspects, folks. 847 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: I mean, he's there's some stuff that only Trump understands, 848 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:44,400 Speaker 1: that only Trump could accomplish. And by taking this step, 849 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: obviously Mike Pompeo backs him on this and other members 850 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:51,440 Speaker 1: of the administration, but by designated the IRGC in this way, 851 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: what you really have is showing the Iranians that Trump 852 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: takes a very different approach and has a very different 853 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,200 Speaker 1: tone than his predecessor, that he's not in the buying 854 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 1: off the Iranians game. Anybody should know, should be able 855 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 1: to figure out that allowing an official arm of the 856 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: Iranian government to arm terrorist militias with impunity basically across 857 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 1: the Middle East, to help Hezbollah less so, but probably 858 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 1: still so, to help Hamas, to help the Assad regime 859 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 1: in Syria and all of its Shabiha militant thugs, you know, 860 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 1: to do these things without the consequences that can be 861 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 1: leveled against a level against them with a terrorism designation, 862 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 1: it just doesn't really make sense. But you know, Trump 863 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 1: has tackled a lot of issues where the consensus has been, oh, 864 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 1: he can't do that, he shouldn't do that, that's a 865 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 1: terrible idea. Why would he ever go down that path, 866 00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 1: and then when he does it in retrospect, there's this 867 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,880 Speaker 1: recognition from a lot more folks, including people who know 868 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:02,400 Speaker 1: the issues very well, that his application of common sense 869 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:07,840 Speaker 1: to incredibly complicated problem sets can bring about some pretty 870 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:14,239 Speaker 1: amazing results, can move, can shift the conversation on an 871 00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: issue in a way that hasn't been possible for years 872 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 1: and years. It's not just the IRGC designations. Also, you 873 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,719 Speaker 1: know the trade war with China. We've been told how long, oh, 874 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,160 Speaker 1: he's got this trade war. It's terrible. Trade wars lead 875 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 1: to real wars. Why would he allow this? Why would 876 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:32,200 Speaker 1: he do this? And now there's a much broader understanding 877 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 1: of the fact that we were just in a trade 878 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: war before, and we refused to accept that, we refused 879 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,080 Speaker 1: to recognize it. But we've been in a trade war 880 00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 1: for quite some time. It's just a one way war. 881 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,359 Speaker 1: The Chinese are waging it and we are suffering. We're 882 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:53,799 Speaker 1: the ones who are left wondering when they're going to stop. Well, 883 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 1: we're going to complain to the wt I'm gonna tried. 884 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,960 Speaker 1: China never should have been allowed in the World Trade Organization. 885 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 1: China should have been punished for a lot of its 886 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:05,279 Speaker 1: activities on trade with US, stretching back for years, and 887 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,399 Speaker 1: yet no administration was willing to do it. Nobody would 888 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 1: take those steps until Trump comes along. The whole notion 889 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: of free trade as it was discussed in the US 890 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 1: in policy circles for decades, is now changed such that 891 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,880 Speaker 1: you can say, well, yeah, free trade is great, we 892 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 1: don't have free trade. Now. What Trump's approach to the 893 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 1: wall with the US Mexico border another example of this. 894 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,880 Speaker 1: We have to keep people physically out. We need to 895 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,239 Speaker 1: make it easier for border patrol the catch people who 896 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:38,719 Speaker 1: try to enter our physical space in this country. It's 897 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 1: a it seems like such a simplistic solution. In fact, 898 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: that was one of the big knocks against it. Oh 899 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 1: it's you know, this is like something that you would 900 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 1: have tried in the third century, not the twenty first. All. 901 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,440 Speaker 1: It turns out Trump is right on the wall too. 902 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: The consensus opinions against him, but true experts know that 903 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,279 Speaker 1: a wall has been shown to be very effective, is 904 00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:01,759 Speaker 1: very helpful, and that it is the Trump administration that 905 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,960 Speaker 1: it is willing to push these issues and take actions 906 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 1: that his predecessors were not willing to do. And you 907 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,120 Speaker 1: see this, and you see this on Russia too, by 908 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 1: the way, he sends sniper rifles and other munitions to 909 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,920 Speaker 1: to Ukraine to use against Russia, javalin anti tank missiles 910 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:24,919 Speaker 1: to use against Russian backed separatists in Ukraine. He does that, 911 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:30,440 Speaker 1: and they still call him a Russian stooge. Right Trump's administration. 912 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 1: I mean, well, while Trump has been commander in chief, 913 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,320 Speaker 1: we blew up our planes, blew up a couple of 914 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 1: hundred Russians in the Syria desert. Obama never would have 915 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 1: done something like that, allowed something like that, but we 916 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 1: were protecting our allies and they were trying to rush 917 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,800 Speaker 1: as paramilitaries working for the Syrian regime. I tried to 918 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,400 Speaker 1: rush our Kurdish allies and that was a very bad idea. 919 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: But common sense in politics is a rarity, and it's 920 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 1: one of the things that President Trump does so very well, 921 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:02,560 Speaker 1: and that has such an important effect on his politics. 922 00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,560 Speaker 1: By instinct and in many ways, he's a genius when 923 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:07,920 Speaker 1: it comes to these things, because nobody else will do 924 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 1: what he's willing to do and see it the way 925 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:14,520 Speaker 1: it should be seen. And you have no regrets of 926 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,080 Speaker 1: anything you've said in the last couple of years. I 927 00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,360 Speaker 1: don't regret calling out this president for what I consider 928 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:26,960 Speaker 1: deeply unethical and improper conduct. Not a bit no regrets, 929 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:33,799 Speaker 1: says the Shifter. Shifty Shift no regrets running around for 930 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,319 Speaker 1: two years saying the President of the United States was 931 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,839 Speaker 1: a trader, was a Russian asset. That Shift who has 932 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,600 Speaker 1: classified access on the Intelligence Committee, He's able to see 933 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,560 Speaker 1: classified documents, Shift suggesting that he had seen all he 934 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:52,400 Speaker 1: needed to on the classified side to convince him that 935 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 1: the President had committed collusion. Nope, that's not true. And 936 00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 1: now he's out there saying that there's nothing that he 937 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,880 Speaker 1: would have done differently. I mean, this is why he 938 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,360 Speaker 1: should never be taken seriously again on television, and he 939 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,640 Speaker 1: should not be put on television to talk about these issues. 940 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 1: Anyone who votes for Adam Shift is I think, just 941 00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 1: suffering from a level of Trump derangement syndrome that is 942 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:24,480 Speaker 1: just completely off the rails. And our friend Annie McCarthy 943 00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 1: pointed this out about Shift play twelve. What a prosecutor 944 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 1: is interested in is whether there's a criminal conspiracy between 945 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 1: Trump and Russia, and knowing that Mueller was not going 946 00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 1: to come up with that, which I think has been 947 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,719 Speaker 1: obvious for about eighteen months. What the Democrats have been 948 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 1: trying to do is shift the ground from what they 949 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 1: were hoping Mueller would come up with, which would be 950 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:54,320 Speaker 1: an espionage conspiracy to undermine the election, to contacts between 951 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,719 Speaker 1: Trump people and Russia people which fall short of collusion. 952 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,720 Speaker 1: You should look at every buddies connections. We've had thirty 953 00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:06,360 Speaker 1: years of this government telling us that Russia was a 954 00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,400 Speaker 1: perfectly good place to do business, that it was a 955 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 1: strategic partner, that it might be a counter terrorism partner 956 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,120 Speaker 1: of the United States. And it wasn't until Trump won 957 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:20,880 Speaker 1: the election that suddenly Russia became, you know, our nefarious 958 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,520 Speaker 1: cold war. I agree with Bill Hammer there. It is 959 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 1: an interesting point because one of the necessary components of 960 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: the whole Russia frenzy was, I mean meaning the Russian 961 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 1: collusion analysis, was to just demonize Russia as this country 962 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:43,439 Speaker 1: that we can't talk to them, we can't go near them, 963 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,400 Speaker 1: we can't do anyone who's spoken to a Russian from 964 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,760 Speaker 1: a campaign has all kinds of problems that you know, 965 00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 1: that's that's just completely divorced from reality. This is this 966 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 1: is absurd. This is bizarre that you have such a 967 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:06,760 Speaker 1: focus on Russia as a primary national security challenge for 968 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 1: the United States, and not even think of it as 969 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 1: a challenge, but to think of it as as an 970 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:15,920 Speaker 1: imminent threat to us, that the Russians will change election outcomes, 971 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:21,000 Speaker 1: that the Russians can shape the presidential election with ease. 972 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,760 Speaker 1: You know, I'm somebody who actually used to work an 973 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 1: intelligence and I could tell you that if if the 974 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:32,480 Speaker 1: Russians spending let's call it all in a few million dollars, 975 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 1: maybe if they could with a few million dollars of 976 00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 1: internet spending and paying those guys to be the Internet 977 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 1: trolls and all that stuff, they could sway a multi 978 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:47,120 Speaker 1: billion dollar US presidential election. And I mean sway via 979 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 1: propaganic because they didn't change votes. I'm not saying they, 980 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 1: you know, could they hack into something and mess around. 981 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,640 Speaker 1: They probably could, but that's not really the allegation. The 982 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 1: real allegation has always been that the Russians were able 983 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 1: to insert themselves in this process in exactly a way 984 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:10,240 Speaker 1: that would bring President Trump victory, you know, or bring 985 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,240 Speaker 1: than candidate Trump victory. And this is just this is absurd. 986 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 1: I run out of adjectives to describe these things because 987 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,560 Speaker 1: there's only so many ways you can say crazy, wacko, nuts, absurd. 988 00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:26,080 Speaker 1: There's only so many variations of that. You know, this 989 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 1: is just this is unsious, this is irrational stuff. But 990 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: Adam Schiff says, you know, no regrets at all. We've 991 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 1: been fearmongered too by the left on Russia for two 992 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:44,560 Speaker 1: years because they're bitter that Hillary lost the election. That 993 00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 1: is what has happened. Fearmongered, right, They've just done everything 994 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:54,640 Speaker 1: they can to create a this Russian boogeyman situation. And 995 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 1: now we know China is the much bigger threat, a 996 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 1: much more serious threat and concern for us. I know 997 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,720 Speaker 1: the media's wasted all this time and energy and effort 998 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 1: not preparing the American people for the very real challenge 999 01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:14,200 Speaker 1: to American hegemony from China, but getting us all worked 1000 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,640 Speaker 1: up about whether somebody knew somebody who once was in Russia, 1001 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,760 Speaker 1: who knew somebody who knew an oligarch. I mean the 1002 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:23,760 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory webs that have been woven so that there 1003 01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:29,400 Speaker 1: can be this fixation on Russia. Is it's really troubling 1004 01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:31,959 Speaker 1: these people have as much as much power as they do. 1005 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:37,920 Speaker 1: It's it's bothers him to me in very profound ways 1006 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,760 Speaker 1: that you have people like Schif and Mark Warner and 1007 01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:46,640 Speaker 1: others who have taken this position and will suffer no 1008 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 1: consequences for it. You know, Swallwell thinks that he's going 1009 01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:53,400 Speaker 1: to run for president, thinks he's gonna run for president 1010 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:58,360 Speaker 1: on a gun control agenda. Just as a quick aside, 1011 01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,600 Speaker 1: I had that sheriff that I mentioned last week in 1012 01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 1: Colorado who said that he would not enforce the Colorado 1013 01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,720 Speaker 1: red flag laws that's going into it, that's well under 1014 01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:16,960 Speaker 1: consideration in the Colorado State Senate and the reason I 1015 01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:18,840 Speaker 1: got to interview him today and I asked him about this, 1016 01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 1: and yeah, there are fourteen other states that have read 1017 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:25,080 Speaker 1: flag laws. But there's a very very important distinction with 1018 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: what they're going to do in Colorado, and that is 1019 01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,920 Speaker 1: you can have your guns taken away and have police 1020 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,880 Speaker 1: conduct a search in a home to take those guns 1021 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:40,800 Speaker 1: away without any representation from the party who is losing 1022 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: his or her guns. So someone can go to a 1023 01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,720 Speaker 1: court and say I don't like you know, this guy's scary, 1024 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:49,439 Speaker 1: he's dangerous, take his guns away, and you receive no notification, 1025 01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,840 Speaker 1: no right to appear in defense of yourself. The judge 1026 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 1: can just say, okay, we're gonna go let's send the 1027 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 1: sheriff to go in and take that person's guns away. 1028 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 1: That is absolutely a due process violation. The sheriff and 1029 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,120 Speaker 1: Colorado who's saying that it's not just him, and there 1030 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,480 Speaker 1: are others as well, we're joined together who are declaring 1031 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:18,000 Speaker 1: themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries. They very clearly understand that there's 1032 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 1: enormous due process concerns with this, and they're taking I 1033 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 1: think the appropriate action, which is to raise this at 1034 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,400 Speaker 1: the national level and just show that, you know, with 1035 01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:29,360 Speaker 1: the liberals do this all the time. This is whether 1036 01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,680 Speaker 1: it's the no fly liston guns or red flag laws 1037 01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:38,360 Speaker 1: and guns. Their due process concerns are always really a 1038 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 1: function of what they want and don't want. They'll they'll 1039 01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 1: advocate a due process issue or they'll advocate for greater 1040 01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:48,800 Speaker 1: due process when they want a certain outcome, but they 1041 01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 1: don't really believe in the principle of due process. They 1042 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 1: just like the appearance of it as long as they 1043 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,120 Speaker 1: get the political outcome that they want, and that law 1044 01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 1: in Colorado is a very a very good example of that. 1045 01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,840 Speaker 1: So I'll continue to follow see where that goes. I 1046 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,240 Speaker 1: wonder whether the sheriff with the attention he's gotten across 1047 01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,440 Speaker 1: the country will be able to stop what is it 1048 01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 1: clearly flawed law from going into effect. Team will be 1049 01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:21,360 Speaker 1: right back Trump's taxes. Everybody whoa exciting stuff? I know, 1050 01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 1: does it get more exciting than the Trumpsters taxes? Democrats 1051 01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,920 Speaker 1: are so fixated on this. I really do believe that 1052 01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:34,800 Speaker 1: Trump is it's There are two possibilities. One is that 1053 01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:38,360 Speaker 1: Trump is kind of rope a doping them into exposing 1054 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,320 Speaker 1: the obsession they have with this even more, and then 1055 01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:44,360 Speaker 1: eventually he'll release whatever they want him to release and 1056 01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:45,760 Speaker 1: there'll be nothing in it and they'll just look like 1057 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,240 Speaker 1: the fools that they are. That's that's one possibility. The 1058 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,479 Speaker 1: other possibilities I see it is that he doesn't want 1059 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:57,680 Speaker 1: some somewhat politically not damaging, but inconvenient or embarrassing stuff 1060 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 1: about his charitable giving or how much money he makes. 1061 01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:02,440 Speaker 1: None of that would really move the needle, though, So 1062 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,880 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's what motivates Trump here. I 1063 01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,600 Speaker 1: think he just doesn't want to do it because Democrats 1064 01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:09,400 Speaker 1: are trying to tell him he has to, and he 1065 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:13,400 Speaker 1: likes to fight over these things. A surprising show of 1066 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:20,600 Speaker 1: backbone on this issue. A surprising moment of clarity from 1067 01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 1: Mitt Romney on this one of all people, I wouldn't 1068 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:28,480 Speaker 1: expect Mitt to come out swinging in defensive well not 1069 01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 1: even really defensive Trump, but just at the stupidity of 1070 01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,600 Speaker 1: Democrats when it comes to taxes, at Trump's taxes, and 1071 01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:40,800 Speaker 1: that well taxes in general for sure, but Trump's taxes specifically. 1072 01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 1: Here's what Mitt it or quit it, as I used 1073 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,760 Speaker 1: to like to say during the twenty twelve election. Here's 1074 01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,080 Speaker 1: what he said about this place seven. Either the Democrats 1075 01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:52,320 Speaker 1: are just applying along his handbook, which is going after 1076 01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 1: his tax returns, to a legislative action is veronic. That's 1077 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 1: not going to happen. The courts are not going to 1078 01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,280 Speaker 1: say that you can compel the person running for office 1079 01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,360 Speaker 1: to release their tax returns. So he's gonna win this 1080 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:08,959 Speaker 1: victory he wins some time after time. I think it's 1081 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,600 Speaker 1: probably right here, and think of the Democrats are gonna 1082 01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,520 Speaker 1: spend so much energy on this. No one I think 1083 01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:18,240 Speaker 1: in America who voted for Trump last time is sitting 1084 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,040 Speaker 1: around saying, well, if he doesn't release his taxes, I 1085 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 1: don't think, you know, I think that that's going to 1086 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:24,680 Speaker 1: be the deal breaker for me. I don't think there's 1087 01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:27,960 Speaker 1: a person in the country, I really mean this who 1088 01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:31,760 Speaker 1: takes that position. I don't think that person exists. If 1089 01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,760 Speaker 1: they If they do, it's a handful of them, and 1090 01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:39,560 Speaker 1: they're completely insignificant to the eventual presidential outcome for twenty twenty. 1091 01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:44,560 Speaker 1: But Schiff, who's desperate for a subject to latch himself 1092 01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:49,760 Speaker 1: onto like the slimy Ramora he is. You know, Schiff 1093 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,560 Speaker 1: has decided that he's gonna make this his next Russia 1094 01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:56,520 Speaker 1: collusion delusion, and he's all about Trump's taxes, all of 1095 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,680 Speaker 1: a sudden play all he has been for a while. 1096 01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 1: But now he's focusing on this even more because Russia 1097 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:05,680 Speaker 1: can't get it done for him. Play clip four. The 1098 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:09,040 Speaker 1: IRUs is supposed to conduct examination of the presence returns. 1099 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 1: This is a president who has resisted any oversight or 1100 01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:16,120 Speaker 1: inquiry into his affairs, and so I think the Chairman 1101 01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,400 Speaker 1: of Ways and Means has every right to determine is 1102 01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,960 Speaker 1: the IRIS following its own policy and protocols. But I'll 1103 01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,480 Speaker 1: also say this, Jake, there is no legal ground for 1104 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 1: them here. The statute says the IRS shall provide these 1105 01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:34,440 Speaker 1: returns to the Congress upon request, and yet has this 1106 01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:38,640 Speaker 1: ever been done before, if that's the intent of the statute, 1107 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,080 Speaker 1: and in these circumstances is this And oh, by the way, 1108 01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:46,880 Speaker 1: there are also statutes that Congress rights that courts quickly 1109 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,800 Speaker 1: overturned and say no, that is not okay. And I 1110 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,120 Speaker 1: think that's what the that's the expectation here. Even if 1111 01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 1: you take the statutory language as written and apply that 1112 01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,160 Speaker 1: and say okay, well they well, then you can have 1113 01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 1: the White House immediately bring a challenge to this in court. 1114 01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:06,240 Speaker 1: Get a stay, because once the taxes are released, then 1115 01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,080 Speaker 1: the damage is all done. So get a stay on 1116 01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,400 Speaker 1: that order from the Congress, and then it'll go into 1117 01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:14,640 Speaker 1: the courts and we'll see. And I think that's the 1118 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,440 Speaker 1: likely trajectory here. And Trump is right to make them 1119 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,280 Speaker 1: fight for this. Why why give them anything? One thing 1120 01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 1: that Trump, I mean, there are many things that Trump 1121 01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,360 Speaker 1: has taught I think conservatives in general, but one thing 1122 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 1: that is that is important from his side is when 1123 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:32,480 Speaker 1: you're dealing with the opposition, when you're dealing with essentially 1124 01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:36,560 Speaker 1: an enemy on a certain subject, don't concede anything. It's 1125 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,160 Speaker 1: kind of like the never apologize approach that Trump has. 1126 01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 1: Don't give them anything. There, don't do anything out of 1127 01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:47,160 Speaker 1: a sense of good faith, or maybe they'll be honorable 1128 01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,360 Speaker 1: in return, because they're just looking to crush you. So 1129 01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, you certainly don't want to give them your 1130 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:56,240 Speaker 1: taxes and hope that they wouldn't be foolish to release them. 1131 01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,439 Speaker 1: I mean. Jay Seklo, one of the president's lawyers, pointed 1132 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:03,040 Speaker 1: out that this is this is serious stuff. If in 1133 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,560 Speaker 1: fact Democrats plan to just get access to Trump's tax 1134 01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 1: returns and then publicly release them to embarrass him, this 1135 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:15,680 Speaker 1: would be illegal. Plate five said, they're not contemplating releasing it. 1136 01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:17,800 Speaker 1: He said, this would just be for the chairman to review. 1137 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,479 Speaker 1: I want, I do want to turn onto the report. George, 1138 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:24,120 Speaker 1: not contemplating they're releasing it. They release it, it's a felony, 1139 01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,040 Speaker 1: so of course they can't release it. I mean, so 1140 01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,960 Speaker 1: this idea we're not contemplating releasing it, they need to 1141 01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,240 Speaker 1: read Section sixty one O three. Well, basically one on 1142 01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,960 Speaker 1: three says if a person releases it, it's a crime. 1143 01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,040 Speaker 1: Right they could vote to release it in close session. 1144 01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:42,920 Speaker 1: But I take your point. Yep. We all know though 1145 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 1: that they'll they'll try to leak something interesting. Statistics out 1146 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 1: today on on leaks from classified leaks and referrals that 1147 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:55,760 Speaker 1: have resulted from it. Compared to the Obama administration and 1148 01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 1: what you're seeing now, and here's guess what. Here's what 1149 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:03,040 Speaker 1: you see. There are far more leaks of classified information 1150 01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:06,639 Speaker 1: occurring under this administration. One know why because deep state 1151 01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,240 Speaker 1: actors within the federal government, and there are many of them, 1152 01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:14,000 Speaker 1: Because the federal government is predominantly staff now with deep staters. 1153 01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 1: Deep state actors in the federal government are taking it 1154 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,799 Speaker 1: upon themselves to release classified information, whether it's the General 1155 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,400 Speaker 1: Flint phone call with Ambassador Kisliak or any number of 1156 01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:30,360 Speaker 1: different areas, to release that information to embarrass the president 1157 01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:34,479 Speaker 1: or to hurt this administration. They are willing to risk. 1158 01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 1: And this gives you a sense of how ideologically hardened 1159 01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,400 Speaker 1: people in the federal government are against this president and 1160 01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 1: against the Republican Party. They're willing to risk prison time 1161 01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:50,519 Speaker 1: and their careers, so their livelihood and their freedom to 1162 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:52,760 Speaker 1: get a negative news story out there about Trump or 1163 01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:58,400 Speaker 1: one of his people. That's a pretty astounding revelation. And 1164 01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,200 Speaker 1: there's far more of it now during the Obama years, 1165 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:05,200 Speaker 1: far more. It's because the people in the government are 1166 01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:07,640 Speaker 1: are not all of them. But there are a lot 1167 01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:09,400 Speaker 1: of people who work in the federal government who view 1168 01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:12,360 Speaker 1: Trump as I'm kind of a a clear and present 1169 01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:16,559 Speaker 1: danger that this president breaks all the rules in the 1170 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 1: sense that the rules that are in place that his 1171 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:24,360 Speaker 1: detractors are supposed to respect. They just say, Nope, it's 1172 01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:28,559 Speaker 1: different now this time, it's different because of Trump. This 1173 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:33,520 Speaker 1: time we have to get his taxes because Trump. McK mulvaaney, 1174 01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,559 Speaker 1: Acting White House Stevestava saying, look, it's just this is 1175 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,840 Speaker 1: just never going to happen in place six. They know 1176 01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,320 Speaker 1: that one of the fundamental principles of the IRS is 1177 01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:46,799 Speaker 1: to protect the confidentiality of you and me and everybody 1178 01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,080 Speaker 1: else who files taxes. And they know that they know 1179 01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:52,680 Speaker 1: the terms under law by which the IRS can give 1180 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:56,479 Speaker 1: them the documents. But political political hit shop is not 1181 01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:00,479 Speaker 1: one of those reasons. You believe Democrats will never see 1182 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:03,880 Speaker 1: the president's tax returns. Oh no, never, no, nor should 1183 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:09,240 Speaker 1: they think of the precedent this sets. The government could 1184 01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:13,400 Speaker 1: force you to give them all kinds of personal and 1185 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,880 Speaker 1: private information under the promise that this is going to 1186 01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,920 Speaker 1: be kept confidential. But they they'll force you to give 1187 01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,600 Speaker 1: it to them. But we promise will be confidential. And 1188 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,679 Speaker 1: then well, because you're a Republican and you're a big deal. 1189 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:26,679 Speaker 1: You know, whether you're the president or it could happen 1190 01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,519 Speaker 1: any number of prominent Republicans. But because you're Republican and 1191 01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,280 Speaker 1: you're a big deal, we think we're going to just 1192 01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:35,920 Speaker 1: decide to let this stuff out there because it'll hurt 1193 01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,760 Speaker 1: you a little bit, and that then is self justifying. 1194 01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:41,320 Speaker 1: That's all you need to know is that it'll be 1195 01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,200 Speaker 1: damaging to a Republican. Therefore, the laws that are in place, 1196 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,360 Speaker 1: the statutes that are in place, no longer apply, no 1197 01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:50,439 Speaker 1: longer matter, or at least the sense of how you 1198 01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:54,879 Speaker 1: interpret these statutes and what they really mean. Drump's taxes 1199 01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:59,679 Speaker 1: are nothing Burger two point zero. I'm very sure of that. 1200 01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:04,160 Speaker 1: Will we ever see them, can't tell you definitively will 1201 01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,600 Speaker 1: or the other. I'm also I think that the Democrats 1202 01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,400 Speaker 1: right now, I'm sure there are efforts behind the scenes 1203 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 1: to try to find somebody who will leak them. So 1204 01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:18,519 Speaker 1: we will keep an eye on this one team into 1205 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:25,040 Speaker 1: our social media, and they intentionally try to divide us 1206 01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 1: if there is an incident, I want everyone to listen 1207 01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:32,879 Speaker 1: to me here. If there is an incident in America 1208 01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 1: that's controversial about kneeling for the national anthem, or there's 1209 01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,559 Speaker 1: a school shooting, or there's an incident between a cop 1210 01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:45,759 Speaker 1: and a kid. You know who comes onto our social 1211 01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:50,360 Speaker 1: media The Russians. Okay, I want you to hear this. 1212 01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:54,720 Speaker 1: The Russians. They come into our social media and they 1213 01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:58,960 Speaker 1: spin things to get us into these divided camps. That 1214 01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:05,519 Speaker 1: is other Democrat candidate for the presidency named Tim Ryan, 1215 01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,320 Speaker 1: who I don't know how many of you even heard of, 1216 01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:10,400 Speaker 1: mister Tim Ryan, but I mean, I can tell you this. 1217 01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,559 Speaker 1: All I need to know is what he said in 1218 01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,160 Speaker 1: that rant to know that he is obviously either not 1219 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:22,080 Speaker 1: very bright or quite delusional. Because anyone who thinks that 1220 01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,280 Speaker 1: what we really need to be worried about right now, 1221 01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:27,600 Speaker 1: after the Mulla report has come out, after we know 1222 01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:31,799 Speaker 1: that there was no collusion, to be giving speeches wherever 1223 01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:37,000 Speaker 1: he was and suggesting that the real issue that needs 1224 01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,920 Speaker 1: to be front and center here is Russians sewing dissent 1225 01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:45,640 Speaker 1: on social media, as if that one extra meme that 1226 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,679 Speaker 1: some guy puts on social media is going to change 1227 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:52,519 Speaker 1: the direction of politics in this country. This is this 1228 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:54,960 Speaker 1: is pathological and I know I've been saying that for 1229 01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:59,120 Speaker 1: a long time. But these people are infected, their minds 1230 01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:02,920 Speaker 1: have been corrupt. Did they really think that the Russians 1231 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:09,280 Speaker 1: are that skilled and diabolical that they're driving American political 1232 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:14,000 Speaker 1: conversation via Twitter and Facebook and some of these other platforms. 1233 01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:19,200 Speaker 1: And it's just completely and utterly insane. But that guy 1234 01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,240 Speaker 1: thinks he has a shot at the presidency. I mean, 1235 01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:25,080 Speaker 1: for him, it's probably this guy Tim Ryan. It was 1236 01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:32,120 Speaker 1: very unimpressive. He seems to me to obviously be somebody 1237 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:36,200 Speaker 1: who's just trying to get greater national name recognition for himself. 1238 01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,160 Speaker 1: But I think that's what's really at work for him. 1239 01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:42,519 Speaker 1: He can't be so well, he's delusional enough to think 1240 01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:44,720 Speaker 1: the Russians really affect us on social media, but I 1241 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:49,880 Speaker 1: think he can't be seriously considering that he's going to 1242 01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:54,400 Speaker 1: win the presidency. But here's somebody else who is gaining traction. 1243 01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:59,240 Speaker 1: And I've seen some stuff about how his recent rallies 1244 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:02,960 Speaker 1: have had troubled wrong people, which is not surprising me 1245 01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,599 Speaker 1: because I think it's kind of the same. It's he's 1246 01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:08,479 Speaker 1: kind of a one trick pony. Beto O'Rourke. I'm talking 1247 01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:11,000 Speaker 1: about it now. Maybe we should just call him Robert 1248 01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,800 Speaker 1: Robert O'Rourke. I mean, I guess, look, my middle name 1249 01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:15,720 Speaker 1: is Buckman and people call me Buck, So who am 1250 01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:19,559 Speaker 1: I really to? But I think that the choice of 1251 01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:23,280 Speaker 1: Betto is a little bit without getting too deep into it, 1252 01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think it's a calculated move here. 1253 01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that it's just that's what his family 1254 01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:31,160 Speaker 1: calls him, and so that's whatever and calls him. But anyway, 1255 01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:36,840 Speaker 1: back to this Beto o'rouric character. He was making the 1256 01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:42,320 Speaker 1: rounds over the weekend and said some wow, really really 1257 01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:47,479 Speaker 1: stupid stuff. Let's start with this one where apparently Betto 1258 01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:52,519 Speaker 1: thinks he understands Israeli politics. He thinks that he should 1259 01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:55,000 Speaker 1: weigh in on what's going on in the state of 1260 01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:58,760 Speaker 1: Israel and their political system. This is what results when 1261 01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,919 Speaker 1: he goes down that path. Play too. The US Israel 1262 01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:05,360 Speaker 1: relationship is one of the most important relationships that we 1263 01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:08,800 Speaker 1: have on the planet, and that relationship, if it is 1264 01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:12,479 Speaker 1: to be successful, must transcend partisanship in the United States, 1265 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:15,560 Speaker 1: and it must be able to transcend a Prime minister 1266 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:19,920 Speaker 1: who is racist as he warns about Arabs coming to 1267 01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:23,160 Speaker 1: the polls, who wants to defy any prospect for peace 1268 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:26,720 Speaker 1: as he threatens to annex the West Bank, and who 1269 01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,760 Speaker 1: has sided with a far right racist party in order 1270 01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,960 Speaker 1: to maintain his hold on power. Now, I don't think 1271 01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,639 Speaker 1: that Benjamin net and Yah, who represents the true will 1272 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,160 Speaker 1: of the Israeli people, or the best interests of the 1273 01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:41,920 Speaker 1: US Israel relationship, or any path to peace for the 1274 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,160 Speaker 1: people of the Palestinian Authority, the Gaza Strip and the 1275 01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:49,080 Speaker 1: state of Israel. Betto has no idea what the heck 1276 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:53,439 Speaker 1: he's talking about here, this notion that net and Yah 1277 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:56,240 Speaker 1: who does not represent the true will of the Israeli people. Okay, 1278 01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,440 Speaker 1: net Jah, who's won what is it, three four elections, 1279 01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:06,800 Speaker 1: he's been He's been the Prime Minister of Israel longer 1280 01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 1: than I think at this point anybody, although maybe Ben 1281 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 1: Gurion was prime minister a little longer. He's been in 1282 01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:17,800 Speaker 1: this role for over a decade. He's won multiple elections 1283 01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:21,599 Speaker 1: because of net and Yaho. And No, this matters because 1284 01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:22,840 Speaker 1: you have to look at what's going on in this 1285 01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:26,920 Speaker 1: country right now with our border and immigration policies. Because 1286 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:30,200 Speaker 1: net and Yah, who was supportive of the creation of 1287 01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:35,080 Speaker 1: the Israeli border wall, the Israeli border barrier. That country 1288 01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:42,320 Speaker 1: went from a state of constant terror threat and mass 1289 01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:46,639 Speaker 1: casualty attacks, suicide bombings and discos, suicide bombings at weddings 1290 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:52,280 Speaker 1: to a very very safe country, and no serious observer 1291 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,080 Speaker 1: could say that it is the result of anything other 1292 01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:58,400 Speaker 1: than or that there's any one factor that had a 1293 01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:04,479 Speaker 1: greater impact on it. Then the construction of the israel 1294 01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:08,599 Speaker 1: what they call the wall over there, the Israeli border wall, 1295 01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:12,080 Speaker 1: in some ways may have saved the state of Israel. 1296 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,240 Speaker 1: And it was one that the left and the lefties, 1297 01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:17,160 Speaker 1: whether in that country of this country, a lot of 1298 01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:21,320 Speaker 1: criticism about it. Oh, they're turning into an apartheid state, now, 1299 01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,800 Speaker 1: all these things you hear. Meanwhile, what really happened is 1300 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:31,800 Speaker 1: they just stopped suicide bombers and other terrorists tactics from 1301 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:36,760 Speaker 1: entering Israeli Israeli territory from getting into Israel proper. But 1302 01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:41,080 Speaker 1: now that's if you're betto, that's racists, apparently, if you're 1303 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:44,480 Speaker 1: betto stopping suicide bombers from going into a crowded discotheque 1304 01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:47,120 Speaker 1: and murdering and maiming lots of young people trying to 1305 01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:49,559 Speaker 1: have a nice night out. Who aren't doing anything to anybody, 1306 01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:53,960 Speaker 1: but that's racist. You see na Yah who's a racist 1307 01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,000 Speaker 1: because of that, and then he sided with a racist party. 1308 01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:59,479 Speaker 1: I would love to hear Beto try to explain the 1309 01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:01,960 Speaker 1: Israeli political system. That would be That would be hilarious. 1310 01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,400 Speaker 1: In fact, I bet if you asked, if you asked 1311 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:09,320 Speaker 1: off the cuff, what the Israeli parliament is called, I 1312 01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:13,400 Speaker 1: don't think he could tell you without someone passing a 1313 01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:15,479 Speaker 1: note into his hand at one of these little town halls. Yes, 1314 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,479 Speaker 1: I don't think he even knows. And if you're gonna 1315 01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:20,720 Speaker 1: wax philosophical about a foreign country's political system, I think 1316 01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:22,280 Speaker 1: you should probably have some idea of what the heck 1317 01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:24,640 Speaker 1: you're talking about. And to trash net and Yahoo in 1318 01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,000 Speaker 1: this way, it just shows that Beto he's just he's 1319 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:28,559 Speaker 1: just making it up as he goes along as all 1320 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:32,040 Speaker 1: because it sounds good and like you're kind of breathy 1321 01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:35,600 Speaker 1: and really earnest, Like then what you say has a 1322 01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:40,280 Speaker 1: lot of meaning and merit and it's like really good. Oh, 1323 01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:42,400 Speaker 1: since he's weighing on israel I, guess we also have 1324 01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:45,519 Speaker 1: to hear Beto talk about Oh thank you, Mike tells 1325 01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:47,960 Speaker 1: me he's won four elections, I said three or four. 1326 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:51,160 Speaker 1: It's his fourth prime ministership right now. So I, Mike, 1327 01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,120 Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty that's a pretty solid record 1328 01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:56,599 Speaker 1: in terms of the will of the Israeli people through 1329 01:19:56,680 --> 01:20:00,479 Speaker 1: their institutions of government. I'd say so. And yeah, I 1330 01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,879 Speaker 1: happen to have a couple of friends who are Jewish 1331 01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:07,000 Speaker 1: and are you know, live in Israel, and um the 1332 01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,120 Speaker 1: word I mean. They love him, They absolutely love and 1333 01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:13,320 Speaker 1: I think he presents the world of people there. Yeah. Well, 1334 01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm quite sure that the Israeli people are rather unified 1335 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:24,360 Speaker 1: on not letting suicide bombers into crowded restaurants, malls, wedding halls, 1336 01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:27,240 Speaker 1: bar Mitzvah's. You know, I'm quite sure the Israeli people 1337 01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 1: all agree on that, and not net and Yah who 1338 01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,519 Speaker 1: figured that out? Net and Yah who is the one 1339 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,320 Speaker 1: that put the policies in place to stop all that. Absolutely, 1340 01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:35,719 Speaker 1: But you can listen to the net and Yah who's 1341 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:39,439 Speaker 1: of the world. There's a former decorated veteran patriot too 1342 01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,680 Speaker 1: for the Israeli people, or you can listen to the 1343 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:45,040 Speaker 1: Beto or Rourkes of the world who say really stupid 1344 01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 1: stuff like this play clib one. That agreement um remarkably 1345 01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:54,439 Speaker 1: with the of the UN Security Council plus Germany coming 1346 01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:58,439 Speaker 1: together with the country of Iran to negotiation, otherwise thought 1347 01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:04,440 Speaker 1: to be intractable, almost a miracle of modern diplomacy, inherently imperfect. 1348 01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:09,080 Speaker 1: It didn't deal with Iran's ballistic missile capacity, to not 1349 01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 1: deal with Iran's sponsorship of Hepea, to not address the 1350 01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:16,800 Speaker 1: conflict and Yemen and Ron's support from Hookie rebels. It 1351 01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:21,520 Speaker 1: doesn't even begin to deal with what they're doing in Syria. However, 1352 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:25,640 Speaker 1: it demonstly makes the world, especially the Middle East, a 1353 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,920 Speaker 1: safer place. How it's talking about the Iran deal there. 1354 01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,839 Speaker 1: It makes the world safer place. How Iran is still 1355 01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:35,639 Speaker 1: the greatest state sponsor of terror in the world, still 1356 01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:41,160 Speaker 1: working on its ballistic missile technology and production, still has 1357 01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:46,840 Speaker 1: all of its nuclear facilities in place all the know. 1358 01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,160 Speaker 1: How as we end the thanks to the Israelities, we 1359 01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,639 Speaker 1: have some detail about that. How's it made the world 1360 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,800 Speaker 1: a safer place? So that Iran gets wealthier as a 1361 01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:59,720 Speaker 1: country and enmeshes itself in the international community in terms 1362 01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:03,280 Speaker 1: of its finances and commerce, so that it's harder to 1363 01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:05,760 Speaker 1: have a unified front to deal with Iran as soon 1364 01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:11,839 Speaker 1: as they decide to go nuclear. Betto is, in some ways, 1365 01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:17,840 Speaker 1: I still think a very serious Democrat candidate, despite him 1366 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:22,120 Speaker 1: being a deeply unserious person, despite that his idea, the 1367 01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:26,320 Speaker 1: fact that his ideas are flimsy at best, but expressed 1368 01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:30,160 Speaker 1: with this breathy, earnestness that we're supposed to take as 1369 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:35,240 Speaker 1: some kind of guarantee of Betto's statecraft. The Democrats are 1370 01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:38,960 Speaker 1: deeply unimpressive with the bench they've got right now running 1371 01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,280 Speaker 1: for president, and I think it's only going to get worse. 1372 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:48,680 Speaker 1: Here's a mental exercise to apply to the news in 1373 01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:52,320 Speaker 1: the Trump age. What would you think if this were 1374 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:56,240 Speaker 1: happening in some other country Right now? The news is 1375 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:59,839 Speaker 1: about a president who spends time demonizing immigrants and spreading 1376 01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:04,599 Speaker 1: information and accusing his opponents of treason. He's well known 1377 01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:07,920 Speaker 1: for lying about policies and polls and minority politicians and 1378 01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:12,120 Speaker 1: sometimes even the weather. He grants special access to people 1379 01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,840 Speaker 1: who pay money to enter his private clubs. There's a 1380 01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:17,880 Speaker 1: widespread acceptance of the fact that he likes TV shows 1381 01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:21,240 Speaker 1: more than his intelligence briefings, but only shows it fawn 1382 01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:25,040 Speaker 1: over him. He attacks other sources of news, calling them 1383 01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,920 Speaker 1: enemies of the people. Well, would it be like if 1384 01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:35,200 Speaker 1: Sevenday decidded to the test astro Fibrard t Batty tab 1385 01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:37,559 Speaker 1: and then put you out see it ahead and tell 1386 01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:42,080 Speaker 1: you that you have to Cantilly bash cheb and use 1387 01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:49,920 Speaker 1: all of your powers of nonsense to try it. I'm 1388 01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:55,080 Speaker 1: sad that Tucker beat me to nicknaming Stelter the CNN eunuch, 1389 01:23:55,640 --> 01:24:01,000 Speaker 1: because it's it's very app it's very it's very apropos there. 1390 01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:04,880 Speaker 1: You had Stelter doing what Stelter does, which is just 1391 01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:10,120 Speaker 1: relay a whole series of anti Trump talking points, which 1392 01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:12,200 Speaker 1: in so many cases I would just want it. I 1393 01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,599 Speaker 1: would want to challenge them on the merits. This notion 1394 01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:18,639 Speaker 1: of demonizing immigrants. We've talked about immigration a lot today 1395 01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,240 Speaker 1: on the show. I mean, no one demonizes immigrants. This 1396 01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 1: is not this is not what's going on. I mean 1397 01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:27,400 Speaker 1: when Trump talks about MS thirteen an, he's speaking about 1398 01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:31,839 Speaker 1: a very very violent gang with origins in Satanic worship 1399 01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:36,840 Speaker 1: that engages in the most horrific rape and mutilation and 1400 01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:41,080 Speaker 1: murder practices imaginable. And I think that having a president 1401 01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:44,639 Speaker 1: that finds that truly abhorrent and wants to fight against 1402 01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:47,679 Speaker 1: That is a refreshing thing instead of a president who's 1403 01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:49,760 Speaker 1: going to say, well, you know, maybe MS thirteen is 1404 01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:53,240 Speaker 1: just misunderstood. No, No, I don't want that they're misunderstood. 1405 01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:55,320 Speaker 1: I want a president. I want a commander in chief 1406 01:24:55,840 --> 01:25:00,519 Speaker 1: who views them as really a domestic organized crime threat 1407 01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:04,000 Speaker 1: that must be stamped out with all the tools of 1408 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:08,479 Speaker 1: law enforcement, whether state or federal government. That's what I want. 1409 01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:13,439 Speaker 1: But I've yet to hear the president demonizing immigrants. I 1410 01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:17,040 Speaker 1: don't hear where where this occurs. The people who say that, 1411 01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, Mexico is not sending us their best that 1412 01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:22,160 Speaker 1: they always point to that. First of all, that was 1413 01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:25,200 Speaker 1: one thing that he said among countless hours of talking 1414 01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:29,080 Speaker 1: about immigration. And if you look at this, I mean that, yeah, 1415 01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:33,519 Speaker 1: I mean, Mexico is not sending America their PhDs, and 1416 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,400 Speaker 1: they're you know, by the numbers. What we're getting are 1417 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:42,439 Speaker 1: generally people of very limited skills and education and little 1418 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,559 Speaker 1: to know English language skills who are coming here to 1419 01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,280 Speaker 1: do menial jobs in the short term. But as I've 1420 01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,400 Speaker 1: started to point out, and people go, oh, you're right, 1421 01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:54,040 Speaker 1: what happens to what happens to an illegal alien dishwasher. 1422 01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:57,880 Speaker 1: When he turns sixty five, he's gonna keep washing dishes? 1423 01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,519 Speaker 1: What do I want to turn seventy five? What about 1424 01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:06,280 Speaker 1: when he has serious medical conditions that prevent him legitimately 1425 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:09,280 Speaker 1: prevent him from working in old age? We all know 1426 01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:10,800 Speaker 1: what's going to happen, right, There's going to be a 1427 01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:12,400 Speaker 1: huge push, and it's not going to be one person. 1428 01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:15,160 Speaker 1: It's going to be millions of people, and there'll be 1429 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,280 Speaker 1: an enormous push with all of them, you know, the 1430 01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:22,120 Speaker 1: mainstream media behind it. For how if we are a 1431 01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:24,599 Speaker 1: good and just people, after all the work that that 1432 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:27,400 Speaker 1: person has done in this country all that time, remind you, 1433 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,680 Speaker 1: not filing taxes, working off the books and all that. 1434 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,200 Speaker 1: But after all of that illegality, we are going to 1435 01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:37,680 Speaker 1: be told that it is in a moral obligation on 1436 01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,840 Speaker 1: the American taxpayer to pick up the bill for all 1437 01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:43,479 Speaker 1: of that. That's what we're that's what we're heading for. 1438 01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:47,160 Speaker 1: That is where we are going as a society. And 1439 01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:49,880 Speaker 1: I would just note that, you know, property crimes are 1440 01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:52,040 Speaker 1: something that people get sent away to prison for on 1441 01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:55,439 Speaker 1: a regular basis. There are lots of folks who suffer 1442 01:26:56,160 --> 01:27:00,240 Speaker 1: very serious consequences for property crimes, including against the Stag eight, 1443 01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:03,040 Speaker 1: meaning you know you don't pay your taxes, well, the 1444 01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:06,040 Speaker 1: tax days coming up I've got. It's such a headache 1445 01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:07,559 Speaker 1: when I have to do my taxes, and it's a 1446 01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:13,400 Speaker 1: reminder of why I generally despise the federal government and 1447 01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:16,880 Speaker 1: the Leviathan out of the DC swamp. That doesn't mean 1448 01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:20,880 Speaker 1: in all things, but in many things, I find it untakable, 1449 01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:24,760 Speaker 1: very annoying, very gross. But you know, here I am 1450 01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:26,559 Speaker 1: being told that I have to comply with all these 1451 01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:32,799 Speaker 1: intricate rules on penalty of not just financial financial penalties, 1452 01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:36,880 Speaker 1: but also the very real possibility of criminal charges and 1453 01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:38,679 Speaker 1: losing my freedom if I were to just not comply 1454 01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 1: on that. But there's a different set of laws, a 1455 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,000 Speaker 1: different set of laws for immigrants, a different set of 1456 01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:49,360 Speaker 1: laws for Democrats too. As we see, that's something that 1457 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:54,280 Speaker 1: I can't help but feel a little I told you 1458 01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:56,519 Speaker 1: so is um with that, Not with you folks listening 1459 01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,360 Speaker 1: to the show, but to some of my conservative friends 1460 01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:02,000 Speaker 1: who have pushed back for years on what I've been 1461 01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:07,840 Speaker 1: saying about how there's a two tiered justice system and 1462 01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:11,160 Speaker 1: if you are a leftist with connections or a protected 1463 01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:14,280 Speaker 1: person whatever, that means to the left, you can expect 1464 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:17,599 Speaker 1: a very different interaction with the criminal justice system than 1465 01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,839 Speaker 1: if you are on the right. And there's some political 1466 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:24,800 Speaker 1: sensitivity to it. Political sensitivity, you know. Yeah, rich people, 1467 01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:27,719 Speaker 1: people who can pay for good lawyers, they they maybe 1468 01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:29,720 Speaker 1: get better outcomes than the justice system. The people who 1469 01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,799 Speaker 1: aren't rich and connected. But when there's a political issue, 1470 01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:39,679 Speaker 1: conservative or right wing political sympathies are if anything, they're 1471 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,439 Speaker 1: never a help in the justice system, and they're often 1472 01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:47,400 Speaker 1: a major stumbling block for you. They're they're often a 1473 01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:51,439 Speaker 1: point of vulnerability. You're likely to get even worse treatment 1474 01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:56,200 Speaker 1: because of your conservative credentials. But this is Stelter to 1475 01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:58,679 Speaker 1: take us back to the bad stet there's a shot 1476 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:01,880 Speaker 1: c right, just test. I have a media budsmen. I 1477 01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,200 Speaker 1: tell the media with their lag and when they're that nag. 1478 01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:08,000 Speaker 1: And this guy's an anti Trump partisan. The fact that 1479 01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,000 Speaker 1: he has a show at CNN is preposterous, but he 1480 01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:12,519 Speaker 1: does because there's no rhyme or reason. I mean a 1481 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,960 Speaker 1: lot of these TV executives they make decisions that if 1482 01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:20,000 Speaker 1: they were judged by the rightness or wrongness of a decision, 1483 01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:23,320 Speaker 1: it would be obvious that there are people who should 1484 01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,880 Speaker 1: replace them, but that doesn't tend to happen. You just 1485 01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:28,960 Speaker 1: get bad shows get replaced with other shows, and no 1486 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:32,240 Speaker 1: one really cares because the institution overall just keeps going. 1487 01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:37,840 Speaker 1: But Stelter is a guy who tries to hold up 1488 01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:41,519 Speaker 1: himself or hold himself up as a journalist. Still over 1489 01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:44,960 Speaker 1: at CNN, I am I'm kind of astonished by that. 1490 01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,439 Speaker 1: At CNN is still going to this and the anti 1491 01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:51,360 Speaker 1: Trump greatest hits that he's pulling out here. You're seeing 1492 01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:53,160 Speaker 1: this from a lot of people. But the anti Trump 1493 01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:57,080 Speaker 1: left is now going to turn themselves into not the 1494 01:29:57,160 --> 01:30:01,800 Speaker 1: Russia collusion maniacs that they've been, but people that just 1495 01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,360 Speaker 1: always look for an opportunity to wag a finger at 1496 01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:07,280 Speaker 1: President Trump and tell him how bad he is and 1497 01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:11,280 Speaker 1: how uncouth he is and all this other stuff. They 1498 01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:13,439 Speaker 1: don't get tired of it. Unfortunately, their audience just eats 1499 01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:16,160 Speaker 1: it up. So even if Selter's like, hey, why did 1500 01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:18,439 Speaker 1: you do this? It's so terrible. Trump is so awful, 1501 01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:21,439 Speaker 1: it's so rude, it's so bad, a lot of people 1502 01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:23,479 Speaker 1: will listen to that. A lot of people, well not 1503 01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:26,280 Speaker 1: a lot, but CNN's audience will it. Never they never 1504 01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:31,839 Speaker 1: grew tired of it. I believe that this has sparked 1505 01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:34,200 Speaker 1: a reason for us to have a conversation about where 1506 01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:38,439 Speaker 1: we really stand on criminal justice reform, what we really 1507 01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:40,679 Speaker 1: believe when we talk about the rhetoric of a broken 1508 01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,599 Speaker 1: system and fixing it, it means that you have to 1509 01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:46,599 Speaker 1: have fidelity to that. And the efforts that I've had 1510 01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:50,000 Speaker 1: on criminal justice reform that were once celebrated by many 1511 01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:53,080 Speaker 1: in this county that are now being attacked because of 1512 01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:57,439 Speaker 1: one case and one celebrity. I think we have to 1513 01:30:57,479 --> 01:31:03,040 Speaker 1: ask ourselves what is this really about? I've been asking 1514 01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:05,639 Speaker 1: myself for the last two weeks what is this really about? 1515 01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:08,800 Speaker 1: And as someone who has lived in this city, who 1516 01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:11,160 Speaker 1: came up from the projects of this city to serve 1517 01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:15,200 Speaker 1: as the first African American woman in this role, it 1518 01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:18,639 Speaker 1: is disheartening to me that when we get in these 1519 01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:25,639 Speaker 1: positions to somehow goals post change. You gotta be kidding me, right. 1520 01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:32,559 Speaker 1: That is Kim Fox, who is the woman who made 1521 01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:37,760 Speaker 1: the obvious decision, or rather the decision obviously driven by 1522 01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:43,080 Speaker 1: connections and politics and favored status of Jesse Smollett as 1523 01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:50,040 Speaker 1: a famous aggrieved minority that he would escape without any 1524 01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:53,800 Speaker 1: consequence whatsoever, for costing the City of Chicago one hundred 1525 01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:58,599 Speaker 1: and twenty thousand dollars in investigation fees, for smearing Trump 1526 01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:02,479 Speaker 1: supporters across the country, for lying and lying and lying 1527 01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:07,800 Speaker 1: again to authorities, for using the mail to perpetuate a 1528 01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:11,679 Speaker 1: racial fraud or racial hoax. And he should escape as 1529 01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:16,000 Speaker 1: far as Kim Fox is concerned, not only with zero consequences, 1530 01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:18,880 Speaker 1: which is what is horrible enough on its own, but 1531 01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:22,639 Speaker 1: as you know, she lets Smolette put himself out there 1532 01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:28,040 Speaker 1: after she just wiped this whole thing away and let it, 1533 01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,080 Speaker 1: let it be so that he was able to say 1534 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:33,439 Speaker 1: that he was innocent. So he will it's not even 1535 01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:36,639 Speaker 1: an admission of guilt that she was able to get 1536 01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:38,479 Speaker 1: or that she wanted to get out of him. He 1537 01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:41,240 Speaker 1: now goes around still pretending like he didn't do anything wrong, 1538 01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:45,280 Speaker 1: and he's and what's what's really amazing is that people 1539 01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:51,240 Speaker 1: will believe him. People will believe him. This is from 1540 01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:55,200 Speaker 1: National Review. Then there's an assistant State's attorney who attacked 1541 01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,479 Speaker 1: Fox and her allies for casting criticism of the decision 1542 01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,280 Speaker 1: as racist. This is a letter that has been set out. 1543 01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:04,640 Speaker 1: This is what it says from an assistant state attorney 1544 01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:08,400 Speaker 1: that has kept his name anonymous. Fast forward to twenty nineteen, 1545 01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:14,080 Speaker 1: the States Attorney's Office is an international laughing stock as politicians, comedians, scholars, 1546 01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:17,680 Speaker 1: legal pundits, and regular old citizens alike blasts handling of 1547 01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:21,479 Speaker 1: the case against Jesse Smollett. Their criticism is pointed squarely 1548 01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:25,200 Speaker 1: at Kim Fox, the first African American female elected to 1549 01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:29,479 Speaker 1: fill the prestigious role of Cook County States Attorney. In 1550 01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:32,439 Speaker 1: the wake of said criticism, Miss Fox speaks at a 1551 01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:36,320 Speaker 1: Rainbow Push coalition meeting and states she cannot run an 1552 01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:39,800 Speaker 1: office driven by anger and public sentiment. She says, the 1553 01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:42,559 Speaker 1: goal post change when an African American takes the position 1554 01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:46,320 Speaker 1: of head prosecutor, seemingly calling the critique of the State 1555 01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:49,000 Speaker 1: Attorney's office handling of the Slet case racially based and 1556 01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:55,080 Speaker 1: derogatory toward her people. This is so disgusting and intellectually dishonest, 1557 01:33:55,200 --> 01:34:00,360 Speaker 1: and such a case of whiny victimology at play that 1558 01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:03,639 Speaker 1: this woman who wields obviously a lot of power when 1559 01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:11,200 Speaker 1: she's caught being terribly unethical and unfair and showing favoritism 1560 01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:15,639 Speaker 1: in the application of felony criminal law because somebody happens 1561 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:20,679 Speaker 1: to be famous, black and gay. She shows that favorite 1562 01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:23,960 Speaker 1: status and then claims that it is because she is 1563 01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,519 Speaker 1: black that this is being criticized. Now, let me just 1564 01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:31,160 Speaker 1: be very clear, it does not matter who is in 1565 01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:33,720 Speaker 1: the role of Kim Fox here. It doesn't matter what 1566 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:36,760 Speaker 1: race that person is or would be, what gender, what 1567 01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:42,639 Speaker 1: anything else. There is absolutely no justification for what she did, 1568 01:34:43,479 --> 01:34:46,559 Speaker 1: and no person in that role who took those same 1569 01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:52,040 Speaker 1: actions would come on any less withering criticism. And it's 1570 01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:54,560 Speaker 1: a slap in the face to anyone paying attention and 1571 01:34:54,640 --> 01:35:00,840 Speaker 1: listening that she would even suggest that there's a racist 1572 01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:06,679 Speaker 1: backdrop to the criticism of what is an inexplicable decision 1573 01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:08,320 Speaker 1: from her from the perspective of law. I mean, we 1574 01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:10,840 Speaker 1: all know what the explanation for it really is. Jesse 1575 01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:17,320 Speaker 1: Smollett is tied to very powerful people in Chicago Democrat circles, 1576 01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:21,719 Speaker 1: has ties to the Obama administration, and he's a famous gay, 1577 01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:25,720 Speaker 1: black actor, and Kim Fox just didn't want him to 1578 01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:28,680 Speaker 1: get prosecuted. That's it, not because of what he did. 1579 01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:33,160 Speaker 1: What he did was clearly illegal. He's obviously violated numerous statutes, 1580 01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:36,680 Speaker 1: did so repeatedly and willfully, but he just gets a 1581 01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:39,400 Speaker 1: pass because of who he is. This is one of 1582 01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:42,080 Speaker 1: those moments where we have to take a step back 1583 01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:45,479 Speaker 1: and say, if this doesn't undermine our faith in the 1584 01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:47,639 Speaker 1: rule of law, if people in the city of Chicago 1585 01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:51,879 Speaker 1: don't feel like after this justice is quite the opposite 1586 01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:54,320 Speaker 1: of blind, then I don't know what it would take. 1587 01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:58,320 Speaker 1: Because it is very clear to me that when you 1588 01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:05,240 Speaker 1: have decisions that are so unbelievably obvious like this in 1589 01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:08,519 Speaker 1: terms of the politics and the way that people are 1590 01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:13,920 Speaker 1: shaping this and interacting with this case, taking decision making 1591 01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:17,679 Speaker 1: decisions on this case to shape their polity or to 1592 01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,800 Speaker 1: be dictated by their political proclivities, that's just too much. 1593 01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,799 Speaker 1: It's it's a disgrace what she's done. It's not racial 1594 01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:28,600 Speaker 1: at all. It's the criticism is not racist. That's all nonsense. 1595 01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:32,320 Speaker 1: This woman should step down or be removed from office. 1596 01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:38,559 Speaker 1: Ain't no party like a Team Buck party, because a 1597 01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:48,240 Speaker 1: Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got Buck turned 1598 01:36:48,280 --> 01:37:05,479 Speaker 1: up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Indeed, roll 1599 01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:10,519 Speaker 1: call time, Facebook dot com, slash Buck Sexton if you 1600 01:37:10,680 --> 01:37:14,240 Speaker 1: would like to get in on the roll call action, 1601 01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:16,880 Speaker 1: very easy to send me a message there, and there's 1602 01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:19,519 Speaker 1: a decent chance that it will pop up here on 1603 01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:23,840 Speaker 1: the show. All right, let's get to it. Jeremy writes Buck, 1604 01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:27,160 Speaker 1: I completely agree with you on The Powerbroker. I picked 1605 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,280 Speaker 1: it up a few years ago as it is constantly 1606 01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:33,599 Speaker 1: referenced by intellectuals to be great. After about four hundred pages, 1607 01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:36,200 Speaker 1: I had to set it down. It is brutal. I 1608 01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:37,960 Speaker 1: think the only reason I got that far is that 1609 01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:40,639 Speaker 1: I'm a civil engineer and can appreciate the city planning 1610 01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:43,800 Speaker 1: aspects in the book. Any average Joe who claims to 1611 01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,400 Speaker 1: have read this is lying and just trying to pound 1612 01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 1: their intellectual chest. Yeah, man, I think it is. It 1613 01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:54,320 Speaker 1: is one of those books that people constantly say they've 1614 01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:57,439 Speaker 1: read and they have not read it. People have not 1615 01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:00,160 Speaker 1: read that book. It's like Citizen Kane, a movie that 1616 01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:01,880 Speaker 1: we're all supposed to like so much. I try to 1617 01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:03,880 Speaker 1: watch the first fifteen minutes and I'm like, I'm not 1618 01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:06,439 Speaker 1: going to make it through this, So I tell you 1619 01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:08,760 Speaker 1: that I didn't watch it. I don't pretend to have 1620 01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:13,720 Speaker 1: watched it. Rolls, Bud, See, I know the reference is. 1621 01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:16,040 Speaker 1: I just don't know really what they mean or how 1622 01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:20,920 Speaker 1: they happen. In the movie Adam on the Waterbed it 1623 01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:24,280 Speaker 1: takes an adjustment period, helps with back issues, and even 1624 01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:26,960 Speaker 1: the heat from the bed kept me asleep longer. However, 1625 01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:28,640 Speaker 1: if you're going to spend that much, I would get 1626 01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:32,360 Speaker 1: a sleep Number bed for the adjustable firmness shields high. Adam, 1627 01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:37,439 Speaker 1: thank you for the very kind assessment of the water bed. 1628 01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:39,880 Speaker 1: I'm actually not in the market for a water bed 1629 01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:41,760 Speaker 1: or a new bed of any kind right now, but 1630 01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:46,839 Speaker 1: if that comes up, I'll certainly take it under invisement 1631 01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,759 Speaker 1: that you say that the waterbed can be good for 1632 01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:55,840 Speaker 1: the back. Jerry, send me some photos of Joe Biden 1633 01:38:55,920 --> 01:39:01,240 Speaker 1: grobbing people. Thank you, Jerry Thomas Buck. The ongoing fascination 1634 01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:06,240 Speaker 1: with Representative Occasio Cortez seems to be that her dormitory 1635 01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:11,160 Speaker 1: conversation and failure to be coherent has become popular with 1636 01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:14,599 Speaker 1: the college crowd, who apparently are as incompetent and ignorant 1637 01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:17,320 Speaker 1: of the facts as she is. Ha Her appeal seems 1638 01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:22,160 Speaker 1: to be that normally associated with a prodigy child, infatuation 1639 01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:26,240 Speaker 1: coupled with excitement of unexpected revelations. The only thing that 1640 01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:29,360 Speaker 1: perpetuates this mystique is the fact that every time she speaks, 1641 01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:32,880 Speaker 1: she sounds like a twelve year old she last beyond 1642 01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:35,160 Speaker 1: this election term. It will be a shock to everyone. 1643 01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:37,920 Speaker 1: In the meantime, she serves as great cover for an 1644 01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:40,679 Speaker 1: obstinate progressive socialist party that has refused to do anything 1645 01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:43,360 Speaker 1: meaningful in their first one hundred days of Congress. Keep 1646 01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:46,719 Speaker 1: doing a great job. Your Valley grown personation is very funny. 1647 01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:52,600 Speaker 1: Shields High. Well, there you go. Thank you Thomas for 1648 01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:57,479 Speaker 1: writing and I appreciate it. Bryce. This got me thinking 1649 01:39:57,520 --> 01:40:02,200 Speaker 1: about other ways that wind farms could cause cancer. Huh. 1650 01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:05,760 Speaker 1: The blades are made of carbon fiber composits. The manufacturing 1651 01:40:05,800 --> 01:40:09,400 Speaker 1: process is filled with cancer causing chemicals. It has been 1652 01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:11,599 Speaker 1: a difficult task for the aircraft industry to figure out 1653 01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:14,599 Speaker 1: how to protect workers. The same issues must surely affect 1654 01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:19,960 Speaker 1: the workers who make the wind turbine blades. I've never 1655 01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:24,800 Speaker 1: heard anything about any of this sprice, so thank you 1656 01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:27,880 Speaker 1: for sending this to me. I'll have to look a 1657 01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:34,519 Speaker 1: bit more at what you're talking about. That sounds weird though, Michael, Oh, 1658 01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:37,760 Speaker 1: hold on, Heather, right, hey, Buck love your show. A 1659 01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:41,439 Speaker 1: few super quick opinions. Well, thank you Heather for sharing 1660 01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:45,479 Speaker 1: the opinions. Number one A very big yes to the beard. 1661 01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:49,479 Speaker 1: Don't ever shave again. Cool, Thanks Heather, appreciate the beard's 1662 01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:51,880 Speaker 1: come in nicely. Now. You know, some people didn't have 1663 01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:55,920 Speaker 1: patience with the beard. They said, oh, it's patchy. You 1664 01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:58,719 Speaker 1: know it's not. You gotta give a little time before 1665 01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:00,320 Speaker 1: you can really determine whether or not the beard is 1666 01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:02,000 Speaker 1: a good move. I'm glad you'd like it, Heather, Thank you. 1667 01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:07,280 Speaker 1: And number two, I agree about Bruce Springsteen. Thumbs down 1668 01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:11,320 Speaker 1: for him. Indeed, thumbs down. Number three. I would love 1669 01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:14,320 Speaker 1: some shorter segments to share with others. Ten minutes. For example. 1670 01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:16,240 Speaker 1: I have a friend who could really benefit from listening 1671 01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:18,679 Speaker 1: to you. But there's no way to listen for three 1672 01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:21,120 Speaker 1: hours unless you talk about sports the whole time. So 1673 01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:22,920 Speaker 1: if you're serious but looking into that, you might gain 1674 01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:26,520 Speaker 1: some followers from people who start listening with the shorter 1675 01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:28,439 Speaker 1: segments and then move to listen to the whole show. 1676 01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:31,439 Speaker 1: Thank you, Shields, Hi, thank you, Heather. And I like 1677 01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:33,840 Speaker 1: that idea, and I'm talking to producer Mike about it, 1678 01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:35,559 Speaker 1: and we'll see how we can make that happen. It's 1679 01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:38,320 Speaker 1: a question of where they would go and are they 1680 01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:41,600 Speaker 1: you know that? How do we put them on platforms 1681 01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:43,760 Speaker 1: where there's see The problem is if you put small 1682 01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:47,280 Speaker 1: segments up with the main show, then people might get 1683 01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:50,920 Speaker 1: confused and only download the small segment, or it can 1684 01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:56,880 Speaker 1: kind of discombobulate the brand a bit. I think that's 1685 01:41:56,880 --> 01:42:00,960 Speaker 1: the right word to use there. Kyle right Buck. On Friday, 1686 01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:04,840 Speaker 1: you mentioned progressives acting like they care more about certain 1687 01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:07,599 Speaker 1: groups such as the poor, than conservatives do. I think 1688 01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:10,519 Speaker 1: that relates to their overall ignorance of how conservatives think. 1689 01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:15,120 Speaker 1: Frederick Bastia figured out in eighteen fifty in part he wrote, socialism, 1690 01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:18,320 Speaker 1: like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the 1691 01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:21,880 Speaker 1: distinction between government and society. As a result of this, 1692 01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:24,439 Speaker 1: every time we object to a thing being done by government, 1693 01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:27,000 Speaker 1: the socialists conclude that we object to its being done 1694 01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,599 Speaker 1: at all. It is if the socialists were to accuse 1695 01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:32,760 Speaker 1: us of not wanting persons to eat because we do 1696 01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:35,479 Speaker 1: not want the state to raise grain. If you don't 1697 01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:39,000 Speaker 1: support free college, you want people to be stupid. If 1698 01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:41,840 Speaker 1: you don't support single payer, you want people to die 1699 01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:43,840 Speaker 1: from lack of healthcare. If you don't support the Green 1700 01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:47,240 Speaker 1: New Deal, you want the planet to be destroyed. It's 1701 01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:50,800 Speaker 1: the same malarchy as one hundred and seventy years ago, Kylee. 1702 01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:53,360 Speaker 1: It does raise a very important point here, which is 1703 01:42:53,960 --> 01:42:58,679 Speaker 1: that the government doing something does objection to the government 1704 01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:01,719 Speaker 1: doing something does not equate with objection to anyone doing 1705 01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:07,479 Speaker 1: it or and when providing a certain service or taking 1706 01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:10,120 Speaker 1: an action. But that is the way the left views 1707 01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:13,639 Speaker 1: that they view the state as. Really the ultimate goal 1708 01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:17,759 Speaker 1: of human life is creating a utopia through the means 1709 01:43:17,920 --> 01:43:22,040 Speaker 1: or the mechanism of a state, and the state therefore 1710 01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:24,800 Speaker 1: also will have absolute control. This is how you get 1711 01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:28,800 Speaker 1: the state in place of God and so on and 1712 01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:35,360 Speaker 1: so forth. With the cultural Marxists, the secular leftist types, 1713 01:43:35,479 --> 01:43:41,599 Speaker 1: that's that's what they tend to do. Brad, she's your 1714 01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:44,679 Speaker 1: Well Watching story. Sounds like it was almost more traumatic 1715 01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:47,479 Speaker 1: to watch than the opening of ghost Ship. Brad. It 1716 01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:50,040 Speaker 1: was rough man well watching. When you're in a boat 1717 01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:54,800 Speaker 1: full of fourteen fifteen year old classmates and all you 1718 01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:57,000 Speaker 1: all you're doing is tossing side to side and tossing 1719 01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:59,720 Speaker 1: your cookies on the floor, it's not fun, man, not 1720 01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:02,840 Speaker 1: on will watching. I find very disappointing. If they were, 1721 01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:05,200 Speaker 1: if the whales were breaching all over the place and 1722 01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,200 Speaker 1: doing all that cool stuff, that's not what happens. Those 1723 01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:09,600 Speaker 1: of you who've done this know what I mean. You 1724 01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:12,759 Speaker 1: see it looks like a bunch of black trash bags 1725 01:44:12,760 --> 01:44:14,400 Speaker 1: floating to the surface for a second, and then they 1726 01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:17,320 Speaker 1: go back under. It's really not when people, you know, 1727 01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:20,320 Speaker 1: it's not like watching one of these nature shows where 1728 01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:22,240 Speaker 1: you see the humpbacks flying out of the water and 1729 01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:24,599 Speaker 1: it's amazing and no, no, that's not how it goes, 1730 01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:29,559 Speaker 1: Richard Buck. Someone suggested that you break down your shows 1731 01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:33,120 Speaker 1: in a short topics to be shared on social media. 1732 01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:35,280 Speaker 1: I've been thinking of this a lot. Whenever you're delivering 1733 01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:38,000 Speaker 1: an excellent monologue of some important topic, what you could 1734 01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:39,639 Speaker 1: do is set up a YouTube channel and put out 1735 01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:42,720 Speaker 1: your brilliant snippets in a video. Just add your podcast 1736 01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:44,439 Speaker 1: picture as well. There are people who do the same 1737 01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:49,280 Speaker 1: thing with Limball. I like that idea, Richard. That is 1738 01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:53,200 Speaker 1: a good idea, and let me think about how we 1739 01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:55,439 Speaker 1: could do that. That actually makes sense to me. That 1740 01:44:55,880 --> 01:44:59,720 Speaker 1: seems like something that would work. So thank you for 1741 01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:04,920 Speaker 1: these suggestion. My friend and is very astute. Rick write 1742 01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:09,000 Speaker 1: something that I can't read on air about RBG Kevin. 1743 01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:13,400 Speaker 1: Hey Buck, I love the show. I'm an iHeartRadio listener, 1744 01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:15,519 Speaker 1: and I listen every night. I was just hoping to 1745 01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:18,719 Speaker 1: get your opinion on Trump's saying that windmill noise causes cancer. 1746 01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:21,360 Speaker 1: Watching the video, it seems like he's making a joke 1747 01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:23,800 Speaker 1: because the audience seems to be laughing along with him. 1748 01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:25,760 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the news about it is 1749 01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:27,800 Speaker 1: that left is trying to cling to any opportunity to 1750 01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:30,600 Speaker 1: make him look incompetent. I keep seeing news articles and 1751 01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:33,400 Speaker 1: memes mocking him for it, just like the Kofefe incident. 1752 01:45:33,439 --> 01:45:39,599 Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Kevin, That is all absolutely the point about 1753 01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:42,000 Speaker 1: the media looking for any excuse to just bash Trump. 1754 01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:45,720 Speaker 1: It's absolutely the case. That is definitely true, and I 1755 01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:49,479 Speaker 1: would just say that I don't know. I haven't seen 1756 01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:52,040 Speaker 1: this video of Trump talking about the noise and the cancer, 1757 01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:53,599 Speaker 1: so I have to look into that a little bit. 1758 01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:57,760 Speaker 1: But I appreciate you writing in on this one. And yes, 1759 01:45:57,840 --> 01:45:59,759 Speaker 1: for sure, the media wants to do everything they can, 1760 01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:02,040 Speaker 1: in every way they can to make Trump look as 1761 01:46:02,120 --> 01:46:05,040 Speaker 1: dumb as they can. That is the goal, that is 1762 01:46:05,080 --> 01:46:10,679 Speaker 1: the point, that's what they like to do. Daniel Hey Buck, 1763 01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:13,440 Speaker 1: I've been listening to your show. I'm a Cuban refugee 1764 01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:15,479 Speaker 1: and I wonder if the Cuban government is somehow behind 1765 01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:18,520 Speaker 1: some of the caravans coming from South and Central America. 1766 01:46:18,640 --> 01:46:21,519 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they are. The Cubans always 1767 01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:23,880 Speaker 1: run away from the communist government and the USA always 1768 01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:25,799 Speaker 1: helps us, so I think they just want to overload 1769 01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:29,479 Speaker 1: the system. Thanks good show, well, Daniel. It was really 1770 01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:32,479 Speaker 1: noteworthy to me when, at first of all, thank you 1771 01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:34,120 Speaker 1: so much for writing in for listening to the show. 1772 01:46:34,520 --> 01:46:35,920 Speaker 1: It was notable to me that when I was down 1773 01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:38,960 Speaker 1: in El Paso at the border, I did see two 1774 01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:44,960 Speaker 1: male adult Cuban nationals get arrested trying to make a 1775 01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:47,800 Speaker 1: run across the US Mexico border. Now that was only 1776 01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:50,600 Speaker 1: a couple of guys, but that just stuck out to 1777 01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:52,040 Speaker 1: me for a number of reasons. One is that the 1778 01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:55,120 Speaker 1: word of what to say for credible fear and all 1779 01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:57,920 Speaker 1: that has certainly spread far and wide, not just into 1780 01:46:57,960 --> 01:47:00,559 Speaker 1: Mexico and Central America, but now even into the Caribbean 1781 01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:04,479 Speaker 1: and to South America. And as to whether the Cubans 1782 01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:09,360 Speaker 1: would Cuban government would engage in that kind of behavior, yes, 1783 01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:14,439 Speaker 1: the Cuban government would, I think, very very happily. So 1784 01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:17,880 Speaker 1: they are always looking for ways to undermine the US 1785 01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:20,040 Speaker 1: and cause greater problems for US. That wouldn't surprise me 1786 01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:22,679 Speaker 1: at all, but I can't prove it. It just would 1787 01:47:22,720 --> 01:47:26,679 Speaker 1: make sense to me. Here we go. That's that's gonna 1788 01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:29,799 Speaker 1: be it. Folks. Thank you so much for writing in today. 1789 01:47:30,240 --> 01:47:32,519 Speaker 1: Great to talk to you as always, and I'm excited 1790 01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:34,880 Speaker 1: for our show tomorrow and every day this week.
