Speaker 1: a great American Again. The buck Sexton Show begins the

11
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: sect No. I think you're going to see an incredible

12
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: speech by the President of visionary speech. The theme of

13
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: this year's State of the Union is choosing greatness. The

14
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: President's going to lay out some of the great successes

15
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: that we've had over the last two years and paint

16
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: a picture of what we can do for this country

17
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: if we come together, if we work together over the

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: next two years. The President is one percent committed and

19
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: focused on getting real support security, protecting American citizens. We've

20
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: got to stop the cartels, the coyotes, and the human

21
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: trafficking at our southern border, and the President's going to

22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to make sure he fulfills his

23
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: duty to protect this country. To every Republican, if you

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: don't stand behind this president, we're not going to stand

25
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: behind you when it comes to the wall. This is

26
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: the defining moment of his presidency. Welcome to the Buck

27
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: Saxon Show, everybody. It's quite a night ear in DC.

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: It's like the political super Bowl of sorts. I guess, well,

29
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: that would probably be the election, but it's then a

30
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: really good Monday night football game, even though it's a Tuesday.

31
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. People are all very excited,

32
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: at least in this town. I don't think the rest

33
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: of the country cares, or at least much of the

34
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: rest of the country does not care about the State

35
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: of the Union address. But no, I get it. Be

36
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: an opportunity for the president to address the American people

37
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: and lay out what he's going to try to do

38
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: and what his vision for this country is going forward.

39
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: And then the Democrats are all going to start spinning

40
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: it and say that, you know, Russia and impeachment and crazy,

41
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. But we know that's going to happen. I

42
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: wanted to give you my my quick sense of the

43
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: state of the Union as the president approaches this with

44
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: a forty eight percent approval rating, which is pretty good.

45
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: I see this ear on drudgepoort forty eight percent approval rating,

46
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: and you know, he's managed to, I think, under any

47
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: realistic view of the obstacles put in his place, and

48
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: I really mean obstacles put in his place. I mean,

49
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of presidents have challenges and issues,

50
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: not a lot of presidents have an opposition that is

51
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: willing to completely lose their minds and run while with

52
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: a special counsel, witch hunt and convince a lot of

53
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: unfortunately very naive and easily brainwashed of our fellow Americans

54
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: that there's a a Kremlin plot of foot. You know

55
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: all this stuff. You know that this is a president

56
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: who has faced particularly high ups, a media that is

57
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: psychotically opposed to him. I mean, they've they've made clowns

58
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: of themselves opposing this president. And I don't say criticizing, opposing.

59
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: They are activists working against the President of the United States,

60
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: and he just keeps on coming. You know, they cannot

61
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: stop him. There are some things about this president that

62
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: I think are you know that are not my cup

63
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: of tea. I'm not gonna lie to you. Some things

64
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: are not my cup of tea. I've told you what

65
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: some of them are. You know. I think that he

66
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: sometimes punches down in a way that he doesn't have to.

67
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: But sometimes it's amusing. But there's also some other stuff

68
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: about this president that I think is accurately described as

69
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: awe inspire. It his ability to go off prompter and

70
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: to exude energy in a crowd of fifteen twenty thousand people.

71
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: I do a fair amount of live performance. I do

72
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: a lot of talking. Obviously, you guys listen to me talk.

73
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for that. By the way, I'm honored.

74
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: What he does is incredible. I mean, the energy that

75
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: he puts out there, and for a man of his age,

76
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: I mean he's not that old, but you know what

77
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the energy that he puts out there is astounding.

78
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: But also his resilience in the face of just withering opposition.

79
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, people hate this president. And as I sit

80
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: here talking to you, you know, you go down a

81
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: listing of what is true right now about this country.

82
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: You know, what are the facts that we can point to.

83
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: You've got a four percent national unemployment rate. You've got

84
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: a at least for now, it seems stabilizing and still

85
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: very high stock market. You have job growth rising last

86
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: month double what they expected in job so all these

87
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: indicators of a strong economy. And as we know, the

88
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: economy is of course the number one issue on the

89
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 1: minds of most Americans. You've got a strong economy, job growth,

90
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: low unemploy him in, no big problems with inflation, and

91
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: none of these, you know, monstrous economic problems that we

92
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: could discuss and talk about and get to you know,

93
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: none of that is happening right now. And we weren't

94
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: told that Trump would be a mediocre president, and I

95
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: would argue that he's been actually much better. By the number,

96
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: is much better than a mediocre president. He's much better

97
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: on economics than Obama. And let's just be serious. He

98
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: just is much more pro growth, much more pro business

99
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: and innovation and capitalism that Obama was. And that has

100
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: been bearing fruit for many, many people around the country

101
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: and really with it the whole country, because even if

102
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: you're not somebody that benefits from the corporate tax cut,

103
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: you maybe somebody who benefits were having a job because

104
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: of the corporate tax cut, you know, because of the

105
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: friendly business climate and the small businesses that feel like

106
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: they don't have the thumb or the foot of regulation

107
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: on their neck anymore. You may benefit from getting that

108
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: job or getting that raise, or having more hours. You know.

109
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: So the president has in all these things. But you

110
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: have to gauge this against what the expectations were that

111
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: were set for this president. We were told starting off

112
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: because they never thought it would be real, right, they

113
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: never thought it was going to happen. And from election

114
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: night on, we were told that he was going to

115
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: destroy the stock market, that he was going to destroy

116
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: the economy, that he would that we would have, you know,

117
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: spikes and unemployment, and the international trade agreements would come

118
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: to a screeching halt, that we'd be in a trade

119
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: war with China that would bring us to our knees,

120
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: that we'd get into a nuclear exchange with North Korea.

121
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you listen to the fear mongering around

122
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: this president and then you compare it to what has

123
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: actually happened under this president, you will never want to

124
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: listen to the media ever again, or at least the

125
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: so called nonpartisan media. You'll never want to listen to

126
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 1: them again. They have been wrong and wrong and wrong.

127
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: And one trend that I think you see is that

128
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: they get more angry at this president the longer he

129
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: defies there not just expectations, but their predictions. The more

130
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: this president succeeds, the angrier they get. They don't care

131
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: that the more this president succeeds, the better off the

132
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: American people overall are. This is about the egos involved,

133
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: and the power and the careers and the ideology of

134
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: those who are Democrats and Republicans who oppose this president.

135
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean never Trump in the last month, the never

136
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: Trump contingent, which really just exists in the media. I

137
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: mean I never come across people in normal life we're look, yeah,

138
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm a hardcore Reagan voting Republican, but I hate Trump.

139
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they don't exist, but very few. In

140
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: the media, though, there's this little industry of I'm so

141
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm so Republican as a never Trumper that I want

142
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: Democrats to win because then we can be a real

143
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: Republican party again. Huh oh. Yeah, that's a thing. You

144
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: can find it if you look around on social media,

145
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: though Twitter now really exists for one presidential communication and

146
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: two for journalists who bicker with each other. That is why,

147
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: that is why Twitter exists in case you didn't know,

148
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: but that's what's going on here. But you know, the

149
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: president has this opportunity to not just make the case

150
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: but also to stand tall and proud of for the

151
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: American people. His resilience and his ability to endure and

152
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: push forward and do so really as a kind of

153
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: happy warrior is remarkable. Is remarkable. Nobody was saying they

154
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: wanted to, you know, lock up you know Obama's kids.

155
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: I know they were too young to be involved in corruption.

156
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: But you know, nobody was saying they were going to

157
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: go at you know that they weren't investigating all Valerie

158
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: Jarretts finances. They weren't. They weren't trying to, you know,

159
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: turn Michelle Obama's finances upside down, and you know, you

160
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: can go after David Axelrod. That wasn't happening. That wasn't happening.

161
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: And the media on top of it was always telling

162
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: because Obama is a genius and he's brilliant, and he's perfect,

163
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: and he's so handsome and he's so wonderful, and it's

164
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: all the opposite with Trump. You know, he's a monster,

165
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: he's destroying everything, He's awful. But there's this disconnect because

166
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: we look around and we see a country that is

167
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: prospering and that is doing really well, and there just

168
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: seems to be more of a connection to reality. You know,

169
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: this is a president who and they say, oh, buck,

170
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: but he lies about this. He relies about that. Nobody

171
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: thinks what he says, that he's the greatest ever, that

172
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: that's a factual statement that needs to be checked or whatever.

173
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: He's allowed to think what he wants. And yeah, he's

174
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: a salesman. Yeah he uses hyperbolean exaggeration to make points. Yes,

175
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: he has a very high self regard, no higher than Obama's,

176
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: by the way, And you know Trump has actually run

177
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: companies and done stuff other than just be Trump. Obama

178
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: was just good at being Obama when he ran for

179
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: office and then became president, had no record of any

180
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: kind to speak of of success beyond personal branding. Now

181
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: I know Trump's personal branding is a very important part

182
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: of his success, but he has done other stuff. So

183
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: tonight I want you if you're going to watch the

184
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: State of the Union, which I don't know how many

185
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I have to finish the show and run

186
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: right over and let me watching it from Trump HQ,

187
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: which I guess technically that's the White House, but people

188
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: refer to the Trump International Hotel. So if you're in DC,

189
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: you want to hang out with the Buckster, I'll be

190
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: over at the Trump International during the State of the Union.

191
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: But Trump is going to be standing in front of

192
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: the American people as a president who has withstood a

193
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: greater onslaught from the opposition and from the activist left

194
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: wing media than anything that has ever happened before. I mean,

195
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: it has been remarkable, and you know, I don't think

196
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able either. They're going to talk about

197
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: policy priorities tonight, they'll be talking about infrastructure. I think

198
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: that Trump is sincere when he discussed his infrastructure. I

199
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: think that as a builder by nature, he would like

200
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: if there was some way to, you know, spend because

201
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: because our infrastructure in some places stinks. It does and

202
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, our our train system, you know, our Amtrak

203
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: system is just abominable compared to what you have in

204
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: a lot of other countries. Are our roads and bridges,

205
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: as everyone's talked about, they're collapsing. You know, they could

206
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: use some upgrades, for sure. I mean, there's there's real

207
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: there's real conversation to be had about infrastructure, no question

208
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: about it. But Democrats can't. They can't give Trump a win.

209
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: They won't give Trump a win. They will utterly refuse

210
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: to work with him on something, because how can they

211
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: run against a guy who's got a really strong economy,

212
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: who has changed the national conversation around the border, who

213
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: understands the economics involvedolved here of how to get business

214
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: growing and how to make the American economy as dynamic.

215
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: And look, let's be honest, as wealthy as it can be.

216
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: We want the wealthiest comedy posts with the biggest GDP,

217
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: the most money, the most we want to win. We

218
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: want an economy based on people feeling like they can

219
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: win without the government getting in the way. And you know,

220
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: Trump is doing all this with nothing but but belly

221
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: aching and hatred and nastiness from from the mainstream media.

222
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: And I'm just I feel like we should take a

223
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: moment to say, Wow, isn't this an incredible situation. I

224
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: still wake up some days I say I can't believe

225
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: Trump is president. I don'n't mean that as in, oh, no,

226
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: I just mean that it's in it's hard to believe

227
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: that this guy is really president in the United States,

228
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: that this that he pulled this off, and that he's

229
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: still pulling it off, you know, on the infrastructure piece.

230
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get into a little more of this after

231
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: I've got some more thoughts on this. You know, a

232
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: lot of State of the Union previous stuff. By the way,

233
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: we're going to get into other stuff the rest of

234
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: the show. I'm not going to sit here and be like, Oh,

235
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: let's just have on a whole bunch of guests. What

236
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: do you expect tonight from us? What do you expect

237
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: tonight from the State of the Union. Everyone's doing this.

238
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how they do all this this speculation chatter.

239
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: For so many hours we got we got updates on

240
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: real news stories to talk to you about. Here. I

241
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: got to talk about Afghan policy, what's going on there.

242
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll even get to Jesse Smollett that is increasingly

243
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: looking like a total hoax. I'm ninety percent sure it's

244
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: a hoax. At this point, We'll talk about the Northam

245
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: and Fairfax controversies in Virginia. Pelosi's negotiations the wall. We

246
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: got to show to do tonight, right. I can't just

247
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: sit here and bring out all my buddies. It'll be fun.

248
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: Where do you think the President's going to say, Yeah,

249
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, we get it. We're not going to know

250
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: until we know, and we know we know that's something

251
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: that's some speculative analysis for you. When we know, we know,

252
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: and then we'll know. That's what I can tell you.

253
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: It's true about the state of the Union tonight. That

254
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping to see some fantastic Trump supporting patriots

255
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: over at the Trump International later. That's the planned team.

256
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: I've got a quick pause here to let you hear

257
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: from our wonderful sponsors. We'll be right back. We know

258
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: that if you were to do that, it would likely

259
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: end up in litigation and be dragged on for years,

260
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: drag on for years, and then there would be some

261
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: question of whether there would be a resolution of disapproval

262
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: that Miss Pelosi might generate from the House, which I

263
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: think would be unnecessary, unnecessary fight for us to have.

264
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: Oh no, not a resolution of disapproval from Nancy Pelosi

265
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: in the House. How would Trump ever live with himself?

266
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: I think it'll be okay. That's in reference. That was

267
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: John Corner talking about the possibility tonight that a national

268
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: emergency will be declared national emergency, which we all know

269
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: the Ninth Circus would jump in right away, even though

270
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: there is a federal statue. We had our friend Andy

271
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: McCarthy on the show to talk to us about it.

272
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: There is a congressionally passed and valid statute that says

273
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: that you do, in fact have the ability to declare

274
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: a national emergency as president United States and take action

275
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: based upon it. But the Democrats will say, oh no,

276
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: and the Democrats in black robes on the court will

277
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: shut this thing down and it will go then through

278
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: a whole court battle. I don't think that those who

279
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: worry about the president here are really understanding who we're

280
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: dealing with when we're talking about democrats. Democrats don't care

281
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: about the president. They will when they have the opportunity

282
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: and the desire, use this power, whether Trump does or not.

283
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: So I don't find that nearly as compelling as some

284
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: other people do with all this stuff. But I would

285
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: just note that this is a possibility tonight, it could happen.

286
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: This is some people, I think, expecting that this could happen.

287
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: This could happen, and it could turn into one of

288
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: these moments where the President says it, and there'll be

289
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: a whole lot of jumping around and yelling from Republicans

290
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: and Democrats will be very much opposed, and then we'll

291
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: have to see what this actually means for the agenda

292
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: going forward at the border, because we've got twelve thousand,

293
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: by the way, twelve thousand people who are showing up

294
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: in the latest caravan, twelve thousand people who are hoping

295
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: to get into the United States. And if they it's

296
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: really just a function of how much information they have,

297
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: meaning if they understand the system well enough. I mean,

298
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: I would never do this. I could, and I think

299
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: this would probably be illegal. I could coach each and

300
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: every one of those migrants, unless they had a criminal

301
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: background that would show up in their initial check. But

302
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: I could coach each and every one of them to

303
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: get through the asylum process so that they would be

304
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 1: in the United States free and clear. No, I know

305
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: how to do that, and I'm not saying that it's

306
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: hard to do, but we have a problem that has

307
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: continued at the border. It's only going to get worse.

308
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: And the declaration of a national emergency, and then the

309
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: courts holding that up would just mean that this continues on.

310
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: The problem would be exacerbated in it would worse. And

311
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: now I don't think there's going to be a lot

312
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: of unity, despite that being one of the themes of

313
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: tonight's speech. Going forward, I don't think there's gonna be

314
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: a lot of unity on this issue. But I do

315
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: think I do think that it'll give the President a

316
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: very useful opportunity to make his case forcefully to the

317
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: American people about how there is a crisis at the border,

318
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: it is getting worse, and yes, we need the wall.

319
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: There's not going to be any war money in the legislation. However,

320
00:18:53,359 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: if they have some suggestions about certain localities where technology

321
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: some infrastructure, as I said about the ports of entry,

322
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: we might need more ports of entry. I mean it

323
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: means some roads. That's that's part of the negotiation. It

324
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: is not a negotiation for the president. Say what Congress?

325
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: What did you say today? Congress is it doesn't matter

326
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: what Congress does. I knew that he wanted it all

327
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: to him, So I mean, oh, really, a president who

328
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: wants to have Congress to be completely irrelevant, and how

329
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: we meet the needs of the American people. Now, come on.

330
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes it feels like Nancy Pelosi is falling asleep while

331
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: she's talking. Am I the only one who gets that sense? Like,

332
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, you're like, well, what huh? You? Are you

333
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: making sense? Nancy? Do you know that you're even speaking

334
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: right now? What's going on here? Here's the truth of

335
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: the Wall negotiation. As you know, we've got to shut

336
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: down again looming. Although I don't think it'll happen. People

337
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: are saying that tonight there might be the declaration of

338
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: a national emergency by the president, So we'll see. Although

339
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: if I'm the president, I use this as one last

340
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: I use tonight's State of the Union's one last opportunity

341
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: to make my pitch about how there should be some

342
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: good faith negotiation here from the Democrats. And then if

343
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: you want to do the national emergency, do it right

344
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: before the next shutdown, which will go right into the courts,

345
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: and we'll see how that battle plays out. And that's

346
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: what I think is going to happen here. But notice

347
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: how Pelosi. Pelosi's whole approach to this is wrong, is untrue.

348
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: Pelosi comes at this by suggesting that you know there

349
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: can't be any money for a wall, but there can

350
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: be money for these other things in the border. Okay,

351
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: So when she says there can be money for other

352
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: things of the border, she's conceding that we can have

353
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: a strong reporter. She's also conceding that border security is

354
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: a good thing, which I don't think she believes, but

355
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: she is conceding that. And then she says no money

356
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: for a wall. Well, if she was necheating in good faith,

357
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: since we've established, by her own words, that the border

358
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: could be more secure, there are things you could do,

359
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: and that she doesn't want illegal immigration to continue, which

360
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 1: is a lie, but she's at least saying that, so

361
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: she's established it for the purposes of negotiation. Why not

362
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: say we will give you money for a section of fence.

363
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: Why not say that there will be one place along

364
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: the border where border patrol really really wants fencing, they

365
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: say they're really in need. Let's start there and see

366
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: how it goes, and we'll do an assessment after eighteen months.

367
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: That would by the Democrats a lot of time. Now

368
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's what I want. I think the

369
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: president should just start. I think the presidents do it

370
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: just say, are building a wall. I mean, does the

371
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: military have to check in with Congress every time they

372
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: throw up some barbed wire? They're building a fence. It's

373
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: a fence. This is not this is not that complicated, folks.

374
00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: We could just just build a fence. Yeah, it'll be expensive. Okay, well,

375
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: we'll find a way to get this done within the

376
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: existing budget, within the existing appropriations. Build defense. I've seen

377
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: the fence. It works. They used to say all the time,

378
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't work. But now enough people. I saw Dan Crenshaw, who,

379
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: let's be real, is probably going to run for president

380
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: in two to three cycles and probably will win. So

381
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: that must be cool for him to wake up and

382
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, man, like I'm an ex seal, now

383
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm a congressman, and you know, going to be president

384
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: one day. Anyway, he went down to the border and

385
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: he came back and he said what I said when

386
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: I was the board a few weeks before that, which

387
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: is head walls work. That's right. Walls work. They do,

388
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: so we know that walls work. If Pelosi's concerned, then

389
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: is it's too expensive. We'll then give him some money.

390
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: That would be a good faith negotiation, That would be

391
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: an effort to do something realistic, and she says, serve

392
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: the interest of the American people. Let's see if it

393
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: serves the interests of the American people. But she's not

394
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: serious about this. This is all politics for Nancy. Play

395
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: clip five. Let them work their will. I'm an appropriator.

396
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: See that's where one of the places I was forged intelligence.

397
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: Shall we go to that subject under President intelligence and appropriations?

398
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: And they know, they know their brief, they know their

399
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: limitations in terms of financial resources, and they have to

400
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: choose the best way to use the money for the

401
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: American people. And Nancy Pelosi saying I was forged in intelligence,

402
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: I just like that has fudged intelligence. I don't know

403
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: about that. I don't know. Look, I know she's third

404
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: in line for the presidency again, and she's been remarkably

405
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: successful at being a politician, which is is troubling. It

406
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: says a lot of troubling things to me about this country.

407
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: But the wall should get done. The wall is something

408
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: that Trump not only promised, but I think he has

409
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: one on the merits. In front of the American people,

410
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: they arguing about why we need a wall, and this

411
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: is when you have to look at what we're facing

412
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: if it doesn't get if it doesn't get done, you know,

413
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: the numbers that we really need, by the way, are

414
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: how many how many people have come to the border

415
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,479
Speaker 1: as family units in the last eighteen months that are

416
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: now in the country, and they're in the country illegally

417
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: if they didn't get sanctuary I'm sorry, not sanctuary, they

418
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: get sanctuary city for us. If they didn't get asylum.

419
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: How many people that is? And then just start thinking

420
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: about what that's like now year and in year out

421
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: two three hundred thousand here, three four hundred thousand there,

422
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: on top of the twenty million that are already in

423
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: the country. Know, what is it like in this country

424
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: when you have a whole voting block of tens of

425
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: millions of people because they're gonna have children, they're going

426
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: to be citizens in this country who don't believe that

427
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: the borders should exist. I mean, if I could say this,

428
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: if my parents had come here as illegals, wouldn't I

429
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be understandable for me to take the position.

430
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it makes it right, but you know,

431
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: think of put yourself in those shoes. Wouldn't you inherently

432
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: want to believe that there's nothing wrong with illegal immigration,

433
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: and then an open border is a good thing. You know,

434
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: if part of your own personal narrative, even if you're

435
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: a US citizen, was my parents came here illegally, isn't

436
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: it more likely you'd say, well, then there's nothing wrong

437
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: with illegal immigration. Isn't it more likely you'd say that

438
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: we should have an even more open border so that

439
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: nobody has to be illegal. My parents are good people,

440
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: and look illegal immigrants, you know, most of them are

441
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: good people. Most of them are people who just want

442
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: a better life for the family. You know, a vast

443
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: majority of them are. I mean, let's we're all about

444
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: honesty here, right, I mean, most of them people want

445
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: to show up here and work. They're breaking our laws.

446
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: They're not supposed to be here. We can't allow them

447
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: to be here if we're going to have a country

448
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: with rule of law and sovereignty. But doesn't mean they're

449
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: bad people. Same way that you know, I know people

450
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: that probably should pay a little more in taxes, maybe

451
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: got in trouble with the taxman. They're not bad people.

452
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: They just you know, didn't pay their taxes, which is

453
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: not which if you're going to have an orderly society

454
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: that provides services and functions. You know, people got to

455
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: pay their taxes right, doesn't make you a bad person.

456
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: There's a difference. Being an illegal imigrate doesn't make someone

457
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: a bad person. It makes them illegal limigrate. Being a

458
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: tax cheat, I would argue, doesn't make them a bad person.

459
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a little a little unethical, but you know,

460
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: then again, the tax code is I would argue, the

461
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: tax codes n ethical. I know I'm going down a hole. See,

462
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: you get me on this stuff, and you get me

463
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: in this whole rabbit hole. But Pelosi's not being serious.

464
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: Back to the issue at hand here with the wall, Pelos,

465
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: he's just not being serious about negotiating on it. And

466
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: it really just all comes down to they know that

467
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: if Trump gets the fence, he's unstoppable in twenty twenty.

468
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: And so they they realistically because they're all about power,

469
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: because that's all they care about, not serving the American people,

470
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: not Board of Security, nothing else. They're about power first

471
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: and foremost. They can't they can't give in a Trump

472
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: on this, and he knows it because if he gets

473
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: that fence, he wins. If he gets that fence, he

474
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: will not only win. He will win a few states

475
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: that he didn't win last time, and there aren't that

476
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: many that are up for grabs. So that's what's at

477
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: stake here. Let's see what happens. I want to move

478
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: on here, but I shouldn't set your intel chiefs to

479
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: say runs abiding by that nuclear deal. I know you

480
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: think it's a disagree with By the way, you just

481
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: get that intel people. That doesn't mean I have to agree.

482
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: President Bush had intel people that said Saddam Hussein interact,

483
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: had nuclear weapons, had all sorts of weapons of mass destruction.

484
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: Guess what. Those intel people didn't know what the hell

485
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: they were doing, and they got us tied up in

486
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: a war that we should have never been in. And

487
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: we've spent seven trillion dollars in the Middle East and West.

488
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: You know, Trump keeps getting hit with this. Oh, you

489
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: disagree with your own intel chiefs. I mean a few

490
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: things here. I know the Intel bureaucracy. Used to be

491
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: a CIA analyst, so I'm familiar with this stuff, all right.

492
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: I get it. And the Intel assessments that get put

493
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: out that are brief to the president, that are briefed

494
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: to Congress, I mean the assessments the big assessments tend

495
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: to be very watered down, consensus driven, and are often incorrect,

496
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: or if they're not incorrect, they're so broad in their

497
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: analytic judgments as to not really be very meaningful, which

498
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: is a major concern, a major issue if you're going

499
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: to be looking at them as the gold standard of

500
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: what a president should be paying attention to. Oh, the

501
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: president should listen to as Intel chiefs, Oh, the president

502
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: should believe. Well, hold on a second, why should the

503
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: president necessarily listen to their assessments when the assessment isn't

504
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: even the assessment of the Intel chief, right, it's from

505
00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: the organization. A lot of times it's what very organizations.

506
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: The seventeen I mean, I don't even know if off

507
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: the top of my head I can name all seventeen

508
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: Intel agencies. I could if you let me write it

509
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: down on a piece of paper, I think, and I

510
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: could go through them one by one off top of

511
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 1: my head. But you just rattle them all out. Let

512
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: me see, now, I'm not I'm not now now, you're

513
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: not gonna goad me into this on air. I'm gonna

514
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: leave one out. Everyone always leaves out, Like the National

515
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: Geospatial You know or you know, one of those always

516
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: gets left out. It's it's hard to remember them all. Man.

517
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: There is a centipede that is crawling on my window

518
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: right now. That is so do you ever see one

519
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: of those? Brandon? Oh, it's so gross. I know it's

520
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: live radio and I should be talking about the setipede,

521
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: but I can't stop the show to kill it. But oh,

522
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: it's like free and it's got like the it's not

523
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: really fur though their legs. Oh, it's so gross. Temple

524
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 1: of doom, Brandon, come and kill it. So this is like,

525
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: this is like torture man, because I'm gonna I'm a

526
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: live radio I can't get up out of Oh I

527
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: hate them. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, guys, I'm I'm a man.

528
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take care of that centipede. Don't worry about

529
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: don't worry about. It's all right. It's not like it's

530
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: the grossest bug ever running around on my window on

531
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: the inside, which is disappointing. Okay, back to uh that

532
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: that really did just happen. Now that that's gonna Now,

533
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna haunt me if I can't get when we

534
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: go into commercial break, we know what I'm doing I

535
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: am killing that that that frigging centipede. But on INTEL chiefs,

536
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: who also can be upsetting in their own way, the

537
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: assessments that they share with the President are not gospel.

538
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is it should be challenged.

539
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 1: It should The assumptions that are baked into a lot

540
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: of the Intel products have resulted in policies in the

541
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: Middle East that are not good policies for the U.

542
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: They always say this, I'll give you a little bit

543
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: of a you know, kind of a in the weeds here. First,

544
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: they always say you can't be policy prescriptive in analytic

545
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: pieces at CIA, d I A, NSA, etcetera, etcetera. They

546
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: don't want policy prescription, but they always want you to

547
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of put out well, maybe a little opportunities or

548
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: opportunity analysis. You know, these are the ways that we

549
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: see how things could play out. But really what you're

550
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: doing is saying, let's kind of push you in this direction,

551
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: and I know you're not supposed to do it. They

552
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: say it's not good analytic tradecraft, which nerves you know,

553
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 1: analysis analysts are too nerdy for tradecraft. But we call

554
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: it tradecraft. But what ends up happening is you try

555
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: to try to push the president's mindset on an issue

556
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: in a certain direction, even if you're even if it's subconscious,

557
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: that is what you're doing. That's the reality. Okay, so

558
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: start with that, and the President is allowed to say,

559
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't like this, but this is you know, the

560
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: media love to pretend that there is some there's some

561
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, monolith of incredible experts out there that disagree

562
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: with Trump on everything, and Trump is a buffoon for

563
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: not listening to them, and they're always right and he's

564
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: always wrong, and it's just not true. The Intel community

565
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: has incredible information from the various collection platforms, many classified

566
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: ones platforms that I know very well. They have incredible information.

567
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: But that's not the same as they have incredible analysis

568
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: and foresight and strategy, because I'm here to tell you

569
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: they don't. Yeah, I know some of some of my

570
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: old friends from the some of old friends from Langley

571
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: that are listening to this right now, probably not happy

572
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: with that assessment, although some of would be like Bucks,

573
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: just telling you the truth, guys. It is true. There

574
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: is brilliance inside Langley. There is stupidity inside Langley. And

575
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: when brilliance and stupidity. Have to agree on something, you know,

576
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: you get c span No, I mean you know, you

577
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: get something that's just not that exciting. You get something

578
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: that's watered down and consensus driven. And that's never going

579
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: to be analysis that gets you ahead of the curve.

580
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: So there's talking. It's just a frustrating talking about I've

581
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: had to hear it so many times from so many

582
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: different people. All the presidents disagree with his intel chiefs,

583
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: all the president. Now, it's not as easy, it's not

584
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: as straightforward as that. And when you look at the

585
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: Intel chiefs from the last few years, and I'm people

586
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: like Brennan and Hated and Clapper, these people aren't just unimpressive,

587
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: they're unhinged. They are unhinged. They should not be advising.

588
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: It's actually disconcerting that they were advising the last president

589
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: at such senior levels, although that may explain some of

590
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: the decision making. So Trump is not at war with

591
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: the intel community. The information they provide to him is

592
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: what is so essential. The analysis and their opinion and

593
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: their judgment on some of these matters. That's not their role.

594
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: The president is the one and his advisors are the

595
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: ones who look at the information and determine what is

596
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: in the national security interests of the United States. It

597
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 1: is not for someone who's working in sub Basement seven

598
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: of the Pentagon or you know, the new headquarters building

599
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: at Langley or you know whatever, it's not for them

600
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: to determine what the national interests in the United States

601
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: is and also how best to handle these challenges, challenges

602
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: that have been around for a long time. If the

603
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: Intel community had the answer to how to fix North Korea,

604
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: how to get us out of Afghanistan, how to you know,

605
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: finish off the last one percent of the Islamic state

606
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: in Syria, don't you think they had an obligation to

607
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: tell us already? I shouldn't we already know and wouldn't

608
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: that have been implemented? They don't know. Their job is

609
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: not to lead. Their job is to provide information. So

610
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, the media doesn't really understand this because they

611
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: also the media thinks that their job is to provide

612
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: both information but also wisdom. You see, the wisdom of

613
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: our media betters, the wisdom of the journalist elite, is

614
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: to be shared with us all the time. Although you'll

615
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 1: see tonight at the State of the Union when they're

616
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: you know they're talking about all this stuff. You'll see

617
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 1: they all will say the same things. They all repeat

618
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: each other, you know, the same criticisms of Trump, the

619
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: same hackneyed boilerplate garbage. It's all. You know. The media

620
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: needs an overhaul. You know. That's that's a conversation for

621
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: another time. You know. The other thing tonight is I

622
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: just hope at some point they decide, you know, we

623
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 1: can stop with the sitting and the standing thing. It's

624
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: just weird, man, It's just weird. They don't have to

625
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: do it. No one's forcing them to do the sit,

626
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: stand sits, dance, dance it. You know, they're not a

627
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: bunch of trained poodles. They should just be adults and

628
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: sit and let the president make his speech. But I know,

629
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, tradition and blah blah blah. That's that's my

630
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: State of the Union analysis. Blah blah blah. We'll be

631
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: right back by now. A lot of us have started

632
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: racking our brains about what to do this Valentine's Dale.

633
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: I can tell you I'm already locked and loaded my

00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,359

654
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: some of the questions that Robert Muller asked you? Well, Look,

655
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: the Russia thing is a hoax. I have been tougher

656
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: on Russia than any president, maybe ever, but than any

657
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: president when it comes to the investigation that the Special

658
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: Counsel's conducting me, thirty four people have been charged here, Okay,

659
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: you're ready, Okay, you're ready. Of the thirty four people,

660
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: many of them were bloggers from Moscow, or they were

661
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: people that had nothing to do with me, had nothing

662
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: to do with what they're talking about, or there were

663
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: people that got caught telling a fib were telling a lie.

664
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a terrible thing that's happened to this

665
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: country because this investigation is a witch hunt. It's a

666
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: terrible witch hunt, and it's a disgrace. Why didn't they

667
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: go after Hillary Clinton for her email She had thirty

668
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: three thousand emails that were deleted after receiving a subpoena

669
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: from Congress. The disparity and justice between what Donald Trump

670
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: has had to suffer through in his top people and

671
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: what was afforded to Hillary Clinton and is the single

672
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: biggest political scandal of my lifetime so far, and President

673
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: Trump has had to suffer through this. Just keep pushing on.

674
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: It's it's remarkable it's astounding that he's been as successful

675
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: as he is with the nine of the media, most

676
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: of the federal bureaucracy, and the entirety of the Democratic

677
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: Party in Hollywood and Silicon Valley and all this stuff

678
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: just trying to not just beat him politically, but destroy him,

679
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: destroy his family, throw people in prison. I know journalists

680
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: who openly advocate for members of Donald Trump's family to

681
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: get sent to prison. I know journalists who will openly

682
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: say that they think the President United States should be

683
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: in jail. And there he had. I don't know if

684
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: that was Brennan over at CBS another just these people,

685
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: these mainstream media people at the network, they're also they're

686
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: also not irreplaceable. They're also replaceable, interchangeable the word I

687
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: was looking for. They all ask the same kind of questions.

688
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: They all take themselves too seriously. None of them are

689
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: that interesting. I just, you know, I can't wait till

690
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: everyone just just cuts the chord and we're all digital

691
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: and there's more and more platforms, and just you know,

692
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: people can really watch and listen to who they want

693
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: without all these middlemen and all this other stuff that

694
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: goes on in the process. The notion that CBS Evening

695
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: News still has millions and millions of people that have

696
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: watched that for half an hour. Why you know, what

697
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: does CBS TV News bring to you. It's not a

698
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: news channel all day. Then all of a sudden, No,

699
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: we got a news show free for thirty minutes. App

700
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: then we'll go. But as she asks Trump about this,

701
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,479
Speaker 1: about this issues, oh, thirty four people have been indicted. Well,

702
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: like half of them are Russian troll farmers who did

703
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: essentially nothing. Okay, half of of them are Russian troll

704
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: farmers whose whole you know, involvement in this process is

705
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: it set up some phony Facebook accounts and do some

706
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 1: things that annoy some annoys some Libs and Hillary and

707
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: and they're never going to set foot in prison. But

708
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: that's they're trying to pad the numbers. You know, they're

709
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: trying to make this look more substantial than it is.

710
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: That's what's going on here. Okay, So and then you

711
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: know these other people that throw in there too, None

712
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: of them have been charged with anything that has anything

713
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: to do with Russia collusion. And I come across all

714
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: these libs and say, oh, but you know, maybe this

715
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: or maybe that, or you know, yes, no, maybe, so

716
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: it's all nonsense. It's all nonsense, you know. I know

717
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: the President is probably not going to focus on this

718
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: tonight during the State of the Union. But it's a

719
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: part of me that just wishes that he didn't have

720
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: to deal with this anymore. Ever, not a part of me,

721
00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: all of me. It's such a waste, it's such a scam,

722
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: and it's really been unfair to the president and with that,

723
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: it's unfair to the American people. I talked to Trump

724
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: about this. He said, it's a drain. He said, it's

725
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: really you know, it's a stressor, and it slows them

726
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: down and prevents them from being able to do what

727
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do. And I also keep in mind

728
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: here Trump has been in many ways pretty moderate. You know,

729
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: he actually does outreach to the other side, tries to

730
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: negotiate with them on things, probably wants to do infrastructure,

731
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, didn't didn't completely repeal. I know it's up

732
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: to the Senate too. There's other players and all this,

733
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: but the Trump agenda, other than the wall, which shouldn't

734
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: be radical, or the fence, which shouldn't be considered a

735
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: radical position, but it is because Democrats are open borders.

736
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: There's really nothing that Donald Trump is advocating that's radical.

737
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: He's just trying to follow through on promises that other

738
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: politicians have made before, but he's trying to say this time,

739
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: we're really going to do it. And then there's also

740
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: the the Iran deal, which is going to get I

741
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: think a renewed focus tonight. I think that he's right

742
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: in saying that the Iran deal is here's the problem.

743
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: The left always says that they're complying with the deal,

744
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: but they don't tell you was the problem. Is the

745
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 1: deal so easy complying with it isn't enough. That's the problem.

746
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: Trump's going to talk about that tonight, and He's right.

747
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: They made a terrible deal. Play fourteen my intelligence people.

748
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: If they said, in fact that Iran is a wonderful kindergarten,

749
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: I disagree with them one hundred percent. It is a

750
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: vicious country that kills many people. When you talk about

751
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: torture and so many other things, and maybe they'll come back.

752
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: The country is getting Absolutely when I ended the horrible

753
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: Iran nuclear deal, it was a horrible deal done by

754
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: President Obama and John Kerry that didn't know what the

755
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: hell he was doing. When I ended that deal, Margaret,

756
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Iran became a different country. They

757
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: became very rapidly. Right now, they're a country that's in

758
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: big financial trouble. Yep. Obama bailed them out one hundred

759
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: and fifty billion dollars, released to them, billions of dollars

760
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: in cash, delivered to them on pallets. The whole thing

761
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: was wrong. It was wrong. And when you understand Obama's

762
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: foreign policy philosophy where it comes from whose advisors are,

763
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: the way he acted all made perfect sense, which was

764
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: he was an ironopiser. You know, he figured that the

765
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: way to deal with Iran is he trying to make

766
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: them my friends. You know. Have things gone better with

767
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: Iran or Cuba as a result of the obaministration? No?

768
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: Not really, Nope, certainly not I Ran, but I don't

769
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: think he'd say Cuba has either. Meanwhile, they hammer Trump

770
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: because he hasn't fixed North Korea, the biggest national security

771
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: crisis on the world stage, really the ongoing national security

772
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: crisis because it involves nuclear weapons. But do they give

773
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: him the benefit of the doubt because he kept in

774
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: place the sanctions, He's kept in play, the pressure that

775
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: has been there all along because he knows that you

776
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 1: can't trust Kim Jong Unn. He knows the guys, the guys,

777
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: you know, a weirdo and obviously borderline looty tunes. I mean,

778
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: I know, I've never talked to the guy. Very few

779
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: Americans have. But and this is a country that is

780
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: the most bizarre place on planet Earth. And you know,

781
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: Trump has a lot of faith in his abilities, but

782
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: I think he knows that there's some limitations. And one

783
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: of the limitations he's going to be up against is

784
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: that he's dealing with the He's dealing with a lunatic

785
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: and Kim Jong un, and that's why he leaves in

786
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: place the sanctions. That's why he doesn't give them any

787
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: benefit until they show some reason for that benefit. Unlike

788
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: Obama with Iran, who Obama shows up, He's like, hey,

789
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: take all, take whatever you need to stop being mean

790
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: to us. It's a bad way to get a deal done.

791
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: But Obama was not a good deal maker. There are

792
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: few things more American than a delicious, amy cup of

793
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: coffee in the morning. If it's black rifle coffee, that's

794
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: my coffee of choice. This is a great American company

795
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: run by a bunch of great American patriots. They are

796
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: veterans the Special Operations community. Put these guys geek out

797
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: about their coffee. They're all about small batch roast to order,

798
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: fresh delivered to your door, coffee that is absolutely delicious.

799
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's got a real kick to

800
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: it too, if you like a little bit of a

801
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: jolt from the caffeination station. If you know what I mean,

802
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: You want black Rifle, I get it delivered to my

803
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: door every month. Make this your coffee of choice too,

804
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: because they're also a bunch of freedom loving, patriotic conservative

805
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: Americans that run this place. All right, wake up with

811
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to address an issue of profound moral importance. I

812
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: understand that he plans to ask and fat the path

813
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: legislation that ought to be the very definition of something

814
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: that receives unanimous consent and this body. It would help

815
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: ensure that all baby girls and boys who are born alive,

816
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: all of them have their right to life respected and

817
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: receive the medical care that they need. The Born Alive

818
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: Infant Bill is currently being held up by Democrats. They

819
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: are blocking this Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Acts has

820
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: been on the Senate floor in the last couple of

821
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: days and Senator Ben sass has called for unanimous consent

822
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: on this and all it does is say that there

823
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: will be personhood accorded to a baby that survives the

824
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: abortion attempt. The way that Democrats respond to this, it's

825
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 1: similar to what you see from Democrat Senator Patty Murray.

826
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: They say that it's unnecessary because there are already legal

827
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: prohibitions on it. This doesn't make any sense as an argument,

828
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: does it. We shouldn't pass this bill because there's already

829
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: a bill that says this thing that it's that your

830
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: bill would do. Well, No, there's not so. And even

831
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: if that were the case, well, then why would you

832
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: object to it? Right if we passed a bill that's

833
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: at the tax rate of twenty five percent and somebody

834
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: said no, no no, we need to pass this. We need

835
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: to pass this bill that clarifies the tax rate twenty

836
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: five percent. Why would you object to that? But this

837
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: goes to the heart of the abortion debate as it

838
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: as it is unfolding in this country right now, and

839
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: that is that it is impossible for the pro abortion

840
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: Democrat party, which you cannot be a Democrat and not

841
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: be pro abortion. Now, I think it may be the

842
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: only thing that you must, because even among some minority communities,

843
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: you'll get a pass on gay marriage. For example, you know,

844
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: if you are a left wing but practicing Muslim, you

845
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: might get a pass on your gay marriage views because well,

846
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 1: that's a whole other conversation, you know, meaning that you

847
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: could be opposed to gay marriage if you're a practicing Muslim,

848
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: and that was what you said your reason was, I

849
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: think the left would give you. They wouldn't agree with you,

850
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: but they might give you a pass abortion. You absolutely

851
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: have to be pro abortion. They obviously say pro choice.

852
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: If you're going to be a Democrat. There's no room

853
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: for you anymore in the party, no room for you

854
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 1: anymore in the party unless you sign on for that.

855
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: But when they talk about this issue, they talk about

856
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: what's going on with these bills, in Virginia and in

857
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: New York. There's always a lot of lies. There's always

858
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 1: a lot of dishonesty about what the law actually says,

859
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: what it really means, and what it would do. Why

860
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: can't we have an honest discussion If this is a

861
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:26,720
Speaker 1: constitutionally protected right, as the Democrats say it is, why

862
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: can't we have an open and honest discussion about it?

863
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: Why isn't there room for this? In fact, my friend

864
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,919
Speaker 1: David Harsani over at the Federalists wrote why Democrats can't

865
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: talk honestly about abortion? I just see this now, It's

866
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: a peace The truth is unconscionable in a modern world. Yeah,

867
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 1: that's why they have to do all this changing the subject,

868
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: or you know, not saying things aren't true when they

869
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: are true. I said this My advisor had. The Archies

870
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: at Amherst was back in the in the in the

871
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 1: I believe it was the late eighties, pushing for the

872
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: Born Alive Infants Protection Act because there was in fact

873
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: no legal clarity on what to do with the product

874
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: of a failed abortion, that product being a human being?

875
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: What do you do with somebody? And the Left cannot

876
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: grapple with this. They also cannot grapple with the fact

877
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: that there is no such thing. There is no such

878
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: thing as a medical condition that requires abortion for the

879
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: mother in the third trimester. There is, or there are

880
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: rather conditions that require delivery, but not abortion. And you

881
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: know these are facts. The left that pretends has all

882
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 1: this cultural attachment to being hashtag science and pro science.

883
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: We know that they discard this when it comes to gender.

884
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: We know they discard their so called love of science

885
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,280
Speaker 1: when it comes to abortion and the science around abortion

886
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: and what is provable and demonstrable in terms of fetal

887
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: pain and heartbeat. And this is a moment when we

888
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: should all stop and think, not all issues are just

889
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: a difference of opinion. This is one of them. Third

890
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: trimester abortion is wrong. It is barbaric. In fact, there's

891
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: another piece that I would recommend to you on the

892
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: Federalist that says that it is the hallmark of a

893
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: pagan culture, and as this country is culturally de christianizing,

894
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: there is more and more room for these kinds of

895
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: pagan ideas of utility, which you can take all the

896
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 1: way back to ancient Sparta. You know Sparta we think

897
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: of from the movie three hundred. As this place that

898
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: was fighting for freedom against the Persians, and Sparta was

899
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: a brutal slave state. Actually perhaps something that we just

900
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 1: we could do a deep dive in history another time,

901
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: but Sparta was a brutal slave state where they also

902
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: would leave infants that had any infirmity out to die

903
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 1: the exposure, and that the parents, sometimes in consultation with

904
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: some of the elders of the city state of Sparta,

905
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,959
Speaker 1: would say okay, and they would just leave the baby

906
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: out to die. Pagan culture, obviously and a brutal but

907
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: utilitarian one, the idea being that it's not it was

908
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: not worth the resources in their mind to rear a

909
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: child who had a you know, a leg that would

910
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 1: never work or whatever the case, maybe it would never

911
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: see or would never they would leave the child out

912
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: to die. The hallmark I would argue of a Christian

913
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: culture as one in which life is respected always in

914
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: at all stages, and the preciousness of life, the value

915
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: of life is the central building block for the entire society,

916
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: and there are whole philosophical discussions that maybe are worth

917
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,439
Speaker 1: even having on this show. Though I don't I don't

918
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: want to get you know, I don't want to sound

919
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 1: like this is some kind of a polycide one on

920
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: one lecture. Although that is that is my academic background.

921
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: I've told you I studied with Hadley argued. You can

922
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 1: read some of his works if you want first things,

923
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: or a philosopher in the city, or he has all

924
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:33,439
Speaker 1: these different original works of conservative jurisprudence. I'm not gonna

925
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: lie to you. A little dense, little little tough to

926
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: get through some of it. But you know, the foundation

927
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,240
Speaker 1: of a moral society, as a society that respects life,

928
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: is something that we cannot lose sight of, and it

929
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 1: certainly was at the heart of the genius of the founding,

930
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: despite the imperfections at the start of this nation that

931
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: you're all quite familiar with this well, so you know

932
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: this is a big one. And and you know, Trump,

933
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 1: for all of his flaws, And I've recently had some

934
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: friends who are never Trump really try to start lecturing

935
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: me on you know, Trump's bad because of this, and

936
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: Trump's bad because of that and all this other stuff.

937
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: For all of his flaws, the truth is that President

938
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: Trump has been as pro life a president as has

939
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: existed in my lifetime. Ronald Reagan, when he was a

940
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: politician when he was the governor of California, signed an

941
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: abortion law into signed an abortion law into effect, and

942
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: later changed his mind. I'm not saying Reagan didn't have

943
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: a change of heart. But Trump is as pro life

944
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: a president in terms of policy as we have had,

945
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: and the judges that he is putting on the federal

946
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: bench and up for the Supreme Court will have the

947
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: effect in time. I'm not sure they'll be able to

948
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: overturn Row or even trunk Kate more of planned parent

949
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: would be casey, but they will have the effect I

950
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: believe of shifting the conversation and saving lives. And so

951
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,800
Speaker 1: it is not an exaggeration to say that because Trump

952
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: was able to defeat Hillary Clinton in that last election.

953
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 1: If you are pro life, and I am, and I

954
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: know many, maybe not all of you, but many of

955
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: you listening are. If you are pro life, remember as

956
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: our president is addressing the country tonight and a lot

957
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 1: of people are always picking on him about this or that,

958
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: and you know his tweets or his business dealings, or

959
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: his manner of speaking, whatever it may be. If you

960
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: believe that abortion is the taking of a human life,

961
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 1: President Trump has used his power to put people in

962
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: place in other positions of power that will result, over

963
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: the long term, in fewer infants being killed through this procedure,

964
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: which means that President Trump is responsible for saving a

965
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 1: lot of lives. President Trump is responsible for saving a

966
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: lot of lives. It's worth remembering that one of the

967
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: bills I've introduced this legislative session with my good colleague,

968
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 1: Senator Will Haskell, would increase the tax on ammunition here

969
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: in the state. Currently, ammunition is taxed at the same

970
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: rate as other products, but we want to increase it

971
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: by fifty percent because we see this as a prevention measure.

972
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: It wouldn't apply to law enforcement or to military, but

973
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: for example, if someone were to buy a fifty cartridge

974
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: box of ammunition, which goes for about ten dollars, it

975
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,879
Speaker 1: would increase the price to fifteen dollars. We see this

976
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 1: as a public health measure, similar to what we've done

977
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: in the state of Connecticut with increasing the tax on cigarettes.

978
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: When we increase that tax, we've seen a reduction in use.

979
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: And so we want to continue Connecticut's legacy of being

980
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: a leader on preventing and addressing gun violence, and we

981
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: see this as another step forward in that direction. What

982
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: an imbecile. You know, I understand that people now like

983
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: to try to go A lot of these politicians, even

984
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: state politicians, see it as a way to get to

985
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: the national level really quickly. They create these little little videos.

986
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 1: That was State Rep. Jillian Gilcrest in Connecticut who's talking

987
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:19,479
Speaker 1: about this fifty percent tax increase on ammunition. And look,

988
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: she's anything that goes to anything that serves to stick

989
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: a thumb in the eye of people who like guns

990
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: in the Second Amendment. Anything is something that libs will

991
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: celebrate because what is one of my favorite things to

992
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: make sure that everybody's on board, but that everyone understands

993
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: libs are not really so concerned with opposing gun violence.

994
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: They are concerned with opposing the people who believe in

995
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: owning guns. It is cultural disdain that they are showing

996
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: this whole hatred of gun violence, and all the anger

997
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: toward guns is really just a proxy for hate for

998
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: gun owners. They if you own firearms, you tend to

999
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: be pro life, you tend to be more conservative, you

1000
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: tend to go to church, you tend to live in

1001
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: red states. I mean, this is obviously a very broad generalization,

1002
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: but those are all categorizations that generally are true, and

1003
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: Libs hate all that stuff. So guns now have been,

1004
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: and they have been for a long time. Guns are effectively,

1005
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: in the eyes of Libs, the equivalent of a maga hat,

1006
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: although they probably think maga hats are even more dangerous.

1007
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: But guns are like maga hats. If you wear a

1008
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: maga hat, that's all lib has to that's all live

1009
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: has to know about you. If you believe in the

1010
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: right to bear arms, that's all live haus to know

1011
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: about you. Two, there used to be these Democrats that

1012
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: were the gun toton Democrats and the blue dog Democrats,

1013
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: and that's that's really going by the wayside. I mean,

1014
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: the Democrats have become not just a pro legal immigration

1015
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: party and a socialism party, but they've become an anti

1016
00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: Second Amendment party. And just stepping back here for second,

1017
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: at the nuts and bolts of this proposal to tax

1018
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: ammunition fifty percent. I mean, I've heard of some really

1019
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: hair brained schemes before where people have said, well, maybe

1020
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: if we make bullets so expensive they won't use them.

1021
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:15,919
Speaker 1: This is this is essentially an extension of that. Think

1022
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: about how stupid her logic is here, or how inept

1023
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: her reasoning is a fifty percent increase on ammunition. Does

1024
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: anyone think that if someone's going to go shoot somebody

1025
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: in a gangland shooting, they're going to say, oh, I

1026
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: can't do this gangland shooting because it's going to cost,

1027
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen dollars instead of ten dollars. All this

1028
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: does is drive the costs up for people who like

1029
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: to go either hunting or sports shooting. Those are the

1030
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: only people who are really going to be any civilians

1031
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: who are really going to be affected by this. But

1032
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: it's a way of showing cultural disdain and the idea

1033
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: that this somehow is is akin to smoking. Smoking is

1034
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:58,919
Speaker 1: bad for you. If you want to do it, that's

1035
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: your choice. But smoking is bad for you. And they

1036
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: have said for a long time that if you do it,

1037
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna have you know, you're gonna put yourself at

1038
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: a high risk for diseases. And if we're going to

1039
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: have a healthcare system that takes into account your risk factors,

1040
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: smoking is a risk factor and health insurance looks at

1041
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: risk factors, and you know, this is this is how

1042
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: they justified and whether you agree with that approach or not,

1043
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: at least it is based on something that is true.

1044
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: There is no public health risk to you or your

1045
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 1: friends being able to buy a bunch of uh, you know,

1046
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of twelve gage rounds to go out and

1047
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: shoot some sporting clays, or go buy a bunch of

1048
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, two two threes to go fire off in

1049
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 1: your aar or whatever. There's no you know, twenty two

1050
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: long rifle. I mean, whatever it is you like to

1051
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: go shoot, there's no public health risk to you going

1052
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: and shooting and doing this in a way that you're

1053
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: enjoying your secondmentment rights. But in Connecticut they know it's dumb,

1054
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter because it's just about guns bad,

1055
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: gun owners bad. That's the way they think of it too.

1056
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: I think if I could look at the picture, but

1057
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: I think there are three photos, one me standing in

1058
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: front of a car that I restored, one kneeling like

1059
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 1: on a farm setting, and then one to some more

1060
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: formal picture I did submit those. Where this other picture

1061
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: came from, I don't know, and I'm not going to

1062
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: sit here and hypothesize or speculate how it happened. But

1063
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: I can only imagine that if there are a number

1064
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: of photos laid out on a table and someone is

1065
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,439
Speaker 1: pacing those on page after page that one could get

1066
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: mistakenly put on the wrong page. And as I said earlier,

1067
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: this has happened numerous times in this particular yearbook, and

1068
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: I suspect that's what happened in this case. This was

1069
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: not my picture. I was not in that costume, either

1070
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: as blackfaced or as KKK. And it's not me. I mean,

1071
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: this guy is such a liar. Who else to say.

1072
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so obvious that what he is saying

1073
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: is not true. This is the governor of Virginia, and

1074
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: this is somebody who you think you could expect some

1075
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: level of decency and honesty from. You know, this is

1076
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: a guy, well he's a Democrat, but I mean other

1077
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: than that, you know, he is a senior official for

1078
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: the state of Virginia. And here it is a time

1079
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: when we all know he already said sorry. So no person,

1080
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: I stand behind what I said yesterday. No person who

1081
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 1: has ever posed for a photograph would look at a

1082
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: photograph of themselves in and say that's me when it's

1083
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: not them. That does not happen, all right, this is

1084
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: not It's not the Russians. There's not some elaborate international

1085
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: conspiracy here. The Chinese did not, you know, go back

1086
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: and photoshop every copy of this yearbook ever and replace

1087
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: it in old, dusty libraries that anybody noticing this guy

1088
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: Northam's a liar, which I think is the worst part

1089
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: of this. Yeah, the photo is really racist and terrible

1090
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 1: and bad, no question about it. But the photo was

1091
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: also over thirty years ago. And I, as I said

1092
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: to you yesterday, I believe this very strongly that people

1093
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: should not be judged by the worst thing they ever

1094
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: did a long time ago in terms of their judgment.

1095
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm not including mass murders and

1096
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: stuff here, but for people that you know, aired for

1097
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: people that said the wrong thing or held the wrong beliefs,

1098
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: whatever they may have been, if they've repudiated them and

1099
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: lived a good life since them. I mean, I do

1100
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 1: think there's a statute of limitations on stupidity. I think

1101
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: that we need to enforce that as a society. There

1102
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: needs to be a statute of limitations on stupidity meeting.

1103
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: You know, if someone finds some photo of someone from

1104
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 1: college and they're in their fifties and they've been a

1105
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: really good family man and a good public servant, etcetera, etcetera.

1106
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: You know, you got to weigh that in. It can't

1107
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: just be up. We found somebody and I'm not saying

1108
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: this specifically, but anything that you'd find about somebody from

1109
01:03:56,440 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: college that all said the lying about this is just

1110
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: way too much for anyone to stomach. And it's so

1111
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: clear that this guy is just full of it. I

1112
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 1: thought this was interesting. You know, MSNBC desperate to do

1113
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: what they always do, which is everything is Trump's fault.

1114
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: I mean, at some point this becomes a really unfunny joke, right,

1115
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: everything is Trump's fault, And here's some guy on MSNBC

1116
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: blaming Trump for Northam's thirty plus year old black face

1117
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: KKK controversy playclip twenty one. When did black face become

1118
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: a thing again? Why does it seem as if this

1119
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: is all of a sudden front and center in America again?

1120
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: What's happening? I think it has something to do with

1121
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump has unleashed. It has something to do

1122
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: with what's on the reservoir that's underneath our politics that

1123
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: can always be activated at any moment. So it's not

1124
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 1: like something's new, something new has happened. It's always underneath

1125
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: it's the undertow. Uh. Someone is going to need to

1126
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 1: explain this one to me. Uh, someone's gonna need to

1127
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: explain to me how Trump could be responsible for this.

1128
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: Trump did not go back in time and make this

1129
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: guy take this photo. I mean, this is the dumbest

1130
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard. How is blackfaced thing? Get h

1131
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: This photo just surface from thirty some nine years ago.

1132
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,479
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with Donald Trump. I mean

1133
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 1: that they would try to make this you know, this

1134
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 1: is like blaming Donald Trump for the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

1135
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 1: Like when do we reach the crazy point where we

1136
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: no longer have to take these people seriously when they

1137
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 1: say things like this. I mean that was that was

1138
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: the stretch of all stretches. But but it gets crazier.

1139
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: Well maybe not crazier. Well, no, this might be crazier.

1140
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: So you got the Northam controversy. This guy's still the

1141
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: governor of Virginia. Let's just take a moment. This guy's

1142
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: still the governor of Virginia. I was in that photo. No,

1143
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't in that photo. I never painted my face black. No,

1144
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: I did paint my face black. I mean this guy,

1145
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, he can't he can't shoot straight, can't speak straight.

1146
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: Who knows what's coming out of this guy's mouth. Next, Meanwhile,

1147
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 1: you have the lieutenant governor Governor, Lieutenant Governor Fairfax, who

1148
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: yesterday in a press conference suggests that Northam the actual god,

1149
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 1: the Democrat governor, the guy that he serves under and

1150
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: is on the ticket with that Northam may be behind

1151
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: the Fairfax allegations of a sexual assault from fifteen years ago,

1152
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 1: Play twenty. You believe that the governor's team is spreading

1153
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know precisely where this is coming from.

1154
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: You know, we've heard different things. But but here's the thing.

1155
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,959
Speaker 1: Does anybody think it's any coincidence that on the eve

1156
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 1: of potentially my being elevated, that that's when this uncorroborated

1157
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,919
Speaker 1: smear comes out. Does anybody believe that's a coincidence? I don't.

1158
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody believes that's a coincidence. It goes

1159
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: away for a year and then crops back up right

1160
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: at this moment, you don't have to be cynical. You

1161
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: don't have to understand politics, how to understand with someone's

1162
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: trying to manipulate a process to harm someone's character without

1163
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: any basis whatsoever. Does anybody think it's a coincidence that

1164
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 1: on the on the eve of my being elevated, that's

1165
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: when this comes out. Now you could say that, you

1166
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: could say that he's you know, alluding to it could

1167
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 1: be anybody, but he makes it pretty clear that he

1168
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: thinks that Northam could be involved. I mean, this is nuts.

1169
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 1: I think that's in another sound bite. But he says

1170
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: some really really inflammatory stuff. Well I don't know, I mean,

1171
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: is it is it possible that Governor Northam really hates

1172
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: fairfaxt so much that he would he would try to

1173
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: elevate this. Now that then brings me back to the

1174
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: fair fact situation. You will recall on this show, I

1175
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 1: was saying during the Kavanaugh hearing, and I was one

1176
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 1: of the earliest on the right. There were some others,

1177
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: but who was just saying, not that, oh, we need

1178
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 1: to wait for more reverence. I said, now, these women

1179
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 1: are lying. They're lying. This is a lie. We should

1180
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 1: understand that they're lying. And that got me a lot

1181
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: of heat. Got a lot of people that were well,

1182
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: not a lot of people, but a few other people

1183
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: who were there with me also got a lot of heat.

1184
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,600
Speaker 1: But one of the reasons that was so upsetting was

1185
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:47,799
Speaker 1: that it also represented the whole Kavanaugh character. Assassination plot

1186
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: represented a concerted effort by the left, by the Democrats

1187
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:57,759
Speaker 1: and their entire left wing apparatus, to remove any due

1188
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: process and any factual base is for an allegation for

1189
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,719
Speaker 1: it to be able to destroy you, meaning that all

1190
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: that has to happen is someone comes forward, you're a conservative,

1191
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:13,679
Speaker 1: they say you did something with no corroboration, no facts,

1192
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: nothing whatsoever other than the allegation itself and some vague

1193
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: personal connection. Remember, remember Blasi Ford didn't remember the year,

1194
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: didn't remember the month, didn't remember the house, said people

1195
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: were there who said they weren't there, didn't remember how

1196
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: she got home. I mean, you know, all she remembered

1197
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: is that the guy that at that point was about

1198
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 1: to become the greatest threat to Rove Wade in the

1199
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: Supreme Court's history. That's how the left saw it, was

1200
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 1: about to be elevated, and she had an opportunity to

1201
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 1: be a hero to the feminist Democrat left and its

1202
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: pro abortion obsession. That that was what she saw, an

1203
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to be a hero to the left, and the

1204
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: media didn't just treat her allegation as though it were credible.

1205
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 1: The media treated her allegation as though it was sacred.

1206
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 1: She had a right to be believed. Well, if you

1207
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: have a right to be believed, which is a stupid

1208
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 1: concept to begin with, that's we have evidence for a reason, right,

1209
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: we have the ability to confront your accuser for a reason.

1210
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 1: These processes are in place to defend and uphold justice.

1211
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 1: But if she had a right to be believed with

1212
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: her preposterous story, which when you add to the other

1213
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 1: even more preposterous stories. The woman who thinks maybe Brett

1214
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh showed you know, his man part tour, but like

1215
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 1: she wasn't sure and she had to call other people

1216
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: to find out. And the other woman who said that

1217
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,759
Speaker 1: there were gang rape parties going on that Brett Kavanaugh tended,

1218
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: but she was too old probably to be attending them.

1219
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: No one else saw this, no one else heard about this,

1220
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: and she never called the cops. And she was a

1221
01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 1: college kid hanging out with high schoolers and didn't think

1222
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,679
Speaker 1: this was weird. I mean, just these people were such liars.

1223
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: Now that we've had a little bit of time, isn't

1224
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 1: it an amazing if anyone believed this crap. But the

1225
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: standard was set by Democrats then that they were willing again,

1226
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 1: this is what they're willing to do. They were willing

1227
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: to discard everything when it came to do process and

1228
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 1: fairness to the accused because it was in their short

1229
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: term political interests to do so. Here now we have

1230
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:30,879
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor Fairfax. The woman is named has come forward,

1231
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 1: knows him, knows where this event, the sexual assault allegedly happened,

1232
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: the time that it allegedly happened, the circumstances in which

1233
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 1: it allegedly happened, and he did have a sexual relationship

1234
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: with her. So how is it? How can any person

1235
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 1: make the claim that the Washington Post, for example, which

1236
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:59,879
Speaker 1: refused to report on the allegations against Fairfax, but gleeful

1237
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: reported on all of the Kavanaugh allegations and never referred

1238
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:09,799
Speaker 1: to them as uncorroborated, never referred to them as without evidence,

1239
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 1: which they were. All of the allegations against Kavanaugh were

1240
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: without evidence, a phrase the media loves to use when

1241
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: they talk about Trump Fairfax. There's it's a he said,

1242
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: she said. I don't think we'll ever be able to

1243
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:25,759
Speaker 1: prove it one way or the other. That's what often

1244
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: happens in these situations, but it's not without corroboration or evidence.

1245
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: He said they had sex, they had a relationship, so

1246
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: you know, and she says that she was assaulted. Now

1247
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's sure or not. And by

1248
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 1: the way, I think that fair facts deserves the presumption

1249
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: of innocence here. I think that fair facts should be

1250
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 1: treated fairly in this process because I don't like to

1251
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 1: embrace scummy tactics just because the other side doesn't. But

1252
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to the media and how they're covering this,

1253
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. This is why journals are not the firefighters

1254
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: of democracy. They're the arsonist of democracy. More come and

Speaker 1: and ready for the buck brief. If you look at Afghanistan,

1276
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 1: we're going in very soon, we'll be going into our

1277
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: nineteenth year spending fifty billion dollars a year. Now. If

1278
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: you go back and look at any of my campaign

1279
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: speeches or rallies, I talked about it all the time.

1280
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 1: You did, You've been talking about I support the president

1281
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 1: on this. I think to call it a precipitous withdraw

1282
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 1: after seventeen years is ludicrous. I mean, we've been there

1283
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 1: seventeen years. We need to learn as a country how

1284
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 1: to declare victory. I think the President is steadfast that

1285
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: we need to do things differently, that the foreign policy

1286
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 1: swamp that says we should stay forever at Afghanistan, that

1287
01:14:56,080 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: they're wrong. This is something that I'm exp affecting tonight

1288
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: during the State of the Union. Will get some attention.

1289
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: The President trying to finally get us on the exit

1290
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: ram from Afghanistan. How could anyone say that we haven't

1291
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 1: spent enough time in that country. Look, I've spoken to

1292
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 1: and am in contact with some people that are still downrange,

1293
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: and I have friends on the government side who still

1294
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,639
Speaker 1: come in and out of Afghanistan and are working against

1295
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 1: the Taliban and trying to do what they can. And

1296
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: I understand their personal loyalty to those who are fighting

1297
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:36,600
Speaker 1: alongside us in that conflict. It's a noble thing to

1298
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:39,760
Speaker 1: feel loyalty to people that you have fought alongside and

1299
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: that you have been working with in some cases for many,

1300
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: many years now. But we also need to think of

1301
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: the national interests and national security interests of this country.

1302
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: And frankly, I have a very hard time thinking of

1303
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: a way to justify an endless US presence in Afghanistan.

1304
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: And we should be clear about this. That's what is

1305
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:08,479
Speaker 1: on the table here. We either leave or you know,

1306
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 1: move toward leaving now, or we should just accept that

1307
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: we're going to be there for the rest of my

1308
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,839
Speaker 1: lifetime for sure in some capacity. And that and remember,

1309
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:21,719
Speaker 1: as I said in Syria, a limited presence that seems

1310
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 1: stable and minimal. If any casualties, unlimited presence can become

1311
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 1: a large presence very quickly. You know, a limited presence

1312
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,600
Speaker 1: leads to a much larger one when all of a

1313
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,640
Speaker 1: sudden the whole parts of the country are overrun by insurgents,

1314
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 1: when you have a mass casualty attack. You know, this

1315
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,559
Speaker 1: is you know, Mission Creep, which I would notice something

1316
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 1: that that Democrats in the left we're very familiar with

1317
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: and in favor of until quite recently. It's when Trump

1318
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: is opposed. It's when Trump has a problem with continuing Afghanistan.

1319
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 1: It's when Trump is a posed is staying in Afghanistan indefinitely,

1320
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden you see people on the

1321
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: left having difficulty with the notion of ending this war.

1322
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 1: You know, today we had a spokesperson on rising at

1323
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 1: a spokesperson from the dn CCCCC or something. You know

1324
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 1: that we had a spokesperson on and his whole spiel

1325
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: was exactly what I thought it would be about how

1326
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 1: Democrats want, you know, that they want a government that

1327
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 1: works for all Americans. Have been all the usual, all

1328
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: the usual boilerplate talking points stuff. But I got to

1329
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 1: ask him one question, which is, when you're a Democrat

1330
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: tonight at the State of the Union and the President

1331
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: talks about ending the war in Afghanistan, do you cheer

1332
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: or do you sit? Now, I think the whole cheering

1333
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 1: and sitting thing is is kind of it's kind of

1334
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 1: silly to begin with. So I'm not a big fan

1335
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,639
Speaker 1: of all the pageantry and the pomp and circumstance around

1336
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 1: the State of the Union and those have you been

1337
01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: listening to the show for years now? No this no matter,

1338
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: no matter who's the president. I'm really not a State

1339
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 1: of the Union guy. I don't get that excited about

1340
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: these things. But if you're a Democrat on a matter

1341
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,919
Speaker 1: of war and peace, on a matter of US troops

1342
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 1: in harm's way on a battlefield, and the presis the

1343
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: United States says we're going to end this, don't you

1344
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 1: have an obligation to your own ideology, never mind to

1345
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 1: the troops that you're supposedly hoping will come home, right.

1346
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the left has been anti war for years old,

1347
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:33,600
Speaker 1: you'll notice, and this was to the left tremendous discredit

1348
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 1: that the anti war movement disappeared under the Obama administration,

1349
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: just disappeared. Yeah, there were a few Code Pink types

1350
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 1: who would pop up and scream and be crazy here

1351
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:49,639
Speaker 1: and there, but it was overwhelmingly the case that when

1352
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 1: there was a Democrat president, all of a sudden, no

1353
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: one really cared anymore about the fact that there weren't

1354
01:18:55,520 --> 01:19:00,799
Speaker 1: just troops in harm's way. Obama escalated the US presidents

1355
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan over one hundred thousand soldiers and fought some

1356
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 1: very they fought some very bloody battles in Hellman Province

1357
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:13,799
Speaker 1: in Kandahar in southern Afghanistan, and he escalated while also

1358
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 1: claiming that an imminent de escalation would happen, so he

1359
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 1: sat he set a timetable while setting the escalation in place,

1360
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 1: which you know that that really undercuts your strategy. I

1361
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 1: remember I was on CNN with Bob Barret a few

1362
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,760
Speaker 1: other people doing a panel on this issue, and I said, look,

1363
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 1: there's oh and they had one of these one of

1364
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 1: these pro Hillary left wing generals. A lot of pro

1365
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: Hillary left wing generals they find to put on CNN.

1366
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: I didn't meet any pro Hillary left wing generals in

1367
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 1: Iroc or Afghanistan. I met a lot of generals, but

1368
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,680
Speaker 1: they always find the pro Hillary ones, you know, to

1369
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 1: go on CNN. And you know, one of them was

1370
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 1: just saying, oh, you know, it's not true. And I

1371
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 1: remember Bob Barrett, it was his credit was like, no,

1372
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: it's true. You shouldn't. You shouldn't announce through the enemy. Well,

1373
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 1: if you can just wait till this date, this whole thing,

1374
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 1: all this pressure putting on you, is going to end.

1375
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 1: That hurts your leverage for any negotiation. I mean, if

1376
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,680
Speaker 1: you're going to surge, at least surge, you know, if

1377
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 1: you're going to try to make some change happen on

1378
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: the ground, don't do that after you've said that the

1379
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:19,920
Speaker 1: change is only going to be temporary. But this is

1380
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 1: again what I think shows you that the left is

1381
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: un serious about so many things. And one of the

1382
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: things that the left is unserious about is their anti

1383
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: war position as anything other than a partisan cudgel. Back

1384
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: to Trump, though, I think that he is going to

1385
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 1: end the war in Afghanistan, and I think that things

1386
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:44,760
Speaker 1: could start to go very badly there. We'll see the

1387
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:50,879
Speaker 1: Taliban ascendant and there'll be some shaky power sharing agreement

1388
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 1: between the various factions. You know, here's a perfor example

1389
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: of CNN International. As Trump seeks an exit from Afghanistan,

1390
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 1: Moscow steps in. Well, this is already the case. We

1391
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: are not the only actor in Afghanistan from outside of

1392
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: the country. You got the Iranians playing a very big role,

1393
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: the Pakistani's playing a huge role, the Chinese player role,

1394
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: the Russians player role, that the the Uzbek's player role,

1395
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: the Tajiks player role. I mean, you go down all

1396
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: these different countries, both regional and then global in terms

1397
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: of their reach and scope. All these different countries have

1398
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 1: interest in Afghanistan. They're already pursuing what is orangist. Our

1399
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 1: interest is supposed to be preventing Afghanistan from becoming a

1400
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: haven for terrorist operations against the homeland. Given our quick

1401
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 1: strike capabilities from uh you know, aerial units, from unmanned

1402
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 1: aerial vehicles, you know, from from UAVs with lethal connectic capability.

1403
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:01,600
Speaker 1: Given those pieces that we have and the possibility that

1404
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 1: we could always land a or we could always send

1405
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 1: back in essentially an elite unit if we had to

1406
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 1: as a strike force against some group there. We just

1407
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 1: no longer have this same role to play of trying

1408
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 1: to hold this country together. There are plenty of places

1409
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: that are terrorst safe havens, and we don't lose sleep

1410
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: about them. Right now, Why should we lose sleep about

1411
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,600
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan that is at least partially run by the

1412
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 1: Taliban when it is already the case that there are

1413
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: places in Afghanistan as well as places in Somalia, places

1414
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 1: in Nigeria where there are terrorist strongholds. You know, if

1415
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:42,679
Speaker 1: they run the table and take the whole country over,

1416
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 1: we might have a bit more of a problem. But

1417
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 1: I think the Taliban realizes at some level that it

1418
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 1: was a strategic Now, this doesn't mean they won't do

1419
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: it again, but it was a strategic mistake to play

1420
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: a host to al Qaeda for their own purposes. And

1421
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,719
Speaker 1: you know, any country now that would play a host

1422
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: to a group that would come after us the way

1423
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 1: I'll kidead on nine to eleven would have to understand

1424
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:09,839
Speaker 1: that the wrath and fury of the United States when

1425
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: it is attacked in that way is something to be

1426
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 1: truly afraid of. And if we had to go back

1427
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:21,639
Speaker 1: into Afghanistan, I think that the destruction that we would

1428
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:27,440
Speaker 1: that we would be willing to unleash, would would dwarf

1429
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: what has been the case in the US occupation of

1430
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:34,719
Speaker 1: that country, and was the case even the Soviets. Essentially,

1431
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 1: if we have to go back, there's not going to

1432
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 1: be a whole lot left standing. I think it's really

1433
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: the way it's gonna way it's gonna shake out. And

1434
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 1: I think the Taliban at some level probably knows that

1435
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 1: Taliban are very bad guys, But there are very bad

1436
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:48,679
Speaker 1: guys in a lot of countries, in the Muslim world

1437
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:51,599
Speaker 1: and in the broader world. So we can't make all

1438
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: this our problem. I think Trump's move here, if he

1439
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:56,839
Speaker 1: follows through, is the right one. I think the Senate

1440
01:23:56,880 --> 01:24:01,559
Speaker 1: rebuking him with this bill just shows how stale they

1441
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:05,439
Speaker 1: are in their foreign policy thinking and how they really

1442
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:09,680
Speaker 1: have become disconnected from what is perpetual war. And the

1443
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 1: US has been at war since I was a sophomore

1444
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:15,680
Speaker 1: in college. It's time to start ending this stuff, and

1445
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: I think Trump is the man to do it, and

1446
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 1: I hope he says so tonight during the State of

1447
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 1: the Union. You are days away my friends from Valentine's Day.

1448
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:28,840
Speaker 1: Do not wait. You know some places are going to

1449
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: have a hard time, even if they're local, just getting

1450
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 1: the delivery out on the day and nobody wants Valentine's

1451

Speaker 1: Day flowers the day after. Do it right with my

Speaker 1: you these roses are incredible. I'm sending her a couple

1468
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: to hear my weak sauce analysis of is Tom Brady

1469
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 1: the Goat? That's not why I'm here. We've got something else, though,

1470
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 1: that I want to bring to your attention. Is there

1471
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:42,599
Speaker 1: discrimination against certain political or just even general viewpoints when

1472
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 1: it comes to Super Bowl ads that Willem will not

1473
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:49,759
Speaker 1: be accepted. Is there an anti conservative, even antipatriotic bias?

1474
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:52,599
Speaker 1: I know it sound like Radioman right now. To answer

1475
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 1: all that stuff, we have our friend Tyler Merit in

1476
01:25:55,479 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: the house. He is the CEO of nine Line Apparel maker,

1477
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 1: a fantastic T shirts, hoodie, sweatshirts, all the rest of it.

1478
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 1: Mister Tyler Merrit, great to have you back. Thank thank

1479
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,839
Speaker 1: you so much for having us back. Yeah. Man, Tyler's

1480
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: also a badass veteran Apache pilot. It's got cool stories.

1481
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:13,759
Speaker 1: So you guys can all you know, send him emails

1482
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:15,640
Speaker 1: and he'll tell you stuff. Go visit them down in

1483
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:20,799
Speaker 1: Savannah at the nine Line Apparel factory and store. But Tyler,

1484
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 1: you tried to get a Super Bowl ad, and I'm

1485
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 1: seeing here that there were some problems with accepting your

1486
01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:32,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ad requests. Walk us through this. Yeah, there's

1487
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 1: definitely some extreme buy it's going on. The stated reason

1488
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 1: for denying the ad was credit. And I do a

1489
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 1: lot of credit background checks because I deal with millions

1490
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 1: and million dollars in the apparel purchasing. And not to

1491
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: be braggadocious, you know, but I gave them our Bank

1492
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 1: America president's cell phone number, his email address. They could

1493
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 1: validate the money we have in our bank account. We

1494
01:26:56,200 --> 01:27:00,000
Speaker 1: could have prepaid, but instead, you know, two days before

1495
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl ad was supposed to or needed to air,

1496
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:05,680
Speaker 1: we got a letter saying that we have denied your

1497
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,759
Speaker 1: ad based on credit. The only person they actually called

1498
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:13,519
Speaker 1: was a person with a Hannity dot com email address,

1499
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 1: and their response was to one question, does Tyler, Merritt

1500
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 1: or NIMNIPORL have paid their bills on time and you know,

1501
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 1: on a repetitive basis, And answer was yes, you know,

1502
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:29,640
Speaker 1: we fair bills jack. All of our you know, advertisers

1503
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 1: or anyone that we work with will say the same thing.

1504
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 1: So it's kind of adding insulter injuries. You're saying that

1505
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 1: I can't have an ad because I don't have credit

1506
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: without validating it. It's just the nicest way of saying,

1507
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,680
Speaker 1: we don't want to play your ad. Now, what was

1508
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:46,600
Speaker 1: the ad supposed to be? I mean, was this going

1509
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 1: to be something that, oh, no, celebrated the troops in America? Tyler,

1510
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 1: how dare you? Which is weird because the NFL is

1511
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: supposed to like both of those things. Yeah, I think

1512
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 1: there's a difference between what they're trying to do in

1513
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:01,760
Speaker 1: terms of play keating to their audience. They know that

1514
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:06,000
Speaker 1: their audience is patriotic in nature. They understand that they,

1515
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,679
Speaker 1: being some of the social elites that are in charge

1516
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 1: of the NFL, they might not necessarily believe in the

1517
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 1: same values of their customers. So they do like to

1518
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 1: subvert and change the narrative. And that's my hypothesis. I

1519
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: don't have any definitive proof, but I do know for

1520
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 1: a fact that if given the opportunity to put a

1521
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 1: pro patriotic advertisement on an NFL sporting event, I'll prepay.

1522
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 1: So if that's the case that you're going to deny

1523
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:36,680
Speaker 1: my ad based on a lack of funds when there

1524
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 1: were available funds, then just allow me the opportunity to prepay.

1525
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: I'll pay in advance, and then we will be able

1526
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:47,480
Speaker 1: to present some ads that are counter to the Nike propaganda,

1527
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:50,720
Speaker 1: the idea that a Colin Kaepernick represents all that is

1528
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 1: good sacrifice in this nation. Our ad depicted real heroes,

1529
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,599
Speaker 1: being Ghazi survivor Mark Geist was the narrator. The other

1530
01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 1: individuals you couldn't see, but he is missing his legs.

1531
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 1: He's an eod hero who lost both his legs overseas.

1532
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 1: And then the last individual is an employee of Mind,

1533
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,840
Speaker 1: former range of Retalian Purple Heart recipient. You know, these

1534
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 1: are real Americans. Maybe it wasn't the production quality of Nike,

1535
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:18,719
Speaker 1: but it got to the heart of what we represent,

1536
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 1: which is true sacrifice. And really what we were saying

1537
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:25,960
Speaker 1: is that you have the right to be an idiot.

1538
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,600
Speaker 1: You have a right to take a knee during the

1539
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:31,519
Speaker 1: national anthem. It's all right to say that. You know,

1540
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:34,519
Speaker 1: the ends don't justify the needs. Using that as a

1541
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:37,720
Speaker 1: platform is wrong, however you want to spin it. And

1542
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:40,639
Speaker 1: if you want to call me racist, that's just ignorant.

1543
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 1: Do you, guys, do you come up against this in

1544
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 1: other contexts where see here's the thing I mean from

1545
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,880
Speaker 1: an outside or non veteran perspective. People feel like, well,

1546
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:53,559
Speaker 1: everybody in America supports and respects veterans, right, But you

1547
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 1: know your organization, yes, you help veterans. You're all about

1548
01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:58,600
Speaker 1: first responders too. You've been a sponsor here on the

1549
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 1: show in the past. But you know, you take what

1550
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 1: are in some contexts considered a political point of view.

1551
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:08,280
Speaker 1: Whether we call out that or not, I mean it's true, right,

1552
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean you're pro Second Amendment. Well, that obviously sets

1553
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:13,760
Speaker 1: off certain alarm bells for certain people. Do you ever

1554
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:15,640
Speaker 1: feel like you come up against even though you're a

1555
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 1: veteran owned and operated company, you got a bunch of

1556
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: former combat vets working for you and with you and

1557
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 1: partnering with you. Do you feel like there are some

1558
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:26,240
Speaker 1: corporate folks that they won't be overt about it, but

1559
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:30,720
Speaker 1: they got a problem with what you represent. Absolutely, and

1560
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 1: I think that's perfectly fine. You know that Nike chose

1561
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:37,720
Speaker 1: to double down with what they considers their demographic maybe

1562
01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:40,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more or less leaning, but it's an

1563
01:30:40,439 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 1: opportunity for other individuals and other companies to come out

1564
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,719
Speaker 1: there and say, you know, we don't agree with your messaging.

1565
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 1: I agree that the Second amendment should be upheld. I

1566
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:53,439
Speaker 1: agree that first amendments should be upheld. All the amendments

1567
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:56,800
Speaker 1: should be upheld. There's just different interpretations. Its freedom of

1568
01:30:56,840 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 1: speech is taking a knee and burning a flag, absolutely

1569
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:02,599
Speaker 1: freedom of speeches calling someone an idiot for doing those

1570
01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 1: things as well. So you're allowed to do just about

1571
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 1: anything you want to do. That's what I love about

1572
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:10,800
Speaker 1: this country. But I have the ability to say I

1573
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:13,920
Speaker 1: don't agree with you, and here's why. And because you

1574
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:16,360
Speaker 1: put out this messaging, I'm going to put out the

1575
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:20,639
Speaker 1: other side's perspective and then hopefully we can come together

1576
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 1: and a venue like this and have a cordial conversation.

1577
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:26,959
Speaker 1: That's the idea. That's the whole purpose of our company

1578
01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 1: is to be a voice for the veterans, be a

1579
01:31:30,280 --> 01:31:33,440
Speaker 1: voice for the first responders. And we have a platform

1580
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:37,200
Speaker 1: and will use it if I can just something specific,

1581
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:41,080
Speaker 1: something much less important but of interest. How much would

1582
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:44,680
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl out of costed? Oh, we didn't even

1583
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 1: get to that point. They don't even publish their rates

1584
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:52,720
Speaker 1: until after they approve, approve the content and approved that

1585
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 1: you can afford it. But it's kind of hard to

1586
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:59,080
Speaker 1: deny someone for credit without even telling them how much

1587
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:01,160
Speaker 1: it is, and we had a second, a thirty second,

1588
01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:03,800
Speaker 1: and a forty five second, depending on what the costs were.

1589
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 1: And it turns out afterwards that it was about five

1590
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:11,800
Speaker 1: million dollars for a forty five second ad. Yeah, I

1591
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:13,679
Speaker 1: probably would have cut it down to a thirty second,

1592
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:15,920
Speaker 1: but I did have money in our rank account to

1593
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:19,680
Speaker 1: cover that check. And if anyone wants to call me

1594
01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 1: a liar, then I'm happy to introduce you to my

1595
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 1: Bank of America president and he can show you. Now,

1596
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's gonna do that, man. I think

1597
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 1: we all know what happened here, which is once again,

1598
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:34,280
Speaker 1: certain messages are welcome in the marketplace. And in this case, though,

1599
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 1: I think NFL fans would be pretty unhappy to know

1600
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:39,880
Speaker 1: that a veteran owned and operated company was maybe getting

1601
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:42,479
Speaker 1: shut out of, you know, being you know that your

1602
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 1: money was no good apparently at the at the Super

1603
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:49,040
Speaker 1: Bowl my friend Tyler Merritt. So we're getting the word

1604
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 1: out here though, and everyone should go check out nine

1605
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:54,920
Speaker 1: line apparel dot com T shirt sweatshirts. I actually a

1606
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 1: true story having nine Line Apparel T shirt on as

1607
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:01,080
Speaker 1: I am doing the show, So you have it Tyler,

1608
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:03,120
Speaker 1: merrit everybody. Tyler, thanks so much for joining my friend.

1609
01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:07,479
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you soon. You're the best. Thanks man Seem.

1610
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:10,040
Speaker 1: We'll be back and getting a roll call shortly. Stay

1611
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:14,800
Speaker 1: with me. It's not an incredibly important story in the

1612
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:19,760
Speaker 1: national scope, but caught my attention. I wanted to share

1613
01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:21,880
Speaker 1: it with you before we get ready to get into

1614
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:27,800
Speaker 1: roll call here. And it's about a community patrol that

1615
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:31,800
Speaker 1: is in New York City, in my hometown that is

1616
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:37,800
Speaker 1: a Muslim community patrol. And the Muslim community patrol is

1617
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:42,960
Speaker 1: privately funded and it drives around in a part of

1618
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:48,840
Speaker 1: Brooklyn with what are patrol cars that you would not

1619
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 1: easily be able to tell or non in fact police cars.

1620
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:57,080
Speaker 1: These are just private vehicles that are in the painted

1621
01:33:57,760 --> 01:34:01,880
Speaker 1: in you know, the the manner of a police car.

1622
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:06,120
Speaker 1: So essentially, you've got guys who are a religious a

1623
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 1: religiously affiliated organization who are going to be driving around

1624
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:14,760
Speaker 1: and saying that they are providing saying they're providing assistance

1625
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:17,680
Speaker 1: to the police like a normal community watch. Would I

1626
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 1: get that, But you know, this just strikes some people.

1627
01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:24,400
Speaker 1: And I know, oh, I know they're gonna say, oh, buckets,

1628
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:27,880
Speaker 1: all islamophobia. But Why why can't you just do a

1629
01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:30,880
Speaker 1: community watch for people that live in the community. Why

1630
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:35,479
Speaker 1: call it a Muslim community patrol? Why not just say

1631
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: it's a community patrol. That doesn't seem that strange to me. Now,

1632
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:43,559
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I know there are other groups and what

1633
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 1: there's Guardian Angels, But Guardian Angels is not, a to

1634
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:55,040
Speaker 1: my knowledge, a religious organization. This is not a sanctioned

1635
01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 1: group by any government body. And yet they're going to

1636
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:00,880
Speaker 1: be driving around in a ca are that is made

1637
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 1: to look it says Muslim Community Patrol on the side,

1638
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 1: and it looks like a cop car. So you know,

1639
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:08,439
Speaker 1: they may say they don't have a badge or a gun,

1640
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:12,559
Speaker 1: but there's going to be at least some sense that

1641
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 1: they have the force of law. I mean, a normal

1642
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 1: person seeing this is in New York. Okay, this is

1643
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:20,080
Speaker 1: in New York City. This is not some overseas thing.

1644
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:25,719
Speaker 1: This is a little uh. I think people are allowed

1645
01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:28,560
Speaker 1: to look at this and just ask some some questions.

1646
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:32,200
Speaker 1: Now there's there is, as they put out here in

1647
01:35:32,240 --> 01:35:35,680
Speaker 1: this piece, the schum Rim, which patrols it's a Hasidic

1648
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:42,320
Speaker 1: neighborhood patrol, and the Brooklyn Asian Safety Patrol that operates

1649
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 1: in Sunset Park. And you know there's a free association

1650
01:35:45,320 --> 01:35:48,000
Speaker 1: issue here. I get that people are allowed to get

1651
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 1: together and patrol around, but this the Muslim community patrol

1652
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:55,880
Speaker 1: for one. It's you know, I'm even more. You know,

1653
01:35:55,960 --> 01:35:59,439
Speaker 1: I can understand a geographic region, you know, Asian. Yes,

1654
01:35:59,439 --> 01:36:01,479
Speaker 1: it's an ethnic city, but it's also a continent. It's

1655
01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 1: a huge area. And you know the showm Rim that

1656
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 1: patrols the Hasidic neighborhood in Brooklyn. You know, a community

1657
01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:12,880
Speaker 1: community patrol is fine. I get it. It's just when

1658
01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 1: you are looking like a police car and you're driving

1659
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:22,440
Speaker 1: around in a neighborhood and wearing very official looking uniforms,

1660
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:24,439
Speaker 1: I think it starts to blurt some lines. Now they

1661
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:32,840
Speaker 1: have they have no official, official powers, but it's just

1662
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:35,639
Speaker 1: I can't lie to you. It strikes me a little strange,

1663
01:36:35,680 --> 01:36:39,520
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure I'm okay with any religious specific patrol.

1664
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:41,720
Speaker 1: That's Remember, I'm not saying you can't walk around your

1665
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:44,160
Speaker 1: neighborhood and make sure that everyone's safe. You know. That said,

1666
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:49,479
Speaker 1: it's intended to mimic police. If you saw this photo,

1667
01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:51,599
Speaker 1: you'd see what I mean. It's intended to look like

1668
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:55,800
Speaker 1: a police patrol, and I think that we're starting to

1669
01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:58,800
Speaker 1: get up against a line there. No, I gotta think

1670
01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about this one a little bit more. But

1671
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:05,160
Speaker 1: obviously the and this is where the Islamophobia would come in.

1672
01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:07,320
Speaker 1: The left would say everything else, But they have this

1673
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:10,080
Speaker 1: in the Muslim world. They have a lot of non

1674
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:14,559
Speaker 1: police patrols or patrols that have police power but aren't

1675
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:18,240
Speaker 1: standard police, their religious police in the sense that they

1676
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:23,720
Speaker 1: enforce religious norms. I just wonder if in some of

1677
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:28,960
Speaker 1: these neighborhoods you could ever see a situation unfolding. Maybe

1678
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:31,600
Speaker 1: it's with the Hasidic patrol, or maybe it's with the

1679
01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:35,679
Speaker 1: Muslim patrol where they start to do a little more,

1680
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, social and cultural patrolling than they do public

1681
01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:44,120
Speaker 1: safety stuff. And I don't know about that. People would

1682
01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:46,760
Speaker 1: say in bok you know, a militia. This is a

1683
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:50,000
Speaker 1: It's a more complicated topic than it seems at first. Right,

1684
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:51,879
Speaker 1: we are citizens. We have the right to defend ourselves,

1685
01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:54,040
Speaker 1: to be sure, But do we have the right to

1686
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 1: form a little group that dresses like cops but doesn't

1687
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:01,639
Speaker 1: actually have guns or badges, but goes around and presents

1688
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 1: themselves to look like police. I mean, you could not

1689
01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:07,360
Speaker 1: tell that this Muslim community patrol was not a cop

1690
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 1: card NYPD car unless you look closely at it and

1691
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:14,240
Speaker 1: you're within i'd say fifty feet of it, you would

1692
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:19,559
Speaker 1: not know. So are we cool with that? I'm just

1693
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:21,200
Speaker 1: putting it out there. If you haven't seen, it's in

1694
01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:24,479
Speaker 1: the New York Times. It's an interesting story, and I'm

1695
01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:26,360
Speaker 1: sure if you look in the comments section you'll see

1696
01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 1: a whole lot of interesting analysis. But I have a

1697
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:31,800
Speaker 1: feeling you're going to see more of these. And as

1698
01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:36,719
Speaker 1: we talk about our very multicultural and diverse society, when

1699
01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 1: do we not think it's a good thing for communities

1700
01:38:39,840 --> 01:38:43,800
Speaker 1: to set up kind of a self policing that is

1701
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:48,360
Speaker 1: based on a religious identity or or any kind of

1702
01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 1: specific identity. Well, we'll see. We got roll call coming up.

1703
01:38:55,840 --> 01:39:05,479
Speaker 1: The show keeping it real, It's time for roll call.

1704
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:21,160
Speaker 1: The State of the Union Night is the craziest party

1705
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 1: in all the land. In all the land, It's like

1706
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm in a fairytale. That's not really what I meant

1707
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:30,280
Speaker 1: to say. In all the us of A, I don't

1708
01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 1: know something like that. That's right tonight, I'm gonna be

1709
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:38,400
Speaker 1: hanging out at the Trump h Q, which is the

1710
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:41,599
Speaker 1: Trump Hotel. I'll be there with some friends watching the

1711
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:43,280
Speaker 1: State of the Union. There'll be a State of the

1712
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:48,679
Speaker 1: Union watching party. In effect, should be good times. So

1713
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:51,920
Speaker 1: that's my plan for tonight. I got that going for me,

1714
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:55,120
Speaker 1: which is nice. In fact, as soon as I am

1715
01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:58,480
Speaker 1: finished here, I'm going to be right over there. Unfortunately

1716
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:02,160
Speaker 1: for me, that Trump Hotel is about a five minute

1717
01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:06,040
Speaker 1: walk from where I am doing this radio show. The

1718
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:08,519
Speaker 1: Hill and the Trump Hotel are not far apart. So

1719
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:12,360
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Your thoughts before the State of

1720
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 1: the Union hapons Connor rites buck great point on Monday's

1721
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:21,639
Speaker 1: show about the impossibility of a classless society. I think

1722
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:24,720
Speaker 1: what those champions of socialism often forget is that capitalism

1723
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:27,639
Speaker 1: is what allows nonprofit and charitable groups to help those

1724
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:30,880
Speaker 1: in need. Everything from food banks to the Red Cross

1725
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:35,320
Speaker 1: to church missions are funded by the fruits of capitalism.

1726
01:40:35,360 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 1: This doesn't even count the good deeds done by individuals

1727
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:42,000
Speaker 1: across America. In a socialist society, nobody has any extra

1728
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 1: wealth to use for good or otherwise. Indeed, that's an

1729
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 1: important point that you make, my friend, and yes, it

1730
01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 1: is the incredible abundance and wealth of a capitalist society

1731
01:40:57,840 --> 01:41:01,080
Speaker 1: that makes it possible for us to be as generous.

1732
01:41:01,080 --> 01:41:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the American people, for example, are much more

1733
01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 1: generous on an individual basis, and all the studies have

1734
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:12,120
Speaker 1: shown this than our European counterparts. That's right. The French,

1735
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:14,880
Speaker 1: he's look, oh, we can't so much ligian. But they

1736
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:18,519
Speaker 1: don't want to give ze franks to the people because

1737
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 1: I want to keep out of the francs for myself

1738
01:41:22,040 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 1: by extra buttles of red wine. May we, mademoiselle the

1739
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 1: red wine? Okay? Stop stop buck, get a grip, Get

1740
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,400
Speaker 1: a grip son read a shiltie Buck. Just thinking about

1741
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 1: Don Lemon, Gladys Knight and Kaepernick. Is it possible that

1742
01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:44,360
Speaker 1: Kaepernick feels guilty because he is adopted and therefore has

1743
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: some form of white privilege. As a boy raised by

1744
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:51,120
Speaker 1: a single mother, he would have a vastly different outcome statistically,

1745
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 1: so he feels fake. I drove by a medical school

1746
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:55,720
Speaker 1: for thirty years. I'm away to work, so I feel

1747
01:41:55,800 --> 01:42:00,240
Speaker 1: qualified to diagnose his problem. Well, Rita, I'm not. I'm

1748
01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: qualified to analyze your diagnosis, so I'll just let it

1749
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:08,679
Speaker 1: speak for itself. David shield hie Buck Podcast listener Love

1750
01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 1: the show. Honestly, I think you're giving outfits like Washington

1751
01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:15,360
Speaker 1: Compost too much credit for referring to them as journalists

1752
01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:18,840
Speaker 1: like they do to themselves. We do need journalists, peopleho

1753
01:42:18,840 --> 01:42:20,600
Speaker 1: spread the truth, no matter what it is. What we

1754
01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:24,400
Speaker 1: don't need a propagandist, which is what the mainstream media is. CNN, MSNBC,

1755
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:26,960
Speaker 1: New York Times, Wappo, and huff Post are all just

1756
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:30,960
Speaker 1: propagandists for the d n C. They know their audience

1757
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:33,559
Speaker 1: knows it, and everybody knows they know it. You know, David,

1758
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:38,000
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think you're right that we

1759
01:42:38,160 --> 01:42:42,680
Speaker 1: do need journalists. If journalists were what they're supposed to be,

1760
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:45,080
Speaker 1: or if a journalist is what he or she's supposed

1761
01:42:45,080 --> 01:42:48,400
Speaker 1: to be, which is a person who brings facts in

1762
01:42:48,439 --> 01:42:53,120
Speaker 1: the form of stories, you know, information without fear or favor,

1763
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:55,680
Speaker 1: provided to the people so that they can know what

1764
01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:58,680
Speaker 1: is going on. That's a very important role. But there

1765
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:01,280
Speaker 1: are a lot of ways that that happened now that

1766
01:43:01,439 --> 01:43:06,400
Speaker 1: do not involve traditional journalist journalistic endeavors. I'm not saying

1767
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:10,360
Speaker 1: that makes journalism completely moot. It doesn't mean that it's

1768
01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:13,719
Speaker 1: all null and void, but you diagnose the problem properly.

1769
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:16,920
Speaker 1: The problem is that people that say they are journalists

1770
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:22,400
Speaker 1: are increasingly and more and more obviously it's obvious to

1771
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:25,320
Speaker 1: me at least they're activists. These are activists. They are

1772
01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:30,240
Speaker 1: not really journalists. And that's that's really why I don't

1773
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:34,040
Speaker 1: have respect for what they're saying. There's this guy, this

1774
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:36,040
Speaker 1: is this is real, this is I have to tell

1775
01:43:36,040 --> 01:43:37,840
Speaker 1: you about this. I haven't mentioned this yet before on

1776
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:41,040
Speaker 1: the show. So there have been all these layoffs from

1777
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:43,960
Speaker 1: the Huffington Post and BuzzFeed. A lot of people get fired,

1778
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:48,240
Speaker 1: and I I will agree with with the sentiment because

1779
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:52,479
Speaker 1: I share it that it's always a bummer when someone

1780
01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:55,200
Speaker 1: loses their job, and it means puts stress on families

1781
01:43:55,240 --> 01:43:58,000
Speaker 1: and you know, people, you know, are our obligation to

1782
01:43:58,040 --> 01:43:59,800
Speaker 1: each other as human beings is more important than our

1783
01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:04,280
Speaker 1: political obligations. That said, some of the journals who have

1784
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:07,479
Speaker 1: been can from these places, I'm familiar with their work,

1785
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:11,000
Speaker 1: and some of them are always very quick to cheer

1786
01:44:11,080 --> 01:44:14,960
Speaker 1: loudly when a Republican gets boycotted or when or rather

1787
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:19,160
Speaker 1: a conservative media person gets boycotted. You know, they're happy

1788
01:44:18,439 --> 01:44:24,680
Speaker 1: to stomp on our professional grave, so to speak. But

1789
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:26,320
Speaker 1: now we're not supposed to do it to them. I

1790
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:28,400
Speaker 1: understand two wrongs don't make a right, but there is

1791
01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:30,600
Speaker 1: a little part of me that says, you know, I

1792
01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:33,760
Speaker 1: don't think that this same degree of decency would be

1793
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:35,880
Speaker 1: extended from In fact, I know this same degree of

1794
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:42,559
Speaker 1: decency would not be extended from the other side. They, though,

1795
01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 1: have also decided that it is unacceptable to tell journalists

1796
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:53,680
Speaker 1: learn to code. Now, this is kind of an insidery

1797
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:58,640
Speaker 1: joke because journalists for years now, and some of you

1798
01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: may have seen this. When ever there are layoffs and

1799
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:03,600
Speaker 1: a manufacturing plant, they'll say, well, you know, maybe they

1800
01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 1: just learn how to code, meaning they need to learn

1801
01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 1: computer programming so that they can have a job for

1802
01:45:09,320 --> 01:45:12,240
Speaker 1: the future, the jobs of the future, right, and learn

1803
01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:18,040
Speaker 1: to code became this kind of snide journalism shorthand for

1804
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, why don't you you silly, you know, backwoods, ignorant, illiterate,

1805
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:26,679
Speaker 1: red stater, Why don't you learn how to do something

1806
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 1: valuable like learn how to computer code, which, by the way,

1807
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:32,160
Speaker 1: for most people is something that is it's going to

1808
01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:34,000
Speaker 1: be hard for them to learn, and it's a skill.

1809
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:36,599
Speaker 1: It's not like learning to drive, where once you learn

1810
01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:41,320
Speaker 1: you've learned. It's a skill one that is in demand,

1811
01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:43,880
Speaker 1: but only if you're particularly good at it. Anyway, a

1812
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:46,680
Speaker 1: lot of people were saying to these journalists learn to

1813
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:50,160
Speaker 1: code on Twitter as a kind of yeah, that's right,

1814
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:51,879
Speaker 1: maybe you should have a little taste your own medicine.

1815
01:45:52,280 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 1: Twitter has banned telling journalists who have been fired learned

1816
01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:00,880
Speaker 1: to code. That's right. Learn to code is now a

1817
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:04,439
Speaker 1: microaggression or not even I guess it's a macroaggression that

1818
01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:07,960
Speaker 1: can get you suspended from Twitter. And some guy named

1819
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 1: Ben Popkin from NBC News This is guy's a verified account.

1820
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:16,360
Speaker 1: He wrote learned to code was tweeted at me by

1821
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:19,760
Speaker 1: an account I reported it as abusive behavior as part

1822
01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:24,680
Speaker 1: of targeted harassment. Twitter suspended the account within twenty minutes. Journalists,

1823
01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:27,400
Speaker 1: if they tweet learned to code that you don't stay silent,

1824
01:46:27,720 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 1: take a moment to report it. You've got to be

1825
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:34,479
Speaker 1: kidding me. I mean, these are the same folks, these

1826
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:37,519
Speaker 1: journal this guy's at NBC News. These are the same

1827
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:40,760
Speaker 1: journals who tell us they're so brave they're actually out

1828
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:44,320
Speaker 1: there doing the equivalent for our democracy of storming the

1829
01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:48,080
Speaker 1: beaches of Normandy. And by that I mean taking out

1830
01:46:48,160 --> 01:46:51,800
Speaker 1: congressional staffers to lunch so that they can feed their

1831
01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:57,360
Speaker 1: propaganda through their various news organizations and pretend that they're unbiased, right,

1832
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,479
Speaker 1: that's really what they do. But they pretend that they're

1833
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:03,400
Speaker 1: so brave, even so wonderful, and so good. And we

1834
01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:06,479
Speaker 1: will just have to see how it goes from here.

1835
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm amazed. I'm amazed that learn to code is now

1836
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:17,559
Speaker 1: considered abusive. You cannot give journalists. There's such a bunch

1837
01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:19,559
Speaker 1: of snowflakes. I know it's a term, it's fallen out

1838
01:47:19,560 --> 01:47:21,400
Speaker 1: of favor now, but journalists are such a bunch of

1839
01:47:21,439 --> 01:47:27,200
Speaker 1: snowflakes that you cannot give them professional advice about maybe

1840
01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:29,519
Speaker 1: what they should consider doing with their careers. That is

1841
01:47:29,560 --> 01:47:32,479
Speaker 1: now considered beyond the pale. Tells you a lot about

1842
01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 1: the state of modern journalism, my man, TJ. Wrights Buck.

1843
01:47:37,439 --> 01:47:39,720
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I think I sense a

1844
01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:42,200
Speaker 1: little bit of jealousy coming from Jamal this morning about

1845
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:44,880
Speaker 1: your beard. Perhaps he's just jealous of the hair on

1846
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 1: your head in general. Way to keep her cool and

1847
01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:49,439
Speaker 1: not serve him a sick burn, which I'm sure you

1848
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:52,720
Speaker 1: could do pretty easily, well, thank you, TJ. I try

1849
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:59,519
Speaker 1: to be very cordial and particularly tolerant when dealing with

1850
01:47:59,560 --> 01:48:01,960
Speaker 1: all the rules on the show Rising, of which I

1851
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:05,639
Speaker 1: am co host. But you know, the beard, The beard's

1852
01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 1: coming in pretty nice. I gotta say it's getting a

1853
01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:11,479
Speaker 1: little redder, although in a sad moment, there are a

1854
01:48:11,479 --> 01:48:13,439
Speaker 1: couple of grays in there. I got a couple of

1855
01:48:13,439 --> 01:48:15,880
Speaker 1: grays in my beard. I'd like to think that it's

1856
01:48:15,920 --> 01:48:20,519
Speaker 1: some kind of follicular abnormality that does not have to

1857
01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:23,840
Speaker 1: do with me getting up there. But that's right, yours

1858
01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:28,479
Speaker 1: truly is now officially a gray beard millennial because I

1859
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 1: got gray in my beard. So things are things you

1860
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:34,720
Speaker 1: know in flux. At times there are changing. It's a

1861
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:38,360
Speaker 1: crazy world we live in here, my friends, where Man,

1862
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:40,000
Speaker 1: it feels like I was just a young buck a

1863
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:42,599
Speaker 1: day ago, and now here I am pulling gray hairs

1864
01:48:42,600 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 1: out of my beard. Although it looks it looks kind

1865
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:49,000
Speaker 1: of distinguished. Maybe hopefully that would be a nice thing

1866
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:54,840
Speaker 1: if it looked distinguished. Tammy writes, Hi Buck, not sure

1867
01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:56,880
Speaker 1: if this is where you ask questions, but I have one.

1868
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm struggling in New York or who can hardly dan

1869
01:49:00,240 --> 01:49:01,800
Speaker 1: to stay in the state anymore. But I'm a small

1870
01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:03,760
Speaker 1: business owner, for it's hard for me to pick up

1871
01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:07,519
Speaker 1: and move. I'm so morally conflicted with everything that Cuomo does.

1872
01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:09,800
Speaker 1: And this is my question. How is it that there

1873
01:49:09,800 --> 01:49:12,479
Speaker 1: are representatives and they're legally allowed to make up any

1874
01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:14,719
Speaker 1: laws and enforce them to the people. Yet they're supposed

1875
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:17,040
Speaker 1: to be representing them at the same time. What if

1876
01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:20,040
Speaker 1: next year Cuomo says every other child you have must

1877
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:22,920
Speaker 1: be exterminated, then is it a law? I know that's

1878
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:25,280
Speaker 1: taking it to the extremes. When you live under the

1879
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:28,639
Speaker 1: if you're pro life, pro traditional marriage, pro handgun, then

1880
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:30,559
Speaker 1: we have no place for you on our state. You

1881
01:49:30,600 --> 01:49:33,680
Speaker 1: need to leave tyranny. That's quite a mouthful. I have

1882
01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:36,880
Speaker 1: to wonder where it ends. Tammy Well, that's really why

1883
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:39,280
Speaker 1: people have been so outraged by the New York and

1884
01:49:39,400 --> 01:49:42,200
Speaker 1: Virginia bills. Of the New York Bill pass Virginia bill.

1885
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 1: I believe it's still yet to pass, because the legalization

1886
01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:51,080
Speaker 1: of infanticide is not only a moral disgrace, it begins

1887
01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:57,280
Speaker 1: to kick open far too wide the possibility of further

1888
01:49:57,400 --> 01:50:01,479
Speaker 1: degradations of morality through the law, and the law is

1889
01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:04,280
Speaker 1: supposed to be an instrument of morality people. Asa. No,

1890
01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:07,120
Speaker 1: it's not. We don't legislate morality. Really, I'm pretty sure

1891
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:10,519
Speaker 1: killing people's an issue of morality. It's not. We have

1892
01:50:10,600 --> 01:50:13,040
Speaker 1: laws against murder, not because it hurts the economy when

1893
01:50:13,080 --> 01:50:15,680
Speaker 1: someone gets killed. All right, team, that's gonna be it

1894
01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:18,519
Speaker 1: for me for today, have a great State of the Union.

1895
01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:23,320
Speaker 1: I'll be waving to you from Trump hotel shield tie. Yes,

1896
01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:28,280
Speaker 1: there's the AARP out there as an organization for seniors.

1897
01:50:28,280 --> 01:50:30,320
Speaker 1: But you know, even if you're a member or somebody

1898
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:31,960
Speaker 1: who knows a member, I want to tell you some stuff.

1899
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:38,200
Speaker 1: AARP is left wing. They're about statism, Obamacare, progressive policies.

1900
01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 1: Is that what you're about? Because if the answer is no,

1901
01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:42,959
Speaker 1: I want you to check out my friends at AMAC.

1902
01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:48,320
Speaker 1: AMAC is the conservative alternative to AARP, and it brings

1903
01:50:48,320 --> 01:50:50,840
Speaker 1: a lot of value for its members, including discounts on

1904
01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:55,560
Speaker 1: car insurance, hotels, roadside assistance, and it advocates for seniors

1905
01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:59,679
Speaker 1: in ways that align with conservative values. Over one point

1906
01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:02,479
Speaker 1: five million Americans have already joined AMAC, and that number

1907
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:03,880
Speaker 1: is growing and I want you to be a part

1908
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:06,840
Speaker 1: of that growing number. So stand with AMAC as they

1909
01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:09,559
Speaker 1: fight the good fight by becoming a member today. The

1910
01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:12,160
Speaker 1: benefits are great, but the cause is even greater. Tell
