1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Attorney General has been 2 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: held in contempt of Congress by the mad Democrats. They 3 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: have completely lost it. They are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome. 4 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: And now we find out that there's a Senate committee 5 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: that wants to bring Donald Trump Junior in. What is 6 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: this weaponization of the law by the left going to 7 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: turn into? Then also updates on North Korea, China, Venezuela, 8 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: and so much more coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. 9 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 10 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with passionable intelligence. 11 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again the 12 00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Seton no. 13 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: Do you agree with Chairman Nadler of the country is 14 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: currently in a constitutional crisis? Yes, I do agree with 15 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: Chairman Nadler because the administration has decided that they are 16 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: not going to honor their oath of office. When we're ready, 17 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: we'll come to the floor and we'll just see. And 18 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: because there might be some other contempt of Congress issues 19 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: that we want to deal with at the same time, 20 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck Saxon Show. These Democrats are wacko. 21 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: They're led by Waco Pelosi, and she is now declaring 22 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: a constitutional crisis. It is a fake constitutional crisis, and 23 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: if it's anything, it is entirely of the democrats own making. 24 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: It is a deeply, deeply cynical exercise of trying to 25 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: create a problem with the exact They want this showdown 26 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: with the executive branch. They need this showdown with the 27 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: executive branch. I want to gin up some story of 28 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: how Trump is obstructing. Oh there's that word again. You see, 29 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: all they have to do is request documents they're not 30 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: entitled to. And then when they are not given the 31 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: documents to which the Democrats in Congress are not entitled, 32 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: they say they're obstructing. And you say, well, buck, that 33 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: alone isn't enough to do very much. Oh but it 34 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: brings that word back up, doesn't it. It keeps obstruction alive, 35 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: the favorite word of the Democrats, one that you'll be 36 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: hearing so much for the next what is it now, 37 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: eighteen month less than that fifteen months or so that 38 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: you will wish you had never heard obstruction in your life. 39 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: You'll never hear it again in your life. A constitutional 40 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: crisis what exactly is this crisis. Let's break down for 41 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: a moment. The crisis is that the Democrats aren't getting 42 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: unfettered and illegal access to a report that they did not, 43 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: in fact have any remember this friends, any clear ability 44 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: to demand the Special Counsel had to deliver a report. 45 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: Attorney General bar could have said, thank you for the 46 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: confidential report. That's it, goes in a safe see you later. 47 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: No charges came out of it, That's all you need 48 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: to know. Instead, he works with the Special Council, releases 49 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: all but two percent of it, and then that's it. 50 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: That's it. But you see, they're also trying to create 51 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: more than just the obstruction meme, which is what this 52 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: really comes down to. There's also a belief here that 53 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: if they can make up some situation where the President 54 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: won't do exactly what they say. Remember this is found 55 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: him a coequal branch of government. But if the executive 56 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: branch does not dance to the Congress's tune, then they're 57 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: going to start saying how people need to be sent 58 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: to prison. Now this has come up particularly because Donald 59 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: Trump Junior has now been subpoena to appear in front 60 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: of the Senate Intelligence Committee. This is a dishonorable move 61 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: and a Senator Burr should be ashamed of himself. He's 62 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: a hack and he's caving to the Democrat pressure around him. 63 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: But it's dishonorable because Donald Trump Junior agreed to testify 64 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: before and did for I think it was something in 65 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: the six to nine hour range, a long time behind 66 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: closed doors about everything and anything the Senate Intelligence Committee 67 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: wanted to hear. But he did that with the understanding 68 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: that it was a one time deal. This is a 69 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: one off, a one shot, that was the agreement. Now 70 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: they're trying to go back on the agreement because Democrats 71 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: and some Republicans have no honor. They do not honor 72 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: their word. They don't have integrity to protect. That's where 73 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: you get someone like Dick Blumenthal aka Danang Dick running 74 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: around telling us all that if Trump doesn't Trump Junior 75 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: doesn't do exactly as he's told here by the Senate 76 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 1: that has gone back on its word, then he should 77 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: go to prison. Play fifteen. If Donald Trump Junior defies 78 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: the subpoena, he ought to be jailed very simply. He 79 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: has no privilege, He has no right to simply say no. 80 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: He may be the president's son. But he's not about 81 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: the law and he has no privilege whatsoever. Okay, does 82 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: the Senate have the right to subpoena Donald Trump Junior? 83 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, producer Mike told me testify for more than 84 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: twenty five hours, Thanks Mike. Okay, this guy's been through 85 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: it all on the record in front of the Senate. 86 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: He's done at all. But see, this is where the Democrats, 87 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: this is a kind of e Lynskyite approach to the law. 88 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: Just keep harassing, you use the process as a weapon. 89 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,679 Speaker 1: The process is the punishment. I want to ask Danang, 90 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: Dick Bloomenthal, can you subpoena the president son to appear 91 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: every week? Why not? What stops you from from having 92 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: the president's son appear every week? Why not just keep 93 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: doing it as long as the Senate's in session. No, 94 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: we we demand you appear again and again and again. 95 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: We got more questions because these people have no decency, 96 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: no good faith. They don't care what they look like 97 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: to anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex who does not 98 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: suffer from stage six Trump derangement syndrome. Stage six, I'll say, 99 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: is the worst stage. I don't know. Rand Paul understands 100 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: what this is. This is this is harassment of the 101 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: president's family, pure and simple, place sixteen. You know, I 102 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: think it's a very unfortunate thing. I think it's persecution 103 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: of the president's family. We spent thirty five million dollars 104 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: investigating this. This would not go forward without Republican complicity. 105 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: So I think it's a mistake for Republicans to keep 106 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: putting the Trump family through this, and I really think 107 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: they ought to drop it. It's completely over. The investigations 108 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: two years, thirty five million dollars. They said there wasn't 109 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: any any crime. So I think it's time for this 110 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: to be over. Center McConnell has said cases closed. I 111 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: think it's about time all Republicans get on board about 112 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. Let me say this. We are in political 113 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: trench warfare here, friends, there is no middle ground, and 114 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: don't be a Republican who gets stuck out of no 115 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: man's land. We have our trench, the Democrats have theirs. 116 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: There should be no good faith offering of documents of 117 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: testimony of anything. Everything should go through court. Everything should 118 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,239 Speaker 1: be a fight. Make them scrape and scratch and crawl 119 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: and beg and pry from the fingers of those they needed, 120 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: from everything. Make them fight for every little inch, every 121 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: piece of paper, Have them take it to court. This 122 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: is the only thing. Never mind that they will respect, 123 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: that will slow them down. They respect nothing. They respect 124 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: their own pursuit, their own mad desire to take Trump out, 125 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: to defeat him by any means they can. That is 126 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: what we were up against, which means that this administration 127 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: should take an approach commensurate with that insanity, appropriate to 128 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: that level of Trump's arrangement, which is just see you 129 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: in court. You want this, See you in court. You're 130 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: demanding this, See you in court. Trump's a fighter, and 131 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: I think he's in great shape for twenty twenty. But man, 132 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: we have a fight ahead of us. My friends. We've 133 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: got more on this and a whole lot else coming up. 134 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: And for the Republicans, as I said to you in 135 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: a previous meeting, Bar McConnell, Trump, they're a common bond. 136 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: The special interest is in our country, whether it's the 137 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: gun interest, whether it's a fossil fuel industry. Not to 138 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: paint everybody in under those categories with the same brush, 139 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: but I do paint far McConnell and the President with 140 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: the same brush that they are here because they're anti 141 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: governance of any governance role in addressing climate change, addressing 142 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: the epidemic gun bon gun violence in our country. To 143 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: name just two, Nancy Pelosi is an adept politician, but 144 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: intellectually deficient. Not a smart person. Savvy, yes, knowledgeable, wise, 145 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: absolute not Here, you have a classic polosiaism. They are 146 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: opposed to governance. The President's opposed to governance. How much 147 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: more stupid of a statement could someone come up with 148 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: than that the President of the United States, who has 149 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: been to Hell and back in order to become the 150 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: president and is doing a very good job in that role, 151 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: is opposed to governance of any kind. So as she's saying, 152 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: the president, I mean someone if we had a real 153 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: press corps, we didn't have a bunch of lapdogs in 154 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: the media that do whatever the Democrats want them to do, 155 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: and then they think they're also brave, right, they give 156 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: themselves awards. You know, CNN got an award that jerk 157 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: Tapper got an award for the gun violence town hall 158 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: they did after the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, which 159 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: was like a WWE themed you know, throw down against 160 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: the NRA with people hissing and booing and screaming at 161 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: my old league and friend Dana lash CNN got an 162 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: award for that, an award. It should be ashamed. Tapper 163 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: should be ashamed. Yes, that guy's no shape, the biggest, 164 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: biggest phony in all of journalism. Ashamed. But Pelosi Democrats, 165 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: they can count the media to not ask real questions, 166 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: like hold on a second, Nancy Pelosi, you say you 167 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: say there's a post of governments? Are you saying that 168 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: President the United States is an anarchist? Is that really 169 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: what you believe? Are you think Mitch McConnell an establishment 170 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: Republican who has been doing a very good job. You 171 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: can criticize them on a lot of things, but very 172 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: good job getting conservative judges appointed and through or not appointed, 173 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: but getting them through the process. You think that they're 174 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: a post at government. This is just such a such 175 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: a brainless talking point. Again, it's something that only unserious 176 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: people could say out loud. But in so many ways 177 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is at least in actually unserious. And then 178 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: this addressing climate change? What does that mean? Hello? Climate change? 179 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: Would you like some ice cream? That's addressing climate change? 180 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: Are they going to fix it. Well, no, of course not. 181 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: Even if we did everything the Democrat left wants us 182 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: to do, They're not going to fix it. Even if 183 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: we did everything they say we should do, wouldn't even 184 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: come close to fixing it. Addressing climate change, addressing the 185 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: epidemic of gun violence, epidemic of gun violence based on what, 186 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: based on what statistics, we have an we have an 187 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: opioid epidemic in this country, which Democrats are desperately trying 188 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: to avoid talking about in the context of a porous 189 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: border that has huge amounts of illegal drugs manufactured by 190 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: the cartels and then brought across our southern border and 191 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: given to our fellow Americans and cities all across the 192 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: country where they are poisoned to death. Democrats don't want 193 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: you to know that that's that. The seventy thousand plus 194 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: dead we had last year from opiod or overdose, that 195 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: number goes down dramatically if we don't have drugs pouring 196 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: across our border from Mexico, maybe tens of thousands of 197 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: Americans will be alive today who are not alive because 198 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: of the cartels and their criminal their criminal activities that 199 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: involve the poorest nature of our southern border, and then 200 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: I want to talk about that, and then we'll talk 201 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: about the epidemic. Address the epidemic of gun violence, how 202 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: by putting a three day waiting period in place, or 203 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: by limiting people's ability to have more magazines, or rather 204 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: magazines with higher capacity, or more magazines, probably, I'm sure 205 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: they'll love to restrict that too. Democrats don't have any 206 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: good arguments against Trump right now. That's that's what you 207 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: really have to take away from all of this. Their 208 00:13:53,440 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: arguments are effectively orange man bad does Putent's bidding, racist, racist, sexist, memebully, 209 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: tweets bad things not presidential undermines democracy. That's that's their argument. 210 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: None of that is relevant to any of our lives 211 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: in any meaningful way whatsoever. It's either a lie a smear, 212 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: you know. But that's the argument that they have. Their 213 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: argument for why you should not vote for Donald Trump 214 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: is just a series of emotions. It's like a campaign 215 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: of onamatopeia. Yeah, Trump is that that's what they have 216 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: for you. What are they gonna say? Do you think 217 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's gonna do a better job in the economy? 218 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's got better ideas on trade. Don't even get 219 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: me started on all these other ian They got this 220 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: clown car full of all these clowns, which I guess 221 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: is what you have in a clown car. A lot 222 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: of entirely, entirely ridiculous candidates out there. What are their 223 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: big ideas? Medicare for all, wildly expensive, never gonna happen. 224 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. We can talk about it as 225 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: much as we want, it's not gonna happen. You create 226 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: a Medicare for all options. Guess what that all of 227 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: a sudden, every employers like I don't want to pay 228 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to pay your medic your you know, 229 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: health insurance benefits. Now you go go get your Medicare 230 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: for all, Go go pay, go get that. I don't 231 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: want to pay for you anymore. Let that happen. Oh, 232 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: so what happens to private insurance market there? And it collapses, 233 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: it collapses. It's not gonna be Medicare for all. I 234 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: think they can't create to create a true public option 235 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: in that way. It's just that that's just the anti 236 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: chamber to single pair for everybody, meaning that you have 237 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: socialized medicine, and that that's what comes next after that, 238 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: when you're paying for everything you go, we might as 239 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: well control the delivery of the medical goods and services too. 240 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: But what are the big Democrat ideas. It's all just 241 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: based on a hate for Trump. You know. They pretend 242 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: that it was similar under the Obama years. But I was. 243 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: I was working in media during the Obama years, and 244 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: I can tell you this, there were very real objections 245 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: on matters of policy to what Barack Obama was doing. 246 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: The people that opposed the trajectory of the United States 247 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: with Barack Obama's president. Did not like the approach to economics, 248 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: the approach to taxes, the approach to spending you know, 249 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: more money than every president before him combined in terms 250 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: of the debt. Did not like his bowing and apologizing 251 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: foreign policy, did not I mean, these are real things, 252 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: you know. Didn't like Obama Care, didn't like amnesty. Didn't 253 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: you know, these are things that we opposed and made. 254 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: We made arguments, right the Tea Party was making an 255 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: argument at the size of government, the size of the debt. 256 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: Now that's an argument we still need to make, by 257 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: the way, but it wasn't you know, Barack Obama is 258 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: just evil, and that's really what it comes down to. 259 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: The from That's how you have Pelosi saying things like 260 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: he's anti governance. I mean, what an utterly fectless and 261 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: stupid thing for the Speaker of the House to say. 262 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: Do you think anyone's gonna call her out on it though? 263 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: Do you think there'll be any effort whatsoever to push 264 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: back on something that's so transparently ridiculous now? Of course not, 265 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: of course, because she's Nancy Pelosi. She plays for Team Democrat, 266 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: and there's different rules for Team Democrat, and those rules 267 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: include never even raising the possibility, never even addressing the 268 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: thought that weaponizing law against your political opponents, and the 269 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: Democrats are very clearly doing right now, and weaponizing congressional 270 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: subpoena power for petty partisan purposes tears at the very 271 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: fabric of this country's politics and makes us bitterly divided 272 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: in ways that will have ramifications for a long time 273 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: to come. No. No, whatever Democrats do is justify anything 274 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: to stop Trump. That's the Anything that is opposed to 275 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: Trump must be a good thing, that is their view. 276 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: For a few weeks now, I've been reminding you that 277 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: Mother's Day is fast approaching.

It's 301 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: about the facts and the law. Now, as I've said yesterday, 302 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: the president is almost self impeaching because he is every 303 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: day demonstrating more obstruction of justice and disrespect for Congress's 304 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: legitimate role to subpoena. So well, again, this is very methodical, 305 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: it's very constitution based, it's very law based, it's very 306 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: factually based. It's not about pressure, it's about patriotism. These 307 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: democ krats are a bunch of big fat liars, liars, 308 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: so shameless too. I mean, they can't believe these things 309 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: they're saying. It's so absurd. Jerry Nadler, this is a 310 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: grave and momentous step that No, it isn't, No, it isn't. 311 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: I had one of these Democrat judiciary members on rising 312 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: yesterday and he said, oh, this is so important. I said, oh, 313 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. When was the last time an attorney general 314 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: was held in contempt to Congress. Oh, Eric Holder, right, 315 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: how big a deal was? That It's a grave and 316 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: momentous step they were forced to take today, forced to take. 317 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: My friends, Jerry Nadler and the Democrats are claiming that 318 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: because they don't have unfettered access to two percent of 319 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: a four hundred and forty eight page report, because they 320 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: don't have complete and total unfettered access, they are being 321 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: obstructed in their constitutional oversight duties. They are being unfairly 322 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: prevented from, you know, doing what needs be done here. 323 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: I just find myself in I have speaking of contempt. 324 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: I have such contempt for these Democrats. I really do 325 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: you know? This is a This is beyond just disagreeing 326 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: with them, and these people are highly unethical. They make 327 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: fraudulent representations about what's going on to the people of 328 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: the United States. Pelosi is saying that this is that 329 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: the president is self impeaching because he's doing even more obstruction. 330 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: What's he supposed to do? Just hand his hand his 331 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: smartphone to Pelosi, said, yeah, I go through this. Do 332 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: whatever you want. Whatever you want. You want to install 333 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: cameras in the in the in the residence of the 334 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: White House.

Fine, this is about transparency. 336 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: This is just about trying to dig up dirt and 337 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: trying to create dirt. Never mind dig up dirt, just 338 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: muddy up the president with whatever they can. He knows 339 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: that everyone knows that this is all politics, has nothing 340 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: to do with the sanctity of our democracy or you know, 341 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: protecting our American way of life and all this other 342 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: sanctimonious bullcrap the Democrats are throwing your way all at 343 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: the time. It's just they're pathetic, utterly pathetic. I mean 344 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: their claim here they've held the Attorney General in contempt, 345 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: which fortunately, the only person that could arrest the Attorney 346 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: General or that could prosecute him would be within the 347 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: US Attorney's office, and that's not going to happen. But 348 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 1: they've held the Attorney General in contempt, and they've held 349 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: him in contempt for and this is this is a fact, 350 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: my friends, for refusing to break the law. That's the 351 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: situation in right now. Sarah Huckeby Sanders address this and 352 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: put it rather well. Play too. Chairman Nadler is asking 353 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: the Attorney general kind it states, to break the law 354 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: and commit a crime by releasing information that he knows 355 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: he has no legal authority to have. It's truly outrageous 356 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: and absurd what the Chairman is doing, and he should 357 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: be embarrassed that he's behaving this lay. Any congressional subpoena 358 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: request for information has to be premised on a legitimate 359 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: government function, right. You know, you get a member of 360 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: Congress can't just subpoena the records of his wife to 361 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: see if she's cheating on him. You know that there 362 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: are actual limits here. It's not just whatever you want, 363 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: whatever you want it, and there is There has yet 364 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: to be any justification for why Congress thinks it is 365 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: entitled to protect it under statute under congressionally past statute 366 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: to protect six e grand jury information. Do you know why? 367 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: You know why they want that grandjury information? And you 368 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: know why they want all Congress to have it so 369 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: they can leak it. If it's just the leadership that 370 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: has access to it, it's a small enough pool that 371 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: they get a little squirrely about leaking information that could 372 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: get them in criminal jeopardy when it's quite clear that 373 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,959 Speaker 1: not that many people had access to it. Right, This 374 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: is true This is an old intelligence community thing as well. 375 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: If you limit access to information, if there's a leak, 376 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: you're much more likely to be able to track down 377 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: the source of the league they want all of Congress, 378 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: all four hundred and thirty five members do. You're able 379 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: to just walk in, read in a secure facility whatever 380 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: they want, and that includes the E six material and 381 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: there are six material rather and the reason they want 382 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: that materials so about is they figured there might be 383 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: because the remember that's trying to get charges going, there 384 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: might be something damaging in there about about Trump. There 385 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: might be something in there that is an embarrassment to 386 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: the President of the United States. And that's what this 387 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: is all about. It's not about finding criminality. It's not about, 388 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: you know, creating some important commission to look at We 389 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: had the commission, we had two years of the Mother Probe, 390 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: two years of this. We've been through this nightmare. Democrats 391 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: have this fixation, this obsession, and you know, they just 392 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: sound crazier and dumber the more they talk about it. 393 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: Pelosi sang, it's about patriotism. They have they have not 394 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: an ounce of integrity in this process. They've shown themselves 395 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: to be the most hacky of hacks, the most partisan 396 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: of partisans. That's why they're also go That's why you 397 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: see all the stuff too now about. You know, they're 398 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: gonna go after the president's family more, they're gonna go 399 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: after anybody. They're gonna they want his tax returns. They're 400 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: just trying to sink their teeth into something. And what 401 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 1: I think so interesting is that they've already done all this. 402 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: We've been through all this. They're gonna rehash a lot 403 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: that we already knew from twenty sixteen. You know, nobody 404 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: voted for President Trump because of the way he treats 405 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: his marital vows. Okay, I'm not I'm not trying to 406 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: be judge here, but let's be honest. Voted for Trump 407 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: because of what he represents, because of the ideas, because 408 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: of the movement, because of his ability to execute his 409 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: commander in chief under the promises that he made while 410 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: running for president. That's it. That's why we and it's 411 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: working out really well, it's actually very good. But he's 412 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: had to get through this astonishing group of little Liliputians 413 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: tying him down with everything they can, trying to prevent 414 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: Trump from being able to just be the president, and 415 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: there's so much bitterness and so much nastiness in their 416 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: way that they're willing to lie about him. You know, 417 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: they always say that Trump's a liar. Democrats go out 418 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: there and they lie about Trump every frigging day. They 419 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: won't stop lying about him. But you know, you don't 420 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: see big newstickers on CNN or over at the Washington 421 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,239 Speaker 1: Post fact checker on that thing. All these Democrats who 422 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: were saying that Barr isn't doing his job is being bad. 423 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: They're liars. Tires Zach. Family units are coming because the 424 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: words out, you bring a child, you won't be detained. 425 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: Over eighty percent don't show up in court and they're 426 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: going to remain in the United States illegally until the 427 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: next DOCA comes up. If you look at the numbers, 428 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: this all start in fy twelve when the DOC was 429 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: awarded by the Obama administration. That's when the surge even started. 430 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: Conngress is not going to help, So we need to 431 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: do operationally what Congress does be able to do legislatively. 432 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: ICE needs to do a nationwide operation. Look for these 433 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: family units, a single adults who had their day in 434 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: court or didn't show up in court and we're ordered 435 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 1: removed by federal judge. If those orders don't mean anything, 436 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: if those orders are executed, there's no integrity and started system. 437 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: I did this three and a half years ago and 438 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: took a lot of heat from the Democratic administration. But 439 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: at work, the numbers on the borders dropped dramatically almost immediately. 440 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: We have to show consequence. Central Americans need to see 441 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: families coming home consequences. This is the essential missing component 442 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: of our immigration policy right now when it comes to 443 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: those who break our immigration laws. That was Tom Home 444 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: in there, and he is absolutely correct. We need to 445 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: start enforcing the law or else they'll just be more 446 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: law breaking. The whole system collapses on itself if there 447 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: are no consequences for abusing the system. You think, well, Buck, 448 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: that's so obvious, right, it's how could anybody have a 449 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: problem with that? How could anyone oppose this? Oh, that's right. 450 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: They shouldn't oppose this. They should be all in favor 451 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: of it. But Democrats do oppose it. They have no interest, 452 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: none whatsoever in making people who violate our laws suffer 453 00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: any consequences because they benefit from illegal gration. You know this, 454 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: We've talked about this it is so clear at this point. 455 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: But there's more than just the enforcement piece. That's that's 456 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 1: very critical that and if the administration gets that right. 457 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: I know there's this Jared Kushner immigration planets out there 458 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: right now. He verifies the component of that, he verifies 459 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: important employer workplace enforcement has to become a part of 460 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: immigration routine in this country. There's also some border security measures, 461 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: and there's there's a lot of things, because the problem 462 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: with trying to deal with illegal immigration is that it 463 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: is multifaceted inherently. I mean, you can focus in on 464 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: a couple of things here and there, but it's always 465 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: going to be a dare I say comprehensive approach, although 466 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,719 Speaker 1: that phrase has been so abused by the other side 467 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,959 Speaker 1: that they really at this point. You know, anytime you 468 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: say that, it's like, oh, are you going back to 469 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: the Gang of April with Mark Rubio and the rest 470 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: of those guys. I certainly hope not. That was the 471 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: amnesty bill. You remember that, the amnesty bill. But here 472 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: what else is happening on the immigration front that's so important? 473 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: Given we had one hundred and nine thousand illegal crossings 474 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: last month, one hundred and nine thousand a decent sized 475 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: US city of illegal aliens entering the United States in 476 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: one month. Multiply that by twelve, we're at over a million, 477 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: my friends. That's that's the situation our border. Now. We 478 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: look at the way that the hashtag resistance judiciary, the 479 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: anti Trump judges generally but not always Obama appointee judges, 480 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: how they've made it impossible for Trump to handle the 481 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: immigration crisis. They keep tying his hands, even though recently 482 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: the preliminary injunction on the Trump third Safe Country Agreement 483 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: with Mexico was lifted, so they can keep some people 484 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: in this pilot program who are waiting for their asylum 485 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: claims who come at the southern border, they be they 486 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: can be kept on the Mexico side of the border, 487 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: so that that will happen. And but that's that's, you know, 488 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: kind of a rarity that there's something that goes somewhat 489 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: reasonably with these courts, especially the Ninth Circuit, which you 490 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: usually have as a nationwide injunction. What you have had, 491 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: and the best example of this that I can give 492 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: you is when President Trump tried to get rid of DACA, right, 493 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: try to say, okay, no more DACA, which was an 494 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: executive discretion based program, and then a judge came along 495 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: in the Ninth Circuit and under a kind of administrative 496 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: procedure interpretation, it's just making it up as the judge 497 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: goes along. I mean, that doesn't make sense to anybody. 498 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: It's not a good faith interpretation. Said, oh, no, you 499 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: can't stop this program anymore. Well, if a judge can 500 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: tell the president what is in the executive or rather, 501 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: if a judge can make executive decisions for the president 502 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:03,479 Speaker 1: about immigration when it comes to areas of executive authority, 503 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: then the judge can just usurp. Any judge, any federal 504 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: judge anywhere in the country can usurp the authority of 505 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: the president of the United States. This is crazy, This 506 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: is nuts. That is what is happening. But Vice President 507 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: Mike Pence, according to Bloomberg here is said the Trump 508 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: administration is going to ask the Supreme Court to prevent 509 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: lower courts from imposing nationwide injunctions against the president's policies. 510 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: Pence said in a speech to the Conservative Federalist Society 511 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: that federal district courts have imposed more nationwide against nationwide 512 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: injunctions against Trump than the first forty presidents combined. On Tuesday, 513 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: an appeals court lifted an injunction against a Trump policy 514 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: that allows US immigration authorities to force some migrant seeking 515 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: asylum to wait in Mexico while their cases are adjudicated. 516 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: Keep in mind that while the night Okay, the appeals 517 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: court lifted the injunction, but someone had to put that 518 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: injunction in place to begin with. So a federal judge said, 519 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: oh no, you can't. You can't, Executive branch, President the 520 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: United States, You're not allowed to enforce border security in 521 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: this way because I say so, and I'm a federal judge. 522 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: My friends, there are hundreds and hundreds of federal judges 523 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: across the country. Okay, this idea that any federal judge 524 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: can just tell the president you can't do that, and 525 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: that it is true as a matter of federal policy 526 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: across the entire country. This is just this is just nuts. 527 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: And what you have is judicial abuse. I mean, these 528 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: judges are abusing their power. This is what Penn said. 529 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: A Supreme Court justice has to convince four of his 530 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: colleagues to uphold the nationwide injunction, but a single district 531 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: court judge can issue one effectively preventing the duly elected 532 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: president of the United States from fulfilling his constitutional duties. 533 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: This judicial obstruction is unprecedented. In the days ahead, our 534 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: administration will seek opportunities to put this question before the 535 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. You're darn right, and it's absolutely what they 536 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: should do. The destruction of the good faith execution of 537 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: the laws, the eradication of good faith and tutorial decisions, 538 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: the clear weaponization and politicization of prosecutors' offices. These are 539 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: all current policies of the Democrat Party, and they're going 540 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: to be lasting and destructive legacies of the left in 541 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: this country for a long time to come. There are 542 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: a lot of bitter fights we can have about politics. 543 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: There are always happiness country, there always will be. But 544 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: we have to be able to count on some sense 545 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 1: of shared obedience and respect for the rules and not 546 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: changing them as one sees fit whenever it if it's somebody, 547 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: whenever they feel like just ignoring what's really written on 548 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 1: the page, or how things have been done in the past, 549 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: or what the intent of the law truly is. Got 550 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: a big hour or two coming up here. What's going 551 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 1: to look like when Trump is able to finally focus 552 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: on the Democrat opposition. I think that Biden is going 553 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: to wither. I think that Buddha Judge has no chance 554 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: standing against Trump on stage, the only one that is 555 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: a wild card for me, And I know some of 556 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: you disagree, and that's fine. Bernie is an interesting matchup 557 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: for Trump. He's the only one that I see that's 558 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: a serious matchup. I still think Trump wins because I 559 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 1: think the country's not ready for democratic socialist I think 560 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: that we're still We're just not there hopefully. I mean, 561 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: maybe maybe I'm giving us too much credit as a country, 562 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: but you had a Trump in Florida yesterday and he 563 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: was in in usual Trump form at a rally, really 564 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: getting everybody fired up. But it was a little taste 565 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: of what we're going to see in this next election, 566 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: which is going to be wildly entertaining and a very 567 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: interesting test of where this country really thinks it's futualized. 568 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: That's all coming up. Edge foot edge Edge, they say, 569 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 1: edge Edge. He's got a great chance, says they. He'll 570 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 1: be greg and beato. Beto boys, he fallen like a rock. 571 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: What the hell happened to Beta? One of the Democrats 572 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: today said that he so he sleepy person said that 573 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: he heard from a lot of foreign leaders and they 574 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: want him to be president. Of course they do so 575 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: they can continue to rip off the United States. Of course, 576 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 1: they had a choice between slippy Joe and crazy Bernie. 577 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: Instead of wasting time, energy, taxpayer dollars on potters and 578 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: stunts and hoaxes and witch hunts, Democrats should be focused 579 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: on building up our country. I mean they want to 580 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: do investings instead of investments. I think it drives us 581 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 1: right on to victory in twenty twenty. No collusion, no obstruction, 582 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 1: no anything. It's time to stop this nonsense. The Trump 583 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: Mania is going to be in full effect for this 584 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. This is gonna be a real test, 585 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: isn't it. You See, the first time around, President Trump 586 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,800 Speaker 1: had the let's be let's be honest, he had the 587 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: element of surprise. He had a kind of underdog status, 588 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: at least in the eyes of the establishment. I know 589 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: many of you listening like ah buck, I knew, and 590 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: you do, and I have the emails and the Facebook 591 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 1: messages you did know to prove it. But he was 592 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: considered well into the general election. Let's be honest, he 593 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: was considered well up until election night itself. No chance 594 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna win, No way, was ninety seven percent chance. 595 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: New York Time says Hillary Clinton went ninety seven percent. 596 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: If I told you you had a ninety seven percent 597 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: chance of waking up tomorrow morning at a three percent 598 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 1: chance of not, you probably sleep pretty well. Right. I mean, 599 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: let's let's be real, ninety seven percent chance of Hillary winning. Obviously, 600 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: that didn't happen this time around. He's gonna be the incumbent. 601 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: It's going to be quite different in that sense. But 602 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: we're also going to get a real look at you know, 603 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: the first time around that the Democrats, it was all, oh, 604 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: Trump has this new for you know, It's like he 605 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: caught them by surprise. He caught them flat footed. They 606 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:43,879 Speaker 1: had Hillary Hello, who was running around being horribly uncharming 607 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: and you know, not being a good candidate, not being 608 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: somebody that anybody would really want to vote for, and 609 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: all this, and and you know Hillary was doing all 610 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: of that, and they acted like there's no way they 611 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: could have seen Trump coming, Right, There's no way that 612 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 1: anybody could have predict did this thing. Now you're gonna 613 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 1: see Trump standing in the standing off to the side 614 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: during the Democrat primary and just shaping the narrative a 615 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: little bit about these guys here and there, a little 616 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: bit here, a little bit there. You'll notice he brought 617 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: up how our foreign adversaries have already made made it 618 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: clear that they have a preference for sleepy Joe Biden, 619 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 1: and specifically in the case of China, that is definitely true. 620 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: In fact, I think that the argument. I think you 621 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: can make a strong argument that the Chinese if they 622 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,439 Speaker 1: don't make a deal, and here's our prediction, folks, We're 623 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: not going to get a deal right now. I'm not 624 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: saying we're never going to get a deal. We're not 625 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 1: going to get a deal right now. If if I'm right, 626 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: and we don't get this trade deal, that would mean, 627 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: you know, tomorrow we're gonna get all these additional sanctions 628 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: that are not sanctions tariffs, pardon me, not sanctions, tariffs 629 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: that go into effect. If we get all that and 630 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 1: that happens, there may be a chance later on for 631 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: us to really get the deal we want. But Trump 632 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: has to win because the Chinese right now, the calculation 633 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,479 Speaker 1: that they're making is that if they can just wait 634 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: it out a little bit, then they will be in 635 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: a place to negotiate with sleepy Joe Biden instead of 636 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And they know that Biden doesn't have that. 637 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: I don't think Biden has the stomach for a real 638 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: trade fight with China. Look at all the people who 639 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: told Trump that this was a crazy idea what he's 640 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 1: trying to do here, that this was insane for him 641 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: to take this, take this position of forcing China to 642 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: the negotiating table. Now it looks like he's been the 643 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,280 Speaker 1: one that had real foresight. Now it looks like President 644 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: Trump understands what China's doing much better than so many 645 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: of the so called experts on this issue. And so 646 00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: I do think, I do think that the President is 647 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,240 Speaker 1: going to be able to get us across the finish 648 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: line if he gets four more years. But in the meantime, 649 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 1: you've got these different democrats out there, and I'd say, 650 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: Pete Buddha Gedge, I was willing to kind of give 651 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,280 Speaker 1: this guy a fair hearing. He does seem a little snide. 652 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: There's something a little seems a little nasty, lacking, very 653 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: lacking in charm from what I'm what I'm picking up. 654 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he speaks a bunch of languages, he's 655 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: a Rhodes scholar. That's all great, but I don't I 656 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: don't think he's got the charisma. I don't think he's 657 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: got the swagger. And Biden is what was the what 658 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: was that Reagan called him again a perfect demagogue, a 659 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,760 Speaker 1: smooth a smooth but total demagogue. I can't remember Reagan's description, 660 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: no surprise, completely nailed it. But I don't think Biden 661 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: has has the legs for this either. I don't think 662 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: he can do it. And another thing to remember is 663 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: that there's gonna be payback along the way here, at 664 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: least political payback. I don't think there's gonna be accountability 665 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: for the people that were part of the deep state, 666 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,760 Speaker 1: the deep state coup really to get rid of Trump. 667 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,959 Speaker 1: I think that they're probably going to get away without 668 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: any real, you know, criminal sanctions or anything like that. 669 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 1: But that all said, there will be opportunities for Trump 670 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: to make the case the American people, and I certainly 671 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: hope that he does that. All along here, this deep 672 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: state effort has shown the kind of bad faith that 673 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:34,240 Speaker 1: Democrats operate under, and we should not let this pass. 674 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: We should not let this, we should not let this 675 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: aggression stand man like, we should actually nail them at 676 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: the ballot box. That's the one thing that really gets 677 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: you know, how you get even with democrats take away 678 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: their power and a Trump gave us a little bit 679 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: of a little bit of a preview of what that 680 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: when he was in Florida last night. But that's going 681 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,240 Speaker 1: to sound like on the campaign trail, and it's going 682 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 1: to be sweet play for team. Your judge has a 683 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: fantastic relationship, which James called me, well, he's a part 684 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: of this. He lied to Congress head, he's a liar, 685 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: a leaker. And your judge has a situation where he 686 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: wanted to become the FBI director. We chose Director Ray 687 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 1: instead and told him I'm sorry that those are tremendous conflicts. 688 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: Those are tremendous conflicts. And then he puts on his 689 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: staff almost all Democrats, many of whom contributed to Hillary Clinton. 690 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: None of them contributed to me, that I can tell you. 691 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: And it started out at thirteen and went to eighteen. 692 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: And these were angry Democrats. These were people that went 693 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: to her in one case went to her. I'm supposed 694 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: to be a party. It turned out to be a 695 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: funeral on election evening and was going wild. He was 696 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: so angry, and this man now is judging me. Yep, 697 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 1: Trump is going to be able to finally take the 698 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: fight to the other side in a way that will 699 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,720 Speaker 1: matter to them. If we can't get the deep state 700 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,240 Speaker 1: to clean out its own house, if we can't get 701 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: real justice at the Department of Justice, and all the 702 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 1: people that were part of the effort to take down 703 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: this president will evade accountability. At least Trump can use 704 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 1: what happened to him to take the one thing from Democrats, 705 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,360 Speaker 1: take away from the one thing that gets them really upset, 706 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: the one thing that makes them so so sad, their power, 707 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: because they're obsessed with power. What I'd like to see 708 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 1: with Iran, I'd like to see them call me, you know, 709 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 1: John Kerry speaks to him a lot. John Kerry tells 710 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 1: them not to call. That's a violation of the Logan Act. 711 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: And frankly, he should be prosecuted on that. But my 712 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,920 Speaker 1: people don't want to do anything. That's only the Democrats 713 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 1: do that kind of stuff. You know, if it were 714 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: the opposite way, they'd prosecute him under the Logan Act. 715 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: But John Kerry violated the Logan Act he's talking to 716 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,720 Speaker 1: Iran and has been has many meetings and many phone calls, 717 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: and he's telling them what to do. That is a 718 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:19,320 Speaker 1: total violation of the Logan Act. This is a critical 719 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:24,719 Speaker 1: point from President Trump. Really summarize with only the Democrats 720 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:29,439 Speaker 1: do that. It's so true. Democrats are are such they're 721 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:35,400 Speaker 1: such petty little authoritarians and such a bunch of hall monitors. 722 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,440 Speaker 1: But that only enforced the rules against the kids in 723 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: the class. They don't like. You know, they're sticklers for 724 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: rules when they're on their side, and the rules don't 725 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,319 Speaker 1: count when they're not. I remember this from even when 726 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,800 Speaker 1: I was in the CIA. Oh my gosh, the stuff 727 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 1: that people would say. This was during the Bush administration, 728 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: The stuff that people would say about George W. Bush 729 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,799 Speaker 1: in my office sometimes, oh man, and and how how 730 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:00,799 Speaker 1: you know in comp but into what this is our 731 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 1: commander in chief. This is a guy we're doing writing 732 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 1: the PDB for every day, you know. And I was 733 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 1: in the Iraq office. We're in a war zone office. 734 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 1: We had really really important issues to tackle. And oh 735 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 1: the stuff that people say about the president and how 736 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, they couldn't wait until they had somebody smarter 737 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: and better and all this stuff. And I never I 738 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: never did anything like go and complain and say, oh, 739 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: there's a Hatch Act violation here because they're doing you know, 740 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: political proselytizing in the office. Or but I'm telling you, 741 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 1: I mean, if we put up a joke cartoon with 742 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: Bush and Reagan writing velociraptors with American flags in one 743 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 1: hand and machine gun in the other, I mean maybe 744 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,919 Speaker 1: this is the kind of thing that happened. I can't 745 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 1: really recall exactly if we did that. I can just 746 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:53,879 Speaker 1: tell you that there was an absolute certainty that some 747 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,240 Speaker 1: lib in the office was going to say, oh, there's 748 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 1: a it's a Hatch Act violation. You can't do that. 749 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: There's such a bunch of babies. And now, in a 750 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:09,320 Speaker 1: more serious way, the Logan Act is just another another 751 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 1: instance of how this plays out. And that's why Trump 752 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: is rubbing their faces in this and he should because 753 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: today when he brought up the John Kerry, who if 754 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,720 Speaker 1: there is such a thing as a Logan Act violation, 755 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: you would think that John Kerry is the one violating it. Right, 756 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 1: John Kerry speaks to a Ron says stay in the deal, 757 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 1: don't listen to the president don't do what the president wants. 758 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: And he's really doing it under the color of authority 759 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 1: of the United States government, even though he's not in power. 760 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 1: You know, he's really doing it as though you know, 761 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 1: he speaks for some part of the United States government. 762 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I don't believe the Logan Act is 763 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 1: a law that can be enforced. But my point is 764 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,359 Speaker 1: that if it is a law, carry is violating. If 765 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: there is such a thing as a Logan Act, violation 766 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:03,840 Speaker 1: carries violating. Meanwhile, when Trump brings up the John Kerry 767 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:09,360 Speaker 1: violated the Logan Act, journalists live journalists, Oh across the board, 768 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 1: they scoff at this notion. Oh, oh, preposterous. Oh, the 769 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: Logan Act is not something that we need to think 770 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,400 Speaker 1: about or worry about. It's not a real law. And 771 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: to that I just note, really, because you will recall, 772 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:31,800 Speaker 1: the Logan Act was the pretext for Acting Attorney General 773 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 1: Sally Yates to send FBI agents to go and entrap 774 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:43,239 Speaker 1: General Michael Flynn with perjury in a to put him 775 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,960 Speaker 1: in a perjury trap and to take him out as 776 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 1: natural Security advisor, to ruin his career and send him 777 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,879 Speaker 1: to prison. So if if everyone's gonna laugh about how 778 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,360 Speaker 1: carry can't really have violated the Logan Act, which is 779 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 1: what they're doing. Oh that's ridiculous, Oh that's crazy. Why 780 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,400 Speaker 1: wasn't it ridiculous and crazy when never mind that Sally 781 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: Yates was willing to use it in this way, But 782 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: when she said that that was her justification, when she 783 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 1: said that she was using the Logan Acts specifically because 784 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 1: it was a law on the books that she thought 785 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 1: maybe John Michael Flynn had violated, why wasn't that viewed 786 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:29,399 Speaker 1: as a as an obvious an obvious political hit shop, 787 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 1: which is what it was. Because you see, Democrats do 788 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:39,880 Speaker 1: not believe in principles that apply universally. They do not 789 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: believe in laws that apply universally. Their mentality, their emotional 790 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 1: state is such that they think that there are certain 791 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: laws for some people and other laws for other people. 792 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,760 Speaker 1: They think that the Logan Act is useful for reigning 793 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:59,880 Speaker 1: in the destructive impulses of Republicans who are in power 794 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,360 Speaker 1: and are supposed to be able to engage in foreign policy. 795 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 1: But they have no such sense about democrats. I mean, 796 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,440 Speaker 1: you go back and look at what Teddy Kennedy did 797 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 1: back in the day with the Soviet Union I mean 798 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 1: that was like, that was really border line treason. I 799 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,000 Speaker 1: mean that the stuff that Teddy Kennedy was doing, and 800 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,399 Speaker 1: yet still the line of the Senate when he's not 801 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,719 Speaker 1: letting a girl drown in the back of his car 802 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 1: because he wanted to protect his political career, the lion 803 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,319 Speaker 1: of the Senate, they call him. What a disgrace, We're 804 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: an embarrassment. But this double this double standard, this dual 805 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: tract justice system we have where there's such a quick 806 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: resort on the Democrats side to call foul and want 807 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 1: to use the law and even really aggressively twist the 808 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 1: law and to come up with, you know, to pull 809 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 1: a COMI, to pull a Muller. How can I find 810 00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,080 Speaker 1: a way to use the words on this page that 811 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,719 Speaker 1: is a statute to go after someone I want to 812 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: go after. That's not the way the law is supposed 813 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 1: to be. The law is not supposed to function as 814 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 1: a tool for battering down your political opponents. That is 815 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,799 Speaker 1: what Democrats do. That is the game they're playing. And 816 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,360 Speaker 1: I know I've I've said this to many of you 817 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 1: who listen. I've been saying this for years. Just look, 818 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 1: step aside from the Special Council situation for a moment. 819 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 1: Just look at what the Democrats have done and Democrat 820 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,440 Speaker 1: prosecutors have done in the last ten years when it 821 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,440 Speaker 1: comes to using the laws a weapon. They went after 822 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 1: Scott Walker and a complete joke of a theory of 823 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: a case. They know, after Scott Walker with the so 824 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 1: called John Doe laws, they went after Chris Christie over Bridgegate. 825 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 1: They went after for a short time Rick Perry over 826 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,879 Speaker 1: firing a I think it was a disc attorney who 827 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 1: had a drunk driving conviction, and then they said, oh, 828 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 1: you can't do that. They went after Bob McDonald of Virginia, 829 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 1: who was, you know, being slimy. I'm not gonna say 830 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 1: what he did was okay, but they also went after 831 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,720 Speaker 1: his wife and there was no quid pro quo, meaning 832 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,799 Speaker 1: he didn't do anything for the person that was giving 833 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 1: him all these favors. So's the what's the corrupt act? Ah? 834 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,120 Speaker 1: But see just like how they went after McDonald and 835 00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 1: created a very expansive theory that the Supreme Court overturned. 836 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 1: Remember Bob McDonald's a Republican at one point talked about 837 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 1: as a likely vice presidential candidate. I mean, he was 838 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,879 Speaker 1: a national level figure back in the Romney days when 839 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 1: Romney was run for president. But they went after Bob McDonald. 840 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 1: They want to send him to prison for eleven years, 841 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 1: and they could not even identify a single official act 842 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:48,480 Speaker 1: that he took. So I ask you, where's the equivalent 843 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:55,640 Speaker 1: effort on the other side, where are the Republican prosecutors who, 844 00:52:55,840 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 1: without cause and without without real evidence, have cock did 845 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 1: these cockamamie theories of a case or cocamae theories about 846 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 1: an interpretation of a statue, twisted and reorganized and turned 847 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:14,960 Speaker 1: upside down, all for the very obvious purpose of taking 848 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,799 Speaker 1: down a political opponent. I can't think of it. We 849 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 1: don't do this, and I can't advocate for doing it, 850 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,800 Speaker 1: because it's so dangerous to a society. It does deeply 851 00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 1: wound the rule of law, and it hurts, you know. 852 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,880 Speaker 1: You think about what really binds us together as a country. 853 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,279 Speaker 1: It's our language, it's our culture, it's our laws, it's 854 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 1: our history. But our laws really matter. And the faith 855 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: that we have in the justice system that it is 856 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,760 Speaker 1: not about politics, it is about the law and doing 857 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 1: justice itself. That is rocked to its very core when 858 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 1: we see this happening over and over and That's why, 859 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, when they scoff about Trump bringing up the 860 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 1: Logan Act, I just want to say, where was that 861 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,920 Speaker 1: scoffing when it was General Flynn, when it was his 862 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,960 Speaker 1: time in the barrel? It should have been scoffed at, 863 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 1: but it wasn't. It was used as a tool to 864 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:11,040 Speaker 1: take him down. Sally h should be ashamed of herself, 865 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,720 Speaker 1: but of course she is not. As a fantastic piece 866 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 1: today in National Review from Kevin Williamson, who I have 867 00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:24,359 Speaker 1: to say is one of the best, I would say 868 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,200 Speaker 1: best conservative columnists. I'm actually gonna go even further. He's 869 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,479 Speaker 1: one of the just in terms of sheer writing talent, 870 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 1: Kevin Williamson is one of the best people on the scene, certainly, 871 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,280 Speaker 1: I think in the in the top ten for editorial writers. 872 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: And Kevin and I don't know each other very well. 873 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,240 Speaker 1: I've obviously had him on the show in the past. 874 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 1: You know, I don't have his number on my phone, 875 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,759 Speaker 1: so it's not like we're close buddies. But I just 876 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,799 Speaker 1: recognize talent where it is, and Kevin is a fantastic writer. 877 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 1: But he did this piece on that he just published today. 878 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,920 Speaker 1: That's a Nashreview dot Com does Brian Simms, hear himself, 879 00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,280 Speaker 1: and he really tied together some of the threat heads 880 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,359 Speaker 1: from what I was discussing yesterday in the show, which 881 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,439 Speaker 1: that Brian Simms is is a very This is member 882 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:11,720 Speaker 1: the state representative in Pennsylvania, a guy who clearly seems 883 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:13,239 Speaker 1: like a little bit, a little bit out of his 884 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,880 Speaker 1: mind on certain stuff, you know, and but speaks in 885 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:21,600 Speaker 1: the language of the woke social justice warrior and is 886 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:27,439 Speaker 1: very nasty and very self righteous, and really epitomizes what 887 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:33,799 Speaker 1: is the psychological deficiency that has run rampant in the 888 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:38,920 Speaker 1: progressive left. Essentially, they're crazy, They've gone nuts. Let me 889 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,040 Speaker 1: read you from some of Kevin's peace here in Nashal Review, 890 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,720 Speaker 1: because he gets into both the problem of Brian Simms 891 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:50,879 Speaker 1: and the problem of the left being in a state 892 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:55,360 Speaker 1: of mass delusion and psychosis. How to explain Brian Simms 893 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 1: none of the three most likely possibilities that he is 894 00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 1: not very bright, that he is in saying that he 895 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,479 Speaker 1: is a fanatic speaks very well of the Pennsylvania state 896 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: representative who for some reason decided to accost an elderly 897 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,239 Speaker 1: woman praying silently in front of an abortion facility to 898 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,560 Speaker 1: film the attack. And then to boast about it on Twitter. 899 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 1: It is tempting to lean towards stupidity as an explanation 900 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 1: for Simms's shenanigans, if only because that is the most 901 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 1: statistically likely scenario when the subject in question is a 902 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:30,920 Speaker 1: member of the Pennsylvania State legislature, as witless a collection 903 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 1: of moldering goofs and ravening mediocrits as you will find 904 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,279 Speaker 1: in any of our state capitals. But let's not give 905 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 1: short shrift to the insanity option. Simms, who holds elected 906 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:48,320 Speaker 1: office and previously worked for the Philadelphia Bar Association, offered 907 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:53,000 Speaker 1: a cash bounty to his social media followers for identifying 908 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:57,759 Speaker 1: information with which to docs three teenage girls who were 909 00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:02,640 Speaker 1: praying outside the same clinic. Mentally, normal adult men do 910 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 1: not go around photographing teenage girls and then trolling for 911 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:11,479 Speaker 1: their names on social media in order to facilitate harassing them. 912 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 1: Times being what they are, perhaps we should classify political 913 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,320 Speaker 1: fanaticism of the social media performance art variety as a 914 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:22,720 Speaker 1: kind of insanity. Political fanatics such as Sims live in 915 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 1: the shadows, because shadows between the day feaks and outright monomania, 916 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 1: the inferior kind and Simms is the inferior kind, fixate 917 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:39,800 Speaker 1: on terminology as a substitute for ideas, and for them, 918 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 1: buzzwords are a necessary intellectual crutch. Hence Simms's shouty accusations 919 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,280 Speaker 1: of white privilege in the face of a young woman 920 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:54,120 Speaker 1: who actually pointed out with a smile, is not white. 921 00:57:54,800 --> 00:58:01,560 Speaker 1: And it goes on, it goes on. It's a fantastic 922 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,640 Speaker 1: takedown by Kevin Williamson here in National of View. I've 923 00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,400 Speaker 1: been sending around of friends of mine because it really 924 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:09,600 Speaker 1: pulls apart all the important aspects of what this guy, 925 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:13,200 Speaker 1: Brian Simms did, And remember he didn't. This wasn't just 926 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 1: in a moment of frenzy, you know. This isn't a 927 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 1: guy who was in a traffic jam who yelled some 928 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 1: profanity out his window at someone passing by. No. No, 929 00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:25,200 Speaker 1: he videotaped himself, not once, but twice. He posted on 930 00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: social media because he was proud of it, and he 931 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,360 Speaker 1: had initially accosted them without videotaping it before any of 932 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,120 Speaker 1: these incidents that made it online. And then in his 933 00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: sort of kind of an it wasn't an apology, I 934 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,840 Speaker 1: won't call it an apology. His explanation of events, he 935 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 1: held himself up as a good guy and something of 936 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:49,480 Speaker 1: a martyr for women's rights. But in that exchange where 937 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:55,200 Speaker 1: he's haranguing, where he's just harassing and menacing an elderly 938 00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,760 Speaker 1: woman who's quietly praying outside of an abortion clinic, you 939 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:05,320 Speaker 1: heard so much of the usual leftist stupidity, and Kevin 940 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 1: actually goes into some of this. He says, what should 941 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 1: be remarkable but is not remarkable about the Sims video 942 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:17,120 Speaker 1: is the superficiality and banality of his thinking. His political 943 00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:21,240 Speaker 1: arguments are utterly sophomoric. Demanding that the elderly lady interrupts 944 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,480 Speaker 1: her rosary to tell him how many unwanted children she 945 00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:28,160 Speaker 1: is clothing and feeding. The taunt is childish. No one 946 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 1: ever asks critics of capital punishment how many murderers they're 947 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 1: willing to bring back into their homes. The Pennsylvania State 948 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:38,080 Speaker 1: legislature is not the olympus of politics, But even that 949 00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:44,880 Speaker 1: repulsive body deserves better than this stuff. I completely agree. 950 00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 1: I think that Kevin nails this year. Kevin nails this 951 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,320 Speaker 1: that the arguments that are being deployed by this guy 952 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 1: aren't even good pro abortion arguments. He sounds like a 953 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Hotel Moron and is proud of his idiocy. Why because 954 01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,640 Speaker 1: he uses the right phrases. He talks about how you 955 01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:10,320 Speaker 1: know that there's white privilege, and he speaks about how 956 01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:13,840 Speaker 1: they're you know, the the very words he uses are 957 01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 1: a signifier to anyone who would see this outside this 958 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,640 Speaker 1: Plant Parenter Clinic in Philadelphy. By the way, there's going 959 01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,920 Speaker 1: to be a counter rally tomorrow. I know we had 960 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,160 Speaker 1: Lila rosen Or this week to talk about it, but 961 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 1: he's showing everybody who he is by by not just 962 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 1: what he says, but how he says it. But is 963 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:32,800 Speaker 1: the this is the part of it that for me, 964 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:38,919 Speaker 1: is the most single incisive point that Kevin makes this piece. 965 01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:42,080 Speaker 1: And it's because not to put too final point on it, 966 01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 1: sounds like what I'm telling you on a regular basis 967 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 1: here on the show that politics for the left has 968 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:50,040 Speaker 1: replaced God and has replaced other parts of emotional, psychological, 969 01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,160 Speaker 1: and moral development, where our politics and identity are more 970 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 1: intertwined than ever for the left in this country, and 971 01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,320 Speaker 1: they can't separate the two. Here's what he writes, Representative 972 01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 1: Sims is a kind of man with a low kind 973 01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:06,520 Speaker 1: of mind, but is in fact representative. In our time, 974 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 1: politics has become a very strong part of some people's identities, 975 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: fundamental to their self conception. Partly it fills the whole 976 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 1: left by the attenuation of religion, but it is also 977 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:23,400 Speaker 1: a kind of identity politics for representatives. SIMS will surely 978 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:28,680 Speaker 1: appreciate the irony college educated white people. That's right. Leftist 979 01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:37,920 Speaker 1: politics gives an identity to particularly morally rudderless, atheistic, agnostic, liberal, 980 01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:44,360 Speaker 1: college educated white people. Their identity becomes their leftism. So 981 01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:49,160 Speaker 1: that's why they react to criticisms as though you have 982 01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,480 Speaker 1: deeply affronted and hurt them, and they can't handle it. 983 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,640 Speaker 1: That's why they need safe spaces. That's why they need 984 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,320 Speaker 1: trigger warnings. That's why they want to shut down speech. 985 01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 1: That's why they say speeches violence. Part of the mind 986 01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,760 Speaker 1: and the soul that is supposed to be filled with 987 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:07,439 Speaker 1: a relationship with God, the left has filled with a 988 01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 1: relationship with leftism. Clearly, what the Democrats in the Judiciary 989 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:17,400 Speaker 1: Committee are doing is undermining our democracy and helping Vladimir Putin. 990 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,320 Speaker 1: If you look at what we know and what we 991 01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 1: know from the Mulla Report in other places, it's absolutely 992 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:27,520 Speaker 1: clear that the Russians have attempted. A number of them 993 01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 1: were indicted for attempting to influence, to undermine our democratic processes. 994 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,440 Speaker 1: And the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are doing exactly 995 01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 1: what Vladimir Putin would do if he could. I don't 996 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:46,920 Speaker 1: like this formulation from a congresswoman, Liz Cheney. I'll be 997 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:48,920 Speaker 1: honest with you, gotta tell you. I don't like what 998 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:55,680 Speaker 1: she's going for here. We should not sometimes it's effective. 999 01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 1: Here I don't think it's effective. We should not try 1000 01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 1: to flip around sound the nonsense talking points of the 1001 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,479 Speaker 1: left and try to come up with our our own 1002 01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 1: way of using that. I hate this undermining our democracy phrase. 1003 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,360 Speaker 1: I just hate it. I've heard it for two years 1004 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:16,240 Speaker 1: now about everything relating to Trump. Everything Trump does is 1005 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,920 Speaker 1: undermining our democracy. Now, I know she's talking about the 1006 01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 1: Democrats undermining our democracy, but it's it's really it's really 1007 01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,640 Speaker 1: a kind of stupid phrase. It doesn't mean anything. What 1008 01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,160 Speaker 1: does that? What does it mean to undermine our democracy? 1009 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:33,760 Speaker 1: How are you saying you're undermining rule of all, voter integrity, 1010 01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:39,880 Speaker 1: voting rights, election security in what way? It's just it's 1011 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:44,640 Speaker 1: a phrase that has been utilized so much by left 1012 01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,120 Speaker 1: wing maniacs. That to me, it's it's almost like when 1013 01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:50,840 Speaker 1: someone drops into there, when someone drops into a conversation 1014 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:57,680 Speaker 1: social justice, communities of color, and undermining our democracy. That 1015 01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,919 Speaker 1: just those phrases or those words, you know right away 1016 01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,520 Speaker 1: you're dealing with a leftist right. That's these are the 1017 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 1: terms of art for the political left. Now, this is 1018 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 1: how they will describe sort There really is a difference 1019 01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:15,520 Speaker 1: in how conservatives speak and how liberals speak. And the 1020 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,480 Speaker 1: undermining our democracy point is something that goes right to 1021 01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,160 Speaker 1: the libs. Dark money and politics. Whenever you hear someone 1022 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 1: talk about dark money and polity, you know it's a lib. 1023 01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this is kind of important just for navigating 1024 01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,200 Speaker 1: a cocktail parties and such, because you know, if you 1025 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 1: if you know this stuff and you know you're dealing 1026 01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,200 Speaker 1: with right away, I pretty much can talk to somebody 1027 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 1: for it takes me usually if we don't talk about politics, 1028 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,640 Speaker 1: but we just I can usually tell within two or 1029 01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,640 Speaker 1: three minutes if somebody's a conservative or a liberal. That's 1030 01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:48,400 Speaker 1: that's fair. Not always some people hide it pretty well, 1031 01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,439 Speaker 1: but just the phrases they use, the way they talk 1032 01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,840 Speaker 1: about things, you can pick it up. We really do 1033 01:04:55,040 --> 01:05:01,560 Speaker 1: use different words. Freedom, very big among conservative equality very 1034 01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:05,200 Speaker 1: big among liberals. You know, there's just a different political 1035 01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:10,160 Speaker 1: and really intellectual and psychological focus. So undermining our democracy 1036 01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:11,720 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not into it. And then there's this 1037 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,560 Speaker 1: other part of this. I'm not trying to, you know, 1038 01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 1: beat up on Congresswoman Chaney here, but this just was 1039 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:19,880 Speaker 1: one of these moments where I think that the language 1040 01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,760 Speaker 1: does really matter, and it kind of got got me 1041 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:27,120 Speaker 1: a little a little fired up doing what doing Putin's bidding. 1042 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,280 Speaker 1: I hate that people do this all the time now, 1043 01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 1: whenever you're doing something that they disagree with politically, this 1044 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 1: is that you're doing the bidding of some really bad person. 1045 01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:44,440 Speaker 1: And this is a stupid construction. Doing Putin's bidding by 1046 01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,880 Speaker 1: undermining our democracy is what the left has been saying 1047 01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 1: for a long time about pretty much everything that Trump 1048 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:53,120 Speaker 1: does on foreign policy. But they'll also say that, they'll 1049 01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:55,000 Speaker 1: say this about Kim Jong Oh. And let's say there's 1050 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:59,200 Speaker 1: been any number of people, interestingly enough, today there was 1051 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 1: something of a of a beginning of a break in 1052 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 1: the administration on the issue of Venezuela. This is I 1053 01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I think it's surprised some people. I 1054 01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:18,400 Speaker 1: think it surprised them to find out that Trump is 1055 01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:26,040 Speaker 1: a little bit uncomfortable with the very aggressive posture that 1056 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:30,200 Speaker 1: we have Visa v Venezuela. And there are some reporting 1057 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:35,440 Speaker 1: today that John Bolton not to be confused with Michael 1058 01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:41,520 Speaker 1: Michael Bolton, what a cool name, That Bolton is perhaps 1059 01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:45,959 Speaker 1: too hawkish, that Bolton is too quick to get us 1060 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:50,840 Speaker 1: involved in some of what's going on in Venezuela and 1061 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:56,280 Speaker 1: perhaps taking us too far. Perhaps there's something here beyond 1062 01:06:56,360 --> 01:07:00,160 Speaker 1: just us backing the right side here to us all 1063 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:04,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden, involving ourselves on one side or the 1064 01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 1: other of this, and it's just it should not happen. 1065 01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:13,440 Speaker 1: It should not happen. I think that the President is 1066 01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:19,840 Speaker 1: right to be skeptical of the US being more involved, 1067 01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:23,760 Speaker 1: being too involved, in Venezuela. And I liked that the 1068 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:27,000 Speaker 1: President is willing to finally say here you go. This 1069 01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:31,880 Speaker 1: is from John Hudson over at the Washington Post. Trump 1070 01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:35,440 Speaker 1: is questioning his administration's hardline policy in Venezuela. It feels 1071 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,880 Speaker 1: backed into a corner, is frustrated with Bolton, and says 1072 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:46,000 Speaker 1: Maduro is a tough cookie. Yes one, Maduro is a 1073 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:47,760 Speaker 1: tough cookie, all right. This is not a guy who's 1074 01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:49,800 Speaker 1: going to go easily. And I've been saying it all along. 1075 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 1: And Trump is complaining, according to this Post article here 1076 01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 1: that some of his advisers, notably Bolton, said it was 1077 01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,360 Speaker 1: going to be easy to get rid of the socialist 1078 01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,280 Speaker 1: strong man. It is not easy to get rid of 1079 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,480 Speaker 1: socialist strong men. History tells us this is usually not 1080 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:09,960 Speaker 1: something that happens quickly or seamlessly. Juan Guido would be 1081 01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:13,200 Speaker 1: a much better choice. We certainly would prefer that he 1082 01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,720 Speaker 1: was in place, but we got a long way to go. 1083 01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 1: I think before that actually happens, and Trump realizes that 1084 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:25,080 Speaker 1: the one thing, and this affects his foreign policy across 1085 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,240 Speaker 1: the board. I hope it's the guiding principle of the 1086 01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,960 Speaker 1: Trump administration right now in foreign policy. It should really 1087 01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:33,000 Speaker 1: be a do no harm foreign policy. I just don't 1088 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,960 Speaker 1: no big mistake. You may You're always gonna make little mistakes. 1089 01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:38,920 Speaker 1: Is North Korea a little mistake? You know, is sitting 1090 01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,280 Speaker 1: with Kim Jong gon and saying that he they fell 1091 01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:42,799 Speaker 1: in love and all that. Is that a little mistake. 1092 01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:46,040 Speaker 1: Maybe we're not. It's not clear yet, Although we'll talk 1093 01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:50,560 Speaker 1: more about North Korea in the next hour. But eliminate 1094 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,280 Speaker 1: big mistakes on foreign policy and you're going to be 1095 01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:55,599 Speaker 1: in pretty good shape. And the big mistake that Trump 1096 01:08:55,600 --> 01:09:00,840 Speaker 1: could have is any kind of major military intervention in 1097 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,840 Speaker 1: advance of the election. I would have a very hard 1098 01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:08,360 Speaker 1: time with supporting Trump's forign policy if that were that 1099 01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 1: were to happen, because remember, there was an important break 1100 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,599 Speaker 1: between the Republican establishment and Donald Trump on the matter 1101 01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:17,400 Speaker 1: of foreign policy, where he just said the Iraq War 1102 01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,360 Speaker 1: was a mistake, we shouldn't have done it. He didn't, 1103 01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:22,439 Speaker 1: he didn't prevaricade, he didn't kind of waffle back and 1104 01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:27,360 Speaker 1: forth on it, didn't waver, He said that it was 1105 01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,439 Speaker 1: a mistake, and he wants us out of Afghanistan. The 1106 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:34,000 Speaker 1: permanent National Security Apparatus in DC is going to keep 1107 01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,439 Speaker 1: us there apparently for a very long time. I wish 1108 01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,760 Speaker 1: we would get out. I think there's no hope of 1109 01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:41,559 Speaker 1: Afghanistan being much better than what it is right now. 1110 01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,519 Speaker 1: That's just that's just my opinion. But I tend to 1111 01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:49,240 Speaker 1: be right on these things. But Trump sees that with Venezuela, Okay, uh, 1112 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:52,559 Speaker 1: this guy Majuro is holding on is quite overly gonna 1113 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,240 Speaker 1: get it done. And here's This is what made me 1114 01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,960 Speaker 1: think about it playing into Putin's hands. One of the 1115 01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:58,760 Speaker 1: leftists today and not worth naming it, but one of 1116 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,599 Speaker 1: the leftists out there was saying, oh, see, because Trump 1117 01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:05,639 Speaker 1: talked to Putin recently, and now Trump is questioning US 1118 01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 1: policy in Venezuela. Even though questioning US policy in Venezuela 1119 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,200 Speaker 1: is the right thing, he must be doing Putin's bidding. 1120 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 1: So even when Trump is doing something that people on 1121 01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:21,240 Speaker 1: the left think is probably good, they won't give him 1122 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,599 Speaker 1: credit for it being good because he's doing Putin's bidding. 1123 01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,599 Speaker 1: This is crazy. These are the thoughts of crazy people. 1124 01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:35,120 Speaker 1: This is where Trump's derangement syndrome is all too real, 1125 01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,680 Speaker 1: my friends. This is where there should be a recognition 1126 01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,679 Speaker 1: that this is a clinical diagnogue. I'm not a shrink, 1127 01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm not a psychologist or psychiatrist, but there should be 1128 01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:50,360 Speaker 1: some kind of a clinical diagnosis for people who do, 1129 01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:56,360 Speaker 1: in fact suffer from Trump derangement syndrome, because that's where 1130 01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:59,040 Speaker 1: we are. We're into that territory now. But yeah, a 1131 01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 1: little bit more cautious in Venezuela is probably a good 1132 01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,320 Speaker 1: thing for this administration. I like that, And don't start 1133 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 1: using lib phrases just to own the Libs because we 1134 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't talk the way that they do. We got our 1135 01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,680 Speaker 1: own way of speaking. And I just wonder because I 1136 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 1: do think it's fairly dangerous, and you brought it up 1137 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:19,479 Speaker 1: after Congress a woman Omart also had some death threats 1138 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,760 Speaker 1: against her. Do you think you know she's obviously now 1139 01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:24,719 Speaker 1: stated she needs to be more careful with their language. 1140 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:26,400 Speaker 1: Don't you think other people who talk about her need 1141 01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:28,120 Speaker 1: to be a little bit more thoughtful as well? Or 1142 01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:30,160 Speaker 1: do you stand by those comments of tying her to 1143 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:35,880 Speaker 1: her rhetoric to the synagogue shooting. That is a conversation 1144 01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:41,519 Speaker 1: between Seth Myers, whom I've never thought was funny or talented, 1145 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:43,880 Speaker 1: and apparently I'm not alone who has one of these 1146 01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:48,880 Speaker 1: late night shows, and Meghan McCain. And full disclosure, Meghan 1147 01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:52,320 Speaker 1: is a friend. Her husband, Ben Dominich, the publisher the Federalist, 1148 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 1: is also a friend. So I always like to tell 1149 01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,719 Speaker 1: you guys when I have any kind of personal connection 1150 01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,559 Speaker 1: that people were talking about. But I want to discuss 1151 01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,679 Speaker 1: this premise that is advanced here by Seth Myers, because 1152 01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:04,599 Speaker 1: he didn't come up with this. This is something that 1153 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,200 Speaker 1: you hear the left doing often, which is, oh, don't 1154 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,519 Speaker 1: you think that you should not criticize this person because 1155 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,479 Speaker 1: some people made death threats against this person or something 1156 01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 1: like that. Let's let's dive into this with our friend 1157 01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:21,360 Speaker 1: David Harsanyi. He's a senior editor at The Federalist, which 1158 01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:23,160 Speaker 1: Ben Dominic is the founder of. But I want to 1159 01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:26,720 Speaker 1: bring him on because Ben and Seth Seth Meyers there's 1160 01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:28,599 Speaker 1: a little bit of a Twitter exchange there that has 1161 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,479 Speaker 1: now gotten a fair bit of media attention. We might 1162 01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 1: talk about that, but first we have mister Harsani joining us. Now, 1163 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,040 Speaker 1: mister harsany great to have you. Oh, thank you for 1164 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,639 Speaker 1: having me Buck also known as David. I don't want 1165 01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,280 Speaker 1: to like to call you mister Harsanyi, but I think 1166 01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:43,880 Speaker 1: your name is fun to say. What is it like? 1167 01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:46,639 Speaker 1: Eastern European by the way, Oh yeah, sort of essential 1168 01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:50,680 Speaker 1: European at Hungarian name. All right, So your piece here 1169 01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:54,599 Speaker 1: is everything Seth Meyers said about Ilhan Omar is wrong 1170 01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,920 Speaker 1: claiming Megan McCain put the congresswoman in danger by criticizing her. 1171 01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:03,160 Speaker 1: It's just a way to bully Omar. Critics take it away, sir, well, 1172 01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,920 Speaker 1: as you just heard you know, it really wasn't a question. 1173 01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:09,200 Speaker 1: It was sort of a rhetor. It was a rhetorical question. 1174 01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,080 Speaker 1: He was actually just lecturing Megan McCain, who I also 1175 01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:18,120 Speaker 1: friends with, and it was a way to to sort 1176 01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:23,000 Speaker 1: of guilt trip people who dare criticize her by sort 1177 01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,360 Speaker 1: of injecting this idea that you're putting her in danger. Now, 1178 01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,720 Speaker 1: that is ridiculous in many ways. One, we don't give 1179 01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,439 Speaker 1: a nut who happens to send a death threat a 1180 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,800 Speaker 1: veto over our criticisms. It's not like Megan McCain or 1181 01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,920 Speaker 1: anyone else that I know of, was saying, hey, you know, 1182 01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:44,400 Speaker 1: let's make elan Omar feel in danger, or let's go 1183 01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:46,719 Speaker 1: to our house and throw things at her, or anything 1184 01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:48,880 Speaker 1: of that nature that were being critical of words she said. 1185 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:52,000 Speaker 1: If we stopped being critical of people who got death threats, 1186 01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:54,680 Speaker 1: we wouldn't be talking to anyone ever who's involved in 1187 01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:58,000 Speaker 1: politics these days. That's the first thing. And the second thing, 1188 01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:02,400 Speaker 1: of course, is that I don't know that Megan tied 1189 01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:06,240 Speaker 1: her to the shooting, as he just said in the 1190 01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:09,320 Speaker 1: California synagogue. I think that, and I don't want to 1191 01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,280 Speaker 1: speak for her, but others who are critical for like 1192 01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:14,559 Speaker 1: me simply are saying that there's an anti Semitism problem 1193 01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,280 Speaker 1: both on left and the right on the fringes, except 1194 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,760 Speaker 1: unfortunately some of those fringes are now elected in the 1195 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:22,879 Speaker 1: Congress by the Democratic Party, and that's a big problem. 1196 01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,960 Speaker 1: I like that you pointed out in your PC here 1197 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,680 Speaker 1: on the Federalist something that I've had to bring up 1198 01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:33,960 Speaker 1: many times in conversations with liberals about overheated rhetoric and 1199 01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,000 Speaker 1: what it can lead to it. And here's how it 1200 01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:39,800 Speaker 1: often goes. You brought up the Bernie Sanders supporter who 1201 01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:42,360 Speaker 1: believed that Trump was a trader, who believed that Trump 1202 01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,040 Speaker 1: had committed treason in Russia and all this stuff, and 1203 01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:47,160 Speaker 1: really would have been right at home with a lot 1204 01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,599 Speaker 1: of people, and I don't mean watchers, I mean people 1205 01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:53,360 Speaker 1: who go on channels like MSNBC and CNN. The things 1206 01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:57,240 Speaker 1: that he believed are very directly supported by what has 1207 01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:00,120 Speaker 1: said on some of those left wing cable channel on 1208 01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,640 Speaker 1: a regular basis. But what I find so fascinating is 1209 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,360 Speaker 1: David when there's an incident of you know, something like 1210 01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,960 Speaker 1: this with ilhan Omar and and then I will bring 1211 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:09,960 Speaker 1: up to liberals that I know and some whom I 1212 01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,400 Speaker 1: work with, I'll say, well, what about the attempted mass 1213 01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:16,439 Speaker 1: assassination of Republican members of Congress by Bernie Sanders supporter. 1214 01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:20,440 Speaker 1: I don't remember you saying that you can't criticize Republican 1215 01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,719 Speaker 1: you know, Freedom Caucus members after that. And not only 1216 01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,760 Speaker 1: are they kind of stumped by the argument that whole 1217 01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:30,000 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders supporter incident, that guy James James Hodgkinson is 1218 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,840 Speaker 1: his name, not just keep bringing up Bernie's name, James Hodgkinson. 1219 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,120 Speaker 1: That's down the memory hole for them. They don't even 1220 01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:39,360 Speaker 1: remember this. Yeah, I mean, they act as if all 1221 01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:42,240 Speaker 1: kind of you know, well violence, all political violence, is 1222 01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:45,640 Speaker 1: always on the right. They took about Charlotte Stille all 1223 01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:48,799 Speaker 1: the time, as if you know, you know, a mainline 1224 01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,920 Speaker 1: Republican supports those sorts of positions and ties them to you. 1225 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,960 Speaker 1: But they never talked about, for instance, people who are 1226 01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:58,720 Speaker 1: you know, breaking Starbucks windows in Seattle or wherever, or 1227 01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:01,200 Speaker 1: having those kind of pro test Those people they pretend 1228 01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:03,519 Speaker 1: have nothing to do with them, even though in my 1229 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,280 Speaker 1: view their ideology is a lot closer to the progressive 1230 01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:08,439 Speaker 1: ideology than mine is to anything that has to do 1231 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:12,080 Speaker 1: with Charlottesville. Protests, but they always pretend that the It's 1232 01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:14,880 Speaker 1: like the other day when um, a bunch of news 1233 01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:18,639 Speaker 1: organizations called Louis Farakon a right winger, you know if 1234 01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,519 Speaker 1: a far right winger. To them, everyone who's bad is 1235 01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:23,080 Speaker 1: on the right wing, and everyone's good is on the 1236 01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:25,800 Speaker 1: left wing. And that's how it's always been. Yeah, that 1237 01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:29,160 Speaker 1: was amazing with the Washington Post right right wing. Uh, 1238 01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:32,640 Speaker 1: you know anti semi Lewis Farrakon. That's that tells you 1239 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,320 Speaker 1: a lot about what because he's a religion you know, 1240 01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:36,559 Speaker 1: he's very religious and he's a religious fanatic, just like 1241 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:40,360 Speaker 1: you guys. What's the arguments online? But using that sort 1242 01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,040 Speaker 1: of argument, you know a lot of these Nazis are 1243 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:46,200 Speaker 1: pro abortion. Uh you know, they're pro you know, status, 1244 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, healthcare, things like that doesn't make them left 1245 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:52,439 Speaker 1: wingers in the way we talk about politics. Yeah, right 1246 01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:56,839 Speaker 1: wing radical Osama bin Laden, I don't think these these apples, 1247 01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,200 Speaker 1: these don't apply the way that they'd like them to. Well, 1248 01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:02,200 Speaker 1: you know, do your point about about when the ideological 1249 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 1: fringe is really not so much the fringe. There are 1250 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,600 Speaker 1: left wing intellectuals who have written, I've actually read the 1251 01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:11,599 Speaker 1: Antifa Handbook, are there are people that on CNN will 1252 01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,200 Speaker 1: go on and say, Chris Cuomo will say that, while 1253 01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:18,200 Speaker 1: you know, maybe Nazi punchings technically illegal, meaning that what 1254 01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,479 Speaker 1: Antifa does, and keep in mind that they often punch 1255 01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,040 Speaker 1: people who are not Nazis. They try to punch people 1256 01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:26,559 Speaker 1: like you know, Milo and Ben Shapiro and you know, 1257 01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 1: Gavin McGinnis and whatever one thinks of these individuals or 1258 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,919 Speaker 1: not who have been protested on campuses and an attacked 1259 01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:36,760 Speaker 1: and such. They're not Nazis. So but Chris Cuomo will 1260 01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:38,559 Speaker 1: go on air and say, yeah, what they do is 1261 01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:40,360 Speaker 1: not really that bad. I wish they do it a 1262 01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,400 Speaker 1: little differently, but it's not that bad. I don't know 1263 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:47,000 Speaker 1: a single conservative of any repute whatsoever who would say, yeah, 1264 01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:48,880 Speaker 1: you know the guys with the tiki torches saying you 1265 01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,479 Speaker 1: will not replace us. I just didn't like the way 1266 01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,200 Speaker 1: they went about it, but the message was right. Nobody 1267 01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:56,160 Speaker 1: would say that if they if they did, they should 1268 01:17:56,160 --> 01:18:01,080 Speaker 1: get roundly intellectually annihilated for it. Right. And I'm not 1269 01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:04,640 Speaker 1: saying ilhan Omar is like the tiki torch Nazis. I 1270 01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:06,800 Speaker 1: am saying she's a lot closer to them than I 1271 01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:09,479 Speaker 1: am and it's not a right left thing. It's when 1272 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:13,040 Speaker 1: it comes to the Jewish question, questions of of of 1273 01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,920 Speaker 1: what you know, like just take a quick step back. 1274 01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:20,160 Speaker 1: Myers also said that you know Omar was being critical 1275 01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:23,400 Speaker 1: of Israel, right, which is a typical line like why 1276 01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:25,640 Speaker 1: can't we be critical? Oh wait, hold on, hold on 1277 01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,000 Speaker 1: a second. Actually we can hear it from the man himself, 1278 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,280 Speaker 1: then you can tell me what you want to say, polaclabate. 1279 01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,960 Speaker 1: Is there a way for people to talk about differences 1280 01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:39,200 Speaker 1: in Israeli policy without getting framed as anti Semitic language? Well, David, 1281 01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:42,800 Speaker 1: is there, Yes, there are. People are critical of Israel 1282 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:45,719 Speaker 1: all the time. In Israel, people are critical of Israel. 1283 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,400 Speaker 1: I am critical of Israel sometimes when I disagree with 1284 01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:51,599 Speaker 1: what they're doing. She wasn't critical of Israel. First of all, 1285 01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:53,880 Speaker 1: there is a difference between being critical of Israel and 1286 01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,000 Speaker 1: saying that Israel shouldn't exist, which is essentially her argument. 1287 01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,599 Speaker 1: But more than that's saying that the Jewish people don't 1288 01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:02,439 Speaker 1: deserve of a state like other people. But more than that, 1289 01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,320 Speaker 1: she was critical, She wasn't critical. She smeared American Jews 1290 01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:09,040 Speaker 1: as seditious people only care about money and are doing 1291 01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:11,559 Speaker 1: things for money and bribe people to get, you know, 1292 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,640 Speaker 1: to bring them onto their side. She was calling Americans 1293 01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:19,560 Speaker 1: American Jews, you know, accusing them of having dual loyalty. 1294 01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:22,800 Speaker 1: She wasn't just critical of Israel. I found when I 1295 01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:27,920 Speaker 1: went through her entire Twitter feed one one one time 1296 01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:31,479 Speaker 1: of her mentioning Benjamin Netanyahu at all. She was critical 1297 01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,080 Speaker 1: of Jews in general, and people just defend her all 1298 01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:37,000 Speaker 1: the time with ridiculous questions like he asked, right there, 1299 01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:41,000 Speaker 1: he's Seth Myers? What's his game here? I mean, I 1300 01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:43,679 Speaker 1: I don't know the guy. I don't think he's funny. 1301 01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,000 Speaker 1: I've never thought he was funny. But that's separate from this, 1302 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 1: and I agree with some of some of Ben's analysis 1303 01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 1: of Seth Meyers's comedy ability that came across in some 1304 01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:56,200 Speaker 1: of the the Twitter. I would have phrased it differently, 1305 01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:57,840 Speaker 1: as I know Ben would admit now he would have 1306 01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,519 Speaker 1: as well. But I don't think that mars of talent 1307 01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,840 Speaker 1: any of the point being what's his game here? I 1308 01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,680 Speaker 1: mean he's not, so is he really so? Obtuse? Is 1309 01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,360 Speaker 1: to think that a way to argue with somebody is 1310 01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:11,120 Speaker 1: to say, well, you criticize someone and other people say 1311 01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,240 Speaker 1: really mean things to that person. So aren't you kind 1312 01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,960 Speaker 1: of responsible for the death threats that that person gets? 1313 01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:20,040 Speaker 1: I mean that would shut down criticism of all public figures. Yeah, 1314 01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,320 Speaker 1: I mean he has to know that though, right, David, So, 1315 01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:24,639 Speaker 1: what's the game is it? Is it just in the moment, 1316 01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,200 Speaker 1: he's just repeating what we see, you know, a bunch 1317 01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:29,840 Speaker 1: of progressive types repeating all the time on this issue. 1318 01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:32,200 Speaker 1: It's the same. I mean, he's using the argument to 1319 01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:36,960 Speaker 1: basically Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and everyone used when she 1320 01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,839 Speaker 1: got in trouble, you know, two times ago or whatever 1321 01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,720 Speaker 1: the last time was, so she you know, it's just 1322 01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:45,439 Speaker 1: an argument. He hears and reads and whatever he is reading, 1323 01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:47,439 Speaker 1: which I you know, we can suspect what he's reading 1324 01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:50,200 Speaker 1: and watching, and he repeats them. I don't know enough 1325 01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:51,720 Speaker 1: about the guy. I'm not really a fan. I never 1326 01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 1: thought he was that funny. I think Ben, um, you know, 1327 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,120 Speaker 1: if you're talking about a little Twitter interaction, I think 1328 01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,200 Speaker 1: that when someone goes after your wife, you get emotional 1329 01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,679 Speaker 1: alegazying with that. Maybe you know, I know Ben tweeted 1330 01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:04,880 Speaker 1: out that he regretted just how hard he went after him. 1331 01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:07,640 Speaker 1: But I think he just regretted the language I mean, 1332 01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,320 Speaker 1: or rather, but you know, I think I told Ben 1333 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:12,880 Speaker 1: I think the sentiments about Seth Meyers being a punk 1334 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:17,040 Speaker 1: or accurate. So yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, I 1335 01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:20,240 Speaker 1: think everyone gets a little bit too hysterical and serious 1336 01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:22,719 Speaker 1: about everything that someone says in a fit of anger 1337 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 1: on Twitter. You know, I don't think, yeah whatever, I don't. 1338 01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:27,240 Speaker 1: I'll let Ben talk about that himself. But yeah, I 1339 01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:28,680 Speaker 1: gotta have him on the show to talk about this 1340 01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:30,519 Speaker 1: when he wants. But you know, I figured why. I 1341 01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:32,360 Speaker 1: don't know what he was thinking, but I know if 1342 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,800 Speaker 1: someone would attack my wife in that way, which seems 1343 01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,479 Speaker 1: unfair and sort of seems like an ambush, not something 1344 01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,000 Speaker 1: that you normally talk about on late night TV. And 1345 01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,800 Speaker 1: that's the problem with late night TV these days. A 1346 01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,080 Speaker 1: few times I do wander in there to watch, it's 1347 01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,000 Speaker 1: never it's like I'm being lectured all the time. I 1348 01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 1: can't take it anymore. So yeah, I mean, I don't 1349 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,240 Speaker 1: think he's funny. I think his game is that he's 1350 01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,360 Speaker 1: a progressive and he just repeats the same talking points 1351 01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,280 Speaker 1: we're here all the time. It's not very inventive, and 1352 01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:57,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of you know, ridiculous and it needs but 1353 01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,160 Speaker 1: it needs to constantly be pointed out what they're doing, 1354 01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:05,320 Speaker 1: misleading people with with loaded questions that deflect from the 1355 01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:09,480 Speaker 1: actual issues that are the problem. And I just gotta say, um, 1356 01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:11,800 Speaker 1: I found out for the first time here that there's 1357 01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:13,960 Speaker 1: a missus Harsani. I didn't I do not even know this. 1358 01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:17,840 Speaker 1: When am I going to get invited over for some 1359 01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:22,600 Speaker 1: meat loaf? Harsani?

David 1368 01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:49,920 Speaker 1: was at the Blaze back in twenty eleven. Man, we're 1369 01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:54,919 Speaker 1: going on almost a decade of Harsani Sexton Conservative synergy, 1370 01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:58,240 Speaker 1: so it's been a long time.

Check out his article on 1377 01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:18,920 Speaker 1: the Federalist dot com, which is everything Seth Meyers said 1378 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:21,679 Speaker 1: about ilhan Omar is wrong. It is well worth read 1379 01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:24,160 Speaker 1: and David, thanks for making the time my friend anytime. 1380 01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:26,160 Speaker 1: Talk to you soon. All right, team, we will be 1381 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,800 Speaker 1: right back at the Republican Party. I have to say 1382 01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:31,400 Speaker 1: this is really very much becoming the Party of Healthcare 1383 01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:35,839 Speaker 1: usue what we're doing. We're determined to end surprise medical 1384 01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:40,479 Speaker 1: billing for American patients and that's happening right now. We've 1385 01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:44,599 Speaker 1: vastly expanded lower cost health insurance plans. That's happening and 1386 01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:49,040 Speaker 1: it's been an incredible success. We've begun a bold initiative 1387 01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,840 Speaker 1: to reduce the price of prescription drugs, and last year 1388 01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:56,000 Speaker 1: drug prices so their first decline in forty six years, 1389 01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:58,920 Speaker 1: first time in forty six years that drug prices have 1390 01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:00,920 Speaker 1: gone down, and now are going to be going down 1391 01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:04,479 Speaker 1: a long way further, including the fact that we may 1392 01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:08,519 Speaker 1: allow states to buy drugs in other countries if we 1393 01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:12,439 Speaker 1: can buy them for a lesser price, substantially less price. 1394 01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:16,720 Speaker 1: Trump administration has got to get this message out there 1395 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:23,240 Speaker 1: more folks that healthcare is the under the surface iceberg 1396 01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:26,439 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty election. What I mean by that 1397 01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:30,439 Speaker 1: is the healthcare issue because I think people, you know, 1398 01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:33,280 Speaker 1: we've heard about it so much, especially since the Obamacare era. 1399 01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,519 Speaker 1: We've been being told about you know, oh, this needs 1400 01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,760 Speaker 1: to happen with healthcare. That needs to happen that, and 1401 01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,400 Speaker 1: it feels like not all that much has changed that 1402 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:44,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't rate on the news channels, it doesn't get 1403 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:47,920 Speaker 1: the base all fired up. But Trump and this administration 1404 01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:53,240 Speaker 1: are doing really good things on healthcare, and that's gonna matter. 1405 01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,320 Speaker 1: That's gonna matter the number one in the election, the 1406 01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:59,760 Speaker 1: number one issue in this mid term, and the thing 1407 01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:02,200 Speaker 1: that I will say Democrats managed to do pretty well 1408 01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:04,200 Speaker 1: on because they were all just saying, well, we just 1409 01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:06,719 Speaker 1: want to keep Obamacare, you know, don't throw people off insurance. 1410 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:10,360 Speaker 1: Obamacare is designed to give you the sweets upfront, not 1411 01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:12,040 Speaker 1: tell you what the calories are. They give you all 1412 01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:14,640 Speaker 1: the suites up front, stand your parents' insurance to your 1413 01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:18,920 Speaker 1: twenty six pre existing conditions are covered, and then has 1414 01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:22,000 Speaker 1: built in talking points this many people are covered. Now, 1415 01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,200 Speaker 1: if you try to get rid of Obamacare, you're taking 1416 01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:27,639 Speaker 1: away people's insurance. You're taking away from all these people. 1417 01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:29,880 Speaker 1: They don't ever deal with the fact that for so 1418 01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:33,120 Speaker 1: many people, they had to lose their initial insurance plan 1419 01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:35,800 Speaker 1: to get on their crappy or more expensive Obamacare plan 1420 01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:40,040 Speaker 1: that they don't want to be on. But it's very rhetorically, 1421 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:45,280 Speaker 1: it's very effective. Democrats have a built in advantage on 1422 01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:50,280 Speaker 1: the issue of healthcare and Republicans have to go at that. Now. 1423 01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna be hopefully not too much of an 1424 01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:58,519 Speaker 1: emotional roller coaster going in this election because I think 1425 01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:02,360 Speaker 1: that Trump has earned four more years and then some, 1426 01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:07,960 Speaker 1: and that you could have Joe Biden or any of 1427 01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,760 Speaker 1: these Democrats taking over. It's just I can't be in 1428 01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 1: DC for that. I was gonna that that can't happen. 1429 01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,360 Speaker 1: I gotta be out if there's gonna be any of 1430 01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:20,599 Speaker 1: these guys running the show. But these kitchen table core 1431 01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:23,439 Speaker 1: political issues are going to be very very important, and 1432 01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:27,640 Speaker 1: that's why the action on healthcare pricing, transparency, this is 1433 01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:30,559 Speaker 1: this is you know, I think I mentioned on the 1434 01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:32,280 Speaker 1: show that I had to go to the er maybe 1435 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,479 Speaker 1: six months ago and actually finally just paid the bill. 1436 01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:38,760 Speaker 1: It's an outrage, an outrage what they charged me, and 1437 01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:40,920 Speaker 1: I have health insurance. What they charged me to go 1438 01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:42,320 Speaker 1: to the ear just to get checked out by a 1439 01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:44,040 Speaker 1: doctor and make sure I I kind of a fever. 1440 01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:45,880 Speaker 1: I want to make sure I didn't have a you know, 1441 01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:51,200 Speaker 1: a serious, a serious infection. And uh, it's it's just 1442 01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:54,040 Speaker 1: wild what happens when you go into a hospital because 1443 01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:58,360 Speaker 1: the people who can pay the hospitals. Basic mantra is, well, 1444 01:26:58,400 --> 01:26:59,880 Speaker 1: if you if you got any money and you got 1445 01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:02,040 Speaker 1: an insurance, we're gonna rinse you. I mean we're gonna 1446 01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:05,599 Speaker 1: turn you upside down, empty out your pockets and just 1447 01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:09,360 Speaker 1: take everything we can. I mean, we're just gonna do 1448 01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:12,320 Speaker 1: whatever we can to get as much money out of 1449 01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,840 Speaker 1: you as possible. And it's it's wrong. It's wrong that 1450 01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:19,080 Speaker 1: there should be prices. We should know what the prices are. 1451 01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:22,200 Speaker 1: This would make a huge difference. If people knew what 1452 01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:26,439 Speaker 1: things were gonna cost before they got them, then they 1453 01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:30,000 Speaker 1: would feel differently about what they're ordering off the healthcare menu. 1454 01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:32,800 Speaker 1: So to speak right. Imagine going to a restaurant and 1455 01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,559 Speaker 1: there's no prices on anything, and it's not a prefix, right, 1456 01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:38,879 Speaker 1: a fixed price menu, and you get the bill afterwards 1457 01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:40,720 Speaker 1: they say, oh, you thought that bottle of wine that 1458 01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,840 Speaker 1: you was twenty dollars, it's two hundred dollars. You would 1459 01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:47,200 Speaker 1: be ticked off. That is our healthcare system. In fact, 1460 01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,080 Speaker 1: it's really like, oh, you thought it was two you 1461 01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:50,760 Speaker 1: thought it was twenty dollars, But we brought in a 1462 01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:54,080 Speaker 1: difference soma and he's the best somaia in the whole country. 1463 01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:56,519 Speaker 1: So it's two thousand dollars now because that's so mya 1464 01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:58,840 Speaker 1: adds to the price of that wine. They do this 1465 01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:02,519 Speaker 1: with anesthesiology with different providers. You'll get a different provider 1466 01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:04,400 Speaker 1: that shows up during a surgery who's not a network 1467 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:08,040 Speaker 1: and get some obscene bill, like bankrupt you level bill 1468 01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:11,719 Speaker 1: that you had no control over. And obviously, drug prices, 1469 01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:14,320 Speaker 1: this is another area where yeah, I want innovation and 1470 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:16,120 Speaker 1: I want better drugs and all that stuff too, but 1471 01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,960 Speaker 1: the drug companies give a ton of money to DC. 1472 01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:22,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of shenanigans going on. There's a lot 1473 01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:25,880 Speaker 1: of chronyism with the drug companies. Don't think, don't think 1474 01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:28,000 Speaker 1: there's not you know, I'm not trying to get all 1475 01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,040 Speaker 1: Sandernista on you here. Of a lot of what the 1476 01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:33,479 Speaker 1: drug companies do is try to maintain their patents by 1477 01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:36,840 Speaker 1: changing the delivery mechanism a little bit, or they just 1478 01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,759 Speaker 1: they do everything that they can to maintain their legal 1479 01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:45,880 Speaker 1: advantage by trying to game the system for different drugs. 1480 01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:47,519 Speaker 1: I mean, why is it the case that you have 1481 01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:49,719 Speaker 1: drugs that are available in a lot of other countries, 1482 01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:51,880 Speaker 1: a lot of developed countries that aren't very expensive, but 1483 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:55,400 Speaker 1: in this country they're very expensive. It's wrong and that's illegal. 1484 01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:57,559 Speaker 1: That's not a market issue, that's a legal issue, meaning 1485 01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:02,280 Speaker 1: that there's there's a creation eagle cartel that is created 1486 01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:05,639 Speaker 1: because drug companies are greasing the palms of a lot 1487 01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,720 Speaker 1: of people here in DC. So Trump has taken this on. 1488 01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,400 Speaker 1: This is important. They got to stay on this and 1489 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:13,479 Speaker 1: this needs to be a part of the messaging, a 1490 01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:15,559 Speaker 1: big part of it for twenty twenty. If we're gonna win, 1491 01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:21,880 Speaker 1: you are now entering the Freedom Hottle Operation Center. All 1492 01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:26,880 Speaker 1: programs Musky Caps strictly need to know Team Buck is 1493 01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:32,599 Speaker 1: cleared and ready for the Buck Brief. Kim jung un 1494 01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:39,000 Speaker 1: has launched two short range missiles. Is the second weapons 1495 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:43,120 Speaker 1: test in less than a week. This is happening right 1496 01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:46,840 Speaker 1: as there is a meeting schedule between a US envoy 1497 01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:49,920 Speaker 1: and North Korea to try and come up with some 1498 01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:55,559 Speaker 1: way forward here on the North Korean nuclear program. You 1499 01:29:55,680 --> 01:30:00,080 Speaker 1: also have the China trade deal that try to a 1500 01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:05,799 Speaker 1: deal that right now it's we'll see. The Washington Examiner 1501 01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:07,400 Speaker 1: reports you that China says it wants to meet the 1502 01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:10,240 Speaker 1: US halfway on the trade deal. I'm very curious to 1503 01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:14,320 Speaker 1: see what their version of halfway will be. President Trump 1504 01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:18,640 Speaker 1: has said that China tariffs are going to increase. And 1505 01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:20,680 Speaker 1: keep in mind that we always have to think about 1506 01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:24,120 Speaker 1: North Korea and China as very much related issues. Without 1507 01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:32,559 Speaker 1: Chinese support and Chinese toleration, really, North Korea would would collapse. 1508 01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:35,160 Speaker 1: China is the only country in the world that could 1509 01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,760 Speaker 1: very easily just collapse North Korea without going to war 1510 01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:40,120 Speaker 1: with it. They could just cut them off, and that 1511 01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,760 Speaker 1: would be that the country would come. You probably have 1512 01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:44,720 Speaker 1: a vast famine him. I'm not saying it would be 1513 01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:49,559 Speaker 1: humanitarian or pleasant, but it is possible. In the Chinese 1514 01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:52,880 Speaker 1: government's power. You got the but those are two issues 1515 01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:56,880 Speaker 1: you always should think of. It's like afpack. When I 1516 01:30:56,920 --> 01:31:01,960 Speaker 1: worked Afghanistan issue at the CIA, it came very very 1517 01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:04,720 Speaker 1: much the standard to refer to it instead of just 1518 01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:08,840 Speaker 1: Afghanistan issue for a pack Afghanistan Pakistan, because you can't 1519 01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:12,679 Speaker 1: really understand what's happening in Afghanistan without understanding at least 1520 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:17,600 Speaker 1: what's happening in the border areas in the north and 1521 01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:21,759 Speaker 1: west of Pakistan along the Afghanistan border. So APAC, there's 1522 01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:25,679 Speaker 1: really China dah nk as well of North Korea. China 1523 01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:28,439 Speaker 1: very much on a security level. On an economic level too, 1524 01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:34,120 Speaker 1: related issues. So we may have two hundred billion dollars 1525 01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:37,120 Speaker 1: of Chinese goods that get a big tariff slapped on 1526 01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:41,800 Speaker 1: them as of tomorrow morning. As of tomorrow morning, this 1527 01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:47,200 Speaker 1: has a spoot. The market's a little bit. This could 1528 01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:51,280 Speaker 1: be something that has economic effects in this country. People 1529 01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:54,559 Speaker 1: are concerned about it. The S ANDP Index was down 1530 01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:57,519 Speaker 1: a little over one percent earlier today. I mean, I 1531 01:31:57,520 --> 01:31:59,280 Speaker 1: don't know what it is now. It always jumps around. 1532 01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:04,800 Speaker 1: Here's the good news, though, folks. I'm going over there 1533 01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:08,360 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna fix everything, or at least I'm gonna 1534 01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:11,320 Speaker 1: try if I come back and the China Trade Deal 1535 01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:14,920 Speaker 1: is done and North Korea has de nuclearized, let's just 1536 01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:18,360 Speaker 1: say that I told you so. But no, I really 1537 01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:20,519 Speaker 1: am just going over as a tourist, going to go 1538 01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:24,040 Speaker 1: have some meetings, do some fun stuff. I am going 1539 01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:27,040 Speaker 1: to be out. Tomorrow will be my last day for 1540 01:32:27,080 --> 01:32:30,240 Speaker 1: a solid week in the Freedom Hut, but I'm gonna 1541 01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:32,840 Speaker 1: be over in China. I really think it's necessary at 1542 01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:39,240 Speaker 1: this time. And you know, the future of national security 1543 01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:43,320 Speaker 1: in this country, of economics in this country, it's gonna 1544 01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:45,840 Speaker 1: be so intertwined with what goes on in this part 1545 01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:48,160 Speaker 1: of the world that I just feel like I need 1546 01:32:48,200 --> 01:32:52,320 Speaker 1: that personal experience of being over and seeing it, smelling it, 1547 01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:56,559 Speaker 1: talking to people, understanding a little bit of what it's, 1548 01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:58,800 Speaker 1: just getting a feel for getting a tiny bit of 1549 01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:01,360 Speaker 1: ground truth over the course. I know it's only a week. 1550 01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:02,519 Speaker 1: I mean, I wish I could tell you I was 1551 01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:04,400 Speaker 1: going to deploy there for six months. Then i'd really 1552 01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:07,840 Speaker 1: have something to bring back. But just even that I 1553 01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:10,599 Speaker 1: think will be eye opening and I'm really looking forward 1554 01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:12,400 Speaker 1: to it. I think it'll add to my ability to 1555 01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:16,400 Speaker 1: explain things going on in China on this show. And 1556 01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:19,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to be getting deeper into that issue. I'm 1557 01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:23,919 Speaker 1: going to make this an exercise of continuous deep diving 1558 01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:27,360 Speaker 1: to make sure that everyone listens feels like they have 1559 01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:30,240 Speaker 1: a pretty deep knowledge base as well of what's going 1560 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:32,560 Speaker 1: on in China, because one of the mandates of the 1561 01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:34,840 Speaker 1: show is that I will bring you information that is 1562 01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:37,719 Speaker 1: useful and bring you information that will help you stay 1563 01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:41,640 Speaker 1: very much ahead of where other folks who listen to 1564 01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:45,400 Speaker 1: other shows will be. Speaking of other folks, I do 1565 01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:47,840 Speaker 1: want to tell you that next week we have a 1566 01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:52,720 Speaker 1: rock star lineup of fillion hosts guest hosts that are 1567 01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:57,040 Speaker 1: planned as of now.

Game of Thrones is up 1631 01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:31,280 Speaker 1: to this point, in my opinion, not what it should 1632 01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:36,639 Speaker 1: be for this season. Overall, still a fantastic show. John 1633 01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:39,760 Speaker 1: writes Shields High real news fan the left and the 1634 01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:42,559 Speaker 1: media have taken the George Coustands a playbook and are 1635 01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:45,640 Speaker 1: running it hard. It's not a lie if you believe it. 1636 01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:50,920 Speaker 1: Commibert lives John, I don't know that specific George coustands 1637 01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:55,680 Speaker 1: a reference. But I do like Seinfeldt. So there's that, 1638 01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:57,280 Speaker 1: and yes it's not a lie if you believe it. 1639 01:37:57,320 --> 01:38:02,639 Speaker 1: I suppose is the George Costanza truck. Chess in Rights. 1640 01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:06,120 Speaker 1: I was listening to podcast from yesterday. The idea the 1641 01:38:06,200 --> 01:38:10,840 Speaker 1: FBI's beyond reproach is amusing the fact that the headquarters 1642 01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:13,599 Speaker 1: is named after Hoover. It's a very good point. Chessen 1643 01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:16,160 Speaker 1: shows that they're an agency and government at large are 1644 01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:18,439 Speaker 1: okay with playing not just fast and loose, but also 1645 01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:21,960 Speaker 1: bitter and vindictive. Looking at Hoover being the director of 1646 01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:27,559 Speaker 1: the FBI would make James Comy in good company shields high. 1647 01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:32,360 Speaker 1: You raise a very good point, Chesson, about the FBI 1648 01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:36,760 Speaker 1: being named after Hoover. That is certainly shady when you 1649 01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:39,679 Speaker 1: think about it. Hoover, well, I don't you know. There's 1650 01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:42,240 Speaker 1: people are they dispute some of the stuff that was 1651 01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:44,240 Speaker 1: said about Hoover, but he was very very powerful. I 1652 01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:46,439 Speaker 1: don't know. I you know, I should probably do a 1653 01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:49,400 Speaker 1: deep dive on my own into jag Jay Edgar Hoover 1654 01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:52,479 Speaker 1: and see where you know what the truth is of 1655 01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:57,840 Speaker 1: whether he was really a power mad rasputin behind the 1656 01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:00,160 Speaker 1: scenes or not. That's kind of the pop culture your 1657 01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:02,840 Speaker 1: sensibility about him. But you know, I don't like just 1658 01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:06,400 Speaker 1: taking that at face value because it's often not true, 1659 01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:10,160 Speaker 1: as we know. So you've inspired me Chessen to do 1660 01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:14,000 Speaker 1: a little more looking into j Edgar Hoover and his background. 1661 01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:19,760 Speaker 1: Mark Writes mentioned a commercials wearing roll call Buck on May. 1662 01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of commercials either, However, look at 1663 01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:25,040 Speaker 1: it this way.

Remember when I first messaged you back 1683 01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:29,680 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen and told you I wanted to be 1684 01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:32,719 Speaker 1: a radio host like you while I'm living the dream. 1685 01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:35,599 Speaker 1: Below is a pick of me djaying for my campus 1686 01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:40,280 Speaker 1: radio station, Shields High from the show me state Braden. 1687 01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:45,519 Speaker 1: That is awesome, my friend, Brandon. I am so if 1688 01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:47,559 Speaker 1: I may say, so, very very proud of you that 1689 01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:50,679 Speaker 1: I remember a team. Buck has decided to get into 1690 01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:53,720 Speaker 1: the radio biz for himself or herself. If anyone out 1691 01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:58,439 Speaker 1: there's a lady who's getting involved, it's fantastic. And there's 1692 01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:00,920 Speaker 1: the thing about radio is that it's not work if 1693 01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:02,360 Speaker 1: you love it. If you don't love it, it's the 1694 01:41:02,360 --> 01:41:04,200 Speaker 1: hardest job in the universe. I mean, I know people 1695 01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:06,439 Speaker 1: that work in media and the thought of doing a 1696 01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:09,920 Speaker 1: three hour radio show gives them night sweats. But if 1697 01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:11,720 Speaker 1: you like radio, this is the best. I mean, it's 1698 01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:16,960 Speaker 1: almost it's a form of meditation for me every day. 1699 01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:18,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the three hours that I spend with all 1700 01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:23,160 Speaker 1: of you is when everything that I'm thinking about, reading about, 1701 01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:25,960 Speaker 1: I get to synthesize it all, makes sense of it all, 1702 01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,080 Speaker 1: and share it with you and then have your thoughts 1703 01:41:28,120 --> 01:41:31,960 Speaker 1: shared back with me. And it's a magical thing. The 1704 01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:34,519 Speaker 1: radio relationship is very special. I've said this before, but 1705 01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:38,479 Speaker 1: I always know when somebody knows me from This doesn't 1706 01:41:38,479 --> 01:41:40,160 Speaker 1: happen as much now because I don't do CNN and 1707 01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:42,840 Speaker 1: I'm in very blue places. But although I did have 1708 01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:44,120 Speaker 1: a woman come up to me who was a Fox 1709 01:41:44,200 --> 01:41:47,599 Speaker 1: News watcher recently and she's like, wait, is that are you? 1710 01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:49,439 Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, I just got a beard now. 1711 01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:52,080 Speaker 1: She was yes, she didn't recognize me with the beard, 1712 01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:56,120 Speaker 1: so I guess the beard's pretty manly now, or at 1713 01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:59,639 Speaker 1: least bushy. But people who know me from the CNN 1714 01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:01,639 Speaker 1: day would come up me and they kind of looking 1715 01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:02,760 Speaker 1: at me and say, yeah, I think I saw you 1716 01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:04,960 Speaker 1: on CNN And they had this kind of quizzical like 1717 01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm too cool to know who you are, but I 1718 01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:09,040 Speaker 1: kind of know that I've seen you on TV. So 1719 01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:11,599 Speaker 1: but people who know me from radio, they know they're 1720 01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:13,640 Speaker 1: my friends. When I see them in airports, when I 1721 01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:16,280 Speaker 1: see them at restaurants that they know, Hey, Buck, and 1722 01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:19,160 Speaker 1: I want to talk to them because they are if 1723 01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:21,040 Speaker 1: they are part of Team Buck, they are my friends, 1724 01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:23,599 Speaker 1: and I don't have to think about it. That's just 1725 01:42:23,640 --> 01:42:27,600 Speaker 1: the feeling that you get from having this kind of relationship. 1726 01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:33,000 Speaker 1: So there you go. Radio relationships a very powerful thing. 1727 01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:35,960 Speaker 1: Rob Right's Hey there, Buck, love your show and listen 1728 01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:38,439 Speaker 1: via podcast. I have to tell you the ads for 1729 01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:41,880 Speaker 1: other podcasts are really bad. It's getting hard to follow. 1730 01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:45,240 Speaker 1: You're talking about all the interruptions, Rob, I'm I have 1731 01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:48,080 Speaker 1: some meetings coming up. I'm gonna talk to the powers 1732 01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:50,240 Speaker 1: that be and we'll see if we can what we 1733 01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:52,280 Speaker 1: can do on the podcast side to get the ads 1734 01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:55,559 Speaker 1: to be a little less annoying. I am sorry about that. 1735 01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,080 Speaker 1: Is obviously not something that I'm in charge of or 1736 01:42:58,120 --> 01:43:02,160 Speaker 1: picking out. I'm working on it. Evan writes, like the Beard, 1737 01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:05,960 Speaker 1: here are some book recommendations. The Source by James Mitchener 1738 01:43:06,280 --> 01:43:09,360 Speaker 1: is a great overview of Jewish and Israeli history. God's 1739 01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:13,479 Speaker 1: Crucible by David Levering Lewis Great History of Islam and 1740 01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:17,519 Speaker 1: Sailing from Byzantium, How a Lost Empire Shaped the World 1741 01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:21,960 Speaker 1: by Colin Wells, Awesome history of you guessed it Byzantium, 1742 01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:26,200 Speaker 1: Happy Travels, Evan. That is that's very cool man. Thank 1743 01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:30,000 Speaker 1: you for those recommendations. I am definitely going to check 1744 01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:31,880 Speaker 1: those out. I am looking forward to seeing what you 1745 01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:36,800 Speaker 1: recommend them, what you got in store for me. Let's 1746 01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:42,360 Speaker 1: see run rights. I'll keep it short. Abortion is no 1747 01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:46,360 Speaker 1: laughing matter. But every time I hear Alabama Representative John 1748 01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:48,439 Speaker 1: Rogers killed them now or kill them later statement, I 1749 01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:50,920 Speaker 1: have to laugh not at his words but the indefensible 1750 01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:54,360 Speaker 1: position at places the pro choicers in kill them now 1751 01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:57,639 Speaker 1: kill implies that life must exist. If the onboard child 1752 01:43:57,680 --> 01:43:59,200 Speaker 1: can be killed, then he or she must be a 1753 01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:02,040 Speaker 1: living person. That simply does not square with the pro 1754 01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:05,880 Speaker 1: abortionist stance. None of their euphemisms used to describe what's 1755 01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:08,439 Speaker 1: inside the mother leaves room for that child to be 1756 01:44:08,479 --> 01:44:11,160 Speaker 1: called a life. For John Rodgers, a life is what 1757 01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:13,559 Speaker 1: that mother wants to control, not just hers, but the 1758 01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:15,920 Speaker 1: life of the child she is caring. If only there 1759 01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:17,880 Speaker 1: was some hard hitting interviewer who could pose that canun 1760 01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:21,120 Speaker 1: and representative Rodgers or his defenders. I would pay to 1761 01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:24,840 Speaker 1: see that one shields high well ron Well said on 1762 01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:28,080 Speaker 1: the incoherence of the pro abortion stance when it comes 1763 01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:32,880 Speaker 1: to life. Jeff, in a moment of deep thought last week, 1764 01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:35,400 Speaker 1: I asked myself the question, is it ironic that Washington 1765 01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:39,440 Speaker 1: d C. Has three electoral votes? They don't have actual representatives, 1766 01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:43,080 Speaker 1: or so I think, But for some reason someone thought 1767 01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:45,439 Speaker 1: it was necessary to amend the constitution to give them 1768 01:44:45,520 --> 01:44:49,880 Speaker 1: three electoral votes. Well, Jeff, thank you for the little 1769 01:44:49,880 --> 01:44:54,080 Speaker 1: bit of trivia. My friends, James, thank you Buck for 1770 01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:56,280 Speaker 1: reading Facebook message from your fans.

I am indebted to you, 1779 01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:21,400 Speaker 1: and I really really do appreciate it, and I am 1780 01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:25,080 Speaker 1: humbled by it every day. You know, I'm not about 1781 01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:27,160 Speaker 1: to fly around on buck Force one. This is a 1782 01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:30,160 Speaker 1: labor of love, my friends. Although keep buying, keep buying 1783 01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:32,120 Speaker 1: the different sponsors, and maybe we'll get buck Force one 1784 01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:37,200 Speaker 1: one day. Let's see whoa Brian? This looks great, but 1785 01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,559 Speaker 1: this is long, so I don't have time to read 1786 01:45:40,560 --> 01:45:42,880 Speaker 1: it right now. Kevin, I don't know how to send 1787 01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:45,400 Speaker 1: you a roll call message. Well, Kevin, yes you do, 1788 01:45:45,439 --> 01:45:48,200 Speaker 1: because you said one. The media are claiming Trump's billions 1789 01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:51,200 Speaker 1: and losses reflect his eighties taxes. That shows that he 1790 01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:53,559 Speaker 1: was bad at business. If they really believe that, and 1791 01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:55,920 Speaker 1: we know they don't, I'm sure they would not mind 1792 01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:58,599 Speaker 1: amending the Internal Revenue Code to allow real estate developers 1793 01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:01,040 Speaker 1: to write off those passive laws as they could in 1794 01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:04,040 Speaker 1: the eighties. Back then, Trump's tax position was so smart, 1795 01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:07,679 Speaker 1: Democrats considered it abusive and demanded its elimination. Now those 1796 01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:10,360 Speaker 1: making Democrat claims take the position it was bad business. 1797 01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:16,840 Speaker 1: In other words, libs lie, well, Kevin well, put my friend, 1798 01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:19,599 Speaker 1: libs do lie. And I suppose that's a perfect place 1799 01:46:19,600 --> 01:46:22,440 Speaker 1: to end today's show. Shields high
