The White House was pushing a lie, pushing 26 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: false statistics and doing it as part of identity politics 27 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: and part of our ongoing culture war in this country 28 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: are really a war on the culture. We will talk 29 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: about that. I also have a little backstory history segment 30 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: plan for you coming up later in the show about 31 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: one of the most important battles in our history that 32 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: very few people know much of out and and very 33 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: few people have heard about, and it came up in 34 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: the context of the statue battle. So just put a 35 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: pin in that you're gonna have to listen through to 36 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: the end of the show to get to which battle 37 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: I'm referring to, um, but I promise you it'll be 38 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: well worth the time. And then I also have in 39 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: mind that we will get into the latest on Dreamers 40 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: and docca very inching piece from Mickey Cows on that 41 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: that I wanted to share with all of you and 42 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: of I but of course my friends, the Hillary the 43 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: Hillary World Tour or I guess it's just a tour 44 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: of the United States, but with the media as she's everywhere. 45 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: So those are all all things were going to be 46 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: discussing today on the show. Very very much looking forward 47 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: to hitting those topics with you. But let's let's start with, UH, 48 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: something that we discussed yesterday, something that came up yesterday 49 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: in the show, and it has now caught fire. Uh. 50 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: It is now a much bigger topic. It's trending, it's 51 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: it's you know, there are memes that it's all over 52 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: the place because the White House has now weighed in. Uh. 53 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: And here's the basics of the story. You have a 54 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: a reporter from ESPN, Jamal Hill. I do not watch 55 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: much ESPN, and when I do, it's usually because there's 56 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: some political crossover story where we are being forced what 57 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: we think we're gonna hear about football? We think we're 58 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: gonna have escape, right right, That's one of the reasons 59 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: we love sports so much. Sports. Let's us escape it. Sports. 60 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: There are there are heroes, there are victories, there are 61 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: battles well fought. It's something that can bring us all together. 62 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: And even sports that I'm not all that into. I mean, 63 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: it's tough for me to get that excited about shuffle board, 64 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: but I'm sure there's a lot of practice and skill involved, 65 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: so I shouldn't were curling. Is that I'm thinking of 66 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: curling shuffle boards a board game. I meant curling, thank 67 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: you sorry, which is an Olympic sport. It's tough for 68 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: me to get excited about curling, but I'm sure there 69 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: are people that do. But a lot of other sports 70 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: out there I can respect the athleticism of. But you 71 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: know all this, I don't know. I'm not telling you anything. 72 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: Um not telling you anything you don't already know. With that, 73 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: so when you have politics jammed down your throat when 74 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: you think you're going to be watching sports, it gets 75 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: it gets annoying. Uh And ESPN has been guilty of 76 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: this for some time. You had that comical beyond belief 77 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: situation of Robert Lee being pulled off of a game 78 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: because people thought at ESPN that he would be made 79 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: fun of because an Asian American with the name Robert 80 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: Lee is going to remind people of Robert E. Lee 81 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: the general. I should note, wherever you are across the 82 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: country right now, if you were looking, no one has 83 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: phone books anymore. But if you were to type in 84 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: in a White Pages or is it the Yellow Pages 85 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: which is the one for people? White pages? No one 86 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: even has these anymore. Yeah, white pages directory. Um, you know, 87 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: you look for Robert Lee and I'm sure you'd find 88 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: a whole lot of people. But the politicization of sports 89 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: has been ongoing for some time as sports has become 90 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: huge business, massive media reach. You know, you think you 91 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: have a successful news platform or media platform, and then 92 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: you look at what the ratings are for Monday Night football, 93 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: You're like, WHOA, Okay, well, you know they're they're they're 94 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: successful and they're successful. Uh. And obviously the Colin Kaepernick 95 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: situation and his taking and taking a kneed in the 96 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: national anthem, all of this we've been seeing this for 97 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: some time. But here's why this is a little bit 98 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: more than just that. With Jamal Hill, when you refer 99 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: to the president as a white supremacist, and I should 100 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: say I don't believe that people should be fired for 101 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: their political positions, but I also believe that we need 102 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: to hammer the double standard that exists here with everything 103 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: we've got. Jamal Hill said in a tweet that the 104 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: president is a white supremacist who surrounds himself with white supremacists. 105 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: This is part of a larger narrative that's been going 106 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: on for some time, and it's a very destructive one. 107 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: It's deeply troubling that the Republican Party, and this is 108 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: being pushed by major media outlets. This is being pushed 109 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: at MSNBC, pushed at CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, 110 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: you name it, that the Republican Party is in fact 111 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: a party of white supremacy, white supremacy. So this is 112 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: the storyline. Russia collusion didn't work. Didn't work. They thought 113 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: that might end the administration. Didn't work. Maybe still they 114 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: hope that the Special Council will cause major disruptions for 115 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: the Trump White House. But they're gonna have to wait 116 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: on that one, and they're going to have a fight 117 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: on their hands. So now the narrative, the storyline to 118 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: destroy Trump, to destroy this White House, has to do 119 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: with white supremacy. Now, when you step back, many of 120 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: us will think, hold on, hold on a second, white supremacy, 121 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: uh supremacy as a term that is thrown about so liberally. 122 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: This is kind of new, isn't it. I had heard 123 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: of white supremacists in the past. There was that movie 124 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: American history X, there were you know, you'll neo Nazis, 125 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: white supremacists, but they usually have tattoos of swastikas and 126 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: the you know, skin heads, and there's all this sort 127 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: of a coup tramall the the telltale signs of white supremacy, supremacy, 128 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: and they're not advocating for like a lower marginal tax rate. 129 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: They actually I think they are superior to and are 130 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: actively trying to push for either policies or just push 131 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: for violence against other groups because of their skin color. 132 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: This is a a deeply heinous ideology. It's as and 133 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: I know I'm telling you things I don't know, but 134 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna take this to a place that 135 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: we need to go in just a second. So stay 136 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: with me here. There's there's no need for us to 137 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: have it, particularly in depth discussion about white supremacy, because 138 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: it is reviled, it is hated, It is morally, intellectually 139 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: and ethically wrong, and so why are we talking about 140 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: it so much? This is a fringe among a fringe 141 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: among I mean, these are people that don't have a 142 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: core constituency, They don't have supporters. There are idiots and 143 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: lunatics of all kinds running around with hateful beliefs and ideologies, 144 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: and white supremacists fit into that category. So what is 145 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: it that has changed now? Oh? I see what was 146 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: structural racism, what was white privilege, has now become a 147 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: discussion about white supremacy, such that you will have mainstream writers, 148 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: You'll have people who have platforms, who have followings, who 149 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: influence the con versation. Remember, I don't do the comments 150 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: section beating up the trolls here. I want to I'm 151 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: focused on people whose voices, whose opinions for better or 152 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: for worse matter in the national discussion. From the left, right, 153 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: I want to and right, but I want to focus 154 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: on them. And you have individuals that or you have 155 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,599 Speaker 1: one individual, for example, who tweeted out that anti anti 156 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: looting efforts and anti looting rhetoric has to do with 157 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: white supremacy. If you were to google now, and this 158 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: is an interesting experiment, really, I did this. If you 159 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: google white supremacy, right, white supremacy in the news, you 160 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: would expect, based on what I knew growing up and 161 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: where you know where it has fallen in society for 162 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: as long as I've been alive, that you might see 163 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: some skinhead neo Nazi idiots somewhere holding a rally with 164 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: five people. Who are you know that these are like 165 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: the They're about as important in our discourse and in 166 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: our society as some guy who's holding up a sign 167 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: saying a meteor is going to hit the earth tomorrow. 168 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: You know you better watch out. I don't stay up 169 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: late at night worried about meteor man. I don't stay 170 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: up late at night worried about white supremacist man, or 171 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: any kind of supremacists really, for that matter, in the 172 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: context of American political discourse, Islamic supremacists, jihadists. That's a 173 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: discussion that I'm happy to have as well, and do 174 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: on this show. They do worry me because they do 175 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: have a sizeable constituency and sizeable public support, and whole 176 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: nation States devoted to that ideology, which is on ethno 177 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: religious lines. But still I digress conversation, perhaps for another day. 178 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: But when you think about white supremacy, take take my 179 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: challenge up here if you want, google it, and you 180 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: will see this has now entered our daily use, not 181 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: your usage in mind, but this has now entered the 182 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: new cycle. And they're all these pieces about white supremacy 183 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: and how it's being bolstered by this or supported by that. 184 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: And I'm not talking neo Nazis and skinheads and no, no, no, no, no. 185 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: What they've inserted this now as a term because Trump 186 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: is in the White House and they are using racial 187 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: division as the primary resistance effort now against the Trump 188 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: administration by claiming that that we is said that we 189 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: have a neo Nazi or a member of the clan 190 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: or somebody at least sympathetic to that in the White House. 191 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: Right now, this guy who grew up here in New 192 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: York City, probably the most diverse place in the entire country, 193 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: has a Jewish son in law and a Jewish daughter, 194 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: and people are talking about the clan and they apparently 195 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: don't know what the various targets of the clan were, 196 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: But I digress. So they have chained is the language 197 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: such that we are now having a discussion using a term, 198 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: including Ms. Jamal Hill's usage of the term publicly, whereby 199 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: what was structural racism? That doesn't get people as fired up, 200 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: That doesn't get people to turn out angry, protest, fire, people, 201 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: yell at people, punish people. Structural racism just didn't get 202 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: it done. White privilege didn't get it done, especially because 203 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: when someone talks about there, when someone talks about white privilege, 204 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, so, what is it with the 205 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: Asian Americans and the fact that they have the highest 206 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: household income per capita of any ethnic group in the country. 207 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: Do they have their privilege with that or what's going 208 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: on there? Someone want to explain that one to me. 209 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: You're never talked about Asian privilege, right, But see, I 210 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: don't talk about groups and their privileges in that way 211 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: because it's idiotic. But nonetheless, that has been a project 212 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: of all for some time. That is really at the 213 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: heart and soul of the Democratic Party. Racial ethnic division 214 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: for the purposes of power at the ballot box, identity politics. 215 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: That is the core of the Democratic Party today. And 216 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 1: they haven't been able to win the argument yet. They said, oh, 217 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: if you support Trump, you're racist. Okay, people don't care 218 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: they support a Trump anyway. They say, if you support Trump, 219 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: you're part of you're supporting white privilege. You know you're 220 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: that didn't that was enough. They said misogyny, they said islamophobia, 221 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: they said xenophobia. All the phobias they could think of 222 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: wasn't enough. Now they've ratcheted it up. Now, if you 223 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: hold certain policies, if you support the Trump administration in 224 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: certain ways otherwise seemingly sane and quote unquote respectable publications 225 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: and news sources, we'll say that you're supporting white supremacy. 226 00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: You're now supposedly along and in league with the shaved 227 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: head swastika tattooed hateful bigots that were and have always 228 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: been reviled in this country, at least in my lifetime. 229 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: So what is happening here? Ms? Jamal Hill has she 230 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: has a First Amendment right to say something so reckless 231 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: and stupid. To be sure, she has a first amount 232 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: right to say it, but we're talking about a private 233 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: employer with ESPN. ESPN she hasn't even deleted the tweets. 234 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: This is just symptomatic of the larger problem. I want 235 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: to get into it there. The double standard here really matters. 236 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna have some fun with the Hillary book. I've 237 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: got some amazing snippets from that book to read to you. 238 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: It is wow. But I want to continue this because 239 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: defining white supremacy in such a broad way is incredibly destructive. 240 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: Welcome back, team. I was just having a an exchange 241 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: with my my team here and uh with with Tyrone 242 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: in particular, who is a producer and also runs the board, 243 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: and it got me thinking, you know, there's there are 244 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: so many ways where you can see that using the 245 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,239 Speaker 1: term white supremacy as a stand in for structural racism 246 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: or systemic racism. Keep in mind that there there has 247 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: been on the left occurrent for a long time a 248 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: trend in thinking that you can you can be a 249 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: racist without actually doing or thinking anything racist, just because 250 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: you benefit from a system that is oppressive, and therefore 251 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: you are making subliminal distinctions in your head that you're 252 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: not even aware of that are racist. Right now, that's 253 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: an interest, you know, that's a whole other discuss That's 254 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: a whole separate discussion to be had us whether that's 255 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: a fair way to think about things or not. But 256 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: if that now is all part of a system of 257 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: white supremacy, where does it stop. If you're going to 258 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: talk about structural races them in American inner cities, which 259 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: is kind of an outdated term in a whole bunch 260 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: of ways, because a lot of the roughest places and 261 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: cities are actually in the outskirts of cities. But uh, 262 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: if you're going to think about the most violent, dangerous 263 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: neighborhoods in a city, and you were going to talk 264 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: about how, uh there was structural racism or systemic racism, 265 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: and then you start talking about how the police are 266 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: a part of that system, and then you start saying 267 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: that that's white supremacy. The system is white supremacy. Now 268 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: you have the police as de facto agents of white 269 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: supremacy in these communities all across the country, using these 270 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: this is it is very reminiscent, this switch in language. 271 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: And you see what I'm doing here, is that once 272 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: you start using the term white supremacy in so many 273 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: different contexts and throwing it around and using it as 274 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: a stand in for structural racism, systemic racism, subliminal racism, 275 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: all these different uh theories that a lot of it 276 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: comes from critical race theorists, and before that from a 277 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: political philosopher and writer named Herbert Marcus. But uh, when 278 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: you look at all of this, you can see that 279 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: it's intended to raise the temperature of the conversation. It's 280 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: not intended to be a problem solver. It's intended to 281 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: be a problem maker to make people have a more 282 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 1: difficult time discussing issues surrounding surrounding race and surrounding oppression, 283 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: and the language of the left, you can see this 284 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: happening is always evolving. While a lot of the ideas 285 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: stay the same, the language evolves as a means of 286 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: controlling the conversation. Immigration is a fantastic example of this. 287 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: You have undocumented immigrants which used to be undoc which 288 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: used to be undocumented. Um, well, now it's undocumented persons. 289 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 1: In fact, now they just use immigrants as a standing. 290 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: But it was illegal aliens, and then it became illegal immigrants, 291 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: and then it became un documented immigrants, and now it's 292 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: just undocumented. And in fact, sometimes in headlines AP just 293 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: did this earlier in the week, they'll refer to just 294 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: immigrants when they're talking about illegal illegal aliens? Are legal immigrants? 295 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: Just immigrants? Oh, immigrants need protection under DACA? Wait, what 296 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: immigrants are? People that have gone through the immigration system. 297 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: But by changing the language, they change the discussion. They 298 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: own the discussion in a sense, they can influence it 299 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: without ever having to do much more than that. And 300 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: so this you won't sell this with Trump an Antifa 301 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: and fascism. Republicanism just became or the Republican Party in 302 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump just became a standard for fascism. And you 303 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: had people writing about this right after the election, how 304 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: fascism was coming to America. These people are either deeply 305 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: historically ignorant or just enormous liars. It's it's really a combination. 306 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: I think of both. You're gonna say that Donald Trump 307 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: is a fascist. This is the guy who's even dinner 308 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: with the Democrats than I, who struck a deal with 309 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: Chuck Pelosi, I mean Chuck Schumer at Chuck Pelosi. Actually, 310 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go with with Chuck Pelosi. It works, 311 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: It's hyphenated, and he's back with you now, because when 312 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never 313 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: stops be A comment from that influential African American sportscast 314 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: from ESPN yesterday said Donald Trump is a white supremacist 315 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: who has largely surrounded himself with other white supremacists rise 316 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: and direct result of white supremacy period, He's unqualified and 317 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: fit to be president. Why do you think give a 318 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: reaction to that? To the president aware of that comment, 319 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure if he's aware of that. I 320 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: think that's one of the more outrageous comments that anyone 321 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: could make. Uh, and certainly something that I think is 322 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: for a firable offense about ESPN. Now people are saying 323 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: that that she's calling for the firing. She's stating an 324 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: obvious fact. It is a firable offense. Now, should ESPN 325 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: fire someone for that comment or not? This is a 326 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: This is a very interesting debate that's going on in 327 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: the country right now because, on the one hand, I 328 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: don't like the politicization of everything all the time in 329 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: our lives. I also don't like the policing of political 330 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: beliefs that occurs even outside the workplace. Now, when you're 331 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: a journalist and you're tweeting out something that that's from 332 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: your official account, I think you're speaking, in a sense 333 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: from your official capacity. You know, this wasn't a private 334 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: comment that she made that was overheard at a restaurant 335 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: or something. This was put out there for everyone to see. 336 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: But I do have hesitation about firing people for their 337 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: political commentary and even a heinous statement about a bridge. 338 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: And if you're disagree, if you're shaking your head saying no, no, no, buck, 339 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: just think about what if what if somebody had said, 340 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: what if someone at ESPN had tweeted out years ago? 341 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: Which would never happen because they would get fired. But 342 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to the double standard. The double standard 343 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: is clear. It's a big deal. Um, what would have 344 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: happened if one had tweeted out that Barack Obama was, 345 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: you know, a socialist who hates America or something like that, 346 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: right now? That person would be that person would be fired. Okay, 347 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: so I'll get to you. But I also wouldn't want 348 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: that person to be fired for that. And it's it's 349 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: especially if they're if they're not a journalist. But I 350 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: understand that these are private companies and they're allowed to 351 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: make these decisions, and these distinctions are up to management 352 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: at some at some level, Right, I get it. But 353 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: stating that calling the president publicly a white supremacist is 354 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: a fireball offense is not surprising. That's that's not a 355 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: Uh what is Sarah? What is Sarah Sanders supposed to say? 356 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: Why isn't she just able to stay at the obvious there, 357 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: which is that this woman could be fired and she's 358 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: not going to be fired because ESPN has been infiltrated 359 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: with leftists for a long time. I don't think it's new. 360 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: I just think that we know more about it now 361 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: because of it. Maybe it's gotten worse, but we know 362 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: Keith Olburan was working there a while ago, Keith Olberman's 363 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: Nuts Big show for a while and MSNBC. You know, 364 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: it says all kinds of horrible things about people. One 365 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: of the problems of the media business is that really 366 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: unethical and disgusting people tend to get ahead in it. 367 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: I have to say it's it's very distressing, but it's true. 368 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: And I sometimes want to ask even those that I 369 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: know on the right when they like somebody who's on 370 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: the conservative side of that, I'm like, does it bother 371 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: you that that person is clearly a jerk and unethical 372 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: in his own or her own personal dealings, not a 373 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: nice person, doesn't treat people with respect and has a 374 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: long history. But but it's such a good entertainer. Really interesting, Uh. 375 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: But the only fireball offense and the double standard that's 376 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: really what's this is this is the biggest right now, 377 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: the story that's getting the most discussion in the country. 378 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: And I think that the the white supremacy aspect of 379 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: I should get more attention, because this is a really 380 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: insidious ploy. This is something that is happening and people 381 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: aren't even really that aware of it. To substitute in 382 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: that term, which I think has very clear connotations for 383 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: what it's saying. You know, tell somebody that there, tell 384 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: somebody that they're complicit in in uh, in structural or 385 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: systemic racism, and they'll be like, well, I mean I 386 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: I you know, I disagree with you. I don't think 387 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: that's really fair. But you know, you could have a 388 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: discussion if someone sat down with you, if what are 389 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: your friends sat down and some of your like Buck, 390 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: Actually no, I could not have that discussion with someone 391 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: who said that. But let's just assume for that you 392 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: might sit down with somebody who says, you know, well, 393 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: I need to explain I need to explain your role 394 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: in subliminal or structural racism to you. I need to 395 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: explain your role even and this one starts to get 396 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more aggressive, but you know, Buck, let's 397 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: have a talk about white privilege. Okay, I'll have a discussion. 398 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: Somebody sits down with you and says, I always use 399 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: the name Bob for all you Bob's out there. I 400 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: don't know why I like your name so much. I 401 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: just always used the name Bob for my stand in 402 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: as a guy. Um, Bob, I think it's because it's 403 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: fun to say, let's have a conversation about your white supremacy. 404 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: That's a problem right the And when I put it 405 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: in those terms, I think it is quite clear that 406 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: there are real distinctions here, that there are real differences, 407 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: and that it matters. This is this is similar to 408 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: the difference between someone saying that you know, you, you you know, 409 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: maybe you're not always as as sensitive to the needs 410 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: of minority communities as you should be, and somebody's saying, 411 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: you know, you're just a racist. Those are very different things. 412 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: Those are not the same. And the escalation in the 413 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: war of words right now between right and left, between 414 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: Democrats and we're Chian Republicans and Democrats, that is something 415 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: we should pay attention to, because I assure you it matters. 416 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: They're doing this with a purpose. Um, They're trying to 417 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: scare people. They're trying to scare people away from supporting 418 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: the administration and away from believing in the Trump agenda, which, 419 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: as I was noting right before the break, this guy 420 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: is making he is reaching. He has already reached out 421 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: more two Democrats in more substantial ways as president based 422 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: on what's just happened the past few weeks than anything 423 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 1: I can remember during the entirety of Barack Obama's administration 424 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: with regard to Republicans. So for if the facts, if 425 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: reality matters, one might want to take that into account 426 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: instead of talking about fascism and and white supremacy. Um. 427 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: But on the onto the So that's for me, that's 428 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: the most important part of what's going on here. One 429 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: reporter at ESPN, which is having all kinds of problems 430 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: and is going to continue to have problems because they're 431 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: just deciding that they're going to carve out a constituency 432 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: of left wing millennials. You know, one thing that these 433 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: different news outlets and news sources never really understand is that, yeah, 434 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: younger people, they tend to they tend to be more liberal. Sure, 435 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: and I think that they make the assumption and it's 436 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: this this is a repeating cycle. If you were to 437 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: look back at what you know, AD execs are thinking 438 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: and what media executives are thinking, well, well, you know, 439 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: we've got there's such an advantage among young people that 440 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: they're Democrats. You know what happens. They get married, they 441 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: have families, they pay taxes. Long enough, and conservatism starts 442 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: to make a little more sense to some of those folks. 443 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: That's what happens. Conservatives are forged via experience, life experience. 444 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: In many cases, some people are like me. You know, 445 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: for New York, I'm a weirdo because I was like 446 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: sixteen and knew that I was a conservative and I 447 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: have known that ever since. But for a lot of people, 448 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: I know, I have friends who are getting more conservative 449 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: every year. I just wrote a check today for the 450 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: quarter to the I R. S which we call the 451 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: Internal Revenue Service, which is one of the most annoying 452 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: euphemisms in existence right now. It should just be the 453 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: tax It should just through the tax collector agency because 454 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: they collect taxes. Internal Revenue Service. We need revenue. No, 455 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: they need taxes. They want to take your money. Why 456 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: don't we allow this, you know? Way? I mean, look, 457 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: I can understand changing from the War Department to the 458 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: Defense Department another thing that happened in this country. But 459 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: we should have the I R S B the tax 460 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: collector agency, so we're all really clear on what's going on. 461 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: Once again, the words, the language, the description. It matters 462 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: because now when you talk about the IRS is doing 463 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: they're raising revenue. It's for all of us. No, they're 464 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: taking your stuff and if you don't give it to them, 465 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: they throw you in prison and ruin your life. They 466 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: are tax collectors, They're not revenue agents. Okay, this is nonsense. 467 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: This is why it matters so much when we talk 468 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: about immigration, what what terms we use, whether it's a 469 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: legal alien or undocumented immigrant. And you're seeing now why 470 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: in the current racial discussion, which is at the center 471 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: of the resistance to the Trump administration, and it keeps 472 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: cycling through, it'll be you'll see more ANTIFA action probably, 473 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: you know, at that Shapiro speech in Berkeley coming up, 474 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: there might be Antifus stuff there, but it'll be standing 475 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: up against Trump is standing up against fascism again. But 476 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: you had major newspapers or major magazines at least that 477 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: we're putting photos of Donald Trump or suggesting that Donald 478 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: Trump is a is a klansman, his administration as a 479 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: member of the klin. So this is this is pretty 480 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: mainstream thought among leftist media types. And that's I find 481 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: that's the important story. That's coming out of all this 482 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,959 Speaker 1: ESPN stuff as to the double standard. Okay, so no 483 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: one doubts that if you had said something nasty like 484 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: this about Obama, you'd be fired at ESPN. Right, we 485 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: all know that, and no one doubts. I think that 486 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: the way that the corporate culture is going in this 487 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: country when you had was it brendan Ike who worked 488 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: for Mozilla? Was that was another guy's name, the Mozilla's 489 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: CEO who was fired, I think was brendon Ike who 490 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: had supported he had given money to support the movement 491 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: to make marriage traditional marriage and not same sex marriage 492 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: in California. Right. You'll note that also, I should know 493 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: that went from gay marriage to marriage equality. Another instance 494 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: where the language changed and the culture was changing too. Right. 495 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: It wasn't about gay marriage anymore, was about marriage equality. 496 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: The terms changed, But brendan Ike gave money at the 497 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: same time that Barack Obama was saying he was a 498 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: traditional marriage Candida. This was the CEO of Mozilla, a 499 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: major Silicon Valley internet company, and they fired him years 500 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: later for it. You will never see anything like that 501 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: happening in the political reverse. Never. It will never happen. 502 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: What does that tell us. It tells us that we 503 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: need to understand that political power is only one type 504 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: of power in this country. There is also the day 505 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: to day and the culture. And when you look at 506 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: what's happening now in American culture, particularly in the fields 507 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: that have the most influence on public opinion, where people 508 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: have the most money and the most concentrations of power 509 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: in private sector hands, law, finance, media, major corporations, Silicon 510 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: Valley giants, and you look at them, whether it's g E, Facebook, NBC, 511 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: you name it, they're all progressive. I mean, the culture 512 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: has all gone That's not to say that everyone who 513 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,959 Speaker 1: works there is, but the culture has all gone progressive. 514 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: You even see now in the federal government, people are saying, 515 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: you know, what's what's the Pentagon's core mission? Well, it's 516 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: diver city. What I thought I mean, correct me if 517 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I thought the Pentagon's core mission was to 518 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: defend the United States and and and uphold and defend 519 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: the Constitution. But you know, people will say, well, you 520 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,479 Speaker 1: know what a central mission is diversity. A central mission 521 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: of you know, the the FBI Law Enforcement Agency is diversity. 522 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: What this is? This is now the mantra, This is 523 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: the progressive orthodoxy and the way that they get us there. 524 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,959 Speaker 1: You're seeing it happen right now in real time. You 525 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: can see this underneath, underneath the headlines. Right, this is 526 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: the the propaganda effect that they're going for. You're seeing 527 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: this with white supremacy as a term that's now inserted 528 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: into everyday discourse, as a term that is being used 529 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: for things that are miles and miles away from some angry, 530 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: evil bigot who wants to harm people because of their 531 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 1: skin color, and it is covered in swastikas as tattoos, right, 532 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: miles and miles away from that, and yet now the 533 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: term is being used for people who you know, I mean, 534 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: I want to I'll try to pull some more examples. 535 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: I thought about how looting anti looting efforts are upholding 536 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: white supremacy. I couldn't believe that. Um, I think I 537 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: was pretty sure it's just people that are trying to 538 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: stop their homes from being ransacked. And you see what's 539 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: happened in some of the Caribbean nations you have that 540 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: were hit really badly by the hurricane. You have marauding 541 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: bands of thugs who have machetes or firearms or whatever, 542 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,959 Speaker 1: and they're terrifying people and and stealing from them and 543 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: ransacking their homes. And you know it's but somehow you'll 544 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: see writers as well. You know, if you're trying to 545 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: if you're deploying the national guard there in the case 546 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: of UM, I forget which country it was, but one 547 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: of them has is a Dutch possession. They've deployed the 548 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: military there. I'll remember after the brick oh St. Martin, UM, 549 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: They've deployed like Dutch military there. And I mean that's 550 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: it's not about white supremacy. It's about protecting private property 551 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: and human life for for everybody, everyone's property, everyone's lives. UM. 552 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: But this we we are entering some very precarious places 553 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: here in the national discussion. And I also think that 554 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: this is one of the reasons why trying and I'm 555 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: having such an I'm so I'm so intrigued by our 556 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: topics today that I'm running very, very long here. TI. 557 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: Thank you for the reminder. UM. The Trump administration, I'm 558 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: judging them a lot on policy, but merely as by 559 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: being Trump, he is exposing them. By just being Trump, 560 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: he is exposing the media and enforcing conversations that many 561 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: of us have been waiting to have for I don't 562 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: know a decade or two, and I can't lose sight 563 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: of that, whether tax reform happens or not. We've seen 564 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: that the media is a big problem in this country. 565 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: I don't want a radio Showbuck, You're part of the 566 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: media now.

I think at a minimum, she 589 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: should have to, you know, remove her tweets and apologize. 590 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: At the minimum, you know, you could you could go 591 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: as far as say she should be fired. I mean 592 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: you could, you could get there. But here, I mean, 593 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: the only way that we're going to fix this. You 594 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: mentioned early in your show that we've got a friends right, 595 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: we've got a friends of a friends of this mentality 596 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: on the left end and right, um you had Hollywood 597 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: to it. There might be, you know, they kind of 598 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: integrate themselves into the fringe. But the only way we're 599 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: gonna stop this, the ESPNS, MSNBC's is we're gonna have 600 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: to do it with our pocketbooks. And the thing about 601 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: it is is it's not gonna happen now. Because here's 602 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: why you go home. I go home every night. We 603 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: have a roof over our head, We've got food in 604 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: our refrigerator, We've got all the perks of life for 605 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: the most part. You know, let's set the middle class 606 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: or whatever. And until that idea starts to get threat 607 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,439 Speaker 1: to the extent that that goes away, I'm not sure 608 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna make a change. Yeah. Well, I really appreciate 609 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: your point about in particular about how people need to 610 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: you know, vote with their dollars on a lot of 611 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: this stuff, and you know, pay attention to who you're supporting. 612 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: We always you know, in conservative media, I gotta say, Sam, 613 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: we're particularly sensitive to it because we know that people 614 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: that agree with us and agree with our content on 615 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: the right are out there. We know that it's more 616 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: than half the country. But there are structural forces literally 617 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: structural uh you know, network forces and others that prevent 618 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: this from being a free and fair playing field that 619 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: that prevented from actually being a marketplace of ideas where 620 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: the best content wins. UM. So you know, people need 621 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: to support the shows that they that they believe in. 622 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: They need to support the hosts, the writers, the you 623 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: name it, um. And that's a big part of this. 624 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: And in ESPN, I think is gonna be in for 625 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 1: a wake up call here pretty soon. But Sam Shield 626 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: time man. Great to have you calling it from North Carolina. 627 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton is back. 628 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,879 Speaker 1: Buck is back with you now team eight four four 629 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: eight four five. If you want to weigh in, I 630 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: want to get to Hillary's book tour, which is just incredible. 631 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: How to get to that in a few minutes. Both 632 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: there's some there's some serious takeaways and some less serious takeaways, 633 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: and ultimately we will find out what happened. We'll find 634 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: out all right. Casey in Washington listening on the I 635 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: Heart app? What's up? Casey? Hey? How you down? Buck? 636 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on your show. Thank you, sir, 637 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 1: I love your show. Thank you. First, I want to 638 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: acknowledge there was a tragedy over here near me today. 639 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: I live in Spokane, Washington. There's a school shooting, and 640 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: I just wanted to say my thoughts are with the 641 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: kids in the back of and everybody involved over there, 642 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: and thoughts and prayers. Absolutely. I saw that on the 643 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: on the on the wire. Yeah, I wanted to say 644 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: that I think she should be fired, and it's not 645 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: because of what she said. I believe in the freedom 646 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,919 Speaker 1: of speech. I think it's because people like her are 647 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,720 Speaker 1: the true racist, and not even necessarily racist against someone's 648 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: skin color, but they're racist against what we say because 649 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: we disagree with them. Well, when you mean, I mean racist, 650 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: racism is pretty specific about it being about race. Are 651 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,959 Speaker 1: you saying that she's politically bigoted? Yeah? I guess that'd 652 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,280 Speaker 1: be a better way to put it. Fair enough, Um, 653 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: but you know, I think that there are lines, right, 654 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 1: I mean, we can do any number of uh, any 655 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: number of thought experiments where we look and see, well, 656 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: what would have happened if if somebody had with well, 657 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: let's say, with the future president. Even if someone used 658 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: who is in public life and as a journalist, use 659 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: a a a an ethnic slur to describe a future 660 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: president the United States, as anybody think that person would 661 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: keep their job? Of course? Not right? So there are 662 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: limits to this, to this free speech. If someone used 663 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: a a misogynistic term to describe a future female president 664 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 1: United States, I don't think you'd keep your job, right, 665 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: So clearly there are limits. Does calling President Trump a 666 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: white supremacist cross one of those obvious red lines? One 667 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: of those obvious limitations of what you can get away 668 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,879 Speaker 1: with in public life. I think the answer is yes. 669 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 1: I know that if it was a Democrat and this 670 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: was a different you know, if it was a different administration, 671 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,240 Speaker 1: the person would be fired because you see what ESPN 672 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: has done in the past to anybody who was caught 673 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 1: up in a political mailstrom. Uh. If you know that, 674 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: they get tossed, right. ESPN is very politically sensitive. So no, Look, 675 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I think you'd probably get fired for this. Uh, 676 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: you know, in a fair world, if we're gonna fire 677 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: people for what they say. What she said, and I 678 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,720 Speaker 1: agree with Sarah Huckabee Sanders what she or tweeted, not said, 679 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: was a fireball offense. I don't think there's that much 680 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 1: question about that. Then it's just do I want to 681 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 1: live in a country where people are getting fired for 682 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: what they say about politicians in general? In principle? No, 683 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: does that make sense? I mean, I know I'm kind 684 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 1: of drawing. Uh, I'm kind of doing it on the 685 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: one hand. On the other, but that's how I feel 686 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: about it. I I agree with that. Um, I guess 687 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: my problem is is that we let them get away 688 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: with that too much. By the way, how far is 689 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: Everett Washington from Beau. Let me talking about that later 690 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 1: in the show. Um, that's probably about three four hours. 691 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: He just goes. You could have said, oh, it's the 692 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 1: next town over. I don't know Washington state geography as 693 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 1: well as I need you. But I love my folks 694 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: up in Spokane listening, whether they're on on the terrestrial 695 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: radio or on the I heart out. Thank you very much, Casey, 696 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Uh. Brent in New Mexico, what's going on, 697 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: Brent Hey about Shield Time? Shield tie Hey? My prayers 698 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: for the former caller, the kids at that school, My 699 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: prayers are with them as well. But no, I don't 700 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: think she should be fired unless ESPN wants to fire. 701 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 1: You know, Like you said, I think that's a slippery 702 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: slope and I'm not interested in going down. And if 703 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: that's what they believe, that's what they believe. You know, 704 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: you know when your other callers said, you know you 705 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 1: you handle it with your pocket. But I bet I 706 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: bet Fox Sports is doing a whole lot better since 707 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 1: this whole thing has been going down, you know, if 708 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: they want to handle their business that way, if you 709 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: I mean, where is it in? I mean, we we've 710 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: got these companies are free to spend their money where 711 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: they want to, to vote on the politicians they want to. 712 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: Now we're going to tell them that they have to 713 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 1: fire people for the political beliefs. I mean, it just 714 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: goes on and on and on down the rabbit hole 715 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: that I just don't think we even need to go down. Yes, 716 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: there's the there's the legal realities of the First Amendment 717 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: and free speech and workplace issues, and then there's the UH, 718 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: the the conceptual issues that attached to the free speech 719 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: in the first moment. Right, the legal reality is that 720 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: all the First Amendment does is prevent the government from 721 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: infringing on your free speech rights. It does not mean 722 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 1: that nobody can fire you because freedom of speech. So 723 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: there's that. But then there's also the UH concept of 724 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: a society in which we are allowed to speak freely 725 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: even in the workplace. And and that's a a standard, 726 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: or that's a desire that I would like to receive 727 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: a lot of support right that we can speak freely 728 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: about ideas. But I also understand that you know how 729 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: free is that? Right? I mean that that can't be 730 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 1: a blank check, because if it is a blank check, 731 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 1: you go on the air and trash the ceo or 732 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: go in the air. That's a you know, I'm a 733 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: radio person, rights always thinking these terms. But you know, 734 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: go in public and trash the CEO of your company, 735 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a job. I don't think so, right, So, 736 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,760 Speaker 1: so there are clearly limitations. It's in this instance because 737 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 1: her commentary, while I think, uh, disgraceful, reckless and not 738 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 1: based in any rational, reasonable fact um, it was political 739 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: in nature. And that's where I that's where I get 740 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 1: a little uncomfortable with the somebody is gonna get fired 741 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 1: for it, right, but you're obviously gonna have to get 742 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: fired for saying the wrong thing. I mean, this is 743 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 1: private private employment is private employment. Um. I think what's 744 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: interesting is that the left has created so many restrictions 745 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: on what you can be fired for now so and 746 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,800 Speaker 1: yet at the same time they're the ones who always 747 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 1: do the firing for a political belief. So it's an 748 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: interesting it's quite a conundrum, my friend. I think it's 749 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 1: fair to say, oh, yes, sir, I mean, when when 750 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: Kurt Killing got fired from ESPN for tweeting out I 751 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 1: think was a belief about the transgender bathrooms or something. 752 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,560 Speaker 1: They fired him in a heartbeat. Yeah, so I want 753 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: to and that's it. Thank you and Brent Shields time 754 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 1: and great Hall from New Mexico. Thank you. And that's 755 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: an important point. I didn't mean to. I obviously stayed 756 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:47,720 Speaker 1: in the last hour. The double standard is an enormous 757 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,479 Speaker 1: part of the concern here because it's so apparent. And 758 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: if you if you offend the left, if you offend 759 00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: the progressive orthodoxy, if you offend protected groups, and the 760 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: left gets to determine who are in those protected groups. 761 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: Christians not in a protected group. Uh, you know, it 762 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: depends on what the left says. They get to determine 763 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 1: who's protected and who's not. Um that all said, Uh, 764 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: if you do that, you can lose your job. And 765 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: if you offend one of these leftist sensibilities, you are 766 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,919 Speaker 1: in jeopardy of losing your job. It just doesn't work 767 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: the same way on the other side. It just doesn't. 768 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: You know, you you can get away with trashing conservatives 769 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 1: in ways that you would never imagine trashing a democrat 770 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,879 Speaker 1: or a liberal in our society, whether you're talking about 771 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 1: media figures or in any job. If you you know, 772 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 1: if you said the wrong things about Obama in your 773 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 1: and I think this would have been true for Hillary 774 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:56,399 Speaker 1: as well. In your standard workplace, HR might come, might 775 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 1: come looking for you, you say, and you can say 776 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: anything you want about Trump pretty much, and unless the 777 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 1: CEO happens to be a Trump voter, and even then 778 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 1: he may be like look on or she or she 779 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 1: um you know, may not want a lawsuit on his 780 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: or her hands. Uh, But you can get away saying 781 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: pretty much anything about Trump. Why why is that? I 782 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 1: think on there's and this is now taking a big 783 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 1: step back, and I want to get to the Hillary stuff. 784 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,760 Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of time talking about the the 785 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: white supremacy charge that is becoming so popular on the left, 786 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: and how dishonestly they use the term. Okay, we went 787 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: over that, we know the double standard at ESPN and 788 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: and across the media and across the workplace culture in America. 789 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 1: So those are all very important things I believe to 790 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 1: keep in mind. Um. But now here here we are 791 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 1: faced with this face, with this reality. I want to 792 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,439 Speaker 1: let me get let's go to what's going on with 793 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,839 Speaker 1: I woant have changed change it up here and get 794 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 1: to what's going on with Hillary? Because the book is 795 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:11,879 Speaker 1: this is amazing. I I did not think. I did 796 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 1: not think that we would see Hillary Clinton do this, 797 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:21,760 Speaker 1: but it actually makes sense. Here's why. She's not really 798 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: a politician in the sense that she's somebody who's been, 799 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 1: you know, obsessed with policy. I know she poses as one, 800 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 1: but that's not there's no reason to really believe that 801 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: she's not somebody who does this for to serve the public. 802 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 1: She's not somebody who is is a selfless defender of 803 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: of any particular rights. When she changes all of her position, she's, 804 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 1: you know, a politician who's up for sale. All of 805 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 1: that well established I should note and I know I'm 806 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 1: pardon me for the jump here, but I really want 807 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: to see. I really want to see what the Clinton 808 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 1: Foundation has done in terms of donations over the last 809 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: twelve months. I've got we've got a tie and Amy 810 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 1: remind me we've got to track down those numbers because 811 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: it's gonna be public. I want to see what the 812 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:18,239 Speaker 1: drop off in donations is over the last twelve months 813 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 1: to the Clinton Founding. I know they shut down the 814 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 1: Clinton Global Initiative, which is just a straight up slush 815 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 1: fund to take money from anybody and everybody all over 816 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: the world for access to the Clintons and for favor 817 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: from the Clintons. Okay, I really do want to see that, 818 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 1: because if the funding drop off is thirty and I'd 819 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 1: be willing, I'd willing to wager that that's what it is. 820 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,319 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's probably what you're looking at, 821 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 1: because some foundations have charity money that they're not foundation. 822 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,240 Speaker 1: Some companies have foundation money and they're gonna keep donating 823 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 1: for a while. It also would look really bad to 824 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: the kind of people who can write a hundred thousand 825 00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: dollar check or the kind of organizations that can write 826 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollar check to Clinton Foundation. It would 827 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,439 Speaker 1: look really bad if oh, she lost the election. Yeah, 828 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,839 Speaker 1: now we don't care about you know, clean drinking water 829 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 1: in Sub Saharan Africa so much anymore. Sorry, now we 830 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 1: don't care about women's empowerment or climate change or whatever. Sorry, 831 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: it would look bad. I think there's probably enough awareness 832 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 1: among savvy companies that have a public image that you 833 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 1: know that the dictatorships, the Saudias and the whoever, you know, they'll, yeah, 834 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: he'll they don't care, They'll they'll cut off the money 835 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,520 Speaker 1: right now. The Russians, whomever. Yeah, that's right. Hillary money 836 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,400 Speaker 1: from the Russians. We always forget about that, don't we. 837 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 1: Her husband got paid fives to give a speech with 838 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 1: to give a speech that was and was it eight 839 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 1: hundred might have ben eight Actually I think it was 840 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,319 Speaker 1: eight grand think was the most expensive speech ever. Uman 841 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 1: you know, it was worth every penny uh into a 842 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 1: Russian bank with ties to the Kremlin. But you know 843 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,400 Speaker 1: that's just a straight up check to Bill Clinton because 844 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: his speech was because Bill Clinton's speech is worth so 845 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 1: much to a bank with ties to the Kremlin. Really, really, 846 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: but I want to see what the Clinton Foundations check 847 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,799 Speaker 1: book looks like over the last twelve months. That will 848 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 1: be a fascinating discussion, and it will expose a lot 849 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 1: of the hacks out there, because I'm then you're gonna 850 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: see if they're and maybe I'm wrong, Maybe they've papered 851 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 1: it over, they've made it. You know that there there 852 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 1: are enough people that just want to give money. Maybe 853 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 1: they buy into the Clinton myth about how they really 854 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 1: want to help the world. But if there's a thirty 855 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,359 Speaker 1: or forty drop off, even really a twenty percent, because 856 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 1: its charitable donation, it shouldn't matter that Hillary didn't win. 857 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,320 Speaker 1: Then we all know, and then you'll watch the little 858 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 1: the little Clinton quizzlings go up on MSNBC and CNN 859 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,439 Speaker 1: and saying, what Hillary, it's just a great human a ten. 860 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 1: The real shame is that they're giving her less money 861 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 1: to do good things around the world, and it would 862 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 1: just just prostrate themselves in front of the Clinton media 863 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:54,919 Speaker 1: power machine. Uh anyway, Well I was talking about Hillary. 864 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I've I've 865 00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,800 Speaker 1: regained the thread here. I'm gonna bring it back to center, 866 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:05,440 Speaker 1: bring back to neutral rechargement batteries. It's a wedding crashers reference. Um. 867 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 1: Hillary has shown us that she's really actually a celebrity 868 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 1: playing a politician, that she's really a politician's wife who 869 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:21,400 Speaker 1: then traded upon that celebrity to pose as a policy wonk, 870 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 1: a a politico, a person that is, you know, going 871 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,200 Speaker 1: to be doing great things for this country, a person 872 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 1: of history, you know, a person who will change history, 873 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,399 Speaker 1: just posing this one. And now that that's not her 874 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,040 Speaker 1: reality anymore, I don't think she can't handle it. It's like, 875 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,319 Speaker 1: what do you mean you don't love me? I mean 876 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:43,439 Speaker 1: it's really bad. And because she's out there just making 877 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,600 Speaker 1: a mockery of herself, which is hard to do for 878 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 1: Bengalzi Hillary. But that's what's going on. Are we got lines? 879 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 1: Let here in the Freedom Hunt Buck Sex Then back 880 00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,840 Speaker 1: with you all, Lori in New Jersey listening on the 881 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: Blaze Radio Network. Hey, Laurie Buck, how are you doing? 882 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 1: I'm good original squad, Laurie. I remember Lorie calling in 883 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,440 Speaker 1: from the days when it was just a show for me, Lorie, 884 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,400 Speaker 1: immediate family, members of mine, and like fifteen other people. 885 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,920 Speaker 1: So I mean literally day one, Buck. So glad by 886 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: the way to hear you back on the Blaze. It's fantastic, 887 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,239 Speaker 1: Thank you very much, and very pleased to be back 888 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,520 Speaker 1: on the back on the Blaze Live too, which is fantastic. 889 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,399 Speaker 1: So what's on your mind, Laurie so about this ESPN commentator? 890 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 1: I really am. I'm a little flummixed as to why 891 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,839 Speaker 1: this is so difficult to understand. No one, certainly not me, 892 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 1: would be suggesting that she ought to be fired for 893 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,560 Speaker 1: any opinion that she holds. That's not the issue. The 894 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,319 Speaker 1: issue is that the idiots at ESPN. I think they 895 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,359 Speaker 1: seem to think they have to bless the expression of 896 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 1: her opinion as a professional associated with the ESPN. So 897 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,479 Speaker 1: you're saying that they because they said like they talked 898 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 1: to her or something, right, I mean that was the 899 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,800 Speaker 1: only public statement from them that I saw. How about 900 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: Kurt Schilling? They didn't just talk to him, didn't they. Yeah, Well, 901 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 1: this is the double standard I was talking about, which 902 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 1: couldn't be more obvious. You know, you framed the issue, 903 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 1: and other others have framed the issue. Uh, should she 904 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,799 Speaker 1: be fired for her opinion? No? I don't care what 905 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 1: her opinion is about that about Trump, about politics. She's 906 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 1: a sports commentator, you know. But ESPN needs to belly 907 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: up to the bar and do the hard thing and 908 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,799 Speaker 1: say to the employees you're talking about sports. You're here 909 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 1: to talk about sports, period. The end, we have millions, 910 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,000 Speaker 1: tens of millions of listeners who don't want to hear 911 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 1: your political commentary. But and if they listen to your 912 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,400 Speaker 1: political commentary, they're gonna turn the dial somewhere else. But 913 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, ESPN has been encouraging, encouraging their UH commentators 914 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 1: to do more in the political commentary space. So they're there, 915 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,439 Speaker 1: in a sense getting what they want at the executive level, 916 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: which is kind of amazing to me. Laurie except people 917 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,239 Speaker 1: to keep in mind that there are true believers out 918 00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 1: there on the progressive left in media who they they 919 00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 1: will watch Rating Suffer. It's not always business first. They'll 920 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 1: watch Rating Suffer to push an agenda, especially fascinating book. 921 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,880 Speaker 1: In light of Hillary's comment about we need more comment 922 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 1: no more podcasts for our viewpoint because we can't get 923 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 1: any media turns. That was astonishing, wasn't it as if 924 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,240 Speaker 1: the Democrats don't have enough outlets? And I should also 925 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: note that you know, on the podcast rankings that are 926 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: out there, they play all of these games whereby you know, 927 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:34,240 Speaker 1: this show, for example, has a lot of podcast downloads 928 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,359 Speaker 1: month in and month out a lot, but because it's 929 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 1: conservative talk and because it's also radio, they have all 930 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 1: these little uh It's kind of like the New York 931 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,959 Speaker 1: Times bestseller book list. All of a sudden you won't 932 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 1: see certain books or you know, it doesn't appear there, 933 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 1: and they'll say, oh, it's the algorithm. No, they're actually 934 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,719 Speaker 1: cooking the books. And on podcast I can tell you 935 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 1: it's the same thing. Some people have been able to 936 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,759 Speaker 1: get around it. But if you do a show every 937 00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,359 Speaker 1: day and they put it on a podcast, they will 938 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,440 Speaker 1: knock it down? Which who's doing? Let me ask you this, Laurie, 939 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 1: who doing? Who do you think is doing a show 940 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 1: every day that could be a podcast? Radio hosts? Where 941 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 1: do conservatives have the biggest advantage in media radio? It's not. 942 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 1: It's not an accident, you know, but I mean this 943 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 1: is now, it's not. And of course conservatives have been 944 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 1: actively excluded from what should be just non political outlets 945 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,919 Speaker 1: like ESPN, and we do have to vote with our feet. 946 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,720 Speaker 1: I was never a big ESPN consumer, although I admit 947 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 1: to watching last week because they had the US Open on, 948 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: but you know, ordinarily not interested, but I certainly not 949 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,359 Speaker 1: going there now. Yeah, well, Laura, hopefully you'll you'll buy 950 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 1: some Black Rifle coffee and some bowl and brand sheets 951 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:44,320 Speaker 1: they did.

You 979 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:09,720 Speaker 1: can he's back with you now, because when it comes 980 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 1: to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. The 981 00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 1: intention of the book, do you think? I think the 982 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,319 Speaker 1: intention of the book was two things. One it was 983 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 1: to really, I think, just event and and get it 984 00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 1: out there because there are so many people like Hillary 985 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 1: Clinton who are still writing about this, who are still 986 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,160 Speaker 1: thinking about this, who are still in therapy. Frankly, the 987 00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 1: sources that I know who are still really upset about 988 00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 1: the election. Here's a journalist that was on uh, Joe 989 00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:42,920 Speaker 1: and Mike, the Joe and Mika Hours on MSNBC. You 990 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,560 Speaker 1: have a journalist they're saying that, Yeah, this is like 991 00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:49,399 Speaker 1: a group therapy book tour for all the journalists out 992 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,359 Speaker 1: there who are still in therapy, who need who need 993 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:56,160 Speaker 1: help because they're so upset that Hillary lost. So it's 994 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 1: not like I exaggerate when I say that it seems 995 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 1: like a group therapy to or or it's definitely therapy 996 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,759 Speaker 1: for Hillary. I think it's for a lot of journalists too. 997 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:11,480 Speaker 1: This is because this is a completely unnecessary recitation of 998 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 1: what we all already know from Hillary Whether and it's 999 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,120 Speaker 1: not She's not going to be able to rewrite the 1000 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 1: history here we're all too familiar with exactly what happened. 1001 00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,320 Speaker 1: I have some incredible stuff from this, from this book, 1002 00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,000 Speaker 1: and from this book toward to share with you here 1003 00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,640 Speaker 1: and just a moment, but let's start with there's so 1004 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 1: much of the blame game coming out of the Clinton 1005 00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,000 Speaker 1: camp right now, from from Hillary herself, that it is 1006 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 1: hard to keep up. You have here here just the things. 1007 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 1: This is courtesy actually a list of our friend, uh, 1008 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 1: from our friend Sarah Westwood. She put this out on Twitter, 1009 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 1: only a couple chapters in quote, and here are all 1010 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,760 Speaker 1: all the things Clinton has blamed for her election law 1011 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: so far. Interference from the Kremlin. That's one unprecedented intervention 1012 00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:00,680 Speaker 1: in our election by the director of the FB. I too. 1013 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 1: Three a political press that told voters that my emails 1014 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,320 Speaker 1: were the most important story for deep currents of anger 1015 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 1: and resentment flowing through our culture. Five. The media gave 1016 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 1: Trump free wall the wall coverage. Six. Fox News was 1017 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 1: turning politics into an evidence free zone of seething resentments. 1018 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 1: I love this. Seven. Maybe it's because I'm a woman 1019 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: and we're not used to women running for president. Okay, 1020 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 1: misogynies what she's saying there. Eight The problem started with history, 1021 00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 1: it was exceedingly difficult for either party to hold onto 1022 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:34,440 Speaker 1: the White House for more than eight years. Literally, everything 1023 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:38,640 Speaker 1: is wrong here other than Hillary. Yeah, and I'm sure 1024 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 1: you could add to this. Let's she say, ah, yes, correct, 1025 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,920 Speaker 1: she thinks that all of this is why she didn't win, 1026 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,240 Speaker 1: that she didn't. I can't even remember how long it 1027 00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:52,760 Speaker 1: was before she gave an interview, a real interview to 1028 00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 1: the press, and that it was so clear to anybody 1029 00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,600 Speaker 1: that she didn't know why she was running. She was 1030 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 1: running because she was Hillary Clinton. She was running because 1031 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,400 Speaker 1: she's a politician's wife who became a celebrity who was 1032 00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:07,840 Speaker 1: posing as a politician. That's just what happened. That's just 1033 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 1: the way that it was translated being a first lady 1034 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,040 Speaker 1: into being a senator for a state she had no 1035 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: business winning a Senate seat in. And but you know, 1036 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,080 Speaker 1: just the with the media and the northeastern coastal elites 1037 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 1: and the people I grew up around. I understand this, 1038 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 1: I know it. And then made her secretary of State 1039 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,440 Speaker 1: based on what because she's a Clinton, because it was 1040 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 1: part of the dynastic rule with the Democratic Party, that 1041 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 1: was her secretary of State was just basically a holding 1042 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,920 Speaker 1: pattern until she could run and take over from Barack Obama. 1043 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:43,760 Speaker 1: It's not foreign policy expertise, doesn't know anything. I think 1044 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,600 Speaker 1: it's so so funny that all these people within the 1045 00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,160 Speaker 1: State Department. I can't work for Hillary. I mean I 1046 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:52,040 Speaker 1: can't work for Trump. Now, this is sol jefferent than Hillary. 1047 00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 1: If you are an expert on any subject, you should 1048 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 1: have also felt like Hillary Clinton was an expert on 1049 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:01,920 Speaker 1: no subject other than Hillary and self promotion and making 1050 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:07,480 Speaker 1: making deals with the devil. But I digress, Okay. Uh. 1051 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,000 Speaker 1: She said that the Comy letter was one reason she 1052 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,200 Speaker 1: didn't win. I would have won but for Jim Comey's 1053 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:21,520 Speaker 1: letter on October two. People say, well, you know, but 1054 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,479 Speaker 1: it was you know, why wouldn't have been so close? 1055 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,640 Speaker 1: We have close elections. I mean that is kind of 1056 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 1: the reality of our politics right now. Um, but that 1057 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 1: stopped my momentum, and it really did cause enough people 1058 01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:39,560 Speaker 1: to move away from me. I think people were moving 1059 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,080 Speaker 1: away from her anyway. I want to hug, but I 1060 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 1: really think that people had had enough of Hillary long 1061 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:49,320 Speaker 1: before this all happened. Remember, this is the second election 1062 01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,800 Speaker 1: she lost. Why don't lose to Barack Obama in the primary. 1063 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: President or what happened there was that also the media 1064 01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,200 Speaker 1: for her to just she is delusional, I mean for 1065 01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 1: her to say that that the left wing needs more 1066 01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 1: media outlets. I mean there was like very I think 1067 01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 1: is what it's called. This new site that's being started 1068 01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:12,320 Speaker 1: by this Hillary super super fan and superpromoter, because there 1069 01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 1: aren't there aren't enough website for Hillary Clinton fans to 1070 01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 1: go to. Uh. People are living in an alterate reality. 1071 01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:24,400 Speaker 1: A lot of Democrats and our living in an alter reality. Uh. Oh. 1072 01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:28,479 Speaker 1: She also blamed Russia, of course, Russia, Russia, Russia. It's 1073 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 1: not just about the past. For example, the Russians are 1074 01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:38,040 Speaker 1: still messing with our democracy and they will be as 1075 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,360 Speaker 1: aggressive as they can get away with. Again, not a 1076 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,000 Speaker 1: republican or democratic issue. They may have gone after me 1077 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 1: this last time, but if they think they can destabilize us, 1078 01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:52,520 Speaker 1: which is Boodin's principal goal. He wants to undermine democracy, 1079 01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:57,320 Speaker 1: our democracy, our alliance with the Western democracies. If he 1080 01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,080 Speaker 1: can succeed in that, we are all going to me 1081 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,640 Speaker 1: worse off. Let's unpack that for a moment, shall and 1082 01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 1: I'll get to the funny and amazing stuff about Hillary, 1083 01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,440 Speaker 1: because there's some great stuff right now. I'm giving you 1084 01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,640 Speaker 1: the the policy, the meat, but but the the dessert 1085 01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 1: is coming up of some of the stuff from her book. 1086 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing from her book Tour the Rules. Oh, 1087 01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,800 Speaker 1: I've got some great stuff for you. But where this 1088 01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 1: is the blames, the blame game, the blame cycle that 1089 01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,800 Speaker 1: she's going through right now. She says this thing about 1090 01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:30,040 Speaker 1: Russia undermining democracy. What do you think undermines our democracy? 1091 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,560 Speaker 1: Which I know is a republic, but we have democratic institutions. 1092 01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:34,960 Speaker 1: And let's not get into the semantics too much, shall we. 1093 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 1: What do you think undermines democracy? More? Oh, some Russian 1094 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:47,800 Speaker 1: bots putting out fake news stories on Facebook and trying 1095 01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 1: to I don't know, in influence public I mean fake news. 1096 01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 1: If you've ever been to a grocery store, you've seen 1097 01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,200 Speaker 1: though some of those magazines by the checkout that's say 1098 01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 1: that you know, an alien was born in the desert 1099 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 1: with the face of Elvis or something. I mean, you know, 1100 01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,960 Speaker 1: fake news been around a long time. I should also 1101 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 1: note that it was the National Enquirer that broke the 1102 01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,520 Speaker 1: John Edwards story, which none of the media outlets would 1103 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:12,960 Speaker 1: touch initially. I should they did break that just amazing 1104 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:18,280 Speaker 1: as it is, um okay, But what what harms our 1105 01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:24,360 Speaker 1: democracy more that fake news from Russia and and the 1106 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:29,200 Speaker 1: Podesta emails that were released in all this, or the 1107 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:34,680 Speaker 1: president of the sorry, the presidential candidate from a political 1108 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 1: party that lost more or less calling the election illegitimate? 1109 01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 1: What do you think does more damage to our confidence 1110 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 1: in our institutions here? If it were really about supporting 1111 01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:51,040 Speaker 1: American institutions, I think calling an election illegitimate without the 1112 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,360 Speaker 1: evidence to do so would fall into that category. That 1113 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,280 Speaker 1: would be a problem. But it has nothing to do 1114 01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 1: with that. It's just sour grapes, sore losers, that's all 1115 01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,800 Speaker 1: it is. That's that's what this comes down to. And 1116 01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:13,840 Speaker 1: there's something both enlightening and pathetic about this whole Hillary tour. 1117 01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 1: Enlightening and that we're really seeing who this person is 1118 01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,640 Speaker 1: because there's no you know, there's no more mask, there's 1119 01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:25,280 Speaker 1: no more facade. No, there's there's no more I'm America's 1120 01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 1: grandma hugged me. I mean, that's all gone. So now 1121 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,320 Speaker 1: she's just out there saying what she wants to say 1122 01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,400 Speaker 1: to it. She doesn't need the money, very very rich 1123 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,760 Speaker 1: off of selling influence, pretending that it's from speech money. 1124 01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:42,440 Speaker 1: But it is from speech money, but it's influence peddling. Uh. 1125 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 1: But now we get to see who the real Hillary is. 1126 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,960 Speaker 1: And you know, whenever I know that not Hillary is 1127 01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,800 Speaker 1: is not a sufficient standard by which to judge the 1128 01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:55,360 Speaker 1: Trump administration and Donald Trump's success or or lack thereof 1129 01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,760 Speaker 1: as a president. But it is also something that we 1130 01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,600 Speaker 1: should keep in mind. It is it is interesting that 1131 01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:04,200 Speaker 1: the people who claim that voting for Donald Trump is 1132 01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:09,080 Speaker 1: some kind of moral defect, which is what the biggest 1133 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:13,040 Speaker 1: media outlets, with exception of Fox and the you know, 1134 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 1: that's the storyline that they're running with that has a 1135 01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,120 Speaker 1: lot less resonance when they're also out of the other 1136 01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 1: side of their mouth saying, isn't Hillary great? Nah? Nah? 1137 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:30,480 Speaker 1: Bro not so great? Not so great? So she's blaming everybody, 1138 01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,240 Speaker 1: She's all over the place play and of course sexism 1139 01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:36,280 Speaker 1: because she's whiny. Because one thing that's really going to advance, uh, 1140 01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,760 Speaker 1: the the role of women in politics is for the 1141 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,920 Speaker 1: first female presidential candidate, who is a terrible candidate and 1142 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:46,560 Speaker 1: made horrific decisions and mistakes along the way. I would 1143 01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:51,120 Speaker 1: offer to you that it's actually somewhat amazing that so 1144 01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:55,240 Speaker 1: many in the press based on what Hillary Clinton had done, 1145 01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 1: We're so certain that she was gonna win. She's under 1146 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,640 Speaker 1: an active FBI investigation everybody for real stuff. And she 1147 01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,000 Speaker 1: did the stuff that she was on her investigation for, 1148 01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:11,040 Speaker 1: and the press still was sure. They were sure that 1149 01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:15,520 Speaker 1: she was gonna win. What does that say about them? 1150 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,600 Speaker 1: What are we to take away from that? But also, 1151 01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, she's a woman, so she's yelling about sexism. 1152 01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,240 Speaker 1: You know, I write in the book about an incredible 1153 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,400 Speaker 1: conversation I had with Chryl Sandberg, who has done so 1154 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 1: much work to really untangle what it is what you know, 1155 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,480 Speaker 1: what's like realistic in terms of okay hangers, what you 1156 01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,240 Speaker 1: have to do to be successful, and what is tinged 1157 01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,840 Speaker 1: if not affected by sexism. And she says, look, the 1158 01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 1: research is absolutely clear. The more professionally successful a man becomes, 1159 01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,720 Speaker 1: the more likable he is. The more professionally successful a 1160 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:58,840 Speaker 1: woman becomes, the less likable she is. Yeah, blame it, 1161 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,440 Speaker 1: Blame it on sec Hilo is not likable because she 1162 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:06,640 Speaker 1: is female. That's what she's saying, or that was her problem. 1163 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:10,680 Speaker 1: It is pretty astonishing. You see all these claims come 1164 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:16,840 Speaker 1: out alright, Team buck a promise is a promise I said, 1165 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 1: I would bring it bring you up to speed on 1166 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:20,800 Speaker 1: some of the great stuff in Hillary's book, I I 1167 01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,880 Speaker 1: should probably commit to. I don't like to give the 1168 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:29,760 Speaker 1: Clinton you know, the Clinton um machine, any more money, 1169 01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:31,840 Speaker 1: but I might have to buy this book so I 1170 01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:33,600 Speaker 1: could read it, because I've been reading excerpts of it. 1171 01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,800 Speaker 1: But I probably will just ripped through it maybe this 1172 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,080 Speaker 1: weekend or something. Just this is the only one that 1173 01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,240 Speaker 1: I would find particularly interesting, I think from Hillary, because 1174 01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 1: all the other ones were just ghost writers. That are 1175 01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,040 Speaker 1: it's a political document in the in the guise of 1176 01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:47,800 Speaker 1: a book, right, That's what that was. You know. It 1177 01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:49,520 Speaker 1: takes a village and all this stuff that she used 1178 01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:53,080 Speaker 1: to write or that people would write under her name. Uh. 1179 01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,440 Speaker 1: But here here's some stuff. First of all, at the 1180 01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 1: Barnes and Noble here in New York City Union Square, 1181 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 1: which is a very large Barns and All. I think 1182 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,880 Speaker 1: it's like the flagship Barns and Noble in New York. Uh. 1183 01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,000 Speaker 1: They gave out these I saw this. They give out 1184 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,880 Speaker 1: these little slips of paper to let everybody know. And 1185 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,680 Speaker 1: here are among the rules for the book signing. UM. 1186 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:16,839 Speaker 1: No other books or memorabilia, posts, post photos, or selfies 1187 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:20,560 Speaker 1: will not be taking place, and please be aware that, 1188 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,920 Speaker 1: due to increase security, customers will not be allowed to 1189 01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 1: bring any large items to the third or fourth floor. 1190 01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,439 Speaker 1: Book purchase and wrist bands are both required to meet 1191 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,599 Speaker 1: the author, no exceptions. Customers without wrist bands will not 1192 01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,599 Speaker 1: be allowed to participate in any capacity. I mean, they're 1193 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,960 Speaker 1: really strict about this. You know you can't just like 1194 01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,400 Speaker 1: I want to shake Hill in the former first Lady's hand. 1195 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,760 Speaker 1: You better buy a book or else. Okay, maybe, look 1196 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,040 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's capitalism. I get it. They can 1197 01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,080 Speaker 1: set the rules, but I just wanted to seem a 1198 01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:52,240 Speaker 1: little extreme. Here's an excerpt though, from the book that 1199 01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,960 Speaker 1: I was just this is this is jaw hit the 1200 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 1: table stuff quote. Since November, I would do this in 1201 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,000 Speaker 1: Hillary voice, but I would actually lose my voice. Becau's 1202 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,920 Speaker 1: hard to do Hillary voice. Um. Since November, more than 1203 01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,880 Speaker 1: two dozen women of all ages, but mostly in their twenties, 1204 01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 1: had approached being restaurants, theaters, and stores to apologize for 1205 01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:19,120 Speaker 1: not voting or doing more to help my campaign. I 1206 01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:24,400 Speaker 1: responded with forced smiles and tight nods. On one occasion, 1207 01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:28,920 Speaker 1: an older woman dragged her adult daughter by the arm 1208 01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:32,400 Speaker 1: to come talk to me, and ordered her to apologize 1209 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:36,960 Speaker 1: for not voting, which she did. Head bowed in contrition. 1210 01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,759 Speaker 1: I wanted to stay right, stare right in her eyes 1211 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:44,400 Speaker 1: and say you didn't vote. How could you not vote? 1212 01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:48,280 Speaker 1: You abdicated your responsibility as a citizen at the worst 1213 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:51,960 Speaker 1: possible time, and now you want me to make you 1214 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,040 Speaker 1: feel better. Of course I didn't say any of that. 1215 01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,760 Speaker 1: These people were looking for absolution that I just couldn't give. 1216 01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,480 Speaker 1: We all have to live with the consequences of our decisions. 1217 01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:09,000 Speaker 1: She's crazy. I mean, it's like Hillary is the pope 1218 01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,080 Speaker 1: of progressivism and people have to go to her and seek, 1219 01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,400 Speaker 1: as she used the term absolution, like you're going to 1220 01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:22,320 Speaker 1: confess your sins against the status progressive orthodoxy. You know, 1221 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,160 Speaker 1: not a far left Democrat enough, not willing to do 1222 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:29,880 Speaker 1: enough for her? Remember that slogan, I'm with her, It's 1223 01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,520 Speaker 1: really I work for her. If you are a Democrat, 1224 01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,360 Speaker 1: that's what it was supposed to be. I am her subject. 1225 01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:40,840 Speaker 1: If you wanted a window into the royal mentality that 1226 01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,280 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton has, which she is a part of an 1227 01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:46,360 Speaker 1: American political dynasty, let's just call it what it is, 1228 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,960 Speaker 1: and I do not like dynasty's on the left or 1229 01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:52,439 Speaker 1: on the right. And I will be consistent on this. 1230 01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,639 Speaker 1: I don't want anybody running because their last night. Yeah, 1231 01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,880 Speaker 1: I know, I think George W. Bush was a good man. 1232 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,719 Speaker 1: I don't think he was the best possible option for president. 1233 01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:06,360 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. I don't like dynasty's. I 1234 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:10,280 Speaker 1: don't like people that I think that we owe them 1235 01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 1: something because of their family lineage, their last name. I 1236 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 1: just I don't. I mean, you know, people can like 1237 01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,400 Speaker 1: it and think it's great. I don't. I just feel 1238 01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:19,519 Speaker 1: that doesn't feel very American to me. I also don't 1239 01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 1: like nepotism. But that's conversation for another day. But here 1240 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,040 Speaker 1: she is telling us that people go up to her 1241 01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:31,439 Speaker 1: and apologize, and she feels apologize average citizens for not 1242 01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:37,480 Speaker 1: doing enough to get her. This deeply entitled, grasping, unlikable, 1243 01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 1: corrupt woman didn't do enough to get her elected, and 1244 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:47,640 Speaker 1: she feels contempt towards them. She wants to yell at them. 1245 01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:55,800 Speaker 1: She's writing this in her book. I mean, come on, everybody, 1246 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,200 Speaker 1: and am I the I can't be the only things? 1247 01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:03,639 Speaker 1: This is bonkersville. You read this and you're just left 1248 01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:09,559 Speaker 1: being like, what the heck is going on? Oh? One more? Um, 1249 01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:16,759 Speaker 1: this is from Okay. She writes that I couldn't believe 1250 01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,800 Speaker 1: this either quote, So this is her version of one 1251 01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:22,280 Speaker 1: of the things that that's wrong here. Attempting to define 1252 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 1: reality is a core feature of authoritarianism. This is what 1253 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,559 Speaker 1: the Soviets did when they erase political dissidence from historical photos. 1254 01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:34,080 Speaker 1: This is what happens in George Orwell's classic novel when 1255 01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:37,439 Speaker 1: a torturer holds up four fingers and delivers electric shocks 1256 01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,639 Speaker 1: until his prisoner sees five fingers as ordered. The goal 1257 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:42,920 Speaker 1: is to make you question logic and reason, and to 1258 01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:47,040 Speaker 1: so mistrust towards exactly the people we need to rely on, 1259 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:51,880 Speaker 1: our leaders, the press experts who seek to guide public 1260 01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:55,880 Speaker 1: policy based on evidence. For Trump, as with so much 1261 01:12:55,920 --> 01:13:00,479 Speaker 1: he does, it's about simple dominance. Hillary Clinton, whether she 1262 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,280 Speaker 1: wrote this or not, she's signed off on it in 1263 01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:07,240 Speaker 1: her book, is saying the problem four is that the 1264 01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:13,280 Speaker 1: people who are working for Big Brother are reducing trust 1265 01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:17,120 Speaker 1: and Big Brother. Yeah, that's the problem, Hillary. We don't 1266 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:23,280 Speaker 1: we don't have enough expert statuss running things in I mean, 1267 01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:26,519 Speaker 1: I go back to what Bannitt said about her. She's 1268 01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:29,240 Speaker 1: just not that smart. I mean, I'm not saying she's dumb, 1269 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,400 Speaker 1: but she's just not that smart. I think we had 1270 01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,560 Speaker 1: a lot of evidence for this right now, really unimpressive. 1271 01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I've been telling you for a while. Why 1272 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:39,760 Speaker 1: do you guys think I've been dealing with? This is 1273 01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:41,840 Speaker 1: crazy what I've put up with. I mean, Hillary, you know, 1274 01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,160 Speaker 1: he's running around saying all this stuff, and I'm just like, 1275 01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:47,160 Speaker 1: I should have gone for term three. Baby, We'll be 1276 01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:54,800 Speaker 1: right back. He's back with you now, because when it 1277 01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:58,080 Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. 1278 01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:02,200 Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say, and I'm all 1279 01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:04,000 Speaker 1: I do is talk for a living right, So that's 1280 01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:07,720 Speaker 1: saying something. Buck back with you all now. Team UH. 1281 01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:13,800 Speaker 1: Chelsea Manning formerly Bradley Manning. Dead naming, which is when 1282 01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:16,760 Speaker 1: you name a transgender person's previous name before they quote 1283 01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,439 Speaker 1: change genders. Even though gender transition is not something that 1284 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:25,040 Speaker 1: is medically scientifically possible, UH is now grounds according to 1285 01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,919 Speaker 1: progressives and the left. That's grounds. That's grounds for termination 1286 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,160 Speaker 1: or at least discipline. If you dead name, quote dead 1287 01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:34,040 Speaker 1: name somebody. So if you ever say Bradley Manning, even 1288 01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:38,720 Speaker 1: in reference to Chelsea Manning's previous name. That's that is 1289 01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,000 Speaker 1: to be you want to talk about Soviet rewriting of history, 1290 01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:45,280 Speaker 1: that that's not allowed anymore. Uh, It's it's amazing, but 1291 01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:50,080 Speaker 1: that is the truth. Uh. Chelsea Manning, according to Military Times, here, 1292 01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:53,880 Speaker 1: will be joining Harvard University as a visiting fellow at 1293 01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:56,679 Speaker 1: the Kennedy School of Government. According to the school's website, 1294 01:14:56,720 --> 01:15:00,200 Speaker 1: I want to tell you something, well insider inside baseball here, 1295 01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:04,599 Speaker 1: because I could have gone to any international relations security 1296 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,120 Speaker 1: studies grad school. Now it's not I'm not a brag 1297 01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:08,840 Speaker 1: or a humble brag, or maybe it is a brag. 1298 01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:10,120 Speaker 1: What I'm just telling I could have gone any of 1299 01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:13,360 Speaker 1: those schools. Um if I decided to based on my 1300 01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:16,360 Speaker 1: government service, it wouldn't have been hard at all. Um 1301 01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:18,760 Speaker 1: and and in fact, it without getting too into it, 1302 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,519 Speaker 1: I mean I knew that those were all options for me. 1303 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,840 Speaker 1: I can tell you the Kennedy the Kennedy School is 1304 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:27,680 Speaker 1: basically trading off the Harvard name without really it's just 1305 01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,240 Speaker 1: not it's just not that impressive. And I mean I'm 1306 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 1: not trying to be a jerk. I'm just saying that. 1307 01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,920 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I went to the Kennedy School of Government. Well, 1308 01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:37,760 Speaker 1: you can basically find out everything you're learning there for 1309 01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,639 Speaker 1: free on the internet. I mean, I'm I have friends 1310 01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:42,960 Speaker 1: who went, many of them, they have degrees, and they'll 1311 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:44,960 Speaker 1: be the first to admit it. They're like, yeah, it's 1312 01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:46,960 Speaker 1: kind of like going to j school, which is journal 1313 01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:50,000 Speaker 1: in school, which is also not really worth it. So yes, 1314 01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:54,519 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm throwing a little little stuff the way 1315 01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:56,800 Speaker 1: of Harvard right now. You know, if you could have 1316 01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,120 Speaker 1: gone there, you would have whatever. Trust me, Kennedy School 1317 01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,320 Speaker 1: is not undergrad you. It's incredibly hard to get into, 1318 01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 1: and it's all unfair and everything, and people there's a 1319 01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:06,720 Speaker 1: million different ways people get into these schools. Poinium trying 1320 01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:09,160 Speaker 1: to make is a Kennedy School already is not what 1321 01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:11,120 Speaker 1: people think it is in terms of how impressive it is, 1322 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,679 Speaker 1: although it does carry the Harvard name. But I think 1323 01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:18,240 Speaker 1: this tells you a lot um when they hire a 1324 01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:26,600 Speaker 1: visiting fellow who committed espionage against against his own country 1325 01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:35,240 Speaker 1: and didn't remember there was no uh pardon. So Chelsea 1326 01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,759 Speaker 1: Manning is a convicted criminal, just had a commuted sentence, 1327 01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:42,040 Speaker 1: that's all, And Harvard Harvard University hiring to be a 1328 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 1: fellow to speak on issues of lgbt Q in the military. 1329 01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:48,080 Speaker 1: You know, if the l g b t Q population 1330 01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:51,640 Speaker 1: within the military wants to have a discussion about the 1331 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,800 Speaker 1: future that all, I'm all for it, right and and 1332 01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:58,559 Speaker 1: policy and everything else. Do not line up behind Chelsea 1333 01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:02,800 Speaker 1: Manning as your spoke person because I'm not going to 1334 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:04,920 Speaker 1: take that seriously and I'm not gonna want to hear it. 1335 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:06,519 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of you probably feel the 1336 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 1: same way. Um, I'm guessing actually all of you feel 1337 01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,360 Speaker 1: the same way. But you know, there's always there's one 1338 01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,360 Speaker 1: or two angry one or two angry listeners right now 1339 01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 1: in uh, you know, the Bay Area, Los Angeles. Maybe 1340 01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:24,479 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think where else you know, the most 1341 01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:28,080 Speaker 1: liberal places imaginable? Nantucket. Oh it's a little late in 1342 01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,360 Speaker 1: the year form Nantucket. Hello, book, I'm listening to you 1343 01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:33,439 Speaker 1: from Nantucket. It's where all the super fancy rich journalists 1344 01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:35,320 Speaker 1: go by the way because they love the people so much, 1345 01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:38,280 Speaker 1: so they go to a hyper expensive, tiny little island 1346 01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:40,439 Speaker 1: off of New England. That's where they spend their time 1347 01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:42,960 Speaker 1: on vacation. But they love the people. You know, they're 1348 01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,640 Speaker 1: really concerned about the plight of illegal immigrants, but they 1349 01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:50,320 Speaker 1: spend all their free time in Nantucket. Uh where was I? Okay? 1350 01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,439 Speaker 1: So Chelsea Manning hired at Harvard, which is a disgrace. 1351 01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:56,759 Speaker 1: And oh, I gotta call here Phill in New Hampshire 1352 01:17:56,800 --> 01:18:00,720 Speaker 1: on the I Heart app. What's going on? Phil? Just 1353 01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,640 Speaker 1: gonna weigh in and let you just gonna weigh in 1354 01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:07,120 Speaker 1: and let you know that it's absolutely brutal and unfair 1355 01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,000 Speaker 1: to have to listen to the whole Hillary thing and 1356 01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,080 Speaker 1: and try to keep my mind on the idea that 1357 01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:17,439 Speaker 1: I was going to call you with, you know, because 1358 01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,120 Speaker 1: it's just shooting fish in a barrel and I'm thinking 1359 01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 1: of all these other things that would just be great 1360 01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:26,640 Speaker 1: to talk about. I and Hillary. Hillary is distracting. It's 1361 01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,439 Speaker 1: one of her many skills. Oh it's and and the 1362 01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:31,960 Speaker 1: last thing you brought up about Manning. I mean, you know, 1363 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,400 Speaker 1: it's further proof that the the left is going to 1364 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:40,320 Speaker 1: augur in in these colleges and universities. The media are 1365 01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:43,080 Speaker 1: I think they're really missing what a lot of us 1366 01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:47,160 Speaker 1: out here are are kind of thinking. And uh, and 1367 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,919 Speaker 1: as they augured more and more deeply in and Dartmouth 1368 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:55,639 Speaker 1: has had some shenanigans and uh, I know on borderline 1369 01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:59,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna sound borderline solipsistic here, meaning that I consider 1370 01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 1: myself to be the center of the universe. SALUPSI m 1371 01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:05,639 Speaker 1: uh word of the day, everybody. But you know Amer's College, 1372 01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:07,559 Speaker 1: my alma mater, which was in the news just recently 1373 01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:10,719 Speaker 1: because of the and you know the the banner about 1374 01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:14,400 Speaker 1: about flags covering dead bodies in the war on terror. Um. 1375 01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:16,600 Speaker 1: But they used to invite me when I worked for 1376 01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,040 Speaker 1: the government, I would get invited. I get invited a 1377 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:22,639 Speaker 1: few times. I went up and spoke uh at Amer's College. 1378 01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:25,400 Speaker 1: Now that I'm a media figure with a nationally syndicated 1379 01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:29,800 Speaker 1: radio show, worked at big networks, etcetera, etcetera, not a 1380 01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:33,280 Speaker 1: peep they would never have me to the campus. Never. 1381 01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:36,960 Speaker 1: It's crazy. I'm an alumni, they won't have me. No interest. 1382 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,080 Speaker 1: They used to ask me. So it's not like they're 1383 01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:41,160 Speaker 1: not aware of me. It's not like the administrators aren't 1384 01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:44,120 Speaker 1: aware of who I am. But they would never let 1385 01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:45,960 Speaker 1: me go back anymore. I mean, these places have been 1386 01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:51,320 Speaker 1: not just infiltrated, they have been cleansed of conservatism. It 1387 01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:56,479 Speaker 1: has been eliminated. It is gone. One of my litless 1388 01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:59,719 Speaker 1: tests for anybody that I would ever have a political 1389 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,439 Speaker 1: conversation with is you know, let's start by at least 1390 01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:08,839 Speaker 1: concede that liberal ideology has infiltrated our entire educational system. 1391 01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:13,080 Speaker 1: Concede that point, please, and also concede that the media 1392 01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:16,080 Speaker 1: is left and has been for a long time. And 1393 01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:18,360 Speaker 1: if somebody won't at least give me that as a 1394 01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:23,400 Speaker 1: starting point, then you're talking to a fully delusional Democrat 1395 01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:27,519 Speaker 1: left wing. Absolutely, it's just pointless. Absolutely, m phil Man. 1396 01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:29,200 Speaker 1: Great to hear from you up in New Hampshire, Shields. 1397 01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:32,559 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Uh you know, I'll say one thing, 1398 01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:37,160 Speaker 1: the bias and media has even affected affected me. I mean, 1399 01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:39,880 Speaker 1: I see it. There are people that I have worked 1400 01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:43,880 Speaker 1: with over the years or been around and worked with 1401 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,439 Speaker 1: in good faith, and I've never wronged them. I've never 1402 01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:51,560 Speaker 1: I've never professionally or personally done anything against them or 1403 01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,479 Speaker 1: to harm them. But I have later found out that 1404 01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:59,800 Speaker 1: behind my back or without you know, behind my back, 1405 01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:03,880 Speaker 1: the essentially tried to uh you know, submarine me, deep 1406 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,559 Speaker 1: six me, take me out, you know, tried to cause 1407 01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,920 Speaker 1: problems for me because I'm a conservative because of what 1408 01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:12,680 Speaker 1: I believe and say, and I'm very open about it 1409 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:17,960 Speaker 1: up front, and I'll talk to anybody, but they have 1410 01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:20,680 Speaker 1: and this is it's it's troubling, and it's part of 1411 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:24,280 Speaker 1: this mentality that is exists on the left. It's really 1412 01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:28,120 Speaker 1: a totalitarian mindset. You know, there are people who, yeah, 1413 01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,800 Speaker 1: they're all smiles, and you know they're their journalists, and 1414 01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, we can be friends off air or whatever. 1415 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,120 Speaker 1: And I always take the approach if I treat every 1416 01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:39,479 Speaker 1: individual as an individual. But because I'm a conservative, I 1417 01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,799 Speaker 1: have found out that there are people across the aisle 1418 01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:45,080 Speaker 1: who pretend like we can actually just be normally human 1419 01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,960 Speaker 1: beings interact, and then later on I find out they've 1420 01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:49,800 Speaker 1: been working against me in secret the whole time. And 1421 01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,360 Speaker 1: I'm not paranoid. I've found this out for sure, for real. 1422 01:21:52,520 --> 01:22:00,320 Speaker 1: So it's interesting as that plays out. But it's not 1423 01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:04,040 Speaker 1: just in this country that we have debates over statues 1424 01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:08,080 Speaker 1: and our history and what we should and should not celebrate. 1425 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:14,160 Speaker 1: This iconoclastic impulse on the left is something that exists 1426 01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:18,160 Speaker 1: in Europe as well. There's a news story up about 1427 01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:26,080 Speaker 1: how left wing extremists vandalized a statue to the Polish 1428 01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:31,280 Speaker 1: king yan Sobieski. Uh And if you don't know this. Uh, 1429 01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:33,840 Speaker 1: this is a fantastic time to get into the history 1430 01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:37,200 Speaker 1: of all. I have to apologize we are a day late. 1431 01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:39,720 Speaker 1: But before I tell you what the history is, you 1432 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:43,760 Speaker 1: have these all left extremists that wrote Nazi or no 1433 01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:49,360 Speaker 1: Nazi rather no Nazis on this statue. Uh, this monument 1434 01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:54,559 Speaker 1: to jon Sobayvski, who is what was involved in one 1435 01:22:54,640 --> 01:23:00,320 Speaker 1: of the most important battles in Western civilization's history. And 1436 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:02,400 Speaker 1: I have to tell you, I think it is no 1437 01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:06,679 Speaker 1: accident at all that very few people in this country 1438 01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:09,880 Speaker 1: learn about this in school. I was never taught this. 1439 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:15,280 Speaker 1: It might have been one sentence in a textbook that 1440 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:18,840 Speaker 1: I read during you know, advance, I took ap European history, 1441 01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:21,840 Speaker 1: uh in high school. I don't think I ever spent 1442 01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,280 Speaker 1: any time on this subject. I've had to teach myself this. 1443 01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 1: In fact, if you were to look at my bookshelf, 1444 01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,719 Speaker 1: you would see that there are a series of history 1445 01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:34,160 Speaker 1: books dealing with the Barbary States, with the Battle of Lepanto, 1446 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:36,679 Speaker 1: which we will be talking about in some detail coming 1447 01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:40,360 Speaker 1: up in October during its anniversary, with the Siege of Malta, 1448 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:43,000 Speaker 1: which I will tell you more about later this week, 1449 01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:48,920 Speaker 1: with the various sieges of Vienna. These are incredibly important 1450 01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:56,200 Speaker 1: historical uh well, incredibly important battles and historical markers for 1451 01:23:56,680 --> 01:24:00,719 Speaker 1: what was the greatest period of expansion of the Islamic 1452 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:04,200 Speaker 1: conquest yesterday. Here's what the protest had to do with 1453 01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:08,439 Speaker 1: and the reason these all left crazies are defacing a 1454 01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:14,880 Speaker 1: statue of a Polish king from the seventeenth century. September twelve, 1455 01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:20,360 Speaker 1: six three was the day that the Second Great Siege 1456 01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:26,599 Speaker 1: of Vienna was broken by the largest cavalry charge in history. 1457 01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:29,680 Speaker 1: You see, what they don't tell you in school is 1458 01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:36,519 Speaker 1: that the Ottoman Empire was a virulently uh, expansionistic, and 1459 01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:46,840 Speaker 1: ethnocentric and religiously sectarian empire built on conquest and slavery. Uh. 1460 01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,120 Speaker 1: They pretend that there was all of this, There was 1461 01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:51,320 Speaker 1: peace and love, and the Ottomans were great and they 1462 01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:55,120 Speaker 1: were so powerful. Uh. The Ottomans were trying to take 1463 01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:59,880 Speaker 1: control of Europe. They were trying to eradicate Christianity. These 1464 01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,840 Speaker 1: battles that I am rattling off to you, whether it 1465 01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:08,719 Speaker 1: is the Battle of Malta in UH six fifteen sixty five, 1466 01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:13,280 Speaker 1: or the First Great Siege of Vienna in fifteen twenty nine, 1467 01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:17,040 Speaker 1: or the Battle of Lepanto in fifteen seventy one, or 1468 01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:23,439 Speaker 1: the Second Great Siege of Vienna in sixteen eighty three. 1469 01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:28,320 Speaker 1: These are all dates that everybody who goes through high school, 1470 01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:31,759 Speaker 1: everyone who's taken history classes, should know, but we don't. 1471 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,559 Speaker 1: I didn't know them either until I got out of school. 1472 01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:39,120 Speaker 1: I had to teach myself because we have this storyline 1473 01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:43,080 Speaker 1: about how Islam is so oppressed, and Islam in the 1474 01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:48,000 Speaker 1: colonial period was suffering under the the vile dictates of 1475 01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:51,160 Speaker 1: Western European powers like France and Britain. We all know 1476 01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:54,719 Speaker 1: about bal four and his declaration. We all know about 1477 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:59,040 Speaker 1: Sykes Pico and the carving up of the Near East 1478 01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:01,880 Speaker 1: between British and French spheres of influence, or at least 1479 01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:04,760 Speaker 1: we hear about that in these history classes. What you 1480 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:07,880 Speaker 1: don't here is that the Ottomans were trying to grab 1481 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:12,160 Speaker 1: at the throat of Europe itself, which was Christendom. These 1482 01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:16,040 Speaker 1: there's synonymous terms. There was no Christendom really beyond Europe, 1483 01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,759 Speaker 1: with the exception of some settlements in the New World, 1484 01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:22,519 Speaker 1: and they were trying to destroy it. They were trying 1485 01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:25,960 Speaker 1: to stamp it out, and they got pretty darn close 1486 01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:31,920 Speaker 1: uh Malta, Lepanto, Vienna one, Vienna too. These are essential battles, 1487 01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:36,680 Speaker 1: and yesterday is the commemoration, or should be the commemoration 1488 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:41,879 Speaker 1: of the one of the most important military defeats in history. 1489 01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:44,960 Speaker 1: You had the Ottoman Empire lay siege to the city 1490 01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:49,320 Speaker 1: of Vienna, currently capital of Austria, but at this point 1491 01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:54,320 Speaker 1: in time, the Hungary, the Hungarian State, the Austrian State. 1492 01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:58,719 Speaker 1: These weren't actually countries that existed. They were all broken 1493 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:02,680 Speaker 1: up into these different kingdoms. But those kingdoms that were 1494 01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:04,920 Speaker 1: part of really the the whole what had been the 1495 01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:10,719 Speaker 1: Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg Dynasty's domains. Eastern Europe 1496 01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:16,120 Speaker 1: was essential, incredibly powerful, and Eastern Europe was the bulwark. 1497 01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:20,680 Speaker 1: It was the place where Islam was running into a 1498 01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:25,160 Speaker 1: Christendom that was willing to defend itself. Now, the Muslim 1499 01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:30,440 Speaker 1: advance into Eastern Europe had been going on for centuries. 1500 01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:34,280 Speaker 1: There were hundreds of years of these battles between Christians 1501 01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,240 Speaker 1: and the Ottomans. Now, the Ottomans were, for all intents 1502 01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:42,759 Speaker 1: and purposes, emblematic of and the sole domain of Islam. 1503 01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:45,960 Speaker 1: Because the Ottomans controlled what we now think of as 1504 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,960 Speaker 1: the Middle East, they controlled North Africa. So the Ottoman 1505 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:52,439 Speaker 1: Empire was the Caliphate. So when I talked to you 1506 01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:57,880 Speaker 1: about battles between Christendom and the Ottomans, I'm really or rather, uh, 1507 01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:02,839 Speaker 1: the the Holy League's states or allied Christian states against 1508 01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:06,800 Speaker 1: the Ottomans. What we're talking about is Christendom versus the Caliphate. 1509 01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:10,920 Speaker 1: That's what's really happening. And the Battle of Vienna was 1510 01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:15,839 Speaker 1: when the Ottomans got together a hundred and fifty thousand 1511 01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:20,160 Speaker 1: troops and surrounded Vienna. Uh. It was a siege that 1512 01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:23,320 Speaker 1: lasted for a couple of months, and they were close 1513 01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:25,759 Speaker 1: to taking the city. They were tunneling closer and closer 1514 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:28,560 Speaker 1: to the inner walls. They broke the outer defenses and 1515 01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:32,960 Speaker 1: were close to the inner walls. Another bit of history 1516 01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:35,519 Speaker 1: that I'm willing to bet none of us were taught 1517 01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:38,320 Speaker 1: in school. And I say that with full self awareness 1518 01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:41,680 Speaker 1: because I wasn't taught in school either, And I had 1519 01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,479 Speaker 1: to go and find old, dusty, out of print history 1520 01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,439 Speaker 1: books to really learn about some of this stuff on 1521 01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,519 Speaker 1: my own. How many people could tell me about the 1522 01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:54,479 Speaker 1: Perik Toldsdorff massacre, And I know that sounds kind of weird. 1523 01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:56,320 Speaker 1: Like buck. Why do you want to tell us about 1524 01:28:56,320 --> 01:29:00,599 Speaker 1: the perik Toldsdorff massacre, Well, because it was a turning 1525 01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:04,000 Speaker 1: point in our own history because of the impact that 1526 01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:07,840 Speaker 1: it had on the Second Great Siege of Vienna, which 1527 01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:12,760 Speaker 1: again the commemoration of the Christian victory over the Caliphate 1528 01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:17,800 Speaker 1: is yesterday September twelve. Back in sixteen eighty three, and 1529 01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:21,840 Speaker 1: Yan Sobieski led the relief force, which which then led 1530 01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:25,640 Speaker 1: to a massive cavalry charge to defeat the Ottomans. But 1531 01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:29,760 Speaker 1: perk Toldsdorff was this little town that was on the 1532 01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:33,559 Speaker 1: way to Vienna, and the Ottomans. Remember the Ottomans are 1533 01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:37,800 Speaker 1: so trustworthy. They're multicultural, multi lingual, that's what you're taught 1534 01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:42,960 Speaker 1: in school. The Ottomans told this little town, if you 1535 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:45,639 Speaker 1: hand over the keys, if you surrender without a fight, 1536 01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:49,439 Speaker 1: you will just be under the Sultan's domain, but none 1537 01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:51,400 Speaker 1: of you will be harmed. And do you know what 1538 01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:55,080 Speaker 1: the Ottomans did, just because they felt like it. They 1539 01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:58,880 Speaker 1: massacred the inhabitants of the town, breaking what had been 1540 01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:03,080 Speaker 1: a long standing procedure for sieges going back for centuries. 1541 01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:05,360 Speaker 1: If you hand over the keys, even in the days 1542 01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:09,200 Speaker 1: of the Mongol invasions. If you don't fight, you don't die. 1543 01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:14,240 Speaker 1: That was the deal. They broke that deal. And because 1544 01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:18,679 Speaker 1: they broke that deal, there was a steely backed resolve 1545 01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:23,200 Speaker 1: among the defenders of Vienna, who were greatly outnumbered, to 1546 01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:27,000 Speaker 1: hold at all costs. If it's not for perk Toldsdorff, 1547 01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:31,080 Speaker 1: if it is not for the message by sent by 1548 01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:37,479 Speaker 1: the Sultan's own massacre under his his Pasha, the Grand Vizier, 1549 01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:40,599 Speaker 1: that was the instrument of his military will. If there 1550 01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:43,840 Speaker 1: had not been this massacre, perhaps Vienna would have wanted 1551 01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:47,240 Speaker 1: to negotiate. Perhaps Vienna would have fallen into the hands 1552 01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:52,759 Speaker 1: of the Ottomans. And Vienna is, of course the gateway 1553 01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:55,960 Speaker 1: to the rest of Europe. The Danube, Eastern Europe was 1554 01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:59,759 Speaker 1: going to be decisive in the future of the rest 1555 01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:04,040 Speaker 1: of Christendom. And it was only because of Jansbayevski and 1556 01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:08,040 Speaker 1: that charged with his Hussars, with his elite cavalry troops, 1557 01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:13,280 Speaker 1: routing and defeating this massive Ottoman force on September twelve, 1558 01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:20,240 Speaker 1: sixteen eighty three, that you and I are not sitting 1559 01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:25,559 Speaker 1: here getting ready to say our evening prayers facing Mecca 1560 01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:29,920 Speaker 1: and speaking some version of Turkish. I know that sounds crazy, 1561 01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,080 Speaker 1: but trust me, it would have been a very different 1562 01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:37,880 Speaker 1: history for Europe if the Islamic conquest, if the offensive 1563 01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,519 Speaker 1: Jihad had taken Vienna in the heart of Europe, it 1564 01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:46,160 Speaker 1: would have changed everything. And that's why the left, because 1565 01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:50,720 Speaker 1: they view Islam as a counterweight to Western civilization and Christianity. 1566 01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:54,920 Speaker 1: That's why they hate Yans Bayeski. So let's celebrate him 1567 01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:58,960 Speaker 1: a bit, my friends. High five for winning the siege 1568 01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:02,519 Speaker 1: of Vienna and even Christendom and with it the Western world. 1569 01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:10,280 Speaker 1: We tip our hat to you, Yan Sayeski. He's holding 1570 01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:20,080 Speaker 1: the line for America. Buck Sexton his back. Aren't everybody 1571 01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:22,800 Speaker 1: big day in the new cycle? Lots going on, and 1572 01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:25,960 Speaker 1: to help us make sense of some of it, Joe 1573 01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:29,760 Speaker 1: con should tell me a bit about um Jamil Hill 1574 01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:34,479 Speaker 1: and this whole ESPN controversy. Oh you mean Jamiel Hill, 1575 01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,479 Speaker 1: who anchors Sports Center at six o'clock on ESPN and 1576 01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:41,080 Speaker 1: called the president of white supremacist that Jamial Hill, Yeah, 1577 01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:44,479 Speaker 1: tweeted that out. Um. The tweets are still up, they 1578 01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:48,320 Speaker 1: haven't been deleted. ESPN said they spoke to Jamille about 1579 01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:51,360 Speaker 1: it and she understands that it's inappropriate and that's the 1580 01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:54,600 Speaker 1: end of it. No suspension, Uh, no reprimand as far 1581 01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,120 Speaker 1: as we could see in any capacity, she's on the air. 1582 01:32:58,000 --> 01:32:59,600 Speaker 1: She was on the air the day after she said it. 1583 01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:02,519 Speaker 1: And meanwhile, ESPN in the past has fired people for 1584 01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:05,880 Speaker 1: tweets much much less offensive, regardless of whether you like 1585 01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:08,439 Speaker 1: President Trump or not, including the Kirk Schillings of the world. 1586 01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:12,040 Speaker 1: Can coward the guy who did the Mother Day football team, 1587 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:15,320 Speaker 1: Hank Williams Jr. So, ESPN appears to be having an 1588 01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:18,000 Speaker 1: issue with selective justice in terms of firing people that 1589 01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:22,720 Speaker 1: tend to uh share conservative views while promoting those who 1590 01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:26,479 Speaker 1: uh share views that are in line with say, Black 1591 01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:30,120 Speaker 1: Lives Matter or your average leftist extremist. And didn't ESPN 1592 01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:33,120 Speaker 1: fire somebody for not even their political bent, but just 1593 01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:36,960 Speaker 1: what was a mistake but that offended the PC crowd. 1594 01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:39,680 Speaker 1: Didn't someone right chink in the armor years ago on 1595 01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:43,160 Speaker 1: ESPN get fired? Yeah? Yeah, there was a there's an 1596 01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:45,439 Speaker 1: Asian point guard that they played for the Knicks. Uh 1597 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:48,640 Speaker 1: that um you know he started, he was he was 1598 01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:51,800 Speaker 1: spectacular coming out of the gate. And Jeremy lynn of 1599 01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:53,880 Speaker 1: all these points, Yeah, Jeremy Lynne exactly. The name was 1600 01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:56,920 Speaker 1: escaping me for a second. Uh, and Jeremy Lynn. It 1601 01:33:57,000 --> 01:33:58,800 Speaker 1: was just incredible, just light in the city on fire. 1602 01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:01,559 Speaker 1: And then you know, I guests as the season wore down, 1603 01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:04,280 Speaker 1: he wasn't quite as hot as he was before. And 1604 01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:06,640 Speaker 1: then somebody just wrote, oh a chink and chink in 1605 01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:08,240 Speaker 1: the armor, and I think they're breaking down like his 1606 01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:10,599 Speaker 1: defense and how he couldn't guard big point guards. Uh, 1607 01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:13,080 Speaker 1: and literally that was it, and and that was the 1608 01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:14,799 Speaker 1: end of that. Yeah, he was done, he was fired. 1609 01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:16,920 Speaker 1: I mean they were which I should note there's no 1610 01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:19,680 Speaker 1: way that that guy wrote that thinking that he was 1611 01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:22,639 Speaker 1: using a racial slur, because to use a racial slur 1612 01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:24,760 Speaker 1: at ESPN is to beg to be fired, right, So 1613 01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,840 Speaker 1: there's it was clearly an accident, of course, and he 1614 01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:29,519 Speaker 1: said it was an accident and it should have just 1615 01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:31,400 Speaker 1: been okay, don't do it again. Are in a bad 1616 01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:33,160 Speaker 1: choice of words. But it wasn't even that. I mean, 1617 01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:35,880 Speaker 1: it's a common sports term when you're talking about somebody 1618 01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:39,040 Speaker 1: who has a liability and playing a certain sport in pridiculous. 1619 01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:45,200 Speaker 1: So anyway, Uh, what I was gonna say was that ESPN, 1620 01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:48,320 Speaker 1: ESPN is now is ESPN is now MSNBC with Sports show. 1621 01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:50,519 Speaker 1: It's true. It's been that way for a while. Oh 1622 01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:52,720 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, m S ESPN is is what one Fox 1623 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:56,560 Speaker 1: Sports uh columnist calls it. But look, they've gone the 1624 01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,439 Speaker 1: tv Land route. Remember tv Land to Duke's a hazard 1625 01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:03,040 Speaker 1: off the air? I don't remember that, Yeah, for all 1626 01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:06,280 Speaker 1: for eternity, because they had a car called the General 1627 01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:08,040 Speaker 1: Lee that had to start some parts on the top 1628 01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:10,080 Speaker 1: of the car. And so now they've gone the same 1629 01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:13,519 Speaker 1: route in that. They actually two weeks ago took a 1630 01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:16,680 Speaker 1: guy off the air, Robert Lee, an Asian. Oh I 1631 01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:19,840 Speaker 1: remember we talked about this on the show. This was crazy. Yeah, 1632 01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:21,680 Speaker 1: and moved into another game because he was doing a 1633 01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:25,680 Speaker 1: game in Charlottesville at the University of Virginia. That is 1634 01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:27,360 Speaker 1: as the same thing. And then the week before that, 1635 01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:30,599 Speaker 1: they apologize for holding a Fantasy Football League draft auction 1636 01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,080 Speaker 1: because some extremists on social media, not even notable people, 1637 01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:36,599 Speaker 1: said hey, that's like a slave auction, which is kind 1638 01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:39,880 Speaker 1: of funny because my Fantasy football League team had plenty 1639 01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:44,160 Speaker 1: of white guys on it. In the NFL. Matt Ryan, Gronkowski, Doskowski, 1640 01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:46,800 Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, how could you have a slave auction when 1641 01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:49,799 Speaker 1: there's one black people in the league, plus everybody everybody 1642 01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:53,400 Speaker 1: who's getting drafted in the NFL. They're they're making millions 1643 01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:56,320 Speaker 1: of dollars. So there's that aspect of it too. It 1644 01:35:56,479 --> 01:35:59,120 Speaker 1: is about as far away from slavery as it gets 1645 01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:03,400 Speaker 1: when you're making what one of the American people make 1646 01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:06,320 Speaker 1: in terms of in terms of wages. That's a that's 1647 01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:08,639 Speaker 1: that's an excellent point. I should have made that as well. So, yeah, 1648 01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:10,800 Speaker 1: they've they've lost their mind completely and now they're losing 1649 01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:14,400 Speaker 1: their ratings. Look, there's cord cutting going on, and obviously 1650 01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:17,160 Speaker 1: more people are watching things online and through streaming aspects. 1651 01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:19,680 Speaker 1: I get that, but the political aspect and all the 1652 01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:21,519 Speaker 1: people I speak to I used to be a sports writer. 1653 01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:23,240 Speaker 1: I have a plenty of friends that are sports freaks. 1654 01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:25,120 Speaker 1: Let's say, you know what, I'm just watching Fox Sports 1655 01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:28,280 Speaker 1: one because I can't sit there and have politics. Colin 1656 01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:31,120 Speaker 1: Kaepernick shoved down my throat every two minutes. I just 1657 01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,240 Speaker 1: want the damn score, the damn game, and I just 1658 01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:36,040 Speaker 1: want an analysis of Nickel defense. Really, that's it. I 1659 01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:37,439 Speaker 1: thought it was great, by the way, when you had 1660 01:36:37,520 --> 01:36:41,960 Speaker 1: when you had Jamal uh, what sort Jamal Hill with 1661 01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,800 Speaker 1: with Colin Kaepernick he tweeted out last night, we stand 1662 01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:47,760 Speaker 1: with you. I'm like, oh, that's gonna help. This is 1663 01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:50,640 Speaker 1: gonna quiet the storm down to right. I mean, now, 1664 01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:52,680 Speaker 1: now it's a matter of taking sides. And and now 1665 01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:55,360 Speaker 1: if you're a conservative, or you you know, actually voted 1666 01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:57,960 Speaker 1: for the president, or or you're just kind of apathetic 1667 01:36:58,000 --> 01:36:59,280 Speaker 1: tours and you're like, I don't want to watch this 1668 01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:01,960 Speaker 1: network anymore. Or when when they're six PM anchor, which 1669 01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:04,599 Speaker 1: is the flagship sports center show, thinks that the president 1670 01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:07,200 Speaker 1: is a white supremacist, can tweet that out and nothing 1671 01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:09,960 Speaker 1: happens to her. That's the thing. If other people weren't 1672 01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:12,000 Speaker 1: fired for the political views, then you'd say, okay, well 1673 01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:13,760 Speaker 1: that's just the way they are. But it isn't tough 1674 01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:17,439 Speaker 1: selective justice, and it's nuts. Uh, let's switch gears here 1675 01:37:17,479 --> 01:37:19,800 Speaker 1: for a second. We're speaking of Joe Contract, media reporter 1676 01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:23,479 Speaker 1: and Commas for The Hill. Here's how the press, uh 1677 01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:28,320 Speaker 1: NBC at least speaks to Hillary Clinton nine months ago, 1678 01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:30,599 Speaker 1: and afterwards they said, they come to you and they say, 1679 01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:34,560 Speaker 1: how's your pain? Scaled? Attend how's your pain? So I 1680 01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:37,240 Speaker 1: thought let's start there after pain, how are you doing? 1681 01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:41,559 Speaker 1: Did you view it as a historic document or did 1682 01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:43,800 Speaker 1: you do with as kind of a literary version of 1683 01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,040 Speaker 1: a cleanse? For you can talk about sex as that 1684 01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:48,240 Speaker 1: I do, can talk about misogyny, and I don't have 1685 01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:50,400 Speaker 1: to tell you as a female in public life, that's 1686 01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:53,600 Speaker 1: something that a lot of female political candidates try not 1687 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:56,000 Speaker 1: to talk about when they're running for office, and yet 1688 01:37:56,080 --> 01:37:59,320 Speaker 1: here you are and you lay it out. I was thinking, 1689 01:37:59,439 --> 01:38:03,000 Speaker 1: this country did elect an African American president twice. Do 1690 01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:05,120 Speaker 1: you think it's harder for Americans to elect a woman 1691 01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:07,320 Speaker 1: than it is an African American man? Right in the 1692 01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:12,040 Speaker 1: book about trying to come to terms with this idea 1693 01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:13,679 Speaker 1: that there are a lot of people in this country 1694 01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,560 Speaker 1: who simply don't like you, not for political reasons, but 1695 01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:20,719 Speaker 1: it seems more personal reasons at this stage in your life. 1696 01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:26,160 Speaker 1: Does even having to ask yourself the question of why her? Okay? 1697 01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:29,200 Speaker 1: So we get the idea, Joe. Uh. I've seen Tougher 1698 01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:33,120 Speaker 1: interviews regularly on Bravo with the Real Housewives because Molly 1699 01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:37,360 Speaker 1: makes me watch it. Uh. I mean, I don't know 1700 01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:39,120 Speaker 1: what we even want to say about that. This is 1701 01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:42,280 Speaker 1: a therapy session being played out in broad daylight, where 1702 01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:44,800 Speaker 1: you have Hillary Clinton, who at my count is now 1703 01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:47,960 Speaker 1: blamed forty two different things or entities for losing besides 1704 01:38:48,040 --> 01:38:51,599 Speaker 1: herself talking about her feelings and why she lost an election, 1705 01:38:51,640 --> 01:38:54,320 Speaker 1: why it was robbed from her while everybody conspired against 1706 01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:57,480 Speaker 1: her to make her lose. And then instead of interviewers 1707 01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:01,519 Speaker 1: truly pushing back, saying didn't you go to Wisconsin more, 1708 01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:05,560 Speaker 1: for example? Or why didn't you campaign more than a 1709 01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:08,160 Speaker 1: couple of days a week for example? Did you think 1710 01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:09,680 Speaker 1: you had it in the bag and therefore you took 1711 01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:13,040 Speaker 1: everything for granted. I mean, you pretend he she's Trump 1712 01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:15,639 Speaker 1: for two minutes and see how that interview goes. But instead, 1713 01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:19,000 Speaker 1: now you have interviewers that are being journalists, they're being 1714 01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:22,960 Speaker 1: Dr Melfie, they're being psychiatrists trying to work her way 1715 01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:25,000 Speaker 1: through her feelings. And it's just so sad to see 1716 01:39:25,240 --> 01:39:28,599 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton acting this way in public. And I gotta 1717 01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:30,679 Speaker 1: think that most people agree with me, I would hope. 1718 01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:33,320 Speaker 1: And then the thing is bucked. People say, well, maybe 1719 01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:34,920 Speaker 1: she's just saying all these things because she wants the 1720 01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:36,599 Speaker 1: gym up sales for her books because they haven't sold 1721 01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:39,200 Speaker 1: well in the past. Yeah, she's worth a hundred billion 1722 01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:41,000 Speaker 1: dollars and the kids moved out of the house. I'm 1723 01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:43,040 Speaker 1: pretty sure she doesn't need the money. Yeah, she doesn't 1724 01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:45,360 Speaker 1: need the cash. So what is the explanation here? I mean, 1725 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:47,600 Speaker 1: I think I've been saying for a long time that 1726 01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:49,400 Speaker 1: she's somebody who has such a large and I know 1727 01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:52,320 Speaker 1: that I'm playing like pop radio psychologist here or something, 1728 01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:54,080 Speaker 1: but it's like she has a hole in her soul 1729 01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:56,639 Speaker 1: that can only be filled with acclaim and power and money. 1730 01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:58,519 Speaker 1: And now that she's never going to be president and 1731 01:39:58,600 --> 01:40:02,519 Speaker 1: she's done, she has to deal with who she is. Yeah. 1732 01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:04,160 Speaker 1: I like the fact you about up, the fact that 1733 01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:06,960 Speaker 1: you're your armchair psychologists. We've seen a lot of that 1734 01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:09,200 Speaker 1: with the President Trump lately, and you know, people talking 1735 01:40:09,320 --> 01:40:12,720 Speaker 1: at least I admitted, I admitted, though, are you're right exactly? Yeah, 1736 01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:14,920 Speaker 1: at least you say, hey, I'm not qualified whatsoever. But 1737 01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:18,120 Speaker 1: here it goes uh. And that's the thing. I mean, 1738 01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:20,080 Speaker 1: I'll play that with Hillary Clinton. I have no problem 1739 01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:21,760 Speaker 1: with that. I think there's something really wrong with her, 1740 01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:23,639 Speaker 1: I don't. I think it's if I lost an election 1741 01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:26,200 Speaker 1: like that, I wouldn't be out in public embarrassing myself 1742 01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:28,800 Speaker 1: like this, except she's not quite embarrassing herself because when 1743 01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:31,760 Speaker 1: she does these interviews, she actually looks somewhat sympathetic, I 1744 01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:34,519 Speaker 1: guess to people that probably hate Trump. So it works 1745 01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:37,599 Speaker 1: to a certain extent. But when this book tour interviews 1746 01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:39,439 Speaker 1: are over in a week or so, then she has 1747 01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:42,600 Speaker 1: to go back to an amenity basically, and what's her 1748 01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:44,960 Speaker 1: next move? She says she isn't gonna run, and but 1749 01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:46,880 Speaker 1: I have a feeling she will because I don't to 1750 01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:49,320 Speaker 1: your point, I don't think she knows any other way 1751 01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:51,840 Speaker 1: except to be in the spotlight. Yeah, that's the only 1752 01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:54,960 Speaker 1: thing that can possibly justify all of the things that 1753 01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:57,360 Speaker 1: we know of when it comes to when it comes 1754 01:40:57,400 --> 01:40:59,120 Speaker 1: to Hillary. By the way, just to give us your 1755 01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:00,840 Speaker 1: your quick thoughts, we got less than a minute, Joe. 1756 01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:03,280 Speaker 1: But the dinner tonight with Trump, what do you think? 1757 01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:07,160 Speaker 1: I think that steak will be served and ketchup will 1758 01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:09,240 Speaker 1: be there as well. That that's apparently a thing, and 1759 01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:11,040 Speaker 1: two scripts of ice cream, as we've learned from your 1760 01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:13,800 Speaker 1: former network, CNN. And I think that Trump wants to 1761 01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:15,759 Speaker 1: get deals done and he doesn't care whether it's Republicans 1762 01:41:15,800 --> 01:41:18,000 Speaker 1: who have failed him or Democrats. Will see how it 1763 01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:19,400 Speaker 1: goes with that, and I think he kind of likes 1764 01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:21,280 Speaker 1: the positive press he gets by doing things in a 1765 01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:25,240 Speaker 1: bipartisan fashion, so I think it'll probably go well. Is 1766 01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:27,120 Speaker 1: it fair to say, is it fair to say that 1767 01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:31,360 Speaker 1: Trump is actually an independent? Yeah? I think that's that's 1768 01:41:31,439 --> 01:41:33,840 Speaker 1: pretty pretty clear. There are three parties right now, Buck. 1769 01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:38,000 Speaker 1: There are Trump supporters, there are Democratic supporters, and then 1770 01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:40,679 Speaker 1: actually four then there are Bernie supporters, and then there's 1771 01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:43,120 Speaker 1: the Republican reporters, and that's the smallest base of all. 1772 01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:45,200 Speaker 1: So I think Trump's just playing to where the winning 1773 01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:47,920 Speaker 1: teams are right now. Joe Contract media reporter and commas 1774 01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:49,479 Speaker 1: for The Hill. Great to have you search check out 1775 01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:52,320 Speaker 1: his latest on the Hill dot com. Thank you, Buck, 1776 01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:56,160 Speaker 1: thank you. When it comes to freedom, my friends, I 1777 01:41:56,800 --> 01:42:02,000 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton, stand on principle, and that means once in 1778 01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:06,920 Speaker 1: a while that I have to be a defender of 1779 01:42:07,439 --> 01:42:12,639 Speaker 1: and an advocate for some stuff that you wouldn't necessarily expect. 1780 01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:17,240 Speaker 1: And in this case, the freedom Hut stands with the 1781 01:42:17,320 --> 01:42:22,000 Speaker 1: bikini hut, dammit. That's right. News story out of Washington State, 1782 01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:25,640 Speaker 1: in the town of Everett, there is an ordinance that 1783 01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:30,280 Speaker 1: has been passed that doesn't allow for what are known 1784 01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:35,439 Speaker 1: as bikini baristas. Here's what the ordinance says, that there's 1785 01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:40,639 Speaker 1: a that owners ensure that employees cover quote minimum body 1786 01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:45,800 Speaker 1: areas while on duty that includes the breasts, torso and 1787 01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:51,000 Speaker 1: the top three inches of legs below the buttocks. According 1788 01:42:51,120 --> 01:42:54,920 Speaker 1: to the ordinance, and owners that are in violation of 1789 01:42:55,080 --> 01:43:00,400 Speaker 1: this new municipally enforced dress code will be chuired to 1790 01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:04,759 Speaker 1: obtain a probationary license. And with two of these bikini 1791 01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:10,000 Speaker 1: barista violations, their whole business could be shut down. I mean, 1792 01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:13,880 Speaker 1: my friends, what is next? What is this Saudi Arabia? 1793 01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:17,360 Speaker 1: Are they gonna start lopping off hands in the public square? 1794 01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:22,599 Speaker 1: This reminds me of the beer and bikinis test. My friends, 1795 01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:25,120 Speaker 1: those of you who are relatively new in listening to 1796 01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:28,920 Speaker 1: this show, I haven't necessarily heard this in the past, 1797 01:43:29,439 --> 01:43:33,439 Speaker 1: so let me explain. It is my contention that when 1798 01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:37,599 Speaker 1: you look around the world, you see all kinds of countries, 1799 01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:40,080 Speaker 1: But here's all you really need to know. If you're 1800 01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:42,360 Speaker 1: going to live in a place, and honestly, if you're 1801 01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:44,720 Speaker 1: even going to visit a place, you want it to 1802 01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:48,720 Speaker 1: be a country where ladies are allowed to wear bikinis 1803 01:43:49,120 --> 01:43:52,120 Speaker 1: and everyone is allowed to drink beer. Now, that doesn't 1804 01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:54,960 Speaker 1: mean that I want everybody wearing bikinis, or that I'm 1805 01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:57,439 Speaker 1: trying to be some kind of a sexist here. If 1806 01:43:57,760 --> 01:44:04,479 Speaker 1: gentlemen want to wear man kini's or speedo snug bathing suits, 1807 01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:07,040 Speaker 1: that is all that that also falls under the bikini test. 1808 01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:10,320 Speaker 1: It's just a mankini instead of a bikini and beer. 1809 01:44:10,479 --> 01:44:13,160 Speaker 1: I can't even drink beer. I literally can't drink it 1810 01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:16,479 Speaker 1: as a Celiac, But it's just indicative, and it's an 1811 01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:19,519 Speaker 1: alliteration beer and bikini, so it goes well. It could 1812 01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:23,400 Speaker 1: be Scotch and bikini, could be wine and bikini, Tequila 1813 01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:27,160 Speaker 1: and bikini. Now that sounds like fun. But think about it. 1814 01:44:27,680 --> 01:44:29,800 Speaker 1: All of the greatest countries in the world at least 1815 01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:33,160 Speaker 1: allow that. You're gonna tell me that's just a coincidence 1816 01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:37,760 Speaker 1: side note or corollary not side note. All the crappiest 1817 01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:40,880 Speaker 1: countries in the world do not allow that. No beer, 1818 01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:45,120 Speaker 1: no bikinis. So I think this is an issue of 1819 01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:48,600 Speaker 1: defending civilization at some level. That's right, I'll say it. 1820 01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:51,519 Speaker 1: And there are some lawyers that have taken up the 1821 01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:55,960 Speaker 1: bikini barista's side of this argument up in Washington State 1822 01:44:56,120 --> 01:45:00,240 Speaker 1: who would tend to agree with me the play ifs 1823 01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:03,760 Speaker 1: include seven barristas, so, ladies. A barrista is a person 1824 01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:07,080 Speaker 1: who works It's a fancy name for coffee shop employee, 1825 01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:10,360 Speaker 1: who makes person who makes coffee drinks. So there are 1826 01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:12,960 Speaker 1: seven barrists and an owner of a chain of bikini 1827 01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:17,439 Speaker 1: coffee stands. They are, according to The Seattle Times, arguing 1828 01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:19,479 Speaker 1: in the suit that their right to privacy would be 1829 01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:22,600 Speaker 1: violated if officers were to inspect them to ensure that 1830 01:45:22,640 --> 01:45:26,880 Speaker 1: they were foll following the rules. Quote. The ordinances, on 1831 01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:30,880 Speaker 1: their face, violate the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, 1832 01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:35,800 Speaker 1: are unconstitutionally vague as applied, and in violation of the 1833 01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:40,880 Speaker 1: due process guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment. The ordinances also 1834 01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:44,760 Speaker 1: deprived the baristas of their Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights 1835 01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:50,400 Speaker 1: and discriminate against women, according to lawyers for the plaintiffs, Look, 1836 01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:53,519 Speaker 1: this is America, everybody, It's not Saudi Arabia. Do I 1837 01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:57,879 Speaker 1: think that young women should dress in bikinis and serve coffee? 1838 01:45:58,439 --> 01:46:01,360 Speaker 1: I played the fifth I leave that to the market, 1839 01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:04,880 Speaker 1: to the free market. But do I think that a 1840 01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:08,880 Speaker 1: city should be able to decide what the dress code is? Remember, 1841 01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:13,040 Speaker 1: they're not saying. This isn't an anti nudity. Nudity, this 1842 01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:18,839 Speaker 1: isn't an anti nudity ordinance. This is merely a function 1843 01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:22,439 Speaker 1: of trying to penalize a certain business model, which is 1844 01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:29,759 Speaker 1: women scantily clad serving coffee. If scantily uh clad people 1845 01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:34,559 Speaker 1: are going to be more effective coffee sellers. As I said, 1846 01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:37,320 Speaker 1: they should have the right to dress that way. And 1847 01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:41,200 Speaker 1: where does this stop. I have to note that if 1848 01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:43,559 Speaker 1: you can tell people they can't wear a bikini to work, 1849 01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:45,479 Speaker 1: you can also tell people they have to wear a 1850 01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:49,760 Speaker 1: burka to work. I'm just saying, I'm just saying this 1851 01:46:49,960 --> 01:46:54,720 Speaker 1: isn't about public nudity. That's a pretty straightforward issue. You're 1852 01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:56,479 Speaker 1: not allowed to be nude in some places, although I 1853 01:46:56,479 --> 01:46:59,280 Speaker 1: should note, as I found out recently in Los Angeles, 1854 01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:02,280 Speaker 1: public utity at least in terms of the top area 1855 01:47:02,439 --> 01:47:05,760 Speaker 1: of the human body is completely allowed. And in New 1856 01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:09,519 Speaker 1: York City, believe it or not, you can walk around topless. 1857 01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,599 Speaker 1: I think this is part of a push by feminist 1858 01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:15,200 Speaker 1: to say that if men can walk around topless, soakn women, 1859 01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:19,320 Speaker 1: even though anatomically there are some differences there. But I 1860 01:47:19,439 --> 01:47:22,599 Speaker 1: have in fact seen in New York City women walking 1861 01:47:22,680 --> 01:47:26,880 Speaker 1: around topless and it is completely legal. Uh. If you're bottomless, 1862 01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:30,360 Speaker 1: that would be indecent exposure, but the indecent exposure laws 1863 01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:33,599 Speaker 1: are already on the books. These bikini baristas are not naked. 1864 01:47:33,960 --> 01:47:37,240 Speaker 1: They're wearing bikinis. So if in this if you're in 1865 01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:40,920 Speaker 1: the state of Washington and you go to a beach, 1866 01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:45,160 Speaker 1: then you may find that you are wearing a bikini. 1867 01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:47,639 Speaker 1: If it's legal in public on a beach, it should 1868 01:47:47,640 --> 01:47:51,200 Speaker 1: be legal in public on a street corner. And that's 1869 01:47:51,320 --> 01:47:54,320 Speaker 1: just the way that it is. So. Uh. I should 1870 01:47:54,320 --> 01:47:56,680 Speaker 1: also note that there are people who are going to 1871 01:47:56,760 --> 01:47:59,400 Speaker 1: be affected negatively by this ordinance. I'm sure there are 1872 01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:02,680 Speaker 1: women who make quite a bit of money from their 1873 01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:06,880 Speaker 1: bikini barrista jobs because the tips are higher. We can 1874 01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:10,280 Speaker 1: try to fight biology in society, but it is an 1875 01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:14,320 Speaker 1: unfortunate reality. Sometimes it's the very fortunate reality. Depends on 1876 01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:19,360 Speaker 1: who you are, that people like pretty male and female 1877 01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:23,759 Speaker 1: people like attractive. There are entire business the whole modeling industry, 1878 01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:27,439 Speaker 1: the whole television industry, and yes, the TV news industry 1879 01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:32,360 Speaker 1: is heavily influenced by physical attraction of one kind or another. 1880 01:48:32,640 --> 01:48:35,320 Speaker 1: So let's not pretend that that's not something that's allowed 1881 01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:39,200 Speaker 1: to enter into the marketplace. So, as I was saying, 1882 01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:42,240 Speaker 1: the beer in Bikini's Test, I'm glad we've established that 1883 01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:44,720 Speaker 1: because that will be coming up more on the show 1884 01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:48,200 Speaker 1: in the future.
