1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Paul Menaphort gets piled

2
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: on by Democrats in prosecutors' offices who are deciding to

3
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: make an example of him. Guy's gone away for over

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: seven years. Now. We've got the latest on that for you.

5
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: Plus this continuing to unravel scandal around college admissions. What

6
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: really went on here? Should people be facing decades in

7
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: federal prison? And also Trump has grounded all Boeing seven

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: thirty seven Max eight flights. We've got a stack show

9
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: team coming up. This is the Buck Sexton Show where

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: the mission where mission is to decode what really matters

11
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American. Ready, you're a

12
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: great American? Again the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a

13
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: great guy. No, Well, Manafort caught a break today. He

14
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: defied the law, He tampered with witnesses, he lied to prosecutors,

15
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: he laundered money, evaded taxes, and he left with a

16
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: sentence that, in many respects fails to measure the severity

17
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: of how he defied the justice system. Welcome to the

18
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,919
Speaker 1: Buck Sex and Show. Democrats are a bunch of disgraceful,

19
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: crazy liars these days. We know this. Blumenthal an exemplar

20
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: of this didn't get a severe enough sentence. The guy

21
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: Manafort is going away. He's seventy years old. He's going

22
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: away for seven and a half years in federal prison.

23
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: All right, Today we had a Obama appointee judge who

24
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: is very harsh Sean Manafort said that she did not

25
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: believe that he's contrite. He's only being contrite because he's caught.

26
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Let me just say that I have friends who are judges.

27
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: I know some judges. They can pretty much say that

28
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: to anybody. You know. The whole point is, you show

29
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: up in court and show contrition. You could take thee well,

30
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: you're only contrite because you're caught by the time they're

31
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: in the court. Of course that's the case, right of

32
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: course being caught as a part of this. But they

33
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: didn't turn themselves in. Usually sometimes they do. So this

34
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: is exactly what I expected to happen. And there's a

35
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: lot here that we should pay attention to. HI mean,

36
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: for one, Paul Manaford is getting crushed because he worked

37
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: for Trump. Let's understand that not only would he not

38
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: be facing the financial and personal ruination that he has

39
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: been subjected to, they are making it even worse because

40
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: they want him to be an example. On the one hand,

41
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: they're feeding him to the rabid maniacs of anti Trump

42
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: hashtag resistance land. That's one part of this. And on

43
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: the other hand, they also want to send a message

44
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: to anybody else who would ever even consider working for Trump,

45
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: standing up for Trump, being aligned with him going into

46
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, that if they can find a way, if

47
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: they can create the pretext for it, they will ruin

48
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: your life. That's why it's so important to them that Maniford,

49
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: who they went through everything, He has a special counsel,

50
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: numerous prosecutor's offices. This guy's as high profile a target

51
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: as that you're going to find in the justices m

52
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if you ask somebody, this should tell you

53
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: a lot. If you ask somebody in the DOJ hierarchy,

54
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: would you rather be prosecuting the Manifort case or Chapo Guzman,

55
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: I bet a lot of the what it said, Oh yeah,

56
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: I'll take Manaphort much much bigger win for their career

57
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: than putting away the biggest drug dealer. I mean, Chopo

58
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: is not just a drug dealer. He's a human trafficker,

59
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: a mass murderer, a. I mean, just go down the

60
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: list of crimes. A drug dealer. Obviously, Paul Manaford is

61
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: a tax cheat. And I also think that we always

62
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: should be careful thinking that tax cheats should be punished

63
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: in the most severe fashion by the state. When a

64
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: lot of countries developed countries, we're always here. But I'll

65
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: look at the great healthcare they have. And you know Sweden,

66
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: people don't go to prison usually for tax fraud in Europe.

67
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: Just say it. You know what happens when you don't

68
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: pay your taxes in Europe, they seize your funds and

69
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: they make you pay big fines and they financially punish you.

70
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: Usually you don't go to prison for a long time.

71
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 1: That's a uniquely American statist thing for the free world,

72
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: you know. That's that's somewhere that I think we need.

73
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: We have some work to do. And I hear these

74
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: people who say, oh, Mana for it is rich and

75
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: his white privilege, and that's why he's not going to

76
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: jail for that long. He's going to jail for seven

77
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: and a half years. Think about everyone, listens, think about

78
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: where you were seven and a half years ago, what

79
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: everything's happened between now, and then it's a lot of stuff.

80
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: It's a long long time. As if that were not enough,

81
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: new York State came along and has now charged him

82
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: with sixteen crimes. That's right, sixteen crimes from New York

83
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: based on a mortgage fraud. And this is from the

84
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vans, another Democrat, another lib. You know,

85
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: it starts. It starts to feel like maybe, if you're

86
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: a Republican, you got to move to a red state

87
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: just so you don't get if you're going to be

88
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: a prominent person who's in public life, just so you

89
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: don't get some lib prosecutor who wants to make a

90
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: name for himself coming after you. So why is it

91
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: so noteworthy that one they timed this thing out the

92
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: same day that the second federal criminal trial ends with

93
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: the judge giving Manafort his sentence. As if one federal

94
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: criminal trial wasn't enough. Now, the state of or well

95
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: New York City, actually it's the Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus

96
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: Vans that he is bringing these charges. Well, it's the

97
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: Manhattan dis attorney for the state of New York. He

98
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: will bring these charges against Manafort. Is just indicative of

99
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 1: how much. This is political because, as you know, Trump

100
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: cannot pardon. Trump cannot pardon Manafort from New York crimes.

101
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: So even if Trump were to say, on the president,

102
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: this is too much. Manafort's bankrupted and ruined. He's seventy

103
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: years old. The guy just wants to be with his wife.

104
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to pardon him. New York is going to

105
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: make sure he goes to prison now for mortgage fraud,

106
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: which I mean, I can tell you having been a

107
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: been in a room where there was in a discussion

108
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: about whether somebody should be charged with mortgage fraud who

109
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: was a semi literate at best immigrant who didn't really

110
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: know what he was doing was wrong. It was pretty

111
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: clear definitely committed mortgage fraud. And this was when we

112
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: found this out in the course of another investigation I

113
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: was involved in, and I put my foot down and

114
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: was like the and he, by the way, he was

115
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: a he was a non white defendant. Okay, So just

116
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: this whole thing about oh, people only care when the

117
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: when the rich white people go to prison, that's not true.

118
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: I was working in law enforcement at the time, and

119
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: this guy was definitely not white and uh not even

120
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: American really, Um, he was he was here. Well, I

121
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: gotta remember his immigration status, but anyway, it wasn't from

122
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: this country originally, and they wanted to put him away,

123
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: and I just said, I'm sorry. The bank hasn't lost

124
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: any money. All the payments have been made, everyone has

125
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: been made whole here. So the bank was he was

126
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: a slightly riskier loan that the bank anticipated, we're really

127
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: gonna send. We're really going to separate this guy from

128
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: I think he had six or seven children. We're really

129
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: going to separate him from his wife and all his

130
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: kids because of this. Now, you can say buck the

131
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: law as the law, but as we know, this is

132
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: the problem. The law isn't the law in this country anymore.

133
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: It's certainly not the case on immigration, certainly not the

134
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: case that our southern border, and it's not even the

135
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: case when it comes to the Espionage Act. We have

136
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: a two tiered justice system in this country. And it's

137
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: not as much as as much as the left pretends.

138
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: It's not just the rich and the poor. It's not

139
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: a financial separation, there's a political separation. The left is

140
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: willing to use the law for explicitly political means in

141
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: a way that we on the right are just not

142
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: willing to do We just don't do it. It's not

143
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: in our makeup, it's not in our DNA, it's not

144
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: in our ethos to view the Department of Justice and prosecutors'

145
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: offices as weapons of politics or as implements of policy

146
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: the same way that the left does. So that's why

147
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: you have Nanifort now getting just the count of countless

148
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: counts thrown against him, and they're coming at him with

149
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: everything they have. He's a ruined man no matter what.

150
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: There's so much glee in the media. People are saying

151
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: that he didn't get enough time. I mean, he's sitting

152
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: US Center, Bloomenthal in bluementhal is an imbecile, but saying

153
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: he didn't get enough time, what would be enough time?

154
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Should you go away for twenty years? Blue, you know

155
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: denang Dick. Should he go away for twenty years? Really

156
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: for what he's paid, people will say, oh, Bucky chief

157
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 1: of the fellow government, Yeah, they got him. Guess what

158
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: he's paying twenty five million dollars in fines, So all

159
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: the money that he didn't pay to the government, plus

160
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: huge fines on top that, So the government's been made

161
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: whole the financial crime has been wiped away in the

162
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: sense that you know, there's there's the treasury got their dollars,

163
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: and we know the treasury always gets their dollars. So

164
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: who's the victim here? Why should this guy go away

165
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: for so long? You know, a year or two in

166
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: a minimum security thing. Yeah, that sounds about right to me.

167
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: Maybe three, maybe seven and a half plus New York

168
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: state charges on top of it. Come on, folks, this

169
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: is appalling. This is appalling. And for all those who

170
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: are saying, and this is another common thing you're hearing

171
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: from the left wing media, Oh, man of Fort, he's

172
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: only getting he's getting off light because he's rich and white.

173
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: And look at all the drug sentences out there. Let's

174
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: be clear that when people are dealing drugs and they

175
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: plead to any kind of a distribution charge, usually usually

176
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: there are other charges that they did not plead to.

177
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: It's just that the distribution and possession charges are the

178
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: most easy to prove in federal court. So that's what

179
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: that's what they go with. But there's often they're often

180
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: part of violent, violent drug gangs. There are people who

181
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: have carried weapons while they were selling drugs, which is

182
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: an additional felony. On top of that, there are people

183
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: that have engaged in violence to protect their turf, but

184
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: they can't prove it. And also, if you're talking about

185
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: any kind of opioid sales, they're putting lives at risk.

186
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: They're killing people. I mean, if you're selling opioids to

187
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: people who are addicts and they're overdosing, you're guilty of homicide.

188
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: So all that's, oh, it's just non violent drug rames.

189
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta walk that back sometimes because I'm

190
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: sympathetic to the Hey, people shouldn't go away. You know.

191
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: For marijuana, it's legal in some states, you know, but

192
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: different substances are different things. You know, if I sell

193
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: somebody at caffeine pill, that's not the same as selling

194
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: them fentyyl. And if you're illegally selling fentyyl, then guess what,

195
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: you were putting lives at risk. You might even be

196
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: taking lives. So yeah, you should get a really serious sentence.

197
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: So this whole oh, non violent, non violent crimes, and

198
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: the way they're prosecuted for drugs versus white collar crimes.

199
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: Nobody overdoses because Manaford doesn't pay his taxes. So let's

200
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: let's try to line these things up and be honest

201
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: about what's really going on here. And there's just another

202
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: part of me too that I always try. I try

203
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: to have some feelings, instincts ideas that are beyond politics,

204
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: and that place of basic sympathy for a fellow American

205
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: is one of them. I feel badly for people who

206
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: have their lives ruined and are going to prison who

207
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: have not done heinous things to be there. Paul Manafort

208
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: has not done anything heinous and awful to go to prison.

209
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's not a criminal. I'm not saying

210
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: he doesn't deserve to pay a price. I'm just saying

211
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: he's not a terrible person, all right. He's not some awful,

212
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: dangerous human being. He's got a wife, he's got family too,

213
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: And even if people think that it's justice for him

214
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: to go to prison, as I do, I do think

215
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: it is just that he serves. Sometime. I don't take

216
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: any joy in it, and I don't take any joy

217
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: in the ruination of people as a general matter. I

218
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: think there's something really sick and wrong with those who

219
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: are cheering for the destruction of individuals and for their

220
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: families along with them, and the left wing media and

221
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. It has become completely acceptable on the

222
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: left to be rooting for members of Donald Trump's family

223
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: to be prosecuted and sent to prison, to be rooting

224
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: for people in Trump's inner circle like Maniford and others

225
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: to be destroyed and sent to prison. This is disgusting.

226
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: This is a disgrace. And especially because they don't even

227
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: know what crime may or may not have been committed,

228
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: they just want them destroyed. And they have no decency

229
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: about this, no interest in mercy or grace or kindness.

230
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: The Democrats, it's always so interesting to me. They think

231
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: of themselves as the good, nice people because they have

232
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: the policies that gives the poor people free stuff. But

233
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: they conduct themselves in the political wars that are going

234
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: on in this country right now as utter savages who

235
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: run around bayonetting all the survivors all the time. I mean,

236
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: they just don't care. And you see this with the

237
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: glee that the imprisonment of a seventy year old man

238
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: for almost a decade, who's not you know, he's going

239
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: to be separated from his wife and his family probably

240
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: will die in prison. Do they sleep better at night

241
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: now because of this? Democrats feel like this is such

242
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: a great thing. There's no collusion proven. He's not a trader.

243
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: People call him a traitor, I say, based on what

244
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: they didn't even know what he was doing lobbying in Ukraine,

245
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: not in Russia, by the way, and was always trying

246
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: to get the Ukrainian oligarch that he was working with

247
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: and politicians to go in a more pro Western, pro

248
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: American direction. So there's actually an argument you made that

249
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: Manafort was useful to American ford policy interests, believe it

250
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: or not. But he cheated on his taxes, but they're

251
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: not mad about that. They don't care. What about how

252
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: sharp did in his taxes? Everybody, even you want to

253
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: play this game, how many MSNBC hosts owe some back taxes.

254
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: But Maniford is tied to Trump, and anyone tied to

255
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: Trump must be destroyed. And anyone who is destroyed, who

256
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: is tied to Trump, that's a good thing to be celebrated.

257
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: That's how the left thinks of things, because their souls

258
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: have been corrupted by their hatred of this administration and

259
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: the brainwashing of the media, and it is both sad

260
00:15:52,520 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: and destructive. We'll be right back. So as a parent,

261
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: How much sympathy would you have for these parents who

262
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: are embroiled in this alleged cheating scandal. Zero zero? Okay,

263
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: that was Elizabeth Warren in case you didn't know, a

264
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: lot of people find it kind of rich that Elizabeth Warren,

265
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Cherokee as she usually describe herself, has no sympathy for

266
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: parents who are trying to get their kids into these

267
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: elite schools. You know, this is one of these stories,

268
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: my friends, that is getting the attention of all kinds

269
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: of folks because there's lots of different ways to approach

270
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: it and look at it. But this recurring theme that

271
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: we have here in the Freedom Hunt of how the

272
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: elites aren't nearly as exceptional as they think they are,

273
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: and how that creates insecurities among them and we see

274
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: them now more for what they are than at any

275
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: other point in our history. The elite schools cheating scandal

276
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: ties into all of that, because what is the first

277
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: thing that people will fall back on. Who are the

278
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: ones running things in this country? You know, the ones

279
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: who are at the top of the power pyramid in

280
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: this country. What's the one thing that's supposed to be

281
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: there their symbol of meritocratic excellence at the one place

282
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: where they they've they've earned it. Not with everybody, right,

283
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: but usually it will be their school. What school did

284
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: you go to? And this is a pretty recent phenomenon

285
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: where that's now a part of your identity. Mean, I

286
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: have to laugh. I see people that go to the

287
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: gym where I am in DC still and you know,

288
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: they're they're in their forties, they're in their fifties, and

289
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: they're still wearing And I see the same folks over

290
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: and over. They're still wearing all their their college gear.

291
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: And you know, look, if you went through Ohio State

292
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: and you want to rep Ohio State, that's great. But

293
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: there's some people that show up with their Harvard Business

294
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: School T shirt a little too often. You know, it's

295
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: like I think you own other t shirts. People really

296
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: take a lot of personal value from this experience. And

297
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: the thing is they don't care if they how they

298
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: got there. They just like the perception. There's a tremendous

299
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: amount of ego and vanity that plays into this whole

300
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: school game and the arms race around it that pushes

301
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: people to do all these crazy things to try to

302
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: get into these schools. And I think this is a

303
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: good thing for us to really pull apart and look

304
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: at and what does it tell us not just about

305
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: the nature of the academy in this country and how

306
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: corrupted it is, but also are the elites really as

307
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: elite as they pretend to be? That's coming up. This

308
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: plays into a deep worry that the American people have,

309
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: and I share that worry, you know, and we see

310
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: it in politics. This was appealed to by Donald Trump

311
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: and Bernie Sanders. You know, is the system rigg? Do

312
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: you remember when Donald Trump said is the system rigged?

313
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders asked the same question. Turned out in this

314
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: case it was right, and people believe that America's about

315
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: equal opportunity. Of course, this system is rigged. Is this

316
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: news to anybody that the education system in this country,

317
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: at the elite institutions is rigged. It's a precious commodity.

318
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: It's a credentialing system. It's not really intellectual and certainly

319
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: not ethical. Training for the next generation elite schools, and

320
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: the crush to get into them is all about gaming

321
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: the system, influence, finding your way because just being the

322
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: best in your class, just being a straight a student

323
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: and a really good guy or gal that everyone, you know,

324
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 1: class president all that. That doesn't cut into a lot

325
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: of these places. I mean, you'll get in somewhere. You're

326
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: not gonna get into your dream school necessarily. There's too many,

327
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: too many high school too many students. And you're talking

328
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: about that really upper echelon of the top fifty schools

329
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: in the country, maybe the top one hundred, and how

330
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: many millions of college students matriculate every year. I just

331
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: think it's funny this. Oh my gosh, you mean that

332
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: you mean to tell me that people are cheating to

333
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: get into college. Of course they are. Now I'm not

334
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: saying it's okay. What's so interesting is when I try

335
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: to get into the different aspects of this, I get

336
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: a lot of heat from people, especially out on the

337
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: Twitter sphere, and I'm saying, you know, do we really

338
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: need people to treat this as a federal RICO investigation?

339
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: You know, this is racketeering, you know, And there are

340
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: some interesting parallels to be drawn between what the Advancement

341
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: Office does, which is give us a check, and what

342
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: was going on here, which is give the coach for

343
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: this team a check. And there was a great analysis

344
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Today by a guy named Matt Levine that

345
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: I think really explains this, and I think this is

346
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: a unique take on this because he understands the insider trading.

347
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: Insider trading law now just a real quick overview of that.

348
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: You you cannot trade on non public information. That and

349
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: people always think, well, that means you can't use information

350
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: other people don't have. That's not true. People trade on

351
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: information advantage all the time. It's not about fairness material

352
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: non public information that violates a fiduciary duty you have

353
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: or that someone has. That's where insider trading comes in.

354
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: So if you're the officer of a company and you

355
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: have a fiduciary duty to that company, you can't act

356
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: on that information, and you can't give that information to

357
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: someone else to act on, nor can they act on it.

358
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: But it's not just that. It's not about what's fair,

359
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: as this guy talks about it. It's not about what's fair.

360
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: The stock market's unfair all the time. People have all

361
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: kinds of advantages that are built in faster trading desks,

362
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: faster execution on their orders, and by the In the

363
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: same way, the college admissions process is not fair. You

364
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: got you got minorities who get a huge advantage depending

365
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: on what n not Asians, but blacks in Hispanic's huge

366
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: advantage in the application brought just a fact. People get

367
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: so uncomfortable you say, that's just a fact, you know,

368
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, we're not supposed to talk

369
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: about this. Interestingly. Definitely know Muslim students don't have a

370
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: big advantage when they apply. I always think that's, you know,

371
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: so you can be a Middle Eastern, you know, Arab

372
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: Muslim and that doesn't really help you to get into school.

373
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: But if you are Native American, huge help to get

374
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: into school. If you're a Black, huge help to get

375
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: into school, same thing if you are Latino Hispanic. But

376
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: the problem, you know, so they are all these different ways.

377
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: And yeah there's legacy. But as i've legacy is not

378
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: what people think. It's not the surefire thing that people

379
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: think it is because there's too many people with kids

380
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: that graduating from these schools, so legacies and up just

381
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: competing against each other. For those who really want to know,

382
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: I have friends who have worked in college admissions, and

383
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: I've talked to them extensively about this, and they've worked

384
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: at elite places Columbia University, Amherst College places that I know,

385
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: you're competing always against buckets, meaning that you know, if

386
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: you're a white middle class kid from Indiana, you're competing

387
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: against other white middle class kids from the mid West.

388
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: If you are a Latino, you know, musician from inner

389
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: city Los Angeles, you're competing against other Latinos from the

390
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: West Coast, maybe who play an instrument. I mean, they

391
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: really look at you in buckets. I mean that's really

392
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: your competition. You're not competing against the whole class. Men

393
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: compete against men, women against women, although now that's probably

394
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: gotten more complicated because what do they identify as? But

395
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: they look at this as pulling together this diverse group,

396
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: So you're competing against your own identity group within the

397
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: diversity pool. But this Bloomberg analysis says that the real

398
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: way that these people went wrong with this massive and

399
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: it is it's amazing to read about this stuff. And

400
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: people were They were clearly very desperate to get into

401
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: schools that aren't exactly going to set you up for

402
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: life either, which I find very strange. There must be

403
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: such an anxiety among these parents, don't I don't like

404
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: to be somebody who's acts like a school snob or anything.

405
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: But you know, if you're going to a second or

406
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: third tier UC school, University California school, you shouldn't have

407
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: if you have to cheat to get in there, you

408
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: should really think long and hard about whether you should

409
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: be going to a four year college at all. But

410
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: the problem that you had here with these people is

411
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: that they they paid off the wrong person. And that's

412
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: what this Bloomberg analysis said today. You have all these people,

413
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: this guy Ricks well sorry, yeah, William Rick Singer who

414
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: bribed SAT and exam administrators. I mean that is just

415
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: that is just cheating the system. That's not a close call.

416
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: Bribe coaches and administrators to use their admission skills to

417
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: get people in, or their their admission clout to get

418
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: people in. Operation Varsity Blues, which is a pretty watchable

419
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: but terrible movie at the same time. I gotta say

420
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: Varsity Blues, those of you who haven't seen it, it's

421
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: Ali Larder's finest work. See some of you know who

422
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: Ali Larders, you'll know it from Varsity Blues. But the

423
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: problem is they paid off the wrong people. You're not

424
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: supposed to pay off the coach. You're supposed to pay

425
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 1: off the advancement office and what this really is at

426
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: the universities treat these slots as a valuable thing. This

427
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: is their property. This is a thing of value. So

428
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: if you're going to game the system, you have to

429
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: gain the system the way that they tell you to.

430
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: You know, this is like you know, the air lines

431
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: get to determine the first class seats cost twice as much,

432
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: sometimes more than that as an economy seat, and it's

433
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: not okay for you to just go and take one

434
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: of those first class seats. You have to pay the

435
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: price they want you to pay, even if no one

436
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: else is going to sit in it. It's their property.

437
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: You have to pay the price they want you to pay.

438
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: And that's fundamentally I think why this is being treated

439
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: this way. And then on top of that, there's fake

440
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: foundation payments, there's money laundering, there's you know, wire frauds.

441
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean, people were trying to hide all this stuff too.

442
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: And really the cover up stuff for the payoffs is

443
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: going to end up being worse I think criminally for

444
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: these people than the original payoffs. But got more on

445
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: this in a minute. Team stay with me. That person

446
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: thirty years from now is gonna be running some hedge

447
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: fund right, and maybe raping and pillaging in the economy,

448
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: running some nursing home, levering it up with debt. People

449
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: are going to die a little bit overdose, a little

450
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: bit on the pay meting whatever. Really nice conversation without

451
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: talking about Donald Trump. I don't know why. In fact, exactly,

452
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: I just got to say, America need to wake up.

453
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: This is not the first thing our president essentially got where.

454
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: He got through doing many of the similar things with

455
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: taxes in his own in the White House. See the

456
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: cheating scandal at MSNBC. It's it's it's always an opportunity

457
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: to do a little virtue signaling talk, a little social

458
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: justice act. Like the only problem in this country is

459
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: that the rich people force everybody else to do all

460
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: these bad things. They give them cancer, they take their homes,

461
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: they do all these terrible things. I meanwhile, everyone at

462
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: that table that was talking there at MSNBC, they're all rich.

463
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: Isn't that It's not so weird how that happens. See

464
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: you'll get a table of people, you know, Joe Scarborough

465
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: with his big swoop of hair. The swoop, the Scarborough

466
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: swoop does not compared to the sex and swoop. Okay,

467
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: mine is like normal. His is you know, let's try

468
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: and way too hard. And then you get Mika and

469
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: you have a Jared artists and they're all sitting are

470
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: these people were all very wealthy, multi multi multi millionaires,

471
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: the Mika Joe you know Joe Mika situation. They're probably

472
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: worth tens of millions of dollars between the two of them,

473
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: but they're Oh, they hate people with more. That's one

474
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: of the things about the rich left, but not the

475
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: super rich left, is that they are always antagonistic toward

476
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: people that have more than they do. And you know,

477
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: this is just what you can expect, is that they

478
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: use this as an opportunity to try and slam on

479
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: those that they don't like. And they don't like anybody

480
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: who has access in privilege and power who's not a liberal.

481
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: You know, you know, if you're a liberal and you

482
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: have those things, you get it, you get a pass.

483
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: But this this turns into a whole white privilege thing

484
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: for the left, the whole college cheating admission scandal. And

485
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: if you look at the names of many of the

486
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: people involved on this, they're they're not white. Based on

487
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: the names of some of the people in the indictment,

488
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: so some of them have foreign names. So it's not

489
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: entirely a white privilege thing. It's a it's a wealth privilege,

490
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: and wealth is a privilege. That is true. People who

491
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: are wealthy are very, very lucky. But the left is

492
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: just they're un serious when they talk about the issue

493
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: of college admissions. You know, they love a firmative action,

494
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: but we can't talk about a firmative action, but they

495
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: pretend to hate legacy admissions. Meanwhile, I mean, you look

496
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: at the people you know in the media. Your favorite

497
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: CNN News anchor Jake Kapper, guess where his dad went

498
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: to school? Darboth, Oh you mean he was a legacy

499
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: to his school. Wow, I guess he just picked the

500
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: right one. There, You got lucky picking the one school's

501
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: dad went to, right. I mean, you look at a

502
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: lot of people in the media and their legacies themselves.

503
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: But then they go on TV and say, well, I'm

504
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm so opposed to legacy admissions because you know, they

505
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: got theirs, and now they want to act like they're

506
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: too good for that. One of the favorite games I

507
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: see is people that are that are going on TV

508
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: and saying, you know, well, I went to a fancy school,

509
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: but I didn't need to to be as successful as

510
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: I am before seeing me say buck, you say that, no, no,

511
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: no, no no no. What I say is that people should

512
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: work for a year or two before they go to school.

513
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: And I wish I had done that, because I would

514
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: have even made better use of the college that I

515
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: went to and the very, yes, the very real privilege

516
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: that I had a going to a place that opened

517
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: some doors, not that many doors. Not really, it wasn't

518
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: as useful as I had hoped. That would be Stephanie

519
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: rule over at MSNBC. She's okay with cheating, by the way,

520
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: as long as you do it the right way. This

521
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: was interesting play eight. Anybody who actually works in the

522
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: university will tell you this doesn't shot them entirely. We

523
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: have seen this before. What makes this so egregious is

524
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: that they didn't attempt to rig the system later. Most

525
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: parents have their kids apply and if they don't get in.

526
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: That's where you mentioned the check. The fact that you

527
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: were trying to ride people up front, the chat, the

528
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: fact that you're willing to break so many laws to

529
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: do so. That's where the real issue. And here's the

530
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: stupidity they could have rigged the system ahead of time.

531
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: When their kid is in the seventh grade, they can

532
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: meet with the development officer and a million dollars to

533
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: make your kid good at fencing. These people aren't even

534
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that she was correct there. You

535
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: can meet with a development officer early on and by,

536
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: and this is known. I know people whose families have

537
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: done this. The other guy who's saying they waited too late,

538
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what he's talking about. That's not how

539
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: this system works. But why is everyone so obsessed with

540
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: this college system? And of course the media, because you

541
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: get a lot of people in media that you know,

542
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: they were literally people. Look, there are people that have

543
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: a somewhat similar background to me and that they went

544
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: to a school that's considered elited mission and they didn't

545
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: want to go necessarily into Wall Street or into business,

546
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: and so what do they do. They go into the media,

547
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: and the only credential that many of them have to

548
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: rest their hat on is wherever they went to undergrad

549
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: And nobody really cares. But everyone still has this fixation

550
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: on where they went to undergrad, especially on the East

551
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: and the West coast. Most in the major cities and

552
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: you think, why would somebody who's so wealthy. You know,

553
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot of interesting layers here,

554
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: but why would someone who's so wealthy care so much

555
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: about his or her kid going to an Ivy League school.

556
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: If you're that rich, the doors are going to be

557
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: wide open. There's lots of connections. You know, you don't

558
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: have to go to an Ivy League school in order

559
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: to have connections and access. It just is helpful. But

560
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: if you're really rich, you can just buy the access

561
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: you need. Ah. But you see, there's also a need

562
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: for the people who have been given everything, who have

563
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: not had to fight for it, who have had the

564
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: doors wide open for them all along. They have to

565
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: feel like they have their respect of other people. And

566
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: that's somehow they've earned it. And this is why Al

567
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: Gore and George Bush and just go down the list

568
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: of a lot of different politicians as you can think,

569
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: for example, from very wealthy families that Kennedy's, you know,

570
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: all Kennedy's. You know, you get to go if you're Kennedy,

571
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 1: you get to go to Harvard. You know, if you're

572
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: a Bush, you get to go to Yale. You know,

573
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: if you're in Obama. You get to go to where

574
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: the Obama daughters are. They already in school or they

575
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: at Stanford. I forget where they are, but you know,

576
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: you get to go to these places. Why does it

577
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: matter so much to the very rich and very powerful

578
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: that their children go to these institutions when the truth

579
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: is that they don't need to. The reason is because

580
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: of ego, ego for the parents that they've managed to

581
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: get them into one of these elite institutions, but also

582
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: the ego of the individual that they want everyone else

583
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: to believe, believe that they have earned their privileged position

584
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: later in life. I know plenty of Trustafarians. You know,

585
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: somebody who grew up in New York City, Trustafarians who

586
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: went to fancy schools and have done nothing with themselves.

587
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: But they like that when they're socializing with their fellow elites,

588
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: going to a job that maybe is at a fancy

589
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: play but they don't have to work very hard at

590
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: they can say, well, you know, I went to Brown. Brown,

591
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: by the way, as a huge offender on this list.

592
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: That's right, Brown University. I'm calling you out. You know

593
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: they went to Brown, or they went to you know,

594
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: the University of Pennsylvania or you know, you name it,

595
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: and everyone's supposed to think, ooh, well, you know you

596
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: must be one of the good smart people because you

597
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: went there. And it's not because your parents were super rich.

598
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: It's it's all personal branding. That's what drives so much

599
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: of this, Especially for the ultra wealthy. You go to

600
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: these schools because it adds a layer of you've earned it,

601
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: even though everyone knows you haven't. For the kids where

602
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 1: the libraries are donating everything else. What the social justice

603
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 1: left doesn't want to talk about is that the overwhelming

604
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: number of kids in these elite schools come from the

605
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: top ten percent of income earners, which doesn't make you

606
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: rich but obviously makes you not poor. And they're all

607
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: fighting it out with each other, and there's so much

608
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: more excellence in that upper middle class range. Then these

609
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: schools can take academically that it's a total dog fight.

610
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: You know, if you're in that category of somebody whose

611
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: family makes one hundred and fifty to five hundred thousand

612
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 1: dollars a year, for example, and you know that's your

613
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: household income, guess what you're fighting it out with every

614
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: other kid from across the country who comes from a

615
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: family with which is a family of means. It's a

616
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: well off family, of course, but you're not donating a

617
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: building to get in. And most of those kids are

618
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: also the legacy kids, and the legacy kids tend to

619
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: have very similar SAT scores to the overall admits. It's

620
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: just legacy is what gives you a leg up on

621
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: other kids that you're competing with of similar backgrounds. That's

622
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: how these processes really work. I know everyone's gonna act like, oh,

623
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: it's just all the rich kids and it's all white privilege,

624
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: and Nope, that's not what's going on. But the left

625
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: isn't interested in the truth. Don't you love it when

626
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: you find a one hundred dollar bill inside of a

627
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: jacket you haven't used for ages, it feels great. Well,

628
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: imagine finding hundreds of dollars in the papers that are

629
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: sitting in your filing cab at desk or the boxes

630
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: in your attic. You know, from that four oh one

631
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: K that you had in the job before last, the

632
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: one you forgot about. That money is sitting there gathering

633
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: financial dust, But it could be working much harder for you.

647
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: I think the judge should that she is incredibly hostile

648
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: towards mister Mantiford and exhibited a level of callousness that

649
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: I've not seen in a white collar case in over

650
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 1: fifteen years of That was Manaford attorney Kevin Downing saying

651
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: that Judge Amy Berman Jackson and Obama appointee, just saying

652
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: was very hostile to his client. Well, what is the

653
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: truth of this? What should we make of all these

654
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: things coming together? Today? The state charges from New York

655
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: the second set of federal charges. Here in DC, we

656
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: got the man with all the answers and the man

657
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: with the plan himself. Mister Andy McCarthy joins us now.

658
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: He is former federal prosecutor decades in the Southern Distuct

659
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: of New York. Also, he is a Fox News contributor

660
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: and a editor at National Review. Andy, great to have you,

661
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: but great to be with you. All right, so let's

662
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: start with this, Andy, Is the stuff happening to Manafort fair?

663
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: As in? Is this what would happen if he were not?

664
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we have one federal criminal trial, another federal

665
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: criminal trial, and now a set of charges from New

666
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: York State. What do you make of this? Well? I

667
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: you know, I think some of it buck is nakedly political,

668
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: some of it is terribly unfair, and some of it

669
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: happened because mantaphor it's a bad guy, and you know,

670
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: it's not always easy to sort all that out. But

671
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: I think, if you know, the cosmic justice question is

672
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: would he ever have been prosecuted if he didn't join

673
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign? And I think the answer to that

674
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: is no. That's what got him on their radar. You know,

675
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: I heard people say, today, while they were looking at

676
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: him before the Trump campaign stuff happened. And my answer

677
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: to that is, you know, he was doing stuff in

678
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: Ukraine since two thousand and four, and they did look

679
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: at him, and nobody ever prosecuted him, and we had

680
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: I think I looked into this recently. I think there

681
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: was a grand total of six Foreign Agent Registry Act

682
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: violations that were prosecuted the last half center. I'm not

683
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: half century, yeah, half century, the less fifty years, and

684
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: only three of them I think ended up in actual

685
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: charges of FARA violations. So I think, you know, if

686
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 1: Mantafort's argument is a no one would have ever prosecuted

687
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: me if I didn't come on their radar course of

688
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: Trump and be they changed the rules in the middle

689
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: of the game because they didn't used to prosecute what

690
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: I did and now they do. I think he's got

691
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: a very good argument. On the other hand, the case

692
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: was built on tax fraud, money laundering fraud, and you know,

693
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: witness tampering which he ultimately agreed to, and some bank fraud.

694
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is those are crimes,

695
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: and you know, if they if they are investigated and

696
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: it turns out you committed them, then you know, they

697
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: get prosecuted, and maybe you came on the government's radar

698
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: screen by something that was politicized. But you know, if

699
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: you commit millions of dollars of fraud, however, you get

700
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: on their radar screen, it's hard to feel too terrible

701
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: for you. And look, I think I've thought along Anny

702
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: that it strikes me as as some as pretty it's

703
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: fair that he's going to do some prison time. I mean,

704
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: I and it's I think it's also clear to your

705
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: point that he did break the law. And you know,

706
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: it's one thing. You know, if a guy is like

707
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 1: Shade and his taxes a little bit and he owes

708
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: the irs fifteen grand, you know, you're tell them to

709
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: pay the fifteen grand, you know, the irs. I think

710
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: it was what was it six it was millions, I

711
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: mean a six million or ten million, it was a

712
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: it's a large sum of money. Yeah, you know you

713
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: got to pay a higher price for that, obviously, you know,

714
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: deterrence prosecution of nothing else. But but you know, what

715
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: I want to know is how do we explain New

716
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: York State charges? I mean, it seems like to the

717
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: point about what's nakedly political here that to me seems

718
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: like they're just throwing that on top. They're they're doing

719
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 1: a pylon here, so that there's no hope that mana

720
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: for it. Even if Trump did commute or pardon him,

721
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't go to prison. Yet Now, I think, I think

722
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right that that is completely political. Unfortunately, we

723
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: New Yorkers are living in a one party state where

724
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: it's very political, and they don't mind it being political

725
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: as long as the you know, the people on the

726
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: wrong end of the sort of the the Republicans. So

727
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, what you hope is going to stop sinister

728
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: prosecutors from doing stuff like this, is that the political

729
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: blowback of nakedly using the political or using the prosecutorial

730
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: power for political reasons is something that most people don't

731
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: like and find frightening. I wonder if you know, the

732
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: state that gave us Alexandria Ocasio Cortez will ever see

733
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: it that way. On the other hand, there's always another

734
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: handbuck um for for manaforts purposes. I remember when I

735
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: was a prosecutor that we had a lot of cases

736
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: where we could bring a racketeering case and New York

737
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,919
Speaker 1: could bring a bunch of crimes that could be fit

738
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: into a racketeering prosecution, but they were state crimes, and

739
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: we always needed to let them go first because if

740
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: we went first under the New York State and we

741
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: being the federal government under the New York State constitution,

742
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: they have a doctrine that's called equitable double jeopardy, which

743
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: means if you've been prosecuted by the Feds, you can't

744
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: be prosecuted by the state. It's unusual because most of

745
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: the country follows what's known as the dual sovereignty doctrine,

746
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: which is that there's no double jeopardy protection from a

747
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: subsequent state prosecution if you've been prosecuted federally, they deemed

748
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 1: to be two different sovereigns, so they don't jeopardy each

749
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: other out, so to speak. But in New York it's different.

750
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: So I would imagine that Manafort has a very strong

751
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: double jeopardy argument against the New York prosecution under the

752
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 1: New York constitution. What's interesting is what happens if Trump

753
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: pardons them. If Trump were to pardon them, that legally

754
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: has the effect of vitiating, eradicating the underlying criminality, and

755
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: that arguably would open the door for New York to

756
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: prosecute him, because then there's nothing, you know, there's no

757
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: federal jeopardy. So what I might do if I'd have

758
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: to explore this a little more. But if I were

759
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: Manaphort and I didn't really care that much at this

760
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 1: late stage of my life about the stain of having

761
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: convictions on it, he wants a commutation, not a pardon. Yeah, precisely. Yeah, yeah,

762
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: that would that makes sense. And that's, by the way,

763
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: I actually think that that's also a more fair because

764
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: Menaphord broke the law. I'm not some manafort chill, but

765
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: I can see what's going on here, and I mean

766
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: Andy also, just do I put this aside. This kind

767
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: of reminds me of see it just happened to be

768
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: there when when Stone got arrested. Sure, the timing of

769
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: this one within hours of the of the judge of

770
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: federally sentencing him. I don't believe it. That's a coincidence,

771
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: and we shouldn't, right, no, of course, Well, I mean

772
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: in the business that you and I were in, m

773
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, we don't really believe in there's a presumption

774
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: against coincidences, right they we hear about a lot of them.

775
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: But when we investigate them very soon actually turn out

776
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: to be coincidence. Yeah, yeah, I think that's toly fair.

777
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: And just before, I mean, we got other things. I

778
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: want to bring you back in a moment and get

779
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: into the Lisa page the latest of what's going on

780
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: behind closed doors on Capitol Hill about Russia collusion and

781
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But let me ask you this Manaford

782
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: is facing. I heard this today on Fox, and I

783
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: found this one hard to but I know that federal

784
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: sentences and used to be somebody that was prosecuting them,

785
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: so you know this very well. But federal sentences shock

786
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: a lot of people with how severe they are. I mean,

787
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: if you go the full you know, the full duration

788
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: under the statute in prison U today though I saw,

789
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 1: or I heard rather from Fox that the state charges

790
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: level gets man could send him to prison for over

791
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: one hundred years theoretically, and he isn't this little nuts

792
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: well it's a mortgage fraud, but buck the federal charges

793
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: that he faced in the two indictments, which is why

794
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: I thought part of what Mueller did here was a joke.

795
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: I think they aggregated to about three hundred years, and

796
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: I remember it was one week about I want to

797
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: say April or so of or March of twenty seventeen,

798
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: where one day he indicts Gates and Manifort for like

799
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: two hundred years exposure, and then the next day he

800
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: pleads out Gates and he gives him a sweetheart deal

801
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: that caps them at five years or ten years, whatever

802
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: it was. And if you look at what the Washington

803
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: case was today, what Muller did was and this I

804
00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: think is a reprehensible practice. What he would do as

805
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: he would stack charges when he initially charged someone in

806
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: order to make it look like an overwhelming case in

807
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: order to intimidate the persity charged, and then when it

808
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: was time to plead them out, they plead him out

809
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: to a song. So today Manaford pled guilty to a

810
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: money laundering conspiracy and a witness stampering conspiracy. Each of

811
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: those charges is supposed to be a twenty year charge,

812
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: but Muller, to get the plea, gave him two five

813
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: year charges, which meant that even though the sentencing guidelines

814
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,959
Speaker 1: were something like twenty five years, the most Manaford faced

815
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: today was ten years. And then the judge only gave

816
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: him forty seven months. So you know, I hear all

817
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,479
Speaker 1: these people talking about how, you know, he got really

818
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: screwed today, But I got to say, you know, it

819
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: could have been a lot worse if certainly, if I

820
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: had been charging the case, it would have been a

821
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: lot worse. Yeah, everybody, And he's told me, if you

822
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: were guilty, you didn't want Andy to be your prosecutor

823
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: back in the day. But I mean, that's what that's

824
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: Justice Department guidelines. It's not me. I mean, that's you're

825
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: supposed to charge the most severe, readily provable count. And

826
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: what Mueller did was he basically gained the system to

827
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: inflate things when he charged them, and then give away

828
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: the store to get people a plead guilty. I mean,

829
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: is that almost unethical what he's done in Andy? I mean,

830
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: how would you describe Mueller's conduct. I would describe it

831
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 1: as flouting Justice Department guidelines and that's not supposed to

832
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: happen if you have adult supervision. But it seems to

833
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: me that the Deputy Attorney General who was supposed to

834
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: be supervising this thing basically let him do whatever he

835
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: wanted to do. Yeah, and I've got some stories for

836
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: about Rod Rosenstein. I don't know if you have stories,

837
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: but I often tell you those offline. But he is

838
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: not covering himself in He has not been covering himself

839
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: in glory in the last last couple of years. Yeah, guys,

840
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: we're going to come back with Andy here to talk

841
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: to you, talk to him about some of that, the

842
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: special counsel and all that. So I'll stay right there.

843
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: When you want to spot that burglar when he's casing

863
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: of National Review and Fox News. Andy, a lot going on,

864
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 1: this story not getting nearly as much attention as I

865
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: would think it would or it should, And there have

866
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: been some revelations from the closed door testimony. The transcripts

867
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 1: are out of what Lisa Page, whoever knows had the

868
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: relationship with Peter Struck at the FBI and was close

869
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: to She was a senior FBI lawyer, very close to

870
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: these Russia and Hillary, the Russia collusion investigation, the Hillary

871
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: Clinton email investigation. What do you make of one her

872
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 1: saying that Obama's DOJ essentially or people who ran the

873
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: DOJAN the Obama administration, it was kind of a close

874
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 1: call whether a charge Hillary or not, and then they

875
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: actually didn't go for it. Well, Buck, I've always said

876
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: from the beginning that there was no way that the

877
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: Justice Department was going to let the FBI charge Hillary

878
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:05,280
Speaker 1: Clinton with anything, forget about espionage anything. And I also

879
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: said that Obama made it quite clear, not that I

880
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: think he had to, that he did not want his

881
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: Justice Department to charge Missus Clinton when he made public

882
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 1: statements in April of twenty sixteen saying that he didn't

883
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 1: he didn't think what she did was serious or anything

884
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: worthy of prosecution. So the only thing I've always been

885
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: really confused by in this whole thing and irritated by,

886
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 1: is I don't understand why the FBI and Jim Comey

887
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: took the bullet for this one. I've never understood that.

888
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: I don't understand why. I think what Comey was trying

889
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: to do was protect the reputation of the FBI by

890
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: trying to show that they did a thorough investigation despite

891
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,800
Speaker 1: the politics here. But I don't know why he didn't

892
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: just complete his investigation. They had this mountainous evidence of

893
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: wrongdoing and then just dump it Loretto Lynch's lap and

894
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: let her decline to prosecute. I don't know why the

895
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: FBI took the bullet on this one and just with

896
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: with the the molloprobe apparently wrapping up now and it's

897
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: in its final stages. We keep being told that I've

898
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: been told this by people, you know, offline at the

899
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: doj um. You know that some of them actually said it.

900
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: Now they've come forward and said and said that they

901
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: think this is in the latter stages. Whatever that means.

902
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: You know, Andy, what what is your sort of preparation

903
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: for the end of this thing? You know, buckets really

904
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: hard because we don't even know what the report is, right, um.

905
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: You know, we know that the regulations require the special

906
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: cancel to give a report to the Attorney General explaining

907
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: his reasoning in either charging people or not charging them.

908
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: Now that you don't have to do much explaining when

909
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: you charge them, right, the indictments speak for themselves. But

910
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: when you don't charge someone, it's very common, of course,

911
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: within the Justice Department for a line prosecutor to explain

912
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,919
Speaker 1: to the supervisor, here's why I don't think we should

913
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: charge and get approval for that, but that never becomes public.

914
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: And here it seems to me that you also have

915
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: the overlay of the fact that this is always masqueraded

916
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 1: as a counterintelligence investigation. From the beginning. Counterintelligence investigations are classified.

917
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: So you have three provisions, right. You have the regulations

918
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: that say this is a confidential report from the Special

919
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,240
Speaker 1: Council to the Attorney General. You have Justice Department policy

920
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: that you don't go public with the evidence on uncharged people.

921
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: And you have classified information running through the investigation because

922
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: it's counterintelligence. So I don't even know what's going to

923
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: be in the report, but I don't see how that

924
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: gets publicized and any at this point, is there anything

925
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 1: that you think is is still outstanding that you you know,

926
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: what do you really want to know? After I mean,

927
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: we've been having you on this show for now going

928
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: on two years to talk about where we've come in

929
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: this whole process, and I know you've been writing a

930
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: lot about it and analyzing it. I mean, how do

931
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: you just overall assess what's happened here to the president?

932
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, it looks like there were some

933
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: senior people in the government who really didn't want Trump

934
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: to win, and they had a minimum of use their

935
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: discretion and authority to use the investigative powers not just

936
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: of the FBI, but of the of the intelligence communities.

937
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: You said, going a counterintelligence fishing expedition, and it seemed

938
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: like there's really not going to be any accountability for that. Well,

939
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: I hope there is going to be accountability for that.

940
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: I've never wanted Muller to take that on, but because

941
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, number one, he had enough to

942
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 1: deal with. Investigate what he what we think he was

943
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 1: told to investigate, which was whether there was involvement of

944
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign in Russia's you know, cyber espionage against

945
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: the election. Especially when I saw who he picked to

946
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,439
Speaker 1: investigate that, I never wanted him to do anything else.

947
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: I wanted him to just stick to that and get

948
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: it done. I think somebody else needs to I don't

949
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't like special counsels, but I think somebody needs

950
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: to look at what happened with the investigators because it

951
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: seems to me that there was abuse of the government's

952
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 1: counterintelligence authorities in order for the incumbent administration to spy

953
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: on the opposition campaign. I think the big ticket item

954
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: out of Lisa pages testimony that we've heard about is

955
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: that to me, it eliminates all doubt if there ever

956
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 1: was any that Donald Trump was obviously the target of

957
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: this investigation. You know, they structured it in a way

958
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: that they could say they were only looking at the campaign.

959
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: They were clearly looking at him. I mean she even says,

960
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, look, if he doesn't get elected, then there's

961
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:01,240
Speaker 1: no national security problem, right, I mean pretty much tells

962
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: you everything that you need to hear. And I think

963
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: what happened here, buck is everybody thought Hillary was going

964
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: to win, and everybody figured this was counterintelligence and it

965
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: was classified, so would never ever see the light of day.

966
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 1: Missus Clinton would never have had any incentive to expose it.

967
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: So this thing was going to die a death. If

968
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 1: she had won. You would never have heard about Russia

969
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,479
Speaker 1: and the election again. But what happened was once Trump won,

970
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: they knew that in ten weeks he was going to

971
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 1: get access to all of the classified information. I'm with you,

972
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: and and they had to justify everything. Yeah, they had

973
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: to justify everything they had done beforehand. It makes sense,

974
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: Annie will have you back. We get that report for sure,

975
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,720
Speaker 1: Annie mccarth, everybody Nashurreview and Fox News read his stuff

976
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: on nasherview dot com. Andy, thanks so much, Thanks buck Well,

977
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 1: there's clear evidence on the issue of collusion or people

978
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: who wonder, what does collusion look like when its charged

979
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: as a crime. Bob Muller has told us, have Democrats

980
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 1: found any even of collusion? Yes, we have. Can you

981
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: agree that there has been no evidence of collusion, coordination,

982
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: or conspiracy that has been presented thus far between the

983
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: Trump campaign and Russia. No, I don't agree with that

984
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 1: at all. I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion

985
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: or conspiracy in plain sight. All you have right now

986
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: is a circumstantial case. Actually, no, Chuck, you have seen

987
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 1: direct evidence of collusion. I don't want to go into specifics,

988
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: but I will say that there is evidence that is

989
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigations. I

990
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: would look at it more of a tactical move. So

991
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi definitely wants to impeach the president. They just

992
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: want to find more evidence. So she's staking out a

993
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: position that ultimately I think she will come around if

994
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: they do, in fact find their mythical animal that they're

995
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: looking for on collusion, obstruction, or in any of Trump's

996
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 1: business deals. So I see it as a tactical move.

997
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:57,799
Speaker 1: I wouldn't read a lot into it other than it's

998
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: just something that they normally do. She's actually just saying

999
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: something publicly that privately she's probably not saying to her members.

1000
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: Nevin Nuness is absolutely correct here. This is all about

1001
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,280
Speaker 1: tactics with Nancy Pelosi. And you know, I never bought

1002
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: it for one second when she said there was not

1003
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: going to be impeachment. That's just that's just nonsense. You know,

1004
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 1: that's nonsense. The only reason they would not impeach is

1005
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: if they think the political winds have shifted strongly against them.

1006
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: It's not because they have respect for this system or

1007
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: they want the American people to have their say in

1008
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That is all horse manure, you know it is.

1009
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: But don't you love how Adam Schiff runs around acting like, oh,

1010
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: there's already been all this evidence can't tell you what

1011
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: it is, and we still need to investigate. But there's

1012
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: plenty of evidence for this. People in the swamp here

1013
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: in DC have so thoroughly debased themselves in this effort

1014
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: to get Trump. And one thing that I find remarkable

1015
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: that there are a lot of a lot of ways

1016
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: on a policy level, there are a lot of things

1017
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: that you could point to to criticize Trump, to undermine Trump,

1018
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: but they put most of their eggs in the Russia

1019
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: collusion basket. And now that it's clear that's I'm not

1020
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: going to be labor this analogy. Now the eggs are

1021
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: going to hatch. But now that it's clear that's not

1022
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:24,959
Speaker 1: going to be what they wanted it to be, they're

1023
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: just ready to move on to the next thing and

1024
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: say that an impeachment is what needs to happen here.

1025
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: And and I just find the whole thing to be

1026
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: so so disheartening because people who point out, and this

1027
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: occasionally comes up when I say that the Muller probe

1028
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: has been the most insane abuse of government power and

1029
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: authority you know in my lifetime, that this is completely outrageous,

1030
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: and that nothing like this ever happened to Obama, and

1031
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: nothing like this ever would have happened to Obama, and

1032
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: they say, oh, well, what about Birtherism. It's just such

1033
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: a pathetic response. I worked for during the Obama administration.

1034
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: For most of the Obama administration, I worked for one

1035
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: of the most right wing major media organizations in the country,

1036
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: The Blaze, which is now the Blaze Media, which is

1037
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: as you know, emerged with CRTV. I worked at the

1038
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: Blaze for six years, not a single person that I

1039
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: worked with, not one person ran with the birther conspiracy,

1040
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: thought that Obama was part of some international conspiracy to

1041
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: you'd be a Manchurian candidate who was really from some

1042
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: other country to take over this country. All this stuff,

1043
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: not one, not one. And yet this is now talked

1044
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: about like well because because of Birthers, and people say, well,

1045
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: look what Trump did, and I say, yeah, Trump. Trump

1046
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: wanted some publicity, so he said, okay, let's see your

1047
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: birth certificate. Obama showed the birth certificate. But this was

1048
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: not taken seriously by conservative media at the time. This

1049
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: is not something that you know, I in all my

1050
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: time on the air and on TV, I said, oh,

1051
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think the birther thing is real. Meanwhile,

1052
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: the entirety of the left wing media thinks that the

1053
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: President United States and his campaign worked with Russia to

1054
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: cheat Hillary out of the election. They all believe that

1055
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: this whole time. And I don't think we should let

1056
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: them off easily when they're going to try to just

1057
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: sort of tiptoe away backwards, not away from all investigations,

1058
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: just into other investigations and away from Russia collusion into

1059
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, porn star payoffs and Trump's business dealings and

1060
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, am I and David Pecker and all this

1061
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: other stuff. That's where they're heading. Speaking of the left

1062
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: wing media, this is what Sam Donaldson said on CNN

1063
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: about Tucker Carlson Place six. Can you think of Matt

1064
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: Lauer or any of the other people Charlie Rose saying, well, wait,

1065
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: a moment that was justin just it was fun. I

1066
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: maybe this is something that wasn't that important, was it.

1067
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 1: Yes it was important. It happened long ago, but yes

1068
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: it's still important. Your character is important, and what's happening

1069
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: today is a revolution when it comes to the way

1070
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: men treat women. Well, you say, but this is not that. No,

1071
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: this is vulgarity. This is hate speech. This is homophobic speech.

1072
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: This is the kind of speech that, if left unchecked,

1073
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: will change this country forever. It's just as bad and

1074
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: it should be punished in the way that the men

1075
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: were punished for what they did. This is the hate speech.

1076
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: That is homophobic speech. This is the kind of speech,

1077
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: if left unchecked, will change this country forever. I mean,

1078
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: Sam Donaldson, there is no one that you can find

1079
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: in the public sphere who it thinks that their their

1080
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: pronouncements are more important and are backed up with less

1081
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: intellectual haft than the network news anchors of yester year

1082
01:01:56,200 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 1: of of you know, years past, Dan Rather Sam Donaldson.

1083
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: These people don't know a darned thing about anything, and

1084
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: yet we're supposed to listen to them because they were

1085
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: on TV for years and their hair was just right.

1086
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's such nonsense. This is the kind of speech,

1087
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: if left unchecked, will change this country forever. He says,

1088
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: what kind of hysterical pearl clutching is that? And Tucker

1089
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,479
Speaker 1: said that on open radio. It's not like they taped

1090
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: private conversations. He said it a decade ago. It didn't

1091
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: change anything for anyone. But the left is desperate to

1092
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: maintain this little tool that they can use against conservatives,

1093
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: where they can crush conservatives at will. They really want

1094
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: to keep this going, and they know that if they

1095
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: fail here it will call into question whether they will

1096
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: be able going forward to do this and to crush

1097
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 1: conservatives at will. We'll talk more about Tucker here coming

1098
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: up in just a moment. Christ And that is why

1099
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: we're here. You can say to advertisers, drop the Americans

1100
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: support actual real news, because what you are support is

1101
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: hurting people and it's dangerous. Can you raise your hand

1102
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: if you think Fox News gives one damn about women?

1103
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: Are juice fos Fox News, Fox News. I think some

1104
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: of them were dropped on their heads when they were babies.

1105
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: And that was the Media Matters mob outside of the

1106
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: Fox News building in New York City today trying to protest,

1107
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: trying to get more sponsors to drop. And let me

1108
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: just say that these people are morons. I don't mince

1109
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: words about this. The people who support them, including people

1110
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: in media who support Media Matters, they are just they

1111
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: are disgraceful, they are cowards, and they should be ashamed.

1112
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: Media Matters is a fraud from top to bottom. It

1113
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,479
Speaker 1: started out to balance out the two the overly pro

1114
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: Christian viewpoint in media, which is just on its face insane.

1115
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 1: But Media Matters is a taxpayer, a taxpayer advantaged political

1116
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: action committee. I mean, it's just a it's just a

1117
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: hit group on conservatives, immedia. It's sorrows funded. I mean,

1118
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: this is all the worst of the worst, and the

1119
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: people that go to work for Media Matters should be

1120
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: ashamed of what they do. They don't bring, they bring

1121
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: nothing constructive to the table. They aren't helping anyone. They

1122
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: don't do anything worthwhile. The entire media apparatus is already

1123
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 1: on their side of these political issues. You know, Media

1124
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: Matters is an organization that thinks that it's helping free

1125
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 1: or pretends, I should say that it's helping free speech

1126
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: and helping debate in this country by trying to take

1127
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: the does it or so news networks that all agree

1128
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: with each other and crush the one news network that doesn't.

1129
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: And talk talk radio, by the way, with it, I

1130
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: mean talk radio, the two things that the left just

1131
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: hates that they have not been able to stamp out

1132
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 1: yet our talk radio and Fox News. They've they've seized

1133
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: control of social media. My friends, I knew they were

1134
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: going to do it, and they've done it. Social media

1135
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: is now the domain the province of the left. We

1136
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: can still operate there, we can still use it, but

1137
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: when push comes to shove, it is hostile territory. We

1138
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: have one cable news channel with full spectrum cover. I

1139
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: know there are a few others. People say, what about

1140
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: One America. I haven't really watched much One America. I

1141
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,919
Speaker 1: have some friends who work for One America, but it's

1142
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: not in it's not on all the different cable providers,

1143
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: so it's already at a huge disadvantage to say MSNBC

1144
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 1: and CNN. So you know, this is just I'm so

1145
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: thankful that Tucker is just finally saying enough, and I

1146
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 1: really hope that he continues to have the support he's

1147
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: had on the corporate side because this. I don't want

1148
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: to live in this country anymore and and have to

1149
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: deal with the whims of the the sadistic, vindictive left

1150
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: and all their speech policing and all their nonsense. I

1151
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: just think we've all had enough. We don't want to

1152
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: be subject to what the latest social media social justice

1153
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: mob thinks is necessary. And they've gotten away with the

1154
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: strategy for far too long, and it's all a joke.

1155
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. The left never gets in trouble. Joy read

1156
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna say joy by Joy bay Ha. Hello,

1157
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm on TV. I'm a mourn but I get paid

1158
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: a lot to be the woman who goes, oh Trump

1159
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: is awful, but don't Joy read over at MSNBC, she

1160
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: wrote stuff that was clearly anti gay, and it was

1161
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: a long time ago, but she wrote subs anti gay,

1162
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: and then she pretended she didn't write it and that

1163
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 1: she was hacked and she was gonna get the FBI

1164
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: to investigate. She still has her job. And by the way,

1165
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm okay with her still her job. And I think

1166
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 1: she's a clown and she should be mocked for that,

1167
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: but you know, she still has her job. You just

1168
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: go down the list, this guy Karasny, who is like

1169
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: the number two at Media Matters, behind David Brock, who

1170
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: is just a a gross human being. He said a

1171
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff years ago that's come out now that

1172
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: that would be completely unacceptable to left. We just we

1173
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: know what it is. They just don't. And this is

1174
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: how they like it. This is how they like the

1175
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 1: Department of Justice to act, This is how they like

1176
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: the media outrage mobs to act. You know, the left

1177
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: always gets away with it and we don't. It's always

1178
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: just used as a as a cudgel, as a battergram

1179
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 1: against conservatives, and I just think it's so. There are

1180
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: some conservatives that came after me, and I've had a

1181
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 1: lot of you know, I've had far lefties come after me.

1182
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: I've had people from all kinds of far left organizations.

1183
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: And the last few days because I've been very vocal

1184
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: about how it doesn't matter to me what Tucker said.

1185
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I don't approve of what he said

1186
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: at all. I think I think some of what Tucker

1187
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: said wasn't not smart stuff to say. But he says

1188
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: a lot of things. He's been saying a lot of

1189
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: things for a long time. And you know, he's a

1190
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: good guy with beliefs that I agree with, who treats

1191
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: the people he works with very very well. He's an

1192
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: important voice in this country. He's a family man. He's

1193
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: a father of I think three, it's been you know,

1194
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:27,839
Speaker 1: married to his wife for decades. And you know, sometimes

1195
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: he likes to be a little years ago. He likes

1196
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: to be a little edgy. So what ten years later

1197
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna fire him. I mean, this is insane. And

1198
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: as you know, the most important part of this is

1199
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: that if they get Tucker, it's just whoever comes next.

1200
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: They'll wait, they'll get that person too. Nobody that you

1201
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 1: know in the media, nobody worth listening to in the media.

1202
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 1: Who does enough content, who writes enough things, who is

1203
01:08:55,800 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 1: unscripted enough, is without sin. When it comes to the

1204
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: left's view of what's acceptable discourse, nobody. You know, there

1205
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: are some limits to this right there. I know there's

1206
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: some people that have gone further than others, and some

1207
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 1: people have made what you could accurately call, you know,

1208
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 1: a mistake, or have said something that was wrong or

1209
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 1: that was hurtful or that was but no, nobody's perfect

1210
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 1: on this stuff. And really the check on what somebody's

1211
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 1: saying on the content side of things should be what

1212
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 1: is there what is their audience really think of it?

1213
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: You know, do do people still show up to listen?

1214
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 1: Do the American people still show up to listen? The

1215
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: American people, or at least some of the American people

1216
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,640
Speaker 1: care to hear what this individual has to say. You know,

1217
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 1: it should be the marketplace of ideas. It should not

1218
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: be some people who get to say, you don't have

1219
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 1: a license for this marketplace. Get out. We're taking it

1220
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 1: away from you because we don't like what you said

1221
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: ten years ago. I'm hoping this is a watershed moment

1222
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: with Tucker standing in defiance of the outrage mobs demands

1223
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:02,719
Speaker 1: for him to take the knee. All they do now

1224
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: and this has been the case for years, the left

1225
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: wing outrage mobs to demand that you take the knee, apologize,

1226
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 1: engage in a kind of ritual self humiliation, and then

1227
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 1: they take your head. You know, I'm in kind of

1228
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 1: a Game of Thrones mood this week. But the left's

1229
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:25,760
Speaker 1: paradig on the left's approach to speech that offends now

1230
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 1: on the right, not on the left, is that they

1231
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,679
Speaker 1: pull a Prince Geoffrey, just just confess your sins and

1232
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 1: confess your sins and we will show you mercy. And

1233
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: you go okay, and you confess your sins, and then

1234
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: and then, and then the left goes, well, thanks for

1235
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: your confession. Now we know you're guilty. Off with his head.

1236
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: That's what they do. So why debase yourself? I put

1237
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 1: yourself through that process? And also what does that tell

1238
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: us about the people on the left and whether they

1239
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: have any honor the major media outlets, the Jeff Zuckers

1240
01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: and the Brian Stelters and the you know, the just

1241
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 1: go down the list of all these different I can't

1242
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: even keep up at least if left wing organizations. You know,

1243
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 1: these people that make this big deal of oh Tucker

1244
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 1: and what he said is in the Washington Post media

1245
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: reporters and don't even know their names. What do they

1246
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: say about them, that they are a part of this process,

1247
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 1: and they have no shame. They there's no dignity that

1248
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 1: they have to protect here, no sense of decency. We

1249
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 1: are at a war for the soul of this country.

1250
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 1: Every day. You and I are in a war for

1251
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 1: the soul of this country. Doesn't always feel that way.

1252
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 1: Probably sounds grandiose when you hear me say it, but

1253
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: you know it's true. There are dark forces that are

1254
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: at work here that want to strip away our fundamental

1255
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 1: freedoms and rights, that do not believe in the genius

1256
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: of the founding, do not believe in individual liberty. They

1257
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: want control, they want their way, and they've been brainwashing

1258
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 1: into thinking things are true that are not true. And

1259
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:56,599
Speaker 1: if you won't agree that those things are true, they

1260
01:11:56,640 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 1: want to come after you too. You bend the knee,

1261
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: You do what you're told, or they will destroy you.

1262
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 1: I refuse. I refuse. This is going to be a

1263
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:12,560
Speaker 1: problem at some point, my friends. There will come a

1264
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 1: day when I will have to say I refuse, and

1265
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be consequences, but you know what,

1266
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 1: I will have to suffer those consequences because I refuse

1267
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: to play their game. The Left is unhinged, immoral, unfair,

1268
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 1: and has no interest in reforming itself right now. So

1269
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 1: if they want to make this a war for the

1270
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: soul of the country, which they already have, I say

1271
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 1: we fight back and stop surrendering and hope that they're

1272
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:44,320
Speaker 1: nicer to us. Stop pretending that only through our capitulation

1273
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: can we reach some degree of peace and harmony. No,

1274
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 1: we all we reach is our own conquest. I say no,

1275
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: and so does Tucker. God bless him for it. Just

1276
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:59,719
Speaker 1: last night here in DC, I drove past the AARP building,

1277
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: and I know it's a big, fancied building and it's

1278
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 1: an organization that a lot of people have heard of.

1279
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 1: But you know, the AARP is pretty left wing, really

1280
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 1: into the Affordable Care Act and pushes for progressive causes.

1281
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 1: So if you're a senior listening to this, I really

1282
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 1: want you to check out my friends at AMAC WHATA

1283
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 1: I recommend AMAC well. It has over one point five

1284
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: million Americans who are already members, and AMAC gives you

1285
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 1: all the great benefits that you might get from another

1286
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: senior organization, like discounts on car insurance, hotels, roadside assistants,

1287
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 1: dental plans, so you get all that stuff. But also

1288
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 1: Amack is pushing for policies and for a future in

1289
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,639
Speaker 1: this country that you agree with. So stand with AMAC

1290
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: as they fight the good fight by becoming a member today.

1291
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: The benefits are great, but the cause of conservatism is

1292
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 1: even greater. Tell your family and tell your friends join

1293
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 1: right now at AMAC dot us slash buck. That's AMAC

1294
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: dot us slash buck. Amack is better, better for you,

1295
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 1: better for America. I'm here at the cafeteria PS One

1296
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 1: thirty in Brooklyn with these amazing kids. So I was

1297
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: spending time with fourth graders, seventh graders, and they are

1298
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 1: passionate about want to make sure they are healthy and

1299
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,799
Speaker 1: the earth is healthy. And they believe in meatless mondays.

1300
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 1: And I want you to know while we're gonna do

1301
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: it for the whole school system because we need our

1302
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:18,600
Speaker 1: kids to be healthy and a more balanced diet, more vegetables,

1303
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 1: war fruits, more meatless options, good for everyone, good for

1304
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: the earth too. We know that we're gonna have to

1305
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:27,719
Speaker 1: do a lot for quite blobal warming and that food

1306
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 1: is looking at how our food is produced me and

1307
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: choosing some other options, striking a better balance. That's what

1308
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 1: this is all about. And I gotta tell you when

1309
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: you're talking to a ten year old and they know

1310
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 1: this is good for their body and good for the earth,

1311
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 1: that fruits are going in the right direction, there's a

1312
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 1: lot of induced as And kids told me that the

1313
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 1: food taste better now that they have these meatless options.

1314
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 1: Were getting a lot of great tasting food that they're

1315
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 1: excited to eat. They don't want to throw away or

1316
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 1: pass by. The actually want to eat their lunch. And

1317
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 1: as a parent, that is music to my ears. Always

1318
01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:59,759
Speaker 1: want our kids to eat their veggie. Now they're actually

1319
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 1: doing enjoy it. So Mayor Bill Deblasio of New York

1320
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 1: is a meat head, not a very smart guy. Amazing

1321
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: that he is the mayor of the largest city in

1322
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: the United States, given how deeply unimpressive he is. Just

1323
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: a man who learned the political system, the political game

1324
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:20,759
Speaker 1: in New York City, just wrote it as a Democrat

1325
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: all the way to the top. And some are saying

1326
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 1: he now has presidential aspirations. Folks, So don't think for

1327
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 1: those of you who wanted his jump to oh back,

1328
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 1: de Blasio's your problem. Deblasio is not our problem. He's

1329
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: your problem. No, I wouldn't say that's necessarily the case,

1330
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,639
Speaker 1: but he also illustrates a trend that you see among

1331
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 1: Democrats these days, and it is one that from the

1332
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: mouths of babes the most complex policy solutions shell low, no, no, no,

1333
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:58,759
Speaker 1: I do not care. And for any ten year olds,

1334
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 1: Team buck. Ten year olds, you guys are awesome, thank

1335
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 1: you for listening, but I do not care what you

1336
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:06,720
Speaker 1: think about global warming. Okay, I'm just letting you know.

1337
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna need a little more time on the subject,

1338
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:11,679
Speaker 1: a little more time in the classroom before we're gonna

1339
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 1: have a real debate about global warming. To ten year

1340
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 1: olds don't know anything about policy, and that's not a

1341
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: put down. They're not supposed to know anything about policy.

1342
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: Four year olds don't know any about policy either. Most

1343
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: twenty five year olds don't know anything about policy. But

1344
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,639
Speaker 1: we at least have to give them the option of

1345
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 1: voting and being involved, because some of them do and

1346
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 1: they're adults. But this idea of a meatless Monday to

1347
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 1: combat global warming, this is central planning for your kids

1348
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 1: lunch tray. That's what they're doing. So when I say

1349
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 1: things on this show that sound like it's men to

1350
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 1: rile you up, sounds like oh, Buck, you must be

1351
01:16:56,880 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 1: saying this just because people will get, you know, all

1352
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 1: fired up about it. No, no, no, that's not true.

1353
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this because it's what's happening. You know.

1354
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 1: When I tell you that they're propagandizing to your kids

1355
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:13,720
Speaker 1: and that the green energy agenda is really just a

1356
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:19,360
Speaker 1: trojan horse for an entirely socialist state, I really mean it.

1357
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 1: That is what they are doing, That is the plan here,

1358
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 1: and that they would want to influence the food your

1359
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 1: child is eating should also tell you a lot about

1360
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 1: how devoted they are to this system. Now, I know,

1361
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: the good news is that for a lot of Americans,

1362
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 1: we're not giving up meat. It's not happening. I know

1363
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 1: people that whenever I say this, there are some people

1364
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 1: listen to this show who are like world class bodybuilders

1365
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: who are also vegans. There are a few that I've

1366
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: gotten and they're like, book, look at these ads. I

1367
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 1: did all this with Tofu. You know, maybe you're just

1368
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: some kind of special spect a man, And I'm just

1369
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: telling you I can't live on Tofu man, all right.

1370
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 1: I need all the red meat I could get. So

1371
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,639
Speaker 1: for those of you who are listening to this and

1372
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 1: are vegans in impeccable shape and could could teach me many, many,

1373
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 1: many things about how to do the kettlebell swings. Just God,

1374
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 1: bless man or end woman. I just it's not for me.

1375
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:23,759
Speaker 1: I can't give up meat. It is one of those joys,

1376
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: those few joys that you know I can enjoy day

1377
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: to day. I don't think there's a I don't think

1378
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 1: I go without eating at least some form of meat

1379
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,680
Speaker 1: is in some form of protein on any day. But

1380
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 1: that this would come back global warming. Think of how

1381
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: foolish this is. What do they what do they think

1382
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 1: is happening by doing this? This is just propagandizing to children.

1383
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 1: This is brainwashing them. This is why you have twelve

1384
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 1: year olds who show up in Diane Feinstein's office And

1385
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 1: but what about your wold on you? And in twelve years,

1386
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: why are you a bad member of dushan? It were

1387
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 1: very very scout And I feel bad for those little

1388
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:07,600
Speaker 1: kids because they are actually scared. They're not they're not pretending.

1389
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 1: You know, they still believe in Santa, and they still

1390
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: believe in catastrophic climate change. And Santa is at least

1391
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 1: fun that Santa, at least there's an upside catastrophic climate change,

1392
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 1: there's no upside. But I don't I don't see how

1393
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:25,240
Speaker 1: any person can think that changing the lunch menu in

1394
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,520
Speaker 1: New York City public schools so that they have meatless

1395
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: Monday is going to do anything other than allow adults

1396
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 1: to have some virtue signaling and to convince kids that

1397
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 1: they have to make completely inane, foolish, worthless changes in

1398
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 1: their day to day lives so that they can save

1399
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:52,599
Speaker 1: the planet. This this is cult like behavior. And I'm

1400
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: sure if you were to look into the carbon footprint,

1401
01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: if you if you did more, if anyone were to

1402
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 1: do more research on the carbon footprints used by some

1403
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:05,600
Speaker 1: of our farming methods. And I told you about I

1404
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:08,680
Speaker 1: think it was palm oil and how palm oil was

1405
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 1: supposed to be this this new biofuel and it was

1406
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,640
Speaker 1: going to be amazing and doll and turns out that

1407
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 1: palm palm oil production and what's necessary in terms of

1408
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 1: the destruction of forests to create palm oil has been

1409
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:26,759
Speaker 1: way worse for the environment, way worse for the environment

1410
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: than anything anything else that could have happened there. I mean,

1411
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 1: you know that then the just continuation of the status

1412
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: quo versus cutting down all these trees. And this happens over,

1413
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: this happens over and over again. And I always tell

1414
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: you about this book and it's just it's a little

1415
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: dry and it's a little academic, but seeing like a

1416
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:51,120
Speaker 1: state and it just walks you through. It's an academic

1417
01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: treatment of the side, but it walks you through how

1418
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 1: state planning because state planning and central planning is what

1419
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: I mean by day planning. Because central planning does not

1420
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: allow for localized improvisation, as in changes in approach, in

1421
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:15,639
Speaker 1: strategy based on conditions and immediate results. Because central planning

1422
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: cannot handle those things as well as decentralized planning can,

1423
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 1: it is always doomed too massive failures. They are going

1424
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 1: to be enormous failures from central planning because of this.

1425
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: One thing that I'm hoping to spend more time talking

1426
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: about on the show is and this is you know,

1427
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 1: people have been asking about this recently. I have been

1428
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:39,439
Speaker 1: thinking I want to get back a little bit to

1429
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 1: the roots of the Freedom Hunt from when I first

1430
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 1: started on the Saturday show and would do some pretty

1431
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: deep political philosophy with all of you. I mean, it's

1432
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 1: one thing that I don't know where else people are

1433
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 1: getting at these days. It's certainly not commonplace in conservative

1434
01:21:56,640 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 1: conservative media to see and to hear about, I mean,

1435
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: political philosophy at the level of we're really going to

1436
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 1: talk about the underlying systems of belief and understanding for

1437
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 1: why it is that socialism is destined to fail and

1438
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,760
Speaker 1: not just socialism sucks. Look at Venezuela. There's more than

1439
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: just socialism sucks. Look at Venezuela. As I've been saying

1440
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 1: to you. But one of them is to borrow from

1441
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 1: borrow from the great thinkers on these issues, like von

1442
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 1: Meses and Hyak and look at why why does so

1443
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 1: forget about socialism and practice and the history of socialism,

1444
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: because we do a lot of that. But to my

1445
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: point about central planning and why it fails and why

1446
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: governments are doomed to keep repeating these same failures around

1447
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 1: central planning, here's what I can tell you. The root

1448
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: fallacy of socialism is that it inverts the relationship in

1449
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: a state where the producers are the ones making the decisions.

1450
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 1: What you really want are the consumers making decisions about

1451
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: what is being produced, because that is the natural order

1452
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 1: of an economic relationship, right, you know, if the producer

1453
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 1: can make the determinations for the consumer, then there is

1454
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:24,520
Speaker 1: no check in balance really on what is being produced.

1455
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: Then there's really no way to to have those localized improvisations. Right.

1456
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 1: So here's a here's a way to to speak about

1457
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: this that's a little more down in in or I

1458
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 1: guess out of the weeds. You know, if I show

1459
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 1: up at a marketplace and I have nothing but gluten

1460
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:48,640
Speaker 1: free cupcakes, and one of the producers today at the

1461
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:51,559
Speaker 1: hill made gluten free cupcakes because she knows that I

1462
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 1: can't eat gluten, and it was someone else's birthday, but

1463
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 1: she didn't. She I'm always left out whenever I know

1464
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 1: it's that wa wah, whenever they order or pizza for

1465
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: the office, or there's a cake for someone's birthday. So

1466
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 1: one producer, producer, Jess, is very nice of her. She

1467
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: made gluten free cup and they were amazing, by the way,

1468
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 1: But I haven't. But let's say I showed up to

1469
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 1: market and all I have are gluten free cupcakes, and

1470
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: the people showing up, We're like, no, we like gluten

1471
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 1: in our cupcakes. We think it takes better. Well, if

1472
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:20,760
Speaker 1: the producers are in charge, If I'm the producer and

1473
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm in charge. I get to say no, no, I

1474
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 1: don't care take these muffins. Well then what happens, right then,

1475
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 1: how do we get happier consumers? Well, what we know

1476
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: is consumers will go somewhere else to get things. But

1477
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 1: if I'm their only option, because if I'm the central planner,

1478
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 1: now people are just getting something that they don't want, right,

1479
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a very simplified version of it.

1480
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:44,680
Speaker 1: But what you want is I show up with a

1481
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: product and people are freely choosing to buy my product

1482
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 1: at the end, and that that is the driving force

1483
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: behind the transactions. Socialism inherently true socialism where the means

1484
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 1: of production are controlled by this state, and usually by

1485
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 1: some kind of central committee, you know, some kind of

1486
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 1: dictatorship of the proletariat. They're different versions of really the

1487
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 1: same thing. It's never really the proletariatives, you know. But

1488
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,679
Speaker 1: it inverts that relationship. It perverts that relationship, and therefore

1489
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: you will always have dislocations and dysfunctions in the marketplace.

1490
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,640
Speaker 1: That's a little a little basic Von meanses. We'll get

1491
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 1: into more von mess another time, team, but I do

1492
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: think that we should get into more probably be the

1493
01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:33,320
Speaker 1: third hour of the show. This time on the show

1494
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 1: because I know we've got to cover the news of

1495
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: the day, and I need to make good on the

1496
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 1: promise that we have for all of our radio stations

1497
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 1: across the country that people who tune in will get

1498
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 1: the news of the day, which we always do. But

1499
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to dig deeper into this because I think

1500
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:50,680
Speaker 1: that the more the more we can learn about socialism

1501
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,559
Speaker 1: together and the history of it, the ideology of it,

1502
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: the structure of it, the more we realize what an

1503
01:25:55,880 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 1: unfathomably bad idea it is for this country. Global Apician

1504
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: Network the only dual certified, veteran owned background investigation and

1505
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:07,639
Speaker 1: vetting company. I'm a big believer in making sure that

1506
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 1: you do all of the due diligence necessary on any

1507
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:13,600
Speaker 1: deals you've got going on for business, on any employees,

1508
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 1: any hires you're bringing into your office or to your

1509
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:19,799
Speaker 1: place of work, and you need the right people working

1510
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 1: with you on that. That's Global Verification Network. If you

1511
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,680
Speaker 1: are currently working in HR somewhere, or if you're a

1512
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:28,480
Speaker 1: small business owner all the way up to the CEO,

1513
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 1: you want to call Global Verification Network and tell them

1514
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 1: about your background investigation needs. They can work with you.

1515

Speaker 1: but they have offices throughout the country, and the risk

1518
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,880
Speaker 1: mitigation experts of Global Verification Network are the best in

1519
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 1: the business. Go to MYGVN dot com. That's MYGVN dot

1520
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 1: com or call eight seven seven six nine five one

1521
01:26:56,560 --> 01:27:00,080
Speaker 1: one seven nine Global Verification Network. Leave no stone unturned.

1522
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,600
Speaker 1: We're going to be issuing an emergency order of prohibition

1523
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 1: to ground to all flights of the seven thirty seven

1524
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 1: Max eight and the seven thirty seven Max nine and

1525
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:18,640
Speaker 1: planes associated with that line. Any plane currently in the

1526
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:21,679
Speaker 1: air will go to its destination and thereafter be grounded

1527
01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 1: until further noticed. So planes that are in the air

1528
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 1: will be grounded if they're the seven thirty seven Max

1529
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:35,120
Speaker 1: will be grounded upon landing at the destination. Pilots have

1530
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:41,200
Speaker 1: been notified, airlines have been all notified. Airlines are agreeing

1531
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 1: with this. The safety of the American people and all

1532
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 1: people is our paramount concern. Boeing has grounded it's a

1533
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 1: seven thirty seven Max planes after this terrible tragedy in

1534
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:58,720
Speaker 1: Ethiopia where you had over one hundred and fifty or

1535
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:03,400
Speaker 1: was one hundred and fifty seven people killed shortly after

1536
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 1: it took off from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. And now

1537
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 1: people are really worried that these this one type of plane,

1538
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 1: the seven thirty seven Max, may have a a lethal

1539
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 1: flaw in the electronics, in the in the design of

1540
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 1: this very advanced aircraft in some way, which is why

1541
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:25,800
Speaker 1: they're grounding these. You know, I know people gave that,

1542
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 1: they gave President Trump a very hard time for what

1543
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:34,639
Speaker 1: he wrote on on Twitter about this. Uh here I'll

1544
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 1: give you, I'll give you exactly the tweet. He said, uh,

1545
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 1: this is a very a very Trump tweet, and he said,

1546
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 1: um that he thinks essentially that these planes are getting

1547
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 1: too advanced, too and too complicated. Actually, for some reason,

1548
01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:54,559
Speaker 1: I'm not able to I'm not able to find this

1549
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 1: one right now. But oh, here we go. Airplanes are

1550
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 1: becoming far too complex to why pilots are no longer

1551
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:06,080
Speaker 1: needed but rather computer scientists from mit I see it

1552
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 1: all the time in many products, always seeking to go

1553
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 1: one unnecessary step further when often old and simpler is

1554
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:16,920
Speaker 1: far better. Split second decisions are needed, and the complexity

1555
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,639
Speaker 1: creates danger. All this for great costs get very little gain.

1556
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I don't want Albert

1557
01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 1: Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying

1558
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:29,439
Speaker 1: professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control

1559
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:32,799
Speaker 1: of a plane. So people gave him a really hard

1560
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 1: time on this one. You know, they really gave the

1561
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:39,599
Speaker 1: Trumpster some rough stuff over this. But I will say

1562
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:44,040
Speaker 1: that I read years ago a piece I think it

1563
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 1: might have been in Business Insider, and it was looking

1564
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 1: at why this, Yeah, that's right, Air France. Here we go,

1565
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:57,880
Speaker 1: Air France four four seven. And this was from the

1566
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 1: early hours of June two thousand and nine when Air

1567
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 1: France flight four four seven from Rio to Paris went

1568
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:09,559
Speaker 1: missing and it just crashed and got killed two hundred

1569
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:13,760
Speaker 1: twenty eight people on board, and there were there was

1570
01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 1: crew error here, so so they the pilot did make

1571
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 1: a mistake, but that when they looked at them, they

1572
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 1: looked at the error and how it caused the error.

1573
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:30,840
Speaker 1: It's because of the side stick. The control of the

1574
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 1: stick rather used in these airbus cockpits, and it's a

1575
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:40,599
Speaker 1: very small lever and it doesn't feel like something that

1576
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:42,960
Speaker 1: you know you you when you pull down on it

1577
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:45,320
Speaker 1: to go up, it just feels like it's too small

1578
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:47,600
Speaker 1: to be controlling the plane. It doesn't give you the

1579
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:54,000
Speaker 1: real feel of this plane. And here I can This

1580
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:57,599
Speaker 1: is from this business insider piece. Air France four four

1581
01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 1: seven was four hours into its eleven hour overnight journey

1582
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:06,240
Speaker 1: when it was overwhelmed by disaster. Two hours in Mark Dubois.

1583
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:09,839
Speaker 1: The veteran captain was heading for a routine break. His deputy,

1584
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 1: David Robert, a seasoned flyer with sixty five hundred flying

1585
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:16,240
Speaker 1: hours under his belt, was perfectly capable of coping with

1586
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 1: the tropical thunderstorm. As the airliner entered the worst of

1587
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:24,520
Speaker 1: the weather, Bona told the cabin crew to prepare for turbulence.

1588
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 1: Eight minutes later, everyone on board would be dead. Himself

1589
01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:31,639
Speaker 1: seems to have been spooked, calling attention to a metallic

1590
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 1: smell and an eerie glow in the cockpit. A few

1591
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 1: minutes later, the outside air temperature plummeted, the peto tubes

1592
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:43,000
Speaker 1: iced up, and an alarm sounded. This is a really

1593
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: harrowing story when they go into how this all happened

1594
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:49,479
Speaker 1: and how this just this jumbo jetliner ended up crashing,

1595
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:52,240
Speaker 1: killing everybody on board. And when they finally did the

1596
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:56,719
Speaker 1: analysis of it, it came down to the tiny little

1597
01:31:56,800 --> 01:32:03,600
Speaker 1: joystick didn't didn't feel like it was really controlling the

1598
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:05,599
Speaker 1: plane to the pilot. It's kind of hard to explain,

1599
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:07,519
Speaker 1: but you know, when you have an actual you hold

1600
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 1: with both hands, you pull down, the plane goes up.

1601
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 1: A tiny little joystick that you just move with one finger,

1602
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 1: it just didn't There were some pilot skills that didn't

1603
01:32:16,439 --> 01:32:19,599
Speaker 1: kick in. They had one final exchange where the one

1604
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:21,960
Speaker 1: pilot said climb, climb, climb, and the other said, but

1605
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 1: I've had to stick back the whole time, and then

1606
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 1: another pilot said, no, no, don't climb, No, no descend,

1607
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 1: give me the controls, give me the controls, and then

1608
01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 1: damn it, we're going to crash. This can't be happening.

1609
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 1: What's going on? Ten degrees of pitch and then the

1610
01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 1: recording gainst Air travel is very safe, my friends, but

1611
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 1: we still take risk every time we get up in

1612
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:50,000
Speaker 1: the sky thirty five thousand feet or whatever, and even

1613
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:53,400
Speaker 1: the most advanced systems can fail. And ultimately, you really

1614
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 1: want somebody in that cockpit who really knows what they're

1615
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 1: doing really understands not just the systems of the plane,

1616
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:02,720
Speaker 1: but the base a flight. And there's gonna be a

1617
01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: lot of questions asked about this bowing system going forward.

1618
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: That much is for sure. We have roll call coming

1619
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 1: up your team in just a minute. Stay with me.

1620
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 1: Do you miss being on the show or is it

1621
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,160
Speaker 1: such a different time that it would be a different

1622
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't miss it. You know, everything now is people

1623
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 1: don't like your politics. They everyone has to know your politics.

1624
01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:29,519
Speaker 1: When I kind of use Johnny's model, people couldn't figure out,

1625
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:31,960
Speaker 1: well you and your Republican friends, well, mister, when you're

1626
01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: Democratic buddies, I will and I would get hate mail

1627
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 1: from both sides equally. And I watched, well that's fabulous,

1628
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:39,200
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I want. But when people see your

1629
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 1: one sided, it just makes it tough. And plus, you know,

1630
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 1: I did it when you know, Clinton was horny and

1631
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 1: Bush was dumb, and it was just a little easier,

1632
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, you know, now it's all very serious. It's

1633
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:56,400
Speaker 1: everything is just so so now. I just like to

1634
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:58,840
Speaker 1: see a bit of civility come back to it. You know,

1635
01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 1: hate to say it, but I miss Jay Leno, or

1636
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:08,160
Speaker 1: at least Jay Leno's approach. What he described there is

1637
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:11,840
Speaker 1: the way comedians should be. They should be devoted to

1638
01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:13,960
Speaker 1: their craft. They should be trying to make people laugh.

1639
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:25,719
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be a nasty virtue signaling opposition propaganda against

1640
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:28,400
Speaker 1: Trump all the time, which is what it is. That's

1641
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 1: what comedians have become. That's what they do. And journalism

1642
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:33,880
Speaker 1: is dead in this country. Comedy is dead in this

1643
01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:37,000
Speaker 1: country now. There are very few places where you can

1644
01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:42,200
Speaker 1: go and get real comedy that's just meant to make

1645
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:45,799
Speaker 1: you laugh, that's not trying to preach, that's not trying

1646
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:50,639
Speaker 1: to engage in some kind of moral preening on stage.

1647
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:54,479
Speaker 1: Or it's also left wing all the time. And you know,

1648
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:58,040
Speaker 1: this country is really has really been overtaken by a

1649
01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:03,799
Speaker 1: kind of mass psychosis where I mean, liberals just cannot

1650
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 1: handle things that disagree with them or where they where

1651
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:11,599
Speaker 1: they don't like them. You know, liberals just can't handle

1652
01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:14,439
Speaker 1: ideas that bother them. They just can't do it. I mean,

1653
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:18,559
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure they are up for it, you know,

1654
01:35:18,600 --> 01:35:21,599
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure it's something that they can they

1655
01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:24,680
Speaker 1: can process anymore, which is why they feel so justified

1656
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 1: in acting like every idea that makes them uncomfortable as

1657
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 1: a threat to the state is a threat to the

1658
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 1: integrity of this country and to our underlying values. They

1659
01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 1: don't have a way of dealing with of processing thoughts

1660
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:45,200
Speaker 1: that bother them and that upset them. And you know,

1661
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:48,000
Speaker 1: I just I wish it that was not the case.

1662
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 1: And it also is unfortunate because nothing can be funny anymore.

1663
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:54,599
Speaker 1: You can't make jokes. I can't tell you how many

1664
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 1: times on this show. I always feel very free because

1665
01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:00,599
Speaker 1: I know who's listening to the show. I know you

1666
01:36:00,680 --> 01:36:03,000
Speaker 1: who are listening to the show. But you know, we've

1667
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:06,479
Speaker 1: had some Yeah, we've had some media matters, people that

1668
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:10,320
Speaker 1: tune in. We've had some you know, some bad folks

1669
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:13,040
Speaker 1: that try to do oppo research based on what I say.

1670
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 1: The good news is I'm smarter than all of them,

1671
01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 1: and no more than all of them, and so they

1672
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:21,080
Speaker 1: really have to misconstrue what I say or try to

1673
01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:23,320
Speaker 1: come up with some explanation, and they definitely don't want

1674
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:27,160
Speaker 1: to ever debate me. I can't find a forum where

1675
01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:30,439
Speaker 1: I can really debate libs on the issues in a

1676
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:33,960
Speaker 1: meaningful way. It just doesn't seem to exist anymore. They

1677
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:37,559
Speaker 1: just won't do it, And those of you were saying, Buck,

1678
01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:40,080
Speaker 1: what about rising the show you do for the Hill?

1679
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:43,360
Speaker 1: I just say, no, that's different because the mission of

1680
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:49,040
Speaker 1: that show is both perspectives, but news that is down

1681
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:51,800
Speaker 1: the middle. That is what I signed on for. It

1682
01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:54,960
Speaker 1: is not a it's not really a debate show. It's

1683
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:59,080
Speaker 1: not Hannity and Combs, it's not crossfire. It's this is

1684
01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:00,720
Speaker 1: how the right sees it, this is how the left

1685
01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 1: sees it, and it's presenting both points of view. How

1686
01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 1: well does that work? I mean, I leave that up

1687
01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:07,400
Speaker 1: to you as the viewer, for those of you who

1688
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:09,760
Speaker 1: watch it. But I don't get to do what I

1689
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 1: normally would do, which is dismantle arguments and when necessary,

1690
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 1: crush stupidity that has presented to me, because that's not

1691
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:20,840
Speaker 1: the mission of that show. Right. It's like if I'm

1692
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:24,360
Speaker 1: going in to teach a class somewhere, I'm not as

1693
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 1: the professor. I'm not there to ridicule the ideas of

1694
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:30,839
Speaker 1: the kids. I'm there to teach them things and answer

1695
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:33,759
Speaker 1: their questions. So if I start going after the kids

1696
01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:37,839
Speaker 1: for saying stupid things, I'm not doing my job anyway.

1697
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 1: I just comedy is another one of these areas where

1698
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:49,480
Speaker 1: there's really just such a such a dearth of good material.

1699
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 1: And it's because any joke now you get in trouble from.

1700
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 1: Everything is racist, everything is sexist. One day, I'll tell

1701
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 1: you all about some of the behind the scenes corporate

1702
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:03,200
Speaker 1: stuff that I've had to deal with in terms of

1703
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:06,000
Speaker 1: not not some of it involving me, most of it

1704
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:08,840
Speaker 1: not where someone will say, well, can you really say

1705
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:14,040
Speaker 1: that not on radio? I'm very thankful that my radio

1706
01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 1: bosses understand that what I do requires a tremendous amount

1707
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:19,639
Speaker 1: of freedom, and I stand by my words, and they

1708
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 1: stand by my right to stand by my words. But

1709
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:23,880
Speaker 1: in some of the other you know, I worked at

1710
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,720
Speaker 1: CNN for a little while. Some of this stuff that

1711
01:38:26,760 --> 01:38:29,040
Speaker 1: I was told beyond the scenes he can and can't say,

1712
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 1: and everything, it's just it's just all nonsense. Man. I

1713
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:33,760
Speaker 1: just want to live in a country where we have

1714
01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:38,000
Speaker 1: freedom of speech, freedom of thought. I want real individual liberty,

1715
01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:40,439
Speaker 1: and I want everyone to grow up on the left

1716
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:43,680
Speaker 1: and stop being such a bunch of huge babies, and

1717
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:46,040
Speaker 1: let's all actually be able to laugh again. How about that?

1718
01:38:46,040 --> 01:38:48,760
Speaker 1: It wouldn't that be crazy? Jay Leno's right. They all

1719
01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:51,800
Speaker 1: want to know your politics and it's just nuts. Ain't

1720
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:54,719
Speaker 1: no party like a Team Buck party, because a Team

1721
01:38:54,800 --> 01:39:04,200
Speaker 1: Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got Buck turned up

1722
01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:21,680
Speaker 1: to eleven. It's time for roll Call. It is indeed

1723
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:26,600
Speaker 1: time for Roll Call. Facebook dot com slashbox Sexton. You

1724
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:29,559
Speaker 1: know how we roll, You know how we do. I've

1725
01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:32,160
Speaker 1: got some travel coming up, so that means I'll be

1726
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:34,400
Speaker 1: doing the show from well, at least not in the

1727
01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:37,120
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, but later on some interesting and

1728
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:40,800
Speaker 1: slightly exotic locale. So we'll have Roll Call coming to

1729
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:42,680
Speaker 1: you live from wherever the heck I happened to be.

1730
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:45,800
Speaker 1: But all in due time, my friends, Facebook dot com

1731
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:49,639
Speaker 1: slash buck Sexton, fill up rights, Hey Buck. I just

1732
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:53,880
Speaker 1: looked up Dan Crenshaw's bio and it seems he was

1733
01:39:53,960 --> 01:39:59,320
Speaker 1: born in Aberdeen, Scotland, So unfortunately we won't be hearing

1734
01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:03,800
Speaker 1: Crenshaw twenty twenty four. Is that true? I did not

1735
01:40:04,040 --> 01:40:09,840
Speaker 1: I did not know this. He Oh my gosh, he

1736
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:12,120
Speaker 1: was born in the UK. But was he born to

1737
01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:15,719
Speaker 1: a I got to look up his bio. I'm I'm shocked.

1738
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 1: Not Look, this isn't a big deal, but it certainly

1739
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:24,800
Speaker 1: he seems to matter a bit he uh, where was

1740
01:40:24,840 --> 01:40:27,040
Speaker 1: his dad? That's interesting. Let me look into this a

1741
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 1: little bit. Let me look into his bio, his background

1742
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:32,640
Speaker 1: in terms of you know, was his dad a a

1743
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:35,840
Speaker 1: US citizen abroad for the government or something. I don't know.

1744
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:38,160
Speaker 1: I gotta look into this, but I did not know

1745
01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:40,479
Speaker 1: he was born on four and soil. That is very interesting.

1746
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:43,000
Speaker 1: So thank you for see the team is always bringing

1747
01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:46,880
Speaker 1: me all kinds of knowledge here. Patrick. Now keep in

1748
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:49,520
Speaker 1: mind that there are people who say that Ted Cruise,

1749
01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 1: Ted Cruise was going to be a problem for president.

1750
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:56,840
Speaker 1: There's it's kind of an unsettled question here, folks. When

1751
01:40:56,880 --> 01:41:00,679
Speaker 1: people say a natural born citizen Ted rus is born

1752
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:06,040
Speaker 1: in Canada. Yep, mister, I'm from Texas and I love

1753
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:10,759
Speaker 1: the constitution. That Ted Cruz, you know, the guy who's

1754
01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 1: more Texas than any Texan I know, even though he's

1755
01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 1: a Cuban Cuban parentage and born in Canada. Yes he is.

1756
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 1: Some people say not eligible to run for the presidency.

1757
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:27,559
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I'm just putting that out there. Patrick writes,

1758
01:41:27,600 --> 01:41:30,040
Speaker 1: Buck I drive an uber in Middletown, Connecticut. I get

1759
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:34,040
Speaker 1: the pleasure to transport social justice warriors from Wesleyan University

1760
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:36,680
Speaker 1: on a daily basis. Needless to say, I get my

1761
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:39,040
Speaker 1: own version of justice by making them listen to conservative

1762
01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 1: radio here in the Trump Mobile. That's awesome, man. Thank you.

1763
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:45,240
Speaker 1: That bit you did this morning with AOC full of

1764
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 1: ooms and likes nearly made me crash into a telephone pole.

1765
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:51,200
Speaker 1: I laughed out loud, and they were not amused. Keep

1766
01:41:51,280 --> 01:41:54,600
Speaker 1: up the great work, shields I Patrick, Well, Patrick, I

1767
01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:57,479
Speaker 1: just want to say that it is my hope that

1768
01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:01,439
Speaker 1: perhaps via your Trump Mobile up in Middletown, Connecticut, we

1769
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:05,680
Speaker 1: can win over some of these social justice warriors to

1770
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:11,240
Speaker 1: reason and knowledge and wisdom. Just keep making them listen

1771
01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:12,680
Speaker 1: to the show. You should blast it a little bit

1772
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:18,000
Speaker 1: more and maybe we'll get them to figure out what

1773
01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:23,719
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to figure out so far. Cindy, whoop, Cindy,

1774
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:26,760
Speaker 1: it's loading for some reason on my screen, taking extra

1775
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:29,000
Speaker 1: Oh here we go, hi Buck. My take on the

1776
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:33,559
Speaker 1: college scandal is this, both students and parents knew what

1777
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:36,280
Speaker 1: they were doing. How could they not? And the issue

1778
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: is not just fraud but also disenfranchising other students who

1779
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:44,599
Speaker 1: were not legitimately allowed entrance because some cheater took their slot.

1780
01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:48,439
Speaker 1: So to speak. These cheating students should immediately be required

1781
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 1: to reapply to the school legitimately, and if they meet

1782
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 1: all the Entrance Centers and Requirements Act, SAT grades, essays, interviews, whatever,

1783
01:42:57,160 --> 01:43:00,960
Speaker 1: they may continue with their education at set University. If not, however,

1784
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 1: they should be allowed to finish out the current term

1785
01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:07,800
Speaker 1: and then exited from the university. Parents should not be

1786
01:43:07,920 --> 01:43:10,960
Speaker 1: able to buy their child's admittance to the university since

1787
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:14,639
Speaker 1: they perpetuated fraud and should be prosecuted and fined. Those

1788
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:17,160
Speaker 1: fines should go to scholarship funds for low income students.

1789
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:20,160
Speaker 1: Really enjoy your show, Cindy, Well, thank you, Cindy. I

1790
01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:22,880
Speaker 1: agree with a lot of what you said. I just

1791
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:27,800
Speaker 1: think it's important that we separate out the different schemes

1792
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:31,360
Speaker 1: and artifices that were used here to gain illicit admission

1793
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 1: for different people that are covered in this indictment. And

1794
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:38,640
Speaker 1: as I have been discussing here on the show, it

1795
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:41,080
Speaker 1: is well known that if you write a big enough

1796
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 1: check and people say it's around the five to ten

1797
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:49,519
Speaker 1: million dollar range for top tier schools, if you write

1798
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 1: a big enough check to the school, you can buy

1799
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:53,200
Speaker 1: your way in. That has been well known for a

1800
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:58,439
Speaker 1: long time. Everybody. Everybody knows this. So if you can

1801
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:03,479
Speaker 1: buy your way into this school, then what is it

1802
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:06,760
Speaker 1: really that we're talking about here in terms of defrauding

1803
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:11,320
Speaker 1: the other students. Now, this is where the schools have

1804
01:44:11,439 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 1: the right to sell these things be you know, and

1805
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:17,960
Speaker 1: that's what's important, is that this is essentially their property.

1806
01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:20,360
Speaker 1: That these slots are the property of the school, and

1807
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:24,000
Speaker 1: they're a valuable thing. They're a thing of value that

1808
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:26,200
Speaker 1: comes into play, to be sure. But when when you

1809
01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:29,360
Speaker 1: look at the way that the federal government does play

1810
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:33,800
Speaker 1: in this sandbox, you know, look at what they do

1811
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:39,800
Speaker 1: with Title MIND regulation and these campus sexual assault tribunals

1812
01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:42,320
Speaker 1: and all these different things. That's all federal regulation on

1813
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:45,880
Speaker 1: the campus is based in the fact that the colleges

1814
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:52,320
Speaker 1: rely on federal loan guarantees, federal student for federal student

1815
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:55,360
Speaker 1: loans rather so that kids can even go to these schools.

1816
01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:58,680
Speaker 1: So there's federal money going into the program. So this

1817
01:44:58,760 --> 01:45:04,360
Speaker 1: becomes a very tangled legal web very quickly. So you know,

1818
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:07,200
Speaker 1: I think that some aspects of this are good and

1819
01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:12,960
Speaker 1: some aspects are right, and you know, it depends on

1820
01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 1: how we I mean in terms of the prosecution and

1821
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:18,639
Speaker 1: what's going on here. So it's a lot of layers

1822
01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:20,599
Speaker 1: and it's really a music though it is the good news.

1823
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:23,640
Speaker 1: The story is about what's going on with this admission

1824
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:27,240
Speaker 1: scam stuff or pretty entertaining, so that we got that

1825
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:30,320
Speaker 1: going for us, Michael Write, writes Buck, it's been hard

1826
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:31,640
Speaker 1: to listen to the last couple of days when you

1827
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:34,120
Speaker 1: talk about the legal immigration. It makes me so mad

1828
01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:36,719
Speaker 1: when I hear about the situation and how it seems

1829
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 1: almost impossible for us to change it. It's very demoralizing,

1830
01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:42,519
Speaker 1: and sometimes I have to fast forward the podcast because

1831
01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:44,719
Speaker 1: it seems like we are losing the fight. But today

1832
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:47,519
Speaker 1: I was watching a recent YouTube video of Shapiro University

1833
01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:49,639
Speaker 1: of Michigan, and I saw the crowd and it gives

1834
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:52,439
Speaker 1: me a little hope. Then I heard Rush mentioned he

1835
01:45:52,479 --> 01:45:54,680
Speaker 1: was doing an interview with him, and I know you

1836
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:56,680
Speaker 1: filled in for Rush from time to time. Makes me

1837
01:45:56,680 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 1: feel good to know you and Shapiro, on the other

1838
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:01,719
Speaker 1: young and talented conservatives are creating such great content backed

1839
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:04,720
Speaker 1: by reason and founding principles, and so many people are

1840
01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:08,080
Speaker 1: gravitating towards It brings me hope that maybe we're slowly

1841
01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 1: starting to win the hearts and minds of a new generation.

1842
01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,040
Speaker 1: I wish you would get out there more on YouTube

1843
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:14,440
Speaker 1: or on other shows because you're so good at articulating

1844
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:17,120
Speaker 1: arguments that are focused and easy to understand. Keep up

1845
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:20,599
Speaker 1: the good work, Shields High, Michael, thank you so much,

1846
01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:24,480
Speaker 1: and I do appreciate that, and I have plans additional

1847
01:46:24,479 --> 01:46:28,360
Speaker 1: plans for the future that will be enacted soon. I

1848
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:31,320
Speaker 1: hope as to more platforms and more ways to get

1849
01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 1: out there and do more stuff. So thank you, thank you.

1850
01:46:36,240 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 1: Kimberly writes, I'm all in on Crenshaw twenty twenty four.

1851
01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:43,439
Speaker 1: That would be so awesome. Well, Kim, I was too

1852
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 1: until I found out that he wasn't born in America.

1853
01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:48,920
Speaker 1: Could could be a little bit of a problem, could

1854
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 1: be an issue natural born citizen folks. That's that's the

1855
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:58,200
Speaker 1: that's the language, and you know people and subject the

1856
01:46:58,280 --> 01:47:02,040
Speaker 1: jurisdiction thereof right, So there's some stuff here, there's some

1857
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:06,440
Speaker 1: stuff here. Matt writes, Buck, could you do a buckbrief

1858
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:11,439
Speaker 1: on the mission and origin of the Young Turks? They

1859
01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:15,760
Speaker 1: seem to become ever more influential with the rise of AOC. Well,

1860
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:17,280
Speaker 1: I have to look into the group. I mean, they're

1861
01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 1: basically a bunch of far left commies who are using

1862
01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:25,400
Speaker 1: the Internet to substantial effect to build an audience of

1863
01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:32,559
Speaker 1: incredibly ignorant quasi socialist hashtag resistance folks, and I'll look

1864
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:35,120
Speaker 1: into them more. But they really know, it's not that different.

1865
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:38,120
Speaker 1: It's just another version of what you already see among

1866
01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:40,600
Speaker 1: the Nation and Salon dot com and other people on

1867
01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:43,439
Speaker 1: the far left, where it's a lot of a mixture

1868
01:47:43,640 --> 01:47:50,760
Speaker 1: of virtue signaling, identity, politics, socialism, and they're just doing

1869
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:54,679
Speaker 1: it better with social media than some of these other

1870
01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 1: groups are. And that's that's something that we'll continue to

1871
01:47:57,000 --> 01:47:58,720
Speaker 1: see and look at. I have a feeling that the

1872
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 1: young Turks and I will be crossing swords, so to speak,

1873
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:09,080
Speaker 1: in the future. Scott rights, Good evening, Buck. Catching up

1874
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:11,440
Speaker 1: on the podcast. You mentioned that you'll be going to China.

1875
01:48:11,479 --> 01:48:14,200
Speaker 1: On my first trip through China, I found myself unable

1876
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:16,920
Speaker 1: to connect to my Gmail nor use Google Maps and

1877
01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:20,519
Speaker 1: Facebook all my most recent trip, I used Google Google

1878
01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:25,479
Speaker 1: Fi's phone service. The Chinese seller service Google contracted through

1879
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:27,559
Speaker 1: does not limit or sense or what sites you visit.

1880
01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 1: Another alternative is to use a VPN shields Hie. Scott, Well,

1881
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:34,160
Speaker 1: thanks Scott, I got to look into all this stuff

1882
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:39,320
Speaker 1: and find out how I can stay in communication and

1883
01:48:40,200 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 1: be able to do what I need to do when

1884
01:48:41,320 --> 01:48:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to China, although I haven't even gotten my

1885
01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:46,519
Speaker 1: travel arrangement squared away yet, so it might take me

1886
01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:48,800
Speaker 1: a little time. But there might be some Team Buck

1887
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:53,920
Speaker 1: China stuff going on that is certainly the plan. Let's

1888
01:48:54,000 --> 01:49:01,120
Speaker 1: see here, Caroline rights, Hey Buck who I love your

1889
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:03,840
Speaker 1: segment on and then there we go. I love your

1890
01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:05,880
Speaker 1: segment on the elite college scandal. You'll never guess from

1891
01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:09,479
Speaker 1: got into Harvard with mediocre SAT scores. David hag Yes,

1892
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:12,360
Speaker 1: a kid from Parkland High School, capitalize on the shooting

1893
01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:14,519
Speaker 1: tragedy to thrust his anti gun fist in the air

1894
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:18,160
Speaker 1: and propel his otherwise lackluster self into the elite IVY League.

1895
01:49:18,160 --> 01:49:21,360
Speaker 1: We'll see where it gets him Shields High. Carolyn, Yeah,

1896
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:23,920
Speaker 1: we'll Carolyn. Harvard's allowed to admit whoever they want, and

1897
01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:26,840
Speaker 1: they all these schools take in people that I think

1898
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:29,680
Speaker 1: you would find to be very unimpressive. And you know,

1899
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:34,000
Speaker 1: we see look look at Al Gore, look at George W. Bush.

1900
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:37,080
Speaker 1: I know he's a Republican, folks, but not exactly a

1901
01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:40,160
Speaker 1: brain scientist. Let's just be honest. You know, these people

1902
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:43,840
Speaker 1: go to the most elite institutions, and Barack Obama graduated

1903
01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:47,639
Speaker 1: from Harvard Law School, was editor in chief of Harvard

1904
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:50,639
Speaker 1: Law Review. Not a legal scholar in any way, shape

1905
01:49:50,680 --> 01:49:54,720
Speaker 1: or form, not somebody who's particularly articulate or well versed

1906
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:57,640
Speaker 1: in the law, and yet he managed to be the

1907
01:49:57,720 --> 01:49:59,599
Speaker 1: editor in chief of Harvard Law Review. So when someone

1908
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:03,080
Speaker 1: explained that to me, well, well, we can figure out

1909
01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:07,040
Speaker 1: the explanations. So you know, this is a really interesting

1910
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:09,280
Speaker 1: eye opening moment for the country about what's really going

1911
01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:11,840
Speaker 1: on in these programs and in these schools. And I

1912
01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:13,880
Speaker 1: do think it's worthy of debate and discussion. So I

1913
01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:17,240
Speaker 1: think we should continue to put some focus on that.

1914
01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:21,439
Speaker 1: And speaking of focus, let's focus on the show tomorrow,

1915
01:50:21,439 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 1: because that's the next one we've got. Please share the podcast, folks,
