1
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Trump arrangement syndrome is

2
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: all too real. The Democrats have lost their minds, not

3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: just about the current president and Russia collusion and the

4
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: fight between Congress and the executive branch, but also on

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: climate change and a whole host of other issues. We're

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: going to try to help them with a little therapy

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: through truth today on The buck Sexton Show. That and

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: much more coming up. This is the buck Sexton Show,

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Mag No mistake, American, You're a

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: great American Again, the buck Sexton Show begins. No, Welcome

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: to the buck Sexton Show. Everybody, great to have you here.

13
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: I wanted to start with something maybe a little a

14
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: little different today. I want to start with a premise

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: we often discuss here on the show, the ways in

16
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: which I think the liberals, the progressives, the left in

17
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: this country are detached from reality, that they have lost

18
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: it in some way, that there is a mass hysteria

19
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: well extraordinary popular delusions. In the Madness of Crowds by

20
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: Charles Mackie, which was published back in eighteen forty one,

21
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: has a quote that I wanted to start off the

22
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: show with today because I think as you hear it,

23
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,639
Speaker 1: you'll think, huh, so, it is possible for a large

24
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: portion of a country's population to effectively lose it on

25
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: an issue. Here's what he wrote. This is the nineteenth

26
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: century Scotsman. In the reading of the history of nations,

27
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: we find that, like individuals, they have their whims and

28
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: their peculiarities, their seasons of excitement and recklessness when they

29
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: care not what they do. We find that whole communities

30
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: suddenly fix their minds upon one object and go mad

31
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: in its pursuit. That millions of people become simultaneously impressed

32
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: with one delusion and run after it till their attention

33
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first.

34
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: Sober nations have all at once become desperate gamblers, and

35
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: risked almost their existence upon the turn of a piece

36
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: of paper men. It has been well said, think in herds.

37
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: It will be seen that they go mad in herds

38
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: while they only recover their senses slowly and one by one. Yep,

39
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: doesn't that sound like the modern Democratic Party to you?

40
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: They've gone mad in a herd, and we can only

41
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: bring them back one by one. But they are in

42
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: the grips of a total delusion, a delusion that Donald

43
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Trump worked with the Russians, even though the evidence now

44
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: shows them. They have been presented with over four hundred

45
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: pages of evidence and two plus years of feverish speculation

46
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: and unbounded analytic craziness from all the major newspapers and networks,

47
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: and with a few left out of that about how

48
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: this was just going to be a day of destruction

49
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: for Trump when the truth was fondly found. Now the

50
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: truth is out, and guess what, they refuse to accept

51
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: it as the truth. But I do start to think

52
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: that liberalism has morphed because of all the different echo

53
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: chambers that it can rely on, because of the minence

54
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: that it has in much of American culture, and certainly

55
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: the American media landscape is ninety percent liberal. Colleges are liberal. Increasingly,

56
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: the federal government is full of liberals. And with all

57
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: of this happening, it seems clear to me that there

58
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: is a real condition here, a kind of psychological medical

59
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: condition known as liberalism that for a lot of people,

60
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: it goes from being an organizing an organizing philosophy for

61
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: different ideas and policy theories to something a bit more clinical.

62
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: And if you think that that's an exaggeration, I just

63
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 1: bring you that there is now for climate change, which

64
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: is another area of abject hysteria for liberals. I mean

65
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: they think that it's okay they advocate for terrifying ten

66
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: year olds into thinking the world will end in ten years,

67
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 1: and they don't see a problem with this. And in fact,

68
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: once they have successfully brainwashed those ten year olds, they

69
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: will deploy them. They will deploy them to harangue you

70
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: and me, to browbeat us into submission. And if you

71
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: have any problem with this, if you say I don't

72
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: think the world's really going to end in ten years,

73
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: this is crazy. They say, Oh, you're one of those Trumpsters,

74
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: aren't you just always running around with your maga hat

75
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: on supporting Trump. No, I'm just not somebody that has

76
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: lost it. And that's the way you have to speak

77
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: about this. Now, let me share with you a piece

78
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: published today in CNN of all places, and it's about

79
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: climate change anxiety. How this is now becoming a crippling

80
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: fear for otherwise functioning adults. They have been so propagandized,

81
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: they have been so brainwashed by the left wing Democrat

82
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: media industrial complex that they are terrified. They are literally

83
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: losing sleep and crying because the world is going to

84
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: end because of climate change. Kind of like the elderly

85
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: people that couldn't sleep at night because they're worried they

86
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: would have their last day on Earth before the Mueller

87
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: report came out. These are not normal thoughts. This is

88
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: these are not the mental processes of people that are

89
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: well adjusted. Something has gone wrong here. The synapses are misfiring.

90
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: Here's this piece about climate change anxiety. You could also

91
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: call it hysteria from CNN quote a student in Wendy

92
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: Peterson Boring's climate change class said she woke up at

93
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: two am and then cried for two solid hours about

94
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: the warming ocean. This is a computer science major, Boring said. Boring,

95
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: an associate professor of History, Religious Studies, Women in Gender

96
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: Studies of Course at Willamette University in Oregon, has been

97
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: teaching about climate change for a little over a decade.

98
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: In that short time, she has watched her students fear, grief, stress,

99
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: and anxiety grow. Back in two thousand and seven, it

100
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: was the mouse in the room, then it became the

101
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: elephant in the room. By twenty sixteen, those concerns and

102
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: fears began to flood over. I'm just telling you what's

103
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: being reported by liberals about their state of mind. They've

104
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: got a problem. They've got a problem when it comes

105
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: to Trump. They've got a problem when it comes to

106
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: climate change. They are in the grips of what Mackie

107
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: described in the nineteenth century as a mass delusion. And

108
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: people don't like to admit this. They don't want to

109
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: unravel this in their own brains, because no one wants

110
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: to think that they could fall for some silly conspiracy

111
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: theory and have it overtake their their thoughts and their

112
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: sense of well being and change their relationships with people.

113
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: I see this happening all the time. I hear people

114
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: say that, you know, oh, I came across another person

115
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: who says, you know, he or she won't date a

116
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: Trump supporter. What kind of nonsense is that? What kind

117
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: of narrow minded political bigotry has the left embraced while

118
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: it's now pervasive. It's so pervasive that the American Psychological Association, Sure,

119
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: that's an interesting bunch to go on a junket with

120
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: the Vegas. They created a sixty nine page climate change

121
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: guide to help mental health providers. That's right. Now psychologists

122
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: are having to create documents to deal with the apparently

123
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: very real psychological condition of climate change hysteria. When are

124
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: liberals going to tone it down and back off a

125
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: little bit? How much is too much? I think it's

126
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: only going to get worse. I wish I could tell

127
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: you that I had a belief that they would finally

128
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: recognize how counterproductive this is, how insane all of this is.

129
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: But no, that is that is not the case. You

130
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: have this, uh, this species die off news cycle from

131
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: earlier in the week about how you know, all a

132
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,359
Speaker 1: million species are at risk of dying a million species

133
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: because because of us, because of human beings. And now

134
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: we're supposed to dramatically change This isn't just stuff that

135
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: is theoretical. We're going to change our lifestyle, change our economies,

136
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: change our political systems to deal with the threat of

137
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: species die off because of climate change. You know, it's

138
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 1: either Trump is going to ruin the world cause a

139
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: nuclear war destroy America, or climate change is going to

140
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: end the world. Can we just figure out like a

141
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: better way to do drug pricing and you know, maybe

142
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: make some more efficient choices in the school system. I mean,

143
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: can we have normal political conversation at some point or

144
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: is it always, oh my gosh, we're all gonna die

145
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: because Republicans or usually it's because Trump. I'm not the

146
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: one putting out as a as a medical association guidance

147
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: for how to deal with people that aren't getting their

148
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: way politically. This is the Libs are doing this now.

149
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: I'm just here to provide you with some refuge of sanity,

150
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: and I hope you at least can look forward to that.

151
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: You can come here. This is where this is where

152
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: we approach things as they are. This is where where

153
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: we approach reality and understand it as such. You had

154
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: back in nineteen eighty and this was fascinating. This is

155
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: from a guy who's an environmentalist skeptic out of Denmark

156
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: pull this together and he had all this great stuff

157
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: today online. And this is from the Carter administration, Jimmy

158
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: Carter's administration, where we were told that here let me

159
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: read you. This is from the government report, the US

160
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: government projections called the Global two thousand Study. This is

161
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty and I'm just going to read you

162
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: some of what this is. The United States government under

163
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter, the President United States. This was put forward

164
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: the media launched onto this in nineteen eighty, almost the

165
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: year that I was born. Here's what it says. If

166
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: present trends continue, the world in two thousand will be

167
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: more crowded, more polluted, less stable ecologically, and more vulnerable

168
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: to disruption than the world we live in now. Serious

169
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: stresses involving population, resources, and environment are clearly visible. Despite

170
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: greater material output, the world's people will be poorer than

171
00:11:50,960 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: they are today. False, dramatically, demonstrably, clearly false. Let me

172
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: go back to this global two thousand report from the

173
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: US government. All the smart scientists working for Jimmy Carter,

174
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: this is what they thought. Quote For hundreds of millions

175
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: of the desperately poor, the outlook for food and other

176
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: necessities of life will be no better. For many, it

177
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: will be worse. Life for most people on Earth will

178
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: be more precarious in the year two thousand than it

179
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: is now. In less the nations of the world act

180
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: decisively to alter current trends, extinctions of plant and animal

181
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: species will increase dramatically, hundreds of thousands of species, perhaps

182
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: as many as twenty percent of all species on Earth

183
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: will be irretrievably lost as their habitats vanished, especially in

184
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: tropical forests. All of this was wrong. All of this

185
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: was wrong. This is the smartest minds in the United

186
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: States government of the Carter administration forty years ago. Does

187
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: anybody care that they were all wrong? Time Magazine in

188
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty there will be environmental nightmares as man invades

189
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: their wild habitats and pollutants rained down on them. Five

190
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: hundred thousand to two million species of plants and animals

191
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: may die off in the next two decades. That was

192
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty. We're now four decades after that, So they're

193
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: saying two million species die off? Does anyone anyone? Just

194
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: I know I can't hear you right now, but do

195
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: you want to guess how many species have actually disappeared

196
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: in the last forty years? And that includes plants, insects, everything.

197
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and seventy two eight hundreds? Is that two million?

198
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: Keep in mind we're discovering new species all the time, too,

199
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: That is that two million, eight hundred and seventies. If

200
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: you told me Buck, I'm gonna give you two million

201
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: dollars and then you actually gave me eight hundred and

202
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: seventy two dollars. I would be very disappointed, very very disappointed.

203
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: Keep that in mind, all right, I've got more for

204
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: you on this, on the liberal delusion and the madness

205
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: of the left when we come back. I don't think

206
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: last week's hearing was actually about having staff questioned the

207
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: Attorney General. I think it's as my colleague said earlier,

208
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: I think it's all about trying to destroy Bill Barr

209
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: because Democrats are nervous. He's going to get to the

210
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: bottom of everything. He's gonna find out how and why

211
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: this investigation started in the first place. The Attorney General

212
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: said three and a half weeks ago in front the

213
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: Senate Finance Committee, spying did occur, said it twice, Yes,

214
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: spying did occur. Third, he said, there's a basis for

215
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: my concern about the spying that took place. And maybe

216
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: the most interesting thing two terms he used, frankly, I

217
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: find frightening. He said there was in his judgment he

218
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: thinks there may have been unauthorized surveillance and political surveillance. Oh, yes,

219
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: there was, And that is why the Democrats are a

220
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: bit desperate right now. And that's also why they're going

221
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: after Attorney General bar. I got some breaking news for

222
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: you here. Oh, not of the kind that I particularly

223
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: want to share with you, but it is. The news

224
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: is what it is. The House Judiciary Committee has voted

225
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: twenty four to sixteen to hold Attorney General Bill Barr

226
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: in contempt in the fight over the unredacted Muller Report.

227
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: This is toothless noise and nonsense from the Democrat cry babies,

228
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: overcome with their Trump's Arrangement syndrome, their climate change hysteria,

229
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: their need for safe spaces, and for the destruction of

230
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: their political enemies through any means possible. Now, they're both

231
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: very fragile and very aggressive at the same time. That's

232
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: what you see on the left. But Bill Barr they're

233
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: going after. Here's how this goes. The good news is

234
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: that the only people who could prosecute the Attorney General

235
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: for the contempt of Congress would be the Department of Justice.

236
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: So I don't think there's actually going to be anything

237
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: that comes with this other than Democrats looking like the

238
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: bunch of whiney cry babies that they are. Keep in mind,

239
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: they want the Attorney General to release information that is

240
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: under congressionally pass statute not authorized to be released to

241
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: the Congress. There is such a thing. There are limitations.

242
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: Congress doesn't just get to say I want this thing.

243
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: Therefore I get this thing. That's not how it works.

244
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: But they want him to effectively violate that law. Who

245
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: wants to guess if Congress would be willing to go

246
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: after him if he did break that law by the way,

247
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: I think that they would say, give us, give us

248
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: the six e grand jury material or else. And then

249
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: he said, all right, final, I'll authorize giving you that

250
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: material and say, oh, look at it. Look at Attorney

251
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: General bar willing to undermine the law itself by giving

252
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: us the six e grand jury material. These people are

253
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: utterly unserious. They really are, these democrats. They don't care

254
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: about how foolish this all this to anyone understands anything.

255
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: They don't care that this is just going to go

256
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: into a protracted court battle, and that their response to

257
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: so much of what the administration has done here that

258
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: has been transparent, that has been in good faith, that

259
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: has been all right, we'll go along with this machinery

260
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: of intended parts in destruction, that is the Mueller pro

261
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: will release the report. Bar didn't have to release the

262
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: report at all. The only thing the Special Council Regulation

263
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: says is that a report will be delivered to the

264
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: Attorney General. Attorney General bar would have been completely within

265
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: his rights to hold the entire report. I would have

266
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: recommended that, but he could have done it. Instead, he

267
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: released all but two percent of the report. And even

268
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: CNN is befuddled by how stupid the Democrats look here

269
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 1: Play fifteen. I find it odd that the Democrats decided

270
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: to use this as the thing to hold the Attorney

271
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: General and in in contempt over. I mean, they have a

272
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: lot of things to be mad at him over they

273
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: accused him of misleading testimony. Obviously, he didn't show up

274
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: for a hearing in the past week. So there's a

275
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: lot of things that they can be mad about, and

276
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: this one. This is a report that is ninety two

277
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: percent public. Only eight percent of it was unredacted the

278
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: Attorney General last week, and this testimony said only two

279
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: percent of volume two, which is the thing that the

280
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: Democrats say they care most about, the obstruction part is redacted.

281
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: So you know, it's kind of hard to understand how

282
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: they went nuclear so quickly on this. It seems rather

283
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: like they have started a constitutional crisis, not the other

284
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: way around. Yep, the Democrats started this constitutional crisis. Don't

285
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: forget that too. For a few weeks now, I've been

00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: and every time he uses it, he is lying, and

308
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: that is the word spy. His baseless claims of spies.

309
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: This is the president in the United States telling people

310
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: don't believe what this federal government is doing, and that

311
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: has very, very dangerous consequences. The notion that somehow the

312
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: FBI implanted, planted someone inside the campaign to spy on

313
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: the campaign is just not true. There's absolutely no evidence

314
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: there was a spy. He wants you to believe that

315
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: his campaign was spied on, and it's one of the

316
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: worst things that we've ever seen from government. The media

317
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: is a total disgrace. Okay, So to start with that

318
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: total disgrace, and you know, there you have just some

319
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: of the usual anti Trump voices with the hysteria, the

320
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: nonsense about how there wasn't spying. Here's a headline from

321
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, and this is something I know quite a

322
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: bit about because I was a part of the unit

323
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: of the NYPD that was accused of this. The headline

324
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: is quote after spying on Muslims, new York Police agree

325
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: to greater oversight. Now, hold on a second. Here, I

326
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: was in this unit of the NYPD. I was working

327
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: day after day in day out on these very cases

328
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: with these individuals, working with the undercovers, working with the

329
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: people that were confidential informants, and all of the stuff

330
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: that was being done, all of it was memorialized in writing.

331
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: There was a criminal predicate, there was a reasonable suspicion standard,

332
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: there was I mean, we were going through we had

333
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: lawyers reviewing everything. It was all done within what we're

334
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: thought to be the boundaries of legitimate law enforce And

335
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: but because of political sensitivities, people are saying, well, you're

336
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: you're looking for terrorism. What's all this stuff, what's all

337
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: the surveillance of mosques that's going on. Most terrorist plots

338
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: against the city of New York have a nexus in

339
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: a mosque. Because most of the major terrorist plots against

340
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: the city of New York, at least for the last

341
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: twenty years or so, have involved radical Islam. You know,

342
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: we can get sad about this or we can be

343
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: upset about that reality. But that's just the truth. I

344
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: had friends who worked in the White Nationalist unit. There

345
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: was a white nationalist unit of the NYPD. They were very,

346
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: very bored, nothing to do. There was an anarchist terrorist

347
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: unit there there. You know, there are different cyber terrorism

348
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: units that we had, all kinds of stuff. You know,

349
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: who was really busy the hey, we have to stop

350
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: guys who want to yell Allahu akbar blowing up Times Square.

351
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: That unit, that was my unit. We were busy with

352
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: things to do. But let me just get back to

353
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: this headline here in the New York Times. After spying

354
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: on Muslims, New York Police agreed a greater oversight. There

355
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: was no spying. It was it was surveillance, you see,

356
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: it was surveillance. It was legally predicated investigative work. I

357
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: could play these games all day. The word spying appears

358
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: in this New York Times right up, over and over again.

359
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: And do you know what they're really talking about in

360
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: some of these cases. They are talking about reporting on

361
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: stuff that is out in the open. We're not talking

362
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: about FISA here, folks. We're not talking about using the

363
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: most technologically advanced and invasive capabilities the federal government has.

364
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: We're talking about Hey, did you hear what that he

365
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: mom said about how like we need to strike against

366
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: the infidels and you know, maybe somebody should take up jihad.

367
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah he said it in front of the congregation. But

368
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: you know that's spying. It's in a public place, but

369
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: that's spying, okay. And I just want to know where

370
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: the boundaries are. I want to know what the real

371
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: rules are supposed to be. I want to know what

372
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: they contend. Here is now the new guide post for

373
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: we'll qualify as the spying. I mean the Democrats that

374
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: they're just so it's hard to have a conversation with

375
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: them because they're so delusional on all this stuff. And

376
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: that's really the theme of the of the show today

377
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 1: is just the Democrats have They've lost their minds on

378
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: a lot of issues, on the climate change stuff, on

379
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 1: Russia collusion. No longer able to have a normal conversation

380
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: with them. And here, if we're going to talk about

381
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: how how crazy it can get, you might as well

382
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: take a moment to hear from I just want to

383
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: make sure I have the right guy. Oh, yes, that's right,

384
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: Steve Steve Cohen play sixteen. We've got a man who

385
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: has been suggested might be financially dependent on the Russians.

386
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: Why would he be financially dependent on the Russians? Will

387
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: we now know? He lost over a billion dollars in

388
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: a decade in the eighties and nineties. He was broke.

389
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: No bank would loan him a penny. He was broke,

390
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 1: and if it weren't for him being president, he'd be

391
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: in prison with Michael Cohen today as individual one. And

392
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: he obstructed justice, as the Muel Report says it. So

393
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: we are in danger. We are in danger of hearing

394
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: the dumb stuff ever uttered by any human being. That's

395
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: what we're in danger of. What the heck is Steve

396
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: Cohen talking about? I mean that is really that is

397
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: a if you were creating a symptom chart. Ever you're

398
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: in the doctor's office, they have all like that, you know,

399
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: if you have a coff or if you have and

400
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: they walk you through some of they have these charts

401
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: on the walls. If you had a symptom chart of

402
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: Trump's arrangement syndrome, you could put Steve Cohen's little monologue

403
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: there right on it financially dependent on Russia, and we

404
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: are in danger. He lost a billion dollars and was broke.

405
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: Where is the evidence of a financial dependence on Russia?

406
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: Where or is he getting this from? This is a

407
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: member of Congress, my friends. This is not just some

408
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: crazy guy who's ranting on the internet somewhere in some

409
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: comments section, he's saying that Trump maybe still depended on Russia.

410
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: There's so much of Trump's background, finances, everything, the Muller Report.

411
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: Don't you think that Mueller would have been able to

412
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: figure out if all of Trump's money came from Russia.

413
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: Don't you think that we would know at some level

414
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: if that were the case. At this point, any same

415
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: person would say yes. But we're not talking about same

416
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: people anymore. We're talking about something else here. With these

417
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: anti Trump lives. We are in danger of a political

418
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: schism in this country based upon the reality based and

419
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: the Trump deranged and crazy. We might already be there,

420
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: and I don't know how we come back from it.

421
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: But that's what makes me think we're in danger. But

422
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: you have tens of thousands of FBI agents on the

423
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: front lines every day doing work to protect America. To

424
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: keep this country safe. And when the Attorney General undermines

425
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: the integrity of those agents by suggesting they're involved in

426
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: spying against a president, what does that do to the reputation? Yeah,

427
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: it's deeply concerning because ordinary folks will accept what the

428
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: president says, what the Attorney General says, and that hurts

429
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: our ability to be trusted as FBI agents in courtrooms

430
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: and at doorways. So it's a very bad thing. Sank

431
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: to Comy here in full effect, with an assist from

432
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: a mainstream lib reporter there, Nora o'donald now is going

433
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: to be taking the Dan rather set at cbscving news.

434
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: I wonder how long before she's engaged in her own

435
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: massive fake news scandal. But sank to Comy takes that,

436
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: takes what she's given them, and runs with it. This

437
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: is a classic. This is the media has been doing

438
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: this now for two years. What they say is anytime

439
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: Trump criticizes anything that's gone on with the FBI with

440
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: regard to thus spying. We'll get into that in a second.

441
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: The way this was handled, we've seen the text messages

442
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: from Page and Struck. We know that there was bias

443
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: against Trump. We know that they hated for President Trump,

444
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: and they were working to undermine him, to destroy his candidacy,

445
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: to destroy his presidency. We know that James Coomy, as

446
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: a former FBI direct leaked memos to The New York

447
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: Times to get payback. I mean, this is not ethical,

448
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: okay stuff to do. But when you point that out,

449
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: when you say, hold on a second, there was bad

450
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: behavior at the FBI, behavior that the Inspector General found.

451
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: Why Why did Andy mccabbe get fired right before he

452
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: was going to start collecting his pension. Why did James

453
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: came get fired by the President United States? Why were

454
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: these actions taken? You know, struck Page demoted from their jobs,

455
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: from their roles. Why has all this happened? Because none

456
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: of them did anything wrong. But you see that the

457
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: straw man that Nora Nora O'Donnell sets up there is well,

458
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: there's all these tens of thousands of FBI and he's

459
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: doing all this good work. No one's saying that everyone

460
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: the FBI is bad. No one saying the FBI is

461
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: not a great American law enforcement institution. Trump is merely

462
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: saying that some of the people running it did really

463
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: bad stuff. And if it weren't hurting Trump. I'd promise

464
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: you the Lib media who usually love to dump all

465
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: over law enforcement, now this is the same Lib media,

466
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: and I have not forgotten that under Obama were completely

467
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: willing to go along. Cops are racist, not a cop,

468
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: cops cops plural in general. Racist cops are not to

469
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: be trusted. Cops engage in, you know, the racist hunting

470
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: of minority men. Know all this stuff, there was there

471
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: was no there was no effort at pushback from the Nora.

472
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: O'donald's a hold on a second. You know, vast majority

473
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: law enforcement is doing a great job day to day

474
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: across the country. Yeah, there are a couple of bad

475
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: cops here and there, of course, but there's a couple

476
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: of bad everything's in any large profession there. That wasn't it.

477
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: It was no Black lives matter. We need to hear

478
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: more from them, We need to hear about how racist

479
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: and terrible the cops are. And then people like me

480
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: would say, you have millions of interactions between law enforcement

481
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: and American men and women across the country every year,

482
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: and you have less than a hundred law enforcement involved

483
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: fatal shootings in the country. Three hundred and twenty million

484
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: people in this country less than one hundred law enforce

485
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: involved shootings, and we're gonna act like this is a

486
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: national crisis. That needs to be the biggest news store

487
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: in the country, and that is going to justify, at

488
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: least to the left, actions including people like neighborhoods on fire, looting,

489
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: CBS's look what happened in Ferguson. Look what happened in Baltimore.

490
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: You know that where was the media? They're saying, Hold

491
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: on a second, law enforcement is doing a great job

492
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: in this country. It's not fair to tar them all

493
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: with the same brush because of or paint them all

494
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: at the same brush because of what's you know, gone

495
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: on in a few places here or there. It's just

496
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: not fair. They weren't saying that, but oh no the FBI.

497
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: Oh every time Trump criticizes the FBI's seen your face

498
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: who have engaged in bad behavior. Then you have this

499
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: the media. It's an assist I mean, it's like she

500
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: threw she threw the ball up in the air for

501
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: Comby to dunk it. That's what that was. Don't you

502
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: think the FBI has all these great people everywhere? Republicans

503
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: are the ones who like the FBI the Libs and Democrats,

504
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: the ones who usually like, oh, law enforcement can't trust them.

505
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: They enforce the law. The laws a disproportionate impact in

506
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: a lot of cases on minorities. Therefore law enforcement must

507
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: be racist. That's usually their position. Who are the ones,

508
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: by the way, who want to do have been pushing

509
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 1: harder for a criminal justice reform. It's actually the right,

510
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 1: it's not the left. But then we have the usual

511
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: sank to Coomy nonsense here about about the FBI does

512
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: not spy. Remember John Brennan said the CIA does not spy.

513
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean, so he's just an imbecile. Guys, the head

514
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: was the head of a spying agency. I don't know

515
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: how people show up to work there and not think

516
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: what kind of bozos used to run this place? I

517
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: think that, and I haven't been in the building and

518
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: got it over a decade now. But here's the Komi

519
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: version of what the FBI does and whether they're spy

520
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: or not. Play eleven. The FBI doesn't spy. The FBI investigates.

521
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: We investigated a very serious allegation that Americans might be

522
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: hooked up with the Russian effort to attack our democracy.

523
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: The Republicans need to breathe into a paper bag. If

524
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: we had confronted the same facts with a different candidate,

525
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: say a Democrat candidate, where one of their advisors was

526
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: talking to a foreign adversaries representative about that adversary's interference

527
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: in our election, they would be screaming for the FBI

528
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: to investigate. And that's all we did. That is a lie.

529
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: All of what he said there is a lie. Foreign

530
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: who's wait speaking the foreign representative? So now we're going

531
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: to now we're going to play this game, or we

532
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: don't have the facts that we have? Is that what

533
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: we're doing sankt to Komy because Papadopopolis was approached by

534
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: somebody who was sent to him by the FBI as

535
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: a setup. So for who's the foreign representative of the

536
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: country here, or we're going to go back to the

537
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: meeting and Trump Tower, is that that wasn't what started

538
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: the investigation, Folks that have nothing to do with anything.

539
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: And that meeting that you know, if if that's a

540
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: terrible meeting and that's illegal, then you have to explain

541
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: to me why paying for Russian OPO research for the

542
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: dossier is okay. If you pay for the activity, then

543
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: it's fine. I know a lot of guys I would say, WHOA,

544
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 1: I didn't know that was the case. So homie though,

545
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: saying the FBI does not spy and investigates, I mean,

546
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: that's just that's just a lie. What the FBI does

547
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: with the counterintelligence powers that it has. I mean you

548
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: could always call that, you could call any spying investigating.

549
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: If if I you know, if I task somebody to

550
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: show up in a foreign country and try to get

551
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: access to their sensitive information, they're investigating. You know, we

552
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: can play these word games all day. The FBI engages

553
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: in counterintelligence activity. The FBI is considered a member of

554
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: the intelligence community. Local law enforcements not a member of

555
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: the intelligence community. Your state you know, your statees or

556
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: your state state troopers, they're not members of the intelligence community.

557
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: Why is the FBI a member of the intelligence community.

558
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: Because there's a difference between intelligence and law enforcement, and

559
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: the FBI does both. I know because I've worked with

560
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: FBI in their intelligence capacity and I worked foreign intelligence agency.

561
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: This definitely isn't hard. But Comey's a clown and a liar,

562
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: and his day is coming, folks. When we see what

563
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: really happened here, we see what he signed off on

564
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: what he was a part of. I mean, a lot

565
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: of people saying, oh, hey, I guess I misread James Comey.

566
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: All you really have to know about this guy other

567
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: than the fact that he says stupid things like the

568
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: FBI does not, by it clearly does. Okay, the FBI spies.

569
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: We have this this uh, And then there's an interesting

570
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: kind of gray area and conversation here. In a lot

571
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: of other countries, the primary federal law enforcement agency does,

572
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: in fact do spying. Does in fact, uh, you know,

573
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: do M I five like work? Right that you have?

574
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: You have a domestic intelligence agency that is engaged in that. Here,

575
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: the FBI does domestic intelligence agency work. But we still

576
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: call a law enforcement agency, you know, we don't. We

577
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: have a slightly different system. But the FBI really doubles

578
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: double hats on this. But if all you really up

579
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: to know about James Comey's a following that he took

580
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: the position that Martha Stewart, Okay, I know you're buck,

581
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: what do you I know, I'm all hung up on

582
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: the Martha's just trust me on this one, Okay. He

583
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: took the position to the shock of his colleagues, some

584
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: of whom I have talked to. Okay, in the federal

585
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: prosecutor community, that Martha Stewart saying she was innocent of

586
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: insider trading was itself a form of fraud because it

587
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: propped up the stock price of her company. The most convoluted,

588
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: nonsensical legal theory imaginable under the circumstances. That was a comyism.

589
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: And now he's here's probably a mullerism too. Muller would

590
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: go for some nonsense like that as well. Comey is

591
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: not a good guy. He had a lot of people

592
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: at the FBI apparently brainwashed with all of his Holier

593
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: than now bullcrap, and we're going to find out more

594
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: about what Comy really did, and it's not going to

595
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: look good for this guy. We consider a report recommending

596
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: that the House of Representatives hold Attorney General William Barr

597
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: in contempt of Congress for defying a valid subpoena issued

598
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 1: by this committee. This is not a step we take lightly.

599
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: It is the culmination of nearly three months of requests

600
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: to cushions and negotiations with the Department of Justice for

601
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 1: a complete, unredacted report by Special Counsel Mueller into Russian

602
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: interference in the twenty sixteen election, along with the underlying

603
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: evidence unredacted report. Madler is demanding, what is really going

604
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: on with this fight that is brewing or it's actually underway,

605
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: I should say brewing between the executive branch and Congress.

606
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: What are the Damns demanding? What is all this about?

607
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: Our friend Shaun Davis joins us now. He's a co

608
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: founder at the Federalist. You can see the Federalist dot

609
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: com for all the fantastic work and writing that they

610
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: do over there. But Sean also was chief investigator for

611
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: Senator Tom Coburn, so he knows a thig or two

612
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: about the infighting on Capitol Hill over getting the documents

613
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: and how all this stuff works. Good man to talk

614
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: about us today, Sean, Thanks for making the time, Thanks

615
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: for having me, all right, Sean, First off, the report

616
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: has been released. Okay, the Mueller's Special Council Report is

617
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: out there. I think two percent of it is redacted,

618
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: over four hundred and forty pages released, and the Democrats

619
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: are demanding what what is their beef here? Can you

620
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: just walk us through what are they claiming? The problem is? So,

621
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: as best I can tell, Democrats are demanding a couple

622
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: of things. They are demanding a full, unredacted report, which

623
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: includes grand jury information which by law, the Attorney General

624
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: can't share with anyone. And they're also demanding what they're

625
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: calling all of the underlying evidence, all of the interviews,

626
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: all the documents from the White House, all the transcripts,

627
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: all the White House staffers notes. And while I am

628
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: sympathetic to them to their request when it comes to

629
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: asking for, say, DOJ documents, kind of stuff that falls

630
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: within typical congressional oversight of an agency they created, like

631
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, the demands that they're making now

632
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: they're silly and they're just not based in reality or

633
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: based in law. I kind of laughed at that NAD

634
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: clip when he says we've been demanding this report for

635
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: three months. Well, the report hasn't existed for three months.

636
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 1: It's barely existed for even two if that. So I

637
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: think I think he's a little out to lunch on this,

638
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: and I think what's actually going on because a couple

639
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: of things. Democrats are mad that there was no collusion

640
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: and no obstructions, so they're trying to scramble and recover

641
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: from that, because that was a pretty big blow. I

642
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: think they're terrified at what Bar is going to under

643
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: uncover with the spygate and the improper and illegal spying,

644
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: and so they're trying to dirty him up ahead of

645
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: those findings coming out. And then I think number three,

646
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 1: they're still all angry that the Republican House held Eric

647
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: Holder in contempt for withholding Agency DJ documents on Fast

648
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: and Furious stuff. They had nothing to do with the

649
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: White House or executive privilege, and so they're trying to

650
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: get a little revenge here. But what they're not doing

651
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: is engaging in any sort of good phase back and

652
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 1: forth in order to get the information they say they want.

653
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they went in about a span of a

654
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: week from saying that Bill Barr is a liar to

655
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: maybe somebody should go maybe maybe somebody should tell the

656
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: Sergeant at Arms and Congress to go arrest him if

657
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 1: he won't show up. I mean, this is just unhinged

658
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: stuff now. And what you're seeing is generally what happens

659
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: with a delusional person when the gravity of reality starts

660
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: to set in. Okay, so they got out on a

661
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: limb with this absurd Russian collusion theory for two years,

662
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: those of us with a brain and common sense and

663
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: the ability to follow basic facts kind of new from

664
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: the beginning there was nothing there there. So they're having

665
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: a really really difficult time grappling with the fact that

666
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: Saint Robert of Mueller came back and said, actually, there

667
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: was no collusion at all, and by the way, even

668
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: if there was obstruction, which we're not even sure there was,

669
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm not charging him with it. So like to understand

670
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: their behavior and how unhinged it is, you have to

671
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:59,479
Speaker 1: appreciate how badly they have been damaged by the fact

672
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: that there was your Russian collusion number one and number two,

673
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: that there was likely a whole lot of impropriety, both

674
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: from House Democrats like Adam Schiff who is legally leaking information,

675
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: as well as all of the shenanigans going on at

676
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: DJ and the FBI and probably even the CIA regarding

677
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: the spying against the Trump campaign. So they've got a

678
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: whole mess they're trying to get themselves out of. And

679
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: they've apparently decided that William Barr is going to be

680
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: the fall guy here and they're going to take out

681
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: all their anger on him. And they're making this claim

682
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: and we're speaking to Sean Davis from the Federalist Here Sean,

683
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: they're making this claim that they want the unredacted report

684
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: to be available to them. But my understanding is that

685
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: there are statutes, specifically statutes regarding grand jury information six

686
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: six E information that Congress is effectively asking the Department

687
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: of Justice to violate congressionally congressionally valid statute that absent

688
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: a court order, they would be violating. So Congress is

689
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 1: basically telling the Department of Justice to break the law

690
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: or else they're going to force the law against them.

691
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: You're exactly right. So there was a couple of different

692
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: categories of redacted information and what was made public by

693
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: Bar in the four hundred forty eight page Moll report.

694
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: There was classified information. I think there was ongoing matters

695
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: which was related to I think ongoing Roger Stone litigation

696
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: and litigation against the Russian hackers. There was some privacy

697
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: stuff in there, like you know, people mentioned who never

698
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: had any charges or anything against them. They were tertiary

699
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: characters and there's no need to drag their names through

700
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: the mud. And then there was grand jury information. Now

701
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: Bar has made available to Congress to a whole bunch

702
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: of people. I think the entire judiciary. Some of their

703
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: staffers said, hey, you can come look at every single

704
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: thing that's in that report. We've removed all the redactions

705
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: except the grand jury information, which under the federal rules

706
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: of Criminal Procedure I think rules sixty is why they

707
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: call it sixt information, we cannot law disclosed grand jury information.

708
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: And not only are Democrats demanding that grand jury information,

709
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: they haven't even gone over to DJ to see the

710
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: rest of those reactions that were removed. I mean, they've

711
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: been given like ninety eight percent of what they asked for,

712
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: and they've been given one hundred percent of what's allowable

713
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: on under law. And instead they've just decided they're going

714
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: to have this long drawn out temper tantrum so they

715
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: can make them feel self feel better about the fact

716
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: that there was no collusion. What are they really trying

717
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: to accomplish? You're like, what's the if you if you

718
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: were you know, behind enemy lines so to speak, in

719
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: the office of you know, Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi

720
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: and all these different figures that are creating this ongoing

721
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: really seems obsessive news cycle around the Mulla Report, as

722
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: though we don't have a book length and a heavy

723
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: book at that report with all kinds of information everything,

724
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: and it was very oppositional to Trump. It was a

725
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: prosecutorial document, not a fair minded document, not supposed to

726
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: take both sides. What do you think their game plan?

727
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: What are the Democrats trying to get out of this?

728
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: Is there a smart strategy at work here from their

729
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: side or are they just a little crazy? Is this

730
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: just a symptom of Trump having broken them in some way?

731
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: I think it's probably a little bit of both. So again,

732
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 1: they're reeling from the fact that there was no collusion

733
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: and they had really penned all their hopes on that

734
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 1: they'd hoped they were going to be able to impeach

735
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: him for either being a treason this Russian Asian or

736
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: having a structured justice violating total law, and they didn't

737
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: get either of those. So they have a ravenous base,

738
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: which has been told by both the members of Congress,

739
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: Democrat lawmakers and their friends and media for years that

740
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: Trump was a trees in Russian Asian and they're out

741
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: for blood. And so they've got this issue where apparently

742
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: for the moment, they've decided they're not going to impeach Trump.

743
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: We'll see how long that lasts. And so you have

744
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: this base that's just frothing just once Trump's head on

745
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: a pipe and they're told there's going to be no impeachment.

746
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of this is some space

747
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: saving from Democrats trying to show that they really are

748
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: tough and they really are going to get a pound

749
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: of flesh out of the Trump administration, and so they're

750
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 1: going to try and go to whatever links they can,

751
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: probably short of impeachment unless they talk themselves into that,

752
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: to show how big and tough they are. So I

753
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: think that's the first part, and then the second is

754
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 1: I do think they are legitimately worried about what Bars

755
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: and the Inspector General DJ's report on improper spying is

756
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: going to show. And the best way they can blunt

757
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: that because they obviously can't deal with facts and realities

758
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: we've seem from the collusion narrative, but the best way

759
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 1: they can deal with the bar spygate report coming out

760
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: is to just destroy the messenger. Attack the messenger before

761
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: it does, so hopefully when it comes out they can say, oh,

762
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: you can safely ignore this, this corrupt, lying, contemptible A

763
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: Jorney general was behind it, and you don't need to

764
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: pay attention to anything he says. So I think it's

765
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of base pleasing, a little bit of crazy,

766
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: and a little bit of defensive preparation for the Spygate

767
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: reports that are going to come out. Co sign that

768
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: sounds about right to me, Sean Davis. Everybody check out

769
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: his latest at the Federalist dot Com. Also follow him

770
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: for the wreckage of liberals that he leaves behind in

771
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: the digital space. Sean Davis on Twitter, He's check him

772
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: out there, and Sean, thanks for all your work and

773
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: good to talk to you as always, same here, Buck,

774
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure. Thank you for having me see him.

775
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: We live in the age of the Kardashians, and the

776
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: New York Times has managed to descend to that level.

777
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: The fact is less we clear Donald Trump is rich

778
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: and this is not a shock. Apparently he was clever

779
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: about what he was able to do with the tax code,

780
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,439
Speaker 1: and in fact, the other taxpayers helped make him rich

781
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: because he did legally what he was allowed to do.

782
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: I would love to see the Salzburger family release all

783
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: of their records, show us all the different tax advantages

784
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: that their companies have taken over the years. How did

785
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 1: they do it? For example, when they sold the Boston Globe.

786
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: I think that this kind of one sided, dishonest attack

787
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,240
Speaker 1: is part of what is sickening American politics and making

788
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 1: it harder to get decent people to write. I think

789
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: Newt's stepping onto a pretty important, pretty important ground here

790
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: with this new to loot. We gotta have new back

791
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: on the show. It's been a while I having a

792
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: nude on, like maybe a year or two now, Pruiser, Mike,

793
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: let's make a no, let's get let's get nude on.

794
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: I like new He was actually here the other day.

795
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: I'm talking to his people. They didn't know this, but

796
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm already talking to him. Let's see you look at that, dude.

797
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: We're Mike. We we have like a mind meld here,

798
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: my friend. You know, from from New York to DC.

799
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: You can't even It's like it's like we're sitting next

800
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: to each other. Um No, it's He's one of the

801
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: voices in the in our current moment. I mean, I

802
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,959
Speaker 1: think new Victor, Davis Hansen, these are really important perspectives

803
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: on all things Trump. They bring a degree of wisdom

804
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: and knowledge to the Trump movement that I think is

805
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: really useful, really helpful. But on the Trump tax issue

806
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: there is this is another manifestation of Trump's arrangement syndrome.

807
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 1: Today you had all these journalists trying to hyperventilate over

808
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: Trump's tax returns, which I suppose this was just leaked

809
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: from someone somewhere in New York State, his tax returns

810
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty five to eighty six, I think, and

811
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: it showed that he took losses, I think, the biggest

812
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: losses of any taxpayer in the country. And it showed

813
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,720
Speaker 1: that he took loss carried forward, which is a one

814
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: hundred percent legal acceptable in the tax code thing to do.

815
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: Now you can argue with whether or not you think

816
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: that that should be the case in the tax code

817
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: or not. I would note that, you know, if you

818
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: want people to take risks and if you want to

819
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 1: spur investment, you probably don't want them to Also, after

820
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 1: they've lost a ton of money, gets socked with really

821
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: high taxes on whatever money they have. But newt here

822
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,760
Speaker 1: is is also pointing out that you know, other people

823
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: would not be able to handle this kind of assault.

824
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there are so many individuals where if you

825
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: went after their taxes back now we're talking, went back

826
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: there almost thirty years. You know, this is what they'll

827
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: They could not get the mainstream media could not and

828
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: would not get Barack Obama's college records. I'm sure you know,

829
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 1: they could have sued, they could have gone to court,

830
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: they could have on something. They didn't even want them.

831
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: They even want them. We've still never seen Barack Obama's

832
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: SAT scores, We've never seen his grades. You would say, Barkwell,

833
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: who cares. Oh, we cared about John Kerry's. We cared

834
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: about George W. Bush's, we cared about you know, but

835
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: what taxes? Now, this is how sacro sanct Oh, we

836
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: must see the person's side, not just the last ten years.

837
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 1: We're supposed to see them now, back into the eighties apparently,

838
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm reminded of how they went after

839
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: Romney on the tax issue. Romney, who I mean, talk

840
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 1: about a guy who is just the most squared away.

841
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's the guy that you feel like he

842
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,439
Speaker 1: probably pays more than he shoot in taxes just because

843
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to stiff Uncle Sam. You know, he's

844
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: a very spit and polish by the book, by the

845
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: rules individual and Harry Reid very famously, you recall, went

846
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: on the floor of the Senate and said, mitt Romney

847
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: hasn't paid taxes in ten years. Now, you may say, buck,

848
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 1: a lot of people knew that that wasn't true, but

849
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: plenty of people probably didn't know that, and it was

850
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: a real smear. And Harry Read later kind of chuckled

851
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: about how Romney didn't win, and so who cares that

852
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: he lied about? It was just a lie. It was

853
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 1: just a lie. It was just defamation done from the

854
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: sanctity of the Senate floor though, so there you can't

855
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 1: bring any kind of legal challenge to it. There's no

856
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: defamation from the Senate floor. That's just an exemption for it.

857
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: So he was able to do that. And I'm just

858
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: reminded of how you know this is. This is why

859
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: so many, so many people who saw Trump early on

860
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: as an important political phenomenon and really as the start

861
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: of a political movement. We need somebody who can withstand

862
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: all this stuff. Romney couldn't take the heat, or at

863
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: least maybe Romney could handle the heat, but didn't know

864
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: how to fight back effectively. And if you if you lose,

865
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: you still lose. You know, even if you lose gracefully.

866
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: That has been the mantra for Republicans stretching back for

867
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,280
Speaker 1: a long time. Well you lose, but lose gracefully. And

868
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, we eked out a win against al Gore

869
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 1: in two thousand against al Gore, folks, guy's a clown,

870
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: guy's a joke, and barely we're able to defeat al Gore.

871
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is remarkable stuff when you think about

872
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: who the Democrats have put forward, and then we you know,

873
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: we finally Trump comes along and ends the Clinton dynasty

874
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: at least for the foreseeable future. But they're going after

875
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: him on this tax thing, acting like it's a big story.

876
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: None of this is new, None of this really is

877
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:02,280
Speaker 1: is information that is gonna change anything. But they're fixated

878
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: on this. They are fixated. You know, the media does

879
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: have an obsession. Of the obsession is to find the

880
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: thing that will end Trump. Whatever that thing is. They've tried.

881
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: They thought it was campaign finance, they thought it was

882
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 1: porn star payoff, they thought it was the Russia collusion,

883
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: They thought it was his dealings with the Trump Tower

884
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: Moscow that they keep going through all these different iterations

885
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: of ending the Trump presidency, and this is an extension

886
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: of the mass psychosis that they have. It really is

887
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: speaking about taxes, though, I gotta say, I'm I don't

888
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: know how much longer I'm gonna be able to last

889
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: in a blue in any blue state, whether it's DC

890
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: or New York or his tax stuff is just out

891
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: of control. And I talked to friends of mine, particularly

892
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: friends that have moved to Florida in the last couple

893
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:53,240
Speaker 1: of years, and you've got some nice red parts of Florida, lovely,

894
00:52:53,360 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: lovely beaches, and way better tax treatment. Governor Chris new

895
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 1: New had some interesting comments to make about these blue

896
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: states and what's facing them in the tax situation. Play

897
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: clip one. What you're do in Connecticut, I'd actually make

898
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: them manage The problem with places like New York and

899
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 1: Connecticut and California is they don't manage themselves. They don't

900
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: put themselves in a position to be successful because they

901
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: worried more about the politics and less about what actually

902
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: gets you know, better results. When businesses screened to the

903
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: state of Connecticut, you need to get taxes, stop abusing us,

904
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 1: or we're walking away. And then they did walk away

905
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: and What was Connecticut's response. Nothing, it's insulting, so businesses saying,

906
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, we want to work with a government. We

907
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: want to work with communities and administrations that actually listen

908
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: to us. That's what New Hampshire does, Tennessee, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Idaho.

909
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 1: These are the states that I'm competing with to get business.

910
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 1: It truly is an international market. There are the states

911
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: that are well run and have decent tax climate and

912
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: states that are losing people because they don't. And I

913
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: got to tell you, I think that these a lot

914
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: of these blue states are kind of coasting on legacy

915
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: and the wealth accumulation that they've had in the past,

916
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: and the infrastructure that was put in place a long

917
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: time ago, particularly the private sector infrastructure, meaning of the

918
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: jobs and the companies that are there. I think you're

919
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: going to see continued flight from New York, California, Connecticut.

920
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: There are just other places better, Especially if you're a

921
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: young guy or galen. You think about starting a family,

922
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:24,919
Speaker 1: it's too tough to make it work in these blue states.

923
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: They're too dysfunctional, the taxes are too darn high. It's

924
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: also important that we stopped seeing religion use as a

925
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 1: kind of cudgel, as if God belonged to a political party,

926
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: and if he did, I can't imagine it would be

927
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: the one that sent the current president into the White House.

928
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: Don't you love that Democrat tactic? That's Mayor Pete, who's

929
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: supposed to be so areudite, so sophisticated, gold plated resume

930
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: above the fray they say about Mayor Pete, he says

931
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: we should stop using religion as a cudgel. So let

932
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: me use religion as a cudgel here, let me use religions.

933
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: Let's just not do that thing we're doing. But I'm

934
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna do it one more time when I'm asking you

935
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: not to do it. If he did, he would hate

936
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: If God belonged to a political party, he would hate Republicans.

937
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 1: I think that that's given that the Democratic Party is

938
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: the party of death on demand with abortion, that right

939
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: right there, right then, and there falls apart from me.

940
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's a serious argument that can

941
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: be made. I don't think that that's a serious a

942
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: serious case. And I think what's so fascinating here is

943
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: that the Democrats have done a bit of rewriting of history,

944
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 1: and you're going to see this from Mayor Pete, where

945
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: gay marriage is now viewed as something that the Democratic

946
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: Party was all four and that they they were the

947
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,879
Speaker 1: ones that, you know, had this big breakthrough of how

948
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: gay marriage should be the law of the land, when

949
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,240
Speaker 1: in reality, Barack Obama ran as a traditional marriage candidate.

950
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,720
Speaker 1: This just gets completely wiped out of the history. Barack

951
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: Obama ran in favor of additional marriage, and then, in

952
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: a classic Democrat move, was like, yeah, I just did

953
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: that to fool those fool those rubes who go to

954
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: church in the Bible Belt, you know, enough of them

955
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: that they would vote for me. I didn't really mean it.

956
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: I wasn't really serious about it. We had our discussion

957
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: about Democrat takeia earlier in the week. If they lie

958
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,760
Speaker 1: and it is a lie that benefits the Democrat Party,

959
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: then it's okay. Then it's not something that we should

960
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: that they will look down upon. They think that that's fine.

961
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 1: We are going to have a very interesting Democrat primary

962
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: going forward here, because you're going to see efforts to

963
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: try to win over white working class voters, many of

964
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: whom are are Christian and at least somewhat church going,

965
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: and you've got a political party with the Democrats that

966
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 1: not just abortion on demand, but thinks that the distinctions

967
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: between male and female don't make any difference anymore, or

968
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,919
Speaker 1: at least they're willing to erase those distinctions on a whim.

969
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:05,760
Speaker 1: Believe that the transgender movement is the new civil rights movement.

970
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 1: Believe that it is in fact offensive to say things

971
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: like men cannot get their periods or women are not

972
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 1: the only ones who get periods. I can't even keep

973
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: up with the lunacy here, the anti scientific, non scientific

974
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: lunacy of the left. And they're going to try to

975
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: appeal to people who, at least in some states, in

976
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:31,919
Speaker 1: some places have a more traditional view of society and

977
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: morality and just American public life. And the Democratic Party

978
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 1: is an increasingly radical party. They have not tacked toward

979
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: the center. They are not taking a more centrist approach

980
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: at all, even though right now it seems to me

981
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: that they are all in on Biden, which I gotta

982
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: tell you, you know, maybe I'm out on a limb

983
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: here because I've been saying this all along. I do

984
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: not understand how anybody could think that this guy is

985
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: really a serious contender. And I really appreciated this today,

986
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: I saw none other than Ronald Reagan himself. Folks, you know,

987
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: if you don't want to take my word for it,

988
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: here's what Ronald Reagan said back in trying to make

989
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: sure I have this one set up the campaign to

990
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: This is from the Campaign to Succeed Reagan and Biden

991
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: launched his bid for the presidency. This is from National

992
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: Review Today in June of nineteen eighty six. And here

993
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: is what Reagan said about about Biden first meeting with

994
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: Ken d and the VP Howard Lake. Getting back from Tennessee,

995
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: Reagan wrote on June fifteenth, this is what he wrote

996
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: about him. Some talk about Senator Biden, now candidate for president.

997
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: I saw him on CNN last night speaking to John F.

998
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: Kennedy School at Harvard. He's smooth but a pure demagogue,

999
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: out to save America from the Reagan doctrine. Ooom, smooth

1000
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: but a pure demagogue. A perfect, perfect description of Joe

1001
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: Biden from Rob Reagan himself. And who has been I'm

1002
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: the one who's been telling you all week. I didn't

1003
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: even know about this Reagan quote until today that Biden

1004
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: is the quintessential say whatever he has to say at

1005
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 1: any point in time politician, no big ideas, no big thoughts,

1006
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: no core of belief or purpose other than the greater

1007
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: glory of Joe Biden. And say what you will about

1008
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: some of the and I will say a lot about them.

1009
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: A lot of these Democrats who are running right now

1010
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: for the nomination. I do think there are some true

1011
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: believers among them. I think Bernie Sanders is a true believer. Unfortunately,

1012
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: he's a true believer. And Communism, baby, it's coming back,

1013
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: make it a comeback. I do think he's a true believer. Though.

1014
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: I think that Elizabeth Warren, as much as she is

1015
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: a phony, she's such a phony that she's even convinced

1016
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: her she believes some of her own bs. I think

1017
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: that she believes it. I think that I think Andrew

1018
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Yang he's a true believer, although I don't find him

1019
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: bothers him like I do some of these other candidates.

1020
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: I think he's an interest. I think he's wrong on

1021
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: some stuff, but he's earnest and he's You're like, who's

1022
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: Andrew Yang. I think he's at maybe one percent of

1023
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: the vote or something. But he has ideas. He's an

1024
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: ideas guy, and he'll talk about his ideas. I give Yang.

1025
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: I give Yang credit, and I Ernie Clinton interrupt you here, Buck,

1026
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: did you hear Yang's policy or ideas on paying politicians? No,

1027
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: what do you say? I thought it was really interesting

1028
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: I read about last week. He talked about the salaries

1029
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: of the president and our congressman and senators, how they

1030
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,439
Speaker 1: need to be greatly increased. If we paid them way more,

1031
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: then they'd be less likely to be reliant on um,

1032
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, on payoffs and bribes and all that kind

1033
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: of stuff that you know that they give me too.

1034
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we can debate, we can debate what the

1035
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: lobbyist is. What I was trying to say, it's an idea.

1036
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: It's a real idea of folks. So you know, Yang's

1037
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: got some real ideas. But but Biden, as Reagan said,

1038
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: pure demagogue. Perfect description. Received a lot of feedback about

1039
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: a video I posted last week, and I want to

1040
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: provide some background. You see, I've lived across the street

1041
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: or next door to this particular plant parenthood, one of

1042
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: the most heavily protested plant parenthoods in America. For the

1043
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: last fifteen years. I've seen men and women and teens

1044
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: try to go there for routine healthcare for checkups for

1045
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: PAP schmeres, for breast exams, for STD screenings, and yes,

1046
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: for abortions. I have seen firsthand the insults, the slurs,

1047
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: the attacks, and the racism that those protesters aim at,

1048
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: mostly young girls going there for clinical care. As an

1049
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 1: activist and an advocate, I know why pushing back against

1050
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: harassment and discrimination or an must even when they're uncomfortable.

1051
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: But last week I wasn't a patient escort. I was

1052
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: a neighbor and a concerned citizen, and I was aggressive.

1053
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: And you're a jerk, Brian Simms, You're scummy. Apology not accepted,

1054
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: at least not by me, feeling not by any of

1055
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: you either. You will recall that Representative Simms from the

1056
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: Great State of Sylvania achieved quite a bit of notoriety

1057
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: earlier this week when he really viciously harassed and harangued

1058
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: an elderly woman who was standing outside of a planned

1059
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: parenthood clinic in Philadelphia praying, and then did the same

1060
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: thing to a couple of teenage girls, videotaping them, trying

1061
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: to humiliate them, and really doing all of this in

1062
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 1: a very menacing, nasty fashion. He wasn't engaging with them.

1063
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: He wasn't trying to have a conversation. He was trying

1064
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: to publicly humiliate them, not just public as in on

1065
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: the street in front of this planned parenthood, but then

1066
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: to post this like he's some kind of hero, posted

1067
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: to his social media accounts. He was proud of these interactions.

1068
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: And just to remind you of State Rep. Simms's tone

1069
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: and approach to teenage girls who are trying to convince

1070
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: women not to kill the babies in their wombs at

1071
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: a planned parenthood, here is what Simms said to these

1072
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: young girls. Lay clip nine. Oh you've got here is

1073
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of protesters, a bunch of pseudo Christian protesters

1074
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: who've been out here shaming young girls for being here.

1075
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: And so here's the deal. I've got one hundred dollars

1076
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: to anybody who will identify any of these three. So

1077
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna donate the plant parenthood. I'm gonna donate to

1078
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: plant parents. So look a bunch of white people standing

1079
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: out of a plant parents shaming people. There's nothing Christian

1080
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: about what you're doing. Nothing Christians at all about what

1081
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: you're doing. Hi, nothing Christian or loving or godly about

1082
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: what you're doing. So I've got one hundred dollars to

1083
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: anybody who will identify one hundred dollars rich What makes

1084
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: you think that it's your job to tell women what's

1085
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: right for their bodies? And the truth is, I'm not

1086
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: really asking because I don't care. Shame on you. Notice

1087
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: how much wokeness and social justice idiocy this complete moron

1088
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 1: worked into that very short exchange that we played for you. Says,

1089
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: there's nothing godly about what these girls say they're doing,

1090
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: which is praying for the babies that are being aborted

1091
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: in this clinic. I'm pretty sure that that's quite godly

1092
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: to pray for the souls of the deceased, because that

1093
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: is what is happening in this facility. He notes that

1094
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: they are white, as though that's and he kind of

1095
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: spits it out like that's a slur in and of itself.

1096
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: These white girls standing outside there is there a problem

1097
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: with that representative sims are white teenage girls not allowed

1098
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: to protest, only non white teenage girls out of protests.

1099
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: I just it seemed like a very strange thing to

1100
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: note in his aggressive verbal assault on these on these girls,

1101
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean, and then the one hundred dollars offer to

1102
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 1: docks them to humiliate them. He should know that that

1103
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: could very well if that and and oh, there are

1104
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: so many social justice warriors online, so many people who

1105
01:04:56,520 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: work for despicable smear organizations like Media Matters and you

1106
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: know the Daily Codes and you name it, all these

1107
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: different websites. I mean basically a leftist website. As a

1108
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: website without any honor or integrity, you can start there.

1109
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: Any number of them would be happy to docs meaning

1110
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: to share the private contact information home addresses of these girls.

1111
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: And where is the media on this? I would ask,

1112
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: where's the rest of the media. This has now gotten

1113
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: a lot of attention. People have been talking about the story.

1114
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: I've obviously been talking about it for days because the

1115
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: same media that maybe a week or so ago, maybe

1116
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, was telling us that criticism of ilhan

1117
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: Omar is immoral and reckless, because even though she's a

1118
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: public figure, saying stupid and immoral and reckless things by

1119
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: criticizing her, those of us on the right are giving

1120
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: oxygen to the hatred and the threats against her. So

1121
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: we were, in effect, if you criticize ilhan Omar, the

1122
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: left was saying, you're putting her life in danger. That

1123
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: was the storyline, ilhan Omar is a public figure and

1124
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: her comments are not just fair game. It is necessary

1125
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: to push back on the anti Semitism and the stupidity

1126
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: of somebody like an ilhan Omar. As much as the

1127
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: Left wants to protect her, and oh they're so, they

1128
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: want to just she's in a special category because of

1129
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: all the she represents all these different victim classes all

1130
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: put together, and that means that she's special and you

1131
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: can't hold her to the same standards of speech you

1132
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: would other members of Congress. That's what the Left is doing,

1133
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: creating and enforcing a massive double standard for ilhan Omar.

1134
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: Where is that standard though, of criticizing somebody, whether you're

1135
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: right in the criticism or not, can put them in

1136
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: harm's way and therefore it's immoral for you to do so.

1137
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: Where is that standard when it comes to a number

1138
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: of teenage girls who a public official, not just a

1139
01:06:55,000 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: public figure. Representative Brian seems states openly and really puts

1140
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: out a bounty on the privacy of these girls, asking

1141
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 1: for them, paying to pay for them to be docked,

1142
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: like it's the DNC paying for the dossier, and all

1143
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, if you pay for the bad behavior.

1144
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 1: It makes it okay, huh not. The mother of the

1145
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: teen girls who were confronted by Representative Simms had some

1146
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on how she, as a mother of young girls,

1147
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: a mother of young girls who were out there praying

1148
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 1: for the souls of murdered babies at a planned parentod clinic,

1149
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 1: how does she feel as a mom about this play eight.

1150
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: It was a shocking experience. What is not seen in

1151
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: that video was our first interaction with mister Simms. He

1152
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: approached us about twenty minutes before that came in. I

1153
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 1: would say he came in hot. He came in yelling

1154
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: at us, and really was yelling very directly at the girls,

1155
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 1: very specifically at the girls. So I moved myself in

1156
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: between him and the girl asked him, you know, please

1157
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 1: talk to me. Let's let's have a conversation and the

1158
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: two of us as two adults. But he continued to

1159
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 1: yell at the girls, and then eventually he laughed in

1160
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: about ten minutes later, as when he came back videotaping us.

1161
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: So after our first altercation with him, I went and

1162
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: talked to my girls and told them, you know, I'm

1163
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: really sorry this happened. I'm really proud of you guys

1164
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: for being here. Sadly, ironically, the two older girls looked

1165
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 1: at me and said, mom, that was nothing compared to

1166
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: what people were screaming at us at the March for Life.

1167
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:37,560
Speaker 1: This guy is a maniac. You're hearing here from the

1168
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 1: mom of these young girls. This wasn't even a heat

1169
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: of the moment thing. He initially accosted them. The mother

1170
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: steps and says, we're adults, why don't we talk, and

1171
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: he goes, no, no, no. Brian Simms wants to yell

1172
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 1: at a bunch of teenage girls. This guy looks to

1173
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: be maybe about my age, maybe a little older. I mean,

1174
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: I do have a youthful appearance, and I would never

1175
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 1: scream at teenage girls for protesting for any reason, because

1176
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: there's an inherent level of menace from a six ft

1177
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: tall adult male screaming and threatening a bunch of teenage girls.

1178
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: That's just not okay. A decent person, an honorable person,

1179
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: an honorable man, a real man wouldn't do that. This

1180
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: guy did it, not only to do it once, then

1181
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: he came back to videotape it because he was so

1182
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 1: proud of it, and now he wants to claim in

1183
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 1: his non apology apology video, Oh, it's just because I've

1184
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: seen all the horrible things that are said. I'm sorry.

1185
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 1: The left likes to play this game a lot these days.

1186
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Well maybe I was out of line with this, but

1187
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: there are a lot of other people that do bad

1188
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:41,719
Speaker 1: things and that just kind of makes what I did okay. No, sorry,

1189
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: you don't get to just muddy the waters on what

1190
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: morality is here, on what ethics are individual culpability is

1191
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: what matters, not what someone else did somewhere else that

1192
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: influenced your thinking at this point in time, for an

1193
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 1: interaction with the human being that had nothing to do

1194
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: with those other things you're talking about. That some people

1195
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,599
Speaker 1: may have been mean to women going into planned parented

1196
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: clinics at another time and another place does not justify

1197
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 1: this guy acting like a lunatic when women, young women

1198
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 1: are trying to pray outside of a parentered clinic this time.

1199
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: But you see this, You know this is the lack

1200
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 1: of accountability on the left is astonishing, But it's the

1201
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 1: reality because they know that the media is not going

1202
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 1: to pick up the mainstream media is not picking up

1203
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 1: the story, not touching this story, and this comes the

1204
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: same week where you had a former city councilwoman for

1205
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 1: the City of New York saying that you know, it's

1206
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 1: not a human being in the womb. I mean the

1207
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: stupidity on display from the left on these issues, the

1208
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 1: straw men they set up on the abortion issue too.

1209
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:53,919
Speaker 1: It just tells you all you need to know about

1210
01:10:54,360 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 1: how morally decrepit the modern Democratic Party is and really

1211
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: how there's no coming back for them with all this stuff.

1212
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: They will never change their minds because their party has

1213
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: been degraded, ethically, degraded in a way where they would

1214
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 1: have to form a new party. Once the final recognition

1215
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 1: comes in of what they've been doing, they'll have to

1216
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 1: form an entirely new party, and they're not willing to

1217
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 1: do that because they want power. We'll be right back.

1218
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 1: You are now entering the Freedom Hottital Operation Center. All

1219
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: sensitive programs MUSTY keeps strictly neat to know. Team Buck

1220
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 1: is cleared and ready for the Buck Brief. Almost one

1221
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: year ago, after a drawing from the Iran Nuclear Deal,

1222
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 1: President Trump implemented the strongest pressure campaign in history against

1223
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:46,680
Speaker 1: the Islamic Republic of Iran. The goal remains simple, to

1224
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 1: deprive the outlaw regime of the funds that is used

1225
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: to stabilize the Middle East for four decades and instead

1226
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 1: of iz Iran to behave like a normal country. Up

1227
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 1: to forty percent of the regime's revenue comes from oil sales.

1228
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 1: It's the regime's number one source of cash. Before our

1229
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: sanctions went into effect, Iran will generate as much as

1230
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars annually in oil revenue. Overall, Today we

1231
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: estimate that our sanctions have denied the regime well north

1232
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: of ten million dollars. Our goal has been to get

1233
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: countries to see supporting Iranian oil entirely. Last November, we

1234
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 1: granted exemptions from our sanctions to seven countries and to Taiwan.

1235
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 1: With this this to give our allies and partners to

1236
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: wean themselves off of Iranian oil and to ensure a

1237
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: well supplied oil market. Today, I am announcing that we

1238
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 1: will no longer grant any exemptions. We're going to zero,

1239
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 1: going to zero across the board. I'm a Secretary of

1240
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: State Pompeo letting everybody know that the noose is getting

1241
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:51,839
Speaker 1: tightened around the Iranian economy and the showdown between Trump

1242
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: and Tehran is heating up. Now you have the Iranians

1243
01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 1: today threatening to end compliance with parts of the nuclear deal.

1244
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: The US is also threatening new sanctions. We've got a

1245
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 1: lot of movement here in US Iranian relations. We've got

1246
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 1: a great guest right now to help us work through

1247
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:13,919
Speaker 1: it all. Jonathan Schanzer, Senior vice president at the Foundation

1248
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 1: for Defense of Democracies. Jonathan. Always good to have you on,

1249
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,040
Speaker 1: Great to be with you. Buck. All right, let's start

1250
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: first with what is the before we talk about the

1251
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: Iranian response thus far and what they're threatening. What is

1252
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 1: the change that's happened in the last week or so

1253
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 1: from the Trump administration position in terms of how we

1254
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: are approaching Iran. Now, okay, so a couple of things.

1255
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:42,879
Speaker 1: Number One, we were issuing waivers. We were allowing certain

1256
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 1: countries to continue to buy Iranian oil. We have zeroed

1257
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:50,480
Speaker 1: that out. We're not really giving waivers on anything anymore

1258
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 1: related to Iran, not with its civilian nuclear program, really

1259
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: not with much of anything at this point. So we've

1260
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: done that. The Iranians are definitely feeling the financial squeeze.

1261
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: They're getting blocked out of markets. Companies are afraid to

1262
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: do business with Iran because they know that they have

1263
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 1: a choice. They can either do business with US, the

1264
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 1: world's largest economy, or with the Iranians, which is a

1265
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: far smaller one that carries with it a good bit

1266
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: of risk. So the news is tightening. As Secretary Pompeo said,

1267
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: in the meantime, you've got people in Iran who are

1268
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:29,080
Speaker 1: increasingly growing restless and unhappy with the way that the

1269
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:32,679
Speaker 1: regime has decided to allocate the resources that it has.

1270
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,600
Speaker 1: And now the US today actually just imposed news sanctions.

1271
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 1: So now you've got oil off the table, You've got

1272
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: petrochemicals and other oil products off the table. And then

1273
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 1: just today you've now got iron, steel, aluminum, copper, all

1274
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,920
Speaker 1: the precious metals that they sell that's also off the table.

1275
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 1: So all the major things that give are on cash

1276
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: foreign currency are just drying up, and you can just

1277
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 1: feel the pressure mount. What's supposed to happen if some

1278
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: of these countries we had been giving a waiver two

1279
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 1: so that they could do business with essentially buy stuff

1280
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 1: from Iran, mostly oil, right, but other if those countries say,

1281
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm sorry, We're not going to dance

1282
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: to America's tune on this one. What do we do.

1283
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 1: So it really depends. You know, there are countries like

1284
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: China in Russia that will some of there knows that

1285
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 1: the United States and we don't really have a major response,

1286
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: But there are other countries, those that are a bit

1287
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: more plugged into the US led economy, or perhaps we

1288
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 1: have a little bit more leverage, we can start to

1289
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: sanction them or their businesses, or their banks or the

1290
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 1: people that are facilitating these transactions. And that's something that

1291
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 1: people just don't want. You have to remember that we

1292
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: still have the most powerful banking system in the world,

1293
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:53,720
Speaker 1: that the dollar is still the most ubiquitous currency, the

1294
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: one that everybody uses around the world. So people want

1295
01:15:56,560 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: access to our system. It's trusted, the dollar is still king,

1296
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 1: so uh, it's there's a real fear of engaging in

1297
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: this kind of uh of transaction. But also remember that

1298
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 1: if we determine the risks because it's our system, it

1299
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 1: can really hurt other countries and other companies as they

1300
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 1: look to do business around the world. Now, the EU

1301
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: is still in the nuclear deal with Iran, do we

1302
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: have concerns that there are EU countries that aren't going

1303
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: aren't going to go along with the sanctions we have

1304
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: in place, you know, do we think we have the

1305
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: leverage to force them to keep playing ball our way?

1306
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: This is I would say, one of the sort of

1307
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:45,600
Speaker 1: tense things that are happening right now between US and

1308
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 1: the Europeans. It's not just NATO. Uh, there's this and

1309
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 1: uh and and really it stems from when the President

1310
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 1: left the nuclear deal. He did so right in the

1311
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: middle of negotiations with the Europeans. We had been working

1312
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: our Dippo mats, were working with Theirs to try to

1313
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 1: find some kind of a compromise, and right in the

1314
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:07,200
Speaker 1: middle of that, the President decided he had had enough

1315
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 1: that he didn't think that they were moving quick enough,

1316
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: and so he pulled out. So there has been tension

1317
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:16,559
Speaker 1: really high. Sat in a meeting with British diplomats and

1318
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: I've never seen such tension before. They were particularly grumpy

1319
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: about about the President's decision. So you have this tension

1320
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 1: that has existed. They want to try to keep a

1321
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: run in the deal. They want to run to continue

1322
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 1: to limit its nuclear activities and the United States and said, look,

1323
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 1: this wasn't working in the first place. Not only do

1324
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,759
Speaker 1: we find out that they had all sorts of secrets

1325
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 1: that they had kept from the IAEA. But on top

1326
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 1: of that, they've been spending money all around the world

1327
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: to disrupt the Middle East, to sponsor terrorism, and to

1328
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 1: engage in a bunch of other behaviors that we don't like.

1329
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:54,640
Speaker 1: And so what the Europeans have decided to do to

1330
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 1: try to sweeten the deal is they've been talking about

1331
01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:00,600
Speaker 1: something called an SPV special purpose vehicle, which would be

1332
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: a way of maintaining trade outside of the normal channels

1333
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 1: that would impact the United States, so they could find

1334
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 1: themselves sort of inoculated from sanctions. We have not seen

1335
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 1: any significant use of this, but it doesn't mean that

1336
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 1: the Europeans still won't think about using it. So we're

1337
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: trying to deter them and to keep them with us

1338
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,640
Speaker 1: because a divided West is not one that's ultimately going

1339
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: to get the Iranian regime to bend. And on the

1340
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 1: Iranian threat, now, the Iranians are saying that they are

1341
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 1: going to back out, even though the Europeans are still

1342
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 1: in this deal with them, because the Trump administration pulled

1343
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:39,600
Speaker 1: out of this deal. The Iranians are now saying that

1344
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 1: they will move away from some of the obligations under

1345
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 1: the deal, including enriching uranium, right, I mean, this is

1346
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: some pretty red line level stuff in terms of the deal,

1347
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: not necessarily red line in terms of a military strike,

1348
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 1: but this is important stuff that's in the deal. What

1349
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: do you make of this one? Do you think the

1350
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: Iranians will do it? And too? If they do it,

1351
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: what are we going to do? I think there was

1352
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:02,600
Speaker 1: always a risk that they were going to start to

1353
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 1: do this, that they were going to start to violate

1354
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,799
Speaker 1: the deal incrementally, and I would expect that that's exactly

1355
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 1: what they're going to do. They're going to sort of

1356
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 1: raise the temperature slowly over time and probably not go

1357
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: for for, you know, large amounts of enriched uranium right away.

1358
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: And so now they've just said, look where you've been

1359
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 1: out of the deal for a year, we're not getting

1360
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 1: what we want. We want more, you know, financial transactions

1361
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,000
Speaker 1: with the West and US sanctions are harming that. So

1362
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:33,559
Speaker 1: we're going to do what you know that that you

1363
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 1: don't want us to do, which is to enrich So

1364
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,560
Speaker 1: I think they start off small and moving crementally. The

1365
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: question is how much will the United States put up with?

1366
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 1: How much before the Europeans actually join our side? And

1367
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 1: this is I think this is going to be the

1368
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 1: interesting part to watch. Do the Iranians understand who they're

1369
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 1: playing with here and do they understand how to keep

1370
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 1: the Iranians with them while also preventing us from taking

1371
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: more drastic measures. Is this the right move, Jonathan? I mean,

1372
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: I see what's going on here at the administration, and

1373
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 1: I've we've talked about the Iran deal before here in

1374
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: the show. It's clearly a very flawed deal. Obama administration

1375
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:11,040
Speaker 1: was just desperate for a foreign policy legacy, and you

1376
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 1: know that that all still very much stands for me.

1377
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 1: But I'm hearing people say Bolton, who is a hawkish

1378
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 1: guy on a whole bunch of weather truck in Venezuela,

1379
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: or on a whole bunch of things and has been

1380
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 1: for a long time. This is these are the kind

1381
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:31,639
Speaker 1: of moves that could lead to miscalculation and perhaps even

1382
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: unintended military consequences. That's that's concerning to me. I mean,

1383
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 1: is this the right move to people who are just

1384
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 1: saying in the back of their you know, people are

1385
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 1: thinking the back of their minds, the Trump administration cannot

1386
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:48,600
Speaker 1: engage in some kind of Mid East war, you know,

1387
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: we need four years here, preferably eight of no wars

1388
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: the Mid East. Is this Iranian stuff getting close to

1389
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 1: the line for you or is this what we have

1390
01:20:56,479 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 1: to do? You know, it's it's unclear to me, you know,

1391
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: exactly what the Iranians next move would be. I think

1392
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,639
Speaker 1: we actually just had an event today where hr McMaster

1393
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,600
Speaker 1: said that there are two ways of challenging in the

1394
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: United States, and one is through asymmetrics and the other

1395
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: way is just to be stupid. In other words, if

1396
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,519
Speaker 1: the Iranians decide they want to challenge the United States,

1397
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 1: the only way they can do that is, you know,

1398
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: is by way of insurgency or through terrorism. There there

1399
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: is no way for the Iranians to challenge the US

1400
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:32,559
Speaker 1: in a conventional fashion and win. The US would crush

1401
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,960
Speaker 1: the Iranian military. So, you know, when we think about

1402
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:38,680
Speaker 1: what does a war mean, you know, I think it's

1403
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 1: hard to define. Can we imagine a situation where the

1404
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: Iranians deploy their militias in Iraq, which is apparently one

1405
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 1: of the reasons why Pompeo went to Iraq just the

1406
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 1: other day to confer with Iraqi leadership because of specific

1407
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: and credible concerns yeah, we can imagine a scenario like that,

1408
01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 1: or perhaps harassment of our navy, you know, in the

1409
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: Strait of Hormus. We can certainly imagine that. But in

1410
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:07,560
Speaker 1: terms of a full on war, it's very hard to

1411
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:12,080
Speaker 1: imagine the Iranians deciding that they want to trifle with

1412
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: a powerful military like ours. But could you see a

1413
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 1: situation where we start having regime change conversations if you know,

1414
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 1: if they do miscalculate on the Iranian side, Let's say

1415
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: they do unleash the Shia militias in Iraq to go

1416
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:29,760
Speaker 1: after not just the Iraqis, but our interest in that

1417
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: country too, go after the ambassy. There's a whole bunch

1418
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,520
Speaker 1: of war gaming. We could do theorizing, but based on reality,

1419
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the US starts blowing up

1420
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 1: IRGC headquarters, there's air strikes. Is this that we break

1421
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 1: it we buy it situation. I'm just trying to gauge

1422
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 1: your concerns about over involvement in Iran. Sure, and look,

1423
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: I think all those things are valid, especially after what

1424
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: this country has gone through over the last twenty years

1425
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 1: and the challenges that we've had in Afghanistan and Iraq,

1426
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:00,640
Speaker 1: and to a far lesser extent Syria, and so you know,

1427
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to discount those. But what you know,

1428
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: so far, we're not hearing anything from this administration about

1429
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:09,639
Speaker 1: an invasion or about regime change. What we're talking about,

1430
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: at least, what we're hearing is UH, you know, severe

1431
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: maximum UH financial pressure, trying to get the administration to

1432
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:21,600
Speaker 1: or rather to get to get the Iranians, according to

1433
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:26,679
Speaker 1: administration demands UH to change core behaviors. Right that, Pompeo

1434
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 1: laid out a number of things that he's just expecting

1435
01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: the Iranians to do, but he summed it up in

1436
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 1: one very easy sentence. He said, I just want the

1437
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,719
Speaker 1: Iranians to be like a normal country. Right, so that means,

1438
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, stopping terrorism and missile provocations and propping up

1439
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 1: dictators and murderers. It's that kind of thing that we're

1440
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 1: trying to get from them. And so far everything that

1441
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 1: we've done is is financial pressure. Now we have just

1442
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 1: actually ordered a carrier group into the Persian Gulf. But

1443
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: as Ambassador John Huntsman's that, this is a one hundred

1444
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 1: thousand tons of diplomacy that ultimately we're backing up what

1445
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 1: we're asking for from the Iranians with the threat of

1446
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 1: military force, but we don't necessarily see anything where the

1447
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: US is geared toward battle. And my hope is that

1448
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:19,559
Speaker 1: it stays that way, that we're going to be able

1449
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:22,639
Speaker 1: to avoid conflict and to get the Iranians to back

1450
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 1: down on the uranium enrichment, but also a lot of

1451
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:28,840
Speaker 1: the other things that have caused us concern for quite

1452
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 1: some time. Yeah, having spent some time in a rock

1453
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:33,759
Speaker 1: and Afghanistan, I just I just don't want anyone listening

1454
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 1: to this to end up, you know, walking the streets

1455
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: of Tehran trying to make sure that a bunch of

1456
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 1: militias aren't shooting at each other again. You know. It's

1457
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 1: just I think we got to make sure we all

1458
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 1: learn the lessons of what we've seen is as you

1459
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 1: mentioned for the last twenty or so years, of what

1460
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: is possible and what is a good idea. But always

1461
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: good to talk to you, mister Jonathan Schanzer from the

1462
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 1: Foundation of Defensive Democracies, Thanks for being on the show,

1463
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,640
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. All right, team give you a

1464
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 1: national security deep dive. Very interesting stuff going on with

1465
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:02,920
Speaker 1: they wrong though, so I think it was important that

1466
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:04,720
Speaker 1: we cover all of that, you're gonna hear a lot

1467
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 1: of whining from the press about how Trump is crazy

1468
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to Iran. Not true, and that's why

1469
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:11,920
Speaker 1: I like to bring on people who really know what's up,

1470
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: know what time it is when it comes to foreign policy,

1471
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,519
Speaker 1: like mister Schanzer. We'll be right back. I worry that

1472
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 1: we're in the same position as the nuclear industry was

1473
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:23,680
Speaker 1: in the early fifties. We have an amazing new technology

1474
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: with real potential, but we are not being honest about

1475
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: the risks and our incapacity to store a wasteful and

1476
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 1: harmful byproduct. The pattern that I've seen in my industry

1477
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 1: is one of deceit. We're not honest about what we collect.

1478
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 1: The problem number one, it seems to me as a

1479
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 1: user agreement. Why don't we just require social media companies

1480
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 1: to write user agreements in plain English? Would that help

1481
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: put the problem? I think that that user givement would

1482
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 1: just say we're taking all your data. Yes or Now

1483
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 1: that's a lot of honesty from the founder of board

1484
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: and internet company that he's testifying. The guy's name is

1485
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 1: Massi Edge Jaglowski. I don't know how to say that

1486
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: as close as I can get he was at a

1487
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:14,679
Speaker 1: Senate Banking Committee hearing. And you know, sure enough, people

1488
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:16,760
Speaker 1: are starting to wake up to what we've been talking

1489
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:20,599
Speaker 1: about here on the show for a long time, and

1490
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:27,799
Speaker 1: that is that the entire Internet system, of social media

1491
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 1: and all these massive platforms, this is a surveillance system, folks.

1492
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: They are they are taking all of your data and

1493
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 1: doing things with it, and you don't know what it

1494
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: is and the month you are the product as in

1495
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 1: your information, your personal habits, your likes, your wants, your needs,

1496
01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 1: and you're giving it to a third party. Now, it's

1497
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:53,240
Speaker 1: okay if you're okay with that, but it should at

1498
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:56,759
Speaker 1: least be open and honest. The fact that Google's motto

1499
01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 1: until pretty recently was don't be evil. I think Google

1500
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 1: doth protest too much. I think Google knew they had

1501
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 1: a problem. But speaking of technology and evil, as some

1502
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: of you know, I think that robo calls are the

1503
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 1: most annoying thing happening in the world of technology right now.

1504
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 1: I absolutely hate them. Right it's Susie, Do you know

1505
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 1: that you've qualified for a new tour of the Bubba?

1506
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 1: You know, No, Susie, No, I do not qualify. This

1507
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 1: is not true. This is a lie. You've won a cruise.

1508
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 1: I have not won a cruise. Susie, stop it. Why

1509
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 1: are you such a doubter? Because I know you're lying,

1510
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 1: Susie or whatever your name is that's calling me. There's

1511
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: now a new This is a safety tip for all

1512
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 1: of you out there. The Federal Communication Commission has been

1513
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 1: putting out warnings about this for robo callers who do

1514
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: what's called a whangeiri scam. I never heard this before.

1515
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 1: A whangeari scam is Japanese for one ring and cut.

1516
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 1: What they do is call you, particularly from a number

1517
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 1: in Sierra Leone or Mauritania. You can see the country

1518
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 1: codes from them two two two or two three two,

1519
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:12,599
Speaker 1: and it's at an odd hour of the night. They

1520
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 1: call once and hang up, and then you think, wow,

1521
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 1: someone's calling me at this hour of the night and

1522
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:20,679
Speaker 1: they hung up like I missed their call. They must

1523
01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: need to talk to me. You call them back and oh,

1524
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 1: that's right. It's calling into a toll number where you

1525
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,680
Speaker 1: will get billed. You will get billed as if you're

1526
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 1: calling a nine hundred number. That's the scam. So not

1527
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 1: only are robo callers annoying and trying to sell products.

1528
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 1: Now they're straight up thieves and people are Look, I

1529
01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:46,800
Speaker 1: would fall for this if I ton't know about it.

1530
01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:49,559
Speaker 1: People fall for this one all the time, calling you

1531
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:51,880
Speaker 1: from a number you don't know it rings. Once hangs up,

1532
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 1: you figure this must be important. They're calling me at

1533
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:56,600
Speaker 1: an odd hour of the night and you call and

1534
01:28:56,600 --> 01:28:58,040
Speaker 1: then they just try to keep you on the phone

1535
01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 1: however they can as long as they can, and you

1536
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:04,639
Speaker 1: for it. Robocallers, friends, this is a This is a scourge.

1537
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 1: There should be a bipartisan effort to eradicate robocalls and

1538
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:12,439
Speaker 1: to severely punish and I mean, like I want to

1539
01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 1: get I want to get crazy East German stazi on

1540
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 1: these robocallers. Track them down, find him, punish them because

1541
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:23,680
Speaker 1: they need to be stopped. This evening, we are in

1542
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:27,439
Speaker 1: the presence of a true legend, an extraordinary athlete who

1543
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:31,839
Speaker 1: has transformed golf and achieved new levels of dominance. Tiger

1544
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 1: Woods is a global symbol of American excellence, devotion, and drive.

1545
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 1: Tiger endured knee surgery and four excruciating back surgeries. I

1546
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 1: know that you remember too. That's not good, but it

1547
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:50,040
Speaker 1: ended up good, including a spinal fusion. In two thou seventeen,

1548
01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:53,880
Speaker 1: he fell from number one in the world rankings to

1549
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:58,360
Speaker 1: one thousand, one hundred and ninety ninth. I don't believe

1550
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:00,679
Speaker 1: that even if he had one leg, I don't believe

1551
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:04,759
Speaker 1: that Tiger's injuries were so profound that for two years

1552
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 1: he could barely swing a club. As Tiger said, there

1553
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 1: was a point in time I didn't know if I'd

1554
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 1: ever do this again, if he'd ever play again. But

1555
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 1: Tiger fought through the terrible pain, and he fought all

1556
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:23,000
Speaker 1: the way back to the Summit of Gold. People love

1557
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 1: a comeback. Trump, I think, in particular, loves a comeback.

1558
01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 1: I think actually the in the Art of the Deal,

1559
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 1: there's on the front cover that made me something about,

1560
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:36,799
Speaker 1: you know, the way to make a great comeback, which

1561
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 1: ties into it's not a secret that Trump had tremendous

1562
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 1: financial difficulties back in the eighties and the nineties as

1563
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 1: a real estate investor and casino operator. I will say,

1564
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:49,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how it's possible to lose money running

1565
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 1: a casino. It's like a license to run a ATM machine.

1566
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:56,679
Speaker 1: But he did lose money doing it. I guess there's

1567
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:59,080
Speaker 1: stuff I don't know about the casino business right now,

1568
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 1: somebody who listens in, that's like bucket's very hard. You

1569
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:06,400
Speaker 1: don't understand. Okay, fine, but President Trump gave the Medal

1570
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:11,599
Speaker 1: of Freedom to Tiger Woods and none other then Nobel

1571
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:14,680
Speaker 1: Prize Laureate, which really makes you think twice about how

1572
01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 1: important and profound the Nobel Prizes. Paul Krugman shared this quote.

1573
01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember when presidential Medals of Freedom

1574
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:27,240
Speaker 1: were given for showing courage and making sacrifices on behalf

1575
01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:30,639
Speaker 1: of the nation in the world. Tiger Woods hits golf

1576
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:35,120
Speaker 1: balls for money. That's from Paul Krugman, New York Times

1577
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:39,759
Speaker 1: op ed columnist and overall curmudgeon who's wrong about everything,

1578
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, leftist curmudgeon who really hasn't had a good

1579
01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 1: idea from what I've seen in the last twenty years.

1580
01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:53,200
Speaker 1: He seems to forget that the mental freedom went to

1581
01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer in two thousand and four. George W. Bush

1582
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:59,160
Speaker 1: gave that one, Jack Nicholas in two thousand and five,

1583
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 1: Charlie Seaford in two thousand and fourteen Obama gave that one.

1584
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, so you have people here who are getting

1585
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 1: the you know, getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom and

1586
01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 1: they're golfers. In fact, there are other people. I think

1587
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 1: there's been some actors. And you know, here's my thing

1588
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 1: about this, I don't really care who gets the Presidential

1589
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 1: Medal of Freedom. I kind of think the whole thing is,

1590
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 1: I don't know, like trophies for adults who cares. Really,

1591
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't really strike me, especially when you're giving it

1592
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:39,080
Speaker 1: to people of cultural note and people that are you know,

1593
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 1: civilians that are doing things that are entertaining interesting worthwhile

1594
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 1: inspiring whatever whatever it may be. But can we at

1595
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 1: least just have criticism of Trump that's based in some reality.

1596
01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 1: Can we not have people saying that Trump is a

1597
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:58,120
Speaker 1: bad guy and doing bad things because he does exactly

1598
01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:01,640
Speaker 1: what his predecessors have done. Wouldn't that be nice if

1599
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:03,840
Speaker 1: we could just have that as a rule. But the

1600
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:06,000
Speaker 1: Paul Krugman's of the world, if they're going to criticize

1601
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 1: Trump and act like he unprecedented, Remember they used to

1602
01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 1: say that all the time, They say it less now

1603
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 1: because they kept on finding out it. It wasn't unprecedented.

1604
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:17,040
Speaker 1: Every president before this president has done something very similar.

1605
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,560
Speaker 1: I'll leave you with this. Here's Tiger Woods in a

1606
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:23,640
Speaker 1: grateful I'm not a golf fan, but I like a

1607
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:26,639
Speaker 1: comeback story too, So we can have a little moment

1608
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 1: of moment of zen here with Tiger Woods enjoying the

1609
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 1: experience that he had. I know this was a few

1610
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 1: days ago, but we didn't talk about it here play nineteen.

1611
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:38,680
Speaker 1: I just want to say, this has been an unbelievable

1612
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 1: experience and to have the support that I've had for

1613
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:47,240
Speaker 1: all these years, some of you from my entire life,

1614
01:33:47,960 --> 01:33:50,240
Speaker 1: and some of you for more than half of my life.

1615
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:53,040
Speaker 1: You've seen the good and the bad, the highs and

1616
01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 1: the lows, and I would not be in this position

1617
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 1: without all of your help. In ninety seven, yes I

1618
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 1: won the Masters, and hugging my dad and my mom.

1619
01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:05,320
Speaker 1: My dad's no longer here, about my mom's here. I

1620
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:08,160
Speaker 1: love your mom. Thank you. You know it was a

1621
01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 1: nice moment for the guy. Look, he's he's made mistakes,

1622
01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:13,639
Speaker 1: no question about it. He's but he's paid some. He's

1623
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:17,959
Speaker 1: paid the price monetarily and otherwise. Miraka loves a comeback.

1624
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:20,840
Speaker 1: Trump loves a comeback. I love a comeback. So I'm

1625
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:25,680
Speaker 1: glad that Tiger managed it. And now we'll do some

1626
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:38,120
Speaker 1: roll call rock and roll. Fellow patriots, we made ours

1627
01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:53,440
Speaker 1: go up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Indeed,

1628
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:59,719
Speaker 1: it is it's time for roll call. Um, let's get

1629
01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 1: in to it, shall we? First? Oh Facebook dot com

1630
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: slash Buck Sexton if you want to be part of

1631
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:08,719
Speaker 1: the action, as you know, And just to reminder, folks,

1632
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:12,240
Speaker 1: next week I will be spending some time in the

1633
01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 1: People's Republic of China as opposed to the People's Republic

1634
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:19,840
Speaker 1: of DC. So we are lining up a rock star

1635
01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 1: group of guest hosts for you. But I'll be out

1636
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:26,920
Speaker 1: for the week and we're gonna have assuming we get

1637
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:30,760
Speaker 1: everybody slotted in properly and according to their schedules, we

1638
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:33,720
Speaker 1: should be having. Well, we don't know everybody, yets. I

1639
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't say, but I think certainly Raheem Kassam, Harland Hill,

1640
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:38,840
Speaker 1: Ben Wein Gardner. We got a whole bunch of folks,

1641
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:42,360
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be fun. Rachel writes, Hey, Buck, you

1642
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 1: ask for a book recommendation. I have one. I know

1643
01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:47,840
Speaker 1: you like history and was wondering if you've heard or

1644
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:51,800
Speaker 1: read the book The Silk Roads by Peter Franco Pan.

1645
01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:56,599
Speaker 1: It's a great read. I have not and that sounds awesome.

1646
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 1: Rachel and I just wrote it down because that sounds

1647
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:03,640
Speaker 1: like a perfect thing to read on the plane to China.

1648
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:05,880
Speaker 1: You have a China. You have a China, drop mark.

1649
01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:07,720
Speaker 1: Don't be shy about it. By the way, if you

1650
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:11,840
Speaker 1: ever want to throw, you've got it there. It's it's

1651
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 1: in front of you. There we go. Don't ever be

1652
01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:19,640
Speaker 1: during roll call. Don't be shy with those drops. Stetson,

1653
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:23,240
Speaker 1: cool name, Hi again, Buck. You made me think of

1654
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:26,719
Speaker 1: something last night. Even if Congress succeeded somehow and impeaching

1655
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 1: and removing Trump from office, that wouldn't bar him from

1656
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:32,760
Speaker 1: running in twenty twenty. The twenty second Amendment doesn't prevent it.

1657
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:36,799
Speaker 1: In orders anything an article too apparently interesting. Huh well, Stetson,

1658
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 1: I I suppose that's true, but I think he would

1659
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,120
Speaker 1: be very hard for a president who had his own

1660
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:47,400
Speaker 1: party go along with removing him from office to run

1661
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:51,760
Speaker 1: and win. But I think that that is I guess

1662
01:36:51,760 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 1: you're correct. You could be removed from office and then

1663
01:36:54,120 --> 01:37:00,240
Speaker 1: technically run again. Lowell. All right, Buck, I listen into

1664
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:03,559
Speaker 1: your podcast every day. You are, in my opinion, the

1665
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:05,639
Speaker 1: most honest provider of the news of the day. Thank

1666
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,719
Speaker 1: you well, Lowell. In my opinion, you have by far

1667
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 1: the most wise and excellent taste in podcasts. I drive

1668
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:15,360
Speaker 1: a one hundred fifty two hundred miles a day and

1669
01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:18,519
Speaker 1: live deep in the country of northeastern Michigan. I'm out

1670
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:20,559
Speaker 1: of the range of conservative radio here. But I also

1671
01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:23,360
Speaker 1: quit listening to broadcast news ten years ago. Got tired

1672
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:25,720
Speaker 1: of being told what to think. I just want the

1673
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:27,880
Speaker 1: news one time and not all day long. I'm so

1674
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:29,960
Speaker 1: much less stressed than happier in life in general. Tell

1675
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:33,400
Speaker 1: everyone to turn off the broadcast news, just listen to

1676
01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 1: your podcast. The hardest part of my day is when

1677
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm in a customer's home and they have CNN or

1678
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:43,240
Speaker 1: MSNBC on. Oh the horror. I get caught laughing at

1679
01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:45,160
Speaker 1: the stupidity that comes out of their mouths, or grumbling

1680
01:37:45,200 --> 01:37:48,080
Speaker 1: under my breath a bit shields hie ps. I love

1681
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:51,000
Speaker 1: the new web page layout and the Beard kudos. Thank

1682
01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 1: you so much, Lowell. Appreciate it, my friend, and I

1683
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:57,200
Speaker 1: agree with you that folks should just stop watching broadcast

1684
01:37:57,240 --> 01:38:00,280
Speaker 1: news and they should listen to the Bucks. Next in

1685
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:03,759
Speaker 1: show that is That is the answer to the question

1686
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 1: that we are posing to ourselves here, Jeff writes, awesome

1687
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:09,920
Speaker 1: radio book. Really like hearing your background experience applied to

1688
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:13,000
Speaker 1: current topics. Shields High, Thank you, Jeff. Yeah, I didn't

1689
01:38:13,040 --> 01:38:15,120
Speaker 1: go to like journalism school, and just I just want

1690
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 1: to be a journalist and I just want to report

1691
01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:20,680
Speaker 1: and be like a reporter. No. I I was going

1692
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:22,360
Speaker 1: to be a government guy, and then I was going

1693
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 1: to be a private sector making money guy, and then

1694
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:27,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden became a media guy. So kind

1695
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:32,200
Speaker 1: of just go where the wind takes me. Christopher. Right, So,

1696
01:38:32,400 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if this is how you do roll call. Well, Christopher,

1697
01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:37,400
Speaker 1: you're fighting out now. If you're listening that it is.

1698
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm on the left coast, I know, but I'm a

1699
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 1: podcast listener. I'm upset about those god awful commercials that

1700
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:45,400
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. I know you need advertising, but

1701
01:38:45,479 --> 01:38:47,599
Speaker 1: can you do something about this? I would even pay

1702
01:38:47,680 --> 01:38:50,519
Speaker 1: to avoid them, Shields High. Well, Christopher, you know, maybe

1703
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:54,599
Speaker 1: at some point we'll go to a paid subscription podcast model.

1704
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:56,800
Speaker 1: If enough folks were interested in that, I'd be happy

1705
01:38:56,800 --> 01:38:59,599
Speaker 1: to do that. I think that would be that would

1706
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 1: be great in a lot of ways, and do some extras.

1707
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:04,760
Speaker 1: But we're We're working on all kinds of plans. I

1708
01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:07,160
Speaker 1: will it is duly noted and everyone listening to the

1709
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:09,000
Speaker 1: show has certainly heard that. It has noted that the

1710
01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:12,519
Speaker 1: commercials are not what you are liking to hear on

1711
01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:16,040
Speaker 1: the podcast, And maybe we'll do a subscription. I was thinking,

1712
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:18,439
Speaker 1: and if I got enough people interested in this, I

1713
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:20,479
Speaker 1: would just do a subscription that was specifically for a

1714
01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 1: Shields High and that was like history and those kind

1715
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:25,200
Speaker 1: of deep dives. It wouldn't need that many people that

1716
01:39:25,240 --> 01:39:27,479
Speaker 1: would want to subscribe to make it make it worthwhile

1717
01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:31,559
Speaker 1: from a production standpoint. You know, we got to I

1718
01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:33,960
Speaker 1: don't know, a couple of thousand folks. I think even

1719
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:37,400
Speaker 1: that would probably be worthwhile. Which is a tiny, tiny,

1720
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 1: tiny fraction of how many people are listening to this.

1721
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:43,920
Speaker 1: You know, it is less than less than a one

1722
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:45,800
Speaker 1: That is less than one percent of who was listening

1723
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:48,880
Speaker 1: to this show every day. So I got to figure

1724
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:51,400
Speaker 1: that out. I gotta take a look and to see

1725
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:55,520
Speaker 1: if that's a possibility. I like the digital world endless possibilities,

1726
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:57,639
Speaker 1: although people have to get used to if you want

1727
01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:00,760
Speaker 1: certain content in the digital realm, you've got support either.

1728
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:03,200
Speaker 1: It's like artists, my friend. You know, someone had to

1729
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 1: pay Michelangelo's bills. You know Michelangelo needed pasta to eat too.

1730
01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:11,560
Speaker 1: Did I just compare myself doing history podcast to Michelangelo?

1731
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:15,599
Speaker 1: I don't know. I leave that to you, David riots Buck.

1732
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:18,479
Speaker 1: I'm Oss, been a fan since the beginning. I used

1733
01:40:18,479 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 1: to listen to you when I was serving as a

1734
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 1: US naval attache in Tunisia, and still do now that

1735
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm retired and live in Jerusalem. Can you please do

1736
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:28,559
Speaker 1: a deep dive on the Wigers and PRC re education

1737
01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:33,439
Speaker 1: camps People's Republic of China. That is Thanks David, Well, David,

1738
01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:36,160
Speaker 1: thank you for being Oss. It's an honor. You know.

1739
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm approaching now. We're not quite at a decade of

1740
01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:41,920
Speaker 1: the Bucks Exton Show, but we're getting into the in

1741
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 1: the realm of we'll have to have some real thought

1742
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,599
Speaker 1: about where we'll do a live event for ten years

1743
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:50,720
Speaker 1: of the Bucks Exton Show. I think we're at year

1744
01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 1: eight now, so it's coming up on us pretty quickly.

1745
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:57,880
Speaker 1: And as for the Wigers and re education camps to

1746
01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:00,880
Speaker 1: the People's Republic of China, I like that idea as

1747
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:04,920
Speaker 1: a topic. I just think that I probably should wait

1748
01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:09,280
Speaker 1: to do a deep dive on weager oppression until I

1749
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:13,320
Speaker 1: come back from China. If that's okay, I'm gonna I'm

1750
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 1: gonna not poke that bear or the dragon if you

1751
01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:20,120
Speaker 1: will before I head over there. I'm just going as

1752
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:22,679
Speaker 1: a tourists, just going to hang out, do some things,

1753
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,160
Speaker 1: see some sights, you know, come out to the coast

1754
01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:29,840
Speaker 1: that a few lefts. That is the plan. But thank

1755
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:34,639
Speaker 1: you so much, David. Eric has written me this. This

1756
01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 1: military officer was one of the best Air Force officers ever.

1757
01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:42,200
Speaker 1: He was instrumental in planning Operation Bolow in Vietnam, that

1758
01:41:42,280 --> 01:41:45,919
Speaker 1: Delta decisive air to air combat blow against the Miggs

1759
01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:51,599
Speaker 1: in Vietnam fighter pilot the Memoirs of legendary Ace Robin Olds.

1760
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:54,320
Speaker 1: I will also write this one down. Eric. I've never

1761
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 1: heard of it, but it sounds cool and if you

1762
01:41:55,960 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 1: recommend it, I will check it out. In Rights WHOA Kevin?

1763
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 1: This is? This is long, so I'm not gonna get

1764
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:10,360
Speaker 1: to this right now, but I will read it. I promise.

1765
01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:15,320
Speaker 1: Here we go. Michael writes Buck, I'm sorry, my friend.

1766
01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:18,800
Speaker 1: I no longer believe that all these left wing politicians

1767
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:23,040
Speaker 1: and bureaucrats will face justice unless something big changes and

1768
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that anything is really going to change

1769
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:28,280
Speaker 1: shields High Michael, I agree with you. I don't think

1770
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:32,200
Speaker 1: that there's going to be a reckoning in terms of

1771
01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:36,400
Speaker 1: consequences for the various Deep State actors and people that

1772
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:41,439
Speaker 1: were working so hard to destroy, undermine Trump's campaign and

1773
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 1: then destroy Trump's campaign or his presidency. Rather, I don't

1774
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:48,120
Speaker 1: think that those people are going to be held to

1775
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:52,680
Speaker 1: account in any serious way. And I do not mislead you,

1776
01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:54,479
Speaker 1: and I do not need to leave this audience by

1777
01:42:54,520 --> 01:42:56,600
Speaker 1: saying things that I know who get people riled up

1778
01:42:56,600 --> 01:43:00,559
Speaker 1: and get attention, but I think aren't true. Though. Who

1779
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:04,559
Speaker 1: are OSS know that I was saying right away after

1780
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:07,240
Speaker 1: Romney lost the twenty twelve election that you can forget

1781
01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:11,080
Speaker 1: about any real justice for what happened in Benghazi because

1782
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:13,960
Speaker 1: the people that are responsible for it in charge, and

1783
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:15,840
Speaker 1: that's just the way it went. I said this, people

1784
01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 1: got mad, and he said no, buck the hearings and

1785
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 1: Trey Gaudy and it nope, nope. Hillary got away with it.

1786
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:25,760
Speaker 1: No real consequences for her didn't even factor into her

1787
01:43:26,080 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen campaign all that much, which was pretty but

1788
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:32,080
Speaker 1: that's because the emails. I think were Benghazi Hillary became

1789
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:35,439
Speaker 1: lock her Up Hillary because of the emails. But I

1790
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 1: don't think that you'll see justice meeted out against the

1791
01:43:39,439 --> 01:43:42,040
Speaker 1: individuals responsible. But that doesn't mean that there won't be

1792
01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:46,080
Speaker 1: some measure of justice achieved. If we find out the truth,

1793
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 1: then at least the American people know, or those in

1794
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 1: America who have an open mind to the truth will

1795
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 1: know what really happened and can maybe bring some electoral

1796
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: consequences to the party that was responsible for it, which

1797
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 1: as we know is the left and the Democrat Party.

1798
01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:06,160
Speaker 1: But no, I don't think I think they're all gonna skate.

1799
01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:10,760
Speaker 1: I even think somehow Andy McCabe lying under oath doesn't matter.

1800
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:14,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna find a way to just stretch that out.

1801
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:17,000
Speaker 1: And you know, he's he's a martyr to the anti

1802
01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 1: Trump left, so they'll let him. They'll let him skate,

1803
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 1: and they really will. We have Dave Writes got a

1804
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:30,040
Speaker 1: question if a professional baseball player says he did not

1805
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:31,439
Speaker 1: want to go to the White House because of what

1806
01:44:31,479 --> 01:44:35,439
Speaker 1: the President did not do to help Puerto Rico. FEMA

1807
01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:37,439
Speaker 1: can do so much. They're only allowed to bring it

1808
01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:40,240
Speaker 1: back to the original state before the emergency. So my

1809
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:42,519
Speaker 1: question is if a person has on a one time

1810
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:45,040
Speaker 1: with the president chooses to boycott the sports dinner with

1811
01:44:45,080 --> 01:44:47,479
Speaker 1: the president, that does not make sense. He has the

1812
01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:50,799
Speaker 1: opportunity to talk to Trump and confront him about the situation.

1813
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:54,720
Speaker 1: Why not take the opportunity, Oh, Dave, because people like

1814
01:44:54,840 --> 01:44:56,880
Speaker 1: to do a lot of virtue signaling, and you know, oh,

1815
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:59,160
Speaker 1: they won't talk to they won't talk to this president.

1816
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:01,479
Speaker 1: Oh no, not this president. Of this president so bad

1817
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:06,000
Speaker 1: and scary. Ah. Yeah, that's that's the basics of it.

1818
01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 1: That's the more or less. Let's see we have here.

1819
01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:14,680
Speaker 1: Michelle writes, horse Racing Nation has a film of the

1820
01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:18,639
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby. An angle work clearly shows war a Will's

1821
01:45:18,720 --> 01:45:22,360
Speaker 1: foot got in between Maximum Security's back feet and caused

1822
01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:24,680
Speaker 1: him to veer to the side. The stewards might not

1823
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:26,600
Speaker 1: have had access to this angle. This proved it is

1824
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:29,479
Speaker 1: war of Will that should have been disqualified. This is

1825
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:31,840
Speaker 1: why the jockey of War of Will did not lodge

1826
01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:37,040
Speaker 1: a complaint. I personally will never watch another horse race again.

1827
01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:39,960
Speaker 1: We need to all protest this until Maximum Securities win

1828
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 1: is restored. According to Bob Baffair for Baffort, I don't

1829
01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:48,599
Speaker 1: know he's the best bafforld in the Baffort. Thank you. Producer.

1830
01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:50,920
Speaker 1: Mike's actually an American, he knows these things. He's the

1831
01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:53,200
Speaker 1: best three year old in the country. And the disqualification

1832
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:55,839
Speaker 1: was completely wrong. Mike. What do you make of Michelle's

1833
01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:59,759
Speaker 1: missive here she spot on and exactly what I said yesterday.

1834
01:45:59,800 --> 01:46:02,320
Speaker 1: When mainstream media says that the day all got it right,

1835
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:05,240
Speaker 1: that means that they got it wrong. And she's right,

1836
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 1: they got it wrong. He should have won. There we go.

1837
01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:11,160
Speaker 1: Now it's between Michelle and producer Mike. Now it's gospel.

1838
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:13,960
Speaker 1: Now we know they got it wrong. Exactly. That's gonna

1839
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:17,000
Speaker 1: be it for today's edition of The Buck Sexton Show.

1840
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:20,240
