Everybody. Great to have you 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.680 here with me Scaturday. I'd be able to address you 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.880 as always from the Swamp is swamp tastic here. It's 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.480 that kind of swampy noess where you walk outside and 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.120 you feel like you're swimming, and then you realize you're 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.120 just swimming in yourself because it's so sweaty and so gross, 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.560 and you'd like to think that maybe you're gliding through 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.880 the air, but no, you're actually just a glistening, greasy 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:31.760 mess walking around the streets of swampy DC, surrounded by 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:36.400 lobbyists and creatures of the government's terrifying thing. At least 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.560 I get to come in here. This this is, uh, 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.360 this is my happy place. I think we can't call 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.320 it a safe space because that would be snowflake like. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.760 No producer Mike has given thumbs down. This is my 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:51.440 happy place. The Freedom Hunt, my friends. So let's uh, 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.919 let's discuss what we're gonna be hitting today on the show. Well, actually, 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.880 I'll just get right into it. Immigration is a topic 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:04.760 that you'll notice Democrats don't really have a specific policy 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.440 that they want to push. It's much more a question 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:14.880 of posturing, right. It's it's a way of achieving cheap 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:20.840 virtue of virtue signaling without having any uh challenges to 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.880 to overcome with that any without any skin in the game, 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.920 without making any tough choices. You just get to say, 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.960 you know, America is a nation of immigrants. Look at 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.480 the poem on the bottom of the Statue of Liberty 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.400 and you're like, well, that's not that's not enough, and 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.400 you might start to say things like have you ever 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:45.040 considered random pajama boy liberal that a lot of other 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:49.480 countries have immigration policies that you would inherently consider to 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:54.360 be perhaps racist, was inophobic because they meaning other countries 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.640 pretty much every other country on the planet, at least 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.360 every other country that anybody wants to go to. They 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.760 take the approach of what can we do that is 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.240 of greatest benefit, what can we do that is of 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.200 greatest benefit for our people, not what can we do 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:15.760 that would make us seem the most charitable. The posturing 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:21.880 of Democrats on immigration is largely premise upon is largely 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:27.680 built upon America as a soup kitchen for the world's 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.800 needy and a job's program for those who are going 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:35.600 to need additional assistance. That's how Democrats approach this. Right, 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.200 we we are a place where anyone can seek shelter 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.559 from the storm of the rest of the world, which 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.240 sounds really nice, but when you're twenty trillion dollars in 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.240 debt and now running close to a trillion dollars a 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.520 year even under Republican president, and when you have a 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:55.120 political culture as well as just a culture, culture to 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.560 maintain an uphold when assimilation is supposed to be the 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:05.040 bed of your immigration policy, not a a series of 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:10.560 Balkanized mini states within the United States. That's when you 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.080 really need to stop and think, hold on what is 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:17.039 going on here? And when you hear what the left 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.440 is saying right now, it should be troubling to every American. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.640 I mean, going into this mid term, understand that they 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:29.200 will be pushing for amnesty. They will be pushing for 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.440 that and nothing else on immigration. They do not want 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.000 to secure border. In fact, what the Obama administration accomplished 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:43.160 through really deceit in the second term. In obama second 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.839 term at the border was to appear to be acting 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.080 within some semblance of the law, but really to create 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:55.039 a massive, intentional open door policy for people who arrived 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.760 with children and then leave that problem for the Trump 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.640 administration to clean up and get yelled at and oh 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.400 my gosh, all the talking points come flying out about 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.920 how they're so you know, so mean, so cruel, so hartless. 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:14.000 There you're separating children. Oh but Obama separated children too, 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.120 Did you know that, No he didn't, Well, yes he did. 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:19.960 How many of the children that are showing up at 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.680 the border in fact, unaccompanying the first place. Where are 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.080 those parents? By the way, dude, you know, do we 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.400 ever get to address that component here? You're gonna send 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:33.440 your kid or allow your kid to travel through Mexico unaccompanied, 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:38.000 perhaps enlist the services of a coyote, a human trafficker 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.640 to get them into the country, putting children. I mean, 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.160 this is child and danger mint folks. You don't hear 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:48.120 people saying that, do you. They're endangering children by allowing 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:49.640 them to do this at the border, and the United 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:54.800 States in our very I think undervalued in this moment. 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.680 Benevolence at the border is taking people in, feeding them, 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.720 clothing them, housing them, may king sure that they are 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:05.560 they have medical care. And we're now to be called 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.400 Nazis for this, and and I don't mean that that 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:13.560 I'm not exaggerating their exaggeration. They are saying this. As 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.880 I've told you before, my own boss, former boss at 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.720 the CIA, Mike Hayden, someone I knew to be a 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.800 pretty smart and squared away guy at the time, has 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.960 just lost it. He is suffering from Trump derangement syndrome, 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.120 tweeting out photos of concentration camps and saying that's what's 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.920 going on the border. But you see the problem with 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:39.880 the Democrats taking these positions and posing in this way 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.200 as some kind of moral champion without having to make 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.239 any difficult choices on immigration, is that they keep upping 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.440 the anti for each other as well. They will say 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.360 more and more inflammatory, inflammatory and untrue things about what's 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.000 really happening at the border. They will ramp up the 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.600 rhetoric about how Trump is a racist and a xenophobe, 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.720 and his policies are all out you know, keeping America 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.320 or making America white. And you know, this is what 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.400 they'll say, This is what the rhetoric turns into, and 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.440 nothing really sounds too crazy for them. Um. You know, 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:13.920 I didn't get a chance to mention this to you, 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:18.000 but there was a a play performed out in Los 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.400 Angeles last week where they had the It was the 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.120 Diary of Ann Frank, something I'm sure you're all familiar with, 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.800 right and Frank in Amsterdam. She was a Jewish teenager 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.320 who with her family was hiding from the Nazis and 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.840 wrote a diary and then I mean it does not 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.080 does not have a happy ending. Um. They did that 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:44.360 play in Los Angeles, but instead of Nazis, it was 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:49.200 ICE agents. How many of you have seen major news 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.880 coverage of what's going on in Portland last week. I've 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.800 talked to you about the encampment and the feces, and 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.960 the assaults on officers, the dock sing of ICE officers. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.560 These are a tax on federal agents. Folks. You know, 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.840 we're all supposed to be worried about Jim Acosta as 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.640 he stares into the mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall. 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.839 Who is the handsomest Acosta of all? Oh? Man, I'm 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.960 just a journalist. Man, I'm just doing my job, trying 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.640 to speak truth to power. Sure, y'all, buddy, that's cute. 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.400 It's a clever, little little pose you've taken. We're supposed 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.040 to be worried about the civility towards Acosta. Meanwhile, you've 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:27.640 got ICE officers being threatened and menaced and harassed for 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:33.760 doing their jobs in Portland, Oregon, very little media coverage 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.640 of this. You have journalists being assaulted for covering the 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.840 insanity of the anti ICE protests because they don't want 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.600 people to really know the truth. They just want to 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.120 share it on their own little anarchist live streams, and 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.000 we will get into some more of the rhetoric that 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:56.319 we're hearing from people, um the Morning Joe Show, which 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.120 I just I would be wondering at some point other 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:05.440 than uh, you know, hair products and pastel sweaters, Like 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:09.040 what does Joe Scarborough stand for right now? I don't know. 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.200 I couldn't tell you what the answer is, other than 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.719 it feels like he stands for Joe Scarborough. I don't 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.640 know the man. I just know his work. Never met him, 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.800 never talked to him, don't care to. But you know 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.840 he doesn't care to talk to me. Who cares? Uh? 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:27.040 But his work is embarrassing these days on television. I 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.640 see what's going on there, and you know, others call him, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.240 have have cute names for him, which I can't repeat 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.319 because it's their name for him, not mine. But he 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:39.720 had on his show a professor who has who is 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.920 making here? It sounds like to me some kind of 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:49.439 comparison between slavery, the issue of slavery, and Ice putting 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.160 this on the same moral plane. You've got to hear 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.400 this play clip three. I want to ask a question 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.520 about the moral crisis that Ice has put the nation 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.600 at particularly eighteen fifty there was the Fugitive Slave Law. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.920 And because the Fugitive Slave Law did what it did, 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.960 suddenly the issue of slavery was nationalized. It wasn't just 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.000 in the South. Now, it was a moral question that 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.880 even Emerson had to confront in Massachusetts. So now we 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.520 have Ice, the crisis of Ice. We have people trying 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.360 to protect their family members from being snatched from them, 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.199 this fear that you talked about. How has ice, this 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:27.000 two increase of jail transfers, the increase in the rest, 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.600 How has this created a kind of moral crisis that 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:35.720 is nationalized now, a nationalized moral crisis on the same plane, 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.760 or at least spoken of in the same paragraph as slavery. 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.600 That's what you're hearing now on cable news shows with 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:48.320 supposed experts and political analysts. I've got an idea. If 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.760 you don't want to be separated from your family at 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:55.120 the border, don't illegally cross into the United States at 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.679 the border. You know, this is what they What they 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.120 don't tell you is that a a majority of the 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.800 people who are being first of all, the majority of 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:08.080 the youths in detention by immigrations and Customs enforcement are 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.760 arriving unaccompanied. You don't hear that many places, do you 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.679 not exactly great parenting going on in some of these situations, 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.360 is there, but you know, not allowed to say that. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.680 And then when you add to it that they're crossing 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.880 illegally in the country. It's illegal for anyone to cross 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.200 outside of a port of entry. They're trying, folks to 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:29.000 sneak in, getting caught and then saying, yeah, I want asylum, 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.800 Give me asylum, because I've been told that if you say, oh, 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.880 my country is too violent, I might get asylum here. 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.920 Why don't we even have an immigration pology to show 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:40.839 up save it from Central America and say that you 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.040 want asylum? You don't. How many do you have any 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.160 papers and documents? Not I don't have any because you 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.800 know MS thir team stole them from me. Oh, I 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.440 guess we have to let you into the country and 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.839 hopefully we'll see you in five years for your court date. 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.440 That is the reality of immigration at the southern border 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:59.559 right now. You might say to yourself, a buck that 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.319 doesn't see and like much of a policy at all. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:06.200 And also, are we allowed to have There's some fundamental 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:10.080 philosophical questions that democrats do not get pushed on, and 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.160 I keep saying that this is the conversation we should 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.600 really have. I want to ask democrats who can't squirm 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.760 out of answering it, who should who who shouldn't be 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.560 allowed to stay in this country. I want to know 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.280 what what person that's arrived in the United States in 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:30.560 the last year and and is illegal in this country 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.600 they would be okay with us sending home? Is it 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.160 just rapists and murderers that are they're allowed to be 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.960 expelled from the country because if that is how they feel, 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:43.160 then they are officially for open borders. How many of 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.600 you even saw the headline from DHS that you had 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:54.000 six hundred thousand visa overstays last year alone. Now a 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.240 good portion of those are students, but a lot of 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:01.200 them aren't. And by the way those students, maybe some 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:02.760 of them decide they just want to stay as well. 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.040 But for those who aren't students, those who come here 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:07.560 and decide to just blend into the rest of the 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.920 country and forget about the fact that they're not allowed 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.760 to be here as permanent residents. Think of how easy 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.800 this is if six hundred thousand visa overstays came to 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.960 the country last year, and you start adding this up, 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:25.800 let's say only a fraction of them planning to stay forever. Well, 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.280 that's at least maybe let's call it a hundred two 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.120 hundred thousand a year that are just and they're not 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.400 coming through the southern border. They're just flying in staying, 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.240 which is also why I'm sorry, I do not believe 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.200 the number eleven million. They've kept it the same for 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.560 as long as they have because they realize that the 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.000 American people knew the full extent of what has happened 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.320 in this country with illegal immigration, they would freak out, 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:53.200 and rightly so it's more like fifteen to twenty million. 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.000 And I've argued with some immigration hawks on this, but 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.480 it just doesn't make sense. I'm sorry. People are not 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.920 going back to Mexico by the million ends. It's not happening. 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.160 And when you look at the numbers, you've got hundreds 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.120 and hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings year in and 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.720 year out. They're not illegal crossing because they, you know, 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:15.320 want to make a quick trip to Costco. Democrats do 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.360 not have answers. They have moral postures. They are unwilling 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:22.760 to be pushed on these issues to to give real answers, 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.440 because if they were sharing their real answers with the 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.040 American people there, we would there be a political revolt 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:33.840 against them. Well, you're just I've even gotten We've got 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.640 so much more here from what they've been saying about Ice, 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.360 and there's just craziness, folks. So we're really gonna dive 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.240 in immigration this hour. By the way, my friend Ben 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.640 Weinarten will be joining us later on the show. He's 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:48.000 done some great work on Feinstein and her ties to China. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.800 So and we've also got David Harsan you joining and 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.880 we'll talk to him about d platforming and these First 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.280 Amendment battles. So I might talk to him and then 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.720 come back to some of this immigration stuff. Yeah, I 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.560 got a lot. Here's I like it when I get 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.520 to just determine what matters instead of, oh, here's a 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.200 blaring headline. We in the hut, my friends, we'd like 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.320 to roll up the sleeves and take Okam's razor like 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:18.240 a chainsawt of the nonsense. We'll be right back as sent. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:26.080 You wary city, Yeah, assent, you wary city. Yeah, assent 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:30.040 you wary city. Yeah, that's the mayor of Philadelphia. We 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:31.480 played there for a couple of times. You could really 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.880 hear it. Jim Kenny, who is who is who is 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:35.960 literally dancing in that clip and you could hear him 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:41.360 singing excited, how excited he is that Philadelphia is a 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:48.240 sanctuary city. And you know, as as people like like 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:53.400 this guy, who are supposed to be government officials who 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:57.280 first and foremost will protect their constituents, keep in mind 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.240 that this is what this is what the other side 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.640 of a sanctuary city is. Here is DHS Secretary of 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:07.720 Kyrsten Nielsen on what happened in Philadelphia recently, playlip five. 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.640 It could have been prevented, and it should have been prevented. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:13.960 We owe the American people better. I mean, this is 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:18.280 a perfect example of when jurisdictions decide not to cooperate 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.320 with federal law enforcement, we put our communities at risk. 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.280 I mean, what that required was that the men and 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.840 women of DHS go back into community at their own 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.840 risk and the risk of the community where the criminal 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:34.480 is to try to reinterdict and detain that person. Yeah, 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.919 that's right. So what she's referring to is a is 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:44.040 a child rapist there, a child rapist who because Philadelphia 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.600 is a sanctuary city, was able to slip through the cracks. 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:50.200 Here's the story on Fox News, the Justice Department highlighted 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.800 the case of child rapist wand Ramon Vasquez, who just 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.520 pleaded guilty to illegal re entry. The illegal immigrant from 0:17:56.560 --> 0:18:00.600 Honduras previously was in Philadelphia custody on local charges back 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.880 but when those charges were dropped a year later, city 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:09.159 officials ignored an ice detainer. Vasquez was later arrested and 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.919 convicted for raping a child and unlawful sexual contact with 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.320 a minor. He's been serving between eight and twenty years 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:22.680 in prison. So Philadelphia decided to be a sanctuary city. 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:27.080 And Philadelphia on top of that, now I should have 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.520 on its conscience, the mayor Kennedy should have on their 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:34.080 conscience that they released as a matter of policy, is 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:39.560 one Ramone Vasquez instead of honoring a federal law enforcement 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.199 request to hey, hold on that guy, We're coming to 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:42.959 get him. Is no, no, no, Let's let him go 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.240 folks because they are a sanctuary city, right you heard 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.280 that guy. They're so excited about it. It's such a 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:58.159 great thing. And that criminal raped a little girl afterwards, 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.959 something that will want her for the rest of her 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.960 life and her family and those who love her and 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:07.840 those around her. But you know, we're a nation of immigrants, 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:12.640 right like we we shouldn't actually obey federal law. This 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:16.040 is what we were up against. Liberals who are un 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:20.119 serious about what immigration policy really is. They're un serious 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:23.600 about rule of law, and they do not care about 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.960 the negative side effects of their open arms, open door, 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.800 open borders policy because it makes them feel good, you see, 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.959 because they're not the ones that stuffer the consequences, and 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.000 they get to act like they just care so much. 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:39.959 And if you don't agree with them, well that's because, 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:55.720 my friends, because you're not nice like they are. He's 0:19:55.760 --> 0:20:01.480 holding the line for America, Buck Sexton his back team. 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.080 I want to take a quick break from talking about 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.440 immigration and switched to the fight for the First Amendment, 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.439 which is underway right now in ways that I think 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.199 people are just beginning to grasp. We've got somebody's been 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.760 very thoughtful on this issue. And uh, I didn't even 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:16.640 say on the front lines of the fight for First 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:20.520 Amendment freedom. It's a lot of literation. Though. David Harsani 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.639 is with us. He is a senior senior writer at 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.959 the federalist and also the author of First Freedom Arrived 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.760 through America's enduring history with the gun. David, great to 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.960 have you. Thanks for having me. Always a pleasure. So 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.800 you've got this piece. I caught my attention right today. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:40.879 Social media giants shouldn't be arbiters of appropriate speech. Um, 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.560 you know, I I would love to think that this 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:45.879 is gonna catch on, David, but I'm really worried that 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:49.760 liberals have now awoken to the power they have, that 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.960 the wokenus is going to be something that is now 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:57.040 pushing the social media platforms to just start playing favorites 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:58.880 and you and I know that conservatives are gonna lose 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:03.440 this one, right, I mean, and that's why it's complicated. 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:05.200 I mean, if you believe in a lot of people 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.479 in my Twitter feed and elsewhere, I hear you know, 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:10.760 arguing that we should you know that Twitter and Google 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.600 and uh, you know, Facebook or like utilities and they 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:15.680 need to be fair. And it reminds me of sort 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:18.000 of the fairness doctrine or something like that. I think 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:20.359 it's a bad idea because in the end, liberals always 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.240 use the power of the state better than conservatives, and 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:25.359 you're gonna end up losing that. That's besides the whole 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:27.399 idea of having the state involved in speech in the 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:31.000 first place. Um. On the other hand, we already see 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:33.840 the sort of thing going on where liberals, for instance, 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:35.080 go after the n r A. You know, if you 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:37.600 start calling people terrorists and then you ask Apple to 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:39.840 take them off their platform, then it's it's really what 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.119 you're doing, Alex Jones and so forth. I'm not comparing 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:44.520 Alex Jones to the n r A. I'm saying that 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:47.320 liberals compare them to each other. And that's the problem. 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.159 They they conflate those two sorts of things because in 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.439 the end they really want to go after mainstream conservatives 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:57.160 and and this whole notion of conversational health. By the way, 0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.920 No Dorsey, who's the CEO of Twitter. He's been kind 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.040 later to this one than some of the others, but 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:06.720 he's the the quote conversational health guy. Either. That's if 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:10.520 that catches on, that's a terrifying phrase. Yeah, I mean, 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.400 you know, it's you know, there's this thing where where, 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:16.320 for instance, let's just say anti semitism, so I'm Jewish, 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:18.879 I get some of that on Twitter, and you know, 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:21.760 we start treating words as if it's the same thing 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:23.800 as someone not giving me a job because I'm Jewish. Here, 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.400 I'm saying, we treat you, know, so you can hear 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.680 something bad and you can push the mute button or 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:32.240 the block button. Um, I don't, you know. I just 0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:35.119 don't understand why we start when, or when we started 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.280 treating speech as if it was some kind of assault 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:40.840 or terrorism. I'm sorry, I get offended quite often. I 0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:43.639 just turn it off or muted or or or just 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.000 deal with it. We've become this nation where we can't 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:47.800 hear anything we don't like. I don't. I've never clicked 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:50.120 on an info war Zounds Jones link in my life, 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:52.760 I don't think. And my life was going on fine. 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:55.000 I don't really care about him or that channel, but 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:58.600 I do care that that we're going to have billionaire 0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:01.360 CEOs deciding what speech is acceptable for people to hear. 0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:03.240 I mean, they can do it, but I don't. I 0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:05.159 just don't think it's the right thing because then now 0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:07.639 they put themselves into a position where they have to 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:11.640 sort of be adjudicate every kind of word and speech 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:14.040 and in sight and and it just seems like a 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:16.520 slippery slope. Even though I know that's sort of cliche. Well, 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:21.400 I I keep saying, or keep seeing rather these notifications 0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:26.439 that fellow conservatives get for essentially a complaint being lodged 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:28.280 against them, and they'll show the tweet and they'll show 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:30.760 the message from Twitter, and to me, I mean, this 0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:33.840 is just it's a it's intimidation. I mean, it's it's 0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:37.040 obviously just meant to to put people on notice that 0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:40.040 you know, we're gonna try, We're gonna keep taking shots 0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:41.840 at your ability to be on these platforms if you're 0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:44.600 a conservative, even if they're frivolous, until we hit one 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:46.520 and knock you off. And that's going to be in 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:48.040 the back of your mind every time you want to 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:51.840 share a thought on something right. And you know, and 0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:55.080 in some sense, your livelihood or many people's livelihood, is 0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:57.919 tied to their social media presence. And then if you 0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:00.280 can threaten that, you can sort of cow the mento 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:03.040 not saying things that they might believe. Um, And it's 0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:05.119 just a bad you know, it's just a bad future. 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:07.640 And I think at least Conning, you know, we also 0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:11.240 hear so much about David about how Russian interference in 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.440 the election, and you know, I think you've been very 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:15.840 sober minded about this. You know, some people have just 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:19.159 completely lost their minds, including some conservatives that I that 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:21.760 I like as people, but just think they something's really happened, 0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:24.439 like they've had a break with reality. But when you 0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:27.399 look at at how how minimal that was in terms 0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:30.119 of the actual that the amount of Facebook accounts that 0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:32.160 we're really getting viewed and the amount of dollars spent 0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:34.359 on Facebook ads and stuff, and then you compare it 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:37.440 to you've got a bunch of yeah, they're they're they're companies. 0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:39.560 These are the private sector, at the public sector, but 0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:45.320 you've got a bunch of companies run by essentially evangelist progressives, 0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:50.520 I mean really on social issues, hardcore progressives who are 0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:53.320 not only able to influence the conversation, they can do 0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:55.280 it in ways that we don't even get to know about. 0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:57.399 It can all be based on algorithms and kind of 0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:00.320 obscure terms of service. You know what happened if you 0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:02.320 lose that debate with Twitter when they take away your 0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:06.679 entire account. The answer is you've got nothing right and 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.720 it's it is scary, and you know, going back to 0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.040 the to the whole Russian thing. I you know, I'm 0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:14.960 of two minds. I care very much that Russia tries 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:17.920 to meddle in our election. I also don't care very 0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:20.159 much that they're doing it because it doesn't affect my 0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:23.480 life at all. I vote anyway. I want hearing something 0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:26.280 or seeing something. They're a mind control raised and the 0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:29.200 idea that we should be you know, so you know 0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:31.719 that that they're stealing an election because they have you know, 0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:36.000 spent and adds to Facebook. I mean, it's just laughable, 0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:38.439 and they know it's laughable. In my opinion, I think 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:40.040 some people have lost their minds. I think a lot 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:42.120 of these people are just cynical and know what they're doing. 0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:44.320 As far as Twitter, again, I mean, it's it's a 0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:48.160 dangerous thing here. I I believe in let's say, free 0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.520 markets and capitalism. I believe that they'll be if if 0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:53.000 you push people out, there'll be on a marketplace and 0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:57.119 someone else will uh create something for them. But Twitter 0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:01.080 has become such a sort of wide ranging uh platform, 0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:03.960 especially for people in in in the political world, that 0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.880 it is kind of scary. So hopefully, because there are 0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:10.560 many conservatives in the world, Twitter won't scare them away. 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:13.480 But I think that that's why I worry that just 0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:15.960 even taking a step towards you know, this Alex Jones 0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:18.600 thing and deep platforming him is on YouTube for instance, 0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:22.840 this problem because um, not because Alex Jones is a conservative, 0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:26.360 but because these people call everyone white supremacist liberals. So 0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:29.160 to them, that was my next that was my next 0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:31.120 point to you, David. And it's it's like you're it's 0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:34.440 like you're, you know, living rent free in my head already. Yeah, man, 0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:36.680 you're you're already on the inside here. I just gotta 0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:40.359 tell you. I can't help but notice that this whole 0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:44.920 movement of deep platforming speech equals violence, which will also 0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:47.439 hear a lot, especially in the campus speech debates. But 0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:51.159 speech is tantamount to or equals violence. Deep platforming is 0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:55.119 a legitimate form of uh, you know of essentially, you know, 0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:59.840 disapproving of somebody's words or thoughts. And also the expansion 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:04.320 of the term white supremacist to essentially include anything that 0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:08.439 would upset people in the comments section of Daily Co's 0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:11.399 or the Huffington Post. I mean, white supremacy has been 0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:14.320 expanded beyond recognition now as a term. I don't think 0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:17.800 that's an accident. It's not an accident. They've been doing 0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:20.560 this for years. I mean, they've been conflating on purpose 0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:24.520 mainstream conservative views, which are are are liberal, small l 0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:28.719 and mostly um you know about the Constitution, about smaller government, 0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:32.440 what have you with, you know, fascism, nazi whatever, racism, 0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:36.680 white supremacy, and so of course if if they're getting 0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:38.920 rid of hate speech, that that would be next. I mean, 0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:42.000 I've you have writers in Slate or The New Yorker 0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.919 who accused every Trump voter of being a white supremacist 0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:48.720 or motivated by race. Um. But it's funny to me 0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:51.200 in a sense, or is ironic at least, that anyone 0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:55.399 who says that speech is violence is basically peddling an 0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:58.880 authoritarian idea because one speech is violence. You can limit 0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:01.600 speech because violence is something that's illegal and hurts others. 0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:04.199 Or you can use violence, as anti FUA does in 0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:06.480 response to speech you don't like, because they've already started 0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:10.840 the violence. Right. So it's a dangerous and it's actually 0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:14.080 a very stupid idea, But mostly it's an authoritarian idea, 0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:17.240 and that leads leads to two people being able to 0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:20.280 to ban speech and and and create you know, hate 0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:22.560 speech laws and all kinds of ridiculous things that not 0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:25.919 only undermine free expression, but but but are used to 0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:28.400 just silence people that you don't like. And that's exactly 0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:30.639 what they're doing. Now. Another thing they do that people 0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:32.760 don't talk about so often is that by calling everyone 0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:37.040 a white supremacist, they're actually giving cover to real white supremacists, 0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:39.560 which I think are a small, very small fringe group. 0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:42.280 But still you're giving them cover. And meanwhile, you're not 0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:44.080 even talking about the other side, which has plenty of 0:28:44.080 --> 0:28:48.280 its own, you know, radicals and extremists. Yeah, I think 0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:52.040 that this is This is also one moment where I say, 0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:54.360 there there are all these I know about them. They're 0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:55.960 all these they were going to do these kind of 0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.040 retrospect is. And people are talking a bit about the 0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:00.400 one year anniversary of Charlottesville, and I think there's just 0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:04.120 a permit given for this another you know, white nationalist 0:29:04.280 --> 0:29:07.240 rally or whatever the case, whatever they're calling it. And 0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:11.400 these are losers. Nobody likes them, they can't get jobs anywhere, 0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:14.840 they're reviled. Their safety is under real threat whenever they 0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.000 appear in public. But we're supposed to think that this 0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:19.000 is a threat to the American body politics. I mean 0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:22.360 It's just it's just exaggerated nonsense. I mean, yeah, there's 0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:27.080 what every listen. They can't get a few hundred people 0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:31.480 nationally together one one time in Portland lately everyone was 0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:34.840 I have fifty people showed up. It is so ridiculous. 0:29:35.000 --> 0:29:38.360 You know, they the media or the mainstream media gives 0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:41.840 them so much attention that it blows you know, they 0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:46.120 they're scaremongering with the attention that they give this small group. Meanwhile, 0:29:46.120 --> 0:29:49.240 they ignore that there you know, are far con lovers 0:29:49.360 --> 0:29:51.920 leading the Women's March movement. That doesn't matter. But these 0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:55.240 few no knicks in Charlottesville wherever they're gonna be next, 0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:57.440 are going to be given so much attention that it's 0:29:57.480 --> 0:30:00.080 it's it's preposterous. Why because they want to make it 0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:04.320 seem like you know, Trump has has sort of you know, 0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:07.520 given cover to this movement and allows them to exist 0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:10.960 because he said something stupid once. It's just it's really 0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:13.080 demented and skewed, and it really you know, I'm sure 0:30:13.080 --> 0:30:14.880 there are people walking around and you know in in 0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:17.800 liberal city, you know, a liberal city somewhere who actually 0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:19.840 believe that out in in America there are a bunch 0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:22.720 of Nazis walking around all the time. This is a 0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:24.760 little a little bit of a of a switch up, David. 0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:26.280 Before we let you go, and everyone, by the way, 0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:29.080 check out David's book, you know, an Amazon first freedom 0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:34.000 Ride through America's enduring history with the gun. Uh, David, 0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:36.760 are you a little surprised at the at the Acosta 0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:39.400 ing of the media meeting that you've got all these 0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:42.360 journalists now, who are just you know, Oh, I'm just 0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:44.800 so under threat, you know, I'm hearing people just say like, 0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:47.000 oh my gosh, I received a death threat recently, which 0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:49.719 is bad. But like every conservative I know has received 0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:51.800 death threats. I've received threats from people like this is 0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:55.320 not some like what is this all of a sudden? Yeah, 0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:57.840 first amount is very important, except people can't jure a 0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:00.760 reporter in the First Amendment becomes a threat to their safety. 0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:03.120 Of course, I don't want anything to happen to any reporters, 0:31:03.280 --> 0:31:04.960 but I think they seem to forget that a Bernie 0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:07.600 fan tried to take out the entire Republican leadership in 0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:10.880 a baseball field in Alexandria not long ago. And treating 0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:13.680 political violence or the threat of it as if as 0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:17.600 if lest the journalists see themselves as soldiers is a movement, 0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:21.120 and uh, they're so sanctimonious about it that people are 0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:23.960 sick of it. So they in Acosta, for instance, who 0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:26.880 acts like, you know, I don't know, like like he's 0:31:26.920 --> 0:31:29.200 the story all the time. He can't be surprised when 0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:33.240 people making the story, you know. So yeah, I mean 0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:35.840 you know why, because the incentive for journalists now is 0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:38.640 not to be a good journalist whose name isn't doesn't appear. 0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:40.640 The incentive is and then you listen, I'm a pundant, 0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:42.600 so I get it. But the incentive is to have 0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:45.440 an opinion, and they do more and more openly because 0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:48.120 that makes them stars. And they're in our little universe here. 0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:51.640 And do you think do you think that the that 0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:54.480 the It's not just CNN, but that's the one that 0:31:54.480 --> 0:31:56.480 comes to mind the most. I think, actually they're they're 0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:58.480 the Washington Post in New York Times. Also in this 0:31:58.520 --> 0:32:03.520 category of of we are a nonpartisan, objective news organization, 0:32:03.960 --> 0:32:05.920 that model instead of just saying, look like we're a 0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:08.320 liberal paper or we're a liberal network or whatever. Do 0:32:08.360 --> 0:32:10.720 you think that that's finally going away? I see the 0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:14.160 first real cracks in this. Yeah, I mean, I hope. 0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:16.600 So for a long time I've advocated that people should 0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:20.160 just be open about their political uh positions or where 0:32:20.200 --> 0:32:23.360 they stand ideologically, because we can just read their stuff. 0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:25.520 It doesn't make it untrue, it doesn't make it wrong. 0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:27.760 It might even make it right. Or in the sense 0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:29.480 that I know where you're coming from, I know who 0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:31.920 you're after, and there's nothing wrong with that. And this way, 0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:34.960 we can have reporters on staff if you want that 0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:37.120 even that out, or we can have newspapers that you 0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:39.400 want that even that out. For instance, you know, the 0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:41.600 Koch brothers or whoever. All these big donors get tons 0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:44.040 of money to politicians and two movements into think tanks. 0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:47.640 They should be buying media outlets and newspapers and evening 0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:50.800 out the media bias, and we should just be open 0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:53.320 about it. When I was growing up, we bought newspapers. 0:32:53.360 --> 0:32:57.200 We knew what every newspaper was really about, right and uh, well, 0:32:57.240 --> 0:32:59.520 I mean I had I had Raheemed Kassama last week. 0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:01.640 Who's Who's British and he's just like in the UK, 0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:06.240 you know, the newspapers are affiliated with specific political parties. 0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:08.239 I mean, it's it's not it wasn't it that way 0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:09.840 in at the found and you know in the right 0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:11.480 America was that way as well. I mean, but it 0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:13.800 was much worse than it is today. Even so, Yeah, 0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:16.200 it's crazy anyway, it's I don't know if it's healthier, 0:33:16.240 --> 0:33:18.040 but I think that this is not working this way 0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:20.240 because it is not good for the Republic. It's not 0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:22.720 good for our democratic institutions to have a media that's 0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:26.160 not trusted by most people. I agree, David Harsani. Everybody 0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:27.760 check out as late ast the Federalist. David, thanks for 0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:30.920 stopping by the Freedom Hunt. Thanks for having me same. 0:33:31.080 --> 0:33:33.000 We have a much more common went a little along there. 0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:35.280 I do want to finish up our discussion about immigration. 0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:38.400 We've also got some updates on the situation with the 0:33:38.480 --> 0:33:41.400 Mullard probe, and we'll talk a little Maniford. Although you know, 0:33:41.840 --> 0:33:43.600 I keep saying the manaphort things not as interesting as 0:33:43.600 --> 0:33:46.320 people want to pretend it is. Got a phenomenal deep 0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:50.840 dive coming up with Ben Weingarten about China spy ties 0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:54.000 to Diane fine Stein. You are going to want to 0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:55.760 stick around for that. I'm telling you won't hear it 0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:58.600 anywhere else, and it's really important stuff. We'll be right back. 0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:14.719 It's time to hear from one of the dumbest governors 0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:18.800 in America, perhaps in the history of America, which is 0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:23.280 a place that has a history. Governor Cuomo on Ice, 0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:28.000 play clip fall, please, I will do nothing cooperatively with ICE. 0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:32.240 I have sent sent them letters asking for an investigation. 0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:35.759 I have said if they do any criminal acts which 0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:39.840 a police force can do, we will take criminal action 0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:46.080 against ICE because I believe they are politically motivated. I mean, 0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:48.720 this guy's is not just a moral but he's scary. 0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:52.239 He is This is the governor, folks, who is the 0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:54.359 top law enforcement official of one of the biggest, most 0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:59.160 important states in the country, at least economically speaking. Um, 0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:03.319 who is its actually threatening federal law enforcement officers just 0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:04.920 saying you know, I got my eyes on you. What 0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:06.920 do you ever say this about the FBI? Mean FBI 0:35:06.960 --> 0:35:09.200 guys would be like, really, Cuomo, you want to you 0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:11.840 want us to look at some of your associates, You 0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:13.640 want to look at some of your dealings. Go look 0:35:13.680 --> 0:35:16.760 at the Moreland Commission, folks. There's a whole corruption commission 0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:18.560 set up in New York State that just kind of 0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:21.080 got shut down. What happened? Oh? It was getting a 0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:24.279 little too close to home. Didn't wasn't allowed to finish. 0:35:24.360 --> 0:35:27.880 It wasn't allowed to finish. But but Cuomo is so 0:35:27.960 --> 0:35:31.360 shameless that he is not just willing to throw Ice 0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:34.600 under the bus here, He's willing to go beyond that 0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:40.120 and threaten them, like he will have state troopers. First 0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:42.360 of all, I mean, I know law enforcement, It's the 0:35:42.680 --> 0:35:43.920 last thing in the world they want to do. Is 0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:46.600 you know, he'd have a mutiny on his hands. Okay, 0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:49.080 there's no way, but he makes it sound like he's 0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:51.080 gonna have state troopers going and kick down the door 0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:53.840 of an ICE office. And you know, really cause a 0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:57.719 problem here, folks, because what they're doing is politically motivated. 0:35:58.400 --> 0:36:03.320 They are carrying out the law. You imbecile. How is 0:36:03.360 --> 0:36:08.120 it politically motivated? What what does that even mean? And 0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:14.280 you know, when you have somebody of Cuomo's stature taking 0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:19.080 this kind of tone, the downstream effects. I mean, anybody 0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:22.200 listening would have to think, Wow, this guy, this guy 0:36:22.320 --> 0:36:24.799 is is is Look, he's what he's saying is dangerous. 0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:29.480 Why would other people, Why would constituents in his home 0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:31.920 state of New York I think that Ice is to 0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:35.440 be trusted or to be taken seriously. You know this, 0:36:35.440 --> 0:36:40.440 this demonization of of immigration enforcement in this country is 0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:45.840 is really it's really disgraceful, and it reminds me so 0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:47.640 much of what was going on with the Black Lives 0:36:47.680 --> 0:36:52.120 Matter movement? Wherefore reasons of political convenience Democrats and the media. 0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:57.160 But I repeat myself, we're running with this just false 0:36:57.200 --> 0:37:00.799 and destructive narrative that American police officer is black, white, 0:37:00.840 --> 0:37:04.360 any color you could think of our racists who murder 0:37:04.440 --> 0:37:06.960 black men for sport. That was the narrative. They can 0:37:06.960 --> 0:37:08.759 tell you that it was about reforming police. But I 0:37:08.840 --> 0:37:10.480 was there, man, I heard what was going on. That's 0:37:10.480 --> 0:37:14.040 not true. And now it's a immigrations and customs enforcement 0:37:14.440 --> 0:37:19.320 are you know Nazis hunting down people.

We got a lot to discuss. 0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:51.640 I wanted to take some calls in the last hour, 0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:54.200 but I got a little carried away talking to David Harsani. 0:38:54.360 --> 0:38:57.239 I've always really liked Harsani he's a good guy. You know. 0:38:57.239 --> 0:38:59.520 He worked at The Blaze for a short while. Actually, 0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:01.320 I remember for that, and he kind of did a 0:39:01.400 --> 0:39:05.319 little early mentoring in my editorial writing career. He's he's 0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:08.279 just a good dude, very very smart guy and very 0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:10.960 humble about it. Um. But I went along with him 0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:12.200 and we had some calls up, so I wanted to 0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:13.960 get to them because the lines lit up because I know, 0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:16.839 you guys, we care about immigration, right, you don't care 0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:21.440 that much about manifests ostrich coat although it was really ugly, 0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:24.000 you don't producing Marke I gotta tell you about. And 0:39:24.040 --> 0:39:27.080 I'm gonna feel a little wimpy telling you this a 0:39:27.080 --> 0:39:30.040 little story for you guys. So as you know, I 0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:33.279 love milk, Okay, I think of myself as something of 0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:37.239 a milk kind of store. Um. I have told you 0:39:37.560 --> 0:39:40.319 some truisms like soy milk is something that you should 0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:43.080 not even clean your bathtub with. And in the words 0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:45.520 of Ron Swanson, skim milk is water that is lying 0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:49.920 about being milk. Go whole, whole or nothing, baby, you know. 0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:52.520 And if your lactose intolerant, okay, I'll make some exceptions. 0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:56.280 Almond or coconut are acceptable. But those are juices, not milks. 0:39:56.320 --> 0:39:58.520 If we're gonna be although actually I think coconut, maybe 0:39:58.600 --> 0:40:01.200 I throw a flag on that. We'll see. But there's 0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:06.279 a guy in my office can name names. Somebody I 0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:08.520 know in the in the office building will say it's 0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:13.000 broadening out a little bit, and he drinks raw milk. 0:40:13.920 --> 0:40:16.640 And I'm thinking to myself, this has got to be 0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:20.800 like the dom peri yon of milk, that the good stuff, 0:40:20.840 --> 0:40:23.200 you know, the the top tier. This is the top 0:40:23.239 --> 0:40:28.319 shelf of milk because it is unpasteurized and unhomogenized, and 0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:31.879 you know, straight from the cow baby, straight from the utter. 0:40:32.880 --> 0:40:34.720 And I'm a city as you know, I'm a city slicker. 0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:36.840 I'm a city boy, and I think I figure, you 0:40:36.840 --> 0:40:39.480 know what I've got, I've got years and years of 0:40:39.520 --> 0:40:42.160 whole milk drinking under my belt. I'll even you know what, 0:40:42.200 --> 0:40:44.000 I'm not gonna lie to you folks. Sometimes I even 0:40:44.000 --> 0:40:45.160 but a little bit of half and half in a 0:40:45.200 --> 0:40:46.360 cup and have a little bit of that. You know 0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:49.000 what I mean? You only live once. Maybe I'm not 0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:51.040 gonna live that long because of cholesterol and fat, but 0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:55.919 nonetheless you only live once. So I this guy would 0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:57.600 say for us you want to you want to try it, 0:40:58.040 --> 0:40:59.920 And I also don't want to make to see him like, 0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:02.960 you know, it's not like he's holding out his holding 0:41:02.960 --> 0:41:05.520 out his trench coat and saying, you know, I got 0:41:05.520 --> 0:41:07.960 the good stuff, you know, the raw milk. You know 0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:09.800 what do you need? I got what you need, the 0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:12.279 raw milk. So I said, all right, I'm not gonna 0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:14.160 be a whimp about this, and I drink and dude, 0:41:14.280 --> 0:41:16.000 I had I had some raw milk. I'm gonna tell 0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:19.960 you something. It was delicious. It was incredible. It was 0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:24.120 kind of almost like drinking yogurt, but it tasted like milk, 0:41:24.160 --> 0:41:27.000 and it was so good. And now my stomach has 0:41:27.000 --> 0:41:32.040 been making noises and cramping and things all day. I mean, 0:41:32.800 --> 0:41:38.160 it's not it's not Montezuma's revenge. It's like Amish Gunderson's revenge. Man, 0:41:38.360 --> 0:41:42.680 I am proof. It's rough. Yeah, I learned my lesson. Dude, 0:41:42.680 --> 0:41:46.800 I learned my lesson. Buck buck needs pasteurized, and him iaginized, 0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:49.680 I can't. I can't handle the real stuff. Man. I'm 0:41:49.680 --> 0:41:52.640 a little disappointed to myself. So that was my one 0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:55.239 and only experiment with drinking drinking raw milk straight from 0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:56.880 the utter. I mean, I was thinking that after this 0:41:56.920 --> 0:41:59.240 I would be like, yeah, heading out to the farm myself, 0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:02.800 learned how to do it my own two hands. Nope, nope, 0:42:02.840 --> 0:42:04.719 give me the give me the mass produced stuff right 0:42:04.760 --> 0:42:07.600 out of you know, right out of cost car or whatever. 0:42:07.640 --> 0:42:10.080 That's how I wanted. All right. That was That was 0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:11.919 my little adventure with raw milk for the day. Folks. 0:42:11.920 --> 0:42:13.239 I don't know if if any of you have had 0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:15.160 it differently. Good for you. I'm gonna get all these 0:42:15.160 --> 0:42:16.880 I'm gonna get all these faceic messages. By the way, 0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:19.000 you're such a whimp city boy, and you know what, 0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:22.800 maybe that's true. But I gave it a shot, folks. 0:42:22.840 --> 0:42:24.480 I gave it a shot. All right. We got Lonnie 0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:27.879 in West Virginia on the line. What's up, Lonnie? OHI botch, 0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:30.319 How you doing, brother? I'm good man. Good to hear 0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:34.560 from you. Hey. Um, you know, if I if I 0:42:34.760 --> 0:42:39.840 knowingly harvard a fugitive for somebody that was run up 0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:43.160 from the law, I'll be arrested. What I not? I 0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:47.280 believe so harboring a fugitive is in factor. So Governor 0:42:47.360 --> 0:42:51.640 Cuomo and all these mayors of these cities do knowingly 0:42:51.719 --> 0:42:55.279 let fugitives go or people that I said I have 0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:58.680 to be request Why can't they be arrested? Why can't 0:42:58.680 --> 0:43:02.200 we send somebody in there. Uh now it's gonna stick. 0:43:02.600 --> 0:43:05.640 But put the cups on him, take him out and 0:43:05.800 --> 0:43:08.840 show him. You can't do that. You're under the list, 0:43:08.880 --> 0:43:14.719 you knowingly. But the fugitives or somebody who broke the law, well, 0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:18.960 you know, there have been some enforcement actions. I forget him, 0:43:18.960 --> 0:43:21.360 what states, but ICE has gone into a few places 0:43:22.520 --> 0:43:25.000 in the last twenty four hours to go after employers, 0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:30.880 and uh, you know I I I think that that's 0:43:31.520 --> 0:43:33.239 a step in the right direction, because you gotta go 0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:34.960 after employers too. But I mean to your point about 0:43:35.000 --> 0:43:38.239 sanctuary city jurisdictions, Lonnie, there are you are you heard 0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:41.160 the government new York. He's threatening just put to sick 0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:46.000 his law enforcement, you know, his essentially use his police 0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:49.040 powers in the state of New York against federal law enforcement. 0:43:49.600 --> 0:43:52.440 This is crazy. I can't do that. Who's got the 0:43:52.520 --> 0:43:57.359 upper hands state? You know? I mean, I don't agains. 0:43:57.360 --> 0:43:59.200 It depends on the circumstances here. I mean in terms 0:43:59.239 --> 0:44:00.839 of who's got the upper in terms of the law, 0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:03.239 it's obviously the federal that you know, the FEDS do here. 0:44:03.560 --> 0:44:05.960 Immigration is the province of the federal government. I mean, 0:44:06.000 --> 0:44:09.800 that's just well understood. There's really no question about that, um. 0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:13.120 But to try and impede, I mean, you're right, this 0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:15.239 does start to feel, Lonnie. You're getting to a very 0:44:15.239 --> 0:44:17.560 important point here. It starts to feel more than just 0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:21.480 disrespect for the rule of law and lawlessness to actually 0:44:21.480 --> 0:44:24.520 being criminal obstruction of the law. You know, and what 0:44:24.719 --> 0:44:26.960 we hear about, oh Trump tweeted this or Trump free that. 0:44:27.160 --> 0:44:30.280 At what point is a federal law or a state uh, 0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:33.920 you know, state politician threatening to use law enforce and 0:44:33.960 --> 0:44:37.120 power or threaten or for example, tipping off illegals that 0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:39.720 there's a raid coming. At what point is that actually criminal? 0:44:40.360 --> 0:44:42.520 At what point is that obstruction? If you start to 0:44:42.520 --> 0:44:44.440 want to ask these questions at least so, I think 0:44:44.480 --> 0:44:46.480 you raise a very interesting one. I don't have a 0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:49.960 clear answer for you, but I appreciate you calling in 0:44:50.040 --> 0:44:51.799 my friend, and you're fired up about it. I am too. 0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:56.200 Thank you.

You can buy them 0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:08.720 there in Austin when you get there. I like that idea. Anyway, 0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:11.719 That's about what I called. UM. I called to let 0:45:11.800 --> 0:45:15.560 you know that back in the seventies, Uh, the New 0:45:15.600 --> 0:45:18.600 York State tried to disarm US park police, which are 0:45:18.640 --> 0:45:22.080 different than park rangers, are actually seederal law enforcement officers, 0:45:22.400 --> 0:45:25.000 and they were using the Sullivan Act as their justification, 0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:27.239 which has been around since plot Nan King eleven or so. 0:45:28.000 --> 0:45:31.960 And UH. They failed. They failed miserably because the US 0:45:32.480 --> 0:45:36.640 law enforcement officers had premises over state and local or 0:45:36.680 --> 0:45:39.719 primacy however you want to call it. Uh. And so 0:45:39.840 --> 0:45:42.640 they failed miserably in court. But it did go to court. 0:45:44.000 --> 0:45:45.560 I didn't. That's a very interesting back story. I do 0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:47.200 know a bit about the Sulivan Act, because it's the 0:45:47.239 --> 0:45:48.960 reason why if you're called with an ilegal firem in 0:45:48.960 --> 0:45:54.719 New York you're facing mandatory prison time, which sucks. But yeah, 0:45:54.840 --> 0:45:56.960 I I don't know that backstory. That's really interesting. I 0:45:57.239 --> 0:45:58.799 believe it. By the way, I mean, New York is 0:45:59.280 --> 0:46:02.400 is final aratically. New York City is fanatically anti gun. 0:46:02.640 --> 0:46:05.400 New York City is so anti gun decks that and 0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:07.760 I feel badly for people I know in the NYPD 0:46:07.840 --> 0:46:09.279 who have had to do this, because you know, they're 0:46:09.280 --> 0:46:11.439 carrying out orders, but they should never be given this order. 0:46:11.840 --> 0:46:17.200 New York has um has arrested people who were transiting 0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:21.840 via flight through New York City if they're connecting, flight 0:46:21.960 --> 0:46:24.759 was canceled and they had to un check and then 0:46:24.920 --> 0:46:27.880 re check a handgun. All of us have been illegally 0:46:27.960 --> 0:46:30.440 by the way, they have arrested people for a legal 0:46:30.480 --> 0:46:33.600 handgun position possession of New York City because they did 0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:35.680 not have a New York City permit while they were 0:46:35.680 --> 0:46:38.120 transitting through the airport. They've actually done that. I mean, 0:46:38.280 --> 0:46:40.680 that's how bad they are on this issue. So I 0:46:40.719 --> 0:46:43.440 can believe that they would go after you know, everybody 0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:45.960 and anybody including I want to look up the backstory here. 0:46:46.600 --> 0:46:48.880 Why why were they trying to disarm part police? By 0:46:48.920 --> 0:46:51.960 the way, what was the rationale? Well, okay, the rationale 0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:54.399 was mostly New York City, was well right, that's where 0:46:54.440 --> 0:46:55.560 that's where all the bad because in the rest of 0:46:55.600 --> 0:46:56.920 New York State, by the way, you know, you can 0:46:56.960 --> 0:46:58.600 have a shotgun, you could have a rifle. It's really 0:46:58.600 --> 0:47:02.480 New York City where they're just gun free zone wannabees, right. 0:47:02.600 --> 0:47:06.200 What they what they had was the park police were 0:47:06.200 --> 0:47:09.239 transiting back and forth from UH Liberty Island where the 0:47:09.280 --> 0:47:11.680 Statue of Liberty is in the harbor. But that's the 0:47:11.719 --> 0:47:14.560 only part there that is actually U S Park, UH 0:47:15.160 --> 0:47:18.560 Service Land, and so they were arguing that you could 0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:21.320 not have your weapon when you were off the park. 0:47:21.800 --> 0:47:25.440 But because they are federal law enforcement officers, their jurisdiction 0:47:25.520 --> 0:47:28.279 extends to all fifty states and the territories of the 0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:31.120 United States, So it doesn't matter where they are, they 0:47:31.120 --> 0:47:33.920 still have jurisdiction and their four authority. And so it 0:47:34.120 --> 0:47:37.000 ultimately it ended up I think going to federal court, 0:47:37.520 --> 0:47:40.040 even to the Apollo Court. I don't think New York 0:47:40.080 --> 0:47:43.879 took it to the Supreme Court. But they lost, they 0:47:43.880 --> 0:47:48.040 lost miserably. And uh so the Sullivan Act was for 0:47:48.239 --> 0:47:50.239 that aspect of it. They could not enforce it on 0:47:51.080 --> 0:47:54.279 UH federal law enforcement. But think if they've been successful there, 0:47:54.320 --> 0:47:58.200 then they could have said the same thing about U. S. Marshals, right, yeah, 0:47:58.280 --> 0:48:00.720 or or you know, FBI if they weren't on federal premises, 0:48:00.760 --> 0:48:03.160 if they weren't on federal land and you know, in 0:48:03.160 --> 0:48:05.120 some capacity or in a federal office. Then then they 0:48:05.120 --> 0:48:07.520 could force them to be disarmed too. It's crazy, but 0:48:07.520 --> 0:48:10.120 by the you know, decks, that was actually what now 0:48:10.160 --> 0:48:12.959 I think about it. D C v Heller was about 0:48:12.960 --> 0:48:15.600 a guy who was licensed, I believe as a security 0:48:15.600 --> 0:48:17.919 guard to carry a firearm in d C but wasn't 0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:21.640 allowed to bring it to his home. So that's how 0:48:21.680 --> 0:48:23.840 crazy some of these That's how crazy some of these 0:48:23.880 --> 0:48:26.520 situations got Dex shields. Ye, always a great call man, 0:48:26.560 --> 0:48:29.200 Thanks for calling in, very very very eloquent, very good 0:48:29.280 --> 0:48:31.239 radio voice too. I feel like Dex must in a 0:48:31.280 --> 0:48:33.279 former life, or maybe in a future life, that would 0:48:33.280 --> 0:48:35.920 be a radio host for Scott. Scott guy's got pipes, 0:48:36.080 --> 0:48:39.800 as we say in the business, des got game. Uh. 0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:48.680 Julie in Clarksville, Tennessee. Hello, Julie, hey buck she'll hie hey, 0:48:49.239 --> 0:48:53.040 I hear you had some tummy troubles. Raw milk just 0:48:53.080 --> 0:48:54.720 not sit with me the way I thought I would. 0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:58.839 You know, tough stuff. It was cow milk right? Oh yeah, yeah, 0:48:58.840 --> 0:49:03.120 it was from mook. I gotta care for you. What 0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:07.239 goat milk? Raw? Goat milk? Really is it? Why is that? 0:49:07.440 --> 0:49:11.919 Just like less? Well? But why is the goat milk better. 0:49:12.160 --> 0:49:13.759 I mean, I actually like the taste of goat milk 0:49:13.760 --> 0:49:17.640 a lot. Well, we raised dairy goats and that's all 0:49:17.680 --> 0:49:22.680 we drink, and it's got a smaller milk molecule and 0:49:22.719 --> 0:49:26.440 it's great for people who are lactose intolerant. We swear 0:49:26.480 --> 0:49:30.680 by it. That's really yeah, give it. I will tell you. 0:49:31.000 --> 0:49:34.520 My grandparents had a place in in in the Hudson Valley, 0:49:34.560 --> 0:49:37.640 New York, and right down from them was a goat farm. 0:49:37.680 --> 0:49:39.760 And when I was a kid, I get so excited 0:49:39.800 --> 0:49:42.080 in the springtime to go down and try to try 0:49:42.120 --> 0:49:44.280 to hang out with the baby baby goats are awesome. 0:49:44.400 --> 0:49:46.040 Like I always wanted a baby goat as a pet, 0:49:46.280 --> 0:49:48.160 but I didn't really wanted to grow up. And apparently 0:49:48.200 --> 0:49:50.319 you can't just have them when their babies. They grow up. 0:49:51.160 --> 0:49:53.560 They do grow up, but they have quite a personality. 0:49:53.600 --> 0:49:55.480 And if you grew up, if they grew up with 0:49:55.600 --> 0:49:59.720 you around them, they're still they're like they're like dogs, 0:49:59.719 --> 0:50:04.480 they're rate and yeah, and it really you won't you 0:50:04.520 --> 0:50:07.359 won't be like um, being difficult to be around, because 0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:12.920 I'm sure you're your full pleasantries today.

Remember Occupy Wall Street and then Occupy 0:53:04.239 --> 0:53:06.560 this and Occupy that and occupy all this different stuff. 0:53:07.640 --> 0:53:11.400 And you know, Tommy Laren was out there asking what 0:53:11.680 --> 0:53:18.200 to the residents of Portland's think about what Occupy ICE 0:53:18.280 --> 0:53:20.080 has been doing. Which remember this is the one that 0:53:20.120 --> 0:53:22.840 has you know, feces and needles and all this stuff. 0:53:22.880 --> 0:53:25.640 And they're camping out outside of an Immigrations and Customs 0:53:25.680 --> 0:53:28.960 Enforcement Office. There's been violence, there's been anti fuss stuff 0:53:29.000 --> 0:53:33.000 going on here. It's a mess, a mess, journalists attack, 0:53:33.200 --> 0:53:35.520 very little news coverage of this. Here's what the Here 0:53:35.520 --> 0:53:38.160 the answers that Tommy was able to get play nineteen. 0:53:38.280 --> 0:53:40.120 I don't know if you've seen the last couple of weeks, 0:53:40.120 --> 0:53:42.719 but your city has been kind of home to some protesting, 0:53:42.840 --> 0:53:45.360 some controversy, a lot of surrounding. Your mayor and you 0:53:45.400 --> 0:53:48.920 occupy ICE movement. Familiar with any of that? What do 0:53:48.920 --> 0:53:52.080 you think about it? I think that they should be 0:53:52.120 --> 0:53:54.920 able to protest. Do you think that Portland's got more 0:53:55.480 --> 0:54:00.760 militants in the last year two years? I'll just say crazy, crazy. 0:54:01.160 --> 0:54:03.120 We have a real from with immigration. There's no simple 0:54:03.160 --> 0:54:05.440 answers here. Do you think that abolishing ICE is a 0:54:05.480 --> 0:54:08.120 step in the right direction. I think we have to 0:54:08.160 --> 0:54:11.600 look at our entire immigration policy. Our policy has failed. 0:54:11.719 --> 0:54:14.080 Do you think that the protesting on either side has 0:54:14.120 --> 0:54:16.759 gotten out of hand for sure? What do you think 0:54:16.760 --> 0:54:19.040 it's about. Do you think it's about really standing up 0:54:19.040 --> 0:54:21.920 for rights or is it about getting attention? What do 0:54:21.920 --> 0:54:23.880 you think the goal? I don't know. I think people 0:54:23.920 --> 0:54:26.200 have like a lot of personal events. We want to 0:54:26.200 --> 0:54:29.560 be like personal warriors or something and social justice warriors 0:54:29.600 --> 0:54:32.520 maybe for sure on both sides though Fox News, Yeah 0:54:32.560 --> 0:54:36.320 you're eater two but I'm nice. Doesn't matter your honey, 0:54:36.360 --> 0:54:38.880 I don't care. You just don't like Fox News. No, 0:54:39.040 --> 0:54:42.920 but this Fox News is nothing but a budget capitalist sides. 0:54:44.920 --> 0:54:47.000 There you go Portland. I mean, I know they've got 0:54:47.040 --> 0:54:50.320 out of town or the Unfortunately, the only views that 0:54:50.360 --> 0:54:52.880 are being projected out your extremist views, and so you 0:54:52.960 --> 0:54:56.600 get extremist reactions, and that's why you get extreme behavior 0:54:56.640 --> 0:54:58.200 of people coming up to you and clipping you off. 0:54:58.280 --> 0:54:59.680 Do you think a lot of the people in Portland 0:54:59.680 --> 0:55:02.120 are miss informed us to what Ice actually does. They 0:55:02.160 --> 0:55:04.080 just think about the kids coming over with the law 0:55:04.280 --> 0:55:07.279 or whatever. They don't think about the corruption that's coming 0:55:07.360 --> 0:55:11.240 in the drug dealers. Go to any of the occupied 0:55:11.280 --> 0:55:16.920 ICE protests, depending on what my work there, you go. 0:55:18.200 --> 0:55:19.880 So look, not a lot of not a lot of 0:55:21.680 --> 0:55:24.799 insightful answers there from the residents of Bortland. But I'm 0:55:24.840 --> 0:55:28.120 just amazed that anybody who's asked, do you think that 0:55:28.200 --> 0:55:30.480 I should be abolished doesn't immediately jump out and say, 0:55:30.760 --> 0:55:34.600 uh no, that's that's moronic, right. People will you know, 0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:38.759 immigration possis failed, and uh, you know, I got to 0:55:38.800 --> 0:55:43.759 sit down with the the head of Border Patrol and 0:55:43.960 --> 0:55:46.600 the interview was going to air tomorrow and she has 0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:50.160 just been named today. She was acting head. Now she's 0:55:50.200 --> 0:55:53.239 the head of Border Patrol and is the first ever 0:55:53.360 --> 0:55:55.840 female to hold that hold that position. And it's a 0:55:55.920 --> 0:55:57.719 really good interview. I mean, go check it out at 0:55:57.800 --> 0:56:00.240 hill dot TV, Slash Rising. It'll be on tomorrow morning. 0:56:01.280 --> 0:56:05.080 But I was able to ask her, um. I was 0:56:05.120 --> 0:56:06.960 able to ask her about a lot of things that 0:56:07.000 --> 0:56:09.399 you're gonna want to hear the details of. But one 0:56:09.400 --> 0:56:12.680 that really sticks out is I said, will you've been 0:56:12.680 --> 0:56:15.040 in border patrol? And she says, she's worked under four 0:56:15.080 --> 0:56:18.200 different presidents, right, so some presidents last eight years, so 0:56:18.320 --> 0:56:21.880 you know a long time. It's been decades in border patrol. 0:56:22.280 --> 0:56:26.000 And this woman is all about law enforcement. I mean 0:56:26.040 --> 0:56:28.760 you'll see she is straight up l e top to bottom. 0:56:29.840 --> 0:56:34.239 And I said, you you know, you hear about the 0:56:34.280 --> 0:56:38.440 wall and people keep saying that a wall will not work. 0:56:38.600 --> 0:56:40.879 What do you say, You've been on the border doing 0:56:40.920 --> 0:56:44.760 border patrol work for twenty some odd years and without 0:56:44.800 --> 0:56:48.120 missing a beach. She goes, you know, it will very much, 0:56:49.320 --> 0:56:52.399 very much. Uh, the wall will will help. I mean, 0:56:52.640 --> 0:56:56.200 no question, a wall will help. So how is it 0:56:56.239 --> 0:56:58.239 that all these journal types can run and saying, Oh, 0:56:58.239 --> 0:57:00.200 we're all so dumb. It's not gonna help anything. Let's 0:57:00.200 --> 0:57:02.920 not gonna holp Anything's like all the experts say, all 0:57:02.960 --> 0:57:06.000 the experts say, a wall, it's not gonna help. Okay, Well, 0:57:06.040 --> 0:57:09.640 here is a pretty high level expert who has spent 0:57:09.640 --> 0:57:12.480 her whole career on this issue, and she didn't say, 0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:15.320 like a wall, I'm not sure and then not really 0:57:15.360 --> 0:57:17.600 clear to me. It depends on how you do it. 0:57:17.640 --> 0:57:20.920 Is it a barrier, Bobby blah? No, she says a 0:57:21.040 --> 0:57:26.760 wall will help, So what's the delay all about that? Right? 0:57:26.760 --> 0:57:28.920 And and then why you know this is where I 0:57:28.920 --> 0:57:31.680 get to what is really fake news? Then, folks? How 0:57:31.720 --> 0:57:33.680 comes so many media outlets are able to get away 0:57:33.680 --> 0:57:38.080 with peddling this narrative that everyone basically agrees except Trump 0:57:38.080 --> 0:57:40.960 and the crazy Trump supporters that a wall won't do anything. 0:57:41.080 --> 0:57:44.480 The head of Border Patrol on TV on My show, 0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:47.040 looking at me with no uncertainty whatsoever, says a wall 0:57:47.160 --> 0:57:51.400 will help a lot. So why haven't we built a 0:57:51.440 --> 0:57:55.160 wall yet? Why won't Congress fund this. They have nowhere 0:57:55.240 --> 0:57:58.640 answers for you. You know, Congress is about his articulate 0:57:58.680 --> 0:58:00.400 on immigration. For the most part of some of those 0:58:00.400 --> 0:58:02.720 people in Portland's we're just like gal like whatever depends 0:58:02.720 --> 0:58:07.320 on what work is, Like Occupy Ice. It's such insanity. 0:58:08.000 --> 0:58:19.280 We've got much more team. Stay with me. He's back 0:58:19.320 --> 0:58:21.680 with you now, because when it comes to the fight 0:58:21.760 --> 0:58:27.240 for truth, the fuck never stops. Let's a call from 0:58:27.360 --> 0:58:34.480 John in Atlanta. Hey, John, Hey, what's up buddy? Yes, sir, 0:58:34.640 --> 0:58:37.920 podcast Minion checking in. All right, good to hear from you. 0:58:39.240 --> 0:58:41.920 Thank you, Good to talk to you. So. Um, I 0:58:42.000 --> 0:58:43.640 was gonna talk about the press being the enemy of 0:58:43.680 --> 0:58:46.200 the people, but we were just talking about with ice 0:58:46.480 --> 0:58:49.200 and border crossings and everything. It made me. It reminded 0:58:49.240 --> 0:58:50.600 me of a point that I always wanted to make 0:58:50.640 --> 0:58:53.640 to you, which is this. This might sound hyperbolic, but 0:58:54.360 --> 0:58:57.400 the people are advocating for the open borders and not 0:58:57.560 --> 0:59:01.680 separating you know, children from a parents. You can make 0:59:01.720 --> 0:59:06.000 good taste that they're basically advocating child rape, right. And 0:59:06.040 --> 0:59:08.640 I know that sounds hyperbolic, but here's why. If you 0:59:08.640 --> 0:59:10.680 you know how stats work with the FBI, Like when 0:59:10.720 --> 0:59:13.280 you look at a murder rate, it's whatever, it's five 0:59:13.360 --> 0:59:19.360 point five per hundred thousand in the United States. Yeah, okay, 0:59:19.440 --> 0:59:22.960 so the rape rate in a place like Condors is 0:59:23.120 --> 0:59:29.160 probably forty per hundred thousands or maybe, I mean, I 0:59:29.440 --> 0:59:31.480 have no idea, but okay, okay, So where are we 0:59:31.520 --> 0:59:36.000 going somewhere around it? Well, the children, the girls that 0:59:36.120 --> 0:59:40.920 get transported by these coyotes, the rape rate is somewhere around. 0:59:42.000 --> 0:59:43.920 It's very high. There's a lot of sexual abuse by 0:59:43.960 --> 0:59:48.080 the coyotes against part against female miners. That's true. Yeah, right, right, 0:59:48.120 --> 0:59:52.440 So it's that is not even the highest rates in Honduras. 0:59:52.480 --> 0:59:55.680 Don't approach that. So by offering the incentive for them 0:59:55.680 --> 0:59:58.320 to get across the border and maybe get in and 0:59:58.400 --> 1:00:01.560 not have any kind of a wa all, you're basically 1:00:01.600 --> 1:00:04.760 putting them at a rate of potential rape that's probably 1:00:04.800 --> 1:00:06.960 a thousand times higher than what it would be in 1:00:06.960 --> 1:00:09.200 a place like I mean, I've got I I'm kind 1:00:09.240 --> 1:00:11.600 of following you here, but I also want to I don't. 1:00:11.720 --> 1:00:13.760 I mean, you're you're just pulling numbers, and I have 1:00:13.800 --> 1:00:17.320 no idea if those sounds high to me, But I 1:00:17.360 --> 1:00:18.960 don't know, and I wish I had had a chance 1:00:19.000 --> 1:00:22.560 to ask the Border Patrol chief about this one. Uh, 1:00:22.600 --> 1:00:24.640 And I think it's important that we advocate. There's a 1:00:24.680 --> 1:00:27.920 difference between putting somebody in position where they're at a 1:00:28.000 --> 1:00:31.920 higher risk for something and and also advocating specifically for 1:00:32.000 --> 1:00:33.760 that thing to happen to them. So I do think 1:00:33.760 --> 1:00:36.720 we need to separate those two things. But so you're 1:00:36.760 --> 1:00:42.320 saying that by by creating this look, But Obama and 1:00:42.440 --> 1:00:45.400 his team thought they were doing the the you know, 1:00:45.440 --> 1:00:50.400 the warmhearted thing and also the politically very expedient thing, 1:00:50.560 --> 1:00:52.880 which I think is much bigger than the warmhearted part 1:00:52.920 --> 1:00:55.640 of it, by allowing anybody with a child to come 1:00:55.680 --> 1:00:58.040 to the U. S. Border and basically say let me in. 1:00:58.160 --> 1:01:01.880 I got a kid and we're fleeing something. And that 1:01:01.960 --> 1:01:05.040 has led to a whole lot more both kids, unaccompanied 1:01:05.120 --> 1:01:07.880 and accompanied miners coming to the border, and some of 1:01:07.880 --> 1:01:12.520 those unaccompanied kids in particular have been subjected to sexual abuse, 1:01:13.080 --> 1:01:17.600 which that's been documented too. So yeah, there are those 1:01:17.640 --> 1:01:22.959 are the unintended but very nasty and terrible consequences of 1:01:23.000 --> 1:01:26.040 the lawlessness really that the Obama administration was pushing for. 1:01:26.760 --> 1:01:28.560 So is that I mean, am I touching on all 1:01:28.640 --> 1:01:30.960 the areas of this that you're trying to hit her. 1:01:30.960 --> 1:01:33.800 Am I missing something? No? I think you are. The 1:01:33.920 --> 1:01:36.880 number I got a seventies. I believe that came from 1:01:36.880 --> 1:01:40.600 an amnesty in the National Report, So I'm not pulling 1:01:40.600 --> 1:01:42.560 it out of the thin air. It's somewhere in that 1:01:42.680 --> 1:01:44.760 range and you can look it up. But the other 1:01:44.880 --> 1:01:47.040 thing is this. Do you know the woman with the 1:01:47.440 --> 1:01:51.080 daughter that was photoshopped on the Time magazine next to 1:01:51.120 --> 1:01:53.720 Trump as if she was separated. Yeah, of course, yeah 1:01:53.720 --> 1:01:57.480 she was. She wasn't separated. No, No, she spent about 1:01:57.520 --> 1:02:02.120 five thousand dollars, right, yeah, uh, okay, you pay a 1:02:02.200 --> 1:02:05.120 county five thousand dollars. Now, let's do the currency conversion 1:02:05.120 --> 1:02:07.000 of what a person in the United States makes in 1:02:07.040 --> 1:02:09.520 a given a year versus what someone in Honduras makes. 1:02:09.560 --> 1:02:11.800 So when of that five thousand dollars translates to like 1:02:11.880 --> 1:02:15.760 maybe thirty five or forty thousand for an American citizens. Now, 1:02:15.880 --> 1:02:19.400 if if there's a wall and a much stronger presence 1:02:19.400 --> 1:02:22.160 on the border, you are now disincentivized from spending that 1:02:22.240 --> 1:02:25.920 kind of money. That's right. And the money, the money 1:02:25.960 --> 1:02:28.200 is only worth it if you have a very The 1:02:28.240 --> 1:02:30.160 money is only worth it if you have a very 1:02:30.280 --> 1:02:33.600 high expectation that you will successfully get in the United States, 1:02:33.760 --> 1:02:35.560 which is why the money, which is why these guys 1:02:35.600 --> 1:02:37.480 are getting paid. By the way, I would also like 1:02:37.600 --> 1:02:40.000 to add into this, John, that this has led to 1:02:40.600 --> 1:02:44.960 hundreds of millions of dollars, by any calculation, going directly 1:02:44.960 --> 1:02:48.160 into the hands of vicious Mexican drug cartels that are 1:02:48.200 --> 1:02:53.000 involved in human smuggling, child sexual predation, UH smuggling heroin 1:02:53.080 --> 1:02:55.960 and fentinel into American communities that are killing thousands and 1:02:55.960 --> 1:03:00.080 thousands of people. So that's another unintended or set and 1:03:00.160 --> 1:03:05.040 dairy consequence of this whole pipeline of illegals essentially coming 1:03:05.040 --> 1:03:06.680 into the country. But John, I gotta leave it there 1:03:06.680 --> 1:03:09.440 for now. I do appreciate you calling in. Um, let's 1:03:09.480 --> 1:03:13.480 get to uh, you know, I spent much time this. Yeah, 1:03:13.520 --> 1:03:15.600 I'm actually thinking we're gonna go Mueller free today. I 1:03:15.640 --> 1:03:19.440 don't really think there's much well almost Mueller free. Maybe 1:03:19.480 --> 1:03:22.800 I I overpromised with that one, but I think that 1:03:22.840 --> 1:03:26.320 there's not much need to get into Muller's Mueller case today. 1:03:26.360 --> 1:03:30.600 I think it's just so overdone. You know that. MSNBC 1:03:30.800 --> 1:03:33.240 last night, Matt out I saw some commentary and this, 1:03:33.280 --> 1:03:36.320 and I want to check it out for myself. I look, 1:03:36.360 --> 1:03:40.280 I don't get I don't get the whole MSNBC stick 1:03:40.320 --> 1:03:42.080 in general, but matt Ow in particular likes to do 1:03:42.120 --> 1:03:44.840 this thing where it's, yeah, I have this thing, it's 1:03:44.840 --> 1:03:46.960 this amazing thing. And Stephen Colbert actually made fun of 1:03:47.000 --> 1:03:49.560 her for it last night, although he you know, when 1:03:49.600 --> 1:03:52.080 liberals make fun of liberals, it's always like, but he's 1:03:52.120 --> 1:03:54.200 making fun of each other with love. But she does this, 1:03:54.360 --> 1:03:56.640 She does have this whole like I have in my hand, 1:03:56.960 --> 1:03:59.919 the most amazing document. It's the most amazing thing. Once 1:04:00.040 --> 1:04:02.240 you see it, it will change your world. And then 1:04:02.480 --> 1:04:04.000 you know, she does that for like twenty minutes and 1:04:04.000 --> 1:04:05.600 then you're like, this is an interesting you know, this 1:04:05.640 --> 1:04:08.520 document sucks. She did that with Trump's tax returns. That 1:04:08.520 --> 1:04:10.560 was the really famous time. But she also had this 1:04:10.640 --> 1:04:13.360 whole thing last night with Devin you know, Devin Newness, 1:04:13.560 --> 1:04:19.160 when he's at a private fundraiser, well actually say things 1:04:19.160 --> 1:04:24.320 that are critical of Donald Trump. Yeah, so so what 1:04:25.120 --> 1:04:28.000 who cares? Devin Newness, you know, said that he thinks 1:04:28.040 --> 1:04:31.680 Trump's tweets sometimes there aren't so great. Uh. They try 1:04:31.720 --> 1:04:33.640 to make this see him like it's a scandal. Folks, 1:04:33.680 --> 1:04:35.720 the things that Newness was saying at this fundraiser, Well, 1:04:35.760 --> 1:04:38.760 of course you're not progressive surreptitiously tape people, you know, 1:04:38.760 --> 1:04:40.919 because they're scummy and underhanded, and that's what they do. 1:04:41.360 --> 1:04:44.280 And look, but it's fine. Any congressman who's got three 1:04:44.280 --> 1:04:46.880 brain cells to rub together knows that if you're in 1:04:46.880 --> 1:04:48.600 any kind of a public four, we gotta assume you're 1:04:48.640 --> 1:04:50.720 being taped. Right, what you're saying, you have to assume 1:04:51.240 --> 1:04:54.040 somebody may be taping it. You're not saying crazy. But 1:04:54.080 --> 1:04:55.400 they were trying to make it seem like it was 1:04:55.440 --> 1:04:57.400 such a big deal. That's because they hate Newness. They 1:04:57.400 --> 1:05:00.160 have there's a little bit of of a second you know, 1:05:00.160 --> 1:05:01.920 there's Trump de arrangement center, but then there's also the 1:05:01.960 --> 1:05:06.600 secondary order effects secondary effects of that where people in 1:05:06.640 --> 1:05:10.120 Trump's orbit also that there's a derangement that people have 1:05:10.480 --> 1:05:14.520 towards them, and you know, there's kind of a little 1:05:14.600 --> 1:05:17.800 a B Team Newness derangement syndrome, you know, a JV 1:05:17.960 --> 1:05:21.720 level derangement syndrome, and that's on display because here's what 1:05:21.880 --> 1:05:24.440 was said at this event where you know, and this 1:05:24.520 --> 1:05:28.200 is madow. Oh my gosh, when you hear Newness criticizing Trump, 1:05:28.680 --> 1:05:31.160 it's going to rock your world. It's like, no, it's 1:05:31.160 --> 1:05:36.840 not here, play at play clips sixteen. So there, so 1:05:37.000 --> 1:05:42.280 it's like your class catch Trump to situation where Ready 1:05:44.120 --> 1:05:53.040 puts us in such a tough president, which is really 1:05:53.080 --> 1:05:57.080 the days that's five by the way, I mean, we 1:05:57.280 --> 1:06:06.320 have to keep all we have the he's saying, we 1:06:06.320 --> 1:06:08.120 gotta keep the majority. I know you can hear that 1:06:08.160 --> 1:06:10.440 the plates clanking with the silver, which is always I've 1:06:10.440 --> 1:06:13.320 given speeches at luncheon's. That's always the problem. You gotta 1:06:13.320 --> 1:06:15.320 clink clink, clink, clink clink, and especially with the audio, 1:06:15.400 --> 1:06:17.439 it's drives you mad if you want to ever listen 1:06:17.440 --> 1:06:20.640 to it afterwards. But so Noonas is saying, yeah, we 1:06:20.840 --> 1:06:24.400 we gotta we gotta protect, we gotta protect the majority 1:06:24.480 --> 1:06:27.240 in the House because the only way they're ever gonna 1:06:27.240 --> 1:06:29.000 get any answers about what really has going on with 1:06:29.000 --> 1:06:31.680 the Muller probe. And also that the first we know 1:06:31.880 --> 1:06:33.720 there's the Democrat there're been a little quiet about it 1:06:33.760 --> 1:06:35.360 now that they're being a little coy, a little sly 1:06:36.720 --> 1:06:40.640 because they know that if Trump doesn't have a House 1:06:41.040 --> 1:06:45.920 a Republican majority, they're gonna impeach them, but they're being 1:06:46.000 --> 1:06:48.880 quiet about it right now because they'd rather run these 1:06:49.000 --> 1:06:53.200 kind of stealth Democrat candidates and the Connor Lamb model. Yeah, 1:06:53.400 --> 1:06:57.000 you know, I I served in the military and and 1:06:57.240 --> 1:07:01.200 personally pro life, and but I'm gonna vote Nancy Pelosi 1:07:01.280 --> 1:07:03.480 nine percent of the time and I'm a pro union, leftist, 1:07:03.560 --> 1:07:07.160 redistributionist Democrat. You know that's what you get going on. Oh, 1:07:07.200 --> 1:07:09.360 you know, I care more about the middle class and healthcare. 1:07:09.440 --> 1:07:11.880 And but I really I asked, you think that Bernie 1:07:11.880 --> 1:07:14.160 Sanders has got some great ideas. That's the kind of 1:07:14.200 --> 1:07:18.400 Democrat candidate they want to run, and they don't want 1:07:18.880 --> 1:07:23.480 the Republican base. Two really have it at front of 1:07:23.520 --> 1:07:26.560 their minds that impeachment is what's gonna follow here if 1:07:26.560 --> 1:07:29.240 Trump does not have a majority in the House to 1:07:29.280 --> 1:07:32.240 protect him. So, but I just I listened to I 1:07:32.320 --> 1:07:34.080 thought there must have been oh my gosh, Nudas must 1:07:34.120 --> 1:07:39.560 have said something bad. Matter has secret audio from a 1:07:39.720 --> 1:07:43.960 progressive activist that is gone to blow your mind. No 1:07:44.120 --> 1:07:45.960 it doesn't, it's not import at all. It didn't matter 1:07:46.160 --> 1:07:51.760 one bit. Uh And all right, I said, no, mother's stuff. 1:07:51.760 --> 1:07:54.320 But there's one thing. There's one thing I wanted to 1:07:54.400 --> 1:07:57.280 throw in here, which is that I like the Rudy's 1:07:57.320 --> 1:07:59.240 out there making the case. I don't know if he's 1:07:59.240 --> 1:08:01.080 the best lawyer to handle this, but he's probably the 1:08:01.160 --> 1:08:03.760 best spokesman to handle this in many ways. Here's Rudy 1:08:03.800 --> 1:08:05.800 said about the Mueller inventor. I know a little Muller 1:08:05.840 --> 1:08:11.640 stuff for real quick place seven. What do we need 1:08:11.720 --> 1:08:15.760 to know? That this is a totally illegitimate investigation based 1:08:15.840 --> 1:08:21.000 on a report, a dossier that was paid for by 1:08:21.080 --> 1:08:24.680 Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. Probably the biggest illegality so far, 1:08:25.280 --> 1:08:29.840 the biggest collusions so far, completely made up, completely made up, 1:08:30.800 --> 1:08:36.639 uh led to nothing except several fraudulent fighter wires. I've 1:08:36.720 --> 1:08:39.920 never been involved in in an investigation on either side 1:08:40.600 --> 1:08:43.800 that's more illegitimate than this one. Where's a sense of 1:08:43.920 --> 1:08:47.120 justice on the part of Mueller, on the part of 1:08:47.160 --> 1:08:50.800 the Justice Department. And at some point you got to 1:08:50.840 --> 1:08:55.120 say the irregularities, the double standard, the way in which 1:08:55.400 --> 1:08:59.800 people who hate Trump will put into primary positions of 1:09:00.040 --> 1:09:04.080 our yep, I let Rudy have the last word on 1:09:04.120 --> 1:09:06.639 that for today. We'll be right back. They can play 1:09:06.720 --> 1:09:08.680 politics all they want. What we know is it was 1:09:08.720 --> 1:09:10.599 a bad deal. We wanted to get out of the deal, 1:09:10.680 --> 1:09:12.719 and we did that. And now they're paying the price 1:09:13.200 --> 1:09:15.360 by one having all of the business that they were 1:09:15.400 --> 1:09:17.880 getting with all of the countries in the European Union 1:09:17.920 --> 1:09:20.639 and otherwise to drop, but they're also getting the sanctions, 1:09:20.680 --> 1:09:23.080 which is going to suffocate them. The goal of the 1:09:23.160 --> 1:09:25.559 Trump administration is to pull out of a lousy deal 1:09:25.640 --> 1:09:28.640 with a single purpose in mind is to create a 1:09:28.760 --> 1:09:31.599 much better deal. And that's what this is all about. 1:09:31.720 --> 1:09:35.120 So we're imposing sanctions on the Iranians in a way 1:09:35.160 --> 1:09:38.639 that we had once before when we had the initial 1:09:38.800 --> 1:09:43.240 deal in place before the nuclear deal. Tough sanctions. Here's 1:09:43.280 --> 1:09:46.360 what I think is going to happen. Listen, these sanctions 1:09:46.439 --> 1:09:49.719 will really take its toll on the Iranians. The du 1:09:49.880 --> 1:09:53.479 was trying to keep their countries in this thing. They 1:09:53.600 --> 1:09:56.559 used intimidation and coercion. But at the end of the day, 1:09:57.040 --> 1:10:01.560 I mean, seriously, Iran's economy is four billion dollars U 1:10:01.720 --> 1:10:05.800 s economy is has just tapped twenty trillion. Are these 1:10:05.880 --> 1:10:10.920 countries really gonna continue to ron and lose that trading 1:10:11.040 --> 1:10:13.800 with the United States? Which the Trump administration is fully 1:10:13.840 --> 1:10:17.360 prepared to do. Look, Iran has a choice to make, 1:10:17.520 --> 1:10:20.000 and this is what the Trump administration is forcing on them. 1:10:20.360 --> 1:10:22.599 And the choices not get all the goodies and keep 1:10:22.600 --> 1:10:27.960 your nuclear program. The choice is verifiable end to all 1:10:28.240 --> 1:10:32.400 nuclear program and related material and activity, and a change 1:10:32.600 --> 1:10:37.240 in aggressive belligerent behavior. I mean, folks, the Iranians have 1:10:37.800 --> 1:10:40.600 us blood on their hands. They have the blood of 1:10:40.680 --> 1:10:44.639 our service members on their hands. They just to show 1:10:44.800 --> 1:10:49.120 chaos and just be destructive, just be sadists. We're sending 1:10:49.200 --> 1:10:51.800 e f p s, exposedly formed penetrators across the border 1:10:51.840 --> 1:10:54.840 from Iran into Iraq and puncturing the holes of our 1:10:54.960 --> 1:10:58.439 armored vehicles and maiming and killing our soldiers in Iraq. 1:10:58.520 --> 1:11:01.320 We're trying to stabilize that hell hole. Alright, So the 1:11:01.400 --> 1:11:05.040 I mean, the Iranian regime isn't just sponsoring terror in 1:11:05.200 --> 1:11:08.599 some vague sense. They have the blood of American service 1:11:08.680 --> 1:11:11.800 members on their hands. And enough is enough with these 1:11:13.600 --> 1:11:16.320 enough is enough with this tyranny in this country, Okay, 1:11:16.439 --> 1:11:20.160 in in in the Iranian state, we need to finally 1:11:20.360 --> 1:11:26.160 demand that they change course or we're just gonna bring 1:11:26.240 --> 1:11:28.280 their economy to its knees. We were doing that by 1:11:28.320 --> 1:11:32.120 the way, Obama threw them a lifeline. Obama decided that 1:11:32.240 --> 1:11:36.320 it was better to work with the Iranians than to 1:11:36.880 --> 1:11:40.400 force the Iranians to stop doing the bad things they 1:11:40.439 --> 1:11:43.439 were doing, you know, I mean with with Obama, it 1:11:43.520 --> 1:11:45.479 was always you know, he's got he's got the best 1:11:45.560 --> 1:11:47.519 hand in the world in the sense that he sits 1:11:47.560 --> 1:11:50.360 down at the poker table with the American military at 1:11:50.400 --> 1:11:52.240 his back. He sits down as the commander in chief 1:11:52.320 --> 1:11:55.320 of the most fearsome and awesome military machine on the planet, 1:11:55.360 --> 1:11:58.439 the biggest economy in the history of the world, and 1:11:58.520 --> 1:11:59.720 he's like, Oh, what can I do to make you? 1:11:59.800 --> 1:12:02.719 Guy is happy? No, that is not how he should 1:12:02.760 --> 1:12:05.519 have been negotiating. I also want to talk to you 1:12:05.560 --> 1:12:08.479 about what's going on in Iran, I mean in Yemen. 1:12:09.160 --> 1:12:12.519 So Yemen is the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world 1:12:12.680 --> 1:12:14.880 right now. I've talked to you a bit about it 1:12:14.960 --> 1:12:16.800 here in the show. It doesn't get much attention. I know, 1:12:16.920 --> 1:12:19.960 Yemen is far off and not a place that you 1:12:20.120 --> 1:12:22.080 necessarily think is going to be hind the list of 1:12:22.200 --> 1:12:25.479 US national security concerns, but it does have a very 1:12:25.479 --> 1:12:27.560 active al kind of franchise, one that has tried to 1:12:27.640 --> 1:12:30.880 target US aviation of the past, one that has I've 1:12:30.920 --> 1:12:34.000 been very active in what we call external external terrorist plotting, 1:12:34.000 --> 1:12:36.200 which means coming after us and our allies anywhere and 1:12:36.240 --> 1:12:40.000 everywhere around the world. Um and and now Yemen is 1:12:40.080 --> 1:12:44.599 finally in the headlines because of a terrible tragedy. Here's 1:12:44.640 --> 1:12:46.080 the reporting on it from New York Times. An air 1:12:46.160 --> 1:12:49.200 strike from the Saudi led coalition struck a school bus 1:12:49.320 --> 1:12:51.719 in northern Yemen on Thursday and killed dozens of people, 1:12:52.200 --> 1:12:55.360 many of them children, according to local medical officials. Uh 1:12:55.439 --> 1:12:57.800 the attack sent a flood of victims to overwhelm the 1:12:57.840 --> 1:12:59.960 hospital struggling to cope, and what the United Nations can 1:13:00.000 --> 1:13:03.880 ssiders one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The coalitionstead 1:13:03.880 --> 1:13:05.600 it had hit missile launchers and called the attack a 1:13:05.680 --> 1:13:09.280 legitimate military operation, but the attack and the justification for 1:13:09.400 --> 1:13:12.479 it were condemned and drew new attention to the tremendous 1:13:12.520 --> 1:13:15.080 human toll of the war in Yemen. Yeah, this war 1:13:15.240 --> 1:13:18.519 is grinding on. It's it's terrible. We are backing the 1:13:18.640 --> 1:13:21.439 saudiast here and the Saudias are engaged in this air 1:13:21.560 --> 1:13:24.040 campaign and they're they're essentially the air force for the 1:13:24.840 --> 1:13:30.519 recognized National Government of Yemen. But it's a complete mess. 1:13:30.720 --> 1:13:33.000 And and this is where I have to say, you know, 1:13:33.280 --> 1:13:36.120 with all the sanctimony you hear from journalists, I would 1:13:36.160 --> 1:13:38.760 want to say, especially from the you know, the MSNBC, 1:13:39.000 --> 1:13:43.840 CNN network News corridor, I want to know, why are 1:13:43.880 --> 1:13:47.599 we not hearing more about Yemen? Why haven't they been 1:13:47.760 --> 1:13:50.880 leading news broadcast with this story. If they really do 1:13:51.200 --> 1:13:53.960 care about U. S Foreign policy, which based on what 1:13:54.040 --> 1:13:56.200 we saw at Helsinki and Trump, oh my gosh, if 1:13:56.240 --> 1:14:00.120 they really care about humanitarian goals and to stop up 1:14:00.160 --> 1:14:02.960 suffering or at least limits suffering, and to bring public 1:14:03.040 --> 1:14:07.000 attention to crises, you might have millions of people starving 1:14:07.080 --> 1:14:10.320 to death in eighteen folks. I mean, this is right now, 1:14:10.479 --> 1:14:14.280 this is real, and you they still are just gonna 1:14:14.360 --> 1:14:17.320 run all these stories about Stormy Daniels and Avanati and 1:14:17.400 --> 1:14:23.240 all this other crap. So much sanctimony from these journals, 1:14:24.680 --> 1:14:27.080 And I guess they would say, if you really push them, well, buck, 1:14:27.120 --> 1:14:30.040 you know, we have to cover stories that get ratings. Well, 1:14:30.080 --> 1:14:32.680 if you're covering stories because it's about ratings and not 1:14:32.760 --> 1:14:35.280 about your mission, not about telling us what what is 1:14:35.320 --> 1:14:37.840 really important in the world. You don't get to then 1:14:37.920 --> 1:14:41.479 hold yourselves up as the guardians of truth. You don't 1:14:41.479 --> 1:14:45.160 get to talk about the necessary role you play in 1:14:45.400 --> 1:14:49.720 informing the public based on what is necessary for them. 1:14:50.800 --> 1:14:53.960 You're just an entertainment outlet. You're an entertainment outlet that's 1:14:54.000 --> 1:14:57.639 posing as something else. And I think that the Yemen 1:14:57.680 --> 1:14:59.559 stories yet another time when we could stop and say 1:14:59.600 --> 1:15:03.800 to ourselves, you know what, they can be posers as 1:15:03.880 --> 1:15:05.280 much as they want, but we don't have to go 1:15:05.360 --> 1:15:09.200 along with the pretense that their objective journals anymore, because 1:15:09.320 --> 1:15:13.120 they'd much rather tell us about Stormy and Avanati than 1:15:13.160 --> 1:15:16.960 about the massive humanitarian crisis that has continuing to unfold 1:15:17.000 --> 1:15:19.800 in Yemen. Our three coming up here, we've got to 1:15:19.800 --> 1:15:22.680 talk about China and the connections to Finstein and the 1:15:22.800 --> 1:15:25.920 spy that was near her. We've got that and uh 1:15:26.120 --> 1:15:29.160 much more, Teams, so stay with me. It's all about 1:15:29.280 --> 1:15:32.479 China infiltrating the office of a very powerful democrat in 1:15:32.600 --> 1:15:36.519 Diane Feinstein. It turns out her longtime staff for Russell Lowe, 1:15:36.920 --> 1:15:39.920 who was a driver then also liaison to the Asian 1:15:39.960 --> 1:15:44.679 American community in California visited relatives overseas several years ago 1:15:44.920 --> 1:15:47.040 and became acquainted on the trip with someone who was 1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:51.320 connected to the People's Republic of China's Ministry of State Security. 1:15:51.520 --> 1:15:54.320 Five years ago, FBI it Didn't showed up at Finstein's 1:15:54.360 --> 1:15:57.120 office in d C and revealed her staffer was under 1:15:57.160 --> 1:16:02.080 investigation for possibly spying for China. So why haven't you 1:16:02.200 --> 1:16:03.960 heard a lot more about this? I know that was 1:16:04.000 --> 1:16:06.719 a little Fox News audio right that was at Henry 1:16:06.760 --> 1:16:11.559 over at Fox talking about Diane fine Stein's Chinese spy 1:16:12.120 --> 1:16:15.559 who was driving around for twenty years or so. You're 1:16:15.560 --> 1:16:17.479 not hearing much about this. Well, we've got somebody who 1:16:17.520 --> 1:16:20.559 wants to dive into this with us and uh talk 1:16:20.600 --> 1:16:22.439 a bit about what's really going on here. We have 1:16:23.160 --> 1:16:26.720 Ben wine Garden with us. He is the host of 1:16:26.760 --> 1:16:29.599 The Big Ideas podcast with Ben Weinegarten, also a senior 1:16:29.640 --> 1:16:32.120 contributor at the Federalists's got a piece up there right now, 1:16:32.600 --> 1:16:36.200 Senator Diane fine Steins ties to China go way deeper 1:16:36.280 --> 1:16:39.400 than an alleged office spy. Mr Weingarten, good to have you, sir, 1:16:40.160 --> 1:16:41.960 fuck It's always a pleasure, and thanks so much for 1:16:42.040 --> 1:16:44.040 having me. Ben and I were colleagues the Blaze. By 1:16:44.040 --> 1:16:45.920 the way, he was one of the very smart people there. 1:16:46.040 --> 1:16:47.720 So I'm glad that he's still willing to be my 1:16:47.760 --> 1:16:49.160 friend later on because it makes me feel like I 1:16:49.280 --> 1:16:51.320 must have been one of the smart people there too. Ben, 1:16:51.520 --> 1:16:54.280 let's get into my friend. What what's going on here 1:16:54.320 --> 1:16:58.600 with fine stunt? Yeah, So this story about the alleged 1:16:58.880 --> 1:17:03.280 Chinese spy Russell Lowe really caught my eye because we 1:17:03.479 --> 1:17:07.240 talk all the time. The narrative is all about Russian meadowing, 1:17:07.280 --> 1:17:10.240 and there's no doubt that Russian intelligence is devious and 1:17:10.280 --> 1:17:12.559 they do all sorts of things to try to subvert us, 1:17:12.920 --> 1:17:17.280 try to influence people, etcetera. But China's security apparatus and 1:17:17.400 --> 1:17:21.400 their intelligence apparatus also poses a massive threat. One of 1:17:21.439 --> 1:17:23.679 the things that's not really talked about during the Obama 1:17:23.800 --> 1:17:26.000 years the fact that there was a hack of the 1:17:26.120 --> 1:17:30.400 Office of Personnel Management, the US government documentation on over 1:17:30.520 --> 1:17:34.479 twenty million federal employees and applicants for federal jobs. And 1:17:34.560 --> 1:17:37.320 basically what China did was they stole all of the 1:17:37.400 --> 1:17:41.000 most sensitive information that people put in their applications so 1:17:41.120 --> 1:17:44.000 that the government can actually vet their backgrounds and see 1:17:44.040 --> 1:17:46.920 if they could potentially be compromised by a foreign power. 1:17:47.040 --> 1:17:49.240 This is something that you know well based upon your 1:17:49.280 --> 1:17:55.679 experience and intelligence. China also destroyed America's spying network essentially 1:17:56.000 --> 1:17:59.840 on their soil during the two thousand tens. So we're 1:18:00.040 --> 1:18:03.800 great disadvantage intelligence wise with China. And here you have 1:18:04.360 --> 1:18:08.080 the attempt, and it seems like an actual Chinese buy in. 1:18:08.160 --> 1:18:12.000 Diane fine Stein employee employee as of five years ago. 1:18:12.240 --> 1:18:14.759 She had worked with him for twenty years. Most recently 1:18:14.800 --> 1:18:18.040 it appears he was listed as an office director. So 1:18:18.160 --> 1:18:21.040 it's not just not just some driver. But oh, by 1:18:21.040 --> 1:18:23.160 the way, even if it was just a driver, he 1:18:23.240 --> 1:18:24.760 could do a hell of a lot of damage because 1:18:24.800 --> 1:18:29.240 Diane Finstein was the chairman of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, 1:18:29.360 --> 1:18:31.759 which means she had access and she was dealing daily 1:18:31.960 --> 1:18:36.040 for several years with the most sensitive, classified, top secret 1:18:36.120 --> 1:18:39.640 kind of information which poses a massive threat to US. 1:18:39.880 --> 1:18:41.720 So when I heard this story, what I wanted to 1:18:41.760 --> 1:18:45.280 do was look at what further ties does fine Stein 1:18:45.400 --> 1:18:49.679 have to China? And what I found was just staggering. Now, 1:18:50.360 --> 1:18:52.320 there there's some there's some stuff here that I think 1:18:52.360 --> 1:18:55.640 also people need to need to hear for for background. 1:18:55.760 --> 1:18:58.360 I mean, you start off your piece on the federals 1:18:58.360 --> 1:19:01.000 here with quote I sometimes say that in my last life, 1:19:01.080 --> 1:19:04.280 maybe I was Chinese and quote that's from Senator Diane 1:19:04.360 --> 1:19:07.840 fin Stein. She's got some deep ties and advocacy when 1:19:07.880 --> 1:19:12.000 it comes to Communist China. Yeah, absolutely unbelievable. So when 1:19:12.040 --> 1:19:15.200 I started digging into fine Stein's Chinese background to see 1:19:15.200 --> 1:19:18.759 if this was just one isolated attempt, what I found 1:19:19.000 --> 1:19:23.559 were three major things. One, Diane Finstein and her husband 1:19:23.640 --> 1:19:26.559 have been tied very closely to the most senior ranks 1:19:26.960 --> 1:19:29.519 of the Chinese Communist Party for the last forty years, 1:19:29.640 --> 1:19:34.680 basically since we opened diplomatic relations with China. Number Two, 1:19:34.920 --> 1:19:38.080 fine Stein, in terms of her political positions, has taken 1:19:38.120 --> 1:19:41.639 a very pro China policy in terms of expanding trade 1:19:41.880 --> 1:19:44.959 and allowing them to enter all of the different commercial 1:19:45.040 --> 1:19:47.920 bodies that have allowed China and enabled China to become 1:19:48.280 --> 1:19:51.320 a dominant economic power. At the same time, she's taken 1:19:51.360 --> 1:19:54.920 a very devish position when it comes to military relations 1:19:55.000 --> 1:19:58.560 to China, and she's apologized in the most sickening of 1:19:58.720 --> 1:20:02.120 ways for China as human rights violations, trying to whitewash 1:20:02.240 --> 1:20:05.760 things like Tienamen Square for example, just horrific. But then 1:20:05.800 --> 1:20:08.120 the last piece to all of this, which really ties 1:20:08.160 --> 1:20:10.920 it together, is the fact that Einstein's husband, who is 1:20:10.960 --> 1:20:15.800 a very very successful investor, perhaps not coincidentally, has seen 1:20:15.920 --> 1:20:20.480 his investments in China swell, and that's swelling, that appreciation 1:20:20.600 --> 1:20:25.080 and the profits associated with those investments have occurred alongside 1:20:25.240 --> 1:20:28.280 his wife taking a very pro Chinese position. And oh, 1:20:28.320 --> 1:20:30.599 by the way, he's had access to the very senior 1:20:30.680 --> 1:20:32.880 members of the Chinese Communist Party that she has had, 1:20:33.040 --> 1:20:35.519 because he's taken many trips with her over the years 1:20:35.760 --> 1:20:38.479 to meet with dignitaries on the Chinese side. So you 1:20:38.600 --> 1:20:42.599 have the potentially a spy, you have very pro Chinese policy, 1:20:42.720 --> 1:20:45.240 and then you have a massive business conflict of interest. 1:20:45.600 --> 1:20:49.280 So this could potentially be a real collusion story. And 1:20:49.360 --> 1:20:51.360 I don't want to politicize it in that way, but 1:20:51.560 --> 1:20:54.400 it's a broader problem than any one administration or any 1:20:54.439 --> 1:20:57.800 one senator. Then you write in his piece, very good piece, 1:20:57.840 --> 1:20:59.840 and the Federalist that I would recommend to anybody who's 1:20:59.840 --> 1:21:02.559 got time to read up on this. For the last 1:21:02.640 --> 1:21:06.799 forty years, no politician in America has arguably maintained a deeper, 1:21:07.479 --> 1:21:11.559 more longstanding, and friendlier relationship with China at the highest 1:21:11.640 --> 1:21:14.640 levels of its ruling Communist Party than fine Stein. It 1:21:14.760 --> 1:21:17.759 dates back to the opening of US Chinese diplomatic relations 1:21:17.800 --> 1:21:20.880 in ninety nine. And I feel like nobody knows this. 1:21:20.960 --> 1:21:22.679 I mean, you know you're writing this, and I'm glad 1:21:22.680 --> 1:21:24.439 you're getting the word out here, but this is not 1:21:24.640 --> 1:21:26.839 a part of the coverage. It's like, oh, some Chinese 1:21:26.880 --> 1:21:28.519 guy that was kind of near fin Stein, you know, 1:21:28.760 --> 1:21:31.160 nb D. That's really what the media vibe is on this. 1:21:32.080 --> 1:21:36.280 It is really amazing. And that relationship started when San 1:21:36.360 --> 1:21:41.559 Francisco entered into what's called a sister city relationship with Shanghai, 1:21:41.720 --> 1:21:44.639 so basically they opened up diplomatic relations, started to open 1:21:44.760 --> 1:21:47.599 up some commercial relations, and fine Stein was the one 1:21:47.600 --> 1:21:49.800 who spearheaded that because she was the mayor of San 1:21:49.840 --> 1:21:53.640 Francisco in the way seventies or rather early eighties, the 1:21:53.720 --> 1:21:57.320 mayor of Shanghai at that time, so her counterpart is 1:21:57.760 --> 1:22:01.080 an official is less. His name is jangs Amen. He 1:22:01.400 --> 1:22:05.799 ended up rising from Mayor of Shanghai to ultimately Premier 1:22:06.120 --> 1:22:09.920 General Secretary of the Communist Party, so essentially the equivalent 1:22:10.240 --> 1:22:13.839 of Jijinping. He held three of the top leadership positions 1:22:14.120 --> 1:22:16.560 you could have in the Communist Party, so he was, 1:22:16.680 --> 1:22:21.040 for all intense purposes, the leader of China subsequently in 1:22:21.479 --> 1:22:25.200 his career, and Diane Feinstein maintained very close relationships to 1:22:25.400 --> 1:22:29.000 him throughout that rise. She served as an intermediary between 1:22:29.040 --> 1:22:32.040 the Bill Clinton White House and the Chinese when Jang's 1:22:32.080 --> 1:22:35.200 Amen was leading as a Premier of China. So she 1:22:35.320 --> 1:22:37.120 has been tied to the most senior levels for a 1:22:37.200 --> 1:22:39.680 long time. And what's staggering when you start to look 1:22:39.720 --> 1:22:42.759 at the history is that she talks seemingly in glowing 1:22:42.920 --> 1:22:45.400 terms about how she was invited to China, she and 1:22:45.479 --> 1:22:47.400 her husband and was one of the first people to 1:22:47.479 --> 1:22:49.920 die in the room that Mao z A Dong died 1:22:50.000 --> 1:22:53.680 in and lived in, as if that's some great accomplishment. Oh, 1:22:53.800 --> 1:22:57.320 by the way, these are an enemy power. Essentially, mauz 1:22:57.479 --> 1:23:00.320 Dong was a mass murderer, so what you know, the 1:23:00.439 --> 1:23:03.679 fact that she didn't potentially see that they were sort 1:23:03.720 --> 1:23:06.320 of buttering her up and working her over these years 1:23:06.840 --> 1:23:09.679 apparently is kind of an amazing thing. And there's also 1:23:09.760 --> 1:23:12.720 writing about how, you know, she invited Jang's aim In 1:23:12.800 --> 1:23:14.840 when he was mayored to San Francisco, had him over 1:23:14.960 --> 1:23:18.680 for Thanksgiving, apparently was dancing with him. And this is 1:23:18.760 --> 1:23:22.600 really reminiscent of something that the Soviet Union did. The 1:23:22.680 --> 1:23:27.559 Soviet Union allegedly had ted Kennedy to a Soviet wedding 1:23:27.600 --> 1:23:30.240 that was staged and took pictures of him dancing and 1:23:30.360 --> 1:23:34.360 celebrating with Soviet counterparts. It's a very similar thing, a 1:23:34.439 --> 1:23:37.720 parallel between the Russians and the Chinese. And it's all 1:23:37.840 --> 1:23:40.000 right out there. I mean, this is open source. I 1:23:40.080 --> 1:23:44.800 saite articles from the l A Times from nine nine seven, 1:23:45.240 --> 1:23:47.800 two thousand. The list goes on and on in terms 1:23:47.840 --> 1:23:50.599 of these connections, and it's just a very troubling, more 1:23:50.680 --> 1:23:53.920 than troubling, disturbing thing when you see a U. S. 1:23:53.960 --> 1:23:56.920 Senator so close to people in the highest ranks of 1:23:57.000 --> 1:24:00.519 an adversarial Chinese Communist party and need. One part of 1:24:00.600 --> 1:24:03.080 this ben that I want to highlight for folks is 1:24:03.160 --> 1:24:06.400 that if you're a U. S. Senator, and you're a U. S. 1:24:06.439 --> 1:24:09.120 Senator who sits on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, 1:24:09.120 --> 1:24:11.479 which means that you have oversight of the intelligence community, 1:24:11.760 --> 1:24:15.240 so you essentially have access to anything that you want 1:24:15.320 --> 1:24:17.320 in the intel community. I mean, you know you cannot. 1:24:17.479 --> 1:24:18.560 I know this from what I was in the c 1:24:18.680 --> 1:24:20.760 I A. You can lie to a senator if they 1:24:20.800 --> 1:24:22.640 ask you, you can say we can't talk about this here. 1:24:22.680 --> 1:24:25.200 But if you're behind closed doors they ask you, you 1:24:25.280 --> 1:24:26.720 gotta tell them, right, I mean, if you if you're 1:24:26.760 --> 1:24:31.240 in in a classified setting and there is no background 1:24:31.280 --> 1:24:33.680 investigation of senators people, I don't think people know this. 1:24:34.160 --> 1:24:37.760 The President and senators get clearance by virtue of the 1:24:37.880 --> 1:24:40.880 votes given them by the American people. There is no 1:24:41.120 --> 1:24:45.040 background check on a senator. There is no uh inherent 1:24:45.160 --> 1:24:48.120 counter intelligence check on a sitting US senator. They are 1:24:48.200 --> 1:24:52.240 considered to have clearance by virtue of the office. So 1:24:52.479 --> 1:24:54.679 think about that firm. It's it's not just like she's 1:24:54.720 --> 1:24:58.120 a senior government official who's had a five year reoccurring 1:24:58.160 --> 1:25:02.639 background investigation and access to sified. She's somebody who nobody 1:25:02.760 --> 1:25:04.920 was allowed to look into all this time, and given 1:25:04.960 --> 1:25:09.000 her very powerful position on the Democratic Party. I'm willing 1:25:09.080 --> 1:25:11.040 to bet bend that. You know, when you see the 1:25:11.120 --> 1:25:14.320 way that they used any opportunity with Carter Page to 1:25:14.400 --> 1:25:19.840 get a counterintelligence investigation going against Trump associates, including Trump 1:25:19.920 --> 1:25:22.720 himself really by virtue of his connections, and then what's 1:25:22.760 --> 1:25:26.960 going on here with Diane Feinstein. I'm sorry, this stinks. Look, 1:25:27.040 --> 1:25:30.120 I mean if you read the order calling for the 1:25:30.200 --> 1:25:33.120 convening of the Special Council, and you read the language 1:25:33.160 --> 1:25:36.680 and it talks about looking for any links and orchies 1:25:37.439 --> 1:25:43.040 coordination between in that case, the Trump team and the Russians, Well, 1:25:43.080 --> 1:25:46.040 have you applied the same language to all the links 1:25:46.120 --> 1:25:51.479 ties coordination between Diane Feinstein, her staffers, and the Chinese government. 1:25:51.880 --> 1:25:54.720 Then that Special Council would run for ten years. I mean, 1:25:54.800 --> 1:25:57.120 it would be never ending, because you're talking about someone 1:25:57.400 --> 1:26:01.120 who's had relationships with these senior dignitaries on the Chinese 1:26:01.200 --> 1:26:05.280 side for forty years. I mean, it's it's amazing how 1:26:05.400 --> 1:26:08.360 deep it runs. And there's even a Clinton tie into 1:26:08.479 --> 1:26:11.360 this Bill Clinton tie in, which is, as your listeners 1:26:11.640 --> 1:26:15.400 surely know, in n there was there was an investigation 1:26:15.479 --> 1:26:20.320 into illegal Chinese financing of democratic campaigns in an attempt 1:26:20.360 --> 1:26:22.840 to influence the campaigns. This has been written up, i 1:26:22.880 --> 1:26:25.360 think in the Wall Street Journal pretty recently as uh 1:26:25.400 --> 1:26:29.840 kind of Bill Clinton's Russia. So there was illegal financing 1:26:30.160 --> 1:26:34.879 from Chinese individuals linked to senior members of the Communist 1:26:34.960 --> 1:26:37.519 Party and an attempt to influence Bill Clinton and the 1:26:37.640 --> 1:26:40.080 DNC more broadly. And what do you know, one of 1:26:40.120 --> 1:26:42.960 those people who was convicted, one of the biggest bundwers, 1:26:43.320 --> 1:26:45.400 raised three million dollars for the d n C and 1:26:45.520 --> 1:26:48.400 they gave half of it back because they weren't comfortable 1:26:48.479 --> 1:26:50.600 with the source that it ultimately came from. And this 1:26:50.760 --> 1:26:55.160 individual was convicted on raising these funds for felony campaign 1:26:55.240 --> 1:26:58.200 final finance violations. He was actually one of the people 1:26:58.320 --> 1:27:01.640 who attended a fundraiser at the House in n of 1:27:01.760 --> 1:27:04.920 none other than Diane Feinstein. It was Feinstein, Bill Clinton 1:27:05.200 --> 1:27:07.280 and one of the people associated with that, And the 1:27:07.400 --> 1:27:11.320 FBI had warned Diane Feinstein that the Chinese might try 1:27:11.400 --> 1:27:14.680 to make campaign contributions to influence her. This is back 1:27:14.760 --> 1:27:19.320 in nine she was told this by the FBI. So 1:27:19.840 --> 1:27:22.920 there's a long story here, a lot of details that 1:27:23.000 --> 1:27:24.600 I lay out and try to do so in a 1:27:24.680 --> 1:27:27.600 systematic fashion in this article. And I think this is 1:27:27.640 --> 1:27:29.680 just the tip of the iceberg, because this is just 1:27:29.800 --> 1:27:33.120 reporting on open source information that's out there that anyone 1:27:33.240 --> 1:27:36.120 would want to investigate. If there was a Chinese spy 1:27:36.280 --> 1:27:40.080 potentially close to someone as senior as Diane Feinstein, or 1:27:40.120 --> 1:27:42.920 anyone in the federal government for that matter. Ben, really 1:27:43.000 --> 1:27:45.280 first class deep dive that you've pulled together here with 1:27:45.400 --> 1:27:47.600 this piece. Everyone should check it out. We'll share it 1:27:47.640 --> 1:27:50.960 also on Facebook, the Federalist dot com where you go 1:27:51.080 --> 1:27:54.599 for its Senator Diane Feinstein's ties to China go way 1:27:54.640 --> 1:27:58.760 deeper than alleged office spy. Uh. Then, really appreciate you 1:27:58.880 --> 1:28:03.559 joining us, Ben wein garden. Everybody, thank you so much.

Man, 1:29:30.439 --> 1:29:32.439 do you want to spend a lot of my tax 1:29:32.520 --> 1:29:35.519 money on these proposals that you and Bernie have? Medicare 1:29:35.640 --> 1:29:39.760 for all, college, maybe even housing? How do you pay? 1:29:40.000 --> 1:29:42.080 How do you sell it? So, first of all, the 1:29:42.120 --> 1:29:44.000 thing that we need to realize is people talk about 1:29:44.000 --> 1:29:45.880 the sticker shock of Medicare for all. They do not 1:29:46.000 --> 1:29:48.120 talk about the sticker shock of our of the cost 1:29:48.200 --> 1:29:51.760 of our existing system. Medicare for All is actually much more, 1:29:52.240 --> 1:29:54.760 is actually much cheaper than the current system that we 1:29:54.880 --> 1:29:57.479 pay right now. And let's not forget that. The reason 1:29:57.520 --> 1:30:00.920 that the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act is 1:30:00.960 --> 1:30:03.960 because they ruled that each of these monthly payments that 1:30:04.040 --> 1:30:08.439 everyday Americans make is a tax. And so while it 1:30:08.560 --> 1:30:10.920 may not seem like we pay that tax on April 1:30:11.000 --> 1:30:13.600 fifte we pay it every single month, or we do 1:30:13.720 --> 1:30:16.160 pay a tax season if we don't buy, uh, you know, 1:30:16.439 --> 1:30:18.840 these plans off of the exchange. So we're paying for 1:30:18.920 --> 1:30:22.479 this system. We Americans have the sticker shock of healthcare 1:30:22.560 --> 1:30:25.000 as it is. And we're also not talking about is 1:30:25.240 --> 1:30:28.080 why aren't we incorporating the cost of all the funeral 1:30:28.200 --> 1:30:31.559 expenses of those who die because they can't afford access 1:30:31.600 --> 1:30:35.560 to healthcare? That is part of the cost of our system. Yeah, like, 1:30:35.800 --> 1:30:38.400 why are you not talking about like the cost of funerals, 1:30:38.520 --> 1:30:43.280 because like those flyer bouquets are like super expensive and 1:30:43.439 --> 1:30:46.639 oh my gosh, So I was drinking a non fat 1:30:46.680 --> 1:30:49.560 story latte watching Chris Hayes on MSNBC, and I was 1:30:49.640 --> 1:30:53.040 just like that funeral expense that my friends friends great 1:30:53.080 --> 1:30:56.519 grandmother had was like so expensive, and it's like an 1:30:56.560 --> 1:30:59.120 expense that we should think about with healthcare because like 1:30:59.640 --> 1:31:02.280 you know, like the big like the thing where you 1:31:02.360 --> 1:31:07.719 put the person when they're dead is like really expensive. Folks. Folks, 1:31:09.600 --> 1:31:12.360 you know, I'm actually starting to feel I've actually started 1:31:12.360 --> 1:31:14.520 to feel a little bad for me that the Democrats 1:31:14.560 --> 1:31:19.479 have put forward this Occasio Cortez lady as the hope 1:31:19.520 --> 1:31:21.720 of their party. This is this is what they've got 1:31:21.800 --> 1:31:24.479 for us going forward. Here, this is who they offer 1:31:24.600 --> 1:31:27.959 up to to change one five of the U. S economy. 1:31:29.720 --> 1:31:34.519 Everything that she said essentially makes no sense. Her whole 1:31:34.560 --> 1:31:37.439 thing about Obamacare and the tax, Yeah, you pay that 1:31:37.800 --> 1:31:40.640 if you're in the individual market and you choose not 1:31:40.800 --> 1:31:44.160 to buy insurance. And oh, by the way, Republicans have 1:31:44.240 --> 1:31:47.280 wiped this away, right, so you know what when she 1:31:47.320 --> 1:31:50.080 says you're you're paying it every month, it's not clear 1:31:50.160 --> 1:31:54.920 what she's talking about. And everybody who's done any study 1:31:55.439 --> 1:31:58.920 of not just medicare or healthcare, but basic market forces 1:31:58.960 --> 1:32:02.599 will tell you that when people have access to whatever 1:32:02.680 --> 1:32:05.320 they want, if something, they will over use it and 1:32:05.400 --> 1:32:09.120 they will over tax the system, in this case, the 1:32:09.200 --> 1:32:12.000 health care system, by just saying yeah, you know, I'll 1:32:12.120 --> 1:32:15.840 use more of this. I'll go see the specialist right away. 1:32:15.960 --> 1:32:18.360 I'll have this, you know, I'll choose to have this, uh, 1:32:18.680 --> 1:32:21.160 this surgery sooner, or I'll you know, all these different 1:32:21.200 --> 1:32:24.479 things that come on people go to Look. I told 1:32:24.520 --> 1:32:25.760 you that's true. And I was in the er trying 1:32:25.760 --> 1:32:29.320 to get my eye fixed and people were in there 1:32:29.520 --> 1:32:32.320 getting eyeglasses in the r What are you What are 1:32:32.320 --> 1:32:34.760 you doing in here? Oh? Okay, it's a first line 1:32:34.760 --> 1:32:38.400 of care. I see what's going on. So I was. 1:32:39.240 --> 1:32:42.080 I am amazed that she goes on air and says 1:32:42.120 --> 1:32:44.040 the things that she says, But maybe I shouldn't be 1:32:44.360 --> 1:32:46.560 by the way. She was also asked about whether Pelosi 1:32:46.960 --> 1:32:49.240 is the is the true leader of the Democratic Party. 1:32:49.960 --> 1:32:53.560 Here is Here's what she said, sev you are to 1:32:53.600 --> 1:32:55.360 be successful in the general. We don't want to get 1:32:55.360 --> 1:32:57.800 ahead of ourselves. But if you win and you go 1:32:57.920 --> 1:33:00.960 to Congress, there will be a leader of your caucus. 1:33:01.080 --> 1:33:05.680 Her name is Nancy Pelosi. Do you recognize her as 1:33:05.760 --> 1:33:10.519 the leader for the House Democrat? I think absolutely? Right now? 1:33:10.680 --> 1:33:15.000 You know she she is, She is the leader of No, no, 1:33:15.120 --> 1:33:18.599 she I mean um um speaker or rather leader Pelosi 1:33:18.680 --> 1:33:22.160 hopefully um. You know, we'll see. She's a she's the 1:33:22.479 --> 1:33:24.160 current leader of the party, and I think that the 1:33:24.240 --> 1:33:26.479 party absolutely does have its leadership in the House. We 1:33:26.560 --> 1:33:29.719 have our leadership in in the Senate as well. Would 1:33:29.760 --> 1:33:34.599 you back Pelosi the leader and are in the House. Well, 1:33:34.680 --> 1:33:37.000 I think again, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves. 1:33:37.080 --> 1:33:39.360 As you mentioned, I gotta win my race first, but 1:33:39.439 --> 1:33:42.000 we got to take a look at what's going on. Yeah, 1:33:42.080 --> 1:33:44.519 like she's like the leader of the leadership and the 1:33:44.680 --> 1:33:47.880 leadering of like the leader ishness of the House, and 1:33:48.040 --> 1:33:51.479 like like leadering is like really hard for her, and 1:33:51.640 --> 1:33:54.000 so like yeah, like I think that she's going to 1:33:54.080 --> 1:34:01.000 like leaderize things like really, well, who folks not good? 1:34:01.560 --> 1:34:04.120 Not good from the Democrats. I think Producer Mike secretly 1:34:04.160 --> 1:34:09.840 has a soft spot for Acasio Cortez. No no thumbs down, please, dude. 1:34:10.720 --> 1:34:12.559 I feel like I feel like you get her phone now. Yeah, 1:34:12.880 --> 1:34:14.599 I feel like Producer Mike, we get her phone number 1:34:14.600 --> 1:34:16.080 in the bar or not think twice about it. I'm 1:34:16.120 --> 1:34:18.639 just putting that out there. I don't know Producer Mike's 1:34:18.640 --> 1:34:21.640 got game ladies. All right, we are. We've got a 1:34:21.680 --> 1:34:25.320 whole lot more to talk about, including Space Force, Space Force, 1:34:25.520 --> 1:34:32.200 Party Tom excellent Space Force coming up. The essence of 1:34:32.320 --> 1:34:36.280 the American character is to explore new horizons and to 1:34:36.520 --> 1:34:41.960 tame new frontiers. But our destiny beyond the Earth is 1:34:42.000 --> 1:34:45.960 not only a matter of national identity, but a matter 1:34:46.120 --> 1:34:50.120 of national security. Is so important for our military, and 1:34:50.200 --> 1:34:53.479 today we renew the President's call on the Congress of 1:34:53.520 --> 1:34:56.759 the United States to invest in additional eight billion dollars 1:34:56.840 --> 1:35:00.000 in our space security systems over the next five years. 1:35:01.120 --> 1:35:03.040 The men and women in this department have also taken 1:35:03.080 --> 1:35:06.840 historic steps to secure American leadership in space. At the 1:35:06.880 --> 1:35:10.240 direction of Secretary Matters, the Department of Defense is fielding 1:35:10.240 --> 1:35:14.600 a new generation of jam resistant GPS and communication satellites 1:35:15.320 --> 1:35:18.160 and new missile warning satellites that are smaller, tougher, and 1:35:18.960 --> 1:35:22.280 more maneuverable than ever before. You're only a beginning of 1:35:22.439 --> 1:35:26.160 meeting the rising security threats our nation faces in space 1:35:26.240 --> 1:35:30.639 today and in the future. As President Trump has said 1:35:30.680 --> 1:35:33.200 in his words, it is not enough to merely have 1:35:33.240 --> 1:35:38.960 an American presence in space. We must have American dominance 1:35:39.280 --> 1:35:44.519 in space. And so we will Space Force. Yeah, US 1:35:44.840 --> 1:35:49.320 Space Force. Man, it's gonna be amazing. Just when you 1:35:49.439 --> 1:35:52.160 thought the Trump presidents he couldn't be any more awesome, 1:35:52.880 --> 1:35:57.360 He's coming to you with Space Force also known as 1:35:57.520 --> 1:36:01.160 the United States Space Command the Pentagon and veiled this, 1:36:01.600 --> 1:36:05.960 unveiled the support And originally they said that the Space 1:36:06.040 --> 1:36:08.160 Force should be under the purview of the Air Force. 1:36:08.800 --> 1:36:11.840 But people say that the Air Force doesn't pay enough 1:36:11.880 --> 1:36:14.040 attention to outer space because there's no golf courses and 1:36:14.080 --> 1:36:17.360 out of space. Oh sorry, Air Force, just kidding, just kidding. 1:36:17.400 --> 1:36:18.920 I know you're only allowed to make jokes if you're 1:36:19.479 --> 1:36:23.040 actually in the service, uh, but I do hear even 1:36:23.080 --> 1:36:25.040 when I was in I will tell you this, even 1:36:25.120 --> 1:36:28.880 intelligence analysts make jokes about the Air Force. Sometimes we 1:36:28.920 --> 1:36:32.320 don't make jokes about maybe Army or or Marines, but 1:36:32.400 --> 1:36:36.080 occasionally make Air Force base jokes because the basis like, wow, 1:36:36.479 --> 1:36:39.120 you guys have even nicer basis than us intel nerds, dude, 1:36:39.160 --> 1:36:41.360 and we we've looked for where they put the cappuccino 1:36:41.479 --> 1:36:46.559 machine right away. But I digress. So, look, the space 1:36:46.640 --> 1:36:49.479 situation is is important. And I know I'm being a 1:36:49.520 --> 1:36:51.160 little tongue in cheek about the whole thing. But this 1:36:51.320 --> 1:36:54.840 is not this is not something that we can turn 1:36:54.880 --> 1:36:58.160 a blind eye too. This isn't something that isn't gonna 1:36:58.200 --> 1:37:00.080 become a much bigger she going for. We've we've we 1:37:00.160 --> 1:37:05.040 got a lot of communications technology in space. We're using 1:37:05.080 --> 1:37:07.400 satellites for all kinds of comp technology. We've been using 1:37:07.439 --> 1:37:13.080 it for for surveillance purposes. We have the National Geospatial 1:37:13.160 --> 1:37:20.519 Intelligence uh Center. Um, and you know there's there's some 1:37:20.720 --> 1:37:25.680 very clear or the national did I say National Geospatial 1:37:25.840 --> 1:37:31.000 National Ground Intelligence Center that's part of the h Army 1:37:31.080 --> 1:37:34.960 Intelligence Security Command. Am I Am I wrong about the 1:37:35.360 --> 1:37:40.559 geos whoops? National Ground Intelligence Center? All right? Whatever in JIC, Um, 1:37:40.920 --> 1:37:46.200 maybe I got my I got my stuff wrong. Um. Anyway, 1:37:46.520 --> 1:37:50.479 it's gonna get more. It's gonna become a bigger issue. 1:37:51.840 --> 1:37:54.280 It's gonna become something that we're gonna have to be 1:37:54.880 --> 1:37:56.880 looking at going forward. And I like the Trump is 1:37:56.960 --> 1:38:02.960 on it. I like that is, you know, National Geospatial 1:38:03.160 --> 1:38:07.000 Intelligence Agency. Yeah, all right, I thought I was sorry. 1:38:07.000 --> 1:38:08.880 I stopp was like, my gosh, buck, have you been 1:38:08.920 --> 1:38:11.439 out of the intel community that long? You can't even 1:38:11.840 --> 1:38:14.240 can't even remember the names of these different places. The 1:38:14.320 --> 1:38:17.040 truth is right now. Have you offered me if you 1:38:17.160 --> 1:38:18.519 ever be a lot of money to come up with 1:38:18.600 --> 1:38:20.960 all seventeen intel agencies. Off the top of my head, 1:38:21.080 --> 1:38:25.640 I could do it, but I can't guarantee you I 1:38:25.680 --> 1:38:28.080 could do it. I could probably do it, but I'm 1:38:28.120 --> 1:38:29.640 not sure I could guarantee I could do it. And 1:38:29.720 --> 1:38:32.200 there's some stuff like I n R at State Intelligence 1:38:32.240 --> 1:38:34.120 and research like come on, you're not an intel agency, 1:38:34.200 --> 1:38:37.120 get out of here. Subject matter experts at the State 1:38:37.200 --> 1:38:40.080 Department doesn't count anyway. So this is what this is 1:38:40.120 --> 1:38:45.760 what we got going forward. We've got the UM, We've 1:38:45.840 --> 1:38:52.000 got the Space Force. Space Force, I gotta say, is 1:38:52.040 --> 1:38:54.120 something that I'm excited about. We don't really know where 1:38:54.120 --> 1:38:55.599 it's going. We just know that they're gonna be using 1:38:55.680 --> 1:38:59.960 this for a whole bunch of very important plans go 1:39:00.120 --> 1:39:05.519 for and eventually there will be war fighting that takes 1:39:05.560 --> 1:39:08.439 place in space. I think that much is clear, and 1:39:08.840 --> 1:39:11.519 I believe it. I c B M right goes up 1:39:11.560 --> 1:39:15.200 into the upper atmosphere and satellites. Can you know, puop 1:39:15.280 --> 1:39:16.840 you and shoot the I C B. I don't know. 1:39:16.840 --> 1:39:19.080 I'm not a Once you start getting out of the 1:39:19.320 --> 1:39:23.000 realm of counter terrorism, and counterinsurgency. I just read Ton 1:39:23.080 --> 1:39:25.439 Clancy novels like everybody else. I don't really have a 1:39:25.520 --> 1:39:27.840 particular expertise. I think that's come across the way I'm 1:39:27.840 --> 1:39:31.360 talking to this. I'm just like Space Force. I just 1:39:31.479 --> 1:39:35.200 want to be your force in space. I could do 1:39:35.280 --> 1:39:37.439 this theme song, right, producer, Mike. I could do the 1:39:37.520 --> 1:39:39.880 theme song myself like a one I'm a one man 1:39:39.960 --> 1:39:41.680 band here, not just in terms of the radio show, 1:39:41.760 --> 1:39:47.439 but it terms out everything space face. So yeah, man, 1:39:47.680 --> 1:39:49.760 that's what I've That's what I've got going on. Um, 1:39:50.240 --> 1:39:52.719 looking forward to hearing more about the Space Force, looking 1:39:52.720 --> 1:39:55.760 forward to uh, understanding more of what the plan is 1:39:55.960 --> 1:39:58.839 for for Trump and all the rest of them. Space 1:39:58.960 --> 1:40:02.519 Force all the way. That's what Trump put that on Twitter. 1:40:02.840 --> 1:40:04.800 All right, So I'm not just I'm not the only 1:40:04.880 --> 1:40:09.599 one who's excited about this. It's gonna be fantastic. Okay, Yeah, 1:40:09.960 --> 1:40:12.439 you know it has to go through Congress, wom wom. 1:40:12.640 --> 1:40:16.040 I get it. Um, but you got Pentagon officials saying 1:40:16.120 --> 1:40:20.200 that they will make this thing happen. So now this 1:40:20.280 --> 1:40:22.040 will also lead us to have a bunch of big 1:40:22.160 --> 1:40:26.560 nerd fights over what the best of the of the 1:40:26.760 --> 1:40:32.439 Space epic series, whether it's Battlestar Galactica, UM, the various 1:40:32.520 --> 1:40:37.040 Star Trek iterations, the various Star Wars movies, which is 1:40:37.120 --> 1:40:39.880 the greatest of all time. I've had friends tell me 1:40:39.920 --> 1:40:42.920 Battlestar Galactica is the greatest show ever, so I I 1:40:43.160 --> 1:40:46.400 gotta watch it. I gotta embrace my inner nerd and 1:40:46.479 --> 1:40:53.840 check out Battlestar Galactica because Space Force. That's right. It's 1:40:53.960 --> 1:40:57.080 Roll called time.

Indeed, Phillis beat you 1:41:51.160 --> 1:41:53.280 to the punch, Jason, But thank you for writing in 1:41:53.960 --> 1:41:59.280 none the less. Adam writes, bad producer Mike August eight 1:41:59.439 --> 1:42:01.920 is missing an eye. Our producer, Mike, you're getting called out. 1:42:02.360 --> 1:42:05.000 And let me now say before producer Mike throws something 1:42:05.080 --> 1:42:07.840 at me, which would take a lot of elbow grease 1:42:07.840 --> 1:42:09.400 because he's in New York and I'm in d c 1:42:10.240 --> 1:42:12.720 Uh it was. It's just a tech glitch, has nothing 1:42:12.760 --> 1:42:14.280 to do with Mike or the team here. The I 1:42:14.439 --> 1:42:17.519 Heart platform for some reason didn't upload. Our podcasts should 1:42:17.560 --> 1:42:20.840 be up now if it's from yesterday. If it is not, 1:42:21.120 --> 1:42:24.040 let us know. And also it's why you always can 1:42:24.120 --> 1:42:28.559 have the backup of Stitcher or SoundCloud. J J writes, 1:42:28.680 --> 1:42:31.280 great show, can't call on lives. I have to listen 1:42:31.280 --> 1:42:33.439 to podcast. But talking about the collusion, is there any 1:42:33.439 --> 1:42:36.120 way you can dive into how much money the Mueller 1:42:36.240 --> 1:42:40.640 Probe has spent on this investigation? Well, j J. The 1:42:40.800 --> 1:42:44.360 Mueller Probe spent in the millions, probably over ten millions 1:42:44.360 --> 1:42:47.160 at this point, although I don't know. I I understand 1:42:47.200 --> 1:42:48.880 that it's frustrating for people because it's a waste of 1:42:48.920 --> 1:42:51.960 taxpayer dollars. But I also would note in all in 1:42:52.040 --> 1:42:55.400 all honesty, that complaining about the cost of the Muller 1:42:55.439 --> 1:42:58.519 probe is probably in or even just pointing out the 1:42:58.560 --> 1:43:01.000 cost of Muller probe is not effective as a means 1:43:01.080 --> 1:43:06.439 of combating its excesses. This is a politically driven situation, 1:43:06.520 --> 1:43:11.720 a politically driven investigation, and we should attack it on 1:43:11.800 --> 1:43:14.720 the merits more than on the cost. I think so. 1:43:16.000 --> 1:43:18.040 But if a fair question you ask, I just don't 1:43:18.080 --> 1:43:19.920 know how effective it is. And if it's just a 1:43:19.960 --> 1:43:23.800 curiosity question, then sure. If it's say, hey, this costs 1:43:23.840 --> 1:43:27.760 a lot, We're gonna have a trillion dollar deficit next year, folks, 1:43:27.800 --> 1:43:29.600 I don't think six million dollars is gonna matter all 1:43:29.640 --> 1:43:31.599 that or ten million dollars gonna matter all that much 1:43:31.640 --> 1:43:35.719 to it erin right, Oh my god, buck so easy. 1:43:36.120 --> 1:43:41.280 Now stay close, stay close. That's right, it is Ghostbusters. 1:43:42.200 --> 1:43:49.360 I know exactly what to do. That's stay close, stay close, 1:43:52.360 --> 1:44:00.240 so exactly as I say, You're ready, ready, get never 1:44:00.360 --> 1:44:09.439 gets old. Ghostbusters a truly truly timeless classic of American cinema. Okay, now, 1:44:10.120 --> 1:44:14.120 who do we have here? Wayne? Wayne is also letting 1:44:14.160 --> 1:44:16.360 you know the the August eighth show did not post 1:44:16.400 --> 1:44:19.000 to I Heart Radio. But I'm er Wayne, I'm sorry 1:44:19.000 --> 1:44:21.680 about that. I don't know what's going on with I Heart. 1:44:21.720 --> 1:44:24.120 I don't know why it does not upload our podcast, 1:44:24.400 --> 1:44:27.479 and we will fix it. But always remember you can 1:44:27.520 --> 1:44:31.559 go on iTunes, or you can go on um stitcher 1:44:31.640 --> 1:44:36.880 dot com and the show posts there as well. Bruce, right, 1:44:37.040 --> 1:44:41.880 your show has rapidly become among my favorites. When you 1:44:41.960 --> 1:44:43.960 start to tell liberals that call in to shut the 1:44:44.000 --> 1:44:48.080 hell up, then you will have caught up to my favorite. Okay, Bruce, 1:44:48.800 --> 1:44:51.040 A little bit different style for me, but thank you 1:44:51.200 --> 1:44:54.800 very much for our writing in. Nonetheless, I do appreciate it. 1:44:55.640 --> 1:45:00.439 Gentry whoa gentry? Oh here we go? Um? But enjoining 1:45:00.479 --> 1:45:02.679 the new show, not so sure about your co host, 1:45:02.760 --> 1:45:05.080 but she seems pleasant enough. I thought I would just 1:45:05.120 --> 1:45:07.720 ask a quick question. I don't think i've heard you 1:45:07.760 --> 1:45:10.639 addressed yet. Why are the Democrats losing their minds about 1:45:10.640 --> 1:45:13.839 the Trump Tower meeting when the entire Russian collusion delusion 1:45:14.439 --> 1:45:18.120 hinges upon information obtained from a foreign national if getting 1:45:18.160 --> 1:45:21.600 info from a foreign national is this huge problem. Do 1:45:21.680 --> 1:45:23.960 they not realize what the dossier is or do they 1:45:24.040 --> 1:45:26.479 think that we're just also stupid that we forgot they 1:45:26.600 --> 1:45:29.519 paid a brit to get supposed Russian intel on the 1:45:29.600 --> 1:45:34.519 president Shields High Gentry, Uh, Gentry, you're you're correct? Where's it? 1:45:34.600 --> 1:45:38.439 Gentry Gentry? You are correct, sir. And that's why they 1:45:38.479 --> 1:45:40.120 were going to have to back off this narrative, you see, 1:45:40.160 --> 1:45:43.040 that ran with it until we came up with the truth, 1:45:43.439 --> 1:45:46.240 which was the only effective counter narrative that was needed here. 1:45:46.720 --> 1:45:51.479 You can't think that getting information from foreign source is 1:45:51.520 --> 1:45:53.599 okay for one candidate but not okay for the other. 1:45:53.760 --> 1:45:59.679 It does not work that way. Um and uh mr 1:45:59.800 --> 1:46:03.560 ms to gentry Gentry, thank you so much. William is 1:46:03.960 --> 1:46:08.280 next here. Uh, your Navy seal guy Brandon is absolutely correct. 1:46:08.760 --> 1:46:12.400 In combat, I always felt the fear afterwards. I guess 1:46:12.439 --> 1:46:15.240 the adrenaline took over during the action. I did have 1:46:15.400 --> 1:46:18.479 good friends that frozen fear during a firefight. I think 1:46:18.560 --> 1:46:21.519 playing football, martial arts, wrestling, and swimming in the ocean 1:46:21.600 --> 1:46:24.000 as a kid helped me, and Daddy taught me to 1:46:24.080 --> 1:46:26.800 always throw the first punch. I'm afraid of heights, yet 1:46:26.840 --> 1:46:30.040 I'm airborne. I'm afraid of spiders and all flying, stinging 1:46:30.120 --> 1:46:33.000 insects and snakes, but I crawl under my house to 1:46:33.080 --> 1:46:37.200 fix things. Conquering fear, You conquered fear, you have a show. 1:46:37.720 --> 1:46:40.040 My biggest fear is public speaking, and and now I 1:46:40.120 --> 1:46:43.080 do it every day. Fear is the greatest enemy. Facing 1:46:43.160 --> 1:46:44.920 fear is what makes you an adult. It makes you 1:46:45.000 --> 1:46:47.040 a great dad or mom, it makes you a great 1:46:47.400 --> 1:46:50.879 business person. Well, William, that's a that's a really inspired 1:46:50.920 --> 1:46:53.599 and powerful note from you, So thank you so much 1:46:53.640 --> 1:46:56.880 for sending that into us here in the Hut. And yeah, 1:46:56.960 --> 1:47:00.360 I look, I've told you many times before that I'm 1:47:00.439 --> 1:47:05.760 out a nationally syndicated radio host who has who has been, 1:47:05.840 --> 1:47:09.200 at different times given the biggest radio platforms in the 1:47:09.280 --> 1:47:12.559 country for three hours at a time. Rush and Hannity 1:47:12.640 --> 1:47:15.840 and Sean I'm sorry, and Glenn, Shan and Hanny are 1:47:15.840 --> 1:47:19.280 the same person. Uh, but I'm somebody who had a 1:47:19.280 --> 1:47:23.280 speech impediment growing up. So overcoming your fears is a 1:47:23.400 --> 1:47:30.680 greatly empowering thing. Overcoming fear is something that will put 1:47:30.760 --> 1:47:33.200 you in good stead for well, once you start doing it, 1:47:33.240 --> 1:47:35.479 I think you want to do it more. And William 1:47:35.479 --> 1:47:37.160 thank you for your service and thank you very much 1:47:37.960 --> 1:47:43.519 for writing in Monica. Right, Hey Buck, great show. Gun 1:47:43.720 --> 1:47:45.960 violence in Chicago. The left says the violence there is 1:47:46.040 --> 1:47:48.760 due to adjacent cities and counties not having enough gun laws. 1:47:48.880 --> 1:47:54.519 Of course, it is because of not enough control. Shields High, Yes, Monica, 1:47:54.560 --> 1:47:57.439 I know. So you know in a city where guns 1:47:57.479 --> 1:48:00.599 are banned, they say it's because of lacks gun laws 1:48:00.760 --> 1:48:04.880 in surrounding counties. But in places like in entire states 1:48:04.960 --> 1:48:08.400 like Vermont, for example, that have very lax gun laws, 1:48:08.720 --> 1:48:12.839 there's almost no crime. Why is that? Why is Vermont 1:48:13.280 --> 1:48:15.240 such an outlier? It's not just Vermont. There are some 1:48:15.280 --> 1:48:18.000 other states you could point to as well. But if 1:48:18.040 --> 1:48:20.880 it really is about the guns on gun control, why 1:48:20.920 --> 1:48:26.000 are there states that have retive, relatively speaking, lacks gun 1:48:26.840 --> 1:48:32.040 restrictions and very very few acts of violence. The left 1:48:32.120 --> 1:48:35.360 does not have answers for this, my friends. They don't 1:48:35.400 --> 1:48:39.559 even pretend to have answers for it. Kyle, next up here, 1:48:39.640 --> 1:48:41.720 Hey Bucks, Shields High. I don't recall you hitting on 1:48:41.800 --> 1:48:44.400 this specific angle, but do you suppose that the current 1:48:44.479 --> 1:48:47.360 push by the left for free college is more of 1:48:47.439 --> 1:48:52.000 an effort of massive indoctrination than just their usual half 1:48:52.040 --> 1:48:56.360 baked wouldn't it be nice, if impractical policy. Think about it, 1:48:56.439 --> 1:48:59.120 if you were offered free college, would you ever turn 1:48:59.240 --> 1:49:01.600 that down? In of a trade school or on the 1:49:01.680 --> 1:49:04.200 job training. It seems to me they have a specific 1:49:04.280 --> 1:49:08.160 strategy in brainwashing countless more future collegiates. Is there any 1:49:08.240 --> 1:49:13.160 merit in this observation? Thanks from Kyle near Seattle. Kyle, 1:49:13.240 --> 1:49:16.160 I think you're onto something. I think that you're actually 1:49:16.200 --> 1:49:19.080 making a various jew point here. Um, I don't think 1:49:19.080 --> 1:49:21.080 it's a primary reason. I do think that they're just 1:49:21.320 --> 1:49:25.240 the free stuff crowd really does just want free stuff. 1:49:25.400 --> 1:49:29.400 But I also believe that if you were to um 1:49:29.840 --> 1:49:32.600 ask them, would they prefer to have a lot of 1:49:32.680 --> 1:49:37.000 people in four year, very expensive undergraduate programs funded by 1:49:37.040 --> 1:49:40.920 the state. The answers, of course yes, because college campuses 1:49:41.040 --> 1:49:45.840 are in fact largely indoctrination centers for left wing ideology 1:49:45.920 --> 1:49:48.280 in this country, the same way that public schools have 1:49:48.400 --> 1:49:50.639 been for a long time, although not as much because 1:49:50.680 --> 1:49:53.439 of the local control of some public schools. But the 1:49:53.520 --> 1:49:59.120 Department of Education has been pushing leftist lines for a very, 1:49:59.760 --> 1:50:02.560 very a long time. So I think you're making a 1:50:02.640 --> 1:50:04.920 very good point, and without my friends, I'm gonna close 1:50:05.000 --> 1:50:08.320 up the Freedom Hut for this episode. Please do share 1:50:08.320 --> 1:50:10.000 it with a friend.
