Speaker 1: NATO summit with a mic drop moment, decides to let

22
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: some of our European allies no no more free rides

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: Montfrere no more. Deciding that somebody else is going to

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: pay the bills for your defense. Time to step up. Plus,

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: the anti Kavanaugh resistance is increasingly unhinged. Will hit that

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: and much more coming up on the buck Sexton Show.

27
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show where the mission or

28
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.

29
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again The

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins. No. Two roll wars on their

31
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: full ward vocal stuff. The real storment together not a

32
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: part um. But how can you be together? What in

33
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: country is getting its energy from the person you want

34
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: protection against or rumber teams that you wanted to say

35
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: that you understand that when we stand together. Also in

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: dealing with Russia, we are stronger. I think, well, we

37
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: have seen it's not you're just making Russia richer. Well,

38
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: they're dealing with Russia making the rest of richer. So

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: we're supposed to protect Germany, but they're getting their energy

40
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: from Russia. Explained that Germany is totally controlled by Russia.

41
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: Because they will be getting from sixty to seventy percent

42
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline. And

43
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: you tell me if that's appropriate, because I think it's not.

44
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: And I think it's a very bad thing for NATA

45
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: and I don't think it should have happened. And I

46
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: think we have to talk to Germany about it. On

47
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: top of that, Germany is just paying a little bit

48
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: over one, whereas the United States and actual numbers is

49
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: paying four point two percent. Welcome to the buck, sex

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: and show everybody. Donald Trump coming out swinging at this

51
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: uh NATO summit, And I gotta tell you, I think

52
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: it's about time. Why not have a heart to heart,

53
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Why not have an honest, no frills conversation with their

54
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: European allies. They can handle it, right. These are developed countries.

55
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: They've got serious militaries, they've got serious econoties. Remember d

56
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: EU in its totality, has a bigger county than the

57
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: United States. So why do they look to us for

58
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: their collective defense? Right? Why is this a just an

59
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: article of faith in the international relations? Smart set? Well?

60
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: Trump is asking these questions, and I gotta tell you

61
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: it is. It is one of these days where you

62
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: see some people are willing to ask why. Other people

63
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: just want to sound smart. They just want to say

64
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: what they're told to say, just want to be with

65
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: the cool kids in the cafeteria. And with with NATO,

66
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: we we have a situation wherever it agrees, the Europeans

67
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: are in defense terms being something of freeloaders. And if

68
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: nothing else, why do we have NATO? I asked that

69
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: question in all seriousness. The Soviet Union no longer exists,

70
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: the Warsaw pack is not our concerned. NATO's the reason

71
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: for NATO's existence no longer exists unless somebody really and

72
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: truly believes that Russia is going to invade a sovereign

73
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: European nation anytime soon. Uh, there's no real explanation for

74
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: what NATO is going to do. We can still have

75
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: multilateral and bilateral defense treaties with any countries you want.

76
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: And when you really get down to it, I'm trying

77
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: to be a little contrained, a little provocative because Trump's

78
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: out there, and so that means that you get the

79
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: hysterical reaction from liberals there. Oh he's gonna destroy that,

80
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna destroy nd On, what's gonna happen here, Oh,

81
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: here we go. Christian arman Pool thinks it's unprecedented, blatant.

82
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: It is unprecedented. It violates every norm of an alliance

83
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: norm specifically, I'm talking about the captive and controlled by

84
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: when he refers to Germany and Angela Merkel being controlled

85
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: by Vladimir Putin and Russia. It is unprecedented language. It

86
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: is a real threat to the alliance. Is it threats

87
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: to the alliance? Why? Why is it a threat to

88
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: the How is it a threat to the alliance? No

89
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: one saying alliance is going anywhere? But can't we think

90
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: about this? Can we have a discussion about what the

91
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: future of US European military cooperation should be. People keep

92
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: saying this, They say, oh, you know he's doing He's

93
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: doing Putin's bidding. And I say, hold on a second.

94
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: Not only is that unfair and skipping way down the

95
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: line and act No one's saying we're abandoning your European College.

96
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 1: The one thing we're breaking alliances with with these countries.

97
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: We don't want to work with them anymore. We have

98
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: deep bonds with our European partners, particularly the UK, but

99
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: other countries too, The French, are Okay, A bunch of

100
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: those European countries are nice, nice places to visit. But

101
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: I also have to ask, you don't really think about this.

102
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: Would you want if if trying, if there was an

103
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: incident involving Russian masca rof car, which is you know,

104
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: warfare via concealment, right, trying to do some kind of

105
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: they would create some disturbance, and then Russian paramilitaries are

106
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, in a country like Latvia.

107
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying we would abandoned. I'm not saying we

108
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't put sanctions on Russia, we wouldn't do things, But

109
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: would you really would you want your son or daughter

110
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: to you know, get get para dropped. I know we

111
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: don't really do that anymore, but you know I'll get

112
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: get dropped off by see one thirty next door. And

113
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: now we're we're gonna be fighting these Russian paramilitaries in

114
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: lat Villa on on behalf of the Latvians. Um. I'm

115
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: not saying no, I'm just saying, can we think about

116
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: this a little bit? We think beyond just the the

117
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: screeds in the hysteria, because what you see is anything

118
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: that trumps involved in People don't want to have a

119
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: rational conversation. They don't want to have a reasonable discussion.

120
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: NATO somehow becomes oh, it's terrible. Uh, look this is

121
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. And I'll be honest

122
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: with you. Not a lot of people will. I'll be

123
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: honest with you. The NATO conversation. It's just nothing's gonna change.

124
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: It's just not really that interesting. What's interesting is the

125
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: reaction to Trump being there and and Trump being Trump.

126
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: But in terms of the policy shifts, what's really going

127
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: to come from this? You know, they just they're so dishonest.

128
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: You know, they skip over this all the time. Putin

129
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: for example, they say, is so close with Trump, and

130
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: I know there's this meeting coming up, and everyone's like, oh,

131
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: what are they gonna say to each other? The Trump

132
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: administration has been willing to arm Ukrainian military with lethal weapons.

133
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: The Obama administration refused those weapons, including UH sniper rifles

134
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: that we've been giving and an anti tank missiles, javal

135
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: and anti tank missiles to the Ukrainian National Army to

136
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: fight against Russian backed and Russian UH irregular separatists in Ukraine.

137
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: Obama's team wouldn't do that. They backed off of that.

138
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: You have sanctions in place on Russia. Still, you have

139
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: the administration very clear that Russian aggression and bellicost behavior

140
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: is unacceptable. But there is this still, this, this this

141
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: mass hysteria over Prutin and Trump. Putin and Trump they're

142
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: they're best friends. I mean, does anybody really think for

143
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: a second that Trump wouldn't turn on Putin on let's

144
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: even assume they were friends. Trump wouldn't turn on Putin

145
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: on a dime if he felt the least bit disrespected

146
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: by him. You think Trump plays second fiddle the Putin

147
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: at all in his mind, or would even would even

148
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: consider such a thing. No. I think what you had

149
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: before with the Obama administration was eight years of a

150
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: president who looked, acted, and sounded weak on foreign policy matters,

151
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: and who Putin thought he could take to the cleaners

152
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: and on foreign policy did just that right that he

153
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: could just you know, just school them, Just school the

154
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: Obama administration, take what they want, get away with a

155
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. You'll notice that the sanctions they put

156
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: on Obama didn't come until really, I mean the latest

157
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: round of sanctions to say it was for election interference,

158
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: but didn't happen the very late in the administration, and

159
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: the stuff that they it about Georgia and about Crimea

160
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: didn't have any effect on Russian foreign policy what the

161
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: Russians accomplished in Syria because Obama was too busy appeasing

162
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: the Iranians, you know, I mean, that's not discussed nearly enough.

163
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm actually reading almost finished with a book right now

164
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: which I will very I very much recommend all of you.

165
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: It's called red Notice. Now, red notice is what they

166
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: call an international arrest warrant an interpoll. So when a

167
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: red notice is out on you, it means that INTERPOL,

168
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: the international police agency, has been notified that you are

169
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: to be arrested and you are to be uh. You

170
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: are to be transferred right extradited to a specific country. UH. Browder,

171
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: who wrote the book Red Notice, talks about what it's

172
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: like doing business in Russia and then leads you through

173
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: the story of the Magnitsky Act for Sarah Gai Magnitsky,

174
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: who was a mild man nerds patriotic Russian. By the way,

175
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: I really believed in the Russian state, believe in the

176
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: Russian law, a model man of tax attorney who got

177
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of the Kremlin and some of

178
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: the oligarchs because of a massive fraud that Browder helped

179
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: expose through his business dealings. And then Magnitsky was held

180
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: in the worst and most sort of inhumane Russian prison conditions.

181
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: He had all kinds of infections and was losing weight,

182
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: and they would they they intentionally denied him medical treatment.

183
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: He was in horrific suffering. And then when they finally transferred,

184
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the Russian way of doing this.

185
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: I have no illusions about Russian Right. The Russian government

186
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: is bad and does bad things. They're thugs, but they're

187
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: thugs with a lot of nukes. We can't just you know,

188
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: kick them around and treat them like they are a

189
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: bunch of punks. You know. We gotta let them know that,

190
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: yeah we've got you know, we we can hit back too,

191
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: but we can't just get injured with them every time

192
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: we see them. Right. But I have no illusions about

193
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: the Russian state. Neither's Trump. Now that's Pao. Back to

194
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: mcnittskey for a moment here, and this was about a

195
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: decade or so ago, actually, no less than that. Now, um, well,

196
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: I think it was two thousand and it was during

197
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: the Obama administration. I'm forgetting this specific year. But so Magnitsky,

198
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: this lawyer, is in Russian custody. They deny him medical treatment,

199
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: and then finally, wh they're gonna give him medical treatment,

200
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: and all the while you've got these press stories, the

201
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: journalists are saying that Magnitsky is being held he's being held,

202
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: uh in illegal detention. They in Russia, by the they

203
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: can hold you for a year without charging. You. Think

204
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: about that next time you think that the U S

205
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: system is not that great, just remember it's it's the

206
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: best of very bad systems. Ah. But then they finally

207
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: gonna give him medical treatment. Instead, they sent a bunch

208
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: of riot police into his UH cell and beat him

209
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: to death with the tons after he had been writhing

210
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: in pain for months because of untreated he had kidney stones.

211
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: I mean, just terrible stuff. Uh. And the Russians are

212
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: trying this is what the Russians do. They try to

213
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: make examples of people. It's why they put you know,

214
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: polonium and people sushi or whatever and whatever that radio

215
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: radio active isotope was that they poisoned lit Vanenka was

216
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: so and and and now Nova Chuck right, the the

217
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: nerve agent that is has greatly sickened a number of people,

218
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: including a an enemy of the Russian state. So I

219
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: have no illusions about how bad the Russians are. Also,

220
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: for my time in the CIA, trust me, I am

221
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: very aware. A lot of the top people in the agency,

222
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: because of the Cold War, because the main adversary was

223
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union, had very colorful thoughts about the Russians,

224
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: about the KGB, then the FSB uh and and yeah,

225
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of viciousness and

226
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: a lot of thuggery that is part of the enterprise

227
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: of the state in Russia. But there's one part of

228
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: all that. And you know, as you said, you're talking

229
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: about NATO, one part of the in this book that

230
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: comes out. I think it's so interesting. It doesn't get

231
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: nearly enough attention that Obama didn't want to push the

232
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: Magnetski Act. John Kerry didn't want to push the Magnetski Act.

233
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: They didn't want to ruffle feathers. Obama wanted the Russian reset.

234
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Obama wanted to play kate the Russians. Obama was caught

235
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: on the hot mic saying you know, you know, I

236
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: will I'll have more flexibility at the next election. And

237
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: then you know, uh Medvedev was like, remember all that.

238
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we you've had nothing with Trump that's in

239
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: the same universe of appeasement like that. You know, once

240
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: I basically what Obama said was, once I fool the

241
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: American people one more time into thinking that, you know,

242
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: I'll do something that I won't do with you guys,

243
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: then then you know we can actually really talk Hillary

244
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Clinton with a stupid reset button. Obama then carry they

245
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: didn't even want to push the Magnetski Act after Sarage

246
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: Madnisky rotted and then was murdered in a prison cell.

247
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: International news story. A lot of people knew about it,

248
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: they didn't really care because they thought they had more important,

249
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: better things to focus on and to do. John Kerry

250
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: tried to stop the Magnetski Act. Barack Obama his administration

251
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: tried to stop the Magnetski Act. They were soft on

252
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Russia because they were soft on everybody because their foreign

253
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: policy was weak. So and I don't need all the

254
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: former Obama types, all the former you know Obama officials.

255
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: Two lecture us on foreign policy. And I also don't

256
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: need the Bush people, thanks for the wars that you

257
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: know never end. Push folks, I don't really need them either,

258
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: to be telling all the rest of us how this

259
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: needs to go. I'm gonna get more in this specifics

260
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: and NATO here in just a moment, and you'll probably

261
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: hear you talk more about Red Notice another time. Excellent

262
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: book though highly highly recommend and I think you'll all

263
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: be very glad if you pick up a copy and

264
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: check it out for yourself. Eight four four n eight

265
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: to five eight four four we'll talk more about this

266
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: whole NATO Kerfoffel coming up. There's no question that he

267
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: was beating up on on the end Stoltenberg in a

268
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: deliberate way. He was playing to the camera and he

269
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: knew what he was doing. And I can only think

270
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: that he was setting on a trajectory that we're going

271
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: to see throughout this meeting in Brussels, and it's only

272
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: going to, you know, further sour his welcome in the

273
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: UK for the next leg of his trip. So I

274
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: think he is determined to blow up an alliance that

275
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: has America created, as you have pointed out there at

276
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: the creation Uh, we are now witnessing what could be

277
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: the destruction just the coolest spade to spade. The President

278
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: says it's unfair to the US and to the taxpayers.

279
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: But NATO's budget is determined on the size of each

280
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: individual economy. That's why the US spends more. The US

281
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: wants to spend more of domestic g EP on its

282
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: own military. Europe thought that Europe was safe after the

283
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: collapse of the Soviet Union. It was after Russia changed

284
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: the rules of the game that they realized they had

285
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: to spend more. And yes, Saltenburg told President Trump that

286
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I've been doing. So not that it matters,

287
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: I guess to CNN, but I'm a poor is wrong there.

288
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: The the the budget is is by percentage of of

289
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: g d P, so each state there has to is

290
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: supposed to meet two of their gross domestic product. Uh.

291
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: And the NATO estimate is that about fifteen members a

292
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: little over half of the twenty nine total members. Remember

293
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: we got Montenegro in there. Oh uh, we'll actually meet that.

294
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: But it's more than just the money. Of the money

295
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: is important, it's about the mentality. The mentality being that

296
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: these Russian I mean, these European states have this idea

297
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: that they get to spend all this stuff on their

298
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: social welfare programs, and then they get to kind of

299
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: thumb their noses that America knowing that we are the big,

300
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: benevolent brother across the ocean that will come save their

301
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: butts when need be, because we've done it before a

302
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: couple of times. Actually, And by the way, Andrea Mitchell's

303
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: comment about blowing up the alliance, does anybody want to

304
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: place a bet about whether there'll be any significant change

305
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: to the NATO alliance because of what Trump is doing

306
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: right now? I would. I would place a large bet

307
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: if I could. The only change is that we've already

308
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: gotten a change, which is that NATO has pledged because

309
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: of the tough talk from Trump, NATO has pledged to

310
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:48,239
Speaker 1: boost their spending. Well, gee whiz, isn't that something of

311
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: a of a massive surprise, right? I Mean, Trump is

312
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: over there, he's saying enough is enough. But you see,

313
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: here's one of the reasons why Trump has the freedom

314
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: of action here to actually do something. Most presidents, really,

315
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: all presidents in the post Soviet era, have advisors around

316
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,239
Speaker 1: them and have a media complex that is on the

317
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: same sheet of music when it comes to NATO. NATO

318
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: has established the greatest period of global security and it

319
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: is amazing. Trump shows up and he he doesn't care

320
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 1: what people think about the consensus, the conventional wisdom. He

321
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: wants to know what are we doing and what are

322
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: we getting out of this? Is this worthwhile? Is this

323
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: something we should do? It's oddly enough for so many people,

324
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: an intellectually more honest way to approach an issue like this,

325
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: what's really going on with NATO. But the other part

326
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: of this, too is that the left, they don't really

327
00:19:45,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: care about NATO. He's holding the line for America. Buck

328
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Sexton his back. Germany is a rich country. They talked

329
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: about they can increase it is tig e bien by well,

330
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: they could increase it immediately tomorrow and have no problem.

331
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair to the United States. So

332
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do something because we're not gonna

333
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: put up with it. We can't put up with it,

334
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: and it's inappropriate. I think it's very unfair to our country.

335
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: It's very unfair to our taxpayer, and I think that

336
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: these countries have to step it up. Not over a

337
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: ten year period have to step it up immediately. Let's

338
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: a very small amount of money relative to what they

339
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: owe and to what they should be paying, and it's

340
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: an unfair burden of the United States. So we're here

341
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: to talk about that, and I'm sure it will be resolved.

342
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: We all agree that you have to do more. Law

343
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: scale was the biggest thing to in defense spending inclse

344
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: youfin on the in the generation? Why was that last year?

345
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: It's also your leadership to be close to a message

346
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: on on hey Wall, right that I've sent it to

347
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: fort This has gotten in decades, by the way, this

348
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: has gotten from many presidents, but no other president brought

349
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: it up like I bring it up. Trade, NATO, ally, spending, immigration.

350
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: These are issues where we have been told one thing

351
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: for decades, and that thing we've been told is at

352
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: least partially untrue, in some cases largely untrue. All Right,

353
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: That that that we can't just have a more honest

354
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: discussion about all of this is to our detriment until

355
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: Trump came along, and now we can finally talk about it.

356
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: You know, you see a lot of people go, oh

357
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: my gosh, he's he's being so mean. He's saying this

358
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: stuff about how Germany gets. Yeah, Germany gets about thirty

359
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: of its natural gas, primarily used for heating. It gets

360
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: its natural gas from Russia from Russian pipelines, and the Russians,

361
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: by the way, are not unwilling to shut down those

362
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: pipelines occasionally to kind of show people whose boss. And

363
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: from what I understand, it's very cold and Dusseldorf in

364
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: like January. So yeah, there is a real connection there.

365
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: There's Russian influence. Russia is going to have influence, particularly

366
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: in former Soviet states that is difficult for us to

367
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: counter on a cultural level. I'm not saying it's I

368
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: possible to saying that there there's gonna have there's gonna

369
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: be influence. I mean there are countries like Latvia where

370
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: there are Russian, large numbers of Russian speakers, and you know,

371
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: I think what you're seeing happening here is the the

372
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: final recognition from a lot of people who have been

373
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: criticizing Trump about NATO along that he's right. Stoldenberg said it.

374
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, we're spending more Monday because of you. Like, yeah,

375
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: that's right, you guys need to spend more money. It's

376
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: it's also a question of put your money where your

377
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: mouth is, have more skin in the game. The European

378
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: states spending more on their own defense makes them think

379
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: differently about their foreign policy, makes them think differently about

380
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: there uh, their expenditures across the board. And there is

381
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: no reason why we should be in a position to

382
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: think that if something were to go really bad in

383
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: Europe with the Russia visa, be the Russians, that it

384
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: would fall on us to really counter the Germany is

385
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: an industrial powerhouse, huge population, very wealthy. I know some

386
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: people get a little nervous about the Germans, you know,

387
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: building up their military for obvious reasons, right, history and

388
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: all that. But you know this, this is the kind

389
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: of conversation that can actually move the needle. Senator Barosso,

390
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: by the way, spoke about this issue of German energy.

391
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: He's totally correct. Place seven. The President is unique and

392
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: unconventional in his approach, but he is absolutely right in

393
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: what he is saying. You know, Germany decided to get

394
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: rid of all its nuclear power plants and as a

395
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: result became more dependent on Russia for energy, and energy

396
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: is called the master resource for a reason. It powers

397
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: economies at powers countries. It is a forced multiplier. It

398
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: is an instrument of power, and when Germany is more

399
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: dependent on Russia for energy, that gives Russia that much

400
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: more power over Germany and over the European Union as well.

401
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: It is absolutely true so the German decision making. And

402
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: for those who are wondering, black block the tactic that

403
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: you will see, this is a little fun. This is

404
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 1: why you listened to this show because I know all

405
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: kinds of random fun stuff. Black block is actually schwartzer block.

406
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: It comes from Germany. Remember this is where you have

407
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,239
Speaker 1: these guys, the anarchists, dressed in black from head to toe,

408
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: and they run around and they act like street protest paramilitaries. Uh.

409
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: You know, and Antifa uses black block as a tactic.

410
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: Now an antiphon black block almost feel indistinguishable. Where's my

411
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: Antifa call out, John, You've got nothing for me? Uh.

412
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: It started though in Germany as a protest against nuclear

413
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: energy back and I think the eighties. So they have

414
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: the left in Germany get rid of nuclear power plants

415
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: and as a result, there's a much greater reliance on

416
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: the fossil fuels coming in from Russia, which means that

417
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: Russian and German economic interests are more intertwined, which means,

418
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: by the way, the Russians have a lot more leverage

419
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: to apply to the the industrial and economic powerhouse of

420
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: the EU, which is Germany. So you know, while everyone's

421
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: running around lecturing, lecturing Trump about lecturing the NATO alliance,

422
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: the truth is, you know, Europe needs to get its

423
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: act together a little bit here on geopolitics and the

424
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: strategy that it has to counter Russia's moves here. Not

425
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: something that you know, you just don't hear the from

426
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: other people. By the way, Barroso also had some good

427
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: comments on Putin. Not people don't sit around saying, oh,

428
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: Putin's our good friend, he's our buddy. Everything's gonna be fine. No,

429
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: we understand what we are up against here with Putin.

430
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: The thing Putin's a thug. Pud's a thug. Yeah, we

431
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: know that. What do we do about it? What do

432
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: all the people chest? Something? I saw him? Was it

433
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: Donna bash? Don't call her Dana Donna Bash? Asking Vice

434
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: President Pence earlier in the week. You know, is Russia

435
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: a foe? Can you? Will you call them a foe?

436
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: It's like, no, lady, He's not gonna call Russia a foe.

437
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: The Vice President Nited States is not gonna basically say yeah,

438
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: Russia is an enemy before the president is about to

439
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: sit down with their president and have a conversation about

440
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: US Russia relations. He's not gonna do that, all right.

441
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: So as as cute as that as that game is,

442
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: by the way, she doesn't do it for Clara for

443
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: cation purposes. The reason CNN asks the VP of that

444
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: question is so when they won't call Russia and enemy,

445
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 1: everyone goes, oh my gosh, he's in Putin's pocket. Look

446
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: at this, Look at that. It's so bad. Look what

447
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: he's doing. It's just all a game to them. They're

448
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: not even serious about NATO. Are the same the same

449
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: leftists who completely recoil at the use of any US

450
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: military power that's actually in our interests. That they love it,

451
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: that they love to put our guys in some third

452
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: world hellhole where we have no national security interests. But

453
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: you know, people over there there's some kind of tribal

454
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: warfare going on or something. You know, the left loves that,

455
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: but they don't actually like the projection of US military

456
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: power as a general idea. And with NATO, they're just

457
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: pretending to care about this, right now because it's another

458
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: opportunity to get hysterical and freak out about Trump. Barossa

459
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: though on pute I mentioned this, I learned is this

460
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: the sentator Borrossa a brassa rather up rosso barosso on

461
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: Putin pliclibate. And it seems like it's more than half

462
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: of German energy is coming from Russia. NATO was established

463
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: for the right reasons in nineteen nine as a deterrence

464
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: against then the Soviet Union, with the same applies today

465
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: with Russia and Vladimir Putin is cunning, he's aggressive, who's

466
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: he's opportunistic. He will use everything he can to gain

467
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: an advantage, and when he has an opportunity to use

468
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: energy as a geopolitical weapon to gain an advantage, he

469
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: will do so. That's why I believe President Trump is

470
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: absolutely right to bring the fight as he is. I agree.

471
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, this also goes to how you

472
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: can thank conservatives and their capitalist approach for the single

473
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 1: greatest weapon deployed in the last twenty years against authoritarian

474
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: states from Russia to Saudi Arabia to Venezuela to Iran.

475
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:04,959
Speaker 1: Oh By that's right, fracking and the shale oil revolution.

476
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: In this country, which the environmentalist nut job left and

477
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: the the Democrat progressive media apparatus opposed tooth and nail

478
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: everything they had putin, would be in a much stronger,

479
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: much more aggressive place right now if we were not

480
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: the hydrocarbon superpower that we've become, and if the price

481
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: of oil per barrel had not dropped so precipitously because

482
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: of the glut in supply thanks to a bunch of

483
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: American oil companies and engineers and and oil workers who

484
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: are using the economics of the energy industry as one

485
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: of our single most important foreign policy tools. It is

486
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: is absolutely essential. Uh. And you don't hear nearly by

487
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: the Obama was opposing that he you know, not only

488
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: the Russian reset. Do you ever hear them talk about

489
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: that anymore? By the way, the Russian reset, Yeah, we

490
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: know Obama was bowing to everybody. But do you ever

491
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: hear about the Russian recent No, the answer is no,

492
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: not only here about that, but the Obama administration was

493
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: opposing shale, was opposing the very kinds of oil technologies

494
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: and the exploration that allowed by it that has put

495
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: us in this position right now. Not only are you

496
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: paying less at the pump because of it, but also

497
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: foreign dictators have less cash to throw around to fund paramilitaries,

498
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: to fund nuclear and missile technology research. Our economic advantage,

499
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: our technological advantages is everything right, it's it's it's essential

500
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: to our role in the world, and the Left is

501
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: everything they can to try and stifle that. One more

502
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: thing I just have to note here, and it goes

503
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: back to this Donna Bosh interview with Pence. Vice President Pence,

504
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: think about what we really want in Russia. It's enormous country.

505
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: It spans what seven time zones, population over a hundred

506
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: million people. It's got thousands of nuclear weapons. It is

507
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: from a land and resources, uh perspective, still something of

508
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: a superpower, right from a resources perspective, not as an economy.

509
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: It's its economy is pretty pretty weak. What do we

510
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: really want? We want modernization, liberalization and rule of law there.

511
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: We want a real political opposition, and we want people

512
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: to stop supporting Vladimir Putin. Putin has been very lucky.

513
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: You don't hear about this from other analysts because they

514
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,959
Speaker 1: don't know crap. But Putin, for all of his flaws,

515
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: has presided over the creation of a Russian Middle class,

516
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: something that did not exist before. The Russians in the

517
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: nineties after the collapse of the Soviet Union, were utterly humiliated. Humiliated. Okay,

518
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: you had guys with pH ds that were trying to

519
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: sell t shirts on the street and driving cabs literally,

520
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: that's what was going on. And with Putin and then

521
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: the privatization, which was there was massive theft and that's

522
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: how the oligarchs became billionaires. But with privatization you had

523
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: Russians who finally had cash in their pockets. And then

524
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: over time, overall there was more wealth in Russian society.

525
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: And now you'll see Russians out, you know, and if

526
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: you go to any global vacation spot, you'll see Russians

527
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: wearing fancy track shoots, track suits with you know, very

528
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: very expensive watches. And that's just you know how some

529
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: of them roll, right, the rich Russians. But we want

530
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: a situation where the Russian people say, hey, you know

531
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: Putin and his guys, they're actually a bunch of corrupt jerks.

532
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. We don't help the Russian opposition

533
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: having the press in this country pretend that Russia is

534
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: a boogeyman, that hides under every bed that the Russians

535
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: are our enemies now and forever, that Russia is an

536
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: enemy state. They want to talk I mean, you know,

537
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: clowns like Joe Scarborough saying that Trump is doing Putin's

538
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: work here. They want to talk about doing Putin's work

539
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: convincing the American people that Russia is not an opportunity

540
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: for us, that the Russian people are never going to

541
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: be friends and allies of ours. The way that European

542
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: states are is doing more to help Putent than anything

543
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: Trump has ever imagined. And that's the truth. Like I said,

544
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: you won't to hear that because they just you know,

545
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: I I'm really amazed I see this. There are so

546
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: many multi millionaire journalists out there who I just get

547
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: the feeling haven't read a book in about ten years.

548
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: It's just the truth, paid all this money, have these platforms,

549
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: don't know a damn thing. But you know, I don't

550
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: know they're they're friends with Jeff Zucker or something. I

551
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: don't know what to say. It's just it's astonishing what

552
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: goes on out there. Uh. And the ignorance that is

553
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: on display from our press corps on these issues, and

554
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: and the games they play too. They pretend to care

555
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: about NATO and US national security. Meanwhile they're doing so

556
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: much to actually undermine it. It's just just incredibly frustrating.

557
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: Eight four to eight to five, eight four four, nine

558
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: hundred buck team. I've got much more, including the the

559
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: fight against Kavanaugh. We're gonna get into that in the

560
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: second hour. So stay right there, ol man. You know,

561
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: we we have launched this uh this network hill dot TV,

562
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: and it is wild down here my friends. Just want

563
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: to take a moment to tell you all, I really

564
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: really appreciate all the support you've been give me. Launching

565
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: a a digital TV network is is quite an undertaking.

566
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: Let me let me tell you this is uh uh,

567
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, it requires a lot of long nights. I

568
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: actually have my first time where I had to bust out.

569
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: I've got a a camping pillow and a pad that

570
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: you blow up, you know, one of those things you

571
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: put on the ground when you're out camping. I had

572
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: to take a nap in the office because I put

573
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: it requires here. It's an all hands on deck scenario.

574
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: But you know we had LANDI Davis on earlier this

575
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: week for a great interview, got picked up by all

576
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: these different outlets across the country that we're talking about it. Um.

577
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: Obviously we kicked it off with the Jeff Sessions interview,

578
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: and I think we're really in a groove. And for

604
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,480

608
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh opposition that is completely unhinged. It's completely out of control,

609
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: and and I want to I want to take this

610
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: and give you there's some important um conclusions that we

611
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: need to draw from this. There are some important things

612
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: that I want you to keep in mind as we

613
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: think about just why they're so anti Kavanaugh. Why are

614
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 1: they so completely and utterly divorced from reality, from any

615
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: sense of morality. Uh, They're just they're attacking this guy

616
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: with everything they've gotten. And I really do want to

617
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: get into what I see as the meetings, the meeting

618
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: behind this and also where all that's gonna go, So

619
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: that is coming up in the second hour. Team stay

620
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: right there, listen. Do you have animals digging under your fence,

621
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: pets escaping, or predators and pests coming in? Are you

622
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: tired of trying bricks, wood or concrete. Let me tell

623
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: you about dig Defense. It's genius. It extends the protection

624
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: of your fence underground. Just installed at the base of

625
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: any fence to protect your pet and your property. A

626
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: hammer and gloves are all that is needed to install

627
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 1: dig Defense and stop that digging. No more chasing Fido

628
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: as he runs around the backyard. Chase him around the

629
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: backyard enclosed and safe. That's what you want to do.

630
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: It stop the dig now with dig Defense available online

631
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:09,560

638
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake, American,

639
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show, analysts,

640
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: no judge Kavanaugh, if he has abjuctive would be the

641
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: swing boat in deciding whether he can pardon himself get

642
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: out of jail free path. Amazingly, he said the court

643
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: should consider a constitutional challenge to the health care law,

644
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: the Affordable Care Act, and openly criticized the Supreme Court

645
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act. This is about

646
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: replacing the authority of government, putting the government's authority ahead

647
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: of the authority of a woman to make a decision

648
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: about her own body and her future. They don't have

649
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 1: a single line of attack against Kavanaugh. They really don't.

650
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: They don't know what they're gonna do. The don't know

651
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: what they're gonna say other than just oh my gosh,

652
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: she's hitler. They got nothing. And I've realized something I've

653
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: been telling you for some time that I believe that

654
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: liberalism has entered a phase where it is a mass delusion.

655
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: That we've entered her a realm where liberals are engaged

656
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: in a a true disassociation from reality, a hysteria. And

657
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: what I'm realizing now is also they have a compulsion.

658
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: Notice how you're hearing a lot of stuff about how

659
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh is bad, but he's really bad because of Trump.

660
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: And not only is Kavanaugh bad because of Trump, he's

661
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: bad because Trump may need Kavanaugh because of the Russia

662
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: collusion investigation, to save him from criminal jeopardy. Everything somehow

663
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: on the political left turns into a a screed about

664
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Everything on the political left is somehow tied

665
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 1: to the notion that Donald Trump is the worst human

666
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: being ever. He's coming, He's oken so many They really

667
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: take the position that Trump has broken so many laws

668
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: that they can't even name one because they're overwhelmed by

669
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 1: all the laws. It's really the most intellectually dishonest framing

670
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: of an issue I've I've ever seen, I could I

671
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: could ever imagine. But this is where we are now. Uh,

672
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 1: this is in fact what we see from them. Here's

673
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: a guy named uh varad Met. How he writes what

674
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: Capital's edition to the Supreme Court would mean for environmental

675
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: law is that all the fantasy climate change suits the

676
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: environl loons are pushing, like the Children's Entrustment suit will

677
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: die if they ever make it discotis. Yeah, that's right.

678
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: You see, Liberals were able to get away with a

679
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: lot of their fantasy land nonsense for a long time.

680
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: And now they realize that, you know, the gravy train

681
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: is coming to an end. You might actually have to

682
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: get the American people to agree with you, um and

683
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: and you might have to get things passed through the legislature.

684
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: And then oh, by the way, they can be changed

685
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: when things go back. See. One of the things that

686
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: that I think often gets overlooked here, very very important

687
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: is that for liberals, Supreme Court judgments that go their

688
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: way are better than laws. They're better than laws because

689
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: laws can be repealed, loss can be easily overturned. Right

690
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: there there. They have not yet made the argument, well

691
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: not openly at least, But the left is not yet

692
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: made the argument that, well, what one Congress does, another

693
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: congress cannot undo. But they do make the argument that

694
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: what the Supreme Court gives the left once can never

695
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: be taken away. So they view this like whenever they

696
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 1: get a a by judicial fiat from a Supreme court,

697
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: whenever the progressives, the Democra that party has some you know,

698
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: major win, they can they can count on that that's

699
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: in the bank for them forever. That moves the political

700
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: and cultural trajectory of the United States in their direction irrevocably.

701
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: So it's not only and this this really came to

702
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: me last night. It's not only that they can't get

703
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: some of these things that they wouldn't be able to

704
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: get nationwide abortion, nationwide same sex marriage, nationally. A lot

705
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: of this stuff has been or you know, pretending affirmative

706
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: action is constitution, all these things that are that are

707
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: national level, top down policy from the Supreme Court. It's

708
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: not just that they don't have to go through the legislature,

709
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: which they are very happy about. It's that, on top

710
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: of that, they feel like it is always and forever

711
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: going to be that way. Clearly that's the case with

712
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade. I mean, the way that the American

713
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: left speaks about Row the Wade right now is with

714
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: a great deal more reverence than they speak about the

715
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: actual constitution of the United States, because you're seeing a

716
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: lot of ah, gosh, should we really have lifetime appointments

717
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: for Supreme Court justices? Is oh gosh, you know, did

718
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: people really know stuff in seventeen seventy six that that

719
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: should affect us today. You know, they they will question

720
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: and I am you know, I'm not exaggerating this is

721
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: this is true. Liberals will question the importance and the

722
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 1: wisdom of the Supreme Courts, I mean of the Constitution.

723
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: But Roe v. Wade is sacred. Roe v. Wade is

724
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 1: the closest thing the Left has to a sacred text,

725
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 1: and the fact that it has led to a demonic

726
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: outcome that has killed millions and millions and millions of

727
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: tiny babies is a truth that I don't think that

728
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: the progressive left can ever allow itself to face up to.

729
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: Another part of this as well. It's not just that

730
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: they think that their Supreme Court handed down victories are forever.

731
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: There's also that part in the back of liberals minds

732
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: that tells them whether they benefited from a from action

733
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: and they know it, or they chose to have an

734
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,479
Speaker 1: abortion and they know it, or any number of things

735
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: that are that could in fact be that could in

736
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: fact be reversed by a court with Kavanaugh on it.

737
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: I think it's hard for some liberals to think of

738
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: a future in which they don't have the ability to

739
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: point at the Supreme Court and say they told me

740
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: it's okay. They told me it's just They tell me

741
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: still to this day, that I have a right to

742
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: do it. I have a right to do what I

743
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: did without that cover, without that veneer of you know,

744
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: nine really five most of the time. Although in the

745
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: case of Row seven, judges wearing robes pretending that what

746
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: millions of Americans have done or have benefited from is

747
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: right and ethical and moral, I think many people are

748
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: going to have some, let's just say self doubt going forward.

749
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: There is a massive psychological component. Two, the Supreme courtinates

750
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: decisions for the liberal left. I have a code that

751
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: I live by. You don't you do as well. I

752
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: don't really care what the Supreme Court says except as

753
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 1: an effects policy. But for a lot of the left,

754
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: and particularly on the issue of abortion, they look to

755
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court as the ultimate sanction or their behavior.

756
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: And if that were to go away, not only would

757
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: it affect future behavior, I think it would affect the

758
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: way people look at their own actions in the past,

759
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,720
Speaker 1: and that would be a very difficult thing or millions

760
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: of our fellow Americans to handle. We've gottahit a quick

761
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: break here. I got more on this Kavanaugh opposition, which

762
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: is insane. So stay with me. I'm a coffee drinker.

763
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: It's honestly something I need to get through my day.

764
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 1: But I don't want you to ever have the feeling

00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: and Kavanaugh was danger will resonate with many groups. Women's freedom,

783
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: health freedom, and healthcare would resonate. And because Kavanaugh is

784
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: so extreme on the issue of presidential power to the

785
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: time when we have a president who has overreached more

786
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: than any president in history, the third one resonates too.

787
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: I wonder if Chuck Schumer ever gets tired of lying.

788
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: I don't mean that he would ever stop lying, but

789
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean if he actually gets fatigued by the mental

790
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: process of telling so many lies, of making so much

791
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: stuff up. First of all, how is Trump just with

792
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: that last part of what he said? Someone tell me

793
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: how Trump has overreached more than any presidents in history? Uh?

794
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: Is Trump putting people in internment camps the way that

795
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: FDR did? No, didn't happen? Is he locking up his

796
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: political opponents, including journalists, the way that Woodrow Wilson did? No, No, No,

797
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we we don't even have to go earlier

798
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: than the twenty century to find presidents who were overreaching

799
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: in ways that are just not even the same stratosphere,

800
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: not not even in the same supercluster as what Trump

801
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 1: is doing. Because Trump isn't doing anything wrong. What is

802
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: the overreach? The Supreme Court just came out and said, yeah,

803
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: his travel ban totally fine. So how is it overreach?

804
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: Where is the overreach? Isn't it quite a an incredible

805
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: twisting of logic, reality and the law. When enforcing immigration law,

806
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 1: for example, is considered to be overreached, when enforcing immigration

807
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: law is radical. I thought the law was something that

808
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: we were all bound by, and it had meaning, and

809
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: it was something that we were supposed to support. I

810
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: thought that the law was actually a necessary component of

811
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 1: a free society. But they're so desperate with this Kavanaugh situation,

812
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: they really are, that they're embarrassing themselves. And and this

813
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: is not like anything else that we've seen on the

814
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: on the legal front, for sure, this is not like

815
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: anything else that I can point to and and say

816
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: that there have been similarities here before. Um, you know

817
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: this is Oh, this is great, by the way, So

818
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: Emily Peck, this is a perfect example. I mean, the

819
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 1: self ownage that you're getting from journalists to borrow term

820
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: from the left here when they when they own themselves

821
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: so to speak, uh is unparalleled with anything else I

822
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: can think of. Emily Peck who is a journalist for

823
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: I think Slate, but I don't know who cares, but

824
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: she's somebody who wrote she she has one headline here

825
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 1: from playing up Brett Kavanaugh as a good dad to

826
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: girls is shameless subheading. Trump Supreme Court pick will likely

827
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: play a key role in gutting reproductive rights, no matter

828
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: how many girls basketball games he coaches. And then with

829
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: Obama a year and change ago, the same author rights

830
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: men really do get less sexist when they have daughters.

831
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: A new study offers the most compelling evidence yet of

832
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: the daughter effect. And who is the big photo of

833
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: with his daughter? Barack? Who's sane? Obama? Now? Do we

834
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 1: think that Emily Peck I've I've never heard of before

835
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: and it's clearly a hack. Do we think that she

836
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: doesn't care that we can google this? Does she think

837
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: that it? Does it not matter that she has no uh,

838
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, absolutely no honesty in her writing and her

839
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: thinking and her reporting. I just want to know. I'm

840
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: just wondering. But we're seeing so much of this. I

841
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: don't know. Do do we have that Colbert SoundBite if

842
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: you guys could grab it, I mean, you know what,

843
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: it's not even worth It's not even more grabbing forget it.

844
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: Colbert on his show said, I don't know much about Kavanaugh,

845
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: but his first name sounds more like a waiter at

846
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 1: Ruby Tuesday. Is that is that the best they can do?

847
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: Is that supposed to be a joke. His name is Brett,

848
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: and Colbert is making fun of the name Brett. I mean,

849
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: if his name was Bark, I could understand. His name

850
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: is Brett? Is the name Stephen Funny? I know you're

851
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: probably sitting there scratching your head, like, are they Are

852
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: they such complete idiots? Are they really incapable of understanding

853
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: how foolish they sound? Um? I don't I don't have it.

854
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't really have all the answers here anymore. That

855
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: this is we are in un unexplored and inexplicable territory.

856
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: Uh and And I just think that the the opposition

857
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: to Kavanaugh is a level of hysteria and lunacy that

858
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: is is troubling no matter what happens here, because they're

859
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: not even trying to make good faith arguments. They're not

860
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: they're not even trying to convince us that they have

861
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: anything to say about this that's worthwhile. They're just completely

862
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: off the rails, and I just wonder, you know what

863
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: it is gonna take for them to understand that they're

864
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: we will remember this, we will remember this. Um ah man,

865
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. We're in a We're in kind of

866
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 1: a crazy place right now, we really are. This is this,

867
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: this opposition to Kavanaugh that's coming from people because there's

868
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: nothing they can sink their teeth into. You know, I

869
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: was a Barrett person. Originally I was somebody who is like,

870
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: you know what, Barrett is a great pick, and I

871
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: really like it. But now I'm thinking it's actually better

872
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: that it's Kavanaugh because he's so squeaky clean, he's so

873
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: smart and so perfect for the court. And they will

874
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: do they will say anything about him anyway, And what

875
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: is this. In an unusual move, Rosenstein asks federal prosecutors

876
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: to review Kavanaugh documents. I just saw this break and saying.

877
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has asked prosecutors to help

878
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice review Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's

879
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: government documents. According to report in The New York Times

880
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: that notes the request is an unusual injection of politics

881
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: in the law enforcement duties of the Department Rosenstein made

882
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: the request in an email sent to the nation's U

883
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: S attorneys. In it, Rosenstein asks each office to provide

884
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: up to three federal prosecutors who can make this important

885
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: project a priority for the next several weeks. Huh. Asking

886
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: U S attorneys to do this is indeed seen as unusual. Um, guys,

887
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 1: I don't trust Rosenstein at all. I think there's I

888
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: think there's a big problem here, and I thought that

889
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 1: for quite a while. But this this stuff, you're seeing

890
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: the unhinged nature of the opposition to Kavanaugh. I mean,

891
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: they're they're upset because somebody wrote a piece about how

892
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh is a nice car pool dad and a nice guy.

893
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: And you know, we we can see they do this

894
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 1: all the time. They do this all the time for

895
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: different but when when it's for a liberal justice, it's fine. Uh.

896
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: CBS News writing here, Friends like former law clerk Alison

897
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: Barkoff say that Soda Mayor has a big, engaging New

898
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: York personality. Yeah, she's fun, she works hard and plays hard,

899
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: Barkoff said. Melissa Murray clerk for two federal judges, including

900
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: sodomai Or, and when both judges came to Melissa's wedding,

901
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: So do major challenge the other judges to a dance off?

902
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 1: Ha ha ha. Look, I'm fine with these pieces to

903
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 1: talk about the human being that's gonna be sitting on

904
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. I get it, right, That's that's okay.

905
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: But I'm not fine with people freaking out because Kavanaugh

906
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: is being treated like a human being too. We have

907
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: we have a problem. We have a a country where

908
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: a good twenty five or so, about a quarter of

909
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: this nation has completely lost its mind. And they watch

910
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: MSNBC and they think CNN is honest news, and they

911
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: believe that their standards aren't constantly shifting with the wind somehow.

912
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: I I don't know what else to say. The opposite

913
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: of the Kavan although is truly and utterly insane. It is.

914
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: It is insane. And it's just if we're not even

915
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: in the in the hearings phase yet, right, Uh, they're

916
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: not even the hearing s phase. This is just gonna

917
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: get nuttier and nuttier as we go forward. So we'll see.

918
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, the truth is, at the end of the day,

919
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: they just they got nowhere to go with this Kavanaugh hate.

920
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: He's too good, he's too good for the left. But

921
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: they'll be lucky enough to live in a country where

922
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: he sits on the Supreme Court. He's back with you now,

923
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: because when it comes to the fight for truth, the

924
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: fuck never stops. I've been telling you all for a

925
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: while that elite universities in this country are overrated, wildly overrated,

926
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: that they don't represent what they pretend to, that they're

927
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: churning out a lot of self entitled babies, weren't nearly

928
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 1: as smart as they think they are. And look, I mean,

929
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: for those of you I've gotten a few of you

930
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: said emails local book what Amorus is considered the umber

931
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: one or number two best liberal arts college in the country.

932
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: It's where I went. And everything that I'm saying about

933
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:08,479
Speaker 1: these other schools is applicable to AMers as well. Okay,

934
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: so I'm not like picking on other This isn't a

935
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: rivalry thing, although with Cornell and Brown I do have

936
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: special ire. But in general and the U S News

937
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: and Rules Reports study, I said that that's about college

938
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: is not universities, right, So generally in the u S

939
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: News and Ruled Report, the number one university is Harvard,

940
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: Number two is you know m I T. Three is Yale,

941
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: or something like that. And then with colleges it's usually Amerst.

942
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: Williams Haverford. I'm here to tell you all those rankings.

943
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: And and this this obsession with academic elitism is reallyant

944
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: turning into a joke. These schools are turning out, are

945
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: are churning out a lot of people who are not

946
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: very smart, not very impressive, haven't learned very much. What

947
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: they have is some means of via the system getting

948
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: into these places which are overwhelmingly not hard to stay

949
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:58,959
Speaker 1: in and are not training people for the real world.

950
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: And this is a problem, and they're the indoctrination that

951
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: goes on. To me, the ideological polarization that's occurring and

952
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: on the most elite campuses in the country is is

953
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: bad news, folks, because because all these little social justice

954
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: warriors that are you know, coming out of Stanford and

955
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 1: Duke and Harvard and Yale and all these places. Now

956
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: they are going to use that credential to try and

957
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: be in a position in a matter of you know, decades,

958
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 1: maybe just a matter of years were they're telling you

959
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: what to do with your life and trying to tell

960
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: the rest of us they know better. Because Lily went

961
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 1: to whatever right, although you don't you want to know

962
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: why people get into schools these days, They get into

963
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: school because of legacy admission. That's true. That's a real thing.

964
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: Although if you look at and this is what no

965
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 1: one ever likes to talk about, I know, the admission

966
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: thing backwards and forward, so people rarely like to debate

967
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: it with me. But if they ever want to give

968
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: it a shot, legacy admissions are generally within the round,

969
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: with within the realm of of all or within the

970
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: average of all admitted students, meaning that you generally not

971
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: you don't have people to get in a legacy who

972
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: have much lower sets, are much lower grades. They're in

973
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: the same range, and the legacy thing is what puts

974
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: them above. That is not true of two other categories,

975
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: diversity and athletics. Uh. With diversity, I mean with the

976
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: athletics thing. Depending on the school, you can get people

977
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: that are way below the academic average who are especially

978
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: for the big sports, so football, basketball, uh, some schools

979
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: ice hockey, you know, but way below the academic average.

980
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 1: They get in because of their an athletic admit and

981
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: infects some places that aren't even d one schools have

982
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,439
Speaker 1: spots set aside and the coach basically gets to pick

983
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: people and just bring them in as long as they

984
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: have bare minimum requirements. And then with diversity, where when

985
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: you look at and this is why Harvard so up

986
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: in arms right now, and they don't want to share

987
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 1: their internal information because what you'll see is that preferred

988
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: minorities are way below the average on s a t

989
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 1: S and AIDS for the rest of their class. And

990
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: the preferred minorities are basically everybody who is not white

991
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: or Asian or kind of Eastern European or Middle Eastern

992
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: or or South Asian, you know, so East Asian, South

993
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 1: Asian not preferred. Um, it's if you are Native American, Hispanic,

994
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: African American, you know, Latino Pacific islander, or just an

995
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: international student. You although it's different from the national students

996
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: with the s a t S, but those are the

997
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: those are the special admits, and so people are getting

998
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: in for reasons that have nothing to do with being

999
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: so hard working, being so smart. There's just all this

1000
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 1: different stuff that goes into it. Okay, I'm telling you

1001
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: all of this because I think it's necessary to background

1002
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: to understand how Yale Law School could have an open

1003
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 1: letter from tons of It's Ye Law School is very

1004
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: very small. It's it's in the it's it's like a

1005
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: couple of hundred, a few hundred of class. So this

1006
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: isn't isn't even just underground. This is Yale Law School,

1007
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 1: which is where Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court nominee, went

1008
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: to school, and it is considered the most elite law

1009
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: school in the country. And here we have Yale Law

1010
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: School students who have written an open letter regarding Brett Kavanaugh.

1011
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: I want to read this to you so that you

1012
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: understand just what we're up against, because all these kids

1013
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: and these alumni from Yale are gonna say, look at me,

1014
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: I went to Ye Law School. I'm so smart. I'm

1015
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 1: so smart. A lot of them are not nearly as

1016
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: antellection as impressive as they think they are. Many of

1017
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: them aren't impressive at all, and they have a serious

1018
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: case of Trump's arrangement syndrome going on. Here. Well, I'm

1019
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna read you this is not in I'm not gonna

1020
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: read the whole thing because it will take the entire

1021
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: segment of the entire hour practically, but I'll read you

1022
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: some very important segments from this just to show you

1023
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: that apparently they don't teach the law at Yale Law really,

1024
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: or they don't teach critical reasoning and sound thinking, that's

1025
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 1: for sure. Here's what they write two Dean Gherkin and

1026
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: the Yale Law School leadership. We write today blah blah

1027
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: blah about Judge Kavanaugh's intellect, influence and mentorship of students. Uh.

1028
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh's nomination presents an emergency for democratic life, for

1029
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: our safety and freedom, for the future of our country.

1030
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: His nomination is not an interesting intellectual exercise to be

1031
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: debated among classmates and scholars in seminar. Support for Kavanaugh

1032
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: is not a political It is a political choice about

1033
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: the meaning of the Constitution and our vision of democracy,

1034
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: a choice with real consequences for real people. Without a doubt,

1035
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh is a threat to the most vulnerable. He

1036
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: is a threat to many of us, despite the privilege

1037
01:04:56,040 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: bestowed by our education, simply because of who we all are.

1038
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: We just stopped for a second there. Kavanaugh is a

1039
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 1: threat to them. Are these people children? These are law

1040
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: students there at least in their mid to late twenties,

1041
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,439
Speaker 1: right the most elite law school in the country. He's

1042
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: a threat to them. This is what they write. These

1043
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: are the people, by the way that you know during

1044
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: the next Democrat administration. And it's like World Show and

1045
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 1: so went to Yale Law School and you're supposed to say,

1046
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: oh wow, it must be really smart. There's not. They're

1047
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: just not. Let me go with a little bit more here,

1048
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh would act as a rubber stamp for President

1049
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: Trump's fraud and abuse. Despite working with Independent Council Ken

1050
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: Start to prosecute Bill Clinton, Kavanaugh has called upon Congress

1051
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: to exempt sitting presidents from civil suits. He has also

1052
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 1: noted a serious constitutional question exists with regarding whether a

1053
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: president can be criminally indicted. This reversal does not reflect

1054
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 1: high mining consideration, but rather naked partisanship at a time

1055
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: when the president and his associates are under investigation for

1056
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: various crimes. Blah blah. This is all the same thing, folks.

1057
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: These these kids are a bunch of These kids are

1058
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of clowns. And these this alumni. And this

1059
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: is what I've been telling you though, it's very important

1060
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: what you see at the undergrad level on these campuses,

1061
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: whether they're all you know, whose streets are streets Atifa,

1062
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, all that stuff. What you see happening on

1063
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: these college campuses has now extended into the law schools too.

1064
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: The law schools have become little laboratories of progressivism as well.

1065
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 1: And if you want to get good grades, if you

1066
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: want to get uh, certain kinds of jobs, you know,

1067
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: elite positions, you need to be in good standing with

1068
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: that law school community, which means you need to talk

1069
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: to talk about diversity and about social justice and all

1070
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: this stuff. These are these are all really increasingly becoming

1071
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: code words for power in the hands of the left,

1072
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: the eradication of actual merits and excellence and its replacement

1073
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: with rule by the mob up oh, colocracy, rule by

1074
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, the rabble on the street, whoever happens to

1075
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: have power at any given moment. They closed this this letter,

1076
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: which is full of just sheer idiocy. Kavanaugh is the

1077
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 1: gold standard, folks. This is what this is why it's

1078
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: so important to look at this. There there's no high

1079
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: minded arguments to be made here. There's nothing that they

1080
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: can say that will change this. Kavanaughs the gold standard

1081
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: of what you can get as as a Supreme Court justice.

1082
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: And anything to the contrary, anything else that they're saying

1083
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: is complete and utter nonsense. Okay, Kavanaugh was actually hired

1084
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: by Justice Kagan, who sits on the Supreme Court. Okay,

1085
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: This is a quote from the Boston Globe. When Elana

1086
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: Kagan was dean of Harvard Law School, she was in

1087
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: search of rising conservative legal stars. They're traditionally liberal campus

1088
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: could use a little ideological diversity, she thought, with more

1089
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: robust debate and the challenge of different viewpoints. Among Kagan's

1090
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: hires as a visiting professor was a newly appointed Federal

1091
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: Appeals Court judge from Washington named Brett Kavanaugh. Not only

1092
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: did Kavana go to Yale undergrad annual law school, not

1093
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 1: only did he clerk for Justice Kennedy, whom he is replacing,

1094
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: but a sitting leftist Supreme Court Justice. Elana Kagan hired

1095
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: him specifically because of his intellect, his pedigree, his honesty.

1096
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: This is a slam dunk. This is a slam dunk.

1097
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: And all you see are liberals saying there's no there's

1098
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 1: no hoop, there's no net. Oh no, I just saw

1099
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 1: him dunk. Gres. Nope, there's no hoop, there's no net.

1100
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 1: They are denying the obvious reality. It is pathetic, but

1101
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 1: it's also scary because what you see in this Yale

1102
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: Law open letter about how Kavanaugh is a threat to them,

1103
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: that that is their verbians, that their word a threat

1104
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 1: to them. What you see is the truth of the

1105
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: modern progressive position, which is not that conservatism and constitutionalism

1106
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: are an alternative viewpoint or even just a different way

1107
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: of thinking. It is increasingly clear, and I really want

1108
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 1: you to listen to this, and I want you to

1109
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: remember it because it is critical. It's critical for the

1110
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,879
Speaker 1: future of this country. It's critical for your own debates

1111
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: with people on this issue, and it's critical also to

1112
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: keep you safe on the streets these days, depending on

1113
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 1: what parts of the country you are in. Progressivism has

1114
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:35,520
Speaker 1: seeped into this other realm where they no longer oppose

1115
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 1: you on the battlefield of ideas, but they seek to

1116
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:46,600
Speaker 1: make your ideas unacceptable entirely in the public square. And

1117
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: the way they do that is by saying that you

1118
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:53,480
Speaker 1: are in fact a threat, that your ideas are tantamount

1119
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 1: to violence. And you know how I break this down

1120
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: and how I reason through this. What is a legitimate

1121
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: response to something that people believe is effectively the same

1122
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:12,839
Speaker 1: thing as violence. You know the answer. It is violence.

1123
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: That's where we are heading. If they don't stop, if

1124
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: someone does not wake them up, if they do not

1125
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: get a dose of reality, calm down, stop lying, stop

1126
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 1: the hyperbole, stop the psychosis about TROMP and fascism and

1127
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: all of this. We are heading for a very dangerous place.

1128
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: That the most elite law school in the country could

1129
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: have so many students produce such a buffoonish, childish and

1130
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:48,640
Speaker 1: stupid letter is a very disconcerting sign of where we

1131
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: are heading. And I think we would be remiss if

1132
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 1: we did not pay some did not pay much closer

1133
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: attention to what's going on with us. I mean this, folks,

1134
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 1: this could be a very big problem. I'm telling you

1135
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 1: I have never been going on radio before saying this,

1136
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 1: but this is going to get ugly. This is going

1137
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,879
Speaker 1: to spiral out of control. They cannot be reasoned with anymore.

1138
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: They don't want to convince you, they don't even just

1139
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: want to mock you. They are trying to seize the

1140
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 1: moral high ground by telling each other, by brainwashing each

1141
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 1: other into thinking your ideas are a threat to them.

1142
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 1: What do people do in response to a threat? Generally

1143
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 1: not write a strongly worded letter or tweet. We've got

1144
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: a lot more stay with me. It does appear that

1145
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: Lisa Page apparently has something to hide. Uh. She has

1146
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 1: been in complete defiance of cooperation with the House Judiciary

1147
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 1: Committee and the Oversight and Government of Committee for seven

1148
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: months now. There have been two subsequent letters and two

1149
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 1: subpoenas issued for her appearance, and she has defied all

1150
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 1: of that. This subpoena is still in effect. I think

1151
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 1: it's very important for her to understand that, and she

1152
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 1: should comply with it, and she should comply with it

1153
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,679
Speaker 1: now before she's held in contempt of Congress, which could

1154
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: happen as soon as Friday. You know, you'd think a

1155
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:30,679
Speaker 1: former FBI agent or current I'm sorry, current FBI agent,

1156
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 1: you think that maybe she would understand that that a

1157
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:40,560
Speaker 1: subpoena is not a suggestion A A subpoena is not

1158
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: something that you get to just say, you know what,

1159
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't feel like doing that today. And yet we

1160
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: see once again this double set of laws here where

1161
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:57,200
Speaker 1: on the one side, if you were to not go

1162
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 1: along with a subpoena, if you were to skip and

1163
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: just decide that you know, you didn't really care about

1164
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 1: something like this, you would probably have a warn out

1165
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:09,719
Speaker 1: for your arrest. But here you go with anti Trump

1166
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: FBI lawyer Lisa Page deciding she can defy a congressional

1167
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: subpoena because you know, she hasn't had the time to

1168
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 1: review the documents. How hard is this? She's an FBI lawyer, folks, Well,

1169
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,959
Speaker 1: what does she think they're gonna ask her? She's stalling,

1170
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:27,560
Speaker 1: She is trying to find a way out of this.

1171
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, I don't like when people play

1172
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 1: the game about you know, oh well they're pleading the

1173
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: fifth they might have they have something to hide. Okay,

1174
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:38,640
Speaker 1: in this case, it does sort of feel like she

1175
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 1: has something to hide because she's not even if why

1176
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: can't you show up and plead the fifth She won't

1177
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 1: do that, probably because she knows how bad that would look.

1178
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 1: But so instead of doing that, she's claiming that she

1179
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:54,560
Speaker 1: needs more time to uh look over these documents. She

1180
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 1: she refused to attend the House judiciaryan Oversight committee UH

1181
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 1: hearing today, and she's got into a Friday or she'll

1182
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: be held in contempt. Look, they the FBI has tried

1183
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: so hard to cover for We've been seeing this time

1184
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 1: and again. They tried to cover for Page and Struck,

1185
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: and I just have to keep throwing in there. Struck

1186
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: was an FBI counterintelligence senior officer, that he would be

1187
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: writing the stuff that he wrote on his work device.

1188
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 1: I was an NYPD Intelligence Division specialist. It was essentially

1189
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: a civilian contractor working counter chairs and I never would

1190
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 1: have been writing the kind of stuff this guy was writing.

1191
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 1: All my work device. Everything is every it's part of discovery.

1192
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: I'm working for law enforcement organization. It's searchable. And people

1193
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 1: would say, well, oh, but you know, he can't be

1194
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,600
Speaker 1: that this page and Page is a lawyer. All she

1195
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:53,560
Speaker 1: does is look through this stuff. They can't be that

1196
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: stupid buck Well, I see you. It's not stupidity, it's hubris.

1197
01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: It's hubris. Just like Hillary with the email. It's not

1198
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: that they forgot that they could get caught. It's that

1199
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 1: they assumed they would never get caught, and if they did,

1200
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: it wouldn't matter because they have a different set of rules.

1201
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: That is at the heart of so much of what

1202
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: we've seen with d o J, with FBI, with this

1203
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 1: whole uh effort, this deep state, police state effort to

1204
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: stop the Trump presidency, to undermine the Trump presidency once

1205
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: it was actually happening. And I think people have realized

1206
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 1: that this is just far too much and we want answers.

1207
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: And if they hold her in contempt, I think they

1208
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 1: can send the sergeant sergeant at arms of the Congress.

1209
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 1: I think there is a process where they can arrest her.

1210
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: I say, arrest her now, teach her a lesson. She's

1211
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 1: had plenty of people arrested for a lot less I

1212
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 1: can promise you that it's time. DJ has to play

1213
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 1: by the rules too. And the FBI buckets decoding the

1214
01:15:54,920 --> 01:16:01,799
Speaker 1: news and disseminating information, who is actionable intelligence, make no mistakes,

1215
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 1: are great American Again, this is the buck Sexton Show.

1216
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: No welcome back everybody. As you know, I work for

1217
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 1: the Hill and do this show called Rising, which you

1218
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,680
Speaker 1: can see at Hill dot tv slash Rising. We had

1219
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: a great paneled, a lot of fun, but we also

1220
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 1: have access to some fantastic reporters, some great commentary people,

1221
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 1: and a media reporter in particular comes to mind, the

1222
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 1: one and only Joe Kanscho. Folks. Not only is he

1223
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 1: joining us here on the buck Sexton Show, he is

1224
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:46,360
Speaker 1: in studio in the d C Freedom Hunt Swamp Studio,

1225
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:48,679
Speaker 1: which is exciting, Joe, welcome. Is that what this place

1226
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,640
Speaker 1: is called the Freedom Hunt Swamp Studio pretty much to

1227
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 1: to differentiate it from the New York Studio, which I

1228
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: tell people the politics and New York are bad, but

1229
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: at least everybody if there is kind of a capitalist,

1230
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: whereas here they're all just leeches off of the taxpair.

1231
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 1: Well let's let's let's talk about capitalism just for a moment,

01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,200
Speaker 1: just just in the side. Guys, I come in today

Speaker 1: Rifle Coffee Company, and it is incredible. I'm gonna be

1237
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: awake for days now. I tell you, guys this. I

1238
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: didn't tell him to say this. I did give him

1239
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:25,640
Speaker 1: the Black Rifle and now he's a Now he's a devotee,

1240
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:27,799
Speaker 1: if you will, so much better than that comic coffee

1241
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: that they keep up as strongest clubber Lang man, this

1242
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 1: is some good stuff. That's what I'm talking about. So so, Joe,

1243
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: I want you to by the way, club er Lang,

1244
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: this also was not planning folks, you will think it

1245
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: is is the name of producer Mike the EP of

1246
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 1: this radio show in New York. His dog is named

1247
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 1: clubber Lang named four clever movie Ted right, then the

1248
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: bear want to name himself Ted Clever Lang something right? Yeah,

1249
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 1: if he worked it in there. But Joe actually knows

1250
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:55,719
Speaker 1: more pop culture than I do. He's also ageless, folks,

1251
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: so I don't know he could tell me he's twenty

1252
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: five to sixty five. I have no idea how old

1253
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 1: Joe Consche is, so his pop culture references can come

1254
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:03,680
Speaker 1: from anywhere. I don't know what I'm dealing with. Here

1255
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: is Rocky three, by the way, there you go. That's

1256
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: my talent. You can ask me any movie. They'll tell

1257
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: you the year, as long as the movies after. Let's

1258
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: just do that once for your audience and the well,

1259
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 1: we'll go. Just give me a movie, give you a movie.

1260
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,719
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I love this game, all right? Um Predator.

1261
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: Predator was obviously Schwarzenegger, and Apollo Creed was in that

1262
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: as well, And Predator was nineteen eighty six. Yes, you,

1263
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: you son of a gun. I cannot believe you pulled

1264
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 1: that off on the fly. I would probably think I

1265
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 1: was good. No, I'm odd. Guys. I'm here in studio

1266
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: watching him and he had no Google in the hand. Wow,

1267
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: I'm impressed. Actually, thank you. It's scary because you know,

1268
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 1: we do action movie quote Friday on this show where

1269
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:45,640
Speaker 1: people call in and just quote an action movie to

1270
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 1: me and I just name it on the fly. Really yeah,

1271
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I'm a twelfth degree black belt

1272
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 1: in action movie quotes. Can we play that once? Just

1273
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 1: give me a quote and I'll see if I can

1274
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: name it. You want to do that right now? Right now? Um,

1275
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: we're totally off on a tangent. So okay, hold on

1276
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 1: a second, Uh, come out to the coast, have a

1277
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 1: few left. It's obviously John McClain is the first time. Okay, okay, guys,

1278
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:09,640
Speaker 1: we got another player in the mix here. This is

1279
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: gonna be a recurring thing here. I'm gonna bring savor

1280
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 1: the flavor because next time it's gonna get a little tougher. Buddy.

1281
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: But I do need you because you are Joe Concha

1282
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 1: of the The Hill and you and you do the

1283
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: media stuff. I'm a big Shannon Breen fan. I'm open

1284
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:25,759
Speaker 1: about this. I think Shannon is one of the nicest

1285
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:28,759
Speaker 1: people period and also one of the best broadcasters period,

1286
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 1: and not just because she has me on her show.

1287
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 1: Sometimes I thought that even before I had ever even

1288
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 1: ever even been on her show. But she was down

1289
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 1: at the Supreme Court. Yeah, it's one of these things

1290
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 1: not controversial because everybody who knows anything says it. She

1291
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 1: was down at the Supreme Court. Said she felt like

1292
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 1: it was unsafe for her voluble mood, and she felt threatened.

1293
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 1: She said, I've I've never felt threatened in the field

1294
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: like this before. And this isn't like a Jim Acosta

1295
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 1: who likes to draw attention to herself like oh, I'm

1296
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 1: the victim, you know, or or she she rarely makes

1297
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 1: herself the story. She does a very good job at

1298
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: a show called buck Hole the Fox News at night.

1299
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: I've been on it. It's at eleven o'clock. Uh, and

1300
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 1: she she acts like an anchor and doesn't inject her

1301
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: opinions into everything, which is refreshing. That's how things used

1302
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,600
Speaker 1: to be. She asked questions her guests give answers, and

1303
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 1: audiences can decide what what they feel about those answers,

1304
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 1: and that it's it's almost an antiquated model compared to

1305
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:21,560
Speaker 1: everything we see in broadcasting these days, and uh, she

1306
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:23,759
Speaker 1: was actually mocked. I don't know if it was mocked.

1307
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I quite a how i'd put it.

1308
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: But after she said she felt threatened front of Supreme Court,

1309
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: Terry Moran of ABC News, a veteran has been around

1310
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: for a while, said, you know, I didn't feel threatened everything.

1311
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there are some protesters there, but I don't

1312
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: think that's really the way things were. It's like, wait

1313
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 1: a minute, man, Ay, she wouldn't have left unless she

1314
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 1: felt unless she felt threatened, and b you don't say

1315
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 1: those things publicly. I don't think and see when you're

1316
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 1: the ABC News reporter. This is the biggest point I

1317
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: think by the way it's I was building up to it.

1318
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 1: You're the benign kind of unknown guy. I know it's broadcast,

1319
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: but things are different now. It's not like Fox. Fox

1320
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 1: to liberals is like what CNN is the conservatives. It's

1321
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 1: it's a polarizing network to a certain part of the population.

1322
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:11,560
Speaker 1: And of course the Fox person, regardless of who it is,

1323
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: is gonna get a lot of the grief, while the

1324
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:16,840
Speaker 1: ABC guy is gonna be ignored because it's ABC. Yeah,

1325
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 1: well you've seen this before. I I think Haraldo, who

1326
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 1: probably goes out with Neon, signs wearing Fox on him

1327
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 1: because he likes it when the crowd. Yeah, he likes

1328
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: it when the crowds agree with Fox News. He's like,

1329
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:27,639
Speaker 1: you want a piece for all those A boxer back

1330
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 1: that did it, by the way, I bet that's you

1331
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: can handle himself. He fought Frank stallone on the Howard

1332
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: Stern Show. Ones. Yeah, you cand YouTube that sometime. It's

1333
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 1: it's bizarre. But yeah, he's always in shape. When I

1334
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: see him at Fox. He actually bikes to work, which

1335
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 1: is kind of cool because I think he lives in Jersey,

1336
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:43,040
Speaker 1: so that's pretty impressive. And he's sixty eight Heraldo, and

1337
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: he's he's out in you know, riot riot situations and basically, yeah,

1338
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:50,679
Speaker 1: he likes the comforence. He's like Bolton, he gets special

1339
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:54,760
Speaker 1: powers from the mustache. Is that true? Bolton definitely does.

1340
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: You should grow a mustache. He he Bolton rubs that

1341
01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:59,639
Speaker 1: mustache and all of a sudden, foreign policy just changes.

1342
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: He's rally fingers that that's kind of funny. There you go. Oh,

1343
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:05,760
Speaker 1: but since we're talking media world and and giving some

1344
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 1: much needed sanity injecting so much needed sanity and the

1345
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,560
Speaker 1: discussion Jeffrey Tuban I said yesterday on the show, just

1346
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 1: to to put the proper context out there, that it

1347
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:19,640
Speaker 1: feels like Jeffrey tubans brand is to say things that

1348
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 1: are obviously incorrect with so much confidence that people who

1349
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:25,519
Speaker 1: don't know any better think he knows what he's talking about.

1350
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 1: I think he's completely lost his marbles on the Supreme

1351
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 1: Court thing. Oh God, like, the things that he has

1352
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 1: written recently have been something something short of remarkable for

1353
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 1: a senior legal analyst for a major international network like CNN.

1354
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 1: He actually went on the air in said, and I'm

1355
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 1: trying to find the quote here. Of course my phone

1356
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:47,640
Speaker 1: is frozen, so I'll just have to paraphrase this unfortunately,

1357
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 1: but he said that gays will be barred from restaurants,

1358
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: African Americans will be thrown out of elite schools, that

1359
01:22:55,800 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: gun control will be banned in fifty states, regulatory state gone.

1360
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 1: He makes these arguments based on the Supreme Court nomination

1361
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 1: of Brett Kavanaugh. And you're then to be so stupid

1362
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 1: to think that the other four conservative judges on there,

1363
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: not the Kavanaugh, would ever vote for any of these things,

1364
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:16,760
Speaker 1: but that Gorsch and Alito and Roberts that they would

1365
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,839
Speaker 1: vote also to do all these things, banned gaze from restaurants,

1366
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 1: and no one, no one checks him on that network.

1367
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 1: That's what kills me. He says it, and they just

1368
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 1: shake their heads like you're at Babla head Knight at

1369
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:30,799
Speaker 1: Nationals Park. Where's the nasty Jake Tapper tweet? Mr facts

1370
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: first all the time? Where's the Jake Tapper tweet on

1371
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: this one? Folks? It's just all about that that going

1372
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: down the line. I'm just asking questions. I'm just asking

1373
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: He's a journalist and he should be fact checking his

1374
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 1: own people. You would you would think big ja journalists

1375
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:47,040
Speaker 1: who oh gosh, must be hard. I would note the

1376
01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 1: tube and also made the argument, which I mocked and

1377
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: enjoy doing so yesterday, that the founders thought everybody was

1378
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 1: gonna die in their fifties. And you look at the

1379
01:23:55,960 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 1: founders Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, that's pretty much into their eighties,

1380
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 1: lived to ninety, which is impressive. I mean we're talking

1381
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:06,760
Speaker 1: like an average of about eighties something. That Yeah, I

1382
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 1: got the quote. He said when the Constitution was written

1383
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 1: in the late eighteenth century people were expected to die

1384
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:13,880
Speaker 1: in their fifties. The Framers, because he can get into

1385
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: the Framer's heads. The Framers never contemplated that these terms

1386
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:19,640
Speaker 1: would regularly go thirty plus years as they do now,

1387
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:22,640
Speaker 1: and that lord's and lifetime terms, which to have been

1388
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: made that exact argument when President Obama had to Supreme

1389
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: Court and now, oh, that's right, he didn't make that argument.

1390
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,799
Speaker 1: And that's what people see. Its selective outrage and suddenly

1391
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,599
Speaker 1: coming up with excuses as to why Supreme Court justices

1392
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't have lifetime lifetime terms because of the guy who's

1393
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 1: appointing them, not because he's actually concerned about them being

1394
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 1: there for thirty years, which back way back when they

1395
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 1: could have been mainstream media hysteria. Now Joe is worse then,

1396
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 1: or not as bad as the height of the Russia

1397
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:55,479
Speaker 1: collusion hysteria. It's worse. You think it worse now, Yeah,

1398
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,599
Speaker 1: because there's no accountability for when you say reckless things,

1399
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 1: irresponsible things, pushed conspiracy theories, all those things. No one

1400
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 1: gets fact checked because everybody's loving the ratings too much.

1401
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:06,559
Speaker 1: Even though I don't know I see how you make

1402
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 1: that case with CNN, because they are down from May

1403
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 1: have two thousand seventeen and may have two thousand total

1404
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 1: viewers one and four gone. And it hasn't exactly been

1405
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 1: a slow news cycle, right, how do you sewers in

1406
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 1: this news cycle? It's impossible unless people are saying this

1407
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 1: is nuts. This is not the CNN that I grew

1408
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: up with. Seeing then the reason why I got into

1409
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:28,560
Speaker 1: journalism there. Their coverage of the first goal for it

1410
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:30,639
Speaker 1: was incredible. People ask me why I would go work

1411
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 1: for CNN. I also had the perception as somebody who

1412
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 1: really was a Fox and MS watcher. I thought of

1413
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 1: MS is kind of the opposition and Fox's home team.

1414
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: I was like, well, CNN, before I worked there, it's

1415
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's it's the down the middle. And

1416
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: then having been there and now seeing no, it is

1417
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 1: not that is a That is a complete falsehood. It's

1418
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: just MSNBC with less honesty. It's now A and n

1419
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 1: By the way, have an audi news network. There you go.

1420
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:55,400
Speaker 1: You gotta have him on. By the way, I've heard

1421
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:57,760

1426
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 1: quote on the flow? And people don't insult my intelligence

01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 1: with like get to the chapa and everything right that?

Speaker 1: Energy is fuel for the fight. How does the administration

1451
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 1: fight the optics on this? Because policy wise and practice wise,

1452
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 1: they're back to catch and release. But do pictures like

1453
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,639
Speaker 1: Rosa just showed us of this little boy being reunited

1454
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 1: with his father after forty three days, Well, those haunt

1455
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 1: this administration. Well, I think the the pictures of the

1456
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:48,479
Speaker 1: cruelty of this administration are a very deliberate part of this.

1457
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 1: They're they're a feature, not a bug, of the of

1458
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,639
Speaker 1: the Trump administration's policy. And so I think that we're

1459
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:58,240
Speaker 1: in a situation where where no one inside the administration

1460
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:00,720
Speaker 1: is unhappy about these things because they're only talking to

1461
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: their base. They're only talking to their core supporters and

1462
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 1: their core supporters. You know, want anybody who's darker than

1463
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:14,280
Speaker 1: a latte deported, come on you know, it's just it's

1464
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 1: just not helpful, right, It's not true, it's not helpful.

1465
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 1: It's the Slanders against Trump supporters. It gets so uh,

1466
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 1: it's just so frustrating at this point. And you know

1467
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 1: they put somebody like that on CNN. I mean, he's

1468
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 1: calling sixty plus million people racists racist. That's you know,

1469
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 1: that's Rick Wilson. I I worked with Rick on different

1470
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 1: TV shows years ago, and you know he was a guest.

1471
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean we weren't. I've never met him in person.

1472
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't know him, but you know I've done. He

1473
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:53,759
Speaker 1: used to be a pretty standard issue GLP guy, well spoken,

1474
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 1: had some had some inscifled things to say. And now

1475
01:28:57,120 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 1: he goes on TV and threatens to you know, he's

1476
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:01,760
Speaker 1: gonna gut a Trump supporter like a fish on air.

1477
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean you know he meant that metaphorically, but you

1478
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 1: know he's talking about how anybody darker than a latte

1479
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:11,880
Speaker 1: they I mean, just first of all, these are lines

1480
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 1: that he's right. I can tell you this, and and

1481
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:17,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the the CNN Conserve, the CNN Republican

1482
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:21,439
Speaker 1: Trump bashers, they're writing out these lines before they go

1483
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 1: on TV. They know they're gonna get picked up by media,

1484
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:26,160
Speaker 1: and I guess they know people like me are gonna

1485
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 1: sit here and say, well, you know, so and so

1486
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 1: said this thing, but they can't be serious about thinking

1487
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 1: that this is helpful to anything or anyone other than themselves.

1488
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 1: I really am at a point now where I think

1489
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 1: that people in the media who just refer to Trump

1490
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 1: supporters as racist in in some way, whether very racist

1491
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 1: or little racist, they're either just very selfish or very dumb.

1492
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:57,880
Speaker 1: I think for some of the more clever ones it's

1493
01:29:57,880 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 1: a selfishness issue. They realized that this is a way

1494
01:29:59,920 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 1: to get on TV there, and for the other ones,

1495
01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:07,600
Speaker 1: it's just stupid because without counties that went for Obama,

1496
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 1: without states that went for Obama twice, Trump doesn't win

1497
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 1: the election. So can someone explain to me how how

1498
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 1: racism is the prime factor in Trump's election when the

1499
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 1: way that Trump beats Hillary Clinton is to have former

1500
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 1: Obama voters that are, like, you know what, the Democrats

1501
01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 1: just don't do a good job. Isn't that possible, folks?

1502
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:30,840
Speaker 1: You know, isn't it fair to take a step back

1503
01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 1: and say, where do the Democrats just run everything? I mean,

1504
01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:38,719
Speaker 1: where do the Democrats have complete and total sway. Okay,

1505
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 1: let's look at some cities, shall we. Baltimore disaster, Detroit disaster,

1506
01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:50,640
Speaker 1: increasingly the state of California disaster. Right, you start to

1507
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:56,679
Speaker 1: look at places that are unipolar, Democrat controlled deep blue

1508
01:30:56,920 --> 01:30:59,000
Speaker 1: areas of the country, whether it's a city or a state,

1509
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 1: and you just have bad governance. You know, people say, oh, buck,

1510
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 1: but what about us. You know, there's like a state

1511
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:08,480
Speaker 1: like Massachusetts. No, there's enough, there's enough Republicans in Massachusetts

1512
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:11,560
Speaker 1: that you actually still have, you know, some hope of

1513
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 1: the Democrats having to behave themselves, right, you have there's

1514
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 1: enough there to push back. When you look at a true,

1515
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:23,640
Speaker 1: pure Democrat political machine in this country, you find yourself

1516
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 1: looking at a place that is generally very poorly run

1517
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:32,599
Speaker 1: and poorly governed. Isn't it just possible that after eight

1518
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:35,559
Speaker 1: years of the Obama administration, the American people, or at

1519
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:39,600
Speaker 1: least a large portion of the American people, felt like

1520
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:45,240
Speaker 1: these folks meeting the Democrats and their allies and the

1521
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 1: and the media that we're telling us, I mean, the

1522
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:49,200
Speaker 1: media was telling us everything was so great when Obama

1523
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:54,480
Speaker 1: was in office. Obama's economic quote recovery was the slowest

1524
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:59,719
Speaker 1: and most mnemic recovery since the Great Depression. The economy

1525
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:04,160
Speaker 1: ragged along for years. People lost years of productivity, years

1526
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:08,559
Speaker 1: of advancement in their careers because Obama's idea was, let's

1527
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:12,240
Speaker 1: spend a whole lot of money on things that Democrats like,

1528
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:16,680
Speaker 1: and let's also put a ton of regulations and a

1529
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 1: lot of state burdens on people and on businesses that

1530
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:25,519
Speaker 1: are trying to be productive. Because that's fair. And fair is,

1531
01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:27,680
Speaker 1: in the context of the Democrat Party, just a way

1532
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:31,400
Speaker 1: of saying, whatever my whims maybe at the moment, whatever

1533
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:34,600
Speaker 1: my emotions tell me, that's what's fair. Right. Fair is

1534
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:39,320
Speaker 1: a feeling. Fair isn't an argument. There's an important difference there,

1535
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 1: and that's when you get into you know, all this

1536
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:44,760
Speaker 1: talk about pay your fair share. You can remember all this,

1537
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:48,840
Speaker 1: you can you can remember what it was like with

1538
01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:51,160
Speaker 1: the Obama years. Remember they were trying to tell us

1539
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 1: folks that very slow to know GDP and economic growth

1540
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:00,680
Speaker 1: was the was the only it was gonna be for

1541
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:03,280
Speaker 1: the future. You know, we were we were told to

1542
01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:08,040
Speaker 1: get used to lackluster results for the American economy as

1543
01:33:08,080 --> 01:33:12,000
Speaker 1: an excuse for eight years of Obama. And instead of

1544
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 1: dealing with that reality and looking at what's going on

1545
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 1: with Trump, who is pro business, pro commerce, pro the

1546
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:22,760
Speaker 1: American worker in a way that's not just rhetorical, right,

1547
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: it's not just oh, I'm pro unions or I'm pro

1548
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 1: teachers unions, right. Pro the guy or gal who shows

1549
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:32,000
Speaker 1: up to do a job is doing things the way

1550
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:35,080
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be done, wants to elevate himself, herself

1551
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:38,560
Speaker 1: or their family and doesn't want to feel like the

1552
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,160
Speaker 1: thumb of government is constantly pushing down on them. And

1553
01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:43,639
Speaker 1: they also don't want to be award of the state.

1554
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:47,840
Speaker 1: They don't you know, they don't want Obama phones, they

1555
01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:52,360
Speaker 1: don't want uh handouts from the government, right, they don't

1556
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 1: want any of that. They just don't want the government

1557
01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 1: in the way. It's an important philosophical difference, and we're

1558
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 1: seeing what it means with Trump. We're seeing how that

1559
01:34:03,360 --> 01:34:05,679
Speaker 1: actually can play out for the American people. But instead

1560
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:08,640
Speaker 1: you get, you know, jokes about how you know that

1561
01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 1: all the Trump supporters are just so racist, just a

1562
01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:15,360
Speaker 1: bunch of racist, toothless hillbillies who don't know anything playing

1563
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:18,439
Speaker 1: banjo with their toes ha ha ha. You know, it's

1564
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 1: just terrible folks, it really is. And you know, some

1565
01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:24,799
Speaker 1: of these people, I understand. Look, everyone's you know, everyone's

1566
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:27,160
Speaker 1: got to pay the rent of the mortgage. People gotta eat.

1567
01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:28,760
Speaker 1: And I know that a lot of this stuff you

1568
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:33,720
Speaker 1: see on the various non Fox cable networks is just

1569
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 1: performance art, right, It's just theater for people that are

1570
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:42,160
Speaker 1: formerly all about limited government and formerly all about uh,

1571
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, doing what is best for the American economy

1572
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 1: and getting government away. Now now all they're about is

1573
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 1: trashing Trump and it's tiresome. It's unhelpful, and I mean,

1574
01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:59,800
Speaker 1: I just think it's it's stupid, lazy and selfish, and

1575
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm just getting sick of it. You know, at least

1576
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:05,639
Speaker 1: come up with some ideas or go the Max Boot route,

1577
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 1: who was still chirons by media as a conservative who's like,

1578
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to vote for a Democrat. I want the

1579
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:15,400
Speaker 1: Democrats to win. Well, that's quite a conservative they like

1580
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:18,360
Speaker 1: to put on TV. Over at CNN, we got much

1581
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:21,800
Speaker 1: more team. I gotta tell you about this this movie

1582
01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:23,599
Speaker 1: that's coming out that I might have to I actually

1583
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 1: might have to boycott. I'll tell you why I stayed

1584
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 1: with me. Years ago. I would have told you that

1585
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:34,280
Speaker 1: I thought that Borack, the character played by Sasha Baron

1586
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:38,400
Speaker 1: Cohen was was a pretty pretty funny thing, you know.

1587
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:41,479
Speaker 1: And and and you had frat boys across America. We're

1588
01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:47,600
Speaker 1: all going m strong on plow and all that stuff, right,

1589
01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 1: we all. And And in fact, it became such a

1590
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:53,280
Speaker 1: cultural phenomenon for a short period of time that to

1591
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 1: do Borat accents was past a I'm one of the

1592
01:35:56,439 --> 01:36:00,240
Speaker 1: few people's ever noticed by the way that Borat as

1593
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:04,120
Speaker 1: a Kazakh from Kazakhstan, clearly had to be Muslim. But

1594
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:06,560
Speaker 1: that was somehow never mentioned and never brought up, and

1595
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:09,839
Speaker 1: it just flew under the radar because I'm sure otherwise

1596
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:12,800
Speaker 1: people would have made fun of the incredible amounts of

1597
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:18,080
Speaker 1: misogyny by the character ignorance anti Jewish stuff going on.

1598
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:21,640
Speaker 1: Right But but because he was just from Kazakhstan, a

1599
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:25,479
Speaker 1: Muslim country, but people didn't really make that connection, he

1600
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:28,280
Speaker 1: was able to get away with all this stuff, which

1601
01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:32,080
Speaker 1: is pretty amazing in retrospect. I don't know if he'd

1602
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 1: be able to do quite the same thing today, but

1603
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:39,120
Speaker 1: he's trying to. Uh, we we have this this news story.

1604
01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:41,120
Speaker 1: It's all over the place. Now, it's Hollywood reporter I

1605
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:42,920
Speaker 1: think is the New York Post. It's it's getting a

1606
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:46,320
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of play where you have Sasha

1607
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:50,200
Speaker 1: Baron Cohen, who's the guy who plays Bored. He also

1608
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:52,960
Speaker 1: does Ali g and a few other characters. I used

1609
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:55,439
Speaker 1: to watch the HBO show way back in the day

1610
01:36:55,479 --> 01:37:00,400
Speaker 1: where he did all these different characters. And he is

1611
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:03,320
Speaker 1: doing the same thing that he's on before with Borad.

1612
01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:07,759
Speaker 1: He's doing these kind of ambush interviews. And the movie

1613
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:11,840
Speaker 1: is called Who Is America? But here's the problem. And

1614
01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 1: and I am not overly sensitive. I'm not somebody who goes,

1615
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. You know, I don't pull the snowflake stuff.

1616
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 1: But there are limits, you know, you you there are

1617
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:24,479
Speaker 1: certain places you just don't go. You don't make Holocaust jokes,

1618
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:29,040
Speaker 1: you don't ever in any way put down or mock

1619
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:31,479
Speaker 1: or drive somebody with with down syndrome. I mean, there

1620
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:33,479
Speaker 1: are red lines, and they're red lines for me, the

1621
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 1: red lines for any decent person. And I think a

1622
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 1: red line for all of us is not only do

1623
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:43,240
Speaker 1: not mess with veterans, you do not mess with disabled veterans,

1624
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 1: or you are in for a world of hurt. And

1625
01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's just metaphorical. And this is

1626
01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:52,519
Speaker 1: the report. Now, I don't you know, this hasn't been

1627
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 1: all fully confirmed, but the report says that Sasha Baron

1628
01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 1: co or Sasha Cohen, what's you call him that now,

1629
01:37:59,439 --> 01:38:02,160
Speaker 1: met with are A Palen and she flew across the

1630
01:38:02,200 --> 01:38:05,040
Speaker 1: country to meet with him. He posed as a disabled

1631
01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:10,280
Speaker 1: veteran in a wheelchair, and he got her to sign something.

1632
01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:12,479
Speaker 1: I think he's also gotten. He got Dick Cheney to

1633
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 1: sign a quote waterboarding kit. But he posed a disabled

1634
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:20,719
Speaker 1: veteran to Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin uh is furious

1635
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:24,840
Speaker 1: about this now, and she has written the following out

1636
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:26,960
Speaker 1: of respect for what I was led to believe would

1637
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 1: be a thoughtful discussion with someone who would serve in uniform.

1638
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:33,479
Speaker 1: I sat through a long interview full of hotty Hollywood

1639
01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:37,240
Speaker 1: is ms, disrespecting sarcasm, but finally had enough and literally

1640
01:38:37,320 --> 01:38:40,759
Speaker 1: physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohen's chagrin.

1641
01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:45,280
Speaker 1: The disrespect of our US military and middle class Americans

1642
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 1: via Cohen's foreign commentaries under the guise who interview questions

1643
01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 1: was perverse. If he really posed as a veteran, I

1644
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:55,559
Speaker 1: gotta tell you this this I'm hoping this is going

1645
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:57,000
Speaker 1: to be the end of this guy doing this kind

1646
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:58,880
Speaker 1: of stuff. If he posed as a disabled vet in

1647
01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:02,760
Speaker 1: a wheelchair for the purposes of this interview, I just

1648
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 1: think that that's I do think that's crossing a red line.

1649
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:08,920
Speaker 1: And and you know, it's a shame on so many levels.

1650
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:10,720
Speaker 1: First of all, the biggest problem is the disrespect, but

1651
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 1: also comedy is such a an avenue for relief and

1652
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:19,600
Speaker 1: actually for bringing people together. And I really mean this.

1653
01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:23,360
Speaker 1: Comedians in this country have abandoned their posts. They've become

1654
01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:28,160
Speaker 1: political hacks, they become nasty, and they become unfunny, and

1655
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 1: it's a real loss to our culture. It looks like

1656
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 1: Sashakhn is a part of that problem. I know he's

1657
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:36,080
Speaker 1: a brick, but same idea. Anyway, I'll keep an eye

1658
01:39:36,120 --> 01:39:38,559
Speaker 1: on this story. And we have roll call coming up.

1659
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:42,800
Speaker 1: The show ain't over yet, folks. Here's where you take over,

1660
01:39:51,160 --> 01:40:02,639
Speaker 1: keeping it real, Team Buck, It's time for roll call.

1661
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:10,479
Speaker 1: It's that time for the funky roll call action. My friends.

1662
01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 1: You know how we do it here in the Hut.

1663
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:15,519
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton.

1664
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm just realizing today it has been Hawhile since I

1665
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 1: have managed to get into the official team look at

1666
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,760
Speaker 1: gmail dot com inbox, so I will make sure the

1667
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:31,960
Speaker 1: next time around we will get to that which is

1668
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. First, up here we have Eric, who

1669
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:43,439
Speaker 1: writes hey Buck paraphrasing Rush Limbaugh on his show today.

1670
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:47,479
Speaker 1: The left hysteria about Kavanaugh has nothing to do with Kavanaugh.

1671
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 1: It has to do with the fact that he will

1672
01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:52,559
Speaker 1: abide by the Constitution. They don't want the Supreme Court

1673
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:55,439
Speaker 1: to be bound by the U. S. Constitution. They want

1674
01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:58,439
Speaker 1: judges who will ignore the Constitution and make decisions that

1675
01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:03,360
Speaker 1: enable the left to post there will on us. Isn't

1676
01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 1: that horrifying? The very thing that we love the U. S.

1677
01:41:06,600 --> 01:41:09,679
Speaker 1: Constitution for that it protects us from bad people forcing

1678
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 1: bad policies on us. Is what the Democrats hate about

1679
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:18,639
Speaker 1: the Constitution. PS love the Soroce impression. Eric Shields high

1680
01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:23,080
Speaker 1: let Edic, thank you very much for a din Sous

1681
01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:26,839
Speaker 1: would like to send you a large crate of gold bars,

1682
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:29,720
Speaker 1: unmarked of course, so you can put it whatever you want.

1683
01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:32,840
Speaker 1: You can hide it from your government, for when the

1684
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 1: end comes, we bring it all come crashing down, Adam.

1685
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:41,560
Speaker 1: Next up here, personally. When it comes to Democrats, the

1686
01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 1: momentum has shifted so far to the right that they

1687
01:41:44,439 --> 01:41:48,599
Speaker 1: may see no alternative. The old adage applies here. There

1688
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 1: is no worse enemy than one who has nothing left

1689
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:53,559
Speaker 1: to lose. I don't know where the line is exactly,

1690
01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 1: but I fear we are marching toward it shields high,

1691
01:41:57,200 --> 01:42:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, Adam, I agree, man, I this is gonna

1692
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 1: get the Democrats lose this midterm election, meaning that they

1693
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:07,200
Speaker 1: don't take control of the House with the Senate. Right

1694
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:10,719
Speaker 1: if if they don't pick up control of any government,

1695
01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:15,040
Speaker 1: what do they tell themselves? How is it possible that

1696
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,960
Speaker 1: their fellow Americans could not just elect Trump and let

1697
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 1: him lead the Republican Party, but then there could be

1698
01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:26,360
Speaker 1: an affirmation of that vote at the ballot box. After

1699
01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:29,000
Speaker 1: two years of Trump at the head of the GOP,

1700
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,280
Speaker 1: It's almost like Trump's doing a good job and the

1701
01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:35,400
Speaker 1: GOP is better at governing than the Democrats are. Oh

1702
01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:43,559
Speaker 1: my gosh crazy, Who knew? Right? Who knew? Matthew up

1703
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:45,439
Speaker 1: here rights? Great movie quote. Ever, notice how you come

1704
01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 1: across somebody once a while, you shouldn't have messed with

1705
01:42:48,040 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 1: That's me um, Matthew. I don't know what that movie is.

1706
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is, So somebody else is

1707
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:57,600
Speaker 1: going to have to tell me what that one is.

1708
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,000
Speaker 1: We will have to do a quick look upon that one.

1709
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 1: Brian writes, enjoy the show, buck great Brexit segment. Please

1710
01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:09,080
Speaker 1: explain why liberals think Rob Wade is settled law, but

1711
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:13,040
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment, which is specifically spelled out, is not.

1712
01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, Brian, I it's a completely valid question, it's

1713
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: intelligent question. But there's a part of me that almost

1714
01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:24,800
Speaker 1: grows too tired. I grow weary of dealing with all

1715
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:28,200
Speaker 1: the liberal hypocrisy when it comes to the Constitution and

1716
01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:32,960
Speaker 1: constitutional rights and the the Bill of Rights and the

1717
01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:36,400
Speaker 1: various amendments. It's just they make it up as they

1718
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 1: go along. It's a different argument every day. There's no consistency. No,

1719
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:43,200
Speaker 1: it's it's like you're wrestling with jello all the time

1720
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:47,360
Speaker 1: when you're talking about left wing jurisprudence. Wrestling with the

1721
01:43:47,439 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 1: jello sounds like fun. No, really, it's something that I

1722
01:43:51,240 --> 01:43:55,600
Speaker 1: think is uh, it's tedious. It's becoming tedious, you know.

1723
01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 1: On the one on the one hand, you've got I mean,

1724
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 1: I couldn't even believe this today this was amazing. You

1725
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:09,160
Speaker 1: have an NBC reporter named Katie tur who who said,

1726
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:13,519
Speaker 1: uh an MSNBC owned by NBC. Quote, based on where

1727
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:16,120
Speaker 1: Americans stand on the issues, Americans have really moved in

1728
01:44:16,200 --> 01:44:18,920
Speaker 1: a much more progressive direction over the years. Do you

1729
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 1: think it's appropriate to continue to take such a strict

1730
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:25,640
Speaker 1: originalist view of the Constitution given its eighteen and not

1731
01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 1: seventeen seventies six and quote because I and every sentence

1732
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 1: with a little bit of raising my voice because that

1733
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:39,880
Speaker 1: like sounds really like I know what I'm talking about. Um, Yes, Katie,

1734
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:42,840
Speaker 1: we do think that the plain English language of the

1735
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:47,360
Speaker 1: Constitution from seventeen seventy six, that was just a compilation

1736
01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:51,160
Speaker 1: of ideas that led to the greatest, most prosperous nation

1737
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 1: not just on the planet, but on the in the

1738
01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 1: history of the planet. I think that that Constitution is

1739
01:44:57,080 --> 01:45:01,599
Speaker 1: still valid. I think that universe stal truths are still

1740
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:07,439
Speaker 1: universal truths. I think that universe universal uh natural law

1741
01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:10,560
Speaker 1: is still applicable today. I don't think we have like

1742
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:14,040
Speaker 1: gotten beyond that because like just because like but I mean,

1743
01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:16,720
Speaker 1: the founders didn't have like Twitter and stuff, so like

1744
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:21,320
Speaker 1: how could they know what ammdents to right? Yeah, I don't.

1745
01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, Katie, I don't know.

1746
01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I got I got ahead of myself there

1747
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 1: for a second. Okay, here we go back to roll call,

1748
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:37,800
Speaker 1: back to roll call, Sexton. Ah, here we go, Josh, right, hey, Buck,

1749
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:41,960
Speaker 1: longtime listener, all the way back to just the Saturday Show. Oh, Josh,

1750
01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:43,519
Speaker 1: we have a name for that. It is called O

1751
01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:49,400
Speaker 1: s S for Original Saturday Squad. I'm not sure if

1752
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 1: you've covered it or not, but why can't Trump just

1753
01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:55,479
Speaker 1: apply the travel band to countries south of the border?

1754
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 1: Any thoughts, Josh, Well, Josh, there would be massive eckl

1755
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:03,519
Speaker 1: nomic ramifications of I don't know if you're including Mexico

1756
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:05,879
Speaker 1: on that or not. He could do it with Central America,

1757
01:46:06,120 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 1: Central American countries, and given the rapidly deteriorating situation in

1758
01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:15,960
Speaker 1: Nicaragua right now, there's a case to be made that

1759
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 1: maybe that's not a terrible idea. But uh, if he

1760
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:25,320
Speaker 1: banned Mexico under national security, under his National security authority,

1761
01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the Democrats would completely lose their minds. You'd

1762
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:30,880
Speaker 1: have massive protests in the streets, you pay a huge

1763
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:33,559
Speaker 1: political costs, and also the economic costs would be very real. Look,

1764
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:36,559
Speaker 1: we do a lot of trade with Mexico. Okay, there

1765
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:38,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good things. I mean, I think

1766
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 1: this gets lost in this. There's so much good that

1767
01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:44,599
Speaker 1: happens as a result of cross border activity of all kinds.

1768
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:47,680
Speaker 1: There's bad as well, but there's a lot of good too, right,

1769
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:53,200
Speaker 1: And you know, I want entrepreneurial Mexicans who can come

1770
01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:55,439
Speaker 1: into America and are gonna work hard. I'm gonna do,

1771
01:46:55,760 --> 01:47:01,040
Speaker 1: But I also want entrepreneurial Canadians. I want entrepreneurial bots Swannin's.

1772
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:03,960
Speaker 1: I want entrepreneurial Turks. You know, I just want the

1773
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 1: best of the best from everywhere. I don't want them

1774
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 1: to become legally, but even in a day to day

1775
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,880
Speaker 1: since in terms of the economic activity across the border,

1776
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of you know, we're we're selling stuff

1777
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 1: to Mexico, Mexico selling stuff to us, so we we

1778
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:19,320
Speaker 1: couldn't just do that. But I understand you're trying to

1779
01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:22,040
Speaker 1: think outside the box, and I appreciate it. Aries just

1780
01:47:22,200 --> 01:47:26,720
Speaker 1: writes office Space, because yes, Aries, you're correct, that was

1781
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:30,240
Speaker 1: the movie reference that I made yesterday. Aries just he

1782
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:32,680
Speaker 1: Arias just goes for the mic drop Facebook message just

1783
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:36,000
Speaker 1: like Boom office Space. I'm money. I'm not even gonna

1784
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna at you, just office space. Dawn. Right, Hello,

1785
01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:46,320
Speaker 1: my husband listens to your show. He tells you that

1786
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:50,760
Speaker 1: tells us that he's OSS and was telling me how

1787
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:54,280
Speaker 1: much you love dogs. Our dog, Daisy was hit by

1788
01:47:54,320 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 1: a car a few weeks ago, and the vet bills

1789
01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:58,160
Speaker 1: have gone beyond what we have what we could afford.

1790
01:47:58,560 --> 01:48:00,519
Speaker 1: We set up a go fund me paid to raise

1791
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:02,040
Speaker 1: money and hope you may be able to share it

1792
01:48:02,120 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 1: on your Facebook page. I understand that it's something you

1793
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:06,280
Speaker 1: can't do, but any kind of explosion we can get

1794
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:08,960
Speaker 1: would be helpful. You know what, Dawn, we will put

1795
01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:12,479
Speaker 1: this up in the Freedom Hunt because there's a Team

1796
01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 1: Bucks Freedom Hunt page with a lot of OSS folks,

1797
01:48:16,840 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 1: and and we will will see if we can get

1798
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:22,480
Speaker 1: some get some help for Daisy. It looks like you're adorable,

1799
01:48:22,520 --> 01:48:25,439
Speaker 1: black lab. It is also the name of my brilliant

1800
01:48:25,479 --> 01:48:28,400
Speaker 1: and beautiful and wonderful recently married little sister, so I'm

1801
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:32,560
Speaker 1: particularly partial to the name Daisy. But Dawn, you know,

1802
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:34,920
Speaker 1: if I can ever help, I will, and don't ever

1803
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 1: hesitate to reach out and ask for help here in

1804
01:48:37,560 --> 01:48:41,880
Speaker 1: the freedom hunt. William right buck, been listening to you

1805
01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:45,599
Speaker 1: for a few months. I'm also a former I see member.

1806
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 1: I saw the headline your reference. I see intelligence community folks.

1807
01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:51,840
Speaker 1: I saw the headline your reference earlier. Was the FBI

1808
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 1: bamboozled on Fox News only moments before? And I noticed

1809
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 1: something instantly. If this notion is being promoted by the

1810
01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:02,479
Speaker 1: FBI itself, is clearly their attempt at an out from

1811
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:05,560
Speaker 1: the treachery they committed and are being exposed for. To

1812
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:09,080
Speaker 1: believe that the FBI was bamboozled by bad information is

1813
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:14,360
Speaker 1: to completely disregard common sense and reality. Even a rank

1814
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 1: amateur would have recognized the lack of veracity in such

1815
01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:20,840
Speaker 1: intel reporting as the dossier. No one in the FBI

1816
01:49:20,960 --> 01:49:23,240
Speaker 1: is that gullible. And I say that as no fan

1817
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:27,200
Speaker 1: of the FBI whatsoever, William, I will say this. I'm

1818
01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:31,080
Speaker 1: probably getting in trouble for this. But FBI agents, the

1819
01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:34,719
Speaker 1: guys carrying the guns to do good work. God bless

1820
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:39,800
Speaker 1: most of the FBI analysts that I dealt with. We're

1821
01:49:40,720 --> 01:49:43,040
Speaker 1: not the best in the intel community. I'll I'll be

1822
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:48,240
Speaker 1: I will be charitable, second tier, maybe third tier within

1823
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:51,040
Speaker 1: that community. Just I call it like it is. Not this.

1824
01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the special agents, talking about the analysts.

1825
01:49:53,439 --> 01:49:55,400
Speaker 1: I was an analyst too, so I'm you know, analysts

1826
01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 1: are allowed to make fun of other analysts, right, so

1827
01:49:58,439 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 1: FBI analysts were not blowing my blowing my socks off? Uh,

1828
01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:05,640
Speaker 1: where were we here? They may not have they may

1829
01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:07,960
Speaker 1: have many faults, but being that incompetent in intelligence vetting

1830
01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:10,280
Speaker 1: is just not one of their faults. And they're trying

1831
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:12,760
Speaker 1: to sell this line of crap that they were bamboozled.

1832
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:15,200
Speaker 1: It's a cheap attempt to wash their dirty hands at

1833
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:18,080
Speaker 1: the intentional subversion of a legitimate election. Kindness regards, will

1834
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:21,560
Speaker 1: keep fighting the good fight, will shields high, and thank you,

1835
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 1: and I agree with you. And good to have an

1836
01:50:24,200 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 1: i C brother writing in one of my favorite things

1837
01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:30,040
Speaker 1: about this show. I get emails and messages from people

1838
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:35,320
Speaker 1: downrange military special operations community. I get people from from

1839
01:50:35,400 --> 01:50:38,720
Speaker 1: within the i C. Let's say former, let's just say

1840
01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:42,080
Speaker 1: always former for our purposes within the i C reach

1841
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:45,479
Speaker 1: out to me and yeah, it's it's just good to

1842
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:48,640
Speaker 1: have that connectivity. And I take a special pride in

1843
01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:51,920
Speaker 1: knowing that practitioners, people who know what it is to

1844
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:55,960
Speaker 1: be involved in counter terrorism, be doing real national security

1845
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:59,519
Speaker 1: work and law enforcement. Although I'm really a national security analyst, guys,

1846
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:02,040
Speaker 1: I I I kind of dabbled in law enforcement for

1847
01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:04,960
Speaker 1: a little while, but I'm really a national security analyst. Um.

1848
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:06,880
Speaker 1: But that they listen to the show and respect this

1849
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:12,160
Speaker 1: show means a tremendous amount to me. Dale. Uh, Mike

1850
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: Lee would have been a bad choice for scotus. You

1851
01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 1: lose a Senate vote on that, right do I don't

1852
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:19,040
Speaker 1: think Mike Lee would be a bad choice for Senate. Look,

1853
01:51:19,160 --> 01:51:21,680
Speaker 1: Utah is pretty safe red. At least we don't have

1854
01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:24,160
Speaker 1: to worry about things going blue in Utah. That's nice.

1855
01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:28,280
Speaker 1: But Mike Lee would have been a very good choice.

1856
01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:31,320
Speaker 1: I think that that actually would make sense. But thanks

1857
01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:35,879
Speaker 1: for Sharon gen great show and loving the live streams.

1858
01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:39,120
Speaker 1: What the left is doing is really getting scary. People

1859
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:42,479
Speaker 1: attacking others in restaurants, people telling politicians they know where

1860
01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:44,880
Speaker 1: they live. Most of these people don't even know or

1861
01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:47,120
Speaker 1: care to learn what it is they are yelling about.

1862
01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:50,080
Speaker 1: Someone is going to get seriously hurt and we will

1863
01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:52,720
Speaker 1: get blamed for it by the left sad times, but

1864
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:55,640
Speaker 1: I have hope it will get better with Trump, you,

Speaker 1: Rush and others leading the way. I have faith we

1866
