1
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. A melee at our

2
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: southern border has people asking when are Democrats going to

3
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: finally admit that we need border security? Looks like it's

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be anytime soon. The shutdown continues. We'll get

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: to that. Plus Mitt Romney with a shot across the

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: bow of the Trump administration and an op ed what

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: is MIT thinking? That are more coming up on The

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show where

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: the mission or mission is to decode what really matters

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American Great, You're a

11
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: great American Again. The buck Sexton Show begins the sectimicalyst No.

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Just almost at three am in the morning, about one

13
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty undocumented migrants quite violently engaged our border

14
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: patrol agents. They breached the border fence. There they were

15
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: in higher ground based on just the layout of the area. There.

16
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: They were up upon a hill just over on the

17
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 1: other side of that fence, moving women and children ahead

18
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: of them, wrapped in blankets, trying to bring them over

19
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: concertina wire that we had laid beyond the fence on

20
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: the US side. And as our border patrol agents went

21
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: down to try to not just apprehend the women and children,

22
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: but a system so that they would not be injured

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: by the wire. The migrants on the other side began

24
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: hurling rocks and throwing rocks at our agents and also

25
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: putting the migrants at peril as well. That's when they deployed.

26
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: The non lethal uses of force dispersed that group and

27
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: ultimately most of them did head back into Mexico. About

28
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,279
Speaker 1: two dozen or so were ultimately apprehended by our agent.

29
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck Saxton Show, everybody. I am back.

30
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: I am so happy to be here with you. After

31
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: a break, we'll talk more about this later on in

32
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: the show. I want, I want to get right to it.

33
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: I missed you all, but I missed doing this show,

34
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: so let let me not stand on ceremony. There you

35
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: had Customs and Border Patrol Deputy Commissioner Robert Perez saying,

36
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: look what happened right around Christmas time. What happened at

37
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: the border was a multi pronged incident, an effort to

38
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: oh no, I'm sorry on New Year's desk, said Christmas

39
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: right around New Year's not Christmas. This coordinated effort to

40
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: overrun a sector of our southern border to assault police

41
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: officers and to engage in this kind of aggressive lawlessness.

42
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, those who say it's not an invasion. I

43
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: just want to know, what do you call a coordinated

44
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: breach of a law enforcement barrier using projectiles and you know,

45
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: various tactics of of disorientation against our law enforcement officers.

46
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: What do we call that? Does anyone, anyone have any

47
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: any idea? It's not showing up at a port of

48
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: entry and saying, hey, I'd like to be an American.

49
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: It's not that. It's certainly not going through our legal

50
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: immigration process and showing your respect for this country. You know,

51
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: one of the important things about being an immigrant is

52
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: showing that you respect the laws of this country. You

53
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: want to become a part of it. And if you

54
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: want to become a part of the American family, that's great.

55
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: There's the right way to do it, though, and only

56
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: one political party cares at all about this anymore. I mean,

57
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: the Democrats have a ban and they are they are

58
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: complete frauds when it comes to border security, outright frauds.

59
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: And Trump has done the right thing by pushing us

60
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: into this shutdown. At least we're now having the fight

61
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: at least we're going to have this debate publicly and

62
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: we can see what a bunch of scheming, lying, hypocritical

63
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: hyenas Pelosi and Schumer and the rest of the open

64
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: borders Democrat gang really are that The reporting on this,

65
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: of course, focused on how these migrants were exposed to

66
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: tier guys. Oh they're exposed to tier guys. How could

67
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: anyone do anything so terrible? I'm glad that Border Patrol

68
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: agent Rodney Scott wasn't going to just sit there and

69
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: let this get said about the men of men and

70
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: women of Border Patrol who are doing a difficult job

71
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: and a very necessary one play clip two. Our agents

72
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: responded with the least amount of force they possibly could

73
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: to protect themselves in the border, and did actually secure

74
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: the border in this area. One agent was hit in

75
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: a square the face of the rock. Luckily he had

76
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: his helmet and shield on and was not seriously injured,

77
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: but the violence associated that Caerevanes continued, what would the

78
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: open borders cowardly leftist dems like our border patrol to do?

79
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: You know? I would like to ask them, I mean

80
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: I would like to put them maybe through through an

81
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: experiment here. What do they think would happen if if

82
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 1: a normal American, any American anywhere in the country, walked,

83
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, twenty or thirty paces away from just a cop,

84
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: any law enforcement officer, and through a rock, you know,

85
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: a good be a big chunk of stone at the

86
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: face of that law enforcement officer. Does anyone think that

87
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: that person would get off, first of all, a lot

88
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: worse than tear gas. I mean, if that officer catches

89
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: up to that person and has you know, their their

90
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: baton out. I mean they're going to go to work,

91
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: and rightfully so this person's obviously now a threat try

92
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: to hurt you. So if you close that distance between them,

93
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: and you know, between the rock thrower and the officer,

94
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, officers got gotta take care of that threat.

95
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: You get hit in the face with a rock, could

96
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: knock you out, knock your teeth out, disfigure you give

97
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: you a concussion, could kill you. It could kill you.

98
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: And think of the mentality of people who want to

99
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: come into America and would take an action against our

100
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: law enforcement officers on the border that no American in

101
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: his right mind would ever do on us soil. And

102
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: I know, I know a lot, a lot of folks

103
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: out there that you know, I have all kinds of

104
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: different ideologies and notions about, you know, how they should

105
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: interact with the cops. And I can tell you this,

106
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: No no one thinks that they're going to be able

107
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: to throw a rock at a cop without their being consequences.

108
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: You know, nobody thinks that that's a situation that should

109
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: be allowed, should be allowed to happen. I mean, just

110
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: think of that mentality. And yet you know, here we are, here,

111
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: we are with people that are trying to cross that

112
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: our southern border of throwing rocks at officers and showing

113
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: such blatant, just gross disrespect for our men and women

114
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: in uniform. I like to remind you of this because

115
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's nearly enough play. About a third

116
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: of border patrol is comprised of veterans, A big percentage

117
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: of border patrol or actually minority in particularly Latino American.

118
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: And these are the people on the front lines who

119
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: are getting rocks thrown at them. We're being told that

120
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: who are being told that they're they're responsible for, you know,

121
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: killing killing children at the border because they their face

122
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: with this inundation. I mean, this this flood of people

123
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: and this all stretches back to Obama and Democrat activists

124
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: and the left promoting this idea of yeah, you know,

125
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: come come to the border, come to the border. Here's how,

126
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: here's when. Yeah. Obama, sure, he said we don't come

127
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: to the border, and then he made sure that they

128
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: would come to the border. Don't come to the border,

129
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna make sure if you get here you

130
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: can stay. Don't come to the border. But you know,

131
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: if you do get here, your the rest of your

132
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: family gets to stay too. You know, we'll do DOC,

133
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: We'll do DAPPA, We'll do all these different executive authority

134
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: based programs. Forget about the law, forget about Congress, the constitution.

135
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: Democrats want this. They want this, and you know that

136
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: there's a problem because they won't own up to the

137
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: fact that this is what they want. They can't be

138
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: honest with the American people about where they stand on

139
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: the border. Tom Homan, who was ICE acting ICE Director,

140
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: I've talked to him numerous times about about all these issues.

141
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: You know, he's somebody who who really gets it on

142
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: what we need to do. I mean, the border is

143
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: in a crisis right now. We are having we are

144
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: having riots, at our southern border of people who claim

145
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: they want to come into this country. And notice how

146
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: they're trying to overrun certain areas. Almost like you can

147
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: have a more secure or less secure border based upon

148
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: the resources and yes, the physical barriers present in that area.

149
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: But home In had this to say about this, the

150
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: rock throwing. He knows there's going to be more, and

151
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: he knows it's going to get worse. Play three. If

152
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: these illegal amiads are throwing stones everywhere, I think the

153
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: use of tear gases, I'm an amused force necessary to

154
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: protect themselves. I mean, and it's going to happen again.

155
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: This is the second time it's happened. It's going to

156
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: happen again. There's chaos in that border which the Democrats

157
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: don't seem to grasp, and meanwhile the President is trying

158
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: to get a fix for the border. Democrats all for nothing.

159
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they say the border was ineffective border barrier.

160
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: And if you look at the data data speak for yourself.

161
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: Every place they had built a barrier, illeig immigration has decreased,

162
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: that's a fact. Every place they built one percent effective.

163
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: And as far as the cost of the wall, there

164
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: will be offset quickly. In amount of money we will

165
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: saving immigration detention, immigration courts, the cost of so social

166
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: services to illegal aliens in this country, and the US

167
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: citizen born children. If you look at the costs of

168
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: illig immigration, it's aid over one hundred billion dollars a year.

169
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: That is a fraction of what the president's asking for.

170
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: So I truly believe the Democratic leadership understands this, but

171
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: they're putting their political ambitions, their hatred for this Trump administration.

172
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: They don't want to give this president a win at

173
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: the expense of the safety of American people. I truly

174
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: believe that. I think everything that Tom's saying there is accurate,

175
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: and I would add to it. Democrats see this is

176
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: the only issue they have to win on, and then

177
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: they went on all the other issues. This illegal immigration

178
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: is their pathway to a permanent political majority, their pathway

179
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: to a one party state in this country, and that

180
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: means that it takes precedence over everything else. How else

181
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: can you explain how we spend so much time arguing

182
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,479
Speaker 1: with Democrats over the rights of people who aren't even Americans,

183
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: who aren't even supposed to be here. Now, Democrats, oh many,

184
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: they just all they want to talk about is illegal aliens,

185
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: how we need to do more for legal aliens, bring

186
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: more and don't call them illegal aliens, call them undocumented, DOCA, DABA,

187
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: all these different programs. This is their their primary focus,

188
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, not dealing with the debt and deficit, not

189
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: veteran homelessness, not you know, reforming our healthcare delivery systems

190
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: in meaningful ways. You know, none of that, No, nothing

191
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: that's going to affect Americans. They are first and foremost

192
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: concerned with what they can do to help non Americans.

193
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: And they wonder why there's a backlash against the elites.

194
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: They wonder why we don't really trust them. And Homan's

195
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: point one that I make regularly on this show, and

196
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: it's important because you know, I need to say it,

197
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of you need to hear it,

198
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: because the mainstream media is just making it up as

199
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: they go along on this Walls work. Of course they work.

200
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: You are being lied to, and I know you know it,

201
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: but it's easy to get numb to it. It's easy

202
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: to become numb over time to the media's misrepresentations, to

203
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: the falsehoods that they peddle about immigration, most notably on

204
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: the effectiveness of a wall. You just you keep hearing it,

205
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: and you know, look, I find myself occasionally I'll just

206
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: blurt out, yeah, what are we doing about the undocumented?

207
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that I just say that. It's not

208
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: that I want to it's they say it. They keep

209
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: repeating it. The mere repetition, the propaganda has an effect,

210
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: and they keep telling you a wall that doesn't work.

211
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: After a while you start to think, well, I guess

212
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: there must be a question about walls work. Bullcrap. Walls work, obviously.

213
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: And here's the fear. The Democrats have the American people,

214
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: at least a strong majority of us, you know, the

215
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: the sixty or seventy percent of us who at least

216
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: can still be reasonable on some issues. Right, you know,

217
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: about half of us are reasonable on most issues Republicans,

218
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: and then there's maybe about sixty to sixty five percent

219
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: of us who when it's really clear, we still kind.

220
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: But unfortunately this you know, thirty to forty percent of

221
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: the country is just wacko on their politics. Just they've

222
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: bought all this nonsense and we're never going to be

223
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: able to bring them back into reality. But for those

224
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: of us that do operate in reality and want to

225
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: be want to be correct something. We want to be right.

226
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: Oh I was right, I was right. No, No, I

227
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: want to be correct. I want the positions that I'm

228
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: supporting to be the ones that have the out that

229
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: bring the outcomes that I want, that have the intended effect.

230
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: And a wall would be one of the great slapdowns

231
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: of a Democrat lie of all time, because they once

232
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: once it's up, and the numbers won't lie. You know,

233
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: once it's up, we'll see that they've just been They've

234
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: been clowning themselves on this one because there's both a

235
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: thirst for power that drives a lot of this. They

236
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: know if they keep the border open, and they keep

237
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: this issue for reasons of identity politics and enlarging the

238
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: state and pulling us apart as a as an American

239
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: community that has shared values when it comes to respect

240
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: for rule of law. And they're excited by all that,

241
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: and they're also concerned. I'm not concerned that this is

242
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: going to keep going. They love that it's happening. They're

243
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: concerned that we may actually be able to end this

244
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: scam because that's when the accountability kicks in, when we

245
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: see how they've been lying on them. This is why

246
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: the fight right now, the shutdown, this is necessary. This

247
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: has to happen. You know, I wanted to happen when

248
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: I thought Trump wasn't going through with it, those who

249
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: listen to the the show, No, I was, you know what,

250
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: off about it. I was mad. And the President's going

251
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: He's going to the mount of this one and he's fighting.

252
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: I hope he stays. I hope he does not cave.

253
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm still worried that he will. But so far, I

254
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: gotta give credit where it's due, and he is fighting

255
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: this fight. And man, it is gonna get uglier and

256
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: uglier in the days ahead. I mean, they are gonna

257
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: do everything they can because from there, from the left's perspective,

258
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: the Democrats, if they can hold Trump off on this one,

259
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: if they can withstand the pressure and finally have Republicans

260
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: walk away with nothing. We're talking about five billion dollars. Mean,

261
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: this should be easy, right walk away with nothing. It

262
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: will just create a momentum for all of the most

263
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: anti Trump lunatics going into the investigations and the hearings

264
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: and the over all the stuff that we know is coming.

265
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean this year, man, I'm glad to have all

266
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: of you, because this year is going to be it's

267
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: gonna be rough in that regard. We're gonna be playing.

268
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna be playing a lot of defense, a lot

269
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: of a lot of shields eye for real coming up

270
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: this year, so get ready for it. We get a

271
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: lot more show. It is so good to be back

272
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: here with you. I honestly missed it and I'm not

273
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: going anywhere for a long time, so stick with me.

274
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: I'll your back. It's so ridiculous. This is a system

275
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: that we have, and nobody pointed it out until we

276
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: came a law. So you end up in a court

277
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: case to tell somebody normally it's like, hey, you're on

278
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: our land, we don't want you, and you have to

279
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: come through legally get out. So we catch, we do paperwork,

280
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: we bring him to court. You could never have enough

281
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: judges because you're talking about thousands, tens of thousands of people.

282
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: You end up in trials, but the trials don't take

283
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: place because what they have to do, because it's impossible

284
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: to hold all of it. This is by law. This

285
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: is by these idiotic laws given to us by largely

286
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: by the Democrats, mostly by the Democrats, that we can

287
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: change in one hour if people got together. These laws

288
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: that Trump is talking about immigration laws, He's right, they're dumb,

289
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: they're not working. They are invitations to abuse and bureaucratic

290
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: inertia and fraud. And he's totally right, which is why

291
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: a wall is just one step, a necessary one, but

292
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: one step toward dealing with our legal immigration problem, one

293
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: step in the process. You know, we also need a

294
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: more streamlined process to deal with those who want asylum.

295
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: We need to clamp down on all the fraud that

296
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: goes on in people saying that they are have a

297
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: credible fear for just being you know, Honduran. We need

298
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: to get e verified. We need workplace enforcement, we need

299
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: to end sanctuary cities. I mean, there's this whole laundry

300
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: list of very important things, and that's why I just think,

301
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, if we can't get the wall, you start

302
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: to wonder what's the point. I mean, if we can't

303
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: even get that front line. You know, this is like

304
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: saying I want I want you to have to secure

305
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: a home. Let's put a lock on your front door.

306
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I don't want a security system. I

307
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: don't want you to, you know, have a weapon for

308
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: home defense, preferably a firearm, maybe a shotgun, depends on

309
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: what you want. You know, I want you to have

310
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: all those things too. But let's start with a lock

311
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: on your door. Right the wall is the lock on

312
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: the door. If we can't get that, you have to

313
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: wonder what do we even do about the rest of

314
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: That's why this issue is so important, and yes it

315
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: is worth a shutdown. I'll get more into that, and

316
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: I'll also talk about this Romney Trump feud. I don't

317
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: find it as interesting. I think the media is gonna yeah,

318
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: this is just a chance in the trash Trump's Oh

319
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: look a Republican doesn't like Trump. I'll give you some

320
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: some of my thoughts on that. There is an interesting

321
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: foreign policy angle to it that I think you'll definitely

322
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: want to hear. And then I've got a big third

323
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: hour coming to tell you about the whole vacation. So well,

324
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: it's a twelve days of Christmas we've had concluding the day,

325
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: twelve days of a government shut down. He is desperate

326
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: because he fears the Mull investigation. This serves as a

327
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: distraction and Jan's up base that. Frankly, Chris doesn't like

328
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: the federal government anyway. They could care less. His basically

329
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: care less if the government is open. But think about

330
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: this in terms of this wall. We just celebrated Christmas,

331
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: or at least try to federal workers. I was reading

332
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: online Time magazine to the piece some federal workers who

333
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: aren't getting paychecks are having to return to Christmas gifts, okay,

334
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: having to seek second jobs. Get ready for it. An

335
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: endless stream of shutdown emotion theater is coming your way.

336
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: You are going to hear all kinds of new stories about,

337
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: you know, how this family couldn't you know this family

338
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: because one of them are you know, the head of

339
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: households of federal government employee. Couldn't get this mortgage they

340
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: applied for that family, you know, couldn't afford little Timmy's braces.

341
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: You know all these things, And I understand, I get it,

342
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: you get it to that stinks. But I also know,

343
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: you know, and so I feel for those people. And

344
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: I don't mean that I'm not mocking their problems. I'm

345
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: just saying the media is going to exploit their problems.

346
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: Right now, the media's going to exploit the gap in

347
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 1: pay it. And I would also note that, you know,

348
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: we don't have to live in a country, or rather,

349
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: we don't necessarily live in a country where we should

350
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: expect it. If you work for the federal government, you

351
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: are essentially unfireable and never miss a paycheck, which is

352
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: the that is the expectation. I mean, you're not entirely

353
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, you can't break the law. I mean there's one,

354
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: but generally, if you get a federal government job, you

355
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: expect to have it for life and never miss a

356
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: paycheck a pay period, which is not a luxury that

357
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: the rest of the workforce gets at all. And I

358
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: have been to, you know, been to offices on many

359
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: a day where a lot of my friends and colleagues

360
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: were told you no longer have a paycheck, and you

361
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: longer you no longer have healthcare. And I've been there

362
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: for those conversations. I've been there when that happens. That

363
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: is not fun. I've been there one n told I

364
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: don't longer have a job. So you know, there are limits.

365
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: I think to how far people sympathy here will go

366
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: for those folks who are that doesn't mean there should

367
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: be no sympathy. I'm not trying to be, you know,

368
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: a grinch jerk here, but they're going to really play

369
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: this game, how the Democrats are going to just try

370
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: to make this all about a SOB story. And I

371
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: would offer this as the shutdown showdown continues on. There

372
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: are very real economic and security and safety reasons why

373
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: we need a more secure border. This is not without

374
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: major costs, without major consequence. There are people who are

375
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: losing their lives because the federal government cannot secure the

376
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: border effectively. You know. There there was this incident that

377
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: just happened with police corporal Ronald Singh over the bread

378
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: I mean, just heartbreaking. And what we find out is

379
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: that Gustavo Perez Ariaga was in the country illegally, had

380
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: previous arrests, and is now in custody, you know, for

381
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: allegedly killing this corporal Ronald Singh in California after a

382
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: two day long manhunt. Now, there are a lot of

383
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: reasons that this is enraging. One of them is that

384
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: Immigrations and Customs Enforcement says that they have had no

385
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: contact with this illegal immigrant. Okay, they have had no

386
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: contact with them. How is that possible, Well, it's only

387
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: possible because of the sanctuary city policy of the state

388
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: of California, as well as all the cities of California

389
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: that tries to actively stemy, I mean, tries to prevent

390
00:22:54,800 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: law enforcement from effectively doing their jobs. That's what's going

391
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: on here. That is why you could have somebody like this,

392
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: who's this I mean, this guy is a criminal. This

393
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: guy is a criminal. I'm by the way, I'm happy

394
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: to see that seven other people have been charged with

395
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: aiding this guy, this scum perez Ariaga for killing Corporal

396
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: sing you know, I mean, here we have It's such

397
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: an interesting story, isn't you have? Corporal sing A, a

398
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: legal immigrant to this country. He immigrated from Fiji, always

399
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: dreamed of becoming a police officer. He had a five

400
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: month old son, and he joined the police force in Newman,

401
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: California in twenty eleven. I mean, this guy, you know,

402
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: this is who we want in the country. You know,

403
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: I want corporal I want Corporal sings. I want people

404
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: that obey the law, that take real responsibility for themselves

405
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: their communities into their hands, that want to contribute, that

406
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: want to be great Americans. I do not want Perez Ariaga,

407
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: who's in the country illegally with a long rap sheet

408
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: and now as a murderer. Okay, that's who we don't want,

409
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm also important now. I bring this

410
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: up because, yes, federal government employees in this shutdown are hurting,

411
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: and I get that. But seventy thousand plus people ear

412
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: are dying dying from opioid overdoses that are primarily that

413
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: are primarily supplied by these drug cartels. How many thousands

414
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: of people have been in the last five years assaulted, raped, murdered,

415
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: been hit by a drunk driver illegal all from the

416
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: illegal aliens in the country. How many thousands of people

417
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: have suffered life altering or life ending incidents because of

418
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: illegal aliens in the country. Once you start, you know

419
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: this is what government's all about. It's about making difficult decisions.

420
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: It's about weighing the benefits and the costs of different policies.

421
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: This idea that somehow we're going to be able to

422
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: get a border wall with an intransigent open borders radical

423
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: left wing Democrat party without a real fight is a fantasy.

424
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: They want the status quote to continue. They want a

425
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: border that allows people who are not criminal masterminds far

426
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: from it, to be deported and get back into the country.

427
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: Five six, seven, ten times. Who knows they want sanctuary

428
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 1: city policies to continue only in this area, only in

429
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: this area of our law. Is there such a clear

430
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: and obvious double standard. In fact, if you look at

431
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: in a California, it's a really interesting case. And I'll

432
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: talk more about Victor Davis Hansen later on this hour

433
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: and an article that I read that he wrote, I'll

434
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: talk to you about it. But how you know, California

435
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: is essentially this the hyper nanny state with all kinds

436
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: of regulations and environmental protections that everything. But if you

437
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: go into illegal immigrant communities, you're you're you're able either

438
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: people are able to have all kinds of trash on

439
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: their lawn, They're able to park you know, campers in

440
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: their backyard that don't have a permit, and you know,

441
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: all that stuff goes out the window, all that stuff

442
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden is I you know, we can't

443
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: really enforce that, you know, because we're not We're not

444
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: going to burden this community with the crazy laws or

445
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: even the sensible laws of you know, the rest of California.

446
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: I mean, there there are there's a two track legal

447
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: system in place for illegal immigrates for their benefit, and

448
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: the whole situation needs to be reassessed and looked at again. Um,

449
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: I'll have more for you on this right after the break.

450
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: They'll stay with me. Wall is effective, it's a crucial

451
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: part of any kind of border security. Typical argument we

452
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: hear from Democrats that it doesn't make sense, it's too expensive,

453
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: it's medieval. Wait, you know, I'd like to hear some

454
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: reasoning behind that. It's not too expensive. It's point one

455
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: percent of our entire federal budget. Point one percent is

456
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. That's what five billion dollars ends

457
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: up being. So it's really not about the money for them. Well,

458
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: the president's not willing to compromise on or the outcomes.

459
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: I think he's willing to negotiate inputs, whether it's more

460
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: or less wall, more or less fencing, or slats or

461
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: drones or technology. What he's not going to compromise on

462
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: is the safety of the American family or the protection

463
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: of the American economy. That's needed by ensuring that we

464
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: don't just have flows and flows of illegal immigration with

465
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: no ability to manage it, or ensure that it is

466
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: economically beneficial to American citizens. So look, I know who

467
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: the President is negotiating for. I don't really know who

468
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: Democrats are negotiating. Are they really negotiating for illegal immigrants?

469
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: During the final days of Republican control of the House

470
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: of Representatives, we passed a plan that would have kept

471
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: the government open and would have prioritized the safety, security,

472
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: and mc well being of American citizens. So, if Nancy

473
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,479
Speaker 1: and Pelosian Democrats really believe in border security, if they

474
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: want to make sure that we are a nation of laws,

475
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: I'm eager to see their plan. Yeah, what are the

476
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: Democrats really angling for it here? You know, it's worth

477
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: asking that question. Sure that they oppose Trump because they

478
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: just have to, in their eyes, oppose everything Trump does,

479
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: right hashtag resistance. Okay, but the argument doesn't hold up.

480
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: The argument they're making is nonsensible. First of all, as

481
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: we know Democrats before this, the only issue that they

482
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: ever wanted to cut any spending on was the military,

483
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: which is one of the few things the federal government

484
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: does that it really need to do and it's the

485
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: only thing that can do it. So military spending they're

486
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: willing to cut. But when it comes to securing our border,

487
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: then all of us sudden, we find ourselves in this

488
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: position where the Ocrats are cost conscious, their pinching pennies

489
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to the border. That doesn't make any sense.

490
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: This is not a hard people today. I had a

491
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: representative from the federal government federal government employee union come

492
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: on on rising and I asked her she I don't

493
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: think she was prickly fond about told her I used

494
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: to work for the federal government. That didn't help. I

495
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: was an essential employee, so I was funded, didn't matter.

496
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: I didn't have to worry about these things. But I

497
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: told her that, or I asked her, rather, you know,

498
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: why should we even have unions representing the federal government workforce?

499
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: And she looked at me like that was like I

500
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: had three heads, like I was some space alien. And

501
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: I said, you know that at the dawn of unions

502
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: in this country, no less than and then FDR was like,

503
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean public sector unions, that would be crazy. We

504
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: don't need that. That's just going to be essentially a

505
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: legalized form of political theft, you know, corruption and theft

506
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: from the town payer. And that's what it is. By

507
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: the way, that's why you have so many states and

508
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: municipalities that can't balance They can't balance their budgets because

509
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: of the the can the reality of these public sector unions,

510
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: that especially when it comes to benefits and pension plans,

511
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: that's where the real that's where the real juices. They

512
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: just put as much into them as they possibly can.

513
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: It helps Democrats get elected, and it creates this self

514
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: looking ice cream cone of tax tax the taxpayer more

515
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: and take more money for you know, whether it's teachers

516
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: or firemen or whomever. And then they organize and those

517
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: unions push for those Democrats and it just keeps going

518
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: around and around their round. That's why we don't want this.

519
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: But you know, I understand that there are federal government

520
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: employees that are being negatively affected by that's putting aside

521
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: the union point for a moment. They're being negatively impacted,

522
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: and that's that's unfortunate. You know, they didn't do any wrong,

523
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: and many of them are doing their jobs, you know, honorably,

524
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: even valiantly in the case of say border patrol, and

525
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: not getting paid on time or not getting their full pay.

526
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: And I believe they will get back pay. But there's

527
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: there's some some issues here. And the federal government spends

528
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars, trillions of dollars and we're now going

529
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: to be we're being told that this five billion dollars

530
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: for the border is too much. Sure, the President has

531
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: taken responsibility for the shutdown. I know that that's that's

532
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 1: something that is being repeated on all the different news

533
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: broadcast and it's true the press he said it. I mean,

534
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: I can't unsay something on the president's behalf. I can't

535
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: say that he did not make a very clear statement

536
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: of I am responsible, not me. Well, that would be

537
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: kind of cool, buck Sexton. Shutdown the government. No, No,

538
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: President Trump is responsible for the shutdown. But the shutdown

539
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: is happening. You know, you get you get down to

540
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: how can you be responsible for this when all you're

541
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: really saying is go with what the House bill is,

542
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: Fund this, fund this effort to secure the border with

543
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: the wall. As I've said to you, I mean, it's

544
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: not just that they don't want to give into Trump.

545
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: Well that's i'd say sixty or seventy percent of why

546
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: they don't want because they just can't give Trump the wind.

547
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: They can't let Trump keep faith with his base and deliver.

548
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's already keeping faith with his base by fighting,

549
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: but if he delivers on this promise of the wall.

550
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: Then we're in a hole. Then we're in a whole

551
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: different territory in terms of twenty twenty and the president's

552
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: prospects for reelection, right, I think he's a lock. He

553
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: is ironclad if he manages to get this wall built

554
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: in part even. But then there's the other component, which

555
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: is if they if they start to build a wall

556
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: in you know, they can do it the way we

557
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: have it at the San Ya Cedro port of entry.

558
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: You know, Tijuana had a few thousands Tijuana, as you've

559
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: told me, many of you listen to show tell me,

560
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: stop say Tijuana. Tijuana had over two thousand murders last year.

561
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 1: I think was approaching three thousand. Has more murders than

562
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: like the top ten US cities combined one Mexican city

563
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: last year. It's a lot of rough stuff going on

564
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: over there, and the drug war going on in Tijuana

565
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: on the Baja Peninsula. But I digress. They could build

566
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: a wall in one sector where there's a high level

567
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 1: of illegal crossings, where there is road access and an

568
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: urban or semi urban area that really needs a wall

569
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: to short up. And then when they would be able

570
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: to show us in three or six or nine months,

571
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: whatever it is. After that barrier goes up, the precipitous

572
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: drop in illegal crossings, which includes human smuggling, drug smuggling,

573
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: all the other things that the other criminal activity that's

574
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: around illegal crossings of the border, Then what's the Democratic argument,

575
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: We're not going to spend money on this because we

576
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: don't want the border to be secured. Because that's the

577
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: truth of it. They don't want the border to be secure.

578
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: They want the illegals to keep pouring in. They know

579
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: that it puts pressure on the GOP. They know that

580
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: the demographic realities of the United States are being shifted

581
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: in dramatic and rapid fashion toward a permanent Democrat Party majority.

582
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: And this is not not surprising at all that immigrants,

583
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: never mind, the identity politics at the left plays with

584
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: anybody that's considered non a you know, a non white

585
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: or a what is it white, non hispanic, right, anyone

586
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: who's not a white, non hispanic. And then also the

587
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: needs that people have for state assistance, and that's just

588
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: going to keep going up and up and up. And

589
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: there's only one political party that has no qualms at

590
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: all about being the party of big government and a

591
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: big state and that is the Democratic Party, so they

592
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: win on this. I would just note that there's an

593
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: excellent Victor Davis Hansen piece, you guys. You guys all

594
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: know that I really like VDH. But you know, he

595
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: wrote on California, and it's really by the numbers, and

596
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: I think I think it's a new piece. I don't

597
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: think it's an old one that I saw. But he

598
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: just says that this place is maybe it wasn't old

599
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: piece I saw. Well, he lays it on it. He

600
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: writes about California all the time. He's just saying it's

601
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's turning into like a Latin American

602
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: stratified society. Latin American in the sense that it's similar

603
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: to Brazil or any of these countries where the wealth

604
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: gap is enormous, enormous between the rich and the poor,

605
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: and the poor completely dependent on the large esse of

606
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: the rich and there's no middle class. That's what's happening

607
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: in California. But all right, we got to talk about

608
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: this Romney Trump feud that dominated the headlines today. I'll

609
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: give you my important take on that coming up. You

610
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: do not have to be subject to the whims of

611
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,520

00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: is a con man, a fake. He's playing the members

629
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: of the American public for suckers. He gets a free

630
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: ride of the White House and all we get as

631
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: allow as he had. Mit is a failed candidate. He failed,

632
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: He failed horribly. That was a race that absolutely should

633
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: have been one, and I don't know what happened to him.

634
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: He creates scapegoats and Muslims and Mexican immigrants. He calls

635
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: for the use of torture. This is the very brand

636
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: of anger that has led other nations into the abyss.

637
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 1: Portman Romney putman, I mean, I have a store that's

638
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: worth more money than he is. Donald Trump is a phony,

639
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: a fraud because promises are as worthless as a degree

640
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: from Trump University. And he walks like a penguin onto

641
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: the stage. You haven't seen like a penguin. So mid

642
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: Romney and Donald Trump are not bf fine, we don't

643
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: need them to be. We don't care. That doesn't really matter.

644
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: Mid Romney and Donald Trump don't have to get along,

645
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: they don't have to like each other. But they are

646
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: supposed to be playing for the same team. They are

647
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be aligned when it comes to policy and

648
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: implementing a conservative vision for the United States and quite honestly,

649
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: saving this country from falling into the progressive abyss from

650
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: which it will never recover. That's what they should be

651
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: United on and Mit Rammy just won this Senate race

652
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: out in Utah. And I won't try to psychoanalyze too

653
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: much what really motivates Mit at this point other than

654
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, he ran for president, he was governor of Massachusetts.

655
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: Now he's going to be a centator from Utah. I mean,

656
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: you know, America doesn't need Mitt Romney. Look, I think

657
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: Mit Romney would have been I'm on record for this.

658
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: I think he would have been a good president, a

659
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: lot better than Obama. I think he's I think he's

660
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: a pretty ethical guy. He's obviously led an admirable family life,

661
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: and he's been successful in business. And I think there's

662
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: a lot about he's smart, and I think there's a

663
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: lot about Mitt Romney that's good. He's great immigration, by

664
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: the way, And I'm not going to just abandon that

665
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: because right now he's interfewed with Trump. Mitt was good

666
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: on immigration back in twenty twelve. Mit was a big,

667
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: e verified guy. Look, these are just facts. Mitt was

668
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: the self deportation guy. He knows he knows because he

669
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: actually has an understanding of wages in business and how

670
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: a balance sheet works. That, yeah, it hurts low wage

671
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: workers to have just to have all this unskilled, non

672
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: English speaking labor dumped on the country, you know. And

673
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: it hurts the taxpayer too. He knows this. Anybody knows this,

674
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: who thinks about it, even though they are all these

675
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: think tanks. There's a huge open borders industrial complex that

676
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: is telling so much, so many lives. And one of

677
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: my favorites is, oh, well, immigrants, just add to GDP. Yeah,

678
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: that's like saying, you know, more bodies in your house

679
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: means more mouths to feed, so you're gonna have to

680
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: buy more food. Okay, sure, But is that a good thing?

681
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: What about? Yeah? GDP is good in that there's more

682
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: stuff going on, But what is the downside of that

683
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: added GDP? What are we paying out in tax dollars?

684
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 1: What does it mean for our social and political fabric

685
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: and for the assimilation processes we have? Oh, just adds

686
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: to GDP. As you know that, this gets me very

687
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,959
Speaker 1: fired up, and I don't want to go too deep

688
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: down this this rabbit hole. But Mitt was good on immigration,

689
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: but he is bad on Trump as you just heard there.

690
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 1: And his first major public act here at is January first.

691
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: This is published the first day of the new year.

692
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: And so this was planned in advance, and Mit is Look,

693
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: I think MIT's running. Let's just get right to it.

694
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: Let let's call it what it is. I think Mit

695
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: is trying to prepare the groundwork for, you know, for

696
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: him to run as a primary challenger against Trump, and

697
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: he'll just he'll get he'll get crushed. And if he

698
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,479
Speaker 1: doesn't get crushed, and let's just say that he runs

699
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 1: a run some third party candidacy, you know, it goes

700
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: kind of the Ross Pero angle. He's just going to

701
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: hand the presidency to the Democrats? Is that really? You know,

702
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: you start to wonder at what point do the results

703
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: just not matter to the never trumpers because they're so

704
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: in love with their own sense of righteousness and their

705
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: need to be right. At what point is it clear

706
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: that the results just don't matter to them? And when

707
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: I say results, I'm talking with things like do you

708
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: want Do you want people that are going to be

709
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: telling your ten year old that he or she is

710
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: not a he or she but should be able to

711
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: take Cormon therapary before they're even hitting puberty and have

712
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: that mandated in schools as federal policy. You want people

713
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: who think that we're all going to be better off

714
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: if we just give more money to welfare programs and

715
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: more money to the states in order to spend how

716
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: they see fit. You know, take more money. But you

717
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: think we're all gonna better off? You know, does do

718
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: issues of life matter or not? Do we want abortion

719
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: extremists appointed to the Supreme Court and running state legislatures?

720
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: You know these things matter. There are consequences here. It's

721
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: not just oh, well, you know, we need to we

722
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: need to clear out the GOP. We need a cleansing

723
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: of the GOP. I've heard Republicans say this, prominent ones.

724
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: They've told me. I look at them as say, you

725
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: think that the way to win the battle is to

726
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: lose it. That's your grand plan, man, No wonder Obama

727
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: had eight years in office. But mit Romney's first act

728
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: is to right this right this op ed. And he was,

729
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: as we all know, the twenty twelve nominee. And I was.

730
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: I was supportive of him in twenty twelve. I was

731
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: a a mid Romney supporter, no question about it. I

732
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: thought he I thought he just annihilated Obama in the

733
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: first presidential debate. And then Candy Crowley threw herself in

734
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: front of Obama precious Obama to protect him in that

735
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: second debate and kind of turned the tide for him.

736
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,439
Speaker 1: And what's wrong, by the way, and not just wrong

737
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: to do so, but wrong in how she did it,

738
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: meaning she was wrong on the facts. But you know

739
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: the op ed that mid Romney has written here, I

740
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: want to pull it apart a little bit. I want

741
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: to pull it apart a little bit. And here's what

742
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: it says. Quote, the Trump presidency made a deep descent

743
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: in December. First of all, too much alliteration. He needs

744
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: to tell the staff members that wrote this calm down

745
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: with the triple D. Here a deep descent in December.

746
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: The departures of Defense Secretary Jim Mattison, White House Chief

747
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: of Staff John Kelly, the appointment of senior persons of

748
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: lesser experience, the abandonment of allies who fight beside us,

749
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: and the president's thoughtless claim that America has long been

750
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: a sucker in world affairs all defined his presidency down.

751
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: It is well known that Donald Trump was not my

752
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: choice to the Republican presidential nomination. Blah blah blah blah blah.

753
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 1: And he goes in and then I saw these other appointments.

754
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: They're going. Okay, let let's just stop here for a moment.

755
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: Notice how the establishment GOP, what really, it seems has

756
00:43:54,040 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 1: set them off is Trump's deviation from their prescribed foreign policy.

757
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: You know, what really is just too much for them

758
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: to handle is this idea that Trump does not have

759
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: to play by the foreign policy rules that they have

760
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: set out, you know, that he does not have to

761
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: approach this as they would. Now, there's a lot to this.

762
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: One is that the the elite GOP types, they they

763
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: think of foreign policy as a realm where they they

764
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: separate themselves intellectually and experientially from the Hoi POLOI. You

765
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: need to be a certain kind of Republican to be

766
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: a well traveled and worldly enough to really understand the

767
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: ins and outs of foreign policy. You know. Meanwhile, I'd

768
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: much rather hear from people who have served in the

769
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: war zones and really know the ground truth about what's

770
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: going on in Rock and Afghanistan than all these very

771
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: arrogant neocon think tank types who just keep saying that

772
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: what we're doing is working. When it's not working. It's

773
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: not working Afghanistan, it is not working. Okay, And we

774
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: could talk more about Iraq. I think the Iraqis. You know,

775
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: here's something you've heard here. I should probably mark this

776
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: down as a prediction. And where everyone's acting like, oh,

777
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: with Iraq, it's all about what the US wants to do.

778
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: I think the Iraqis are going to kick us out

779
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,439
Speaker 1: in the not too distant future. They want us out.

780
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: There are people that are saying, this is why it's

781
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 1: not South Korea, this is why it's not Germany. They

782
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: don't want us there. They actually want us to leave,

783
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, in the Iraqi problem, and all all the

784
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: idiots that were by the way, I was getting so

785
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: many people yelling me about about Syria, and you know,

786
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: I'll get into that a moment. But all all these

787
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: people they don't know the first thing about what's going

788
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: on are They don't know how many Sodrists meaning supporters

789
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: of Maktada Alsader there are in the Iraqi parliament. Soder

790
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: was a guy that we should have taken out with

791
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 1: a jadeam a decade ago. And he's a really bad

792
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: dude with a lot of American soldiers blood on his hands.

793
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: And his part is party within the Iraqi system, so

794
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, it is the most powerful party right now

795
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: in the Parliament in terms of seats. Even this is

796
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: whatever gets discussed though, this reality of oh Romney and

797
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: these other goop folks that they act like they understand

798
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: these things so well. They've made a mess, a mess

799
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: of the Middle East for decades, for decades, for as

800
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: long as I've been you know, out of college, these

801
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: guys have just been mucking things up left and right.

802
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: And it's just interesting that that this is what sets

803
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: them off that Trump is debating from them a foreign policy,

804
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 1: because I think that deep down there's a real concern

805
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: that the Bush era elite GOP folks, um the you know,

806
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: the advisors and the and the so called experts, they

807
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: don't want everyone to realize how poorly they acquitted themselves

808
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: when they were when they were in power. I mean

809
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: it goes to that question. Obama was a disaster. The

810
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: Obama's foreign policy can just be described as unserious. I mean,

811
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: this is not what people that understand the world would do.

812
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: And that's true of his advisors, the true of his

813
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: approach to Iran, It's true of his dithering on SI.

814
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: You know, Obama just had the ability to sit back,

815
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: do nothing, and how the media call him brilliant because

816
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: he's so contemplative. It was a joke. But the Bush people,

817
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, the neo conservative types, you know rip Weekly Standard,

818
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 1: they do not have a good record on this stuff.

819
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: And I think they're particularly touchy about it because they

820
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: don't want there to be a full accounting for just

821
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: how wrong they've been. But then Romney goes into you know,

822
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: let me, I'm gonna come back into this labe. We'll

823
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: do more of this Romney op ed and I'll explain

824
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: where I am on this. And I think it's important.

825
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: Some of this dominated the news cycle, and the border

826
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: to me and the Wall is so much more important

827
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 1: than this feud with Romney and Trump, but it does

828
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: illustrate him interesting dynamics when the GOP will be right

829
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: back with this. But Romney's a freshman senator, so I'm

830
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: not sure he's only a top pro publican because he

831
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: was once the nominee and lost. I think eighty or

832
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: eighty five percent of the party supports Trump. I think

833
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where mid Romney's trying to accomplish. Well.

834
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: I wish it could be more of a team player.

835
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 1: You know. I'm surprised he did it this quickly. I

836
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: was expecting something, but I was surprised he did it

837
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: this quickly. And you know, look, I endorsed him. He

838
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: thanked me very previously. It was very nice. But I

839
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: am surprised because we've done a lot and he actually

840
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: says it. I read his uped. He said it. You know,

841
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: he agrees, and I don't think he would be able.

842
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would have been able to do

843
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 1: the tax cuts like I did. We got the greatest

844
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: tax cuts ever. There's a very important little point that

845
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: President Trump slipped in there about mid Romney after he

846
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: comes out metaphorically guns blazing with this op ed, and

847
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: it's that Romney sought Trump's indorsement. So just so we

848
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: are all clear, Romney trashes Trump when Trump is running

849
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: and then asks Trump for what we believe, the secretary

850
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: of State job when Trump wins, and then asks Trump

851
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: for his indorsement and wants his endorsement when he's running

852
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: for Senate in Utah. And now his first thing is

853
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: he comes out and trashes Trump. You know a lot

854
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: of this op ed. I haven't gotten to this part

855
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: of it yet. This op ed that Romney or his

856
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 1: staff wrote, and it's the typical politician boilered plate about

857
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, our allies and our standing in the world

858
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,240
Speaker 1: and blah blah. But this stuff has no real meaning.

859
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't tell you anything. America

860
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: should be good. Thanks, I guess, I guess you've solved

861
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,399
Speaker 1: all the riddles. You know, a miracle should not be bad.

862
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: Thank you. We understand what does that mean? But the

863
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: part of this I find so interesting is Romney really

864
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: focuses in on how character is essential, how character is

865
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: such an important defining characteristic for the presidency. And you know,

866
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: he even says that in the in the titles here,

867
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: the president shapes that the public character of the nation.

868
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: Trump's character falls short. What kind of character does somebody

869
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: have who has no loyalty to those whom he asks

870
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: for favors and for help? You know. One of the

871
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: reasons why there have been plenty of times where I

872
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: could have and look at it probably has hurt my

873
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: career that I don't go after people more, including on

874
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 1: my own side. It probably you know, I would get

875
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: more attention, which this business is obsessed with attention if

876
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: I would just the moment, you know, I think somebody's

877
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: down and vulnerable that you know I don't particularly like

878
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 1: in this business, I give them a kick. Or even

879
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: if I do like them, I just know that you

880
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna pile on when they're at their weakest.

881
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: But as I say to you, I don't. For me,

882
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: it's a question of honor. I do own trash friends

883
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: on air, and I also don't trash people that have

884
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: have been allies of mine. You know, I believe in

885
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: personal I believe in person an a loyalty over professional advancement.

886
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: So what does what does Mit think he's doing here?

887
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: When he asks Trump's for jobs, asked Trump for help,

888
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: I know he'd probably said, oh well, I would. I

889
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: would be serving the American people at the pleasure of

890
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: the president. And Mid clearly has a very high opinion

891
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: of himself, and I don't think it's completely without merit.

892
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: I think I do think he's talented. I'm not going

893
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: to pretend that I'm some Mid hater. I'm not a

894
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: Mid hater. I wish he had been president. I early

895
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: in my career was pushing for Mid to beat Obama,

896
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 1: but it just was I mean, it was never gonna happen.

897
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: It's just the Obama phenomenon, and with the media just

898
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 1: running running cover for him in every way, and the

899
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 1: deck was so stacked against Romney. You know, I think

900
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: he did. People now say, oh, he did a terrible job,

901
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: he's a bad candidate. I think he actually a pretty

902
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: pretty decent job all things considered him. Go back and

903
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: watch that first debate. It was you know, It's why

904
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: I realized debates don't matter all that much because Obama

905
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: just was was smacked around by Romney on that stage.

906
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: It didn't matter, didn't matter. So but this idea of character,

907
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: I also I have a disagreement with a lot of

908
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: my fellow conservatis, including conservatives I really like and that

909
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: I really respect, you know, people at you know, National

910
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: Review and people that I used to work with even

911
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: at The Blaze, who are very anti Trump and really

912
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: think that his character is truly deficient. I don't. I

913
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: don't refute their specific criticisms of the president. I think

914
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: that would be foolish. I mean, I don't think that

915
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: it's unfair to say the plea the president flies off

916
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: the handle and over personalizes things and can be petty

917
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: and all that. I think that's just objective reality. In

918
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: a lot of cases. That said, I also don't take

919
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: my moral cues from the President of the United States,

920
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: and I haven't in a long time. This is a

921
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: guy doing a job. That's it. I don't view this as, oh,

922
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, my children need to emulate the president the

923
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: United States because was that the case under Clinton? Was

924
00:52:55,239 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 1: that the case under Nixon? Johnson? JFK LBJ Well, I

925
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: guess already said Johnson. Never mind, you add people like

926
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: Woodrow Wilson in the mix, and then you're like, oh,

927
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: Woodrow Wilson, former President the United States. Huge racist, I

928
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: mean real racist, I mean supporting the clan, thinking people

929
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: of different skin color are less than racist. Racist, like

930
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: the real kind of worst racist in president United States.

931
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: There's a big building named after him at Princeton, a

932
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: whole school named after him at Princeton for international relations

933
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: no less, you know, mister League of Nations. That worked

934
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: out great. So I don't. I don't agree with this

935
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,439
Speaker 1: idea that the president is this kind of moral leader. First,

936
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: and I also think that and this is where Romney

937
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: really loses people. All of a sudden, we're supposed to

938
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: care that Europeans don't really like him. You know, he

939
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: brought this up. You know, in this Pew research poll,

940
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 1: how people eighty four percent of people used to think

941
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: in Germany, Britain, France, Sweden, the American president would do

942
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: the right thing, and now it's only sixteen percent. Here's

943
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: what Trump said about that play fourteen when they say

944
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm not popular in Europe. I shouldn't be popular in Europe.

945
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: If I was popular in Europe, I wouldn't be doing

946
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: my job because I want Europe to pay. I don't

947
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: care about Europe. I'm not elected by Europeans. I'm elected

948
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: by Americans that had presidents and other people within administrations

949
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: in the past that allowed them to get anyway. Like

950
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:24,919
Speaker 1: some of them would say, well, no one ever asked

951
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 1: us to pay. We have negotiations going on with numerous

952
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,439
Speaker 1: countries right now. Is it to pay a lot? From's

953
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,399
Speaker 1: essential point here is why the heck should he care

954
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: what the European populations think about him. He's not the

955
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: president of Europe. He's a president of America. This is

956
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: a revolutionary concept in this country. Apparently, here's one of

957
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 1: these stories that as soon as I read it, I

958
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: think to myself, these should get ten times the attention.

959
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 1: Then it will. But for a whole bunch of reasons

960
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: that I'm about to go into. It will be largely

961
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: glossed over or ignored. It and it ties into too

962
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: many things that we're discussing, and now ties into the

963
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: fifth columnist Republicans who do the work of the left

964
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: from inside the party and pretend that it's because they're

965
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: so moral and so ethical, But as we've discussed with Romney,

966
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: it's really just all about advancing their own very narrow,

967
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: very immediate self interests. You know, they decide it. They're

968
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: so worthy and decent and honorable when it's useful for

969
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: them to bash Trump, But sometimes they don't need to

970
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: bash Trump, so then they don't really care. I mean,

971
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, they go back and forth on this. It's

972
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: not really about maintaining or enforcing a set of principles.

973
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: It's just opportunism masquerading as being principled. And let me

974
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: say before I get into this, and I know I'm

975
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 1: keeping you on the edge here with what this new

976
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 1: story is. It's important, it's it's big. Let me say that,

977
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, the elites, and especially the elites within the GOP,

978
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 1: because that's still a thing. They're still there, They're still

979
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: behind the scenes and still involved very much. They're just

980
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: not openly running things the way they were before Trump

981
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: came along. They think, and Romney among them, that they

982
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: have to remind us of President Trump's ethical and personal

983
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: failings as if we don't know. And there's a lot

984
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: of condescension in that. I know about Trump's failings. Okay,

985
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 1: I know about the three wives, and I know about

986
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: the porn star payoffs, and I know about all and

987
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: we know whether you believe he did that or not,

988
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 1: and you know, I kind of go back and forth

989
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 1: on some of the aspects of that, but uh, you know,

990
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: clearly this was a guy who was a philanderer, and

991
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, I get all that, and look, no one's

992
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: no one is perfect, and that shouldn't be you know,

993
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: you don't want to say that, well, you know, you know,

994
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: Saddam Hussein, nobody's perfect, and then that can't just be

995
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: a catch all that you use for everything. But we're

996
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: not talking about somebody who did unpardonable and horrific, you know,

997
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: murderous things. But I'm a guy that he's imperfect. He's

998
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: a playboy, and I think that well, but we all

999
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: know this, and that's why when the Romneys of their

1000
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 1: GOP come forward and say this to us, It says,

1001
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: though they think we need to be told that because

1002
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: we're either so much less principle than them, that we

1003
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: need to be scolded into caring, or that maybe we

1004
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: just are so out of touch, out of the loop,

1005
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: that we don't know. Well. I would just like to

1006
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: assure Romney and the rest that we know we know

1007
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: about the allegations and the realities of Trump's failings. It's

1008
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: that we also know that we want somebody who can

1009
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: serve an agenda that will benefit the American people, and

1010
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: that is a righteous and just agenda effectively, and that

1011
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: means that you've got to be able to engage in

1012
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: the messy, nasty game of politics. Okay, here's speaking of

1013
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: all that. This was on Fox News today. An associate

1014
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: of the late Arizona Republican Senator John McCain shared with

1015
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: BuzzFeed News a copy of the unverified, sellacious opposition research

1016
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: dossier alleging that Russians had compromising material on President Trump,

1017
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: according to a federal court filing earlier today. Now, McCain

1018
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: had on numerous occasions denied being the source for BuzzFeed.

1019
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: Remember BuzzFeed was the first one CNN reported on the

1020
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: existence of the dossier. BuzzFeed actually published the dossier, and

1021
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,919
Speaker 1: now there are court cases about the legality of BuzzFeed's

1022
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: decision to do that, because, as we know, there were

1023
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: some falsehoods in there. Michael Cohen traveling to Prague and others.

1024
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: And this is the pp dossier. I mean, this is

1025
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: the Golden Showers the President United States. It's just look,

1026
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,479
Speaker 1: I don't know how else to describe it. I gotta

1027
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: tell you what it is. I know, look, I know

1028
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: it's gross, but this is disgraceful that this was briefed.

1029
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if I were still in the CIA and

1030
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: I found out that the DNI or the FBI director

1031
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: had taken some APO Hillary Clinton d NC paid for

1032
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: APO research document full of you know, third hand garbage

1033
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: Russian sourcing, and briefly to the President United States and

1034
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: what was essentially a blackmail operation. I remember, Comey wanted

1035
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: to keep his job, right, so Comy presents this to Trump.

1036
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: Wanted to suck up to him a little bit, but also,

1037
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, because you got to be the one to

1038
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: break the news to him, but also to let him know,

1039
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: but we've got this on you. You know, this is

1040
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: out there. And then CNN somehow knew about this and

1041
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: was able to report on how it was briefed and

1042
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: it was essentially a form of laundering the dossier. Well,

1043
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: what we find out today from and we only found

1044
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: out about it because of this court filing, is that

1045
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: associates of John McCain, associates of John McCain, one in

1046
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: particularist Guy Kramer, allegedly passed along the dossier to the media.

1047
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Now McCain, John McCain passed it on to the FBI,

1048
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: which you can decide for yourself whether that was wise

1049
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: or necessary under the circumstances. I mean, remember, this is

1050
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: just this is essentially a collection. This is a collection

1051
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: of rumors. There's no verification, no sourcing, no nothing on it,

1052
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: and a lot of it has actually been disproven or

1053
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: is unable to be proven, which in this case should

1054
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: be taken as nearly the same thing. And now we're

1055
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: being told that a McCabe associate, I mean sorry, a

1056
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 1: McCain associate was the one who made sure that the

1057
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: media had this to run with against Trump. We have

1058
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: we have to deal with friendly fire in the GOP

1059
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: in a way that Democrats just don't. And it's really pathetic.

1060
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: You know, we have to as conservatives, as Republicans, we

1061
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: always have to be ready for yet another person from

1062
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: within our own rank ranks to just shank a fellow

1063
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,919
Speaker 1: Republican when nobody's looking, with an editorial, with a TV

1064
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: news appearance, or in this case, you know, behind the scenes,

1065
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: just to do it when nobody's looking. And Democrats just

1066
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: don't have this the same way. I mean, yes, you could,

1067
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: you could say that, you know, with Hillary and with

1068
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: Hillary and Bernie, that was unfair, but they weren't. They

1069
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: weren't destroying Bernie's political career always and forever. They just

1070
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 1: wanted Hillary to win. I'm not saying that justifies it,

1071
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 1: but it's different. This was spiked. This isn't somebody trying

1072
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: to run. Yeah, people run hard against candidates because they

1073
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: want to win races. This is somebody on my own team.

1074
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: A Republican is the only person that's going to prevent

1075
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton from appointing a whole bunch of Ruth Bader

1076
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: Ginsburg clones the Supreme Court. The only person is going

1077
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: to save us from another eight years of Democrat misrule.

1078
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: And this is John McCain's people, and I'm sure with

1079
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: John McCain's full knowledge and consent passing along damaging oppo

1080
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: research to just to just to smear Trump. And I

1081
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: know they're gonna say, oh, it's it's you know, it's

1082
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: for the country, it's for patriotism. That's why, you know.

1083
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: And John McCain always because military service, we're supposed to

1084
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 1: say everything that he did was was great. No. I

1085
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: refused to play that game. His military service was great

1086
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: and honorable. What he does after that fair game for

1087
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: us to talk about. And he did a lot of

1088
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: things that were really just about him. It was really

1089
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: just about sticking his thumb in the eye of those

1090
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: who were overshadowing the greatness of John McCain from within

1091
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: his own party. There's no question that the Russians are

1092
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: a problem. We've known this a long time. The Russian

1093
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: government is not a friend of the United States, and

1094
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: there are very real concerns that we should all share

1095
01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: about what the Russians are trying to do visa Americans

1096
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: and American interests. I don't get nearly as energized as

1097
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: many on the left to about all things Russia, because

1098
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: for them, it's just a it's gotten tied up in

1099
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: this whole narrative of why Hillary didn't win and it's

1100
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: because Russia stole the election and all this other nonsense,

1101
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: this fantasy that they have concocted. But that doesn't mean

1102
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,479
Speaker 1: that there is no problem with Russia. And we've seen

1103
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 1: yet another instance of this where an American who was

1104
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: in Russia to attend a wedding, an American named Paul Whalen,

1105
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: who's a US citizen, is now being held by the

1106
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: Russian government. He's being held in the Leffertovo Prison, which,

1107
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: as I understand, is a pretty hellish place, and he

1108
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: just got a visit, well, he got a visit from

1109
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: a US ambassador of Russia, John Huntsman, and the ambassador saying, look,

1110
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: we're going to get our guy out. I mean, this

1111
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: is I'm sure it's all nonsense, and the Russians are

1112
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: just doing this just because this is just a Russian

1113
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: thing to do, like to rub our noses and things.

1114
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: I'd like to cause problems where there are no problems.

1115
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: And obviously the lie about people, to lie about this

1116
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: man's activities, and you know, I don't know why they

1117
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: chose to grab him, but they've clearly grabbed this guy.

1118
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: And you know, it's it's one of these moments where

1119
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: you you got to remember that one part of us

1120
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: that you know that that should feel like we're all

1121
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: united in is we want the US government when you're

1122
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: traveling abroad, you want the US government to really go

1123
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: to bat for you and go to bat for its people. Uh.

1124
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: And you know, and when you're dealing with countries like

1125
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: Russia and China, you know, we've got leverage, but we don't.

1126
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 1: We don't get to dictate to them. We have to coax, cajole, bargain, negotiate,

1127
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, threaten a little bit. But it's it's not

1128
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: an easy dance. And I certainly hope that we're able

1129
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: to get this guy Whalen out of prison soon. His brother,

1130
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: David Whalen wrote on Twitter that to quote, my brother

1131
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: was detained by the Russian government as an alleged spy.

1132
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: And you know it's just Whalen was a Marine Corps

1133
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,439
Speaker 1: So not only we got an American that's being held,

1134
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 1: but a Marine Corps vet. He was in the Marine

1135
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: Corp from ninety two thousand and eight, deployed to a

1136
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: rock twice, was a staff sergeant, and he was discharged

1137
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: for bad conduct on charges related to larceny. It says,

1138
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: but look, he served his country and um, you know

1139
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: this just in no way, in no way does this

1140
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: strike me as anything other than the Russians trying to

1141
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: thumb their nose at us. They grabbed this guy, you know,

1142
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: just because I know that seemed so weird. Why were

1143
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,920
Speaker 1: the Russians random the grab? They decided to grab somebody

1144
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: and they're holding him, um on BS on BS allegations

1145
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: and CNN. You'd think though, you know, and this is

1146
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: what what really got me all fired up. You think

1147
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: that here, here we got an American, a former marine.

1148
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: I know he was son it will be discharged, but

1149
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: you know he's a former marine. Would employ do a

1150
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: rock twice? All right? The guy made some mistakes, but

1151
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 1: he also served his country and you know he wore

1152
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: the uniform and you know, carried a rifle and showed up,

1153
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, showed up for his country when it mattered.

1154
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: You know, he he should expect that. The journalists, right,

1155
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: the same journalist where I was like, oh my gosh,

1156
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: it's so scary to be a journalist now and oh,

1157
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: Trump is destroying the First Amendment at all. You know,

1158
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: they're always whining about something Trump related, and they're always

1159
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: looking for solidarity with each other. Oh, you know, Trump

1160
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: is destroying journalism. You think that when there's an American

1161
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: being held unjustly in Russia, there would the focus would

1162
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: just be on telling the story and letting the American

1163
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: people know what's going on, but also that we need

1164
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on this and pressure our government

1165
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: representatives to get our guy back. You know, we want

1166
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: our guy back. This We're not dealing with North Korea here, okay.

1167
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: You know, we don't expect the Russian regime to act

1168
01:06:55,760 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: like total psychopaths, although sometimes they can. And yet CNN,

1169
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: I mean you, you can't make this stuff up. CNN

1170
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: decided to to poke it and they got this guy's

1171
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: brother on TV and they ask, I can't you know what?

1172
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: I just want you to hear it. Remember, this guy's

1173
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: being held in a prison. Who knows if he's ever

1174
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: going to see us soil, see his family again. Who

1175
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: knows if he's gonna, you know, face the same fate

1176
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: as you know some of the other folks that the

1177
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: Russians have decided to go after and they've just you know,

1178
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: they look, people get beaten to death in Russian prisons,

1179
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: they get stabbed, and the Russians say, oh, we had

1180
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: no idea. I mean, terrible things happened in Russian prisons

1181
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: all the time. And CNN decides to ask the brother

1182
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: of this detained American former marine about social media posts

1183
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: about CNN. Play it. He had this social media account,

1184
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: the equivalent in Russia of Facebook. It's called VK and

1185
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 1: he's had it for thirteen years, and he had various

1186
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 1: postings on their pictures of him in Russia. I think

1187
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: the first one that we have is where he took

1188
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: like sort of rust and relaxation. Well, here's one. I

1189
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: wasn't planning to go to this one yet, but let's

1190
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: talk about this one. Here's one where he says just

1191
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 1: drinking coffee and watching fake news. Now I'm not taking

1192
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: this personally that he's pictured with CNN, but I just

1193
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: am wondering, is this a statement on his part somehow?

1194
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: What the heck does that have to do with anything?

1195
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 1: This guy is in a Russian prison on trumped up

1196
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: nonsense charges, you know, about being an alleged spy. Complete,

1197
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: complete crap, and you know who, his family must be

1198
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: absolutely horrified, terrified, And his brother is on with CNN

1199
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: the gold standard and TV journalism, which is a joke.

1200
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: And you have a CNN anchor saying, well, I'd really

1201
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 1: like to know you know, here I am standing in

1202
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 1: front your brother, standing in front of a photo calling

1203
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: CNN fake news? Did he call CNN fake news? You

1204
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: know what, there's a lot of fake news on CNN.

1205
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 1: CNN is a lie. CNN is a lie. Let's start

1206
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: from that. It is not an objective news organization, period

1207
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 1: full stop. It's all about laundering liberalism for people who

1208
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 1: are pathetically attached to this idea that they their version

1209
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 1: of events, their version of the news is just the truth.

1210
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: It's just objective journalism. It's not left wing propaganda. And

1211
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 1: CNN still tries to operate in this this ground that

1212
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: is a lie. It tries to hold this position on

1213
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: the news spectrum that is just no longer tenable. But

1214
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 1: think about this, this story. Is this they're going to

1215
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: ask about about whether he called sn in FA news?

1216
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 1: Does that mean that they don't want to tell his

1217
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: story anymore? Does that mean that now we don't have

1218
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: an American being held by Russian thugs that we need

1219
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: to be concerned about because because he said a mean

1220
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 1: thing about CNN, is that where we should take away

1221
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 1: from this. I just want to know why this overpaid,

1222
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 1: pompous CNN anchor is pushing on this issue to his brother.

1223
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I just put myself in this guy's shoes.

1224
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:22,719
Speaker 1: If one of my brothers, God forbid, I've got two brothers,

1225
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 1: two of the greatest guys you'd ever meet. If one

1226
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: of my brothers was being held by a foreign power

1227
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: and I was being interviewed in my capacity as a

1228
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: as a family member of somebody detained by that foreign power,

1229
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,600
Speaker 1: and and CNN was like, well, is it is it

1230
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 1: true that you wrote that CNN is fake news? I mean,

1231
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: I'd probably start dropping f bombs on live air, you know,

1232
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, how dare you? And this is why people

1233
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 1: this is why people don't trust They don't trust CNN.

1234
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 1: They don't like CNN. Only people that still that for

1235
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: their own purposes so that they feel smart, that they

1236
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: feel like they're part of the elite in cool set.

1237
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 1: You know. Oh yeah, CNN, that's real journalism, Yeah really, yeah.

1238
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: Don Lemon is a real journalist. Idiot. You know, Bro Cuomo,

1239
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: Hey do I live Bro? You know he's a real journalist.

1240
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: He's the biggest draw they have right now for ratings.

1241
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I give him credit. He somehow pulled off this.

1242
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. He's there's this swindle into

1243
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 1: think of the people that into convincing people that they

1244
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: should watch this guy as some kind of a source

1245
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: for news. I don't know. But yeah, CNN, we got

1246
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 1: an American former marine detained and CNN wants to know

1247
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 1: if he committed the unpardonable sin of calling CNN fake

1248
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: news on his Russian social media account. Wow, it's a

Speaker 1: see you. Oh gosh, yeah, who do we have here?

1276
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 1: It's brutal, folks, It's brutal. Elizabeth Warren has you know,

1277
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: put out this this little video of her just I'm

1278
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 1: just gonna get me a beer because I'm just like you.

1279
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm just a Bruski drinking American, and I have no

1280
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: baggage that I bring to this whole thing at all.

1281
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 1: It's all great. Oh man, she has kicked off her

1282
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 1: presidential campaign. She's one of the earlier ones here to

1283
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: throw her her hat in the ring, so to speak.

1284
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 1: And everyone's looking at this and they're just saying, Wow,

1285
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: she's she I just think she has no chance. I

1286
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 1: don't know why she's wasting her time or everyone else's time.

1287
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,719
Speaker 1: Maybe it's necessary for her to feel like she's still

1288
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: relevant in some way. You know. It's even though she

1289
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: knows she can't win, she's going to have some kind

1290
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 1: of an ill fated presidential campaign because she figures, you know,

1291
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 1: might as well go for it. But just this is

1292
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 1: someone who does not have the ability to easily connect

1293
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: with average Americans because she's someone who's built a career

1294
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: on fraud, really, which is what took place at Harvard.

1295
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean, people that say that she's some great intellectual,

1296
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 1: they always say, well, it's because she was a professor

1297
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: at Harvard. Well, she was only professor at Harvard because

1298
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:56,719
Speaker 1: she claimed to be a minority Native American professor, and

1299
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 1: as we found out from her one one twenty fourth

1300
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: Native American DNA result, she's not in any meaningful way

1301
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,640
Speaker 1: a Native American. And I can just say that I

1302
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: think the President has it nailed here when he says, well,

1303
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 1: this is what he said about Elizabeth Warren running Clay

1304
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 1: clip bit, Elizabeth Warren will be the first. She did

1305
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:24,800
Speaker 1: very badly in proving that she who is of Indian heritage.

1306
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: That didn't work out too well. You know, we'll see

1307
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 1: how she does. I wish her well. I hope she

1308
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 1: does well. I'd love to run against her. She says

1309
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 1: she's in the fight all the way. Mister president, do

1310
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 1: you do you really think she believes she can win?

1311
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 1: Well that, I don't know. You'd have to ask her psychiatrist. Yeah,

1312
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 1: I don't even think she believes she can win. But

1313
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: there are lots of reasons people run for the presidency

1314
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: even when they know that they have no shot. The biggest,

1315
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:55,680
Speaker 1: most obvious and unnecessary own goal I think I've ever

1316
01:15:55,720 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 1: seen in American politics was the fiasco of her of

1317
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 1: her DNA results. I've never seen anything like that. Nobody

1318
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:06,640
Speaker 1: was there was no clamor for the results. Nobody was

1319
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 1: pushing to hear or see the results. And whomever I

1320
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: think it should be made public record, whomever on her

1321
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 1: advisory staff or whatever it is, whoever told her that's

1322
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: a good idea that that person it should be known

1323
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 1: so that nobody ever takes political Actually, don't forget that.

1324
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 1: We want as many Democrats as possible to listen to

1325
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 1: that person's That's a much better way to go about this.

1326
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 1: That's a much better way forward. So we'll see what

1327
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 1: ends up happening. Elizabeth Warren. Also, I saw this guy

1328
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: who is it in a Washington State The governor of

1329
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: Washington State is going to be running for president. He

1330
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: also put his he put Jay Insley, he put his name.

1331
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 1: I had never even heard of this guy. I would

1332
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 1: think it's funny. People say, Buck, you cover politics, how

1333
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,680
Speaker 1: could you not have heard of you know, state assemblyman

1334
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: so and so or even Congressmen so and something like.

1335
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of these people, and most of them

1336
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 1: are not particularly relevant or important. Jay Insley, the governor

1337
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 1: of Washington State, it's going to be running. And this

1338
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 1: is what I think is so fascinating. He's a single

1339
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: a single focus candidate, according to the press reports out

1340
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: on him already, he's somebody who who really believes that

1341
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: there's only one thing that we have to pay attention to,

1342
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: or one thing you should pay attention to, and why

1343
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: you should vote for him, And who wants who wants

1344
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 1: to guess what it is? Is it the twenty two

1345
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: trillion dollars in death that we've piled up? Is it

1346
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 1: that America is? As I've started to read in a

1347
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: book by Charles Murray, Coming Apart, Coming Apart, we no

1348
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:50,160
Speaker 1: longer have a shared culture between the various political ideologies,

1349
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 1: and we also actively are encouraged to hate each other

1350
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 1: for our political differences by the media, by the elites. No,

1351
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: it's none of those things, that's right. This single issue

1352
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:04,759
Speaker 1: focus of his campaign of Washington State Governor Jay Ensley's

1353
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:13,200
Speaker 1: campaign will be climate change. Oh yes, climate change. It

1354
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 1: really is an amazing state of affairs when you can

1355
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 1: have one political party in this country that takes the

1356
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 1: position that the single most important issue that we face,

1357
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 1: the most important thing of all, is something that the

1358
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: other side does not even concede is a little bit important,

1359
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, just a just a tad important. Bernie Sanders

1360
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, because that's what I would say. Yeah, the

1361
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,559
Speaker 1: climate has changing, the climate has always been changing, is

1362
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's humanity playing a role in this. Is

1363
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: human behavior involved in some way and in accelerating the

1364
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 1: climate change? Maybe, But as I say, it's the same

1365
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:58,640
Speaker 1: you get the same answer for me if if I said, uh,

1366
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 1: you know, if I walk into Yankee Stadium, or let's

1367
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 1: do a coverage state, if I walked into Dallas Cowboys Stadium?

1368
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 1: Have I changed the temperature of the stadium? I mean,

1369
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:13,600
Speaker 1: theoretically it's it's imperceptible, right, but my body heat, I

1370
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 1: am another person in that stadium, and depends on I guess,

1371
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 1: on on how how effectively and at what level you

1372
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 1: could gauge the you know, that's what I mean. You know,

1373
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 1: have you changed the temperature of a swimming pool by

1374
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 1: pouring you know, a cup of hot tea into one end?

1375
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 1: Kind of? But not really? Have human beings changed the

1376
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: temperature of the globe in a meaningful way? I think

1377
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 1: the answers must certainly know. Anyway, I don't have to

1378
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 1: get into all that right now because the other side

1379
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 1: is just nuts looney tunes. Here's Bernie Sanders and I'll

1380
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 1: read it to you in sender knees. We must look

1381
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,799
Speaker 1: at climate change as if it were a devastating military

1382
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: attack against the United States and the entire planet, and

1383
01:19:56,920 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: we must respond accordingly. End quote. He put that out

1384
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:04,799
Speaker 1: on Twitter last night. We should respond to climate change

1385
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:08,679
Speaker 1: as if it were a devastating military attack. I don't

1386
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 1: know if if he thinks that we need to nuke

1387
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: the climate, or if we're supposed to unleash our b

1388
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 1: one bombers on the coal industry. And I don't even

1389
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: know what he thinks he's trying to say. And this

1390
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 1: got thousands and thousands, tens of thousands of likes and retweets,

1391
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 1: and people just think it's it's it's brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

1392
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 1: And then you have that that complete fraudster who's going

1393
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 1: to be making a big comeback this year, that fraudster

1394
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: known as Oh Gore. He's back and he's trying to

1395
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: push once again for well, his favorite pet issue. He

1396
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: was on the Daily Show. Here, I'll play it for you.

1397
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: There's an interesting report that came out last month from

1398
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 1: the UN, and in many ways I feel like Trump

1399
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 1: is using this as a arguments. It basically predicted, you know,

1400
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: hell on Earth, and it talked about how things are

1401
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:09,599
Speaker 1: really going bad. But but the emissions gap was really interesting.

1402
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:12,280
Speaker 1: That was released yesterday by the United Nations. Yeah, and

1403
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:14,480
Speaker 1: what they said is the G twenty countries are collectively

1404
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 1: not on track to meet their unconditional emissions pledges for

1405
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 1: twenty thirty. So countries that are not on track to

1406
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:24,639
Speaker 1: make it include Argentina, Australia, Canada, the EU twenty eight, Korea,

1407
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:28,560
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the US right. Yeah, and

1408
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 1: the EU right. So now Trump is arguing, if nobody

1409
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 1: else is meeting their requirements, why should the US put

1410
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: themselves at a disadvantage and you know, lose money and

1411
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:43,560
Speaker 1: work with regulations, yes, when the rest world is not

1412
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: going to come to the table. Yeah. Well, first of all,

1413
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 1: since the end of World War Two, there's been one

1414
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: leader of the Community of Nations, and that has been

1415
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 1: the United States of America. If we add our leadership role,

1416
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: then that lets some of the other country is off

1417
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 1: the hook. We really need it is the reassertion of

1418
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: US leadership and the good news. Leaders have the solutions available.

1419
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,839
Speaker 1: We don't need any miraculous news. We have the logical brooch.

1420
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:15,679
Speaker 1: You've got one, fine, we'll take it all right, which

1421
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 1: is just the same. It's the same crap from this guy,

1422
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 1: different day. Nothing changes. And this is the biggest this

1423
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 1: is the biggest scam ever. Go back and just you

1424
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: don't have to take my workfare. Go back and watch

1425
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 1: an Inconvenient Truth and you'll be like, this is laughable.

1426
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 1: The thing could and look at the date and time stamp,

1427
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 1: so these different models they have of you know what,

1428
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, Florida underwater by you know, twenty thirty or

1429
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I mean, go back and look at this.

1430
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,640
Speaker 1: The predictions in that movie are laughable, and now we

1431
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 1: know they're laughable, but we're still supposed to think that

1432
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 1: this is going to happen in their right. I don't

1433
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 1: know what it is that it's going to take for

1434
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:53,879
Speaker 1: people to finally give up this uh, this this delusion.

1435
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean that the climate change alarmists are living in

1436
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 1: a delusion. And there's a lot of day we talked

1437
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: about everyone's everyone's been bought off by big cole. Think

1438
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: about green energy or big oil, big coal, big oil, whatever,

1439
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 1: same thing. Think about the Democrat platform going forward, I

1440
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: mean they're gonna be running on a green energy new deal.

1441
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean they really talked with this. They're trying to

1442
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 1: bring back FDR, who they love, even though he put

1443
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,679
Speaker 1: the Japanese in internment camps. I mean, FDR somehow gets

1444
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 1: a pass for being, in a lot of ways a

1445
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 1: pretty terrible president. But they want to bring this back

1446
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 1: and make this the centerpiece of the Democrats going forward.

1447
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 1: It's going to be all these jobs. And you want

1448
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 1: to talk about cronyism and chrony capitalism. Green energy is

1449
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: rife with that crap. And if the Democrats come back

1450
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,479
Speaker 1: into power, a lot of people are going to be

1451
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:44,599
Speaker 1: very wealthy by making you pay more for your energy

1452
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: while they get sweetheart deals not by the free market

1453
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: but by the government. I don't know what your New

1474
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: and we can see that by the fact that there's

1475
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 1: been a lot of names floated. None of them have

1476
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 1: been really solid or really pushed by any one sort

1477
01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 1: of party. Bu parties are sent scrambling in this issue. Yes,

1478
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 1: that congressional district that we are talking about does is

1479
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:08,600
Speaker 1: the most democratic district in the whole state of Connecticut.

1480
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 1: Or I'm sorry, Republican in the state of Connecticut, but

1481
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: there's more independent voters than voters that are affiliated with

1482
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 1: any party. So either party is going to have to

1483
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: work really hard in order to get people's votes in

1484
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: that district. And I think you know that you're right

1485
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:24,720
Speaker 1: when you bring up the point a clip that we

1486
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 1: wanted to pull up of Bree Peyton doing what she

1487
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:32,679
Speaker 1: was known to do it should be a writer and

1488
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 1: TV talking head, pundit analyst. She was a contributor at

1489
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 1: the Federalist website. Those of you who listened to the

1490
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:44,679
Speaker 1: show No pretty well, because I go back quite away

1491
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 1: as with the founder, Ben Dominic and with Sean Davis,

1492
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 1: and so you know the Federalist well, Bree who was

1493
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 1: one of their not just star writers, but was increasingly

1494
01:25:54,720 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 1: a visible national presence on Fox News and an other places.

1495
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 1: She was a frequent guest on my panel on Hill TV.

1496
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 1: Bre passed away. As I'm sure many of you listening

1497
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 1: to this heard, it became a national news story that

1498
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 1: this incredibly kind, smart, very beautiful, twenty six year old

1499
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 1: conservative rising star just died died in a very short

1500
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 1: period of time. From what they believe is swine flew

1501
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 1: and I wasn't even aware that swine flu was something

1502
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:39,280
Speaker 1: we still had to be on guard for it. It

1503
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: just this news came as a shock. I know it's

1504
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 1: been out there for a while, but I haven't had

1505
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to you about it yet. This

1506
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:51,679
Speaker 1: came down on my birthday, I remembered. I went from

1507
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 1: receiving a slew of texts from friends, colleagues, family members,

1508
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 1: but friends and colleagues in the morning saying happy Birthday,

1509
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 1: to all of a sudden, there was a shift, and

1510
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 1: my phone all day was people trying to get the

1511
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 1: news to me of first that Bree was in dire

1512
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:12,040
Speaker 1: straits in the hospital, and then that she had actually

1513
01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 1: passed away. I saw a notification on Twitter that they

1514
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 1: were asking for thoughts and one of her her friends

1515
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 1: was asking for thoughts and prayers for Bree. And within

1516
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 1: thirty minutes I saw another another notification that she had

1517
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: passed away, and it was it. Look it rattled me,

1518
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 1: It rattled a lot of people that I know. She

1519
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: was in very good health. Last time I saw her,

1520
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 1: I was with Molly and Bree and her boyfriend. He

1521
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 1: came up and introduced himself to me. It was quite

1522
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 1: a quite a moment because he had actually been Bree's

1523
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:57,519
Speaker 1: longtime boyfriend, had been an intern at the Blaze TV

1524
01:27:57,640 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 1: on my show on Real News there, so he knew

1525
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 1: a bit through that, and we had met each other,

1526
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe gosh five or six years ago now

1527
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 1: when he was an intern, and Molly and I had

1528
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: talked about meeting up for them with dinner, or meeting

1529
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:19,600
Speaker 1: up with them for dinner, and now she's gone. I'm

1530
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:24,720
Speaker 1: not somebody who pretends to have the words in situations

1531
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:26,519
Speaker 1: like this. And I know I speak for a living

1532
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 1: and this is I'm a radio host. It's strange for

1533
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 1: me to say I don't have the words. But when

1534
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 1: someone who is that much of a positive presence in

1535
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,880
Speaker 1: so many lives, who is making all the all the

1536
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 1: right decisions, has nothing but bright future ahead of her

1537
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 1: and so much upside and just so much to contribute

1538
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 1: in every way. I don't just mean to professionally, but

1539
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 1: in data to life. And Bree was a really sweet,

1540
01:28:54,320 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 1: really good person and a very Christian person, a believer

1541
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 1: and somebody who really practiced her faith. And for someone

1542
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 1: like that to be taken from us, to be taken

1543
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:11,600
Speaker 1: out of my world here in DC, just as a

1544
01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:16,439
Speaker 1: colleague of hers, I can't imagine the sense of loss

1545
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:19,799
Speaker 1: and grief that her family has her. She has many siblings,

1546
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:24,719
Speaker 1: that her boyfriend has, that her close friends and people

1547
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 1: that have known her for many, many years feel. And

1548
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:32,479
Speaker 1: I don't have any anything, you know, certainly don't have

1549
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: anything to make this seem any less terrible and tragic

1550
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 1: than it is. All I can say is that we

1551
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: are all on borrowed time. We don't know when it's coming,

1552
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 1: we don't know how it's going to come, but we

1553
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 1: will all we will all meet our end, and it's

1554
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:53,720
Speaker 1: it's I took it as a real wake up call,

1555
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:58,519
Speaker 1: and the fact that it occurred on my birthday obviously

1556
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:00,800
Speaker 1: was just coincidental. But I think already I was in

1557
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:04,600
Speaker 1: a contemplative mood and either thinking about what I've what

1558
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 1: I haven't achieved so far, and I know a lot

1559
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 1: of you probably have the same thing. I tend to

1560
01:30:10,120 --> 01:30:14,600
Speaker 1: be more negative on myself, more hard on myself for

1561
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:16,840
Speaker 1: what I haven't done yet than what I have done.

1562
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:19,880
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about I'm thirty seven, and you

1563
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 1: know I needed to do this and neither that, And

1564
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,840
Speaker 1: then I realized I got these messages about Brie, and

1565
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:27,719
Speaker 1: I just thought the stuff that I'm wearing, it doesn't matter.

1566
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:31,000
Speaker 1: What matters is you know who you are every day

1567
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:33,280
Speaker 1: that you have and how you treat the people around you,

1568
01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:40,320
Speaker 1: how loving and loyal and dependable and kind you are

1569
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:43,760
Speaker 1: to the people that you are dealing with, you're interacting with,

1570
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:47,880
Speaker 1: that are your people every day, and what you do

1571
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,559
Speaker 1: in the world, and how you decide to spend your

1572
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:54,080
Speaker 1: energy and your time, That's what matters. Yeah, sure, we

1573
01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:57,519
Speaker 1: all we all want success, we all want recognition and

1574
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 1: all these different things, but we also don't know if

1575
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 1: we're ever going to just fall into a high grade

1576
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 1: fever and then a coma and then die one day.

1577
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 1: And it can I mean, if it happened to Breed

1578
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 1: in this way, it's just a reminder that it can

1579
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:17,879
Speaker 1: happen absolutely any of us. Anyone listening to this, me, you, anyone.

1580
01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:21,040
Speaker 1: You just don't know. I mean, she was with family

1581
01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:23,639
Speaker 1: on Christmas and with friends the next day and everything

1582
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:27,160
Speaker 1: was fine, and then she probably went to sleep feeling

1583
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 1: a little off and had never would have thought in

1584
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: a million years that it was swine flew and then

1585
01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 1: woke up the next day, or maybe never woke up

1586
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:37,559
Speaker 1: the next day, she was unresponsive when her roommate founder,

1587
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:40,800
Speaker 1: so cherish every moment you have. I really mean that

1588
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 1: you think about what you're doing with your life right now,

1589
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 1: what you're doing every day, and focus more on how

1590
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 1: you contribute than you know how you could achieve more

1591
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,639
Speaker 1: personalized goals. You know, who are you? Are you making

1592
01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 1: the world around you better every day? And Bree, you

1593
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:04,800
Speaker 1: are missed. So you may be asking yourself, well, what

1594
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:08,840
Speaker 1: did you do Buck over this holiday break? Actually none

1595
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 1: of you are asking that, but let's just pretend for

1596
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 1: a second. Let's just assume for a moment that maybe

1597
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 1: some of you care. I hope you all had had

1598
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:18,360
Speaker 1: a great time. The most unexpected gift that I got

1599
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:20,640
Speaker 1: was actually from our friends at Black Rifle Coffee. They

1600
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 1: sent me a huge, really a war chest out of

1601
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 1: black Rifle goodies of all kinds. So Black Rifle Coffee

1602
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:30,920
Speaker 1: dot com slash buck if you want to go get

1603
01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 1: some for yourself. But I mean, I mean an actual

1604
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 1: large Black rifle wooden chest. They sent it to me

1605
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,680
Speaker 1: to the Christmas gift. Those guys are awesome, so so

1606
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:40,479
Speaker 1: kind of them, and it was one of the nicest

1607
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,040
Speaker 1: gifts I've gotten in a long time as to what

1608
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:46,640
Speaker 1: I did with my time. For those who're curious about that,

1609
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 1: I read a lot, I slept a lot, I read

1610
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 1: a lot. And the books that I read two books

1611
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 1: in their entirety. One is a history because obviously I

1612
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:01,639
Speaker 1: tend to try to read a history book, a political

1613
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,360
Speaker 1: or philosophy book, and that a general interest book at

1614
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:07,400
Speaker 1: any given time. And the history book that I so,

1615
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm somebody who does multiple books at once, meaning I

1616
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:13,080
Speaker 1: do chapter by chapter of different things. I read The

1617
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:17,680
Speaker 1: Sea Wolves by Lars Brownworth, which if you are in

1618
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 1: any way a fan of the show Vikings on the

1619
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 1: History Channel, or if you are a fan of the

1620
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:29,960
Speaker 1: Last Kingdom I Am Utrid, son of Utred, you will

1621
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:34,800
Speaker 1: be very into this book. It's essentially a much more

1622
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:41,600
Speaker 1: detailed history of that same period of the Viking invasion

1623
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:47,880
Speaker 1: of not just England but Ireland and the kingdoms of

1624
01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:50,760
Speaker 1: northern Germany and what was going on in that part

1625
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:53,680
Speaker 1: of the world, and just some really interesting perspective on that.

1626
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:57,320
Speaker 1: Also worth noting that this idea that the Vikings were

1627
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:00,320
Speaker 1: this invincible army and would always beat everybody fought it,

1628
01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:05,480
Speaker 1: it's really not the case. In fact, well armed Saxon

1629
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 1: kingdoms were very able to confront and even sometimes defeat

1630
01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 1: these Vikings. The real advantage the Vikings had was speed

1631
01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:18,280
Speaker 1: and mobility based on their ships and their seamanship, and

1632
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:20,799
Speaker 1: they you know, if you look at a map of England,

1633
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 1: for example, we don't think of it this way, but

1634
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:28,720
Speaker 1: England has rivers that essentially make much of even inland

1635
01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:35,559
Speaker 1: England proper accessible by the sea, certainly accessible by any

1636
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 1: narrow draft water vessel. And so the Vikings were able

1637
01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:43,599
Speaker 1: to for that at the time with lightning speed, hit

1638
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:46,800
Speaker 1: different areas and they would go after soft targets. And

1639
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,679
Speaker 1: the Vikings are really just a it was a culture

1640
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:54,080
Speaker 1: of piracy. It was really a whole society built on piracy.

1641
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:56,920
Speaker 1: And when you think of them more as pirates or

1642
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:01,000
Speaker 1: experger with the big wooden shield and the and the

1643
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 1: acts and all that stuff. Then and they had better

1644
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 1: quality iron as well, which is obviously helpful for hand

1645
01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:10,679
Speaker 1: to hand combat back in the day. But the book

1646
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:14,559
Speaker 1: that I really enjoyed a whole lot that I wasn't

1647
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:17,280
Speaker 1: necessarily thinking i'd like as much as I did, was

1648
01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: by Tom Wright. And the book is The Billion Dollar Whale,

1649
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 1: and it is you got to read it. I mean,

1650
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:30,280
Speaker 1: this is about this guy Joel, who managed to completely

1651
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:39,240
Speaker 1: hoodwink some of the most sophisticated banks, investors, financial institutions

1652
01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:43,840
Speaker 1: in the world. And this guy is in his late

1653
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:46,519
Speaker 1: in late twenties when he's doing this. He essentially used

1654
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:50,679
Speaker 1: his social connections to set up a phony Bologny sovereign

1655
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:54,280
Speaker 1: wealth fund in Malaysia, use some Saudi contacts, and then

1656
01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:56,640
Speaker 1: throw a bunch of big parties. Next thing you know,

1657
01:35:56,720 --> 01:36:00,320
Speaker 1: this guy's hanging out with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Fox going

1658
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:04,000
Speaker 1: on dates with Miranda Kerr, bought her eight million dollars

1659
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,160
Speaker 1: of jewelry. She's the Australian supermodel for those of you

1660
01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:08,720
Speaker 1: don't know, used to be married to Orlando Bloom. And

1661
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:11,840
Speaker 1: this guy funds the movie The Wolf of Wall Street

1662
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 1: with the ill gotten proceeds of this Malaysian one MDB

1663
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:20,720
Speaker 1: sovereign wealth fund. He spends eighty five million dollars on

1664
01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 1: parties in a less than twelve month period. Eighty five

1665
01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 1: million on parties and travel and booze, and it was

1666
01:36:29,400 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 1: all all stolen money. It's an incredible story how this

1667
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 1: guy pulled it off, and you should check it out.

1668
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 1: So the billion dollars Whale highly recommend, and the Sea Wolves.

1669
01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:41,719
Speaker 1: For those of you that are into history, roll call

1670
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:51,639
Speaker 1: coming up. The show ain't over yet, folks, keeping it real,

1671
01:36:53,920 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: it's time for roll call. Well, Team, I have missed you,

1672
01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:12,479
Speaker 1: so it's great to be back here in the Freedom Hut.

1673
01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 1: Thank you for allowing me a bit of a breather there.

1674
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:20,160
Speaker 1: I know that the guest host that we had were

1675
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:24,439
Speaker 1: very well received and people generally, we're quite pleased, I

1676
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:27,280
Speaker 1: think with how that all turned out. So we will

1677
01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 1: certainly keep Raheem and Ben and Harlan as well as

1678
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:35,600
Speaker 1: the Godfather doctor Opelka. He's not a doctor, nor is

1679
01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:38,719
Speaker 1: he a godfather, but Mike is going to be joining

1680
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:41,760
Speaker 1: in on all that too. So with that, I'm just

1681
01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:43,400
Speaker 1: happy to be back here with all of you and

1682
01:37:43,400 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 1: get a chance to do some roll call. Man, It's

1683
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 1: it's like i've It's like I've just been able to

1684
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:53,759
Speaker 1: return home now. Good things, good times, Team Brad. Ryan's

1685
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Buck. I hope you had a great

1686
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 1: holiday and got some rest. Yeah, Brad, I think I

1687
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:00,680
Speaker 1: just slept for three days straight. At one point, I

1688
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:02,840
Speaker 1: just wanted to know how much I wanted you to

1689
01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 1: know how much I enjoyed all your guests, so it's

1690
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:08,000
Speaker 1: especially Ben Weinearten. I think we could get our young

1691
01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:11,760
Speaker 1: up and comers and those interested in politics to take

1692
01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:13,479
Speaker 1: a moment and listening people like you and Ben, this

1693
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:15,680
Speaker 1: world would be a much better place. I know you

1694
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:18,160
Speaker 1: try to avoid the whole global warming topic, but I

1695
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:22,520
Speaker 1: thought you might enjoy reading Bjorn Lomberg's The Skeptical Environmentalist.

1696
01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:24,760
Speaker 1: It's an older read from two thousand and one, but

1697
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:28,360
Speaker 1: I found it very enlightening. Thanks again for a great show,

1698
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:30,879
Speaker 1: and I wish you all the best in twenty nineteen.

1699
01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:33,599
Speaker 1: Brad Well, Happy new year to you, Brad, and thank

Speaker 1: you for your kind message. I'll pass along your a

1701
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 1: kudos to my friend Ben wine Garden. I've known Ben

1702
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:42,840
Speaker 1: for gosh, I don't know five or six years now.

1703
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,040
Speaker 1: We go back quite a ways to when we were

1704
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:48,960
Speaker 1: both at the Blaze. But he's a great guy, very sharp,

1705
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:52,360
Speaker 1: very insightful fellow, and I'm glad that he did such

1706
01:38:52,360 --> 01:38:54,920
Speaker 1: a good job here when he was guest hosting. And Brad,

1707
01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 1: in terms of getting the word out to the conservative youth,

1708
01:38:57,400 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 1: please tell any young conservative this goes for all of

1717
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:29,880

01:39:34,240 --> 01:39:38,160
Speaker 1: back live with all of you. And I'm just thankful

1721
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:41,679
Speaker 1: to be still going strong here on radio. Thirty seven

1722
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 1: years young, thirty seven man, I'm as Miss Molly calls it,

1723
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm the oldest thirty seven year old she knows, which

1724
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:51,840
Speaker 1: is true. I'm starting to get creaky bones, I really

1725
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:53,599
Speaker 1: do you know. I know everyone has their news resolution

1726
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,120
Speaker 1: with getting back into shape. I'm going to find the

1727
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:58,600
Speaker 1: energy to get back to the gym. I have not

1728
01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:01,200
Speaker 1: been lazy. I've just been over to hired. There's a difference, right,

1729
01:40:01,240 --> 01:40:05,479
Speaker 1: overtired is is when we're sorry. Lazy is oh? I

1730
01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 1: finished work at five. I got there at you know,

1731
01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 1: nine thirty this morning, and I just sat at a

1732
01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:12,920
Speaker 1: desk and now I just want to watch TV. I

1733
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:14,320
Speaker 1: don't want to go to the gym. That's me being

1734
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 1: lazy overtired has I've been up since five am. I

1735
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 1: finished radio at nine pm, and I have not a

1736
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:22,920
Speaker 1: lot of time in between. I can't go to the gym.

1737
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:25,600
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try to overcome that. That's one of

1738
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 1: my resolutions for this year. I've got a few of them,

1739
01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:31,559
Speaker 1: but that's definitely one of them. At m Rights, I'm

1740
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:34,600
Speaker 1: wondering in relation to the border, could we resurrect the

1741
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:38,599
Speaker 1: private Tiers license to secure the border and add much

1742
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 1: needed incentive to stay at home. By the way, happy birthday.

1743
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:48,679
Speaker 1: Private tiers license, you mean essentially set up the border

1744
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:53,240
Speaker 1: like for bounty hunters to grab illegals who cross. That's interesting.

1745
01:40:53,439 --> 01:40:58,160
Speaker 1: Would they be using force? That could get very tricky,

1746
01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: very quickly. But at least you are. You are thinking

1747
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:05,960
Speaker 1: outside the box, Adam, and for that I give you thanks.

1748
01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 1: Carolyn Writes, better start practicing your Elizabeth Warren voice. It's

1749
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:14,560
Speaker 1: a different screech than Hillary Happy New Year. Wow. I

1750
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:18,280
Speaker 1: raw I was a Harvard law professor, and I, you know,

1751
01:41:18,479 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 1: I just want the redistribution of wealth, and I've got

1752
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:24,360
Speaker 1: to find a way to kind of get into She

1753
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 1: has a there's a faint Midwestern twang, but it's mostly

1754
01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:33,679
Speaker 1: just her her unpleasant screech that that comes to mind.

1755
01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 1: I'll have to think if I can do a really

1756
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:38,760
Speaker 1: good Elizabeth Warren impression that doesn't just sound like a

1757
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:43,639
Speaker 1: Hillary redux how wow. But we'll see. Um. I will

1758
01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:46,519
Speaker 1: keep that one mind. You know, I've never developed a

1759
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:49,240
Speaker 1: Trump impression, and some of you asked me why that is.

1760
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:51,800
Speaker 1: I just think there are so many bad Trump impressions

1761
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:54,200
Speaker 1: out there that I don't want to fall into that

1762
01:41:54,320 --> 01:41:59,160
Speaker 1: category of being yet another dumpster fire of Trump impersonation.

1763
01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 1: Tia writes, Hi Buck, happy belated birthday. I always love

1764
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 1: your show and love your high quality subs. When you're

1765
01:42:08,400 --> 01:42:12,559
Speaker 1: not with us. Raheem is a favorite. Of course. Just

1766
01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:15,479
Speaker 1: listen to Harland Harland Show on podcast and his show

1767
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 1: was outstanding, great guests, how to PAUSI frequently to take notes,

1768
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:22,439
Speaker 1: but we still look forward to your return. Well to you.

1769
01:42:23,439 --> 01:42:26,640
Speaker 1: I like to have great feelings, you know, some in

1770
01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:30,680
Speaker 1: the radio business, there's a there's conflicting ideas in this

1771
01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:35,599
Speaker 1: conflicting advice. And I will tell you that some people

1772
01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:40,760
Speaker 1: take the opinion that they want to have people fill

1773
01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:43,320
Speaker 1: in for them that make the audience miss them. And

1774
01:42:43,320 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 1: this is a well, this is a longstanding, well known

1775
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:48,200
Speaker 1: radio trick. You know. It's like you always want your

1776
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:51,920
Speaker 1: understudy to be a level or two below if you're

1777
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:54,559
Speaker 1: the lead, if you're the star on the play. I

1778
01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 1: don't take that approach at all. I want the best

1779
01:42:57,560 --> 01:43:00,679
Speaker 1: fellains that we can get on the show. And that's

1780
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:03,600
Speaker 1: why you know, I'm trying to get new people involved

1781
01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:05,559
Speaker 1: and have you and I listen to all of you,

1782
01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:09,559
Speaker 1: all of your feedback. I want this this time and

1783
01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:12,719
Speaker 1: this whether you're listening live, you're listening on the download,

1784
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:14,920
Speaker 1: the podcast after the fact. I want this to be

1785
01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:17,360
Speaker 1: something you look forward to whether I'm here or not,

1786
01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: but hopefully a little more look forward to it when

1787
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm here. That's the plan, But I want you to

1788
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:25,320
Speaker 1: like it no matter what. You know. A good example

1789
01:43:25,360 --> 01:43:26,800
Speaker 1: this is I used to fill in, as you know,

1790
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:30,000
Speaker 1: for a Rush Limball, and I can tell you that

1791
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:34,400
Speaker 1: to fill in for Rush is such an honor and

1792
01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 1: is considered such a fantastic opportunity and such exposure, such

1793
01:43:39,439 --> 01:43:42,360
Speaker 1: a good stepping stone for your career, that even to

1794
01:43:42,439 --> 01:43:45,919
Speaker 1: be a fill in for Rush is very, very competitive.

1795
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:47,120
Speaker 1: I know some of you're like, well, Buck, you know

1796
01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 1: you and Mark Snein and Eric Ericsson, and you know

1797
01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 1: there are a few others that I'm sure come to

1798
01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:55,879
Speaker 1: your mind right away. Yeah, But for every for everyone

1799
01:43:55,920 --> 01:43:58,960
Speaker 1: who's me, Mark or Eric or anyone else who's filled in,

1800
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 1: there are one hundred people that are hoping to fill

1801
01:44:01,960 --> 01:44:04,320
Speaker 1: in for Rush, that have pitched themselves to Rush's team,

1802
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:06,320
Speaker 1: that you know are waiting in line to fill in

1803
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:08,960
Speaker 1: for Rush. So I want that to be the vibe.

1804
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 1: And I will tell you that there are many more

1805
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:13,280
Speaker 1: people that ask to fill in on this show than

1806
01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm able to accommodate, especially in the last twelve months

1807
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:20,920
Speaker 1: or so, because you know, now that it's in national.

1808
01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:23,160
Speaker 1: It was one thing when it was digital only, but

1809
01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:25,880
Speaker 1: now that we're in national syndication and people have an

1810
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:29,160
Speaker 1: understanding of how many individuals listen to the show live

1811
01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:32,920
Speaker 1: and on replay, they want to they want to get

1812
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 1: to speak to all the U folks. D Rites, Happy Birthday, Buck,

1813
01:44:37,080 --> 01:44:39,280
Speaker 1: a longtime listener, What are you coming back to the

1814
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:42,000
Speaker 1: EIB microphone? Well, do you speak in of the EIB.

1815
01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:48,600
Speaker 1: There is a a longstanding policy of you can't be

1816
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 1: a Rush fill in if you have your own syndicated show,

1817
01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 1: which which I understand. I mean, really, if you think

1818
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:57,680
Speaker 1: about this way, it's it's a way of saying, you know,

1819
01:44:57,720 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 1: if you're going to be a fill in for Rush

1820
01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:01,599
Speaker 1: and you can promote your you're doing, that's great. But

1821
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:03,479
Speaker 1: if you're going to fill in for Rush and you

1822
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:06,400
Speaker 1: have your own show, you know you're promoting it on

1823
01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:09,720
Speaker 1: his air, that's his audience. You know, I understand why

1824
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 1: that's not something that's done. So the answer is, as

1825
01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:14,920
Speaker 1: long as this show is going, I don't think I'll

1826
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:17,680
Speaker 1: be back at the EIB microphone. But that doesn't mean

1827
01:45:17,680 --> 01:45:21,519
Speaker 1: that I'm not constantly in contact with those guys. And

1828
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:25,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the EIB team Rush obviously at

1829
01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 1: the head of it are you know, they are amazing

1830
01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:30,719
Speaker 1: and I have nothing but nothing but love and respect

1831
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:35,320
Speaker 1: for those folks. Britney writes, hurry up and come back.

1832
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:38,000
Speaker 1: The Freedom Hutt needs you. Brittany, thank you so much,

1833
01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:41,800
Speaker 1: thank you. It's very very kind. To you. Very nice

1834
01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:46,240
Speaker 1: to you to say, and I'm glad to be back Jennifer,

1835
01:45:46,439 --> 01:45:49,719
Speaker 1: whoa quite a long message here. Hello and happy birthday, Buck.

1836
01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:52,240
Speaker 1: I hope you're enjoying your birthday on the holiday season

1837
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 1: with some well deserved R and R. I'm sure you've

1838
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:57,400
Speaker 1: heard by now about the Newman, California law enforcement officer,

1839
01:45:57,439 --> 01:46:00,320
Speaker 1: Corporal Singh, who was shot and killed at what I

1840
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:03,200
Speaker 1: am onto Suber twenty six. This was the town I

1841
01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:05,759
Speaker 1: grew up in. When I was there mostly in the eighties,

1842
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:09,080
Speaker 1: it was practically Mayberry and Andy Griffith show reference. The

1843
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 1: population was about thirty five hundred nowns around eleven thousand.

1844
01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 1: My grandparents owned a small restaurant there. There were no stoplights,

1845
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:19,160
Speaker 1: no fast food chains, and the fire department was made

1846
01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 1: up of volunteers. This little town is in the heart

1847
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:25,479
Speaker 1: of California's agricultural valley. As you can imagine, there are

1848
01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:28,800
Speaker 1: many Mexican immigrant laborers that lived there. Everyone that I

1849
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:30,880
Speaker 1: know still lives or lived in Newman in the small

1850
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:32,760
Speaker 1: towns that surround that, are just heartbroken by the loss

1851
01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:35,280
Speaker 1: of this law enforcement officer. He's the first who have

1852
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 1: been killed in the line of duty in Newman. I

1853
01:46:37,479 --> 01:46:39,360
Speaker 1: feel a sense of loss, even though I didn't know him.

1854
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 1: I pray for his young family. Buck. I've been listening

1855
01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 1: to you since the Real News days on the Blaze.

1856
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 1: I look forward to listening to you when you come

1857
01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:48,400
Speaker 1: back to your show. I hope you give this topic

1858
01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:51,280
Speaker 1: the discussion deserves. This is everything right now. The man

1859
01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:53,679
Speaker 1: arrested for a killing, Corporal Sing, is an legal alien

1860
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:57,160
Speaker 1: with ties to this Sereno gangs that has been busted

1861
01:46:57,160 --> 01:46:59,960
Speaker 1: for DUI's Corporal Sing was a legal immigrant who did

1862
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:02,080
Speaker 1: everything in the proper manner to become a citizen and

1863
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,160
Speaker 1: a law enforcement officer, and then he was killed in

1864
01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:06,080
Speaker 1: this way as sickening. I listen to every one of

1865
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:08,960
Speaker 1: your shows. I appreciate all you're doing. Shields High, Jennifer Well.

1866
01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:10,960
Speaker 1: Jennifer Well said at all that, and you know it's

1867
01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:14,200
Speaker 1: it is, especially when you are from a community as

1868
01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:16,200
Speaker 1: tight en it as the one you're talking about, and

1869
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 1: you lose a law enforcement officer. It rattles the whole community.

1870
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:25,519
Speaker 1: People definitely have a sense of unease and anxiety and

1871
01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:29,160
Speaker 1: honestly a little bit of fear when that happens. So

1872
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,519
Speaker 1: I can understand why it's as upsetting to you as

1873
01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:36,240
Speaker 1: it is, and clearly this the problem of illegal immigration.

1874
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:39,240
Speaker 1: It's just going to continue until we force political consequences

1875
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 1: and the Democrats and some of the Republicans who are

1876
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:46,679
Speaker 1: aiding and abetting this whole process. Donna writes, Happy birthday, Buck.

1877
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:51,160
Speaker 1: Mary Beth writes Happy birthday, Buck, and Donna says, it's

1878

1879
01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:57,280

Speaker 1: but every single one of them was really appreciated and

1885
01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:14,040
Speaker 1: it meant a lot to read them. And that was

1886
01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:17,280
