While the world has changed, we 15 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: are forever mindful of the original purpose of these structures, 16 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: nations working together to safeguard a hard one piece. Welcome 17 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: to the buck sections Share everybody. Oh hello, Welcome to 18 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show. Indeed you have Queens Queen of 19 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: England telling everybody about the very important relationship between England 20 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: Great Britain and the United States. Yeah, it's interesting. Our 21 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: producer Mike told me some some facts about this before 22 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: we came out earlier. Mike, how many, how many people? 23 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: How many presents have been invited to this special banquet 24 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: with the Queen. Trump's the third. Yeah, it seems to be. 25 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: It's a rare honor for a US president. I'm pushing 26 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: Obama have been the only two others, and I think 27 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: they only hold two banquets a year, So I bet 28 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: they serve tea and crumpets. Yeah, I hope they do, 29 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: not to be concerned with not to be rather confused 30 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: with tea and strumpets, which is a whole other things. 31 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: So yes, indeed we have, Yes, indeed, everyone we have 32 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: Trump over in the UK. We'll talk later on about 33 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: some of the some of the fallout from this with 34 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: the media baiting Trump into and it's so easy and 35 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: of course he's gonna do it, getting into it with 36 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: Sadiq Khan and getting into it with not really getting 37 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: into with Megan Markle. They're being being fake fake news. 38 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: They're being fake news on that one. Don't trust them, 39 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: You can't trust them, a bunch of sketchy libs. You 40 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: haven't never know what they're up to. Ah, let's now 41 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: get into though, the latest in the saga of spying 42 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: and Trump campaign undermining, the abuse of authority, and all 43 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: the other terrible things that happened as a result of 44 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: the Russia collusion to illusion. We have a little a 45 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: little bit of movement on this because the preparations are 46 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: underway for the left to try and convince the American 47 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: people that there was really nothing, nothing to see here, 48 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: no big issue other than how how Barr is a 49 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: terrible person. Of course he's a terrible person, and that's 50 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: because he has said some things that are that really 51 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: hit home. I mean I discussed with you a little 52 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: bit last week that that interview where Bar he was 53 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: dropping bombs. I mean, you go back, it's worth watching 54 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: the whole thing. It was on CBS. And he's not 55 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: over excited about anything. He's not. He's not stretching the truth, 56 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: he's not grandstanding. He's just saying, look, this is this 57 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: is the deal. You know, everybody dies. That's his line. 58 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: But that was awesome. That was awesome. I think that 59 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: this is the guy we need in this role. But 60 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: here are just just a few of as we get 61 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: into the effort to counter message it over the weekend, 62 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: which a lot of Democrats will get Mark Warner and 63 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: others running around trying to make this guy seem like he's, Oh, 64 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: he's a toady for the president and he's a bad guy. 65 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: He's doing all these things he shouldn't be doing. They 66 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: never tell us what he's doing that's bad, just that 67 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: he's the president's man, and yeah, stuff like that. But 68 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: here's what Bill Barr had to say about the ruling 69 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: class here in DC played twelve. You don't think that 70 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: they permitted treason. That is a legal matter, right, But 71 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: you have concerns about how they conducted the investigation. Yes, 72 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: but you know, when you're dealing with official government contact 73 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: and intent is frequently a murky issue. I'm not suggesting 74 00:04:51,720 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: people did what they did necessarily because of conscious nefarious motives. 75 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes people can convince themselves that what they're doing is 76 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: in the higher interests, the better good. They don't realize 77 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: that what they're doing is really anathetical to the democratic 78 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: system we have. They start viewing themselves as the guardians 79 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: of the people that are more informed and sensitive than 80 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: everybody else. The guardians of the people that are more 81 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: informed and sensitive than everybody else. Who does that sound 82 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: like a perfect description of from this whole saga of 83 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: the last two years. Doesn't that sound quite a bit 84 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: like James Comey, doesn't sound quite a bit like Bob Muller, 85 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: Brennan at the CIA, Clapper at the DNI, Yates at 86 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: the DOJ. Doesn't that describe their mentality? Haven't we seen 87 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: this on full display? They just thought they knew better 88 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: and that justified whatever it is that they did then, 89 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: and they think it still justifies what they have done 90 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: even looking back at it now. Barr understands this. The 91 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: current Attorney General knows who we're dealing with when you 92 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: talk about the establishment Arrians. He knows this mentality that, 93 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: in his sense, in order to save our democracy, they 94 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: had to undermine it. That's what they were willing to do. 95 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: That was the gamble that they took. That was the 96 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: position that they put themselves in. And Barr recognizes this 97 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 1: as a very real threat, as a very serious problem, 98 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: one that we have to get to the bottom of. 99 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: The same people who were screaming for two years about 100 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: how we must know the full extent of Russian interference 101 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: in the election shouldn't we know the full extent of 102 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: the federal bureaucracies interference in our own election. Shouldn't we 103 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: know if law enforcement powers were abused to try to 104 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: turn a presidential election. Shouldn't we get to the bottom 105 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: of it, at least even for those people who don't 106 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: believe that that happened, shouldn't they want that to be verified? 107 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: Why the change all of a sudden, Why the move 108 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: away from transparency and accountability to something else, to a 109 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: position of indifference to abuse? That seems all but certain 110 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: to have occurred. I mean, I am certain it occurred. Well, 111 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: once we start to have a discussion at the national 112 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: level about the motives that were involved here, once you 113 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: have people of Barr's stature who will make the case that, 114 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's not that they thought that they were 115 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: being little Hillary stooges in this process. They really believed 116 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: they had convinced themselves they being the deep state operatives here, 117 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: the Komis and the mccabees and the Yates and the Brennans, 118 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: and they really thought that what they were doing was 119 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: the stuff of great patriots who would be forever remembered 120 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: fondly by their countrymen. I mean, I think that they 121 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: had convinced themselves of it. They were wrong, They're delusional, 122 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: But did they believe it? Do you think do you 123 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: think Komy thinks for one second that anything that he 124 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: has done is really questionable and maybe makes him even 125 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: a bad guy? Of course not Coomy looks down on 126 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: all of us literally and figuratively because he is like 127 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: seven foot four, But he does look down on the 128 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: rest of the people while thinking simultaneously that he defends 129 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: the rest of the people with his actions, the abuses 130 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: that he and others engaged in, and we know there 131 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: were abuses. Releasing memos from your time as FBI director 132 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: to the New York Times, that's an abuse, all right, 133 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: there's no way around it. McCay lying three times the 134 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: Inspector General about contacts with the media, that's an abuse. 135 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: There's no way around this. We will find out the 136 00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: full extent of it, I hope from this Inspector General 137 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: report we will find out if there was a praetorianism 138 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: on display here or a praetorian effect. Praetorianism is a 139 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: pretty specific thing, but a praetorian effect where well here here, 140 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: here's how the attorney general, I think rather astutely and 141 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: elegantly put it himself Play thirteen. When we talk about 142 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: foreign interference versus say, a government abuse of power, and yes, 143 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: wishes more troubling, Well, they're both. They're both troubling equally 144 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: in my mind, they are sure. I mean, republics have 145 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: fallen because of praetorian guard mentality, where government officials get 146 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: very arrogant, they identify the national interest with their own 147 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: political preferences, and they feel that anyone who you know 148 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: has a different opinion, you know, somehow an enemy of 149 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: the state, and and you know there is that tendency 150 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: that they know better, and you know that they're there 151 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: to protect as guardians of the people, that can easily 152 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: translate into essentially supervening the will of the majority and 153 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: getting your own way as a government official. Does anyone 154 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: at this point really even dispute that there were senior 155 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: government officials under the Obama administration who believed that Trump 156 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: was a clear and present danger to the United States. 157 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: Isn't it quite obvious? I mean, some of them have 158 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: come out and said as much since then, but I 159 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: think it's obvious from the actions they took at the time, 160 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: and you might say, well, Buck, how could they view 161 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: it as such, Well, he's a threat to the very 162 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: established structures and power dynamics that many of those individuals 163 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: have relied upon and called upon and supported and defended 164 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: their entire lives, certainly their whole careers. They don't want 165 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: to see that dash. They don't want it to be 166 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: the case that you don't need to have ever held 167 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: elected office to be the president. You know, some of 168 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: these things we take for granted now, But at the 169 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: time it was unthinkable to not just Libs, but a 170 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: lot of center right Republican types, you know, GOP establishmentarians. 171 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: It was the case with a lot of them that 172 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: they thought that Trump would just be pulling down the 173 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: very fabric of American society by being president, that he 174 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: would that he would tear us apart, that there'd be 175 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: that the stock markets would crash, and there'd be race 176 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: riots in the streets, and there'll be you know, a 177 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: war with well, not Russia, because of course we're Russia's puppet, right, 178 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: but a war with North Korea, and a trade war 179 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: with China and all there'd be all these things that 180 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: would happen that would result in the most the most 181 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: catastrophic consequences. None of that has happened. That country's doing 182 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: really well, which is the single biggest slap in the 183 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: face that these deep staters could ever have. So that's 184 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: why they turned to the ad hominum. That's why. Then 185 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: it's all, well, if we can't win just by trashing Trump, 186 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: maybe we trash Bar and the American people won't believe 187 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: what he has to say. Play fourteen, our bipartisan committee, 188 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: the last bipartisan effort on the Hill looking at this issue, 189 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: reaffirmed unanimously that the Russians massively intervened. If we had 190 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: not acted, if our intelligence community and law enforcement had 191 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: not acted, they would have been irresponsible and candidly, mister 192 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: Barr has very little credibility with me, and I think 193 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 1: the vast majority of candidly, not just Democrats, but many Americans, 194 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: because he, timing again, is not acting as our attorney 195 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: general but as a personal advocate for Donald Trump. The smear, 196 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: it's a lie. It's a stupid one from Mark Warner, 197 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: but I guess he has nowhere else to run with it. Yeah, 198 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: he has no credibility. Mark Warner says, here's somebody who 199 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: seems to think Bill Barr has credibility to play fifteen. 200 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: I like and respect Bill Barr. I know he's an 201 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: institutionalist who cares deeply about the integrity of the Justice Department. 202 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: So I'm sure he'll use the standard career resources. He 203 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: has to judge what he should be involved in, what 204 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: he shouldn't be involved in. But Bill Barr is a 205 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: talented person who was a good attorney general the first time. 206 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: I liked him very much. Then I think he'll serve 207 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: the Justice Department. Weather Wait, I thought Bill Barr had 208 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: no credibility. There's James Comey talking about how talented and 209 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: good and respectable and everything else he is. Oh, but 210 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: because he didn't deliver Trump's impeachment on a silver platter 211 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: to the Democrats like Muller did, he's a bad guy. 212 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: Now could this be any more obvious? I mean, I 213 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: do hope that you take a great degree you listening 214 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: to this across the country. I hope you take great 215 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: pride and solace and knowing that at least you're right 216 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: and you're not one of the people that's been fooled. 217 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: You have him in Hoodwinn, you have him been deluded 218 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: in this whole process. I think for so many liberals 219 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: out there, they can't admit to themselves what has really happened. 220 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: They can't accept that in this whole process they've been 221 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: swindled intellectually, they've been made to look like fools, they've 222 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: been turned into hysterics. So they'd much rather cling to 223 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: the possibility that somehow, even with all the facts as 224 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: they're out now, even seeing the actions of Muller and 225 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: knowing the truth of Komi and others, we're supposed to 226 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: think that this was all fine, this was all on 227 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: the up and up. I'm sorry, that's just not going 228 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: to cut it, not going to work. I get more 229 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: on this, and then also the possible breakup of Facebook. 230 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: The FTC took a step in at least investigating Facebook 231 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: for a possible trade violation. Very interesting stuff there. And 232 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: we will get into the latest on Democrats freaking out 233 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: over gun control. Yes, they do, in fact want to 234 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: take your guns. That's not just a thing that we 235 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: tell each other. And if I have time, maybe even 236 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: get into some of the latest on China tariffs and Mexico. 237 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: Mexico tariffs too. A lot of tariffs flying around. We 238 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: have a busy, busy show my friends much to discuss, 239 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: and is racism against anyone possible or is racism only 240 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: possible against certain groups, certain individuals. That's all coming up. 241 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,479 Speaker 1: If you want to be dogs and big progressive goals, 242 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: socialism is not the accident. I was reelected. I was 243 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: reelected in a purple stay in two thousand and fourteen, 244 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: one of the worst years for Democrats, and a quarter 245 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: sent I was we should thrive with a universal coverage 246 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: by removing private insurance from over one hundred and fifty 247 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: million of error. We should not try to time uplimate 248 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: change by guarantee. Hold on, hold on, I love it. 249 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: Oh that's hick and Looper running for Democrat president and 250 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: he's speaking in San Francisco and he said socialism is 251 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: not the answer. And they go boom boom all over 252 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: the place. Oh, because they think socialism is the answer. 253 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: Boom boom with your socialism, with your antisocialism. Oh man, 254 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: I really do think that Donald Trump could just run that. 255 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: I mean that that should be rnc ads going forward. 256 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: This this is what happens when when a center left Democrat, 257 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: as he said, hick and Looper is from a purple state. 258 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he's look, he's a Democrat, but he's just 259 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: not among the far left, fringiest of Democrats. He says 260 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: socialism is not the answer, and they just terrupt into 261 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: boop boop. Now what are we to make of this? 262 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: When I talk about how socialism is on the rise 263 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: in this country? A lot of my Democrat friends and 264 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: colleagues will, of whom it feels there are fewer and 265 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: fewer these days, will say to me, but that's not true. 266 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: And I would point out, well, you have Bernie Sanders 267 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: running as a Democratic socialist and he's number two out 268 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: of twenty three candidates the Democratic Party right now, and 269 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: you also have incidents like this. You know that we 270 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: can't entirely ignore. You've an entire auditorium full of people 271 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: in San Francisco, in a liberal stronghold, and socialism comes up, 272 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: and they're clearly very favorle to it. Never mind Great 273 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: New Deal and single payer. There is a far not 274 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: just a far left fringe, there is a far left 275 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: control center of the Democratic Party. Now. The far left 276 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: is calling the shots for them. And whether the rest 277 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party goes along with all of it 278 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: as a function of doctor and doesn't really matter because 279 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: this is what the Democratic Party stands for now. This 280 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: is that the party principles are increasingly socialist, increasingly far left. 281 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 1: I mean, the Green New Deal is socialism. It's just 282 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: they don't call it that, but it is a socialist program. 283 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: And the stuff they're talking about coming. You could look 284 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: at the Soviet Constitution. Some of it looks like it's 285 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: borrowed liberally from that. So there you high it all right, team, 286 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: I've got a little more, a little more on the 287 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: bar Muller throwdown stuff. And then we got to talk 288 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: the NRA, guns Democrats, Oh my, so much more. Stay 289 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: with me. I got questions for him. When did you 290 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: know there was no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. 291 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: We knew when we deposed Jim Comey. When we deposed 292 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: Jim Comey, he said, all the way up until the 293 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: day he was fired May nine, twenty seventeen, he told 294 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: us they had no evidence of any type of conspiracy, 295 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: clusion or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia. And 296 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: that was after ten months of the FBI investigating him. 297 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: That that was, that was after putting out returned next 298 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: to George Papadopplas. That was after using the dossier to 299 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: spy on the Trump campaign via Carter Page. So after 300 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: ten months, if they couldn't establish collusion, how long did 301 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: it take Bob Muller? And if you learned this early on, 302 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: why did you wait almost two years before you told 303 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: the country that there was no conspiracy between the Trump 304 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: campaign and Russia to influence the election? After all, that 305 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: was your central focus, your central task of this entire 306 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: special Counsel investigation. So that's a question I think the 307 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: whole country has for Bob Muller. He didn't. I got 308 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: a lot of questions for Bob Muller. I would like 309 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: to see them answered under oath in a public setting 310 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. Why should Muller get away without his 311 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: time in the hot seat? This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. 312 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: But it shows us that all along the claims of 313 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: letting the process play out in transparency, and you know, 314 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: this is how democrats are are really Like if I 315 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,479 Speaker 1: don't know how many of you ever been to in 316 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: some countries, there'll be a tennis match and you're not 317 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: supposed to make noise during a tennis match. You know 318 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: when the point is being played. But some places they'll 319 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: make a lot of noise. And imagine, you know, one side, 320 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: every time the player they don't like is about to 321 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: hit the ball, they all yell, oh, they make a 322 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: lot of noise. But then when the player they do 323 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: like is about to hit the ball that they're totally silent. 324 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: And then when the other side that's rooting for the 325 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: guy that's had the noise says, well, we're gonna make noise, 326 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: do this, and now, how dare you show respect? Be respectful? 327 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: They only want respect when it goes their way. They 328 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: only want the process to play out when it hurts Trump. 329 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: The moment that it doesn't hurt Trump or whatever, then 330 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: then the processes is irrelevant to them, or the moment 331 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: the process will help Trump. They want to disregard it 332 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: right away. What they know in the meantime is that 333 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: they thoroughly, thoroughly do not want to get answers from 334 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: Bob Muller in front of the American public because it's 335 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: pretty there's some questions that that would immediately come up. 336 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: Immediately come up, and what could the answers possibly be. 337 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: Why is it, Mueller that you held that very weird 338 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: press conference was completely unnecessary unless you were trying to 339 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: just give a shove to the Democrats in Congress to 340 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: impeach the president. I no fair minded, serious person can 341 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: look at what Bob Muller has done and come away 342 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: from it thinking, oh, yeah, this guy didn't have an 343 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: AXA grind against the president. He's fine. No, there's no 344 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: problem here. Of course, he did a two year long 345 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: investigation for laying out, essentially laying out obstruction the whole 346 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: Russia interference thing that could have been done on the DJ. 347 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: There was no need for a special counsel on that. 348 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: The only reason and remember they all you don't remember, 349 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: they hope that no one pays attention. The only reason 350 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: for a special counsel was the inability of the DOJ 351 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: working for President Trump to be trusted, according to some 352 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: people in the J who are Obama pointees, because of 353 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: the possibility of Russia and the President working together. If 354 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: it were just Russian interference the election, you could have 355 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: had a DJ investigation of that, no problem. Still brought 356 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: the same charges that Mueller brought against those Russian troll 357 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: farms that are just really just showboating, don't don't do anything, 358 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: have no real effective force. But no, they spent all 359 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: this time putting together eleven cases of possible obstruction that 360 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: when you read them, you see there there's only one 361 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: where you could even make a vague and tortured and 362 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: stretched case of even really never mind obstruction, even impropriety. 363 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: The other ones are ridiculous, ridiculous, and yet Mueller put 364 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: them in there. But they're gonna be running over time, 365 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: my friends, to try to prevent this from getting out. 366 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: It's where you're here. We are in June, and you've 367 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: got some people that are very concerned about just what 368 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: is going to be found out in this whole process. 369 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: Here's former Attorney General Michael Mukazee on exactly what is 370 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: at work here when it comes to the anti bar 371 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: anti Bill Barr narrative out there played twenty one. There 372 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: are a lot of nervous people in Washington when he 373 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: decided that he was going to investigate how this ule 374 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: got started. I think a lot of people got very nervous. 375 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that the Mulla report, the first line 376 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: says that they opened the file in twenty sixteen after 377 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: Papadopolis had this conversation in the bar. That's not what 378 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: started the investigation. He's saying. The first line of the 379 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: Mulla report is a lie. It's a former attorney general, 380 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: it's a very smart guy. It is a lie, of 381 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: course it is. Think about what the claim is here 382 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: that you have so called legal experts and former senior 383 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: Obama administration officials who go on TV and pair at 384 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: this stuff. Papadopoulos allegedly and disputedly claims that he heard 385 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: something from some guy who allegedly and disputedly said something about, 386 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: you know, Russia getting emails from Hillary or whatever, and 387 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: they opened up a full FBI field investigation based on that. 388 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: I mean to think that that's reasonable and rational, you'd 389 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: have to say, Buck, did you every time you got 390 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: a an anonymous tip when you're at the NYPD about 391 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: how bin Laden was hiding under was hiding under someone's bed, 392 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: you know in Queens, why didn't you investigate that right away? 393 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: Why didn't you put all your best guys on it? Well, 394 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: because you'd think there's some degree of verification and some 395 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: professionalism in the approach of people that have these kinds 396 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: of powers. But if you thought that about the FBI 397 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: under the Obama administration with the Trump campaign in full swing, 398 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: you'd be wrong. This is what we are told this 399 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: is what happens. This is the reality that we were 400 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: all facing. We have uh to talk about how Dems 401 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: hate the NRA, how Libs hate gun owners. That's coming up. 402 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: If I can't get, I'm the only candidate calling for 403 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: a band and buy back on every single assault weapon. 404 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: But I also believe that's invested in jobs and education, 405 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: block by block. If I can't get, because of course 406 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: you mentioned, you mentioned your plan for a mandatory buyback 407 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: of assault weapons, weapons of war as you call them. 408 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: You told my colleague Jake Tapper that you'd be willing 409 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: to support criminal prosecution of people who don't follow if 410 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: that that requirement, if it were to become law. So 411 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: under a president Swalwell, you are saying that some Americans 412 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: would indeed have to give up their guns. Yeah, and 413 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm proposing something that Australia. Did you know in the nineties, 414 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: Eric Swalwell, he's a zero percenter, meaning he's not yet 415 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: at one percent support. I believe he's in the zero percentile. 416 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: Eric Swalwell, there is letting it be known that he 417 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: does he wants to take your guns. Let's let's not 418 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: let's not get this confused. Let's not get this to us. 419 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: He wants to take your guns. He believes the guns 420 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: should be taken from your home. It talks about Australia's 421 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: mandatory buyback program. Okay, how many times do you have 422 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: to go over this? Australia's buyback program involved the grand 423 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: total of a few million firearms and a much smaller country, 424 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: and in fact there was less There are more firearms 425 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: in private hands today than at the height of the 426 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: buyback or the moment right after the buyback program essentially 427 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: wound out, although it kind of went on for many 428 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: years because the buyback program didn't do anything because criminals 429 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: don't care about the buyback program and it's not a 430 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: successful way of not an effective way of trying to 431 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: reduce gun crime. But if we were really serious about 432 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: about reducing gun crime, wouldn't we Instead of Eric Swalwell 433 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: talking to us about how semi automatic rifles which is 434 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: what he's discussing and calls them weapons of war, which 435 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, a bolt action those of you who actually 436 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: have some familiarity with firearms, which I know is a 437 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: large law percentage of this audience, you know a bolt 438 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: action rifle can be a weapon of war. There are 439 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: there are marine snipers that still use a bolt action rifle. 440 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: Weapons of war is a nonsense term. What does it 441 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: even mean? Is a side arm? Is a nine millimeter 442 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: or a forty five caliber hand got a weapon of war? 443 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: Of course? It is. How many people you know in 444 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: war zones? I've carry a side arm in a war zone. 445 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm pretty darned sure it's a weapon of war if 446 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: I needed to, and what have shot somebody with it 447 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: in a war zone? It's a weapon of war. So 448 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: why do they use that term, Well, because they're trying 449 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: to stigmatize Second Amendment supporters and Second Amendment or gun 450 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: owners across the board. And that's really what this is about. 451 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: And I want to you know, while there's a part 452 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: of it wants to talk about the specifics of this 453 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: band or that band and how it doesn't really doesn't 454 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: really matter. They they do this, meaning Democrats, they push 455 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: this stuff. They stigmatize gun owners because they want to 456 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: show their base that they don't like those people. If 457 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: it were about dealing with gun violence, don't you think 458 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: you'd hear from these democrats a lot more people like 459 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: Swallow and Jilabrand about how fifty people were shot in 460 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: Chicago over the weekend. Fifty people in just a couple 461 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: of parts of Chicago. Five zero that's a lot of 462 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: ten of them were killed. Fifty shot at and Chicago 463 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: is one of the most restrictive jurisdictions in the country 464 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: for guns. And then they say, oh, but fuck, that's 465 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: because of neighboring jurisdictions. All right, Well, neighboring jurisdictions don't 466 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: have a oh you can bring your gun into Chicago loophole. 467 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: It's still illegal to have your gun in Chicago. So 468 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: why we'll passing more gun laws do anything about the 469 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: neighboring jurisdiction problem. No, what it means is that you'll 470 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: have someone who's allegal concealed carry permit holder who drives 471 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: into the wrong I'm sorry, producer might tells me it's 472 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: actually fifty two were shot in Chicago for the weekend. Mike, 473 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, fifty two one city. Why can't they 474 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: more effectively deal with that violence? That is another question 475 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: that I never never get a worthwhile answer to. I 476 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: ask people about gun violence in Chicago, and I've had 477 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: this conversation with Democrats and the immediately turn to police violence. 478 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: No, no no, no, no, it's not the police that shot 479 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: fifty two people. That's not it's not a police violence problem. 480 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,239 Speaker 1: I'm sorry you don't get to. But they don't want 481 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: to talk about what's causing violence in Chicago because that's 482 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: not a fun talking point for Democrats. They want their base, 483 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: they want the left to know that they don't like 484 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: gun owners, that gun owners are bad people, they're mean people. 485 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: They are you know, foolish, simple minded, xenophobic, racist a 486 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: lot and live in the Bible Belt and in the 487 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: South where that's what they think of gun owners, or 488 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: they live in you know, Texas, places like that that's 489 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: what they think of gun owners. And this is why 490 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: you have someone like Kurston Jilla Brand, who is really 491 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: that she's trying to be the Pandora in chief. I mean, 492 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: she'll say anything. I mean, I wish I could sit 493 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: in on the Gila Brand consultant meetings that happened, I'm 494 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: sure every day, or they say, you know, here's your 495 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: messaging for today, and she just goes okay. I will 496 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 1: say that it's like they're programming some kind of a 497 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: brainless Democrat robot. Whatever it needs to be said, I 498 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: will say, doesn't matter what I used to say here, 499 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,479 Speaker 1: she is really trying to outdo the competition, the crazy 500 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: left wing competition on guns. And you can hear for 501 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: yourself play nine. And I think the most outrageous thing 502 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: that's happened to our democracy is how much fear and 503 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: division and hate has been spread. I think the NRA 504 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: is the worst organization in this country for doing exactly that. 505 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: They care more about their profits than the American people. 506 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: They care more about selling guns to someone on the 507 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: terror watch list, or someone with grave mental illness, or 508 00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: someone who has a violent criminal background, all lies. I mean, 509 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if she's so stupid 510 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: that she does not realize that these are lies, or 511 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: if she's so reckless she just does not care. It 512 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: is a tough call. It is not something that I 513 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: could easily tell you one way or the other. I mean, 514 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: there's a case you made that maybe she is such 515 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: an airhead that she doesn't know what she's saying. Isn't 516 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: true that that the NRA absolutely does not does not 517 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: advocate for selling weapons to people that are gravely mentally ill. 518 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: It is already illegal to sell a fire and the 519 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: NRA does not try to change any laws where a 520 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: violent criminal could or where bands a violent criminal from 521 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: buying a firearm. But the facts are not something that 522 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: Kristin Kirstin and see Kristin Kirsten Kirsten Gillibrand troubles herself 523 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: much with it. Remember, this is the woman, folks, who 524 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: one of the women, I should say, who wants to 525 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: be the next president of the United States. That's right, 526 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: We're supposed to feel like we'll sleep better at night 527 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: if we replaced Trump with her? Why exactly? She's what 528 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: do you get? What's the improvement with Jelo? If you 529 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: just want classic left wing non thinking, brainless talking points, 530 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: but you want the progressive policy apparatus behind it, then 531 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, Jila Brand's fine. He just check the 532 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: identity politics box by being a woman. That's all they 533 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,479 Speaker 1: really care about right now. I guess finding somebody they 534 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: can shoehorn into the White House who gives them some 535 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: claim to democrats, some claim to diversity. At least that's 536 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: what the left wants. You know, they're still clinging to 537 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 1: Bernie and and Biden at the top of the at 538 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: the top of the polls right now. So who knows. 539 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: But here's what Jilla Brand said about the bum stock 540 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: band play ten. Is there anything you could have done 541 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: that would have stopped this terrible incident? Yeah, stopping beholden 542 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: to the NRA, like President Trump is. He does President 543 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: Trump's bidding. Remember after the shooting in Las Vegas, he said, yeah, yeah, 544 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna ban the bum stocks. Did he ban the 545 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: bum stocks? No? Because the NRA came crashing down. She's wrong. 546 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: They did band bump stocks. They are now illegal to own, 547 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:19,479 Speaker 1: by or sell. President Trump took that action and issued 548 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,719 Speaker 1: the band gave them ninety days to turn them in 549 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: or bump stocks, as some of you know, it's really 550 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: just a thing that allows you to engage in a 551 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: type of a method of firing a weapon. But does 552 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: do you think that the fact checkers the Washington Post 553 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: are running around with their hair on fire. I mean 554 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: maybe they put it on some back page somewhere, But 555 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Juliah Brand lied about Trump and bumping now, 556 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: of course not because it's when Julah Brand lies, you see, 557 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: it's a good lie. This is the way the media 558 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: breaks this stuff down. This is how the Democrats view it. 559 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: They are good lies and bad lies. When Trump lies 560 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: bad and it's not even necessarily a lie. When Trump 561 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: says that he's the handsomest they call him a liar. 562 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if you think Trump is the handsomest 563 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: man in the world or not. But the President is 564 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: allowed to think that and say that without everyone jumping 565 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: down is you know, jumping on his chest yelling about 566 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: how he's a liar. He's not a liar. He may 567 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: be may have a little bit of a high self regard, 568 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 1: perhaps a little narcissistic, but it's not a liar. Jilla 569 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: Brand is a liar saying things about the NRA that 570 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: aren't true. The worst organization in America, though, isn't that remarkable? 571 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: You know, I'm somebody who's paid NRA dues. Really, I'm 572 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm the worst. I'm I'm supporting the worst organization of 573 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: America in might dollars. It's it's a remarkable thing for 574 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: them to say. But this is this is Democrats, all 575 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: the stuff about guns, and this is why I'm so 576 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: I just have no patience for these stupid Democrats on 577 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: this issue. It's really not about gun violence. That's not 578 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: the that they say. That is their concern. That is 579 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: not true. It is not about gun violence. The real concern, 580 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: the primary concern, is showing the left and the base 581 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: of the left that they dislike gun owners. It is 582 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: tipathy for you who listen to this show who own firearms. 583 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: They want all their little voters in the most blue 584 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: cities in the country to know gun owners are bad 585 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: people and we don't like them. The NRA is the 586 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: worst organization in the country because that gets donations going, 587 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: It gets media coverage from foolish libs who work for 588 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: all these different news organizations who don't know anything about firearms, 589 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 1: who don't know anything about guns. They just know guns 590 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: bad and gun owner's bad too. Remember that. Don't let 591 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: them try to create this artificial separation, because as far 592 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: as they're concerned, there is no separation guns and gun owners. 593 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: Leftists hate them both, my friends, unfortunately, but that's the reality. 594 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: Let's kick this one off with a Trump tweet, shall we. 595 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: I believe that if people stop using or subscribing to 596 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: A T and T, they'd be forced to make big 597 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: changes at CNN, which is dying in the ratings anyway. 598 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: It is so unfair, such bad fake news. Why wouldn't 599 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: they act when the world watches CNN, it gets a 600 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: false picture of the USA said, he is absolutely right 601 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: about CNN, and I like that he goes after them 602 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: here and just says what needs to be said CNN 603 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: is is American anti American propaganda, and it's time that 604 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: finally we are open to the discussion about what that 605 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: what that should mean for them going forward. I mean, 606 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: you know, I like the Trump let's let's it rip 607 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 1: on this stuff. And I just I'll note that after 608 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: my time in China, where I was seeing so much 609 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: of the anti American nous on CNN International, Trump pushing 610 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: back on this and saying that people should put pressure 611 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: in at and T. You know, this is where you 612 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: have the conservatives who jump out and say, oh no, no, no, 613 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: we don't do that, we don't do that. Not to that, 614 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: I say, well, what do we do? Suffer in silence? 615 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 1: Why is it that corporate culture has been in my 616 00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: in my adult lifetime, effectively taken over by the left. 617 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,800 Speaker 1: Why does Disney feel so fine with saying that George 618 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 1: They're going to punish the entire state of Georgia for 619 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: a completely legitimate legislative act of the Georgia State Assembly. 620 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: Why do they think that that's okay, meaning that they 621 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: won't even have any pushback, meaningful pushback from it. Why 622 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: why do we know that cities or different localities discriminating 623 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: against Chick fil A because it is a company that 624 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: tries to promote Christian values. Why do we know that 625 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: that they feel very safe, they feel very safe doing 626 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: these things, that they can hound people out of their jobs, 627 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: they can get them fired, they can ruin them because 628 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: they don't support leftist orthodoxy or because they run a 629 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: foul of in some way leftist orthodoxy. Do we just 630 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 1: allow this to continue? You know? This brings me into 631 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: something of the discussion over wartime versus peacetime conservatism that 632 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: has broken out recently. I don't know how much of 633 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: how many of you have been. This is kind of 634 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: deep in the weeds, blue check journo stuff. But apparently 635 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,800 Speaker 1: the peacetime conservatives are coming from me. Hear the sirens 636 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: in the background. But no, this is this is something 637 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 1: that has blown out in the open the last week 638 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: or so as a function of the debate between David French, 639 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,919 Speaker 1: somebody who you know well who listened to the show 640 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 1: from when he used to appear pretty regularly. He is 641 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 1: a senior writer at National Review, and Sir Rob Amari, 642 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: who you also know. I mean, these are two guys 643 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: I've had on the show a lot. Sir Rob is 644 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,919 Speaker 1: a writer at Commentary and recently put a book out, 645 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: And I cannot do justice to both of their individual 646 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 1: conservative political philosophies. And I have invited Sir Rob, and 647 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to invite David on and I want them 648 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 1: to speak for themselves. But the issue boils down at 649 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: some level too. You know, do you sometimes have to 650 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: just roll up the sleeves and win? You know, do 651 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 1: you have to be willing to use the state to 652 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,280 Speaker 1: achieve conservative ends instead of just the taking this hands 653 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: off attitude of well, if we create an even playing field, 654 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 1: then conservative ideas will win out on the other side 655 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: keeps winning victories using the mechanisms of the state, And 656 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 1: not only do they win, but then they run around 657 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 1: and bayonet the survivors. I mean that then they run 658 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: around and really ram it into our faces. You know, Oh, 659 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: not only do we need laws that say that, you know, 660 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: a man can compete in women's athletics, but if you 661 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: have a problem with that, you're violating that individual civil rights. 662 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: And you know, you should be prosecuted. And it's not 663 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: enough to get their way. They want to get their 664 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: way and crush those who dissent. What's the best way 665 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: to deal with it? The frenchie in way, although I 666 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: know I'm sure David would would quibble with this, disagree 667 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: with this, is to use the processes that are in place. 668 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: Take it to court, you know, fight it out and 669 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: try to make the case, try to persuade the other side. 670 00:39:55,400 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: Try to use the more Sarabamari way is how do 671 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: we smash the argument of the other side. Take power, 672 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 1: take the power of the state into our own hands 673 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: for limited purposes, and achieve conservative ends, to achieve conservative 674 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: policy solutions. You know, it's it's really the more the 675 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: more Trumpian approach. And I think it's it's a fascining debate. 676 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: I think there's very interesting dynamics on both sides, and 677 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 1: I do believe it also revisits that schism that we 678 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: all saw from when during that and look, I was 679 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: you know this who listened to the show. I was 680 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: initially a Ted Cruise supporter, and I was skeptical of Trump. 681 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,320 Speaker 1: I was never anti Trump, but I was skeptical in 682 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: the early days and then I realized over time, oh wait, 683 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: this is something, This is different. This is a movement, 684 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: and this is a sea change. This is a separation 685 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: from the politics of the past. This needs to be 686 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: taken very, very seriously. Not every word that Trump breathes 687 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: need to be taken seriously, right we learn this, don't 688 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: take Trump literally, but take him seriously. But that that 689 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: debate within conservatism and the kind of Romney asque losing 690 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: like a gentleman, that is something that is going to 691 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: peat itself now, I think heading into the general election, 692 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 1: and we see it with things like how to respond 693 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: to the very aggressive comments of Disney, one of the 694 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: most powerful and iconic American companies in the world, clearly 695 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: saying that you know, if you're pro life, we don't 696 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: like you. That's what Disney. You know, this is up 697 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 1: there with Coca Cola. I mean, this is up there 698 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: with the most iconic American brands. You know, this be 699 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 1: like Ralph Lauren saying, and I don't even want to 700 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: know Ralph Lauren thinks on a corporate level, but Ralph 701 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 1: Lauren saying, you know, if you're pro life, you're not 702 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 1: welcome in our stores. You're not welcome to shop with 703 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: us if you're pro life. I'm sure that there are 704 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: plenty of people at the very top of corporate America 705 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: who feel that way about about those who are pro life. 706 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: And you'll note that the the converse there is the 707 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: obverse to converse. The contrary position is almost never articulated. 708 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't think of one off the top 709 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: of my head where a major corporate official in America 710 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: says that if you are a conservative, you are not welcome. 711 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: You are not you know, part of our family. Sorry, 712 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 1: if you are a liberal, pardon me. If you're a liberal, 713 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: you are not welcome. You're not part of our family. 714 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: You're not somebody that can be involved in what we're doing. 715 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: I can't think of that being the case. So how 716 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: do we respond to that? I mean, Trump's saying that 717 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 1: AT and T should be pressured because of CNN. How 718 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: badly for cn AM I supposed to feel When I 719 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: know that CNN anchors will individually reach out and use 720 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: the power of their organization behind the scenes to try 721 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: to crush conservative voices. I know about this personally. CNN 722 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 1: on a corporate level will exert its influence and its 723 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: power to try and crush, not just any competitors that 724 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 1: it can, but obviously to stifle and ostracized conservative voices. 725 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 1: You know, it's a lib propaganda outlet, that's what it is. 726 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,840 Speaker 1: So shouldn't we be willing to take our dollars elsewhere 727 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: and show you know, this is really a conversation about 728 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 1: should conservatives start to boycott two folks? Do we need 729 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: to fight fire with fire. I've been around for a 730 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: long time now in this game, We're not that long 731 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: compared to others, but I've been around for a while 732 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 1: and us making the Burkean HIJACKI in, let's just level 733 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 1: the market and let's just let things play out while 734 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: we make our good arguments. You know, we're making that 735 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 1: argument sometimes while they're stomping our face into the curve. 736 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that this really has the intended effect. 737 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: And I do think that that is the recognition of 738 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 1: the Trump era that we've been getting crushed on the 739 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 1: government by the government when it comes to social issues 740 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 1: for a long time. You know, we have now on 741 00:43:55,480 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 1: the fight over gender and gender binarity. I don't know 742 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 1: if that's a word, but the gender binary construct male female. 743 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,840 Speaker 1: You know, they're not just making a social argument there, 744 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: leveraging the power of the state so that your kids 745 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: now are going to be learning, you know, in the 746 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: fifth grade in California that if if they're at if 747 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: they feel like a woman, one day they're actually a woman. 748 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: And this is gonna be this stuff is gonna get mandated, 749 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: This stuff is gonna be jammed down your throats. Is 750 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,800 Speaker 1: the response to that to ask them to get a 751 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:32,359 Speaker 1: subscription to you know, the Weekly Standard R I p uh. 752 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: You know what are you supposed to do? Are we? 753 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 1: Are we to take action in response to the aggression 754 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: of the left or not? And I mean action on 755 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: a corporate level, financial action. Look, there's there's a degree 756 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:51,879 Speaker 1: of this. The conservative versus liberal corporate sphere right now 757 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 1: reminds me a little bit of the way that the 758 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: US and China trade has gone. You know, on US 759 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: China trade, we're told we want to be free traders. 760 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 1: Free trade creates well, free trade creates, free trade creates prosperity, 761 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,319 Speaker 1: and you know, we need to really focus in on 762 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:13,320 Speaker 1: this stuff. And to that, I say, okay, but China 763 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 1: is not a free trade country with US. China has 764 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: all kinds of tariffs and there are other ways too, 765 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 1: that they they stack the deck in favor of their 766 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 1: state owned or state supported enterprises, and they are getting 767 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 1: a free ride on our products through intellectual property theft. 768 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 1: And you know, there's all kinds of bats. So we 769 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,879 Speaker 1: can sit here and just stamp our feet and say 770 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, we're not going to do anything in 771 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 1: response because we're free traders. There's a little bit of 772 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,880 Speaker 1: that with corporate America and the liberal dominance, the dominance 773 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: of liberal narratives in the in the C suite across 774 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 1: the country. We don't we don't want to be punitive 775 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: and nasty to people because they're liberals. But can we 776 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 1: at least penalize corporations that are going to take these 777 00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: this kind of a line. Are we going to push 778 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,879 Speaker 1: back or just keep getting slapped around? I mean there 779 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,360 Speaker 1: is a there's a little bit of a of a 780 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:11,919 Speaker 1: conservative uh you know, overtolerance of well, if we just 781 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, if we just engage in you know, peaceful resistance, 782 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,880 Speaker 1: if we go the Gandhi the Gandhi routine, you know, 783 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: eventually the other side will see the light if we 784 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: do peaceful resistance and make our case. And to that, 785 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: I say, well, you know, not if you're dealing I 786 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 1: was gonna go with this, but you know, not if 787 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,759 Speaker 1: you're dealing with the Nazis is not going to make 788 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: the case for you. You know, we got to remind 789 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 1: ourselves a little bit of Bonhofer here. You know, there 790 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 1: comes a time when and I know we're going to 791 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 1: the Nazi path. I'm not saying they're dealing with Nazis, 792 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,760 Speaker 1: but just there are there are times when you realize 793 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 1: that you got to change up your tactics because the 794 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: other side is just gonna cheat and they're just gonna 795 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: keep winning. They're just gonna keep winning. So Trump's tweet here, 796 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't got a lot of attention about stopping subscription 797 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,959 Speaker 1: to AT and T in order to bring bring about 798 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: change at CNN. I mean, you know, Jeff, Jeff Zucker 799 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 1: at CNN should go. CNN has become, to anyone paying attention, 800 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 1: who's honest, a laughing stock. It's not a news organization anymore. 801 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,560 Speaker 1: It is a It is a straight up propaganda channel. 802 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 1: They say all kinds of terrible things about Fox News 803 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,240 Speaker 1: on their air, and yet they get all all huffy 804 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 1: when you know, in response, the President says, well, look 805 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 1: at you guys, you're you're the opposite of State TV. 806 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 1: You're you're something else. You're anti State TV, You're anti 807 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 1: Trump TV. I do want us to fight back. I 808 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 1: do think it's not enough to sit around and hope 809 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 1: that the market will the market as it stands now, right, 810 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,799 Speaker 1: not a free market that is fair and open the 811 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,400 Speaker 1: marketers that stands now, which has all kinds of inefficiencies 812 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 1: and bureaucracies and biases built into it. I do think 813 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 1: that's a problem, speaking of how we fight back and 814 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,920 Speaker 1: the not fair free market of ideas social media. I 815 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:54,880 Speaker 1: got some thoughts on this one that a lot of 816 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 1: a lot of attention being paid to the fact that 817 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:04,239 Speaker 1: you have the FTC, Federal Trade Commission going to be 818 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 1: looking at Facebook. Everybody. This could be a big thing, 819 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:11,879 Speaker 1: a big deal, big situation. I have important thoughts on this. 820 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,239 Speaker 1: And also we'll be joined by my friend Will Chamber 821 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,320 Speaker 1: from Human Events to discuss more coming up. The Federal 822 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 1: Trade Commission, which would be leading any anti trust action 823 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 1: into Facebook. They now have they now have gotten this 824 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 1: thing started, folks. They're going to lead any anti trust 825 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 1: investigation to Facebook. This is the early stage of what 826 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 1: could be the breakup of the social media giant. Now 827 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 1: will it be broken up? Who knows. We have to 828 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 1: see how this shakes out. I'm sure Facebook will fight 829 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 1: very hard to prevent that. But this is an issue 830 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: that everyone has to If you care about politics in America, 831 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,800 Speaker 1: if you care about culture and an American society in 832 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: the future of this country, you are forced to care 833 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,359 Speaker 1: at some level about these social media giants. Even if 834 00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:58,799 Speaker 1: you don't. And I know some of you who listen 835 00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 1: don't have a Facebook account, have a Twitter account, have 836 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,719 Speaker 1: an Instagram account. This stuff affects all that's going on 837 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: around you. It affects the affects elections, it affects our discourse, 838 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,399 Speaker 1: how we discuss issues, what we learn, what we know, 839 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 1: how we communicate, and the amount of power that has 840 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 1: concentrated in the hands of just Facebook is pretty staggering. 841 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 1: There's nothing in the in the history of humanity that 842 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:40,880 Speaker 1: can really rival Facebook's ability to censor, magnify, disrupt, deflect, conversation, 843 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 1: information flow. It is incredible, incredible in the sense that 844 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: it's hard to believe it's not incredible. Is an awesome 845 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,399 Speaker 1: So what Facebook has offered so far as well, We're 846 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna come up with some kind of internal 847 00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,799 Speaker 1: rules and commissions, we won't rules the road because they've 848 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:02,359 Speaker 1: been playing this game where they're platform and publisher. So 849 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 1: they don't want to be held responsible for what is 850 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 1: on their platform because it's obviously content generated by users 851 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,279 Speaker 1: and you don't know what crazy people and all kinds 852 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,319 Speaker 1: of people are going to put on there. But they 853 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: so they don't want to be responsible for that. But 854 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,640 Speaker 1: they also want the ability to censor what some people 855 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 1: do and establish these terms of service. So they to me, 856 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 1: it seemed like they really want to have it both ways. 857 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,839 Speaker 1: And yet this is a company that is worth over 858 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:35,440 Speaker 1: five hundred billion dollars and by some estimates has about 859 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,880 Speaker 1: three quarters of all social networking revenue. And it is 860 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:43,800 Speaker 1: a true giant. And you know we're talking about Trump 861 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,959 Speaker 1: before and how he wants pressure on AT and T. Well, 862 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 1: the Justice Department precedent that most people will point to 863 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 1: for a breakup a possible breakup of Facebook is that 864 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: of AT and T back in the nineteen fifties. Right, 865 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 1: AT and T many of us now think of as 866 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,120 Speaker 1: a self own cell phone company provider. Right they give 867 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,359 Speaker 1: your cell service or your phone service. But they used 868 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:09,839 Speaker 1: to be old landline phones, as you know, and they 869 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 1: provided all kinds of telecommunications equipment. The government sued AT 870 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 1: and T under antitrust and then there was all there 871 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:24,759 Speaker 1: was a whole you know, there's a consent aim out 872 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 1: of it, and AT and T had to put out 873 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,880 Speaker 1: its its patents and also wasn't allowed to just jump 874 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 1: into and try to control the computer industry you look 875 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 1: at So that was then, and now you know, AT 876 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: and T is still around today, still a very large company, 877 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 1: and I believe the stock did well after the initial break. 878 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 1: But if there is any case to be made ever 879 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,600 Speaker 1: that somebody is too powerful, a guy like Mark Zuckerberg 880 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: who has sixty percent of the voting shares of Facebook, 881 00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:02,360 Speaker 1: and Facebook owns Instagram and WhatsApp billion of users and 882 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 1: can determine, you know, what the algorithms do, what news 883 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,400 Speaker 1: people see, what the privacy settings are. You know, what 884 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: is protected speech is what is beyond the protection First 885 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 1: Amendment protection, or rather Facebook's First Amendment protection. Who knows 886 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:22,319 Speaker 1: what that even is. There's some really problematic stuff going 887 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 1: on here, and we can hope that somebody else is 888 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,480 Speaker 1: going to come along with another platform and we'll be 889 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,480 Speaker 1: able to compete with Facebook as it stands now. But 890 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:33,399 Speaker 1: Facebook acquires at their platforms, copies aspects of their tech, 891 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,360 Speaker 1: and then just runs them out of business. So what 892 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,840 Speaker 1: does it mean in the meantime? You know, what is 893 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,520 Speaker 1: it to Caines who said in a long run, we're 894 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 1: ald dead. Yeah, maybe they'll be a Facebook competitor in 895 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 1: fifty years, but Facebook right now could pretty much if 896 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 1: it wanted to turn the next election. Do you want 897 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 1: one company to have that kind of power, especially as 898 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley left wing company. They're regulating all of our companies. 899 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 1: There's all kinds of regulation in place that we deal 900 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,240 Speaker 1: with our company, or not even our companies, just American 901 00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,440 Speaker 1: companies deal with day in and day out. Should Facebook 902 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,799 Speaker 1: be immune from all that? For some reason? Why we've 903 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,640 Speaker 1: got my friend Will Chamberlin joining us to talk more 904 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 1: stay with me. So is there a conservative case for 905 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 1: breaking up some of these mega social media corporations out there? 906 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 1: Facebook top of the list, but Google also right there too. 907 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,520 Speaker 1: Some people are pointing at Amazon. Let's talk to our 908 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 1: friend Will Chamberlain about this. He's the publisher of Human Events, 909 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 1: which has been revived and is making all kinds of 910 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:36,240 Speaker 1: waves on the interwebs. Telling people good things about conservatism. 911 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,000 Speaker 1: Mister will, great to have you back, good to be 912 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 1: with you, Buck as always. All right, man, So what's 913 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:46,200 Speaker 1: the what's the move that should be made here about Facebook? 914 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 1: What is the conservative case? Because you know, usually, as 915 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,839 Speaker 1: you know, you'll hear from most mainstream, mainline conservatives makes 916 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:54,880 Speaker 1: it sound like they'll wear monocles and ascots. But you 917 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,360 Speaker 1: know what I mean, you'll hear from the conservative establishment 918 00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 1: that there's no such thing as a monopoly, a monopo. 919 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,200 Speaker 1: These only possible if the government allows it to be, 920 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:07,640 Speaker 1: or rather enforces a monopoly, and so social media cannot 921 00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:11,040 Speaker 1: be a monopoly. You say, what, sir, I mean, let's 922 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,719 Speaker 1: deal of that first. As a matter of economics, I 923 00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,720 Speaker 1: think these companies are very clearly monopoly. You know, Facebook 924 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 1: as a market cap of something like five hundred billion dollars, 925 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 1: Google closer to a trillion. Those are the market caps 926 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,400 Speaker 1: that are not a product of people who think that 927 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,080 Speaker 1: these companies are in a competitive market and are facing 928 00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,480 Speaker 1: serious competition that will reduce their profits. These are You 929 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,800 Speaker 1: get a market cap like that because you've got a 930 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:40,759 Speaker 1: monopoly and can essentially control pricing. And that's why not 931 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,080 Speaker 1: only do you have these massive market caps, but nobody 932 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,320 Speaker 1: in the right mind thinks about competing with Google or Facebook. 933 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 1: Like if you try to go to a venture capitalist 934 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,720 Speaker 1: in Silicon Valley, even somebody who subscribes to the idea 935 00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,439 Speaker 1: that competition here was the way to go. And you said, 936 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to compete with Google. This is I'm going 937 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,399 Speaker 1: to set up a new company. We're going to beat 938 00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 1: them in search stayed laugh you out of the room. 939 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:03,040 Speaker 1: Same thing with book. Yeah, and there's a lot of 940 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 1: ways they go about this, right, They buy, they buy 941 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 1: people out, they crush people, they copy people. I mean, 942 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 1: they the idea that anyone could could compete with them 943 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:13,919 Speaker 1: does seem to be but you know, but they would 944 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 1: point well, and by the way, I mean, I I've 945 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 1: already made my case, you're in the show. I do 946 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 1: think that there should be regulation of this, or rather 947 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 1: there should be a breakup of this for a whole 948 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 1: bunch of different reasons. But the other side would say, well, 949 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 1: what about you know, friends stir and what about what's 950 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,359 Speaker 1: what's the other one called MySpace? And you know they 951 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,480 Speaker 1: could make a comeback, right, I mean, the problem is 952 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 1: there are network effects here, Like you know, MySpace never 953 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,279 Speaker 1: had a dominant monopoly in the way Facebook does now. 954 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,480 Speaker 1: And once you have a network like this where everyone 955 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 1: is there's no reason for people to leave. And moreover, 956 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: the advantages you get in terms of the data collection 957 00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,320 Speaker 1: you have and the information you have on your users, 958 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,840 Speaker 1: they just create this massive competitive mode that's almost impossible 959 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,719 Speaker 1: to surmount. And I think the unique dynamic of the 960 00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,759 Speaker 1: unique winner take all dynamics is really prevalent in tech 961 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 1: makes it so that these anti monopoly arguments just aren't 962 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 1: very good. So why should conservatives care about this? Well, 963 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,760 Speaker 1: because it's not that these companies are using monopoly power 964 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 1: to price gouge so much that's the normal lefty case 965 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 1: about regulating monopolies. This is a new problem. Instead of 966 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 1: price gouging, these companies are using their massive power to 967 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:28,320 Speaker 1: sway politics. And because they're not in a competitive environment, 968 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,320 Speaker 1: you can't just set up a competitor to outcompete them 969 00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 1: when they're doing things that hurt their bottom line for 970 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 1: political ends. So the ability of a company like Facebook 971 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 1: to tweak its algorithm to disabor conservative candidates, or a 972 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:47,360 Speaker 1: Google to demonetize conservative YouTube creators so that conservative commentators 973 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 1: are discouraged for making videos you know, all these things 974 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:55,160 Speaker 1: add up to essentially changing the landscape, the battlefield where 975 00:56:55,239 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 1: where politics is, where politics is resolved. And unless Conservators 976 00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: are willing to use government power to remedy that, to 977 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 1: impose punishments on these companies when they decide the sense 978 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,960 Speaker 1: of conservatives, then we're going to be a structural disadvantage 979 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:12,520 Speaker 1: in elections. And I don't see a reason why the 980 00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 1: conservative movement should tolerate that. I also always wonder how 981 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 1: the because you know, we get on our side, there 982 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,560 Speaker 1: are a lot of Conservatives who oppose this, and this 983 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 1: reminds me a bit of the debate over tariffs, where 984 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 1: they'll just say, you know, free trade and tariffs or taxes. 985 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 1: And the response to that now has become we'll hold 986 00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: on a second, free trade sounds great, we don't. We 987 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,680 Speaker 1: don't have free trade. That's that's not the status quo. 988 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 1: So to start from this position of well, just our 989 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 1: answer to everything is free trade is to ignore the 990 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 1: reality of what is happening. This is specifically with China, 991 00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 1: but actually with the EU, with Canada, with a lot 992 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 1: of places. And I think there's a similar dynamic at 993 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 1: work with the Facebook monopoly break up question because they 994 00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:57,680 Speaker 1: don't seem to understand that Facebook operates as both as 995 00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 1: a publisher and as a platform, right, So sometimes wants 996 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 1: publish or protection, sometimes it wants platform protection. And I mean, 997 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here talking to you on terrestrial radio. There 998 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 1: are all kinds of regulations on what I can say. 999 00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:12,280 Speaker 1: There are all kinds of limitations and issues and FCC 1000 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 1: and this and that and the other thing. So why 1001 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,040 Speaker 1: should Facebook be exempt and write its own rules? Right? 1002 00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 1: I mean, usually this argument about not using the government, 1003 00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,080 Speaker 1: people say it's a principle, but really it's just as 1004 00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,560 Speaker 1: your ristic It's like, as a rule of fun, we 1005 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 1: shouldn't use government to regulate things. But these people aren't 1006 00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,920 Speaker 1: objecting to things like civil rights laws that say, to 1007 00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,680 Speaker 1: you know, hotel owners and restaurant owners, you can't just 1008 00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,400 Speaker 1: turn away black people. Like I don't think most of 1009 00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 1: the people who talk about the virtues of the free 1010 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,920 Speaker 1: market are going around thinking like, wow, we really need 1011 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:44,920 Speaker 1: to get rid of these civil rights laws that are 1012 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,800 Speaker 1: impinging on freedom of association. So for the same token 1013 00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,080 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, to have meaningful free speech, you need 1014 00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 1: to have Facebook and Twitter. You do if you don't 1015 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,440 Speaker 1: have those things it's just very difficult your downstream of communication, 1016 00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,080 Speaker 1: it's very difficult to have any sort of impact. And 1017 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 1: so to protect the constitutional right under the First Amendent 1018 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,520 Speaker 1: of free speech, to make that meaningful, we need to 1019 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:10,360 Speaker 1: think about platform access as a civil right. Now, why 1020 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 1: can't we see a breakthrough of some of the more 1021 00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,320 Speaker 1: specialized platforms. Yeah, people have been saying this for well, 1022 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:24,560 Speaker 1: why why doesn't conservative Facebook work? I mean, conservative Facebook 1023 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 1: is just why would you move on to a different 1024 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:30,000 Speaker 1: another platform when the point of Facebook is really friends 1025 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,640 Speaker 1: and family communication. You know, that's where everybody already is. 1026 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 1: So it's just a it's a hasshole to have one 1027 00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,320 Speaker 1: more app that isn't nearly as functional that doesn't provide 1028 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 1: the same benefit that Facebook does because you can't easily 1029 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,560 Speaker 1: reach out the people you want to reach. So that's Facebook. 1030 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:49,320 Speaker 1: Conservative Twitter has problems because the entire journalistic you know, 1031 00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,280 Speaker 1: industry is on Twitter, along with almost every politician and 1032 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:58,120 Speaker 1: most major public figures. So meaning most serious public square 1033 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,440 Speaker 1: debate happens on Twitter. If you go on your own 1034 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 1: little conservative Twitter website, like you create consort of alternative 1035 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 1: then all you end up with is talking with a 1036 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,720 Speaker 1: few people who've moved over there when the important I guess, 1037 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,840 Speaker 1: the important or the really contested public discussion is happening 1038 01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,160 Speaker 1: on the platform you left. So it just it doesn't 1039 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,440 Speaker 1: really get anywhere that That's what I mean by network effect. 1040 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,160 Speaker 1: There's a winner take all dynamic, and Facebook and Twitter 1041 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:26,440 Speaker 1: have kind of won already, and what's your prescription for 1042 01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,360 Speaker 1: what should happen now? Right? So, I think that it's 1043 01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,920 Speaker 1: a very good start to see that President Trump is 1044 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,320 Speaker 1: starting these anti trust investigations. I think that you know, 1045 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,640 Speaker 1: from his perspective, he should be looking at Facebook and 1046 01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:44,040 Speaker 1: Twitter as adversarial institutions and essentially using levers of power 1047 01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,600 Speaker 1: against them until they decide to start playing fair and 1048 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,200 Speaker 1: not censoring conservatives. In terms of the ideal goal, the 1049 01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:51,840 Speaker 1: kind of law that I want to see in place, 1050 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:53,800 Speaker 1: I want it to be the case that if you 1051 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,480 Speaker 1: are wrongfully banned from social media, I mean your banned 1052 01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,400 Speaker 1: for something that wasn't unlawful, then you should be able 1053 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 1: to walk into court and get your account back the 1054 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:05,320 Speaker 1: very next day and actually instantiate the idea that platform 1055 01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,200 Speaker 1: access as a civil right, and if a company takes 1056 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 1: that away from you without a really really good reason, 1057 01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,520 Speaker 1: then the laws should step in and force them to 1058 01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 1: give you your account back. Sounds good to me, all right, everybody, 1059 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,959 Speaker 1: will Chamberlain over at human Events go to human events 1060 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,400 Speaker 1: dot com to see what they are up to over there. 1061 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,920 Speaker 1: The site has been doing great work. And will we 1062 01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 1: appreciate your time, sir, Thank you so much. Buck, All right, team, 1063 01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,880 Speaker 1: we'll be right back and nasty start to President Trump's 1064 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 1: trip to England. He called Megan Marcole nasty and then 1065 01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,120 Speaker 1: denied it, even though there is actually sound of him 1066 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,120 Speaker 1: saying it. Nasty is a word Trump has used before 1067 01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,480 Speaker 1: to dismiss Hillary Clinton present term called the American Princess 1068 01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:47,120 Speaker 1: nasty Megan Marcle, referring to her as nasty nasty. Trump 1069 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,760 Speaker 1: denied that on Twitter, but roll the tape falling a 1070 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:54,439 Speaker 1: woman nasty is not news now, especially when it comes 1071 01:01:54,440 --> 01:02:00,680 Speaker 1: to women of color. What did Trump do? Oh? Good, heavens? Oh? 1072 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 1: Did he did he step out of line with the 1073 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,400 Speaker 1: with the royal family? Did he say something that was 1074 01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:11,120 Speaker 1: untoward about miss Megan Markle? Oh? No, he called her nasty, 1075 01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,480 Speaker 1: That's what they're saying. Media was so upset Megan Markle. 1076 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:21,560 Speaker 1: How could he? How could he? Sir? Have you no decency, sir, Well, 1077 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: does the media have any accuracy? Let's put aside the 1078 01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 1: decency question for a moment. Does that Does the media 1079 01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:34,280 Speaker 1: care if they're if they're in fact representing a story accurately, 1080 01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 1: because you know, will notice that, you know the line 1081 01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,080 Speaker 1: you take away and I saw fake Jake Tapper over 1082 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,640 Speaker 1: at CNN spreading this over the weekend, among others, the 1083 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,640 Speaker 1: line you'll take away from missus, Well, he just called 1084 01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:48,200 Speaker 1: her nasty. And oh because she's they say, a woman 1085 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,920 Speaker 1: of color, because she is half I believe half African American. 1086 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 1: That makes this sin even worse. Meanwhile, Trump calls everybody names. 1087 01:02:56,080 --> 01:03:00,840 Speaker 1: Trump calls you know, white, black, Asian Latino. Trump will 1088 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,160 Speaker 1: swat at you on Twitter or with a sound bite, 1089 01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,840 Speaker 1: no matter what, even if he used to be your friend. Sometimes, 1090 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, You know, you messed with 1091 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:12,480 Speaker 1: Trump at your peril. Trump is an equal opportunity Twitter stomper. 1092 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,919 Speaker 1: All right, let's let's just skip past the nonsense. It's 1093 01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 1: very obvious, right, Trump is equal opportunity about that stuff. 1094 01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:25,479 Speaker 1: We know this, all right, So what did Trump really say? Though? 1095 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,760 Speaker 1: You know, this is really a case study of sorts 1096 01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:33,440 Speaker 1: in fake news. What did Trump say play clip six. Megan, 1097 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:38,000 Speaker 1: who's now the Duchess of Sussex. RIGHTO, we've done a 1098 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,600 Speaker 1: different name. She can't make it because she's got maternity leave. 1099 01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:42,640 Speaker 1: Are you sorry to see her because she wasn't so 1100 01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 1: nice about you during the campaign. I don't know if 1101 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,800 Speaker 1: you saw that. I don't. I didn't know that. No, yeah, 1102 01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:50,439 Speaker 1: I didn't know. No. I hope she's okay. I did 1103 01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,640 Speaker 1: not know that. She said she moved to Canada if 1104 01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,680 Speaker 1: you got elected. Turned out she moved to Britain. Think 1105 01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:00,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people moving here, So can I 1106 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,080 Speaker 1: say no, I didn't know that she was nasty an 1107 01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:07,560 Speaker 1: American princess. I think it's nice. I think it's nice, 1108 01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:13,440 Speaker 1: and I'm sure she'll do excellently. She'll be she'll be 1109 01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:16,000 Speaker 1: very good, should be very good. I hope she does. 1110 01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:21,800 Speaker 1: It is a misrepresentation of the context and of the 1111 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,040 Speaker 1: spirit of what that exchange was. Just to just pull 1112 01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 1: out that he called her nasty. He was responding. I 1113 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,600 Speaker 1: mean he was pushed into this. They're saying this woman 1114 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 1: said something bad about you, and his response was to say, 1115 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:37,680 Speaker 1: in full well, I didn't realize she said that not 1116 01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,560 Speaker 1: nice thing about me. But I think she'll be great 1117 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 1: in this role here in Britain. That's what he really said. Now, 1118 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:49,800 Speaker 1: is it as as a function of pure um, you know, 1119 01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:54,160 Speaker 1: a pure one word quotation. Is it true to say 1120 01:04:54,240 --> 01:05:00,320 Speaker 1: that he referred to Megan markle In with the word nasty. Well, 1121 01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, even that's a little bit of stretch, because 1122 01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:05,320 Speaker 1: he really was referring to what she had said as 1123 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,560 Speaker 1: nasty if you listen in context, which this matters, right, 1124 01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 1: this is the I'm sure some of you, with your 1125 01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:14,680 Speaker 1: husbands and wives, significant others, you know, there's a difference 1126 01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:18,560 Speaker 1: between you were being a jerk and you are a jerk.

Fishing for 1136 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:46,960 Speaker 1: compliments here on the Buck Sexton Show, But no really 1137 01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,720 Speaker 1: like there's a difference in context, there's a difference in 1138 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 1: how it was portrayed, but they don't care. They just 1139 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,640 Speaker 1: want to go with the with the fake news. They 1140 01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:57,880 Speaker 1: just want to continue to right. I mean, Mike, I 1141 01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 1: mean when you saw this, they were running with this 1142 01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:02,320 Speaker 1: all weekend. It was insane. It was insane. Actually when 1143 01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,840 Speaker 1: you when you called me there, I was actually looking 1144 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,720 Speaker 1: for There are several articles and several times previous to 1145 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:10,760 Speaker 1: this where Markle has slammed the president and she has 1146 01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 1: gone out of our way. This is, I think, to me, 1147 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 1: is another example of Trump counterpunching. She has blasted him 1148 01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:20,160 Speaker 1: in the past, much as other people in the UK have, 1149 01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,640 Speaker 1: and this is this Trump turning around saying, you know what, 1150 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,919 Speaker 1: I don't know. She was nasty whatever it was telling mischaracterized, 1151 01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:28,760 Speaker 1: but she has taken the first punch at him, and 1152 01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,960 Speaker 1: nobody's talking about that. Yeah. And it's also just such 1153 01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:35,760 Speaker 1: a stupid, spoiled brat thing to say if somebody becomes president, 1154 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,400 Speaker 1: really you're gonna bail on your country that quickly someone 1155 01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 1: comes president, you don't like he's probably only gonna last. 1156 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:42,800 Speaker 1: I mean, according to libs four years in the role, Right, 1157 01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,439 Speaker 1: you can't handle. For you, there's such this thing. Libs 1158 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 1: are such emotional babies. You see it over and over again. 1159 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:50,760 Speaker 1: Such a bunch of babies. I had to sit here 1160 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 1: for eight years of Obama. Oh oh, he's brilliant, he's 1161 01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,800 Speaker 1: a juniors, he's amazing, he's perfect, he's like a god. No, 1162 01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,400 Speaker 1: that guy's actually full of himself, pretty boring, doesn't have 1163 01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,080 Speaker 1: any good ideas, and you know, managed to play the 1164 01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,560 Speaker 1: system really well to get where he was. But I 1165 01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 1: wasn't like, I'm gonna leave America. You know, I think 1166 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,920 Speaker 1: you conservatives don't threatened to leave America every time. I 1167 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:13,120 Speaker 1: wasn't even gonna leave America. Have Hello, Hillary became president 1168 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,200 Speaker 1: and that shows dedication. That's how much I love this place. 1169 01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:20,760 Speaker 1: So I just telling people, man, you know, they gotta lives, 1170 01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,120 Speaker 1: need to take a chill pill. You know, plenty of 1171 01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:24,680 Speaker 1: them take all kinds of pills. They should take a 1172 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,439 Speaker 1: chill pill. That would be a better way for them 1173 01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,200 Speaker 1: to handle the stuff going forward. Did we also the 1174 01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,479 Speaker 1: president of Mike talking about just how things are gonna 1175 01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:37,640 Speaker 1: go with Well, here here's Nigel Farage in saying that 1176 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:39,280 Speaker 1: the people in the UK are like in the trump'ster 1177 01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:43,560 Speaker 1: playing nineteen. I mean, look three years ago I was 1178 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,320 Speaker 1: almost the only person in Britain starting up fighting with 1179 01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and saying he was the right person. It 1180 01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 1: was a very lovely place. What people have seen in 1181 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,640 Speaker 1: this country are governments that get elected on promises and 1182 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,320 Speaker 1: then break them. And in America you've got a president 1183 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,440 Speaker 1: who was what he said he was elected to do. 1184 01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,800 Speaker 1: The label on the tin is right and he is 1185 01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,280 Speaker 1: earning credibility. His approval rating in Britton is now a third, 1186 01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,040 Speaker 1: but it was way less than that three years ago, 1187 01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,840 Speaker 1: so people are beginning to understand that he is the 1188 01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:17,360 Speaker 1: right guy. People are starting to get at the UK. 1189 01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:19,960 Speaker 1: According to Nigel Farage, to the polls back that up. 1190 01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:25,320 Speaker 1: You know, I don't really know, but at least Nigel's 1191 01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,519 Speaker 1: out there making the case for Trump. And Nigel's got 1192 01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,639 Speaker 1: that he's got that great British accent. But it's very 1193 01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,439 Speaker 1: like inspiring, like oh like, let's go take that let's 1194 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 1: go take that hill, good sir. You know, he's very 1195 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,160 Speaker 1: h he's got the kind of upbeat Britta thing going on. 1196 01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:43,519 Speaker 1: Well hello, then he got Sudi Khan, who no surprise, 1197 01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,080 Speaker 1: is crashing the president United State. This is the mayor 1198 01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 1: of London. How many of you even really care as 1199 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:52,360 Speaker 1: the mayor of London. There's a reason I'm bringing this 1200 01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:53,840 Speaker 1: up that we'll have some problem in the play eighteen. 1201 01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 1: Some of the things that Trump is owner than lost 1202 01:08:56,040 --> 01:09:01,400 Speaker 1: two three years London is find upon and offensive, rolling 1203 01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:05,920 Speaker 1: back the reproductive rights of women, separating children from their 1204 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 1: parents on the Mexican border, introducing a band on Muslim 1205 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:15,160 Speaker 1: majority countries, standing up and defending white supremacists, Neo Nazis 1206 01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:20,080 Speaker 1: and artic mights in Charlesville, amplifying messages from racists in 1207 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:25,559 Speaker 1: this country, walking away from the Paris climate a court 1208 01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,160 Speaker 1: and I could go on, and by frustration with our 1209 01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 1: Prime Minister is she's I wouldn't say boo to a goose. 1210 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,479 Speaker 1: That's so he's just trashing the president and then the 1211 01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 1: media trying to get all upset. When Trump responded, let 1212 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:39,799 Speaker 1: me just give you Trump's response to the Mayor of London, 1213 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,080 Speaker 1: Connor reminds me very much of our very dumb and 1214 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,120 Speaker 1: incompetent mayor of New York City, build A. Blasio, who 1215 01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:50,040 Speaker 1: has also done a terrible job. Only Zadig's half his height. 1216 01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:52,439 Speaker 1: In any event, I look forward to being a great 1217 01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,160 Speaker 1: friend of the United Kingdom, and I'm very much looking 1218 01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:59,200 Speaker 1: forward to my visit Landing now. You know, I look 1219 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:01,760 Speaker 1: stand where the presidents supposed to just take it from 1220 01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,200 Speaker 1: the mayor of London. I don't think so. I think 1221 01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 1: Trump is right swat back at this guy, you know, 1222 01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:08,320 Speaker 1: Sadik Khan, if you want to, you know, if you're 1223 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,439 Speaker 1: gonna come at the Trump, you better be ready for 1224 01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,920 Speaker 1: the CounterPunch, my friend, and Trump Trump throws them with 1225 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,680 Speaker 1: the best of them. It is just a disgrace what 1226 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:20,719 Speaker 1: happens onto people based on their sexual orientation, particularly around 1227 01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,559 Speaker 1: the globe, including countries where, by the way, a lot 1228 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:27,000 Speaker 1: of media companies film their movies. So those who are 1229 01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 1: talking about pulling other georgiinality happen to film their movies 1230 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:34,600 Speaker 1: and places that aren't particularly very kind to people of 1231 01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 1: different orientations. But that aside, the President just tweeted out 1232 01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:42,320 Speaker 1: and said a couple of tweets about Pride Month and 1233 01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,360 Speaker 1: about and specifically trying to call try trying to bring 1234 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,360 Speaker 1: other countries along with what we are doing in the 1235 01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:53,559 Speaker 1: United States from America and decriminalizing homosexuality. Notice how there's 1236 01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:56,960 Speaker 1: no credit that you see in immediate least given to 1237 01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:02,160 Speaker 1: the administration for efforts to promote the decriminalization of homosexuality 1238 01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:06,200 Speaker 1: around the world. Also note how Kelly and Conway there 1239 01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:09,320 Speaker 1: without getting too deep into the into the details, just 1240 01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:14,559 Speaker 1: pointed out how for so many Democrats and leftists who 1241 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:18,640 Speaker 1: are willing to hurt economically, hurt cost jobs in the 1242 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,160 Speaker 1: state of Georgia because the state legislature there did what 1243 01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,800 Speaker 1: it should be able to do, which is write laws 1244 01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,680 Speaker 1: about abortion. So interesting, isn't it that there are so 1245 01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:31,479 Speaker 1: many Democrat females in particular in Hollywood that you'll see 1246 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,240 Speaker 1: who say, oh, you know, women of women of Georgia, 1247 01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,200 Speaker 1: we are standing with you. Majority of women in Georgia 1248 01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 1: agree with the bill. So what does that mean women 1249 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:43,360 Speaker 1: of Georgia were standing with you. Well, I think if 1250 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:48,080 Speaker 1: you ask most of the Hollywood and media libs who 1251 01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 1: are disdainful toward Georgia because of this bill, and he said, 1252 01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:55,000 Speaker 1: what do you think the percentages of support from women 1253 01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 1: in Georgia for this bill? They have absolutely no idea 1254 01:11:57,479 --> 01:11:58,960 Speaker 1: and they wouldn't even care if they found out the 1255 01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:02,160 Speaker 1: number was a clear majority. They think that this is 1256 01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:08,479 Speaker 1: this is the fundamental woman's rights issue and This is 1257 01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 1: then also echoed by Kamala Harris, who is at a 1258 01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 1: planned Parenthood event in San Francisco, San Francisco, where they 1259 01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,680 Speaker 1: boo you for saying you don't think socialism is the 1260 01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:27,120 Speaker 1: answer to this country's problems. Here's what Kamala Harris has 1261 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:30,720 Speaker 1: to say about planned parent or at a planned parenthood event, 1262 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,120 Speaker 1: which remember, you cannot be a democrat of any power 1263 01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,920 Speaker 1: or a good standing unless you are absolutely supportive of 1264 01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:39,680 Speaker 1: planned parenthood. Play too. This is a party about our conviction, 1265 01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:43,600 Speaker 1: our conviction to make sure that every woman has the 1266 01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:48,160 Speaker 1: right to do whatever she chooses to do with her 1267 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:53,040 Speaker 1: life and her body. Every woman has the right to 1268 01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,640 Speaker 1: do whatever she chooses to do with her life and 1269 01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,920 Speaker 1: her body. That's interesting because there are a lot of 1270 01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:02,360 Speaker 1: things that the state says that a woman cannot choose 1271 01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,599 Speaker 1: to do with her life and her body. All right, 1272 01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:08,000 Speaker 1: we know this. It is in fact, and it should be. 1273 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,519 Speaker 1: It is in fact illegal to try to take your 1274 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,240 Speaker 1: own life. For example, you know, if someone standing on 1275 01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:15,479 Speaker 1: a bridge and the police arrive, you don't get to say, oh, well, 1276 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:18,880 Speaker 1: I'm making this decision. It's okay, you guys can go home. No, 1277 01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:20,559 Speaker 1: they're going to try to stop you from taking your 1278 01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:24,760 Speaker 1: own life. You know you could not. You could not 1279 01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,519 Speaker 1: say as a you know, as a thirteen year old, well, 1280 01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:30,240 Speaker 1: it's you know, my body, my choice. I want to 1281 01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,240 Speaker 1: get married to an eighty year old man. You know 1282 01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,240 Speaker 1: that that would not the state will not allow you 1283 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,280 Speaker 1: to do that. That would be illegal. There there are 1284 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,599 Speaker 1: plenty of things that already or not. So this is 1285 01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:43,479 Speaker 1: this is this reductionist strong man. You know, it's it's 1286 01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,719 Speaker 1: always when you talk about the the pro life versus 1287 01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:51,280 Speaker 1: versus pro abortion issue, it's never straightforward. There's never a 1288 01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,719 Speaker 1: willingness to engage on the actual Is this a baby? 1289 01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:55,559 Speaker 1: Is this a human being? If it's a human being 1290 01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:57,840 Speaker 1: doesn't have rights, that that's the whole discussion. Everything else 1291 01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:04,080 Speaker 1: is is some secondary propagandistic nonsense. It does not really 1292 01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,920 Speaker 1: mean any It has no meaning except for the fact 1293 01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,600 Speaker 1: that it is drummed into people's heads as being what 1294 01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:13,760 Speaker 1: is so very very important, particularly for women and those 1295 01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:15,280 Speaker 1: of you who have heard me talking to the National 1296 01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,720 Speaker 1: Organization for Women president and ask her some very straightforward 1297 01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: questions about why do men get to have opinions on 1298 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:24,599 Speaker 1: some things and not on others. According to her, she 1299 01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,000 Speaker 1: was flustered because she's just not used to answering a 1300 01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,920 Speaker 1: real question for a person who's thought about the issue. 1301 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,360 Speaker 1: But Kamala Harris is not going to come up with 1302 01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 1: anything worthwhile interesting to say on this, on this because 1303 01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,760 Speaker 1: she has to be doing exactly what Planned Parenthood wants 1304 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:41,439 Speaker 1: her to do, just the way it's going to be. 1305 01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:45,040 Speaker 1: And Kelly and Conway pointing out that Democrats have far 1306 01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:50,799 Speaker 1: less of an issue with the practices of foreign countries, 1307 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:54,439 Speaker 1: I mean foreign governments, especially, let's be honest, Islamic countries 1308 01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,639 Speaker 1: get a pass from the left on how they deal 1309 01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:01,920 Speaker 1: with homosexuality. In particular, Islamic countries are just not because 1310 01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:07,680 Speaker 1: they're they're non white, non Christian majority countries, although there 1311 01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:10,280 Speaker 1: are both white people and Christians in many Muslim countries, 1312 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,719 Speaker 1: but as they are majority and they're considered non white, 1313 01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:17,400 Speaker 1: non Christian, non Western leftists don't want to have too 1314 01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,880 Speaker 1: much nasty stuff to say about what they do, the 1315 01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,799 Speaker 1: terrible things that they will do to same sex couples, 1316 01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:27,479 Speaker 1: to same sex individuals, same sex attracted individuals. So there's 1317 01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,880 Speaker 1: just a huge double standard because the so called liberalism 1318 01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:36,000 Speaker 1: of the left in this country is full of contradictions 1319 01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:38,120 Speaker 1: the moment we take it outside US borders, all of 1320 01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:43,519 Speaker 1: a sudden they fall into this anti colonial and anti 1321 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:47,680 Speaker 1: Western dialectic. I mean, they turn into this, well, you know, 1322 01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:49,599 Speaker 1: we don't want to be pushy about what we think. 1323 01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:53,000 Speaker 1: They'll push be pushy about everything here in America, fundamental rights, 1324 01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:54,680 Speaker 1: they'll call them. But then abroad when it comes to 1325 01:15:54,800 --> 01:16:00,160 Speaker 1: homosexuality and the decriminalization of it, they get very all 1326 01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they get very confused, very quiet. They 1327 01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:04,200 Speaker 1: don't have much to say about it at all. By 1328 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,320 Speaker 1: the way, I mean, this is all really just unfortunately 1329 01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:09,720 Speaker 1: a function of how crazy the left has become in 1330 01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:14,519 Speaker 1: the era of Trump. Because of Trump's arrangement syndrome, you 1331 01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,080 Speaker 1: can't expect to have a civil conversation with people anymore. 1332 01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,920 Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why I'm I'm just I can't. 1333 01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,800 Speaker 1: I can't just sit around playing footsie with leftists. I mean, 1334 01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:28,360 Speaker 1: I'm a wartime conservative. Now. Ideologically speaking, here's what lunatic 1335 01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:31,000 Speaker 1: leftists do in places like DC. This happened in DC 1336 01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:32,720 Speaker 1: because the guy I was wearing a Maga hat play 1337 01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:36,720 Speaker 1: clip four. That creates cruelty. So let me tell you 1338 01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,920 Speaker 1: a little mister, white male primis mother. When was America 1339 01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,600 Speaker 1: great for you? You? Huh? When was America great for you? 1340 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,080 Speaker 1: When they stuck a little in all of the sick 1341 01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,960 Speaker 1: people who wearing in the slave ships? When was America 1342 01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:53,559 Speaker 1: great for you? That's the price you pay for wearing 1343 01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:56,640 Speaker 1: a you know, getting yelled at like that. That is 1344 01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:58,599 Speaker 1: the price you pay for wearing a make America Great 1345 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:03,240 Speaker 1: Again hat in DC. That's the price, That's what That's 1346 01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:05,120 Speaker 1: what you subject yourself to. People have asked me, would 1347 01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,680 Speaker 1: I be willing to walk around DC? Someone actually just 1348 01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:09,639 Speaker 1: said it to me over the weekend. Would I walk 1349 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,200 Speaker 1: around here? I am in what is now the town 1350 01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,760 Speaker 1: that I call home, although New York is still really 1351 01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,000 Speaker 1: my home. Would I feel comfortable with the answers? No? 1352 01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,599 Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't feel comfortable because somebody would say 1353 01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:22,559 Speaker 1: something and I would say something back, and we would 1354 01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,600 Speaker 1: have an incident, and you never know, I know a 1355 01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 1: lot of people would say, oh fuck, you know, you 1356 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:28,680 Speaker 1: gotta just you know, tell those libs and you know 1357 01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:31,040 Speaker 1: if they lay a hand on you. And yeah, those 1358 01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:32,960 Speaker 1: of you who have been in scraps and issues in 1359 01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:35,479 Speaker 1: the street, you know, you know, you just want to 1360 01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:37,479 Speaker 1: avoid that stuff. You don't know what's gonna happen. Who's 1361 01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:39,920 Speaker 1: gonna pull what, who's gonna say you said what or 1362 01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,240 Speaker 1: did what? Or you know? But you can't even wear 1363 01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:46,280 Speaker 1: a hat that the President United States wears in Washington, 1364 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,880 Speaker 1: DC and feel safe. That's the America we live in now. 1365 01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:57,320 Speaker 1: We have a problem with racism in America today. If 1366 01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:05,720 Speaker 1: this country wasn't racist, Stacey Abrams would be governor. Ah 1367 01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:09,479 Speaker 1: go to the racism well when in doubt, Candidate Seth 1368 01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:14,160 Speaker 1: Molton would be Democrat nominee for the presidency. He knows 1369 01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:16,560 Speaker 1: that that the move the maneuver. If you want to 1370 01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:19,080 Speaker 1: get everyone clapping for you, just talk about how racist 1371 01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:23,639 Speaker 1: America is racist compared to what I would always want 1372 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:27,559 Speaker 1: to know. Find me a country that has our level 1373 01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:34,599 Speaker 1: of ethnic and ideological and nationality based diversity, and tell 1374 01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,240 Speaker 1: me and show me that they get along better, are 1375 01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,719 Speaker 1: more decent to each other than we are in this country. 1376 01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,200 Speaker 1: It does not exist. This is the This is the 1377 01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:45,800 Speaker 1: little secret that leftist never talk about here, but we 1378 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:53,120 Speaker 1: are actually an incredibly agreeable with each other nation state, 1379 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:56,519 Speaker 1: especially given the degree of diversity and everything else that 1380 01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,720 Speaker 1: we have. You know, yeah, there's not a lot of 1381 01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:03,280 Speaker 1: day to day struggles with racism in Japan because it's 1382 01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,840 Speaker 1: basically all Japanese people. It's a little different, you know, 1383 01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,680 Speaker 1: they don't they don't have different races that have the 1384 01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:11,320 Speaker 1: possibility of day to day racism. But if you ask 1385 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:13,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people in some of these countries or 1386 01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:16,519 Speaker 1: have spent time in these countries, well, what are the 1387 01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:19,320 Speaker 1: attitudes of the people like they are truly xenophobic in 1388 01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:22,439 Speaker 1: those other countries? They do not like outsiders, they do 1389 01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:24,439 Speaker 1: not want outsiders, They do not have immigration, they do 1390 01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:28,920 Speaker 1: not allow immigration. So I just think just start from 1391 01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:31,600 Speaker 1: this premise that we're always being told how racioust America is. 1392 01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the the talking point for liberals 1393 01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:37,080 Speaker 1: when they have either nothing to say or you know, 1394 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,719 Speaker 1: just want to make sure that they get a cheap 1395 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:42,920 Speaker 1: round of applause. It is the ultimate cheap applause line 1396 01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:46,360 Speaker 1: that America is a racist country. And Seth Molton is 1397 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:48,400 Speaker 1: a guy who look, I mean, he's running for president 1398 01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:52,040 Speaker 1: for his own reasons. I couldn't begin to understand what 1399 01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,880 Speaker 1: they are because he's not gonna win. He's not even 1400 01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:58,280 Speaker 1: gonna get above one percent. So why but I suppose 1401 01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:00,400 Speaker 1: here I am talking about him on national video. So 1402 01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:04,200 Speaker 1: maybe there's that, But he says that the country wasn't racist, 1403 01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,880 Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams would be governor. There was record turnout for 1404 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:13,640 Speaker 1: the governor's race in Georgia. Why is racism? And the 1405 01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:18,000 Speaker 1: reasons Stacy Abrams didn't win? What great background of achievement 1406 01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 1: in politics or in leadership? It's Stacy Abrams? Hap, No, no 1407 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:25,240 Speaker 1: no one even really seems to ever start there. Why 1408 01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,960 Speaker 1: would Stacy Abrams be governor if the country wasn't racist. 1409 01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,600 Speaker 1: It's the country's fault that she didn't win the governorship. 1410 01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:34,160 Speaker 1: And this is a stupid statement. I mean, this is 1411 01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:37,439 Speaker 1: a dumb thing to say. But Malton, I'm sure as 1412 01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:39,080 Speaker 1: a bright guy, I mean, I'm you know, I think 1413 01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,000 Speaker 1: he has fancy schools and everything. But as you know, 1414 01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:43,679 Speaker 1: I always tell you the fancy schools and it doesn't 1415 01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,639 Speaker 1: mean what it used to. That's all changed a lot. 1416 01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:50,800 Speaker 1: But it also brings me to ask the question, you know, 1417 01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:55,080 Speaker 1: is it is it even possible in the mind of 1418 01:20:55,080 --> 01:21:01,040 Speaker 1: a leftist in America today to be racist a white people? 1419 01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:04,400 Speaker 1: Is is that possible? I wonder? I asked the question 1420 01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:08,240 Speaker 1: just because over the weekend there was a tweet from 1421 01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:12,719 Speaker 1: a verified account named Sarah raw So she's a blue check. 1422 01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:19,960 Speaker 1: She's one of the journalism Cadre online, and she shared 1423 01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,160 Speaker 1: this tweet, this gem of analysis. White people have done 1424 01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,080 Speaker 1: everything to make my life miserable, Yet I'm supposed to 1425 01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:29,720 Speaker 1: not hate white people. She's a writer and columnist for 1426 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:35,960 Speaker 1: Brown Girl magazine and she's verified. Is that okay to say? 1427 01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:38,040 Speaker 1: You know, when I say, is that okay? I'm not 1428 01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,280 Speaker 1: I'm not calling for censorship of it. I'm not saying 1429 01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:44,360 Speaker 1: that it's hate speech. But isn't that racist? Isn't it 1430 01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:47,040 Speaker 1: for somebody who's saying that white people make her make 1431 01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:49,320 Speaker 1: her life miserable, and why shouldn't she hate white people? 1432 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,120 Speaker 1: That's kind of racist, right? I don't know. If you 1433 01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:54,960 Speaker 1: talk to leftists, they'll tell you that it's not possible 1434 01:21:55,080 --> 01:22:00,439 Speaker 1: because of the power dynamics at work in intersectionality. It is, 1435 01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:06,200 Speaker 1: in fact, not possible for a non white person to 1436 01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,400 Speaker 1: be racist in America against white people. Maybe it's possible 1437 01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:12,360 Speaker 1: in some other country, although I think that's probably doubtful. 1438 01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:16,160 Speaker 1: Democrats would find that doubtful too. But if you want 1439 01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:19,400 Speaker 1: to test out the theory, here's an example. I mean, 1440 01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:22,439 Speaker 1: this is the question, is it possible in this country 1441 01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:25,479 Speaker 1: to be racist against white people, and that's can you 1442 01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:27,880 Speaker 1: be hateful toward white people in a way that would 1443 01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,960 Speaker 1: be described as racism? I obviously think the answer is yes. 1444 01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:34,000 Speaker 1: I think this is one of those topics of discussion 1445 01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:37,639 Speaker 1: that we're it's so radioactive. You know, you're not allowed 1446 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,400 Speaker 1: to you're not allowed to go there and not allowed 1447 01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:42,559 Speaker 1: to have this. Why why can't we talk about this? Why? 1448 01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:44,840 Speaker 1: Why isn't it worth our time to delve into whether 1449 01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,639 Speaker 1: or not America is a country where it is possible 1450 01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:50,760 Speaker 1: to be racist against and then if it's possible, is 1451 01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:55,639 Speaker 1: there as arising tide of racism against white people from 1452 01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,600 Speaker 1: some non white individuals in America? Is that a conversation 1453 01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:02,639 Speaker 1: that's even possible to you have? You might say, oh no, Buck, 1454 01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:05,200 Speaker 1: we can't have a conversation. Okay, fine, Well I would 1455 01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:06,639 Speaker 1: want to know that how do we deal with this? 1456 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:13,479 Speaker 1: There was a concert up in Nova Scotia, and this 1457 01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:19,360 Speaker 1: is from the Daily Wire. Ledo Pimienta, a Colombian Canadian singer, 1458 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:23,160 Speaker 1: asked audience members of color, Now this is in Canada, 1459 01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:24,960 Speaker 1: so don't people you don't have the yellow me o everybody? 1460 01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,519 Speaker 1: I mean Canada, America were pretty much the same deal, 1461 01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:30,599 Speaker 1: asked audience members of color to move to the front 1462 01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:34,000 Speaker 1: and white members to move to the back. Unlike other 1463 01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,760 Speaker 1: times she made that request, some white members of the 1464 01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:42,000 Speaker 1: audience refused to act in accordance with her command, including 1465 01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:45,479 Speaker 1: a white female volunteer who was reportedly there to photograph 1466 01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:51,080 Speaker 1: the show. Now, this is really interesting, According to the 1467 01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:55,880 Speaker 1: National Post, ali Omanic quay, I don't know how to 1468 01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,280 Speaker 1: say that. Who shares management with Pimienta said, a female 1469 01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,120 Speaker 1: photographer would not budge from her position near the stage, 1470 01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:07,040 Speaker 1: prompting anger from some crowd members. Omenk Kay, whose version 1471 01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:11,400 Speaker 1: of events was confirmed by festival spokesperson Trevor Murphy, said 1472 01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:15,720 Speaker 1: that Pimienta, the performer here, just kept saying, moved to 1473 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,080 Speaker 1: the back. Finally, after saying it about ten times, white 1474 01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,760 Speaker 1: people moved to the back and the woman refused to move, 1475 01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:24,639 Speaker 1: Pimienta said, you're cutting into my set time and you're 1476 01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:27,200 Speaker 1: disrespecting these women, and I don't have time for this. 1477 01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:32,719 Speaker 1: So you now can be at a concert in Canada, 1478 01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:36,080 Speaker 1: but this could apply to America too, and the person 1479 01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:38,800 Speaker 1: who is there to entertain you could say, white people, 1480 01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:42,200 Speaker 1: you have to go and have let's be honest, back 1481 01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:45,640 Speaker 1: of the concert, you're gonna have a worse view. So 1482 01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,800 Speaker 1: give up your place, moved to the back of the 1483 01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:51,439 Speaker 1: venue and let people of color take your place in 1484 01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:55,040 Speaker 1: the front. And if you, as a paying customer at 1485 01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,599 Speaker 1: the concert, have an issue with that, you're the problem. 1486 01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,360 Speaker 1: This is the and you're supposed to take away from this. 1487 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 1: You are the problem. White people go to the back. 1488 01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:07,320 Speaker 1: I'm white. I don't think that I should be judged 1489 01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:09,720 Speaker 1: by my skin color. I'm here, I got here early. 1490 01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,880 Speaker 1: I I like my position in the crowd. No, no, 1491 01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:15,080 Speaker 1: you have to give up your position in the credit 1492 01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:16,320 Speaker 1: if you give it up to a person of color. 1493 01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,040 Speaker 1: If you don't, you're racist and you're part of the problem. 1494 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:23,640 Speaker 1: That seems quite extreme, doesn't it. I wonder what the 1495 01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:28,880 Speaker 1: the concert organizers thought of this. Oh, we know what 1496 01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:33,240 Speaker 1: they think of this. Again, thanks to some very good 1497 01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:35,800 Speaker 1: work from the Daily Wire quote the board of directors 1498 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:39,840 Speaker 1: for Halifax Pop Explosion that sounds like quite a party, 1499 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,360 Speaker 1: issued this statement, we will not accept this behavior, and 1500 01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:47,920 Speaker 1: neither should you be responsible for your friends. Talk to that. Wait, 1501 01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,360 Speaker 1: hold on, you might be thinking, buck. They said they 1502 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:52,640 Speaker 1: will not accept this behavior. Whose behavior do you think 1503 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:58,679 Speaker 1: they have a problem with the music. Act. That's telling people, 1504 01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:00,400 Speaker 1: if you're white, go to the back of the room 1505 01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,400 Speaker 1: where you can't see. Oh no, that's not the person 1506 01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:06,800 Speaker 1: who had a problem with quote. Be responsible for your friends, 1507 01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:08,599 Speaker 1: talk to them and support them as they move toward 1508 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:12,720 Speaker 1: unpacking their racism. People of color deserve safe spaces, and 1509 01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:15,479 Speaker 1: it is your responsibility to help. It is also ours 1510 01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:19,760 Speaker 1: to the performer. Leto Pimienta, we are sorry that one 1511 01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,360 Speaker 1: of our volunteers interrupted your art, your show, and your 1512 01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:25,880 Speaker 1: audience by being aggressive and racist. We have so much 1513 01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:27,840 Speaker 1: respect for the art and music you create and the 1514 01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,160 Speaker 1: space you make for women, people of color, transgender and 1515 01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:33,040 Speaker 1: non binary people. The way you interact with the world 1516 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:35,880 Speaker 1: provide such a thoughtful example. You're a role model to us. 1517 01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:37,400 Speaker 1: We see it, we feel it. We hope you work 1518 01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:40,320 Speaker 1: with us again. That's right, folks, the woman who says 1519 01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,320 Speaker 1: white people go to the back of the venue so 1520 01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:45,200 Speaker 1: other people can see better because white people are racist 1521 01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 1: than a problem, this is what they want. They want 1522 01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,200 Speaker 1: to work with her again in the future. She's a 1523 01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:56,400 Speaker 1: model for a role model for others. Now, did one 1524 01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:58,559 Speaker 1: of the white people who in the crowd say something 1525 01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:01,560 Speaker 1: really nasty. There's some report that someone said something that 1526 01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:03,680 Speaker 1: was bad or a gross or racist. I don't know 1527 01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:07,080 Speaker 1: that's not I have not seen the specifics on it. 1528 01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:10,960 Speaker 1: I have not seen a quote about it. And it's 1529 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 1: tough to tell. I mean, is it nasty and racist 1530 01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,360 Speaker 1: for a white person to say I pay the same 1531 01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:18,160 Speaker 1: ticket price as everybody else? This is a standing show, 1532 01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:20,439 Speaker 1: and I'm standing where I'm standing, and I'm not going 1533 01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,280 Speaker 1: to just go to the back because I'm told to 1534 01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:25,759 Speaker 1: go to the back back of the room at the concert. 1535 01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:27,559 Speaker 1: It's what you're told now if you're white, and if 1536 01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:31,040 Speaker 1: you don't do it, you're a problem. I think you 1537 01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:34,800 Speaker 1: might recognize this mentality is not limited just to this 1538 01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:39,400 Speaker 1: one concert. Confront your privilege. You're told now, confront your privilege, 1539 01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:44,760 Speaker 1: which means, oftentimes be lectured by very stupid people on 1540 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:47,360 Speaker 1: the left about how you need to do what they say, 1541 01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:51,560 Speaker 1: you need to agree with different social policies, different political positions, 1542 01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:55,600 Speaker 1: or else you're a racist. This is a position of 1543 01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:59,360 Speaker 1: white and non white leftists. And if you fight back 1544 01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:03,120 Speaker 1: against this or you reject this, you are automatically a problem. 1545 01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:05,759 Speaker 1: This is the country that we are living in now, Folks, 1546 01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:07,680 Speaker 1: This is what we are dealing with. And that's why 1547 01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 1: someone like Seth Moulton can get up and just say 1548 01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:13,280 Speaker 1: America is a racist country. Because of the country wasn't racist, 1549 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:15,880 Speaker 1: Stacey Abrams would be governor, and there's wild cheering for 1550 01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:19,880 Speaker 1: him saying something that is just baseless and stupid and 1551 01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:26,360 Speaker 1: pandering Americans working into their seventies. This is becoming really common. 1552 01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:29,320 Speaker 1: I was just talking to somebody about this over the weekend, 1553 01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 1: and now I see there's some new data in a 1554 01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:34,560 Speaker 1: news story. Here. Let me just give you some of 1555 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:36,519 Speaker 1: the facts and figures about this that we can talk 1556 01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:39,640 Speaker 1: about how this is. My expectation is this is going 1557 01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:43,040 Speaker 1: to become the norm, and that retirement is going to 1558 01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:47,040 Speaker 1: be something that people will think of in some ways 1559 01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:48,880 Speaker 1: the way we now think about like working a seven 1560 01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:51,240 Speaker 1: day workweek or so. It's just not gonna not going 1561 01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:55,400 Speaker 1: to be the norm. But here's this piece on courts. 1562 01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:59,240 Speaker 1: Catherine Abraham, and economic professor at the University of Maryland 1563 01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:02,160 Speaker 1: with was chatting with her hairdresser one night about her 1564 01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:04,800 Speaker 1: retirement plans. The economists said she plans to continue working 1565 01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 1: because she wants to and has no plans for retiring. 1566 01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:11,240 Speaker 1: The hairdresser agreed, but for different reasons she needs the money. 1567 01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:14,880 Speaker 1: Both scenarios are contributing to a big increase of the 1568 01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:18,920 Speaker 1: number of people in US working into their seventies. Over 1569 01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,400 Speaker 1: the past twenty years, the share of Americans working in 1570 01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:23,519 Speaker 1: their seventies has risen from less than ten percent to 1571 01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:27,560 Speaker 1: nearly fifteen percent, according to Census data. Now, this is 1572 01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:29,800 Speaker 1: there are some good reasons for this, or at least 1573 01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:33,000 Speaker 1: some reasons that are are only really positive as people 1574 01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:39,200 Speaker 1: are living longer and healthier lives. So folks who are 1575 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:45,920 Speaker 1: in their seventies now are very sharp mind, feeling healthy 1576 01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:47,960 Speaker 1: and fit, and plenty of energy, and they got all 1577 01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:51,519 Speaker 1: they got a lot of stuff to do, whereas even 1578 01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:53,840 Speaker 1: thirty forty years ago, people in their seventies tended to 1579 01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:56,640 Speaker 1: just have more wear and tear on their bodies, not 1580 01:29:56,880 --> 01:30:01,400 Speaker 1: quite the same energy level. You know, the met has improved, 1581 01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:02,720 Speaker 1: not as much as I would like it to have 1582 01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:06,360 Speaker 1: improved in that period, but medicine has improved somewhat. And 1583 01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:10,719 Speaker 1: now looking at the way forward, I mean, there's obviously 1584 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:14,120 Speaker 1: also a major economic incentive for people to work even later. 1585 01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:17,720 Speaker 1: But I mean my expectation is that unless you're in 1586 01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:19,799 Speaker 1: a unless you're in a job that has a defined 1587 01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:22,760 Speaker 1: benefit plan and you know you hit You're certain. This 1588 01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:24,719 Speaker 1: is true for a lot of public sector workers, although 1589 01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:26,240 Speaker 1: I think fewer now than it used to be the case. 1590 01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:29,439 Speaker 1: You know, you hit your end date and you're done. 1591 01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:31,920 Speaker 1: You know, you hit that golden retirement day, and it's 1592 01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:33,559 Speaker 1: all over for you in terms of having to show 1593 01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:35,360 Speaker 1: up to an office. A lot of people are going 1594 01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:37,400 Speaker 1: to work in their seventies. I don't know how much 1595 01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:39,760 Speaker 1: that's a bad thing. I think people who choose to 1596 01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:42,479 Speaker 1: work in their seventies it's probably a great thing. You 1597 01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:45,880 Speaker 1: stay active, you stay But by the way, I believe 1598 01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:49,360 Speaker 1: how old is Warren Buffett? For example? Now he's super rich, 1599 01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:52,680 Speaker 1: I know, but he's just an example of somebody who 1600 01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:54,640 Speaker 1: really likes what he's doing, and what would he do 1601 01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:58,360 Speaker 1: if he wasn't doing it? Eighty eight, folks, Warren Buffett 1602 01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:01,960 Speaker 1: is eighty eight years old, and he's worth tens of 1603 01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:04,400 Speaker 1: billions of dollars, still drives an old car. You know, 1604 01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:07,080 Speaker 1: I think he likes living this persona. I don't think 1605 01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:11,840 Speaker 1: it's he's not oblivious to the fact that everyone thinks 1606 01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:15,200 Speaker 1: of him like America's super rich grandfather but he's a 1607 01:31:15,240 --> 01:31:18,280 Speaker 1: guy who likes what he's doing it and this retirement 1608 01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:20,120 Speaker 1: for some people if you've been working in an a 1609 01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:22,400 Speaker 1: manual labor job or yeah, I get it. You know 1610 01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:24,280 Speaker 1: you need to rest your body and you want to 1611 01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:27,439 Speaker 1: go and play bocci ball and tennis and all this stuff. 1612 01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:31,479 Speaker 1: If you're somebody who shows up to an air conditioned 1613 01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:33,160 Speaker 1: office and you're looking at a screen and you like 1614 01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:35,120 Speaker 1: what you do, you like your colleagues, and you're making 1615 01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:37,519 Speaker 1: good money. And I think a lot of people you 1616 01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:40,080 Speaker 1: know that that number is fifteen percent of Americans working 1617 01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:41,960 Speaker 1: into their seventies. I think you're gonna see you go 1618 01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:44,240 Speaker 1: to twenty and then twenty five. I really do. I 1619 01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:46,200 Speaker 1: think you're gonna have almost My guests would be the 1620 01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:47,840 Speaker 1: next ten years, you're gonna have a quarter of people 1621 01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:50,439 Speaker 1: working into their seventies, and that will get closer to 1622 01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:53,479 Speaker 1: being you know, and I think from there it probably 1623 01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:55,400 Speaker 1: just keeps going up too. People are living longer and 1624 01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:58,360 Speaker 1: just changing. Just in an interesting little side note that 1625 01:31:58,439 --> 01:31:59,920 Speaker 1: came up in a conversation with a friend this week, 1626 01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,200 Speaker 1: and he was like, hey, man, like, you know, when 1627 01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:03,519 Speaker 1: when would you want to retire? I was like, I 1628 01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:06,320 Speaker 1: don't know. Do I get to keep doing radio. If 1629 01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:07,720 Speaker 1: I get to keep doing radio, I don't think I 1630 01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:12,240 Speaker 1: retire at all, retire when I don't have a voice, 1631 01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:15,479 Speaker 1: which hopefully that's not going to happen. Speaking of voices, 1632 01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:18,160 Speaker 1: I will use mine to tell you about Roll Call 1633 01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:23,320 Speaker 1: coming up here in just a moment. The show ain't 1634 01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:45,040 Speaker 1: over yet, folks, keeping it real, It's time for roll call, man. 1635 01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,960 Speaker 1: It really does feel like summer finally. Isn't that nice? 1636 01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:52,280 Speaker 1: Isn't that a good thing? It's about time. Let's see 1637 01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:56,519 Speaker 1: here we have Facebook dot com slashbuck Sexton. If people 1638 01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:59,880 Speaker 1: want to get in on the roll call party, Matt 1639 01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:01,880 Speaker 1: you up first here, Hey Bucky. If you need an 1640 01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:04,720 Speaker 1: idea for a good show, check out the expanse on 1641 01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:08,920 Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. They've got three seasons and the fourth one 1642 01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:10,519 Speaker 1: is on the way. If you're looking for something like 1643 01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:13,720 Speaker 1: Game of Thrones only hard sci fi, this is the 1644 01:33:13,800 --> 01:33:16,400 Speaker 1: show for you. It's not like Star Trek where they 1645 01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:19,840 Speaker 1: have gravity panels and force fields and photon torpedos. It's 1646 01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:23,280 Speaker 1: way more grounded in a way that we might actually 1647 01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:25,880 Speaker 1: achieve someday. You check it out. I can't recommend it 1648 01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:29,559 Speaker 1: strongly enough. PS If you're not hooked by the second episode, 1649 01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:33,560 Speaker 1: the show is not for you. Well, I appreciate the 1650 01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:38,760 Speaker 1: very thorough and helpful endorsement, my friend. Thank you so 1651 01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:41,920 Speaker 1: much for writing in with it and good to chat 1652 01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:43,639 Speaker 1: with you about it. Thank you so much. I will 1653 01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:46,800 Speaker 1: check out the expense. I like I like escapist fair 1654 01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:52,080 Speaker 1: on the various channels that I watched now and I 1655 01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:54,760 Speaker 1: am increasingly now a digital on demand person. With my viewing, 1656 01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:58,519 Speaker 1: I'm i'm I'm, I think I'm gonna. I think I'm gonna. Well, 1657 01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:00,920 Speaker 1: the only reason I don't is the news. But there 1658 01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:02,960 Speaker 1: must be ways that I can watch news without being 1659 01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:05,080 Speaker 1: a cable subscriber. I think I'm gonna bail on cable. 1660 01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:08,799 Speaker 1: If I could just get the major news channels Fox 1661 01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:12,760 Speaker 1: for information, CNN for comedy, I would be a cord 1662 01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 1: cutter because I don't watch the other cable channels. I 1663 01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:18,120 Speaker 1: watched digital shows a la carte, So I'm one of 1664 01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:23,160 Speaker 1: these great Beard millennial types. Clay right, hey, Buck, great show. 1665 01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:26,240 Speaker 1: One night. Not too long ago, you mentioned something about 1666 01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:30,400 Speaker 1: Drudge Report smartphone app not working. Well, there's an alternative 1667 01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:33,920 Speaker 1: called The Report. It has Drudge and other conservative newspeeds. 1668 01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:36,800 Speaker 1: Thanks and shields high. Well, Clay, I was unaware of that, 1669 01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:39,320 Speaker 1: so I will check it out. Apparently there weren't that 1670 01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:43,719 Speaker 1: many of us who were really interested in the Drudge app, 1671 01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:45,479 Speaker 1: or at least I guess it wasn't popular enough that 1672 01:34:45,479 --> 01:34:47,640 Speaker 1: they would keep it. I love the Drudge app. I 1673 01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:49,679 Speaker 1: used it on my phone all the time. I don't 1674 01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:51,040 Speaker 1: know why it had to go away. Now they want 1675 01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:52,760 Speaker 1: people to go to the site site and not use 1676 01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:56,960 Speaker 1: the app. Well, it is what it is, Bob, Buck. 1677 01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,200 Speaker 1: I've tried to call you via iHeart. I'm trying to 1678 01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:02,479 Speaker 1: call you about a new technology we're developing, et cetera, 1679 01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:06,680 Speaker 1: et cetera. Personal information, Personal information. All right, Bob, let 1680 01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:11,760 Speaker 1: me let me take a look and don't check it out, Jean, right, 1681 01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:14,120 Speaker 1: howdy Buck. I rather the President made a comment on 1682 01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:17,200 Speaker 1: suppressors that was not positive. He said I don't like 1683 01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:19,560 Speaker 1: them when asked about the reason shooting. One of the 1684 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:22,200 Speaker 1: reasons I voted for him in twenty sixteen was to 1685 01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:27,800 Speaker 1: protect and expand the Second Amendment. I understand expansion is 1686 01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:30,200 Speaker 1: hard because of Congress, but if he were to banned suppressors, 1687 01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:32,640 Speaker 1: which are highly regular through the NFA, I will not 1688 01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:35,240 Speaker 1: vote for him. In twenty twenty, was wondering what your 1689 01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:39,559 Speaker 1: thoughts are, well, John, as somebody who has both fired 1690 01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:43,600 Speaker 1: a lot of suppressed weapons and has even advertised for 1691 01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:47,559 Speaker 1: suppressors in the past in my radio on my radio program, 1692 01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:51,599 Speaker 1: I'm obviously I'm obviously in favor of suppressors. I think 1693 01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:54,000 Speaker 1: the hearing damage from shooting, and this would make me 1694 01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:56,400 Speaker 1: sound maybe a little whimpy, but I'm somebody who wants 1695 01:35:56,439 --> 01:35:57,960 Speaker 1: to hear as well as I can see as well 1696 01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:00,400 Speaker 1: as I can have my teeth for his long as 1697 01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:04,719 Speaker 1: I can. And the hearing damage from from firing guns 1698 01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:07,160 Speaker 1: is very real unless you have good ear pro which 1699 01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:08,479 Speaker 1: I know of those of you who are shooting, I'm 1700 01:36:08,479 --> 01:36:11,280 Speaker 1: sure you use that, but it would be nice to 1701 01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:15,280 Speaker 1: even dampen it down more. And anybody who's ever fired 1702 01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:17,439 Speaker 1: a rifle with a suppressor on it knows that this 1703 01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:21,720 Speaker 1: is not it's not p pup, not at all. And 1704 01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:25,320 Speaker 1: even a twenty two calibers with a silencer on it, 1705 01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:29,759 Speaker 1: that can sound pretty pretty darn quiet. But anything above 1706 01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:33,439 Speaker 1: that caliber you're gonna hear it, and they're already heavily regulated. 1707 01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:35,160 Speaker 1: So look, I just think the president doesn't really know 1708 01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:37,040 Speaker 1: anything about I'm just gonna say it. I just don't 1709 01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:39,680 Speaker 1: think he knows anything about suppressors and probably has a 1710 01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:44,000 Speaker 1: action movie view of them, as you can run around 1711 01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:47,200 Speaker 1: with a silencer on an MP five, for example, and 1712 01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:50,000 Speaker 1: it just goes pupe pup. It does not go pupu. 1713 01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:52,160 Speaker 1: So as you can tell it like making that noise, 1714 01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:57,040 Speaker 1: it's much louder than that. Josh, Right, how about love 1715 01:36:57,120 --> 01:37:00,519 Speaker 1: the show. I've been listening since the early Blazed days. 1716 01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:04,479 Speaker 1: On Friday, you hinted at a founding father that family 1717 01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:07,679 Speaker 1: lore says you're related to. You said the forgotten Founder. 1718 01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:09,880 Speaker 1: So my guess is John Jay. He was a huge 1719 01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:12,760 Speaker 1: contributor to early America. You never hear his name. Am 1720 01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:17,840 Speaker 1: I close? Shields high? Josh, Josh, it's a good guess, 1721 01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:19,760 Speaker 1: but I can't say it's close, because that's not, in 1722 01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:23,760 Speaker 1: fact the one that I am, according to family were 1723 01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:26,040 Speaker 1: related to. According to family lare I am related to 1724 01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:30,720 Speaker 1: George Mason pretty directly. I mean the family tree is 1725 01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:32,880 Speaker 1: like a well it's not a telephone pole. That would 1726 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:35,280 Speaker 1: be weird, but it's a pretty straight line according to again, 1727 01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:37,680 Speaker 1: according to family law, I don't know. I don't I 1728 01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:39,320 Speaker 1: don't spend as much time on these things, as some 1729 01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:41,719 Speaker 1: other folks do. But that is at least a story 1730 01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:44,840 Speaker 1: that we tell people drinking mint julips the cocktail parties 1731 01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:46,880 Speaker 1: in the South out on a lawn, because that's how 1732 01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:50,920 Speaker 1: we do. John right shields high Fan since the real 1733 01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:53,120 Speaker 1: news days, Man, so many of you the listen have 1734 01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:54,840 Speaker 1: been with me for many, many years now, and that 1735 01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:57,760 Speaker 1: is a huge testament, and I really really do appreciate it. 1736 01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:01,840 Speaker 1: I heard that the sharn Noble guy, a Russian, said 1737 01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:05,320 Speaker 1: something about gun deaths in America. I find this amazing 1738 01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:07,840 Speaker 1: that someone from mother Russia, where a gun was made 1739 01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:09,880 Speaker 1: that has killed countless numbers of people, tries to make 1740 01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:13,559 Speaker 1: America and American guns the problem. I think a lot 1741 01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:15,439 Speaker 1: of times folks like this just like to throw this 1742 01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:17,519 Speaker 1: stuff out so they get invited to the elite parties 1743 01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:21,840 Speaker 1: where they serve bacon rap shrimp. Combie Bear leaves John. 1744 01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:25,120 Speaker 1: First of all, bacon rap shrimp are incredible, So we 1745 01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:28,960 Speaker 1: start with that fundamental truth. I cannot just let that 1746 01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:33,640 Speaker 1: go without noting. Now the real question, though, is if 1747 01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:36,519 Speaker 1: you could only have one, do you go bacon rap 1748 01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:42,920 Speaker 1: shrimp or scalop rap shrimp or I'm sorry, wait, bacon 1749 01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:46,800 Speaker 1: rap scalops, scalop rap shrimp. WHOA, that was weird. I 1750 01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:49,719 Speaker 1: don't know about that. That's the different dish. No bacon 1751 01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:53,320 Speaker 1: rap scallop or bacon rap shrimp. I probably go the scalop. 1752 01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:55,680 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. It's a little bougie of me. 1753 01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:59,000 Speaker 1: As to your point about Russia, I don't know who 1754 01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:00,960 Speaker 1: this Russian is that had this about the guns. But 1755 01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:03,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people all over the world try to 1756 01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:06,559 Speaker 1: dump on America because they make it makes them They 1757 01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:10,200 Speaker 1: think it makes them sound more sophisticated, more in touch 1758 01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:14,160 Speaker 1: with you know, blah blah whatever. So that's not unusual, 1759 01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:17,960 Speaker 1: but we tend to ignore them. Ben writes, your Bill 1760 01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 1: Barr impression is on point. Great work. Did I do 1761 01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:25,160 Speaker 1: a Bill Barr impression? I don't remember if I did, 1762 01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:26,920 Speaker 1: and it was on point. That's great, But I feel 1763 01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:29,280 Speaker 1: like I don't remember doing that, but I might have 1764 01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:30,680 Speaker 1: done it. I don't remember a lot of things that 1765 01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:32,840 Speaker 1: I say on this show, which is always sometimes the 1766 01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:34,880 Speaker 1: better things I say just come out of my mouth 1767 01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:37,599 Speaker 1: because that stream of consciousness, and somebody will point out 1768 01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:39,519 Speaker 1: to me that thing you said last week about the thing, 1769 01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:44,920 Speaker 1: and I'll say Yeah, that was amazing. Did I really 1770 01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:46,519 Speaker 1: say that? Did that really come out of my mouth? 1771 01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:52,080 Speaker 1: But that does tend to happen. Here we go, Sean says, 1772 01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:55,200 Speaker 1: I think it's rather appropriate and hilarious that your Joy 1773 01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:59,639 Speaker 1: beharror impression sounds like Harvey Fierstein. Well, look, it's Joy 1774 01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:04,080 Speaker 1: bay Aha on the View. You know here.

Personally, 1793 01:41:04,280 --> 01:41:05,800 Speaker 1: I don't care what you look like. Just keep doing 1794 01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:10,920 Speaker 1: a great job. Shields shields high and Mike, you know, man, 1795 01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:14,479 Speaker 1: it's I'm just I do need to get a haircut. 1796 01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:16,559 Speaker 1: I will, I will. She's right about that. The hair 1797 01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:18,200 Speaker 1: is out of control right now. I mean it is, 1798 01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:23,040 Speaker 1: the poof is, the swoop is major. And as to 1799 01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:25,519 Speaker 1: the beard, you know, it's getting hot, so the beard 1800 01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:27,760 Speaker 1: may go. The beard may go. I've kept it for 1801 01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:31,759 Speaker 1: a while. I don't know. And some of my Original 1802 01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:34,040 Speaker 1: Saturday Squad is like, stop talking about your stupid beard 1803 01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:36,160 Speaker 1: and tell us things that are worth hearing. All right, 1804 01:41:36,280 --> 01:41:40,200 Speaker 1: all right, your voices have been heard. Original team Buck 1805 01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:42,600 Speaker 1: gets very salty with me sometimes, but then I know 1806 01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:44,720 Speaker 1: that it's I know that it's all love, so I'm 1807 01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:46,960 Speaker 1: okay with it. But you know, they'll say, like, you 1808 01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:48,960 Speaker 1: look like you put on a few pounds time to 1809 01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:52,240 Speaker 1: get a hair cut. That last segment was boring. But 1810 01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:53,680 Speaker 1: I know that they're the ones who love me, so 1811 01:41:53,760 --> 01:41:55,720 Speaker 1: it's you or that they are some of those who 1812 01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:57,879 Speaker 1: love me, so I'm okay. But they're not the only ones, hopefully. 1813 01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:01,040 Speaker 1: Sometimes their love is tough, it's little. It's a little 1814 01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:05,919 Speaker 1: bit of salty love. Sandra Rights enjoyed the shout out workouts. 1815 01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:07,720 Speaker 1: By the way, the only guy who makes sense to 1816 01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:10,360 Speaker 1: me and thousand of others is the natural bodybuilder and 1817 01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:13,800 Speaker 1: coach Tom Venuto. And he's got a bunch of books. 1818 01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:17,200 Speaker 1: He's excellent. He's won eight top competitions for natural bodybuilders. Yeah, 1819 01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:19,360 Speaker 1: I mean, Sandra, I'm somebody who has never had any 1820 01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:22,280 Speaker 1: interest in taking these uh, I mean quite obviously, I've 1821 01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:24,640 Speaker 1: never done it, so I don't have an interest in 1822 01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:26,599 Speaker 1: taking this stuff that makes you get like really big. 1823 01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:30,720 Speaker 1: But I'm I'm trying to see there. Everything's funny when 1824 01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:32,479 Speaker 1: the other conversation about well, I don't want to get 1825 01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:35,200 Speaker 1: too big with muscle. No, no, the problem is I 1826 01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:38,320 Speaker 1: don't want to get too big with chubb So I'm 1827 01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:40,559 Speaker 1: just trying to put on some muscle to avoid getting 1828 01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:44,559 Speaker 1: the big with the chubbiness. It's a different problem of bigness. 1829 01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:46,920 Speaker 1: But you know, it's all about health. It's all about 1830 01:42:46,920 --> 01:42:49,160 Speaker 1: feeling good about yourself, feeling good in your skin, looking 1831 01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:51,559 Speaker 1: good in your clothes. You know, everyone to each his own. 1832 01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:53,800 Speaker 1: You know, some people look better with a little a 1833 01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:55,559 Speaker 1: little extra going on, or you know, they got their 1834 01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:58,080 Speaker 1: own thing going on. And we live in this man 1835 01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:00,360 Speaker 1: society is more superficial than ever be for it is 1836 01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:05,200 Speaker 1: absolutely true. And physical beauty is more highly prized and 1837 01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:08,800 Speaker 1: monetizeable than ever before too. So you know, there's all 1838 01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:10,360 Speaker 1: this pressure on all of us all the time. Maybe 1839 01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:13,000 Speaker 1: it's just like we need to all just start wearing sweats, 1840 01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:15,560 Speaker 1: just start hanging out. I'll worry about it. I'm not 1841 01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:17,880 Speaker 1: sure that's the idea, but it might be an idea. 1842 01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:22,920 Speaker 1: Let's see here, Corey, Sir Buckman, I feel I've held 1843 01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:25,679 Speaker 1: my thoughts back long enough on the Uber issue. Though 1844 01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:27,880 Speaker 1: I find myself more in the middle of the road, 1845 01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:30,439 Speaker 1: leaning toward your viewpoint. I also could see where it 1846 01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:33,920 Speaker 1: could have the potential to encourage discrimination. The phrase try 1847 01:43:34,080 --> 01:43:36,720 Speaker 1: hailing an myc taxi at two Amasa black Man comes 1848 01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:39,320 Speaker 1: to mind. So long as Uber employees honest brokers, it 1849 01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:42,880 Speaker 1: shouldn't be an issue. Shields a shields high onwards and upwards. 1850 01:43:42,960 --> 01:43:48,040 Speaker 1: Tally ho, Well, Corey, the whole getting a cab at 1851 01:43:48,080 --> 01:43:50,160 Speaker 1: two am thing. I've actually done some research on this 1852 01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:51,840 Speaker 1: and talked about on the past. It's not true the 1853 01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:54,439 Speaker 1: way people think it's true, meaning that it's not a 1854 01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:59,360 Speaker 1: discrimination against against African American passengers by white drivers. It's 1855 01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:02,080 Speaker 1: actually almost entirely South Asian drivers in the city of 1856 01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:06,680 Speaker 1: New York, and the discrimination issue is not nearly as 1857 01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:08,640 Speaker 1: clear cut as people are led to believe. A lot 1858 01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:11,519 Speaker 1: of times they just don't want to go far out 1859 01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,519 Speaker 1: of Manhattan, where they have generally the fastest and the 1860 01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:16,679 Speaker 1: quickest trips, because they don't want to get stuck in traffic, 1861 01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:19,160 Speaker 1: or they're signing off at the end of their shift. 1862 01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:21,360 Speaker 1: So I just I have a lot of thoughts in 1863 01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:24,840 Speaker 1: the NYC taxi issue. And as for uber No, I 1864 01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:28,400 Speaker 1: still think that it's better. It's better for people to 1865 01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:32,040 Speaker 1: have accountability in their business transactions. You know, if you're 1866 01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:34,719 Speaker 1: if you're really if you're somebody who's a really bad tipper. 1867 01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:36,479 Speaker 1: I don't think that there's a problem with people knowing 1868 01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:38,639 Speaker 1: that you're a bad tipper. I don't know. I think 1869 01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,160 Speaker 1: that that's fair if we're allowed to if we are 1870 01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:43,360 Speaker 1: allowed to assess the other side, if I'm allowed to say, 1871 01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:45,920 Speaker 1: and I have that this doctor was terrible, was a 1872 01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:48,720 Speaker 1: jerk and didn't know anything. For example, like yet the 1873 01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:51,840 Speaker 1: doctor'd be like, this patient always shows up late, isn't 1874 01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, doesn't want to play ball, and isn't going 1875 01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:55,880 Speaker 1: to listen to me? I don't I know. I look, 1876 01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:57,960 Speaker 1: you got a lot of you disagree with me on this, 1877 01:44:58,040 --> 01:44:59,960 Speaker 1: and I like that. I like it when we keep 1878 01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:02,719 Speaker 1: things spicy in the family. But I am not backing 1879 01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:04,519 Speaker 1: down on this position yet. I have not yet had 1880 01:45:04,600 --> 01:45:07,680 Speaker 1: the compelling moment of Oooh, I guess. I guess they 1881 01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:10,800 Speaker 1: were right and I was wrong because I'm a radio 1882 01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:12,439 Speaker 1: hosts willing to say that, unlike many of them who 1883 01:45:12,479 --> 01:45:15,040 Speaker 1: always talk about how fantastic and perfect they are. That's 1884 01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:17,679 Speaker 1: gonna be it for the Show Today team. You're all fantastic, 1885 01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:20,599 Speaker 1: wonderful and perfect. That I do know for sure. I'm 1886 01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:23,120 Speaker 1: excited to talk to you all, same time, same place. 1887 01:45:23,880 --> 01:45:24,559 Speaker 1: Shield's high
