WEBVTT - Cocaine Mitch Is A Very Ruthless Person 0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:14.920 You are entering the Freedom Hunt. Is the Senate trial 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:18.040 almost over or is it just the end of the 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.720 beginning or perhaps the middle. We'll get into that and 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:24.880 then also CNN is concerned that there's not enough diversity 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.600 of those in charge of the fight against coronavirus. We 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.280 got Brexit, the super Bowl, and oh so much more. 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.479 Oh my, coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. This 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.880 is the Buck Sexon Show, where the mission or mission 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:43.960 is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.360 no mistake American great, You're a great American again, The 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:57.960 Buck Sexon Show begins. Analyst, he's a great guy. Now, Hello, team, 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:01.160 good to be back, misterius. Sorry to be gone yesterday. 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.920 Down with my good friends to Stansbury Research yesterday in Baltimore. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.679 We got a book draft in book will be coming 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.640 out in the next ninety days. Turn it around as 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.360 quickly as possible to get it out in the out 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:18.560 in the public for election time. As these things go, 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.039 you got to make sure you time it properly. But 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.360 I did miss doing the show yesterday. I trust my 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.240 friend and colleague Madison Jessiato kept you all informed and entertained. 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:32.160 Here in the Freedom hunt. I was able to catch 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:37.040 a good amount of the latest round of last minute 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:42.680 desperate arguments from the Democrats about why we should extend, 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.560 extend this sham of a trial because we need more witnesses. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.880 Remember when they say to you, as they have been endlessly, 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:57.200 when they say to you that a trial without witnesses 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:02.120 is not in fact a trial, that leaves out that 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:08.280 the Democrats alone called seventeen witnesses. The Democrats did not 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.280 allow any Republican witnesses, nor did the Democrats allow for 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.720 the president's counsel to be present at any phase of 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:20.120 the depositions. And there was no cross examination of these witnesses. 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.320 So they were able to line up an entirely one 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:28.959 sided case so that they could use that evidence, whatever 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.080 you want to call it, You could use the testimony 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:36.040 of those individuals to get the House of Representatives to 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:41.160 have an entirely party line vote to impeach the President 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:46.200 of the United States. And then when it made its 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.799 way over into the Senate, they realize, well, we don't 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.920 have the majority, so party line vote won't do it. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.320 In fact, we need a two thirds majority, sixty seven. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.520 That's a tough number to get to, and so they 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.480 had no open what do they do now? They try 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.840 to extend it, But the processes has been entirely unfair 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.160 all along for those who are now claiming if it's 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:12.000 a trial, which is interesting because it's not a criminal trial. 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:16.000 So really the only procedural safeguards that are in place 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.960 are what appears fair to those running it in the 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.959 House and the Senate. So if it's not a criminal trial, 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.560 then it's up to the people that are constitutionally bound 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:33.600 to hold this process. But if we're going to talk 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.760 about fairness, how about this. It is an essential characteristic 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:43.360 of our system of justice that when someone is accused 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:49.200 of something, they have the right to contest to cross 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:54.520 examine that accuser. In this case, not only is there 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:59.440 no ability to contests to cross examine the accuser the whistleblower, 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:06.000 we are not allowed to know officially who the whistleblower is. 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.680 The American people are being told that there's a political 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:14.480 process underway to judge a president and perhaps remove him, 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:19.560 and to end a presidency before it has even completed 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.560 its first four year term, because we know he's going 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:28.599 for eight and there's no willingness to name the central 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.760 accuser of this whole thing, the person who got it 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.760 all started. How could anyone claim that this is fairness. 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.000 Why is it the case that we have no ability 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:43.080 to cross examine the individual who may have very well colluded. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:48.599 There's that word conspired behind the scenes with Adam shaff 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:54.320 members of his staff in order to bring this absurd 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.280 complaint against the President of the United States. So this 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.839 hasn't been fair. And that then brings to where I 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.360 depart from some of their conservatives out there, who say, 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.040 let's do the witness thing. Mid Romney we know, has 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.640 said that. Susan Collins of Maine has said that. But 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:17.040 Lamar Alexander, Oh, Lamar Alexander, Democrat of Tennessee, has said, 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:24.239 I'm sorry. Republican of Tennessee has said that he will 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:29.440 not not push for witnesses, that enough is enough on 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:34.400 this one. Let's just understand that there's no good faith 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.640 coming from the other side. So if the main reason 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.159 that many people give for why we should extend this 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.880 and have witnesses is that it would make the process 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.120 seem more fair to the American people, No, you can't 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:53.680 reward the tyrannical, maniacal efforts of Democrats to cheat at 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.200 every phase of a process, and then when they haven't 0:05:56.200 --> 0:06:00.320 gotten their way, when really the whole process was boomed 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.880 from the start because of the way they approached it, 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.760 when they haven't gotten what they want at the end 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.400 of it, to give them another shot just because you 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.280 want to see him like you're the good guys, This 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:18.080 is foolishness. This is foolishness. This should be finished, off 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:22.920 ended done. Does anyone really believe that if we were 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.440 to allow for a week as Adam Schiff is not saying, 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.599 we need a week of witnesses, does anyone really believe 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:33.839 that if we pushed for and if the Senate voted 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.880 in favor of this, Democrats would then say, when the 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.440 inevitable result of an acquittal happens for the president, that Okay, 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.799 it was a fair trial and the president was acquitted. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.880 I guess, I guess we made a mistake on this one. 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.360 I guess we had an error in judgment. Nobody thinks that, 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:57.320 no intelligent human being believes that that is the case. 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.560 No one thinks that if we play nicer with the 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:05.520 Democrats at this phase, there will be anything to benefit 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:11.040 the Republicans, or just our general perception of this that 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.400 results from the Democrats willingness to admit that this whole 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.360 thing was unfair and a scam all along. So why 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.520 is it that we on the right seem so unwilling 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.440 to learn, not even lessons of the past, the lessons 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:27.120 of last week, of the last three months. Why do 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:32.520 we refuse to learn the lesson? I can't really give 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.360 you a clear answer. All I can say to you is, well, 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.960 we seem to think that we get a merit badge, 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.600 We get a pat on the head as conservatives for 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.600 being too nice to Democrats who have been engaged in 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:55.400 all kinds of historyonics, cheating, false accusations, just the worst 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:59.720 kind of behavior. Why reward Pelosi a nadler, and Schiff 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.400 and Schumer with additional days to smear the president when 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.240 that's all this is? There is nothing new. I do 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.640 not care what John Bolton has to say. If John 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.960 Bolton says, yes, there was a quid pro quo, it 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:16.680 will not change my opinion of these proceedings one bit, 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.280 because ultimately there's no crime, The president didn't do anything wrong, 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.480 and there's nothing to see here. It's stunning that there 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.559 are still so many who don't seem able to figure 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.280 out what's really going on. There is a stop at 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:36.199 nothing approach from the opponents of this presidency to tear 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:40.400 this president down because he is such a threat to them, 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:45.000 to their privileges, to their power, to the perception of 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:49.079 them as wise, erudite people that should be running the country. 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.800 The political class, the media class. He's a threat to 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.800 all of this, so they hate him for it, and 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.080 they view whatever they have to do as necessary against 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:03.680 this president. I mean, really with Democrats at this point, 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.320 it reminds me of the old story of what the 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.520 scorpion and the frog. Some people I've heard say the 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.640 turtle and the frog, the same idea the scorpion and 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.520 the frog. The very short version of this is there's 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:20.000 a river. Frogs can swim, Scorpions can't. Scorpion goes up 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.720 at the frog and says, hey, can you take me across? 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.520 And the frog says, hold on a second, you're a scorpion. 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.959 I don't want to get stung. Scarpion says, come on, 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.520 I'm not gonna sting you. Yeah. I sting everything else, 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.040 and I sting people all the time, but I'm not 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.000 gonna sting you. I just want to get across the river. 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.800 He goes all right, scarpion hops in the frog's back, 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.440 gets out in the middle of the river. Sure enough, 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:45.880 damn stings him before he drowns because now he's paralyzed. 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.560 Looks up at the frog, looks up the scorpion and says, 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.199 why do you do that? Now we're both gonna die? 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.959 What does the scorpion say? It is in my nature? 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.240 We know what is in Pelosi and Schumer and Schiff 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.360 and the Democrat socialist left nature. We know who they are, 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.800 we know how they play the game. We think that 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.200 there's something to benefit our side, something to benefit the 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:15.160 country by dragging out this boring, disgraceful sham of an impeachment, 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:21.400 horrible judgment. Any conservative who is advocating for witnesses, I 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.199 think is showing really bad judgment on this issue. I'm 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.040 not saying they do so in bad faith. I just 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.559 think they're wrong. How much more do we have to see? 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.000 Why take the risk? By the way, who knows? Let's 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.720 remember this, speaking of the nature of Democrats, you know 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.200 the Democrat party as the scorpion that will kill the 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.319 frog even if it sinks both of them. Right, That's 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:48.880 that's who we're really dealing with here. Cavanon was about 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.400 to sail through. They tried, you know, oh well, his 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.080 credentials are impeccable. There's really no case against him. Everyone 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.080 loves him and he's great, God great's job, brilliant, gold 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.800 standard resume, everything's lining up. What do they do at 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.560 the eleventh hour Try to out a bunch of crazy 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.520 people to lie about it and then have the whole 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.160 media appara to say, well, there's no evidence and these 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.760 stories don't even add up, and it all seems like bs. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.880 But you know, let's destroy this guy's life because we've 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:16.280 got to make sure we don't have a conservative on 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:22.000 the court. You want to give them another week, remember 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.720 the game last time. Let's have the FBI investigate the 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.400 allegations of it. Was the dumbest thing I've ever heard 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.160 in my life. FBI's not there's nothing to investigator. That 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.520 can't figure anything out. FB has not some super secret 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.520 squad of investigators that has a time machine. This is absurd. 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.640 But the whole there are some Republicans We'll all look 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:47.240 like I'm more even handed and fair minded. What I mean, 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.840 We're going into Super Bowl Sunday. As John Madden would say, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.760 just wap it down. And this thing, it's absurd. It 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.920 needs to stop. The message we want to send is 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.360 that we understand how the other side plays. The message 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:02.960 we want to send is that we've already seen enough 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.720 frogs drowned to know that we're not going to give 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.240 a piggyback to a scorpion anymore. How about that for 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:14.520 a lesson, GOP You're in the freedom Hunt. This is 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:21.080 the Buck Sexton Show podcast. We're dealing with a purely 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:26.160 partisan impeachment with bipartisan opposition, no crime, no violation of 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:31.640 law in an election year. Okay, never happened before, no investigation, 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:38.280 no due process, nothing. And what they're telling you, I mean, 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.400 we can talk all we want, and we will, but 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.720 but what are we talking about at the end of 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.240 the day. We're talking about removing a president of the 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.120 United States from a ballot in an election that's occurring 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:56.600 in months. Who thinks that's a good idea, particularly when 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.920 you're dealing with a purely partisan in eachment that was 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:05.560 warned about from the Framers. Okay, so the only appropriate 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:11.200 result that won't damage our country horribly, maybe forever, but 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:17.240 certainly for generations, is a verdict of acquittal. Sipoloni has 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.760 done a fantastic job throughout He's really made an he's 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:24.400 earned a name for himself, a worthwhile name at that. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.680 He is an excellent lawyer, and he's been among the 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.400 strongest of all the people speaking in defense of the president. 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.760 Although you know, the dirsh really got under the Libs 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.920 skin on this stuff because they are even lying about 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.880 how he's now abandoned one of his defenses. I might 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.160 get to that later if we have time. I have 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:43.959 other things to talk about that other than impeachment. Some 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:45.679 of you been saying buck enough on the beachment, like 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.120 I'm trying. So there's the obsession of the media. It's 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.120 the obsession of the people that their job is to 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.120 actually bring you facts and things that matter. So, yes, 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.880 got some updates on coronavirus. People are saying that there's 0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:01.160 a racist response to coronavirus in the media. What people 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.480 just don't want to die from a preventive from an 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.520 infectious disease. That there's not this We don't we don't 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.240 need to make this about wokesm right, We don't need 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:11.760 to make this a woke issue. We can just make 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.840 this that people don't want to die from an infectious disease. 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.920 But but back to what the Democrats have been pushing 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:21.880 for here all along. Think about this for a moment. 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:26.840 Imagine if they got their way. Imagine for a moment 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:33.240 if the Democrats did, in fact manage to remove this president. 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.640 They talk about how they want this country brought back together. 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.680 They've got these candidates like Joe Biden who will say, oh, 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.600 I need to unify this country. I've been so polarized. 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.600 What could be more polarizing than in an election year 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:53.800 after We've had three years of really exceptionally good governance 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.120 from this president, a record that is crushing. This is 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.960 the best presidential record of my adult lifetime, of any president. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.480 That's just a fact. There's no one else who can 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.600 compare the first three years of their presidency. For as 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.920 long as I've been old enough to really pay attention, 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.200 no one else who can compare to what Donald Trump 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.160 has done. And you get an election coming up. They 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.680 say he's horrible, he's in a front of the constitution, 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.840 he's all these things, and so they won't allow the 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.080 American people to make a determination about him. They won't 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.560 allow the political process to play out. Instead, they are 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:34.320 pulling all of the fire alarms in the building. You 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.560 know they can't win the debate, so what do you do. 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.360 You make a lot of noise, you bang on the doors, 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.880 you pull the fire alarms. They're desperate to do something, 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:49.120 and that's what we see going on here Joe Biden, 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:53.560 for example. The good news for Joe Biden, or rather 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.600 the good news from Maziehrono, is that Joe Biden is 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.760 dumber than any current sitting editor. So congratulations to Maisie 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:03.800 Herono because Joe Biden is dumber than she is, which 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:08.160 is stunning. That's quite an achievement com we have. Well 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:09.880 we'll get to Masie Arono in a moment. But here 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:14.120 here's Joe Biden talking about this, not when he's asked 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.160 about whether this is partisan, because Biden, by the way, 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.600 has always said we should not have partisan impeachments. Play 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:23.400 clip twenty four mark only in nineteen seventy four, wrong 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:27.680 in nineteen ninety eight. Why isn't it wrong now because 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:32.280 it's not a partisan impeachment. He violated the constitution. Perry 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:37.760 Democrats voted for the House. Well, that doesn't mean that 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:41.000 the facts, the underlying facts tours whether the Constitution has 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.920 been violated. That's the issue. That's the issue. The com 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.400 was the Constitution violated. Even if it's a party line period, 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.040 even if it's party line vote, it just goes and 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.120 reflects on those who know in fact, in their heart 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.400 and their head that in fact it's a violation of 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.720 the Constitution to do what he did and at vote no. 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.880 That's party line vote, But that doesn't make it right. 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.879 A party line vote that is based upon something that 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:11.520 doesn't relate to a constitutional violation is a different thing. Blather, 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:18.000 Just confused, mister magoo blather from Joe Biden here Ersten. 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:22.879 A partisan impeachment or a partisan impreachment is uh, you 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.720 know when there's not the partisans who are being partisan 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:30.360 because the Constitution and the thing about the Yeah what 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:36.600 Joe Biden, folks, I got it. I laughed. I actually led, 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.200 which is a rare thing for me. That happens sometimes 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.080 when I'm reading through Twitter. But I laughed because Tucker 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.359 had this whole thing about how I'm even just thinking 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.639 about it, that's the whole thing about how Joe Biden 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.680 should be Did you see this Prouser Mark, how Joe 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.080 Biden shouldn't be in the race. He should be feeding 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:59.840 pigeons from his ice cream coating Flooria and they had 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:03.000 a little graphic of him breaking off bits of his 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:07.000 ice cream code and feeding it to pigeons in Florida. 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.480 I think that's I think that's fair at this point. 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.800 Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.640 to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:22.919 you get your podcasts. Mitch Kano is a very ruthless person. 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.280 He can cut the voltinos what he needs to do, 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.320 and this is why he took the last day or 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.879 so to really put pressure on his caucus so that 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.480 they would not be that fourth volders coming forward here 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:39.879 saying that they have their votes. I wouldn't be surprised 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.720 we're still hoping, because you know, that's what we do 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:47.960 around here. That's a that's a campaign at as far 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:52.480 as I could serve for cocaine. Mitch Mazie Horrono dumbest 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.600 current member of the Senate. Joe Biden, formerly of the Senate, 0:18:56.720 --> 0:19:01.080 dumber than Mazie Horono. But you have Rono's saying Mitch 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:05.040 McConnell is a quote, very ruthless person, cocaine, Mitch. Don't 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:09.680 play games. Cocaine. Mitch is a very ruthless person. So 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.639 I think that she's cut a free campaign commercial for 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:17.240 Mitch McConnell. And give give Mitch credit. He's apparently exerting 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.320 a lot of a lot of authority among his caucus, 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.600 exerting a lot of authority among members of the Republican 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.400 members of the Senate to make sure that they don't 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:33.280 fall victim to the absurd, absurd demand now that the 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.800 Senate has to do the work that Democrats were unwilling 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.000 to do. Democrats don't play by the rules. And then 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.080 they turn around and say, well, you have to play 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:45.280 by the rules now, No, that that's not how this 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.320 is going to go. That's not how this should work. 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.919 It would be an error. I don't even care. By 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.600 the way, and people that say they want witnesses, and 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.080 I'm talking about conservatives now including something that I think 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.280 are very smart and that I really like as people, 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.479 I think they're very wrong on this, because even if 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.720 you extend this thing out and nothing bad comes of it, 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:07.159 we should re establish here, or I guess, just establish 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.639 a new principle that the other side doesn't get to 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:14.280 cheat and then hold us to the most precise and 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:20.280 extreme interpretation of inherently subjective rules. Anyway, they don't get 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.280 to say we're gonna go, We're gonna go bare knuckle. 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:25.000 You guys have to be really nice and generous with 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:30.840 the rules. Trump Ism is a rejection of that wholesale 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.240 that is the great thing about the president instead of 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:36.639 sitting there while you know over ninety percent of the 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.879 media just trashes a Republican and they and the Republican 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.040 just has to meekly take it, as you know, the 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.720 commander in chief Trump's like, no, you're a bunch of 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:48.840 fake news, your clowns, you're jerks, And he's right to do. 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:52.040 So why is it that only on our side that 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:55.520 the president should always get trashed by people pretending to 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:57.760 speak truth to power when they're just little lackeys of 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:03.320 the left. So I think it's important here. It's about 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:08.560 it's about establishing a principle that principles have to apply 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.600 to both sides in politics. We're not going to do 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:14.560 this anymore where where we're boy scouts, we're the hall 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:16.879 monitors and they get to be the bad boys skip 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:21.960 in school, smoking cigarettes around the corner, riding on motorcycles 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:25.800 or whatever the cool kids do. I've actually never been 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:29.440 on a motorcycle, so I note. I gotta say. People 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:33.960 sometimes approach me and they ask me about theories that 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:35.920 they have. I don't want to call them conspiracy theories, 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:38.359 because when when I've had folks reach out to me, 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.560 especially about Epstein things, I'd up saying, yeah, I think, 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:42.920 I think you're probably right. Yeah I think, and that 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.800 might be considered a conspiracy theory. But there are conspiracies, 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:50.919 and sometimes you have to theorize to understand what the 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:58.240 conspiracy is. But generally when people ask me, especially those 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:00.480 who trust me listening to day in day out, if 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:01.840 they see me on the street, or if they write 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:03.920 me an email and they say, have I've got I've 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:05.440 got this kind of out there theory, And I always 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:07.879 appreciate that they trust me to analyze it for them, 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:09.199 and I tell them the truth. I think, now that's 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:11.480 a little too far off, or you know, I'll try 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.520 to say something if it's really out there, like I 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.360 appreciate your creativity or you're thinking outside the box. Those 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:18.840 of you who know this show, well, no, that's my 0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:22.879 most affectionate and respectful way of saying I don't see it, 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.600 but you're still you could be right. You could be right. 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:28.919 I just don't think it's probably in a particular instance 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:31.679 the case. But I've had people come up to me 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:33.920 recently they want to talk to me about what is 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:36.160 going on with and I say, come up to me. Yes, 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:38.239 some of talk to me, but also reach out to me. 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:43.080 What's going on with John Roberts? Why why is John Roberts? 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.679 Do they people have I said, do they have something 0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:51.160 on him? Do they does the left have something on him? 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:55.480 And I would be inclined to say no because there's 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:58.280 no evidence of that, right, I don't have any evidence 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:01.000 of that. But I also can't say that that's completely 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:05.000 crazy because I have no way of explaining to you 0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:07.840 why when they did this whole Q and a session 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.280 thing with senators, where do they have, Oh, we get 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:13.359 to have the one team the president's defense team or 0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:17.320 the prosecutors, the House managers trying to make the case 0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:21.600 to remove the president. Questions posed by senators and you 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:27.480 had Senator rand Paul who posed a question and this 0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:32.119 was the response. This was the response of the Chief 0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:36.320 Justice who's presiding over all of this. A producer Mark, 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:41.360 please please play whichever twenty two. I have a question 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:44.760 to present to the desk for the House Manager Chief 0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:49.240 and for the President's Council. Thank you. The presiding officer 0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:59.760 declines to read the question as submitted. What why that's stunning? 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:03.679 Why does the presiding officer in this case the the 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:06.360 Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who's really just supposed 0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:08.520 to be a traffic cop. No offensive traffic cops, but 0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:12.119 you know, supposed to be a traffic cop, determining that 0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:15.000 the process proceeds as agreed by the Senate. But the 0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:18.919 Senate is running the show. He's just there. He's not 0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:20.840 really there as a judge. He's there a little bit 0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:24.080 more just as a you know, a guy to referee 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:28.080 a little bit. But he doesn't have the same power, 0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:30.960 he would say in a federal court where the judge 0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:33.239 gets to determined like, you know, judge can clear the room, 0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:35.120 judge could send you to prison. Judge has a lot 0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:38.880 of power in a courtroom. He's just there to kind 0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:41.040 of make sure that the teas are crossed and the 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:43.879 eyes are dotted, and you know, no one keeps everybody 0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:46.960 up too late, they break for lunch, that kind of stuff. 0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:51.359 Why did the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court refuse 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:56.080
