WEBVTT - Nobody Likes Bernie Sanders 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.240 You are entering the freedom hunt. The Buck is back team, 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.400 and I'm excited to be here, of course, to break 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.920 down all the latest like shutdown, impeachment. Now Hillary torches, 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:27.160 Burney says nobody likes him, AOC wants billionaire power. Harward 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.800 goes to CNN, and of course Ivan Nati might be 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.480 in el Chapo's former self, added Moore. Coming up. This 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.960 is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:44.040 is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.440 no mistake, American great, You're a great American Again, the 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:57.040 Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now, now 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.560 he used to impeach this president. You did not allow 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.440 him to call any witnesses. He could not have a 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.679 lawyer present during the House Intel Committee. This has been 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.679 a partisan railroad job, and you're asking for fairness and Senate. 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.000 You violated every norm of what we do. It took 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.920 five years for Star to look at Clinton, Mueller looked 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.959 at Trump for almost two years, and you took forty 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.679 eight days. So here's what I would say. The sooner 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.200 this is over, the better for the country. When get 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.600 back to the business of the American people and do 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.600 things that really matter to them. I've seen. I've been 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:35.760 very consistent. I supported Mueller. I trusted him to be fair. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.959 This has been a political hit job. This is political revenge, 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.160 and what they're doing to the presidency is a danger 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.840 to the institution itself. Welcome everybody to the Buck Sections Show. 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.840 Hopefully you recognize the voice after a few days of 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:56.080 being out, very successful and somewhat relaxing trip in California. 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:57.920 I'll tell you about later on in the show. That's 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.720 the most that I plan on being absent the Freedom 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.600 Hut until after election Day. So that's it. It's just 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.000 me and producer Mark here in the Hut. Ride or die. 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:12.680 Producer Mark, We're not going anywhere, my friend. We ride together, 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.679 We die together. Bad boys for life. Oh, I'm taking 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.200 a couple of days off here. Okay, well he's gonna 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.600 take a couple of days off. But I'm back, baby, 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.560 and I'm excited about it. Yeah, my man, Lindsey Graham 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.280 there laying down for you the truth of what's really 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.200 going on with this impeachment sham. And it is a sham, 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:34.120 as I have been telling you. We've seen now the schedule, 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.280 we know more or less how this is going to 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.920 shake out. The President's not going to be removed from office. 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:45.560 That's been understood from the beginning. But Democrats are increasingly desperate. 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.000 They know it's not really going to work, and what 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:52.080 was this all about. There's fighting among Democrat candidates that's 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.840 getting nastier and nastier as the Iowa Caucuses approaches. The 0:02:55.880 --> 0:03:00.600 tension is rising and people are more linth than ever 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.400 to lie to misdirect. That's why you come here to 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:09.240 the Freedom Hut, because we will crush all those commies. 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.560 We will slash and burn all the lies. That is 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:17.440 what we do here. So we know that there's going 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:23.720 to be a apparently truncated Senate trial that could change 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.680 depending on how the witness portion of this goes. But 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.280 over the next couple of days, you're going to have 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:34.600 the Senate producing Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans, looking at the 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.640 different components of the trial and coming to a conclusion. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.040 And this just reminds me of what I've been saying 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:42.880 all along, which is that I don't think that they 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.600 should allow for there to be more witnesses to be called. 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.200 I don't think that they should do the work that 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.360 the House of Representatives the Democrat House was unwilling to do. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.320 To borrow from John Madden because producer Mark is always 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.760 teaching me about sports and his video game Circa two 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:03.200 thousand and two thousand and four on PlayStation. Don't try 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.440 to intercept it. Just wap it down. Just wap it down. 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.560 It's not my new favorite thing to say. Some of 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.320 you will remember that. Others you're like, what is Buck 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.040 talking about? It means don't try to get cute, don't 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:19.400 try to make the Democrats marinate in the agony of 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:27.479 their hypocrisy. Just shut this thing down. That's what should 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:31.960 be done here. That it should be dismissed with prejudice. 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:38.160 And that is also what is said in the trial memorandum. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.320 I read the trial memorandum. It's about one hundred and 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.000 ten pages. It's it's worth at least reading executive summary 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:46.840 if you get a minute. Well, actually know, I'll tell 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.440 you about it. You don't read it, That's why I'm here. 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.840 But then the rest of it goes into some greater detail. 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.880 Here the top lines on it. Here, here's the most 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.360 important stuff, because this is finally the president getting people 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.680 on his side to present their case formally in a 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:08.160 written document about I guess all documents are written in 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.760 some way, right, but about how this whole thing is absurd, 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:17.400 it's wrong, it's unethical, it's a desperation play by very 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.359 desperate Democrats. And here's one line from it that I 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:26.640 particularly liked. The articles of impeachment quote should be rejected 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.680 and the president should immediately be acquitted according to his 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.760 trial memorandum, at least none by the White House. He's 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.560 got his legal team, he's got people that have finally 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.040 come together to make the argument. This is what I've 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.560 been saying. No, No, the Democrats want this to be 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.880 a circus. A circus is better for them, even if 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.000 it doesn't work out in the end with the president 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:51.119 being removed. They know that won't happen. But they also 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.320 don't want people to pay too close attention to the 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.800 arguments that Democrats are going to be making against each other. 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.479 Right now, you see one of the problems they have 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.800 is that anyone and you see this, and we'll get 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.520 into this in more detail, who tries to take down 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.000 Biden as the front runner is going to make arguments 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:11.719 that by their very nature tie into the arguments Trump 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:16.279 will make about Biden's corruption. For example, about Biden being 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.800 too old, out of touch, too white, too male, too whatever. 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.719 These are things that Trump will be saying down the line, 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.080 so there's that risk. Democrats would rather have this just 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:30.160 fought out among primary voters and in the Democrat friendly media. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.719 They don't want too many people paying attention to the 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.760 nastiness among these candidates on the left. They also don't 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.599 want people to look at what's really going on in 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.000 this country. Oh, the war you were on that didn't happen, 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.920 the genocide of the Kurds that didn't happen, the collapse 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.039 of the economy that didn't happen, the trade war with 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.160 China that we are winning. By the way, where is 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.320 it exactly that Trump is such a massive failure, I 0:06:55.400 --> 0:07:01.600 mean a point of failure. They don't really have much, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:06.200 do they. And if they didn't have the ability, if 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.480 the media, the Democrats one and the same, if they 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:14.200 couldn't fill the airwaves with all of these stories about 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.960 the impeachment and how Trump is so evil and must 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:21.679 be removed and fighting out about all this detail, treating 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.040 this like a criminal, leading legal proceeding when it suits them, 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:29.640 and then abandoning any pretense of due process. That's what 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.960 the Democrats do the second that it won't work out 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:36.800 in their favor. Anyone who is fair minded looks at 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.480 this and understands exactly or is this has been a 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.760 partisan hitch job from day one. Lindsay Graham is correct. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:46.440 The articles should be rejected, the president should be immediately acquitted. 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.560 The plan, by the way, is Senate trial to start 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:57.240 at one pm Eastern Tuesday. McConnell wants to give each 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.360 side twenty four hours to make their case. Of course, 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:07.240 of a couple of days. Democrats, well, this could end 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.920 before Trump even gives the State of the Union address, 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.720 and I certainly hope that it does. It's going to 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.640 be quite a State of the Union address, by the way. 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:22.120 We'll be entertaining that much, I can't assure you. But 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.880 there are some very important parts of this trauma, random 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.800 about the impeachment that I wanted to spend some time 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.160 with you on. And then we'll move on to AOC 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.640 as a Marxist, a full on Marxist. Okay, this is now. 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.920 We're now past the oh we're gonna be Sweden. We're 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.640 not gonna be Sweden. You've got Democrats now that really 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.239 do want this place to be much closer in structured Eventezuela. 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.160 They just think that it's going to work out differently 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:50.160 this time, as well as the Democrat in fighting. I'll 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.160 give you my thoughts on the rally of Second Amendment 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:57.160 patriots at the Virginia State House yesterday. We got a 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.880 lot of stuff to get into today, but just here 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.800 here if you will, is I thought the most important 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.920 if you're looking for a consolidation of the case that 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.480 this whole impeachment is absurd and really quite damaging to 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.719 the country, and the Democrats who are involved in this 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.280 are involved in something that is shameful. Not only are 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:21.440 they incorrect, it is shameful what they are doing. Here's 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:25.559 what is said in this defense of Trump that has 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:30.760 finally been released after focus group testing, charges House Democrats 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:34.480 settled on two flimsy articles of impeachment that allege no 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.200 crime or violation of law whatsoever, much less high crimes 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.400 and misdemeanors as required by the Constitution. They do not 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.760 remotely approach the constitutional threshold for removing a president from office. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:50.800 The diluted standard asserted here would permanently weaken the presidency 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.840 and forever all to the balance among the branches of 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:58.640 government in a matter that offends the constitutional design established 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:03.160 by the founders. House Democrats jettisoned all precedent and principle 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.160 because their impeachment inquisition was never really about discovering the 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:11.840 truth or conducting a fair investigation. Instead, House Democrats were 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.800 determined from the outset to find some way, anyway to 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.560 corrupt the extraordinary power of impeachment for use as a 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.840 political tool, to overturn the result of the twenty sixteen 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:27.240 election and to interfere in the twenty twenty election. All 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.960 of this is a dangerous perversion of the Constitution that 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:37.600 the Senate should swiftly and roundly condemn end. Quote yep, 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:40.760 pretty much says it all, doesn't it. I Mean there's more, 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:45.160 and we'll get into a bit more of it, but 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:50.360 let's just start with this one House Rather, the abuse 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:56.200 of power is a made up standard. This is not 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.080 a standard for removal from office. That they made this 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.079 a standard of impeachment just goes to show you that 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.920 they don't care what the precedents are, what the rules are, 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:11.160 what any sense of fairness would mandate here. They just 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.240 want to do it their way. They want to result 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.760 the process here is meaningless to them unless the process 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:25.120 gives them the conclusion that they seek in all of 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:30.480 this abuse of power is a made up standard. There 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.040 are some headings in the memorandum that give you a 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.880 good overview of what the defense here is of the president. 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.640 And I want you to be familiar with this team. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.960 I want you to know about this because the media 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.240 is going overtime here. I mean, they know this is 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:48.720 their last chance in their minds to at least turn 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.360 this impeachment into some kind of political win for the 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:56.880 Democrats and their hopes to gain the presidency in twenty twenty. 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.200 The rest of us look at this and say, what 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.080 a joke the media is saying, Come on, everybody, it's 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.520 all hands on deck. Have to do everything we can 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:10.679 against Trump. For the Democrats, that's the plan. Ultimately, they 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.880 recognize the likelihood of Donald Trump winning four more years 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:20.480 in office, they find this untenable. I don't know what happens. 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.000 They've already been emotionally broken. Now they're emotionally broken, and 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.240 Trump would be rubbing salt in their emotional wounds for 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.559 four more years. I don't know what happens to them 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.240 if they have to deal with this president again for 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:37.160 another term. They've already lost their sense of rationality, of decency, 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.920 of normalcy. I don't know what else they have left 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:45.920 to give or to lose, and they know that too. 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.600 So there's a desperation. That's an important word to keep 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.640 in mind, your desperation to make a case that is 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:56.040 absurd on its face. Here is one of those subheadings 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.599 in the memorandum. House democrats can coct the theory that 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.800 the president can be impeached for taking permissible actions if 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.960 he does them for what they believe to be the 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.920 wrong reasons. This would also expand the impeachment power beyond 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.240 constitutional bounds. It would allow a hostile house to attack 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:17.120 almost any presidential action by challenging a president's subjective motives. 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:22.480 This has been a feature of hashtag resistance opposition to 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:27.720 President Trump for his entire time in office. If Trump 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:32.760 does something, it's illegitimate because they can see into Trump's 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.640 hard and find illegitimate motive, even if he has the power, 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.320 even if as a function of his office he's allowed 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.520 to do something, When Trump does it, it's wrong. This 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.960 is kind of the opposite of Nixon Enough, the president 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:49.560 doesn't it's not illegal. Right. This is now President Trump 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.240 who is breaking the law by doing things that another 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.240 president would be allowed to do. But you see he's Trump. 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.640 There are federal judges Obama pointees of course, who have 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.240 taken the same approach. Well, because the President said something 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:10.120 that leftist didn't like during this was a real judicial opinion, folks, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.760 This was a real federal judge writing this down and 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.680 making a determination using his power to this end. Because 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.440 Trump said things during the campaign that showed a bias 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.080 against certain people. According to this judge, he was not 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:29.120 allowed to institute a ban on people traveling from seven 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.840 countries under certain conditions for a certain period of time, 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.440 even though that is an executive that is a presidential prerogative. 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:40.240 But you see he's Trump. Same thing applies here. They've 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:44.200 created a make belief standard where well, even if he's 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.000 allowed to have the conversation with Zelenski about Ukraine that 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:51.680 he did, because it's Trump, we know it's illicit. It's 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:57.320 Trump derangement syndrome. That's what is undergirding, that is the foundation, 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:03.680 the underlying architecture of impeachment against this president is Trump 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:10.360 derangement syndrome. The defensness memorandum makes it clear. And the 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.880 people that are still attacking the president are getting sillier 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:19.120 and sillier and as I said, more desperate. You're in 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.800 the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:31.080 The question of witnesses in any trial. In any trial, 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:35.720 all relevant witnesses must be heard. Whether if you're accused 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.760 of robbing a bank, testimony that I saw him robbed 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:41.560 the bank or he was somewhere else he couldn't have 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.400 ribbed the bank is admissible. It's not negotiable whether you 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.480 have witnesses. And this whole controversy about whether there should 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.200 be witnesses is really a question of does the Senate 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:52.880 want to have a fair trial or do they or 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.560 are they part of the cover up of the president. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.320 Any Republican senator who says there should be no witnesses, 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.720 or even that witnesses would be negotiated is part of 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.640 the cover up. So you're saying, no way would Hunter 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.640 Biden ever be called to testify. Well, I'm saying that 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:13.080 Hunter Biden has no knowledge of the accusations against the president. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.880 So wait, I'm sorry, I thought Jerry Nadler there, you 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.160 know he wants the witnesses, But I mean not witnesses. 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.760 It doesn't want you gotta have witnesses, you see, that 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.440 would be a principle, by the way, a principal Democrats 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.880 already abandoned in the House when they had the votes, 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.840 when they had the authority to make this process up 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.920 as they went along. No, no, forget forget about calling 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:36.040 certain witnesses right, forget about adjudicating that through the court system. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.160 Just just move the thing through as fast as you can. 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.760 Just ram it through. That was the approach. Why didn't 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.200 they ask for these the witnesses that Democrats think are 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.240 important for the Senate to here from. Why didn't the 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.640 House try to push that issue because they had to 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.840 create impeachment. They had to get it across the goal 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.480 line and then try to add to it. Oh but 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:01.080 hunter Biden, Hunter Biden is irrelevant. This goes to the 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:04.159 heart of the matter in many ways. And this is 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.200 now going to be a moment where I tell you 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:10.560 I've been telling you this the whole time. The defense 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:15.240 that many Republicans were trying to use of this president 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.919 was there a quid pro quo? Was it? They have 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.640 skipped over a critical fact here, and that is there 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:26.880 is nothing wrong with the president asking a foreign counterpart 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:31.200 to look into corruption that, by the way, would happen 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:36.119 to touch upon real allegations against the Biden family. Sorry, 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:40.560 they have no immunity. There's no special Biden clause in 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:46.680 federal law. It's just too darned bad. That is the 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:50.639 ground that Republicans should have been defending President Trump on 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.840 from the beginning. It's what I've been saying from the beginning. 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.480 Why do we concede that they're oh, yeah, it was well, 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.399 he could never have asked about Hunter Biden, you know, 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.520 in a quid pro quo way. He could never asked 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.600 about Joe Biden and what was going on there, and 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:07.600 that was you know, that was something that was a problem. No, no, 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:11.840 he must ask those questions. Thanks for listening to The 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:16.080 Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:20.800 the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.080 been the whole issue has been a sham. It shouldn't 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.520 have gotten this far. The House acted improperly in passing 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.320 it on to the Senate. Why is your party dragging 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.880 this thing out? Why is this happening? Why go through 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:35.480 all this business about witnesses. Do we really need more witnesses? 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.760 It's going to add months to this thing. We should 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.359 stop this, this bogus, inflated case and get on with 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.000 business of governance. Will these people just get down to 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.879 business and leave this impeachment thing alone. It's going to 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.800 be an enormous distraction to the White House and all 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:51.800 kinds of issues that the Congress ought to be considering it. 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.520 There's a long line of the people's business. It seems 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.680 to have been put aside, and apparently it's going to 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:02.760 be put aside for weeks, if not months now. Oh wow, 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.280 so many voices in the media speaking out against what 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.440 the House did and against witnesses, and this is a distract. Oh, 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.840 that's right. Those were some of the biggest voices in 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.560 the media. A bunch of leftist Democrats, of course, a 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:19.840 bunch of smug libs. Oh, but they were referring to 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:24.320 all these different processes when a Democrat, Bill Clinton was 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:29.280 going through an impeachment. Okay, And now some of those 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.840 same voices, by the way, are very much involved in 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:35.560 this today and it's just completely a question for them 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:39.800 of whose ox is being gored. You know, this is 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:41.919 not a what's good for the goose is good for 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.119 the gander. Situation, right, this is not a standard that 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.240 is applicable to both sides. There's a Democrat standard, that 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.600 a Republican standard. And this is why the people that 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:55.879 always claim that Trump supporters use what about ism? What 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.800 about ism? Is destroying this country right now? In so 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.000 far is we have to always say, what about the 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:08.240 same standard being applied? You know, it's it's one thing 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.600 to bring up something that's a non secret or distraction. 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.640 Of course, that's a logical fallacy. If I'm talking about 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.160 what's going on with this impeachment and someone else says, well, 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.160 hold on a second, you know, what about what about 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.240 what Barack Obama did in Libya? It's like, well, that's 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:23.200 not that has nothing to do with anything right now. 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.080 But if we're talking about an impeachment of a president 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:29.240 and what the process should be and what is fair 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:33.320 for that president, what is due process in a political process, 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:39.320 which impeachment inherently is, you would think that it would 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:43.359 be an applicable standard of both sides. Right. The law 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:47.280 at its core is not really law, it's not moral 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:52.359 order if it is not applicable irrespective of who it 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:56.440 affects and what the politics of the situation may be. Right, 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.160 you establish things that are true or are not true. 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:01.840 You know, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal. 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.000 It's not thou shalt not kill unless you know, we 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.840 think that you're doing some really good policy work, and 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:11.400 then maybe we'll let it slide. People say, oh, buck, 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:13.199 but what about it about when you kill someone at 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:16.040 self defense? Right? That's a universally applicable standard. If you 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.120 kill somebody in self defense, no matter who you are, 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:22.200 what political background you have, what race, creed, or color, 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.080 any of those things, we all, as human beings have 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.600 a right to self defense. And these are universal standards. 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:29.800 This is very simple stuff, and I know it almost 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:31.439 feels like a waste of time to go through it. 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:34.040 But Democrats have been in this as though it's nothing. 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.240 They make this standard up as they go along. Oh well, 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:41.040 that's not like that. They're the party of cry baby, 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:46.080 whiney children. You know, if you tell kid and I 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:47.719 don't have kids, so I have to I have to 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.480 do this from the perspective of, you know, seeing other 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:51.960 people dealing with their kids. And I also did a 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.000 little babysitting for my silding's growing up. And if you 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.840 tell kids, okay, you know, if you want, you know, 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:02.119 if you also want to play with you Bobby's bicycle 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:04.639 or what a tricycle let's say, sounds more like a 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:06.760 kid thing. You know, if he has to share his 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:09.560 toy with you, you have to share your toys with him. 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:13.560 Democrats the party of Now, he shares his toy, I 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:19.159 don't have to share my toys. No applicable standard to 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:22.879 both sides, No principle. There's a principle involved there. They 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:24.920 don't don't have principles. They have a loss for power. 0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:29.679 That's it. That's what has been so obvious, so clear 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:33.119 in this impeachment proceeding. They just changed the rules as 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.040 they go. Does anyone really think what the House did 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:39.000 was intended to be fair to the president? No, no 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:42.280 counsel for the president, no representation the president. The Democrats 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:45.120 get to bring whatever witnesses they want. The Democrats get 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:48.480 to just have this these hearings where they put forward 0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.720 a bunch of of deep state Democrat cry babies. Oh, 0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:56.840 Trump was violating the policy. He sets the policy. Oh 0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:05.120 but I'm an expert on Ukraine. Great, this is really 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:07.160 the buck defense that has now come to the forefront 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:11.600 though in this impeachment fiasco. This is from the memorandum. 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:18.160 House Democrats. Charges rest on the false premise that there 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:22.359 could have been no legitimate purpose to ask President Zelenski 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:26.359 about Ukrainian involvement in the twenty sixteen election and the 0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:31.520 Biden Barisma affair. It was entirely appropriate for President Trump 0:23:31.600 --> 0:23:34.880 to ask about possible Ukrainian interference in the twenty sixteen election. 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:39.400 It would have been appropriate for President Trump to ask 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:45.399 President Zelenski about the Biden Burisma affair. The only reason 0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:47.479 that the only reason for raising them would have been 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:51.320 to obtain an improper personal political benefit is obviously false. 0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:56.160 Even if the president president had raised those issues, there 0:23:56.160 --> 0:24:00.960 were legitimate reasons to do so. Bam, who's been saying 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:04.919 this all along? Every just stopped with Oh, but he 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:08.240 wasn't really and he was just general corruption. No, Hey, 0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:10.600 did the Bidens do some sketchy stuff? Find out for me, 0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:12.760 you know, ask your guy. Let me know what he's 0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:15.080 not allowed to ask that? What if the Bidens did 0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.200 do some sketchy stuff? Ah, This is where the media 0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:23.760 apparatus leaps in discredited, debunked, conspiracy theory, says who how, 0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:26.600 I don't know. They just jump right to it, though 0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:30.880 the propaganda effect keep repeating it. Debunked, discredited conspiracy, debunked, 0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:38.960
