1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to another Box Sexton Show episode special one,

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: because we have with us John Cardillo, formerly of the

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: NYPD conservative commentator Man about Town and if you read

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: the Daily Beast unlicensed International arms Dealer, which is still

5
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: the coolest thing that any of my friends have been

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: called in print up to this point. John, I just

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: want to say it's it's an honor, and not just

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: because apparently you're going to be playing the Nicholas Cage

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: role and Lord of War two. Yeah, I thought it was.

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: I wish it was true. It's such a cool description.

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it's your date. You know, it's bogus. I'm not

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: as cool as that. I wish I was. Yeah, you

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: just got sometimes you just got lean in yours roll.

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: It'd be like, oh, apparently you know I can I

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: can I get you a whole box of T ninety tanks?

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, can either firm or deny you know

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: how you know how we do it? John? Yeah, I

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: mean you can't say I can't. I don't know. So

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: I want to start with this one. Um, you're a guy,

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: you voted for Trump twice. You were, if anything, somebody

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: who uh in your in your very John Cardillo. Way,

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: we're on Twitter throwing punches in favor of Trump with

23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: all of your might for all four years of his presidency,

24
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: just in case. And John's Twitter is spicy, not necessarily,

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: not necessarily for the for the workplace, but his his

26
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: Twitter family friendly, not necessarily family friendly Twitter. But but

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: he he calls it like he sees it. Um. Trump

28
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: has had a rough few months. He's running, He's had

29
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: a tough few months. I think in the messaging as

30
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: I speak to you, he's just done this trip out

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: to East Palastine. Yeah, is is he getting more on track?

32
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: What is your assessment as a as a true blue

33
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Trump supporter of the past and somebody who wants the

34
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: best for Trump and the GOP. Now, how's he doing? Well? Look,

35
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, Buck, I was a vehement to all these

36
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: our vehement, a vehement Trump supporter. I mean, like you say,

37
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: you know, trading punches. It happened to you, happened to

38
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: many of us. We lost friends over this, We lost

39
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: business associates in the media who are a bit more moderate,

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: maybe moving center left even center right people at the time,

41
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: where a lot of them were never Trumpers, right, if

42
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: you remember that they had their conservative purity tests, and

43
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: we lost relationships, some permanently, some for many years. And

44
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: unfortunately those are healed. But what wound up? And I

45
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: don't want to say turning me off to returning me

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: against Trump, because I think he did incredible things for

47
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: the United States. Look, let me say that the good first.

48
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 1: I think Donald Trump is one of the most patriotic

49
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: people ever to hold the office. I think he truly

50
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: loves America. He gained great success in America, and the

51
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: trip to East Palestine was I thought exceptional. I thought

52
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: it's exactly what those people needed. I mean, could you

53
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: imagine your water supply having iridescent looked like oil slicks

54
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: on top of it. You don't know if your children

55
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: are gonna come down with terminal diseases. And the sitting

56
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: president of the United States, the incapacitated vegetable in chief,

57
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: is over there in Ukraine. Worried more about Ukraine than

58
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: your kids in Ohio. So Trump's trip I thought was

59
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: a win. It was incredibly heartfelt. He know a few

60
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: people that have ever sat in the Oval office have

61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: emotionally connected with the American people like Donald Trump. I mean,

62
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: I'll get flamed by the right for saying this, But

63
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: I think to his base Barack Obama did, Ronald Reagan

64
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: did in many respects, but Trump really had an emotional connection.

65
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: That's all the good. I don't want to see him

66
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: as president again. I don't want to see him as

67
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: the nominee because I don't think he can win. I

68
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: don't believe mathematically he has a path to seventy. I

69
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: traveled the country quite a bit. I think he's lost independence,

70
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: non party affiliated suburban women. I wish he would just

71
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: stay on the outside as a kinmaker. My number one that,

72
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: my number one reason for moving off Trump is that

73
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: as good as he was on so many things, his

74
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: personnel acumen was abysmal. And as far as I'm concerned,

75
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: whether it be business or politics, personnel, his policy, and

76
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: his personnel decisions hiring Christopher Ray, abdicating his presidency afterwardly

77
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: only half a term. To Fauci, That's why he's a

78
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: one term was a one term president. Is a one

79
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: term president. Christopher Ray. Sure, but I mean I'm a

80
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: Rosa Scaramucci. You know, Michael Cohen, Right, I'm pulled in

81
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: two of the big names out. But exactly you and

82
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: I could do an entire one hour on those names

83
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: and what the problems were exactly. I have never seen

84
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: a white house before where so many people begged their

85
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: way in and then cashed in all after they left

86
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: or on their way out, by turning on the person

87
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: who gave them that big break, that role that quite honestly,

88
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: in many cases those people but through no objective measure,

89
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: could be considered to have earned through professional ability or

90
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: anything else. It was. It was amazing as a as

91
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: the circumstance played out so many times through the Trump ammunition.

92
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: You notice he doesn't I haven't heard him say I

93
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: hired the best people anymore. That that's not something I've heard,

94
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: It's not something i've heard in a long time, because

95
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: I think that that's that's become a bit of a weakness.

96
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: And even among his base right now, we're talking within

97
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: the family, which I think is you know, forget about

98
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: the left and everything else. I just mean even people

99
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: who are on the right. Who I mean, I was

100
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: a two time Trump voter. I bore the hatred of

101
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: CNN when I was still a contributor there for being

102
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: a Trump supporter there basically got benched after a while

103
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: because I was just like, yeah, of course Trump, what's

104
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: wrong with you lunatics? But anyway, um, how is the

105
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: campaign being run? Like? Who's actually you actually understand it

106
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: and know the people who are moving the machinery? Who

107
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: is the Trump campaign other than Trump himself as far

108
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: as we know right now. While Susie Wiles, who is

109
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: this campaign manager last time around, she's his current chief

110
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: of staff, She's still very much in a position of

111
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: major influence, if not the most influential outside of family members.

112
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: Billie bars Epstein is on the campaign as well. Those

113
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: are the big names that are really calling the shots.

114
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: I think news item that Jason Miller, who was one

115
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: of his commons people in sixteen, he's back over there.

116
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of replication from the sixteen campaign

117
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: in the twenty campaign. But I think one of his

118
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: biggest problems is his messaging. He's still using the twenty

119
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: sixteen playbook, and what worked in twenty sixteen is not

120
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: going to work in twenty twenty four. It's not going

121
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: to work in a post lockdown, post COVID society because

122
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: Trump is out there still saying the vaccines were a

123
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: great idea. I saved one hundred million lives. Now, where

124
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: were you stand on the vaccine. I've been very vocally

125
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: anti that vaccine. His base is viciously anti that vaccine,

126
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: and he seems to be a bit tone deaf to them,

127
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: and so I think from a campaign standpoint, it seems

128
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: to be in a bit of disarray. You know, one

129
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: of the other reasons is really no fault to Trump's.

130
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: But you know this, we talked to a lot of

131
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: the same people offline. The DOJ made life such hell

132
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: for everyone around Trump that it's very difficult for him

133
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: to hire top tier people. It's even difficult for him

134
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: at this point point to hire top tier attorneys because

135
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: the big white chow law firms won't bring them in.

136
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: They won't offer them those very lucrative partnerships if they

137
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: have Trump on their resume. The same for the consulting

138
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: firms and the lobbying firms. So he's having a real

139
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: hard time I think getting that top talent for the

140
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: infrastructure you need to run the successful campaign he ran

141
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: in sixteen. But most importantly, if I have to point

142
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: to one person that I think was his most recent

143
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: horrible personnel decision, and he'll lead to not just problems

144
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: for him and for the Republican Party. It's ron Romney McDaniel,

145
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: the g NC, the RNC chairwoman. This is a woman

146
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: that Trump found him sixteen. He wholeheartedly endorsed her in

147
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: twenty and unfortunately this time around, when it was between

148
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: her and his own lawyer, harn Meet Dylan, was far

149
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: more conservative, far more hardcore. Trump pet Susie Wiles and

150
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: others out there and it became very public whipping votes

151
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: to keep Rona McDaniel in power. The same woman that

152
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: did nothing. It did nothing to vote integrity. Give me

153
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: the why Trump support Rona McDaniel, because what I'm told

154
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: from people close to him is she gave him whatever

155
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: he wanted. She didn't use the money she raised to

156
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: go fight for election integrity, or to beat back the attacks,

157
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: or to hire lawyers to help him with DJ But

158
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: she kissed his ass quite frankly, a crude way to

159
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: say it, but it's true. She tells him he's the

160
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: greatest thing since sliced bread. He loves that and those

161
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: little things he needs the endorsement of this candidate or

162
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: money to this candidate. She would do for him when

163
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: he asked, so he wasn't asking for the big stuff.

164
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: He didn't know to tell her put lawyers on the

165
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: field six months before election day to get in front

166
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: of a voter integrity issues or let's ballot harvest where legal? Rona,

167
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: why aren't you spending the money for armies of volunteers

168
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: to ballot harvest? So the stuff he was asking for,

169
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: she was able to give him. Right, she did it

170
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: for him, and then she would go give him all

171
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: the accolades he loves, and he wanted her back. He

172
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: was comfortable with her. I guess now again that's from

173
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: people very close to him who were incredibly frustrated with

174
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: his support for her. Behind the scenes, I want to

175
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: ask you about Rona Sentis and also about Kevin McCarthy

176
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: John in just a second, But a word from our sponsor. First,

177
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: if you're a Team Mobile subscriber, they're investigating a data

178
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: breach that exposed a sensitive personal information of thirty seven

179
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: million customers right after New Year. Cyber Hackers grabbed data

180
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: without notice. Could include customer emails, billing address, his phone numbers,

181
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: and then cyber criminals can use information to create online

182
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: identity theft. It happens people all the time. And what

183
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: are you going to do about it, well, you need LifeLock,

184
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: that's for sure. LifeLock online identity theft help helps protect

203
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: McDaniel Romney. I wanted to start with with Kevin McCarthy

204
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: because there was obviously that simultaneous fight over R and

205
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: C chair and speaker's chair, right, those were two things

206
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: that you know, got the conservative bass's attention for a

207
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: few weeks. Kevin McCarthy looks like he's come out swinging

208
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: and listen to the folks. To me, is that your

209
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: sense of it is that where he's going? Yeah, it

210
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: really is. You know, a few people were more brutal

211
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: to Kevin than I was. And I had some people

212
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: even close to him reach out to me and say, hey,

213
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: you're you're kind of off based on this, and I said, well,

214
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm not. I look at actions, not words. And they said,

215
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: he's getting it. He's listening, he's getting it, and he's

216
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: listening to the right advisors. He actually understood the personnel,

217
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: his policy problems. He put the right people around him.

218
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: He started listening people like Marjorie Taylor Green and some

219
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: other behind the scenes folks who are very conservative people

220
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: are aligned with you and I ideologically and some of

221
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: our friends. And I've been really impressed by what I've

222
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: been seeing from Kevin McCarthy, it has exceeded every expectations

223
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: that I've been very publicly complimentary of him and supportive

224
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: of them for doing that. And you know, Buck, I'm

225
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: a pragmatist, right and I think you are, and I

226
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: think a lot of people we know you know, full disclosure,

227
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: we're good personal friends as well. We have a lot

228
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: of mutual friends, and we're all people who work in

229
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: media politics to a very large degree. But we're also pragmatist.

230
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: If I can get a politician, it's going to give

231
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: me eighty percent of what a seventy percent of what

232
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: I want, But eighty percent is pretty good. I'm gonna

233
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: be okay because I know there's no one hundred percent

234
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: right even NASA doesn't have zero tolerance, zero failure. And

235
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at Kevin McCarthy right now and out

236
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: of the gate. This guy's been given me eighty five

237
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: ninety percent of what I want. I'll take that all

238
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: day long. And if he continues down that road, he's

239
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: going to continue to have my support. And I think

240
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: a big, big amount of credit goes to guys like

241
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: Chip Roy in the Freedom Caucus who held his feet

242
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: to the fire to make certain deals. They did a

243
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: great job. McCarthy's honoring those by the way, Chip Roy,

244
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: I want to single him out because I was told

245
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: by people close to that process he is the only

246
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: member who asked for nothing for himself. And when he

247
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: was asked do you want the big office? Do you

248
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: want the leadership? He said doing this for America. I'll paraphrase,

249
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: but I'm doing it for America. This isn't about me.

250
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: I want nothing for myself, and I think people need

251
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: to know that that deserves nothing, nothing but praise. But

252
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: like I said, I'll continue to support McCarthy if he

253
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: continues to go down this road. Yeah, I've been seeing

254
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: McCarthy do things that looks like a the wake up call,

255
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: if you will, has woken him up. It feels like

256
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: he's actually he's actually gotten the messages at some level

257
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: of what his role should be given where the GOP

258
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: is right now and the fights the fights ahead. So

259
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: you and I are Florida residents. Rohn de Santists is

260
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: our governor. Rohn de Santists just won a massive landslide

261
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: victory for a re election for a governor and everyone now,

262
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: I think fully assuming that he will announce for president?

263
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: How do you assess his strengths and weaknesses? Look as

264
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: a governor, I'll just say it. I think I can

265
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: speak for both of us. He's an A plus governor.

266
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's the best governor, the best

267
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: governor in the country. You know, I don't think anybody

268
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: who has been through the De Santists transformation of Florida

269
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: and you know, is saying really disagrees with that. But president,

270
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, the presidency is different. Obviously running for national

271
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: office is different. So how do you assess strengths and

272
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: weaknesses of Ronda Santists? Great governor, but assuming he's a

273
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: presidential candidate, how does it line up? Well, I think

274
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: one of the things that I'll go a little one

275
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: negative first, I think De Santist definitely is going to

276
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: need to hone his debate skills a bit. Nan he's

277
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: aware of that. I think he was. He was good

278
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: against Charlie Crisp. But I think in a presidential debate

279
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: with it's gonna be a very big field. I think

280
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna probably see a repeat of twenty sixteen, you know,

281
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: maybe fifth sixteen seventeen primary candidates. Many of these people

282
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: are professional campaigners. They don't really win. They campaign and

283
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: they debate and they're very good at it. The Santis

284
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: a duer. There's a doer. This is a guy. I

285
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: said this said the other day on Twitter. I've been

286
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: saying it. The contrast with him in Trump is Trump

287
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: gets up to the podium and tells you what I'm

288
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: gonna do, what he's gonna do. I'll do this, I'm

289
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: gonna do that, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that.

290
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: The Santis gets up to the podium, holds up something

291
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: he signed and said, I just did this this morning

292
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: or yesterday. And so he's a doer. So I think

293
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: the one place he could tighten up is the debate skills,

294
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: which is very doable and that's something you can practice.

295
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: But in terms of performance, I mean wow. And people

296
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: sit there and accuse me night and day on Twitter

297
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: of being paid. And I want to say it here

298
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: by the Santis, I have never and would never take

299
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: a penny from Ronda Santis any of his official state entities,

300
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: campaign entities, or affiliated entities, pacts, et cetera. I don't

301
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: make a dime a penny from them. My support for

302
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: him is organic because of what you said. I live

303
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: in Florida. My family is still in New York. I

304
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: just see how fortunate we are. I mean, Buck, look

305
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: at the two of us, where ten we're relaxed. I'm

306
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: in my mid eighties, you're in your late seventies, and

307
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: we look like kids. Because we're Florida residents. We look amazing.

308
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: That's a good points aside. It's a great place to live,

309
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: but it's a great place to do business. We have

310
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: things here like Enterprise Florida, which is a really a

311
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: Florida's Department of Commerce, which offers big incentives for manufacturing

312
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: blue collar jobs to come down to Florida. Things you

313
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: don't even hear about because the programs are so successful.

314
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: The migration here is becoming so rapid and such a

315
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: critical mask that the state of Florida doesn't even need

316
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: to market these things. And that's a testament to the

317
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: success of the guy in the Governor's mansion in Tallahassee.

318
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: I mean, every day it just seems like there's a

319
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: new win. Right, we're finding out we're gonna get constitutional

320
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: carry was the new one today. It advanced in the Senate.

321
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: It's like every day the agenda is winning a little

322
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: bit more, you know. Or was that MSNBC host who

323
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: said the problem that Rohn de Santis is going to

324
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: run up against is that people think that Florida is

325
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: just meth and alligators. I don't think the eight hundred

326
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: thousand was the number that I saw most recently. People

327
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: who have moved to the state of Florida since the

328
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: pandemic think that it's just alligators and meth. Although there

329
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: was that terrible story about an elderly woman who was

330
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: grabbed by a gator, which is rare. You know, she

331
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: was defending trying to defend her dog and the dog

332
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: and the dog survived. She got taken underwater. Just a reminder,

333
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, I had I had an uncle who was

334
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: Savannah p D. Savannah Police Department, and they get gators

335
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: there too. One thing he used to tell me, John,

336
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: is those that they you see them usually when you

337
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: do see them there, they look almost like they're you know,

338
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: kind of laid back. Then I appeared Dow. Yeah. He says,

339
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: they can come out of the water like a bullet basically,

340
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: and and they and they know when you're not looking,

341
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: and that's where they come for you. And then beyond that,

342
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: they're actually faster. Since we're two Florida guys sitting you're

343
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: talking about this, they're actually faster than people would think

344
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: on land over a short distance, like you don't want

345
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: one of them to come after you, even over twenty

346
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty feet. You know they've been tracted like

347
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: over thirty miles an hour on those short distances. Look,

348
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm out in the I kayak out there, I do

349
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: some backcountry fishing, and I take my horses out through

350
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: those trails back there. It's exactly what you're told. These

351
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: things are docile. They look like rocks that aren't going

352
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: to move until you watch them go for a kilt.

353
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: There might be a raccoon on the bank, or a

354
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: bird or a fish. They are lightning fast. You can't

355
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: even see them move. And and uh side note, the

356
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: buddy of mine is a debbie that was up in

357
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: Saint Lucy County or that poor woman was killed. It

358
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: was standing in the exact same spot on that bank

359
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: the night before in the dark. He's called me, he said,

360
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: I was standing right there. They got a call for

361
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: a criminal trustpass potential. They didn't find anybody. They were

362
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: walking around that lake with their flashlights in the exact

363
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: spot that gator jumped out grabbed that woman. And that

364
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: was a big gator that was ten eleven feet. I mean,

365
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: they can do tremendous they'll bring down a large animal.

366
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: So you know, an eighty five year old woman, she

367
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: really didn't stand a chance. It was really tragic. But

368
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: but to your point, that's right, real quick, I don't

369
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: want to interrupt it. But to your point, I can't

370
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: disclose this because I was told this in confidence by

371
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: some people who deal with the entities in the state

372
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: that move businesses to Florida. If people thin Florida's method alligators,

373
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: they are going to be shocked in a very pleasant way.

374
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: With some of the megabrands, the iconic companies trying to

375
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: negotiate moves to Florida for massive trunches of employees. This

376
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: is now. The state is a global powerhouse with international cities.

377
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: Miami Fort Lauderdale's booming. The Pond Beach area has become

378
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: a political hub. They are sorely mistaken the state. The

379
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: state is a country unto itself. At one point one

380
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: trillion dollars GDP at twenty four billion dollar budget, surplus

381
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: twenty two and a half million residents in growing. It's

382
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: the size of four or five Balkans nat and it's

383
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 1: GDP is about twenty times that many of the Balkans nations.

384
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: And so you're looking at a nation onto itself here,

385
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: not a state they're gonna be. That's a pretty naive assessment,

386
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, Um, I mean, look, you know we do.

387
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: There are people here in flip flops. You do see

388
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: some Neon tank tops, you know, I mean there's some

389
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: of the floor stuffy where you go, h is there?

390
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: So that's part of the charm. You know, I'm gonna

391
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: start wearing the sunglasses that have the little thing that

392
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: connects behind your head. Yeah. That that's that's that's a

393
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: good way to go. We're gonna come back to actually

394
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: the Red state Blue state separation because I want to

395
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: talk to John about about the crime factor. Here's a

396
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: former nypde guy and has always astute observations on that.

397
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second. I want you

435
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: the time, you're sleeping on it, you're walking around in it,

436
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: all right. So the crime issue, because Florida also this

437
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: this plays in because one thing you could you would

438
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: have noticed for a while now is anytime you look

439
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: at the crime data on cities and it has been

440
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: just awful. Um and it varies. There's variations on this.

441
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: Right in San Francisco, people say Oh, it's not that bad.

442
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: The violent crimes not that bad, but the property crime

443
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: is third world, third world hellhole level. Right. Other places.

444
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: You go to New Orleans, you go to Saint Louis, Baltimore.

445
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: You know, the violent crime rate is way higher than

446
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: it was in a few years ago. Florida cities have

447
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: had this happened. Well, I mean they really haven't. You know.

448
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: De Sante's is saying Florida as a state is at

449
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: its lowest statewide crime rate in fifty years. And this

450
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: is something that I think. I think if you're looking

451
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: for ways to get it independence in some of these

452
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: purple states, I think John they recognize that safety is

453
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: the thing that you either are on board with or

454
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: you're not. You know, public safety, you either get it

455
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: or you don't. That's right. You know, Florida culturally, even

456
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: Florida Democrats have been pro police. You don't see one

457
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: one of the things you don't see in Florida, where

458
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: we're the most populous state in America. You don't see

459
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: BLM riots. You know, Black Lives Matter doesn't riot in Florida.

460
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: Antifa doesn't riot in Florida. Because even your Democrats, if

461
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: I lived in Fort Lauderdale. In the city of Fort Lauderdale,

462
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: half a mile in the downtown drag, we have one

463
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: of the most liberal mayors in America, guy named Dean

464
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: Trent Hollis. But you know what, he's not liberal on crime.

465
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: In his police department, we have a Democrat eff But

466
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: you know what, the Broward Sheriff's office isn't far left

467
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: on enforcement of crime. And you see this across the board.

468
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: You see them the city of Miami, you see in Miami,

469
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: Gade County, you see them Palm Beach, even Orange County,

470
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: the Orlando area, which is which is really far left.

471
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: Valdeming's an impeachment manager. Her husband is a mayor up there.

472
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: They still let their cops and their sheriffs do their jobs,

473
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: and when they're right, they backed them. And I'm an

474
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: advocate that when your cops are right, back them. If

475
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: you have corrupt or brutal police officers, arrest them, put

476
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: them in handcuffs. Any cop will tell you that. But

477
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: in Florida, the sheriff's back up their deputies, and the

478
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: police chiefs back up their cops. They let them do

479
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: their jobs. And we just don't have these problems. And

480
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: the important thing to notebook is many of Florida's police departments.

481
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: One of the reasons that the Santus was on this

482
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: police recruitment tour or understaffed by the City of Miami.

483
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: P D has always been at below a minimum staffing levels,

484
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: but they manage to make it work wide because they

485
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: have mayors and county officials and city officials that'll back

486
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: them up when they do their jobs properly, and the

487
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: stand that when you're short staff sometimes you do it.

488
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: They use a level of force that is legal and justifiable,

489
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: and it might not look nice, but bad guys don't

490
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: want to be arrested peacefully. They fight back. There's no

491
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction of policing down here. That trickles down

492
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: because the bad guys know that, and they know they're

493
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: not going to be able to hire a ben Crump

494
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: over nonsense. It's going to come in and threaten to

495
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: sue the city for one hundred million dollars because the

496
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: police did their job properly. Those cries of races that

497
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: doesn't fly in Florida, even in cities that are predominantly black,

498
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: with black police chiefs and predominantly black departments there's still

499
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: this dividing line where law and order stands. And I

500
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: think that when you combine that with the fact that

501
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: it's very easy to get a weapon licensed to characon

502
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: zil weapon here. We have stand your ground laws here,

503
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: we have castle doctrine laws here that favor the individual

504
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: to an outstanding degree. We're gonna about to have constitutional carry,

505
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: permitless carry. The bad guys know there are better places

506
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: to victimize people than Florida. What is your everyday carry? John?

507
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: For the folks at home that they want to know,

508
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: what is the international arms dealer extraordinaires? What's his everyday guy?

509
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: I've got a few I uh typically carry these days,

510
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: a sigh three sixty five x macro which is a

511
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,239
Speaker 1: little larger but on warm days, this one my sig there.

512
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: Can you see that? Is that in the count? And

513
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: then another one that I just absolutely love, the glock

514
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: forty three X great, great, outstanding weapon. And then I

515
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: by my bedside, I have a special uh little treat buck.

516
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: It's a silenced Daniel Defense three hundred blackout. Wow. Look

517
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: at that, you know very will be happy to know

518
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: as a as a Florida resident, John, I am picking

519
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: up that's about. That's a beautiful Daniel Defense. I'm picking

520
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: up my DD four from Daniel Defense tomorrow along with

521
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: the staccato that they just convinced me to buy when

522
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: I was in there the last time. So I was like, yeah,

523
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: to get a staccato, you know, it's a little pricey.

524
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm waiting on my staccato there. I don't understand what

525
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: staccato puts into that recoil spring, but it's magic and

526
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: wizardry because the damn thing has no recoil. It's like

527
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: shooting at twenty two. It is the most well engineered

528
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: handgun I've ever fired in my life. It's it's amazing. Also,

529
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: you wouldn't expect, you know, because Barretta is the oldest

530
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: privately held company still in still an operation in the world.

531
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: I think it goes back to sixteen nineteen. Does that

532
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: sound yeah? Yeah? Or six No, not sixteen ninety, sixteen twenty.

533
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: I think I'm sixteen fourteen. It is around, you know,

534
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: the sixteen nineteen is you know, sixteen sixteen nineteen project

535
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: in there. I'm purposed in. I gotta I gotta find

536
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: out when the founding of Baretta was. I don't know

537
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: why that. I think it was maybe sixteen, sixteen, fourteen anyway,

538
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: seven it's seventeenth century. Um somewhere somewhere along there, the

539
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: founding founding of barretta um. But uh, Staccato is based

540
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: in Texas. You know, you hear Baretta, you think, oh,

541
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: it's an Italian, you know, gun maker. It makes very

542
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: very fancy shotguns. Staccato is a Texas based handgun maker.

543
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: And I guess there were tournament guns that now people

544
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 1: have just realized my brother got one. I've been shooting

545
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: in and I just go, oh wow, it's it's amazing. Yeah,

546
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: they used to be they used to be branded as

547
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: STI and then they did re engineering. They made they

548
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: took the line from forty five ACP down to nine millimeter.

549
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: They re engineered them into these spectacular weapons. They are

550
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: today rebranded a Staccato. I'm just a big fan. I'm

551
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: waiting on I'm on a waiting list for the new cs.

552
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: They're they're compact. It is just an outstanding Bretta. I was.

553
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: I was actually a bit off. Fifteen twenty six was

554
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: when Bretto was founded. Fifteen Yeah, I shoot a lot

555
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: of clays Baretta. I have a Bretta DT eleven. It

556
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: is to me the best competition shotgun on the I

557
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: even got the century. I even got the century wrong. Yeah,

558
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: that's going way way back. Um so uh, John, I

559
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: mean to look at what's going on in New York.

560
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: You just had Mayor Adams getting a little, a little flustered.

561
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: I think with the recent visit of Ron de Santis

562
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: where he's doing this. I love that he went to

563
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: Staten Island, by the way, I love that he goes

564
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: to Staten Island. Um yeah, um, he goes to Staten

565
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: Island because he knows that, you know, there's gonna be

566
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: a lot of love at Staten Island, and you know,

567
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: Adams is not really like I felt like at one

568
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: point Adams was trying to maybe think about taking over

569
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: if Biden stepped aside. I feel like that maybe has

570
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: faded because I believe Biden is running again. I don't

571
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: think there's any Democrats have any choice. There is New

572
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: York getting better though on a crime on the crime side,

573
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how many guys you still know who

574
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: are on the job there. But is Adams doing Is

575
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: he doing the work? Yeah? Many not. Adam Adams is

576
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: a mess. And you know, the sad part of this

577
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: thing is that the police commissioner, she actually prey thought

578
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: she was hired as a diversity hire or woke higher,

579
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, black woman. They brought her in. Everybody expected

580
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: that was the reason. But she came out of the

581
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: Nassa County Police Department. She was their chief of detectives.

582
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: And everybody has spoken to in the Nassau County PD,

583
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: very conservative men and women, said she was a great

584
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: They trust her, they like her, and that she's incredibly

585
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: frustrated with Adams Constant. Adams Constant caving to the radically

586
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: far left New York City Council. Left to her own devices,

587
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: she would be a very proactive police commissioner. And two

588
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: of the people who told me this were a senior

589
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: command staff in the Nassau County PD who have our politics.

590
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: These are conservative, pragmatic guys. So Adams I think got

591
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: a taste of far left money and he's a band

592
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: and all reason he's become he's a real disgrace. I mean,

593
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: I think he's as bad as the Blasio is. And

594
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: it's said that he's got a police commissioner who wants

595
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: to be proactive and effective, and let's face it, and

596
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: the world we live in, the fact that she's a

597
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: black woman doesn't hurt her political cover when the police

598
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: have to be proactive. Out that he won't let her

599
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: do her job is disgraceful. But there's something important to

600
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: point out book. One of the most effective tools we

601
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: had in our toolbox, but the NYPD was stopping frisk.

602
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: Stopping frisk was deemed illegal. Put that in quotes years

603
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 1: back by a federal judge who knew she was going

604
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: to be overturned by the Supreme Court. He named Chure Schinlin.

605
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: Just she resigned her federal judge ship. The Deblasio administration

606
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: never appealed her decision, and had they stoppin frisk would

607
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: be the law of the land in New York again,

608
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: because it was already established constitutional in Terry Vial, Ohio

609
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty four in the US Supreme Court. So

610
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: this judge handed down a decision that flew in the

611
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: face of Supreme Court precedent. He would have been overturned

612
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: summarily in a day. But no one, not de Blasio

613
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: and now Adams is challenging that decision, appealing that decision

614
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: and putting stopping frisk back in the NYPD's toolbox and

615
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: with broken windows. Rigiliani's strategy of broken windows and stopping

616
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: frisk was very simple. The best guys were in check,

617
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: murders dropped or robberies dropped. The NYPD is cheating itself

618
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: by not having that tool. Why does it work? Because

619
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: people now say the line is stopping frisk doesn't work.

620
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: People say this as though that's a that's a decided fact.

621
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean they also say walls don't work. I mean

622
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things vaccines do. The COVID vaccines,

623
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: I should say, do work. There's a lot of things

624
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: people say that don't really work, aren't really true. Why

625
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: does stopping frisk work? We'll tell you. Okay, so let

626
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: me add one thing. The other thing that was done

627
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: to the NYPD that was simply maronic if they got

628
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: rid of the plane, closed units, precinct level anti crime units,

629
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: and street crime units. So why are all those things work?

630
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: To become an officer or and subsequently detective in street

631
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: crime unit that no longer exists or anti crime units.

632
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: You want to be a really proactive street cop with

633
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: a really clean, an impressive activity report, right, So you

634
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: couldn't have excessive complaints. You They wanted to have a

635
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: lot of gun callers, gun arrests on robber arrest said

636
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: what do you have down? Now? You've got squads of

637
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: men and women with tremendous collective experience with a tool

638
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: in their toolbox that allows them to go through high

639
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: crime areas. Say an area has a condition of armed

640
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: robberies or attempted murders or gang shootings. They know what

641
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: to look for. It they in order to look for

642
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: the bulge in the waistpan, the drooping pocket, the way

643
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: a gun might fall, the way a shotgun might be concealed,

644
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,719
Speaker 1: a sawt off down the leg of someone's pants. If

645
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: they're going to do a gang shooting or a drive by,

646
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: stop and first enable them to get out of their vehicle,

647
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: engage the person in conversation, and if if they saw

648
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: something a shape consistent with that of a firearm or

649
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: other weapon, they could conduct a pat down, not a search.

650
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: Couldn't go in the clothing in the pockets a pat down.

651
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: If that pat down revealed something consistent with a weapon,

652
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: say it was three cylinders, you can then go in

653
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: the pocket. Now if they turned out not to be ammunition,

654
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: but crack files that would be admissible. Hit though a

655
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: gun feels like a gun, and then you can obviously

656
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: go into the clothing, remove the weapon, secure the scene.

657
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: If it's a legal, licensed weapon, everybody goes on their way.

658
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: If it's not, people go to jail. It wasn't this indiscriminate.

659
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: Let's go out there, stop everybody, toss and throw them

660
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: on the ground. No, you had to notify a supervisor.

661
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: You had to fill out the form. I believe it

662
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: was the UF two for nine form going back with

663
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: a few years. For me, you had to fill that

664
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: out in triplicate. One went to your supervisor, one went

665
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: to the command, the other went to the precincts Integrity

666
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: control officer, which was typically a lieutenant who was essentially

667
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: the internal affairs resident in that command. There was tremendous oversight.

668
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: There were three levels of checks and balance to make

669
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: sure this wasn't abused. And it was a tool that

670
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: enabled the police to be proactive. So when you get

671
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: rid of those plane closes units and you get rid

672
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: of a tool like stop and frisk, you're only left

673
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: being reactive, meaning you show up after the person they

674
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 1: shot or dead, because you weren't able to go out

675
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: there to the areas you knew there were problems, focusing

676
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: on people you knew were problems and get in front

677
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: of the murder, the attempted murder, the armed robbery, the

678
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: armed rape before it happened. And that's why it works.

679
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: Have you seen some of these This is on a

680
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: much less important serious issue, but have you seen these

681
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: videos where activists try to get cops to request their

682
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: name and ID? If? This is all over the internet

683
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: now all the time, and you know you were actually

684
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 1: a guy on the job. I mean, I John knows

685
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: this because we're good buddies. But I mean I was

686
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: a sent by the CIA to do some analysis assistance

687
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: to the Intelligence Division the MYPD, But I never I

688
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: never had a badge and a gun at the m YPD,

689
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: So I didn't actually do arrests and things like that

690
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 1: you did. So what is the actual now? I understand

691
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: it can vary by jurisdiction, but I mean, if you're

692
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: in New York, what do you have to tell a

693
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: cop when he comes up to you? And because some

694
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: of these guys, I remember those one guy who's like,

695
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you anything, and the cops like, no,

696
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: I this is the this is the infraction. I mean,

697
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: I have reason to believe you've committed the fault that

698
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, you are a trespassing on private property. And

699
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: the guy's like, well, no, no, I'm not, and I'm

700
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: not telling you my name. He's like, well, now you're

701
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: getting arrested, all right, So yeah, how does it work?

702
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, so it's a good question. Right, So there's

703
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: just three levels. Right, you have a mere suspicion, reasonable suspicion,

704
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: and probable cause. Okay, mere suspicion is I'm on patrol

705
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: in a warehouse district. You're walking down the street at

706
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: three o'clock in the morning in an area where people

707
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: typically are not I really have no reason to engage

708
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: you in any way, shape or for sure. I'm going

709
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: to be a little suspicious why are you there? But

710
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: typically I'm just going to roll around the block a

711
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: couple of times and if I see, you know, a

712
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: taxi cab come pick you up. Okay, you know you

713
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: probably got lost, whatever you call the cab, the cab

714
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: come together, you uber came to get you. Reasonable suspicion

715
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: now would be you walk up to this warehouse you're

716
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: kind of pulling on the window bars, you're jeduling the

717
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: door locks. Now I'm going to go up and engage

718
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: you in conversation. What are you doing? Oh hey, I'm

719
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: John Smith. I work here. I'm an engineer. Inside I'm

720
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: a machinist. I want to see the door was open.

721
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: I left something here at work. Here's my business Carter,

722
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: here's my boss's name, call him up. Here's my life.

723
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: You know in this situation, I'm like that, Okay, the

724
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: guy probably really does work here. He's giving me the

725
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: right name of the company. Probable causes. I'm watching you

726
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: smash the window. Or somebody called nine one one and

727
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: said we own this property, or we live across the

728
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: street from this property. We know the owners, we know

729
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: everybody there. We call the owners and the employees. They

730
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: don't know this person. He's inside the chain link fence

731
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: in the lot. Now we have reasonable suspicion leading the

732
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: probable cause. So when a police officer says we think

733
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: you're criminally trespassing, typically there's some stuff behind that. There's

734
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: a nine one one call, or this person fits a

735
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: description of somebody that intelligence report said was burglarizing in

736
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: the area. There are reasons that you would tell somebody

737
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: they could possibly face arrest for that. It's not just

738
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: done in a vacuum and indiscriminate. So that's general thirty

739
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: thousand foot view of how it all works. But so

740
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: if a guy is walking around, let's say, in a

741
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: public park, and the cops come up to him and

742
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: they say, hey, hey, what's your name? What are you

743
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: doing here? In that circumstance he is, you can say,

744
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm not speaking to you right like, yeah, now if

745
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: this okay, So that's the scenario if they got no call. However,

746
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: if somebody called nine one one and said this guy

747
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: mail has found at five foot ten, dark hair and eyes,

748
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: green bubble jacket like a down jacket, blue jeans, white sneakers,

749
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: was trying to entice children into his vehicle. Now you

750
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: can hold him. Now you can try to find the

751
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: people who called nine one one with callback numbers, ask

752
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: them if they'll show up there and see if he's

753
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: the person that they were talking about. If they can

754
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: identify them, then you can detain. So see, I think

755
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: this is where I think this is where some of

756
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: these videos it gets interesting because the you know, the

757
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: activist or what I mean they're trying to debate police

758
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: officers into this. By the way, this is this whole

759
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: there's this whole culture of this, and it gets a

760
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: lot of video views and people like, oh, look at

761
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: the cops, the whole thing. Um it's by the way.

762
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes for the cops, I feel like it's almost an

763
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: advertisement because some of these cops are super polite, efficient,

764
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: know the law backwards and forwards, unshakable, you know, you know, yes, no.

765
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: But it gets a little bit that that's in a

766
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: situation when the guy just walks up and he actually

767
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: doesn't have problem. Calls you laid out. But sometimes I'll

768
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: say no, no, someone called me and they think you're

769
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: trying to break in. You know, there's a break in

770
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: call and or you know there's there's a trespass call

771
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: and I need to know who you are, and they're

772
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: just like no, And then the cops get into this, Well,

773
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to like wrestle you to the ground and

774
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: maybe tas you if you don't stop this, I'm not

775
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 1: going to allow you to detain me thing right, I mean,

776
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: that's you do get the said Sometimes that there's this

777
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: this nose people have where law enforcement says I am

778
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: going to detain you, and then people just say, no,

779
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 1: you're not. That's not a good move. Most people are normal.

780
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: I'll give the case in point personal experience. Got to

781
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: not on one calls one night for a young male

782
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: black and a young female black. He was wearing a

783
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: black jab twenty years ago, but I remember it. She

784
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: was wearing a red red They called him bubble jackets,

785
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: you know down the north face tap oh, I remember, yeah,

786
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: those are very popular black battle jacket, carrying a firearm

787
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: on his right hip, and the gun was described as

788
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: a revolver with a stainless deal finish. Pretty specific right.

789
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: They described where they were walking. So we were a

790
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: couple of blocks away. We turned the corner and no lights.

791
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: Those sirens were in playing clothes and yeah we saw them.

792
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: So I get out of the car. We I d ourselves,

793
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: said hey, can we see your hands? And the guy says,

794
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: you've got a nine one one call for a gun,

795
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: and we said yeah. He said, hey, I'm an armored

796
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: car driver, I'm on my way to work. I've got

797
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: my license. I'm allowed to have the gun too, And

798
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: from I said you are, I said, can I reach

799
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: for my licensure, no problem, pulled it out. He was licensed.

800
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: It was all legit. He was an armed car driver

801
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: going to work with his girlfriend and his story. The

802
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: exchange lasted ten seconds. We shook hands, have a great night,

803
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: be safe. That's how ninety nine point nine percent of

804
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: these go. Even when it's a mistake, these people that

805
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: want to put this on video do everything they truly

806
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: can to instigate the situation far beyond wherever need to

807
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: go in my opinion. Oh, I know, I've seen some

808
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: of them where where it's it's clear that they are

809
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: trying to bathe the officer. Occasionally you see, Look, you

810
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: also get some of these officers who are a little

811
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: bit like the airline attendance with the mask rules, you know,

812
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,919
Speaker 1: the little drunk on power you do what I say

813
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: and everything else. And those are the videos that go

814
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: super viral because that actually isn't what the law is, right,

815
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: It's not just you know, you have to stay here

816
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: because I say so, because I'm an officer. And you know,

817
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: look at my buff arms. I look tough. That doesn't

818
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 1: that's not a good look. The guy doesn't have Cardillo arms, obviously,

819
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: although you might have Cardillo you might have Cardillo tats

820
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: because John, you gotta you gotta are are these like

821
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: relatively new as as I'm talking to you. For those

822
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: who are listening and can't see, he's got like the

823
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings trilogy written on his right arm

824
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: on the inside there like it's it's it's a it's

825
00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: a not a novella for sure. When did this is? Um? Okay?

826
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: Let see how get it into the camera here everything's reversed.

827
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: This is Thomas Teddy Roosevelt Man in the Arena, truncated

828
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: of course, because it's a lot longer. I don't know

829
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: over the years, I've just been putting them together. I

830
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: don't have a number, like how many tats. By the way, tattoo,

831
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: I just came back from Bora Bora, and I like

832
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: to tell people fun fun fact. Tattoo comes from Tahiti.

833
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: That is the origin of the uh and it's a

834
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: tribal you think of Polynesian and tribal tattoos, this is

835
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: where we get the word comes from. By the way,

836
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: when you're over there, you'll see men and women, I

837
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: mean women will have well you see this everywhere now,

838
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: but women will have these really ornate tribal tattoos across

839
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: like their shoulder. Usually some of the men do. And

840
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: obviously when you get into the some of the indigenous

841
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: population of Australia and New Zealand. New Zealand, specifically the Mayori,

842
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: they have the the face face, really intrigate face tattoo.

843
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: But so so, do you have a number for how

844
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: many you have? Total? Here? What'll happen? One? Two? About

845
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: six or seven? I guess at this point I'm just

846
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: laughing because tomorrow on Twitter Buck Sexton sixteen nineteen, Advocate

847
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: announces polonization of Polynesia. You know how these people are

848
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,479
Speaker 1: going to spend this conversation because they're all lunatics. Oh yeah,

849
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, one thing I thought was so interesting about

850
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: about Bora Bora um was that there's a really positive

851
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: relationship between and this is from everyone I talked. Look,

852
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: I was on vacation, I'm not I'm not you know,

853
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: wasn't doing PhD research or something there, But just from

854
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: talking to everybody, the look you go to you go

855
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: to some countries and in some country in the Caribbean,

856
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: for example, and there's still a lot of animosity toward

857
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: the former colonial country, colonial power, or whatever it may be.

858
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: In the case of a place like French Polynesia, the

859
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: relationship between the French and the Polynesians is very strong.

860
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: They all get EU passports and they can travel freely

861
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: back and forth, and it's got the average. I did

862
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: a little research because I was curious about the average

863
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: per capita income or gdpeper capita. I should say, uh,

864
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: in this little island chain of a couple hundred islands

865
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: is like twenty two thousand US a year, which is

866
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: actually high. I mean, that's you're you're basically at I mean,

867
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: that's what you'd have in a lot of you know,

868
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: some of the Eastern European countries I think would be

869
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: maybe a little higher than that. But you know, it's

870
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: comparatively to some places in more remote parts of the world.

871
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a that's a very solid and you

872
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: just you don't get the sense that there's a real

873
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: animosity toward the former colonial authority, the French, and you

874
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: get all the nice croissants and the tasty food and

875
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: the beautiful weather. So Bora, Bora a big fan of it.

876
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Yeah. The being of the beer.

877
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: There's always been the old debate that whiskey colonies and

878
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: the wine colonies. You know, how do they how do

879
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: they fare? Right? But that's interesting because then you look

880
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: at Haiti, right, it's the exact opposite. You go down

881
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: to Polynesia, well, and you gotta wonder what, you know,

882
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: what's the cause of that was there were the trade

883
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: routes coming through Polynesian more and then just they were

884
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: building that wealth for a longer period of time. Natural disasters,

885
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that is an interesting metric. Former

886
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: British colonies, Um, you can tell always have like you

887
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: go to a whole range, a whole range of places,

888
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: but the former British colonies, they always leave behind their language,

889
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: their roads and their law. And that's just you just

890
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: have that in every place the British and whether it's

891
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: Canada or it's um, you know, name a place where

892
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: the British, you know, India, I mean, you know they're

893
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: they're left. India has like two hundred languages, but it

894
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: was obviously a lot of English speaking spoken there. Um,

895
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: the French leave behind their food. That's really what's so

896
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: that's you know, you no more a French colony. You're like,

897
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean I can get steak free. So that is

898
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: kind of exciting. Yep, yep, yeah, So that's it. What

899
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: what is the card What is the Cardillo travel destination?

900
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: That is that is either top recommendation or next on

901
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: the list. Since we're we're having some fun and talking

902
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: about the random things, you know that that is an

903
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: interesting one. I'll tell you right now. Um Sicily is

904
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 1: on my list. You We have a good mutual friend

905
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: of family with a home there, very good friends of mine,

906
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: and I was friends of yours as well, you know,

907
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: the daughter and I was with them for lunch today

908
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: and they were showing me picks of a place they're

909
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: thinking about buying there. And interestingly enough, if anybody watched

910
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: The White Lotus, they they got married in that hotel

911
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: in season two and the place they want to buy

912
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: is close by and it just looks absolutely spectacular. So
