WEBVTT - Border Shutdown: No More Games 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.600 You are entering the freedom hunt. President Trump cuts off 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.560 aid to countries in Central America that he says aren't 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:23.360 doing enough to prevent the migrant invasion from continuing. There's 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:26.319 also the possibility of shutting down our southern border. Is 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:29.680 this the answer? And what should Trump do next? That 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.400 and Moore coming up from the buck Sexton Show. Bucks 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:38.120 Sexton Remission, decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.680 Make no mistake American great, You're a great American again. 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:49.559 This is the buck Sexton Show. A former CIA analysts, OK, 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:51.599 I can speak for three hours without a phone call. 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:59.640 Try doing that sometime. S No till Mexico is tough. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.360 They can stop them, but they chose not to. Now 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.039 are they're going to stop them? And if they don't 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.400 stop them with closing the border, they'll close it and 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.600 we'll keep it close for a long time. I'm not 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:14.559 playing games. Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Trump said 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.759 he's not playing games. The border is a crisis. You've 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.959 got caravans on the way, You've got thousands and thousands 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.720 a day surrendering at the border, trying to abuse our system, 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:30.319 doing everything in their power to make sure that they 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.880 can stay in this country. I saw pregnant women showing 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.880 up some look to be third trimester pregnant last week 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.399 in El Paso. They know they're gonna have a US 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.800 citizen child. That this is a scam, folks, it's not right. 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:48.760 What's going on. These individuals are enriching the cartels. They 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.720 are posing a threat to themselves by putting them by 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.680 putting themselves in these situations, and certainly they're children aren't 0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:01.240 risk as well. They're skipping the immigration line, are completely 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:08.840 flouting our immigration laws. And it's just too much. It's wrong. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.799 It has to stop. And the president is now considering 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:18.760 some pretty dramatic measures like shutting down the border, which 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.120 I know, all the all the millennials out there, you 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:25.560 can just write the avocado toast chokes yourself. But people 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:30.560 now are very concerned because basically all avocados in the 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.799 US come from Mexico, and so if you shut down 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:38.040 the border, there's going to be a massive avocado shortage 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:43.560 that occurs. But the border can't wait anymore. This is 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:48.760 not sustainable. You can have border patrol saying that they're overwhelmed, 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.680 that they're at the breaking point, and the Democrats are 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.240 just sitting on the sidelines, really cheering this whole thing on. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:59.200 They think this is great. If nothing else, it certainly 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:03.440 makes Trump's case that he is the man for border security, 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.519 that the wall and the building of the wall is 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.440 going to be a game changer. It certainly makes that 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:12.920 more difficult. We are in the midst of an illegal 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.000 immigration tsunami, the likes of which the country has really 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:22.400 never seen before. Yes, the numbers in the early two 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.400 and the nineties were higher, although we're getting close to 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:31.120 those numbers, but those were almost entirely single male Mexican migrants, 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.320 many of whom were just coming into the US for 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:39.720 seasonal work, and who were deported rapidly. We're quickly deported 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.800 back in to Mexico. That is not what is going 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:49.120 on here. That's not what's happening. You have people that 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:54.119 are coming into the US claiming asylum, many times defensive asylums. 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.480 So you have to this is important. People say, Buck, 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.200 why are they being apprehended if they're just going to 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.880 claim asylum, Because their first move is to just try 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.640 to get into the US. In many cases they try 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.080 to many of them try to sneak in, or they 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.440 try to come in between points ports of entry, which 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.400 is not legal. That's why they're apprehended. They are arrested 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.560 because no one is allowed to just go into the 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.880 US not through a port of entry. You have to 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.440 go through a legal port of entry. But if you 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.520 do get in, guess what you're Here's then why even 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:31.120 go through the few days of processing? Why put yourself 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.920 through that? So you get two shots. You can try 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.960 to come in between the ports of entry illegally, and 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.200 you can then if you get caught, claim defensive asylum, 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.320 not showing up at a port of entry and saying, hey, 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.359 I want to claim asylum. That's the way you're supposed 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.120 to do it. But keep in mind they're also being 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.279 coached to lie about why they should get asylum. Trump 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.680 gets that this is a scam and he's got to 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.080 do something now, you know. The threat to close down 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:03.520 the border is a very contentious, but Kelly and Conway, 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.159 for example, says that it's not an idle threat. Play 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.240 fifteen certainly isn't a bluff. You can take the president seriously, 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.400 and we have never seen a surge like this. It's 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.560 coming from the Northern Triangle Company. So many of those 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.119 kids are already separated by their parents from their parents 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.360 before they even arrive here. It's Secretary Nielsen saying, we're 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:24.000 in a meltdown. We're at the breaking point. It's not 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.760 a bluff, she says. And we are at the breaking point. 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.400 And the border patrol guys that I'm seeing are like, look, 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.080 I can't this is what they're telling me last week. 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.160 Can't do my job the way I'm supposed to do it. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:39.040 I can't tell you that the cartels aren't smuggling in drugs. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.880 After there's a surrender of one hundred people in one place, 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.680 and we got to get them all through transportation, got 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.840 to get them checked out medically, got to make sure 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.640 they're okay and make sure everyone's safe. And you know, 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.560 it ties down all manpower, all resources. It's gonna be 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.280 over one hundred thousand for last for this past month 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.960 in March. They're going to publish the number in the 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.720 next week or so. You're gonna see and when you're 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.080 at over one hundred thousand, I mean that's crisis level. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:11.040 Sovereignty is a necessary component for a functioning nation state. 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.359 If you do not have sovereignty, which includes control over 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.320 who comes and goes over who is a citizen and 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.960 who is not. You don't really have a country, you 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:26.640 have something else, and we are sliding into that state 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.520 of affairs of quasi sovereignty. We have a quasi open 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.800 border right now. If you show up with a kid 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.800 and you know what to say, the border for all 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:41.560 intents and purposes is open. You will get into the country. 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.160 You will get into the country faster right now if 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.560 you show up with a child at the southern border 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.240 from a non contiguous a campy Mexican because I'll just 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.320 they will deport you back to Mexico. But from a 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:56.640 non contiguous country, So those so called Northern triangle countries Hondura, 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:01.000 sal Salvador, Guatemala, if you are from one of those countries, 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.919 or maybe even from some countries further south that there's 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.680 concerned there might be a surge of migrants making a 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:11.240 web From Venezuela, I saw two Cubans arrested wearing big 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.480 American matching American flag t shirts. They know the score, 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.080 they know what's going on. People are coming from all over. 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.960 Why put yourself through the process, Why fill out all 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.880 the paperwork and all the time and the waiting. You know, 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.720 we need to have a national conversation. I mean, there 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.120 needs to be a focus on what is happening down 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.920 at the southern border because we didn't vote for this. 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.840 This is not what the law says, this is not 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:42.280 what we voted for, and ultimately, the immigration system is 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:46.680 supposed to benefit the people here. We are not you know, 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.160 America is not a soup kitchen. We are not the 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:53.720 world's charity. We are a country. And if a country 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.160 cannot control its borders, it ceases to be a country. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.440 I mean, this is foundational stuff for a nation state. 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:06.720 And Democrats have no interest whatsoever in handling this problem 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.720 in any serious way. They keep saying we need more 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.920 resources down there, well, just to process more of the 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.679 people that are showing up, lying, claiming asylum and staying 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.800 inside the country. The really contentious part of this is 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.080 going to be Okay, we need to have more resources 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:24.080 in the immigration courts, and we need to clarify. Congress 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.760 needs to clarify who qualifies for asylum. You have to 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.280 be able to prove, not just tell a story. Prove 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.160 to a judge that you have a credible fear of 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:37.000 political persecution. Not my neighborhood is crappy, not my country 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.719 is dysfunctional, and not I want a better job. None 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.839 of those things make someone a bad person. I don't 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.800 have any animus toward people that come to America for 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.360 those reasons and abuse our process. I mean, if you 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.880 come legally, great, welcome. But if you're abusing the process 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:56.000 for those reasons, I understand why people do that, but 0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:00.880 it's not okay. They're not supposed to be entering the 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:06.480 United States. And this lawlessness is just going to get 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.880 more lawlessness. There's going to be greater calls for amnesty. 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.840 There's going to be a massive push in the demot 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.679 Just wait for it. In the twenty twenty election. Democrats 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.560 are going to run on on amnesty, and that lights 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.400 out for the Republican Party if they win and they 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.760 get that and they have enough of a majority in 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.360 the House and the Senate to pass it, and I'm 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.240 not even sure Republicans will hold the line against them 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:33.240 at that point. And if you amnesty twenty twenty five 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:37.120 million people in this country who came here illegally for 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.640 no other reason than the Democrat Party is going to 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:45.960 be the party of amnesty. It's all going to be 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:51.000 to the benefit of the Democrat party right there, they're 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.280 going to vote Democrat. I mean, if you were given 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.160 legal status by one party, you now, this is like 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.760 rent control in New York. People are single issue voters 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.079 because anyone wants to touch my run control. If you 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.559 live in New York City, it's so expensive, you know 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.559 that that's the most important thing to anyone. Well, if 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.400 you get citizenship or even just permanent legal status from 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.679 one political party, you're understandably going to be a single 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:14.520 issue voter for that party, and probably your children and 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.400 your children's children, because you're going to view that as 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.720 you know, your American story. Now, so the violation of 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.120 law will have been rewarded on a massive scale. And 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:25.680 what we are in the middle of, as I said, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:30.360 is a tsunami of illegal entry in the United States 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:34.400 under the Trump administration. I mean, if this is happening 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.600 under Trump, what do you think it's gonna be like 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:42.280 under a Warrant administration or a Batteau administration, or you 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:47.480 know whomever. These Democrats are basically all open borders. Now. 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:52.160 They do not want enforcement, They do not want laws 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.480 on the books to be treated like laws. And so 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.640 what recourse does Trump really have you know, I wrote 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.040 an article today in The Hill and I said, you know, 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.680 Congress has to act. That's true, I'm right, But I 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:07.040 know Congress isn't going to They don't want to take 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.719 a tough vote on this. And it's you know, it's 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.160 not just a question of it being a tough vote, 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.839 because there are some political ramifications. There's also social ramifications 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.840 for it. You know, there's also at some level and 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.959 understand side of this issue, people are going to look 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.920 at you differently, They're going to think of you differently. 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.120 And a lot of these politicians, you know, especially on 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.280 the right, they like to be liked, and it's not 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.199 going to make them happy. It's not going to make 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:42.280 them feel warm and fuzzy if all of a sudden 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:46.680 they are voting for something that would result in a 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:51.200 lot of legal processes and in deportation. But you see, 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.240 this is where it all breaks down. If you don't 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.679 believe that people that are led into the country claiming 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.719 asylum and don't get asylum should be deported, you do 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.240 not believe in immigration laws. So Democrats, you say, well, 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:04.840 you know, they should get their process. They should get 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.720 their process, And I say, okay. At the end, of 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.679 the process. When over ninety percent of them don't get asylum, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:15.400 what should happen they get to stay. That's an open border. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:21.120 We are accepting a massive, not just loophole, but a 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.080 massive hole in our immigration system that is not going 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.360 to be filled, that will remain open, and that makes 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.000 a mockery of the rest of our legal process at 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:35.679 the border. The border is in a state of slow collapse. 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.280 More and more people are going to come, and we 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.640 have no means right now of stopping them. The President 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.800 shutting down the border, that's an extreme measure, folks. There 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.959 will be economic ramifications of that that. That's not something 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.439 that I want to see happen. Remember that means you're 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:57.160 shutting down commerce. I mean you're preventing people from being 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.200 able to people go back and forth to work across 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.600 the southern border. People come in to go shopping. When 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.040 I was an All Passo, they told me that the 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.000 one of the outlet malls there, they asked him a 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.200 twenty million dollars of spending there over the course of 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:14.680 a year is from Mexicans who are who legally crossed 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.520 a shop there. I mean, you're gonna you're gonna hurt 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.679 a lot of businesses, and yes, you're probably gonna run 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:26.560 out of avocados. So this is a finally now a 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.560 top priority issue that's getting the attention, and I knew 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.480 it would. I mean, I've been telling you the numbers 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.640 are going to speak for themselves. That's in some way here. 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.000 I mean, over one hundred thousand in a month. Think 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.439 of how many people were talking about here who are 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.480 coming in and who are abusing this process. Then this 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:51.040 doesn't include the million legal citizens in Green Heart Green 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.600 card holders we're going to add to the American family 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.400 this year. I mean, this is in addition to all 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.960 legal immigration. This is an in addition to a half 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.400 a million visa over stays a year. I mean, you 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:05.599 look at our system and it's a complete mess. Democrats 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.480 have no will to fix it, they don't want to 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.000 fix it, and Republicans don't have the courage to fix it. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.600 So what are we left with. We're left with a 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:20.240 system that is heading toward collapse, meaning that there will 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.760 be no person who can seriously say we have immigration 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.400 laws that are enforced and that are meaningful. It's all 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:29.400 just how you can scam it. You know, it'll turn 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.960 into like the permitting process in East Germany. You know, well, 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:34.560 what do you got to do here? You know who's 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.040 palms you have to grease? Or what do you have 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:41.280 to do? The systems are jokes. What I'm saying, it's 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:46.720 becoming a joke, and Congress is to blame. Shutting down 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.800 the border I don't think fixes the problem, but at 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.400 least it gets us closer to understanding the severity of 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:57.440 the problem and tackling this with some seriousness. I have 0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.880 been sounding the alarm as loudly as I can on 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.480 I have gotten the White House to read stuff I've written. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.000 I've gotten the President to retweet stuff ever all on 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.240 the border. I was down there last week so I 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:11.960 could bring you ground truth about what is happening. And 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:13.880 this is the ground truth. We are in the midst 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:19.640 of an illegal alien tsunami, and we have no realistic 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.840 plan to stop it right now because the people in 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:27.720 charge refuse to do their jobs. The people that make 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:32.880 laws won't change and clarify existing statutes. And now the 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.520 word is really out and you're seeing it reflected in 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.960 the numbers. I've been over over one hundred thousand people. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.840 It's gonna be over one hundred thousand next month too. 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:44.360 I mean, once you get to one hundred, one hundred 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.200 and fifty, you know, one hundred and seventy five thousand. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.160 I mean, now you're just talking about it's it's just 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.040 a free for all. We are heading for free for 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:56.520 all illegal immigration territory. President Trump needs to stop this 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.280 third party Safe agreement with Mexico is one way they've 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.400 got one going. They need to expand it dramatically. We 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.880 need to move infrastructure down to the border. We need 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.720 we need more immigration courts. We need clarity with what 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:12.640 the immigration courts are going to do. We need expedited 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:18.560 We need expedited removal proceedings. People that can be quickly deported. 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.920 Countries that won't take those who need to be deported 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.160 should have their visas cut off, because that's what existing 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.400 law says. If you won't take the people we're deporting 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.040 back to you that are yours, you don't get any 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.320 more visas in the United States. We need to enforce 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:36.760 that law. We did enforce the law. In general, it's 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.200 not happening, and we are dealing with the consequences. Now. 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.600 I've got more on this and creepy Uncle Biden stuff 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.920 to talk about. We got a lot of show my friends. 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.680 I'm coming to you live from Savannah, Georgia. I love 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.080 this town, man. This is a great place. George is 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:54.840 a great state. But Savannah's Savannahs like this, you know, 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:59.040 the pretty southern belle of these coastal cities here. All right, 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.440 I gotta go to break. I'm waxing philosophical, But how 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:05.200 much ilex Savannah. I'll be right back. When the President 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.479 says he's going to close the border, that is a 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:11.359 totally unrealistic boast on his part. What we need to 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.480 do is focus on what's happening in Central America, where 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.600 three countries are dissembling before our eyes and people are 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.800 desperately coming to the United States. The president's cutting off 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.480 aid to these countries will not solve that problem. Okay, 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.480 so the president's cut off aid. But guess what. The 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.720 aid doesn't do anything for the poor folks in those countries. 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.640 The aid doesn't work. Anybody who knows anything about fourign aid, 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:37.359 especially countries like Guatemala, Honduras, and Al Salvador, knows it 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.560 doesn't work. It just helps the people in the regime, 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:42.960 usually the people in place at the top of the pyramid. 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.480 But what is Trump supposed to do so as to 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:50.240 just sort of keep paying, keep helping out these governments 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.400 when they won't do more to stop these flows. This 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.840 idea that liberals have that we're going to fix desperately 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.840 poor countries like Guatemalan, Honduras. We just need more aid, 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.080 We're going to fix them, that is completely absurd. We 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.679 have no chance of fixing Honduras, nor should we try. 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:13.000 It's not our problem. We aren't in charge, and you know, 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.000 we always forget that the moment we try to take 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.640 charge in these countries. Oh, we're imperialist and we're interfering. Fine, 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.720 let those countries do what they're gonna do. Let's not 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:25.639 pretend that it's our fault that they're so dysfunctional. You know, 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.640 go Standino Passo and look across the border at Warez. 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.760 One of them is working really well. The others got 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.639 a lot of problems. All right, it's not our fault 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:40.959 much more. Coming up, teams, stay with me. When we 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.280 look into our history. When our party was boldest at 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.320 the time of the New Deal, the Great Society, the 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:51.320 Civil Rights Act, and so on, we had and carried 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.880 supermajorities in the House in the Senate, we carried the presidency. 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.800 They had to amend the Constitution of the United States 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.560 to make sure Roosevelt did not get reelected. And we 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:07.600 you know, there were so many extraordinary things that were 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:15.040 happening in that time that were uniting working people. Nice 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.280 try AOC, but we have a fantastic runner up prize 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.480 for you. It is not the case. It is not 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.120 the case that the Constitution was ammanted to prevent FDR 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:28.560 from being elected. But does anybody on left care when 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:32.080 AOC just makes stuff up? Does anyone relie? Does it 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:37.120 bother them? You know, I've seen this after all the 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.440 fact checks of Trump right, fact check Trump has lied 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.640 fifty million times. Fact check Trump lied fifteen thousand times today. 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.400 I mean, they're just such a bunch of little whiny babies, 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.200 you know. Fact check Trump says his hotels are the best. Lie. 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.480 It's like, well, maybe they are the best, how do 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:55.280 you know? Right, It's ridiculous. They think exaggeration and hyperbole 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.240 and salesmanship need to be fact checked all the time. 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.520 That's one thing that the media does. Unless you're yo, see, 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:04.080 then you might be morally right even if you're factually wrong. 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.760 That's the way that they look. This is this is 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.879 what they do. There's a dishonesty at the at the 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.480 heart of well, at the heart of the mainstream media's 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.280 daily operations, the way the way that they conduct themselves. 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:18.800 But she was obviously wrong there. But this was the 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:20.800 one that I thought was or this is where it 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.240 starts to get even more interesting. Um, when I asked 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.960 if her plan is socialism, listen to what she said 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:31.440 over the weekend about that. Listen to her response, Play 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.720 three sounds like socialism. That sounds big. No, I'm serious, 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:39.640 Like that's a big you're talking like up, okay, all right, yes, sir, 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.359 good But but I'm saying not. Everyone applause when they 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:44.760 hear that, right, they're like, oh my goodness. Yeah, you're 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:46.880 talking about this huge mobilization. And I'm like, I don't 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.119 trust the government could pull this off. Well, you know, 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.879 here's some here's a couple of issues here. One is 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.880 that you know, if you want to bring up these 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:56.760 labels and this, that and the other and have that 0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.360 whole conversation, that's a whole other thing. But the one 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.520 thing that we can not rebuke, and the one thing 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.359 that we cannot deny is that climate change is a 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:09.159 problem of market failure and externalities in our economics. This 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:13.800 does not mean that we change our entire structure of government. 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:17.800 But what it means is that we need to do 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:25.240 something something. Yeah, and that is what the solution is about. Blather, 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:35.040 just lots of blather, meaningless, meaningless phrases strewn together. You know, 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:39.600 it reminds me of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. There's the character 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:44.920 Aldus Snow, who's played by that generally unfunny British comedian 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:49.760 who was actually pretty good and save Forgetting Sarah Marshall though, 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:52.439 and he does you know, he's a British rocker and 0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.160 he has a song who's very self indulgent and very 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.160 new age, and he's a song you know, we've got 0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:01.280 to do something, we got to do something, and it 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:04.400 just keeps in. That's pretty much what AOC is telling you. 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:08.840 We gotta do something. It's like do what what does 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:17.240 that mean? But Alexandroocazio Cortez embodies a kind of emotion 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:22.360 on the left of there's all this injustice, there's all 0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:26.680 this oppression, and if we just all run at it 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:34.800 and take this sweeping governmental action, that just throws history aside, 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.879 and you know, then we'll be able to make this 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.800 incredible progress and all this oppression and misery and sadness 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.840 will go away. And this utopianism is the failed is 0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:47.920 the failed promise that we have seen time and again 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:51.560 in the nineteenth century, the twentieth century, and out of 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:57.000 the twenty first. This is the central ideological fight of 0:22:57.160 --> 0:23:01.320 our era. Should you have the government just make massive 0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:08.040 decisions for people, all people? Because they say so? It's 0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.960 really the basis of authoritarianism too. Why should I do that? Well, 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:15.080 because force, because we make you, because we know better. 0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:18.880 And then when confronted on the stupidity of ideas, you'll 0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:22.080 see more of what you heard from miss aoc Here, who, 0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:26.640 when asked about this green New Deal proposal, she put 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.240 out that did have an accompanying frequently asked question about 0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:31.360 cal farts in playing travel that was real and they 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:34.680 pretended it wasn't. What did she do? Oh, In classic 0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:41.680 politician fashion, she decided to throw a staffer, an imaginary staffer, 0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.040 under the bus play for it had some things that 0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:47.359 people thought were ridiculous radical, like anyone that was unable 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:49.520
