1
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Nancy Pelosi's living in

2
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: an alternate universe, mid Romney's righteous turn coat vote, take

3
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: your time, Iowa, no rush, nobody's pushing for the results?

4
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 1: And what is the reason for the ugliest buildings in

5
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: the world getting built? And can we stop it? That

6
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: and more coming up. This is the buck Sexton Show,

7
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really

8
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a

9
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins. CIA analysts

10
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: had the state of the Union. As required by the

11
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: Constitution of the United States, the President is to submit

12
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: in writing or in person his statement of the State

13
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: of the Union. What happened instead was the President using

14
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: the Congress of the United States is a backdrop for

15
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: reality show presenting a state of mind that had no

16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: contact with reality whatsoever. If there's somebody that has no

17
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: contact with reality, it's pretty clear it's Nancy Pelosi. Hey,

18
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: he'll hear his press cafference today, Vling and you know

19
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: the President and the Pageman, you know, really a bunch

20
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: of blathers. Oh yeah, welcome to the buck Sexton Show.

21
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: I was so excited to talk to you. In case

22
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: you didn't know what show you were listening to, this

23
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: is in fact the Buck Sexton Show. Yeah, Speaker. Speaker

24
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Pelosi gave a press conference today in which she railed

25
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: against Presidence President Trump's State of the Union, which if

26
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: you look at the data or data if you like

27
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: to go with soft a there, you see that not

28
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: only did Republicans overwhelming you think it was excellent. I

29
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: thought it might have been the best speech of Trump's

30
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: entire presidency, certainly one of the strongest knights, one of

31
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: the strongest moments, a pinnacle of Trump's political power and

32
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: the consolidation of the Republican Party behind him so far.

33
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: But if you look at the polls, you'd see that

34
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: Independence overwhelmingly thought it was also a really good speech.

35
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: So Republicans and Independence, I think that speech was awesome,

36
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: Which means Nancy Pelosi only has one choice. She's got

37
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: a fever, and the only prescription is more crazy, and

38
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: that's what she decided to do. She gave this press

39
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: conference today in which she attacked the President of This

40
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: also is this is a personal feud. This is one

41
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: area I have to say where Trump really excels. One

42
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: of the special skills that this president has is he

43
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: forces his opponents, or he I should say he induces,

44
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: not really he forced. He induces his opponents to show

45
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: us the full extent of their duplicity, their dishonesty, their craziness.

46
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: He gets them to come out of their dug in

47
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: fighting position, so to speak, and show us who they

48
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: really are. And this has been a feature of Trump,

49
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: and Trump is him now for years and so now

50
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: as we look at what has gone on in the

51
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: last few days, Nancy Pelosi has had to take preposterous lines,

52
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: has had to say absurd things about this president because

53
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: her party is in disrepair right now, disarray, but also

54
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: it has become very personal between her and Trump. That

55
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: is increasingly the storyline that is emerging. Trump doesn't like her,

56
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: didn't shake her hand at this State of the Union.

57
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: She tore up his speech afterwards. And now you could say, oh,

58
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: this is not befitting a presidency. Well, it's also not

59
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: befitting a Speaker of the House. That you could get

60
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: into all the decorum issues. But let's just understand this.

61
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: They've been trying to destroy this president for years. They

62
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: don't just want him to lose an election, folks. They

63
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: want to send him to prison, They want to ruin

64
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: his reputation, ruin his life, ruin his family's lives if

65
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 1: they can. At what point is it just a normal

66
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: human emotion. At what point does he turn into Brett

67
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh with just a parade of lunatic liars coming forward

68
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: to destroy him, and he just lets it out that

69
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: he's mad and this is a sham and it's wrong.

70
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: When is the president allowed to feel that way? When

71
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: is the president allowed to say, you know what, I've

72
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: had enough. I'm not doing this anymore. I'm not going

73
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: to play nicey nice with Nancy Pelosi after this ridiculous

74
00:04:51,200 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: scam of an impeachment process. Enough's enough. But Pelosi recogn yes,

75
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: I think she is savvy enough to understand that the

76
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: momentum is all on President Trump's side right now, that

77
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: President Trump is in fact the one who is looking

78
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: like he will cruise to a reelection. You know, the

79
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: Drudge Report today is saying a fifty nine point nine

80
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: nine percent chance for reelection, I mean over sixty percent.

81
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: And that's before Trump has even really gotten going. That

82
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: State of the Union address was just Trump cracking his

83
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: knuckles before he really decides, Sir Walpus leaves and get

84
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: into it for his reelection. And look at the Democrats

85
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: are already running for the hills. They're they're frightened, They're

86
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what are we gonna do? And so

87
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: they're just scrambling. Special counsel didn't work. I mean, I

88
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: I've got a piece going up on the Hill dot com.

89
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: It's up on the Hill dot com. Rather that just

90
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: looks at how to understand impeachment. You have to see

91
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: this as another failed Trump removable effort, because there have

92
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: been so many of them. I mean, the two major

93
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: ones have been the Russia collusion all alive by the way,

94
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Russia collusion, Special counsel that was meant to remove Trump,

95
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: perhaps even with criminal charges. I remember at the very

96
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: end they said, oh, well, we can't even charge the president.

97
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: But that could have been a fight. They could have

98
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: said we would criminally charge him, but we didn't. You know,

99
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: he should have been criminally charged. So as you look

100
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: at what's really happened here, they've been rolling out all

101
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: these different reasons to remove the President of the United

102
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: States from office. Now, this impeachment over the Ukraine phone call.

103
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: They brought up a twenty fifth amendment, They brought up

104
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: the emolument's clause, the Stormy Daniels payoff using this disgraced lawyer,

105
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen. These are all just it's a continued effort

106
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: to prevent the one thing that terrifies Democrats more than

107
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: Trump himself, and that is a free and fair election

108
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty that allows the American people to make

109
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: the choice that they want this president to do this

110
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: for another four years. If Trump has already psychologically broken

111
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: many of the Democrats, and I think he has, what

112
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: comes up next? What is the next step? I asked that,

113
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: and it is rhetorical. I don't have an answer I

114
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: can offer up to you. Maybe they're just at full

115
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: throttle crazy and they'll just keep their foot on the

116
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: pedal and it doesn't change. I think that's the most

117
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: likely outcome. They've already got the dial on the amplifier

118
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: to eleven. It doesn't go any higher. This is spinal

119
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: tap reference for some of you who may not catch that.

120
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: But there's nothing beyond it. There's nothing more for them

121
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: to do. They've already every dirty trick, every narrative, every

122
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: lie all the things that they've tried to do, and

123
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: not only has it not worked, It's not like Trump

124
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: is limping through a presidency that he's you know, his

125
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: policies are ineffective, his vision has been stymied and wounded.

126
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: An No, that's not the case at all. Trump is

127
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: actually delivered incredibly well. I mean the Job's report that

128
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: just came out this week, it's everything is going in

129
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: the right direction. You even have on the Drudge Report

130
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: right now. And by the way, Drudge has not been

131
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: all that pro Trump recently and last I don't know,

132
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: maybe the last couple of years really, but nine according

133
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: to Gallop, ninety percent of Americans are satisfied with their lives.

134
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: This country is in a golden age right now. Other

135
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: people won't tell you this. It's just so much easier

136
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: all you know, the end is near. Oh, it's all

137
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna crash and burn. And yeah, we've got problems. Things

138
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: could change, I've got worries, I've got concerns. Bertie Sanders

139
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: wins it's gonna change a lot. But Democrats have put

140
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: themselves in a position where they feel they have no

141
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: choice but to oppose what is good and prosperous and

142
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: peaceful and happy for America. They have to pretend that's

143
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: not really happening, because how can they achieve power when

144
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: their opposition, when Donald Trump and the Republican Party are

145
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: doing a good job of governing. No, they want to

146
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: turn the whole country into Los Angeles or San Francisco,

147
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: or increasingly here in New York City, which is at

148
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: a big spike in crime. I mean, they want to

149
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 1: inflict the policies of socialism, identity politics, wokeism. They want

150
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: to inflict all of that on us, they would say,

151
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: for our own good or because it's the right thing

152
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: to do. And the only way that they can achieve

153
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: the power to do that is to pretend that what's

154
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: already being done by and large. Look, it's not perfect,

155
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: I know that, but what's already being done by the

156
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: government is pretty much on the right track, and the

157
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: government is doing well. The government is doing its job.

158
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: President Trump is succeeding. And there's no better example I

159
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: can give you of how true this is now and

160
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: how it's becoming inescapable, and now Democrats increasingly find themselves

161
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: unable to have a counter narrative. You know, this is

162
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: the common between storms, they'll come up with something. I mean,

163
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: I made a joke on Twitter. I didn't realize how

164
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: funny people would find it that. Just give it a matter,

165
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: Just give it a few days, and you'll have a

166
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: story in the New York Times about some former senior

167
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: aide to President Trump who thinks that the president has

168
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: deteriorating mental health and is not of sound mind and

169
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: should be removed. You guessed it with the twenty fifth amendment.

170
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: And then CNN will put some PhD from who knows

171
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: what university and psychology on air, will say, oh, well,

172
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: if you look at the way President Trump blinked twice

173
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: in that last speech, I mean clearly he might have

174
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: the early signs of dementia. And they'll do this. They'll

175
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: do this because their audience has been conditioned to believe

176
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: there's always an ongoing removal effort. They don't treat their

177
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: audience like adults who can recognize we lost the twenty

178
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: sixteen election. That means this guy's president for four years.

179
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: See what we can do in the next election. That's

180
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: the adult responsible approach to American politics. Democrats have completely

181
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: abandoned that as a party. They have no interest in

182
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: that it's the forever removal campaign against Trump. Remove him

183
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: now today, find a way, whatever you gotta do, get

184
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: him out of office. And not only is that destroying

185
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: the very institutions of government that they pretend to care

186
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: so much about, which we've discussed here many times. It's

187
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: very true, but it also requires the negation of how

188
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: successful Trump has been. And by the way, I don't

189
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: think it's because Trump is some super genius. I just

190
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: think he's not preconditioned. He's not brainwashed by the swamp

191
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: and by the policy approach of the elites. He doesn't

192
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: care when people say mean things about him. He just

193
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: does what a normal person would think is probably the

194
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: smart thing to do. Trump offers America a common sense

195
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: presidency term you don't hear that much anymore. It is

196
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: a common sense presidency. And for many people across the country,

197
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: including a lot of you know who listened to this show,

198
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: you knew that was what was really on offer, and

199
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: that's what we have seen, and that if that was

200
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: allowed to happen, it would work out pretty well. You know,

201
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: it's a good thing when you don't have people in

202
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: charge who believe that they can give everybody free healthcare.

203
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: No one's taxes go up, everyone's medical attention and access

204
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: will improve. And you know, we're all just going to

205
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,479
Speaker 1: be living in utopia. It's going to be you know, Xanadu,

206
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: Shangri La Nirvana, different places of extreme happiness. You already

207
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: knew that. But that's not the way the world works.

208
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: So Trump looks at the way the world actually works.

209
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: Notice how I haven't even talked about Pierre de Lecto yet.

210
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: I will get to Monsieur Pierre de Lecto, Zimos famis

211
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: turn Cult of Ziania Republic Party. We'll get there. Oh, Pierre,

212
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: We're coming for you. Pierre. We got a lot to say.

213
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: But here's the real, the real kicker for me. Pelosi

214
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: today in her press conference, because she's just trying to

215
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: buy the Democrats sometime, trying to reset the narrative in

216
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: some way. Pelosi was making the claim that this is

217
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: the Obama economy. That's when you know they're just they're

218
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: up against the ropes. Man. I mean, you know, a

219
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: couple more good shots from Trump and the Democrats are

220
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: down for the twenty twenty count. It's the Obama We're

221
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: in the fourth year of a Trump presidency, and it's

222
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: the Obama economy. Really, that's that's the story that we're

223
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: supposed to buy into. Now that Trump, who does things

224
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: consistently that Democrats hate, say is terrible, say he's going

225
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: to be bad for the economy. The economy is better

226
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: than it has arguably better than it has ever been.

227
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the country is certainly wealthier than it has

228
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: ever been. And you ask yourself, Okay, what are Democrats

229
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: going to say about this? Oh, now they're back to

230
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: what they tried for the first eighteen months when Trump's

231
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: when Trump's unemployment numbers looked really good, the stock market

232
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: was doing really well, it's Obama's It's Obama's economy. Still

233
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: he's the reason things are still going so well. Yeah.

234
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: That's a really compelling talking point, isn't it. But this

235
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: is this is what you say when you have no answer.

236
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: And that's what the Speaker of the House, the most

237
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: powerful Democrat right now in elected office in the country.

238
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: That's what she's telling the American people in response that

239
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: state of saying that it was disconnected from reality. Nancy

240
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: Pelosi's disconnected from reality. And I wonder if Nancy's waking

241
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: up with you know, with not a lot of energy

242
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: and some headaches these days, Nancy looks like she is

243
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: not up for this. If we're gonna talk about how

244
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden looks like he's not up for this, I

245
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: don't think Nancy looks like she's up for this either.

246
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just she's getting up there

247
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: or if this is a little more self inflicted, but

248
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: she looks like she could use some time off because

249
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: what she was doing today in that press conference, it

250
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: was just blather. It was actually a little embarrassing to watch.

251
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: She's not embarrassed by it, of course, because whatever she

252
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: thinks will help the Democrats. But that's where we are, folks.

253
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: Just remember that the economy is so amazing right now

254
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: that the Democrat talking point has switched and they'll have

255
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: to abandon this because they know it won't work. The

256
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: Democrat talking point has switched to, well, you can thank

257
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: Obama for this, Oh yeah, because Obama was such an

258
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: economic and free market based genius. Right, you're in the

259
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. The

260
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: presiding officer directs judgment to be entered in accordance with

261
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: the judgment of the Senate as follows. The Senate, having

262
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: tried Donald John Trump, President of the United States, upon

263
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: two articles of impatient exhibited against him by the House

264
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: of Representatives, and two thirds of the Senators present, not

265
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: having found him guilty of the charges contained therein, It

266
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: is therefore ordered and adjudged that the said Donald John

267
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: Trump be and he is hereby acquitted of the charges

268
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: in said articles acquitted. The President of the United States,

269
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: Donald John Trump, acquitted forever. That is the verdict of

270
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: the Senate. Democrats can say it's not a real acquittal,

271
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: but we can just say it's not a real impeachment either.

272
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this is childish, right, this becomes this becomes stupid,

273
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: this becomes something that's not even worth our time. But

274
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: that's where they're going to go. They're going to just

275
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: pretend that things they don't like don't exist, and the

276
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: things they do like are much more important than they are.

277
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: That's where all of this is heading now. I wanted

278
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: to focus in on this point for at first, because

279
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: Democrats have failed in this scheme once again, another scheme

280
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: to remove this president before the verdict of the American

281
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: people through a free and fair election can be heard.

282
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: But so now we have the verdict of a Senate trial.

283
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: The verdict of the Senate trial is that President Trump

284
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: is acquitted, not guilty. And there were very, very few

285
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: surprises in this Senate trial. I also first want to

286
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: say Mitch McConnell, good job. They call Mitch McConnell the

287
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: grim Reapers, as if that's going to make people think

288
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: he's less less cool. I don't know if grim Reaper

289
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: is better than cocaine Mitch, but I like both of them.

290
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell held it together, held the line. You know

291
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: what he started doing as soon as that sham Senate

292
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: trial was over, confirming more excellent constitutionalist judges. That's what

293
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell went went back to doing right away, get

294
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: that machinery rolling more and more judges so you can't

295
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: have the hashtag resistance left wing judiciary. So that's a

296
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: big win. Congrats to Mitch McConnell for not falling for

297
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: the oh just or witnesses. He learned from the Cavanaugh Debaco.

298
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: We should give credit to politicians who learn, especially when

299
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: they're on our side. But then there's Pierre de Lecto.

300
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember

301
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or

302
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. You realize this is war.

303
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump will never forgive you for us. There there's

304
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: a hymn that is a sign in my church. It's

305
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: an old Protestant hymn, which is to do what is right,

306
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: let the consequence follow. I know in my heart that

307
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing what's right. I understand there's going to be

308
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: enormous consequence, and I don't have a choice in that regard.

309
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: That's why, that's why I haven't been anxious to be

310
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: in the position I'm in. When I heard there was

311
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: going to be an impeachment investigation, as I heard the

312
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: evidence it was coming forward, I dreaded the responsibility I'd have.

313
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: But I was not willing to abvigate the responsibility given

314
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: to me by the Constitution, nor to ignore my conscience

315
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: out of personal and political significance. I mean considerations. I

316
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: mean I had to follow my conscience. Team, I'm going

317
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: to try to make you a deal. Here. We're going

318
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: to dive into Pierre de Lecto, also known as mit Romney.

319
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: We're going to dive into this now and I'm going

320
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: to hope that we don't really have to talk about

321
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: mid Romney again for the rest of this election cycle,

322
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe not even enough to talk about him

323
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: again for longer than that on this show, because he

324
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: doesn't deserve it. Let's just look at what happened here.

325
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: There was an alignment among Republicans. Mitch McConnell had his

326
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: caucus in line. Republicans knew this is an outrage. This

327
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: whole impeachment is ridiculous. Even if everything the Democrats said

328
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: was true, it's not enough to remove a president from

329
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: off It's not even close. It's a traffic ticket for

330
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 1: a president who cares. If everything they said was it

331
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: was all based on supposition, on lies, on analysis that

332
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: normal people could never believe. Oh it was going there

333
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: was no reason to investigate the Bidens lie. Oh it

334
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: would have changed the election, and Trump was demanding this,

335
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: and that's illicit lie. I wasn't going to change the election.

336
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton and her husband were running a global slush fund,

337
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: taking millions and millions of dollars from the Soudias, from

338
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: whomever he wanted to give a speech, I think in

339
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: North Korea at one point as long as the money's good,

340
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: but oh no, there was no corruption with the Clinton Foundation.

341
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: That Democrats are willing to pretend that they are total morons,

342
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: even dumber than they actually are, in order to get

343
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: away with believing things that we know they don't believe,

344
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: but presenting facts in a way that is useful to

345
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: them in the short term. So here's what Mitt Romney

346
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: has done. Mitt Romney broke ranks with Republicans. Doesn't change anything.

347
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: He voted to convict on abuse of power, not on

348
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: obstruction of Congress, which I should note at least he's

349
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: not that dumb. Because Mitt Romney's not a dumb guy,

350
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: we can't say he's not a dumb guy at all.

351
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: He obviously understands understands how to be a rapacious capitalist

352
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: and maybe destroy some companies to make himself very, very

353
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: very rich in the process. Fine. Private equity can be

354
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: a force for good and also can destroy small towns

355
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: and put a lot of people on the unemployment line.

356
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: That's the reality of it. I know a lot of

357
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: people who worked in private equity. They will tell you

358
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: that behind closed doors. Yeah, sure, sometimes it's you know,

359
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: creative destruction, and sometimes it's just destruction. But Mitt Romney

360
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: decided that his conscience dictated that he would have to

361
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: go along on the abuse of power charge and join

362
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: the insane, power mad, deranged anti Trump Democrats in the

363
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: Senate and give them the only, the only glimmer of

364
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: a silver lining that they've had all week. I mean,

365
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: Democrats have just been getting shellack right now. Trump's State

366
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: of the Union was huge. The Iowa caucuses, we'll talk

367
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: more about. Still don't know who one, still don't know.

368
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: Don't worry Iowa. It's cool, kick back, relax, come out

369
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: to the coast, have a few laughs. Iowa doesn't have

370
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: to rush right who at this point, who even cares

371
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: who wins? They they they're already talking about New Hampshire.

372
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: We'll dig into it a little bit. It looks like

373
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders probably is going to be the guy who

374
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 1: wins in the end as I go on air here,

375
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: But Buddha Judge is very close and some people said

376
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: he was the winner, and you know it's not the

377
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: winners Joe Biden. But we'll get there. We'll get there.

378
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: So why did Mitt Romney do this? Let's really let's

379
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: unpack this for a moment. It has no effect on

380
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: the president whatsoever. It doesn't do anything. So it's a

381
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: vote that's entirely for show. It's a show vote, so

382
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: mitt Romney can show vote. This was about moral preening,

383
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: because otherwise I would want to know for example, I mean,

384
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: let's really break this down. Why would mit Romney demand

385
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: that he needed more witnesses, which was what we're hearing

386
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: from him last week. Oh I need more witnesses. I

387
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: need to see more witnesses. If you're a juror in

388
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: a murder trial, which I know this is not a

389
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 1: criminal trial, which is why this whole thing. Also, at

390
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's just a political exercise.

391
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: It's entirely political, but it is in fact the definition

392
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: of political. But if you're a juror in a murder trial,

393
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: you don't say, you know, I really need to hear

394
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: from a lot more witnesses and a lot more evidence.

395
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 1: And then when you're told sorry, there are no more

396
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: witnesses at evidence, you go, oh, well, I'm totally sure

397
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 1: this person's guilty. If you're totally sure they're guilty, why

398
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: do you need more witnesses and evidence if you've already

399
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: called if you can come to that conclusion with the

400
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: evidence already presented, why would you demand to see more evidence?

401
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be I mean, you'd think this is a

402
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: pretty straightforward proposition. But Mitt Romney just wanted a lot

403
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: of attention here and he got it. And now I

404
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: see a lot of people who are either never Trumpers

405
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: or still they still cling to this this sense of highly,

406
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: highly moral and often sanctimonious personal conservatism right that this

407
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: is somehow a personal branding exercise for them. They're they're

408
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: the good ones that even if they like some of

409
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 1: Trump's policies, they think the Trump is a departure from

410
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: the morality that is necessary for one to be a

411
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: real conservative. And they're praising Mitt Romney right now and saying,

412
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't we'll get to I mean the media, of course,

413
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: is Mitt Romney's a profile and courage. He's amazing Pierre

414
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: de Lecto. Let's remember something, folks. The Pierre de Lecto

415
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: thing is not insignificant. Mit Romney, as an actual human

416
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: being whose face we know and whose name we know,

417
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: had over a million Twitter followers and was verified on Twitter.

418
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: That same guy created a sock puppet account on Twitter

419
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: so that he could without consequence to himself talk about

420
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: how great he was and take cheap shots at Trump

421
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: in the random bowels of the Twitter Internet. This guy's

422
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: worth two three million dollars, Okay, super rich. He's seventy

423
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: some odd years old. He has a huge Twitter account,

424
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: he has a huge public profile and following he creates

425
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: a sock puppet account to pump himself up and to

426
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: take cheap shots at the president. Who does that? I

427
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: really think about that from a who does that? Somebody

428
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: who is vain and petty. Now Trump is thin skinned,

429
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: and sometimes I think he gets too far deep into

430
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: it with people on personal issues, and I wish he'd

431
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: focused for him. But then again, Trump is also attacked

432
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: by more people in more ways any human being I've

433
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life, almost all of it deeply unfair.

434
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: And he's still producing for us, and he's still a fighter.

435
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: So at some point, you know, when do I have

436
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: to say thank you for sleeping under the blanket of

437
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: protection that he provides. Colonel Nathan are Jessup, United States

438
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: Marine Corps, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, you know, at what point

439
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: do we have to say thank you President Trump for

440
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: dealing with all of this crap from these lunatics, And yeah,

441
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: you're not perfect, but you're dealing with a highly imperfect situation.

442
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: You know, Trump is a wartime conservative, and yes, sometimes

443
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: there's mistakes that are going to happen. Sometimes he's gonna

444
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: go too far, but he's also fighting the battle for us.

445
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: Mid Romney's a turncoat. I mean he is. That's he

446
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: just this was his opportunity forever in his own mind,

447
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: to pull a McCain and be the one who's above politics.

448
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: You'd say, why would someone do this? Well, why would

449
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: someone be so petty and vain in the position? And

450
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: the mit Romney's in is to create a sock puppet account.

451
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, and you can go back.

452
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you want to dig into

453
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: his background in politics and the way that he flip

454
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: flops on major issues, the way that he was abortion

455
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: should be legal and safe when he was in Massachusetts.

456
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: I mean, he was practically more pro abortion than Ted

457
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: Kennedy when he was a governor. You look at the

458
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: way that he's flip flopped on all these different issues

459
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: and you start to see that maybe this guy's just

460
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: just an absolutely rank opportunist in his political life. But

461
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: I'm more interested here in the personal. So Mit Romney

462
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: was a huge opponent of Trump's in the twenty sixteen

463
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: election cycle, said that he was essentially a fraud and

464
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: a liar and wasn't a success and all this other stuff.

465
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: And you might at some point want to ask, well,

466
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: if that's the way he feels, why would Pierre delecto

467
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: bonjeu monsieur. Why would Pierre go and bend the knee

468
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: and ask Trump to make him not just some random

469
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: job in the administration secretary of state. And I see

470
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: the os pure, the OsO pure hall monitor conservatives out there,

471
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: some of them are saying, oh, because he wanted to

472
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: be in between a reckless president and his foreign policy,

473
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: and that he wanted to serve his country even under

474
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: difficult circumstances. Of Donald Trump is commander in chief. Donald

475
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: Trump is better at foreign policy than Bush or Obama.

476
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: I would argue that against anyone. I would win that

477
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: argument against anyone. He is better at this again common sense.

478
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm not. It's not that he's some genius. I don't

479
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: think that he could easily, you know, name a dozen

480
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: countries in Asia off the top of his head, like

481
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that when there

482
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: are choices, when their decisions and the executive level that

483
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: have to be made, this is a guy who gets it.

484
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: The results are what matters. And then Romney comes from

485
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: that school of where I went to Harvard and I

486
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: worked at pain and I'm so fancy and I'm so smart.

487
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: How could this guy be doing better than me? I mean,

488
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: it's deeply personal for mid Romney. It's not about fealty

489
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: to the Constitution. It's not about, oh, this is what's

490
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: required of my dignity and my honor as a member

491
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: of the Senate and as an American, all this stuff.

492
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I heard a speech yesterday. It was just pathetic.

493
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: It really was. It was pathetic. No, Mit Romney is

494
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: vengeful toward Trump because Trump represents a challenge to Mitt

495
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: Romney's sense of who he is, which is midst the

496
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: guy who leverages all the leverages, all the right institutions,

497
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: has the right resume. Mit is the elite. He is

498
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: the establishment. And you'd say, oh, buck, but Trump's abilionaire

499
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: and he's so famous for something else. Yeah, but he

500
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: won't play by elite establishment rules. He doesn't march to

501
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: their tune. He doesn't do what they say, and that's

502
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: not allowed. If anything, you can say that Trump has

503
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: turned his back on the elites that were sucking up

504
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: to him for so long because of his money and

505
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: influence that mid Romney now has to do well. This

506
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: guy was able to do what Mitt wasn't, which was

507
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: when a presidential election and implement a lot of conservative policies,

508
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: be fantastic with the judges he's put in place, preside

509
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: over a booming act. The American people are getting spoilt.

510
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: The Trump economy is so good. I mean, this is

511
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: my concern, is that we forget what it's like to

512
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: be in the midst of like a slow Obama recovery

513
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: and be told, sorry, is the best it's going to get.

514
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: Get used to it, you know, move to Sweden if

515
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: you don't like it so much. Okay. Mitt Romney will

516
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: forever be remembered for what he did yesterday. And what

517
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: he did yesterday was just show us all that we

518
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: should maintain a degree of humility in our own politics.

519
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: We should always remember that we have the capacity to

520
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: be wrong. I thought Mit Romney, based on everything that

521
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: I could see and everything that I knew in the

522
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: twenty twelve election. I thought Mitt Romney he seemed like

523
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: a good guy, a good man. He did a great

524
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: job in the first debate against President Obama, absolutely annihilated.

525
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if debates mattered and the media wasn't in

526
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: Obama's pocket, that would have moved the needle. But then,

527
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: of course, Candy Crowley physically, you know, stood in front

528
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: of and did everything possible to help Obama in that

529
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: second debate on that critical moment about Benghazi, because he

530
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: and n's an unbiased news organization, and as we know,

531
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: he lost, and he lost badly in twenty twelve. It

532
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: wasn't even close. But I thought Mitt Romney was an

533
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: honorable guy. And so in that I'm reminded that when

534
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: you don't know someone, you don't know them. And a

535
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: lot of us were, if not fooled by him, certainly misled.

536
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: But it's tough when you're evaluating someone from Afar and

537
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: you're also trying to pick them for a job, which

538
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: is all we're doing. We elect politicians, we're not electing heroes.

539
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: We elect people to let us on matters of policy,

540
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: using the mechanisms of government that are in place. We

541
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: do not put people in power and then just say, oh, wise, King,

542
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: tell us what's next. And there's a reason for that,

543
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: because we, as conservatives and as Americans. But let's start

544
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: with conservatives should always be deeply skeptical of politicians, all

545
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: of them. That's why I try to maintain some skepticism

546
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: even of Trump, despite all his incredible successes so far

547
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: in office. What am I going to be saying to

548
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: you if the market absolutely tanks, unemployment triples, Trump starts

549
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: a war, an unnecessary war where they're run, I'm going

550
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: to tell you this is It's bad, it's a disaster,

551
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: and we need to rethink a lot. I don't think

552
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: anything that's going to happen, but I'm just saying we

553
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: have to base our assessments on reality and have to

554
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: maintain a healthy skepticism of all politicians. That's what holding

555
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: them accountable would actually be. Holding accountable isn't saying everything

556
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: someone does is amazing and perfect. I mean, this is

557
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: why I tell you Republicans Trump, there's an nepotism problem here.

558
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: There is. It's one that we're going to have to

559
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: live with for a very long time politically, and it's

560
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: one that I do not like and I cannot support.

561
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: But okay, does that mean that I don't celebrate the

562
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: ninety five policy that I think is correct and that

563
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: I agree with. Of course not. It's great. We have

564
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: to maintain that honesty. You have to maintain that integrity.

565
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney's integrity is he's very much a comiist. Actually,

566
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: I think, you know, maybe you could say Comey is

567
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: a Romneyist, but I think Romney is a comiust, which

568
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: is that his entire identity is wrapped up in being

569
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: better than on him, more virtuous than more virtuous than

570
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: the others, whatever that means. I'm so deeply virtuous. Ah.

571
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: That's why he went and asked for Trump's endorsement when

572
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: he's running for Senate in Utah. That's why he bent

573
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: the knee and said, make me your secretary of State.

574
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: That's why he created some pathetic Twitter account to snipe

575
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: at people online. It was utterly bizarre. And that's why

576
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: this is a guy who changes what it means to

577
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: have principles every other day depending on what's best for

578
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney. Just like James Comey, these guys really come

579
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: and Romney should become best friends. They would get along

580
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. They both exude about the

581
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: same amount of personal warmth and charm, and they both

582
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: have shown their true colors to the country by inserting

583
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: themselves in a national drama in a way that was

584
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: all about them, while pretending that there was about everything

585
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: other than them. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is

586
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast team. I just want to

587

611
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: iHeart app. But nothing changes for this show. Thanks for

612
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe

613
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: on Apple podcast, the iHeart radio app, or wherever you

614
00:35:47,360 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. Evil. It was erupt, it was dirty cups,

615
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: it was leakers and liars, and this should never ever

616
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: happen to another president. Ever. I don't know that other

617
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: presidents would have been able to take it. Some people

618
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: said no, they wouldn't have. But I can tell you,

619
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: at a minimum, you have to focus on this because

620
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: it can get away very quickly, no matter who you

621
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: have with you, he can get away very quickly. It

622
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: was a disgrace. Had I not fired James Comey, who

623
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: was a disaster. By the way, it's possible I wouldn't

624
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: even be standing here right now. We caught him in

625
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: the act. Dirty cups, bad people. If this happened to

626
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: President Obama, a lot of people would have been in

627
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: jail for a long time already, many many years calling

628
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: out Trump. Don't be shy, not that he ever is.

629
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: He's absolutely correct here. He absolutely has the right idea.

630
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: Speak truth about the dishonesty of Democrats. Let the American

631
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: people know what you've been through. Let the American people

632
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: know that it's very clear that the Democratic Party has

633
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: been engaged in a series of soft coup attempts to

634
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: undo the twenty sixteen election. And it's getting more and

635
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: more desperate because they realize that unless something big changes,

636
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: they're heading for a whole lot of heartache in the

637
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. Two. And they can try that the

638
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: old Russia Russia, Russia playbook, But normal, well adjusted adults

639
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: will just be like, maybe Trump won because he won

640
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: because he's better at this than you guys are. President's

641
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: right to be outraged by this impeach for what asking

642
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: a foreign head of state about the Bidens. Joe Biden

643
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: is a third rate politician and a fifth rate intellectual,

644
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: and we're supposed to care so much about his wayward

645
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: idiot son getting some attention from the President of the

646
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: United States after he got over a million dollars paid

647
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: to him to be on the board of a company

648
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: we all know he never should have been on, I mean,

649
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: the Democrat media school. Why would why would anyone have

650
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: any questions about Hunter Biden, the crackhead who impregnated the stripper,

651
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: then a lot about her, refused to pay per eternity,

652
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: and currently it's just gotten remarried and maybe gonna actually

653
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: face some child supporting now because people saw him driving

654
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: around brown new Porsche. That guy. Why would anyone? Why

655
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: would anyone have any questions? I don't know, Gee, gosh crazy,

656
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: huh Hunter Bidens? This guy's squared aways. You know. Hunter

657
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: Biden's like a really sharp guy. He got the job

658
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: because he's so smart. I don't think so. I don't

659
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: think people believe that. The media though, is no one's

660
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 1: ever found any no one's ever found any wrong doing?

661
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: Oh really? Or do we do adj investigation of that?

662
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: Because there's a whole lot more smoke there than there

663
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: was about Russia Trump collusion, Star Wars, this, star War, this,

664
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: my friends, for which of these investigations have we now

665
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: found there is a greater legitimate basis? The President of

666
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: the United States and his campaign worked with the Russians

667
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: to hack into email and release them as part of

668
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: some international scheme to throw the election to the Trump campaign.

669
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: That's Russia Trump collusion. Or the son of the Vice

670
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: president of the United States is getting paid eighty thousand

671
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: dollars plus a month for a no show job to

672
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: be on the board of a company that's so corrupt

673
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. And his father was running foreign policy in

674
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: that country at the time for the United States when

675
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,479
Speaker 1: the country Ukraine desperately needed that US help and aid.

676
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, that vice president also had

677
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: a habit of telling them who to fire from the

678
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: prosecutor's office, very hands on which one of those things

679
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: is there more legitimate basis for investigation on? I'm just wondering.

680
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: We all know the answer. Oh my gosh. Trump, look

681
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: what he did. He asked a question about Hunter Biden

682
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden meddling in the election. Meddling the election.

683
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: You know who meddles an elections. Fairly Democrats. What's up, Iowa.

684
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: We'll get to it. We got some additional news about that,

685
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: but Trump also called out Pelosi for her ridiculous comments.

686
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: This mor I mean, I'm you know, the problem is

687
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: you run out of words after a while talking about

688
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: Democrats insane, unhinged, lunatic, ridiculous. I mean, these are not

689
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: normal thought processes that they are going through. This is

690
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: not what we should expect from normal, well adjusted people.

691
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: But but hold on it. Let's go to what the president.

692
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: He just spoke before before we came on, and here's

693
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: what he had to say about Pelosi's claim that the

694
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: economy right now you're four of Trump's presidency is the

695
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: Obama economy. Please play it. We've done more than any

696
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: administration in the first few years. You look at all

697
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: of the things we've done. I watched this morning as

698
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: they tried to take credit for the stock market from

699
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: think of that. Let me tell you, if we didn't win,

700
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: the stock market would have crashed. And the market was

701
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: going up a lot before the election because it was

702
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: looking like we had a good chance to win, and

703
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: then went up tremendously from the time we won the

704
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 1: election till the time we took office, which was November

705
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: eighth to January twentieth, and that's our credit. That's all

706
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: our credit. And leading up to that point was our

707
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: credit because there was hope. And one of the reasons

708
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: the stock market's gone up so much in the last

709
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: few days is people think we're doing so well. They

710
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: liked the State of the Union speech. That's right. It

711
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: was a state of the Union speech that gave a

712
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: lot of people confidence and hope. And I mean it

713
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 1: was still one of them, one of the most incredible

714
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: presidential spectacles, and it was a spectacle, but one of

715
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 1: the most impressive ones I've ever seen, and I've watched

716
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: a lot of them over the years. I've watched far

717
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: too many of them, really, and very very few of them,

718
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: as I've told you, are even a little bit memorable.

719
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: But the only the only downside of this week really

720
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: so far has been Pierre de Lecto's defection, which I

721
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: think we should count the days until he just becomes

722
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: a Democrat. More and more people who claim to be

723
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: the true conservatives. This is now, but this is the

724
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 1: end stage of the never Trump disease that the final

725
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: days of never Trump is um are you know, it's

726
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: it's it's shortness of breath and becoming a Democrat. That's

727
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: what ends up happening when you when you've reached the

728
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: terminus of Trump's arrangement syndrome. It's I'm now actually a

729
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: member of the Democratic Party. I want Democrats to win.

730
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: That's how conservative. That's how much I'm the real Republican.

731
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: Bill Crystal former or what editor in chief of the

732
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: Weekly Standard, right yep, voting for voting for Democrats, wants

733
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: Democrats to win, says he's a Democrat now. Oh that

734
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: that's how much he loves conservatism. Tom Nichols somebody that

735
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know how many you've heard of, but

736
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: runs around telling everybody what an expert is expert he is,

737
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: and how much he loves experts. I don't really know

738
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: what he thinks he has expertise in other than talking

739
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: about that. But he is also now a Democrat. You know,

740
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: you have others as well, Republicans who you know, Evan,

741
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: Evan McMuffin. He's also a Democrat now effectively, I mean

742
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: wants Democrats to win. So this is this is why

743
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: the the Pierre de Lecto position on this is so interesting.

744
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: Pierre de Lecto is somebody who is holding himself up

745
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: as a matter of principle. I mean, he's taking the

746
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: position here that he only took this vote, which, by

747
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: the way, is going to have electoral consequences. This is

748
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: not enough vote. It's nothing vote in terms of what

749
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: it does to Trump, but it might it could cost

750
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: Republicans control the Senate. My friends. You know, it's going

751
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: to put pressure on some different races on the Republican side.

752
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna relieve pressure on some Democrats. It meant that

753
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: Cinema and Mansion who were wavering could go forward, you know,

754
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 1: because if he even Romney votes for this, if even

755
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: a Republican does well, then it gives them cover. You know.

756
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: Colin said that she was voting for acquittal. Good for her,

757
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: give her credit. She had to sort of that's the

758
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: waters a little bit, but she did the right thing.

759
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: In the end. It's only Republicans that have people from

760
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: their own team who just who just bail. It's only

761
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: Republicans that we find out eventually are fakes, are frauds,

762
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: are people who cannot who should not have been trusted

763
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: in any respect ever, And That's why when I look

764
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: at what mid Romney did here, and I look at

765
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: the way that he's setting this whole thing up, Let's

766
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: be very clear, he claims to be the one that

767
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: is so honest and good. I mean, Mitt's vote is

768
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: something that was meant to be an inspiration according to Oh,

769
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: we've got some of them talking about this. Could you

770
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: play MSNBC getting all all excited about mid Romney eight

771
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: And this was a moment that people who've known Mitt

772
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: Romney for a long time have always thought he was

773
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: capable of. But we haven't always seen right. Nobody's won

774
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: big money betting on Mitt Romney to take big, bold

775
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: public stands away from his own political self interest. That's

776
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: not been something that he has done throughout the course

777
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 1: of his career. But as long as I've known him

778
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: and covered him and known his family, it thought has

779
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: been that he's just a good, decent person deep down inside.

780
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: And I had thought from the minute that the senators

781
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: took the oath, and watching the senators take the oath,

782
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: that swearing an oath before God for Mitt Romney is

783
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: like unlocking his superpower. I mean, there's no one in

784
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: that chamber who was going to take that oath more

785
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: seriously and more personally. Oh spare me, Really, that's not

786
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: the only that's not the only sound. We have so

787
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: many we could play. Here's Elizabeth Warren also acent honorable

788
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: beefcake Bit Romney is Tony. I want to get your

789
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: reaction to what Senator Romney had to say today. He's

790
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: the former governor of your state of Massachusetts. What was

791
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: it like listening to that one Republican stand up and

792
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: see this case basically the same way you do. I

793
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: thought I was listening to a decent and honorable man

794
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: who stood up and did the right thing. Oge, What

795
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: a surprise. Democrat politicians like what mid Romney did. The

796
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: media likes woodmid Romney did. He bailed the Democrats out

797
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: from having just a disaster of a week politically. So

798
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: that's the only thing that he really accomplished. And he

799
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: may end up hurting you know, you had. What was it, well,

800
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: Doug Jones, I think he was gonna he was going

801
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: to vote to convict either way. Don't forget how important

802
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 1: it is to someone like mitt Romney that the elites

803
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: respect him at least a little bit. I mean, they

804
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: never really respect him. The problem with turning on fellow

805
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: Republicans in the desperate hunt for a personal legacy and

806
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: some some just little smidgeon of approval from the media

807
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: and the Democrats is that they use you, they quickly

808
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: discard you, and then when all's said and done, they

809
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 1: still think you're awful and think you're a turncoat and

810
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: a traitor. MIT's gonna learn this. He's gonna learn this

811
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: the hard way. But right now he thinks he probably

812
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: is going to be invited to fancy university functions and

813
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 1: he's going to be somebody who's acceptable and polite society.

814
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: But the question that I would need some of these

815
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: people who are not forget about the left. I mean,

816
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: that's it's just purely transactional for them. Mit did them

817
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: a favor. So they're gonna say he's honorable and great,

818
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: and next week they're gonna go back to saying he

819
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: gives old people cancer, he pushes Graham off the cliff,

820
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: he abuses dogs, he was a bully in high school,

821
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: he puts women in binders, whatever the heck that's supposed

822
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: to mean. They're gonna go right back to that, but

823
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: for a couple of days now, because it's useful to them.

824
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: Mit Romney will be the great and honorable man. But

825
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: I would want the MIT defenders, supposedly on the right

826
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 1: to answer this for me. If MIT cares so much

827
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: about conservatism and the Constitution, American prosperity, protecting the unborn,

828
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: securing our borders, if he cares about those things, why

829
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: is it that when it really counts, he's willing to

830
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: backstab the most effective defender of all those things and

831
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: hand the lunatic Democrats socialists a win in the process.

832
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: Why how could he claim to care about those things

833
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: and do this thing? Er delecto is a very shady character.

834
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: You'll never know how he will turn out on the seeing, eh,

835
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 1: Monsieur Pierre. It tells you one seeing he does the other.

836
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: He's so honorable, so brave, except he betrays he's on side,

837
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: and then curls, he's whis girls and says malthe MIT

838
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: changes nothing other than really our opinion of MIT, and

839
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: that's never going to change. And I will say this,

840
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: Chris Wallace was right as far as Trump's concerned. It

841
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: is war. That's that's not going to change either. You're

842
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: in the freedom heart. This is the buck Sexton Show podcast.

843
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: She's playing hardball, like he does. Say, you know, when

844
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: they go low, we go lower. That's what that's the

845
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 1: only thing, that's the only thing that works with these

846
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: criminals and fascists who are running the country right now. Sorry,

847
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: but that's what works. When they go low, we go lower.

848
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,439
Speaker 1: At least she's correct. You know, when Joy Behar gets

849
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: the answer to the test, right, I'll say so, And

850
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: that is the Democrat approach. There's there's no there is

851
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: no seller, there's no basement, there's no bottom floor of

852
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: how low they were they are willing to go in

853
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: their efforts to destroy this president. And instead they offer

854
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: you the usual, the usual pretense of they're so honorable

855
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: and decent and good and Trump is such a bad

856
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: bad men, you know, the Democrats that they If you're

857
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: somebody that thought that Trump's snub of Pelosi not shaking

858
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: her hand was some egregious violation of governmental norms or

859
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: or presidential duties or whatever, and then you thought that

860
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: Pelosi ripping up the speech was like really cool and yes, queen,

861
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: and the whole thing. You should really think long and

862
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: hard about why you have no principles or why you

863
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: don't understand even what a principle is. Then again, there's

864
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: always Chuck Schumer speaking of no principles, telling us things

865
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: that we know to be untrue, but that Chuck or

866
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: doesn't care how untrue they are. Here he is on

867
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: his colleague Mitch McConnell, who we should all be giving

868
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: a round of applause to, because Mitch, there were a

869
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 1: lot I knew conservatives. I knew some well known conservatives.

870
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: You know, let's have more witnesses. Like, they didn't learn

871
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: anything from Kavanaugh. They didn't learn anything. They just want

872
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: to extend the clock to try dirty to try more

873
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: dirty tricks. Why allow them to do that? If the

874
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: whole process is tainted, why not just stop it when

875
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: you can stop it? You know, there are there are

876
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: principles in our judicial system. For example, you know, if

877
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: you don't have a warrant and you run into somebody's

878
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: house and you find evidence of a crime at day,

879
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: you know you find the murder weapon. Even though they

880
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: call this the fruit of the poison tree doctrine, even

881
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: though you might be able to prove this guy as

882
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 1: the murderer, guess what you violated norms and processes to

883
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: get there. Those are important things. You violated someone's rights.

884
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: You can't violate someone's rights and then convict them based

885
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: upon that violation. The entirety of the Democrats impeachment and

886
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: removal scam was effectively a fruit of the poison tree

887
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: operation with the whistleblower. That whole thing, we never got

888
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: to find out anything about that right, never get to

889
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: find out we're Initially Schiff was saying we're gonna hear

890
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: testimony from them, but then they would have asked him

891
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: questions under oath, like so you and Shiff, you guys

892
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,720
Speaker 1: coordinated this right, and we would have found out that Schiff,

893
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: who still claims he doesn't know who the whistleblower is.

894
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 1: If you have any questions about what a dishonest, lying

895
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,919
Speaker 1: hack Adam Schiff is, he he looks the American people

896
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: in the eyes, says, well, I don't know who the

897
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 1: whistle blower is. I have no idea right. So many

898
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: of the Democrats arguments are premised upon us all just

899
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: being really stupid. Apparently maybe it's because they don't have

900
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: better arguments to make, but I think there's also a

901
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of condescension that comes to them They must

902
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: really think we are quite stupid. They must really believe that.

903
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: Here's Schumer, by the way, on Dolory, play McConnell and

904
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: Schumer five, no, please play this has and I believe

905
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: the people will realize that this was one of the

906
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: largest cover ups in the history of our nation. I

907
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: believe the American people will know who stood in the

908
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: way of truth, who were afraid of the facts, who

909
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 1: covered up, And make no mistake about it, the drip

910
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: drip drip of evidence is going to keep coming out

911
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: with each new revelation. Republicans are going to have to

912
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 1: answer for their votes. They chose to turn their back

913
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: on the American people and stand for a cover up.

914
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: They chose to use ad hominem attacks and finger pointing.

915
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: Leader McConnell couldn't even say bring himself to say what

916
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: the president did was wrong when you asked him a

917
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. That's astounding. Maybe he believes what Dershowitz

918
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: believes the president can do. This president can do anything

919
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: he wants. No, just acquittal. Just say with me, say

920
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: with me, Schumer, acquittal, it's over. Thanks for listening to

921

923
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about risk. We absolutely must defeat Donald Trump.

924
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: It's not about President Trump. This is Vice President Joe

925
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: Biden going after you. Yeah, And I've got to say

926
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: that I think we've begun to demonstrate on Monday, coming

927
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 1: in first in the Iowa caucuses, my ability to put

928
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: together the coalition that it's going to take to defeat

929
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, getting urban, rural, and suburban voters together, and

930
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: by the way, reaching out not only to fellow Democrats,

931
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: but independence and even some people leaving the Republican Party.

932
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: And as to the achievements of the Obama administration, I

933
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: have enormous regard for those achievements. I mean, if you

934
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: look at what President Obama was able to do with

935
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: two terms, it's extraordinary. And I had his back during

936
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: that period, even as a mayor in Indiana where it

937
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: wasn't always easy to step forward and back up the president.

938
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: But I think the volk of the credit for the

939
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: achievements of the Obama administration belong with President Obama. Buddha

940
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: Judge wants the Biden slot, and he's starting to make

941
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 1: some gains there, Biden had a disastrous Iowa seventeen percent

942
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: I think was the number. I mean, something really really weak.

943
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 1: What I've I've been telling you all along, Biden's a

944
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: third rate politician and a fifth rate mind. So not impressive,

945
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: has never been impressive, will never be impressive. Just got

946
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 1: really was right place, right time with Obama, right place,

947
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: right time. That's all. That's all it really came down to.

948
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: And that then brings me to Well, first, I do

949
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: think that that Buddha Judge has been able to shift.

950
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: He's been able to pivot and go from the smarter,

951
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: the smarter, better rouric with a better resume, to perhaps

952
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: the young he is articulate, he is intelligent, the young, articulate,

953
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 1: intelligent establishment democrat candidate that they can rally behind. He

954
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: sees a lane. Folks, you know that we talk about

955
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,720
Speaker 1: how things will shift. Buddha Judge now sees his lane

956
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: is saying, Okay, old man, Biden, You're done. This is

957
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna be my lane now. That's what he's hoping for.

958
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: And who knows what will happen in New Hampshire, where

959
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: I think Biden has just taken the day off today.

960
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: Remember Biden also hasn't been dragged into all this you know,

961
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: senate trial nonsense. So he's been able to be in

962
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: He was able to be in Iowa for a long

963
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: time doing a lot of a lot of work, a

964
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,240
Speaker 1: lot of ground and a lot of ground and ground

965
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 1: game stuff. And that then brings me to the Iowa situation,

966
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 1: which I just have to laugh now. I mean, this

967
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: is it's it's so ridiculous. Are the Democrats. It's such

968
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: a debacle. And I sit here and I can tell

969
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: you we don't we don't really know who won. I mean,

970
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: we think it's probably Bernie. And Bernie also had a

971
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollar campaign campaign donation hall for the month,

972
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:13,399
Speaker 1: for the last month. That's more than his opponents had,

973
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: I believe in the previous quarter. So there is Bernie

974
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: momentum right now. It's a real thing. And that then

975
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: brings us to, well, what the heck happened in Iowa?

976
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: Did Bernie winn? Or did Buddha Judge win? It's one

977
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: of the two. And this has gotten so out of

978
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: control that here's the story from CNN. Democratic National Committee

979
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: chair Tom Perez called for a re canvas of all

980
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: results in Iowa on Thursday, as the state's Democratic Party

981
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: continues to struggle to verify the data from Monday night's caucuses.

982
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: The move is a significant step and raises further questions

983
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: about how long the results of the Key Iowa coxes

984
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: will remain outstanding. In a re canvas, all the numbers

985
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: that were released by the state party would be checked

986
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: against the results that we're recorded at caucus sites. Now,

987
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: some of you probably aren't really paying all that much

988
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: attention to this at this point because we're already focusing

989
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: more on New Hampshire. And I think there's a mark.

990
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: Isn't there like a Democrat debate on Friday? Is it right? Yeah,

991
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: they're doing debate, debate on Friday. I don't know why.

992
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: That just strikes me. Debate is like homework for all

993
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: of us, right, I mean nobody really, No One's like, oh,

994
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: it's Friday night and the mood is right, let's watch

995
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: the debate TGIF. I used to watch that. Do you

996
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: ever watch You know you're too young that I've known

997
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: what TGIF is. It was on Friday's I forgetting what

998
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: channel was on. But they would have Full House and

999
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: then Family Matters, and then sometimes it was perfect Strangers.

1000
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: Then they moved to the show Dinosaurs. That was kind

1001
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: of a weird show. Watch that's the thing that they

1002
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: kept going. Yeah, which I loved Full House and Family Matter.

1003
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: I love Family Matters. Miracle guy I was. It wasn't

1004
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: just are just all the whole, but Oracle is a

1005
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: memorable one. Yeah, of course, and the show is kind

1006
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: of Bill it's around her. Yes, Jalil White was his name.

1007
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: I watched the show so many times that actually remember

1008
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: some of the names of the various cast members. You

1009
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: would do that more the Full House because they actually

1010
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: went on to stuff. Well that's that's true. Well you

1011
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: know that the dad is the no no, no, no no,

1012
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: not the dad and the dad he's from Diehart And

1013
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: that was when he first played this role of a

1014
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: of a police officer, Reginald Van Johnson something like that.

1015
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: You yes, yeah, yeah, he managed it and that was

1016
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: a really I thought that was a really good show.

1017
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: He made a cameo in Brooklyn nine nine because the

1018
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: main character and whoever Andy Sandberg plays is obsessed with Diehard.

1019
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm also, I mean, I'm obsessed with Diehard too, so

1020
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: I gotta give Andy Samberg credit on that. I also

1021
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: think It's funny that the character of that Bronson pin

1022
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: shot or pin show, I don't know how you say

1023
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: it plays, you know what he plays in the Beverly

1024
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: Hills cop movie. He plays Serge who wants to make

1025
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: a cappuccino with a lemon fist and then he That

1026
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: was really the basis for the character. Belk Belky bartakamis

1027
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: in the show Perfect Strangers, which I watch many, many,

1028
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: many times. I've never seen that. You've never seen Perfect Strangers?

1029
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: Oh man, It's it's like he's a he's kind of

1030
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: a country country bumpkin immigrant from Greece and uh, you

1031
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: know he does like the dens of Joy and talks

1032
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: about milking goats, and he lives in Chicago with like

1033
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: his kind of curmudgeonly producer Mark Um. He has his

1034
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: own producer, Mark lives with him, so that's their roommates. Yeah,

1035
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: must be terrible to live with someone like me. I mean,

1036
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: one day, one day we gotta get missus Mark to

1037
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: call out of the show and just tell us, you know,

1038
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: what's going on in in Mark world? You know, for real,

1039
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: like what what the what? Mark? Behind the scenes is

1040
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: really like what I'm angry about today? Yeah, something like that,

1041
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: the penalty box as it were. But I watched t

1042
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: G I have like the show back back to Iowa,

1043
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: the debacle that is Iowa. We we don't know what

1044
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: the results are going to be. We don't know where

1045
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: this is going. All we know at this point is that, Wow,

1046
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: this is the best. This is the best the Democratic

1047
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: Party can manage under these circumstances. That is that is

1048
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: pretty astonishing. Maybe a few lessons from this. Why have

1049
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: an app for this? They're already this is not one

1050
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 1: even really seemed to think about this. There already are

1051
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: apps out there that can that can log and count

1052
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: and do all this, and they're you know, tried and true.

1053
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: Why create a new app for the iomacocause you know

1054
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 1: there's they've done some studies. I mean, I think I

1055
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: have probably fifty apps on my phone and I use

1056
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: like ten of them. Maybe even I'm more than that,

1057
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it's closer to one hundred now and I use

1058
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: like ten of them. Of course, he's the iHeart Radio app.

1059
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: Fantastic place. Listen to Bucks Acton Show on wr Monday

Speaker 1: Is that how that's going to work? Yeah, with two

1066
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: different shows, right, with two different shows. Yeah, and the

1067
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: podcast is at like four hours earlier than that, so

1068
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: just listen to that. Yeah, we had a lot of options.

1069
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: We we just we just go where the audience wants

1070
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: us to be. That's how we roll here, Buck sex

1071
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: and all the time. Bucks at twenty four seven Buck,

1072
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: that's the that's the new way to do it. So

1073
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: where was I? Oh, yes, there is this reality of

1074
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: they don't know what the heck is going on in

1075
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: Iowa and where days past this this is it's a

1076
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: bad look for the Democrats, especially because they're supposed to

1077
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: be the competent administrators, at least in their own minds.

1078
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: They're making all these promises about how if they have

1079
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: more power once they're in power, if they have even

1080
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:45,919
Speaker 1: more ability to do what they want to do, it'll

1081
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: all just go so very very well for the country.

1082
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 1: Because they're basically very stable geniuses themselves, and this shows

1083
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: us that they have lots of work to do on

1084
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: that front. And it also I think as a reminder

1085
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: to many of us that you just don't want the

1086
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: government in charge of stuff. It shouldn't be. You know,

1087
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: if you want the government in charge of the absolute

1088
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: minimum necessary to have a government do the functions that

1089
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: are constitutionally prescribed, that's I mean, that's what you want

1090
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 1: in place. You want the absolute bare mimnium. Because government

1091
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: is not good at things. And I worked in the government,

1092
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: I know something about this. The government is not good

1093
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: at most things. So that's what I take from im.

1094
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: And then also that Joe Biden dramatically underperformed and everyone

1095
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: looks at this now and says, wow, maybe Biden does

1096
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: have a glass jaw, so to speak. Maybe Biden is

1097
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: not the front runner that so many were saying he was,

1098
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 1: And that the rest of us who just watched politics

1099
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: politics all the time are saying, the Democrats have got

1100
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: to be kidding, right they they really think that Joe

1101
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: Biden is going to beat Donald Trump. I don't think so.

1102
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton

1103
01:03:54,200 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Miss Hutchinson. I also want to think thank

1104
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: you about bringing up the poverty draft and this idea

1105
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: of a bootstrap. You know, this idea and this metaphor

1106
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 1: of a bootstrap started off as a joke because it's

1107
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: a physical impossibility to lift yourself up by a bootstrap,

1108
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: by your shoelaces. It's physically impossible. The whole thing is

1109
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: a joke. And yet aoc herself was, as she has described,

1110
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: a bartender who went on to become a congresswoman before

1111
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: the age of thirty, isn't that and didn't come from

1112
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot of money, didn't come from a lot of privilege.

1113
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: May have benefited in the college application process, I don't know,

1114
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: may have benefited from the emphasis on diversity and applications,

1115
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: which is one of those areas of American society where

1116
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: we're all supposed to accept that that's the way that

1117
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: this is going to be. We're all supposed to say

1118
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: that a firmative action is a good and moral thing,

1119
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: but we're not allowed to talk about it. And if

1120
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: we talk about it, it makes people uncomfortable. It makes

1121
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: people uncomfortable. We have to shut up. Oh, okay, it's

1122
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: such a good thing that no one's allowed to really

1123
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: discuss it. That's good to know, but she resents the

1124
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: idea that what she did, which is pretty remarkable. I mean,

1125
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: you have somebody who is an ignoramus who is now

1126
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: one of the most famous politicians in the country as

1127
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: a massive social media following. She resents the idea that

1128
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 1: conservatives are constantly trying to reinforce across the country to

1129
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: people of all races, all ethnicities, all background all backgrounds,

1130
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: that you two can do this. She doesn't like that

1131
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: model because it's much better to create a culture or victimization,

1132
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: to perpetuate that mentality and to allow people to blame

1133
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: all of their problems on external factors and not present

1134
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: them with the empowerment and the responsibility the accountability necessary

1135
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 1: to make better choices in one's own life and then

1136
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: benefit from those choices going forward. No. AOC represents an

1137
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 1: ideology that tells you just give more authority, give more

1138
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 1: power to the government, and the government will take care

1139
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: of this. The government will take care of your healthcare,

1140
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 1: the government will take care of your schooling, of your

1141
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: housing or whatever, of your food. It's like we learned

1142
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 1: nothing from the collapse of the Soviet Union. It's like

1143
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: we've learned nothing from Venezuela and these other and when

1144
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: they bring up places like Norway and sweet Norway is

1145
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: a very small, homogeneous country with massive oil reserves that

1146
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: essentially pays for the welfare state. Okay, I mean, so

1147
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 1: is that is our plan to try to replicate that

1148
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 1: because we're very different. We're bigger than that, We're much

1149
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 1: more diverse than that, and we while we are the

1150
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: global oil and gas superpower, although the Democrats want to

1151
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: put a stop to that, we don't have a small

1152
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: population that can just have its schooling and its welfare

1153
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: programs paid for just off of fossil fuel revenue. Sweden

1154
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: is not really a socialist country. It is a high

1155
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 1: tax Asian country with a very large welfare state, which

1156
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: you could argue is a form of socialism. But then

1157
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: you also want to ask yourself, do we do we really?

1158
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 1: Do you really want to you want to live in Sweden?

1159
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: You think about that for a moment, You know, did

1160
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: you really want to elect Bernie Sanders, who I think

1161
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: it would be best off as the mayor of Stockholm?

1162
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: You really want that to happen? And by the way,

1163
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: what he's proposing in many ways is more radical than

1164
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: what you have in some of those countries, the programs

1165
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 1: that he's advocating for. You know, there's this story that

1166
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: didn't get nearly enough attention, and it was written by

1167
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: the Washington Post. Actually, because I think the Post is

1168
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: not a Bernie. I don't think the Post is pro Sanders.

1169
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: The Post is an establishment Oregan and they're more on

1170
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: the Biden Warren camp I did, but do we see

1171
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: who they? Who they? You know, endorsed. They haven't endorsed

1172
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: anyone yet, right, I don't believe anyone but the Times

1173
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: has yet. Yeah, the Times hasn't. The Des Moines Register, right, well,

1174
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean the National No, no, there needs The New

1175
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: York Times endorsed Warren and closed the New yor right,

1176
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: the New York Times. Yeah, but the Washington Post hasn't.

1177
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that no one cares about their endorsements anyway.

1178
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: It's all crap. But there was a story about how

1179
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is planning all of these executive orders when

1180
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: he becomes president, including declaring a climate emergency and just

1181
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: usurping the legislative process and banning the export of crude oil,

1182
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 1: banning it. That's how dumb, that's how crazy these libs

1183
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: really are now they look at things that have been

1184
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: incredibly beneficial for this country. They look at things that

1185
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 1: have been working remarkably well, that have resulted in explosions

1186
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 1: of wealth and prosperity, and they say, let's stop that

1187
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: thing because of a fairy tale we keep telling each

1188
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 1: other one that is ultimately rooted in the need for

1189
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:46,919
Speaker 1: a greater government control. Well, that is ultimately a function

1190
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: of the Democrats desire for more control over every aspect

1191
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 1: of your life. Green New Deal, they call it. That's

1192
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: that's quite a quite a euphemism. It's a it's a

1193
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: terrible idea, as we all know, and yet here we

1194
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:09,600
Speaker 1: are still having to deal with people think it's a

1195
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 1: good idea. By the way, AOC also spoke about Russia.

1196
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 1: Limball is a very touching moment where he got the

1197
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 1: Medal of Freedom. Here is what the leader of the

1198
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: Democrat progressive side of the Aisle had to say, Play ten.

1199
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 1: The Presidential Medal of Freedom is an extraordinarily sacred award.

1200
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 1: We're talking about putting someone on the same level as

1201
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 1: Rosa Parks, you know, for example, in terms of their

1202
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: contributions to American progress. Russia. Limball is a violent racist,

1203
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: but even just on top of that, to do it

1204
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: in the middle of a State of the Union and

1205
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: not even dignify it with its own ceremony as it has.

1206
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: There's all sorts of norms that are being violated, not

1207
01:09:56,600 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: just for people's humanity, but also it truly just cheapens

1208
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: the value of it. Also, him pretending to be surprised

1209
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 1: was such a joke. This has been news all day.

1210
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 1: There have been multiple reports for multiple multiple news outlets

1211
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 1: saying that Rush Limbaugh was going to receive the Medal

1212
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: of Freedom and then Trump announced it and he had to, like,

1213
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 1: you know, pretend that this was some kind of Oprah

1214
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:31,679
Speaker 1: momentum was so disingenuous. She's a moron, and Rush didn't

1215
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: know about this. And I know for a fact that

1216
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 1: Rush did not know about this. I've been told by

1217
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: people who would know. Sleeves bang, and yes, you're referring

1218
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: to AOC. Yeah, any more credit the vet. Yeah. And

1219
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: she also when she's talking about who's received the Medal

1220
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 1: of Freedom, she's leaving off, Oh, I don't know, such

1221
01:10:55,520 --> 01:11:01,839
Speaker 1: amazing luminaries like Tom Brokaw received the Medal of Freedom.

1222
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 1: Give me a break. Okay, that's you know, when we're

1223
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 1: talking about random lib journalists are getting this thing. I

1224
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: don't think we really need to hear about how oh

1225
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 1: it's it's mother Teresa. Okay, Yeah, a lot of people

1226
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: get the Medal of Freedom. Rush Lumba absolutely deserve the

1227
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: Medal of Freedom, and AOC is an imbecile. Thanks for

1231
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: I don't you really think about this for a second.

1232
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,640
Speaker 1: What is the building that you can think of that

1233
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: is the thing that looks like it's straight out of

1234
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 1: the coldest, darkest days of the Soviet Union. Because there's

1235
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 1: plenty of them around us in this country too, and

1236
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,560
Speaker 1: there's a reason for that. If you think about the

1237
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: ugliest buildings you've ever seen, you may think of, oh,

1238
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, the Department of Health and Human Services

1239
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. If you've ever been there, or

1240
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:08,759
Speaker 1: the FBI building in DC, the Hoover Building. I worked

1241
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 1: for a while at the NYPD Intelligence Division, and you'd

1242
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: go to a place here called one PP one Police Plaza.

1243
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 1: The main headquarters of the NYPD, and I used to

1244
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 1: joke that every time I went in there, I was

1245
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: worried that they were going to take me into a

1246
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: basement and start putting electrodes on me because it looked

1247
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:29,599
Speaker 1: like the headquarters of the KGB. The KGB wait, it's fun,

1248
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: No one. If you ever seen knock knock, who's there

1249
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 1: the KGB and then slaps them the face, the KGB

1250
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 1: waits fun, No one, that's from the office. I always

1251
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: liked that one. But I've got the KGB in my

1252
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: mind because I think The Americans is such a good show.

1253
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,799
Speaker 1: Why am I telling you about ugg buildings? Because President

1254
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 1: Trump wants to do something about it. There's a draft

1255
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 1: executive order. I think this is pretty interesting, folks, I

1256
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: really do. There's a draft executive order that would start

1257
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: to push the federal government in any new construction and

1258
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 1: new buildings away from modern designs that there would be

1259
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: essentially a more uniform esthetic code architecturally speaking, for the

1260
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 1: federal government, or effectively, you would have a neo classical

1261
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 1: uniformity to federal government buildings, things like the White House,

1262
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 1: the Congress right, the Capitol Building. I mean, that's everything

1263
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 1: should look a little bit more like that and a

1264
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: little bit less like the Hoover Building, which if you've

1265
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 1: ever been in it, and I have, if you've ever

1266
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 1: gone to some of these places, you know the DJ

1267
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: for example, still has some neo classical the facade, I mean,

1268
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,600
Speaker 1: there are some of The Treasury Building is beautiful right

1269
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:49,959
Speaker 1: next to the White House. But this all comes from

1270
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: a movement in architecture that we know as brutalism, and

1271
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 1: it stretches back to we mentioned Sweden before. It stretches

1272
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: back to Sweden. I believe it was called knee brutalism,

1273
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 1: and it was a reference to a really ugly cinder

1274
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 1: block looking cement house that an architect in Sweden referred

1275
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 1: to as as knee brutalism. And then brutalism just became

1276
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 1: the way we described it. And this became an architectural

1277
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 1: fad among or style among architects starting around the fifties

1278
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 1: into the sixties. The Brits picked it up. And now

1279
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: you might say, well, where did they find this from? Well,

1280
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 1: it really also was always influenced by the most functional, cold, lumpy,

1281
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: austere buildings of the Soviet Block. The Soviet Union didn't

1282
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 1: build big ugly cinder boxes, cinder block boxes, rather because

1283
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: they thought it looked so cool. They built them because

1284
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 1: they were easy, they were functional, and they didn't have

1285
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 1: a sense of style, panash, a sense of elevation through

1286
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: consc instruction. It was all just we will make you'll

1287
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 1: douce building because it will keep the rain off your

1288
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: head and keep you from freezing maybe in winter. That

1289
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: was it. I remember when I went to Prague for

1290
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: the first time. I think it's about thirteen years old,

1291
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 1: and on the way into the city, you know, pretty

1292
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 1: old city in Prague, that the Charles Bridge. It's just

1293
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. I mean the Prague looks a lot of

1294
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: parts of Prague in the old city looks like something

1295
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 1: you'd see in a Disney movie or in a story book.

1296
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 1: But when you're going in there's these housing developments that

1297
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 1: that you can basically hear the Soviet national anthem playing

1298
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 1: in the background as you drive past them. You go, oh,

1299
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:47,680
Speaker 1: look at that, just gray depressing concrete boxes. And this

1300
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: became an architectural style and it's a it's a shame

1301
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: they have marred America with this arcus. I mean, the

1302
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 1: worst architecture in the history of construction is brutalism. You know,

1303
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 1: you drive around even the New York area ran right now,

1304
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's truehere. You are too, you probably you know,

1305
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 1: if you have a high school, for example, a big

1306
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: high school that was built in the seventies, it looks

1307
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 1: like someone took a concrete box and drilled a couple

1308
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:23,719
Speaker 1: of holes in the windows and said, here's your high school. Enjoy.

1309
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 1: This is true of a lot of of you know,

1310
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 1: city sort of city council buildings, and you know, the

1311
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 1: opposite end of the spectrum, it would be something like

1312
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: the New York State Assembly House, which I believe, at

1313
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 1: the time it was built was the most expensive building

1314
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 1: to have ever been built in the United States, which

1315
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 1: which is garish but but pretty amazing too. Then that's

1316
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:47,559
Speaker 1: the opposite in the SECD room, where you maybe spend

1317
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,600
Speaker 1: a little too much money on things looking beautiful. But

1318
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: Trump is trying to take some action on this, and

1319
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 1: it's just so funny to watch people flip out and say, oh,

1320
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 1: it's gonna be you know, everything's gonna be Trump Tower.

1321
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 1: He's not. He's not. You're not gonna be. The White

1322
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: House is not going to be a gleaming glass tower

1323
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 1: with lots of gold, and that's not going to happen.

1324
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:11,600
Speaker 1: What this is trying to do is to re establish

1325
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 1: an esthetic for the federal government to build buildings that

1326
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: aren't so depressing. I know, you might say a punk

1327
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: who cares whatever, But you know, do you think the

1328
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 1: White House should look like a concrete bunker? Do you

1329
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: think it's an it's good that the White House looks

1330
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: like the White House? You know what? Do you think

1331
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 1: the Capitol building should look like a bomb shelter? Or

1332
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, is there's something, is there's some magic, and

1333
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: then just take that across state governments and local governments,

1334
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 1: and all these government buildings made really in the sixties

1335
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: and the seventies are the worst. I mean, I think

1336
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: about and even at my college. I think I might

1337
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: have told some of you the story before on air.

1338
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: But in this art appreciation class that I took, which

1339
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: is a pretty decent class, it was really kind of

1340
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: a history of Western civilization slash art appreciation. It was

1341
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 1: all right, But to start it out, the guy says

1342
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 1: that the professor I don't remember his name now, but

1343
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: he says, you know, why does any of this stuff matter?

1344
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: And he's like, well, if you don't have aesthetics, if

1345
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: you don't understand what is aspirational, what is beautiful? What

1346
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, why why people care about about art and

1347
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: about and about architecture and about music and about take

1348
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 1: a look at this. And he showed us the current

1349
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: library that we had there, which was it's brutalist modern architecture.

1350
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 1: It's like you took two concrete boxes and put another

1351
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 1: concrete box on top of it, and then she sat

1352
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 1: some slit windows put in. I mean, the thing is,

1353
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:38,879
Speaker 1: it's ugly, it's depressing. You don't want to go inside.

1354
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: It feels like you're walking into a science experiment where

1355
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: they're going to put electrodes on you. It really does.

1356
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: And he showed us what before they came before some

1357
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, new board of directors came along and said, well,

1358
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 1: brutalism and modernism is really what we need on this campus.

1359
01:18:55,360 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: So let's they tore down a stone, goth thick structure

1360
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,640
Speaker 1: that was it was called Walker Hall. It was absolutely

1361
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: it was beautiful, and he showed us all these photos

1362
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: of it. Tore the whole thing down. And you know,

1363
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: you looked at one build, you looked at the original building,

1364
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 1: you would have thought to yourself, this is a place.

1365
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 1: It looked like something kind of an ad of Harry Potter.

1366
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 1: You know, this is a place where you'd go to

1367
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: learn wizardry, or this is a place where if you're

1368
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna study chemistry, at least you're not gonna walk inside

1369
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 1: depressed every day. Now, I don't want to overstate how important,

1370
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, buildings are and all the rest of it,

1371
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 1: but there is there is something here. And I think

1372
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:32,840
Speaker 1: it's interestant that Trump, who's accused of being such a

1373
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 1: such a barbarian, and always he's so uncultured, and I

1374
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 1: mean he does order his stakes. Well done, folks. I

1375
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: don't one day I'm gonna talk to him about this,

1376
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 1: be like sir, what's with? I mean, okay, well done,

1377
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 1: but with ketchup. Then again, I am an aol I'm

1378
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 1: an aoli eater, which is just a fancy way of

1379
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: saying I like mayonnaise with oil in it, which is

1380
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:57,519
Speaker 1: all really ali is. But Trump wants this executive order

1381
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 1: to go through. He wants to do this. You know,

1382
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: I think that some of the I'll just tell you,

1383
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 1: I think that some of the newer museums, I mean,

1384
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:09,680
Speaker 1: for example, the East wing of the National Gallery of

1385
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 1: Art is an abomination. It's it's terrible, it's depressing, it's ugly,

1386
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 1: it's bad. I remember, you know, they they have read,

1387
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 1: they've redone all a lot of these buildings in recent years,

1388
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,599
Speaker 1: and they make the interiors nice and they don't want

1389
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: to touch the exterior of them. But they really should

1390
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 1: go back to classical architecture and federal buildings. I think

1391
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,720
Speaker 1: Trump's right on this one. I know it's not that

1392
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: big of a thing, but you know, modern architecture. I

1393
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 1: don't know what was wrong with people in the sixties

1394
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 1: and the seventies in this country and in Europe, but

1395
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 1: they built the ugliest structures in the world. We should

1396
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 1: they should all be you know, AOC says for the

1397
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 1: Green New deal we got, we gotta rebuild every building

1398
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 1: in the country. That's crazy. We obviously can't do that,

1399
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 1: but every brutalist building that we can tear down to

1400
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 1: the studs and over again, we should, and we should

1401
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 1: go back to an esthetic that is actually aspirational and

1402
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 1: elevating and worthwhile. Um I think the building we are

1403
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 1: in right now, Producer Mark, could be considered brutalist. It

1404
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 1: is what it is, a big concrete box. What it's

1405
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:20,760
Speaker 1: actually known. The building we're in is known as one

1406
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: of the best architectural designs ever. What the old it's

1407
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 1: the old AT and T Building. That's where we are.

1408
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: Have you seen all the uh the stuff in the lobby?

1409
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: How beautiful lobby is the lobbies nice? Yeah? The outside

1410
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: of the building is a big red maybe not the outside.

1411
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about architecture, not inferiors. Yeah, but

1412
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: it's a very famous building we're in right now. But

1413
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 1: I know it's famous, but I don't I don't know.

1414
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 1: I mean, and now you've told everybody where we do

1415
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 1: the show, by the way, so hopefully the crazy yeah,

1416
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: because they couldn't just google that. The crazies aren't going

1417
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 1: to be waiting for us in the lobby. You know.

1418
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:51,639
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna have to use the back entrance all

1419
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 1: the time. There is no dude. This building is a

1420
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:57,479
Speaker 1: giant red brick box. That's what this building is. There's

1421
01:21:57,680 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: you want you want a beautiful building, you got to

1422
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: go back to the nineteen twenties. You go to the

1423
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,439
Speaker 1: Chrysler building. You go, you know, that's that's where you

1424
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: actually have architectural aesthetic that's worthwhile. This thing is, this

1425
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 1: thing is just functional. The lobby is beautiful. The lot okay,

1426
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: the lot, but that's the part that's architecture that you're

1427
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 1: talking about interiors. I'm talking about the exterior. I'm talking

1428
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 1: about the exterior. It's a different as a whole, the

1429
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: whole thing. That's what I mean. They'll redo the end anyway, Bruser.

1430
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:24,679
Speaker 1: Mark and I have different aesthetics, obviously, but this building

1431
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 1: I do not think is particularly beautiful. I think the

1432
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 1: Chrysler Building art deco, neo classical. That's what we should

1433
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 1: all go to. And now let's talk about some things

1434
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 1: that matter all the rest of you. You're in the

1435
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right,

1436
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 1: Producer Mark is actually technically correct as I look at

1437
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 1: the facade of the AT and T building that we're

1438
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 1: currently and it would classify as art deco, which I

1439
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: do like. But I still think it's a big, ugly

1440
01:22:55,600 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 1: red box. Wow. That's right. It's almost a minute. All right,

1441
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: you won this one. Yeah, where's Clemson? Where's Clemson. I'm

1442
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:09,679
Speaker 1: just saying he's tastes. He is technically correct about the

1443
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:12,080
Speaker 1: ugly red box that we are in it is a

1444
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:16,759
Speaker 1: landmark Art Deco skyscraper from the nineteen thirties. Fine, whatever,

1445
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 1: I just you know what it is. Because we're here

1446
01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 1: in the hut, I can't appreciate all the exterior beauty

1447
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 1: hut outside. So we can look at the building there

1448
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: we go. We should have an outdoor freedom hut to

1449
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 1: then we can check it out. There is plenty of

1450
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 1: brutalism down here, though. The ATNT building at thirty three

1451
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 1: Thomas Street, for example, is an example of brutalis So

1452
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 1: there are brutalist skyscrapers dotting Lower Manhattan. This happens to

1453
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 1: not be one of them. Blah blah. Producer Mark was

1454
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 1: technically correct. All right, Let's move on to something that's

1455
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: more important than Producer Mark being right. For example, let's see,

1456
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you about some of the

1457
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 1: things that Trump is doing. Oh, we didn't really get

1458
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 1: into the prayer breakfast this morning. We didn't really have

1459
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:01,720
Speaker 1: much of a discussion about that. Here is what the

1460
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:05,679
Speaker 1: president says, play clip sixteen. Please about this. A lot

1461
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 1: of people out there that aren't liking what we're doing,

1462
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: and we're pursuing medical breakthroughs to save premature babies. Because

1463
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: every child is a sacred gift from God. Trump doesn't

1464
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 1: get enough credit for this, but he is the most

1465
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:24,160
Speaker 1: outspoken president who has taken the most action on issues

1466
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:26,080
Speaker 1: of life of any president that I can think of.

1467
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 1: He's somebody who when he came into office, I remember

1468
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 1: we were being told by many, many conservatives, now some

1469
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 1: of whom have become Democrats because they hate Trump so much,

1470
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 1: but we were being told that this was all affront,

1471
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 1: it was a hoax, that Trump was not going to

1472
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,559
Speaker 1: follow through on these issues and he was not going

1473
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: to be a pro life president. Turns out those who

1474
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:50,720
Speaker 1: were willing to believe, those who are willing to go

1475
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 1: along with it, were correct that he would be a

1476
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:55,719
Speaker 1: pro life president. In fact, you'd be a very effective

1477
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:59,719
Speaker 1: one and a reliable one. I think that that's important

1478
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:03,799
Speaker 1: all also someone who is trying to do more for

1479
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 1: medical research and prescription drugs. I mean, he talked about

1480
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 1: breakthroughs to say premature babies, and this is an area

1481
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 1: where you see there's a lot of politics that influences

1482
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 1: some of these decisions. Because if you can save as

1483
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 1: the President highlighted during the State of the Union address,

1484
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: if you can save a I think it was a

1485
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:27,400
Speaker 1: one pound I think the girl that they that they

1486
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,799
Speaker 1: were cheering for had been I think a one pound

1487
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 1: premature baby and born at about twenty weeks and she

1488
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:38,240
Speaker 1: lived there. Now she's a healthy, functioning young girl. Everything's fine. Well,

1489
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 1: if you are able to leave the mother's womb at

1490
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: twenty weeks, what does science say about whether or not

1491
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: that's a human being. It is clearly a human being,

1492
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 1: and in fact it's a human being who's viable, and

1493
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: viability keeps getting pushed further and further back. And this

1494
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 1: is a threat, very much a threat to the abortion lobby,

1495
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 1: which will never will never change any of its positions

1496
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 1: based on science, are based on breakthroughs. They just they

1497
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 1: have a view of this and it's a view that

1498
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 1: they will never they'll never switch from, they will never change.

1499
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: And then also Trump did take a bit of a

1500
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 1: swipe I think at Edmund Romney, at at Pierre de Lecto,

1501
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 1: at the Breakfast Play fifteen. I don't like people who

1502
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: use their faith as justification for doing what they know

1503
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 1: is wrong. Nor do I like people who say I

1504
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:38,840
Speaker 1: pray for you when they know that that's not so.

1505
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: That was a double swipe. Actually you see the one

1506
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 1: was against mid Romney for being Oh my faith is

1507
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 1: pushing me to know he's mid Romney voted against Trump

1508
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 1: and not to go back into this conversation, but mid

1509
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 1: Romney voted against Trump because he hates Trump. It's not

1510
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 1: because God told him too, it's not because the Constitution

1511
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: demanded it of him. It's because he doesn't like Trump

1512
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 1: and this was the best chance he ever got to

1513
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: just stick a thumb in Trump's eye. But also that

1514
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,760
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi says that she prays for Trump. First of all,

1515
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I can't be I'm not

1516
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,600
Speaker 1: in Nancy Pelosi's mind. Well that would be interesting or

1517
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 1: her heart. Does she strike me as the kind of

1518
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 1: person who prays. Look, there are some some far left

1519
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 1: Libs who are concert including far left Libs who are

1520
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 1: who say they're Catholics, who are constantly advocating against church

1521
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 1: doctrine and policy, who I guess think that they are

1522
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 1: quite religious, even I mean actively. It's one thing to say, oh,

1523
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: I support the poor and you know these things that

1524
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:41,679
Speaker 1: are really just virtue signaling dressed up is as religious

1525
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: faith for Libs. But there are other areas. I mean

1526
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:47,679
Speaker 1: abortion is the most notable one. There are others actually

1527
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: being in favor of same sex marriage, for example, is

1528
01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 1: against Catholic church teachings, not against all church teachings. And

1529
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe Pelosi praised, maybe she doesn't. I

1530
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 1: can tell you this, she doesn't play. She doesn't pray

1531
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 1: for Trump. That I do not buy at all. I

1532
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 1: do not think that that's something that anybody believes in

1533
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:13,519
Speaker 1: this whole process. So, you know, Trump this week has

1534
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 1: had a really strong one. I'm glad to see that

1535
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 1: he's pushing back, punching back, fighting back, and the results

1536
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 1: really do speak for themselves. But we're still going to

1537
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 1: need to hear it a lot. We're gonna need to

1538
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:29,960
Speaker 1: hear it because the media doesn't want to talk about it,

1539
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 1: and we're going to need to hear it because this

1540
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 1: president has been able to keep faith with his base

1541
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 1: in a way that makes him very likely to get reelected,

1542
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: very likely to have people turn out for him, and

1543
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 1: even in some ways that are surprising. I mean, he's

1544
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: pushing for research for to say, premature babies. He's pushing

1545
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,800
Speaker 1: for prescription drug prices to go down. I mean, he's

1546
01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: taking action in areas that are really effective in helping people,

1547
01:28:57,160 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 1: and they're not necessarily things that when he was initially

1548
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 1: running for office you heard a lot about. He also claims,

1549
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 1: of course the wall is going to go up in

1550
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 1: that there'll be hundreds of miles of wall built. We

1551
01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:10,960
Speaker 1: got to see on that one. I think he's trying.

1552
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 1: I think he could have tried earlier and harder. But

1553
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:18,559
Speaker 1: he's certainly telling us that by election day there'll be

1554
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of wallop and that's gonna

1555
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:23,560
Speaker 1: be that's gonna be very, very helpful for his prospects.

1556
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 1: So and I can tell you this, if Trump wins,

1557
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to be praying for Nancy Pelosi and

1558
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 1: all the Democrats because they are they are going to

1559
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,800
Speaker 1: be in absolute freak out mode. They're gonna think the

1560
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:36,920

Speaker 1: us in Baltimore, in Ford, Wayne, in Austin, and in

1580

Speaker 1: Los Angeles. You know, I mean everywhere. You'll still be

1581
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 1: able to hear the show everywhere you're used to listen

1582
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 1: to it. So I don't think that's because I saw

1583
01:30:58,040 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 1: some people when I post the announced me this today,

1584
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:01,200
Speaker 1: We're like, what do you mean, what happened to the

1585
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 1: other hours of the show. No, no no, no, no. The

1586
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:07,599
Speaker 1: New Hour is an additional hour the wr WR, which

1587
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 1: is the station here in New York. That's an additional hour,

1588
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:11,519
Speaker 1: so you can listen to that as as you like.

1589
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 1: If you're in the New York area, though, it is

1590
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:16,000
Speaker 1: really important if your team Buck and you're in the

1591
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 1: Tri state area and you can get seven to ten

1592

1593
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:26,360
Speaker 1: because that's going to be very very important to us

1594
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 1: going forward, and I think you'll like it. I'll be

1595
01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:32,479
Speaker 1: talking about like, Hey, the subway, I'm in New York. Hey,

1596
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm eating the pizza, but it's gluten free. But you know,

1597
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:37,280
Speaker 1: really like it'll be a little more of a the

1598
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:40,760
Speaker 1: producer Mark's local knowledge will also come in handy. He'll

1599
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:42,599
Speaker 1: be able to tell us about all the greatest things

1600
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,439
Speaker 1: about Long Island versus New Jersey or as I like

1601
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:48,639
Speaker 1: to call it, Jersey. I'm sorry to disappointment, producer Mark

1602
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:51,559
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with that show, that's true. But

1603
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:54,679
Speaker 1: you can send me emails and tell me about these things.

1604
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 1: You're gonna be my You're gonna be my eyes and

1605
01:31:57,600 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 1: ears for those. But I don't know anything about Jersey.

1606
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:02,679
Speaker 1: I don't live there yet. Yeah, but you will. Okay,

1607
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 1: you know You're you're providing all kinds of information and content.

1608
01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 1: Apparently you study architecture and your spare time. I don't

1609
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:11,519
Speaker 1: even know that's what I do. I don't even know.

1610
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 1: You know, oh, this building got yet, the building has

1611
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 1: got awards for design whatever. I know things about the

1612
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:20,800
Speaker 1: building I work, you know, Yeah, yeah, it technically you see,

1613
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 1: it was technically correct. All right, let's get to Paul. Oh. No,

1614
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:24,800
Speaker 1: did we get to Kyle? No, we did not. Here

1615
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 1: we go, Kyle buck. The Democrat attitude during the State

1616
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:29,720
Speaker 1: of the Union tells you everything you need to know.

1617
01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:32,639
Speaker 1: They'd rather see this country tank than see it succeed

1618
01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:34,559
Speaker 1: under Trump's leadership. I don't know how they can't be

1619
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:36,519
Speaker 1: happy for this country and all the success we've had,

1620
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:38,160
Speaker 1: but I guess it'd be hard for them to get

1621
01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 1: the votes if their base wasn't always enraged about something.

1622
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 1: Democrats pushed doom and gloom to gain power with empty

1623
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 1: promises and failed policies, and we actually are doing great

1624
01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:49,880
Speaker 1: as a country using the opposite formula. They do whatever

1625
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:52,519
Speaker 1: they can to destroy those just stand against them. Sorry,

1626
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:54,559
Speaker 1: I'm reading through this one a little fast. That has

1627
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:56,679
Speaker 1: a terror has to be a terrible way to live.

1628
01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 1: They all seem miserable. Kyle. Yes, I think you are correct.

1629
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:08,120
Speaker 1: Democrats are opposing things that are objectively good and are

1630
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:10,880
Speaker 1: upset about things that should make them happy, and that

1631
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:15,360
Speaker 1: is an issue, that is a problem, Paul Buck Nancy

1632
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:17,599
Speaker 1: Pelosi stated that you can't be acquitted without a trial,

1633
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 1: and that to be a trial there has to be

1634
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:21,800
Speaker 1: witnesses and evidence in that trial. Using her logic, if

1635
01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 1: President Trump were to be convicted by the Senate, there

1636
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:27,120
Speaker 1: could be no conviction since there were no additional evidence

1637
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 1: or witnesses. I haven't earned any people discussing this since

1638
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 1: we all anticipate the present will be acquitted today. Your thoughts, Yeah,

1639
01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Paul, they keep changing what constitutes a trial,

1640
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 1: what constitutes a fair hearing, what constitutes due process? So yes,

1641
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean this is the issue along is how can

1642
01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:49,479
Speaker 1: you have voted for how can you have voted for

1643
01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:53,919
Speaker 1: impeachment on the basis of the evidence and witnesses presented

1644
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 1: and then say the Senate can't rely on that same

1645
01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:02,160
Speaker 1: body of information to come to its conclusion. How can

1646
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:07,080
Speaker 1: That's not rational, that's not reasonable, that's not a good

1647
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:14,040
Speaker 1: faith disagreement, that's dishonest. So I'm with you, Catherine rights

1648
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:18,200
Speaker 1: Hi Buck Hi, Catherine to keep food super fresh in

1649
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:21,640
Speaker 1: the freezer. Invest in a food saver. It vacuums all

1650
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:23,920
Speaker 1: the air out of the freezer bag provided with the

1651
01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 1: product to keep your meat as fresh as the day

1652
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:28,200
Speaker 1: it was purchased. Stores food in the freezer for as

1653
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:34,040
Speaker 1: long as six months. Huh. That sounds kind of cool, actually, yeah,

1654
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 1: because it's just me. The problem with buying a lot

1655
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:39,760
Speaker 1: of fresh produce when you're a single guy is that

1656
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,479
Speaker 1: you can't buy for one really, I mean, you're always

1657
01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, if I buy blueberries, it's like enough blueberries

1658
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:47,360
Speaker 1: for five people. When you go to the store and

1659
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:48,840
Speaker 1: you get a box or whatever, I mean, it's like,

1660
01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I'm might sit there in the whole.

1661
01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 1: It's not that big of a box of blueberries. It's

1662
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:55,920
Speaker 1: more you don't need that many blueberries. The one sitting

1663
01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he'd like you portion it into four or

1664
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 1: five days. Yeah, But also, do you eat blueberries every

1665
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 1: day for five days? I mean, sure, blueberry? Are you too?

1666
01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:07,360
Speaker 1: Is this? I don't even like blueberries. What I'm saying

1667
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:11,240
Speaker 1: you could. What is your favorite fruit, either grapes or apple?

1668
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 1: What kind of apple? I'm not really picky. See, I'm

1669
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 1: a Granny Smith. Guy. I like that sour tartness. I

1670
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:19,479
Speaker 1: love going apple picking out on Long Island. That's fun.

1671
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:21,760
Speaker 1: Where's the best place to do that. I think it's

1672
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 1: a carbis orchard is like nor Shore. Yeah, there's some

1673
01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:30,519
Speaker 1: nice stuff out there. Yeah, I'm for me. It's always

1674
01:35:31,120 --> 01:35:35,040
Speaker 1: a peach when it is proper ripeness is I think

1675
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:37,519
Speaker 1: the greatest fruit. But if you're talking about just day

1676
01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 1: to day, uh, I go, I go grapes or banana

1677
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:43,800
Speaker 1: like ba I go grapes or bananas. Yeah, those are

1678
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 1: those are my favorites. Um oh, we went through cats.

1679
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:50,400
Speaker 1: Let's see we got t J. Right. As an Iowan,

1680
01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:53,559
Speaker 1: I'm slightly embarrassed from my Democrat counterparts on behalf of

1681
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:56,519
Speaker 1: all islands. I'd just like to say, we're sorry, but

1682
01:35:56,640 --> 01:36:00,000
Speaker 1: please don't take the first in the nation primary caucustatus

1683
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:03,320
Speaker 1: away from us. I promise first of all, that Republicans

1684
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:05,920
Speaker 1: will not batch it in twenty twenty four, nor did

1685
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 1: they batch it last night. Furthermore, it's crazy to think

1686
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:13,000
Speaker 1: that party, that party can't even plan one state election,

1687
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 1: thinks that they can plan the lives of every American citizen.

1688
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:17,840
Speaker 1: Wale TJ. WHI you've opened up for me here. Well,

1689
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 1: first of all, thank you for speaking speaking out about

1690
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: this from the great state of Iowa. Does anyone ever

1691
01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:25,840
Speaker 1: get on TV or anyone any politician ever say, you know,

1692
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:28,519
Speaker 1: from the like not so bad state of or from

1693
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:31,720
Speaker 1: the you know, sort of great state. I guess we

1694
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 1: have to pretend that all states are great. Look, some

1695
01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:36,160
Speaker 1: states are better than others. We're conservatives. We live in

1696
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:38,240
Speaker 1: the real world. Now we can argue about what the

1697
01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 1: realities of what states are better than others. But there

1698
01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:42,960
Speaker 1: are some states that, you know, they're just okay. I

1699
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:45,759
Speaker 1: feel like, guess somebody who hosts say show that airs

1700
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 1: probably in every almost every state. No, I know, I'm

1701
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:50,720
Speaker 1: not telling you which ones I like and don't line. Yeah,

1702
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm from New York, so I can make

1703
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:54,040
Speaker 1: fun of New Jersey. Meanwhile, like half of my friends

1704
01:36:54,080 --> 01:36:55,880
Speaker 1: are from New Jersey, so I can't really you know.

1705
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm moving there and I still hate it,

1706
01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, but like you don't hate it because you're

1707
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:01,920
Speaker 1: moving there, so you don't hate it. That's home. It's

1708
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 1: only home because it's so close to him and happen. See,

1709
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:06,519
Speaker 1: you're just it's the same thing if you're from Texas

1710
01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:09,639
Speaker 1: you have a you have a special dispensation to make

1711
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,720
Speaker 1: as many jokes about Oklahoma as you want. Everyone knows

1712
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,360
Speaker 1: it's not that you actually hate Oklahoma. I remember a

1713
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:17,160
Speaker 1: Texans once told me they're building the wall on the

1714
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 1: wrong border because they want to build it at the

1715
01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 1: northern anyway. But you know, if you're in New Yorker,

1716
01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:25,800
Speaker 1: you're allowed to make fun of New Jersey, if your

1717
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:27,240
Speaker 1: Jersey allowed to make fun of you. I'm trying to

1718
01:37:27,240 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 1: think what the other great state. There was a stark

1719
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 1: going around somewhere. I don't know if it was an

1720
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:35,479
Speaker 1: actual pole or something, but it had each state who

1721
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:38,240
Speaker 1: they hate the most. Oh really, yes, that would be amazing.

1722
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:41,640
Speaker 1: New Jersey hated everyone, Well, that is Jersey. But we

1723
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,160
Speaker 1: gotta find we gotta find that, because I'm really curious

1724
01:37:44,160 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 1: to see what the There must be some state rivalries

1725
01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:48,680
Speaker 1: and I'm not even particularly probably, you know, not even really,

1726
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, like Nevada and Arizona, or like the Sharks

1727
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:53,040
Speaker 1: and Jets, and they've just got lots of beef, you know,

1728
01:37:54,240 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 1: on whichever side you pick. I don't know, I've never

1729
01:37:56,360 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 1: seen West Side Story. I might actually go the Spring

1730
01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:00,280
Speaker 1: Looks that opened here in New York City did it? Yeah,

1731
01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:02,519
Speaker 1: the Rubay Show. I've never seen the show. I've never

1732
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:06,360
Speaker 1: seen Greece or West Side Story, Like the movies are either. Wow,

1733
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:08,200
Speaker 1: I've never seen either of them, so I might might

1734
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 1: have checked that out. But and I'm sure like right

1735
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:13,599
Speaker 1: now New Hampshire is like, what's up for month? Bring it?

1736
01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:16,040
Speaker 1: Who's got beef with Iowa? That's what I would want

1737
01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:19,799
Speaker 1: to know. There's got to be some state. I think No, Missouri.

1738
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:24,599
Speaker 1: Missouri is probably like, what's up Iowa? Nice caucus he got,

1739
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:26,680
Speaker 1: there'd be a shame if something happens to it. I

1740
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:30,680
Speaker 1: don't know. Andrew, Hey Buck, you mentioned the debt a

1741
01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:33,599
Speaker 1: few days ago, and I'm sure you know most Americans

1742
01:38:33,640 --> 01:38:35,320
Speaker 1: probably think we owe all of our debt to China.

1743
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:38,000
Speaker 1: The fact is only four point one two trillion is

1744
01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 1: held by foreign countries. Then the remaining is debt we

1745
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 1: owe ourselves. I'm not sneezing at four trillion, but I

1746
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:47,759
Speaker 1: think a big misconception is that we owe foreign governments

1747
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:51,280
Speaker 1: twenty three trillion dollars. Just my thoughts for the day.

1748
01:38:51,320 --> 01:38:54,479
Speaker 1: Shield Side Well, Andrew, though it has to do that's

1749
01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:56,720
Speaker 1: that's true. It is that that foreign countries only own

1750
01:38:56,880 --> 01:38:59,400
Speaker 1: a portion of our debt. China has the biggest one,

1751
01:38:59,439 --> 01:39:02,240
Speaker 1: I think Japan and has a trillion or so. And

1752
01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:04,519
Speaker 1: this is by our debt. What they mean is really

1753
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 1: treasuries that they've bought US treasuries, which are promises by

1754
01:39:08,320 --> 01:39:11,160
Speaker 1: the US federal government to pay back with interest people

1755
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:15,840
Speaker 1: that have bought those treasury bonds. The problem is that

1756
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 1: when you know debt is you have to give to

1757
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 1: price into debt the rate at which you're going to

1758
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:22,960
Speaker 1: pay it back. And so if the debt gets too

1759
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:26,400
Speaker 1: large eventually, even if the debt is to ourselves, people wonder, well,

1760
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 1: are we're actually going to be able to pay this?

1761
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:31,160
Speaker 1: And then you have this is the problem with the

1762
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:33,640
Speaker 1: rise of interest rates would be that you have to

1763
01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 1: pay so much back to the debt that is owed

1764
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 1: to stay on time and not have a default, and

1765
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:42,800
Speaker 1: American default that debt would be a big deal, very

1766
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:47,800
Speaker 1: big deal. You end up crowding out other expenditures from

1767
01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:50,200
Speaker 1: the federal government just to pay interest on the debt itself.

1768
01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:54,840
Speaker 1: So it's still a problem. Even you know whoever we

1769
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:57,760
Speaker 1: owe the money to, it still is an issue for

1770
01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:03,080
Speaker 1: a major issue for the financial system. Z with conditioning

1771
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:05,839
Speaker 1: a to Ukraine with that country working to eliminate its corruption.

1772
01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:08,760
Speaker 1: How can PODS ignore a corruption trail leading back to

1773
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 1: the USA? How could PODUS ignore Biden's quid pro quo?

1774
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:16,640
Speaker 1: Not acknowledging Biden's act would be a double standard. It

1775
01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:18,679
Speaker 1: could be presented as yet another mess in the previous

1776
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:21,759
Speaker 1: administration that PODUS needs to address. How is it possible

1777
01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 1: this administration to not use this argument? What are we

1778
01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:33,680
Speaker 1: saying not exactly because they v because they Oh, well,

1779
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:35,840
Speaker 1: I think that they didn't do a good enough job.

1780
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:38,160
Speaker 1: I will agree with you on this year. I think

1781
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 1: you're you're suggesting that the administration didn't do a good

1782
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 1: enough job explaining to people that it was completely legitimate

1783
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:46,439
Speaker 1: to ask about Biden because there was there was clear

1784
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 1: evidence of corruption, or there was plenty of reason to

1785
01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:55,200
Speaker 1: believe to investigate for corruption because people don't pay people

1786
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:58,639
Speaker 1: eighty thousand dollars a month for no reason. All right,

1787
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:03,120
Speaker 1: that's is. And remember, folks, federal prosecutors, just to take

1788
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 1: a step back for a second, federal prosecutors wanted to

1789
01:41:05,640 --> 01:41:12,479
Speaker 1: send former Virginia Governor Bob McDonald's wife to prison. The

1790
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:19,560
Speaker 1: wife to prison for McDonald accepting gifts from a businessman

1791
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:23,120
Speaker 1: in Virginia whom he never did a single and they

1792
01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:26,240
Speaker 1: never even alleged he never did a single official act

1793
01:41:26,320 --> 01:41:29,400
Speaker 1: for him, but he hung out with him and accepted

1794
01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:31,519
Speaker 1: gifts from him, and they wanted to send McDonald to

1795
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,760
Speaker 1: prison and his wife to prison. So when you're a Republican,

1796
01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:38,920
Speaker 1: that's how corruption laws applied. Your wife, who has no

1797
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:41,759
Speaker 1: official duty or role whatsoever, as all of a sudden

1798
01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:45,599
Speaker 1: go to prison for corruption because some rich business guy

1799
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:49,360
Speaker 1: like gave her a watch or center on a vacation. Yeah,

1800
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 1: if you do something, this is where the quid pro

1801
01:41:51,080 --> 01:41:53,679
Speaker 1: quos comes in. Yeah, if you give somebody a fifty

1802
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 1: thousand dollars rolex and then all of a sudden you

1803
01:41:55,960 --> 01:42:00,800
Speaker 1: get a government contract, that's corruption. But it's a lot

1804
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 1: of harder when it's Hey, I really like you, and

1805
01:42:02,520 --> 01:42:05,000
Speaker 1: I gave you a really expensive birthday gift, you know,

1806
01:42:05,040 --> 01:42:06,760
Speaker 1: or I gave an expensive birthday gift to your wife.

1807
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:09,000
Speaker 1: When you're the governor of Virginia, but you've never done

1808
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 1: anything for me of any kind, and no one alleges

1809
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:14,840
Speaker 1: you have, you know, is that Well, that's corruption if

1810
01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 1: you're a Republican. And then you go to prison, your

1811
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:18,559
Speaker 1: life is ruined. But if you're a Joe Biden's son,

1812
01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 1: it's hey man, I'm just like on the boot of

1813
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:24,080
Speaker 1: this company and like you know, I'm just racking out,

1814
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:25,840
Speaker 1: partying with strippers and you know a little bit of

1815
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:30,599
Speaker 1: drugs here and there and why not. So yeah, they

1816
01:42:30,640 --> 01:42:35,120
Speaker 1: didn't do a good enough job arguing about that. You're

1817
01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:38,240
Speaker 1: in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show

1818
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:46,880
Speaker 1: podcast Maureen Rights, Hey Buck, and producer Mark as always,

1819
01:42:46,880 --> 01:42:48,800
Speaker 1: I love you guys. I listen to watch every day

1820
01:42:49,120 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 1: and I find myself missing you terribly on the weekends.

1821
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:54,320
Speaker 1: As a licensed psychotherapist, I can tell you why there's

1822
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:57,400
Speaker 1: pricing discrepancies for medical billing stuff. It used to be

1823
01:42:57,400 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 1: that a medical professional could bill insurance companies and get

1824
01:42:59,880 --> 01:43:04,840
Speaker 1: reimburse their builled fee. But then managed care aka socialized

1825
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:08,839
Speaker 1: medicine came along and started cheating practitioners out of their fees.

1826
01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 1: And about ten or twelve years ago, some exceptionally horrible

1827
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:16,719
Speaker 1: managed care insurance companies started reimbursing practitioners just a mere

1828
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of their fee. That's insane. So this

1829
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,280
Speaker 1: became a real survival thing for practitioners. And made them

1830
01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:28,120
Speaker 1: start billing higher than their normal fee just so they

1831
01:43:28,120 --> 01:43:30,760
Speaker 1: could get closer to getting their actual fee reimbursed to them.

1832
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:33,680
Speaker 1: So the explanation of benefits patients getting the mail will

1833
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:36,720
Speaker 1: often show insanely high fees for various services. And while

1834
01:43:36,720 --> 01:43:39,320
Speaker 1: the high numbers freak people out, it's because they don't

1835
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:42,479
Speaker 1: realize it's a survival ploy just so professionals can get

1836
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:44,840
Speaker 1: paid a tiny fraction of what is listed on the

1837
01:43:44,880 --> 01:43:48,759
Speaker 1: explanation of benefits in hopes of getting their actual fees

1838
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:51,000
Speaker 1: reimburse no more. And I'm actually familiar with this, and

1839
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 1: I know I know people who have told me about

1840
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:59,519
Speaker 1: receiving bills for pretty standard treatment where their insurance will

1841
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:02,479
Speaker 1: get builled a thousand dollars for it, and then they'll

1842
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 1: end up paying They'll end up paying, you know, some

1843
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:10,639
Speaker 1: tiny fraction of that. So they bill for a thousand,

1844
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:13,800
Speaker 1: hoping to get two hundred. But that just goes to

1845
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:15,080
Speaker 1: show you, I mean, this is not the way that

1846
01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:17,679
Speaker 1: should work. This is not the way this game should happen.

1847
01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 1: It should be price transparency. You should know what something costs,

1848
01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:23,800
Speaker 1: you should know what the bill will be. Anything else

1849
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:29,479
Speaker 1: is just nonsense, right. Architecture architecture professor Mark Right. You

1850
01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:32,280
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about, of course I do. You

1851
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 1: should get paid for the work that you do. Correct,

1852
01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:38,920
Speaker 1: come with you, Shane buck love the show. I've been

1853
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:40,600
Speaker 1: a listener for many years now. I've always found your

1854
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:43,280
Speaker 1: analysis very accurate and astute. I look forward to each

1855
01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:45,800
Speaker 1: afternoon when your podcast is released to hear your commentary

1856
01:44:46,120 --> 01:44:49,760
Speaker 1: and take on the day's events. Congratulations on the news

1857
01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:52,320
Speaker 1: show on WR. It is well deserved and you will

1858
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:55,400
Speaker 1: be fabulous. I wanted to get your opinion on school choice.

1859
01:44:55,840 --> 01:44:58,680
Speaker 1: I love the idea, and I've long been a proponent

1860
01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 1: of this idea, even before it became a popular buzzword.

1861
01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:04,200
Speaker 1: At first glance, it seems like a great idea, but

1862
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 1: it comes at tremendous costs to the school district. My

1863
01:45:07,479 --> 01:45:10,720
Speaker 1: father served on our school district board for thirteen years,

1864
01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:13,400
Speaker 1: and when a parent wants to send their child to

1865
01:45:13,439 --> 01:45:16,720
Speaker 1: a charter school, the school district is responsible for one

1866
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the cost. In most cases, this is

1867
01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 1: more than fifty thousand dollars per year per student, and

1868
01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 1: the state and federal government provide little to no funding

1869
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 1: to help out. I find this to be absurd. I

1870
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:33,040
Speaker 1: went to college for far less than this. The parents

1871
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:35,280
Speaker 1: do not directly see this cost, so they think they

1872
01:45:35,320 --> 01:45:38,479
Speaker 1: can send their child to charter schools for free. What

1873
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:40,040
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on how to make this a viable

1874
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:42,840
Speaker 1: program at that price? As at that price it will

1875
01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:48,519
Speaker 1: drive school districts further into debt shields high. Well, let's

1876
01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 1: unpack this to get first of all, Shane, thank you

1877
01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 1: for the kind words. So why is the charter school

1878
01:45:56,040 --> 01:45:59,439
Speaker 1: so expensive? Is a charter school so expensive per pupil

1879
01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:02,240
Speaker 1: because it's not getting enough funding to start out with?

1880
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:05,040
Speaker 1: And is that because the public school is getting a

1881
01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:08,120
Speaker 1: huge amount of funding for administrators and costs that are

1882
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 1: in excess of what is necessary, especially for a school

1883
01:46:11,240 --> 01:46:14,240
Speaker 1: that is presumably failing. So you mean, i'd really have

1884
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:16,360
Speaker 1: to look at the books for any endivident. I don't

1885
01:46:16,360 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 1: know if this is the case at in a lot

1886
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: of school district or if this is just the case

1887
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:23,680
Speaker 1: that your dad on this school board dealt with, But

1888
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all money coming from the taxpayer. So

1889
01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, if you're spending fifteen to twenty thousand dollars

1890
01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:32,120
Speaker 1: per student in a public school, why shouldn't that be

1891
01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:34,519
Speaker 1: able to be Why shouldn't that be the expense for

1892
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:36,920
Speaker 1: a charter school? And if that's not the expense, we'd

1893
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 1: have to figure out why. And I bet if you

1894
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:41,120
Speaker 1: dig deep, you'll find out it's because the public school

1895
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: system is full of graph corruption and waste. But I

1896
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:46,679
Speaker 1: have to leave it there for right now, my friends,

1897
01:46:46,680 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 1: because this show has been amazing, but it's coming to

1898
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:52,400
Speaker 1: a close until tomorrow when we unite again. Shields Hot
