WEBVTT - Romneys Righteous Turncoat Vote 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:16.000 You are entering the freedom hunt. Nancy Pelosi's living in 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:21.160 an alternate universe, mid Romney's righteous turn coat vote, take 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.440 your time, Iowa, no rush, nobody's pushing for the results? 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.159 And what is the reason for the ugliest buildings in 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.320 the world getting built? And can we stop it? That 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:34.240 and more coming up. This is the buck Sexton Show, 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.320 where the mission or mission is to decode what really 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:44.159 matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:49.239 great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins. CIA analysts 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.280 had the state of the Union. As required by the 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.760 Constitution of the United States, the President is to submit 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:07.880 in writing or in person his statement of the State 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.920 of the Union. What happened instead was the President using 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.440 the Congress of the United States is a backdrop for 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.880 reality show presenting a state of mind that had no 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:24.760 contact with reality whatsoever. If there's somebody that has no 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:29.520 contact with reality, it's pretty clear it's Nancy Pelosi. Hey, 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:35.640 he'll hear his press cafference today, Vling and you know 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:40.399 the President and the Pageman, you know, really a bunch 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.319 of blathers. Oh yeah, welcome to the buck Sexton Show. 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.479 I was so excited to talk to you. In case 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.039 you didn't know what show you were listening to, this 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.280 is in fact the Buck Sexton Show. Yeah, Speaker. Speaker 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.040 Pelosi gave a press conference today in which she railed 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.840 against Presidence President Trump's State of the Union, which if 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.840 you look at the data or data if you like 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.560 to go with soft a there, you see that not 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.760 only did Republicans overwhelming you think it was excellent. I 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.280 thought it might have been the best speech of Trump's 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.640 entire presidency, certainly one of the strongest knights, one of 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:20.400 the strongest moments, a pinnacle of Trump's political power and 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.880 the consolidation of the Republican Party behind him so far. 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.080 But if you look at the polls, you'd see that 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:31.440 Independence overwhelmingly thought it was also a really good speech. 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.400 So Republicans and Independence, I think that speech was awesome, 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:39.080 Which means Nancy Pelosi only has one choice. She's got 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.000 a fever, and the only prescription is more crazy, and 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.520 that's what she decided to do. She gave this press 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.320 conference today in which she attacked the President of This 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.200 also is this is a personal feud. This is one 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.280 area I have to say where Trump really excels. One 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.680 of the special skills that this president has is he 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.640 forces his opponents, or he I should say he induces, 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.680 not really he forced. He induces his opponents to show 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:10.160 us the full extent of their duplicity, their dishonesty, their craziness. 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.400 He gets them to come out of their dug in 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.840 fighting position, so to speak, and show us who they 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:21.160 really are. And this has been a feature of Trump, 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:26.799 and Trump is him now for years and so now 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.480 as we look at what has gone on in the 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:36.720 last few days, Nancy Pelosi has had to take preposterous lines, 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:41.560 has had to say absurd things about this president because 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:46.040 her party is in disrepair right now, disarray, but also 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.880 it has become very personal between her and Trump. That 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.680 is increasingly the storyline that is emerging. Trump doesn't like her, 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:55.840 didn't shake her hand at this State of the Union. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.840 She tore up his speech afterwards. And now you could say, oh, 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.560 this is not befitting a presidency. Well, it's also not 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.240 befitting a Speaker of the House. That you could get 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.880 into all the decorum issues. But let's just understand this. 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:12.080 They've been trying to destroy this president for years. They 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.080 don't just want him to lose an election, folks. They 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.520 want to send him to prison, They want to ruin 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.640 his reputation, ruin his life, ruin his family's lives if 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.119 they can. At what point is it just a normal 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.719 human emotion. At what point does he turn into Brett 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:32.279 Kavanaugh with just a parade of lunatic liars coming forward 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.560 to destroy him, and he just lets it out that 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.760 he's mad and this is a sham and it's wrong. 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.440 When is the president allowed to feel that way? When 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:40.960 is the president allowed to say, you know what, I've 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:45.040 had enough. I'm not doing this anymore. I'm not going 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.920 to play nicey nice with Nancy Pelosi after this ridiculous 0:04:51.200 --> 0:05:00.280 scam of an impeachment process. Enough's enough. But Pelosi recogn yes, 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.159 I think she is savvy enough to understand that the 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.280 momentum is all on President Trump's side right now, that 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:10.200 President Trump is in fact the one who is looking 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.240 like he will cruise to a reelection. You know, the 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.680 Drudge Report today is saying a fifty nine point nine 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.159 nine percent chance for reelection, I mean over sixty percent. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.760 And that's before Trump has even really gotten going. That 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.800 State of the Union address was just Trump cracking his 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:31.560 knuckles before he really decides, Sir Walpus leaves and get 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.760 into it for his reelection. And look at the Democrats 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.840 are already running for the hills. They're they're frightened, They're 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.120 oh my gosh, what are we gonna do? And so 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.240 they're just scrambling. Special counsel didn't work. I mean, I 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.679 I've got a piece going up on the Hill dot com. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.800 It's up on the Hill dot com. Rather that just 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:57.160 looks at how to understand impeachment. You have to see 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:02.720 this as another failed Trump removable effort, because there have 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.160 been so many of them. I mean, the two major 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.920 ones have been the Russia collusion all alive by the way, 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:13.000 Russia collusion, Special counsel that was meant to remove Trump, 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.960 perhaps even with criminal charges. I remember at the very 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.160 end they said, oh, well, we can't even charge the president. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.200 But that could have been a fight. They could have 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:25.080 said we would criminally charge him, but we didn't. You know, 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:29.920 he should have been criminally charged. So as you look 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.360 at what's really happened here, they've been rolling out all 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.599 these different reasons to remove the President of the United 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:41.320 States from office. Now, this impeachment over the Ukraine phone call. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.359 They brought up a twenty fifth amendment, They brought up 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:48.479 the emolument's clause, the Stormy Daniels payoff using this disgraced lawyer, 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.679 Michael Cohen. These are all just it's a continued effort 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:56.240 to prevent the one thing that terrifies Democrats more than 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.400 Trump himself, and that is a free and fair election 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.000 in twenty twenty that allows the American people to make 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.400 the choice that they want this president to do this 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:12.680 for another four years. If Trump has already psychologically broken 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.640 many of the Democrats, and I think he has, what 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.760 comes up next? What is the next step? I asked that, 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.560 and it is rhetorical. I don't have an answer I 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.280 can offer up to you. Maybe they're just at full 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.920 throttle crazy and they'll just keep their foot on the 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.960 pedal and it doesn't change. I think that's the most 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:35.880 likely outcome. They've already got the dial on the amplifier 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:41.760 to eleven. It doesn't go any higher. This is spinal 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.560 tap reference for some of you who may not catch that. 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.960 But there's nothing beyond it. There's nothing more for them 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.520 to do. They've already every dirty trick, every narrative, every 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.680 lie all the things that they've tried to do, and 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.720 not only has it not worked, It's not like Trump 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.840 is limping through a presidency that he's you know, his 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:03.840 policies are ineffective, his vision has been stymied and wounded. 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.680 An No, that's not the case at all. Trump is 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:10.320 actually delivered incredibly well. I mean the Job's report that 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.680 just came out this week, it's everything is going in 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.920 the right direction. You even have on the Drudge Report 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.880 right now. And by the way, Drudge has not been 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.560 all that pro Trump recently and last I don't know, 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.680 maybe the last couple of years really, but nine according 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.520 to Gallop, ninety percent of Americans are satisfied with their lives. 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:33.920 This country is in a golden age right now. Other 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.120 people won't tell you this. It's just so much easier 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.959 all you know, the end is near. Oh, it's all 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.600 gonna crash and burn. And yeah, we've got problems. Things 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:45.360 could change, I've got worries, I've got concerns. Bertie Sanders 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:49.960 wins it's gonna change a lot. But Democrats have put 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.120 themselves in a position where they feel they have no 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.960 choice but to oppose what is good and prosperous and 0:08:56.000 --> 0:09:00.320 peaceful and happy for America. They have to pretend that's 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:05.000 not really happening, because how can they achieve power when 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.480 their opposition, when Donald Trump and the Republican Party are 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:12.240 doing a good job of governing. No, they want to 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:16.000 turn the whole country into Los Angeles or San Francisco, 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:18.640 or increasingly here in New York City, which is at 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:23.120 a big spike in crime. I mean, they want to 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:31.719 inflict the policies of socialism, identity politics, wokeism. They want 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.200 to inflict all of that on us, they would say, 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.000 for our own good or because it's the right thing 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.600 to do. And the only way that they can achieve 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.439 the power to do that is to pretend that what's 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.280 already being done by and large. Look, it's not perfect, 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.800 I know that, but what's already being done by the 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.040 government is pretty much on the right track, and the 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.080 government is doing well. The government is doing its job. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:57.080 President Trump is succeeding. And there's no better example I 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.080 can give you of how true this is now and 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:03.840 how it's becoming inescapable, and now Democrats increasingly find themselves 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.960 unable to have a counter narrative. You know, this is 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.560 the common between storms, they'll come up with something. I mean, 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.720 I made a joke on Twitter. I didn't realize how 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.480 funny people would find it that. Just give it a matter, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.400 Just give it a few days, and you'll have a 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:22.160 story in the New York Times about some former senior 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.600 aide to President Trump who thinks that the president has 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.960 deteriorating mental health and is not of sound mind and 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.120 should be removed. You guessed it with the twenty fifth amendment. 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:35.960 And then CNN will put some PhD from who knows 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.000 what university and psychology on air, will say, oh, well, 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.559 if you look at the way President Trump blinked twice 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.079 in that last speech, I mean clearly he might have 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.800 the early signs of dementia. And they'll do this. They'll 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.360 do this because their audience has been conditioned to believe 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:54.040 there's always an ongoing removal effort. They don't treat their 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.600 audience like adults who can recognize we lost the twenty 0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:00.000 sixteen election. That means this guy's president for four years. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.120 See what we can do in the next election. That's 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.200 the adult responsible approach to American politics. Democrats have completely 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.920 abandoned that as a party. They have no interest in 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:15.480 that it's the forever removal campaign against Trump. Remove him 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.839 now today, find a way, whatever you gotta do, get 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:22.439 him out of office. And not only is that destroying 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.080 the very institutions of government that they pretend to care 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.679 so much about, which we've discussed here many times. It's 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.800 very true, but it also requires the negation of how 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:36.920 successful Trump has been. And by the way, I don't 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.840 think it's because Trump is some super genius. I just 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:44.080 think he's not preconditioned. He's not brainwashed by the swamp 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:48.000 and by the policy approach of the elites. He doesn't 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.400 care when people say mean things about him. He just 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.000 does what a normal person would think is probably the 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:58.280 smart thing to do. Trump offers America a common sense 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.840 presidency term you don't hear that much anymore. It is 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:07.200 a common sense presidency. And for many people across the country, 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.120 including a lot of you know who listened to this show, 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.560 you knew that was what was really on offer, and 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.920 that's what we have seen, and that if that was 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:19.280 allowed to happen, it would work out pretty well. You know, 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.200 it's a good thing when you don't have people in 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.400 charge who believe that they can give everybody free healthcare. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:31.000 No one's taxes go up, everyone's medical attention and access 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.640 will improve. And you know, we're all just going to 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:39.479 be living in utopia. It's going to be you know, Xanadu, 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:47.319 Shangri La Nirvana, different places of extreme happiness. You already 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.720 knew that. But that's not the way the world works. 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.520 So Trump looks at the way the world actually works. 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.319 Notice how I haven't even talked about Pierre de Lecto yet. 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.280 I will get to Monsieur Pierre de Lecto, Zimos famis 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:07.400 turn Cult of Ziania Republic Party. We'll get there. Oh, Pierre, 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.200 We're coming for you. Pierre. We got a lot to say. 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.840 But here's the real, the real kicker for me. Pelosi 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.840 today in her press conference, because she's just trying to 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.880 buy the Democrats sometime, trying to reset the narrative in 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:28.400 some way. Pelosi was making the claim that this is 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.760 the Obama economy. That's when you know they're just they're 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:34.720 up against the ropes. Man. I mean, you know, a 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.120 couple more good shots from Trump and the Democrats are 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.280 down for the twenty twenty count. It's the Obama We're 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.480 in the fourth year of a Trump presidency, and it's 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:47.880 the Obama economy. Really, that's that's the story that we're 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.640 supposed to buy into. Now that Trump, who does things 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.120 consistently that Democrats hate, say is terrible, say he's going 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:59.439 to be bad for the economy. The economy is better 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.520 than it has arguably better than it has ever been. 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.520 I mean, the country is certainly wealthier than it has 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:09.760 ever been. And you ask yourself, Okay, what are Democrats 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.680 going to say about this? Oh, now they're back to 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.000 what they tried for the first eighteen months when Trump's 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.000 when Trump's unemployment numbers looked really good, the stock market 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:22.680 was doing really well, it's Obama's It's Obama's economy. Still 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:29.000 he's the reason things are still going so well. Yeah. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.280 That's a really compelling talking point, isn't it. But this 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.560 is this is what you say when you have no answer. 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:35.600 And that's what the Speaker of the House, the most 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:39.000 powerful Democrat right now in elected office in the country. 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.480 That's what she's telling the American people in response that 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.680 state of saying that it was disconnected from reality. Nancy 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.720 Pelosi's disconnected from reality. And I wonder if Nancy's waking 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.480 up with you know, with not a lot of energy 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.160 and some headaches these days, Nancy looks like she is 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.720 not up for this. If we're gonna talk about how 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.080 Joe Biden looks like he's not up for this, I 0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.840 don't think Nancy looks like she's up for this either. 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.760 I don't know if it's just she's getting up there 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:04.640 or if this is a little more self inflicted, but 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:09.120 she looks like she could use some time off because 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:10.840 what she was doing today in that press conference, it 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.040 was just blather. It was actually a little embarrassing to watch. 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.600 She's not embarrassed by it, of course, because whatever she 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.760 thinks will help the Democrats. But that's where we are, folks. 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.280 Just remember that the economy is so amazing right now 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.960 that the Democrat talking point has switched and they'll have 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:28.600 to abandon this because they know it won't work. The 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.240 Democrat talking point has switched to, well, you can thank 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:35.520 Obama for this, Oh yeah, because Obama was such an 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:42.920 economic and free market based genius. Right, you're in the 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:50.240 freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. The 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.600 presiding officer directs judgment to be entered in accordance with 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.800 the judgment of the Senate as follows. The Senate, having 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.400 tried Donald John Trump, President of the United States, upon 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.880 two articles of impatient exhibited against him by the House 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.720 of Representatives, and two thirds of the Senators present, not 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:12.000 having found him guilty of the charges contained therein, It 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.000 is therefore ordered and adjudged that the said Donald John 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:20.000 Trump be and he is hereby acquitted of the charges 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:24.960 in said articles acquitted. The President of the United States, 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:29.760 Donald John Trump, acquitted forever. That is the verdict of 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.000 the Senate. Democrats can say it's not a real acquittal, 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:34.840 but we can just say it's not a real impeachment either. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.960 I mean, this is childish, right, this becomes this becomes stupid, 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.080 this becomes something that's not even worth our time. But 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.160 that's where they're going to go. They're going to just 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.360 pretend that things they don't like don't exist, and the 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.680 things they do like are much more important than they are. 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:57.360 That's where all of this is heading now. I wanted 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.480 to focus in on this point for at first, because 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.440 Democrats have failed in this scheme once again, another scheme 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.280 to remove this president before the verdict of the American 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.320 people through a free and fair election can be heard. 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.320 But so now we have the verdict of a Senate trial. 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.359 The verdict of the Senate trial is that President Trump 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:20.800 is acquitted, not guilty. And there were very, very few 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.359 surprises in this Senate trial. I also first want to 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.960 say Mitch McConnell, good job. They call Mitch McConnell the 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.440 grim Reapers, as if that's going to make people think 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.280 he's less less cool. I don't know if grim Reaper 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.160 is better than cocaine Mitch, but I like both of them. 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.280 Mitch McConnell held it together, held the line. You know 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.200 what he started doing as soon as that sham Senate 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:46.760 trial was over, confirming more excellent constitutionalist judges. That's what 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.760 Mitch McConnell went went back to doing right away, get 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.040 that machinery rolling more and more judges so you can't 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.600 have the hashtag resistance left wing judiciary. So that's a 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.199 big win. Congrats to Mitch McConnell for not falling for 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:03.000 the oh just or witnesses. He learned from the Cavanaugh Debaco. 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.600 We should give credit to politicians who learn, especially when 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.080 they're on our side. But then there's Pierre de Lecto. 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.680 Thanks for listening to the bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.080 to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:22.040 wherever you get your podcasts. You realize this is war. 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.200 Donald Trump will never forgive you for us. There there's 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:28.080 a hymn that is a sign in my church. It's 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.840 an old Protestant hymn, which is to do what is right, 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.000 let the consequence follow. I know in my heart that 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.960 I'm doing what's right. I understand there's going to be 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.800 enormous consequence, and I don't have a choice in that regard. 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:45.679 That's why, that's why I haven't been anxious to be 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.200 in the position I'm in. When I heard there was 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.840 going to be an impeachment investigation, as I heard the 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:54.760 evidence it was coming forward, I dreaded the responsibility I'd have. 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.520 But I was not willing to abvigate the responsibility given 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:02.120 to me by the Constitution, nor to ignore my conscience 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:09.040 out of personal and political significance. I mean considerations. I 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:12.040 mean I had to follow my conscience. Team, I'm going 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.000 to try to make you a deal. Here. We're going 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:20.440 to dive into Pierre de Lecto, also known as mit Romney. 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.240 We're going to dive into this now and I'm going 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:25.160 to hope that we don't really have to talk about 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.320 mid Romney again for the rest of this election cycle, 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.439 and maybe maybe not even enough to talk about him 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.119 again for longer than that on this show, because he 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:36.040 doesn't deserve it. Let's just look at what happened here. 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:41.080 There was an alignment among Republicans. Mitch McConnell had his 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:45.520 caucus in line. Republicans knew this is an outrage. This 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:50.640 whole impeachment is ridiculous. Even if everything the Democrats said 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.120 was true, it's not enough to remove a president from 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.480 off It's not even close. It's a traffic ticket for 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.479 a president who cares. If everything they said was it 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:03.320 was all based on supposition, on lies, on analysis that 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.640 normal people could never believe. Oh it was going there 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:10.080 was no reason to investigate the Bidens lie. Oh it 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:12.600 would have changed the election, and Trump was demanding this, 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.840 and that's illicit lie. I wasn't going to change the election. 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.320 Hillary Clinton and her husband were running a global slush fund, 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.960 taking millions and millions of dollars from the Soudias, from 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:22.879 whomever he wanted to give a speech, I think in 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:26.520 North Korea at one point as long as the money's good, 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.520 but oh no, there was no corruption with the Clinton Foundation. 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.880 That Democrats are willing to pretend that they are total morons, 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:36.200 even dumber than they actually are, in order to get 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.320 away with believing things that we know they don't believe, 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:43.800 but presenting facts in a way that is useful to 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:48.040 them in the short term. So here's what Mitt Romney 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:52.440 has done. Mitt Romney broke ranks with Republicans. Doesn't change anything. 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.040 He voted to convict on abuse of power, not on 0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:00.680 obstruction of Congress, which I should note at least he's 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:02.920 not that dumb. Because Mitt Romney's not a dumb guy, 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:04.359 we can't say he's not a dumb guy at all. 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.760 He obviously understands understands how to be a rapacious capitalist 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.160 and maybe destroy some companies to make himself very, very 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.879 very rich in the process. Fine. Private equity can be 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:16.240 a force for good and also can destroy small towns 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:17.840 and put a lot of people on the unemployment line. 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:19.760 That's the reality of it. I know a lot of 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:21.639 people who worked in private equity. They will tell you 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:25.119 that behind closed doors. Yeah, sure, sometimes it's you know, 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:32.320 creative destruction, and sometimes it's just destruction. But Mitt Romney 0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:37.720 decided that his conscience dictated that he would have to 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:41.800 go along on the abuse of power charge and join 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:49.320 the insane, power mad, deranged anti Trump Democrats in the 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:54.680 Senate and give them the only, the only glimmer of 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:57.480 a silver lining that they've had all week. I mean, 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:02.120 Democrats have just been getting shellack right now. Trump's State 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:04.600 of the Union was huge. The Iowa caucuses, we'll talk 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:06.919 more about. Still don't know who one, still don't know. 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:11.440 Don't worry Iowa. It's cool, kick back, relax, come out 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:16.679 to the coast, have a few laughs. Iowa doesn't have 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:18.520 to rush right who at this point, who even cares 0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:20.760 who wins? They they they're already talking about New Hampshire. 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:23.359 We'll dig into it a little bit. It looks like 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.560 Bernie Sanders probably is going to be the guy who 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:27.479 wins in the end as I go on air here, 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:29.840 But Buddha Judge is very close and some people said 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.080 he was the winner, and you know it's not the 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:34.240 winners Joe Biden. But we'll get there. We'll get there. 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:40.800 So why did Mitt Romney do this? Let's really let's 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:45.240 unpack this for a moment. It has no effect on 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:48.840 the president whatsoever. It doesn't do anything. So it's a 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:53.600 vote that's entirely for show. It's a show vote, so 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:59.520 mitt Romney can show vote. This was about moral preening, 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:03.359 because otherwise I would want to know for example, I mean, 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:06.840 let's really break this down. Why would mit Romney demand 0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:09.200 that he needed more witnesses, which was what we're hearing 0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:11.760 from him last week. Oh I need more witnesses. I 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:15.960 need to see more witnesses. If you're a juror in 0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:17.639 a murder trial, which I know this is not a 0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:19.719 criminal trial, which is why this whole thing. Also, at 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:21.600 the end of the day, it's just a political exercise. 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:26.600 It's entirely political, but it is in fact the definition 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.160 of political. But if you're a juror in a murder trial, 0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:32.359 you don't say, you know, I really need to hear 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:36.480 from a lot more witnesses and a lot more evidence. 0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:38.959 And then when you're told sorry, there are no more 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:42.120 witnesses at evidence, you go, oh, well, I'm totally sure 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.479 this person's guilty. If you're totally sure they're guilty, why 0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:49.240 do you need more witnesses and evidence if you've already 0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:51.080 called if you can come to that conclusion with the 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:54.960 evidence already presented, why would you demand to see more evidence? 0:23:56.480 --> 0:24:00.280
