We will break down where this 4 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: is all heading.

Their usual 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: smear tactics and underhanded nonsense at work.

It is buck Sexton. No. Moderate 15 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: is not a stance. It's just an attitude toward life 16 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: of like we've become so cynical that that we view 17 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: me or we view cynicism as an intellectually superior attitude, 18 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: and we view ambition as youthful naivete Welcome to the 19 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. There you had it from the de 20 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: facto messaging leader. To be sure of the Democratic Party 21 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: AOC that moderation is not a stance. Moderate is not 22 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: a stance. Now we have words to describe people like 23 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: what AOC is describing somebody who does not view there 24 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: to be such a thing as moderate and to think 25 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: that extreme ambition when it comes to remaking society from 26 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: young people is something to be wary of. We call 27 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: them radicals, and we are dealing with a radical and 28 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: radicalizing even more Democrat Party, and we need to be 29 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: very clear about that. We see this in the pronouncements 30 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: from Capitol Hill, we see this on the various left 31 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: leaning news outlets and channels out there. We are these 32 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: people are not looking to win us over. They don't 33 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: even care what you think. They just want the power 34 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: to make you do what they want to make you do. 35 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: If they have that authority. If they have that ability, 36 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: everything else just falls into place. Your opinion does not 37 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: matter to them. They are not reaching out to you. 38 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: They don't care what your view of never mind the 39 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: direction of the country should be your own life, how 40 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: much freedom, how much liberty, what protections of rights should 41 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: you have? Your opinion is irrelevant to them because they 42 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: are radicals because you are in the way of the revolution. 43 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: My friends, Bernie Sanders, in the last select you would 44 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: talk about a political revolution, and that is certainly what 45 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: we are facing now, although history will tell you that 46 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: political revolutions can turn into more than just that very quickly, 47 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: and I certainly don't ever hope that would happen here. 48 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: But we are on the cusp of a political revolution 49 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: toward socialism and the hard left. That's how you can 50 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: have somebody who is beloved, beloved in the media saying 51 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: things like this, Polity cliff two. Capitalism isn't to me 52 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: is it's an ideology of capital. It puts capital the 53 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: most important thing is the concentration of capital, and it 54 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: means that we seek and prioritize profit and the accumulation 55 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: of money above all else, and we seek it at 56 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: any human and environmental cost. That is what that means. 57 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: And to me, that ideology is not sustainable and cannot 58 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: be redeemed. Let's just take a moment there, take a beat. Here. 59 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: You have the most celebrated and beloved left wing democrat 60 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: in the country right now, who is not yet thirty 61 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: years old and is a shockingly ignorant person, but stating 62 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: outright that the ideology of ideology of capitalism is not 63 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: sustainable and cannot be redeemed. Essentially, we cannot continue with capitalism, 64 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: and we cannot try or should not try to fix 65 00:04:54,520 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: capitalism either cannot be redeemed. Now this could be news 66 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: to a world that has seen a reduction in poverty 67 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: because of capitalism that would one hundred years ago I 68 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: have seen completely impossible. And since nineteen ninety the number 69 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: of human beings living in extreme poverty, which is less 70 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: than two dollars a day, has globally declined, my friends, 71 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: by two thirds. By two thirds, you are talking about 72 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of people who are no longer living 73 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: in extreme poverty, and all along the various strata of 74 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: socioeconomic positions across the world of people that are also 75 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: now closer and closer to the middle cloob we would 76 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: consider a middle class life, closer and closer to specialization 77 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: and higher levels of education. And the world is getting 78 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: wealthier and richer all the time, and it is because 79 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: of the underlying ideology of capitalism that is the engine 80 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: for this growth. Where is all the growth happening, Where 81 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: where is the where is the the the economic boom 82 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: really occurred. People say, oh, book, yeah, it's America, Sure, 83 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: it's it's it's in Europe, a lot of productic and euse, 84 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: the biggest economy in the world. Let you look at 85 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: China and vet I say, yeah, guess what China looked 86 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: at capitalism said, Okay, there's some good ideas here. We 87 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: should probably do that. We're not going to do democracy 88 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: and political representation, but we are going to try to 89 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: have the effective deployment of capital capital via market mechanisms 90 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: instead of pure central planning, and we are going to 91 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: have the profit motive for people who are running businesses. 92 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: This is why you have a lot of billionaires in 93 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: China now. So capitalism works, my friends, in China, You've 94 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: had tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people 95 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: over the last hundred years brought out in China loan, 96 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: brought out of poverty. But she wants to throw this 97 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: all away in part, I think out of a deep ignorance. 98 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: She just does not understand really what this is. She 99 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: does not know and all of her life she's been 100 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: around people in the social justice movement and on the 101 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: far left fringe which now runs the Democratic Party, so 102 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: I suppose it's not really a fringe anymore. Who have 103 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: been clapping for her and telling her all these platitudes, 104 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: all this mind numbing banality about workers and capitalism and 105 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: this very superficial teen Vogue magazine understanding of Marxism. They've 106 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: been clapping for her, telling her that this is brilliant, 107 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: and that she's brilliant, and everything that she does is great, 108 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: everything we've done is great. I mean, that's how she 109 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: can say things like this, For example, Clip four. We 110 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: have created artificial scarcity, and that is why we are 111 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: driven to work eighty hours a week when we are 112 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: being our most productive at any point in American history. 113 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: And so we you know, we should be working the 114 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: least amount we've ever worked if we were actually paid 115 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: based on how much wealth we were producing. But we're not. 116 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: We're paid on how little we're desperate enough to accept, 117 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: and then the rest is skimmed off and given to 118 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: a billionaire. I mean, this is just anybody with even 119 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: a basic understanding of economics should pull their hair out 120 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: there and say, oh, oh my gosh, you're gonna have 121 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: this person in charge. The wealth we're producing is skimmed 122 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: off and given to a billionaire. I mean, this is 123 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: just the billionaire as boogieman trope that Bernie Sanders uses 124 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: and Okazi Cortez uses, and they don't care that it's 125 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: it's connection to realities tenuous at best, Right, you know, 126 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: there's no question about it. Tenuous at best and in 127 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: most cases just completely absurd. So we should be working, 128 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: we be getting the full amount of wealth will we create. 129 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: If the market does not create that wealth, then what does? 130 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: As in, if wages are not a function of market forces, 131 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: then who determines what wages are? The government? Central planning, 132 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: a central committee. Even you start to see where all 133 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: this is going. No, it's not that you'll be paid 134 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: what an employer wants to pay you based upon their 135 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: need for your labor and the productivity they think they 136 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: will get from that labor. No, the government should make 137 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: those determinations for that employer. You have to start asking 138 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: questions like why is an AOC then for a fifty 139 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: dollar minimum wage? Why not a fifty dollar minimum wage? 140 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: It's just about the productivity that you create. Right, she 141 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: doesn't understand that there are profit margins involved here, There 142 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: are costs of production there's rent for the office, for 143 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: the facility, for the manufacturing plan, whatever we're talking about here. 144 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: Their input costs as well. She just thinks that the 145 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: money comes from like the magic money ferry, and gets 146 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: distributed to people based upon where the government says the 147 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: money ferry should take. It has a just not even 148 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: a novices understanding of this, and she is the fact 149 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: that she can go on TV and say these things 150 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: and people aren't openly mocking her on both sides of 151 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: the aisle just goes to tell you that there's nothing, 152 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: nothing here that the left is willing to There's nothing 153 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: the left will draw a line on. They'll just let 154 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: her keep running off and saying this stuff. As long 155 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: as their party, you know, looks young and has you know, 156 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: and has this appealing spokesperson for leftist leftist ideology and 157 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: leftist policies, they don't care. They're going to be fine 158 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: with that. They're gonna be fine with the open embrace 159 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: of not just things that have Marxist twanged to them, 160 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: but are openly Marxist. That's where we've gone now. It 161 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: has not taken very long. And Bernie Sanders is right 162 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: when he says that the Democrats. Socialist in twenty sixteen 163 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: didn't win the primary, but he won the Democratic Party. 164 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party is now completely embracing ideas that even 165 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: ten years ago we thought were just wacko. Here's Bernie saying, 166 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: and Bernie's right, play six ideas that seem so very 167 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: radical at that time. Well, today, virtually all of those 168 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: ideas are supported by a majority of the American people, 169 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: and they are being supported by Democratic candidates from school 170 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: board to President of the United States. Now he's playing 171 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: fast and loose with the truth there because yes, people 172 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: like the idea of medicare for all, because medicare sounds good. 173 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: Because people don't understand that medicare is going to bankrupt. 174 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: It is on a trajectory to eventually bankrupt this country. 175 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: No one ever wants to say it or talk about it. 176 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: But I mean, we're you know, we're what happens when 177 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: we're thirty trillion in debt, We're heading there, We're gonna 178 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: get there. How about fifty trillions in debt? You think 179 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: at some point it's too much? What happens, what interest 180 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: rates rise? What does that do to the rest of 181 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: the productive economy? We have to just keep paying off 182 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: money that we've already been paying off the barring costs 183 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: for money that we've already borrowed. But as long as 184 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: you don't tell people that you're going to have to 185 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: raise the taxes in the middle class, you know what, 186 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: a fifty sixty percent, then you maybe you can get 187 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: Medicare for all at least for a while. The government 188 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: will start to break down. The system won't work, people 189 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: won't get care in a timely fashion. You know. Then 190 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: they're going to say, oh, well, why do we have 191 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: Medicare for all which has cost sharing and which does 192 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: not cover all necessary treatments and states kicking money for 193 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: there's That's then Medicare becomes single pair. Obamacare was to 194 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: get us to Medicare for all, Medicare for all us 195 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: to get us a single pair. This is the plant 196 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: is where the Democratic Party is. And to put people 197 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: in charge of decision making for businesses, for the economy 198 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: who don't know a darned thing. I mean, are just buffoons. 199 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: That should be troubling, That should be troubling to people 200 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: as just as Americans. I mean that should be troubling 201 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: to us as people that want the best for our country. 202 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: This does go beyond typical partisan lines in some ways, 203 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: because if you have someone who adopts AOC's philosophy in 204 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: the White House, which means Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and 205 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: who knows who else. Sanders is the number two Democrat 206 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: right now in the polls, Biden is number one, which 207 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: I think I don't You've been hearing it here for 208 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: a while. I don't think is going to be anything 209 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: near the the the threat to win this thing that 210 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: the left thinks he is. I just I just don't 211 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: see it. I just don't see it. But Bernie or 212 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: somebody who adopts Bernie's platform, it's just maybe a little younger, 213 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: a little a little more, a little more pep in 214 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: their step. Now you have a full on socialist is 215 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: president of the United States, and think about the way 216 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: that Barack Obama went around the Congress and really abuse 217 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: presidential power, and what the next one who's an open 218 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: socialist might do. These are interesting times to be alive, 219 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: but they are also consequential times for this nation, my friends, 220 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: So we need to keep a focus on this thing. 221 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: I want to talk a little more about where this 222 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: We're not going to impeach Trump effort what I think 223 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: about That also will be joined by my buddy Raheem 224 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: Kassam about the assaults on Tucker Carlson's career that's underway 225 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: right now from the Media Matters, which is just one 226 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: of the most despicable organizations in public life in this country. 227 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: It really is. But we'll talk about where that goes 228 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: and what's going to happen there. Also, I'm trying to 229 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: think of a little more on the ilhan Omar controversy, 230 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: although I think we've pretty much I think we get it. 231 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: Democrats don't really have standards. They just have temporary tantrums 232 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: that help them politically, and they'll throw them when it's 233 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: a Republican and they'll throw up roadblocks when it's a 234 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: Democrat that's in trouble. More of all that coming up. 235 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: So I think it is a mistake, and I've said 236 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: along that I don't think Bob Muller should rely on 237 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: written answers. When you get written answers from a witness, 238 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: it's really the lawyer's answers as much as the client's answer. 239 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: I also think that the Special Council feels some time 240 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: pressure to conclude his work and knowing that the White 241 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: House would drag out a fight over the subpoena. I 242 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: do think ultimately it's a mistake, because probably the best 243 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: way to get the truth would be to put the 244 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: present under oath, because, as he's made plain in the past, 245 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: he feels it's perfectly fine to lie to the public. 246 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: Shifty shift is a disgrace to Congress. Unfortunately, he's not 247 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: alone among Democrats who are disgraces to Congress. So I 248 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: don't think we're going to see some ground swell to 249 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: primary him or get him out soon, because he is 250 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: the probe Muller Probe attack dog for the left. And 251 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: that's why when he starts to do these things, when 252 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: he criticizes says, oh, the Muller probe shouldn't rely on 253 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: written answers and they need to get Trump under oath, 254 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: he's setting up the the out clause for when the 255 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: Muller probe does not get a left what has been 256 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: promised all along here, he's setting that up. He's setting 257 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: it up so that when it turns out there was 258 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: no collusion, he can say, well, if only they had 259 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: done the following things, maybe would we would have gotten 260 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: the answers. Because you see Shift knows better than Mueller does. 261 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: He wants you to believe how to get these answers 262 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: and get to the truth, because the only truth has 263 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: to be that Donald Trump is terrible. Donald Trump is 264 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: an evil, bad man, and they must destroy Drumf however 265 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: they can, whenever they can. That's all that matters to them. Dersh, 266 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: on the other hand, is saying, yeah, of course the 267 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: president shouldn't sit down for a perjury trap interview with 268 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: the just insanely aggressive headhunters of the Muller Probe played thirteen. 269 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: I think it was the right decision made by Trump's 270 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: lawyers to answer questions and not to allow the client 271 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: to fall into a perjury trap. Remember, a perjury trap 272 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: can result from giving truthful testimony. If the President gave 273 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: absolutely truthful testimony and Michael Cohen contradicted him, and the 274 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: prosecutors decided to believe Michael Cohen, that would be a 275 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: perjury trap. So I see no reason for the president 276 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: to sit down to have a live testimony. He's not 277 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: going to do it. That was made clear right in 278 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: the beginning. And so this is just a political tactic, 279 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: that's all it is. But you know, that's all this 280 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: has been all along. This is a political tactic. The 281 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: damage that has been done to this country and to 282 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: our sense of fairness and decency and fair play from 283 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: within the Justice Department because of the left's freak out, 284 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: because Hillary loss of twenty sixteen election. It's hard to 285 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: overstate how much damage has really been done. We are 286 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: going to be living with this for a long time, 287 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: and I think that the deterioration is going to continue. 288 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: But we've got much more coming up. Team, stay with me. 289 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: I think a perfect example of how special interests and 290 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: the powerful have pitted white working class Americans against brown 291 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: and black working class Americans in order to just screw 292 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: over all working class Americans is Reaganism in the eighties 293 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: when he started talking about welfare queens. He's painting this photo. 294 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: He's painting this like really resentful vision of essentially black 295 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: women who were doing nothing that were sucks on our country. 296 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: Colin Reagan a racist more or less pitting white working 297 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: class people against other working class people of people of 298 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: other ethnicities. This is going to be our task fighting 299 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: back against the lies of Okazio Cortez. Is she smart, No, 300 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: she is not smart. Does she know what she's talking about. No, 301 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: she does not. Is she and ignoramus? Absolutely she is? 302 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: Is she powerful? Is she dangerous? Unfortunately, answer to those 303 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: questions are both yes. She is someone who we do 304 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: not have the luxury of pushing aside, ignoring. I'm telling you, 305 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: if she were old enough right now, they would have 306 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: her run for president and it would be interesting because 307 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: the media is so remember they were a little bit 308 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: and you're going to see a lot of this over 309 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: the course of the twenty twenty election. There was a 310 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: little bit of a sense of the media could they 311 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: knew that Hillary was going to win and so, and 312 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: they thought they could kind of just haha a Trump. 313 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: But yeah, they tried to take him down with the 314 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,479 Speaker 1: Billy Bush and some other stuff, but they thought they 315 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: were in really good shape. This time around, they will 316 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: be in a full on panic and do any and 317 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: they will be hysterical to do anything to make sure 318 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump does not win. And if they could 319 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: have someone like an AOC, they would hold her up 320 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: and there would be no there would be nothing that 321 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: she could do or say that they would not find 322 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: some way to either make it, make it fine, or 323 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: you know, tell us that she didn't say it. Whatever 324 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: they have to do. She's not the only one, though. 325 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren is really running on a socialist, anti capitalist message, 326 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: and she's concerning two play clip five. What I'm saying 327 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: is we've got to break these guys apart. You want 328 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: to run a platform, that's fine. You don't get to 329 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: run a whole bunch of the businesses as well. You 330 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: want to run a business, that's fine, you don't get 331 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: to run the platform. Who is the federal government to 332 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: tell these companies I have to do that? There's anti 333 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: trust small It's been around for more than a hundred years, 334 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: and the federal government has done this many times. I 335 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: believe in markets, the markets that work, markets that have 336 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: a cop on the beat and have real rules and 337 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: everybody follows them. I believe in a level playing field. 338 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: So if you get labeled as a socialist, well it's 339 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: just wrong. It's not wrong. But notice how they're going 340 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: to walk away from the label. Because the Democrats always 341 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: have to hide their true intentions to the American public, 342 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: whether it's Warren or AOC. They will tell us they 343 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: are something other than that which they are. They will 344 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: advocate for socialist policies, but they will say that they 345 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: are just Democrats who are trying to get a fair 346 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: deal for America or whatever it may be. We are 347 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: in for quite a fight with the far left in 348 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: this country, and we are just in the early stages 349 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: of it. The debate. When you're you're saying something that's 350 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: just patently untrue, I mean, obviously stating their policy positions. 351 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: Democrats don't Democrats don't hate you wish people. It's just silly, 352 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: it's not true. I think it should call out their 353 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: members by name, and we've made that clear. I don't 354 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: have anything president but president after Charles Will saying that 355 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: there are very fine people on both sides in Charlottesville, 356 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: essentially suggesting that there are very fine people in the Nazis, 357 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: That's not at all what the President was saying. Not then, not, 358 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: not at any point. The President has been incredibly clear 359 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: and consistently and repeatedly condemned hatred, bigotry, racism in all 360 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: of its forms, whether it's an America or anywhere else, 361 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: and to say otherwise is simply untrue. A Costa doing 362 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: his usual pundit slash journo thing there, I pretending to 363 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: be a pundit, but really having an argument with the 364 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: CNN senior CNN correspondent. By the way, what's his name, 365 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: Jeff Zucker, My old buddy. He just come out, He 366 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: just came out of the weekend and just threw Fox 367 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: News on the bus. Says Fox News a propaganda network. 368 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: Says that it's hurting the country essentially, it's a bad place. 369 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: Says that the good journalist at Fox News should get 370 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: no credit for being there, even though they're doing good 371 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: work because they're at Fox News. So you know, Brett 372 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 1: bar and Martha McCallum and Chris Wallace and others who 373 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: were over there, they don't get a pass because they 374 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: work at Fuck. This is the head of CNN, folks, 375 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: And we're in the middle of a media war. That's 376 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: what this is. It's a media war that is ramping 377 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: up even more because the twenty twenty election. But this 378 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: is no longer about different views and opinions and we're 379 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: all journos and just sharing information environment democracy. This is 380 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: destroyed the other side crush my enemies by ruining their careers, 381 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: by getting them fired, by defaming them publicly. That's what 382 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: we're up against here. And that's also why you know, 383 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: Jim Acosta is trying so very hard to make it 384 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: seem like well last week because you know, the left 385 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: hated that, you know, Ilahan Omar caused this problem for 386 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: them where she said stuff that's just it is anti semitic. 387 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: I mean, those are the rules. The rules are what 388 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: she said are anti semitic. I mean, we could say 389 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: that we're going to change what we considered to be 390 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: anti semitic, but it was too late for them, right 391 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: with it. She said stuff that's anti semitic. Dual loyalty 392 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: and control of money, and control of the world through money, 393 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: and all this stuff that she said about the Jews 394 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: and about Israel that is classic anti Semitic stuff, and 395 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: the Left couldn't really get around it. And so what 396 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: they've now managed to do with this attack on Tucker 397 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: Carlson and then with the which I'll tell them more. 398 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: I'll talk to you more about that, and we'll have 399 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: my friend, right he Kassam joining to get into that. 400 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: But the attack on Tucker and this effort to focus one, 401 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I've heard so many times from the left 402 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: whenever the left really gets in trouble, there's good Charlottesville. 403 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: They just started yelling about Charlottesville all the time. But 404 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 1: here's what the President said about the Charlottesville protesters. I mean, 405 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: we pulled this audio just to be sure, play eighteen. 406 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: And you had people and I'm not talking about the 407 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: neo Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be 408 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: condemned totally, but you had many people in that group 409 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: other than neo Nazis and white nationalists, okay, and the 410 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now in the other group, also, 411 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers. 412 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: And you see them come with the black outfits and 413 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: with the helmets and with the baseball bats got You 414 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: had a lot of bad You had a lot of 415 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: bad people in the other So I always thought, and 416 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: I could be wrong here, that what Trump was trying 417 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: to speak to is that initially this whole fight in 418 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: Charlottesville was about pulling down a monument, and I think 419 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: Trump was speaking to that there are in the debate 420 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: over pulling down monuments good people on both sides of 421 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: that issue. And I think that's a fair point because 422 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: I can see, you know, I see both side, depending 423 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: on the circumstances inside. I can at least see both 424 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: sides of the argument. I tend to be very opposed 425 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: to destroying history, but I also think that, you know, 426 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of hypocrisy on the rights sometimes, 427 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: and we applaud people that will pull down a statue 428 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: of Lenin and say, isn't that great? But then if 429 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: somebody pulls down a statue in this country, we're told, 430 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: you know, well, depending what the statue is, people say, well, 431 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: you shouldn't do that. That's our history. Well should it 432 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: be in a museum or should it be in a 433 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: public park. That's not the same thing. I'm just saying 434 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: that there is an argument we had here. I don't 435 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: think that he was trying to say that there are 436 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: any good neo Nazis. But that is what the left 437 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: has always turned this turned this into, and that's the 438 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: way that they've tried to continuously. I mean, that is 439 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: the number one talking point that the left will go 440 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: to to really undermine not just Trump, at any of 441 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: his supporters. And they really will say that Trump is 442 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: a supporter of neo Nazis and white nationalists. This is 443 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: where they go. This is they think the single most 444 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: powerful rebuke of this president. I think is crazy Trump 445 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: is not not somebody who anybody who knows him, anybody 446 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: who's lived, lived, you know, around him with him, you know, 447 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: is not a racist and a neo Nazi supporter in 448 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: the way that the left holds him out to be. 449 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: But look at what we've already done here. They've shifted 450 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: the conversation away from what a Democrat who is a black, 451 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 1: female Muslim and a refugee who came to this country, 452 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: so she's got all of this stuff that they will 453 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: they will defend her, and she's to be defended because 454 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: of these things and not held to the same standard 455 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: that say, a white male Republican would be. And we 456 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: all just know that that's true. But instead of talking 457 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: about that, we're here having a conversation once again about 458 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: Trump and Charlottesville. And this is where Jim Acosta. It's 459 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,959 Speaker 1: just so easy, isn't it. Anytime you want to get 460 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: a standing ovation from the left wing CNN crowd, you 461 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: just have to say something about Charlottesville. And yeah, by 462 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: the way, Huck Sanders spoke about Omar's comments, I thought 463 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: that this was a good overview of the subject. From 464 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: her play nineteen, the President's been an unwavering and committed 465 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: ally to Israel and the Jewish people. And frankly, the 466 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: remarks that have been made by a number of Democrats 467 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: and failed to be called out by Democrat leadership is 468 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: frankly abhorrent and it's sad, and it's something that should 469 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: be called by name. It shouldn't be put in a 470 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: watered down resolution. That should be done the way the 471 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: Republicans did it. When Steve King made terrible comments, we 472 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: called it out by name. We stripped him of his 473 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: committee memberships, and we'd like to see Democrats follow suit. 474 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: No consequences for Elano Omar. We all know that's the case. 475 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: And the resolution the Democrats voted on was just it 476 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: was just all kinds of hate is bad. We don't 477 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: like hate. We don't need the Democrat members of Congress. 478 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: We don't need any members of Congress to tell us 479 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: that hate is bad, Thank you very much. We've we've 480 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: already got that figured out. But to leave congresswoman to leave. 481 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: She took it a step further here and even was 482 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: willing to blame Islamophobia for the way that people reacted 483 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: to Omar's anti semitism Plate twenty this past week. I 484 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: feel and I know this would be somewhat shocking for some, 485 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: but I think Islamophobia is very much among the Democratic 486 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: Party as well as the Republican Party. And I know 487 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: that's hard for people to hear, but there's only been 488 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: four members of Congress that of Muslim faith. Three of 489 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: them currently serve in this institution. More of us need 490 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: to get elected, but more of us need to understand 491 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,959 Speaker 1: as we come into this institution that I have a 492 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: lot of work to do with my colleagues. So you 493 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: think Democrats have some Islamophobia and not get the root 494 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: of some in this concert, I think our country is 495 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: struggling with it. What the left is really going to 496 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: struggle with is how much anti Semitism there is in 497 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: the Islamic world and how that translates into Islamic discourse 498 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: among some even in this country. The left doesn't have 499 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: an answer for that one. That's going to be an interesting, 500 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: continuing source of friction and conflict. For now, it might 501 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: be it might be an easy way to get past 502 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: the issue for them to say, oh, it's Islamophobic, and 503 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: that's why Rashida to I mean ilhan Omar was getting 504 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: in trouble this past week. But from what we know, 505 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: anybody would have gotten in trouble for Ilhan Omar said, 506 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: anybody would have Illanomar gotten a lot less trouble. So 507 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how that's an Islamophobic issue. If anything, 508 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: it's a special consideration of the fact that she is Islamic. 509 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna talk about the Tucker Carlson controversy with 510 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: Media Matters coming up here in just a minute, and 511 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: I just I just do want to say that there 512 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: are some of these groups out there, and the left 513 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: really excels in this area. They really put a lot 514 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: of resources in this where they have people whose only 515 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: careers are the destruction of other people's careers in media. 516 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: I mean that what they do, they're just out they're 517 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: leftists who are hunting for scalps. And I find the 518 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: people who work for those organizations to be disgusting. I 519 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: find people who work for Media Matter for America and 520 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: people who are in the more aggressive components of move 521 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: on dot org. And I can't even name all these 522 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: different groups, I mean all, but these are some of 523 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: the ones that are out there. They are just absolutely 524 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: disgraceful and the people who work in them should be ashamed. 525 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: Of what they do day in and day out. I mean, 526 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: can you imagine what a total loser you have to 527 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: be to sit around and listen to radio interviews at 528 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson did ten years ago, so that you can 529 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: hope today you can create enough outrage to drive sponsors 530 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: away from his show so that he'll be fired. As 531 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: if that's going to stop, As if that's going to 532 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: stop anything. Man, I think Tucker is actually very very 533 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: good at his job, and as you know, I like Tucker. 534 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: But they put another talented conservative in that spot at 535 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,959 Speaker 1: eight o'clock, and that person's going to have three million 536 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: people a night watching them and driving the national conversation 537 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,479 Speaker 1: on the right. And you know the list. I mean, 538 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: I could name a dozen people off top of my 539 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: head who would do it very well. I mean, whether 540 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: you think they do it as well as Tucker or 541 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: not's a different issue. But this doesn't solve anything. This 542 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: is just petty, vindictive spite from the left that is 543 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: just full of people who are so unhappy and so indecent. 544 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: And I would say they're sad, but it's increasingly hard 545 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: for me to have sympathy for them because they're destructive 546 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: and they're sadistic, and they want people to get fired, 547 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: and they want to call people racist when they know 548 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: they're not really racist. They want to hold people, you know, 549 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: up for ridicule, to drag them on social media, to 550 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: mock them on their own shows, and to do these 551 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: fraudulent AstroTurf campaigns to make advertisers get scared. You know, 552 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: this is really common on the left. They really embrace this, 553 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: and it's just these people have no honor. It's one 554 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: of the things I can't decide if it makes me 555 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: want to, you know, leave this business, or if it 556 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: makes me want to fight even harder some days because 557 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: the individuals that are involved in this, the people that 558 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: work for David Brock and people that used to work 559 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: at Gawker, for example, which was just out there to 560 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: just slam and destroy people and humiliate them. I don't 561 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: know how these people sleep at night, you know. And 562 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: some of what you see even from these left wing groups, 563 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: you know, the Young Turks and the Daily Cos and 564 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: these are just bad people with no decency, integrity, mercy, honor. 565 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: They're just not worthwhile human beings. They need to do 566 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: a lot of work on themselves, and that's the backdrop 567 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: for for me the Tucker comments, which I will freely admit, 568 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: I was surprised that Tucker said them, and I don't 569 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: think that they were good or funny comments. You will 570 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: never hear me and have never heard me, nor will 571 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: you ever hear me making similar comments on a show 572 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: of any kind. But but you know, Tucker made some 573 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: choices back in the day, and I stand behind his 574 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 1: decision not to cave to the outrage mob, not to 575 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 1: give in to these people who don't want an apology 576 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: if they just want to destroy him. So why does 577 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: he have to humiliate himself? Why should he have to 578 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: set up the scaffolding and the news so to speak 579 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: for his own career? No, no, I'm sorry. If he 580 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: goes out, if he goes down, he should do so 581 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: standing up and fighting, just like how I say to 582 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: all you, I fiver go out, I fiver go down. 583 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,919 Speaker 1: Damn it.

They have gone after this time, 605 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson going back, I think over a decade and 606 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: having their little minions listen to interviews that Tucker gave 607 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: on a shock jock radio show in which he said 608 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: some things that were definitely inappropriate. Definitely don't agree with 609 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: the sentiments that he that he shared, but it was 610 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: also ten years ago he was on a shockjock radio show. 611 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: And who really cares and I mean that of the 612 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: honest sense, who cares about this other than the people 613 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: who are trying to use this as an opportunity to 614 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: destroy Tucker Carlson. I've taken the position very publicly and 615 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: gotten a lot of heat for this that we now 616 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: live in a world where if you apologize, you just 617 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,319 Speaker 1: give them more ammunition against you. That you should only 618 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: apologize if your own conscience, your own sense of honor 619 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: requires it. That apology does not get you anything from 620 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: the other side, there's no good faith. But I want 621 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: to bring on a friend of mine who's also a 622 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: fighter out there on the front lines for conservatism and 623 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: against this leftist lunacy. Raheim Kasam joins us now.

Raheem Thank you, Buck, I really appreciate that. 627 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: So everybody can check out the new the New Human 628 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: Events on human events dot com. First, Rahein, what do 629 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 1: you think about this Tucker? What do you think about 630 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: this Tucker controversy? Yeah, Look, I mean I'm somebody and 631 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: I suppose I can't do it on your show. But 632 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm somebody who I suppose X and jets quite a 633 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: lot in the in the British tradition of linguistics, and 634 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: in the tradition of an up. Sorry about the background noise, 635 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm hearing Terry Washington, DC UM. In 636 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 1: our tradition, you use it as a as a as 637 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: a device for emphasis. You use it as a device 638 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: by which you can lay claim to some irony as 639 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: part of the conversation. Now, since the since the sixties 640 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: of the seventies, you've had this liberal push for having 641 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: more leeway in that regard. I mean, we all remember 642 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: George Harland the seven dirty words you can't say on television. 643 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: We've heard Joe Biden talking about Obamacare is a big 644 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,439 Speaker 1: effing deal. You know, you've seen it all. Now, when 645 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: the right does it, especially the right who were raised 646 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: under those liberal decades of power in terms of culture, 647 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: which by the way, was still in Apparently it's unacceptable now. 648 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: I didn't see particularly anything, and I've studied these types 649 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: of Carson clips at length since Media Matters dropped them yesterday. 650 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: I didn't see anything in there that was particularly earnest 651 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: in its offensiveness. And I didn't see anything in there 652 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: that particularly led me to believe that Tucker was espousing 653 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: anything of poor morality. And what I mean by that 654 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: is that if you take the context of the conversations, 655 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: as you say, they were conversations that he was having 656 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 1: with a shock job, right, If you take the context 657 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: of the conversations into account, and you ignore the quip 658 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,720 Speaker 1: that's been cleverly done by Media Matters, you actually get 659 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: the picture that here is somebody who is using rhetorical 660 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: and linguistic devices to further conversations. Now are they good ones, 661 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: perhaps not, but they are ones. Nonetheless. Churchill was known 662 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: to do this. He would swear all the time. I 663 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 1: say all the time, but he would regularly swear, and 664 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: he'd use it as a means by which to shape 665 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: the conversation, to highlight certain things, to emphasize certain things. 666 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: So I think there are two things to consider here, 667 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: is this new and should we be offended? Not really? 668 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 1: And whose fault is it? If we don't like it? 669 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: We have to point the fingers squarely at the liberal 670 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: left who introduced this language into our common discourse. What 671 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 1: do you think about the way that Tucker has handled it? 672 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: He put out a statement, let me see if I 673 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,760 Speaker 1: can pull it up right here, where he essentially says 674 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 1: there will be no apology, that if people have a 675 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: problem with me, then they can come on my show 676 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: or they can watch my show, but I'm not going 677 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: to play play this game. What do you think about 678 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: that as an approach to these kinds of controversy. Here 679 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: he goes, anyone who is who disagrees with my views, welcome, 680 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,720 Speaker 1: welcome to come on and explain why. And that's pretty 681 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: much what he's got. What do you think about that? Yeah, yeah, 682 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: I think that's entirely right. I mean, look, he's goss a, 683 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: he's got one of the largest shows in the country, 684 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 1: one of the largest audiences in the country, and he's 685 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 1: somebody who feels confident enough that he could hold his 686 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: own against somebody who might debate him over this. And 687 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,879 Speaker 1: I think knowing him and knowing his staff, I think 688 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: they will be actively soliciting the best debaser on the 689 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: political left to come on and talk about this stuff 690 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: with Tucker, because that's he understands that that is the 691 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: way to to to defer the flex and explain these 692 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 1: these some of these pointless and fruitless allegations that are 693 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,919 Speaker 1: routinely held at US. I mean, let's not forget buck 694 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: Ralph Northam is still the governor of Virginia. Let's not 695 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: forget that people who covered for Roman Polanski are still 696 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: at large in Hollywood. And we've ever had to have 697 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: full rooted, honest, open debate about those things. But yet 698 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: Tucker is still offering to do that. So I think 699 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: not only has he taken the smart strategic ground, he's 700 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,359 Speaker 1: actually taken the moral high ground in saying that he's 701 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 1: willing to have these conversations out. What do you think 702 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: about your approach going forward? Rahim, As somebody like me 703 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: who has to fight again, you know where we are 704 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: fighting in an uphill battle media environment where we are 705 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,720 Speaker 1: judged by different standards than the left will be, and 706 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: they will find ways to at some point if they 707 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: have not already. I mean I've been dragged. I don't 708 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,720 Speaker 1: know if you've ever been dragged. I've certainly been dragged 709 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,800 Speaker 1: a few times for different things. How do you approach 710 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: these matters? I mean, do you feel like the answer 711 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: is no retreat, no surrender, or what. Look. I've never 712 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: been one to apologize, and the one time that I 713 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 1: was ever asked to do it and I did as 714 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: a matter of a favor to someone else, I immediately 715 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: regretted it because it then led to a listening of 716 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: abuse and demands for apologies for other things. You know, 717 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: we've got to get over this old mindset that somehow 718 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: we occupy the moral high ground by saying I'm sorry 719 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 1: for holding either holding opinions or being part of popular 720 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: discussions and general you know, chatter that anybody else would have. 721 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 1: This is one of the things that we've forgotten is 722 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 1: that it's not just it's not just the fact that 723 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: these public figures are doing this stuff. It's that actually 724 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 1: most people in the country at some point have either 725 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: lost their tempers or talked like this in some way, 726 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,399 Speaker 1: shape or form. And that's not saying that everyone does 727 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: it or even that it's okay. But we've forgotten and 728 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 1: our political figures have forgotten, our public figures have forgotten, 729 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: then our media figures have forgotten what it is to 730 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: be an ordinary person. And so I think Tucker's approach 731 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: to this is that of an ordinary person. And I 732 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 1: think everybody should make those those sorts of no apologies 733 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: mindsets to the way they go about political discourse. What 734 00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on I make it pretty clear and 735 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 1: regul their basis what I think about. It's not just 736 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: Media Matters. There's this whole kind of left wing activist 737 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: online presence of people who are in some ways some 738 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 1: of them are associated with some think tanks or some nonprofits. 739 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: Media Matters as a nonprofit, which is just a total scam. 740 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,720 Speaker 1: Others are people that are specifically hired. I mean CNN, 741 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 1: for example, employs people whose only job, day in and 742 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 1: day out is to attack conservatives in media. That that 743 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: is what they do, that is their role in life. 744 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: I just think that these people are I don't know 745 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: what else to say. Sometimes disagree with them. I think 746 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: that they're disgusting and pathetic. Yeah, and to remember and 747 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 1: to call tech companies and have people banned. You know, 748 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: CNN actually has quote unquote reporters that do that as 749 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: their day to day to day job. Look, this is 750 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 1: this is a Lynsky one oh one. We've shown weakness, 751 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: they will attack the weakness. We have historically been willing 752 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 1: to apologize for things that we should never be apologizing for, 753 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,760 Speaker 1: and so an industry has built up around those things. 754 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 1: I think I hope that with this example from Tucker 755 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: and and to some extent as well, the shmark over 756 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 1: some of Judgeean Piro's comments over this weekend, also I 757 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 1: hope that the refusal to apologize for making making either 758 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: whatever it may be, whether the ironic statements or completely 759 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 1: coherent and factual statements and jokes. In fact, I hope 760 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,439 Speaker 1: the refusal will make us, the rest of us, all 761 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,799 Speaker 1: of us, draw a line under previous weaknesses that we've 762 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: shown and therefore put that industry that what it's effectively, 763 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: a hate industry, hate with a free speech industry out 764 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: of business. Rahim Kasam Everybody Global, editor in chief of 765 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 1: the new and updated Human Events Human events dot Com 766 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 1: to see what he is up to. Also Rahim Kassam 767 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 1: on Twitter, raheem my friend. Great to have you on. 768 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon. Thank you again. Team will 769 00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: be right back. You're probably familiar with AARP. You or 770 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: someone you know might already be a member. But did 771 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,399 Speaker 1: you know that the aa ARP stood against tax cuts 772 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 1: for middle class Americans and small business owners and was 773 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,280 Speaker 1: all about left wing politics. Guess what I recommend AMAC? 774 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 1: Why AMAC? Well, your investment at AMAC allows them to 775 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: act for good policy for this country. The AMAC difference 776 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: is that they've held over thousand face to face meetings 777 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: with key decision makers in DC, including Senators and influencers 778 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 1: at the White House, and over one point five million 779 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: Americans have joined AMAC and that number is growing. Plus 780 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: you get great discounts on car insurance, hotels, roadside assistance, 781 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: all kinds of benefits. Stand with AMAC as they fight 782 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: the good fight by becoming a member today joint right 783 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 1: now at AMAC dot us slash buck. That's am AC 784 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:55,280 Speaker 1: dot us slash buck one more time, am AC dot 785 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:59,360 Speaker 1: us slash buck. AMAC is better, better for you, better 786 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: for America. Look, we're twenty two trillion dollars in debt. 787 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,000 Speaker 1: We have trillion dollars deficits as far as the eye 788 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 1: can see, and we need to do something about it. 789 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,799 Speaker 1: This budget puts for two point seven trillion dollars in 790 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 1: spending reductions over the next ten years and balances within 791 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 1: fifteen years. We think that's an important debate to have. 792 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,919 Speaker 1: Congress may resist it, but we also think that they 793 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,799 Speaker 1: have an interest and we hope they have an interest 794 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: in maintaining in getting rid of the deficit. So that 795 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 1: was Russell Vout, who is the acting OMB Budget Director, 796 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 1: talking about the president's budget, which the very short version 797 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 1: of here is that we will increase military spending. There'll 798 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: be eight billion dollars for a while, and they'll be 799 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,880 Speaker 1: over time spending reductions of two point seven trillion dollars 800 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: with cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. That's that's the very 801 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: quick and dirty on the budget. And I'm just here 802 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:08,240 Speaker 1: to say that the president right now is pushing forward 803 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: a budget. It's never going to be law. So this 804 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 1: is just a philosophical conversation. Really, you know, this is 805 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: a flashpoint for debate right now, but it will not 806 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 1: turn into a bill that has made into a law. 807 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 1: This is just going to be this is what the 808 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 1: president is putting forward, which really matters as a document 809 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: of the thoughts of the Republican Party going into twenty twenty. 810 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 1: But two point seven trillion dollars in spending productions over 811 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: ten years, balances within fifteen years, that's really all meaningless, 812 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,279 Speaker 1: isn't it. Because Trump's not going to be president in 813 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 1: ten years. He might not even be president heaven for 814 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: a bid in two years, So balancing a budget within 815 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 1: fifteen years doesn't really have any meaning. And twenty two 816 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,760 Speaker 1: trillion dollars in debt is eye popping. I mean that 817 00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 1: is truly discouraging about the long term financial viability for 818 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,680 Speaker 1: the system that we have in place. And I mean that, 819 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:11,359 Speaker 1: but Republicans on this issue don't want to have They 820 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:12,840 Speaker 1: don't want to make the case. They don't want to 821 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 1: have the fight. You know, Larry Kudlow, whom I think 822 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 1: is a very a smart guy, and from all the 823 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,879 Speaker 1: things I'm told, a very very nice guy. He said 824 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 1: the following play cliff nine. If you want to deal 825 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 1: with budget deficits, you've got a rapid growth, which means 826 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 1: keep the tax cuts in place. We believe the three 827 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,360 Speaker 1: percent growth rate of twenty eighteen will continue in twenty 828 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,799 Speaker 1: nineteen and beyond twenty twenty and so forth. I think 829 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,920 Speaker 1: the other element is always to limit spending, and the 830 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,799 Speaker 1: President is proposing roughly a five percent across the board 831 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,240 Speaker 1: reduction in domestic spending accounts. It will be a tough budget. 832 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,799 Speaker 1: We're going to do our own caps this year, and 833 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,760 Speaker 1: I think it's long or abduced. Some of these recent 834 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,839 Speaker 1: budget deals have not been favorable towards spending. So I 835 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 1: think it's exactly the right prescription tax cuts in place. Hmm, Well, 836 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 1: that's the one thing the Republican Party seems capable of 837 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,720 Speaker 1: getting through these days and getting done keeping the tax 838 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 1: cuts in place. That's the way to deal with the 839 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,880 Speaker 1: budget deficits. Uh, it's gonna be a little bit, a 840 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,319 Speaker 1: little bit of faith, faith based economics I think involved here. 841 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 1: I know people say, oh, back growth and supply side 842 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,359 Speaker 1: Reagan and all this good stuff. Here's the bottom line, 843 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 1: all right, there's no realistic way that you can crunch 844 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 1: the numbers or fudge the numbers that we aren't as 845 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:46,279 Speaker 1: a country continuously year in and year out, spending more 846 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: money than we take in by a vast sum something 847 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 1: around in the neighborhood of a trillion dollars a year. Now, 848 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,840 Speaker 1: it is obviously very popular for people who want to 849 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:02,880 Speaker 1: stay in power to continue to overdraw America's national accounts. 850 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 1: So to speak, by writing the check from the treasury 851 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: to pay for programs that we cannot pay for as 852 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,280 Speaker 1: we go along. It is not going to be popular 853 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 1: to be the president or the party who says, you 854 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 1: know what, we can't keep doing this anymore. And so 855 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,959 Speaker 1: this is why we are on a glide path to 856 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 1: financial ruin. People also don't want to hear it. I 857 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 1: came into media during the time of the Tea Party. 858 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 1: I remember the fervor and the fear that a lot 859 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 1: of people had for what would happen to this country 860 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,720 Speaker 1: unless we started to have a smaller and more responsible government. 861 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,840 Speaker 1: And at the very very center of that was spending. 862 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 1: Now we have the president's budget put forward. We all 863 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 1: know that the overwhelming likelihood is that the Democrats and 864 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 1: the Republicans will pass some kind of continuing resolution or 865 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,160 Speaker 1: some kind of omnibus, you know, some some budgetary maneuver 866 00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 1: where everyone the automatic spending stays and they stuff a 867 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 1: bunch of little things here and there to buy off 868 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:12,440 Speaker 1: different constituencies into the thing. And nothing is going to change. 869 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 1: Nothing's going to change. Trump wants eight billion dollars. He 870 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,879 Speaker 1: wants eight billion dollars for the wall, which is more 871 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:23,920 Speaker 1: than he was asking for last time around. That's what 872 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,680 Speaker 1: he says, though. Here is what omb Director, acting ob 873 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,359 Speaker 1: Director says about that play eleven. We do have an 874 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:34,360 Speaker 1: eight point six billion dollars request to Congress to complete 875 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,759 Speaker 1: the wall. This is in addition to the billions of 876 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,120 Speaker 1: dollars that we are securing through the presence declaration of 877 00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: a national emergency. As you know, this is an area 878 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 1: where we're getting tired of being right. The border situation 879 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 1: is deteriorating by the day. When we started the conversation 880 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 1: throughout last year, Democrats were saying that there was no 881 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,799 Speaker 1: national emergency. They're still saying that, But I don't know 882 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,120 Speaker 1: how you can continue to make that a search. And 883 00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: when the Department of Homeland Security Secretary and the Commissioner 884 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,799 Speaker 1: of the Customs and Border Patrol continue to go to 885 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,360 Speaker 1: the Hill and say that we are having record numbers 886 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 1: of apprehensions and we will be having more apprehensions in 887 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,240 Speaker 1: the first six months than we did in the entirety 888 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 1: of last year. Here's a budget guy who's telling you 889 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 1: what you know from this show already, which is that 890 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,840 Speaker 1: the numbers don't lie. The numbers are surging, and it 891 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: is out of control. The system is overwhelmed. And the 892 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:31,240 Speaker 1: people who have been saying otherwise, they've been lying. Let's 893 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 1: just say what it is they have been lying to you. 894 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,040 Speaker 1: They have been lying to the American people. They feel 895 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,280 Speaker 1: no shame about this. In fact, they feel self righteous 896 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,239 Speaker 1: about their lives. They feel like they're good people for 897 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,440 Speaker 1: the lies that they tell, because it's all for the cause. 898 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:52,080 Speaker 1: And the cause is a de facto open border at 899 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 1: our southern border that will provide votes for the Democrat 900 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 1: Party and power for the left, and enough power to 901 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,120 Speaker 1: take over this country for the rest of our lifetimes. Folks. 902 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 1: That's what's That's what's at stake here, a single party 903 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 1: majority for the next you know, fifty to one hundred years. 904 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 1: And who knows what the country looks like or how 905 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,839 Speaker 1: we're doing visa each China. You know, nobody knows what 906 00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: the future is. But I do know that the immediate 907 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,960 Speaker 1: future is going to be very bad for the Republican 908 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 1: Party unless we can figure out what is a feasible 909 00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,319 Speaker 1: plan to tackle the debt and make that case the 910 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 1: American But Trump is not making this case, folks. The 911 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,319 Speaker 1: two point seven Troy spending reductions, You've got to make 912 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 1: cuts now or else. No one really is going to 913 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,360 Speaker 1: listen to anything. And I know people say the cuts 914 00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: aren't aren't popular, but that's why no one makes cuts. 915 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,319 Speaker 1: You can't leave the cuts for somebody else, you know, 916 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 1: you can't leave the going to the gym for somebody 917 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,839 Speaker 1: else to do for you. You've got to do it right. 918 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,360 Speaker 1: So between the border and the budget, man Trump's going 919 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 1: to have his work cut out for im, not just 920 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,560 Speaker 1: to try to win reelection, but for the next four years, 921 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 1: because there are storm clouds gathering here and stuff cannot 922 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:08,480 Speaker 1: be ignored much longer. The immigration crisis that our southern 923 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:14,040 Speaker 1: border keeps getting worse. We now are on a path, 924 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 1: as I have been telling you, to a million a 925 00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:23,799 Speaker 1: million illegal aliens of one kind or another in the 926 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:30,200 Speaker 1: country this year. That is an astonishing number. And some 927 00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 1: people are taking note of the reality that I've been 928 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 1: bringing to your attention here, including some whom I think 929 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:42,240 Speaker 1: are pretty pretty wrong on a lot of other issues. 930 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:48,360 Speaker 1: But David from over at The Atlantic I wrote a 931 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:52,839 Speaker 1: pretty decent piece where he lays out what has really 932 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,560 Speaker 1: been going on with immigrations country, and there's a lot 933 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,920 Speaker 1: of all the stuff that's great about immigrants and that's 934 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,240 Speaker 1: all fine. I'm I'm not, and nor do I believe 935 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:06,480 Speaker 1: the Republican parties anti immigrant at all. I am pro immigrant. 936 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 1: I am also pro sovereignty and rule of law, and 937 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:14,520 Speaker 1: so therefore I have issues with illegal immigration. And I 938 00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 1: also think that a society that has a whole slew 939 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:21,000 Speaker 1: of very important laws that it refuses to enforce undermines 940 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,840 Speaker 1: its right and its ability to enforce a lot of 941 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:28,839 Speaker 1: other laws that are out there too. But from first 942 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 1: of all sets up some important context here. He says 943 00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:36,759 Speaker 1: that rather than fading into history, immigration has only been accelerating. 944 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:42,760 Speaker 1: From nineteen ninety to twenty twenty fifteen, forty four million 945 00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 1: people left the global South to find new homes in 946 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 1: the global North. They came from Latin America, Africa, and Asia. 947 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,520 Speaker 1: They came to the United States above all, but to 948 00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,800 Speaker 1: the nations of Europe too. The United Kingdom has received 949 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 1: nearly as many immigrants relative to its population as the 950 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,719 Speaker 1: United States has. Germany and Sweden have received more. Some 951 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:07,200 Speaker 1: forty five million foreign born people now make their home 952 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 1: in the United States. About eleven million to twelve million 953 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,840 Speaker 1: live here at legally. Well, he's wrong about the eleven 954 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,320 Speaker 1: to twelve million. But the rest of that is basically true, 955 00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,000 Speaker 1: and I think it's worth noting that he's wrong. This 956 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,040 Speaker 1: is a guy who's pulling all the numbers and trying 957 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,520 Speaker 1: to make a pretty tight case about the problems around 958 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:28,040 Speaker 1: immigration right now in this country. Really, I should say 959 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 1: a lot of the challenges posed by immigration two. But 960 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 1: he's wrong on that eleven million number. And I would 961 00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 1: just say this, this is unprecedented what the country is 962 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 1: facing right now, what it's dealing with in terms of 963 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 1: the pressures on assimilation and the pressures on our society overall. 964 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 1: We have never had anything like this before. He writes, 965 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 1: year by year immigration numbers may shift up or down, 966 00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 1: but decade by decade immigration is making nations on a 967 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:06,720 Speaker 1: world altering scale. Large scale immigration comes with considerable social 968 00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 1: and political costs, and these must be accounted for. End quote. 969 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,640 Speaker 1: This is all true, and this is what the left 970 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 1: refuses to not even accept. They refuse to address this 971 00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 1: in this country. They act like immigration is just and 972 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,960 Speaker 1: I keep saying immigration, I'm really more focused than the 973 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,720 Speaker 1: legal immigration component. But there's a conversation as well about 974 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:31,720 Speaker 1: immigration overall. But they think that immigration is always good. 975 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 1: More immigration is always better, There is no drawback to immigration, 976 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:41,280 Speaker 1: there is no downside to immigration, and that anybody who 977 00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:47,400 Speaker 1: brings up these issues is a bad person. But then 978 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 1: you might say, well, buck, hold on a second, what 979 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,080 Speaker 1: about some of the people that the left loves who 980 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,200 Speaker 1: have said that there are costs to immigration? For example, 981 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 1: back in twenty fifteen, Bernie Sanders said, quote, what right 982 00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:00,880 Speaker 1: what right wing people in this country with love? Is 983 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 1: an open border policy bringing all kinds of people work 984 00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 1: for two or three dollars an hour. That would be 985 00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 1: great for them. I don't believe in that. I think 986 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:11,640 Speaker 1: we have to raise wages in this country. In Barack 987 00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,160 Speaker 1: Obama's two thousand and six book, The Audacity of Hope, 988 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,640 Speaker 1: he said, quote when I see Mexican flags wave that 989 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 1: promigration demonstrations, I sometimes feel a flush of patriotic resentment. 990 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,400 Speaker 1: When I'm forced to use the translator to communicate with 991 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,120 Speaker 1: the guy fixing my car, I feel a certain frustration 992 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: and quote are Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama racist? Was 993 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,240 Speaker 1: it racist when they said that stuff? Then? Or is 994 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 1: this like everything else we see here? There's really no standards. 995 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 1: There's just defeat the other side win the fight, change 996 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:45,120 Speaker 1: that change the standards, change the facts, change reality, as 997 00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,000 Speaker 1: long as it hurts the other guys, in this case 998 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:52,880 Speaker 1: the right speaking of changing the reality and the right, 999 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 1: and these are some of the examples that David From 1000 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,360 Speaker 1: and this piece, like David From, is a he's a 1001 00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:01,120 Speaker 1: very self satisfied fellow, and he is horrible on the 1002 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,840 Speaker 1: issue of guns, which he knows very little about, and 1003 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,640 Speaker 1: is really I've interviewed the guy kind of I wouldn't 1004 01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,240 Speaker 1: really say debated, I'm just poked him a little bit 1005 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,640 Speaker 1: during an interview, and he's a very smug fellow. But 1006 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 1: he's a good writer, and on immigration he at least 1007 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 1: thinks pretty clearly. He does. And I always say that 1008 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:22,200 Speaker 1: I give credit where it's due, and I support people 1009 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:26,720 Speaker 1: where I think they deserve support, and very few liberals 1010 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,520 Speaker 1: these days, and from I don't know, he probably thinks 1011 01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:32,560 Speaker 1: he's a classical liberal or something. I forget how he 1012 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 1: self identifies. But from his one who will break from 1013 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,920 Speaker 1: the left wing consensus, which I mean the left wing 1014 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:42,400 Speaker 1: consensus on immigration now is that there's no problem. More 1015 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,360 Speaker 1: is better any who disagrees as a racist, there's no crisis. 1016 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 1: Anyone who says there's an issue here as a racist. 1017 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 1: That's what the left has turned into an immigration and 1018 01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 1: they will lie. For example, in this past fall when 1019 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,920 Speaker 1: there were seven thousand people in a caravan, he points 1020 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 1: out that Chris said, quote, this whole caravan in the 1021 01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,919 Speaker 1: last week of the election is a giant lie. This 1022 01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:10,680 Speaker 1: is Trump's Reichstag fire. It is a lie. No, it 1023 01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,120 Speaker 1: wasn't a lie. The lie was Chris Hayes going on 1024 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,720 Speaker 1: National TV saying it's a lie. That was the lie. 1025 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,720 Speaker 1: That was the lie. But here is the bigger point 1026 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,160 Speaker 1: that from is getting to, and this piece is worthwhile, 1027 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 1: it is worth reading. There's some parts of it I 1028 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,280 Speaker 1: disagree with, but there are some parts of it that 1029 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,400 Speaker 1: really need to be part of our conversation and immigration. 1030 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,240 Speaker 1: I think we on this show have one of the 1031 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 1: more in depth and sophisticated discussions of what the heck 1032 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:38,920 Speaker 1: is really happening in this country when it comes to 1033 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:44,520 Speaker 1: illegal immigration and more broadly immigration policy overall. But he 1034 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,600 Speaker 1: points out that when you look at the numbers for 1035 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:54,120 Speaker 1: how many people are going to grow up soon in 1036 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 1: some of these countries of the Third World that would 1037 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,360 Speaker 1: probably be very happy to come to America, and how 1038 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 1: much easier it is to get to America now from 1039 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:06,400 Speaker 1: say Bangladesh or Egypt or Guatemala than it was even 1040 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 1: a few decades ago. I mean, air travel is much 1041 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,680 Speaker 1: faster and cheaper, and Guatemali you could probably obviously get 1042 01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:15,720 Speaker 1: here by foot. But for countries around the world, it 1043 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,880 Speaker 1: has gotten a lot, a lot easier. And he said, 1044 01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,680 Speaker 1: for example, Egypt will add fifty million people to its 1045 01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 1: population over the next three decades, Bangladesh will reach two 1046 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 1: hundred million, Pakistan three hundred million. The populations of Honduras, Guatemala, 1047 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,280 Speaker 1: and El Salvador rise by fifty percent by twenty fifty, 1048 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,520 Speaker 1: which is to more than forty seven million all in 1049 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,480 Speaker 1: twenty six African countries will double their population. By the 1050 01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:42,440 Speaker 1: time today's college seniors celebrate their fiftieth birthday, the population 1051 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,440 Speaker 1: of Africa and twenty fifty will be almost equal the 1052 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,520 Speaker 1: entire population of the world in nineteen fifty two point 1053 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:52,440 Speaker 1: five billion people. And here's the key question, folks, This 1054 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 1: is what the liberals have no answer to whatsoever. What 1055 01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,720 Speaker 1: happens when it's not just one person, he writes, or 1056 01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:02,000 Speaker 1: a thousand people or a million people who want to move. 1057 01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:07,040 Speaker 1: What happens when it's tens or hundreds of millions knocking 1058 01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,240 Speaker 1: on the doors of the developed world. And what happens 1059 01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 1: when those vast numbers of newcomers arrive, not in mass 1060 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,280 Speaker 1: production economies whose factories and mills need every pair of 1061 01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,760 Speaker 1: hands they can hire, but in modern knowledge economies that 1062 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:23,640 Speaker 1: struggle to achieve full employment and steady wage growth. This 1063 01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 1: is a critical point, a critical point. We're talking about 1064 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 1: a knowledge based economy now, and a lot of people 1065 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,200 Speaker 1: showing up who quite honestly have very limited knowledge, especially 1066 01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,520 Speaker 1: in terms of the professional sphere, that they could compete in. 1067 01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: And this story, here's another big lie that the immigrants, 1068 01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:49,240 Speaker 1: the immigrants and illegal immigrants who come here because they'll 1069 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:52,040 Speaker 1: pay Medicare and Social Security taxes, that will save us, 1070 01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,880 Speaker 1: that will save entitlements. You're told all the time, No 1071 01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,360 Speaker 1: it won't. They get sick too, they get old too. 1072 01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,480 Speaker 1: These are just more are people that are getting plopped 1073 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,480 Speaker 1: on top of an already groaning, straining, and soon to 1074 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:10,880 Speaker 1: collapse entitlement system. And then finally, and this is the 1075 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,440 Speaker 1: key point, This is why I said this is a 1076 01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,760 Speaker 1: really good this is a good piece. Americans also need 1077 01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,960 Speaker 1: to rethink asylum policy. If unemployment, poverty, or disorder in 1078 01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 1: your home country qualifies you for asylum. Then hundreds of 1079 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,240 Speaker 1: millions of people qualify, even though none of them have 1080 01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,520 Speaker 1: been targeted by the kind of state sponsored persecution that 1081 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 1: asylum laws were originally written to redress. And then he writes, 1082 01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 1: without immigration restrictions, there are no national borders. Without national borders, 1083 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,160 Speaker 1: there are no nation states. Without nation states, There are 1084 01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:44,560 Speaker 1: no electorates. Without electorates, there is no democracy. If liberals 1085 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,440 Speaker 1: insist that only fascists won forced borders, then voters will 1086 01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:49,640 Speaker 1: hire fascists to do the job liberals refuse to do. 1087 01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:53,920 Speaker 1: End quote. I mean his little jab there about fascists, obviously, 1088 01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,520 Speaker 1: in poking at Donald Trump is stupid and childish and unnecessary. 1089 01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,200 Speaker 1: But his point about how Libs won't enforced borders and 1090 01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,560 Speaker 1: what that means, that is true, and that is where 1091 01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:10,040 Speaker 1: we are right now. Make no mistake about it. At 1092 01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,400 Speaker 1: the whole issue of the wall and border security is 1093 01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,240 Speaker 1: a paramount importance. We have a crisis down there. I 1094 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,919 Speaker 1: think the President has made that case very effectively. It's 1095 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 1: a crisis of economics, it's a crisis of crime and drugs, 1096 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 1: it's a crisis of humanity. We have to be much 1097 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,200 Speaker 1: tougher and have more constructive immigration policy, which we will 1098 01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 1: be developing over a period of time. So yes, he's 1099 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:35,120 Speaker 1: going to stay with his wall, and he's going to 1100 01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,560 Speaker 1: stay with the border security theme. I think it's essential 1101 01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:39,840 Speaker 1: the President's not given up on the wall. But the 1102 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,280 Speaker 1: wall alone, as I have been telling you, is not enough. 1103 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:46,080 Speaker 1: I want to try to shed some light on what's 1104 01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,800 Speaker 1: really happening behind the scenes here with all these asylum 1105 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:54,320 Speaker 1: cases and with the bureaucracy that is processing this massive 1106 01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,960 Speaker 1: influx of particularly families of the southern border. To that end, 1107 01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:01,360 Speaker 1: we are joined by Todd Benzman, is a National Security 1108 01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,920 Speaker 1: Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies taught Thanks so 1109 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,040 Speaker 1: much for your time, Sure, thanks for having me on. 1110 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,360 Speaker 1: So we're hoping you can give us some sense of 1111 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:12,920 Speaker 1: what you are hearing from your contacts in the government 1112 01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:17,320 Speaker 1: side about what's what's really happening with these asylum cases. 1113 01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:19,920 Speaker 1: How quickly are they being processed, what kind of claims 1114 01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:21,960 Speaker 1: are being made, and where are we seeing that this 1115 01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 1: whole thing is either breaking down or just a sham. Right, So, 1116 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:30,440 Speaker 1: what I hear is from sources in the US Citizenship 1117 01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:36,680 Speaker 1: in the Immigration Service, which is the agency responsible for 1118 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:42,080 Speaker 1: doing credible fear interviews, the very initial screening for tens 1119 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:47,120 Speaker 1: of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Central American families that 1120 01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,959 Speaker 1: are coming through family unit members that are coming through. 1121 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 1: And really, what's the way it's explained to me is 1122 01:06:55,480 --> 01:07:02,560 Speaker 1: that the migrants come in knowing in advance what stories 1123 01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:07,959 Speaker 1: to say to what claims to make to get them 1124 01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,400 Speaker 1: through the initial screening credible fear, and then right through 1125 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 1: the catch and release loophole and into the country, so 1126 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 1: that asylum officers who are conducting these thousands and thousands 1127 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:28,640 Speaker 1: of interviews are hearing the same exact stories down to 1128 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:33,880 Speaker 1: the very uh you know, find granular details of those stories. 1129 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,440 Speaker 1: They're just saying the same things over and over, as 1130 01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,640 Speaker 1: though they've been coached in mass or that they sort 1131 01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: of learn what to say through osmosis inside the detention centers, 1132 01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:53,160 Speaker 1: and that the mid level bureaucracy at CIS has removed 1133 01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 1: discretion from the asylum officers to say no, that they 1134 01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:02,920 Speaker 1: are under orders, not written orders, but teleconferenced orders to 1135 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:08,840 Speaker 1: say yes yes. Now, why would that be, because obviously 1136 01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,120 Speaker 1: we have so many people that are now coming in 1137 01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,280 Speaker 1: in this manner and claiming asylum. Why would that be 1138 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:19,840 Speaker 1: the case. Can't really answer that, buck uh. You know, 1139 01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:24,200 Speaker 1: one one theory from from a source of mine who's 1140 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:28,200 Speaker 1: on the front lines of this on the inside, is 1141 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:34,879 Speaker 1: that there is a group of CIS bureau bureaucrats who 1142 01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:40,439 Speaker 1: feels as though, um, you know, they want as many 1143 01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:45,200 Speaker 1: migrants into the country as as as possible. And I 1144 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:51,840 Speaker 1: have to say that if you grant approvals in mass, 1145 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:56,519 Speaker 1: then you also sort of alleviate a bedspace shortage. So 1146 01:08:56,600 --> 01:09:00,920 Speaker 1: you just simply move them straight through the orders to 1147 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:06,120 Speaker 1: move them through within ten days into the interior, out 1148 01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:10,800 Speaker 1: of the detention facilities and into the interior by just 1149 01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:15,920 Speaker 1: simply saying yes to all claims and then moving the 1150 01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:19,559 Speaker 1: paperwork through. And that this is supposed to be some 1151 01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:25,000 Speaker 1: kind of an order from mid level kind of bureaucrats 1152 01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:29,600 Speaker 1: that are maybe Obama holdovers. Wow, So it's almost like 1153 01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:31,840 Speaker 1: the deep state is active at the border. I know 1154 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:33,760 Speaker 1: that some people don't like that term, but there are 1155 01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,599 Speaker 1: some elements from within the bureaucracy that are certainly not 1156 01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 1: working in tandem with Trump administration policy. It seems likely 1157 01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,760 Speaker 1: that in fact, they're trying to do everything they can 1158 01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:47,559 Speaker 1: to subvert Trump administration. Well, I shouldn't say policy Trump 1159 01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,080 Speaker 1: administration goals really because the policy here, I guess, is 1160 01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,200 Speaker 1: just the continuation of what the laws on the books 1161 01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,040 Speaker 1: are just wanting to know. Is there anything else Todd 1162 01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,880 Speaker 1: that you're hearing, given how much attention the border has 1163 01:09:57,880 --> 01:09:59,280 Speaker 1: been getting, I think it should be getting even more 1164 01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,680 Speaker 1: than it is. Anything else you're hearing that you think 1165 01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:04,040 Speaker 1: is just really important for the folks out there to 1166 01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:08,080 Speaker 1: know about what is really happening down there now, I mean, really, 1167 01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,200 Speaker 1: it's it's just that there's it appears as though there 1168 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:16,000 Speaker 1: is a you know, an enabling assembly line that's set 1169 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:21,680 Speaker 1: up to guarantee the entrance of hundreds of thousands of 1170 01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:27,040 Speaker 1: people who are part of family units that there. There's 1171 01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:35,120 Speaker 1: really no no deterring decision making or deterring programming to 1172 01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:40,600 Speaker 1: like say, for example, an airlift back to Honduras for 1173 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,439 Speaker 1: the nose for the people that are that are turned 1174 01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:48,160 Speaker 1: down and the system is overwhelmed anyway. But remember in 1175 01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:53,360 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen twenty fifteen, with the unaccompanied miners crisis that 1176 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,240 Speaker 1: we have that was very similar to this, the Obama 1177 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,840 Speaker 1: administration was able to pretty much put a stop to 1178 01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:03,760 Speaker 1: it by loading up aircraft and flying those aircraft to 1179 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:09,439 Speaker 1: goosea Galpa and dropping everyone off, and you know, it's 1180 01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:12,280 Speaker 1: a great vine. So word gets around that, oh they're deporting, 1181 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:14,479 Speaker 1: So that put an end pretty much put an end 1182 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:19,360 Speaker 1: to that massive crisis. So there's really no kind of 1183 01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:23,600 Speaker 1: programming in place where if asylum officers did say no 1184 01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:27,880 Speaker 1: to credible fear, that there'd be a way to expeditiously 1185 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,960 Speaker 1: deport people back to their home countries, at least not 1186 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,559 Speaker 1: that I've heard of yet, like an airlift. Yeah, well, 1187 01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:37,240 Speaker 1: it's something that's definitely a missing piece here. Todd Benzman 1188 01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,240 Speaker 1: of the Center for Immigration Studies, where his National security 1189 01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,800 Speaker 1: fellow Todd, appreciate you sharing your perspective on this.

Some of the more interesting articles come 1217 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:16,280 Speaker 1: across these days are found in this journal of I 1218 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:20,320 Speaker 1: guess they'd call it controversial opinion journal of honest opinion 1219 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 1: that does not vow to political correctness, known as Quilette. 1220 01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,360 Speaker 1: In fact, our friend friend of the show, Andy No 1221 01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:32,920 Speaker 1: writes for Quilette. And now there's another piece in here 1222 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,600 Speaker 1: that is a little bit of history. So those of 1223 01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,599 Speaker 1: you who've been asking for us to do some history 1224 01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,599 Speaker 1: in the show, this will be one just a quick 1225 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,439 Speaker 1: run through a very interesting period of history. But I 1226 01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:47,679 Speaker 1: think you'll also see some comparisons to the present moment. 1227 01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,920 Speaker 1: I think you will sense that there's a lot of 1228 01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:59,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of connective tissue between what happened in 1229 01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:03,000 Speaker 1: this period of late eighteenth century French talking about the 1230 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,840 Speaker 1: French Revolution and some of what you're seeing now in 1231 01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:11,960 Speaker 1: our current moment. The left in this country is unhinged, 1232 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:17,599 Speaker 1: is destructive, wants to destroy all of their enemies, views 1233 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:22,679 Speaker 1: their policies as really more of a religion, just as 1234 01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:29,600 Speaker 1: the Jacobins and the French revolutionaries of seventeen ninety three 1235 01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 1: thought of themselves as just enacting an agenda of liberty 1236 01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:42,280 Speaker 1: and freedom driven by rationality and a destruction of God 1237 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,080 Speaker 1: and the Church. By the way, the elevation of the 1238 01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:49,080 Speaker 1: state over the individual was central to the revolutionary ideology 1239 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:52,080 Speaker 1: of the French Revolution very different from our own revolution 1240 01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:57,400 Speaker 1: in not just ideas, but also in implementation. That's what 1241 01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:01,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to get into. This is a story that 1242 01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,120 Speaker 1: I wonder how many of you have heard it. I 1243 01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,560 Speaker 1: remember it briefly from European history when I was in 1244 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:12,960 Speaker 1: high school. But it is of the vonnd Some call 1245 01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,679 Speaker 1: it the civil War, others will call it the Vonde genocide. 1246 01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:19,920 Speaker 1: And this in itself is controversial. What do you call 1247 01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:26,560 Speaker 1: this period in French revolutionary history? Because the historian Reynald 1248 01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:31,479 Speaker 1: Sacre back in twenty eleven discovered some documents in the 1249 01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:35,840 Speaker 1: National Archives in Paris that described what he had been 1250 01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,479 Speaker 1: writing about since the early nineteen eighties. And this is 1251 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:43,640 Speaker 1: all according to Jasprit Bopari or Buppara I rather in 1252 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:48,599 Speaker 1: Quillet and this faceting piece on the VONDEI Revolution, I'm sorry, 1253 01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 1: the Vonda genocide during the French Revolution. And here's what 1254 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:57,479 Speaker 1: he says in the piece. On March four, twenty eleven, 1255 01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:04,000 Speaker 1: the historian Reynold discovered documents the National Archives confirming what 1256 01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:05,680 Speaker 1: he knows. In the nineteen eighties there had been a 1257 01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:09,280 Speaker 1: genocide during the French Revolution. Storians have always been aware 1258 01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,760 Speaker 1: of widespread resistance to the revolution, but with a few exceptions, 1259 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:16,640 Speaker 1: they invariably characterized the rebellion in the Vonndeis as an 1260 01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:21,160 Speaker 1: abortive civil war rather than a genocide. In nineteen eighty six, 1261 01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:27,479 Speaker 1: Sacre published his initial findings in Le Genocide Franco Francais, 1262 01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,679 Speaker 1: a lightly revised version of his doctoral dissertation. This book 1263 01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:32,639 Speaker 1: sold well, but destroyed any chance he might have had 1264 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:36,479 Speaker 1: for a university career. Sacre was slandered by journalists and 1265 01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,800 Speaker 1: academics who for daring to question the official version of 1266 01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,840 Speaker 1: events that have taken place two centuries earlier. The revolution 1267 01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,000 Speaker 1: has become too sacred a creation myth for at least 1268 01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:49,040 Speaker 1: some of the French. They do not take kindly to blasphemers. 1269 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 1: So they have set up a number stretching back for 1270 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:55,680 Speaker 1: a long time, a number of official historians of the 1271 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:58,320 Speaker 1: French Revolution in France, and the way that they have 1272 01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:01,760 Speaker 1: covered the Von Day is generally, oh, it was a 1273 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:05,280 Speaker 1: rebellion and it was put down. Well, there's more to 1274 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:08,519 Speaker 1: it than that. And again I'm telling you about this 1275 01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:11,920 Speaker 1: because I think that in this moment, when you have 1276 01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,320 Speaker 1: a left wing that is emboldened and that is really 1277 01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:18,240 Speaker 1: falling into a state of psychosis where you can't have 1278 01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:21,559 Speaker 1: normal conversations with them, where they have no mercy, they 1279 01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,800 Speaker 1: have no honor, they have no decency. They just view 1280 01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:29,160 Speaker 1: themselves as fighting one existential crisis after another. You know, 1281 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:31,240 Speaker 1: if you're not all for climate change, if you're not 1282 01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:35,920 Speaker 1: for open borders, you know, you're a monster. That's the 1283 01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,160 Speaker 1: approach they take. Well, this is not the first time, 1284 01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:44,760 Speaker 1: certainly in history that that has led to disastrous outcomes, 1285 01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:47,160 Speaker 1: and the French Revolution is yet another example of this. 1286 01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,680 Speaker 1: So let's look at the von Day for just a 1287 01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:54,360 Speaker 1: few minutes. Back in seventeen ninety three, the Vondai is 1288 01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,880 Speaker 1: in the area of western France. It's roughly analogous with 1289 01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 1: some of it would be the valley some of you 1290 01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:05,160 Speaker 1: probably enjoy drinking your wine from the Loire Valley, and 1291 01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:10,479 Speaker 1: the Jacaman government, the revolutionary government in Paris, knew that 1292 01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:13,000 Speaker 1: what they were dealing with in the Vondais was considered 1293 01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:17,639 Speaker 1: a backwater. The Hicks of eighteenth century France, so to speak, 1294 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:22,040 Speaker 1: were in this Valondai region, and they were the French 1295 01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,840 Speaker 1: equivalent of clinging to their bibles and their guns. They 1296 01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:28,479 Speaker 1: were rural, they very much believed in the Catholic Church 1297 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:38,120 Speaker 1: and weren't sold on this new Enlightenment based revolutionary revolutionary 1298 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,040 Speaker 1: doctrine that had been foisted upon them from Paris and 1299 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:46,000 Speaker 1: the other major cities. But the National Constituent Assembly, which 1300 01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:50,759 Speaker 1: would go through a number of different name changes over time, 1301 01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:57,080 Speaker 1: had nationalized all church property, and then after nationalizing church property, 1302 01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:59,400 Speaker 1: sold and redistributed a lot of it and made the 1303 01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:03,519 Speaker 1: clergy into state employees. So this is when we talk 1304 01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:05,439 Speaker 1: about the separation of church and state. This is what 1305 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:08,760 Speaker 1: we're trying to avoid, that the clergy should not be 1306 01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,960 Speaker 1: employees of the state for very obvious reasons. The Jackaman 1307 01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:18,280 Speaker 1: government in seventeen ninety three did just that. Then the 1308 01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:21,360 Speaker 1: National Constituent Assembly changed to become the National Convention. They 1309 01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:25,280 Speaker 1: kept changing the name of the governing body of these 1310 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:30,639 Speaker 1: revolutionaries in Paris, and then there was a call from 1311 01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:35,200 Speaker 1: the National Convention for conscription. People were not very happy 1312 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:40,880 Speaker 1: about this one, so they tried to revolt, and they 1313 01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:44,839 Speaker 1: revolted under the chant of holy freedom, sacred freedom. And 1314 01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:48,800 Speaker 1: in this piece from Quilette, he says that some of 1315 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:51,559 Speaker 1: the protesters were quoted as shouting, you have killed our king, 1316 01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:53,960 Speaker 1: you have chased away our priests. You have sold off 1317 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,640 Speaker 1: the property of our church. Where's the money you have 1318 01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,360 Speaker 1: spent it all? Now you want our bodies, No, you 1319 01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:04,080 Speaker 1: will not have them. And then other peasants asked, you 1320 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,679 Speaker 1: expect us to go fight for this government, to fight 1321 01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:08,920 Speaker 1: at the command of men who have turned the administration 1322 01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,640 Speaker 1: of this country upside down, executed our king, sold all 1323 01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:14,960 Speaker 1: the churches land, and want to subject us to priests 1324 01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:18,280 Speaker 1: we do not want, whilst they send the real leaders 1325 01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:24,280 Speaker 1: of the church to prison. So this led to an insurgency. 1326 01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:28,120 Speaker 1: There were riots in the towns, people formed mobs, government 1327 01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:30,720 Speaker 1: buildings ransacked, all of the stuff that you would expect. Right, 1328 01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,599 Speaker 1: this is the peasants rising up with pitchforks against what 1329 01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:38,680 Speaker 1: was supposed to be a peasant revolutionary government, which, as 1330 01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:42,400 Speaker 1: we know, the revolutionary governments throughout history tend to be 1331 01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:48,120 Speaker 1: much less much egalitarian and equal than they pretend to 1332 01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:51,880 Speaker 1: be when they're seizing power. There's always a revolutionary corps 1333 01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:56,120 Speaker 1: that becomes an elite that then often become dictators themselves. 1334 01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:02,919 Speaker 1: But this led to some very some very nasty pitched battles. 1335 01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,719 Speaker 1: But in this rural area of France during the French Revolution. 1336 01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:11,120 Speaker 1: In the von day, the peasants, who had very little 1337 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:15,240 Speaker 1: in terms of armament or training, managed to fight well 1338 01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:19,479 Speaker 1: and actually win and win some win some pretty major battles. 1339 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:24,200 Speaker 1: And then this is where you know, I think that 1340 01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:27,400 Speaker 1: you'll start to see how I remember the French revolutionary 1341 01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:30,559 Speaker 1: governed the time is all. They were the progressives of 1342 01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:34,000 Speaker 1: the era. They were the progressive left government. This is 1343 01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:38,280 Speaker 1: if if you're in seventeen ninety three and AOC and 1344 01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:42,519 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders all of a sudden have 1345 01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:47,680 Speaker 1: uninhibited power. This is what the you know, their equivalence, 1346 01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:49,439 Speaker 1: I should say, then this is what you would have. 1347 01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:53,920 Speaker 1: All about equality, the elevation of the state, the denigration 1348 01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:59,200 Speaker 1: of the church, the elimination of God. That's what was happening. Well, 1349 01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:03,360 Speaker 1: the powers that be, these revolutionary powers, that say they're 1350 01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:06,799 Speaker 1: guided by reason and they're going to bring about a utopia. 1351 01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,040 Speaker 1: Remember the French Revolution was a utopian revolution. It wasn't 1352 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:13,720 Speaker 1: our version of the revolution, which is, our rights come 1353 01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 1: from God, not from man. Back off government. Here's what 1354 01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:19,360 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to do. Here's where we draw the lines, 1355 01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,240 Speaker 1: and here's how we keep you in check. The French 1356 01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,160 Speaker 1: Revolution was yeah, let's get rid of the monarchy and 1357 01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,759 Speaker 1: the bloated bureaucracy underneath it, and replace it with a smart, 1358 01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:32,799 Speaker 1: intelligent bureaucracy of people who are just going to apply 1359 01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:36,880 Speaker 1: reason to all problems and have man in place of God. 1360 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:41,120 Speaker 1: That's what the French Revolution was all about. And so 1361 01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:46,080 Speaker 1: when they were challenged in this way, things got really ugly. 1362 01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,920 Speaker 1: In this piece by this author that I'm marine your attention, 1363 01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:56,520 Speaker 1: he calls it the period of purification quote. The revolutionary 1364 01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,120 Speaker 1: army outnumbered the brigands and was far better armed. As 1365 01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,040 Speaker 1: a summer of seventeen ninety three went on, they began 1366 01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:04,840 Speaker 1: to regain territory and drive the brigands back. Now the 1367 01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:08,160 Speaker 1: killing could begin in earnest. The revolutionaries preferred not to 1368 01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:11,080 Speaker 1: take prisoners. There would be no clemency or mercy for 1369 01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,600 Speaker 1: the brigands. As winter approached, it was clear that the 1370 01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:17,599 Speaker 1: insurrection would not survive for long. The Committee for Public 1371 01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:22,240 Speaker 1: Safety sent Jean Baptiste Carrier to Nantes. He arrived in 1372 01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:26,640 Speaker 1: October twentieth of seventeen ninety three, and he pioneered the 1373 01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:30,920 Speaker 1: technique of drowning brigands to save money on bullets. During 1374 01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:34,000 Speaker 1: his four months as the committee's representative. Four hundred and 1375 01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:38,439 Speaker 1: fifty two alleged brigands were acquitted, nineteen hundred and seventy 1376 01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:41,439 Speaker 1: one were executed by normal means, three thousand died from disease, 1377 01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:47,320 Speaker 1: and forty eight hundred were drowned intentionally. At first, drowning 1378 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 1: was just used to deal with reactionary clergy would not 1379 01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:54,960 Speaker 1: yield to the will of the authority in Paris, but 1380 01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:58,000 Speaker 1: it became customary to drown brigands naked, not merely so 1381 01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:02,080 Speaker 1: the revolutionaries could help themselves to the vulndeian's clothes, but 1382 01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:04,439 Speaker 1: also said the younger women among them could be raped 1383 01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:10,120 Speaker 1: before death. Drownings spread far and wide. On the sixteenth 1384 01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,920 Speaker 1: of December, General Marceau sent a letter to the revolutionary 1385 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:16,280 Speaker 1: Minister of War triumphantly announcing, among other victories, that at 1386 01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:21,519 Speaker 1: least three thousand non combatant vulndei and women had been 1387 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:27,840 Speaker 1: drowned at pon O Beau. The revolutionaries were drunk with 1388 01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:32,200 Speaker 1: blood and could not slaughter their brigand prisoners fast enough, women, children, 1389 01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:35,760 Speaker 1: old people, priests, the sixty infirm. If the prisoners could 1390 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:37,880 Speaker 1: not walk fast enough to the killing grounds, they were 1391 01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,120 Speaker 1: bayonetted in the stomach and left on the ground to 1392 01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:42,559 Speaker 1: be trampled by other prisoners as they bled to death. 1393 01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:48,440 Speaker 1: General Westerman's finest day of slaughter took place at Souveraignet 1394 01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:52,479 Speaker 1: on December twenty first, seventeen ninety three, as he announced 1395 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:55,200 Speaker 1: an appreciative and grateful Committee for Public Safety. I'll look 1396 01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:58,160 Speaker 1: at that. They changed the name again, folks, the Committee 1397 01:24:58,160 --> 01:24:59,720 Speaker 1: for Public Safety. Doesn't that sound like something that the 1398 01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,840 Speaker 1: demo crafts would crumpet today? Oh no, we're not the 1399 01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,759 Speaker 1: authoritarian nightmare you think we are. We're just the Committee 1400 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:13,679 Speaker 1: for Public Safety. This is orwell one hundred and forty 1401 01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:19,439 Speaker 1: years before, orwell thirty citizens of the Republic. Quote, there 1402 01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:22,400 Speaker 1: is no more Vondai. She has died beneath our saber 1403 01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,759 Speaker 1: of freedom, with her women and children. I have buried 1404 01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,200 Speaker 1: her in the woods and marshes. Follow your orders. I've 1405 01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 1: following your orders. I've crushed her children under the hoofs 1406 01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 1: of my horses and massacred her women, who will give 1407 01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:36,920 Speaker 1: birth to no further brigands. Now there is not a 1408 01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:40,560 Speaker 1: single prisoner who could criticize my actions. I have exterminated 1409 01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,000 Speaker 1: them all. You see, women were end quote there, women 1410 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:46,839 Speaker 1: were specifically targeted for rape and murder in this campaign 1411 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:51,320 Speaker 1: of extermination by the revolutionary progressive left wing government in 1412 01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:56,200 Speaker 1: Paris because the women would carry babies that they said, 1413 01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:58,840 Speaker 1: because they were Valndeians from this area of Valdai, they 1414 01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:05,920 Speaker 1: would be a revolutionaries. As if this isn't sick enough, 1415 01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:09,880 Speaker 1: they then offered a fake amnesty. Quote it is decreed 1416 01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:11,760 Speaker 1: by law that all people known as rebels in the 1417 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,280 Speaker 1: Vonday who lay down their arms within a month of 1418 01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:16,679 Speaker 1: this decree will neither be sought out nor bothered because 1419 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:20,519 Speaker 1: they rebelled and quote it was a fake amnesty. People 1420 01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:23,720 Speaker 1: who turned themselves in were butchered, just along with all 1421 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:27,920 Speaker 1: the rest. They sent out six army divisions on a 1422 01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:33,960 Speaker 1: quote crusade of liberty to murder the brigands, including their families, 1423 01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:36,639 Speaker 1: their women and children. These are their fellow frenchmen, my friends. 1424 01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:41,439 Speaker 1: Murder the ones who decided to take the government at 1425 01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:46,880 Speaker 1: its word and surrender themselves. Nobody was spared. Women and 1426 01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:49,000 Speaker 1: children were banditted in the stomachs if there was the 1427 01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:54,479 Speaker 1: slightest hint of suspicion about them. Quote. The usual practice 1428 01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:56,160 Speaker 1: was to kill babies in front of their mothers, then 1429 01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:59,439 Speaker 1: kill the mothers young girls were often drowned after first 1430 01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:03,000 Speaker 1: being raped. Widows were usually beaten, insulted and drowned. There 1431 01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:08,360 Speaker 1: was no established standard procedure. Eventually, the killing ended. On 1432 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:13,519 Speaker 1: February seventeenth, seventeen ninety five, one hundred and seventeen thousand 1433 01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:20,360 Speaker 1: volundeans eradicated. As a result of this Volundei genocide. Out 1434 01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:22,679 Speaker 1: of a population of eight hundred and fifteen thousand, about 1435 01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:28,120 Speaker 1: one in seven murder killed disappeared. The Committee of Public 1436 01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,880 Speaker 1: Safety had given explicit orders to eliminate brigands to the 1437 01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,960 Speaker 1: last man, because they were counter revolutionaries, my friends, because 1438 01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:37,320 Speaker 1: they were thought criminals, because they stood in the way 1439 01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:43,640 Speaker 1: of progress, Because these rural church attending, god fearing Frenchmen 1440 01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:49,639 Speaker 1: of seventeen ninety three France did not believe in this 1441 01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:54,320 Speaker 1: revolution of their so called betters and intellectual superiors, who 1442 01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:57,160 Speaker 1: thought that if only the government were in the hands 1443 01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:00,840 Speaker 1: of the smartest and best men, who had absolute power 1444 01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,800 Speaker 1: and nothing restraining them, then they could create a paradise 1445 01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:09,080 Speaker 1: where there had once been a monarchy. Of course, it 1446 01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:12,599 Speaker 1: was all very much a lie at the time, and 1447 01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:14,920 Speaker 1: that they would have a quote crusade for liberty that 1448 01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:18,040 Speaker 1: was really a campaign of extermination against their fellow human beings, 1449 01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,840 Speaker 1: killing men, women, children, the elderly. Well, this is only 1450 01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:25,760 Speaker 1: possible for individuals who have radicalized, and that's what you 1451 01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:29,280 Speaker 1: see in the French Revolution, the Jacobins, this government that 1452 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:34,280 Speaker 1: justified everything that it was doing, was a government of radicals. 1453 01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:38,439 Speaker 1: And when people lose connection to their fellow human beings 1454 01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:43,200 Speaker 1: in any country, this kind of behavior becomes possible. I 1455 01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:46,160 Speaker 1: know that we like to think this sort of thing 1456 01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:49,880 Speaker 1: would never happen here, but we did have a civil 1457 01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:52,280 Speaker 1: war in this country. It was not that long ago. 1458 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:58,600 Speaker 1: And if we do not begin to destroy this ideology 1459 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:01,240 Speaker 1: of the left that is first and foremost premised upon 1460 01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:06,000 Speaker 1: destroying everybody else, we are facing a very dark future. 1461 01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:08,840 Speaker 1: It is just a question of when. Because these people 1462 01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:12,200 Speaker 1: have completely lost their minds, and they do not see 1463 01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:15,040 Speaker 1: those who standard their way as fellow Americans or even 1464 01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:18,400 Speaker 1: fellow human beings. They are scary and this is going 1465 01:29:18,439 --> 01:29:24,280 Speaker 1: to get a lot worse. We'll be right back. Oh, Buck, 1466 01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 1: did you have a good day to day? Well it 1467 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,479 Speaker 1: was all right. I got a lot done, but that's 1468 01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:31,040 Speaker 1: only because of a little boost from my friends at 1469 01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:33,599 Speaker 1: Black Rifle Coffee.

I find 1494 01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:02,759 Speaker 1: her to be a an intense mediocrity. And I don't 1495 01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:06,000 Speaker 1: know what anyone sees in this woman other than a 1496 01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:10,040 Speaker 1: willingness to completely change her positions. And if you go 1497 01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:11,840 Speaker 1: back to what she used to stand for versus what 1498 01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:15,680 Speaker 1: she stands for now, it's a pretty remarkable split and 1499 01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:21,320 Speaker 1: a real redo in many ways. But her whole thing 1500 01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:25,040 Speaker 1: here about how the people at the women she was 1501 01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:30,800 Speaker 1: at the Women's march there speaking truth to power. Most 1502 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:33,000 Speaker 1: people who say they're speaking truth to power are actually 1503 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,519 Speaker 1: just saying things that are gonna make them feel like 1504 01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:38,400 Speaker 1: they're important and that they think that people around them 1505 01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:41,439 Speaker 1: want to hear. Mostly when people say you're speaking truth 1506 01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:44,439 Speaker 1: to power, what they mean is you're saying what everybody 1507 01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:47,080 Speaker 1: in this world wants to hear, and we think that's great, 1508 01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:50,920 Speaker 1: because you're great. I just speaking truth to power is 1509 01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:54,639 Speaker 1: supposed to come with risks. For democrats, all they do 1510 01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:56,559 Speaker 1: is preach to the choir and act like they're speaking 1511 01:31:56,560 --> 01:32:01,360 Speaker 1: truth to power, and it's just a bizarre upending of 1512 01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,439 Speaker 1: what's really happening. I'm not spending much time on Jilla 1513 01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:07,120 Speaker 1: Brand's situation today, but we'll come back to it. I 1514 01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:12,439 Speaker 1: can assure you of that. I think that I have 1515 01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:16,479 Speaker 1: evinced a humility about being a straight white male that 1516 01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:20,519 Speaker 1: I've never experienced discrimination like so many do. I've never 1517 01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:24,840 Speaker 1: been pulled over as an African American teenager by an 1518 01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:27,760 Speaker 1: officer driving through a white neighborhood. I've never been a 1519 01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:30,000 Speaker 1: woman and been talked over in a meeting. So I 1520 01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,680 Speaker 1: approached this with humility, and that's why I've been so 1521 01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:36,120 Speaker 1: dedicated through a twenty five year public career of advancing 1522 01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:39,200 Speaker 1: justice in our society, of making sure that we have 1523 01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:46,639 Speaker 1: as much diversity as possible. So that's Governor Insley, and 1524 01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:49,120 Speaker 1: he's telling you what is you know, he's a governor 1525 01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:53,160 Speaker 1: of Washington State, and he's telling you what the expectation is. 1526 01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:57,840 Speaker 1: Now if you are a white male, and if you 1527 01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:04,160 Speaker 1: deviate from this in our society, you face real, real problems. 1528 01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:06,720 Speaker 1: If you start to say, you know, I don't I 1529 01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:12,439 Speaker 1: don't feel like I should be obligated to say that 1530 01:33:12,479 --> 01:33:15,560 Speaker 1: my opinion is worth less on matters, or that I 1531 01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:21,040 Speaker 1: have benefited in ways that nobody can really define or specify, 1532 01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:24,120 Speaker 1: but are present all the time, that all of my 1533 01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:28,479 Speaker 1: accomplishments are at least somewhat tainted by the fact that 1534 01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:33,519 Speaker 1: I am a a male who is white, and that 1535 01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:36,680 Speaker 1: we have to walk around and constantly act like we 1536 01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:39,360 Speaker 1: should be sorry. And that's really what it is. I mean, 1537 01:33:39,400 --> 01:33:41,479 Speaker 1: you're supposed to walk around now as a straight white 1538 01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:45,160 Speaker 1: male in this country, and if you're because remember if 1539 01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:48,280 Speaker 1: you're on the left, you're already doing this, or it 1540 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:50,800 Speaker 1: is assumed that you believe that white males should be 1541 01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:53,240 Speaker 1: doing this. Therefore you get a pass if you don't 1542 01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:55,880 Speaker 1: do it, but you're on the side of there's a 1543 01:33:55,920 --> 01:34:01,560 Speaker 1: problem with white males. That the patriarchy and toxic masculinity 1544 01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:06,360 Speaker 1: and white privilege. These are all different, all different things 1545 01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:10,760 Speaker 1: that come together for the left that with these, with 1546 01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:14,679 Speaker 1: these concepts, we are supposed to be in a state 1547 01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:22,559 Speaker 1: of perpetual self degradation, perpetual you know, putting putting down 1548 01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:26,080 Speaker 1: your own views on things, your own accomplishments, and this 1549 01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:30,960 Speaker 1: is now passing for some kind of introspection and thoughtfulness 1550 01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:33,160 Speaker 1: on the left. You know, if you walk around saying 1551 01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:36,799 Speaker 1: I'm a really I'm obviously a really bad person because 1552 01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:39,160 Speaker 1: of my white privilege, and I need to make sure 1553 01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:41,879 Speaker 1: that I keep my white privilege and check. People applaud, 1554 01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:48,840 Speaker 1: applaud this. People now say that your whiteness is something 1555 01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:51,120 Speaker 1: you have to be conscious of, I mean conscious of 1556 01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:55,880 Speaker 1: check your privilege. They say, huh, keep in mind that 1557 01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:59,479 Speaker 1: none of the rules that we have seen trot it 1558 01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:01,519 Speaker 1: out all of us. So once again, right now, the 1559 01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:06,920 Speaker 1: Democrats have they have not fired or nor have they 1560 01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:11,000 Speaker 1: forced the resignation of Northam in Virginia, two women on 1561 01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:17,000 Speaker 1: the record accusing Fairfax of sexual assault. Haring, the third 1562 01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 1: in charge of the state of Virginia, said that he 1563 01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:21,400 Speaker 1: also wore black face, and he hasn't gone awhere. None 1564 01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:23,760 Speaker 1: of these people have suffered any consequences. But now we 1565 01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:26,920 Speaker 1: are rediscovering, it seems just in time for this whole, 1566 01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:33,000 Speaker 1: this whole situation with Tucker Carlson. We're rediscovering that there 1567 01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:36,120 Speaker 1: are there are rules, and that if you are a 1568 01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:41,160 Speaker 1: white male, not only are you supposed to be always 1569 01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:45,360 Speaker 1: apologizing for who you are, you also have to be 1570 01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:51,720 Speaker 1: subject to any level of nastiness and hatred and vitriol. 1571 01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:54,880 Speaker 1: People can make fun of you. They can say whatever 1572 01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:58,360 Speaker 1: they want about you all day, all the time. They 1573 01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:02,040 Speaker 1: can they can make specifically your whiteness and ohs the 1574 01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:04,680 Speaker 1: typical white male racist and all this stuff. They can 1575 01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:10,280 Speaker 1: really engage in in the nastiest kinds of smears and 1576 01:36:10,400 --> 01:36:14,160 Speaker 1: undermining behavior as long as you're a white male who 1577 01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,800 Speaker 1: is not a Leftist, and they can do whatever they want. 1578 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:20,240 Speaker 1: And if you fight back or you say, you know, 1579 01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:22,519 Speaker 1: I don't approve of this, then they call you off 1580 01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:25,080 Speaker 1: for your privilege. I mean, this is a pernicious and 1581 01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:32,320 Speaker 1: destructive ideology. I mean leftism has really become a corrosive 1582 01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:37,880 Speaker 1: psychosis and it's gotten a lot worse. I don't sit 1583 01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,880 Speaker 1: here just telling you, oh this is you know, this 1584 01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:43,679 Speaker 1: situation is spiraling out of control. That situation is spiraling 1585 01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:48,760 Speaker 1: out of control. The Left has become psychologically corrupted in 1586 01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:52,080 Speaker 1: a way that gives me real concern, and I think 1587 01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:55,960 Speaker 1: anybody should be concerned at this point because they don't stop. 1588 01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:59,439 Speaker 1: I mean, we can't even draw red lines now with 1589 01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:01,800 Speaker 1: the idea that well, at least they won't go that 1590 01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:04,639 Speaker 1: far on that issue. No, they they keep looking at 1591 01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:08,960 Speaker 1: what is the what is the eventual extreme of the 1592 01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:11,959 Speaker 1: position that left could take, and they keep taking that position. 1593 01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:17,960 Speaker 1: I've got to pay very close attention to this. The 1594 01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:27,000 Speaker 1: show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call, 1595 01:37:27,240 --> 01:37:30,320 Speaker 1: first roll call of the week, which I'm hoping will 1596 01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:31,800 Speaker 1: be one of the best roll calls of the week. 1597 01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:35,960 Speaker 1: Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton to get in on 1598 01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:39,479 Speaker 1: the action and always good to hear from your team. 1599 01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:44,200 Speaker 1: Always appreciate when you write in David as this for 1600 01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:49,439 Speaker 1: us Buckman, Shields, KLBJ and podcast listener. I wish people 1601 01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:53,440 Speaker 1: would stop referring to the Steel dossier as opposition research. 1602 01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:56,439 Speaker 1: Oppo research is when you dig up real dirt on 1603 01:37:56,479 --> 01:38:00,200 Speaker 1: an opponent and expose it. The Clinton funded dossier was 1604 01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:04,799 Speaker 1: outright fabrication. It is lies, plain and simple. Two questions, 1605 01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:08,200 Speaker 1: Can those who brought this investigation be prosecuted for basic 1606 01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:12,160 Speaker 1: on false evidence and even more importantly, will they David? 1607 01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:14,280 Speaker 1: The answer unfortunately here, I think is going to be 1608 01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:18,680 Speaker 1: a little disappointing. Know the people that started the investigation 1609 01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:23,519 Speaker 1: the FBI using the dossier are very unlikely to suffer 1610 01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:26,280 Speaker 1: any kind of consequences or have any kind of drawbacks 1611 01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:29,880 Speaker 1: or problems for them professionally beyond what we've already seen, 1612 01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:34,439 Speaker 1: because they're operating within a realm of professional discretion, and 1613 01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:39,000 Speaker 1: federal employees are generally very protected when it comes to 1614 01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:42,120 Speaker 1: the conduct that they engage in on the job. Unless 1615 01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:46,200 Speaker 1: they do something that is knowingly and willfully criminal, it's 1616 01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:49,519 Speaker 1: very hard to give them anything beyond professional sanctions, and 1617 01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:54,800 Speaker 1: even those are hard to come by. Adam, it's on 1618 01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:59,000 Speaker 1: girls Scout cookies. I prefer the thin mints. Well, Adam, 1619 01:38:59,240 --> 01:39:04,599 Speaker 1: you are certainly welcome to your opinion on this one, 1620 01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:07,280 Speaker 1: and I haven't had a thimit in a long time, 1621 01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:10,280 Speaker 1: so maybe I'll have to give it a shot. Autumn 1622 01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:15,559 Speaker 1: Rights Kunichi wa okay Kunichi wautum or the last few weeks, 1623 01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:20,320 Speaker 1: I've been traveling through Asia on vacation. Typically your podcasts 1624 01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:24,120 Speaker 1: part of my daily routine, but while moving through communist China, 1625 01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:26,800 Speaker 1: I was concerned downloading your podcast using their sense of 1626 01:39:26,920 --> 01:39:29,040 Speaker 1: internet could be a problem. You might ask yourself, who 1627 01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:33,120 Speaker 1: would vacation in China? My answer is only a crazy person. 1628 01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:35,800 Speaker 1: I'm currently in Japan and downloaded your previous episodes of 1629 01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:39,040 Speaker 1: the podcast I missed during my time in China. Tonight, 1630 01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,640 Speaker 1: while walking through the side streets of Osaka, I was 1631 01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:43,800 Speaker 1: listening to make an impression of Bernie Sanders and I 1632 01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:46,960 Speaker 1: laughed out loud. Then it made me insanely nervous. After 1633 01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:49,000 Speaker 1: being in a communist country, I question, what's the difference 1634 01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:52,719 Speaker 1: between socialism and that? To me, I see no difference, 1635 01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:54,880 Speaker 1: and I can't help but wonder whether I experienced just 1636 01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:59,599 Speaker 1: days ago could become a dangerous and sober reality. Lastly, 1637 01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:01,519 Speaker 1: what is your opinion of Howard Schultz? Does he stand 1638 01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:03,760 Speaker 1: a chance of beating the Democrats? And while a conservative, 1639 01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:06,040 Speaker 1: it would be disengenuous to say I don't like him. 1640 01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:09,479 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on these much appreciated shieldsaye Autumn, Well, Autumn, 1641 01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:12,240 Speaker 1: I will. I'm going to be in China myself in May, 1642 01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:15,000 Speaker 1: so I'm hoping to be able to do the show 1643 01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:17,200 Speaker 1: from there, although I have to look into whether that's 1644 01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:21,200 Speaker 1: something I can do, not just technically, but whether that 1645 01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:25,200 Speaker 1: might be a problem. I've never been in Japan, very 1646 01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:28,519 Speaker 1: much interested in going there at some point. And as 1647 01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:32,320 Speaker 1: for your stuff on whether it can ever be a 1648 01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:36,519 Speaker 1: communist country here, I do think we face a very 1649 01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:38,799 Speaker 1: real threat of socialism, you know, when you think about 1650 01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:42,679 Speaker 1: when socialism had its real heyday in Europe and the West, 1651 01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:48,160 Speaker 1: it was, you know it, really my grandparents' generation was 1652 01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:52,880 Speaker 1: when you had the spread of socialism across Western Europe, 1653 01:40:52,960 --> 01:40:56,519 Speaker 1: the spread of socialism and then reaching its apex in 1654 01:40:57,040 --> 01:41:01,000 Speaker 1: the communism of the Soviet Union. That's not long ago. 1655 01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:07,160 Speaker 1: We haven't been a modern economy rooted in at least 1656 01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:11,720 Speaker 1: capitalist ideology for very long, and I think that it's 1657 01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:14,400 Speaker 1: easy for us all to assume that because this is 1658 01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:17,360 Speaker 1: the way things have been, this is the way things 1659 01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:22,840 Speaker 1: will continue to be, and that's not the case. We 1660 01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:27,320 Speaker 1: face a very real threat, in my opinion, of falling 1661 01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:31,519 Speaker 1: into the trap of becoming first a democratic socialist and 1662 01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:35,880 Speaker 1: then a more hardline socialist country, especially given some of 1663 01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:38,280 Speaker 1: the things I've an outlining here, like the debt and 1664 01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:42,760 Speaker 1: the problems we may have that are structural to our economy, 1665 01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:46,240 Speaker 1: and the amount of anger and rage and fear that 1666 01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:48,840 Speaker 1: will come from that. If if the bill comes due 1667 01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:51,240 Speaker 1: and we can't pay it in this country, that could 1668 01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:54,880 Speaker 1: very well lead to a kind of radicalization toward socialism 1669 01:41:54,880 --> 01:42:00,439 Speaker 1: and statism. And that's a very real concern. Richard Rights. 1670 01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,600 Speaker 1: I don't like your definition of well read. Hitler was 1671 01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:05,760 Speaker 1: an avid reader as a young man, but he read 1672 01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:11,200 Speaker 1: mostly garbage. Well, Richard, I can appreciate that you might 1673 01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:13,960 Speaker 1: have a different definition. I would just say this, there's 1674 01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:16,800 Speaker 1: so much out there to read that to come up 1675 01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:18,600 Speaker 1: with a list of what you have to read to 1676 01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:20,919 Speaker 1: be well read seems a little bit like a fool's 1677 01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:24,599 Speaker 1: errand to me. And I think that people who are 1678 01:42:26,479 --> 01:42:33,200 Speaker 1: generally reasonable and moral, people who make a habit of 1679 01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:36,400 Speaker 1: reading are going to come across a lot of very 1680 01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,400 Speaker 1: good stuff. And the more you read, also, I think 1681 01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:43,599 Speaker 1: the better your ability to pick your next read becomes. 1682 01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:46,320 Speaker 1: You have a better sense of authors and what you know. 1683 01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:49,760 Speaker 1: The big question that I often have for myself is 1684 01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:52,880 Speaker 1: what's an area that not just interest, not just to 1685 01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:56,680 Speaker 1: have an interest in, but where I could expand my 1686 01:42:56,800 --> 01:42:59,439 Speaker 1: knowledge next. And I try to have that direct sum 1687 01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,320 Speaker 1: of reading. I try to use that to guide some 1688 01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:06,400 Speaker 1: of my reading choices. Garrett, right, Buck, I'm begging you to 1689 01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:12,280 Speaker 1: to look at AOC Justice Democrats and jenk Eager. AOC 1690 01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:15,880 Speaker 1: is an idiot actor when she rambles offices, she knows 1691 01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:18,080 Speaker 1: nothing and is following a script. The list she was 1692 01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:21,439 Speaker 1: talking about is also mentioned the Justice Democrats website shields 1693 01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:25,840 Speaker 1: Hide Boy, Garrett, I will check it out, man. I 1694 01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:28,759 Speaker 1: don't you know. I don't know what exactly the Justice 1695 01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:32,680 Speaker 1: Democrats have done. And you know we are over the 1696 01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:35,000 Speaker 1: over the young Turks. I know who that guy is 1697 01:43:35,560 --> 01:43:39,400 Speaker 1: and AOC. Look, I find AOC really troubling. At first, 1698 01:43:39,439 --> 01:43:42,160 Speaker 1: it was Oh, she's young, she's new, she'll learn. No, no, 1699 01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:46,360 Speaker 1: she has no intention of really learning. She just wants 1700 01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:49,479 Speaker 1: to inflict her will upon the rest of us. And 1701 01:43:49,560 --> 01:43:53,599 Speaker 1: she has a very large and powerful echo chamber around 1702 01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:57,120 Speaker 1: her that will help her in that regard. So don't 1703 01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,679 Speaker 1: think that she's somebody that any of us can't ignore. 1704 01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:01,479 Speaker 1: Even if if you're not on social media and you're 1705 01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:02,760 Speaker 1: not as caught up in all this stuff as a 1706 01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:06,120 Speaker 1: lot of other folks. AOC is very bad news, make 1707 01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:10,479 Speaker 1: no mistake about it, Alan hey Buck. Has anyone challenged 1708 01:44:10,520 --> 01:44:14,040 Speaker 1: Bernie on his rationale for owning three homes? Since he 1709 01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:17,000 Speaker 1: is against the wealthy class, shouldn't he give the homes 1710 01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:19,200 Speaker 1: to people who need housing? I never see anyone asking 1711 01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:21,759 Speaker 1: him about it. Also, do the Green New Deal advocates 1712 01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:23,960 Speaker 1: say what will happen if the US follows their guidelines? 1713 01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,280 Speaker 1: But the rest of the world doesn't Will the world 1714 01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:32,240 Speaker 1: end in fifteen years instead of twelve? Alan, Bernie never 1715 01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:36,240 Speaker 1: addresses the he's so opposed to help to rich people. 1716 01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:38,880 Speaker 1: They've got so much money, so much stuff. But he's 1717 01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:42,240 Speaker 1: got three homes, Bernie, three homes. But for socialists to see, 1718 01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:44,559 Speaker 1: the thing is he has guests over a lot, and 1719 01:44:44,720 --> 01:44:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure that he shares those homes with the guests 1720 01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:50,960 Speaker 1: when they're there. So I don't know. Bernie gets away 1721 01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:53,559 Speaker 1: with a lot of things. And I do believe that 1722 01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:56,360 Speaker 1: Bernie is going to be the nominee. I do think 1723 01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:59,880 Speaker 1: that that's the likeliest scenario right now. I could be wrong, 1724 01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:05,320 Speaker 1: but come on, really, Tracy, excellent appearance on Fox and 1725 01:45:05,360 --> 01:45:07,880 Speaker 1: Friends over the weekend. You made some points that were 1726 01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:11,840 Speaker 1: very compelling, and the leftist condescension was magnified as immature, 1727 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:16,120 Speaker 1: exhibited exactly what I've always believed works in the advancement 1728 01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:19,480 Speaker 1: of conservatism. Argue our points of fact with humor, authenticity, 1729 01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:21,599 Speaker 1: and don't let them cut in and take over. Too 1730 01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:24,480 Speaker 1: many times we lose the point because of seeming unpreparedness 1731 01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:27,160 Speaker 1: coupled with timidity. You knocked it out of the part. 1732 01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:30,400 Speaker 1: Thanks Tracy, well, thank you Tracy. You know it's not 1733 01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:34,200 Speaker 1: easy these days, especially in this environment, where if you 1734 01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:36,559 Speaker 1: say something not even that is wrong, but that the 1735 01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:40,879 Speaker 1: left can in bad faith make the case is wrong, 1736 01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:45,839 Speaker 1: you could suffer consequences in the public square. And that's 1737 01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:49,439 Speaker 1: what we're up against. It's not just that the rules 1738 01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:52,840 Speaker 1: are hard to the rules are too strict about what 1739 01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:56,679 Speaker 1: we can say. They're not enforced against both sides equally, 1740 01:45:56,680 --> 01:46:00,479 Speaker 1: but even beyond that, they are enforced in a way 1741 01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:04,160 Speaker 1: where it's not even honest. You know, their view of 1742 01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:06,360 Speaker 1: what you've said or done is not even honest. So 1743 01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:09,719 Speaker 1: they don't just say, well, you can't say that. They'll 1744 01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:12,080 Speaker 1: say you can't say that. And if your responses but 1745 01:46:12,160 --> 01:46:14,519 Speaker 1: that's not what I said, it doesn't matter to them. 1746 01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:17,760 Speaker 1: They're just looking for ways to destroy their political opponents, 1747 01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:21,439 Speaker 1: which is what they what they like to do. And 1748 01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:23,760 Speaker 1: that's why Media Matters and move on dot org and 1749 01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:28,160 Speaker 1: these left wing organizations are trash bags. They're bad places 1750 01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:33,040 Speaker 1: where bad people choose to work. And I am not 1751 01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:36,439 Speaker 1: going to stop saying that because it is true, and 1752 01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:38,080 Speaker 1: I think that the truth should be something that we 1753 01:46:38,120 --> 01:46:41,679 Speaker 1: share freely. Here, Will writes Buck good Hit on Fox 1754 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:44,679 Speaker 1: and freends with Ed Henry and that left wing nutbag. 1755 01:46:45,040 --> 01:46:46,960 Speaker 1: I wish you had more time to challenge him on 1756 01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,439 Speaker 1: the climate change is real nonsense, But the leftist didn't 1757 01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:52,800 Speaker 1: look like he would remain composed if you challenged his religion, 1758 01:46:52,920 --> 01:46:54,600 Speaker 1: you know, Will, I mean climate change is real is 1759 01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:57,559 Speaker 1: just a stupid point. It doesn't mean anything. I think 1760 01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:59,880 Speaker 1: climate change is real too. I think that the climate 1761 01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:01,720 Speaker 1: probably going to go up a degree or down a 1762 01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:04,160 Speaker 1: degree over the next hundred years. I think that it 1763 01:47:04,200 --> 01:47:07,000 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter and that nobody really knows. But I 1764 01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:08,920 Speaker 1: think the climate change is real. It's going to happen. 1765 01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:13,240 Speaker 1: What I don't think is that we should take massive, well, 1766 01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:17,559 Speaker 1: we should take massive government based intervention into the markets 1767 01:47:18,280 --> 01:47:20,960 Speaker 1: in order to avert a catastrophe that's just not going 1768 01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:23,760 Speaker 1: to happen, and create a catastrophe in the process. And 1769 01:47:23,800 --> 01:47:27,000 Speaker 1: that's just insane, But that is what the left wants 1770 01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:31,400 Speaker 1: to do. Jerry ritz Buck, if you'd please do a 1771 01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:33,160 Speaker 1: segment on this topic. Right here, we are seeing a 1772 01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:36,599 Speaker 1: rise in infectious diseases in the US. Back when Obama's 1773 01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:39,000 Speaker 1: in office and he was addressing the immigration issue, I 1774 01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:41,560 Speaker 1: picked up on something and got on the CDC website. 1775 01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:44,120 Speaker 1: The CDC used to have a map on it that 1776 01:47:44,160 --> 01:47:47,080 Speaker 1: showed areas that there was a risk in rise of 1777 01:47:47,439 --> 01:47:50,040 Speaker 1: infectious disease. I look at the map, all the states 1778 01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:51,720 Speaker 1: adjacent to the southern board and all the way up 1779 01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:55,840 Speaker 1: the west coast of Washington, and about three months later 1780 01:47:55,840 --> 01:47:58,240 Speaker 1: I visited the CDC website again to locate that map 1781 01:47:58,280 --> 01:48:01,440 Speaker 1: and was gone. Today look at a rise in measles 1782 01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:04,280 Speaker 1: cases and other diseases. Personally, I believe it is due 1783 01:48:04,280 --> 01:48:07,519 Speaker 1: to people entering our country illegally. Most are coming from 1784 01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:10,120 Speaker 1: poverty certain countries, and I would be willing to say 1785 01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:12,200 Speaker 1: that ninety nine percent of them don't have the proper 1786 01:48:12,479 --> 01:48:16,000 Speaker 1: immunizations required by the CDC guidelines to enter our country. 1787 01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:18,479 Speaker 1: All the more reason we should have that wall in place. 1788 01:48:18,920 --> 01:48:21,120 Speaker 1: I wish this would be investigated and made public. Another 1789 01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:24,719 Speaker 1: reason to declare national security national emergency at the border. 1790 01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:28,200 Speaker 1: Think about one pandemic of evola or something of that 1791 01:48:28,280 --> 01:48:30,360 Speaker 1: nature could wipe out thousands of men, women and children. 1792 01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:34,400 Speaker 1: Just a thought, Jerry, Jerry. The rise in infectious diseases 1793 01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:36,520 Speaker 1: that we're seeing along the border is real. It is documented. 1794 01:48:36,560 --> 01:48:39,799 Speaker 1: I have already spoken to people in immigrations and customs 1795 01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:45,200 Speaker 1: enforcement about it.
