WEBVTT - Trumping Obama 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:16.160 You are entering the freedom hunt. Obama is back on 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:19.560 the campaign trail. The Democrats think he's their secret weapon. 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.560 But oh guests, who steps in to neutralize him right away? 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.680 The actual President United States, Donald Trump. We'll talk about 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.680 how this class of the Titans went down today, and 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:35.879 also Papadopolis has been sentenced. Even bigger joke than we 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.440 thought when you look at the Russia collusion delusion. That 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.599 and more coming up on The buck Sexton Show. This 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.879 is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:50.959 is to decode what really matters with passionable intelligence. Make 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.160 no mistake American, let me bring you're a great American again. 0:00:54.320 --> 0:01:06.640 The buck Sexton Show begins. No and he said, what 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.679 do you think of President Obama's speech? And I said, 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:16.959 I'm sorry, I watched it, but I fell asleep. I 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:22.600 found he's very good, very good for sleeping. Welcome to 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:29.120 the buck Sexton Show, everybody. President Trump responding today after 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:35.000 we had a a a long dose of obamasm. Everybody, 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.920 remember that, Remember when we used to have to sit there? 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.080 And so I'm gonna set her, I'm gonna rid off 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:41.960 a promper. I'm gonna talk to you him like this, 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:44.880 I don't know what what I'm gonna say things. We're gonna 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.400 be a lot of strawman. I'm gonna destroy the strawman. 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.800 But you're to say that I'm brilliant, because if you 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.080 don't say I'm brilliant, the media is gonna attack you. 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:58.400 I'm not gonna say that you're terrible. Oh my gosh. 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.880 Obama speeches one thing I just I don't miss at all. 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.320 There's not one days passed. I'm like, you know what, 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.000 I could really use an Obama's speech. And it was 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.880 a reminder today that Obama was effective at giving speeches 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.600 to liberals that adored Obama. But you know, once you 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.360 once you get a little a little blast of the past, 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.239 you remember what it was like. It was terrible all 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.720 the time, you know, just creating these straw men, never 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.840 really engaging in the other side, all kinds of bad faith, 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.880 saying things that just aren't true, and just such a 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:36.120 such a condescension, a constant condescension, uh, across party lines. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.720 And it's just not something we missed. And here's the 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.680 big thing that I took away from today. We're gonna 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.399 buy the way, We're gonna dig into what Obama said 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.640 because he's now supposed to be. I mean, look, the 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.920 folks were in the last leg here before the mid terms. 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.960 The House and the Senate are in play. You know, 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.600 it could go either way with both of them. People 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.000 are saying the House is a done deal for the Democrats, 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.920 although I don't think that's the case. But this is 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.200 important stuff. And they've brought out Obama because they obviously 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:10.680 think that Obama is their secret weapon. You know, they 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.880 know that maybe having hello, I want you to vote? 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.240 Do you like my pants suit? They realize that that 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.680 may not get it done. That Hillary Clinton may not 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.920 be the best possible option as brand ambassador for the 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:33.720 Democratic Party. But Barack Brocket smooth brock is uh is 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.760 compelling in a certain way, and you know he's he's 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.080 also a winner. You got look, look, let's not let's 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:44.960 not delude ourselves. You want twice. Hillary is a loser, Okay, 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.160 Barack is a winner. So you know. But but they 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.120 bring him out and they're assuming that he can help 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.400 reconstitute the coalition that voted for him. But they got 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.920 some problems. One is a problem of history and the 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.960 other is a problem that's us. Come along. Let me 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:05.400 first over the problem of history here. Over eight years, 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:10.120 Obama was very successful at pushing himself. What he was 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:14.000 not very successful in doing was promoting the Democratic Party 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:19.279 and helping the Democrats from whether we're talking about congressional seats. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.280 Obviously the Senate was lost to the Republicans during his tenure, 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.360 but the real damage was done to the state parties 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:31.000 where you have Republican state assemblies and Republican governors just 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:36.440 running the table against Obama for eight years, which is 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.760 pretty astonishing. I mean he by the time Obama last 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:45.080 left office, across all different elected offices, Democrats were in 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:46.840 the weakest position they had been and I think in 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.600 a hundred years, which is really saying something. So that's 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.560 the problem of history that Obama has. He has not 0:04:53.720 --> 0:05:00.120 been successful at pushing other candidates. And then he got 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.440 another problem of the present, one that we haven't really 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:11.359 seen yet until now. Trump versus Obama is something that 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.840 I don't think Democrats really want to play out, even 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:18.360 in a media sense. Now. What I mean by that is, 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.760 of course the left is going, you know, the Democrats, 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.479 they all know Obama was scandal free, and he was 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.080 so you know, so eloquent and and decent and and 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.400 all that. You know that they come they're completely Obama's 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.480 rewriting his own history. And we'll get into this and 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.400 I'll give you a nice dose of truth as we 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:43.120 go through it. But Trump won't play by the rules 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.840 that constrained Mitt Romney, and yes, the rules that constrained 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:53.600 John McCain, which was that you can't really go after Obama. 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.799 You know, you can't make fun of him. Mitt Romney, 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.279 John McKain. They never made fun of Obama. Never, oh 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:07.440 my gosh, make fun of Obama. How could you? And 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.599 you all know that would have been the reaction, right, 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.479 But things have changed now, you weren't a different political climate. 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.880 We have a different president. He will mock Obama and 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.040 I will I will tell you something. One thing about 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:25.480 Obama that it was very apparent, was that he has 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.800 no self of humor about uh, a sense of humor 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:34.440 rather about himself. You know, he he very uh pointedly 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.599 once told a bunch of reporters like there that they 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.320 he was very sensitive. They couldn't make any because you know, 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.400 when they do these political cartoons, they would show his 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.880 ears and he was very sensitive about his ears. Meanwhile, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.520 with Trump, they're making fun of you know, they're making 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.680 fun of Trump's his you know, they say he's orange 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.640 and he's fat, and they make fun of his genitalia 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.320 in his hands, and I mean, you know, they completely 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:58.760 they try to humiliate Trump and it doesn't really work. 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.720 It doesn't matter. Obama has never been exposed to that. 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:09.040 He's never been on a big stage where somebody else 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:14.000 can actually call him out and make fun of him, 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:19.720 to ridicule him. And I think that Democrats don't realize 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:24.520 what they're in for here, the same way that that 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:28.720 Hillary became crooked Hillary and Trump just had her number 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:32.080 the whole time and knew exactly where to go with 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.240 Hillary and exactly how to how to position himself against her. 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.840 If they're really gonna use Obama as the rallying cry 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:41.640 of the Democrats and if he's gonna be the primary 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:46.760 surrogate out there, which I would also note is I 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:52.520 think a little uh, you know, it's it's not I'm 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.119 not gonna it's not dishonorable, but it's we We would 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.360 like it if presidents didn't leave office and then still 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.560 act like they're the president, or still act like they're 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.760 the leader of the of the party that you know 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.080 that that's that's there's a message there that's not one 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:06.920 that we want in this country. Right. We don't want 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.680 a perpetual president. We don't want somebody that's always kind 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.600 of at the head of government, whether they're officially there 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:17.560 or not. George W. Bush stepped aside that was the 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.680 president that he had. Now you could say that that 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.360 doesn't mean that everybody else has to do it. But 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.600 I think there's a wisdom in that, and clearly Obama 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:30.040 has thrown that way out the window. But they think 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:34.120 that Obama, the left thinks that Obama is invincible as 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:38.400 a political figure. I think you got your first segment 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:44.960 and your first taste today of what would happen if 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.040 you really had Trump and Obama go head to head. 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.040 And this is one of the reasons why I think 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.760 people are so so so many of us, myself included, 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:58.520 are so enthusiastic about Trump is because we're sick of it. 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.000 We're sick of the other side, whether it's Obama or 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.360 Hillary or anybody. We're sick of them being able to 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:09.480 say any throw out any slander they want, throw out 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:14.439 any uh, you know, any personal attack, you know, in 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.000 any mockery, that they feel like they can get away with, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.680 which is basically anything. And our guy always sits to look, well, 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.400 you know, I'm a boy scout and I don't really 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.560 want to say anything mean. And you know, no, no, no, 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.320 no more of that. You know, you you you want 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.960 to play rough. We've got somebody, politically speaking, that will 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.080 also play rough. Obama has never been subjected to that. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.439 Think about who think about who ran against him, folks politically, 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.040 Hillary in the primary and he beat her. Of course, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.439 you know she they could go after him, but there 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.840 were some limits there. Hillary wasn't. Hillary had some red 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.760 lines when it came to going after Obama and she 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.720 knew she's running looks she was running against the first 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.240 black president if he beat her in the primary. I mean, 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.720 there were sensitivities there that within her own party. She 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.360 I'm not saying she totally respected them, but that she 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:04.840 had to be aware of them. John McCain, you know, 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.240 has had this whole approach of really the most important 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:10.920 thing to John McCain was what the New York Times 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.720 editorial board thought of him when all was said and done. Uh, 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.320 in that in that campaign, you know that that was 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.560 how that was what he really cared about and Mitt 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:25.520 Romney it's just not a rough and tumble guy. So 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:31.720 who has ever been up there with similar uh, you know, 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:37.280 with with uh there's the same level of political firepower. 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.360 You know who who's been out there with a megaphone 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.560 to match Obama's. Who will really call him out the answers, folks, 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.400 It's never happened before. And I had assumed that Obama 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.880 would kind of play the elder statesman of the Democratic Party, 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.840 that he would, you know, play kingmaker, behind the scenes, 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.120 do media stuff. He's obviously gonna be He's already fabulously wealthy, 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.440 but he's gonna be worth you watch, Obama was gonna 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.480 be worth a billion dollars. I mean he's you know, 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.240 he's probably worth a hundred million right now. He'll be 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.840 worth a billion dollars. And just give it some time 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.320 because people will throw money on him to do any 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.440 everything and anything. Oh, I wouldn't note that, you know, 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:16.520 he was gonna give a speech in Denmark. I think 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:22.520 it was that they they we're going to um, you know, 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.719 the Obama speech everything. I think he's gonna have a 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.679 speech in Denmark, and he threatened to pull out of 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.559 the speech, if they made his contract public, I really 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.040 want to see what that speech contract is like and 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:33.800 how much you know, Obama is getting paid and all 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:38.600 this other stuff. Anyway, Um, this is this is kind 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.400 of like, folks, you know, do you really want to 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.640 put your prize fighter in the ring with somebody when 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.480 you know, when when you you think that you know, 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:51.920 Obama's got an undefeated record, and if they put him 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.440 out through the public stage, look, he's never gonna get 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.559 to run a campaign against Trump, and and so we're 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.160 never going to see that. But in the camp, in 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.000 the campaign of public opinion, I don't think this is 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:05.240 gonna go the way the left things it is. Trump 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:09.079 is is a is a scrapper, straight up, He's a 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.920 he's a puncher, he's a slugger. And they want to 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.439 keep their undefeated prize fighter Obama. The Democrats should keep 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:20.439 him out of this, don't you know, Because it's the 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.560 myth of Obama's invincibility is going to go away very 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:30.280 quickly if he starts tangling publicly with Trump. That's my prediction. 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.520 And I don't think the left, because look, they've missed, 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:38.040 they've they've underestimated, miss underestimated borrow from a bush. They've 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.720 underestimated Trump at every step of the game, at every 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:44.040 at every juncture. So we can't put it past them 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.160 and do the same thing here. And that that's my 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:52.840 that's my sense after rest. Wow, they really they really 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.920 don't understand that. You know, the the Obama era rules 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.839 are gone. Now Trump doesn't have to say Obama is 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.520 the smartest person who've ever lived. Trump doesn't have to 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:07.679 say that Obama is the most brilliant, elegant, ethical, amazing 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.840 DEMI god do have ever run for America and has 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.520 never been in an American office or run for an 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.199 American office. That he doesn't have to say that he 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:19.840 doesn't care. It's not playing by those rules. Uh, Obama 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.600 is not ready for that. And now look, I I 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.200 know there's a lot of other stuff that's gonna get 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.280 that's already in the mix for the midterms. And you know, 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:28.959 who knows, this may be the one and only Obama 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:33.199 speech we see, although I doubt that. Uh. And if 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.640 I were advising the Democrats, I'd say keep these races 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.320 local and try to fool you know, If I were 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.600 advising Democrats, I'd be like, try to convince as many 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.600 voters as possible that you're not really Democrats and get 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.199 people to vote for you, and then, of course, you know, 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:50.360 do whatever Nancy Pelosi says, which you don't want. Is 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.960 a reminder of what we went through for eight years. 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.719 You know, you gotta look, there's there's a there's a 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.400 lot here, folks. We're gonna we're gonna go We're gonna 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.679 definitely work through this one together. Eight four four to 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.520 eight to five eight four buck. It's like a it's 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.120 like a tropical storm here in d C. The swamp 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.199 is getting getting clobered with some kind of a storm 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.160 around me. So hopefully we empower in the building stays on. 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.000 But anyway, Uh, it's gonna be good. Folks, got a 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:31.000 great show today. Stay with me. Two d one thousand 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.240 jobs added last month. It's a big number. Positive sign. 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.440 Christ and Romans are cheap. Business correspondent here with me. 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.360 Look it keeps getting better and better and better. Well, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.440 this is better than economist thought. It's pretty much in 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.560 line with what we've seen all year. You've got two 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.600 hundred one thousand net new jobs. And when you look 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.880 at the trend, you know they always say the trend 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.480 is your friend. Here, and this shows more than two 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.480 hundred thousand jobs on average for most of the year. 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.840 That means unemployment rate is still stuck there at that 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.680 three point nine percent. That is a generational low. That 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.200 is what many economists consider are full employment. You have 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.480 six million job openings today in America, six million job openings, 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:06.840 and what you hear from companies is they don't have 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.800 the skilled workers to fill them. So there's sort of 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:14.400 the disconnect. Disconnect. Yeah, here's the disconnect, folks, is that 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.640 we got the media trying to say that Trump is 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.320 a Kremlin puppet and that he's crazy and should be 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.680 removed from office on mental fitness grounds. Meanwhile, they have 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:26.280 to run these reports like yeah, it's better than all 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.520 the economist thought, and it's like the best it's been 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:33.880 in a generation. And the economy is like completely booming, 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:38.080 and it's weird, like things keep just getting better and 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:43.160 better in this country. Like I don't understand, Like why, 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.640 oh it begins with the T and ends with the P. 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.120 They don't want to hear it though. They don't want 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:55.280 to hear it, they don't want to believe it. I mean, like, folks, Yeah, 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.960 it's funny that Obama comes out today how to give 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.760 a speech, and of course he he tried to to 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.000 take some he tried to take credit for the current economy. 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.280 So he's been out of office almost two years and 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:15.440 he's like, yeah, it's because of me, right sure. Um. Meanwhile, 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.880 when you when you look at what's happened over the 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.440 last year in particular, uh, and what the tax cuts 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.880 have done, and what how businesses, it's businesses aren't saying, 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.200 you know, we've been feeling good for years and this 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.680 is there saying, Wow, what a relief. Things have gotten 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.560 so much better, almost like something really important changed about 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:40.080 eighteen months ago or so almost like that. I guess 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.360 more now it's more like I don't know what the 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:47.520 months are, but you know that's that's I think something 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.040 that we all need to remember, your folks. Obama comes out, 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.120 we were being told you can go back and see 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.600 in the end of the Obama administration, they were editorials 0:16:54.640 --> 0:17:01.560 about how America should just expect low, slow, oh weak 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:07.600 economic growth for the foreseeable future. Obama's economy was lower 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:11.760 your expectations. That was the message. Lower your expectations, and 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.520 you're not paying your fair share and you're not doing 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.879 enough for the poor, and you have, uh, you know, 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:24.760 way too much that's been given to you by virtue 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:26.359 of the fact that you're working, and there are a 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.639 lot of people that don't work and they need more stuff. 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:34.280 I mean, it's just it was bad, bad, bad, and 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:40.120 now we're getting a little reminder of that. Folks. Anybody here, 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.639 anybody listening to this show right now, I think that 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.920 they would be better off if Obonna was running the economy. 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:46.840 I mean, maybe there're a couple of Democrats right now 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.479 listening to think that. I know, we have some some 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.240 liberals who listened to the show. Probably even have some 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:53.920 hardcore leftis who listen to this show. They're like, I 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.040 don't understand. How does this guy know so much? But 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:03.960 the Trump economy is irrefutable right now, and going into 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:05.960 a midterm election where that is a that is a 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.399 verifiable fact that the economy is in an irrefutably good, 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:15.760 strong and growing position, should mean that the American people 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.760 reward the party in power for doing such a good 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.480 job on all aspects of government. To us that matter, 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.280 things are actually going quite well. Um, but Obama doesn't 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.760 think so. I want to I want to take a 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.440 little bit of a of a tour through Obama's speech 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.359 that I just because of the rewriting of history that 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.520 went on there. And then we'll talk about Popadapolis he 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.400 got sentenced today, and the kind of uh, last bit 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.240 of the Kavanaugh hearing good news is I think Kavanaugh 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.440 is getting through, folks, the done deal at this point, 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:59.879 all that's coming up. Stay with me. He's holding the 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:06.000 line for America. Buck Sexton his back. It should not 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.680 be democratic or republican. It should not be a partisan 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.280 issue to say that we do not pressure the Attorney 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:16.159 General or the FBI to use the criminal justice system 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:28.240 as a cudgel to punish our political opponents, or to 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:32.199 explicitly call on the attorney general to protect members of 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.320 our own party from persecution, prosecution because an election happens 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:41.200 to be coming up. I'm not making that up. That's 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:47.760 not hypothetical. It shouldn't be democratic or republican to say 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.480 that we don't threaten the freedom of the press because 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:57.760 they say things are published stories we don't like. Oh boy, 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:02.280 there's so much here, folks. Obama's back. I don't think 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.280 it's going to have the intended effect. I don't think 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:10.359 Democrats really know what what this is gonna mean for 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.280 them if they keep going in this direction. We're in 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:16.960 a different world now, we're in a post Obama political environment. 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:22.000 The rules have changed a few things. First off, when 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:27.040 he said instead of prosecution, persecution of people in Trump's party, 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:29.960 if there is such a thing as a Freudian slip, 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:32.640 that certainly felt like one, because they are being persecuted. 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:41.080 The Russia collusion investigation is persecution. Uh. And I will 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:43.480 talk to you about the Papadoppolis sentencing that that will 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:45.760 be probably the next hour, but we'll get to that. 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.600 All these Liberalsh is sentence, Susan isn't severe enough. That's right, 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.080 because anybody who's near Trump should just have their life ruined. 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:55.720 That's there. That's the way that we're supposed to deal 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.639 with this. And any anybody who's ever been in you know, 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.280 been in the same room as Trump should there should 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.120 be no sympathy, no mercy, no decency extended to them. 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:08.200 That's the way the Democrats wanted. But this this idea 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:12.720 that that Trump is interfering, you know, obstructing in d 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:17.920 O J in ways that Obama never would. That's interesting 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:21.159 because I seem to remember I seem to recall that 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:27.280 Hillary Clinton was under investigation by Lauretta Lynch, attorney generally 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.760 United States the time worked for Barack Obama, and Barack 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:38.280 Obama decided. Barack Obama decided that he would share his 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:41.399 thoughts rather freely on the issue of Hillary's emails. Remember, 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:45.200 Hillary shared Special Access program data on an unclassified server. 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.000 This is some of the most sensitive stuff the US 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.119 government has, folks. She just had her on our computer 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.840 just you know whoop. See, she had over a hundred 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:57.560 classified emails on her system. She did this because she 0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:02.639 was trying to evade the require firorenments under regulation to 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:08.359 uh maintain her emails for public disclosure. She was trying 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:10.399 to maintain control of a record. And I've always upheld 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:12.920 that it's because she was worried that, you know, there'd 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:16.080 be one. All it takes is one person to slip 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:18.640 up and say, oh, you know, we've got that big 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:22.160 Clinton Foundation donor you gotta take a meeting with her 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:25.560 at the State Department. Now, all it takes is one 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.040 email like that and the whole game would be up. 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:31.719 So she wanted to control all the emails because she 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.160 knows that if people actually knew what she was doing 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:37.320 still running the Clinton Foundation or involved with the Clinton 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:40.080 Foundation while she's Secretary of State, it would be obvious 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:42.320 that it's a giant slush fund, and she was selling 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.240 access and selling her office. That's why she had the 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:52.360 private email server, folks. That is why. But Obama was 0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.280 very willing a numerous occasions to weigh it on this. 0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:57.399 Here's what he had to say about Hillary's emails. Play it. 0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:00.680 Hillary Clinton was an outstanding Secretary of State. She would 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:05.760 never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy. And 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:08.520 what I also know, because I handle a lot of 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:13.320 classified information, is that there are there's classified, and then 0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:16.840 there's classified. I continue to believe that she has not 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.879 jeopardized America's national security. Now, what I've also said is 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:28.639 that and she's acknowledged that there's there's a carelessness in 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:35.120 terms of managing emails that she has owned and she recognizes. 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:37.720 But I but I also think it is important to 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:44.560 keep this in perspective, folks. That's essentially the the template 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:49.879 of what Comey ended up saying. Obama gave marching orders 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.560 to the Department of Justice and the FBI on TV 0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:59.639 about Hillary's emails. Didn't didn't didn't threaten national security, classified 0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:03.040 class fied, you know, but you know there was a 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:09.080 bit of carelessness, extremely careless. That's what Comey said. That's 0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:15.240 exactly what Obama said. Oh you mean that this is 0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:19.760 almost like the fix was in. Yeah, it was. And 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:21.760 this all this other notion by the way of classified 0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:27.520 classified Special Access Program data s a P is very classified. 0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:33.040 And she had that on her emails. So she's just 0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:37.080 this is a fantasy. And and liberals keep saying this, 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:39.119 keep saying, oh, look at what Trump is doing the 0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:43.960 d o J too. No, I'm sorry, We're not gonna 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:46.800 play this game anymore where they act like Obama was 0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:49.560 beyond reproach with came the d o J. Far from it. 0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:58.600 And on press freedom, I'm about to have a buck 0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:01.520 slap myself moment here. You've got to be kidding me. 0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:07.159
