1 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Welvandi gives a press 2 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: conference and people start battling it out over whether he 3 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: did say quid pro quos happened in Ukraine. Also Maddis 4 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: mox Trump, a major shootout with Mexican drug cartels, and 5 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: the war on testosterone ATAM more coming up on The 6 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show where 7 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: the mission or mission is to decode what really matters 8 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American. Ready, you're a 9 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: great American. Again, the buck Sexton Show begins. He's a 10 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: great guy. Now, welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Everybody. 11 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: Wonderful Friday here in NYC, mid late October really probably 12 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: my favorite time of year in this town. The weather's great, 13 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: good things happening here. So very much pleased that you 14 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: can be joining us. For people like me who don't 15 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: like the super hot weather, this is better. You know, 16 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: I get too sweaty, you know what I mean? Producer Brandon, 17 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: producer branded in the house today for producer Mark who 18 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: what is he in like Tahiti or something? Pre is 19 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: he on pre honeymoon scouting? Is that or Tahiti? Pittsburgh 20 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: it's all. It's all the same. It's all the same, 21 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: all right. So we've got some important stuff to get 22 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: to today. Oh, a little bit of testimony that comes 23 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: out that a State Department official told Congress that he 24 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: thought that hunter Biden's Ukraine dealings. This is back in 25 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. We're a little shady, maybe, but they were ignored. 26 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: Of course they were shady. We'll get it. We'll get 27 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: into that for sure. Also, we have a ceasefire between 28 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: Turkey and the Syrian Kurds. We've got General Maddis out 29 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: there mocking Trump, which look, Trump mocks Maddis. Maddis can 30 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: mock Trump. We're all I expect everyone to be big 31 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: boys in this world, and that's just the way it is. 32 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: We'll talk perhaps about that. We'll have our friend Andy 33 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: McCarthy joining us later on to talk about impeachment stuff, 34 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: and my man Yone Grillo from down in Mexico where 35 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: he's been one of the best international journalists covering the cartels, 36 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: he'll tell us about I mean, there's video out there 37 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: that's just it's jaw dropping of cartel members with fifty 38 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: caliber rifles getting into gun battles with Mexican police and 39 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: federalis and it's all about the arrest of a major 40 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: cartel member anyway. So there's twelve police officers have been 41 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: ambushed and the last and murdered in the last forty 42 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: eight hours alone in one incident in Mexico. So some 43 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: stuff happening there. So you've got a Friday. We're going 44 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: to cover a lot of ground. But I wanted to 45 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: start with something that is a little bit of a 46 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: departure from what is at the top of the news 47 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: cycle right now, because we'll get into that. Sure, you 48 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: listen to the show, so you know that I will 49 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: cover the most important news stories of the day every day. 50 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: But I wanted to switch the switch to the script 51 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: also because yesterday I had said to you that I 52 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: was going to cover this topic, and then I did 53 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: not cover this topic. So here's I just forgot. Because 54 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: we're in the midst of rocking and rolling with the show. 55 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: It just seemed to me like I had so many 56 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: other things that I had to get to. The war 57 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: on testosterone. I think yesterday I referred to it as 58 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: whether testosterone has an effect on or has any connection 59 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: to masculinity. Harvard University Press put out a tweet I 60 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: think since deleted that raised the question does testosterone have 61 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: a connection to masculinity in any way, shape or form. 62 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: A lot of people looked at this and thought, yes, 63 00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: it does. And it's in reference though to a book, 64 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: but a book that's part of a much larger effort. 65 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: The book is written by a woman from I think 66 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: Brooklyn College, Katrina car Kazis, and she has written a 67 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: book that is about testosterone, the Myths of Testosterone, and 68 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: she was interviewed in GQ magazine. Remember the basic myth 69 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: and we'll go through some of the details here, is 70 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: that testosterone has anything to do with masculinity. That's really 71 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: the myth that they're trying to tackle. And this is 72 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: how the interview in GQ magazine published this week went, 73 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: how do you think the idea that masculinity is rooted 74 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: in biology impacts the ways that our society view gender? 75 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: And the author writes, as me too was heating up. 76 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: There was a conversation between writers Roth Dolfin and Rebecca Treyster. 77 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: She asked him what's the root of this and he 78 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: said testosterone. I think he was joking, but people believe 79 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: that and if we accept that gender hierarchies are tied 80 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: to evolution in biology, then it seems impos able to change. 81 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: So let's just understand. This is establishing right away what 82 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: the purpose of this book is that gender characteristics are 83 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: not only not only are they not deeply rooted in 84 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: us at the cellular level, that there's really no biological 85 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 1: basis for gender differences sex differences. They will say, of course, 86 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: there is a physical difference between a male and a 87 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: female body, but gender difference is intrinsic to the body, 88 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: and therefore, in our psychology that is to be rejected. 89 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: And now this is the recurring effort. It's not the 90 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: first time this has happened. And I'll get into that, 91 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: to pretend that science backs up this idea that there 92 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: is no such thing as a genetic gender difference. Okay, 93 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: and she continues on to this. Remember this isn't GQ magazine. 94 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: There's trying to put this out there for people in 95 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: the pop culture world who don't know very much, not 96 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: even about science. Very few of us, let's let's be honest, 97 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: very few of us have a science background very much 98 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: about including really this author. By the way of the book, 99 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: I'll deal with that This is another moment that when 100 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: you look at the bio the background of someone who's 101 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: being held up as a visionary in the field, like 102 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: Bill Nye, the science guy. Hey, Bill Nye, the science guy, 103 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: better deal with climate change. I'm a scientist. Man. Turns 104 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: out Bill now the science guy. You know what, he 105 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: has an undergraduate degree, Producer Brandon, in mechanical engineering. But 106 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: that means he's a climate expert. Undergrad degree, not even 107 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: a master's mechanical engineering. So you got that going for you, 108 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: Bill Nye the science Guy. This author Katrina carkazis who 109 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: who has written a book here on whether testosterone has 110 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: any effect on gender. She is a cultural anthropologist. And 111 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: I will admit to you now it probably shouldn't admit 112 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: this on this show. I once took a class and 113 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: called a cultural anthropology in college, and it was the 114 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: ultimate what we called class like joke class. It was 115 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: a class that you took if you knew you were 116 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: going to be hungover on Friday's. This was the class 117 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: that you took because what are you really? What are 118 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: we re learning in cultural anthropology? It's really sociology as 119 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: applied to history. So it's just a big it's just 120 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: all a big left wing scan. Really. I'm sure there's 121 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: some relevance, just like there's some stuff in sociology that's 122 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: interesting or relevant, but it has become a discipline that 123 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: is dominated by the left. Cultural anthropology is entirely dominated 124 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: by the left. So she has a PhD in that 125 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: no medical science background, a social science background that's made 126 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: to sound a little bit like it's more sciency, and 127 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: then we go on here. In this interview in GQ magazine, 128 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: author has asked again about the testoster industry. She writes 129 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: that testosterone often gives men a pass for their negative 130 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: behavior and a pass for their success. With Titans of 131 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: Wall Street, for example, testosterone didn't have anything to do 132 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: with those men reaching the highest level in their field. 133 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: There are other structures that elevated men and suppressed women. 134 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: If biology and testosterone aren't the explanation, then we have 135 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: much harder work to do of addressing the social causes. 136 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: This is very straightforward, folks. The scientific community, which unfortunately 137 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: now is riddled with activists all over the place, and 138 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: particularly the social sciences, soft science is posing as real science. 139 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: That's even worse, they are trying to undo what we 140 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: already know about biology and science and gender. Then is asked, so, 141 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: if we move away from the idea that biology explains 142 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: the behavior we associate with gender, how could we open 143 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: the definition of masculinity a little wider in our culture? 144 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: I hope that she responds that we can stop attaching 145 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: so many behaviors to masculinity as though they're exclusively the 146 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: province of men, because they often happen to be things 147 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: that are valued, like risk taking or athleticism. Conversely, I 148 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: think we're reaching a point where we can shove more 149 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: under the umbrella of masculinity, men staying home and parenting 150 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: their children, or addressing their feelings in public in ways 151 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: that are currently understood as non masculine. There are many 152 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: things that are shared human behavior, et cetera. Folks, This 153 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,599 Speaker 1: is all about writing a book, which is part of 154 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 1: a broader movement, by the way, as you know, the 155 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: movement right now, the obsession of the progressive left is 156 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: to undo what we already know about gender and gender 157 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: roles and to say that it's a spectrum and it's fluid. 158 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: In fact, I would argue this woman probably has a 159 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: PhD in gender fluidity, which is really what this is 160 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: the active is cause there are men and women are 161 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: not distinct in any meaningful way. It's always a social construct. Well, 162 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: if it's a social construct, that means that we can 163 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: reconstruct that part of our society and nothing will stop that. 164 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: Boys aren't a little bit more rambunctious and aggressive in 165 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: the sandbox and don't want to play with dinosaurs and 166 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: dump trucks because they're boys, it's because we make them. 167 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: And girls don't like dresses and don't like things that 168 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: are a little bit more associated with the feminine and 169 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: don't want to know, bake cupcakes or whatever in the 170 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: easy bake of it. They don't do that because the 171 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: women's because we make them do it. Unfortunately, thousands of 172 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: years of human history and who knows how long we 173 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: could go back in our evolutionary history, prove that to 174 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: be untrue. And science, which has xx and x y 175 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: chromosome in every single cell of the human body differentiating 176 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: between male and female, also proves that to be untrue. 177 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: And this is not the first time this movement of 178 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: erasing genders has been trying to appropriate science for what 179 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: is clearly a social cause. By the way the erasing 180 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: of gender does a lot of things. It's it's part 181 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: of radical equality. It often translates this was the Soviet 182 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: Union is very interested in in erasing traditional gender roles. 183 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: Gotta have women, Gotta have women in the factories too. 184 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: The state will take care of your babies. This state 185 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: will take who does that sound like? By the way, wow, 186 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: have you universal child care for everybody? And only the 187 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: rich people will pay for it? The senator from Massachusetts. So, 188 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: gender roles are under attacked by the left for very power, 189 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: very important, very powerful reasons. This is not just an 190 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: intellectual exercise and that which starts in the academy and 191 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: starts with somewhat fringe books or publications like this. Although 192 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: GQ is certainly relatively mainstream, it's very left wing. By 193 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: the way. I've picked it up occasional in the airport, 194 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it should be g Kami boom. 195 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: But the good news is that there are actual, real 196 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: scientists out there, like Heather Heying. I will address her 197 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: criticisms of this book, of this denial of biological reality 198 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: that is at the heart of so much progressive gender 199 00:11:54,160 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: neutrality stuff. I'll base it off of some of her work. 200 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: All right, So we're talking about testosterone. An unauthorized biography 201 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: a new book that's out there right now which sounds 202 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: like it could be a book with schwartzon egg on 203 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: the cova and he's he's doing the flexing and he's like, hey, 204 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to Why are you looking at me 205 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: like I'm crazy? I'm saying it could You don't know 206 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: what the book's about until you write you must be 207 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: using all the testosterone for the muscle growth. But it 208 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: turns out that's not what the books about it all. 209 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: The book is written by a left wing PhD academic 210 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: who's trying to tell you that there's no link between 211 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: testosterone and what we think of as male behavior or 212 00:12:53,520 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: male male tendencies. And the basic argument that is leveled 213 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: for this is that because women have testosterone as well, 214 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: it can't be that testosterone causes these things because women 215 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: have it too. Well, that's a stupid argument because men 216 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: also have estrogen as well as testosterone. So it's about 217 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: the biochemical balance in one system and cellular structure and 218 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: things that, quite honesty, science is really just beginning to 219 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: fully understand or research in any capacity. But it's much 220 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: easier to just say, well, testosterone has nothing to do 221 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: with gender roles, has nothing to do with As I said, 222 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: what why are are men more aggressive than women in general? 223 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: I mean, look at look at statistics about assaults over 224 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: ninety percent. I think it's over ninety five percent. Might 225 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: didn't be over ninety nine percent, but it's definitely over 226 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: ninety percent of violent assaults in this country are committed 227 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: by men. All right, So I guess I'm I'm gender 228 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: bashing my own gender right now. We are We are 229 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: more violent than the ladies out there than than females. 230 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: Is that social construct or? Is that just because men 231 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: are different than women? It's a very interesting, very interesting question, 232 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: isn't it? Also? Why are men generally larger, heavier, physically 233 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: stronger these sorts than women? Is that a social constructors? 234 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: Because men and women? Now you might say, buck, this 235 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: is such a this is ridiculous. We all know these things. Ah, yes, 236 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: But the true radical progressives subverts that which you know 237 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: to be true and forces you to bend the knee. 238 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how obvious the truth is. In fact, 239 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: it is an exercise of their power to make you 240 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: abandoned things that could not be more intuitive, more obvious, 241 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: more based, in reason and rationality. If they can make 242 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: you say men and women are the same, they can 243 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: make you say anything. Ah. Now it all starts to 244 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: make sense as a means of remaking society, doesn't it. 245 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: I mentioned to you that there fortunately is still some 246 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: sanity out there in the science world. And this from 247 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: an actual biologist named Heather Heying, who has come under 248 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: a lot of attack from the left for a bunch 249 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: of reasons, probably because she still bases things in biology 250 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: and science. So she wrote today in a thread, I 251 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: haven't read the book in question, Testosterone and Unauthorized Biography, 252 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: but it claims to debunk the idea that testosterone and 253 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: masculinity are connected. It is full of confirmation bias. If 254 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: this is true, it has zero evidence of evolutionary or 255 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: statistical thinking. Then she goes on into some further detail here. Luckily, 256 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: in a biology department in the mid nineties, declaring that 257 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: females and males behave differently and are assumed to have 258 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: asymmetrical interest was not yet a cancellable offense. See, this 259 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: is all part of cancel culture too. Cancel culture extends 260 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: to science. Say something people don't like, and you have 261 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: to get fired. You can't be a scientist anymore, even 262 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: if it's rooted in scientific fact. The truth can be 263 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: too dangerous to society. In fact, scientific truth can be 264 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: too dangerous to society the left believe. Heather goes on, 265 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: here we are in twenty nineteen with an esteemed university press, 266 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: Harvard publishing garbage pseudo research, and glossy magazines jumping on 267 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: the let's hate on all that men are and might 268 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: be bandwagon. If this subset of women really thinks that 269 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: female dominated leadership and ways of being are the right 270 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: move into the future, how about they model awesomeness in 271 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: that realm. Instead, what we get from these radical left 272 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: feminists is a mix of hateful, uninvestigative, juvenile, snarky pap. 273 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: She says that she looked into this question in the 274 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: nineteen nineties specifically, and guess what testosterone is very much 275 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: responsible for, not just physical changes right deeper voice, beard, 276 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: Hey beard, there we go, producer Brandon, or your beard 277 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: is way more masculine than mine, body hair, all these things. 278 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: You see this as a teenager. We know these things 279 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: from just living that testosterone is real and changes things, 280 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: but that also has a change in behavior. They researched this. 281 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: Back in the nineteen nineties, there was this movement to say, oh, 282 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: testosterona and shirt. Here we are again being told that 283 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: this is not there's no connection at all, and it's 284 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: a denial of reality. And that's what so much of 285 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: left wing based science turns into very quickly, whether it's 286 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: climate change or this or people that there's you know 287 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: when you talk about when life begins. There's all these 288 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: different areas where the science is rejected by the left, 289 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: but on gender specifically, they are aggressive about it. The 290 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: left is aggressive about to nine gender, as I told you, 291 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: because if you can eradicate gender roles, you can completely 292 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: remake society in a pure Marxist authoritarian mold. That's really 293 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: I know it sounds crazy, but it's the eradication of 294 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: the family because family roles entirely change the state raises children. 295 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: That is the goal here, and they're trying to leverage 296 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: pseudoscience to do it. Oh, so what do we have 297 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: coming up? I'm glad we talked about the war on testosterone, 298 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: which some people might just say the war on testosterone 299 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: is vox dot com, but you know, there's there's a 300 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: war on testosterone that's going on out there in the 301 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: scientific community. I want to talk to you about the 302 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: ceasefire in Turkey, will hop though into the latest impeachment 303 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 1: RUCKUS as well, and this situation in Mexico is just 304 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: a reminder that we have a deeply corrupt, unstable, violent 305 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: neighbor to our south in Mexico, and there's not a 306 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: whole lot of media coverage of it. And I'd like 307 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: to address why that is. He's back with you now, 308 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: because when it comes to the fight for truth, the 309 00:18:53,119 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: fuck never stops. We started to negotiate, and I think 310 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: that obviously the sanctions and tarifts who are going to 311 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,479 Speaker 1: be very biting. I'm glad we don't have to do it. 312 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: We'll be taking them off very quickly as soon as 313 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: this is finalized. But this is an incredible outcome. This 314 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: outcome is something they've been trying to get for ten years, everybody, 315 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: and they couldn't get it other administrations, and they never 316 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: would have been able to get it unless you went 317 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: somewhat unconventional. I guess I'm an unconventional person. So there's 318 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: a ceasefire that the President his team, really it was 319 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: Pence and Pompeo negotiated for Turkey and the Kurds and 320 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: the President. They're touting it as a huge, a huge victory. Unfortunately, 321 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: shelling is reportedly already underway once again, so there's still 322 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: some fighting between Turkish and Syrian forces. The President says, 323 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: though this is a I'm sorry Turkish and Kurdish forces, 324 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: Kurdish Syrian forces, and President says that this is a 325 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: good thing. And to that I would just I would 326 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: say that the amount of outrage that I've seen generated 327 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: on the left and the right over what would really 328 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: be a couple of days of fighting. Now, granted it 329 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: is between a NATO ally and an ally of ours 330 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: on the ground, the Kurdish YPG militia, the Syrian Defense Forces, 331 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: but the amount of outrage and the effort to try 332 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: to make it seem that President Trump is responsible for 333 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: all of what's gone on in Syria, that this civil 334 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: war that's killed the half a million people, stretching back 335 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: to twenty eleven, twenty twelve, that Trump, who's been in 336 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: office only for a few years, and during that time 337 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: the violence has been considerably less in the Syrian Civil 338 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: War than it was in the latter part of the 339 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: Obama administration or even in the really the second Obama 340 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: terms when most of the heavy fighting was going on there, 341 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: and everything is Trump's fault somehow. The situation of Syria, 342 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: which has been unstable. I mean, go back and look, 343 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: you'll see that the French were bombing Syria at one point. 344 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: The amount of fighting that I mean I'm talking about 345 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: back now, and the I think was the nineteen it 346 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: was after the First World War in nineteen twenties. Maybe. 347 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there's been fighting going on in this part 348 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: of the world for a very long time. These factions 349 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: on the ground are going after each other and have 350 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: been for as long as they've been around. It is 351 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: just a place where you're going to see continued instability 352 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: and violence. There's just no way around that. We promised 353 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 1: the Kurds their own state, or I mean the international 354 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: community I should say, promised the Kurds their own state 355 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: back in the day, in the time of Woodrow Wilson. 356 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: Never actually happened. The Kurds or the largest stateless people 357 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: in the world. So there are anywhere from twenty to 358 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: forty million people of Kurdish ethnicity and depending on which 359 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: number you take, but they're still the largest non stated 360 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: or non state minority in the world, and they are 361 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: spread out really along Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. That's 362 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: where the Kurdish population is mostly found. And we wanted 363 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: to give them a state, but we don't have a 364 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: state for them, and it's not going to happen anytime soon. 365 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: And so the situation now is we've told the Turks 366 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: back off, and there might still be some shelling and 367 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: some fighting here and there, but it sounds like or 368 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: at least there's the possibility that they may really indeed 369 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: back off, and the Kurds are building some kind of 370 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: alliance with the Assad regime in Syria, which would be 371 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: helpful not just for pushing back on Turkish incursions into 372 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: Syria in territory, by the way, but also against the 373 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: Islamic state. What is a better circumstance that we have. 374 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, it was fifty soldiers we're talking 375 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: about moving. People really have been reporting on this like 376 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: like it was Pearl Harbor or nine to eleven, it 377 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: was some catastrophic event that would change an era. It 378 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: was some fighting in a place where there's been basically 379 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: endless fighting stretching back now seven or eight years with 380 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people killed. So why the focus 381 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: on this as such a horrific event. And I might look, 382 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: all all war is bad, every casualty is a tragedy. 383 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: This is it's a nasty situation of there's no question 384 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: about it. And for the US Special Forces soldiers who 385 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: were embedded with these Kurds to have to leave them 386 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: in this way unexpectedly, I can understand why they feel 387 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: very upset about that. But the commander in chief, the 388 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: President United States, is trying to make a decision that 389 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: will get us out of a mission creep situation in Syria. 390 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: And I mean, I remember when it was considered wise 391 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: to avoid any US boots on the ground in Syria. 392 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: I remember when that was the conventional wisdom. And now 393 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: we have boots in the ground in Syria and we're 394 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: being told, well, they won't stay there that long and 395 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: and there won't be much of an escalation. Really do 396 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: you trust that? Should any of us trust that? I 397 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: think we all know the answer. You know, Rand Paul 398 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: is saying we should get out of there. Trump is 399 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: saying we should get out of there. The Democrats would 400 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: be saying we should get out of there. Except it's 401 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: more important to them to have a few news cycles 402 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: where they can bash Trump than to make a decision 403 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: for national security that could and very likely would save 404 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: a lot of US lines down the line. It's just 405 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: more it's that's the truth. That's more important to them 406 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: to bash Trump than to do what is and what 407 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: they believed until Trump was president was in the interest 408 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: of US national security. And then they're also just lying 409 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: about things and saying things that are really stupid in 410 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: this process. Here's Nancy Pelosi play clip twice to the 411 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: subject of conversation. Yet, as you know, that was the 412 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: subject of conversation yesterday at the White House. I also 413 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: pointed out to the President I had concerns that then 414 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: l roads seemed to lead to putin. The Russians had 415 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: been trying to get a foothold in the Middle East 416 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: for a very long time, unsuccessfully, and now the President 417 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: has given them opportunity. That is blather. That is a 418 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: completely nonsense, garbage, factually untrue statement that Nancy Pelosi, Speaker 419 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: of the House, most powerful democrat in the country, just 420 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: said on national TV in front of everybody. Because it 421 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: was useful to the goal of bashing the president of 422 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: the United States. The Russians have been trying to get 423 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: a foothold unsuccessfully until Trump. I don't know if Nancy 424 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: is a moron, or if she's just never looked at 425 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: a map or doesn't know any history, or all of 426 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 1: the above. The Russians have had a ba in Tartus 427 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: on the Mediterranean for well since nineteen seventy one, over 428 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: forty years Russians have had a base there, So I'm 429 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: pretty sure a military base that can accept all Russian 430 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: nuclear sobs and Russian battleships and whatever else they've got. 431 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: Pretty sure that's a foothold when you have a base 432 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: on the Mediterranean that you've had for over forty years. 433 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: But then add to that the notion that unsuccessfully the 434 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: Russians all roads lead to Putin. This is part of 435 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 1: the Putin's puppet narrative, the Nancy plosa. This is why 436 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: you can't trust these people. And they talk about national 437 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: security because it's all about political advantage for them. They 438 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: have no real interest in doing what is best for 439 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: the country, and their criticism is rooted in hatred of 440 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: Trump more than it is hatred of the enemy. This 441 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: is just the truth. The Russians, the Iranians. They flooded 442 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: in in spet SNAs Russian Special Forces, Iranian IRGC Revolutionary 443 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: Guard Corps. They showed Hezbulla fighters backed by the Iranians 444 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: flooding in from Lebanon. I was in the Syrian refugee 445 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: camps and talking to you and representatives there right after 446 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: Hezbulla fighters from Lebanon had just gone in and essentially 447 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: just eradicated a whole town on behalf of the regime. 448 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: And we're now being told by Nancy Pelosi that until 449 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: Trump came along, the Russians didn't have a foothold there 450 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: is That is idiocy, that's an It's an indefensible statement, 451 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: not only because of the base, but because the Russians 452 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: went into Syria and turned the tide of that war 453 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: for the Assad regime. While Obama was like, let's not 454 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: get too involved, let's not do anything here. Don't want 455 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: to be Bush. Can't be Bush. That was the sum 456 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: total of the thinking of the foreign piles. It was 457 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: really two things. Actually, can't be Bush and the Obama 458 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: administration wanted to make sure that whatever they were doing, 459 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: whatever we try to do in Syria, wouldn't upset the 460 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: Iranians too much. Remember, the Iranians back the Assad regime. 461 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: The Russians are tied to the Iranians. The Russians back 462 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: the Assad regime, and the Iranians back Lebanese Hezbollah next 463 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: door to Syria that also backs the Assad regime. And 464 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: really Lebanon's a client state of Syria. But that's a 465 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: whole other discussion. But with all of that, the storyline 466 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: here is that Trump gave the opening. It wasn't the 467 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: Russian bombing of Aleppo, for example, which was indiscriminate and 468 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: vicious on behalf of the regime. It wasn't. That wasn't 469 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: a foothold or Russian paramilitaries and intelligence officers on the ground. 470 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 1: We blew up the Trump administration. President Trump as Commander 471 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: Chief blew up two hundred Russian paramilitaries in the desert 472 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: in eastern Syria who are on their way to attack 473 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: our Kurdish allies. That's a pretty heavy day of losses, 474 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: isn't it. Oh and those are Russians. They were not 475 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: officially Russian military, but they're Russian paramilitary. And now, as 476 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking about this, not only Nancy Pelosi lying about it, 477 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: but who really thinks that we're going to be able 478 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: to figure this mess out better than Iraq, better than Afghanistan. 479 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: What evidence is there that the political settlement that people 480 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: talk about now as though that's just going to happen. 481 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of like a people talk about a negotiated 482 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: settlement with the Taliban. I'm sitting here waving my hand saying, hey, guys, 483 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: I would look, I spent a lot of time in 484 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: Afghanistan about ten years ago. We're here in the same 485 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: thing then that we're here, and now the security situation 486 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: was just as bad, really actually worse now than it 487 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: was then. It's the same story all over you. Oh, 488 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: we can't leave until we have a negotiated seliment with 489 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: the talent. We're not going to negotiate it seling with 490 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: the Taliban. I mean, nothing that's worth the paper that 491 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: it's printed on. So do we want to do? We 492 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: want to live in reality before we're talking about people 493 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: using pseudoscience to justify the eradication of gender roles, and 494 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: it's just a denial of reality. Are we going to 495 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: deny reality in the Middle East too? I'm hearing all 496 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: these voices of people who sound like, oh, we could 497 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: we could never have been okay, when could we? At 498 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: what point would it be safe to quote abandon the courage? 499 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: Remember we still have a thousand troops there and we're 500 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: going around leveling sanctions against a NATO ally to get 501 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: them to stop attacking the Kurds. A that's a pretty 502 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: big deal. When would it be safe for us to 503 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: leave when Syria's stable? When Syria's stable, but not because 504 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: the Assad regime has taken over these areas. This is absurd. 505 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: Who's the government of Syria? We don't want to say it. 506 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: And there was a whole regime change mantra under the 507 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: Obama administration. Who's the government of Syria? Here's the answer? 508 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: The Assad regime. Doesn't feel good to say it. It's 509 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: not right. Shouldn't be the case, guys, A butcher. What's 510 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: the alternative? Who what's the other answer? When you look 511 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: at this, when you put the chess pieces on the 512 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: board and look at things as they are and not 513 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: as we either wish them to be or and don't 514 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: get alinded by all this anti Trump criticism or this 515 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: Trump is the worst person ever, worst commander in chief ever, 516 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: not fit for the office. Look at what's really going 517 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: on what were you supposed to do, Get a negotiated 518 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: settlement with what? In what? That's better than we have 519 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: right now in what way? Now there's this buffer zone 520 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: that Turkey's talking about thirty kilometers along the Turkish Syrian border. 521 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: But the Assad regime working with the Kurds and having 522 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: an alliance with the Kurds that will be useful for 523 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: suppressing the Islamic State. I'm not saying Asad wouldn't be 524 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,479 Speaker 1: willing to use the radicals for his own purpose at 525 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: some point in the future, But you know, alliance has 526 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: changed the middle of least all the time up to 527 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: this point, the Jihadis of the Islamic State have wanted 528 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: to kill Assad and his whole family and everybody who 529 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: works for him and take over. So Assad and the 530 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: Kurds can box in Isis and keep it from being resurgent. 531 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: That's much better than what we've been dealing with. We 532 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: help the Kurds in their own territory, by the way, 533 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: defend themselves and then go and eradicate the Islamic States. 534 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: So they've gotten a big benefit out of this too. 535 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: They lived there, We didn't air drop them in from nowhere. 536 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: We're like, hey, can you go do this fighting first 537 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: in a country you've never been to. We were helping 538 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: the courage protect their villages, their towns, their lives. But 539 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this is a simple issue. Trump 540 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: is evil. Trump is basically worse than Hitler, and everything 541 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: he does is terrible. That's the subtexts of a lot 542 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: of the foreign policy criticism that I'm seeing. And you 543 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: can say, how could we abandon the Kurds? I keep 544 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: pointing out, what were we supposed to do? Yeah? Should 545 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: we have given them more warning? Absolutely? Should the President 546 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: have gone about this as quickly as he did and 547 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: what seemed like a somewhat haphazard fashion. Probably not. But 548 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: is he right on these strategic importance of not allowing 549 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: us to get drawn deeper into this conflict. Let the 550 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: Russians and the Turks and the Kurds and the Syrians 551 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: and the Iranians, let them figure this out. It's really 552 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: not our problem. And people don't seem to want to 553 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: hear that for some reason, as they so they want 554 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: as though they want another generation of Americans from you know, everywhere, 555 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: from from coast to coast, showing up and fighting over 556 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: there for people who in many cases don't want us there, 557 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: aren't grateful we're there, are attacking us, and even if 558 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: we do stabilize our country for them, they'll say, you know, 559 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: thanks and kick us in the butts on the way out. 560 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: Get out. No done, Let other people do this. Would 561 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: I go fight? I'll ask you what I go? Or 562 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: how about this? Because I never saw the military serve 563 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: in the CIA. Would I joined up in the agency 564 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: and and go deploy and go try to help out things? 565 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: Right now? To patrol the streets of Rocca. I would 566 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: want to do that, Not that I'd be patrolling the streets, 567 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: but you know, I wouldn't want to have that be 568 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: something yeah, counterterrorism, things like that, But we don't need 569 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: to have a major military presence in Syria to do that, 570 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: and we shouldn't. Yeah, but this is where we are, folks. 571 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: It's all it's really just all about attacking Trump. That's 572 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: what this is all about. I do stand before you, 573 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: as was noted here, really having a chief greatness. I mean, 574 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: I'm not just an overrated general. I am the greatest, 575 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: the world's most overrated. And this is no small part. 576 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: I would tell you I owe New York, I owe 577 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: New York for this because Senator Schumer have I thank 578 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: you for bringing my name up in a rather contentious 579 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: meeting in Washington where this grew out of. So I 580 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: would just tell you too that I'm honored to be 581 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: considered that by by Donald Trump. Because he also called 582 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: Meryl Streep an overrated actress. So I guess I'm the 583 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: Meryl Streep of generals, and frank you, that sounds pretty 584 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: good to me. Look, General Maddis, I've heard from some 585 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: of you who served under him and know him. You 586 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: guys say that he's great. I don't know him, and 587 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: you know the guy. You can't question the depth and 588 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: duration of what he did for his country. So and 589 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: he's allowed. He's allowed to Trump is going to poke 590 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: at him, He's allowed to poke back, no question about it. 591 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: I think Meryl Streep is kind of overrated. I was 592 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: gonna say, why is you the best actress of all time? 593 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: Who says so? I don't know. So maybe maybe I'm 594 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 1: in the minority here, but I just think that calling 595 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: him the Meryl Streep of actress of generals rather, I 596 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: do think she's overrated. So there's that. I mean, not 597 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: as overrated as Bruce Springsteen, for example, as a musician, 598 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: where are you on Bruce Springsteen? Brandon? A little overrated? 599 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: He's all right, but I'm not over rated. Let's just 600 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 1: be honest about it. But a little over it. I'll 601 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: take that one from me. At least you're not a 602 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen super fan. Not a super fan. Plus I 603 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: don't hate them, but yeah, you know whatever.

There was a consideration about whether that would 658 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: happen based on, in part, whether they would tell us 659 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: what happened with the DNC server in twenty sixteen CrowdStrike. 660 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: CrowdStrike was funded by Ukrainians. There's this strange twenty sixteen 661 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: election Ukrainian connection, and there's also concerns about corruption and 662 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: they wanted that to be looked at. That is not 663 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: the same thing as telling the Ukrainians, hey, you have 664 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, or 665 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: else we are going to withhold military funds from your country. 666 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: That is not the same they're gonna say it is. 667 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: It's not the same thing. And then Mulvani's talking about 668 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: how there are quid pro quos and foreign policy all 669 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: the time. Of course there are, of course there are. 670 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: Whether he mentioned the Northern Triangle countries Honduras, El Salvador 671 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: and Guatemala being told, look, you guys got to help 672 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: us more on some of these immigration issues, and we're 673 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: gonna stop sending you checks courtesy of the American taxpayer. 674 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 1: In fact, think about it this way, it would be absurd. 675 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,240 Speaker 1: You could very clearly argue it would be somewhat insane 676 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 1: for there not to be a quid pro quo in 677 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: aspects of foreign policy. The question is just is there 678 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 1: a legitimate reason for the quid on our side? Is 679 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 1: there some basis for it, whether it's help and foreign policy. 680 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: So now we have to get do is it a 681 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: legitimate line of inquiry for the President of the United 682 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 1: States to push the Ukrainians or for his foreign policy 683 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: and to push the Ukrainians to look at possible hacking 684 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: involving the DNC servers and Ukrainian CrowdStrike and who looked 685 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 1: at what and what they found out and Russia collusion 686 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 1: origins stretching by the twenty sixteen, which the dj is 687 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,760 Speaker 1: actively investigating now. In fact, Durham Up in Connecticut, the 688 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,919 Speaker 1: US Attorney is looking at exactly that issue. And there's 689 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: some interesting meeting in Italy and looks like we might 690 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: be finding out some more about mister mif Sued pretty 691 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,280 Speaker 1: soon here. Remember mif Sued was part of the getting 692 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 1: Papadopolis to tell Downer, the Australian diplomat, that he had 693 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: heard something about Hillary's emails in the hands of the Russians. 694 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: Remember that guy miff Sued. Who is he? Why do 695 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: we know so little about him? And we know more 696 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: the journals do more to find out about somebody who 697 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 1: posts an anti CNN video meme online than they do 698 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: about mith Sued who may be the point man for 699 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: an entrapment scheme to begin the entire Russia collusion farce 700 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 1: against President Trump. But is it illegitimate to look into 701 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,840 Speaker 1: corruption Ukraine? Is it illegitimate to try to find answers 702 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 1: to these questions? Of course not so if there's a 703 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: legitimate purpose that it would also be bad for Democrats 704 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 1: and benefit Trump. Does not make it illegal for sure, 705 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,799 Speaker 1: and doesn't make it unethical, makes it too bad for 706 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: the Democrats. And that's really what mulvanny was saying there, 707 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,280 Speaker 1: which is, you know, first of all, quid pro quos. 708 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: Foreign policy is largely based on that you do this 709 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: for me, I'll do this for you. You pay us 710 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 1: this money, we'll give you this trade deal. You know, 711 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: you help us on this foreign nation stabilization mission, and 712 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: we'll give you this check for aid, you know, whatever 713 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 1: it may be. It happens all the time. People are 714 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 1: using this term quid pro quo like like it's some 715 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 1: sort of in itself a smoking gun. Oh you did 716 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 1: something for someone and they did something for you. And 717 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: foreign policy that must be bad. But this is what happened, 718 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,880 Speaker 1: the Trump's arrangement syndrome. It fries the synapses of people's brains. 719 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 1: They can't really, they can't really function anymore in the 720 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 1: normal plane of human reason and understanding the quid pro quo. Oh, 721 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: we found the quid pro quo. Move then he's like, yeah, 722 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 1: we found the quid pro quo. But now he's everyone's 723 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: trying to say, oh, and he's got to walk it 724 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 1: back because it's unclear, and he made this situation worse. Well, 725 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 1: it's because they've created this frenzy around that term, so 726 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:52,839 Speaker 1: that when he says, yeah, there is a quid pro quo, 727 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 1: let's they see he's admitted, but he's not admitting to 728 00:44:55,320 --> 00:45:00,280 Speaker 1: what they're saying. He's admitting to the Ukrainians did can't 729 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: even know that the aid was under review. How can 730 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,840 Speaker 1: you have something that's it quit pro quo when you 731 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 1: don't even know what is being offered and what the 732 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:14,439 Speaker 1: exchange is The answers you can't. But there's still Look, 733 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: they think the future of the country is at stake here, 734 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,799 Speaker 1: and if you have to lie, if you have to 735 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 1: go along with a flimsy story. But you think that 736 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,200 Speaker 1: the future of the country is really at risk. Is 737 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,280 Speaker 1: that the right thing to do? I think the Democrats 738 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: certainly believe that it is. I think that they think 739 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: whatever they have to do at this point in order 740 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: to go after Trump is just fine. By the way, 741 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: the reality here is that impeachment is an anti democratic process. 742 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: Impeachment is elected officials deciding for political reasons to get 743 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 1: rid of a or start the process of removing a 744 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 1: president from power and from office. That we are even 745 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 1: considering this in the year twenty nineteen going into the 746 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election, or rather that the Democrats are offering 747 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 1: this up as a necessary corrective, just goes to show 748 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: you how corrupted their mentality has become with regard to democracy, 749 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: our system of government, our sacred institutions. I don't care 750 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 1: about any of it. This is just a pure power play. 751 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,760 Speaker 1: It is malice wrapped in revenge, or perhaps revenge wrapped 752 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 1: in malice. That's what this is. A Nancy Pelosi more 753 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 1: or less admitted as much that this is not about 754 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,280 Speaker 1: really what the voters want, although I'm seeing these polls 755 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: that say fifty two percent fifty two percent of American 756 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,319 Speaker 1: people want Trump want the impeachment inquiry to continue. Well, 757 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,799 Speaker 1: first of all, that's because the way they've set it up, 758 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,399 Speaker 1: this is what's all propaganda, folks, it's all it's all 759 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 1: a game. It's all wrong. And if I were analyzing this, 760 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: if we're back in the CI and analyzing this as 761 00:46:58,440 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: though I was looking in a foreign country, I'd say, oh, 762 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: this is quite clear. What they're doing is calling it 763 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: an impeachment inquiry and just the very term. And the 764 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 1: Democrats can set their own rules here what is the process, 765 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 1: and they're supposed to respect the processes of the past 766 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 1: and impeachment. They're not doing that, of course, but by 767 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: calling it an inquiry, it make it sound like it's 768 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: an investigation. Of course, you want the answers in an investigation, 769 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: just like the Muller probe. Right, how could you not 770 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,400 Speaker 1: want the Muller probe to be completed? Don't we want answers? 771 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,360 Speaker 1: How could you want the impeachment inquiry to not be completed? 772 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,359 Speaker 1: Don't you want answers? Oh? I guess yeah, I want 773 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 1: to answer sure. Ah. So, therefore, the public supports the 774 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,839 Speaker 1: impeachment inquiry, and very very soon that will morph into well, 775 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,479 Speaker 1: the public must support impeachment then, because why else would 776 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:47,799 Speaker 1: you have an impeachment inquiry is it's all dishonesty. It's 777 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 1: all just meant to mislead people, to mobilize the anti 778 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,960 Speaker 1: Trump left and to give the Democrats a political weapon 779 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: against him. Oh but here's what Pelosi play clip six. 780 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:03,400 Speaker 1: Please keep saying that people, impeachment is about the truth 781 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,760 Speaker 1: and the constitution of the United States, any other issues 782 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: that you have, disapproving of the way the president has 783 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:15,359 Speaker 1: dealt with Syria, whatever this subject is, reluctance, cowardice to 784 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 1: do something about gun violence, the cruelty of not wanting 785 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: to help our dreamers and transgender people, the denial about 786 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,920 Speaker 1: a climate crisis that we face. The list goes on. 787 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 1: That's about the election. That has nothing to do with 788 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 1: what is happening in terms of our oath of office 789 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 1: to protect and defend the Constitution and the facts that 790 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 1: might support And we don't know where this path will 791 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,399 Speaker 1: take us, but could take us down a further path. 792 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:49,399 Speaker 1: But these two are completely separate. But if we say, 793 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,359 Speaker 1: let's let the voters decide, who said that, I'm saying, 794 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,360 Speaker 1: at what point might you say, let's just no, no, 795 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 1: we the voters are not going to decide whether we 796 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 1: honor our oath of office. They already decided that in 797 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 1: the last Voters aren't going to decide this. Pelosi's coming 798 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: out and saying that, of course, and we know that 799 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 1: that's true. But I would also note that that list 800 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 1: that she rattled off about cowardice to do something on 801 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:15,319 Speaker 1: gun violence, cruelty to trans people, climate change crisis, all 802 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: these things, that is actually what is pushing the impeachment, 803 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: all this stuff about process. They hate him because of 804 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: the policies, and they hate him because of who he is. 805 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 1: And then they've tried desperately to find some failure within 806 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:37,360 Speaker 1: his conduct of the presidency to create the pretext or 807 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,320 Speaker 1: remove him. But they hate him for all these other reasons. 808 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:44,360 Speaker 1: They would find something in the process, but it's the 809 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: substance of Trump that they object to so much. It's 810 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: the substance of this president that they cannot abide by, 811 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: that they cannot accept. That's, my friends, that's what's really happening, 812 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 1: which is why Nancy Pelosi feels the need to tell us, Oh, 813 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 1: it's not about policy, that's for voters. This is about 814 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 1: something more than that. Oh yeah, like what violating his 815 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 1: oath of office to uphold and defend the constitution. How 816 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: has he done that? Exactly? Where's the constitutional violation? Where's 817 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: the oath of office violation? Conducting foreign policy? What? What 818 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 1: is the what's the problem here? But they just say 819 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: these things and people believe it all. I guess you 820 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,840 Speaker 1: must have violated his oath of office. That's really that 821 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 1: sounds really serious. Can have this guy around anymore? It's absurd. 822 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: But the Democrats are really an increasingly absurd bunch. I 823 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,359 Speaker 1: wish we could go back to the mean. I wish 824 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,880 Speaker 1: we could go back to some sense of Democrat political 825 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:43,680 Speaker 1: normalcy for what I used to think of as a 826 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,319 Speaker 1: Democratic party in the past, which was one that you 827 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: knew that these impulses were all under the surface for 828 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:58,720 Speaker 1: totalitarian cancel culture and open borders and modern monetary theories. 829 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: Spend all the money you want, does matter. The rich 830 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 1: will pay for it. Even if they can't. We'll figure 831 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,359 Speaker 1: it out. I all these you knew that it was there, 832 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 1: but they used to go through the motions of trying 833 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 1: to convince us that wasn't really what they're all about. 834 00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,719 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party today, it doesn't even try to hide 835 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:15,480 Speaker 1: the crazy.

Look, the president's out there saying 867 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 1: straight up they're going to look into what happened in 868 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,319 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen election. Why is it the Democrats got 869 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,399 Speaker 1: to run the Special Council, got to do all these things, 870 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,799 Speaker 1: all these leftists, all these trumpeters, they got to have 871 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 1: their version of twenty sixteen, used the government to do it, 872 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 1: media beating the drums all along. This is what needs 873 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 1: to happen. Why can't there be an investigation of the 874 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,840 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election and the presentation of facts from it. 875 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,399 Speaker 1: Based on the people who are duly constituted in office 876 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: right now with those powers. Here is our president talking 877 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,960 Speaker 1: about this. Our country is looking into the corruption of 878 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,280 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen election. It was a corrupt election. Whether 879 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,320 Speaker 1: it's Coomy or McCabe or Struck or his lover Lisa 880 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 1: Page and two great lovers, there was a lot of corruption. 881 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it goes right up to President Obama. I happen 882 00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:13,720 Speaker 1: to think it does. What if that's true, By the way, 883 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,720 Speaker 1: I think it does too. I don't know. I always 884 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,320 Speaker 1: tell you what I know and don't know, but be 885 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 1: prepared for this possibility. We've been all along because of 886 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: what has been put out there, and obviously this is 887 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,320 Speaker 1: always you're always swimming upstream trying to get answers about 888 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 1: the absurd theory that was used to destroy careers and lives. 889 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,320 Speaker 1: And it's really just a rejection of the twenty sixteen 890 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: election results by crazy Democrats. But the theory that the 891 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,480 Speaker 1: president worked with the Russians left no trail, worked with 892 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 1: the Russians to defeat Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen. I mean, 893 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 1: that's the basis of all this, the Russia collusion conspiracy stuff. 894 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 1: You look at all this and we know that Struck 895 00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 1: and Page and McCabe, these very powerful figures within the 896 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,440 Speaker 1: government hated Trump and abuse their powers against And that's now, 897 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,799 Speaker 1: that's a matter of record, a matter of fact. What 898 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 1: we don't know and it will be very hard to 899 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,720 Speaker 1: find out, and they will start to claim executive privilege, 900 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,760 Speaker 1: and who knows how much other records already been destroyed. 901 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,879 Speaker 1: We don't know is when did Obama know that there 902 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 1: was an investigation of the Trump campaign? Who briefed President 903 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:32,680 Speaker 1: Obama on the efforts, let's say, to entrap Papadopolis or 904 00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:37,359 Speaker 1: to have Fiza on Carter page? Is it credible? Let's 905 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,440 Speaker 1: just start with things that whether it's credible or not credible. 906 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:44,799 Speaker 1: Is it believable that James Come at the FBI would 907 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:50,840 Speaker 1: not have briefed Obama on an ongoing surveillance of not 908 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:55,719 Speaker 1: one but two Trump campaign associates while there were also 909 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 1: concerns about Russian interference in the twenty upcoming twenty sixteen election. 910 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,640 Speaker 1: Is that plausa? And what if it then becomes clear 911 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 1: that Obama knew that this was going on, At what 912 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 1: point do we take the next step of was he 913 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,520 Speaker 1: encouraging it? Did you think that this is something that 914 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:19,319 Speaker 1: should have gotten even further resources and attention. And what 915 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,880 Speaker 1: would the media that now pretends to care so much 916 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,719 Speaker 1: about truth transparency in the American way, how will they 917 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 1: react if, in fact, we ever get to the point 918 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 1: that it's clear President Obama himself knew. I mean, remember 919 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,360 Speaker 1: all the unmasking requests. We've talked about the US persons 920 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:37,400 Speaker 1: getting unmasked by very senior Obama administration officials. There was 921 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,400 Speaker 1: all this stuff. We've never gotten answers about why were 922 00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,840 Speaker 1: they doing that? And you look back at the denials. 923 00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 1: Then we didn't know quite as much about Brennan and 924 00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,440 Speaker 1: Komi and Clapper. I mean, these guys are loons, self 925 00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:56,799 Speaker 1: obsessed loons who hate Trump, and we're willing to do 926 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:02,480 Speaker 1: very shady, abusive, unethical things. Wow, director of the CIA, 927 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:06,480 Speaker 1: while the director of the FBI, I mean, really scary stuff. 928 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:21,560 Speaker 1: He's holding the line for America buck sex in his back. 929 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 1: So I do think it is helpful to Democrats, in 930 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 1: terms of their electoral prospects, to as much as possible 931 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 1: focus on slogans about Trump being a traitor and being 932 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 1: crazy and on all these things, and avoid, for avoid 933 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,520 Speaker 1: discussion of their actual policy choices, because not only are 934 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 1: their policy choices bad, they can't even really explain them. 935 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,720 Speaker 1: They cannot answer very important, straightforward questions on the point 936 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,840 Speaker 1: about how crazy though they think Trump is. I mean, 937 00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:16,640 Speaker 1: this is just a great example of anonymous source out 938 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 1: there telling us, oh, my gosh, Trump is a madman. 939 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 1: We can't handle him. What are we gonna do? What 940 00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 1: are we gonna do? Play clip twenty three. My good man, 941 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:32,400 Speaker 1: We've spoken to a Republican source who is in the room, 942 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:37,560 Speaker 1: and I'm told that they were alarmed at his demeanor. 943 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:43,400 Speaker 1: Quote everyone left completely shaken, shell shocked. He is not 944 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:48,160 Speaker 1: in control of himself. It is all yelling and screaming. 945 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,720 Speaker 1: And I asked the source, you know who's been in 946 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 1: many meetings with them, has it changed? Is it worse? 947 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 1: Because every week we talk about is it getting worse? 948 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,760 Speaker 1: And the source said percent. I asked, are you worried 949 00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:07,760 Speaker 1: about his stability? And the source said yes. And the 950 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 1: source went on to talk to other senior Republicans who 951 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,440 Speaker 1: were in the meeting. They were also shaken up. One 952 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 1: used the word sickened. And also they got a sense 953 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 1: of the Pentagon the generals who were there, and they 954 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:27,880 Speaker 1: were very upset and the same thing that this, this 955 00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:33,280 Speaker 1: goes beyond, this is just enough enough enough, all right? 956 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 1: This is how many times do we go through this cycle? 957 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 1: This is its own new cycle. Trump is crazy. I 958 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,640 Speaker 1: think we didn't move on to the twenty fourth Amendment 959 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 1: because he's crazy. They did this before, the year ago, 960 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:50,000 Speaker 1: year before that. To this CNN reporter talking about her source, 961 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,120 Speaker 1: if I were in the room with the President of 962 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:59,320 Speaker 1: the United States, and I truly believed, beyond any reasonable 963 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,400 Speaker 1: doubt that the president was having the equivalent of a 964 01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 1: mental breakdown, the president had lost his mind and was 965 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 1: a danger. The things that they say are danger to 966 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 1: the republic. If you believe that and you do not 967 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:16,800 Speaker 1: have the courage and the basic patriotism to step forward, 968 01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:18,800 Speaker 1: I don't care what your job is, I don't care 969 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 1: what your role is in this White House or what 970 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:24,959 Speaker 1: elected official or whatever, and speak about that the American people, 971 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:30,120 Speaker 1: you're a coward. Wait, people who are putting on the 972 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,920 Speaker 1: uniform overseas getting shot at. We got people that have 973 01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 1: lost limbs fighting for this country. People have died for 974 01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 1: this country, stretching back for our entire history. You're in 975 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,320 Speaker 1: a position of authority, in power, you're going to tell 976 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 1: this reporter, Oh, I'm scared of the President's crazy. But 977 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:49,640 Speaker 1: you won't come forward and say why an anonymous source here, Oh, 978 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,840 Speaker 1: because it'd be so terrible for this person to speak that. 979 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,360 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? They get a book, They get 980 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:59,040 Speaker 1: a book deal and an MSNBC contributorship in like five minutes. Oh, 981 01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,120 Speaker 1: it's so scary to stand up in Trump. No, it's not. 982 01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:06,360 Speaker 1: In fact, the money, the fame, the people thinking you're amazing, 983 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,840 Speaker 1: that's all on the anti Trump side. You want to 984 01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 1: be you want to be somebody that's that's marked. Try 985 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,440 Speaker 1: to be a Trump supporter in public. Try to be 986 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,720 Speaker 1: in public life and say that I think that President 987 01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,280 Speaker 1: Trump is great. You know, there are a few places, 988 01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,480 Speaker 1: there are a few places in American society where you 989 01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:23,880 Speaker 1: can do it. You can do it, you know, as 990 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 1: a you can do it at Fox News, you can 991 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:27,920 Speaker 1: do it on talk radio. A few places where it's 992 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,800 Speaker 1: a safe space to say that you like President Trump. 993 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:37,479 Speaker 1: But in the broader American society, culture, academia, entertainment media. 994 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:39,920 Speaker 1: Go to any major city, walk around with a Maga 995 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:41,840 Speaker 1: hat on and see how much fun that is. Any 996 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 1: major city of the United States yeah, some people will 997 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,000 Speaker 1: be fine with it, but some people won't, and they'll 998 01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:50,280 Speaker 1: let you know. But why can't this person, why can't 999 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,600 Speaker 1: the expect expectation be that if there's really such a 1000 01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 1: need that the president of United States that is so 1001 01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:00,120 Speaker 1: scary and crazy that this person wouldn't come for and 1002 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:05,360 Speaker 1: say something. No, another anonymous report about how the president's crazy. 1003 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 1: If you think the president's crazy, you don't tell a 1004 01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:11,520 Speaker 1: CNN propagandist to go and tell the American people that 1005 01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 1: the president's crazy. You stand forward, you say it yourself, 1006 01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,960 Speaker 1: and if you don't, you're a coward. That's it. And 1007 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:18,560 Speaker 1: you do it while you're there, by the way, while 1008 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,120 Speaker 1: you're in office. You don't do it a year later 1009 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 1: when you're trying to You don't pull the mooch where 1010 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,680 Speaker 1: the mooch was. Anything Trump did was amazing until all 1011 01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,400 Speaker 1: of a sudden he's not in Trump's good graces, and 1012 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 1: now you know everything Trumps does is terrible and he's 1013 01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:34,240 Speaker 1: crazy and he's gross. No, no credibility whatsoever. You can't 1014 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,720 Speaker 1: do that. It's not allowed to anybody who's going to 1015 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,920 Speaker 1: be reasonable and rational. But so they want to talk 1016 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:43,720 Speaker 1: about how Trump is crazy. But then there's some other 1017 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 1: problems that they have because occasionally even left wing Democrats 1018 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 1: want to have some idea among different Democrat choices of 1019 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,080 Speaker 1: what they're signing on for. Right, and this Medicare for 1020 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:57,720 Speaker 1: all plan, which has been rightly pointed out by somebody 1021 01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:59,400 Speaker 1: on Team Buck yesterday who wrote in that it's not 1022 01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,280 Speaker 1: really Medicare for all. That's not the true description of 1023 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:04,960 Speaker 1: the program. It's single payer. Is really a much more 1024 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,600 Speaker 1: accurate description of what the Democrats want. The government pays 1025 01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 1: for all your healthcare. Problem with that is, as we've 1026 01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 1: been discussing, single payer is really expensive. Here is a 1027 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 1: fantastic montage Elizabeth Warren, who I think is now the 1028 01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:24,200 Speaker 1: standard bearer for single payer healthcare because look, Bernie's too 1029 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,960 Speaker 1: old and it's not going to happen for him this cycle. 1030 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:28,720 Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't think it's going to happen. 1031 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,320 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he'll win, who knows, But how 1032 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,919 Speaker 1: often am I really wrong? Elizabeth Warren is now picking 1033 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:40,360 Speaker 1: up steam as the as the progressive favorite. She's the 1034 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 1: more adept spokesperson for Medicare for all. Here is what 1035 01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:50,200 Speaker 1: happens when you ask her Will this is very straightforward. 1036 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,320 Speaker 1: Will taxes go up on the middle class in America 1037 01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:58,520 Speaker 1: if Medicare for All happens. Please play clip twenty two. 1038 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:02,640 Speaker 1: Will you raise taxes on the middle class for paper 1039 01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,240 Speaker 1: to pay for it? Yes or noes? Costs will go 1040 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,680 Speaker 1: up for the wealthy and for big corporations, and for 1041 01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 1: hard working middle class families, costs will go down. Hardworking 1042 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,520 Speaker 1: middle class families are going to see their costs go 1043 01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 1: down and bold their taxes go up. Well, but here's 1044 01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,960 Speaker 1: the thing. But here's the thing. I've listened to these 1045 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,000 Speaker 1: answers a few times before. Will middle class taxes go up? 1046 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 1: Will private insurance be eliminated? Look, what families have to 1047 01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 1: deal with is cost, total cost. That's what they have 1048 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,320 Speaker 1: to deal with it. How much are your costs going 1049 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,680 Speaker 1: to go? Different questions? How much will your tax it's 1050 01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,640 Speaker 1: how much are your costs different? How much? It's how 1051 01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,640 Speaker 1: much families end up an argument, but will you pay 1052 01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:48,280 Speaker 1: more in taxes? But why don't you want to answer 1053 01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:52,680 Speaker 1: that question? Because because it's a republican it's not a 1054 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,480 Speaker 1: republican talk because different question. It's a question about where 1055 01:04:56,520 --> 01:05:03,320 Speaker 1: people are going to come out economically. Looks question cross 1056 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:08,720 Speaker 1: will go down on the middle class, No low down. Hm. 1057 01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,200 Speaker 1: Notice how she's talking about costs. Interesting that she wants 1058 01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 1: to go there because she won't tell you what's true, 1059 01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:15,560 Speaker 1: which is that to even begin to pay for this, 1060 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,680 Speaker 1: which the what the Urban Institute says will cost and 1061 01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,480 Speaker 1: which is left wing, cost about thirty four trillion dollars 1062 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 1: in the next ten years. So you could spend almost 1063 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 1: every tax dollar currently taken by the federal government. We 1064 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 1: are pretty heavily taxed, Take every dollar, and you would 1065 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 1: basically spend it all on this program. Okay, so then 1066 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:41,720 Speaker 1: let's look at her. Her dodge here of the question, 1067 01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:44,160 Speaker 1: but she dodged over and over and over again. We 1068 01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:46,760 Speaker 1: will taxes go up? Yes, or answer me that. You 1069 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,520 Speaker 1: can tell us how it's going to be wonderful and 1070 01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, candy canes and unicorns and chocolate syrup rivers 1071 01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:54,600 Speaker 1: and whatever else you want to tell us. You can 1072 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,600 Speaker 1: do that, but first you have to tell us that 1073 01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,040 Speaker 1: the taxes are gonna go up in the middle class. 1074 01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:59,560 Speaker 1: We can make an informed decision. Oh you know who 1075 01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:01,640 Speaker 1: didn't let us make an informed decision about the last 1076 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:06,360 Speaker 1: healthcare overhaul, Barack Obama when he lied to the American 1077 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,360 Speaker 1: people by saying if you like your healthcare plan, you 1078 01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,640 Speaker 1: can keep it. Millions of people were knocked off their plans. 1079 01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,120 Speaker 1: Most of them were then transferred onto Obamacare plans that 1080 01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:18,880 Speaker 1: were far inferior to what they were getting before. Then 1081 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,440 Speaker 1: some people got on Obamacare plans that were subsidized, and 1082 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:23,680 Speaker 1: they're a little bit better off. But a lot of 1083 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,040 Speaker 1: people lost their plan, lost their doctor. And as I 1084 01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:28,440 Speaker 1: find more and more as I get old, of the 1085 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:34,200 Speaker 1: practitioner matters. Just getting to od doctor is not good 1086 01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 1: enough unless you just have a ear infection or something. 1087 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 1: I mean, if you have any kind of problem that 1088 01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:45,120 Speaker 1: requires real ongoing care, a difficult diagnosis, and any number 1089 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,120 Speaker 1: of issues that we all deal with in the healthcare system. 1090 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:52,080 Speaker 1: The doctor matters. You know, they like this one size 1091 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,120 Speaker 1: fits all. Oh, but you know it's gonna be Medicare 1092 01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,000 Speaker 1: for all, but it's gonna be government paying for it. 1093 01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:57,720 Speaker 1: The governments can tell you who you can see and 1094 01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:02,080 Speaker 1: what they're allowed to charge. And central planning. This is 1095 01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:06,120 Speaker 1: all central planning. It always fails. It does not work. 1096 01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:10,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't work the way they say, well, yeah, sure, 1097 01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,960 Speaker 1: they'll be uulously some doctors. And you look at foreign 1098 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:16,160 Speaker 1: countries that have a single payer system, there's some healthcare there, 1099 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,640 Speaker 1: But go speak to British people about how much how 1100 01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 1: many wealthy Brits for heart surgery go to Thailand. Now, 1101 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,720 Speaker 1: medical tourism from these European states that have free healthcare, 1102 01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:29,040 Speaker 1: Why is medical tourism such a big thing booming industry 1103 01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:33,760 Speaker 1: in India and Thailand? Seems kind of strange, doesn't it? 1104 01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:38,000 Speaker 1: Because those countries have these burgeoning medical systems where people 1105 01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,560 Speaker 1: pay cash and people pay for the services, knowing that 1106 01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,560 Speaker 1: it's very expensive here in America to have any of 1107 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,360 Speaker 1: those procedures done because of the system we have in 1108 01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:51,439 Speaker 1: the way that health insurance companies allocate capital. But back 1109 01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:54,280 Speaker 1: to the issue of costs. Costs is also a very 1110 01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 1: broad term for her to tell you what you're caught, 1111 01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 1: what a cost would be for middle class family, she 1112 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 1: would have to know what your expenses would be, what 1113 01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,040 Speaker 1: your healthcare expenses would be. And the end she has 1114 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,920 Speaker 1: no idea, she has no idea what the expenses will 1115 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,920 Speaker 1: be from this press, absolutely know whatsoever. But the promise 1116 01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,960 Speaker 1: is that, well, you spend this amount on healthcare right now, 1117 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,880 Speaker 1: you're going to spend less because we're going to siphon 1118 01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,040 Speaker 1: money from the wealthy and from corporations into your healthcare plan. 1119 01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:22,280 Speaker 1: We're going to do it so efficiently. We're going to 1120 01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:26,240 Speaker 1: allocate this capital so intelligently that you know you're going 1121 01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:27,800 Speaker 1: to have more money in your bank account at the 1122 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,200 Speaker 1: end of the year as a middle class family under 1123 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:35,440 Speaker 1: an Elizabeth Warren plan, that's just not going to happen, folks, 1124 01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,080 Speaker 1: just not going to happen. You're going to have to 1125 01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,360 Speaker 1: have taxes raised. And even with taxes raised, you're going 1126 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:45,839 Speaker 1: to have tremendous structural, deep structural inefficiencies in the system, 1127 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:51,160 Speaker 1: rationing long wait times. This is your healthcare future if 1128 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,000 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren gets her way. We need to understand that. 1129 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,760 Speaker 1: We need to be clear about that. She's not even 1130 01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 1: clear about it, though, because she can't answer the basic 1131 01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 1: question of how are you how are you going to 1132 01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:06,960 Speaker 1: pay for this? Wow tax it's costs to go down. 1133 01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:11,120 Speaker 1: For the middle class, they'll go down. But for the 1134 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:16,560 Speaker 1: wealthy and for corporations, No, it's not just gonna be 1135 01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 1: the It's never just the wealthy. There's not enough money. 1136 01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,240 Speaker 1: There's not enough money from the wealthy and the corporations 1137 01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:24,320 Speaker 1: to pay for this. They couldn't do it. And then 1138 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,599 Speaker 1: think about what that would also do to the broader economy. 1139 01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:30,320 Speaker 1: Who invests, who starts new companies, who creates jobs for 1140 01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 1: other people, People with capital concentrations of it, and they 1141 01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,439 Speaker 1: are more efficient with it in the government will ever 1142 01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,719 Speaker 1: be We already know this, But this is the dream. 1143 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,519 Speaker 1: This has been the dream of progressives and socialists, that's right, 1144 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,880 Speaker 1: socialists in America for over one hundred years. That's how 1145 01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,519 Speaker 1: close we should probably remind ourselves of this. That's how 1146 01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:50,639 Speaker 1: close they are at this point when they say, oh, 1147 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,760 Speaker 1: it's not socialism, Well, this is what the socialists have 1148 01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:56,440 Speaker 1: wanted since the beginning of the twentieth century in America. 1149 01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,480 Speaker 1: This is what the socialists have wanted since the progressives 1150 01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,439 Speaker 1: of whist Nson. We're first trying to take ideas from 1151 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:07,280 Speaker 1: the European continent and apply them here status authoritarian ideas 1152 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,400 Speaker 1: at that of redistribution, of class warfare, of Marxism. But 1153 01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:13,640 Speaker 1: we're just I hope we don't have to learn the 1154 01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,600 Speaker 1: hard way, because Democrats will want us to learn the 1155 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:17,439 Speaker 1: hard way, and they still they won't even learn the 1156 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 1: lesson when it is hard. Every single Democrat candidate for 1157 01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:44,920 Speaker 1: president raise their hand in favor of giving free healthcare 1158 01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,760 Speaker 1: to all illegal aliots. They want to give more to 1159 01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:53,040 Speaker 1: illegal aliens than they give to American citizens. You see that. 1160 01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:57,080 Speaker 1: As president, I will never allow the Democrats to take 1161 01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:01,040 Speaker 1: away your healthcare dollars and give them to people that 1162 01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:06,519 Speaker 1: are in our country illegally. I think that that's going 1163 01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:08,679 Speaker 1: to come back to haunt the Democrats. I thought it along. 1164 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,400 Speaker 1: I said it on the Bill Marshaw back in August, 1165 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,360 Speaker 1: that every Democrat. It was a two night debate, so 1166 01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,519 Speaker 1: technically there were some Democrats who weren't on the stage, 1167 01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,040 Speaker 1: who were still in the race, but one night, every 1168 01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:24,880 Speaker 1: Democrat at the debate said they all raised their hands, 1169 01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:27,599 Speaker 1: they all made it clear that they wanted to give 1170 01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:32,479 Speaker 1: healthcare to illegal aliens. I just want to think about 1171 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,080 Speaker 1: this for beyond the fact that that's absurd, it's insane, 1172 01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:40,240 Speaker 1: and that any Democrat would ever think that that was feasible, 1173 01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:44,880 Speaker 1: it's just because how would you implement this. Does that 1174 01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:46,760 Speaker 1: mean that if somebody shows up in this country, someone 1175 01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,840 Speaker 1: crosses the border and says, hey, I need open heart surgery. 1176 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,080 Speaker 1: I know I just ran across the border, but I 1177 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:55,720 Speaker 1: need open heart surgery. We just say, okay, we're going 1178 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 1: to keep you in the country. We're not. We can't 1179 01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:00,040 Speaker 1: kick you out, because, of course, illegal aliens are the 1180 01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,120 Speaker 1: they are the foundation upon which this country is built, 1181 01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:05,360 Speaker 1: the Democrats believe. So you get to stay, and then 1182 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,719 Speaker 1: you're going to have a procedure that will cost taxpayers 1183 01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 1: about a million dollars. Why would anybody in the third world, 1184 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,559 Speaker 1: why would anybody in developing countries not just come to 1185 01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:19,559 Speaker 1: America and demand world class medical treatment. It's worth it, 1186 01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:23,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it might be something that changes or saves 1187 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,720 Speaker 1: your life. Right, So where do you do? You have 1188 01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:28,559 Speaker 1: to be an illegal that's here for a certain amount 1189 01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,519 Speaker 1: of time for this to to qualify for this, you 1190 01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,840 Speaker 1: have to be an a legal alien who falls into 1191 01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:38,320 Speaker 1: a specific category of certain nations for you to get 1192 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:42,080 Speaker 1: these healthcare benefits that they've promised you. I have to say, 1193 01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:46,480 Speaker 1: it is just it is remarkable to me how extreme 1194 01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:49,519 Speaker 1: and unworkable many of these Democrat ideas and proposals are. 1195 01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:53,240 Speaker 1: And that may be why may Or Pete for example, 1196 01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:57,400 Speaker 1: recognizes that as much as all these polls and all 1197 01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,799 Speaker 1: these people in the media are telling you that anybody 1198 01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,320 Speaker 1: can beat Trump, and Trump's a paper tiger and Trump 1199 01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:05,439 Speaker 1: King and all this stuff, he was a little more 1200 01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:08,920 Speaker 1: Circumspect when he was asked about whether every single Democrat 1201 01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:11,280 Speaker 1: in the field right now would be able to beat 1202 01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:15,040 Speaker 1: for President Trump. Do you really believe that everybody on 1203 01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:17,800 Speaker 1: that stage can beat President Trump. I'm not so sure, 1204 01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:20,360 Speaker 1: and I think that in order to win, and in 1205 01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:23,519 Speaker 1: order to deserve to win, we've got to answer the 1206 01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 1: fundamental problems that Donald Trump took advantage of to take 1207 01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:29,040 Speaker 1: over the Republican Party and get elected. And we got 1208 01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:30,200 Speaker 1: to find a way to do it that people can 1209 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,240 Speaker 1: see where they fit and that unites the country. Look, 1210 01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:34,559 Speaker 1: we're never going to win everybody over, but I think 1211 01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:38,360 Speaker 1: it means a lot that with incredibly progressive proposals, I'm 1212 01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,040 Speaker 1: also getting Republicans saying that they would support me because 1213 01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,960 Speaker 1: they're so disgusted with what's happening in the Trump Way. 1214 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,160 Speaker 1: I don't need a Republican I know a lot of Republicans. 1215 01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,080 Speaker 1: I don't know any Republicans who are jumping on the 1216 01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:50,800 Speaker 1: Mayor Pete vandwagon. I don't know any of I don't 1217 01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,200 Speaker 1: know any of those. I do know some that like Tulsey, 1218 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,679 Speaker 1: not the only one. I'm just putting that out there, 1219 01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,680 Speaker 1: but he understands Mayor Pete understands that some of these 1220 01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:02,479 Speaker 1: are a disaster for the Termocratic party, and really the 1221 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:06,839 Speaker 1: disastrous one the most disasters would be Bernie Sanders because 1222 01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:08,240 Speaker 1: the stuff that he would want to do, it's never 1223 01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,240 Speaker 1: going to happen. It can't get done. He can't defend that. 1224 01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. But it sounds good to people 1225 01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 1: who will believe in fairy tales. What Bernie tells them 1226 01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:20,439 Speaker 1: sounds good that they believe in the magic of the 1227 01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:24,200 Speaker 1: federal government that can provide better healthcare, more healthcare, more 1228 01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:26,600 Speaker 1: cheaply to people, as if the government is in the 1229 01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:31,200 Speaker 1: in the business of business and is a creative force 1230 01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,920 Speaker 1: and not generally a restrictive and destructive force. This is 1231 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,600 Speaker 1: where you have the baseline philosophical differences between or a 1232 01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: right and left. Showing them seats Bernie Sanders, though, just 1233 01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:42,880 Speaker 1: highlights it in a way that even Democrats, I think 1234 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:46,800 Speaker 1: are starting to figure out. Oh that guy's crazy. Buck 1235 01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:52,600 Speaker 1: Sexton remission, decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence, 1236 01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:59,120 Speaker 1: Make no mistake, you're a great American again. This is 1237 01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:03,120 Speaker 1: the buck st didn't show formless CIA analysts remember at 1238 01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:05,600 Speaker 1: the ANIMI v. D. Bock Sexton it didn't, Buck Sexton. No, 1239 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,559 Speaker 1: Paul Ryan would never issue a subpoena. I don't say 1240 01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:19,760 Speaker 1: right or wrong. He wouldn't do it. He had too 1241 01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:23,200 Speaker 1: much respect for our country. Nancy Pelosi hands him out 1242 01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:26,600 Speaker 1: like cookies. Everybody. I don't even know these people for 1243 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:28,599 Speaker 1: the most part, people like that at destim I don't 1244 01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:30,599 Speaker 1: even know who they are. I've never even heard of 1245 01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:35,799 Speaker 1: some of them, most of them weaponizing the process against 1246 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,559 Speaker 1: President Trump, against this White House? Is that really what 1247 01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is doing? And what can Trump you to 1248 01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:44,519 Speaker 1: fight back? Our friend Annie McCartney is back in the house. 1249 01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:49,040 Speaker 1: He is Fox Is contributor, author, also senior editor National Review. 1250 01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:52,439 Speaker 1: Any great to have you back, sir, fuck always great? 1251 01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:57,480 Speaker 1: All right, So, so how is this impeachment inquiry proceeding 1252 01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:01,600 Speaker 1: thus far? I mean, from the procedurals standpoint, what is 1253 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,560 Speaker 1: kind of okay? What's dirty? And what are the Democrats 1254 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:09,519 Speaker 1: really doing? Well? The Democrats from the beginning, Buck, have 1255 01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:13,840 Speaker 1: decided that the president's not fit for office. So they've 1256 01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:17,799 Speaker 1: already kind of made their decision, and they've been looking 1257 01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 1: for a hook that they could hang it on in 1258 01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 1: the way of impeachable offenses. But you know, the Muller 1259 01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:28,559 Speaker 1: investigation came up dry. So now they're onto the Ukraine thing. 1260 01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:32,920 Speaker 1: And you know, this is unusual and irregular in the 1261 01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:36,760 Speaker 1: sense that what generally happens, not that we have that 1262 01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:41,440 Speaker 1: much experience with impeachment, is that the president commits misconduct 1263 01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:45,439 Speaker 1: and we deduce from the misconduct whether it's so serious 1264 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:49,919 Speaker 1: that impeachment is warranted. Here, instead, we have a situation 1265 01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:53,280 Speaker 1: where the Democrats decided ahead of time, before he ever 1266 01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,280 Speaker 1: stepped into the oval office, that Trump was unfit and 1267 01:17:56,320 --> 01:18:00,160 Speaker 1: they've been looking for something to sort of hang that 1268 01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,720 Speaker 1: conclusion on from the beginning. So this is what we like. 1269 01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:09,679 Speaker 1: What we now have is the Ukrainian episode in this effort. Now, Andy, 1270 01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:13,759 Speaker 1: what about the claims that the White House is making 1271 01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:17,960 Speaker 1: that they're not going to comply. How does that duel 1272 01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:23,120 Speaker 1: between the executive branch and the Democrat controlled House pushing 1273 01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:26,960 Speaker 1: forward on this impeachment inquiry? You know, where does that go? 1274 01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:29,600 Speaker 1: And what's the White House arguing about who does or 1275 01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,559 Speaker 1: doesn't have to testify? And what is the Democrat House 1276 01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:35,240 Speaker 1: majority going to say or Democrat led by Nancy Pelosi 1277 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:38,639 Speaker 1: going to say? Yeah? But the important thing to remember 1278 01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,960 Speaker 1: what these kind of contests between the executive and the 1279 01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:46,520 Speaker 1: legislative branches is that they are political in nature. Impeachment 1280 01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:50,479 Speaker 1: is political in nature. It's not a legal process for 1281 01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:55,440 Speaker 1: assessing guilt. It's a political process for stripping political authority. 1282 01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:00,800 Speaker 1: So what the President is trying to do is demonstrate 1283 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:05,160 Speaker 1: that the or demonstrate to the public, which is the 1284 01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:09,760 Speaker 1: court that matters here, that the impeachment inquiry is illegitimate 1285 01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:14,679 Speaker 1: because the House the Constitution commits the authority to impeach 1286 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,479 Speaker 1: the whole of it to the House of Representatives, not 1287 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:22,040 Speaker 1: to the Speaker, and not to a cabal of partisan 1288 01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:27,360 Speaker 1: committee chairman. And because the House acts as an institution 1289 01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:30,960 Speaker 1: only when it votes, and the House has never voted 1290 01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:34,360 Speaker 1: to have an impeachment inquiry. The President is arguing that 1291 01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,600 Speaker 1: the impeachment inquiry is illegitimate and he doesn't need to 1292 01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:41,000 Speaker 1: cooperate with it. Plus, he has a lot of privileges 1293 01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:46,719 Speaker 1: against cooperation, like executive privilege, most prominently, which is only 1294 01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:50,920 Speaker 1: going to be pierced by something that's in the nature 1295 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:54,559 Speaker 1: of serious misconduct, and which he shouldn't be asked to 1296 01:19:55,880 --> 01:20:00,120 Speaker 1: give up unless the House, as an institution, votes to 1297 01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 1: have an impeachment inquiry. So that's their position. The Houses 1298 01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:08,160 Speaker 1: position is that there's nothing in the Constitution that requires 1299 01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,040 Speaker 1: it to have a vote in order to inquire, that 1300 01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:14,559 Speaker 1: it has the standing committees that have authority, so they 1301 01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:18,120 Speaker 1: can conduct an impeachment inquiry through the offices of those 1302 01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:21,479 Speaker 1: committees without having to have a vote, and that their 1303 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:26,400 Speaker 1: subpoenas are perfectly legitimate and the administration should honor them 1304 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:30,280 Speaker 1: because Congress has oversight power whether it's conducting an impeachment 1305 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:35,639 Speaker 1: inquiry or not. And the political hammer that they hold 1306 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:40,080 Speaker 1: in the equation is that if the president doesn't cooperate, 1307 01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:45,040 Speaker 1: they can always add an article of impeachment about failing 1308 01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:49,680 Speaker 1: to cooperate with legitimate demands for information by Congress. So 1309 01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:53,120 Speaker 1: this is the political battle that takes place, and it 1310 01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:56,559 Speaker 1: really depends on what the public thinks of all this. 1311 01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,720 Speaker 1: My own view of it, for what it's worth, is 1312 01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:05,639 Speaker 1: that the underlying conduct here related to Ukraine. I think 1313 01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things to criticize the president about 1314 01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:11,439 Speaker 1: in it, but I don't think any of it rises 1315 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,880 Speaker 1: to the level of impeachable offenses. Do you well, I mean, 1316 01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,719 Speaker 1: would you describe it as as ugly politics by the president? 1317 01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you how do you gauge, how 1318 01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:23,560 Speaker 1: do you assess the whole Ukraine situation? Where where is 1319 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 1: the president vulnerable? And what's a fair way of framing it. 1320 01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:32,280 Speaker 1: I think it's it's unsavory conduct in the sense that 1321 01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:39,679 Speaker 1: the Congress voted for aid for Ukraine, the President signed 1322 01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:43,800 Speaker 1: off on the legislation. He should have just given the 1323 01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:48,960 Speaker 1: aid to Ukraine. There's nothing wrong in principle with a 1324 01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:55,440 Speaker 1: president asking a foreign government for help in an American 1325 01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,840 Speaker 1: Justice Department investigation. But the Justice Department didn't ask the 1326 01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:02,240 Speaker 1: President to lean on Ukraine for help. So the fact 1327 01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:04,519 Speaker 1: that he did it without you know, usually when these 1328 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,640 Speaker 1: things happened buck in the Justice Department, it's because the 1329 01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:10,720 Speaker 1: Justice Department is doing an investigation, it realizes it needs 1330 01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:13,760 Speaker 1: assistant from assistance from a foreign government, and if the 1331 01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,960 Speaker 1: foreign government doesn't cooperate, like for example, the Saudis didn't 1332 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:20,879 Speaker 1: cooperate with us in connection with the Kobar Towers bombing 1333 01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,920 Speaker 1: in the mid nineties, you asked the president to lean 1334 01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:28,000 Speaker 1: on the other government to help you here. There was 1335 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:31,839 Speaker 1: no discussion apparently between Attorney General Barr and the president, 1336 01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:36,080 Speaker 1: and the president kind of unsolicited not only asked his 1337 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:41,240 Speaker 1: Ukrainian counterpart to help Bar. He simultaneously asked him to 1338 01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:45,679 Speaker 1: help Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani, who was the President's private lawyer 1339 01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:50,759 Speaker 1: and is conducting research in Ukraine that might be helpful 1340 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:54,160 Speaker 1: to Trump's twenty twenty campaign to the extent it's damaging 1341 01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:59,639 Speaker 1: to Biden. So what what Trump risked doing is exactly 1342 01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:03,439 Speaker 1: what Justice Department doesn't want done, which is the sense 1343 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:07,479 Speaker 1: that it's investigation of the twenty sixteen, you know, the 1344 01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:11,000 Speaker 1: abuses of power in connection with twenty sixteen, that that 1345 01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:14,759 Speaker 1: is political, rather than what the Attorney General has stressed 1346 01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,000 Speaker 1: up until now, which is that it's the Justice Department's 1347 01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:20,760 Speaker 1: obligation to look back at this kind of misbehavior and 1348 01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:23,520 Speaker 1: see if any crimes were committed and if any procedures 1349 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,840 Speaker 1: have to be changed. So I think, you know, the 1350 01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:31,080 Speaker 1: way the President handled this, he potentially brings discredit and 1351 01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:36,080 Speaker 1: delegitimizes the Justice Department's investigation and bounds it up with 1352 01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:39,720 Speaker 1: his own twenty twenty reelection effort, which is exactly the 1353 01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,560 Speaker 1: way the Democrats have tried to portray the bar investigation 1354 01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:46,080 Speaker 1: from the beginning. So I think those things are all 1355 01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:50,080 Speaker 1: ways that I think you can legitimately say the President 1356 01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,920 Speaker 1: did not This was not perfect as the President as 1357 01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:57,200 Speaker 1: likes to say. On the other hand, buck, we have 1358 01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:00,880 Speaker 1: to like take a step back and realized Ukraine did 1359 01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 1: get the aid, it never really did get hold held 1360 01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:09,240 Speaker 1: up in any way that was meaningful or harmful, And 1361 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:13,559 Speaker 1: the Justice Department was never in communication with the White 1362 01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:16,639 Speaker 1: House or with the Ukrainian authority, so it didn't really 1363 01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:20,719 Speaker 1: affect the Justice Department's investigation. So the atmospherics are bad. 1364 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:22,400 Speaker 1: But when you look at this and say, well, what 1365 01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:27,240 Speaker 1: harm actually happened doesn't appear to be any So to 1366 01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:29,799 Speaker 1: talk about it in the sense of an impeachable offense, 1367 01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:33,840 Speaker 1: which is supposed to be reserved for really egregious misconduct 1368 01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:39,000 Speaker 1: that does real harm, is really I think overwrought. What 1369 01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:41,040 Speaker 1: is the argument that you know, I keep hearing from 1370 01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:43,840 Speaker 1: Pelosi and others he violated his oath of office to 1371 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,679 Speaker 1: the Constitution. Do they just is that just a general 1372 01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:49,600 Speaker 1: thing to say or is there some specific way they 1373 01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:51,760 Speaker 1: try to tie they said, I keep wondering what is 1374 01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:55,400 Speaker 1: the what is the alleged if not even crime, the 1375 01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:58,400 Speaker 1: alleged political crime that they think comes up in Ukraine, 1376 01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:00,599 Speaker 1: Because I mean when you're pointing out, Yeah, there's some 1377 01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:04,640 Speaker 1: procedural uh, you know, some procedural missteps. It looks it 1378 01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:07,120 Speaker 1: looks a little sloppy the way the president did it. Sure, 1379 01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:09,760 Speaker 1: but what is the real I mean, because initially Andy, 1380 01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:13,719 Speaker 1: they were saying there's a possible campaign finance criminal violation, 1381 01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:15,519 Speaker 1: and that just that just faded away because that was 1382 01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:17,559 Speaker 1: too absurd to even hang their hats on. So what 1383 01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:21,080 Speaker 1: is it now? Yeah, So I think there's two things, buck, 1384 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:25,360 Speaker 1: and both of them are pretty weak. One is that 1385 01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,240 Speaker 1: the president is supposed to take care that the laws 1386 01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:35,759 Speaker 1: be faithfully executed, and the Congress voted aid for Ukraine, 1387 01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,600 Speaker 1: which the President slow walk rather than delivering it to 1388 01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:44,680 Speaker 1: Ukraine on schedule. So that's outside the statute as the 1389 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,519 Speaker 1: Congress enacted it and that the President signed off on. 1390 01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:52,120 Speaker 1: But on the other hand, the president has almost cleanary 1391 01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:56,439 Speaker 1: authority under the Constitution to conduct foreign relations, and while 1392 01:25:56,479 --> 01:26:01,160 Speaker 1: he shouldn't delay aid for any but very good reasons, 1393 01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:02,960 Speaker 1: he's got the authority to do that. So I think 1394 01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:06,080 Speaker 1: it's a pretty weak argument. The other one that's even weaker, 1395 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,280 Speaker 1: I think, is this new thing they're floating, which is 1396 01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:13,640 Speaker 1: about extortion and the idea that the president pressured the 1397 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:17,840 Speaker 1: Ukrainians in order to get accommodations from them, including some 1398 01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:21,679 Speaker 1: that might have helped him politically. The problem with that 1399 01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:27,760 Speaker 1: book is that extortion is a domestic crime. It is 1400 01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:32,640 Speaker 1: not applicable to foreign relations, where we actually want the 1401 01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:36,439 Speaker 1: president to be able to squeeze foreign governments and put 1402 01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on them in the service. This 1403 01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,479 Speaker 1: is what mulvanny was basically trying to say, perhaps in ourfully, 1404 01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:44,679 Speaker 1: He's like, we do quid pro quos the foreign governments 1405 01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:48,439 Speaker 1: all the time. That's very true, exactly right. So you know, 1406 01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:52,240 Speaker 1: what you're doing is apples, or what they're doing is 1407 01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:56,599 Speaker 1: apples and oranges. You know, Yes, there are situations where 1408 01:26:57,120 --> 01:27:01,840 Speaker 1: when somebody pressures another person, you know, threatening them with 1409 01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:04,519 Speaker 1: economic harm or other kinds of harm in order to 1410 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:06,680 Speaker 1: get them to do something, that's extortion. And then so 1411 01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 1: it's a federal crime, and it's a crime in most states. 1412 01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,920 Speaker 1: In foreign relations where we're not under the rule of 1413 01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:16,519 Speaker 1: law and we're not all dealing, you know, we're not 1414 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:21,639 Speaker 1: all just like citizens under the same sovereign countries pressure 1415 01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:24,040 Speaker 1: or other countries in order to get them to do things. 1416 01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:27,320 Speaker 1: And sometimes that pressure gets to the point of war, 1417 01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:32,280 Speaker 1: so you know, it's it's not domestic law enforcement. And again, 1418 01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,000 Speaker 1: can you imagine what would be the point of having 1419 01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:39,679 Speaker 1: a president of the United States if the president could 1420 01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 1: not use whatever was available to him to pressure governments, 1421 01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:49,080 Speaker 1: which are often rogue governments that are anti American, to 1422 01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:51,040 Speaker 1: do things that we want them to do in the 1423 01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:54,840 Speaker 1: interest of American security and global stability. Yeah. I'm pretty 1424 01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:57,840 Speaker 1: sure that George W. Bush said, you know, handover bin 1425 01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,360 Speaker 1: lad in Taliban or else, We're coming for you with 1426 01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:04,040 Speaker 1: everything we got. So and they were technically the government 1427 01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:06,280 Speaker 1: to Aphanison at the time, folks, So there was that. Yeah. 1428 01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:10,760 Speaker 1: And I don't think the Justice Department investigated Bush for extortion. Yeah, 1429 01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:13,439 Speaker 1: I would certainly hope not any McCarthy everybody the one 1430 01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:15,760 Speaker 1: and only. Check out his latest on nash review dot com. 1431 01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:19,839 Speaker 1: Also great editorialist week in The New York Post on impeachment. Annie, 1432 01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:22,160 Speaker 1: thank you for joining us or we'll talk to you soon. Thanks, 1433 01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:47,080 Speaker 1: but welcome back team. A massive gun battle in Kulia Khan, 1434 01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:51,000 Speaker 1: northwest of Mexico City, down in Mexico, involving one of 1435 01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:55,040 Speaker 1: the well the son of the most notorious cartel leader 1436 01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:58,160 Speaker 1: perhaps of all time, maybe only second to Pablo Escobar 1437 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:04,600 Speaker 1: El Chapooman. His son was captured in Kuliya Khan. His 1438 01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:09,800 Speaker 1: son's name is Video Guzman Lopez. So he's a son 1439 01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:13,800 Speaker 1: of Joaquin Guzman Loeiro, who is known as El Chapo, 1440 01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:18,759 Speaker 1: the Sinaloa cartel leaders currently serving a life sentence plus 1441 01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:27,240 Speaker 1: thirty years. The Mexican police managed to find this son 1442 01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,479 Speaker 1: of El Chappo, and you would think that this would 1443 01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:35,520 Speaker 1: be a cause for celebration, but then the entire city erupted, 1444 01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:41,400 Speaker 1: erupted in chaos, gun battles. There were cartel sicarios, their 1445 01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:46,439 Speaker 1: assassins deployed in the streets with fifty caliber rifles. There 1446 01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:51,479 Speaker 1: were cartel members who had mounted machine guns. There's video 1447 01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:54,840 Speaker 1: all over the internet now social media of just gun 1448 01:29:54,840 --> 01:30:00,200 Speaker 1: battles raging. It sounds like Fulujah circa two thousand and five, 1449 01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 1: just machine gun fire all over the place, smoke billowing 1450 01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:08,920 Speaker 1: into the air. And what was truly stunning is the 1451 01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:15,880 Speaker 1: Mexican authorities released, oh, Video Guzman Lopez released El Chapo's 1452 01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:20,960 Speaker 1: son because they were afraid of further bloodshed. That's right, 1453 01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:25,919 Speaker 1: my friends, a notorious cartel boss is captured and then 1454 01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,880 Speaker 1: released because the cartels can put so much firepower on 1455 01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:34,200 Speaker 1: the streets they can effectively take an entire city in 1456 01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:42,240 Speaker 1: Mexico hostage. They outgunned Mexican police and federal police units 1457 01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:46,360 Speaker 1: outgunned them. They were calling in for reinforcements, and the cartel, 1458 01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:50,120 Speaker 1: the cartel hitmen were able to just bring too much 1459 01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:54,400 Speaker 1: fire under their locations. They had to withdraw, stunning. We 1460 01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:56,320 Speaker 1: were gonna have my friend yone Grillo join us, Deady 1461 01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:59,280 Speaker 1: from Mexico City, but actually having trouble getting thrown the 1462 01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,240 Speaker 1: phone lines there. Will have to have you own back 1463 01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:05,280 Speaker 1: next week to tell us what's going on. So sorry 1464 01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:08,360 Speaker 1: about the the guest lineup changeup, but we'll have you 1465 01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:11,639 Speaker 1: own joining us when we can. And I just would 1466 01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:17,040 Speaker 1: note that Mexico had last year one I can't remember 1467 01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:19,120 Speaker 1: if twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen. It was one of 1468 01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:22,280 Speaker 1: those years, the worst year in the history of that 1469 01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:27,559 Speaker 1: country for murders. We have an opioid epidemic. Yes, I know, 1470 01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:29,320 Speaker 1: there's billions and billions of dollars that are going to 1471 01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:32,680 Speaker 1: be paid out now by drug companies that did have 1472 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:38,600 Speaker 1: a very egregious hand in the opioid epidemic. But you know, 1473 01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:39,960 Speaker 1: what else has a big has a big part of 1474 01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:42,439 Speaker 1: the opiated epidemic. The car tells that are flooding this 1475 01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:46,400 Speaker 1: country with it, and the Mexican government while we think 1476 01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:49,040 Speaker 1: of it as somewhat in control of the situation, or 1477 01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:51,680 Speaker 1: I should say, we don't hear much about it, so 1478 01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:54,360 Speaker 1: people assume it can't be that bad. It's really bad. 1479 01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:57,599 Speaker 1: I mean, what does it mean. Imagine for a moment 1480 01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:00,519 Speaker 1: that there was a gang member in the United States 1481 01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:04,400 Speaker 1: who was seized in let's say Boston, you know, a 1482 01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:09,000 Speaker 1: good sized American city, and that gang member was able 1483 01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:12,200 Speaker 1: to put out the call that all of his hitmen 1484 01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:15,799 Speaker 1: needed to start attacking police units all across the city. 1485 01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:18,880 Speaker 1: And then the authorities in Boston were like, well, we 1486 01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:22,000 Speaker 1: can't handle all this heat, so we're just gonna let 1487 01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:27,160 Speaker 1: this guy go. What a sad day for the country 1488 01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:31,920 Speaker 1: of Mexico. That's the that's the response. You allow a 1489 01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:35,560 Speaker 1: cartel member to take a city hostage, you release him. 1490 01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:39,559 Speaker 1: What message does that send going forward? Anytime any member 1491 01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:41,800 Speaker 1: of the cartel who's senior enough gets picked up by 1492 01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:46,519 Speaker 1: Mexican marines and the federales or whomever, they're just gonna say, Okay, 1493 01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:50,280 Speaker 1: well now we're gonna we're gonna wire up a school 1494 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:54,200 Speaker 1: with C four unless you let me free. You know, 1495 01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:56,960 Speaker 1: this is negotiating with terrorists in the worst possible way, 1496 01:32:57,040 --> 01:33:00,680 Speaker 1: with Narco terrorists. And it's just a big indicator of 1497 01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:06,680 Speaker 1: how deeply not just corrupt, but really unstable Mexico is. 1498 01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:09,040 Speaker 1: It's stable in so far as the cartels are able 1499 01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:12,360 Speaker 1: to keep poisoning American cities and killing tens of thousands 1500 01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:16,120 Speaker 1: of our American of our fellow Americans, making billions and 1501 01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,559 Speaker 1: billions of dollars in the process, also making hundreds of 1502 01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:21,120 Speaker 1: millions off of human smuggling at our southern border. You know, 1503 01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:24,360 Speaker 1: kids in cages, they yelled, Yeah, but the cartels are 1504 01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:26,240 Speaker 1: making a lot of money in that whole process. By 1505 01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:39,960 Speaker 1: the way, he's back with you now, because when it 1506 01:33:40,000 --> 01:34:00,800 Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Now, team, 1507 01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:04,080 Speaker 1: I promise we're not going to do a daily Tulsie 1508 01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:07,559 Speaker 1: Gabbert defense here. Okay, We're not going to just have 1509 01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:09,600 Speaker 1: bucks it here every day and say that Tulsie. And 1510 01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:12,960 Speaker 1: when you wrote in that Tulsie's married, I know she's married. Okay, 1511 01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm not this show. This show is not some audio 1512 01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,920 Speaker 1: bouquet of flowers sent to Tulsie Gabbert on a regular 1513 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:20,920 Speaker 1: basis in the hopes that she'll notice and perhaps come 1514 01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:23,920 Speaker 1: in for a lengthy interview that would clearly go viral 1515 01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:28,040 Speaker 1: and be fantastic. But I'm just I try to find 1516 01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:30,479 Speaker 1: the good in the Democrats that I can where I can, 1517 01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:33,280 Speaker 1: and that's why I also like to point out the 1518 01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:37,479 Speaker 1: really really bad Democrats, which reminds me of Hillary Clinton. Hello, 1519 01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:43,280 Speaker 1: what happened? She's back? Never going away. She will haunt 1520 01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:46,559 Speaker 1: your dreams. She's never going away, folks, she will always 1521 01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:50,400 Speaker 1: be around. She said something today in an interview, or 1522 01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:52,880 Speaker 1: maybe it was yesterday. Who cares, but she said the 1523 01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:57,680 Speaker 1: following about Tulsie Gabbert quote. They're also going to do 1524 01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:02,120 Speaker 1: third party again. I'm not making any predictions. That's means 1525 01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:04,320 Speaker 1: she is, but I think they've got their eye on 1526 01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:08,080 Speaker 1: someone who's currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming 1527 01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,719 Speaker 1: her to be the third party candidate. She's the favorite 1528 01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:14,160 Speaker 1: of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and 1529 01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:17,920 Speaker 1: bots and other ways of supporting her so far, And 1530 01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:21,200 Speaker 1: that's assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she 1531 01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:26,200 Speaker 1: might not because she's also a Russian asset. Yeah, she's 1532 01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:30,200 Speaker 1: a Russian asset. I mean totally. They know they can't 1533 01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:33,280 Speaker 1: win without a third party candidate. So I don't know 1534 01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:35,960 Speaker 1: who it's going to be, but I will guarantee you 1535 01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:39,160 Speaker 1: they will have a third, vigorous third party challenge in 1536 01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:42,800 Speaker 1: the key states that they most needed. Okay, first of all, 1537 01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:45,559 Speaker 1: it's in an amazing that Hillary Clinton says that she's 1538 01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:47,880 Speaker 1: not going to make a prediction, and then she goes 1539 01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:51,040 Speaker 1: on to make a prediction that she about the election, 1540 01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:54,200 Speaker 1: where she says, I guarantee you. So it's not even 1541 01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:56,960 Speaker 1: like a little bit of a prediction. This is a 1542 01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:02,320 Speaker 1: very very intense prediction from Hillary Clinton. But beyond that, 1543 01:36:02,439 --> 01:36:10,639 Speaker 1: more importantly, they hate Tulsea Gabbert because she is in 1544 01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:14,280 Speaker 1: some ways too nice to the opposition for their taste, 1545 01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:16,760 Speaker 1: and she hates Trump and she trashes Trump all the time. 1546 01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:21,240 Speaker 1: But she does not approach Republicans as though they are 1547 01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:29,240 Speaker 1: some evil, diseased, an unworthy group of people. She doesn't 1548 01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:32,440 Speaker 1: take the approach that they're just automatically to be dismissed. 1549 01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:37,480 Speaker 1: And what you find is that the Democratic Party today, 1550 01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:42,479 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party today rejects that they want a total 1551 01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:47,639 Speaker 1: war scenario of politics where you either take the approach 1552 01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:51,240 Speaker 1: that Republicans are horrible people, that they're discussing, they're disgraceful 1553 01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:53,680 Speaker 1: and you shouldn't and anyone, I mean, I had a 1554 01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:55,600 Speaker 1: friend told me recently that you know that he was 1555 01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:59,600 Speaker 1: told by in a group chat of people for a 1556 01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:02,839 Speaker 1: business issue that anyone who voted for Trump is racist. 1557 01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:05,800 Speaker 1: And people challenge this guy on this and said, come 1558 01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:07,679 Speaker 1: on that. Can you know that's first of all, there 1559 01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:11,280 Speaker 1: are a lot of black and Hispanic voters who voted 1560 01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:13,360 Speaker 1: for Trump. I mean not as a percentage of the population, 1561 01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:15,200 Speaker 1: but there are still a lot of them across the country. 1562 01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:18,040 Speaker 1: To say anyone who voted for Trump is racist is 1563 01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:20,040 Speaker 1: such a and this guy doubled. Oh, note, it's true, 1564 01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:22,400 Speaker 1: anyone who voted for Trump is racist. And we've had 1565 01:37:22,439 --> 01:37:26,800 Speaker 1: different points in the process here where Democrats their official 1566 01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:29,760 Speaker 1: line from their biggest spokespersons has been you are complicit 1567 01:37:30,160 --> 01:37:33,519 Speaker 1: in Trump's racism, in his treason and his all these 1568 01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:37,080 Speaker 1: things if you vote for him. Trying so hard to 1569 01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:42,120 Speaker 1: really just force us to force people listening to believe 1570 01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:44,519 Speaker 1: that it's not even a choice anymore to vote for Trump, 1571 01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:46,200 Speaker 1: because if you do, you're a bad person, So you 1572 01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:50,000 Speaker 1: must then support his opponents, you must support the other side. 1573 01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:54,599 Speaker 1: Tulsie Gabber doesn't do that, at least not that I've heard. 1574 01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:58,040 Speaker 1: But to call her a Russian asset, I just wonder 1575 01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:01,720 Speaker 1: does anyone the Democratic Party have any scruples anymore? And 1576 01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:04,280 Speaker 1: they're not going to say Telsea Gabert is a veteran, 1577 01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:11,599 Speaker 1: she is a member of Congress. What basis is there 1578 01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:14,280 Speaker 1: that she's a This is even worse than the assad 1579 01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:16,960 Speaker 1: apologist stuff that used to say about her. Now they're 1580 01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:19,080 Speaker 1: saying that she's a she's a traitor, she's a tool 1581 01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:22,120 Speaker 1: of the Russian government, something they say about Trump too. 1582 01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:26,320 Speaker 1: Isn't that interesting? Isn't it also fascinating to watch people 1583 01:38:26,439 --> 01:38:29,559 Speaker 1: make allegations like this that are so flimsy and so 1584 01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:34,479 Speaker 1: without any any evidence whatsoever. But this becomes a tool 1585 01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:37,200 Speaker 1: because once you create the perception that there are Russian 1586 01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:40,920 Speaker 1: assets floating around who are doing whatever is opposed to 1587 01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:43,280 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party at any point in time, then that 1588 01:38:43,360 --> 01:38:46,160 Speaker 1: becomes a weaponient of itself. It just becomes a smear 1589 01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:49,160 Speaker 1: to be deployed at the whim of Democrats, including against 1590 01:38:49,160 --> 01:39:02,800 Speaker 1: a fellow Democrat in this case Telsey, Like soft butter 1591 01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:06,719 Speaker 1: on warm toast.

Yeah, 1599 01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:44,280 Speaker 1: we should start like smoking pipes and wearing ascots and 1600 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:50,200 Speaker 1: talking about talking about THEATA, not theater, THEATA with a 1601 01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:54,120 Speaker 1: monocle of how else would one watch theater with a 1602 01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:56,920 Speaker 1: top hat? Maybe two? That's how I roll. Although you 1603 01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:59,840 Speaker 1: need a giant top hat from my head, I don't know, 1604 01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:04,479 Speaker 1: like slash ooh, yeah, there you go. He's he's like, 1605 01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:06,960 Speaker 1: he's probably the most famous top hat wearer of the 1606 01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:12,320 Speaker 1: last several generations other than mister Peanut. I guess, yeah, 1607 01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:20,160 Speaker 1: it's probably true, mister peanut. All right, here we go, Mitch, right, oh, 1608 01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:22,240 Speaker 1: here we go, Hey, Buck. I love your show. I 1609 01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:25,040 Speaker 1: drive over the road for a big company. I work nights. 1610 01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:28,439 Speaker 1: I listen every night. Thank you so much, Mitch. Also, 1611 01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:31,800 Speaker 1: why haven't the climate freaks mentioned the fact that carbonated 1612 01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:35,640 Speaker 1: beverages are carbonated with CO two? Are they willing to 1613 01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:38,400 Speaker 1: force soft drink makers, beer brewers, and champagne makers out 1614 01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:41,080 Speaker 1: of business? I'm guessing that we be many many billions 1615 01:40:41,120 --> 01:40:43,000 Speaker 1: of dollars removed from the economy and many tens of 1616 01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:47,240 Speaker 1: thousands of jobs lost. Surely, soft drinks, et cetera contribute 1617 01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:51,360 Speaker 1: way more CO two to the atmosphere than cows. Well, Mitch, 1618 01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:54,679 Speaker 1: my man, it's methane from the cows that's the problem. 1619 01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:58,040 Speaker 1: It's not the CO two that gets them so upset. Anyway, 1620 01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:01,639 Speaker 1: love your show, brother, Shield's High. Thank you appreciated, my man. 1621 01:41:01,640 --> 01:41:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm glad to keep you safe and warm on the 1622 01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:07,600 Speaker 1: road when you're driving around the country engaged in commerce 1623 01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:13,679 Speaker 1: and capitalism for America. How in this week's Democrat debate, 1624 01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:16,000 Speaker 1: how many candidates and how many times did they say 1625 01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:18,479 Speaker 1: that I am too ignorant to know how to spend 1626 01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:22,200 Speaker 1: my own money? And who and how many times a 1627 01:41:22,280 --> 01:41:23,760 Speaker 1: day did they say they knew how to spend my 1628 01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:26,559 Speaker 1: money better than me. Instead of adding to my government expense, 1629 01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:28,640 Speaker 1: They're free to raise charity money for any cause they 1630 01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:31,840 Speaker 1: are passionate about. They are all very good at raising 1631 01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:34,920 Speaker 1: money for a cause. Why not apply that skill to 1632 01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:37,599 Speaker 1: fund charity from those that agree with them and allow 1633 01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:42,320 Speaker 1: me to decide how to spend my money. Donald Trump 1634 01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:45,160 Speaker 1: may not be the most diplomatic person, but he understands 1635 01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:50,720 Speaker 1: this simple concept built on freedom. Yeah. Man, they want 1636 01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:52,320 Speaker 1: to take your money. They think that they can spend 1637 01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:56,599 Speaker 1: it better than you. They're more qualified to make those 1638 01:41:56,680 --> 01:42:01,479 Speaker 1: determinations about capital allocation fancy way to say spending. So yeah, 1639 01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:03,800 Speaker 1: you're you're picking up You're picking up what they're putting down. 1640 01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:06,360 Speaker 1: How and they want to pick up a lot more 1641 01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:11,120 Speaker 1: of your money too, which is not good. Kristen Rights 1642 01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:14,280 Speaker 1: trained to busan is amazing. You have to see it. Well, 1643 01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:16,960 Speaker 1: let's produce your branded pick over here. So what are 1644 01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:19,799 Speaker 1: we thinking? It's great. I've just seen so many zombie 1645 01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:24,360 Speaker 1: movies over the last you know, my lifetime whatever, but 1646 01:42:24,479 --> 01:42:27,679 Speaker 1: this one was very creative. It just was was special. 1647 01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:31,200 Speaker 1: You think the whole genre was used up, but they 1648 01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:33,400 Speaker 1: they found a new way to do it. So I 1649 01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:35,680 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna see the Joker movie today. By the way, Oh, 1650 01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:38,040 Speaker 1: I'm probably get to see that tomorrow. Yeah, I'm I'm, 1651 01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm so, I'd just like to go check it out. 1652 01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:43,519 Speaker 1: I gotta know what's going on with the joker. And 1653 01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:46,599 Speaker 1: then we got TJ. See a joker. But I am 1654 01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:53,720 Speaker 1: not a Midnight Tooker. Steve Miller, Right, yes, yeah, I 1655 01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:56,400 Speaker 1: play my music in the sun. Though. Are we gonna 1656 01:42:56,479 --> 01:42:58,640 Speaker 1: keep doing this? No, I'm gonna stop, all right, t J. 1657 01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:03,200 Speaker 1: Buck If impeachment goes through, how much obligation do senators 1658 01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:05,200 Speaker 1: have to be in DC for the entirety of the 1659 01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,120 Speaker 1: hearings in the Senate? And how long do you think 1660 01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:09,840 Speaker 1: McConnell could drag it out? I only ask because this 1661 01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:12,240 Speaker 1: could be a major thorn in the side for several 1662 01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:16,280 Speaker 1: Democrat presidential campaigns, Warren Sanders, Klobuchar, Harris Booker. They're going 1663 01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:18,880 Speaker 1: to punish us with process. Should we not be obligated 1664 01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:23,960 Speaker 1: to return the favor? TJ? TJ. The problem with trying 1665 01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:27,960 Speaker 1: to punish Democrats with the processes, it's like throwing mudded pigs. 1666 01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:32,440 Speaker 1: They love the process, they love wallowing in the bureaucracy. 1667 01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:37,080 Speaker 1: So I just don't think that that's going to work out. 1668 01:43:38,240 --> 01:43:41,920 Speaker 1: I wish that we had the same mentality of abusing 1669 01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:45,519 Speaker 1: the various processes out there, but we just don't. Actually, 1670 01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:47,479 Speaker 1: I don't wish we had that mentality. I just it 1671 01:43:47,479 --> 01:43:49,200 Speaker 1: would be nice if we could fight fire with fire 1672 01:43:49,200 --> 01:43:51,639 Speaker 1: a little bit better. But that's kind of where we are, 1673 01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:53,600 Speaker 1: and I honestly don't I mean impeachment. The thing is, 1674 01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:57,160 Speaker 1: no one really knows how this will play out as 1675 01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,400 Speaker 1: a process because the Democrats are making it up as 1676 01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:01,439 Speaker 1: they go along. So unless you can get in the 1677 01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:03,920 Speaker 1: mind of Nancy Pelosi and know what her next move is, 1678 01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:08,960 Speaker 1: gonna be tough to know what's going on. Jonathan Buck, 1679 01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:12,759 Speaker 1: I think your best impression is your Pelosi. It always 1680 01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:16,920 Speaker 1: makes me laugh. I've been falling through with Pelosi for 1681 01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:19,920 Speaker 1: a while anyway, Thank you, Jonathan. I appreciate that. He 1682 01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,280 Speaker 1: also writes, I'm looking at the withdrawal from Syria and 1683 01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:25,080 Speaker 1: think it should be noted the Syrian Kurds, YPG and 1684 01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:29,760 Speaker 1: Iranian Kurds are not all the same. Tobarrow a Lord 1685 01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:32,679 Speaker 1: of the Rings analogy. It's like comparing the Woodland elves 1686 01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:37,439 Speaker 1: to the river Dale ones. Riverdale ones, isn't it? No? 1687 01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:41,680 Speaker 1: Is ver is the Riverdale Elves? No, that's Riverdale's a 1688 01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:45,080 Speaker 1: place in New York is in Riverdale like from Dawson's 1689 01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:47,400 Speaker 1: Creek or something isn't like River End or River River 1690 01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:50,839 Speaker 1: Run or something like that. I've actually never seen. Riverdale 1691 01:44:50,920 --> 01:44:53,200 Speaker 1: is also a show, That's what I'm thinking of. Yeah, 1692 01:44:53,200 --> 01:44:54,840 Speaker 1: it's a show. It's a it's a kind of a 1693 01:44:54,880 --> 01:44:58,439 Speaker 1: teen drama e show, right, but it's also a wealthy 1694 01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:03,280 Speaker 1: enclave leave a wealthy encliff technically of the Bronx. Yes, 1695 01:45:04,479 --> 01:45:06,120 Speaker 1: a bit of geography on the show today for the 1696 01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:10,519 Speaker 1: Buck section show. Um, but yeah, I don't know enough 1697 01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:13,680 Speaker 1: about the comparison you're making your job with him. But 1698 01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:15,559 Speaker 1: thank you so much, my friend for listening to show. 1699 01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:19,639 Speaker 1: I'm glad, Oh gay you like Pa Polsi. Pelosi's gonna 1700 01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:23,559 Speaker 1: send you a big hug over the weekend. Okay, President 1701 01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:29,200 Speaker 1: Trump is a total lunatic, uh Greg, Greg rats, Hey Buck, 1702 01:45:29,280 --> 01:45:32,600 Speaker 1: longtime listener here. You've long been at the top of 1703 01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:37,080 Speaker 1: my list for clear, concise and comprehensive analysis without wasting 1704 01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:39,880 Speaker 1: time repeating the same points or puffing yourself up in 1705 01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:42,400 Speaker 1: the process. Thank you Greg for noticing that I do. 1706 01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:45,519 Speaker 1: I do note that there's some some hosts out there. 1707 01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:47,360 Speaker 1: There's only one who I think has earned the right 1708 01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:48,920 Speaker 1: to always talk about how awesome he is, and we 1709 01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:50,720 Speaker 1: all know who that is, and that's because he is 1710 01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:53,559 Speaker 1: the man. But there are some other hosts out there, 1711 01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:56,360 Speaker 1: who are you. I'm the best, I'm amazing, I'm the smartest. 1712 01:45:57,320 --> 01:45:59,400 Speaker 1: I I leave that to the people listening to determine 1713 01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:01,360 Speaker 1: how good or not good this show is. You know, 1714 01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:03,200 Speaker 1: I don't need to tell everybody how good the show is, 1715 01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:05,320 Speaker 1: because anybody who's smarter listens to the show knows it's 1716 01:46:05,320 --> 01:46:10,400 Speaker 1: really good. So here we go. Greg writes, in regard 1717 01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:15,960 Speaker 1: to assault rifles, my preferred term is modern sporting rifle. 1718 01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:21,280 Speaker 1: This term has been used widely among the Second Amendment community, 1719 01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:23,120 Speaker 1: and a couple years ago the Washington Examine or had 1720 01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:25,240 Speaker 1: an op ed and why this is the term that 1721 01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:27,800 Speaker 1: our side should adopt. I've included a link. Keep up 1722 01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:31,880 Speaker 1: the good work, best wishes, shields high Greg. Greg, thank you. 1723 01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I can see what you're saying, and I 1724 01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:37,839 Speaker 1: appreciate the desire to use the term modern sporting rifle. 1725 01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:41,679 Speaker 1: I just I don't think that the other side will 1726 01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:44,240 Speaker 1: play along or that one so we could just use 1727 01:46:44,280 --> 01:46:47,960 Speaker 1: different terms for the same thing. And m I don't 1728 01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:51,679 Speaker 1: really know where that ends up. Where that goes Sean. 1729 01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:55,479 Speaker 1: The Joker is not a superhero or super villain movie. 1730 01:46:56,080 --> 01:46:59,720 Speaker 1: It's dry for a drama and weak as a horror film. 1731 01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:03,120 Speaker 1: If you watch it expecting anything like a superhero movie, 1732 01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:06,799 Speaker 1: you will be severely disappointed. It is literally a boring 1733 01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:10,680 Speaker 1: backstory movie. The only thing making it worthwhile is when 1734 01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:16,120 Speaker 1: he is when he takes Robert de Niro out. Have 1735 01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:18,080 Speaker 1: you heard this that it's boring from anybody? This is 1736 01:47:18,120 --> 01:47:21,439 Speaker 1: the first someone doesn't like the Joker movie. That might 1737 01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:24,680 Speaker 1: be the first, I think. I think that's somebody from 1738 01:47:24,720 --> 01:47:30,320 Speaker 1: people just don't like certain things. Why so serious? Heath 1739 01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:33,320 Speaker 1: Ledger's Joker was really scary and really good at the 1740 01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:36,920 Speaker 1: same time. I still like Jack Nicholson's what It's just 1741 01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:38,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. He was special. That's the one I 1742 01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:40,720 Speaker 1: grew up on, so I always have a place in 1743 01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:44,320 Speaker 1: my heart. You just don't like it at all or 1744 01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:46,880 Speaker 1: just not above Heath Ledger. I mean he did a 1745 01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:48,720 Speaker 1: pretty good job, I guess for what it was. I 1746 01:47:48,760 --> 01:47:51,599 Speaker 1: mean that original Tim Burton Batman was pretty cool at 1747 01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:55,240 Speaker 1: the time. It holds up reasonably well. Some of the 1748 01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:58,760 Speaker 1: action sequences are really pretty lame, but it holds up reasonably. Well, 1749 01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:03,639 Speaker 1: i'd say, um, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, that's maybe. 1750 01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:06,960 Speaker 1: I wish I can remember the actor's name from the 1751 01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:10,320 Speaker 1: Adam West. Remember I think he's holding Kim basic or 1752 01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:12,080 Speaker 1: at one point and he's like, if anybody else calls 1753 01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:16,960 Speaker 1: you beast, I'll rip their lungs out. Remember remember that line? Classic. 1754 01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:20,080 Speaker 1: So someone just said that I spoiled Well, I just 1755 01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:23,799 Speaker 1: spoiled Jo. How could I spoil Joker and spoiled Joker? 1756 01:48:24,240 --> 01:48:26,439 Speaker 1: It's one of our other producers is writing inybody telling 1757 01:48:26,439 --> 01:48:29,439 Speaker 1: me this is nonsense. That's nonsense. I don't even know 1758 01:48:29,479 --> 01:48:31,000 Speaker 1: the end. How could I spoil it under the ending? 1759 01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:38,200 Speaker 1: Good point? So anyway, it is what it is? All right? Um, 1760 01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:42,840 Speaker 1: I'll Ali rights or is it Ali Ali? Ali? Could 1761 01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:47,000 Speaker 1: be other? Your last thought is right? The Democrats using 1762 01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:50,040 Speaker 1: the Middle East to line their pockets is that they 1763 01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:52,639 Speaker 1: cause global chaos. There was gun running, all right? Cool, 1764 01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:57,160 Speaker 1: appreciate that, Sammy Number one. I love your show. I 1765 01:48:57,240 --> 01:48:59,559 Speaker 1: listened to you on the iHeartRadio app. And the news 1766 01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:02,760 Speaker 1: breaks comes through the NBC fakes news though. I hope 1767 01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:05,080 Speaker 1: there's something you can do about that. No, Unfortunately I 1768 01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:07,760 Speaker 1: don't news breaks. I don't get to control number two. 1769 01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:10,799 Speaker 1: I heard this morning there are seven million unfulfilled jobs 1770 01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:13,680 Speaker 1: or unfilled jobs in the US. Trump should give the 1771 01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:16,000 Speaker 1: worthless govern employees a pink slip, tell them their jobs 1772 01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:19,080 Speaker 1: waiting for them in the private sector. Sammy, it'd be 1773 01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:20,200 Speaker 1: nice if we could do that, but it's not going 1774 01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:23,479 Speaker 1: to happen because people tend to think that any shrinking 1775 01:49:23,479 --> 01:49:26,920 Speaker 1: of government jobs is a terrible thing and really really bad. 1776 01:49:26,960 --> 01:49:29,760 Speaker 1: And that's just sort of where it is. So I 1777 01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:34,439 Speaker 1: wish it were true, and there you have it, or 1778 01:49:34,439 --> 01:49:36,040 Speaker 1: I wish that were feasible. I should say, and there 1779 01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:40,240 Speaker 1: you have it. Ah, here you go.
