1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The increasingly insane hashtag 2 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: resistance thinks that they can make comparisons between Ivanka's email 3 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: and Hillary's email debacle will destroy that lie and also 4 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: look at how one judge from that's right. The Ninth 5 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: Circuit thinks that he can overrule the executive branch. And 6 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 1: what's going on with the caravan in Tipuana Namore coming 7 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: up on the buck Sexton Show. This is the buck 8 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: Sexton Show where the mission or mission is to decode 9 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, 10 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: you're a great American again. The buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst, 11 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: remember no, Welcome to the buck Sex and show. Everybody 12 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: great to have you with me. Thanksgiving week is upon us. Man, 13 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: I can taste the turkey right now. I can almost 14 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: just imagine that gravy, just getting some of it, almost 15 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: shirt because I love that gravy so much. The gravy 16 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: is very important. By the way, do not skimp on 17 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: the gravy. Make sure that you really bring your a game, 18 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: because you could have a great bird. You pour a 19 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: week sauce on a great bird doesn't really matter anymore. 20 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: Now now you got a mediocre bird. You don't want that. Now. 21 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: We've got some important issues to get into today, including 22 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: what's going on with this caravan and Tijuana. In fighting 23 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: in the Democrat side of things, that's always fun. Look 24 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: at what the Democrats are doing to fight with each other. 25 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: Trump finally released a statement on Kashogi, this Saudy dissident 26 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: who was a US permanent resident got brutally murdered, and 27 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: a consulate and the Saudi consulate in Turkey, and it's down. 28 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: We've got some updates on that for you and all 29 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: the rest of it. But I mean, there's just one 30 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: story that I wanted to dive into today with all 31 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: of you that is really a reminder of what we 32 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: need to expect going forward, and that is that Ivanka 33 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: Trump has come into the attention, the negative attention of 34 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: the media for the first time in a while. They 35 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: usually stay away. You know, Ivanka doesn't really get involved 36 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: in the more contentious, at least publicly, the more contentious 37 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: political issues, but she used a personal email account to 38 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: send hundreds of emails about government business and in the 39 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: first year in office, and what you can imagine what 40 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: immediately happens here is the left goes into full on 41 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: freak out mode about how all see look at all 42 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: the hypocrisy with the Hillary's emails. That was a big deal, 43 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: but this isn't a big deal with my friends, this 44 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: is pathetic. Okay, let me give you the details of 45 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: this so far, and I have to because unfortunately, this 46 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: is what we're going to be doing. We need to 47 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: get used to this. This is trench warfare, and that 48 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: means we're going to be playing a lot of political 49 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: defense the next two years. There's no way around it. 50 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: I wish that I could come in here and we 51 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: could talk. We could talk more about policy that could 52 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: be enacted. I mean, we'll still talk policy, but I 53 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: mean policy that might actually get done and what the 54 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: best way is for the government to do it. Instead, 55 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: what we're gonna end up talking about is this and 56 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: that completely bullcrap investigation of this administration figure, that administration 57 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: figure Trump's finances, what Trump had for breakfast five years 58 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: ago on the third Tuesday of the month. That's the 59 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: kind of stuff the Democrats are going to spend all 60 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: their time on, and they're just gonna saturate the airwaves 61 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: with this stuff. I mean, this is the kind of thing. 62 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: Where'll you'll see people who they don't care. I mean, 63 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: they will be gleeful even when some of these some 64 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: of these theories that they have and some of the 65 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: stuff does not pan out, because it's all about just 66 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: throwing more stuff at the other side. That it's based 67 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: on lies or that there's no evidence behind it doesn't 68 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: matter because it forces us to do what we're gonna 69 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: have to do right now from home, which is just 70 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: to play defense. Here's here's there's the story from the 71 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: Washington Post today. Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails last 72 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: year to White House aids, cabin officials, and her assistants 73 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: using a personal account, many of them in violation of 74 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: federal records rules, according to people familiar with a White 75 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: House examination of her correspondence. White House ethics officials learned 76 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: of Trump's repeated use of a personal email while reviewing 77 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: emails gathered last fall by five cabint agencies to respond 78 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 1: to a public records lawsuit. That review revealed that throughout 79 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: much of twenty seventeen, she often discussed or relate official 80 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: White House business using a private email account with a 81 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: domain that she shares with her husband, Jared Kushner. The 82 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: discovery alarms some advisors or President Trump, who feared that 83 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: his daughter's practices bore similarities to the personal use email 84 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: use of Hillary Clinton, an issue he made a focus 85 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: of her twenty sixteen campaign. Uh, folks, folks, come on, 86 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: this is pathetic. All right, this is this is a joke. 87 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: This was during primarily during the transition. She was sending 88 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: emails about logistics and scheduling. You know, hey, guys, do 89 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: we have this meeting later today? Okay, So let's just 90 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: knock down some of the because what they're saying is, oh, 91 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: it's like Hillary, and people are calling for an investigation. 92 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: They're got to investigate this. The House has already said. 93 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: You have Democrat members of the House saying that they're 94 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: going to be looking into this, like this is an 95 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: issue that we need to care about. I mean, these 96 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: people are delusional, they are nuts. But that's what's that's 97 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: what's happening here. The big problem with Hillary's emails. Let's 98 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: just take a quick, a quick trip down memory lane 99 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: with Hillary. All right, The big problem was that there 100 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: was classified information in her private email server and in 101 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: exchanging over unclassified unclassified service. It means it's very easy 102 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: for especially a foreign intelligence adversary, to get access to 103 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: that very very sensitive national security information. Every instance of 104 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: that classified being sent, received, you know, transmitted, held on 105 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: an unsecure server is in fact a crime. Now the 106 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: statute does not get into intent, but you know people 107 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: interpreted it, people being Democrats who are at the top 108 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: of the DOJ. But you know, people determined that they 109 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: would not prosecutor for. But that's a very serious issue. 110 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton having not just one over a hundred confirmed 111 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: classified classified emails in that server, including Special Access program information, 112 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: which is very very sensitive stuff, is reckless beyond words, 113 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: and even Coomy, even sank To Coomy, said that it 114 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: was extremely careless. There's no question what she did was egregious, 115 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: was reckless, was wrong, and was criminal. Okay, classified versus 116 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 1: unclassified is a huge distinction here. There is absolutely nothing 117 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: to suggest that anything in Ivanka's private emails was classified. Now, 118 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: you could say to me, whoa buck, We don't know 119 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: unless we investigate, I say, okay. But you could also 120 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: say that about everything everyone's email. Do you have classified email? 121 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, we don't know. Maybe we should, maybe 122 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: we should look at it, Maybe we should supped to 123 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: your email, right. I mean they could do this to 124 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: any any public figure, anyone who's ever had a security clearance. 125 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: They could just say, well, we won't know unless we check, 126 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: and they just start pulling, pulling their information, pulling their data. 127 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: So on the most important level is classified. Hillary had it, 128 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: Ivanka doesn't. That puts this in a completely different category 129 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: of discussion. Okay, And then you add in the other stuff. 130 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: Ivanka didn't have a private server set up in her basement. 131 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: She used in email a private email domain for routine 132 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: logisticals in business. And by the way, it's completely legal 133 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: for her to do that. The only requirement under record 134 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: keeping laws is that she would forward those emails to 135 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: her government address so that they are part of record keeping. Okay, fine, 136 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: When you look at what has happened here, she hasn't 137 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: deleted any emails, unlike Hillary who deleted over you know, 138 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: there was one over thirty thousand deleted. She wasn't deleting them. 139 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: They're all in the server still. So all the records 140 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: have been kept, nothing has been hidden, nothing has been 141 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: No one's used hammers on hard drives as they did 142 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: with Hillary. No one has used bleach bit to try 143 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: to digitally wipe all remnants of any information from the server, 144 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: as they did with Hillary, and no one was running 145 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: for president, or rather, Ivanka wasn't running for president running 146 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: around lying about the use of her server as Hillary did. 147 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: So those are just off the top of my head, 148 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: the ways that these are very different. But this is 149 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: what the left does, right. This is this is a 150 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: version of guy number one is a mass murderer, I 151 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: jaywalked earlier today. We are technically both criminals, that is true, 152 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: Buck and mass murderer, both technically lawbreakers. One of them 153 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: is a jaywalker, one of them is. And I jaywalked 154 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: like a madman. I mean I jaywalker. I'm in New York. 155 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: I make a science of it. I make an art 156 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: form of my jaywalking. So, you know, yes, technically true, 157 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: but dishonest on the merits and claiming that there's any 158 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: similarity between Ivanka's email situation and Hillary Clinton's as I mean, 159 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: this was like front page News today. I mean, this 160 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: was a big all Morning Long and MSNBC, CNN, They're 161 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: all running these big stories about it. This is this 162 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: is an instance of they are they are creating a 163 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: narrative and they're chasing it, and now they're going to 164 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: try it. They will use the media stories that are 165 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: out there to try to claim but there's greater interest 166 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: in an official congressional investigation of Ivanka's emails. What they 167 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: really want is just to turn the heat up on Trump, 168 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: to go after Ivanka and Jared, get them under oath, 169 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: get them in public hearings. That's coming, And that's why 170 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: I'm what I'm why I'm talking about this is, yes, 171 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: wanted to smash the lives from the left, but this 172 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: is showing you their hand very early. The media is 173 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: going to create the narrative and then Congress is going 174 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: to act on it. The Democrat majority House is going 175 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: to act on it with subpoenas and with hearings on 176 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: just endless amounts of nonsense. And so you can already 177 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: start to see this playing out a little bit. And 178 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna love the idea, absolutely love the idea of 179 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: getting Trump family members, Donald Trump, Junior, Ivanka, Jared Kushner, 180 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: Trump confidants, you know, Kelly and Conway, put them under 181 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: oath as often as they can. See if they can 182 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: embarrass them, see if they can get them in a 183 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: perjury trap. Just whatever that they can do. It will 184 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: be a campaign of endless harassment against Trump and all 185 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: the people around Trump. And that's unfort you know, unfortunately, 186 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: and enough Americans that believe the Democrat bullcrap to give 187 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: them control of the House. And now this is what 188 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: we're heading for. People say, oh, well, now there'll be 189 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: an ability in government. It's not gonna be any accountability. 190 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: There certainly won't be any accountability for the clowns. They're 191 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: gonna waste taxpayer time and dollars on what will be 192 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: witch hunt investigation after witch hunt investigation that are just 193 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: meant to be the equivalent of MSNBC style anti Trump 194 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: monologues given from the floor of Congress, Ivanka's emails, just 195 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: like Hillary's emails. That's a live but they'll keep going 196 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: with this. This is also why whenever these people want 197 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: to lecture me or you on Trump's decorum or you know, 198 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: maintaining decency in our politics, I'd say these people play dirtier, nastier, 199 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: and more dishonest than anybody else could ever imagine. So 200 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: I don't really need to hear it from the Schumer Pelosi, 201 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: Maxine Waters axis about how we should all be acting 202 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: and how Trump is so beyond the pale, and you know, 203 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: it's so discrediting the way that he tweets and all 204 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: this stuff. This is what we're heading for. I mean, 205 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to try to find ways for us to 206 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: focus in on what really matters on the policy debates 207 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: and discussions. But Democrats are just going to They're just 208 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: going to turn this into as much of a food 209 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: fight as they can. And they don't care how, they 210 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: don't care how dirty they get, because they're already filthy. 211 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: Ivanka's emails are nothing like hillaries, and nothing about Ivanka 212 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: is anything like Hillary. So there's that at least about 213 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: their situations. Eight four four two five eight four four 214 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: nine hundred buck. We will be right back team. I'm 215 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: thrilled to announce my support for this bipartisan bill that 216 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: will make our community safer and give former inmates a 217 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: second chance at life after they have served their time. 218 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: So important, and we're all better off when former inmates 219 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: can receive and re enter society is law abiding, productive citizens, 220 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: and thanks to our booming economy, they now have a 221 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: chance at more opportunities than they've ever had before. This 222 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: is true, our economy is so strong that when people 223 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: are getting out of jail, they're actually able to find jobs. 224 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: That's President Trump talking about this, this First Step Act 225 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: and this effort at this bipartisan effort at criminal justice reform. 226 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: Jared Cushner's very involved in Avengeance. I hire this just 227 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: because one it's an example of how conservatives and the 228 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: right get it basically no credit from the other side 229 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: when they do things that everyone kind of agrees or 230 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: at least well intentioned. You you may disagree with this 231 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: criminal reform bill, by the way, I know some conservatives 232 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: who do, but at least it is well intentioned. You 233 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: want to give people a second chance. You want to 234 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: be fair to them, people that you know, serve time 235 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: that are incarcerated or not non people because they made 236 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: a mistake, because you know, they've they've had a difficulty 237 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: making the right choice at different points in their lives. 238 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: I mean, look within reason, right, I'm not talking about 239 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: like mass murderers here. We're talking usually about people that 240 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: got them involved in drugs. I mean, drugs is the 241 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: prime you know, it is the prime mover in large 242 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: scale incarceration in this country. And so the Trump is 243 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: trying to do something here I mean, and they get 244 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: so little credit. There's no good faith from the other 245 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: side about what Trump will do or what he's willing 246 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: to I think by the way Pelosi gave him a 247 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: serious infrastructure package. I think he'd pushed Mitch McConnell, and 248 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: I think he'd pushed the Republicans in the House as 249 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: well as in the Senate to try to do something 250 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: on it. I really do. But this is one of 251 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: the very rare things. I know, it's we got the 252 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: lame duck here, but this is one of the rare, 253 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: rare moments where he might actually see some legislative movement 254 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: before we get into just know, interractable political political warfare. 255 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: And I also want to note that while we got 256 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: the other side always posing like the people that are 257 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: evidence based, and you know that the left Democrats, they 258 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: they've really internalized this notion that they're the one, you know, 259 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: Trump is the crazy one, and they're just trying to 260 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: save the republic. Trump is the one that's disconnected from reality, 261 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: and they're the ones that are kind of standing, you know, 262 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: standing on the front lines of saving the republic or 263 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: our democracy. They prefer that to republic whatever it is. 264 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: I saw this. Yugov pulled it in from the Economist, 265 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: and Yugov and I just I had to note this one. 266 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: Sixty seven percent of Democrats believe it is definitely true 267 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: or probably true that Russia tampered with vote tallies in 268 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: order to get Donald Trump elected. Almost seven out of 269 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: ten Democrats pretty much believe not that Russia and Trump colluded. 270 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, that's a whole separate thing, that Russia 271 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: actually changed votes so that Trump would win the twenty 272 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: sixteen election. Not a single person, not a single publication, 273 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: No one has provided one piece of evidence to support that. 274 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: You could say, as the left loves to all the time, 275 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: without evidence, this allegation is entirely without evidence. Sixty seven 276 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: percent of Democrats think that Putin was able to get 277 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: into air gapped voting machines and change. If Putin could 278 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: do that, by the way, I mean you almost want 279 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: to tip your hat to them. If the Russians are 280 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: that skilled that nobody noticed. Boris oleg and Yuri like 281 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: will judge the Volts. It will make the volta change. 282 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: But this, this is why I tell you we are 283 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: in a time of democratic mass delusion. They have convinced 284 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: themselves their media is convinced about things that are just 285 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: flatly untrue. They think that we're delusional, and I see that. 286 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: I'm like, look, I don't like all the Trump's tweets. 287 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: I don't like everything that Trump does and says. I 288 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: don't agree with them all the time. And I know 289 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: that there's some core stuff that he does and said, 290 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: I just like his policies. I'm I'm not delusional about it. Yeah. 291 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: I think he tells FIBs sometimes to mess with the 292 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: media or because he feels like it, but it's not 293 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: important and I don't really care. Democrats actually believe the crazy. 294 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: They don't think that that it's, you know, the cost 295 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: of doing business for their side. They believe things like 296 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: Russia tampered with vote tallies. Strong majority of Democrats believe 297 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: that according to this ball it's just nuts. Kaushogie. Trump's 298 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: got a statement on it. Left's going to freak out 299 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: about it. We got to get into that, so stay right, 300 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: stay right there, team. I don't make deals with Saudi Arabia. 301 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: I don't have money from Saudi Arabia. I have nothing 302 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: to do with Saudi Arabia. I couldn't care less and 303 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: I will tell you. It is. Most of you know. 304 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: Being president has cost me a fortune, and that's okay 305 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: with me. I knew that a long time ago. All 306 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: I do is focus on this country and making great 307 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: deals for this country. I don't focus on making great 308 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: deals for myself because I don't care anymore. So Saudi 309 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: Arabia has nothing to do with me. What does have 310 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: to do with me is putting America first. Right now, 311 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: we have oil prices in great shape. I'm not going 312 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: to destroy the world economy and I'm not going to 313 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: destroy the economy for our country by being foolish with 314 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabias. I think the statement was pretty obvious what 315 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: I said, it's about America first. That's Trump in the 316 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: midst of what is now a media frenzy to almost 317 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: blame the president of the United States for the torture, 318 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: murder and dismemberment of a Saudi dissident writer and kind 319 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: of pundit for the Washington Post opinion calumnist, and it's 320 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: it's really this is all a bash Trump operation now 321 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: because there's nothing because I've been saying all along, there's 322 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: nothing Trump can do that would that would placate critics 323 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: on this issue. And the only things that he could 324 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: do that would get close to play hitting them would 325 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: be recklessly stupid for the president of the United States 326 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: to do under the circumstances. I mean, would just be 327 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: completely unacceptably stupid. You know, what are we really gonna do. 328 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna try to go to the Are we gonna 329 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: rendition the leader of Saudi Arabia, the Crown Prince mom 330 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: had been Salmon and take him to the Hague to 331 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: stand trial. What under what authority are we going to 332 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: punish him? We're gonna try to extradite the leader of 333 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. You know, this isn't like the leader of 334 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: Vanawatu or something. I mean, you know, they do have 335 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: real resources, a real military, and a lot of people. 336 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: So this is this is not going to be a simple, 337 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: straightforward thing for us to even if we were that crazy, 338 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: which we're not. I'm just saying this the thing when 339 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: you talk about when you talk about the options here, 340 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: none of the options that people want Trump to pursue 341 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: are realistic. Okay, So he released a statement today from 342 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: the White House. I'm gonna read, well, read most of 343 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: it to you, because it'll go pretty quickly it's interally, 344 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: he writes, the world is a very dangerous place exclamation point. 345 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: The country of Iran, as an example, is responsible for 346 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: a bloody proxy war against Saudi Arabia and Yemen, trying 347 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: to destabilize Iraq's fragile attempt at democracy. Supporting the terror 348 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: group has belong lemonon propping up dictator Bashar Assad in 349 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: Syria who has killed millions of his own citizens, and 350 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: much more likewise, the Iranians have killed many Americans and 351 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: other innocent people throughout the Middle East. On the other hand, 352 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia would gladly withdraw from Yemen. If the Iranians 353 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: would agree to leave, they would immediately provide humanitarian assistance. 354 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: After my heavily negotiate a trip to Saudi Arabia last year, 355 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: the Kingdom agreed to spend and invest four hundred and 356 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars in the United States. This is a 357 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: record amount of money. It will create hundreds of thousands 358 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: of jobs in tremendous economic development. Of the four hundred 359 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: and fifty billion, one hundred and ten billion will be 360 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: spent on the purchase of military equipment from Boweing, Lockheed 361 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: Raytheon and many other defense contractors. If we foolishly canceled 362 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: these contracts, Russia and China would be the enormous beneficiaries, 363 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: very happy to acquire all of this newfound business. It 364 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: would be a gift from them to the United States. 365 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: The crime against Jamal Kashogi was a terrible one and 366 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: one that our country does not condone. Indeed, we have 367 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: taken strong action against those already known to have participated 368 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: in the murder. After great independent research, we now know 369 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: many details of this horrible crime. We've already sanctioned seventeen 370 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: Saudis known to have been involved in the murder of 371 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: mister Kashogi and the disposal of his body. Representatives of 372 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia say that Kashogi was an enemy of the 373 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: state and a member of the Muslim brotherhood. But my 374 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: decision is in no way based on that. This is 375 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: an unacceptable and horrible crime. King Salmon and Crown Prince 376 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: Mohammad been Salmon vigorously deny any knowledge of the planning 377 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: or execution. Our intelligence agencies continue to access all information. 378 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: But it could very well be that Crown Prince had 379 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: no knowledge of this tragic event. Maybe he did, Maybe 380 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 1: he didn't. I understand their members of Congress who for 381 00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: political reasons or others want to go in a different 382 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: direction for me. They're free to do so. I intend 383 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: to ensure that in a very dangerous world, America is 384 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: pursuing its national interests and vigorously contesting countries that we 385 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: should do his harm. Very simply. It is called America first. 386 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: So I skipped some parts of that. I'm want to 387 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: go too much detail in the radio, but I mean 388 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: that you get you get the gist for sure. That's 389 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: most of it. So here's a Trump is saying, We've 390 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: got important business with Saudi Arabia. We need Saudi Arabia 391 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: as a counter terrorism partner, we need the saudiast to 392 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: be a buffer against Iranian expansionism and extremism throughout the 393 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: Middle East. And we aren't about to go after the 394 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: leader of a country that we've been allied with for 395 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: a long time without having definitive proof of this. And 396 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: for all the people saying, oh, the Washington Post report 397 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: that the intelligence agencies, okay, yeah, the intelligent agencies also 398 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 1: thoughts of dominant weapons of mass destruction. Intelligence agency, These 399 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: aren't law enforcement organizations. They don't deal with beyond a 400 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: reasonable doubt. They deal with what we think what is 401 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: our best assessment. So I'm not saying you can you 402 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: disregard their assessment, but the best assessment isn't enough in 403 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: this case. There's not enough certainty to outweigh US interests 404 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia and dealing with the King of Saudi Arabia. 405 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: And you know, people are I understand a lot of 406 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: you listening, probably yeah, buck. Of course journalists are in 407 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: full freak out mode over this though, because oh the 408 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: line is that Trump is soft on dictators, and Trump 409 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: doesn't care and even Trump is personally making making money 410 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: off of this somehow. I mean, this is crazy play 411 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: clip fourteen. We're not going to give up hundreds of 412 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: billions of dollars in orders and let Russia, China and 413 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: everybody else have them. If you look at Iran, just 414 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: take a look at Iran, and you look at what 415 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: they're doing. They are a terrorist nation right now. Although 416 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: I must tell you they're a better right now than 417 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: they were when I took off. As when I took off, 418 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: as they were heading in a very very bad direction, 419 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: and at some point things very positive frankly could happen 420 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: with Iran, but we also need a counterbalance and Israel 421 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: needs help also. If we abandoned Saudi Arabia would be 422 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: a terrible mistake. Presidents just saying it. We're not going 423 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: to abandon the Saudiast. It's not in it. It's not 424 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: in our interests to abandon the Saudiast. We've got big 425 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: deals to do with them. We've got big strategic interests 426 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: in the region. And you know what, what the terrible 427 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: thing that happened to one guy is not enough to 428 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: derail all us interests in this relationship. It's just it's 429 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: just not are we really going to and by the way, 430 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: really going to what? What do these journalists even want 431 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: to happen? And I know you know this, this is 432 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: from the beginning. This has been an opportunity and an 433 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 1: opening for the media to bash Trump, to say that 434 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: he's too cozy with dictators. Any we got more comments 435 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: with me. Think you have to ask those people what 436 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: their motivation is. I think of the seventeen it's mostly 437 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: like fourteen men who are on that letter. If in 438 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: fact there is any misogyny involved in it, it's their problem, 439 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: not mine. My main concerned was that there is no vision, 440 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: there is no common value, there is no goal that 441 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: is really articulated in this letter aside from we need 442 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: to change. And when you actually look at the signatories, 443 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 1: it is not necessarily reflective of the diversity of the 444 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: party we You know, after we have about sixteen signatories, 445 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: fourteen of them are male. There are very few people 446 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: of color in the caucus. There there's very few ideological diversity. 447 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: It's not like there are progressives that are signing on. 448 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: It's not like you have a broad based coalition. So 449 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: I find you know, I don't. I'm not totally bought 450 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: into the concept. So there you have the kind of 451 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: two standard bearers within the Democratic Congress right now, or 452 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, the soon to be Democrat majority House of Representatives. 453 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: You've got Nancy Pelosi and on the one end, who 454 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: represents the ultimate establishment inside DC player I mean, Nancy 455 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: Pelosi is the swamp personified. And then you've got Ocazio Cortez, 456 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: who is the not especially well read but somewhat telegenic 457 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: and charismatic progressive from Queens, who's the youngest I think 458 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: we're the youngest member of Congress of all time, and 459 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: who just just you know, just wants like free stuff, 460 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: like for everyone, man, I mean, just go for it. 461 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: So that that there's a lot of that going on 462 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: now too, there's this sort of new progressive surge into 463 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: the Congress. But here's what I think is gonna happen. 464 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: They're all gonna fall in line beyond Pelosi. This talk 465 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: of a Pelosi an anti Pelosi political insurgency when the 466 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: Democrat it's just not going to happen because ultimately Democrats 467 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: are very much unified on what matters to them, which 468 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:15,719 Speaker 1: is enlarging the government control of people's lives, spending the 469 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: taxpayers money, and dictating as much of your life as 470 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: they can. That's it' that's what they really want to do. 471 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: Collectivism and statism. Those are the twin pillars of the 472 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: modern Democratic Party. Sure, we can slice the onion a 473 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: little thinner into identity politics, transgender rights, abortion on demand, 474 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: I mean there's all there's all those things too, But 475 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: at a at a macro thirty thousand foot philosophical level, 476 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: Democrats are about collectivism and stateism, big powerful government and 477 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: treat people like groups and have an elite, which would 478 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: obviously be the Democrat Congress and the media. And others, 479 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: an elite that determines what the collective good is and 480 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: that must be pursued at the expense of individual rights 481 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: and individual property and all the rest of it. Right, 482 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: that's a summary view of what they're trying to do. 483 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: They're trying to accomplish. You know, they always act like 484 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: they've got this big tent in big differences. You mean, 485 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: the big difference for the Democrats is do they go 486 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: for free college or just college that like the taxpayers 487 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: are totally paying for. I mean, you know, it's really 488 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: all the same stuff from them. You really don't hear 489 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: where's the area of great ideological friction within For the Democrats, 490 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: it's always just a question of how quickly they can 491 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: get to the same place, which is socialism. I mean 492 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party now, is this the American Socialist Party? 493 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: They won't say that. It was really interesting, Actually, I 494 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: had a a progressive activist on Rising and I said, 495 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: do you think the Democrats are going to embrace because 496 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: he's he's he had a Warren something like Warren Warren 497 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: rocks pin on, like Elizabeth Warren is awesome. I know. 498 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: So there's some people who still think Elizabeth Warren's going 499 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: to run for something. And I said, do you think 500 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: that they'll just embrace the terminology, never mind the idea. 501 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: They've already embraced the ideology. But will they embrace the 502 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: terminology of democratic socialism? Will the Dems go full Democrats 503 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: socialist in twenty twenty? And he said, oh no, no, no, 504 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: of course not. Why not? Bernie Sanders says it, Okazio 505 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: Cortez says it. I mean, these are the leading, the 506 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: leading figures in the Democratic Party now. I mean Nancy 507 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: Pelosi doesn't say it quite yet. But you know, it's 508 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: also hard for somebody who's worth fifty million dollars to 509 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: act like she's really all that concerned with socialism, right, 510 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: I mean, or rather, lots of rich people are conservant socialism, 511 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: but they always end up falling into very hypocritical positions 512 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: on that. Oh, like Bill de Blasio. By the way, 513 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: that's a perfect transition. Here's what Bill Deblasio said recons 514 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: and Billa Blasi. I remember he's a guy, hey, Billy 515 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: de Blasio, also known as Warren Wilhelm, that was his name. 516 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: He changed his name as an adult. But but de 517 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: Blasio recently said the following, I just want to read 518 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: this to you because this really goes to the center 519 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: of the idiocy and insanity of the left that believes 520 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: we're heading toward a progressive utopia in this country. Okay, 521 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: this is this is what Bill Deblasio said. Quote. What's 522 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: been hardest is the way our legal system is structured 523 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: to favor private property. I think people all over this 524 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: city of every background would like to have the city 525 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: government be able to determine which building goes where, how 526 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: high it will be, who gets to live in it, 527 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: what the rent will be. I think there's a socialistic 528 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: impulse which I hear every day in every kind of community, 529 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: that they would like things to be planned in accordance 530 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: with their need central planning. That's what he's talking about, 531 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: and I would too. Unfortunately, what stands in the way 532 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: of that is hundreds of years of history that have 533 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: elevated property rights and wealth to the point that that's 534 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: the reality that calls the tune on a lot of development. 535 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. I was down one day 536 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: on Varick Street close to Canal and there's a big 537 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,239 Speaker 1: sign in front of a condo saying unit start at 538 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: two million dollars, and that just drives people stark, raving 539 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: mad in this city because that kind of development is 540 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: not for everyday people. It's almost like it's being flaunted. Look, 541 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: if I had my druthers, the city government would determine 542 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,239 Speaker 1: every single plot of land how development would proceed, and 543 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: there would be very stringent requirements around income levels and rents. 544 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: That's a world I'd love to see. And I think, 545 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: I think what we have in this city at least 546 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: are people who would love to have the New Deal back. 547 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: On one level, they'd love to have a very very 548 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: powerful government, including a federal government that's directly involved in 549 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: addressing their day to day reality, very reachable right now, 550 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: and it leaves this friction and this anger. End quote. Now, 551 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: I read that whole thing to you, because that's essentially 552 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: Deblasio socialist manifesto. Here we have the mayor of the 553 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: largest city in the United States saying that the local 554 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: government should determine what gets built, what it looks like, 555 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: how big it is, who gets to live there, what 556 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: they pay. That's actually socialism. That's not even democratic socialism, 557 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: that's just socialism. He's saying this openly. This guy was 558 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: very tight with the Clintons by the way is a 559 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: very connected figure. Some people still think one day he 560 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: might run for president, But I mean his complete lack 561 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: of charm and charismo is probably an issue that didn't 562 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: that Barry Hillary tried it anyway. But he's going for 563 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: straight up socialism here, he really is. And here's the 564 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: really fun part about it. He's talking about how, oh 565 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: they're flaunting these new condominium You know what build a 566 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: Blasio's home is estimated to be worth in Brooklyn about 567 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: two million dollars. So you got a guy who lives 568 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 1: in a mansion paid for by the taxpayers, who owns 569 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,439 Speaker 1: privately a two million dollar home, who is going out 570 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: there lecturing the people of New York City and the 571 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: country as well in a sense on how government should 572 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: be able to determine what is built, where it is built, 573 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: who gets to live there, what they pay, what it costs, 574 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: what the landlords can charge, and we're supposed to take 575 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: him seriously. It is hard to tell if it is 576 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: ignorance of economics or just pure cynicism and demagoguery that 577 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: pushes this, but socialism is ascendant within the Democratic Party, 578 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: make no mistake about it. And whether they put a 579 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: kind of traditional Democrat Pelosi face on it, or they 580 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:02,479 Speaker 1: let Acasio Quartz and this new crop of leftists run 581 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: wild in the Congress. The Democratic Party is being overtaken 582 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: by the socialist impulse. It is happening right now in 583 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: this country. I am telling you, it is going on 584 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: before our very eyes, and we need to fight against this. 585 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: We need to push back, We need to win this argument. 586 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: Speaking of arguments, the one over immigration is just going 587 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: to get more and more tense because there's no legislation 588 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: that's going to fix any of this now. So now 589 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: it's just going to be a question of executive branch, courts, media, 590 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: public opinion. There will be no immigration legislation anytime soon, 591 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: and we've got big problems on the border that's coming up. 592 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: You've probably heard me talk about snippy dot com in 593 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: the past.

Should this 613 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,760 Speaker 1: caravan had been stopped at the Guatemala border, of course 614 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: I agree with that one hundred percent. You should have 615 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: to country, have it to be with all these people 616 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: because they have people, they have bad people, because they 617 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: don't belong here. They're just migrants. But he's like the 618 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 1: same in the same case, is like when Mexican migrants 619 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: going to the US. They're undocumented. You know of incidences 620 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: here in Tijuana and in other cities that some of 621 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: these people that are coming into these with these caravans 622 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: are coming in crimes. This is not about racism. We 623 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: don't dislike a certain group of people because they're from 624 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,240 Speaker 1: a country, one country or another. We are here because 625 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: our government has not taken control of these what we 626 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: call invasion. So the caravan has in part arrived in Tijuana. 627 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: Let's not forget that. In the immediate aftermath of the election, 628 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: we were being told that Trump was fearmongering over the caravan. 629 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: They'd never get there. Oh, there are a thousand miles away. 630 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: A thousand miles away. That was the big that was 631 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: the big talking point. Oh now they're there. You mean 632 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: buses and trains exist in Mexico. Oh what a shock. 633 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: So here we are with people gathering at the boarder, 634 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:07,360 Speaker 1: caravan gathering at the border trying to you know, find 635 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: a way to enter enter the United States en mass, right, 636 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: in a huge group, and you have people who are 637 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: protesting them in in a Tijuana saying that they don't 638 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: they do not wanted here. They're using much of the 639 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: same rhetoric that we have heard from conservatives in this country, 640 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: and the Libs, you can tell, don't really know how 641 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: to handle this because they're just so used to saying 642 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: you're a racist, stop being racist, that they're not used 643 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: to having to make an argument about this or to 644 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: deal with the facts of the case as they are 645 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: actually presented. So you know, that's what they're They're not 646 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: dealing with that component of it. They don't know really 647 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 1: what to say. Here's a Tijuana. I mean, we have 648 00:38:55,040 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: some great audio here of these protesters in Tijuana. Can 649 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: I say, I mean, didn't I say Tijuana. I'm just 650 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: so saying it that way. I know it's Tijuana, but 651 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: I want to say Tijuana. I want to Americanize it. 652 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: But the protesters who are saying that explicitly, I mean, 653 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: this guy's trans being translated for you by someone from 654 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: the Spanish. But that Trump was right. Play clip two 655 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: Donald Donald Trump. Well I know Donald Trump and I 656 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: know Verdad, which is true or right? Uh So Donald 657 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: Trump was right. This was an invasion. What Trump said 658 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: was true. This is an invasion. So the Mexican people 659 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: of Tijuana are not pleased, at least some of them. 660 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 1: I know, people can say, oh no, well, let's think 661 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 1: about this for a second. Folks, who would want a 662 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: mass of thousands of people that need to be fed, 663 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: need to be using you know, restroom facilities, need to 664 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: be clean and need to be kept orderly and safe 665 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: and all this other stuff. Would you want that just 666 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: showing up in your neighborhood? Why would anyone want this? 667 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I live here in the swamp in DC. 668 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: If a few thousand people descended upon, you know, my 669 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,760 Speaker 1: area of the swamp and we're living in the street, 670 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want that. Does that make me a bad person? 671 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: Does that make me racist? I don't even care what 672 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: race they are, right, I mean, I just I just 673 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't want anybody to be doing that. It's not safe, 674 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: it's not sanitary, and it's not orderly. And you know, 675 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: the human mind, especially when it comes to your neighborhood 676 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 1: and where you live, the human mind tends to crave 677 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 1: a certain degree of organization. It's one of the reasons 678 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 1: why we form ourselves into states and have governments. But 679 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: people are finally starting to look at this and say, well, 680 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 1: hold on a second, what does it mean if you 681 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: know the Mexican people are allowed to be opposed to 682 00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: Honduran caravans coming into into some parts of Mexico. Are 683 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: the American people allow take a similar position. I mean, 684 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: here's the mayor of Tijuan. Again, this is gonna be 685 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: in Spanish, but I've got the translation here for you. 686 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: This is the mayor of of Tijuana. Play three. I mean, 687 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: we're not shot avalanche and tsunami. You may have caught there. 688 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: So this is the mayor of Tijuana, says in Spanish. 689 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:31,919 Speaker 1: No city in the world is in favor of of this, 690 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: is prepared to deal with this. If I may it's 691 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 1: an avalanche, it's a tsunami. Um or sorry, no city 692 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: in the world is prepared to deal with this. It's 693 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,879 Speaker 1: an avalanche, it's a tsunami. Yeah, that's right. There are 694 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: there are costs associated with dealing with this caravan. There, 695 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,399 Speaker 1: there's there are difficulties, there are hardships that people will 696 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: have to endure because of this caravan, and and they 697 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: don't have to want it. We are so used to 698 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: being shut down down in this country on any discussion 699 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: involving immigration, but we're just we're just beaten down with 700 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,359 Speaker 1: the rhetoric about how we're all racist, That's what it is. 701 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: Anybody doesn't matter what your skin, colorage, doesn't matter ethnicity, 702 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: if you don't want masses of illegal immigrants. And that's 703 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,320 Speaker 1: they keep saying, Oh, they're asylum seekers. The asylum seeking 704 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: is the scam to get them in the country. You know, 705 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 1: if if a thousand people were about to marry Americans 706 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: from across the border that they had never met, Okay, 707 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,399 Speaker 1: I wouldn't sit here and allow people refer to them 708 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: as green card holders. I would say they're engaged in 709 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: marriage fraud, because that's what they are trying to do. 710 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: These are overwhelmingly fraudulent claims of asylum that are and 711 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: everybody knows it, and everybody knows it. And the caravan 712 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: is a real problem. The caravan's a real issue. And 713 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: you know, last week we had all was and Fox News, 714 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,359 Speaker 1: I mean all these other news outlets were trashing conservatives, 715 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: trashing conservative media because they said that this was all 716 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:06,280 Speaker 1: jinned up just for the election. Meanwhile, now we're actually 717 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,959 Speaker 1: looking at the problem and what are the Democrats offer. 718 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 1: If this caravan a two thousand can come in and 719 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: do this, why can't others? If this caravan can get 720 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: into the country. What about caravans from Brazil, from Venezuela, 721 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:27,959 Speaker 1: from Nicaragua under what, guys, can we stop anyone who 722 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 1: has a very simple series of lines to deliver in 723 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: the first lines of immigration enforcement, when they when they 724 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: are essentially being processed by a border patrol and immigration 725 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 1: and customs enforcement, and they say, I've got credible fear 726 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,399 Speaker 1: gangs want to hurt me, I'm fleeing violence. Anybody can 727 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 1: say that. Anybody can say that. And then what you 728 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: realize is, oh, hold on a second, you mean to 729 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 1: tell me that, you mean to tell me that there's 730 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: no way to stop these people from coming in to America, 731 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,720 Speaker 1: that that that seems like a problem for some folks. 732 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: That seems like a scam. And Democrats are in on 733 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: the scam. And this is what they do with the 734 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: leagual immigration. Oh by the way, we got a guy, 735 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 1: here's just another guy, a Mexican living in Tijuana, who 736 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: is talking about this caravan. Here's what he says. Play four. 737 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,359 Speaker 1: I'm not really in favor of them coming the way 738 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: they did. You know, to me, it feels like, um, 739 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:29,319 Speaker 1: they invaded and that was not the correct way. But 740 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,319 Speaker 1: I know all of them are not like that invaded. 741 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: He says, Oh my gosh, so that Mexican is so 742 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: racist against Hondurans. How could he? You know, I mean, 743 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,839 Speaker 1: I mean Mexicans being racist against Hondurans. I mean, at 744 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: what point? At what point do we realize this is? 745 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: This is just gone off into crazy town. But Democrats 746 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 1: do not They do not have a solution on this. 747 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: They do not have an answer on this. Their whole 748 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: thing is just like with socialism, the biggest thing socialism 749 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: has going forward is that it sounds good. The biggest 750 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 1: problem is that it doesn't work. Apply that logics and 751 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 1: Democrats immigration. The best thing about Democrats immigration is they 752 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,399 Speaker 1: sound like they're nice and caring. The problem is they 753 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: don't care. They're not being nice, and they're creating problems 754 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: for this country and for our rule of law and 755 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 1: our sovereignty, and they know none of that even factors 756 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: into their thinking at all. I find this, Uh, you know, 757 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna continue to follow the story. I mean, 758 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: I find this very troubling. I'm very annoyed by it, 759 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 1: and I want more action from Republicans on this when 760 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,799 Speaker 1: they have to do a better job of making the case. 761 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 1: Trump's the only one I see out there. Where are 762 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the Republicans. Why aren't they sound the 763 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: alarm about this massive asylum scam. Well, you go to 764 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,359 Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit and it's a disgrace. And I'm gonna 765 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: put in a major complaint because you cannot win if 766 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: you're us a case in the Ninth Circuit. And I 767 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,719 Speaker 1: think it's a disgrace when people file every case gets 768 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: filed in the Ninth Circuit, because they know that's not law, 769 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: that's not what this country stands for. Every case that 770 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 1: gets filed in the Ninth Circuit, we get beaten and 771 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: then we end up having to go to the Supreme Court, 772 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 1: like the travel ban, and we won. This was an 773 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: Obama judge. And I'll tell you what, It's not gonna 774 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: happen like this anymore. Everybody that wants to sue the 775 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 1: United States, they file their case in almost they file 776 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: their case in the Ninth Circuit. And it means in 777 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 1: automatic laws, no matter what you do, no matter how 778 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 1: good your case is, And the Ninth Circuit is really 779 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 1: something we have to take a look at. Trump is 780 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,720 Speaker 1: completely correct here on the Ninth The Ninth Circuit and 781 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, you'll notice that the Libs and the activist 782 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,920 Speaker 1: judges on the Ninth Circuit are not in the least 783 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: bit chastened by the fact that they've already been slapped 784 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: down on a major issue dealing with immigration and presidential authority, 785 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 1: in this case, the travel ban. Trump was right, according 786 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court on the travel ban. So these 787 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: judges are just hashtag resistance. That's what's really going on. 788 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: These are Obama appointees who think that their judgment of 789 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 1: what the law should be is more important than what 790 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 1: the law says. So let me just give you I mean, 791 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,440 Speaker 1: here's some of the background of this one from the 792 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: New York Times. President Trump signed a proclamation on November 793 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: ninth that banned immigrants from applying for asylum if they 794 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 1: failed to make the request at a legal checkpoint. Only 795 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 1: those who entered the country through a port of entry 796 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,880 Speaker 1: would be eligible, he said, invoking national security powers to 797 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 1: protect the integrity of the United States borders. When in days, 798 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,959 Speaker 1: the administration submitted a rule to the Federal Register, letting 799 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 1: it go into effect immediately and without the customary period 800 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: for public comment. But the rule overhauled long standing asylum 801 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 1: laws that people fleeing persecution can seek safety. The United 802 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:06,520 Speaker 1: States advocacy groups I left wing, left wing packs, which 803 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,239 Speaker 1: is what the Southern Poverty Law Center and the a 804 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:12,480 Speaker 1: cl you have become soothe administration and the judge put 805 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 1: in this temporary stranding order. One Remember, all it takes 806 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: is one federal judge to now stop the president of 807 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:26,280 Speaker 1: the United States from exercising his constitutional authority as commander 808 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: in chief. That's the country we're living in now. They 809 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 1: tell us that there's tyranny. Meanwhile, you get any federal 810 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 1: judge anywhere in the country can say nope, Trump can't 811 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,000 Speaker 1: do that, and Trump has to go Okay, we know, 812 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 1: we gotta go to court and gotta go to the 813 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: little process. This is just stalling. This is bad faith 814 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,320 Speaker 1: law from the left, which is when these judges are leftist. 815 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,479 Speaker 1: That's what this is. Okay. Understand also what the Trump 816 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,360 Speaker 1: administration has said here and what the left is therefore saying. 817 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 1: All Trump has said is you cannot cross into the 818 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 1: country illegally and then say, oh yeah, I want asylum. 819 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: So because what really that means is that now you'll 820 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,319 Speaker 1: have people to get near the border and they just 821 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 1: wait until they think there's an opening, and then they 822 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: can cross into the country and then they're home free. 823 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 1: And if they get caught, instead of having to worry 824 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 1: about being immediately turned around and deported, they just claim asylum. 825 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: So it's like a get out of jail free card. 826 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 1: And what Trump has said is in order to protect 827 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: our national sovereignty at the border, he will not allow 828 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,120 Speaker 1: I mean, as executive policy will no longer allow people 829 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,879 Speaker 1: to claim what they call defensive asylum, meaning that once 830 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,880 Speaker 1: you're already caught, you say, well, I want to claim asylum. 831 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,040 Speaker 1: Now Trump is saying no, sorry, that doesn't work. That's 832 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:48,719 Speaker 1: not acceptable. And when you think about it, what the 833 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 1: Left is there for telling you is that they want 834 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: people to be able to come into the country however 835 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,719 Speaker 1: they want and abuse the system and claim asylum for 836 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 1: cases that they are not going to win. I mean, 837 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 1: over eighty percent to these aside these would be or 838 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:06,799 Speaker 1: these requesting these individuals requesting asylum, over eighty percent are 839 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 1: going to be rejected. Okay, they're going to be rejected. 840 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 1: And this is where the Democrats are being so dishonest 841 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,279 Speaker 1: because at that point, once they're rejected, they're in the 842 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 1: country illegally. So these are all soon to be These 843 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 1: are illegals in waiting, folks, That's what we're talking about, 844 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 1: over eighty percent of them by the numbers of what 845 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,399 Speaker 1: we've seen in these recent Migaret waves. This is why 846 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,360 Speaker 1: I when I say that the Democrat Party has turned 847 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 1: into a party that turns a blind eye to illegal immigration, 848 00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 1: to a party that is openly advocating for illegal immigration, 849 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating. They want to make it as easy 850 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 1: as possible to be in this country illegally and to 851 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,839 Speaker 1: enter this country illegally, and they will pervert the law, 852 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,880 Speaker 1: they will turn the law upside down in order to 853 00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:01,760 Speaker 1: get there. Also, as I've been saying this, this notion 854 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 1: that these judges are in a position to just overrule 855 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,160 Speaker 1: to a temporary on a temporary basis, but overall executive authority, 856 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this is just it's just nonsense. It just 857 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 1: goes to show you that there is such an anti 858 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 1: Trump strain in this country right now that you have 859 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 1: judges who don't have the respect for the law or 860 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,840 Speaker 1: for the powers that they hold to understand that Trump, 861 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,399 Speaker 1: as the commander in chief and under a duly pass 862 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:36,879 Speaker 1: congressional statute, has the authority to exempt illegal aliens from 863 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,880 Speaker 1: entering the country for any reason that he deems in 864 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: the national interest. That is the law that the travel 865 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 1: ban was upheld under. In part. That law certainly applies here. 866 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 1: So if Trump says, you know we're at we're at 867 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,760 Speaker 1: war with Iran, or you know we're war with any country, 868 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:59,040 Speaker 1: therefore illegal aliens or not illegal aliens, just aliens from Iran, 869 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 1: non citizen non residents from Iran cannot enter the United States. 870 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:08,399 Speaker 1: He has the constitutional authority to do that. This also 871 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,919 Speaker 1: brings us to how the left really does seem to 872 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:17,239 Speaker 1: believe that foreigners have constitutional rights full constitutional rights as well, 873 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 1: and just just go down the line. Not only they 874 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 1: think that foreigners should be able to essentially sue to 875 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 1: come into the United States against the express wishes of 876 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 1: the executive branch through the President, but they if they 877 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 1: had their way, I think they would let foreigners vote 878 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 1: in our elections too. There's no moral, principled outragemal left 879 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 1: over illegal aliens voting in our elections. They just say 880 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, But they're not saying if it did happen, 881 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,680 Speaker 1: it's like really bad. They wish it could happen, but 882 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean, this is here's a perfect example of the 883 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,880 Speaker 1: crap that we have to deal with. Senior supervising attorney 884 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 1: at the Southern Poverty Law Center, Melissa Crowe says, quote, 885 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 1: this is a critical step in fighting back against President 886 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 1: Trump's war honest asylum seekers. End quote. That's just idiocy. 887 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 1: These are not legitimate asylum seekers. These are people who 888 00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,680 Speaker 1: are abusing asylum law getting ahead of other people who 889 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:18,319 Speaker 1: are really who are really trying to flee certain death 890 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 1: in their countries being targeted by their own governments. These 891 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 1: are economic migrants. These people want to be in America. 892 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,360 Speaker 1: We've got a big cozy welfare stake going to this country. Folks. 893 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 1: It's a good time to be in America. If you've 894 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 1: got no skills and don't speak English, it's not that 895 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 1: hard to be here now. It's easier than it's been 896 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 1: in a long time. So that's what we're talking about. 897 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,799 Speaker 1: I mean, under this woman from the Southern Property Law 898 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:49,760 Speaker 1: Centers description or under her conception of asylum, the entire 899 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:54,399 Speaker 1: country of Honduras qualifies for asylum, all of it. So 900 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 1: do we have to merge with Honduras now? And if 901 00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,880 Speaker 1: Honduras qualifies, why does in Mexico. Mexico has got a 902 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 1: tremendous violence problem, a lot of drugs, a lot of corruption. 903 00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,040 Speaker 1: So what is you know, where do we draw the 904 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,400 Speaker 1: line here? The answer is the left draws the line 905 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 1: the moment that it's no longer in their political interests 906 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:19,640 Speaker 1: and the greater the number of impoverished Third world non 907 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 1: English speaking immigrant the Left can pile into the United States, 908 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: in their mind, the better. It just means that they 909 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 1: have a greater chance of creating a one party state 910 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 1: in this country, which is the ultimate goal, which is 911 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,680 Speaker 1: why I'm telling you right now twenty twenty, it's all 912 00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:39,200 Speaker 1: about amnesty. If they can get the presidency and control 913 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 1: of the Senate, the first thing they're going to try 914 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 1: to do is ram through an amnesty, and that is 915 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 1: ballgame for conservatism. That is the end for those of 916 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 1: us who believe in limited government, rule of law, and constitutionalism. 917 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,880 Speaker 1: We will be a different country then, So keep that 918 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:56,440 Speaker 1: in mind. I acknowledge there's a stock market correction, and 919 00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,799 Speaker 1: I don't like to see anybody lose any money all 920 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 1: any time, But these things happen, they come and go. 921 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm just saying the psychology and stocks has gone down 922 00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:10,839 Speaker 1: a bit. The economy is roaring. So Larry Cudlow is saying, look, 923 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:15,400 Speaker 1: don't don't everybody panic. Yeah, the stock market, and I 924 00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 1: can tell you this. I mean, if you've basically been 925 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,879 Speaker 1: looking at that the way the stock market's done since 926 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, if you've been invested since 927 00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,120 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, all of your gains, if 928 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,319 Speaker 1: you've been really just in the S ANDP and sort 929 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 1: of the you know, if you've been in some big 930 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:33,400 Speaker 1: mutual funds, the gains are gone. And if you've invested 931 00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:38,360 Speaker 1: in the main drivers of stock market growth in recent years, 932 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,120 Speaker 1: in terms of what they call the fang stocks, which 933 00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:46,800 Speaker 1: are Facebook, Apple, Netflix, and Google, if you've been heavily 934 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,360 Speaker 1: invested in that, you've gotten You've gotten your shirt handed 935 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 1: to you. I mean, it's been it's been rough last month. 936 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:54,359 Speaker 1: Now you could say, buck, I don't really care about 937 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 1: the stock market. This isn't financial show. And I said, 938 00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,399 Speaker 1: you know, I know, I understand that. But people look 939 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:04,120 Speaker 1: at this and they say, maybe maybe this is a 940 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 1: recession that's about to happen here, and there's there's concerns, 941 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,960 Speaker 1: there's concerns over that. Here's my problem is that I 942 00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,919 Speaker 1: think that the market we've been in a ten year 943 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:18,720 Speaker 1: bull market, and there's a lot of reason to believe 944 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 1: that a cyclical recession is going to happen in the 945 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 1: next year or two. And just as we saw with 946 00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 1: the way, the Democrats got incredibly lucky with Obama coming 947 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 1: on the scene right when you at the end of 948 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: eight years of Republican administration and a pretty rough recession 949 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,719 Speaker 1: hit right around the time that you're trying to see 950 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 1: John McCain take on Barack Obama, right, I mean, that 951 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,440 Speaker 1: was very good timing for a pretty radical left wing 952 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,040 Speaker 1: president to come on the scene and talk about, you know, 953 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 1: the redistribution of wealth and paying your fair share and 954 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,879 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Because people get scared and they want 955 00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,560 Speaker 1: that they want to believe the government's there for them, 956 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,600 Speaker 1: the government's going to help them, the government is the 957 00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,600 Speaker 1: backstop of all this stuff. And right now there's a 958 00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,080 Speaker 1: little bit of an increase in fear, and I worried 959 00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:10,040 Speaker 1: that the Trump administration is heading in for something of 960 00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,760 Speaker 1: a perfect storm here, where you're gonna have the House 961 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:18,240 Speaker 1: of Representatives is just going to turn into a Democrat 962 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,480 Speaker 1: opo machine. I mean, they're gonna just be doing all 963 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 1: these just like the Ivanka email stuff. They're gonna reach, 964 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna stretch, They're gonna come up with all kinds 965 00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: of nonsense, whatever they can then whatever they have to 966 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 1: try and justify their insane positions. But they're in enough, 967 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,800 Speaker 1: they have enough power and enough authority and certainly enough 968 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 1: amplification from the media that it is likely that they'll 969 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,200 Speaker 1: be able to get you know, the message out there 970 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: and get some tractionals and they're going to impeach the president. Now, 971 00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 1: impeaching the president when the economy is roaring and things 972 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 1: are going really well in the country overall, certainly economically, 973 00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:01,640 Speaker 1: impeaching the president seems like a petty part is in 974 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,479 Speaker 1: hatchet job. You know, it just seems Now. It doesn't 975 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,680 Speaker 1: mean Democrats won't do it. It just means that I 976 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,120 Speaker 1: don't think that that helps them going into twenty twenty 977 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,560 Speaker 1: in those critical states that they will need to win 978 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,640 Speaker 1: if they're gonna be Trump right, they Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, 979 00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,000 Speaker 1: you know the states. So you know, if that's what 980 00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 1: it's all gonna come down to, you know, then we 981 00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,960 Speaker 1: need to understand that an economy that's on the downswing, 982 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,720 Speaker 1: even if it's not really Trump's fault, is going to 983 00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,840 Speaker 1: add to the woes of this administration. And you're gonna 984 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,840 Speaker 1: see I do believe you're going to see a moment 985 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,160 Speaker 1: here where the Democrats are going to have an opening 986 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:48,320 Speaker 1: to really push for the democratic socialism also known as socialism. 987 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're really gonna push for that. 988 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 1: They're gonna say this whole Medicare for all things is 989 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,000 Speaker 1: going to gain more attraction, and they'll just a lot 990 00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 1: of people and tell them, oh, yeah, the big lie 991 00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 1: that I'm hearing on that all the time on Medicare 992 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:03,440 Speaker 1: for all is oh okay, fine, yeah, you'll have to 993 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 1: pay more in taxes, but you'll say it, you'll get 994 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,480 Speaker 1: more money back in savings on your healthcare. That's that's 995 00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:13,040 Speaker 1: a lie. This is the magic cake that feeds everybody 996 00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,680 Speaker 1: that never runs out, and that will make you fat 997 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:17,400 Speaker 1: no matter how much of it you eat. You know, 998 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 1: it's just not true. And government saving you money is 999 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,200 Speaker 1: to you know, through your healthcare after taking more money 1000 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:29,880 Speaker 1: from you in the form of taxes. That's just not true. 1001 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:34,080 Speaker 1: And I wish, I wish we could get people to 1002 00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,240 Speaker 1: really understand that. But the direction of the economy is 1003 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,680 Speaker 1: really going to affect a lot of the political conversation. 1004 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 1: And I think that there's my concern all along has 1005 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,640 Speaker 1: been Trump with a booming economy and a four percent 1006 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:53,000 Speaker 1: give or take unemployment rate is unstoppable, but unstoppable. But 1007 00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:57,520 Speaker 1: by the left, Trump with you know, the stock market 1008 00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,840 Speaker 1: taking a thirty percent dip from the high I and 1009 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:04,360 Speaker 1: people's four oh one k's getting crushed. Pension by the way, 1010 01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,280 Speaker 1: all the pension funds for those of you that are 1011 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:07,960 Speaker 1: like I don't care about four own ks. Wherever you 1012 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 1: live across the country, the pension fund where you are 1013 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 1: is most likely invested, and the long term pension outlays 1014 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,880 Speaker 1: all take into account that they got to make money 1015 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 1: by investing it, right, so to pay the pensions in 1016 01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:26,560 Speaker 1: in uh, you know punk satawni for the firefighters, they've 1017 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,520 Speaker 1: I don't know why punk Satanni came to mind, but 1018 01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 1: you know they've got to invest the pension money and 1019 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 1: have a compound at a certain expected growth rate. Otherwise, 1020 01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:37,680 Speaker 1: you know, they've got to raise tax on people because 1021 01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,680 Speaker 1: they're not gonna have the money. They're gonna have pension shortfalls. 1022 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 1: So I don't think that when when I talk about 1023 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 1: the market. The market affects a lot more than just oh, 1024 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,760 Speaker 1: like arm, oh, how's my portfolio doing? You know, let 1025 01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,760 Speaker 1: me just shine my monocle right now and put on 1026 01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 1: my top hat please. I wish, by the way, that 1027 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 1: sounds like fun, not the monocle in the top hat, 1028 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,600 Speaker 1: but having that kind of money. So but that's where Trump, 1029 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,880 Speaker 1: I think, comes much more vulnerable. And also look this 1030 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,240 Speaker 1: China issue. The Chinese stock markets down about twenty percent 1031 01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:09,680 Speaker 1: this year. China stock market's getting roughed up, and Trump 1032 01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:15,560 Speaker 1: has There's no two ways about it. Trump has retaliated 1033 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 1: people who am saying he's picked he picked a fight 1034 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,439 Speaker 1: and started a trade war with China. But he's really 1035 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,240 Speaker 1: just responding to an ongoing Chinese trade war. But he 1036 01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:27,360 Speaker 1: is responding to it, and the tensions are getting ratcheted 1037 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 1: up here as a result. Kudlu also spoke about this 1038 01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 1: play Cliff twelve. It's got to include IP theft, it's 1039 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,280 Speaker 1: got to include changes in ownership. It's got to stop 1040 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,200 Speaker 1: the force transfer of technology. It's got to go to 1041 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:44,040 Speaker 1: zero tariffs and zero non tariff barriers. It's got to 1042 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:48,400 Speaker 1: having forceability, it's got to have strict timetables. It has 1043 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:54,240 Speaker 1: to have, frankly, more than we've seen so far. He said, Look, 1044 01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,320 Speaker 1: we're not backing down with China. If China is willing 1045 01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,520 Speaker 1: to play ball like a responsible actor here, if the 1046 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:05,600 Speaker 1: Chinese government will stop the shenanigans and start acting like 1047 01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:11,200 Speaker 1: a normal, advanced, developed rule of law country in terms 1048 01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 1: of its trade relations, well then you know we can 1049 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,960 Speaker 1: come to some kind of an agreement. Now I've said 1050 01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,200 Speaker 1: this all along because you know, the conventional wisdom on 1051 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,320 Speaker 1: trade has been, you know, we're a free trade even 1052 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,080 Speaker 1: though that's really more of a talking point than it 1053 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 1: is a concept you can implement. But you know, we're 1054 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:32,000 Speaker 1: all about free trade. But if China is going to cheat, 1055 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:37,600 Speaker 1: then we need to exact or extract some punishment for 1056 01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:42,280 Speaker 1: their predatory trade practices. And as you mentioned in intellectual 1057 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:47,120 Speaker 1: property theft, there's more than just you know, them having 1058 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,920 Speaker 1: taxes on imports. Right, There's more than just tariffs to 1059 01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,600 Speaker 1: discuss here. There's a lot of other activity they're engaged in. 1060 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,560 Speaker 1: But this is only good if we win, right, This 1061 01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:02,520 Speaker 1: is only good if it works out. If this just 1062 01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:08,080 Speaker 1: results in continued back and forth and you know, economic 1063 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 1: dislocations and perhaps even global economic stagnation as a result 1064 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,240 Speaker 1: of the two largest economies in the world getting to 1065 01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,880 Speaker 1: some kind of, you know, a contest of wills here. 1066 01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 1: That's not good. So I've been willing to give the 1067 01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,560 Speaker 1: Trump administration the leeway to get this done. They still might, 1068 01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:26,680 Speaker 1: they'll probably. I'm sure if I could talk to Cutlow, 1069 01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:28,400 Speaker 1: and we interviewed him a few weeks ago at the Hill, 1070 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,440 Speaker 1: but I wasn't there for it. But next time I 1071 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,440 Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to Cudlow, you know, I'm 1072 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,280 Speaker 1: sure he would say that it's early, you know, and 1073 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,280 Speaker 1: that this is going to take. It's a process. But 1074 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 1: you know, the longer it takes, the more pain that 1075 01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,240 Speaker 1: we suffered through it, the less it would be a victory. Right, 1076 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 1: So we got to see what ends up happening here 1077 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,960 Speaker 1: with China. But the economy is key. If Trump is 1078 01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:50,840 Speaker 1: going to win in twenty twenty, we have to keep 1079 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,680 Speaker 1: this economy going strong. And the left knows that, and 1080 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 1: so they're willing to tank it. If they have to 1081 01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:01,880 Speaker 1: take off the shelf existing technologies, we could reduce carbon 1082 01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 1: emissions by let's say thirty without any Yeah, it's not 1083 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,080 Speaker 1: like we'd all have to go back to caves and 1084 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, live off you know, fire. We could have 1085 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 1: electricity and smartphones and all that stuff, which would buy 1086 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,800 Speaker 1: us probably another twenty thirty years for that technological breakthrough 1087 01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 1: that's necessary. The reason we don't do it is because 1088 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 1: we are still confused, blind shrouded with hate, anger, racism, 1089 01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:45,919 Speaker 1: mommy issues. Yeah, I mean you know we we we are, 1090 01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 1: we are fraught with stuff. Obama is not nearly as 1091 01:04:56,520 --> 01:05:00,960 Speaker 1: impressive all the issues as the media tended he was 1092 01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 1: for many, many years. Obama is somebody who has always 1093 01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,120 Speaker 1: been held up as having a much greater grasp of 1094 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,880 Speaker 1: the complexities of politics than than he does, or at 1095 01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:19,200 Speaker 1: least complexities of policy. And that's a perfect example. You know, 1096 01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 1: we have off the shelf technology that would reduce carbon 1097 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,760 Speaker 1: emissions by thirty percent, and the only reason we don't 1098 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 1: do it is mommy issues, racism. I can't you remember 1099 01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:33,560 Speaker 1: all this stuff that he's It was just like this long, 1100 01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:41,000 Speaker 1: this long string of of stupid non sequiturs, and I 1101 01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:44,440 Speaker 1: just I can't tell you with first of all, that 1102 01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,720 Speaker 1: Obama is still out there giving all these speeches and stuff. 1103 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,680 Speaker 1: You know, he's president for eight years. Maybe maybe just 1104 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,320 Speaker 1: like do some good charity work. You know, maybe we 1105 01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:57,320 Speaker 1: don't have to hear the most recent president acting as 1106 01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:01,320 Speaker 1: a partisan surrogate for the party in opposition to the 1107 01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:04,400 Speaker 1: current president. Right, maybe that would be nice, like what 1108 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,240 Speaker 1: George W. Bush did, for example. I know it's not required. 1109 01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it would be nice. It would be 1110 01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:14,840 Speaker 1: more respectful and gentlemanly, I think. But I know this 1111 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,720 Speaker 1: is not a time for gentlemanliness in politics, I suppose, 1112 01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,160 Speaker 1: at least not in the left's view, and honestly not 1113 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 1: on the rights either. It's pretty much a brawl. So 1114 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,480 Speaker 1: here Obama makes this comment, any people are laughing and 1115 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,320 Speaker 1: all it's so funny and all the things that he 1116 01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 1: says there, and this is just one example of an 1117 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,960 Speaker 1: obama Ism. But it sounds kind of wise and witty, 1118 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,280 Speaker 1: and oh, Obama, just tell us more. It's just garbage. 1119 01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 1: He doesn't know what the heck he's talking about, which 1120 01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 1: for a guy who was present for eight years, it's 1121 01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:45,800 Speaker 1: pretty remarkable. But the reason that we don't use those 1122 01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 1: off the shelf technologies is that they're really expensive. The 1123 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,160 Speaker 1: reason that we don't use renewable at the rates that 1124 01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,360 Speaker 1: the left wants us to that the green extremes believe 1125 01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 1: we should is because they are highly highly efficient still 1126 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:09,000 Speaker 1: and with the increasing availability of fossil fuels and the 1127 01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 1: better technology for getting at the fossil fuels as well 1128 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,680 Speaker 1: as the more efficient technology for using it things like 1129 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:21,280 Speaker 1: liquefied natural gas obviously fracking as part of the extraction process. 1130 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,760 Speaker 1: The idea that we're all of a sudden supposed to 1131 01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:30,560 Speaker 1: rely on wind, rely on solar, there's a lot this 1132 01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,280 Speaker 1: has been you know, solo has been the next big 1133 01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:34,400 Speaker 1: thing for the last forty years, and there's a reason 1134 01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 1: for that. But either the notion that Obama puts forward there, 1135 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,760 Speaker 1: I just think that's that this is of all the 1136 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,280 Speaker 1: things from the Obama era that he would do on 1137 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,760 Speaker 1: a regular basis, the way that he would go after 1138 01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,320 Speaker 1: he would create these straw men on the right and 1139 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 1: then just rip them apart as though he was doing 1140 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:56,280 Speaker 1: something really smart and really brave. That really bothered me. 1141 01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,480 Speaker 1: He never contends with the argument the other side, my 1142 01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:03,200 Speaker 1: argument against his whole I mean, never mind getting into 1143 01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,160 Speaker 1: the climate change is a threat to us thing, which 1144 01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,360 Speaker 1: is just that's just irrational. It's irrational. It's not a 1145 01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 1: threat to us. We're all going to be fine, Okay, 1146 01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,840 Speaker 1: people have gotten those all scared and they think that 1147 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,640 Speaker 1: he's talking about other people being scared and afraid and 1148 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:20,679 Speaker 1: mommy issues. But if there was a technology out there 1149 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,320 Speaker 1: that was cheaper and better and more efficient for us 1150 01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:24,960 Speaker 1: to use what it came to energy, doesn't he think 1151 01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,240 Speaker 1: that he'd be using it. I mean, this is the 1152 01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,680 Speaker 1: guy he will remember on tape before he ran for 1153 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:33,600 Speaker 1: president said you know, under my plan, electricity would skyrocket 1154 01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:37,559 Speaker 1: and price. He doesn't seem to understand that energy is 1155 01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:41,360 Speaker 1: the lifeblood of a modern economy and that when you 1156 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:46,759 Speaker 1: put unnecessary pressures upward pressures on the price of energy, 1157 01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,120 Speaker 1: you're hurting everything. You're making poor people pay more for 1158 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:52,599 Speaker 1: their food, You're poor people paying more for their heat, 1159 01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:58,240 Speaker 1: everybody's paying more for stuff. It's just not a good idea. 1160 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 1: But instead of recognizing and dealing with the truth here, 1161 01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:07,640 Speaker 1: and the truth being that there are very clear reasons 1162 01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,960 Speaker 1: why we have not gone to renewables the way that 1163 01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:11,680 Speaker 1: left wants us to do, and by the way, they've 1164 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,679 Speaker 1: thrown so much the way as subsidies. And you guys, remember, Celendra, 1165 01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,839 Speaker 1: that giant Obama era boondoggle, hundreds of millions of dollars 1166 01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,200 Speaker 1: in taxpayer guarantees to a solar company that was get 1167 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:26,479 Speaker 1: ready for it losing money on every transaction it did, 1168 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,320 Speaker 1: but it was gonna what make it up on volume. 1169 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:30,920 Speaker 1: That's like the old joke, we're losing money, but we're 1170 01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:32,920 Speaker 1: gonna make it up on volume. You know, we lose 1171 01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,720 Speaker 1: money on every unit, but the more we sell the oh, 1172 01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:37,880 Speaker 1: the more the more money you lose. Right, Celendra was 1173 01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:41,479 Speaker 1: selling at a loss, and that's how you can lose 1174 01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars running an energy company. And 1175 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:50,160 Speaker 1: whatever was twenty eleven. And I just think it's interesting that, 1176 01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,680 Speaker 1: you know, they can actually deal with the argument from 1177 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,720 Speaker 1: our side, which is by the way, we are decarbonizing 1178 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,439 Speaker 1: as a globe and as a society. If you look 1179 01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,599 Speaker 1: at the history free of energy, but if one actually 1180 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,920 Speaker 1: took the time as I have to read about the 1181 01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,840 Speaker 1: history of fossil fuel exploration and how energy has powered 1182 01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,040 Speaker 1: economies in the modern era, what you find out is 1183 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 1: that we've gone from highly carbon intensive, highly inefficient sources 1184 01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 1: of fuel burning wood burning, whale fat, you know, you know, 1185 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:27,320 Speaker 1: you go through you know, kerosene and and then coal 1186 01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:31,040 Speaker 1: and then gas, and now we're at liquefied natural gas. 1187 01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:34,280 Speaker 1: I mean, we're getting cleaner as we or just natural 1188 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:37,000 Speaker 1: gas in general, cleaner as we go along in terms 1189 01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:42,800 Speaker 1: of emissions and more efficiency and greater abundancy. And this 1190 01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,120 Speaker 1: is something that should be celebrated. But instead, you know, 1191 01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,960 Speaker 1: you get Obama making a snarky comment and he's he's 1192 01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,439 Speaker 1: just parading ignorance on this. It's just not true that 1193 01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:55,320 Speaker 1: there is feasible technology to drop global carbon emissions by 1194 01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:59,519 Speaker 1: thirty percent that is cost effective that we could do, 1195 01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,360 Speaker 1: and that would buy us forty years of you know, 1196 01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:06,240 Speaker 1: leeway for other technologies to deal with climate change, which 1197 01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,479 Speaker 1: isn't even a threat we have to deal with. You. 1198 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:10,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I want to come back in another 1199 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:11,960 Speaker 1: life and have everybody treat me like I'm a genius 1200 01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:13,640 Speaker 1: when I don't know what I'm talking about. That that 1201 01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:16,880 Speaker 1: would be That would be really cool, you know, and 1202 01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:18,840 Speaker 1: no one ever is allowed to tell you otherwise, or 1203 01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,280 Speaker 1: else they're gonna be shouted down and everyone's gonna say 1204 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,639 Speaker 1: they're a terrible person. That would be nice. That means, 1205 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:26,479 Speaker 1: I mean, Obama had that for eight years. You just 1206 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,840 Speaker 1: say stuff, tell stuff that wasn't true, Say stuff that's 1207 01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:34,559 Speaker 1: just inaccurate, you know, share opinions as other fact. And 1208 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:36,720 Speaker 1: it was getting backstop by the media all the time. 1209 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:38,560 Speaker 1: And I see here, I just say to myself, and 1210 01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:42,000 Speaker 1: how do I get that gig where you're hailed as 1211 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,200 Speaker 1: a genius when in reality a lot of your ideas 1212 01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:50,639 Speaker 1: are either mediocre or subpar. But you know, he does, 1213 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,599 Speaker 1: he does sound convincing, I guess to lives and so 1214 01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:57,599 Speaker 1: that's that's really all it takes.

What were the sights and 1234 01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:08,840 Speaker 1: sounds and how how was it to be there trying 1235 01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:13,160 Speaker 1: to assist the Iraqis in taking back their country after 1236 01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:16,080 Speaker 1: the rise of Isis. We have an author who can 1237 01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:19,360 Speaker 1: tell us all about this. Ephraim Mattas is with us now. 1238 01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:23,200 Speaker 1: He is the author of City of Death Humanitarian Warriors 1239 01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,559 Speaker 1: in the Battle of Mosel, which you can get Nowlason. 1240 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:30,120 Speaker 1: It's out in bookstores as well. He's a former Navy seal. Ephram, 1241 01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:33,240 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. Thanks for having me. 1242 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:38,080 Speaker 1: Buck appreciate it. So, man, tell me, you come out 1243 01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:39,759 Speaker 1: of the Navy, you come out of the Navy seals 1244 01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:42,599 Speaker 1: and you decide that you're going to join a very 1245 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:47,720 Speaker 1: very special unit fighting the Islamic State in northwestern Iraq. Well, 1246 01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:51,280 Speaker 1: what happened here? How'd you do this? Well so, actually, 1247 01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,680 Speaker 1: so I left the Navy early last year, and my 1248 01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 1: thought was not necessarily to do the whole combat thing. 1249 01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:01,240 Speaker 1: That wasn't that wasn't my intention. My intention was to 1250 01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,479 Speaker 1: do humanitarian work. And the guys that I joined up with, 1251 01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:08,360 Speaker 1: I volunteered with, were the Free Burma Rangers, and they 1252 01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:12,280 Speaker 1: were working in northern Iraq doing humanitarian stuff and doing 1253 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,760 Speaker 1: medical things as well. They were armed, they were working 1254 01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:16,760 Speaker 1: with the Iraqi Army, and I just figured it was 1255 01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:19,160 Speaker 1: a good place for me, as a former seal to 1256 01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 1: go and help and do some good in this world. 1257 01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:24,880 Speaker 1: And during that during that time, the Iraqi Army unit 1258 01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:27,479 Speaker 1: that we were attached to, who we would we would 1259 01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,479 Speaker 1: feed the civilians and help the civilians and treat treat 1260 01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,960 Speaker 1: the wounded. Every time they cleared a new village or 1261 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:37,360 Speaker 1: something like that. That same unit was ordered to attack 1262 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:41,240 Speaker 1: West Moosle And so what what went from a humanitarian mission, 1263 01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, ninety five percent of the time went to 1264 01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:46,360 Speaker 1: a full on you know, we basically transitioned into being 1265 01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:53,320 Speaker 1: full on combat medics for the assault into Mosul, and 1266 01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,880 Speaker 1: I mean that was some of the toughest fighting of 1267 01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:57,960 Speaker 1: the entire certainly in the Iraqi side of the of 1268 01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:01,639 Speaker 1: the equation of the entire fight against the Islamic State. 1269 01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,920 Speaker 1: What was it like being being with those near those 1270 01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:09,519 Speaker 1: Iraqi units and and being right there beside them as 1271 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:11,240 Speaker 1: they're going house to house door a door. I mean, 1272 01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,280 Speaker 1: what tell us about that? What I assume was a healthscape. 1273 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:16,920 Speaker 1: I've seen some video by the way of you, f Rahim, 1274 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,280 Speaker 1: when you're actually out there on the battlefield. I mean, 1275 01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:22,240 Speaker 1: actually there's a video of you online where you actually 1276 01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:23,840 Speaker 1: got wounded. So I mean you were right there in 1277 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:27,519 Speaker 1: the action. What was it like to see all this Well, 1278 01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, it was. It was really 1279 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 1: it was kind of surreal, right. So I talked about 1280 01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,680 Speaker 1: it in the book City of Death, where, um, you know, 1281 01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,639 Speaker 1: I leave the seals right this this elite unit, where 1282 01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:40,320 Speaker 1: one of the top you know, uh close quarter combat 1283 01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:44,000 Speaker 1: units in the world. Um, you know, incredibly elite, tight knit. 1284 01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,120 Speaker 1: We have everything is you know, we have standard tactics, 1285 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,040 Speaker 1: all this stuff, great equipment, and I go from that 1286 01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:53,920 Speaker 1: to just total chaos on the battlefield. Right. So what's 1287 01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:57,120 Speaker 1: it like working with the Iraqis they fight a war 1288 01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,720 Speaker 1: was very different than we do. Their soldiers are ten 1289 01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,880 Speaker 1: ten days on ten days off, none of them really 1290 01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:06,400 Speaker 1: have body armor on. UM. They only fight after, you know, 1291 01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:09,160 Speaker 1: their morning tea and then they usually break for dinner 1292 01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:11,280 Speaker 1: and then that's it, you know, and so they don't 1293 01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:14,519 Speaker 1: do any night fighting. It was a very very strange thing. 1294 01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:18,120 Speaker 1: They're in comparison to the US forces. They're very disorganized 1295 01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:20,120 Speaker 1: and all that. So it was very chaotic. It was 1296 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,599 Speaker 1: extremely chaotic, if you want to know what it was like. UM. 1297 01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:24,479 Speaker 1: But I will also say this though, two about the 1298 01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,400 Speaker 1: individual Iraqi soldiers. And this isn't necessarily an endorsement of 1299 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:31,400 Speaker 1: the Iraqi government, but the individual Iraqi soldiers were incredibly brave. 1300 01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:33,639 Speaker 1: I was. I was actually very surprised to see that 1301 01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,639 Speaker 1: these guys were were we were laying down their lives 1302 01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,840 Speaker 1: to rescue um. You know, Sunni Muslims, and most of 1303 01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,040 Speaker 1: the guys in the in the that we were working 1304 01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,200 Speaker 1: with were Shia, and they were They were incredibly kind 1305 01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:49,439 Speaker 1: to the civilians. They were even kind to their ISIS captors. 1306 01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:52,639 Speaker 1: I never saw any We saw lots of ISIS prisoners, 1307 01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 1: but I never saw any um mistreatment of those guys. 1308 01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,880 Speaker 1: And it was it was quite an interesting experience living 1309 01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:02,960 Speaker 1: in working directly with the iraqis holding security with them 1310 01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,519 Speaker 1: at night, holding the line with them when ICE's counterattacks. Um, 1311 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 1: and I talked about all that stuff in the book 1312 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:10,880 Speaker 1: The City of Death, and they're just really really really 1313 01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,000 Speaker 1: great human beings honestly, and I'm not saying that casually 1314 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,400 Speaker 1: sounds cliche, but they truly are, Like they're really Um yeah, 1315 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,120 Speaker 1: I mean, how did they How do they receive you? 1316 01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean I'm assuming they must have been pretty darn 1317 01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,720 Speaker 1: grateful that somebody, especially with your skill set, shows up 1318 01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:26,360 Speaker 1: and it's like, I'm gonna I'm gonna help you take 1319 01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:28,439 Speaker 1: back your country just because I think it's the right 1320 01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:33,280 Speaker 1: thing to do. Yeah. Absolutely, these guys were incredibly gracious. Um, 1321 01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,120 Speaker 1: they were. It was It was funny when I first 1322 01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:38,400 Speaker 1: showed up, the other guys I'm on the Free Bremer 1323 01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:40,559 Speaker 1: Rangers team had already been there for a couple of months, 1324 01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:42,680 Speaker 1: and so I sort of showed up and the other 1325 01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:45,760 Speaker 1: guys on the on the team were former special a 1326 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,280 Speaker 1: couple of Special Forces guys and a couple of former Marines, 1327 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:52,120 Speaker 1: and so so when I showed up, I was still 1328 01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,360 Speaker 1: I was literally fresh out of the fresh out of 1329 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,600 Speaker 1: the seal teams. M I left and literally got a 1330 01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 1: flight directly and flew directly to Iraq. Like I was 1331 01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 1: still technic in the Navy, but I was on leave, 1332 01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,719 Speaker 1: on terminal leave when I went to Iraq. It's usually 1333 01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:07,280 Speaker 1: not what I think people do when they're on leave, 1334 01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:11,400 Speaker 1: but yeah, I go ahead, no no um. And so yeah, 1335 01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:13,240 Speaker 1: when I when I flew to Iraq, I when I 1336 01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:16,040 Speaker 1: started working with these guys, my guard was still very 1337 01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:17,800 Speaker 1: much up. You know, I always had my hand on 1338 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,559 Speaker 1: my rifle. I was always you know, kind of had 1339 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:24,040 Speaker 1: my standoffish and just I was thinking very tactically and 1340 01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:25,479 Speaker 1: I had to, like I had to really let my 1341 01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,559 Speaker 1: guard down and learn that I could trust these guys. 1342 01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:29,639 Speaker 1: And I talk about that in the book City of Death, 1343 01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:33,599 Speaker 1: where you know, I'm first mingling with these Iraqi soldiers 1344 01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 1: and they're they're so to answer your question, they were 1345 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,519 Speaker 1: a little bit standoffish at first because I was acting 1346 01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:42,000 Speaker 1: different and they didn't understand why I was acting all tactical, 1347 01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, so I had to kind of cool it 1348 01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:46,600 Speaker 1: and become a little bit more comfortable around them. But 1349 01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:50,760 Speaker 1: once that happened, they were incredibly gracious, incredibly kind to us. Um. 1350 01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:52,680 Speaker 1: You know, we didn't even speak the same language. But 1351 01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,240 Speaker 1: these guys would come hang out with us and like 1352 01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,479 Speaker 1: whatever room we were sleeping in, and they just come 1353 01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,000 Speaker 1: hang out and they're sitting there all talking in Arabic 1354 01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 1: and we're just sitting there talking in English and everybody's 1355 01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,880 Speaker 1: just laughing and having a good time. It was very 1356 01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:07,120 Speaker 1: quite quite the surreal experience. Yeah, what can you tell 1357 01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,400 Speaker 1: me about the about the enemy side of the equation? 1358 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,519 Speaker 1: I mean, what did you what did you see from 1359 01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:13,760 Speaker 1: them in terms of tactics, in terms of their their 1360 01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:17,600 Speaker 1: skill level on the battlefield, and also obviously the aftermath 1361 01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:20,599 Speaker 1: of the atrocities and the violence they committed against civilians. 1362 01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:22,040 Speaker 1: I mean, just you know, give us a picture of 1363 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,280 Speaker 1: what the other side of the battle feels like. Oh man, 1364 01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:28,280 Speaker 1: So I'll tell you what I thought to give you comparison. 1365 01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:32,080 Speaker 1: I fought the Taliban in Afghanistan, um and I'll tell 1366 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,439 Speaker 1: you what, man, this fighting ISIS was an entirely different animal, 1367 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:38,240 Speaker 1: not just because we didn't have air support and whatever else, 1368 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,760 Speaker 1: but the ISIS, the ISIS fighters were honestly, they were 1369 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:43,800 Speaker 1: they were good. They were really good. And by the 1370 01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,320 Speaker 1: time we were pushing into West Mosel, sort of at 1371 01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:48,559 Speaker 1: the end of the Caliphe. That was their last stand, 1372 01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 1: right that West Mosele was their Alamo. Um, you know, 1373 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:54,200 Speaker 1: all all the dumb ones were already dead, you know 1374 01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:56,679 Speaker 1: what I mean, like all the guys you know they 1375 01:19:56,760 --> 01:20:00,599 Speaker 1: were they had already been wiped out, and so it 1376 01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:04,320 Speaker 1: was extremely difficult to spot an ISIS fighter in the 1377 01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:07,000 Speaker 1: in the urban sprawl of what was going on. Um. 1378 01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:11,240 Speaker 1: I think I think I only saw one confirmed ISIS 1379 01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:14,680 Speaker 1: fighter who popped out and fired an RPG. Um. You know, 1380 01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,439 Speaker 1: And because they would hide, they would they had I 1381 01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:20,080 Speaker 1: think three years to prepare Mosle for this offensive, so 1382 01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:22,479 Speaker 1: you know, they'd be two three rooms deep in these 1383 01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:25,000 Speaker 1: buildings they had. They were shooting from all kinds of 1384 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:28,200 Speaker 1: hidden vantage points, and it was it was absolutely terrifying. 1385 01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,400 Speaker 1: And you know, of course they know what streets we 1386 01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:32,200 Speaker 1: have to go down, so those are all mined and 1387 01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,920 Speaker 1: booby trapped, and they'd use suicide bombers, car bombs, you 1388 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,519 Speaker 1: name it. And it was. It was insane. And a 1389 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:40,519 Speaker 1: couple of other things that were interesting about this fight 1390 01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:44,479 Speaker 1: were the Islamic State fighters that were there. One they 1391 01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:46,680 Speaker 1: knew it was the last battle, so they were not 1392 01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,320 Speaker 1: trying to say of ammunition and to a lot of 1393 01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:51,720 Speaker 1: the Islamic State fighters. This was a very interesting thing. 1394 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:53,759 Speaker 1: A lot of the bodies that we found of guys 1395 01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,879 Speaker 1: of Islamic State fighters that we killed during the assault, 1396 01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:00,200 Speaker 1: a lot of them were European guys. A lot of 1397 01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:04,200 Speaker 1: them were white, you know, Chechens and things like that. Yeah, 1398 01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:08,320 Speaker 1: and we'd find we'd find handbooks and korans and sniper 1399 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,479 Speaker 1: handbooks and stuff like that written in Russian. And the 1400 01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:15,000 Speaker 1: reason for that was because the other Islamic State fighters 1401 01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:18,240 Speaker 1: were trying to and some of them successfully did escape 1402 01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:21,320 Speaker 1: with the civilian crowds that were fleeing. You know, they 1403 01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 1: shaved their beard and they try to blend in as 1404 01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,000 Speaker 1: best they could with the crowds. The crowd a lot 1405 01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,960 Speaker 1: of times would point them out to us, but the 1406 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:29,479 Speaker 1: white guys were not able to They weren't able to 1407 01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,479 Speaker 1: do that. The white Islamic State flighters were not able 1408 01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:33,160 Speaker 1: to do that. So a lot of the guys that 1409 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,920 Speaker 1: we came across were um were those guys. And then 1410 01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:38,400 Speaker 1: they also again the final point is that they knew 1411 01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:39,760 Speaker 1: they were going to die. They knew they were going 1412 01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:41,639 Speaker 1: to die, and they knew they were going to be martyred. 1413 01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,400 Speaker 1: So no matter no matter what they did. You know, 1414 01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:46,880 Speaker 1: according to their beliefs, they were going to go to heaven, right, 1415 01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:50,280 Speaker 1: So that's why, you know, you'd mentioned the day that 1416 01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:53,160 Speaker 1: I got shot. You know, we were rescuing a girl 1417 01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,400 Speaker 1: and a man from a pile of rotting bodies or 1418 01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:58,639 Speaker 1: more than one hundred and fifty people have been slaughtered 1419 01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:01,519 Speaker 1: in the street right in front of ISIS headquarters there 1420 01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,880 Speaker 1: in West Mosle, and they were you know, the ISIS 1421 01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,639 Speaker 1: guys had no problem doing that because you know, they're 1422 01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:08,280 Speaker 1: going to be martyred and go to heaven anyway, and 1423 01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,320 Speaker 1: these people are apostates, so they are able to do that. 1424 01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,760 Speaker 1: So the level of cruelty was insane, but they're also 1425 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:18,280 Speaker 1: their sophistication was also incredible. One final point, they were 1426 01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:22,320 Speaker 1: also making their own ammunition, like RPG ammunition. They were 1427 01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:26,080 Speaker 1: making one time use rockets and like little factories in 1428 01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:28,479 Speaker 1: random buildings all throughout Mosile, which I didn't even think 1429 01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:30,720 Speaker 1: was possible, but they'd figured out how to do it, 1430 01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:34,639 Speaker 1: and they were doing it literally like factory made RPG 1431 01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:38,280 Speaker 1: rounds and launcher tubes and all this stuff, so incredibly sophisticated, 1432 01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:41,840 Speaker 1: incredibly ruthless, and it was an honor to be a 1433 01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:44,479 Speaker 1: part of dealing with it, because you know, this was 1434 01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:46,880 Speaker 1: this is my generation's Nazis. You know, like if you 1435 01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:49,280 Speaker 1: had been alive, if we had been alive during you know, 1436 01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,400 Speaker 1: World War Two, it would have been amazing to contribute 1437 01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:53,519 Speaker 1: to the downfall of the Nazis. Right, well, this is 1438 01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,920 Speaker 1: our generation's channel of the Islamic state is a death cult. 1439 01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:02,720 Speaker 1: It's a genocidal mass race being death cult. And yeah, 1440 01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,320 Speaker 1: well it's you know, and it's something that you know, 1441 01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:07,840 Speaker 1: I think that it's a good reminder for everybody out there. 1442 01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,240 Speaker 1: I mean, fram one question for you. I know you 1443 01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,479 Speaker 1: were a seal, I know you fought in Afghanisan when 1444 01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:15,719 Speaker 1: you're in the midst of this, and it's pretty incredible 1445 01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:19,479 Speaker 1: that there are videos of you in Mosul running to 1446 01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:22,000 Speaker 1: people who have been wounded. You got wounded yourself. You know, 1447 01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,040 Speaker 1: you've got what are you carrying in ak and you're 1448 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:25,800 Speaker 1: running around, You're doing all these things. You've got some 1449 01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:29,719 Speaker 1: Americans with, You've got some uh, some Iraqis in view. 1450 01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:32,920 Speaker 1: What do you I mean, are you just completely focused 1451 01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:34,400 Speaker 1: the task at hand? I mean, are do you ever 1452 01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,439 Speaker 1: break psychologically in a moment you just say, oh my gosh, 1453 01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:38,880 Speaker 1: what the heck am I doing here? And then go 1454 01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:43,439 Speaker 1: back into go back into your training or yes, that's 1455 01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:45,920 Speaker 1: an excellent question. So one of the things that I 1456 01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,560 Speaker 1: talk about in City of Death, and one of the 1457 01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:50,439 Speaker 1: things I wanted to make I didn't want this to 1458 01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,000 Speaker 1: be another Seal book, right, there's there's dozens of Seal 1459 01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:54,559 Speaker 1: books out there. I didn't want this to be that 1460 01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:56,200 Speaker 1: I talk a little bit about my time in the Seal, 1461 01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,720 Speaker 1: but I wanted this to be a very open and 1462 01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,200 Speaker 1: realistic portrait of what it's like to be in this fighting. 1463 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,679 Speaker 1: And So to answer your question, and I talked about 1464 01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,479 Speaker 1: it in the book City of Death, is Yes, absolutely 1465 01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:09,800 Speaker 1: there was times I completely lost my composure. On the 1466 01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:11,840 Speaker 1: first day of the assault into West Mosle, which I 1467 01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:14,080 Speaker 1: didn't even know we were assaulting into West Mosel that day. 1468 01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 1: I thought we were just kind of moving forward a 1469 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:19,400 Speaker 1: little bit. I literally broke down and started weeping as 1470 01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:21,120 Speaker 1: I held this little girl's hand who had been shot 1471 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:23,960 Speaker 1: in the face, and you know that the other medics 1472 01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:25,719 Speaker 1: were working on her, that the real medics are working 1473 01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:28,080 Speaker 1: on her, and there's nothing I could do to help her. 1474 01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:30,800 Speaker 1: I just held her hand and just was like I 1475 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:32,960 Speaker 1: just hope that she would survive. And I just began weeping. 1476 01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:36,120 Speaker 1: And I've never lost my composure before, you know, in combat. 1477 01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,880 Speaker 1: And then that same exact night, Isis counterattacked and we 1478 01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,080 Speaker 1: our position was hit with the seven or eight rockets 1479 01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,120 Speaker 1: are RPG like direct hits within a matter of ten minutes. 1480 01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:47,400 Speaker 1: It was insane the amount of firepower that was coming 1481 01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:49,960 Speaker 1: back at us. And yet we were all like, dude, 1482 01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 1: what are we doing here? We're potentially going to die tonight. 1483 01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:55,080 Speaker 1: And we all had to make that decision. And I 1484 01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:57,080 Speaker 1: know I certainly did. I really internalized it, and I 1485 01:24:57,120 --> 01:24:59,400 Speaker 1: was like, dude, I am I willing to die for 1486 01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:02,160 Speaker 1: these Iraqi people? Am I willing to die to hold 1487 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:04,080 Speaker 1: the line with the Iraqi army? You know? And these 1488 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:07,439 Speaker 1: guys aren't even you know, fighting back effectively. And yeah, 1489 01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:09,760 Speaker 1: there was a lot of introspection. There was a lot 1490 01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:11,720 Speaker 1: of I don't have to be here. I paid my 1491 01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,120 Speaker 1: own way to be there. I wasn't paid to be there, 1492 01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:15,559 Speaker 1: you know, I had to buy my own plane ticket. 1493 01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 1: And yeah, so there was a lot of introspection. And 1494 01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:20,880 Speaker 1: then the day that I was wounded, the day that 1495 01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:22,920 Speaker 1: we went on that mission, you know, we were talking 1496 01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:24,960 Speaker 1: about it before and afterwards. The guys that were on 1497 01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:29,120 Speaker 1: the mission, the former Special Forces guy's name is David Ubank, 1498 01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:30,960 Speaker 1: he's the founder of Free Brommer Rangers. And then my 1499 01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,840 Speaker 1: other buddy, Sky Barkley, former marine. You know, we've been 1500 01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,080 Speaker 1: talking before we went out into this mission. We were like, dude, 1501 01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,439 Speaker 1: we're going to die. You know, there was it was, 1502 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,479 Speaker 1: it was that bad. We were going directly into Isis territory. 1503 01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:45,920 Speaker 1: They had the high ground on the flanks, and luckily 1504 01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:49,880 Speaker 1: the US military commanders we called them, are that David 1505 01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:53,559 Speaker 1: Ubank called them, and they they agreed to give us 1506 01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:56,719 Speaker 1: a smoke screen. So they literally fired an artillery barrage 1507 01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,519 Speaker 1: smoke screen to kind of blind the enemy a little bit, 1508 01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:02,280 Speaker 1: and we ran behind it in a rocky Army tank 1509 01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:05,280 Speaker 1: straight into the straight into the fray. They started dropping 1510 01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:07,680 Speaker 1: mortars and opened up on us with machine guns and 1511 01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:09,559 Speaker 1: we were able to get you know, two people out. 1512 01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:11,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's a ton of introspection, um and I 1513 01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,360 Speaker 1: talk about it in detail in the book, and a 1514 01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:16,240 Speaker 1: lot of the feedback that people have been giving me 1515 01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:18,280 Speaker 1: from the book as they're like, thank you for being honest, 1516 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:21,320 Speaker 1: thank you for telling what it's really like being there, 1517 01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:23,120 Speaker 1: you know, because I don't. I don't. I don't. I'm 1518 01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:24,880 Speaker 1: not trying to be some big tough guy because I'm not. 1519 01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm really not. I'm just a normal human being who 1520 01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:31,200 Speaker 1: wants to who wants to help people. And yeah, so 1521 01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:34,960 Speaker 1: I discussed all those fears and all those all those doubts, 1522 01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:36,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of that was what the heck am 1523 01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:38,720 Speaker 1: I doing?

Nonetheless, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, 1553 01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:27,240 Speaker 1: I will be issuing both peas and carrots a presidential pardon. Unfortunately, 1554 01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:31,840 Speaker 1: I can't guarantee that your pardons won't be enjoined by 1555 01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:39,360 Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit always happens. They're guaranteed. It's kind of funny, right, 1556 01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:43,400 Speaker 1: It's kind of funny. You know. I gotta say, I 1557 01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:47,120 Speaker 1: don't really that's obviously from Trump pardoning the turkey today. 1558 01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:52,599 Speaker 1: The ceremony apparently goes back to the nineteen forties. And 1559 01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:55,479 Speaker 1: you know, it's been a thing for a while here, 1560 01:28:56,400 --> 01:29:02,840 Speaker 1: and during George HW. Bush's first Thanksgiving US president, there's 1561 01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:06,200 Speaker 1: been this tradition for the president to pardon the turkey. 1562 01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:09,400 Speaker 1: I don't what is hold on to say? Here we go. 1563 01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:13,360 Speaker 1: Here's the white House history dot org pardoning the Thanksgiving turkey. 1564 01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:15,920 Speaker 1: Here's what it says. The official pardnering of White House 1565 01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:19,000 Speaker 1: turkeys is an interesting White House tradition that has captured 1566 01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,799 Speaker 1: the imagination of the public. And I wouldn't go that far, buddy. 1567 01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:25,360 Speaker 1: In recent years, it's often stated that President Lincoln's eighteen 1568 01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:28,360 Speaker 1: sixty three clemency to a turkey, recorded in an eighteen 1569 01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:32,000 Speaker 1: sixty five dispatch by White House supporter Noah Brooks, was 1570 01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:36,000 Speaker 1: the origin for the pardoning ceremony. Reports of turkeys's gift 1571 01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,000 Speaker 1: to American presidents can be traced to the eighteen seventies, 1572 01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:44,000 Speaker 1: when Rhode Island poultry dealer Horace Vose began sending well 1573 01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:47,479 Speaker 1: fed birds to the White House. The first families did 1574 01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:50,599 Speaker 1: not always feast upon Voss turkeys, but the yearly offering 1575 01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:54,280 Speaker 1: gained his farm widespread publicity and became a veritable institution 1576 01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:58,200 Speaker 1: at the White House. At Thanksgiving nineteen thirteen at Turkey 1577 01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:01,120 Speaker 1: come Lately from Kentucky, a few minutes of fame with 1578 01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:05,160 Speaker 1: the fine feathered Rhode Islander. Soon after, in December, Horace 1579 01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:09,120 Speaker 1: Vos died, thus ending an era. By nineteen fourteen, the 1580 01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:11,679 Speaker 1: opportunity to give a turkey to a president was open 1581 01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:16,440 Speaker 1: to everyone, and poultry gifts were frequently touched with patriotism, partisanship, 1582 01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:20,439 Speaker 1: end glee. In nineteen twenty one, American Legion Post Front, Okay, etc. 1583 01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:24,280 Speaker 1: We got a lot more here. Recently, White House mythmakers 1584 01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:28,280 Speaker 1: claimed that President Truman began the tradition of partning a turkey. However, 1585 01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:33,920 Speaker 1: the Truman Library disputes this. Ninety nineteen forty eight Truman 1586 01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:37,160 Speaker 1: except the two turkeys coming handy for Christmas Dinner nineteen 1587 01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 1: eighty one. The practice of sending the presentation turkey to 1588 01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:45,439 Speaker 1: a farm became the norm under Ronald Reagan, the Turkey. 1589 01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:52,360 Speaker 1: Oh eight, CNN did what playclip thirteen? John President Trump 1590 01:30:52,439 --> 01:30:56,880 Speaker 1: pardoning the Thanksgiving Turkey, the annual tradition peas the name 1591 01:30:56,920 --> 01:31:00,720 Speaker 1: of this turkey, and just the most unusual potomy here 1592 01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:03,960 Speaker 1: as this comes on the heels of a statement that 1593 01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:07,600 Speaker 1: the President has put out essentially pardoning Saudi Arabia and 1594 01:31:07,720 --> 01:31:11,280 Speaker 1: the crown Prince and the king there, despite what his 1595 01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:14,880 Speaker 1: intel community is expected to put out in a report 1596 01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:19,040 Speaker 1: today that Saudi Arabia is behind that these leaders of 1597 01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:24,439 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia are behind the killing of a Washington Post journalist. Wow, 1598 01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:28,759 Speaker 1: what a forced transition there, Oh my gosh, the parting 1599 01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:36,360 Speaker 1: of the turkey kind of like the partnering of Saudi Arabia. Wow, CNN, 1600 01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:39,720 Speaker 1: you can do better than that. That is that was 1601 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:44,840 Speaker 1: really that was weak. That was weak. That's pretty funny. 1602 01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:47,960 Speaker 1: But that's the Trump's not allowed to do anything without 1603 01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:53,120 Speaker 1: it being an opening for criticism. Trump can't even pardon 1604 01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:56,280 Speaker 1: the turkey without the pardoning of the turkey being used 1605 01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:59,800 Speaker 1: against him, you know, the Emolument's clause or something with 1606 01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:03,320 Speaker 1: the turkey. That's what it is. Yeah, that's the ticket. 1607 01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,160 Speaker 1: Every year this topic comes up and I just don't 1608 01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:12,559 Speaker 1: understand why how to have a conversation with your angry 1609 01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:16,160 Speaker 1: uncle over Thanksgiving. That's what this New York Times piece 1610 01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:19,320 Speaker 1: is called. And I see variations of this year in 1611 01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:22,400 Speaker 1: and year out, you know. And here's what it says. Quote. 1612 01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:26,000 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is a beloved holiday because it's a time to 1613 01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:29,200 Speaker 1: gather with relatives from afar. It's a dreaded holiday for 1614 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,240 Speaker 1: the same reason. Many of us aren't accustomed to socializing 1615 01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:35,200 Speaker 1: with people who think differently from us, especially about politics. 1616 01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:38,400 Speaker 1: Our political attitudes and beliefs are intertwined with our most 1617 01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:42,240 Speaker 1: basic human needs, needs for safety, belonging, identity, self esteem, 1618 01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:46,280 Speaker 1: and purpose. And when they're threatened, we're biologically wired to 1619 01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:50,800 Speaker 1: respond as if we're in physical peril. No, no, false, 1620 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:53,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop right there. This is how liberals view things. 1621 01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:56,120 Speaker 1: This is not how conservative view things. I don't view 1622 01:32:56,160 --> 01:33:00,280 Speaker 1: my politics as essential to my safety, belonging, idea, entity, 1623 01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:03,880 Speaker 1: self esteem, and purpose, not at all. In fact, I 1624 01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,439 Speaker 1: view my politics says, hey, I think this is the 1625 01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:08,120 Speaker 1: best way to get this thing that we're all trying 1626 01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:09,800 Speaker 1: to get, or that I think we should all have, 1627 01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:14,240 Speaker 1: or that is, you know, intrinsic to human nature. But 1628 01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:16,800 Speaker 1: I'm open to debate it. I'm open to thinking about 1629 01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:19,760 Speaker 1: it another way. And honestly, you know my opinion. No 1630 01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:23,160 Speaker 1: one person's opinion matters all that much anyway. Past the gravy. 1631 01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:25,920 Speaker 1: That's kind of how I feel about this stuff. But 1632 01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:31,839 Speaker 1: they set up this angry uncle bot that that's supposed 1633 01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:35,000 Speaker 1: to be kind of like a training a training module 1634 01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:39,080 Speaker 1: for libs that have to deal with clearly with conservatives, right, 1635 01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:41,160 Speaker 1: because conservatives are the ones that are going to be difficult. 1636 01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:42,920 Speaker 1: Conservatives the one that they say are going to be 1637 01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:45,759 Speaker 1: a problem. So he writes, Hey, it's the angry uncle bot. 1638 01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:49,439 Speaker 1: I have lots of opinions, but what kind of uncle 1639 01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:50,800 Speaker 1: bot do you want to chat with? Then you have 1640 01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:54,080 Speaker 1: to reply, I'm more liberal, so I'll chat with conservative 1641 01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:56,519 Speaker 1: uncle bot. And I'm more conservatives, so I'll chat with 1642 01:33:56,520 --> 01:33:59,280 Speaker 1: liberal uncle bought. All right, So I click on I'm 1643 01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:02,040 Speaker 1: more liberal, so I'll chat just because I want to 1644 01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:05,040 Speaker 1: see what they say. Great. Let me tell you something. 1645 01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:08,919 Speaker 1: Trump has been great for America. Just look at the economy. 1646 01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:11,320 Speaker 1: It's booming. This is what the bot and you can 1647 01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:13,559 Speaker 1: click on this thing. Right, It's like a video game. 1648 01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:16,320 Speaker 1: It's like a choose your own adventure for politics. So 1649 01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:18,240 Speaker 1: look at the economy, it's booming, and then you have 1650 01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:20,639 Speaker 1: to click on how would you reply? Trump has been 1651 01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:23,800 Speaker 1: good for the rich? The jobs numbers are misleading, So 1652 01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:28,240 Speaker 1: how are you doing financially? You know, all annoying left 1653 01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:30,680 Speaker 1: wing things to say, let's go with John, what do 1654 01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:34,120 Speaker 1: you think? Let's go with the jobs numbers are misleading. 1655 01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:36,519 Speaker 1: I hear that one a lot, and then the response 1656 01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:40,320 Speaker 1: is you don't like them because Trump looks good hashtag 1657 01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:42,880 Speaker 1: fake news. And then the moderator comes in and says, 1658 01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:45,960 Speaker 1: this is not a good choice. This will turn the 1659 01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:49,240 Speaker 1: conversation into a debate over facts and figures. That's a 1660 01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:52,320 Speaker 1: problem because people tend not to be persuaded by contrary evidence. 1661 01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:56,000 Speaker 1: Try this response instead, so how are you doing financially? 1662 01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:59,519 Speaker 1: Good choice? The goal is to start a conversation. So basically, 1663 01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:02,360 Speaker 1: this is training folks. I know that there's a liberal 1664 01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:04,720 Speaker 1: version at a concertive version, but obviously people read the Times. 1665 01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:06,479 Speaker 1: They're all going to be a bunch of screaming libs. 1666 01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:09,400 Speaker 1: This is training that libs need for how to talk 1667 01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:12,280 Speaker 1: to conservatives in their family. And it's just so funny 1668 01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:15,200 Speaker 1: to me because I've had to talk to Libs. My 1669 01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:18,080 Speaker 1: whole life, all the time, all around me. The notion 1670 01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:20,759 Speaker 1: that as an adult who has political views and beliefs, 1671 01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:23,120 Speaker 1: I would need the New York Times. I get it 1672 01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:25,360 Speaker 1: too right. I mean, this is supposed to be kind 1673 01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:27,200 Speaker 1: of cute. It's little tongue in cheek. I'm not trying 1674 01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:31,559 Speaker 1: to be the Ebenezer Scrooge of Thanksgiving conversation here, although 1675 01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:35,280 Speaker 1: maybe I am. But it's just it just goes to 1676 01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:36,760 Speaker 1: show you, you know what the best thing to do 1677 01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:40,200 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving is just enjoy being around family and friends 1678 01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:44,320 Speaker 1: and just don't get into annoying, contentious topics. Just don't 1679 01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:48,360 Speaker 1: do it. It doesn't matter. You're not gonna win anything, 1680 01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:51,640 Speaker 1: You're not going to convince anyone of anything. It's just 1681 01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:55,320 Speaker 1: much less important. And I really do believe that Libs 1682 01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:59,519 Speaker 1: have a much stronger inclination on this. Libs are much 1683 01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:05,559 Speaker 1: more likely to just get way out of get their 1684 01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:10,000 Speaker 1: nose bent out of joint on this one, and freak 1685 01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:13,639 Speaker 1: out because they view to that intro the point made 1686 01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:16,320 Speaker 1: of the intro. They view politics as intrinsic to their 1687 01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:18,559 Speaker 1: being and who they are and all this other stuff, 1688 01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:21,759 Speaker 1: and it's just not really the case, you know, It's funny. 1689 01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:24,200 Speaker 1: I think in this current environment, you're probably better off 1690 01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:27,280 Speaker 1: talking about religion and religious belief than you are about Trump. 1691 01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:30,280 Speaker 1: It's more likely you could agree on is there a God? 1692 01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:33,679 Speaker 1: And you know what is the truest or the only 1693 01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:36,439 Speaker 1: true religion? Then you are to get people on the 1694 01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:39,920 Speaker 1: opposing side of the Trump discussion to talk about things 1695 01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:42,120 Speaker 1: in a in a civil fashion. You know, you don't 1696 01:36:42,120 --> 01:36:43,920 Speaker 1: want someone to throw the turkey drums to get you. 1697 01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:45,720 Speaker 1: Those things can be kind of big. You know, you 1698 01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:47,240 Speaker 1: don't want you don't want some kind of an incident. 1699 01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:49,800 Speaker 1: So you know how to have a conversation with your 1700 01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:52,080 Speaker 1: angry uncle. Why do they assume the uncle's angry? By 1701 01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:54,360 Speaker 1: the way, what about the aunt. I've got some very 1702 01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:57,639 Speaker 1: opinionated aunts. You know what. Why they got to assume 1703 01:36:57,680 --> 01:36:59,880 Speaker 1: if there's man's splaining going on, there could be woman's 1704 01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:03,800 Speaker 1: planing over that Thanksgiving turkey. I'm just I'm just checking 1705 01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:09,519 Speaker 1: all the boxes, my friends. Roll calls up next.

I've been living 1711 01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:46,240 Speaker 1: in the swamp for six months. Six months. I gotta 1712 01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:48,280 Speaker 1: tell you. I miss I miss my big apple. You know, 1713 01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:51,959 Speaker 1: home is home, and for me, home is that big, smelly, 1714 01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:57,439 Speaker 1: overpriced concrete jungle known as New York City. But DC, no, 1715 01:37:57,720 --> 01:38:00,320 Speaker 1: I miss home. But it's good for the work. I 1716 01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:03,080 Speaker 1: got to interact with all the swamp creatures and bring 1717 01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:06,400 Speaker 1: you additional insights and knowledge and things like that because 1718 01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:09,960 Speaker 1: I'm here, so that part of it's cool. I gosh, 1719 01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:12,479 Speaker 1: I'm so tired. I'm actually drinking drinking coffee at this 1720 01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:14,400 Speaker 1: stage of the game. That's probably a bad idea, now, 1721 01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:16,280 Speaker 1: no wonder, I can't sleep at night. But it's black 1722 01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:19,920 Speaker 1: rifle coffee.

Martin writes, can you 1746 01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:45,879 Speaker 1: verify is Wikipedia is telling the truth about you? Especially 1747 01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:50,719 Speaker 1: in the footnotes, it appears that Wikipedia is a takes 1748 01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:53,240 Speaker 1: a leftist slant of things written in it. Hittory will 1749 01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:58,040 Speaker 1: be kind to me for I shall rewrite it. Signed Wikipedia, Martineah, 1750 01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:02,800 Speaker 1: I've had left wingers, go try to delete my Wikipedia page. 1751 01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:06,400 Speaker 1: I've had them try to put things on there that 1752 01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:10,320 Speaker 1: are not true. This is the way that unfortunately, social 1753 01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:13,800 Speaker 1: justice left acts on this stuff. This is the way 1754 01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:18,800 Speaker 1: that they that they will, you know, they conduct themselves. 1755 01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:24,880 Speaker 1: So yep, uh yeah, that's that's pretty much it. Um 1756 01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:28,120 Speaker 1: So there you go.

I really have an honest 1763 01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:54,559 Speaker 1: disdain for these particularly for these progressive guys out there 1764 01:40:55,200 --> 01:41:01,640 Speaker 1: who are just so smarmy and nasty, bata male pajama 1765 01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:05,760 Speaker 1: boy cowards. You know that that's really the designation, that's 1766 01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:09,880 Speaker 1: what they are. And they all work at Huffington Post 1767 01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:13,120 Speaker 1: and move on, dot org and Slate and all these 1768 01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:18,080 Speaker 1: just talking points, memo, what's that other daily cos these 1769 01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:23,200 Speaker 1: just just steaming dung heaps of pseudo content that don't 1770 01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:25,840 Speaker 1: need to exist but they do for whatever reason. I 1771 01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:28,000 Speaker 1: just don't I just tend on to like those people. 1772 01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:29,639 Speaker 1: I mean, no, I'm sure there's some people there who 1773 01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:32,240 Speaker 1: are fine, but in general, I mean, in general, if 1774 01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:35,040 Speaker 1: you work for move on dot org or you work 1775 01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:38,160 Speaker 1: for Media Matters, you're probably not a very good person. 1776 01:41:38,920 --> 01:41:41,400 Speaker 1: Not not true all the time, but in general, it's 1777 01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:46,599 Speaker 1: it's a fair bet, especially Media Matters. Media Matters is 1778 01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:50,519 Speaker 1: a disgrace. But I could go on and on. So, yeah, 1779 01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:54,439 Speaker 1: Wikipedia did they They've deleted my page and people keep 1780 01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:56,280 Speaker 1: trying to put it. Hey, any of you listening, please 1781 01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:58,680 Speaker 1: go back and restore my Wikipedia page. How about that? 1782 01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:01,800 Speaker 1: It says thorough resourced as a lot of other Wikipedia 1783 01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:05,880 Speaker 1: pages that were out there. I've never written on it myself, obviously, 1784 01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:09,000 Speaker 1: but you know they've they've deleted it. So it's just 1785 01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:11,519 Speaker 1: such an annoyance. They just don't want people to be 1786 01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:13,800 Speaker 1: able to easily find me in my bio and background 1787 01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:17,439 Speaker 1: because they it's a form of deep platforming. They want 1788 01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:19,519 Speaker 1: a deep platform me on the Internet, and that's that's 1789 01:42:19,560 --> 01:42:23,000 Speaker 1: what they're doing. It's disgusting. I hate these clowns. Philip 1790 01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:25,040 Speaker 1: bright Shield, hie Buck, You've talked about this before, but 1791 01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:29,719 Speaker 1: with the recent mccraven comments, please visit wide. General flag 1792 01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:32,839 Speaker 1: officers tend to be social liberals. I have a few hunches. 1793 01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:35,320 Speaker 1: It starts with the service academies, which, in my experience, 1794 01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:38,840 Speaker 1: churned out the more liberal offers of my peer group 1795 01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:41,880 Speaker 1: a life of insular focus, and later fete it as 1796 01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:45,799 Speaker 1: royalty as they rise to flag rank. These senior officers 1797 01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:49,200 Speaker 1: have never lived or worked outside of a socialist environment. Therefore, 1798 01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:52,160 Speaker 1: while they're often great military minds, their whole personal experience 1799 01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:55,559 Speaker 1: is what of social prestige, Like an elite in any society, Philip, 1800 01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:58,360 Speaker 1: I think your analysis, and I'm guessing your military yourself. 1801 01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:02,519 Speaker 1: You're you're a military I can see if your bio 1802 01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:06,479 Speaker 1: your analysis is spot on. It's just that the nature 1803 01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:10,240 Speaker 1: of people that rise to the elite levels of the 1804 01:43:10,280 --> 01:43:13,640 Speaker 1: military command structure, not the elite levels. You know. When 1805 01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:16,920 Speaker 1: I think of elite military, I think of Jaysack. I 1806 01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:25,000 Speaker 1: think of Seals, Army Rangers, Delta, Special Forces, MARSAC, you know, 1807 01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:27,920 Speaker 1: Air Force, pjs, etc. I mean, that's when I think 1808 01:43:27,960 --> 01:43:30,320 Speaker 1: of elite military, That's what that's what comes to mind. 1809 01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:34,599 Speaker 1: But at the elite levels of the military command structure, Yeah, 1810 01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:37,120 Speaker 1: these are people that are much more like politicians than 1811 01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:40,240 Speaker 1: they are like warriors in many cases, and that's their day. 1812 01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:42,680 Speaker 1: Their day to day is much more similar to what 1813 01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:45,639 Speaker 1: you'd have as a congressman than what you'd have as 1814 01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:49,759 Speaker 1: a door kicker. So I do think that that affects 1815 01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:52,680 Speaker 1: their approach and certainly the perception they have of the 1816 01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:55,559 Speaker 1: world around them. And also I know that it's true 1817 01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:59,519 Speaker 1: on the intel analysts and civilian side. You know, you 1818 01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:03,720 Speaker 1: dident tend to need advanced degrees to impress the promotion 1819 01:44:03,800 --> 01:44:06,960 Speaker 1: boards of some of these places. And so when you 1820 01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:10,120 Speaker 1: get advanced degrees, there's a certain level of indoctrination that 1821 01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:13,080 Speaker 1: occurs because they're talking about social science advanced degrees, not 1822 01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:15,960 Speaker 1: like getting a PhD in math. Right, you're getting a 1823 01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:20,280 Speaker 1: degree in international relations, a degree in political science, or 1824 01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:23,360 Speaker 1: one of those things. And yeah, those are liberal strongholds. 1825 01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:26,920 Speaker 1: So there's a degree, and everybody's affected by this. Right, 1826 01:44:26,920 --> 01:44:28,800 Speaker 1: you want people around you to think you're smart, and 1827 01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:31,400 Speaker 1: you want to sound smart, so you end up saying 1828 01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:34,760 Speaker 1: the things that the smart people say. Now that all said, 1829 01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:37,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just speaking about bureaucracies and gentlemen. I 1830 01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:40,360 Speaker 1: have no experience. I've never been in the military. I 1831 01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:43,920 Speaker 1: have no experience of the military command structure myself, so 1832 01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:47,000 Speaker 1: you know your analysis, Philip is more astute on that 1833 01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:49,120 Speaker 1: than mine. I can tell you though that, you know, 1834 01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:50,880 Speaker 1: if you want to be CIA director, you got to 1835 01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:52,639 Speaker 1: kiss a lot of butt and you got to get 1836 01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:55,559 Speaker 1: advanced degrees, and that's pretty much it. You don't have 1837 01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:58,840 Speaker 1: to be some super intel officer. You really just have 1838 01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:01,960 Speaker 1: to be a politician. So as to the military side 1839 01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:04,360 Speaker 1: of it, I'll leave that to the many, many, many 1840 01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:07,000 Speaker 1: of you listening in this audience right now who are 1841 01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:11,040 Speaker 1: current or former military. One of the great points of 1842 01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:14,600 Speaker 1: pride in this show was what a huge and robust 1843 01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:19,799 Speaker 1: military listenership we have. Laurel writes, Hey, Buck, Laurel and Idaho. 1844 01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:23,280 Speaker 1: Here was it one of your sponsors, which is the 1845 01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:25,960 Speaker 1: free TV website app. I listened at work and don't 1846 01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:29,000 Speaker 1: always remember to write down the important stuff, lol, Laurel, 1847 01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:33,800 Speaker 1: free TV.

Pickles are an absolute necessity for a counterpoint 1860 01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:23,439 Speaker 1: to the red meat flavor. Go to five guys. I 1861 01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:26,320 Speaker 1: know Obama likes it too. Even a blind squirrel finds 1862 01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:28,680 Speaker 1: a nut and get a bacon cheeseburger all the way, 1863 01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:30,880 Speaker 1: it will change your life. Okay, Timothy, a few thinks here, 1864 01:46:31,080 --> 01:46:35,640 Speaker 1: all right. First of all, I love five guys, okay. 1865 01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,200 Speaker 1: Second of all, even though I can't eat the bun obviously. 1866 01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:40,840 Speaker 1: Second of all, I don't know why people are so 1867 01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:43,519 Speaker 1: dug in on this pickle on burger thing. I mean, look, 1868 01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:47,559 Speaker 1: I understand that you've been propagandized too by the pickle 1869 01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:51,280 Speaker 1: industry for many, many years now. I understand that McDonald's 1870 01:46:51,479 --> 01:46:55,960 Speaker 1: unfortunately fell victim to the pickle on burger craze a 1871 01:46:56,040 --> 01:46:59,040 Speaker 1: long time ago. But it doesn't have to be that way. 1872 01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:02,719 Speaker 1: I'm showing you a glimpse of a brighter, better future 1873 01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:06,160 Speaker 1: where we don't have to have pickles on our burgers. 1874 01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:08,439 Speaker 1: We can have a pickle on the side of the plate, 1875 01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:11,080 Speaker 1: right next to your French fries, right next to your chips, 1876 01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:12,599 Speaker 1: you know, whatever it is you want to have there, 1877 01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:15,160 Speaker 1: right next to your Brussels sprouts. If you're like me 1878 01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:17,000 Speaker 1: and you try to eat brossel sprouts with every meal. 1879 01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:22,160 Speaker 1: That's just the way that it can be, Timothy, I'm 1880 01:47:22,200 --> 01:47:24,000 Speaker 1: trying to show you a glimpse of a brighter future. 1881 01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:27,240 Speaker 1: That's it. Five Guys is excellent. Although my favorite of 1882 01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:31,160 Speaker 1: the fast food burger chains is In and Out Burger 1883 01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:33,439 Speaker 1: In and Out. It's my number one, even though the 1884 01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:35,599 Speaker 1: fries at In and Out are not that good, John, 1885 01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:37,720 Speaker 1: have you had the Have you had the fries in 1886 01:47:37,720 --> 01:47:41,599 Speaker 1: and Out and five Guys? Five Guys fries are better, 1887 01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:46,040 Speaker 1: but In and Out Burger is is definitely, you know, 1888 01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:49,680 Speaker 1: definitely my favorite for the actual burger bah. John, you 1889 01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:53,599 Speaker 1: better be ready tomorrow. We're talking Thanksgiving food, Thanksgiving traditions. 1890 01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:56,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a whole, a whole shebang plan. You're 1891 01:47:56,040 --> 01:48:01,000 Speaker 1: ready for that action, add news. Buck, I'm out tomorrow. Wow, Wow, 1892 01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:03,920 Speaker 1: I'm I don't even know what to say. Now, Brandon 1893 01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:07,800 Speaker 1: will be here just leaving me. Yeah, Brandon, I don't know. 1894 01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:10,559 Speaker 1: Brandon doesn't get as excited about food. He gets excited 1895 01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:13,680 Speaker 1: about music, but food. He's not a foodie. That's all right. 1896 01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:17,519 Speaker 1: We'll talk to him about it anyway. Willie is next here. 1897 01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:20,040 Speaker 1: You're right, say hey, Buck, I live in SoCal, quite 1898 01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:22,280 Speaker 1: a distance from the fires. The saddest part of the 1899 01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:24,560 Speaker 1: fiasco is the loss of life and the feeling that 1900 01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:26,639 Speaker 1: it could have been a much smaller tragedy if only 1901 01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:30,800 Speaker 1: common sense were used. Governor Brown blamed global warming not 1902 01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:33,559 Speaker 1: so long ago. He seemed rather quiet during Trump's visit. 1903 01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:36,120 Speaker 1: What worries me most? Do we need a tragedy before 1904 01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:39,080 Speaker 1: we realize sanctuary cities and state policies are as dangerous 1905 01:48:39,120 --> 01:48:42,280 Speaker 1: as fires? How the voter, how the veterans, or rather 1906 01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:44,600 Speaker 1: how the voters can vote for the demn stuns me. 1907 01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:46,960 Speaker 1: Thanks for your excellent program, Willie, Well, thank you, Willie. 1908 01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:49,720 Speaker 1: And let me tell everybody out there, please do send 1909 01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:52,040 Speaker 1: me your Thanksgiving thoughts for tomorrow. We'll try to get 1910 01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:54,080 Speaker 1: a lot of that in on the show, what's the 1911 01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:58,000 Speaker 1: best side dish on Thanksgiving Feast Day?
