WEBVTT - Destroying The Ivanka Lie

0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:18.080
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom hunt. The increasingly insane hashtag

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>resistance thinks that they can make comparisons between Ivanka's email

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>and Hillary's email debacle will destroy that lie and also

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>look at how one judge from that's right. The Ninth

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.559
<v Speaker 1>Circuit thinks that he can overrule the executive branch. And

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.919
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with the caravan in Tipuana Namore coming

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>up on the buck Sexton Show. This is the buck

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Sexton Show where the mission or mission is to decode

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:49.639
<v Speaker 1>what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America,

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 1>you're a great American again. The buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst,

0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>remember no, Welcome to the buck Sex and show. Everybody

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>great to have you with me. Thanksgiving week is upon us. Man,

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I can taste the turkey right now. I can almost

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>just imagine that gravy, just getting some of it, almost

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>shirt because I love that gravy so much. The gravy

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>is very important. By the way, do not skimp on

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the gravy. Make sure that you really bring your a game,

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>because you could have a great bird. You pour a

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>week sauce on a great bird doesn't really matter anymore.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Now now you got a mediocre bird. You don't want that. Now.

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 1>We've got some important issues to get into today, including

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with this caravan and Tijuana. In fighting

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>in the Democrat side of things, that's always fun. Look

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>at what the Democrats are doing to fight with each other.

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump finally released a statement on Kashogi, this Saudy dissident

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>who was a US permanent resident got brutally murdered, and

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a consulate and the Saudi consulate in Turkey, and it's down.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>We've got some updates on that for you and all

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the rest of it. But I mean, there's just one

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>story that I wanted to dive into today with all

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>of you that is really a reminder of what we

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 1>need to expect going forward, and that is that Ivanka

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump has come into the attention, the negative attention of

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the media for the first time in a while. They

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>usually stay away. You know, Ivanka doesn't really get involved

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>in the more contentious, at least publicly, the more contentious

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>political issues, but she used a personal email account to

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 1>send hundreds of emails about government business and in the

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>first year in office, and what you can imagine what

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>immediately happens here is the left goes into full on

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>freak out mode about how all see look at all

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the hypocrisy with the Hillary's emails. That was a big deal,

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 1>but this isn't a big deal with my friends, this

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 1>is pathetic. Okay, let me give you the details of

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>this so far, and I have to because unfortunately, this

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>is what we're going to be doing. We need to

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>get used to this. This is trench warfare, and that

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>means we're going to be playing a lot of political

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>defense the next two years. There's no way around it.

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I wish that I could come in here and we

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>could talk. We could talk more about policy that could

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 1>be enacted. I mean, we'll still talk policy, but I

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>mean policy that might actually get done and what the

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>best way is for the government to do it. Instead,

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>what we're gonna end up talking about is this and

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that completely bullcrap investigation of this administration figure, that administration

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>figure Trump's finances, what Trump had for breakfast five years

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 1>ago on the third Tuesday of the month. That's the

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuff the Democrats are going to spend all

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>their time on, and they're just gonna saturate the airwaves

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>with this stuff. I mean, this is the kind of thing.

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Where'll you'll see people who they don't care. I mean,

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>they will be gleeful even when some of these some

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>of these theories that they have and some of the

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>stuff does not pan out, because it's all about just

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>throwing more stuff at the other side. That it's based

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>on lies or that there's no evidence behind it doesn't

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 1>matter because it forces us to do what we're gonna

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>have to do right now from home, which is just

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>to play defense. Here's here's there's the story from the

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post today. Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails last

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 1>year to White House aids, cabin officials, and her assistants

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 1>using a personal account, many of them in violation of

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>federal records rules, according to people familiar with a White

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>House examination of her correspondence. White House ethics officials learned

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>of Trump's repeated use of a personal email while reviewing

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>emails gathered last fall by five cabint agencies to respond

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.119
<v Speaker 1>to a public records lawsuit. That review revealed that throughout

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>much of twenty seventeen, she often discussed or relate official

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>White House business using a private email account with a

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>domain that she shares with her husband, Jared Kushner. The

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.359
<v Speaker 1>discovery alarms some advisors or President Trump, who feared that

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>his daughter's practices bore similarities to the personal use email

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>use of Hillary Clinton, an issue he made a focus

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>of her twenty sixteen campaign. Uh, folks, folks, come on,

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>this is pathetic. All right, this is this is a joke.

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>This was during primarily during the transition. She was sending

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>emails about logistics and scheduling. You know, hey, guys, do

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 1>we have this meeting later today? Okay, So let's just

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.600
<v Speaker 1>knock down some of the because what they're saying is, oh,

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like Hillary, and people are calling for an investigation.

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>They're got to investigate this. The House has already said.

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.479
<v Speaker 1>You have Democrat members of the House saying that they're

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be looking into this, like this is an

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>issue that we need to care about. I mean, these

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>people are delusional, they are nuts. But that's what's that's

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>what's happening here. The big problem with Hillary's emails. Let's

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>just take a quick, a quick trip down memory lane

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 1>with Hillary. All right, The big problem was that there

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>was classified information in her private email server and in

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>exchanging over unclassified unclassified service. It means it's very easy

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 1>for especially a foreign intelligence adversary, to get access to

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that very very sensitive national security information. Every instance of

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>that classified being sent, received, you know, transmitted, held on

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:48.359
<v Speaker 1>an unsecure server is in fact a crime. Now the

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>statute does not get into intent, but you know people

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 1>interpreted it, people being Democrats who are at the top

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.840
<v Speaker 1>of the DOJ. But you know, people determined that they

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>would not prosecutor for. But that's a very serious issue.

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Hillary Clinton having not just one over a hundred confirmed

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>classified classified emails in that server, including Special Access program information,

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>which is very very sensitive stuff, is reckless beyond words,

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and even Coomy, even sank To Coomy, said that it

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>was extremely careless. There's no question what she did was egregious,

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>was reckless, was wrong, and was criminal. Okay, classified versus

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.679
<v Speaker 1>unclassified is a huge distinction here. There is absolutely nothing

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>to suggest that anything in Ivanka's private emails was classified. Now,

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>you could say to me, whoa buck, We don't know

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>unless we investigate, I say, okay. But you could also

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 1>say that about everything everyone's email. Do you have classified email?

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, we don't know. Maybe we should, maybe

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 1>we should look at it, Maybe we should supped to

0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>your email, right. I mean they could do this to

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>any any public figure, anyone who's ever had a security clearance.

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>They could just say, well, we won't know unless we check,

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and they just start pulling, pulling their information, pulling their data.

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>So on the most important level is classified. Hillary had it,

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Ivanka doesn't. That puts this in a completely different category

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>of discussion. Okay, And then you add in the other stuff.

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Ivanka didn't have a private server set up in her basement.

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>She used in email a private email domain for routine

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>logisticals in business. And by the way, it's completely legal

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>for her to do that. The only requirement under record

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>keeping laws is that she would forward those emails to

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 1>her government address so that they are part of record keeping. Okay, fine,

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>When you look at what has happened here, she hasn't

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 1>deleted any emails, unlike Hillary who deleted over you know,

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 1>there was one over thirty thousand deleted. She wasn't deleting them.

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 1>They're all in the server still. So all the records

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>have been kept, nothing has been hidden, nothing has been

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.679
<v Speaker 1>No one's used hammers on hard drives as they did

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.319
<v Speaker 1>with Hillary. No one has used bleach bit to try

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to digitally wipe all remnants of any information from the server,

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>as they did with Hillary, and no one was running

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>for president, or rather, Ivanka wasn't running for president running

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 1>around lying about the use of her server as Hillary did.

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.439
<v Speaker 1>So those are just off the top of my head,

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.559
<v Speaker 1>the ways that these are very different. But this is

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>what the left does, right. This is this is a

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 1>version of guy number one is a mass murderer, I

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>jaywalked earlier today. We are technically both criminals, that is true,

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Buck and mass murderer, both technically lawbreakers. One of them

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>is a jaywalker, one of them is. And I jaywalked

0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>like a madman. I mean I jaywalker. I'm in New York.

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I make a science of it. I make an art

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:07.680
<v Speaker 1>form of my jaywalking. So, you know, yes, technically true,

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 1>but dishonest on the merits and claiming that there's any

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>similarity between Ivanka's email situation and Hillary Clinton's as I mean,

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.120
<v Speaker 1>this was like front page News today. I mean, this

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 1>was a big all Morning Long and MSNBC, CNN, They're

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>all running these big stories about it. This is this

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 1>is an instance of they are they are creating a

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>narrative and they're chasing it, and now they're going to

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.079
<v Speaker 1>try it. They will use the media stories that are

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>out there to try to claim but there's greater interest

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.559
<v Speaker 1>in an official congressional investigation of Ivanka's emails. What they

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>really want is just to turn the heat up on Trump,

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>to go after Ivanka and Jared, get them under oath,

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>get them in public hearings. That's coming, And that's why

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm what I'm why I'm talking about this is, yes,

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>wanted to smash the lives from the left, but this

0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>is showing you their hand very early. The media is

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 1>going to create the narrative and then Congress is going

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to act on it. The Democrat majority House is going

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 1>to act on it with subpoenas and with hearings on

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>just endless amounts of nonsense. And so you can already

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>start to see this playing out a little bit. And

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna love the idea, absolutely love the idea of

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>getting Trump family members, Donald Trump, Junior, Ivanka, Jared Kushner,

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump confidants, you know, Kelly and Conway, put them under

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 1>oath as often as they can. See if they can

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.840
<v Speaker 1>embarrass them, see if they can get them in a

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>perjury trap. Just whatever that they can do. It will

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 1>be a campaign of endless harassment against Trump and all

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the people around Trump. And that's unfort you know, unfortunately,

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and enough Americans that believe the Democrat bullcrap to give

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>them control of the House. And now this is what

0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>we're heading for. People say, oh, well, now there'll be

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 1>an ability in government. It's not gonna be any accountability.

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>There certainly won't be any accountability for the clowns. They're

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna waste taxpayer time and dollars on what will be

0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>witch hunt investigation after witch hunt investigation that are just

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>meant to be the equivalent of MSNBC style anti Trump

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>monologues given from the floor of Congress, Ivanka's emails, just

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 1>like Hillary's emails. That's a live but they'll keep going

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 1>with this. This is also why whenever these people want

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to lecture me or you on Trump's decorum or you know,

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 1>maintaining decency in our politics, I'd say these people play dirtier, nastier,

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and more dishonest than anybody else could ever imagine. So

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't really need to hear it from the Schumer Pelosi,

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Maxine Waters axis about how we should all be acting

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and how Trump is so beyond the pale, and you know,

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>it's so discrediting the way that he tweets and all

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. This is what we're heading for. I mean,

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to try to find ways for us to

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 1>focus in on what really matters on the policy debates

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and discussions. But Democrats are just going to They're just

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>going to turn this into as much of a food

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>fight as they can. And they don't care how, they

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 1>don't care how dirty they get, because they're already filthy.

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.079
<v Speaker 1>Ivanka's emails are nothing like hillaries, and nothing about Ivanka

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 1>is anything like Hillary. So there's that at least about

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 1>their situations. Eight four four two five eight four four

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.319
<v Speaker 1>nine hundred buck. We will be right back team. I'm

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 1>thrilled to announce my support for this bipartisan bill that

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 1>will make our community safer and give former inmates a

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 1>second chance at life after they have served their time.

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>So important, and we're all better off when former inmates

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:57.319
<v Speaker 1>can receive and re enter society is law abiding, productive citizens,

0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and thanks to our booming economy, they now have a

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>chance at more opportunities than they've ever had before. This

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 1>is true, our economy is so strong that when people

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>are getting out of jail, they're actually able to find jobs.

0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>That's President Trump talking about this, this First Step Act

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and this effort at this bipartisan effort at criminal justice reform.

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Jared Cushner's very involved in Avengeance. I hire this just

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 1>because one it's an example of how conservatives and the

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 1>right get it basically no credit from the other side

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>when they do things that everyone kind of agrees or

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 1>at least well intentioned. You you may disagree with this

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>criminal reform bill, by the way, I know some conservatives

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>who do, but at least it is well intentioned. You

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 1>want to give people a second chance. You want to

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>be fair to them, people that you know, serve time

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 1>that are incarcerated or not non people because they made

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 1>a mistake, because you know, they've they've had a difficulty

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 1>making the right choice at different points in their lives.

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look within reason, right, I'm not talking about

0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 1>like mass murderers here. We're talking usually about people that

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>got them involved in drugs. I mean, drugs is the

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 1>prime you know, it is the prime mover in large

0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>scale incarceration in this country. And so the Trump is

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to do something here I mean, and they get

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 1>so little credit. There's no good faith from the other

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 1>side about what Trump will do or what he's willing

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 1>to I think by the way Pelosi gave him a

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>serious infrastructure package. I think he'd pushed Mitch McConnell, and

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I think he'd pushed the Republicans in the House as

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>well as in the Senate to try to do something

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 1>on it. I really do. But this is one of

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the very rare things. I know, it's we got the

0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 1>lame duck here, but this is one of the rare,

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 1>rare moments where he might actually see some legislative movement

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>before we get into just know, interractable political political warfare.

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>And I also want to note that while we got

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the other side always posing like the people that are

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 1>evidence based, and you know that the left Democrats, they

0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:00.280
<v Speaker 1>they've really internalized this notion that they're the one, you know,

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump is the crazy one, and they're just trying to

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 1>save the republic. Trump is the one that's disconnected from reality,

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>and they're the ones that are kind of standing, you know,

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 1>standing on the front lines of saving the republic or

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.920
<v Speaker 1>our democracy. They prefer that to republic whatever it is.

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I saw this. Yugov pulled it in from the Economist,

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and Yugov and I just I had to note this one.

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Sixty seven percent of Democrats believe it is definitely true

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 1>or probably true that Russia tampered with vote tallies in

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>order to get Donald Trump elected. Almost seven out of

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 1>ten Democrats pretty much believe not that Russia and Trump colluded.

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, that's a whole separate thing, that Russia

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 1>actually changed votes so that Trump would win the twenty

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 1>sixteen election. Not a single person, not a single publication,

0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>No one has provided one piece of evidence to support that.

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 1>You could say, as the left loves to all the time,

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:16.840
<v Speaker 1>without evidence, this allegation is entirely without evidence. Sixty seven

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.200
<v Speaker 1>percent of Democrats think that Putin was able to get

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 1>into air gapped voting machines and change. If Putin could

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.400
<v Speaker 1>do that, by the way, I mean you almost want

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to tip your hat to them. If the Russians are

0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 1>that skilled that nobody noticed. Boris oleg and Yuri like

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:40.879
<v Speaker 1>will judge the Volts. It will make the volta change.

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 1>But this, this is why I tell you we are

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 1>in a time of democratic mass delusion. They have convinced

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>themselves their media is convinced about things that are just

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 1>flatly untrue. They think that we're delusional, and I see that.

0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:57.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, look, I don't like all the Trump's tweets.

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't like everything that Trump does and says. I

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>don't agree with them all the time. And I know

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that there's some core stuff that he does and said,

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I just like his policies. I'm I'm not delusional about it. Yeah.

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 1>I think he tells FIBs sometimes to mess with the

0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 1>media or because he feels like it, but it's not

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:17.880
<v Speaker 1>important and I don't really care. Democrats actually believe the crazy.

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:19.760
<v Speaker 1>They don't think that that it's, you know, the cost

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 1>of doing business for their side. They believe things like

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Russia tampered with vote tallies. Strong majority of Democrats believe

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.880
<v Speaker 1>that according to this ball it's just nuts. Kaushogie. Trump's

0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.160
<v Speaker 1>got a statement on it. Left's going to freak out

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 1>about it. We got to get into that, so stay right,

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:42.440
<v Speaker 1>stay right there, team. I don't make deals with Saudi Arabia.

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't have money from Saudi Arabia. I have nothing

0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:48.119
<v Speaker 1>to do with Saudi Arabia. I couldn't care less and

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you. It is. Most of you know.

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.399
<v Speaker 1>Being president has cost me a fortune, and that's okay

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 1>with me. I knew that a long time ago. All

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I do is focus on this country and making great

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>deals for this country. I don't focus on making great

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 1>deals for myself because I don't care anymore. So Saudi

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.919
<v Speaker 1>Arabia has nothing to do with me. What does have

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to do with me is putting America first. Right now,

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.520
<v Speaker 1>we have oil prices in great shape. I'm not going

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to destroy the world economy and I'm not going to

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 1>destroy the economy for our country by being foolish with

0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:26.639
<v Speaker 1>Saudi Arabias. I think the statement was pretty obvious what

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, it's about America first. That's Trump in the

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 1>midst of what is now a media frenzy to almost

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 1>blame the president of the United States for the torture,

0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 1>murder and dismemberment of a Saudi dissident writer and kind

0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:52.080
<v Speaker 1>of pundit for the Washington Post opinion calumnist, and it's

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 1>it's really this is all a bash Trump operation now

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>because there's nothing because I've been saying all along, there's

0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.439
<v Speaker 1>nothing Trump can do that would that would placate critics

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.400
<v Speaker 1>on this issue. And the only things that he could

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.480
<v Speaker 1>do that would get close to play hitting them would

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.160
<v Speaker 1>be recklessly stupid for the president of the United States

0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.679
<v Speaker 1>to do under the circumstances. I mean, would just be

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:15.399
<v Speaker 1>completely unacceptably stupid. You know, what are we really gonna do.

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna try to go to the Are we gonna

0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 1>rendition the leader of Saudi Arabia, the Crown Prince mom

0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:22.919
<v Speaker 1>had been Salmon and take him to the Hague to

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.439
<v Speaker 1>stand trial. What under what authority are we going to

0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 1>punish him? We're gonna try to extradite the leader of

0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Saudi Arabia. You know, this isn't like the leader of

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Vanawatu or something. I mean, you know, they do have

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>real resources, a real military, and a lot of people.

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>So this is this is not going to be a simple,

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 1>straightforward thing for us to even if we were that crazy,

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.360
<v Speaker 1>which we're not. I'm just saying this the thing when

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you talk about when you talk about the options here,

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.679
<v Speaker 1>none of the options that people want Trump to pursue

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 1>are realistic. Okay, So he released a statement today from

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 1>the White House. I'm gonna read, well, read most of

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 1>it to you, because it'll go pretty quickly it's interally,

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 1>he writes, the world is a very dangerous place exclamation point.

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.159
<v Speaker 1>The country of Iran, as an example, is responsible for

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 1>a bloody proxy war against Saudi Arabia and Yemen, trying

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 1>to destabilize Iraq's fragile attempt at democracy. Supporting the terror

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.760
<v Speaker 1>group has belong lemonon propping up dictator Bashar Assad in

0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Syria who has killed millions of his own citizens, and

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>much more likewise, the Iranians have killed many Americans and

0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 1>other innocent people throughout the Middle East. On the other hand,

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Saudi Arabia would gladly withdraw from Yemen. If the Iranians

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 1>would agree to leave, they would immediately provide humanitarian assistance.

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 1>After my heavily negotiate a trip to Saudi Arabia last year,

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the Kingdom agreed to spend and invest four hundred and

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 1>fifty billion dollars in the United States. This is a

0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.720
<v Speaker 1>record amount of money. It will create hundreds of thousands

0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:53.200
<v Speaker 1>of jobs in tremendous economic development. Of the four hundred

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 1>and fifty billion, one hundred and ten billion will be

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.479
<v Speaker 1>spent on the purchase of military equipment from Boweing, Lockheed

0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Raytheon and many other defense contractors. If we foolishly canceled

0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 1>these contracts, Russia and China would be the enormous beneficiaries,

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 1>very happy to acquire all of this newfound business. It

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 1>would be a gift from them to the United States.

0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.320
<v Speaker 1>The crime against Jamal Kashogi was a terrible one and

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 1>one that our country does not condone. Indeed, we have

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.439
<v Speaker 1>taken strong action against those already known to have participated

0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.439
<v Speaker 1>in the murder. After great independent research, we now know

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:25.120
<v Speaker 1>many details of this horrible crime. We've already sanctioned seventeen

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:26.919
<v Speaker 1>Saudis known to have been involved in the murder of

0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:32.240
<v Speaker 1>mister Kashogi and the disposal of his body. Representatives of

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Saudi Arabia say that Kashogi was an enemy of the

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 1>state and a member of the Muslim brotherhood. But my

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 1>decision is in no way based on that. This is

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:42.400
<v Speaker 1>an unacceptable and horrible crime. King Salmon and Crown Prince

0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:45.119
<v Speaker 1>Mohammad been Salmon vigorously deny any knowledge of the planning

0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 1>or execution. Our intelligence agencies continue to access all information.

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:51.800
<v Speaker 1>But it could very well be that Crown Prince had

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 1>no knowledge of this tragic event. Maybe he did, Maybe

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:58.199
<v Speaker 1>he didn't. I understand their members of Congress who for

0:22:58.200 --> 0:22:59.919
<v Speaker 1>political reasons or others want to go in a different

0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 1>direction for me. They're free to do so. I intend

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.399
<v Speaker 1>to ensure that in a very dangerous world, America is

0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 1>pursuing its national interests and vigorously contesting countries that we

0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 1>should do his harm. Very simply. It is called America first.

0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 1>So I skipped some parts of that. I'm want to

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:18.080
<v Speaker 1>go too much detail in the radio, but I mean

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:20.160
<v Speaker 1>that you get you get the gist for sure. That's

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 1>most of it. So here's a Trump is saying, We've

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:28.000
<v Speaker 1>got important business with Saudi Arabia. We need Saudi Arabia

0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>as a counter terrorism partner, we need the saudiast to

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 1>be a buffer against Iranian expansionism and extremism throughout the

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Middle East. And we aren't about to go after the

0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:47.560
<v Speaker 1>leader of a country that we've been allied with for

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 1>a long time without having definitive proof of this. And

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:53.639
<v Speaker 1>for all the people saying, oh, the Washington Post report

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that the intelligence agencies, okay, yeah, the intelligent agencies also

0:23:56.640 --> 0:24:00.160
<v Speaker 1>thoughts of dominant weapons of mass destruction. Intelligence agency, These

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 1>aren't law enforcement organizations. They don't deal with beyond a

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.840
<v Speaker 1>reasonable doubt. They deal with what we think what is

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:10.119
<v Speaker 1>our best assessment. So I'm not saying you can you

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 1>disregard their assessment, but the best assessment isn't enough in

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 1>this case. There's not enough certainty to outweigh US interests

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.159
<v Speaker 1>in Saudi Arabia and dealing with the King of Saudi Arabia.

0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know, people are I understand a lot of

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>you listening, probably yeah, buck. Of course journalists are in

0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 1>full freak out mode over this though, because oh the

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 1>line is that Trump is soft on dictators, and Trump

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:39.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't care and even Trump is personally making making money

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:41.160
<v Speaker 1>off of this somehow. I mean, this is crazy play

0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:44.439
<v Speaker 1>clip fourteen. We're not going to give up hundreds of

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:48.320
<v Speaker 1>billions of dollars in orders and let Russia, China and

0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:51.199
<v Speaker 1>everybody else have them. If you look at Iran, just

0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:53.399
<v Speaker 1>take a look at Iran, and you look at what

0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:59.000
<v Speaker 1>they're doing. They are a terrorist nation right now. Although

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I must tell you they're a better right now than

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:03.920
<v Speaker 1>they were when I took off. As when I took off,

0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:06.200
<v Speaker 1>as they were heading in a very very bad direction,

0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 1>and at some point things very positive frankly could happen

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:14.159
<v Speaker 1>with Iran, but we also need a counterbalance and Israel

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:17.960
<v Speaker 1>needs help also. If we abandoned Saudi Arabia would be

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:21.560
<v Speaker 1>a terrible mistake. Presidents just saying it. We're not going

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 1>to abandon the Saudiast. It's not in it. It's not

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:26.760
<v Speaker 1>in our interests to abandon the Saudiast. We've got big

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:30.879
<v Speaker 1>deals to do with them. We've got big strategic interests

0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>in the region. And you know what, what the terrible

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 1>thing that happened to one guy is not enough to

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:41.680
<v Speaker 1>derail all us interests in this relationship. It's just it's

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:46.320
<v Speaker 1>just not are we really going to and by the way,

0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 1>really going to what? What do these journalists even want

0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:50.600
<v Speaker 1>to happen? And I know you know this, this is

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 1>from the beginning. This has been an opportunity and an

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:57.679
<v Speaker 1>opening for the media to bash Trump, to say that

0:25:57.680 --> 0:25:59.879
<v Speaker 1>he's too cozy with dictators. Any we got more comments

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 1>with me. Think you have to ask those people what

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 1>their motivation is. I think of the seventeen it's mostly

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:14.639
<v Speaker 1>like fourteen men who are on that letter. If in

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 1>fact there is any misogyny involved in it, it's their problem,

0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:24.280
<v Speaker 1>not mine. My main concerned was that there is no vision,

0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:28.359
<v Speaker 1>there is no common value, there is no goal that

0:26:28.520 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 1>is really articulated in this letter aside from we need

0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to change. And when you actually look at the signatories,

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:38.719
<v Speaker 1>it is not necessarily reflective of the diversity of the

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:42.639
<v Speaker 1>party we You know, after we have about sixteen signatories,

0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:47.399
<v Speaker 1>fourteen of them are male. There are very few people

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 1>of color in the caucus. There there's very few ideological diversity.

0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:54.680
<v Speaker 1>It's not like there are progressives that are signing on.

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:58.359
<v Speaker 1>It's not like you have a broad based coalition. So

0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:03.359
<v Speaker 1>I find you know, I don't. I'm not totally bought

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>into the concept. So there you have the kind of

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:12.280
<v Speaker 1>two standard bearers within the Democratic Congress right now, or

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:15.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, the soon to be Democrat majority House of Representatives.

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:19.680
<v Speaker 1>You've got Nancy Pelosi and on the one end, who

0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:25.639
<v Speaker 1>represents the ultimate establishment inside DC player I mean, Nancy

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Pelosi is the swamp personified. And then you've got Ocazio Cortez,

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 1>who is the not especially well read but somewhat telegenic

0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and charismatic progressive from Queens, who's the youngest I think

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:43.560
<v Speaker 1>we're the youngest member of Congress of all time, and

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 1>who just just you know, just wants like free stuff,

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.440
<v Speaker 1>like for everyone, man, I mean, just go for it.

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:51.119
<v Speaker 1>So that that there's a lot of that going on

0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 1>now too, there's this sort of new progressive surge into

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the Congress. But here's what I think is gonna happen.

0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:58.600
<v Speaker 1>They're all gonna fall in line beyond Pelosi. This talk

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of a Pelosi an anti Pelosi political insurgency when the

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Democrat it's just not going to happen because ultimately Democrats

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:10.639
<v Speaker 1>are very much unified on what matters to them, which

0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:15.719
<v Speaker 1>is enlarging the government control of people's lives, spending the

0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:19.200
<v Speaker 1>taxpayers money, and dictating as much of your life as

0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 1>they can. That's it' that's what they really want to do.

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Collectivism and statism. Those are the twin pillars of the

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:29.480
<v Speaker 1>modern Democratic Party. Sure, we can slice the onion a

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 1>little thinner into identity politics, transgender rights, abortion on demand,

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's all there's all those things too, But

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 1>at a at a macro thirty thousand foot philosophical level,

0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Democrats are about collectivism and stateism, big powerful government and

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 1>treat people like groups and have an elite, which would

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously be the Democrat Congress and the media. And others,

0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:56.560
<v Speaker 1>an elite that determines what the collective good is and

0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 1>that must be pursued at the expense of individual rights

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and individual property and all the rest of it. Right,

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:06.720
<v Speaker 1>that's a summary view of what they're trying to do.

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to accomplish. You know, they always act like

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:11.560
<v Speaker 1>they've got this big tent in big differences. You mean,

0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the big difference for the Democrats is do they go

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 1>for free college or just college that like the taxpayers

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:20.880
<v Speaker 1>are totally paying for. I mean, you know, it's really

0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:24.760
<v Speaker 1>all the same stuff from them. You really don't hear

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>where's the area of great ideological friction within For the Democrats,

0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:34.320
<v Speaker 1>it's always just a question of how quickly they can

0:29:34.360 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 1>get to the same place, which is socialism. I mean

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party now, is this the American Socialist Party?

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>They won't say that. It was really interesting, Actually, I

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 1>had a a progressive activist on Rising and I said,

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 1>do you think the Democrats are going to embrace because

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 1>he's he's he had a Warren something like Warren Warren

0:29:56.400 --> 0:30:00.200
<v Speaker 1>rocks pin on, like Elizabeth Warren is awesome. I know.

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 1>So there's some people who still think Elizabeth Warren's going

0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:04.240
<v Speaker 1>to run for something. And I said, do you think

0:30:04.240 --> 0:30:09.960
<v Speaker 1>that they'll just embrace the terminology, never mind the idea.

0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:12.800
<v Speaker 1>They've already embraced the ideology. But will they embrace the

0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:18.320
<v Speaker 1>terminology of democratic socialism? Will the Dems go full Democrats

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 1>socialist in twenty twenty? And he said, oh no, no, no,

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 1>of course not. Why not? Bernie Sanders says it, Okazio

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Cortez says it. I mean, these are the leading, the

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 1>leading figures in the Democratic Party now. I mean Nancy

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Pelosi doesn't say it quite yet. But you know, it's

0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:39.480
<v Speaker 1>also hard for somebody who's worth fifty million dollars to

0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:43.240
<v Speaker 1>act like she's really all that concerned with socialism, right,

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, or rather, lots of rich people are conservant socialism,

0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:50.760
<v Speaker 1>but they always end up falling into very hypocritical positions

0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>on that. Oh, like Bill de Blasio. By the way,

0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:59.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a perfect transition. Here's what Bill Deblasio said recons

0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:01.240
<v Speaker 1>and Billa Blasi. I remember he's a guy, hey, Billy

0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:04.120
<v Speaker 1>de Blasio, also known as Warren Wilhelm, that was his name.

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:06.920
<v Speaker 1>He changed his name as an adult. But but de

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Blasio recently said the following, I just want to read

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:15.240
<v Speaker 1>this to you because this really goes to the center

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:23.960
<v Speaker 1>of the idiocy and insanity of the left that believes

0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 1>we're heading toward a progressive utopia in this country. Okay,

0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:30.240
<v Speaker 1>this is this is what Bill Deblasio said. Quote. What's

0:31:30.240 --> 0:31:33.320
<v Speaker 1>been hardest is the way our legal system is structured

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:36.960
<v Speaker 1>to favor private property. I think people all over this

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 1>city of every background would like to have the city

0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:44.440
<v Speaker 1>government be able to determine which building goes where, how

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:46.960
<v Speaker 1>high it will be, who gets to live in it,

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 1>what the rent will be. I think there's a socialistic

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 1>impulse which I hear every day in every kind of community,

0:31:55.160 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 1>that they would like things to be planned in accordance

0:31:57.600 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 1>with their need central planning. That's what he's talking about,

0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:05.560
<v Speaker 1>and I would too. Unfortunately, what stands in the way

0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 1>of that is hundreds of years of history that have

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 1>elevated property rights and wealth to the point that that's

0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the reality that calls the tune on a lot of development.

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you an example. I was down one day

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 1>on Varick Street close to Canal and there's a big

0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:22.239
<v Speaker 1>sign in front of a condo saying unit start at

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:25.800
<v Speaker 1>two million dollars, and that just drives people stark, raving

0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:28.360
<v Speaker 1>mad in this city because that kind of development is

0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:32.560
<v Speaker 1>not for everyday people. It's almost like it's being flaunted. Look,

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:35.760
<v Speaker 1>if I had my druthers, the city government would determine

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:39.239
<v Speaker 1>every single plot of land how development would proceed, and

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:43.400
<v Speaker 1>there would be very stringent requirements around income levels and rents.

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>That's a world I'd love to see. And I think,

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I think what we have in this city at least

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:51.040
<v Speaker 1>are people who would love to have the New Deal back.

0:32:51.120 --> 0:32:53.600
<v Speaker 1>On one level, they'd love to have a very very

0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 1>powerful government, including a federal government that's directly involved in

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:01.240
<v Speaker 1>addressing their day to day reality, very reachable right now,

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and it leaves this friction and this anger. End quote. Now,

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I read that whole thing to you, because that's essentially

0:33:07.720 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Deblasio socialist manifesto. Here we have the mayor of the

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 1>largest city in the United States saying that the local

0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:20.160
<v Speaker 1>government should determine what gets built, what it looks like,

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:23.360
<v Speaker 1>how big it is, who gets to live there, what

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>they pay. That's actually socialism. That's not even democratic socialism,

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:34.800
<v Speaker 1>that's just socialism. He's saying this openly. This guy was

0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:36.880
<v Speaker 1>very tight with the Clintons by the way is a

0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 1>very connected figure. Some people still think one day he

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:41.960
<v Speaker 1>might run for president, But I mean his complete lack

0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:44.400
<v Speaker 1>of charm and charismo is probably an issue that didn't

0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>that Barry Hillary tried it anyway. But he's going for

0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:54.760
<v Speaker 1>straight up socialism here, he really is. And here's the

0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:58.000
<v Speaker 1>really fun part about it. He's talking about how, oh

0:33:58.040 --> 0:34:00.640
<v Speaker 1>they're flaunting these new condominium You know what build a

0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Blasio's home is estimated to be worth in Brooklyn about

0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 1>two million dollars. So you got a guy who lives

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:12.240
<v Speaker 1>in a mansion paid for by the taxpayers, who owns

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:16.439
<v Speaker 1>privately a two million dollar home, who is going out

0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:19.920
<v Speaker 1>there lecturing the people of New York City and the

0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:23.520
<v Speaker 1>country as well in a sense on how government should

0:34:23.520 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 1>be able to determine what is built, where it is built,

0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 1>who gets to live there, what they pay, what it costs,

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:33.279
<v Speaker 1>what the landlords can charge, and we're supposed to take

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:37.880
<v Speaker 1>him seriously. It is hard to tell if it is

0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 1>ignorance of economics or just pure cynicism and demagoguery that

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:48.440
<v Speaker 1>pushes this, but socialism is ascendant within the Democratic Party,

0:34:48.920 --> 0:34:52.200
<v Speaker 1>make no mistake about it. And whether they put a

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:57.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of traditional Democrat Pelosi face on it, or they

0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:02.479
<v Speaker 1>let Acasio Quartz and this new crop of leftists run

0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 1>wild in the Congress. The Democratic Party is being overtaken

0:35:07.360 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 1>by the socialist impulse. It is happening right now in

0:35:11.160 --> 0:35:14.000
<v Speaker 1>this country. I am telling you, it is going on

0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:18.120
<v Speaker 1>before our very eyes, and we need to fight against this.

0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:22.680
<v Speaker 1>We need to push back, We need to win this argument.

0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of arguments, the one over immigration is just going

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:30.640
<v Speaker 1>to get more and more tense because there's no legislation

0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:32.600
<v Speaker 1>that's going to fix any of this now. So now

0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:37.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just going to be a question of executive branch, courts, media,

0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 1>public opinion. There will be no immigration legislation anytime soon,

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 1>and we've got big problems on the border that's coming up.

0:35:44.560 --> 0:35:47.080
<v Speaker 1>You've probably heard me talk about snippy dot com in

0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:50.080

0:36:46.040 --> 0:36:49.760
<v Speaker 1>caravan had been stopped at the Guatemala border, of course

0:36:49.960 --> 0:36:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that one hundred percent. You should have

0:36:52.600 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 1>to country, have it to be with all these people

0:36:57.080 --> 0:37:00.480
<v Speaker 1>because they have people, they have bad people, because they

0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:03.120
<v Speaker 1>don't belong here. They're just migrants. But he's like the

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:06.760
<v Speaker 1>same in the same case, is like when Mexican migrants

0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 1>going to the US. They're undocumented. You know of incidences

0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:13.239
<v Speaker 1>here in Tijuana and in other cities that some of

0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:15.560
<v Speaker 1>these people that are coming into these with these caravans

0:37:15.800 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 1>are coming in crimes. This is not about racism. We

0:37:19.200 --> 0:37:21.560
<v Speaker 1>don't dislike a certain group of people because they're from

0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:25.240
<v Speaker 1>a country, one country or another. We are here because

0:37:25.239 --> 0:37:29.880
<v Speaker 1>our government has not taken control of these what we

0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:37.240
<v Speaker 1>call invasion. So the caravan has in part arrived in Tijuana.

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's not forget that. In the immediate aftermath of the election,

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:44.120
<v Speaker 1>we were being told that Trump was fearmongering over the caravan.

0:37:44.239 --> 0:37:46.920
<v Speaker 1>They'd never get there. Oh, there are a thousand miles away.

0:37:46.920 --> 0:37:49.239
<v Speaker 1>A thousand miles away. That was the big that was

0:37:49.280 --> 0:37:52.920
<v Speaker 1>the big talking point. Oh now they're there. You mean

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:57.040
<v Speaker 1>buses and trains exist in Mexico. Oh what a shock.

0:37:58.560 --> 0:38:02.160
<v Speaker 1>So here we are with people gathering at the boarder,

0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:07.360
<v Speaker 1>caravan gathering at the border trying to you know, find

0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:11.239
<v Speaker 1>a way to enter enter the United States en mass, right,

0:38:11.320 --> 0:38:15.400
<v Speaker 1>in a huge group, and you have people who are

0:38:15.800 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 1>protesting them in in a Tijuana saying that they don't

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:23.920
<v Speaker 1>they do not wanted here. They're using much of the

0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:28.080
<v Speaker 1>same rhetoric that we have heard from conservatives in this country,

0:38:29.040 --> 0:38:32.160
<v Speaker 1>and the Libs, you can tell, don't really know how

0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to handle this because they're just so used to saying

0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:41.080
<v Speaker 1>you're a racist, stop being racist, that they're not used

0:38:41.080 --> 0:38:42.759
<v Speaker 1>to having to make an argument about this or to

0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:44.520
<v Speaker 1>deal with the facts of the case as they are

0:38:44.520 --> 0:38:48.759
<v Speaker 1>actually presented. So you know, that's what they're They're not

0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:52.239
<v Speaker 1>dealing with that component of it. They don't know really

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:54.960
<v Speaker 1>what to say. Here's a Tijuana. I mean, we have

0:38:55.040 --> 0:39:00.239
<v Speaker 1>some great audio here of these protesters in Tijuana. Can

0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I say, I mean, didn't I say Tijuana. I'm just

0:39:02.239 --> 0:39:04.120
<v Speaker 1>so saying it that way. I know it's Tijuana, but

0:39:04.160 --> 0:39:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to say Tijuana. I want to Americanize it.

0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 1>But the protesters who are saying that explicitly, I mean,

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:14.480
<v Speaker 1>this guy's trans being translated for you by someone from

0:39:14.480 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the Spanish. But that Trump was right. Play clip two

0:39:18.239 --> 0:39:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Donald Donald Trump. Well I know Donald Trump and I

0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:32.160
<v Speaker 1>know Verdad, which is true or right? Uh So Donald

0:39:32.160 --> 0:39:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Trump was right. This was an invasion. What Trump said

0:39:34.880 --> 0:39:38.920
<v Speaker 1>was true. This is an invasion. So the Mexican people

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:44.440
<v Speaker 1>of Tijuana are not pleased, at least some of them.

0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:46.839
<v Speaker 1>I know, people can say, oh no, well, let's think

0:39:46.840 --> 0:39:49.839
<v Speaker 1>about this for a second. Folks, who would want a

0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 1>mass of thousands of people that need to be fed,

0:39:54.560 --> 0:39:59.000
<v Speaker 1>need to be using you know, restroom facilities, need to

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:02.480
<v Speaker 1>be clean and need to be kept orderly and safe

0:40:02.480 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and all this other stuff. Would you want that just

0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:07.960
<v Speaker 1>showing up in your neighborhood? Why would anyone want this?

0:40:08.120 --> 0:40:10.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I live here in the swamp in DC.

0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:14.520
<v Speaker 1>If a few thousand people descended upon, you know, my

0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:16.760
<v Speaker 1>area of the swamp and we're living in the street,

0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't want that. Does that make me a bad person?

0:40:20.640 --> 0:40:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Does that make me racist? I don't even care what

0:40:22.719 --> 0:40:24.200
<v Speaker 1>race they are, right, I mean, I just I just

0:40:24.200 --> 0:40:26.840
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want anybody to be doing that. It's not safe,

0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:30.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not sanitary, and it's not orderly. And you know,

0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the human mind, especially when it comes to your neighborhood

0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:36.799
<v Speaker 1>and where you live, the human mind tends to crave

0:40:36.840 --> 0:40:39.879
<v Speaker 1>a certain degree of organization. It's one of the reasons

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:45.319
<v Speaker 1>why we form ourselves into states and have governments. But

0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:48.480
<v Speaker 1>people are finally starting to look at this and say, well,

0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:52.319
<v Speaker 1>hold on a second, what does it mean if you

0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:55.360
<v Speaker 1>know the Mexican people are allowed to be opposed to

0:40:55.600 --> 0:41:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Honduran caravans coming into into some parts of Mexico. Are

0:41:00.800 --> 0:41:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the American people allow take a similar position. I mean,

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:06.880
<v Speaker 1>here's the mayor of Tijuan. Again, this is gonna be

0:41:06.960 --> 0:41:09.120
<v Speaker 1>in Spanish, but I've got the translation here for you.

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:13.000
<v Speaker 1>This is the mayor of of Tijuana. Play three. I mean,

0:41:13.000 --> 0:41:22.480
<v Speaker 1>we're not shot avalanche and tsunami. You may have caught there.

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:25.000
<v Speaker 1>So this is the mayor of Tijuana, says in Spanish.

0:41:25.200 --> 0:41:31.919
<v Speaker 1>No city in the world is in favor of of this,

0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:35.080
<v Speaker 1>is prepared to deal with this. If I may it's

0:41:35.080 --> 0:41:40.799
<v Speaker 1>an avalanche, it's a tsunami. Um or sorry, no city

0:41:40.800 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 1>in the world is prepared to deal with this. It's

0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:46.879
<v Speaker 1>an avalanche, it's a tsunami. Yeah, that's right. There are

0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:49.640
<v Speaker 1>there are costs associated with dealing with this caravan. There,

0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:53.399
<v Speaker 1>there's there are difficulties, there are hardships that people will

0:41:53.440 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 1>have to endure because of this caravan, and and they

0:41:56.160 --> 0:41:58.680
<v Speaker 1>don't have to want it. We are so used to

0:41:58.760 --> 0:42:02.200
<v Speaker 1>being shut down down in this country on any discussion

0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:05.960
<v Speaker 1>involving immigration, but we're just we're just beaten down with

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:08.359
<v Speaker 1>the rhetoric about how we're all racist, That's what it is.

0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Anybody doesn't matter what your skin, colorage, doesn't matter ethnicity,

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:16.719
<v Speaker 1>if you don't want masses of illegal immigrants. And that's

0:42:16.800 --> 0:42:20.320
<v Speaker 1>they keep saying, Oh, they're asylum seekers. The asylum seeking

0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:23.680
<v Speaker 1>is the scam to get them in the country. You know,

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:28.239
<v Speaker 1>if if a thousand people were about to marry Americans

0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:30.960
<v Speaker 1>from across the border that they had never met, Okay,

0:42:31.320 --> 0:42:33.399
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't sit here and allow people refer to them

0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:36.360
<v Speaker 1>as green card holders. I would say they're engaged in

0:42:36.520 --> 0:42:39.960
<v Speaker 1>marriage fraud, because that's what they are trying to do.

0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:45.160
<v Speaker 1>These are overwhelmingly fraudulent claims of asylum that are and

0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:50.160
<v Speaker 1>everybody knows it, and everybody knows it. And the caravan

0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:52.120
<v Speaker 1>is a real problem. The caravan's a real issue. And

0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:55.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, last week we had all was and Fox News,

0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:58.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean all these other news outlets were trashing conservatives,

0:42:58.360 --> 0:43:01.560
<v Speaker 1>trashing conservative media because they said that this was all

0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:06.280
<v Speaker 1>jinned up just for the election. Meanwhile, now we're actually

0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:08.959
<v Speaker 1>looking at the problem and what are the Democrats offer.

0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:11.799
<v Speaker 1>If this caravan a two thousand can come in and

0:43:11.840 --> 0:43:16.560
<v Speaker 1>do this, why can't others? If this caravan can get

0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:22.160
<v Speaker 1>into the country. What about caravans from Brazil, from Venezuela,

0:43:22.280 --> 0:43:27.959
<v Speaker 1>from Nicaragua under what, guys, can we stop anyone who

0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:32.719
<v Speaker 1>has a very simple series of lines to deliver in

0:43:32.760 --> 0:43:36.640
<v Speaker 1>the first lines of immigration enforcement, when they when they

0:43:36.880 --> 0:43:40.960
<v Speaker 1>are essentially being processed by a border patrol and immigration

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:43.239
<v Speaker 1>and customs enforcement, and they say, I've got credible fear

0:43:43.920 --> 0:43:47.399
<v Speaker 1>gangs want to hurt me, I'm fleeing violence. Anybody can

0:43:47.440 --> 0:43:50.400
<v Speaker 1>say that. Anybody can say that. And then what you

0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:54.040
<v Speaker 1>realize is, oh, hold on a second, you mean to

0:43:54.080 --> 0:43:57.160
<v Speaker 1>tell me that, you mean to tell me that there's

0:43:58.160 --> 0:44:00.560
<v Speaker 1>no way to stop these people from coming in to America,

0:44:00.600 --> 0:44:03.720
<v Speaker 1>that that that seems like a problem for some folks.

0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:08.239
<v Speaker 1>That seems like a scam. And Democrats are in on

0:44:08.280 --> 0:44:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the scam. And this is what they do with the

0:44:09.640 --> 0:44:11.480
<v Speaker 1>leagual immigration. Oh by the way, we got a guy,

0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:15.920
<v Speaker 1>here's just another guy, a Mexican living in Tijuana, who

0:44:17.000 --> 0:44:19.160
<v Speaker 1>is talking about this caravan. Here's what he says. Play four.

0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:22.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really in favor of them coming the way

0:44:22.400 --> 0:44:25.040
<v Speaker 1>they did. You know, to me, it feels like, um,

0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:29.319
<v Speaker 1>they invaded and that was not the correct way. But

0:44:29.400 --> 0:44:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I know all of them are not like that invaded.

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:37.600
<v Speaker 1>He says, Oh my gosh, so that Mexican is so

0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:42.200
<v Speaker 1>racist against Hondurans. How could he? You know, I mean,

0:44:42.239 --> 0:44:44.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean Mexicans being racist against Hondurans. I mean, at

0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:46.560
<v Speaker 1>what point? At what point do we realize this is?

0:44:47.440 --> 0:44:52.560
<v Speaker 1>This is just gone off into crazy town. But Democrats

0:44:52.640 --> 0:44:56.640
<v Speaker 1>do not They do not have a solution on this.

0:44:56.840 --> 0:44:59.200
<v Speaker 1>They do not have an answer on this. Their whole

0:44:59.200 --> 0:45:04.080
<v Speaker 1>thing is just like with socialism, the biggest thing socialism

0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:06.400
<v Speaker 1>has going forward is that it sounds good. The biggest

0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:09.400
<v Speaker 1>problem is that it doesn't work. Apply that logics and

0:45:09.480 --> 0:45:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Democrats immigration. The best thing about Democrats immigration is they

0:45:12.960 --> 0:45:16.399
<v Speaker 1>sound like they're nice and caring. The problem is they

0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:20.440
<v Speaker 1>don't care. They're not being nice, and they're creating problems

0:45:20.440 --> 0:45:22.520
<v Speaker 1>for this country and for our rule of law and

0:45:22.520 --> 0:45:24.920
<v Speaker 1>our sovereignty, and they know none of that even factors

0:45:24.960 --> 0:45:28.719
<v Speaker 1>into their thinking at all. I find this, Uh, you know,

0:45:29.120 --> 0:45:31.239
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna we're gonna continue to follow the story. I mean,

0:45:31.239 --> 0:45:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I find this very troubling. I'm very annoyed by it,

0:45:34.840 --> 0:45:38.799
<v Speaker 1>and I want more action from Republicans on this when

0:45:38.800 --> 0:45:40.799
<v Speaker 1>they have to do a better job of making the case.

0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump's the only one I see out there. Where are

0:45:43.200 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the Republicans. Why aren't they sound the

0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:52.799
<v Speaker 1>alarm about this massive asylum scam. Well, you go to

0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:55.359
<v Speaker 1>the Ninth Circuit and it's a disgrace. And I'm gonna

0:45:55.360 --> 0:45:58.680
<v Speaker 1>put in a major complaint because you cannot win if

0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you're us a case in the Ninth Circuit. And I

0:46:01.239 --> 0:46:04.719
<v Speaker 1>think it's a disgrace when people file every case gets

0:46:04.719 --> 0:46:08.000
<v Speaker 1>filed in the Ninth Circuit, because they know that's not law,

0:46:08.280 --> 0:46:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that's not what this country stands for. Every case that

0:46:11.200 --> 0:46:14.400
<v Speaker 1>gets filed in the Ninth Circuit, we get beaten and

0:46:14.440 --> 0:46:16.640
<v Speaker 1>then we end up having to go to the Supreme Court,

0:46:16.719 --> 0:46:19.520
<v Speaker 1>like the travel ban, and we won. This was an

0:46:19.520 --> 0:46:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Obama judge. And I'll tell you what, It's not gonna

0:46:23.719 --> 0:46:27.560
<v Speaker 1>happen like this anymore. Everybody that wants to sue the

0:46:27.680 --> 0:46:31.880
<v Speaker 1>United States, they file their case in almost they file

0:46:31.960 --> 0:46:34.840
<v Speaker 1>their case in the Ninth Circuit. And it means in

0:46:34.960 --> 0:46:37.960
<v Speaker 1>automatic laws, no matter what you do, no matter how

0:46:38.000 --> 0:46:41.040
<v Speaker 1>good your case is, And the Ninth Circuit is really

0:46:41.080 --> 0:46:43.840
<v Speaker 1>something we have to take a look at. Trump is

0:46:43.880 --> 0:46:48.720
<v Speaker 1>completely correct here on the Ninth The Ninth Circuit and

0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, you'll notice that the Libs and the activist

0:46:52.160 --> 0:46:54.920
<v Speaker 1>judges on the Ninth Circuit are not in the least

0:46:55.560 --> 0:46:59.560
<v Speaker 1>bit chastened by the fact that they've already been slapped

0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:03.560
<v Speaker 1>down on a major issue dealing with immigration and presidential authority,

0:47:04.160 --> 0:47:07.640
<v Speaker 1>in this case, the travel ban. Trump was right, according

0:47:07.640 --> 0:47:10.960
<v Speaker 1>to the Supreme Court on the travel ban. So these

0:47:11.080 --> 0:47:14.960
<v Speaker 1>judges are just hashtag resistance. That's what's really going on.

0:47:15.280 --> 0:47:19.440
<v Speaker 1>These are Obama appointees who think that their judgment of

0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:23.640
<v Speaker 1>what the law should be is more important than what

0:47:23.800 --> 0:47:26.719
<v Speaker 1>the law says. So let me just give you I mean,

0:47:26.760 --> 0:47:28.440
<v Speaker 1>here's some of the background of this one from the

0:47:28.440 --> 0:47:32.040
<v Speaker 1>New York Times. President Trump signed a proclamation on November

0:47:32.160 --> 0:47:35.920
<v Speaker 1>ninth that banned immigrants from applying for asylum if they

0:47:35.960 --> 0:47:39.000
<v Speaker 1>failed to make the request at a legal checkpoint. Only

0:47:39.040 --> 0:47:40.960
<v Speaker 1>those who entered the country through a port of entry

0:47:40.960 --> 0:47:43.880
<v Speaker 1>would be eligible, he said, invoking national security powers to

0:47:43.880 --> 0:47:47.080
<v Speaker 1>protect the integrity of the United States borders. When in days,

0:47:47.080 --> 0:47:49.959
<v Speaker 1>the administration submitted a rule to the Federal Register, letting

0:47:49.960 --> 0:47:53.640
<v Speaker 1>it go into effect immediately and without the customary period

0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:58.560
<v Speaker 1>for public comment. But the rule overhauled long standing asylum

0:47:58.600 --> 0:48:01.080
<v Speaker 1>laws that people fleeing persecution can seek safety. The United

0:48:01.080 --> 0:48:06.520
<v Speaker 1>States advocacy groups I left wing, left wing packs, which

0:48:06.560 --> 0:48:08.239
<v Speaker 1>is what the Southern Poverty Law Center and the a

0:48:08.360 --> 0:48:12.480
<v Speaker 1>cl you have become soothe administration and the judge put

0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:16.960
<v Speaker 1>in this temporary stranding order. One Remember, all it takes

0:48:17.040 --> 0:48:21.040
<v Speaker 1>is one federal judge to now stop the president of

0:48:21.080 --> 0:48:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the United States from exercising his constitutional authority as commander

0:48:26.280 --> 0:48:29.600
<v Speaker 1>in chief. That's the country we're living in now. They

0:48:29.640 --> 0:48:32.640
<v Speaker 1>tell us that there's tyranny. Meanwhile, you get any federal

0:48:32.719 --> 0:48:35.640
<v Speaker 1>judge anywhere in the country can say nope, Trump can't

0:48:35.640 --> 0:48:38.000
<v Speaker 1>do that, and Trump has to go Okay, we know,

0:48:38.080 --> 0:48:39.279
<v Speaker 1>we gotta go to court and gotta go to the

0:48:39.320 --> 0:48:43.520
<v Speaker 1>little process. This is just stalling. This is bad faith

0:48:44.080 --> 0:48:47.320
<v Speaker 1>law from the left, which is when these judges are leftist.

0:48:47.440 --> 0:48:51.479
<v Speaker 1>That's what this is. Okay. Understand also what the Trump

0:48:51.480 --> 0:48:54.360
<v Speaker 1>administration has said here and what the left is therefore saying.

0:48:54.600 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 1>All Trump has said is you cannot cross into the

0:48:58.040 --> 0:49:02.400
<v Speaker 1>country illegally and then say, oh yeah, I want asylum.

0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:06.120
<v Speaker 1>So because what really that means is that now you'll

0:49:06.160 --> 0:49:08.319
<v Speaker 1>have people to get near the border and they just

0:49:08.360 --> 0:49:10.120
<v Speaker 1>wait until they think there's an opening, and then they

0:49:10.120 --> 0:49:13.080
<v Speaker 1>can cross into the country and then they're home free.

0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:16.400
<v Speaker 1>And if they get caught, instead of having to worry

0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:20.480
<v Speaker 1>about being immediately turned around and deported, they just claim asylum.

0:49:20.880 --> 0:49:23.080
<v Speaker 1>So it's like a get out of jail free card.

0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:25.640
<v Speaker 1>And what Trump has said is in order to protect

0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:29.960
<v Speaker 1>our national sovereignty at the border, he will not allow

0:49:30.120 --> 0:49:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, as executive policy will no longer allow people

0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:36.879
<v Speaker 1>to claim what they call defensive asylum, meaning that once

0:49:36.920 --> 0:49:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you're already caught, you say, well, I want to claim asylum.

0:49:39.920 --> 0:49:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Now Trump is saying no, sorry, that doesn't work. That's

0:49:44.080 --> 0:49:48.719
<v Speaker 1>not acceptable. And when you think about it, what the

0:49:48.840 --> 0:49:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Left is there for telling you is that they want

0:49:51.280 --> 0:49:53.040
<v Speaker 1>people to be able to come into the country however

0:49:53.040 --> 0:49:55.719
<v Speaker 1>they want and abuse the system and claim asylum for

0:49:55.760 --> 0:49:58.920
<v Speaker 1>cases that they are not going to win. I mean,

0:49:59.000 --> 0:50:02.319
<v Speaker 1>over eighty percent to these aside these would be or

0:50:02.400 --> 0:50:06.799
<v Speaker 1>these requesting these individuals requesting asylum, over eighty percent are

0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:11.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be rejected. Okay, they're going to be rejected.

0:50:12.239 --> 0:50:15.000
<v Speaker 1>And this is where the Democrats are being so dishonest

0:50:15.040 --> 0:50:18.279
<v Speaker 1>because at that point, once they're rejected, they're in the

0:50:18.320 --> 0:50:21.600
<v Speaker 1>country illegally. So these are all soon to be These

0:50:21.600 --> 0:50:25.040
<v Speaker 1>are illegals in waiting, folks, That's what we're talking about,

0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:27.520
<v Speaker 1>over eighty percent of them by the numbers of what

0:50:27.520 --> 0:50:31.399
<v Speaker 1>we've seen in these recent Migaret waves. This is why

0:50:31.520 --> 0:50:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I when I say that the Democrat Party has turned

0:50:34.360 --> 0:50:37.360
<v Speaker 1>into a party that turns a blind eye to illegal immigration,

0:50:38.120 --> 0:50:42.080
<v Speaker 1>to a party that is openly advocating for illegal immigration,

0:50:42.920 --> 0:50:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not exaggerating. They want to make it as easy

0:50:47.600 --> 0:50:51.279
<v Speaker 1>as possible to be in this country illegally and to

0:50:51.520 --> 0:50:54.839
<v Speaker 1>enter this country illegally, and they will pervert the law,

0:50:54.880 --> 0:50:56.880
<v Speaker 1>they will turn the law upside down in order to

0:50:56.920 --> 0:51:01.760
<v Speaker 1>get there. Also, as I've been saying this, this notion

0:51:01.840 --> 0:51:06.960
<v Speaker 1>that these judges are in a position to just overrule

0:51:07.520 --> 0:51:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to a temporary on a temporary basis, but overall executive authority,

0:51:11.360 --> 0:51:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is just it's just nonsense. It just

0:51:14.640 --> 0:51:18.640
<v Speaker 1>goes to show you that there is such an anti

0:51:18.719 --> 0:51:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump strain in this country right now that you have

0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:24.640
<v Speaker 1>judges who don't have the respect for the law or

0:51:24.680 --> 0:51:27.840
<v Speaker 1>for the powers that they hold to understand that Trump,

0:51:28.440 --> 0:51:31.399
<v Speaker 1>as the commander in chief and under a duly pass

0:51:31.480 --> 0:51:36.879
<v Speaker 1>congressional statute, has the authority to exempt illegal aliens from

0:51:37.000 --> 0:51:39.880
<v Speaker 1>entering the country for any reason that he deems in

0:51:39.920 --> 0:51:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the national interest. That is the law that the travel

0:51:43.200 --> 0:51:47.759
<v Speaker 1>ban was upheld under. In part. That law certainly applies here.

0:51:49.080 --> 0:51:52.000
<v Speaker 1>So if Trump says, you know we're at we're at

0:51:52.000 --> 0:51:54.760
<v Speaker 1>war with Iran, or you know we're war with any country,

0:51:55.160 --> 0:51:59.040
<v Speaker 1>therefore illegal aliens or not illegal aliens, just aliens from Iran,

0:51:59.680 --> 0:52:04.000
<v Speaker 1>non citizen non residents from Iran cannot enter the United States.

0:52:04.040 --> 0:52:08.399
<v Speaker 1>He has the constitutional authority to do that. This also

0:52:08.440 --> 0:52:10.919
<v Speaker 1>brings us to how the left really does seem to

0:52:11.040 --> 0:52:17.239
<v Speaker 1>believe that foreigners have constitutional rights full constitutional rights as well,

0:52:18.400 --> 0:52:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and just just go down the line. Not only they

0:52:21.000 --> 0:52:23.080
<v Speaker 1>think that foreigners should be able to essentially sue to

0:52:23.120 --> 0:52:27.160
<v Speaker 1>come into the United States against the express wishes of

0:52:27.680 --> 0:52:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the executive branch through the President, but they if they

0:52:31.000 --> 0:52:32.719
<v Speaker 1>had their way, I think they would let foreigners vote

0:52:32.719 --> 0:52:38.239
<v Speaker 1>in our elections too. There's no moral, principled outragemal left

0:52:38.320 --> 0:52:40.680
<v Speaker 1>over illegal aliens voting in our elections. They just say

0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:43.080
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't happen, But they're not saying if it did happen,

0:52:43.160 --> 0:52:46.680
<v Speaker 1>it's like really bad. They wish it could happen, but

0:52:47.400 --> 0:52:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is here's a perfect example of the

0:52:50.440 --> 0:52:53.880
<v Speaker 1>crap that we have to deal with. Senior supervising attorney

0:52:53.880 --> 0:52:56.600
<v Speaker 1>at the Southern Poverty Law Center, Melissa Crowe says, quote,

0:52:56.640 --> 0:52:59.000
<v Speaker 1>this is a critical step in fighting back against President

0:52:59.040 --> 0:53:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump's war honest asylum seekers. End quote. That's just idiocy.

0:53:04.840 --> 0:53:10.160
<v Speaker 1>These are not legitimate asylum seekers. These are people who

0:53:10.200 --> 0:53:14.680
<v Speaker 1>are abusing asylum law getting ahead of other people who

0:53:14.680 --> 0:53:18.319
<v Speaker 1>are really who are really trying to flee certain death

0:53:18.360 --> 0:53:21.799
<v Speaker 1>in their countries being targeted by their own governments. These

0:53:21.800 --> 0:53:24.200
<v Speaker 1>are economic migrants. These people want to be in America.

0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:27.360
<v Speaker 1>We've got a big cozy welfare stake going to this country. Folks.

0:53:27.480 --> 0:53:29.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a good time to be in America. If you've

0:53:29.440 --> 0:53:32.279
<v Speaker 1>got no skills and don't speak English, it's not that

0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:34.640
<v Speaker 1>hard to be here now. It's easier than it's been

0:53:34.640 --> 0:53:39.960
<v Speaker 1>in a long time. So that's what we're talking about.

0:53:40.600 --> 0:53:43.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean, under this woman from the Southern Property Law

0:53:43.840 --> 0:53:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Centers description or under her conception of asylum, the entire

0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:54.399
<v Speaker 1>country of Honduras qualifies for asylum, all of it. So

0:53:54.440 --> 0:53:57.160
<v Speaker 1>do we have to merge with Honduras now? And if

0:53:57.200 --> 0:54:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Honduras qualifies, why does in Mexico. Mexico has got a

0:54:00.920 --> 0:54:03.520
<v Speaker 1>tremendous violence problem, a lot of drugs, a lot of corruption.

0:54:04.520 --> 0:54:07.040
<v Speaker 1>So what is you know, where do we draw the

0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:10.400
<v Speaker 1>line here? The answer is the left draws the line

0:54:10.560 --> 0:54:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the moment that it's no longer in their political interests

0:54:13.560 --> 0:54:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and the greater the number of impoverished Third world non

0:54:19.640 --> 0:54:23.040
<v Speaker 1>English speaking immigrant the Left can pile into the United States,

0:54:23.080 --> 0:54:26.040
<v Speaker 1>in their mind, the better. It just means that they

0:54:26.239 --> 0:54:30.000
<v Speaker 1>have a greater chance of creating a one party state

0:54:30.000 --> 0:54:31.880
<v Speaker 1>in this country, which is the ultimate goal, which is

0:54:31.920 --> 0:54:34.680
<v Speaker 1>why I'm telling you right now twenty twenty, it's all

0:54:34.760 --> 0:54:39.200
<v Speaker 1>about amnesty. If they can get the presidency and control

0:54:39.200 --> 0:54:41.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Senate, the first thing they're going to try

0:54:41.120 --> 0:54:43.200
<v Speaker 1>to do is ram through an amnesty, and that is

0:54:43.280 --> 0:54:46.520
<v Speaker 1>ballgame for conservatism. That is the end for those of

0:54:46.600 --> 0:54:49.440
<v Speaker 1>us who believe in limited government, rule of law, and constitutionalism.

0:54:49.520 --> 0:54:51.880
<v Speaker 1>We will be a different country then, So keep that

0:54:51.920 --> 0:54:56.440
<v Speaker 1>in mind. I acknowledge there's a stock market correction, and

0:54:56.480 --> 0:54:58.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't like to see anybody lose any money all

0:54:58.920 --> 0:55:01.600
<v Speaker 1>any time, But these things happen, they come and go.

0:55:02.160 --> 0:55:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying the psychology and stocks has gone down

0:55:06.120 --> 0:55:10.839
<v Speaker 1>a bit. The economy is roaring. So Larry Cudlow is saying, look,

0:55:10.880 --> 0:55:15.400
<v Speaker 1>don't don't everybody panic. Yeah, the stock market, and I

0:55:15.480 --> 0:55:17.200
<v Speaker 1>can tell you this. I mean, if you've basically been

0:55:17.280 --> 0:55:19.879
<v Speaker 1>looking at that the way the stock market's done since

0:55:19.920 --> 0:55:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the year, if you've been invested since

0:55:22.640 --> 0:55:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the year, all of your gains, if

0:55:25.160 --> 0:55:27.319
<v Speaker 1>you've been really just in the S ANDP and sort

0:55:27.360 --> 0:55:28.759
<v Speaker 1>of the you know, if you've been in some big

0:55:28.840 --> 0:55:33.400
<v Speaker 1>mutual funds, the gains are gone. And if you've invested

0:55:33.560 --> 0:55:38.360
<v Speaker 1>in the main drivers of stock market growth in recent years,

0:55:38.880 --> 0:55:41.120
<v Speaker 1>in terms of what they call the fang stocks, which

0:55:41.120 --> 0:55:46.800
<v Speaker 1>are Facebook, Apple, Netflix, and Google, if you've been heavily

0:55:46.800 --> 0:55:50.360
<v Speaker 1>invested in that, you've gotten You've gotten your shirt handed

0:55:50.400 --> 0:55:52.600
<v Speaker 1>to you. I mean, it's been it's been rough last month.

0:55:52.920 --> 0:55:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Now you could say, buck, I don't really care about

0:55:54.360 --> 0:55:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the stock market. This isn't financial show. And I said,

0:55:56.200 --> 0:55:59.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know, I understand that. But people look

0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:04.120
<v Speaker 1>at this and they say, maybe maybe this is a

0:56:04.160 --> 0:56:07.719
<v Speaker 1>recession that's about to happen here, and there's there's concerns,

0:56:07.760 --> 0:56:10.960
<v Speaker 1>there's concerns over that. Here's my problem is that I

0:56:11.040 --> 0:56:13.919
<v Speaker 1>think that the market we've been in a ten year

0:56:14.000 --> 0:56:18.720
<v Speaker 1>bull market, and there's a lot of reason to believe

0:56:18.760 --> 0:56:22.520
<v Speaker 1>that a cyclical recession is going to happen in the

0:56:22.560 --> 0:56:26.400
<v Speaker 1>next year or two. And just as we saw with

0:56:26.480 --> 0:56:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the way, the Democrats got incredibly lucky with Obama coming

0:56:31.480 --> 0:56:33.600
<v Speaker 1>on the scene right when you at the end of

0:56:33.640 --> 0:56:38.520
<v Speaker 1>eight years of Republican administration and a pretty rough recession

0:56:39.640 --> 0:56:41.719
<v Speaker 1>hit right around the time that you're trying to see

0:56:41.760 --> 0:56:44.520
<v Speaker 1>John McCain take on Barack Obama, right, I mean, that

0:56:45.000 --> 0:56:48.440
<v Speaker 1>was very good timing for a pretty radical left wing

0:56:48.480 --> 0:56:52.040
<v Speaker 1>president to come on the scene and talk about, you know,

0:56:52.080 --> 0:56:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the redistribution of wealth and paying your fair share and

0:56:54.520 --> 0:56:56.879
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff. Because people get scared and they want

0:56:56.880 --> 0:56:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that they want to believe the government's there for them,

0:56:58.600 --> 0:57:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the government's going to help them, the government is the

0:57:00.640 --> 0:57:03.600
<v Speaker 1>backstop of all this stuff. And right now there's a

0:57:03.640 --> 0:57:06.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit of an increase in fear, and I worried

0:57:06.120 --> 0:57:10.040
<v Speaker 1>that the Trump administration is heading in for something of

0:57:10.080 --> 0:57:13.760
<v Speaker 1>a perfect storm here, where you're gonna have the House

0:57:13.800 --> 0:57:18.240
<v Speaker 1>of Representatives is just going to turn into a Democrat

0:57:18.840 --> 0:57:21.480
<v Speaker 1>opo machine. I mean, they're gonna just be doing all

0:57:21.480 --> 0:57:24.360
<v Speaker 1>these just like the Ivanka email stuff. They're gonna reach,

0:57:24.400 --> 0:57:26.560
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna stretch, They're gonna come up with all kinds

0:57:26.600 --> 0:57:30.320
<v Speaker 1>of nonsense, whatever they can then whatever they have to

0:57:30.560 --> 0:57:36.320
<v Speaker 1>try and justify their insane positions. But they're in enough,

0:57:36.360 --> 0:57:38.800
<v Speaker 1>they have enough power and enough authority and certainly enough

0:57:39.360 --> 0:57:43.760
<v Speaker 1>amplification from the media that it is likely that they'll

0:57:43.800 --> 0:57:46.200
<v Speaker 1>be able to get you know, the message out there

0:57:46.200 --> 0:57:49.200
<v Speaker 1>and get some tractionals and they're going to impeach the president. Now,

0:57:49.240 --> 0:57:53.080
<v Speaker 1>impeaching the president when the economy is roaring and things

0:57:53.080 --> 0:57:56.360
<v Speaker 1>are going really well in the country overall, certainly economically,

0:57:56.840 --> 0:58:01.640
<v Speaker 1>impeaching the president seems like a petty part is in

0:58:02.560 --> 0:58:05.479
<v Speaker 1>hatchet job. You know, it just seems Now. It doesn't

0:58:05.480 --> 0:58:07.680
<v Speaker 1>mean Democrats won't do it. It just means that I

0:58:07.720 --> 0:58:11.120
<v Speaker 1>don't think that that helps them going into twenty twenty

0:58:11.360 --> 0:58:13.560
<v Speaker 1>in those critical states that they will need to win

0:58:14.200 --> 0:58:18.640
<v Speaker 1>if they're gonna be Trump right, they Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida,

0:58:18.680 --> 0:58:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you know the states. So you know, if that's what

0:58:22.080 --> 0:58:24.680
<v Speaker 1>it's all gonna come down to, you know, then we

0:58:24.720 --> 0:58:28.960
<v Speaker 1>need to understand that an economy that's on the downswing,

0:58:29.080 --> 0:58:31.720
<v Speaker 1>even if it's not really Trump's fault, is going to

0:58:32.760 --> 0:58:36.840
<v Speaker 1>add to the woes of this administration. And you're gonna

0:58:36.840 --> 0:58:38.840
<v Speaker 1>see I do believe you're going to see a moment

0:58:38.880 --> 0:58:42.160
<v Speaker 1>here where the Democrats are going to have an opening

0:58:42.240 --> 0:58:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to really push for the democratic socialism also known as socialism.

0:58:48.360 --> 0:58:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think they're really gonna push for that.

0:58:50.200 --> 0:58:53.240
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna say this whole Medicare for all things is

0:58:53.280 --> 0:58:55.000
<v Speaker 1>going to gain more attraction, and they'll just a lot

0:58:55.000 --> 0:58:56.800
<v Speaker 1>of people and tell them, oh, yeah, the big lie

0:58:56.800 --> 0:58:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that I'm hearing on that all the time on Medicare

0:58:58.760 --> 0:59:03.440
<v Speaker 1>for all is oh okay, fine, yeah, you'll have to

0:59:03.480 --> 0:59:05.600
<v Speaker 1>pay more in taxes, but you'll say it, you'll get

0:59:05.640 --> 0:59:08.480
<v Speaker 1>more money back in savings on your healthcare. That's that's

0:59:08.480 --> 0:59:13.040
<v Speaker 1>a lie. This is the magic cake that feeds everybody

0:59:13.040 --> 0:59:15.680
<v Speaker 1>that never runs out, and that will make you fat

0:59:15.720 --> 0:59:17.400
<v Speaker 1>no matter how much of it you eat. You know,

0:59:17.560 --> 0:59:22.200
<v Speaker 1>it's just not true. And government saving you money is

0:59:22.240 --> 0:59:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to you know, through your healthcare after taking more money

0:59:25.240 --> 0:59:29.880
<v Speaker 1>from you in the form of taxes. That's just not true.

0:59:30.320 --> 0:59:34.080
<v Speaker 1>And I wish, I wish we could get people to

0:59:34.080 --> 0:59:37.240
<v Speaker 1>really understand that. But the direction of the economy is

0:59:37.280 --> 0:59:39.680
<v Speaker 1>really going to affect a lot of the political conversation.

0:59:40.280 --> 0:59:43.800
<v Speaker 1>And I think that there's my concern all along has

0:59:43.840 --> 0:59:47.640
<v Speaker 1>been Trump with a booming economy and a four percent

0:59:48.200 --> 0:59:53.000
<v Speaker 1>give or take unemployment rate is unstoppable, but unstoppable. But

0:59:53.120 --> 0:59:57.520
<v Speaker 1>by the left, Trump with you know, the stock market

0:59:57.560 --> 1:00:00.840
<v Speaker 1>taking a thirty percent dip from the high I and

1:00:01.040 --> 1:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>people's four oh one k's getting crushed. Pension by the way,

1:00:04.600 --> 1:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>all the pension funds for those of you that are

1:00:06.280 --> 1:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>like I don't care about four own ks. Wherever you

1:00:08.000 --> 1:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>live across the country, the pension fund where you are

1:00:10.760 --> 1:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>is most likely invested, and the long term pension outlays

1:00:15.800 --> 1:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>all take into account that they got to make money

1:00:18.000 --> 1:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>by investing it, right, so to pay the pensions in

1:00:22.040 --> 1:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>in uh, you know punk satawni for the firefighters, they've

1:00:26.640 --> 1:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why punk Satanni came to mind, but

1:00:28.600 --> 1:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>you know they've got to invest the pension money and

1:00:31.960 --> 1:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>have a compound at a certain expected growth rate. Otherwise,

1:00:36.200 --> 1:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, they've got to raise tax on people because

1:00:37.680 --> 1:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>they're not gonna have the money. They're gonna have pension shortfalls.

1:00:40.160 --> 1:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think that when when I talk about

1:00:41.680 --> 1:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the market. The market affects a lot more than just oh,

1:00:44.400 --> 1:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>like arm, oh, how's my portfolio doing? You know, let

1:00:47.760 --> 1:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>me just shine my monocle right now and put on

1:00:49.840 --> 1:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>my top hat please. I wish, by the way, that

1:00:52.640 --> 1:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>sounds like fun, not the monocle in the top hat,

1:00:55.800 --> 1:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>but having that kind of money. So but that's where Trump,

1:00:59.600 --> 1:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I think, comes much more vulnerable. And also look this

1:01:02.080 --> 1:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>China issue. The Chinese stock markets down about twenty percent

1:01:05.320 --> 1:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>this year. China stock market's getting roughed up, and Trump

1:01:09.800 --> 1:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>has There's no two ways about it. Trump has retaliated

1:01:15.680 --> 1:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>people who am saying he's picked he picked a fight

1:01:18.480 --> 1:01:20.439
<v Speaker 1>and started a trade war with China. But he's really

1:01:20.440 --> 1:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>just responding to an ongoing Chinese trade war. But he

1:01:23.320 --> 1:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>is responding to it, and the tensions are getting ratcheted

1:01:27.440 --> 1:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>up here as a result. Kudlu also spoke about this

1:01:29.840 --> 1:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>play Cliff twelve. It's got to include IP theft, it's

1:01:34.240 --> 1:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>got to include changes in ownership. It's got to stop

1:01:37.360 --> 1:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the force transfer of technology. It's got to go to

1:01:40.320 --> 1:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>zero tariffs and zero non tariff barriers. It's got to

1:01:44.120 --> 1:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>having forceability, it's got to have strict timetables. It has

1:01:48.440 --> 1:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>to have, frankly, more than we've seen so far. He said, Look,

1:01:54.280 --> 1:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>we're not backing down with China. If China is willing

1:01:57.360 --> 1:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to play ball like a responsible actor here, if the

1:02:00.640 --> 1:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Chinese government will stop the shenanigans and start acting like

1:02:05.760 --> 1:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>a normal, advanced, developed rule of law country in terms

1:02:11.240 --> 1:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>of its trade relations, well then you know we can

1:02:14.000 --> 1:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>come to some kind of an agreement. Now I've said

1:02:16.960 --> 1:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>this all along because you know, the conventional wisdom on

1:02:20.280 --> 1:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>trade has been, you know, we're a free trade even

1:02:23.320 --> 1:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>though that's really more of a talking point than it

1:02:25.200 --> 1:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>is a concept you can implement. But you know, we're

1:02:28.320 --> 1:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>all about free trade. But if China is going to cheat,

1:02:32.280 --> 1:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>then we need to exact or extract some punishment for

1:02:37.840 --> 1:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>their predatory trade practices. And as you mentioned in intellectual

1:02:42.360 --> 1:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>property theft, there's more than just you know, them having

1:02:48.480 --> 1:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>taxes on imports. Right, There's more than just tariffs to

1:02:52.160 --> 1:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>discuss here. There's a lot of other activity they're engaged in.

1:02:55.920 --> 1:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>But this is only good if we win, right, This

1:02:59.640 --> 1:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>is only good if it works out. If this just

1:03:02.640 --> 1:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>results in continued back and forth and you know, economic

1:03:08.120 --> 1:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>dislocations and perhaps even global economic stagnation as a result

1:03:13.120 --> 1:03:15.240
<v Speaker 1>of the two largest economies in the world getting to

1:03:15.360 --> 1:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>some kind of, you know, a contest of wills here.

1:03:19.600 --> 1:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>That's not good. So I've been willing to give the

1:03:21.680 --> 1:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump administration the leeway to get this done. They still might,

1:03:24.680 --> 1:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>they'll probably. I'm sure if I could talk to Cutlow,

1:03:26.680 --> 1:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and we interviewed him a few weeks ago at the Hill,

1:03:28.400 --> 1:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>but I wasn't there for it. But next time I

1:03:30.440 --> 1:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>get a chance to talk to Cudlow, you know, I'm

1:03:32.480 --> 1:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>sure he would say that it's early, you know, and

1:03:35.360 --> 1:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>that this is going to take. It's a process. But

1:03:37.880 --> 1:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, the longer it takes, the more pain that

1:03:40.080 --> 1:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>we suffered through it, the less it would be a victory. Right,

1:03:43.280 --> 1:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>So we got to see what ends up happening here

1:03:45.280 --> 1:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>with China. But the economy is key. If Trump is

1:03:48.960 --> 1:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>going to win in twenty twenty, we have to keep

1:03:50.880 --> 1:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>this economy going strong. And the left knows that, and

1:03:53.720 --> 1:03:55.360
<v Speaker 1>so they're willing to tank it. If they have to

1:03:57.040 --> 1:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>take off the shelf existing technologies, we could reduce carbon

1:04:01.920 --> 1:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>emissions by let's say thirty without any Yeah, it's not

1:04:07.120 --> 1:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>like we'd all have to go back to caves and

1:04:09.840 --> 1:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, live off you know, fire. We could have

1:04:14.160 --> 1:04:18.840
<v Speaker 1>electricity and smartphones and all that stuff, which would buy

1:04:18.920 --> 1:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>us probably another twenty thirty years for that technological breakthrough

1:04:22.840 --> 1:04:26.160
<v Speaker 1>that's necessary. The reason we don't do it is because

1:04:27.280 --> 1:04:37.600
<v Speaker 1>we are still confused, blind shrouded with hate, anger, racism,

1:04:37.800 --> 1:04:45.919
<v Speaker 1>mommy issues. Yeah, I mean you know we we we are,

1:04:46.360 --> 1:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>we are fraught with stuff. Obama is not nearly as

1:04:56.520 --> 1:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>impressive all the issues as the media tended he was

1:05:01.880 --> 1:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>for many, many years. Obama is somebody who has always

1:05:09.640 --> 1:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>been held up as having a much greater grasp of

1:05:12.160 --> 1:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the complexities of politics than than he does, or at

1:05:14.920 --> 1:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>least complexities of policy. And that's a perfect example. You know,

1:05:19.480 --> 1:05:23.200
<v Speaker 1>we have off the shelf technology that would reduce carbon

1:05:23.200 --> 1:05:26.760
<v Speaker 1>emissions by thirty percent, and the only reason we don't

1:05:26.800 --> 1:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>do it is mommy issues, racism. I can't you remember

1:05:31.840 --> 1:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff that he's It was just like this long,

1:05:34.200 --> 1:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>this long string of of stupid non sequiturs, and I

1:05:41.120 --> 1:05:44.440
<v Speaker 1>just I can't tell you with first of all, that

1:05:44.440 --> 1:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Obama is still out there giving all these speeches and stuff.

1:05:46.720 --> 1:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's president for eight years. Maybe maybe just

1:05:49.760 --> 1:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>like do some good charity work. You know, maybe we

1:05:52.720 --> 1:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>don't have to hear the most recent president acting as

1:05:57.360 --> 1:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a partisan surrogate for the party in opposition to the

1:06:01.360 --> 1:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>current president. Right, maybe that would be nice, like what

1:06:04.440 --> 1:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>George W. Bush did, for example. I know it's not required.

1:06:07.320 --> 1:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying it would be nice. It would be

1:06:09.800 --> 1:06:14.840
<v Speaker 1>more respectful and gentlemanly, I think. But I know this

1:06:14.920 --> 1:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>is not a time for gentlemanliness in politics, I suppose,

1:06:18.280 --> 1:06:20.160
<v Speaker 1>at least not in the left's view, and honestly not

1:06:20.200 --> 1:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>on the rights either. It's pretty much a brawl. So

1:06:23.160 --> 1:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>here Obama makes this comment, any people are laughing and

1:06:25.520 --> 1:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>all it's so funny and all the things that he

1:06:28.360 --> 1:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>says there, and this is just one example of an

1:06:31.080 --> 1:06:34.960
<v Speaker 1>obama Ism. But it sounds kind of wise and witty,

1:06:35.200 --> 1:06:38.280
<v Speaker 1>and oh, Obama, just tell us more. It's just garbage.

1:06:38.720 --> 1:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't know what the heck he's talking about, which

1:06:40.680 --> 1:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>for a guy who was present for eight years, it's

1:06:42.680 --> 1:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>pretty remarkable. But the reason that we don't use those

1:06:45.840 --> 1:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>off the shelf technologies is that they're really expensive. The

1:06:49.800 --> 1:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>reason that we don't use renewable at the rates that

1:06:53.320 --> 1:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>the left wants us to that the green extremes believe

1:06:56.440 --> 1:07:01.720
<v Speaker 1>we should is because they are highly highly efficient still

1:07:02.360 --> 1:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and with the increasing availability of fossil fuels and the

1:07:09.160 --> 1:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>better technology for getting at the fossil fuels as well

1:07:11.840 --> 1:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>as the more efficient technology for using it things like

1:07:14.720 --> 1:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>liquefied natural gas obviously fracking as part of the extraction process.

1:07:22.400 --> 1:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>The idea that we're all of a sudden supposed to

1:07:25.120 --> 1:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>rely on wind, rely on solar, there's a lot this

1:07:30.640 --> 1:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>has been you know, solo has been the next big

1:07:32.320 --> 1:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>thing for the last forty years, and there's a reason

1:07:34.440 --> 1:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>for that. But either the notion that Obama puts forward there,

1:07:38.280 --> 1:07:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I just think that's that this is of all the

1:07:41.840 --> 1:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>things from the Obama era that he would do on

1:07:44.320 --> 1:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>a regular basis, the way that he would go after

1:07:47.120 --> 1:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>he would create these straw men on the right and

1:07:49.360 --> 1:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>then just rip them apart as though he was doing

1:07:52.120 --> 1:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>something really smart and really brave. That really bothered me.

1:07:56.520 --> 1:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>He never contends with the argument the other side, my

1:07:59.680 --> 1:08:03.200
<v Speaker 1>argument against his whole I mean, never mind getting into

1:08:03.240 --> 1:08:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the climate change is a threat to us thing, which

1:08:05.200 --> 1:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>is just that's just irrational. It's irrational. It's not a

1:08:08.360 --> 1:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>threat to us. We're all going to be fine, Okay,

1:08:11.240 --> 1:08:13.840
<v Speaker 1>people have gotten those all scared and they think that

1:08:13.960 --> 1:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>he's talking about other people being scared and afraid and

1:08:16.760 --> 1:08:20.679
<v Speaker 1>mommy issues. But if there was a technology out there

1:08:20.720 --> 1:08:23.320
<v Speaker 1>that was cheaper and better and more efficient for us

1:08:23.320 --> 1:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>to use what it came to energy, doesn't he think

1:08:24.960 --> 1:08:27.240
<v Speaker 1>that he'd be using it. I mean, this is the

1:08:27.240 --> 1:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>guy he will remember on tape before he ran for

1:08:29.720 --> 1:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>president said you know, under my plan, electricity would skyrocket

1:08:33.640 --> 1:08:37.559
<v Speaker 1>and price. He doesn't seem to understand that energy is

1:08:37.720 --> 1:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the lifeblood of a modern economy and that when you

1:08:41.400 --> 1:08:46.759
<v Speaker 1>put unnecessary pressures upward pressures on the price of energy,

1:08:47.200 --> 1:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you're hurting everything. You're making poor people pay more for

1:08:50.200 --> 1:08:52.599
<v Speaker 1>their food, You're poor people paying more for their heat,

1:08:52.640 --> 1:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody's paying more for stuff. It's just not a good idea.

1:08:58.360 --> 1:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>But instead of recognizing and dealing with the truth here,

1:09:03.200 --> 1:09:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and the truth being that there are very clear reasons

1:09:07.680 --> 1:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>why we have not gone to renewables the way that

1:09:10.040 --> 1:09:11.680
<v Speaker 1>left wants us to do, and by the way, they've

1:09:11.720 --> 1:09:14.679
<v Speaker 1>thrown so much the way as subsidies. And you guys, remember, Celendra,

1:09:15.360 --> 1:09:18.839
<v Speaker 1>that giant Obama era boondoggle, hundreds of millions of dollars

1:09:18.840 --> 1:09:22.200
<v Speaker 1>in taxpayer guarantees to a solar company that was get

1:09:22.200 --> 1:09:26.479
<v Speaker 1>ready for it losing money on every transaction it did,

1:09:27.479 --> 1:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>but it was gonna what make it up on volume.

1:09:29.400 --> 1:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>That's like the old joke, we're losing money, but we're

1:09:30.920 --> 1:09:32.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna make it up on volume. You know, we lose

1:09:32.960 --> 1:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>money on every unit, but the more we sell the oh,

1:09:35.760 --> 1:09:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the more the more money you lose. Right, Celendra was

1:09:37.920 --> 1:09:41.479
<v Speaker 1>selling at a loss, and that's how you can lose

1:09:41.600 --> 1:09:45.120
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of millions of dollars running an energy company. And

1:09:45.160 --> 1:09:50.160
<v Speaker 1>whatever was twenty eleven. And I just think it's interesting that,

1:09:50.920 --> 1:09:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, they can actually deal with the argument from

1:09:53.680 --> 1:09:56.720
<v Speaker 1>our side, which is by the way, we are decarbonizing

1:09:56.760 --> 1:09:59.439
<v Speaker 1>as a globe and as a society. If you look

1:09:59.479 --> 1:10:01.599
<v Speaker 1>at the history free of energy, but if one actually

1:10:01.640 --> 1:10:04.920
<v Speaker 1>took the time as I have to read about the

1:10:05.000 --> 1:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>history of fossil fuel exploration and how energy has powered

1:10:08.840 --> 1:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>economies in the modern era, what you find out is

1:10:12.080 --> 1:10:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that we've gone from highly carbon intensive, highly inefficient sources

1:10:18.200 --> 1:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of fuel burning wood burning, whale fat, you know, you know,

1:10:23.640 --> 1:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you go through you know, kerosene and and then coal

1:10:27.960 --> 1:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>and then gas, and now we're at liquefied natural gas.

1:10:31.080 --> 1:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're getting cleaner as we or just natural

1:10:34.280 --> 1:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>gas in general, cleaner as we go along in terms

1:10:37.000 --> 1:10:42.800
<v Speaker 1>of emissions and more efficiency and greater abundancy. And this

1:10:42.920 --> 1:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>is something that should be celebrated. But instead, you know,

1:10:45.120 --> 1:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you get Obama making a snarky comment and he's he's

1:10:47.960 --> 1:10:51.439
<v Speaker 1>just parading ignorance on this. It's just not true that

1:10:51.479 --> 1:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>there is feasible technology to drop global carbon emissions by

1:10:55.479 --> 1:10:59.519
<v Speaker 1>thirty percent that is cost effective that we could do,

1:10:59.840 --> 1:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>and that would buy us forty years of you know,

1:11:02.800 --> 1:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>leeway for other technologies to deal with climate change, which

1:11:06.280 --> 1:11:08.479
<v Speaker 1>isn't even a threat we have to deal with. You.

1:11:08.680 --> 1:11:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I want to come back in another

1:11:10.120 --> 1:11:11.960
<v Speaker 1>life and have everybody treat me like I'm a genius

1:11:11.960 --> 1:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>when I don't know what I'm talking about. That that

1:11:13.680 --> 1:11:16.880
<v Speaker 1>would be That would be really cool, you know, and

1:11:16.920 --> 1:11:18.840
<v Speaker 1>no one ever is allowed to tell you otherwise, or

1:11:18.840 --> 1:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>else they're gonna be shouted down and everyone's gonna say

1:11:21.280 --> 1:11:24.639
<v Speaker 1>they're a terrible person. That would be nice. That means,

1:11:24.640 --> 1:11:26.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Obama had that for eight years. You just

1:11:26.520 --> 1:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>say stuff, tell stuff that wasn't true, Say stuff that's

1:11:29.880 --> 1:11:34.559
<v Speaker 1>just inaccurate, you know, share opinions as other fact. And

1:11:34.600 --> 1:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>it was getting backstop by the media all the time.

1:11:36.720 --> 1:11:38.560
<v Speaker 1>And I see here, I just say to myself, and

1:11:38.720 --> 1:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>how do I get that gig where you're hailed as

1:11:42.000 --> 1:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>a genius when in reality a lot of your ideas

1:11:45.200 --> 1:11:50.639
<v Speaker 1>are either mediocre or subpar. But you know, he does,

1:11:50.800 --> 1:11:53.599
<v Speaker 1>he does sound convincing, I guess to lives and so

1:11:53.680 --> 1:11:57.599
<v Speaker 1>that's that's really all it takes. Sometimes, do you need

1:11:57.680 --> 1:12:02.639

1:12:58.240 --> 1:13:00.559
<v Speaker 1>it like to be on the front line of the

1:13:00.600 --> 1:13:05.200
<v Speaker 1>battle against the Islamic State? What were the sights and

1:13:05.320 --> 1:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>sounds and how how was it to be there trying

1:13:08.840 --> 1:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>to assist the Iraqis in taking back their country after

1:13:13.200 --> 1:13:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the rise of Isis. We have an author who can

1:13:16.080 --> 1:13:19.360
<v Speaker 1>tell us all about this. Ephraim Mattas is with us now.

1:13:19.439 --> 1:13:23.200
<v Speaker 1>He is the author of City of Death Humanitarian Warriors

1:13:23.200 --> 1:13:25.559
<v Speaker 1>in the Battle of Mosel, which you can get Nowlason.

1:13:26.400 --> 1:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>It's out in bookstores as well. He's a former Navy seal. Ephram,

1:13:30.240 --> 1:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for joining us. Thanks for having me.

1:13:33.280 --> 1:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Buck appreciate it. So, man, tell me, you come out

1:13:38.120 --> 1:13:39.759
<v Speaker 1>of the Navy, you come out of the Navy seals

1:13:40.160 --> 1:13:42.599
<v Speaker 1>and you decide that you're going to join a very

1:13:42.760 --> 1:13:47.720
<v Speaker 1>very special unit fighting the Islamic State in northwestern Iraq. Well,

1:13:47.720 --> 1:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>what happened here? How'd you do this? Well so, actually,

1:13:51.640 --> 1:13:54.680
<v Speaker 1>so I left the Navy early last year, and my

1:13:55.479 --> 1:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>thought was not necessarily to do the whole combat thing.

1:13:58.240 --> 1:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't that wasn't my intention. My intention was to

1:14:01.280 --> 1:14:04.479
<v Speaker 1>do humanitarian work. And the guys that I joined up with,

1:14:04.560 --> 1:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I volunteered with, were the Free Burma Rangers, and they

1:14:08.360 --> 1:14:12.280
<v Speaker 1>were working in northern Iraq doing humanitarian stuff and doing

1:14:12.760 --> 1:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>medical things as well. They were armed, they were working

1:14:14.760 --> 1:14:16.760
<v Speaker 1>with the Iraqi Army, and I just figured it was

1:14:16.800 --> 1:14:19.160
<v Speaker 1>a good place for me, as a former seal to

1:14:19.360 --> 1:14:20.960
<v Speaker 1>go and help and do some good in this world.

1:14:21.439 --> 1:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>And during that during that time, the Iraqi Army unit

1:14:24.880 --> 1:14:27.479
<v Speaker 1>that we were attached to, who we would we would

1:14:27.479 --> 1:14:30.479
<v Speaker 1>feed the civilians and help the civilians and treat treat

1:14:30.520 --> 1:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the wounded. Every time they cleared a new village or

1:14:33.000 --> 1:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>something like that. That same unit was ordered to attack

1:14:37.560 --> 1:14:41.240
<v Speaker 1>West Moosle And so what what went from a humanitarian mission,

1:14:41.560 --> 1:14:43.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, ninety five percent of the time went to

1:14:43.680 --> 1:14:46.360
<v Speaker 1>a full on you know, we basically transitioned into being

1:14:46.439 --> 1:14:53.320
<v Speaker 1>full on combat medics for the assault into Mosul, and

1:14:53.400 --> 1:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean that was some of the toughest fighting of

1:14:55.920 --> 1:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the entire certainly in the Iraqi side of the of

1:14:58.120 --> 1:15:01.639
<v Speaker 1>the equation of the entire fight against the Islamic State.

1:15:02.800 --> 1:15:05.920
<v Speaker 1>What was it like being being with those near those

1:15:05.960 --> 1:15:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Iraqi units and and being right there beside them as

1:15:09.560 --> 1:15:11.240
<v Speaker 1>they're going house to house door a door. I mean,

1:15:11.320 --> 1:15:14.280
<v Speaker 1>what tell us about that? What I assume was a healthscape.

1:15:14.320 --> 1:15:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I've seen some video by the way of you, f Rahim,

1:15:17.080 --> 1:15:20.280
<v Speaker 1>when you're actually out there on the battlefield. I mean,

1:15:20.280 --> 1:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>actually there's a video of you online where you actually

1:15:22.280 --> 1:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>got wounded. So I mean you were right there in

1:15:23.880 --> 1:15:27.519
<v Speaker 1>the action. What was it like to see all this Well,

1:15:27.680 --> 1:15:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what, man, it was. It was really

1:15:30.000 --> 1:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of surreal, right. So I talked about

1:15:32.040 --> 1:15:34.680
<v Speaker 1>it in the book City of Death, where, um, you know,

1:15:34.680 --> 1:15:37.639
<v Speaker 1>I leave the seals right this this elite unit, where

1:15:37.640 --> 1:15:40.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the top you know, uh close quarter combat

1:15:40.400 --> 1:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>units in the world. Um, you know, incredibly elite, tight knit.

1:15:44.080 --> 1:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>We have everything is you know, we have standard tactics,

1:15:47.160 --> 1:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff, great equipment, and I go from that

1:15:50.120 --> 1:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>to just total chaos on the battlefield. Right. So what's

1:15:53.920 --> 1:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>it like working with the Iraqis they fight a war

1:15:57.280 --> 1:15:59.720
<v Speaker 1>was very different than we do. Their soldiers are ten

1:16:00.160 --> 1:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>ten days on ten days off, none of them really

1:16:02.920 --> 1:16:06.400
<v Speaker 1>have body armor on. UM. They only fight after, you know,

1:16:06.439 --> 1:16:09.160
<v Speaker 1>their morning tea and then they usually break for dinner

1:16:09.200 --> 1:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>and then that's it, you know, and so they don't

1:16:11.320 --> 1:16:14.519
<v Speaker 1>do any night fighting. It was a very very strange thing.

1:16:14.640 --> 1:16:18.120
<v Speaker 1>They're in comparison to the US forces. They're very disorganized

1:16:18.160 --> 1:16:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and all that. So it was very chaotic. It was

1:16:20.160 --> 1:16:22.599
<v Speaker 1>extremely chaotic, if you want to know what it was like. UM.

1:16:22.680 --> 1:16:24.479
<v Speaker 1>But I will also say this though, two about the

1:16:24.479 --> 1:16:27.400
<v Speaker 1>individual Iraqi soldiers. And this isn't necessarily an endorsement of

1:16:27.400 --> 1:16:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the Iraqi government, but the individual Iraqi soldiers were incredibly brave.

1:16:31.439 --> 1:16:33.639
<v Speaker 1>I was. I was actually very surprised to see that

1:16:34.000 --> 1:16:37.639
<v Speaker 1>these guys were were we were laying down their lives

1:16:37.680 --> 1:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>to rescue um. You know, Sunni Muslims, and most of

1:16:40.840 --> 1:16:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the guys in the in the that we were working

1:16:43.080 --> 1:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>with were Shia, and they were They were incredibly kind

1:16:46.240 --> 1:16:49.439
<v Speaker 1>to the civilians. They were even kind to their ISIS captors.

1:16:49.439 --> 1:16:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I never saw any We saw lots of ISIS prisoners,

1:16:52.960 --> 1:16:56.360
<v Speaker 1>but I never saw any um mistreatment of those guys.

1:16:56.840 --> 1:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>And it was it was quite an interesting experience living

1:16:59.880 --> 1:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>in working directly with the iraqis holding security with them

1:17:03.000 --> 1:17:06.519
<v Speaker 1>at night, holding the line with them when ICE's counterattacks. Um,

1:17:06.560 --> 1:17:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and I talked about all that stuff in the book

1:17:08.240 --> 1:17:10.880
<v Speaker 1>The City of Death, and they're just really really really

1:17:10.920 --> 1:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>great human beings honestly, and I'm not saying that casually

1:17:14.600 --> 1:17:17.400
<v Speaker 1>sounds cliche, but they truly are, Like they're really Um yeah,

1:17:17.400 --> 1:17:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how did they How do they receive you?

1:17:19.200 --> 1:17:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm assuming they must have been pretty darn

1:17:22.120 --> 1:17:24.720
<v Speaker 1>grateful that somebody, especially with your skill set, shows up

1:17:24.720 --> 1:17:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, I'm gonna I'm gonna help you take

1:17:26.360 --> 1:17:28.439
<v Speaker 1>back your country just because I think it's the right

1:17:28.479 --> 1:17:33.280
<v Speaker 1>thing to do. Yeah. Absolutely, these guys were incredibly gracious. Um,

1:17:33.920 --> 1:17:36.120
<v Speaker 1>they were. It was It was funny when I first

1:17:36.160 --> 1:17:38.400
<v Speaker 1>showed up, the other guys I'm on the Free Bremer

1:17:38.479 --> 1:17:40.559
<v Speaker 1>Rangers team had already been there for a couple of months,

1:17:40.840 --> 1:17:42.680
<v Speaker 1>and so I sort of showed up and the other

1:17:42.680 --> 1:17:45.760
<v Speaker 1>guys on the on the team were former special a

1:17:45.760 --> 1:17:48.280
<v Speaker 1>couple of Special Forces guys and a couple of former Marines,

1:17:49.160 --> 1:17:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and so so when I showed up, I was still

1:17:52.160 --> 1:17:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I was literally fresh out of the fresh out of

1:17:54.360 --> 1:17:56.600
<v Speaker 1>the seal teams. M I left and literally got a

1:17:56.640 --> 1:17:59.400
<v Speaker 1>flight directly and flew directly to Iraq. Like I was

1:17:59.439 --> 1:18:02.400
<v Speaker 1>still technic in the Navy, but I was on leave,

1:18:03.000 --> 1:18:05.719
<v Speaker 1>on terminal leave when I went to Iraq. It's usually

1:18:05.720 --> 1:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>not what I think people do when they're on leave,

1:18:07.320 --> 1:18:11.400
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, I go ahead, no no um. And so yeah,

1:18:11.439 --> 1:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>when I when I flew to Iraq, I when I

1:18:13.240 --> 1:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>started working with these guys, my guard was still very

1:18:16.120 --> 1:18:17.800
<v Speaker 1>much up. You know, I always had my hand on

1:18:17.840 --> 1:18:20.559
<v Speaker 1>my rifle. I was always you know, kind of had

1:18:20.600 --> 1:18:24.040
<v Speaker 1>my standoffish and just I was thinking very tactically and

1:18:24.080 --> 1:18:25.479
<v Speaker 1>I had to, like I had to really let my

1:18:25.520 --> 1:18:27.559
<v Speaker 1>guard down and learn that I could trust these guys.

1:18:27.720 --> 1:18:29.639
<v Speaker 1>And I talk about that in the book City of Death,

1:18:29.680 --> 1:18:33.599
<v Speaker 1>where you know, I'm first mingling with these Iraqi soldiers

1:18:33.640 --> 1:18:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and they're they're so to answer your question, they were

1:18:35.320 --> 1:18:37.519
<v Speaker 1>a little bit standoffish at first because I was acting

1:18:37.560 --> 1:18:42.000
<v Speaker 1>different and they didn't understand why I was acting all tactical,

1:18:42.040 --> 1:18:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, so I had to kind of cool it

1:18:44.760 --> 1:18:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and become a little bit more comfortable around them. But

1:18:46.760 --> 1:18:50.760
<v Speaker 1>once that happened, they were incredibly gracious, incredibly kind to us. Um.

1:18:51.160 --> 1:18:52.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, we didn't even speak the same language. But

1:18:52.720 --> 1:18:54.240
<v Speaker 1>these guys would come hang out with us and like

1:18:54.240 --> 1:18:56.479
<v Speaker 1>whatever room we were sleeping in, and they just come

1:18:56.520 --> 1:18:59.000
<v Speaker 1>hang out and they're sitting there all talking in Arabic

1:18:59.000 --> 1:19:01.240
<v Speaker 1>and we're just sitting there talking in English and everybody's

1:19:01.240 --> 1:19:03.880
<v Speaker 1>just laughing and having a good time. It was very

1:19:04.160 --> 1:19:07.120
<v Speaker 1>quite quite the surreal experience. Yeah, what can you tell

1:19:07.160 --> 1:19:09.400
<v Speaker 1>me about the about the enemy side of the equation?

1:19:09.439 --> 1:19:11.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what did you what did you see from

1:19:11.560 --> 1:19:13.760
<v Speaker 1>them in terms of tactics, in terms of their their

1:19:13.800 --> 1:19:17.600
<v Speaker 1>skill level on the battlefield, and also obviously the aftermath

1:19:17.680 --> 1:19:20.599
<v Speaker 1>of the atrocities and the violence they committed against civilians.

1:19:20.600 --> 1:19:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just you know, give us a picture of

1:19:22.040 --> 1:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>what the other side of the battle feels like. Oh man,

1:19:25.400 --> 1:19:28.280
<v Speaker 1>So I'll tell you what I thought to give you comparison.

1:19:28.320 --> 1:19:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I fought the Taliban in Afghanistan, um and I'll tell

1:19:32.120 --> 1:19:35.439
<v Speaker 1>you what, man, this fighting ISIS was an entirely different animal,

1:19:35.479 --> 1:19:38.240
<v Speaker 1>not just because we didn't have air support and whatever else,

1:19:38.400 --> 1:19:41.760
<v Speaker 1>but the ISIS, the ISIS fighters were honestly, they were

1:19:41.800 --> 1:19:43.800
<v Speaker 1>they were good. They were really good. And by the

1:19:43.840 --> 1:19:46.320
<v Speaker 1>time we were pushing into West Mosel, sort of at

1:19:46.360 --> 1:19:48.559
<v Speaker 1>the end of the Caliphe. That was their last stand,

1:19:48.640 --> 1:19:52.240
<v Speaker 1>right that West Mosele was their Alamo. Um, you know,

1:19:52.360 --> 1:19:54.200
<v Speaker 1>all all the dumb ones were already dead, you know

1:19:54.240 --> 1:19:56.679
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, like all the guys you know they

1:19:56.760 --> 1:20:00.599
<v Speaker 1>were they had already been wiped out, and so it

1:20:00.640 --> 1:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>was extremely difficult to spot an ISIS fighter in the

1:20:04.400 --> 1:20:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in the urban sprawl of what was going on. Um.

1:20:07.160 --> 1:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I think I think I only saw one confirmed ISIS

1:20:11.240 --> 1:20:14.680
<v Speaker 1>fighter who popped out and fired an RPG. Um. You know,

1:20:14.720 --> 1:20:17.439
<v Speaker 1>And because they would hide, they would they had I

1:20:17.479 --> 1:20:20.080
<v Speaker 1>think three years to prepare Mosle for this offensive, so

1:20:20.400 --> 1:20:22.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, they'd be two three rooms deep in these

1:20:22.520 --> 1:20:25.000
<v Speaker 1>buildings they had. They were shooting from all kinds of

1:20:25.080 --> 1:20:28.200
<v Speaker 1>hidden vantage points, and it was it was absolutely terrifying.

1:20:28.200 --> 1:20:30.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know, of course they know what streets we

1:20:30.439 --> 1:20:32.200
<v Speaker 1>have to go down, so those are all mined and

1:20:32.200 --> 1:20:35.920
<v Speaker 1>booby trapped, and they'd use suicide bombers, car bombs, you

1:20:36.040 --> 1:20:38.519
<v Speaker 1>name it. And it was. It was insane. And a

1:20:38.560 --> 1:20:40.519
<v Speaker 1>couple of other things that were interesting about this fight

1:20:40.600 --> 1:20:44.479
<v Speaker 1>were the Islamic State fighters that were there. One they

1:20:44.560 --> 1:20:46.680
<v Speaker 1>knew it was the last battle, so they were not

1:20:46.680 --> 1:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to say of ammunition and to a lot of

1:20:49.320 --> 1:20:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the Islamic State fighters. This was a very interesting thing.

1:20:51.960 --> 1:20:53.759
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the bodies that we found of guys

1:20:54.320 --> 1:20:56.879
<v Speaker 1>of Islamic State fighters that we killed during the assault,

1:20:57.200 --> 1:21:00.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them were European guys. A lot of

1:21:00.240 --> 1:21:04.200
<v Speaker 1>them were white, you know, Chechens and things like that. Yeah,

1:21:04.240 --> 1:21:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and we'd find we'd find handbooks and korans and sniper

1:21:08.320 --> 1:21:11.479
<v Speaker 1>handbooks and stuff like that written in Russian. And the

1:21:12.280 --> 1:21:15.000
<v Speaker 1>reason for that was because the other Islamic State fighters

1:21:15.040 --> 1:21:18.240
<v Speaker 1>were trying to and some of them successfully did escape

1:21:18.240 --> 1:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>with the civilian crowds that were fleeing. You know, they

1:21:21.400 --> 1:21:23.040
<v Speaker 1>shaved their beard and they try to blend in as

1:21:23.040 --> 1:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>best they could with the crowds. The crowd a lot

1:21:25.000 --> 1:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>of times would point them out to us, but the

1:21:27.400 --> 1:21:29.479
<v Speaker 1>white guys were not able to They weren't able to

1:21:29.520 --> 1:21:31.479
<v Speaker 1>do that. The white Islamic State flighters were not able

1:21:31.520 --> 1:21:33.160
<v Speaker 1>to do that. So a lot of the guys that

1:21:33.200 --> 1:21:35.920
<v Speaker 1>we came across were um were those guys. And then

1:21:35.960 --> 1:21:38.400
<v Speaker 1>they also again the final point is that they knew

1:21:38.400 --> 1:21:39.760
<v Speaker 1>they were going to die. They knew they were going

1:21:39.800 --> 1:21:41.639
<v Speaker 1>to die, and they knew they were going to be martyred.

1:21:41.840 --> 1:21:44.400
<v Speaker 1>So no matter no matter what they did. You know,

1:21:44.400 --> 1:21:46.880
<v Speaker 1>according to their beliefs, they were going to go to heaven, right,

1:21:47.200 --> 1:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>So that's why, you know, you'd mentioned the day that

1:21:50.320 --> 1:21:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I got shot. You know, we were rescuing a girl

1:21:53.200 --> 1:21:56.400
<v Speaker 1>and a man from a pile of rotting bodies or

1:21:56.600 --> 1:21:58.639
<v Speaker 1>more than one hundred and fifty people have been slaughtered

1:21:58.640 --> 1:22:01.519
<v Speaker 1>in the street right in front of ISIS headquarters there

1:22:01.520 --> 1:22:03.880
<v Speaker 1>in West Mosle, and they were you know, the ISIS

1:22:03.960 --> 1:22:06.639
<v Speaker 1>guys had no problem doing that because you know, they're

1:22:06.640 --> 1:22:08.280
<v Speaker 1>going to be martyred and go to heaven anyway, and

1:22:08.400 --> 1:22:11.320
<v Speaker 1>these people are apostates, so they are able to do that.

1:22:11.360 --> 1:22:14.760
<v Speaker 1>So the level of cruelty was insane, but they're also

1:22:14.800 --> 1:22:18.280
<v Speaker 1>their sophistication was also incredible. One final point, they were

1:22:18.320 --> 1:22:22.320
<v Speaker 1>also making their own ammunition, like RPG ammunition. They were

1:22:22.360 --> 1:22:26.080
<v Speaker 1>making one time use rockets and like little factories in

1:22:26.200 --> 1:22:28.479
<v Speaker 1>random buildings all throughout Mosile, which I didn't even think

1:22:28.520 --> 1:22:30.720
<v Speaker 1>was possible, but they'd figured out how to do it,

1:22:30.760 --> 1:22:34.639
<v Speaker 1>and they were doing it literally like factory made RPG

1:22:34.880 --> 1:22:38.280
<v Speaker 1>rounds and launcher tubes and all this stuff, so incredibly sophisticated,

1:22:38.439 --> 1:22:41.840
<v Speaker 1>incredibly ruthless, and it was an honor to be a

1:22:41.880 --> 1:22:44.479
<v Speaker 1>part of dealing with it, because you know, this was

1:22:44.520 --> 1:22:46.880
<v Speaker 1>this is my generation's Nazis. You know, like if you

1:22:46.960 --> 1:22:49.280
<v Speaker 1>had been alive, if we had been alive during you know,

1:22:49.320 --> 1:22:51.400
<v Speaker 1>World War Two, it would have been amazing to contribute

1:22:51.439 --> 1:22:53.519
<v Speaker 1>to the downfall of the Nazis. Right, well, this is

1:22:53.520 --> 1:22:56.920
<v Speaker 1>our generation's channel of the Islamic state is a death cult.

1:22:57.360 --> 1:23:02.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a genocidal mass race being death cult. And yeah,

1:23:02.720 --> 1:23:05.320
<v Speaker 1>well it's you know, and it's something that you know,

1:23:05.479 --> 1:23:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's a good reminder for everybody out there.

1:23:07.840 --> 1:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, fram one question for you. I know you

1:23:10.240 --> 1:23:13.479
<v Speaker 1>were a seal, I know you fought in Afghanisan when

1:23:13.479 --> 1:23:15.719
<v Speaker 1>you're in the midst of this, and it's pretty incredible

1:23:15.760 --> 1:23:19.479
<v Speaker 1>that there are videos of you in Mosul running to

1:23:19.479 --> 1:23:22.000
<v Speaker 1>people who have been wounded. You got wounded yourself. You know,

1:23:22.040 --> 1:23:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you've got what are you carrying in ak and you're

1:23:24.120 --> 1:23:25.800
<v Speaker 1>running around, You're doing all these things. You've got some

1:23:25.840 --> 1:23:29.719
<v Speaker 1>Americans with, You've got some uh, some Iraqis in view.

1:23:30.400 --> 1:23:32.920
<v Speaker 1>What do you I mean, are you just completely focused

1:23:32.920 --> 1:23:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the task at hand? I mean, are do you ever

1:23:34.479 --> 1:23:37.439
<v Speaker 1>break psychologically in a moment you just say, oh my gosh,

1:23:37.439 --> 1:23:38.880
<v Speaker 1>what the heck am I doing here? And then go

1:23:38.960 --> 1:23:43.439
<v Speaker 1>back into go back into your training or yes, that's

1:23:43.439 --> 1:23:45.920
<v Speaker 1>an excellent question. So one of the things that I

1:23:45.960 --> 1:23:48.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about in City of Death, and one of the

1:23:48.600 --> 1:23:50.439
<v Speaker 1>things I wanted to make I didn't want this to

1:23:50.479 --> 1:23:53.000
<v Speaker 1>be another Seal book, right, there's there's dozens of Seal

1:23:53.040 --> 1:23:54.559
<v Speaker 1>books out there. I didn't want this to be that

1:23:54.640 --> 1:23:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I talk a little bit about my time in the Seal,

1:23:56.560 --> 1:23:58.720
<v Speaker 1>but I wanted this to be a very open and

1:23:58.880 --> 1:24:01.200
<v Speaker 1>realistic portrait of what it's like to be in this fighting.

1:24:01.200 --> 1:24:03.679
<v Speaker 1>And So to answer your question, and I talked about

1:24:03.720 --> 1:24:06.479
<v Speaker 1>it in the book City of Death, is Yes, absolutely

1:24:06.479 --> 1:24:09.800
<v Speaker 1>there was times I completely lost my composure. On the

1:24:09.840 --> 1:24:11.840
<v Speaker 1>first day of the assault into West Mosle, which I

1:24:11.880 --> 1:24:14.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't even know we were assaulting into West Mosel that day.

1:24:14.080 --> 1:24:15.439
<v Speaker 1>I thought we were just kind of moving forward a

1:24:15.439 --> 1:24:19.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit. I literally broke down and started weeping as

1:24:19.400 --> 1:24:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I held this little girl's hand who had been shot

1:24:21.120 --> 1:24:23.960
<v Speaker 1>in the face, and you know that the other medics

1:24:24.000 --> 1:24:25.719
<v Speaker 1>were working on her, that the real medics are working

1:24:25.760 --> 1:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>on her, and there's nothing I could do to help her.

1:24:28.160 --> 1:24:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I just held her hand and just was like I

1:24:30.840 --> 1:24:32.960
<v Speaker 1>just hope that she would survive. And I just began weeping.

1:24:33.160 --> 1:24:36.120
<v Speaker 1>And I've never lost my composure before, you know, in combat.

1:24:36.479 --> 1:24:39.880
<v Speaker 1>And then that same exact night, Isis counterattacked and we

1:24:39.960 --> 1:24:42.080
<v Speaker 1>our position was hit with the seven or eight rockets

1:24:42.360 --> 1:24:45.120
<v Speaker 1>are RPG like direct hits within a matter of ten minutes.

1:24:45.120 --> 1:24:47.400
<v Speaker 1>It was insane the amount of firepower that was coming

1:24:47.400 --> 1:24:49.960
<v Speaker 1>back at us. And yet we were all like, dude,

1:24:49.960 --> 1:24:52.519
<v Speaker 1>what are we doing here? We're potentially going to die tonight.

1:24:52.800 --> 1:24:55.080
<v Speaker 1>And we all had to make that decision. And I

1:24:55.080 --> 1:24:57.080
<v Speaker 1>know I certainly did. I really internalized it, and I

1:24:57.120 --> 1:24:59.400
<v Speaker 1>was like, dude, I am I willing to die for

1:24:59.400 --> 1:25:02.160
<v Speaker 1>these Iraqi people? Am I willing to die to hold

1:25:02.160 --> 1:25:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the line with the Iraqi army? You know? And these

1:25:04.080 --> 1:25:07.439
<v Speaker 1>guys aren't even you know, fighting back effectively. And yeah,

1:25:07.840 --> 1:25:09.760
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of introspection. There was a lot

1:25:09.760 --> 1:25:11.720
<v Speaker 1>of I don't have to be here. I paid my

1:25:11.720 --> 1:25:14.120
<v Speaker 1>own way to be there. I wasn't paid to be there,

1:25:14.160 --> 1:25:15.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, I had to buy my own plane ticket.

1:25:16.920 --> 1:25:19.240
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, so there was a lot of introspection. And

1:25:19.240 --> 1:25:20.880
<v Speaker 1>then the day that I was wounded, the day that

1:25:20.880 --> 1:25:22.920
<v Speaker 1>we went on that mission, you know, we were talking

1:25:22.960 --> 1:25:24.960
<v Speaker 1>about it before and afterwards. The guys that were on

1:25:25.000 --> 1:25:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the mission, the former Special Forces guy's name is David Ubank,

1:25:29.160 --> 1:25:30.960
<v Speaker 1>he's the founder of Free Brommer Rangers. And then my

1:25:31.000 --> 1:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>other buddy, Sky Barkley, former marine. You know, we've been

1:25:34.880 --> 1:25:37.080
<v Speaker 1>talking before we went out into this mission. We were like, dude,

1:25:37.080 --> 1:25:39.439
<v Speaker 1>we're going to die. You know, there was it was,

1:25:39.600 --> 1:25:42.479
<v Speaker 1>it was that bad. We were going directly into Isis territory.

1:25:42.760 --> 1:25:45.920
<v Speaker 1>They had the high ground on the flanks, and luckily

1:25:45.960 --> 1:25:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the US military commanders we called them, are that David

1:25:49.960 --> 1:25:53.559
<v Speaker 1>Ubank called them, and they they agreed to give us

1:25:53.600 --> 1:25:56.719
<v Speaker 1>a smoke screen. So they literally fired an artillery barrage

1:25:56.960 --> 1:25:59.519
<v Speaker 1>smoke screen to kind of blind the enemy a little bit,

1:26:00.360 --> 1:26:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and we ran behind it in a rocky Army tank

1:26:02.360 --> 1:26:05.280
<v Speaker 1>straight into the straight into the fray. They started dropping

1:26:05.320 --> 1:26:07.680
<v Speaker 1>mortars and opened up on us with machine guns and

1:26:07.760 --> 1:26:09.559
<v Speaker 1>we were able to get you know, two people out.

1:26:09.720 --> 1:26:11.880
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, there's a ton of introspection, um and I

1:26:11.920 --> 1:26:14.360
<v Speaker 1>talk about it in detail in the book, and a

1:26:14.400 --> 1:26:16.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of the feedback that people have been giving me

1:26:16.479 --> 1:26:18.280
<v Speaker 1>from the book as they're like, thank you for being honest,

1:26:18.280 --> 1:26:21.320
<v Speaker 1>thank you for telling what it's really like being there,

1:26:21.600 --> 1:26:23.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, because I don't. I don't. I don't. I'm

1:26:23.120 --> 1:26:24.880
<v Speaker 1>not trying to be some big tough guy because I'm not.

1:26:24.960 --> 1:26:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm really not. I'm just a normal human being who

1:26:28.040 --> 1:26:31.200
<v Speaker 1>wants to who wants to help people. And yeah, so

1:26:31.320 --> 1:26:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I discussed all those fears and all those all those doubts,

1:26:34.960 --> 1:26:36.280
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of that was what the heck am

1:26:36.280 --> 1:26:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I doing? Man? You know there's a well, fra you're

1:26:38.760 --> 1:26:41.240
<v Speaker 1>a warrior, and you're a courageous and principal guy, man,

<v Speaker 1>And thank you for your service to this country, and

1:26:42.960 --> 1:26:46.160

1:27:01.479 --> 1:27:04.080
<v Speaker 1>in fact, a difficult few months. You know why people

1:27:04.080 --> 1:27:06.599
<v Speaker 1>are figuring out that there's a lot of left wing

1:27:06.680 --> 1:27:09.959
<v Speaker 1>nonsense going on at that company, a lot of tilting

1:27:09.960 --> 1:27:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the conversation away from conservatism and toward progressivism using algorithms

1:27:15.280 --> 1:27:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and terms of service policy, all kinds of stuff. You

1:27:18.400 --> 1:27:20.920

1:27:20.960 --> 1:27:23.799

1:28:03.080 --> 1:28:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Even though peas and carrots have received a presidential pardon,

1:28:07.760 --> 1:28:11.559
<v Speaker 1>I have warned them that House Democrats are likely to

1:28:11.720 --> 1:28:19.400
<v Speaker 1>issue them both subpoenas. Nonetheless, in the spirit of Thanksgiving,

1:28:20.160 --> 1:28:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I will be issuing both peas and carrots a presidential pardon. Unfortunately,

1:28:28.160 --> 1:28:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't guarantee that your pardons won't be enjoined by

1:28:31.880 --> 1:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the Ninth Circuit always happens. They're guaranteed. It's kind of funny, right,

1:28:39.400 --> 1:28:43.400
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of funny. You know. I gotta say, I

1:28:43.400 --> 1:28:47.120
<v Speaker 1>don't really that's obviously from Trump pardoning the turkey today.

1:28:47.240 --> 1:28:52.599
<v Speaker 1>The ceremony apparently goes back to the nineteen forties. And

1:28:53.479 --> 1:28:55.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's been a thing for a while here,

1:28:56.400 --> 1:29:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and during George HW. Bush's first Thanksgiving US president, there's

1:29:02.840 --> 1:29:06.200
<v Speaker 1>been this tradition for the president to pardon the turkey.

1:29:07.240 --> 1:29:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't what is hold on to say? Here we go.

1:29:09.439 --> 1:29:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Here's the white House history dot org pardoning the Thanksgiving turkey.

1:29:13.360 --> 1:29:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Here's what it says. The official pardnering of White House

1:29:15.960 --> 1:29:19.000
<v Speaker 1>turkeys is an interesting White House tradition that has captured

1:29:19.000 --> 1:29:21.799
<v Speaker 1>the imagination of the public. And I wouldn't go that far, buddy.

1:29:21.840 --> 1:29:25.360
<v Speaker 1>In recent years, it's often stated that President Lincoln's eighteen

1:29:25.439 --> 1:29:28.360
<v Speaker 1>sixty three clemency to a turkey, recorded in an eighteen

1:29:28.479 --> 1:29:32.000
<v Speaker 1>sixty five dispatch by White House supporter Noah Brooks, was

1:29:32.080 --> 1:29:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the origin for the pardoning ceremony. Reports of turkeys's gift

1:29:36.000 --> 1:29:39.000
<v Speaker 1>to American presidents can be traced to the eighteen seventies,

1:29:39.280 --> 1:29:44.000
<v Speaker 1>when Rhode Island poultry dealer Horace Vose began sending well

1:29:44.080 --> 1:29:47.479
<v Speaker 1>fed birds to the White House. The first families did

1:29:47.520 --> 1:29:50.599
<v Speaker 1>not always feast upon Voss turkeys, but the yearly offering

1:29:50.640 --> 1:29:54.280
<v Speaker 1>gained his farm widespread publicity and became a veritable institution

1:29:54.680 --> 1:29:58.200
<v Speaker 1>at the White House. At Thanksgiving nineteen thirteen at Turkey

1:29:58.200 --> 1:30:01.120
<v Speaker 1>come Lately from Kentucky, a few minutes of fame with

1:30:01.240 --> 1:30:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the fine feathered Rhode Islander. Soon after, in December, Horace

1:30:05.320 --> 1:30:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Vos died, thus ending an era. By nineteen fourteen, the

1:30:09.160 --> 1:30:11.679
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to give a turkey to a president was open

1:30:11.720 --> 1:30:16.440
<v Speaker 1>to everyone, and poultry gifts were frequently touched with patriotism, partisanship,

1:30:16.560 --> 1:30:20.439
<v Speaker 1>end glee. In nineteen twenty one, American Legion Post Front, Okay, etc.

1:30:20.760 --> 1:30:24.280
<v Speaker 1>We got a lot more here. Recently, White House mythmakers

1:30:24.360 --> 1:30:28.280
<v Speaker 1>claimed that President Truman began the tradition of partning a turkey. However,

1:30:28.360 --> 1:30:33.920
<v Speaker 1>the Truman Library disputes this. Ninety nineteen forty eight Truman

1:30:33.920 --> 1:30:37.160
<v Speaker 1>except the two turkeys coming handy for Christmas Dinner nineteen

1:30:37.240 --> 1:30:41.360
<v Speaker 1>eighty one. The practice of sending the presentation turkey to

1:30:41.400 --> 1:30:45.439
<v Speaker 1>a farm became the norm under Ronald Reagan, the Turkey.

1:30:45.560 --> 1:30:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh eight, CNN did what playclip thirteen? John President Trump

1:30:52.439 --> 1:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>pardoning the Thanksgiving Turkey, the annual tradition peas the name

1:30:56.920 --> 1:31:00.720
<v Speaker 1>of this turkey, and just the most unusual potomy here

1:31:01.040 --> 1:31:03.960
<v Speaker 1>as this comes on the heels of a statement that

1:31:04.040 --> 1:31:07.600
<v Speaker 1>the President has put out essentially pardoning Saudi Arabia and

1:31:07.720 --> 1:31:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the crown Prince and the king there, despite what his

1:31:11.360 --> 1:31:14.880
<v Speaker 1>intel community is expected to put out in a report

1:31:14.960 --> 1:31:19.040
<v Speaker 1>today that Saudi Arabia is behind that these leaders of

1:31:19.080 --> 1:31:24.439
<v Speaker 1>Saudi Arabia are behind the killing of a Washington Post journalist. Wow,

1:31:24.560 --> 1:31:28.759
<v Speaker 1>what a forced transition there, Oh my gosh, the parting

1:31:28.840 --> 1:31:36.360
<v Speaker 1>of the turkey kind of like the partnering of Saudi Arabia. Wow, CNN,

1:31:36.080 --> 1:31:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you can do better than that. That is that was

1:31:40.240 --> 1:31:44.840
<v Speaker 1>really that was weak. That was weak. That's pretty funny.

1:31:45.400 --> 1:31:47.960
<v Speaker 1>But that's the Trump's not allowed to do anything without

1:31:48.000 --> 1:31:53.120
<v Speaker 1>it being an opening for criticism. Trump can't even pardon

1:31:53.200 --> 1:31:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the turkey without the pardoning of the turkey being used

1:31:56.320 --> 1:31:59.800
<v Speaker 1>against him, you know, the Emolument's clause or something with

1:32:00.000 --> 1:32:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the turkey. That's what it is. Yeah, that's the ticket.

1:32:05.000 --> 1:32:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Every year this topic comes up and I just don't

1:32:08.240 --> 1:32:12.559
<v Speaker 1>understand why how to have a conversation with your angry

1:32:12.720 --> 1:32:16.160
<v Speaker 1>uncle over Thanksgiving. That's what this New York Times piece

1:32:16.280 --> 1:32:19.320
<v Speaker 1>is called. And I see variations of this year in

1:32:19.360 --> 1:32:22.400
<v Speaker 1>and year out, you know. And here's what it says. Quote.

1:32:22.400 --> 1:32:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving is a beloved holiday because it's a time to

1:32:26.040 --> 1:32:29.200
<v Speaker 1>gather with relatives from afar. It's a dreaded holiday for

1:32:29.240 --> 1:32:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the same reason. Many of us aren't accustomed to socializing

1:32:32.240 --> 1:32:35.200
<v Speaker 1>with people who think differently from us, especially about politics.

1:32:35.640 --> 1:32:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Our political attitudes and beliefs are intertwined with our most

1:32:38.400 --> 1:32:42.240
<v Speaker 1>basic human needs, needs for safety, belonging, identity, self esteem,

1:32:42.240 --> 1:32:46.280
<v Speaker 1>and purpose. And when they're threatened, we're biologically wired to

1:32:46.320 --> 1:32:50.800
<v Speaker 1>respond as if we're in physical peril. No, no, false,

1:32:50.800 --> 1:32:53.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna stop right there. This is how liberals view things.

1:32:53.640 --> 1:32:56.120
<v Speaker 1>This is not how conservative view things. I don't view

1:32:56.160 --> 1:33:00.280
<v Speaker 1>my politics as essential to my safety, belonging, idea, entity,

1:33:00.320 --> 1:33:03.880
<v Speaker 1>self esteem, and purpose, not at all. In fact, I

1:33:04.000 --> 1:33:06.439
<v Speaker 1>view my politics says, hey, I think this is the

1:33:06.439 --> 1:33:08.120
<v Speaker 1>best way to get this thing that we're all trying

1:33:08.120 --> 1:33:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to get, or that I think we should all have,

1:33:10.040 --> 1:33:14.240
<v Speaker 1>or that is, you know, intrinsic to human nature. But

1:33:14.400 --> 1:33:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm open to debate it. I'm open to thinking about

1:33:16.800 --> 1:33:19.760
<v Speaker 1>it another way. And honestly, you know my opinion. No

1:33:19.800 --> 1:33:23.160
<v Speaker 1>one person's opinion matters all that much anyway. Past the gravy.

1:33:23.240 --> 1:33:25.920
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of how I feel about this stuff. But

1:33:26.080 --> 1:33:31.839
<v Speaker 1>they set up this angry uncle bot that that's supposed

1:33:31.880 --> 1:33:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to be kind of like a training a training module

1:33:35.120 --> 1:33:39.080
<v Speaker 1>for libs that have to deal with clearly with conservatives, right,

1:33:39.080 --> 1:33:41.160
<v Speaker 1>because conservatives are the ones that are going to be difficult.

1:33:41.200 --> 1:33:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Conservatives the one that they say are going to be

1:33:42.960 --> 1:33:45.759
<v Speaker 1>a problem. So he writes, Hey, it's the angry uncle bot.

1:33:46.160 --> 1:33:49.439
<v Speaker 1>I have lots of opinions, but what kind of uncle

1:33:49.439 --> 1:33:50.800
<v Speaker 1>bot do you want to chat with? Then you have

1:33:50.840 --> 1:33:54.080
<v Speaker 1>to reply, I'm more liberal, so I'll chat with conservative

1:33:54.160 --> 1:33:56.519
<v Speaker 1>uncle bot. And I'm more conservatives, so I'll chat with

1:33:56.520 --> 1:33:59.280
<v Speaker 1>liberal uncle bought. All right, So I click on I'm

1:33:59.560 --> 1:34:02.040
<v Speaker 1>more liberal, so I'll chat just because I want to

1:34:02.040 --> 1:34:05.040
<v Speaker 1>see what they say. Great. Let me tell you something.

1:34:05.320 --> 1:34:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Trump has been great for America. Just look at the economy.

1:34:09.000 --> 1:34:11.320
<v Speaker 1>It's booming. This is what the bot and you can

1:34:11.320 --> 1:34:13.559
<v Speaker 1>click on this thing. Right, It's like a video game.

1:34:13.600 --> 1:34:16.320
<v Speaker 1>It's like a choose your own adventure for politics. So

1:34:16.560 --> 1:34:18.240
<v Speaker 1>look at the economy, it's booming, and then you have

1:34:18.240 --> 1:34:20.639
<v Speaker 1>to click on how would you reply? Trump has been

1:34:20.640 --> 1:34:23.800
<v Speaker 1>good for the rich? The jobs numbers are misleading, So

1:34:23.840 --> 1:34:28.240
<v Speaker 1>how are you doing financially? You know, all annoying left

1:34:28.240 --> 1:34:30.680
<v Speaker 1>wing things to say, let's go with John, what do

1:34:30.680 --> 1:34:34.120
<v Speaker 1>you think? Let's go with the jobs numbers are misleading.

1:34:34.160 --> 1:34:36.519
<v Speaker 1>I hear that one a lot, and then the response

1:34:36.720 --> 1:34:40.320
<v Speaker 1>is you don't like them because Trump looks good hashtag

1:34:40.439 --> 1:34:42.880
<v Speaker 1>fake news. And then the moderator comes in and says,

1:34:43.520 --> 1:34:45.960
<v Speaker 1>this is not a good choice. This will turn the

1:34:45.960 --> 1:34:49.240
<v Speaker 1>conversation into a debate over facts and figures. That's a

1:34:49.280 --> 1:34:52.320
<v Speaker 1>problem because people tend not to be persuaded by contrary evidence.

1:34:52.680 --> 1:34:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Try this response instead, so how are you doing financially?

1:34:56.640 --> 1:34:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Good choice? The goal is to start a conversation. So basically,

1:34:59.680 --> 1:35:02.360
<v Speaker 1>this is training folks. I know that there's a liberal

1:35:02.400 --> 1:35:04.720
<v Speaker 1>version at a concertive version, but obviously people read the Times.

1:35:04.720 --> 1:35:06.479
<v Speaker 1>They're all going to be a bunch of screaming libs.

1:35:07.080 --> 1:35:09.400
<v Speaker 1>This is training that libs need for how to talk

1:35:09.479 --> 1:35:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to conservatives in their family. And it's just so funny

1:35:12.320 --> 1:35:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to me because I've had to talk to Libs. My

1:35:15.240 --> 1:35:18.080
<v Speaker 1>whole life, all the time, all around me. The notion

1:35:18.120 --> 1:35:20.759
<v Speaker 1>that as an adult who has political views and beliefs,

1:35:21.120 --> 1:35:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I would need the New York Times. I get it

1:35:23.160 --> 1:35:25.360
<v Speaker 1>too right. I mean, this is supposed to be kind

1:35:25.400 --> 1:35:27.200
<v Speaker 1>of cute. It's little tongue in cheek. I'm not trying

1:35:27.240 --> 1:35:31.559
<v Speaker 1>to be the Ebenezer Scrooge of Thanksgiving conversation here, although

1:35:31.560 --> 1:35:35.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe I am. But it's just it just goes to

1:35:35.320 --> 1:35:36.760
<v Speaker 1>show you, you know what the best thing to do

1:35:36.800 --> 1:35:40.200
<v Speaker 1>on Thanksgiving is just enjoy being around family and friends

1:35:40.400 --> 1:35:44.320
<v Speaker 1>and just don't get into annoying, contentious topics. Just don't

1:35:44.320 --> 1:35:48.360
<v Speaker 1>do it. It doesn't matter. You're not gonna win anything,

1:35:48.400 --> 1:35:51.640
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to convince anyone of anything. It's just

1:35:51.760 --> 1:35:55.320
<v Speaker 1>much less important. And I really do believe that Libs

1:35:55.360 --> 1:35:59.519
<v Speaker 1>have a much stronger inclination on this. Libs are much

1:35:59.560 --> 1:36:05.559
<v Speaker 1>more likely to just get way out of get their

1:36:05.600 --> 1:36:10.000
<v Speaker 1>nose bent out of joint on this one, and freak

1:36:10.040 --> 1:36:13.639
<v Speaker 1>out because they view to that intro the point made

1:36:13.640 --> 1:36:16.320
<v Speaker 1>of the intro. They view politics as intrinsic to their

1:36:16.439 --> 1:36:18.559
<v Speaker 1>being and who they are and all this other stuff,

1:36:18.840 --> 1:36:21.759
<v Speaker 1>and it's just not really the case, you know, It's funny.

1:36:21.800 --> 1:36:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I think in this current environment, you're probably better off

1:36:24.240 --> 1:36:27.280
<v Speaker 1>talking about religion and religious belief than you are about Trump.

1:36:27.640 --> 1:36:30.280
<v Speaker 1>It's more likely you could agree on is there a God?

1:36:30.520 --> 1:36:33.679
<v Speaker 1>And you know what is the truest or the only

1:36:33.720 --> 1:36:36.439
<v Speaker 1>true religion? Then you are to get people on the

1:36:36.479 --> 1:36:39.920
<v Speaker 1>opposing side of the Trump discussion to talk about things

1:36:40.120 --> 1:36:42.120
<v Speaker 1>in a in a civil fashion. You know, you don't

1:36:42.120 --> 1:36:43.920
<v Speaker 1>want someone to throw the turkey drums to get you.

1:36:43.960 --> 1:36:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Those things can be kind of big. You know, you

1:36:45.720 --> 1:36:47.240
<v Speaker 1>don't want you don't want some kind of an incident.

1:36:47.960 --> 1:36:49.800
<v Speaker 1>So you know how to have a conversation with your

1:36:49.800 --> 1:36:52.080
<v Speaker 1>angry uncle. Why do they assume the uncle's angry? By

1:36:52.120 --> 1:36:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the way, what about the aunt. I've got some very

1:36:54.400 --> 1:36:57.639
<v Speaker 1>opinionated aunts. You know what. Why they got to assume

1:36:57.680 --> 1:36:59.880
<v Speaker 1>if there's man's splaining going on, there could be woman's

1:37:00.040 --> 1:37:03.800
<v Speaker 1>planing over that Thanksgiving turkey. I'm just I'm just checking

1:37:03.840 --> 1:37:09.519
<v Speaker 1>all the boxes, my friends. Roll calls up next. The

1:37:09.640 --> 1:37:18.360
<v Speaker 1>show ain't over yet, folks, keeping it real. It's time

1:37:18.360 --> 1:37:32.160
<v Speaker 1>for roll call, two shows away from Thanksgiving. On the

1:37:32.280 --> 1:37:35.880
<v Speaker 1>roll call, that's where we are here, folks. Wow, time

1:37:35.920 --> 1:37:39.479
<v Speaker 1>flies when you're doing a syndicated talk show. I gotta

1:37:39.520 --> 1:37:41.679
<v Speaker 1>tell you, I can't believe already here. I've been living

1:37:41.680 --> 1:37:46.240
<v Speaker 1>in the swamp for six months. Six months. I gotta

1:37:46.280 --> 1:37:48.280
<v Speaker 1>tell you. I miss I miss my big apple. You know,

1:37:48.439 --> 1:37:51.959
<v Speaker 1>home is home, and for me, home is that big, smelly,

1:37:52.040 --> 1:37:57.439
<v Speaker 1>overpriced concrete jungle known as New York City. But DC, no,

1:37:57.720 --> 1:38:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I miss home. But it's good for the work. I

1:38:00.360 --> 1:38:03.080
<v Speaker 1>got to interact with all the swamp creatures and bring

1:38:03.120 --> 1:38:06.400
<v Speaker 1>you additional insights and knowledge and things like that because

1:38:06.439 --> 1:38:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm here, so that part of it's cool. I gosh,

1:38:09.960 --> 1:38:12.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm so tired. I'm actually drinking drinking coffee at this

1:38:12.520 --> 1:38:14.400
<v Speaker 1>stage of the game. That's probably a bad idea, now,

1:38:14.520 --> 1:38:16.280
<v Speaker 1>no wonder, I can't sleep at night. But it's black

1:38:16.400 --> 1:38:19.920
<v Speaker 1>rifle coffee. That's the good news. Taste delicious, all right.

1:38:20.200 --> 1:38:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Facebook dot Com slashbuck sex a team. I want. I

1:38:23.040 --> 1:38:25.400
<v Speaker 1>want some Facebook first timers. You know. I've got a

1:38:26.240 --> 1:38:29.760
<v Speaker 1>big crew of wonderful, wonderful team Buck folks who will

1:38:29.800 --> 1:38:33.640
<v Speaker 1>write in on a regular basis, and obviously we get

1:38:33.680 --> 1:38:35.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of notes in that are that are first

1:38:35.240 --> 1:38:37.720
<v Speaker 1>timers in general. But I would love it for the

1:38:37.760 --> 1:38:42.000
<v Speaker 1>holidays to get some team Buck first timers in the

1:38:42.320 --> 1:38:44.320
<v Speaker 1>inbox here. All you do is go to the page

1:38:44.320 --> 1:38:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Facebook dot com Slashbuck Sex and send me a message

1:38:48.040 --> 1:38:50.880
<v Speaker 1>there and thank you so much for doing so. Whatever

1:38:50.880 --> 1:38:56.919
<v Speaker 1>you get the chance. Douglas rights, you are good on Rising.

1:38:57.240 --> 1:38:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Today's co host and the panel were not too bright

1:39:00.040 --> 1:39:04.559
<v Speaker 1>an extremely partisan, same as all the other shows. Well, Douglas,

1:39:04.720 --> 1:39:06.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that you think that I'm good on Rising.

1:39:06.640 --> 1:39:12.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not easy to carry the conservative banner in that environment,

1:39:12.520 --> 1:39:16.439
<v Speaker 1>and I do it as tactfully as I can, because,

1:39:16.680 --> 1:39:18.920
<v Speaker 1>as I've said, I agreed when I came on the

1:39:18.920 --> 1:39:25.400
<v Speaker 1>show to take a not too aggressive position with my

1:39:25.920 --> 1:39:29.400
<v Speaker 1>conservative views. So I've I make my case, but I'm

1:39:29.400 --> 1:39:32.120
<v Speaker 1>not going to shout. I'm not going to lose my

1:39:32.200 --> 1:39:34.360
<v Speaker 1>temper and all the rest of it. So that that's

1:39:34.400 --> 1:39:37.080
<v Speaker 1>how I view all of it. But thank you for

1:39:37.160 --> 1:39:40.400
<v Speaker 1>your support of what I do. Martin writes, can you

1:39:40.479 --> 1:39:45.879
<v Speaker 1>verify is Wikipedia is telling the truth about you? Especially

1:39:45.880 --> 1:39:50.719
<v Speaker 1>in the footnotes, it appears that Wikipedia is a takes

1:39:50.720 --> 1:39:53.240
<v Speaker 1>a leftist slant of things written in it. Hittory will

1:39:53.280 --> 1:39:58.040
<v Speaker 1>be kind to me for I shall rewrite it. Signed Wikipedia, Martineah,

1:39:58.160 --> 1:40:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I've had left wingers, go try to delete my Wikipedia page.

1:40:04.160 --> 1:40:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I've had them try to put things on there that

1:40:06.439 --> 1:40:10.320
<v Speaker 1>are not true. This is the way that unfortunately, social

1:40:10.360 --> 1:40:13.800
<v Speaker 1>justice left acts on this stuff. This is the way

1:40:13.840 --> 1:40:18.800
<v Speaker 1>that they that they will, you know, they conduct themselves.

1:40:19.439 --> 1:40:24.880
<v Speaker 1>So yep, uh yeah, that's that's pretty much it. Um

1:40:25.760 --> 1:40:28.120
<v Speaker 1>So there you go. I mean, oh yeah, I don't

1:40:28.160 --> 1:40:31.400
<v Speaker 1>even have a I don't even have a Wikipedia page

1:40:31.520 --> 1:40:35.360
<v Speaker 1>right now because they deleted it. They have deleted it.

1:40:35.760 --> 1:40:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Um So, I don't know what else to tell you

1:40:37.320 --> 1:40:41.639
<v Speaker 1>other than yep, the social justice words. They're gonna come

1:40:41.680 --> 1:40:44.559
<v Speaker 1>after me, and you know, they're just they're just scum.

1:40:44.720 --> 1:40:47.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I get so. I really have an honest

1:40:48.240 --> 1:40:54.559
<v Speaker 1>disdain for these particularly for these progressive guys out there

1:40:55.200 --> 1:41:01.640
<v Speaker 1>who are just so smarmy and nasty, bata male pajama

1:41:01.680 --> 1:41:05.760
<v Speaker 1>boy cowards. You know that that's really the designation, that's

1:41:05.760 --> 1:41:09.880
<v Speaker 1>what they are. And they all work at Huffington Post

1:41:10.000 --> 1:41:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and move on, dot org and Slate and all these

1:41:13.240 --> 1:41:18.080
<v Speaker 1>just talking points, memo, what's that other daily cos these

1:41:18.160 --> 1:41:23.200
<v Speaker 1>just just steaming dung heaps of pseudo content that don't

1:41:23.200 --> 1:41:25.840
<v Speaker 1>need to exist but they do for whatever reason. I

1:41:25.920 --> 1:41:28.000
<v Speaker 1>just don't I just tend on to like those people.

1:41:28.040 --> 1:41:29.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, no, I'm sure there's some people there who

1:41:29.680 --> 1:41:32.240
<v Speaker 1>are fine, but in general, I mean, in general, if

1:41:32.280 --> 1:41:35.040
<v Speaker 1>you work for move on dot org or you work

1:41:35.080 --> 1:41:38.160
<v Speaker 1>for Media Matters, you're probably not a very good person.

1:41:38.920 --> 1:41:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Not not true all the time, but in general, it's

1:41:42.240 --> 1:41:46.599
<v Speaker 1>it's a fair bet, especially Media Matters. Media Matters is

1:41:46.880 --> 1:41:50.519
<v Speaker 1>a disgrace. But I could go on and on. So, yeah,

1:41:50.560 --> 1:41:54.439
<v Speaker 1>Wikipedia did they They've deleted my page and people keep

1:41:54.439 --> 1:41:56.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to put it. Hey, any of you listening, please

1:41:56.320 --> 1:41:58.680
<v Speaker 1>go back and restore my Wikipedia page. How about that?

1:41:59.320 --> 1:42:01.800
<v Speaker 1>It says thorough resourced as a lot of other Wikipedia

1:42:01.800 --> 1:42:05.880
<v Speaker 1>pages that were out there. I've never written on it myself, obviously,

1:42:06.320 --> 1:42:09.000
<v Speaker 1>but you know they've they've deleted it. So it's just

1:42:09.080 --> 1:42:11.519
<v Speaker 1>such an annoyance. They just don't want people to be

1:42:11.560 --> 1:42:13.800
<v Speaker 1>able to easily find me in my bio and background

1:42:13.840 --> 1:42:17.439
<v Speaker 1>because they it's a form of deep platforming. They want

1:42:17.439 --> 1:42:19.519
<v Speaker 1>a deep platform me on the Internet, and that's that's

1:42:19.560 --> 1:42:23.000
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing. It's disgusting. I hate these clowns. Philip

1:42:23.000 --> 1:42:25.040
<v Speaker 1>bright Shield, hie Buck, You've talked about this before, but

1:42:25.080 --> 1:42:29.719
<v Speaker 1>with the recent mccraven comments, please visit wide. General flag

1:42:29.760 --> 1:42:32.839
<v Speaker 1>officers tend to be social liberals. I have a few hunches.

1:42:32.840 --> 1:42:35.320
<v Speaker 1>It starts with the service academies, which, in my experience,

1:42:35.920 --> 1:42:38.840
<v Speaker 1>churned out the more liberal offers of my peer group

1:42:39.240 --> 1:42:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a life of insular focus, and later fete it as

1:42:41.960 --> 1:42:45.799
<v Speaker 1>royalty as they rise to flag rank. These senior officers

1:42:45.800 --> 1:42:49.200
<v Speaker 1>have never lived or worked outside of a socialist environment. Therefore,

1:42:49.200 --> 1:42:52.160
<v Speaker 1>while they're often great military minds, their whole personal experience

1:42:52.240 --> 1:42:55.559
<v Speaker 1>is what of social prestige, Like an elite in any society, Philip,

1:42:55.560 --> 1:42:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I think your analysis, and I'm guessing your military yourself.

1:43:00.600 --> 1:43:02.519
<v Speaker 1>You're you're a military I can see if your bio

1:43:02.640 --> 1:43:06.479
<v Speaker 1>your analysis is spot on. It's just that the nature

1:43:06.520 --> 1:43:10.240
<v Speaker 1>of people that rise to the elite levels of the

1:43:10.280 --> 1:43:13.640
<v Speaker 1>military command structure, not the elite levels. You know. When

1:43:13.680 --> 1:43:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I think of elite military, I think of Jaysack. I

1:43:16.960 --> 1:43:25.000
<v Speaker 1>think of Seals, Army Rangers, Delta, Special Forces, MARSAC, you know,

1:43:25.280 --> 1:43:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Air Force, pjs, etc. I mean, that's when I think

1:43:27.960 --> 1:43:30.320
<v Speaker 1>of elite military, That's what that's what comes to mind.

1:43:30.560 --> 1:43:34.599
<v Speaker 1>But at the elite levels of the military command structure, Yeah,

1:43:34.640 --> 1:43:37.120
<v Speaker 1>these are people that are much more like politicians than

1:43:37.160 --> 1:43:40.240
<v Speaker 1>they are like warriors in many cases, and that's their day.

1:43:40.320 --> 1:43:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Their day to day is much more similar to what

1:43:42.760 --> 1:43:45.639
<v Speaker 1>you'd have as a congressman than what you'd have as

1:43:45.840 --> 1:43:49.759
<v Speaker 1>a door kicker. So I do think that that affects

1:43:49.800 --> 1:43:52.680
<v Speaker 1>their approach and certainly the perception they have of the

1:43:52.680 --> 1:43:55.559
<v Speaker 1>world around them. And also I know that it's true

1:43:55.560 --> 1:43:59.519
<v Speaker 1>on the intel analysts and civilian side. You know, you

1:43:59.680 --> 1:44:03.720
<v Speaker 1>dident tend to need advanced degrees to impress the promotion

1:44:03.800 --> 1:44:06.960
<v Speaker 1>boards of some of these places. And so when you

1:44:06.960 --> 1:44:10.120
<v Speaker 1>get advanced degrees, there's a certain level of indoctrination that

1:44:10.160 --> 1:44:13.080
<v Speaker 1>occurs because they're talking about social science advanced degrees, not

1:44:13.160 --> 1:44:15.960
<v Speaker 1>like getting a PhD in math. Right, you're getting a

1:44:16.000 --> 1:44:20.280
<v Speaker 1>degree in international relations, a degree in political science, or

1:44:20.400 --> 1:44:23.360
<v Speaker 1>one of those things. And yeah, those are liberal strongholds.

1:44:23.360 --> 1:44:26.920
<v Speaker 1>So there's a degree, and everybody's affected by this. Right,

1:44:26.920 --> 1:44:28.800
<v Speaker 1>you want people around you to think you're smart, and

1:44:28.800 --> 1:44:31.400
<v Speaker 1>you want to sound smart, so you end up saying

1:44:31.439 --> 1:44:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the things that the smart people say. Now that all said,

1:44:34.800 --> 1:44:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm just speaking about bureaucracies and gentlemen. I

1:44:37.640 --> 1:44:40.360
<v Speaker 1>have no experience. I've never been in the military. I

1:44:40.360 --> 1:44:43.920
<v Speaker 1>have no experience of the military command structure myself, so

1:44:44.360 --> 1:44:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you know your analysis, Philip is more astute on that

1:44:47.000 --> 1:44:49.120
<v Speaker 1>than mine. I can tell you though that, you know,

1:44:49.120 --> 1:44:50.880
<v Speaker 1>if you want to be CIA director, you got to

1:44:50.960 --> 1:44:52.639
<v Speaker 1>kiss a lot of butt and you got to get

1:44:52.680 --> 1:44:55.559
<v Speaker 1>advanced degrees, and that's pretty much it. You don't have

1:44:55.640 --> 1:44:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to be some super intel officer. You really just have

1:44:58.880 --> 1:45:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to be a politician. So as to the military side

1:45:01.960 --> 1:45:04.360
<v Speaker 1>of it, I'll leave that to the many, many, many

1:45:04.400 --> 1:45:07.000
<v Speaker 1>of you listening in this audience right now who are

1:45:07.240 --> 1:45:11.040
<v Speaker 1>current or former military. One of the great points of

1:45:11.080 --> 1:45:14.600
<v Speaker 1>pride in this show was what a huge and robust

1:45:14.760 --> 1:45:19.799
<v Speaker 1>military listenership we have. Laurel writes, Hey, Buck, Laurel and Idaho.

1:45:19.840 --> 1:45:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Here was it one of your sponsors, which is the

1:45:23.439 --> 1:45:25.960
<v Speaker 1>free TV website app. I listened at work and don't

1:45:26.000 --> 1:45:29.000
<v Speaker 1>always remember to write down the important stuff, lol, Laurel,

1:45:31.280 --> 1:45:33.800
<v Speaker 1>free TV. What are you talking about? Snippy dot com.

1:45:33.840 --> 1:45:36.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a new social media platform, Laurel, that's a sponsor

1:45:36.360 --> 1:45:39.599
<v Speaker 1>on the show. Maybe that's what you're you're going for.

1:45:40.680 --> 1:45:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure, though. Timothy writes, here's a bearded picture

1:45:46.080 --> 1:45:50.679
<v Speaker 1>for you from a Californian living in Canada. Talk about

1:45:50.720 --> 1:45:53.439
<v Speaker 1>moving from the pan into the fire. Wow, Timothy, your

1:45:53.479 --> 1:45:58.360
<v Speaker 1>beard is Your beard is like is next level dude.

1:45:58.400 --> 1:46:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Like you could be a character in a TV show

1:46:02.160 --> 1:46:04.960
<v Speaker 1>about the Civil War, and all the other Civil War

1:46:05.000 --> 1:46:09.120
<v Speaker 1>guys would be like, gotta respect Timothy's beard. So props

1:46:09.240 --> 1:46:13.040
<v Speaker 1>my friend. Thank you. Timothy writes, Oh another, this is

1:46:13.040 --> 1:46:16.320
<v Speaker 1>a different Timothy Shield time Bucks, stop the madness with

1:46:16.360 --> 1:46:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the burgers. Pickles are an absolute necessity for a counterpoint

1:46:20.200 --> 1:46:23.439
<v Speaker 1>to the red meat flavor. Go to five guys. I

1:46:23.520 --> 1:46:26.320
<v Speaker 1>know Obama likes it too. Even a blind squirrel finds

1:46:26.320 --> 1:46:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a nut and get a bacon cheeseburger all the way,

1:46:28.720 --> 1:46:30.880
<v Speaker 1>it will change your life. Okay, Timothy, a few thinks here,

1:46:31.080 --> 1:46:35.640
<v Speaker 1>all right. First of all, I love five guys, okay.

1:46:36.040 --> 1:46:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Second of all, even though I can't eat the bun obviously.

1:46:38.320 --> 1:46:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Second of all, I don't know why people are so

1:46:40.960 --> 1:46:43.519
<v Speaker 1>dug in on this pickle on burger thing. I mean, look,

1:46:43.880 --> 1:46:47.559
<v Speaker 1>I understand that you've been propagandized too by the pickle

1:46:47.640 --> 1:46:51.280
<v Speaker 1>industry for many, many years now. I understand that McDonald's

1:46:51.479 --> 1:46:55.960
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately fell victim to the pickle on burger craze a

1:46:56.040 --> 1:46:59.040
<v Speaker 1>long time ago. But it doesn't have to be that way.

1:46:59.080 --> 1:47:02.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm showing you a glimpse of a brighter, better future

1:47:03.280 --> 1:47:06.160
<v Speaker 1>where we don't have to have pickles on our burgers.

1:47:06.600 --> 1:47:08.439
<v Speaker 1>We can have a pickle on the side of the plate,

1:47:08.800 --> 1:47:11.080
<v Speaker 1>right next to your French fries, right next to your chips,

1:47:11.160 --> 1:47:12.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, whatever it is you want to have there,

1:47:13.040 --> 1:47:15.160
<v Speaker 1>right next to your Brussels sprouts. If you're like me

1:47:15.160 --> 1:47:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and you try to eat brossel sprouts with every meal.

1:47:18.720 --> 1:47:22.160
<v Speaker 1>That's just the way that it can be, Timothy, I'm

1:47:22.200 --> 1:47:24.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to show you a glimpse of a brighter future.

1:47:24.280 --> 1:47:27.240
<v Speaker 1>That's it. Five Guys is excellent. Although my favorite of

1:47:27.280 --> 1:47:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the fast food burger chains is In and Out Burger

1:47:31.439 --> 1:47:33.439
<v Speaker 1>In and Out. It's my number one, even though the

1:47:33.520 --> 1:47:35.599
<v Speaker 1>fries at In and Out are not that good, John,

1:47:35.600 --> 1:47:37.720
<v Speaker 1>have you had the Have you had the fries in

1:47:37.720 --> 1:47:41.599
<v Speaker 1>and Out and five Guys? Five Guys fries are better,

1:47:41.640 --> 1:47:46.040
<v Speaker 1>but In and Out Burger is is definitely, you know,

1:47:46.200 --> 1:47:49.680
<v Speaker 1>definitely my favorite for the actual burger bah. John, you

1:47:49.720 --> 1:47:53.599
<v Speaker 1>better be ready tomorrow. We're talking Thanksgiving food, Thanksgiving traditions.

1:47:53.600 --> 1:47:56.040
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have a whole, a whole shebang plan. You're

1:47:56.040 --> 1:48:01.000
<v Speaker 1>ready for that action, add news. Buck, I'm out tomorrow. Wow, Wow,

1:48:01.720 --> 1:48:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm I don't even know what to say. Now, Brandon

1:48:03.960 --> 1:48:07.800
<v Speaker 1>will be here just leaving me. Yeah, Brandon, I don't know.

1:48:07.880 --> 1:48:10.559
<v Speaker 1>Brandon doesn't get as excited about food. He gets excited

1:48:10.560 --> 1:48:13.680
<v Speaker 1>about music, but food. He's not a foodie. That's all right.

1:48:13.720 --> 1:48:17.519
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk to him about it anyway. Willie is next here.

1:48:17.520 --> 1:48:20.040
<v Speaker 1>You're right, say hey, Buck, I live in SoCal, quite

1:48:20.040 --> 1:48:22.280
<v Speaker 1>a distance from the fires. The saddest part of the

1:48:22.320 --> 1:48:24.560
<v Speaker 1>fiasco is the loss of life and the feeling that

1:48:24.600 --> 1:48:26.639
<v Speaker 1>it could have been a much smaller tragedy if only

1:48:26.640 --> 1:48:30.800
<v Speaker 1>common sense were used. Governor Brown blamed global warming not

1:48:30.880 --> 1:48:33.559
<v Speaker 1>so long ago. He seemed rather quiet during Trump's visit.

1:48:33.760 --> 1:48:36.120
<v Speaker 1>What worries me most? Do we need a tragedy before

1:48:36.120 --> 1:48:39.080
<v Speaker 1>we realize sanctuary cities and state policies are as dangerous

1:48:39.120 --> 1:48:42.280
<v Speaker 1>as fires? How the voter, how the veterans, or rather

1:48:42.320 --> 1:48:44.600
<v Speaker 1>how the voters can vote for the demn stuns me.

1:48:44.640 --> 1:48:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for your excellent program, Willie, Well, thank you, Willie.
