1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Mr Garbatschev, tear down this wall. Either you're with us

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: or you were with the terrorists. If you've got healthcare already,

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: then you can keep your plan. If you are satisfied

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: with Trump is not the president of the United States,

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: take it to a bank. Together. We will make America

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: great again. We'll never sharend. It's what you've been waiting

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: for all day. Buck Sexton with America now joined the

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: conversation called Buck toll free at eight four four nine

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: hundred Buck. That's eight four four nine hundred two, eight

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: to five, sharp mind, strong voice. But Sexton, team Buck,

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: welcome to the freedom hunt. President Trump gave one of

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: his best speeches yet. The speech that he gave in

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Poland earlier today was I have to say phenomenal. Um.

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: It hit on major issues of his presency. He gave

15
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: a speech in warsaw Um and he talked about defending

16
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: civilization and the fact that the polls and our European

17
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: allies are necessary in this fight for what we call

18
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Western civilization. It was a speech that even I saw

19
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: some ardent, some just tried and true Trump haters had

20
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: to stop and say that was pretty good speech. It's presidential.

21
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: It was inspiring, and it showed a command and understanding

22
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,639
Speaker 1: and willingness to meet head on the biggest challenges now

23
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: facing our civilization, which we should speak about it in

24
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: those terms. By the way, we shouldn't shy away from this.

25
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: I know that as part of the multiculturalist brain washing

26
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: that we've all undergone as a result of the left's

27
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: takeover of academia, of the media, and increasingly of corporate

28
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: America as well, and certainly of Hollywood, that's been the

29
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: case for a long time, that we are to believe

30
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: that really all cultures around the world are the same.

31
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean, different food, but you know, the same values. Nonsense.

32
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: It's just not true. Some cultures value the individual much

33
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: more than others. Some cultures value rule of law more

34
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: than others, minority rights more than others. The role of

35
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: women is elevated or suppressed, depending on which country and

36
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: which culture we're talking about. In fact, if you have

37
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: not read it, I would recommend you to go back

38
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: and just thumb through either the original essay which was

39
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: published in Foreign Affairs, the Journal of the Council on

40
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: Foreign Relations place where I interned. I was fetching coffee

41
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: for some very fancy scholars a long long time ago,

42
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: and uh, one or two conspiracy theorists have picked up

43
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: on that as me being part of the Illuminati. I wish,

44
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: as I'm fond of saying, I think the Illuminati would

45
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: live in a bigger apartment than I do. Nonetheless, um,

46
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: they might be more than one room. Uh. The Council

47
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: and Formulations published an article called the Clash of Civilizations,

48
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: and then it was also expanded by Samuel Huntington's the

49
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: Author into a larger work, a full length book in

50
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: which he identifies civilizations from around the world and breaks

51
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: it down into not just what each civilization stands for

52
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: and what some of the defining characteristics of them are.

53
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: And you you know, there is Western civilization, there's uh

54
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: Islam is identified as an independent civilization. Uh, there is China. Uh,

55
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: there's the Orthodox Russia. I mean there's some variation. Is

56
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: um Latin Spanish speaking America. There's some variation in where

57
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: people draw the lines and what they consider to be

58
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: an independent civilization. And others would say a Western civilization

59
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: is encompasses all of the all of all of Latin

60
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: America and all of Russia. Others say, well, Russia is

61
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: really a separate orthodox civilization. So it's not obvious, it's

62
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: not it's not that there aren't some blurred lines between

63
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: different civilizations here and there. But civilization matters. It matters

64
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: for the future of well all of humanity. But it

65
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: also matters in the context of our own country because

66
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: a willingness to replicate values is first premised on an

67
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: understanding of those values and a defense of those values,

68
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: because otherwise they erode, they go away, and who knows

69
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: what dark path we will walk down if we don't

70
00:04:54,279 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: have a president, a government, and American people, most importantly,

71
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: that views itself as standing for something that is unique,

72
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: that is different, that yes, is exceptional in the world. Now,

73
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: there is something quite different about the tone about the

74
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: approach that President Trump took today from what we had

75
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: seen with the previous administration under President Barack Obama. And

76
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: it's the view of the of America. The view of

77
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: America and its role in the world that Obama had

78
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: is not singular to Obama by any stretch. It is

79
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: commonplace on the left. It's really the dominant geopolitical ideology

80
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party right now, which is that America

81
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: is one of many countries they're all these different countries

82
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: and you you know, the Greeks think they're exceptional. I remember,

83
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: forget what the exact line was Obama said, but you know,

84
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: America is exceptional in the same way that the Greeks

85
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: think they're exceptional and other people think they're exceptional to right,

86
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, everyone's got their thing, everyone's got

87
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: their strengths and weaknesses. It's really a form of it's

88
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: sort of moral relativism. You have cultural relativism or civilizational relativism,

89
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: meaning that everything is kind of more or less on

90
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: the same plane. Right, There's really no difference between Western

91
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: civilization and Islamic civilization. It's just you know, linguistically different,

92
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: the foods, different clothings different, Right. But but those are

93
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: just uh, secondary, unimportant attributes of a civilization, and it

94
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: should be known that they often change, and they're in

95
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: a constant a constant flux. Right, what we think of

96
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: as culture, which can be described as food, clothing, manner, methods,

97
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, methods of interacting with people. Um, that's one

98
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: way to describe culture. But then there's also rule of law, uh,

99
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: civic duty, sense of one place in society, treatment of

100
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: those who are not a part of that community. I mean,

101
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: you can take culture in any number of directions, but

102
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: culture is downstream. In fact, culture is the organizational unit

103
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: that is below civilization. Civilization is at the top of

104
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: the of the hierarchy, and Western civilization is the most

105
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,119
Speaker 1: important in the world and has been for centuries now

106
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to the advancement of human kind, the

107
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: progress of the human race all the world. It's not

108
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: to say they're on contributions from other civilizations. There certainly are,

109
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: but Western civilization has led to unbelievable prosperity. I mean

110
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: unbelievable in the sense that no one a few centuries

111
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: ago would have thought it possible that we could be

112
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: living in countries with hundreds of millions, in some cases

113
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: even over a billion inhabitants, who are fed, who have

114
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: access to electricity and running water, and and this is

115
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: largely a product of this realization in which not only

116
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: we find ourselves, but is led by our country. And

117
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: that's a unique role. There's something very special. And I

118
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: know this comes right after Independence Day weekend, and I

119
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: do hope you all had a great Fourth of July.

120
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: But there's something unique and powerful and profound about America,

121
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: not just as the guaranteur of some degree of international stability,

122
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: some degree of decency between states on the world stage.

123
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: Not to say that there aren't terrible things happening all

124
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: the time. I'm well aware of that. We'll talk more here,

125
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: of course, about the Syrians civil war, about uh human

126
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: rights in China, about jehat ists, about all any number

127
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: of things right, and a number of problems, and and

128
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: there's certainly no shortage of human suffering and oppression and

129
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: tyranny around the world. America still has a lot of

130
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: work to do. That's not to say that we are

131
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: going to solve all these problems for the rest of

132
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: the world. But at least we can be an example.

133
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: At least we can be that shining city on a hill.

134
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: We can be that beacon of yes, that beacon of freedom.

135
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: I know it sounds like I'm a pageant contestant, but

136
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: it's true. It's the reality the rest of the world.

137
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: For all the polls we see about how America is

138
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: not beloved in this country or that country, they largely

139
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: view us with disdain. And it's mostly our government because

140
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: of either a misunderstanding of history and policy, or envy

141
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: or a combination of those things. They all know. Any

142
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: anyone with a real grasp of the world and the

143
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: way countries functioned, they all know, deep down, people who

144
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: are informed around the world that America is special, unique,

145
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: and is a blessing on this earth. And to have

146
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: a president who speaks about it in that way is

147
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: deeply refreshing. To have a president who does not take

148
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: it upon on himself to apologize, to prevaricate about our

149
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: role in the world, to bow to foreign leaders, to

150
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: take every opportunity to downplay the greatness of this country,

151
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: a greatness that has only been created because of generations

152
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: that came before us, and countless members of the United

153
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: States Military who have served and in many cases uh

154
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: died fighting for this country. So I mean, the president

155
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: is our really chief ambassador to the world. I know

156
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: you'd say the Secretary of State technically, but but the

157
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: president is our representative for the rest of the world.

158
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: And it should never be the case that we have

159
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: a president who feels the need to apologize for the

160
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: rest of us. I don't want a president who apologizes.

161
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: I want a president who understands just how fantastic, how great,

162
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: how special, how unique, how powerful, and important this country

163
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: is for all of us who live here and for

164
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. America is the light. We

165
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: should have a president who speaks about it in that way.

166
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: And it's not going to be this way forever unless

167
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: we are vigilant, unless we fight for it. And I

168
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: think that's the recognition that many had listening to President

169
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: Trump today. He understands and I know that he has

170
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: speechwriters and this is a collaboration between the top people

171
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: in the White House, but he's reading it before he's

172
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: saying it, and the way he delivers it and the

173
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: words that he chooses to include in the speech are

174
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: indicative of the mindset. Right. There was no surprise today.

175
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: We know the President Trump thinks that this is a

176
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: special country. We know that American greatness is a central

177
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: theme not just of this president but of those who

178
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: support him. They want somebody representing us, yes, in this country,

179
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: at the top of government, but also around the world,

180
00:11:54,280 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: who really believes that we are a magnificent addition to

181
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: human history, that America is the greatest single source of good, truth, stability,

182
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: and progress, real progress that has ever existed. But we

183
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: are in dangerous times. We see this with North Korea.

184
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: We see this with jihadists who are part of an

185
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: international global insurgency that tries to destroy our way of

186
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: life by slowly undermining it and by convincing us to

187
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: have a defeatist attitude, convincing us that we cannot prevail.

188
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: We also have statuss within our own midst, whether you

189
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: know here at home or among our allies abroad, who

190
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: believe that individual freedom is not something that should be celebrated,

191
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: that it should be truncated, it should be increasingly limited,

192
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: and that experts should be put in charge. That you

193
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: don't have any inherent rights, that you don't get to

194
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: choose what the health care for your infant will be.

195
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: The state will make that decision for you. These are forces,

196
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: whether state is um jihadism, the tyranny of foreign states

197
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: that seek to not just slowly uh subvert America, but

198
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: in time two destroy us, to destroy what this country

199
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: stands for. And Western civilization is under assault. It is

200
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: not something that will endure forever. There was this whole

201
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: period of time after the fall of Rome. People refer

202
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: to it as the Dark Ages. Well, it's because you

203
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: had a collapse of a great civilization and there were

204
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: and I know people say, well, Bucket moved and there

205
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: was constants in Opland. Yeah, but for a long period

206
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: of time, Western civilization was in retreat. And if we

207
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: do not watch out, we will fall into that same

208
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: state of decline. And that was part of what President

209
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: Trump discussed today. I want to play some of his

210
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: words for you and get war into the analysis of

211
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: both what he said, as well as what's going on

212
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: at the G twenty. You've obviously got all kinds of

213
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: crazy protesters running around. They're causing problems. Will also discuss

214
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: the latest on national security. We've got people joining to

215
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: talk about media. I've got a whole uh, a couple

216
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: of segments planned on trans that current state of transgender rights,

217
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: which is just mind blowing what's going on there. Uh,

218
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: pack show today. Team can't wait to get into more

219
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: of it with you back after this break. The fundamental

220
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: question of our time is whether the West has the

221
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: will to survive. It is the fundamental question of our time,

222
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: and and this is what has so rocked Europe in

223
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: recent years, the recognition that culture matters, that if you

224
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: don't have a a national culture and identity anymore, if

225
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: you allow it to be to be dissolved in favor

226
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: of international norms, whatever that means internationalist institutions. If you

227
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: allow for governance that no longer takes into account what

228
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: is happening on the ground, but it's just decided only

229
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: far away by people who have no connection to nor

230
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: understanding of the people that they seek to govern. Uh,

231
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: then you have a problem. It's true in Europe. It's

232
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: true here in America to a lesser extent as well.

233
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: But the Europeans have seen, because of the mass migration

234
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: of recent years, that there are limits to there are

235
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: limits to assimilation. There needs to be enough time for

236
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: the newly arrived to adopt the ways of the countries

237
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: in which they find themselves or in which rather they

238
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: have come to the countries they have come to. So

239
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: I think that the President touched on some very important

240
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: dish shoes there, but he spoke specifically about welcoming newcomers.

241
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say. America and Europe have

242
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: suffered one terror attack after another. We're going to get

243
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: it to stop. I called on the leaders of more

244
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: than fifty Muslim nations to join together to drive out

245
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: this menace which threatens all of humanity. We must stand

246
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: united against these shared enemies, to strip them of their

247
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: territory and their funding, and their networks, and any form

248
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: of ideological support that they may have. While we will

249
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: always welcome new citizens who share our values and love

250
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: our people, our borders will always be closed to terrorism

251
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: and extremism of any kind. Extremism of any kind, The

252
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: President says, Yeah, this is a breath of fresh air.

253
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you who understand or or

254
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: see um a method to what the media calls madness,

255
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: but it's really just Trump being Trump. Uh. I think

256
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: today you felt some degree of continued vindication with the

257
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: President giving what was one just an excellent speech. It

258
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: hit all I watched the whole thing, hit all the

259
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: right notes, and beyond that, I think it's set up

260
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: what the Trump doctrine will begin to look like. The

261
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: Trump doctrine is not something that we could define just yet.

262
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: In fact, a big part of Trump's doctrine so far

263
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: has been I'm not going to tell you what the

264
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: doctrine is. We're going to see how things go. Of course,

265
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: critics say that that just means they don't have policies

266
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: in place. Others say, well, there, looking at everything and

267
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: they're making the best decisions that they can under the circumstances,

268
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: and based upon the US is geo political position, which

269
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: it of course it is inherited from the Obama administration.

270
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: So with all that, I think a a form of

271
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: the Trump doctrine is beginning to come together, and it

272
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: is that American greatness will be the unifying principle of

273
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: all policies on the world stage. That a a first

274
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: and foremost understanding of America's role as all of the

275
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: things that I said before, the the guaranteur, the UH,

276
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: the place of liberty for all the rest of the

277
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: world to admire and and hopefully in their own time

278
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: duplicate replicate um that that comes first and foremost, but

279
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: also that American security and the interests of those individuals

280
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: who are fortunate enough and we are so lucky to

281
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: have been born in this country or to have become

282
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: residents citizens of this country by choice. We are so lucky,

283
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: all of us who call this tree home. And you

284
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: just listen to this president speak and you get the

285
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: sense from him that he agrees that he does see

286
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: something particularly uh wonderful about America. And that was I

287
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: think very that was refreshing. He does not take this

288
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: approach that you see it's so common on the left,

289
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: which is just oh, you know, America is not as

290
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: great as people say it is. Actually it's even better

291
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: than most We'll be back. He's back with you now,

292
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: because when it comes to the fight for truth, the

293
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: fuck never stops. Before I get to the much anticipated

294
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: sit down between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin

295
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: of Russia, I just wanted to play this, this line

296
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: from the speech that I found particularly stirring. This is

297
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: President Trump in Warsaw and before heading to the G

298
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: twenty in Hamburg. We'll get into the G twenty coming

299
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: up here a little bit. And then I said, I said,

300
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: later on the show, we've got a bunch of guests joining.

301
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the transgender rights movement. We've got some

302
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: updates for you on that transgender. Uh. Pediatric care is

303
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: now a thing that we have to talk about because

304
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: of what's going on. And I've got a bunch of

305
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: other things want to get to. But first, this is

306
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: one of the lines that really stuck out for me

307
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: from the President's speech in Warsaw, Poland finds us the

308
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: defense of the West ultimately rests not only on means,

309
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: but also on the will of its people to prevail

310
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: and be successful and get what you have to have.

311
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: The fundamental question of our time is whether the West

312
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: has the will to survive. Do we have the confidence

313
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: in our values to defend them at any car Do

314
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders.

315
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve

316
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: our civilization in the face of those who would subvert

317
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: and destroy it? Essential points in the President United States

318
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: defending our values. It's something that you hear politicians talk about,

319
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: and you'll see members of the media h sneer at

320
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: the notion that we even need to worry about that,

321
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: because it doesn't every everyone shares our values, right, everyone

322
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: believes in rule of law and religious pluralism and the

323
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: rights of minorities both religious and ethnic, and uh, you

324
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: name it, right, I mean everyone believes in that. But wait,

325
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: why are so many countries deficient in those categories? Why

326
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: do we see so much oppression and tyranny and sectarianism

327
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: and racism, oh, racism on the world stage? Something that

328
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: many Americans are not aware of because our own media

329
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: doesn't much talk about it. But racism exists all over

330
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: the world, really, uh. And it is actually much worse

331
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: in most of the world where there are different groups,

332
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: different ethnic groups coming together than anything that you would

333
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: see here in America. Those of you who have spent

334
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: time in the in the Middle East, that you spent

335
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: time in South Asia, Uh, if you get to know

336
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: the culture well enough, you start to say. A hold

337
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: on a second. So in Saudi Arabia, if you are

338
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: a migrant worker from South Asia, you're you're treated as

339
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: though you're not entirely human by the by many saudis

340
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: right that that and that's commonplace. I mean, I could

341
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: go on with example after after example all over the world.

342
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: But that's just one that that comes to mind. The

343
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is that America has spent so

344
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: much more time coming to grips with and trying to

345
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: overcome racism than many other countries. Uh. And we don't

346
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: give ourselves, certainly, the media doesn't give us nearly enough

347
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: credit for all of the progress that has been made

348
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: and for the fact that overall we we do get

349
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: along as a country from all different backgrounds, all different

350
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: races and ethnicities. We are a remarkably uh, peaceful, kind

351
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: and decent people, all three twenty million of us. I

352
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: know there's obviously a lot of exceptions, a lot of

353
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of a lot of jerks

354
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: running around too. But America overall, given the size of

355
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: this country and the fact that we have been as

356
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: open to as many different cultures and backgrounds as we

357
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: have in over the years, it's remarkable how well we do.

358
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: And our culture is a central part of that. UH.

359
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: And I think that the President was making sure that

360
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: it was known that it is known that this administration

361
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: believes that there are ideas, there are principles that we

362
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: have willing to defend even if they oh end, meaning

363
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: that I talked to you here on the on the

364
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: show about practices like yesterday we discussed f gm UM.

365
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: But there are any number of different ideologies and approaches

366
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: to day to day life that conflict with our core values.

367
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: We have to not just be willing to say that

368
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: we want with that will keep things the way they

369
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: are here, but also that the way we do things

370
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: in a whole variety of respects in America and in

371
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: Western civilization more broadly, is better than in other places

372
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: around the world. The treatment of women in America is

373
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: just and Western civilization. We can use these two things

374
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: somewhat interchangeably for the purposes of our discussion. It's just

375
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: better than it is in most most of the rest

376
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: of the world. Our respect for as a people are

377
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: respect for the rule of law is better than in

378
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: most o the rest of the world. You could say

379
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: that that's something that we inherited to some degree from

380
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: our British well originally overlords, but our British forefathers um.

381
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: In fact, I think when Orwell was writing writing uh,

382
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: right before the Second World War, he said that the

383
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: one thing that really notes, the one thing that really

384
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: denotes Englishmen and what is different and unique about Englishmen

385
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: than people from other parts of the world in his experience,

386
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: and he had been not really this is not well

387
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: known about or Well. He was a police officer. His

388
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: real name is Eric Blair. We know him as George Orwell.

389
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: One of the most important English authors of the twenty century. Certainly,

390
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: I think you could say in the top five. Some

391
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: people say the most important. His name was Eric Blair.

392
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: He served as a as a colonial British police officer

393
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: in Burma for a period of time, and he also

394
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: went and fought in Catalonia in Spain against the fascist

395
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: Franco regime and took a bullet in the neck for

396
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: his trouble. He wrote a memoir of it, called Homage

397
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: to Catalonia, which I highly recommend to all of you.

398
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: It's not not nearly assigned or or spoken of enough

399
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: with orwell. It usually jumped right to his two great classics,

400
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: one written as a children's book, but one that every

401
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: adult should be quite familiar with and and and It's

402
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: worth reading even no matter what age you are, Animal Farm.

403
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: And then, of course his most famous work four Um,

404
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: which has seen a surge in readership apparently in the

405
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: Trump era, which I find fascinating because is in fact

406
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: the Democrat party that is much more closely aligned with

407
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: the omnipresent and unending statis Um that is described via

408
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: Big Brother and the various uh instruments and implementations of

409
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: the state of a of a totalitarian state, which is

410
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: largely enforced through constant media, by the way, with the

411
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: two Minutes Hate and Emmanuel gold Steen and the the

412
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: unending wars that change with different parties and no one

413
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: knows why there's no They're supposed to hate them. Um,

414
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: so I have gone off on a rant about four

415
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: and orwell, and I forget even why I was telling

416
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: you about this, but nonetheless, oh, yes, the greatness of

417
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: Western civilization, sorry, the greatest of Western civilization. And uh.

418
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: The difference between a brit and really an American and

419
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: much of the rest of the world is in fact

420
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: our respect for the law. You know, whether you're the

421
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: lowliest of the low in society, you know, the an

422
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: impoverished drunkard lying in the street, or the most connected,

423
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: famous citizen, powerful citizen, rich citizen in the country. You

424
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: under you have some understanding. I know that there are

425
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: different ways that the law is implemented depending on your

426
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: power and and it's it's an imperfect system, but there's

427
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: some belief that the law exists to protect you, that

428
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: the law is there, and that we all both have

429
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: to abide by it and can seek some level of protection.

430
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: And that's that's a a pillar really of what we

431
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: consider the Western civilization. But also are willingness to say

432
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: that just some of our stuff is better. Um, the

433
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: way that we do things is is in fact better

434
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: that free markets are better than state is um uh,

435
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: and state directed and state driven UH economic activity, that

436
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: central planning is in fact inferior in the aggregate two

437
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: decisions made at a more localized level UH. And that

438
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: individual freedom and ingenuity are the spark for the conflagration

439
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: of prosperity that we have seen as a result of

440
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: well capitalism. Right. So, I know these are all broad concepts,

441
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: and I probably could just spend the whole three hours today.

442
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: Like I know, a lot of other shows will just

443
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: yelling about how terrible CNN is. But I try to

444
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: bring more to the freedom hunt than just you know,

445
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: the all left media is terrible. I hate I hate

446
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: the the progressive echo chamber, the main the mainstream lame

447
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: stream media, etcetera, etcetera. That's that's all well and good.

448
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: But there are other things to keep in mind to

449
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: think about beyond that. Um that all said, I will

450
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: get into some CN I will get into some CNN

451
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: batching later, because I mean, come on, right, we are

452
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: we are doing radio here. Um. But Russia, I know

453
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: I skipped out. Let me let me put a quick

454
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: hold here. I'll come back talk to you about putin Russia.

455
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: Where I think the conversation should go, Where the areas

456
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: are of common concern and where there will be some friction,

457
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: and of course how the media will treat this whole

458
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: showdown with Trump and Putin. We'll hit that and much

459
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: more team right after this break. We are aged Russia

460
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: to seize its destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere, and

461
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: it's report for hostile regimes, including Syria and Iran, and

462
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: to instead join the community of responsible nations in our

463
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: fight against common enemies and in defense of civilization itself.

464
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: I have to say, I don't see where Trump as

465
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: the the stooge of Russia is a defensible position at

466
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: all for the media and for the analyte analysts out

467
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: there to take. But nonetheless you will hear it from

468
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: people right there's nothing, there's no evidence, just kind of

469
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: like the whole Russia Trump collusion thing, there's no evidence

470
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: really to support it that there has been no UH

471
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: policy taken by the administration that is strangely or unusually

472
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: favorable towards Russia or towards Vladimir Putin. And in fact,

473
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: the speech President Trump gave today in Warsaw, he called

474
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: out Russia and by the way, for the Polish Russia

475
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: is a very real concern. The Polish can look back

476
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: in their own history, and well, I should say that there's,

477
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: first of all, among my Polish friends, there's a bit

478
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: of a of a distaste for their Russian states actions

479
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: visa VI Poll and stretching back for a long time.

480
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: And there's friction between UH Polls and Russians that I've

481
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: I've been told about on more than one occasion. But

482
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: the fact of the matters. The President gave an excellent

483
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: speech in Wars on which he called out Russia. And

484
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: now we know that at the G twenty summit, we'll

485
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: be talking to you more about. At the G twenty summit,

486
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: you have UH Vladimir Putin sitting down with President Trump,

487
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: and you're already there's already a whole bunch of media

488
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: coverage around this thing, and people are saying, oh, well,

489
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: we will have to say, you know, why isn't Trump

490
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: taking a top This is from the Washington Examiner. President

491
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: Trump's top White House expert on Russia won't attend his

492
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump and Putin will

493
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: be joined only by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and

494
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: Russian for Minister Sergei Lavrov As well as translators. Look,

495
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: you know they're there. They want to have a they

496
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: want to have a man to man. You know, they

497
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: wanted to go mano a mano. You're well, I guess

498
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: it's two men to two men plus translators. But you

499
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, I want this to be a

500
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: direct line of communication. I should also know that if

501
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm this White House at this point in time, or

502
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: rather from this president, uh, You've got to think that

503
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: any discussion that he has, if there are other people

504
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: in the room, there's always the possibility that just somehow

505
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: there will be a story in the media that maybe

506
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: distorts what was said or distorts his approach to Putin.

507
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's not gonna be there's not gonna run

508
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: a lot of news stories about the brilliant state craft

509
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: that is that is engaged in by Trump in a

510
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: meeting with Putin, and yet somehow they're saying, oh, well,

511
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: he's not bringing his top expert. I think he's gonna

512
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: be taking the measure of this. Vladimir Putin fellow and

513
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: vice versa, and Rex Tillerson and Sergey Lavrov is also

514
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: going to be a very interesting u man to man exchange.

515
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: I would assume. Now, look, they're gonna be doing this

516
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: through translators, so that also takes something out of this.

517
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that there's not Well, I shouldn't say that necessarily,

518
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: but you would think that Putin would have English fluency.

519
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: I just figured, you know, if if you're going to

520
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: be the head of state of a major country like that,

521
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: and and you're going to have interactions with the Western

522
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: regular basis, I'm sure Putin speaks English, but my understanding

523
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: is he he doesn't. Really his English is not not

524
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: so great. It's just I'm just saying it's kind of

525
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: surprising that Putin's English is not better than it is

526
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: from from what I understand based on the media reports. Anyway, Um,

527
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to discuss a whole range

528
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: of issues. The main place where you could see some

529
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: real positive effects when it comes to Russia has to

530
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: do with foreign policy, which I will note is always

531
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: overstated in the minds of the media. When it comes

532
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 1: to importance. Foreign policy sounds fancy. Foreign policy is generally

533
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: the province of elite coastal and even northeastern sorry California,

534
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: Northeastern types. You know, the Atlantic seaboard and all of

535
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: the various hallowed institutions of higher learning that churn out

536
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: all these self described wanks on foreign policy. And it's

537
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: a it's a place where there's always a separation from

538
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: the hai panoya. You know, did you study foreign policy?

539
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: Have you traveled extensively around the globe? One of the

540
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: stamps and your passport. You know, there's a little bit

541
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: of a of a latent classism in the way the

542
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: media talks about foreign policy. I'm sure a lot of

543
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: you know exactly what I'm talking about. When whenever we

544
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: go in the reround with foreign policy, it's supposed to

545
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: be you know, let's look, the adults are smart, the well,

546
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 1: look the look the smartest people in the room handle

547
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: this one. And so that's where, for example, there was

548
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: a wild overestimation of the Obama administrations, and yes President

549
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: Obama himself, of their capabilities on foreign policy and their strategy,

550
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: their wisdom, their judgment right, because they're because they're so smart, right,

551
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: Obama and his top advisors just so brilliant, they must

552
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: be great at foreign policy. They went to fancy school,

553
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: so they must know exactly what they're doing. Of course,

554
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: you know, Trump went to a fancy school too, but

555
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: you don't really you know, the media doesn't really care

556
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 1: about that. Notice that what Trump the fancy school means nothing.

557
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 1: But how many times do we hear about how Obama

558
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,479
Speaker 1: went to Harvard Law School and was on Harvard Law Review.

559
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: You heard about it a lot, didn't you. But Trump

560
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: with a warden was the best business school in the

561
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: world that it was kind of like, man, you know,

562
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: I just think we should be I just think we

563
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: should be fair about this, right if the commander in

564
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: chief and people said, oh, well, look at George Bush

565
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: and he went to Yale, but it's because he's a Bush. Yeah, Well,

566
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, John Kerry wasn't exactly light in the world

567
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: on fire as a student when he was at Yale,

568
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: So you know, neither was al Gore. I don't know

569
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: if he went to I think he went to Harvard

570
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: and not. Yea, I get it all confused. These schools

571
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: are all by the way, this is a total digression

572
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: from the Russia Russia thing, which I'll get back to

573
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: the second. But I just I really want to tell

574
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: you this because I have firsthand experience of dealing with this,

575
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: uh in a whole bunch of capacities. This whole thing

576
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: about school branding is somehow indicative of someone's intelligence is

577
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: just nonsense. It can be true. There are really impressive people,

578
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: lots of them who go to these fancy schools, but

579
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: there are a lot of idiots too, and there are

580
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: a lot of brilliant people who go to schools you've

581
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: never heard of. So it really doesn't mean what it's

582
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: supposed to mean anymore what people allege it to mean,

583
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: especially with politicians who have connected families and everything else.

584
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: Oh what do you think, Chelsea? You think Chelsea Clinton

585
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: went to staling Frood because she's so brilliant. I mean,

586
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure she thinks so. But I have news for you,

587
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: not not the case. But back to Russia. Okay, So

588
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: on foreign policies where there should be the biggest move

589
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: here I think, and that means notably Syria, and if

590
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: there could be the Russian hand in Syria right now,

591
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: he is a strong one and we don't really know

592
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: where we're trying to go as rock of the Fight

593
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: for RockA is currently underway. We've got our proxy force

594
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: on the ground in Syria. You know, the Russians have

595
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: military forces there. They've been uh, they've been flying aerial

596
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: sort he's dropping bombs for a long time, unfortunately, dropping

597
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: bombs far too indiscriminately and killing a lot of civilians

598
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: in the process, and not really fighting against ISIS but

599
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: fighting against the anti ISIS anti Assad resistance. Um, we

600
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: need we need Russia to to play ball a little

601
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: more on Syria with whatever our end state goal is,

602
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: which I should also note I'm not even sure the

603
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: administration knows what they're trying to accomplish in Syria other

604
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 1: than destroy ISIS. But it's not like you destroy ISIS

605
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: and then you just get to go home. And it's

606
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: not like destroying isis is gonna happen anytime soon. We're

607
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: gonna move into a counter insertaincy phase. The Russians can

608
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: either be somewhat constructive in this process or at least

609
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: not be destructive, or they make our lives much more miserable.

610
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: So I'm sure they're gonna talk about that. We'll be

611
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: right back. He's back with you now, because when it

612
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops.

613
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everyone. Let's talk some national security now with

614
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: Fred Flights. He is a senior Vice president of the

615
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: Center for Security Policy. He's a former CIA analyst and

616
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: former chief of staff to Ambassador John Bolton. My brother

617
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: from Langley. Mr Fred Flight is great to have you, sir, Well,

618
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: it is great to talk to a spell former CIA officer. Indeed,

619
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: so let's let's get into what's happening around the world. First,

620
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: G twenty summit. Why should why should people care? What's

621
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: being discussed? What matters? Well, I mean, I've been looking

622
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: at this all day. It's been fascinating. I think that

623
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: the President scored a major coup with his meeting in

624
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 1: Poland to strike a strong relationship with the nation that's

625
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: well a government that shares his values. You know, the

626
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: President was going to Europe knowing this is going to

627
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: be a setup that these European elites were have to

628
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: get him there to bash him on the climate agreement,

629
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: on immigration, on his trade policies. So what did the

630
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: President do. He got a hero's welcome and warsaw and

631
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: talk with the government that understands the dangers of letting

632
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: an immigrants who are not vetic for terrorist ties. You know,

633
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: there have been no radicals honest attacks in Poland. You

634
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: know why, because they had defied the US orders to

635
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: let in unvetted Syrian refugees. So I think this really

636
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: set him up well for his meetings with the Europeans,

637
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: and he also talked about a relationship with Poland and

638
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: Eastern Europe. He wants to strike concerning energy and economic

639
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: gay and military aid, which also has put Putting on

640
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: the defensive, and I think I put him in a

641
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: good position for those meetings. Also say, I saw some

642
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: reaction from the press from some of the usual suspects

643
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: fred including folks over at CNN who are having quite

644
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: a week, quite a month, uh, and they were suggesting

645
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: that that Trump is is playing right into Putin's hands

646
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: because at that press conference with the Polish premier he

647
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: made some comments about the well about the press and

648
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: said something about Obama. And I think they're just stretching

649
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: now to the point where the agenda has been obvious

650
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: for a long time. But now it's really just entering

651
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: silly town. I mean, it's it's just crazy. Why give

652
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: me your sense of where where Trump is visa VI

653
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: Putin's puppet after what we've seen over the last twenty

654
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: four hours. Well, I don't get my news from CNN,

655
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: but I will tell you the relationship with Prutin is complicated.

656
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: Let's bear in mind that that relationship with Russia is

657
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: a mess because of the disaster left for Mr Trump

658
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: by President Obama. Realized that the last summit the Russia

659
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: participated in on Syria, Russia it ran in Turkey participated,

660
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: the US was not invited because we lost so much

661
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,919
Speaker 1: credibility with the Russians and over this issue, they didn't

662
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: think it was worth talking to us. Just think about that.

663
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: So he has to rebuild US as a credible state.

664
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: He also has to come at Putin to negotiate for

665
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: a made position of strength. I think the first meeting

666
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: is going to be icy and difficult. They're going to

667
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: have to establish a relationship where we agree to disagree

668
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: in some things, we hold Russia accountable, and we find

669
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: a way to cooperate on issues of mutual concern. In

670
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: your entire career, Fred, both inside and outside of government,

671
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: do you ever recall a time when the media was

672
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: anywhere near this completely freaked out about everything that Russia

673
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: does all the time. I mean, you really do get

674
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: the sense that there are some there's some major newsrooms

675
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: out there, major newspapers, that that think that you know,

676
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: Putin's hiding under their bed at night or something. It's

677
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: like a putent pandemic out there. Yeah, I think that's

678
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: exactly right. And look at the way the Western media

679
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: wasted their questions in Warsaw. One was on the Trump

680
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: wrestling with see an nd video. The other one was

681
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: concerning whether Russia influence the election. Nothing about what they

682
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: just heard on the U S relationship with Poland giving

683
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: Patriot missiles to Poland energy assistance. The Western media is

684
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: obsessed with these trivial issues while there are serious security

685
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: and economicist who says should be asking about We're speaking

686
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: of Fred Flights, the senior vice president at the Center

687
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: for Security Policy former c I A analyst, Fred, what

688
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: does success visa the foreign policy with Moscow? What does

689
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: does Trump doing the right thing and getting it done

690
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to Putin and the various places where

691
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: our interests either clash, intersect, or actually go along with

692
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: each other, What does success look like? If we could

693
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: get some type of agreement on isis, that would be

694
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: a significant achievement. Uh, if we could find some way

695
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: he could get cooperation with Rush on North Korea, that

696
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: would be significant I think that's bred likely. I might

697
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: add I think that most we could probably hope for

698
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: is beginning a relationship that they will develop over the

699
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: next couple of years, so we'll be able to come

700
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: to some agreements in the future. I think this initial

701
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: meeting is basically the two leader stem each other out.

702
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't think there'll be any significant achievements. And you

703
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: mentioned North Korea. Obviously, the missile tests has got a

704
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of attention from around the world,

705
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: which is at least in large part. I think the

706
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: part of the part of the reason for the missile

707
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: tests in the first place, right is to get the

708
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,959
Speaker 1: world's attention. The Kim regime uses this as a means

709
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 1: of getting everyone to all of a sudden take notice

710
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: to what's going on in North Korea. Although there is

711
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: a real military threat and a growing military threat as

712
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: a result of the increasing capability dealing with North Korea,

713
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people are talking about it last couple

714
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: of days. I'm not hearing a lot of new policy

715
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: or strategy, Fred, I'm I'm hearing better versions of what

716
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: has been tried and quite honestly hasn't worked all that well.

717
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: What does need to be done here. What you're the

718
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: Trump administration's approach to North Korea, b Well, I first

719
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: like to say I really was pleased to discuss this

720
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: with you and Fox and Friends recently about your comments

721
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: were excellent. You know, if we're six months in the administration,

722
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: this is a complicated issue. When Trump has not said

723
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: what he's going to do. I think that's the right approach.

724
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: I am. I hate to say, I think conflict with

725
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: North Korea is coming, the military conflict, unless the US

726
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: takes some fairly aggressive steps. And I recommended that we

727
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: implement sanctions at China and Russia have been blocking for

728
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: almost twenty five years. That is, stopping and searching North

729
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: Korean ships at c to search for nuclear missile parts

730
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: as well as drugs and counterfeit currency UH, cutting off

731
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,919
Speaker 1: North Korea's access to the national financial system, shooting down

732
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: North Korea missiles, and increasing our nuclear deterrent in the

733
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: region as well as missile defenses. These these steps would

734
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: not just put pressure on North Korea, they will create

735
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: a situation that China just hates, and frankly, the status

736
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: quo is too comfortable for China. I think we had

737
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: to put pressure on them to pressure North Korea. Now,

738
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting you mentioned Russia before and

739
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: North Korea. Of course, the G twenty summit happening right

740
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: now in North Korea is a topic of discussion in

741
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 1: the news. I'm sure all of the various world leaders

742
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: gathered are also going to be discussing the North Korean threat,

743
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: the growing problem that is posed by the Kim regime there.

744
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: What's Russia's game when it comes to North Korea? What

745
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: do you Putin views this as a way to complicate

746
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: matters for US. Boga's down, keep US focused on China

747
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: not him. What what do you see as Putin's play

748
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: when it comes to North Korea. Russia is trying to

749
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: cause problems for the United States and give some aid

750
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: to North Korea. They cut off most of their aid

751
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: after the further Soviet Union. China's relationship is much more

752
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: serious about in North Korean trade aid is with China.

753
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: This is a substantial amount of economic aid. China is

754
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: worried about North Korea falling, which would cause refugees to

755
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: flow north and instability in the region. Um they have

756
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: different reasons for supporting North Korea. I think Russia's is

757
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: basically to be mischievous and undermine us China there are

758
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: more strategic interests. Yeah, and putting full pressure on China,

759
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 1: and your opinion means what when it comes to getting

760
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: them to to play ball on North Korea. It's difficult

761
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: because they don't want to play ball in North Korea

762
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: and they there's actually Chinese trade with North Korea increased

763
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: by in the first quarter. I think we have to

764
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: create an economic, political, and military situation that makes the

765
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: Chinese so uncomfortable they will actually press North Korea to

766
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: change its ways, maybe by substantially withholding aid. That situation

767
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't exist right now, but I think there are

768
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: ways we can do that. Fred Flights is senior vice

776
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: currently going on in Hamburg. Here's some of the the

777
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: audio of what's going on there. As a hundred thousand protesters. Uh,

778
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:38,439
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand protesters have descended on Hamburg of two.

779
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, express their displeasure with capitalism. Apparently, I

780
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: don't know what they're you know, capital capital is cut put.

781
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really know what they're yelling. Sons

782
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 1: actually took some German. I'm ashamed to say I remember

783
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: very little of it, but you know, it's very helpful

784
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: for the zoogs accents. So it's like I have all

785
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: these people from all the class of Europe and they're

786
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,439
Speaker 1: getting to guess and they're like, oh, well, we don't

787
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: like the capitalism. I mean, we all came here in

788
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: like the fancy vehicles, and we like the three thousand

789
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: dollar laptop computers. But you know, capitalism is very evil.

790
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't like it. It's not so could so yeah there,

791
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: I look, I know a lot of protests probably are

792
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: in German. I know they're coming from all over well,

793
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: I mean most of them, I'm guessing are terum. I

794
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 1: don't know, they're coming from all over Europe. And I'm

795
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 1: sure you're gonna have some element of black block. Well,

796
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: you have had some moment of black block, because there

797
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: have been there's been fires and they got police bringing

798
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: out the water cannons and all kinds are crazy. It's

799
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: happening right now. And you have the possibility of a

800
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: Porsche dealership with that was torched. Looks like that was

801
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: some anti capitalist protests. I mean, to light brand new

802
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: Porsche's on fire. I mean, it's just it's like defacing

803
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: a work of art. I don't know what what it's

804
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: wrong with these these leftist loons, but this is what

805
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: they're doing. You got Chancellor Angela Merkel, Hello, cousin tug Worlds.

806
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm leading the tan. It's going to be fantastic. You've

807
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: got Angelo Merkel getting together with people, are gett together

808
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: with these world leaders, um, and they're gonna be talking

809
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: about trade and climate change. So I guess that's that's

810
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: what really brings out the crazies at the moment you're

811
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: talking about about issues of economics and and climate change.

812
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: Of course you're going to have these really these zealots

813
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 1: who think that they're making some kind of a critical

814
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 1: political point by acting like total maniacs and clashing with police.

815
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: And there will be all these videos of this, and

816
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, because they want to protest the G twenty.

817
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: I mean just by way of background, because people will

818
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: be talking about the G twenty, and I know it's

819
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: one of these things where I was like, yeah, you know, hey,

820
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, the the G twenty. That's a thing. But

821
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: so we are all on the same page here, and

822
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 1: I've been reading about it today and there's stuff that

823
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: I was learning about I want to share. The G

824
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: twenty is the Group of twenty. So it's twenty different

825
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: countries that are leading countries in terms of their industrialized

826
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: and industrialized economies. Between these twenty countries, they account for

827
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: eighty five per cent of the world's GDP. So I

828
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: keep mind they're over two hundred countries. Are roughly two

829
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: hundred countries in the world, and of the world's gross

830
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: domestic product comes from these twenty countries, and two thirds

831
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: of the world's population come from these twenty countries. You know,

832
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,240
Speaker 1: part of the problem of for example, like the United

833
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: Nations and and the models of international governance that are

834
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: foisted on us by the global cosmopolitanists who tend to

835
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 1: be over represented in the ranks of the elites, both

836
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: in media, academia and politics in this country as well

837
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: as in Europe. Part of the problem is that their

838
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: model of global leadership tends to treat Micronesia as needing

839
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 1: a somewhat similar say to well, maybe not necessarily China

840
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: and the countries that are on the UN Security Council

841
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 1: on such, but you know other countries that are like

842
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: big countries with lots of folks and bigger problems or

843
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: did different problems, and that affect other countries around them

844
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: in a way that I mean no offense Micronesia, but

845
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: you know it's it's not not a big place. Um.

846
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: If I do recall though, was a part of the

847
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: coalition of the Willing. I think Micronesia back in the

848
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 1: bush era was one of the forty some odd countries

849
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: that was part of the coalition the Willing. I could

850
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: be wrong on that, but I think it was if

851
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: you were to check that out. Side note fun fun

852
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: fact to a little bit of trivia for you. Uh So,

853
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: where were we here? Oh? Yes, the G twenty. So

854
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: the G twenty is going on in Hamburg for the

855
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: next couple of days. Hamburg, which, as you much have

856
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 1: already guessed, is where it gets its term Hamburger, y'all.

857
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: Uh Like also Frankfoot, which gave us the frankfoot, which

858
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: we now call a hot dog, but if you want

859
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: to be fancy, you call it a frankfoot. Uh so

860
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: Hamburger frankfoot. But also you don't want to say it

861
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: been iron Berlina because Berliner is and we're saying I'm

862
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: Berliner rather is is a pastry. So JFK was saying,

863
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a pastry. But really what he meant

864
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: to say, is it been Berlina would be I'm I'm

865
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: a person from Berlin. It been iron Berliner is, Like

866
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 1: it would be like saying, you know, I'm if you're

867
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 1: from Frankfort, you know I'm a frankfoot or like the

868
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: thing that people eat. Uh again, do you need to

869
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: know that? Well? May do you do fun stuff G

870
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: twenty leaders or your G twenty countries. I just want

871
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: to run through so you get a sense of what's

872
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: going and then we're talking more about the crazy anti

873
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: capitalists stuff that's going on there because you see this,

874
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: it's like the w t L protests that happened years

875
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: ago in Seattle. They're kicking in windows and get all

876
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,320
Speaker 1: these guys in black block. Mber. Black block is a

877
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: protest tactic. Uh favored by those on the far left.

878
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: But it started in Germany, in fact Schwatzer Block. Yeah,

879
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: it started in Germany in the nineteen seventies and it

880
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: had to do with anti nuclear protests and that's when

881
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: you would be But it became more much more well

882
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: known and popular after the w t O Seattle protests,

883
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: and I think it was because there was a video

884
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: of that, and I mean the streets of Seattle look

885
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 1: like it looked like a bad day. And in Baghdad

886
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: or Mogadisha, I mean it was really a lot of

887
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: destruction and tear gas and all kinds of stuff going on.

888
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: But so the g twenty countries before I get back

889
00:53:55,680 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: into the protests. Here you've got Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia,

890
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Turkey, the UK, the US of A, China,

891
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:15,800
Speaker 1: South Africa, and wait am I missing one. Oh, the

892
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,959
Speaker 1: European Union AP PEP PEP, PEP, the European Union which

893
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: is represented by the European Commission. So that's the gent

894
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: And you know they talked about some economic stuff. I

895
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: think they're there are bankers that are present to This

896
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: is different from the G eight. For those of you

897
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: who really want to get down on the weeds here,

898
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: I know you're like buck, really yeah, really the G

899
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: eight which started back in nineteen seventy six. It was

900
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: originally the G seven, but then we added Russia. Thank good,

901
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: comrade vercentth of you. But then we kicked Russia out.

902
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: What why did you kicks? The sole mean we kicked

903
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: them out, well, not kicked them out, but we suspended

904
00:54:55,600 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: their membership in because of their annexation of crime Mia.

905
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: So it's the It wasn't G seven. It became a

906
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 1: G eight because we added Russia into it. But those

907
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 1: are like the those like the big the big dogs

908
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: on the international scene Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia,

909
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: the UK and the United States. And then and then

910
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: you know, Russia. Russia will be back in and I'm

911
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: sure at some point. So that's why that's what this is.

912
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's really just a consortium that each

913
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: one is a consort in different countries come together and

914
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: have senior leaders discussing economic issues, trade issues predominantly, and

915
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll be talking about climate change too, which

916
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:38,919
Speaker 1: would be interesting to be a fly on the wall

917
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: for some of those discussions with the Trump administration. You

918
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: know what what climate change? What? Who says who? What

919
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: climate change? I don't think they're going to be getting

920
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: very far on that, but there will be some other

921
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: issues where I think they'll be discussions. But all right,

922
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: So back to the the anti capitalist protests, though, I

923
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: just don't understand the mentality of these are all it's

924
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: young people that do this stuff, right, People who have

925
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 1: lived past the age of thirty five tend not to

926
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: want to catch a tear gas canister in the forehead, right,

927
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's that there's not much excitement. It's like

928
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: me now when I go out drinking for one night,

929
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 1: and not that I go out drinking heavily, but if

930
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: I go out and and socialize the next day, I'm

931
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 1: just there's no rebounding anymore, right, I'm just I'm out,

932
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: like I gotta sleep and take it easy. Yeah. I

933
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: think you reach a certain point where you're like, tear

934
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: gas not not really my thing. So it tends to

935
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 1: be people who are really in their twenties and into

936
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: their early thirties, I suppose, and they're protesting capitalism, and

937
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: I just I kind of want to ask them, it'd

938
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: be interesting to sit down and have a discussion with

939
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: these protesters who are lighting cars on fire, breaking windows,

940
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:47,919
Speaker 1: acting like maniacs in general, what exactly do you think

941
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: you're doing here? Like, what is the what is the

942
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: purpose of all this? Well, what's the mentality behind this?

943
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: You think you're going to get what concession out of

944
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 1: these G twenty countries that there will be more action

945
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: on climate change? What would that even look like? What

946
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: is the purpose of a of a mass protest movement

947
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: like this? Remember they're calling it the Welcome to Hell protests.

948
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: The cops are worried that thousands of these protesters will

949
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: turn violent, and they're just describe as anti capitalist protesters.

950
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: It's like, what what does that even mean? I mean,

951
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: I know we have them in America, tune I remember

952
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: the from Occupy Wall Street, But I think they just

953
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: want to throw a tantrum and tell stories. We'll be back.

Speaker 1: a new book out, The Unholy Trinity, Blocking the Left's

960

Speaker 1: assault on life, marriage and gender, and he's an author

961
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: at The Blaze. Mr wall Street to have you back. Hey,

962
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. But so I talked to the

963
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: folks listening last week about the very distressing Charlie guard case.

964
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: I know you've written about this at the Blaze dot com.

965
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear your take on on what we

966
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 1: should take away from all this, What this tells us

967
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: about the state it's decisions and the culture surrounding uh, well,

968
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: the culture surrounding this decision the UK and here at home, well,

969
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: let me and tells us it tells us so much,

970
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: so much more than he than we uh than we

971
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: want to face or no. But it's what this this

972
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: tas comes down to you from me, is you know

973
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: a question of well, I guess there are two questions.

974
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: Is there's a question of the sanctity of human life.

975
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: Is all life's sacred, which of course it is. And

976
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: the second question is, uh, is you know who should

977
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: be in charge at the end of the day of

978
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: medical decisions to who should have to say about what

979
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: treatments are given. Should it be the patient or the

980
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: patient's paints, if patient of the child, or should it

981
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: be a state you know, the combination of the state

982
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: and the hospital and some sort of board of people

983
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: that they get together and they have their formulas and

984
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: they work everything out which which party concerns should be

985
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: the one making decisions. And when you and obviously in

986
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: a single pair socialist health care system, you're gonna see

987
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: that power to the state. And so we see here

988
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: what happens, and we could say, oh, we want this

989
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: is like a worst case scenario type of thing, and

990
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: it is a terrible scenario, but it's not it's not

991
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: really worse case. I mean, this is or at least

992
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: in a sense that this isn't some rare kind of

993
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: strange thing that's going This is not. This is a feature,

994
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,479
Speaker 1: not a bug of socialized medicine where the state comes

995
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: in and says, look, it's just not worth the resources

996
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,439
Speaker 1: to quote unquote waste on this child that's probably gonna

997
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: die anyway. That's one of the reasons why socialized medicine exists,

998
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: to make decisions like this, so that we could be

999
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: more efficient and uh, it truly is just horrifying. It

1000
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: seems to me that's one of the fundamental fallacies has

1001
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: taken root in this country around the idea of single payer, which,

1002
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: as you know Matt is is gaining steam on the

1003
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: on the left these days. Bernie Sanders was open about

1004
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: it during the presidential primary, but there are still a

1005
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: lot of people that are saying, look, they Republicans can't

1006
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: fix Obamacare, let's go to single payer. There's this belief

1007
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: and it's a it really is a socialist, redistributionist inclination

1008
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: that the state will do a better job of distributing

1009
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: scarce resources, in this case healthcare and sometimes life saving

1010
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: resources than the market will. Now, neither one of them

1011
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: is perfect, but I think we have ample evidence, including

1012
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: what's going on in the UK, to show that the

1013
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: state is a much where you're in much worse hands

1014
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: when the state is making decisions about scarce resources when

1015
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: it comes to healthcare, or I should say not infinite

1016
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: resources when it comes to healthcare. Then when individuals at

1017
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: least can be the drivers behind those choices, yeah, I

1018
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 1: and and you're it's not perfect either way. It can

1019
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 1: complain about the insurance companies all you want, because I

1020
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: we're talking about a free market system that meanses the

1021
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: insurance companies make a lot of these decisions, and so

1022
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: you can say that you you end up with similar

1023
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: situations where the insurance company says we're not gonna cover

1024
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: this's not gonna cover this treatment. But there's a difference.

1025
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: Now if I have to choose between having the big

1026
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: bad insurance companies basically running the insured the health care system,

1027
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,439
Speaker 1: which is what happens in free market inevitably, for having

1028
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: the state doing it, I'm gonna go with the with

1029
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: the with the with the insurance companies. And the reason

1030
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: for that is really simple. It's because the insurance companies

1031
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 1: don't have um militaries, they don't have police, they don't

1032
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: make laws, they can't they can't tell me what to do.

1033
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: So all the all the insurance company can do. And

1034
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 1: if this was if if there's an insurance company in

1035
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: charge of the Charlie the Charlie Guard case, all they

1036
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: could have done is said we're not going to cover that.

1037
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: But what they can't do is what the what the

1038
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, European quote unbore Human Rights Court did in

1039
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: this case, which you say, not only are we not

1040
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: going to cover it? But you're not allowed to have

1041
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 1: anyone covered it. You can't even cover it yourself. Do

1042
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: you have a million and a half dollars donated to you?

1043
01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 1: You can't even use that and go to a different

1044
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: country and have it covered. You can't do it. So

1045
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 1: that's what the state has the power to do that

1046
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: Insurance companies don't. All they can do is say we're

1047
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: we don't want to be involved this treatment, but if

1048
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: you can find someone else, do it, God bless you.

1049
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: So Yeah, if I have to choose two, I'm gonna

1050
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: go with that one because I think that that's you know,

1051
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: there are there are some downsides cold, but not nearly

1052
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: as many downsides. We're speaking to Matt Walsh. His new

1053
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 1: book is out, it's The Unholy Trinity, and he is

1054
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: an author at The Blaze. Uh, Matt, did did you

1055
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: by chance? See? I'm gonna be talking more about transgender,

1056
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: transgenderism and the state of I D when it comes

1057
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: to transgenderism, and also now pediatric pediatric care for for

1058
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: pre pubescent uh self identified transgender kids, which is just

1059
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: it's insane, it's abusive, and I can't believe already there

1060
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: but did you see the the transactivists over the weekend

1061
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: who was writing something about how attraction to trans either

1062
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: that that that for a heterosexual male to be attracted

1063
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: to a trans female meaning a man that believes or

1064
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: a man that is a heterosexual thing. No, it's not.

1065
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: And this seems to be now yet another incidence of

1066
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: reality does not matter, that that transgender rights transcends rationality. Yeah,

1067
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 1: I did see that. Unfortunately I got into a pretty

1068
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: useless back and forth. Oh I didn't know that you

1069
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: went back and forth on Twitter. Tell how did that go? Um? Well,

1070
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: I mean this is Look, this is an illusional person

1071
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: that this is a person who's a man dressed up

1072
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: like a woman thinks a woman, and his point, and

1073
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: he's not the anyone saying this. I mean, this is

1074
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: becoming more and more popular that if you're heterosexual, and

1075
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: you are, and you have ruled out the possibility of

1076
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: having sexual relations with a quote unquote trans woman, which

1077
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: is a man that thinks he's a woman. If you

1078
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: rule out that possibility and you refuse to you know,

1079
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: be romantically involved with, you know, someone that has your

1080
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: same sexual origan, then that makes you a bigot, you know,

1081
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: and you need to as you put, you get to

1082
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: work through that. You gotta work through that biggest tree.

1083
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 1: And it's so I mean, it's of course ridiculous. But

1084
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: the the what I said to them immediate response is, well,

1085
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: would you say that to gape? I thought were not

1086
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 1: allowed to say that. Would you say to gay people? Hey, look,

1087
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: if if you've ruled out the possibility of having sexual

1088
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: relations with a woman and you gotta work through that,

1089
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta figure that out, because that's not okay,

1090
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: that's sexist. You know, we would never say that to

1091
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: okay person because we've always I thought, we've always the

1092
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: what we've accepted as doctrine is that sexual orientation is

1093
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: is ingrained and everything and it can't be changed and

1094
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: you have to embrace it. But even that which we

1095
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: saw that we thought that that idea of sexual orientation

1096
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: things some grain genetic thing. We thought that that was

1097
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: doctrine on the left. But apparently even that doctrine can

1098
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: be upended to the sake of you know, transgender rights

1099
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: were now we're even being told that you know, it's

1100
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: it's not it's not enough to accept transgenders and were

1101
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 1: tolerated now as a man, you actually you actually have

1102
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: to be open to dating these people, because if you

1103
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: won't go that far as then you're still a bigot.

1104
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I saw a poll that said something

1105
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: like only of men would would consider dating a transgender woman,

1106
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: and it was supposed to be evidence of like ingering bigotry.

1107
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, no, that's just men who only

1108
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: want to date women. That's called heterosexual. I don't understand

1109
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: why this is common. This is not complicated. And that's

1110
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: and I'm and I saw that same pole and I

1111
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: was actually I was shocked and disturbed that it was

1112
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: that high. I mean yeah, it was something like twenty really,

1113
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean almost of many would be Okay, Actually, I

1114
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: agree with you. I'm surprised too. I mean, look, you

1115
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: do that pulse twenty years ago and in the percentage

1116
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: will be like point zero zero one. So I mean, really,

1117
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: that's the thing. So they've all even with that number,

1118
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: and they ex framed as a bad thing, but they've

1119
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: gained a lot of ground there. I mean that's really

1120
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 1: actually kind of a staggering number that that many men

1121
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: would be open to that, but it's still not enough.

1122
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: And this is what we find on the left across

1123
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 1: the board. It's the same story over and over again

1124
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: that they you know, it's never enough to except, it's

1125
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 1: never enough enough to tolerate. You have to celebrate. And

1126
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: even there it's not even that isn't enough, Like it's

1127
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: got to be. It has to be everyone, like the

1128
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: kid's not it's not even okay if it's most people.

1129
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: Everybody in the country has to be celebrated what they're doing,

1130
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,439
Speaker 1: every last person, And it's not if every last person

1131
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: has not been. Yeah, I always say mad. It starts

1132
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: I've said it before, I'll say it again. It starts

1133
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 1: with they request tolerance and then acceptance and then celebration

1134
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 1: and then obedience. That that is the full arc at

1135
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: the end of it. It's not even just oh, it's

1136
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 1: great that you're trans asked me, it's great your transgender,

1137
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: and I'll use the pronoun they, which is plural for

1138
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 1: you as an individual, because you demand it with the

1139
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 1: force of the state behind you, which is I think

1140
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: what's coming when it comes to all this transgender stuff.

1141
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: They're they're going to use the force of the state.

1142
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: We already see it in Canada. Yeah, well it's it's Yeah,

1143
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: the next step is that, Yeah, I'll call you to

1144
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: the PRONO anyone. And then the next step after that is, oh,

1145
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 1: can we go out on a date like that's you know,

1146
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: you have to That's going to be the final step

1147
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: of it. I don't know if they're gonna get to

1148
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: a point where they can enforce that by by the

1149
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: state will come up with laws like a certain quote

1150
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: of trans people you have to date. If you're saying

1151
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, who knows, you know, fast

1152
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: forward fifty years, maybe we'll get to that point. It

1153
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: is uh, it's it's this is why, you know, say

1154
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: it over and over again, but this is why as

1155
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: people on the right, when we're dealing with the left, it's, uh,

1156
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: you can't forget about it evolves into irrationality. It's it's

1157
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: self contradicting. They don't even need us to contradict them.

1158
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 1: And you and when you when you have, when you're

1159
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: standing for the truth and you have the truth on

1160
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: your side, you cannot compromise at all. You can't give

1161
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 1: up any ground at all because if you give up

1162
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: any ground, and it's not gonna be enough, and they're

1163
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 1: gonna want more and more. So you just have to

1164
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 1: stay in your ground and on all this stuff, whatever

1165
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: it is. You just if you have the truth and

1166
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: you know you're right, you know something like this like

1167
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: men or men, women or women, that's the truth, period

1168
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: and the discussion, and you stand by that truth and

1169
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: you compromise not at all, because the moment you start compromising,

1170
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: then it's it's just you go sliding down, and you

1171
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 1: go sliding down the slope. Yeah, well, we get to

1172
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: where this country is already, which is pretty far down

1173
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: the slope. Matt Walsh everybody author at the Blaze. Check

1174
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: out his book The Unholy Trinity, Blocking the Left Assault

1175
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: on life, marriage and gender. Matt always appreciate you making

1176
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: the time come back soon, but like what, Tam, we

1177
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: are going to hit a break. Will be right back.

1178
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: Tated to do much talking on the show about a

1179
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:19,560
Speaker 1: self described activist who's very anti Israel and uh subscribe

1180
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: to the inflammatory leftist school of politics. Um, but Linda

1181
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: Star sore. We should probably invite her on the show sometimes.

1182
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: See if should come on. That'd be kind of a fun,

1183
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: a fun exchange. I'm thinking about doing more of that,

1184
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: by the way, inviting on leftist to defend their incredibly

1185
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: crappy and unprincipled and just generally bad positions. But it's

1186
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: tough to get them to come on, especially on a

1187
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 1: radio show. There's no hiding on radio. Really, it's not

1188
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: like TV where there's shiny objects so to speak to

1189
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 1: distract people and oh no, no, no, wait, wait, I'm

1190
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 1: gonna call for a clip here, hold on you you're

1191
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: beating my argument. So now the host is going to

1192
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: call for a clip or oh, we have to go

1193
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: into a break here because the network whatever know, and

1194
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 1: radio you've got time to make the arguments. And it's

1195
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: just the arguments, right, that's not the The theatricality of

1196
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,600
Speaker 1: the visual is taken out of the equation and so

1197
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 1: it becomes just argument and counter arguments. So leftists. This

1198
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: is also why I think, by the way, the leftists

1199
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: tended to do badly on radio as a medium. They

1200
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: just don't succeed. Um anyway, Linda sar Sore she was

1201
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: speaking at an event over the weekend I think it was.

1202
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: And just so you know who this person is, she's

1203
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: the co chair of the Woman's March that happened recently,

1204
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: which is of course anti Trump, right, all these different

1205
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 1: marches are anti Trump and say what you will about Trump,

1206
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 1: but he certainly has plenty of He's gotten all the

1207
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: right people upset at him, that's for sure. Um but

1208
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 1: he uh, but she I should say, pardon me. Linda

1209
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:03,719
Speaker 1: sar Sore said that resisting Donald Trump is a quote

1210
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: form of jihad. I think we should actually hear miss

1211
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:16,520
Speaker 1: our store here in her own words. Do not criticize

1212
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 1: me when I say that we as a Muslim community

1213
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 1: in these United States of America have to be perpetually outraged.

1214
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 1: Every single when I wake up in the morning and

1215
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,560
Speaker 1: I remember who's sitting in the White House, I am outraged.

1216
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,680
Speaker 1: And I hope that we when we stand up to

1217
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: those who oppress our communities, that a lot accepts from

1218
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 1: us that as a form of jihad, that we are

1219
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 1: struggling against tyrants and rulers, not only abroad, but here

1220
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: in these United States of America, where you have fascists

1221
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,639
Speaker 1: and white supremacists and Islami folks reigning in the White House.

1222
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: Our number one, on top priority is to protect and

1223
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: defend our community. It is not to assimilate and to

1224
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 1: please any other people in authority. But even higher than

1225
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: all those priorities is to please allot and only a lot, okay,

1226
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot to work through there, because I

1227
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 1: think that miss our sore who has it not that

1228
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:14,440
Speaker 1: Twitter is the be all end all. I mean increasingly

1229
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: find myself wishing that I could just not have to

1230
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:22,759
Speaker 1: ever tweet anything. But she has like two thousand follows

1231
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 1: from Twitter. She was the co chair of the Anti

1232
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,679
Speaker 1: Trump March, and she was speaking there at the Islamic

1233
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: Society of North America's fifty fourth annual convention over the weekend,

1234
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: So she was I believe she yes, she was the

1235
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 1: keynote speaker, um, the keynote speaker at this at least

1236
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 1: at this part of the event. And she is very

1237
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: uh anti Israel as just an aside, but also obviously

1238
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: has her problems with this administration. A few notable points

1239
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: she makes here. One she says that the Muslim community

1240
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: in this country should be perpetually outraged. So at least

1241
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: she's coming out here and and saying it, uh, saying

1242
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 1: that there should just be perpetual outrage at this White House.

1243
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 1: You think that a more reasonable position would be, well,

1244
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: let's see what the White House does. Where's the outrage?

1245
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 1: She mentioned earlier on I actually listened to a longer

1246
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 1: excerpt of the speech that you know, Muslim Ban one,

1247
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: Muslim Ban two, and then Muslim Ban three, they're not

1248
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: Muslim bands. Calling them that is inaccurate, And I still

1249
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 1: think I have a much better um. You know, a

1250
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 1: vetting upgrade is a travel vetting upgrade is a much

1251
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 1: better way to describe it than a travel band. I

1252
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 1: don't know what this has not yet caught on, much

1253
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: to my chagrin, but that that would be a better

1254
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: better description of all this. Um. But she says they

1255
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: should be perpetually outrage, which is not a that's not

1256
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: a healthy place for anyone or any community to be

1257
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 1: in perpetual outrage. But it's really a dominant theme on

1258
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: the left there. They are perpetually outrage. Never mind just

1259
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 1: leftist Muslim activists in this country, but just in general,

1260
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 1: you have perpetual outrage. I mean the the whole media

1261
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 1: ecosystem right now, left and I will admit on much

1262
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: of the right, it's just are are outrage all right, angry, angry.

1263
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,560
Speaker 1: It's just it's tiresome, and you know it's also just

1264
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: it's just intellectually lazy to always be so outrage. Oh,

1265
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm so angry about this. I'm angry about that, Surprised

1266
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: at how little uh, surprised at how the market doesn't

1267
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: seem to be particularly rewarding, thoughtful or insightful, and is

1268
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 1: increasingly rewarding in media loud and angry on both sides

1269
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,639
Speaker 1: of the aisle, but particularly in the left these days

1270
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 1: because of Trump. It's just overwhelming. Um. The notice also

1271
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: the way that she I thought this was this just

1272
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 1: stuck out to me. She has the way that she speaks.

1273
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 1: It's the the cadence of a demagogue, right, It's just

1274
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 1: the speaking rapidly, so you have the the the immediate

1275
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,640
Speaker 1: perception of the audience is somehow l quence because she's

1276
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,640
Speaker 1: speaking very quickly and and terms kind of uh that

1277
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:08,599
Speaker 1: she ever uses alliteration or even some rhymes, and bringing

1278
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, bringing together our communities against Trump. We have

1279
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: the need to disintegrate the nonsensical reiteration of the Muslim

1280
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: band and the the the cadence is um, you know,

1281
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:28,760
Speaker 1: the cadence is Hrobably, it is interesting to me. It's

1282
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:30,920
Speaker 1: just the way that she speaks. To me. It reminds

1283
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 1: me a lot of these activists have a similar a

1284
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: similar method a similar method of getting their their points across,

1285
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: which I just I know, I think it's just a

1286
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 1: stylistic thing maybe on the left. Um So anyway, and

1287
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: then we have a few other what was it, Uh

1288
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 1: oh yeah, fascist and white supremacists in the White House. Um,

1289
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 1: fascist and white supremacist in the White House. Uh, that's

1290
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 1: a smear. I don't know why we are supposed to

1291
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 1: take anyone seriously who refers to white supremacists in the

1292
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 1: White House. But yet here we are. This has become uh,

1293
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, commonplace. Um, you know, this has become a uh,

1294
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 1: this has become something that you'll hear from many people

1295
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 1: on the left, that there are white supremacists in the

1296
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: White House, that there are fascists in the White House. Uh.

1297
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say other than I think

1298
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 1: this is immediately disqualifying for anyone who's a public person

1299
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,920
Speaker 1: to make such outrageous claims. But there they are. And

1300
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: then at the end, Instruant she said, we are not

1301
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: to not to assimilate, not to assimilates. Um. You know,

1302
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 1: that's an interesting position to take, I would think anyway. Um,

1303
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 1: So that's lend us our store for you, everybody. We'll

1304
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 1: get more into that later on, and I'll be following

1305
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 1: what she's up to in the media and we'll talk

1306
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 1: about CNN coming up. The Freedom Hunt rocks online too.

1315
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to say that, um. Firstly, for the first

1316
01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: last seven years, I've lived in Romania and in your

1317
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: show was a bright spots although I'd have to get

1318
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: up at six in the morning to download it, but

1319
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 1: you're I love your you love your commentary. You bring

1320
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: on different people to discuss different topics and it's an

1321
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: awesome show. Thank you so much, man, I really do

1322
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:47,400
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Good um. Secondly, I wanted to bring up

1323
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: Trump speech in Poland, which I just recently watched and

1324
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 1: I thought that it was awesome and in relation to

1325
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 1: the Balkan region as far as those countries go, you know,

1326
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: it's it's something I think America into the lost track

1327
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: of par as far as their independence, their democracy and

1328
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 1: things the socialized health care. It's nice to see those

1329
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:12,800
Speaker 1: regions and those people who have been I guess repressed

1330
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: for so many years, especially Romania with Tosku and Poland

1331
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 1: with its Russia, that they they they are hungry for

1332
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: that democracy and it's awesome. Yeo. Eastern Europe is a

1333
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: is a place that has a particularly pro American attitude

1334
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 1: because when we talk about freedom and liberty and individual

1335
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 1: rights and property rights and free markets, that's a new

1336
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,680
Speaker 1: thing for Eastern Europe and and they see what it

1337
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 1: does and they want more of it. And because they've

1338
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 1: understood the alternative, because they had to live it under

1339
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union, I think that they have a particular,

1340
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: a particular excitement and and quite honestly particular fondness for

1341
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,719
Speaker 1: America and what it stands for. And you saw that today.

1342
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,799
Speaker 1: I mean that the crowds in Poland were cheering President

1343
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Trump's name. They it was he had to stop and

1344
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 1: a few times because the crowd was so excited that

1345
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,680
Speaker 1: he was there, and it's just it's, you know, kind

1346
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 1: of gives you goose bumps in it too. I'm I'm

1347
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 1: I have communities here in the US, or Romanian and

1348
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: Polish communities, and they are just good, hard working people.

1349
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 1: And I'm not to diminish Americans because I am I

1350
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: just recently move back. But it's it's neat to see. Uh,

1351
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 1: I guess a pride coming back to everybody here too.

1352
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 1: So thank you Buck, absolutely, Robert, thank you Shields. I

1353
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: I should note I didn't get into is really before,

1354
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: but I do want to take a moment to say

1355
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 1: that obviously not everybody was happy with Trump speech. Uh.

1356
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:45,959
Speaker 1: The stuff that you read from the left is just amazing.

1357
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes they are really they're incredible. Uh, here's what here's

1358
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: what we got. Um. First of all, you have a piece.

1359
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: I thought maybe this was a parody at first. You

1360
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 1: got to be careful because Vox. It's hard to know

1361
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: the difference with Vox, which is a leftist website, between

1362
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:10,720
Speaker 1: a parody of progressivism and what they actually right. You know,

1363
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: there's some really funny Vox parody stuff out there. I mean,

1364
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 1: the difference between a Fox headline and what you'll find

1365
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:20,719
Speaker 1: on the onion. Sometimes is is infinitesimal, it's very very small.

1366
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 1: But he got a few things. First of all, Vox

1367
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: rights today in response to Trump's speech quote Trump's speech

1368
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 1: in Poland sounded like an alt right manifesto? What is

1369
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 1: that an all right manifest how So, by the way,

1370
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: the subheading of this of this piece that's meant to

1371
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 1: really pan Trump's speech, I meant to really just just

1372
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: say that it's it's a was a bad garbage speech. Um.

1373
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:58,839
Speaker 1: The subheading is quote for family, for freedom, for country,

1374
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: and for odd. Now you put these two things together,

1375
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 1: Trump's speech in Poland sounds like an alright manifesto for family,

1376
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 1: for freedom, for country, and for God. So are we

1377
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 1: to take away from this that the left believes that

1378
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 1: those things family, freedom, country, God, those are those are

1379
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,600
Speaker 1: all the right things? I mean, I know that's an exaggeration.

1380
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: And you know I love when when the occasional imbecile

1381
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 1: on the left, it listens to the show will take

1382
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: like one line of what I say, even if the

1383
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,280
Speaker 1: next line is, well, I mean, that's an exaggeration, but

1384
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm making a point. You said this will send me

1385
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: some email. But it's like, what is do people enjoy

1386
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:43,240
Speaker 1: being stupid. Sometimes I don't I don't understand, but anyway,

1387
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 1: I digress. Uh. Trump's speech sounds like an all right

1388
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 1: manifesto for family, freedom, country, and God pardon me for

1389
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 1: borrowing the phrase, but this is how you get Trump.

1390
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: This is why Trump won. When you have websites with

1391
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: Vox is huge. Everybody Soma money. And you know the

1392
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 1: difference in Vox and the Huffington Post is, you know,

1393
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. One of them was started by a

1394
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 1: woman who's like darling Democrats and that are Republicans are

1395
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 1: not not coming together because the left is really about

1396
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:17,680
Speaker 1: all of the progressive values. You know, Huffington's and I

1397
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 1: don't know, Vox has got as reclined. I don't have

1398
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 1: a good as reclined impersonation, but it would not be

1399
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: a particularly dynamic and humorous impersonation. But you got this

1400
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: website that's saying that Trump speech was alt right and

1401
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 1: it sounded like an all right manifesto. And you go back,

1402
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 1: you listen to it, or you read the transcript, and

1403
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: you'll say to yourself, wow, um so talking about America

1404
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: as a defender of Western civilization, Western civilization itself as

1405
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: a concept is now on the left. Uh, dubious. This

1406
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 1: is a problem. And for further evidence of this, I

1407
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: go to Mr Peter Binert, whom I actually know from

1408
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:01,680
Speaker 1: from my time at CNN and did some panels and

1409
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: discussions in which he was involved, and he tends to

1410
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 1: get very energized and uh and aggravated with me when

1411
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 1: we talked foreign policy. But maybe I'll have to run

1412
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 1: those clips another day on the show. Be kind of fun.

1413
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:18,840
Speaker 1: But he wrote in his piece for The Atlantic, which

1414
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:24,719
Speaker 1: is one of those seemingly fancy left wing publications. Quote

1415
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: in his speech and Poland, Donald Trump preferred ten times

1416
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 1: to the West and five times to our civilization. His

1417
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: white nationalist supporters will understand exactly what he means. It's

1418
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: important that other Americans do too. The West is not

1419
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: a geographic term. Poland is further east than Morocco, France

1420
01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 1: is further east than Haiti. Australia is further east than Egypt.

1421
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 1: Yet Poland, France, and Australia are all considered parts of

1422
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 1: the West. Morocco, Haiti, and Egypt are not. The West

1423
01:22:56,720 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: is not an ideological or economic term either. India is

1424
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,919
Speaker 1: the world's largest democracy, Japan is among its most economic

1425
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: advanced nations. No one considers them part of the West.

1426
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: I would actually, by the way, disagree with them that

1427
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: Japan is not considered to be uh at least ideologically

1428
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: aligned with the West and is one of our closest allies.

1429
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:19,920
Speaker 1: But he says here is the West is a racial

1430
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:23,640
Speaker 1: and religious term. To be considered a Western country. To

1431
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: be considered Western country must be largely Christian and largely white. Um. Well,

1432
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:38,639
Speaker 1: Western civilization because it started in ancient Greece and then

1433
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 1: made its way to ancient Rome, and then with Christianity

1434
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 1: and carried the torch through Europe and then Great Britain.

1435
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm doing the history of Western civilization

1436
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:55,639
Speaker 1: in like fifteen seconds here. But uh, it is actually

1437
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 1: a set of beliefs in ideology. It is Judeo Christian,

1438
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 1: and it is the history of a region with many

1439
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: different peoples from all of the world. I think it's

1440
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 1: interesting that he suggests that these countries that their ethnic

1441
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 1: identity is somehow more important than their ideology, when in

1442
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 1: fact there has been there have been migrations of people's

1443
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 1: from well the Muslim world, North Africa as far away

1444
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 1: as Mongolian fact into what is now known as the West. Uh.

1445
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 1: And there's there's no particular way, as I was saying before,

1446
01:24:31,439 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 1: to draw these boundaries, that is precise. But I suppose

1447
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:40,280
Speaker 1: we're supposed to take from this that Western civilization is

1448
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 1: not something that is definable and also not something that

1449
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 1: should be defensible. Uh where where does that leave us?

1450
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: By the way, you'll notice, I mean this passes for

1451
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 1: being scholarly on the left saying that Western civilization is

1452
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 1: unique and special and as an ideology and it's not

1453
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 1: racially or ethnically based, despite what the progressives will say. Um,

1454
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:09,479
Speaker 1: but they just always prefer to denigrate Western civilization. And

1455
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: they wonder why people don't really want to hear their

1456
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 1: thirty thousand foot thoughts on everything going on all over

1457
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 1: the world. They just don't understand the very basics about

1458
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:21,639
Speaker 1: what's going on. All right, I gotta to break your

1459
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 1: team will be back, and just the game, stay with it.

1460
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 1: I honestly waiver back and forth on whether I think

1461
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: that the media is aware of its leftist liberal bias,

1462
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 1: or if they're so self deluded that they really, deep

1463
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: down and in quiet moments, I think that they are

1464
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 1: just providing the public with a necessary service, that they

1465
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: are the guardians of our are republic, that they are

1466
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 1: a necessary part of our democratic processes, and that they're

1467
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 1: just bringing the truth and facts to the American people

1468
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 1: without agenda, without partisanship. Do they really believe that crap

1469
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 1: I go back and forth, because if they if they

1470
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 1: are just doing or just putting that out there to

1471
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 1: be cynical and to engage in a form of preventative

1472
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: or preemptive I should say propaganda. Okay, I mean they're dishonest,

1473
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 1: but at least I understand what's going on. But are

1474
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:40,280
Speaker 1: are they really? Is it possible that they are completely

1475
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: disconnected from reality? You have Jim Acosta, a former colleague

1476
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: of mine, although I think some people have seen them

1477
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:50,600
Speaker 1: would sneer at the notion of a conservative like me

1478
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:54,640
Speaker 1: having been a colleague. But I was a CNN conservative

1479
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,680
Speaker 1: political commentator for two years. I should note by the

1480
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 1: way that I was often introduced that way conservative political

1481
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 1: commentator Buck Sexton. Uh. They didn't do that with anyone else,

1482
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 1: meaning on the other side of the political spectrum. When

1483
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 1: I would debate Van Jones, or they would have me

1484
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 1: against Maria Cardona or any number of the Democrat talking

1485
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:23,959
Speaker 1: points crowd. They would always just say, uh, political analyst

1486
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,600
Speaker 1: or political commentator, But I was a conservative political commentator

1487
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,200
Speaker 1: because that was a way of rigging the fight to

1488
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 1: let the audience know he's the bad guy here. Let

1489
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:36,840
Speaker 1: the see in an audience know that Buck is the

1490
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 1: conservative boo. And now the host and whomever supposed to

1491
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 1: be playing the counterpoint role will show you how distasteful

1492
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:49,559
Speaker 1: he is his positions and will engage in some form

1493
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 1: of of on air ambush. That's that was my experience

1494
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: dealing with it over there, and that's just the truth

1495
01:27:57,320 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 1: of it. Now, given my own recollections of what it

1496
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:06,640
Speaker 1: was like to be a CNN commentator, it's amazing to

1497
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:09,320
Speaker 1: me you people like Jim Acosta, who in a way

1498
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:12,719
Speaker 1: was my short term colleague. I was his short term colleague,

1499
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:16,640
Speaker 1: however you want to put it, And he writes on

1500
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 1: Twitter again, because this is how media people now are

1501
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:22,640
Speaker 1: all talking to each other, and this is where they

1502
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: spend a lot of their energy. Now, some of the

1503
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 1: biggest names in media spent a lot of their time

1504
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 1: just sharing thoughts on Twitter. Acosta writes. One of he wrote,

1505
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: isn't it a fake news conference? To take a question?

1506
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:38,560
Speaker 1: From a reporter who is essentially an ally of the

1507
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 1: White House who and then he also wrote, this is

1508
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:47,720
Speaker 1: Jim Acosta at CNN, their chief White House correspondent. One

1509
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 1: of the questions came from a reporter who acknowledged he

1510
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:53,599
Speaker 1: had just talked to the White House about a job

1511
01:28:54,479 --> 01:29:01,320
Speaker 1: last month. Uh is he serious? Is that? Is that

1512
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 1: for real? Is that supposed to be something that he

1513
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 1: just puts out there and does not expect people to

1514
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 1: pounce on, uh, the former White House? And this is

1515
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 1: why it's so hard, and I understand the hesitation among

1516
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:21,800
Speaker 1: many Trump supporters to uh call to to say that

1517
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:23,880
Speaker 1: he's gone too far in his fights with the media,

1518
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:27,960
Speaker 1: or because it is such a rigged game. The odds

1519
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:32,800
Speaker 1: are so stacked against Republicans and particularly against Trump, that

1520
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:38,600
Speaker 1: a conventional strategy against the media is clearly not sufficient.

1521
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:41,800
Speaker 1: Because you're looking at a nine to one left or

1522
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 1: right Democrat to Republican ratio among journalists. And that's just

1523
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:47,599
Speaker 1: those are the facts, Those are the numbers, right, It's

1524
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:53,559
Speaker 1: journalism is Democrat dominated and has been for a long

1525
01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 1: time anyway. I mean, it's just so frustrating to watch

1526
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:03,800
Speaker 1: this happen and there's so little accountability from Democrats on this,

1527
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 1: and they just they don't care how obvious it's all

1528
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:11,720
Speaker 1: become now. And I think that there is a widespread

1529
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:14,760
Speaker 1: feeling among people that what's going on right now is

1530
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:20,120
Speaker 1: a necessary corrective, that the assault on the media is

1531
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:25,000
Speaker 1: really actually defense. It's preventing the media from completely flooding

1532
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:28,719
Speaker 1: the field and overrunning the opposition, which we've been close

1533
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:32,000
Speaker 1: to in recent years, and we've seen that they've gone

1534
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 1: after they've specifically targeted the left, and these activist groups

1535
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:40,000
Speaker 1: and these boycott groups have targeted Fox News in recent years.

1536
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:43,759
Speaker 1: We are well aware of the fact that the left

1537
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:48,880
Speaker 1: likes to return to the fairness Doctrine or uh FCC

1538
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:53,439
Speaker 1: regulations of any any number of them in an effort

1539
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 1: to curb conservative speech, and they look to use I

1540
01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:00,679
Speaker 1: think I believe you'll see more of this the major

1541
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 1: social media platforms as censors over what is in fact

1542
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 1: acceptable and not acceptable speech, to include issues of public importance,

1543
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:13,639
Speaker 1: to include uh those areas of public debate that should

1544
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:20,519
Speaker 1: be wide open for different ideas and opposing views. But CNN,

1545
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't make this stuff up. They still

1546
01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 1: seem to believe that there was no press preference for

1547
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:34,479
Speaker 1: Barack Obama that was on display for all of America

1548
01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:37,760
Speaker 1: for eight years. I mean it was it was embarrassing

1549
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:43,000
Speaker 1: in fact, what was going on under the Obama administration. Uh,

1550
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 1: it was embarrassing for the American people to watch reporters, honestly,

1551
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:55,920
Speaker 1: to debase themselves all in an effort, uh to curry

1552
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,560
Speaker 1: favor with the administration. I mean, to just be a

1553
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:03,080
Speaker 1: bunch of toady's, uh, to be a bunch of throne

1554
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:09,679
Speaker 1: shining supplicant quizzling uh whimps, which is what the press

1555
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 1: corps became under the Omama administration. It was truly appalling.

1556
01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:17,640
Speaker 1: Nothing that's happening right now with regard to people from

1557
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:22,360
Speaker 1: the media working in administration is new or unprecedented at all.

1558
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 1: We all know former White House spokesman Jake Karney was

1559
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 1: a Time magazine Democrat, leftist journalist in good standing. And

1560
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:33,120
Speaker 1: in fact, there are from what I understand, a couple

1561
01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:38,280
Speaker 1: of dozen journalists that move in and out of the administration, uh,

1562
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:43,760
Speaker 1: in various public facing White House roles. So this is

1563
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 1: and either people that were in the White House that

1564
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 1: our journalists now or people that uh we're journalists that

1565
01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:51,240
Speaker 1: moved into the not not now I'm talking about in

1566
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 1: the Obama administration that we're journalists that moved into the

1567
01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:58,240
Speaker 1: administration like Jake Carney. Uh, there were this was commonplace.

1568
01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:00,920
Speaker 1: There was a lot of this going on. And now

1569
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:04,479
Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe that the press corps is being

1570
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 1: too favorable towards Trump, but the Trump only calls on

1571
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:12,800
Speaker 1: favorable press. It's just nonsense. And the mainstream media is

1572
01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 1: so lacking in the most basic self awareness. And I

1573
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,760
Speaker 1: saw our buddy Shaan Davis right in response Sean Davis,

1574
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: the Federalist, in response to that, Jim acostasy an end

1575
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:27,760
Speaker 1: tweet that he quote, I don't recall you complaining when

1576
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:31,040
Speaker 1: a New York Times reporter asked Obama what enchanted him

1577
01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:36,160
Speaker 1: most about being president. The press embarrassed themselves for eight years,

1578
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 1: for almost a decade, and those of us who did

1579
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:43,000
Speaker 1: not think that every Obama were every pronouncement, every speech,

1580
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:48,640
Speaker 1: every policy was just further evidence to his transcendent brilliance. Right,

1581
01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:50,640
Speaker 1: those who those of us who didn't buy into that,

1582
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:54,599
Speaker 1: we lost any faith that we had in the media's

1583
01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:57,880
Speaker 1: objectivity then. But now the press turns around, they're like,

1584
01:33:57,960 --> 01:33:59,599
Speaker 1: what do you what do you mean you think we're

1585
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:02,400
Speaker 1: buying What do you mean you think we're anti Trump.

1586
01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:05,080
Speaker 1: We're just telling the truth. We're just speaking truth and power.

1587
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:09,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. And I have to say

1588
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 1: the Internet I think plays a very large role in this,

1589
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 1: not just because of the dissemination of information, which is

1590
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:19,439
Speaker 1: much more rapid now. So when some CNN reporter makes

1591
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 1: some crap up or says something that contradicts what he

1592
01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:24,880
Speaker 1: said a month ago or a year ago, same thing

1593
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 1: on MSNBC, Same for any pundit. Now any one of

1594
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:30,960
Speaker 1: us can fact check that person. That is that is

1595
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:34,320
Speaker 1: incredibly different from the era of like Dan rather as

1596
01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:37,440
Speaker 1: the voice of the voice of American news at CBS,

1597
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:39,920
Speaker 1: and you know these and the uh the other you know,

1598
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:43,640
Speaker 1: the Peter Jennings and and other people of that generation

1599
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:47,160
Speaker 1: and stature in journalism in the media. Uh, there was

1600
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 1: no fact checking of them by outs by individuals, by

1601
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 1: not just bloggers, but by private citizens. You couldn't do that.

1602
01:34:54,360 --> 01:34:56,040
Speaker 1: There was no there was no way to go back

1603
01:34:56,479 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 1: realistically and see how they had been uh covering a

1604
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:03,680
Speaker 1: presidency or how they had been treating a members of

1605
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:07,479
Speaker 1: an administration or the president himself. Now we can all

1606
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:11,040
Speaker 1: see it. We have recall of what journalists have done.

1607
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:13,880
Speaker 1: We have recall of how they covered the Obama administration

1608
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:17,320
Speaker 1: instantaneously on the Internet, and we have mass dissemination of

1609
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:22,559
Speaker 1: that information. And that is why we just don't trust

1610
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:26,600
Speaker 1: the media. That is why people who pretend to be nonpartisan,

1611
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 1: objective journalists are perpetuating a fraud against the American people.

1612
01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 1: And journalists know that their time is is up with

1613
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:38,840
Speaker 1: this stuff. We'll be back in a few team much more.

1614
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 1: Stay with me. Some major and troubling developments in the

1615
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:56,280
Speaker 1: transgender rights debate happening over the last few days. I

1616
01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:58,080
Speaker 1: don't know how many of you may have caught this

1617
01:35:58,280 --> 01:36:01,960
Speaker 1: because of all the attention given to North Korea and

1618
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:07,560
Speaker 1: well even more attention to Trump's wrestling video gift that

1619
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 1: he tweeted out and all the responses in the media

1620
01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:16,600
Speaker 1: to that. But Portland, Oregon is now giving out or

1621
01:36:16,720 --> 01:36:21,559
Speaker 1: rather the state of Oregon is giving out I identification

1622
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 1: cards that have non binary under gender, and the Oregon

1623
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:30,760
Speaker 1: Department of Motor Vehicles has now said that residents can

1624
01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:34,519
Speaker 1: just have an I D within X an X marker

1625
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:39,120
Speaker 1: instead of gender. That's not the only place, by the way, Washington,

1626
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:41,439
Speaker 1: d C. Has also done this, and the other states

1627
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:44,599
Speaker 1: are certain to follow suit. So now they have decided

1628
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 1: that gender is a decision. Gender is not a reality.

1629
01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 1: You aren't male or female, you or whatever you say

1630
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 1: you are. This is astonishing. So so Oregon is giving

1631
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 1: these X marker gender neutral identification cards. And there's also

1632
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:07,240
Speaker 1: in Canada, which I know is not US, but just

1633
01:37:07,360 --> 01:37:11,599
Speaker 1: to our north. An extension of this idea to parents

1634
01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:15,519
Speaker 1: who are now saying that their babies want to be

1635
01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 1: or or I shouldn't say the babies want to be

1636
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:22,400
Speaker 1: the parents want the babies to be genderless. Parents are

1637
01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:25,760
Speaker 1: making this decision. This was reported to news Week just

1638
01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 1: a few days ago one parent named Corey. I don't know.

1639
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 1: It's not said in the article that this is what

1640
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: we're heading towards. By the way, folks, we'll have news

1641
01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:38,960
Speaker 1: articles that don't identify as male or female so as

1642
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 1: not to the people involved will not be identified as

1643
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:45,040
Speaker 1: male or female, so as not to fall into the

1644
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:50,400
Speaker 1: cis gender hierarchy, patriarchy, whatever you want to call it.

1645
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 1: That that non binary is the way of the future

1646
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 1: according to the progressive left, and it's media accomplices. So

1647
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:01,920
Speaker 1: Corey in the article don't know who whether Corey's male

1648
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:06,000
Speaker 1: or female, does not identify as male or female obviously,

1649
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:11,519
Speaker 1: and wants to have a wants the baby in this

1650
01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:18,479
Speaker 1: relationship to have a birth certificate that does not specify sex. Quote.

1651
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:22,240
Speaker 1: This is what the parents says here. I'm raising Cyril

1652
01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:27,080
Speaker 1: s E A R Y L. I'm raising Cyril in

1653
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:30,840
Speaker 1: such a way that until they have the sense of

1654
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:34,760
Speaker 1: self and command of vocabulary to tell me who they are,

1655
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm recognizing them as a baby and trying to give

1656
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:41,719
Speaker 1: them all the love and support to be the most

1657
01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 1: whole person that they can be outside of the restrictions

1658
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:47,759
Speaker 1: that come with the boy box and the girl box.

1659
01:38:48,880 --> 01:38:53,400
Speaker 1: You'll notice that here we have a news report quoting

1660
01:38:53,640 --> 01:39:00,280
Speaker 1: a parent referring to a baby as they. But you see,

1661
01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:04,240
Speaker 1: even if you buy into this whole non non binary,

1662
01:39:04,760 --> 01:39:10,760
Speaker 1: non cis gender intersectional view of society, even if you

1663
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:13,840
Speaker 1: think that that's acceptable for whatever reason, And I know

1664
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 1: many of you listening are like, that's crazy, but I

1665
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:22,120
Speaker 1: know using they is just wrong. It's just factually wrong

1666
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:26,679
Speaker 1: because they is a plural pronoun for more than one person.

1667
01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:30,639
Speaker 1: So now are are we supposed to I just put

1668
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 1: this out there how far are we from having to

1669
01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:37,479
Speaker 1: recognize an individual who believes that there are several people

1670
01:39:37,560 --> 01:39:43,600
Speaker 1: trapped inside as numerous people. Using the pronoun they is

1671
01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:47,800
Speaker 1: just incorrect, right, they refers to more than one. And

1672
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,320
Speaker 1: yet here because someone doesn't want to be either male

1673
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:52,880
Speaker 1: or female, we are told to use the pronoun they,

1674
01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:57,320
Speaker 1: and in Canada they are criminalizing refusal to go along

1675
01:39:57,439 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 1: with this insanity. It will be a violation of Canadian

1676
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 1: law to use the pronoun that is biologically determined, and

1677
01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:11,559
Speaker 1: in this case even a question of singular versus plural.

1678
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:17,599
Speaker 1: The progressives are not just happy to eradicate gender roles,

1679
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:19,880
Speaker 1: and of course in the process try to destroy the

1680
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:24,519
Speaker 1: traditional family, but they do violence against language itself. They

1681
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:28,920
Speaker 1: destroy language and the precision of language and and that

1682
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 1: words can have simple and plain meaning in our discourse.

1683
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 1: This is very troubling. And on that notion, by the

1684
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: way of what they do to language, I want to

1685
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:46,400
Speaker 1: point out that the very description of this issue of

1686
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 1: trends of being transgender, they've changed the terminology. And this

1687
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 1: is just happened in recent years, just like we saw

1688
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 1: with a legal alien turn into illegal immigrant turn into

1689
01:40:56,600 --> 01:41:01,439
Speaker 1: undocumented immigrant. Now gender identity d disorder, which is what

1690
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:04,879
Speaker 1: someone who thinks he is male but is really female,

1691
01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:07,280
Speaker 1: or thinks he is female but it's or whatever thinks

1692
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:10,479
Speaker 1: is female but it's really male. Uh. That is now

1693
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 1: called gender dysphoria, and gender dysphoria is a very loaded

1694
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 1: term because dysphoria just means dissatisfaction. You don't like something.

1695
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:26,559
Speaker 1: So this change in terminology, in the medical terminology mind

1696
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:31,320
Speaker 1: you is already a concession to the idea that someone

1697
01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 1: is unhappy with their gender and we should make them happy.

1698
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:37,960
Speaker 1: You'll notice that it is not a disorder, it is

1699
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,519
Speaker 1: an unhappiness. It is a state of mind. It is

1700
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:43,759
Speaker 1: no longer a medical reality that you are male or female.

1701
01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:46,880
Speaker 1: You are now said to be in a state of

1702
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:53,360
Speaker 1: unhappiness depression because of your gender not matching your gender identity.

1703
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:57,479
Speaker 1: The the hoops that one has to jump through here,

1704
01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:00,600
Speaker 1: the the intellectual gymnastics you have to in agent for

1705
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:02,920
Speaker 1: this to make sense, and it never makes sense, but

1706
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:04,840
Speaker 1: it just keeps running around and around circles. And by

1707
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:08,360
Speaker 1: the way, the more detached from reality we get here,

1708
01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 1: you will also notice a corresponding increase in the rage

1709
01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:16,600
Speaker 1: of those on the left who push this stuff. So

1710
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 1: as I said in Oregon, right now they have gender

1711
01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 1: neutral I D cards. You can just get an X.

1712
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:25,160
Speaker 1: In Canada, they want to be able. There's this is

1713
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:27,680
Speaker 1: now going through the system and they're they're fighting this

1714
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:31,040
Speaker 1: in court. They want there to be one. You have

1715
01:42:31,240 --> 01:42:34,840
Speaker 1: to use the pronoun of of whatever the person tells

1716
01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:38,240
Speaker 1: you it is, including they, which is just wrong. And

1717
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:41,320
Speaker 1: if I can be forced to call some individual they,

1718
01:42:41,880 --> 01:42:45,960
Speaker 1: that person should be forced to call me his royal highness. Okay,

1719
01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 1: it's crazy, um. And this is it's a violation of

1720
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:54,560
Speaker 1: basic intellectual freedom to be forced by the state to

1721
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:58,439
Speaker 1: say things are true that are untrue. This leads my

1722
01:42:58,600 --> 01:43:02,800
Speaker 1: friends to a very dark, a very unsettling place. This

1723
01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:06,840
Speaker 1: does not end well when you have the state forcing you,

1724
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 1: in the course of your day to day activities in

1725
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 1: your life, to lie, which is exactly what's going on here.

1726
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:17,479
Speaker 1: But you'll notice that the shift has already happened. We

1727
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:22,040
Speaker 1: are no longer merely talking about transgender adults and their

1728
01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:25,960
Speaker 1: rights and their interactions with the states. And by the way,

1729
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 1: the whole notion of transgender rights is a construct. The

1730
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:32,120
Speaker 1: people who who self identify as transgender have all the

1731
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:35,479
Speaker 1: rights that every other person in the country have they want.

1732
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:40,280
Speaker 1: They want the creation of additional rights based on well

1733
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:45,479
Speaker 1: what they want based on whim based on emotional uh

1734
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 1: and psychological compulsion predilection. Well, I'm not I'm not really

1735
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:54,479
Speaker 1: sure even how we're supposed to define it. But it's

1736
01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:57,920
Speaker 1: not enough for this to be about adults who are

1737
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:03,240
Speaker 1: demanding rights. Now adults want to impose this on children.

1738
01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:07,519
Speaker 1: And this is where I think the next level of

1739
01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:10,800
Speaker 1: this battle will be. This is where we will see

1740
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:14,000
Speaker 1: the real fight. It's already turned into problems and and

1741
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:18,200
Speaker 1: disputes because of bathrooms where boys and girls are supposed

1742
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:21,560
Speaker 1: to now be using bathrooms together, because one student in

1743
01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:26,280
Speaker 1: a school may identify as transgender. And keep in mind,

1744
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:30,000
Speaker 1: the Obama administration didn't just go along with this rhetorically

1745
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:33,920
Speaker 1: or in theory. President Obama threatened to pull federal funding

1746
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:37,599
Speaker 1: from schools that did not go along with the dick

1747
01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:42,360
Speaker 1: tot from d C that you better allow someone to

1748
01:44:42,479 --> 01:44:45,280
Speaker 1: identify as another gender and use all of the facilities,

1749
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:47,679
Speaker 1: play on all of the sports teams of that gender,

1750
01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:50,760
Speaker 1: or else they will pull the federal government will pull

1751
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:56,479
Speaker 1: federal funding from those schools. That is absolute coercion. That

1752
01:44:56,680 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 1: is moral blackmail, and that was the Obama Ministry aation's

1753
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:03,559
Speaker 1: response on this issue. So we we've seen it already

1754
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 1: filter down into schools, but now we're seeing it filter

1755
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:08,639
Speaker 1: down into children, including in this case, babies that will

1756
01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:11,880
Speaker 1: no longer be marked on their birth certificate as male

1757
01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:15,040
Speaker 1: or female necessarily if if, if, this Canadian couple has

1758
01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:18,000
Speaker 1: their way, and I'm sure others will follow suit. Part

1759
01:45:18,040 --> 01:45:21,519
Speaker 1: of the problem here is that progressive ism liberalism in

1760
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:25,680
Speaker 1: the current context, is a lifestyle choice as much as

1761
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:28,920
Speaker 1: it is an ideology, and therefore it's also a question

1762
01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:33,400
Speaker 1: of being fashionable. And we'll see this now transgenderism, because

1763
01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 1: it is on the very edge of progressivism. Transgenderism is

1764
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:41,560
Speaker 1: now fashionable. It's cool, it's hip, and and it's not

1765
01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:44,880
Speaker 1: just for those who identifies transgender, those who support this,

1766
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:47,880
Speaker 1: those who go along with this, those who are vocal

1767
01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:55,000
Speaker 1: in destroying the oppression of our cis gender focused system.

1768
01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:58,720
Speaker 1: Since gender cis gender, by the way, just means corresponding

1769
01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 1: to your physical, whole biological sex. Right, cis gender just

1770
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:06,640
Speaker 1: means that's that that is your your physical gender. Uh.

1771
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:09,040
Speaker 1: And so that they say cis gender though, doesn't really matter,

1772
01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:14,800
Speaker 1: because again, gender is a psychological psychological construct. So this

1773
01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:16,760
Speaker 1: is going to get a little little bit of in

1774
01:46:17,120 --> 01:46:19,120
Speaker 1: the weeds here for a second. But let's also be

1775
01:46:19,280 --> 01:46:23,560
Speaker 1: clear that they will argue on the one side of

1776
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:28,040
Speaker 1: this that there are people who are non non gender binary,

1777
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:30,920
Speaker 1: meaning that there are people who are born with the

1778
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:35,760
Speaker 1: uh sex organs of both male and female. It's incredibly rare,

1779
01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:37,800
Speaker 1: but there are babies where that that that is that

1780
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 1: that happens. So they'll say, we'll see gender can be

1781
01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:45,000
Speaker 1: more confusing than that physically. Well, then the response always okay,

1782
01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 1: for those individuals, maybe we should make allowances. But that's

1783
01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:50,840
Speaker 1: a that would be a medical condition, that would be

1784
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:54,160
Speaker 1: a medical reality. And the people that are transgender that

1785
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:57,639
Speaker 1: we're talking about here are not falling into that medical category.

1786
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:02,280
Speaker 1: They are psychological meaning they as a as a function

1787
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 1: of how they feel their their brain, they believe is different,

1788
01:47:06,439 --> 01:47:09,320
Speaker 1: is a different gender than the body that they were

1789
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 1: born into, so to speak. Uh. So they can't have

1790
01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:15,519
Speaker 1: it both ways. It can't be based on medical reality

1791
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:20,920
Speaker 1: but also based on emotional and psychological position. And this

1792
01:47:21,200 --> 01:47:24,360
Speaker 1: is now why it's just all devolving an incoherence and

1793
01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:27,640
Speaker 1: it will get nastier and nastier the further they pushed this,

1794
01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:32,440
Speaker 1: and the less defensible their position becomes, the more irrational

1795
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:36,920
Speaker 1: it becomes. So but now we have to talk about

1796
01:47:37,080 --> 01:47:40,120
Speaker 1: what's going on with with children and how the medical

1797
01:47:40,160 --> 01:47:42,560
Speaker 1: profession is being forced to be made complicit in this.

1798
01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:47,040
Speaker 1: It is utter insanity and it's a disgrace, and we'll

1799
01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:57,559
Speaker 1: talk more about it in a secretaristic So I want

1800
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 1: to continue our discussion here about its transgender rights and how,

1801
01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 1: of course it starts with adults. They're dis claiming acceptance,

1802
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:10,960
Speaker 1: and then they demand obedience and and also celebration. Right,

1803
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:13,280
Speaker 1: So at first, well it should I should say, it

1804
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:16,960
Speaker 1: starts and this is the progressive playbook. It starts with tolerance,

1805
01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:19,840
Speaker 1: just just let's tolerate each other. And then it's acceptance,

1806
01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:22,160
Speaker 1: just accept me and what I do. And then it

1807
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:25,720
Speaker 1: is celebration. Come on, be happy for me. And then

1808
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:28,400
Speaker 1: it's obedience. You better be happy for me, you better

1809
01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:31,759
Speaker 1: celebrate this, you better say this is great, or else

1810
01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:35,960
Speaker 1: the state and society will come down on you. That

1811
01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:43,439
Speaker 1: is the standard progressive social warfare playbook, right, that's what

1812
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:47,720
Speaker 1: they do, that's how they run this stuff. And on

1813
01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:51,040
Speaker 1: the issue of transgender rights, it's already expanded beyond adults

1814
01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:56,120
Speaker 1: to include transgender rights, so to speak, quote unquote for children.

1815
01:48:56,920 --> 01:49:00,240
Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is that you're being

1816
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:04,439
Speaker 1: the medical profession, just as scientists have been bullied and

1817
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:09,320
Speaker 1: co opted into the climate change movement, such that now

1818
01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:14,080
Speaker 1: if you are a if you're somebody who is guilty

1819
01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:17,840
Speaker 1: of if you're guilty of heresy on climate change, which

1820
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:22,000
Speaker 1: means that you abandon the climate change orthodoxy, you will

1821
01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:26,360
Speaker 1: be crushed. They will destroy you, they will annihilate you.

1822
01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:30,960
Speaker 1: They will not forgive, they will not forget. Uh. We're

1823
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:35,400
Speaker 1: seeing that now increasingly with medical doctors on transgender rights issue.

1824
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:40,080
Speaker 1: So there was an excellent piece written in the Daily

1825
01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:43,840
Speaker 1: Signal by Michelle Kritella, who's a who's an m d

1826
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:46,680
Speaker 1: and as the president of the American College of Pediatricians.

1827
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:51,679
Speaker 1: And she was writing about the current state of medicine

1828
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:54,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to what is now called gender or

1829
01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:59,600
Speaker 1: gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder UM. And here's just

1830
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:01,519
Speaker 1: something from the piece to give you sense of how

1831
01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:05,679
Speaker 1: widespread the problem is. Quote, pediatric gender clinics are considered

1832
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:09,439
Speaker 1: elite centers for affirming children who are distressed by their

1833
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:15,519
Speaker 1: biological sex. This distressful condition, once jobbed dubbed gender identity disorder,

1834
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 1: was renamed gender dysphoria. In in there were twenty four

1835
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:25,639
Speaker 1: of these gender clinics, clustered chiefly along the East Coast

1836
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:30,000
Speaker 1: and in California. One year later, there were forty across

1837
01:50:30,080 --> 01:50:34,040
Speaker 1: the nation, with two hundred and fifteen pat pediatric residency

1838
01:50:34,120 --> 01:50:40,120
Speaker 1: programs now training future pediatricians in a transition affirming protocol

1839
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:44,800
Speaker 1: and treating gender dysphoric children. Accordingly, gender clinics are bound

1840
01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:48,320
Speaker 1: to proliferate further. Now you might be wondering, what is

1841
01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:51,920
Speaker 1: this protocol. So now you have pediatricians, kids, doctors who

1842
01:50:52,160 --> 01:50:56,559
Speaker 1: are being trained as part of their profession that gender

1843
01:50:56,640 --> 01:51:02,120
Speaker 1: identity disorder should be a firm and catered to, and

1844
01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:06,559
Speaker 1: that they should be allowing children at a young age

1845
01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 1: and assisting them medically to go along with this. And

1846
01:51:11,439 --> 01:51:14,559
Speaker 1: here's what that means in practice. Here what the medical

1847
01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:19,160
Speaker 1: consequences of this are. Quote. The Transition Affirming Protocol tells

1848
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:22,640
Speaker 1: parents to treat their children as the gender they desire

1849
01:51:23,120 --> 01:51:26,840
Speaker 1: and to place them on puberty blockers around age eleven

1850
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:31,560
Speaker 1: or twelve if they are gender dysphoric. By age sixteen.

1851
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 1: If the children still insist they are trapped in the

1852
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:37,280
Speaker 1: wrong body, they are placed on cross sex hormones and

1853
01:51:37,479 --> 01:51:43,280
Speaker 1: biological girls may obtain a double mastectomy, so called bottom

1854
01:51:43,320 --> 01:51:48,120
Speaker 1: surgeries or genital reassignment surgeries are not recommended before a

1855
01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:52,519
Speaker 1: age eighteen, though some surgeons have recently argued against this

1856
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:59,400
Speaker 1: restriction folks. Doctors are now being trained too if a

1857
01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:03,080
Speaker 1: girl is confused in her early teen years to remove

1858
01:52:03,240 --> 01:52:09,479
Speaker 1: her chest. Doctors are being trained by eighteen if someone

1859
01:52:09,640 --> 01:52:15,360
Speaker 1: has a gender identity disorder issue to change their their

1860
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:21,080
Speaker 1: genitet genitalia and an even younger ages to put puberty

1861
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:24,200
Speaker 1: blockers in their system to prevent the onset of puberty.

1862
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:26,719
Speaker 1: If you're male, they give you more estrogen. If you're female,

1863
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:29,920
Speaker 1: they give you more testosterone. People don't know if this

1864
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:33,200
Speaker 1: is safe never mind, if this is a good idea

1865
01:52:33,400 --> 01:52:36,160
Speaker 1: and all the data shows so far, it does not

1866
01:52:36,439 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 1: lessen suicide attempts, It does not result in healthy mental

1867
01:52:41,920 --> 01:52:46,320
Speaker 1: mental health outcomes. And in this piece, the this m

1868
01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:49,599
Speaker 1: D Rights bottom line transition affirming protocol with doctors now

1869
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:54,200
Speaker 1: is child abuse. This is institutionalized child abuse, with the

1870
01:52:54,280 --> 01:52:57,200
Speaker 1: medical community being brought into this as well out of

1871
01:52:57,400 --> 01:53:00,800
Speaker 1: fear because they're worried that they will be treated If

1872
01:53:00,840 --> 01:53:06,080
Speaker 1: you now stand up against puberty blockers for preteens because

1873
01:53:06,120 --> 01:53:09,920
Speaker 1: of transgender rights, you'll be treated the same way that

1874
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:14,120
Speaker 1: a scientist who calls into question the nonsense hysteria over

1875
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:19,880
Speaker 1: climate change catastrophism. You'll be destroyed, Your crew will be destroyed. This,

1876
01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:23,920
Speaker 1: my friends, is really upsetting and it just shows that

1877
01:53:24,040 --> 01:53:27,479
Speaker 1: the left will in fact institutionalize the abuse of children

1878
01:53:27,520 --> 01:53:29,799
Speaker 1: if it serves their political ends. That is what is happening.

1879
01:53:30,439 --> 01:53:34,120
Speaker 1: Let's not mince words. Let's be clear about this, and

1880
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:39,240
Speaker 1: this needs to be met full on with arguments that

1881
01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:45,280
Speaker 1: exposed the nonsense, the hysteria, the pandering, and the insanity

1882
01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 1: that is at the root of it. All right, team,

1883
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:49,640
Speaker 1: thank you as always for joining me here. Excited to

1884
