1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. There are some Republican

2
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Senate defections against Trump's declaration of a national emergency at

3
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: the border. I guess some Republicans are tired of winning.

4
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: We'll talk about what that means going forward for our

5
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: border security, plus all the latest on that incredible scandal

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: and the various scams that people are using to get

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: into college. That plus betto Keith in the RAF he

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: totally wants to win that I'm more coming up on

9
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: The buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show,

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really

11
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins. Remember the

13
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: animipd Buck, are there any centers wishing to change their vote?

14
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: If not the A's or fifty nine, the Nates or

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: forty one, the joint resolution has passed. Welcome to the

16
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. Republicans apparently don't like to win. Republicans

17
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: think that it's more important to preen and to lecture

18
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: and to feel like they really really are the righteous

19
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: ones instead of dealing with what is a true crisis

20
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: at the border and backing up a president who's trying

21
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: to do something about the border. Now, this resolution is

22
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 1: not going to go anywhere. The Senate, with its fifty

23
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: nine to forty one vote, cannot get together the two

24
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: two thirds majority needed for it to be veto proof.

25
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: But it is disheartening that there are GOP defections on

26
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: an issue like this, where all the Democrats are doing

27
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: is lining up and saying Trump wants it. No, Trump

28
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: wants to do something about the border. No, they will

29
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: not let Trump get his way. They will not give

30
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: Trump a victory. They don't care that the border is

31
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: an absolute mess right now. And that's not my opinion.

32
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: That is from border patrol, that is from immigration customs enforcement.

33
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: They are overwhelmed and overrun. They don't have the resources,

34
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: they don't have the tools and the laws in place

35
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: to effectively handle this situation. Unless you think that having

36
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: an open border is great, then then it's fine. Then

37
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: it's fine, Then there's no problem at all. These Republicans

38
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: who did this, I have to say, it's just to

39
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: remind her that there is this impulse in the GOP,

40
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: and among some of the most well known names in

41
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: the GOP, there's this impulse to just lose with dignity.

42
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: That's their preference, always lose. But know that you are

43
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: adhering to your constitutional principles. I don't even I don't

44
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: even think that there's any circumstance, any circumstance where some

45
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: of these Republicans would have come along with President Trump

46
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: on this issue just because they like the idea. They

47
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: like the idea of showing that they'll stand up against

48
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: him on something. This was all about them. This is

49
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: not about what's best for the country. And it is

50
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: a disgrace what has happened here. It's a disgrace. You

51
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: have Mitt Romney when he's not picking up candles and

52
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: blowing them out on his cake one by one, which

53
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it, Mitt Romney does, in fact

54
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: blow candles out like a cyborg on a birthday cake.

55
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: I am Mitt Romney. I am blowing up candles on

56
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: that cache. He spoke about why he was not supportive

57
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: of Trump on this issue of the national Emergency, played

58
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: twenty seven. I'm gonna be voting in favor of the

59
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: resolution of disapproval. For me, this is a constitutional question.

60
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: It's a question about the balance of power that has

61
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: cored or our constitution. This is not about the president

62
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: or about the border security. In fact, I support border security.

63
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: I support the construction of a border barrier. What about

64
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: rule of law? Mitt? Do you support rule of law?

65
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: Has a court struck down the statute that's been around

66
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: for decades that allows the president of the United States

67
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: to any situation that is an emergency, and the border

68
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: is an emergency. The Democrats lied and lied and lied

69
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: about that until they got their way with the budget.

70
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: But now they can't lie anymore, or at least they

71
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: can't lie without looking like morons because the borders clearly

72
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: in emergency's gonna be one hundred thousand people at the

73
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: border this month, folks. I'm gonna go down there with

74
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: my own eyes and see it. If I can hundred

75
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: thousand people coming into the country in one month illegally, Okay,

76
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: that's a good size US city. But it's not a crisis,

77
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: it's not an emergency. There's a statute that says the

78
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: president can do this. The president acted under that statute.

79
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: Congress passed that law. They have not repealed that law.

80
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: A court has not struck down that law. What is this, Oh,

81
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: you can't do this why President Trump understands this better

82
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: than some of the most sanctimonious members of the Republican

83
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: Senate play clip twenty five. I think anybody going against borders, security,

84
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 1: drug traffic, in human traffic, and that's a bad vote.

85
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: The Democrats are for open borders, they're for crime. I mean, frankly,

86
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: they're for crime. These people can tell you that better

87
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: than anyone. When you have open borders, when you don't

88
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: have a walls, I guess they think it's good politically.

89
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: I think it happens to be bad politically. I think

90
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: it's an eighty percent issue and maybe more than that.

91
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: But the Democrats, in order to make things difficult, they

92
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: are for open borders and they're for crime, and the

93
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: Republicans aren't. But I told Republican senators vote anyway you want,

94
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: vote how you feel good. But I think it's bad

95
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: for a Republican senator. I also think it's bad for

96
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: a Democrat senator to vote against border security and to

97
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: vote against the wall. I think if they vote that way,

98
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: it's a very bad thing for them long into the future.

99
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: I think he's right, but clearly some Republicans did not agree.

100
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: They decided that they were going to break with the

101
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: president on this issue. And look, this doesn't It doesn't

102
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: really do anything. It's a resolution of approval or disapproval

103
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: or whatever, disapproval of what the president's done. It doesn't

104
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: do anything. However, what this does show is that there

105
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: are Republicans who still Republicans, who still decide that they

106
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: choose their own sense of their political importance over the

107
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: agenda and over the interests of the nation. There are

108
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: Republicans that would rather have nice things written about them

109
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: for a day in the New York Times and Politico.

110
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: In these places, you know, well, this Republican clearly is

111
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: standing up for constitutional principles. So let's give him a

112
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: little pat on the head. Before tomorrow we call him

113
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: a racist and a sexist and a monster. Again, there

114
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: are some Republicans who can't help it. They're so driven

115
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: by ego that what matters most is that good day

116
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: of press doesn't matter. The borders a mess. I kept

117
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: hearing this explanation that, well, Republicans shouldn't do this, and

118
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Trump shouldn't do this because it'll set a precedent for Democrats.

119
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: Democrats don't care what the precedent is. Look what Obama

120
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: did with DOCCA. How many times he went on TV,

121
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't have your authority, I can't do it. I

122
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: can't do it. Or it turns out I can do

123
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: it because Congress Groll. I'll grow around Congress pen on

124
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: the phone. Obama just did it. You know, they could

125
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: try to have a national emergency on guns and seize

126
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: our guns. That would be a very very very bad idea.

127
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: They could try to declare a national emergency on climate change.

128
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: You see. The funny thing about climate change, though, is

129
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: that they never want to have to actually live under

130
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: the policies that they think they want to pass, So

131
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: that'll all crumble. The complete infeasibility of their climate change

132
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: emergency would become apparent rather quickly. But also, just you know,

133
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: why is it that Democrats win elections and then Democrats

134
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: get policy that they want. Republicans win elections, and we

135
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: can't seem to get it done other than tax cuts, folks.

136
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: You know we got our tax cut. Yeah, that's nice.

137
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's not going to be as nice when

138
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: a Democrat president takes control, a far left one at

139
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: that most likely, and the tax rate just goes up

140
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: a bunch. Taxes are going to go up across the board,

141
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: that's what they want to do. So so the tax

142
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: cut is always a tax cuts are always temporary. They

143
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: can say they make them permanent, but they're always temporary.

144
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: Taxes are for the here and now. Border policy, healthcare legislation.

145
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not forever, but at least there's some structure

146
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: in place, and it has long, long term ramifications. And

147
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: this is just nonsense from these Republicans. It really is.

148
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 1: It really is. I don't even understand what they What

149
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: point do they think they are approving here by going

150
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: a against the president on this? Who do they think

151
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: they're helping by doing this? They think they're establishing The

152
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: Democrats don't give a crap about the Constitution. They don't

153
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: give up. They don't care about separation of Paris. You've

154
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: got the most prominent liberal papers, and they want to

155
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: get rid of the electoral college. They want just the

156
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: popular vote to be the old you know. There, they'll

157
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: pull apart everything in the Constitution or our structure of federalism.

158
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: They don't care. And so this is, you know, it's

159
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: like we want the Democrats to like us. Oh, maybe

160
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: if we do this they'll like us. Maybe if we

161
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: show we really care about the Constitution, they'll want to

162
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: be our friends. No, they'll want to kick us in

163
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: the face and then kick sand in our eyes and

164
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: laugh at us and then go do what they want

165
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: to do. You'll notice, was there ever a moment in

166
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: eight years of Obama pushing disastrous policy on the country,

167
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: No Obama Care, Amnesty, cap and trade, climate change, all that,

168
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: all this nonsense. Was there ever a time where there

169
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: were where there were major Democrat defections? Oh, you know,

170
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: we were just you know, uh, Obama's basically pushing socialism

171
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: here and we just can't go along with that. Are

172
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Never happens. Why is it that Democrats

173
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: can be on board to get what they want, but

174
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: Republicans always have to have this this little purity contest.

175
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's like it's like they're all auditioning for

176
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: the role of you know, the the the founding father

177
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: of today, the one that really gets the constitution, the

178
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: one that really has his finger on the pulse of

179
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: what Thomas Jefferson would have thought of this? How about

180
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: actually falling through on policy? You know, and I know

181
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: that you could say back, but this is going to

182
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: go into the courts and okay, fine, but so what's

183
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: with the Republican defections? Why the grandstanding? You know what,

184
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: why why why pull u? You know, you see what's

185
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: going on to you? Why do this? It's just it

186
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: also shows the Democrats that it's still easy to fracture Republicans,

187
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: still easy to get them to abandon abandon each other

188
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: on the field of battle because you know, they want

189
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: to play by the rules. You know, that's great. I

190
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: hope that makes them, you know, feel safe and warm

191
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: at night. But in the meantime, the president's trying to

192
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: deal with a massive crisis on our border. He's trying

193
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: to fulfill a campaign promise that was the central campaign

194
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: promise he made in twenty sixteen, and he can't even

195
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: count on the Republicans in the Senate to have his back.

196
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: It's all a really sense I know, he said, he said,

197
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: you know, vote however you want, do whatever you want. Fine,

198
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: but this shows us why even when we win as Republicans,

199
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: we lose. And I am sick of it, I really am.

200
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: We got a lot more speaking of even when you

201
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: how about even when you lose you win as in Bato,

202
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, are you guys like going to spend

203
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: some time with me on the radio so I can

204
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: ride into my skateboard And I'm just like gonna make

205
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: pancakes with my kids, and the media is going to

206
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: fall in love with me, and I'm gonna be president

207
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be so amazing. I'm gonna play my

208
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: acoustic guitar in the corner and drink some zema because

209
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm a child of the eighties. Beto, Baby, we're gonna

210
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: talk about him. He threw his hat in the ring today.

211
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we'll be right back. The President is literally

212
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: using powers granted by Congress to enforce laws passed by Congress.

213
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: This is well within his constitutional duty, and Congress is

214
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: still unhappy for some reason. Make no mistake this vote today.

215
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: If they oppose the president, do they stand in opposition

216
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: to the American people, to American communities, and to safety

217
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: and security? Or questions are not especially difficult ones. I'm

218
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: sure the President is operating within existing law and the

219
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: crisis on our border is all too real. So I

220
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: will vote to support the President's decision later today, and

221
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: I would encourage our colleagues to do the same. Miss

222
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: McConnell gets it. Why can't other Republican senators get it?

223
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: President's acting with an existing law. And also, what a

224
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: what a strange place to really draw this line with

225
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: all the executive overreach that the real executive overreach that

226
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: happens now on a regular basis, with Congress seating so

227
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: much of its authority to the executive branch because they

228
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: don't want to take the political risks of having to

229
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: make real decisions. So just let the president make those

230
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: real decisions. This area, this is the place building a fence.

231
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: This is what they're so worried about. That's where they're

232
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: going to take a stand. You know, this is where

233
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: the government can't spend money. I think the estimates are

234
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: that we and and we lose eighty billion dollars a

235
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: year in Medicare and Medicaid fraud. I think that's right.

236
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: I hope it's not eighty million, because that would be very,

237
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: very different. But we spend a lot of money on

238
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: that issue alone, lose a lot of money. You're gonna

239
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: tell me that we can't actually handle building offense at

240
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: our southern border. You're gonna tell me that this is

241
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: some area where you know, I'm sorry. Yeah, I was

242
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: called sixty to seventy billion. I was close sixty to say.

243
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure I wasn't giving you

244
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: a crazy number there, because I like to get the

245
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: numbers ready, that's right, So let's call it sixty. We're

246
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: losing sixty billion dollars a year, folks, to Medicare and

247
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: medicaid fraud, people stealing from the government. And we don't

248
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: have three or four billion dollars to build a wall

249
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: and facilities at our border that will prevent this continued

250
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: invasion of illegals and inadmissibles. We just we don't. This

251
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: is where Congress, you know what it really is, folks.

252
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: They're just not on board with this. Republicans some of

253
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: them on board, A lot of them aren't. They don't

254
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: want to say it. They don't have the they don't

255
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: have the decency and the integrity and the honor to

256
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: say it now. Instead, they'd rather just pretend to go that.

257
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: They go along with Trump when it's good for them,

258
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: but when it comes to taking a tough vote, they

259
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: they've got nothing. They don't want to do it. They

260
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: don't want to be in a position where they could

261
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: be held to account later on. Oh, or they could

262
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: just listen to Chuck Schumer on this one play twenty nine.

263
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: The Framers gave Congress the power of the purse in

264
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: Article one of the Constitution is probably our greatest power.

265
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: And now the president is claiming that power for himself

266
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: under guys of an emergency declaration to get around the

267
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Congress that repeatedly would not authorize his demand for a

268
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: border wall. Repeatedly would not authorize a border wall. Okay,

269
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: you guys remember Obamacare, right, still a thing. Unfortunately, they

270
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: just decided to change that law in real time, the

271
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: executive branch, the Obama administration. They just they would just

272
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: change aspects of the law. Where was mister constitution Chuck Schumer?

273
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: Then when the President United States, when it was Obama,

274
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: decided that deferred action for childhood arrivals, which is not

275
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: in the law, which he has no right to do,

276
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: when he would just say, oh, well, my discretion, We're

277
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: going to use prosecutorial discretion, so that will then be

278
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: expanded into we promise we won't actually enforce the law

279
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: against you, and you get to stay wherever you are

280
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: in the country. That was utterly lawless. Where were Democrats

281
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: and that, oh, well, they thought it was the right

282
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: thing to do. You see, when Democrats want to get

283
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 1: something done, they figure out a way to self justify it.

284
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: When Republicans have the right to do a thing, but

285
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: Democrats make enough noise about it, they back off and

286
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: they whimp out. Look, it's going to the courts either way,

287
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: and I know it's but the symbolism here is troubling.

288
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: Trump does not have a unified Republican party behind him

289
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: to get the things done that he has to get done.

290
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: And we're heading into an election year. Things are gonna

291
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: get tough, They're gonna get ugly, and there are a

292
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: lot of Republicans that are looking to tocktail and run.

293
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna need a plea. Let me know. If you're

294
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: gonna to formally read the indictment, you have the optiment

295
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: having me read it, or you can wave reading the

296
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: need to plea of guilty and that guilty. Here are

297
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: we wave formal reading of the indictment and mister smalltality,

298
00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: thank you, Jesse Smallett in court not guilty. Now. My

299
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: expectation would be that he ends up trying to negotiate

300
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: some kind of a plea bargain. But I think he's

301
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: got to go to jail. I think I think he's

302
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: got to go to prison for this. Not for a

303
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: very long time, but he should serve some time. The

304
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: law has to have meeting. I mean, what he did

305
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: was reckless, it was willful, it was premeditated, and it

306
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: also pulled at some of the sensitive strings in this country.

307
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: You know, it pulled at some of those areas where

308
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: if you are being reckless, if you're being disingenuous, you

309
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: can do a lot of damage to how people view

310
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: each other, to how we all get along. You know.

311
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: He effectively defamed millions and millions of Trump voters, and

312
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: he did it for his own advance nment, his own

313
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: need for attention, and lied and lied and lied about it.

314
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: How is it that the mainstream media was not able

315
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: to see this? How is it that they did that?

316
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: What is it Robin Roberts interview where he was treated

317
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: as somebody who was just telling his story instead of

318
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: somebody who really should have been pushed on the facts.

319
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: And there should have been an effort made to get

320
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: to the truth. But they just didn't care about that. Really,

321
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: they believed the story because they always believe the story

322
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: because the narrative of a racist America that has overrun

323
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: with these mean maga hat wearing Trump supporters that carry

324
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: nooses in their back pockets and hate people because of

325
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: their skin color, of their ethnicity. Liberals unfortunately believe that lunacy.

326
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: That's for me in many ways. The most troubling takeaway, Yeah,

327
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: the media's dishonesty here and also ineptitude. I mean, they're

328
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: not very smart. A lot of people that work in

329
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: the media are not very smart, which is why they're

330
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: so insecure and why they are so nasty, and also

331
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: why group think appeals to them so much, because they

332
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: want the other important media people to like them and

333
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: to give them jobs. So they all want to think

334
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: the same thing, say the same thing, herd mentality in

335
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. They all want to stay as a

336
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: part of the herd. But the other part of this

337
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: that we have to remember is that what Jesse Smalllett

338
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: tells us is that even after hoaxes like the Uba

339
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: gang rape hoax and the Duke Lacrosse hoax and the

340
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: woman who said she was attacked on a subway and

341
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: her job was smacked off by somebody with a maga

342
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: hat total hoax. I mean, with all these hoaxes that

343
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: happen the majority of the media and much of the left,

344
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: and I go back and forth between disdain for the en,

345
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: feeling sorry for them, disdain because the true believers in

346
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: the left tend to be very nasty people. They tend

347
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: to lack honor and mercy and dignity. I mean, this

348
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: is just my This is in my experience, not all

349
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: of them, but a lot of them. I mean, the

350
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: true believers on the left are people who are whacked

351
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: out and are somewhat disconnected from the humanity of the

352
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: people around them because it's all theoretical, it's all about

353
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: the collective. You know, they can't be nice to people

354
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: that they're dealing with in a day to day sense

355
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: because they're so busy trying to save the world from

356
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: climate change and the climate change efforts they're engaging in.

357
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: Excuse their nasty behavior. I mean, just spend spend five

358
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: minutes online on Twitter and see how the left acts,

359
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: see how they respond to good faith thought, good faith engagement.

360
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: They just it's disgusting. They turn it into a cesspool

361
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: in a matter of seconds. And I mean, you know,

362
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: journalists on the left too. I'm not just talking about Randos,

363
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: but they really believed that this happened to Jesse Smollett

364
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: because that's what they think of Trump supporters. You have

365
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: to remember that the only way you could be so

366
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: foolish as to buy into this narrative is if you

367
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: think that this is really where the country is, and

368
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: that's really how Trump supporters are, and it's it's troubling,

369
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: but I think it's better for us to know the

370
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: truth about this than to keep walking around thinking that, maybe,

371
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the left isn't as insane as buck

372
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: Sexton tells us. They are. No, trust me, they are.

373
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: They are that insane. I'm not. I'm not just trying

374
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: to get you all fired up over this. They are nuts.

375
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: So I just just a quick update there on Smollet

376
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: for you. I did speak this week. It didn't mean

377
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: for that to rhyme him I am, said Sam, I

378
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: am or whatever, you know what I mean, Green Eggs

379
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: and him. I did speak this week to some folks

380
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: in the government. I won't say where about the Mueller

381
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: probe and the reality of the Muller probe, which is

382
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: that it keeps getting pushed back they are supposed to,

383
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: because I told you a few weeks ago I had

384
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: a good authority it was gonna end. Now we're told March,

385
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: but we have been told February. And if if I'm

386
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: a betting man, I think this thing drags on at

387
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: least into April, if not into May, based on the

388
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: on the delays that we're hearing about it. And I

389
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: think that part of this, I do think that part

390
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: of this is because the left needs to There's an

391
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: administrative component, no question, they're trying to wrap things up,

392
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: and they got questions and what are they going to release?

393
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: But there's an administrative question here. But there's also the

394
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: need for the DOJ, the bureaucracy, and the left within

395
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: it to try to find cover because this is gonna

396
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: be a real moment in American history. When this report

397
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: comes out and there's there's nothing in it that's gonna

398
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: the collusion delusion squad is going to look absolutely out

399
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: of their minds, which we all have known all along

400
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: they would, but now we're going to have real hard

401
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: proof of this at least well what they'll say it's

402
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: the absence of proof is not you know, the absence

403
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: of evidence is not evidence. That's what they'll be telling us.

404
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: But anybody who's being saying and normal is going to

405
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: understand that this is not what they were promising what

406
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: was going to happen. This is not what This is

407
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: not the Russia collusion that they had been talking about

408
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: now for two years, endlessly, endlessly. Adam Schiff, you're gonna

409
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: hear a lot of him in the days ahead. He

410
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: was confronted about the absence of collusion. Here is what

411
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: Shifty Shiff had to say six at all along and

412
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: beginning two years ago, as you point out, until the

413
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: present date, is there is ample evidence of collusion. But

414
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: whether that evidence amounts to proof beyond a reason without

415
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: a criminal conspiracy, we would have to wait for Bob

416
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: Mueller to determine. That is still very much my view.

417
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: The best evidence of the president's complicity as a general

418
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: matter is the fact that he has been so deceptive

419
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: about all of these contexts time after time. If there's

420
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: insufficient evidence in the Mueller Report, and we're not able

421
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: to produce efficient evidence in our own investigation, that ends

422
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: the inquiry. There may be grounds for removal from office,

423
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: or there may be grounds for indictment. After he leaves

424
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: office that the Congress discovers. One of the issues that

425
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: we're looking at, which the Muller report may not cover,

426
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: is whether the Russians were laundering money through the Trump organization.

427
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: Our predominant concern in my committee is was this president?

428
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: Is this president compromised by a foreign power? I mean,

429
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: this guy is sick. He's really got a problem. I mean,

430
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: maybe he understands that everything he's saying is a lie.

431
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: It's dishonest, it's disgusting. But you just hear how he

432
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: just switches all over the place and now he's talking

433
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: about money laundering for the president. What where did this

434
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: come from? You know how you can tell that Adam

435
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: Schiff is lying? His lips are moving. No, No, I'm

436
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: just kidding. You know how you can tell Adam Schiff

437
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: is lying because based on his approach to Russia collusion

438
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: and what's gone on with the Mullar probe, it is

439
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: never a possibility that the president is innocent. It's never

440
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: a possibility, with the way that he constructs this narrative

441
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: that it didn't happen. It's always just it. It needs

442
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: more investigation, We need more information. There had to be

443
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: collusion we just haven't found it yet, he said there,

444
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: and he was being serious that maybe the Congress, the

445
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: Congress will be able to find Russia collusion with Trump

446
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: that the Special Council was not able to find. My friends,

447
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm amazed that some members of Congress can tie their

448
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: shoes in the morning and find the bathroom. Congress is

449
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: not going to find anything that the Muller Probe did

450
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: not find about Russia collusion. Now they may find Trump's

451
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: business dealings, you know, things that they may find Trump's

452
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: third grade report card where it was said that he

453
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: was very very naughty. You know, they may find some stuff.

454
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: And that's what they're gonna do. They're gonna just look

455
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: for everything and dig through everything. They are going to

456
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: turn the Congress and the investigative and oversight powers of

457
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: the United States Congress into an ongoing OPO research machine

458
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: to feed the lunatics at MSNBC and CNN and The

459
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: New York Times, the Washington Post, just to give them

460
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: stuff to run with. That is the plan. That is

461
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: what they are going to do here. And they have

462
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: no hesitation about this, I mean no sense that maybe

463
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: maybe they're dragging the country through the mud in a

464
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: way that is damaging, regardless of what it does for

465
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: their electoral prospects in twenty twenty. You know that there's

466
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: no decency from these people. Oh, by the way, you

467
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: know what came out on this Lisa Page. Remember Lisa

468
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: Page referred to as the paramour of Peter Struck, the

469
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: FBI agent who wrote all that terrible stuff, a Trump

470
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: hater and the chief of counterintelligence at the FBI. Very

471
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 1: important guy. You know, you see these figures popping up

472
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: the Hillary email investigation, the Russia collusion investigation. You're the

473
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: same people, the same Hillary loving Trump hating maniacs at

474
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: key nodes in these different places in the DOJ. Lisa

475
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: Page was the woman who's having an affair with and

476
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: she testified unclosed doors. The transcript's now been released that

477
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: what we've known all along is true. Now we just

478
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: have confirmation, which is that the Department of Justice was

479
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: running cover for Hillary on the email thing, and that

480
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: there was never going to be a circumstance under which

481
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton was prosecuted for violations of the ESPIONAD. It

482
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: didn't matter what they found, it didn't matter how sensitive

483
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: it was, it didn't matter how egregious how reckless recklessness

484
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: is in the statute. If what Hillary Clinton did with

485
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: her and I had a TS clearance, I know how

486
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: the regulations go. I know what happens to lower level people.

487
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: When I was in the CIA. If I had had

488
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: one one hundredth of what Hillary did, my career would

489
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: have been over and I would have been begging not

490
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: to go to prison. That's just the truth. Meanwhile, with Hillary,

491
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: even though recklessness was in the statute, they said that

492
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 1: it didn't count, you know, because it's old and stuff.

493
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: And the same people at DJ who were saying that

494
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: Hillary didn't get in trouble for an email server that

495
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: she set up willfully knowingly in order to evade transparency requirements.

496
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: That's all it was. It was shady Hillary. They decided

497
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: that the Espionage Act has written the Statute as it is,

498
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: did not apply to Hillard. These is the same people

499
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: that sent over FBI investigators to go trap General Flynn

500
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: based on the Logan Act, which no serious person thinks

501
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: is a law that could be prosecuted. It's never been

502
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: put people go to prison for the Espionage Act for

503
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: a long time. No one's been prosecutor on the Logan Act.

504
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: The same people at DJ Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, James Comey.

505
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: These are the people that are making these decisions. This

506
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: is unequal application of the law based on political affiliation.

507
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: That's what we saw, and it was all the way

508
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: at the very top, and it was trying to influence

509
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: the future of this country, trying to What's what's so

510
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: ironic about the whole Russia collusion investigation is that they

511
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: accused Trump of working with the Russians to try to

512
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: change the change the outcome of the election, when in

513
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: our own country, our own Department of Justice, the chief

514
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: law enforcement mechanism in the United States was we have

515
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: proof and we know trying to change the result of

516
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: a presidential election, and nobody yet seems to really be

517
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: willing to hold them to account for it. Back in

518
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: just a moment, if anyone in the military or anybody

519
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: in the intelligence community, including people within the FBI, if

520
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: they were to leak like that, they would be fired,

521
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: they would be imprisoned, they would be prosecuted. There were

522
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: dozens and dozens of classified emails that were actually put

523
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: onto an illegal server that was then destroyed, that was

524
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: likely picked up by foreign intelligence. God knows what countries

525
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: actually have these classified emails that Clinton was sending. But

526
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: the bottom line is is that she should have been

527
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: held accountable and she wasn't, And there was an orchestrated effort,

528
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: a conspiracy, so to speak, to ensure that she was

529
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: not prosecutor. That's what Page testified to. And the fact

530
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: that she wasn't prosecuted on something that rank and file

531
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: people in the military and intelligence community to get prosecuted

532
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: for is unfathomable. But we just found that clip. I

533
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: don't even know we had that. It's Devin Newnes said

534
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: exactly what I was telling you, which is, yeah, you know,

535
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: when I was a little nobody in the CIA, if

536
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: I had pulled the crap at Hillary Pool, I would

537
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: be dunezo. But she's Hillary Clinton, sowow, she gets to

538
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: live by a different set of laws, Hillary laws, Clinton laws.

539
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: That's what happened here, and we all knew this, And

540
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the frustrations. You know, so

541
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: much of what the Democrats do is to speak to

542
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: all of the rest of us like we're so dumb,

543
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: like we just can't understand anything. And we knew that

544
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: they were never going to prosecute Hillary Clinton. It was

545
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: just not going to happen. They weren't going to let it.

546
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: It didn't matter what she did, they weren't going to

547
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: let that happen because she was their great hope for

548
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: a continuation of Obama's policies and breaking the great glass

549
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: ceiling as the first woman president. All this stuff run

550
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: and people have spent years, decades propping up this shrill,

551
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: nasty woman who's not particularly gifted politically whatsoever. But you know,

552
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: they just has the name, and the whole thing is

553
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: the name, and that's all that it really took, you know,

554
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: and a resume that she was handed because of who

555
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: her husband was. Let's just call it what it is.

556
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: Let's just call it what it is. And by the way,

557
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: Evan Noon has also some words for the Muller pro

558
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: play clip ten. The Muller investigation, it went off the

559
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: rails a long time ago. They have zero credibility. They

560
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: have been looking for two years. They have no evidence

561
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: of collusion. And look, this would not be complicated to

562
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: find collusion. Remember that was the whole story. We were

563
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: going to find evidence of Trump colluding with the Russians

564
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: to get dirt on Hillary. Not only has that never

565
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: been proven. We actually have the opposite. We have the

566
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,479
Speaker 1: opposite is true. It's a fact the Clinton campaign hired

567
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele to go and talk to Russians to get

568
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: dirt on Trump that's never been prosecuted. So what in

569
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: hell's Muller doing. I have no idea. This has gone

570
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: on for two years and he's doing kind of Joe

571
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars of taxpayer money has been spent. Yeah,

572
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: so he gets it. I'm glad Nunez understands it. It

573
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: is off the rails these challenges. I am absolutely convinced

574
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: we'll bring out the absolute best in every single one

575
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: of us. And we have something that almost no other

576
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: country in the world has. We have the single greatest

577
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: mechanism to call forth the genius of our fellow human beings.

578
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: This democracy, more than three hundred and twenty million people strong,

579
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: can bring the ingenuity, the creativity, the resolve of an

580
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: entire country. And each one of these challenges can and

581
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: will be met. But the foundational challenge to get all

582
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: of this done is to fix our democracy. So we

583
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: have to like come together and be challenging challengers of

584
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: addressing all of the great hope of future and democracy

585
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: and the people, and we will make the democracy. Betto

586
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: is in my friends, he has launched his twenty twenty bid,

587
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: and I have no idea what the heck he was

588
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: talking about. In that little we have the single greatest

589
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: knockdness them to call forth the genius all of our

590
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: fellow human beings. It can bring the ingenuity, the creativity,

591
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: the resolve of an entire country. No, democracy is not

592
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: a mass mobilization for for the ingenuity and the creativity

593
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: of the entirety of the American people. Democracy is a

594
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: system by which we pick the people who are given

595
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: authority by us in our governmental structure and hope that

596
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: they leave us alone. It's not just like everyone gets

597
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: to be awesome and is like surrounded with their awesomeness

598
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: at the same time. This is kind of a shock

599
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: to some folks. Maybe that Betto should we start calling

600
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: him Robert. This whole Betto thing is just this is

601
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: kind of pretentious, right, This is weird, but it makes

602
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: him seem more interesting. You'll note a lot of a

603
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: lot of Democrat candidates are going by their first names. Tulsi,

604
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: bad Toe, Bernie, Hillary all first, all first namers, all

605
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: of a sudden, but battou O'Rourke, who's a guy who

606
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: has cultural appropriation. But it's not appropriation if you wear

607
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: like designer jeans and ride a skateboard. He said not

608
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: long ago, this about running for office play fourteen. We've

609
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: heard a lot of people speculate that you and Senator

610
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: Cruz may face each other again, not in a Senate rematch,

611
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: but running for a higher office. What are your thoughts

612
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: on I'm running for president. I don't want to do it.

613
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: I will not do it. Amy and I are raising

614
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: an eleven year old, a ten year old, and a

615
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: seven year old, and we've spent the better part of

616
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: the last two years not with each other, missing birthdays

617
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: and anniversaries and time together, and were our family could

618
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: not survive more of I don't want to do it,

619
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: I will not do it, like totally accept I went

620
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 1: to my local ashram and I spoke to my guru

621
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: and he was like, wait, but like, if you're president,

622
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: you'll be like super rich and famous, right like so

623
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: all that family stuff. I was like, forget it, and

624
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna run. Isn't Beto kind of like an

625
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: Aeron Sorkin character? Like from the West Wing. He's an

626
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: Aeron Sorkin character mixed with a new age yoga instructor.

627
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: So I just want the country to come together and

628
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: like unite, and also I need you to breathe deeply

629
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: and feel your chea and have the cheat in the

630
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: center and make sure that you both push in and

631
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: out of your diaphragm at the same time. That's like

632
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: every every yoga class I've ever taken they tell me

633
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: to do things. I'm like, I don't get it. What

634
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: am I pushing in the diaphragm or out of the diaphragm?

635
00:39:53,760 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: And how do I push my diaphragm exactly? What is this? Yeah, Beto, Oh,

636
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: mister Betto, I don't know if you have the stomach

637
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: for it. So I can't I can't tell you that

638
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: you should do this. I can only tell you may

639
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: wish to do this. There's a Vanity Fair profile of

640
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: Betto that is such a slobbering love fest. I mean

641
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: it is the It is the literary equivalent of a

642
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: well a well oiled foot massage for Beto O'Rourke via

643
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: Vanity Fairs editorial staff. So if you're up for that,

644
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: if you if you can handle that. I like when

645
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: like they pull the toes because like sometimes it makes

646
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: a little pop noise, and like it totally releases my stress.

647
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: If you can handle it, you should read it because

648
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: you'll see what we're up against here. There's some stuff

649
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: about Betto that I'm obviously gonna have some fun with you,

650
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: because look, you come here, you give me your time.

651
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: Not only are we doing information and analysis, but it's

652
00:40:58,200 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: gotta be fun, right, We gotta have a good time.

653
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: But I think that Betto I'm being convinced more and

654
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: more by Democrats that I know who aren't pro Beto.

655
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: They're Bernie people, they're Biden people. They think that Beto

656
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: might actually be a real contender. And here's the reason

657
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: why they look at Beto and they look at Obama

658
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: for example. And you have two guys here with you know.

659
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: There there's a young hip charisma aspect of all this.

660
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: But also the media is very very powerful, especially remember

661
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: we think of the power of the media has to

662
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: direct the narrative for all of America, including people like

663
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: you and me who know that we are getting a

664
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: steady dose of left wing propaganda from the left wing media,

665
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: but they still are able to shape a lot of

666
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 1: the conversation. They still have a tremendous amount of influence.

667
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 1: They still are very much able to set the table

668
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: for debate right and to push our thoughts into certain directions,

669
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: even when you're aware of the propagandistic effect. Imagine if

670
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: you were somebody who really thought that CNN was honest,

671
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: for example, you thought that you were just getting the news.

672
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: You thought that whatever comes out of the media industrial

673
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: complex is the gospel truth. Then you'd be somebody who

674
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: when they tell you Betto is great, when they tell

675
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: you Betto is the second coming of well, the second

676
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,439
Speaker 1: coming of Obama, I guess right, that's really that they're

677
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: saying that Betto is Obama like and that he is

678
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: the guy the country needs right now because he's kind of,

679
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: you know, he's not particularly aggressive, he's low key, he's

680
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: a family man, he's nice and all the all there's

681
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: they're starting to build this narrative around him, and that

682
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: narrative will have a lot of residence, especially in a

683
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: very crowded field of Democrats, which is just I can't

684
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: I work in politics, right, I cover the stuff every day.

685
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: All I'm doing is reading and researching in preparation for

686
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: this show, and I can't even name all the candidates

687
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: I'll top of my head, and I should probably learn

688
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: them all at this point. But there's some that I'm like, wait,

689
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: that person? Who who? Who? What? What? Who? What's that?

690
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: A lot of there was a little there was a

691
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: there was a reference there, there was a movie reference.

692
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: Some of you will get it. Very few of you

693
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: will get it. Some of you will get it. Beto

694
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: is going to have the media totally behind him. They're swooning.

695
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean when I say they like Beto, there's really

696
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: almost a romantic obsession with Betto from political journalists, from

697
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: the people who write these profiles of an up and

698
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: coming candidate and all that kind of stuff. There is

699
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: really a it's abnormal what you're seeing here. It's not

700
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: just oh, he's a Democrat and he's young. It's and

701
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: they always say he's Kennedy esque. I don't know, does

702
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: he really look like a Kennedy? Is that just I

703
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: feel like Kennedy esque is what Democrats call Democrat politicians

704
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: who are white guys who are vague like like kind

705
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: of handsome, I don't know, but like buck like have

706
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: you have you seen me with my acoustic guitar and

707
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: when I'm like singing songs and I'm also in a

708
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: punk rock band. But there's a sensitive side to me,

709
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: because like Beto's very he's very emo, he's very sensitive

710
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: and like he wants all the greatness of the country

711
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: to just like be so great, but also wants to

712
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: like write songs about how he's just friends with your girlfriend,

713
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't really want to ask her out, but

714
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: like maybe he'll ask her out at some point if

715
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: you're cool with that. But he says they're just friends. Now,

716
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: that's right. That's you know who Beto was in college?

717
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: He was the guy who whatever you went to the

718
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: fraternity party or whatever, he was playing guitar in the

719
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: corner and talking to your girlfriend and you're like, what's

720
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 1: this all about? And then when you ask, you're like, hey, white,

721
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: that guy's like, oh, he's just my friend. He just

722
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: wants to be friends. We're onto you, Beto, we know

723
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,479
Speaker 1: how you roll. So like I just wrote this song

724
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: for you because I felt so emotionally connected from our

725
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: five minute conversation while you're waiting in line for the

726
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: cag And as long as it doesn't bother your boyfriend,

727
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: I just want to sing it for you. We really

728
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: got a rot Beto character going on here. By the way,

729
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: let's talk about Beto on the issue? Shall we? On policy?

730
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: What does this guy stand for? What is his pathway

731
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party? Is he the real deal? Is

732
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: he a threat not just to win the primary, but

733
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: to defeat Trump? We have that and owe so much

734
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: more coming up, And just like a second stay with me.

735
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how many countries are all on the

736
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: face of the planet one hundred and ninety two musclementals

737
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 1: of How can we, who used to be the indispensable

738
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: nation be the only country that has removed itself from

739
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: any obligation to work with anyone? Or perhaps the most

740
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: pressing problem if you think of our leadership, those who

741
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: preceded us right, those who run speeches in Normandy, those

742
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: who faced an existential threat to Western democracy, in our

743
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: way of life, they showed us the way we can

744
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: all come together. We can unite, we can marshal the resources,

745
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: and we can convene the countries of the world around

746
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: otherwise unsolvable problem. That's who we are. That's why they

747
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: call us the indispensable nation. Well, that moment is now

748
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: for us on this issue. So if there's a time

749
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: to reassert global leadership and make friends instead of enemies,

750
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: it's today, because the challenges are too great to do otherwise. Yes,

751
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Beto just sounds like a high school kid

752
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: who's giving a speech at Model un and just wants

753
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: to get a standing o all the time so badly.

754
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: He's kind of in please clap, please clap mode. Yo,

755
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: We're just gonna come together like like we did at Normandy,

756
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: except for climate change, please clap exactly. Man, it's uh,

757
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: this guy, he's really I mean, climate change is a

758
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: big one for these people. I it's just not a

759
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: it's not easy to have a constructive it's really not

760
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: even possible of a constructive conversation with people who are

761
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: so crazy they think the world's gonna end in twelve years.

762
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: Betto Robert should we call him Robert? Remember I'm the

763
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: guy who it was on the Rush Limball Show when

764
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: I was guest hosting a few years ago and Rush's team,

765
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: I remember mister Snerdley, He's like, are you are you

766
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,919
Speaker 1: for real? In the break said yeah, I'm for real.

767
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: People didn't really know that Bill de Blasio's real name

768
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: was varonville Helm Court and Taliah Mark Schnell Varonville Helm

769
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: Alf dutch Land. He changed his name to Bill de Blasi,

770
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: as we know, because hey, he was going to vote

771
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: for Billy the Blasio. I'm a union guy from Queens.

772
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, I worked for the two five Electrician Union Queens.

773
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: I vote for build a Blasio. You know, it sounds

774
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: like it sounds like something you do, right, But I'm

775
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: gonna vote for Warren Wilhelm. Who what, I don't know

776
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: if that's really something you're gonna do. So Vardon Fieldham

777
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: changed his name. It's very slice of mister Rielhelm. Yeah,

778
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: so he became build a Blasio. And I remember I

779
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: said that on the show and people were like, what

780
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: he must be making that up. No, it's true. You

781
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: can check it out. You can. You can look it up. Betto.

782
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: I would just note from reading the Glowing Profile and

783
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: Vanity Fair. Oh Beto, so handsome and dreamy. The Glowing

784
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: Profile and Vanity Fair on him. He was called Robert

785
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: for much of his adult life. So this this all

786
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: Beto thing. And because I know people can say Buck,

787
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: your name is Buck. Well, my middle name is buck Man.

788
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: You all know this. It's a family name and everyone's

789
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: called me Buck since I was a baby. The only

790
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: people will call me James or the police in the IRS,

791
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: but hopefully not people I hear from very often. But

792
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: Betto is just as a kind of an affect. It's

793
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: not anywhere in his name. It's a Latin nickname for

794
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: his name, and he's not Latino. So I'm sorry, but

795
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: this if there is such a thing as cultural appropriation,

796
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: and I know I argue that there is not. But

797
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 1: if you argue, there is a white dude named Robert

798
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: O'Rourke call it run around, called himself Beto. Yeah, what

799
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: if I want to run for office? And I was like,

800
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: just call me Diego whatever, it would be okay with that.

801
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: I just like, I just like to be called Diego. Yeah, Roberto,

802
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: there you go. So anyway, he's crazy on climate change.

803
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: Um go, wait, did we already play eighteen? John? I

804
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 1: got so wrapped up in the no I got okay,

805
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: Yeah I wanted to play. So this is what he

806
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: thinks about client. So this is Betto, the new great

807
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 1: hope of the Democrats to defeat Trump. Here's what he

808
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: says about climate chan just gonna kill us all. It's

809
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: so scary, and perhaps most importantly of all, because our

810
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: very existence depends on it, we can unleash the ingenuity

811
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: and creativity of millions of Americans who want to ensure

812
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: that we squarely confront the challenge of climate change before

813
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: it's too late. Yeah, I don't know how we're supposed

814
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: to do that. I don't know what he thinks is

815
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: really going to happen here. But you notice that there's

816
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: this his whole thing is going to be that he's

817
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: the positivity candidate. He's almost like he's going to turn

818
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: into the left wing life coach America never asked for.

819
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: You can totally do it and achieve your dreams and

820
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: self actualize and reach those goals as long as you

821
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: send me twenty ninety nine via cash or check. That's

822
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: what's That's what I think the path is here for Forbetto.

823
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: But I take seriously that he could be a real

824
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: candidate in the sense that he may get some real,

825
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: real push, you know. I take seriously that this is

826
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: a guy who look, I mean, he is appealing, he's

827
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: got a nice family, his story from El Paso, his

828
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: whole Texas thing, is a pretty good story. He lost

829
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: to Ted Cruise, but he made it closer than I

830
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: think a lot of people expect it, although not nearly

831
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: as close as they were pretending it was going to be.

832
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: And you know, I just think that we don't know,

833
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: I mean any and you know, And I'm going to

834
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: be the guy who tells you all on because we're

835
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 1: gonna go into this battle for twenty twenty folks, We're

836
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: gonna go in this together. But I'm going to be

837
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: the guy who tells you what I know and when

838
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. And I'll tell you this. Anyone who

839
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,720
Speaker 1: tells you that they know who's gonna win this Democratic primaries,

840
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:44,959
Speaker 1: lyne have no They have no idea. Nobody has has

841
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: any idea whatsoever about what's really going to happen here.

842
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got Biden and Bernie at the very

843
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: very top of the of the polls right now, and

844
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: people will point out rightly that you got two old

845
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: white dudes who are who are the front runners right

846
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: now for the for the Democrat Party's ticket. At least

847
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: with Bedo they get somebody who seems a little more

848
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: a hip and with it, I also believe that Biden.

849
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: If Biden is just Hillary two point oh. Biden is

850
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: the candidate that they're left with when they don't have

851
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 1: any other good candidates, and they just figure that the

852
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: Democrat establishment will carry him on their shoulders. You know,

853
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: the media, academia, Wall Street, American Bar Association, unions, you know,

854
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: all these different groups that are all about getting Democrats elected.

855
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: They're going to try to make Biden the guy, and

856
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to have a lot of

857
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 1: difficulty because I don't find him to be particularly compelling.

858
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, at least at least Beto Isn't he is interesting,

859
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't think he knows very much. I

860
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 1: don't think he's particularly Oh wait, he's worried about our democracy.

861
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: Play sixteen, Amy, and I are happy to share with

862
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: you that I'm running to serve you as an ex

863
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: president of the United States of America. This is a

864
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: defining moment of truth for this country and for every

865
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: single one of us. The challenges that we face right now,

866
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: the interconnected crises in our economy, our democracy, and our climate,

867
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: have never been greater, and they will either consume us

868
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: or they will afford us the greatest opportunity to unleash

869
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: the genius of the United States of America. In other words,

870
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: this moment of peril produces perhaps the greatest moment of

871
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: promise for this country and for everyone inside of it.

872
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: We can begin by fixing our democracy and ensuring that

873
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: our government works for everyone and not just for corporations.

874
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: That's right. Like all the platitudes and all the stuff

875
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: that Democrats want to hear, I just jam it into

876
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: one sentence and then I skateboard off into the sunset

877
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: while drinking a zema playing my punk rock guitar. That

878
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Everybody, get ready for it. It's a real

879
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 1: thing or coming up interesting news item today that conservatives

880
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,720
Speaker 1: will certainly talk about. But I think that the Libs

881
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 1: will to no one's surprise. I think, but they will

882
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: skip past this one pretty quickly. Southern Poverty Law Center

883
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: has fired its co founder, Morris D's. Now Morris D's

884
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 1: was eighty two years old and started the Montgomery based

885
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 1: organization back in nineteen seventy one. Folks, I mean, this

886
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 1: is like Kentucky Fried Chicken firing the Colonel, or Ronald

887
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: McDonald firing Ronald McDonald. I guess, but I mean this

888
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: is you know McDonald's firing Ronald McDonald. I mean this

889
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: is like the guy who founded the Southern Poverty Law Center,

890
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: which I would note is and we'll get into this

891
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: at in a little more detail, is really now a

892
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: left wing attack organization. It is a taxpayer subsidized left

893
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: wing pack that pushes issues and goes after people and

894
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:16,439
Speaker 1: in fact designates groups and individuals who are to be

895
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 1: isolated and destroyed, who are to be investigated, who are

896
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: to be kicked out of the public square. And here's

897
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: what we know about mister D's right now, eighty two

898
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: years old, kicked at, fired, not allowed to step down,

899
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: Fired from Southern Property Law Center. Here's here's what their

900
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: statement today says. As a civil rights organization, the Southern

901
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 1: Poverty Law Center is committed to ensuring that the conduct

902
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: of our staff reflects the mission of the organization and

903
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: the values we hope to instill in the world. When

904
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: one of our own fails to meet those standards, no

905
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: matter his or her role in the organization, we take

906
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: it seriously and must take appropriate action. Today we announced

907
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,720
Speaker 1: a number of immediate concrete steps we're taking, including bringing

908
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: in an outside organization to conduct a comprehensive assessment of

909
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: our internal climate and workplace practices to ensure that our

910
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: talented staff is working in the environment they deserve, one

911
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: in which all voices are heard and all staff members

912
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:30,240
Speaker 1: are respected. Folks. Now, we don't know quite yet what's

913
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: going on here, but that certainly sounds a lot like,

914
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: at a minimum, a hostile workplace environment situation. And you know,

915
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a if this turns

916
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: into a me too thing or but it's bad. It's

917
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: bad when you have to oust your founder for who's

918
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: been your founder for decades and have to call in

919
00:56:55,960 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: outside investigations to look into all this. You know, this guy,

920
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: this guy did something, folks, this guy did something. And

921
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 1: the Southern Property Law Center is one of these organizations

922
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: that it's it's time we finally understand what this is

923
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: and take this thing down. It's it's time we finally

924
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: speak truthfully about what their mission is, which is to

925
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: advance left wing causes, bash conservatives, destroy Republicans, silence dissenting voices.

926
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: That is what the Southern Property Law Center does. They

927
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: may they may do other things. They may do, you know,

928
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: some good work here and there in legal side. But

929
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: but they're most visible. There are most visible efforts these

930
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: days in the media involve pushing left wing causes. Um,

931
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: here you go, family separate. Here, I'm on the Southern

932
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: Property Loss Cent our website right now, just to give

933
00:57:55,680 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: you a sense family separation isn't over. And then also

934
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: hate groups at an all time high in twenty eighteen.

935
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: I can tell you this every Oh wow, and they've

936
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: got this is astonishing. I didn't even know that we're

937
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: gonna have this before I call. They have hate groups

938
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: and an all time high. And you know who's in

939
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: the photo. They have a collage of hate groups. You

940
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: know who they have in the photos, Donald Trump, Gavin McGinness,

941
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller, White House advisor, Laura Ingram, Tucker Carlson Sheriff,

942
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: Joe R. Pio, and a bunch of other people who

943
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: I can't tell who they are right now. That's what

944
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: they do. They smear people. This is an organization, the

945
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: Southern Property Law Center, that is very litigious, by the way,

946
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: likes to sue people, likes to sue people. But this

947
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: is an organization that tries to destroy its political opponents

948
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: and uses it's connections too in its origins as a

949
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: civil rights organization as cover. It's despicable what goes on

950
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: with the Southern Poverty Law Center. And if you think

951
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: that I'm exaggerating, I mean just think about this. The

952
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: Southern Poverty Law Center has listed in the past Ben

953
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: Shapiro in publications that it has put out on extremism.

954
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: It has listed Muji NOAs, who I believe has been

955
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: paid out a multi million dollar lawsuit. Yes, Mugidnas prevails

956
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: against the SPLC. That's the title here in the Atlantic.

957
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: And Richard Cohen, who is the president of the SPLC,

958
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: has apologized publicly to Maudgid NOAs because they declared him

959
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: a former extremist who tries to work against radical Islam.

960
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: They declared him an extremist because he's willing to criticize Islam.

961
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: So to the SPLC, if you are a Muslim who

962
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: speaks out about radical Islam, you are in fact and

963
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: extremist because you're criticizing Islam. You can't make this stuff up.

964
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: They put Moggid in their field guide for anti Muslim extremists.

965
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,439
Speaker 1: I know Modgid by the way, he's a good dude.

966
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: And the SPLC had to pay him three point three

967
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: seven five million dollars and issue a public apology. Good

968
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: for modgit Man. I need to get the Southern Private

969
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,439
Speaker 1: Law Center to lie about me. Man's that's good work.

970
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: If you can get it, I could use I could

971
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: use three million dollars. I'll take a cool mill. They

972
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: can say some mean stuff about me and then apologize

973
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: publicly and give me a million. I would definitely go

974
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: for that. Oh, speaking of the money involved here, four

975
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars in net assets and they

976
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: have to put that out there publicly because it's a

977
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: nonprofit folks, that's right, tax advantaged. You give money the

978
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: SPLC and you're in you know, you're you're in good

979
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 1: shape because you can write that off. Civil rights organization,

980
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: No notice how civil rights because we all we all

981
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: actually do have equivalent rights under the law in this country.

982
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: In fact, the only non equivalent rights are in favor

983
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: of non white minorities like a firmative action, special hiring

984
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: for women and minorities, and otherwise the law is across

985
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: the board equal. So these civil rights struggles have become

986
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: not for equality under the law, but for political positions.

987
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: That's what they've been advocating for for a long time.

988
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: But the SPLC is something that I remember a long

989
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: time ago getting to a fight with a fellow conservative

990
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: in the media because I said the SPLC was, back

991
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, a left wing attack organization. He said

992
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: that that was not fair and not true. I was right.

993
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: I won't say who it is because he's not here

994
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: to defend himself, but I was right and he was wrong.

995
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: And now we see that Morris D's, the storied co

996
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: founder of the SPLC, has been booted out of this organization.

997
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: If I had to guess, I'm gonna guess it's a

998
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 1: me too situation, although I don't know. I do not

999
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: know that is a that is a guess, But I'm

1000
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm reading between the lines a little bit here, folks.

1001
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:28,479
Speaker 1: Hostile environment, hostile workplace. Gotta him real fast. Notice how

1002
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: you also have this this tendency, this this uh grouping

1003
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:45,919
Speaker 1: a very very powerful left wing, celebrated left wing men

1004
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: who are at the at the very top echelon of

1005
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: political access. And you know, people like Morris D's, people

1006
01:02:54,920 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: like Harvey Weinstein, and you look at Charlie Rose and

1007
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: Matt Lower, and you look at these guys all in

1008
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: good stead, all in good stead with the Democrat left,

1009
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: and many of them have have devoted a substantial portion

1010
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: of their public life to advancing left wing ideas, including

1011
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: equality of all people, equality of women, civil rights, civil

1012
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: rights for everybody. You know that, in the case of

1013
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: Charlie Rose and Matt Lower, consistent and reliable peddlers of

1014
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: the left wing orthodoxy from the various perches that they

1015
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: had in media. Matt Lower was a thirty million dollars

1016
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 1: a year man while he was doing it. And we

1017
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: find time and again that they are abusing those positions

1018
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: of a forty and that they are huge phonies. They

1019
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: are huge frauds, and worse than that in many cases.

1020
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Weinstein is a straight up predator. And we

1021
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: don't know what more is deasy is yet, but I

1022
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: think we're gonna find out real soon. But here's what

1023
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: I take from this, And I think this is applicable

1024
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: to a lot of liberals. You know, a lot of

1025
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: liberals you see out there in the public eye. And

1026
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons that so many liberals

1027
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: are obsessed with virtue signaling, one of the reasons that

1028
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: they and this might be the primary reason for it,

1029
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I mean, there's also the

1030
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: benefits of you want people to think well of you.

1031
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 1: But I think that they doth protest too much. I

1032
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 1: think that they make these public pronouncements about how much

1033
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: they're all and they want to work for civil rights

1034
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: and they want to work for because there's a feeling

1035
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: of underlying guilt. Because usually the people that are on

1036
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 1: the front lines of an issue and that are really

1037
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: just trying to do good are far less concerned with

1038
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 1: pounding their own chests and talking about how much good

1039
01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: they're doing. That's always a sign. Usually people that have

1040
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 1: positions of power to make positive change are less concerned

1041
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 1: with getting the credit for it than they are actually

1042
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:12,439
Speaker 1: doing the good thing, unless it's really all about them.

1043
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: And you see this with liberals on climate change and

1044
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: liberals that make a big thing of me too. I mean,

1045
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean Schneiderman, Eric Schneiderman, the state attorney general. Here's

1046
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: another one, mister, Oh, I am so me too. He said,

1047
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 1: I am all about protecting women and women's rights and

1048
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: women's equality, except when he was beating his girlfriend. Then

1049
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: he wasn't about those things. Then he was scum Why

1050
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 1: make all those speeches about it? Why go to those lengths,

1051
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: because they're covering their compensating for what they know they're

1052
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 1: really like, I can't tell you what's gone on with

1053
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: more as easier, but I can't tell you this. A sanctimonious,

1054
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 1: smug liberal who has been pushing left wing policy for

1055
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 1: a long time thinks he can get away with a lot.

1056
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: And it looks like this guy did until now. We'll

1057
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: have more on this. I myself have always been for

1058
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 1: the voting age to sixty. I think it's really important

1059
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: to captain kids when they're in high school, when they're

1060
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: interested in all of this, when they're learning about government,

1061
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 1: to be able to vote. That is not necessarily, you know.

1062
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: In other words, some of the priorities in this bill

1063
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 1: are that transparency and openness and accessibility and the rest.

1064
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: That's a subject of debate, but my view is that

1065
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: I would welcome that. Nancy Pelosi wants to brainwash your

1066
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: kids using the Democrat apparatus of the school system, the media,

1067
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: social media she wants to do. She wants to brainwash

1068
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: your kids and get them voting as soon as possible,

1069
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: because kids will vote for the party of the cool

1070
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: people and the nice people, which on fourly because of

1071
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: their dominance in our culture and in the cultural narrative

1072
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 1: in this country. Is the Democratic Party, who's the party

1073
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: of free stuff? Who doesn't like free stuff? Oh wow, gee,

1074
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: if I were fifteen or oh, that's not true. When

1075
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 1: I was fifteen or sixteen, I was an I've been

1076
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 1: a conservative for as long as I've been essentient being.

1077
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: I think I go back a very long I knew

1078
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 1: I was a conservative in high school. I've never been

1079
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 1: down with the Democrats ever. It's just never been my thing.

1080
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: I think I probably go back. You're a smart guy, exactly, exactly.

1081
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: But Pelosi, there's so much here that's that's classic Pelosi.

1082
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 1: One is this pretense that she would that she has

1083
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: for a long time wanted to law Yeah, just I

1084
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 1: have wanted to larry the voting age to sixteen for

1085
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: a long time. No, she has not, all right, I mean,

1086
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, this is just nonsense. I'm not even checking

1087
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: her record on this one. Maybe she brought it up once,

1088
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 1: like twenty years ago or something. But this is this

1089
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: is a new thing, and this is part of the

1090
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 1: Democrats mobilization plan, which involves creating new voters, I mean

1091
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: actually creating them people that can't vote. Now, Democrats want

1092
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: to be able to vote. They want to legals to vote,

1093
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: they want teenagers to vote, sixteen year olds to vote,

1094
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: they want convicted felons to vote. This is the strategy.

1095
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 1: This is their cut out the vote effort, which really

1096
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 1: tells you a lot about where the Democrats minds are

1097
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: on this stuff. You know, these days, increasingly I find

1098
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:36,759
Speaker 1: what is the Republican Party. The Republican base married people

1099
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: that attend religious service, with jobs, who are good to

1100
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: their neighbors, but want people to generally from the government

1101
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: leave them alone, you know, love America. There you have it.

1102
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 1: That's pretty much there, you know, which is a lot

1103
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: of people, but that's pretty much the Republican Party. Yeah,

1104
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: some limited government and constitutionalism and all that stuff in

1105
01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: there too, for sure, but it's mostly married people or

1106
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: people with families who have a job, pay their bills,

1107
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 1: are responsible and don't get into all this you know,

1108
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:16,560
Speaker 1: nonsense about the coming revolution and the need to redistribute

1109
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 1: wealth and all these other things they talk about. Unfortunately,

1110
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 1: that means that if you're in any identity identity group,

1111
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, identity politics is dominated by the Democrats. If

1112
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: you're in any minority group, the overwhelming push on you

1113
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: is to make you a Democrat, right the the overwhelming

1114
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 1: pressure is going to be to get you to over

1115
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. And it's true of teenagers too, teenagers

1116
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: who want to be cool. I mean, you know, who

1117
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 1: does Beyonce vote for? Who does Jay Z vote for?

1118
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 1: Who does name a celebrity? Leonardo DiCaprio, mister climate change

1119
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: flies everyone in his private jet. You know, to think

1120
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: of a big celebrity other than James Woods, whose Twitter

1121
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: is fierce. Think think of somebody. If you don't, If

1122
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 1: you don't follow James Woods on Twitter, you're missing out

1123
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 1: inst the block. You're you're missing out. He is a

1124
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: very entertaining fellow. But they want to make teenagers vote.

1125
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: Pelosi will just she'll just make stuff up as she

1126
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: goes along. She has no problem doing that, as we

1127
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: all know. And that is certainly part of what is

1128
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 1: going on here. Making sixteen year olds vote is a

1129
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 1: bizarre idea. If you're a reasonable person, if you're somebody

1130
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:34,680
Speaker 1: that just has a need deep within the recesses of

1131
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 1: his or her soul for power. I remember when I

1132
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: talk about power, it's always the power to make others

1133
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:43,600
Speaker 1: do certain things. You know, there's some people who have

1134
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: a need. They want that ability to make you do stuff.

1135
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: That's what Democrats, what status, what the leftist, that's what

1136
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,599
Speaker 1: they want to be able to tell you what to do,

1137
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 1: how to live your life, what to think, what to eat.

1138
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: If you're somebody who just wants people to make choices,

1139
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: have liberty, be left alone, you're a conservative. Now it's

1140
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: a pretty clear delineation between the two ideologies. We should

1141
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: not be haunted by the specter of being automated out

1142
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 1: of work, whether it's a tax rate, whether it's distributing

1143
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: wealth that is created by automation. If we talk, if

1144
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: we if we approach solutions to our system and start

1145
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: entertaining ideas like that, then we should be excited about

1146
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: automation because what it could potentially mean is more time

1147
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: educating ourselves, more time creating art, more time investing and

1148
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: investigating in the sciences, more time focused on invention, more

1149
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 1: time going to space, more time enjoying the world that

1150
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: we live in. Yeah, that's aoc on automation. Now, let's

1151
01:11:57,680 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: let's make sure that we stick with the truth and

1152
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 1: the facts. It is true that overall, automation in time

1153
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 1: is over the course of time, has been useful for

1154
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 1: people to have more free time. It is true that

1155
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: we are more productive now as a society because of automation.

1156
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 1: We are wealthier as a society because of automation. What

1157
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: was really interesting here is that she just she thinks

1158
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,520
Speaker 1: that it gives you more time to create art. Well,

1159
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 1: that's only if you have somebody paying the bills while

1160
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 1: you're doing your finger painting, if someone's giving you money

1161
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: so that you can have your little pottery wheel at home. John,

1162
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 1: you ever done pottery? It's actually pretty cool. We did

1163
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 1: pottery in my grammar school and I remember thinking that,

1164
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 1: actually it was pretty fun. And you know, people always,

1165
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: but I think forever, there's always that association with the

1166
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: scene from Ghosts, you know, so that's whatever people think

1167
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 1: of a pottery wheel, that's all that comes into their minds.

1168
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 1: Pretty good movie, by the way, kind of holds up

1169
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 1: for what it is. So AOC saying that you're gonna

1170
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 1: have more time to create art is funny. But what's

1171
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 1: not funny is the prospect of mass, mass unemployment that

1172
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 1: could come from this wave of AI. And you know

1173
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: this takes you back into a debate that's been around

1174
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 1: for well, not that long. It's been around for last

1175
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:24,600
Speaker 1: hundred and let's say, I don't know, one hundred and

1176
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 1: twenty years, or so one hundred and thirty. It depends

1177
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 1: on how deep in the industrial revolution you want to go,

1178
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: but it definitely takes you back quite a ways to

1179
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: periods in time when just the basics of mechanics and

1180
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 1: machinery of engines and combustion engines gave people a lot

1181
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 1: of concern that they would be out of work. But

1182
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 1: of course, with greater productivity, there were other jobs, and

1183
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: people will be moved to other jobs. I do think

1184
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:56,719
Speaker 1: it's fair to point out that AI changes things though,

1185
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: that one one component of this discussion that exists until

1186
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 1: now is that every machine that we've had has been

1187
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 1: a labor multiplier really for human beings that are a

1188
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: part of the process, and that there will always be

1189
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 1: a need for people to be decision makers in that process.

1190
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:24,960
Speaker 1: But AI, at least as it is envisioned for the future,

1191
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:29,879
Speaker 1: could replace in an information based economy the human beings

1192
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:34,680
Speaker 1: that are the decision makers within that information based economy

1193
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 1: in certain ways. You know, I actually don't think that

1194
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: restaurant servers and hosts and hostesses, and you know, there

1195
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:44,680
Speaker 1: are some jobs where you want a human being just

1196
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 1: because you want a human being. I do not want

1197
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: a robot coming up and say, would you like cheesy fries?

1198
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: Like No, I want someone who comes up to me

1199
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: who's like, hey, Buck love your radio showman, I'm gonna

1200
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: bring you some cheesy fries on the house, because that's

1201
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 1: what happens all the time, you know. So I think

1202
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 1: that's a that's it's a serious concern though. And people

1203
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: were definitely given aoco hard time though, because she's like, yeah,

1204
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 1: you'll have like more time to create art and like

1205
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 1: it should be exciting for everybody. It will. Let me

1206
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: give you an example of what I'm talking about here.

1207
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:25,720
Speaker 1: If Uber manages to do what it's planning to do,

1208
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: which is used a neural net and connect. And I

1209
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 1: know a lot of you who listen and I always

1210
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 1: appreciate your message. A lot of you who listen to

1211
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: this show are long haul truckers, people that are in

1212
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: the long haul trucking and shipping and just the movement

1213
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:43,759
Speaker 1: of goods, which is one thing that the green energy

1214
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: folks never understand is that we have no way, even

1215
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 1: even if we make some of the changes they want,

1216
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 1: we can't transport the food from the field to the

1217
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 1: table to get to people unless we have fossil fuel.

1218
01:15:55,800 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 1: It just it just can't be done. And anyway, but

1219
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: those of you that are in those fields that that's

1220
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 1: a big sector of the economy. And if you have

1221
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 1: autonomous vehicles, there will be a big loss of jobs there.

1222
01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's over I think there are

1223
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 1: over a million people in the country right now. I

1224
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:16,600
Speaker 1: don't know what the exact numbers, it's definitely over a

1225
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 1: million who either drive an uber or drive a taxi

1226
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 1: of some kind and are transporting people around. And it's look,

1227
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 1: it's an important service. It's part of the service economy.

1228
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: People need that service. They have to get to work,

1229
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: they have to get to the store. Those jobs go away.

1230
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: What happens to those million people, Well, you could say,

1231
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 1: oh buck, they'll be absorbed into other jobs. But what

1232
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 1: if it takes a year or two, what if it

1233
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,880
Speaker 1: takes ten years? You know, And this is where the

1234
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 1: sneer of learned to code from journalists has finally been

1235
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 1: turned back on them, because there have been some considerable

1236
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 1: layoffs in journalism world recently, but learned to code was

1237
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,679
Speaker 1: what you could get kicked off of Twitter for saying

1238
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:59,759
Speaker 1: to a journalist. I would note that's an interesting, interesting

1239
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:03,799
Speaker 1: little tidbit. But the idea that everybody who is currently

1240
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:08,600
Speaker 1: driving a truck or delivery vehicle or a taxi is

1241
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: going to switch their profession to being a computer coder

1242
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 1: is absolutely absurd. So there'll be dislocations, there'll be real

1243
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 1: concerns about this, But then there's also aoc more broadly,

1244
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: just truly making an immiscile of herself. Play clip two.

1245
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:30,719
Speaker 1: Mister Sloan, why was the bank involved in the caging

1246
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 1: of children and financing the caging of children? To begin with,

1247
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how to answer that question because we

1248
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 1: weren't so in finance. You were, I'm not familiar with

1249
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: the specific assertion that you're making, but we weren't directly

1250
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:54,520
Speaker 1: involved in that. She thinks that the Wells Fargo CEO

1251
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 1: was somehow involved or his company was involved in the

1252
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: caging of children at the border. Where she got that

1253
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 1: is anyone's guess, but it's a it's a bizarre and

1254
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: really dumb thing to say. Clearly, this guy who does

1255
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 1: not work for the federal government, has nothing to do

1256
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 1: with caging children. And this is where you know I

1257
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: agree with Newt new to loot Newt Gingrich on there.

1258
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: You know, you get caught back and forth with AOC

1259
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:27,760
Speaker 1: is she is she a laughing stock or is she

1260
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: a threat? I think she's both, and I try to

1261
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,719
Speaker 1: present that side of her here on the show. Those

1262
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:35,799
Speaker 1: sides of her on the show play three. In a normal,

1263
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:43,640
Speaker 1: healthy society, Alexandria would be seen as this interesting graduate

1264
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 1: student who had gotten into some college with a good

1265
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 1: student loan, hung out a lot of smoked the little grass,

1266
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 1: drank a little beer, had a good time, once red

1267
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,639
Speaker 1: half of a book, knows nothing, and nobody would take

1268
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: her seriously when in a healthy society she would be

1269
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:06,679
Speaker 1: a joke. She doesn't know anything, her views are based

1270
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 1: on whatever random thought comes in that morning, and her

1271
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:16,680
Speaker 1: proposals are beyond silly, and she couldn't possibly defend her proposals.

1272
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: Nude is absolutely correct, and it's reassuring to hear that,

1273
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: isn't it. But it's also a little unnerving because he's right.

1274
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:34,760
Speaker 1: In a healthy society, that is how the American people

1275
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 1: would view this freshman member of Congress. That is what

1276
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 1: they would think of her proposals, but they don't. So

1277
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 1: what does that say about where we are? What does

1278
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: that say about trajectory of politics will be in this

1279
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 1: country if the left has their way, If someone who

1280
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: is such a know nothing could become the day facto

1281
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: ideological leader of the Democrat Party overnight, it just tells

1282
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 1: us the Democratic Party has real core. It is just

1283
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: a coalition for the pursuit of power that is not conservative,

1284
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 1: that is not associated with the Republican Party. It is

1285
01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: everything that the Republican Party is not that wants power,

1286
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:31,560
Speaker 1: that is the Democratic Party. There's no real underlying uniting ethos.

1287
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 1: There's no party. You know that the principles things like

1288
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, a women's right to choose redistribution of wealth,

1289
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 1: these aren't principles. These are just mechanisms to power, and

1290
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: in fact they're deeply unprincipled. Nude also had some more

1291
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 1: words about AOC play for you know, I think it

1292
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 1: might be useful to take up a fund to ask AOC.

1293
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 1: She'd be on to Venezuela, go to Zimbabwe, visit with

1294
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:00,719
Speaker 1: people who used to live in the so of a union.

1295
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: These are people who operate out of an emotion led

1296
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: kind of self righteous passion with no knowledge. The fact

1297
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 1: is not only a socialism not work. Socialism leads you

1298
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 1: to a dictatorship. It leads you to powerful people like

1299
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: Muduro's stealing. People like AOC have no answer, not if

1300
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: you say to her. In fact, they believe in mythology.

1301
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 1: They think, for example, Cuba's this wonderful paradise, except, of course,

1302
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,680
Speaker 1: most Cubans can't afford to buy a car, and the

1303
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:37,320
Speaker 1: only cars available were made before nineteen fifty eight. It's

1304
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: all true, It's all true. And yet the libs that

1305
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: I know, and the libs that I talk to on

1306
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: a regular basis, think that she is some kind of

1307
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 1: incredible messaging superhero. There is in fact an AOC comic book. Folks,

1308
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:58,680
Speaker 1: they really do think she's a messaging superhero. Her superpower

1309
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 1: is stupidity. But apparently that does not matter. It does

1310
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 1: not matter that she knows nothing. And these are people

1311
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 1: that we're telling us that Trump isn't intellectually curious enough.

1312
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 1: These are people that were telling us that we should

1313
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 1: be ashamed for voting for President Trump, who has been

1314
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:18,600
Speaker 1: running a multinational corporation for decades, was an incredibly successful

1315
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,759
Speaker 1: TV star and entertainer. You know, has been in the boardroom,

1316
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 1: has been in negotiations. And whether you think he's been

1317
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 1: great and all of his business dealings or not, or

1318
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:29,800
Speaker 1: even just mediocre or whatever, at least he's been doing stuff.

1319
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 1: At least he does know something about something. This woman

1320
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 1: knows nothing about nothing, and the Democrats turned to her

1321
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 1: as their guiding light on policy. It is both hilarious

1322
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:47,680
Speaker 1: and terrifying at the same time. Have you heard, though,

1323
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 1: that President Trump doesn't want more people come in and

1324
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: he's even separated families you try to come is because

1325
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:02,839
Speaker 1: her children were threatened? Yea, he said, because of violence.

1326
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 1: One of the most despicable moments in modern American history.

1327
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 1: I saw kids locked in cages, sitting on floors. I

1328
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 1: will never forget it. The media needs to make sure

1329
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 1: that the stories you hear at the border are just

1330
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: of crying children. That's the only thing you're supposed to

1331
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:26,799
Speaker 1: hear from them. You're supposed to be told that Trump

1332
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: has locked children in cages and that the Trump administration

1333
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 1: is evil and mean and doing all kinds of awful,

1334
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:43,240
Speaker 1: awful things, which you're not supposed to know or pay

1335
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:49,520
Speaker 1: any attention to, is that currently our border is essentially

1336
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 1: an open border. If you show up with a kid

1337
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,719
Speaker 1: from Central America, you get to come into the United States.

1338
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: You do pass go, you do collect two hundred dollars,

1339
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:03,320
Speaker 1: so to speak. I don't know if you really clicked

1340
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 1: any money, but you do get to come into the

1341
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: United States. The Trump administration is not, or rather President

1342
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 1: Trump himself is not to blame for this state of affairs.

1343
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that would be fair. But he isn't

1344
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 1: getting it done either, folks. He's not securing the border effectively. Yes,

1345
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,799
Speaker 1: Congress has to act, Yes the courts are against Trump,

1346
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 1: but this needs to be the focus. What's he going

1347
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: to say to those of us who voted for him

1348
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 1: going into twenty twenty. Yes, the left is crazy and

1349
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 1: maybe that's enough. But is he going to be able

1350
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 1: to convince them that the wall is built being built?

1351
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:52,559
Speaker 1: I am hoping to get down to El Paso in

1352
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 1: a few weeks and I'll be able to bring you

1353
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 1: a lot of ground truth and do interviews with frontline

1354
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 1: border patrol roll folks, and just see for myself what's

1355
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 1: going on with the detention facilities, with the wall with everything,

1356
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 1: this was an interesting story in the last twenty four

1357
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 1: hours that I think, as I like to hearing, it

1358
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:12,640
Speaker 1: should get more attention, so I'm telling you about it.

1359
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 1: Homeland Security officials have sent two hundred and forty migrants

1360
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:21,599
Speaker 1: back to Mexico since January under an experimental new policy

1361
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:26,800
Speaker 1: that requires Central American asylum seekers to wait outside US

1362
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: territory while their asylum claims are processed. The policy, known

1363
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: as Migrant Protection Protocols, has been expanded in recent days

1364
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:39,720
Speaker 1: to the Calexico Port of Entry in California. According to

1365
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security officials, a small number of migrants

1366
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: who are arrested for crossing illegally between the US port

1367
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:49,799
Speaker 1: of entry in San Diego area have been a return

1368
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 1: to Mexico under this Migrant Protection Protocols. So the measure

1369
01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:01,599
Speaker 1: allows in immigration law allows authorities to send back migrants

1370
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: who arrived through a third country to that foreign territory.

1371
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 1: Immigrant legal advocates are seeking an injunction and federal court

1372
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: to block MPP, which the Trump administration says is necessary

1373
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: to contend with the recent search of border crossings. Okay,

1374
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 1: why does this matter? Third party safe agreement, That's what

1375
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: this is you might recall I've spoken to you about

1376
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 1: that before here on the show. This would be an

1377
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:31,719
Speaker 1: enormous improvement in the current situation. This would really help

1378
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 1: take the heat off our border patrol and Immigrations and

1379
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 1: Customs enforcement officers. Here's what it would do. Currently, if

1380
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 1: you show up at the border, remember you have a kid,

1381
01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 1: or you claim credible fear, you are brought into processing centers.

1382
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,800
Speaker 1: They make sure that you're not a known terrorist and

1383
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 1: that you don't have you any kind of terrible communicable disease.

1384
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 1: They feed you, they house you for a day or two,

1385
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 1: maybe a few more, and then they release you in

1386
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 1: the American interior. That is what happens, never to be

1387
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 1: seen again by US authorities in a vast majority of cases.

1388
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 1: What this new agreement would do, This Migrant Protection Protocols

1389
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:13,920
Speaker 1: agreement would say that, Okay, you show up at the border.

1390
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 1: You want asylum, great, You're going to stay in Mexico.

1391
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 1: You're apply here at a port of entry, you apply

1392
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 1: in Immigrations and Customs enforcement facility, but you will wait

1393
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:28,759
Speaker 1: on the Mexico Mexico side of the US Mexico border

1394
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 1: until your case is ready for adjudication. Now, what you're

1395
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 1: going to see you're already seeing it, is that the

1396
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 1: quote immigration advocates are going to fight this tooth and nail.

1397
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: Why because this takes the scam out of it. The

1398
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 1: whole point of what they're doing at the border now

1399
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:52,640
Speaker 1: is they're released into the country essentially on a handshake

1400
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:55,880
Speaker 1: and a promise in a nod, Hey, you'll come back, right,

1401
01:27:56,200 --> 01:28:00,920
Speaker 1: you'll come back for your hearing. No, actually they will

1402
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,040
Speaker 1: not come back for their hearing. They are not going

1403
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 1: to get asylum, but they're never even going to show

1404
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 1: up and request asylum. That's that's central to this whole problem.

1405
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 1: So these immigration these so called immigration advocates, these legal groups,

1406
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:17,680
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of this is funded by

1407
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: Soros or Soros like individuals who are pro open borders,

1408
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: whether they'll say so or not. But when they're at

1409
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 1: the border, they know that if if people can't get

1410
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 1: into the country immediately and they have to respect our

1411
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:38,760
Speaker 1: legal process, this will this will effectively shut down this

1412
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:42,519
Speaker 1: massive loophole if they can implement this program properly. So

1413
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:48,599
Speaker 1: this should be a major push from immigration enforcement, customs

1414
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:50,559
Speaker 1: and border patrol. Here's you know, I come to unite

1415
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: I tell you that things are not going well enough

1416
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:53,719
Speaker 1: to the border, and I'm trying to raise the alarm

1417
01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 1: about this. Here's a way to make it work. People

1418
01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 1: can still apply for asylum. We're not saying you can't

1419
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:01,760
Speaker 1: get asylum if you have a real, real reason. You

1420
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:03,640
Speaker 1: just can't scan the system the same way, because you're

1421
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: gonna be in Mexico and you're gonna show up to

1422
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 1: a court and when you don't get a psalm, you're

1423
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 1: gonna get sent right back across the border. This is

1424
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:13,880
Speaker 1: a solution to the problem, or at least will help

1425
01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 1: the problem a lot. So I'll continue to follow this

1426
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:17,680
Speaker 1: and I'll have more for you on it as it

1427
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 1: goes along. There's a chance I may catch a bit

1428
01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:26,920
Speaker 1: of heat tomorrow for a column that I have written.

1429
01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:29,799
Speaker 1: I want to give you a little preview of it.

1430
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:37,280
Speaker 1: It somewhat ties into this whole college admissions debacle, all

1431
01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 1: the cheating and the scandals and the payoffs, the bribes.

1432
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 1: But this is my own little take on things, and

1433
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:48,559
Speaker 1: here's basically where I am on it. I think that

1434
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:54,840
Speaker 1: recruiting for college athletics is absurd. I think that it

1435
01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 1: should stop. I think that schools shouldn't do this anymore.

1436
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 1: And the moment I say this to people, and I

1437
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:03,720
Speaker 1: know there's probably a lot of people listen to this

1438
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:06,719
Speaker 1: who are like, Buck, you mess with my college football

1439
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:10,720
Speaker 1: and we're gonna I'm not saying no college athletics. I'm

1440
01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:13,679
Speaker 1: not saying, you know, shutdown, No, I love college sports.

1441
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, let's stop with this pretense of putting

1442
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 1: people in schools like UNC Chapel Hill and Stanford who

1443
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:26,720
Speaker 1: are at a fifth or sixth grade reading level, and

1444
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: we're supposed to treat that, We're supposed to act like that.

1445
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:30,800
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're normal students, just like all the

1446
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:33,120
Speaker 1: other students, and they're getting this great education, and no,

1447
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:38,240
Speaker 1: they are semi professional athletes. So this is my column tomorrow,

1448
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:39,640
Speaker 1: which would be up on the Hills. We need to

1449
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 1: stop this athletic recruiting thing because it allows for the

1450
01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 1: exploitation of these young men and women, especially young men

1451
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 1: who are playing sports. That the NCAA had a did

1452
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:54,280
Speaker 1: a billion dollars in revenue last year. There's big money here,

1453
01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 1: but there's this whole, this whole sham, this whole scam

1454
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 1: of the scholar athlete and all the stuff. No, no, no, no, no,

1455
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:04,600
Speaker 1: pretty much every school in the country. And there's a

1456
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of nuance here and some of you, I know,

1457
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:08,640
Speaker 1: light me up in the on the Facebook comments. Go

1458
01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:10,639
Speaker 1: for it. You know, if you disagree, this is fine.

1459
01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm I know this is a little bit of a

1460
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:15,760
Speaker 1: controversial position, but I also know that I'm right on this.

1461
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 1: The idea that you would have schools bringing in and

1462
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:26,320
Speaker 1: these are schools are taking five, six, seven percent of

1463
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:31,439
Speaker 1: all applicants sometimes less, that you would be kicking kicking

1464
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 1: open all these spots for people that not only are

1465
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:41,040
Speaker 1: playing in the big sports football, basketball, you know, depending

1466
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:43,240
Speaker 1: on the school that it depends on what sports they

1467
01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 1: really value. But for people that you saw this with

1468
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:50,479
Speaker 1: these and these individuals that are you know, getting getting

1469
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 1: into schools by cheating. Oh the crew team pole vaulters.

1470
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:56,960
Speaker 1: Who the heck cares about pole vaulting. I mean, let's

1471
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 1: be serious. Pole vaulting is something that you see when

1472
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 1: flipping through the channels at two am. You watch two

1473
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:04,200
Speaker 1: people do it. You're like, oh, that's pretty cool, and

1474
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: you're done. Nobody should be getting in to Stanford because

1475
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 1: they're a pole vaulter. This is ridiculous. Nobody should be

1476
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 1: getting into Yale or UVA or you name it, ut

1477
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:20,599
Speaker 1: Austin because they're on the they're a great fencer. This

1478
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 1: is just absurd. What we should have are at the

1479
01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 1: top level of NCUBA athletics. It should be semi pro people.

1480
01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that people can't go into the can't

1481
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 1: get the education at the school. I'm just saying no, no,

1482
01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 1: they should be paid and brought in and have a

1483
01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 1: special curriculum developed for them. They can still represent the school.

1484
01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:44,080
Speaker 1: But this whole thing of we're just going to recruit

1485
01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 1: people and pretend like they're normal like the rest of

1486
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:48,479
Speaker 1: the students, and this is all just you know, they're

1487
01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:52,719
Speaker 1: all student athletes. No, they're athletes, students at the top level,

1488
01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:55,719
Speaker 1: at the top schools and at the top athletic programs.

1489
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 1: They're playing all kinds of games with this. And don't

1490
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:00,599
Speaker 1: even get me started on Division three schools, you know,

1491
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:03,719
Speaker 1: these smaller schools, these less important athletic programs, they shouldn't

1492
01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:07,519
Speaker 1: be recruiting at all. It's a joke. It is absolutely absurd.

1493
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:10,519
Speaker 1: Why we really need to make sure that the women's

1494
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:14,599
Speaker 1: field hockey team is competitive in our conference? Why take

1495
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:17,880
Speaker 1: the students you want to take have tryouts, and then

1496
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:20,360
Speaker 1: you know you're still going to field great teams at

1497
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:22,559
Speaker 1: these schools that you're still are full of athletes. It's

1498
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 1: just it's this arms race that undermines the basic foundational

1499
01:33:28,840 --> 01:33:33,719
Speaker 1: purpose of the university, which is to educate people. It's

1500
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:38,280
Speaker 1: not to, you know, fill an eighty thousand person stadium

1501
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:40,920
Speaker 1: with screaming fans and pretend that the people on the

1502
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:42,920
Speaker 1: field are normal students just like all the rest of

1503
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:46,559
Speaker 1: the students. That's not the purpose of a university. And

1504
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:49,120
Speaker 1: they have dozens and dozens of these teams and they're

1505
01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 1: recruiting and recruiting and recruiting. It takes up You want

1506
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:55,479
Speaker 1: to talk about taking spots away from deserving people, and

1507
01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 1: if you can get in without the sport, then great,

1508
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:00,080
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. You don't need the sports, so

1509
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:04,719
Speaker 1: why are we recruiting. I know people people get very

1510
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:07,280
Speaker 1: contentious about this with me. It's gonna be up on

1511
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:09,680
Speaker 1: the hill dot Com tomorrow. I'll post it on Facebook.

1512
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:14,559
Speaker 1: But no more college recruiting for athletics the way it

1513
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:17,760
Speaker 1: currently is. I'm taking a stand on this one. It's

1514
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:26,720
Speaker 1: absurd and I think I'm right. The show ain't over

1515
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:35,400
Speaker 1: yet folks, keeping it real, it's time for roll call.

1516
01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:51,840
Speaker 1: Roll call time on a Thursday. Yeah, yeah, it's time

1517
01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:55,480
Speaker 1: for the row call. Oh yes, Buck to roll call.

1518
01:34:57,360 --> 01:34:59,800
Speaker 1: You didn't know that I had pipes, did you? Oh?

1519
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 1: I got pipes. I didn't say they were good pipes.

1520
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 1: I've got pipes. Let's get to it. Facebook dot com

1521
01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:12,000
Speaker 1: slash buck Sexton indeed, indeed, and uh let's see what

1522
01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:17,240
Speaker 1: we have here now, Michael Buck, I would rather not

1523
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:20,600
Speaker 1: vote for a Republican than vote for a Republican that

1524
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 1: does things like vote against the national emergency. How about you?

1525
01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:28,280
Speaker 1: Shields high, Michael. I don't have an easy answer here, man.

1526
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm very frustrated by this. It's like I've been saying,

1527
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 1: we Republicans don't want to win. They don't want to win.

1528
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how else to put it. I you know, you,

1529
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:42,360
Speaker 1: if you really care about something, if you think something

1530
01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 1: is necessary and good and moral in many cases, aren't

1531
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:50,519
Speaker 1: you going to do what you can to get to

1532
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 1: that place to use the process. I'm not saying the

1533
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:56,679
Speaker 1: ends justifies the means, but I'm saying, aren't you willing

1534
01:35:56,680 --> 01:36:00,800
Speaker 1: to fight along the way to get that thing done

1535
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 1: that you believe is good and worthy and beneficial and moral,

1536
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:08,400
Speaker 1: and no Republicans liked it like a lot of posturing,

1537
01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:12,040
Speaker 1: a lot of roosters strutting around. Well, I love the

1538
01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 1: Constitution that I am the closest to the founding fathers

1539
01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:20,720
Speaker 1: of any Republican. You know, I don't care which US

1540
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:24,920
Speaker 1: senators have a giant copy of the Constitution over their

1541
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:27,880
Speaker 1: very fancy desks on Capitol Hill. I don't care if

1542
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:32,120
Speaker 1: they sleep on bedsheets made of replicas of the Constitution.

1543
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 1: I want them to enact policy that is good for

1544
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:42,440
Speaker 1: this country, and yes, is in keeping with the Constitution.

1545
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 1: But that's where I disagree with them. They think they're

1546
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:51,960
Speaker 1: making some big constitutional stin I think they're just being foolish.

1547
01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:56,360
Speaker 1: Statutes say the president can do this. The president in

1548
01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:58,800
Speaker 1: the past has done this dozens and dozens of times,

1549
01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:03,240
Speaker 1: I think over fifty times, and just because Congress would

1550
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:05,880
Speaker 1: not go along with something does not necessarily mean that

1551
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:07,600
Speaker 1: the president does not have the authority to do it.

1552
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:11,600
Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I am very frustrated. But you know,

1553
01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 1: they're the same Republicans who say, oh, the president doesn't

1554
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 1: have the authority to the Constitution, the same ones who

1555
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:21,679
Speaker 1: say that on this have no problem with all kinds

1556
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:28,640
Speaker 1: of presidential findings and you know, presidential orders for military

1557
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:32,439
Speaker 1: action and all kinds of stuff. You know, they seem

1558
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:36,200
Speaker 1: to think that executive authority that is outside of our

1559
01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:42,720
Speaker 1: borders should be essentially unchecked. You know, it should. It

1560
01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 1: should be up to the president to fire missiles, declare war,

1561
01:37:46,040 --> 01:37:48,760
Speaker 1: fight wars, all this stuff. But Congress has totally advocated

1562
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 1: that responsibility. Oh but this responsibility building a fence, folks,

1563
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:56,960
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about, building a fence. It's too

1564
01:37:57,040 --> 01:38:01,400
Speaker 1: dangerous for the president to have that responsibility. Well, I disagree.

1565
01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 1: Oh let's see, William writes, I am done with every

1566
01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:11,200
Speaker 1: Republican party. This is absolutely unfathomable that they do not

1567
01:38:11,360 --> 01:38:15,519
Speaker 1: have a backbone, let alone a pair of something else.

1568
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:18,720
Speaker 1: Time for a third party resurrect the Tea Party as

1569
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:21,120
Speaker 1: a full fledged challenge to both parties. This is not

1570
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:23,599
Speaker 1: going to end. Well, I'm so concerned for my six

1571
01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:28,400
Speaker 1: children and eight grandchildren. William, I agree with you that

1572
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:31,080
Speaker 1: this is this is disheartening. Now, let's let's be clear.

1573
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:36,599
Speaker 1: It doesn't really mean anything. It doesn't have the force

1574
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:40,960
Speaker 1: of law. The president pulled out the veto and it's

1575
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 1: just a it's a resolution that means nothing. It means nothing.

1576
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 1: But I do think that this goes to show you

1577
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 1: that there are a lot there are people within the

1578
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:58,000
Speaker 1: Republican Party who when Trump seemed unstoppable, they just wanted

1579
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:00,000
Speaker 1: to ride the Trump wave. But now that we're getting

1580
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,000
Speaker 1: into election season, you know, they want to kind of

1581
01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 1: hedge their bets a little bit. They're Republican senators that

1582
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:09,200
Speaker 1: are waffling a little here. Oh you know, I am

1583
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:12,120
Speaker 1: really more concerned about me than about the Trump agenda.

1584
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:14,760
Speaker 1: And I think we have to keep a very close

1585
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 1: eye all that. I think that's a real phenomenon. Jeremy

1586
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:25,000
Speaker 1: Rights hey Buck podcast listener in Roswell, New Mexico, area

1587
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:28,519
Speaker 1: fifty one. The difference between flying with an old school

1588
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:31,760
Speaker 1: yoke and flying by wire control is that you can

1589
01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 1: better feel what the plane is doing through the yoke.

1590
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 1: A fly by wire is essentially using a computer game

1591
01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 1: joystick to fly the plane. The computer controls the plane

1592
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:45,360
Speaker 1: by what the pilot does with the joystick. This helps

1593
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:48,559
Speaker 1: with fatigue, but if there's a problem with the computer,

1594
01:39:48,680 --> 01:39:51,599
Speaker 1: there is no backup. At least with a yoke, you

1595
01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 1: can still control the plane. If power is lost, keep

1596
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:57,240
Speaker 1: up the great work. Shields high, Jeremy, thank you so

1597
01:39:57,320 --> 01:39:59,120
Speaker 1: much for that. And that's what I was getting at

1598
01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:01,920
Speaker 1: yesterday that there are you know that people who are

1599
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:05,120
Speaker 1: making fun of the president. And I've spoke to an

1600
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:11,240
Speaker 1: aviation security a world renowned aviation security expert today at

1601
01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 1: the Hill about this, and he said that it's it's

1602
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:18,559
Speaker 1: absolutely the case that some of the basic flying, basic

1603
01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 1: pilot skills can get rusty and can be also thrown off.

1604
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,280
Speaker 1: It can get rusty because of the complexity of these

1605
01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:31,720
Speaker 1: systems and also can throw you off in an emergency

1606
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:36,080
Speaker 1: because you are completely relying on computers. You know what

1607
01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:41,080
Speaker 1: you really have now are near autonomous airplanes. Well, if

1608
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 1: you have an autonomous airplane and all of a sudden

1609
01:40:43,200 --> 01:40:46,840
Speaker 1: the circuits have an issue, you need to be able

1610
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:48,519
Speaker 1: to have a pilot who says, all right, I'm in

1611
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:51,800
Speaker 1: the cockpit, I'm in control. I'm in control. And I

1612
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:53,160
Speaker 1: think this is always going to be an issue with

1613
01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:56,240
Speaker 1: autonomous cars as well. People are going to want to

1614
01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:58,360
Speaker 1: have the option. I'm saying, all right, things are getting

1615
01:40:58,360 --> 01:40:59,880
Speaker 1: weird in this car. It's you know, go inside to

1616
01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:02,920
Speaker 1: side at eighty miles an hour, I want, you know,

1617
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 1: human control. Now, I think you're gonna have to always

1618
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:08,479
Speaker 1: have that. I know, I know that exists in planes,

1619
01:41:08,560 --> 01:41:13,479
Speaker 1: but the systems in place can be counterproductive to that,

1620
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:20,480
Speaker 1: to that effort, Rick Rights, good news, Buck. Dan Crenshaw's

1621
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:25,200
Speaker 1: parents are American parents were living abroad when he was born.

1622
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:30,240
Speaker 1: Sixth generation. Okay, okay, okay. So so he is a

1623
01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:34,800
Speaker 1: natural born citizen of to US citizen parents. And what

1624
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:39,280
Speaker 1: you're saying, all right, all right, that's uh that now

1625
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:46,240
Speaker 1: we're now we're talking. Now we're talking. That is good news, Gina,

1626
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:49,960
Speaker 1: or is it Gianna? Hey? Buck, I heard you say

1627
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:52,240
Speaker 1: on yesterday's show you're all in for Dan Crenshaw until

1628
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:54,679
Speaker 1: you found out he wasn't born here. I went into

1629
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:57,760
Speaker 1: his bio indicated he was born to American parents in Scotland,

1630
01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 1: depending on the circumstances. Wouldn't be similar to Ted Cruz,

1631
01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:04,560
Speaker 1: who was born in Canada. Love your analysis every day, Sarah. Well, Gina,

1632
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:08,120
Speaker 1: clearly that is what we were just talking about a

1633
01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:12,080
Speaker 1: second ago. And yes, that would be similar to Ted Cruise.

1634
01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:17,160
Speaker 1: Although I don't believe Ted Cruz's parents were US citizens.

1635
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:20,439
Speaker 1: I think one of them was in one of them. Now,

1636
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:22,759
Speaker 1: don't quote me on this, folks. I don't know everything,

1637
01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:25,160
Speaker 1: although I'm a radio host, so I'm supposed to pretend. Right.

1638
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:26,840
Speaker 1: A lot of the radio hosts do and they know

1639
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:28,919
Speaker 1: a lot less than me, which is always kind of funny.

1640
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:31,240
Speaker 1: But I don't quote me on this when we have

1641
01:42:31,280 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 1: to check this one out. But there is some dispute

1642
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:37,320
Speaker 1: about this, and Coulter was throwing a lot of shade

1643
01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 1: toward Ted Cruz, saying that he constitutionally does not have

1644
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,080
Speaker 1: the pathway to run for the presidency. She's like, I'm sorry,

1645
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 1: not a natural born citizen under the founder's interpretation. All right,

1646
01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:55,599
Speaker 1: now we have wow, another one on Crenshaw. Okay, okay,

1647
01:42:55,640 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 1: we get it. Yes, his parents were citizens. Thank you,

1648
01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, Steve. I appreciated Jason Buck, How can we

1649
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:05,559
Speaker 1: break the left from using these protesters as a political

1650
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:09,920
Speaker 1: weapon to destroy their political enemies protesters office as a

1651
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:12,160
Speaker 1: political weapon. Rather, is it going to take the prosecution

1652
01:43:12,160 --> 01:43:15,000
Speaker 1: of Hillary Clinton or another of their top people to

1653
01:43:15,080 --> 01:43:18,120
Speaker 1: break them of this dangerous game they're playing? Buck? How

1654
01:43:18,160 --> 01:43:21,200
Speaker 1: can we oh the same question here? Ah, I don't

1655
01:43:21,240 --> 01:43:22,600
Speaker 1: know how we break them from doing I don't know

1656
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:24,479
Speaker 1: how we get them to stop doing this. I wish

1657
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:27,880
Speaker 1: I had a ready answer for you. I think that

1658
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:30,719
Speaker 1: the you know, the left is the party of the state,

1659
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 1: and so they're always going to be comfortable abusing the

1660
01:43:33,280 --> 01:43:35,880
Speaker 1: mechanisms of the state for their own political ends. That's

1661
01:43:35,960 --> 01:43:40,960
Speaker 1: just the way it is. So we aren't in turn,

1662
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 1: going to become much more comfortable status in our own right,

1663
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: because that's not how we are, that's not who we are.

1664
01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:52,759
Speaker 1: But if you're a bureaucrat, there's a very good chance

1665
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:56,920
Speaker 1: that you are in the federal bureaucracy, you are somebody

1666
01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:58,720
Speaker 1: who's likely to be a Democrat. I think it was

1667
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:04,120
Speaker 1: over nine federal bureaucrat donations went to Hillary Clinton in

1668
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:07,240
Speaker 1: the last election. It was a stunning number, a stunning number.

1669
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:10,559
Speaker 1: How do we get them to stop doing this? Well,

1670
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:13,880
Speaker 1: I will say that there's some degree of, you know,

1671
01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:17,240
Speaker 1: there's some degree of maybe we need to make them

1672
01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:19,240
Speaker 1: live under the rules that we live under. Two and

1673
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm all for that. Now with the free speech wars,

1674
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:27,960
Speaker 1: we do not bend, We do not apologize, We do

1675
01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:30,320
Speaker 1: not consume our own we do not turn on our

1676
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:34,280
Speaker 1: own people. You apologize if your own honor or integrity

1677
01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:37,599
Speaker 1: demanded I'm not saying never apologize. I'm saying you don't

1678
01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: apologize because the mob tells you to. All of us

1679
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,320
Speaker 1: will say things and do things, not just people in media.

1680
01:44:44,400 --> 01:44:46,400
Speaker 1: All of us say things that we don't mean that

1681
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 1: went too far, and a good person, an honorable person,

1682
01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:53,200
Speaker 1: apologizes when he or she is wrong. But I'm not

1683
01:44:53,200 --> 01:44:57,000
Speaker 1: going to apologize because you know we hate conservatives. We

1684
01:44:57,280 --> 01:45:02,639
Speaker 1: hate conservative Nope, sorry, not gonna happen. Not gonna happen.

1685
01:45:02,840 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 1: Gotta draw the line. That's why I've been so happy,

1686
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:08,760
Speaker 1: so happy that that Tucker has been standing strong on

1687
01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:12,120
Speaker 1: this issue, and it has real ramifications for the rest

1688
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:16,719
Speaker 1: of us. The generation of conservatives, you know, a generation

1689
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:20,400
Speaker 1: below Tucker. It means a lot that he's not getting

1690
01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:23,840
Speaker 1: snapped in half by this clear underhanded assault on him.

1691
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 1: Scott writes, Hey, Buck, am I alone, and I think

1692
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:31,920
Speaker 1: the only reason the FBI arrested these celebrities with guns

1693
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,960
Speaker 1: drawn and a quarter million dollar bail is simply because

1694
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 1: the elites that run these high end schools are angry.

1695
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,759
Speaker 1: These people short circuit of the usual method of getting

1696
01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:44,599
Speaker 1: their subpart children into prestigious colleges. You used to have

1697
01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:46,960
Speaker 1: to donate a wing of a library, or convince a

1698
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:49,200
Speaker 1: dean that a bronze of their likeness would look perfect

1699
01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:51,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of the quad. Keep it Real and

1700
01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:55,720
Speaker 1: Shields High, Scott Scott, the answer is yes. I think

1701
01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:59,760
Speaker 1: you are correct. The answer is yes. A lot of

1702
01:45:59,760 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 1: people are so upset about this because they don't accept

1703
01:46:05,080 --> 01:46:08,200
Speaker 1: that there can be any other ways to short circuit

1704
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:11,679
Speaker 1: the system. The elites like their pathways into these schools,

1705
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:14,799
Speaker 1: and people that are just below them they're not allowed

1706
01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:17,839
Speaker 1: to do this. Team. We've got more coming up tomorrow.

1707
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:19,960
Speaker 1: Looking forward to talking to you for a freestyle Friday.

1708
01:46:20,439 --> 01:46:22,040
