WEBVTT - Media Bows For Beto 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:16.560 You are entering the freedom hunt. There are some Republican 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:20.840 Senate defections against Trump's declaration of a national emergency at 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.040 the border. I guess some Republicans are tired of winning. 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:26.920 We'll talk about what that means going forward for our 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.800 border security, plus all the latest on that incredible scandal 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.680 and the various scams that people are using to get 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:37.600 into college. That plus betto Keith in the RAF he 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.040 totally wants to win that I'm more coming up on 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.760 The buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show, 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.840 where the mission or mission is to decode what really 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:53.640 matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:59.280 great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins. Remember the 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:07.560 animipd Buck, are there any centers wishing to change their vote? 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.480 If not the A's or fifty nine, the Nates or 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:18.640 forty one, the joint resolution has passed. Welcome to the 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:26.880 buck Sexton Show. Republicans apparently don't like to win. Republicans 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:32.520 think that it's more important to preen and to lecture 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:37.680 and to feel like they really really are the righteous 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.240 ones instead of dealing with what is a true crisis 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.479 at the border and backing up a president who's trying 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:49.520 to do something about the border. Now, this resolution is 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:54.919 not going to go anywhere. The Senate, with its fifty 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.200 nine to forty one vote, cannot get together the two 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.000 two thirds majority needed for it to be veto proof. 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:08.720 But it is disheartening that there are GOP defections on 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.800 an issue like this, where all the Democrats are doing 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:17.400 is lining up and saying Trump wants it. No, Trump 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.679 wants to do something about the border. No, they will 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.720 not let Trump get his way. They will not give 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:28.519 Trump a victory. They don't care that the border is 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.880 an absolute mess right now. And that's not my opinion. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.960 That is from border patrol, that is from immigration customs enforcement. 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.519 They are overwhelmed and overrun. They don't have the resources, 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.840 they don't have the tools and the laws in place 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.280 to effectively handle this situation. Unless you think that having 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.960 an open border is great, then then it's fine. Then 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:56.200 it's fine, Then there's no problem at all. These Republicans 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.400 who did this, I have to say, it's just to 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:04.440 remind her that there is this impulse in the GOP, 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.880 and among some of the most well known names in 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:15.880 the GOP, there's this impulse to just lose with dignity. 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.520 That's their preference, always lose. But know that you are 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:27.040 adhering to your constitutional principles. I don't even I don't 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:32.560 even think that there's any circumstance, any circumstance where some 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.280 of these Republicans would have come along with President Trump 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.480 on this issue just because they like the idea. They 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.240 like the idea of showing that they'll stand up against 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.040 him on something. This was all about them. This is 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.960 not about what's best for the country. And it is 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:56.680 a disgrace what has happened here. It's a disgrace. You 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:02.000 have Mitt Romney when he's not picking up candles and 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:03.920 blowing them out on his cake one by one, which 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:08.880 if you haven't seen it, Mitt Romney does, in fact 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.240 blow candles out like a cyborg on a birthday cake. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.400 I am Mitt Romney. I am blowing up candles on 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:21.760 that cache. He spoke about why he was not supportive 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.360 of Trump on this issue of the national Emergency, played 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.080 twenty seven. I'm gonna be voting in favor of the 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:32.200 resolution of disapproval. For me, this is a constitutional question. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.680 It's a question about the balance of power that has 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.880 cored or our constitution. This is not about the president 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.400 or about the border security. In fact, I support border security. 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:47.480 I support the construction of a border barrier. What about 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.320 rule of law? Mitt? Do you support rule of law? 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.040 Has a court struck down the statute that's been around 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.359 for decades that allows the president of the United States 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.040 to any situation that is an emergency, and the border 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.480 is an emergency. The Democrats lied and lied and lied 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.480 about that until they got their way with the budget. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.360 But now they can't lie anymore, or at least they 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.920 can't lie without looking like morons because the borders clearly 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.720 in emergency's gonna be one hundred thousand people at the 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.040 border this month, folks. I'm gonna go down there with 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.720 my own eyes and see it. If I can hundred 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.960 thousand people coming into the country in one month illegally, Okay, 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:30.160 that's a good size US city. But it's not a crisis, 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:35.159 it's not an emergency. There's a statute that says the 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.080 president can do this. The president acted under that statute. 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.839 Congress passed that law. They have not repealed that law. 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:44.400 A court has not struck down that law. What is this, Oh, 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:50.640 you can't do this why President Trump understands this better 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:55.360 than some of the most sanctimonious members of the Republican 0:05:55.440 --> 0:06:00.440 Senate play clip twenty five. I think anybody going against borders, security, 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.559 drug traffic, in human traffic, and that's a bad vote. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.640 The Democrats are for open borders, they're for crime. I mean, frankly, 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.120 they're for crime. These people can tell you that better 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.400 than anyone. When you have open borders, when you don't 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.919 have a walls, I guess they think it's good politically. 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:16.960 I think it happens to be bad politically. I think 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.280 it's an eighty percent issue and maybe more than that. 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.960 But the Democrats, in order to make things difficult, they 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.680 are for open borders and they're for crime, and the 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.360 Republicans aren't. But I told Republican senators vote anyway you want, 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.480 vote how you feel good. But I think it's bad 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.200 for a Republican senator. I also think it's bad for 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:41.160 a Democrat senator to vote against border security and to 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.600 vote against the wall. I think if they vote that way, 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.400 it's a very bad thing for them long into the future. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.400 I think he's right, but clearly some Republicans did not agree. 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.919 They decided that they were going to break with the 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.719 president on this issue. And look, this doesn't It doesn't 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:03.560 really do anything. It's a resolution of approval or disapproval 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.440 or whatever, disapproval of what the president's done. It doesn't 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:13.000 do anything. However, what this does show is that there 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:19.120 are Republicans who still Republicans, who still decide that they 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:25.240 choose their own sense of their political importance over the 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.560 agenda and over the interests of the nation. There are 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.040 Republicans that would rather have nice things written about them 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:37.320 for a day in the New York Times and Politico. 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.920 In these places, you know, well, this Republican clearly is 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.560 standing up for constitutional principles. So let's give him a 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.920 little pat on the head. Before tomorrow we call him 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.200 a racist and a sexist and a monster. Again, there 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.840 are some Republicans who can't help it. They're so driven 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.280 by ego that what matters most is that good day 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.800 of press doesn't matter. The borders a mess. I kept 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:05.480 hearing this explanation that, well, Republicans shouldn't do this, and 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.280 Trump shouldn't do this because it'll set a precedent for Democrats. 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.640 Democrats don't care what the precedent is. Look what Obama 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.440 did with DOCCA. How many times he went on TV, 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.200 I don't have your authority, I can't do it. I 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.560 can't do it. Or it turns out I can do 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.240 it because Congress Groll. I'll grow around Congress pen on 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:27.600 the phone. Obama just did it. You know, they could 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.840 try to have a national emergency on guns and seize 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.920 our guns. That would be a very very very bad idea. 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.640 They could try to declare a national emergency on climate change. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.400 You see. The funny thing about climate change, though, is 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.760 that they never want to have to actually live under 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.600 the policies that they think they want to pass, So 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:49.280 that'll all crumble. The complete infeasibility of their climate change 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:54.360 emergency would become apparent rather quickly. But also, just you know, 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:59.559 why is it that Democrats win elections and then Democrats 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.400 get policy that they want. Republicans win elections, and we 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.720 can't seem to get it done other than tax cuts, folks. 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.320 You know we got our tax cut. Yeah, that's nice. 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.480 You know, it's not going to be as nice when 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.000 a Democrat president takes control, a far left one at 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:22.160 that most likely, and the tax rate just goes up 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.600 a bunch. Taxes are going to go up across the board, 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.360 that's what they want to do. So so the tax 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.720 cut is always a tax cuts are always temporary. They 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.280 can say they make them permanent, but they're always temporary. 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:39.280 Taxes are for the here and now. Border policy, healthcare legislation. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.480 Maybe it's not forever, but at least there's some structure 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:47.120 in place, and it has long, long term ramifications. And 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.679 this is just nonsense from these Republicans. It really is. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.599 It really is. I don't even understand what they What 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:59.800 point do they think they are approving here by going 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:03.160 a against the president on this? Who do they think 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.880 they're helping by doing this? They think they're establishing The 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.920 Democrats don't give a crap about the Constitution. They don't 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.000 give up. They don't care about separation of Paris. You've 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:17.040 got the most prominent liberal papers, and they want to 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.720 get rid of the electoral college. They want just the 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.280 popular vote to be the old you know. There, they'll 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:26.079 pull apart everything in the Constitution or our structure of federalism. 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:31.079 They don't care. And so this is, you know, it's 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.640 like we want the Democrats to like us. Oh, maybe 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.000 if we do this they'll like us. Maybe if we 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.120 show we really care about the Constitution, they'll want to 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.959 be our friends. No, they'll want to kick us in 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.320 the face and then kick sand in our eyes and 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:45.960 laugh at us and then go do what they want 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:50.080 to do. You'll notice, was there ever a moment in 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:56.400 eight years of Obama pushing disastrous policy on the country, 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:01.199 No Obama Care, Amnesty, cap and trade, climate change, all that, 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.840 all this nonsense. Was there ever a time where there 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.680 were where there were major Democrat defections? Oh, you know, 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.439 we were just you know, uh, Obama's basically pushing socialism 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.080 here and we just can't go along with that. Are 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:17.640 you kidding me? Never happens. Why is it that Democrats 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.679 can be on board to get what they want, but 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.040 Republicans always have to have this this little purity contest. 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.040 You know, it's like it's like they're all auditioning for 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.800 the role of you know, the the the founding father 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.440 of today, the one that really gets the constitution, the 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.040 one that really has his finger on the pulse of 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:38.600 what Thomas Jefferson would have thought of this? How about 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.960 actually falling through on policy? You know, and I know 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:43.400 that you could say back, but this is going to 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.560 go into the courts and okay, fine, but so what's 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:52.400 with the Republican defections? Why the grandstanding? You know what, 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.480 why why why pull u? You know, you see what's 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.040 going on to you? Why do this? It's just it 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.880 also shows the Democrats that it's still easy to fracture Republicans, 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:10.800 still easy to get them to abandon abandon each other 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.079 on the field of battle because you know, they want 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.400 to play by the rules. You know, that's great. I 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.240 hope that makes them, you know, feel safe and warm 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.760 at night. But in the meantime, the president's trying to 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.440 deal with a massive crisis on our border. He's trying 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.320 to fulfill a campaign promise that was the central campaign 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.760 promise he made in twenty sixteen, and he can't even 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.760 count on the Republicans in the Senate to have his back. 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.760 It's all a really sense I know, he said, he said, 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:37.959 you know, vote however you want, do whatever you want. Fine, 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:44.439 but this shows us why even when we win as Republicans, 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:48.880 we lose. And I am sick of it, I really am. 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.960 We got a lot more speaking of even when you 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.880 how about even when you lose you win as in Bato, 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.400 Oh my gosh, are you guys like going to spend 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.320 some time with me on the radio so I can 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:08.400 ride into my skateboard And I'm just like gonna make 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.880 pancakes with my kids, and the media is going to 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.439 fall in love with me, and I'm gonna be president 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.680 and it's gonna be so amazing. I'm gonna play my 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:22.160 acoustic guitar in the corner and drink some zema because 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.920 I'm a child of the eighties. Beto, Baby, we're gonna 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.880 talk about him. He threw his hat in the ring today. 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:36.520 Oh yeah, we'll be right back. The President is literally 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:42.079 using powers granted by Congress to enforce laws passed by Congress. 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.319 This is well within his constitutional duty, and Congress is 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.920 still unhappy for some reason. Make no mistake this vote today. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.040 If they oppose the president, do they stand in opposition 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.440 to the American people, to American communities, and to safety 0:13:55.600 --> 0:14:00.160 and security? Or questions are not especially difficult ones. I'm 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.200 sure the President is operating within existing law and the 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:08.800 crisis on our border is all too real. So I 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.760 will vote to support the President's decision later today, and 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:17.439 I would encourage our colleagues to do the same. Miss 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.720 McConnell gets it. Why can't other Republican senators get it? 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:26.040 President's acting with an existing law. And also, what a 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.720 what a strange place to really draw this line with 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.120 all the executive overreach that the real executive overreach that 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:37.440 happens now on a regular basis, with Congress seating so 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.640 much of its authority to the executive branch because they 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.760 don't want to take the political risks of having to 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.800 make real decisions. So just let the president make those 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:50.840 real decisions. This area, this is the place building a fence. 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.600 This is what they're so worried about. That's where they're 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.240 going to take a stand. You know, this is where 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.280 the government can't spend money. I think the estimates are 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:05.160 that we and and we lose eighty billion dollars a 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:10.560 year in Medicare and Medicaid fraud. I think that's right. 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.560 I hope it's not eighty million, because that would be very, 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:20.680 very different. But we spend a lot of money on 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.840 that issue alone, lose a lot of money. You're gonna 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:29.280 tell me that we can't actually handle building offense at 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:33.880 our southern border. You're gonna tell me that this is 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:38.720 some area where you know, I'm sorry. Yeah, I was 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:42.200 called sixty to seventy billion. I was close sixty to say. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:43.360 I just want to make sure I wasn't giving you 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:44.920 a crazy number there, because I like to get the 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.720 numbers ready, that's right, So let's call it sixty. We're 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:51.720 losing sixty billion dollars a year, folks, to Medicare and 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.480 medicaid fraud, people stealing from the government. And we don't 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.240 have three or four billion dollars to build a wall 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.120 and facilities at our border that will prevent this continued 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:05.640 invasion of illegals and inadmissibles. We just we don't. This 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.720 is where Congress, you know what it really is, folks. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.200 They're just not on board with this. Republicans some of 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.680 them on board, A lot of them aren't. They don't 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.600 want to say it. They don't have the they don't 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.720 have the decency and the integrity and the honor to 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:22.880 say it now. Instead, they'd rather just pretend to go that. 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:24.880 They go along with Trump when it's good for them, 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.800 but when it comes to taking a tough vote, they 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:33.120 they've got nothing. They don't want to do it. They 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:37.320 don't want to be in a position where they could 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.720 be held to account later on. Oh, or they could 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:44.800 just listen to Chuck Schumer on this one play twenty nine. 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.120 The Framers gave Congress the power of the purse in 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.440 Article one of the Constitution is probably our greatest power. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.520 And now the president is claiming that power for himself 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.680 under guys of an emergency declaration to get around the 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:09.000 Congress that repeatedly would not authorize his demand for a 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:18.280 border wall. Repeatedly would not authorize a border wall. Okay, 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:23.160 you guys remember Obamacare, right, still a thing. Unfortunately, they 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.280 just decided to change that law in real time, the 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.680 executive branch, the Obama administration. They just they would just 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:33.560 change aspects of the law. Where was mister constitution Chuck Schumer? 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:38.160 Then when the President United States, when it was Obama, 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.159 decided that deferred action for childhood arrivals, which is not 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.800 in the law, which he has no right to do, 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.280 when he would just say, oh, well, my discretion, We're 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:51.359 going to use prosecutorial discretion, so that will then be 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.199 expanded into we promise we won't actually enforce the law 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:55.840 against you, and you get to stay wherever you are 0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:01.400 in the country. That was utterly lawless. Where were Democrats 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:02.800 and that, oh, well, they thought it was the right 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:04.840 thing to do. You see, when Democrats want to get 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.959 something done, they figure out a way to self justify it. 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.240 When Republicans have the right to do a thing, but 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:15.520 Democrats make enough noise about it, they back off and 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.640 they whimp out. Look, it's going to the courts either way, 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:23.240 and I know it's but the symbolism here is troubling. 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.560 Trump does not have a unified Republican party behind him 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:29.440 to get the things done that he has to get done. 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.080 And we're heading into an election year. Things are gonna 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.280 get tough, They're gonna get ugly, and there are a 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.040 lot of Republicans that are looking to tocktail and run. 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.280 You're gonna need a plea. Let me know. If you're 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.520 gonna to formally read the indictment, you have the optiment 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:47.879 having me read it, or you can wave reading the 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.159 need to plea of guilty and that guilty. Here are 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:54.640 we wave formal reading of the indictment and mister smalltality, 0:18:55.320 --> 0:19:02.960 thank you, Jesse Smallett in court not guilty. Now. My 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:09.320 expectation would be that he ends up trying to negotiate 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.960 some kind of a plea bargain. But I think he's 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:13.720 got to go to jail. I think I think he's 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.879 got to go to prison for this. Not for a 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:21.320 very long time, but he should serve some time. The 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.400 law has to have meeting. I mean, what he did 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:30.000 was reckless, it was willful, it was premeditated, and it 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:36.160 also pulled at some of the sensitive strings in this country. 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.240 You know, it pulled at some of those areas where 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:45.640 if you are being reckless, if you're being disingenuous, you 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.720 can do a lot of damage to how people view 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.080 each other, to how we all get along. You know. 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:58.199 He effectively defamed millions and millions of Trump voters, and 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.800 he did it for his own advance nment, his own 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:07.280 need for attention, and lied and lied and lied about it. 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.800 How is it that the mainstream media was not able 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.359 to see this? How is it that they did that? 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:19.080 What is it Robin Roberts interview where he was treated 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.720 as somebody who was just telling his story instead of 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.400 somebody who really should have been pushed on the facts. 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.160 And there should have been an effort made to get 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.840 to the truth. But they just didn't care about that. Really, 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.560 they believed the story because they always believe the story 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:40.320 because the narrative of a racist America that has overrun 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.679 with these mean maga hat wearing Trump supporters that carry 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.679 nooses in their back pockets and hate people because of 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:53.200 their skin color, of their ethnicity. Liberals unfortunately believe that lunacy. 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:59.960 That's for me in many ways. The most troubling takeaway, Yeah, 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:04.320 the media's dishonesty here and also ineptitude. I mean, they're 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.159 not very smart. A lot of people that work in 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:08.960 the media are not very smart, which is why they're 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:13.320 so insecure and why they are so nasty, and also 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:16.280 why group think appeals to them so much, because they 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:19.080 want the other important media people to like them and 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:20.840 to give them jobs. So they all want to think 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:25.119 the same thing, say the same thing, herd mentality in 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:30.000 the mainstream media. They all want to stay as a 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:33.960 part of the herd. But the other part of this 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.600 that we have to remember is that what Jesse Smalllett 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.160 tells us is that even after hoaxes like the Uba 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.520 gang rape hoax and the Duke Lacrosse hoax and the 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.800 woman who said she was attacked on a subway and 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.600 her job was smacked off by somebody with a maga 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.080 hat total hoax. I mean, with all these hoaxes that 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:57.320 happen the majority of the media and much of the left, 0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:00.240 and I go back and forth between disdain for the en, 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.119 feeling sorry for them, disdain because the true believers in 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.639 the left tend to be very nasty people. They tend 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:11.959 to lack honor and mercy and dignity. I mean, this 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:14.120 is just my This is in my experience, not all 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:15.480 of them, but a lot of them. I mean, the 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:17.639 true believers on the left are people who are whacked 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:21.760 out and are somewhat disconnected from the humanity of the 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.720 people around them because it's all theoretical, it's all about 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.639 the collective. You know, they can't be nice to people 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:29.520 that they're dealing with in a day to day sense 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:31.720 because they're so busy trying to save the world from 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:36.040 climate change and the climate change efforts they're engaging in. 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:41.000 Excuse their nasty behavior. I mean, just spend spend five 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:44.480 minutes online on Twitter and see how the left acts, 0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:50.919 see how they respond to good faith thought, good faith engagement. 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:54.879 They just it's disgusting. They turn it into a cesspool 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:56.840 in a matter of seconds. And I mean, you know, 0:22:56.960 --> 0:22:59.520 journalists on the left too. I'm not just talking about Randos, 0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:07.280 but they really believed that this happened to Jesse Smollett 0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:10.000 because that's what they think of Trump supporters. You have 0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:13.720 to remember that the only way you could be so 0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:17.080 foolish as to buy into this narrative is if you 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:19.280 think that this is really where the country is, and 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:25.000 that's really how Trump supporters are, and it's it's troubling, 0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:27.000 but I think it's better for us to know the 0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:29.680 truth about this than to keep walking around thinking that, maybe, 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.560 you know, maybe the left isn't as insane as buck 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:35.800 Sexton tells us. They are. No, trust me, they are. 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:39.280 They are that insane. I'm not. I'm not just trying 0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:43.480 to get you all fired up over this. They are nuts. 0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.520 So I just just a quick update there on Smollet 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:53.159 for you. I did speak this week. It didn't mean 0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:57.600 for that to rhyme him I am, said Sam, I 0:23:57.680 --> 0:23:59.400 am or whatever, you know what I mean, Green Eggs 0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:02.679 and him. I did speak this week to some folks 0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:05.600 in the government. I won't say where about the Mueller 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:11.359 probe and the reality of the Muller probe, which is 0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:14.480 that it keeps getting pushed back they are supposed to, 0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:16.080 because I told you a few weeks ago I had 0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:19.200 a good authority it was gonna end. Now we're told March, 0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:22.680 but we have been told February. And if if I'm 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:25.840 a betting man, I think this thing drags on at 0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:29.320 least into April, if not into May, based on the 0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:32.320 on the delays that we're hearing about it. And I 0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:35.480 think that part of this, I do think that part 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:42.760 of this is because the left needs to There's an 0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:45.399 administrative component, no question, they're trying to wrap things up, 0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:47.560 and they got questions and what are they going to release? 0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:52.720 But there's an administrative question here. But there's also the 0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:58.560 need for the DOJ, the bureaucracy, and the left within 0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:02.520 it to try to find cover because this is gonna 0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:05.399 be a real moment in American history. When this report 0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:08.920 comes out and there's there's nothing in it that's gonna 0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:14.600 the collusion delusion squad is going to look absolutely out 0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:17.480 of their minds, which we all have known all along 0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:21.760 they would, but now we're going to have real hard 0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:26.520
