1
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunch. Ain't no party like

2
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: a Kanye party. Because Kanye was partying with Trump today

3
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: in the Oval Office in the White House. A media

4
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: frenzy ensued. Why does the left get so upset about

5
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: one celebrity showing up to hang out with our amazing president.

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: We'll get into that. And also the disappearance of a

7
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: Saudi distant journalist people believe because of a barbaric murder

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: plot ordered by the Saudi government. That a more coming

9
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: up on The buck Sexton Show. This is the buck

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: Sexton Show where the mission or mission is to decode

11
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American,

12
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: You're a great American Again. The buck Sexton Show begins

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: with CIA analysts. Remember what I need Saturday Night Live

14
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: to prove on. What I need the Liberals improve on

15
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: is if he don't look good, we don't look good.

16
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: This is our president. He has to be the freshest,

17
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: the flies, the flies, planes, the best factories, and we

18
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: have to make our core be empower. We have to

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: bring jobs into America because our best export is entertainment ideas.

20
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: But when we make everything in China and not in America,

21
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: then we're cheating on our country. Welcome to the Buck

22
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Kanye and Trump. Quite a meet today, Quite

23
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: a media frenzy around the whole thing. There you heard

24
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: from the the entrepreneur, musician, producer, provocateur, uh and and

25
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: it was just it was a scene, my friends. First

26
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: of all, he brought back producer Mike. Do you know

27
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: where that came from? The if our president doesn't look good,

28
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: we don't look good. You know what that's from? Right,

29
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: what's no? What's up from? That's the old Vidal Sassoon motto,

30
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: the hair care products that you know, if you don't

31
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: look good, we don't look John john got it as

32
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: you said that. Johnson right behind me. Yeah, I remember

33
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of TV in the in the nineties,

34
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: and that's where that comes from. Kanye is in the

35
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: Oval office. Kanye had quite a chat with our president

36
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: and and there was a lot of a lot of

37
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: very memorable moments. One of my favorites was when you

38
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: had Jim Acosta from CNN of course, tweet out he

39
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: just cursed. Kanye just cursed in the Oval office. I

40
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: can tell you that the other president's cursed of the

41
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: Oval Office. Two folks, So that that's not that's not

42
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: something that that does not happen. Um. But we rather

43
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: other presidents curse and the or presidents in general. UM.

44
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: But Kanye was was quite it. It was quite a

45
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: spectical to that, There's no question about it. He even

46
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: at one point had a real huggable moment with our president,

47
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: Kanye's president too, of course, our American president. He's what

48
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: he said to Play thirteen. This was just set up

49
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: to be a lunch of two people that I like,

50
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: and I guess they like me, and we're gonna have lunch,

51
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk. He said, you know, I love you,

52
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: but I don't want to take I don't want to

53
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: put you in that spot. I'm standing in that spot.

54
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: I love this guy right here. Let me get this guy.

55
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: I love this guy right Here's really ye, that's really

56
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: and that's from the heart. I didn't want to put

57
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: you in that position, but that's from the heart. Special guy,

58
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: definitely a special guy. And folks, I remember some of

59
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: Kanye's uh not so great moments, and I don't even

60
00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: mean some of his exactly his uh overrated songs. I

61
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: do remember Kanye was the George Bush hates quote George

62
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: Bush hates black people. End quote. That is what he

63
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: said after Hurricane Katrina. So I'm aware of the fact

64
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: that this whole Kanye situation could turn very quickly, and

65
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are right now saying that, uh,

66
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: you know that we we shouldn't get too enamored with

67
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: the notion of having a very prominent, wealthy black celebrity

68
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: like Kanye so friendly and familiar with the President and

69
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: working with him on policy issues. By the way, you know,

70
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: you you can say this about a lot of people

71
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: in a lot of different situations. Are we allowed to

72
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: embrace that he's saying things that we like and pushing

73
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: ideas that we like now, or do we have to say, well,

74
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: a long time ago he he had or even you know,

75
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: ten years ago, whatever was, he had a different perspective,

76
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: so that invalidates him. Now, that's not a standard that

77
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: we hold anyone to, never mind to a a celebrity.

78
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: So you know, there's a little bit of I don't

79
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: know if you'd say trust but verify, But there's some

80
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: plause with caution here, I think in order for the

81
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: whole Kanye situation. And then there's also the everybody just

82
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: needs to calm the heck down. Our media was acting

83
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: like Trump went and played eighteen holes with Kim Jong un, which,

84
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: let's be honest, that could probably happen sometime pretty soon.

85
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: But they were acting like this was some crazy thing

86
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: that he added Kanye and talk to him and saying, oh,

87
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: he profaned the profane the office of the presidency by

88
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: doing this, by cursing in there. You know, this is

89
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: the same office, literally the office, the oval office, where

90
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton did a whole lot more in the way

91
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: of profane stuff than have a guest who cursed. But

92
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: there are no standards the media really applies to any

93
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: of this. There's no there's no truth necessary for what

94
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: they say. They just want to find ways to hate

95
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: and to criticize the president, and there's always ways to

96
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: do that. Here here's a perfect example what I'm talking about.

97
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Donna Brazil, whom I managed to debate a few times

98
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: in c at CNN and who was always treated with

99
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: tremendous deference. I mean, they really loved Donna Brazil at CNN,

100
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: So I was supposed to be there to get uh

101
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: buck slapped, if you will. Buck slap gets bucked buck whoops,

102
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Buck gets bucks left um

103
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: and in turn I actually managed to turn the tables

104
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: on her, and she told me she interrupted me once

105
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: and told me to stop interrupting her. It was a

106
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: pretty amazing thing. I don't know some of you may

107
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: have even seen that, but I was never impressed with her. Uh.

108
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: She though, has tweeted out and she has tweeted out

109
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: the following in response this Kenny, remember this was I

110
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: think she was. She was d n C chair chairman.

111
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: And then she gave the questions to Hillary. You remember

112
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: he got fired from CNN. She tweeted out the following

113
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: and response, this whole Kanye thing. Today, Kanye West has

114
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: set us back one hundred and fifty five years. Wish

115
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: so journ or truth could have met with him outside

116
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: the White House and Frederick Douglas inside the Oval Office.

117
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: Barack Obama never would have become president with this crap.

118
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: But let's meet Kanye on election day. By voting for Democrats,

119
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean that the end of that is fine. If

120
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: she wants to propagandize for Democrats, she's totally free to

121
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: do that. But to say that Kanye has set back

122
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: I guess when she says set us back. I wouldn't

123
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: want to put words in her mouth, but I'm assuming

124
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: she means the black community set us back a hundred

125
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: and fifty five years. Well, if one does the math

126
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: on that, it seems uh like she's making a pretty

127
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: pointed reference there. And how is that what a reasonable

128
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: rational person would say? Here, you have a world famous

129
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: black millionaire in the Oval Office embracing the president of

130
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: the literally embracing, I mean giving him may hug and

131
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: sharing ideas with them and sharing lunch with him. This

132
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: is the leader of the free world. This is a

133
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: man talking about Trump. Now, Kanye probably thinks he's a

134
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: leader of the free world among other things, among being

135
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: a deity. But there's no there's no way any sentient,

136
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: normal human being could look at this and say, yeah,

137
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: that's degrading for any group of people, never mind for

138
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: Black Americans. I mean, this is this is the Oval Office.

139
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: And I think that the way they get to this

140
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: is is twofold one. They they hate Trump so much

141
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: that they're blinded with rage about him all the time,

142
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: but also they don't really accept that Trump is the

143
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: president they they have this is this is true about

144
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: the left now, and it explains a lot. It explains

145
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: a lot of their mob mentality and the mob actions

146
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: and the way that they've been willing to cast aside

147
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: basic decency and decorum and to justify this behavior to

148
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: them Salves and to others on the media. And it's

149
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: because they don't really think that he's the president. They

150
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: think that he is a fraud. He is a an interloper,

151
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: he's a pretender to the throne, if you will, and

152
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: so he doesn't deserve any of the respect that one

153
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: would give a president. He doesn't deserve any of the

154
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: deference to the office, if not to the man himself.

155
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: And so if that were your perspective, if you were

156
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: that deluded with with rage and that disconnected from the truth,

157
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 1: then I could see how maybe you'd feel that Kanye

158
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: hugging this man that they think is such a fraud

159
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: in the oval office and having this very warm rapport

160
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: is demeaning. But to any normal person, that's just crazy.

161
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: It's just crazy. That is the most accurate way to

162
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: describe it. And there were some meltdowns today. There were

163
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: some meltdowns that we're incredible, I mean epic meltdowns where

164
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: is that John, do we have that MSNB Oh my god,

165
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: Velshi and and Rule. Who are this duo and MSNBC

166
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: that I've seen a few times now. They went into

167
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: pearl clutching level ten over this thing. You know what,

168
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: Let's let let me let me take a moment of

169
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: her team eight four or four to five eight four

170
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: four Buck, you want to share some thoughts on the

171
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: Kanye situation, call in. We'll get lines open now, but

172
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: when when we come back, you will have to hear

173
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: this meltdown to believe it. It's both hilarious and kind

174
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: of frightening that adults could react this way. That's coming

175
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: up in just a moment. So this is the the

176
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: segment that I was telling you about from MSNBC, where

177
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: you know this is in response to a celebrity going

178
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: into the Oval office. It's not a world changing event.

179
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: Although Kanye and Kim Gardashian have gotten people in front

180
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: of the White House for pardon purposes, right, have managed

181
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: to do some work and some conversations on criminal justice reform.

182
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: And I would note that, well, this is really just

183
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: more about the media reaction to this than anything else,

184
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: because when you see how they react to something this

185
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: innocuous and that really should just be fun and funny.

186
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: You understand how they get so worked up and and

187
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: over excited and angry about other things that shouldn't be

188
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: a problem at all. Right, I mean, if they can't

189
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: handle Kanye going to the overall of us, they really

190
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: can't handle a Supreme Court nominee that they don't like, right,

191
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's some some correlation here. But MSNBC,

192
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: which I know is the most liberal of the cable networks,

193
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 1: CNN is the maybe the most anti Trump at MSNBC

194
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: is the most consistently left wing. And I mean, I

195
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: really think that MSNBC is is the network for leftists,

196
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: and CNN is the network for people who hate Trump,

197
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: whoever they are. If you hate Trump, watch CNN. If

198
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: you're a leftist, if you're a big Bernie Sanders fan,

199
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: you probably want to watch MSNBC. But but ms as

200
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: it is known, MSNBC has on this this duo who've

201
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: got nothing on Crystalline Buck. I'm just gonna say it

202
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: right now, all right, Velshi and Rule whatever, Crystalline Buck

203
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: take them to town any day of the week. But

204
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: this is how they reacted to a celebrity hanging out

205
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: with the president, having lunch and having some photographers around

206
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: play clips twelve to get a thoughtful play by play

207
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: and political analysis. You're not because that was an assault

208
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: on our White House. We're not. We're not. Uh, you

209
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: can't analyze some of that stuff that was said. Um,

210
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: as we warned you at the top, there was a

211
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: little bit of profanity. We there was actually more than

212
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: you heard. We We were able to bleep some of

213
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: it out, but there was some of it did make

214
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: it in there. Um, that was crazy. That was bonkers.

215
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean the things that that Kanye said, I go

216
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: with my favorite. How he talked about he had a

217
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: lack of male role models in his life growing up,

218
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: not a lot of male energy, and is the reason

219
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: he was drawn to MAGA was because of the male pality.

220
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: Put that cap on. He felt like a guy who

221
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: could play catch with his because he didn't have that opportunity,

222
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: which was stunning. You know when he also said, you

223
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: know a lot of African Americans out there, they don't

224
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: like the again, they don't like make America great again.

225
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: And the reason being if you are anything but a

226
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: white male historically, life wasn't better for you than it

227
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: is in the current moment. It's stunning Ali that that

228
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: just say took place, and even that the President would

229
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: say this was just supposed to be a lunch. That's

230
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: an outright lie. I spoke to the White House myself

231
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: several days ago and I saidenly like, guys, do you

232
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: know how unpredictable Kanye is? And they said, guess what,

233
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: so are we? This was absolutely oppressing. So what listen

234
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: to the super serious analysis here, everything that's going on.

235
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: I can we can we treat this with the context

236
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: that under any other presidency you would when a a

237
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: guy or gal who's just a famous person goes talk

238
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: to the president. Didn't I mean producer Mike correct, remember wrong,

239
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: didn't Beyonce and jay z go met with Obama? I

240
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: mean everybody, George Clooney, everybody met with Obama all the time,

241
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: and and we would have to and we hear those

242
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: clowns spouting off. Some of them get very involved in politics. Actually,

243
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: but you know, this is where you see the Trump

244
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: derangement syndrome on display. You know the same way that

245
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: when Obama would play golf, the media would say that

246
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: it was you know that he that he was so

247
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: smooth and slick and cool and chill and doing his world,

248
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: doing the world's business while he's playing eighteen holes and

249
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, calling world leaders from his phone. But when

250
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: Bush played golf, which he stopped doing for not eleven,

251
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: but when Bush would played golf, it was like, oh

252
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: my gosh, look at him, this white male privilege on display.

253
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: Doesn't even care about the country and the sacrifices that

254
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: are going on by our troops overseas. And you know,

255
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: and he did actually get rid of golf because of that.

256
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: But you know, they really would pile on Bush because

257
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: for him to play golf was you know, that was

258
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: that he was an un serious dilettante in the role.

259
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: When Obama played golf, it was charming. You know, it

260
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: was evidence of his of his skill and savoi fare

261
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: under pressure or whatever. Same thing with the celebrity meets.

262
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: Obama went on, Zach Galafanakis is between the two Ferns show,

263
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: Zach Galafinakis is not even funny. Obama went on the

264
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: Mark Maron podcast, and Obama went on, you know, which

265
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: I know has a big audience, but I'm just saying,

266
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, this is it's not like presidents in the

267
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: in the recent past, the most recent president didn't do

268
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: things that. Oh he goes in the Tonight Show and

269
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: all this stuff happens. Um so I am seeing. However, Kanye,

270
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: this is just broke on media. I don't know if

271
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: you can see anything. Oh yeah, Mike, give me the

272
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: list of Obama visits. Celebs, go for it. Here's the

273
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: field and we have a John Legend, Queen Latifa, Stevie

274
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: Wonder Usher, Aretha Franklin. Uh I got scrolled down because

275
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: this list is so long. Uh, Connie Britton, uh a

276
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: dress Elba, jay Z, Jennifer Hudson, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige,

277
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: Nick Jonas, Oprah Winfrey, Smokey Robinson. It goes on and on. Okay,

278
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: everybody basically like, if you're famous and you want to

279
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: see Obama, you could, and that was that was never

280
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: held against him. In fact, they really liked that Obama

281
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: was a celebrity president. Now Trump is a celebrity president too,

282
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: so you know, we're gonna be honest here. But Obama

283
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: being a celebrity president was considered to have cash a

284
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: it was cool that he was a celebrity president. Trump

285
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: being a celebrity president. Is he's a buffoon, a clown,

286
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: He's un serious, he's you know, a bad guy, all

287
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: that stuff. This is where you see the the separation.

288
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: This is where you see how the me he doesn't

289
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: treat same things the same way. And it's all based

290
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: on their perception of the individual, which is based on

291
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, this this political polarization that is now taking

292
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: over everything around us. But I just thought that Velshian

293
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: Rule freak out was pretty incredible. Yeah, okay, so Kanye

294
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: is hanging out with Trump. He said some pretty pretty

295
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: outlandish things. Who cares, it doesn't It doesn't mean anything.

296
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: It's interesting and here's a guy who you know. Another

297
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: part of this that I will say I find I

298
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: do find distressing is that you've had a lot of

299
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: media people saying that, well, we can't take Kanye seriously

300
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: because because he's mentally ill. I think that's a really

301
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: disgusting thing to do. You know, just because Kanye had

302
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: sought mental health treatment at one point, it does not

303
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: mean that he does not get to have a voice

304
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: to be taken seriously the rest of the rest of

305
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: his life. In fact, that's a terrible message to send

306
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: and a lot of people, and I know people who

307
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: are incredibly successful who have had real mental health struggles,

308
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: and we want people to always go Here'd be like saying, Oh,

309
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: you've got a terrible infection in your leg, don't go

310
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: see a doctor, right, That's that would be crazy, same

311
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: thing for anybody in the mental health problem. So to

312
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: stigmatize it in that way and say Kanye because he

313
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: saw treatment for I think it was bipolar disorder, but

314
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't remember, UM, then we can't take any of

315
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: his ideas now seriously, that's a disgusting thing to say,

316
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: and a lot of big media people have been saying it, uh,

317
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: and a lot of networks have been saying and they've

318
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: been psychiatrically diagnosing Kanye from AFAR, which is also unethical

319
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: and really unfair. There is a concern right now. I mean,

320
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: what I heard did not sound like someone UH coming

321
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: clearly to talk to the president about issues that are

322
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: that are in the black community. When it comes to

323
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: issues of Kanye West bringing black people to UH President Trump,

324
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: that is that's a misnomer. Kanye West has made UH.

325
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: The large portion of the African American community upset about

326
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: his comment. It's about race about his comments about slavery.

327
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: So at this point, Kanye West, um, he's exposing himself

328
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: more and more in the highest office in the land.

329
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: This is not just a moment on TMZ. This is

330
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: not just a moment in on E with being the

331
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: Kardashians or whatever that show is. This is for the

332
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: world to see. The world saw Kanye West in the raw. Well,

333
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: this is a reality TV show. We were watching. I

334
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: mean there was can you can you just John do

335
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: I mean, do me a favor, just play the beginning

336
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: of that one more, just just the first couple. I

337
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: just want to make sure everyone hears how she starts

338
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: this off. There is a concern right now. I mean

339
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: what I heard did not sound like someone uh coming

340
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: clearly to talk to the president about issues that are

341
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: that are in the black community when it comes to okay,

342
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: so come clearly you know she's she's also when there's

343
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: very serious in her analysis of all this. But you

344
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: do have these these groups, these these different panels on

345
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: TV who will go on air and they will discuss

346
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: specifically the Kanye Well, Kanye West was you know, in

347
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: in a place where he had to go seek mental

348
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: health treatment. You know that they'll say that, oh, he's

349
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: crazy essentially for a prominent But what they're saying, this

350
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: is what they're saying, for a prominent, prominent black celebrity

351
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: in America to embrace Trump and Maga and believe in

352
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: this movement is evidence of being crazy. Or it's only

353
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: possible if you are crazy. That's what they're saying. And

354
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't think that they know who the crazy one

355
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: really is, but that's what they are telling you. And

356
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: I can't help but notice that one of the favorite

357
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: tactics of the Soviet Union that continued on even into

358
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: the Putin era for dealing with the most hated political

359
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: critics of the regime. You don't just want to lock

360
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: up a political critic, right, you don't want to lock

361
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: up dissidents. Then they become heroes. They become martyrs if

362
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: you kill them. But what if you can get them

363
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: committed to a psychiatric facility. What if somebody who criticizes

364
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: the government can be declared insane by the state and

365
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: committed to be with other crazy, truly crazy people in

366
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: subpar you know, horrific conditions in the interior of Russia

367
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: or in Siberia. That's what they used to do. They

368
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: still do it, their allegations, they still do it, at

369
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: least in Russia. If you are too much of a

370
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: thorn in the administration side, I guess in the regime side, uh,

371
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: they will have you committed. They've done it before. They've

372
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: done it. They try to do to journalists. By the way,

373
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: as well, they have not yet to my knowledge, kidnapped,

374
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: chopped up, and uh and killed the journalists in a

375
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: consulate of a foreign country. But we'll talk about that.

376
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the Khogi issue in the third hour today.

377
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spend some real time on that one with

378
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: you because it's a big deal. It's a big deal

379
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: and raised some very interesting questions for us. And when

380
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: you're talking Saudi Arabia, you're talking about something that does

381
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 1: have an effect on the economy and and is not

382
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: it's not possible to just coordinate off and pretend like

383
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: it's not there. But back to what they're saying, Oh, here, here,

384
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: here's the veterans. So you had able Ryan there. She

385
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: obviously is very opposed to Kanye saying this stuff and

386
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: he's not addressing the concerns of the black community. I

387
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: also just think it's such a it's always taken for

388
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: granted that the black community views politics from this perspective,

389
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: from this completely united and singular perspective, and no group

390
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: of people, I mean, there are I think the black

391
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: community is rough. It's about eleven or twelve percent of

392
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: the country I think right now. So you're talking about

393
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: let's call it, thirty to forty million Americans are black.

394
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: Thirty or forty million Americans are black. I'm sure you

395
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: know it's it's it's the size of a It's a

396
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: good sized country just on its own, the black communities country.

397
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: There are so many ideas and so many different approaches

398
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: to politics within that community. But you know, they they

399
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: pretend like there aren't. You know, they the Democrats pretend

400
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: like there's only one view that's allowed, only one view

401
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: that's acceptable. So you know, April Ryan and she's and

402
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: she's a big hashtag resistance, you know, anti Trump person

403
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: all that. I get it. But you know this this

404
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: is from last night. Uh, this is from what what

405
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: happened or this is what happened on that CNN program.

406
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: And CNN put this on their air, and I gotta

407
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: tell you not I'm not aware of their producer Mike,

408
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: has there been an apology or attraction or anything about this? No,

409
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: I have not seen anything. So a prominent Black American,

410
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: a famous, wealthy, self made black American, gets to hang

411
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: out with the President on incredibly friendly terms, a lot

412
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: of press for it, and the night before this is

413
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: what they put on CNN play nine. And so Kanye

414
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: West is what happens when Kanye West is what happens

415
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: when Negroes don't read um and and we have this

416
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: now and now Donald Trump is going to use it

417
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: and pervert it. And he's gonna have somebody who can

418
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: stand with him and take pictures just looking at Scott's like, whoa. Okay,

419
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: so it's the Chris Rock reference. By the way, we'll

420
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: go back and watch the old Chris Rock. All right, Listen,

421
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: maybe don't work, Tara, Well, I don't know work for who.

422
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: It's not gonna work in the black community. Listen, black

423
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: folks are about to trade Kanye West in the racial draft. Okay,

424
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: they've had it with him. I just why And look,

425
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I obviously I don't agree with with with tera.

426
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: Who is who is a friend of mine? As many

427
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: of you listen to the show, No we've known each

428
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: other for many years. I don't agree with Tara at

429
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: all in Trump, but Bacari sellers starting out and using

430
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: the words that he did, and it's just so demeaning.

431
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: And I have to say, I could imagine for one second, team,

432
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: imagine for just a moment that that exact I don't

433
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: mean changed the people. Imagine that exact, same discussion with

434
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: those same individuals in the discussion. But it was it

435
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: was aired on the Fox News channel. There would be pandemonium,

436
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: there would be calls for boycott, there would be protesters

437
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: in the streets. You know, look look at how crazy

438
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: they get over a over a Supreme Court seat. Trust me,

439
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: they could. They could manage a day of insanity over

440
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: what they would view as some horrific racial incident. You know,

441
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: because it was on Fox News. It seems they don't

442
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: even bat an eyelash over this one. They're like, yeah, whatever, no,

443
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: no big thing, no big deal. I just maybe they're

444
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: desperate for attention and relevance at CNN in general. I

445
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: don't know, but to be so condescending and so dismissive

446
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: of this guy, and I'm not somebody who's into oh,

447
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: let's hear from all the celebrities and politics. Who notice,

448
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you that Kanye has got all these

449
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: great insights. I'm just saying that it was. It's instructive

450
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: the way that the media covers this. It's instructive about

451
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 1: how they view everything else too. The prison that they

452
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: are using to look at this Kanye Trump meeting is

453
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: the same prison that they use that creates so much

454
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: bias on whether they're talking about the economy, or healthcare,

455
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: or national security or anything, immigration, you name it. I

456
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: will say that my favorite quote, Mike didn't he say

457
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: that time? What is it? Time is an illusion? Oh? No,

458
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: time is a myth? Right? Did you see that? Yeah?

459
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: It was. It was gold Man. The whole thing was

460
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: gold Yeah, time is I was Sometimes Kanye's Twitter account

461
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: or Ya's Twitter account. Um, I call him you now

462
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: because I think that's where isn't that Where isn't that

463
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: his shorthand? Sometimes I read it and I think, you know,

464
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: that's actually pretty inspiring. Kanye. I kind of like it.

465
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: I think he doesn't. I think he does a pretty

466
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: good job. But yeah, he he was in there and

467
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: he Oh, by the way, he also took the he

468
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: took the mediate a task, which was a lot of fun.

469
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: He Kanye owns the Libs. That's right. That's one of

470
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: the reasons why they hate him so much. Kanye, He's

471
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: willing to own the libs. Play four teen one of

472
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: the moves that I loved that liberals tried to do.

473
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: The liberal will try to control a black person through

474
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: the concept of racism because they know that we are

475
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: very proud, emotional people. So when I said I like

476
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: Trump to like someone that's liberal, they'll say, oh, but

477
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: he's racist. You think racism could control me, Oh, that

478
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: doesn't stop me. That's an invisible walls. You had one question,

479
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: was gonna go to another question? I answered your question.

480
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't answer questions a simple sign SoundBite you you

481
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: are tasting a fine wine and has multiple notes to it.

482
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: You betta play for d Chest with me, like if

483
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: minority you're pot Mike, we gotta pull that for the show.

484
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: I gotta have the top of the show, the buck

485
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: section show you are. You were sampling this like a

486
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: fine wine, you gotta play for or d Chest like

487
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: Minority report. We gotta we gotta find a way to

488
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: make that. I mean, usually Trump has the people now

489
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: his hands. He had them eating out of his hands.

490
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: He was on fire. He actually set some insightful stuff too.

491
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: It just if you take it for what it is,

492
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 1: you know, and the guy, the guy's very entertaining and

493
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: and this whole thing. Look, is he a showman? Yeah.

494
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: I think Trump sees a lot of I think Trump

495
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: sees a lot of himself in Kanye. I really mean that.

496
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: I think that Trump feels an affinity with this guy

497
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: because he sees somebody who understands how to maximize media attention,

498
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: who's a showman, who's an entertainer. I've told you guys,

499
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: this Trump sitting down to interview him, it's really not

500
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: a Trump interview. I mean, I you know what I

501
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: interviewed him a few weeks back. It was the Trump experience.

502
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the Trump Show and you're there and

503
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: you get to be a participant, but you're in his world.

504
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: This isn't Sometimes in an interview requires the interviewer to

505
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: set up the whole of the parameters of this cushion

506
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: and and pull the information out of the person. And

507
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: it's really I can feel like a very active, a

508
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: more active process on the interviewers part in the interviewee

509
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: with Trump. I mean you can try to you can

510
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: try to guide him a little bit, but he's going

511
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: where he's going. You know. Trump reminds me of one

512
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: of those bulldogs I used to see walking around the

513
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: Upper east Side, one of the big English bulldogs and

514
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: like the little skinny lady would try to walk it

515
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: and like that bulldogs deciding where she's going, you know.

516
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you can, you can try to yank on

517
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: the on the leash a little bit of one director

518
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: the other, but it's gonna go where it's gonna go.

519
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: That's Trump in an interview. He's he wants to talk

520
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: about this issue. He's talking about this issue. And with Kanye,

521
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: I just think that they have a certain they have

522
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: that level of connection. Look, it's Kanye gonna turn around

523
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: in a in a month, in a year. Who knows

524
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: and say, oh I was wrong? Trump is a racist.

525
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know who knows, and and I won't care.

526
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm just more interested in what did the guy actually say.

527
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,239
Speaker 1: This was the one thing that was going on at

528
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: the White House today. You have the entire White House

529
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: press corps just all in one, big gaggle around them,

530
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: and there are some funny moments there, and I just

531
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: wish the media could have more of a sense of

532
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: more of a sense of humor about this. Producer, Mike,

533
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: what is the best Kanye song? I don't know. I

534
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: do not listen to Kanye's music. You know what, I

535
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: just realized. I don't listen to Kanye's music either. John,

536
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: you're cooler than both of us. Do you listen to

537
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: Kanye's music? I don't listen, Um, but I know some

538
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: of his songs. Um, there's one that he he did

539
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: for his mother, which I think is a nice one.

540
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: I can't remember the name of it off hand. Yeah,

541
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: I have to say, oh, well, there's some songs here

542
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: you can't even read out loud. He should come out

543
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: of a song called my Maga. Hat gives me power

544
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: that makes me feel like Superman, like you said today,

545
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: that would be amazing. Do we have that sound bit

546
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: that's increb to play that? To not wear his hat?

547
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: My old friend, but this hat, it gives me, It

548
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: gives me parable Lake and I put this hat on

549
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: and made me feel like Superman. You made a Superman

550
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: makes him feel like Superman. Ah, there we go. I

551
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: like it alright, So that's that's what happened with Kanye today.

552
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: The press, we're freaking out about it. They don't like him,

553
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,479
Speaker 1: no surprise there and all the rest of it. We're

554
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: going to talk more about what's going on with the

555
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: mob mentality on the left in a in a moment,

556
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: because here's what I'm hearing. They want to move past

557
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: this subject because it's actually costing them in the polls.

558
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: They're seeing the overreach on Kavanaugh and the insanity that

559
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: the left has put on display for us. There is

560
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: a problem. Enough Americans have seen this for what it is,

561
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: enough of them hopefully listening to shows like this one,

562
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: hopefully actually this one, that there are real concerns over

563
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,680

Speaker 1: get the discussion rolling? And I just listened to Governor

593
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: Bush and you heard that calming notion. Remember how long

594
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: it's been since we've heard somebody talk calmly about a problem.

595
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: It's not the way presidents have normally dealt with disasters.

596
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 1: Just that contrast between the voice of Jeb Bush and

597
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: the voice of President Trump at the rally has to

598
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: make you feel this cannot be normal. If we allow

599
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: this to be normal, we're losing our sense of who

600
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: we are as Americans. I keep saying over and over

601
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: again that Teddy Roosevelt said, the rock of democracy will

602
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: founder if people in different regions, different sections, different races,

603
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: religions think of themselves as the other. And that's what's

604
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: happening now, and we need leadership to bring that back

605
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: together again. There's uh, Doris Kern's Goodwin very celebrated. Islets

606
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: to the presidential historian or something on the left telling

607
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: us about But they love to do that. They love

608
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 1: to put presidential historians on TV to talk about contemporary politics.

609
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: I always find them underwhelming, to say the least, and

610
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: what they tell us about what's going on today. It's

611
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: nice that a lot of them was usually with the

612
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: research staff to help them can put together an eight

613
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: page book that generally people don't read. But I don't

614
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: really need to hear their take on everything going on

615
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: now because they've written a book about a president from

616
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, eight seventy I don't really think that that

617
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: makes them some kind of particular voice of of insider

618
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: expertise on what's going on today. But notice how the

619
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: criticism there was was actually of the president's tone. It's

620
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: the way that he speaks. Now. I don't even mean

621
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: the the content of the speech. I mean his the

622
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: level of his speech and the sound of his speech.

623
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: Now that's a problem. She's saying, Jeb Bush was calming. Yes,

624
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: Jeb is low energy. This has long since been established

625
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: low energy Jet Trump was giving a rally in Pennsylvania,

626
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: and you know when he talks about issues relating to Florida,

627
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: he's obviously very concerned. He's commanded chief. There's a big

628
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: federal response. But this is what I mean. Everything that

629
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: Trump does is wrong. I mean when people say things

630
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: like Trump could cure cancer tomorrow, and liberals would all

631
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden be pro cancer, it's true. It's not

632
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: an exaggeration. They have involved them their sense of self

633
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: so much in everything that they're saying and everything that

634
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: they're they're doing all the time. Uh, it has so

635
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: much to do with with Trump that they just can't

636
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: help themselves. This is all part of the Trump dellusion.

637
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the response to the hurricane. We'll get

638
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: more into the response to hurricane probably the next hour. Um.

639
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: But there's nothing that they can point you yet in

640
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: terms of Trump being asleep on the job or not,

641
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, not doing the federal aid in quite the

642
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: right way or something. So now it's that his tone,

643
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: his voice cannot be the new normal. Uh. I don't know.

644
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: I can't imagine waking up every day and being such

645
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: a hysterical pearl clutching lib I really can't. It must

646
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: be a very well, I was gonna say, a very

647
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: sad way to go through life. But maybe that explains

648
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: why there's all these rage mobs running around on the left.

649
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: But those mobs, folks, people have seen them, and it's

650
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: starting to show up and set it polls. That's right,

651
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: Problicans get an advantage of people are saying there is

652
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: a Kavanaugh bounce. Let's hope that continues. Global Verification is

653
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: the only dual certified veteran owned background investigation and vetting

654

Speaker 1: company there is. They are the people you want to

655
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: be doing sensitive background checks and looking into anyone you're

656
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: gonna hire, anyone you're gonna rent you or do business with.

Speaker 1: They work with small companies, little startups, entrepreneurial businesses, all

666
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: tell them that you're part of Team buck you heard

667
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: about him here on the show. And tell the CEO,

668
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: Mark Buckman, that Team Bucks as high. Whatever happened to

669
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: the Russia collusion investigation, my friends, remember when that was

670
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: a big thing. Remember when we were constantly being told

671
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: that unless we took immediate and drastic action at the

672
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: top level of the government to investigate every aspect of

673
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: Russia collusion, we would find ourselves with a democracy under threat.

674
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: We'd be in a position where we could no longer

675
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: trust our elected officials because you know, just fill in

676
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: the blank with with whatever parade of horribles you want.

677
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, the election was stolen. Trump is a

678
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: Russian agent, just the the ninth circle of crazy hell.

679
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where we were with this Russia collusion thing.

680
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: People were just and I also thought they were building

681
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: careers on it too. So you have to remember that

682
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: there was a whole component of that fable of what

683
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: some of my colleagues and friends called spygate or the

684
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: biggest political spying scandal of our lifetime. Way worse than Watergate.

685
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: I know. People will say that. People said it about

686
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: Fast and Furious, they said about Benghazi, they said it

687
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: about you know, But but what they said was worse

688
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: than Watergate was Trump working with the Russian secal the election.

689
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: What was really worse than Watergate, because that actually didn't happen,

690
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: was the federal government becoming a tool for the left

691
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: Democrat Party to try and find a way to destroy

692
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: Trump's chances of winning the election and then to stop

693
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: him from being president. After he did win the election.

694
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't get any more police state when it comes

695
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: to surveillance in a at least in what you would

696
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: consider to still be a a Western style democracy. I know,

697
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: we're a republic, I know, but you know, people use

698
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: these terms. Then the intelligence apparatus turned on the presidential

699
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: primary campaign, presidential general election. It just does not get

700
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: dirty ear than that. And you'll notice that this has

701
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: just dropped so far out of the headlines. And there

702
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: are people that were building whole careers on that one aha,

703
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: gotcha moment. There are people who were building up to

704
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: they're going to be the next you know, Woodward and Burnstein.

705
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: They're going to be the next Dan Rather or you

706
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: know whoever was really big in the water Gate era.

707
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: I don't even know if you know you go back

708
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: when all those guys are interchangeable. To me, they that's

709
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: the greatest easiest job in the world, be a news anchor.

710
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: To be the middle aged boomer news anchor, guy who's

711
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: like today on the news. You know, that's amazing. Give

712
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 1: me ten million dollars. So we don't hear about this anymore.

713
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: And here's why they need to wean the public off

714
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: of it CNN and MSNBC, The New York Times, the

715
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: Washington Post. They have to find a way to start

716
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: to come up with other narratives, other storylines in case

717
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: this is this is for for insurance purposes, really, in

718
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: case they don't win the House and then do not

719
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: have the ability to just turn this all into an

720
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: impeachment question, because there's a big tie in between Kavanaugh

721
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: and what happened to him and what they're going to

722
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 1: do to Trump. I don't I haven't heard anyone else

723
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: may this comparison, but this is really important. You heard

724
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: this When they were going after Kavanaugh, they would say

725
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: it's not illegal proceeding, it's not illegal proceeding, And that

726
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: was a way to try and evade any do process

727
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: or just basic fairness procedures. Oh, it's not a legal process.

728
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: It's whatever we say it is. And it's it's all

729
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: about what we can convince people to do, because it's

730
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: it's really just a battle of rumors, right, It's just

731
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: we'll we'll have people say things, there's no evidence, there's

732
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: no there's nothing to we can't we're not gonna subpoena

733
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: any evidence from these people. It was all meant to

734
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: create a parallel process to the legal process that the

735
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: Left can control. Now, impeachment is, in fact a parallel

736
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 1: process to the legal process that the Left can control

737
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: if they take the House, and that's what they're gearing

738
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: up for. So whenever we try to have the argument

739
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: that Trump was not found guilty when it comes to

740
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: Russia collusion of anything, they're going to say, it doesn't matter.

741
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: This isn't a criminal trial. Trump is guilty of mouthfeasance

742
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: of high crimes and misdemeanors while in office, which is

743
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: essentially whatever the House of Representatives decides he is guilty of.

744
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 1: Now they can't remove him from office. But the biggest

745
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: feather in their cap they think going into the election

746
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: is going to be that President Trump was impeached. Right,

747
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: that President Trump is an impeach president. We have to

748
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: remove him, get rid of the corruption, get rid of

749
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: the uh, you know, the racism and misogyny and sexism

750
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: and all that stuff that's going on because of Trump,

751
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: they say. And that's a way to the left to

752
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: avoid the fact that they don't have compelling arguments on

753
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: policy matters. They can't meet us on the battlefield of

754
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 1: ideas when it comes to policy. So what they do

755
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: is turn this into a battle of reputational of a

756
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: reputational fight or somebody's you know that the perception of

757
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 1: whether someone is racist or not, a perception whether someone's

758
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: a misogynist or not, and just oh he's ikey, don't

759
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: vote for him, he's icky, which is really what they

760
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: want to convince everybody about Trump all along. But there

761
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: there's a development in this whole rush of thing today.

762
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: This is what made me think of this that a

763
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: lawyer for Glenn Simpson this from the Hill dot com

764
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: my my own website. We're on work. Uh I don't

765
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: when I say my own, I obviously don't own it.

766
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm an employee. Co founder Refusion GPS told the head

767
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 1: of the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday that his client

768
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: will invoke his constitutional rights not to testify, depying, defying,

769
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: depying what is that depie him take away his pie?

770
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: Defying a GOP issued subpoenas seeking to compel him to

771
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: give a closed door deposition. The lawyer Joshua Levy told

772
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlad an electronic letter that Simpson will

773
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: not participate in this committee's inquiry because it is not

774
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: designed to discover the truth m HM quote. Consistent with

775
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: the September letter we sent you, Mr Simpson, whose testimony

776
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: is a matter of public record, will not be participating

777
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: in a confidential deposition before this committee. This according to

778
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: lawyers for Simpson, he will be invoking he's right not

779
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: to testify under the first and fifth amendments of the Constitution. Uh. Now,

780
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: I understand that this is where people will say, based

781
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: on their politics, well, if you take the fifth, you

782
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: must be guilty. That's not fair. The fifth is a

783
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: procedural protection, and there are times when I assure you

784
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: there would be people that you and I are much

785
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: more favorably disposed towards who would take the fifth, and

786
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: we would say that's apps the right thing to do.

787
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: So it's not just that he's taking the fifth, but

788
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: it's that there is such a clear pattern in general

789
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: of people who were tied to the dossier, people who

790
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: were early on big advocates of the whole Russia collusion

791
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: theory with regard to Trump and the election, who want

792
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: to make sure that that the information does not get out.

793
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: They don't want to testify, they don't want subpoenas to

794
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: be declassified. They don't want the release of the fives information.

795
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: They don't want the full scope even of Mueller's probe

796
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: to become public. Well, when that's the situation, I think

797
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: you do have to ask yourself what the heck is

798
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: going on here? You never see a greater revelation of

799
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: information from this investigation supported by the people that think

800
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: that Trump has done terrible things. It's the people that

801
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: think that Trump has been set up and ambushed here

802
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 1: and smeared. They're the one They're the ones who want

803
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: more information out there. They're the ones who want us

804
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: to be able to get to the facts and get

805
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: to the truth. So I just would note that they

806
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: are back in office right now because one I think

807
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: that Muller knows that, you know, to put more kind

808
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: of you know, rinky dink indictments out there. Oh, we're

809
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: gonna indicte some more Russian sock puppets. You know, they're

810
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: never gonna actually sit in the courtroom. That would look

811
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 1: really to borrow a word from before Ikey, right before

812
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,240
Speaker 1: the election. So it won't be till after the election

813
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: that we get more information. But the the Democrats are

814
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: in a little bit of a of a little bit

815
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: of a bind here because they don't want to overpromise

816
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: and and they don't want to make it seem like

817
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: they're trying to throw this mid term based on all

818
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: the work that they've already done against Trump. I think

819
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: it's too obvious for them, you know, So they're they're

820
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: laying a little low on the Russia collusion stuff, and

821
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: you know, the primary. You know that the price very

822
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: narrative against Trump is very much personal, and I think

823
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: they go more for the twenty five Amendment lane here

824
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: than anything else. You know, they're trying to say that

825
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: Trump is just unfit for office instead of Trump is

826
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: a Putin puppet. But I will keep an eye on this,

827
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: and my colleagues at the Hill who have been breaking

828
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: a lot of these stories, Uh, they've got more coming up.

829
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: I really do hope, and I'm holding out hope that

830
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: Trump declassifies those FISA documents and the investigation origin documents

831
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: that that I think he should do before the election,

832
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: because in my opinion, that could be a game changer.

833
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: If you've ever found yourself wincing at the weak sauce

834
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: taste of coffee from one of those left leaning COMI

835
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,919
Speaker 1: corporate brands. You probably thought yourself, I wish they spent

836
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: less time on meaningless bias, training, bathroom or foreign policy

837
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,439
Speaker 1: and other things that the five common sense, and more

838
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: time on their coffee. That's why you need Black Rifle coffee.

839
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: I drink Black Rifle every day. In fact, it's such

840
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: delicious coffee that usually I'm a guy who throws a

841
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: little milk in his coffee. But you know what, with

842
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: Black Rifle, I'll just go straight black, my friends, That's

00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,320

851
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: It is time for us as Democrats to be as

852
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: tough as they are, to be as dedicated as they are,

853
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 1: to be as committed as they are. But Michelle Which

854
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: says that you know when they go low. We they

855
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: go low, we kick. That's what this new Democratic parties about.

856
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: You better be careful what he's wishing. For that, I

857
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 1: can tell you he's better be careful what he's wishing.

858
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: A disgusting statement for him to make. For him to

859
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: make a statement like that is a very dangerous statement.

860
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: You know, they talk about us, we are exactly opposite.

861
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 1: You know the rallies they used to send in protesters Democrats.

862
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: They took the Democrats and Sorrows and they came from

863
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: all over and we'd have protesters, and I would say

864
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: this that it wasn't so successful for those protesters. But

865
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: they have to be careful with the rhetoric because it's

866
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: very dangerous what Holder says. Now. I know that this

867
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: then kicks off a whole conversation about, well, one, did

868
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: did Holder really mean to kick people? I think that

869
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: it's irresponsible for him to say that in the context

870
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: of what's going on right now, the heat of the

871
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: political moment that we're in. But he certainly could say

872
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: that he was using it as rhetorical floors because I

873
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: don't like when people say, oh, you're your target dis

874
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: congressional district, or you you're waging a campaign. That's that's

875
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: martial rhetoric. We're talking about politics. You know, we have

876
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: to be able to speak, but we also have to

877
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: be held accountable for our words, and we have to

878
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 1: be honest about what we're really saying and what really

879
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,959
Speaker 1: advocating for. I think that Eric Holder is a very

880
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: good reminder for everybody of how the Obama administration approached

881
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: things like the Department of Justice, where Holder would say

882
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: that he was Obama's wingman. I mean that that was

883
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: from his own mouth. He said that Holder's job was

884
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: to protect the administration. Holder's job was not the Administration

885
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 1: of Justice. And as we know from the Fast and

886
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: Furious Debacle, justice was never top of mind for Eric

887
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: Holder's d o J. But this kicked them when they

888
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, when they go low. We kicked them. I

889
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: mean this, this idea that the Left has to fight

890
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: fire with fire just goes to show you how delusional

891
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: they are. You know this, This is this reminds me

892
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: of someone. I don't know if you ever had a

893
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: had a friend like that, and this is true of

894
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: the Democrats and Left generally. You had the editor in

895
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: chief of Politico right that you know, now the gloves

896
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: come off after the Kavanaugh hearing. If calling somebody on

897
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: completely bogus, nonsensical allegations a gang rapist, you know from

898
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: thirty five years ago, if that's not gloves coming off,

899
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: I need to know what is. Because if that's not

900
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: gloves coming off, the only step I can think of

901
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: is in fact, violence is tyranny is force in place

902
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: of the law. And when you have people gathering in

903
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: mobs outside the Supreme Court, gathering mobs at restaurants that

904
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: and mob is the appropriate word, that does feel like

905
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:51,439
Speaker 1: something different, That does feel like a break in our

906
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: expectations of what is acceptable in politics. But this idea

907
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: that they have to fight fire, that's essentially they have

908
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: to play dirty because our side is playing dirty. This

909
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: is crazy. I mean, this is loony tunes to say

910
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: that after the cat, to say it in general, is

911
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 1: attached from reality. He let's let's just do this. Let's

912
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 1: let's play a little game. Give me the equivalent on

913
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: the other side, all right, And I know I can't

914
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: hear you all across the country on our five stations

915
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: and a large streaming audience on I Heart radio app

916
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: and the podcast audience WHO podcast audience, make sure you

917
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: tell your friends to listen to podcasts about the show.

918
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: By the way, Buck Sexton on Apple Podcasts, great way

919
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: to go. But let's play this little game together, think

920
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: of and you can say it out loud if you want.

921
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 1: Although you're like, Buck, that's weird why you can't hear me?

922
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: But you know it's you know, it's get in the

923
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: get in the field of the game. You know, what

924
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: is the conservative equivalent to Antifa answer? There is none.

925
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: They will say things like, oh, the tea party. I'm like,

926
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: the tea party involved no property destruction, no threats of violence.

927
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: It involved a certain aspects of a kind of historical restoration,

928
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: meaning people believed in, you know, restoring the ideals of

929
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: the founding and so yeah, there were some tri corner

930
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: hats and some Founding Fathers paraphernalia. But you know DC

931
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: is full of that too. I mean, it's on our money, folks, right,

932
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Founding Fathers paraphernalia. That's whether the

933
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: Founding Fathers was anyone ever under threat at a tea

934
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:38,280
Speaker 1: party rally? Did tea partiers show up at random politicians

935
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, private moments when they were having dinner at

936
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: their homes and say that they were going to follow them.

937
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: We're Republican politicians saying get in their faces and oh no, okay.

938
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: So whenever I hear that, oh the Tea Party, that

939
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: was anger and hate. You know, that was hateful. They

940
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: were talking about the debt and the deficit and constitutionalism

941
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: and stealing from future generations. Now, I will say a

942
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: legitimate criticism of the Tea Party movement, although it did

943
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: just deliver us the House, and thank you Tea Party,

944
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: but a legitimate criticism of that movement is that it

945
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: is it fizzled when it comes to fiscal responsibility. And

946
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 1: I do think that this is going to be a

947
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: very very big problem for us, and nobody wants to

948
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: deal with it right now because it's just not popular.

949
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be the one that says, yeah, you

950
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: know what, we we can't keep spending like drunken sailors.

951
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to be the party of all the money

952
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: you have. But anyway, there's no conservative equivalent to antifa. Um,

953
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: there's no conservative equivalent to the calls from politicians people

954
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: like Maxian Waters, people uh, you know, people like Harono

955
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: who won't you know, not only will they some of

956
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: them call for getting up in people's faces, which is

957
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: very aggressive, which is really calling for what is borderline assault.

958
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: You know, this is like, uh, when when people will

959
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: do things on the street where they will follow you

960
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: and get up in your face and they want you

961
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: to sign something, and then you know the moment that

962
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: I try to step around someone and then they try

963
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,280
Speaker 1: to step in front of me. Again, that's not getting aggressive.

964
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 1: Now they're actually threatening my personal space, right, I mean,

965
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: you know the line between I want to be verbally

966
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: aggressive and I'm actually showing aggression where you have to

967
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: be in fear of your safety is much murkier than

968
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats want to pretend it is right now.

969
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 1: But you even have the Heronos of the world who

970
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: won't won't call it out, won't shout out down, they

971
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: won't say you know what, we shouldn't do this. They'll

972
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: just say, well, you know, people are angry, this is

973
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 1: what people are gonna do, this is what they want

974
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: to do. So you know it is what it is.

975
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: I mean that that really that is the attitude that

976
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 1: you get from them. Um, you know, where's the correllary?

977
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: So you don't have the corollary or the the analogous

978
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: position on the right when it comes to politicians. There's

979
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: no right wing version of antifall. There's no right wing

980
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: version of the Democrats who are saying get up in

981
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: people's faces and follow them home. There's no right wing

982
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: version of lunatic protesters who show up wearing genitalia on

983
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: top of their heads and and screaming and shrieking at

984
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: Senate committee hearings. You know, there's none of that. We

985
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 1: don't do that, And so I think it's important to

986
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: take a moment for all of us to say there,

987
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: this isn't a both sides thing, this mob mentality, this

988
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: shrieking and threatening and crazy behavior, this is a problem

989
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: predominantly and overwhelmingly of the left, and it's going to

990
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: be a problem with them at the polls unless they

991
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: can lie to enough Americans and act like this isn't

992
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: a problem. So we won't let that happen, folks, we

993
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: won't let them get away with it. I'll bet you

994
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: it costs me. You know, I see these people say, oh,

995
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: Trump gets rich being president. I'll bet you I've lost

996
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. It's cost me billions. I said to

997
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: one of my friends, a very wealthy friend. I said,

998
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'll bet you it cost me two or

999
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: three billion dollars, and it's worth every penny of it.

1000
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't need the money, and it's worth every repetti

1001
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 1: because I'm doing so much for the country. Yes, it's

1002
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: it's nasty, it's vicious, it's incredible. The false reporting is

1003
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: so incredible. But honestly, I'm doing a great job. And

1004
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: that's why I have these crowds. These crowds aren't showing

1005
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: up if I don't do a good job. They see

1006
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: the difference when they pick up two or three thousand

1007
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: dollars more from taxes all of a sudden that I

1008
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: have nowhere. They're getting two thousand dollars. That's a lot

1009
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: of money to people. And I think that there are

1010
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of people who hate Trump,

1011
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: as I've said to you many times, because he is

1012
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:40,439
Speaker 1: so far a successful president, meaning that that they hate

1013
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: him even more now that it is clear that he's

1014
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: actually up to the task. I mean, they can say

1015
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: as much as they want about how oh Trump the moment,

1016
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: we should get rid of him, but they really despise

1017
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: this man. Because he's been able to do such a

1018
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: strong job in the position. Now forget about they'll say

1019
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: his tone is terrible, he's a racist is oh my gosh,

1020
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: and they'll bring up all this stuff. The country and

1021
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: how it functions right now is strong, it's going well,

1022
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: everything is moving in the I shouldn't say everything, but

1023
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: in general there's a feeling of optimism about the nation. Uh,

1024
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: certainly optimism about the the economy. But they despise Trump.

1025
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: And I also think that when we start to value

1026
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: why is that we've had some of these there's a

1027
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: couple of phenomenon these are related and then I'm just

1028
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: really thinking out loud on this one. But it's something

1029
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: that's been on my mind for a whild team, so

1030
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: I'll share it with you. You know, you have these

1031
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: these never Trumpet types who have some of them have

1032
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: gone straight up Democrat now, I mean they have actually

1033
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: switched teams officially, although a lot of them might as

1034
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: well have switched teams. I mean they can say they're

1035
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: not never Trump, but for all intents and purposes, they are.

1036
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: But why is it that they, um, they hate this

1037
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: president so much and that there are so many people

1038
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: who I'm from not exclusively government backgrounds, but I think

1039
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: come from backgrounds where they've spent time in government and

1040
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: they're of the system and of the establishment, and they

1041
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: hate this guy. I really do think that they hate

1042
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: him because one, he isn't supposed to be able to

1043
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 1: do this. And I can tell you that there's a

1044
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: lot of people in the government who really like to

1045
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: think that they have some magic powers of of thought

1046
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: and and organization and management of that other people don't have.

1047
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: Right that one. Once you become a government employee long enough,

1048
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: because you become culturally acclimated from being within this bureaucracy

1049
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: to think that there's something that you know, you have

1050
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: to be in government to understand government. That's that's essentially

1051
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: the distillation of this boy. You have to be in

1052
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 1: government to understand it. You know, you have to have

1053
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: been a Beltway insider, or you've had to had to

1054
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: run for elected office time and time again. Essentially, you've

1055
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: got to be part of the professional political class, not

1056
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: necessarily a politician, but part of the professional political class

1057
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: in order to be competent in these roles. And it's

1058
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: just not true. And I think that makes a lot

1059
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: of people who have power in this country, a lot

1060
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: of people who are part of the elites and the

1061
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: establishment to feel uncomfortable because they've built their careers and

1062
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: their reputations on the notion that well, you know, I've

1063
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, the the Gurgen effect, or work for fifteen presidents,

1064
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: or visor every prisoner, and since advising was a word,

1065
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: and there's you know, used to rideing or horse and

1066
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 1: buggy whip to get the offers, and you know, you

1067
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: get these guys who the whole their whole resume is

1068
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: this long stretch of government work and different government jobs,

1069
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: the idea of being well, they must understand, they must

1070
01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: make better decisions, They must know this stuff better than

1071
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: somebody like a Trump who just has existed in the

1072
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: private sector in the real world and hasn't made this

1073
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: crossover into public service. And I don't think I'm overstating

1074
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: it when I say that there's a real resentment of this,

1075
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 1: and I'm really aware of it now that I'm in

1076
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 1: the swamp in d C. They really don't like that

1077
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: this president is able to do this, because he's not

1078
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be able to do this. He he brings out,

1079
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: Trump brings out I don't else I put this the

1080
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: insecurity of losers in a way that is very clarifying. Um.

1081
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: And I don't mean people that aren't rich and don't

1082
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: you know that has nothing to do with being a

1083
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: loser or being a winner. I mean people who lack

1084
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: self confidence, people who lack the true belief that they

1085
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: know who they are, they believe in what they can do.

1086
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: And you know, whether you're you know, a garbage man

1087
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: or a heart surgeon, you know you can and should

1088
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: have confidence in swagger and who you are and what

1089
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: you do where every day. And I find that those

1090
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: people like Trump. You know that the people who are

1091
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: are are comfortable in who they are. And yes, they

1092
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: feel like the culture has been unfair to them in

1093
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: many ways. You know, the progressive leftist echo chamber of

1094
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: the media and Hollywood has been unfair to them. And

1095
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: I agree with all that, um. But it's the people

1096
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: I find who consider themselves to be great, consider themselves

1097
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: to be elite, and and hold positions that are elite,

1098
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 1: but no, deep down that they're not real. They didn't

1099
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: really earn it or there they're not really as awesome

1100
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: as they think they are. I think Trump, as a

1101
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,959
Speaker 1: general rule makes them uncomfortable. And at the point too,

1102
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: I know I said point one about ten minutes ago,

1103
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 1: he might have lost that one. Point one is just

1104
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: that he's not supposed to be able to do this,

1105
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: and he can do this, and he is doing it.

1106
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: The second point goes more to what we opened with

1107
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 1: their where he's saying these lost money being president. Here's

1108
01:02:58,080 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: a little, a little secret that I know from my

1109
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: arm in government. For a lot of people, government is

1110
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: not about public service. For a lot of people, it's

1111
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: about getting on a pathway two wealth and influence. And

1112
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: for a lot of and for other people who already

1113
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: have wealth and influence, it's really just about ego. Now

1114
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Trump doesn't have an ego. Trump has

1115
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 1: a very big ego. I mean, Trump's ego is probably

1116
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: as big as anybody ever gonna find. Uh And and

1117
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: so I'm not delusional about Trump at all. I'm aware

1118
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: of the fact that. But I think to have that job,

1119
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: you have to have a certain sense of your own

1120
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: uh well, your own worth is understanding it, you know

1121
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: your own greatness. You have to believe in your own greatness.

1122
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Maybe you believe you're called to greatness by the role,

1123
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: but you have to believe that that you have it

1124
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 1: within you. Um. And that's why I think humility for

1125
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: people who are in power is such an attractive trait

1126
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 1: because we all know that there's a little bit of

1127
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: the I'm amazing, I'm the greatest things and slight spread.

1128
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: But on this, on this issue though, of governed in service,

1129
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: Trump didn't need this. Trump wasn't somebody who if he

1130
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 1: didn't win the presidency, he hadn't had the career he wanted,

1131
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: or he hadn't had the life he wanted. To the contrary,

1132
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: I think that Trump ran really to make a point

1133
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, at least early on, and

1134
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: then realize, oh my gosh, this point that I'm making

1135
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: is so powerful that I could win this thing, right.

1136
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: But it was never like he he never needed the presidency.

1137
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: He thought he would do a good job in the presidency.

1138
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 1: And that's different. That's different. You know, I think that

1139
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: people you know, I think, for example, someone like Jeff Bush,

1140
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: I think he needs the presidency because he's had two

1141
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: family members who have had it, and there'll be a

1142
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: sense of inaddic he's never going to, by the way,

1143
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: but I think he'll have a sense of inadequacy. If

1144
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: he does not reach that that pinnacle of political power,

1145
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: I think that he'll feel like he's, you know, fallen

1146
01:04:54,240 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 1: short of w what do you say, Mike Clap exactly?

1147
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 1: So you know, I think he's somebody who obviously, Hillary Clinton,

1148
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: as I've said to you, Hillary Clinton has a hole

1149
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: in her soul that only money and power can fill.

1150
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: And that's why for someone like that, the lack of

1151
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: of winning, as winning a presidential contest is just so

1152
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: crushing to her, although it also is the thing that

1153
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 1: I think drives her on. I still think she's gonna

1154
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 1: run number three time three. I still think she's gonna

1155
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: try to get another Go call me crazy as much

1156
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: as you want, I still think she's gonna do it.

1157
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: I don't think Hillory has decided that she's no longer

1158
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: in the game. She's out there now going, you know,

1159
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: almost full Antifa in terms of what she's saying. You know, yeah,

1160
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: we're not gonna be civil anymore. Sorry, Well that that's

1161
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 1: that's not the words of somebody that's looking to just

1162
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: be on the book tour and and have some quiet

1163
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: golden years. That's not what you'd expect there at all.

1164
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 1: But you know, this is really the the different aspects

1165
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: of Trump that upset the media, upset the political class.

1166
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 1: You have to understand those because that's where so much

1167
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: of the ferocity against him comes from. It's really personal.

1168
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:10,959
Speaker 1: It's really about how they don't like Trump. His policies,

1169
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: for the most part, are pretty mainstream, geopen. The judges

1170
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: he picks our mainstream GOP as we've seen, you know,

1171
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: the judges, he picks our mainstream. The the tax cuts

1172
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: were very mad. And you know, there's nothing that he's

1173
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: actually done. The regulation, all this that's outside of what

1174
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: would be considered within Republican norms, and nothing that he

1175
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 1: says he's gonna do, nothing that he rather has done,

1176
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: is really shocking at all that anyone has been paying

1177
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: attention politics. It's the way he says it, and it's

1178
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: who he is that's what really sets them off. And

1179
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I start to think that it also

1180
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: is it's not just that there's there's some joy that

1181
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: I take and I'm sure you feel the same way.

1182
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 1: There's some joy that you probably take as well from

1183
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: watching Trump just agre the libs. I mean, he is

1184
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: a giant trigger of libs. I mean he is the

1185
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: ultimate melter of snowflakes. That's entertaining, to be sure, But

1186
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: I also think there's a part of this where he

1187
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: off balances them, he unbalances them. You can say he

1188
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: makes them kind of crazy, right. He he puts them

1189
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: on their back feet in a way that they're not

1190
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: used to with any Republican politician, with anybody that they

1191
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: would consider the political opposition. And that's really part of

1192
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: his X factor. He gets under their skins so much,

1193
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: and they're not used to it. They're used to just

1194
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: being the cool kids in the cafeteria that everybody wants

1195
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: to sit next to. They're not used to somebody coming

1196
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: by flipping their hat off their head and calling a

1197
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: bunch of punks. And Trump's amazing for doing it. Hurricane

1198
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: reports on Hurricane Michael unbelievably destructive, powerful, It was the

1199
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 1: fastest hurricane anybody's seen. It just was speeding. If it

1200
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 1: wasn't that be absolutely nothing left. Because I just both

1201
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 1: with Governor Scott, they're very happy. Food is being now

1202
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 1: following the hurricane being now brought in. We have unbelievable

1203
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: large amounts of water and food and everything that people

1204
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: can want. The electric companies have been terrific. They're already working.

1205
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 1: The roads are being cleared out. Many trees are in

1206
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: the path of the electric companies. The roads are being

1207
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: cleaned right now. They're being for the most part, they're

1208
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: open enough to get the electric companies in and a

1209
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 1: lot of electricity is already back on. Some of the

1210
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: awful electricity is already back on. That's in Florida. They're

1211
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: following up in Georgia. So the Trump administration is showing

1212
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 1: competence in doing what the federal government can to help

1213
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: respond in a situation like this. Obviously was really nasty hurricane.

1214
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't too and then it came up with category

1215
01:08:56,160 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 1: four winds that moved really fast. But one interesting side

1216
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: note to this, and the first priority, the first thought

1217
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: of of everybody is getting help to those who needed

1218
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: and making sure that there's no we're minimum loss of life.

1219
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 1: I think there's been two lives lost so far. But

1220
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: as we know, it can often be the aftermath where

1221
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 1: much of the damage is done in terms of the

1222
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: human cost. But Hurricane Michael hit and there used to

1223
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 1: be this I guess you'd call it a gentleman's agreement

1224
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 1: gentleman's agreement among politicians that when something like this goes on,

1225
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 1: you will you will cease the political attack ads. That

1226
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: was not the case here, folks. You had Ron de

1227
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 1: santiss rival Andrew Gillham getting hit with some some ads.

1228
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 1: You had, uh, the the Democratic superpack that's trying to

1229
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: help Bill Nelson in Florida take down his opponent, Governor

1230
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 1: ricks Rick Scott. They called him a shady millionaire in

1231
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: the ad. By the way, John, I'd like to be

1232
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: a shady millionaire. That sounds like fun. You know, being

1233
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 1: a millionaire would be great, But a shady millionaire, it

1234
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 1: sounds like you're the kind of millionaire that has parties

1235
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: on his yacht and has a little too much fun.

1236
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: So I think that sounds good to me. But they're

1237
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: running these these attack ads, um and and people are

1238
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 1: pointing out that this is a different thing than what

1239
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: you you would usually expect. Remember, they're not just running

1240
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 1: attack ads. They running attack ads in the state that

1241
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: is getting just battered while it was getting battered by

1242
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: this hurricane. And they're running ads specifically on the opponent's

1243
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: inability to respond to the hurricane. So usually you wait

1244
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: for a politicization of these things. And then look, a

1245
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 1: hurricane response is fair game to criticize politicians for I'm

1246
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:45,879
Speaker 1: not saying that, but usually you wait for the politics

1247
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: to fly until until literally the storm has passed. And

1248
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: in this case, the the candidates are running these ads

1249
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: even while the while the storm was was overhead and

1250
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: people were trying to either batten down the hatches or

1251
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: or wait until they can return to their homes. By

1252
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 1: the way, the footage of it is just the devastation.

1253
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: I know that you know the news channels because it's

1254
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: there's such a visceral human reaction to seeing you know,

1255
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 1: we all think what would it be like if I

1256
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 1: lost my home? What would it feel like if I

1257
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: had to flee a natural disaster like this? And so

1258
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 1: when you see those images, you're immediately drawn to it.

1259
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:23,600
Speaker 1: And I know that there's something of a of a

1260
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 1: news cliche here with all the coverage going on of

1261
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: of a of a hurricane like this, but there there

1262
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 1: was this political backstory to it, which which I think

1263
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: also illuminates how tight these Florida races are. People are

1264
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: going to look to the Florida governor's race, uh and

1265
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: between Gill him and Scott, and they're gonna look to

1266
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: the the Senate race, UM, and they're gonna try to

1267
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: extrapolate from that for the implications for the presidential race.

1268
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 1: You know, the idea here being that Gill him, who's

1269
01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 1: a young African American guy, mayor of Tallahassee, very progressive,

1270
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: very left wing, I think would be really damaging the

1271
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 1: state of Florida with the policies that he's proposing. And

1272
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 1: he's one of these guys who's you know, he if

1273
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: he's not outward I think he is for single payer outwardly,

1274
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 1: so I should probably, But if he's not outwardly for

1275
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: single payer, he might as well be UM. But you know,

1276
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 1: they they certainly are drawing some comparisons between him and

1277
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: Barack Obama. He's young, he's telegenic, he's African American, UM.

1278
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:29,719
Speaker 1: And and that's what they progressive base wants to see

1279
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: in their new candidates. They want to see, you know,

1280
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: minority representation, they want females, they want UH and specifically

1281
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 1: for those reasons. You know, Conservatives we like having people

1282
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: from all backgrounds, but we just like having the best people. Uh.

1283
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 1: Identity politics is such a big factor on the left

1284
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 1: these days that they really get very excited about this stuff.

1285
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:51,679
Speaker 1: But the Florida races are gonna be very very tight

1286
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 1: and and so tight that they're not wasting even a

1287
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: single day while they're getting slam by category for Hurricane

1288
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 1: to take the ads, take the negative ads off the air.

1289
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 1: So I think that gives you a sense of of

1290
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:09,759
Speaker 1: where that all is. And uh, I do believe Scott's

1291
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: gonna pull it out, but let's kill him, guys, gonna

1292
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 1: make He's gonna make it close. It's gonna make it

1293
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 1: very close. Oh, I've I've got something by the way

1294
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: that I've been meaning to get to all week with you,

1295
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:22,640
Speaker 1: um and I just have been waiting to have a

1296
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 1: night where you know, I'd had the time to read

1297
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 1: in and we could really dig into it together. I

1298
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,640
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about this assassination of alleged

1299
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 1: assassination right now of a critic, a Saudi national, critic

1300
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: of Saudi Arabia's monarchy, and what's going on inside the

1301
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A crazy and brutal and just

1302
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: bizarre story that's coming up. With all the recent news

1303
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 1: about online security breaches, it's hard not to worry about

1304
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 1: where my data goes. Making an online purchase or simply

1305
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 1: accessing your email could put your private information at risk.

1306
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: You're being tracked online by social media sites, marketing companies,

1307
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 1: and your mobile internet provider. Not only can they record

1308
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:08,639
Speaker 1: your browsing history, but they often sell it to other

1309
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: corporations who want to profit from your information. That's why,

1310
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:16,040

01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 1: for the Buck brief. Yeah, there'll be something that has

1324
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 1: to take place first. I want to find out what happened,

1325
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: and we're looking again. This took place in Turkey, and

1326
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: to the best of our knowledge, Kashogi is not a

1327
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 1: United States citizen. Is that right? Or is that it's

1328
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 1: a permanent resident. Okay, we don't like it, John, we

1329
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 1: don't like it, and we don't like it even a

1330
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: little bit. But as to whether or not we should

1331
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 1: stop a hundred and ten billion dollars from being spent

1332
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 1: in this country, knowing they have four or five alternatives,

1333
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 1: two very good alternatives that would not be acceptable to

1334
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 1: be Okay, but we're looking for the answer and I

1335
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,639
Speaker 1: think probably you'll have an answer sooner than people think,

1336
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. What happens to Saudi national and

1337
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 1: outspoken critic of the Saudi regime, Jamal Kashogi? That is

1338
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: a question that is getting more attention than ever. Was

1339
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:05,759
Speaker 1: he in fact lured? Was he in fact lured into

1340
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 1: the Saudi consulate in Turkey and brutally murdered and cut

1341
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:18,759
Speaker 1: up into pieces? This is turning into a very big deal.

1342
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 1: And let me get into a bit of why that

1343
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: is the case. Jamal ka Shogi, as someone who some

1344
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 1: of you may be familiar with, toyet almost two million

1345
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: Twitter followers. He was a Washington Post columnist, and he

1346
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: had become a critic of the man known as mbs

1347
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: Uh who is the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed

1348
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:50,760
Speaker 1: Been Salmon Uh. So he's a guy who runs the country. Now,

1349
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 1: he is the premier in Saudi for all intents and purposes.

1350
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: And there had been criticism of him for a while

1351
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: now by by Kashogi, who had been saying all the

1352
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 1: all the pretty usual stuff about how the Saudi regime

1353
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: is repressive, on how you're not allowed to well, you're

1354
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:15,799
Speaker 1: not allowed to criticize the regime obviously, And now everyone

1355
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:18,719
Speaker 1: is is completely up in arms, certainly in the press corps,

1356
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: as they should be, by the way, I mean, I'm

1357
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 1: with I'm as with the press as anybody on you.

1358
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 1: You can't have foreign heads of state calling for the

1359
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 1: assassination of journalists on the soil of period, but also

1360
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 1: on the soil of another country, of another sovereign state,

1361
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: in this case, on the soil of a NATO ally. Now,

1362
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: the Turkish the Turkish government is causing its own problems

1363
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 1: for US, and there's certainly reason to be concerned about

1364
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 1: the US relationship with Turkey more broadly, but at the

1365
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: end of the day, it is a it is a

1366
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:59,480
Speaker 1: sovereign state that has a pretty well functioning intelligence apparatus

1367
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 1: that the how he's would have done this. We haven't

1368
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 1: talked about this in the show, so let me take

1369
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: a moment here to tell you what the the events

1370
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: as we know them are as as followed. Um, there

1371
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 1: was a Kashogi had was getting married and he needed

1372
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:21,679
Speaker 1: to get a marriage license for his uh, a Saudi

1373
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 1: marriage license essentially, so he went to because he's married

1374
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 1: this woman, he went to the Istanbul consulate and his

1375
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: fiance was waiting for him outside and he never came out.

1376
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 1: And after a few hours she called a contact and

1377
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 1: she was worried, and then the police got involved. And

1378
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: what's happened since then as a information has come out

1379
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: that a team of about fifteen hitmen, who were believed

1380
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: to be carrying Saudi diplomatic passports, arrived on two private jets.

1381
01:18:55,920 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 1: Some of them are from MBS's personal security detail, according

1382
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: to press reports, including one who has an expertise in autopsies. Yeah,

1383
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 1: you can imagine. And the stories that we're reading right

1384
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 1: now not entirely confirmed. But the stories that were reading

1385
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: involve a brutal murder of kaush. I haven't read yet

1386
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 1: how but I would guess they probably you know, tortured

1387
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: and beat him to death, a brutal murder, and then

1388
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: dismembering his body, putting his body parts into bags and

1389
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 1: disposing of them. In fact, one Midi Space paper, although

1390
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: it's it's funded by the cutteries, so it's you know,

1391
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,639
Speaker 1: take it with a grain assault. One Midi Space paper

1392
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:40,799
Speaker 1: claims they have a source telling them that the body

1393
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: parts of Kashogi, So the anti Saudi journalist that's been murdered,

1394
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 1: that's missing, that's now turned into this global story. His

1395
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 1: body parts may be buried in the residence of the

1396
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: Consul General of Saudi Arabia in Turkey. So this guy,

1397
01:19:56,680 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 1: essentially he's a senior Saudi official, may may have these

1398
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 1: body parts buried in his backyard. This is crazy, folks.

1399
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 1: This is if you read about this in a fiction novel,

1400
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:13,640
Speaker 1: you'd say, come on, that's so that's so outrageous. Not

1401
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 1: only is this not you know, this is not the

1402
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 1: kind of guy you can disappear. And I want to

1403
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 1: get into a little bit of well, what does that

1404
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,599
Speaker 1: tell us about the Saudi motivations here. By the way,

1405
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: the Saudis are saying what we'd expect, which is, of course,

1406
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, they think that he left, and they don't.

1407
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:33,799
Speaker 1: They don't, they don't accept any responsibility for this. Nothing happened.

1408
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: This is all crazy conspiracy theorist. You know, you could

1409
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: assume all that um but and then then I'll get

1410
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:41,679
Speaker 1: into some of the complicating factors here. But the Turks

1411
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: have pretty good intelligence and police forces and plenty of

1412
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 1: surveillance cameras and other ways of figuring out what went

1413
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:51,800
Speaker 1: on here. And for the Saudis to do this on

1414
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: Turkish soil instead of trying to lure Kashogi back to

1415
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. If he went to Saudi, all bets will

1416
01:20:58,160 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 1: be off. We wouldn't you know, he would have just

1417
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: disappeared and nobody would know. So they did this in Turkey.

1418
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:06,839
Speaker 1: Uh well, keep in mind that Kashogi was a permanent

1419
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:09,600
Speaker 1: resident of the US. Now he had gone into a

1420
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 1: self imposed a self imposed exile of sorts here in

1421
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:17,040
Speaker 1: the States. But that the Saudis would do this is

1422
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:20,600
Speaker 1: so brazen. And now you have all these different politicians,

1423
01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, Lindsay Graham said, they'll be hailed to pay,

1424
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 1: you know, and I like Lindsay now as you know, Hey, hey,

1425
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: I like Lindsay. He did the right thing in the

1426
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh hearing. I've always been okay with Lindsay Graham, but

1427
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 1: now I'm I'm pretty pro Lindsay. But people are saying

1428
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 1: that's gonna be held to pay. It seems increasingly likely

1429
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,040
Speaker 1: that the Saudis will just deny, deny, deny. But the

1430
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 1: overwhelming weight of the evidence is that this was a

1431
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 1: a brutal, broad daylight you know, hours assassination inside a

1432
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 1: diplomatic facility on another country's soil. This is the kind

1433
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: of stuff that that you do cut off, you know,

1434
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: relations with a foreign country for. Because they believe that

1435
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 1: this was most likely ordered at the very top of

1436
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 1: the Saudi government, or at least there was consent for

1437
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 1: it given at the very top level of Saudi government,

1438
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 1: perhaps by MBS himself. This is crazy, This does not happen.

1439
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: And people will say, oh, but the Russians, Yeah, the

1440
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: Russians have engaged in assassinations of critics and and but

1441
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:32,160
Speaker 1: they they tend to be former Russian nationals. They've done

1442
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: in the UK. I know, but they've never done it

1443
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 1: in their former Russian nationals, which this guy is a

1444
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:40,639
Speaker 1: former Saudi national, but as a former Russian national. And

1445
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: they never do it in a diplomatic facility though, and

1446
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:49,760
Speaker 1: they certainly wouldn't send multiple private jets with Russian officials.

1447
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the Russians are too ethical for this,

1448
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 1: They're just not so foolish as to do this. But

1449
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: then you get to the buck. Then you get to

1450
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 1: the buck. Then it to the point where you have

1451
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 1: to ask yourself a hold on a second, did the

1452
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: Saudis do it this way to send an even stronger message?

1453
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 1: I often tell you on this show, and I have

1454
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 1: said in the past that you know, sometimes burning to

1455
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: young village sends an even stronger message. You know, we're

1456
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: burning down the whole village and not just one house.

1457
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:20,640
Speaker 1: Obviously sends a stronger message too. But you don't have

1458
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 1: to burn down everything. You can just make an example

1459
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:28,839
Speaker 1: of one. And here you have a very high profile critic,

1460
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 1: Washington Post columnist who was writing about all of the

1461
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: really what what is a mafia state? And then the

1462
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: Saudias are a mafia state with a religious veneer. I

1463
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:42,599
Speaker 1: mean that but Saudi Arabia is a is a kleptocracy.

1464
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:46,720
Speaker 1: You know, the ruling family has enriched itself to the

1465
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 1: tune of who knows how many billions of I mean

1466
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:52,839
Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of dollars over the course of of decades.

1467
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:57,679
Speaker 1: The Saudi family is incredibly rich, and the Saudis are

1468
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 1: as you know, very repressive because all the way back

1469
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 1: to the unholy although they would have thought it was

1470
01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:10,560
Speaker 1: holy alliance between the fundamentalist preacher on the Arabian peninsula.

1471
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 1: Even Abdul Wahab from the eighteenth century, believe he was

1472
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 1: born in seventeen o two. I think he lived about

1473
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 1: seventeen ninety two or maybe seventeen eighty two. So eighteenth

1474
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 1: century preacher who made this deal with the Sads who

1475
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:28,560
Speaker 1: were desert war lords, and that's how you get Saudi Arabia.

1476
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:33,720
Speaker 1: But they merged together this religious uh, this religious extremism,

1477
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 1: which is known as Wahabism. But they they don't like

1478
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 1: that term. They prefer Salafism. Salah means the forefathers of

1479
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: the Muslim faith. So they say it's Salafis, it's fundamentalism, essential,

1480
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:52,640
Speaker 1: it's Islamic fundamentalism, and or Islamic you know, literalism, textualism,

1481
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 1: although even that is kind of difficult to decipher because

1482
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 1: if you ever read the Koran, there's a lot of

1483
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 1: But they killed that, they've they've killed this guy now,

1484
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: and it's going to cause some major problems on the

1485
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: international diplomatic See I'll get into why and what the

1486
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 1: what the end result of all this will be in

1487
01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:13,760
Speaker 1: just a moment. We'll talk more about this what looks

1488
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 1: to be most brazen, high profile assassination of adverts that

1489
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: that I can remember, Stay with me. Social media sites

1490
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 1: are the future of conversation, my friends. We know this.

1491
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 1: I use it as a powerful tool and reaching out

1492
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: to you and spreading the word about this show, and

1493
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: you use it among your friends and family to share

1494
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 1: your thoughts on everything that matters to you. But we've

1495
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 1: seen so much of the left wing bias at play

1496
01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 1: in the last few years. We know that Facebook and

1497
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,559
Speaker 1: Google and these other massive social media enterprises have all

1498
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: kinds of left wing conversational health shadow banning nonsense going on.

1499
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 1: If you want to put a stop to that, we've

1500
01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:00,759
Speaker 1: got a new site for you, Snippy dot com. Snippy

Speaker 1: P P Y. That's snippy dot com again, snippy dot com,

1506
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 1: No censorship, no nonsense. Get the conversation started. What do

1507
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 1: we do now? What will the Trump administration do? What

1508
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 1: will the rest of the world do? If it if,

1509
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 1: in fact it is irrefutable that the Saudi government ordered

1510
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 1: the assassination of Jamal ka Shogi, this, this dissident, this critic. Uh.

1511
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 1: The truth is that is very little that I think

1512
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 1: will be done, because we have shifted our dependence on

1513
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: Saudi in one very important way, but we've also increased

1514
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 1: our dependence on Saudi in another very important way. There

1515
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 1: are really only two reasons we care ab out Saudi Arabia,

1516
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 1: oil and regional security. Everything else about the Saudiast we

1517
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: obviously are not only not in favor of, but I

1518
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 1: had a colleague in my government days used to refer

1519
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 1: to Saudia as the heartland of hate. There's a lot

1520
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 1: of very bad stuff going on there, No doubt you've

1521
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 1: read and seen the read and seen about the public square, beheadings,

1522
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:28,759
Speaker 1: and women can't drive, and all the different repressive laws

1523
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: about Christianity and sexuality. I mean, it's just it's probably

1524
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 1: second only two North Korea in terms of its overall

1525
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 1: level of totalitarianism. I can't think of another state that

1526
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 1: is as repressive as Saudi Arabia, um, other than North Korea,

1527
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:51,480
Speaker 1: which is in a class by itself. So what exactly

1528
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: are we gonna do about Saudi Arabia. The problem is

1529
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 1: we have gotten way less dependent on them to be

1530
01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:00,839
Speaker 1: this kingmaker, so to speak. In the glowy oil markets,

1531
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, Saudi output was something we would turn to

1532
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: and say, all right, you know you've got an OPEC

1533
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 1: was really feared by the US. I mean, OPEK was

1534
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:11,840
Speaker 1: such an economic force for a long time. But now,

1535
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 1: because of the shale oil revolution, Thanks drill, baby, drill,

1536
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: we are way less dependent on Saudi oil, not just

1537
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: for our own needs, but really for just the global marketplace.

1538
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:26,519
Speaker 1: We are now the world's pre eminent energy superpower. It's

1539
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:29,320
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I think the economy has

1540
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 1: done so much better in the last decade or so

1541
01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:34,639
Speaker 1: than a lot of people would have anticipated. We are

1542
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 1: an energy superpower. Now number we're number one. There's really

1543
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 1: nobody else that can can claim that title. If you

1544
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 1: had asked twenty years ago, people would have said the

1545
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 1: Saudias because of their oil, although the Russians with hydrocarbons

1546
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 1: in general, when you add natural gas into the and

1547
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:53,479
Speaker 1: oil into the mix, that are have always had a

1548
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: lot of it. But so we don't need the Saudia's

1549
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 1: as much for energy. But here's the the exchange that

1550
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:02,719
Speaker 1: we've made now Now we need the Saudia's much more

1551
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 1: in order to balance the Iranians in the region. We

1552
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 1: used to lean on Egypt, and Egypt and Israel were

1553
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 1: really the centerpiece of our Mid East foreign policy and

1554
01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 1: security strategy that now has has changed. Egypt is just

1555
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:21,639
Speaker 1: not the power at once was. It's not as reliable

1556
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 1: for us as it was. And the saudiast have been

1557
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 1: buying up a whole heck of a lot of US

1558
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:33,040
Speaker 1: military hardware for quite some time, which unfortunately we've seen

1559
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 1: at work in the conflict in Yemen, where you've had

1560
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:40,400
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of civilians killed in these these air

1561
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:42,519
Speaker 1: strikes in a in a civil war that does not

1562
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 1: look like it's going to and anytime soon. But we

1563
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 1: want the Saudi East to be in the mix because

1564
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 1: we need the Saudiast to be able to stare across

1565
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 1: the border at Iran and say, you know, don't don't

1566
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,320
Speaker 1: step out of line. And we want the Saudiast to

1567
01:29:57,320 --> 01:30:02,680
Speaker 1: be a counterbalance because they are the primary Sunni Muslim

1568
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:05,879
Speaker 1: force in the Mid East now, and obviously the primary

1569
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:09,160
Speaker 1: Iran I mean, the primary Shia Muslim force in the

1570
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:12,639
Speaker 1: Mid East is Iran. So we we really do want

1571
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:16,640
Speaker 1: this this balance of powers because otherwise we feel like

1572
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:18,639
Speaker 1: we're going to be the ones that are working alone

1573
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 1: to try and box in Iranian proxies and and prevent

1574
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 1: a kind of Shia crescent from becoming a realization that

1575
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 1: could be a very real strategic threat to Israel, to us,

1576
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,360
Speaker 1: and to our our interest more broadly. So that's where

1577
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:35,680
Speaker 1: I get to the I don't think we're gonna do

1578
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:38,720
Speaker 1: very much about this. I don't think there's gonna be

1579
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 1: a whole lot of interest in taking major actions. You

1580
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:43,040
Speaker 1: see a lot of tough talk about this. Trump is

1581
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 1: saying it makes him very uncomfortable, he doesn't like it.

1582
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:48,200
Speaker 1: But no administration I think would do all that much

1583
01:30:48,200 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 1: about this. Uh, there won't be any judicial proceeding. I

1584
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:56,960
Speaker 1: don't think Saladis would never extradite anybody under uh these circumstances.

1585
01:30:56,960 --> 01:30:58,639
Speaker 1: To us, they're not gonna extradite people that were traveling

1586
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:03,759
Speaker 1: under diplomatic passport to the Turkish authorities for a trial.

1587
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:06,920
Speaker 1: There an interesting side note that you won't hear, I

1588
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:10,880
Speaker 1: think on any other show because Shogi has he's not

1589
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:12,760
Speaker 1: a Look, he was murdered, it was terrible, But just

1590
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 1: if you want a little more background on him, he's

1591
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:19,280
Speaker 1: actually very pro Muslim brotherhood. He's very pro Islamist. He

1592
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:21,920
Speaker 1: is not a liberal in the Western sense of the term.

1593
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:25,160
Speaker 1: And and often Western journalists make this mistake. They think

1594
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:30,799
Speaker 1: that just because somebody isn't on board with the old

1595
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:36,080
Speaker 1: school Mid East strongman authoritarian regimes, that they must be,

1596
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, pro democracy, pro woman's rights. In fact of

1597
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:44,360
Speaker 1: Shogi was very opposed to democracy. Um. He wanted I'm sorry,

1598
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:48,599
Speaker 1: very very opposed to liberalism. He saw democracy only as

1599
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:52,800
Speaker 1: a means of instituting shariah um. He was somebody that

1600
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:56,800
Speaker 1: that believed in using the democratic process to achieve theocracy,

1601
01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:59,880
Speaker 1: whereas what you have in Saudi Arabia is essentially Salafism

1602
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:04,240
Speaker 1: without elections. He wanted Salafism, but people voting on it

1603
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 1: at first. As you know, once you get to that,

1604
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:10,840
Speaker 1: once you get to that place of having a theocracy,

1605
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 1: elections tend not to last very long in any meaningful

1606
01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 1: way because you don't have the civil society below them

1607
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:20,719
Speaker 1: to allow for the kind of conversation that would result

1608
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:24,840
Speaker 1: in democratic processes being meaningful. So because Shogi is not

1609
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 1: this liberal reformer that a lot of journalists are talking about,

1610
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 1: not not at all. But he was a critic of

1611
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 1: the Saudi regime. And you know, you have this geopolitical

1612
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 1: reality and then there's the another reality. And I can

1613
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 1: say it here, but I can tell you that a

1614
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 1: lot of places you won't hear much criticism of this.

1615
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:42,960
Speaker 1: You won't hear it talked about as a story. Even

1616
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 1: the Saudias have really spent a tremendous amount of money

1617
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 1: investing in media in this country, major corporations. They're huge

1618
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 1: shareholders and major corporations. And they also have invested a

1619
01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:00,960
Speaker 1: tremendous amount in some of our most prest of just universities.

1620
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:06,080
Speaker 1: So they have an influence in cultural and information based

1621
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:12,160
Speaker 1: institutions here that allows them to mute the criticism. And

1622
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:14,439
Speaker 1: that's something that we should all be aware of. The

1623
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 1: Saudis have bought into American American media in ways that

1624
01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:21,960
Speaker 1: lets them call the shots, and you won't hear it

1625
01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:25,639
Speaker 1: talked about because they're calling a lot of shots. They've

1626
01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:29,719
Speaker 1: written very, very big checks and are not shy about

1627
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:32,720
Speaker 1: throwing their weight around on these issues. So keep that

1628
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:34,400
Speaker 1: in mind, because when you look at what's going on

1629
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 1: with Saudi and you look at how friendly all administrations

1630
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 1: stretching back really for a century now in America are

1631
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:48,040
Speaker 1: to Saudi Arabia, it's remarkable. And this is the arguably

1632
01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:50,920
Speaker 1: the second most totalitarian state on the planet, and we

1633
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:53,040
Speaker 1: act like they're a bunch of good buddies of ours,

1634
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 1: and it's just for reasons of short term self interest,

1635
01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 1: but we should at least be able to be honest

1636
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:00,760
Speaker 1: about what's really going on there. And I think the

1637
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:05,559
Speaker 1: murder of this journalists might start that conversation. I could say,

1638
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm the most bully person on the world. You think

1639
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:12,720
Speaker 1: you're the most bullied personal one of them if you

1640
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:15,760
Speaker 1: really see what people saying about me. That's why I,

1641
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, might be best initiative is focusing on social

1642
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 1: media and online behavior. We need to educate the children

1643
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:32,400
Speaker 1: of social emotional behavior so when they grow up and

1644
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:36,160
Speaker 1: they know how to deal with those issues. And I

1645
01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:40,679
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I think that the First Lady, first

1646
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:44,280
Speaker 1: of all, she she's right in saying that she gets

1647
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:47,559
Speaker 1: just really mistreated by a lot of folks out there.

1648
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:51,360
Speaker 1: She's really never been treated like a first Lady. There's

1649
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 1: a very widespread, both in the open and behind closed doors,

1650
01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: ongoing mockery and undermining of her from a mainstream press

1651
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:05,720
Speaker 1: that seems to just want to discount that she was

1652
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:10,160
Speaker 1: a successful model, that she speaks I think five languages

1653
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:13,679
Speaker 1: and is an immigrant who is now the first Lady

1654
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 1: of the United States. That's just never the story with her.

1655
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:20,200
Speaker 1: That they always jump past all of that, and they say, oh,

1656
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, she's a third wife and she has a

1657
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:25,600
Speaker 1: funny accent and all this stuff. But even putting that

1658
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 1: aside from it, because we know that there's just a

1659
01:35:28,160 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 1: a different set of expectations that the media has for

1660
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:38,480
Speaker 1: a Republican versus Democrat first families. When when you compare

1661
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama's lunch program with what I think the First

1662
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:48,719
Speaker 1: Lady right now, Melanne is trying to accomplish. Online bullying

1663
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:52,280
Speaker 1: really is a is a scourge, and it's a cultural

1664
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:55,880
Speaker 1: issue that is relatively new and that I think is

1665
01:35:57,160 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 1: corrosive to our society. Uh whereas the the Michelle I've forgot,

1666
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 1: I've forgotten some of the visuals. I'm trying to bring

1667
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:06,599
Speaker 1: them back right now to talk to you. But Michelle

1668
01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 1: Obama's lunch thing was, Yeah, let's just tell kids that

1669
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:12,960
Speaker 1: they all have to eat like boiled kale. That's gonna

1670
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:15,560
Speaker 1: go over really well. If you saw some of the

1671
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:18,519
Speaker 1: lunch it issiatives the first lady was pushing and what

1672
01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:21,560
Speaker 1: she thought kids were gonna eat. I mean, yeah, theoretically,

1673
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 1: you could tell people to have two baby carrots, uh,

1674
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:29,240
Speaker 1: some alfalfa sprouts and an apple and maybe a tiny,

1675
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 1: tiny packet of of almond butter and say that that's lunch.

1676
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's necessarily gonna take off in

1677
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:38,839
Speaker 1: terms of popularity. I'm not sure you've you've solved solved,

1678
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:43,879
Speaker 1: you know, child nutritional issues in our schools by essentially

1679
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:46,320
Speaker 1: making sure they're gonna be hungry and not enjoy lunch time.

1680
01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 1: But online bullings are very, very real thing, and I

1681
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:52,519
Speaker 1: just wonder how this is one of these things that

1682
01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:54,759
Speaker 1: I think about in advance. You know, how do parents

1683
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 1: even deal with this? It's bad enough that kids get

1684
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 1: bullied in school in the old fashioned way. I really

1685
01:37:01,120 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 1: can't even begin to to fathom how I would handle

1686
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:08,920
Speaker 1: having a kid who was getting really badly bullied. And

1687
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:10,640
Speaker 1: it's not just kids who are bullied, as we know.

1688
01:37:10,680 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there are there are adults who are just

1689
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:19,160
Speaker 1: relentlessly cyber harassed. I'm really in favor of of accountability

1690
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:21,680
Speaker 1: for people who are going to do that meeting. I

1691
01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 1: think that the social media companies, instead of just saying, oh, well,

1692
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:26,639
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna block, they should be like, well, look,

1693
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:29,120
Speaker 1: if if you don't stop this behavior, we're gonna give

1694
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 1: your IP address to the person being harassed and then

1695
01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:34,000
Speaker 1: they have the right to sue you. Right, We're gonna

1696
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 1: make it harder for people to just get away with

1697
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,400
Speaker 1: this behavior. They've gotten a lot better. I mean, the

1698
01:37:38,479 --> 01:37:42,800
Speaker 1: different platforms I will say now seem to well they've

1699
01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:47,200
Speaker 1: overcorrected a bit by going after political speech. But stuff

1700
01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:51,719
Speaker 1: that's really personal and threatening and violent, that that should

1701
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 1: be sifted out by these by these companies. And I

1702
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:57,880
Speaker 1: know that then that forces this big First Amendment discussion

1703
01:37:57,920 --> 01:38:02,400
Speaker 1: of well, what's what's really going to be cut out?

1704
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:04,519
Speaker 1: What is going to be edited from the conversation as

1705
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:07,080
Speaker 1: a result of all this, I know it's not easy,

1706
01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:09,599
Speaker 1: but I just think that that the First Lady bringing

1707
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:11,599
Speaker 1: bringing it back to home base here for a moment.

1708
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 1: I think the First Lady gets a gets a raw deal.

1709
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:17,720
Speaker 1: I think that people are um she she keeps a

1710
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:22,040
Speaker 1: pretty low profile, all things considered, and I even when

1711
01:38:22,080 --> 01:38:25,680
Speaker 1: she has little moments where they say she's being a bit, uh,

1712
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:30,360
Speaker 1: what's rebellious from the Trump orbit, you can tell that

1713
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:34,599
Speaker 1: that the media just has no real affinity for her,

1714
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:38,000
Speaker 1: no real respect for her, and it's and it's a shame.

1715
01:38:38,439 --> 01:38:40,920
Speaker 1: It's a shame that that's the case. And I think

1716
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:46,559
Speaker 1: that that's also why you're seeing a shift now away

1717
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:52,160
Speaker 1: from covering the sort of away from covering a lot

1718
01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:54,559
Speaker 1: of the Palace intrigue stuff, because people are tired of it.

1719
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:58,280
Speaker 1: And I think that they feel like the First Lady

1720
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:02,120
Speaker 1: is staying away from that too. She's like, look, I'm

1721
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:04,240
Speaker 1: not I'm not a part of that. Because the stories,

1722
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:06,000
Speaker 1: it's all the same stories. Oh so and so is

1723
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:09,439
Speaker 1: gonna get fired, or oh we heard from someone that

1724
01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 1: that's that this person in the White House said this

1725
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:15,520
Speaker 1: about this other person. It's just all nonsense. It's all garbage.

1726
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 1: And I do think that there's been this really active

1727
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:20,800
Speaker 1: effort not just to undermine the White House through those

1728
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:24,800
Speaker 1: kinds of stories, but also too just just always it's

1729
01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:29,519
Speaker 1: it's sometimes subtle, but to be snubbing melaniat Trump and

1730
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 1: and never really she has not been embraced by the media,

1731
01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 1: by the culture at all, which given that she is

1732
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 1: the most beautiful first lady I think in the history

1733
01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:42,720
Speaker 1: of the country, is kind of a surprise, isn't it.

1734
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're just thinking about it from a

1735
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:48,559
Speaker 1: fashion and culture perspective. But it is what it is.

1736
01:39:48,600 --> 01:40:09,600
Speaker 1: My friends, Roll call coming up. It's time for roll Call. Indeed,

01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 1: buck event dot com. Let's get to a team. By

1746
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:44,800
Speaker 1: the way, you might even have an appearance by fake Ariana.

1747
01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 1: Those of you who have heard the Stansbury podcast know

1748
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Fake Arianna Huffington's might be there.

1749
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to it um. First off, we

1750
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:58,360
Speaker 1: have Rita who writes in at Facebook dot com slash

1751
01:40:58,360 --> 01:41:02,320
Speaker 1: buck Sexton. Well, come back. Like someone said last night,

1752
01:41:02,360 --> 01:41:03,719
Speaker 1: you need to find a way to do your show

1753
01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:06,800
Speaker 1: from a car, a plane, or a rental scooter. As

1754
01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:09,560
Speaker 1: an aside, are there scooters fast enough to outrun and

1755
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:14,240
Speaker 1: out maneuver any mob of mostly peaceful protesters. By the way,

1756
01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: after his lunch with Mr Trump today, I can feel

1757
01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:21,200
Speaker 1: Kanye changing. He's making himself a target, and I hope

1758
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:24,040
Speaker 1: he's strong enough to withstand the ugliness. He's forgotten that

1759
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:26,519
Speaker 1: all members of a demographic group are assigned their opinions

1760
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:31,920
Speaker 1: and must not deviate, whether it's blacks, Hispanics, LGBT, white men, hispanics,

1761
01:41:31,960 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 1: all the rest. Shields hie h read it. Thank you

1762
01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:36,920
Speaker 1: so much for writing in, and I am going to

1763
01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:39,439
Speaker 1: try to figure out a way to be able to

1764
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:43,720
Speaker 1: do the podcast from my hotel room wherever I may be.

1765
01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm not planning any travel anytime soon, but I would

1766
01:41:47,160 --> 01:41:50,559
Speaker 1: really like to be able to, you know, be able

1767
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:54,640
Speaker 1: to record wherever I am. Usually because I heart the

1768
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:57,120
Speaker 1: company I work for, iHeart Media has studios all across

1769
01:41:57,160 --> 01:41:58,720
Speaker 1: the country. If I'm in a city, I'm good to go.

1770
01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:01,920
Speaker 1: It's just the question of plane travel time and then

1771
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:05,040
Speaker 1: getting to a studio. Um, but I will certainly, I'm

Speaker 1: exactly William F. Buckley yet. I think the left would

1809
01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 1: be shocked to find out he's probably more conservative at

1810
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:11,839
Speaker 1: this stage in his life than his hero, former Republican

1811

1814
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:26,240
Speaker 1: There are not that many, but there are certainly some.

1815
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:31,200
Speaker 1: Uh Ian writes book where the option to download your

1816
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:33,200
Speaker 1: podcast go. I love to listen on I Heart, but

1817
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 1: we have really poor cell reception where I drive. I

1818
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,080
Speaker 1: subscribed to the Blaze. I was hoping I could download

1819
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:40,160
Speaker 1: it there, but your page has no info. Help. I'm

1820
01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:43,040
Speaker 1: having bucked withdrawals. Ian. It should be available on buck

1821
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 1: Sexton dot com. Uh, it should be available on the

1822
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:50,639
Speaker 1: Apple podcast in the Apple Podcast Store. Uh So try

1823
01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:55,280
Speaker 1: those and let me know. If you still have a problem, uh,

1824
01:44:55,320 --> 01:44:57,560
Speaker 1: t J. Rights for the show Rising. I've noticed you

1825
01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:00,280
Speaker 1: guys have started uploading each individual segment to you Tube.

1826
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:02,720
Speaker 1: That's great. However, do you think that they could just

1827
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:05,639
Speaker 1: combine all the segments from each day into one YouTube video.

1828
01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:07,479
Speaker 1: That way I can turn the thing on later in

1829
01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:10,639
Speaker 1: the day and efficiently listen to the show at double speed.

1830
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:15,960
Speaker 1: T J. I think we are moving in that direction.

1831
01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 1: I can't speak with great specificity or knowledge to any

1832
01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:22,560
Speaker 1: of the changes we're planning on the on the platform

1833
01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:26,120
Speaker 1: or the platforms that we have for watching Rising, but

1834
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:29,120
Speaker 1: we want to make it as much a digital error

1835
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 1: product as possible, and that means making ease of use

1836
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:35,759
Speaker 1: very high up on our list of priorities. So we're trying.

1837
01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:39,800
Speaker 1: We're absolutely trying, Angela, writes Buck. Knowing you're a Ghostbusters fan,

1838
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:42,320
Speaker 1: be sure to go back and listen to Glenn's radio

1839
01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:45,240
Speaker 1: show this morning, the last twenty minutes. You'll be very

1840
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:50,160
Speaker 1: happy to hear it. Reserve your tickets now. Um well, Angela,

1841
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:51,880
Speaker 1: I have no idea what you're talking about, but I

1842
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:54,120
Speaker 1: will go check it out. We're supposed to have Glenn

1843
01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:58,080
Speaker 1: on Rising in the next week or two I think

1844
01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:01,479
Speaker 1: so that's a thing that's going on. We'll see how

1845
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:05,920
Speaker 1: it goes. Uh, Timothy, Right, here's a crazy thought for you.

1846
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 1: All of the liberal craziness started under Bill's presidency when

1847
01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:13,439
Speaker 1: Hillary let all of the mentally unstable people out of

1848
01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:17,920
Speaker 1: the mental hospitals. Uh, Timothy, I have no idea what

1849
01:46:17,960 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about, but I appreciate you writing in. This

1850
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:25,000
Speaker 1: is good to hear. Good to hear from folks, Jim

1851
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 1: writes Roll Call. Well, that's good because it's going into

1852
01:46:28,040 --> 01:46:31,200
Speaker 1: role called Jim, is there any chance the moron Ocasio

1853
01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:35,920
Speaker 1: Cortez could lose? To the professor, it is desperation that

1854
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 1: Obama has endorsed her. She's so dumb in every interview

1855
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 1: about basic questions. Um, maybe she hasn't laughed out from

1856
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:46,040
Speaker 1: the room. Your phrase word salad is perfect? And what's

1857
01:46:46,040 --> 01:46:48,439
Speaker 1: with the way she points with her pinky whenever I

1858
01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:50,439
Speaker 1: hear her, I think there's no way she can get elected?

1859
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:54,400
Speaker 1: What the hell is it? Jerrymannering at its worst. Uh,

1860
01:46:54,560 --> 01:46:57,360
Speaker 1: shields Hie. You know she is going to get elected.

1861
01:46:57,520 --> 01:46:59,360
Speaker 1: And it tells you a lot about Democrats that not

1862
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:03,719
Speaker 1: only is she gonna get elected, she is a already

1863
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:06,840
Speaker 1: treated as a kind of prominent member of the Democrat

1864
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:11,400
Speaker 1: Party show. I think that this is the the trajectory

1865
01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:14,840
Speaker 1: of the Democrat left is to increasingly have people that

1866
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:21,360
Speaker 1: they find compelling for being telegenic, compelling for fitting a

1867
01:47:21,439 --> 01:47:27,200
Speaker 1: certain molder background, but not for being um knowledgeable about

1868
01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 1: policy or having any background of draw and that would

1869
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:34,839
Speaker 1: help them be good legislators. Chris, when you played Trump's

1870
01:47:34,840 --> 01:47:37,519
Speaker 1: clip about Denang Dick rescuing the injured and going back

1871
01:47:37,520 --> 01:47:40,160
Speaker 1: for more the bullets whizzing by, I think Trump missed

1872
01:47:40,160 --> 01:47:44,840
Speaker 1: an opportunity to compare him to Forrest Gump. Well, I

1873
01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:48,200
Speaker 1: think Trump does a pretty good job of of mocking

1874
01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 1: denang Dick, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

1875
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:53,840
Speaker 1: I think I think he's got it. Uh, That's one

1876
01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:57,240
Speaker 1: of Trump's great skills is giving people, giving people who

1877
01:47:57,280 --> 01:48:03,639
Speaker 1: deserve mocking nicknames nicknames that will stick. Joe writes Buck.

1878
01:48:03,680 --> 01:48:06,960
Speaker 1: Glenn interviewed Robert Epstein on his show. I sent a

1879
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:09,719
Speaker 1: link to Epstein's work Your Way on this very medium.

1880
01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:13,719
Speaker 1: I'd be honored to help you spot emerging topics. I again,

1881
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 1: I do not know what was on Glenn's show today

1882
01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:18,240
Speaker 1: because I had to do rising this morning, as I

1883
01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:22,960
Speaker 1: do every morning, but I will check it out, Missy.

1884
01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:25,680
Speaker 1: Sure to miss you. I always enjoy the fill in,

1885
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:28,360
Speaker 1: but good to have you back. Things are crazier than

1886
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 1: I could ever have imagined. I'm so thankful for you, Dan,

1887
01:48:31,200 --> 01:48:33,880
Speaker 1: Bongino and Hannity. The three of you have the tough

1888
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 1: job of keeping me focused and prepared. Thank you for

1889
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:41,360
Speaker 1: all of your hard work. Well, I'm in very excellent

1890
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:45,160
Speaker 1: and rarefied company there with Mr Bongino and Mr Hannity,

1891
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:48,240
Speaker 1: so thank you so much for that. And you know

1892
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:50,040
Speaker 1: I do miss you, guys. I missed doing the show

1893
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 1: whenever I'm out, although I do need to occasionally take

1894
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:56,839
Speaker 1: days away for vacation or to give speeches. That reminds

1895
01:48:56,840 --> 01:48:58,679
Speaker 1: me anybody out there, if you've got a big group

1896
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:01,559
Speaker 1: of conservatives you want me to come speak to people

1897
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:04,280
Speaker 1: have been able to make that happen just by sending

1898
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:06,679
Speaker 1: me the message on Facebook. So if you've got an idea,

1899
01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:09,800
Speaker 1: you got a venue in a place, reach out and

1900
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:12,719
Speaker 1: I'll put you in touch with my people, because apparently

1901
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:16,360
Speaker 1: I've got people now to do these things. Matthew rites Buck.

1902
01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 1: The Democrats seem to be very comfortable using the FBI

1903
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:22,120
Speaker 1: as a political weapon, so comfortable they have no shame

1904
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:25,520
Speaker 1: in asking them to investigate Kavanaugh's drinking habits on national television.

1905
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 1: Sincerely from your West Coast birthday brother, Shield Hie. Well,

1906
01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:32,799
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Matthew. I didn't know it was your birthday.

1907
01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:34,519
Speaker 1: Glad to know. I hope you had a great one.

1908
01:49:35,200 --> 01:49:38,880
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, Yes, the Democrats, it is true.

1909
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:42,080
Speaker 1: They do not seem to have any problem weaponizing any

1910
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 1: aspect of the government that has real power and authority,

1911
01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 1: and certainly the FBI is a favorite for them. Scott writes, Uh, hey, Buck,

1912
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:53,880
Speaker 1: here's something I'd like to share. I don't have a

1913
01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:55,800
Speaker 1: ten thousands of your reach, but I posted on my

1914
01:49:55,880 --> 01:50:00,280
Speaker 1: Facebook and it's observations about Sharia law. Uh, thank you

1915
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:02,479
Speaker 1: for sending it. I'll take a look when I can.

1916
01:50:02,680 --> 01:50:05,519
Speaker 1: Allen writes, Buck, glad you're back on the air. Hope

1917
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 1: the Stansbury conference went well. Looks like the Democrats lost

1918
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:11,040
Speaker 1: around this time, But I wonder if they will try

1919
01:50:11,040 --> 01:50:13,800
Speaker 1: to impeach Judge k if they win the House, or

1920
01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:16,160
Speaker 1: would they be afraid of it backfiring on them, especially

1921
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:21,000
Speaker 1: af Ford. Story starts to unravel. What say you, I

1922
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:24,880
Speaker 1: I think that they are gonna probably try to create

1923
01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:29,160
Speaker 1: some kind of a hubbub around Kavanaugh, although let me

1924
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:31,360
Speaker 1: let me rethink that for a moment, because this Cavana

1925
01:50:31,439 --> 01:50:33,599
Speaker 1: thing is blowing back on Democrats. They're hoping to move

1926
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:36,640
Speaker 1: past this moment because it does not look good for them,

1927
01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 1: and you're seeing this in the polls, and Democrats are

1928
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:42,599
Speaker 1: hoping that there's not a greater awareness of just how

1929
01:50:42,680 --> 01:50:47,120
Speaker 1: much of an effect the whole backlash against the Kavanaugh hit.

1930
01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:50,719
Speaker 1: They thought it would be a backlash against Kavanaugh getting

1931
01:50:50,760 --> 01:50:53,400
Speaker 1: on the court, but we're actually seeing is a backlash

1932
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:57,960
Speaker 1: against the hit on Kavanaugh, and that could be a

1933
01:50:58,200 --> 01:51:00,559
Speaker 1: game changer in this midterm. We'll see, as I've been saying,

1934
01:51:00,600 --> 01:51:03,640
Speaker 1: it might be the Kavanaugh election team. Tomorrow. I'll have

1935
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:06,160
Speaker 1: a freestyle Friday. I'm excited too. I'll be back with

1936
01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:09,640
Speaker 1: you then until next time, Shields High
