1
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Mr garbutsch Off, tear down this wall. Either you're with

2
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: us or you were with the terrorists. If you got

3
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you

4
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: are satisfied with is not when the President of the

5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: United States take it to a bank. Together, we will

6
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: make America great again. You'll never sharender. It's what you've

7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: been waiting for all day. The Buck Sexton Show. Join

8
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,680

Speaker 1: nine hundred Buck. That's eight four four nine hundred to

10

Speaker 1: eight to five The future of talk radio. Buck Sexton,

11
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: My friends and I stared down the barrel of an

12
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: Air fifteen the way you have not. We have seen

13
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: this weapon of war mow down people we know and

14
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: love the way you have not. How dare you tell

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: us we don't know what we're talking about. Never again

16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: should a student be silent, fight unshot. Never again should

17
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: anyone fear going to school. The time for change wasn't now.

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: The time for change was years ago. Are you for

19
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: taking steps to save us? Or are you for taking

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: n r A blood money? We are not letting the

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: United States be run by that terrorist organization. Welcome to

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: Buck Sex and Show. Everybody you just heard of. There

23
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: a number of students getting together, Uh, students, teachers, coaches,

24
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: counselors getting together at schools across the country from what

25
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: I understand, but particularly those who were involved directly in

26
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: Florida speaking out there. There's now a broader movement to

27
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: involve other schools. There's talk about a a walkout, UM

28
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: that may maybe occurring. This is from this is expected

29
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: to be occurring perhaps later on. UM. You have students

30
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: that are gathering together saying that it's time to change

31
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: our gun laws. Will you address this a bit yesterday?

32
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: And there's something going on here, It's not normal to

33
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: expect that there would be so much vitriol. Let's understand this.

34
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: I get it. You have students that are traumatized. Specifically,

35
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: we're talking now about those who are actually at the

36
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: high school in Parkland when this mash shooting happen. And

37
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: I understand that there's psychological trauma to be dealt with,

38
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: that the community needs to come together, that these students

39
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: deserve our support. I think I hear that there's also

40
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: similar efforts to get students activated in their political activism

41
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: across the country. It makes me think, Okay, so this

42
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: is now turning into a movement, or they're trying to

43
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: turn it into a movement. M hmm. What is so

44
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: different about this time and this incident from others? I'm

45
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: asking the questions I don't necessarily have the answers. What

46
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: is it about this incident specifically that makes the students

47
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: that are speaking up and and being given considerable air

48
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: time by the national news media. What is it that

49
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: makes them so angry, specifically towards the n r A.

50
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: The n r A is the focus of so much

51
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: of the anger here, the National Rifle Association. I remember

52
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: being a high school student and I would not have

53
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: pretended to know much at all about the n r

54
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: A or what it does. Um. We're also seeing a

55
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: very clear effort in the media to create an in

56
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: vulnerability for the speech of students that were either at

57
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: that school or just now. Any student who comes forward

58
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: and wants to speak on behalf of those students, he's

59
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: also going to be given this the same invulnerability for

60
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: their comments and statements. It doesn't have to be accurate,

61
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be true, doesn't have to make sense

62
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: because it comes from a place of victimhood, because they've

63
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: been victimized because a group of students were murdered in

64
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: cold blood by a psychopath. And I haven't really heard

65
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: enough of that word used, and I think I'd like

66
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: to return later in the show into why I use

67
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: it and what some of the real implications are for

68
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: our understanding of this mass slaughter. When we use terms

69
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: like psychopaths, we should also use terms like evil and

70
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: understand how it applies in this case. I don't mean

71
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: in a general sense. I mean in as scientific a

72
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: way as possible, evil as a term used by the

73
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: those who spend their lives trying to understand the psychological

74
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: processes of the brain, can't come up with a coherent

75
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: or rational explanation for why an individual acts the way

76
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: he or she does, and is left with nothing more

77
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: on a clinical level. Then the diagnosis a diagnosis of

78
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 1: evil that I think is far and away the most

79
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: accurate description of Nicholas Cruz and what occurred on that day,

80
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: And I can return to more specificity on that in

81
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: a moment. But the the I or the fury of

82
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: these students is directed towards the National Rifle Association as

83
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: the bad guy here. The National Rifle Association that the

84
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: students are young, that they can't vote, that they don't

85
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: have a background, or even a baseline. For get about

86
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: a background, No one to expect you have to have

87
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: a PhD and gun studies to have an opinion here.

88
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: But it is usually a necessity and a national level

89
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: policy discussion to have a baseline of knowledge about the issue.

90
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: Right if I were running around and I were sixteen

91
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: years old, and I said that I wanted us to

92
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: have a much lower tax rate, and somebody asked me, well,

93
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: do you know what the top tax rate is right now?

94
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: And I said, I have no idea. People would be

95
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: less likely to take my policy proposal seriously in this

96
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: instant instance, though, because they have suffered a tragedy, or

97
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: because a community a school has suffered a tragedy, we

98
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: are to listen without responding. And that's actually not how

99
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: policy discussion works. It's not how the First Amendment worked,

100
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: It's not how we could arrive at any constructive solutions

101
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: to this problem. Nobody really wants to be lectured by

102
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: a group of kids that seem very angry at an

103
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: organization that has nothing to do with what just happened.

104
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: It is not the fault of the n r A.

105
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: I would note that if you're going to blame the

106
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: n r A, you might as well blame the manufacture

107
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: of the rifle and claim that they are the ones

108
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: responsible for this. The seller of the gun, even though

109
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: he did it completely legally, he must be responsible for this.

110
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: The person that manufactured the rounds, use the actual ammunition,

111
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: they're they're responsible for this. No, no no, no, no. You

112
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: cannot erode moral culpability here in the name of some

113
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: political agenda. The only person responsible for the heinous acts

114
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: in Florida last week is Nicholas Cruz. There are people

115
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: who could have done more to stop it. There is

116
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: certainly a discussion that we are having now about what

117
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: should have been done to stop it. But I'm not

118
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of reasonable, good faith discussion in the

119
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: national media about what should result from this in terms

120
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: of law changes to law. Now, what I'm seeing is

121
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: the vilification of an organization that just represents law abiding

122
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: gun owners, of whom there are, as you know, tens

123
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: of millions, let's say, roughly sixty million in the country.

124
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: It's a pretty fair estament. Over three d million firearms

125
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: in private hands in the United States is also the estimate,

126
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: you got sixty million people, You've got a handful of

127
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: terrible school shootings. It seems to me like we're now

128
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: supposed to just sit back and allow the left because

129
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: we know that there is a hand behind this. We

130
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: know that the media is part of this construct and

131
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: part of this narrative that asked dispersions to cast blamee

132
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: on sixty million long binding gun owners here and much

133
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: of the intelligentsias such as it is, and the left

134
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: is coming out with the same stuff they've said in

135
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: the past. It was wrong then, it's wrong now. But

136
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: they think that by emotionalizing the moment, by making this

137
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: a time of emotional blackmail, listen to the sobbing children

138
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: on this policy issue, or else you're a bad person,

139
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: then the ideas and arguments that have failed in the

140
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: past will get through because we'll all be scared because

141
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: we don't want to be bad people, because we are caring,

142
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: because we are considerate, because we do want our kids

143
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: to be safe. We want all kids to be safe.

144
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: Notice how the issue somehow becomes a separation between those

145
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: who want to stop child uh stop the shootings in school,

146
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: school shootings and those who don't There's no such thing

147
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: as a constituency that doesn't want to stop school shootings.

148
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: So why is that the tone that this takes almost

149
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: automatically after one of these events. After one of these instances,

150
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: we're hearing that students are planning more protests and walkouts

151
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: from class. Well, I'd like to know what the specific

152
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: demands are here, But I would also note that this

153
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: is not how policy is made. Yeah, that they are

154
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: allowed to raise whatever objections they want, right, they have

155
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: first moment rights to we we know this, But what

156
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: the media is doing is very underhanded and what many

157
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: of the supporters of the narrative that's being presented, which

158
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: is that the n r A is the problem here.

159
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: Forget about dealing with mental health, forget about background, forget

160
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: about all that the n r A is the problem.

161
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: They want to they want to take down and take

162
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: a part of the National Rifle Association. And there's just

163
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: no way that there aren't elements of the left, adults

164
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: with money and funding and connections who are tied into this.

165
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: I just don't see how it. At a minimum, you've

166
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: got the major broadcast networks other than Fox that are

167
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: just running with this as though they are a political

168
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: action committee, CNN, MSNBC another. So right then and there,

169
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: I can tell you that they're giving a lot more

170
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: airtime to young people on this issue than they would

171
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: young people on other issues. As I said, you do

172
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: not tend to hear a lot of interviews of the

173
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: families of those killed by illegal aliens in this country

174
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: on CNN. CNN anchors do not ask the children of

175
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: those killed by illegal aliens on TV as they are crying,

176
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: what do you think about illegally? Should we have fewer

177
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: illegal aliens in the country? Crying child who lost his

178
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: dad to a drunk driver, a legal alien who has

179
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: been deported you know, fifteen times or whatever the number is. No,

180
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: they don't do that because they're forming narratives, and they

181
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: don't like that one, this one. They like the notion

182
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: that the n RA is behind a mass slaughter of

183
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: children at a school of school shooting. It is deceptive,

184
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: it's disgusting, it's unfair, and yet that's the plan. They

185
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: figure that if they are able to create an environment

186
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: of fear, then the arguments don't really matter anymore. This

187
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: is where the Left actually excels at promoting a a

188
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: an approach to an issue, a feeling, a sensibility around it,

189
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: where it's not about the specific issues or the arguments,

190
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: it's just about, Oh, I don't want to be I

191
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: don't want to be on the wrong side of that.

192
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: To bar from Obama, you don't want to be on

193
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: the wrong side of history, as he used to constantly say. So,

194
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, we're seeing the first breaches

195
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: in the wall. We're seeing the breaks in the day.

196
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: You're seeing people that are saying, hold on, maybe you know, okay, fine,

197
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: this time we will do something. The administration sounds like

198
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: they're they're going to do something. Is it because we

199
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: have come up with new ideas? Maybe there are some

200
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: that I haven't really heard much of before, and we'll

201
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: talk about them. But is it really just another instance

202
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: of the left creating an environment of moral blackmail. You

203
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: better be with us on this, you better do what

204
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: we say on this issue, or you're a bad person,

205
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: or you don't care about children getting shot. That is

206
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: the underlying message of the left right now. And whether

207
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: you know or not that their policy are that the

208
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: an assault rifle band or background check expanse or any

209
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: of this is useless. Is irrelevant because you don't want

210
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: to be a bad person. You don't want to be

211
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of history. This is what they're

212
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: trying to do right now. They've tried it in the past.

213
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: It has failed, will it fail this time on the

214
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: issue of guns. It's worked on other things. You look

215
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: at the context for discussion of any number of issues.

216
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at what the left did by

217
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: weaponizing discussions of race and racism for political per is

218
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: over the course of decades, very effective for them. It

219
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: finally started to they finally kind of overplayed their hand

220
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: in the last you could argue ten or fifteen years

221
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: maybe where it didn't have the same accusations of racism,

222
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: didn't have the same punch as they used to. Now

223
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: there are other things that are career enders for people

224
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: that are just weaponized politics, right, accusations in place of argument.

225
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: They're trying to do that on guns right now. It's

226
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: not about having a an exchange of ideas about a

227
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: second amendment about the right to bear arms. No, it's

228
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: are you a good person or do you want do

229
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: you want children to not be shot in school? Yes

230
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: or no? If the answer is yes, you don't want

231
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: the new shot in school. Then you have to do.

232
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: Then you have to give the left it's gun control agenda.

233
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: You have to cave. You have to give in no

234
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: questions asked, Well, I'm not I'm not playing that game.

235
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going along with that. I want policy that's

236
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: based on reason and argument and sound logic. And no,

237
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be cowed into silence because people

238
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: have suffered a personal tragedy or we're near a tragedy

239
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: in the case of many of these students, that that

240
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: gives you sympathy. It does not give you a greater

241
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: understanding and wisdom about national level policy than other people.

242
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: It just doesn't. And I think the media is shameless

243
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: exploitation of tragedy involving miners, tragedy involving children. Here is

244
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: just yet another reason why we should we should always

245
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: maintain a healthy disrespect and disdain for the mainstream media.

246
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: I'll be uh, I want to know what you think

247
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: about all this. We're gonna get into the specifics that

248
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: are out there. Eight four four eight to five eight

249
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: four four buck bump stock band, what do you think

250
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: a R fifteen band? If you're under third, what do

251
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: you think improving background checks, whatever that means. You know,

252
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: we can go down this whole list. We'll talk about

253
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: some of them. I want to know what you think

254
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: as well, so light up the lines will be right back.

255
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: I was talking about how we should have not ostracized him.

256
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: You didn't know this case, Okay, we did. We know

257
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: that they're baby, that they are mental health issues. And

258
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: I am not a psychologist, but we need to pay

259
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: attention to the fact that this isn't just a mental

260
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: health issue. About we stopped blaming the victims for something

261
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: that was the shooter's fault. I don't think anyone's blaming

262
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: the victims. I don't really know what that young woman

263
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: who's been given a national media platform is referring to.

264
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: But you'll notice from the tone of some of the

265
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: students that they are angry and they are expressing. Some

266
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: of them the ones that I'm seeing that are getting airtime.

267
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: I remember. This reminds me of after nine eleven. A

268
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: lot of people that we're affected by nine eleven. I

269
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: remember being at school finding out whether I was in college,

270
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: finding out whether or not my uncle made it out

271
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: of one of the towers. I didn't know for the

272
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: first few hours a friend of mine, a young woman

273
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: I had known since I was in the fourth grade,

274
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: found out that day that her sister died. And I

275
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: was there at the school, you know, when when the

276
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: news came down. Um, But I also remember that there

277
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: were people who decided that it was time to start

278
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: cutting campaign commercials for the Democrat Party and for John

279
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: Kerry and saying, you know, see, it was Bush's fault.

280
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: And then when you'd say, well hold on a second,

281
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: well hold on whoa, It's like, oh, how dare you?

282
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: You know, they remember that the whole And I'll due

283
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: credit to Ann Coulter for being the one who's willing

284
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: to say hold on, these these aren't v nine eleven widows.

285
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: These are four widows of nine eleven. There's a lot

286
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: of other a lot of other widows and widowers and

287
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, children lost their parents. It's you know, we're

288
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: not hearing from them, We're just hearing from the four

289
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: and the representative of the whole group. Always be careful

290
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: about this. You know, media is very slippery on this

291
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: issue when it comes to exploiting tragedy for political ends.

292
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: There are the producers and the bookers on these shows

293
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: at CNN MSNBC. They are making decisions based upon who's

294
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: going to give them the most anti Trump, anti n

295
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: R A shout fast, so then they're sanctimonious, ignorant anchors

296
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: can go, oh will you don't feel like the children's

297
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: tragedy deserves to be heard? And the whole thing, we

298
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: know how the game is played, we know how they're

299
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: doing this, and this is what they're up to. By

300
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: the way, I mentioned before they I stumbled for a

301
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: second because I want to make sure I had the

302
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: right date. And seeing there's a plan, there are plans

303
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: going forward for a major march akin to in terms

304
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: of size, the Women's March. It will be an anti

305
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: uh anti gun march. I don't know what if they

306
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: have an official name yet, a gun control legislation March

307
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: or you know whatever they're gonna call it for march,

308
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: a march on March. And there are others as well,

309
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: And they've got tens of thousand people signing petitions and

310
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: this is now becoming a point of political mobilization and

311
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: action for the Democrat left. You're also seeing stuff like

312
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: a billboard in Louisville, Kentucky that somebody vandalized with huge

313
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: writing it says kill the n r A. So there's

314
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: something wrong here, my friends. We are going to dig

315
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: into it together and we'll talk more about what's happening.

316
00:19:45,720 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: Right after this break. He's holding the line for America.

317
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton is back, and I think that it's really

318
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: important that we come together now since adults are not

319
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: doing it for us. I remember the first time I

320
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: heard about Sandy Hook. I remember talking about Virginia attacks.

321
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: That will be different because the people who are deeply

322
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: affected by the shooting, the people who saw it, are

323
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: the people speaking out. Because we keep telling them that

324
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: if they accept this blood money there against the children,

325
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: they say, that's topper. Gun laws do not decrease gun violence.

326
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: We call we could just play all day news clips

327
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: of teenagers, kids who are telling us what gun control

328
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: policy should be, saying things about gun laws that are

329
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: not true. I couldn't believe yes or seeing at CBS

330
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: left up the tweet about how it's easier to get

331
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: an a R fifteen than to buy cold medicine. That's

332
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: not just fake news, it's malicious news. They're really trying

333
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: to turn up the heat on this problem, turn up

334
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: the heat on the debate make this nasty, Make it

335
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: not a problem that we have to solve as a country,

336
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: as a as a nation. Make it a US versus them.

337
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: You heard it, and that young woman she said, you know,

338
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: it's either you're with the children or you're against them.

339
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: With them or against them. This is a this is

340
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: a repeat. You'll hear more and more of that. You

341
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: either want to stop child murder in school or you don't,

342
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: That's what they'll say. But there's no one who wants

343
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: kids to get shot in school, no one. So what

344
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: are they talking about? Why do they have to be

345
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: so inflammatory? Here's something to keep in mind, my friends,

346
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: as we go forward and continue to cover this. How

347
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: is it that the passions on this issue are even

348
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: more elevated right now with greater distance from the actual

349
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: event than they were in the first forty eight hours.

350
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: Why are the kids that are speaking about this becoming

351
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: more aggressive? Why are we seeing signs kill the n

352
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: r A in Louisville Now? Why are we hearing these

353
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: refrains like you're with the children or you're against them.

354
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: You either want to stop child murder in school or

355
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: you don't. Now days after the event, I just think

356
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: it stands to reason that if this were based on

357
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: the emotions of the moment, you would hear the most

358
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: over the top inflammatory rhetoric and these accusations at the

359
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: n r A. You'd hear it more in the beginning,

360
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: and then it would turn into a policy debate. But no,

361
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: actually you're hearing this stuff now. It's getting worse. The anger,

362
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: the rage from one side of the political spectrum to

363
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: the other over guns is escalating as we have distance

364
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: from the event. That doesn't make sense, doesn't make sense

365
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: unless unless there is a guiding hand behind this, unless

366
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: there's more going on here than just spontaneous student protests

367
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: over gun control and gun violence. I'm not saying that

368
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: these kids don't believe it. I'm sure they do. But

369
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: then again, there's a reason why we don't let sixteen

370
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: year olds vote on national policy issues. There's a reason

371
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: why they don't get to pick our representatives, and there

372
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: there's a basis for all of that. You know, the voting.

373
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: It should be sixteen, maybe it should be twelve. Do

374
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: we have five year old voting? We have journalists who

375
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: seemed to think that it was respectable and responsible to

376
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: use their children as props as anti Trump attacked vessels.

377
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: You know, my daughter came up to me and said,

378
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: why does Donald Trump hate women? Mommy? And she's only three.

379
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that your daughter said that at three,

380
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: but a lot of journalists were doing that. Those of

381
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: you who are paying close attention to the the commentary

382
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: at during the election, we'll remember that was a trend

383
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: for a while. There's a trend going on here, but

384
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: it seems that it's getting angrier as we get further

385
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: from the event. And I don't believe it's because of inaction.

386
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: In fact, I think that the Trump administration has shown

387
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: I know they have shown quite a willingness to discuss

388
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: these issues and look at them. Here's the President himself.

389
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: Safety is a top priority for my administration. That is

390
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: why when governors from across the nation visit the White

391
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: House next week, we will be discussing at great length

392
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: what the federal and state governments can do to keep

393
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: our students safe. This includes implementing common sense security measures

394
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: and addressing mental health issues, including better coordination between federal

395
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: and state law enforcement to take swift action and when

396
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: there are warning signs. President is taking this issue very seriously.

397
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: He's listening to what's being said. He's going over the

398
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: proposals that are out there now. He says, state and

399
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: federal and local, we're working on it. We are. He's

400
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: not saying there's nothing. I'm not going to hear it.

401
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: Everything is fine. And yet you turn on the news

402
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: and you'll hear students who are being elevated into the

403
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: national discussion, who are saying stuff like to the president.

404
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: And I think that it's really important that we come

405
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: to the president. The ball is in your cordinal. You

406
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: are either with us or you are against us. If

407
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: you are against us, then that means you are signing

408
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: our death certificates. You are letting more children die every day.

409
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: There is no middle ground here. You are either with

410
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: us and helping children survive, helping children feel safe to

411
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: go to school, or you are against us. We are

412
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: very confident because unlike every other you get the idea

413
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: that was a seventeen year old. Mr. President. You're with us,

414
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: you're against you, you're signing children's debt certificates. If you

415
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: don't ban a R fifteen, that's really that's what we're

416
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: supposed to take away from this. That's quite a lot

417
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: of culpability, A lot of blame that's put on the

418
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: president for something that he has nothing to do with.

419
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: Keep in mind that Congress would have to pass the

420
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: legislation first, and yet it's all put at the feet

421
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: of Trump. You see, this is what's really happening here. Everyone.

422
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: Do we think that there would be quite the same tone,

423
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: quite the same approach if you had a Democrat president? Now,

424
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: of course not. This issue of guns is now being

425
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: tied into the issue of hashtag resistance. Gun control is

426
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: now being hijacked by the left, by the institutional left,

427
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: the money, the movers and shakers, the sauros Is, the MSNBC's,

428
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: the CNNs, and the rest of them, in order to

429
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: mobilize progressive elements of our society against the Trump administration.

430
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: In yet another way, it's yet another front of the

431
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: never Trump, anti Trump war. It immediately becomes about the president.

432
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: And that's why there's so much fury behind this movement

433
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: and this effort right now. That's what's different from the

434
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: school shooting versus other school shootings. And and you have

435
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: a president who's willing to say, we should actually address

436
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: this in whatever way we can, let's talk about it,

437
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: and they're saying Oh no, you're the blood is on

438
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: the president's hands. There's a particular anger right now. There's

439
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: a particular rage about gun control because Donald Trump is president.

440
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: That's what's going on here in the background. I'm not

441
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: saying that that's what's got all these students fired up.

442
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: Some of them or I'm sure being told things by adults.

443
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: Others are being are being encouraged to whatever their initial

444
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: impulse is about this, and a lot of them are

445
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: I'm sure the ones from the school. Keep in mind,

446
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about in general, because this is now a movement.

447
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: This is beyond the school. So now we've gotta listen

448
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: to kids that are marching that didn't even go to

449
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: the school. Now, all kids have a special say in this,

450
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: as long as they're pro gun control. They're not just

451
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: mobilizing for the school, They're mobilizing for all schools. This

452
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: is now going to turn into a student movement of sorts. Ah.

453
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: Now it all starts to fit together, doesn't it. It's

454
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: about a whole lot more than one school shooting and

455
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: the government's response to it. You are seeing the apparatus

456
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: of the left in action and mobilizing through the exploitation

457
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: of a terrible event in which seventeen young people were

458
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: murdered in school by a classmate who was a psychopath,

459
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: who was evil. And yet I'm hearing so much about

460
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: how the n r A is murder. The n r

461
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: A is guilty of murder. Trump is going to have

462
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: blood in his hands if he doesn't do what the

463
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: kids are demanding. This is not how sound policy has

464
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: made and this is not how adults have discussions. It's

465
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: how the left wants the discussion to go though, and

466
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: we will see more and more of their fingerprints all

467
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: over this. Keep in mind as we go along here,

468
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: as we expose what's really happening, they will say the

469
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: nastiest things. They'll say that you are either with the

470
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: children or against them. You either want to stop child

471
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: murder or you don't care. You're complicit in child murder

472
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: if you don't do what they say. I mean, this

473
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: is ideological hostage taking. It's a disgrace, and it's really

474
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: what's going on. All right, I want to hear from

475
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: you eight four four, eight to five. We will take

476
00:29:49,240 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: some calls right after this break. All right, every single

477
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: line is lit here in the Freedom Hut. So let's

478
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: rack and stack and take some calls. But first I

479
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: just wanted to note that I got a piece of

480
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: information from one of our own here in the hut. Brandon,

481
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: who's running the board today, told me something, just to

482
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: give you a sense of how far and wide the

483
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: tentacles of a tragedy like this go, Brandon, tell him,

484
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: tell them what you told me. I unfortunately know one

485
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: of the teachers that was killed in the in the shooting.

486
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: When the name started to come out, Um, I hadn't

487
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: spoken to Scott Beagle since high school. Went to high

488
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: school with him, Long Island, dix Hills High School, Half

489
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: holl Hills High School, East Long Name. Uh, so he

490
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: was your classmate. He was my classmate plenty classes. I

491
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: hadn't spoken to him since, so, I mean, it's an acquaintment.

492
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: He was your high school class man and he but

493
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: I remember him being such a sweet and nice kid.

494
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: So I remember as soon as I saw his face

495
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: and name, I know that I know. And he was

496
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: one of the He was one of the heroes of

497
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: the incident, right. He was one of the ones who

498
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: ran to open the door to to save some kids.

499
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: He was the geology teacher who opened his unlocked door

500
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: to let more students in, and before he can relock it,

501
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: that's when he got shot. And they're saying that his

502
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: body blocked the door from more casualties. So he's a hero,

503
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't know if you want me to say.

504
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: His wife apparently gave a little brief statement because Scott jokingly,

505
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: I guess, said something that if he was ever killed

506
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: in any of these situations, so by the quote, you'll

507
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: he never believed that would have happened. Promise me, if

508
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: this ever happens to me, you will tell them the truth,

509
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: tell them what a jerk I am, and don't talk

510
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: about the hero stuff. So of course his wife, he

511
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: was saying that as a joke to his wife, thinking

512
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: that this would never happen to him. So when his

513
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: wife spoke, she still read that she did. Yes, yes,

514
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: all right, Brandon, thank you for sharing that that you

515
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: know that personal connection with all this. All right, let's

516
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: get into your call, folks. We've got every line lit,

517
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: like I said, so we got a lot to go

518
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: to here. Vincent in Greensboro, North Carolina, Hey, Vincent, Hi, Bud,

519
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear, but loss of his friend there,

520
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: that's Uh, horrible to hear. Um. I just couldn't help.

521
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: But I've been listening to this topic now for days

522
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: on just about every radio show there is, and I

523
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: don't remember any time where somebody screamed and yelled for

524
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: what they wanted when they were a kid, and they

525
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: just got what they wanted because they demanded it. Um.

526
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: But I feel like this's just a program because these protesters,

527
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: like a lot of the protesters we've seen in the

528
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: last couple of years, to me, just looked like bankrolled

529
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: protesters that really are uh dupes. Uh, they're pretty much

530
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: A lot of them will say whatever they're told, maybe

531
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: some of them believe it. Do you think some of

532
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: this anti gun stuff, whether a current or what we're

533
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: going to see, is AstroTurf. It's not. This is not

534
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: the grassroots exactly, because I don't I don't remember meeting

535
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: too many people who agree with that. Somebody you say, oh, well, yeah,

536
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: there's guns are dangerous, blah blah blah, but a lot

537
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: of people will never flat out say there they want

538
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: to give up their their firearms. It is a god

539
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: given right to hone one uh not just because it's

540
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: written down in the Constitution. Of the Bill of Rights,

541
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: and uh, uh, well, Vincent, I appreciate you sharing thoughts

542
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: and thank you for calling in, Sir, Shields High. Let's

Speaker 1: he defeated thirty men by so um taking the swords

555
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: away from Japan. Uh. During the that time, spawn ningas

556
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: and so the assassination was ran rapid. And to get

557
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: to the last bit about Japan, Tojo said, Uh, the

558
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,640

Speaker 1: calling it from North Carolina, Man Shields. Hi John, and

00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: also Greensboro, North Carolina. Hey John, how are you doing, Buck,

563
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm good. Thank you for a call that was calling

564
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: about the gun control also, yeah, of course, man, that's

565
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 1: the that's the issue. Do your issue of the hour,

566
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: go for it. We all need to hear the word control,

567
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: because that's what it's all about. We never hear all

568
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: of this left is crying when any other person, child,

569
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: adult is killed any other way. We just had a

570
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: child killed by a drunk illegal alien last week, and

571
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: we're to sail in North Carolina. I'm still waiting for

572
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: a politician to cry over that child. John. I'm just

573
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess you haven't seen anyone, anyone in the

574
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: family of that child killed interviewed on CNN and a

575
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: national news broadcast on the issue of legal aliens. Yeah,

576
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: no alcohol band, no eagle alien band, no, no, no

577
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: kind of band, and no tears. Yeah. I mean the

578
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: politicization of this, of this by the left, I mean,

579
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: to use child victims in a sense as as issues

580
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: or as as politicized policy weapons. It's just so tasteless.

581
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: But that's what they're doing exactly. And then the other

582
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: thing is, let's talk about making the school safety. I

583
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: have to barcode with my fingerprints in and out of

584
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: work every time I go into parking lot. If I

585
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: go into where our truck drivers come like to use

586
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: the restroom, I got a barcode to get back in

587
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: the building. It works fine. Oh, we got about six

588
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: hundred people working here Tilton the times a day. It works,

589
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: in and out, in and out, in and out. And

590
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 1: then we could have some the concealed carry holders taking

591
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: additional course and carry the faculty carry on campus. And

592
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: I would also add, you know, if you get to

593
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: concealed carry older's you also got have people, you know,

594
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: it could be kind of a package training we do

595
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: individuals that also understand more about de escalating physical confrontations.

596
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: In general, you get more teachers that are also trained

597
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: as first responders. I mean, I I think I think

598
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of ways that we could consider

599
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: trying to make school look. Schools among the softest of

600
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: soft targets, right, They're they're wide open generally speaking to

601
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: the to the public. Uh, you've got you know, kids

602
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: that can't defend themselves. Especially you're talking about an armed

603
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: to sound active shooter situation. So yeah, I think it

604
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to talk about, especially in

605
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: areas where you think that. I mean, look, this isn't

606
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: just this isn't a school with with thirty students. There

607
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: is a school with almost three thousand, right, I mean

608
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: this is a really big institution and one armed guard

609
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: on the premises one for three thousand. My college had

610
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred students, had its own police department, if we

611
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: want to go, had its own on campus, and they

612
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: were all armed officers and they were all deputized under

613
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: Massachusetts state law. Uh, they were armed. And I think

614
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: we had for a campus of sixteen hundred six officers

615
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: on any given time, you know. So they just by

616
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: way of comparison, they got three thousand kids and they

617
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: only had one one officer. And John, thank you for

618
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: calling in from Greensborough. H one more Kenny and Boston Kenny.

619
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: We got about a minute, but I want to get

620
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: you in before we get going with some other stuff.

621
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: You're go ahead, right, how you doing? Um? I'm seeing

622
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: a parallel being revealed between this Sparkland gun control movement

623
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: and the Me Too movement in the sense that they

624
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: both have a they want to call this non political

625
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: and then engage in politics, and then they want to

626
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: forbid any questioning or uh, going after the victims at

627
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: all in any you know anything. You have to just

628
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: listen to them and were they wanted as as a

629
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: with a me too movement, and accusation becomes tantamount to

630
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: a conviction. And all of that shows me that I

631
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: think that's all that's the Me too movement is largely

632
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: being orchestrated by the left. Yeah, I see the parallel

633
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: to Kenny. It's in a student observation. Thank you very

634
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 1: much for calling him my friend. We gotta roll into

635
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: a break coming up here. I know today was Tuesday,

636
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: but I kind of had a case of the Mondays.

637
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: I didn't really sleep that well last night. It just

638
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: felt like how many get my day started at? So

639
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: much work to do? Oh that's right, I got a

640
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: whole cupboard full of Black Rifle coffee. Black Rifle is

00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: So I'm hitting Black Rifle twice. You could say I'm

Speaker 1: you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth,

657
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: the fuck never stops. After the deadly shooting in Las Vegas,

658
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: I directed Attorney General to clarify wha there's certain bub

659
00:39:55,520 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 1: stock devices like the one used in Las Vegas are

660
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: illegal undercurrent law. That process began in December, and just

661
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: a few moments ago I signed a memorandum directing the

662
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: Attorney General to propose regulations to ban all devices that

663
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: turn legal weapons into machine guns. Welcome back to the

664
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: buck Sex and show everybody. In the last hour, we

665
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: talked about the student protests and the growing movement to

666
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: call for gun control in the aftermath of the park Land,

667
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: Florida school shooting. And now we just had President Trump

668
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: talking today about what he's willing to do in response,

669
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: or what he's willing to consider. At least we are

670
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: looking at, or I should say, the federal government is

671
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: now looking at the issue of an a R fifteen ban,

672
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: which I don't think we'll ever go through. UM. Today,

673
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: in fact, the Florida state legislature voted out a proposal

674
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: to ban a OUR fifteens, and sure enough the media

675
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: was there and taking photos of children from the Parkland

676
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: High School that were in attendance. Douglas, I forget the

677
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: school where the shooting occurred. Marjorie Stoneman. Douglas and the

678
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,240
Speaker 1: kids were very upset about the bill not going through.

679
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: But this is the process now we have. This is

680
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: the way laws are actually made. It is not based

681
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: upon whoever has the most passion in the moment. It

682
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: is based upon a yeah, democratic legislator, democratically elected legislature

683
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: taking action or not. So they did not pass an

684
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: air fifteen band in Florida. They're now turning to state

685
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: and they say local bands if they can't get a

686
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: federal band. This is also what brings me to the

687
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: There are very well connected and financed adults who are

688
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: pushing this agenda and using children as props to get

689
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: what they want. That has happening right now. There is

690
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: no way that all of a sudden, here we are,

691
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: days after the event. You have these policies that are

692
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: just agreed upon at the grassroots student level, that are

693
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden now mobilized and getting a lot

694
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: of national level press. Do we really think a lot

695
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: of high school kids generally know the difference between state

696
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: and local firearms laws and where the federal ban would

697
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: end and the local band would begin, etcetera, etcetera. I

698
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: don't think so. This is being fed to some students,

699
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: or rather the agenda is being promoted through students as

700
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: vessels for the message, because the students are not to

701
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: be contradicted publicly because they are victims. That's the game

702
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: that the Democrats play. It's disgraceful they are using traumatized

703
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: children as props in a political fight. But here we are.

704
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: That is what they are doing. You're also noticing that

705
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: many of the journalists out there that are pushing the

706
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: different politicians, Democrats, etcetera, that are pushing for action just

707
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: expose that they do not particularly view the Second Amendment

708
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 1: is really a part of the constitution. They just don't

709
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: think that that it counts the same way as other stuff.

710
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: And that's how you get people like uh Well as

711
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: a finance reporter, usually at CNBC, but he he has

712
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: an idea for how we could handle the gun problem.

713
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: The scariest part of these conversations with so many of

714
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: them said, you know what, I like the idea. There's

715
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: part of us that actually would like to do something

716
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: like this, but we are scared about two things. Part

717
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: of it is we're scared about the the economic potential

718
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: boycott that could happen, both from the n r A

719
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: and gun owners who say, you know what, if JP

720
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 1: Morgan does this, we're we're not going to use their cards.

721
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: The other thing that's even more nerve racking, though, is

722
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: a lot of them said, you know what, I don't

723
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: want to put my employees in harm's way. I actually

724
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: think that there could be an incident if we were

725
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: to do this. I don't want to bring attention out

726
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: to ourselves. And that's a very very scary thing, you know.

727
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: Now he was talking about banks not working with or

728
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: refusing to work with companies who sell guns, and as

729
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: if that's not enough, Keep in mind now that would

730
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: be imagine if if you had this with any other

731
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: constitutionally protected right, you know, using that you had that

732
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: kind of discrimination going on by major institutions that are

733
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: tremendously fed federally regulated. And don't even get me started

734
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: on it. Uh you know, where to banks and in

735
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: the and the federal government begin as a whole other question.

736
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: But also notice how it's not enough merely to just

737
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: say that he thinks that there would be issues with

738
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: a effectively a financial system boycott of firearms manufacturers and

739
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: gun sellers, cutting them off um the financial markets because

740
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: of their constitution constitutionally protected right to bear because people

741
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: want to bear arms, and because they to do so,

742
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: they need to be able to sell them. Look at this,

743
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: they want to regulate out of existence the Second Amendment.

744
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 1: We see them say this, we see this get support,

745
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: and then they turn and say, oh no, no no, we

746
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,479
Speaker 1: just want common sense. Remember that was the Obama line,

747
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: common sense gun reform. Then you say, well, it's not

748
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: common sense because it won't work. So that's nonsensical. What

749
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about doesn't make sense. Oh well, in that case,

750
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: you just want dead children. You're a bad person. Do

751
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: what I say, or else I'll tell everybody you just

752
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: don't care about dead children. That's that's the way the

753
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: Democrats are advancing the advancing the ball on this one

754
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: of my friends, that's what they are doing. And it

755
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: is very troubling, very troubling. Indeed, it's not going away

756
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: because this is now a movement. This is instead of

757
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: the Women's March, You're going to have the gun control March.

758
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: This will be the manifestation of the resistance hashtag resist

759
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: since anti Trump left, using children as the vanguard, so

760
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: that anyone who contradicts them on a policy level, who

761
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 1: makes the counter argument, I'm not saying to do it

762
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: in a mean way. I'm not saying call the kids.

763
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: You know you're I'm not gonna call. Remember, we're going

764
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: way beyond just the kids who are at the Marjorie

765
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: Douglas School. Now, now we're talking about just kids in

766
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: general at schools. They're gonna be organized for this purpose. Thousands,

767
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: perhaps tens of thousands of students across the country doing

768
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: walkouts and marches and rallies, but they're all going to

769
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: be put under this rubric of well, well, they're the

770
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: next victims unless we take action. Don't you want to

771
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: prevent them from being victims? Aren't you anti gun violence

772
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: in schools? Oh? I guess I am, Well, then you

773
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: better do what we say. Ban the a R fifteen

774
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: nationally banned the air fifteen at the state level, which

775
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: I would know other states have done. I live in

776
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: New York State. In fact, here, the way that it's

777
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 1: ended up being implemented they've created because they haven't been

778
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: semi on the rifles because they can't get that through.

779
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: So now you just have New York State compliant a

780
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: R variants, which if you've seen, are not particularly pleasing

781
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: to the eye, but function the same way in air

782
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: fifteen does just no collapsing stock, uh, no carrying handle.

783
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: I think maybe they mandated some changes to the real system.

784
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, but there's there's some a R compliant

785
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: New York State a R compliant guns that are being sold,

786
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: that have been sold, and in Connecticut they banned, They

787
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: banned air fifteen, said you have to turn them in.

788
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: They just went with confiscation, and it's estimated that there

789
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: are over a hundred thousand I think now technically illegal

790
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: a rs in the state of Connecticut, just because because

791
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: there's you know, the sheriffs aren't gonna go and kicking

792
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: indoors I guess and taking firearms from people that they

793
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: legally purchased and they're legally allowed to have a gun.

794
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: But in Connecticut they said, well, we're gonna you have

795
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 1: to turn it in now, and a lot of people

796
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: didn't turn the men. So there's that. Ah, this is

797
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: where this whole discussion is going. Just understand the politics

798
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: beyond it now. I know we've got a lot We

799
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: took some calls in the last hour on guns and

800
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: gun control and this issue. Um, we're going to continue

801
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: talking to this yere on the show. I don't want

802
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: to spend too much of our time tonight on this

803
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 1: because we're gonna be back on it tomorrow and this

804
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: is now front and center. It has replaced immigration. I

805
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: thought at this point in February, team we'll be talking

806
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: immigration immigration. Nope, we have moved to gun control now.

807
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: And so this will be a continuing theme here on

808
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: the show. So if you don't get a chance to

809
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: talk to us about it today, if you're calling in

810
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: or you've been waiting on hold, I know a lot

811
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: of you have. I promise there'll be lots of opportunities

812
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: going forward because this is now a focus of the

813
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: left and we have to engage on this to make

814
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: sure that bad policy does not result. Um. But coming

815
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: up in this hour, I just want to give you

816
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: a sense where we're going a little more on the

817
00:48:55,239 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: the Russian troll factory and what's real and it's not

818
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 1: with all that, and what's serious analysis and what's hysterical hyperbole.

819
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: Then we will talk about the latest casualty of the

820
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: Mueller investigation. A lawyer who had nothing to do with

821
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: anything but said the wrong thing to Mueller. Whoops. Now

822
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: he's facing federal felony. He's a citizen of the Netherlands.

823
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: By the way, I think this is interesting in the US.

824
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 1: US extends federal law to pretty much everybody it can

825
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: all over the world. It's it's an interesting thing. Um.

826
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: You know, this is where you start to see other

827
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 1: countries come on, right, But Us' is like Oh no,

828
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna this is when you start to make laws

829
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: about meddling and meddling elections and just wait till that

830
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:45,760
Speaker 1: blows back on us. Trust me. But this lawyer who

831
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: is now stand is taking a plea deal and also

832
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 1: one of Manaforts associates. So we've got some upbates in

833
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: mull investigation. But I think in some way his most

834
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: interesting coming up this hour and it will be later on.

835
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: We have a guest joining as a lawyer to talk

836
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 1: about uh. And I see now some of the networks

837
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: I had planned this interview all day. I see some

838
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: of the networks have actually run interviews on this in

839
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: the last hour or so. What if the fix was

840
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: in against General Flynn. What if they actually knew that

841
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: he wasn't intentionally lying or doing anything that was a crime,

842
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: but they decided that it was essential to get Flynn

843
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: in order to create the appearance of legitimacy for the

844
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: rest of the Muller probe of Trump's people and all

845
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: the rest of it. Right, what if they stacked the

846
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: deck to go after General Flynn. What if they were

847
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: going for his scalp and they cheated to do it.

848
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 1: I mean the prosecutors can't prove that yet, but there

849
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: is an argument that we may in fact find out

850
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: whether or not that happened, and there's some reason to

851
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: believe that it did. There's some reason to believe that

852
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: it did. We are going to look at that later

853
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: on in this hour because Flynn maybe withdrawing there's there's

854
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: some word out that Flynn maybe withdrawing his guilty plea.

855
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: Why would he do that? Well, there's a judge that's involved,

856
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: the very important judge, a judge who was one of

857
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: the few who has held the status and yes, even

858
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: the deep staters to account in the past, Judge Emmitt Sullivan.

859
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 1: He is saying that the FBI has to produce information

860
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: here about the Flynn guilty plea, all of the information.

861
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: Perhaps that will be very interesting because I have a

862
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: feeling and we will talk about why that this may

863
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: uncover that Flynn got the flip side of Hillary Clinton justice.

864
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: You see, with Hillary and her top aids, it was

865
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: how do we bend the law, how do we bend

866
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: over backwards to do everything we can to make sure

867
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: that there's zero legal jeopardy here. We have seen not

868
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: just the converse of that process, the the flip side

869
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: of that goin but with the same actors involved, Peter Struck,

870
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: James Comey, Deputy Director McKay, but the same people involved.

871
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: We see how they do the one trial or the

872
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: one case. We see how they do the other case.

873
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: You know which of these things is not like the other? Oh? Well,

874
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: one involves a Republican president. One involves the hope, the

875
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: singular hope of the Democrat Party, Hillary Clinton. Hmm. Looks

876
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,439
Speaker 1: like they were treated quite differently. We will get into

877
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: that later on this hour. You will definitely want to

878
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: hear that, and then we'll talk also about the some

879
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: of the specific gun policies. I haven't gone to yet.

880
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: I wanted to hold off because we've got Sean Davis

881
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: from the Federalist joining us in the third hour, and

882
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 1: then we'll just kind of freestyle it and talk about

883
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: whatever comes to mind. So a lot more coming with

884
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: all of that. First, let me tell you, my friends,

885
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: I take information security very seriously, and I also think

886
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: it's critical to have the best information you can at

887
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: all times. That's why I'm all about Global Verification Network.

888
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: They are a dual certified veteran owned background investigation and

889
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: vetting company, in fact, the only company of its kind

890
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: that qualifies in that way. They're veteran owned and operated.

896
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: any business transaction, you want to know who's on the

897
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: other side of that transaction. You want to know is

898
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: that someone you can trust? Is this somebody that you

Speaker 1: can exchange financial and commercial interests with? Global Verification Network

00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 1: can be the difference between between big success and failure

Speaker 1: on this one, my friends, check them out my g

902

Speaker 1: VN dot com, my g VN dot com or call

903
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 1: eight seven seven six nine five seven nine eight seven

904
00:53:54,360 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: seven six nine five one one seven nine. You can

905
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: imagine my surprise when you have so many in the

906
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: media and in the Democrat Party and even some Republicans,

907
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans actually, who are treating the indictment

908
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: of thirteen Russians tied to social media campaign a tiny

909
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: one in terms of the budget, an inconsequential one in

910
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: terms of what it did, and you can imagine my surprise. However,

911
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: when over at MSNBC I hear some analysis that is

912
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: actually quite sound, is actually right on the mark. Here's

913
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: what Adrian Chen, a journalist, had to say about what

914
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: went on with the whole Russia interference situation. Essentially, it's

915
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: so fial media marketing campaign with ninety people, a couple

916
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: of million dollars a few million dollars behind it, um,

917
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 1: run by people who have, you know, a bare grasp

918
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: of the English language and not a full understanding of

919
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: who they're targeting, what they're targeting. Um. I think if

920
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: you think about that in terms of just a normal

921
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,439
Speaker 1: marketing campaign, that's not going to be a very good

922
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 1: bang for your book. There's not a lot of people saying, well,

923
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: let's let's hold back. You know, maybe it's not all

924
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: of that big of a deal. Maybe it's not all

925
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: that big of a deal. You know. He makes some

926
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: really really worthwhile points in there too, about how it

927
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: is the case that people were able to tell generally

928
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: who these troll accounts were and what was going on

929
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: because in a lot of them the grasp of English

930
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: wasn't even very good. Well, voll Trump, he is best though,

931
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 1: love hug and kisses Kremlin. I mean, come on, it's

932
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: just wasn't going to be that effective no matter what.

933
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 1: It was minuscule when compared to the massive media echo

934
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: chambers on both sides when it comes to the election,

935
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,320
Speaker 1: it's just complete nonsense. But here we we got a

936
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: guy who's want to say, look at maybe people shouldn't

937
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: shouldn't just totally freak out about this, And yeah, that's

938
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: all I'm trying to say about this too. We shouldn't

939
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: freak out about It's not that big a deal. People

940
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: want to make it a big deal because Hillary lost.

941
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: But you see, this is what it brings us back

942
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: to the point about how they were willing to overlook

943
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: it when they thought Hillary was gonna win, because that

944
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: was their their actual judgment at the time. Not that

945
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: big a deal, don't rock the boat. Hillary is gonna win.

946
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: We'll forget all about this. That was their real feeling

947
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: about it. If you don't believe me, just remember this.

948
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: There's President Obama said, there is no serious person out

949
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: there who would suggest somehow that you could even you

950
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: could even rig America's elections, in part because they're so

951
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: decentralized and the numbers of votes involved. There's no evidence

952
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 1: that has happened in the past or that there are

953
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 1: instances in which that will happen this time. And so, uh,

954
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: I'd invite Mr Trump to stop lining and go try

955
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: to make his case to get votes, and if he

956
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: got the most votes, then it would be my expectation

957
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: of Hillary Clinton to offer a gracious concession speech and

958
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: pledge to work with him to make sure the American

959
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: people benefit from an effective government. What Obama said there

960
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: is all true. Actually, hey, look, I give credit. I

961
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: give credit where it's due. Some people are just you know,

962
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: raw raw whatever they think. You know, the conservative populace

963
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: movement wants to hear. Right now, I just tell you

964
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: what I think in any given moment, and what Obama

965
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: said there is true. It being very very hard for

966
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: any one person reging election, be very hard to reg

967
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: an election period. It would be I mean, if you,

968
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: for example, we're to make sure that there was no

969
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: voter I D in place in a whole lot of states,

970
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean that that would at least

971
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: make it easier. I'm not saying you could, but it

972
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: make it easier. But nonetheless, it would be very hard

973
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 1: to do alright, realistically, and they knew this, and they

974
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: knew it before and they know it now. But they're

975
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: just so self indulgent when it comes to their anti

976
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: Trump rage that they'll justify anything with it. And that's

977
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: why this whole troll factory. So, I mean, it's funny,

978
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: you know. I was just explaining to a Miss Molly

979
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: a little bit about this, and she's one of the

980
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: great things about our relationship. But she's not somebody who's political.

981
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: You know, she's she's up on what goes on in

982
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: the world, but she's not. It's just she's got other

983
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: things in her mind. It's great and I don't go

984
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: home and have to you know, oh, did you read

985
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: the latest piece in the Weekly Standard. I'm like, no, no,

986
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: it's not it's not how it goes. I was explaining

987
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: this to her and she's kind of like, wait, what,

988
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: how many people? How much money? What? And I was like, yeah, exactly.

989
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: It's a it's a kind of what situation like this

990
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: is not what they're trying to make it into. And

991
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: that's what is so so exasperating. That's a good word

992
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: for EXASPERA gosh, it's so tired of it. But we

993
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: gotta keep fighting Fox, gotta get the shield high because

994
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna push on this. This is all about remember,

995
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: all about impeachment and long term all about it. That's

996
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: why they are clinging to the narrative because if they

997
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: are able to they don't. They're not going to get

998
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: removal unless they win the Senate and the House. But

999
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: even if all they can manage is to, let's say,

1000
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: take the House, which I think is unlikely, but that's

1001
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: what they're hoping, they'll they'll impeach to the president on

1002
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: this issue even without a Muller. A Muller never mind

1003
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: a smoking gun with anything. I mean, I didn't even

1004
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: mention it yet I gotta talk about it. Right after this,

1005
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: this latest guy that Muller got, everyone just like, what

1006
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: is what is this? Why are we even so he

1007
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: he was I have to look, I have to give

1008
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: you the details. It's so insignifican again and so nonsensical

1009
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: in the broader scope of what Mueller is supposed to

1010
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: be looking for here with Russia collusion, that you're forced

1011
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: to sit around you say to yourself, what are we

1012
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: even spending our tax dollars on here? With he's some

1013
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Dutch lawyer who said something that no one cares about.

1014
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: The FBI is now facing prison time. Is crazy. He's

1015
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: back with you now because when it comes to the

1016
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: fight for truth, the fuck never stops. When you return

1017
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: an indictment that no one is ever going to be

1018
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: tried on, um, you do it because you're trying to

1019
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: craft a narrative or make a statement. And I think

1020
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: what happened with Mueller's case is the original collusion angle

1021
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: that they were proceeding on, which is that the Russians

1022
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 1: hacked the election and that Trump may have been or

1023
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: Trump people may have been complicit in the hacking, is

1024
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: something that a they don't have evidence of and be

1025
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: even if they hadn't, they couldn't prove in court. That's

1026
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: a big hole in a collusion case. What Mueller probably

1027
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: wanted to do was put to rest any claim that

1028
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: Russia hadn't actually uh interfered with our election, and I

1029
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: think this indictment is an attempt to do that, But

1030
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: it's far afield from what the original collusion allegation was.

1031
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 1: As our friend Annie McCarthy, who was just laying out

1032
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: some of his thoughts on Fox News about the Muller

1033
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: and Diamond from last week. Very important that we all

1034
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: understand they're creating a narrative with all this that Mueller

1035
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:52,959
Speaker 1: is actually bringing a federal case against thirteen Russians, really

1036
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: as part of the news cycle. That's what this is about.

1037
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: This is it's a news story. It's not actually a

1038
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: federal prosecution is not going to go anywhere. The mean anything,

1039
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: never going to get these guys. And as I've said

1040
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: to you also, I think there's a whole bunch of

1041
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: other problems with information warfare as a charge that a

1042
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: federal prosecutor, effectively federal prosecutor is is levying against another

1043
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: country and what that means for our country. And do

1044
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: we ever meddle? I don't know. I think maybe sometimes

1045
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: it might have happened somewhere just saying the meddling. But

1046
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: you have the Mueller probe continuing on. As we discussed

1047
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: last week, there was there were the indictments, and then

1048
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 1: today you have two more bits of information add into

1049
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: all this. One you have a colleague of Paul Manaforts

1050
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: Gates who has been flipped, we are told who has

1051
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: been flipped and is going to testify against Maniport and

1052
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna be They're gonna try to nail them on

1053
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: some fraud stuff and some wire fraud, bank stuff, you know,

1054
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 1: just things that have nothing to do with Russia collusion. Nothing.

1055
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: But I've I've said this along you those of you

1056
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: who have been listening to the show for a while

1057
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: and now over a year on air here in National syndication,

1058
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: those have been listening to me for a while now.

1059
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: I have been very consistent on this point. This is

1060
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: going to grind along, and it's gonna chop up the

1061
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: lives of a whole bunch of folks that have nothing

1062
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: to do with conspiring with the Kremlin to mess with

1063
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: a U. S election. But the left just wants they

1064
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 1: just want to feed bodies into the system that they

1065
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: just want scalps. They want people to be punished so

1066
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: that there is some sense of wrongdoing from the Trump camp,

1067
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: right just because if if anyone goes to pre it

1068
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. What for if it's tax evasion, which may

1069
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: very well be involved in the Menaphort charge, well then

1070
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: they're bad people that around Trump. Keep Menaphort got canned

1071
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: during the campaign. It's not Trump's fault. If Manaford was

1072
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: doing shady stuff in Ukraine beforehand and whatever. And as

1073
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: we all know, the Trump campaign was a little bit

1074
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: of an improvisation. I could say that an improvisation. And

1075
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: some of the people that were affiliated with an associate

1076
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: with the Trump campaign. And this also goes to a

1077
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: lot of the never Trump sentiment. You know, all the

1078
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: in the political world, the so called best and brightest

1079
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: and most connected, we're not going to work for Trump.

1080
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: At the beginning. I know because I know a lot

1081
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: of those folks. They were running over to the Rubio

1082
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: and Cruise campaigns and Jeb Bush, although Jeb Jeb exclamation

1083
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: point fizzled out pretty quickly. But it was Rubio and

1084
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: Cruz that were attracting the political high rollers so to speak,

1085
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: in the in the early days, not Trump. And that's

1086
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 1: why Trump put such a premium on loyalty, because he

1087
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: he was really able to see, you know, who's who's

1088
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: with me? You know, it wasn't just who's with me

1089
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,439
Speaker 1: because you think I'm gonna win, Who's with me because

1090
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,919
Speaker 1: they believe? But that meant that there were other people

1091
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: who were just opportunists, and Manafort was one of them,

1092
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 1: right manaforts Like yeah, sure, Donald, like I'll come and

1093
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: ride this way for a while with you. Why not,

1094
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 1: you know? And if I'll do it for some shady Ukrainians,

1095
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: I'll do it for you, right who cares well? Now?

1096
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: Manaforts in a in some trouble. Innocent until proven guilty,

1097
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: but it looks like he's in a rough spot. Then

1098
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: you get this other guy today, and I have to

1099
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: read this to you, so I get to make sure

1100
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 1: I get all the specifics clear. The son in law,

1101
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: according the Washington Post, here son in law of Russian

1102
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:37,439
Speaker 1: Uh well, here's what the opening paragraph is. The Dutch

1103
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: son in law of one of Russia's wealthiest men pleaded

1104
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: guilty Tuesday and Federal court in Washington to making false

1105
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: statements in Special Counsel Mueller's probe of Russian interference in

1106
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: the US presidential election. Alex van der Zwan was charged

1107
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: with line to the FBI about his contacts with Rick Gates.

1108
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: Who's that who served as a top official on President

1109
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: Trump's campaign and a longtime business partner of former campaign

1110
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: chairman Paul Manafort. Based in London, Venders Juan worked for

1111
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: the law firms Scatting Arts, very famous, very high end

1112
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: uh law firm well known here in New York City.

1113
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: A lot of my law school buddies wanted to go

1114
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 1: work there, which worked with Maniford and Gates when they

1115
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: served as political consultants in Ukraine. Uh So, this guy

1116
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: is thirty three years old and he's pleaded guilty to

1117
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: a felony. We don't know what his punishment's going to be.

1118
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: He could serve up to six months in prison. But

1119
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: now he's a convicted film which I would know what

1120
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 1: means that at least under US law. I mean he's

1121
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: a Dutch citizen. Under US law, he could uh not

1122
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: practice law anymore as it convicted flans. I don't know

1123
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: how that affects him in Europe, but who knows. But

1124
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 1: here's the thing he talked about when he last spoke

1125
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: to Gates, and he was off by like a month.

1126
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: And they're saying that, you know, that's a big deal.

1127
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: It's an ice facing a federal criminal charge. What does

1128
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 1: this vendor's wound guy have to do with anything? Who knows?

1129
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: But Mueller's just he's just out taking people down. You

1130
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, say what you will about this. You can't

1131
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 1: look at this and not think, how does the Mueller?

1132
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 1: How do Mueller's tactics compared to the FBI's tactics with

1133
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: Hillary's emails. Just always keep that in the back of

1134
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 1: your mind and I think you'll understand what's really work here.

1135
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of which Flynn, was Flynn ambushed? Did they stack

1136
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: the deck? Did they cheat to get Flynn's scalp. We'll

1137
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: talk about that in just a few minutes. So there's

1138
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 1: been a lot of reporting on Russia collusion last few days.

1139
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 1: There's this whole indictment of the thirteen guys tied to

1140
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: the troll factories and the sock puppet maneuvers, all the

1141
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:55,919
Speaker 1: stuff you've seen on Facebook, what we've been talking about

1142
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 1: here on the show. But there's something else that's happening

1143
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: in the legal world right now that touches on these

1144
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: investigations over Russian interference and theoretical collusion and all this

1145
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: other stuff that has to do with the status of

1146
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: General Michael Flynn's plea plea do you? So, let's bring

1147
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: on somebody who has particular inside in this. We have

1148
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,600
Speaker 1: Margot Cleveland with us. She is a senior contribute to

1149
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: the Federalist and a lawyer who served nearly twenty five

1150
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 1: years as a career law clerk for federal Apple appellate

1151
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: judge and and AGC professor in the College of Business

1152
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: at University of Notre Dame. And you are involved in

1153
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: this case, Margot, Well, I'm involved in the sense that

1154
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: I've been researching it after I started seeing the media

1155
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: just ignore all of these problems that have been coming out,

1156
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: and when I dug into it more, I realized that

1157
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: there is a huge issue of whether or not in

1158
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: the plea agreement there was information with help from Flynn.

1159
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: Hold On, let me just tell everybody what the title

1160
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 1: of Margot's pieces here, It's how a plea re per

1161
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: soul from Michael Flynn could uncover more federal corruption. Margot,

1162
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 1: I read your whole piece. It's really interesting, I think

1163
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: very important. I'm somebody who it's very agitated about the

1164
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 1: possibility of federal overreach and prosecutorial misconduct, and this seems

1165
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 1: like it's at least possible right now and trending towards

1166
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 1: likely that there's something going on here with this. Can

1167
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 1: you walk us through what's what what may in fact

1168
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 1: be the case with this Flynn plea deal, and why

1169
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 1: you're seeing it that way? Okay, sure, So after he

1170
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: put guilty. Within a week, the judge who accepted his

1171
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: guilty plea was taken off the case and a new

1172
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,600
Speaker 1: judge was given the case, which by itself, that was

1173
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: pretty mysterious. Usually if there's a procusal, it would happen

1174
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,559
Speaker 1: before they accept a plea deal. So that was the

1175
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: first thing that kind of came out as weird. And then, um,

1176
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 1: it was last week there was a ending order that

1177
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: was entered in the case and it was the first

1178
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: time I took a look at it, and it required

1179
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:09,799
Speaker 1: the government to turn over any exculpatory evidence to Flynn.

1180
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,759
Speaker 1: And at that point it was actually a revised standing order.

1181
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: The judge had done it back in December, I think

1182
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: it was. And when I looked at a little bit more,

1183
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, if there is this evidence

1184
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: that's not out there, this judge has given the green

1185
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,639
Speaker 1: light that this is the basis to withhold the guilty play,

1186
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to withdraw a guilty plate. Now whether or

1187
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 1: not the government withheld evidence, I don't know. We'd have

1188
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 1: to wait to see what comes out. But you've got

1189
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 1: to keep in mind who the players are in the

1190
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: Flynn case. So we had that FBI duel the ones

1191
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: who were texting back and forth, and one of those

1192
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: was the individual who had actually interviewed Flynn, which is

1193
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: what he was charged with line to the FBI on

1194
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 1: So you look at that, and he originally, the FBI

1195
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: agent had originally said he didn't think Flynn was lying.

1196
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: Mure set he didn't think Flynn was lying. But then

1197
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: Flynn gets indicted on this. So can you how could

1198
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 1: that be possible? Margot? I mean, you've got how could

1199
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: some FBI d o J officials think that someone did

1200
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:19,599
Speaker 1: not lie and then that person is charged with lying

1201
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: for the circumstances under review. That just seems you know,

1202
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 1: how much faith can we put in the process when

1203
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: one FBI guy goes, no, there's no lie and another says, yeah,

1204
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 1: I think there's a lie, right, And and that's the

1205
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: part that's really concerning, that you have those statements and

1206
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 1: then he gets charged. Now it could be that they

1207
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: had more evidence that contradicted something he said in the

1208
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: interview that came out later, or that showed that he

1209
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: really didn't forget the scenario that was that was some

1210
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,560
Speaker 1: of the testimony, that he didn't recall something, or the inconsistent,

1211
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: see would be something that maybe he forgot, so who knows,

1212
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 1: maybe they discovered something else. But when you look at

1213
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 1: all the players that were involved in this, they've got

1214
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:08,719
Speaker 1: all of this stuff coming out that is throwing questions

1215
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:13,680
Speaker 1: about their credibility. And if this comes forward, now the

1216
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: government has to turn over the savidence. And it sounds

1217
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: like that Flynn took the plea deal before he was

1218
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:24,759
Speaker 1: given some of this exculpatory evidence. So again we don't

1219
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 1: know yet what this evidence is. But the judge who said,

1220
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 1: on this case, excuse me, who is currently honest? Judge Sullivan? Right,

1221
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 1: Judge Sullivan. Yeah, he's He's a very interesting guy with

1222
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 1: some of his previous decisions too. He is not friendly

1223
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 1: to the government playing games with this exactly. He is

1224
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:46,759
Speaker 1: the judge who when he discovered the withholding of evidence

1225
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,800
Speaker 1: in Steven's in the in the Senator to Steven's case

1226
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 1: in Alaska, right, exactly exactly, he was irate. He ordered

1227
01:12:55,600 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: an investigation. He did not tolerate it. So if there

1228
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:04,679
Speaker 1: is nothing, I will absolutely trust Sullivan. So if Sullivan

1229
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: comes out and it clears it, I have no concerns

1230
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: about the flint component of it is it is it

1231
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: a settled matter? And we're speaking to Margot Cleveland. Everyone

1232
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 1: senior contribute to the federalist and she's a lawyer, Margot,

1233
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,760
Speaker 1: is it a federal is a federalist? Sorry? Is it

1234
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 1: settled law that you if you take a plea deal

1235
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: exculpatory evidence that it's found later does not matter? How

1236
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 1: does that work? So essentially forever listening, if they the

1237
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 1: Feds come to me and say you're looking at five years,

1238
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: or you plead guilty today and you'll get a six

1239
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,640
Speaker 1: month suspended sentence, and if it came out you know

1240
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 1: two weeks after that that the Feds actually knew I

1241
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 1: was innocent all along. Does that matter? It depends on

1242
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 1: where you are. This is an issue that is not

1243
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: resolved in the court yet. And that was one of

1244
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 1: the things that I found interesting about Judge Fullisan standing order.

1245
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 1: But the lower courts are actually is split on this.

1246
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has never said whether or not withholding

1247
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 1: exculpatory evidence in a plea case will result in the

1248
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 1: plea being thrown out. If it's withheld and you go

1249
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 1: to trial, you get a new trial. But in a

1250
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: plea case, the courts have different views but this is

1251
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: where it's key Judge Sullivan. Sullivan's view is that you

1252
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 1: must turn this evidence over, and if you don't, that

1253
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 1: is a basis for a plea to be withdrawn. He

1254
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: is a district court judge in d C. And there

1255
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 1: are at least two, if not three, district court cases

1256
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:42,639
Speaker 1: in d C that have held that. And again that's

1257
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: one of the key points that I was trying to

1258
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: make in this in this article, trying to take the

1259
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: kind of mushy legal stuff and make it pretty clear

1260
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 1: that in his court, if they withheld material exculpatory evidence,

1261
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: it would be a basis to withdraw a plea. So

1262
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: if it does get with drawn, we're going to know

1263
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: there's some problems there. But if it does get withdrawn,

1264
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Margot, I know you're you're you're a lawyer's

1265
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 1: you're keeping it right on the straight and error here,

1266
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna come out and say, if they withdraw

1267
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: the plea, it's because Flynn was getting hosed and this

1268
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,640
Speaker 1: was a setup. That's what that means to me. You

1269
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: don't have to agree with that, but that's how I see, right,

1270
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's necessarily the case. Flynn might

1271
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: have planned for valid reasons, maybe he knew he did

1272
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: something wrong, or he might have planed for invalid reasons

1273
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: that he was concerned about what it would do to

1274
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 1: his family and the long process, So it could have

1275
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:39,480
Speaker 1: gone one way or the other from a personal standpoint.

1276
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: And then how how often does it defend in the

1277
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: federal case change a guilty plea unless there's new information

1278
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: that would change the status of their I mean, just

1279
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 1: how I've never heard of that happening. Well, it actually

1280
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: happens where they try to do it a lot, and

1281
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 1: and usually it's not these high profile cases. But from

1282
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 1: my perspective, the bigger issue if he would draw us

1283
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 1: the plea is that the evidence was withheld. So you

1284
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: can kind of look at it two ways. There's the

1285
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 1: Flynn matter of him personally, and then there's a matter

1286
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 1: of what does this say about the prosecutors involved in

1287
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 1: the case. And I think the second issue is the

1288
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:25,400
Speaker 1: one that has broader ramifications. Obviously to Flynn it matters,

1289
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 1: but the broader ramifications if he is able to withdraw

1290
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: the plea is that this process was corrupted. That's what

1291
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. It would seem to me pretty

1292
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:38,200
Speaker 1: clear that we're dealing with a bunch of prosecutorial headhunters here,

1293
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: which is not a good thing when you're talking about

1294
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: an open ended, massive special counsel investigation. Oh. Absolutely, And

1295
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: and just to clarify, what I mean is Flynn could

1296
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: have done something wrong, whether or not the prosecutors were

1297
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 1: good or bad. But the problem of the plea going

1298
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:57,759
Speaker 1: through in this context is it is showing that there

1299
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 1: would be broader corruption if this providence was withheld. And

1300
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,680
Speaker 1: I do want to make one more point here that

1301
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 1: this is really tying into the whole Phis A Court process,

1302
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 1: which really triggered my interest in this when I read

1303
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 1: the House memo that came out and then the Grassly

1304
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: Grand memo. The process of the five A Court was

1305
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: completely abused from what they said in those memos, and

1306
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 1: I wrote a couple of articles on that that you

1307
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 1: can take a look at it the federalists. But this

1308
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: all is going to a broader problem with how the

1309
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: Department of Justice is handling things, or I should say,

1310
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 1: select individuals. And to me that shocking because I've known

1311
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 1: some U S. Attorney's assistants, attorneys who have the most integrity,

1312
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:45,799
Speaker 1: and to me, this is what is the most disturbing

1313
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 1: about it. But when we saw from the Ted Stevens thing,

1314
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 1: for example, Senators Ted Stevens, if that doesn't happen, by

1315
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: the way, we probably don't have Obamacare. For everybody listening,

1316
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:56,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of federal prosecutors knew that he had expeltatory

1317
01:17:56,320 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 1: evidence and they hit it. It was terrible exactly. They

1318
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:01,799
Speaker 1: literally were like, oh, we know this guy is innocent,

1319
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: let's nail him anyway because he's got in our next

1320
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: to his name and he's a senator from Alaska. That's

1321
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 1: what happened there. Margot Cleveland, everybody check out her piece

1322
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: how a plea reversal from Michael Flynn could uncover more

1323
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: federal corruption. It is really compelling reading. It's up on

1324
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: the Federalist dot com. Margot, please stay with it and

1325
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: if you have updates, we would love to have you

1326
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 1: back to explain what's going on here. Okay, great, sounds wonderful,

1327
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Thanks so much, Margot. Alright, team, we're

1328
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna roll into a break. We come back. We are

1329
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: going to talk with our friend Sean Davis about what's

1330
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:36,360
Speaker 1: going on with the various fixes that are or whether

1331
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 1: the fixes or not, the various actions that people are

1332
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: talking about on guns in the as a result of

1333
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 1: the tragedy and Florida. We'll get into that more. Stay

1334
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: with me, Welcome back everyone. So we have been talking

1335
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 1: a lot about guns here in the Freedom Hunt because

1336
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: of what happened in Florida. This is the center of

1337
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: the national policy discussion right now. It's not immigration, it's

1338
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,639
Speaker 1: not even Russia right now. It is in fact, guns,

1339
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment, gun control, what to do about school shootings.

1340
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 1: So there are proposals now on the table. Unlike in

1341
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: some previous shootings, there are at least real ideas that

1342
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,639
Speaker 1: are being forward and not by everyone, but by some,

1343
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 1: and therefore we should spend some time looking at them

1344
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 1: and judging them on their merits. And to help us

1345
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: do that now we have Sean Davis. He is co

1346
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: founder of The Federalist. The Federalist dot com is one

1347
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 1: of my favorite commentary sites. You guys should all be

1348
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: quite familiar with it. Shawn's the co founder and he

1349
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: joins us now. Sean, thank you so much, Thank you

1350
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: for having me. Can you just let's let's work through

1351
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: what are some of the the biggest takeaways in terms

1352
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: of policy from the horrible tragedy in Florida. I mean,

1353
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 1: I can throw some of your way Sean also, if

1354
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: there's any I'm leaving out, but I just wanted to

1355
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 1: start with, what do you think about age restrictions for

1356
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: buying an A R. I'm seeing that get a lot

1357
01:19:55,040 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 1: of play. I think they're utterly silly, devoid of information

1358
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 1: on who's responsible for the bulk of mass shootings, and

1359
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: just you know, fundamentally at odds with what we know

1360
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,559
Speaker 1: about how criminals work and about how human nature works.

1361
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,760
Speaker 1: For example, rost out that at the New York Times said,

1362
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: you know what, because all these shooters are young men,

1363
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: we shouldn't let anyone under thirty by an a R fifteen,

1364
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 1: which number one. It's just it's so silly. There's so

1365
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 1: many other guns out there that are are more powerful,

1366
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 1: have a bigger range, better terminal ballistics, and yet d

1367
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:40,799
Speaker 1: a R has captured UH gun controllers imagination for some reason.

1368
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 1: And then the other issues, looking at the actual data

1369
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 1: of who commits mass shootings in the US, you would think,

1370
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 1: looking at news coverage that it's always alienated young men, teenagers,

1371
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: early twenties, and that's just not the case. In fact,

1372
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 1: the majority fifty five percent of mass students in this

1373
01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: country are committed by middle aged men. Men between the

1374
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:04,400
Speaker 1: ages of thirty and fifty is the majority of mass

1375
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 1: shootings in the US. So these age based restrictions, they

1376
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 1: are their wild attempts to try to come up with

1377
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 1: some way, somehow to ban this gun or that gun,

1378
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:16,759
Speaker 1: but they're just not rooted in the reality of what's happening.

1379
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 1: I think that's the You've made a number of points

1380
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:21,760
Speaker 1: and everybody should keep in mind, but the the the

1381
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 1: one that sticks out the most for me is that

1382
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 1: this would not go to the heart of the problem

1383
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: because you're not even necessarily going to legally never mind

1384
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 1: their illegal possession of weapons, which we know is always

1385
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 1: also an issue that comes in here, but too legally

1386
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:39,759
Speaker 1: possessed weapons. People in the age range of mass shooters,

1387
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: there will be plenty of them that will be able

1388
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 1: to get them. As you said, so people over thirty

1389
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 1: are engaged in plenty of mass shootings too, So that

1390
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't stop the problem. Okay, So that one doesn't seem

1391
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: like it that that falls in that category for me, Shaun.

1392
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 1: If people say, well, how big a deal is it?

1393
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 1: I would also point out that there's no way it

1394
01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 1: would stop at just the a R fifteen because the

1395
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,959
Speaker 1: you ban or you you have an age based restriction

1396
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: for the a R. People would rightfully say, well, it's

1397
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 1: not really that different from a lot of other rifles,

1398
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 1: and then bam, you'd have a list of like fifty

1399
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 1: to rifles minimum right there. There's no saving a gun

1400
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 1: controller um, because you know, once you get grant the

1401
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:21,280
Speaker 1: principle that it's okay to band this gun or that

1402
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 1: gun or this calibra, that caliber, there's no limiting principle

1403
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:29,759
Speaker 1: on it. Um. And I guess we've talked about this before.

1404
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: My big complaint with this debate is it's not actually

1405
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: about guns. It's not about gun control. What we are

1406
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: having is a debate with guns is proxies about human nature.

1407
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:41,439
Speaker 1: In the nature of man. There are people on one

1408
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,759
Speaker 1: side of the debate who thinks that if you congest

1409
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: regulate these tools have the right mix of laws, you

1410
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:51,440
Speaker 1: can regulate out of the heart of man an inclination

1411
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:53,760
Speaker 1: or ability to do evil. And then on the other

1412
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: side you have people who say, you know what, people

1413
01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: have been murdering each other for the entirety of human history. Uh,

1414
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, going back to the very beginning, and the

1415
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: most wicked, devastating tool of death that has ever been

1416
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:12,640
Speaker 1: devised is the wicked human heart. And rather than pretending

1417
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: like we can just put these things under lock and

1418
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: key and then bad people won't want to do bad things,

1419
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: maybe we should give good people the ability to defend

1420
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 1: themselves against the bad people. The whole debate, I would

1421
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 1: I would agree with with everything that you just deserted.

1422
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:28,920
Speaker 1: I would also add to it that I think that

1423
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 1: guns becomes also an ideological proxy battleground for the cultural

1424
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: left and the right that it's just a way of showing,

1425
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, the people and Blue strongholds coastal areas and

1426
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 1: Democrats strongholds of the country, they don't like people who

1427
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 1: own guns. They actually they think that people who own

1428
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 1: guns are roobs and hillbillies and their gross and so

1429
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: this is one of the reasons why it becomes such

1430
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,759
Speaker 1: an emotional issue for them, because it's a way of throwing,

1431
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, throwing some stuff at the other guys. No,

1432
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:58,839
Speaker 1: I think that's exactly right. It's it's a cultural chivalist

1433
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 1: um and in fact, in a lot of quarters, especially

1434
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: in media, you know, we mock people on the left

1435
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 1: for not knowing the slightest thing about guns and just

1436
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:11,000
Speaker 1: messing up in embarrassingly bad ways, basic stuff like at

1437
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 1: one point USA Today said a hot new accessory creation

1438
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: the chains I knew you're gonna go with the chainsaw

1439
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:18,760
Speaker 1: on the rail system. That's my favorite too. How can

1440
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 1: I not go after the chainsaw? Theyonet so, but they

1441
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:25,719
Speaker 1: that ignorance is almost a badge of a badge of courage.

1442
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:29,599
Speaker 1: It signifies that they are not going to solely themselves, um,

1443
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: but by getting into the mud with these icky, knuckle

1444
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 1: dragging buck tooth hillbilly gun clingers, and you know they're

1445
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:39,800
Speaker 1: they are so much more high minded they don't even

1446
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,519
Speaker 1: need to learn about I've said this and I'm so

1447
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 1: happy that someone someone agrees with me. Sean, I've been

1448
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 1: saying that it is viewed as an issue where it's

1449
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: the only issue I know of in journalism where to

1450
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,719
Speaker 1: be wrong is actually to score points among your own

1451
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 1: because it shows your disdain for the issue. It's like

1452
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 1: it's the equivalent of if a of the announcer ever

1453
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 1: brings somebody on TV and doesn't have their name right,

1454
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 1: that's like the most one oh one thing ever, and

1455
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 1: you can assume that a lot of times they would

1456
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:09,599
Speaker 1: only do it because I don't even care to know

1457
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 1: this person's name with the gun with the anti gun

1458
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,560
Speaker 1: crowd in journalism, they didn't even care to know the

1459
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:17,280
Speaker 1: difference between automatic and a semi automatic because it doesn't

1460
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 1: matter because they're all bad. That's actually the mentality they have.

1461
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: It is, it is, and they'll get mad at you

1462
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: if you nitpick them on stuff like that, like, oh,

1463
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:29,600
Speaker 1: because I didn't know this was a Ruger versus a Rimington's,

1464
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 1: and I can't regulate guns that when it's actually no.

1465
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 1: The last time you tried this, you regulated guns by

1466
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:40,120
Speaker 1: feature and you put stupid features on there that had

1467
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:43,519
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing to do with anything, and then patted yourselves

1468
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 1: on the back for having done a real good job.

1469
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:47,840
Speaker 1: And in fact, one of the people who backed that

1470
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: fault weapons ban, Carolyne McCarthy New York, was asked on

1471
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:55,400
Speaker 1: National TV about one of those cosmetics features that was

1472
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 1: listed and banned in the law, and it was with

1473
01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson. He said, okay, you you banned a barrel

1474
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 1: for out what's the barrel shroud? And she himmed in

1475
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:04,800
Speaker 1: hod it was appeared she had no idea what it was.

1476
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 1: And finally she said, oh, it's the shoulder thing that

1477
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 1: goes up. Like, you can't have people with that level

1478
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:15,760
Speaker 1: of knowledge writing into law specific definitions that banned this

1479
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 1: thing or that thing. You actually have to know what

1480
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 1: you're doing, just as you wouldn't want a mechanic who

1481
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: didn't know the difference between a ranch and a screwdriver

1482
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: taking apart your engine. It's just dumb. And also let

1483
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 1: me that these bands they put in place, people can

1484
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 1: get arrested for this stuff. I think that's often lost here.

1485
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 1: It's not like we're no longer offering this product at

1486
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: your local CDs or something. If they put a magazine

1487
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:39,120
Speaker 1: ban in place in a certain state, they will arrest

1488
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 1: people for that there. And in looking back again at

1489
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 1: the nineties four law, they had things on there like,

1490
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, if it has a bayonet lug, not even

1491
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: a beyonet, a bayonet lug, it's ban. Or if it

1492
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 1: has a muzzle break or a collapsible stock, well, you

1493
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 1: know what people did to get around it is they

1494
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 1: would pen and weld the stock, and then they would

1495
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:00,760
Speaker 1: pen and weld level device under the barrel cut off

1496
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 1: suddenly it's compliance. The gun functionally was no difference than

1497
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:06,719
Speaker 1: it was before. I want to ask you. We're speaking

1498
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 1: to Sean Davis of The Federalist, Everybody's co founder of

1499
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 1: the Federalist. You can check out his latest on the website.

1500
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 1: UM one that that is getting a lot of attention.

1501
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 1: And then I think is a is a good faith

1502
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 1: effort and at least worthy of discussion. Well, I guess

1503
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 1: they're all worthy discussion, but worthy of perhaps further investigation.

1504
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 1: Is David French in National Review. Although he said it's

1505
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 1: not his idea, he's forwarding the proposal for a temporary

1506
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: restraining order for the purchase of firearms. What say you,

1507
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: Sean Davis, and correct me if I'm wrong. He was

1508
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: talking about related to mental health. Correct, yes, sorry, So

1509
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 1: I should have explained it. So it's a it's a

1510
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 1: it's a temporary straining order based on a mental health

1511
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 1: adjudication to prevent somebody for a period of time for

1512
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: forgetting a gun. They'd have to go in front of

1513
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 1: a cord. There obviously be some So this was essentially

1514
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 1: a version of a much because it's very hard to

1515
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,640
Speaker 1: get somebody adjudicated mentally incompetent, which is a good thing

1516
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 1: because we actually don't want people to be able to

1517
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 1: be locked away unless there's very good reason. But this

1518
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 1: would be to say, hey, look, the same way that

1519
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:10,919
Speaker 1: you can't have a gun because of a domestic violence

1520
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 1: conviction in the past, or if you've ever been the order,

1521
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 1: have you ever been under a protective order? I believe

1522
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 1: there's also some restrictions in some states. UH in this case,

1523
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 1: if the people around you think you're nuts, you can

1524
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 1: go before a judge that they can say, all right,

1525
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: you for this period of time, no gun for you.

1526
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 1: You know, I like David French a lot. I know

1527
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:32,400
Speaker 1: where he's coming from. UM. In principle, I don't have

1528
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,320
Speaker 1: a problem with his idea. I think that's fine. In practice,

1529
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 1: I have lots of concerns because it's there's just so

1530
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:42,600
Speaker 1: many things that go into the details of that. You know,

1531
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:45,639
Speaker 1: what's going to re required, what's the evidentiary standard, what's

1532
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 1: your ability UM to go and argue your own case

1533
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:50,680
Speaker 1: in court. If it turns out a bunch of co

1534
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:54,080
Speaker 1: workers or neighbors who are mad at you, UM have decided,

1535
01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, they don't like these gun humps, so they're

1536
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:58,960
Speaker 1: gonna get this guy's guns taken away, but assuming it

1537
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 1: could all be done in a good faith way where

1538
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:06,680
Speaker 1: you can mitigate or eliminate the the chances of chicanery

1539
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:09,640
Speaker 1: or revenge based targeting of gun owners. I don't have

1540
01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: a problem with it. I think that I think it's

1541
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 1: totally fair what I wish we would do, however, rather

1542
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 1: than everyone trying to come up with clever new laws

1543
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: to put on the books, I really do wish we

1544
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:21,560
Speaker 1: would enforce the laws that we have now, because what

1545
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 1: we had in Florida was a kid who told me

1546
01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:27,479
Speaker 1: envisited thirty nine times he had put on YouTube that

1547
01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:29,640
Speaker 1: he wanted to shoot up at school. All his classmates

1548
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,000
Speaker 1: knew it, the FBI knew it, and they did nothing.

1549
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 1: So what on earth is a new law going to

1550
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:35,600
Speaker 1: do when you have a regime which we saw in

1551
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 1: Florida where all of the warning signs were there, everyone

1552
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:40,519
Speaker 1: knew this guy was a ticking time bomb and nobody

1553
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: didn't think about it. Jean, is there anything that you

1554
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 1: think that really was there anything that's at the top

1555
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 1: of your list before we let you go, that you

1556
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 1: think should be done here in response to the shooting? Yeah? Absolutely,

1557
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 1: I think, um, knowing what we do about each cowards

1558
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,679
Speaker 1: to love targeting defense with people who can't shoot back, um,

1559
01:29:57,680 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 1: knowing what we do about that. Maybe we should stop

1560
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 1: making our schools completely defenseless and soft targets. Maybe we

1561
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:06,519
Speaker 1: should give teachers and employees and administrators who are already

1562
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:09,639
Speaker 1: licensed by the state to carry a concealed weapon. Maybe

1563
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 1: they've gone through extra training. You're already trusting these people

1564
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:16,240
Speaker 1: with your children all day long. It's about time we

1565
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 1: give people who are already trained and licensed to do

1566
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:21,680
Speaker 1: this stuff the right to protect the children under their

1567
01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:24,760
Speaker 1: charge while they're at school. Let's stop broadcasting to these

1568
01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 1: evil cowards so they can go into these gun free

1569
01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:30,040
Speaker 1: zones and turn them into free fire zones and start

1570
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:31,960
Speaker 1: sending the message that if you set foot on this

1571
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 1: campus with a gun intent on doing harm, we're going

1572
01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:37,559
Speaker 1: to put you down. Sean Davis, co founder of the Federalists.

1573
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:40,800
Speaker 1: Check out the Federalist dot com for more of their writing. Sean,

1574
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:42,880
Speaker 1: always appreciate you make the time. My friend talks soon.

1575
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 1: It's a pleasure, sir. Thank you say we're gonnaroll into

1576
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 1: a quick break. Will be right back. So I see

1577
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:53,320
Speaker 1: that Jay Law was initially reported, and for those who

1578
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:56,880
Speaker 1: are not into this kind of stuff, I'm assuming that

1579
01:30:56,920 --> 01:31:00,360
Speaker 1: a very small percentage of this audience subs ribs to

1580
01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:04,080
Speaker 1: People magazine or reads US weekly. My only connection to

1581
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 1: pop culture is Miss Molly. She keeps me informed, so

1582
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 1: I don't say things like, you know, who are who

1583
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:12,720
Speaker 1: are the Kardashians again or whatever. She makes sure that

1584
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:14,760
Speaker 1: I know what's going on in the world other than

1585
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 1: politics and national security and political philosophy and whatnot. But

1586
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:23,760
Speaker 1: it turns out that Jay law Jennifer Lawrence, actress of

1587
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:27,840
Speaker 1: many films, is not taking a break from acting for

1588
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:29,840
Speaker 1: the I initially thought she was, and I came on,

1589
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,719
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, oh no, because you know, truth

1590
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:36,040
Speaker 1: be told him kind of a jailaw fan. You know,

1591
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:40,240
Speaker 1: I appreciate, I celebrate her whole catalog. I think it's

1592
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 1: it's got a nice, nice body of work. Um. And

1593
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:49,200
Speaker 1: yet here we are being told in advance that we

1594
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:53,040
Speaker 1: can expect there to be some politics coming out of

1595
01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:56,560
Speaker 1: Miss ms Lawrence the next year because activism to celebrities,

1596
01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 1: they never do activism. That's not at least I never

1597
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:01,840
Speaker 1: hear about. Maybe that's a better way to put it.

1598
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 1: I never hear about activism that isn't in the realm

1599
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:10,040
Speaker 1: of progressive virtue signaling. Why can't we have more celebrities

1600
01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:13,800
Speaker 1: whose activism is I want to, you know, raise lots

1601
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:16,680
Speaker 1: of money for charter schools in the inner city. I

1602
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 1: want to raise lots of money for uh A specific

1603
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 1: cancer research program or whatever it is, all these good things.

1604
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'd like to see more really

1605
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:31,519
Speaker 1: big name celebrities out there that are are raising money

1606
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:34,439
Speaker 1: for you know, St. Jude's. Why is it that we

1607
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:38,240
Speaker 1: always have these celebrities that are global warming I got

1608
01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 1: to go to international summits and talk about global warming,

1609
01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:45,160
Speaker 1: or you know, it's it's always a transgender rights global warming,

1610
01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:49,840
Speaker 1: just something that's in the progressive vanguard. I would have

1611
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 1: so much more respect for what they're doing if they

1612
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:56,519
Speaker 1: leverage their celebrity for something that was just clearly of

1613
01:32:56,640 --> 01:33:02,560
Speaker 1: public benefit and not some form of brand enhancement for themselves.

1614
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:05,759
Speaker 1: Because when you do things like you know, Leonardo DiCaprio

1615
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: with this whole climate change thing. The guy's literally flying

1616
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 1: around the world on his private jet to go to

1617
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 1: climate change meetings. You know, talk about this and they're

1618
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:16,360
Speaker 1: not to be mean, but I mean, I don't even

1619
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 1: think the guy. I think it's unlikely the guy has

1620
01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 1: like a tenth grade reading level, and yet he's gonna

1621
01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 1: lecture the whole world on the most among the most

1622
01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:31,720
Speaker 1: complicated scientific issues facing the international community today. Although I

1623
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 1: don't think it's really I don't think the answer is

1624
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:36,160
Speaker 1: that complative. The answer is we don't really have to

1625
01:33:36,160 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 1: do anything, and it's gonna be fine. But I know

1626
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,439
Speaker 1: people yell at me for that. Don't use the paper bags, buck,

1627
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:48,040
Speaker 1: don't use them. Why what's gonna happen? The earth will mouth? Uh? Anyway,

1628
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 1: So Jay Law is gonna be doing activism next year.

1629
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:54,160
Speaker 1: I saw that today. She's good. I mean, I like

1630
01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 1: Jay Law. Not not quite as good as Jessica Biel,

1631
01:33:57,520 --> 01:33:59,839
Speaker 1: but she's close. You know, they're they're in a similar

1632
01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 1: similar category. Um, And I'm gonna switch out to George

1633
01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:07,200
Speaker 1: Clooney before I get myself into trouble. And George Clooney

1634
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:12,040
Speaker 1: is also talking about doing more politics. Now they're saying

1635
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:15,080
Speaker 1: maybe even Clooney twenty. Now here's the thing about that,

1636
01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:20,240
Speaker 1: And just this is not a knock on the Trump presidency.

1637
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:26,559
Speaker 1: It's just a statement of reality. Until now, when a

1638
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:31,880
Speaker 1: well known celebrity said he or she was thinking about

1639
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:35,439
Speaker 1: running for the presidency. It was an understandable reaction for

1640
01:34:35,479 --> 01:34:39,920
Speaker 1: a lot of us to just say, oh, that's a

1641
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:42,920
Speaker 1: version of brand enhancement, right, this is a lot of

1642
01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:46,479
Speaker 1: free press, and you know, they'll get their name out there.

1643
01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:49,760
Speaker 1: But remember, if we're gonna be honest about it. When

1644
01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:52,559
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was first running in this twenty six cycle,

1645
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 1: a lot of people said that about Trump. A lot

1646
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 1: of people. I remember that White House corp White House

1647
01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 1: or was it the White House cor Respondence dinner where

1648
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:04,960
Speaker 1: Obama made a Trump joke or was it the other Yeah,

1649
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,479
Speaker 1: I think like the Smith dinner. I forget what it's called. Anyway,

1650
01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 1: they made a joke about Trump, you know what I'm

1651
01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, they made he made some joke about Trump.

1652
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:13,960
Speaker 1: Obama did, and Trump was just like, oh really, it

1653
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:17,880
Speaker 1: was the correspondence dinner. Yeah, that's right. And and Trump

1654
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:22,439
Speaker 1: was just like, oh really, oh really. And then later

1655
01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:24,920
Speaker 1: when he started to run, people were like, this is

1656
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:28,080
Speaker 1: all a publicity stunt. Well, clearly it wasn't. Because he's

1657
01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:30,759
Speaker 1: now the president of the United States. That just means

1658
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 1: that when you've got a celebrity, now whether it's Clooney

1659
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:38,600
Speaker 1: or Oprah or any of them. You are in a

1660
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:41,160
Speaker 1: position where you gotta at least look at it on

1661
01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:46,040
Speaker 1: the merits and say, okay, maybe maybe what would George

1662
01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:50,360
Speaker 1: Clooney be a formidable political candidate? I'm not sure, but

1663
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 1: I can't say definitely not because the guy looks like

1664
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:57,200
Speaker 1: a political candidate, which unfortunately means a lot these days

1665
01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:00,639
Speaker 1: because of our mass media environment. It's all chain so much,

1666
01:36:00,680 --> 01:36:03,800
Speaker 1: hasn't it. You know, did anybody in like eighteen eighty

1667
01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:06,320
Speaker 1: know what the president even looked like or sounded like.

1668
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:08,559
Speaker 1: I mean a few people did, but for the most part,

1669
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:11,479
Speaker 1: you voted for a platform. You have some rough idea

1670
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:13,639
Speaker 1: of what you know this guy or that guy stood for.

1671
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you heard him at a speech, you know. I

1672
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:18,679
Speaker 1: mean back in the day, the presidents were like doing

1673
01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:20,559
Speaker 1: their own dry cleaning, and it was a very different,

1674
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 1: very different environment. Now it's all about mass media. Now

1675
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:30,639
Speaker 1: it's all about the propaganda involved here, and uh, well,

1676
01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:32,840
Speaker 1: it's propagand if you think it's a bad thing, it's

1677
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:35,519
Speaker 1: just public relations. If you think it's a good thing,

1678
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:38,880
Speaker 1: but you have celebrities that are gonna increasingly get an

1679
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:41,120
Speaker 1: apolot there's no question about it. They're gonna get into politics.

1680
01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:46,439
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a result of Trump's success, just a

1681
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:50,840
Speaker 1: side effect, you could say, of a reality TV star

1682
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:54,080
Speaker 1: what she was, who is now the commander in chief

1683
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 1: and the leader of the free world. I don't think

1684
01:36:56,360 --> 01:36:59,360
Speaker 1: that j Law is gonna go quite in that direction,

1685
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:01,320
Speaker 1: but I'd be I'd be torn, you know, there's a

1686
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:02,880
Speaker 1: part of me that would be like, come on, Jay Law,

1687
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:04,960
Speaker 1: we can make you a conservative. Yet, although I'm sure,

1688
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure her politics are very progressive and annoying, and

1689
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm okay with some level of that. I'm all right

1690
01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:15,360
Speaker 1: with people that have their own beliefs and thoughts but

1691
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:19,280
Speaker 1: aren't too aggressive about mixing the platform they have for

1692
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:24,240
Speaker 1: one thing, in this case, acting with their political political

1693
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:27,559
Speaker 1: prescriptions for the rest of us. But we know that's

1694
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:29,360
Speaker 1: not how it goes That's not how it goes down.

1695
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:32,719
Speaker 1: They always they always try to, oh I'm at the oscars,

1696
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 1: let me make my political speech now, right, It's not

1697
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 1: like they're generally separating these things out. So we'll see

1698
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 1: Jane Law, Clooney, probably some others out there are going

1699
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:43,840
Speaker 1: to get into the game too. We'll see where all

1700
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:46,799
Speaker 1: this ghost team. Um, we're gonna talk to you about

1701
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:50,639
Speaker 1: stress in a moment. Got some thoughts on it. Stay

1702
01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:53,479
Speaker 1: with me. I like to share a little bit of

1703
01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:57,360
Speaker 1: wisdom that I've acquired in my thirty six years on

1704
01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 1: this earth. A lot of you were like, yeah, whipper snapper,

1705
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,360
Speaker 1: double that number and then listen to your wisdom. But nonetheless,

1706
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:05,920
Speaker 1: I think that I have picked up some things. Maybe

1707
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm sharing it for my my younger millennials, my not

1708
01:38:09,120 --> 01:38:12,960
Speaker 1: yet gray bearded millennial listeners, and some others. But one

1709
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,680
Speaker 1: of the things that I've I've come to understand as

1710
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:19,639
Speaker 1: I get older, is that it is on you as

1711
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:22,800
Speaker 1: an individual to figure out what works for you in

1712
01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:26,400
Speaker 1: terms of managing stress. I don't think there's nearly enough

1713
01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:29,519
Speaker 1: that is talked about. There's nearly enough talk in our

1714
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 1: society about this specific issue. And when you look at

1715
01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:38,000
Speaker 1: any number of ailments out there, you see that stress

1716
01:38:38,240 --> 01:38:42,240
Speaker 1: is a direct contributor and in some cases, I would

1717
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:45,040
Speaker 1: I would argue the root cause of some of the

1718
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 1: problems that you see out there. I mean, stress obviously goes.

1719
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:53,080
Speaker 1: Cardiac events are related to stress, and heart heart disease

1720
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:58,200
Speaker 1: and UH and cancer are still you know, the two

1721
01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:03,760
Speaker 1: big lethal diseases that we have to worry about in

1722
01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:07,880
Speaker 1: this country, but stresses in everyday life, and it's really

1723
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:09,960
Speaker 1: important to get a sense of how you can manage

1724
01:39:09,960 --> 01:39:12,120
Speaker 1: it yourself. I just I'm thinking about it because the

1725
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:14,680
Speaker 1: average American, according to this study that was linked up

1726
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:17,559
Speaker 1: on the Drudge Report today, the average American has sixty

1727
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:21,479
Speaker 1: bad days a year according to the survey, which means

1728
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 1: you spend two months a year thinking that you're having

1729
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:28,320
Speaker 1: a bad day. So it's it's more than just having

1730
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:31,760
Speaker 1: a case of the mondays, because that would be fifty two, right,

1731
01:39:32,240 --> 01:39:35,880
Speaker 1: So it's so you get you're averaging over we the

1732
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:40,639
Speaker 1: American people are averaging over one bad day each week.

1733
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 1: And eighty percent of those twenty four hour periods that

1734
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:48,280
Speaker 1: are ranked in this survey as stressful are from work

1735
01:39:48,360 --> 01:39:51,920
Speaker 1: related stress, which I would have assumed. There's other stuff

1736
01:39:51,960 --> 01:39:54,360
Speaker 1: too that are that are cited in the study illness,

1737
01:39:54,360 --> 01:40:00,280
Speaker 1: financial worries, feeling unclean or disheveled. Now, I've had some

1738
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:03,559
Speaker 1: days where I felt unclean or disheveled in the office

1739
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:06,479
Speaker 1: that ruined my day in my previous career before media,

1740
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 1: but I have to tell you that those were self

1741
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:12,719
Speaker 1: induced um, I had no one to blame but myself

1742
01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:15,640
Speaker 1: for wearing the same clothing to the office the next day.

1743
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:18,120
Speaker 1: The headache that I may or may not have been

1744
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:21,920
Speaker 1: nursing was the result of active decision making on my part.

1745
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:26,280
Speaker 1: And while I may have been in throbbing and lingering

1746
01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:30,040
Speaker 1: pain for the day at the office, in my earlier days,

1747
01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 1: sometimes it was worth it. I'm just saying there were

1748
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:34,680
Speaker 1: times when it was. It was an even trade off, right.

1749
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:37,959
Speaker 1: It's like misery at work, keeping the waste paper basket

1750
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:42,240
Speaker 1: close and still worth it, still worth it. Not anymore

1751
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:45,040
Speaker 1: now I'm like, oh my gosh, somebody, somebody tries to

1752
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:47,080
Speaker 1: get me to drink more than two glasses of anything.

1753
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh god, come on, what's going on here.

1754
01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:52,960
Speaker 1: I know I'm a I'm a lightweight, but it is

1755
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:54,720
Speaker 1: what it is. You got you gotta understand who you are.

1756
01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:57,759
Speaker 1: You know, know thyself to thine own self be true,

1757
01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:01,599
Speaker 1: said the buffoon halona Us in Hamlet. People always think

1758
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:03,559
Speaker 1: Hamlets said it. No, you know who you know who

1759
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:07,800
Speaker 1: corrected us as a country on that one share from Clueless.

1760
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,880
Speaker 1: That's why we all know that line now, see very

1761
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 1: important movie. So anyway, so you get sixty seven per

1762
01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 1: cent of an individual's uh se percent rather of an

1763
01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:23,639
Speaker 1: intervitor's dissatisfaction or any given day was related to sleep.

1764
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 1: You gotta get enough sleep. This is you know. My

1765
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:29,320
Speaker 1: parents told me this growing up all the time, and

1766
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:31,679
Speaker 1: they were totally right. And I would stay up super

1767
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:32,800
Speaker 1: late and then I have to get up. And I

1768
01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 1: remember going and going into my high school and just

1769
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:39,400
Speaker 1: feeling day after day like I was in some zombie

1770
01:41:39,439 --> 01:41:41,519
Speaker 1: state of about to fall over any minute. Its because

1771
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:43,040
Speaker 1: I didn't getenough of sleep. I go to bed, like

1772
01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:46,040
Speaker 1: to two o'clock in the morning. Mom's listening, She's like, really,

1773
01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 1: you're up that late. Yeah. Sometimes I would just stay up.

1774
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:51,799
Speaker 1: Parents are go to bed, like watch TV, watch HBO

1775
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:54,439
Speaker 1: at two am. There was some interesting stuff on HBO

1776
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 1: a two am. So anyway, I would stay up super late.

1777
01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:00,320
Speaker 1: It's really really bad for you. We all have this us.

1778
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:04,920
Speaker 1: We all have our our achilles heel, whether it's financial,

1779
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,360
Speaker 1: whether it's just dealing with workplace situations, or any number

1780
01:42:09,360 --> 01:42:11,439
Speaker 1: of things. How you manage it is one of the

1781
01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 1: most important things in life. It really is, I mean

1782
01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:20,360
Speaker 1: not important on an existential being, a virtuous, worthwhile person level.

1783
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:23,920
Speaker 1: But important on a how you're taking care of yourself,

1784
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:26,280
Speaker 1: and I finally taken care of yourself. It is so

1785
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:28,720
Speaker 1: very very important. I used to think certain things were

1786
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 1: maybe a little frivolous or oh no, no, no, You've

1787
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:36,439
Speaker 1: got to find what whether if you gotta get some

1788
01:42:36,520 --> 01:42:39,400
Speaker 1: outdoors time to paint, if you gotta watch birds, if

1789
01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:41,720
Speaker 1: you The main thing they talk about in here is

1790
01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:44,360
Speaker 1: actually getting to the gym, which I know all of

1791
01:42:44,439 --> 01:42:47,400
Speaker 1: us are like, uh gosh, I mean I have the

1792
01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:49,200
Speaker 1: same thing. I'm like, I gotta go to the gym.

1793
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:52,559
Speaker 1: I feel like a hamster on a wheel, a hamster

1794
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:55,280
Speaker 1: that you know shouldn't have eaten so many bacon cheeseburgers

1795
01:42:55,280 --> 01:43:00,200
Speaker 1: this week that all said, I've never left the him,

1796
01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:01,960
Speaker 1: and I always trying to remind myself of this. It's

1797
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:05,160
Speaker 1: like one of the struggles that I have day day

1798
01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:07,360
Speaker 1: to day. I've never gone to the gym and left

1799
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:09,040
Speaker 1: the gym, been like I wish I hadn't done that,

1800
01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 1: And yet and yet every day I'm like, I'm kind

1801
01:43:12,920 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 1: of tired. I got a lot of I got a

1802
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 1: radio show to get ready for. I don't think I

1803
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 1: really want to do this. Probably the most important single

1804
01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 1: stress relief you can do and and in fact, ah,

1805
01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:26,280
Speaker 1: sleeping is is critical, right, Sleeping is really really really essential.

1806
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:28,120
Speaker 1: And that means also if you have to take catchup

1807
01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:30,560
Speaker 1: naps the next day, twenty minute naps. They've done a

1808
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:33,160
Speaker 1: lot of study on it, really really important. You don't

1809
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:34,600
Speaker 1: have to call it a CS tho. We don't have

1810
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:36,479
Speaker 1: to make this some big cultural event, you know, it

1811
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:40,760
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily have to involve uz uzo and like lying

1812
01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 1: out in the sun by the beach, although that sounds

1813
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:45,120
Speaker 1: really nice actually now, but like it doesn't have to be.

1814
01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of Greek he has to the only place

1815
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:49,720
Speaker 1: I've ever really spent much time where they had that.

1816
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:52,720
Speaker 1: But um, the other thing that you should keep in

1817
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 1: mind is that for people actually who are older now,

1818
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:58,640
Speaker 1: they are finding more and more that weight bearing exercise

1819
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:05,200
Speaker 1: is critical, really good for your for your sense of

1820
01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:07,880
Speaker 1: well being, really good for your physical and for your

1821
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:10,760
Speaker 1: mental health. I think that we haven't yet made this

1822
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:13,120
Speaker 1: switch as a culture because people think of weight training

1823
01:44:13,200 --> 01:44:16,760
Speaker 1: generally as some guy who like has no knack who's

1824
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:18,920
Speaker 1: in the gym and is trying to lift some giant thing.

1825
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:21,519
Speaker 1: But it doesn't have to be heavyweights. But it's just

1826
01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 1: resistance training for older people. And so anybody fifty five

1827
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:29,840
Speaker 1: and above, resistance training means you're gonna be you know,

1828
01:44:30,560 --> 01:44:34,519
Speaker 1: limber and spry and energetic and on it longer. And

1829
01:44:34,560 --> 01:44:38,400
Speaker 1: the research on all this is very compelling. So and

1830
01:44:38,400 --> 01:44:42,320
Speaker 1: it also is really helpful for dealing with stress people.

1831
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:44,040
Speaker 1: And this survey also said they have a drink when

1832
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:47,720
Speaker 1: they're really stressed. You know, sometimes sometimes you've got to

1833
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:50,200
Speaker 1: sit back and have a a glass of whatever your

1834
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:53,080
Speaker 1: favorite is. You know, it's all about it's all about moderation.

1835
01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:55,719
Speaker 1: I believe the ancient Greeks referred to it as metron,

1836
01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:58,880
Speaker 1: a state of perfect balance. They tried to achieve this

1837
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:04,160
Speaker 1: in all things physically, philosophically. Oh yes, sometimes you just

1838
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 1: bring ancient Greece into a conversation because and I think

1839
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:10,960
Speaker 1: I just did that. But it is important to achieve balance.

1840
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:13,800
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, we're all stressed folks. We've all

1841
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:16,599
Speaker 1: got our stuff, family, stress, work, stress, everything else. If

1842
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:20,000
Speaker 1: you've got less than sixty rough days a year, you're

1843
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:22,800
Speaker 1: doing well. According to this study, most folks have about

1844
01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:27,040
Speaker 1: sixty bad days a year, and regardless of whether it's

1845
01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 1: a hundred bad days, or ten bad days. How you

1846
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 1: deal with them is just critical because I'm telling you know,

1847
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:37,719
Speaker 1: because constructive ways of relieving stress means you'll have fewer

1848
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 1: bad days. I don't care what the sign says in that,

1849
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:44,160
Speaker 1: I just know that that's true. So some some free

1850
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:48,680
Speaker 1: Graybeard millennial life wisdom on the show today. We are

1851
01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:51,040
Speaker 1: going to run into a quick break and we'll be

1852
01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 1: right back. Well. I tend not to talk about the

1853
01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:57,120
Speaker 1: weather here on the show because you've got a lot

1854
01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 1: of other radio stations that do that. But I'm just

1855
01:45:59,080 --> 01:46:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna gloat for us second that it is uh so

1856
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:06,680
Speaker 1: gorgeous right now in New York City. I think it's

1857
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:08,840
Speaker 1: in the high sixties right now. I mean it is.

1858
01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:12,760
Speaker 1: It is crazy warm in this town, which for this

1859
01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:16,800
Speaker 1: time of year feels is very very very unexpected. I'm

1860
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:19,160
Speaker 1: hoping that wherever you're listening across the country, you also

1861
01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:23,880
Speaker 1: maybe took the chance to go outside and see if

1862
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:27,840
Speaker 1: you could enjoy a little white zin. You know, yeah,

1863
01:46:27,880 --> 01:46:30,840
Speaker 1: at sixties six degrees here in New York, so you know,

1864
01:46:30,840 --> 01:46:33,320
Speaker 1: across the country, I'm assuming it's got to be pretty warming.

1865
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:36,080
Speaker 1: Some places, I think, oh yeah, we're getting crushed with

1866
01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:38,880
Speaker 1: like a winter storm in a couple of days. That

1867
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:41,439
Speaker 1: sounds about right. Yeah, that's what I thought. I was

1868
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:43,759
Speaker 1: all happy for a moment here. I was gonna maybe

1869
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:46,640
Speaker 1: go up to the roof of my building tonight. And

1870
01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:49,400
Speaker 1: it also makes me want to make snarky remarks about

1871
01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:52,479
Speaker 1: global warming. One of the problems that I've always had,

1872
01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:56,000
Speaker 1: Never mind the inaccuracies around the previous predictions and all

1873
01:46:56,040 --> 01:46:59,599
Speaker 1: the hysteria of people who are just so deeply, deeply

1874
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:05,800
Speaker 1: concerned earned with global warming, I'm still flabbergasted. Fun word

1875
01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:08,200
Speaker 1: that we should throw around more that when you ask

1876
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:10,800
Speaker 1: somebody of the stature of say Melinda Gates of the

1877
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 1: Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the richest people in the

1878
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:17,519
Speaker 1: world or in the top two or three. I think

1879
01:47:17,600 --> 01:47:20,479
Speaker 1: sometimes depending on how what kind of day Bezos is having,

1880
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:23,599
Speaker 1: he may be number one, but among the very richest

1881
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:26,439
Speaker 1: people in the world. And you ask Bill and the

1882
01:47:26,479 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 1: Lindia Gates with their biggest concern is and they're trying

1883
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 1: to deal with h diseases like malaria and others, and

1884
01:47:33,320 --> 01:47:35,640
Speaker 1: sure enough you'll find out that it is it is

1885
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:39,040
Speaker 1: climate change that is their number one concern. Speaking to

1886
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:40,960
Speaker 1: a friend of mine about this, earlier today. I just

1887
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:43,960
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it, he said there, and I'm like, wow,

1888
01:47:44,720 --> 01:47:49,040
Speaker 1: people at that level, with that access to expertise and

1889
01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:54,439
Speaker 1: knowledge and information, and sure enough, but it would be nice.

1890
01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:57,240
Speaker 1: Or the reason I bring this up is that much

1891
01:47:57,280 --> 01:48:00,800
Speaker 1: of the country would be in great shape if it

1892
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:04,240
Speaker 1: got an average of two or three degrees a year warmer.

1893
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:06,720
Speaker 1: And people say all the seas would rise. We got

1894
01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:09,720
Speaker 1: a lot of land will be all right. Land has

1895
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:14,080
Speaker 1: been shifting continuously, as we know, over time, and there

1896
01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:17,120
Speaker 1: is no such thing as a perfect temperature. There's no

1897
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 1: such thing as global homeostasis. To bring back a word

1898
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:23,759
Speaker 1: from anatomy class, which is your body trying to maintain

1899
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:28,719
Speaker 1: an equilibrium homeostasis. It's fun to throw it out there sometimes, like, hey,

1900
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:33,559
Speaker 1: how are you feeling? I hit my homeostasis today. Oh really,

1901
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:36,800
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, I did. Anyway, it's warm here.

1902
01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:40,040
Speaker 1: It's not global warming, but it will be fine with

1903
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 1: me if it were. Uh. So there you have it,

1904
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:46,960
Speaker 1: all right, Let's get to some Let's get some roll call. Please,

1905
01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:52,760
Speaker 1: Team Buck, it's time for roll call. I love our

1906
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:57,960
Speaker 1: voiceover guy. His voice is awesome roll call. So let's

1907
01:48:57,960 --> 01:49:02,880
Speaker 1: get it going here. Uh, Daniel writes in with the following, Hey, Buck,

1908
01:49:03,439 --> 01:49:05,719
Speaker 1: are there going to be more episodes of Shields High?

1909
01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 1: The fourth step fourth episode was the last one I

1910
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:11,679
Speaker 1: listened to back in January. I've been itching to hear more, Daniel.

1911
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,360
Speaker 1: The answer is yes. The problem is there's just not

1912
01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:17,519
Speaker 1: enough Buck to go around these days. I'm I'm running ragged,

1913
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:19,400
Speaker 1: as they say, trying to keep up with all my

1914
01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:23,439
Speaker 1: various responsibilities and obligations. And Shields High as a labor

1915
01:49:23,479 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 1: of love. I just put it out there because I

1916
01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:29,720
Speaker 1: like it and and you have asked for it, and

1917
01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:33,240
Speaker 1: that's why we It's a it's an additional product that

1918
01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:35,320
Speaker 1: we've done here in the Freedom Hunt, and it's just

1919
01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:38,240
Speaker 1: out there for people to listen to and folks to

1920
01:49:38,360 --> 01:49:40,439
Speaker 1: enjoy and who believe in the brand. I'm actually gonna

1921
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:43,040
Speaker 1: be speaking to a friend this week, someone I work with,

1922
01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:45,200
Speaker 1: about whether we might be able to find an even

1923
01:49:45,240 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 1: better home for it on buck Sexton dot com, and

1924
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:50,400
Speaker 1: the idea being that then I could also add links

1925
01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:53,320
Speaker 1: and reading material and make it a really more fully

1926
01:49:53,360 --> 01:49:59,400
Speaker 1: interactive experienced photos and or really paintings, not photos of paintings. Right,

1927
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:01,680
Speaker 1: there's no photo graphs that I know of in the

1928
01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:05,760
Speaker 1: fifteenth century at least. Uh no photographs back then, and

1929
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:09,160
Speaker 1: uh yeah, So thank you for your your question about it,

1930
01:50:09,200 --> 01:50:11,559
Speaker 1: and I know I'm I really enjoy doing it too.

1931
01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:13,160
Speaker 1: But as you can imagine, it takes up quite a

1932
01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:14,880
Speaker 1: bit of time. And the more you guys spread it

1933
01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:16,840
Speaker 1: around we look at the numbers, the more folks listen

1934
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:19,640
Speaker 1: to it and and share it and interest there is

1935
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:22,400
Speaker 1: the easier days for me to ask the bosses here

1936
01:50:22,439 --> 01:50:26,479
Speaker 1: to let me devote time and resources to it. Glenn,

1937
01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:30,599
Speaker 1: Glenn is the next up at bad Here Netflix, Amazon

1938
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:36,559
Speaker 1: suggestion Longmire is great, but have you tried Justified? Timothy

1939
01:50:36,600 --> 01:50:41,400
Speaker 1: Oliphant is the star, although the co star, Walton Googin's

1940
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:45,080
Speaker 1: his character Boyd, is great. I think it is on

1941
01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:47,600
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. Yes, I can tell you, Glenn, I have

1942
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:51,280
Speaker 1: tried Justified. I got a few episodes in and did

1943
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:54,680
Speaker 1: not finish it for reasons that I cannot think of

1944
01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:58,719
Speaker 1: right now. I probably just got distracted with something else. Um,

1945
01:50:58,760 --> 01:51:00,679
Speaker 1: but I've heard very good things and what I saw

1946
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:02,679
Speaker 1: was very good, so I'll probably go back and check

1947
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:05,680
Speaker 1: it out again. It had a great pilot, which is

1948
01:51:05,720 --> 01:51:08,880
Speaker 1: so essential both in getting a show made from a

1949
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:13,000
Speaker 1: production standpoint, and then in drawing people in to listen

1950
01:51:13,080 --> 01:51:16,840
Speaker 1: to it. Uh. Next we get Michael here with oh,

1951
01:51:16,840 --> 01:51:19,400
Speaker 1: but thank you, I would not for the for the suggestion.

1952
01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 1: Miss Molly and I are are going back and forth

1953
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:25,679
Speaker 1: now between the marvelous Mrs Mazel, which I highly recommend, Brandon,

1954
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:28,360
Speaker 1: uh and Mike. But Mike's not here right now in

1955
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:32,160
Speaker 1: the room. Have you seen it? No, I'm telling you

1956
01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:34,640
Speaker 1: that you have Netflix right yeah. Oh no, it's on

1957
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:37,240
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. Do you have Amazon Prime? No? See, that's

1958
01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:40,519
Speaker 1: the thing I would recommend the marvelous Mrs Mazel to

1959
01:51:40,560 --> 01:51:43,920
Speaker 1: any of you are listening. It's Uh, it's fun for me,

1960
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:45,640
Speaker 1: especially because a lot of it is filmed in and

1961
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:48,719
Speaker 1: around places I know in New York City. Ah. Then

1962
01:51:48,760 --> 01:51:52,599
Speaker 1: there's also Ozark, which I'm liking more than I thought

1963
01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 1: I would. If you liked Breaking Bad, as I said,

1964
01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:57,760
Speaker 1: you have to check out Ozark. I really should get

1965
01:51:57,800 --> 01:52:00,559
Speaker 1: like Netflix to sponsor the show. I'm like a Netflix fiend,

1966
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:04,000
Speaker 1: old books, Netflix and take out food. That's pretty much

1967
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:07,240
Speaker 1: the center of my fun wheelhouse. That's that's what gets

1968
01:52:07,320 --> 01:52:11,120
Speaker 1: me going. Oh and coffee, of course, black rifle coffee.

1969
01:52:11,520 --> 01:52:13,880
Speaker 1: I feel like garths sometimes in Wayne's World, when he's

1970
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:16,519
Speaker 1: got the spot, he's got all the sponsor gear on. Yeah,

1971
01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:19,080
Speaker 1: that's right. We were in bed. You need copeat sponsors.

1972
01:52:19,120 --> 01:52:21,559
Speaker 1: He's covered in reebok And that's one of the great

1973
01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:24,080
Speaker 1: Waynes World is a great movie too. Um, but I

1974
01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:26,639
Speaker 1: do drink black rifle. I love it, and I love coffee.

1975
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:31,760
Speaker 1: Next up here is James. Um. I've been solving New

1976
01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:35,280
Speaker 1: York Times styled cross words for about four decades. One

1977
01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:39,320
Speaker 1: of the most frequently used abbreviations uh in the grades

1978
01:52:39,479 --> 01:52:43,960
Speaker 1: is n r A. Clueing comes off as Second Amendment defenders,

1979
01:52:44,120 --> 01:52:49,200
Speaker 1: Warren Lapierre's organization, peace loving Group, etcetera. I've practically written

1980
01:52:49,200 --> 01:52:51,439
Speaker 1: in n r A over three to five written in

1981
01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:54,759
Speaker 1: pardon me, over three to five thousand times in the grids.

1982
01:52:55,520 --> 01:52:57,760
Speaker 1: That's that seems like a lot. So my question to

1983
01:52:57,800 --> 01:53:00,120
Speaker 1: you is can I expect to see n r A

1984
01:53:00,200 --> 01:53:03,559
Speaker 1: reclude or use less often in the puzzles? Why can't

1985
01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:05,559
Speaker 1: the New York Times be more likely more like the

1986
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:11,479
Speaker 1: daily twenty square inches of decency of plumb, thought, provoking, ingenuity, etcetera. Uh,

1987
01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:14,799
Speaker 1: great job on your show, Buck and shields high, James,

1988
01:53:14,800 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 1: I have a confession to make. I have never done

1989
01:53:17,920 --> 01:53:22,080
Speaker 1: a crossword puzzle in a newspaper I think. Ever, it's

1990
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:24,320
Speaker 1: actually just not something I've ever done. So I have

1991
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:28,040
Speaker 1: no knowledge, background, or insight to offer on this whatsoever.

1992
01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm just not a crossword puzzle guy. I did play

1993
01:53:32,080 --> 01:53:35,240
Speaker 1: some chess growing up, so I enjoyed chess, and I'm

1994
01:53:35,439 --> 01:53:38,280
Speaker 1: better at chess than I let on. I always downplay,

1995
01:53:38,360 --> 01:53:40,519
Speaker 1: like I can barely play because I like to hustle people.

1996
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 1: You could call me a chess shark. That means that

1997
01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:48,479
Speaker 1: you know I wear like a shiny leather, shiny leather

1998
01:53:48,600 --> 01:53:51,840
Speaker 1: vest and a pocket protector at the same time. Yeah,

1999
01:53:51,920 --> 01:53:55,640
Speaker 1: what's up, chess shark? Uh? But anyway, I was I

2000
01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 1: was thinking of one of those those jackets that people

2001
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:01,439
Speaker 1: used to wear and like the seventies that are I

2002
01:54:01,479 --> 01:54:03,080
Speaker 1: don't know, I is it vinyl. I don't know if

2003
01:54:03,080 --> 01:54:05,240
Speaker 1: it's whatever it is. I was trying to, like, like

2004
01:54:05,439 --> 01:54:07,719
Speaker 1: with the wide collar and the big chain and everything

2005
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 1: with leisures. Yeah, like a leaser, So I got a

2006
01:54:09,960 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 1: leaser shoe. Well, lease your suit while I'm playing chess.

2007
01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:15,680
Speaker 1: So therefore I also wear my pocket protector because I

2008
01:54:15,680 --> 01:54:19,120
Speaker 1: don't want to get ink stains in my shirt pocket. Yeah.

2009
01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:25,240
Speaker 1: Next up we have uh Jen who is Oh? Jen

2010
01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:27,200
Speaker 1: is asking me if I can do an interview for

2011
01:54:27,240 --> 01:54:31,479
Speaker 1: her international TV news outlet. Well, um, I don't know, Jen.

2012
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:33,600
Speaker 1: I just saw this now, so let me get back

2013
01:54:33,600 --> 01:54:35,880
Speaker 1: to you in a few minutes. I don't even know

2014
01:54:35,920 --> 01:54:38,440
Speaker 1: what this is, what this is talking about. I'll have

2015
01:54:38,480 --> 01:54:41,240
Speaker 1: to check this. Sometimes this happens, folks. Producers reach out

2016
01:54:41,280 --> 01:54:44,680
Speaker 1: to you on Facebook and they're like, hey, you want

2017
01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:46,680
Speaker 1: to come to The BBC tends to do that. So

2018
01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:49,320
Speaker 1: whenever I see the BBC writing me on Facebook, it's like, hey,

2019
01:54:49,320 --> 01:54:52,160
Speaker 1: they missed Sexton. Just wondering perhaps you could give us

2020
01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:54,440
Speaker 1: five minutes of your time to come on the radio

2021
01:54:54,480 --> 01:54:57,800
Speaker 1: show later. We're hoping you can give this a former

2022
01:54:58,280 --> 01:55:04,120
Speaker 1: Central Intelligence age see Perspective on the following I'm all

2023
01:55:04,200 --> 01:55:07,800
Speaker 1: BBC emails are read in my head in that voice.

2024
01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:12,400
Speaker 1: That's how I just assume that's how they go. So, oh,

2025
01:55:12,480 --> 01:55:15,280
Speaker 1: here we go. Paul Paul's writing into chied me a

2026
01:55:15,320 --> 01:55:18,080
Speaker 1: little bit. That's okay, Paul, remember the team you can.

2027
01:55:18,520 --> 01:55:22,040
Speaker 1: I want friendly and constructive criticism to just not all

2028
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:26,520
Speaker 1: caps profane criticism. But Paul writes in in very very

2029
01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:29,600
Speaker 1: friendly manner. Change the narrative, Buck, quit talking about the

2030
01:55:29,680 --> 01:55:34,840
Speaker 1: Russian collusion, and start talking about the Trump economic success. Paul.

2031
01:55:34,880 --> 01:55:37,160
Speaker 1: I certainly try to do that, and I will keep

2032
01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:40,240
Speaker 1: trying to do that. So let's just say that I

2033
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:44,840
Speaker 1: appreciate the helpful reminder. Without my friends, Freedom Hunt is

2034
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:47,360
Speaker 1: closing up for the day. Thank you, as always for
