1 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,319 Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hunt. CNN is in the 2 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: midst of a seven hour climate change extravaganza of insanity. 3 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that and also the latest on Walmart 4 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: caving to the far left on guns. There's also now 5 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: going to be a renewed discussion over universal background checks. 6 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: We got that and much more coming up on The 7 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show, where 8 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: the mission or mission is to decode what really matters 9 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: with actionable intelligence. Mag No mistake, America, You're a great 10 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: American Again. The buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst, Remember an 11 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: unprecedented Democratic Prince sinential town hall event, climate crisis, Biden, 12 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: Warren Sanders, Paris, boot Y, Yang Castro, ten candidates, ten 13 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: town halls, all on one night, tonight, five Eastern, seven 14 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: hours of climate change madness. Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. 15 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: Everybody tonight, Yang Cloba, Shore, Biden, if he remembers to 16 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: show up, it's amazing. It's amazing. Seven hours. I mean, 17 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: if we made detainees watch this CNN climate change town hall, 18 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it would be a violation of a 19 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: Geneva convention. Like I think there's a real case to 20 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: be made that being forced to watch this CNN climate 21 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: change town hall under any circumstances might be a crime 22 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: against humanity. You can't make this stuff up seven hours now. 23 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: I know that they expect those are all, but we're aren't, 24 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, expecting people. No, No, I'm sure there's some 25 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: CNN people like I need to watch all of this 26 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: otherwise the climate's just going to destroy us all. Wow, 27 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: that does feel a bit like there might be some 28 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: exploitative timing here as well, with a hurricane that is 29 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: just shy of being a category three. Now it's a 30 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: category two, but very close to being a three, and 31 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: it has strengthened in the last few hours to propagate 32 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: this narrative that what we are doing is the cause 33 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: that we are the cause of this destruction. Our activity, 34 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: meaning our economic day to day activity, is the reason 35 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: that this is befalling us. You have to just marvel 36 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: at the disconnect from reality that liberals are engaged in here, 37 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: and just also seven hours. As if that wasn't enough, MSNBC, oh, 38 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: that's right. They want to get in on this action too. 39 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: They announced earlier today Climate Forum twenty twenty, a two 40 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: day event featuring the twenty twenty presidential democrats. Now to this, 41 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: I just want to say, excuse me, MSNBC, but if 42 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: you really cared about climate change, wouldn't your two day 43 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: climate change event be more like a week? Oh? I'm sorry, 44 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: don't have enough time to save the world. What a oh, 45 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: what a bunch of what a bunch of lunacy. This 46 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: is Andrew Yang, who has some good somebody I shouldn't 47 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: say he doesn't have good ideas. He has interesting ideas. 48 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: You know, Andrew Yang is the guy who's like, you know, like, 49 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: you know, maybe we could build you know, I don't know, 50 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: maybe we could build a sports stadium the floats in 51 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: the air, and we're all like, oh interesting, probably really 52 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: expensive and can't work. But you know, you like to 53 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: debate and discuss some of the things that he puts 54 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: out there. And he also comes across like a reasonably earnest, 55 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: nice guy, so you know he's not mean. You know, 56 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: he comes across as really mean to me all the time. 57 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: Is boodha judge. I just seems mean, never seems to 58 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: smile and make a joke, do anything even vaguely funny 59 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: and self aware. He's just always like lecturing everybody, and 60 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: especially about the Bible, which he has a seemingly loose 61 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: familiarity with. But Yang wants a carbon tax of forty 62 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: to one hundred dollars per ton. This is just this 63 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: is just a massive, a massive government takeover of whole 64 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: sectors of the economy. That's all. That's all that's going 65 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: to happen. That's what's going to come from this. You know, 66 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: that's going to be the reality. And they're going to 67 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: try to enrich themselves here. I mean, they're going to 68 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: try to enrich government coffers by telling you that the 69 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: world is going to end. You know, I'm looking at 70 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: and they all release their climate change proposals in advance 71 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: of this whole town hall thing, right, and these candidates 72 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: you look at them, it's all the same, because what 73 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: are you really going to say, other than let's abandoned prosperity. 74 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: Let's abandon what has brought more people as a function 75 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: of technology and the impact on our day to day lives. 76 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: Fossil fuels have done more to bring people out of poverty. 77 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: And because also you have to see the system of 78 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: capitalism that we have is built upon industrialized economies that 79 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: rely on fossil fuels. So really, the attack on CO 80 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: two such as it is, is an attack on capitalism, 81 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: which is why there's so much crossover with Marxist rhetoric 82 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: and thinking with all of it. But yeah, Yang's up there. 83 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: I mean, clubush are all of them, And you know, 84 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats in the audience, I really wish that I 85 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: could sit down with them, one after the other. I'm 86 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: talking about the people that watch this and say to them, 87 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: you really, you really believe that the world is going 88 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: to that the whole cities will be underwater. You know, 89 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: these are people, mind you that make fun of anybody 90 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: who reads the Bible for the most part and says, oh, 91 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: you believe that this thing happened, you know, two thousand 92 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: years ago or three thousand years ago, and you know 93 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: in ancient Israel and at all that they Meanwhile, they're 94 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: the ones that think that because AOC claims that cow 95 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: farts are doing too much damage to the atmosphere, we're 96 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: all going to be threatened with extinction if we don't 97 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: decide to radically upend the economy all the things that 98 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: have brought us comfort and food and travel and air conditioning. 99 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: Let's let's make that much more expensive, which means much 100 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: more inaccessible, much more inefficient, and let's do it all 101 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: because the people that keep telling us we're running out 102 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: of time are extending the time. Whenever we've run out 103 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: of the time. They said we didn't have seven hour 104 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: town halls, you know, I mean, this is this is 105 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: what you expect because this is this is turned into 106 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: a radical belief. It has gone from something that is 107 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: in the background and now it is. It is a necessary, 108 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: a necessary precondition for being a Democrat, for being a 109 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: leftist in good standing, you must support abortion, you must 110 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: support climate change, and increasingly you must support open borders. 111 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: But climate change is an absolute Now you are not allowed. 112 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: You cannot be a heretic on this and be in 113 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: good sending with the left because they have so much 114 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: riding on this. They really do view this as a 115 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: way to seize more power in your life via the 116 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: government than would have ever been thought possible before. I mean, 117 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: they're trying to create a benevolent Green East totalitarian society. 118 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: That's why they're having a seven hour town hall at 119 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: CNN and a two day town hall at MSNBC. We've 120 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: got more on this day with me. The hurricane. We 121 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: got lucky in Florida, very very lucky. Indeed, we had 122 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: actually our original chart was that it was going to 123 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: be hit hitting Florida's directly. Maybe I could just see that, Kevin, 124 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: it was going to be hitting directly, and I would 125 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: have affected a lot of other states. But that was 126 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: the original chart, and you see it was going to 127 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: hit not only Florida, but Georgia could have was going 128 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: toward the Gulf. That was what we what was originally projected, 129 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: and it took a right turn and ultimately hopefully we're 130 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: going to be lucky. It depends on what happens with 131 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: South Carolina, North Carolina, but it's heading up the coast. 132 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: The President giving an update there on the US mainland 133 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: damage of Hurricane Dorian, as he was saying, it looks 134 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: like Florida did not get hit his badly as could 135 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: have been the case. The Bahamas got hit very hard though, 136 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: and you know, the footage of that devastation is just 137 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: it's a reminder of the power of Mother Nature despite 138 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: all of our technological advances, also that the world is 139 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: still a very uncertain and can be a very dangerous 140 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: and unforgiving place. And you think about the Bahamas, a 141 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: locale generally associated in most people's minds with paradise. That's 142 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: where they go to get away from all their problems. 143 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: And then you see what's happened to the people who 144 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: live there, Bahamians, and it's just it's heartbreaking. Home's gone. 145 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: I think there's one I think on Grand Bahama Island. 146 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: If I read correctly today, half of structures are either 147 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: gone or severely damaged, which is just an astonishing number. 148 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: Will hopefully beginning them aid as quickly as possible. I 149 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: know that there are some states in the southeastern United 150 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: States that are also facing this thing, and just want 151 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: everyone down there to know, you know, you're in our prayers, 152 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: and please just air on the side of caution. You know. 153 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: I always feel like it's easy to tell people, oh, 154 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: just listen to the authorities. Well, you know, you know, 155 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: as a conservative, I'm always also saying, you understand your situation. 156 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: You have the ability to improvise at the local level, 157 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: especially for yourself and your family, that no government could 158 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: ever have. But you should take into account the warnings 159 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: and the assessments that are given to you. And I 160 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: think that err on the side of caution is just 161 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: a good, a good rule when dealing with storms. And 162 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: I remember here in New York City a number of 163 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: times getting ready for very big storms and people had 164 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: we had all this water on hand, and you know, 165 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: once or twice it turned out to just be a 166 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: pretty windy rain storm. And then there was Hurricane Sandy, 167 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: which was the big one that people had been worried 168 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: about for some time. But any my thoughts and prayers 169 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: everybody down there and the southeast United States, and we 170 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: will keep following the story as this goes through the week. 171 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: One other part of the new cycle that is getting 172 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: very little attention this week. I mean, I told you 173 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: yesterday about the story of the labor department labor department 174 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: employee who was fired and was fired because of what 175 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: is a really a false and defamatory allegation from a 176 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: lib reporter at Bloomberg. The border wall is getting built. 177 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: This this is going to happen. There is going to 178 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: be new border wall construction. Now, there could be some 179 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: challenges in the courts, but here's what the here's what 180 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: the president president says about this appropriation of funds from 181 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,479 Speaker 1: within the DoD budget. It was a few billion dollars presidents. 182 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: This if this goes forward, folks, this is delivering or 183 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: at least in the process of delivering on a promise. 184 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: And the wall is being built. It's going up rapidly. 185 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: It's I guess most of you have been able to 186 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: We're building very large sections of wall. It's a big 187 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: factor was we just won the big Supreme Court case, 188 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: as you know, and we we're building in different sections. 189 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: We're building different sections simultaneously, and we think by the 190 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: end of next year, which will be sometime right after 191 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: the election, actually, but we think we're going to have 192 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: close to five hundred miles of wall which will be complete. 193 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: That'll be what we wanted to do, is about five 194 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: hundred miles that will take care of all of the 195 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: areas that we wanted, including some of the marginal areas 196 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: that we didn't necessarily need. But if we could have 197 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: gotten it done, we were looking to do about a 198 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: five hundred mile stretch. We should have it almost complete, 199 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: if not complete, by the end of next year. By 200 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: the end of next year, just in time for the 201 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: American people to assess whether President Trump keeps his promises. 202 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: It is essential and I really, I really think this 203 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: needs to be emphasized that is essential that the president 204 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: deliver on the promise of building a wall at the 205 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: southern border. He was mocked for this endlessly by his opponents, 206 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: including a lot of Republican opponents, really all of them. 207 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: In the early days, he has been ridiculed on this 208 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: matter in the press. Even though I've spoken to border patrol, 209 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: been down to the border. They think that wall in 210 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: a lot of areas is very helpful. And all the 211 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: border patrol officers that I've spoken to are quite supportive 212 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: of President Trump. That's including border patrol that has about 213 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: a twenty five percent of border patrol or veterans and 214 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: about thirty percent I believe or Latino and they're all 215 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: very supportive of President Trump's overall approach to the border. 216 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: Feelings in the border, and you know, they understand what 217 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: the mission said is and what's going on down there. 218 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: But this is big. I mean, if he can get 219 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: if he can get even a up one hundred miles 220 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: of wall built, now, it's going to be challenging the courts. 221 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: It's going to be challenged the courts. I have to wonder, though, 222 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: at what point, uh, you know, at what point is 223 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: the executive branch going to say that, you know, we're 224 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: not going to be constrained in day to day actions 225 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: that are within our purview by a solitary federal judge 226 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: somewhere that you know, you're gonna have a universal injunction 227 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: from some judge who's gonna say you can't do this. 228 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: Federal government's not allowed to all the things one judge 229 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: and to say sorry, you know, I I gotta wonder 230 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: at what point, at what point does the administration say, Okay, 231 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: we'll see you in court, but we're we're not going 232 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: to we are not going to concede that a federal judge. 233 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: You know, what if a federal judge says that the 234 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: president's uh, you're not allowed, not allowed to sign a bill, 235 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: not allowed to sign bills anymore, you know, the president 236 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: under some interpretation of the Procedure Act, you know, the 237 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: president's not allowed to sign a any more laws. Sorry, 238 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: Is the executive branch going to respect that and say, yeah, sure, 239 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: the President's not the president anymore? What if a federal 240 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: judge says that the that the president United States, all 241 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: of the laws passed while he's in office, everything he 242 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: signed is null and void because he's not really the 243 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: president because of Russia collusion. I mean, federal judge could 244 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: could take that opinion. I mean they've they've taken opinions 245 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: that are obviously wrong on other matters of executive branch 246 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: activity under Trump. So what happens then, is the administration 247 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: really obligated to just say, yeah, you know what, you're right? 248 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: Not even and I'm not saying that they just ignore entirely. 249 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: They go to court, but you know, pending pending review 250 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: is no longer going to just be okay, you say, 251 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: we can't do this, So let's wait nine months, let's 252 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: wait a year as this makes its way through the courts, 253 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: so that a higher court not packed with Obama appointed lunatics, 254 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: you know, leftist uh, leftist activists in judges robes, is 255 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: not in place to just say yeah, sure, you know, 256 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: we're hashtag resistance. You know. I think at some point 257 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: the administration gets gets to a level or they say, um, sorry, 258 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're gonna we'll meet you in court 259 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: on this one, and if we're found to have overstep, 260 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: we'll stop. But you cannot tie the hands of the 261 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: executive branch on any matter you want, for pure for 262 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: pure political spite just because you happen to be a 263 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: federal judge. And you know, maybe maybe this, maybe what 264 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying isn't the answer. But if that's not the answer, 265 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: then you know what has to be the answer. Start 266 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: impeaching federal judges. You got to start having consequences for 267 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: the lawlessness of left wing judges on the bench who clearly, 268 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: and you see it, an opinion after opinion, and they 269 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: can overturned time and again, clearly view their role as 270 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: stopping Trump from enacting policy and using his executive authority. 271 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: And that's not their job. So if they are betraying 272 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: their offices, they're betraying the power entrusted to them as 273 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: federal judges by viewing their role as hashtag resistance in 274 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: judges robes. And you're going to see it on this 275 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: wall because you know, it's it's not the wall so 276 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: much that bothers the Libs. It's that tramp, although it 277 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: does it does certainly bother them. And also keep in 278 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: mind that once that thing goes up and illegal crossings 279 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: go down in sector after sector. Let's just remind ourselves 280 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: of how many journalists wolves don't work. Wolves don't work. 281 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: The dumbest talking point you've ever heard in your life, 282 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: were repeated ad nauseum on CNN and MSNBC. But there 283 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: must be consequences for this judicial activism that's meant to 284 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: just stymy Trump. They are terrified, really, I mean the Democrats, 285 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: the left are terrified that Trump will follow through on 286 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: this promise, proving that their claims that he was it 287 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: was all a fraud. He never intended to build a wall, 288 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: and that he was just going to betray his base 289 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: was wrong, that they were, that they were wrong, and 290 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 1: perhaps they were lying. So that's why they, for political 291 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: reasons for winning in twenty twenty, they're going to do 292 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: everything they can to stop construction of this wall because 293 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: if Trump, if he in my mind, if Trump follows 294 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: through on this promise, he could withstand anything for reelection, 295 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: including a recession. I think if he gets the wall built, 296 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: he could even get reelected if we hit a recession. 297 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: That's how important this is. Right back, there is no 298 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: divide among scientists. Less than two percent of climate scientists 299 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: are skeptical about climate change. We have twelve years from 300 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen until twenty and thirty to either address this 301 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: or if we're going to have a versable damage. There 302 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: is a growing danger that the ice cap will melt 303 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: in Greenland and we will have you know, there won't 304 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: be a big ice cap in the summer UH, and 305 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: that the net result of that is that we're going 306 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: to have a rise in sea levels UH that will 307 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: be significant coming from Greenland and added to other sources 308 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: of new new water, higher water, we could have cities 309 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: in the United States engulfed UH and floods or or 310 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: gergen um or a climate change from Nixon, Ford and Reagan, Melton, 311 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: Greenland and were gurgling gurgan over there at sea and 312 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, he's a he's a climate 313 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: change guy. Climate climate catastrophe, climate crisis. I think that's 314 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: what they've settled on more recently. I pose this to 315 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: you again. I think any fair minded person could ask 316 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: this question and would have the same reaction I did 317 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: to it, which is, how how crazy are they allowed 318 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: to get before we can just tell them that we're 319 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: not We're not going to listen to this anymore. Cities 320 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,959 Speaker 1: are going to be underwater. Why would anyone believe that 321 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: by the time the cities would actually be underwater? I mean, yeah, 322 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: in five hundred years and five thousand years. I don't know. Maybe, 323 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: but then we'll have you know, floating floating buildings or something, 324 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: or you know, or we'll have a way to create 325 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: giant hair dryers in a thousand years that basically like 326 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: mop up all the excess moisture. Who knows, you don't know. 327 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: Maybe my giant hair dryer ideas probably about as sound 328 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: as the science from that movie Armageddon. I don't want 329 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: to clothe my eyes. You don't talking about Mark. You 330 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: saw that one, that's right, the animals, the animal crackers scene. 331 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: We all remember it. So uh yeah, man, I look, 332 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: Gergan's over there. Everyone has to has to march to 333 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: the same crazy climate tune over there or shittys under 334 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: irreversible dammers. They were saying this ten years ago, there's 335 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: like this ten years before that. How many times we 336 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: have to go through a ten years cycle? And they're wrong. 337 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: And even if we did everything that they think they 338 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: want to do, it wouldn't do anything unless you're going 339 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: to invade India and China and tell them to stop carbonizing. 340 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's another part of this, the restriction on 341 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: wealth creation in the third world, that you have to 342 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: be okay with In order to make a serious dent 343 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: in CO two emissions, I mean, to really turn around 344 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: CO two emissions, you would have to tell the third world, hey, 345 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to go through the same processes of 346 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: wealth creation and the attendant prosperity for your people that 347 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: we did in the developed world. Oh and so they're 348 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: aware of this, and that's why I guess what we 349 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: start doing Global Marxism, the redistribution of wealth from the 350 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: First world as penance, as a as a form of 351 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: it's like in indulgence back in the day in the 352 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 1: Catholic Church, right, we would pay off the third world 353 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: because we've gotten so rich putting all this CO two 354 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: in the air, which is now I mean just that 355 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: they call CO two, which is a naturally occurring gas, 356 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: which is a small percentage of the overall atmosphere. I 357 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: think it's less than I don't want to say it. 358 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: It's definitely less than two percent, and I don't want 359 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: to say what the exact numbers off the top of 360 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: my heads. I forget Producer Mark, tell me how much 361 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: CO two? What percentage of our atmosphere is? In fact? 362 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: CO two, if you would please, because I'll lose my 363 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: train of thought otherwise. But these these changes in the designation, 364 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: that changes in the rhetoric. You know, this is all. 365 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: This is all because they keep getting it wrong and 366 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: they have to come up with a new This is 367 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: narrative creation in real time. And I just when it 368 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: comes to individuals changing their behavior. You know, I I 369 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: am forced by the City of New York. I know 370 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: you guys get I get so bitter about this, but 371 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: I hate recycling. I freaking hate recycling. It's so stupid. 372 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: It is such a waste of everybody's time. But there 373 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: I am washing out my milk, my milk carton and 374 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: like putting it in the recycling band of blah BLI 375 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. Way, what is the CEO two? 376 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: It seems like less than one percent? Okay, I said 377 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: less than two Yeah, less than one percent. There we go, 378 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: Thank you, producer mark less than one percent of the the atmosphere. 379 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: We really think that a minor percentage change and less 380 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: than one percent of the world's atmosphere is worth All 381 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: of this, all this uh you know, a hubbub, All 382 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: this all this noise from the left, I mean, CNN 383 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: is is like doing the equivalent of reading war and 384 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: Peace in its entirety on air, except it's about the climate, 385 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 1: and we are basing this on what exactly. The people 386 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: that are the most vocal about it won't even change 387 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: their own behavior. Look at what they do. I think 388 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: it was recently one of the you know, the British 389 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: Royal family, and I think all that British Royal family 390 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: stuff is ridiculous. I know people get all, oh, but 391 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 1: but they're so fancy and they're like a part of 392 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: a tradition for UK and all this other it's so no, no, 393 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,479 Speaker 1: I'm not into it. I don't like it. It's weird. 394 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: Not into monarchies. Um, not into people hiring family members either, 395 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: but uh, you know for political from elected office. But anyway, 396 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: there's that's a conversation for another time. Uh. This stuff 397 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: that people like David Gergen is saying is just manifestly 398 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: in saying, but this is what is expected of you, 399 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: this is what you're told to do. I will say 400 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: that there's a there's a we need a climate, and 401 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 1: maybe this would be the But the problem is if 402 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: I wrote this book, they would say, first of all, 403 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: I have to take time off from doing things like 404 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: this show, which I love. So that's a no one 405 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: has really written on the right, and someone's going to 406 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: send me a link to a book that has ten 407 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: Amazon reviews and has been read by like thirty people. 408 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: So please don't do that. Okay, I can do an 409 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: Amazon search too. On climate change, no one has written 410 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: the equipped, the game changing conservative perspective on climate change 411 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: in book form. Yet, you know, no, we need we 412 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: need a an inconvenient truth from the right. You know, 413 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: we need something that becomes a cultural and political phenomenon 414 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: that is the argument against this crazy that will reach everyone, 415 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: that everyone can understand and work with and and rely 416 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 1: on for the facts that it presents, but also the 417 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,239 Speaker 1: argument that it makes. We don't really have that, you know. 418 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: You you see, here's a examples you have, you know, 419 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: Jonah Goldberg with liberal fascism. I mean that book, all 420 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: of a sudden people realize, Hold on a second, the 421 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,880 Speaker 1: fascists were leftists. I mean history proves this, and yeah, 422 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: there's national socialists and people have been aware of this 423 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: for a while, but that book was a was a 424 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: conversation changer on that issue. And Culter Audios America on immigration, 425 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: illegal immigration specifically and the Wall. That book was a 426 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: conversation changer. And I've said to you it's really why 427 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: Trump became president. So whether you know what lover or 428 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: don't lover her, you guys all know, I think she's 429 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: pretty great. But you know, and Culter is the single 430 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: author who is probably most responsible for the rise of 431 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: Trump to the presidency. And also whether you love that 432 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: or not, I leave that to you. But there are 433 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: other books that are like this that are changed. You know, 434 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: Whittaker Chambers Witness. That's a masterpiece. But that changed national 435 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: perception about communist infiltration of America. It was real, it 436 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: was happening, it was systematic. You know, we don't have 437 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: that for climate change yet, and we need that. I mean, 438 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: we need someone who goes, look, here are the predictions 439 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: they've made. Here's all the quotes, here the you know, 440 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: even when they when they start out, you know, Gergan 441 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: goes ours, there's no where or separation or science community weber, uh, 442 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: well except for the two percent of scientists. Well, do 443 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: two percent of scientists not believe in gravity? Do two 444 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: percent of scientists? Uh, not believe that the world is round? 445 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: Because if two percent of scientists think that climate change 446 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: alarmism is not supported by the science and is in 447 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: fact nuts. Shouldn't we do a little bit of investigation 448 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: into why that is instead of saying, well, regard or 449 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: regarding our three eight percent or ninety eight, there's ninety 450 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: rush eight, which there's one hundred, except there's two and 451 00:27:54,680 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: two percent or two hundred ninety eight, we're I I'm sorry, 452 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: but I just will never forget being on panels at 453 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: them and they're like, wait, wait, everybody be quiet, gurgling 454 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: Gurgen has some political insights to share contrens Democrats from 455 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: Reager Niction forward. So it's like, who is this guy? 456 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: I know he's worked for every presidents in Zabraham Lincoln, 457 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: but I really just don't I really just don't think 458 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: I need to hear this. But we need that, though, 459 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: and someone has to someone has to step up and 460 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: do it, and preferably what it really has to be 461 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: is a person who understands the messaging and the political fight, 462 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: and probably teaming up with somebody who, in a way 463 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: that is undeniable, has the background and facility and capacity 464 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: to understand the full scope of the science. You know, 465 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: I wish there's a way I could I could help 466 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: this come about, but this needs to be done. There 467 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: are trillions of dollars at stake because of this insanity 468 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: from or Left, literally trillions of dollars. And they still 469 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: tell us all this stuff. They still keep claiming that 470 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: if we don't make massive changes to our lifestyles, if 471 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: we don't do all these things at the telling us 472 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: we have to do, you know, the world's going to end. 473 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: This is what they're saying. The world is going to end. 474 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: Unless you believe that Ocasio Cortez knows how to remake 475 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: the American economy to save the world and make it better. 476 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: And if you believe that, well then you probably deserve 477 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: to live in the crappy country that she's going to create. 478 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: That's just this is it's a republic if we can 479 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: keep it. It's a capitalist, prosperous society if we're not 480 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: too stupid to let it keep doing what it does. 481 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: But that's you know, with all these little socialists running around, 482 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: that's increasingly that's increasingly a problem. The truth is that 483 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: these storms that are hitting the Caribbean with this intense 484 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: magnitude are historic, unprecedented, and these storms are man made. 485 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: Storm the Virgin Islands was hit by two Category five 486 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: storms only two years ago while President Trump indeed was 487 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: our president. The people who are most vulnerable to these 488 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: man made storms are the ones who, in all cases 489 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: are not the contributing factors to the carbon emissions that 490 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: are causing these storms. These storms are being caused in 491 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: huge part because of capital US. North American capital and 492 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: places like the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas are the 493 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: ones that are most vulnerable to these things. You see, folks, 494 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: the developed world is responsible for this. That's what they 495 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: developed world is creating these man made storms. There is 496 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: no evidence, it does not exist that any particular storm 497 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: is manmade. This is a complete fabrication. There is no 498 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: evidence for this at all. They say that overall global 499 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: overall global temperature is they're talking about a point zero 500 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: one degree rise over the last couple of years, and 501 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: that's going to Oh now, the storms are really crazy. There. 502 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: There have been storms for as long as there have 503 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: been storm systems. Okay, I mean this is but the 504 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: people going to be This was a professor at Emory. 505 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: But she's giving away a bit more of the game here, 506 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: which is that this is ultimately about a global Marxist approach. 507 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: And this is where the redistribution of wealth comes in, 508 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: because a developed economy for the last one hundred and 509 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: fifty years, an industrialized economy is inextricably linked, is in 510 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: fact built upon a foundation of carbon emission. So if 511 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: you can isolate carbon emission as destroying the planet, every 512 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: more developed, wealthy society in the world is going to 513 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: bear a greater share of that burden and therefore has 514 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: to pay the equivalent of environmental reparations to the developing 515 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: world to repair the damage that has been done to 516 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: the environment by a world where we have smartphones and 517 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: computers and everyone drives around in a very you know, 518 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: comfortable car with all kinds of electronics that can drive, 519 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: you know, for hundreds of thousands of miles pretty much 520 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: before it really falls apart. I mean the cars these days. 521 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: One of the problems of car industry has cars can 522 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: last twenty years easily, so, you know, but but to 523 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: leave in though and then play. People always think of 524 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: fossil fuels. Then they think, oh, it goes in the car, 525 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: maybe I'll just bicycle to work. Half half of oil 526 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: specifically is used in products, you know, from plastics to 527 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: petroleum jelly to so you are buying things all the 528 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: time that are reliant on fossil fuels in their very creation, 529 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,040 Speaker 1: never mind in their transport or their refrigeration or of 530 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: the guys getting to work. This is an attack on capitalism. 531 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: You have to see it in those terms. You have 532 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: to understand why it is so essential to the left 533 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: that they can brainwash people and just just bludging them 534 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: into this belief that you know, CO two is a 535 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: global threat and we're all living on borrowed time unless 536 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: we hand the keys of our economy over to AOC, 537 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: which is that that's a terrifying thought. It should be 538 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: a terrifying thought for anyone that the people that are 539 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: pushing this the most that they don't know what the heck. 540 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: They don't know what they're talking about on the science, 541 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: and they don't understand the impact on the economy. And 542 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: what's perhaps even more frightening, they don't care. They have 543 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: a messianic vision of themselves here that they are saving 544 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: the planet. And therefore, if you really believe at pushing 545 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: this climate change nonsense, you're going to save the planet. 546 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: What would you not be willing to do? This is 547 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: the the challenge whenever you're dealing with extremism is that 548 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: the extremist is always able to justify any behavior because 549 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: they decontextualize their own thoughts and their own actions from 550 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: reality around them, and they create an alternative reality where 551 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 1: whatever they think is necessary must be done because of 552 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: the threat, whether it's Antifa with fighting against fascism or 553 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: a climate change alarmist with fighting against CO two in 554 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: the air, and the rest of us, the sane, rational 555 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: adult world look at them and say, what is wrong 556 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: with you people? What do you what are you not 557 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 1: able to understand here? Climate change is a religious belief. 558 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: I mean you can go back and do it. Do 559 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: an anthropological study of civilizations throughout history, and they have 560 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: their their creation myths, and they also have their end 561 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: of day's stories, all of them do. And you know 562 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: this ties deeply into the human psyche as well. You know, 563 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: we we want to believe or you know, our minds 564 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: attached to this notion that, uh, there could be an 565 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: end coming, because then it makes it feel like we 566 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 1: aren't so insignificant, because once we're gone, perhaps everything is gone. Right, 567 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: once we're gone, the whole world is going down. No, 568 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: the world is going to go on and on and on, 569 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: and we will be long since forgotten. There is a 570 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: soleopsism that is also at the heart of the psychology 571 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: of the climate change alarmists. You know this. This gives 572 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: them a greater sense, a greater sense of purpose in 573 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: their day to day they're fighting against climate change, but 574 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: also a purpose in the cosmos. Oh, everything is going 575 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,439 Speaker 1: to end. No, it's not, folks, I'm here to tell you. 576 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: It's just nothing about It is not a bottle, it's 577 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: not about it's about costating. The US settleson the gig, 578 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: take us blaying, I'll sit out of my way. Was 579 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: and none. This is over in this tat of New York. 580 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: The room and puck detti. That's true. That's how I'm who. 581 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: I want this US Americans freedoms. You got the write 582 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: and do that. I have the right to do this. 583 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: That's why I do not like white libras a Democrats. 584 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: They are the worst owned this earth. A white liberal 585 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: and a Democrat wants to control you. That's what they 586 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: want to do. They are puck debting. So there you 587 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: had in Grand Central right here in New York City, 588 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: a an African American Trump twenty twenty supporter called in 589 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: this video exchange with a Democrat I believe also African 590 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: American Democrat. They're getting into the back and forth over 591 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: more or less you know, how could you be a 592 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: how could you be black in this country and support Trump? 593 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: That's what the Democrat was saying. And I want to 594 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: step back for a moment from the the the specifics 595 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty election and whether Trump has been 596 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 1: good or bad for the black community in this country. 597 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at unemployment numbers, you look at 598 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: overall economic metrics, and those are clearly favorable for Trump, 599 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: specifically with African American and Latino communities. It's it's always 600 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: lost in the discussion about the Latino vote and how 601 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: Trump is such an anti Latino racist that you had 602 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: almost thirty percent of Latino's vote for him in the 603 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election. Was I think twenty eight or twenty 604 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: nine percent overall, So that's a lot of people when 605 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: you added up nationally who are Latino and support Trump. 606 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: But the Democrats have to borrow one of their words 607 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:51,799 Speaker 1: normalized what is and inherently and inherently unethical, And I 608 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: would argue irrational point of view, and that is that 609 00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 1: you have there is an acceptable and aptible perspective to 610 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: have based upon one's ethnicity, skin color, national origin, and 611 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: that that should be replicated throughout society. On pain of 612 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: social ostracism, on being pushed out of your community, on 613 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: being cast out from whatever group you may mean. They 614 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: used to call them when I was in college, they 615 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: called it an affinity group. I don't know if that's 616 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: still a phrase that's used on college campuses, but an 617 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: affinity group was. You know, if you are a member 618 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 1: of the Latino Coalition or the African American Coalition, that 619 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: was your affinity group on a college campus. You you 620 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: are pushed out from that group if you think differently 621 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: about certain matters. And I do think it's so interesting 622 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: that it's not even issue by issue, it's not even 623 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: issue specific. It's you must support a democrat. Now we 624 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: know why. I mean, none of this is surprising to us. 625 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: And you will see this be a centerpiece. I mean, yeah, 626 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna talk about free this and free that, and uh, 627 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna be pushing the socialism that someone else will 628 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 1: pay for. And remember every time socialism has been tried 629 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: in any country it's always told to the majority that 630 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: someone else is going to pay. It's always that you know, 631 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: this isn't gonna cost you, It's going to cost somebody else, 632 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 1: which is why, at least for in a short term 633 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: sense and in a society where there are enough people 634 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: who can be fooled, it can be a powerful political appeal. 635 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: Someone else is gonna pay. You're gonna get all the 636 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: free stuff, someone else will pay for it. Uh. In 637 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 1: our country, though, in into twenty twenty, what you're going 638 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: to see is a focus on identity politics that is 639 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: the strongest it has it has ever been in the 640 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: sense of a negative focus toward the Republican Party, you know, 641 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 1: under the Obama administration and when President Obama was running 642 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: clearly identity politics. It's very powerful to have and and 643 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: this was understandable that you know, as an African American 644 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 1: in this country, the first black president. That's it. Look, 645 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: it is a compelling story. Let's just be honest about it. 646 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: It is. It's a compelling story. And I can understand 647 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: why the black community reacted in the way that it did, 648 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: not just the first time around, but the second time around. 649 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: Although the second time around for Obama's reelection. I do 650 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: think there's more of a casema that. Okay, well, but 651 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 1: was he a good president? I mean, forget about the 652 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 1: historic nature of it. Was he a good president? You're 653 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,240 Speaker 1: going to have all that enthusiasm and energy to vote 654 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 1: for Obama is going to now be turned against Trump 655 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 1: in the next in this next election cycle. And you know, 656 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: with they tried to do enthusiasm for Hillary last time 657 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: around because people still thought of Trump as a joke. 658 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: But this isn't Trump as a joke. Vote for the 659 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: Democrat that was twenty sixteen, twenty twenty is going to 660 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: be Trump is an evil racist like Hitler, vote for 661 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: anyone other than him. And if you are a minority 662 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: and you vote for Trump, there you know you are 663 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: part of his evil. You are helping to destroy this 664 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,919 Speaker 1: country and oppress people from within your own, your own 665 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 1: community of color. That's that's going to be the narrative storyline. 666 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 1: It's going to be this deeply negative approach to all 667 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: things Trump. And I would just note that they start 668 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: with a fallacy here, and the fallacy is Democrats start 669 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: with a fallacy that you should think about your relationship 670 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: to the state, You should think about politics very broadly 671 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: based upon your skin color, first and foremost, that that 672 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: is a determining factor in how you would vote, how 673 00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: you think, how you think of things like as varied 674 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: as abortion, border security, healthcare, tax rates, foreign policy. That 675 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: skin color should be a defining factor for human beings 676 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 1: in how they approach all these different issues. And it's 677 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: an astonishingly in my view, it's an astonishingly destructive approach 678 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: for this country to our political fabric. I think all 679 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,240 Speaker 1: this talk about how divisive things are, there is really 680 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: I think you could argue no area of our politics 681 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: that is more divisive, and largely because of the way 682 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: it is exploited by the ruling class. There's nothing that 683 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 1: is more divisive than racial politics in this country. Which 684 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: is why you know CNN likes to fan the flames 685 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 1: of this literally in the cases of the coverage and 686 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,919 Speaker 1: the and the enthusiasm and the real encouragement that many 687 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 1: CNI and reporters had for the Black Lives Matter movement, 688 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 1: even when there were instances of it burning down neighborhoods 689 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: and looting stores, CNN was, oh, look at this, this 690 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: is this is people speaking out against police suppression and violence. 691 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: But we should never accept that the way that they 692 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,760 Speaker 1: approach this is okay. And more, we should never accept 693 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: that the basic, the basic approach that Democrats insist on 694 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: from minorities is you are Asian, you are Black, you 695 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: are Hispanic, you're anything. Therefore you must vote Democrat. And 696 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,240 Speaker 1: if you don't, no one wants to hear your reasons. 697 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,439 Speaker 1: No one wants to have a conversation. You are voted out, 698 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: so to speak. You are cast out from your community, 699 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 1: so damaging, and they do it so frequently that we 700 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: almost don't notice it anymore. And I'm just I'm imploring 701 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: you to keep that in your mind as we enter 702 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: what's going to be the most contentious election. It's I'm 703 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: not saying it's the most important. You know, everybody says 704 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 1: no, No No, I do believe this will be the most 705 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:18,280 Speaker 1: contentious election cycle of my lifetime. You will never see 706 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: a nastier, more bitterly fought political contest than Trump versus 707 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 1: whoever's up against him. Because they're trying to prop up 708 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,240 Speaker 1: a whole squad of losers with these this Democrat field, 709 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 1: most notably Joe Biden, and the only way they really 710 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,919 Speaker 1: think they're gonna win is to just heap so much 711 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: trash on top of Trump that it's it's it's overwhelming. 712 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: And one of the ways they're going to try to 713 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: create that enthusiasm for dumping on Trump is going to 714 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: be by exploiting racial division and playing to identity politics. 715 00:44:53,960 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: Do you correctly say you have to a little bit? 716 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: Excuse me? Could somebody please silence the crying baby. I 717 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: know I look like a cuddly grandpa, but I'm trying 718 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 1: to spread Marxism here. It's hard work. I get tired, 719 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: I get grouchy. No no babies, No little capitalist babies 720 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 1: making noise in the background. Please, only little Marxist babies 721 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 1: with you know, hammer and sickle Onesie's on. Please. Bernie Sanders, Man, 722 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders still a top contender for the for the race. 723 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: It's it's amazing, It really is. You have to think 724 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 1: to yourself, what what is this country coming to when 725 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 1: someone with so little connection to the reality of our 726 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 1: economy and such a a completely inadequate and inadequate understanding 727 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: and unacceptable understanding of basic you know micro economics, right, 728 00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 1: which is a study of the specifics of how economics 729 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: plays out in transactions and for businesses, and you know 730 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 1: this is this is the basics of supplying demand. Uh. 731 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 1: Someone who doesn't understand this at all has has no 732 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 1: connection to the realities of how an economy functions. He's 733 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 1: still a very viable presidential candidate. It's it's madness. But 734 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, I know that we're still supposed to be 735 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:26,439 Speaker 1: focused on the on the gun issue, and I don't 736 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,040 Speaker 1: think anything is going to change. Although we'll have my 737 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: friend David Harsani joining here to second, we'll talk about 738 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 1: universal background checks. There is this story that the Odessa 739 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: shooter got a firearm from a private sale after being 740 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 1: denied a firearm through a background check. Uh, you know, 741 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,800 Speaker 1: there is there is that story. I would just say 742 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,879 Speaker 1: that we are going to eventually reach a point where 743 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,799 Speaker 1: we've heard every talking point from the Democrats so many 744 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 1: times that we are we are numb to it. And 745 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,920 Speaker 1: then the question becomes, are we going to just say 746 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,839 Speaker 1: enough as enough, well we'll just do something to shut 747 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,399 Speaker 1: them up, or will we be able to tune it out. 748 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,160 Speaker 1: I hope it is the latter, but there are If 749 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,400 Speaker 1: you're looking at this from the piece by piece perspective 750 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:19,799 Speaker 1: gun rights, uh, you know there's some loosening of restrictions 751 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,240 Speaker 1: in Texas, and that there are places where you see 752 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,880 Speaker 1: action being taken at the state level. And certainly the dcv. 753 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: Heller decision at the Supreme Court was very helpful to 754 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 1: the Second Amendment at the federal level, but it really 755 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 1: just kept a Second Amendment from being eradicated. I think 756 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,839 Speaker 1: people need to remember that dcv. Heller just meant that 757 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 1: you do have the right as a law abiding citizen 758 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: to have a firearm in your home, and that and 759 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 1: that they can't just say no guns for you anywhere, 760 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 1: because it's a right. Okay, so that's but if that 761 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: wasn't a right, then there's no such thing as a 762 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,240 Speaker 1: second and then the Second Amendment is is null and void. 763 00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 1: So it was really taken from life support to intensive care. 764 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:07,399 Speaker 1: But it was definitely a minimal, a minimal victory at 765 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: the corporate level, which is where I do think we 766 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: have to increasingly devote our attention because you know, democrats, 767 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,719 Speaker 1: Democrats view the culture war and really the political war 768 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 1: that's going on in this country as an across the 769 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:27,320 Speaker 1: board affair that they make no distinctions. There's no difference 770 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:33,240 Speaker 1: to them whether they're pushing for corporate action, political government action, 771 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 1: they just want their way. And that's why you have 772 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 1: Walmart and Kroeger, for example, who are coming out and 773 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 1: saying they no longer want anyone to openly carry in 774 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,879 Speaker 1: their stores. Now they have a right to do this, 775 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 1: but let's understand what this accomplishes. It accomplishes nothing from 776 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,839 Speaker 1: the perspective of safety. I mean, there's no such thing 777 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: as a mass shooter or a criminal of any kind 778 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 1: who goes, oh wow, you mean Walmart would prefer I 779 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: don't open carry in the store. I guess I'm gonna 780 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 1: forget about my diabolical shooting plan. That's never gonna have 781 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: that that does not exist. And uh, you know, you 782 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 1: have the establishment of some of these or rather some 783 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: of these stores have established new rules where they are 784 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:24,280 Speaker 1: limiting law biding gun owners in, you know, in their stores, 785 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,360 Speaker 1: things like open carry. And now I know Walmart is 786 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:30,839 Speaker 1: no longer going to sell handgun ammunition and it will 787 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 1: not sell small I think it's small rifle ammunition or something. 788 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,759 Speaker 1: They said, I you know, not even clear on what 789 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,839 Speaker 1: the what the specifics are of the restriction, but they're 790 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,480 Speaker 1: restricting ammunition sales now in response in response to what 791 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,839 Speaker 1: has happened here. This follows after Dick Sporting Goods has 792 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 1: also dramatically restricted firearms that will be sold, and Dick 793 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 1: Sporting Goods did pretty well sales wise. I think the 794 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,520 Speaker 1: stock is actually up, so it used to be a 795 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 1: used at least be the percept that companies that take 796 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 1: action based upon the outrage mob will suffer the consequences 797 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 1: when normal Americans express their displeasure with them don't shut 798 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,319 Speaker 1: But that doesn't seem to be the case anywhere. There's 799 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,600 Speaker 1: been a shift. You see this with Nike and Colin Kaepernick, 800 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 1: and it's a different issue than the gun issue, but 801 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 1: they've gone very deep on the social justice side of things, 802 00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 1: very publicly. And the fact of the matter is that 803 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 1: if you're not a social justice warrior, are you not 804 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 1: going to buy your dry fit running shorts from Nike 805 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,320 Speaker 1: now because of Kaepernick? The answer, let's be honest, folks, 806 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 1: answer is probably that no, you're still gonna buy it. 807 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 1: And if you are a Walmart customer now because you 808 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 1: can't get your ammo there, are you not going to 809 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,399 Speaker 1: go buy your ammunition from wal I mean, are sorry? 810 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: You're not going to go buy your milk forget your ammunition? 811 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: You can go buy your socks from Walmart. I think 812 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 1: the answer there once again is probably Nope, you're still 813 00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:02,239 Speaker 1: going to go. And so the risk tolerance, the corporate 814 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 1: calculation has shifted out. And this is what this is 815 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 1: the This is the type of incrementalism that the left 816 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 1: is trying to accomplish with the gun issue. But now 817 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: the corporate calculation is, look that the pro gun people 818 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 1: are still going to shop in our store if we 819 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 1: just say, look, can we you know, we don't want 820 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 1: any part We're not taking a position on it, we 821 00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,200 Speaker 1: just don't want any part of this. We're not going 822 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,240 Speaker 1: to sell ammunition or we're not going to sell handguns 823 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:32,120 Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, and the anti gun people 824 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 1: will leave us alone. So this then becomes the safer 825 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: option for them, even for a place like Walmart, that 826 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:44,280 Speaker 1: I believe is generally associated, at least in the minds 827 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: of people on the coasts with more red state and 828 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 1: rural areas. Now, is that not if it's probably not 829 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 1: fair of Walmart's really just the biggest retailer. It's very 830 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 1: big in some inner city locations, and I understand that, 831 00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,440 Speaker 1: but people think of Walmart as you know, very all 832 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,680 Speaker 1: American store that serves all kinds of communities, but especially 833 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,960 Speaker 1: in a lot of rural communities, it's a it's almost 834 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,320 Speaker 1: a superstore where you get all your stuff. There're not 835 00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 1: gonna sell guns. So these companies now are changing there, 836 00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,800 Speaker 1: they're changing their risk parameters. And it's not necessarily that 837 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 1: they want to be woke. They just don't want to 838 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,880 Speaker 1: get attacked by woke and they feel like our side 839 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 1: of this equation is less mobilized against them, you know, 840 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,279 Speaker 1: or we won't mobilize against them just because they don't 841 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,759 Speaker 1: want to get in the middle of this. And then 842 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,440 Speaker 1: of course you have the other side of or you 843 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,200 Speaker 1: have the additional side of this, where you know, San 844 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,800 Speaker 1: Francisco is now declaring the nra AT a domestic terrorist 845 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:46,959 Speaker 1: organization and people have completely lost their minds. They there's 846 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,879 Speaker 1: so much, there's so much ignorance on the issue of 847 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,919 Speaker 1: gun culture, the Second Amendment in this country, and I'm 848 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm right in the midst of it here in a 849 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,879 Speaker 1: place like New York City where if I can tell 850 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:03,440 Speaker 1: you this, if I now, I couldn't legally open carry 851 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,919 Speaker 1: in New York from my understanding of New York laws 852 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 1: under any circumstances, you can conceal carry a handgun if 853 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,439 Speaker 1: you get a very tough to get permit and it's 854 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 1: really hard. Um. But let's just say if I could 855 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 1: open carry in New York, if that changed law and 856 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 1: I walk, people would look at me like I was 857 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,440 Speaker 1: a threat and it might actually lead to an incident. 858 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,759 Speaker 1: I mean, somebody might assume that I would have ill 859 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,239 Speaker 1: intent if I were open carrying in this city and 860 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,360 Speaker 1: they didn't think that I was a law enforcement officers 861 00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 1: of some kind. So, you know, the cultural changes, the 862 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,200 Speaker 1: corporate changes. Even though I don't think there are any 863 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,600 Speaker 1: massive legal changes coming to the Second Amendment and to 864 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,320 Speaker 1: the right to bear arms, there's all this other stuff 865 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 1: and the left is achieving that we'll get more into 866 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: this in just a moment. President. What is it define 867 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,840 Speaker 1: what an assault weapon? Ass Yeah, well, the assault weapons 868 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,200 Speaker 1: is where you can send my own amount of because 869 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 1: and also when you put in the high high capacities 870 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 1: on days, what is an assault weapon? Well, I would 871 00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,800 Speaker 1: say the team definitely qualified. But what is an assault weapon? 872 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:18,960 Speaker 1: Can you define what an assault weapons? Got an interview? 873 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,800 Speaker 1: I think you know it's the weapon that killed assault 874 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 1: weapon is the weapon that killed nine people, nine people 875 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,759 Speaker 1: in Dayton in thirty second. Can you I just want 876 00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,239 Speaker 1: him to answer what an assault weapon is? Can you 877 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:38,920 Speaker 1: define what an assault weapons? I certainly can't be legislation. 878 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:44,239 Speaker 1: Can you define it? Can you define it? Uh? They're 879 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,719 Speaker 1: having some trouble there defining what an assault weapon is, 880 00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 1: which is not surprising, but they still want to ban them. 881 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,880 Speaker 1: Our friend David Harsani joins now. He's the author of 882 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 1: First Freedom, A Ride through America's Enduring History with the Gun, 883 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 1: an excellent book on the history of guns in this country. 884 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 1: And also he's a senior editor at The Federalist. A 885 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 1: very excellent sight. Mister Harsan, You're great to have you back, sir, 886 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:09,919 Speaker 1: good to be here. Thanks. All right, so let's let's 887 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,920 Speaker 1: start with this. There seems to now just be this uh, 888 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:17,239 Speaker 1: this push among particularly among the journos, but Democrats too, 889 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:21,400 Speaker 1: Democrat lawmakers that the specifics don't really matter it, you know, 890 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 1: blah blah blah, assault, rifle, assault, you know, schmifele, it's 891 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,800 Speaker 1: we just need to ban the guns to stop the violence. 892 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,239 Speaker 1: Is this a change in anything you think? Is this 893 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 1: going to move the ball for them? No, it's not 894 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,880 Speaker 1: right now. I think their plan is long term. You know, 895 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 1: as you just saw, people can't define assault weapons. And 896 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,880 Speaker 1: that's I think in a way on purpose. I mean, 897 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 1: you want to have this elastic word that can mean 898 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 1: anything you want it to mean, so it becomes something 899 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: that's just the bad thing. You know, it's an evil 900 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:57,960 Speaker 1: thing to have an assault weapon. And what do they mean, Well, basically, 901 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 1: it's just about aesthetics right now, and it's an incremental 902 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,000 Speaker 1: way to get to every semi automatic weapon, which is 903 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,040 Speaker 1: what I think they really want to ban or at 904 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,399 Speaker 1: least very very strictly restrict. You know, let's take into 905 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 1: one part of this because the CNN I think, initially 906 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,520 Speaker 1: broke the story on this. But we're being told now 907 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:21,000 Speaker 1: that the shooter in Odessa bought the gun he failed 908 00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,879 Speaker 1: a background check to buy a firearm, and then when 909 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: and bought the gun in a private sale. I don't know, 910 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,040 Speaker 1: I don't I haven't seen more specifics. If you have 911 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,080 Speaker 1: more specifics, by all means, let us know. But this 912 00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:37,320 Speaker 1: is quite obviously going to turn into a major data 913 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 1: point that is used for why we need universal background checks. Now, David, 914 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:44,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people it sounds like, well, we already 915 00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 1: have background checks, why not have universal background checks. I 916 00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 1: posed that I have my own version, but I want 917 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:54,520 Speaker 1: to hear the Harsani version. Well, I just want to 918 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,319 Speaker 1: say I saw that story as well. There are really 919 00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 1: very little specifics, but whatever happened there, he broke the 920 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,279 Speaker 1: he's not supposed to have a weapon, and through a 921 00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 1: private sale either. So you know, I'm opposed to universal 922 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 1: background checks because I think they will lead to a 923 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,680 Speaker 1: data national database of people. I don't understand how else 924 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,239 Speaker 1: that can be done. And I also think it will 925 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,920 Speaker 1: inhibit depending on how it's done, but most of these 926 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 1: bills will inhibit people from being able to lend their 927 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 1: gun to someone, to give their gun to their relative 928 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,280 Speaker 1: or a good friend if they want to, without going 929 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 1: through some kind of government check. And I just don't 930 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 1: I just don't think that comports with the Second Amendment 931 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 1: and the freedom of owning a firearm. I think that 932 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,640 Speaker 1: the laws that we have on the books already are 933 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,400 Speaker 1: enough to stop most of these shooters. You're never going 934 00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,600 Speaker 1: to stop all of them. And even if the case 935 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,200 Speaker 1: here was that he went through a private sale, it's 936 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 1: an incredibly rare event. I can't think of another one 937 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,680 Speaker 1: of these mass shootings, high profile mass shootings, that happen 938 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,840 Speaker 1: in that way. I can think of a few right 939 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,640 Speaker 1: off the bat that could have been stopped by just 940 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,480 Speaker 1: follow the laws that we already have. And if this 941 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 1: was a private sale, and that's the way of getting around, 942 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, people are gonna say, well, why why can't 943 00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 1: we just require someone to go in and have the 944 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:12,000 Speaker 1: background check done at a federal firearms license you know, 945 00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,240 Speaker 1: or a federal firearms licensee. Why not just go through 946 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 1: that process, you said, because essentially a registry and it's 947 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 1: just unconstitutional. Is there anything else? Well, I mean, you know, 948 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 1: it's already illegal to sell to someone who shouldn't have 949 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,919 Speaker 1: a gun, a to to buy someone a gun, uh 950 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, to buy the phrases escaping me. But to 951 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,840 Speaker 1: buy a gun for someone who's straw purchase, yeah, straw 952 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,080 Speaker 1: purchase of a gun. And uh so, I'm not sure 953 00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 1: what this does other than stop people who are law 954 00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,919 Speaker 1: abiding citizens from just you know, get you know, giving 955 00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 1: their gun to their relative or selling their gun to 956 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,280 Speaker 1: someone they know. If you're selling guns all the time, 957 00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:47,640 Speaker 1: you have to have you have to have a license 958 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,040 Speaker 1: to do It's that's simple. Is there what's your what's 959 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,080 Speaker 1: your idea? Why why do you oppose it, why do 960 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 1: I mean? I think that they're definitely going to create 961 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,760 Speaker 1: a registry. So that's I think the moment that you 962 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 1: have every every single gun transaction that goes across the country, 963 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 1: they're going to say, okay, well now we have a 964 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,960 Speaker 1: record of every gun transaction that's occurring. Any but I mean, 965 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,480 Speaker 1: they already do have a lot of those guns. But 966 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,440 Speaker 1: I also think then you start to get into this 967 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 1: area of well, if I if I do give you know, 968 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,760 Speaker 1: am I now breaking the law? If I give a 969 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 1: gun to somebody to go sporting clay shooting and I 970 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 1: haven't gone under a federal firearms licensee and that person 971 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,160 Speaker 1: for some reason get stopped and checked by a state 972 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 1: trooper or whatever, Am I going to prison now for that? 973 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I want to know. You see, that's exactly 974 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,440 Speaker 1: what they want. They want to make it harder. It's 975 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,200 Speaker 1: like a Maryland near d See where I live, getting 976 00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,320 Speaker 1: a gun is incredibly difficult. That's what they want to do. 977 00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 1: They just want to make it more and more difficult. 978 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,480 Speaker 1: When we all know is this shooter and every other 979 00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,919 Speaker 1: shooter does they ignore those laws any win do whatever 980 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,919 Speaker 1: they like? It is is anything gonna you know, Yeah, 981 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,160 Speaker 1: I feel like part of my frustration year is that 982 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 1: I come on radio and it's it's the same Liberals 983 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 1: make the same arguments about this after every mass shooting. 984 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 1: There's never you know, they usually completely ignore, Well, what 985 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,560 Speaker 1: you want to do wouldn't have even stopped the shooting 986 00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: you're talking about. It's a very small percentage mass shootings 987 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,200 Speaker 1: overall of gun violence in the country, which is over 988 01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:08,000 Speaker 1: from handguns and crime related, especially drug and gang related. 989 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 1: But why they just think they're going to beat us 990 01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,400 Speaker 1: into submission with the repetition? Is that the plan? What 991 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 1: do you think the plan is? Well, I think that 992 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,080 Speaker 1: that a r fifteens because that you're used often by 993 01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,520 Speaker 1: these derained psychopaths is an easy way to scare monger 994 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,360 Speaker 1: people about guns. The truth of the matter is, like 995 01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: you just mentioned, uh, all all rifles are I think 996 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,480 Speaker 1: account for a very small percent you know, I don't 997 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,880 Speaker 1: know the exacting seven hundred of all the gun homicides 998 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,560 Speaker 1: last year or something like that, and within that that's 999 01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,640 Speaker 1: not even a fifteens. You know, that's just rifles in general, 1000 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,160 Speaker 1: more people are kicked to death, more people are punched 1001 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 1: to death, more people are killed with blunt objects and knives. 1002 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:46,840 Speaker 1: But it's an easy way to scare people because of 1003 01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,480 Speaker 1: the aesthetics of the gun and then of the horrible 1004 01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,160 Speaker 1: things that they're used for. But in the end, as 1005 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: far as gun violence goes, it won't do much. My 1006 01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,360 Speaker 1: my theory is, and I don't think this is you know, 1007 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 1: some some huge This not surprised you. I just think 1008 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 1: this is incrementalism. They blatch onto whatever they can, whatever 1009 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,440 Speaker 1: they think is popular. You see the poll numbers on 1010 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 1: this stuff, and that's what they want to do. Buybacks, 1011 01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:14,120 Speaker 1: assault weapon bands and universal back and buybacks aren't really 1012 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a very gentle way of saying, you're 1013 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:18,400 Speaker 1: going to give us your gun or you're going to prison. 1014 01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: That's all. Yeah, it's called a lie. It's not a 1015 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,200 Speaker 1: buy back because you never owned it in the first place. 1016 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:27,240 Speaker 1: It's it's confiscation. First, gun confiscation plans since as I 1017 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 1: wrote in a comm today, since Lexington van Concord, so never, never, 1018 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,160 Speaker 1: not in the thirties or any other times, the government 1019 01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,080 Speaker 1: to pass the law that meant confiscating the guns of 1020 01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,880 Speaker 1: law abiding citizens, making millions of people into criminals instantaneous. 1021 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 1: I mean Connecticut, Connecticut I think I saw an assessment 1022 01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 1: years ago, and they banned a lot of semi automatic 1023 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,320 Speaker 1: rifles at the state level. They expect that there are 1024 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,720 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people a couple of hundred thousand 1025 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,360 Speaker 1: I think was the number, two hundred or maybe hundred 1026 01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,120 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand that just didn't comply. So technically those 1027 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,680 Speaker 1: people are all now in the state of Connecticut felons. 1028 01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:59,919 Speaker 1: But they don't go door to door question that's soft 1029 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,360 Speaker 1: and elsewhere, you know, assault weapons of people don't come 1030 01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,240 Speaker 1: and hand them in. I mean you're gonna have to 1031 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:07,400 Speaker 1: go get them at some point. Yeah. Absolutely, first freedom 1032 01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 1: arrived through America's and during history with the gun. David 1033 01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 1: Harsani is the author. Checkout his columns The Federalists. David 1034 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,480 Speaker 1: always appreciate you making time for us, sir, anytime. Thanks 1035 01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:18,400 Speaker 1: for having me. See, we'll be right back art. We 1036 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,720 Speaker 1: haven't talked more tonight about how we're going to beat 1037 01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:24,320 Speaker 1: Donald's Trump. I have an idea about Donald Trump. Donald 1038 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 1: Trump is not going to be beaten just by insider 1039 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,520 Speaker 1: politics talk. He's not going to be beaten just by 1040 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 1: somebody who has plans. He's going to be beaten by 1041 01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,760 Speaker 1: somebody who has an idea what this man has done. 1042 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,600 Speaker 1: This man has reached into the psyche of the American 1043 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,240 Speaker 1: people and he has harnessed fear for political purposes. So, 1044 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 1: mister President, if you're listening, I want you to hear me. Please. 1045 01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,240 Speaker 1: You have harnessed fear for political purposes, and only love 1046 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,320 Speaker 1: can cast that out. So I, sir, I have a 1047 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,960 Speaker 1: feeling you know what you're doing. I'm going to harness 1048 01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,520 Speaker 1: love for political purposes. I will meet you on that field. 1049 01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,280 Speaker 1: And sir, all right, So you remember that that was 1050 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:04,200 Speaker 1: Mary Williamson's big moment, and I have a I wouldn't 1051 01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,400 Speaker 1: quite say a soft spot, but I have a familiarity 1052 01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,000 Speaker 1: with miss Williamson because she was on the episode of 1053 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 1: Bill Marshaw with me. But we will recall that she 1054 01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,800 Speaker 1: had that moment and then she talked about the dark 1055 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:22,360 Speaker 1: psychic force the Donald Trump has harnessed to do bad 1056 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 1: things to America. Here's the thing about Mary and Williamson. 1057 01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:33,640 Speaker 1: She has unexpectedly stumbled upon a very important underlying truth 1058 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 1: about the Left that she, before running for president, was 1059 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:42,600 Speaker 1: apparently not familiar with, and that is that the left 1060 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: is really mean and that they will lie about you, 1061 01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:50,120 Speaker 1: that they will lie, and they're very mean. I thought 1062 01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:54,160 Speaker 1: this was particularly interesting. This was from a New york 1063 01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:58,000 Speaker 1: An interview in The New Yorker with David Remnick. He said, quote, 1064 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,040 Speaker 1: I know this sounds naive. I didn't think the left 1065 01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 1: was so mean. I didn't think the left lide like this. 1066 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,640 Speaker 1: I thought the right did that. I thought we were better. 1067 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,200 Speaker 1: There's a there's a real insight here, folks. I know 1068 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:19,160 Speaker 1: so many liberals who really do think, really do believe 1069 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 1: that their side is where as for all the nice people. 1070 01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 1: It's not even that their side is right, that their 1071 01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:30,080 Speaker 1: side is smarter, they believe that too, but that the 1072 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 1: nice people are on their side. I mean, I can 1073 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:35,240 Speaker 1: just tell you, and I'm I'm giving this to you 1074 01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:39,959 Speaker 1: as objectively as I possibly can. You know, look the left, 1075 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,440 Speaker 1: for example, I mean I can tell you this and 1076 01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:42,760 Speaker 1: some of you who are going to get annoyed at 1077 01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:44,640 Speaker 1: me for saying it, but you know, the left is 1078 01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,160 Speaker 1: probably because they control the platforms and have take far 1079 01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,480 Speaker 1: more at bats than we do. But they're better at 1080 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,080 Speaker 1: creative than we are. Meaning you know, they dominate Hollywood, 1081 01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 1: they dominate TV shows, they do all this stuff, and 1082 01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,040 Speaker 1: they have just more people in the game. Do I 1083 01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:02,800 Speaker 1: think conservatives could could make better shows that of course, 1084 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,600 Speaker 1: But if we're just gonna look at the scoreboard, they're 1085 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:08,560 Speaker 1: dominating us in those areas. And if it comes to 1086 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:12,560 Speaker 1: if it comes down to making entertaining, uh, you know, 1087 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 1: fictional content, the left, generally speaking, manages to just do 1088 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 1: a do a good job on the creative. And you 1089 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 1: can argue with me about whether that's entirely because they 1090 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 1: control the platforms and or if it's just a function 1091 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,360 Speaker 1: of that's the way their minds think. And they're more 1092 01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, they're more willing to do the sex, drugs 1093 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:32,920 Speaker 1: and rock and roll thing than conservatives are. I think 1094 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 1: that's one way to you know, with the left running things, 1095 01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,720 Speaker 1: you get a lot of you know, a lot of 1096 01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 1: a lot of booze, boobs and violence, you know, when 1097 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,200 Speaker 1: it comes to the creative. So if you like that 1098 01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:46,720 Speaker 1: or not, I leave that to you. But if you're 1099 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:52,480 Speaker 1: talking about what goes on on the right, our people 1100 01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:58,680 Speaker 1: are nicer, nicer than their people are. In the media, 1101 01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,960 Speaker 1: I'm talking. I'm not overall, I can't I can't say. 1102 01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,960 Speaker 1: I mean in the media, though, conservatives that I come 1103 01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:09,320 Speaker 1: across in news media are by a factor, I'd say 1104 01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:11,560 Speaker 1: of three to one. You know, there are three nice 1105 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,280 Speaker 1: conservatives for every nice liberal I come across. Maybe it's 1106 01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:18,240 Speaker 1: more like five to one. They are really really nasty 1107 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:25,280 Speaker 1: people on the left, really nasty that and you see 1108 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:26,960 Speaker 1: this in some of these organization. I mean you see 1109 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 1: this with Media Matters a as scummy an outfit as 1110 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:35,560 Speaker 1: exists in the media landscape. Gawker, very left wing, disgusting, 1111 01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 1: fortunately now defunct, but a horrible organization, ruined people, destroyed reputations, 1112 01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,480 Speaker 1: and took real glee in it. The young Turks with 1113 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:47,320 Speaker 1: that psychopath who had the total meltdown about Dan Crenshaw. 1114 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:53,640 Speaker 1: Guy's horrible. Is an unethical, stupid, bad person. There's a 1115 01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,480 Speaker 1: lot of that, unfortunately in left wing media. Now I'm 1116 01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 1: not saying it doesn't exist in the right, but for 1117 01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,920 Speaker 1: whatever reason, it is elevated on the left. I mean, 1118 01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,000 Speaker 1: you have these people. You know, Keith Olberman here's a 1119 01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:09,520 Speaker 1: perfect example, was universally known as a mean person, as 1120 01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:14,080 Speaker 1: a bad guy. Uh, you know, I mean there are 1121 01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 1: others that I could I could talk about as well. 1122 01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:20,200 Speaker 1: You know, Jake Tapper, universally by those at least who've 1123 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,680 Speaker 1: ever dealt with him, knows is one of the most 1124 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:27,840 Speaker 1: thin skinned human beings you will ever come across. And yet, 1125 01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 1: you know, we're all supposed to be like, oh, well, 1126 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,400 Speaker 1: that's you know, because he plays a news anchor on TV, 1127 01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,600 Speaker 1: We're all supposed to think that he's got gravitas. Mary 1128 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,120 Speaker 1: Anne Williamson has found out the hard way that the 1129 01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:44,480 Speaker 1: left is really mean. They're just mean, you know, they're 1130 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,440 Speaker 1: coming after her, and she's she says that they falsely 1131 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,080 Speaker 1: accused her of having told AIDS patients not to take 1132 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:53,320 Speaker 1: their medicines. She's they say that she they false He's 1133 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,760 Speaker 1: told her that lovelessness causes disease and that love is 1134 01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:00,240 Speaker 1: enough to cure their diseases. You know. They say that 1135 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,200 Speaker 1: that she has been smeared by her own side in 1136 01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,840 Speaker 1: a way that shows a real vicious is now no 1137 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:07,680 Speaker 1: a lotty like Buck the crazy Crystal Lady? What do 1138 01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:11,560 Speaker 1: we care? I'm just saying I think that her awakening 1139 01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,720 Speaker 1: to our own side is something that we need to 1140 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,439 Speaker 1: encourage more. We need to encourage more of this to happen, 1141 01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:23,280 Speaker 1: because Libs are really mean. There's a nat because of 1142 01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,439 Speaker 1: the self righteousness and the emotionalism and the sense that 1143 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:29,160 Speaker 1: this isn't a difference in politics, is a difference between 1144 01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:32,719 Speaker 1: the good people and the bad people. They have no problem, 1145 01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:37,080 Speaker 1: they have no compunction watching the other side get destroyed. 1146 01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,599 Speaker 1: And then that reminds me of this guy, Ben Penn 1147 01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 1: and the story that he wrote about Laife Olsen got 1148 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:50,040 Speaker 1: him fired from the Department of Labor. And now it 1149 01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:56,599 Speaker 1: to any person with basic reading comprehension skills, Laife Olsen 1150 01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:59,080 Speaker 1: did nothing wrong. It was a joke. He did not 1151 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,760 Speaker 1: cross any line. He is not an anti Semite. He 1152 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:05,040 Speaker 1: was not being anti Semitic. And this guy lost his job. 1153 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,280 Speaker 1: And you know what, the Department of Labor is even 1154 01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:10,120 Speaker 1: now said, as far as I understand it, that they 1155 01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,599 Speaker 1: agree that you know, he didn't actually cross any lines 1156 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,960 Speaker 1: to do anything wrong. Bloomberg is standing behind the report. 1157 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,920 Speaker 1: Better to be a party to a false better to 1158 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:27,120 Speaker 1: be wrong than to have to admit that they ran 1159 01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,439 Speaker 1: a hit piece that was fake news and deal with 1160 01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,040 Speaker 1: a blow or the organization's credibility that would come from that. 1161 01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:35,439 Speaker 1: But you know, it's a It's a terrible thing to do. 1162 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:39,080 Speaker 1: I would I would not sleep at night if I 1163 01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 1: had gotten somebody fired from their job in the government 1164 01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:45,559 Speaker 1: just because I felt like getting some clicks for a 1165 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,200 Speaker 1: website and I and I lied about a person and 1166 01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,559 Speaker 1: ruin their reputation to do it. I would not I 1167 01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,280 Speaker 1: would not be able to handle that. Left is fine 1168 01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:58,080 Speaker 1: with it. Ben Ben hasn't apologized. Bloomberg hasn't apologized. Look 1169 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,160 Speaker 1: at the way that you know they talk about it. 1170 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,280 Speaker 1: In the gun debate. We say things like, oh, they 1171 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,840 Speaker 1: don't understand, you know, they don't understand what they're talking about. 1172 01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,479 Speaker 1: Their ideas are wrong, their ideas are bad. What do 1173 01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,559 Speaker 1: they say to us, Oh, you don't care about dead children, 1174 01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:16,320 Speaker 1: you don't care about stopping mass shootings and the horrible 1175 01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:19,559 Speaker 1: violence from it. Can they really believe that about their 1176 01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:23,320 Speaker 1: fellow Americans? I think, unfortunately the answer is yes. I 1177 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,880 Speaker 1: think unfortunately there is so much There has been so 1178 01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 1: much viciousness on the left for so long that they 1179 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,360 Speaker 1: can't even see it for what it is. They can't 1180 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:38,400 Speaker 1: even tell and it has been incubated on the left, 1181 01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,519 Speaker 1: so now we're dealing with the consequence of it. But yeah, 1182 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 1: do you mean to marry Anne the crystal lady who 1183 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:45,800 Speaker 1: says that she doesn't even ever use crystals? So that's 1184 01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,880 Speaker 1: an unfair sme but comes from the left, folks. They're 1185 01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:52,559 Speaker 1: very mean. Aftermath of these hearings, I believe that Christine's 1186 01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:56,840 Speaker 1: testimony brought about more good than the horror misogynist Republicans 1187 01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,559 Speaker 1: caused by allowing Cabinet on the court. We were going 1188 01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:03,920 Speaker 1: to have a conservative Elections have consequences. But he will 1189 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,720 Speaker 1: always have an asterisk next to his name when he 1190 01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,040 Speaker 1: takes a scalpel to Robi Wade. We will know who 1191 01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,960 Speaker 1: he is. We know his character, and we know what 1192 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,720 Speaker 1: motivates him, and that is important. It is important that 1193 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:18,719 Speaker 1: we know, and that was part of what motivated Christine. 1194 01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:29,240 Speaker 1: That is Christine Blasi Ford's lawyer, Deborah Katz telling you 1195 01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:34,320 Speaker 1: what we have known all along. That is the motivation. 1196 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,240 Speaker 1: Now she said motivated in part, I would say motivated 1197 01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:42,120 Speaker 1: almost entirely by And the only part of that that 1198 01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,479 Speaker 1: you could add into the mix would be that she 1199 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:50,120 Speaker 1: was motivated almost entirely by politics. But then also the 1200 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:56,840 Speaker 1: desire to be viewed among her fellow supporters of the 1201 01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,960 Speaker 1: hideous regime of abortion in this country, to be seen 1202 01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,959 Speaker 1: as a hero, to be on the cover of magazines 1203 01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,559 Speaker 1: which she was put on. I mean, that's what ended 1204 01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:12,600 Speaker 1: up happening, and this is This is a frustration because 1205 01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,240 Speaker 1: yet again it reminds me of the Clinton Foundation situation, 1206 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:20,760 Speaker 1: where I would go on CNN and say, we all 1207 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:25,920 Speaker 1: understand that the Clinton Foundation is really a front for 1208 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:31,080 Speaker 1: laundering money to the Clintons to buy access and contact 1209 01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,600 Speaker 1: with them, right, that this isn't really about charity, that 1210 01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:37,639 Speaker 1: the Clintons don't give a crap about charity. We all 1211 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,080 Speaker 1: know that, right, and it's CNN. They they'd all pretend 1212 01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:43,439 Speaker 1: to be very, very stupid when I would have this 1213 01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 1: conversation with some of their anchors, and and punnits on 1214 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,160 Speaker 1: another said, oh, what do you mean the Clintons. They're 1215 01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,000 Speaker 1: just doing good charity work, That's what There's no there's 1216 01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,080 Speaker 1: no other motive. And I said, okay, Well, the real 1217 01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:57,599 Speaker 1: test of this will be once it's clear that Hillary 1218 01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:00,160 Speaker 1: Clinton's not going to be president the United States, the 1219 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,320 Speaker 1: donations dry up, because if it's about charity, then it 1220 01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:06,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't matter at all. And as we saw, not only 1221 01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,200 Speaker 1: did the donations the Clinton Foundation dry up, they fell 1222 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,840 Speaker 1: off a cliff and they had just shut down whole 1223 01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:13,760 Speaker 1: sectors of the Clinton When was the last time you 1224 01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:17,599 Speaker 1: heard about the Clinton Foundation at all in the news well, 1225 01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,160 Speaker 1: they're trying to cover up at some level there they 1226 01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:24,520 Speaker 1: don't have shame, but try to cover up the blatant 1227 01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:26,599 Speaker 1: nature of the pay to play scammut they were running. 1228 01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:28,439 Speaker 1: Why do I bring this up in the context of 1229 01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:32,960 Speaker 1: Blasi Ford. A similar circumstances took place during the whole 1230 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:37,800 Speaker 1: character assassination attempt of Brett Kavanaugh, which was still one 1231 01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:43,040 Speaker 1: of the most horrific things that I have ever watched 1232 01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,840 Speaker 1: in a political arena on TV. I think it actually, 1233 01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:50,400 Speaker 1: if we're talking just politics, it was the ugliest political 1234 01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:55,720 Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen on TV. Was the ritualized and 1235 01:13:55,920 --> 01:14:01,680 Speaker 1: sadistic psychological torture that and all was subjected to for 1236 01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:05,000 Speaker 1: allegations that were clearly false to anyone who's not a 1237 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:10,720 Speaker 1: liar or a moron, allegations that had no evidence to 1238 01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:15,240 Speaker 1: back them up, no substance in reality whatsoever. But I 1239 01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,759 Speaker 1: remember when that was happening, and you'll remember this too, 1240 01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:22,160 Speaker 1: that you had all these journalists that would say that 1241 01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,479 Speaker 1: this became a common talking point. Oh but but why 1242 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:30,320 Speaker 1: would she lie? She has no reason to lie? And 1243 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,160 Speaker 1: they would say this, to which many of us would 1244 01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:36,960 Speaker 1: point out, other than being written about in the history books, 1245 01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:41,240 Speaker 1: forever as somebody who saved perhaps a women's a woman's 1246 01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:43,960 Speaker 1: right to choose, or as was said by Deborah Katz 1247 01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:48,960 Speaker 1: here at least will always have cast a cast in aspersion, 1248 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,960 Speaker 1: created a question mark or an asterisk or whatever they 1249 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:57,879 Speaker 1: want to say around any decision involving Judge Brett Kavanaugh, 1250 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:04,479 Speaker 1: just to create the the basis for a multigenerational smear. 1251 01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,920 Speaker 1: Also knowing that the left wing dominance in media and 1252 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,760 Speaker 1: in the academy will mean that Blasi Ford give it 1253 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:16,160 Speaker 1: ten years, She's going to be the hero of the 1254 01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:18,880 Speaker 1: narrative for all leftists, and they're going to teach us 1255 01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:22,320 Speaker 1: in schools just like you know, you always will hear 1256 01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,760 Speaker 1: that Clarence Thomas is the bad guy and Anita Hill 1257 01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,360 Speaker 1: is a hero. You know, Anita Hill has Kerry Washington 1258 01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:30,599 Speaker 1: player in the HBO movie and defending women and all 1259 01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:34,360 Speaker 1: this stuff, and no one even really knows who gets 1260 01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:39,120 Speaker 1: all excited about it now the subject matter, in any 1261 01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:42,000 Speaker 1: detail of those allegations. They just know Anita Hill was 1262 01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,679 Speaker 1: the hero, the heroine, and Clarence Thomas was the bad guy, 1263 01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:49,200 Speaker 1: the bad guy because he's a conservative, and they want 1264 01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,240 Speaker 1: to make that the story as well. With Kavanaugh, and 1265 01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,920 Speaker 1: with blasi Ford, they will try. I would just note 1266 01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:58,160 Speaker 1: that the media pretended to be completely a bunch of morons. 1267 01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:02,200 Speaker 1: All the issue of why would why would blasi Ford 1268 01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:06,479 Speaker 1: do this? Why would she come forward and lie, which 1269 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:10,360 Speaker 1: is what she did about somebody to ruin his reputation, 1270 01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:14,800 Speaker 1: to defame him in front of the whole nation. Why 1271 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,800 Speaker 1: I put herself through this? And it's because she got 1272 01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,240 Speaker 1: to be the center of attention. She was considered a 1273 01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,880 Speaker 1: hero by everybody who is on the left, everyone who 1274 01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:25,400 Speaker 1: doesn't like Kavanaugh, an anyone who's ever had an abortion 1275 01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:29,280 Speaker 1: in the country and still believes in abortion as a 1276 01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:35,200 Speaker 1: sacred right of womanhood, which is a pretty terrifying notion, 1277 01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:37,960 Speaker 1: but that's a very widely held one. They thought that 1278 01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,639 Speaker 1: blasi Ford was being a hero, so it was obvious. 1279 01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:42,760 Speaker 1: And the point is it was obvious why she would 1280 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:44,400 Speaker 1: do this? Why would she lie? I got a lot 1281 01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:46,880 Speaker 1: of reasons why she'd lie, But all the journalists go, 1282 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what she'd like. She's telling the truth. 1283 01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 1: She has no reason to lie, That's what they would 1284 01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:56,759 Speaker 1: always say, no reason to lie. Well, here's her lawyer 1285 01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,880 Speaker 1: giving you at least one reason. Now that the battle 1286 01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:04,160 Speaker 1: is over, or at least the initial phase of it 1287 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,560 Speaker 1: is over, and it's to create a smear of Kavanaugh 1288 01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,479 Speaker 1: in case he is part of overturning Roe v. Wade, 1289 01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,639 Speaker 1: or in case there's any decision that comes down involving 1290 01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,280 Speaker 1: Judge Brett Kavanaugh that the Left doesn't like, they'll just say, oh, 1291 01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:21,400 Speaker 1: you mean Kavanaugh, the sexual assaulter. Havanall the would be rapist. 1292 01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:25,439 Speaker 1: That's what they're going to do. And I just feel 1293 01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,479 Speaker 1: that there should be so much more accountability for the 1294 01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:35,280 Speaker 1: cowardly and idiotic journalists out there who, in moments where 1295 01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:39,280 Speaker 1: character would really matter, they feign or some of them 1296 01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,080 Speaker 1: perhaps are just the stupid, but most of them just 1297 01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:46,040 Speaker 1: feigned stupidity because it is politically more convenient for them 1298 01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:49,120 Speaker 1: in the moment. All of a sudden, they can't figure 1299 01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:53,040 Speaker 1: out what any normal human being paying attention to any 1300 01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:56,880 Speaker 1: situation like this would be able to figure out. Why 1301 01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,040 Speaker 1: would a person come forward like this? Oh, because it's 1302 01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 1: been so hard for Anita Hill since she came forward, 1303 01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 1: She's been treated so poorly by by the press and 1304 01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,880 Speaker 1: by the establishment. Now she's gotten very cushy jobs. HBO 1305 01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,320 Speaker 1: show made, our HBO movie made about her where she's 1306 01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:17,360 Speaker 1: the heroine, and saything's gonna have with blasi Ford, And 1307 01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:21,400 Speaker 1: keep in mind that they've really just pushed away the 1308 01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,040 Speaker 1: other two. I can't even remember. I Sweatnick was the third. 1309 01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,200 Speaker 1: I can't remember the name of the second accuser, an 1310 01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:31,240 Speaker 1: accuser who came forward despite not even being able by 1311 01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:35,680 Speaker 1: her own, by her own admission, being able to remember 1312 01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:39,640 Speaker 1: on her own, whether Cavana did anything to her, you know, 1313 01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,519 Speaker 1: she came forward and made this allegation against him. And 1314 01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:46,799 Speaker 1: then in the third instance, with Sweatnick, a crazy person 1315 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:50,000 Speaker 1: who anyone could see, who had their eyes open and 1316 01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:53,640 Speaker 1: was being honest, was just a liar. Blasi Ford was 1317 01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:59,200 Speaker 1: a moderately a mildly convincing liar, meaning she was still 1318 01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:03,120 Speaker 1: clearly lie. But there was there was a little she 1319 01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:06,120 Speaker 1: was better coach, There was a little bit more preparation 1320 01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:10,080 Speaker 1: in it. It was it sounded more plausible. Sweatnick came 1321 01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:13,320 Speaker 1: after Supreme Court judge, a Supreme Court justice now would 1322 01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,720 Speaker 1: be Supreme Court justice, of course, with the help of 1323 01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:20,080 Speaker 1: Michael Avanati. Who can it get scummier? I mean, the 1324 01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,519 Speaker 1: way that that guy goes after people on Twitter, if 1325 01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:25,000 Speaker 1: you haven't seen it, is hilarious. Got after some friends 1326 01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:28,160 Speaker 1: of mine. They're not you know, you're not famous enough, basically, 1327 01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:29,599 Speaker 1: is what he likes to say to people. I mean, 1328 01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:32,640 Speaker 1: Avanadi is famous and almost the way that you know, 1329 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:36,080 Speaker 1: Anthony Weener is famous for being a disgusting creep, right, 1330 01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:39,280 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're famous for being bad people. They're not. 1331 01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 1: They're not famous because everyone loves them. So you know, 1332 01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:47,080 Speaker 1: that's a distinction I think worth keeping in mind. But yeah, 1333 01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 1: Christine Blasi Ford her lawyers come out and told us 1334 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 1: what what I knew, what you knew all along. But 1335 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,439 Speaker 1: now now we have greater confirmation. And the people that 1336 01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,240 Speaker 1: pretended they could not figure this out at the time, 1337 01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:01,880 Speaker 1: I do think that there should be accountability. I think 1338 01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,639 Speaker 1: we should bring them forward in the press and say, 1339 01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,479 Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm just wondering, were you really unable to 1340 01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,280 Speaker 1: figure out what the motivations here were. Now, of course 1341 01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,760 Speaker 1: we know that they would lie about it, but I 1342 01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:16,000 Speaker 1: would like to see them lie again. The American people, 1343 01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:18,080 Speaker 1: I mean, many of the worst people you come across, 1344 01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:20,479 Speaker 1: and any prominent public role, our journalists, and this is 1345 01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:23,439 Speaker 1: just another another example of that. Over the last i'd 1346 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:28,120 Speaker 1: say fifteen twenty years we've seen this increasing what many 1347 01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:31,920 Speaker 1: people call tribalism, and basically you can sum that up 1348 01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:36,040 Speaker 1: with contempt for other people's views and saying I disagree 1349 01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 1: with you, and by the way, you're wrong about everything. 1350 01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,040 Speaker 1: I think. In the past, we had elections, and yeah, 1351 01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:44,160 Speaker 1: they're pretty, they're pretty raucous, and they're pretty rough and tumble, 1352 01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,360 Speaker 1: and sometimes they're not civil. But welcome to democracy. But 1353 01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:49,200 Speaker 1: in the old days, the old days of being in 1354 01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:52,639 Speaker 1: why I didn't have this color hair. In the old days, 1355 01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,000 Speaker 1: when the election was over, we buried the hatchet, we 1356 01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:58,679 Speaker 1: got down to governing. It's like today all we stay 1357 01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:02,240 Speaker 1: in is locked in this election cycle and we're constantly 1358 01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:05,880 Speaker 1: finding reasons not to cooperate. And no democraphy can survive 1359 01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,960 Speaker 1: that sort of a style. It does won't work. General 1360 01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:15,520 Speaker 1: Maddis there speaking of christiano'man pool who has the fanciest 1361 01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:19,280 Speaker 1: accents of any human being ever on the history of 1362 01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:25,599 Speaker 1: the world. It's really her calling card. I don't think 1363 01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:30,799 Speaker 1: that Maddis is political analysis here is especially as stute 1364 01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:33,519 Speaker 1: and I know I've been. I wouldn't even say I'm 1365 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:37,120 Speaker 1: critical of General Maddis. I'm just I just have questions 1366 01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:41,320 Speaker 1: I've been asking those questions. I don't want to naked 1367 01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:47,439 Speaker 1: seem like I'm bashing Maddis by any stretch. He's clearly, 1368 01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,559 Speaker 1: very very well respected throughout the military. I should when 1369 01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:53,880 Speaker 1: I say clearly, it's really what the journalists who cover 1370 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,599 Speaker 1: the Pentagon, and you know that we go by what 1371 01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,040 Speaker 1: they say. I mean, I don't know. I haven't really 1372 01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:01,040 Speaker 1: spoken to that many rank and file soldiers about what 1373 01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,280 Speaker 1: they think of Maddis. They might say is fantastic, they 1374 01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:06,479 Speaker 1: might say that, you know, I can tell you a 1375 01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,680 Speaker 1: lot of people thought that General Petreus was kind of 1376 01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:13,040 Speaker 1: a jerk. So we were always told, oh, he's a genius, 1377 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:16,280 Speaker 1: he's gonna save well. I mean, he got things right 1378 01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,960 Speaker 1: in Iraq when he was in command, didn't exactly get 1379 01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,559 Speaker 1: things right in Afghanistan, But that never really gets talked about. 1380 01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,479 Speaker 1: General General Madister though, saying that we used to get 1381 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:31,160 Speaker 1: to the business of governing. Really, I think you could 1382 01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:35,840 Speaker 1: argue that that has been in recent memory, that has 1383 01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,000 Speaker 1: been the exception more than there. It certainly wasn't the 1384 01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:43,120 Speaker 1: case under the Bush administration, where I have not forgotten 1385 01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:48,400 Speaker 1: that there were efforts, real efforts to try to get 1386 01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:52,800 Speaker 1: criminal charges brought against someone like Dick Cheney where there 1387 01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:57,040 Speaker 1: was a special counsel about a non event leak of 1388 01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:00,519 Speaker 1: a non event person's name, and then that led to 1389 01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:05,920 Speaker 1: the charges against Scooter Libby. There were it was. It 1390 01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:09,360 Speaker 1: was complete political trench warfare in the Bush years, and 1391 01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:13,919 Speaker 1: that was when we were under attack by radical Islam 1392 01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:18,479 Speaker 1: and the global Jihad. We were united for about six 1393 01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:21,000 Speaker 1: months after nine eleven as a country, and then it 1394 01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:25,240 Speaker 1: very quickly turned into anything to destroy Bush. Bush is Hitler. 1395 01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:29,519 Speaker 1: I was in college and there were leftists on my 1396 01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:33,120 Speaker 1: campus and in the area of Amburst College who were 1397 01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:38,240 Speaker 1: making the case that they thought that Bush was basically 1398 01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:42,799 Speaker 1: a fascist along the lines of along the lines of Hitler, 1399 01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:46,160 Speaker 1: you know, that Bush. Bush had fascistic tennant just like 1400 01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:48,320 Speaker 1: you know. And they would say that Cheney was really 1401 01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:51,759 Speaker 1: running the country and that Haliburton was going to around 1402 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:53,559 Speaker 1: us all up any day now. I mean, it's saying 1403 01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:57,040 Speaker 1: crazy stuff. So it was maddest not really around for that. 1404 01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:01,960 Speaker 1: Its maddest not a part of that situation. I would 1405 01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:05,400 Speaker 1: have to wonder during the Clinton years when there was 1406 01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:10,200 Speaker 1: a very acrimonious impeachment fight, you know, when when were 1407 01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:13,800 Speaker 1: we getting down to the business of governing. I look, 1408 01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,000 Speaker 1: I will tell you. I saw my friend Ben Dominic 1409 01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:18,800 Speaker 1: tweeted this out today and he's read Mattis his book. 1410 01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:22,160 Speaker 1: I haven't yet. I just told you what others tend 1411 01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:24,240 Speaker 1: not to say, which is that these books are a 1412 01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:28,719 Speaker 1: waste of time, They're boring, They're often either money grabs 1413 01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:34,879 Speaker 1: or just self aggrandizing, pedestal creation for the former government officials. 1414 01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:37,519 Speaker 1: You know, there was a time when the expectation was 1415 01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:40,519 Speaker 1: you served in the government and you just went into 1416 01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:43,720 Speaker 1: private life afterwards. And that was that he didn't need 1417 01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:49,680 Speaker 1: to create a post governmental cult around oneself. And there 1418 01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 1: was a time when that was the norm. And I 1419 01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,400 Speaker 1: really mean that, right, we have seen and you can 1420 01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:59,760 Speaker 1: measure this. Unlike Mattis saying that politics used to be 1421 01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:01,800 Speaker 1: much more civil, I don't. I'm not even talking about 1422 01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,559 Speaker 1: you know, civil like meaning the Civil War, when we 1423 01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:09,360 Speaker 1: were literally killing our fellow Americans over at political political differences, 1424 01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:12,360 Speaker 1: so to the doing of hundreds of thousands of US 1425 01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,599 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think his politics very stute. 1426 01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,479 Speaker 1: I think that the analysis, I should say, is very stute. 1427 01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:22,760 Speaker 1: And then Ben Dominic was saying that the maddest book 1428 01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:26,800 Speaker 1: is just boring, which doesn't surprise doesn't surprise me at all, 1429 01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,639 Speaker 1: and given that I already know that without reading it. 1430 01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:32,639 Speaker 1: And also, you know how much work it would really 1431 01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:34,559 Speaker 1: is somebody who's in the process of writing a draft 1432 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:36,680 Speaker 1: of a book right now, how much work, how much 1433 01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:41,880 Speaker 1: time it really takes. These individuals who have been used 1434 01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,000 Speaker 1: to having staffs do a lot of work for them 1435 01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,080 Speaker 1: and people writing speeches for them and doing all these things, 1436 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:48,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna They're gonna sit at a computer at a 1437 01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:50,960 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, a typewriter. That's really kicking at 1438 01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:54,040 Speaker 1: old school Rusa Mark. Have you ever even used the typewriter? 1439 01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:57,200 Speaker 1: You know, I've never even touched a key on a typewriter, 1440 01:25:57,320 --> 01:26:00,840 Speaker 1: only keyboards. I haven't used one, but I've seen one 1441 01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:02,920 Speaker 1: and like touched the ya. I mean it's not a 1442 01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:05,559 Speaker 1: dinosaur like of course you've probably seen one, but I mean, 1443 01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:09,040 Speaker 1: you've ever actually tried to type with one? No? Yeah, 1444 01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,599 Speaker 1: I had computer class in elementary school. Yeah, I did too, 1445 01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:13,800 Speaker 1: I remember, and I remember thinking that this, you I 1446 01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:16,920 Speaker 1: was really smart and forward leaning in elementary school in 1447 01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:19,960 Speaker 1: that I was like, writing things out by hand is 1448 01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:23,720 Speaker 1: obviously way smarter and better. So this computer thing is ridiculous. 1449 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:25,800 Speaker 1: Turns out that we were all gonna have to worry 1450 01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:27,880 Speaker 1: about carpal tunnel syndrome for the rest of our adult 1451 01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:31,559 Speaker 1: lives pretty soon. So so Mattis' book is pretty boring. 1452 01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,320 Speaker 1: But when he says that based on Ben Dominant's assessment, 1453 01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,120 Speaker 1: which I trust, I haven't read it yet myself, but 1454 01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:38,720 Speaker 1: I kind of know it. It was like when you 1455 01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:42,240 Speaker 1: see a movie trailer, you know, you know if it's 1456 01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:45,360 Speaker 1: good or not. Yea, not really, you know, yeah, technically 1457 01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:49,479 Speaker 1: you should see the movie, but yeah, you know, usually 1458 01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:53,639 Speaker 1: knows being in which the right I love this. On 1459 01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:56,720 Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes, I told you all to go and see 1460 01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:02,080 Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle's comedy special. I told you to go check 1461 01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,599 Speaker 1: it out. And just to give you a sense of 1462 01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:09,120 Speaker 1: what the score ratings were earlier today on Rotten Tomatoes, 1463 01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:17,719 Speaker 1: Sticks and Stones on Rotten Tomatoes has a Tomatometer score 1464 01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:25,200 Speaker 1: based on critics reviews of twenty nine percent positive. So 1465 01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:30,360 Speaker 1: that's that's that's a very low critics score. Who wants 1466 01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:34,160 Speaker 1: to guess, christer mark, what percentage of the three thousand, 1467 01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:36,880 Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty three people who rated on Rotten 1468 01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:41,360 Speaker 1: Tomatoes liked Sticks and Stones the Dave Chappelle comedy specially. 1469 01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:48,800 Speaker 1: I told you about what's the percentage? Eighty two ninety nine. Wow. Yeah. 1470 01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:52,599 Speaker 1: So everybody who saw this thing who was a viewer 1471 01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:58,520 Speaker 1: thought it was hilarious, and seven out of ten critics 1472 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:02,640 Speaker 1: who reviewed it and review things officially for their livelihoods 1473 01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:08,280 Speaker 1: thought it was bad. This is a microcosm of what 1474 01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:12,879 Speaker 1: woke culture does to you being woke, being a social 1475 01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 1: justice warrior, you are not allowed to find funny things 1476 01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:19,880 Speaker 1: funny anymore. You're not allowed to laugh at anything other 1477 01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:25,600 Speaker 1: than white Christian males and mockery of them. You know 1478 01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:29,320 Speaker 1: that that's it. Anything. If you mock anybody else, you 1479 01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:31,880 Speaker 1: can't make jokes. You can't make jokes about women, you 1480 01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:35,719 Speaker 1: can't make jokes about any particular ethnic group, anything else. 1481 01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:39,280 Speaker 1: You are going to get slammed by the social justice left. 1482 01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:41,200 Speaker 1: We know that the good news is that people like 1483 01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:44,320 Speaker 1: what they like, and I'm happy to see that the 1484 01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:48,320 Speaker 1: public at large, left, right and everything, everything altogether, everyone 1485 01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:52,160 Speaker 1: thinks that Sticks and Stones by Dave Chappelle is hilarious. 1486 01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:54,880 Speaker 1: Because it is hilarious. We can't let this go on. 1487 01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,400 Speaker 1: They would take it out five hundred billion dollars a 1488 01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:01,599 Speaker 1: year out of this country, including tellectual property theft which 1489 01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:06,680 Speaker 1: was rampant. So our farmers will be helped. Nobody that 1490 01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,400 Speaker 1: we've done more for it than our farmers, and they understand. 1491 01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:11,479 Speaker 1: You have to win the war with This is a 1492 01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:16,280 Speaker 1: trade war, trade battle. You can call it anything you want. 1493 01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:18,479 Speaker 1: And this should have been done by presidents before me, 1494 01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:20,679 Speaker 1: and not just President Obama. This should have been done 1495 01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:23,599 Speaker 1: by President Bush and President Clinton. This should have been 1496 01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:27,200 Speaker 1: done a long time ago. China has been absolutely the 1497 01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:31,200 Speaker 1: World Trade Organization has been a disaster for the United States. 1498 01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:35,080 Speaker 1: China has taken advantage of it and US, and that's 1499 01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,599 Speaker 1: not happening anymore. But the farmers have been taken care 1500 01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:41,479 Speaker 1: of sixteen billion dollars and twelve billion dollars each year. Okay, 1501 01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:47,400 Speaker 1: everything that Trump just said there about the US posture 1502 01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:51,759 Speaker 1: towards China under his administration, everything said there's true. Previous 1503 01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:56,720 Speaker 1: administrations should have dealt with this and didn't. China is 1504 01:29:56,800 --> 01:30:00,800 Speaker 1: ripping us off, is playing dirty. The World Aid Organization 1505 01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:03,240 Speaker 1: should never have let China in, and it has been 1506 01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:06,960 Speaker 1: a disaster. Everything he's saying there is true, and we 1507 01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:10,040 Speaker 1: are supposed to skip past all of that in our 1508 01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:13,960 Speaker 1: assessment of this president as it relates to trade and 1509 01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,479 Speaker 1: just more generally. I mean, yet, Bernie Sanders today saying 1510 01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:23,120 Speaker 1: probably the most dangerous president in the history of presidents, Well, 1511 01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:24,600 Speaker 1: why is it that this president is supposed to be 1512 01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:26,559 Speaker 1: so dangerous? Is the only one who understands what we're 1513 01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:30,120 Speaker 1: really dealing with when it comes to China? Why did 1514 01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:31,960 Speaker 1: it come to the why why did it fall on 1515 01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:36,400 Speaker 1: this president to have to be the one who's willing 1516 01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:40,360 Speaker 1: to deal with this, willing to be in a position 1517 01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:42,519 Speaker 1: where he'll take the political heat. You know, what was 1518 01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:46,360 Speaker 1: the last time you can think of any of any 1519 01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:51,519 Speaker 1: politician who was doing something that he was right, He 1520 01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:54,000 Speaker 1: knew he was right, he was paying a political price, 1521 01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:55,880 Speaker 1: and he said, I know I'm gonna pay a political 1522 01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:57,439 Speaker 1: price for this anyway, but I want to do it. 1523 01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:00,200 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it never happens. But that kind 1524 01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:06,160 Speaker 1: of leadership is rare. It is not the norm. Much 1525 01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:08,320 Speaker 1: more common for people to say, well, what's the most 1526 01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:10,840 Speaker 1: what is the most popular thing thing I can do here? 1527 01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:15,559 Speaker 1: The thing that will most most likely result in my 1528 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:22,320 Speaker 1: continued continuation in power, my continued ability to hold the 1529 01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:24,400 Speaker 1: office I hold and they do that thing, and that's 1530 01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:27,000 Speaker 1: not what Trump is doing on China now. I do 1531 01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:31,360 Speaker 1: think that because of the focus on getting on getting 1532 01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:33,400 Speaker 1: a trade deal done, or at least on continuing to 1533 01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:36,880 Speaker 1: wage the trade war, the White House hasn't been as 1534 01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:40,360 Speaker 1: vocal and Trump hasn't been as vocal in support of 1535 01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:43,160 Speaker 1: the protesters in Hong Kong as I would like. But 1536 01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:49,519 Speaker 1: I understand he's trying to balance those two very important things, 1537 01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:52,760 Speaker 1: and ultimately, for us, here's the reality a trade war 1538 01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:54,559 Speaker 1: is more important than what's going on in Hong Kong. 1539 01:31:55,680 --> 01:32:06,320 Speaker 1: Might sound harsh, but that's true. Hey Dean Buck, it's 1540 01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:23,000 Speaker 1: time for Roll Call. I'm still very partial job Stall call. 1541 01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:24,599 Speaker 1: I always will be. I don't know why. I think 1542 01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:27,639 Speaker 1: it gets me the most fired up of our various 1543 01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:33,240 Speaker 1: Roll Call intros. So some fun news for all of you. 1544 01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:38,320 Speaker 1: As of end of this month, the show is going 1545 01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:42,240 Speaker 1: to be available via podcast earlier on in the day. 1546 01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:46,360 Speaker 1: We're hoping by three pm Eastern, so you can start 1547 01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:50,519 Speaker 1: to get this thing in your daily routine in time 1548 01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:54,559 Speaker 1: to drive home, in time for your commute or a 1549 01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,240 Speaker 1: prepping dinner. You no longer have to wait for the 1550 01:32:57,320 --> 01:33:02,439 Speaker 1: podcast until late at or nine pm, eastrom which is 1551 01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:06,519 Speaker 1: what it had been until pretty recently. Facebook dot com 1552 01:33:06,520 --> 01:33:11,400 Speaker 1: slash Buck Sexton. That's how we get this party started. 1553 01:33:12,479 --> 01:33:18,920 Speaker 1: Let's get to it. Owen Buck listening to yesterday's podcast, 1554 01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:22,880 Speaker 1: and you asked about a movie. I think you were 1555 01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:29,720 Speaker 1: thinking of Army of Darkness, Ding ding ding. You are correct, sir, 1556 01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:34,280 Speaker 1: I was thinking about Army of Darkness and I've never 1557 01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:37,280 Speaker 1: I've still never seen it. Producer Mark, you can just 1558 01:33:37,439 --> 01:33:38,880 Speaker 1: you can just give me the nod here. Did you 1559 01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:43,240 Speaker 1: ever see Army of Darkness? No, he doesn't. He doesn't 1560 01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:46,160 Speaker 1: mess with that childish nonsense, producer Mark only. He only 1561 01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:50,920 Speaker 1: sticks at the classics. H William next up here. I 1562 01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:54,120 Speaker 1: think you're missing the point about sleepy Joe. I think 1563 01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:56,519 Speaker 1: the reason he is still topping the polls is simple. 1564 01:33:56,880 --> 01:34:00,360 Speaker 1: The Democratic voters are not as crazy left as the 1565 01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:04,799 Speaker 1: party thinks they are. So the average dem won't vote 1566 01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:07,040 Speaker 1: for Trump, but also doesn't want to vote for a 1567 01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:09,799 Speaker 1: radical leftist. So Joe, with all of his false gaffs 1568 01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:13,840 Speaker 1: and senior moments, looks like the most sane person to them. 1569 01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:18,000 Speaker 1: She'll tie, that is, William. I mean, you're certainly correct 1570 01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:22,439 Speaker 1: from the perspective of why Joe Biden has the support 1571 01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:24,920 Speaker 1: that he does up to this point, even though it 1572 01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:32,280 Speaker 1: is quite clear that Biden is not a really a marquee, 1573 01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:36,479 Speaker 1: a first tier national level politician. And it is because 1574 01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:38,960 Speaker 1: he does have the name recognition thanks to his eight 1575 01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:44,920 Speaker 1: years as Obama's vice president, and he seems like a 1576 01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:50,680 Speaker 1: dogmatic but not insane Democrats. That's the best thing you 1577 01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,200 Speaker 1: could say for Joe Biden. Now he's also very old, 1578 01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:55,840 Speaker 1: he seems like he gets lost a lot, and there's 1579 01:34:55,840 --> 01:35:00,639 Speaker 1: all of that stuff. But here we have it. Jason, 1580 01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:04,720 Speaker 1: all right, buck, I've got to say I find it 1581 01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:08,839 Speaker 1: pretty disgraceful that Betto would be running on the backs 1582 01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:13,000 Speaker 1: of those killed in El Paso and elsewhere. He's using 1583 01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:15,120 Speaker 1: the slaughter of innocence to try and keep himself in 1584 01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:18,400 Speaker 1: the race for the presidency. Shame on him, and the 1585 01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:21,920 Speaker 1: sooner he drops out, the better it would be for 1586 01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:26,600 Speaker 1: the nation. I saw, Paul Jason, it was pretty fantastic. 1587 01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:29,200 Speaker 1: It was my favorite poll that I've seen in quite 1588 01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:34,120 Speaker 1: a while, because the pole had Betto at a whopping 1589 01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:39,120 Speaker 1: zero percent nationally at this point. Now, I don't know 1590 01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:42,360 Speaker 1: if that's an accurate pole or not, but I did 1591 01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:45,719 Speaker 1: see it, and it feels like betto Beto is a zero, 1592 01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:48,800 Speaker 1: so he should be at zero. Buck, Why are you 1593 01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:51,840 Speaker 1: so mean? I'm totally just singing this song to your 1594 01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:55,120 Speaker 1: girlfriend because I want to be her friend. I'm not 1595 01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm not that guy at the front party with a 1596 01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:01,600 Speaker 1: guitar who's just heading to be your girlfriend's friend. But like, 1597 01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:04,519 Speaker 1: how's other things in mind? I'm not that guy, Buck, 1598 01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:10,280 Speaker 1: I'd give myself an eight exactly exactly. He would always 1599 01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:14,160 Speaker 1: give himself an A. But he's a zero zero for 1600 01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:21,360 Speaker 1: betto Susan. Here we go. Hey, Before I started my business, 1601 01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:24,519 Speaker 1: I had a bumper sticker that read halt climate Change, 1602 01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:29,040 Speaker 1: I like seventy and Sonny. Before that, I worked for 1603 01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:31,680 Speaker 1: the government going to public sector businesses, and I had 1604 01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:36,120 Speaker 1: another bumper sticker that read government adult supervision required. Because 1605 01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:38,559 Speaker 1: of a union flap, we could have any bumper stickers 1606 01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:41,439 Speaker 1: we wanted. I also copied a bumper sticker I saw 1607 01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:45,200 Speaker 1: annoy a liberal work succeed be Happy. I got the 1608 01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:51,080 Speaker 1: most positive comments on that one. Love the show Shields High. 1609 01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:53,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I used to have a mug with Rumsfeld 1610 01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:54,760 Speaker 1: on it. Back in the day. I had a lot 1611 01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:59,080 Speaker 1: of right wing kitch I think you could say I 1612 01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:05,040 Speaker 1: had a lot of collectibles and Bush Gewat. I was 1613 01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:08,120 Speaker 1: big into the GWAT, the Global War on Terror At, 1614 01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:11,840 Speaker 1: a lot of Gewat memorabilia. I don't really have much 1615 01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:14,680 Speaker 1: of it anymore. I've got I've reached the point now 1616 01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:19,200 Speaker 1: where all my old CIA stuff, all my stuff from 1617 01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:22,880 Speaker 1: countries all over the world, and photos of me, you know, 1618 01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:25,840 Speaker 1: briefing the president and doing other cool stuff, that's all 1619 01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:27,880 Speaker 1: just like locked away in a closet now. I don't really, 1620 01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I used to have a little almost 1621 01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:35,559 Speaker 1: like a shrine to government service in my very small apartment, 1622 01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:38,760 Speaker 1: but now it's it's an under the bed in a 1623 01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:43,120 Speaker 1: plastic tupperware bin kind of thing shrine. So yeah, I'm 1624 01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:46,960 Speaker 1: not as I'm not as into the remembrance of those 1625 01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:52,679 Speaker 1: government days. C k hey buck, you mentioned General Mattis 1626 01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:55,120 Speaker 1: saying he had seven thousand books and read them all. 1627 01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:57,040 Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if you meant you didn't think he 1628 01:37:57,080 --> 01:38:00,000 Speaker 1: could have read that many. My my love of book 1629 01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:03,519 Speaker 1: second only to my love of Dalmatians. I don't know, ck, 1630 01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:09,200 Speaker 1: that's already, that's strike one. I'm just kidding. Dalmatians are fine. 1631 01:38:09,439 --> 01:38:13,640 Speaker 1: They're very pretty if you like dogs that don't necessarily 1632 01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:16,360 Speaker 1: have the Swedish temperament. I'm just I'm gonna lose. I'm 1633 01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:18,400 Speaker 1: gonna lose a listener here. I'm kidding. Ck, I'm kidding. 1634 01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:21,280 Speaker 1: Dalmatians are great, and I'm guessing I have thousands of 1635 01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:24,160 Speaker 1: books myself, she writes, I'm kind of afraid to attempt 1636 01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:26,240 Speaker 1: to count them. With bookcases in almost every room in 1637 01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:29,840 Speaker 1: my house, including the garage and the basement, finding books 1638 01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:31,679 Speaker 1: for ten cents at a thrift shop is like hitting 1639 01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:33,840 Speaker 1: the lottery. For me, I read approx. Me a one 1640 01:38:33,880 --> 01:38:37,040 Speaker 1: hundred books a year. It seems quite possible for General 1641 01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:39,840 Speaker 1: Matters to have read seven thousand over the course of 1642 01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:42,800 Speaker 1: his life so far. Good Reads is a fun app 1643 01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:44,640 Speaker 1: to keep track of what you've read. Even if I 1644 01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:46,600 Speaker 1: live to one hundred, they'll still be books awaiting in 1645 01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:49,479 Speaker 1: my shelves. Fill your house with stacks of books and 1646 01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:52,160 Speaker 1: all the crannies and all the nooks doctor Seus's words 1647 01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:55,160 Speaker 1: of wisdom. Love your show, buck Ck, thank you for 1648 01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:57,880 Speaker 1: your note. And maybe maybe I'm just annoyed at myself 1649 01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:00,960 Speaker 1: because I feel like I used to rip through more 1650 01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:04,040 Speaker 1: books and more quickly than I have in the last 1651 01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:06,720 Speaker 1: couple of years because I've been very busy trying to 1652 01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:08,800 Speaker 1: do this whole media thing. I still read. I still 1653 01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:14,479 Speaker 1: read books. I actually just finished I just finished the 1654 01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:21,200 Speaker 1: Kevin Williamson's book on Socialism, which I found very very interesting. 1655 01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:26,439 Speaker 1: It's pretty he deep dives, that's for sure. And I'm 1656 01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:28,840 Speaker 1: actually in the process right now. I've really died. I 1657 01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:30,719 Speaker 1: kind of want to read this book just on salt 1658 01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:35,400 Speaker 1: that I downloaded. It's just salt, but the history of 1659 01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:37,320 Speaker 1: it and how important. I know it sounds weird, but 1660 01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:40,559 Speaker 1: it was a best seller. I think Kurlanski, I think 1661 01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:42,760 Speaker 1: the name of the author I might read that. We'll see. 1662 01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:44,599 Speaker 1: I'll let you guys know. You know, I did see 1663 01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:48,880 Speaker 1: something yesterday the guy who is behind the Goldman Sacks 1664 01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:52,400 Speaker 1: elevator account, which at one point was one of the 1665 01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:57,280 Speaker 1: funniest parody accounts on Twitter period. Now the funniest parody 1666 01:39:57,320 --> 01:40:01,240 Speaker 1: account on Twitter is Titanium McGrath, No question, Titany McGrath 1667 01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:06,559 Speaker 1: is the best social media parody account on Twitter that 1668 01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:09,120 Speaker 1: I have seen. And I'm a fan. I like to 1669 01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:13,479 Speaker 1: think that I'm a social media parody connoisseur. May we 1670 01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:18,200 Speaker 1: be a seer, but Titaniy McGrath is woker than woke, 1671 01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:21,799 Speaker 1: is the way I would describe it. But Goldman Sachs Elevator, 1672 01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:25,800 Speaker 1: especially in the aftermath of the two thousand and eight 1673 01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:33,600 Speaker 1: financial meltdown, was just a really funny and biting satire 1674 01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:37,840 Speaker 1: of investment banker attitudes. That guy published a list of 1675 01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:40,160 Speaker 1: the hundred books that you have to read if you're 1676 01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:43,920 Speaker 1: that every man has to read. And I looked at 1677 01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:45,479 Speaker 1: it was a pretty good list. But there's a lot 1678 01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:48,080 Speaker 1: of stuff on there that I think that people just 1679 01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:50,800 Speaker 1: believe they have to read because everyone else said so. 1680 01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:54,400 Speaker 1: So maybe I'll come up with a little list of 1681 01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:57,080 Speaker 1: my own at some point. I know, I keep saying, 1682 01:40:57,080 --> 01:40:59,720 Speaker 1: I'll post all the books you guys want. I just 1683 01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:02,120 Speaker 1: post all the books are all my Kindle online on 1684 01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:04,240 Speaker 1: a list, and you can see what I've read and 1685 01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:07,880 Speaker 1: see what I'm still hoping to get to. So there's 1686 01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:10,639 Speaker 1: a lot that look at. If I could, I would 1687 01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:13,280 Speaker 1: just spend three hours a day reading a book reading 1688 01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:15,880 Speaker 1: books two hours if I if I had my way, 1689 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,720 Speaker 1: two hours a day of just reading books. But it's 1690 01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:20,920 Speaker 1: very hard to carve out. I got two hours day 1691 01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:22,320 Speaker 1: to read the books. I gotta go to the gym 1692 01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:25,040 Speaker 1: for an hour I gotta And then some days I'm 1693 01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:28,120 Speaker 1: just in sweats, trying to prepare for radio and TV 1694 01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:30,000 Speaker 1: and things, and I never get any of these things done. 1695 01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:33,360 Speaker 1: It's tough, you know what it's like, folks. Procrastination is 1696 01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:35,960 Speaker 1: the devil that sits on all of our shoulders all 1697 01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:40,599 Speaker 1: the time, Steph, book, could you move into the belly 1698 01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,200 Speaker 1: or rather, how could you move into the belly of 1699 01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:45,479 Speaker 1: the beast? No matter how much I love the culture there, 1700 01:41:45,520 --> 01:41:48,840 Speaker 1: I would never live there. I go to Amorous to 1701 01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:51,080 Speaker 1: visit family and can't get out of there quick enough. 1702 01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:53,519 Speaker 1: I love lefty hippies as long as they are three 1703 01:41:53,800 --> 01:42:01,080 Speaker 1: states away. Shields Hill. Well, Steph, I'd say, you know, 1704 01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:04,160 Speaker 1: I'm from New York, and so I can't seed this 1705 01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:07,360 Speaker 1: place to the commies entirely. You know, I can't bring 1706 01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:14,200 Speaker 1: myself to be completely I can't abandon my hometown, even 1707 01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:16,639 Speaker 1: though I know they are all these leftists running around 1708 01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:18,240 Speaker 1: and who run everything and all the rest of it. 1709 01:42:18,280 --> 01:42:22,439 Speaker 1: So we'll see Thorburn. Hi there, Buck, if you'd like 1710 01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:25,200 Speaker 1: to discuss the more recent mass shootings are Thorburn. That's 1711 01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:28,320 Speaker 1: a cool Thorburn sounds like the name of a character 1712 01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:31,920 Speaker 1: from Game of Thrones, you know, Thorburn of the North, 1713 01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:37,960 Speaker 1: Thorburn of the Two Swords.

Whatever either, Buck, if you'd like 1715 01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:44,280 Speaker 1: to discuss the more recent mass shootings across the country 1716 01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:47,360 Speaker 1: and perhaps the why and the how behind their frequency, 1717 01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:49,400 Speaker 1: I know of a man who's spoken on the topic 1718 01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:51,600 Speaker 1: more than once and is, to say the least, very insightful. 1719 01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:54,280 Speaker 1: So with the possibility that you'll have another segment where 1720 01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:56,600 Speaker 1: you decide to talk about America's endless mass shootings, and 1721 01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:59,240 Speaker 1: you'd like to bring him on the name, the guy 1722 01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:03,960 Speaker 1: is Tom Freel.

The government of the Bahamas 1762 01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:12,000 Speaker 1: is bloated, corrupt and bankrupt, so recovery is not going 1763 01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:13,559 Speaker 1: to be easy for them.
