WEBVTT - CNN's 7 Hour Climate Change Madness

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.319
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the Freedom Hunt. CNN is in the

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 1>midst of a seven hour climate change extravaganza of insanity.

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:25.760
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about that and also the latest on Walmart

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>caving to the far left on guns. There's also now

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>going to be a renewed discussion over universal background checks.

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>We got that and much more coming up on The

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show, where

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>the mission or mission is to decode what really matters

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>with actionable intelligence. Mag No mistake, America, You're a great

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>American Again. The buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst, Remember an

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>unprecedented Democratic Prince sinential town hall event, climate crisis, Biden,

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Warren Sanders, Paris, boot Y, Yang Castro, ten candidates, ten

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>town halls, all on one night, tonight, five Eastern, seven

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>hours of climate change madness. Welcome to the buck Sexton Show.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Everybody tonight, Yang Cloba, Shore, Biden, if he remembers to

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:34.119
<v Speaker 1>show up, it's amazing. It's amazing. Seven hours. I mean,

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>if we made detainees watch this CNN climate change town hall,

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure it would be a violation of a

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Geneva convention. Like I think there's a real case to

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>be made that being forced to watch this CNN climate

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>change town hall under any circumstances might be a crime

0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>against humanity. You can't make this stuff up seven hours now.

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I know that they expect those are all, but we're aren't,

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, expecting people. No, No, I'm sure there's some

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.079
<v Speaker 1>CNN people like I need to watch all of this

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>otherwise the climate's just going to destroy us all. Wow,

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>that does feel a bit like there might be some

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>exploitative timing here as well, with a hurricane that is

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>just shy of being a category three. Now it's a

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>category two, but very close to being a three, and

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>it has strengthened in the last few hours to propagate

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>this narrative that what we are doing is the cause

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>that we are the cause of this destruction. Our activity,

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>meaning our economic day to day activity, is the reason

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>that this is befalling us. You have to just marvel

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>at the disconnect from reality that liberals are engaged in here,

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>and just also seven hours. As if that wasn't enough, MSNBC, oh,

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>that's right. They want to get in on this action too.

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>They announced earlier today Climate Forum twenty twenty, a two

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:21.519
<v Speaker 1>day event featuring the twenty twenty presidential democrats. Now to this,

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I just want to say, excuse me, MSNBC, but if

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 1>you really cared about climate change, wouldn't your two day

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>climate change event be more like a week? Oh? I'm sorry,

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>don't have enough time to save the world. What a oh,

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>what a bunch of what a bunch of lunacy. This

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>is Andrew Yang, who has some good somebody I shouldn't

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>say he doesn't have good ideas. He has interesting ideas.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, Andrew Yang is the guy who's like, you know, like,

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe we could build you know, I don't know,

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe we could build a sports stadium the floats in

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the air, and we're all like, oh interesting, probably really

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>expensive and can't work. But you know, you like to

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>debate and discuss some of the things that he puts

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>out there. And he also comes across like a reasonably earnest,

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>nice guy, so you know he's not mean. You know,

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>he comes across as really mean to me all the time.

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Is boodha judge. I just seems mean, never seems to

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.839
<v Speaker 1>smile and make a joke, do anything even vaguely funny

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and self aware. He's just always like lecturing everybody, and

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>especially about the Bible, which he has a seemingly loose

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>familiarity with. But Yang wants a carbon tax of forty

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>to one hundred dollars per ton. This is just this

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 1>is just a massive, a massive government takeover of whole

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>sectors of the economy. That's all. That's all that's going

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>to happen. That's what's going to come from this. You know,

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be the reality. And they're going to

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>try to enrich themselves here. I mean, they're going to

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.919
<v Speaker 1>try to enrich government coffers by telling you that the

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>world is going to end. You know, I'm looking at

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and they all release their climate change proposals in advance

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.479
<v Speaker 1>of this whole town hall thing, right, and these candidates

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>you look at them, it's all the same, because what

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>are you really going to say, other than let's abandoned prosperity.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's abandon what has brought more people as a function

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.279
<v Speaker 1>of technology and the impact on our day to day lives.

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Fossil fuels have done more to bring people out of poverty.

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>And because also you have to see the system of

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>capitalism that we have is built upon industrialized economies that

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>rely on fossil fuels. So really, the attack on CO

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 1>two such as it is, is an attack on capitalism,

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>which is why there's so much crossover with Marxist rhetoric

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and thinking with all of it. But yeah, Yang's up there.

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, clubush are all of them, And you know,

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats in the audience, I really wish that I

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.040
<v Speaker 1>could sit down with them, one after the other. I'm

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about the people that watch this and say to them,

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you really, you really believe that the world is going

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:17.159
<v Speaker 1>to that the whole cities will be underwater. You know,

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>these are people, mind you that make fun of anybody

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.479
<v Speaker 1>who reads the Bible for the most part and says, oh,

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 1>you believe that this thing happened, you know, two thousand

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>years ago or three thousand years ago, and you know

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.479
<v Speaker 1>in ancient Israel and at all that they Meanwhile, they're

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the ones that think that because AOC claims that cow

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 1>farts are doing too much damage to the atmosphere, we're

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>all going to be threatened with extinction if we don't

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>decide to radically upend the economy all the things that

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 1>have brought us comfort and food and travel and air conditioning.

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's make that much more expensive, which means much

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 1>more inaccessible, much more inefficient, and let's do it all

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.720
<v Speaker 1>because the people that keep telling us we're running out

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:07.720
<v Speaker 1>of time are extending the time. Whenever we've run out

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 1>of the time. They said we didn't have seven hour

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>town halls, you know, I mean, this is this is

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 1>what you expect because this is this is turned into

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 1>a radical belief. It has gone from something that is

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>in the background and now it is. It is a necessary,

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>a necessary precondition for being a Democrat, for being a

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>leftist in good standing, you must support abortion, you must

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>support climate change, and increasingly you must support open borders.

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>But climate change is an absolute Now you are not allowed.

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 1>You cannot be a heretic on this and be in

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>good sending with the left because they have so much

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>riding on this. They really do view this as a

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>way to seize more power in your life via the

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 1>government than would have ever been thought possible before. I mean,

0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to create a benevolent Green East totalitarian society.

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>That's why they're having a seven hour town hall at

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>CNN and a two day town hall at MSNBC. We've

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>got more on this day with me. The hurricane. We

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>got lucky in Florida, very very lucky. Indeed, we had

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>actually our original chart was that it was going to

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>be hit hitting Florida's directly. Maybe I could just see that, Kevin,

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 1>it was going to be hitting directly, and I would

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>have affected a lot of other states. But that was

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the original chart, and you see it was going to

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 1>hit not only Florida, but Georgia could have was going

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.439
<v Speaker 1>toward the Gulf. That was what we what was originally projected,

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.719
<v Speaker 1>and it took a right turn and ultimately hopefully we're

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be lucky. It depends on what happens with

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>South Carolina, North Carolina, but it's heading up the coast.

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>The President giving an update there on the US mainland

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 1>damage of Hurricane Dorian, as he was saying, it looks

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>like Florida did not get hit his badly as could

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>have been the case. The Bahamas got hit very hard though,

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the footage of that devastation is just

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a reminder of the power of Mother Nature despite

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>all of our technological advances, also that the world is

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>still a very uncertain and can be a very dangerous

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.439
<v Speaker 1>and unforgiving place. And you think about the Bahamas, a

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>locale generally associated in most people's minds with paradise. That's

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.679
<v Speaker 1>where they go to get away from all their problems.

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>And then you see what's happened to the people who

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>live there, Bahamians, and it's just it's heartbreaking. Home's gone.

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I think there's one I think on Grand Bahama Island.

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>If I read correctly today, half of structures are either

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 1>gone or severely damaged, which is just an astonishing number.

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Will hopefully beginning them aid as quickly as possible. I

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.319
<v Speaker 1>know that there are some states in the southeastern United

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:59.080
<v Speaker 1>States that are also facing this thing, and just want

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>everyone down there to know, you know, you're in our prayers,

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and please just air on the side of caution. You know.

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I always feel like it's easy to tell people, oh,

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>just listen to the authorities. Well, you know, you know,

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 1>as a conservative, I'm always also saying, you understand your situation.

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>You have the ability to improvise at the local level,

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>especially for yourself and your family, that no government could

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 1>ever have. But you should take into account the warnings

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>and the assessments that are given to you. And I

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>think that err on the side of caution is just

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>a good, a good rule when dealing with storms. And

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I remember here in New York City a number of

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 1>times getting ready for very big storms and people had

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>we had all this water on hand, and you know,

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>once or twice it turned out to just be a

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>pretty windy rain storm. And then there was Hurricane Sandy,

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 1>which was the big one that people had been worried

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>about for some time. But any my thoughts and prayers

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 1>everybody down there and the southeast United States, and we

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>will keep following the story as this goes through the week.

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 1>One other part of the new cycle that is getting

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>very little attention this week. I mean, I told you

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>yesterday about the story of the labor department labor department

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>employee who was fired and was fired because of what

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>is a really a false and defamatory allegation from a

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:23.680
<v Speaker 1>lib reporter at Bloomberg. The border wall is getting built.

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 1>This this is going to happen. There is going to

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>be new border wall construction. Now, there could be some

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>challenges in the courts, but here's what the here's what

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the president president says about this appropriation of funds from

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:45.479
<v Speaker 1>within the DoD budget. It was a few billion dollars presidents.

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:50.079
<v Speaker 1>This if this goes forward, folks, this is delivering or

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 1>at least in the process of delivering on a promise.

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>And the wall is being built. It's going up rapidly.

0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.839
<v Speaker 1>It's I guess most of you have been able to

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>We're building very large sections of wall. It's a big

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.080
<v Speaker 1>factor was we just won the big Supreme Court case,

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>as you know, and we we're building in different sections.

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 1>We're building different sections simultaneously, and we think by the

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>end of next year, which will be sometime right after

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the election, actually, but we think we're going to have

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:25.559
<v Speaker 1>close to five hundred miles of wall which will be complete.

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.959
<v Speaker 1>That'll be what we wanted to do, is about five

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>hundred miles that will take care of all of the

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>areas that we wanted, including some of the marginal areas

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that we didn't necessarily need. But if we could have

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 1>gotten it done, we were looking to do about a

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 1>five hundred mile stretch. We should have it almost complete,

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>if not complete, by the end of next year. By

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 1>the end of next year, just in time for the

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 1>American people to assess whether President Trump keeps his promises.

0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 1>It is essential and I really, I really think this

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 1>needs to be emphasized that is essential that the president

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>deliver on the promise of building a wall at the

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.559
<v Speaker 1>southern border. He was mocked for this endlessly by his opponents,

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 1>including a lot of Republican opponents, really all of them.

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 1>In the early days, he has been ridiculed on this

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>matter in the press. Even though I've spoken to border patrol,

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 1>been down to the border. They think that wall in

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of areas is very helpful. And all the

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 1>border patrol officers that I've spoken to are quite supportive

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>of President Trump. That's including border patrol that has about

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 1>a twenty five percent of border patrol or veterans and

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:44.680
<v Speaker 1>about thirty percent I believe or Latino and they're all

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:50.200
<v Speaker 1>very supportive of President Trump's overall approach to the border.

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Feelings in the border, and you know, they understand what

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the mission said is and what's going on down there.

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 1>But this is big. I mean, if he can get

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>if he can get even a up one hundred miles

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 1>of wall built, now, it's going to be challenging the courts.

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.959
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be challenged the courts. I have to wonder, though,

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>at what point, uh, you know, at what point is

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the executive branch going to say that, you know, we're

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>not going to be constrained in day to day actions

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 1>that are within our purview by a solitary federal judge

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>somewhere that you know, you're gonna have a universal injunction

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>from some judge who's gonna say you can't do this.

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Federal government's not allowed to all the things one judge

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 1>and to say sorry, you know, I I gotta wonder

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>at what point, at what point does the administration say, Okay,

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 1>we'll see you in court, but we're we're not going

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 1>to we are not going to concede that a federal judge.

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, what if a federal judge says that the

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 1>president's uh, you're not allowed, not allowed to sign a bill,

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to sign bills anymore, you know, the president

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 1>under some interpretation of the Procedure Act, you know, the

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>president's not allowed to sign a any more laws. Sorry,

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Is the executive branch going to respect that and say, yeah, sure,

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>the President's not the president anymore? What if a federal

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>judge says that the that the president United States, all

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 1>of the laws passed while he's in office, everything he

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>signed is null and void because he's not really the

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>president because of Russia collusion. I mean, federal judge could

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>could take that opinion. I mean they've they've taken opinions

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 1>that are obviously wrong on other matters of executive branch

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>activity under Trump. So what happens then, is the administration

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>really obligated to just say, yeah, you know what, you're right?

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Not even and I'm not saying that they just ignore entirely.

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>They go to court, but you know, pending pending review

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 1>is no longer going to just be okay, you say,

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 1>we can't do this, So let's wait nine months, let's

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 1>wait a year as this makes its way through the courts,

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 1>so that a higher court not packed with Obama appointed lunatics,

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, leftist uh, leftist activists in judges robes, is

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 1>not in place to just say yeah, sure, you know,

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>we're hashtag resistance. You know. I think at some point

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the administration gets gets to a level or they say, um, sorry,

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're we're gonna we'll meet you in court

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>on this one, and if we're found to have overstep,

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 1>we'll stop. But you cannot tie the hands of the

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>executive branch on any matter you want, for pure for

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 1>pure political spite just because you happen to be a

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 1>federal judge. And you know, maybe maybe this, maybe what

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying isn't the answer. But if that's not the answer,

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 1>then you know what has to be the answer. Start

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 1>impeaching federal judges. You got to start having consequences for

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the lawlessness of left wing judges on the bench who clearly,

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and you see it, an opinion after opinion, and they

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 1>can overturned time and again, clearly view their role as

0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 1>stopping Trump from enacting policy and using his executive authority.

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.679
<v Speaker 1>And that's not their job. So if they are betraying

0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 1>their offices, they're betraying the power entrusted to them as

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 1>federal judges by viewing their role as hashtag resistance in

0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.439
<v Speaker 1>judges robes. And you're going to see it on this

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.360
<v Speaker 1>wall because you know, it's it's not the wall so

0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:26.199
<v Speaker 1>much that bothers the Libs. It's that tramp, although it

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>does it does certainly bother them. And also keep in

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 1>mind that once that thing goes up and illegal crossings

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:36.360
<v Speaker 1>go down in sector after sector. Let's just remind ourselves

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>of how many journalists wolves don't work. Wolves don't work.

0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.200
<v Speaker 1>The dumbest talking point you've ever heard in your life,

0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 1>were repeated ad nauseum on CNN and MSNBC. But there

0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 1>must be consequences for this judicial activism that's meant to

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>just stymy Trump. They are terrified, really, I mean the Democrats,

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the left are terrified that Trump will follow through on

0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:04.439
<v Speaker 1>this promise, proving that their claims that he was it

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.760
<v Speaker 1>was all a fraud. He never intended to build a wall,

0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:09.440
<v Speaker 1>and that he was just going to betray his base

0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>was wrong, that they were, that they were wrong, and

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:19.199
<v Speaker 1>perhaps they were lying. So that's why they, for political

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>reasons for winning in twenty twenty, they're going to do

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>everything they can to stop construction of this wall because

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 1>if Trump, if he in my mind, if Trump follows

0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.879
<v Speaker 1>through on this promise, he could withstand anything for reelection,

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 1>including a recession. I think if he gets the wall built,

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.880
<v Speaker 1>he could even get reelected if we hit a recession.

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 1>That's how important this is. Right back, there is no

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:50.440
<v Speaker 1>divide among scientists. Less than two percent of climate scientists

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 1>are skeptical about climate change. We have twelve years from

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen until twenty and thirty to either address this

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>or if we're going to have a versable damage. There

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>is a growing danger that the ice cap will melt

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.560
<v Speaker 1>in Greenland and we will have you know, there won't

0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.199
<v Speaker 1>be a big ice cap in the summer UH, and

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.640
<v Speaker 1>that the net result of that is that we're going

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to have a rise in sea levels UH that will

0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:19.000
<v Speaker 1>be significant coming from Greenland and added to other sources

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>of new new water, higher water, we could have cities

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 1>in the United States engulfed UH and floods or or

0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:36.640
<v Speaker 1>gergen um or a climate change from Nixon, Ford and Reagan, Melton,

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Greenland and were gurgling gurgan over there at sea and

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, he's a he's a climate

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:49.280
<v Speaker 1>change guy. Climate climate catastrophe, climate crisis. I think that's

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 1>what they've settled on more recently. I pose this to

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you again. I think any fair minded person could ask

0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.119
<v Speaker 1>this question and would have the same reaction I did

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.920
<v Speaker 1>to it, which is, how how crazy are they allowed

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to get before we can just tell them that we're

0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:08.000
<v Speaker 1>not We're not going to listen to this anymore. Cities

0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.959
<v Speaker 1>are going to be underwater. Why would anyone believe that

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:16.240
<v Speaker 1>by the time the cities would actually be underwater? I mean, yeah,

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 1>in five hundred years and five thousand years. I don't know. Maybe,

0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.679
<v Speaker 1>but then we'll have you know, floating floating buildings or something,

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:24.919
<v Speaker 1>or you know, or we'll have a way to create

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:29.359
<v Speaker 1>giant hair dryers in a thousand years that basically like

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 1>mop up all the excess moisture. Who knows, you don't know.

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe my giant hair dryer ideas probably about as sound

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:41.200
<v Speaker 1>as the science from that movie Armageddon. I don't want

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.639
<v Speaker 1>to clothe my eyes. You don't talking about Mark. You

0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 1>saw that one, that's right, the animals, the animal crackers scene.

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.040
<v Speaker 1>We all remember it. So uh yeah, man, I look,

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Gergan's over there. Everyone has to has to march to

0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the same crazy climate tune over there or shittys under

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.440
<v Speaker 1>irreversible dammers. They were saying this ten years ago, there's

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.359
<v Speaker 1>like this ten years before that. How many times we

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.120
<v Speaker 1>have to go through a ten years cycle? And they're wrong.

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 1>And even if we did everything that they think they

0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:18.399
<v Speaker 1>want to do, it wouldn't do anything unless you're going

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:23.280
<v Speaker 1>to invade India and China and tell them to stop carbonizing.

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's another part of this, the restriction on

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.359
<v Speaker 1>wealth creation in the third world, that you have to

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:34.360
<v Speaker 1>be okay with In order to make a serious dent

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:38.200
<v Speaker 1>in CO two emissions, I mean, to really turn around

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>CO two emissions, you would have to tell the third world, hey,

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.800
<v Speaker 1>you're not allowed to go through the same processes of

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:52.639
<v Speaker 1>wealth creation and the attendant prosperity for your people that

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 1>we did in the developed world. Oh and so they're

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:58.080
<v Speaker 1>aware of this, and that's why I guess what we

0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 1>start doing Global Marxism, the redistribution of wealth from the

0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>First world as penance, as a as a form of

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:09.919
<v Speaker 1>it's like in indulgence back in the day in the

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:12.959
<v Speaker 1>Catholic Church, right, we would pay off the third world

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 1>because we've gotten so rich putting all this CO two

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:18.879
<v Speaker 1>in the air, which is now I mean just that

0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:21.639
<v Speaker 1>they call CO two, which is a naturally occurring gas,

0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 1>which is a small percentage of the overall atmosphere. I

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 1>think it's less than I don't want to say it.

0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:31.440
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely less than two percent, and I don't want

0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 1>to say what the exact numbers off the top of

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:34.679
<v Speaker 1>my heads. I forget Producer Mark, tell me how much

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:38.879
<v Speaker 1>CO two? What percentage of our atmosphere is? In fact?

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 1>CO two, if you would please, because I'll lose my

0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 1>train of thought otherwise. But these these changes in the designation,

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 1>that changes in the rhetoric. You know, this is all.

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:53.199
<v Speaker 1>This is all because they keep getting it wrong and

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 1>they have to come up with a new This is

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 1>narrative creation in real time. And I just when it

0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>comes to individuals changing their behavior. You know, I I

0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:07.679
<v Speaker 1>am forced by the City of New York. I know

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 1>you guys get I get so bitter about this, but

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I hate recycling. I freaking hate recycling. It's so stupid.

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.160
<v Speaker 1>It is such a waste of everybody's time. But there

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I am washing out my milk, my milk carton and

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 1>like putting it in the recycling band of blah BLI

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:25.120
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah blah. Way, what is the CEO two?

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:27.880
<v Speaker 1>It seems like less than one percent? Okay, I said

0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:29.840
<v Speaker 1>less than two Yeah, less than one percent. There we go,

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, producer mark less than one percent of the the atmosphere.

0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>We really think that a minor percentage change and less

0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:41.120
<v Speaker 1>than one percent of the world's atmosphere is worth All

0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:45.240
<v Speaker 1>of this, all this uh you know, a hubbub, All

0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:49.879
<v Speaker 1>this all this noise from the left, I mean, CNN

0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:54.720
<v Speaker 1>is is like doing the equivalent of reading war and

0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Peace in its entirety on air, except it's about the climate,

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:05.919
<v Speaker 1>and we are basing this on what exactly. The people

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:07.760
<v Speaker 1>that are the most vocal about it won't even change

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:11.720
<v Speaker 1>their own behavior. Look at what they do. I think

0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:14.119
<v Speaker 1>it was recently one of the you know, the British

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Royal family, and I think all that British Royal family

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.080
<v Speaker 1>stuff is ridiculous. I know people get all, oh, but

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:21.719
<v Speaker 1>but they're so fancy and they're like a part of

0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:27.680
<v Speaker 1>a tradition for UK and all this other it's so no, no,

0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:30.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm not into it. I don't like it. It's weird.

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Not into monarchies. Um, not into people hiring family members either,

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 1>but uh, you know for political from elected office. But anyway,

0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 1>there's that's a conversation for another time. Uh. This stuff

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>that people like David Gergen is saying is just manifestly

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:54.600
<v Speaker 1>in saying, but this is what is expected of you,

0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:56.720
<v Speaker 1>this is what you're told to do. I will say

0:24:56.720 --> 0:25:01.119
<v Speaker 1>that there's a there's a we need a climate, and

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:02.679
<v Speaker 1>maybe this would be the But the problem is if

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:04.199
<v Speaker 1>I wrote this book, they would say, first of all,

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:05.879
<v Speaker 1>I have to take time off from doing things like

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:08.280
<v Speaker 1>this show, which I love. So that's a no one

0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:10.960
<v Speaker 1>has really written on the right, and someone's going to

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>send me a link to a book that has ten

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Amazon reviews and has been read by like thirty people.

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:18.080
<v Speaker 1>So please don't do that. Okay, I can do an

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Amazon search too. On climate change, no one has written

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:31.439
<v Speaker 1>the equipped, the game changing conservative perspective on climate change

0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 1>in book form. Yet, you know, no, we need we

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:39.159
<v Speaker 1>need a an inconvenient truth from the right. You know,

0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:43.440
<v Speaker 1>we need something that becomes a cultural and political phenomenon

0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:48.480
<v Speaker 1>that is the argument against this crazy that will reach everyone,

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:52.639
<v Speaker 1>that everyone can understand and work with and and rely

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:54.959
<v Speaker 1>on for the facts that it presents, but also the

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:58.239
<v Speaker 1>argument that it makes. We don't really have that, you know.

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:02.800
<v Speaker 1>You you see, here's a examples you have, you know,

0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Jonah Goldberg with liberal fascism. I mean that book, all

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:08.639
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden people realize, Hold on a second, the

0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:11.880
<v Speaker 1>fascists were leftists. I mean history proves this, and yeah,

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 1>there's national socialists and people have been aware of this

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 1>for a while, but that book was a was a

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:23.800
<v Speaker 1>conversation changer on that issue. And Culter Audios America on immigration,

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigration specifically and the Wall. That book was a

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 1>conversation changer. And I've said to you it's really why

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:34.399
<v Speaker 1>Trump became president. So whether you know what lover or

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:36.880
<v Speaker 1>don't lover her, you guys all know, I think she's

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty great. But you know, and Culter is the single

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 1>author who is probably most responsible for the rise of

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Trump to the presidency. And also whether you love that

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 1>or not, I leave that to you. But there are

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:50.919
<v Speaker 1>other books that are like this that are changed. You know,

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Whittaker Chambers Witness. That's a masterpiece. But that changed national

0:26:56.640 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>perception about communist infiltration of America. It was real, it

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:05.400
<v Speaker 1>was happening, it was systematic. You know, we don't have

0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that for climate change yet, and we need that. I mean,

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.200
<v Speaker 1>we need someone who goes, look, here are the predictions

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 1>they've made. Here's all the quotes, here the you know,

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 1>even when they when they start out, you know, Gergan

0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 1>goes ours, there's no where or separation or science community weber, uh,

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:24.919
<v Speaker 1>well except for the two percent of scientists. Well, do

0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:28.400
<v Speaker 1>two percent of scientists not believe in gravity? Do two

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:32.200
<v Speaker 1>percent of scientists? Uh, not believe that the world is round?

0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Because if two percent of scientists think that climate change

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:41.000
<v Speaker 1>alarmism is not supported by the science and is in

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:44.520
<v Speaker 1>fact nuts. Shouldn't we do a little bit of investigation

0:27:44.560 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 1>into why that is instead of saying, well, regard or

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:50.159
<v Speaker 1>regarding our three eight percent or ninety eight, there's ninety

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:54.399
<v Speaker 1>rush eight, which there's one hundred, except there's two and

0:27:54.680 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 1>two percent or two hundred ninety eight, we're I I'm sorry,

0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:03.159
<v Speaker 1>but I just will never forget being on panels at

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:06.720
<v Speaker 1>them and they're like, wait, wait, everybody be quiet, gurgling

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Gurgen has some political insights to share contrens Democrats from

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Reager Niction forward. So it's like, who is this guy?

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I know he's worked for every presidents in Zabraham Lincoln,

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:22.840
<v Speaker 1>but I really just don't I really just don't think

0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I need to hear this. But we need that, though,

0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:27.359
<v Speaker 1>and someone has to someone has to step up and

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:30.680
<v Speaker 1>do it, and preferably what it really has to be

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>is a person who understands the messaging and the political fight,

0:28:37.080 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 1>and probably teaming up with somebody who, in a way

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 1>that is undeniable, has the background and facility and capacity

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 1>to understand the full scope of the science. You know,

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I wish there's a way I could I could help

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>this come about, but this needs to be done. There

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:58.160
<v Speaker 1>are trillions of dollars at stake because of this insanity

0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 1>from or Left, literally trillions of dollars. And they still

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 1>tell us all this stuff. They still keep claiming that

0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 1>if we don't make massive changes to our lifestyles, if

0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 1>we don't do all these things at the telling us

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 1>we have to do, you know, the world's going to end.

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 1>This is what they're saying. The world is going to end.

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Unless you believe that Ocasio Cortez knows how to remake

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the American economy to save the world and make it better.

0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>And if you believe that, well then you probably deserve

0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 1>to live in the crappy country that she's going to create.

0:29:33.840 --> 0:29:36.800
<v Speaker 1>That's just this is it's a republic if we can

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 1>keep it. It's a capitalist, prosperous society if we're not

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:42.440
<v Speaker 1>too stupid to let it keep doing what it does.

0:29:42.520 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 1>But that's you know, with all these little socialists running around,

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 1>that's increasingly that's increasingly a problem. The truth is that

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>these storms that are hitting the Caribbean with this intense

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:59.360
<v Speaker 1>magnitude are historic, unprecedented, and these storms are man made.

0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Storm the Virgin Islands was hit by two Category five

0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>storms only two years ago while President Trump indeed was

0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:13.040
<v Speaker 1>our president. The people who are most vulnerable to these

0:30:13.080 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 1>man made storms are the ones who, in all cases

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 1>are not the contributing factors to the carbon emissions that

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 1>are causing these storms. These storms are being caused in

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:31.080
<v Speaker 1>huge part because of capital US. North American capital and

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:33.840
<v Speaker 1>places like the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas are the

0:30:33.920 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 1>ones that are most vulnerable to these things. You see, folks,

0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the developed world is responsible for this. That's what they

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:47.280
<v Speaker 1>developed world is creating these man made storms. There is

0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:52.360
<v Speaker 1>no evidence, it does not exist that any particular storm

0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 1>is manmade. This is a complete fabrication. There is no

0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>evidence for this at all. They say that overall global

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:05.640
<v Speaker 1>overall global temperature is they're talking about a point zero

0:31:05.760 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 1>one degree rise over the last couple of years, and

0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:11.160
<v Speaker 1>that's going to Oh now, the storms are really crazy. There.

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 1>There have been storms for as long as there have

0:31:14.000 --> 0:31:17.120
<v Speaker 1>been storm systems. Okay, I mean this is but the

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:19.080
<v Speaker 1>people going to be This was a professor at Emory.

0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:21.800
<v Speaker 1>But she's giving away a bit more of the game here,

0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:28.080
<v Speaker 1>which is that this is ultimately about a global Marxist approach.

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:31.760
<v Speaker 1>And this is where the redistribution of wealth comes in,

0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:36.760
<v Speaker 1>because a developed economy for the last one hundred and

0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:41.800
<v Speaker 1>fifty years, an industrialized economy is inextricably linked, is in

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:47.520
<v Speaker 1>fact built upon a foundation of carbon emission. So if

0:31:47.560 --> 0:31:51.760
<v Speaker 1>you can isolate carbon emission as destroying the planet, every

0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:55.560
<v Speaker 1>more developed, wealthy society in the world is going to

0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:59.120
<v Speaker 1>bear a greater share of that burden and therefore has

0:31:59.160 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 1>to pay the equivalent of environmental reparations to the developing

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 1>world to repair the damage that has been done to

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the environment by a world where we have smartphones and

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:19.680
<v Speaker 1>computers and everyone drives around in a very you know,

0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:24.120
<v Speaker 1>comfortable car with all kinds of electronics that can drive,

0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:26.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, for hundreds of thousands of miles pretty much

0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:28.240
<v Speaker 1>before it really falls apart. I mean the cars these days.

0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:30.520
<v Speaker 1>One of the problems of car industry has cars can

0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 1>last twenty years easily, so, you know, but but to

0:32:34.200 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 1>leave in though and then play. People always think of

0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 1>fossil fuels. Then they think, oh, it goes in the car,

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'll just bicycle to work. Half half of oil

0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 1>specifically is used in products, you know, from plastics to

0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 1>petroleum jelly to so you are buying things all the

0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 1>time that are reliant on fossil fuels in their very creation,

0:32:56.440 --> 0:33:00.040
<v Speaker 1>never mind in their transport or their refrigeration or of

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the guys getting to work. This is an attack on capitalism.

0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 1>You have to see it in those terms. You have

0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:10.040
<v Speaker 1>to understand why it is so essential to the left

0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 1>that they can brainwash people and just just bludging them

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 1>into this belief that you know, CO two is a

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:20.680
<v Speaker 1>global threat and we're all living on borrowed time unless

0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:23.600
<v Speaker 1>we hand the keys of our economy over to AOC,

0:33:23.840 --> 0:33:27.120
<v Speaker 1>which is that that's a terrifying thought. It should be

0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:31.320
<v Speaker 1>a terrifying thought for anyone that the people that are

0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:33.720
<v Speaker 1>pushing this the most that they don't know what the heck.

0:33:33.760 --> 0:33:35.600
<v Speaker 1>They don't know what they're talking about on the science,

0:33:35.600 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and they don't understand the impact on the economy. And

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:44.960
<v Speaker 1>what's perhaps even more frightening, they don't care. They have

0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>a messianic vision of themselves here that they are saving

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the planet. And therefore, if you really believe at pushing

0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:55.640
<v Speaker 1>this climate change nonsense, you're going to save the planet.

0:33:57.080 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 1>What would you not be willing to do? This is

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the the challenge whenever you're dealing with extremism is that

0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the extremist is always able to justify any behavior because

0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:13.359
<v Speaker 1>they decontextualize their own thoughts and their own actions from

0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 1>reality around them, and they create an alternative reality where

0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:20.879
<v Speaker 1>whatever they think is necessary must be done because of

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:25.759
<v Speaker 1>the threat, whether it's Antifa with fighting against fascism or

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:28.840
<v Speaker 1>a climate change alarmist with fighting against CO two in

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the air, and the rest of us, the sane, rational

0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:36.359
<v Speaker 1>adult world look at them and say, what is wrong

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:39.560
<v Speaker 1>with you people? What do you what are you not

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:44.399
<v Speaker 1>able to understand here? Climate change is a religious belief.

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean you can go back and do it. Do

0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 1>an anthropological study of civilizations throughout history, and they have

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:54.640
<v Speaker 1>their their creation myths, and they also have their end

0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 1>of day's stories, all of them do. And you know

0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:00.680
<v Speaker 1>this ties deeply into the human psyche as well. You know,

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:03.640
<v Speaker 1>we we want to believe or you know, our minds

0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:07.000
<v Speaker 1>attached to this notion that, uh, there could be an

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:10.160
<v Speaker 1>end coming, because then it makes it feel like we

0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:15.319
<v Speaker 1>aren't so insignificant, because once we're gone, perhaps everything is gone. Right,

0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:17.560
<v Speaker 1>once we're gone, the whole world is going down. No,

0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the world is going to go on and on and on,

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:23.920
<v Speaker 1>and we will be long since forgotten. There is a

0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:28.880
<v Speaker 1>soleopsism that is also at the heart of the psychology

0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:33.040
<v Speaker 1>of the climate change alarmists. You know this. This gives

0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:35.400
<v Speaker 1>them a greater sense, a greater sense of purpose in

0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:37.480
<v Speaker 1>their day to day they're fighting against climate change, but

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>also a purpose in the cosmos. Oh, everything is going

0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:44.439
<v Speaker 1>to end. No, it's not, folks, I'm here to tell you.

0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:52.719
<v Speaker 1>It's just nothing about It is not a bottle, it's

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:58.640
<v Speaker 1>not about it's about costating. The US settleson the gig,

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:02.880
<v Speaker 1>take us blaying, I'll sit out of my way. Was

0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and none. This is over in this tat of New York.

0:36:06.520 --> 0:36:11.400
<v Speaker 1>The room and puck detti. That's true. That's how I'm who.

0:36:11.480 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I want this US Americans freedoms. You got the write

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and do that. I have the right to do this.

0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 1>That's why I do not like white libras a Democrats.

0:36:19.680 --> 0:36:22.120
<v Speaker 1>They are the worst owned this earth. A white liberal

0:36:22.480 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 1>and a Democrat wants to control you. That's what they

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:28.840
<v Speaker 1>want to do. They are puck debting. So there you

0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:31.200
<v Speaker 1>had in Grand Central right here in New York City,

0:36:31.239 --> 0:36:36.960
<v Speaker 1>a an African American Trump twenty twenty supporter called in

0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:41.040
<v Speaker 1>this video exchange with a Democrat I believe also African

0:36:41.080 --> 0:36:44.200
<v Speaker 1>American Democrat. They're getting into the back and forth over

0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:47.880
<v Speaker 1>more or less you know, how could you be a

0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:51.360
<v Speaker 1>how could you be black in this country and support Trump?

0:36:51.400 --> 0:36:54.440
<v Speaker 1>That's what the Democrat was saying. And I want to

0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:58.920
<v Speaker 1>step back for a moment from the the the specifics

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:01.759
<v Speaker 1>of the twenty twenty election and whether Trump has been

0:37:02.480 --> 0:37:04.760
<v Speaker 1>good or bad for the black community in this country.

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you look at unemployment numbers, you look at

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:12.560
<v Speaker 1>overall economic metrics, and those are clearly favorable for Trump,

0:37:12.640 --> 0:37:17.120
<v Speaker 1>specifically with African American and Latino communities. It's it's always

0:37:17.160 --> 0:37:19.319
<v Speaker 1>lost in the discussion about the Latino vote and how

0:37:19.320 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump is such an anti Latino racist that you had

0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:26.080
<v Speaker 1>almost thirty percent of Latino's vote for him in the

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:28.799
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen election. Was I think twenty eight or twenty

0:37:28.840 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 1>nine percent overall, So that's a lot of people when

0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you added up nationally who are Latino and support Trump.

0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:41.560
<v Speaker 1>But the Democrats have to borrow one of their words

0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:51.799
<v Speaker 1>normalized what is and inherently and inherently unethical, And I

0:37:51.840 --> 0:37:55.960
<v Speaker 1>would argue irrational point of view, and that is that

0:37:56.120 --> 0:38:01.319
<v Speaker 1>you have there is an acceptable and aptible perspective to

0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 1>have based upon one's ethnicity, skin color, national origin, and

0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:13.160
<v Speaker 1>that that should be replicated throughout society. On pain of

0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:19.279
<v Speaker 1>social ostracism, on being pushed out of your community, on

0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:24.799
<v Speaker 1>being cast out from whatever group you may mean. They

0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:26.400
<v Speaker 1>used to call them when I was in college, they

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:28.440
<v Speaker 1>called it an affinity group. I don't know if that's

0:38:28.440 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 1>still a phrase that's used on college campuses, but an

0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:32.319
<v Speaker 1>affinity group was. You know, if you are a member

0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:35.759
<v Speaker 1>of the Latino Coalition or the African American Coalition, that

0:38:35.800 --> 0:38:38.400
<v Speaker 1>was your affinity group on a college campus. You you

0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:41.200
<v Speaker 1>are pushed out from that group if you think differently

0:38:41.760 --> 0:38:44.680
<v Speaker 1>about certain matters. And I do think it's so interesting

0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:48.759
<v Speaker 1>that it's not even issue by issue, it's not even

0:38:48.840 --> 0:38:51.600
<v Speaker 1>issue specific. It's you must support a democrat. Now we

0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:55.600
<v Speaker 1>know why. I mean, none of this is surprising to us.

0:38:56.160 --> 0:38:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And you will see this be a centerpiece. I mean, yeah,

0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:03.160
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna talk about free this and free that, and uh,

0:39:03.480 --> 0:39:07.080
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be pushing the socialism that someone else will

0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:09.799
<v Speaker 1>pay for. And remember every time socialism has been tried

0:39:09.840 --> 0:39:13.640
<v Speaker 1>in any country it's always told to the majority that

0:39:13.719 --> 0:39:17.040
<v Speaker 1>someone else is going to pay. It's always that you know,

0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:19.200
<v Speaker 1>this isn't gonna cost you, It's going to cost somebody else,

0:39:19.239 --> 0:39:22.359
<v Speaker 1>which is why, at least for in a short term

0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:25.200
<v Speaker 1>sense and in a society where there are enough people

0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:30.200
<v Speaker 1>who can be fooled, it can be a powerful political appeal.

0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Someone else is gonna pay. You're gonna get all the

0:39:33.000 --> 0:39:36.759
<v Speaker 1>free stuff, someone else will pay for it. Uh. In

0:39:36.840 --> 0:39:40.440
<v Speaker 1>our country, though, in into twenty twenty, what you're going

0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:46.759
<v Speaker 1>to see is a focus on identity politics that is

0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the strongest it has it has ever been in the

0:39:51.239 --> 0:39:57.160
<v Speaker 1>sense of a negative focus toward the Republican Party, you know,

0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:00.800
<v Speaker 1>under the Obama administration and when President Obama was running

0:40:00.800 --> 0:40:04.040
<v Speaker 1>clearly identity politics. It's very powerful to have and and

0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:09.360
<v Speaker 1>this was understandable that you know, as an African American

0:40:09.400 --> 0:40:12.799
<v Speaker 1>in this country, the first black president. That's it. Look,

0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:16.080
<v Speaker 1>it is a compelling story. Let's just be honest about it.

0:40:16.080 --> 0:40:18.520
<v Speaker 1>It is. It's a compelling story. And I can understand

0:40:18.520 --> 0:40:23.200
<v Speaker 1>why the black community reacted in the way that it did,

0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:25.160
<v Speaker 1>not just the first time around, but the second time around.

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Although the second time around for Obama's reelection. I do

0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:31.120
<v Speaker 1>think there's more of a casema that. Okay, well, but

0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:33.080
<v Speaker 1>was he a good president? I mean, forget about the

0:40:33.200 --> 0:40:36.279
<v Speaker 1>historic nature of it. Was he a good president? You're

0:40:36.280 --> 0:40:39.240
<v Speaker 1>going to have all that enthusiasm and energy to vote

0:40:39.400 --> 0:40:44.320
<v Speaker 1>for Obama is going to now be turned against Trump

0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:48.839
<v Speaker 1>in the next in this next election cycle. And you know,

0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:52.279
<v Speaker 1>with they tried to do enthusiasm for Hillary last time

0:40:52.280 --> 0:40:54.279
<v Speaker 1>around because people still thought of Trump as a joke.

0:40:54.800 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 1>But this isn't Trump as a joke. Vote for the

0:40:56.880 --> 0:41:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Democrat that was twenty sixteen, twenty twenty is going to

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 1>be Trump is an evil racist like Hitler, vote for

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:08.920
<v Speaker 1>anyone other than him. And if you are a minority

0:41:09.080 --> 0:41:12.640
<v Speaker 1>and you vote for Trump, there you know you are

0:41:12.760 --> 0:41:16.120
<v Speaker 1>part of his evil. You are helping to destroy this

0:41:16.160 --> 0:41:19.919
<v Speaker 1>country and oppress people from within your own, your own

0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:24.840
<v Speaker 1>community of color. That's that's going to be the narrative storyline.

0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:28.839
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be this deeply negative approach to all

0:41:28.880 --> 0:41:35.600
<v Speaker 1>things Trump. And I would just note that they start

0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 1>with a fallacy here, and the fallacy is Democrats start

0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:44.640
<v Speaker 1>with a fallacy that you should think about your relationship

0:41:44.680 --> 0:41:48.920
<v Speaker 1>to the state, You should think about politics very broadly

0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:52.680
<v Speaker 1>based upon your skin color, first and foremost, that that

0:41:52.800 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 1>is a determining factor in how you would vote, how

0:41:56.640 --> 0:42:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you think, how you think of things like as varied

0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:08.160
<v Speaker 1>as abortion, border security, healthcare, tax rates, foreign policy. That

0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:12.680
<v Speaker 1>skin color should be a defining factor for human beings

0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:16.839
<v Speaker 1>in how they approach all these different issues. And it's

0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:25.120
<v Speaker 1>an astonishingly in my view, it's an astonishingly destructive approach

0:42:25.600 --> 0:42:29.200
<v Speaker 1>for this country to our political fabric. I think all

0:42:29.320 --> 0:42:33.240
<v Speaker 1>this talk about how divisive things are, there is really

0:42:34.280 --> 0:42:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I think you could argue no area of our politics

0:42:39.120 --> 0:42:43.160
<v Speaker 1>that is more divisive, and largely because of the way

0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:46.600
<v Speaker 1>it is exploited by the ruling class. There's nothing that

0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:50.319
<v Speaker 1>is more divisive than racial politics in this country. Which

0:42:50.360 --> 0:42:53.200
<v Speaker 1>is why you know CNN likes to fan the flames

0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:56.839
<v Speaker 1>of this literally in the cases of the coverage and

0:42:56.880 --> 0:42:59.919
<v Speaker 1>the and the enthusiasm and the real encouragement that many

0:43:00.239 --> 0:43:04.400
<v Speaker 1>CNI and reporters had for the Black Lives Matter movement,

0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:08.400
<v Speaker 1>even when there were instances of it burning down neighborhoods

0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and looting stores, CNN was, oh, look at this, this

0:43:12.120 --> 0:43:15.440
<v Speaker 1>is this is people speaking out against police suppression and violence.

0:43:16.840 --> 0:43:20.719
<v Speaker 1>But we should never accept that the way that they

0:43:20.880 --> 0:43:24.760
<v Speaker 1>approach this is okay. And more, we should never accept

0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:31.080
<v Speaker 1>that the basic, the basic approach that Democrats insist on

0:43:32.040 --> 0:43:35.960
<v Speaker 1>from minorities is you are Asian, you are Black, you

0:43:36.000 --> 0:43:40.440
<v Speaker 1>are Hispanic, you're anything. Therefore you must vote Democrat. And

0:43:40.480 --> 0:43:43.240
<v Speaker 1>if you don't, no one wants to hear your reasons.

0:43:43.440 --> 0:43:47.439
<v Speaker 1>No one wants to have a conversation. You are voted out,

0:43:47.480 --> 0:43:51.719
<v Speaker 1>so to speak. You are cast out from your community,

0:43:52.800 --> 0:43:56.759
<v Speaker 1>so damaging, and they do it so frequently that we

0:43:56.800 --> 0:43:59.440
<v Speaker 1>almost don't notice it anymore. And I'm just I'm imploring

0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:03.160
<v Speaker 1>you to keep that in your mind as we enter

0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:08.120
<v Speaker 1>what's going to be the most contentious election. It's I'm

0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:10.239
<v Speaker 1>not saying it's the most important. You know, everybody says

0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:12.480
<v Speaker 1>no, No No, I do believe this will be the most

0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:18.280
<v Speaker 1>contentious election cycle of my lifetime. You will never see

0:44:18.440 --> 0:44:23.799
<v Speaker 1>a nastier, more bitterly fought political contest than Trump versus

0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:27.360
<v Speaker 1>whoever's up against him. Because they're trying to prop up

0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:30.240
<v Speaker 1>a whole squad of losers with these this Democrat field,

0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:33.000
<v Speaker 1>most notably Joe Biden, and the only way they really

0:44:33.040 --> 0:44:35.919
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna win is to just heap so much

0:44:36.000 --> 0:44:40.160
<v Speaker 1>trash on top of Trump that it's it's it's overwhelming.

0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:42.680
<v Speaker 1>And one of the ways they're going to try to

0:44:42.680 --> 0:44:46.920
<v Speaker 1>create that enthusiasm for dumping on Trump is going to

0:44:46.960 --> 0:44:51.440
<v Speaker 1>be by exploiting racial division and playing to identity politics.

0:44:53.960 --> 0:45:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you correctly say you have to a little bit?

0:45:04.000 --> 0:45:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me? Could somebody please silence the crying baby. I

0:45:07.360 --> 0:45:10.520
<v Speaker 1>know I look like a cuddly grandpa, but I'm trying

0:45:10.520 --> 0:45:13.920
<v Speaker 1>to spread Marxism here. It's hard work. I get tired,

0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I get grouchy. No no babies, No little capitalist babies

0:45:18.040 --> 0:45:22.920
<v Speaker 1>making noise in the background. Please, only little Marxist babies

0:45:23.640 --> 0:45:29.640
<v Speaker 1>with you know, hammer and sickle Onesie's on. Please. Bernie Sanders, Man,

0:45:29.760 --> 0:45:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders still a top contender for the for the race.

0:45:34.719 --> 0:45:37.440
<v Speaker 1>It's it's amazing, It really is. You have to think

0:45:37.440 --> 0:45:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to yourself, what what is this country coming to when

0:45:41.360 --> 0:45:46.000
<v Speaker 1>someone with so little connection to the reality of our

0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:51.880
<v Speaker 1>economy and such a a completely inadequate and inadequate understanding

0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and unacceptable understanding of basic you know micro economics, right,

0:45:57.239 --> 0:46:00.400
<v Speaker 1>which is a study of the specifics of how economics

0:46:00.440 --> 0:46:04.200
<v Speaker 1>plays out in transactions and for businesses, and you know

0:46:04.680 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 1>this is this is the basics of supplying demand. Uh.

0:46:07.520 --> 0:46:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Someone who doesn't understand this at all has has no

0:46:11.560 --> 0:46:14.560
<v Speaker 1>connection to the realities of how an economy functions. He's

0:46:14.600 --> 0:46:18.000
<v Speaker 1>still a very viable presidential candidate. It's it's madness. But

0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know that we're still supposed to be

0:46:19.960 --> 0:46:26.439
<v Speaker 1>focused on the on the gun issue, and I don't

0:46:26.440 --> 0:46:29.040
<v Speaker 1>think anything is going to change. Although we'll have my

0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:31.520
<v Speaker 1>friend David Harsani joining here to second, we'll talk about

0:46:31.719 --> 0:46:35.880
<v Speaker 1>universal background checks. There is this story that the Odessa

0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:40.200
<v Speaker 1>shooter got a firearm from a private sale after being

0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:45.000
<v Speaker 1>denied a firearm through a background check. Uh, you know,

0:46:45.040 --> 0:46:47.800
<v Speaker 1>there is there is that story. I would just say

0:46:50.040 --> 0:46:53.879
<v Speaker 1>that we are going to eventually reach a point where

0:46:53.880 --> 0:46:57.799
<v Speaker 1>we've heard every talking point from the Democrats so many

0:46:57.840 --> 0:47:00.480
<v Speaker 1>times that we are we are numb to it. And

0:47:00.480 --> 0:47:02.920
<v Speaker 1>then the question becomes, are we going to just say

0:47:03.040 --> 0:47:04.839
<v Speaker 1>enough as enough, well we'll just do something to shut

0:47:04.880 --> 0:47:07.399
<v Speaker 1>them up, or will we be able to tune it out.

0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I hope it is the latter, but there are If

0:47:11.160 --> 0:47:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at this from the piece by piece perspective

0:47:13.680 --> 0:47:19.799
<v Speaker 1>gun rights, uh, you know there's some loosening of restrictions

0:47:19.800 --> 0:47:22.240
<v Speaker 1>in Texas, and that there are places where you see

0:47:23.680 --> 0:47:26.880
<v Speaker 1>action being taken at the state level. And certainly the dcv.

0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Heller decision at the Supreme Court was very helpful to

0:47:30.560 --> 0:47:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the Second Amendment at the federal level, but it really

0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:35.120
<v Speaker 1>just kept a Second Amendment from being eradicated. I think

0:47:35.120 --> 0:47:37.839
<v Speaker 1>people need to remember that dcv. Heller just meant that

0:47:38.160 --> 0:47:40.920
<v Speaker 1>you do have the right as a law abiding citizen

0:47:41.400 --> 0:47:45.200
<v Speaker 1>to have a firearm in your home, and that and

0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:48.320
<v Speaker 1>that they can't just say no guns for you anywhere,

0:47:48.360 --> 0:47:51.560
<v Speaker 1>because it's a right. Okay, so that's but if that

0:47:51.719 --> 0:47:53.520
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a right, then there's no such thing as a

0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:56.240
<v Speaker 1>second and then the Second Amendment is is null and void.

0:47:56.600 --> 0:48:01.000
<v Speaker 1>So it was really taken from life support to intensive care.

0:48:01.080 --> 0:48:07.399
<v Speaker 1>But it was definitely a minimal, a minimal victory at

0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the corporate level, which is where I do think we

0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:14.680
<v Speaker 1>have to increasingly devote our attention because you know, democrats,

0:48:14.960 --> 0:48:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Democrats view the culture war and really the political war

0:48:18.800 --> 0:48:21.880
<v Speaker 1>that's going on in this country as an across the

0:48:21.960 --> 0:48:27.320
<v Speaker 1>board affair that they make no distinctions. There's no difference

0:48:27.360 --> 0:48:33.240
<v Speaker 1>to them whether they're pushing for corporate action, political government action,

0:48:33.360 --> 0:48:37.920
<v Speaker 1>they just want their way. And that's why you have

0:48:38.040 --> 0:48:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Walmart and Kroeger, for example, who are coming out and

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:44.640
<v Speaker 1>saying they no longer want anyone to openly carry in

0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:47.879
<v Speaker 1>their stores. Now they have a right to do this,

0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:51.000
<v Speaker 1>but let's understand what this accomplishes. It accomplishes nothing from

0:48:51.040 --> 0:48:53.839
<v Speaker 1>the perspective of safety. I mean, there's no such thing

0:48:54.320 --> 0:48:56.719
<v Speaker 1>as a mass shooter or a criminal of any kind

0:48:56.719 --> 0:48:59.840
<v Speaker 1>who goes, oh wow, you mean Walmart would prefer I

0:49:00.120 --> 0:49:03.560
<v Speaker 1>don't open carry in the store. I guess I'm gonna

0:49:03.640 --> 0:49:06.840
<v Speaker 1>forget about my diabolical shooting plan. That's never gonna have

0:49:07.040 --> 0:49:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that that does not exist. And uh, you know, you

0:49:13.200 --> 0:49:17.680
<v Speaker 1>have the establishment of some of these or rather some

0:49:17.719 --> 0:49:20.600
<v Speaker 1>of these stores have established new rules where they are

0:49:20.719 --> 0:49:24.280
<v Speaker 1>limiting law biding gun owners in, you know, in their stores,

0:49:24.320 --> 0:49:26.360
<v Speaker 1>things like open carry. And now I know Walmart is

0:49:26.400 --> 0:49:30.839
<v Speaker 1>no longer going to sell handgun ammunition and it will

0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:35.960
<v Speaker 1>not sell small I think it's small rifle ammunition or something.

0:49:36.040 --> 0:49:38.759
<v Speaker 1>They said, I you know, not even clear on what

0:49:38.800 --> 0:49:40.839
<v Speaker 1>the what the specifics are of the restriction, but they're

0:49:40.840 --> 0:49:44.480
<v Speaker 1>restricting ammunition sales now in response in response to what

0:49:44.520 --> 0:49:47.839
<v Speaker 1>has happened here. This follows after Dick Sporting Goods has

0:49:47.920 --> 0:49:51.120
<v Speaker 1>also dramatically restricted firearms that will be sold, and Dick

0:49:51.200 --> 0:49:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Sporting Goods did pretty well sales wise. I think the

0:49:54.760 --> 0:49:58.520
<v Speaker 1>stock is actually up, so it used to be a

0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:02.480
<v Speaker 1>used at least be the percept that companies that take

0:50:02.560 --> 0:50:07.120
<v Speaker 1>action based upon the outrage mob will suffer the consequences

0:50:07.480 --> 0:50:12.480
<v Speaker 1>when normal Americans express their displeasure with them don't shut

0:50:12.600 --> 0:50:15.319
<v Speaker 1>But that doesn't seem to be the case anywhere. There's

0:50:15.360 --> 0:50:18.600
<v Speaker 1>been a shift. You see this with Nike and Colin Kaepernick,

0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:20.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's a different issue than the gun issue, but

0:50:21.000 --> 0:50:24.200
<v Speaker 1>they've gone very deep on the social justice side of things,

0:50:24.239 --> 0:50:27.560
<v Speaker 1>very publicly. And the fact of the matter is that

0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:31.040
<v Speaker 1>if you're not a social justice warrior, are you not

0:50:31.160 --> 0:50:33.680
<v Speaker 1>going to buy your dry fit running shorts from Nike

0:50:33.840 --> 0:50:36.320
<v Speaker 1>now because of Kaepernick? The answer, let's be honest, folks,

0:50:36.840 --> 0:50:39.120
<v Speaker 1>answer is probably that no, you're still gonna buy it.

0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:42.239
<v Speaker 1>And if you are a Walmart customer now because you

0:50:42.280 --> 0:50:44.719
<v Speaker 1>can't get your ammo there, are you not going to

0:50:44.840 --> 0:50:47.399
<v Speaker 1>go buy your ammunition from wal I mean, are sorry?

0:50:47.440 --> 0:50:49.640
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to go buy your milk forget your ammunition?

0:50:49.640 --> 0:50:53.120
<v Speaker 1>You can go buy your socks from Walmart. I think

0:50:53.120 --> 0:50:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the answer there once again is probably Nope, you're still

0:50:56.160 --> 0:51:02.239
<v Speaker 1>going to go. And so the risk tolerance, the corporate

0:51:02.280 --> 0:51:05.520
<v Speaker 1>calculation has shifted out. And this is what this is

0:51:05.560 --> 0:51:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the This is the type of incrementalism that the left

0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:13.799
<v Speaker 1>is trying to accomplish with the gun issue. But now

0:51:13.800 --> 0:51:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the corporate calculation is, look that the pro gun people

0:51:17.560 --> 0:51:19.400
<v Speaker 1>are still going to shop in our store if we

0:51:19.520 --> 0:51:21.600
<v Speaker 1>just say, look, can we you know, we don't want

0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:23.160
<v Speaker 1>any part We're not taking a position on it, we

0:51:23.200 --> 0:51:26.200
<v Speaker 1>just don't want any part of this. We're not going

0:51:26.239 --> 0:51:28.240
<v Speaker 1>to sell ammunition or we're not going to sell handguns

0:51:28.280 --> 0:51:32.120
<v Speaker 1>or whatever it may be, and the anti gun people

0:51:32.200 --> 0:51:36.520
<v Speaker 1>will leave us alone. So this then becomes the safer

0:51:36.600 --> 0:51:39.480
<v Speaker 1>option for them, even for a place like Walmart, that

0:51:39.680 --> 0:51:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I believe is generally associated, at least in the minds

0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:48.640
<v Speaker 1>of people on the coasts with more red state and

0:51:48.760 --> 0:51:51.560
<v Speaker 1>rural areas. Now, is that not if it's probably not

0:51:51.600 --> 0:51:53.759
<v Speaker 1>fair of Walmart's really just the biggest retailer. It's very

0:51:53.760 --> 0:51:57.200
<v Speaker 1>big in some inner city locations, and I understand that,

0:51:57.280 --> 0:52:00.440
<v Speaker 1>but people think of Walmart as you know, very all

0:52:00.480 --> 0:52:04.680
<v Speaker 1>American store that serves all kinds of communities, but especially

0:52:04.760 --> 0:52:06.960
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of rural communities, it's a it's almost

0:52:06.960 --> 0:52:09.320
<v Speaker 1>a superstore where you get all your stuff. There're not

0:52:09.360 --> 0:52:14.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna sell guns. So these companies now are changing there,

0:52:14.840 --> 0:52:17.800
<v Speaker 1>they're changing their risk parameters. And it's not necessarily that

0:52:17.840 --> 0:52:20.480
<v Speaker 1>they want to be woke. They just don't want to

0:52:20.520 --> 0:52:23.880
<v Speaker 1>get attacked by woke and they feel like our side

0:52:23.920 --> 0:52:29.880
<v Speaker 1>of this equation is less mobilized against them, you know,

0:52:30.200 --> 0:52:32.279
<v Speaker 1>or we won't mobilize against them just because they don't

0:52:32.320 --> 0:52:34.759
<v Speaker 1>want to get in the middle of this. And then

0:52:34.760 --> 0:52:36.440
<v Speaker 1>of course you have the other side of or you

0:52:36.480 --> 0:52:39.200
<v Speaker 1>have the additional side of this, where you know, San

0:52:39.239 --> 0:52:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Francisco is now declaring the nra AT a domestic terrorist

0:52:41.880 --> 0:52:46.959
<v Speaker 1>organization and people have completely lost their minds. They there's

0:52:47.000 --> 0:52:50.879
<v Speaker 1>so much, there's so much ignorance on the issue of

0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:53.919
<v Speaker 1>gun culture, the Second Amendment in this country, and I'm

0:52:54.000 --> 0:52:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm right in the midst of it here in a

0:52:55.640 --> 0:52:58.879
<v Speaker 1>place like New York City where if I can tell

0:52:58.920 --> 0:53:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you this, if I now, I couldn't legally open carry

0:53:03.520 --> 0:53:05.919
<v Speaker 1>in New York from my understanding of New York laws

0:53:05.960 --> 0:53:09.239
<v Speaker 1>under any circumstances, you can conceal carry a handgun if

0:53:09.239 --> 0:53:11.439
<v Speaker 1>you get a very tough to get permit and it's

0:53:11.480 --> 0:53:15.200
<v Speaker 1>really hard. Um. But let's just say if I could

0:53:15.239 --> 0:53:17.160
<v Speaker 1>open carry in New York, if that changed law and

0:53:17.160 --> 0:53:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I walk, people would look at me like I was

0:53:19.640 --> 0:53:21.440
<v Speaker 1>a threat and it might actually lead to an incident.

0:53:21.440 --> 0:53:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, somebody might assume that I would have ill

0:53:24.760 --> 0:53:27.239
<v Speaker 1>intent if I were open carrying in this city and

0:53:27.360 --> 0:53:29.360
<v Speaker 1>they didn't think that I was a law enforcement officers

0:53:29.360 --> 0:53:33.719
<v Speaker 1>of some kind. So, you know, the cultural changes, the

0:53:33.800 --> 0:53:36.200
<v Speaker 1>corporate changes. Even though I don't think there are any

0:53:36.200 --> 0:53:38.600
<v Speaker 1>massive legal changes coming to the Second Amendment and to

0:53:38.640 --> 0:53:41.320
<v Speaker 1>the right to bear arms, there's all this other stuff

0:53:41.360 --> 0:53:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and the left is achieving that we'll get more into

0:53:44.200 --> 0:53:55.600
<v Speaker 1>this in just a moment. President. What is it define

0:53:55.680 --> 0:53:58.840
<v Speaker 1>what an assault weapon? Ass Yeah, well, the assault weapons

0:53:58.880 --> 0:54:00.200
<v Speaker 1>is where you can send my own amount of because

0:54:01.680 --> 0:54:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and also when you put in the high high capacities

0:54:07.800 --> 0:54:11.080
<v Speaker 1>on days, what is an assault weapon? Well, I would

0:54:11.120 --> 0:54:14.800
<v Speaker 1>say the team definitely qualified. But what is an assault weapon?

0:54:14.880 --> 0:54:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Can you define what an assault weapons? Got an interview?

0:54:19.719 --> 0:54:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I think you know it's the weapon that killed assault

0:54:23.840 --> 0:54:27.680
<v Speaker 1>weapon is the weapon that killed nine people, nine people

0:54:28.040 --> 0:54:31.759
<v Speaker 1>in Dayton in thirty second. Can you I just want

0:54:31.840 --> 0:54:34.239
<v Speaker 1>him to answer what an assault weapon is? Can you

0:54:34.280 --> 0:54:38.920
<v Speaker 1>define what an assault weapons? I certainly can't be legislation.

0:54:39.280 --> 0:54:44.239
<v Speaker 1>Can you define it? Can you define it? Uh? They're

0:54:44.280 --> 0:54:46.719
<v Speaker 1>having some trouble there defining what an assault weapon is,

0:54:47.120 --> 0:54:50.840
<v Speaker 1>which is not surprising, but they still want to ban them.

0:54:50.960 --> 0:54:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Our friend David Harsani joins now. He's the author of

0:54:54.080 --> 0:54:58.000
<v Speaker 1>First Freedom, A Ride through America's Enduring History with the Gun,

0:54:58.040 --> 0:55:01.960
<v Speaker 1>an excellent book on the history of guns in this country.

0:55:02.160 --> 0:55:04.200
<v Speaker 1>And also he's a senior editor at The Federalist. A

0:55:04.280 --> 0:55:07.560
<v Speaker 1>very excellent sight. Mister Harsan, You're great to have you back, sir,

0:55:08.239 --> 0:55:09.919
<v Speaker 1>good to be here. Thanks. All right, so let's let's

0:55:09.920 --> 0:55:12.920
<v Speaker 1>start with this. There seems to now just be this uh,

0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:17.239
<v Speaker 1>this push among particularly among the journos, but Democrats too,

0:55:17.320 --> 0:55:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Democrat lawmakers that the specifics don't really matter it, you know,

0:55:21.480 --> 0:55:26.160
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah, assault, rifle, assault, you know, schmifele, it's

0:55:26.480 --> 0:55:28.800
<v Speaker 1>we just need to ban the guns to stop the violence.

0:55:29.760 --> 0:55:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Is this a change in anything you think? Is this

0:55:32.280 --> 0:55:36.160
<v Speaker 1>going to move the ball for them? No, it's not

0:55:36.880 --> 0:55:39.880
<v Speaker 1>right now. I think their plan is long term. You know,

0:55:40.440 --> 0:55:43.520
<v Speaker 1>as you just saw, people can't define assault weapons. And

0:55:43.600 --> 0:55:45.880
<v Speaker 1>that's I think in a way on purpose. I mean,

0:55:45.960 --> 0:55:48.000
<v Speaker 1>you want to have this elastic word that can mean

0:55:48.040 --> 0:55:50.560
<v Speaker 1>anything you want it to mean, so it becomes something

0:55:50.600 --> 0:55:53.040
<v Speaker 1>that's just the bad thing. You know, it's an evil

0:55:53.120 --> 0:55:57.960
<v Speaker 1>thing to have an assault weapon. And what do they mean, Well, basically,

0:55:57.960 --> 0:56:01.600
<v Speaker 1>it's just about aesthetics right now, and it's an incremental

0:56:01.600 --> 0:56:04.000
<v Speaker 1>way to get to every semi automatic weapon, which is

0:56:04.000 --> 0:56:07.040
<v Speaker 1>what I think they really want to ban or at

0:56:07.120 --> 0:56:10.399
<v Speaker 1>least very very strictly restrict. You know, let's take into

0:56:10.400 --> 0:56:12.960
<v Speaker 1>one part of this because the CNN I think, initially

0:56:13.000 --> 0:56:16.520
<v Speaker 1>broke the story on this. But we're being told now

0:56:16.560 --> 0:56:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that the shooter in Odessa bought the gun he failed

0:56:21.000 --> 0:56:23.879
<v Speaker 1>a background check to buy a firearm, and then when

0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and bought the gun in a private sale. I don't know,

0:56:28.280 --> 0:56:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't I haven't seen more specifics. If you have

0:56:30.120 --> 0:56:33.080
<v Speaker 1>more specifics, by all means, let us know. But this

0:56:33.200 --> 0:56:37.320
<v Speaker 1>is quite obviously going to turn into a major data

0:56:37.360 --> 0:56:43.200
<v Speaker 1>point that is used for why we need universal background checks. Now, David,

0:56:43.320 --> 0:56:44.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people it sounds like, well, we already

0:56:44.800 --> 0:56:48.600
<v Speaker 1>have background checks, why not have universal background checks. I

0:56:48.719 --> 0:56:50.719
<v Speaker 1>posed that I have my own version, but I want

0:56:50.719 --> 0:56:54.520
<v Speaker 1>to hear the Harsani version. Well, I just want to

0:56:54.520 --> 0:56:56.319
<v Speaker 1>say I saw that story as well. There are really

0:56:56.480 --> 0:56:59.840
<v Speaker 1>very little specifics, but whatever happened there, he broke the

0:57:00.239 --> 0:57:02.279
<v Speaker 1>he's not supposed to have a weapon, and through a

0:57:02.280 --> 0:57:07.000
<v Speaker 1>private sale either. So you know, I'm opposed to universal

0:57:07.080 --> 0:57:09.040
<v Speaker 1>background checks because I think they will lead to a

0:57:09.320 --> 0:57:12.680
<v Speaker 1>data national database of people. I don't understand how else

0:57:13.560 --> 0:57:15.239
<v Speaker 1>that can be done. And I also think it will

0:57:15.280 --> 0:57:18.920
<v Speaker 1>inhibit depending on how it's done, but most of these

0:57:18.960 --> 0:57:22.080
<v Speaker 1>bills will inhibit people from being able to lend their

0:57:22.080 --> 0:57:26.600
<v Speaker 1>gun to someone, to give their gun to their relative

0:57:27.000 --> 0:57:29.280
<v Speaker 1>or a good friend if they want to, without going

0:57:29.320 --> 0:57:31.880
<v Speaker 1>through some kind of government check. And I just don't

0:57:31.920 --> 0:57:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think that comports with the Second Amendment

0:57:34.040 --> 0:57:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and the freedom of owning a firearm. I think that

0:57:37.360 --> 0:57:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the laws that we have on the books already are

0:57:39.760 --> 0:57:42.400
<v Speaker 1>enough to stop most of these shooters. You're never going

0:57:42.480 --> 0:57:44.600
<v Speaker 1>to stop all of them. And even if the case

0:57:44.640 --> 0:57:47.200
<v Speaker 1>here was that he went through a private sale, it's

0:57:47.240 --> 0:57:49.880
<v Speaker 1>an incredibly rare event. I can't think of another one

0:57:49.880 --> 0:57:52.680
<v Speaker 1>of these mass shootings, high profile mass shootings, that happen

0:57:52.800 --> 0:57:54.840
<v Speaker 1>in that way. I can think of a few right

0:57:54.880 --> 0:57:57.640
<v Speaker 1>off the bat that could have been stopped by just

0:57:57.680 --> 0:58:00.480
<v Speaker 1>follow the laws that we already have. And if this

0:58:00.720 --> 0:58:03.320
<v Speaker 1>was a private sale, and that's the way of getting around,

0:58:03.440 --> 0:58:05.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, people are gonna say, well, why why can't

0:58:05.160 --> 0:58:08.520
<v Speaker 1>we just require someone to go in and have the

0:58:08.560 --> 0:58:12.000
<v Speaker 1>background check done at a federal firearms license you know,

0:58:12.200 --> 0:58:15.240
<v Speaker 1>or a federal firearms licensee. Why not just go through

0:58:15.240 --> 0:58:18.520
<v Speaker 1>that process, you said, because essentially a registry and it's

0:58:18.520 --> 0:58:22.520
<v Speaker 1>just unconstitutional. Is there anything else? Well, I mean, you know,

0:58:22.760 --> 0:58:26.080
<v Speaker 1>it's already illegal to sell to someone who shouldn't have

0:58:26.120 --> 0:58:28.919
<v Speaker 1>a gun, a to to buy someone a gun, uh

0:58:28.960 --> 0:58:32.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, to buy the phrases escaping me. But to

0:58:32.280 --> 0:58:34.840
<v Speaker 1>buy a gun for someone who's straw purchase, yeah, straw

0:58:34.920 --> 0:58:37.080
<v Speaker 1>purchase of a gun. And uh so, I'm not sure

0:58:37.080 --> 0:58:38.960
<v Speaker 1>what this does other than stop people who are law

0:58:38.960 --> 0:58:41.919
<v Speaker 1>abiding citizens from just you know, get you know, giving

0:58:41.920 --> 0:58:43.880
<v Speaker 1>their gun to their relative or selling their gun to

0:58:43.920 --> 0:58:46.280
<v Speaker 1>someone they know. If you're selling guns all the time,

0:58:46.320 --> 0:58:47.640
<v Speaker 1>you have to have you have to have a license

0:58:47.680 --> 0:58:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to do It's that's simple. Is there what's your what's

0:58:51.040 --> 0:58:53.080
<v Speaker 1>your idea? Why why do you oppose it, why do

0:58:53.200 --> 0:58:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean? I think that they're definitely going to create

0:58:54.960 --> 0:58:57.760
<v Speaker 1>a registry. So that's I think the moment that you

0:58:57.840 --> 0:59:00.760
<v Speaker 1>have every every single gun transaction that goes across the country,

0:59:00.800 --> 0:59:02.560
<v Speaker 1>they're going to say, okay, well now we have a

0:59:02.560 --> 0:59:05.960
<v Speaker 1>record of every gun transaction that's occurring. Any but I mean,

0:59:05.960 --> 0:59:08.480
<v Speaker 1>they already do have a lot of those guns. But

0:59:08.520 --> 0:59:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I also think then you start to get into this

0:59:10.520 --> 0:59:13.160
<v Speaker 1>area of well, if I if I do give you know,

0:59:13.480 --> 0:59:15.760
<v Speaker 1>am I now breaking the law? If I give a

0:59:15.840 --> 0:59:18.400
<v Speaker 1>gun to somebody to go sporting clay shooting and I

0:59:18.440 --> 0:59:21.320
<v Speaker 1>haven't gone under a federal firearms licensee and that person

0:59:21.360 --> 0:59:23.160
<v Speaker 1>for some reason get stopped and checked by a state

0:59:23.160 --> 0:59:25.400
<v Speaker 1>trooper or whatever, Am I going to prison now for that?

0:59:25.440 --> 0:59:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I want to know. You see, that's exactly

0:59:27.800 --> 0:59:29.440
<v Speaker 1>what they want. They want to make it harder. It's

0:59:29.440 --> 0:59:32.200
<v Speaker 1>like a Maryland near d See where I live, getting

0:59:32.200 --> 0:59:34.320
<v Speaker 1>a gun is incredibly difficult. That's what they want to do.

0:59:34.320 --> 0:59:36.200
<v Speaker 1>They just want to make it more and more difficult.

0:59:36.200 --> 0:59:38.480
<v Speaker 1>When we all know is this shooter and every other

0:59:38.480 --> 0:59:40.919
<v Speaker 1>shooter does they ignore those laws any win do whatever

0:59:40.960 --> 0:59:43.919
<v Speaker 1>they like? It is is anything gonna you know, Yeah,

0:59:44.040 --> 0:59:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like part of my frustration year is that

0:59:46.200 --> 0:59:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I come on radio and it's it's the same Liberals

0:59:49.240 --> 0:59:51.840
<v Speaker 1>make the same arguments about this after every mass shooting.

0:59:52.120 --> 0:59:55.400
<v Speaker 1>There's never you know, they usually completely ignore, Well, what

0:59:55.480 --> 0:59:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you want to do wouldn't have even stopped the shooting

0:59:57.560 --> 1:00:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about. It's a very small percentage mass shootings

1:00:01.040 --> 1:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>overall of gun violence in the country, which is over

1:00:04.200 --> 1:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>from handguns and crime related, especially drug and gang related.

1:00:08.040 --> 1:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>But why they just think they're going to beat us

1:00:11.360 --> 1:00:13.400
<v Speaker 1>into submission with the repetition? Is that the plan? What

1:00:13.440 --> 1:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>do you think the plan is? Well, I think that

1:00:15.280 --> 1:00:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that a r fifteens because that you're used often by

1:00:18.120 --> 1:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>these derained psychopaths is an easy way to scare monger

1:00:21.560 --> 1:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>people about guns. The truth of the matter is, like

1:00:23.400 --> 1:00:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you just mentioned, uh, all all rifles are I think

1:00:27.560 --> 1:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>account for a very small percent you know, I don't

1:00:29.480 --> 1:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>know the exacting seven hundred of all the gun homicides

1:00:32.960 --> 1:00:35.560
<v Speaker 1>last year or something like that, and within that that's

1:00:35.600 --> 1:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>not even a fifteens. You know, that's just rifles in general,

1:00:38.960 --> 1:00:41.160
<v Speaker 1>more people are kicked to death, more people are punched

1:00:41.160 --> 1:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to death, more people are killed with blunt objects and knives.

1:00:44.840 --> 1:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>But it's an easy way to scare people because of

1:00:46.880 --> 1:00:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the aesthetics of the gun and then of the horrible

1:00:50.040 --> 1:00:53.160
<v Speaker 1>things that they're used for. But in the end, as

1:00:53.800 --> 1:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>far as gun violence goes, it won't do much. My

1:00:55.920 --> 1:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>my theory is, and I don't think this is you know,

1:00:58.440 --> 1:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>some some huge This not surprised you. I just think

1:01:01.240 --> 1:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>this is incrementalism. They blatch onto whatever they can, whatever

1:01:04.280 --> 1:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>they think is popular. You see the poll numbers on

1:01:06.480 --> 1:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>this stuff, and that's what they want to do. Buybacks,

1:01:10.280 --> 1:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>assault weapon bands and universal back and buybacks aren't really

1:01:14.160 --> 1:01:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a very gentle way of saying, you're

1:01:16.400 --> 1:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>going to give us your gun or you're going to prison.

1:01:18.880 --> 1:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>That's all. Yeah, it's called a lie. It's not a

1:01:21.040 --> 1:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>buy back because you never owned it in the first place.

1:01:23.240 --> 1:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>It's it's confiscation. First, gun confiscation plans since as I

1:01:27.280 --> 1:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>wrote in a comm today, since Lexington van Concord, so never, never,

1:01:31.920 --> 1:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>not in the thirties or any other times, the government

1:01:34.200 --> 1:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>to pass the law that meant confiscating the guns of

1:01:37.160 --> 1:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>law abiding citizens, making millions of people into criminals instantaneous.

1:01:40.880 --> 1:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean Connecticut, Connecticut I think I saw an assessment

1:01:43.640 --> 1:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>years ago, and they banned a lot of semi automatic

1:01:45.800 --> 1:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>rifles at the state level. They expect that there are

1:01:48.400 --> 1:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of thousands of people a couple of hundred thousand

1:01:50.720 --> 1:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I think was the number, two hundred or maybe hundred

1:01:52.360 --> 1:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and fifty thousand that just didn't comply. So technically those

1:01:55.160 --> 1:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>people are all now in the state of Connecticut felons.

1:01:57.720 --> 1:01:59.919
<v Speaker 1>But they don't go door to door question that's soft

1:02:00.000 --> 1:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>and elsewhere, you know, assault weapons of people don't come

1:02:02.360 --> 1:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and hand them in. I mean you're gonna have to

1:02:04.240 --> 1:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>go get them at some point. Yeah. Absolutely, first freedom

1:02:07.520 --> 1:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>arrived through America's and during history with the gun. David

1:02:11.000 --> 1:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Harsani is the author. Checkout his columns The Federalists. David

1:02:13.760 --> 1:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>always appreciate you making time for us, sir, anytime. Thanks

1:02:16.480 --> 1:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>for having me. See, we'll be right back art. We

1:02:18.440 --> 1:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>haven't talked more tonight about how we're going to beat

1:02:20.760 --> 1:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Donald's Trump. I have an idea about Donald Trump. Donald

1:02:24.360 --> 1:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Trump is not going to be beaten just by insider

1:02:26.760 --> 1:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>politics talk. He's not going to be beaten just by

1:02:29.560 --> 1:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>somebody who has plans. He's going to be beaten by

1:02:32.480 --> 1:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>somebody who has an idea what this man has done.

1:02:35.200 --> 1:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>This man has reached into the psyche of the American

1:02:37.680 --> 1:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>people and he has harnessed fear for political purposes. So,

1:02:41.400 --> 1:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>mister President, if you're listening, I want you to hear me. Please.

1:02:45.480 --> 1:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>You have harnessed fear for political purposes, and only love

1:02:48.320 --> 1:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>can cast that out. So I, sir, I have a

1:02:51.360 --> 1:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>feeling you know what you're doing. I'm going to harness

1:02:54.040 --> 1:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>love for political purposes. I will meet you on that field.

1:02:57.720 --> 1:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>And sir, all right, So you remember that that was

1:03:00.360 --> 1:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Mary Williamson's big moment, and I have a I wouldn't

1:03:04.280 --> 1:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>quite say a soft spot, but I have a familiarity

1:03:06.440 --> 1:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>with miss Williamson because she was on the episode of

1:03:09.920 --> 1:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Bill Marshaw with me. But we will recall that she

1:03:14.200 --> 1:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>had that moment and then she talked about the dark

1:03:16.880 --> 1:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>psychic force the Donald Trump has harnessed to do bad

1:03:22.360 --> 1:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>things to America. Here's the thing about Mary and Williamson.

1:03:26.280 --> 1:03:33.640
<v Speaker 1>She has unexpectedly stumbled upon a very important underlying truth

1:03:34.520 --> 1:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>about the Left that she, before running for president, was

1:03:38.360 --> 1:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>apparently not familiar with, and that is that the left

1:03:42.720 --> 1:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>is really mean and that they will lie about you,

1:03:46.280 --> 1:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>that they will lie, and they're very mean. I thought

1:03:50.160 --> 1:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>this was particularly interesting. This was from a New york

1:03:54.240 --> 1:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>An interview in The New Yorker with David Remnick. He said, quote,

1:03:58.000 --> 1:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I know this sounds naive. I didn't think the left

1:04:01.120 --> 1:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>was so mean. I didn't think the left lide like this.

1:04:05.840 --> 1:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I thought the right did that. I thought we were better.

1:04:10.560 --> 1:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>There's a there's a real insight here, folks. I know

1:04:13.400 --> 1:04:19.160
<v Speaker 1>so many liberals who really do think, really do believe

1:04:20.680 --> 1:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>that their side is where as for all the nice people.

1:04:25.120 --> 1:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>It's not even that their side is right, that their

1:04:27.160 --> 1:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>side is smarter, they believe that too, but that the

1:04:30.200 --> 1:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>nice people are on their side. I mean, I can

1:04:31.920 --> 1:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>just tell you, and I'm I'm giving this to you

1:04:35.240 --> 1:04:39.959
<v Speaker 1>as objectively as I possibly can. You know, look the left,

1:04:40.000 --> 1:04:41.440
<v Speaker 1>for example, I mean I can tell you this and

1:04:41.480 --> 1:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>some of you who are going to get annoyed at

1:04:42.760 --> 1:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>me for saying it, but you know, the left is

1:04:44.920 --> 1:04:48.160
<v Speaker 1>probably because they control the platforms and have take far

1:04:48.240 --> 1:04:50.480
<v Speaker 1>more at bats than we do. But they're better at

1:04:50.520 --> 1:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>creative than we are. Meaning you know, they dominate Hollywood,

1:04:54.120 --> 1:04:56.040
<v Speaker 1>they dominate TV shows, they do all this stuff, and

1:04:56.040 --> 1:04:58.040
<v Speaker 1>they have just more people in the game. Do I

1:04:58.080 --> 1:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>think conservatives could could make better shows that of course,

1:05:02.840 --> 1:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>But if we're just gonna look at the scoreboard, they're

1:05:05.640 --> 1:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>dominating us in those areas. And if it comes to

1:05:08.680 --> 1:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>if it comes down to making entertaining, uh, you know,

1:05:12.680 --> 1:05:17.720
<v Speaker 1>fictional content, the left, generally speaking, manages to just do

1:05:17.760 --> 1:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>a do a good job on the creative. And you

1:05:21.040 --> 1:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>can argue with me about whether that's entirely because they

1:05:23.800 --> 1:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>control the platforms and or if it's just a function

1:05:27.040 --> 1:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>of that's the way their minds think. And they're more

1:05:29.400 --> 1:05:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're more willing to do the sex, drugs

1:05:31.040 --> 1:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and rock and roll thing than conservatives are. I think

1:05:32.960 --> 1:05:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that's one way to you know, with the left running things,

1:05:35.680 --> 1:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you get a lot of you know, a lot of

1:05:38.000 --> 1:05:40.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of booze, boobs and violence, you know, when

1:05:40.640 --> 1:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>it comes to the creative. So if you like that

1:05:42.320 --> 1:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>or not, I leave that to you. But if you're

1:05:46.720 --> 1:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about what goes on on the right, our people

1:05:52.720 --> 1:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>are nicer, nicer than their people are. In the media,

1:05:58.680 --> 1:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking. I'm not overall, I can't I can't say.

1:06:01.000 --> 1:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean in the media, though, conservatives that I come

1:06:04.000 --> 1:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>across in news media are by a factor, I'd say

1:06:09.320 --> 1:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>of three to one. You know, there are three nice

1:06:11.600 --> 1:06:14.280
<v Speaker 1>conservatives for every nice liberal I come across. Maybe it's

1:06:14.320 --> 1:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>more like five to one. They are really really nasty

1:06:18.360 --> 1:06:25.280
<v Speaker 1>people on the left, really nasty that and you see

1:06:25.320 --> 1:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>this in some of these organization. I mean you see

1:06:27.000 --> 1:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>this with Media Matters a as scummy an outfit as

1:06:31.120 --> 1:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>exists in the media landscape. Gawker, very left wing, disgusting,

1:06:35.760 --> 1:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>fortunately now defunct, but a horrible organization, ruined people, destroyed reputations,

1:06:40.800 --> 1:06:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and took real glee in it. The young Turks with

1:06:43.520 --> 1:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>that psychopath who had the total meltdown about Dan Crenshaw.

1:06:47.440 --> 1:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Guy's horrible. Is an unethical, stupid, bad person. There's a

1:06:53.680 --> 1:06:56.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of that, unfortunately in left wing media. Now I'm

1:06:56.480 --> 1:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>not saying it doesn't exist in the right, but for

1:06:59.240 --> 1:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason, it is elevated on the left. I mean,

1:07:01.960 --> 1:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you have these people. You know, Keith Olberman here's a

1:07:04.040 --> 1:07:09.520
<v Speaker 1>perfect example, was universally known as a mean person, as

1:07:09.560 --> 1:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a bad guy. Uh, you know, I mean there are

1:07:14.080 --> 1:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>others that I could I could talk about as well.

1:07:16.800 --> 1:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, Jake Tapper, universally by those at least who've

1:07:20.200 --> 1:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>ever dealt with him, knows is one of the most

1:07:22.760 --> 1:07:27.840
<v Speaker 1>thin skinned human beings you will ever come across. And yet,

1:07:27.880 --> 1:07:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're all supposed to be like, oh, well,

1:07:29.240 --> 1:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, because he plays a news anchor on TV,

1:07:31.520 --> 1:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>We're all supposed to think that he's got gravitas. Mary

1:07:34.600 --> 1:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Anne Williamson has found out the hard way that the

1:07:37.240 --> 1:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>left is really mean. They're just mean, you know, they're

1:07:44.480 --> 1:07:47.440
<v Speaker 1>coming after her, and she's she says that they falsely

1:07:47.440 --> 1:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>accused her of having told AIDS patients not to take

1:07:50.080 --> 1:07:53.320
<v Speaker 1>their medicines. She's they say that she they false He's

1:07:53.400 --> 1:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>told her that lovelessness causes disease and that love is

1:07:56.840 --> 1:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>enough to cure their diseases. You know. They say that

1:08:00.240 --> 1:08:03.200
<v Speaker 1>that she has been smeared by her own side in

1:08:03.240 --> 1:08:05.840
<v Speaker 1>a way that shows a real vicious is now no

1:08:05.840 --> 1:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>a lotty like Buck the crazy Crystal Lady? What do

1:08:07.760 --> 1:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>we care? I'm just saying I think that her awakening

1:08:11.640 --> 1:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>to our own side is something that we need to

1:08:14.840 --> 1:08:17.439
<v Speaker 1>encourage more. We need to encourage more of this to happen,

1:08:17.520 --> 1:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>because Libs are really mean. There's a nat because of

1:08:23.320 --> 1:08:26.439
<v Speaker 1>the self righteousness and the emotionalism and the sense that

1:08:26.760 --> 1:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>this isn't a difference in politics, is a difference between

1:08:29.200 --> 1:08:32.719
<v Speaker 1>the good people and the bad people. They have no problem,

1:08:32.720 --> 1:08:37.080
<v Speaker 1>they have no compunction watching the other side get destroyed.

1:08:37.200 --> 1:08:40.599
<v Speaker 1>And then that reminds me of this guy, Ben Penn

1:08:42.240 --> 1:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>and the story that he wrote about Laife Olsen got

1:08:46.320 --> 1:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>him fired from the Department of Labor. And now it

1:08:50.360 --> 1:08:56.599
<v Speaker 1>to any person with basic reading comprehension skills, Laife Olsen

1:08:56.720 --> 1:08:59.080
<v Speaker 1>did nothing wrong. It was a joke. He did not

1:08:59.120 --> 1:09:01.760
<v Speaker 1>cross any line. He is not an anti Semite. He

1:09:01.840 --> 1:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>was not being anti Semitic. And this guy lost his job.

1:09:05.120 --> 1:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, the Department of Labor is even

1:09:08.320 --> 1:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>now said, as far as I understand it, that they

1:09:10.160 --> 1:09:12.599
<v Speaker 1>agree that you know, he didn't actually cross any lines

1:09:13.360 --> 1:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to do anything wrong. Bloomberg is standing behind the report.

1:09:18.240 --> 1:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Better to be a party to a false better to

1:09:21.960 --> 1:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>be wrong than to have to admit that they ran

1:09:27.200 --> 1:09:30.439
<v Speaker 1>a hit piece that was fake news and deal with

1:09:30.479 --> 1:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>a blow or the organization's credibility that would come from that.

1:09:33.160 --> 1:09:35.439
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it's a It's a terrible thing to do.

1:09:35.520 --> 1:09:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I would I would not sleep at night if I

1:09:39.120 --> 1:09:42.400
<v Speaker 1>had gotten somebody fired from their job in the government

1:09:43.360 --> 1:09:45.559
<v Speaker 1>just because I felt like getting some clicks for a

1:09:45.600 --> 1:09:48.200
<v Speaker 1>website and I and I lied about a person and

1:09:48.320 --> 1:09:50.559
<v Speaker 1>ruin their reputation to do it. I would not I

1:09:50.560 --> 1:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>would not be able to handle that. Left is fine

1:09:53.280 --> 1:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>with it. Ben Ben hasn't apologized. Bloomberg hasn't apologized. Look

1:09:58.080 --> 1:10:01.160
<v Speaker 1>at the way that you know they talk about it.

1:10:01.320 --> 1:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>In the gun debate. We say things like, oh, they

1:10:04.320 --> 1:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>don't understand, you know, they don't understand what they're talking about.

1:10:06.880 --> 1:10:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Their ideas are wrong, their ideas are bad. What do

1:10:09.560 --> 1:10:12.559
<v Speaker 1>they say to us, Oh, you don't care about dead children,

1:10:13.080 --> 1:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you don't care about stopping mass shootings and the horrible

1:10:16.360 --> 1:10:19.559
<v Speaker 1>violence from it. Can they really believe that about their

1:10:19.560 --> 1:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>fellow Americans? I think, unfortunately the answer is yes. I

1:10:23.360 --> 1:10:27.880
<v Speaker 1>think unfortunately there is so much There has been so

1:10:27.960 --> 1:10:30.960
<v Speaker 1>much viciousness on the left for so long that they

1:10:31.280 --> 1:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>can't even see it for what it is. They can't

1:10:34.360 --> 1:10:38.400
<v Speaker 1>even tell and it has been incubated on the left,

1:10:38.479 --> 1:10:41.519
<v Speaker 1>so now we're dealing with the consequence of it. But yeah,

1:10:41.680 --> 1:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>do you mean to marry Anne the crystal lady who

1:10:43.960 --> 1:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>says that she doesn't even ever use crystals? So that's

1:10:45.800 --> 1:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>an unfair sme but comes from the left, folks. They're

1:10:48.960 --> 1:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>very mean. Aftermath of these hearings, I believe that Christine's

1:10:52.600 --> 1:10:56.840
<v Speaker 1>testimony brought about more good than the horror misogynist Republicans

1:10:56.920 --> 1:10:59.559
<v Speaker 1>caused by allowing Cabinet on the court. We were going

1:10:59.600 --> 1:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to have a conservative Elections have consequences. But he will

1:11:03.960 --> 1:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>always have an asterisk next to his name when he

1:11:06.760 --> 1:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>takes a scalpel to Robi Wade. We will know who

1:11:09.080 --> 1:11:11.960
<v Speaker 1>he is. We know his character, and we know what

1:11:12.120 --> 1:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>motivates him, and that is important. It is important that

1:11:15.760 --> 1:11:18.719
<v Speaker 1>we know, and that was part of what motivated Christine.

1:11:21.160 --> 1:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>That is Christine Blasi Ford's lawyer, Deborah Katz telling you

1:11:29.360 --> 1:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>what we have known all along. That is the motivation.

1:11:34.360 --> 1:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Now she said motivated in part, I would say motivated

1:11:38.680 --> 1:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>almost entirely by And the only part of that that

1:11:43.000 --> 1:11:45.479
<v Speaker 1>you could add into the mix would be that she

1:11:45.600 --> 1:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>was motivated almost entirely by politics. But then also the

1:11:50.240 --> 1:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>desire to be viewed among her fellow supporters of the

1:11:57.479 --> 1:12:00.960
<v Speaker 1>hideous regime of abortion in this country, to be seen

1:12:01.000 --> 1:12:03.959
<v Speaker 1>as a hero, to be on the cover of magazines

1:12:04.000 --> 1:12:07.559
<v Speaker 1>which she was put on. I mean, that's what ended

1:12:07.640 --> 1:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>up happening, and this is This is a frustration because

1:12:12.880 --> 1:12:16.240
<v Speaker 1>yet again it reminds me of the Clinton Foundation situation,

1:12:16.320 --> 1:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>where I would go on CNN and say, we all

1:12:20.800 --> 1:12:25.920
<v Speaker 1>understand that the Clinton Foundation is really a front for

1:12:26.040 --> 1:12:31.080
<v Speaker 1>laundering money to the Clintons to buy access and contact

1:12:31.160 --> 1:12:33.600
<v Speaker 1>with them, right, that this isn't really about charity, that

1:12:33.640 --> 1:12:37.639
<v Speaker 1>the Clintons don't give a crap about charity. We all

1:12:37.680 --> 1:12:40.080
<v Speaker 1>know that, right, and it's CNN. They they'd all pretend

1:12:40.120 --> 1:12:43.439
<v Speaker 1>to be very, very stupid when I would have this

1:12:43.479 --> 1:12:46.160
<v Speaker 1>conversation with some of their anchors, and and punnits on

1:12:46.160 --> 1:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>another said, oh, what do you mean the Clintons. They're

1:12:48.160 --> 1:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>just doing good charity work, That's what There's no there's

1:12:51.040 --> 1:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>no other motive. And I said, okay, Well, the real

1:12:53.240 --> 1:12:57.599
<v Speaker 1>test of this will be once it's clear that Hillary

1:12:57.640 --> 1:13:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Clinton's not going to be president the United States, the

1:13:00.240 --> 1:13:03.320
<v Speaker 1>donations dry up, because if it's about charity, then it

1:13:03.360 --> 1:13:06.160
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't matter at all. And as we saw, not only

1:13:06.520 --> 1:13:09.200
<v Speaker 1>did the donations the Clinton Foundation dry up, they fell

1:13:09.200 --> 1:13:11.840
<v Speaker 1>off a cliff and they had just shut down whole

1:13:11.880 --> 1:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>sectors of the Clinton When was the last time you

1:13:13.800 --> 1:13:17.599
<v Speaker 1>heard about the Clinton Foundation at all in the news well,

1:13:17.640 --> 1:13:20.160
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to cover up at some level there they

1:13:20.160 --> 1:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>don't have shame, but try to cover up the blatant

1:13:24.600 --> 1:13:26.599
<v Speaker 1>nature of the pay to play scammut they were running.

1:13:26.760 --> 1:13:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Why do I bring this up in the context of

1:13:28.439 --> 1:13:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Blasi Ford. A similar circumstances took place during the whole

1:13:34.280 --> 1:13:37.800
<v Speaker 1>character assassination attempt of Brett Kavanaugh, which was still one

1:13:37.840 --> 1:13:43.040
<v Speaker 1>of the most horrific things that I have ever watched

1:13:44.080 --> 1:13:46.840
<v Speaker 1>in a political arena on TV. I think it actually,

1:13:47.040 --> 1:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>if we're talking just politics, it was the ugliest political

1:13:50.439 --> 1:13:55.720
<v Speaker 1>thing I've ever seen on TV. Was the ritualized and

1:13:55.920 --> 1:14:01.680
<v Speaker 1>sadistic psychological torture that and all was subjected to for

1:14:01.800 --> 1:14:05.000
<v Speaker 1>allegations that were clearly false to anyone who's not a

1:14:05.040 --> 1:14:10.720
<v Speaker 1>liar or a moron, allegations that had no evidence to

1:14:10.760 --> 1:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>back them up, no substance in reality whatsoever. But I

1:14:15.280 --> 1:14:17.759
<v Speaker 1>remember when that was happening, and you'll remember this too,

1:14:18.680 --> 1:14:22.160
<v Speaker 1>that you had all these journalists that would say that

1:14:22.200 --> 1:14:25.479
<v Speaker 1>this became a common talking point. Oh but but why

1:14:25.520 --> 1:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>would she lie? She has no reason to lie? And

1:14:30.360 --> 1:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>they would say this, to which many of us would

1:14:33.200 --> 1:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>point out, other than being written about in the history books,

1:14:36.960 --> 1:14:41.240
<v Speaker 1>forever as somebody who saved perhaps a women's a woman's

1:14:41.320 --> 1:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>right to choose, or as was said by Deborah Katz

1:14:44.000 --> 1:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>here at least will always have cast a cast in aspersion,

1:14:49.360 --> 1:14:52.960
<v Speaker 1>created a question mark or an asterisk or whatever they

1:14:53.000 --> 1:14:57.879
<v Speaker 1>want to say around any decision involving Judge Brett Kavanaugh,

1:14:59.000 --> 1:15:04.479
<v Speaker 1>just to create the the basis for a multigenerational smear.

1:15:05.479 --> 1:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Also knowing that the left wing dominance in media and

1:15:09.040 --> 1:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>in the academy will mean that Blasi Ford give it

1:15:12.800 --> 1:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>ten years, She's going to be the hero of the

1:15:16.280 --> 1:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>narrative for all leftists, and they're going to teach us

1:15:18.880 --> 1:15:22.320
<v Speaker 1>in schools just like you know, you always will hear

1:15:22.360 --> 1:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>that Clarence Thomas is the bad guy and Anita Hill

1:15:24.880 --> 1:15:27.360
<v Speaker 1>is a hero. You know, Anita Hill has Kerry Washington

1:15:27.439 --> 1:15:30.599
<v Speaker 1>player in the HBO movie and defending women and all

1:15:30.640 --> 1:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>this stuff, and no one even really knows who gets

1:15:34.360 --> 1:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>all excited about it now the subject matter, in any

1:15:39.200 --> 1:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>detail of those allegations. They just know Anita Hill was

1:15:42.040 --> 1:15:45.679
<v Speaker 1>the hero, the heroine, and Clarence Thomas was the bad guy,

1:15:46.439 --> 1:15:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the bad guy because he's a conservative, and they want

1:15:49.200 --> 1:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to make that the story as well. With Kavanaugh, and

1:15:51.400 --> 1:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>with blasi Ford, they will try. I would just note

1:15:54.960 --> 1:15:58.160
<v Speaker 1>that the media pretended to be completely a bunch of morons.

1:15:58.320 --> 1:16:02.200
<v Speaker 1>All the issue of why would why would blasi Ford

1:16:02.400 --> 1:16:06.479
<v Speaker 1>do this? Why would she come forward and lie, which

1:16:06.520 --> 1:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>is what she did about somebody to ruin his reputation,

1:16:10.840 --> 1:16:14.800
<v Speaker 1>to defame him in front of the whole nation. Why

1:16:14.800 --> 1:16:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I put herself through this? And it's because she got

1:16:16.800 --> 1:16:19.240
<v Speaker 1>to be the center of attention. She was considered a

1:16:19.320 --> 1:16:21.880
<v Speaker 1>hero by everybody who is on the left, everyone who

1:16:21.920 --> 1:16:25.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't like Kavanaugh, an anyone who's ever had an abortion

1:16:25.400 --> 1:16:29.280
<v Speaker 1>in the country and still believes in abortion as a

1:16:29.400 --> 1:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>sacred right of womanhood, which is a pretty terrifying notion,

1:16:35.280 --> 1:16:37.960
<v Speaker 1>but that's a very widely held one. They thought that

1:16:38.000 --> 1:16:40.639
<v Speaker 1>blasi Ford was being a hero, so it was obvious.

1:16:40.720 --> 1:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>And the point is it was obvious why she would

1:16:42.800 --> 1:16:44.400
<v Speaker 1>do this? Why would she lie? I got a lot

1:16:44.400 --> 1:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>of reasons why she'd lie, But all the journalists go,

1:16:47.200 --> 1:16:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what she'd like. She's telling the truth.

1:16:50.520 --> 1:16:52.280
<v Speaker 1>She has no reason to lie, That's what they would

1:16:52.280 --> 1:16:56.759
<v Speaker 1>always say, no reason to lie. Well, here's her lawyer

1:16:56.800 --> 1:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>giving you at least one reason. Now that the battle

1:17:00.120 --> 1:17:04.160
<v Speaker 1>is over, or at least the initial phase of it

1:17:04.240 --> 1:17:07.560
<v Speaker 1>is over, and it's to create a smear of Kavanaugh

1:17:07.560 --> 1:17:10.479
<v Speaker 1>in case he is part of overturning Roe v. Wade,

1:17:10.560 --> 1:17:13.639
<v Speaker 1>or in case there's any decision that comes down involving

1:17:13.720 --> 1:17:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Judge Brett Kavanaugh that the Left doesn't like, they'll just say, oh,

1:17:16.320 --> 1:17:21.400
<v Speaker 1>you mean Kavanaugh, the sexual assaulter. Havanall the would be rapist.

1:17:21.479 --> 1:17:25.439
<v Speaker 1>That's what they're going to do. And I just feel

1:17:25.479 --> 1:17:28.479
<v Speaker 1>that there should be so much more accountability for the

1:17:29.200 --> 1:17:35.280
<v Speaker 1>cowardly and idiotic journalists out there who, in moments where

1:17:35.439 --> 1:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>character would really matter, they feign or some of them

1:17:39.280 --> 1:17:41.080
<v Speaker 1>perhaps are just the stupid, but most of them just

1:17:41.200 --> 1:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>feigned stupidity because it is politically more convenient for them

1:17:46.040 --> 1:17:49.120
<v Speaker 1>in the moment. All of a sudden, they can't figure

1:17:49.120 --> 1:17:53.040
<v Speaker 1>out what any normal human being paying attention to any

1:17:53.439 --> 1:17:56.880
<v Speaker 1>situation like this would be able to figure out. Why

1:17:56.960 --> 1:17:59.040
<v Speaker 1>would a person come forward like this? Oh, because it's

1:17:59.040 --> 1:18:02.400
<v Speaker 1>been so hard for Anita Hill since she came forward,

1:18:03.800 --> 1:18:06.880
<v Speaker 1>She's been treated so poorly by by the press and

1:18:06.920 --> 1:18:10.880
<v Speaker 1>by the establishment. Now she's gotten very cushy jobs. HBO

1:18:10.960 --> 1:18:13.320
<v Speaker 1>show made, our HBO movie made about her where she's

1:18:13.360 --> 1:18:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the heroine, and saything's gonna have with blasi Ford, And

1:18:17.600 --> 1:18:21.400
<v Speaker 1>keep in mind that they've really just pushed away the

1:18:21.479 --> 1:18:24.040
<v Speaker 1>other two. I can't even remember. I Sweatnick was the third.

1:18:24.080 --> 1:18:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember the name of the second accuser, an

1:18:27.200 --> 1:18:31.240
<v Speaker 1>accuser who came forward despite not even being able by

1:18:31.240 --> 1:18:35.680
<v Speaker 1>her own, by her own admission, being able to remember

1:18:35.920 --> 1:18:39.640
<v Speaker 1>on her own, whether Cavana did anything to her, you know,

1:18:39.720 --> 1:18:42.519
<v Speaker 1>she came forward and made this allegation against him. And

1:18:42.520 --> 1:18:46.799
<v Speaker 1>then in the third instance, with Sweatnick, a crazy person

1:18:47.280 --> 1:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>who anyone could see, who had their eyes open and

1:18:50.080 --> 1:18:53.640
<v Speaker 1>was being honest, was just a liar. Blasi Ford was

1:18:53.680 --> 1:18:59.200
<v Speaker 1>a moderately a mildly convincing liar, meaning she was still

1:18:59.320 --> 1:19:03.120
<v Speaker 1>clearly lie. But there was there was a little she

1:19:03.200 --> 1:19:06.120
<v Speaker 1>was better coach, There was a little bit more preparation

1:19:06.240 --> 1:19:10.080
<v Speaker 1>in it. It was it sounded more plausible. Sweatnick came

1:19:10.120 --> 1:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>after Supreme Court judge, a Supreme Court justice now would

1:19:13.360 --> 1:19:15.720
<v Speaker 1>be Supreme Court justice, of course, with the help of

1:19:15.760 --> 1:19:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Michael Avanati. Who can it get scummier? I mean, the

1:19:20.120 --> 1:19:22.519
<v Speaker 1>way that that guy goes after people on Twitter, if

1:19:22.520 --> 1:19:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you haven't seen it, is hilarious. Got after some friends

1:19:25.000 --> 1:19:28.160
<v Speaker 1>of mine. They're not you know, you're not famous enough, basically,

1:19:28.240 --> 1:19:29.599
<v Speaker 1>is what he likes to say to people. I mean,

1:19:29.920 --> 1:19:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Avanadi is famous and almost the way that you know,

1:19:32.680 --> 1:19:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Weener is famous for being a disgusting creep, right,

1:19:36.120 --> 1:19:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're they're famous for being bad people. They're not.

1:19:39.320 --> 1:19:43.439
<v Speaker 1>They're not famous because everyone loves them. So you know,

1:19:43.640 --> 1:19:47.080
<v Speaker 1>that's a distinction I think worth keeping in mind. But yeah,

1:19:47.120 --> 1:19:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Christine Blasi Ford her lawyers come out and told us

1:19:50.320 --> 1:19:52.240
<v Speaker 1>what what I knew, what you knew all along. But

1:19:52.360 --> 1:19:55.439
<v Speaker 1>now now we have greater confirmation. And the people that

1:19:55.800 --> 1:19:58.240
<v Speaker 1>pretended they could not figure this out at the time,

1:19:58.800 --> 1:20:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I do think that there should be accountability. I think

1:20:01.880 --> 1:20:04.639
<v Speaker 1>we should bring them forward in the press and say,

1:20:04.640 --> 1:20:07.479
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, I'm just wondering, were you really unable to

1:20:07.479 --> 1:20:10.280
<v Speaker 1>figure out what the motivations here were. Now, of course

1:20:10.600 --> 1:20:12.760
<v Speaker 1>we know that they would lie about it, but I

1:20:12.840 --> 1:20:16.000
<v Speaker 1>would like to see them lie again. The American people,

1:20:16.040 --> 1:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, many of the worst people you come across,

1:20:18.120 --> 1:20:20.479
<v Speaker 1>and any prominent public role, our journalists, and this is

1:20:20.479 --> 1:20:23.439
<v Speaker 1>just another another example of that. Over the last i'd

1:20:23.520 --> 1:20:28.120
<v Speaker 1>say fifteen twenty years we've seen this increasing what many

1:20:28.160 --> 1:20:31.920
<v Speaker 1>people call tribalism, and basically you can sum that up

1:20:31.960 --> 1:20:36.040
<v Speaker 1>with contempt for other people's views and saying I disagree

1:20:36.120 --> 1:20:38.280
<v Speaker 1>with you, and by the way, you're wrong about everything.

1:20:38.920 --> 1:20:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I think. In the past, we had elections, and yeah,

1:20:41.040 --> 1:20:44.160
<v Speaker 1>they're pretty, they're pretty raucous, and they're pretty rough and tumble,

1:20:44.200 --> 1:20:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes they're not civil. But welcome to democracy. But

1:20:47.479 --> 1:20:49.200
<v Speaker 1>in the old days, the old days of being in

1:20:49.240 --> 1:20:52.639
<v Speaker 1>why I didn't have this color hair. In the old days,

1:20:52.920 --> 1:20:56.000
<v Speaker 1>when the election was over, we buried the hatchet, we

1:20:56.040 --> 1:20:58.679
<v Speaker 1>got down to governing. It's like today all we stay

1:20:58.720 --> 1:21:02.240
<v Speaker 1>in is locked in this election cycle and we're constantly

1:21:02.240 --> 1:21:05.880
<v Speaker 1>finding reasons not to cooperate. And no democraphy can survive

1:21:06.040 --> 1:21:09.960
<v Speaker 1>that sort of a style. It does won't work. General

1:21:10.000 --> 1:21:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Maddis there speaking of christiano'man pool who has the fanciest

1:21:15.640 --> 1:21:19.280
<v Speaker 1>accents of any human being ever on the history of

1:21:19.320 --> 1:21:25.599
<v Speaker 1>the world. It's really her calling card. I don't think

1:21:25.600 --> 1:21:30.799
<v Speaker 1>that Maddis is political analysis here is especially as stute

1:21:30.920 --> 1:21:33.519
<v Speaker 1>and I know I've been. I wouldn't even say I'm

1:21:33.560 --> 1:21:37.120
<v Speaker 1>critical of General Maddis. I'm just I just have questions

1:21:37.600 --> 1:21:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I've been asking those questions. I don't want to naked

1:21:41.400 --> 1:21:47.439
<v Speaker 1>seem like I'm bashing Maddis by any stretch. He's clearly,

1:21:47.840 --> 1:21:50.559
<v Speaker 1>very very well respected throughout the military. I should when

1:21:50.560 --> 1:21:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I say clearly, it's really what the journalists who cover

1:21:54.000 --> 1:21:56.599
<v Speaker 1>the Pentagon, and you know that we go by what

1:21:56.640 --> 1:21:58.040
<v Speaker 1>they say. I mean, I don't know. I haven't really

1:21:58.040 --> 1:22:01.040
<v Speaker 1>spoken to that many rank and file soldiers about what

1:22:01.160 --> 1:22:03.280
<v Speaker 1>they think of Maddis. They might say is fantastic, they

1:22:03.360 --> 1:22:06.479
<v Speaker 1>might say that, you know, I can tell you a

1:22:06.479 --> 1:22:09.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of people thought that General Petreus was kind of

1:22:09.680 --> 1:22:13.040
<v Speaker 1>a jerk. So we were always told, oh, he's a genius,

1:22:13.080 --> 1:22:16.280
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna save well. I mean, he got things right

1:22:16.280 --> 1:22:18.960
<v Speaker 1>in Iraq when he was in command, didn't exactly get

1:22:19.000 --> 1:22:21.559
<v Speaker 1>things right in Afghanistan, But that never really gets talked about.

1:22:22.760 --> 1:22:25.479
<v Speaker 1>General General Madister though, saying that we used to get

1:22:25.520 --> 1:22:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to the business of governing. Really, I think you could

1:22:31.240 --> 1:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>argue that that has been in recent memory, that has

1:22:35.880 --> 1:22:38.000
<v Speaker 1>been the exception more than there. It certainly wasn't the

1:22:38.000 --> 1:22:43.120
<v Speaker 1>case under the Bush administration, where I have not forgotten

1:22:43.880 --> 1:22:48.400
<v Speaker 1>that there were efforts, real efforts to try to get

1:22:48.880 --> 1:22:52.800
<v Speaker 1>criminal charges brought against someone like Dick Cheney where there

1:22:53.320 --> 1:22:57.040
<v Speaker 1>was a special counsel about a non event leak of

1:22:57.080 --> 1:23:00.519
<v Speaker 1>a non event person's name, and then that led to

1:23:00.560 --> 1:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the charges against Scooter Libby. There were it was. It

1:23:05.960 --> 1:23:09.360
<v Speaker 1>was complete political trench warfare in the Bush years, and

1:23:09.400 --> 1:23:13.919
<v Speaker 1>that was when we were under attack by radical Islam

1:23:14.040 --> 1:23:18.479
<v Speaker 1>and the global Jihad. We were united for about six

1:23:18.520 --> 1:23:21.000
<v Speaker 1>months after nine eleven as a country, and then it

1:23:21.120 --> 1:23:25.240
<v Speaker 1>very quickly turned into anything to destroy Bush. Bush is Hitler.

1:23:25.479 --> 1:23:29.519
<v Speaker 1>I was in college and there were leftists on my

1:23:29.600 --> 1:23:33.120
<v Speaker 1>campus and in the area of Amburst College who were

1:23:33.160 --> 1:23:38.240
<v Speaker 1>making the case that they thought that Bush was basically

1:23:38.280 --> 1:23:42.799
<v Speaker 1>a fascist along the lines of along the lines of Hitler,

1:23:43.400 --> 1:23:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, that Bush. Bush had fascistic tennant just like

1:23:46.200 --> 1:23:48.320
<v Speaker 1>you know. And they would say that Cheney was really

1:23:48.400 --> 1:23:51.759
<v Speaker 1>running the country and that Haliburton was going to around

1:23:51.840 --> 1:23:53.559
<v Speaker 1>us all up any day now. I mean, it's saying

1:23:53.600 --> 1:23:57.040
<v Speaker 1>crazy stuff. So it was maddest not really around for that.

1:23:58.560 --> 1:24:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Its maddest not a part of that situation. I would

1:24:01.960 --> 1:24:05.400
<v Speaker 1>have to wonder during the Clinton years when there was

1:24:05.479 --> 1:24:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a very acrimonious impeachment fight, you know, when when were

1:24:10.240 --> 1:24:13.800
<v Speaker 1>we getting down to the business of governing. I look,

1:24:13.840 --> 1:24:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you. I saw my friend Ben Dominic

1:24:16.200 --> 1:24:18.800
<v Speaker 1>tweeted this out today and he's read Mattis his book.

1:24:18.840 --> 1:24:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I haven't yet. I just told you what others tend

1:24:22.200 --> 1:24:24.240
<v Speaker 1>not to say, which is that these books are a

1:24:24.320 --> 1:24:28.719
<v Speaker 1>waste of time, They're boring, They're often either money grabs

1:24:28.920 --> 1:24:34.879
<v Speaker 1>or just self aggrandizing, pedestal creation for the former government officials.

1:24:34.920 --> 1:24:37.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, there was a time when the expectation was

1:24:38.200 --> 1:24:40.519
<v Speaker 1>you served in the government and you just went into

1:24:40.520 --> 1:24:43.720
<v Speaker 1>private life afterwards. And that was that he didn't need

1:24:43.760 --> 1:24:49.680
<v Speaker 1>to create a post governmental cult around oneself. And there

1:24:49.720 --> 1:24:54.240
<v Speaker 1>was a time when that was the norm. And I

1:24:54.280 --> 1:24:56.400
<v Speaker 1>really mean that, right, we have seen and you can

1:24:56.439 --> 1:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>measure this. Unlike Mattis saying that politics used to be

1:24:59.800 --> 1:25:01.800
<v Speaker 1>much more civil, I don't. I'm not even talking about

1:25:01.800 --> 1:25:04.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, civil like meaning the Civil War, when we

1:25:04.560 --> 1:25:09.360
<v Speaker 1>were literally killing our fellow Americans over at political political differences,

1:25:09.439 --> 1:25:12.360
<v Speaker 1>so to the doing of hundreds of thousands of US

1:25:14.520 --> 1:25:16.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. I don't think his politics very stute.

1:25:16.800 --> 1:25:19.479
<v Speaker 1>I think that the analysis, I should say, is very stute.

1:25:19.520 --> 1:25:22.760
<v Speaker 1>And then Ben Dominic was saying that the maddest book

1:25:22.840 --> 1:25:26.800
<v Speaker 1>is just boring, which doesn't surprise doesn't surprise me at all,

1:25:26.920 --> 1:25:29.639
<v Speaker 1>and given that I already know that without reading it.

1:25:30.880 --> 1:25:32.639
<v Speaker 1>And also, you know how much work it would really

1:25:32.680 --> 1:25:34.559
<v Speaker 1>is somebody who's in the process of writing a draft

1:25:34.600 --> 1:25:36.680
<v Speaker 1>of a book right now, how much work, how much

1:25:36.760 --> 1:25:41.880
<v Speaker 1>time it really takes. These individuals who have been used

1:25:41.920 --> 1:25:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to having staffs do a lot of work for them

1:25:44.000 --> 1:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and people writing speeches for them and doing all these things,

1:25:46.840 --> 1:25:48.960
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna They're gonna sit at a computer at a

1:25:49.080 --> 1:25:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, a typewriter. That's really kicking at

1:25:51.000 --> 1:25:54.040
<v Speaker 1>old school Rusa Mark. Have you ever even used the typewriter?

1:25:54.080 --> 1:25:57.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've never even touched a key on a typewriter,

1:25:57.320 --> 1:26:00.840
<v Speaker 1>only keyboards. I haven't used one, but I've seen one

1:26:00.840 --> 1:26:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and like touched the ya. I mean it's not a

1:26:02.920 --> 1:26:05.559
<v Speaker 1>dinosaur like of course you've probably seen one, but I mean,

1:26:05.560 --> 1:26:09.040
<v Speaker 1>you've ever actually tried to type with one? No? Yeah,

1:26:09.080 --> 1:26:11.599
<v Speaker 1>I had computer class in elementary school. Yeah, I did too,

1:26:11.640 --> 1:26:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I remember, and I remember thinking that this, you I

1:26:13.840 --> 1:26:16.920
<v Speaker 1>was really smart and forward leaning in elementary school in

1:26:16.960 --> 1:26:19.960
<v Speaker 1>that I was like, writing things out by hand is

1:26:20.000 --> 1:26:23.720
<v Speaker 1>obviously way smarter and better. So this computer thing is ridiculous.

1:26:23.720 --> 1:26:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Turns out that we were all gonna have to worry

1:26:25.840 --> 1:26:27.880
<v Speaker 1>about carpal tunnel syndrome for the rest of our adult

1:26:27.880 --> 1:26:31.559
<v Speaker 1>lives pretty soon. So so Mattis' book is pretty boring.

1:26:31.920 --> 1:26:35.320
<v Speaker 1>But when he says that based on Ben Dominant's assessment,

1:26:35.320 --> 1:26:37.120
<v Speaker 1>which I trust, I haven't read it yet myself, but

1:26:37.160 --> 1:26:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I kind of know it. It was like when you

1:26:38.720 --> 1:26:42.240
<v Speaker 1>see a movie trailer, you know, you know if it's

1:26:42.240 --> 1:26:45.360
<v Speaker 1>good or not. Yea, not really, you know, yeah, technically

1:26:45.360 --> 1:26:49.479
<v Speaker 1>you should see the movie, but yeah, you know, usually

1:26:49.520 --> 1:26:53.639
<v Speaker 1>knows being in which the right I love this. On

1:26:53.720 --> 1:26:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Rotten Tomatoes, I told you all to go and see

1:26:56.920 --> 1:27:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Dave Chappelle's comedy special. I told you to go check

1:27:02.120 --> 1:27:04.599
<v Speaker 1>it out. And just to give you a sense of

1:27:05.720 --> 1:27:09.120
<v Speaker 1>what the score ratings were earlier today on Rotten Tomatoes,

1:27:10.240 --> 1:27:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Sticks and Stones on Rotten Tomatoes has a Tomatometer score

1:27:18.840 --> 1:27:25.200
<v Speaker 1>based on critics reviews of twenty nine percent positive. So

1:27:25.680 --> 1:27:30.360
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's a very low critics score. Who wants

1:27:30.400 --> 1:27:34.160
<v Speaker 1>to guess, christer mark, what percentage of the three thousand,

1:27:34.240 --> 1:27:36.880
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred and fifty three people who rated on Rotten

1:27:36.920 --> 1:27:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Tomatoes liked Sticks and Stones the Dave Chappelle comedy specially.

1:27:41.320 --> 1:27:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I told you about what's the percentage? Eighty two ninety nine. Wow. Yeah.

1:27:48.880 --> 1:27:52.599
<v Speaker 1>So everybody who saw this thing who was a viewer

1:27:53.040 --> 1:27:58.520
<v Speaker 1>thought it was hilarious, and seven out of ten critics

1:27:58.680 --> 1:28:02.640
<v Speaker 1>who reviewed it and review things officially for their livelihoods

1:28:03.439 --> 1:28:08.280
<v Speaker 1>thought it was bad. This is a microcosm of what

1:28:08.800 --> 1:28:12.879
<v Speaker 1>woke culture does to you being woke, being a social

1:28:12.920 --> 1:28:16.439
<v Speaker 1>justice warrior, you are not allowed to find funny things

1:28:16.439 --> 1:28:19.880
<v Speaker 1>funny anymore. You're not allowed to laugh at anything other

1:28:19.960 --> 1:28:25.600
<v Speaker 1>than white Christian males and mockery of them. You know

1:28:25.680 --> 1:28:29.320
<v Speaker 1>that that's it. Anything. If you mock anybody else, you

1:28:29.360 --> 1:28:31.880
<v Speaker 1>can't make jokes. You can't make jokes about women, you

1:28:31.920 --> 1:28:35.719
<v Speaker 1>can't make jokes about any particular ethnic group, anything else.

1:28:36.520 --> 1:28:39.280
<v Speaker 1>You are going to get slammed by the social justice left.

1:28:39.320 --> 1:28:41.200
<v Speaker 1>We know that the good news is that people like

1:28:41.280 --> 1:28:44.320
<v Speaker 1>what they like, and I'm happy to see that the

1:28:44.360 --> 1:28:48.320
<v Speaker 1>public at large, left, right and everything, everything altogether, everyone

1:28:48.360 --> 1:28:52.160
<v Speaker 1>thinks that Sticks and Stones by Dave Chappelle is hilarious.

1:28:52.600 --> 1:28:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Because it is hilarious. We can't let this go on.

1:28:54.960 --> 1:28:57.400
<v Speaker 1>They would take it out five hundred billion dollars a

1:28:57.479 --> 1:29:01.599
<v Speaker 1>year out of this country, including tellectual property theft which

1:29:01.680 --> 1:29:06.680
<v Speaker 1>was rampant. So our farmers will be helped. Nobody that

1:29:06.720 --> 1:29:09.400
<v Speaker 1>we've done more for it than our farmers, and they understand.

1:29:09.439 --> 1:29:11.479
<v Speaker 1>You have to win the war with This is a

1:29:12.360 --> 1:29:16.280
<v Speaker 1>trade war, trade battle. You can call it anything you want.

1:29:16.320 --> 1:29:18.479
<v Speaker 1>And this should have been done by presidents before me,

1:29:18.520 --> 1:29:20.679
<v Speaker 1>and not just President Obama. This should have been done

1:29:20.680 --> 1:29:23.599
<v Speaker 1>by President Bush and President Clinton. This should have been

1:29:23.600 --> 1:29:27.200
<v Speaker 1>done a long time ago. China has been absolutely the

1:29:27.240 --> 1:29:31.200
<v Speaker 1>World Trade Organization has been a disaster for the United States.

1:29:31.600 --> 1:29:35.080
<v Speaker 1>China has taken advantage of it and US, and that's

1:29:35.080 --> 1:29:37.599
<v Speaker 1>not happening anymore. But the farmers have been taken care

1:29:37.600 --> 1:29:41.479
<v Speaker 1>of sixteen billion dollars and twelve billion dollars each year. Okay,

1:29:42.880 --> 1:29:47.400
<v Speaker 1>everything that Trump just said there about the US posture

1:29:47.400 --> 1:29:51.759
<v Speaker 1>towards China under his administration, everything said there's true. Previous

1:29:51.760 --> 1:29:56.720
<v Speaker 1>administrations should have dealt with this and didn't. China is

1:29:56.800 --> 1:30:00.800
<v Speaker 1>ripping us off, is playing dirty. The World Aid Organization

1:30:00.880 --> 1:30:03.240
<v Speaker 1>should never have let China in, and it has been

1:30:03.280 --> 1:30:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a disaster. Everything he's saying there is true, and we

1:30:07.000 --> 1:30:10.040
<v Speaker 1>are supposed to skip past all of that in our

1:30:10.080 --> 1:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>assessment of this president as it relates to trade and

1:30:14.000 --> 1:30:16.479
<v Speaker 1>just more generally. I mean, yet, Bernie Sanders today saying

1:30:17.720 --> 1:30:23.120
<v Speaker 1>probably the most dangerous president in the history of presidents, Well,

1:30:23.120 --> 1:30:24.600
<v Speaker 1>why is it that this president is supposed to be

1:30:24.600 --> 1:30:26.559
<v Speaker 1>so dangerous? Is the only one who understands what we're

1:30:26.560 --> 1:30:30.120
<v Speaker 1>really dealing with when it comes to China? Why did

1:30:30.160 --> 1:30:31.960
<v Speaker 1>it come to the why why did it fall on

1:30:32.040 --> 1:30:36.400
<v Speaker 1>this president to have to be the one who's willing

1:30:36.439 --> 1:30:40.360
<v Speaker 1>to deal with this, willing to be in a position

1:30:40.400 --> 1:30:42.519
<v Speaker 1>where he'll take the political heat. You know, what was

1:30:42.560 --> 1:30:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the last time you can think of any of any

1:30:46.400 --> 1:30:51.519
<v Speaker 1>politician who was doing something that he was right, He

1:30:51.600 --> 1:30:54.000
<v Speaker 1>knew he was right, he was paying a political price,

1:30:54.040 --> 1:30:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and he said, I know I'm gonna pay a political

1:30:55.920 --> 1:30:57.439
<v Speaker 1>price for this anyway, but I want to do it.

1:30:57.640 --> 1:31:00.200
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not saying it never happens. But that kind

1:31:00.240 --> 1:31:06.160
<v Speaker 1>of leadership is rare. It is not the norm. Much

1:31:06.200 --> 1:31:08.320
<v Speaker 1>more common for people to say, well, what's the most

1:31:08.600 --> 1:31:10.840
<v Speaker 1>what is the most popular thing thing I can do here?

1:31:10.880 --> 1:31:15.559
<v Speaker 1>The thing that will most most likely result in my

1:31:15.680 --> 1:31:22.320
<v Speaker 1>continued continuation in power, my continued ability to hold the

1:31:22.320 --> 1:31:24.400
<v Speaker 1>office I hold and they do that thing, and that's

1:31:24.439 --> 1:31:27.000
<v Speaker 1>not what Trump is doing on China now. I do

1:31:27.080 --> 1:31:31.360
<v Speaker 1>think that because of the focus on getting on getting

1:31:31.400 --> 1:31:33.400
<v Speaker 1>a trade deal done, or at least on continuing to

1:31:33.400 --> 1:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>wage the trade war, the White House hasn't been as

1:31:37.640 --> 1:31:40.360
<v Speaker 1>vocal and Trump hasn't been as vocal in support of

1:31:40.400 --> 1:31:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the protesters in Hong Kong as I would like. But

1:31:44.439 --> 1:31:49.519
<v Speaker 1>I understand he's trying to balance those two very important things,

1:31:49.520 --> 1:31:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and ultimately, for us, here's the reality a trade war

1:31:52.800 --> 1:31:54.559
<v Speaker 1>is more important than what's going on in Hong Kong.

1:31:55.680 --> 1:32:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Might sound harsh, but that's true. Hey Dean Buck, it's

1:32:06.400 --> 1:32:23.000
<v Speaker 1>time for Roll Call. I'm still very partial job Stall call.

1:32:23.040 --> 1:32:24.599
<v Speaker 1>I always will be. I don't know why. I think

1:32:24.600 --> 1:32:27.639
<v Speaker 1>it gets me the most fired up of our various

1:32:27.800 --> 1:32:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Roll Call intros. So some fun news for all of you.

1:32:33.400 --> 1:32:38.320
<v Speaker 1>As of end of this month, the show is going

1:32:38.400 --> 1:32:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to be available via podcast earlier on in the day.

1:32:42.320 --> 1:32:46.360
<v Speaker 1>We're hoping by three pm Eastern, so you can start

1:32:46.400 --> 1:32:50.519
<v Speaker 1>to get this thing in your daily routine in time

1:32:50.560 --> 1:32:54.559
<v Speaker 1>to drive home, in time for your commute or a

1:32:54.640 --> 1:32:57.240
<v Speaker 1>prepping dinner. You no longer have to wait for the

1:32:57.320 --> 1:33:02.439
<v Speaker 1>podcast until late at or nine pm, eastrom which is

1:33:02.479 --> 1:33:06.519
<v Speaker 1>what it had been until pretty recently. Facebook dot com

1:33:06.520 --> 1:33:11.400
<v Speaker 1>slash Buck Sexton. That's how we get this party started.

1:33:12.479 --> 1:33:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to it. Owen Buck listening to yesterday's podcast,

1:33:20.120 --> 1:33:22.880
<v Speaker 1>and you asked about a movie. I think you were

1:33:23.000 --> 1:33:29.720
<v Speaker 1>thinking of Army of Darkness, Ding ding ding. You are correct, sir,

1:33:30.600 --> 1:33:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about Army of Darkness and I've never

1:33:34.280 --> 1:33:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I've still never seen it. Producer Mark, you can just

1:33:37.439 --> 1:33:38.880
<v Speaker 1>you can just give me the nod here. Did you

1:33:38.880 --> 1:33:43.240
<v Speaker 1>ever see Army of Darkness? No, he doesn't. He doesn't

1:33:43.439 --> 1:33:46.160
<v Speaker 1>mess with that childish nonsense, producer Mark only. He only

1:33:46.200 --> 1:33:50.920
<v Speaker 1>sticks at the classics. H William next up here. I

1:33:50.960 --> 1:33:54.120
<v Speaker 1>think you're missing the point about sleepy Joe. I think

1:33:54.120 --> 1:33:56.519
<v Speaker 1>the reason he is still topping the polls is simple.

1:33:56.880 --> 1:34:00.360
<v Speaker 1>The Democratic voters are not as crazy left as the

1:34:00.400 --> 1:34:04.799
<v Speaker 1>party thinks they are. So the average dem won't vote

1:34:04.800 --> 1:34:07.040
<v Speaker 1>for Trump, but also doesn't want to vote for a

1:34:07.160 --> 1:34:09.799
<v Speaker 1>radical leftist. So Joe, with all of his false gaffs

1:34:09.800 --> 1:34:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and senior moments, looks like the most sane person to them.

1:34:14.000 --> 1:34:18.000
<v Speaker 1>She'll tie, that is, William. I mean, you're certainly correct

1:34:18.040 --> 1:34:22.439
<v Speaker 1>from the perspective of why Joe Biden has the support

1:34:22.520 --> 1:34:24.920
<v Speaker 1>that he does up to this point, even though it

1:34:25.080 --> 1:34:32.280
<v Speaker 1>is quite clear that Biden is not a really a marquee,

1:34:32.400 --> 1:34:36.479
<v Speaker 1>a first tier national level politician. And it is because

1:34:36.479 --> 1:34:38.960
<v Speaker 1>he does have the name recognition thanks to his eight

1:34:39.040 --> 1:34:44.920
<v Speaker 1>years as Obama's vice president, and he seems like a

1:34:46.040 --> 1:34:50.680
<v Speaker 1>dogmatic but not insane Democrats. That's the best thing you

1:34:50.680 --> 1:34:53.200
<v Speaker 1>could say for Joe Biden. Now he's also very old,

1:34:53.280 --> 1:34:55.840
<v Speaker 1>he seems like he gets lost a lot, and there's

1:34:55.840 --> 1:35:00.639
<v Speaker 1>all of that stuff. But here we have it. Jason,

1:35:02.160 --> 1:35:04.720
<v Speaker 1>all right, buck, I've got to say I find it

1:35:04.760 --> 1:35:08.839
<v Speaker 1>pretty disgraceful that Betto would be running on the backs

1:35:08.880 --> 1:35:13.000
<v Speaker 1>of those killed in El Paso and elsewhere. He's using

1:35:13.040 --> 1:35:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the slaughter of innocence to try and keep himself in

1:35:15.120 --> 1:35:18.400
<v Speaker 1>the race for the presidency. Shame on him, and the

1:35:18.520 --> 1:35:21.920
<v Speaker 1>sooner he drops out, the better it would be for

1:35:22.680 --> 1:35:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the nation. I saw, Paul Jason, it was pretty fantastic.

1:35:26.640 --> 1:35:29.200
<v Speaker 1>It was my favorite poll that I've seen in quite

1:35:29.200 --> 1:35:34.120
<v Speaker 1>a while, because the pole had Betto at a whopping

1:35:35.840 --> 1:35:39.120
<v Speaker 1>zero percent nationally at this point. Now, I don't know

1:35:39.160 --> 1:35:42.360
<v Speaker 1>if that's an accurate pole or not, but I did

1:35:42.400 --> 1:35:45.719
<v Speaker 1>see it, and it feels like betto Beto is a zero,

1:35:45.880 --> 1:35:48.800
<v Speaker 1>so he should be at zero. Buck, Why are you

1:35:48.840 --> 1:35:51.840
<v Speaker 1>so mean? I'm totally just singing this song to your

1:35:51.880 --> 1:35:55.120
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend because I want to be her friend. I'm not

1:35:55.680 --> 1:35:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not that guy at the front party with a

1:35:58.360 --> 1:36:01.600
<v Speaker 1>guitar who's just heading to be your girlfriend's friend. But like,

1:36:01.680 --> 1:36:04.519
<v Speaker 1>how's other things in mind? I'm not that guy, Buck,

1:36:05.040 --> 1:36:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I'd give myself an eight exactly exactly. He would always

1:36:10.320 --> 1:36:14.160
<v Speaker 1>give himself an A. But he's a zero zero for

1:36:14.320 --> 1:36:21.360
<v Speaker 1>betto Susan. Here we go. Hey, Before I started my business,

1:36:21.400 --> 1:36:24.519
<v Speaker 1>I had a bumper sticker that read halt climate Change,

1:36:24.920 --> 1:36:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I like seventy and Sonny. Before that, I worked for

1:36:29.080 --> 1:36:31.680
<v Speaker 1>the government going to public sector businesses, and I had

1:36:31.720 --> 1:36:36.120
<v Speaker 1>another bumper sticker that read government adult supervision required. Because

1:36:36.120 --> 1:36:38.559
<v Speaker 1>of a union flap, we could have any bumper stickers

1:36:38.560 --> 1:36:41.439
<v Speaker 1>we wanted. I also copied a bumper sticker I saw

1:36:41.520 --> 1:36:45.200
<v Speaker 1>annoy a liberal work succeed be Happy. I got the

1:36:45.280 --> 1:36:51.080
<v Speaker 1>most positive comments on that one. Love the show Shields High.

1:36:51.120 --> 1:36:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I used to have a mug with Rumsfeld

1:36:53.200 --> 1:36:54.760
<v Speaker 1>on it. Back in the day. I had a lot

1:36:54.840 --> 1:36:59.080
<v Speaker 1>of right wing kitch I think you could say I

1:36:59.080 --> 1:37:05.040
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of collectibles and Bush Gewat. I was

1:37:05.080 --> 1:37:08.120
<v Speaker 1>big into the GWAT, the Global War on Terror At,

1:37:08.120 --> 1:37:11.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Gewat memorabilia. I don't really have much

1:37:11.880 --> 1:37:14.680
<v Speaker 1>of it anymore. I've got I've reached the point now

1:37:14.680 --> 1:37:19.200
<v Speaker 1>where all my old CIA stuff, all my stuff from

1:37:19.600 --> 1:37:22.880
<v Speaker 1>countries all over the world, and photos of me, you know,

1:37:22.960 --> 1:37:25.840
<v Speaker 1>briefing the president and doing other cool stuff, that's all

1:37:25.880 --> 1:37:27.880
<v Speaker 1>just like locked away in a closet now. I don't really,

1:37:28.520 --> 1:37:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I used to have a little almost

1:37:31.200 --> 1:37:35.559
<v Speaker 1>like a shrine to government service in my very small apartment,

1:37:35.600 --> 1:37:38.760
<v Speaker 1>but now it's it's an under the bed in a

1:37:38.880 --> 1:37:43.120
<v Speaker 1>plastic tupperware bin kind of thing shrine. So yeah, I'm

1:37:43.120 --> 1:37:46.960
<v Speaker 1>not as I'm not as into the remembrance of those

1:37:47.000 --> 1:37:52.679
<v Speaker 1>government days. C k hey buck, you mentioned General Mattis

1:37:52.720 --> 1:37:55.120
<v Speaker 1>saying he had seven thousand books and read them all.

1:37:55.400 --> 1:37:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't sure if you meant you didn't think he

1:37:57.080 --> 1:38:00.000
<v Speaker 1>could have read that many. My my love of book

1:38:00.240 --> 1:38:03.519
<v Speaker 1>second only to my love of Dalmatians. I don't know, ck,

1:38:03.800 --> 1:38:09.200
<v Speaker 1>that's already, that's strike one. I'm just kidding. Dalmatians are fine.

1:38:09.439 --> 1:38:13.640
<v Speaker 1>They're very pretty if you like dogs that don't necessarily

1:38:13.640 --> 1:38:16.360
<v Speaker 1>have the Swedish temperament. I'm just I'm gonna lose. I'm

1:38:16.400 --> 1:38:18.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna lose a listener here. I'm kidding. Ck, I'm kidding.

1:38:18.479 --> 1:38:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Dalmatians are great, and I'm guessing I have thousands of

1:38:21.320 --> 1:38:24.160
<v Speaker 1>books myself, she writes, I'm kind of afraid to attempt

1:38:24.200 --> 1:38:26.240
<v Speaker 1>to count them. With bookcases in almost every room in

1:38:26.320 --> 1:38:29.840
<v Speaker 1>my house, including the garage and the basement, finding books

1:38:29.840 --> 1:38:31.679
<v Speaker 1>for ten cents at a thrift shop is like hitting

1:38:31.680 --> 1:38:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the lottery. For me, I read approx. Me a one

1:38:33.880 --> 1:38:37.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred books a year. It seems quite possible for General

1:38:37.040 --> 1:38:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Matters to have read seven thousand over the course of

1:38:39.880 --> 1:38:42.800
<v Speaker 1>his life so far. Good Reads is a fun app

1:38:42.840 --> 1:38:44.640
<v Speaker 1>to keep track of what you've read. Even if I

1:38:44.680 --> 1:38:46.600
<v Speaker 1>live to one hundred, they'll still be books awaiting in

1:38:46.640 --> 1:38:49.479
<v Speaker 1>my shelves. Fill your house with stacks of books and

1:38:49.520 --> 1:38:52.160
<v Speaker 1>all the crannies and all the nooks doctor Seus's words

1:38:52.160 --> 1:38:55.160
<v Speaker 1>of wisdom. Love your show, buck Ck, thank you for

1:38:55.200 --> 1:38:57.880
<v Speaker 1>your note. And maybe maybe I'm just annoyed at myself

1:38:57.880 --> 1:39:00.960
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like I used to rip through more

1:39:01.000 --> 1:39:04.040
<v Speaker 1>books and more quickly than I have in the last

1:39:04.040 --> 1:39:06.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of years because I've been very busy trying to

1:39:06.720 --> 1:39:08.800
<v Speaker 1>do this whole media thing. I still read. I still

1:39:08.840 --> 1:39:14.479
<v Speaker 1>read books. I actually just finished I just finished the

1:39:17.320 --> 1:39:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Williamson's book on Socialism, which I found very very interesting.

1:39:22.000 --> 1:39:26.439
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty he deep dives, that's for sure. And I'm

1:39:26.840 --> 1:39:28.840
<v Speaker 1>actually in the process right now. I've really died. I

1:39:28.920 --> 1:39:30.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of want to read this book just on salt

1:39:31.360 --> 1:39:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that I downloaded. It's just salt, but the history of

1:39:35.400 --> 1:39:37.320
<v Speaker 1>it and how important. I know it sounds weird, but

1:39:37.360 --> 1:39:40.559
<v Speaker 1>it was a best seller. I think Kurlanski, I think

1:39:40.600 --> 1:39:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the name of the author I might read that. We'll see.

1:39:42.800 --> 1:39:44.599
<v Speaker 1>I'll let you guys know. You know, I did see

1:39:44.640 --> 1:39:48.880
<v Speaker 1>something yesterday the guy who is behind the Goldman Sacks

1:39:48.920 --> 1:39:52.400
<v Speaker 1>elevator account, which at one point was one of the

1:39:52.439 --> 1:39:57.280
<v Speaker 1>funniest parody accounts on Twitter period. Now the funniest parody

1:39:57.320 --> 1:40:01.240
<v Speaker 1>account on Twitter is Titanium McGrath, No question, Titany McGrath

1:40:01.920 --> 1:40:06.559
<v Speaker 1>is the best social media parody account on Twitter that

1:40:06.680 --> 1:40:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I have seen. And I'm a fan. I like to

1:40:09.120 --> 1:40:13.479
<v Speaker 1>think that I'm a social media parody connoisseur. May we

1:40:13.600 --> 1:40:18.200
<v Speaker 1>be a seer, but Titaniy McGrath is woker than woke,

1:40:18.280 --> 1:40:21.799
<v Speaker 1>is the way I would describe it. But Goldman Sachs Elevator,

1:40:21.920 --> 1:40:25.800
<v Speaker 1>especially in the aftermath of the two thousand and eight

1:40:26.560 --> 1:40:33.600
<v Speaker 1>financial meltdown, was just a really funny and biting satire

1:40:33.920 --> 1:40:37.840
<v Speaker 1>of investment banker attitudes. That guy published a list of

1:40:37.840 --> 1:40:40.160
<v Speaker 1>the hundred books that you have to read if you're

1:40:40.479 --> 1:40:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that every man has to read. And I looked at

1:40:43.960 --> 1:40:45.479
<v Speaker 1>it was a pretty good list. But there's a lot

1:40:45.479 --> 1:40:48.080
<v Speaker 1>of stuff on there that I think that people just

1:40:48.560 --> 1:40:50.800
<v Speaker 1>believe they have to read because everyone else said so.

1:40:51.000 --> 1:40:54.400
<v Speaker 1>So maybe I'll come up with a little list of

1:40:54.439 --> 1:40:57.080
<v Speaker 1>my own at some point. I know, I keep saying,

1:40:57.080 --> 1:40:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll post all the books you guys want. I just

1:40:59.760 --> 1:41:02.120
<v Speaker 1>post all the books are all my Kindle online on

1:41:02.200 --> 1:41:04.240
<v Speaker 1>a list, and you can see what I've read and

1:41:04.520 --> 1:41:07.880
<v Speaker 1>see what I'm still hoping to get to. So there's

1:41:07.880 --> 1:41:10.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot that look at. If I could, I would

1:41:10.680 --> 1:41:13.280
<v Speaker 1>just spend three hours a day reading a book reading

1:41:13.280 --> 1:41:15.880
<v Speaker 1>books two hours if I if I had my way,

1:41:16.320 --> 1:41:18.720
<v Speaker 1>two hours a day of just reading books. But it's

1:41:18.840 --> 1:41:20.920
<v Speaker 1>very hard to carve out. I got two hours day

1:41:20.920 --> 1:41:22.320
<v Speaker 1>to read the books. I gotta go to the gym

1:41:22.360 --> 1:41:25.040
<v Speaker 1>for an hour I gotta And then some days I'm

1:41:25.080 --> 1:41:28.120
<v Speaker 1>just in sweats, trying to prepare for radio and TV

1:41:28.200 --> 1:41:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and things, and I never get any of these things done.

1:41:30.000 --> 1:41:33.360
<v Speaker 1>It's tough, you know what it's like, folks. Procrastination is

1:41:33.400 --> 1:41:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the devil that sits on all of our shoulders all

1:41:35.960 --> 1:41:40.599
<v Speaker 1>the time, Steph, book, could you move into the belly

1:41:40.960 --> 1:41:43.200
<v Speaker 1>or rather, how could you move into the belly of

1:41:43.240 --> 1:41:45.479
<v Speaker 1>the beast? No matter how much I love the culture there,

1:41:45.520 --> 1:41:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I would never live there. I go to Amorous to

1:41:48.960 --> 1:41:51.080
<v Speaker 1>visit family and can't get out of there quick enough.

1:41:51.160 --> 1:41:53.519
<v Speaker 1>I love lefty hippies as long as they are three

1:41:53.800 --> 1:42:01.080
<v Speaker 1>states away. Shields Hill. Well, Steph, I'd say, you know,

1:42:01.120 --> 1:42:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm from New York, and so I can't seed this

1:42:04.240 --> 1:42:07.360
<v Speaker 1>place to the commies entirely. You know, I can't bring

1:42:07.400 --> 1:42:14.200
<v Speaker 1>myself to be completely I can't abandon my hometown, even

1:42:14.200 --> 1:42:16.639
<v Speaker 1>though I know they are all these leftists running around

1:42:16.640 --> 1:42:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and who run everything and all the rest of it.

1:42:18.280 --> 1:42:22.439
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see Thorburn. Hi there, Buck, if you'd like

1:42:22.520 --> 1:42:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to discuss the more recent mass shootings are Thorburn. That's

1:42:25.200 --> 1:42:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a cool Thorburn sounds like the name of a character

1:42:28.439 --> 1:42:31.920
<v Speaker 1>from Game of Thrones, you know, Thorburn of the North,

1:42:33.240 --> 1:42:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Thorburn of the Two Swords. You know that's kind of cool.

1:42:38.840 --> 1:42:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not all right? Whatever either, Buck, if you'd like

1:42:41.840 --> 1:42:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to discuss the more recent mass shootings across the country

1:42:44.280 --> 1:42:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and perhaps the why and the how behind their frequency,

1:42:47.800 --> 1:42:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I know of a man who's spoken on the topic

1:42:49.439 --> 1:42:51.600
<v Speaker 1>more than once and is, to say the least, very insightful.

1:42:51.960 --> 1:42:54.280
<v Speaker 1>So with the possibility that you'll have another segment where

1:42:54.280 --> 1:42:56.600
<v Speaker 1>you decide to talk about America's endless mass shootings, and

1:42:56.600 --> 1:42:59.240
<v Speaker 1>you'd like to bring him on the name, the guy

1:42:59.479 --> 1:43:03.960
<v Speaker 1>is Tom Freel. Okay, thanks, I've never heard of this guy,

1:43:04.080 --> 1:43:08.840
<v Speaker 1>but I will. I'll google him. Google it. That's what

1:43:09.120 --> 1:43:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Alex Jones used to say, and he get really fired

1:43:10.840 --> 1:43:14.360
<v Speaker 1>up about something. You google. It's on Google Illuminati to

1:43:14.360 --> 1:43:16.040
<v Speaker 1>build the birds. It's all It's all there. It's all

1:43:16.040 --> 1:43:17.160
<v Speaker 1>there if you just want to read it, if you

1:43:17.200 --> 1:43:20.080
<v Speaker 1>just do do the research. Don't don't don't listen to

1:43:20.080 --> 1:43:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that Maintree media telling you all that other stuff. Buck

1:43:24.080 --> 1:43:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Sexton infiltration a conservative media guy. That guy's a CIA plant.

1:43:27.800 --> 1:43:29.519
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sex. I know I know what he's I know

1:43:29.600 --> 1:43:32.360
<v Speaker 1>his game. He's got that smug face. Looks like that

1:43:32.400 --> 1:43:35.120
<v Speaker 1>guy from Parks and Wreck. Looks just like him, except

1:43:35.120 --> 1:43:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a little, a little bigger. It's like Parks and Wreck

1:43:37.680 --> 1:43:39.800
<v Speaker 1>with poofy your hair. You can't trust a man his

1:43:39.880 --> 1:43:43.040
<v Speaker 1>hair is that poofy. He may have a point about that.

1:43:43.120 --> 1:43:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Actually he may have a point. Nicola spell flik Nikola.

1:43:50.880 --> 1:43:53.479
<v Speaker 1>If the premise of an old horror movie revolted you

1:43:53.520 --> 1:43:56.600
<v Speaker 1>that much, A thousand dollars says, it's the Human Centipede.

1:43:56.640 --> 1:43:58.960
<v Speaker 1>If it is, I'll send the money anyways, if you

1:43:59.000 --> 1:44:01.920
<v Speaker 1>promise to not watch it. Thank you for your work. Buck.

1:44:03.360 --> 1:44:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I've heard The Human Centipede is really gross, but I

1:44:06.439 --> 1:44:10.599
<v Speaker 1>wasn't even I can't even begin to tell you or

1:44:10.640 --> 1:44:17.000
<v Speaker 1>remember what exactly it was that That producer Brandon, who

1:44:17.040 --> 1:44:21.599
<v Speaker 1>now is doing more, he guessed DJ's for us sometimes

1:44:21.720 --> 1:44:24.000
<v Speaker 1>in the show, but we don't see much of him

1:44:24.040 --> 1:44:26.519
<v Speaker 1>these days. But he's very into horror movies, and I

1:44:26.920 --> 1:44:30.080
<v Speaker 1>just I can't horror movies depressed me. I watched that

1:44:30.120 --> 1:44:32.120
<v Speaker 1>movie The Witch, and I told you guys about it,

1:44:32.439 --> 1:44:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and I was a little freaked out for a couple

1:44:34.080 --> 1:44:37.559
<v Speaker 1>of days. And I'm a grown man, it's not afraid

1:44:37.600 --> 1:44:40.160
<v Speaker 1>of nothing to nobody except apparently scary movies on the

1:44:40.160 --> 1:44:43.559
<v Speaker 1>television screen. That gets me scared. I don't like it,

1:44:44.800 --> 1:44:50.760
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, Brian, whoa, here we go. Buck. Not sure

1:44:50.800 --> 1:44:52.960
<v Speaker 1>how most people in the States, how much most people's

1:44:53.080 --> 1:44:56.120
<v Speaker 1>it's realized that how badly the Bahamas was hit. I've

1:44:56.120 --> 1:44:59.360
<v Speaker 1>been fortuit have spent a lot of time working in

1:44:58.520 --> 1:45:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the in the Bahamas of the years, Marsh Harbor, the

1:45:01.680 --> 1:45:04.360
<v Speaker 1>major town that area, has been completely wiped off the map.

1:45:04.720 --> 1:45:06.559
<v Speaker 1>The people of Bahamas are some of the nicest, most

1:45:06.560 --> 1:45:09.519
<v Speaker 1>genuine people I've ever met. The government of the Bahamas

1:45:09.560 --> 1:45:12.000
<v Speaker 1>is bloated, corrupt and bankrupt, so recovery is not going

1:45:12.040 --> 1:45:13.559
<v Speaker 1>to be easy for them. Would be nice to see

1:45:13.560 --> 1:45:16.599
<v Speaker 1>a few major cruise lines pony up, who've been profiting

1:45:16.640 --> 1:45:19.920
<v Speaker 1>from the Bahamians generosity for so many years, send a

1:45:19.920 --> 1:45:22.680
<v Speaker 1>few boats over to support these good people alongside our

1:45:22.760 --> 1:45:25.880
<v Speaker 1>armed forces are already there to pray for the Bahamas. Brian. Well, Brian,

1:45:25.960 --> 1:45:28.559
<v Speaker 1>that's a very important note to end the show on today,

1:45:28.560 --> 1:45:30.920
<v Speaker 1>so thank you for writing it in. We are sending

1:45:30.920 --> 1:45:32.479
<v Speaker 1>thoughts and prayers and if there's a way to send

1:45:32.520 --> 1:45:36.719
<v Speaker 1>more resources, food, medicine assistance. We should all certainly consider

1:45:36.760 --> 1:45:41.519
<v Speaker 1>doing so in the ways that we can. Team has

1:45:41.520 --> 1:45:43.559
<v Speaker 1>always an honor and a privilege to be here with

1:45:43.600 --> 1:45:46.599
<v Speaker 1>you in the Freedom Hut. Thank you so much for listening,

1:45:46.600 --> 1:45:49.520
