This is the buck 8 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: Sexton Show where the mission or mission is to decode 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, 10 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: you're a great American. Again the buck Sexton Show begins. 11 00:00:51,320 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: Remember they did it. They did it, folks, Democrats have 12 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: gone full crazy. Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Great 13 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: to have you here, and honor and a privilege. As 14 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: always those who have been listening to me for a while. 15 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: Now that I've been saying all along, I just don't 16 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: like to repeat my predictions. Just like I've been telling 17 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: you Biden's not going to be the nominee. I'm looking 18 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: pretty good on that one. I've also told you many 19 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: times that they're going to impeach. They can't help it, 20 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: They're going to impeach the president. Guess what Nancy Pelosi 21 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 1: today announced they're beginning an impeachment inquiry, which just means 22 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: that they're now trying to add some legitimacy, trying to 23 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: add some sense of of process to what is nothing 24 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: more than a temper tantrum three years in the making 25 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: from a Democrat left that is unhinged and increasingly I 26 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: think obviously unwell. You had Pelosi today giving a bit 27 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: of a meandering and stumbling press conference, which I suppose 28 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: is not surprising. She had been alluding to this all day. 29 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: She had some conference at the Atlantic Monthly, a left 30 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: wing rag that presents itself with fancy prose, and decided 31 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: that she was going to give us a little sense 32 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: of what was coming up. But now we've actually heard 33 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: it from Pelosi. They are now going to impeach the president. 34 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they're saying it's a an inquiry. Does anyone 35 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: really believe that they're going to start an impeachment inquiry 36 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: and there won't actually be an impeachment. I mean, we'll 37 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: talk about a waste of everyone's time. Now, I'm not 38 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: saying that Democrats are above wasting time, but it's not 39 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: good politics for them. They're going to have to they're 40 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: going to impeach this president. It's interesting, isn't it. Last 41 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: week they were going to impeach Brett Kavanaugh. But then anybody, 42 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: anybody who is honest and has above a second grade 43 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: reading level, figured out really quickly that it was a sham, 44 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: that it was a scam, and that it was a 45 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: lie that they were trying to once again perpetrate against 46 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh. So now they've moved on to this. Before 47 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: I let you hear from Madame's speaker herself, Nancy Pelosis, 48 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: she announced this because I want you to know exactly 49 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: what they're saying, because we have to discuss where they're 50 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: going to take this. I would like it to be 51 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: very clear for all of us that they have moved 52 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: to impeachment on the basis of an incident that they 53 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: do not know any of the details of yet for themselves, 54 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: they do not know what was said. They're basing this 55 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: on a conversation that a person in the intelligence community 56 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: complained about that they heard about secondhand, and without knowing 57 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: the facts, they have decided to go ahead and start 58 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: this impeachment inquiry without understanding what really went on here. 59 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: They've decided that they should push for maximum impact right away. 60 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: First you have Pelosi doing the usual, the usual nonsense 61 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: about how this president is owed just such a violation 62 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: of the Constitution. Everything, his every breath is a violation 63 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: of the Constitution. The Intelligent Community Inspector General formally notified 64 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: the Congress that the administration was forbidding him from turning 65 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: over a whistleblower complaint on Constitution Day. This is a 66 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: violation of law. Shortly thereafter, press reports began to break 67 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: of a phone call by the President of the United 68 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: States calling upon a foreign power to intervene in his election. 69 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: This is a breach of his constitutional responsibilities. The facts 70 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: are these. I just want to pause there and notice 71 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: how she's immediately ties us to Russia collusion in some way, 72 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: just rhetorically. This is Ukraine, different country. Not the Democrats 73 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: really care. Facts don't really matter to them, but that 74 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: he called on foreign interference in the election. Oh, they've 75 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: they've already. That's the talking point, right, that's the charge again. 76 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: This is another another time that they're going to say 77 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: that President Trump wants foreign interference in the election. Good heavens, 78 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: what will we do? And then she goes on the 79 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: Intelligence Community Inspector General, who is appointed by President Trump, 80 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: determined that the complaint is both of urgent concern and credible, 81 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: and it's disclosure, he went on to say, relates to 82 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: one of the most significant important of the Director of 83 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: National Intelligence is responsibility to the American people. So so 84 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: this is important for you to know as well. The 85 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: appointed by Trump thing. This is like when they used 86 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: to say that Muller was a Republican. Comey was a 87 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: Republican is meaningless. Comey was actually a comy as still 88 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: along as we found out, and Muller was a figurehead 89 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: for a left wing hatchet job operation against Trump. And 90 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: some of the people that hate Trump the most are 91 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: in fact Republicans, are former Republicans, in the cases of 92 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: people who write for that dumpster Fire, the Bulwark and 93 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: other places right former Republicans. Now they're fighting for the 94 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: other team because you know they didn't. If they can't 95 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: have the leadership of the Republican Party, nobody can. And 96 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: that's the never Trump rallying cry. Now better to have 97 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: the better to have the socialists in charge than Trump. 98 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: But I'm still a Republican, they say, Please, It's embarrassing 99 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: for everybody. Most of all of them. But Pelosi says 100 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,799 Speaker 1: things here that are plainly not in evidence. Think about 101 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: the recklessness of this moving to an impeachment hearing based 102 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: on what is effectively a rumor reported on by anti 103 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: Trump newspapers. That's what they're doing here with impeachment. They're 104 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: going based on a rumor. Here is Speaker Pelosi. Remember 105 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: this just happened at five eastern Today's We've got what 106 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: is essentially breaking news for you here just in the 107 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: last hour. Here's what Speaker Pelosi had to say about 108 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: the whistleblower complaint. For more than twenty five years, I've 109 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: served on the Intelligence Committee as a member, as the 110 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: ranking member, as part of the Gang of Four, even 111 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: before I was in the leadership. I was there when 112 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: we created the Office of the Director of National Intelligence 113 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: that did not exist before two thousand and four. I 114 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: was there even earlier in the nineties when we wrote 115 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: the Whistleblower Laws and continued to write them to improve them, 116 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: to ensure the security of our intelligence and the safety 117 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: of our whistleblowers. I know what their purpose was, and 118 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: we proceeded with balance and caution as we wrote the laws. 119 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: I can set with authority the Trump administration's actions undermine 120 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: both our national security and our intelligence and our protections 121 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: of the whistle blowers more than both. So so I 122 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: can say with authority that Nancy Pelosi has no idea 123 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: what she's talking about. She doesn't know, she doesn't know. 124 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: And what I meant to say before was bringing up 125 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: this whistle blower that he was. I'm not the whistle blower. 126 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: The inspector general. He's appointed by Trump. He's a functionary, 127 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: he's a bureaucrat. We don't know this guy is Trump 128 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: doesn't Yeah, sure, this guy is the one that you 129 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: know that the president can't know the heart of every 130 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: person and every single job that's that's a presidential point 131 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: of the administration. They do a little due diligence. Sure 132 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: they try to look at the record, but you know, 133 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: he's the inspector general for the intelligence community. I mean, 134 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: it's not the Secretary of State. You do what you can. 135 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: And more importantly, Pelosi doesn't know what was said on 136 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: this phone call, doesn't even know, and she's going forward 137 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: with this. Ah, but we all know what this is. 138 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: This is politics for a desperate Democratic party. You know 139 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: why they're so worried Biden's starting to slip. Biden is 140 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: neck and neck, even behind in some polls. I'm seeing 141 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: in Iowa, New Hampshire to Warren. If there's a changing 142 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: of the guard. The Democratic Party feels very uncertain about it. 143 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: Warden perhaps Warren perhaps is a little too radical, a 144 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: too left wing for the general electorate. What are they 145 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: going to do? Oh, they need to They need to 146 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: stack the deck. You see, how do they stack the 147 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: deck against Trump? Ah? Yes, impeachmentt That'll do it, That'll 148 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: make it work. They think the actions taken to date 149 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: by the President have seriously violated the Constitution, especially when 150 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: the president says Article too says I can do whatever 151 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: I want. For the past several months, we have been 152 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: investigating in our committees and litigating in the so the 153 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: House can gather all the relevant facts and consider whether 154 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: to exercise its full Article one powers, including a constitutional 155 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: power of the utmost gravity approval of articles of impeachment. 156 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: And this week the President has admitted to asking the 157 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: President of Ukraine to take actions which would benefit him politically. 158 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: The action of the actions of the Trump presidency revealed 159 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: the dishonorable fact of the President's betrayal of his oath 160 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of 161 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: the integrity of our elections. Therefore, today I'm announcing the 162 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: House of Represents moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. 163 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm directing our six committees to proceed with their investigations 164 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry. The president must be 165 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: held accountable. Is above the law. Hillary Clinton's above a law. 166 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: But that's a question for another time. I guess Nancy 167 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: Pelosi is an ethical and political disgrace. What's the charge, Nancy? 168 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: What she keeps saying, endangered our national security, endangers our elections, 169 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: endangers this endangers that. Okay, Nancy, what's the charge? What 170 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: exactly did he do? She doesn't know. Oh, but she 171 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: says he admitted. What did he admit to, Nancy? He 172 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: admitted to telling a foreign head of state to look 173 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: into corruption in his country. Well, that seems completely legitimate. 174 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: If a corollary of that, if a secondary effect of 175 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: that is that somebody who is Biden's family member is 176 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: maybe going to get into a little bit of trouble. 177 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: We don't know yet, too bad. What is the illegality 178 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: because it benefits him politically. I got news for you. 179 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: If that's the standard, everything a president tries to do, 180 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: he wants to do to benefit him politically. Presidents don't 181 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: do things, generally speaking, that don't benefit them politically. Oh 182 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm you know. We must have articles of 183 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: impeachment against President Trump. He wants to end the war 184 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan just because he wants to see his poll 185 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: numbers go up. You could make that argument, but then 186 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: you'd also be making the argument that the president doesn't 187 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: have any constitutional authority at all to do anything. They 188 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: keep doing this. They think they can bludgeon us with 189 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: narrative and fake newsmen going on tv J and blah blah. 190 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: I'm putting all these absolutely maniacal anti Trump so called 191 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: legal analysts who are just pundit clowns who say things 192 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: that are wrong over and over again. They're proven wrong 193 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: over and over again, and they just keep shoveling them 194 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: at the American people because the Democratic Party is unwell. 195 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: They've lost it. Trump's arrangement syndrome has reached critical mass. 196 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: They don't know how to deal with the world as 197 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: it actually is, so now they've concocted this whole theory. 198 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: And I've played for the audio from Nancy Pelosi herself. 199 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: What did the president? What's the violation? Just because she 200 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: says that she doesn't like it, there's a violation. What's 201 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: the crime. I've heard people on TV, on MSNBC, somebody 202 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 1: said treason, treason? How getting rid of corruption? Maybe Joe 203 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: Biden's son should have been taken fifty thousand dollars a 204 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: month from one of the most corrupt governments. Are really 205 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: ruins corrupt, I should say, companies in one of the 206 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: most corrupt governments in one of the most corrupt countries 207 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: in the entire Eurasian land masks. You know, maybe that's 208 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: an issue to look at just a little bit. It's madness, 209 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: But this is where we are. I'm just beginning. As 210 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: you can tell, it's gotten me a little bit fired up. 211 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: I am just beginning to fight. We'll be right back 212 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: the future. About democracy is a state that come a 213 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: time when you have to be moved by a spirit 214 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: of history to take action to protect and desert tegatory 215 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: of my nation. I believe, I truly believe the time 216 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: to begin impeachment proceeding against this president has come. To 217 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: delay or to do otherwise, we're betrayed the foundation of 218 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: my democracy. You knew that impeachment was coming when Representative 219 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: Lewis here decided that he was going to give this 220 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: speech this morning, and that's when they were they're adding 221 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: up the votes, and then the Congressional Black Caucus moved 222 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: into the yes column, and then you just knew, okay, 223 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: now that they're they've got the votes. Why now, though, 224 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: of all the things Trump has been accused of, remember 225 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: they had the ten possible instances we've heard so much, 226 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: the ten possible instances of obstruction of justice. This is 227 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: what they think that this is the straw that broke 228 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: the camel's back. This is the one that pushed it 229 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: too far that the president. They don't know. We keep 230 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: saying that the President did or said, they don't know, 231 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: We don't know. We'll get into the whole transcript release 232 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: fight in a second, but it's absolutely utterly insane that 233 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: they would Why would they do this? Why would they 234 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: push now when the transcript the President has said it 235 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: is going to be released. I believe tomorrow. Tomorrow, I 236 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: think is when the transcript is supposed to come out. Yeah, 237 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: that's what the President has said why do it in 238 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: advance on the transcript? Ah, you know why, folks, This 239 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: was all about just getting enough Democrats to cross the 240 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: impeachment rubicon. That was the purpose all along, that once 241 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: they're on the other side of the river, it's never coming. 242 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: It's never going to change. Now they all have to 243 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: go through with it. So this was more than anything else, 244 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: a media and far left Democrat pressure campaign that finally 245 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: worked enough that there's no turning back. They're gonna have 246 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: to now see this thing through. They're going to drag 247 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,479 Speaker 1: the country while we have the clown show of Democrat 248 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: candidates just saying idiotic things looking entirely unserious as who 249 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: could or should be the next leader of the free world. 250 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: But they're going to have the whole country stuck on 251 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: whether or not impeachment is going to happen when we 252 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: all know that this is just like I told you. 253 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: And I don't like to be that guy that says 254 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: I told you, I told you, But if you if 255 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: you go back to certainly this past summer, I was 256 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: saying that impeachment was going to happen because the Democrats 257 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: are crazy, and I understand what crazy Democrats do. But 258 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: now we have to all understand there's no way they 259 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: don't hold the vote and impeach this president. They're not 260 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: going to get the two thirds they need in the 261 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: Senator remove him, not even close. But now this is 262 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: going to become a political fixation for the Democrats, and 263 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: it is really just one big OPO effort against the 264 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: President to put him on defense while the Democrats figure 265 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: out which style of socialists they're going to put forward. 266 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: You know, who is going to take the mantle of 267 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: anti Trump savior of our democracy. They keep saying these things, 268 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: savior of our democracy. It's like they don't live in America, 269 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: a country that is right now at peace, that is prosperous, 270 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: that by all observable metrics, is doing quite well. Yet 271 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,479 Speaker 1: we don't hear anything about that, right. All we hear 272 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: about is our democracy is under threat. Why I voted 273 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: for President Trump a lot? Have you voted a vast majority? 274 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: Have you voted for President Trump? Well? In what ways? 275 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: A democracy under threat? Oh? I'm sorry. The people who 276 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: have done nothing other than try to run the most 277 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: bad faith, shameless investigations of this president possible to stop him, 278 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: to destroy his presidency, they now want to lecture the 279 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: rest of us in just what exactly, what exactly fair 280 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: play looks like. I don't think so. After the special 281 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: counsel that never should have happened, After all the congressional 282 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: inquiries and hearings, it never should have happened, the nonsense 283 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: around the twenty fifth Amendment, they're going to remove him. 284 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they have tried cou's against this president, and 285 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: now they want to tell us that he can't play 286 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: a little bare knuckle politics of his own and have 287 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: somebody remember he didn't say throw Biden's son in prison, 288 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: he said investigate. We're told we'll get back into this 289 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: in a moment. Yes, I believe that the transcript should 290 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: be released. I believe that in particular right now, the 291 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: House committees are are asking for it, and they should 292 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: be granted that. Listen, again, this gets back to an 293 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: erosion of our democracy. Donald Trump is trying to play 294 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: politics with this issue, and he is trying to collaborate 295 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: with and conspire with a foreign leader to interfere in 296 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: our democracy, and I will I have absolutely no support 297 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: for that. And I believe that that this is a 298 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: political tactic being waged by Donald Trump because he obviously 299 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: perceives a threat that is a political threat, and I 300 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: have no support for it whatsoever. I just need to 301 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: understand how all these Democrats can speak about this like 302 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: they know what is in the transcript that they have 303 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: not read. We've skipped right past this, and you saw 304 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: how this was set up on Saturday. Well, you know, 305 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: you know Jake Chopper will well excuse me, he kind 306 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: of sounds like that. Well, you know, I just want 307 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: to know, like what's going You know, if Don Junior 308 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: was being investigated by that, you know, you're like, all right, 309 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: so we're just gonna pretend like we know this is 310 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: what happened, even though we don't know what happened. And 311 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: after all these months we've had of Democrats saying, whoa 312 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: hold on, we have to wait for the facts here, 313 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: we have to wait and see, you know what's going on. 314 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: Hold on a minute, hold on a second. To that, 315 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: I just say, huh, So now they don't have we 316 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: waited all this time, they don't have the facts, and 317 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: yet they're moving to impeachment. Let's also just the transcript. 318 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: The President has said that he will release the transcript. 319 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: What reason could there possibly be other than what I've 320 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: already said about how you just need you need to 321 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: get Democrats to commit so they can't turn around. You 322 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: need them to get to they have to scuttle their 323 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: ships on impeachment. They didn't actually Cortes didn't light them 324 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: on fire. As you know, he's scuttled them. It's different. 325 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: And the President has said that he will release this transcript. 326 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: So why aren't we seeing Why aren't we seeing more 327 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: of a an effort to at least hold back until 328 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: we know what's in them? Why go now? Because it's 329 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: not really about what's in them, It's about the narrative, 330 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: you see. I love how the as soon as the 331 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: President had said earlier today he had tweeted out that 332 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: he was that he was going to release it, all 333 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: of it. It went from release the transcript, why won't 334 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: you release the transcript? What are you covering up? Democrats 335 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: were saying that the media was all saying that too. 336 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you can't release the transcript. What if 337 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: foreign leaders don't trust you anymore on phone calls? And 338 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: also you know what if the American people just can't 339 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: handle what's in there? I mean, they just change all 340 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,959 Speaker 1: the time. They have no principles folks. It's just all 341 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: emotions and nastiness. And they've convinced themselves that Trump is 342 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: the worst person since Hitler, maybe as bad as Hitler. 343 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: So anything is justified. I mean, the President's clearly just 344 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: you know, I was gonna say he's got to be 345 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 1: frazzled by all this, He's got to be rattled. But 346 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: now this president loves a fight, God bless him. He's 347 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: just gonna say, you know what, fine, dig in, let's go, 348 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: let's see what you got. He was tweeting right after 349 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: Nancy's speech, but he did Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff and of 350 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: course Maxine Waters. Can you believe this? They never even 351 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: saw the transcript of the call a total witch hunt 352 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: and then in all caps presidential harassment. Yeah, that is, 353 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: that is what is going on. So I think that's her. 354 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,479 Speaker 1: By the way, He also tweeted earlier in the day, 355 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: I'm currently at the United Nations representing our country, but 356 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: have authorized the release tomorrow of the complete, fully declassified, 357 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: an unredacted transcript of my phone conversation with President Zelenski 358 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: of Ukraine. You will see it was a very friendly 359 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: and totally appropriate call. No pressure and unlike Joe Biden 360 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: and his son. No quid pro quo. This is nothing 361 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: more than a continuation of the greatest and most destructive 362 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: witch hunt of all time. Speaking of quid pro quos, 363 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: here's the president on that point, get other people to pay, 364 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: and then everybody called me, oh please, can we pay? 365 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: And there was never any quid pro quo. The letter 366 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: was beautiful, It was a perfect letter. It was unlike Biden, who, 367 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: by the way, what he said was a horror and 368 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: ask how his son made millions of dollars from Ukraine, 369 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: made millions of dollars from China even though he had 370 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: no expertise whatsoever. Okay, so what he did was a 371 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: real problem with us. There was no pressure applied, no nothing, 372 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: No pressure applied, no nothing. What is the president's What 373 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: is the liability here? What law did he break? What 374 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: did they don't even know? Folks, This is the Democrat 375 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: This is actually a desperation move the Democrats. They sure 376 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: they're lashing out, so at some level it has the 377 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: appearance of putting them on offense, but they don't have 378 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: the goods if they did. And I think I would 379 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: note that what's going to be in that transcript will 380 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: be entirely defensible and perhaps even just a nothing burger. 381 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: But Democrats will say, well, there's a million other reasons 382 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: we impeach them. It doesn't matter. They're impervious to facts. 383 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't matter what 384 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: you present them with. That today it was all about 385 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: this phone call that they don't know what was said, 386 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: but they've heard, you know, through layers and layers. This 387 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: is like the game telephone when you're a kid. They've 388 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: heard through layers of it being passed down that oh, 389 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: something bad happened. But instead of waiting until they know 390 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: they did this, because now that they've gotten impeachment proceedings rolling, 391 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: they'll they'll just shoehorn in whatever they have to about Trump. Okay, 392 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: well this letter wasn't as bad as we thought. But 393 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, Russia collusion and obstruction or okay, you know, 394 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: maybe the pressure campaign that Trump used against the Ukrainian 395 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: president to do something that. Does anyone think that what 396 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: he said is wrong or illegal in any way? Forget 397 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,959 Speaker 1: about illegal? Is it even wrong? Why can't the president 398 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: of the United States tell a Ukrainian counterpart, Hey, I 399 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: really want you to look into some corruption in your 400 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: country by. The prosecutors play this game in America all 401 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: the time. They go after targets that are political targets. 402 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: It happens all the time. Just ask Scott Walker, Chris Christie, 403 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: Rick Perry, Bob McDonnell, Scooter Libby, get down this. This 404 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: happens all the time. And what they always say is, oh, 405 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: but even if there's a political implication, it doesn't mean 406 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: that the underlying investigation is tainted. Oh okay, Well that's 407 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,239 Speaker 1: good to know, but it's also very obviously in some 408 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: cases not true, which then raises the question for us, Well, 409 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: hold on a second, why is it any different here 410 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: with Trump? Why are we in a situation, Why are 411 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: we in a circumstance that, you know, the President of 412 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: the United States isn't allowed to exercise his authority under 413 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: the Constitution to conduct foreign relations because remember it's not 414 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: even Joe Biden, it's remember Joe Biden's family. You know, 415 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: maybe maybe Hunter Biden shouldn't have been a run around 416 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: Ukraine when his dad is the point man for policy 417 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: in Ukraine. I mean, can we step back from this 418 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: for a second. There are one hundred and ninety seven 419 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: countries in the world. I think maybe one hundred ninety five, 420 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: depends on how you count them, but roughly one hundred 421 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: and ninety seven. Okay. Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, when 422 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: he's the vice president, magically gets put on the board 423 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: of a company that is under intense pressure for corruption. 424 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: And there are people with tens, perhaps hundreds of millions 425 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: of dollars at stake, depending on how this corruption investigation 426 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: shakes out, And we are to believe that Hunter Biden, 427 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: the vice president's son, is put on their board because 428 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: he's such a good lawyer, because he understands international deal 429 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: making so well. I mean, he had been a public 430 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: affairs officer and I think it was the Navy and 431 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: didn't last a year because he had a positive cocaine test. 432 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: So why exactly is this guy getting fifty thousand dollars 433 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: a month from Barisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company. Anyone 434 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: want to try to take a guess? Oh, they say, well, 435 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: there's no quid pro quote. First of all, how do 436 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: you know that? We don't know? Could be right? Democrats 437 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: have this standard with Trump at his tax returns. Oh, 438 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: we need to see the tax returns. Federal government already 439 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: has it. Oh we need to see it for ourselves. 440 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: So for them, more investigation is always a legitimate line 441 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: of it. We just need more invest Why are you 442 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: opposed to getting to the truth. We just need more investigation. Okay, well, 443 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: we want more investigation about what was going on when 444 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 1: the vice president saw was getting paid a whole lot 445 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: of money to sit on a board of a company 446 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: that was under a lot of pressure and that was 447 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: at the intersection of US and Ukrainian foreign policy? What 448 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: about that? What about that is so strange or so surprising? 449 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: I would offer you answers nothing, But you know what 450 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: is surprising is that we are supposed to believe that 451 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 1: anyone thinks that we're going to believe that Hunter Biden 452 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: wasn't getting paid off in one way or another. People say, 453 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: there wasn't a quit pro quot. Okay, well, then he 454 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: was an insurance policy. Think about this, if you if 455 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: you're the director of this company, you know, the CEO 456 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: of Barisma, and you can put the vice president's son 457 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: on your board for a cool fifty thousand month, and 458 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: that may mean that you don't go to prison and 459 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: or you don't lose a few hundred million dollars that 460 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: seems like a really good investment, doesn't it. Even if 461 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: you're not sure exactly what he's going to do. You 462 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: got the vice president's son on your board. That buys 463 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: you some credibility. It's an insurance policy. It's the appearance 464 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: of access, it's the appearance of invulnerability. And that's the 465 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: part of this that you have to remember. That's the 466 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: part of this that you can't just let let's slide 467 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: out of you. I've been saying it all along. I mean, 468 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: this is what they do not have an answer for. 469 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: They cannot explain why is it exactly that this is 470 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: going on? Why would Joe Biden's son be on this board? 471 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: Does anyone want to try to take a stab at 472 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: that one? Oh? I guess they don't know. They can't 473 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: figure out the answer to that question. We'll be right back, 474 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 1: All right, team, We are joined by our friend Chadwick 475 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: Moore today on the show.

We also did a fantastic duo speech 478 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: here in New York City a week ago for the 479 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: New York Republicans Club.

And it was a fantastic night 482 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: the other night. Yeah, we rocked a house. That's how 483 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: we roll. So man, speaking of speaking of rock in 484 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: the house, Nancy Pelosi, you see that transition, smooth as silk. 485 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, she's gone full crazy and she's decided that 486 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna go forward with an impeachment inquiry, which means, 487 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: guess what, they are going to impeach this because I 488 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: feel like, now what they're gonna have the inquiry, They're 489 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: not gonna hold an impeachment vote. Come on, yeah, what 490 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: what on earth are they thinking? When we're approaching an 491 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: election year and the Democrats are already branded as they 492 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: do nothing, failed party, going from Russia Gate to a 493 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: quick hot second of impeach Kavanaugh to impeach Trump. Do 494 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: they think this is going to play well in an 495 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: election year? You know? One thing is that you know, 496 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: people say in the mid terms that Republicans didn't turn 497 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: out the Democrats basically, Kate, they exhausted their votes. You 498 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: know that everyone came out in the mid terms and 499 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: they sort of barely made a slight, slight demand says, well, 500 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: if there's anything that's going to get Republicans out to 501 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: the polls in twenty twenty, it's going to be if 502 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: the Democrats try to impeach President Trump. I mean, this 503 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: is just madness. Though in a Pelosi she had this 504 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: kind of rambling. By the way, we're gonna start talking 505 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: about age limits, maybe there needs to be a Speaker 506 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: of the House age limit because Pelosi looked like she was, 507 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, on another plans at some points during her 508 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: speech there. But anyway Pelosi's saying, she talks about the 509 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: founders and then how Trump has undermine our national security? 510 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: How can she say all these things when she does 511 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: not know what happened in this whistleblower complaint at all? 512 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: She does, she has no inside knowledges whatsoever. From what 513 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: we understand. She just reads the newspapers just like the 514 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: rest of us. You're absolutely right, And maybe it's the 515 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. To your earlier point, we should 516 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: call her the sol of the House. That seems that 517 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: whenever she gives a speech, she has no idea what's 518 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: going on. And I believe I just saw Trump said 519 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: he's going to be releasing the full transcripts of the 520 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: phone call with the Ukrainian officials, so that might really 521 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: take the wind out of the sales. Here, they are 522 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: dramatically trying to shift all the focus off of the 523 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: inquiry into Joe Biden, into Hunter Biden when Joe was 524 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: vice president. This is this is a hail Mary for them. 525 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: What have they got? They have absolutely nothing. It's just wild, man. 526 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: I'm assuming. I'm all these democrats were like, there's so 527 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: much to impeach him on. I'm always like, okay, looks 528 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: so much. Let's say, okay, why they're oh my gosh, like, guys, 529 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: come on, it shouldn't be that hard. I thought it 530 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: was Russia. Oh now it's the Ukrainian whistleblower phone call. 531 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: These people are crazy, man, They're just they're just in 532 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: another planet. But you know, we real quick, Chadwick. I 533 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: mean we got to the president was at the u 534 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: N today, and you know, this is a president who 535 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: and this is gonna be a part of the twenty 536 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: twenty narrative. You know that just as well as I do. 537 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: He's constantly called a racist, a homophobe, a big in 538 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: all these different things. Meanwhile, here's what the President said 539 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: today at the United Nations in fun of representatives from 540 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: a lot of countries where there's real homophobia, real bigotry 541 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: in a way that we don't see in this country. 542 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: Play clip. As we defend American values, we affirmed the 543 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: right of all people to live in dignity. For this reason, 544 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: my administration is working with other nations systop criminalizing of homosexuality. 545 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: And we stand in solidarity with lg VTQ people who 546 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: live in countries that punish, jail or execute individuals based 547 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: upon sexual orientation. Chad, does the gay community give the president? 548 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: The LGBTQ community, he seems to have trouble with the acronym, 549 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: but it's a long acronym, you know, But do they 550 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: ever give him any any credit for what is what 551 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: is the moral stand here that other presidents, it seems, 552 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: have been very hesitant to take, which is, it doesn't 553 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: matter what country you're in, you know, you can't imprison 554 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: gays or you know, in some of the Islamic countries, 555 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: throw them off roofs or bury them under rocks, or 556 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: any of these things. That's a horrific human rights violation. 557 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: The President speaking out on this, does he get any 558 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: credit absolutely not. In fact, I was just I just 559 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: now clicked over to the Advocate magazine, my former employer, 560 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: where I used to do most of their big cover stories. 561 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: They have me blocked on Twitter. But their headline about 562 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: the speech on the on the front trade spash is 563 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,719 Speaker 1: a boring un speech proves he uses LGBTQ people LGBTQ 564 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: lives as pawns. Um they have. When this was so, 565 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 1: this initiative, it's seventy one nations where it's currently criminalized 566 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: to be gay. Six of those nations murder homosexuals, and 567 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: the initiative is headed up by Rick Rnelle, our our 568 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: ambassador to Germany, who's openly gay, the highest ever openly 569 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: gay official in uh in the government. And um, you know, 570 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: the approach to this is it's basically seventy one different 571 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: plans for each country, and it involves using leverage in 572 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: trade and and things like this. It's not you know, 573 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: sort of going in and you know it's it's a 574 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: negotiation and it's trade and using leverage. Uh So. But 575 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: the gay media when this was first a noun Um 576 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: Out magazine, which is the other big gay magazine, ran 577 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: a headline thing that the criminalization efforts of homosexuality are 578 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: actually racist. That was in the headline. Um, they don't 579 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: know what to make of this guy, because he's clearly 580 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: not homophobic. He's a New York City Manhattan businessman. Have 581 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: you ever met an actual rich businessman in New York 582 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: who's sincerely homophobic. He's had gay people around him his 583 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: entire life. Obviously, there's plenty of homosexuals dressing Milannia, and 584 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: they give him no credit. They give her no credit 585 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: for how gorgeous she is and her great style. And 586 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: they simply can't because these these organizations and these media sites, 587 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: they're no longer. They don't care about gay people. They 588 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: are not. That's not what they're about anymore. They are 589 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: just another propaganda wing of the Democrat Party and increasingly 590 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: of the far left of the sort of neomarxists in 591 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: academia and in Hollywood and in the media. So that's 592 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 1: that their goal anymore. They don't have anything after gay marriage, especially, 593 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: they were left with nothing else to fight for, you know, 594 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: civil rights were achieved, and instead they've taken on these 595 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: other issues that go well beyond what they're stated purposes. 596 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 1: And it's no more clear than how they treat uh 597 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: these um uh President Trump's uh, the administration's initiatives to 598 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: decriminalizes the President Trump also just partnered with Gilead, the 599 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: pharmaceutical company which produces a drug that prevents HIV infection, 600 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: to give two hundred thousand Americans who are who are 601 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: vulnerable to contracting HIV free access to the drug because 602 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,720 Speaker 1: the drugs about a thousand dollars a month um. Total 603 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: silence on the gay leap, total silence in the gay 604 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: media on that. Um. So he can't win with them. 605 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: But you know it doesn't matter if the advocates claiming 606 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: that that he's using them as hawns. Well, you know, 607 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: LGBT is four percent of the population. Um. Is he 608 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,240 Speaker 1: really vined for those four percent of the boats? Wouldn't 609 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: he do better to pander to evangelicals? No? He Instead, 610 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: he is doing something he believes in and that his ambassador, 611 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: one of his one of his favorite members of the administration, 612 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: also believes in. And he's sharing long with that. He 613 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: did not have to say that in that say that 614 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: in the speech today, and he did. Yeah. And it 615 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: also brings up how the left, the left doesn't know 616 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: how to how to balance its wokeness with predominantly non 617 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: white Muslim countries that are truly and viciously, as a 618 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: matter of law, bigoted against the LGBT community. The Left 619 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: hasn't figured out how to how to make sense of 620 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: that one quite yet. But Chadwick, we got. We gotta 621 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: leave it there for right now. My friend, you guys 622 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: are gonna have Chadwick in for me sometime next month, 623 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: exciting things.

The team, we'll be right back. 628 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,919 Speaker 1: We had another special guest in the lineup today. Team. 629 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: We have Steve More with us now. He is a 630 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, formerly an economic advisor 631 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 1: to President Trump. He's going to talk to us about 632 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: some mineral issues that are national security and economic concerns. Steve. 633 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: Great to have you back on the program. Yeah, thanks 634 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 1: for having me again. By the way, this is a 635 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: huge issue because you know, there is no country in 636 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: the world that has more minerals and more metals and 637 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: have greater mining capacity in the United States, says, and 638 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: we're sitting atop trillions of dollars of these resources. And 639 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: the scandal is that we are not developing our own resources, 640 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: have become totally dependent on foreigners, just like we became 641 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: dependent on foreigners for oil in the nineteen seventies and 642 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: and it wrecked our economy. So I'm very worried about 643 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: this and appreciate that you have beyond to talk about. Well, 644 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: I mean, but tell me you're concerned about it. I 645 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: think a lot of people don't even realize that there's 646 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: any blocks or hurdles in place to mineral mining that 647 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: you're speaking of. What's going on in this country. Well, 648 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: first of all, let's take an example, you know that 649 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: I wrote about this week, which is uranium. You know, 650 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: now people are like, what do we need uranium for? Well, 651 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 1: you need it for your nuclear power plants. You need 652 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 1: it for nuclear energy, and you need it for the military, 653 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: needs it for our nuclear capability. And guess what, we 654 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: don't produce it anymore in the United States. Now we 655 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: get some of it from Canada, but now we're getting 656 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: most of our You're not going to believe this we're 657 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: getting most of our uranium that we need for our 658 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:13,280 Speaker 1: weapons systems from from Russia, China, Kazakhstan and countries like that. 659 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 1: That doesn't seem like a good idea at all. So 660 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: who's blocking this? I would say, not such a good idea. 661 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: You have to be dependent on, you know, onfrontly nations. 662 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: And so this is a crisis and we need we 663 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: need to remove some of the barriers. And by the way, 664 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 1: people are wondering how did this happen, because you know, 665 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: we've been doing copper mining, coal mining, goal mining, the 666 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: uranian mining for decades and decades in this country out 667 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 1: west and states from Colorado to California to Montana to 668 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: Utah and Wyoming. And it's brought to help mostly because 669 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: these environmental rules and environmentalists and basically shut down our 670 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: mining capacity. And most of these minerals, by the way, 671 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: are underneath federal lands. So I estimate we could raise 672 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,919 Speaker 1: several trillion dollars of royalties, you know, to help pay 673 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: down our national debt if we if we got the 674 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: mining capacity back up. And so it's a win win 675 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: for the economy, for these private workers, for the mining 676 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 1: workers and to and for our national security. But Steven, 677 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, uranium obviously gets a lot 678 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: of attention because of uranium one. But is there any 679 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: eat is there? Right? This is an example of really 680 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: what you're talking about, which is, you know, the Russians 681 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: buying into a company that has an outsized role and 682 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,359 Speaker 1: uranium production at the US is dependent on But who 683 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: does anyone really is this an environmentalist issue? I mean, 684 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: who's saying let's not get our stuff from our own soil. 685 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: If we're sitting at top it, it seems like a 686 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: good idea to get after it. Well, So what the 687 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: story here with respect of most of our mining capacity 688 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: has been to the environmentalists have just made it almost 689 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: impossible to open up new mines in the United States. 690 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: And by the way, most of these other countries that 691 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: we do get minerals from, including these Asian countries, they 692 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,439 Speaker 1: don't have any environmental standards at all. So it's worse 693 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: for the environment to be getting them from you know, 694 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 1: China and countries like that then producing it here at home. 695 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: But with respect to uranium, what's happening is the Russians 696 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: are just dumping this stuff on the market in order 697 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: to put our uranium producers out of business, shut down 698 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: our mind, so we're totally dependent. Um, you know, this 699 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 1: is the old Soviet Union we're talking about, you know, 700 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it is I think you used 701 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: it insane. It is insane. I mean, it doesn't make 702 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: any sense. And now Donald Trump has to, my opinion, 703 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: issue an executive order to you know, reinstate our mining 704 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: capabilities in the United States so we can be you know, 705 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,320 Speaker 1: what are the most resource rich world country in the world, 706 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,399 Speaker 1: and think about all the jobs that we could be 707 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: painting with these mining operations that have been shut down. 708 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: So it's it's important. I'm so glad you're covering because 709 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 1: it's important issue for our economy and for our national security. 710 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: Stephen can't let you go without asking you, with people 711 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: listening across the country, how do you think the economy 712 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: is going to shake out in the last year of 713 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 1: Trump's first term? Here? What are your what are the 714 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: man a growth thoughts that you can give us on China, trade, 715 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: the market, and just how things are going to go. Well, 716 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: first of all, we got the best economy we've got, 717 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, in any decades. And if you're a worker, 718 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: you know this is the best decade and you're in 719 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,399 Speaker 1: my lifetime and in fifty years at the lowest unemployment rate, 720 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 1: the rising wages, We've got the lowest Black unemployment and 721 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: Hispanic unemployment rate. We've got you know, lowest interest rates, 722 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 1: lower inflation rate, the seven million surplus jobs. So this 723 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: is a blockbuster economy, and liberals are twisted into a 724 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,479 Speaker 1: pressl to figure out how to explain why Donald Trump 725 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: has created this great economy. Now, the thing that worries 726 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,799 Speaker 1: me is this China trade dispute. I want to see, 727 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: like how US support Trump on this because I think 728 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: we're in an abusive relationship with China. But I'm sure 729 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 1: we'd love to see China make some concessions here. Let's 730 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: get let's get this thing done, because when that happens, 731 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 1: you know we're going to have the best economy ever 732 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: in twenty and twenty. But you know, the balls in 733 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: basing squared on that one. What's it going to take 734 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: for China to finally bend on this? Well, there are 735 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: economy is getting creamed. These these you know, terrorists are 736 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,439 Speaker 1: killing the Chinese account. But they may have their first 737 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: recession in thirty five years. We just have to keep 738 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: the pressure on. You know, you know the problem these 739 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: Chinese dictators, they don't face the voters like Donald Trump 740 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: has to face the voters. So you know, we're worried 741 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: that they're just gonna try to wait him out. Because 742 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 1: you know this, and I know it, and everybody listened 743 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 1: to the show knows the Chinese with much of that 744 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden as president than Donald Trump. I think 745 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: that's true. Stephen Moore, everybody senior felt the Heritage Foundation. Stephen, 746 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: good luck to you. Thank you as always for joining us, 747 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: and we will talk to you soon. Thank you for 748 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: take care. Yeah, you know I've said it before the change. 749 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 1: If you look back at what libs were saying ten 750 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: or fifteen years ago about fracking and energy in this country, 751 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 1: thank god we didn't listen to them. America has, despite 752 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: all efforts by the left, turned into an energy superpower. 753 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 1: Maybe we should embrace being a rare earths and minerals 754 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: superpower as well. I'm just putting it out there. I 755 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: think that might be something that we could we could 756 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: get going. Stephens certainly think so. The future does not 757 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 1: belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots. The future 758 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 1: belongs to sovereign and independent nations who protect their citizens, 759 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: respect their neighbors, and honor the differences that make each 760 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 1: country special. Globalism exerted a religious pull over past leaders, 761 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 1: causing them to ignore their own national interests. But as 762 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 1: far as America is concerned, those days are over. The globalists, 763 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 1: the globalist the humanati to build the burghs, google it, 764 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 1: they're out there. I'm just kidding. We're talking real globalists now, 765 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 1: not the conspiracy theory based globalists. I mean, I guess 766 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 1: you can use the term and be in either camp, 767 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 1: but I'm talking about the real globalists in the United Nations, 768 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 1: International Monetary fund, elite media. I mean, all you have 769 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 1: to know about CNN, for example, is you know, when 770 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: you're sitting in a hotel room in Beijing, as I 771 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 1: was not long ago, and CNN pops up, you realize, 772 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: oh wow, they really do think of themselves as citizens 773 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 1: of the world. CNN the citizens of the world network. 774 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 1: They're not I mean, they're not about patriotism. They're not 775 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: about America's better than other countries in certain ways. That's 776 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 1: not something I really want to discuss. That's not something 777 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 1: that they factor into their worldview, and in fact, what 778 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: I saw was a lot of down talking America, a 779 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 1: lot of putting America down, a lot of saying that, 780 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, America is maybe not such a great place 781 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 1: after all, especially in the era of Trump. You know, 782 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: it's like we've been it's like we've been hijacked by 783 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 1: this guy, President Trump. This country is no longer the 784 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 1: great shining city on a hill at once was. But 785 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: we know that's all nonsense. I like that President Trump 786 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 1: was willing to go in the United Nations and speak 787 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 1: on this matter because it is very important. It's easy 788 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 1: to forget that President Trump came into office at a 789 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 1: time when there was a trend back toward a nation 790 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 1: States government thinking about that nation state before it considered 791 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: international opinion or the global consensus, as I'm quite fond 792 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,319 Speaker 1: of pointing out, because you will hear pundits go on TV. 793 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 1: You'll hear people that will refer to international opinion says, 794 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,360 Speaker 1: what does that mean? Are we just looking at a 795 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 1: number of developed world governments or all governments? It seems 796 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 1: a bit exclusionary, doesn't it to just look at the 797 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 1: developed world and their governments and take their opinions into account. 798 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: You know, should we listen to oh, I don't know 799 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 1: the Philippines quite the same way that we listen to 800 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: the UK. And are we allowed to have some countries 801 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: that matter more to us in terms of our opinions 802 00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 1: about policy than others, or do we just treat every 803 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 1: country like it's more or less the same? This is 804 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 1: a fantasy, I mean, you know the answer to this. 805 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,920 Speaker 1: Of course, every administration is going to have some countries 806 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 1: that matter more than others, and there will be times 807 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,919 Speaker 1: when we have to or we should. I mean to say, 808 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: when our own government puts the interests of our citizens 809 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,399 Speaker 1: ahead of citizens from other countries. It's not always win 810 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 1: win for everybody. Trump understands that very basic calculation, and 811 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:35,840 Speaker 1: I would offer to you that that's true of most 812 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,880 Speaker 1: of the other countries of the world. The only exceptions 813 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:42,839 Speaker 1: are some EU countries, but that's changing. Obviously, there's been 814 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,319 Speaker 1: a shift. I think, you know, they created a monetary 815 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 1: union without really creating a fully formed political union, which 816 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 1: is why you have all this tumult all of this, 817 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,839 Speaker 1: all this concern about Brexit. What's going to come after this? 818 00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:00,240 Speaker 1: There has been a resurgence of debate around the term 819 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 1: nationalism itself. You know, you can use the term patriotism, 820 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 1: but I think it has been so broadly, it's so 821 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 1: broadly applied, right, it's just, oh yeah, patriotism is is 822 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 1: the fourth of July barbecuing a stake, waving an American flag? Okay, yes, sure, 823 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: But isn't patriotism also saying the United States is going 824 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,520 Speaker 1: to have to stand up to Chinese trade aggression and 825 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,880 Speaker 1: unfair practices and theft, even if that hurts the Chinese 826 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 1: economy and therefore the Chinese people. Isn't that something that 827 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 1: we need to accept. Shouldn't our government take the position 828 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 1: that its first obligation is to us, you know, and 829 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,239 Speaker 1: if you come from a perspective that I do. And 830 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure pretty much all of you listening, except for 831 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,920 Speaker 1: perhaps the few media matters lunatics who are just waiting 832 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,879 Speaker 1: for me to say one bad thing. Oh that's Sexton guy. 833 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: He's going to slip up one day. Oh, And to 834 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,879 Speaker 1: media matters, I just want to want to say preemptively, 835 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: my audience knows who I am, and they know this show, 836 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,399 Speaker 1: and they know what I stand for. So you can 837 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: wait and wait and eventually pounce. But it's going to 838 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 1: take a whole heck of a lot to get the 839 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 1: buckster to be quiet. But on the globalist point, there's 840 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 1: a real trend there has been for a long time 841 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 1: of our especially among the Democratic Party, but it's true 842 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 1: of a lot of Republicans too, our interests being put 843 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: into this that of all these different global international considerations. Right. 844 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:40,319 Speaker 1: You hear about people discussing UN resolutions as though they're 845 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,920 Speaker 1: binding on us UN resolutions, as though we're supposed to 846 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 1: really care, especially when we don't even sign them or 847 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,759 Speaker 1: tell them straight up, sorry, not a part of that. 848 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 1: The International Criminal Court another situation. We're not a signatory 849 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:57,480 Speaker 1: to it, right, because we're not going to allow for 850 00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 1: the governments of the rest of the world to tell 851 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: us that some general or you know, it's not a 852 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 1: far stretch. I think member of our administration who has 853 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,360 Speaker 1: to conduct a war to defend our interests, to defend 854 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,799 Speaker 1: this country is a war criminal. Sorry, we'll handle that 855 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 1: one ourselves. But this is a break you see from 856 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,920 Speaker 1: elite consensus opinion, and that's one of the reasons that 857 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 1: they hate Trump so much. You have to remember it 858 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 1: is not really Trump's policies that get libs the most agitated. 859 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that's certainly there's some of that. But as 860 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 1: we were discussing with my friend Chadwick Moore before, if 861 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: it were policy based, when Trump did things that they like, 862 00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't it then be the case that they would say, well, 863 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 1: at least he's doing the right thing. No, they hate 864 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,799 Speaker 1: everything he does. Right, everything Trump does is literally worse 865 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 1: than Hitler. Right. What doesn't matter what it is, and 866 00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 1: that's because Trump also represents to them a repudiation his 867 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,880 Speaker 1: mere existence as president and the ideas that he espouses, 868 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 1: whether he's picked them up from other people or not, 869 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,279 Speaker 1: whether they're new for him or not, doesn't matter. What 870 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:12,960 Speaker 1: he stands for is a different approach between America and 871 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: the rest of the world. Now, I think it's the 872 00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,480 Speaker 1: right approach, but it is a break from, for example, 873 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 1: what you would have with establishment Republicans stretching back to 874 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 1: multiple Bush administrations, and you would have to look at 875 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,799 Speaker 1: the way and then once you start taking a far enough, 876 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 1: far enough view, a long enough lens. Yeah, Well, the 877 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,240 Speaker 1: world has also changed a lot. We've seen We've learned 878 00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 1: a lot in the last thirty years about how America. 879 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 1: I'd like to think we've learned a lot about how 880 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 1: America interacts with our trading partners on national security concerns, 881 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: who's an ally, who's a friend, who's a foe. So 882 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 1: there should be a constant updating of this with only 883 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 1: certain core principles put in place. But Trump changes the 884 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:58,359 Speaker 1: core principles. And this is what really upsets them so much. 885 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,360 Speaker 1: He's not just making different decisions. It's not just policy, 886 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 1: it's no no a at a very foundational level. As 887 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: president of the United States, Trump will look at what's 888 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,719 Speaker 1: going on and say, this is better for the American 889 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,480 Speaker 1: people than it is for some other country or some 890 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,840 Speaker 1: other group outside of our borders, and therefore it is 891 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 1: my obligation to pursue this irrespective of what other governments 892 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:30,439 Speaker 1: may want or think. That is a major break from 893 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,080 Speaker 1: what had been an elite consensus for a long time. 894 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,080 Speaker 1: And people don't like to think that one they're ever wrong, 895 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,600 Speaker 1: and they certainly don't like to think that they're not 896 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,799 Speaker 1: going to get their way again in the future. So 897 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,680 Speaker 1: the ideas on the world stage that Trump represents and 898 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 1: that he is articulating at the United Agents, and I'm 899 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 1: not gonna lie the speech today was boring. I mean, 900 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,840 Speaker 1: it was a pretty boring speech. I'm just telling you 901 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,840 Speaker 1: the truth it was. I think the Trump does that 902 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 1: because he's like, all right, I'm at the un I'm 903 00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 1: going to say my piece, and that's that. You know. 904 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 1: I think that's it. I believe that Trump really does, 905 00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:05,919 Speaker 1: you know, He's like, all right, you know, we gotta 906 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,879 Speaker 1: do this thing. But there were some areas where he 907 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 1: made you know, he made some worthwhile comments that elucidate 908 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 1: that illuminates some of his thinking about well, not just 909 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 1: on the world stage, but also the way that he 910 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:25,880 Speaker 1: approaches all matters as president, and all of it is 911 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 1: of course a grave insult. Liberals consider all of this 912 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 1: to be a grave insult. It upsets them to their 913 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 1: core because ultimately, if you're a true collectivist and now 914 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,920 Speaker 1: I know, I'm digging into the philosophy here maybe a 915 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,360 Speaker 1: little maybe a little more than one showed on a 916 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,400 Speaker 1: syndicated radio show. But I feel like, you guys are 917 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,600 Speaker 1: cool that I could just sit here and be like, 918 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, the country is destroyed and we're all 919 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,760 Speaker 1: on fire, and you know, there's other there's other shows 920 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 1: you can listen to for that. Hopefully you won't because 921 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 1: the show is way better. But when you look at 922 00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 1: the underlying philosophy here of the left. Why are they globalists? Well, 923 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,879 Speaker 1: they're globalist because there are collectivists. And what could be 924 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 1: the more, the more ultimate collective than a one world government. 925 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,640 Speaker 1: You know, the United Nations, the League of Nations. Go 926 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:14,879 Speaker 1: back to Woodrow Wilson. Look at how they've tried to 927 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 1: create a system of interlocking regimes and status quo all 928 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 1: around the world that will become over time one not 929 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,600 Speaker 1: that places will have their sovereignty and we can communicate 930 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,759 Speaker 1: and be allies and have a more prosperous and just 931 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,759 Speaker 1: and happy world. We all want that. No, No, this 932 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 1: is different. This is one rule for all, one regime 933 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,759 Speaker 1: that is effectively a super government. If you are a collectivist, 934 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,799 Speaker 1: if you believe here at home in America, and I 935 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 1: know you're not, But if one were a collectivist and 936 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 1: believed that the government should achieve whatever power it requires 937 00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 1: to do anything that it believes it should do. Well, 938 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 1: if you think that here at home, where it affects 939 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 1: your fellows, shouldn't you think that for the whole world. 940 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 1: If one is so certain here in America that taking 941 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:10,440 Speaker 1: the power that the collectivist that the socialists left in 942 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,280 Speaker 1: America wants for itself if they're sure that that is righteous, 943 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 1: that that's the right thing to do in America, which clearly, 944 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,840 Speaker 1: given the trends of the Democratic Party is the case, 945 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,239 Speaker 1: then wouldn't they want to expand that to the whole 946 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,920 Speaker 1: world as rapidly as possible they're so certain of the 947 00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 1: of the You know, there's there's a few defining characteristics 948 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 1: of liberalism today. I always say hypocrisy is one. Another 949 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 1: one is certainty, certainty on issues where they would be 950 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 1: much better served by tremendous humility. But humility requires introspection, 951 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,760 Speaker 1: and introspectrum requires honesty, and that is certainly in short 952 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:50,760 Speaker 1: supply in the Democratic Party. A collectivist in a village, 953 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:52,880 Speaker 1: in a town, is a collectivist in a city, is 954 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,400 Speaker 1: a collectivist in a country, as a collectivist at the 955 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:59,840 Speaker 1: United Nations, for the entire world, Trump is a threat 956 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:04,920 Speaker 1: to those layers of government control, and they hate him 957 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,520 Speaker 1: for that. They don't even get into the specifics of 958 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:19,200 Speaker 1: what he says. He's back with you now, because when 959 00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,640 Speaker 1: it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. 960 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:29,880 Speaker 1: It's happening. I've been telling you for a while that 961 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,400 Speaker 1: Biden's not going to be the nominee, and every Democrat 962 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 1: I say that too, looks me like, no, don't say 963 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:40,800 Speaker 1: that Biden would trounce Trump. They don't use alliteration like that. 964 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,319 Speaker 1: Let's be honest. They're like, yeah, he beat him. I'm like, 965 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:47,359 Speaker 1: all right, democrat whatever, it's the imaginary democrat I'm talking to. Yeah, 966 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 1: he'd take what did what did Biden say? I'd beat 967 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:55,640 Speaker 1: him like a drum That's like, you know, I could 968 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,959 Speaker 1: just picture Biden, you know, chasing after chasing some kids 969 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 1: off his law and wearing you know, a really a 970 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,400 Speaker 1: really tattered robe, you know, waving a newspaper. You know, 971 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:10,680 Speaker 1: you kids come back here. I'll lamb based you. Is 972 00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 1: it lambossed or lamb based number two? Right? Lamb based? Right? Yeah? Yeah, 973 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 1: is it lamboss tera? No, it's lamb based, I believe 974 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 1: is the say the problem when you learn words by 975 00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,720 Speaker 1: reading them, but sometimes you don't realize until you say 976 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,400 Speaker 1: it out loud on a national radio show that you're 977 00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 1: not sure you're saying it the right way. Um. So 978 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 1: we've had we've had a few of those here Brandon 979 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,920 Speaker 1: on the show. Although it's just more just more evidence 980 00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 1: that I used to use those word flash cards a 981 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 1: lot back in the day, so so Biden said he'll 982 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,840 Speaker 1: beat Trump like a drum, which that's fighting, fighting Joe 983 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 1: Biden as opposed to sleepy Joe Biden. But Elizabeth Warren, 984 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 1: who really is like the terminator in that it doesn't 985 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: matter how embarrassed she should be, or what has happened 986 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:59,400 Speaker 1: to or anything else. She just decides that she's gonna 987 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:03,280 Speaker 1: keep on going. You just you cannot what's I wish? 988 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 1: I can't remember at the top of I have, but 989 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,920 Speaker 1: it's Kyle Reese and Termator one. You know, it does 990 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:11,320 Speaker 1: not feel paid or remorse, and it absolutely will not 991 00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,520 Speaker 1: stop until she is president. It's kind of like that. 992 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,240 Speaker 1: It's a little bit like Termator one, except it's Elizabeth Warren. 993 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:21,960 Speaker 1: And you know, I could probably make some jokes here 994 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,800 Speaker 1: about you know, her being a fake Cherokee and all that, 995 00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,600 Speaker 1: but you gotta be careful that you can do those 996 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 1: in real time. You know, Oh, they're still still lines 997 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,120 Speaker 1: you can cross. And Media Matters is out there somewhere 998 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:34,400 Speaker 1: the worst and I know a lot of you like, 999 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: what does media Matters? Imagine an organization that claims that 1000 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:41,240 Speaker 1: it's a nonprofit education or an education group, and all 1001 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,240 Speaker 1: it does is pay people to try and find ways 1002 00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:48,600 Speaker 1: to even not even just catch conservatives saying something that 1003 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,400 Speaker 1: they didn't mean too or that was dumb. Sometimes we 1004 00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 1: say dumb things. Everyone sometimes says dumb things, but that 1005 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 1: they'll even twist it. And then their whole purpose in 1006 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,800 Speaker 1: life is to make as much noise about it as possible, 1007 00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,880 Speaker 1: to try to get people fired. That's all they do. 1008 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,160 Speaker 1: That's their job. Every day. I would not be able 1009 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,080 Speaker 1: to sleep at night. I would rather do any minimum 1010 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,800 Speaker 1: wage job in the country, and I mean that any 1011 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,800 Speaker 1: minimum wage job, because it would be honorable. Media manners 1012 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:17,080 Speaker 1: is not honorable. Sorry, they've been going after people, including yours, 1013 00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 1: truly for the whole gret Gret Greta tun Tunberg and 1014 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:23,240 Speaker 1: might say, I feel like I'm trying too hard to 1015 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,600 Speaker 1: say it the Swedish way. Maybe it's just a Thunberg. 1016 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:31,440 Speaker 1: A Thunberg get over here, you know, But Greta Tronberg, 1017 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,840 Speaker 1: I like this. I got to work on my Swedish accent. 1018 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,760 Speaker 1: It's not particularly good, um, except for I I want to 1019 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:38,920 Speaker 1: do the Swedish chef, which some of you like and 1020 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,720 Speaker 1: some of you you know, producer brand and I will 1021 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 1: tell you that there are you know, there's some things 1022 00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,160 Speaker 1: where the audience is very split. Right, there are some 1023 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 1: things they really like and there there are others where 1024 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:52,760 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear, um, Swedish chef is like is like 1025 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: a fifty fifty proposition. They're not for Rugert Ugert or 1026 00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, they're like, no, no no, something like the Swedish chef. 1027 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:00,760 Speaker 1: They think my version of the Swedish chef is not 1028 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 1: not prime timeworthy. I feel like it all sounds the same. 1029 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Thank you, exactly. That's an impression you really can mess 1030 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:12,720 Speaker 1: up exactly Spurg you know. Anyway, So all right, back 1031 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,040 Speaker 1: to Warren. Who's who's I think? Can we just say 1032 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,240 Speaker 1: the Warren impression is going to become the Hillary impression, 1033 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:21,440 Speaker 1: So I'll give it to her. Hello, she's back, right, 1034 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,760 Speaker 1: I mean, Warren and Hillary, there's a lot of and 1035 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:25,840 Speaker 1: people don't don't tell me, oh, you're just saying that 1036 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,920 Speaker 1: because no, no, there there really are some similar you know, 1037 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:33,880 Speaker 1: both white women of the same age with similar hair, 1038 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 1: and you know, there's there's some similarities there. You know. 1039 01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 1: It's like when when a random cab driver thinks that 1040 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,400 Speaker 1: I'm Tucker Carlson, I'm like, yes, indeed, I can see 1041 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,600 Speaker 1: the similarity there. Although I have facial hair now a 1042 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,080 Speaker 1: little bit, A little bit, all right. So Warren is 1043 01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 1: edging out Biden in the latest New Hampshire poll and 1044 01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is way down in the latest New Hampshire poll. 1045 01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,120 Speaker 1: Which is looking at this and trying to do a 1046 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:02,560 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of reading that tea leaves. I 1047 01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 1: try not to spend that much of our time on 1048 01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 1: the speculation. I feel like the news these days, a 1049 01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,440 Speaker 1: lot of shows. It's one thing to analyze, it's another 1050 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,360 Speaker 1: thing to just speculated, well, this goold. I'm not saying predictions, 1051 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,400 Speaker 1: which I tend to do on very small doses, and 1052 01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,680 Speaker 1: my predictions tend to be right. I'm just saying, but 1053 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. You know, you can never get 1054 01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,560 Speaker 1: into bit of speculation. Sometimes you're forced to write, like 1055 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: the Democrats tomorrow, here's some speculation for you. The Democrats tomorrow, 1056 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:33,520 Speaker 1: regardless of what is in the transcript, will claim that 1057 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 1: it's terrible and now Trump really needs to be impeached. 1058 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,400 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what it says, even if anyone reading it 1059 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,960 Speaker 1: would say, yeah, this seems pretty normal, actually, or this 1060 01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:44,240 Speaker 1: seems not that bad. I'm telling you, I think it's 1061 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,760 Speaker 1: going to be a Yeah, it's not that bad. It's 1062 01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 1: not gonna be great, but it's not that bad. That's 1063 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 1: what I think. And Democrats are gonna say, oh my gosh, 1064 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:57,720 Speaker 1: he's Benedict Arnold plus Hitler. That's that would be a bad, 1065 01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 1: bad dude, you know. And Arnold, that guy rolled the dice, 1066 01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,760 Speaker 1: came up snake eyes. Not good, not good. He could 1067 01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 1: have been he could have been a hero for the Brits. 1068 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 1: We'd be living in uh you know, the Benedict Arnold, 1069 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,160 Speaker 1: Sure Shire, you know what I mean. You know they 1070 01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:19,320 Speaker 1: would have no But he messed up. Wrong side a man, 1071 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,240 Speaker 1: wrong side wrong tell you would be on the wrong 1072 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 1: side of history. That guy, other than Judas, the most 1073 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,360 Speaker 1: infamous traitor in all history. I think people would say brutus, 1074 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:29,960 Speaker 1: But I say, no, Brutus thought that he was a 1075 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,800 Speaker 1: patriot at a time when that was a very complicated matter. 1076 01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:39,360 Speaker 1: At two brute Brutus. Okay, So Warren, how do we 1077 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,680 Speaker 1: get into ancient Rome? Who knows, it's one of those days. 1078 01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm taking some cold meds. We're just gonna have to 1079 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:48,200 Speaker 1: roll with it. Warren is at twenty seven percent among 1080 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:53,640 Speaker 1: likely Democratic presidential primary voters in the state of New Hampshire. Okay, 1081 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,200 Speaker 1: so she's doing very well. Biden's at twenty five percent, 1082 01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:58,520 Speaker 1: Warren's two point edges well within the sampling arrow. Okay, 1083 01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,920 Speaker 1: so they're neck and neck. Here's a question I have 1084 01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,760 Speaker 1: for you. What is the what is the pitch for 1085 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,440 Speaker 1: one over the other? These days when the Democrats line up, 1086 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 1: it feels like it's really just a contest for individual 1087 01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:16,439 Speaker 1: affinity for a politician. I can't even really tell you. Yeah, 1088 01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:21,360 Speaker 1: we know that Warren and Bernie are left of Biden, 1089 01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 1: but Biden's chasing their positions as fast as he can. 1090 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,080 Speaker 1: Biden was saying, yeah, if you're if you're if you're 1091 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,720 Speaker 1: in prison and you think you're you know, you think 1092 01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,400 Speaker 1: you're a transgender, you know you'll be in that. You know. 1093 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:37,480 Speaker 1: He's trying to do the whole woke thing. Who has 1094 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 1: better ideas? And I really mean, just swim in the 1095 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 1: in the in the sewage here with me for a moment. Okay, 1096 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,360 Speaker 1: think about Democrat ideas. Let's just let's just do this. 1097 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,360 Speaker 1: Who is a Who is a better play for the 1098 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,880 Speaker 1: Democrats on the economy. Who's the best play for Democrats 1099 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 1: in the economy. I'm not even sure they know, first 1100 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 1: of all, it's largely similar stuff, right, It's they don't 1101 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,720 Speaker 1: disagree all that much. But one problem they're going to 1102 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 1: have is that they love to do the class warfare angle. 1103 01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 1: You know this, Democrats are obsessed with pushing class warfare. 1104 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,880 Speaker 1: This is really central to their sense of you know, 1105 01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,360 Speaker 1: why the Democratic Party exists, Oh, to soak the rich 1106 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 1: and tano power to the people, all that stuff. All right, 1107 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,360 Speaker 1: So what's the pitch? What are they going to do 1108 01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,320 Speaker 1: for the people? Now? You've got you know, every what 1109 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,800 Speaker 1: we had Steve Moore on before, and he's just saying 1110 01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:32,360 Speaker 1: what we already know. The economy is, this is the 1111 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,760 Speaker 1: best economy that we've had in this country since at 1112 01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:36,440 Speaker 1: least the nineties, and a lot of you would say 1113 01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 1: it's a lot better than the nineties, depending on which 1114 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:42,439 Speaker 1: metrics you look at. So you could very easily argue 1115 01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,520 Speaker 1: it's the best economy in my adult lifetime. So what 1116 01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,200 Speaker 1: are Democrats going to say about it? How can they differentiate? 1117 01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:50,840 Speaker 1: Because anyone can sit around and be like, oh, the 1118 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,880 Speaker 1: rich will pay for everything. Okay, they all say that 1119 01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:58,520 Speaker 1: it's not true. Well, here's here's some versions of it 1120 01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:03,720 Speaker 1: we've gotten from a mayor Pete was in Iowa. I 1121 01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:07,000 Speaker 1: will tell you I am I am disappointed. Even from 1122 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,120 Speaker 1: the other side of the aisle, I am disappointed in 1123 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: Mayor Pete. You know, I've been out to Fort Wayne, 1124 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 1: Indiana twice in the last two years. What's up? Whoa, whoa. 1125 01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,480 Speaker 1: I've come out there to visit the folks love Fort Wayne, Indiana, 1126 01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:23,280 Speaker 1: a wonderful people, wonderful place. And I was told both 1127 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,280 Speaker 1: times watch out for that Mayor Pete guy. And I said, 1128 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,760 Speaker 1: mayor who. I was like, who's Mayor Pete? Oh, the 1129 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:30,880 Speaker 1: mayor of South Bend, Indiana. I was told two years 1130 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:32,800 Speaker 1: ago he was going to run for president. And I 1131 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,680 Speaker 1: was like, come on, the mayor of no no, no offense, 1132 01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,640 Speaker 1: South Bend. But I mean, you're not four Wayne, you know, 1133 01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:43,080 Speaker 1: I mean come on. So I was like, who is 1134 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,360 Speaker 1: this guy? And then I saw his resume. I figured 1135 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:49,600 Speaker 1: this has to be a person who is is real. 1136 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 1: You know, maybe he's a liberal, but he's a reasonable liberal. 1137 01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 1: You know. He's Who's the guy that I can't even 1138 01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:56,400 Speaker 1: remember his name? Now, that's how much of an impression 1139 01:05:56,440 --> 01:06:01,320 Speaker 1: he made. The congressman from Maryland who was a self 1140 01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:05,160 Speaker 1: made millionaire. You know, he's I'm sorry, guys, I'm blanking 1141 01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:07,439 Speaker 1: on his name, which is crazy because I've talked about 1142 01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,280 Speaker 1: him many times on the show. But you know, he's 1143 01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,680 Speaker 1: wrong on some stuff, but he's not wrong on everything. 1144 01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 1: And I thought may Or Pete would be a little 1145 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,080 Speaker 1: bit more like that, and I was wrong. May Or 1146 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,360 Speaker 1: Pete loves to lecture everybody on how the Bible supports 1147 01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:26,920 Speaker 1: the party of you know, infanticide. Okay, so start with that. Yeah, 1148 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:28,480 Speaker 1: I think may Or Peatch should be a little more 1149 01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:32,560 Speaker 1: cautious about the Pope Pete routine. But even on the economy, 1150 01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:36,640 Speaker 1: on healthcare, I think that he falls into that very 1151 01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:43,960 Speaker 1: unseemly category of politician who's smarter, who knows better, but 1152 01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,760 Speaker 1: just will say what he has to say because that's 1153 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:51,120 Speaker 1: what he's been told he has to say. Here he 1154 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:55,400 Speaker 1: is talking about the economy right now, and I meet 1155 01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,920 Speaker 1: so many folks who have talked about the ways in 1156 01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,840 Speaker 1: which are political and that can systems have led them down. 1157 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 1: We see it in the fact that the Dow Jones 1158 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,840 Speaker 1: is going up and our life expectancies are getting shorter 1159 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,720 Speaker 1: at the same time. It shouldn't be possible. I mean, 1160 01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:17,440 Speaker 1: the life expectancy getting shorter is generally a result of 1161 01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:24,760 Speaker 1: two things. One is lifestyle diseases, Okay, which is the 1162 01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,280 Speaker 1: number one the number one killer really out there to 1163 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:31,720 Speaker 1: look at heart disease, diabetes and some cancers that are 1164 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:36,040 Speaker 1: related to not always but related to lifestyle smoking specifically, 1165 01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:42,439 Speaker 1: and the opioid crisis. Those aren't really economic matters, though, 1166 01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 1: so it seems strange he would go in that direction. 1167 01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:50,040 Speaker 1: But here's the problem the Democrats have. What is their 1168 01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 1: pitch on the economy, What exactly are they gonna do better? 1169 01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 1: They go back and forth. A year ago was oh, 1170 01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:03,560 Speaker 1: but it's the Obama economy. Nope, Obama's not president anymore. 1171 01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:07,440 Speaker 1: We have we've gone way past that. And no serious 1172 01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:09,680 Speaker 1: person thinks that if we were in a recession, which 1173 01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,800 Speaker 1: Democrats promised we would be in because Trump is president, 1174 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 1: nobody really thinks that they wouldn't the same Democrats wouldn't 1175 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:17,879 Speaker 1: be saying, oh, look what Trump has done to the economy. 1176 01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:21,640 Speaker 1: He's destroyed it. So it's just disingenuous. But I will say, 1177 01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:25,439 Speaker 1: at least Mayor Pete tried something of an answer on 1178 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,599 Speaker 1: this one. He's trying to differentiate himself from the other 1179 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,040 Speaker 1: Democratic candidates. He here's the answer you get when you 1180 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:36,320 Speaker 1: ask a question of Joe Biden. Well, in Iowa, the 1181 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 1: unemployment rate is two and a half percent. People say 1182 01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,120 Speaker 1: they are employed in Iowa and their small businesses are 1183 01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:48,599 Speaker 1: growing before they're employed. Before he got elected, the president 1184 01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,080 Speaker 1: won by ten percentage points. And I'm not suggested he 1185 01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,880 Speaker 1: didn't win by ten percent points. Well, I'm suggesting is 1186 01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:55,960 Speaker 1: he's not the reason for that employment rate being down. 1187 01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,599 Speaker 1: But why shouldn't people want to make a change though, Well, 1188 01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:02,320 Speaker 1: that's up to the end of decide. Why should they? 1189 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,840 Speaker 1: From them to the sign will make your case, I'm 1190 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:10,880 Speaker 1: not going to. Yeah, that's some really compelling stuff there. 1191 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:15,120 Speaker 1: I'm not going to. Now. You could say that that's 1192 01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:19,400 Speaker 1: just another one of Biden's many weak moments. He's had 1193 01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 1: many weak moments in the campaign trail. But I do 1194 01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:27,680 Speaker 1: think that there's a sneaking thought, a sneaking suspicion that 1195 01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,080 Speaker 1: Biden has that maybe he realizes that it's I think 1196 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,280 Speaker 1: he has started to realize it's not going to be him, 1197 01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 1: and that he doesn't even really want the job. You know, 1198 01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:38,599 Speaker 1: they used to say this about Trump all the time, 1199 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 1: and now that he's been president for fe years, I 1200 01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:43,000 Speaker 1: think Trump loves being president. I think he's really into 1201 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:46,000 Speaker 1: it from what I can see. I don't know if 1202 01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,240 Speaker 1: Malania likes that she's now the first Lady or not. 1203 01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:51,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't pretend to know, but I think Trump likes 1204 01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 1: being president. I'm not sure that Biden even thinks that 1205 01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,960 Speaker 1: he's really up for this. And I think that if 1206 01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:02,200 Speaker 1: you give, if you have a moment, and this is 1207 01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,799 Speaker 1: what I'm beginning to see with Warren in New Hampshire, 1208 01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,000 Speaker 1: where all of a sudden he's fought the good fight, 1209 01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,600 Speaker 1: but it's clear that there's another option, there's an alternative 1210 01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,200 Speaker 1: to him. I think he would pass the baton. As 1211 01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,879 Speaker 1: much as he's an egomaniac, which really everybody in politics 1212 01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 1: at that level has to be, I get it, but 1213 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:20,920 Speaker 1: I think that if there was a moment where all 1214 01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:22,719 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's going to be Warren, he would 1215 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:27,200 Speaker 1: breathe a huge sigh of relief. He doesn't really want this, 1216 01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,479 Speaker 1: doesn't really want his family to be dragged into this 1217 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,799 Speaker 1: whole thing, you know, Hunter Biden. That's just the beginning 1218 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,759 Speaker 1: of what they're going to talk about with Hunter Biden, 1219 01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:37,679 Speaker 1: this whole thing in Ukraine. They're also gonna bring China 1220 01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:41,880 Speaker 1: into it. I just I don't know's it has been. 1221 01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:45,160 Speaker 1: It has been a shock to me that he has defied, 1222 01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:51,599 Speaker 1: defied all of my claims to this point that oh, 1223 01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,200 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be Biden. I'm like, how does this 1224 01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:54,960 Speaker 1: guy holding on to the I think the moment that 1225 01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:56,920 Speaker 1: he gets an opening to not be the front runner, 1226 01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,760 Speaker 1: he'll just fade away. And that's what I think is 1227 01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,439 Speaker 1: going to happen here. But because this moment where he's asked, 1228 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,759 Speaker 1: he's being asked by somebody, an Iowa reporter, what's what's 1229 01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:08,400 Speaker 1: the case you make? He doesn't even know it. He 1230 01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,320 Speaker 1: doesn't even want to make the case. What is that? 1231 01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,280 Speaker 1: Is he tired? You need a nap? We'll be right back. 1232 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,280 Speaker 1: I am focused on getting the Inspector General of the 1233 01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:28,479 Speaker 1: Intelligence Community to provide Congress with the whistleblower complaint as 1234 01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:35,599 Speaker 1: required by law. Let me repeat that, as required by law. Ah, 1235 01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:40,360 Speaker 1: I see what's going on here. You have the Senate 1236 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:43,599 Speaker 1: passing this a unanimous resolution to hand the whistleblower complaint 1237 01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,679 Speaker 1: to the Intel committees. Right, but that the Democrat narrative. 1238 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,840 Speaker 1: You can see it forming. You know, it's almost like 1239 01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,799 Speaker 1: watching water freeze into ice. You just you see it happening. 1240 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:59,360 Speaker 1: That's about as exciting. They are going to say that 1241 01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:04,000 Speaker 1: the trend script is not enough. Keep in mind what 1242 01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:07,320 Speaker 1: that means the Democrat position will be as of tomorrow. 1243 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,840 Speaker 1: And I'm putting on my little nostre damas cap here. 1244 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,360 Speaker 1: This is what's going to happen. Trump will release the transcript. 1245 01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:14,960 Speaker 1: It will not be nearly as damning as Democrats pretended 1246 01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,519 Speaker 1: that it was. And then they'll say, ah, but we 1247 01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:21,240 Speaker 1: need the whistleblower complaint. Here's the problem. The whistleblower is 1248 01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,719 Speaker 1: basing his complaint on a transcript or on a call 1249 01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 1: that he neither heard nor read the transcript of, So 1250 01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:32,280 Speaker 1: he's basing it on what someone told him. But then 1251 01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:36,080 Speaker 1: they're going to elevate an obvious anti Trump deep state 1252 01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:41,280 Speaker 1: loon into being the second coming of George Washington because 1253 01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:44,360 Speaker 1: he's now a hero of the resistance for his or 1254 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:50,479 Speaker 1: her whistleblower complaint. And I think about the mentality here. 1255 01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,280 Speaker 1: You hear about something that someone says the president said 1256 01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:58,680 Speaker 1: on a phone call, and then you decide based on that, 1257 01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:02,200 Speaker 1: without knowing anything, you're s elf that you are going 1258 01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:08,120 Speaker 1: to you know, no, I'm sorry, that's not how it works. 1259 01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,880 Speaker 1: You're gonna go forward with this in that way? No, no, 1260 01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:19,439 Speaker 1: but that's what they're gonna say. They are going to 1261 01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:23,640 Speaker 1: claim that the whistleblower he needs to be heard, the 1262 01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:31,880 Speaker 1: whistleblower complaint needs to be heard. Huh why is that 1263 01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:35,000 Speaker 1: the case? What does the whistleblower know that is more 1264 01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,880 Speaker 1: than what is in the transcript? Folks? Oh, I see. 1265 01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,680 Speaker 1: They want narrative creation. They want someone who works the 1266 01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,880 Speaker 1: intelligence community to say it for them. Okay, team, we've 1267 01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 1: been talking a lot about climate change. Un climate change 1268 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:50,360 Speaker 1: a big topic there, obviously, young Greta Thunberg getting a 1269 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 1: lot of headlines back and forth over that. I want 1270 01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,800 Speaker 1: to bring in somebody today who comes at this from 1271 01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,639 Speaker 1: a science background. We hear so much from people who 1272 01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:02,519 Speaker 1: are represent venting scientists in one way or another. I 1273 01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:06,799 Speaker 1: thought i'd bring one on. We have Professor Roger Pielkey 1274 01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:09,280 Speaker 1: with us now. He is Professor Environmental Studies at the 1275 01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:13,400 Speaker 1: University of Colorado, Boulder. Professor Pielke, great to have you, sir, 1276 01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,519 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. So let's just start with this 1277 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,840 Speaker 1: you said today. I mean, this is what caught my 1278 01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:22,880 Speaker 1: attention initially on Twitter, that you are You're a professor 1279 01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:27,400 Speaker 1: of environmental studies and you are blocked by a lot 1280 01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:31,120 Speaker 1: of major media companies, The New York Times, Vox I 1281 01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,599 Speaker 1: think you listed a few others. What's up with that, professor? 1282 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: What did you do to upset the vox gods. Yeah, 1283 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:41,320 Speaker 1: it's a good question. I've published a lot of research 1284 01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:45,759 Speaker 1: and academic peer review journals and been pretty outspoken about 1285 01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:50,840 Speaker 1: what it says. But some reporters at The New York Times, 1286 01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:54,360 Speaker 1: Washington Post, Vox dot com, I've decided they don't want 1287 01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:56,040 Speaker 1: to hear what I have to say. So wait, but 1288 01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:58,639 Speaker 1: what did you have to say, professor? Don't don't stand 1289 01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:02,639 Speaker 1: on ceremony. What were you telling them that bothered them? Yeah? Well, 1290 01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:06,960 Speaker 1: I mean, the science of extreme events and disasters is 1291 01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:12,280 Speaker 1: pretty robust, and right now hurricanes, floods, tornadoes are often 1292 01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,960 Speaker 1: at the centerpiece of the climate change debate. But the 1293 01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:17,600 Speaker 1: reality is, if you look at the leading scientific assessments, 1294 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:21,599 Speaker 1: they are in some cases projected to increase in the future. 1295 01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:23,600 Speaker 1: But in the United States and the world, we have 1296 01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:27,519 Speaker 1: not seen an increase in hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, or drought. 1297 01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,479 Speaker 1: So so I'm gonna need to drill down this for 1298 01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,880 Speaker 1: a second, because whether it's you know, Bill Maher or 1299 01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:37,160 Speaker 1: NBC News or CNN, you have all these people go 1300 01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:40,959 Speaker 1: on TV and they constantly say storms are getting stronger, 1301 01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:44,360 Speaker 1: extreme weather is increasing, the wets are getting wetter, the 1302 01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:47,519 Speaker 1: colds are getting colder, all this stuff you always hear. 1303 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:51,240 Speaker 1: You are telling me that when it comes to extreme weather, 1304 01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:55,920 Speaker 1: that is not true. Where would one go for sourcemanshow 1305 01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:58,360 Speaker 1: or if if I said that, you know, I'm going 1306 01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:00,439 Speaker 1: to be at Politicon next month, I said that in 1307 01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:02,800 Speaker 1: a room full of Democrats, they would all, you know, 1308 01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,960 Speaker 1: hoot and scream and say I was crazy. Where do 1309 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,040 Speaker 1: I go to point them? Where can I point them 1310 01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,080 Speaker 1: to where they would be able to see that it 1311 01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:13,080 Speaker 1: is not in fact true that extreme weather is get 1312 01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,360 Speaker 1: just extreme weather, That fat is not happening in the 1313 01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,559 Speaker 1: way that they say it is after every hurricane. Yeah, 1314 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,680 Speaker 1: So I mean the important thing, There's two things here. 1315 01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,840 Speaker 1: One is you have to go phenomena by phenomena. So 1316 01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 1: it is true that there are more heat waves, more 1317 01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:31,799 Speaker 1: high temperatures, there is more extreme precipitation, but not more floods. 1318 01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:35,080 Speaker 1: And the place to go to get the actual data 1319 01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:38,440 Speaker 1: is the inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change, The IPCC. 1320 01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:42,560 Speaker 1: You can also go to the US National Climate Assessment 1321 01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:45,560 Speaker 1: Document and then the official data if you want to 1322 01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:49,439 Speaker 1: dig even deeper of our US agencies like NOAH and 1323 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:55,080 Speaker 1: the National Weather Service, NASA and EPA. Within the scientific community, 1324 01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:59,760 Speaker 1: these statements are not particularly controversial since they are reflected 1325 01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,800 Speaker 1: in leading scientific assessments. It is, as you say, when 1326 01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,599 Speaker 1: you get to the to the media discussion and then 1327 01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,000 Speaker 1: some of the hot politics of the climate debate, where 1328 01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:11,639 Speaker 1: things get they depart from what the science actually says. 1329 01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:16,080 Speaker 1: So so, based on the science, hurricanes getting worse as 1330 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,760 Speaker 1: a function of climate change that cannot be proven, is 1331 01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:22,120 Speaker 1: that fair to say, Yeah, it's fair to say. I 1332 01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,560 Speaker 1: mean in the United States. You know, we had a 1333 01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 1: paper come out last year looking at land following hurricanes 1334 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:29,800 Speaker 1: in the United States, and there's no trend either in 1335 01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:33,080 Speaker 1: all hurricanes or the most intense hurricanes from nineteen hundred 1336 01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:37,880 Speaker 1: till present. If you look at flooding, there's there is 1337 01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,679 Speaker 1: no conclusion that flooding has increased in the United States 1338 01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:44,120 Speaker 1: or the world. The same goes for drought. Tornadoes are 1339 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:47,200 Speaker 1: interesting because there is an indication that since nineteen fifty, 1340 01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:49,800 Speaker 1: when we have good records, that there actually has been 1341 01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:53,400 Speaker 1: a decline in the United States and tornadoes, so fewer tornadoes, 1342 01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:55,120 Speaker 1: which is not a talking point you hear very often. 1343 01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,639 Speaker 1: But I guess somebody could roll that one out there. 1344 01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:01,080 Speaker 1: And folks, we're talking to Professor Roger Ki who's at 1345 01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,959 Speaker 1: the University of Colorado Boulder. He's an environmental studies professor. 1346 01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:08,760 Speaker 1: He studies the environment and Professor I also wanted you 1347 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:12,360 Speaker 1: to explain to everyone listening across the country your point 1348 01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:16,440 Speaker 1: about see I often talk just as a layperson about 1349 01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:18,760 Speaker 1: how over history you can see that there is a 1350 01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:22,800 Speaker 1: natural process of decarbonizing in our energy sources that you know, 1351 01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:26,200 Speaker 1: we went from We've gone from coal to mostly get 1352 01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,960 Speaker 1: you know, gasoline gas and now natural gas, and now 1353 01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:32,040 Speaker 1: we're getting closer to better renewables. There's a renewed interest 1354 01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,800 Speaker 1: in nuclear there is a decarbonizing process that's happening as 1355 01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:38,960 Speaker 1: a function of technology. But you've cited how much we 1356 01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:43,200 Speaker 1: have decarbonized in recent years and then what it would 1357 01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,280 Speaker 1: require to hit the UN targets, and there's a huge gap. 1358 01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,560 Speaker 1: Could you just walk me through that. Yeah. Historically, the 1359 01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,800 Speaker 1: way the economy works, both in the United States and 1360 01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,599 Speaker 1: most countries around the world is we get better at 1361 01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,720 Speaker 1: doing things. So anyone who's of a certain age, and 1362 01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:01,280 Speaker 1: if you had a car in the nine seventies, nineteen eighties, 1363 01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,280 Speaker 1: even nineteen nineties, you know the cars are a lot 1364 01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,040 Speaker 1: more efficient. They run better now. When we get more efficient, 1365 01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,080 Speaker 1: that's good because that helps grow our economy and people 1366 01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:12,240 Speaker 1: like rising wealth. So accompanying with that is we emit 1367 01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:16,400 Speaker 1: less carbon dioxide. What we haven't done and what we're 1368 01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 1: going to need to do in the future if we 1369 01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,959 Speaker 1: are going to hit these aggressive targets for emissions reductions, 1370 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:22,960 Speaker 1: is we're going to have to change out much more 1371 01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,599 Speaker 1: rapidly how we get our energy. It's not enough just 1372 01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:28,360 Speaker 1: to be more efficient. We're going to have to change 1373 01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:31,200 Speaker 1: out coal plants, natural gas plants. We're going to have 1374 01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,920 Speaker 1: to get our cars off of petroleum. That's a huge, 1375 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,800 Speaker 1: huge task. And we are nowhere close, really anywhere in 1376 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:43,479 Speaker 1: the world to those rates of change that are implied 1377 01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:46,080 Speaker 1: by these aggressive targets. So, yeah, the targets that and 1378 01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:48,240 Speaker 1: forever and listening, I think it's fair to say, I'm professor. 1379 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to characterize your work or your beliefs, 1380 01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,519 Speaker 1: but you're not somebody who I mean, I'm highly skeptical 1381 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,439 Speaker 1: of climate change as an issue that needs massive intergovernmental 1382 01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:00,920 Speaker 1: action on pain of the extinction of human species, which 1383 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:02,680 Speaker 1: is what we've been hearing for the last well for 1384 01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:04,640 Speaker 1: a long time, but certainly in the last week, you 1385 01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:06,960 Speaker 1: believe the climate change, if I'm correct here based on 1386 01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,960 Speaker 1: what I've read of some of your writing, is a problem. 1387 01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,280 Speaker 1: But we need to be serious about how we deal 1388 01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:14,000 Speaker 1: with the problem. Is that fair to say and not 1389 01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:16,880 Speaker 1: just make wild statements about you know, we're going to 1390 01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:18,760 Speaker 1: do this, We're going to be off everything in ten years. 1391 01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:20,800 Speaker 1: But how would you describe where you come down in 1392 01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:24,960 Speaker 1: this discussion? Yeah, I mean it's you're pretty accurate in 1393 01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,439 Speaker 1: my views. I mean, if we had a choice and 1394 01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:30,719 Speaker 1: you ask anybody, whatever their political orientation, is it better 1395 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,240 Speaker 1: to load up the atmosphere with carbon dioxide or not? 1396 01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:35,960 Speaker 1: I think most everybody would say, yeah, it's probably not 1397 01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 1: a good idea to do that. People can argue about 1398 01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 1: the long term effects and if they're larger or small, 1399 01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,280 Speaker 1: but at you know, first principles, it would seem that 1400 01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:45,200 Speaker 1: if we don't have to do it, we probably shouldn't 1401 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:49,320 Speaker 1: because we're we are introducing a chemical into the atmosphere 1402 01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,280 Speaker 1: at levels that we haven't seen before. So if we 1403 01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,040 Speaker 1: all can agree, well it's better not to do it 1404 01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:55,800 Speaker 1: than to do it, then the question becomes, well, what 1405 01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:58,080 Speaker 1: are our choices? How do how do we actually get 1406 01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:01,720 Speaker 1: to a global economy where we're not emitting carbon dioxide? 1407 01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:04,400 Speaker 1: And that's where the big gap is because if there 1408 01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:08,120 Speaker 1: was energy sources that were perfectly clean, perfectly cheap and 1409 01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:11,960 Speaker 1: easy to deploy, we wouldn't be having this big, broad globe. 1410 01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:15,400 Speaker 1: And what do you say from the perspective of somebody 1411 01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:17,960 Speaker 1: who was studying this as your life's work when you hear, 1412 01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:21,840 Speaker 1: for example, Beto O'Rourke or I think there are many 1413 01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:24,479 Speaker 1: politicians out there who are saying similar things. We're going 1414 01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:28,599 Speaker 1: to be at zero carbonage or net zero carbon emissions, 1415 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:32,240 Speaker 1: I think is a specific phrase they use. By twenty 1416 01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:34,680 Speaker 1: fifty I mean one. I think any politician who is 1417 01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:36,920 Speaker 1: looking thirty years in the future is pretending to know 1418 01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:38,880 Speaker 1: a whole heck of a lot more than any human 1419 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,800 Speaker 1: being ever could. But beyond that, based on the trajectory 1420 01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:45,799 Speaker 1: we're currently on, is that unless there are radical breakthroughs 1421 01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,479 Speaker 1: in technology, which could very well happen any time, is 1422 01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:51,599 Speaker 1: that realistic Net zero I mean, when China and India 1423 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,639 Speaker 1: are the biggest contributors to CO two, we're only fifteen 1424 01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,400 Speaker 1: percent in America, how could we get to net zero 1425 01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:01,519 Speaker 1: global emissions? Yeah, so net zero is if you want 1426 01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,160 Speaker 1: to balance out carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, that's where 1427 01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,360 Speaker 1: we have to end up at. And so there is 1428 01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,960 Speaker 1: this auction of promises that politicians make. They say, well, 1429 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,599 Speaker 1: twenty fifty, and another politician says twenty nine, and another 1430 01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:15,720 Speaker 1: says twenty forty five. But you know, the way you 1431 01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,600 Speaker 1: can tell that a politician isn't super serious about a 1432 01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,000 Speaker 1: topic is they're running for office in twenty twenty and 1433 01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,920 Speaker 1: they're talking about a twenty fifty target. What we should 1434 01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:26,120 Speaker 1: all be asking for is what's the target for twenty 1435 01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,000 Speaker 1: twenty one, twenty twenty two. If you're lucky enough to 1436 01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:30,560 Speaker 1: be in office for eight years, what's it going to 1437 01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:35,000 Speaker 1: be for this decade? Because it's not as important exactly 1438 01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,439 Speaker 1: where we end up, but where we start. And the 1439 01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,400 Speaker 1: problem with climate policies it's never gotten out of the blocks. 1440 01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:42,479 Speaker 1: It's done a lot of things, there's a lot of 1441 01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:44,680 Speaker 1: talk and a lot of heat, but we haven't made 1442 01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:48,720 Speaker 1: any progress towards accelerating that rate of decarbonization. We've got 1443 01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,040 Speaker 1: to take the first steps before we can start talking 1444 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,320 Speaker 1: about net zero. Are you called based on some of 1445 01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:56,160 Speaker 1: these premises you've put out, which to me all sounds 1446 01:22:56,520 --> 01:23:00,080 Speaker 1: entirely reasonable, right that there's because I don't say what 1447 01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:02,519 Speaker 1: one I mean, I can't pretend to really know. I 1448 01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,080 Speaker 1: don't say that the climate isn't warming, that global warming 1449 01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:07,080 Speaker 1: doesn't exist in on capacity. I just know that I've 1450 01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:08,800 Speaker 1: been lied to a lot in the past about what 1451 01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:10,280 Speaker 1: it's going to mean for the future. And so I 1452 01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:13,599 Speaker 1: look at this with a very skeptical eye. But you're 1453 01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,519 Speaker 1: looking at it from the perspective of somebody who studies 1454 01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,760 Speaker 1: it all the time. And yet I get the sense 1455 01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:21,519 Speaker 1: that if you said to certain audiences, and honestly, I 1456 01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:23,559 Speaker 1: would say most people who are left of center across 1457 01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:25,479 Speaker 1: the board and some people who write of center, if 1458 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:27,280 Speaker 1: you said to them what you've just said to me, 1459 01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:30,920 Speaker 1: you would be called the climate denier. Does that happen 1460 01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:33,840 Speaker 1: to you? Has that happened to you? Well, now now 1461 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:36,799 Speaker 1: we're getting back to why some people block me on Twitter. 1462 01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's it's far more important to 1463 01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:43,160 Speaker 1: talk about initial steps and the analogy I use is 1464 01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,800 Speaker 1: extending human lifespan. Right. We could say, well, in a 1465 01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:47,800 Speaker 1: hundred years, we want the average human lifespan to be 1466 01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:49,920 Speaker 1: one hundred and four, and someone could yell at you 1467 01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:51,479 Speaker 1: and say, oh, you don't have any ambition it should 1468 01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:54,000 Speaker 1: be one hundred and eight. The reality is we have 1469 01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,680 Speaker 1: to go from seventy nine to eighty to eighty one. 1470 01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:00,639 Speaker 1: And you know, these long century long n which really 1471 01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:04,680 Speaker 1: is what climate change in is, require incremental steps. So 1472 01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:06,479 Speaker 1: what people want to know is tell me the cost 1473 01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,840 Speaker 1: and benefits of the action we're going to take today, tomorrow, 1474 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,560 Speaker 1: next year, so I know how it affects my pocketbook, 1475 01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:14,840 Speaker 1: what I can see in the environment Professor, Again, this 1476 01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:18,320 Speaker 1: all sounds entirely reasonable. I'm just wondering. You know, we 1477 01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:21,080 Speaker 1: talked about how you've been blocked. Do other scientists come 1478 01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:23,200 Speaker 1: after you for talking about this in this way? I mean, 1479 01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,559 Speaker 1: are you persecuted for trying to be reasonable on the 1480 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:29,400 Speaker 1: issue of climate science? Yeah? Well I got academic ten years, 1481 01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:33,320 Speaker 1: so persecution is there. You go word, But yeah, there 1482 01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,679 Speaker 1: are a number of very loud voices in the climate 1483 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,680 Speaker 1: debate that try to squeeze others out, and you know, 1484 01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:43,360 Speaker 1: you have to decide whether climate change is an issue 1485 01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:45,160 Speaker 1: that we want to fight about, or climate change is 1486 01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:46,960 Speaker 1: an issue that we want to come together and solve. 1487 01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:48,800 Speaker 1: And I think that's up to all of us to 1488 01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:51,320 Speaker 1: figure out, you know, is this something that we want 1489 01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,519 Speaker 1: to work on, or is this something that you know, 1490 01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,960 Speaker 1: it's really fun to have left right debates, and maybe 1491 01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:58,160 Speaker 1: climate change is one of those. And I do think 1492 01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:00,160 Speaker 1: there are a number of scientists who've gotten sucked into 1493 01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,800 Speaker 1: that political vortex rather than talking about it as a 1494 01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:06,320 Speaker 1: policy problem. All right, professor, we really appreciate you joining 1495 01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:08,000 Speaker 1: us today. Interesting to get your point of view. A 1496 01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:12,400 Speaker 1: professor Environmental Studies University at Colorado Boulder, Roger Pielke, Junior 1497 01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:14,679 Speaker 1: Professor Pelke, thank you so much again, so you take 1498 01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:26,600 Speaker 1: care you too. Thanks for having me. Welcome back to 1499 01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:29,200 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show. I wish that I could say 1500 01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:35,040 Speaker 1: that the bad liberal ideas out there didn't have negative 1501 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,640 Speaker 1: consequences for real people, but of course they do. And 1502 01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:41,360 Speaker 1: one of the areas where this is becoming increasingly apparent 1503 01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 1: is around the surge in homelessness. It's particularly bad in California, 1504 01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:51,960 Speaker 1: which I believe now has half of the countries the 1505 01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:54,919 Speaker 1: state of California I think now has half of the 1506 01:25:55,200 --> 01:26:02,439 Speaker 1: entire United States homeless population, and it has jumped twenty 1507 01:26:02,479 --> 01:26:07,879 Speaker 1: percent in just the last three years. Yep, California accounts 1508 01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,840 Speaker 1: for a half of people living on the streets one state. Now, 1509 01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:15,880 Speaker 1: it cannot go without notice that California is a liberal stronghold, 1510 01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:21,759 Speaker 1: That California is a place that liberals have total political 1511 01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:27,080 Speaker 1: control at the legislature, at the legislative level, for all 1512 01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:30,599 Speaker 1: the major cities, at the mayoral level, I mean, just 1513 01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:32,920 Speaker 1: all the way down, all right, California is the blue 1514 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:38,200 Speaker 1: the great blue Democrat wall. And now you look at 1515 01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:40,080 Speaker 1: the homelessess problem and you say, okay, well, what can 1516 01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 1: we do to fix this. I've talked to you a 1517 01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:42,559 Speaker 1: little bit about it, and I will say the more 1518 01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 1: I dig into it, the more my initial assessment is correct. 1519 01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:51,080 Speaker 1: The numbers prove it out that this is a problem 1520 01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:55,360 Speaker 1: that is particularly bad in the most liberal cities in 1521 01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:59,280 Speaker 1: the United States. The places where liberal policies are enacted 1522 01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:03,439 Speaker 1: with the greatest gusto are the areas that have the 1523 01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:06,080 Speaker 1: worst problem of homelessess. Now, I'd said before, I think 1524 01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:08,080 Speaker 1: maybe a week or two ago, that we do have 1525 01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,360 Speaker 1: to remember that's sure, the climate place I don't mean 1526 01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,479 Speaker 1: climate change, right, I know, we're just having a climate 1527 01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:15,040 Speaker 1: change professor on I don't know. I hope you all 1528 01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:17,280 Speaker 1: could could read between the lines there. And there's a 1529 01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:20,040 Speaker 1: guy who's all, he doesn't study climate and he knows 1530 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:21,840 Speaker 1: that it's like not what they say it is, but 1531 01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:24,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to. He doesn't want protesters outside of 1532 01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:27,160 Speaker 1: his house. He's like, maybe I could convince them to 1533 01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:28,720 Speaker 1: just be a little less crazy, and that's a better. 1534 01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:32,559 Speaker 1: So I respect that approach where he's like convincing them 1535 01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,360 Speaker 1: that even if we did what they say we should do, 1536 01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:38,320 Speaker 1: that wouldn't be enough and that wouldn't save us. So 1537 01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,160 Speaker 1: maybe we should think of something else. But anyway, I mean, 1538 01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:43,760 Speaker 1: climate is in it's warm in California. Well, it turns 1539 01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:47,320 Speaker 1: out that if you look at California versus Florida, which 1540 01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:53,240 Speaker 1: have very similar climates year round, and particularly if it's 1541 01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:55,719 Speaker 1: an issue of avoiding severe or cold on the streets, 1542 01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,400 Speaker 1: Florida obviously gets it done. California has a far worse 1543 01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:02,600 Speaker 1: problem of homes then Florida does, which, as we know, 1544 01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:05,479 Speaker 1: is a much more politically, it's really a fifty fifty state. Politically, 1545 01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:09,519 Speaker 1: it's very very close to split down the line, and 1546 01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:11,080 Speaker 1: then you look at some of the numbers on this 1547 01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:13,320 Speaker 1: last year. This is the Wall Street Journal today. Orange 1548 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:17,879 Speaker 1: County government cleared thirteen thousand, nine hundred and fifty needles, 1549 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,240 Speaker 1: four hundred and four tons of debris, and five two 1550 01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:24,400 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy nine pounds of hazardous waste from a 1551 01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:28,679 Speaker 1: homeless camp in the Santa Anna riverbed. Since two thousand 1552 01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:33,320 Speaker 1: and nine, cases of fleaborne typhus have increased tenfold to 1553 01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:36,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy four. A homeless person in bel 1554 01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:39,880 Speaker 1: Air started a fire in twenty seventeen that raised four 1555 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:44,400 Speaker 1: hundred acres and shut down West LA for several days. 1556 01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:49,000 Speaker 1: A video recently went viral of a woman being assaulted 1557 01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,880 Speaker 1: outside of San Francisco condo by an apparently mentally ill 1558 01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,760 Speaker 1: homeless man. After being booked for the battery of the 1559 01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:58,240 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, rights the assailant was released. A union 1560 01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:03,639 Speaker 1: representing groundskeepers last week demanded pepper spray so workers can 1561 01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:07,080 Speaker 1: defend themselves from homeless people after a rash of assaults 1562 01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:12,599 Speaker 1: on them. What do you think democrats blame? Oh, that's right, 1563 01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:16,920 Speaker 1: the rent is too high. Why is now that's not 1564 01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,800 Speaker 1: even dealing with the fact that about a third at 1565 01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:24,920 Speaker 1: least of the homeless in California have a severe mental 1566 01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:30,440 Speaker 1: illness and or addiction problem. Right, So that's one component 1567 01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:32,439 Speaker 1: of it that they just don't even deal with that. 1568 01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:35,280 Speaker 1: But even if we're going to talk about housing scarcity, 1569 01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:39,160 Speaker 1: if this is a market based issue, why is it 1570 01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:41,599 Speaker 1: so much worse in California than it is in other places? 1571 01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:47,639 Speaker 1: There are real reasons for that. This isn't just something 1572 01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:49,519 Speaker 1: that you look at in a vacuum. You can look 1573 01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:55,120 Speaker 1: at what the reality of California housing policy is. And 1574 01:29:55,240 --> 01:30:00,280 Speaker 1: in California, it is very, very hard to build new 1575 01:30:00,320 --> 01:30:05,679 Speaker 1: homes because of all the different regulations because they want 1576 01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:09,960 Speaker 1: all sorts of environmentalists to be happy, they want people 1577 01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:13,320 Speaker 1: to just the zoning restrictions and the this and the that, 1578 01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:16,000 Speaker 1: and the climate change and all these things they throw together. 1579 01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:20,759 Speaker 1: That's what makes it so much more difficult for people 1580 01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 1: to build housing, especially low income housing. And the state 1581 01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,360 Speaker 1: does not do a very good job of this. The 1582 01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:29,759 Speaker 1: moment that the state is in charge of creating the housing, 1583 01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,680 Speaker 1: guess what, people know that that will it's never going 1584 01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:37,679 Speaker 1: to rise in value. It also brings down the value 1585 01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:39,680 Speaker 1: of all the homes around it. So anywhere where you 1586 01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:44,560 Speaker 1: build a government housing is going to drop the surrounding 1587 01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:49,040 Speaker 1: areas real estate property value, which also then has downstream 1588 01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:52,800 Speaker 1: effects of increased crime and poverty and all all kinds 1589 01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:57,320 Speaker 1: of things. It's not good. So what really needs to 1590 01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:00,240 Speaker 1: happen here, Well, you'd have to have and understand ending 1591 01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:04,320 Speaker 1: from the government that the government is not making this better. 1592 01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:07,240 Speaker 1: The government California, the most liberal state in the country, 1593 01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:09,160 Speaker 1: would have to step back and say, hold on a second. 1594 01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:14,360 Speaker 1: The problem isn't the market. The problem is supposedly do 1595 01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:19,320 Speaker 1: good or interference in the market by left wing political 1596 01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:23,200 Speaker 1: activists and left wing politicians who think that if only 1597 01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:26,600 Speaker 1: they can control more about the housing market, everybody and 1598 01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:30,439 Speaker 1: everything will be much better off. It's just not true. 1599 01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:33,360 Speaker 1: But as is unfortunately case with Oh that's right, we're 1600 01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:37,040 Speaker 1: going there central planning all the time. The central planners 1601 01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:40,280 Speaker 1: never think it's their mistake. There always must be some 1602 01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:44,760 Speaker 1: other external enemy, There must be some other problem that 1603 01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,080 Speaker 1: can be pointed to. So what is it here? Oh, 1604 01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:49,679 Speaker 1: the rich aren't paying enough. They've already approved different tax 1605 01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,720 Speaker 1: hikes on millionaires in California or on the wealthy, or 1606 01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:56,240 Speaker 1: whatever that specific rate is. Do you think that's made 1607 01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,880 Speaker 1: the homelessness problem any better. Of course not, and the 1608 01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:02,240 Speaker 1: money just gets squandered in Sacramento the moment that the 1609 01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:08,120 Speaker 1: state government picks it up. What do we need market 1610 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:20,320 Speaker 1: solutions freedom? Let's government California won't buy into it. Today, 1611 01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:24,639 Speaker 1: I have a message for those open border activists who 1612 01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:30,120 Speaker 1: cloak themselves in the rhetoric of social justice. Your policies 1613 01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:37,320 Speaker 1: are not just. Your policies are cruel and evil. You 1614 01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:41,240 Speaker 1: are empowering criminal organizations that prey on innocent men, women, 1615 01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:45,639 Speaker 1: and children. You put your own false sense of virtue 1616 01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:52,000 Speaker 1: before the lives, wellbeing and countless innocent people. When you 1617 01:32:52,080 --> 01:32:56,640 Speaker 1: undermine or to security, you are undermining human rights and 1618 01:32:56,720 --> 01:33:01,360 Speaker 1: human dignity. Many of the kind she's here today are 1619 01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:07,760 Speaker 1: coping with the challenges of uncontrolled migration. Each of you 1620 01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:12,439 Speaker 1: has the absolute right to protect your borders, and so 1621 01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:19,280 Speaker 1: of course does our country. Today, we must resolve to 1622 01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:25,040 Speaker 1: work together to end human smuggling, end human trafficking, and 1623 01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:29,280 Speaker 1: put these criminal networks out of business for good. We 1624 01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:31,880 Speaker 1: haven't solved the immigration issue by a long shot in 1625 01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:34,519 Speaker 1: this country. It was interesting to hear the present speak 1626 01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:37,920 Speaker 1: about it today at the United Nations you have all 1627 01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:41,519 Speaker 1: these different countries assembled there, and they all, all of 1628 01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,679 Speaker 1: them maintain the right to determine who comes and who goes, 1629 01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:49,080 Speaker 1: who is a lawful entrance, and who is denied entry. 1630 01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:52,439 Speaker 1: Some of them also deal with real refugee crises, meaning 1631 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:57,880 Speaker 1: people that are fleeing from violence, from misery, from certain death, 1632 01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:01,599 Speaker 1: and they're just very well they're supposed to and generally 1633 01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:04,599 Speaker 1: are very happy to be in a safe place, not 1634 01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:07,920 Speaker 1: necessarily looking to exploit the laws of the new country 1635 01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,680 Speaker 1: they have arrived in, try to get through the system 1636 01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:13,920 Speaker 1: and lie and do all the things that we are 1637 01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:17,200 Speaker 1: always being well that I tell you about. The mainstream 1638 01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:19,400 Speaker 1: media does not want to tell you. I was making 1639 01:34:19,439 --> 01:34:21,960 Speaker 1: sure I was trying to pull the number so that 1640 01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:26,000 Speaker 1: I have it exactly right. But I'm pretty sure that 1641 01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:28,760 Speaker 1: they have just released how many individuals. This is from 1642 01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:31,280 Speaker 1: Customs Immigration Enforcement, and I will check on this to 1643 01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:33,519 Speaker 1: make sure I'm giving the right number. But they think 1644 01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:36,360 Speaker 1: that about six thousand people pretended to be in the 1645 01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:40,519 Speaker 1: last fiscal year, six thousand people were pretending to be 1646 01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:44,160 Speaker 1: relatives at our southern border who are not. It's not 1647 01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:47,120 Speaker 1: one or two. It wasn't just a little thing here 1648 01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:50,920 Speaker 1: or there. That's a lot, folks. That is a systematic 1649 01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:57,040 Speaker 1: and systemic that is a clear and repeated fraud. And 1650 01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:01,040 Speaker 1: why haven't you heard about that? Why hasn't this gotten 1651 01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:04,160 Speaker 1: more attention? Well, because once again, I've been telling you 1652 01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:06,120 Speaker 1: all along about the frauds that have been happening at 1653 01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:08,560 Speaker 1: our southern border, the way that our laws have been exploited, 1654 01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:11,839 Speaker 1: the way that the good faith and decency and honesty 1655 01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:18,679 Speaker 1: of the American people has been exploited, and the liberal 1656 01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:21,160 Speaker 1: media just doesn't want to cover it at all. They 1657 01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:23,320 Speaker 1: like this, They like this story of Oh, all the 1658 01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:26,960 Speaker 1: people that are coming from Central America that are breaking 1659 01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:29,479 Speaker 1: the law by not waiting in line to go through 1660 01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:32,160 Speaker 1: at port of entry. All the people that are coming there, 1661 01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:36,200 Speaker 1: they're doing so because they have no choice, because they're refugees. 1662 01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:38,160 Speaker 1: They're not just migrants that are looking to skip the line. 1663 01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:41,519 Speaker 1: This was These were all lies. They were lying to 1664 01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:43,479 Speaker 1: you about this. I mean, they are clever enough, these 1665 01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:47,559 Speaker 1: different news organizations, They are clever enough to know that 1666 01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:51,679 Speaker 1: what they're saying is not accurate, to know that what 1667 01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:54,160 Speaker 1: was going on at our southern border was a matter 1668 01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:59,920 Speaker 1: of intentional and repeated fraud. But that was not part 1669 01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:04,120 Speaker 1: with a narrative. They did not want to let people 1670 01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:09,680 Speaker 1: in on what was really happening. So you know, now 1671 01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:11,560 Speaker 1: when you take a look at what's going on on 1672 01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:14,120 Speaker 1: the border, I think that the president has at least 1673 01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:16,720 Speaker 1: been able to turn the tide a bit against what 1674 01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:19,720 Speaker 1: had been going on in the past. I think the 1675 01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:23,439 Speaker 1: president has at least started to build a wall. But 1676 01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:25,760 Speaker 1: he has all these countries that are that are gathered there, 1677 01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:28,759 Speaker 1: and America is the outlier in a couple of ways. 1678 01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:32,839 Speaker 1: One is that we have half of our political class, 1679 01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:36,679 Speaker 1: or one of our two major political parties, doesn't believe 1680 01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:39,200 Speaker 1: that we really have a right to determine who can 1681 01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:42,600 Speaker 1: stay in this country and who can we just have 1682 01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:47,560 Speaker 1: seeded sovereignty, which is also why Trump's comments around globalists, 1683 01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:49,240 Speaker 1: I think we're so important because that has been a 1684 01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:52,400 Speaker 1: globalist project all along. If you eliminate borders, if you 1685 01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:56,800 Speaker 1: eliminate national sovereignty, well then you do have the ability. 1686 01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:00,000 Speaker 1: Then you do have the opening for one world government, 1687 01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:01,479 Speaker 1: because if people can just come and go as they 1688 01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:04,200 Speaker 1: please from any country, then no one country can have 1689 01:37:04,240 --> 01:37:05,960 Speaker 1: a hold over them. You would have to just have 1690 01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:09,360 Speaker 1: one system overseeing all of it. And I know that 1691 01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:12,200 Speaker 1: this sounds radical, but look at what is happening already, 1692 01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:15,280 Speaker 1: look at the radical shifts that we have been undergoing 1693 01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:19,200 Speaker 1: in this country and also around the world. This is 1694 01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:23,280 Speaker 1: all very real. So I'm going to continue to focus 1695 01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:27,280 Speaker 1: in on the issue of our southern border migration. I 1696 01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:29,519 Speaker 1: was glad the President spoke about it today, and I'm 1697 01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:31,679 Speaker 1: glad that he has not allowed the media to completely 1698 01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:36,080 Speaker 1: define this narrative because they have been lying to you 1699 01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:45,559 Speaker 1: about this lying. We'll be back with roll call. Buck. 1700 01:37:46,160 --> 01:38:01,400 Speaker 1: It's time for roll call. Roll call. Everybody here we go. 1701 01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:05,639 Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's get to it. We face. 1702 01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:08,400 Speaker 1: We'll start with the Facebook roll call. I'm trying to 1703 01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:10,640 Speaker 1: not have a favorite among my role call children, but 1704 01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:14,720 Speaker 1: Facebook tends to be easier because all the messages I 1705 01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:17,320 Speaker 1: can use instead of email. I don't want to read 1706 01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:22,080 Speaker 1: you guys about the new iHeartMedia Info SEC policy, but 1707 01:38:22,120 --> 01:38:26,200 Speaker 1: because that can happen sometimes, um, let's see what is this? 1708 01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:28,120 Speaker 1: By the way, sometimes I get these message on Facebook 1709 01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:30,880 Speaker 1: where it's someone writes, Kenny, can you tell me more 1710 01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:35,120 Speaker 1: about yourself? That's an automated message? Right, Why is that happening? 1711 01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:37,920 Speaker 1: Because no, no, I'm not going to like, write my 1712 01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:40,400 Speaker 1: book because you're a business on Facebook. Oh, because I'm 1713 01:38:40,439 --> 01:38:43,600 Speaker 1: a business on Facebook. Okay, there we go.

That'd be fun. I don't even know. 1717 01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if that business would the business your 1718 01:38:57,320 --> 01:39:02,160 Speaker 1: royal Buckness.

That's not ice cream, that's sherbird. 1753 01:40:56,720 --> 01:41:00,679 Speaker 1: I'm dusting.

I mean, this is just 1797 01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:19,600 Speaker 1: such a stupid thing to say. It's so dumb. This 1798 01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:22,639 Speaker 1: is the refuge of very, very dumb people. The sixteen 1799 01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:27,479 Speaker 1: year old is smarter than you are. No, she's really not, so, 1800 01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:30,760 Speaker 1: you know, can we just stop with that.

Okay, 1806 01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:53,000 Speaker 1: that's how I would define smart. Here. There's a reason 1807 01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:55,479 Speaker 1: we don't let sixteen year olds vote. Although, if you're 1808 01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:58,360 Speaker 1: a sixteen year old Nils into this show, you're very smart, 1809 01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:01,599 Speaker 1: and you're smarter than most adults. So thank you, welcome 1810 01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:07,759 Speaker 1: to team Buck. Pleased to have you, uh, Steven Rights. 1811 01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:11,960 Speaker 1: You're not kid bashing your chicken little bashing shields high. Well, 1812 01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:17,960 Speaker 1: thank you, Stephen. I appreciate that. I think that it's 1813 01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:20,400 Speaker 1: it's important that we stand up for what's true. And no, 1814 01:44:21,240 --> 01:44:24,160 Speaker 1: no honest, fair minded person could really believe that I 1815 01:44:24,479 --> 01:44:28,000 Speaker 1: was engaged in kid bashing. It's just not true. It's 1816 01:44:28,080 --> 01:44:32,960 Speaker 1: just not reality. So let's just be honest about that. Um, 1817 01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:40,360 Speaker 1: that's what I'm here for. Here we go. Oh another one, No, 1818 01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:42,719 Speaker 1: this is another angry one. I'm not gonna keep reading 1819 01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:47,439 Speaker 1: the angry ones. Off. All right, we got John who rights? 1820 01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:51,799 Speaker 1: Here we go? Whoa Buck. I really enjoy your radio program. 1821 01:44:52,240 --> 01:44:54,519 Speaker 1: I catch it after Hannity Show on the Patriot Network 1822 01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:58,719 Speaker 1: seven sixty A m. Denver. Whoo. I wanted to comment 1823 01:44:58,760 --> 01:45:01,120 Speaker 1: on something you touch upon the this evening talking about 1824 01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:05,400 Speaker 1: the unique friendship of Judge Ginsburg and Justice Scalia and 1825 01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:08,360 Speaker 1: how it's very unusual today's society. In my opinion, I 1826 01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:11,719 Speaker 1: believe it is the incredible transformation of the Democratic Party. 1827 01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:14,160 Speaker 1: I used to have many friends who are Democrats, and 1828 01:45:14,200 --> 01:45:17,679 Speaker 1: I could have a meaningful dialogue with them, usually disagreeing, 1829 01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:20,759 Speaker 1: uncertain policies. I noticed when I was critical of Obama, 1830 01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:23,760 Speaker 1: I was declared a racist by these same friends who 1831 01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:26,639 Speaker 1: had no problem with me being critical of Clinton. I've 1832 01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:28,960 Speaker 1: been called the white supremacist by these same tolered people 1833 01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:32,360 Speaker 1: just because I'm a supporter of President Trump. I believe 1834 01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:35,000 Speaker 1: a majority of today's Democrats have no problem with socialism, 1835 01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:37,479 Speaker 1: which I want no part of. I do not want 1836 01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:40,040 Speaker 1: to remain friends with people whose political beliefs mirror AOC 1837 01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:43,280 Speaker 1: Sanders and Warren. I wish them no ill will, but 1838 01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:45,200 Speaker 1: I want nothing to do with people who will vote 1839 01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:48,000 Speaker 1: for people like Warren Sanders and show so much disdain 1840 01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:51,000 Speaker 1: for President Trump, regardless of their hearts in the right 1841 01:45:51,040 --> 01:45:54,800 Speaker 1: place they're thinking reasoning is extremely dangerous. I truly believe 1842 01:45:54,880 --> 01:45:57,439 Speaker 1: this coming election is one of liberty versus tyranny. Just 1843 01:45:57,640 --> 01:45:59,719 Speaker 1: my opinion on the subject. Thank you for your service 1844 01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:01,840 Speaker 1: to our country, and have a great rest of week. 1845 01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:06,000 Speaker 1: God bless John, Well John, thank you appreciate you listening 1846 01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:09,960 Speaker 1: to the show. Good to talk to you. Yeah, so 1847 01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:13,920 Speaker 1: that's all good thing. Here we go, Steven doesn't the 1848 01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:17,760 Speaker 1: climate change girl? Oh no, I can't read that. Let's 1849 01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:21,519 Speaker 1: see what else we got here? Woo we have. It's 1850 01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:23,439 Speaker 1: been the role call ever since, ever since I was 1851 01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:26,400 Speaker 1: a child, Basher role call has been a little more 1852 01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:31,160 Speaker 1: spicy Hunter. Let's see what Hunter's got here. Stop with 1853 01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:34,080 Speaker 1: this book and appointment I'm not booking appointments. I know 1854 01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:39,320 Speaker 1: that's just a Facebook thing. But being that you're an 1855 01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:42,160 Speaker 1: actual security expert, I assume this is necessary, especially being 1856 01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:46,920 Speaker 1: considering today's political climate, and it's Mike Pence on Mackinac 1857 01:46:47,080 --> 01:46:52,120 Speaker 1: Island in Michigan with an eight car motorcade the vice president. 1858 01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:54,559 Speaker 1: I mean, look, guys, you know the Lib media freaks 1859 01:46:54,560 --> 01:46:58,800 Speaker 1: out about everything, and what we have here is, you know, 1860 01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:03,440 Speaker 1: the Lib media deciding that the vice president's security considerations 1861 01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:06,479 Speaker 1: don't matter. I guess all of a sudden, you know, look, 1862 01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:08,040 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not in the Secret Service. I don't 1863 01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:10,240 Speaker 1: know how they do specifically this kind of an assessment, 1864 01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:14,639 Speaker 1: but I am quite confident that there are security concerns 1865 01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:17,840 Speaker 1: with having the vice president on an island exposed as 1866 01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:21,120 Speaker 1: he travels around, let's say, on a tricycle the whole time. 1867 01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm willing to bet that's an issue and that was 1868 01:47:24,760 --> 01:47:29,080 Speaker 1: a problem here. Let's see what else we have here. 1869 01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:38,800 Speaker 1: Steve Right the financial collapse. H we got one of these. 1870 01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:42,160 Speaker 1: The financial collapse has begun. It started last Monday when 1871 01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:44,439 Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve began bailing out multiple banks in the 1872 01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:47,240 Speaker 1: repo market, but it wasn't enough. Now the Federal Reserve 1873 01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:50,600 Speaker 1: has committed to continue the bailout by printing money in 1874 01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:52,400 Speaker 1: the billions daily for the next three weeks to save 1875 01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:54,800 Speaker 1: the banks. Without printing new money, the banking system in 1876 01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:57,719 Speaker 1: America would fail eventually, either the banks will or hyper 1877 01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:00,400 Speaker 1: hyperinflation will happen. The latter, is my guest, Steve. I'm 1878 01:48:00,439 --> 01:48:02,639 Speaker 1: just kidding, man. I mean, you could be right, because remember, 1879 01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:05,120 Speaker 1: all the smart people think that they know when there's 1880 01:48:05,160 --> 01:48:08,800 Speaker 1: going to be a terrible event for our economy, and 1881 01:48:08,920 --> 01:48:13,360 Speaker 1: they never seem to actually figure this out in time, right, 1882 01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:17,439 Speaker 1: they never actually know when it's going to be. So 1883 01:48:18,120 --> 01:48:20,240 Speaker 1: that's a problem. Right, If you can't tell beforehand, that's 1884 01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:22,600 Speaker 1: probably not that good. All Right, I'm gonna be on 1885 01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:24,639 Speaker 1: Kennedy on the panel on Fox Business. If you guys 1886 01:48:24,640 --> 01:48:27,160 Speaker 1: want to tune into that.
