<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom Hudge impeachment is here. My friends.

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>You will no doubt remember that I have called this

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>many times on the show. Nancy Pelosi announced it today.

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.240
<v Speaker 1>It will break down what this means for the crazy Democrats,

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>plus the latest on the whistleblower Ukraine, Biden situation, and

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 1>also Trump at the u N That and more coming

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>up on The buck Sexton Show. This is the buck

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Sexton Show where the mission or mission is to decode

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America,

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you're a great American. Again the buck Sexton Show begins.

0:00:51.320 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Remember they did it. They did it, folks, Democrats have

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>gone full crazy. Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Great

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>to have you here, and honor and a privilege. As

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.400
<v Speaker 1>always those who have been listening to me for a while.

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Now that I've been saying all along, I just don't

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>like to repeat my predictions. Just like I've been telling

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>you Biden's not going to be the nominee. I'm looking

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty good on that one. I've also told you many

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>times that they're going to impeach. They can't help it,

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>They're going to impeach the president. Guess what Nancy Pelosi

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:32.199
<v Speaker 1>today announced they're beginning an impeachment inquiry, which just means

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>that they're now trying to add some legitimacy, trying to

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>add some sense of of process to what is nothing

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.759
<v Speaker 1>more than a temper tantrum three years in the making

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>from a Democrat left that is unhinged and increasingly I

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>think obviously unwell. You had Pelosi today giving a bit

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>of a meandering and stumbling press conference, which I suppose

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>is not surprising. She had been alluding to this all day.

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>She had some conference at the Atlantic Monthly, a left

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>wing rag that presents itself with fancy prose, and decided

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>that she was going to give us a little sense

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>of what was coming up. But now we've actually heard

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>it from Pelosi. They are now going to impeach the president.

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're saying it's a an inquiry. Does anyone

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>really believe that they're going to start an impeachment inquiry

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:40.959
<v Speaker 1>and there won't actually be an impeachment. I mean, we'll

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about a waste of everyone's time. Now, I'm not

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>saying that Democrats are above wasting time, but it's not

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>good politics for them. They're going to have to they're

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>going to impeach this president. It's interesting, isn't it. Last

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>week they were going to impeach Brett Kavanaugh. But then anybody,

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 1>anybody who is honest and has above a second grade

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>reading level, figured out really quickly that it was a sham,

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>that it was a scam, and that it was a

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>lie that they were trying to once again perpetrate against

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Brett Kavanaugh. So now they've moved on to this. Before

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.519
<v Speaker 1>I let you hear from Madame's speaker herself, Nancy Pelosis,

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>she announced this because I want you to know exactly

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 1>what they're saying, because we have to discuss where they're

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>going to take this. I would like it to be

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>very clear for all of us that they have moved

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 1>to impeachment on the basis of an incident that they

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>do not know any of the details of yet for themselves,

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>they do not know what was said. They're basing this

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>on a conversation that a person in the intelligence community

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>complained about that they heard about secondhand, and without knowing

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the facts, they have decided to go ahead and start

0:03:56.040 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>this impeachment inquiry without understanding what really went on here.

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>They've decided that they should push for maximum impact right away.

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:17.039
<v Speaker 1>First you have Pelosi doing the usual, the usual nonsense

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>about how this president is owed just such a violation

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Constitution. Everything, his every breath is a violation

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>of the Constitution. The Intelligent Community Inspector General formally notified

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 1>the Congress that the administration was forbidding him from turning

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>over a whistleblower complaint on Constitution Day. This is a

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>violation of law. Shortly thereafter, press reports began to break

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>of a phone call by the President of the United

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 1>States calling upon a foreign power to intervene in his election.

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>This is a breach of his constitutional responsibilities. The facts

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>are these. I just want to pause there and notice

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>how she's immediately ties us to Russia collusion in some way,

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>just rhetorically. This is Ukraine, different country. Not the Democrats

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>really care. Facts don't really matter to them, but that

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 1>he called on foreign interference in the election. Oh, they've

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.040
<v Speaker 1>they've already. That's the talking point, right, that's the charge again.

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>This is another another time that they're going to say

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>that President Trump wants foreign interference in the election. Good heavens,

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 1>what will we do? And then she goes on the

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Intelligence Community Inspector General, who is appointed by President Trump,

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 1>determined that the complaint is both of urgent concern and credible,

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and it's disclosure, he went on to say, relates to

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the most significant important of the Director of

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 1>National Intelligence is responsibility to the American people. So so

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 1>this is important for you to know as well. The

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>appointed by Trump thing. This is like when they used

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:05.599
<v Speaker 1>to say that Muller was a Republican. Comey was a

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Republican is meaningless. Comey was actually a comy as still

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>along as we found out, and Muller was a figurehead

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>for a left wing hatchet job operation against Trump. And

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>some of the people that hate Trump the most are

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>in fact Republicans, are former Republicans, in the cases of

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>people who write for that dumpster Fire, the Bulwark and

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>other places right former Republicans. Now they're fighting for the

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>other team because you know they didn't. If they can't

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>have the leadership of the Republican Party, nobody can. And

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 1>that's the never Trump rallying cry. Now better to have

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the better to have the socialists in charge than Trump.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 1>But I'm still a Republican, they say, Please, It's embarrassing

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>for everybody. Most of all of them. But Pelosi says

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.799
<v Speaker 1>things here that are plainly not in evidence. Think about

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the recklessness of this moving to an impeachment hearing based

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>on what is effectively a rumor reported on by anti

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Trump newspapers. That's what they're doing here with impeachment. They're

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>going based on a rumor. Here is Speaker Pelosi. Remember

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>this just happened at five eastern Today's We've got what

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>is essentially breaking news for you here just in the

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>last hour. Here's what Speaker Pelosi had to say about

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the whistleblower complaint. For more than twenty five years, I've

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>served on the Intelligence Committee as a member, as the

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>ranking member, as part of the Gang of Four, even

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>before I was in the leadership. I was there when

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>we created the Office of the Director of National Intelligence

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>that did not exist before two thousand and four. I

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>was there even earlier in the nineties when we wrote

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the Whistleblower Laws and continued to write them to improve them,

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>to ensure the security of our intelligence and the safety

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>of our whistleblowers. I know what their purpose was, and

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>we proceeded with balance and caution as we wrote the laws.

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I can set with authority the Trump administration's actions undermine

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>both our national security and our intelligence and our protections

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>of the whistle blowers more than both. So so I

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>can say with authority that Nancy Pelosi has no idea

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>what she's talking about. She doesn't know, she doesn't know.

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>And what I meant to say before was bringing up

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>this whistle blower that he was. I'm not the whistle blower.

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>The inspector general. He's appointed by Trump. He's a functionary,

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>he's a bureaucrat. We don't know this guy is Trump

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't Yeah, sure, this guy is the one that you

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>know that the president can't know the heart of every

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 1>person and every single job that's that's a presidential point

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.840
<v Speaker 1>of the administration. They do a little due diligence. Sure

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 1>they try to look at the record, but you know,

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>he's the inspector general for the intelligence community. I mean,

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not the Secretary of State. You do what you can.

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>And more importantly, Pelosi doesn't know what was said on

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>this phone call, doesn't even know, and she's going forward

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.680
<v Speaker 1>with this. Ah, but we all know what this is.

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.839
<v Speaker 1>This is politics for a desperate Democratic party. You know

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:10.079
<v Speaker 1>why they're so worried Biden's starting to slip. Biden is

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>neck and neck, even behind in some polls. I'm seeing

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>in Iowa, New Hampshire to Warren. If there's a changing

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.319
<v Speaker 1>of the guard. The Democratic Party feels very uncertain about it.

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:26.199
<v Speaker 1>Warden perhaps Warren perhaps is a little too radical, a

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 1>too left wing for the general electorate. What are they

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>going to do? Oh, they need to They need to

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>stack the deck. You see, how do they stack the

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 1>deck against Trump? Ah? Yes, impeachmentt That'll do it, That'll

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>make it work. They think the actions taken to date

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:48.719
<v Speaker 1>by the President have seriously violated the Constitution, especially when

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the president says Article too says I can do whatever

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I want. For the past several months, we have been

0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>investigating in our committees and litigating in the so the

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>House can gather all the relevant facts and consider whether

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to exercise its full Article one powers, including a constitutional

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>power of the utmost gravity approval of articles of impeachment.

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>And this week the President has admitted to asking the

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 1>President of Ukraine to take actions which would benefit him politically.

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>The action of the actions of the Trump presidency revealed

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the dishonorable fact of the President's betrayal of his oath

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 1>of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:40.679
<v Speaker 1>the integrity of our elections. Therefore, today I'm announcing the

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 1>House of Represents moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry.

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm directing our six committees to proceed with their investigations

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry. The president must be

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>held accountable. Is above the law. Hillary Clinton's above a law.

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 1>But that's a question for another time. I guess Nancy

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Pelosi is an ethical and political disgrace. What's the charge, Nancy?

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 1>What she keeps saying, endangered our national security, endangers our elections,

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 1>endangers this endangers that. Okay, Nancy, what's the charge? What

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>exactly did he do? She doesn't know. Oh, but she

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>says he admitted. What did he admit to, Nancy? He

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>admitted to telling a foreign head of state to look

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>into corruption in his country. Well, that seems completely legitimate.

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>If a corollary of that, if a secondary effect of

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that is that somebody who is Biden's family member is

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe going to get into a little bit of trouble.

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:51.439
<v Speaker 1>We don't know yet, too bad. What is the illegality

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.439
<v Speaker 1>because it benefits him politically. I got news for you.

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>If that's the standard, everything a president tries to do,

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:02.840
<v Speaker 1>he wants to do to benefit him politically. Presidents don't

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>do things, generally speaking, that don't benefit them politically. Oh

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, I'm you know. We must have articles of

0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>impeachment against President Trump. He wants to end the war

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 1>in Afghanistan just because he wants to see his poll

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 1>numbers go up. You could make that argument, but then

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you'd also be making the argument that the president doesn't

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>have any constitutional authority at all to do anything. They

0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.079
<v Speaker 1>keep doing this. They think they can bludgeon us with

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>narrative and fake newsmen going on tv J and blah blah.

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:38.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm putting all these absolutely maniacal anti Trump so called

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>legal analysts who are just pundit clowns who say things

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that are wrong over and over again. They're proven wrong

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>over and over again, and they just keep shoveling them

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 1>at the American people because the Democratic Party is unwell.

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 1>They've lost it. Trump's arrangement syndrome has reached critical mass.

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>They don't know how to deal with the world as

0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>it actually is, so now they've concocted this whole theory.

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>And I've played for the audio from Nancy Pelosi herself.

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>What did the president? What's the violation? Just because she

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 1>says that she doesn't like it, there's a violation. What's

0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 1>the crime. I've heard people on TV, on MSNBC, somebody

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.839
<v Speaker 1>said treason, treason? How getting rid of corruption? Maybe Joe

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Biden's son should have been taken fifty thousand dollars a

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>month from one of the most corrupt governments. Are really

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 1>ruins corrupt, I should say, companies in one of the

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.559
<v Speaker 1>most corrupt governments in one of the most corrupt countries

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 1>in the entire Eurasian land masks. You know, maybe that's

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>an issue to look at just a little bit. It's madness,

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 1>But this is where we are. I'm just beginning. As

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.200
<v Speaker 1>you can tell, it's gotten me a little bit fired up.

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I am just beginning to fight. We'll be right back

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the future. About democracy is a state that come a

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>time when you have to be moved by a spirit

0:13:55.960 --> 0:14:00.560
<v Speaker 1>of history to take action to protect and desert tegatory

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:06.319
<v Speaker 1>of my nation. I believe, I truly believe the time

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 1>to begin impeachment proceeding against this president has come. To

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>delay or to do otherwise, we're betrayed the foundation of

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 1>my democracy. You knew that impeachment was coming when Representative

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Lewis here decided that he was going to give this

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>speech this morning, and that's when they were they're adding

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>up the votes, and then the Congressional Black Caucus moved

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>into the yes column, and then you just knew, okay,

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.440
<v Speaker 1>now that they're they've got the votes. Why now, though,

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 1>of all the things Trump has been accused of, remember

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>they had the ten possible instances we've heard so much,

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the ten possible instances of obstruction of justice. This is

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>what they think that this is the straw that broke

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the camel's back. This is the one that pushed it

0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 1>too far that the president. They don't know. We keep

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 1>saying that the President did or said, they don't know,

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>We don't know. We'll get into the whole transcript release

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>fight in a second, but it's absolutely utterly insane that

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>they would Why would they do this? Why would they

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.800
<v Speaker 1>push now when the transcript the President has said it

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 1>is going to be released. I believe tomorrow. Tomorrow, I

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>think is when the transcript is supposed to come out. Yeah,

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>that's what the President has said why do it in

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>advance on the transcript? Ah, you know why, folks, This

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 1>was all about just getting enough Democrats to cross the

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 1>impeachment rubicon. That was the purpose all along, that once

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>they're on the other side of the river, it's never coming.

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>It's never going to change. Now they all have to

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>go through with it. So this was more than anything else,

0:15:56.120 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a media and far left Democrat pressure campaign that finally

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>worked enough that there's no turning back. They're gonna have

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to now see this thing through. They're going to drag

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.479
<v Speaker 1>the country while we have the clown show of Democrat

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 1>candidates just saying idiotic things looking entirely unserious as who

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 1>could or should be the next leader of the free world.

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>But they're going to have the whole country stuck on

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 1>whether or not impeachment is going to happen when we

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 1>all know that this is just like I told you.

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 1>And I don't like to be that guy that says

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I told you, I told you, But if you if

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>you go back to certainly this past summer, I was

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 1>saying that impeachment was going to happen because the Democrats

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 1>are crazy, and I understand what crazy Democrats do. But

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 1>now we have to all understand there's no way they

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 1>don't hold the vote and impeach this president. They're not

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 1>going to get the two thirds they need in the

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Senator remove him, not even close. But now this is

0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 1>going to become a political fixation for the Democrats, and

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:04.399
<v Speaker 1>it is really just one big OPO effort against the

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.560
<v Speaker 1>President to put him on defense while the Democrats figure

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 1>out which style of socialists they're going to put forward.

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, who is going to take the mantle of

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.440
<v Speaker 1>anti Trump savior of our democracy. They keep saying these things,

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:22.159
<v Speaker 1>savior of our democracy. It's like they don't live in America,

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a country that is right now at peace, that is prosperous,

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:31.360
<v Speaker 1>that by all observable metrics, is doing quite well. Yet

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.479
<v Speaker 1>we don't hear anything about that, right. All we hear

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 1>about is our democracy is under threat. Why I voted

0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.879
<v Speaker 1>for President Trump a lot? Have you voted a vast majority?

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Have you voted for President Trump? Well? In what ways?

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>A democracy under threat? Oh? I'm sorry. The people who

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:52.119
<v Speaker 1>have done nothing other than try to run the most

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:57.440
<v Speaker 1>bad faith, shameless investigations of this president possible to stop him,

0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to destroy his presidency, they now want to lecture the

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:07.640
<v Speaker 1>rest of us in just what exactly, what exactly fair

0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.679
<v Speaker 1>play looks like. I don't think so. After the special

0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:14.360
<v Speaker 1>counsel that never should have happened, After all the congressional

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 1>inquiries and hearings, it never should have happened, the nonsense

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 1>around the twenty fifth Amendment, they're going to remove him.

0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they have tried cou's against this president, and

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>now they want to tell us that he can't play

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bare knuckle politics of his own and have

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 1>somebody remember he didn't say throw Biden's son in prison,

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.359
<v Speaker 1>he said investigate. We're told we'll get back into this

0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:41.800
<v Speaker 1>in a moment. Yes, I believe that the transcript should

0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 1>be released. I believe that in particular right now, the

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.399
<v Speaker 1>House committees are are asking for it, and they should

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>be granted that. Listen, again, this gets back to an

0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 1>erosion of our democracy. Donald Trump is trying to play

0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.840
<v Speaker 1>politics with this issue, and he is trying to collaborate

0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.760
<v Speaker 1>with and conspire with a foreign leader to interfere in

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:08.920
<v Speaker 1>our democracy, and I will I have absolutely no support

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.119
<v Speaker 1>for that. And I believe that that this is a

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:16.240
<v Speaker 1>political tactic being waged by Donald Trump because he obviously

0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.919
<v Speaker 1>perceives a threat that is a political threat, and I

0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 1>have no support for it whatsoever. I just need to

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 1>understand how all these Democrats can speak about this like

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 1>they know what is in the transcript that they have

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 1>not read. We've skipped right past this, and you saw

0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 1>how this was set up on Saturday. Well, you know,

0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.160
<v Speaker 1>you know Jake Chopper will well excuse me, he kind

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 1>of sounds like that. Well, you know, I just want

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:41.640
<v Speaker 1>to know, like what's going You know, if Don Junior

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.440
<v Speaker 1>was being investigated by that, you know, you're like, all right,

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 1>so we're just gonna pretend like we know this is

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.840
<v Speaker 1>what happened, even though we don't know what happened. And

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 1>after all these months we've had of Democrats saying, whoa

0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:54.520
<v Speaker 1>hold on, we have to wait for the facts here,

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.520
<v Speaker 1>we have to wait and see, you know what's going on.

0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Hold on a minute, hold on a second. To that,

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I just say, huh, So now they don't have we

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.159
<v Speaker 1>waited all this time, they don't have the facts, and

0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.400
<v Speaker 1>yet they're moving to impeachment. Let's also just the transcript.

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 1>The President has said that he will release the transcript.

0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:24.920
<v Speaker 1>What reason could there possibly be other than what I've

0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:26.639
<v Speaker 1>already said about how you just need you need to

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 1>get Democrats to commit so they can't turn around. You

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:32.240
<v Speaker 1>need them to get to they have to scuttle their

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 1>ships on impeachment. They didn't actually Cortes didn't light them

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 1>on fire. As you know, he's scuttled them. It's different.

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:44.639
<v Speaker 1>And the President has said that he will release this transcript.

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:49.680
<v Speaker 1>So why aren't we seeing Why aren't we seeing more

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.719
<v Speaker 1>of a an effort to at least hold back until

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 1>we know what's in them? Why go now? Because it's

0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 1>not really about what's in them, It's about the narrative,

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you see. I love how the as soon as the

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:02.800
<v Speaker 1>President had said earlier today he had tweeted out that

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 1>he was that he was going to release it, all

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:11.200
<v Speaker 1>of it. It went from release the transcript, why won't

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.080
<v Speaker 1>you release the transcript? What are you covering up? Democrats

0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 1>were saying that the media was all saying that too.

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, you can't release the transcript. What if

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 1>foreign leaders don't trust you anymore on phone calls? And

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 1>also you know what if the American people just can't

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.159
<v Speaker 1>handle what's in there? I mean, they just change all

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:29.959
<v Speaker 1>the time. They have no principles folks. It's just all

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.920
<v Speaker 1>emotions and nastiness. And they've convinced themselves that Trump is

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 1>the worst person since Hitler, maybe as bad as Hitler.

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:40.440
<v Speaker 1>So anything is justified. I mean, the President's clearly just

0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:42.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, I was gonna say he's got to be

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.640
<v Speaker 1>frazzled by all this, He's got to be rattled. But

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 1>now this president loves a fight, God bless him. He's

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:51.760
<v Speaker 1>just gonna say, you know what, fine, dig in, let's go,

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:55.399
<v Speaker 1>let's see what you got. He was tweeting right after

0:21:56.040 --> 0:22:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Nancy's speech, but he did Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff and of

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>course Maxine Waters. Can you believe this? They never even

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 1>saw the transcript of the call a total witch hunt

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:17.399
<v Speaker 1>and then in all caps presidential harassment. Yeah, that is,

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:21.919
<v Speaker 1>that is what is going on. So I think that's her.

0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.479
<v Speaker 1>By the way, He also tweeted earlier in the day,

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:27.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm currently at the United Nations representing our country, but

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>have authorized the release tomorrow of the complete, fully declassified,

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>an unredacted transcript of my phone conversation with President Zelenski

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 1>of Ukraine. You will see it was a very friendly

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and totally appropriate call. No pressure and unlike Joe Biden

0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and his son. No quid pro quo. This is nothing

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:46.399
<v Speaker 1>more than a continuation of the greatest and most destructive

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 1>witch hunt of all time. Speaking of quid pro quos,

0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 1>here's the president on that point, get other people to pay,

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and then everybody called me, oh please, can we pay?

0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 1>And there was never any quid pro quo. The letter

0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:05.160
<v Speaker 1>was beautiful, It was a perfect letter. It was unlike Biden, who,

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>by the way, what he said was a horror and

0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:12.680
<v Speaker 1>ask how his son made millions of dollars from Ukraine,

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:16.080
<v Speaker 1>made millions of dollars from China even though he had

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:20.000
<v Speaker 1>no expertise whatsoever. Okay, so what he did was a

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:23.679
<v Speaker 1>real problem with us. There was no pressure applied, no nothing,

0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 1>No pressure applied, no nothing. What is the president's What

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:35.359
<v Speaker 1>is the liability here? What law did he break? What

0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 1>did they don't even know? Folks, This is the Democrat

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 1>This is actually a desperation move the Democrats. They sure

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:44.399
<v Speaker 1>they're lashing out, so at some level it has the

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:48.000
<v Speaker 1>appearance of putting them on offense, but they don't have

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the goods if they did. And I think I would

0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 1>note that what's going to be in that transcript will

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:58.160
<v Speaker 1>be entirely defensible and perhaps even just a nothing burger.

0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 1>But Democrats will say, well, there's a million other reasons

0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:03.840
<v Speaker 1>we impeach them. It doesn't matter. They're impervious to facts.

0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't matter what

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 1>you present them with. That today it was all about

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:12.720
<v Speaker 1>this phone call that they don't know what was said,

0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:16.800
<v Speaker 1>but they've heard, you know, through layers and layers. This

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:18.440
<v Speaker 1>is like the game telephone when you're a kid. They've

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:21.680
<v Speaker 1>heard through layers of it being passed down that oh,

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:25.439
<v Speaker 1>something bad happened. But instead of waiting until they know

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 1>they did this, because now that they've gotten impeachment proceedings rolling,

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:33.400
<v Speaker 1>they'll they'll just shoehorn in whatever they have to about Trump. Okay,

0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 1>well this letter wasn't as bad as we thought. But

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:39.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, Russia collusion and obstruction or okay, you know,

0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:44.119
<v Speaker 1>maybe the pressure campaign that Trump used against the Ukrainian

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:46.919
<v Speaker 1>president to do something that. Does anyone think that what

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:50.120
<v Speaker 1>he said is wrong or illegal in any way? Forget

0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:52.959
<v Speaker 1>about illegal? Is it even wrong? Why can't the president

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:57.359
<v Speaker 1>of the United States tell a Ukrainian counterpart, Hey, I

0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:59.440
<v Speaker 1>really want you to look into some corruption in your

0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:03.479
<v Speaker 1>country by. The prosecutors play this game in America all

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the time. They go after targets that are political targets.

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 1>It happens all the time. Just ask Scott Walker, Chris Christie,

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Rick Perry, Bob McDonnell, Scooter Libby, get down this. This

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 1>happens all the time. And what they always say is, oh,

0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 1>but even if there's a political implication, it doesn't mean

0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:25.480
<v Speaker 1>that the underlying investigation is tainted. Oh okay, Well that's

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:30.239
<v Speaker 1>good to know, but it's also very obviously in some

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:36.160
<v Speaker 1>cases not true, which then raises the question for us, Well,

0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:38.879
<v Speaker 1>hold on a second, why is it any different here

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 1>with Trump? Why are we in a situation, Why are

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:44.920
<v Speaker 1>we in a circumstance that, you know, the President of

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:49.440
<v Speaker 1>the United States isn't allowed to exercise his authority under

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the Constitution to conduct foreign relations because remember it's not

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 1>even Joe Biden, it's remember Joe Biden's family. You know,

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:59.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe Hunter Biden shouldn't have been a run around

0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine when his dad is the point man for policy

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.240
<v Speaker 1>in Ukraine. I mean, can we step back from this

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 1>for a second. There are one hundred and ninety seven

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:09.679
<v Speaker 1>countries in the world. I think maybe one hundred ninety five,

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:13.800
<v Speaker 1>depends on how you count them, but roughly one hundred

0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:18.560
<v Speaker 1>and ninety seven. Okay. Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, when

0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:21.120
<v Speaker 1>he's the vice president, magically gets put on the board

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:24.639
<v Speaker 1>of a company that is under intense pressure for corruption.

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 1>And there are people with tens, perhaps hundreds of millions

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:32.440
<v Speaker 1>of dollars at stake, depending on how this corruption investigation

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:36.600
<v Speaker 1>shakes out, And we are to believe that Hunter Biden,

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:40.159
<v Speaker 1>the vice president's son, is put on their board because

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:45.400
<v Speaker 1>he's such a good lawyer, because he understands international deal

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:48.200
<v Speaker 1>making so well. I mean, he had been a public

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 1>affairs officer and I think it was the Navy and

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:54.879
<v Speaker 1>didn't last a year because he had a positive cocaine test.

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 1>So why exactly is this guy getting fifty thousand dollars

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:05.439
<v Speaker 1>a month from Barisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company. Anyone

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>want to try to take a guess? Oh, they say, well,

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:09.600
<v Speaker 1>there's no quid pro quote. First of all, how do

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:14.919
<v Speaker 1>you know that? We don't know? Could be right? Democrats

0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 1>have this standard with Trump at his tax returns. Oh,

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:19.399
<v Speaker 1>we need to see the tax returns. Federal government already

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:21.360
<v Speaker 1>has it. Oh we need to see it for ourselves.

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:25.120
<v Speaker 1>So for them, more investigation is always a legitimate line

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 1>of it. We just need more invest Why are you

0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:30.800
<v Speaker 1>opposed to getting to the truth. We just need more investigation. Okay, well,

0:27:30.840 --> 0:27:33.320
<v Speaker 1>we want more investigation about what was going on when

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:35.199
<v Speaker 1>the vice president saw was getting paid a whole lot

0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of money to sit on a board of a company

0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:38.840
<v Speaker 1>that was under a lot of pressure and that was

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 1>at the intersection of US and Ukrainian foreign policy? What

0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:47.240
<v Speaker 1>about that? What about that is so strange or so surprising?

0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I would offer you answers nothing, But you know what

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:53.359
<v Speaker 1>is surprising is that we are supposed to believe that

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:57.719
<v Speaker 1>anyone thinks that we're going to believe that Hunter Biden

0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't getting paid off in one way or another. People say,

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:03.879
<v Speaker 1>there wasn't a quit pro quot. Okay, well, then he

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:07.560
<v Speaker 1>was an insurance policy. Think about this, if you if

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you're the director of this company, you know, the CEO

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:16.160
<v Speaker 1>of Barisma, and you can put the vice president's son

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:20.159
<v Speaker 1>on your board for a cool fifty thousand month, and

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:22.160
<v Speaker 1>that may mean that you don't go to prison and

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:26.159
<v Speaker 1>or you don't lose a few hundred million dollars that

0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:29.000
<v Speaker 1>seems like a really good investment, doesn't it. Even if

0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you're not sure exactly what he's going to do. You

0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:33.240
<v Speaker 1>got the vice president's son on your board. That buys

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 1>you some credibility. It's an insurance policy. It's the appearance

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:41.600
<v Speaker 1>of access, it's the appearance of invulnerability. And that's the

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:43.240
<v Speaker 1>part of this that you have to remember. That's the

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:46.440
<v Speaker 1>part of this that you can't just let let's slide

0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>out of you. I've been saying it all along. I mean,

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:53.120
<v Speaker 1>this is what they do not have an answer for.

0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:58.360
<v Speaker 1>They cannot explain why is it exactly that this is

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 1>going on? Why would Joe Biden's son be on this board?

0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Does anyone want to try to take a stab at

0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:08.560
<v Speaker 1>that one? Oh? I guess they don't know. They can't

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:12.040
<v Speaker 1>figure out the answer to that question. We'll be right back,

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:15.719
<v Speaker 1>All right, team, We are joined by our friend Chadwick

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Moore today on the show. Chadwick is over at Spectator USA.

0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:22.360
<v Speaker 1>He's a columnist, he's a pundit. You often see him

0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:26.960
<v Speaker 1>on Fox News. We also did a fantastic duo speech

0:29:27.000 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 1>here in New York City a week ago for the

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 1>New York Republicans Club. Chadwick great to have you on

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the show for the first time, sir, great to be here, Buck,

0:29:34.040 --> 0:29:36.239
<v Speaker 1>thanks for having me. And it was a fantastic night

0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the other night. Yeah, we rocked a house. That's how

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:40.800
<v Speaker 1>we roll. So man, speaking of speaking of rock in

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the house, Nancy Pelosi, you see that transition, smooth as silk.

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi, she's gone full crazy and she's decided that

0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:53.360
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna go forward with an impeachment inquiry, which means,

0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 1>guess what, they are going to impeach this because I

0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:58.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like, now what they're gonna have the inquiry, They're

0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:02.920
<v Speaker 1>not gonna hold an impeachment vote. Come on, yeah, what

0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:06.920
<v Speaker 1>what on earth are they thinking? When we're approaching an

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:10.400
<v Speaker 1>election year and the Democrats are already branded as they

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:16.000
<v Speaker 1>do nothing, failed party, going from Russia Gate to a

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 1>quick hot second of impeach Kavanaugh to impeach Trump. Do

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:22.800
<v Speaker 1>they think this is going to play well in an

0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:25.480
<v Speaker 1>election year? You know? One thing is that you know,

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:28.200
<v Speaker 1>people say in the mid terms that Republicans didn't turn

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 1>out the Democrats basically, Kate, they exhausted their votes. You

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:34.160
<v Speaker 1>know that everyone came out in the mid terms and

0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 1>they sort of barely made a slight, slight demand says, well,

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 1>if there's anything that's going to get Republicans out to

0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:42.720
<v Speaker 1>the polls in twenty twenty, it's going to be if

0:30:42.720 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats try to impeach President Trump. I mean, this

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:48.600
<v Speaker 1>is just madness. Though in a Pelosi she had this

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:50.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of rambling. By the way, we're gonna start talking

0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 1>about age limits, maybe there needs to be a Speaker

0:30:52.200 --> 0:30:55.080
<v Speaker 1>of the House age limit because Pelosi looked like she was,

0:30:55.280 --> 0:30:57.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, on another plans at some points during her

0:30:57.200 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>speech there. But anyway Pelosi's saying, she talks about the

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:04.680
<v Speaker 1>founders and then how Trump has undermine our national security?

0:31:04.920 --> 0:31:08.080
<v Speaker 1>How can she say all these things when she does

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:12.200
<v Speaker 1>not know what happened in this whistleblower complaint at all?

0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 1>She does, she has no inside knowledges whatsoever. From what

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 1>we understand. She just reads the newspapers just like the

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 1>rest of us. You're absolutely right, And maybe it's the

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Speaker of the House. To your earlier point, we should

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 1>call her the sol of the House. That seems that

0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 1>whenever she gives a speech, she has no idea what's

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:30.560
<v Speaker 1>going on. And I believe I just saw Trump said

0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:33.000
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be releasing the full transcripts of the

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 1>phone call with the Ukrainian officials, so that might really

0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:38.880
<v Speaker 1>take the wind out of the sales. Here, they are

0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:41.800
<v Speaker 1>dramatically trying to shift all the focus off of the

0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 1>inquiry into Joe Biden, into Hunter Biden when Joe was

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 1>vice president. This is this is a hail Mary for them.

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 1>What have they got? They have absolutely nothing. It's just wild, man.

0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming. I'm all these democrats were like, there's so

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 1>much to impeach him on. I'm always like, okay, looks

0:32:00.640 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 1>so much. Let's say, okay, why they're oh my gosh, like, guys,

0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>come on, it shouldn't be that hard. I thought it

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:11.040
<v Speaker 1>was Russia. Oh now it's the Ukrainian whistleblower phone call.

0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 1>These people are crazy, man, They're just they're just in

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:16.080
<v Speaker 1>another planet. But you know, we real quick, Chadwick. I

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 1>mean we got to the president was at the u

0:32:17.680 --> 0:32:20.000
<v Speaker 1>N today, and you know, this is a president who

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and this is gonna be a part of the twenty

0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:23.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty narrative. You know that just as well as I do.

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 1>He's constantly called a racist, a homophobe, a big in

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:33.280
<v Speaker 1>all these different things. Meanwhile, here's what the President said

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 1>today at the United Nations in fun of representatives from

0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of countries where there's real homophobia, real bigotry

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:41.960
<v Speaker 1>in a way that we don't see in this country.

0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Play clip. As we defend American values, we affirmed the

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 1>right of all people to live in dignity. For this reason,

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:58.800
<v Speaker 1>my administration is working with other nations systop criminalizing of homosexuality.

0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 1>And we stand in solidarity with lg VTQ people who

0:33:05.920 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 1>live in countries that punish, jail or execute individuals based

0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:15.760
<v Speaker 1>upon sexual orientation. Chad, does the gay community give the president?

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:18.880
<v Speaker 1>The LGBTQ community, he seems to have trouble with the acronym,

0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:21.400
<v Speaker 1>but it's a long acronym, you know, But do they

0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 1>ever give him any any credit for what is what

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:27.600
<v Speaker 1>is the moral stand here that other presidents, it seems,

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:29.800
<v Speaker 1>have been very hesitant to take, which is, it doesn't

0:33:29.800 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 1>matter what country you're in, you know, you can't imprison

0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 1>gays or you know, in some of the Islamic countries,

0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:38.040
<v Speaker 1>throw them off roofs or bury them under rocks, or

0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 1>any of these things. That's a horrific human rights violation.

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:43.240
<v Speaker 1>The President speaking out on this, does he get any

0:33:43.240 --> 0:33:47.680
<v Speaker 1>credit absolutely not. In fact, I was just I just

0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 1>now clicked over to the Advocate magazine, my former employer,

0:33:51.680 --> 0:33:54.160
<v Speaker 1>where I used to do most of their big cover stories.

0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 1>They have me blocked on Twitter. But their headline about

0:33:57.560 --> 0:33:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the speech on the on the front trade spash is

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:05.719
<v Speaker 1>a boring un speech proves he uses LGBTQ people LGBTQ

0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 1>lives as pawns. Um they have. When this was so,

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:12.879
<v Speaker 1>this initiative, it's seventy one nations where it's currently criminalized

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:17.480
<v Speaker 1>to be gay. Six of those nations murder homosexuals, and

0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:19.799
<v Speaker 1>the initiative is headed up by Rick Rnelle, our our

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 1>ambassador to Germany, who's openly gay, the highest ever openly

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:27.920
<v Speaker 1>gay official in uh in the government. And um, you know,

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the approach to this is it's basically seventy one different

0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:34.560
<v Speaker 1>plans for each country, and it involves using leverage in

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:37.040
<v Speaker 1>trade and and things like this. It's not you know,

0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>sort of going in and you know it's it's a

0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:42.800
<v Speaker 1>negotiation and it's trade and using leverage. Uh So. But

0:34:42.920 --> 0:34:45.759
<v Speaker 1>the gay media when this was first a noun Um

0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Out magazine, which is the other big gay magazine, ran

0:34:48.920 --> 0:34:53.279
<v Speaker 1>a headline thing that the criminalization efforts of homosexuality are

0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:58.040
<v Speaker 1>actually racist. That was in the headline. Um, they don't

0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 1>know what to make of this guy, because he's clearly

0:35:01.840 --> 0:35:05.880
<v Speaker 1>not homophobic. He's a New York City Manhattan businessman. Have

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:09.279
<v Speaker 1>you ever met an actual rich businessman in New York

0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:12.440
<v Speaker 1>who's sincerely homophobic. He's had gay people around him his

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 1>entire life. Obviously, there's plenty of homosexuals dressing Milannia, and

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:20.200
<v Speaker 1>they give him no credit. They give her no credit

0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:23.279
<v Speaker 1>for how gorgeous she is and her great style. And

0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>they simply can't because these these organizations and these media sites,

0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:29.719
<v Speaker 1>they're no longer. They don't care about gay people. They

0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:32.239
<v Speaker 1>are not. That's not what they're about anymore. They are

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:36.600
<v Speaker 1>just another propaganda wing of the Democrat Party and increasingly

0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:40.239
<v Speaker 1>of the far left of the sort of neomarxists in

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:44.239
<v Speaker 1>academia and in Hollywood and in the media. So that's

0:35:44.280 --> 0:35:47.800
<v Speaker 1>that their goal anymore. They don't have anything after gay marriage, especially,

0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:50.719
<v Speaker 1>they were left with nothing else to fight for, you know,

0:35:50.840 --> 0:35:55.160
<v Speaker 1>civil rights were achieved, and instead they've taken on these

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:58.839
<v Speaker 1>other issues that go well beyond what they're stated purposes.

0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:02.240
<v Speaker 1>And it's no more clear than how they treat uh

0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:07.080
<v Speaker 1>these um uh President Trump's uh, the administration's initiatives to

0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:11.320
<v Speaker 1>decriminalizes the President Trump also just partnered with Gilead, the

0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:16.040
<v Speaker 1>pharmaceutical company which produces a drug that prevents HIV infection,

0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to give two hundred thousand Americans who are who are

0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:24.520
<v Speaker 1>vulnerable to contracting HIV free access to the drug because

0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:27.720
<v Speaker 1>the drugs about a thousand dollars a month um. Total

0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:29.839
<v Speaker 1>silence on the gay leap, total silence in the gay

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:33.080
<v Speaker 1>media on that. Um. So he can't win with them.

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 1>But you know it doesn't matter if the advocates claiming

0:36:36.560 --> 0:36:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that that he's using them as hawns. Well, you know,

0:36:40.320 --> 0:36:44.560
<v Speaker 1>LGBT is four percent of the population. Um. Is he

0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:47.240
<v Speaker 1>really vined for those four percent of the boats? Wouldn't

0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:51.920
<v Speaker 1>he do better to pander to evangelicals? No? He Instead,

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:55.120
<v Speaker 1>he is doing something he believes in and that his ambassador,

0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 1>one of his one of his favorite members of the administration,

0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:00.719
<v Speaker 1>also believes in. And he's sharing long with that. He

0:37:00.760 --> 0:37:02.759
<v Speaker 1>did not have to say that in that say that

0:37:02.840 --> 0:37:05.880
<v Speaker 1>in the speech today, and he did. Yeah. And it

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:07.960
<v Speaker 1>also brings up how the left, the left doesn't know

0:37:07.960 --> 0:37:11.520
<v Speaker 1>how to how to balance its wokeness with predominantly non

0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:15.040
<v Speaker 1>white Muslim countries that are truly and viciously, as a

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:18.960
<v Speaker 1>matter of law, bigoted against the LGBT community. The Left

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:21.200
<v Speaker 1>hasn't figured out how to how to make sense of

0:37:21.320 --> 0:37:23.279
<v Speaker 1>that one quite yet. But Chadwick, we got. We gotta

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:25.200
<v Speaker 1>leave it there for right now. My friend, you guys

0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:28.080
<v Speaker 1>are gonna have Chadwick in for me sometime next month,

0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:30.680
<v Speaker 1>exciting things. She'll be hearing him here in the Freedom

0:37:30.760 --> 0:37:32.399
<v Speaker 1>und He's going to be taking the taking the helm

0:37:32.440 --> 0:37:35.160

0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:56.200
<v Speaker 1>some mineral issues that are national security and economic concerns. Steve.

0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Great to have you back on the program. Yeah, thanks

0:37:59.000 --> 0:38:00.799
<v Speaker 1>for having me again. By the way, this is a

0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:03.239
<v Speaker 1>huge issue because you know, there is no country in

0:38:03.239 --> 0:38:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the world that has more minerals and more metals and

0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:09.600
<v Speaker 1>have greater mining capacity in the United States, says, and

0:38:09.680 --> 0:38:13.600
<v Speaker 1>we're sitting atop trillions of dollars of these resources. And

0:38:13.680 --> 0:38:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the scandal is that we are not developing our own resources,

0:38:17.920 --> 0:38:21.440
<v Speaker 1>have become totally dependent on foreigners, just like we became

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:24.600
<v Speaker 1>dependent on foreigners for oil in the nineteen seventies and

0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and it wrecked our economy. So I'm very worried about

0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:30.400
<v Speaker 1>this and appreciate that you have beyond to talk about. Well,

0:38:30.400 --> 0:38:32.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but tell me you're concerned about it. I

0:38:32.360 --> 0:38:34.600
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of people don't even realize that there's

0:38:34.640 --> 0:38:38.880
<v Speaker 1>any blocks or hurdles in place to mineral mining that

0:38:38.920 --> 0:38:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you're speaking of. What's going on in this country. Well,

0:38:42.040 --> 0:38:44.080
<v Speaker 1>first of all, let's take an example, you know that

0:38:44.160 --> 0:38:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I wrote about this week, which is uranium. You know,

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:48.480
<v Speaker 1>now people are like, what do we need uranium for? Well,

0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:50.359
<v Speaker 1>you need it for your nuclear power plants. You need

0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:53.800
<v Speaker 1>it for nuclear energy, and you need it for the military,

0:38:53.840 --> 0:38:57.239
<v Speaker 1>needs it for our nuclear capability. And guess what, we

0:38:57.280 --> 0:38:59.440
<v Speaker 1>don't produce it anymore in the United States. Now we

0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:01.960
<v Speaker 1>get some of it from Canada, but now we're getting

0:39:02.080 --> 0:39:04.520
<v Speaker 1>most of our You're not going to believe this we're

0:39:04.520 --> 0:39:07.960
<v Speaker 1>getting most of our uranium that we need for our

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:13.280
<v Speaker 1>weapons systems from from Russia, China, Kazakhstan and countries like that.

0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:15.359
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't seem like a good idea at all. So

0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:18.640
<v Speaker 1>who's blocking this? I would say, not such a good idea.

0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:21.840
<v Speaker 1>You have to be dependent on, you know, onfrontly nations.

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:24.200
<v Speaker 1>And so this is a crisis and we need we

0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:26.719
<v Speaker 1>need to remove some of the barriers. And by the way,

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:28.880
<v Speaker 1>people are wondering how did this happen, because you know,

0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:31.640
<v Speaker 1>we've been doing copper mining, coal mining, goal mining, the

0:39:31.800 --> 0:39:35.560
<v Speaker 1>uranian mining for decades and decades in this country out

0:39:35.600 --> 0:39:38.840
<v Speaker 1>west and states from Colorado to California to Montana to

0:39:39.239 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Utah and Wyoming. And it's brought to help mostly because

0:39:44.040 --> 0:39:47.120
<v Speaker 1>these environmental rules and environmentalists and basically shut down our

0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:50.200
<v Speaker 1>mining capacity. And most of these minerals, by the way,

0:39:50.239 --> 0:39:53.680
<v Speaker 1>are underneath federal lands. So I estimate we could raise

0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:57.919
<v Speaker 1>several trillion dollars of royalties, you know, to help pay

0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 1>down our national debt if we if we got the

0:40:01.080 --> 0:40:03.960
<v Speaker 1>mining capacity back up. And so it's a win win

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:06.880
<v Speaker 1>for the economy, for these private workers, for the mining

0:40:06.920 --> 0:40:10.360
<v Speaker 1>workers and to and for our national security. But Steven,

0:40:10.400 --> 0:40:12.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, first of all, uranium obviously gets a lot

0:40:12.320 --> 0:40:16.719
<v Speaker 1>of attention because of uranium one. But is there any

0:40:16.760 --> 0:40:19.680
<v Speaker 1>eat is there? Right? This is an example of really

0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:21.640
<v Speaker 1>what you're talking about, which is, you know, the Russians

0:40:21.640 --> 0:40:24.680
<v Speaker 1>buying into a company that has an outsized role and

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:29.359
<v Speaker 1>uranium production at the US is dependent on But who

0:40:29.600 --> 0:40:31.920
<v Speaker 1>does anyone really is this an environmentalist issue? I mean,

0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:35.560
<v Speaker 1>who's saying let's not get our stuff from our own soil.

0:40:35.600 --> 0:40:37.040
<v Speaker 1>If we're sitting at top it, it seems like a

0:40:37.080 --> 0:40:40.200
<v Speaker 1>good idea to get after it. Well, So what the

0:40:40.239 --> 0:40:43.600
<v Speaker 1>story here with respect of most of our mining capacity

0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:46.440
<v Speaker 1>has been to the environmentalists have just made it almost

0:40:46.480 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 1>impossible to open up new mines in the United States.

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:51.040
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, most of these other countries that

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:54.440
<v Speaker 1>we do get minerals from, including these Asian countries, they

0:40:54.480 --> 0:40:57.439
<v Speaker 1>don't have any environmental standards at all. So it's worse

0:40:57.480 --> 0:40:59.640
<v Speaker 1>for the environment to be getting them from you know,

0:40:59.760 --> 0:41:02.359
<v Speaker 1>China and countries like that then producing it here at home.

0:41:02.600 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 1>But with respect to uranium, what's happening is the Russians

0:41:06.640 --> 0:41:09.000
<v Speaker 1>are just dumping this stuff on the market in order

0:41:09.040 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>to put our uranium producers out of business, shut down

0:41:12.120 --> 0:41:15.480
<v Speaker 1>our mind, so we're totally dependent. Um, you know, this

0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:17.880
<v Speaker 1>is the old Soviet Union we're talking about, you know,

0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's it is I think you used

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:22.640
<v Speaker 1>it insane. It is insane. I mean, it doesn't make

0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:25.560
<v Speaker 1>any sense. And now Donald Trump has to, my opinion,

0:41:25.840 --> 0:41:30.200
<v Speaker 1>issue an executive order to you know, reinstate our mining

0:41:30.239 --> 0:41:33.279
<v Speaker 1>capabilities in the United States so we can be you know,

0:41:33.680 --> 0:41:36.320
<v Speaker 1>what are the most resource rich world country in the world,

0:41:36.440 --> 0:41:38.399
<v Speaker 1>and think about all the jobs that we could be

0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:42.080
<v Speaker 1>painting with these mining operations that have been shut down.

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:45.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's important. I'm so glad you're covering because

0:41:45.000 --> 0:41:48.840
<v Speaker 1>it's important issue for our economy and for our national security.

0:41:49.239 --> 0:41:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Stephen can't let you go without asking you, with people

0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:55.560
<v Speaker 1>listening across the country, how do you think the economy

0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:57.120
<v Speaker 1>is going to shake out in the last year of

0:41:57.160 --> 0:41:59.799
<v Speaker 1>Trump's first term? Here? What are your what are the

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:03.640
<v Speaker 1>man a growth thoughts that you can give us on China, trade,

0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:06.719
<v Speaker 1>the market, and just how things are going to go. Well,

0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:09.040
<v Speaker 1>first of all, we got the best economy we've got,

0:42:09.040 --> 0:42:11.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, in any decades. And if you're a worker,

0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you know this is the best decade and you're in

0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:16.399
<v Speaker 1>my lifetime and in fifty years at the lowest unemployment rate,

0:42:16.440 --> 0:42:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the rising wages, We've got the lowest Black unemployment and

0:42:18.840 --> 0:42:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Hispanic unemployment rate. We've got you know, lowest interest rates,

0:42:23.320 --> 0:42:26.400
<v Speaker 1>lower inflation rate, the seven million surplus jobs. So this

0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:28.960
<v Speaker 1>is a blockbuster economy, and liberals are twisted into a

0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:31.479
<v Speaker 1>pressl to figure out how to explain why Donald Trump

0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:34.000
<v Speaker 1>has created this great economy. Now, the thing that worries

0:42:34.080 --> 0:42:37.799
<v Speaker 1>me is this China trade dispute. I want to see,

0:42:38.040 --> 0:42:39.640
<v Speaker 1>like how US support Trump on this because I think

0:42:39.640 --> 0:42:42.120
<v Speaker 1>we're in an abusive relationship with China. But I'm sure

0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:45.759
<v Speaker 1>we'd love to see China make some concessions here. Let's

0:42:45.800 --> 0:42:48.560
<v Speaker 1>get let's get this thing done, because when that happens,

0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:50.480
<v Speaker 1>you know we're going to have the best economy ever

0:42:50.880 --> 0:42:53.080
<v Speaker 1>in twenty and twenty. But you know, the balls in

0:42:53.160 --> 0:42:55.440
<v Speaker 1>basing squared on that one. What's it going to take

0:42:55.480 --> 0:42:58.360
<v Speaker 1>for China to finally bend on this? Well, there are

0:42:58.360 --> 0:43:02.640
<v Speaker 1>economy is getting creamed. These these you know, terrorists are

0:43:02.719 --> 0:43:04.439
<v Speaker 1>killing the Chinese account. But they may have their first

0:43:04.480 --> 0:43:08.040
<v Speaker 1>recession in thirty five years. We just have to keep

0:43:08.080 --> 0:43:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the pressure on. You know, you know the problem these

0:43:10.640 --> 0:43:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Chinese dictators, they don't face the voters like Donald Trump

0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:16.400
<v Speaker 1>has to face the voters. So you know, we're worried

0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:18.160
<v Speaker 1>that they're just gonna try to wait him out. Because

0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you know this, and I know it, and everybody listened

0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:22.120
<v Speaker 1>to the show knows the Chinese with much of that

0:43:22.200 --> 0:43:25.200
<v Speaker 1>of Joe Biden as president than Donald Trump. I think

0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:29.640
<v Speaker 1>that's true. Stephen Moore, everybody senior felt the Heritage Foundation. Stephen,

0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:31.520
<v Speaker 1>good luck to you. Thank you as always for joining us,

0:43:31.560 --> 0:43:33.759
<v Speaker 1>and we will talk to you soon. Thank you for

0:43:34.040 --> 0:43:39.000
<v Speaker 1>take care. Yeah, you know I've said it before the change.

0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:41.279
<v Speaker 1>If you look back at what libs were saying ten

0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:44.400
<v Speaker 1>or fifteen years ago about fracking and energy in this country,

0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:48.840
<v Speaker 1>thank god we didn't listen to them. America has, despite

0:43:48.880 --> 0:43:52.640
<v Speaker 1>all efforts by the left, turned into an energy superpower.

0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:57.239
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we should embrace being a rare earths and minerals

0:43:57.400 --> 0:44:00.560
<v Speaker 1>superpower as well. I'm just putting it out there. I

0:44:00.600 --> 0:44:02.160
<v Speaker 1>think that might be something that we could we could

0:44:02.200 --> 0:44:12.120
<v Speaker 1>get going. Stephens certainly think so. The future does not

0:44:12.320 --> 0:44:18.080
<v Speaker 1>belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots. The future

0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:23.719
<v Speaker 1>belongs to sovereign and independent nations who protect their citizens,

0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:28.279
<v Speaker 1>respect their neighbors, and honor the differences that make each

0:44:28.320 --> 0:44:37.160
<v Speaker 1>country special. Globalism exerted a religious pull over past leaders,

0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:41.759
<v Speaker 1>causing them to ignore their own national interests. But as

0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:47.400
<v Speaker 1>far as America is concerned, those days are over. The globalists,

0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:50.799
<v Speaker 1>the globalist the humanati to build the burghs, google it,

0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:53.719
<v Speaker 1>they're out there. I'm just kidding. We're talking real globalists now,

0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:57.640
<v Speaker 1>not the conspiracy theory based globalists. I mean, I guess

0:44:58.160 --> 0:45:00.920
<v Speaker 1>you can use the term and be in either camp,

0:45:00.960 --> 0:45:04.840
<v Speaker 1>but I'm talking about the real globalists in the United Nations,

0:45:04.880 --> 0:45:09.239
<v Speaker 1>International Monetary fund, elite media. I mean, all you have

0:45:09.280 --> 0:45:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to know about CNN, for example, is you know, when

0:45:12.520 --> 0:45:15.520
<v Speaker 1>you're sitting in a hotel room in Beijing, as I

0:45:15.640 --> 0:45:18.360
<v Speaker 1>was not long ago, and CNN pops up, you realize,

0:45:18.360 --> 0:45:20.920
<v Speaker 1>oh wow, they really do think of themselves as citizens

0:45:20.920 --> 0:45:24.600
<v Speaker 1>of the world. CNN the citizens of the world network.

0:45:24.640 --> 0:45:27.080
<v Speaker 1>They're not I mean, they're not about patriotism. They're not

0:45:27.120 --> 0:45:30.960
<v Speaker 1>about America's better than other countries in certain ways. That's

0:45:30.960 --> 0:45:32.799
<v Speaker 1>not something I really want to discuss. That's not something

0:45:32.880 --> 0:45:36.200
<v Speaker 1>that they factor into their worldview, and in fact, what

0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:40.759
<v Speaker 1>I saw was a lot of down talking America, a

0:45:40.800 --> 0:45:42.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of putting America down, a lot of saying that,

0:45:42.760 --> 0:45:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, America is maybe not such a great place

0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:47.520
<v Speaker 1>after all, especially in the era of Trump. You know,

0:45:47.560 --> 0:45:51.160
<v Speaker 1>it's like we've been it's like we've been hijacked by

0:45:51.200 --> 0:45:54.120
<v Speaker 1>this guy, President Trump. This country is no longer the

0:45:54.239 --> 0:45:58.320
<v Speaker 1>great shining city on a hill at once was. But

0:45:58.480 --> 0:46:02.000
<v Speaker 1>we know that's all nonsense. I like that President Trump

0:46:02.120 --> 0:46:04.360
<v Speaker 1>was willing to go in the United Nations and speak

0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:09.400
<v Speaker 1>on this matter because it is very important. It's easy

0:46:09.440 --> 0:46:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to forget that President Trump came into office at a

0:46:13.080 --> 0:46:17.880
<v Speaker 1>time when there was a trend back toward a nation

0:46:18.040 --> 0:46:22.680
<v Speaker 1>States government thinking about that nation state before it considered

0:46:23.600 --> 0:46:28.560
<v Speaker 1>international opinion or the global consensus, as I'm quite fond

0:46:28.560 --> 0:46:31.319
<v Speaker 1>of pointing out, because you will hear pundits go on TV.

0:46:31.480 --> 0:46:35.360
<v Speaker 1>You'll hear people that will refer to international opinion says,

0:46:36.440 --> 0:46:39.360
<v Speaker 1>what does that mean? Are we just looking at a

0:46:39.520 --> 0:46:44.000
<v Speaker 1>number of developed world governments or all governments? It seems

0:46:44.000 --> 0:46:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a bit exclusionary, doesn't it to just look at the

0:46:46.160 --> 0:46:49.840
<v Speaker 1>developed world and their governments and take their opinions into account.

0:46:50.480 --> 0:46:54.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, should we listen to oh, I don't know

0:46:55.719 --> 0:46:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the Philippines quite the same way that we listen to

0:46:59.080 --> 0:47:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the UK. And are we allowed to have some countries

0:47:01.600 --> 0:47:04.200
<v Speaker 1>that matter more to us in terms of our opinions

0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:06.799
<v Speaker 1>about policy than others, or do we just treat every

0:47:06.800 --> 0:47:08.759
<v Speaker 1>country like it's more or less the same? This is

0:47:08.760 --> 0:47:11.000
<v Speaker 1>a fantasy, I mean, you know the answer to this.

0:47:11.080 --> 0:47:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Of course, every administration is going to have some countries

0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:16.600
<v Speaker 1>that matter more than others, and there will be times

0:47:16.640 --> 0:47:19.919
<v Speaker 1>when we have to or we should. I mean to say,

0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:23.080
<v Speaker 1>when our own government puts the interests of our citizens

0:47:23.120 --> 0:47:26.399
<v Speaker 1>ahead of citizens from other countries. It's not always win

0:47:26.480 --> 0:47:31.319
<v Speaker 1>win for everybody. Trump understands that very basic calculation, and

0:47:31.480 --> 0:47:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I would offer to you that that's true of most

0:47:35.840 --> 0:47:37.880
<v Speaker 1>of the other countries of the world. The only exceptions

0:47:37.880 --> 0:47:42.839
<v Speaker 1>are some EU countries, but that's changing. Obviously, there's been

0:47:42.880 --> 0:47:45.319
<v Speaker 1>a shift. I think, you know, they created a monetary

0:47:45.440 --> 0:47:48.759
<v Speaker 1>union without really creating a fully formed political union, which

0:47:48.760 --> 0:47:51.279
<v Speaker 1>is why you have all this tumult all of this,

0:47:51.440 --> 0:47:54.839
<v Speaker 1>all this concern about Brexit. What's going to come after this?

0:47:56.560 --> 0:48:00.240
<v Speaker 1>There has been a resurgence of debate around the term

0:48:00.320 --> 0:48:05.560
<v Speaker 1>nationalism itself. You know, you can use the term patriotism,

0:48:05.560 --> 0:48:09.080
<v Speaker 1>but I think it has been so broadly, it's so

0:48:09.200 --> 0:48:13.040
<v Speaker 1>broadly applied, right, it's just, oh yeah, patriotism is is

0:48:13.080 --> 0:48:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the fourth of July barbecuing a stake, waving an American flag? Okay, yes, sure,

0:48:20.360 --> 0:48:24.120
<v Speaker 1>But isn't patriotism also saying the United States is going

0:48:24.200 --> 0:48:27.520
<v Speaker 1>to have to stand up to Chinese trade aggression and

0:48:27.600 --> 0:48:30.880
<v Speaker 1>unfair practices and theft, even if that hurts the Chinese

0:48:30.880 --> 0:48:34.600
<v Speaker 1>economy and therefore the Chinese people. Isn't that something that

0:48:34.640 --> 0:48:38.520
<v Speaker 1>we need to accept. Shouldn't our government take the position

0:48:39.160 --> 0:48:44.160
<v Speaker 1>that its first obligation is to us, you know, and

0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:46.239
<v Speaker 1>if you come from a perspective that I do. And

0:48:46.280 --> 0:48:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure pretty much all of you listening, except for

0:48:49.960 --> 0:48:53.920
<v Speaker 1>perhaps the few media matters lunatics who are just waiting

0:48:54.000 --> 0:48:56.879
<v Speaker 1>for me to say one bad thing. Oh that's Sexton guy.

0:48:57.000 --> 0:48:59.759
<v Speaker 1>He's going to slip up one day. Oh, And to

0:49:00.000 --> 0:49:02.879
<v Speaker 1>media matters, I just want to want to say preemptively,

0:49:03.600 --> 0:49:06.120
<v Speaker 1>my audience knows who I am, and they know this show,

0:49:06.160 --> 0:49:08.399
<v Speaker 1>and they know what I stand for. So you can

0:49:08.440 --> 0:49:12.480
<v Speaker 1>wait and wait and eventually pounce. But it's going to

0:49:12.560 --> 0:49:14.000
<v Speaker 1>take a whole heck of a lot to get the

0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:19.800
<v Speaker 1>buckster to be quiet. But on the globalist point, there's

0:49:19.800 --> 0:49:22.160
<v Speaker 1>a real trend there has been for a long time

0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:24.920
<v Speaker 1>of our especially among the Democratic Party, but it's true

0:49:24.920 --> 0:49:29.680
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of Republicans too, our interests being put

0:49:29.760 --> 0:49:35.080
<v Speaker 1>into this that of all these different global international considerations. Right.

0:49:35.080 --> 0:49:40.319
<v Speaker 1>You hear about people discussing UN resolutions as though they're

0:49:40.320 --> 0:49:43.920
<v Speaker 1>binding on us UN resolutions, as though we're supposed to

0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:46.520
<v Speaker 1>really care, especially when we don't even sign them or

0:49:47.120 --> 0:49:49.759
<v Speaker 1>tell them straight up, sorry, not a part of that.

0:49:50.440 --> 0:49:53.520
<v Speaker 1>The International Criminal Court another situation. We're not a signatory

0:49:53.560 --> 0:49:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to it, right, because we're not going to allow for

0:49:57.600 --> 0:49:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the governments of the rest of the world to tell

0:50:00.160 --> 0:50:04.080
<v Speaker 1>us that some general or you know, it's not a

0:50:04.120 --> 0:50:08.160
<v Speaker 1>far stretch. I think member of our administration who has

0:50:08.200 --> 0:50:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to conduct a war to defend our interests, to defend

0:50:10.360 --> 0:50:12.799
<v Speaker 1>this country is a war criminal. Sorry, we'll handle that

0:50:12.840 --> 0:50:17.480
<v Speaker 1>one ourselves. But this is a break you see from

0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:20.920
<v Speaker 1>elite consensus opinion, and that's one of the reasons that

0:50:21.040 --> 0:50:24.000
<v Speaker 1>they hate Trump so much. You have to remember it

0:50:24.120 --> 0:50:30.120
<v Speaker 1>is not really Trump's policies that get libs the most agitated.

0:50:30.160 --> 0:50:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's certainly there's some of that. But as

0:50:32.400 --> 0:50:35.200
<v Speaker 1>we were discussing with my friend Chadwick Moore before, if

0:50:35.200 --> 0:50:39.680
<v Speaker 1>it were policy based, when Trump did things that they like,

0:50:40.840 --> 0:50:44.360
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't it then be the case that they would say, well,

0:50:44.960 --> 0:50:46.680
<v Speaker 1>at least he's doing the right thing. No, they hate

0:50:46.680 --> 0:50:50.799
<v Speaker 1>everything he does. Right, everything Trump does is literally worse

0:50:50.800 --> 0:50:54.200
<v Speaker 1>than Hitler. Right. What doesn't matter what it is, and

0:50:54.200 --> 0:50:58.040
<v Speaker 1>that's because Trump also represents to them a repudiation his

0:50:58.200 --> 0:51:02.880
<v Speaker 1>mere existence as president and the ideas that he espouses,

0:51:02.880 --> 0:51:04.560
<v Speaker 1>whether he's picked them up from other people or not,

0:51:04.600 --> 0:51:07.279
<v Speaker 1>whether they're new for him or not, doesn't matter. What

0:51:07.400 --> 0:51:12.960
<v Speaker 1>he stands for is a different approach between America and

0:51:13.000 --> 0:51:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the world. Now, I think it's the

0:51:15.640 --> 0:51:19.480
<v Speaker 1>right approach, but it is a break from, for example,

0:51:19.480 --> 0:51:22.880
<v Speaker 1>what you would have with establishment Republicans stretching back to

0:51:23.600 --> 0:51:27.960
<v Speaker 1>multiple Bush administrations, and you would have to look at

0:51:27.960 --> 0:51:30.799
<v Speaker 1>the way and then once you start taking a far enough,

0:51:31.640 --> 0:51:33.840
<v Speaker 1>far enough view, a long enough lens. Yeah, Well, the

0:51:33.880 --> 0:51:36.240
<v Speaker 1>world has also changed a lot. We've seen We've learned

0:51:36.239 --> 0:51:38.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot in the last thirty years about how America.

0:51:38.480 --> 0:51:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to think we've learned a lot about how

0:51:40.120 --> 0:51:44.600
<v Speaker 1>America interacts with our trading partners on national security concerns,

0:51:44.640 --> 0:51:47.600
<v Speaker 1>who's an ally, who's a friend, who's a foe. So

0:51:47.640 --> 0:51:50.680
<v Speaker 1>there should be a constant updating of this with only

0:51:50.800 --> 0:51:54.400
<v Speaker 1>certain core principles put in place. But Trump changes the

0:51:54.440 --> 0:51:58.359
<v Speaker 1>core principles. And this is what really upsets them so much.

0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:01.360
<v Speaker 1>He's not just making different decisions. It's not just policy,

0:52:01.440 --> 0:52:06.600
<v Speaker 1>it's no no a at a very foundational level. As

0:52:06.680 --> 0:52:09.000
<v Speaker 1>president of the United States, Trump will look at what's

0:52:09.000 --> 0:52:13.719
<v Speaker 1>going on and say, this is better for the American

0:52:13.800 --> 0:52:16.480
<v Speaker 1>people than it is for some other country or some

0:52:16.520 --> 0:52:19.840
<v Speaker 1>other group outside of our borders, and therefore it is

0:52:19.840 --> 0:52:25.000
<v Speaker 1>my obligation to pursue this irrespective of what other governments

0:52:25.000 --> 0:52:30.439
<v Speaker 1>may want or think. That is a major break from

0:52:30.440 --> 0:52:33.080
<v Speaker 1>what had been an elite consensus for a long time.

0:52:33.080 --> 0:52:36.080
<v Speaker 1>And people don't like to think that one they're ever wrong,

0:52:36.560 --> 0:52:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and they certainly don't like to think that they're not

0:52:38.640 --> 0:52:41.799
<v Speaker 1>going to get their way again in the future. So

0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the ideas on the world stage that Trump represents and

0:52:45.760 --> 0:52:47.640
<v Speaker 1>that he is articulating at the United Agents, and I'm

0:52:47.640 --> 0:52:49.319
<v Speaker 1>not gonna lie the speech today was boring. I mean,

0:52:49.320 --> 0:52:51.840
<v Speaker 1>it was a pretty boring speech. I'm just telling you

0:52:51.880 --> 0:52:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the truth it was. I think the Trump does that

0:52:54.880 --> 0:52:57.680
<v Speaker 1>because he's like, all right, I'm at the un I'm

0:52:57.680 --> 0:53:00.279
<v Speaker 1>going to say my piece, and that's that. You know.

0:53:00.480 --> 0:53:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that's it. I believe that Trump really does,

0:53:04.239 --> 0:53:05.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, He's like, all right, you know, we gotta

0:53:05.960 --> 0:53:09.879
<v Speaker 1>do this thing. But there were some areas where he

0:53:09.920 --> 0:53:15.480
<v Speaker 1>made you know, he made some worthwhile comments that elucidate

0:53:15.560 --> 0:53:18.960
<v Speaker 1>that illuminates some of his thinking about well, not just

0:53:19.040 --> 0:53:20.680
<v Speaker 1>on the world stage, but also the way that he

0:53:20.719 --> 0:53:25.880
<v Speaker 1>approaches all matters as president, and all of it is

0:53:25.920 --> 0:53:28.520
<v Speaker 1>of course a grave insult. Liberals consider all of this

0:53:28.640 --> 0:53:31.000
<v Speaker 1>to be a grave insult. It upsets them to their

0:53:31.000 --> 0:53:34.600
<v Speaker 1>core because ultimately, if you're a true collectivist and now

0:53:34.680 --> 0:53:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I know, I'm digging into the philosophy here maybe a

0:53:36.920 --> 0:53:39.360
<v Speaker 1>little maybe a little more than one showed on a

0:53:39.400 --> 0:53:41.400
<v Speaker 1>syndicated radio show. But I feel like, you guys are

0:53:41.400 --> 0:53:44.600
<v Speaker 1>cool that I could just sit here and be like,

0:53:44.640 --> 0:53:47.120
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, the country is destroyed and we're all

0:53:47.160 --> 0:53:49.760
<v Speaker 1>on fire, and you know, there's other there's other shows

0:53:49.800 --> 0:53:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you can listen to for that. Hopefully you won't because

0:53:53.000 --> 0:53:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the show is way better. But when you look at

0:53:56.160 --> 0:54:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the underlying philosophy here of the left. Why are they globalists? Well,

0:54:00.640 --> 0:54:03.879
<v Speaker 1>they're globalist because there are collectivists. And what could be

0:54:04.080 --> 0:54:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the more, the more ultimate collective than a one world government.

0:54:10.560 --> 0:54:12.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, the United Nations, the League of Nations. Go

0:54:12.640 --> 0:54:14.879
<v Speaker 1>back to Woodrow Wilson. Look at how they've tried to

0:54:14.920 --> 0:54:20.120
<v Speaker 1>create a system of interlocking regimes and status quo all

0:54:20.160 --> 0:54:24.719
<v Speaker 1>around the world that will become over time one not

0:54:24.920 --> 0:54:28.600
<v Speaker 1>that places will have their sovereignty and we can communicate

0:54:28.800 --> 0:54:32.759
<v Speaker 1>and be allies and have a more prosperous and just

0:54:33.120 --> 0:54:35.759
<v Speaker 1>and happy world. We all want that. No, No, this

0:54:35.840 --> 0:54:39.120
<v Speaker 1>is different. This is one rule for all, one regime

0:54:39.800 --> 0:54:43.759
<v Speaker 1>that is effectively a super government. If you are a collectivist,

0:54:43.840 --> 0:54:45.799
<v Speaker 1>if you believe here at home in America, and I

0:54:45.840 --> 0:54:48.040
<v Speaker 1>know you're not, But if one were a collectivist and

0:54:48.200 --> 0:54:53.239
<v Speaker 1>believed that the government should achieve whatever power it requires

0:54:53.280 --> 0:54:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to do anything that it believes it should do. Well,

0:54:56.560 --> 0:54:59.440
<v Speaker 1>if you think that here at home, where it affects

0:54:59.440 --> 0:55:02.040
<v Speaker 1>your fellows, shouldn't you think that for the whole world.

0:55:03.040 --> 0:55:06.600
<v Speaker 1>If one is so certain here in America that taking

0:55:06.640 --> 0:55:10.440
<v Speaker 1>the power that the collectivist that the socialists left in

0:55:10.480 --> 0:55:14.280
<v Speaker 1>America wants for itself if they're sure that that is righteous,

0:55:14.280 --> 0:55:17.600
<v Speaker 1>that that's the right thing to do in America, which clearly,

0:55:17.719 --> 0:55:19.840
<v Speaker 1>given the trends of the Democratic Party is the case,

0:55:20.880 --> 0:55:23.239
<v Speaker 1>then wouldn't they want to expand that to the whole

0:55:23.280 --> 0:55:26.920
<v Speaker 1>world as rapidly as possible they're so certain of the

0:55:27.200 --> 0:55:30.040
<v Speaker 1>of the You know, there's there's a few defining characteristics

0:55:30.040 --> 0:55:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of liberalism today. I always say hypocrisy is one. Another

0:55:32.520 --> 0:55:35.960
<v Speaker 1>one is certainty, certainty on issues where they would be

0:55:36.040 --> 0:55:41.600
<v Speaker 1>much better served by tremendous humility. But humility requires introspection,

0:55:41.640 --> 0:55:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and introspectrum requires honesty, and that is certainly in short

0:55:44.840 --> 0:55:50.760
<v Speaker 1>supply in the Democratic Party. A collectivist in a village,

0:55:50.760 --> 0:55:52.880
<v Speaker 1>in a town, is a collectivist in a city, is

0:55:52.880 --> 0:55:55.400
<v Speaker 1>a collectivist in a country, as a collectivist at the

0:55:55.480 --> 0:55:59.840
<v Speaker 1>United Nations, for the entire world, Trump is a threat

0:56:00.360 --> 0:56:04.920
<v Speaker 1>to those layers of government control, and they hate him

0:56:04.960 --> 0:56:07.520
<v Speaker 1>for that. They don't even get into the specifics of

0:56:07.560 --> 0:56:19.200
<v Speaker 1>what he says. He's back with you now, because when

0:56:19.239 --> 0:56:22.640
<v Speaker 1>it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops.

0:56:25.320 --> 0:56:29.880
<v Speaker 1>It's happening. I've been telling you for a while that

0:56:30.000 --> 0:56:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Biden's not going to be the nominee, and every Democrat

0:56:32.440 --> 0:56:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I say that too, looks me like, no, don't say

0:56:34.680 --> 0:56:40.800
<v Speaker 1>that Biden would trounce Trump. They don't use alliteration like that.

0:56:40.880 --> 0:56:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Let's be honest. They're like, yeah, he beat him. I'm like,

0:56:43.360 --> 0:56:47.359
<v Speaker 1>all right, democrat whatever, it's the imaginary democrat I'm talking to. Yeah,

0:56:47.400 --> 0:56:50.200
<v Speaker 1>he'd take what did what did Biden say? I'd beat

0:56:50.280 --> 0:56:55.640
<v Speaker 1>him like a drum That's like, you know, I could

0:56:55.640 --> 0:56:58.959
<v Speaker 1>just picture Biden, you know, chasing after chasing some kids

0:56:58.960 --> 0:57:01.400
<v Speaker 1>off his law and wearing you know, a really a

0:57:01.440 --> 0:57:05.400
<v Speaker 1>really tattered robe, you know, waving a newspaper. You know,

0:57:05.520 --> 0:57:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you kids come back here. I'll lamb based you. Is

0:57:10.680 --> 0:57:15.759
<v Speaker 1>it lambossed or lamb based number two? Right? Lamb based? Right? Yeah? Yeah,

0:57:15.960 --> 0:57:19.360
<v Speaker 1>is it lamboss tera? No, it's lamb based, I believe

0:57:19.480 --> 0:57:21.840
<v Speaker 1>is the say the problem when you learn words by

0:57:21.880 --> 0:57:23.720
<v Speaker 1>reading them, but sometimes you don't realize until you say

0:57:23.720 --> 0:57:25.400
<v Speaker 1>it out loud on a national radio show that you're

0:57:25.440 --> 0:57:28.240
<v Speaker 1>not sure you're saying it the right way. Um. So

0:57:28.480 --> 0:57:30.120
<v Speaker 1>we've had we've had a few of those here Brandon

0:57:30.160 --> 0:57:32.920
<v Speaker 1>on the show. Although it's just more just more evidence

0:57:32.920 --> 0:57:34.760
<v Speaker 1>that I used to use those word flash cards a

0:57:34.760 --> 0:57:37.160
<v Speaker 1>lot back in the day, so so Biden said he'll

0:57:37.160 --> 0:57:41.840
<v Speaker 1>beat Trump like a drum, which that's fighting, fighting Joe

0:57:41.960 --> 0:57:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Biden as opposed to sleepy Joe Biden. But Elizabeth Warren,

0:57:47.640 --> 0:57:50.480
<v Speaker 1>who really is like the terminator in that it doesn't

0:57:50.480 --> 0:57:54.240
<v Speaker 1>matter how embarrassed she should be, or what has happened

0:57:54.240 --> 0:57:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to or anything else. She just decides that she's gonna

0:57:59.480 --> 0:58:03.280
<v Speaker 1>keep on going. You just you cannot what's I wish?

0:58:03.320 --> 0:58:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember at the top of I have, but

0:58:04.520 --> 0:58:06.920
<v Speaker 1>it's Kyle Reese and Termator one. You know, it does

0:58:07.000 --> 0:58:11.320
<v Speaker 1>not feel paid or remorse, and it absolutely will not

0:58:11.560 --> 0:58:15.520
<v Speaker 1>stop until she is president. It's kind of like that.

0:58:16.000 --> 0:58:19.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a little bit like Termator one, except it's Elizabeth Warren.

0:58:20.160 --> 0:58:21.960
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I could probably make some jokes here

0:58:22.000 --> 0:58:24.800
<v Speaker 1>about you know, her being a fake Cherokee and all that,

0:58:24.840 --> 0:58:26.600
<v Speaker 1>but you gotta be careful that you can do those

0:58:26.640 --> 0:58:29.240
<v Speaker 1>in real time. You know, Oh, they're still still lines

0:58:29.280 --> 0:58:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you can cross. And Media Matters is out there somewhere

0:58:33.120 --> 0:58:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the worst and I know a lot of you like,

0:58:34.440 --> 0:58:37.200
<v Speaker 1>what does media Matters? Imagine an organization that claims that

0:58:37.240 --> 0:58:41.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a nonprofit education or an education group, and all

0:58:41.280 --> 0:58:44.240
<v Speaker 1>it does is pay people to try and find ways

0:58:44.320 --> 0:58:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to even not even just catch conservatives saying something that

0:58:48.640 --> 0:58:50.400
<v Speaker 1>they didn't mean too or that was dumb. Sometimes we

0:58:50.440 --> 0:58:53.120
<v Speaker 1>say dumb things. Everyone sometimes says dumb things, but that

0:58:53.160 --> 0:58:55.400
<v Speaker 1>they'll even twist it. And then their whole purpose in

0:58:55.440 --> 0:58:57.800
<v Speaker 1>life is to make as much noise about it as possible,

0:58:57.800 --> 0:58:59.880
<v Speaker 1>to try to get people fired. That's all they do.

0:59:00.120 --> 0:59:02.160
<v Speaker 1>That's their job. Every day. I would not be able

0:59:02.160 --> 0:59:05.080
<v Speaker 1>to sleep at night. I would rather do any minimum

0:59:05.080 --> 0:59:07.800
<v Speaker 1>wage job in the country, and I mean that any

0:59:07.800 --> 0:59:11.800
<v Speaker 1>minimum wage job, because it would be honorable. Media manners

0:59:11.920 --> 0:59:17.080
<v Speaker 1>is not honorable. Sorry, they've been going after people, including yours,

0:59:17.080 --> 0:59:21.720
<v Speaker 1>truly for the whole gret Gret Greta tun Tunberg and

0:59:21.800 --> 0:59:23.240
<v Speaker 1>might say, I feel like I'm trying too hard to

0:59:23.240 --> 0:59:25.600
<v Speaker 1>say it the Swedish way. Maybe it's just a Thunberg.

0:59:26.320 --> 0:59:31.440
<v Speaker 1>A Thunberg get over here, you know, But Greta Tronberg,

0:59:31.800 --> 0:59:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I like this. I got to work on my Swedish accent.

0:59:33.880 --> 0:59:36.760
<v Speaker 1>It's not particularly good, um, except for I I want to

0:59:36.760 --> 0:59:38.920
<v Speaker 1>do the Swedish chef, which some of you like and

0:59:39.000 --> 0:59:40.720
<v Speaker 1>some of you you know, producer brand and I will

0:59:40.760 --> 0:59:43.120
<v Speaker 1>tell you that there are you know, there's some things

0:59:43.120 --> 0:59:46.160
<v Speaker 1>where the audience is very split. Right, there are some

0:59:46.200 --> 0:59:48.600
<v Speaker 1>things they really like and there there are others where

0:59:48.720 --> 0:59:52.760
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty clear, um, Swedish chef is like is like

0:59:52.760 --> 0:59:56.120
<v Speaker 1>a fifty fifty proposition. They're not for Rugert Ugert or

0:59:56.160 --> 0:59:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're like, no, no no, something like the Swedish chef.

0:59:58.800 --> 1:00:00.760
<v Speaker 1>They think my version of the Swedish chef is not

1:00:00.760 --> 1:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>not prime timeworthy. I feel like it all sounds the same.

1:00:04.080 --> 1:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, exactly. That's an impression you really can mess

1:00:07.240 --> 1:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>up exactly Spurg you know. Anyway, So all right, back

1:00:12.760 --> 1:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to Warren. Who's who's I think? Can we just say

1:00:15.040 --> 1:00:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the Warren impression is going to become the Hillary impression,

1:00:17.280 --> 1:00:21.440
<v Speaker 1>So I'll give it to her. Hello, she's back, right,

1:00:21.480 --> 1:00:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Warren and Hillary, there's a lot of and

1:00:23.800 --> 1:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>people don't don't tell me, oh, you're just saying that

1:00:25.920 --> 1:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>because no, no, there there really are some similar you know,

1:00:29.320 --> 1:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>both white women of the same age with similar hair,

1:00:34.040 --> 1:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and you know, there's there's some similarities there. You know.

1:00:38.680 --> 1:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like when when a random cab driver thinks that

1:00:42.000 --> 1:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm Tucker Carlson, I'm like, yes, indeed, I can see

1:00:44.400 --> 1:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the similarity there. Although I have facial hair now a

1:00:46.640 --> 1:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit, A little bit, all right. So Warren is

1:00:50.200 --> 1:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>edging out Biden in the latest New Hampshire poll and

1:00:55.280 --> 1:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders is way down in the latest New Hampshire poll.

1:00:58.840 --> 1:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Which is looking at this and trying to do a

1:01:01.120 --> 1:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of a lot of reading that tea leaves. I

1:01:02.880 --> 1:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>try not to spend that much of our time on

1:01:06.120 --> 1:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>the speculation. I feel like the news these days, a

1:01:08.680 --> 1:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of shows. It's one thing to analyze, it's another

1:01:11.480 --> 1:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>thing to just speculated, well, this goold. I'm not saying predictions,

1:01:14.400 --> 1:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>which I tend to do on very small doses, and

1:01:17.520 --> 1:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>my predictions tend to be right. I'm just saying, but

1:01:19.840 --> 1:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that. You know, you can never get

1:01:22.120 --> 1:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>into bit of speculation. Sometimes you're forced to write, like

1:01:24.640 --> 1:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats tomorrow, here's some speculation for you. The Democrats tomorrow,

1:01:29.240 --> 1:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>regardless of what is in the transcript, will claim that

1:01:33.640 --> 1:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>it's terrible and now Trump really needs to be impeached.

1:01:36.600 --> 1:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't matter what it says, even if anyone reading it

1:01:39.440 --> 1:01:41.960
<v Speaker 1>would say, yeah, this seems pretty normal, actually, or this

1:01:41.960 --> 1:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>seems not that bad. I'm telling you, I think it's

1:01:44.280 --> 1:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be a Yeah, it's not that bad. It's

1:01:46.760 --> 1:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be great, but it's not that bad. That's

1:01:48.600 --> 1:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>what I think. And Democrats are gonna say, oh my gosh,

1:01:52.240 --> 1:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>he's Benedict Arnold plus Hitler. That's that would be a bad,

1:01:58.600 --> 1:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>bad dude, you know. And Arnold, that guy rolled the dice,

1:02:02.400 --> 1:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>came up snake eyes. Not good, not good. He could

1:02:05.760 --> 1:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>have been he could have been a hero for the Brits.

1:02:07.840 --> 1:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>We'd be living in uh you know, the Benedict Arnold,

1:02:12.440 --> 1:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Sure Shire, you know what I mean. You know they

1:02:15.160 --> 1:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>would have no But he messed up. Wrong side a man,

1:02:19.440 --> 1:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>wrong side wrong tell you would be on the wrong

1:02:21.240 --> 1:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>side of history. That guy, other than Judas, the most

1:02:24.400 --> 1:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>infamous traitor in all history. I think people would say brutus,

1:02:28.360 --> 1:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>But I say, no, Brutus thought that he was a

1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>patriot at a time when that was a very complicated matter.

1:02:33.840 --> 1:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>At two brute Brutus. Okay, So Warren, how do we

1:02:39.360 --> 1:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>get into ancient Rome? Who knows, it's one of those days.

1:02:41.840 --> 1:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking some cold meds. We're just gonna have to

1:02:43.880 --> 1:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>roll with it. Warren is at twenty seven percent among

1:02:48.280 --> 1:02:53.640
<v Speaker 1>likely Democratic presidential primary voters in the state of New Hampshire. Okay,

1:02:53.680 --> 1:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>so she's doing very well. Biden's at twenty five percent,

1:02:56.240 --> 1:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Warren's two point edges well within the sampling arrow. Okay,

1:02:58.560 --> 1:03:01.920
<v Speaker 1>so they're neck and neck. Here's a question I have

1:03:02.040 --> 1:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>for you. What is the what is the pitch for

1:03:04.840 --> 1:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>one over the other? These days when the Democrats line up,

1:03:08.480 --> 1:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>it feels like it's really just a contest for individual

1:03:12.320 --> 1:03:16.439
<v Speaker 1>affinity for a politician. I can't even really tell you. Yeah,

1:03:16.480 --> 1:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>we know that Warren and Bernie are left of Biden,

1:03:21.760 --> 1:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>but Biden's chasing their positions as fast as he can.

1:03:24.400 --> 1:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Biden was saying, yeah, if you're if you're if you're

1:03:27.120 --> 1:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>in prison and you think you're you know, you think

1:03:29.720 --> 1:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>you're a transgender, you know you'll be in that. You know.

1:03:33.480 --> 1:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>He's trying to do the whole woke thing. Who has

1:03:37.520 --> 1:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>better ideas? And I really mean, just swim in the

1:03:41.520 --> 1:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>in the in the sewage here with me for a moment. Okay,

1:03:43.760 --> 1:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>think about Democrat ideas. Let's just let's just do this.

1:03:46.800 --> 1:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Who is a Who is a better play for the

1:03:48.360 --> 1:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Democrats on the economy. Who's the best play for Democrats

1:03:51.920 --> 1:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>in the economy. I'm not even sure they know, first

1:03:55.280 --> 1:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>of all, it's largely similar stuff, right, It's they don't

1:03:59.320 --> 1:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>disagree all that much. But one problem they're going to

1:04:01.800 --> 1:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>have is that they love to do the class warfare angle.

1:04:06.120 --> 1:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>You know this, Democrats are obsessed with pushing class warfare.

1:04:10.280 --> 1:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>This is really central to their sense of you know,

1:04:13.000 --> 1:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>why the Democratic Party exists, Oh, to soak the rich

1:04:16.480 --> 1:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and tano power to the people, all that stuff. All right,

1:04:21.400 --> 1:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>So what's the pitch? What are they going to do

1:04:24.400 --> 1:04:27.320
<v Speaker 1>for the people? Now? You've got you know, every what

1:04:27.440 --> 1:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>we had Steve Moore on before, and he's just saying

1:04:30.800 --> 1:04:32.360
<v Speaker 1>what we already know. The economy is, this is the

1:04:32.400 --> 1:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>best economy that we've had in this country since at

1:04:34.800 --> 1:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>least the nineties, and a lot of you would say

1:04:36.440 --> 1:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot better than the nineties, depending on which

1:04:38.400 --> 1:04:42.439
<v Speaker 1>metrics you look at. So you could very easily argue

1:04:42.440 --> 1:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>it's the best economy in my adult lifetime. So what

1:04:45.560 --> 1:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>are Democrats going to say about it? How can they differentiate?

1:04:48.960 --> 1:04:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Because anyone can sit around and be like, oh, the

1:04:51.000 --> 1:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>rich will pay for everything. Okay, they all say that

1:04:53.960 --> 1:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not true. Well, here's here's some versions of it

1:04:58.560 --> 1:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>we've gotten from a mayor Pete was in Iowa. I

1:05:03.720 --> 1:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>will tell you I am I am disappointed. Even from

1:05:07.000 --> 1:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the aisle, I am disappointed in

1:05:10.360 --> 1:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Pete. You know, I've been out to Fort Wayne,

1:05:12.800 --> 1:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Indiana twice in the last two years. What's up? Whoa, whoa.

1:05:16.800 --> 1:05:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I've come out there to visit the folks love Fort Wayne, Indiana,

1:05:19.520 --> 1:05:23.280
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful people, wonderful place. And I was told both

1:05:23.320 --> 1:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>times watch out for that Mayor Pete guy. And I said,

1:05:26.360 --> 1:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>mayor who. I was like, who's Mayor Pete? Oh, the

1:05:28.800 --> 1:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>mayor of South Bend, Indiana. I was told two years

1:05:30.920 --> 1:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>ago he was going to run for president. And I

1:05:33.000 --> 1:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>was like, come on, the mayor of no no, no offense,

1:05:36.720 --> 1:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>South Bend. But I mean, you're not four Wayne, you know,

1:05:39.680 --> 1:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean come on. So I was like, who is

1:05:43.080 --> 1:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>this guy? And then I saw his resume. I figured

1:05:45.480 --> 1:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>this has to be a person who is is real.

1:05:49.760 --> 1:05:52.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe he's a liberal, but he's a reasonable liberal.

1:05:52.480 --> 1:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>You know. He's Who's the guy that I can't even

1:05:54.520 --> 1:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>remember his name? Now, that's how much of an impression

1:05:56.440 --> 1:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>he made. The congressman from Maryland who was a self

1:06:01.360 --> 1:06:05.160
<v Speaker 1>made millionaire. You know, he's I'm sorry, guys, I'm blanking

1:06:05.160 --> 1:06:07.439
<v Speaker 1>on his name, which is crazy because I've talked about

1:06:07.480 --> 1:06:10.280
<v Speaker 1>him many times on the show. But you know, he's

1:06:10.320 --> 1:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>wrong on some stuff, but he's not wrong on everything.

1:06:13.160 --> 1:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>And I thought may Or Pete would be a little

1:06:15.000 --> 1:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>bit more like that, and I was wrong. May Or

1:06:17.080 --> 1:06:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Pete loves to lecture everybody on how the Bible supports

1:06:20.640 --> 1:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the party of you know, infanticide. Okay, so start with that. Yeah,

1:06:26.960 --> 1:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I think may Or Peatch should be a little more

1:06:28.520 --> 1:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>cautious about the Pope Pete routine. But even on the economy,

1:06:32.600 --> 1:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>on healthcare, I think that he falls into that very

1:06:38.200 --> 1:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>unseemly category of politician who's smarter, who knows better, but

1:06:44.080 --> 1:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>just will say what he has to say because that's

1:06:46.800 --> 1:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>what he's been told he has to say. Here he

1:06:51.280 --> 1:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>is talking about the economy right now, and I meet

1:06:55.520 --> 1:06:57.920
<v Speaker 1>so many folks who have talked about the ways in

1:06:57.920 --> 1:07:01.840
<v Speaker 1>which are political and that can systems have led them down.

1:07:02.680 --> 1:07:05.520
<v Speaker 1>We see it in the fact that the Dow Jones

1:07:05.600 --> 1:07:08.840
<v Speaker 1>is going up and our life expectancies are getting shorter

1:07:08.920 --> 1:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>at the same time. It shouldn't be possible. I mean,

1:07:12.720 --> 1:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the life expectancy getting shorter is generally a result of

1:07:17.760 --> 1:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>two things. One is lifestyle diseases, Okay, which is the

1:07:25.040 --> 1:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>number one the number one killer really out there to

1:07:27.360 --> 1:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>look at heart disease, diabetes and some cancers that are

1:07:31.720 --> 1:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>related to not always but related to lifestyle smoking specifically,

1:07:37.480 --> 1:07:42.439
<v Speaker 1>and the opioid crisis. Those aren't really economic matters, though,

1:07:42.800 --> 1:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>so it seems strange he would go in that direction.

1:07:45.120 --> 1:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>But here's the problem the Democrats have. What is their

1:07:50.200 --> 1:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>pitch on the economy, What exactly are they gonna do better?

1:07:55.760 --> 1:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>They go back and forth. A year ago was oh,

1:07:58.200 --> 1:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>but it's the Obama economy. Nope, Obama's not president anymore.

1:08:03.400 --> 1:08:07.440
<v Speaker 1>We have we've gone way past that. And no serious

1:08:07.480 --> 1:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>person thinks that if we were in a recession, which

1:08:09.720 --> 1:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Democrats promised we would be in because Trump is president,

1:08:13.200 --> 1:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>nobody really thinks that they wouldn't the same Democrats wouldn't

1:08:15.840 --> 1:08:17.879
<v Speaker 1>be saying, oh, look what Trump has done to the economy.

1:08:17.920 --> 1:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>He's destroyed it. So it's just disingenuous. But I will say,

1:08:21.680 --> 1:08:25.439
<v Speaker 1>at least Mayor Pete tried something of an answer on

1:08:25.479 --> 1:08:28.599
<v Speaker 1>this one. He's trying to differentiate himself from the other

1:08:28.600 --> 1:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Democratic candidates. He here's the answer you get when you

1:08:31.080 --> 1:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>ask a question of Joe Biden. Well, in Iowa, the

1:08:36.400 --> 1:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>unemployment rate is two and a half percent. People say

1:08:39.400 --> 1:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>they are employed in Iowa and their small businesses are

1:08:42.160 --> 1:08:48.599
<v Speaker 1>growing before they're employed. Before he got elected, the president

1:08:48.640 --> 1:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>won by ten percentage points. And I'm not suggested he

1:08:51.080 --> 1:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't win by ten percent points. Well, I'm suggesting is

1:08:53.920 --> 1:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>he's not the reason for that employment rate being down.

1:08:56.160 --> 1:08:58.599
<v Speaker 1>But why shouldn't people want to make a change though, Well,

1:08:58.600 --> 1:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>that's up to the end of decide. Why should they?

1:09:03.000 --> 1:09:05.840
<v Speaker 1>From them to the sign will make your case, I'm

1:09:05.880 --> 1:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>not going to. Yeah, that's some really compelling stuff there.

1:09:11.479 --> 1:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to. Now. You could say that that's

1:09:15.160 --> 1:09:19.400
<v Speaker 1>just another one of Biden's many weak moments. He's had

1:09:19.439 --> 1:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>many weak moments in the campaign trail. But I do

1:09:22.120 --> 1:09:27.680
<v Speaker 1>think that there's a sneaking thought, a sneaking suspicion that

1:09:28.080 --> 1:09:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Biden has that maybe he realizes that it's I think

1:09:31.120 --> 1:09:33.280
<v Speaker 1>he has started to realize it's not going to be him,

1:09:33.800 --> 1:09:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and that he doesn't even really want the job. You know,

1:09:37.040 --> 1:09:38.599
<v Speaker 1>they used to say this about Trump all the time,

1:09:38.640 --> 1:09:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and now that he's been president for fe years, I

1:09:40.280 --> 1:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>think Trump loves being president. I think he's really into

1:09:43.040 --> 1:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>it from what I can see. I don't know if

1:09:46.040 --> 1:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Malania likes that she's now the first Lady or not.

1:09:49.320 --> 1:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't pretend to know, but I think Trump likes

1:09:51.760 --> 1:09:56.160
<v Speaker 1>being president. I'm not sure that Biden even thinks that

1:09:56.240 --> 1:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>he's really up for this. And I think that if

1:09:59.040 --> 1:10:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you give, if you have a moment, and this is

1:10:02.240 --> 1:10:04.799
<v Speaker 1>what I'm beginning to see with Warren in New Hampshire,

1:10:05.160 --> 1:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>where all of a sudden he's fought the good fight,

1:10:08.200 --> 1:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's clear that there's another option, there's an alternative

1:10:11.640 --> 1:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>to him. I think he would pass the baton. As

1:10:14.240 --> 1:10:16.879
<v Speaker 1>much as he's an egomaniac, which really everybody in politics

1:10:16.920 --> 1:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>at that level has to be, I get it, but

1:10:19.200 --> 1:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that if there was a moment where all

1:10:20.920 --> 1:10:22.719
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, it's going to be Warren, he would

1:10:22.720 --> 1:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>breathe a huge sigh of relief. He doesn't really want this,

1:10:28.080 --> 1:10:30.479
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really want his family to be dragged into this

1:10:30.520 --> 1:10:33.799
<v Speaker 1>whole thing, you know, Hunter Biden. That's just the beginning

1:10:33.800 --> 1:10:35.759
<v Speaker 1>of what they're going to talk about with Hunter Biden,

1:10:35.840 --> 1:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>this whole thing in Ukraine. They're also gonna bring China

1:10:37.720 --> 1:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>into it. I just I don't know's it has been.

1:10:42.760 --> 1:10:45.160
<v Speaker 1>It has been a shock to me that he has defied,

1:10:47.800 --> 1:10:51.599
<v Speaker 1>defied all of my claims to this point that oh,

1:10:51.640 --> 1:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna be Biden. I'm like, how does this

1:10:53.240 --> 1:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>guy holding on to the I think the moment that

1:10:55.000 --> 1:10:56.920
<v Speaker 1>he gets an opening to not be the front runner,

1:10:57.280 --> 1:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>he'll just fade away. And that's what I think is

1:11:00.760 --> 1:11:03.439
<v Speaker 1>going to happen here. But because this moment where he's asked,

1:11:03.520 --> 1:11:06.759
<v Speaker 1>he's being asked by somebody, an Iowa reporter, what's what's

1:11:06.760 --> 1:11:08.400
<v Speaker 1>the case you make? He doesn't even know it. He

1:11:08.400 --> 1:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't even want to make the case. What is that?

1:11:11.000 --> 1:11:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Is he tired? You need a nap? We'll be right back.

1:11:18.880 --> 1:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I am focused on getting the Inspector General of the

1:11:22.320 --> 1:11:28.479
<v Speaker 1>Intelligence Community to provide Congress with the whistleblower complaint as

1:11:28.600 --> 1:11:35.599
<v Speaker 1>required by law. Let me repeat that, as required by law. Ah,

1:11:35.640 --> 1:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I see what's going on here. You have the Senate

1:11:40.400 --> 1:11:43.599
<v Speaker 1>passing this a unanimous resolution to hand the whistleblower complaint

1:11:43.600 --> 1:11:46.679
<v Speaker 1>to the Intel committees. Right, but that the Democrat narrative.

1:11:46.720 --> 1:11:48.840
<v Speaker 1>You can see it forming. You know, it's almost like

1:11:49.120 --> 1:11:52.799
<v Speaker 1>watching water freeze into ice. You just you see it happening.

1:11:54.720 --> 1:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>That's about as exciting. They are going to say that

1:11:59.439 --> 1:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the trend script is not enough. Keep in mind what

1:12:04.280 --> 1:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>that means the Democrat position will be as of tomorrow.

1:12:07.560 --> 1:12:09.840
<v Speaker 1>And I'm putting on my little nostre damas cap here.

1:12:09.840 --> 1:12:12.360
<v Speaker 1>This is what's going to happen. Trump will release the transcript.

1:12:12.560 --> 1:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>It will not be nearly as damning as Democrats pretended

1:12:15.000 --> 1:12:17.519
<v Speaker 1>that it was. And then they'll say, ah, but we

1:12:17.560 --> 1:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>need the whistleblower complaint. Here's the problem. The whistleblower is

1:12:21.280 --> 1:12:24.719
<v Speaker 1>basing his complaint on a transcript or on a call

1:12:24.880 --> 1:12:29.200
<v Speaker 1>that he neither heard nor read the transcript of, So

1:12:29.240 --> 1:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>he's basing it on what someone told him. But then

1:12:32.320 --> 1:12:36.080
<v Speaker 1>they're going to elevate an obvious anti Trump deep state

1:12:36.200 --> 1:12:41.280
<v Speaker 1>loon into being the second coming of George Washington because

1:12:41.520 --> 1:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>he's now a hero of the resistance for his or

1:12:44.400 --> 1:12:50.479
<v Speaker 1>her whistleblower complaint. And I think about the mentality here.

1:12:51.160 --> 1:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>You hear about something that someone says the president said

1:12:54.280 --> 1:12:58.680
<v Speaker 1>on a phone call, and then you decide based on that,

1:12:58.760 --> 1:13:02.200
<v Speaker 1>without knowing anything, you're s elf that you are going

1:13:02.280 --> 1:13:08.120
<v Speaker 1>to you know, no, I'm sorry, that's not how it works.

1:13:10.800 --> 1:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna go forward with this in that way? No, no,

1:13:16.360 --> 1:13:19.439
<v Speaker 1>but that's what they're gonna say. They are going to

1:13:19.479 --> 1:13:23.640
<v Speaker 1>claim that the whistleblower he needs to be heard, the

1:13:23.680 --> 1:13:31.880
<v Speaker 1>whistleblower complaint needs to be heard. Huh why is that

1:13:31.920 --> 1:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the case? What does the whistleblower know that is more

1:13:35.000 --> 1:13:38.880
<v Speaker 1>than what is in the transcript? Folks? Oh, I see.

1:13:38.880 --> 1:13:41.680
<v Speaker 1>They want narrative creation. They want someone who works the

1:13:41.720 --> 1:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>intelligence community to say it for them. Okay, team, we've

1:13:43.880 --> 1:13:47.080
<v Speaker 1>been talking a lot about climate change. Un climate change

1:13:47.080 --> 1:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>a big topic there, obviously, young Greta Thunberg getting a

1:13:50.400 --> 1:13:53.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of headlines back and forth over that. I want

1:13:53.240 --> 1:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>to bring in somebody today who comes at this from

1:13:55.880 --> 1:13:58.639
<v Speaker 1>a science background. We hear so much from people who

1:13:59.240 --> 1:14:02.519
<v Speaker 1>are represent venting scientists in one way or another. I

1:14:02.560 --> 1:14:06.799
<v Speaker 1>thought i'd bring one on. We have Professor Roger Pielkey

1:14:06.920 --> 1:14:09.280
<v Speaker 1>with us now. He is Professor Environmental Studies at the

1:14:09.360 --> 1:14:13.400
<v Speaker 1>University of Colorado, Boulder. Professor Pielke, great to have you, sir,

1:14:14.040 --> 1:14:16.519
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for having me. So let's just start with this

1:14:17.000 --> 1:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>you said today. I mean, this is what caught my

1:14:18.840 --> 1:14:22.880
<v Speaker 1>attention initially on Twitter, that you are You're a professor

1:14:23.120 --> 1:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>of environmental studies and you are blocked by a lot

1:14:27.439 --> 1:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>of major media companies, The New York Times, Vox I

1:14:31.120 --> 1:14:33.599
<v Speaker 1>think you listed a few others. What's up with that, professor?

1:14:33.640 --> 1:14:37.519
<v Speaker 1>What did you do to upset the vox gods. Yeah,

1:14:37.520 --> 1:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a good question. I've published a lot of research

1:14:41.400 --> 1:14:45.759
<v Speaker 1>and academic peer review journals and been pretty outspoken about

1:14:46.040 --> 1:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>what it says. But some reporters at The New York Times,

1:14:50.880 --> 1:14:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post, Vox dot com, I've decided they don't want

1:14:54.400 --> 1:14:56.040
<v Speaker 1>to hear what I have to say. So wait, but

1:14:56.120 --> 1:14:58.639
<v Speaker 1>what did you have to say, professor? Don't don't stand

1:14:58.640 --> 1:15:02.639
<v Speaker 1>on ceremony. What were you telling them that bothered them? Yeah? Well,

1:15:02.680 --> 1:15:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the science of extreme events and disasters is

1:15:07.000 --> 1:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty robust, and right now hurricanes, floods, tornadoes are often

1:15:12.320 --> 1:15:14.960
<v Speaker 1>at the centerpiece of the climate change debate. But the

1:15:15.000 --> 1:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>reality is, if you look at the leading scientific assessments,

1:15:18.760 --> 1:15:21.599
<v Speaker 1>they are in some cases projected to increase in the future.

1:15:21.920 --> 1:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>But in the United States and the world, we have

1:15:23.680 --> 1:15:27.519
<v Speaker 1>not seen an increase in hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, or drought.

1:15:27.720 --> 1:15:30.479
<v Speaker 1>So so I'm gonna need to drill down this for

1:15:30.520 --> 1:15:33.880
<v Speaker 1>a second, because whether it's you know, Bill Maher or

1:15:34.040 --> 1:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>NBC News or CNN, you have all these people go

1:15:37.160 --> 1:15:40.959
<v Speaker 1>on TV and they constantly say storms are getting stronger,

1:15:41.120 --> 1:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>extreme weather is increasing, the wets are getting wetter, the

1:15:44.400 --> 1:15:47.519
<v Speaker 1>colds are getting colder, all this stuff you always hear.

1:15:48.080 --> 1:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>You are telling me that when it comes to extreme weather,

1:15:51.800 --> 1:15:55.920
<v Speaker 1>that is not true. Where would one go for sourcemanshow

1:15:56.200 --> 1:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>or if if I said that, you know, I'm going

1:15:58.439 --> 1:16:00.439
<v Speaker 1>to be at Politicon next month, I said that in

1:16:00.439 --> 1:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a room full of Democrats, they would all, you know,

1:16:03.040 --> 1:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>hoot and scream and say I was crazy. Where do

1:16:06.080 --> 1:16:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I go to point them? Where can I point them

1:16:08.080 --> 1:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to where they would be able to see that it

1:16:10.200 --> 1:16:13.080
<v Speaker 1>is not in fact true that extreme weather is get

1:16:13.160 --> 1:16:15.360
<v Speaker 1>just extreme weather, That fat is not happening in the

1:16:15.360 --> 1:16:18.559
<v Speaker 1>way that they say it is after every hurricane. Yeah,

1:16:18.560 --> 1:16:20.680
<v Speaker 1>So I mean the important thing, There's two things here.

1:16:20.960 --> 1:16:23.840
<v Speaker 1>One is you have to go phenomena by phenomena. So

1:16:23.880 --> 1:16:26.479
<v Speaker 1>it is true that there are more heat waves, more

1:16:27.200 --> 1:16:31.799
<v Speaker 1>high temperatures, there is more extreme precipitation, but not more floods.

1:16:32.439 --> 1:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And the place to go to get the actual data

1:16:35.280 --> 1:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>is the inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change, The IPCC.

1:16:39.360 --> 1:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>You can also go to the US National Climate Assessment

1:16:42.960 --> 1:16:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Document and then the official data if you want to

1:16:45.600 --> 1:16:49.439
<v Speaker 1>dig even deeper of our US agencies like NOAH and

1:16:49.520 --> 1:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the National Weather Service, NASA and EPA. Within the scientific community,

1:16:55.640 --> 1:16:59.760
<v Speaker 1>these statements are not particularly controversial since they are reflected

1:16:59.800 --> 1:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>in leading scientific assessments. It is, as you say, when

1:17:02.800 --> 1:17:05.599
<v Speaker 1>you get to the to the media discussion and then

1:17:05.640 --> 1:17:08.000
<v Speaker 1>some of the hot politics of the climate debate, where

1:17:08.040 --> 1:17:11.639
<v Speaker 1>things get they depart from what the science actually says.

1:17:11.720 --> 1:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>So so, based on the science, hurricanes getting worse as

1:17:16.120 --> 1:17:19.760
<v Speaker 1>a function of climate change that cannot be proven, is

1:17:19.800 --> 1:17:22.120
<v Speaker 1>that fair to say, Yeah, it's fair to say. I

1:17:22.120 --> 1:17:24.560
<v Speaker 1>mean in the United States. You know, we had a

1:17:24.600 --> 1:17:27.160
<v Speaker 1>paper come out last year looking at land following hurricanes

1:17:27.160 --> 1:17:29.800
<v Speaker 1>in the United States, and there's no trend either in

1:17:29.840 --> 1:17:33.080
<v Speaker 1>all hurricanes or the most intense hurricanes from nineteen hundred

1:17:33.320 --> 1:17:37.880
<v Speaker 1>till present. If you look at flooding, there's there is

1:17:38.000 --> 1:17:40.679
<v Speaker 1>no conclusion that flooding has increased in the United States

1:17:40.800 --> 1:17:44.120
<v Speaker 1>or the world. The same goes for drought. Tornadoes are

1:17:44.120 --> 1:17:47.200
<v Speaker 1>interesting because there is an indication that since nineteen fifty,

1:17:47.920 --> 1:17:49.800
<v Speaker 1>when we have good records, that there actually has been

1:17:49.840 --> 1:17:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a decline in the United States and tornadoes, so fewer tornadoes,

1:17:53.439 --> 1:17:55.120
<v Speaker 1>which is not a talking point you hear very often.

1:17:55.160 --> 1:17:57.639
<v Speaker 1>But I guess somebody could roll that one out there.

1:17:57.680 --> 1:18:01.080
<v Speaker 1>And folks, we're talking to Professor Roger Ki who's at

1:18:01.080 --> 1:18:04.959
<v Speaker 1>the University of Colorado Boulder. He's an environmental studies professor.

1:18:05.000 --> 1:18:08.760
<v Speaker 1>He studies the environment and Professor I also wanted you

1:18:08.800 --> 1:18:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to explain to everyone listening across the country your point

1:18:12.479 --> 1:18:16.440
<v Speaker 1>about see I often talk just as a layperson about

1:18:16.600 --> 1:18:18.760
<v Speaker 1>how over history you can see that there is a

1:18:18.880 --> 1:18:22.800
<v Speaker 1>natural process of decarbonizing in our energy sources that you know,

1:18:22.840 --> 1:18:26.200
<v Speaker 1>we went from We've gone from coal to mostly get

1:18:26.240 --> 1:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, gasoline gas and now natural gas, and now

1:18:28.960 --> 1:18:32.040
<v Speaker 1>we're getting closer to better renewables. There's a renewed interest

1:18:32.040 --> 1:18:34.800
<v Speaker 1>in nuclear there is a decarbonizing process that's happening as

1:18:34.840 --> 1:18:38.960
<v Speaker 1>a function of technology. But you've cited how much we

1:18:39.080 --> 1:18:43.200
<v Speaker 1>have decarbonized in recent years and then what it would

1:18:43.240 --> 1:18:46.280
<v Speaker 1>require to hit the UN targets, and there's a huge gap.

1:18:46.360 --> 1:18:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Could you just walk me through that. Yeah. Historically, the

1:18:50.320 --> 1:18:52.800
<v Speaker 1>way the economy works, both in the United States and

1:18:52.880 --> 1:18:55.599
<v Speaker 1>most countries around the world is we get better at

1:18:55.640 --> 1:18:58.720
<v Speaker 1>doing things. So anyone who's of a certain age, and

1:18:58.840 --> 1:19:01.280
<v Speaker 1>if you had a car in the nine seventies, nineteen eighties,

1:19:01.360 --> 1:19:03.280
<v Speaker 1>even nineteen nineties, you know the cars are a lot

1:19:03.280 --> 1:19:06.040
<v Speaker 1>more efficient. They run better now. When we get more efficient,

1:19:06.120 --> 1:19:09.080
<v Speaker 1>that's good because that helps grow our economy and people

1:19:09.160 --> 1:19:12.240
<v Speaker 1>like rising wealth. So accompanying with that is we emit

1:19:12.320 --> 1:19:16.400
<v Speaker 1>less carbon dioxide. What we haven't done and what we're

1:19:16.400 --> 1:19:17.840
<v Speaker 1>going to need to do in the future if we

1:19:17.880 --> 1:19:20.959
<v Speaker 1>are going to hit these aggressive targets for emissions reductions,

1:19:21.320 --> 1:19:22.960
<v Speaker 1>is we're going to have to change out much more

1:19:23.040 --> 1:19:25.599
<v Speaker 1>rapidly how we get our energy. It's not enough just

1:19:25.600 --> 1:19:28.360
<v Speaker 1>to be more efficient. We're going to have to change

1:19:28.360 --> 1:19:31.200
<v Speaker 1>out coal plants, natural gas plants. We're going to have

1:19:31.240 --> 1:19:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to get our cars off of petroleum. That's a huge,

1:19:35.000 --> 1:19:39.800
<v Speaker 1>huge task. And we are nowhere close, really anywhere in

1:19:39.800 --> 1:19:43.479
<v Speaker 1>the world to those rates of change that are implied

1:19:43.479 --> 1:19:46.080
<v Speaker 1>by these aggressive targets. So, yeah, the targets that and

1:19:46.200 --> 1:19:48.240
<v Speaker 1>forever and listening, I think it's fair to say, I'm professor.

1:19:48.280 --> 1:19:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to characterize your work or your beliefs,

1:19:50.280 --> 1:19:53.519
<v Speaker 1>but you're not somebody who I mean, I'm highly skeptical

1:19:53.560 --> 1:19:57.439
<v Speaker 1>of climate change as an issue that needs massive intergovernmental

1:19:57.520 --> 1:20:00.920
<v Speaker 1>action on pain of the extinction of human species, which

1:20:00.960 --> 1:20:02.680
<v Speaker 1>is what we've been hearing for the last well for

1:20:02.720 --> 1:20:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a long time, but certainly in the last week, you

1:20:04.640 --> 1:20:06.960
<v Speaker 1>believe the climate change, if I'm correct here based on

1:20:07.000 --> 1:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>what I've read of some of your writing, is a problem.

1:20:10.280 --> 1:20:12.280
<v Speaker 1>But we need to be serious about how we deal

1:20:12.280 --> 1:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>with the problem. Is that fair to say and not

1:20:14.040 --> 1:20:16.880
<v Speaker 1>just make wild statements about you know, we're going to

1:20:16.960 --> 1:20:18.760
<v Speaker 1>do this, We're going to be off everything in ten years.

1:20:18.760 --> 1:20:20.800
<v Speaker 1>But how would you describe where you come down in

1:20:20.800 --> 1:20:24.960
<v Speaker 1>this discussion? Yeah, I mean it's you're pretty accurate in

1:20:24.680 --> 1:20:27.439
<v Speaker 1>my views. I mean, if we had a choice and

1:20:27.479 --> 1:20:30.719
<v Speaker 1>you ask anybody, whatever their political orientation, is it better

1:20:30.800 --> 1:20:33.240
<v Speaker 1>to load up the atmosphere with carbon dioxide or not?

1:20:33.960 --> 1:20:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I think most everybody would say, yeah, it's probably not

1:20:36.000 --> 1:20:38.160
<v Speaker 1>a good idea to do that. People can argue about

1:20:38.160 --> 1:20:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the long term effects and if they're larger or small,

1:20:40.760 --> 1:20:43.280
<v Speaker 1>but at you know, first principles, it would seem that

1:20:43.320 --> 1:20:45.200
<v Speaker 1>if we don't have to do it, we probably shouldn't

1:20:45.240 --> 1:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>because we're we are introducing a chemical into the atmosphere

1:20:49.320 --> 1:20:52.280
<v Speaker 1>at levels that we haven't seen before. So if we

1:20:52.320 --> 1:20:54.040
<v Speaker 1>all can agree, well it's better not to do it

1:20:54.040 --> 1:20:55.800
<v Speaker 1>than to do it, then the question becomes, well, what

1:20:55.840 --> 1:20:58.080
<v Speaker 1>are our choices? How do how do we actually get

1:20:58.120 --> 1:21:01.720
<v Speaker 1>to a global economy where we're not emitting carbon dioxide?

1:21:02.240 --> 1:21:04.400
<v Speaker 1>And that's where the big gap is because if there

1:21:04.479 --> 1:21:08.120
<v Speaker 1>was energy sources that were perfectly clean, perfectly cheap and

1:21:08.240 --> 1:21:11.960
<v Speaker 1>easy to deploy, we wouldn't be having this big, broad globe.

1:21:12.200 --> 1:21:15.400
<v Speaker 1>And what do you say from the perspective of somebody

1:21:15.400 --> 1:21:17.960
<v Speaker 1>who was studying this as your life's work when you hear,

1:21:18.160 --> 1:21:21.840
<v Speaker 1>for example, Beto O'Rourke or I think there are many

1:21:21.880 --> 1:21:24.479
<v Speaker 1>politicians out there who are saying similar things. We're going

1:21:24.520 --> 1:21:28.599
<v Speaker 1>to be at zero carbonage or net zero carbon emissions,

1:21:28.640 --> 1:21:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I think is a specific phrase they use. By twenty

1:21:32.320 --> 1:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>fifty I mean one. I think any politician who is

1:21:34.680 --> 1:21:36.920
<v Speaker 1>looking thirty years in the future is pretending to know

1:21:37.040 --> 1:21:38.880
<v Speaker 1>a whole heck of a lot more than any human

1:21:38.920 --> 1:21:41.800
<v Speaker 1>being ever could. But beyond that, based on the trajectory

1:21:41.800 --> 1:21:45.799
<v Speaker 1>we're currently on, is that unless there are radical breakthroughs

1:21:45.800 --> 1:21:48.479
<v Speaker 1>in technology, which could very well happen any time, is

1:21:48.479 --> 1:21:51.599
<v Speaker 1>that realistic Net zero I mean, when China and India

1:21:51.680 --> 1:21:54.639
<v Speaker 1>are the biggest contributors to CO two, we're only fifteen

1:21:54.720 --> 1:21:57.400
<v Speaker 1>percent in America, how could we get to net zero

1:21:57.439 --> 1:22:01.519
<v Speaker 1>global emissions? Yeah, so net zero is if you want

1:22:01.520 --> 1:22:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to balance out carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, that's where

1:22:04.200 --> 1:22:06.360
<v Speaker 1>we have to end up at. And so there is

1:22:06.360 --> 1:22:09.960
<v Speaker 1>this auction of promises that politicians make. They say, well,

1:22:10.000 --> 1:22:12.599
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifty, and another politician says twenty nine, and another

1:22:12.680 --> 1:22:15.720
<v Speaker 1>says twenty forty five. But you know, the way you

1:22:15.720 --> 1:22:18.600
<v Speaker 1>can tell that a politician isn't super serious about a

1:22:18.600 --> 1:22:21.000
<v Speaker 1>topic is they're running for office in twenty twenty and

1:22:21.080 --> 1:22:23.920
<v Speaker 1>they're talking about a twenty fifty target. What we should

1:22:23.920 --> 1:22:26.120
<v Speaker 1>all be asking for is what's the target for twenty

1:22:26.160 --> 1:22:29.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, twenty twenty two. If you're lucky enough to

1:22:29.000 --> 1:22:30.560
<v Speaker 1>be in office for eight years, what's it going to

1:22:30.600 --> 1:22:35.000
<v Speaker 1>be for this decade? Because it's not as important exactly

1:22:35.000 --> 1:22:37.439
<v Speaker 1>where we end up, but where we start. And the

1:22:37.520 --> 1:22:40.400
<v Speaker 1>problem with climate policies it's never gotten out of the blocks.

1:22:41.080 --> 1:22:42.479
<v Speaker 1>It's done a lot of things, there's a lot of

1:22:42.520 --> 1:22:44.680
<v Speaker 1>talk and a lot of heat, but we haven't made

1:22:44.720 --> 1:22:48.720
<v Speaker 1>any progress towards accelerating that rate of decarbonization. We've got

1:22:48.720 --> 1:22:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to take the first steps before we can start talking

1:22:51.040 --> 1:22:53.320
<v Speaker 1>about net zero. Are you called based on some of

1:22:53.360 --> 1:22:56.160
<v Speaker 1>these premises you've put out, which to me all sounds

1:22:56.520 --> 1:23:00.080
<v Speaker 1>entirely reasonable, right that there's because I don't say what

1:23:00.240 --> 1:23:02.519
<v Speaker 1>one I mean, I can't pretend to really know. I

1:23:02.520 --> 1:23:05.080
<v Speaker 1>don't say that the climate isn't warming, that global warming

1:23:05.080 --> 1:23:07.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't exist in on capacity. I just know that I've

1:23:07.120 --> 1:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>been lied to a lot in the past about what

1:23:08.800 --> 1:23:10.280
<v Speaker 1>it's going to mean for the future. And so I

1:23:10.280 --> 1:23:13.599
<v Speaker 1>look at this with a very skeptical eye. But you're

1:23:13.640 --> 1:23:15.519
<v Speaker 1>looking at it from the perspective of somebody who studies

1:23:15.520 --> 1:23:17.760
<v Speaker 1>it all the time. And yet I get the sense

1:23:17.800 --> 1:23:21.519
<v Speaker 1>that if you said to certain audiences, and honestly, I

1:23:21.520 --> 1:23:23.559
<v Speaker 1>would say most people who are left of center across

1:23:23.600 --> 1:23:25.479
<v Speaker 1>the board and some people who write of center, if

1:23:25.520 --> 1:23:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you said to them what you've just said to me,

1:23:27.840 --> 1:23:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you would be called the climate denier. Does that happen

1:23:30.960 --> 1:23:33.840
<v Speaker 1>to you? Has that happened to you? Well, now now

1:23:34.200 --> 1:23:36.799
<v Speaker 1>we're getting back to why some people block me on Twitter.

1:23:37.720 --> 1:23:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think it's it's far more important to

1:23:40.040 --> 1:23:43.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about initial steps and the analogy I use is

1:23:43.280 --> 1:23:45.800
<v Speaker 1>extending human lifespan. Right. We could say, well, in a

1:23:45.920 --> 1:23:47.800
<v Speaker 1>hundred years, we want the average human lifespan to be

1:23:47.880 --> 1:23:49.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and four, and someone could yell at you

1:23:49.960 --> 1:23:51.479
<v Speaker 1>and say, oh, you don't have any ambition it should

1:23:51.479 --> 1:23:54.000
<v Speaker 1>be one hundred and eight. The reality is we have

1:23:54.040 --> 1:23:56.680
<v Speaker 1>to go from seventy nine to eighty to eighty one.

1:23:56.760 --> 1:24:00.639
<v Speaker 1>And you know, these long century long n which really

1:24:00.680 --> 1:24:04.680
<v Speaker 1>is what climate change in is, require incremental steps. So

1:24:04.720 --> 1:24:06.479
<v Speaker 1>what people want to know is tell me the cost

1:24:06.520 --> 1:24:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and benefits of the action we're going to take today, tomorrow,

1:24:09.960 --> 1:24:12.560
<v Speaker 1>next year, so I know how it affects my pocketbook,

1:24:12.640 --> 1:24:14.840
<v Speaker 1>what I can see in the environment Professor, Again, this

1:24:15.120 --> 1:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>all sounds entirely reasonable. I'm just wondering. You know, we

1:24:18.439 --> 1:24:21.080
<v Speaker 1>talked about how you've been blocked. Do other scientists come

1:24:21.080 --> 1:24:23.200
<v Speaker 1>after you for talking about this in this way? I mean,

1:24:23.200 --> 1:24:25.559
<v Speaker 1>are you persecuted for trying to be reasonable on the

1:24:25.560 --> 1:24:29.400
<v Speaker 1>issue of climate science? Yeah? Well I got academic ten years,

1:24:29.439 --> 1:24:33.320
<v Speaker 1>so persecution is there. You go word, But yeah, there

1:24:33.680 --> 1:24:36.679
<v Speaker 1>are a number of very loud voices in the climate

1:24:36.680 --> 1:24:39.680
<v Speaker 1>debate that try to squeeze others out, and you know,

1:24:41.280 --> 1:24:43.360
<v Speaker 1>you have to decide whether climate change is an issue

1:24:43.360 --> 1:24:45.160
<v Speaker 1>that we want to fight about, or climate change is

1:24:45.200 --> 1:24:46.960
<v Speaker 1>an issue that we want to come together and solve.

1:24:47.320 --> 1:24:48.800
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's up to all of us to

1:24:48.840 --> 1:24:51.320
<v Speaker 1>figure out, you know, is this something that we want

1:24:51.400 --> 1:24:53.519
<v Speaker 1>to work on, or is this something that you know,

1:24:53.520 --> 1:24:55.960
<v Speaker 1>it's really fun to have left right debates, and maybe

1:24:55.960 --> 1:24:58.160
<v Speaker 1>climate change is one of those. And I do think

1:24:58.160 --> 1:25:00.160
<v Speaker 1>there are a number of scientists who've gotten sucked into

1:25:00.240 --> 1:25:02.800
<v Speaker 1>that political vortex rather than talking about it as a

1:25:02.800 --> 1:25:06.320
<v Speaker 1>policy problem. All right, professor, we really appreciate you joining

1:25:06.400 --> 1:25:08.000
<v Speaker 1>us today. Interesting to get your point of view. A

1:25:08.040 --> 1:25:12.400
<v Speaker 1>professor Environmental Studies University at Colorado Boulder, Roger Pielke, Junior

1:25:12.680 --> 1:25:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Professor Pelke, thank you so much again, so you take

1:25:14.680 --> 1:25:26.600
<v Speaker 1>care you too. Thanks for having me. Welcome back to

1:25:26.600 --> 1:25:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the Buck Sexton Show. I wish that I could say

1:25:30.479 --> 1:25:35.040
<v Speaker 1>that the bad liberal ideas out there didn't have negative

1:25:35.080 --> 1:25:38.640
<v Speaker 1>consequences for real people, but of course they do. And

1:25:38.800 --> 1:25:41.360
<v Speaker 1>one of the areas where this is becoming increasingly apparent

1:25:41.520 --> 1:25:48.080
<v Speaker 1>is around the surge in homelessness. It's particularly bad in California,

1:25:48.240 --> 1:25:51.960
<v Speaker 1>which I believe now has half of the countries the

1:25:52.040 --> 1:25:54.919
<v Speaker 1>state of California I think now has half of the

1:25:55.200 --> 1:26:02.439
<v Speaker 1>entire United States homeless population, and it has jumped twenty

1:26:02.479 --> 1:26:07.879
<v Speaker 1>percent in just the last three years. Yep, California accounts

1:26:07.880 --> 1:26:10.840
<v Speaker 1>for a half of people living on the streets one state. Now,

1:26:11.000 --> 1:26:15.880
<v Speaker 1>it cannot go without notice that California is a liberal stronghold,

1:26:16.960 --> 1:26:21.759
<v Speaker 1>That California is a place that liberals have total political

1:26:21.800 --> 1:26:27.080
<v Speaker 1>control at the legislature, at the legislative level, for all

1:26:27.120 --> 1:26:30.599
<v Speaker 1>the major cities, at the mayoral level, I mean, just

1:26:30.640 --> 1:26:32.920
<v Speaker 1>all the way down, all right, California is the blue

1:26:33.160 --> 1:26:38.200
<v Speaker 1>the great blue Democrat wall. And now you look at

1:26:38.200 --> 1:26:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the homelessess problem and you say, okay, well, what can

1:26:40.120 --> 1:26:41.240
<v Speaker 1>we do to fix this. I've talked to you a

1:26:41.240 --> 1:26:42.559
<v Speaker 1>little bit about it, and I will say the more

1:26:42.600 --> 1:26:46.519
<v Speaker 1>I dig into it, the more my initial assessment is correct.

1:26:47.560 --> 1:26:51.080
<v Speaker 1>The numbers prove it out that this is a problem

1:26:51.120 --> 1:26:55.360
<v Speaker 1>that is particularly bad in the most liberal cities in

1:26:55.439 --> 1:26:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the United States. The places where liberal policies are enacted

1:26:59.320 --> 1:27:03.439
<v Speaker 1>with the greatest gusto are the areas that have the

1:27:03.439 --> 1:27:06.080
<v Speaker 1>worst problem of homelessess. Now, I'd said before, I think

1:27:06.120 --> 1:27:08.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe a week or two ago, that we do have

1:27:08.120 --> 1:27:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to remember that's sure, the climate place I don't mean

1:27:10.360 --> 1:27:12.479
<v Speaker 1>climate change, right, I know, we're just having a climate

1:27:12.560 --> 1:27:15.040
<v Speaker 1>change professor on I don't know. I hope you all

1:27:15.080 --> 1:27:17.280
<v Speaker 1>could could read between the lines there. And there's a

1:27:17.280 --> 1:27:20.040
<v Speaker 1>guy who's all, he doesn't study climate and he knows

1:27:20.120 --> 1:27:21.840
<v Speaker 1>that it's like not what they say it is, but

1:27:21.880 --> 1:27:24.680
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't want to. He doesn't want protesters outside of

1:27:24.680 --> 1:27:27.160
<v Speaker 1>his house. He's like, maybe I could convince them to

1:27:27.160 --> 1:27:28.720
<v Speaker 1>just be a little less crazy, and that's a better.

1:27:28.880 --> 1:27:32.559
<v Speaker 1>So I respect that approach where he's like convincing them

1:27:32.600 --> 1:27:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that even if we did what they say we should do,

1:27:35.560 --> 1:27:38.320
<v Speaker 1>that wouldn't be enough and that wouldn't save us. So

1:27:38.320 --> 1:27:41.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe we should think of something else. But anyway, I mean,

1:27:41.200 --> 1:27:43.760
<v Speaker 1>climate is in it's warm in California. Well, it turns

1:27:43.760 --> 1:27:47.320
<v Speaker 1>out that if you look at California versus Florida, which

1:27:47.640 --> 1:27:53.240
<v Speaker 1>have very similar climates year round, and particularly if it's

1:27:53.240 --> 1:27:55.719
<v Speaker 1>an issue of avoiding severe or cold on the streets,

1:27:55.720 --> 1:27:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Florida obviously gets it done. California has a far worse

1:27:59.280 --> 1:28:02.600
<v Speaker 1>problem of homes then Florida does, which, as we know,

1:28:02.680 --> 1:28:05.479
<v Speaker 1>is a much more politically, it's really a fifty fifty state. Politically,

1:28:05.560 --> 1:28:09.519
<v Speaker 1>it's very very close to split down the line, and

1:28:09.560 --> 1:28:11.080
<v Speaker 1>then you look at some of the numbers on this

1:28:11.240 --> 1:28:13.320
<v Speaker 1>last year. This is the Wall Street Journal today. Orange

1:28:13.320 --> 1:28:17.879
<v Speaker 1>County government cleared thirteen thousand, nine hundred and fifty needles,

1:28:18.600 --> 1:28:21.240
<v Speaker 1>four hundred and four tons of debris, and five two

1:28:21.320 --> 1:28:24.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy nine pounds of hazardous waste from a

1:28:24.439 --> 1:28:28.679
<v Speaker 1>homeless camp in the Santa Anna riverbed. Since two thousand

1:28:28.680 --> 1:28:33.320
<v Speaker 1>and nine, cases of fleaborne typhus have increased tenfold to

1:28:33.439 --> 1:28:36.400
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and seventy four. A homeless person in bel

1:28:36.479 --> 1:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Air started a fire in twenty seventeen that raised four

1:28:40.000 --> 1:28:44.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred acres and shut down West LA for several days.

1:28:45.720 --> 1:28:49.000
<v Speaker 1>A video recently went viral of a woman being assaulted

1:28:49.000 --> 1:28:51.880
<v Speaker 1>outside of San Francisco condo by an apparently mentally ill

1:28:51.960 --> 1:28:54.760
<v Speaker 1>homeless man. After being booked for the battery of the

1:28:54.760 --> 1:28:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street Journal, rights the assailant was released. A union

1:28:58.280 --> 1:29:03.639
<v Speaker 1>representing groundskeepers last week demanded pepper spray so workers can

1:29:03.680 --> 1:29:07.080
<v Speaker 1>defend themselves from homeless people after a rash of assaults

1:29:07.080 --> 1:29:12.599
<v Speaker 1>on them. What do you think democrats blame? Oh, that's right,

1:29:13.439 --> 1:29:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the rent is too high. Why is now that's not

1:29:17.000 --> 1:29:19.800
<v Speaker 1>even dealing with the fact that about a third at

1:29:19.920 --> 1:29:24.920
<v Speaker 1>least of the homeless in California have a severe mental

1:29:24.960 --> 1:29:30.440
<v Speaker 1>illness and or addiction problem. Right, So that's one component

1:29:30.479 --> 1:29:32.439
<v Speaker 1>of it that they just don't even deal with that.

1:29:32.520 --> 1:29:35.280
<v Speaker 1>But even if we're going to talk about housing scarcity,

1:29:35.360 --> 1:29:39.160
<v Speaker 1>if this is a market based issue, why is it

1:29:39.280 --> 1:29:41.599
<v Speaker 1>so much worse in California than it is in other places?

1:29:41.640 --> 1:29:47.639
<v Speaker 1>There are real reasons for that. This isn't just something

1:29:47.680 --> 1:29:49.519
<v Speaker 1>that you look at in a vacuum. You can look

1:29:49.560 --> 1:29:55.120
<v Speaker 1>at what the reality of California housing policy is. And

1:29:55.240 --> 1:30:00.280
<v Speaker 1>in California, it is very, very hard to build new

1:30:00.320 --> 1:30:05.679
<v Speaker 1>homes because of all the different regulations because they want

1:30:05.800 --> 1:30:09.960
<v Speaker 1>all sorts of environmentalists to be happy, they want people

1:30:10.040 --> 1:30:13.320
<v Speaker 1>to just the zoning restrictions and the this and the that,

1:30:13.439 --> 1:30:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and the climate change and all these things they throw together.

1:30:17.760 --> 1:30:20.759
<v Speaker 1>That's what makes it so much more difficult for people

1:30:20.760 --> 1:30:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to build housing, especially low income housing. And the state

1:30:25.000 --> 1:30:27.360
<v Speaker 1>does not do a very good job of this. The

1:30:27.479 --> 1:30:29.759
<v Speaker 1>moment that the state is in charge of creating the housing,

1:30:29.800 --> 1:30:32.680
<v Speaker 1>guess what, people know that that will it's never going

1:30:32.720 --> 1:30:37.679
<v Speaker 1>to rise in value. It also brings down the value

1:30:37.680 --> 1:30:39.680
<v Speaker 1>of all the homes around it. So anywhere where you

1:30:39.720 --> 1:30:44.560
<v Speaker 1>build a government housing is going to drop the surrounding

1:30:44.600 --> 1:30:49.040
<v Speaker 1>areas real estate property value, which also then has downstream

1:30:49.040 --> 1:30:52.800
<v Speaker 1>effects of increased crime and poverty and all all kinds

1:30:52.800 --> 1:30:57.320
<v Speaker 1>of things. It's not good. So what really needs to

1:30:57.360 --> 1:31:00.240
<v Speaker 1>happen here, Well, you'd have to have and understand ending

1:31:00.360 --> 1:31:04.320
<v Speaker 1>from the government that the government is not making this better.

1:31:04.600 --> 1:31:07.240
<v Speaker 1>The government California, the most liberal state in the country,

1:31:07.240 --> 1:31:09.160
<v Speaker 1>would have to step back and say, hold on a second.

1:31:09.560 --> 1:31:14.360
<v Speaker 1>The problem isn't the market. The problem is supposedly do

1:31:14.600 --> 1:31:19.320
<v Speaker 1>good or interference in the market by left wing political

1:31:19.320 --> 1:31:23.200
<v Speaker 1>activists and left wing politicians who think that if only

1:31:23.240 --> 1:31:26.600
<v Speaker 1>they can control more about the housing market, everybody and

1:31:26.640 --> 1:31:30.439
<v Speaker 1>everything will be much better off. It's just not true.

1:31:31.000 --> 1:31:33.360
<v Speaker 1>But as is unfortunately case with Oh that's right, we're

1:31:33.400 --> 1:31:37.040
<v Speaker 1>going there central planning all the time. The central planners

1:31:37.120 --> 1:31:40.280
<v Speaker 1>never think it's their mistake. There always must be some

1:31:40.360 --> 1:31:44.760
<v Speaker 1>other external enemy, There must be some other problem that

1:31:44.800 --> 1:31:47.080
<v Speaker 1>can be pointed to. So what is it here? Oh,

1:31:47.080 --> 1:31:49.679
<v Speaker 1>the rich aren't paying enough. They've already approved different tax

1:31:49.760 --> 1:31:52.720
<v Speaker 1>hikes on millionaires in California or on the wealthy, or

1:31:52.800 --> 1:31:56.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever that specific rate is. Do you think that's made

1:31:56.280 --> 1:31:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the homelessness problem any better. Of course not, and the

1:31:58.920 --> 1:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>money just gets squandered in Sacramento the moment that the

1:32:03.880 --> 1:32:08.120
<v Speaker 1>state government picks it up. What do we need market

1:32:08.160 --> 1:32:20.320
<v Speaker 1>solutions freedom? Let's government California won't buy into it. Today,

1:32:20.360 --> 1:32:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I have a message for those open border activists who

1:32:24.680 --> 1:32:30.120
<v Speaker 1>cloak themselves in the rhetoric of social justice. Your policies

1:32:30.320 --> 1:32:37.320
<v Speaker 1>are not just. Your policies are cruel and evil. You

1:32:37.360 --> 1:32:41.240
<v Speaker 1>are empowering criminal organizations that prey on innocent men, women,

1:32:41.280 --> 1:32:45.639
<v Speaker 1>and children. You put your own false sense of virtue

1:32:46.240 --> 1:32:52.000
<v Speaker 1>before the lives, wellbeing and countless innocent people. When you

1:32:52.080 --> 1:32:56.640
<v Speaker 1>undermine or to security, you are undermining human rights and

1:32:56.720 --> 1:33:01.360
<v Speaker 1>human dignity. Many of the kind she's here today are

1:33:01.439 --> 1:33:07.760
<v Speaker 1>coping with the challenges of uncontrolled migration. Each of you

1:33:07.960 --> 1:33:12.439
<v Speaker 1>has the absolute right to protect your borders, and so

1:33:12.520 --> 1:33:19.280
<v Speaker 1>of course does our country. Today, we must resolve to

1:33:19.360 --> 1:33:25.040
<v Speaker 1>work together to end human smuggling, end human trafficking, and

1:33:25.160 --> 1:33:29.280
<v Speaker 1>put these criminal networks out of business for good. We

1:33:29.400 --> 1:33:31.880
<v Speaker 1>haven't solved the immigration issue by a long shot in

1:33:31.920 --> 1:33:34.519
<v Speaker 1>this country. It was interesting to hear the present speak

1:33:34.560 --> 1:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>about it today at the United Nations you have all

1:33:37.960 --> 1:33:41.519
<v Speaker 1>these different countries assembled there, and they all, all of

1:33:41.560 --> 1:33:44.679
<v Speaker 1>them maintain the right to determine who comes and who goes,

1:33:45.360 --> 1:33:49.080
<v Speaker 1>who is a lawful entrance, and who is denied entry.

1:33:49.200 --> 1:33:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Some of them also deal with real refugee crises, meaning

1:33:52.439 --> 1:33:57.880
<v Speaker 1>people that are fleeing from violence, from misery, from certain death,

1:33:58.760 --> 1:34:01.599
<v Speaker 1>and they're just very well they're supposed to and generally

1:34:01.600 --> 1:34:04.599
<v Speaker 1>are very happy to be in a safe place, not

1:34:04.640 --> 1:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>necessarily looking to exploit the laws of the new country

1:34:07.920 --> 1:34:10.680
<v Speaker 1>they have arrived in, try to get through the system

1:34:10.760 --> 1:34:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and lie and do all the things that we are

1:34:13.920 --> 1:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>always being well that I tell you about. The mainstream

1:34:17.200 --> 1:34:19.400
<v Speaker 1>media does not want to tell you. I was making

1:34:19.439 --> 1:34:21.960
<v Speaker 1>sure I was trying to pull the number so that

1:34:22.040 --> 1:34:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I have it exactly right. But I'm pretty sure that

1:34:26.040 --> 1:34:28.760
<v Speaker 1>they have just released how many individuals. This is from

1:34:28.800 --> 1:34:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Customs Immigration Enforcement, and I will check on this to

1:34:31.320 --> 1:34:33.519
<v Speaker 1>make sure I'm giving the right number. But they think

1:34:33.520 --> 1:34:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that about six thousand people pretended to be in the

1:34:36.439 --> 1:34:40.519
<v Speaker 1>last fiscal year, six thousand people were pretending to be

1:34:40.720 --> 1:34:44.160
<v Speaker 1>relatives at our southern border who are not. It's not

1:34:44.240 --> 1:34:47.120
<v Speaker 1>one or two. It wasn't just a little thing here

1:34:47.200 --> 1:34:50.920
<v Speaker 1>or there. That's a lot, folks. That is a systematic

1:34:51.040 --> 1:34:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and systemic that is a clear and repeated fraud. And

1:34:57.160 --> 1:35:01.040
<v Speaker 1>why haven't you heard about that? Why hasn't this gotten

1:35:01.040 --> 1:35:04.160
<v Speaker 1>more attention? Well, because once again, I've been telling you

1:35:04.200 --> 1:35:06.120
<v Speaker 1>all along about the frauds that have been happening at

1:35:06.120 --> 1:35:08.560
<v Speaker 1>our southern border, the way that our laws have been exploited,

1:35:09.040 --> 1:35:11.839
<v Speaker 1>the way that the good faith and decency and honesty

1:35:11.880 --> 1:35:18.679
<v Speaker 1>of the American people has been exploited, and the liberal

1:35:18.680 --> 1:35:21.160
<v Speaker 1>media just doesn't want to cover it at all. They

1:35:21.240 --> 1:35:23.320
<v Speaker 1>like this, They like this story of Oh, all the

1:35:23.320 --> 1:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>people that are coming from Central America that are breaking

1:35:27.000 --> 1:35:29.479
<v Speaker 1>the law by not waiting in line to go through

1:35:29.520 --> 1:35:32.160
<v Speaker 1>at port of entry. All the people that are coming there,

1:35:32.920 --> 1:35:36.200
<v Speaker 1>they're doing so because they have no choice, because they're refugees.

1:35:36.200 --> 1:35:38.160
<v Speaker 1>They're not just migrants that are looking to skip the line.

1:35:38.520 --> 1:35:41.519
<v Speaker 1>This was These were all lies. They were lying to

1:35:41.560 --> 1:35:43.479
<v Speaker 1>you about this. I mean, they are clever enough, these

1:35:43.520 --> 1:35:47.559
<v Speaker 1>different news organizations, They are clever enough to know that

1:35:47.600 --> 1:35:51.679
<v Speaker 1>what they're saying is not accurate, to know that what

1:35:51.720 --> 1:35:54.160
<v Speaker 1>was going on at our southern border was a matter

1:35:54.280 --> 1:35:59.920
<v Speaker 1>of intentional and repeated fraud. But that was not part

1:36:00.000 --> 1:36:04.120
<v Speaker 1>with a narrative. They did not want to let people

1:36:04.400 --> 1:36:09.680
<v Speaker 1>in on what was really happening. So you know, now

1:36:09.360 --> 1:36:11.560
<v Speaker 1>when you take a look at what's going on on

1:36:11.600 --> 1:36:14.120
<v Speaker 1>the border, I think that the president has at least

1:36:14.120 --> 1:36:16.720
<v Speaker 1>been able to turn the tide a bit against what

1:36:16.800 --> 1:36:19.720
<v Speaker 1>had been going on in the past. I think the

1:36:19.760 --> 1:36:23.439
<v Speaker 1>president has at least started to build a wall. But

1:36:23.520 --> 1:36:25.760
<v Speaker 1>he has all these countries that are that are gathered there,

1:36:25.920 --> 1:36:28.759
<v Speaker 1>and America is the outlier in a couple of ways.

1:36:28.760 --> 1:36:32.839
<v Speaker 1>One is that we have half of our political class,

1:36:32.920 --> 1:36:36.679
<v Speaker 1>or one of our two major political parties, doesn't believe

1:36:36.840 --> 1:36:39.200
<v Speaker 1>that we really have a right to determine who can

1:36:39.240 --> 1:36:42.600
<v Speaker 1>stay in this country and who can we just have

1:36:42.800 --> 1:36:47.560
<v Speaker 1>seeded sovereignty, which is also why Trump's comments around globalists,

1:36:47.600 --> 1:36:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I think we're so important because that has been a

1:36:49.240 --> 1:36:52.400
<v Speaker 1>globalist project all along. If you eliminate borders, if you

1:36:52.400 --> 1:36:56.800
<v Speaker 1>eliminate national sovereignty, well then you do have the ability.

1:36:56.840 --> 1:37:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Then you do have the opening for one world government,

1:37:00.000 --> 1:37:01.479
<v Speaker 1>because if people can just come and go as they

1:37:01.520 --> 1:37:04.200
<v Speaker 1>please from any country, then no one country can have

1:37:04.240 --> 1:37:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a hold over them. You would have to just have

1:37:06.080 --> 1:37:09.360
<v Speaker 1>one system overseeing all of it. And I know that

1:37:09.400 --> 1:37:12.200
<v Speaker 1>this sounds radical, but look at what is happening already,

1:37:12.600 --> 1:37:15.280
<v Speaker 1>look at the radical shifts that we have been undergoing

1:37:15.680 --> 1:37:19.200
<v Speaker 1>in this country and also around the world. This is

1:37:19.240 --> 1:37:23.280
<v Speaker 1>all very real. So I'm going to continue to focus

1:37:23.400 --> 1:37:27.280
<v Speaker 1>in on the issue of our southern border migration. I

1:37:27.360 --> 1:37:29.519
<v Speaker 1>was glad the President spoke about it today, and I'm

1:37:29.560 --> 1:37:31.679
<v Speaker 1>glad that he has not allowed the media to completely

1:37:31.720 --> 1:37:36.080
<v Speaker 1>define this narrative because they have been lying to you

1:37:36.200 --> 1:37:45.559
<v Speaker 1>about this lying. We'll be back with roll call. Buck.

1:37:46.160 --> 1:38:01.400
<v Speaker 1>It's time for roll call. Roll call. Everybody here we go.

1:38:02.640 --> 1:38:05.639
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's uh, let's get to it. We face.

1:38:05.720 --> 1:38:08.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll start with the Facebook roll call. I'm trying to

1:38:08.479 --> 1:38:10.640
<v Speaker 1>not have a favorite among my role call children, but

1:38:11.400 --> 1:38:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Facebook tends to be easier because all the messages I

1:38:14.720 --> 1:38:17.320
<v Speaker 1>can use instead of email. I don't want to read

1:38:17.320 --> 1:38:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you guys about the new iHeartMedia Info SEC policy, but

1:38:22.120 --> 1:38:26.200
<v Speaker 1>because that can happen sometimes, um, let's see what is this?

1:38:26.240 --> 1:38:28.120
<v Speaker 1>By the way, sometimes I get these message on Facebook

1:38:28.160 --> 1:38:30.880
<v Speaker 1>where it's someone writes, Kenny, can you tell me more

1:38:30.880 --> 1:38:35.120
<v Speaker 1>about yourself? That's an automated message? Right, Why is that happening?

1:38:35.760 --> 1:38:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Because no, no, I'm not going to like, write my

1:38:37.920 --> 1:38:40.400
<v Speaker 1>book because you're a business on Facebook. Oh, because I'm

1:38:40.439 --> 1:38:43.600
<v Speaker 1>a business on Facebook. Okay, there we go. It's like,

1:38:43.640 --> 1:38:46.920
<v Speaker 1>if it was a hardware store, it would, yeah, the

1:38:46.920 --> 1:38:51.360
<v Speaker 1>business of Buck, the business of Buck in the Freedom Hut.

1:38:51.520 --> 1:38:53.559
<v Speaker 1>We could do that. That'd be fun. I don't even know.

1:38:54.040 --> 1:38:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that business would the business your

1:38:57.320 --> 1:39:02.160
<v Speaker 1>royal Buckness. Oh, hello, royal Buckedness. Here, it's making lots

1:39:02.200 --> 1:39:07.400
<v Speaker 1>of lots of pounds staling. All right, we have brand

1:39:07.560 --> 1:39:11.080
<v Speaker 1>in all right, hey, box shields high. Yes, sir, you

1:39:11.160 --> 1:39:16.439
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Potawatami and we're unsure what it was. Potawatami are

1:39:16.479 --> 1:39:19.400
<v Speaker 1>a Native American people of the Great Plains, Upper Mississippi

1:39:19.479 --> 1:39:24.240
<v Speaker 1>River and western Great Lakes region. I happen to be pokagon,

1:39:24.800 --> 1:39:28.799
<v Speaker 1>a band of the Potawatamie Indians. Oh, very cool, unlike

1:39:29.280 --> 1:39:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Poka Honky Polka hants aka Elizabeth Warren. I don't have

1:39:35.280 --> 1:39:40.080
<v Speaker 1>high cheekbones, but I do have a tribal id number.

1:39:40.120 --> 1:39:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for holding the line, brother Airborne all the way

1:39:43.120 --> 1:39:45.479
<v Speaker 1>all right, Brandon, thank you so much for writing in.

1:39:45.680 --> 1:39:55.439
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it. Carolyn three Caroline ba ba bab, I'm

1:39:55.560 --> 1:39:58.200
<v Speaker 1>so drug. I'm on a thing. You know, that's what

1:39:58.240 --> 1:40:00.680
<v Speaker 1>they always do in the in the early morning of

1:40:00.720 --> 1:40:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the Saturday night bar scene. You know, that's the song.

1:40:04.439 --> 1:40:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Although we've already talked about this and I know that

1:40:06.280 --> 1:40:08.680
<v Speaker 1>we decided that Don't Stop Believing is the ultimate late

1:40:08.760 --> 1:40:11.800
<v Speaker 1>night bar song. Although bon Jovie Living on a Prayer

1:40:11.840 --> 1:40:14.680
<v Speaker 1>wants to have a word, I am just saying they

1:40:14.680 --> 1:40:17.240
<v Speaker 1>are both great choices. That's true. You can't go wrong

1:40:17.280 --> 1:40:19.600
<v Speaker 1>either way. I'm I actually I'm with you on that.

1:40:20.560 --> 1:40:22.760
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's like when people get all get all

1:40:23.200 --> 1:40:25.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, upity about whether chocolate or vanilla is a

1:40:25.080 --> 1:40:27.679
<v Speaker 1>better ice cream flavor. They're both great, It's fine. Either

1:40:27.680 --> 1:40:30.759
<v Speaker 1>one is acceptable. Just don't true. Just don't go strawberry chocolate.

1:40:30.800 --> 1:40:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Just don't go. I mean, look, I'm a chocolate guy too,

1:40:32.600 --> 1:40:35.080
<v Speaker 1>but just don't go strawberry because I'll agree with that,

1:40:35.120 --> 1:40:36.840
<v Speaker 1>because we're trying to be civilized here. We just we

1:40:36.880 --> 1:40:38.360
<v Speaker 1>just don't go. You know, it's the number three most

1:40:38.360 --> 1:40:40.519
<v Speaker 1>p I've never seen anyone go. I've never in my

1:40:40.560 --> 1:40:43.760
<v Speaker 1>life seen anyone go into an ice cream's parlor and

1:40:43.760 --> 1:40:46.679
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh, all the like, you know, I love

1:40:46.680 --> 1:40:51.120
<v Speaker 1>that you have butter Scotch and pistachio. I want the strawberry.

1:40:51.160 --> 1:40:53.519
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen it happen. It's apparently the third most

1:40:53.560 --> 1:40:56.120
<v Speaker 1>popular ice cream flavor. That's not ice cream, that's sherbird.

1:40:56.720 --> 1:41:00.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm dusting. It's just, you know, I'm not into flavored

1:41:00.680 --> 1:41:02.599
<v Speaker 1>ice cream in general. I agree with you. It's it's

1:41:02.600 --> 1:41:06.040
<v Speaker 1>really sorebet. If I'm eating ice cream, it's fun something

1:41:06.040 --> 1:41:09.000
<v Speaker 1>bad for me, exactly. You want to go in you know,

1:41:09.280 --> 1:41:10.880
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna be in the paint, you go hard

1:41:10.920 --> 1:41:14.360
<v Speaker 1>in the paint, like Rodman and Malone. Back in the day,

1:41:15.920 --> 1:41:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I used to watch the first time You've ever made

1:41:17.360 --> 1:41:21.040
<v Speaker 1>a sports reference one? Right, thank you? You know I

1:41:21.160 --> 1:41:23.400
<v Speaker 1>used to I used to watch that. I used to

1:41:23.400 --> 1:41:25.160
<v Speaker 1>watch professional sports. I just at the time, I got

1:41:25.160 --> 1:41:27.599
<v Speaker 1>too much to do to try to keep this show

1:42:25.479 --> 1:42:30.519
<v Speaker 1>It will be good times, good things all around. Let's

1:42:30.560 --> 1:42:36.120
<v Speaker 1>see what we got here, Matt. Here you go. Matt writes,

1:42:36.120 --> 1:42:39.360
<v Speaker 1>your segment on phone news about the environment was disgraceful.

1:42:39.400 --> 1:42:41.479
<v Speaker 1>If you are a true Christian, it says in the

1:42:41.520 --> 1:42:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Bible to be good stewards of what we were given.

1:42:43.800 --> 1:42:47.679
<v Speaker 1>That includes the planet numb nuts, So quit attacking children

1:42:47.840 --> 1:42:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that are smarter. Yes, I love this. The sixteen year

1:42:52.120 --> 1:42:56.960
<v Speaker 1>olds that are smarter than me. Oh man, yeah, you're

1:42:57.040 --> 1:43:00.519
<v Speaker 1>right us Well i'd call ed calling me nuts. I

1:43:00.640 --> 1:43:02.640
<v Speaker 1>like this, Why why do they always go to this?

1:43:03.240 --> 1:43:06.439
<v Speaker 1>It's like, guys, you sound like such a moron. Okay,

1:43:06.640 --> 1:43:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean I know more than most people who are

1:43:08.880 --> 1:43:11.000
<v Speaker 1>in their seventies. Like, what is this like age that

1:43:11.080 --> 1:43:12.880
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna play. You're gonna tell me that the sixteen

1:43:12.960 --> 1:43:15.760
<v Speaker 1>year old knows a lot? I mean, this is just

1:43:16.120 --> 1:43:19.600
<v Speaker 1>such a stupid thing to say. It's so dumb. This

1:43:19.840 --> 1:43:22.639
<v Speaker 1>is the refuge of very, very dumb people. The sixteen

1:43:22.760 --> 1:43:27.479
<v Speaker 1>year old is smarter than you are. No, she's really not, so,

1:43:28.720 --> 1:43:30.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, can we just stop with that. It's so

1:43:31.200 --> 1:43:33.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like saying she's taller than me. She's also not.

1:43:34.360 --> 1:43:38.320
<v Speaker 1>So can we just not say that? Please? Such a

1:43:38.439 --> 1:43:43.600
<v Speaker 1>weird place to go. Ah. Now, if you're gonna say, oh, now,

1:43:43.600 --> 1:43:46.160
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna it's smarter. I'm not talking about brain power

1:43:46.280 --> 1:43:50.439
<v Speaker 1>per se. I'm talking about knowledge and wisdom and experience. Okay,

1:43:50.560 --> 1:43:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that's how I would define smart. Here. There's a reason

1:43:53.000 --> 1:43:55.479
<v Speaker 1>we don't let sixteen year olds vote. Although, if you're

1:43:55.520 --> 1:43:58.360
<v Speaker 1>a sixteen year old Nils into this show, you're very smart,

1:43:58.400 --> 1:44:01.599
<v Speaker 1>and you're smarter than most adults. So thank you, welcome

1:44:01.640 --> 1:44:07.759
<v Speaker 1>to team Buck. Pleased to have you, uh, Steven Rights.

1:44:08.720 --> 1:44:11.960
<v Speaker 1>You're not kid bashing your chicken little bashing shields high. Well,

1:44:12.080 --> 1:44:17.960
<v Speaker 1>thank you, Stephen. I appreciate that. I think that it's

1:44:18.040 --> 1:44:20.400
<v Speaker 1>it's important that we stand up for what's true. And no,

1:44:21.240 --> 1:44:24.160
<v Speaker 1>no honest, fair minded person could really believe that I

1:44:24.479 --> 1:44:28.000
<v Speaker 1>was engaged in kid bashing. It's just not true. It's

1:44:28.080 --> 1:44:32.960
<v Speaker 1>just not reality. So let's just be honest about that. Um,

1:44:33.439 --> 1:44:40.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what I'm here for. Here we go. Oh another one, No,

1:44:40.520 --> 1:44:42.719
<v Speaker 1>this is another angry one. I'm not gonna keep reading

1:44:42.760 --> 1:44:47.439
<v Speaker 1>the angry ones. Off. All right, we got John who rights?

1:44:47.760 --> 1:44:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Here we go? Whoa Buck. I really enjoy your radio program.

1:44:52.240 --> 1:44:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I catch it after Hannity Show on the Patriot Network

1:44:54.600 --> 1:44:58.719
<v Speaker 1>seven sixty A m. Denver. Whoo. I wanted to comment

1:44:58.760 --> 1:45:01.120
<v Speaker 1>on something you touch upon the this evening talking about

1:45:01.120 --> 1:45:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the unique friendship of Judge Ginsburg and Justice Scalia and

1:45:05.560 --> 1:45:08.360
<v Speaker 1>how it's very unusual today's society. In my opinion, I

1:45:08.439 --> 1:45:11.719
<v Speaker 1>believe it is the incredible transformation of the Democratic Party.

1:45:12.080 --> 1:45:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I used to have many friends who are Democrats, and

1:45:14.200 --> 1:45:17.679
<v Speaker 1>I could have a meaningful dialogue with them, usually disagreeing,

1:45:17.760 --> 1:45:20.759
<v Speaker 1>uncertain policies. I noticed when I was critical of Obama,

1:45:21.240 --> 1:45:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I was declared a racist by these same friends who

1:45:23.800 --> 1:45:26.639
<v Speaker 1>had no problem with me being critical of Clinton. I've

1:45:26.640 --> 1:45:28.960
<v Speaker 1>been called the white supremacist by these same tolered people

1:45:29.040 --> 1:45:32.360
<v Speaker 1>just because I'm a supporter of President Trump. I believe

1:45:32.400 --> 1:45:35.000
<v Speaker 1>a majority of today's Democrats have no problem with socialism,

1:45:35.080 --> 1:45:37.479
<v Speaker 1>which I want no part of. I do not want

1:45:37.520 --> 1:45:40.040
<v Speaker 1>to remain friends with people whose political beliefs mirror AOC

1:45:40.200 --> 1:45:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Sanders and Warren. I wish them no ill will, but

1:45:43.400 --> 1:45:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I want nothing to do with people who will vote

1:45:45.240 --> 1:45:48.000
<v Speaker 1>for people like Warren Sanders and show so much disdain

1:45:48.080 --> 1:45:51.000
<v Speaker 1>for President Trump, regardless of their hearts in the right

1:45:51.040 --> 1:45:54.800
<v Speaker 1>place they're thinking reasoning is extremely dangerous. I truly believe

1:45:54.880 --> 1:45:57.439
<v Speaker 1>this coming election is one of liberty versus tyranny. Just

1:45:57.640 --> 1:45:59.719
<v Speaker 1>my opinion on the subject. Thank you for your service

1:46:00.080 --> 1:46:01.840
<v Speaker 1>to our country, and have a great rest of week.

1:46:01.920 --> 1:46:06.000
<v Speaker 1>God bless John, Well John, thank you appreciate you listening

1:46:06.040 --> 1:46:09.960
<v Speaker 1>to the show. Good to talk to you. Yeah, so

1:46:10.080 --> 1:46:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that's all good thing. Here we go, Steven doesn't the

1:46:13.960 --> 1:46:17.760
<v Speaker 1>climate change girl? Oh no, I can't read that. Let's

1:46:17.760 --> 1:46:21.519
<v Speaker 1>see what else we got here? Woo we have. It's

1:46:21.520 --> 1:46:23.439
<v Speaker 1>been the role call ever since, ever since I was

1:46:23.520 --> 1:46:26.400
<v Speaker 1>a child, Basher role call has been a little more

1:46:26.400 --> 1:46:31.160
<v Speaker 1>spicy Hunter. Let's see what Hunter's got here. Stop with

1:46:31.240 --> 1:46:34.080
<v Speaker 1>this book and appointment I'm not booking appointments. I know

1:46:34.200 --> 1:46:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that's just a Facebook thing. But being that you're an

1:46:39.360 --> 1:46:42.160
<v Speaker 1>actual security expert, I assume this is necessary, especially being

1:46:42.640 --> 1:46:46.920
<v Speaker 1>considering today's political climate, and it's Mike Pence on Mackinac

1:46:47.080 --> 1:46:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Island in Michigan with an eight car motorcade the vice president.

1:46:52.160 --> 1:46:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, guys, you know the Lib media freaks

1:46:54.560 --> 1:46:58.800
<v Speaker 1>out about everything, and what we have here is, you know,

1:46:58.920 --> 1:47:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the Lib media deciding that the vice president's security considerations

1:47:04.360 --> 1:47:06.479
<v Speaker 1>don't matter. I guess all of a sudden, you know, look,

1:47:06.479 --> 1:47:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't I'm not in the Secret Service. I don't

1:47:08.080 --> 1:47:10.240
<v Speaker 1>know how they do specifically this kind of an assessment,

1:47:10.680 --> 1:47:14.639
<v Speaker 1>but I am quite confident that there are security concerns

1:47:14.680 --> 1:47:17.840
<v Speaker 1>with having the vice president on an island exposed as

1:47:17.880 --> 1:47:21.120
<v Speaker 1>he travels around, let's say, on a tricycle the whole time.

1:47:21.400 --> 1:47:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm willing to bet that's an issue and that was

1:47:24.760 --> 1:47:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a problem here. Let's see what else we have here.

1:47:33.160 --> 1:47:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Steve Right the financial collapse. H we got one of these.

1:47:39.040 --> 1:47:42.160
<v Speaker 1>The financial collapse has begun. It started last Monday when

1:47:42.160 --> 1:47:44.439
<v Speaker 1>the Federal Reserve began bailing out multiple banks in the

1:47:44.520 --> 1:47:47.240
<v Speaker 1>repo market, but it wasn't enough. Now the Federal Reserve

1:47:47.280 --> 1:47:50.600
<v Speaker 1>has committed to continue the bailout by printing money in

1:47:50.600 --> 1:47:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the billions daily for the next three weeks to save

1:47:52.479 --> 1:47:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the banks. Without printing new money, the banking system in

1:47:54.840 --> 1:47:57.719
<v Speaker 1>America would fail eventually, either the banks will or hyper

1:47:57.880 --> 1:48:00.400
<v Speaker 1>hyperinflation will happen. The latter, is my guest, Steve. I'm

1:48:00.439 --> 1:48:02.639
<v Speaker 1>just kidding, man. I mean, you could be right, because remember,

1:48:02.680 --> 1:48:05.120
<v Speaker 1>all the smart people think that they know when there's

1:48:05.160 --> 1:48:08.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be a terrible event for our economy, and

1:48:08.920 --> 1:48:13.360
<v Speaker 1>they never seem to actually figure this out in time, right,

1:48:13.400 --> 1:48:17.439
<v Speaker 1>they never actually know when it's going to be. So

1:48:18.120 --> 1:48:20.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a problem. Right, If you can't tell beforehand, that's

1:48:20.280 --> 1:48:22.600
<v Speaker 1>probably not that good. All Right, I'm gonna be on

1:48:22.760 --> 1:48:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Kennedy on the panel on Fox Business. If you guys

1:48:24.640 --> 1:48:27.160
<v Speaker 1>want to tune into that. If you hear this live,

1:48:27.360 --> 1:48:31.719
<v Speaker 1>you can because it's nine Eastern, or you could just DVR,

1:48:32.000 --> 1:48:33.760
<v Speaker 1>which is also fun. Is I think they've replayed at

1:48:33.760 --> 1:48:37.400
<v Speaker 1>midnight maybe on Fox Business and yes, good things, good things.

1:48:37.479 --> 1:48:39.320
<v Speaker 1>So next week is when we are going to stay

1:48:39.320 --> 1:48:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait, are we gonna have the podcast up three

1:48:41.840 --> 1:48:47.880
<v Speaker 1>o'clock on Thursday? Producer Mark I believe so who Thursday?

1:48:49.200 --> 1:48:51.800
