1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: We cover a lot. We're gonna keep covering a lot 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: because we've got the New York City mayor's election, the 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey. Go vote, go vote. 4 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: I voted for my Miami Beach mayor here and and commissioners. 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: Clay voted for Franklin Aldermstle or the aldermen or whatever 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: over there. I'm not even sure exactly what the Alderman does, 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: but I went and voted. Uh yeah, you got to 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: make sure you got the right alderman or else. All 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: hell's going to break loose, and you know, you might 10 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: have some I don't even know what going on in 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: in the town of Franklin. You know, you could have people, 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: you could have people where I live a little bit, 13 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: as you say, you could have people thinking they can 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: just drive the golf cart all the way into town, 15 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: like what's going on? You know, civilization, friends, we can't 16 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: just let these things happen. So yeah, we are going 17 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: to follow this. UF also talk a little bit about 18 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: California where Gavin Newsom. So much of this is it's interesting, 19 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: it's just it's just tapping into Democrat frustration. Clay, I 20 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: think that's in all of these races. 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 2: It's certainly true. 22 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: Virginia, New York, in California and New Jersey where Democrats 23 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: feel like their party has been because it has been 24 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: outplayed by Trump and the Republicans. They're losing and losing 25 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: and losing again this year in their opposition to Trump 26 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: and their opposition to his agenda. So this is just 27 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: an opportunity to vent their spleen a bit with a 28 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: vote against whatever the Republican option is. I don't think 29 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: it really even gets in for most people. I don't 30 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: think it real even gets into what they think is 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: going to happen here, because cost of living is such 32 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: a big thing in New York, in California and Virginia too, 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: especially if you get closer to DC, and Democrats will 34 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: make it worse. Guaranteed, they will make it worse because 35 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: even what they do to make it seem like it 36 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: might improve in the short term is to just squeeze 37 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: the balloon at one side, right, to redistribute the well, 38 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: to find some way to subsist. And we see this 39 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: with Obamacare, which I still wish people would pay more 40 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: attention to this play. We're still in a shutdown everybody, 41 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: which is gonna end after the election, all ties in, 42 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: I might add, right, Democrats government shut down, getting people frustrated, 43 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: making people think, oh, the Democrats are standing up, they're fighting. Well, 44 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: what are they fighting for? Exactly? Like, how are they 45 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: making anyone's life better? Ah, forget about that. They're fighting. 46 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: Its emotional manipulation in place of an argument. It's very effective, 47 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: unfortunately in mass psychology and mass politics. But the Democrat 48 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: offerings on all this stuff, like Obamacare specifically, is to 49 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: ignore market reality and to make promises that they can't keep. 50 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: And you're gonna see a lot more of that. Gavin Newsome. Meanwhile, 51 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: I didn't get to yesterday, Clay. I meant this is 52 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: a little bit of a pickup because I'm about to 53 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: talk about public safety. We talked about DC in the 54 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: crime situation there and how who was it it was. 55 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: Nora O'Donnell was like, well, I just go to work 56 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's safer on the streets 57 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: because she doesn't want to admit it on camera. That 58 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: Trump is right. The murder rate since Trump has tried 59 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: to do his security plan in DC is down sixty percent, okay, 60 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: six zero percent dropping the murder rate, and all crime 61 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: is down substantially almost thirty percent I think in DC 62 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: year to date, with a big chunk of that coming 63 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: since Trump. So it is working. It's not perfect, but 64 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: it's working. No one thought it would be perfect, meaning 65 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: that there'd be no murders or no crime, but it's 66 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: substantially improving the situation. Meanwhile, you know what Gavin Newsom's 67 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: worried about, not whether people feel safe on the streets 68 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: or they're going to be harassed by some maniac, but 69 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: of course immigration play nineteen. 70 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: People are on edge, communities of color on edge. I 71 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: mean folks scared to death to go out trick or 72 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 3: treating the other night, Scared to walk their dogs, go 73 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: to a playground, go to a park, go to a 74 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 3: loved one's funeral, because they might be disappeared on the 75 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 3: basis of what they look like, where they congregate, the 76 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: language they speak. In the United States of America today, 77 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: you've heard notion of a private police force that appears 78 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: to have taken oath office to the President of the 79 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: United States, not to the United States Constitution. 80 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: All just just hyperbolic, fear mongering blather. Are they illegals? 81 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: And also this notion they're being disappeared. They're not being disappeared. 82 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: They're being detained, processed and returned to their country three 83 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: flight back to where they actually should be. 84 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 2: I think we just have to prepare for this. I would. 85 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: I know it's still a. 86 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: Year away from the midterms, and I know we're not 87 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: going to start the twenty twenty eight presidential cycle until January. 88 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: It's going to be Newsome. It's going to be Newsome. 89 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: It's gonna be Newsome, and he's gonna lie blatantly like this. 90 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: Do we still have Gavin Newsom? I don't think we 91 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: played it yesterday, but we play Newsom saying the one 92 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: let's met Greg you can grab that. I think we 93 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: had it yesterday, but when Newsom said it went megaviral. 94 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: I hate when politicians. 95 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: Lie, you know, and he's like moving his hands and 96 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: moving his face awkwardly, and it's just so diabolically sinister, 97 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: because I don't know that anybody lies more than Newsome. 98 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: And by the way, there's a difference between getting a 99 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: factor too wrong in sort of hyperbole and blatantly lying, 100 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: and Gavin Newsom is just such a blatant liar. And 101 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: the reality is I think you have to have a 102 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: blatant liar on the ticket because Democrats are wrong about everything. 103 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: I mean, they really are, by and large. It used 104 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: to be you could be a reasonable person and you 105 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: could look at the two parties and you could say, hey, 106 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: you know what, I disagree with my party on this 107 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: perspective or this issue, even though I might vote the 108 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: other way. I can't even think of what Democrats are. 109 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: It used to be Democrats would say, hey, we know healthcare. 110 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: They're destroying everything having. 111 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: To do with insurance. Nobody can't even afford healthcare anymore. 112 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: If you are looking for something that Republicans and this 113 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: could have time to another news item that Republicans I 114 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: think look back on and say, Okay, we actually got 115 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: that one wrong. I think it's the Iraq War as 116 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: a party, which Trump among others have said that was 117 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: the we were on the wrong side. We weren't on 118 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: the wrong side of Afghanistan a post nine eleven, but 119 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: the Iraq War thing. But the thing about the Republicans 120 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: there is Democrat establishment went along with it too. Yeah, right, 121 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: the Hillary Clinton, all that, you know, the Schumer, all 122 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: the Democrats were in favor of it. As well, but 123 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: it was the charge was led by a Republican administration 124 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: to be fair, and that included Dick Cheney, who just 125 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: passed away. And we haven't mentioned this, but Dick Cheney 126 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: just five what is the eighty four? I think he 127 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: just died in early this morning, early morning. Yeah, at 128 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: last twenty four hours he passed away. I remember meeting 129 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: the Vice president on several occasions when he was the 130 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,119 Speaker 1: Vice president in the Oval Office, and I will tell you, Clay, 131 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: it was we had multiple wars going on a very 132 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: different Oval Office experience as a young CIA analyst briefing 133 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: then Vice President Cheney than what we got when Clay 134 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: and Bucks show up to hang out with Trump in 135 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: the Oval I mean just night. And it didn't even 136 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: feel like the same movie set, the same universe. It's 137 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: just a totally different feeling. There was an intensity and 138 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: a solemnity under those Bush years because of nine to 139 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: eleven and everything else. And you walked in there and 140 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: you made sure your jacket and tie were crisp, and 141 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: it was yes, mister President. Nos President. You know, we 142 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: went in there and saw Trump, but he's like we 143 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: got the owner of the Saints, come on in here, 144 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: we got JD. We got you know. It was it 145 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: was like, we will check out the new guilt that 146 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: I put in the you know, cabinet was showing us 147 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: cool stuff. He's like, isn't a beautiful look at this painting? 148 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: Redid this painting? Beautiful painting. It was just a very 149 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: different feeling. But Yeah, Dick Cheney passed away. He became 150 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: very contrayr I think, more controversial actually in some ways 151 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: after he left office, with the legacy of the Iraq War. 152 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: And also to be fair, he and his daughter refused 153 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: endorsing Kamala over Trump in the twenty twenty I knew 154 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: his daughter did. I actually forgot that he did until 155 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: you just mentioned that to me now, which is insane. Yeah, 156 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: that's that's personal bitterness overriding political. Look, I think he 157 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: just passed away. And I know we're not supposed to 158 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: speak ill of the dead. I'm not going to. I'm 159 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: not trying to speak ill of someone who just passed away. 160 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: I think Dick Cheney was a patriot. I think he 161 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: loved his country, and I think he did what he 162 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: thought was best for the country. And I think a 163 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that was used to attack him 164 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: about how it was like he was enriching him that 165 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: that actually wasn't and even the unitary chief executive attacks 166 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: on Dick Cheney, I mean, those are he believed that 167 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: the president had the authority to make important decisions. I 168 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: was in the Oval office, and I could tell you 169 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: that the vice press watching them make decisions and discuss 170 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: at various points, and the vice president was deferential to 171 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: George W. Bush as president, this notion that he was 172 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: the puppet master and buch Bush the media this because 173 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: they could get away with this class. I'm not trying 174 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: to get diverted. I now we got election day here, 175 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: but I think the media lied to people so much 176 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: about George W. Bush that they have this complete They weren't, 177 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: you know, because of Trump and the way he did 178 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: things by going right to them and bypassing the media. 179 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: People's conception of who George W. Bush is a lot 180 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: of just every day and Eric is a complete caricature. 181 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: The guy was not dumb. The guy was not shy 182 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: about leadership and making decisions and was actually very on. 183 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: He wasn't a scholar of Middle Eastern history, you know. 184 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: But guess what neither is Kamala or Biden or any 185 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: of them, right, But the notion that he was some 186 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: sort of buffoon and was bumbling in an idiot is absurd, 187 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: not true at all. And not only that, I mean, 188 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: it's it's funny. They remember early in Trump two point zero, 189 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: it did at work because it's Trump. You can't call 190 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: somebody a dictator and then be like they tried to 191 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: say that Trump wasn't president. Remember they tried to say 192 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: president elon. They tried to demean the person in the 193 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: chief executive office, the president of the United States. And 194 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: so the argument when Bush was there was o' cheney's 195 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: the actual president. They tried to argue, Oh, Trump's there, 196 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: Elon's the president. You ever hear anybody argue that Obama 197 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: wasn't the president when Obama was in office. You ever 198 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: hear anybody argue Clinton wasn't the president when Clinton was 199 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: in office, whatever you thought of their vice president. Now, 200 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: to be fair, during Biden, people may have accurately said, 201 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: it's actually Obama who's still president. To be fair, during Clinton, 202 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: there may have been moments where he was busy, otherwise occupied, 203 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: not really indisposed of the country. Indisposed would be one 204 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: thing you could say about phil Clinton, but I think 205 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: so chan Cheney passed away. The guy he did have 206 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 1: a remark arkable career, and I do think I think 207 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: the best thing that can be said for him, or 208 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: the things that can be said for him, is he 209 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: loved his country and he tried. But he was wrong 210 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: on some big stuff. And unfortunately he got particularly wrong 211 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: towards the end about about Trump and the and the 212 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: you know, the the trajectory of the country. I think, 213 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: and I think it was personal because of the repudiation 214 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: of bush Cheney by Trump. 215 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: I think that's exactly right. 216 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: He was in people are gonna get mad at me 217 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: there because he's a warmonger. I'm trying to think I 218 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: just died. I'm trying to be charitably. He served his 219 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: country for many, many years, and I think he loved America. 220 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: He was willing to go to the mat against the Jihatis, 221 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: I will tell you that, and we needed people that 222 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: were to go to the mat. You can love your 223 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: country and make awful decisions. Correct, those aren't opposite things. 224 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 2: And I think that the. 225 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: People always throw Nevill Chamberlain under the bus. Yeah, was 226 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: he wrong about how things to go with the Nazis? Sure, 227 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: but people forget that World War One had just destroyed 228 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: an entire generation of Europe, including Englishmen and people from 229 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: the United Kingdom, and he was hoping we wouldn't have 230 00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: to do that again. 231 00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 4: Right. 232 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: He may have had the remedy, but he didn't want 233 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: to go to war. I mean, this reasonable thing to do, 234 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: and to be fair, I read the oral history recently 235 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: in the last year or so of nine to eleven 236 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: because I wanted to re experience that. Remember, they thought 237 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: the White House was going to get hit and Cheney 238 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: was underground monitoring nine to eleven while Bush was up 239 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: in Air Force one and nobody could get in touch 240 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: with him because they were trying to keep him safe. 241 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: People forget this because they always think now of KSM. 242 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: Khaliche Sheik Mohammad and his like you know, pulled t 243 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: shirt and getting arrested and all this stuff. They were 244 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: planning multiple nine elevens, and that's real. 245 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: That is fact. 246 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: They were going to keep coming at us with all 247 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. The War on Terror was absolutely necessary, 248 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: and those of you who thought it should always remember 249 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: that and always feel honored in your service for the 250 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: fact that they were coming for us. It wasn't just 251 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: nine to eleven. There was more after that, and yeah, 252 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: it was the fight against It wasn't perfect, no war, 253 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: the fight is never going to be perfect, but it 254 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: was a necessary one. It was Iraq that was the 255 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: expansion of it that I think was a strategic miscalculation. 256 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: But I don't think the people that said, I mean, 257 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: I got hit with this even a while back, was 258 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: on a podcast, people said, oh, it was also Cheney 259 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: could make money through Haliburton. That's actually not that's actually 260 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: not true. Yeah, you can say that he was a 261 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: warmonger and he made the wrong decision and it was terrible, 262 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: but he actually didn't do this to make money through 263 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: Haliburton for himself. And I just I like the criticisms 264 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: to be rooted in reality. One thing that stood out 265 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: to me is I reread to experience the history of 266 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: nine to eleven. That is really kind of crazy to 267 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: think about. Is there was almost no communication to the 268 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: president because Air Force one wasn't able to get telephone signals. 269 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: They weren't able. Obviously, the Internet was not in place. 270 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: They've got spotty every now and then television, so Cheney 271 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: had to manage much of nine to eleven because the 272 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: president they were afraid of where the next strike might be. 273 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: He was just up in the air. They didn't have 274 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: any idea. And so I would encourage you to go 275 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: back and do some reading about that day. They could 276 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: have had fifty planes hijacked, given how easy it was 277 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: to hijack the ones that they did, they could have 278 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: had fifty of those planes turned into essentially massive guided 279 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: missiles with hundreds of innocents aboard. We had, you know, 280 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy to think about the worst terrorist 281 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: attack ever in history, and it actually could have been 282 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: a lot worse. Yes, yes, and it would, by the way, 283 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: it would have been worse if not for those those 284 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: brave souls fill Pennsylvania on United That's exactly right. Let's roll. 285 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: If that beamer I believe was a topman I think, 286 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: or a beaman or beamer, you may be right. If 287 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: it's not, it's not for him. And saying let's roll 288 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: that plane ends up, we have a smoldering United States 289 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: Capital or White House. Everybody, that's how close you were. 290 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: United Flight ninety three. I think to if I'm getting 291 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: remembering now, but to be you know, to be fair 292 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: to Cheney's memory, we needed a wartime consolieri, so to speak. 293 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: After nine to eleven. I'm not saying that everything was 294 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: good or right, but I mean the guy. The guy 295 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: did step up and a lot of bad guys needed 296 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: to be taken off the battlefield. 297 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 4: All right. 298 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: Money gets tight this time of year, Christmas, gifts, holiday travel, 299 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: donations you want to make.

We mentioned 322 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom saying, boy, he just really hates liars. Here 323 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: is Gavin Newsom. Let's listen. 324 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 3: Nothing I dislike more than the politician that sits there 325 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 3: and lies to you. 326 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: And we all just sit there rolling our eyes. Go 327 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: and give me a break. 328 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: I'm telling you. I mean, it is gonna be. 329 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: It's so ridiculous to watch this entire campaign play out 330 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: where he just lies about everything that he's ever done 331 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: and refuses to take responsibility for it. I have to say, 332 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: if it does turn into jade E versus Newsom, it's 333 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: gonna be, it's gonna be good TV. It's going to 334 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: be an interesting matchup. And I still think that you know, 335 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: we agree on this, and usually I would pick something 336 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: else just so we could argue over it. But I 337 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: still think it's probably aoc is VP makes the most sense, 338 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: especially seeing what's going mom Donnie wins New York. That 339 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: shows you that the blue centers socialism plays great and 340 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: helps with turnout. And then Gavin Newsom does his whole 341 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: sweet talking the uh you know, ladies of the Purple States, 342 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you have a real formidable 343 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: cant a real formidable ticket. It doesn't have to be 344 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: that good. Commoning lost by two hundred and fifty thousand votes. 345 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 2: That is horrible. That's what's scared. And I remember that. 346 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: That's what you guys. 347 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna come back, everybody.

I knew i'd 374 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: get some of these, Clay, so I'll address one VIP 375 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: email from Patrick Buck is absolutely delusional to say Chaney 376 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: didn't get rich off. Iraq KBR got billions of dollars 377 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: in no bid contracts in Iraq. Cheney was part of Halliburton, 378 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: which owned KBR. I did multiple deployments in both Iraq 379 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: and Afghanistan. Iraq War was a fraud. Let's work backwards 380 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: on this one. Iraq War was a mistake. I said, 381 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: so you're saying so, I don't. 382 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 2: So there we go. 383 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: That's we have agreement there. We should not have done it. 384 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: Biggest mistake the Republican Party has made in the twenty 385 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: first century, in my opinion, multiple deployments. Thank you for 386 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: your service, Thank you for putting your life on the 387 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: line for your country and doing what was necessary in 388 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: a moment where the country was in fact under substantial 389 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: threat and did have enemies abroad that sought to do 390 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: his harm. And then on the no bid contracts, Dick 391 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: Cheney divested all shares in all the shares that he 392 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: owned in Halliburton before he took office in two thousand. 393 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 2: All of it. 394 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: So that was before nine to eleven. Mind you don't, 395 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what else. This is all there's there's 396 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: there's records of this, so you can check this out. 397 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what else anyone wants me to say. 398 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: There was some deferred compensation of of like a couple 399 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: million dollars that was paid afterwards. But Cheney had already 400 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: he sold his stock for like forty million bucks, and 401 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: that was in nineteen ninety nine or two thousand dollars, 402 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: so it'd be like selling it for close to eighty 403 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: million dollars today. He didn't care about the two million 404 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: dollars in deferred compensation everybody, So I understand people get 405 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: very passionate about these things, but there's just facts and 406 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 1: there's record, and the record is he did not own 407 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: Trust me, they would have told you if he continued 408 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: to own Haliburton's stock while that was actually happening. He 409 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: had to divest from Halliburton when he went into government, 410 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: and that is what happened. And he just made awful 411 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: decisions as it pertained to Irrack. I'm not I'm not 412 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: defending any of his decisions. It's terrible. The Rocky Reconstruction 413 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: was an absolute debacle. They had incompetent people, the Iraq 414 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,479 Speaker 1: War on false premises, that's all. But it wasn't to 415 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: make Dick Cheney richer than he already was before he 416 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: became vice president. Everybody. I just I don't know what. 417 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: To tell you. 418 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: You show me the show me the data, or show 419 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: me the facts to prove otherwise, that's all. If you 420 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: show me that Dick Cheney actually sold twenty million dollars 421 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: of Haliburton stock in two thousand and three, I will 422 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: come on here and say, oh my gosh, I'm sorry 423 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: I was wrong about this. I don't know why they 424 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: were so effective. It was all the Daily Show. They 425 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: were so effective at selling this narrative that Cheney did 426 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: it for Halliburton. It was that was not true. He 427 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: did it for other reasons that maybe are very bad, 428 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: and it was a big mistake. He did not do 429 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: it to get rich off of Halliburton. Read the Internet, everybody, 430 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: It is there for you to see. So here's a 431 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: question for you about this. Since people are fired up, 432 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: most people I would imagine listening to us right now 433 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: agree that the Iraq War was a bad decision. In fact, 434 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: I would argue to you, I know this was true 435 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: for me. The first time I said this Trump guy 436 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: is actually pretty interesting was when he went after the 437 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: decision to go to war in Iraq before anybody else 438 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: in the Republican Party had been willing to do so 439 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: in that summer of twenty fifteen big time Republican debate 440 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: that Megan Kelly moderated when he went after Rosie O'Donnell. 441 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: The part of going after the Iraq War, which I 442 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: think you're correct on, Buck, is what broke and embittered 443 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: Dick Cheney to such an extent and Liz Cheney as 444 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: well on some level to eventually say that Trump is 445 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: the unique threat to the Republic and come out against 446 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: him and endorse Kamala Harris of all things. But most 447 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: people in the Republican Party and most people I think 448 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: in America now say the Iraq War was a mistake 449 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: the way it was implemented. A lot of you served 450 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: in it, who are listening to us right now. But 451 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: you were in Afghanistan. I mean you were in Afghanistan. 452 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: I deployed to Moses, I deployed to Bagdad, I deployed 453 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: to Afghanistan. I saw some of these garden spots up 454 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: close and personally. Yeah, So let me ask you this. 455 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: Will Democrats ever acknowledge that they screwed up COVID like 456 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: Republicans have acknowledged that they screwed up Iraq? 457 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 2: No, because they would do it. 458 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: I truly well, actually that would be an interesting conversation 459 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: because there is a concern over a return. There is 460 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: a concern, and I understand it. And I think this 461 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: even ties into why there's such a venom about Cheney 462 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: and the war profiteering thing, which again my position is 463 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: not that Cheney was some grand architect of a great 464 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: war that should have been fought. My position is he 465 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: did really incredibly dumb things, but he actually didn't do 466 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: those dumb things per se to get rich. He did 467 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: differ because he thought he was making the right decision, 468 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: which is not different if you go back in time 469 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: to Robert McNamara during the Vietnam War. McNamara later came 470 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: out and said, I blew it effectively, uh, in the 471 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: way that they implemented that. And if you study war, 472 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: it's actually very common for people to think that they're 473 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: making the right decision and they end up making the 474 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: wrong decision because war is tough and making decisions on 475 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: the on the spur of the moment to be judged 476 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: by history for generations. 477 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 2: I'm I'm a Civil War history nerd. 478 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: People still mock decisions made at Chickamauga, you know, all 479 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: the way back in eighteen sixty three or Lee at Gettysburg. 480 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 2: I mean, people still argue about it. 481 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: You can, you know, come at you. You can come 482 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: at Jess Jefferson Davis with a lot of very valid criticism. 483 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: But he did not fight the war because of his 484 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: position on trans rights. That's all, you know, right that 485 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: that wasn't it right? So we just have to stay 486 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: in the facts. We have to stay within the reality. 487 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: And with the Cheney situation, it's just it's became such 488 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: a thing where everyone says, oh, it's because anyway. 489 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 2: And I'm not some big they were. 490 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: By now I sound like I'm the big Chendy. It 491 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: was the biggest mistake of a twenty first century. But 492 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: he didn't make it to get rich. He made it 493 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: because he made it huge errors well in judgment, and honestly, 494 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: it was an error in judgment that was very liberal 495 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: in nature, because the idea, in my mind was the 496 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: neocon aspect of we're going to create a democracy in 497 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: Iraq that is similar to the democracy that we have 498 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: in the United States was clearly a impractical, impossible goal, 499 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: even more preposterous honestly in Afghanistan too, or that that 500 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: was where the mistake was made as well in that mission. 501 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,239 Speaker 1: But I do think that there is a considerable to 502 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: your point about COVID. There is a concern on the right, 503 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: broadly speaking, that without Trump at the helm of the party, 504 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: we could return to an interventionist, neo Khan foreign policy. 505 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: And I get that, and I understand a lot of 506 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: people who fought those wars, including by the way, nothing 507 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: but respect for our Vip Patrick and thank you for 508 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: your deployments. Just have to clear up that one fact. 509 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: And if I'm wrong on that fact, someone showed me 510 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: how I'm wrong on the fact. But did Dick Cheney 511 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: did not make a lot of money after he took office, 512 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: Just to be very clear, from stock in Halliburton or KBR, 513 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: that is not true. He made a lot of money 514 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: before he took office. And you can argue, well, I mean, 515 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: I don't know like that. He's just like it, loves 516 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: the war profiteers and genuine wants to spread the wealth 517 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: through his buddies. But he did not make money personally 518 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: from that. So and I think it's important we stick 519 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: with fact. 520 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 2: I think that's true. 521 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: I think he genuinely thought, again patriotically, he was making 522 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: the right decision, and he made totally the wrong decision, 523 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: which is actually it's been an interest in the Middle 524 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: East had been a mess for you know, post World 525 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,239 Speaker 1: War two, Middle East has just been one series of 526 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: conflicts and mess after another. And this was the uh, 527 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: you know, the Bush Cheney idea post nine to eleven. 528 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: And this is very complicated and much bigger discussion than 529 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: we have time for right now. But it was essentially, 530 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: instead of mowing the grass, maybe we got a you know, 531 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: plant something new. Maybe we've got to go with a 532 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: whole new direction, and that means regime change and nation building. 533 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: And we tried it and it failed, and it was 534 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: a bad idea in my opinion, and I think the 535 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: opinion of certainly the opinion of Donald Trump and MAGA 536 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,479 Speaker 1: and the right. But I just think that the hit. 537 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: We should stay clear on what the history, as I said, 538 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: Jefferson Davis not fighting for trans rights, like, we have 539 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: to stay clear on what the you know, the history 540 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: of different figures and what the actual arguments were. So anyway, 541 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: I knew that I knew that Cheney thing would get 542 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: some We're gonna get more emails about this too. Uh, 543 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: people get very passionate about this still. But yeah, the 544 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: guy passed away and it's a different Republican party now, 545 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: and that's why I think he also went for Like 546 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: to go for Kamala is really just now you're just 547 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: gonna burn down. You're gonna burn down everything that you've 548 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: stood for because you're so bitter about who's in charge now. 549 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: And uh and that's a shame. I mean, I I 550 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: the Iraq thing was a much bigger miss, but that 551 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: was a it was a it's good miss, I mean. 552 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is he's not trying 553 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: to have the result that he did. He thought he 554 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,719 Speaker 1: was doing the right thing. The endorsing Kamala over Trump 555 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: is I think a middle finger too much of America. 556 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: Also funny about that it also played on Kamala Harris's 557 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: poor political instincts because she somehow thought that Dick Cheney 558 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: was popular with the Republican voters and that Liz Cheney was, 559 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: and that it was going to persuade moderates they had 560 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: they had Liz Cheney, if I remember correctly, Buck speaking 561 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: at some of the final rallies for Kamala Harris about 562 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: why Kamala was such a great choice. Yes, and they 563 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: deployed Liz Cheney. I know, Well, this is the problem 564 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: with people that opposed Trump always end up becoming Democrats 565 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: essentially oppose Trump. Yeah, it just you just become a Democrat. 566 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say. There's, uh, there's 567 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: a very clear history of this, and I've seen this, 568 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: and it, especially in the pundit space. You go from 569 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: like I don't agree with Trump's toad, like, yeah, Kamala 570 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: Harris is a great candidate, Like, how does that happen? Well, 571 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: it happens pretty much every time. It's bonkers. And I 572 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: do think it was funny because it spoke to both 573 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: Liz Cheney's lack of political instincts and also Kamala's lack 574 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: of political instincts that somehow they thought the winning argument 575 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: down the stretch is a combo of Liz Cheney and 576 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris convincing you that they should be. 577 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 2: In charge of the country. 578 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: You know, and Barack Obama has been deployed as the 579 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: closer in some of these campaigns that are going on today, 580 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: the elections today. 581 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 2: I know, we've got these. 582 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: Big decisions that are being made about the governor's mansions 583 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: for New Jersey, for Virginia and then the New York 584 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: City mayor, but also in California. I wanted to play this. 585 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger has weighed in on CNN about Gavin Newsom's Proposition fifty. 586 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 2: Can you guys play that clip for me? 587 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 4: There is such such extreme cherrymandering going on in the 588 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 4: state like Massachusetts, it has like forty percent of the 589 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 4: Puba voting for Trump, they only had the Seer representative. 590 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 4: The Republican Party has Serer representatives sent to the House. 591 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 4: Think about that in New Mexico and forty five percent 592 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 4: of the puper voted for Trump and vote Republican and 593 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 4: Cyril is sent to the House Seer a representative from 594 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 4: the Republican Party. 595 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: Clay prop fifty is really straightforward. It's just Democrats in California, 596 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: with Gavin Newsom leading the charge. Even even Schwarzenegger, who's 597 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: kind of a yeah, maybe a moderate Democrat now or 598 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what you'd call him, formerly a Republican, 599 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: even he sees what this is. They complain about jerrymandering 600 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: where they're not doing it, and they do it to 601 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: the absolute max where they can, and ultimately they're in 602 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: trouble because the twenty thirty census, so many people have 603 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: moved to red states that even if they jerry manner 604 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: to the end degree, they're in trouble when it comes 605 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: to the overall calculus that will be out there because 606 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: red state populations are surging and blue state populations buy 607 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: and large are collapsing.

And somebody brought up 638 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: that she uses that excuse all the time, and she 639 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: was mad that people brought up the fact that she 640 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: uses the fact that she was black and gay as 641 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: an excuse. 642 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 2: This just happened.

They just think that she doesn't have 660 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: to bring up her self definition in every single interview, 661 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: in almost every other sentence. Is she that dumb? 662 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 2: Is that possible? 663 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: She is that dumb? I think because no one cares 664 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: that she's black and gay. We care that she's dumb 665 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: and was in a position of power, and you can't 666 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: defend the awful decisions. If Dick Cheney, we just said 667 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: a raq if Dick Cheney, whenever he got criticized on 668 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: IRAQ said, as a white man, you have no idea 669 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: what I went through, people would say, well, okay, some 670 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: people do, but we shouldn't have been in a RAQ 671 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: and that doesn't really have anything to do with your 672 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: race or your gender. You made a poor decision as 673 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: a leader, and you should have to own it instead 674 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: of trying to dodge all accountability by constantly bringing people 675 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: back to your race and your gender, which is what 676 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: she tries to do.

He said he went 690 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: to the Manhattan Beach Barnes and Noble. They had one 691 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: copy of my book. I'm guessing I'm probably not gonna 692 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: probably not gonna be on the best seller list at 693 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: Manhattan Beach California. I feel like the one copy of 694 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: your book in that Manhattan Beach Barnes and Noble would 695 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: be like the golden idol in Indiana Jones. Like the 696 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: one person that tries to take it, it sets off 697 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,800 Speaker 1: a booby trap, and yes, they have to escape a boulder. 698 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: I think that's what happens. Alexi said that he asked 699 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: when you know, ask at the front desk or whatever, 700 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: and the woman just kind of wrinkled her face and 701 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: walked around and they managed to find one copy. So 702 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: if you're in Manhattan Beach and you were thinking I'm 703 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: mnna go to the Barnes and Noble, Alexi beat you 704 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: to the beach, you to the table.
