WEBVTT - Democrats Continue to Defend Ilhan Omar

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom hunt. The left is rallying

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>behind ilhan Omar despite her tendency to say things that

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>are anti Semitic and also to downplay nine to eleven.

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.319
<v Speaker 1>What is really at work here? Plus the cathedral of

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame is still burning. We'll give you updates on

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 1>this breaking news story. And what is the presence plan

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>for sanctuary cities and illegal immigrants going to turn into.

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>We'll got that a much more coming up on the

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Buck side. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 1>mission or mission is to decode what really matters with

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American.

0:00:54.080 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Again the Buck Sexton Show begins. Remember the NMPDE didn't

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton. No. Here was founded after nine eleven because

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>they recognized that some people did something. So you have

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.119
<v Speaker 1>no idea whether I'd have another one. Another plane is hit.

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Some people did something. Oh my goodness, there is smoke

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:32.559
<v Speaker 1>pouring out. Some people did something. It just flew straight

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>into it. Welcome to the Buck Saxon Show. That audio

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 1>was from what President Trump retweeted over the weekend and

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>has now cause such a fiery back and forth between

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the left and the right between Democrats and Republicans. That

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>was the voice of ilhan Omar saying that when it

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>comes to nine to eleven, some people did something, and

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>then going on to talk about how the real victims,

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the people that we should have been really worried about,

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>were those who were concerned for their civil liberties in

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the Islamic community after nine eleven, skipping past the nearly

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:37.920
<v Speaker 1>three thousand people who were murdered, many of them crushed, incinerated,

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>murdered on nine to eleven by Jehadest fanatics trying to

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 1>bring about a war that would destroy our civilization. It's

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>quite a thing to move past that as though it

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>wasn't anything worthy of note. But a sitting member of

0:02:55.840 --> 0:03:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Congress speaking about nine to eleven dismissed it. It's some

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>people did something something. Huh. Now, look, I'm one that

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>likes to give second chances. I misspeak, sometimes people misspeak

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>on things. But she doesn't claim that she misspoke. The

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>claim here is not that representative ilhan Omar meant to

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.119
<v Speaker 1>say something very different or just got tired and caught

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>up in the moment, and you know that that was

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>not the claim. The claim is that it is racist.

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>You see racist to call her out for this, it

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>is islamophobic to call her out for this. And with

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>this we see a time tested and favorite tactic of

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the left. Don't engage on the substance, don't engage on

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the intellectual merits slime the other side, Smear them, lie

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>about them, assassinate their characters, take issue with who they

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>are as people, suggest that they're bad human beings for

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking what they do, for disagreeing with you. This is

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a preview of what you're going to see heading into

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty election from Democrats as a primary motive

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>attack against Trump. This is not going to be something

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>that just kind of comes up sometimes. This is going

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.160
<v Speaker 1>to be one of the one of the main ways

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that they try to undermine this president. But I don't

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 1>want to just move too far into the tactic here

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.280
<v Speaker 1>and pull apart why this is so important for the left.

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>They need to pause on that for one second. Ilhan

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Omar is favorably disposed toward care Council on American Islamic Relations,

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>which is an unindicted co conspirator with different terrorist groups,

0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>has a history of terror apology in this kind country

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>and shows up as I have seen firsthand, because I've

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 1>had to occasionally be on panels or in debates where

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 1>CARE shows up to claim that the real concern when

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>there are dozens, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands of dead bodies

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 1>in the ground, of people who are the victims of terrorism,

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the real concern is that somebody might ask the wrong

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>question about Islam afterwards. That's what CARE tends to do.

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.679
<v Speaker 1>That's the Care approach. We should really be worried about

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>those who speak ill of the prophet Muhammad after a

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.480
<v Speaker 1>massive terror attack. That's where the system really breaks down.

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry so much about the terror the dead people,

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the people whose lives are ruined because their loved ones

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 1>are never to be seen again because some fanatic screaming

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Allahu Akbar killed a lot of them. So I have

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:55.799
<v Speaker 1>no patience, no time for the mouthpieces of Care. Also

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>that she says CARE was founded after Ilmar doesn't know

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>anything about Kara Seams, or doesn't know very much at all.

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>It says it was founded after nine eleven. It was

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>founded in I think nineteen ninety four, but long before

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.720
<v Speaker 1>nine eleven then they've been making They've been running around

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>yelling Islamophobia at people for many years before the nine

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>to eleven attacks. But now they're saying that it's it's

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>racist that Trump brought this up, or that he would

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>he would magnify this criticism of Ilhan Omar and that

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that's what this really comes down to. Oh, and they

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 1>take it a step further to play clip here's just

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.919
<v Speaker 1>classics CNN Jeffrey Tuben saying this is all because Trumps

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>are racist? Play three. What do all the people that

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>he's vilifying have in common? They're all people of color?

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, it is all you know, aoc omar. I

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>mean this is you know, whether it's the basketball players

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>or the football players. I mean it's He's always after

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>people of color, and at is not a coincidence? Is

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Tubina moron? Or does he just play one on TV?

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Everyone that Trump goes after a person of color? How

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>if I said something so stupid on television, I would

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I would feel embarrassed for a long time to come. Oh,

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Is Crooked Hillary a person of color

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>because Trump seemed to go after her a lot and

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>still does. Is Shifty Adam Schiff a person of color

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>because Trump goes after him? And I don't even want

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to get into the whole list. Comey struck page Brandon.

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, all these people that Trump just rightfully annihilates

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter and in his public statements. Is is Jim Acosta? Well, okay, yeah,

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Jim Acosta. I guess technically he's Latino. But there are

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>other people at CNN that he goes after two or

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>are they all people of color, you know? Or are

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 1>they people that fit into this kind No, of course

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>not the president. Uh you know, the President is in

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>fact someone who goes after those who go after him,

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>and the President is a counterpuncher. But to say that

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>he only goes after people of different races about this

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 1>is it's just a lie. It's just not true. Um.

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I can't even I think of all the

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>people that are are white that he makes fun of

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and mocks on a daily, on a regular basis, so

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>many do you think Trump, you know, likes av Nati?

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Uh So anyway, such a stupid comment. But this is

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>what gets you applause on CNN. This is what gets

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:48.479
<v Speaker 1>you applause on CNN. And then they go even further. Um,

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 1>then they decide that the issue is that Trump is

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>putting her life in Jeopardy. Now. That was what this

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>turned into over the weekend, that that Trump is responsible

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 1>for incitement to violence. This is an expansion on what

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 1>you will generally hear from the left, and that is

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 1>things that they really don't like, words that they really

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 1>don't like are tantamount too close to violence. Might as

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>well be speech equals violence. This has become a tactic

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>of censorship, this Ilahan Omar debate. While in many ways

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just about a stupid comment she made, and you know,

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.560
<v Speaker 1>it's indefensible, and there oh, there are some who defended

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>by the way. J Jerry Nadler, for example, who's going

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.199
<v Speaker 1>to make a few appearances in the show. He defended

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the play clip too. Did you take any issue with

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the way Congresswoman Omar characterized nine to eleven? No I

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.599
<v Speaker 1>did not. She characterized it only in passing she was

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about discrimination against the Muslim Americans and she she

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>just said that after that happened, it was used as

0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>an excuse for lots of discrimination and from withdrawal of

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 1>civil liberties. No I did not take that. I've had

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 1>some problems with some of her other remarks, but not

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>but not with that one. No problem with what she says,

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 1>even Note eleven, just like a thing speaking about Care,

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 1>which is an organization that does a lot of apologizing

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:23.200
<v Speaker 1>for the radical tendencies of Islam. There's a debate from

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I forget when from back in the day where they

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>had one of their apologists on after the Danish cartoons

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 1>fiasco where you had a cartoonist in Denmark, as you know,

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>have the prophet Mohammed, and then there were embassies that

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>were attacked and people there were there was violence that

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>broke out because of what one cartoonist in Denmark did,

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.199
<v Speaker 1>and there was a guy from CARE. I never forget

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>this as well. You know, we shouldn't, we shouldn't do

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 1>things like this. It's an active intimidation. He would he said,

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.959
<v Speaker 1>to be critical of Islam in this way, it intimidates people. Oh,

0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.559
<v Speaker 1>that's right, speech equals violence. The words are based violence.

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Therefore will be violent in response to your words. This

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:11.960
<v Speaker 1>is a very dangerous, a very dangerous approach. But the

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>left takes this on many issues. You know, they will

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 1>say that President Trump is inciting violence against ilhan Omar

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.319
<v Speaker 1>merely by criticizing what she says. And she's you know,

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 1>she's not a legitimate target for this criticism. And now

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>that we're hearing that she gets death threats and all

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>these lots of people get death threats, that doesn't death

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>threats are terrible, people should be punished for them. But

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you can't be Hell, we cannot be held responsible for

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:43.959
<v Speaker 1>the death threats of imbeciles because we criticize public figures

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 1>because censorship. The left likes to censor. And what you

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>see with the ilhan Omar situation is all of the

0:11:53.520 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>different tactics and tools that the left will use. They'll

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>say that the criticism of her is racist. They'll say

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>that criticism of her is leading to death threats. They

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 1>want to create special categories for individuals to be public figures.

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>But they're victims, you see. They have to be treated

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.079
<v Speaker 1>and talked about differently because they're victims because of their ethnicity,

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:24.960
<v Speaker 1>or their religion, or their sexual orientation, or they're to

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 1>be treated to a different set of rules in public discourse.

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Leftist trying to do that right now. You're going to

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 1>see a lot more of this going forward. You're going

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 1>to see a lot more and the effort to make

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it impossible to have an open and honest discussion about

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 1>how crazy some of these leftists are. What they're saying.

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Why it's wrong because oh, you said, what about AOC,

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>You must be a racist? You said what about Ilhan Omar,

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 1>You must be a racist. How can we have any

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>real discussion about the country if the approach the Democrats

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 1>are going to have is well, you can't disagree with

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 1>certain people on heated and passionate issues of real public

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>consequence that really matter, because it must just be that

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:16.479
<v Speaker 1>you're down talking to them. You are part of the patriarchy.

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Your white privilege is showing you're not allowed to criticize

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>these individuals because you do so from a position of

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 1>white supremacy. They will say they are trying to destroy

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>legitimate discourse, the differences that we have in policy and

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>in the ideas that we share publicly. They want to

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 1>control it. They want to control the language, which we

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 1>talked about last week, and they also want to control

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>who has the right to speak. When are you allowed

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 1>to disagree? When are you able to stand up and

0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 1>say what that person is saying is wrong? Life says

0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>it can't say that Ilhan Holm are very defensive about

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 1>out the anti Semitic Muslim congresswoman from Minnesota very defensive.

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:10.559
<v Speaker 1>We should start asking questions about why that is and

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 1>what they think the rules are going to be that

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the rest of us have to follow when it comes

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 1>to members of Congress, people in the media, elected officials.

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>If you're in a protected class, you can say any

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>crazy thing you want, no one's allowed to criticize you.

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Or if there are some people that act poorly in

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 1>response to the crazy things the Democrat says by threatening

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>them the rest of us all have, We're all to

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 1>be held accountable for that. I'm sorry. I won't be

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>lectured to in that way by people that demonize Brett

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Kavanaugh as a rapist, by people that said the Covington

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Catholic kids were evil racists, that completely demean people who

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>are Trump supporters. I mean they lie about people and

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 1>destroy them and never give it a second thought. We're

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be lectured to by that media about how

0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>we should be more careful in our discourse. I'm sorry,

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so, not on my watch, not on

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 1>my time. We'll be right back. This is an incitement

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 1>to violence against Congresswoman Omar, against our fellow Americans who

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>happened to be Muslim. This is part and parcel of

0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>what we've seen from an administration that has described Mexican

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 1>immigrants as rapists and criminals, a man who has called

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 1>a silence seekers, and he calls the animals an infestation.

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 1>There you go, incitement to violence from Batteau, who's like

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>so upset about this, and why can't Trump like just

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 1>be nice and like open his heart to Batou's America.

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not I'm not getting ahead of the facts here, folks.

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 1>They're straight up saying that that the President United States

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 1>is calling for violence against a female Muslim minority member

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of Congress. That's what they're saying. This is the storyline

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 1>they're going with. And as if that weren't crazy enough,

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>here's a Twitter exchange that you're gonna have to just

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 1>hear to believe. So Dan Crenshaw, who I'm sure many

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 1>of you know, Texas Congressman, and he responded to Ilhan Omar.

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Now he's a Texas Congresman who also happens to be

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a combat veteran Navy seal who lost an eye to

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the shrapnel from an IED and that's why he wears

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 1>an eyepatch. I'm sure all of you know this, but

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 1>just in case. Crenshaw responded to Ilhan Omar saying some

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>people who did something with quote first member of Congress

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans as

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 1>some people who did something. Alexandrio Kazio Cortez responded to

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 1>wounded Purple Heart recipient veteran Dan Crenshaw with the following,

0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you refuse to co sponsor the nine to eleven vict

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 1>compensation fund, yet have the audacity to drum resentment toward

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Ilham with completely out of context quotes. Folks, AOC twenty

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.480
<v Speaker 1>nine year old former bartender, AOC left wing radical imbecile

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:22.800
<v Speaker 1>is publicly calling out Dan Crenshaw, decorated navycal combat veteran

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.199
<v Speaker 1>lost in eye to an ied fighting the Taliban, for

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 1>not doing enough to fight terrorism. This is the modern left.

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 1>There there are no limits to the stupidity, no outer

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 1>boundaries to the dishonesty. They are completely unself aware about

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 1>where they really stand in the grand scheme of things

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.919
<v Speaker 1>and in the universe of counter terrorism fighting. For Okasio

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Cortez to publicly lecture Dan Crenshaw, this is kind of

0:17:54.320 --> 0:18:00.440
<v Speaker 1>a a perfect metaphor for how Democrats and Republican interact

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.880
<v Speaker 1>on this issue these days, you know, no respect, no deference,

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.920
<v Speaker 1>no nothing for somebody who has put so much more

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 1>on the line, knows so much more about the issue

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and has real, real credibility and gravitas on this little

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 1>little imbecile. AOC is gonna call out Dan Crenshaw, You know, AOC.

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>You know he might want to pick up an M

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>four and head to Afghanistan or Iraq and actually get

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>some street cred before you start lecturing Dan Crenshaw on

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:37.640
<v Speaker 1>terrorism and nine eleven victims, folks. He would be forthcoming

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 1>only if he releases the entire report and the underlying

0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 1>evidence to the Judiciary Committee, which has been done in

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 1>every previous instance where they were looking into presidential or

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 1>other misconduct. That would be now the Judiciary Committee is

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the proper locus for deciding what has to be withheld

0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.040
<v Speaker 1>from the public. Again, that's what's been done in the

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.119
<v Speaker 1>past to deny the Judiciary Committee in the Congress. The

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.639
<v Speaker 1>knowledge of what's in parts of the Malor report is

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.479
<v Speaker 1>not proper. And of course, uh the Attorney General when

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 1>he started talking completely without evidence as he said about

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:16.639
<v Speaker 1>spying on the Trump campaign, when he when what he

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 1>meant was executing judicially ordered Lawrence showed his bias and

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.640
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he's really acting as as a personal

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:28.720
<v Speaker 1>agent to the president rather than as the Attorney General

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:32.160
<v Speaker 1>of the United States in this matter. Everything this guy

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Nadler says is not true. I mean, it's it's almost amazing.

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 1>You almost stand back with a degree of wow on

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 1>your face when this guy talks. Wow. Congressman Nadler just

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 1>trying so hard to rewrite the script here make it

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 1>seem like, Oh, that's right, bar is such a bad guy,

0:19:56.000 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>you can't trust him. And who believes this non Oh,

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately Democrats do. Spying is spying, folks. I worked for

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.400
<v Speaker 1>a spying agency for years. I spent my twenties as

0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:13.639
<v Speaker 1>a spy agency employee. And let me tell you something.

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 1>National security letters and fieser warrants and phone taps and

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:27.920
<v Speaker 1>email capture, and that is spying. If someone came in

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:31.920
<v Speaker 1>from China and said, I'm not spying, I'm just secretly

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:36.160
<v Speaker 1>listening to the communications of senior government officials or people

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:40.159
<v Speaker 1>tied to the Trump campaign and reading their emails, you'd say, oh,

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>that's a spy. You wouldn't say, oh, well, that was

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 1>ordered by the government of China. Therefore, it's not no,

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:52.159
<v Speaker 1>that's spying. Spying is the clandestine or surreptitious surveillance or

0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:56.480
<v Speaker 1>acquiring of information. That's all it is. That's the definition.

0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:00.840
<v Speaker 1>So yes, they were spying on the campaign. That they

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that they still want to fight this fight just shows

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:08.920
<v Speaker 1>how delusional the Democrats are, and they're also desperate to

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.480
<v Speaker 1>try and set up a narrative that is favorable to

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 1>them in advance of the release, which we have been

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 1>told today the Mulla Report drops Thursday. The Mula Report

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>will be out Thursday. I believe Thursday morning. I will

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:31.320
<v Speaker 1>have to speed read that thing like nobody's business, because

0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:33.800
<v Speaker 1>it's my business to speed read it, and hopefully by

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the time I get on air at six o'clock, I

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.480
<v Speaker 1>will have read through, if not all of it, a

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 1>vast majority of it. I think it's four hundred pages

0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.760
<v Speaker 1>with maybe one hundred redacted, is what I heard today,

0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:47.920
<v Speaker 1>So three hundred pages I could get through. I get

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.520
<v Speaker 1>through three hundred pages is by showtime. That'll be my plan.

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.600
<v Speaker 1>So I've read the whole report Thursday, want to come

0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:54.919
<v Speaker 1>on air because you know, the Democrats are going, oh

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, you know there's look at all the obstruction.

0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:04.120
<v Speaker 1>That's what's gonna that's what's gonna up in here. They're

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:07.560
<v Speaker 1>going to say that there was plenty of grounds for obstruction,

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:10.680
<v Speaker 1>but the president got bailed out, because you know that's

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 1>what happened. Republicans are the ones who get bailed out,

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:18.120
<v Speaker 1>not Democrats. Sure, buddy, sure, stay all that one. Nadler

0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 1>was on one of the boring CNN shows. But this

0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 1>is what he said about obstruction. Play eleven. Attorney General

0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Bill Barr. He did reach a conclusion. He says there

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.960
<v Speaker 1>is not sufficient evidence to establish that the president obstructed justice.

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Does that end the debate over obstruction of justice? Well,

0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 1>certainly not, especially since Attorney General Bar, before he became

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General, wrote a long memo in which he said

0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 1>that a president could not obstruct justice because the president

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 1>is the boys to the Justice Department and could order

0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 1>it around to to to in student an investigation, to

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 1>eliminate investigation, and could not be questioned about that. In

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:54.960
<v Speaker 1>other words, he thinks that as a matter of law,

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:58.959
<v Speaker 1>a president can't obstruct justice, which is a very wild

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:04.879
<v Speaker 1>and theory to which most people do not do not agree.

0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:07.879
<v Speaker 1>Um and the fact of the matter is we should

0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 1>see and judge for ourselves, and that's for Congress to

0:23:11.160 --> 0:23:14.439
<v Speaker 1>judge whether the president obstructive justice or not, and for

0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the public ultimately. It's not It's not the Bailey Wick

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.560
<v Speaker 1>of the Attorney General. It is not. No, it is

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:23.719
<v Speaker 1>not the Bailey Wick of the Attorney General. Again, everything

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Nadler says it's wrong. This guy just goes on TV

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:31.280
<v Speaker 1>just says wrong things wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. It is

0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:35.200
<v Speaker 1>an avalanche of wrong from from Congressman Nadler every time

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:39.520
<v Speaker 1>he opens his mouth on television these days. Let's just

0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:42.760
<v Speaker 1>start with this. His whole old bar thinks that you

0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 1>can't be guilty of obstructure. Editor h. Mueller didn't didn't

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 1>want obstruction charges either, chief, So where does that leave you?

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Is Muller ind on this too? Oh oh, don't think

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats are past that. Don't think that that's off

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>the table. Mueller must have played golf once at a

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Trump resort and and somebody there made a made a

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.920
<v Speaker 1>play for cultivating Mueller is a deep, deep, deep, deep

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 1>secret asset to only be deployed, you know, twenty years

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 1>in the future when Trump would need I mean, people

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 1>are crazy, crazy about this stuff. Mueller said no obstruction

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:25.760
<v Speaker 1>because there was no obstruction. Mueller said no charges because

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:29.120
<v Speaker 1>they couldn't charge him. Do you really think for one

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:32.480
<v Speaker 1>second that Mueller would have skipped the opportunity to look

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>like a hero to the fifty percent of the country

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 1>that absolutely hates Donald Trump with a burning passion if

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 1>they think of how many zeros would be added to

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Muller's memoir if only he had just he doesn't have

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.199
<v Speaker 1>to even win the case, just bring the charges against

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.320
<v Speaker 1>just say that the president has to be charged. But

0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 1>they always leave this out. They hope that people are

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:56.160
<v Speaker 1>not paying close enough attention to know what's really true here.

0:24:57.720 --> 0:24:59.359
<v Speaker 1>So Mueller is a part of this, and then is

0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>just you know, for him to claim that the attorney

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 1>general isn't the one who makes this determination, it's like

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't care what you know, he just doesn't care

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:13.399
<v Speaker 1>what the truth is. He just doesn't It doesn't matter

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.639
<v Speaker 1>to him that it is obviously the case that this

0:25:16.760 --> 0:25:20.840
<v Speaker 1>this false attorney general. I would also note folks who

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:25.719
<v Speaker 1>bailed out Hillary for clearly violating the law. I mean, she,

0:25:26.080 --> 0:25:28.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, Hillary was the equivalent of like she had

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:30.879
<v Speaker 1>a giant bag of weed and they found her and

0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:32.760
<v Speaker 1>she's on video and she's like, yeah, I got a

0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 1>giant bag of weed, like and then they just made

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.919
<v Speaker 1>it go away. I mean Hillary's charges were the Justi

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Smollette of Espionage Act charges, as in, it could not

0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 1>be more on, I mean, the hoax part of it.

0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>It could not be more obvious what happened. Why didn't

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.399
<v Speaker 1>Hillary get charged? Oh? Because the justice system worked. No,

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:55.480
<v Speaker 1>because the Attorney General and James Comey and Lauretta Lynch,

0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:59.040
<v Speaker 1>they made up an excuse for her. They didn't say

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 1>she didn't do it. They just they're not going to

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 1>charge her because she didn't mean it. That that was

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>what the excuse was. She didn't mean it. Let's not

0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:12.639
<v Speaker 1>be mean to her. I'm nice, she says. It's an

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>entirely different situation with Trump and Muller. We know that

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump wasn't getting the benefit of the doubt. Look at

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 1>what they did to the people around Trump that they

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:22.359
<v Speaker 1>could charge. But no matter what comes out of this

0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:24.399
<v Speaker 1>report on Thursday, the Democrats are going to claim it

0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:32.120
<v Speaker 1>their's obstruction because the machinery of propaganda is already in motion.

0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 1>And what they're going to say is, see the president

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 1>of the United States committed obstruction. We need to now

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:44.159
<v Speaker 1>consider impeachment charges. We need to consider how we punish

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the president for this terrible transgression. And then they want

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 1>to drag that out. You're going to hear about obstruction

0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and obstruction and obstruction for the next nine months on

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:57.640
<v Speaker 1>an endless loop from Democrats. They're never going to let

0:26:57.640 --> 0:27:01.040
<v Speaker 1>it drop until they think it is no longer useful

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:04.120
<v Speaker 1>for them, even if you and I know that they're crazy.

0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 1>By the way, this is what the people that read

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Slate dot Com, the New York Times

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 1>editorial page, watch CNN. They're gonna love all this obstruction

0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 1>talk now, can't get enough of it. It's gonna be

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:20.520
<v Speaker 1>like catnip for them. Scooby snacks except obstruction shrewber Wow,

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:22.119
<v Speaker 1>I need to work on my That was a terrible

0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Scooby screwy. Nope, still bad. My Scooby is not good. Guys,

0:27:27.880 --> 0:27:29.920
<v Speaker 1>got a code, read myself. We're gonna hit a quick break.

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back. The fire that they're having at

0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 1>the Notre Dame Cathedral is something like a few people

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:45.120
<v Speaker 1>have witnessed. When we left, we had a whole group

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:48.080
<v Speaker 1>of your great representatives, and when we left the plane.

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:51.879
<v Speaker 1>It was it was burning at a level that you

0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 1>rarely see a fire burn. It's one of the great

0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:58.960
<v Speaker 1>treasures of the world, the greatest artists in the world.

0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Probably if you think about it, I would say Jovida.

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:05.639
<v Speaker 1>It might be greater than almost any museum in the world.

0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:08.679
<v Speaker 1>And it's burning very badly. It looks like it's burning

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:12.240
<v Speaker 1>to the ground. But it's a terrible sight to behold.

0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Horrific today watching the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:26.560
<v Speaker 1>just in a blaze. It was hard to believe. At first.

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:31.119
<v Speaker 1>I saw the initial screenshots of it on social media

0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 1>and I thought, this is some this is some really

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 1>bad sick joke that someone is spreading this. Maybe it's

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:40.520
<v Speaker 1>fake news. You know, you just don't want to believe

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 1>it at first. Sure enough, the tallest single part, the

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:54.840
<v Speaker 1>main the highest of all the peaks of Notre Dame

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Cathedral came down the highest tower and people watched it

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 1>as it was all on flames. And this is a

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 1>it was for me. I had to turn it off.

0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't keep watching it. It felt like watching a

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:14.000
<v Speaker 1>surveillance video of somebody walking around the louver with a

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 1>sledge hammer. You know, just just smashing Michelangelo and da

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Vinci and Monet, and you know, just just walking around

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City with

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:25.400
<v Speaker 1>a razor blade and just taking it to all the

0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:31.520
<v Speaker 1>great Renaissance works and it was just horrible. You know.

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I've been to Notre Dame Cathedral at least three or

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 1>four times, and it is one of the most beautiful

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 1>single structures in the world in my opinion, And there's

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:49.480
<v Speaker 1>so much history. Stretches back to the twelfth century. It

0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 1>has been standing in the city of Paris through plagues

0:29:55.200 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 1>and through pestilence and through war, and you know, as

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:04.000
<v Speaker 1>many were pointing out today, even survived the Nazis. But

0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 1>one one spark, one flame. We don't know yet exactly

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>what happened here. I know producer Mike is a little

0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 1>he's suspicious of at least foul play. I think we

0:30:17.480 --> 0:30:22.760
<v Speaker 1>could say that, Mike. I'm I'm withholding judgment so far.

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:26.000
<v Speaker 1>The reporting that look, I'm not there, I'm not on

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the scene. I can't ask anybody any specific questions about it.

0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:32.800
<v Speaker 1>The reporting that I'm seeing is saying that they they

0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 1>believe that this was some kind of a terrible accident.

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:39.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll see, we'll find we'll find out more. All right, Mike,

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:45.160
<v Speaker 1>you're a little suspicious, fair to say, Yeah, Mike is

0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:49.760
<v Speaker 1>suspicious of what's going on here? I am. I'm waiting

0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:51.480
<v Speaker 1>on this one. I don't see any I don't see

0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:54.160
<v Speaker 1>any evidence to point to other than just saying, you know,

0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm going with my gut on what could have happened here.

0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:00.120
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's terrible, and it's it look at it's

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a reminder that nothing is permanent. It's actually a line

0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:08.480
<v Speaker 1>from from Game of Thrones, which I did watch over

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:13.560
<v Speaker 1>this weekend with the new season, and you know, there's

0:31:13.600 --> 0:31:17.000
<v Speaker 1>a linear who says, you know, everything essentially everything fades.

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I forget exactly how we said it, but that's the

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 1>young people keep their distance from old people because old

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:27.560
<v Speaker 1>people remind them that nothing is permanent. Even the cathedral

0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 1>of Notre Dame, which has been around for you know,

0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:34.600
<v Speaker 1>going on a millennium, nothing is permanent. Now they were

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:38.040
<v Speaker 1>able to save the outer structure, I believe it's not.

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 1>It has not completely burned down, so there's some you know,

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the main structure has been saved. But it's people think

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:52.320
<v Speaker 1>when you think of Paris. I mean that the two,

0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:56.239
<v Speaker 1>the two physical structures that come to mind are at

0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 1>least for me and I think for most people, uh,

0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. And the Eiffel Tower

0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 1>is very visible, but it's nowhere near I think the same.

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 1>First of all, nowhere near the historical significance of Notre Dame,

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:16.720
<v Speaker 1>but also nowhere near the spiritual significance. Even if you

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:20.600
<v Speaker 1>are not a believer, even if you're not a Roman

0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Catholic or a Christian of any kind, Notre Dame was

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 1>a manifestation of physical beauty on earth that was awe inspiring,

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and in that sense it was pointing to the divine.

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Whatever the divine means for the individual in this case,

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:45.080
<v Speaker 1>there was something awe inspiring about it. It was a tremendous,

0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, tremendous monument to what human beings were capable

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 1>of in the twelfth century. And then when you add

0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:59.440
<v Speaker 1>added to it all the spirituality and the role that

0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 1>cathedrals like Notre Dame played in Western civilization and in

0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the spread and growth of the best parts of Western civilization,

0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:13.520
<v Speaker 1>those that we would like to see replicated by the

0:33:13.520 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 1>rest of the world, including the not West. I think

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:20.200
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's a hard day for a lot of people.

0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:26.920
<v Speaker 1>It really was like like a dear friend to the

0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:31.600
<v Speaker 1>whole world was consumed with flames, and just for for

0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:36.080
<v Speaker 1>no reason, for no reason, at least no reason that

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:39.720
<v Speaker 1>we know of. Right now, you had people watching this

0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 1>in real time, A lot of social media has posts

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:47.040
<v Speaker 1>up about this. There there is I would be remiss

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't say that that Notre Dame has featured

0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:57.640
<v Speaker 1>in attacks that were planned, at least in by by

0:33:57.640 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 1>different ISIS groups. I mean, Notre Dame is a very

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:04.280
<v Speaker 1>very visible symbol of not just Paris and France, but

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:08.680
<v Speaker 1>of Christianity in the West, and so there have been

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:12.160
<v Speaker 1>failed attacks, there have been aboarded attacks, there have been

0:34:12.280 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 1>disrupted plots stretching back for for many years. I don't

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 1>have any evidence right now of any of that. If

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I did, I would, you know, I would not be

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:29.440
<v Speaker 1>shy about making that, making that analytic determination. But I

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:32.960
<v Speaker 1>think right now we have to assume that the reports

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:35.120
<v Speaker 1>were seeing so far are accurate in the reports, or

0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:41.239
<v Speaker 1>that there was construction ongoing. And I do believe I

0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:45.560
<v Speaker 1>saw that there weren't any construction workers during this blaze,

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:49.840
<v Speaker 1>but it might have been electronic electric equipment left behind it.

0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm not a fire expert either, so

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:55.520
<v Speaker 1>this is not something that I usually can bring more

0:34:55.560 --> 0:35:00.960
<v Speaker 1>than a lay person's interpretation of people were crying though,

0:35:01.000 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's really really affected them. There's something that

0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:11.000
<v Speaker 1>is very magical and memorable about Notre Dame and I've,

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:12.680
<v Speaker 1>as I said, I've been there and it's one of

0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>those things that you always you always remember the first

0:35:15.000 --> 0:35:17.880
<v Speaker 1>time you see it, you always remember the first day

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that you are in its presence. It feels almost like

0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:24.200
<v Speaker 1>a living being that you are visiting. I'm glad that

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:26.759
<v Speaker 1>they're able to save some of it from total destruction,

0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:30.360
<v Speaker 1>but it's a sad day, a sad day for the West,

0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and to start off Holy Week this way also has

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:39.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people feeling ill at ease as long

0:35:39.960 --> 0:35:44.560
<v Speaker 1>as Democrats continue to ignore the crisis at the border,

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and we have to look at all options across the

0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:49.320
<v Speaker 1>table so that the town's right there on the border

0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:52.520
<v Speaker 1>aren't taking on the entire burden, and that we're shifting

0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:56.600
<v Speaker 1>some of that burden to places who constantly claim to

0:35:56.719 --> 0:35:59.560
<v Speaker 1>want to have open borders and want to have an

0:35:59.560 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 1>open city nobody thinks that this is the ideal solution.

0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:05.839
<v Speaker 1>But until we can fix the crisis at the border,

0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 1>we have to look at all options. This is one

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:11.319
<v Speaker 1>of them. Whether or not it moves forward, that's yet

0:36:11.360 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 1>to be determined. I thought that Democrats and sanctuary cities

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:18.640
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get enough illegal aliens. I thought the illegal aliens

0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:22.840
<v Speaker 1>were the foundation of America. According to left right, this

0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:25.000
<v Speaker 1>is what we've been told for a long time. Now,

0:36:26.840 --> 0:36:30.480
<v Speaker 1>they do the jobs Americans won't do. They commit fewer

0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:33.799
<v Speaker 1>crimes than Americans. They're they're better than Americans. I mean,

0:36:33.880 --> 0:36:36.759
<v Speaker 1>this has become a mantra on the left. This has

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:42.319
<v Speaker 1>become a very oft repeated claim, and you hear it

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:46.080
<v Speaker 1>from all over the place that Democrats really must believe

0:36:46.120 --> 0:36:50.759
<v Speaker 1>this because they say it all the time. And yet

0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:56.520
<v Speaker 1>here we are looking at the issue of sanctuary cities

0:36:56.560 --> 0:37:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and the possibility of transferring people two sanctuary cities who

0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:06.280
<v Speaker 1>have just arrived at the border, and lo and behold,

0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:11.040
<v Speaker 1>what a shock. The illegal aliens getting dropped off in

0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:15.840
<v Speaker 1>in downtown Los Angeles by the bus load is not

0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:21.480
<v Speaker 1>something that Democrats are excited about. Well, well, why is that? Now?

0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I would make the argument, and I have. I think

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:25.319
<v Speaker 1>this is a prize in people. I think illegals would

0:37:25.360 --> 0:37:28.520
<v Speaker 1>like it, meaning that I think that for a lot

0:37:28.560 --> 0:37:31.560
<v Speaker 1>of them to be brought to it, because otherwise, you know,

0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:34.040
<v Speaker 1>if the government doesn't move them somewhere, and the government's

0:37:34.080 --> 0:37:37.440
<v Speaker 1>not going to be a door to door ferrying service

0:37:37.480 --> 0:37:39.520
<v Speaker 1>for these people, right, So it's not if you have

0:37:40.040 --> 0:37:44.600
<v Speaker 1>relatives in Peoria. I don't think that the federal government's

0:37:44.600 --> 0:37:46.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, oh yeah, we're gonna just put you on

0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:48.239
<v Speaker 1>a plan and take you there or you know, here

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you go, We're gonna drive you ourselves to Peory, Illinois.

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's going to happen. But to be

0:37:54.080 --> 0:37:57.960
<v Speaker 1>dropped off in a major city, for a lot of them,

0:37:58.000 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 1>that's probably gonna be a good thing. And if it's

0:37:59.680 --> 0:38:02.640
<v Speaker 1>not the thing, the only reason would be that they

0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:05.920
<v Speaker 1>have family in this country already and that they're scamming

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the system, right, I mean, if they're true refugees, you

0:38:09.120 --> 0:38:11.279
<v Speaker 1>would think that this wasn't about trying to link up

0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:13.200
<v Speaker 1>with people in this country that they already know who

0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:17.879
<v Speaker 1>are here. They're not true refugees though, so we it's

0:38:17.920 --> 0:38:19.719
<v Speaker 1>not clear how many. I don't I don't think they

0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:22.960
<v Speaker 1>even tracked this, how many of them have an internal

0:38:23.400 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 1>sponsor ready to go for them when they arrive. I

0:38:25.520 --> 0:38:27.040
<v Speaker 1>would guess a lot of them do. But for those

0:38:27.080 --> 0:38:28.880
<v Speaker 1>that don't, yeah, you probably do want to get dropped

0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:32.799
<v Speaker 1>off in Los Angeles or San Francisco or you know,

0:38:33.080 --> 0:38:35.040
<v Speaker 1>places that are close to the border like that that

0:38:35.080 --> 0:38:39.359
<v Speaker 1>are sanctuary cities. Why doesn't Los Angeles get excited about

0:38:39.400 --> 0:38:42.480
<v Speaker 1>this prospect? Now? I saw share? But what was it?

0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:44.399
<v Speaker 1>The chair over the weekend tweeted, I got I gotta

0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:47.160
<v Speaker 1>find this real quick because this was this was kind

0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 1>of a wow wow moment because the President, President Trump

0:38:53.680 --> 0:39:00.520
<v Speaker 1>responded to this share said something about sanctuary cities that

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:06.120
<v Speaker 1>got retwet tweeted and people were very by the President

0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:09.600
<v Speaker 1>United States. Here you go? What was that? What was

0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:12.359
<v Speaker 1>the tweet mic that she said? Okay, here you go?

0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:16.240
<v Speaker 1>This is share the sent do you do you believe

0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:20.360
<v Speaker 1>your life after live? That is not a good share impersonation.

0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:25.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know what I'm you know, I'm talking about believe.

0:39:26.160 --> 0:39:29.839
<v Speaker 1>It's it's kind of an I'm getting closer. I'm getting closer. Yeah, yeah,

0:39:29.920 --> 0:39:32.040
<v Speaker 1>make fun of me all you want. Yeah, I know

0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I deserve that. That sounds that sound a little bit

0:39:36.160 --> 0:39:39.359
<v Speaker 1>like like somebody from the Muppets? Do you believe your

0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:44.800
<v Speaker 1>life after live? But Share tweeted out, I understand helping

0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:49.239
<v Speaker 1>struggling immigrants, but my city, Los Angeles isn't taking care

0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:52.240
<v Speaker 1>of its own. What about the fifty thousand plus citizens

0:39:52.280 --> 0:39:55.480
<v Speaker 1>who live on the streets, people who live below the

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:58.839
<v Speaker 1>poverty line and are hungry. If my state can't take

0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:01.160
<v Speaker 1>care of its own men, our vets, how can it

0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:04.759
<v Speaker 1>take care of more? Hold on, hold the phone, Hold

0:40:04.800 --> 0:40:08.400
<v Speaker 1>on a second here, whoa whoa whoa nice shooting? Share?

0:40:09.800 --> 0:40:13.440
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean that we could have a conversation

0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:16.000
<v Speaker 1>about taking care of those already in this country that

0:40:16.040 --> 0:40:19.799
<v Speaker 1>are poor and needy before bringing an additional million poor

0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:22.279
<v Speaker 1>and needy people into the country who are coming in

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:25.160
<v Speaker 1>illegally and aren't Americans in any way, shape or form.

0:40:27.040 --> 0:40:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Is that and is that a conversation we could at

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:33.680
<v Speaker 1>least have. Well that's a racist, right, That's what they'll say.

0:40:33.719 --> 0:40:37.360
<v Speaker 1>That's what the left will say. But because of the

0:40:37.360 --> 0:40:41.399
<v Speaker 1>back last to this, it should it should surprise no

0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:46.279
<v Speaker 1>one that Share because the president, President Trump retweeted her,

0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:52.719
<v Speaker 1>and now she's walking it. She's walking it back. Those

0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:55.759
<v Speaker 1>who can must take Oh no, I'm sorry, this is

0:40:55.760 --> 0:41:00.400
<v Speaker 1>a pardon me. She changed her mind from US September

0:41:00.480 --> 0:41:05.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen tweet, So she's actually shifted towards Trump, not

0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:08.640
<v Speaker 1>away from Trump. Pardon me. And here's what she said

0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>in seven twenty seventeen. Those who can must take a

0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:15.319
<v Speaker 1>dreamer into their home and protect them. I'm ready to

0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:20.560
<v Speaker 1>do this, and others of my business will do the same. Sanctuary, sanctuary,

0:41:20.680 --> 0:41:30.239
<v Speaker 1>she says. But Share, the singer of share Fame, she

0:41:31.120 --> 0:41:35.920
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, has a different, different approach to this,

0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:41.560
<v Speaker 1>recognizes that, oh, that's right, maybe adding to the roles

0:41:41.560 --> 0:41:45.000
<v Speaker 1>of those who need government assistance when we already have

0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:48.040
<v Speaker 1>quite a poverty problem in Los Angeles right now. If

0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:51.160
<v Speaker 1>you spend any time there. Last time I was there,

0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I saw it tent cities and people living in tents

0:41:54.160 --> 0:41:59.160
<v Speaker 1>all over the streets. It's unsanitary, it's dangerous. It is

0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a blight for the communities that have to deal with this.

0:42:02.600 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you should not have people living on the

0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:10.799
<v Speaker 1>streets in cities made up of tents, you know, and cardboard,

0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:12.920
<v Speaker 1>But that's what you have in some parts of And

0:42:12.960 --> 0:42:16.400
<v Speaker 1>these are people that are in some cases choosing, choosing

0:42:16.440 --> 0:42:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to be homeless, choosing to live a life on the streets.

0:42:21.040 --> 0:42:23.879
<v Speaker 1>It's not just people that are down on their luck.

0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:27.920
<v Speaker 1>There is this decision to be a vagrant that is

0:42:29.160 --> 0:42:31.840
<v Speaker 1>more and more a thing. I'm not saying it's a

0:42:31.880 --> 0:42:34.640
<v Speaker 1>majority of them, but there are people that are choosing

0:42:34.680 --> 0:42:39.960
<v Speaker 1>a life of vagrancy. Then there was all this challenge

0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:42.680
<v Speaker 1>back to the sanctuary cities and the transferring of them.

0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:44.759
<v Speaker 1>There was this whole challenge about whether or not this

0:42:44.840 --> 0:42:46.840
<v Speaker 1>is legal. And I just I like it that Tom Homan,

0:42:46.840 --> 0:42:50.360
<v Speaker 1>who was the former acting ICE director, every time I

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:52.520
<v Speaker 1>see him in Fox News in the Great Room, he's like, Buck,

0:42:52.520 --> 0:42:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I loved your head. I'm like, Tom, that's so funny

0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:57.080
<v Speaker 1>because I loved your head right before. We see this

0:42:57.120 --> 0:43:01.200
<v Speaker 1>issue very eye to eye, probably because we both. I mean,

0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:04.160
<v Speaker 1>he knows a tremendous amount of issues he's been handling

0:43:04.160 --> 0:43:07.319
<v Speaker 1>for decades. But we've been doing our deep dives into this.

0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And here's what Tom said about the challenges to the

0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:14.920
<v Speaker 1>legality of this whole situation. People are saying, oh, no,

0:43:15.000 --> 0:43:20.359
<v Speaker 1>you can't do that, it would be illegal. Well play

0:43:20.400 --> 0:43:23.800
<v Speaker 1>with eight. I don't understand what they're talking about. Legalities

0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:26.720
<v Speaker 1>because we already moved people. When I was the ICE director,

0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:29.880
<v Speaker 1>we moved people all of the country. ICE moves aliens

0:43:29.960 --> 0:43:32.640
<v Speaker 1>all of the country, different facilities in all fifty states.

0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:36.080
<v Speaker 1>And I tell you something, we're right now. We're moving

0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:38.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, a company alien children at government expense first

0:43:38.880 --> 0:43:41.400
<v Speaker 1>or moved to an h chess facility, and once they

0:43:41.440 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 1>find a parent sponsor at government expense, they're moving to

0:43:44.840 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 1>h Chess facity to reunite with a parent or sponsor.

0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Have to deal with the consequences of their failures and

0:43:52.160 --> 0:43:55.960
<v Speaker 1>their resistance. Administration Coigress has failed on this issue. The

0:43:56.080 --> 0:43:58.880
<v Speaker 1>reasons they're caravans at the boarder to begin with is

0:43:58.880 --> 0:44:02.200
<v Speaker 1>because Congress hasn't to loopholes in the law. Nancy Pelosi,

0:44:02.560 --> 0:44:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Governor Newsom, two people who've been pushing for WelCom borders

0:44:05.880 --> 0:44:08.600
<v Speaker 1>in California, such a welcoming state. I would think they'd

0:44:08.600 --> 0:44:13.239
<v Speaker 1>applaud this effort, saying they moved people all over the

0:44:13.440 --> 0:44:16.560
<v Speaker 1>all over the country, already spending a lot of money

0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:19.879
<v Speaker 1>doing it too. Why are the Democrats opposed to this?

0:44:21.120 --> 0:44:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Notice is a trend among the left, among the Democrats

0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that they say they're in favor of things until all

0:44:26.200 --> 0:44:27.480
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden you're going to give it to them,

0:44:27.920 --> 0:44:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and unless they can get out of it, unless it

0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:34.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't apply to them, Oh well then they've got Then

0:44:34.600 --> 0:44:38.600
<v Speaker 1>they got a problem. Then they've got a problem. They

0:44:38.640 --> 0:44:40.160
<v Speaker 1>don't want to live under the rules they want to

0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:42.480
<v Speaker 1>make us live under. They don't want to pay the

0:44:42.520 --> 0:44:45.880
<v Speaker 1>taxes they want you to pay. They don't want to

0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:50.000
<v Speaker 1>have their schools overrun with you know, English as a

0:44:50.040 --> 0:44:53.600
<v Speaker 1>second language instruction and you know recently arrived to legals

0:44:53.600 --> 0:44:55.960
<v Speaker 1>who if there are from war torn countries or countries

0:44:55.960 --> 0:44:58.680
<v Speaker 1>with tremendous poverty and problems, are going to need additional

0:44:58.680 --> 0:45:03.120
<v Speaker 1>school resources, just the just a fact. You know, the

0:45:03.160 --> 0:45:07.719
<v Speaker 1>problems of crime and lawlessness that come to communities where

0:45:07.760 --> 0:45:11.320
<v Speaker 1>there's and you might say, well buck, but the overall numbers.

0:45:11.920 --> 0:45:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I want no MS thirteen gangsters in this country. I

0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:16.120
<v Speaker 1>want none. And I know that there are some who

0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:18.120
<v Speaker 1>are born here, are from here, but I don't want

0:45:18.160 --> 0:45:22.759
<v Speaker 1>any additional ones. This is why you have screening processes.

0:45:22.760 --> 0:45:25.359
<v Speaker 1>This is why immigration is a process a system. If

0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:28.960
<v Speaker 1>what the left beliefs about immigration now is true, someone

0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:30.360
<v Speaker 1>has to explain to me why we should have an

0:45:30.360 --> 0:45:33.799
<v Speaker 1>immigration system at all. If whoever shows up at our

0:45:33.840 --> 0:45:36.000
<v Speaker 1>border is worthy and a good person and should be

0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:39.200
<v Speaker 1>an American, which is a whole other step, right, we

0:45:39.200 --> 0:45:41.200
<v Speaker 1>should be brought into the American family. If anyone who

0:45:41.200 --> 0:45:43.839
<v Speaker 1>shows up at our border falls into that category, then

0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 1>why have an immigration system at all? Why not just

0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:48.879
<v Speaker 1>have you know, why not have an open border? Left

0:45:48.960 --> 0:45:52.440
<v Speaker 1>has no answer for this. They just have accusations and taunts,

0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:55.120
<v Speaker 1>tell you you're racist, to tell you're a bad person.

0:45:55.880 --> 0:45:58.640
<v Speaker 1>And if you try to engage them on this issue,

0:45:58.920 --> 0:46:01.400
<v Speaker 1>you just hear talking phone talking points and then outrage

0:46:01.680 --> 0:46:05.120
<v Speaker 1>because intellectually their position is just untenable. It makes no sense,

0:46:05.160 --> 0:46:09.000
<v Speaker 1>It is self contradictory, and they don't want to accept it.

0:46:09.000 --> 0:46:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Their open borders, but they are bring the illegal earlier.

0:46:16.440 --> 0:46:18.320
<v Speaker 1>They call them the illegals. I call them the illegals.

0:46:18.320 --> 0:46:21.560
<v Speaker 1>They came across the border illegally. Will bring them to

0:46:21.960 --> 0:46:27.440
<v Speaker 1>sanctuary city areas and let that particular area take care

0:46:27.480 --> 0:46:29.719
<v Speaker 1>of it, whether it's a state or whatever it might be.

0:46:29.840 --> 0:46:32.560
<v Speaker 1>California certainly is always saying, oh, we want more people,

0:46:33.400 --> 0:46:35.879
<v Speaker 1>and they want more people in their sanctuary cities. Well

0:46:35.960 --> 0:46:37.759
<v Speaker 1>we'll give them more people. We can give them a lot.

0:46:37.800 --> 0:46:40.919
<v Speaker 1>We can give them an unlimited supply. And let's see

0:46:40.920 --> 0:46:43.120
<v Speaker 1>if they're so happy. They say we have open arms.

0:46:43.160 --> 0:46:45.000
<v Speaker 1>They're always saying they have open arms. Let's see if

0:46:45.000 --> 0:46:48.400
<v Speaker 1>they have open arms. And President Trump has managed to

0:46:49.719 --> 0:46:54.400
<v Speaker 1>troll the Democrats into refuting what you would think is

0:46:54.440 --> 0:46:56.719
<v Speaker 1>a mainstream position for them, which is that the more

0:46:56.880 --> 0:47:01.279
<v Speaker 1>the more sanctuary city immigrants legal immigrants you can gather

0:47:01.360 --> 0:47:05.960
<v Speaker 1>one place, the better they should. They should absolutely be

0:47:06.000 --> 0:47:08.640
<v Speaker 1>in favor of this, but they're not. In fact, they

0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:11.160
<v Speaker 1>are are claiming, as I just mentioned before the break,

0:47:11.200 --> 0:47:15.120
<v Speaker 1>that the issue here is one of legality that the

0:47:15.160 --> 0:47:17.480
<v Speaker 1>president can't do. It would be illegal for him to

0:47:17.560 --> 0:47:20.960
<v Speaker 1>do this. Play clip nine. This is Jerry Nadler, whose

0:47:21.040 --> 0:47:23.200
<v Speaker 1>legal analysis is terrible, but this is what he said.

0:47:23.480 --> 0:47:28.239
<v Speaker 1>The President has no right to spend money appropriated by

0:47:28.280 --> 0:47:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Congress for the purposes to ship immigrants solo over the country.

0:47:32.120 --> 0:47:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Nor is it right for the president to use immigrants

0:47:36.000 --> 0:47:39.600
<v Speaker 1>or people who are claiming political asylum as pawns in

0:47:40.239 --> 0:47:45.640
<v Speaker 1>a fight against political opponents. Why why are they being

0:47:45.719 --> 0:47:48.720
<v Speaker 1>used as pawns? Why aren't they a gift from Trump

0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:52.680
<v Speaker 1>directly to these actuary cities? What would be wrong with this.

0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Democrats never get to why they oppose it, what's the problem,

0:47:58.560 --> 0:48:01.520
<v Speaker 1>why would this scare people? Right? Democrats are very convinced

0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:04.400
<v Speaker 1>that there's no downside from any of this, so it

0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:07.520
<v Speaker 1>should be fine, it should be great. And as for

0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:10.759
<v Speaker 1>no right to ship immigrants around the country. This as

0:48:10.760 --> 0:48:13.399
<v Speaker 1>we mentioned before Tom Holm, and this happens constantly. They're

0:48:13.400 --> 0:48:17.120
<v Speaker 1>shipping immigrants all over the country. This is what an

0:48:17.120 --> 0:48:21.600
<v Speaker 1>immigration and custom enforcement has to do. They're they're spending

0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:24.440
<v Speaker 1>all this money reuniting kids with their parents. What they say,

0:48:24.520 --> 0:48:28.480
<v Speaker 1>what it really is is parents that came here illegally

0:48:28.480 --> 0:48:32.319
<v Speaker 1>in many cases are now in a position where their

0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:34.720
<v Speaker 1>kids shows up at the border. The kid gets essentially

0:48:34.719 --> 0:48:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a taxpayer funded ferry service to take him or her

0:48:39.160 --> 0:48:41.279
<v Speaker 1>to the illegal parent anywhere in the country, got to

0:48:41.280 --> 0:48:44.920
<v Speaker 1>reunite them with the family. No questions asked about that.

0:48:47.040 --> 0:48:54.200
<v Speaker 1>It's astonishing, it really is. They have no real response

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:55.640
<v Speaker 1>to any of this from the left other than the

0:48:55.760 --> 0:48:58.719
<v Speaker 1>usual stuff about how it's you know, we're so racist,

0:48:58.760 --> 0:49:02.680
<v Speaker 1>we're so terrible. Um. You know, the people take the

0:49:02.680 --> 0:49:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders approach, which is just to trash the president.

0:49:07.080 --> 0:49:09.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, if he's all these things that they say

0:49:09.120 --> 0:49:12.319
<v Speaker 1>he is. Why can't they make better arguments about why

0:49:12.320 --> 0:49:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump is wrong? Why did his always devolve into this

0:49:15.160 --> 0:49:19.520
<v Speaker 1>name calling? You know, I have had so many disagreements

0:49:19.520 --> 0:49:21.799
<v Speaker 1>with Democrats. I mean, I have disagreement with Democrats every day.

0:49:21.840 --> 0:49:24.240
<v Speaker 1>It's what I do. But I'm not always just running

0:49:24.239 --> 0:49:26.440
<v Speaker 1>around saying how they're a bunch of bigots and racists

0:49:26.480 --> 0:49:28.880
<v Speaker 1>and this and that. I mean, their policies are crazy,

0:49:28.960 --> 0:49:32.000
<v Speaker 1>so I call them crazy. But you know, here's a

0:49:32.080 --> 0:49:36.480
<v Speaker 1>taste of how Bernie responds to the president and how

0:49:36.520 --> 0:49:38.799
<v Speaker 1>he refers to the president. I still think Bernie's gonna

0:49:38.800 --> 0:49:41.560
<v Speaker 1>be the Democrat nominee play for can I understand why

0:49:41.600 --> 0:49:44.439
<v Speaker 1>people voted for Trump. I got that, But the sad

0:49:44.520 --> 0:49:47.920
<v Speaker 1>trip is, and I'm not the first person to save us.

0:49:48.560 --> 0:49:52.440
<v Speaker 1>We have a president who he is a pathological lawyer,

0:49:54.560 --> 0:49:59.480
<v Speaker 1>lawyers my favorite day. I mean, the media has stopped

0:49:59.480 --> 0:50:04.000
<v Speaker 1>invented thousands of lies that he has pulled, and he

0:50:04.120 --> 0:50:15.320
<v Speaker 1>lied during the campaign. That's right, that a sexist, all racist,

0:50:15.760 --> 0:50:21.440
<v Speaker 1>all texist, a homophobe, all of these things. Such a

0:50:21.520 --> 0:50:23.440
<v Speaker 1>focus on the name calling, why not a focus on

0:50:23.480 --> 0:50:28.360
<v Speaker 1>the policies. Here, here's why Bernie Sanders said, it's understandable

0:50:28.360 --> 0:50:30.319
<v Speaker 1>why people voted for Trump. Here's one reason why they

0:50:30.400 --> 0:50:34.719
<v Speaker 1>voted for Trump because they know that the federal government overall,

0:50:35.840 --> 0:50:39.040
<v Speaker 1>both parties, and the media have been lying to them

0:50:39.040 --> 0:50:43.600
<v Speaker 1>about immigration for for years, if not decades, just lying

0:50:43.600 --> 0:50:47.560
<v Speaker 1>about it. It's always it's always, you know, illegal immigration specifically,

0:50:47.560 --> 0:50:49.480
<v Speaker 1>it's always a good thing. It's great. We need more

0:50:49.520 --> 0:50:51.440
<v Speaker 1>of it, no problem, we got it under control. We're

0:50:51.440 --> 0:50:54.839
<v Speaker 1>deporting a lot of people. All this is nonsense. There

0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:57.480
<v Speaker 1>are eleven million illegals in the country. No, no serious

0:50:57.520 --> 0:51:01.880
<v Speaker 1>person believes this. Zo Well put the number. If you

0:51:01.880 --> 0:51:07.040
<v Speaker 1>think that survey data, voluntary survey data, is sufficient to

0:51:07.040 --> 0:51:09.520
<v Speaker 1>tell you how many people are hiding in this country illegally,

0:51:09.520 --> 0:51:12.520
<v Speaker 1>they're not really hiding, but living in the country illegally.

0:51:14.840 --> 0:51:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that there's a chance, and it depends on

0:51:17.120 --> 0:51:21.000
<v Speaker 1>how the base really feels about Trump that he sails

0:51:21.040 --> 0:51:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to reelection in part because the Democrats are so deeply

0:51:26.400 --> 0:51:30.040
<v Speaker 1>un serious on the issue immigration and the crisis at

0:51:30.080 --> 0:51:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the border is so clearly something that they are in

0:51:33.560 --> 0:51:39.000
<v Speaker 1>favor of, that they advocate for that the American people,

0:51:39.080 --> 0:51:43.680
<v Speaker 1>at least those who aren't completely ideologically aligned with the

0:51:43.719 --> 0:51:47.400
<v Speaker 1>far left and with the left wing aims of the Democrats,

0:51:47.400 --> 0:51:48.840
<v Speaker 1>that the American people are just going to say, I

0:51:49.080 --> 0:51:51.400
<v Speaker 1>can't do this. You know, if they're not going to

0:51:51.440 --> 0:51:54.840
<v Speaker 1>secure the border, we can't put them in power. We

0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:58.360
<v Speaker 1>can't put Democrats in charge. Even if Trump is imperfect

0:51:58.400 --> 0:52:00.600
<v Speaker 1>on the issue, at least he's saying the right things.

0:52:00.800 --> 0:52:04.279
<v Speaker 1>At least he's trying to do something. What Democrats are

0:52:04.280 --> 0:52:06.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to do is continue the crisis, make things worse,

0:52:09.000 --> 0:52:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and that, for me, could be a deciding factor I

0:52:14.040 --> 0:52:17.319
<v Speaker 1>think in Trump's reelection. I mean not just for me,

0:52:17.360 --> 0:52:19.720
<v Speaker 1>but I mean that in my analysis of this could

0:52:19.719 --> 0:52:23.920
<v Speaker 1>be why Trump wins. If the economy is strong and

0:52:24.040 --> 0:52:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats just continue this posture of being de facto

0:52:27.400 --> 0:52:30.200
<v Speaker 1>open borders. I don't see how you could have a

0:52:30.239 --> 0:52:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Democrat defeat president of the next election cycle. I just

0:52:32.920 --> 0:52:37.680
<v Speaker 1>don't see it. Do we get a massive recession, I

0:52:37.760 --> 0:52:40.480
<v Speaker 1>keep saying that's gonna be that's the game change. Remember

0:52:40.520 --> 0:52:45.560
<v Speaker 1>that happened. People forget that Obama got very lucky. You

0:52:45.640 --> 0:52:47.799
<v Speaker 1>had an eight years of a Republican president and then

0:52:47.840 --> 0:52:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a huge recession and one that was really felt at

0:52:54.000 --> 0:52:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the time like it could be catastrophic financially and economically,

0:52:57.680 --> 0:53:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and Obama came in in with his hope and change

0:53:01.640 --> 0:53:04.239
<v Speaker 1>and all this stuff, and as a result, we had

0:53:04.280 --> 0:53:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression.

0:53:10.080 --> 0:53:12.600
<v Speaker 1>As much as Democrats want to pretend that the stimulus

0:53:12.640 --> 0:53:18.200
<v Speaker 1>was some great savior of the country, it's just Obama

0:53:18.320 --> 0:53:20.320
<v Speaker 1>was not a good steward of the recovery, nor was

0:53:20.360 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 1>he a good steward of the economy overall. But he

0:53:22.600 --> 0:53:26.719
<v Speaker 1>did get lucky. From an election perspective, the Republicans have

0:53:26.760 --> 0:53:28.279
<v Speaker 1>been in power and then all of a sudden things

0:53:28.280 --> 0:53:30.759
<v Speaker 1>look pretty bad and people decided they wanted something new.

0:53:30.800 --> 0:53:34.640
<v Speaker 1>If that happens, Bernie Sanders saying, you're gonna get free distant,

0:53:34.680 --> 0:53:38.600
<v Speaker 1>free that, free college, free healthcare, free cookie, show up

0:53:38.640 --> 0:53:40.400
<v Speaker 1>at the show up at a rally, get a free cookie.

0:53:41.480 --> 0:53:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Daniell probably be able to He'll probably be able to win.

0:53:44.560 --> 0:53:50.920
<v Speaker 1>That's my real concern. I don't think Congress, particularly not

0:53:51.040 --> 0:53:54.080
<v Speaker 1>this group of congressmen and women, are smart enough to

0:53:54.200 --> 0:53:57.560
<v Speaker 1>look through the thousands of pages that I would assume

0:53:57.640 --> 0:54:00.759
<v Speaker 1>that President Trump's taxes will be. My guess is most

0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:03.280
<v Speaker 1>of them don't do their own taxes. And I certainly

0:54:03.320 --> 0:54:06.480
<v Speaker 1>don't trust them to look through the decades of success

0:54:06.520 --> 0:54:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that the president has and determine anything. Democrats still fired

0:54:10.440 --> 0:54:15.160
<v Speaker 1>up over President Trump's taxes. But it's leading nowhere, folks.

0:54:14.680 --> 0:54:18.600
<v Speaker 1>That's a pretty confident prediction from yours, truly. But I

0:54:18.680 --> 0:54:21.200
<v Speaker 1>care about our taxes, as in I had to go

0:54:21.360 --> 0:54:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and stand in line today and deal with the Post

0:54:23.800 --> 0:54:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Office to make sure that Uncle Sam is getting enough

0:54:28.080 --> 0:54:33.120
<v Speaker 1>of my stuff. And I just find it very, very

0:54:33.160 --> 0:54:36.359
<v Speaker 1>frustrating that here we are paying all the taxes we do,

0:54:36.480 --> 0:54:39.960
<v Speaker 1>but the tax cut happened. There's some other stuff, taxes, taxes.

0:54:40.040 --> 0:54:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Who we turn to for insight on this matter, Matty

0:54:44.400 --> 0:54:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Duppler aka Dupples to me, at least she is with

0:54:48.000 --> 0:54:51.680
<v Speaker 1>us now. She is the president of Forward Strategies and

0:54:51.760 --> 0:54:56.239
<v Speaker 1>a tax wonk walk extraordinaire, Matty. Great to have you back,

0:54:56.920 --> 0:54:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Hey Bock, So you're down to the wire. How one

0:54:58.719 --> 0:55:02.200
<v Speaker 1>of those people have silent to minute? I? Well, you know,

0:55:02.239 --> 0:55:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I filed for an extension, but I still had to

0:55:04.000 --> 0:55:08.200
<v Speaker 1>write a big fat check. So what should what should

0:55:08.239 --> 0:55:10.120
<v Speaker 1>we think about where we are right now? Matt? I

0:55:10.120 --> 0:55:13.560
<v Speaker 1>mean the President's tax cut. He talks about it a

0:55:13.560 --> 0:55:17.080
<v Speaker 1>lot GOP's all excited about it. But I'll put aside

0:55:17.120 --> 0:55:18.799
<v Speaker 1>for a moment that we didn't elect Trump just to

0:55:18.840 --> 0:55:20.960
<v Speaker 1>cut taxes. I mean, that's one of many things you

0:55:21.040 --> 0:55:23.560
<v Speaker 1>wanted him to do. But how good a tax cut

0:55:23.640 --> 0:55:25.879
<v Speaker 1>was this really because it feels like I'm still giving

0:55:25.880 --> 0:55:27.880
<v Speaker 1>them the money, way too much money to the government.

0:55:28.560 --> 0:55:30.520
<v Speaker 1>You're still giving way too much to the money to

0:55:30.560 --> 0:55:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the government, no doubt about it. But but this was

0:55:33.520 --> 0:55:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the first time that we have had wholesale tax reform

0:55:36.880 --> 0:55:39.640
<v Speaker 1>in a generation. Thirty one year that took to reform

0:55:39.680 --> 0:55:41.839
<v Speaker 1>the tax code, and Trump, President Trump was the one

0:55:41.840 --> 0:55:43.160
<v Speaker 1>who was able to do it, So you have to

0:55:43.160 --> 0:55:45.960
<v Speaker 1>give him credit there. Now, over the last eighteen months

0:55:45.960 --> 0:55:49.080
<v Speaker 1>since the debate on tax reform started, there has been

0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:52.640
<v Speaker 1>so much at missinformation out there that it's pretty much

0:55:52.840 --> 0:55:57.040
<v Speaker 1>borderline criminal how much the establishment press got it wrong

0:55:57.080 --> 0:55:58.919
<v Speaker 1>on the tax cut. You thought today in the front

0:55:58.960 --> 0:56:01.640
<v Speaker 1>pages of the New York Time Time talking about how

0:56:01.680 --> 0:56:04.680
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of misleading data out there, But

0:56:04.800 --> 0:56:08.160
<v Speaker 1>in reality, the majority of Americans received the tax cut.

0:56:08.160 --> 0:56:11.160
<v Speaker 1>And since today is the first time Americans are filing

0:56:11.200 --> 0:56:13.840
<v Speaker 1>their taxes under the new code, they need to understand

0:56:13.880 --> 0:56:16.200
<v Speaker 1>that after months of being lied to, four out of

0:56:16.239 --> 0:56:18.640
<v Speaker 1>five taxpayers in the United States got a tax cut

0:56:18.800 --> 0:56:20.759
<v Speaker 1>as a result of the Tax Cutting Jobs Act. And

0:56:20.840 --> 0:56:22.759
<v Speaker 1>you hear a lot, especially now that we're going into

0:56:22.760 --> 0:56:26.360
<v Speaker 1>another presidential cycle, about Americans paying their fair share, we

0:56:26.440 --> 0:56:28.799
<v Speaker 1>need more taxes on rich people. But what the Tax

0:56:28.880 --> 0:56:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Cut and JOBSAC did was it actually increase the share

0:56:31.960 --> 0:56:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the burden on the higher income earners in this country.

0:56:34.760 --> 0:56:37.880
<v Speaker 1>It increased the progressivity in the tax code. And even

0:56:37.880 --> 0:56:40.400
<v Speaker 1>though those high income earners still got a tax cut,

0:56:40.680 --> 0:56:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the people who are benefiting the most are those who

0:56:42.520 --> 0:56:44.600
<v Speaker 1>are in the middle income brackets because they were the

0:56:44.600 --> 0:56:46.560
<v Speaker 1>ones who had the largest share of their after tax

0:56:46.680 --> 0:56:50.719
<v Speaker 1>income increased thanks for the Tax Cutting Jobs Act. If

0:56:50.760 --> 0:56:53.560
<v Speaker 1>you make fifty thousand dollars a year in this country

0:56:54.040 --> 0:56:56.400
<v Speaker 1>roughly speak. Now, I know there's deductions and blob the

0:56:56.480 --> 0:57:00.239
<v Speaker 1>blot all that, but roughly speaking, how much more hash

0:57:00.280 --> 0:57:02.239
<v Speaker 1>do you have in your pocket for the year this

0:57:02.320 --> 0:57:05.799
<v Speaker 1>past year twenty eighteen because of Trump's tax cut. So back,

0:57:05.840 --> 0:57:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the typical American family of four is making about seventy

0:57:09.480 --> 0:57:12.239
<v Speaker 1>two grand a year in this country and they over

0:57:12.360 --> 0:57:14.839
<v Speaker 1>two thousand. Yeah, they are making over They are over

0:57:14.880 --> 0:57:17.680
<v Speaker 1>two thousand dollars richer as a result of the tax

0:57:17.760 --> 0:57:21.040
<v Speaker 1>cut in jobs. And that's not just because their tax

0:57:21.120 --> 0:57:23.960
<v Speaker 1>rate was reduced, which is true for income earners across

0:57:24.000 --> 0:57:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the scale. It's also because they doubled the child tax

0:57:27.040 --> 0:57:30.840
<v Speaker 1>credit and the eligibility for the child tax credit was expanded,

0:57:30.880 --> 0:57:32.920
<v Speaker 1>So not only do you have a bigger child tax credit,

0:57:33.200 --> 0:57:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you might be eligible for it when you weren't able

0:57:35.200 --> 0:57:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to cash it in it Before the AMT, the alternative

0:57:38.280 --> 0:57:42.000
<v Speaker 1>minimum tax, which is essentially a double tax structure where

0:57:42.080 --> 0:57:44.360
<v Speaker 1>most tax filers had to do their taxes twice and

0:57:44.360 --> 0:57:48.000
<v Speaker 1>then pay the highest number of their taxes, that was

0:57:48.040 --> 0:57:50.480
<v Speaker 1>diminished a little bit. Five million people fell out of

0:57:50.520 --> 0:57:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the AMT, and as a result they now have more

0:57:53.960 --> 0:57:57.640
<v Speaker 1>tax credits and deductions that they can take. Other parts

0:57:57.640 --> 0:57:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of the task Coude that you don't hear a lot about,

0:57:59.440 --> 0:58:02.880
<v Speaker 1>but our really important expansion of five twenty nine savings accounts.

0:58:02.960 --> 0:58:05.920
<v Speaker 1>This allows families to use tax free savings not just

0:58:06.040 --> 0:58:09.120
<v Speaker 1>for college, but for primary and secondary education. As you know,

0:58:09.160 --> 0:58:11.520
<v Speaker 1>we've got a labor shortage in this country, we've got

0:58:11.520 --> 0:58:15.439
<v Speaker 1>a training epidemic in this country. Allowing families to use

0:58:15.520 --> 0:58:19.240
<v Speaker 1>money for diverse education needs. It's certainly a way to

0:58:19.240 --> 0:58:22.160
<v Speaker 1>help the average American family in this country. And you know,

0:58:22.200 --> 0:58:23.720
<v Speaker 1>you don't hear a lot about the ways of this

0:58:23.840 --> 0:58:26.320
<v Speaker 1>tax code help that average American family, because we have

0:58:26.400 --> 0:58:29.120
<v Speaker 1>to remember, Democrats did not vote for this tax bill.

0:58:29.240 --> 0:58:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Not a single Democrat could say, yes, I want to

0:58:31.720 --> 0:58:34.280
<v Speaker 1>cut race for the every American, I want to cut

0:58:34.360 --> 0:58:37.560
<v Speaker 1>rates at every level of the income tax code. I

0:58:37.560 --> 0:58:40.919
<v Speaker 1>want to give a double child tax credit, I want

0:58:40.960 --> 0:58:44.040
<v Speaker 1>to expand the eligibility for the child tax cred and

0:58:44.040 --> 0:58:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the use of five twenty nine. Not a single Democrat

0:58:46.600 --> 0:58:47.920
<v Speaker 1>could say that that was a good move for the

0:58:47.920 --> 0:58:50.560
<v Speaker 1>American people. I think that the American people will remember that,

0:58:50.840 --> 0:58:53.160
<v Speaker 1>particularly today if they're like you, waiting in line to

0:58:53.200 --> 0:58:55.640
<v Speaker 1>write a check to the government and not particularly pleased

0:58:55.640 --> 0:59:00.760
<v Speaker 1>about it. The corporate tax cut was how important and

0:59:00.760 --> 0:59:03.440
<v Speaker 1>how effective? Because what you hear and I've been treated

0:59:03.480 --> 0:59:04.960
<v Speaker 1>to a lot of this in the last few weeks

0:59:05.400 --> 0:59:07.720
<v Speaker 1>on the set of Rising, where we have a bunch

0:59:07.720 --> 0:59:10.400
<v Speaker 1>of Democrat Marxists who come on to talk about how

0:59:10.400 --> 0:59:13.240
<v Speaker 1>this was all just for the rich people. What do

0:59:13.360 --> 0:59:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you say to those who claim that the corporate tax

0:59:16.120 --> 0:59:19.080
<v Speaker 1>cut was just giving fat cats more cash and doesn't

0:59:19.080 --> 0:59:23.360
<v Speaker 1>help average Americans. I find this argument to be so

0:59:23.480 --> 0:59:28.920
<v Speaker 1>interesting because you can't look around any corner without economic

0:59:29.000 --> 0:59:31.600
<v Speaker 1>data that just proves it. Now, the President was very

0:59:31.600 --> 0:59:34.440
<v Speaker 1>clear when the tax bill was being negotiated. He had

0:59:34.480 --> 0:59:37.160
<v Speaker 1>two major objectives with getting it done. One was delivering

0:59:37.160 --> 0:59:39.440
<v Speaker 1>a middle class tax cut. The other was making the

0:59:39.520 --> 0:59:42.439
<v Speaker 1>United States competitive. Again. We had the highest corporate tax

0:59:42.520 --> 0:59:44.680
<v Speaker 1>rate in the developed world, and we were trying to

0:59:44.680 --> 0:59:47.560
<v Speaker 1>compete with countries that had cut their corporate tax rates

0:59:47.560 --> 0:59:49.960
<v Speaker 1>so much that they were ten percentage points below where

0:59:50.000 --> 0:59:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the American rate was. Not only that American companies repeatalized

0:59:54.160 --> 0:59:56.160
<v Speaker 1>whenever they earned money overseas and try to bring it

0:59:56.200 --> 0:59:58.360
<v Speaker 1>back because we were one of the only countries where

0:59:58.360 --> 1:00:01.560
<v Speaker 1>we forced companies to pay taxes twice on those profits.

1:00:01.640 --> 1:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Tax cutting jobs that got rid of that. It creates

1:00:04.040 --> 1:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a more competitive environment by lowering that corporate tax rate

1:00:06.600 --> 1:00:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to twenty one percent, And the result of that is

1:00:09.120 --> 1:00:11.640
<v Speaker 1>what we hear about every month when we're talking about

1:00:11.720 --> 1:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>jobs numbers. And the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases their

1:00:15.080 --> 1:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>report at the first Fronday Friday of every month. In

1:00:17.920 --> 1:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen, for the first time, in ten years, the

1:00:20.320 --> 1:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>average American worker finally started to see a pay increase.

1:00:24.040 --> 1:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's because when you reduce those barriers on corporate profits,

1:00:28.280 --> 1:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>corporations then can take that money and invest it back

1:00:31.200 --> 1:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>into their companies as a means of making their workers

1:00:34.120 --> 1:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>more productive. When workers are more productive, they are allowed

1:00:37.160 --> 1:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>to demand more labor, more value for their labor, and

1:00:39.680 --> 1:00:42.160
<v Speaker 1>they are paid more. So that's why you're seeing wages

1:00:42.280 --> 1:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>rise now. And that's why you had not seen wages

1:00:44.520 --> 1:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>rise even though the economy has started to expand the

1:00:47.720 --> 1:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>beginning ten years ago. This was a very secular expansion

1:00:52.040 --> 1:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>in recovery because workers did not see their wages rise

1:00:55.640 --> 1:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>at all, because we still have that corporate tax rate

1:00:58.800 --> 1:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>that created so much obstruction to growth that workers cann't

1:01:02.360 --> 1:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>get their piece of the pie and not for enough

1:01:04.160 --> 1:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>in bucks. The people who are benefiting the most are

1:01:06.280 --> 1:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the bottom ten percent of those workers. They are the

1:01:08.560 --> 1:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>ones who are seeing their wages rise faster than any

1:01:11.600 --> 1:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>other cohort who in that economic picture, their wages are

1:01:16.120 --> 1:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>rising faster than they have since two thousand, that's almost

1:01:18.920 --> 1:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>a twenty year gap, well before we've seen that kind

1:01:21.840 --> 1:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>of rate of increase. So for the people who are

1:01:23.680 --> 1:01:25.919
<v Speaker 1>coming on rising, who are telling you that it's only

1:01:25.960 --> 1:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the fatcasts on Wall Street who are getting rich. They

1:01:28.280 --> 1:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>are not paying attention to the economic data. They are

1:01:30.560 --> 1:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>not paying attention to the average American and their story

1:01:33.040 --> 1:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that's being told across this country. And they better wake

1:01:35.480 --> 1:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>up because they keep ignoring that. What they're going to

1:01:37.320 --> 1:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>do is they're going to fuel another I think, embrace

1:01:42.120 --> 1:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>of a Trump presidency. Whatever happened to real tax simplification?

1:01:47.120 --> 1:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Why is it that the tax code is still over

1:01:49.440 --> 1:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>seventy thousand pages. Ted Cruz was campaigning on doing your

1:01:53.240 --> 1:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>taxes on a postage card or postage whatever you call it.

1:01:56.280 --> 1:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>A what do you send people with the postcard? Yeah,

1:02:00.120 --> 1:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>thank you? A postcard English not really my first language.

1:02:03.520 --> 1:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Apparently on a postcard. Trump said, simplification is going to happen.

1:02:08.360 --> 1:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I understand that there's been some collapsing of rates and such,

1:02:10.960 --> 1:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>But the tax code, as far as I understand it

1:02:12.760 --> 1:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>is still tens of thousands of pages. Why why can't

1:02:15.400 --> 1:02:17.640
<v Speaker 1>we get a tax code that's like two pages, Maddie

1:02:17.680 --> 1:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>or one right? It is still far too complex. There

1:02:20.920 --> 1:02:24.920
<v Speaker 1>have been strides made in making it less complex. On

1:02:24.960 --> 1:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the individual side. You see that with now nine out

1:02:27.840 --> 1:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of ten filers are just taking the standard deduction because

1:02:30.880 --> 1:02:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the Tax Cutting Job Back doubled the standard deduction, so

1:02:33.840 --> 1:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>it made that the most lucrative tax break for individual

1:02:37.200 --> 1:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>earners to take. The National Tax parag Union, where I'm

1:02:40.440 --> 1:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a senior fellow, they released the report every year that

1:02:43.040 --> 1:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>talks about tax complexity and what the burden is that

1:02:46.200 --> 1:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>it puts on the economy, and that tax burden was

1:02:49.000 --> 1:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>decreased by about forty one million hours as a result

1:02:52.840 --> 1:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>of the Tax Cutting Jobs Act. There's still a lot

1:02:55.280 --> 1:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>of work to be done on the side of the

1:02:57.640 --> 1:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>corporate tax rate and the business side is things that

1:03:00.520 --> 1:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>still remains far too complex. If you can get rid

1:03:02.720 --> 1:03:05.920
<v Speaker 1>of some of those complexities, that will shave off the

1:03:05.960 --> 1:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>cost that it takes to administrate the tax burden and

1:03:09.480 --> 1:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>for companies to comply, and that will mean more money

1:03:12.360 --> 1:03:15.479
<v Speaker 1>and more economic turn back to the private enterprise, which

1:03:15.480 --> 1:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>of course allows the United States to become and stay

1:03:17.800 --> 1:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the most competitive economy in the world. Maddie Duppler, you

1:03:22.320 --> 1:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>do taxes like nobody else does taxes. Maddie, it's amazing.

1:03:26.200 --> 1:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>That's a dubious distinction. But thanks for having me up.

1:03:29.160 --> 1:03:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I know you. You're a super busy today. This woman's

1:03:31.640 --> 1:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>scout like fifty TV and radio hits over the course

1:03:34.720 --> 1:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>of tax Day because everyone else is like explained the

1:03:37.720 --> 1:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>taxes to me. Mattie, Maddie, thank you so much, so

1:03:39.760 --> 1:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>forward strategies. Everybody. You can follow Mattie on Twitter as well.

1:03:43.360 --> 1:03:47.959
<v Speaker 1>Duples you rock the COSBA. Thanks back, All right, team,

1:03:47.960 --> 1:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back. My name is Carlos Gazatua. I'm

1:03:54.160 --> 1:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the president for Sergio's Family Restaurants in Miami, Florida. Are

1:04:00.000 --> 1:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>business has been in business for over forty four years,

1:04:03.000 --> 1:04:06.160
<v Speaker 1>on third generation running the business. It's a woman based

1:04:06.320 --> 1:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>organization that started nineteen seventy five and now we currently

1:04:10.240 --> 1:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>have over six hundred and fifty employees into South Florida.

1:04:18.160 --> 1:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you that the tax cuts are working.

1:04:21.480 --> 1:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Here's what we're doing. We're investing in equipment and technology.

1:04:25.440 --> 1:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>We've created jobs in our corporate infrastructure to create a

1:04:28.320 --> 1:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>franchise system and for our stores. And today I am

1:04:32.520 --> 1:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>proud to announced with you that we'll be offering four

1:04:35.600 --> 1:04:42.360
<v Speaker 1>one case to all of our employees tomorrow. Real positive

1:04:42.480 --> 1:04:47.040
<v Speaker 1>change for a business owner, for a job creator down

1:04:47.080 --> 1:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>in Florida. Who's saying, Look, tax cuts have been a

1:04:53.040 --> 1:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>godsend for Austin, for our business, for our workers, for

1:04:55.600 --> 1:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>our employees. Government's never going to make you rich. Government's

1:05:01.360 --> 1:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>never going to make you happy. The government's never going

1:05:03.120 --> 1:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>to make you safe. This is what democrats don't understand.

1:05:08.600 --> 1:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Government's not your friends, not there to hug you, keep

1:05:10.880 --> 1:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you warm and safe at night. The government is there

1:05:15.560 --> 1:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to protect our rights and to engage in activities that

1:05:21.440 --> 1:05:27.720
<v Speaker 1>are clearly defined in the constitution. That is it. So

1:05:27.760 --> 1:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>when these people who come from the left, and there

1:05:30.720 --> 1:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>are even some on the right as well, suggest that,

1:05:33.200 --> 1:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's the government's business to be creating jobs,

1:05:35.720 --> 1:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>the government should be the one that are the ones

1:05:37.280 --> 1:05:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that are focused on this. Oh, if we want if

1:05:39.360 --> 1:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>we want jobs, what we need is an infrastructure bill. Yeah,

1:05:42.200 --> 1:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>that's what's going to do it. You know, what we

1:05:45.560 --> 1:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>really want is to get the government out of the

1:05:48.640 --> 1:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>way of people that are creating jobs by providing goods

1:05:52.120 --> 1:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>and services that people want and want more of, and

1:05:56.680 --> 1:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>want increasingly efficient delivery of those things at better prices.

1:06:03.040 --> 1:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>That's what people want. The tax cuts are always just

1:06:09.160 --> 1:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>we're just filled with all these lies about what happened

1:06:13.440 --> 1:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>to them. I mean, the way that people have in

1:06:15.920 --> 1:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the media talked about this is completely dishonest. It's really

1:06:22.040 --> 1:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>hard when when you look at this to come away

1:06:25.480 --> 1:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>and not think, oh, so this was really a victory

1:06:27.720 --> 1:06:33.400
<v Speaker 1>of fake news. I mean, this is a thread from

1:06:33.400 --> 1:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>my friend David Harsanyi, you know who we have on

1:06:38.000 --> 1:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>this show on a on a pretty regular basis, and

1:06:41.160 --> 1:06:46.320
<v Speaker 1>he pulled together a whole bunch of different ways that

1:06:46.440 --> 1:06:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Democrats were talking about the tax cuts. And what it

1:06:50.840 --> 1:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>shows you is that the tax cuts we're just lied

1:06:56.520 --> 1:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>about so much that it worked and people didn't take

1:07:00.600 --> 1:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the time. They didn't they didn't, you know, have enough

1:07:04.480 --> 1:07:06.320
<v Speaker 1>initiative on their own. So they've got other things to

1:07:06.360 --> 1:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>do to look into all this. But here you go.

1:07:10.720 --> 1:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>This is a story Metro dot us goop tax bill

1:07:13.640 --> 1:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>will kill ten thousand people a year, says economist Larry Summers.

1:07:20.240 --> 1:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>This is on the Hill dot com Pelosi gop GOP

1:07:24.000 --> 1:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>tax bill the worst bill in the history of Congress.

1:07:32.800 --> 1:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Meet some of the victims of the Trump tax plan.

1:07:35.720 --> 1:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>This is a Yahoo Finance piece Washington Post. It's not

1:07:40.240 --> 1:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>enough to give money to rich people. Apparently Republicans want

1:07:43.720 --> 1:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to kick the poor and middle class in the phase two.

1:07:46.920 --> 1:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>This is according to a supposedly serious economist at the

1:07:50.040 --> 1:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post, this is amazing, opinion, a tax plan to

1:07:58.600 --> 1:08:02.439
<v Speaker 1>turbo charge inequality in three charts. Tax cuts that mainly

1:08:02.480 --> 1:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>benefit the wealthy and spending cuts that mostly hit everyone

1:08:04.760 --> 1:08:11.080
<v Speaker 1>else will only widen the gap. So oh, here we go, CNN.

1:08:11.920 --> 1:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump's tax tax cuts are a bust. The ominous absurdity

1:08:16.520 --> 1:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of Trump's tax cuts. Five false or misleading things Trump

1:08:20.040 --> 1:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>said in his speech about taxes. It's just this is

1:08:23.840 --> 1:08:26.519
<v Speaker 1>just all It's all propaganda. I mean, I can go

1:08:26.560 --> 1:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>on and on and on. It's all propaganda. They say

1:08:30.200 --> 1:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>things like, oh, well, the most of the benefits go

1:08:32.040 --> 1:08:35.719
<v Speaker 1>to the rich, not as a proportion of money and wealth.

1:08:35.760 --> 1:08:40.719
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't. And here's what do you end up finding

1:08:40.760 --> 1:08:43.280
<v Speaker 1>out is that if you look at this tax and

1:08:43.439 --> 1:08:45.879
<v Speaker 1>we just talked to Mattie Deppler, who's a true tax experts,

1:08:45.880 --> 1:08:48.439
<v Speaker 1>a friend of mine, if you look at what happened here,

1:08:48.479 --> 1:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>everybody has more money. But the media's fake news was

1:08:52.600 --> 1:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>so successful in this process that here we are on

1:08:54.840 --> 1:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>tax Day and I am steamed about how much time

1:08:59.000 --> 1:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>and effort and money I had to give the government

1:09:01.240 --> 1:09:03.280
<v Speaker 1>in order to comply with my taxes. I think more

1:09:03.560 --> 1:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Americans should be upset about this. We shouldn't just like

1:09:07.479 --> 1:09:11.439
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of penned in cows ready to be milked,

1:09:11.840 --> 1:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>except that government has put us through all of this

1:09:15.080 --> 1:09:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and takes as much from us as it does. But

1:09:18.040 --> 1:09:20.040
<v Speaker 1>you still have most people thinking that they didn't get

1:09:20.080 --> 1:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>money that they got because they were lied to. This

1:09:23.320 --> 1:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>was an exercise in fake news by the media to

1:09:26.479 --> 1:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>undermine something that the Trump administration clearly did and accomplished,

1:09:31.160 --> 1:09:33.479
<v Speaker 1>which was the tax cut. They said they would do it,

1:09:33.520 --> 1:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and they did it. There have been serious benefits from it,

1:09:38.960 --> 1:09:42.599
<v Speaker 1>but they want to pretend that there's been nothing. In fact,

1:09:42.600 --> 1:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>it's bad for people. They've been led to believe it's

1:09:44.840 --> 1:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>bad for them. This is why you can't trust what

1:09:49.560 --> 1:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>these left wing outlet's say, and some of them read

1:09:54.000 --> 1:09:55.920
<v Speaker 1>you last week. I think it was the guy from

1:09:56.000 --> 1:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>vox who was raising this as an issue to be

1:10:00.120 --> 1:10:03.200
<v Speaker 1>out of. See, we fool them. We fool enough of

1:10:03.240 --> 1:10:07.519
<v Speaker 1>those dumb Americans into thinking that they don't have more

1:10:07.560 --> 1:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>money because of Trump's tax cut. When they do, ha

1:10:09.760 --> 1:10:13.880
<v Speaker 1>ha ha, we win. This is how the left thinks

1:10:13.880 --> 1:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>about this. Do they care that that means that people

1:10:18.080 --> 1:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>are you're going to talk about undermining democracy. I mean,

1:10:20.360 --> 1:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>they're just spreading lies that people vote differently than they

1:10:23.000 --> 1:10:26.840
<v Speaker 1>should based upon what is in their interest. It is

1:10:26.840 --> 1:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>in the interest of American households to have more money.

1:10:29.000 --> 1:10:31.120
<v Speaker 1>They have more money now, but they don't think they

1:10:31.120 --> 1:10:33.720
<v Speaker 1>have more money because the Democrats have been lying to

1:10:33.760 --> 1:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>them and saying, oh, look at how your refund is smaller.

1:10:36.560 --> 1:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Don't even get me started about how the tax code

1:10:39.160 --> 1:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>is just a giant monument to corruption, because it is.

1:10:42.400 --> 1:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>It is insider dealing and insider favors, and the tax

1:10:45.400 --> 1:10:48.599
<v Speaker 1>code is an abomination. But that's a conversation. I guess

1:10:48.640 --> 1:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll have to have another day. You have these wings

1:10:52.160 --> 1:10:56.720
<v Speaker 1>AOC and her group on one side. It's outside people. No,

1:10:56.960 --> 1:11:01.839
<v Speaker 1>it's the progressive group. Progressive. I'm a progressive. Yeah. However,

1:11:02.240 --> 1:11:06.479
<v Speaker 1>I do reject socialism as an economic system. If people

1:11:06.680 --> 1:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>have that view, that's their view. That is not the

1:11:09.120 --> 1:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>view of the Democratic Party. WHOA hold the phone, stop

1:11:14.240 --> 1:11:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the presses. The Democrats are not a socialist party. What

1:11:19.040 --> 1:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought. I thought they were all on board for socialism.

1:11:22.360 --> 1:11:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Now they're saying they're not. Oh you mean you mean

1:11:26.000 --> 1:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>that they like to talk this big game about how

1:11:28.040 --> 1:11:33.120
<v Speaker 1>progressive they are, and then when it comes to explaining

1:11:33.120 --> 1:11:34.800
<v Speaker 1>to the American people, that would mean they get a

1:11:34.800 --> 1:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>little shy all of a sudden. Very interesting here. This

1:11:39.439 --> 1:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>is Pelosi, I think, refusing to accept the reality of

1:11:43.720 --> 1:11:45.800
<v Speaker 1>what is happening in her party. I think she's I

1:11:45.800 --> 1:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>think she's wrong. I think the Democratic Party is the

1:11:49.000 --> 1:11:52.559
<v Speaker 1>party of socialism. Now. I think the far left does

1:11:52.640 --> 1:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>control the Democratic Party. I mean she says, that's like

1:11:55.160 --> 1:12:00.599
<v Speaker 1>five people about AOC and to leave and and these

1:12:00.640 --> 1:12:05.439
<v Speaker 1>other very progressive left wing Democrats. Well, where's the agenda going.

1:12:06.320 --> 1:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>What do you hear from Democrats? Do you hear democrats

1:12:08.360 --> 1:12:11.599
<v Speaker 1>talk about how they're gonna fix problems? No, you hear them.

1:12:11.880 --> 1:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>And this is now mainstream talking points from Democrats, things

1:12:15.200 --> 1:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>like the Green New Deal, which is an environmental plan

1:12:19.120 --> 1:12:23.280
<v Speaker 1>for people that are just nuts, for crazy people. The

1:12:23.439 --> 1:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Green New Deal. You're going to rebuild every building to

1:12:26.000 --> 1:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>make it environmentally friendly in the country. This is normal.

1:12:30.080 --> 1:12:34.120
<v Speaker 1>People don't think this way. Rational individuals do not take

1:12:34.160 --> 1:12:38.559
<v Speaker 1>this approach. It just simply does not make any sense. Here.

1:12:38.600 --> 1:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>They are thinking somehow that it does. The Green New

1:12:45.720 --> 1:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Deal is one example of it's just that the demonization

1:12:49.120 --> 1:12:52.439
<v Speaker 1>of wealth. I mean, look at Bernie Sanders. You know, millionaires, abilions.

1:12:52.439 --> 1:12:54.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm a millionaire, but I wrote a book, or at

1:12:54.560 --> 1:12:56.759
<v Speaker 1>least people help me write it. It was ghost written,

1:12:57.040 --> 1:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>and now I'm worth billions of dollars, or at least

1:13:00.360 --> 1:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>those I wish I was with billions. You know, Bernie

1:13:04.160 --> 1:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Sanders talking about all the rich people all the time.

1:13:06.680 --> 1:13:08.479
<v Speaker 1>Notice how a lot of the richest people in the

1:13:08.479 --> 1:13:15.200
<v Speaker 1>country are left wing Democrats. But there's this this ideological

1:13:15.800 --> 1:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>identification that the left has with the poor and the downtrodden,

1:13:19.320 --> 1:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>even if it doesn't manifest itself in any meaningful way. Right,

1:13:23.160 --> 1:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats like to think of themselves as the party

1:13:25.880 --> 1:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>of the poor. Meanwhile, the elites in this country are

1:13:31.360 --> 1:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>overwhelmingly Democrats. I mean, the true coastal enclaves of snobbery

1:13:37.840 --> 1:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and hyper wealth are full of Democrats. They're not full

1:13:40.240 --> 1:13:43.720
<v Speaker 1>of Republicans. I tend to see in my own life

1:13:43.760 --> 1:13:45.519
<v Speaker 1>that Republicans are people who have had to make it

1:13:45.600 --> 1:13:47.479
<v Speaker 1>on their own and are making it on their own

1:13:47.600 --> 1:13:50.760
<v Speaker 1>and have had to work really really hard. Democrats are

1:13:50.760 --> 1:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>people who either got lucky, got it handed to them,

1:13:55.400 --> 1:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>or are bitter about the fact that they have the

1:13:57.880 --> 1:14:01.440
<v Speaker 1>money that they do, which is at range but real phenomenon.

1:14:01.760 --> 1:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>People feel guilty about the success they've had, But demonizing

1:14:05.960 --> 1:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>success is part of what Democrats do. I mean the notion,

1:14:10.240 --> 1:14:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, we talked a bit about taxes today. This

1:14:13.280 --> 1:14:17.400
<v Speaker 1>this notion that you have people who make two hundred

1:14:17.400 --> 1:14:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and fifty thousand dollars a year should be paying the

1:14:19.320 --> 1:14:21.439
<v Speaker 1>same tax rate as somebody who makes ten million dollars

1:14:21.479 --> 1:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>a year. How is that rooted in any fairness? If

1:14:26.360 --> 1:14:27.920
<v Speaker 1>we're going to use the F word there, how is

1:14:27.960 --> 1:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>that root any fairness? But for the Democrats, it's all

1:14:30.960 --> 1:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>about It's all about how it sounds and how it feels.

1:14:33.280 --> 1:14:36.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what the that's that's how they're making these decisions.

1:14:36.240 --> 1:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>That's what's pushing policy forward for them. You know, how

1:14:39.840 --> 1:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>does it How does it make you feel that thing

1:14:41.800 --> 1:14:43.439
<v Speaker 1>that you're saying, How does it? How does it make you?

1:14:44.760 --> 1:14:46.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, how does it make you think about these

1:14:46.560 --> 1:14:51.639
<v Speaker 1>things or think about yourself when it comes to these matters.

1:14:53.520 --> 1:14:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Pelosi can downplay the far left inner Party as much

1:14:56.120 --> 1:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>as she wants, but she knows the power is shifting

1:14:58.080 --> 1:15:02.040
<v Speaker 1>and has shifted towards them. The Democrats now a far

1:15:02.200 --> 1:15:07.000
<v Speaker 1>left party and they're socialists in all but name. And

1:15:07.120 --> 1:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>that is why when you have AOC saying that she

1:15:11.040 --> 1:15:13.640
<v Speaker 1>thinks that Trump should be impeached, I think the Democrats

1:15:13.640 --> 1:15:17.400
<v Speaker 1>are going to have a very hard time not impeaching

1:15:17.400 --> 1:15:20.400
<v Speaker 1>this president, even if it would be and I believe

1:15:20.400 --> 1:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>it would be politically a bad idea for them, But

1:15:24.000 --> 1:15:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that they have to feed this to their

1:15:26.160 --> 1:15:29.519
<v Speaker 1>rabid left wing base. I don't see a way around it.

1:15:30.120 --> 1:15:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Their base will not accept a more measured approach. Their

1:15:33.560 --> 1:15:38.280
<v Speaker 1>base will not accept that there could be another way play. Thirteen.

1:15:38.760 --> 1:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>This is largely a part, largely a question for our leadership.

1:15:43.479 --> 1:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's this is a very grave problem. But

1:15:48.760 --> 1:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>there are so many aspects to this presidency that have

1:15:51.880 --> 1:15:54.280
<v Speaker 1>posed a grave problem. Is it impeachable in your view?

1:15:54.400 --> 1:15:59.519
<v Speaker 1>I think you could reach in a bag and pull

1:16:00.040 --> 1:16:02.479
<v Speaker 1>so many things out that are impeachable of this president.

1:16:02.520 --> 1:16:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I support impeaching this president. Oh that's new, that's the

1:16:08.040 --> 1:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>new approach on the left. There's so much that you

1:16:11.200 --> 1:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>could impeach this president for that you can't even settle

1:16:14.120 --> 1:16:17.800
<v Speaker 1>on one. Give me one WHOA. Well, I can't because

1:16:17.800 --> 1:16:23.600
<v Speaker 1>there's so much Okay, that's an interesting way to approach this,

1:16:23.720 --> 1:16:27.200
<v Speaker 1>isn't it. It's so obvious he should be impeached that

1:16:27.240 --> 1:16:29.439
<v Speaker 1>you can't think of a single reason to impeach him,

1:16:29.439 --> 1:16:32.040
<v Speaker 1>because there are endless reasons to impeach him. It almost

1:16:32.040 --> 1:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>sounds like they would impeach him just because they don't

1:16:35.400 --> 1:16:38.679
<v Speaker 1>like him, doesn't it. Maybe that's what we're really getting

1:16:38.720 --> 1:16:42.439
<v Speaker 1>at here. Maybe that's what is exposed in this whole process,

1:16:42.880 --> 1:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>that it has nothing to do with any specific violations

1:16:47.360 --> 1:16:51.639
<v Speaker 1>of law or even presidential ethics. It's just they hate

1:16:51.640 --> 1:16:55.439
<v Speaker 1>the president. They absolutely hate him. You know. I never

1:16:55.479 --> 1:16:58.559
<v Speaker 1>hated Obama, and I know that maybe it's easy to

1:16:58.560 --> 1:17:00.719
<v Speaker 1>say that now for people, but I didn't. I didn't

1:17:00.720 --> 1:17:04.040
<v Speaker 1>hate Obama. I didn't hate I didn't hate Obama's family,

1:17:04.040 --> 1:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>which I think is really weird when people, because a

1:17:05.920 --> 1:17:09.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of Democrats hate Trump's family, they'll say terrible things

1:17:09.400 --> 1:17:13.519
<v Speaker 1>about Milannia and barn and I never did that. I

1:17:13.560 --> 1:17:16.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't feel the need to trash the man's family just

1:17:16.280 --> 1:17:18.960
<v Speaker 1>because I disagree them. I hated Obama's policies. I didn't

1:17:19.000 --> 1:17:22.280
<v Speaker 1>like what he stood for, ideologically, I didn't like his

1:17:22.360 --> 1:17:26.759
<v Speaker 1>decision making as commander in chief. It wasn't about hating Obama.

1:17:27.040 --> 1:17:30.160
<v Speaker 1>It's a big difference with what you see in the

1:17:30.160 --> 1:17:34.040
<v Speaker 1>anti Trump resistance. They actually hate Trump. They hate him.

1:17:34.840 --> 1:17:39.640
<v Speaker 1>They take a certain self satisfaction and joy from the

1:17:39.720 --> 1:17:42.639
<v Speaker 1>hatred of this man and his family and those around

1:17:42.720 --> 1:17:46.120
<v Speaker 1>him and those who support him, which includes you and me.

1:17:48.320 --> 1:17:52.360
<v Speaker 1>There's a disdain that they cannot hide, a disdain that

1:17:53.240 --> 1:18:00.559
<v Speaker 1>grows over time. And AOC feels this staying not just

1:18:00.600 --> 1:18:02.960
<v Speaker 1>for Trump, but even for those who are associated with

1:18:03.000 --> 1:18:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump in her mind and in the left's mind in

1:18:06.200 --> 1:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>this country, like newly re elected net and Yahoo in

1:18:11.760 --> 1:18:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Israel Play fourteen. I think these are part of conversations

1:18:14.520 --> 1:18:21.640
<v Speaker 1>that we're having in our caucus. But I think what

1:18:21.680 --> 1:18:27.160
<v Speaker 1>we're really seeing is the essense of authoritarianism across the world.

1:18:27.880 --> 1:18:30.439
<v Speaker 1>I think that netun Yahoo is a Trump like figure.

1:18:30.720 --> 1:18:33.879
<v Speaker 1>Would you be in favor of reducing military or economic

1:18:33.960 --> 1:18:35.920
<v Speaker 1>ade to Israel? I mean, I think it's on the table.

1:18:36.200 --> 1:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it's not certainly on the table, and I

1:18:37.800 --> 1:18:44.080
<v Speaker 1>think it's something that can be discussed. Net and Yahoo

1:18:44.160 --> 1:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>is in a Trump like figure that speaks so well

1:18:48.800 --> 1:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>for Trump in so many ways, isn't it Because the

1:18:52.120 --> 1:18:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Israeli people, the left wing in Israel on security was wrong.

1:18:56.439 --> 1:18:59.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what ended up happening. They were wrong, and these

1:18:59.080 --> 1:19:01.719
<v Speaker 1>really people eventually decided that they weren't going to listen

1:19:02.040 --> 1:19:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to those who blamed Israel first when it came to

1:19:05.320 --> 1:19:09.880
<v Speaker 1>suicide bombers or the Palestinian problem of terrorism. And in

1:19:09.920 --> 1:19:12.680
<v Speaker 1>this country with Trump, we have a similar phenomenon. At

1:19:12.760 --> 1:19:15.320
<v Speaker 1>some point we get tired of the lies and the nonsense,

1:19:16.200 --> 1:19:18.679
<v Speaker 1>and that's what has led to the rise of Trump.

1:19:18.720 --> 1:19:22.200
<v Speaker 1>The political class in this country has betrayed the American people,

1:19:22.280 --> 1:19:25.599
<v Speaker 1>lie to the American people far too many times. So

1:19:25.800 --> 1:19:28.080
<v Speaker 1>if Trump is like net Yahoo and net Yahoo is

1:19:28.120 --> 1:19:31.960
<v Speaker 1>like Trump, good for them. Of course, the left just

1:19:32.040 --> 1:19:33.960
<v Speaker 1>views them both through the same prison, which is one

1:19:34.000 --> 1:19:37.280
<v Speaker 1>of disdain and hatred, and they can't help themselves no

1:19:37.320 --> 1:19:44.479
<v Speaker 1>matter what Pelosi says, criminal prosecution for keeping assault weapons.

1:19:44.800 --> 1:19:48.120
<v Speaker 1>What's the punishment for people who don't hand in their guns?

1:19:48.200 --> 1:19:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Do they go to jail? Well, Jake, they would, but

1:19:51.000 --> 1:19:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I also offer an alternative, which would be to keep

1:19:53.160 --> 1:19:55.519
<v Speaker 1>them at a hunting club or a shooting range. These

1:19:55.560 --> 1:19:58.640
<v Speaker 1>weapons are so devastated. I've seen this as a prosecutor

1:19:59.000 --> 1:20:01.400
<v Speaker 1>in the cases that I've prosecuted. We've seen these and

1:20:01.439 --> 1:20:04.639
<v Speaker 1>the school shootings from Sandy Hook to Parkland, and it's

1:20:04.680 --> 1:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>not just the violence that they've caused. It's the fear,

1:20:08.000 --> 1:20:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the immeasurable fear that our children live in because they

1:20:11.040 --> 1:20:12.960
<v Speaker 1>are still on our streets. I want to get rid

1:20:12.960 --> 1:20:15.080
<v Speaker 1>of that fear. I want to do what Australia did

1:20:15.120 --> 1:20:17.519
<v Speaker 1>in New Zealand just recently did. I think this issue

1:20:17.560 --> 1:20:21.439
<v Speaker 1>just needs some bold leadership to do it. It's not

1:20:21.479 --> 1:20:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the violence, Swalwell says, it's the fear. He kind of

1:20:26.960 --> 1:20:30.679
<v Speaker 1>gave up the game there, folks. Here you have one

1:20:30.720 --> 1:20:35.519
<v Speaker 1>of the roughly twenty Democrats who are either expected to

1:20:35.640 --> 1:20:40.560
<v Speaker 1>run or running already for the Democratic presidential nomination. Swalwell

1:20:40.720 --> 1:20:49.400
<v Speaker 1>who covered himself in absolute garbage for two years as

1:20:49.439 --> 1:20:53.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the primary voices on Russia Trump collusion. I

1:20:53.000 --> 1:20:55.599
<v Speaker 1>mean he was, he was out there saying all kinds

1:20:55.640 --> 1:21:02.040
<v Speaker 1>of crazy stuff. Now he's building his presidential run around

1:21:03.840 --> 1:21:06.280
<v Speaker 1>many things, I guess, but the primary one he's known

1:21:06.320 --> 1:21:10.719
<v Speaker 1>for is that he opposes the Second Amendment. He wants

1:21:10.760 --> 1:21:14.840
<v Speaker 1>to take all assault weapons from you. Now, some of

1:21:14.880 --> 1:21:17.120
<v Speaker 1>you are probably already saying back, assault weapons aren't really

1:21:17.160 --> 1:21:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a thing, I know, but that's what he's calling them.

1:21:20.400 --> 1:21:23.840
<v Speaker 1>He wants to take all semi automatic rifles with cosmetic

1:21:23.880 --> 1:21:27.639
<v Speaker 1>features that he finds scary. Because remember, it's not the violence,

1:21:27.640 --> 1:21:29.559
<v Speaker 1>it's the fear, that's what he said, the fear that

1:21:29.600 --> 1:21:37.200
<v Speaker 1>our kids have. Who stokes that fear. Who's responsible for

1:21:37.439 --> 1:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>creating the perception across the country that kids should be

1:21:42.880 --> 1:21:46.080
<v Speaker 1>scared in schools. Children actually safer in school now and

1:21:46.120 --> 1:21:49.800
<v Speaker 1>they were twenty years ago. Numbers don't lie. But who

1:21:49.800 --> 1:21:53.240
<v Speaker 1>creates this perception? Oh, that's right, the media does. So

1:21:53.280 --> 1:21:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the media tells us all to be very very very

1:21:55.920 --> 1:22:00.400
<v Speaker 1>afraid that our children are all at risk. They don't

1:22:00.439 --> 1:22:02.840
<v Speaker 1>want to have armed resource officers or people that might

1:22:02.920 --> 1:22:07.439
<v Speaker 1>be able to do something on the school grounds, or

1:22:07.720 --> 1:22:10.439
<v Speaker 1>at least they scoff at that, which would be a

1:22:10.479 --> 1:22:13.080
<v Speaker 1>more serious proposal. To keep in mind, those school resource

1:22:13.160 --> 1:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>officers are not just there to stop school shootings in

1:22:17.240 --> 1:22:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the sense that there could be a mass shooting. They're

1:22:19.040 --> 1:22:22.439
<v Speaker 1>there in case there are other emergencies on the campus.

1:22:22.439 --> 1:22:24.640
<v Speaker 1>They're there in case there's a fight that turns, you know,

1:22:24.680 --> 1:22:26.719
<v Speaker 1>particularly violent. You know, you might want to have somebody

1:22:26.800 --> 1:22:29.360
<v Speaker 1>there if two kids pull out switchblades, you probably want

1:22:29.400 --> 1:22:33.280
<v Speaker 1>an armed resource officer on the school grounds. But they

1:22:33.280 --> 1:22:36.719
<v Speaker 1>don't like that idea because it feeds into the good

1:22:36.760 --> 1:22:40.479
<v Speaker 1>guy with a gun stops bad guy with a gun narrative.

1:22:40.560 --> 1:22:42.200
<v Speaker 1>That's not the narrative they want to tell. The narrative

1:22:42.240 --> 1:22:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Swalwa wants to tell is that people with assault weapons

1:22:46.840 --> 1:22:48.360
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know what to say. I mean, this

1:22:48.400 --> 1:22:50.519
<v Speaker 1>is what he calls it, right, people with semi automatic

1:22:50.600 --> 1:22:57.920
<v Speaker 1>rifles are posing this big danger to society and people

1:22:57.960 --> 1:23:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that have these particularly, they're going to go after the

1:23:01.560 --> 1:23:03.920
<v Speaker 1>AR fifteen and things like it. That's what they really want.

1:23:04.040 --> 1:23:06.960
<v Speaker 1>That's the most common semi automatic rifle in circulation right

1:23:07.000 --> 1:23:11.480
<v Speaker 1>now that they want to ban under assault assault weapon guidelines,

1:23:12.400 --> 1:23:14.919
<v Speaker 1>and they want to get rid of them because Swawall

1:23:15.000 --> 1:23:18.519
<v Speaker 1>says that that's a danger to society. Now, I would

1:23:18.560 --> 1:23:22.559
<v Speaker 1>have to point out to him that handguns are far

1:23:22.680 --> 1:23:27.240
<v Speaker 1>more dangerous in terms of the lethality. Handguns are what

1:23:27.400 --> 1:23:30.679
<v Speaker 1>really kills people in this country. It's ninety percent plus.

1:23:30.680 --> 1:23:32.759
<v Speaker 1>I think it's ninety might even be more like ninety

1:23:32.800 --> 1:23:37.280
<v Speaker 1>seven percent plus of the homicides that occur on the

1:23:37.320 --> 1:23:41.559
<v Speaker 1>firearm are are with a handgun, might even mean ninety

1:23:41.640 --> 1:23:43.680
<v Speaker 1>nine percent nothing. I mean, it's just almost all of it.

1:23:44.120 --> 1:23:47.559
<v Speaker 1>You have roughly one hundred people, thousands and thousands of

1:23:47.560 --> 1:23:51.280
<v Speaker 1>people a year are shot in this country, and you

1:23:51.400 --> 1:23:53.799
<v Speaker 1>had roughly one hundred people a year are killed by rifles.

1:23:53.800 --> 1:23:57.320
<v Speaker 1>And I think that includes suicides by rifle and a

1:23:57.360 --> 1:24:00.040
<v Speaker 1>long gun shotgun, but it might not include that. It

1:24:00.120 --> 1:24:04.200
<v Speaker 1>might just be those that are shot with those weapons. Yeah,

1:24:04.439 --> 1:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>cut the suicides out. I think that's not that's not

1:24:06.840 --> 1:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>in that statistic. But it's less than one hundred a

1:24:08.760 --> 1:24:12.160
<v Speaker 1>year are killed by rifles or shotguns. Very few people

1:24:12.240 --> 1:24:15.720
<v Speaker 1>are murdered with rifles or shotguns. But once every year

1:24:15.800 --> 1:24:17.680
<v Speaker 1>or two there is an incident where someone takes a

1:24:17.720 --> 1:24:21.080
<v Speaker 1>semi automatic rifle and for the purposes of mass carnage,

1:24:21.400 --> 1:24:23.439
<v Speaker 1>just goes around shooting as many people as they can.

1:24:25.000 --> 1:24:28.719
<v Speaker 1>But as we all know from the Fort Hood shooter,

1:24:28.800 --> 1:24:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Nidal Hassan, two handguns. I might have been carrying three,

1:24:32.479 --> 1:24:37.800
<v Speaker 1>but he used two simultaneously. The Virginia Tech shooter used

1:24:37.840 --> 1:24:43.599
<v Speaker 1>a handgun and I believe a Tech nine and but

1:24:43.680 --> 1:24:45.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, did not have long guns and not having

1:24:45.439 --> 1:24:49.240
<v Speaker 1>a rifle of any kind, so people can engage in

1:24:49.240 --> 1:24:51.360
<v Speaker 1>mass shootings and kill a whole lot of people without

1:24:51.400 --> 1:24:55.000
<v Speaker 1>a rifle. In fact, I think some of you would argue,

1:24:55.080 --> 1:24:57.599
<v Speaker 1>or you could argue, that a person who goes into

1:24:57.680 --> 1:25:00.880
<v Speaker 1>a room, you know, with two pistol with extended clips

1:25:00.920 --> 1:25:02.760
<v Speaker 1>could do every bit as much damage as somebody who

1:25:02.800 --> 1:25:09.120
<v Speaker 1>goes in there with an r But violence isn't really

1:25:09.120 --> 1:25:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the issue. A Swallwell says, fear is the issue. So

1:25:13.200 --> 1:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>they create the fear, and then they suggest the way

1:25:16.040 --> 1:25:20.720
<v Speaker 1>to solve the problem is to ban ownership of these

1:25:20.760 --> 1:25:23.200
<v Speaker 1>weapons and not just ban the new purchase of it,

1:25:24.479 --> 1:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>but to send people to prison if they won't give

1:25:28.120 --> 1:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>up their weapons. Now, that's what you have to remember

1:25:31.080 --> 1:25:33.240
<v Speaker 1>with the gun grabbers is that ultimately they're not just

1:25:33.320 --> 1:25:38.080
<v Speaker 1>about opposing violence. They're about incarcerating you for wanting to

1:25:38.160 --> 1:25:42.040
<v Speaker 1>enjoy your Second Amendment rights. They want to take away

1:25:42.040 --> 1:25:46.040
<v Speaker 1>your freedom, ruin you, perhaps ruin your life, because you

1:25:46.120 --> 1:25:49.479
<v Speaker 1>own a semi automatic rifle that you legally purchase and

1:25:49.520 --> 1:25:51.800
<v Speaker 1>that you are entitled two hundred and second Amendment. There

1:25:51.840 --> 1:25:54.080
<v Speaker 1>are people like Eric Swawell who are Democrats who are

1:25:54.080 --> 1:25:56.120
<v Speaker 1>on the left who think that you should be, oh,

1:25:56.160 --> 1:25:59.960
<v Speaker 1>that's right, separated from your family. That's the family separation

1:26:00.040 --> 1:26:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't bother them. Apparently only the family separation of

1:26:03.000 --> 1:26:05.160
<v Speaker 1>illegals who are scamming our system at the border that

1:26:05.280 --> 1:26:08.840
<v Speaker 1>really worries liberals. You being separated from your family because

1:26:08.920 --> 1:26:13.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to hand over you are lawfully obtained

1:26:13.560 --> 1:26:17.240
<v Speaker 1>semi automatic rifle. They're not gonna lose any sleep over

1:26:17.320 --> 1:26:21.519
<v Speaker 1>that you go to prison, No big deal. And you

1:26:21.560 --> 1:26:23.479
<v Speaker 1>see this with the way gun laws are enforced in

1:26:23.520 --> 1:26:26.880
<v Speaker 1>any of these blue states, where even very minor or

1:26:27.000 --> 1:26:31.439
<v Speaker 1>understandable good faith errors are punished severely. And those you

1:26:31.439 --> 1:26:33.000
<v Speaker 1>who say, buck, there's no such thing. You have to

1:26:33.040 --> 1:26:34.599
<v Speaker 1>know the laws, It's actually not true. There are good

1:26:34.600 --> 1:26:37.400
<v Speaker 1>faith errors that can occur. Otherwise, Explain to me what

1:26:37.479 --> 1:26:41.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody whose error, whose a flight is diverted to New

1:26:41.120 --> 1:26:43.240
<v Speaker 1>York and then they have to get on a different

1:26:43.240 --> 1:26:45.720
<v Speaker 1>flight the next day because of whether they have to

1:26:45.760 --> 1:26:50.280
<v Speaker 1>recheck their handgun and are arrested, arrested for checking in

1:26:50.320 --> 1:26:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the handgun that they were legally transporting, not caring, but

1:26:54.000 --> 1:26:57.439
<v Speaker 1>transporting on an airplane because of whether they get pushed

1:26:57.439 --> 1:27:00.439
<v Speaker 1>in New York City. They gotta then, you know, stay

1:27:00.439 --> 1:27:02.800
<v Speaker 1>in a hotel for the night, they get their firearm

1:27:03.400 --> 1:27:05.160
<v Speaker 1>in their luggage, and then when they go to recheck

1:27:05.160 --> 1:27:06.640
<v Speaker 1>their luggage, New York says, well, you don't have a

1:27:06.640 --> 1:27:10.439
<v Speaker 1>permit for this. You're going to prison. Yeah, that's that's

1:27:10.439 --> 1:27:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't even say that's a good faith error on

1:27:12.120 --> 1:27:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the part of the gun or that's just that's just

1:27:13.920 --> 1:27:16.960
<v Speaker 1>completely wrong what they do to that person. They have

1:27:17.040 --> 1:27:19.800
<v Speaker 1>no choice. This should be like the government saying, well,

1:27:19.880 --> 1:27:22.920
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna pick you up in one state and drive

1:27:22.960 --> 1:27:25.240
<v Speaker 1>you across state lines to where your gun is illegal.

1:27:25.680 --> 1:27:27.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, stinks for you, but we're gonna make you

1:27:27.680 --> 1:27:30.280
<v Speaker 1>do that, and then we're going to arrest you for it. Well,

1:27:30.320 --> 1:27:33.599
<v Speaker 1>but that's not that's not fair, is it. They don't

1:27:33.640 --> 1:27:36.439
<v Speaker 1>care about fair. It's not about the stopping of violence, folks.

1:27:36.479 --> 1:27:38.599
<v Speaker 1>It's about the fear. Remember what he said, It's about

1:27:38.640 --> 1:27:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the fear. They create the fear, they manipulate it, they

1:27:42.240 --> 1:27:45.920
<v Speaker 1>expand upon it. Just one more note here on Squaw,

1:27:46.080 --> 1:27:55.320
<v Speaker 1>who is just deeply unimpressive character that he thinks letting

1:27:55.479 --> 1:28:00.400
<v Speaker 1>individuals keep their rifle at a range would stop stop

1:28:00.439 --> 1:28:04.320
<v Speaker 1>all mass shootings, somebody will just take the rifle from

1:28:04.320 --> 1:28:09.360
<v Speaker 1>that range. This, I mean, it's such a ridiculous idea.

1:28:09.400 --> 1:28:11.880
<v Speaker 1>It's such a ridiculous compromise to have. In the first place.

1:28:12.360 --> 1:28:14.680
<v Speaker 1>You have so many millions of these guns already in circulation.

1:28:14.720 --> 1:28:17.760
<v Speaker 1>All you need is one. One rifle in the hands

1:28:17.760 --> 1:28:20.519
<v Speaker 1>of a bad guy can kill dozens of people and

1:28:20.680 --> 1:28:23.360
<v Speaker 1>has many times in the past. So unless you get

1:28:23.400 --> 1:28:25.400
<v Speaker 1>every single one of them out of circulation, there's always

1:28:25.439 --> 1:28:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the chance that someone's going to misuse one. But he

1:28:28.439 --> 1:28:30.479
<v Speaker 1>thinks that this is the way that we're gonna go

1:28:30.560 --> 1:28:33.280
<v Speaker 1>forward with us. It just makes no sense at all.

1:28:34.479 --> 1:28:38.960
<v Speaker 1>It just makes no sense at all. But he's not

1:28:38.960 --> 1:28:42.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to make sense. He's just trying to placate the

1:28:42.240 --> 1:28:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Left in their insanity on guns. Whenever you turn over

1:28:49.880 --> 1:28:56.599
<v Speaker 1>a rock, you tend to find some slimy Democrat character

1:28:56.680 --> 1:29:01.120
<v Speaker 1>assassination outfit underneath it. These days, it's just amazing how

1:29:01.240 --> 1:29:06.000
<v Speaker 1>much this keeps happening over and over again. I haven't

1:29:06.040 --> 1:29:10.760
<v Speaker 1>covered this yet on the show, but Justice Brett Cavanaugh

1:29:11.920 --> 1:29:19.559
<v Speaker 1>has gotten all kinds of negative attention from groups recently

1:29:19.600 --> 1:29:23.080
<v Speaker 1>that say that he should not be allowed to teach

1:29:23.840 --> 1:29:29.519
<v Speaker 1>a university course through George Mason University, a summer teaching job.

1:29:30.720 --> 1:29:34.760
<v Speaker 1>They want him fired from a summer teaching job at

1:29:34.800 --> 1:29:40.560
<v Speaker 1>George Mason University. Students for Mason Force Survivors is the

1:29:40.600 --> 1:29:44.080
<v Speaker 1>student group that has been saying this has to happen. Now,

1:29:44.520 --> 1:29:46.599
<v Speaker 1>this is wrong on so many levels. First of all,

1:29:46.600 --> 1:29:50.759
<v Speaker 1>if you still believe that Brett Cavanaugh is a sexual

1:29:50.800 --> 1:29:55.120
<v Speaker 1>predator who was part of this high school gang rape crew,

1:29:55.280 --> 1:29:58.680
<v Speaker 1>you're a moron. You're actually a moron. If at this

1:29:58.720 --> 1:30:01.680
<v Speaker 1>point you still believe that you are not an intelligent

1:30:01.760 --> 1:30:08.559
<v Speaker 1>human being, You do not have a particularly astute or

1:30:08.680 --> 1:30:13.719
<v Speaker 1>capable brain. Only an idiot would still believe this. Okay,

1:30:13.800 --> 1:30:17.679
<v Speaker 1>only somebody or someone who is delusional, right, So it's

1:30:17.680 --> 1:30:20.680
<v Speaker 1>not that they don't have a fast firing mind, but

1:30:20.760 --> 1:30:24.680
<v Speaker 1>their mind does not have the judgment that comes from

1:30:24.760 --> 1:30:26.679
<v Speaker 1>being rooted in reality. So you have to be either

1:30:26.720 --> 1:30:32.479
<v Speaker 1>stupid or delusional to think that Brett Kavanaugh was a

1:30:32.520 --> 1:30:35.200
<v Speaker 1>secret rapist all those years, and I mean the women

1:30:35.200 --> 1:30:37.200
<v Speaker 1>who came out against him, it was all such an

1:30:37.200 --> 1:30:40.400
<v Speaker 1>obvious political hit. The third woman was clearly a liar,

1:30:40.439 --> 1:30:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the second woman was also a liar, and the first

1:30:43.840 --> 1:30:46.000
<v Speaker 1>woman the more you thought about it, Yeah, she was

1:30:46.040 --> 1:30:49.400
<v Speaker 1>a liar too. But this group that's supposed to be

1:30:49.560 --> 1:30:54.120
<v Speaker 1>student activist trying to stop Brett Kavanaugh from getting his

1:30:54.240 --> 1:30:58.519
<v Speaker 1>teaching job for the summer through George Mason University, turns

1:30:58.600 --> 1:31:04.040
<v Speaker 1>out that Demand Justice, which is a liberal advocacy group

1:31:04.120 --> 1:31:10.519
<v Speaker 1>that Hillary Clinton's twenty sixteen press secretary Brian Fallon runs,

1:31:11.320 --> 1:31:15.400
<v Speaker 1>is behind the Facebook ad campaign that is going that

1:31:15.560 --> 1:31:19.600
<v Speaker 1>is specifically going to students at George Mason University, and

1:31:19.720 --> 1:31:22.759
<v Speaker 1>they want students to sign a change dot org petition

1:31:22.840 --> 1:31:25.280
<v Speaker 1>to get kavan off fired. This is what libs do.

1:31:25.560 --> 1:31:30.519
<v Speaker 1>You'll notice Conservatives don't rush to get people fired all

1:31:30.560 --> 1:31:33.479
<v Speaker 1>the time. We don't always threaten boycotts. We don't go

1:31:33.560 --> 1:31:38.200
<v Speaker 1>through life like a bunch of spoiled cry babies who

1:31:38.280 --> 1:31:41.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know how to operate, who don't know how to

1:31:41.880 --> 1:31:44.280
<v Speaker 1>function in a world where they don't always get their way.

1:31:44.479 --> 1:31:50.479
<v Speaker 1>Liberals just can't handle things, or they're so lacking in

1:31:50.640 --> 1:31:55.400
<v Speaker 1>honor and integrity that they think any political dispute with

1:31:55.439 --> 1:32:03.160
<v Speaker 1>somebody is license to ruin their life, to ruin their future.

1:32:05.200 --> 1:32:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Anytime a liberal disagrees with somebody, Now, if they're important enough,

1:32:09.560 --> 1:32:12.599
<v Speaker 1>they take it upon themselves to try to get them fired,

1:32:13.000 --> 1:32:17.240
<v Speaker 1>to try to wage individual economic warfare against people. They're

1:32:17.280 --> 1:32:21.559
<v Speaker 1>doing it right now against Kirston Nielsen. They do not

1:32:21.760 --> 1:32:25.200
<v Speaker 1>want Kirston Nielsen to be able to get odd job

1:32:25.439 --> 1:32:27.400
<v Speaker 1>now that she has left the Trump administration. They've been

1:32:27.479 --> 1:32:30.360
<v Speaker 1>very open about this. There are activist groups that are

1:32:30.360 --> 1:32:34.679
<v Speaker 1>sending letters to corporations, the CEOs all over the country saying,

1:32:34.680 --> 1:32:38.759
<v Speaker 1>do not hire Kirston Nilsen when you have a sitting

1:32:38.800 --> 1:32:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court justice who was remember at the absolute peak

1:32:44.760 --> 1:32:48.799
<v Speaker 1>of a legal profession before he became a Supreme Court justice,

1:32:49.840 --> 1:32:55.200
<v Speaker 1>impeccable credentials, unbelievable background in terms of the kinds of

1:32:55.240 --> 1:32:57.760
<v Speaker 1>cases he had worked on as an appellate judge and

1:32:58.360 --> 1:33:01.320
<v Speaker 1>DC circuit. I mean, this guy was in every respect

1:33:01.400 --> 1:33:04.519
<v Speaker 1>the gold standard in the legal profession. My friends who

1:33:04.520 --> 1:33:08.360
<v Speaker 1>are super lawyer nerds were like Cavanaugh from a resume

1:33:08.479 --> 1:33:14.120
<v Speaker 1>perspective is unbeatable, unbeatable, and also from a character perspective,

1:33:14.120 --> 1:33:16.479
<v Speaker 1>when you take into account what he's really like and

1:33:16.600 --> 1:33:19.200
<v Speaker 1>what people who have worked with him say. Not some

1:33:19.320 --> 1:33:22.599
<v Speaker 1>smear campaign by left wing activists who just cry a lot,

1:33:23.840 --> 1:33:28.080
<v Speaker 1>and yet they a former Hillary spokesman, someone with close

1:33:28.120 --> 1:33:32.160
<v Speaker 1>ties at Hillary Clinton is running this campaign to ruin

1:33:32.280 --> 1:33:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Cavanaugh by getting people on college, on this college campus,

1:33:36.960 --> 1:33:39.720
<v Speaker 1>on George Mason University, to say that he should be

1:33:39.760 --> 1:33:41.880
<v Speaker 1>fired from a job that he was offered. I mean,

1:33:42.320 --> 1:33:45.280
<v Speaker 1>these leftists are morons, they really are. You know. Justice

1:33:45.439 --> 1:33:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Scalia came to speak at Amherst, and the entire political

1:33:48.200 --> 1:33:54.360
<v Speaker 1>science department, except for my advisor, blessed Professor Arky's boycott

1:33:54.400 --> 1:33:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the speech. Students refused to go dressed in all black

1:33:58.200 --> 1:34:00.840
<v Speaker 1>war black armbands, turned their backs next to him. I

1:34:00.920 --> 1:34:04.120
<v Speaker 1>don't want to let them know. We were lucky at

1:34:04.160 --> 1:34:06.479
<v Speaker 1>our little sixteen hundred person school to have a sitting

1:34:06.520 --> 1:34:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court justice come and talk to us, stand up

1:34:09.680 --> 1:34:11.639
<v Speaker 1>in our chapel and try to enlighten us a little

1:34:11.640 --> 1:34:15.200
<v Speaker 1>bit about what really happens, what's really going on in jurisprunce.

1:34:15.280 --> 1:34:18.559
<v Speaker 1>We were lucky. Anyone at George Mason University who would

1:34:18.560 --> 1:34:23.320
<v Speaker 1>be able to study with Cavanaugh's lucky. But instead you

1:34:23.400 --> 1:34:28.840
<v Speaker 1>have these leftists who are just complete and utter lons

1:34:28.880 --> 1:34:34.479
<v Speaker 1>and cry babies. And it's wrong and it's vindictive, and

1:34:34.880 --> 1:34:37.519
<v Speaker 1>we need to start fighting back against this. We need

1:34:37.520 --> 1:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to start saying enough is enough. These leftists can't run

1:34:39.920 --> 1:34:42.280
<v Speaker 1>around like little petty terrorists because that's what they are.

1:34:45.560 --> 1:34:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Ain't no party like a Team Buck party, because a

1:34:48.520 --> 1:34:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Team Buck party, don't stop. Yeah, we got bucks turned

1:34:58.120 --> 1:35:16.880
<v Speaker 1>up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Roll call, everybody,

1:35:16.920 --> 1:35:22.360
<v Speaker 1>It's time for the roll call. That's right, Facebook dot com,

1:35:22.400 --> 1:35:26.080
<v Speaker 1>slash Buck Sexton, if you want in on the roll call,

1:35:26.880 --> 1:35:30.519
<v Speaker 1>let's get to it. Thanks, this is Brian. Thanks for

1:35:30.560 --> 1:35:33.240
<v Speaker 1>going back to get some great questions to job Creator

1:35:33.280 --> 1:35:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Network CEO on Rising this morning. You pushed all the

1:35:36.120 --> 1:35:41.040
<v Speaker 1>right tax points. I appreciated Alfredo's honest answers. You and

1:35:41.080 --> 1:35:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Crystal are continue to do a great job on that show.

1:35:43.439 --> 1:35:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it can be trying at times with some

1:35:45.320 --> 1:35:48.200
<v Speaker 1>of those far left guests, but the pros far outweigh

1:35:48.200 --> 1:35:50.439
<v Speaker 1>the cons, one being you get to talk to and

1:35:50.439 --> 1:35:53.280
<v Speaker 1>hopefully influence powerful people on both sides of the aisle

1:35:53.280 --> 1:35:58.160
<v Speaker 1>with new perspectives while keeping you on fresh on daily happenings.

1:35:58.240 --> 1:36:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Keep up the great work, Brian. Well, Brian, that's the

1:36:00.280 --> 1:36:04.240
<v Speaker 1>nicest thing anyone's written about Rising, so really do appreciate it,

1:36:04.320 --> 1:36:06.320
<v Speaker 1>my friend. Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy the show.

1:36:06.840 --> 1:36:11.800
<v Speaker 1>It is an exercise in patient. Sometimes my co host

1:36:11.880 --> 1:36:15.559
<v Speaker 1>is a lovely person and we get along famously, but

1:36:15.680 --> 1:36:18.879
<v Speaker 1>just having a left right conversation, especially with the guests,

1:36:19.520 --> 1:36:25.799
<v Speaker 1>can be a challenge, can be very, very difficult. So

1:36:26.320 --> 1:36:29.160
<v Speaker 1>let's see what we get going on in the future there,

1:36:30.360 --> 1:36:33.080
<v Speaker 1>James writes Buck, I listen to your Friday podcast. I

1:36:33.120 --> 1:36:35.439
<v Speaker 1>want to echo the comment about the podcast ads. They

1:36:35.479 --> 1:36:37.559
<v Speaker 1>also hear them. They're not in line with the freedom hunt.

1:36:37.840 --> 1:36:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I believe it is from your podcast host. They do

1:36:39.960 --> 1:36:42.200
<v Speaker 1>not know who it is. I listen to via Amazon Echo.

1:36:42.280 --> 1:36:45.160
<v Speaker 1>It just pulls the cast McCloud somewhere. Figure you may

1:36:45.200 --> 1:36:48.599
<v Speaker 1>as well let the NSA here you as well. Shields high. Yeah, James,

1:36:48.600 --> 1:36:50.400
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have to see what the hosting we're working

1:36:50.439 --> 1:36:52.240
<v Speaker 1>on this one. I've had a lot of people say it.

1:36:52.240 --> 1:36:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much control we have over the

1:36:54.280 --> 1:36:58.160
<v Speaker 1>podcast ads. It might be what's called programmatic, where there's

1:36:58.200 --> 1:37:00.479
<v Speaker 1>kind of a pre selected run of ads that they do.

1:37:00.560 --> 1:37:03.160
<v Speaker 1>And this then gets beyond my pay grade because it

1:37:03.200 --> 1:37:06.920
<v Speaker 1>turns into revenue generation for the show. So if you

1:37:06.960 --> 1:37:09.120
<v Speaker 1>want those ads to go away, just keep keep buying

1:37:09.160 --> 1:37:12.439
<v Speaker 1>black rifle coffee and donate some money to the Leadership

1:37:12.479 --> 1:37:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Institute and etc. Etc. You know that that'll help us

1:37:16.080 --> 1:37:20.599
<v Speaker 1>get rid of the podcast ads faster. Dwayne all Right,

1:37:21.040 --> 1:37:24.599
<v Speaker 1>was the electronics spying on Trump campaign court ordered as

1:37:24.720 --> 1:37:30.120
<v Speaker 1>COMI says or court approved? Seems two different things. Doubt

1:37:30.160 --> 1:37:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the court's called up Coomi and ordered him to spy

1:37:32.520 --> 1:37:36.040
<v Speaker 1>on the campaign, you know, Duaye I, I appreciate the

1:37:36.080 --> 1:37:38.639
<v Speaker 1>distinction that you're making there. I think it's a meaningful

1:37:38.720 --> 1:37:43.599
<v Speaker 1>one because in the context of fish, this isn't there's

1:37:43.640 --> 1:37:46.800
<v Speaker 1>no opposition. You know, in a normal court of law,

1:37:46.880 --> 1:37:49.040
<v Speaker 1>when you go before a judge, granted for you know,

1:37:49.080 --> 1:37:51.680
<v Speaker 1>a search warrant, certain things, the judge just have to

1:37:51.880 --> 1:37:54.639
<v Speaker 1>has to sign off on it. But in this case,

1:37:54.720 --> 1:37:57.320
<v Speaker 1>it's all done in secret and the judge just signs

1:37:57.320 --> 1:38:02.280
<v Speaker 1>off on it. Right, There's there's a a rubber stamping

1:38:02.560 --> 1:38:06.040
<v Speaker 1>that this process seems to have been become that I

1:38:06.360 --> 1:38:11.880
<v Speaker 1>think is definitely problematic. So we'll have to see my friend.

1:38:12.200 --> 1:38:15.559
<v Speaker 1>But yes, it was really court approved as in the

1:38:15.640 --> 1:38:17.799
<v Speaker 1>court in this instant, and this may be a problem

1:38:17.920 --> 1:38:22.160
<v Speaker 1>with other with other instances, other law enforcement requests as well.

1:38:22.439 --> 1:38:25.160
<v Speaker 1>We have to keep that in mind. But the judge

1:38:25.160 --> 1:38:27.280
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't just say, oh, you want to listen in on

1:38:27.320 --> 1:38:34.160
<v Speaker 1>a presidential campaign, Sure, go for it. Richard, right, buck happy,

1:38:34.160 --> 1:38:36.519
<v Speaker 1>who's your hellos? Talking to your big brother. While I

1:38:36.560 --> 1:38:39.520
<v Speaker 1>was listening to your podcast and you mentioned the Panopticon,

1:38:39.760 --> 1:38:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I went to read more and guess what came up after.

1:38:42.640 --> 1:38:44.519
<v Speaker 1>I've never looked up that work in my life. The

1:38:44.600 --> 1:38:47.719
<v Speaker 1>stuff is creepy. On a total side note, the prison

1:38:47.840 --> 1:38:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and Guardian of the Guardians of the Galaxy, it was

1:38:50.320 --> 1:38:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a Panopticon Shields and mixtapes high Richard. Yeah, Richard, you

1:38:56.040 --> 1:38:58.320
<v Speaker 1>always bring insight to the show with your notes. My friend,

1:38:58.360 --> 1:39:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I do do appreciate eight. Daniel, can you tell me

1:39:04.880 --> 1:39:07.960
<v Speaker 1>more about yourself? My name is Daniel. I recently moved

1:39:08.000 --> 1:39:11.320
<v Speaker 1>to Colorado. I can tell you this Colorado would be

1:39:11.320 --> 1:39:14.400
<v Speaker 1>every bit as progressive and liberal leftist California if it

1:39:14.439 --> 1:39:16.559
<v Speaker 1>were a border state and if more people lived here.

1:39:17.040 --> 1:39:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Some ways it is worse. The red Flag bill is

1:39:19.240 --> 1:39:21.680
<v Speaker 1>one example. Well, Daniel, if you want to know more

1:39:21.680 --> 1:39:23.719
<v Speaker 1>about me, you just got to keep listening to the show,

1:39:23.760 --> 1:39:27.559
<v Speaker 1>because I do talk on this radio show for three

1:39:27.560 --> 1:39:29.639
<v Speaker 1>hours at a time, and it's the probably the best

1:39:29.640 --> 1:39:33.560
<v Speaker 1>single way out there to get to know me. I

1:39:33.880 --> 1:39:35.720
<v Speaker 1>people who know me in real life kind of laugh

1:39:35.800 --> 1:39:39.240
<v Speaker 1>sometimes because I do like to listen a lot. I'm

1:39:39.280 --> 1:39:42.479
<v Speaker 1>not as talkative in person as I am on radio.

1:39:42.520 --> 1:39:44.800
<v Speaker 1>It's probably because I have to speak so much for

1:39:45.000 --> 1:39:48.200
<v Speaker 1>my job. But that would be my recommendation. Just listen

1:39:48.240 --> 1:39:50.280
<v Speaker 1>to this show and tell people about this show. As

1:39:50.280 --> 1:39:54.200
<v Speaker 1>for Colorado, I know that it's become a more purple state.

1:39:54.520 --> 1:39:59.400
<v Speaker 1>There are progressive outposts in it, but they are also

1:39:59.520 --> 1:40:02.080
<v Speaker 1>very concerned ivative parts of Colorado. That's true of many states,

1:40:02.520 --> 1:40:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and even a state like Pennsylvania for example. And you know,

1:40:06.200 --> 1:40:10.840
<v Speaker 1>we're on a wonderful station affiliate out in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

1:40:11.200 --> 1:40:13.799
<v Speaker 1>But if you go to Philly, obviously Philly is blue

1:40:13.800 --> 1:40:17.360
<v Speaker 1>blue blue, Pittsburgh very blue. But other parts of the

1:40:17.360 --> 1:40:19.720
<v Speaker 1>state of Pennsylvania they still respect the Second Amendment in

1:40:19.760 --> 1:40:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the Constitution and take a much more conservative view of things.

1:40:27.080 --> 1:40:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Phil Rights. Hey, Buck Coball is well in the Freedom Hunt.

1:40:29.760 --> 1:40:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I was wondering if you'd have on Scott Horton. He is,

1:40:32.280 --> 1:40:36.960
<v Speaker 1>without a doubt a foreign policy guru on everyone on

1:40:37.000 --> 1:40:42.280
<v Speaker 1>everything rather all right, and also ps love the Beard.

1:40:42.360 --> 1:40:44.559
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Phil the Beard seems to be getting more

1:40:44.600 --> 1:40:48.400
<v Speaker 1>thumbs up than thumbs down. I gotta say some folks

1:40:48.400 --> 1:40:52.480
<v Speaker 1>seem to be more pro Beard than you might have anticipated,

1:40:53.200 --> 1:40:59.559
<v Speaker 1>then I would have anticipated. So yes, indeed, Laurel, right buck,

1:40:59.560 --> 1:41:01.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm a podcast listeners, so I'm usually a day or

1:41:01.520 --> 1:41:04.760
<v Speaker 1>so behind listening to Friday's show. And you're monologue on

1:41:04.880 --> 1:41:07.840
<v Speaker 1>control of the language. Did you notice that in the

1:41:07.880 --> 1:41:10.479
<v Speaker 1>indictment of Julian Assange they referred to Chelsea Manning as

1:41:10.600 --> 1:41:14.680
<v Speaker 1>she Interesting how we are discussing words like illegal immigrants

1:41:14.680 --> 1:41:18.600
<v Speaker 1>being the technical codified terminology for those who are unlawfully

1:41:18.600 --> 1:41:21.800
<v Speaker 1>in the country, but those responsible for writing indictments for

1:41:21.880 --> 1:41:26.680
<v Speaker 1>crimes are including factually incorrect information about co conspirators and witnesses.

1:41:27.439 --> 1:41:29.599
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Osange, I'm not entirely sure where to make

1:41:29.600 --> 1:41:31.760
<v Speaker 1>of it. I feel it's a gray area that, if

1:41:31.760 --> 1:41:34.040
<v Speaker 1>prosecutor and found guilty, could be used in the future

1:41:34.400 --> 1:41:37.000
<v Speaker 1>as case law to go after mainstream media journalists who

1:41:37.000 --> 1:41:41.400
<v Speaker 1>published league material. Can you share or reshare your thoughts, Laurel,

1:41:41.640 --> 1:41:43.760
<v Speaker 1>You make well, You make an excellent point and raise

1:41:43.800 --> 1:41:48.519
<v Speaker 1>an excellent question. As for the terminology, I did notice

1:41:48.560 --> 1:41:50.879
<v Speaker 1>this too, that it is, and it is true across

1:41:51.000 --> 1:41:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I believe now all of the news networks. I believe

1:41:54.600 --> 1:41:56.840
<v Speaker 1>all of them. I could be wrong on that, but

1:41:57.760 --> 1:42:00.919
<v Speaker 1>use the term in their news broadcasts, least not necessarily

1:42:01.000 --> 1:42:06.080
<v Speaker 1>in their commentary. That Chelsea Manning is a she, that

1:42:06.240 --> 1:42:10.320
<v Speaker 1>is a factually incorrect statement. And if we're going to

1:42:10.320 --> 1:42:13.519
<v Speaker 1>start making factually incorrect statements because some people think it

1:42:13.720 --> 1:42:16.400
<v Speaker 1>is a nicer thing to do than I would at

1:42:16.479 --> 1:42:18.960
<v Speaker 1>least want everyone to agree that that is what is

1:42:18.960 --> 1:42:21.120
<v Speaker 1>being done, because I do not want to be part

1:42:21.160 --> 1:42:24.599
<v Speaker 1>of a delusion. Chelsea Manning is not a female. Chelsey

1:42:24.640 --> 1:42:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Manning is male. If you ask me as Chelsea Manning

1:42:27.800 --> 1:42:29.960
<v Speaker 1>male or female, the answer that I will give is

1:42:30.000 --> 1:42:33.639
<v Speaker 1>that Chelsea Manning is male, because that is reality. This

1:42:33.720 --> 1:42:37.519
<v Speaker 1>is not This is not a mutable characteristic. This is

1:42:37.560 --> 1:42:40.679
<v Speaker 1>not something that changes because people would like it to change. No,

1:42:40.800 --> 1:42:45.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, there are lines here, and I did notice it, Laurel,

1:42:45.760 --> 1:42:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you have a keen eye on the usage of she

1:42:49.640 --> 1:42:54.800
<v Speaker 1>instead of he to describe Bradley. I'm sorry. I did

1:42:54.800 --> 1:42:57.080
<v Speaker 1>not mean to dead name there as they say Chelsea

1:42:57.280 --> 1:43:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Manning in the documents. Also, just the notion that what

1:43:02.120 --> 1:43:05.680
<v Speaker 1>just happened for me where I just mixed up the

1:43:05.800 --> 1:43:07.880
<v Speaker 1>names for a second. Now, they may they may claim

1:43:07.880 --> 1:43:11.320
<v Speaker 1>that dead naming is only purposeful, but this is not

1:43:11.400 --> 1:43:14.280
<v Speaker 1>some horrible crime to refer to somebody as their previous name.

1:43:14.720 --> 1:43:17.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, my first name is James. If someone refers

1:43:17.200 --> 1:43:20.120
<v Speaker 1>to me as James, they're not doing something nasty and terrible.

1:43:20.160 --> 1:43:22.320
<v Speaker 1>They're just referring to my first name, which is my

1:43:22.439 --> 1:43:26.559
<v Speaker 1>legal name. So you know, I know that I have

1:43:26.640 --> 1:43:30.519
<v Speaker 1>not had a transgender surgery or anything. So maybe there's

1:43:30.520 --> 1:43:33.920
<v Speaker 1>a different there's a different focus on the usage of

1:43:34.200 --> 1:43:36.720
<v Speaker 1>a name in that regard. But I think you see

1:43:36.760 --> 1:43:40.920
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, Jimmy, You know I get all these

1:43:41.200 --> 1:43:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the podcast listeners. I'm just telling you live radio audience

1:43:44.720 --> 1:43:49.160
<v Speaker 1>across the country, one hundred and twenty five or so stations.

1:43:50.200 --> 1:43:53.599
<v Speaker 1>All the podcast folks are writing in in droves. Where's

1:43:53.640 --> 1:43:56.080
<v Speaker 1>my live radio peeps? You guys don't have Facebook, come

1:43:56.120 --> 1:43:59.080
<v Speaker 1>on now Facebook dot com. Slash buck Sex said, I

1:43:59.080 --> 1:44:01.120
<v Speaker 1>know you're at a computer a smartphone a lot of

1:44:01.160 --> 1:44:03.519
<v Speaker 1>the time, so it's not hard tell the team what

1:44:03.600 --> 1:44:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you think about things. Jimmy writes, love your podcast, Buck

1:44:07.439 --> 1:44:09.200
<v Speaker 1>great to listen to. A voice of reason that is

1:44:09.240 --> 1:44:12.280
<v Speaker 1>from a conservative point of view. Just listen to your

1:44:12.320 --> 1:44:14.680
<v Speaker 1>coverage of the movie Unplanned. Wanted to thank you for

<v Speaker 1>to see the movie Unplanned as soon as I can.

1:44:26.280 --> 1:44:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if it is in the DC

1:44:29.160 --> 1:44:31.840
<v Speaker 1>market right now, I have to check. I would guess

1:44:31.880 --> 1:44:33.719
<v Speaker 1>that it is not playing at any of the theaters

1:44:33.720 --> 1:44:37.840
<v Speaker 1>near me, which I think tells you a lot rich

1:44:39.320 --> 1:44:43.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of buck binging today, enjoyed the Beija imitation. Can

1:44:43.760 --> 1:44:46.599
<v Speaker 1>we get Clapper, McCabe, Struck and Comby in a room

1:44:46.720 --> 1:44:50.040
<v Speaker 1>and listen in Well, thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed

1:44:50.120 --> 1:44:54.400

1:44:54.439 --> 1:44:57.160
<v Speaker 1>how you know how I have to listen to Megan

1:44:57.320 --> 1:45:00.720
<v Speaker 1>McCain and it just hurts my ears, almost like when

1:45:00.760 --> 1:45:05.559
<v Speaker 1>I have to read words and it hurts my eyes. Yeah, Behar,

1:45:06.600 --> 1:45:11.400
<v Speaker 1>multi millionaire TV personality, Joy Behar. Everybody and anybody can

1:45:11.439 --> 1:45:13.880

<v Speaker 1>crem Fresh, Jennifer, love you too. And the answer to

1:45:28.160 --> 1:45:30.639
<v Speaker 1>your question is, if you have crem fresh on hand,

1:45:31.280 --> 1:45:33.479
<v Speaker 1>work it into your scrambled eggs. It adds a little

1:45:33.479 --> 1:45:38.120
<v Speaker 1>something special, little extra penash, pizzazz, a little June se

1:45:38.280 --> 1:45:43.000
