WEBVTT - Yes, The Deep State is Real 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:16.760 You are entering the freedom hunt. Fallout from the momentous 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.439 op ed written anonymously in the pages of The New 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.720 York Times that claims a deep state is alive and well, 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:27.160 though they call it a steady state. We'll talk about 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:29.600 who we think maybe behind this, and also how the 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:34.360 media clearly overplayed its hand and made a strategic error 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.960 at this, Plus the latest on the looning left and 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:41.200 their Democrat senators at the Kavanaugh hearings. That and more 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.559 coming up on The buck Sexton Show. This is the 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.720 buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:54.480 decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.520 You're a great American Again. The buck Sexton Show begins 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:08.560 sectimics analysts in a stunning new off ed in The 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:13.319 New York Times, I named top Trump administration official, excoriates 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:17.160 the president and reveals a resistance block within the Trump 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.880 team trying to protect the country from the commander in chief. 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.880 It is an extraordinary piece in The New York Times 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:28.000 that really backs up Bob Whitford's book. A column in 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.040 The New York Times is extraordinary. I've never seen anything 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.920 like this in modern president presidential history. This is incredibly unusual, 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:42.920 almost unprecedented, incredibly incredibly Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.959 Everybody media running wild with the whole New York Times 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.840 op ed yesterday as we knew they would. And here's 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:54.400 what's fun. Though they've made an error. They have made 0:01:54.400 --> 0:02:01.520 a mistake, a tactical oh a whoop see, because this 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.800 isn't going to result in what they want, which is 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:12.480 a new uh ferocity of anti Trumpism that could turn 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.520 to a and we'll get into the whole twenty ft 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.399 the m and things shortly, but that that's what they're 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:21.440 hoping to do. Now, it's a problem because they have 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:25.280 now affirmed really, or rather it has been affirmed via 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.720 the New York Times his own hand in a sense, 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.400 or at least in your Times has given the platform 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:34.440 to show us all what's going on. But there is 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.919 a deep state. This is real. There are people inside 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.400 of the government, including those who are I would assume 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.959 Republicans who view their role as undermining the President of 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:50.240 the United States, and that somebody could be in a 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:54.840 position of authority in the government working for the president. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:03:01.200 A senior administration official act be so lacking in self 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.960 awareness as to think that the proper way to do 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:10.680 this is to anonymously publish it. Why anonymously? You know 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.920 this this is all let's let's just take a step 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.560 back for a moon. Does anybody really think that the 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.120 person who wrote this, if they attached their name to it, 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:24.040 would not immediately be in a position to be on 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.720 every TV show with a large every new show with 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.040 a large audience in the country, get a book deal 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:37.160 right away, probably sign up for a hundred thousand dollars 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:41.800 a speech on the speaking circuit right away, and be 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.680 heralded by the left as some kind of resistance hero. 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.200 I don't know how anybody can think that what I'm 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.400 saying is not true. What is really the risk? Okay, Yeah, 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.000 if you said there'll be some Trump there'll be some 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.440 Trump supporters that say terrible things, and I'm sure there'll 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.200 be some threats. And but people get threats in this 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:02.960 business in the media all the time. It threats is 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:07.600 that's not new, that's not unusual. And if you're going 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.200 to take this step where now you could be out 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.600 and I have to wonder if the source will in 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.240 fact be outed, why not do so in such a 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:21.200 way that it could actually mean something all it has done, folks, 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.159 is confirmed what we've thought all along, which is that 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.680 there are people in the government who think that they 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:34.080 can work in an undemocratic, unelected fashion to undermine the 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.960 votes of over sixty million Americans, and that they would 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:43.480 do so while keeping their their job is cowardice. And 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.760 I have to tell you a few things that come 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.919 to mind about this. What is I do not believe 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.400 I've seen some of the names that are out there. 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.440 I do not believe this is anybody who is and 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.359 oh my gosh, level person in the White House, I 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.080 do not believe it. And there's already been a whole 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:03.359 slew of people them, you know, Pompeo and uh could 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.560 Low and I mean, I can't even think there's a 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.280 whole bunch. There's like a dozen or so of them 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.960 that have come out and said not me, uh Coats, 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:15.359 uh Mad is um Kelly. They're all saying it's not that, 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.440 and I believe them. Okay, So so it is not 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.160 those individuals, and and it's you know, it's one thing 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.240 to not say anythink it's another thing to actively lie 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.640 about it so that those people are off the list. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.280 I think that this is somebody who the New York 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.520 Times when pushed. This is why they might keep it 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:38.760 secret actually because when pushed on the issue, they could say, 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.479 if it did ever come out, well, yeah, this person 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:46.040 is like involved in you know, is that the NSC 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.960 or is that, I don't know, the Economic Council or something, 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.880 so you know, technically a senior White House person, but 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.320 not anyone with any real power sway. And if it 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:01.000 does turn out that this is a mid level political 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.040 appointee in the New York Times and that gets out, 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.239 the New York Times will have just made an utter 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:11.440 mockery of itself, a complete mockery of itself. Um. And 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.120 you know that the White House people say reporting on 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.880 this as being in disarray, and what do they expect? 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.440 I mean, how would anyone else feel if they were 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.520 trying to run the government and they found out that 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.520 there are people that not only are subverting them, but 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:30.280 then taking a kind of victory lap by subverting them 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.000 publicly without attaching their name to it. The whole thing. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:40.320 It's just stinks, It absolutely stinks. Here is the senior 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.640 counsel of the President, Kelly and Colmay, talking about play 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.159 for sure it matters. There are op eds like that 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:47.680 in the New York Times every day. It's just a 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.520 different byline, or I guess the non byline here. Presidents 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.800 aren't judged by the noise or even the silence that's 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.200 occurring at any one moment or anyone weak by the 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.520 usual critics, and they says the judged by the metrics. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.599 And when I hear people on cabal news say words 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.440 like historic, unprecedented, stunning, that's exactly the way we describe 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.000 the economy. It's exactly why we describe the way he's 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:15.960 chopped down all the overburdened him duplicate, duplicative and unnecessary regulations. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:21.960 This is historically an historic and unprecedented economic boon time. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:27.680 And the Democrats would take that away. The results as 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.360 evidenced in the article are irrefutable by the way, the 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.960 president is doing a great job as president. But then 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:38.400 they take this little extra step which I find particularly annoying, 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.640 of saying the president should not get credit for the 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.320 good things that are happening while he's the president because 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:51.400 it's happening in spite of him. Come on, come on, 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:57.640 that's just that's just that's un serious. It is an 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.560 unserious approach to this. As vice President Pence more initially 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.400 spending the rumor, and the rumors were flying last night. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:04.920 I had people telling me all kinds of stuff. I 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.640 have people reaching out to me, Oh it's this person, 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.040 Oh it's that person. Rumors are flying all over the place. 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.920 But Vice President Pence was a name that was bandied 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.240 about for a short while, and he made it as 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.280 clear as he could that he's got no part of 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:25.960 this play. Well, I think it's a disgrace. The anonymous 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.760 editorial publishing the New York Times represents a new low 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.120 in American journalism, and I think the New York Times 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.800 should be ashamed, And I think whoever wrote this anonymous 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.920 editorial should also be ashamed as well. Anyone who would 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:44.520 write an anonymous editorial, uh snaring this president, who has 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.439 provided extraordinary leadership of this country, should not be working 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.480 for this administration. They ought to do the honorable thing, 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.880 and they ought to resign. Yeah, they had to resign 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.680 and come forward and speak publicly. Nothing that they've said, folks, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.640 has not already really been said by somebody else, which 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.280 also makes me question the veracity of the editorial in 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.480 the first place. This is like a collection of the 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.360 rumors that somebody has heard that. They probably think the 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:12.160 New York Times editorial board wanted them to write. You know, 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.560 it's it's like collecting all the juicy gossip tidbits, putting 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.680 them together and saying, oh, yeah, I heard all that stuff. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:22.200 Here you go. It also shows you that there is 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.959 collusion going on, collusion among the media. They're supposed to 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.600 speak truth to power. That's a laugh, that's a lie. 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.320 They don't do that. But the timing of this is 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:36.680 not a coincidence. That the Bob Woodword book is out 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.120 and excerpts of it are flying around this week, and 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.719 now you have this. This was all coordinated. It was 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:48.400 coordinated for maximum uh commercial effect for Woodward and the 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.480 other news outlets involved at the Times. But it's also 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.840 maximum impact against the president, just like NBC News holding 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.040 the Access Hollywood tape until right before the election. Right 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.360 that this is what they do, and they expect us 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.240 to forget about the obvious bias that's at work here, 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.200 that there are a bunch of leftist hacks doing the 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.679 work of the d n C, acting like they're doing 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.720 the work of the First Amendment in the American people. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.720 We're all sick of it. I'm sick of it. I 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:20.720 know you are too, So the timing years is clearly 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.240 not a coincidence. And just one more note on the 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.600 New York Times. You know, I've actually been a New 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.320 York Times subscriber for a long time. I've been reading 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.199 a New York Times since back when I was in college, 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.840 and I still read it, although not as thoroughly as 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.480 I used to because I gotta read so many other 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.760 news sources for this show every day. But I skinned 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.000 New York Times pretty much every day. I mean, their 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.560 editorial pages are largely garbage, but sometimes I'll find something 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.760 now that I think is interesting. Don't forget, folks, that 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.880 the same New York Times that's now saying, oh you 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:53.680 can trust us. We wouldn't overstate this source was also 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.920 part of that whole media week of worship of John McCain, 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.360 largely because it was a mechanism for bashing Trump. But 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:09.400 The New York Times published a unsourced, anonymous front page 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.439 hit piece on John McCain claiming he had an affair 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:18.679 back when he was running against Barack Obama. Don't forget that. 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.679 Don't allow that to just sort of skip. A front 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:26.080 page hit piece on John McCain claiming he had an 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:30.920 affair as a news story with no named sources. Al Right, 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.000 that's how much the New York Times respected John McCain's 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.600 military service. That's how much the big journals running around 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.200 last week acting like they're so patriotic really cared about 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:45.240 John McCain. Tried to ruin the man's reputation, his family life, 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:49.360 his marital life because they needed Barack Obama to win 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:54.760 so badly. Don't forget that. I don't even get me 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.160 started on the lies for years about the motivation behind 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.520 Gaddy Gifford shooting, which that they were just using that 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.360 as a as a club to beat the n r 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.560 A and and the Second Amendment with and just lies 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.079 and and event eventually New York Times I said, yeah, 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:10.840 we were wrong about that, but they lied about it 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:14.720 for years. So don't you know, I don't want to 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.920 hear from them that we have to trust them and 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.480 that they're honest and honorable and they're just journalists doing 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:25.800 their jobs, because no, they are activists. They are activists. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.720 And then that brings me to what action that they want? 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.400 What action would they like to see here? And they've 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:36.600 made that quite clear. Um, they want to remove this 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.800 president from office. I want to talk to you about 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.080 what I think. Let's just say that process for some 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.520 reason did start. What would that look like, How would 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:50.920 that affect our national political conversation? What would go on 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.920 as a result of this. We'll get into that a 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.160 much more eight four four to eight to five, eight 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:00.200 four four buck Team. We've got a jam pack show 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.000 a lot coming up on the Kavanaugh hearing. That will 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:07.480 be a bit later. Uh. And then I will also 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:12.120 talk to you later on the show about transgender desistation um, 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.240 which is something that I'll have to explain to you, 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:18.160 but I think you'll find particularly interesting. Uh. That will 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:22.000 be worth our time to be sure. Eight four five. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.760 You want to call in, we will be right. Oh, 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.520 dessistance not desistation. Pardon me, I thought I got that 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:31.160 We're wrong. Trans transgender dessistance. That's coming up. We'll be 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:43.160 right back. It lays out the path for removal of 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.000 the president and cases of quote inability, and that's a 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:49.199 term that has never been defined or tested. The idea 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:53.120 that the Amendment would ever be used is really hard 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.960 to contemplate that we're at that point. Why won't Paul 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.239 Ryan and miss McConnell to day Convenea hearing on the 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.000 But I would haul up political pointees from every agency 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.360 and ask who talked about invoking them? And what did 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:12.840 you see the twenty five amendment? Folks? Isn't that so quaint? 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.480 We're back to that discussion all of a sudden. We've 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:19.760 heard it before, and now we are to believe that 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.680 this is just because these people have the best interests 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:26.600 of the nation at heart. There's nothing there's nothing political 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:30.160 about this. It's not bitterness because of Hillary's loss. No, 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.800 they really think that the cabinet and the vice president 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.480 are going to just remove Trump from office based upon 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:43.800 what exactly? What is the basis for this that somebody 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.280 wrote an anonymous editorial saying that the president has some 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.280 weird impulses and he doesn't like his decision making. You know, 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.520 if they were saying that the president thought that pink 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.960 elephants were flying around the Oval office and he was 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.040 talking to what he thought was Jar Jar Binks, but 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.000 it was really just a a potted plant in the 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.160 in the corner of the room, then I would say, 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.640 maybe we gotta have a conversation about the twenty amendment. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.080 They're just saying that they don't like this guy, and 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.880 they don't like his policy. They think he's erratic. That's 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.600 not grounds for removing the office, because of moving the 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:20.400 president from office because he's unfit. Uh, this is supposed 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.200 to be for somebody who's mentally infirm or or has 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.280 a you know, has a stroke, or you know, is 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:29.240 deeply ill or has has real mental illness. Not you know, 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.880 he watches a lot of TV and and likes McDonald's 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.520 cheeseburgers and doesn't give a you know what what the 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.120 media says about him. That that's not what the amendment 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:39.960 is for. But you know, you can always turn to 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.080 the ladies of the view. They give you a sense 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:46.600 of what what Those who are not spending a whole 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.720 lot of time reading think about the situation Play twelve. 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.960 I think, uh, it certainly is a very subversive act. 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.360 I think this person is a patriot. I think this 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.560 person is certainly putting our country first. And I think 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.560 this person it sounds like someone who is very thoughtful, 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:08.680 someone who is well versed in our country's politics. The 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.120 person talks about Senator McCain, um, it sounds like a 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.640 military person to me. Um having discussed this with a 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.360 lot of military people that I have in my family. Um, 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:23.560 but I also think that this person is probably saving 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:29.880 our country, saving our country. Just remember this, when people say, oh, 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.040 you can't come out and can't tell us who he 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.200 or she is because of all the backlash backlash, there 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:39.240 would be adulation, which makes me think that there's really 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:43.400 that this has all been a miscalculation. This will end up, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:49.440 mark my words, this will end up um helping Trump 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.000 more than it hurts him in the long run. Because 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.280 it now now I don't want to hear from anybody, Oh, 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.600 I'm sorry, there's not a deep state. There's a steady state, 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.840 and give me a break, right, I don't want to 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.840 hear that nonsense anymore. You know, I I caught a 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.000 lot of heat. I've been saying all along that there's 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.840 a early on there's a deep state. You know, I've 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.560 talked to you about the Turkish Darren Devlett and the 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.480 the origins of the deep state in the in the 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:15.280 Turkish context, and you know, we've discussed is it fair, 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.680 is it just a cabal or is there really something 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.399 a little bit a little bit more? And um, you know, 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.240 now you have a really a deep state manifesto that's 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.600 been put out there of what they're trying to do. 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.959 And it's not the only one. I mean, even without 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.560 this op ed, I would say, look at what's going 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.880 on at the f Beyond the d o J. There 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:38.480 is clearly a concerted effort by some very powerful senior 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.760 government figures to undermine and in fact destroy the Trump 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.760 administration and to use the positions of their office to 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.400 do it. And this is this is people talking about 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.080 unprecedented when it's not. You know, I've been I've been 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:55.840 hammering that this past week. But this is unprecedented, at 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.199 least in my lifetime. I've never seen anything like this. 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.720 People say, oh, what about the T Party or all. 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.840 I'm not talking about a citizen movement in opposition to 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.479 the president's policies. This is people who are paid by 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:08.760 the federal government, who are in the chain of command. 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:14.080 This is essentially the civil service equivalent of a mutiny 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.280 that we are talking about here, and this were the military, 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:20.199 it would be a mutiny. And people are cheering this on. 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.080 They think this is a good idea. Uh, it's not 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.919 a good idea. It's disgraceful what's being done here. And 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:32.280 it's also really destabilized. I'm talking about undermining institutions. The 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:37.159 president can't trust senior White House officials to enact his 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:41.720 policies and to obey his orders. That's a big problem. 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.080 There's also word for that, it's insubordination, and you can 0:18:45.080 --> 0:19:00.480 get fired for it, and you should. He is holding 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:05.920 the line for America buck sex in his back. This 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:11.520 is a genuine constitutional crisis. This is a moment where, uh, 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.600 it's a crisis of conscience for people in the United 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:17.119 States Senate on the other side of the aisle, where 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:21.080 they have been willing to be more protective of their chairmanships, 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.320 of their party, of their president than they have of 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:30.080 the Constitution and the institutions themselves. Oh yeah, he's running. 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:36.480 Everybody remember him, John Kerry, a guy who miraculously married, 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.959 very wealthy twice fund his political career. It's it's amazing 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:44.320 how that happens. But he is gonna run again. I 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:46.840 think he's in there now. When I said gonna run again, 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.000 he's trying to position himself for a run. But when 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.040 I think it's fashion is he calls us a constitutional 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:55.760 crisis because that sounds momentous. Right to call it a 0:19:55.800 --> 0:20:00.679 constitutional crisis is to put a lot of wom behind 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.400 this thing, right, it's to make it seem like it's 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:08.000 just full of gravity and gravitas and seriousness. Darn it. 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:11.400 But it's a constitutional crisis in a way that John 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.920 Kerry does not either want to admit or understand, and 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:19.399 that is that the President of the United States is 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.880 being undermined by his own government because they say so, 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:27.480 and they're doing it surreptitiously and quietly. That's not democratic, 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:34.120 that's not constitutional. That subversion And as much as they 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.280 claim that they're doing it in the best interests of 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:40.200 the American people, the American people have not empowered them 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:45.040 to make that decision. They are assuming that they are 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:48.080 senior White House officials were talking about here in a 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:52.879 role to help the president and help his agenda. He 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:57.960 is the one who is given authority under the Constitution 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:02.119 because of the votes of the American people. They do 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:05.320 not You know that this doesn't doesn't transfer over to them. 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:07.200 You know that this is what maybe they need a 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:10.320 little refresher course in basic civics. They're not a part 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:13.919 of this as well. They're supposed to be helpful. I 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:18.359 don't want to know what they're discretion they think should 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:21.200 lead them to do. I just want them to execute 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.040 or leave. I'm not saying they have to do it, folks. 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:25.479 And this is what people say, Oh, well, what if 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:27.919 Trump was you know, he was ordering us to an 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:31.400 attack of country and you know martial law, and yeah, 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.359 then you resign, you come forward, you say that the 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.480 president Trump is is uh out a line needs to 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:40.360 be removed from office. Here's why. That's the mechanism. There 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:43.480 are things in place. You see. What you keep having 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:46.600 is democrats abandoning the city. They talk about how the 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.240 system is being undermined, and then the moment that the 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:51.960 system doesn't work in their favor, they're willing to abandon it, 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:57.760 destroy it, undermine it themselves. It's all about expedients. It's 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:00.199 all about what gives them what they want in the 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.200 moment that they wanted. There's no principle for them. There's 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:08.119 just a pursuit of power. And that's why I find 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:13.080 this whole situation with the op edge so frustrating, kind 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:17.040 of amusing in a way, but also disheartening. But John 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:22.960 Carry continues on Place seventeen. It's really serious. It's uh, 0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:25.960 it's foreboding in so many different ways, because it really 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:29.720 means I mean, have you have somebody stealing something off 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:33.640 the president's desk in order to prevent him from making decision. 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.680 You have him ordering generals to do something, and within 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:39.000 a moment of them being ordered, they turned to their 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:41.600 fellow Jessey, we're not doing that. What it really means 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.760 is we we don't have a president, and we have 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:51.000 a president who's there, but he is not capable of 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:55.240 doing the job or living up to the responsibilities. We 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:59.080 don't have a president. Obama's former secretary of State says, 0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:03.760 I think that's de gross. I think that undermines the 0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:09.240 commander in chief, don't you. That's reckless. That goes way 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:14.520 beyond disagreeing on policy or expressing one's First Amendment rights 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:21.040 as a citizen. To criticize government actions or decisions, that's 0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:27.880 something else, folks. That's really meant to destabilize, to delegitimize. 0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:33.000 That's the primary purpose, to find a way to give 0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:36.600 some justification to the thought process that I remember from 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:41.359 the chance, from the marches, from the screaming, yelling, banshee 0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:44.560 like howls on the streets of Manhattan at the very 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:48.560 beginning of the Trump presidency from the hashtag resistance yelling 0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:55.159 not my president, not my president. I remember that, and 0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:57.919 now they think they can make that a reality. And 0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:01.520 John Kerry is giving the some degree of intellectual cover 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:04.680 they think by also saying, we don't have a president 0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:06.399 right now. No, we do have a president. It's just 0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:09.919 one that they don't like. It's one that they disapprove of. 0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:12.800 You know, I did not think that Barack Obama was 0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:15.040 good at his job. I did not think he was 0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:20.760 anywhere near as qualified or as impressive as any of 0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:23.919 the Democrats that I knew. But I never thought he 0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.720 wasn't actually the president. I just learned to live in 0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:30.639 the reality of, yeah, he's the president. Let's see how 0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:34.480 the next election goes. That's the normal adult response to this. 0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:38.320 I can't help but look at how here we are again, 0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:43.440
