1 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The forever coup is 2 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: upon us. Rashida to leave of Congress, wants to arrest people. 3 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: The ruckus over Syria continues. Where's Hunter Biden? And Third 4 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: world blackouts in California. We'll talk about that and much 5 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. This is 6 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is 7 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no 8 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: mistake America. You're a great American Again the Buck Sexton 9 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: Show begins. He's a great guy. Now, Welcome to the 10 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: Buck Secton Show. Everybody. Happy Columbus Day to all of you, 11 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: to all with no just kidding. You're not listening to 12 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: at the night some of you at least aren't. I 13 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: would say that Columbus Day is not one that we 14 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: should just give up to the other side. We shouldn't 15 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: accept what the liberals are saying, the leftists are saying. Now. 16 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: I believe there's the movement to foot to call it 17 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: Indigenous People's Day. I would prefer that we just celebrate 18 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: the holiday as it was initially intended, which is the 19 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: discovery of America by the European world, and as we 20 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: know there's a lot of history that's very messy, that's 21 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: violent and bad and oppressive, and that's true of all 22 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: human beings all over the world, for all of history. 23 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: So that's nothing particularly new or distinct about Columbus Day. 24 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: I wonder if there'll be any protests here at Columbus Circle. 25 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: Who would have thought years ago that that would be 26 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: a place a lightning rod for the social justice warriors. 27 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: The tearing down of history as we have known it 28 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: and the replacement of it with narratives all focused on oppression, 29 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: and as I've explained to you in different shows at 30 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: different times, what you won't hear are the leftists who 31 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: want to argue for the replacement of Columbus Day with 32 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: Indigenous People's Day. You won't hear a discussion about, well, okay, 33 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: can we discuss the oppression of Native peoples in the 34 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: new what we call the New World by other native 35 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: peoples that the Aztec Empire, for example, which Cortez, through 36 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: all kinds of scheming and machinations, was able to overturn 37 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: with a few hundred men. The Aztec Empire was built 38 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: on slavery and oppression and mass murder, human sacrifice. Do 39 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: we talk about anything. No, that's just that's all fine, 40 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: I guess, because you know those were the traditions of 41 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: the time. You won't hear much discussion of that. All 42 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: those things are true. By the way. You also won't 43 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: hear much about the Comanche, for example, and what is 44 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: now the Midwestern United States and the Great Plains area, 45 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: and their willingness to sometimes exterminate neighboring tribes and take 46 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: all their stuff and all their land. You won't hear 47 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: much about that. You know. This is this is where 48 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: if we're going to do the history, let's really do 49 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: the history. If we're going to have a discussion about 50 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: what used to happen in the world, then let's really 51 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: have it, and not just pick and choose things that 52 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: are favorable to a leftist narrative of European colonialism and 53 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: depression and never talking about any of the good stuff either. 54 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: This is like when people complain about America, and I 55 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: always want to say, well, maybe also thank us for computers, 56 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: most of the major technological advancements of the last seventy 57 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: five years or so, and also the greatest period of 58 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: human prosperity and relative peace in not just the modern world. 59 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: If you're going to argue simply for material prosperity. More 60 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: people lifted out of poverty in the last fifty years 61 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: than in all of human history before that because of 62 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: a system that America is the leading force for capitalism. Baby, 63 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: that's right, good things, good things. How do we go 64 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: from Columbus to capitalism? That's just the magic of the 65 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. That's what we do here. But maybe 66 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: I'll go back to Columbus later on. Maybe we'll talk. 67 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: It would be fun to do an entire series on 68 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: Cortez and the Conquistadors. I've mentioned this before. The history 69 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: shows of the great battles of Cross and Crescent, like 70 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: Lepanto and Malta and others. Will return to that in 71 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: the Shields High series we do here on the show 72 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: or as a part of the show, but I also 73 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: want to do a whole series and in in the Conquisators. 74 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: Amazing stuff, so much that's missed in history class too. 75 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: How many how many Americans even know that? I would 76 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: mention the planes what are known as the planes Native 77 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: Americans formerly when I was in high school, for its 78 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: planes Indians, But that's of course not the term, not 79 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: the preferred nomenclature anymore, that they got horses from the 80 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: Spanish conquistadors, that they did not have domesticated horses in 81 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: the New World. And in fact, one of the great 82 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: advance manages that Cortez and other Spanish conki sat Or 83 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: in particular, had were the horses that they brought with 84 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: them as part of that military conquest. Steel gunpowder horses. 85 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: You have that the other side doesn't. It's usually gonna 86 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: be a better day for you than for them. But 87 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: now shall we turn to the news of the day. 88 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: My friends. Oh, we have so much to do, and, 89 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: as is often the case, so little time to get 90 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: through it. The best single thing that I read all weekend. 91 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time of the weekend reading, 92 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: as I tend to do, as I'm sure many of 93 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: you do. But the best thing that I read all 94 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: weekend was from Matt Taiebe. Now, mister Tayibi is a 95 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: man of the left. I wouldn't say that I could 96 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: speak to exactly how he would self describe or what 97 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: would be the proper designation for him on the left 98 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: man of the left, but does engage in what you 99 00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: could call traditional journalism. Any he finds out and presents 100 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: information that is new to people. And I always have 101 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: a respect for that. And I don't mean leaks from 102 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: powerful people in one political party in government for example, 103 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: and then the pretense that that is the real journalism. 104 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: And all these people who are you know, CNN, White 105 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: House Correspondence, they're doing such hard work. No, they're just 106 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: taking gossip that's handed to them by officials and then 107 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: printing news stories based on it. They're not digging and finding. 108 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: And I mean, in general, it's fun to speak in 109 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: generalities because at least then you can always get out 110 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: of it when someone challenges you. But the truth is 111 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: the Taiebe sometimes does very very good work. He's best known, 112 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: I think, or at least for me, perhaps he's best 113 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: known for being the guy who popularized the term face 114 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: sucking vampire squid in reference to the Goldman Sachs investment bank. 115 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: And what happened after the financial financial what do we 116 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: call it, the Great Recession, the financial downturn of two 117 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: thousand and nine, and how Goldman Sachs was bailed out 118 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: one hundred cents on the dollar, all of its counterparty 119 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: risk taken up by the government one hundred cents on 120 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: the dollar. No haircut for Goldman huh Lehman went Dunzo 121 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: bear Stearns rap rap. But Goldman Sachs didn't lose anything. 122 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: In fact, made a ton of money, had some of 123 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: its best years after the collapse. It's good to be 124 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: very tied in with the federal government. A very bad 125 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: economic lesson, a very bad financial lesson for this country, unfortunately. 126 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: But perhaps we'll return to that another day. But he 127 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: wrote a piece about the Taiebi wrote a piece in 128 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: Rolling Stone called We're in a permanent coup. Americans might 129 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: soon wish they had just waited their way out of 130 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: the Trump era. Yeah, you don't say. He goes into 131 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: some of the time that he had spent, particularly in 132 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union, as a journalist as a reporter there, 133 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: and how there were just different periods and different moments 134 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: when a one group of military general's advisors would say, 135 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: all right, we're just gonna seize We're just gonna seize 136 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: power in Moscow. And then it was famously at one 137 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: point a race between between Gorbachoff and some of them 138 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yeltsin rather whatever one of those Russian guys. 139 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: The effort to oh no, it was I'm sorry. It 140 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: was first Gorbachof, and then later there was an effort 141 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: against the Yeltson different coups. They placed Mikhail Gorbachof under 142 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: arrest an attempt to seize Moscow. In nineteen ninety one, 143 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: Boris Yeltson's crew quote drove to the Russian White House 144 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: in ordinary cars, beating KGB coup plotters who were trying 145 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: to reach this seat of Russian government back in nineteen 146 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: ninety one in armored vehicles. A key moment came when 147 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: one of Yeltsen's men, Alexander Rutskoy, who two years later 148 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: would himself lead a coup against the Yeltson, prevailed upon 149 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: a major in a tank unit to defy KGB orders 150 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: and turn on the criminals. We have long been spared 151 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: this madness in America, Taiebe writes. Our head counting ceremony 152 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: was election day. We did it every four years in 153 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: the Trump era. That's all over. You see, this is 154 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: the necessary context, This is the necessary backstory for everything 155 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: that you're seeing now about the Ukraine phone call and 156 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: Russia collusion and Trump paying off Stormy Daniels and camping 157 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: all of us. This is the forever coup. This is 158 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: the effort by the establishment in politics, in media, and yes, 159 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: within the federal bureaucracy itself, which is now the de 160 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: facto fourth branch of our government. This is their effort 161 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: to undo the twenty sixteen election, but also, and in 162 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: many ways more importantly, to prevent this from ever happening again. 163 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: This was not supposed to happen. They did not think 164 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: it would happen. Remember, back in twenty sixteen, the belief 165 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: of the New York Times and many others going into 166 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: election day was over ninety percent certainty that Hillary Clinton Hello, 167 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: would be President of the United States. That was a 168 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: charming Hillary hillo for you, by the way, in case 169 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: you were wondering, In case you missed her, My Elizabeth 170 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: Warren is getting to the point now where I might 171 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: just start doing Elizabeth Warren for you on the air 172 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: and see if you can tell the difference. We're getting 173 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: to that level. But they thought Hillary was going to win. 174 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: There were certain she was going to win, and then 175 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: when she didn't, they had a mental breakdown, a mass 176 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: mental breakdown, And ever since then they've been trying to 177 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: find some way to engineer, some way to end the 178 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: Trump president presidency prevent a second term and also prevent 179 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: another interloper usurper. Not an interloper because he cheated in 180 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: the election, although they've tried that routine, because he's not 181 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: supposed to be the president. They're not okay with this. 182 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: And what's even more frightening to the deep state and 183 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: the political establishment, which does include no small share of Republicans, 184 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: by the way, what's even more frightening to them is 185 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: that President Trump has done, despite what you're hearing right now, 186 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: a good job. The economy is very strong. We have 187 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: not been hit with a mass casualty international terrorist attack. 188 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: We are not escalating a war. We're not taking dozens 189 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: or hundreds of US casualties a month. We're not starting 190 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: a war. We are not bowing down in some cases 191 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: previously as we saw literally bowing as the president was 192 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: fond of doing when it was President Obama, bowing to 193 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: foreign leaders all over the world. We are pursuing the 194 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: interests of the American people and doing so unapologetically. And 195 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: the results are in, and the results do not leave 196 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: enough leeway for the deep state on the left to 197 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: argue that they would do or at least to convince 198 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: I should say, they'll certainly argue to convince people that 199 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: they would do a better job. Really, you believe that 200 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders would do a better job as president of 201 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: the United States? Who can really think that and be 202 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: serious afterwards? That Joe Biden, Oh, we'll get to Biden 203 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: and Hunter Biden and that whole mess the media's own goal, 204 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: as they would say in soccer or football. If you 205 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: don't like callings, you know, it's soccer. But they scored 206 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,599 Speaker 1: on themselves. They didn't mean to by bringing up the 207 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: whole Ukraine situation, because what Hunter Biden did is wrong, 208 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: is gross. Maybe it's not illegal, but it's clearly influenced 209 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: peddling and influence selling. And anybody says otherwise as a 210 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: liar or isn't paying attention. But the forever coup is, or, 211 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: as Taiebi writes about it, the permanent coup is upon us. 212 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: They will not relent, They will not accept this circumstance. 213 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: And even if Trump wins a second term, by the way, 214 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: they will continue to try and ouced him from office. 215 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: They believe some of these talking points you hear that 216 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: he is a clear and present danger to our democracy, 217 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: a republic, but they like to call it a democracy. 218 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: They believe that anything that they have to do, anything 219 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: that would work against this president, is well well within 220 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: their justification. They'll just find a way to say, sure, 221 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: if it hurts Trump, if it helps us, we'll do it. 222 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: Why aren't they Why aren't the leftist, the Democrats, the Commyists, 223 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: the Brennanists having an armored column on the way to 224 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: the White Oh, because it wouldn't work. You have to 225 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: start ask yourself the question, though, if they thought it 226 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: would work, would they do it? How far are we 227 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: from being in a country where when you have the 228 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: former heads of the intelligence community under the previous administration 229 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: saying the current president is a traitor, as they have 230 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: done many times, the current government is run by a 231 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: pawn of the Russians who has sold us out. How 232 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: far are we from some members of the deep state, 233 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: at least considering what we saw in the Soviet Union 234 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: of the nineteen nineties, and I've seen in so many 235 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: other countries, an actual forcible seizure of power. Now you 236 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: may say, Buck, that's insane, that's crazy, that would never 237 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: happen to that. I would point out that Congresswoman Rashida Talib, 238 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: who is a radical, has openly discussed Congress considering arresting 239 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: people who do not arresting White House employees or former 240 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: White House employees who do not show up to be 241 00:14:52,840 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: a part of Congress's impeachment inquiry charade. That's right, seizing people, 242 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: taking away their freedom, arresting them because they will not 243 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: do this. Maniacal left wing Democrat majority in Congress is bidding. 244 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: Once you start arresting some people because they do what 245 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: the White House says and not what the Congress says, 246 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: where does that stop and start? What are the outer 247 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: boundaries of that? How far can that go? And how 248 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: far are we from a country where people not just 249 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: in secret plot to overturn a presidency, but decide the 250 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: moment is upon us getting the cars race to the 251 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: White House, We're going to seize power. How far away 252 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: is that really from the thoughts of some of these leftists. 253 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to ask. I think it's fair 254 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: to wonder. It's definitely getting closer. I just want to 255 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: cut through it all and keep it very real with 256 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: people about what we're up against. We have homophobic psychopaths 257 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: running the United States today, that's the reality. We have 258 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: a Secretary of State, as was mentioned, that believes that 259 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: gay people are sinners based on who they are. If 260 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: Mike Pence, God bless him, ended up in the White House, 261 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: sitting behind that desk in the Oval Office, he would 262 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: have us all in concentration camps hoping to prey away 263 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: the gay That's what we're actually up against. You know, 264 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: I've talked about the gay agenda, and when I was 265 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: growing up, people were terrified of me pushing this gay agenda. Listen, 266 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: the gay agenda is to survive until tomorrow. And you 267 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: ask LGBT people of color, you ask trans women of 268 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: color what that's like. And they're not so much concerned 269 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: about what Joy Reid might have said twelve years ago 270 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: on a blog that is evolved now into really an 271 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: alliance with us. They're worried about what's happening right now 272 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: on Pennsylvania Avenue, and they're wondering why the media didn't 273 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: rain down a firestorm on these people, these homophobic psychopaths, 274 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: who are derailing the conversation and turning back the clock 275 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: on everything we've worked so hard on. So I guess 276 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm just here today to implore the viewers to please, 277 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: I can't I can't handle it. Stay focused on isn't 278 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: that amazing? That that was all played on national television 279 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: on cable news on MSNBC a guest without any pushback 280 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: whatsoever from the host, without any Hey, maybe that's a 281 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: little that this White House is homophobic psychopaths who want 282 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: to put people in concentration camps. And then they turn 283 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: around and want to lecture us. Then the leftists want 284 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: to say Trump's rhetoric is out of control, Trump's rhetoric 285 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: could lead to violence. Well, there's this there's this person 286 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: who is being given a major platform on the premier 287 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: leftist network MSNBC, Sorry, CNN. They're saying that the president 288 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: is a psychopath who wants to put people in concentration camps. 289 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: Does that seem extreme to anyone? What does the left 290 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: say these days? That doesn't feel like it's extreme. No, 291 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: The Trump rallies are his strong supporters. I mean, lock 292 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: her up, I mean all the things he says, all 293 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: the vicious, mean things he says. They love it. There 294 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: are these people in this country. They're good Americans. Otherwise 295 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: they'll probably give you the shirt off their back. They'll 296 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: help you if you need. But they have this fixation. 297 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: They want to return this country to the white Christian 298 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: country that they believe it should be again. They don't 299 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: want the diversity, and they follow him for her this, 300 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: But they're not the country. We are diverse people. We 301 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 1: are good and strong because of that, and we're going 302 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: to come back to that, I assure you. Oh yes, 303 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: let's hear from Sam and Donaldson, who is not very smart, 304 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: who is not very impressive, but existed in a media 305 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: environment where if you're the guy with the hairpiece on 306 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: television getting to sound like this, the whole country how 307 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: to listen to you because you were a news anchor. 308 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: They love to do this. They love to bring I 309 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: think that I was on CNN and I'm just playing 310 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: this up. We're going to get a whole old, the 311 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: whole range of left wing crazy here as this forever 312 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: coup continues on anything to stop Trump. On the one hand, 313 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: they'll say, well, but Trump is so mean. I know 314 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: there was some video that was shown at a conference 315 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: that has all this violence in it, another saying Trump 316 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: isn't he? Trump had nothing to do with it. But 317 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna say Trump's inspiring violence. And yet The things 318 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: that are said about this president on a daily basis 319 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: are insane. These people are nuts, I guarantee you. I mean, 320 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: I've I've interviewed Mike Pence, I've interviewed his daughter. I mean, 321 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: I've met I've met friends with people on his staff. 322 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: Mike Pence is like the last person on earth who 323 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: would put anybody in a concentration camp. All right, He's 324 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: an incredibly nice, decent, considerate human being, and anyone who 325 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: knows him knows that I'm talking about putting people in 326 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: concentration camps. But how crazy is that rhetoric compared to 327 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: say what AOC and other de amocrats would say about 328 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: what's going on, what was going on in our southern 329 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: border with the detainment of people who were coming into 330 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: the country illegally, concentration camps. I'll never forget when the 331 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: former governor of Michigan, when I was in the Bill 332 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: mar Show, I was trying to have a discussion about 333 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: how Democrats are now for open borders, which is insane, 334 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: but they basically are. They do not believe in any 335 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: real enforcement of immigration laws. And Jennifer Graholm turned on 336 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: HBO in front of millions of people watching and yelled 337 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: kids in cages, kids in cages, as though that was 338 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: a refutation of what I was saying, which is that 339 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is absolutely insane on the issue immigration. Now, 340 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: it's indefensible because they won't even defend what they want. 341 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: They'll just say it, and when you push them on it, 342 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: they'll yell kids in cages in your face. It's like 343 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: arguing with toddlers a lot of the time. Then, as 344 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: we know, Democrats will use children for the purposes of 345 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: advancing arguments that are intellectually indefensible, but emotionally the residence 346 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: is what they're looking for. That above and beyond anything 347 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: else we were hearing there from Sam Donaldson, just the 348 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: very kind of political analysis you would expect from somebody 349 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: who's not used to having to know anything and not 350 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: used to being challenged. Oh White House correspondent for CBS 351 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: or ABC or whoever he was. Trump supporters want or 352 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: quote return this country to the white Christian country they 353 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: believe it should be again. They don't want the diversity. 354 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: This is just a repeat of Okay, so everyone who 355 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: supports Trump is racist, right, That's what they always say, 356 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: And then they wonder why we won't listen to them 357 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: when they then want to lecture us on the best 358 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: way to tackle climate change or what we're gonna do 359 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: with healthcare, because they're not willing to make real arguments 360 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: without always attacking the basic decency and morality of the 361 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: other side. Sam Donaldson, you know CNN actually will have 362 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: on I love this. They'll have on Dan rather sometimes 363 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: to talk about journalism. A man who exists from an 364 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: era in which if he were not the luckiest man imaginable. 365 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy was being beamed into the homes 366 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: of millions of Americans who really had no There are 367 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: only three choices when this guy was making his career. 368 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: It's all you needed, were the execit CBS to be like, well, 369 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: this guy looks and sounds the part. He's a newsman. 370 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: These guys are not impressive people. But CNN still clinging 371 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: to this fiction that journalism used to be this great 372 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: and noble endeavor and it's been corrupted. No, now we 373 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: just know who these people were, and thanks to social 374 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: media in particular, we have an understanding of just how 375 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: partisan they are, what kind of activists they really are. 376 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: Sean Donaldson, Oh, this is what I think about Republicans 377 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: Trump supporters, Thanks buddy, but oh we want a little 378 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: more crazy. Maybe this is to remember, these are the 379 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: people that are telling you there's not an effort at 380 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: a coup. This isn't where they're not going to do 381 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: anything to get rid of Trump before the action can 382 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: even happen. And oh, it's Trump's rhetoric that's so troubling. 383 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: Here's the former national security advisor and oh, we're going 384 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: to get into Syria. Don't worry, We're going to talk 385 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: about any Obama illustration's foreign policy, which now a lot 386 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: of people in the media are conveniently forgetting about. But 387 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: here's former a former national security advisor to Obama, Susan Rice, 388 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: just on how terrible Trump is. It's appalling, and it's 389 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: so much worse than I imagined. Every day a lie, 390 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 1: a disparagement, and a trashing of the institutions and the 391 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: norms that we all believe have held us together. And 392 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: what's so extraordinary is it's all about him. I mean, 393 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: we talk about foreign policy and he says his doctrine 394 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: is America First. What I think we're seeing is it's 395 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: really me first. And that's how he is governing. Everything 396 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: is about him and so the notion that you could 397 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: attack a whistleblower with legal protections in our system, which 398 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: is set up to enable transparency and to guard against 399 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: precisely the kinds of abuses he's perpetrating, and to assume 400 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: that that's therefore he's called it worse than that, he's 401 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: called it close to being a spy, treason. In effect, 402 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: he's not just the whistleblower, but the people who the 403 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: whistleblower talked to in the White House. So he is 404 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: arrogating to himself the the institutions of the state is yeah, 405 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: I am the state, right, That's what we're seeing now. 406 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: It's that that is not an exaggeration. That's how serious 407 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: it is. Yes, yes, that's it's not an exaggeration. That's 408 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: say what I am the state loud the fourteen famously said, 409 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: and Trump is, oh, he's exactly the same. Maybe they 410 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: can do another think piece at the New York Times. 411 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: I think they did one about two weeks ago that 412 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: Trump's not going to leave office when he loses. This 413 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: is the stupidity that we all have to live with 414 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: that that they can say any any level of hysteria. 415 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: Trump's putting people in concentration camps. Trump is a dictator. 416 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: Trump is a fascist. Trump isn't going to leave office. 417 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: This is mainstream. That was Anderson Cooper, Oh, beloved, beloved 418 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: by Democrats, a left wing, a left wing so called 419 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: journalist who when you look at what's really gone on 420 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: at CNN, all that's happened is that the mask has 421 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: dropped at CNN, and we now know that this is 422 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: what it has always been. They're just unable to hide 423 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: it very well, which is a left wing propaganda organ 424 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: But the stuff about how Trump is now every bit 425 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: is he's really monarchical, right, He's maniacal. He's monarchical. Think 426 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: of a crazy word to say about this president, they 427 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: will say it. So then I would ask you when 428 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: we talk about a deep state, and she was discussing there, 429 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: Susan Rice was discussing Trump's feelings about people within the 430 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: government who are supposed to be working for the implementation 431 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: to implementation of Trump policies. There have been illegal leagues. 432 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: There have been efforts to collude behind the scenes for 433 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: parties and reasons against this president. So how should he 434 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: react to that? You should think that that's fine. Did 435 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: you ever see anything like this during the Obama administration, 436 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: were there any government officials who were keep in mind, 437 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: people like McCabe breaking the law, people like Comy breaking 438 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: regulations all to settle a score with the president. Of 439 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: course not. There are just some things that they the 440 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: left do that we don't do. The left likes cancel culture. 441 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,719 Speaker 1: Conservatives the right we don't. Culturally speaking, we're not into it. 442 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: The left likes Boycott's, conservatives don't. And as somebody who 443 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: used to be a federal government employee working at the 444 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: Central Intelligence Agency, I can tell you that conservatives also 445 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: just suck it up and deal with it when they 446 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: are somebody who is at the head of government that 447 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: we don't like, because we have this thing called an election, 448 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: and the election will determine whether or not this person 449 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: stays in power. It is really such a slight It 450 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: is so unfair, unfounded. When you hear these democrats in 451 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 1: these libs claim that Trump may not leave office. Trump 452 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: supporters wouldn't. We would not be okay with that. That's 453 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: such a whore. It's like saying that we'd be okay 454 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: with Trump putting people on concentration camps. They tell me, 455 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: they say these things about Trump that are so awful 456 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: that are going to happen, and I end up looking 457 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: And this happens frequently in my discussions with increasingly shrill 458 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: and hysterical liberals. They think that the people that vote 459 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: for Trump would allow the things that they're worried that 460 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: would happen. It's never the stuff that has happened, really, 461 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: it's always the story that they tell themselves about what 462 00:27:54,520 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: would happen. Unless we have the destruction of the Trump residency, 463 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: it can't even be allowed to go to the next 464 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: election because I think they realize that if there is 465 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: another election and Trump loses, let's just say in a 466 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: sense that will legitimize it, he will have had four 467 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: years in office. He will have been the president. And 468 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: if there's a peaceful transfer of power, all of that 469 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: whining and crying about how Trump would he's a dictator, 470 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: He's gonna leave office. It'll be shown to be exactly 471 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: what we already know it is, which is the hysteria 472 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: of people who are emotionally and psychologically damaged. Because after 473 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: eight years of an Obama administration that catered to every 474 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: cultural and psychological whim of the progressive left in this country. 475 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: After that, now you have a president who doesn't just 476 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: go politically the opposite direction, but speaks about these issues 477 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: differently and calls out those who are used to being 478 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: able to get their way and say whatever they want 479 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: and just just here clapping, just one standing ovation after another. 480 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: Now there is another side to these discussions that happen 481 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: in public. There is another another voice out there that 482 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: should be heard. If what Susan Rice and Sam Donaldson 483 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: and whoever that was on MSNBC said were true about 484 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: the president, why does half the country still support him? 485 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: Because we're all so evil, we don't care about our 486 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: fellow human beings, We don't care about it. What is 487 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: more likely that the terrible things that the left keep 488 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: claiming are going to happen never happen because they're hysterical 489 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: and they've lost it, or that half the country just 490 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: doesn't care about America or they're fellow Americans anymore. I 491 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: think we all know the answer, But unfortunately, Liberals, they're 492 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,719 Speaker 1: never going to stop. Do you think that the Democrats 493 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: will impeach you, Well, I think it's a hoax, and 494 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: I think if they do, they're going to suffer at 495 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: the ballot box because the only thing impeachable. Is the fraud. 496 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: I'm not the American people because he made up my conversation. 497 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: He made a conversation that didn't exist. He never thought 498 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: in a million years that I was going to release 499 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: the real conversation. And when it did, the whistle blower 500 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: turned out to be totally inaccurate. Meaning you can make 501 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: your own determination. They say a lot of things about 502 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: the whistleblower, they protect him. I think we have to 503 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: find out who the whistleblower is that would give all 504 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: this false information. And also Adam Shift, something has to 505 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: be done. How can somebody stand up before Congress and 506 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: make a speech about my conversation, which is Ward Award 507 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: reading my conversation and it's a fraud. He made it 508 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: up himself. Well, there's no accountability for any fraud against 509 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: this president. Anything that is done by anyone on the 510 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: left to hurt Trump is excused, is in fact encouraged. 511 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: It goes beyond just being excused. People view this as 512 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: a noble a noble calling, sliming, smearing, attacking this president 513 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: with falsehoods, whatever you have to do, it's all part 514 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: of the hashtag resistance. It's like my friend over at 515 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: the wall Street Journal, Kim Strassol Resistance at All Costs, 516 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: that's her book. It's totally true. We should have Kim on, 517 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: by the way, we'll have Kim on later this week. 518 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: But they'll do anything in order to resist Trump, and 519 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: anything is therefore justifiable to resist Trump. And that's a 520 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: very important distinction that we should all be we should 521 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: all be aware of going forward. And if you looked 522 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: at this from the other side, if you look at 523 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: this from the other perspective, I keep hearing how Obama 524 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: would have been impeached one hundred times over if he 525 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: had done the things that Trump has done. And to this, 526 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: I say, well, if that's true, why do Democrats even 527 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: pretend that they shouldn't impeach the president every day? It's 528 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: a different story, it's a different narrative. Well, we're not 529 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: sure if we should impeach Trump. We absolutely shouldn't peach Trump. 530 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: Impeach him for this, impeach him for that. What about 531 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: proposing a legislation that would do something that would make 532 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: the lives of American people better? I mean, Democrats spend 533 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: all their time with Trump hatred and so very little 534 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: time on anything constructive. I think it's because when you 535 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: look at some of the policies, what are the big 536 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: ideas that they are putting forward? The Green New Deal, Wow, 537 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: single payer, medicare for all. These are things that are 538 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: fantasies even if a Democrat won the election. That's the 539 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: big that's the big secret here. That's really the part 540 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: of this that they don't want to get into. Even 541 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: if they were in power, they would not do the 542 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: things that they say they want to do. So then 543 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: why pretend, Well, because they set the goalpost even further 544 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: and then they'll get closer to it. Right, Oh, we 545 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: want the Green New Deal, but world will accept cap 546 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: and trade, or you know, we want the single payer, 547 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: but we'll accept a massive expansion of Obamacare that creates 548 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: creates a specific public option. That that's what they're trying 549 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: to do. That's what the plan is here. Old. Oh 550 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: by the way, Lee Zelden is just saying, hey, how 551 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: about some rights for Republicans from the Democrats in Congress 552 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: who are always talking about how Trump is destroying institutions. 553 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: Trump is eliminating all the guardrails of the guardrails of 554 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: our democracy. These guys all think that someone's going to 555 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: be inscribing their words and in marble near a statue 556 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: in DC play eighteen. If you would, my good man, 557 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: let's hear from Representative Zelden on this. How about the 558 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: Democrats provide the Republicans and the President the same exact 559 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: rights that they would demand if everything was reversed. You're 560 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: talking about an appeachment of the president of the United States, 561 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: and everything is going to happen behind closed doors, offering 562 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: no protection whatsoever, no transparency, no accountability, no due process. Substantively, 563 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: you should know every single word that we just heard, 564 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: but instead you heard none of the American public heard 565 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: none of it because Chairman Chief instead chooses to put 566 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: his own spin to it. And that's outrageous. And the 567 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: American public are fed up with what they are watching. 568 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 1: It is disgusting, isn't it. Oh, let's have an impeachment 569 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: of the president, but all of the testimony right now, 570 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: it happens in secret. Let's have secret testimony. But then 571 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: we'll trust Adam Schiff, who is a liar, to be 572 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: the one who translates like he did before. Remember, Oh, 573 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to pretend that I'm reading a transcript of 574 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: the President's speech. That's just something I made up. The 575 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: words are not the words, my friends. The evidence is 576 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: not the evidence. This is a Kafka esque nightmare, one 577 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,919 Speaker 1: that they're dragging not just the president of the United 578 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: States into, but the entirety of the American people, which 579 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: is the plant. That's what they're doing. That's why we are, 580 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: in fact, in the permanent coup, or as I am 581 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: calling it to the forever coup. We are in the 582 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: midst of it. You might as well understand that beat 583 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: him like a drum. If I get the nomination and 584 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: here's the deal, and you go to you go to 585 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: three foreign governments, not just all about me, three foreign 586 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: governments and ask them to come in and interfere in 587 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:21,919 Speaker 1: the sovereignty the sacredness of the American electoral process. Come on, 588 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: come on, this is outrageous. How if in fact, the 589 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: House doesn't move and let the facts forward, they may 590 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: And what does the next unethical president if we elect 591 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: another one, what's that say they can do? What's that say? 592 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: What's going to happen? They have to know there's consequences. 593 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: I may be the last guy to public recall for impeachment, 594 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: but I'm the only reason there is impeachment going on. 595 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: Because this president has I've written extensively about how this 596 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: president our democracy is a literally at stake. It's not 597 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 1: a joke. This most corrupted administration in modern American history, 598 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: maybe every been in modern American history. Democracy at stake, 599 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: most corrupt administration in modern American history. I wonder how 600 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 1: blue collar Joe would define that. One. I love this 601 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: a lot, Democracy at stake. And yet they're the ones 602 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: who don't want to have an election. They're the ones 603 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: that want you avert the choice of the American people 604 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: from happening in twenty twenty. They want to take us 605 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: in a different direction than that. Why not just make 606 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: all the effort right now, all the energy, to just 607 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: focus it on beating the president of the next election. 608 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: And I know that they, as I've said, they'll complain 609 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: and say, oh, but he won't leave office and he's 610 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: a fascist. I mean, that's just stupid. People say that 611 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: are morons, But there are a lot of people out 612 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: there saying it, very famous, very prominent ones. That's not 613 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: going to happen. And it's not going to happen because one, 614 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: it's just a fantasy that liberals tell themselves to make 615 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: them feel better about the crazy stuff, they say. But 616 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: also the Trump supporters wouldn't allow that. Look, he loses 617 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: the election, he loses the election, he's out. We have 618 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: the system, we have. We are the ones who respect 619 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: the system. The leftists are the ones who don't. Our 620 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: democracy is at stake. This comes after what was it 621 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: about the first year after the election? All you saw 622 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: were these think pieces, think pieces which is glorifying them, 623 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: These left wing hacks all coming up with ways to 624 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 1: explain how the popular vote should really matter more. We 625 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: should eliminate the electoral college, we should put more Supreme 626 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: Court justices on the Supreme Court. They're willing to completely 627 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: change the system and to reimagine it and then remake 628 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: it in the image of their own power. And yet 629 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: they turn around to lecture us about how Trump is 630 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: a threat to democracy. Really, when is it too much? 631 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: When is it too silly, too absurd for anybody to 632 00:37:54,760 --> 00:38:00,040 Speaker 1: have to take this seriously anymore? Unfortunately, I guess we 633 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: have no choice because this is what the other major 634 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: political party in this country has embraced. The Fact that 635 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden admits that he's the reason impeachments going on 636 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 1: is interesting. What about all that stuff and the Muther 637 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 1: report that the ten possible instances of corruption was that 638 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: was that not enough for impeachment? I'm confused. I was 639 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 1: told at the time that was more than enough for impeachment. 640 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: Of course, the American people didn't really buy it though. 641 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: Oh so they had to come up with another, another 642 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: soft coup, another effort to undo the results of the 643 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election. And so now they've settled on this, 644 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: somebody working with Adam Schiff behind the scenes. It checks 645 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: off so many of the boxes. Foreign interference in the election, 646 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: quid pro quo corruption, Oh Trump is the worst. And 647 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 1: yet they still have no evidence of this quid pro quo. 648 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: They have no evidence in any action whatsoever was taken 649 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: in response to a phone call between the President United 650 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: States and a counterpart in which he's allowed to say 651 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: what he wants to say about corruption in that country. 652 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: That it affects Hunter Biden is just an unfortunate situation 653 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: for Democrats. Sorry, the same Democrat party who are apparently 654 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: still fine with Hillary Clinton's DNC paying paying a foreigner 655 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: to run around and ask foreigners for information for dirt 656 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: on the now president of the United States, then candidate 657 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. So I just would wonder I would like 658 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: to ask, I'd like to just dig in for a 659 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: moment into at what point do we get to talk 660 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: about the foreign interference in the election that they paid 661 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: for and used our own intelligence community to launder the 662 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 1: dossier to create this phony pretext for an investigation of 663 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,720 Speaker 1: Trump campaign figures? When do we get to feel outrage 664 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,839 Speaker 1: about FISA warrants against Carter Paige? When do we get 665 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: to feel like Papadopoulos The start, the excuse for the 666 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: start of a full field FBI investigation is absurd and 667 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: also a massive abuse of power. Oh, I think soon soon, 668 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: I hope if the US Attorney for the State of Connecticut, Durham, 669 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: is able to release his report and we see what 670 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: really happened there. I think Democrats are also trying to 671 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: counter balance what they must know is going to look 672 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: terrible for anybody who's being honest about the situation when 673 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: that report about FISA abuse and all the things that 674 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,720 Speaker 1: were done to this president by people in the government, 675 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party and the media, the lies, the scheming, 676 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 1: the plotting, the misleading of the American people, the massive 677 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: amount of time spent on just nonsense, the special counsel. 678 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: The special counsel was a joke. Should never have happened. 679 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 1: If the FBI and the dj want to look into 680 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: Russian interference, God bless go for it. Oh how many 681 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 1: Russians have been brought to justice as a result. I 682 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: think they are pressing charges against Maria Boutina. Oh. I 683 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 1: hope we all sleep better at night now knowing Maria 684 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: Boutina is not going to single handedly throw the next election. 685 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 1: These people are loons, loons. But I also recall that 686 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,919 Speaker 1: we were told that Joe Biden did nothing wrong. Oh 687 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: the media, oh CNN, just so so sanctimonious about this. 688 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden did nothing wrong in Ukraine? How could they know? 689 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,240 Speaker 1: Were they out there? Were they? Do they speak Ukrainian? 690 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 1: Were they meeting with Ukrainian officials behind the scenes. No, 691 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: they just go with the talking points that they're told. 692 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: They have no idea what Joe Biden did or didn't 693 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 1: do in Ukraine. In fact, really nobody in this country 694 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 1: does fully because Ukraine's incredibly corrupt and the investigation at 695 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: least allegedly was tainted or shut down early. Maybe it was, 696 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't. We should find out. I thought we 697 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: wanted more facts. I thought this was all about getting 698 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: to the bottom of it, finding out more information. Ah. Yes, 699 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: But then we have Joe Biden, for example, being or 700 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: telling us all that nothing bad happened in Ukraine. But 701 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden just stepped down from the board of the 702 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: Chinese company. Remember he got over a billion dollars from 703 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: China after flying to China on Air Force two with 704 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: his dad. Who's going to give Hunter Biden a billion dollars? 705 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: Guy couldn't last six months as a public affairs officer 706 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 1: in the Navy without hitting positive on a drug test. 707 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 1: I believe for cocaine. You're gonna give this guy billion 708 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: dollars based on what Oh, based on the fact that 709 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,919 Speaker 1: his dad's vice president. That's right, That's why you're gonna 710 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: give a billion dollars to a company that he's very 711 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: involved in. And that's not even Ukraine, where he was 712 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 1: getting fifty thousand dollars a month to be on a 713 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,280 Speaker 1: board seat of a company that he had no expertise 714 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: and whatsoever. I have to ask the question, what will 715 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 1: this Chinese company do without Hunter Biden's considerable expertise in nothing. 716 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 1: I just wonder if they'll be able to make it 717 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 1: through the next quarter. I guess they'll be okay. So 718 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 1: on the one hand, we're told nothing bad happened, but 719 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 1: also now Hunter Biden is stepping down from this Chinese 720 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,880 Speaker 1: company and Joe Biden telling us that this would not 721 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: happen again. Play seventeen. No one in my family we'll 722 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: have an office in the White House, we'll sit at 723 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: in meetings as if they're a cabinet member, will in 724 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 1: fact have any business relationship with anyone that relates to 725 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:25,359 Speaker 1: a foreign corporation or a foreign country. Period period, end 726 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: of story. And what I'm not going to let you 727 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: all do is take the focus off the problem. No one. 728 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 1: No one has asserted my son did a single thing wrong. 729 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: No one has asserted that I have done anything wrong 730 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 1: except the lying president. That's the only thing that's the focus. 731 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,840 Speaker 1: Actually a lot of people have asserted it, so that's 732 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 1: that's not true. A lot of people think that there 733 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,720 Speaker 1: was more than just a little bit of smoke around 734 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,240 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's payoffs in Ukraine. It's not just the president. 735 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 1: In fact, people broke the story before the President even 736 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 1: knew about it. But I will say this because we 737 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: keep it real here, can I defend the giving of 738 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: very senior positions in a White House to family members 739 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: that this administration has engaged in. I cannot. I will 740 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 1: not defend it. I cannot defend it. I do not 741 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: agree with it. So so Joe's fighting back in an 742 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: area where he's got he's got some room to run, 743 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 1: no question about it. We are not some third world kleptocracy. 744 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,240 Speaker 1: We should not have family members that are not elected officials, 745 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: that are just being given very senior roles in government. 746 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: It's not a good look, it's not right. I do 747 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 1: not agree with it, Come what may. But that's not 748 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,320 Speaker 1: what we're really talking about, is it with Hunter Biden 749 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 1: and Joe Biden. Oh No, what we're talking about there 750 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: is that there was a payoff going on here from 751 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 1: companies tied to foreign governments that were very much interested 752 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,919 Speaker 1: in currying favor of the then vice president the United States. 753 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: So Hunter Biden stepped down, and we're told now from 754 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 1: this Chinese company, oh, there's no problem him here. Well, 755 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: of course there's a problem. That's why he's stepping down. 756 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: I didn't do anything wrong, but I promise I'll never 757 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 1: do it again. Is a really interesting place for the 758 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 1: vice president and his son to be in right now, 759 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: and that is where they are. So I guess this 760 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,880 Speaker 1: has been more complicated for the Democrats, this latest effort 761 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: to this latest effort to derail the Trump presidency. Oh wait, 762 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,799 Speaker 1: there's one more. Joe Biden wants you don't know even 763 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 1: though his son is stepping down. There's no conflict, no 764 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,760 Speaker 1: conflict at all. Playclip fourteen if you would mark the producer. 765 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: My son and I do not and never have, nor 766 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: did my son The Attorney General and I talk about 767 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 1: their policies at all, So there would never be any 768 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: conflict that I ever in fact influenced because I didn't 769 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: know period. I've never discussed, never discussed this with my 770 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 1: son while I was vice president or since being vice president, 771 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: except in the recent past when I was told by 772 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 1: his lawyers that he is going to be issued a statement. Okay, 773 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 1: let's let's examine that denial for one second. First of all, 774 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: we have the photo of Biden and his son golfing 775 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 1: with a Barisma executive, So yeah, I don't think anyone 776 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,759 Speaker 1: should buy that that. He may never talked about anything, 777 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,879 Speaker 1: having you with any of this, But then beyond that, 778 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 1: I would just want to know We really think that 779 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 1: this that Joe Biden Hunter Bid had never talked about 780 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: Ukraine while the sons in the board of this company 781 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,360 Speaker 1: a gatting fifty thousand dollars a month. That just didn't 782 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 1: come up. Your dad's the vice president. You decided to 783 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 1: take this board seat. You're not going to talk to 784 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 1: your dad about and maybe not even talk about this 785 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 1: in a nefarious fashion. Hey dad, you think that they 786 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,360 Speaker 1: are actually gonna what have you heard from the prosecutor? 787 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 1: Are they gonna be tearing down this company? Are we 788 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 1: gonna see some executives getting fired or getting arrested? I mean, 789 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:49,759 Speaker 1: I would be curious about that if I were on 790 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 1: the board of Barisma, Ukrainian natural gas company. But is 791 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: it feasible? Is it plausible that Hunter Biden and Joe 792 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 1: Biden never talked about this? Of course not So if 793 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: it's not plausible, then what does that mean about Hunter 794 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 1: or Joe Biden's denial? Here? What means he's lying? We 795 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,839 Speaker 1: don't surprise anybody if Joe Biden was lying. No, Joe 796 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:13,240 Speaker 1: Biden is a third tier hack Democrat who just happened 797 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,919 Speaker 1: to get lucky because the Obama administration needed somebody who 798 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,280 Speaker 1: wasn't a challenge to Obama's supremacy, right, couldn't have Hillary 799 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:26,239 Speaker 1: be the vice president? And m well, what about the 800 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 1: next step? Then? Oh, I guess they had to find 801 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: somebody like Joe Biden. That's that's and it's only because 802 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 1: of his connection to Obama that he's even really a 803 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 1: national level figure in the first place. This guy is 804 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 1: deeply unimpressive, it's accomplish. Nothing strikes me as quite strange 805 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,399 Speaker 1: that we even have to have this discussion that Joe 806 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 1: Biden should be the front runner for the Democrats. The 807 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 1: truth is the Democrats should be embarrassed that he is 808 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 1: their front runner. But I guess they're just not. They choose, 809 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 1: They choose not to be until they have another front runner, 810 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: which is gonna be any day now. I think she 811 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: has been a mom diplomat and deserved better than the 812 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,840 Speaker 1: shabby treatment she received from this president and from the 813 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:11,280 Speaker 1: Secretary of State. So I'm I think we're all deeply 814 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 1: in her debt for representing the country so well around 815 00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: the world and for so long. I also want to 816 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 1: express my appreciation for not just what a great champion 817 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,920 Speaker 1: she was of the rule of law in Ukraine, but 818 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,799 Speaker 1: also the respect she has for the rule of law 819 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 1: here at home. Well, she may be a wonderful woman. 820 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 1: I don't know her, but she may be very much 821 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,880 Speaker 1: a wonderful woman. If you remember the phone call I 822 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 1: had with the president, the new president. He didn't speak favorably, 823 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,239 Speaker 1: but I just don't know her. She may be a 824 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 1: wonderful woman. So that's this the Marie Yavanovich. Here's what 825 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 1: was ambassador or involved in foreign relations with Ukraine. I 826 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: think she was a former ambassador there, but she's now 827 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,280 Speaker 1: one of the people who's testified behind closed doors about 828 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,799 Speaker 1: the whole Ukraine phone call. I would just note that 829 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 1: we've seen this play out too many times to forget 830 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,960 Speaker 1: about what really happens here, which is that the media 831 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 1: and the Democrats build up any government official who is 832 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 1: useful for the purposes of Trump bashing, becomes the single 833 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 1: most incredible, most ethical, most amazing person to have ever 834 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:32,320 Speaker 1: worked in the government, and then invariably some time passes 835 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: and we find out, oh, no, that person was either 836 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: not nearly that impressive, not nearly that important even in 837 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 1: the issue at hand, or to take it even a 838 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,880 Speaker 1: little bit further, person was an anti Trump partisan. The 839 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: person was a hack had an axe to grind with 840 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 1: the President United States. And therefore all of the testimony 841 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 1: that was given and all the things that we were 842 00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 1: told have to be looked at in a very different light. 843 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 1: So I would just note that this is what we 844 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,840 Speaker 1: will be told again. This is the situation where we 845 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 1: put in once more. Anyone who is speaking negatively about 846 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,680 Speaker 1: the President on this issue of Ukraine, you will be 847 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,239 Speaker 1: told is the most amazing, most incredible public servant to 848 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 1: have ever done anything. And the people who speak in 849 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,840 Speaker 1: at some level in a defensive Trump, we will be told, 850 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: are hacks who can't be trusted, their Maga hat wearing partisans, 851 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 1: and they'll be Oh and by the way, this also 852 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 1: has the effect of signaling to folks who are going 853 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: to be testifying about one thing or another in front 854 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 1: of Adam Schiff and his committee that you want to 855 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 1: be someone that the New York Times is writing about 856 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,359 Speaker 1: as a hero of the Republic, or do you want 857 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,319 Speaker 1: to be somebody who is part of Trump's web of 858 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,400 Speaker 1: fascism and corruption and destruction and all this other stuff. 859 00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 1: So there you have it. Um, By the way, I 860 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,840 Speaker 1: do want to see I just see this now that 861 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 1: there was a Saturday Night Live sketch or this is 862 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,240 Speaker 1: a total digression, but live sketchro of the weekend about 863 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 1: the origins of the Oscar the Grouch movie. It was 864 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: one of the better I would recommend you check it out. 865 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 1: It was one of the better things I've seen on 866 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,520 Speaker 1: SNL in quite a while. But they made There also 867 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,720 Speaker 1: was a reference on I think it was on SNL 868 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 1: to The Irishman, which is a Martin Scorsese movie, which 869 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 1: is another gangster Does this guy only make gangster movies? Why? 870 00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,320 Speaker 1: Why is this? Is this like Good Fellows but with 871 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 1: Irish guys? Is that what this is? The Irishman? I 872 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 1: gotta say, I know, people, this is gonna get me. 873 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get booed for this. But I think Scorsese's overrated. 874 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. I thought Gangs in New 875 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 1: York was a crappy movie. And you know some of 876 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 1: the gangster movies he's made, Yeah they were. They were 877 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 1: good in their day and everything. But like I'm gonna depart, 878 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: it is very watchable, it's very entertaining, but it's kind 879 00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 1: of a ridiculous movie, especially the ending. It's just just 880 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 1: come on a mess and I do want to see 881 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 1: The Joker. I may go see Joker this week. In fact, 882 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm I'm already thinking maybe I'll go see The Joker 883 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,360 Speaker 1: on Thursday, so i'd have an opportunity to talk to 884 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 1: you about it. This is something that you you should 885 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:19,800 Speaker 1: always remember whenever the critics now absolutely just intensely hate 886 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 1: a movie that people are going to see, Chances are 887 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 1: it's a worthwhile thing to see because critics now view 888 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 1: themselves not as people that are trying to assess the 889 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: value and the impact of an artistic endeavor. They are 890 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 1: there to be the gatekeepers and the custodians of the 891 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,359 Speaker 1: ultimate wokeness. They're the ones to make sure that they're 892 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,279 Speaker 1: enforcing social justice orthodoxy on the rest of us. But 893 00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 1: I hear that the Joker movie with Joakin Phoenix is good, 894 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:48,839 Speaker 1: So I'm going to try to see that this week. 895 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,799 Speaker 1: Maybe be able to give you guys my review of 896 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 1: The Joker here in the show as soon as Friday. 897 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 1: But when I come back, I want to talk to 898 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 1: you about Syria, So just give me a second. You 899 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:05,319 Speaker 1: are now entering the Freedom Hot Titical Operation Center. All 900 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 1: sensitive programs Muskie Caps strictly need to know Team Buck 901 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,919 Speaker 1: is cleared and ready for the Buck brief. I don't 902 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 1: think our soldiers should be there for the next fifty 903 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 1: years guarding a border between Turkey and Syria when we 904 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 1: can't guard our own borders at home. I don't think so. 905 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:34,359 Speaker 1: A lot of people very upset right now about what's 906 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:39,239 Speaker 1: going on in Syria with the Turkish incursion. There have 907 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: been casualties. I think last I saw about a dozen 908 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 1: or so Syrian Kurds members of the YPG, this militia 909 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,600 Speaker 1: which really comes from the PKK, which is in factly 910 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:56,080 Speaker 1: designated terrorist group and a separatist group that wants a Turkey, 911 00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:00,040 Speaker 1: a Kurdish homeland in what is now northern Syria and 912 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,280 Speaker 1: southern Turkey. People are using this though, first and foremost, 913 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 1: as an opportunity to bash the president. Seeing a lot 914 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,719 Speaker 1: of people who know very little about reality in the 915 00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 1: Middle East, about military occupation, about counterinsurgency, about counter terrorism, 916 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 1: who all of a sudden have all the answers in Syria. 917 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 1: So I want to take a not just a contrarian 918 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,919 Speaker 1: point of view, although I think that's important. I want 919 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,480 Speaker 1: to take a realist perspective on what is going on 920 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,759 Speaker 1: here because there are conflicting emotions. I do have a 921 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 1: and I'm honest with you about this. I have a 922 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 1: fondness for the Kurdish people. I think Turkey's not an ally. 923 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 1: I think Turkey's not really a friend. I think Turkey 924 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 1: should be kicked out of NATO. So I've got a 925 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,280 Speaker 1: lot of thoughts on this stuff. I think the Turks 926 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 1: have not been that helpful in Afghanistan, have not been 927 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 1: that helpful in Iraq, have not been that We're unhelpful 928 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,400 Speaker 1: in Syria. Just kicked the doors wide open, let all 929 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:57,080 Speaker 1: the jihadists filter into Syria to fight against the Assad regime. Turkey. 930 00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,879 Speaker 1: In many ways, southern Turkey and the border with Syria 931 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 1: became something akin to the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan 932 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 1: during the fight against the Mujahideen. And in this case 933 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,320 Speaker 1: we're talking about all kaind of guys philisberg into Syria 934 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 1: to fight against the Asadrashi. So there were some very 935 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 1: very shortsighted decisions made. I think that by Riduana, the 936 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 1: Turkish leadership. Riduana is an ISLAMISTI he's a authoritarian. He's 937 00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 1: not a friend of the United States. He's just not. 938 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 1: And I think there's not nearly enough attention being paid 939 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 1: to the fact that we cannot control everything, and if 940 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 1: the Turks are going to lash at an act in 941 00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:40,920 Speaker 1: this way, most of the ire should be directed at 942 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 1: the Turks and the Turkish government instead everything everything that 943 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,839 Speaker 1: Turkey does. People are saying, well, Trump gave the green 944 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,879 Speaker 1: light for this. Trump didn't tell the Turks. In fact, 945 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,799 Speaker 1: he's on the opposite. He said, do not do this. 946 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,479 Speaker 1: And today you have, or the last forty eight hours, 947 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,960 Speaker 1: I should say, you have discussions going on about what 948 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,760 Speaker 1: actions the United States will take to punish the Turks 949 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: for exactly what they have done here. Please, if you would, 950 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,040 Speaker 1: producer Mark, would you play a Treasury Secretary manuche in 951 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 1: saying look, we're ready to rock and put some sanctions 952 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,520 Speaker 1: here on the Turks. Play twenty three. The National Security team, 953 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 1: not yesterday in the situation room, will be meeting again 954 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 1: this morning. I think you know this is an evolving 955 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:23,319 Speaker 1: situation where monitoring the situation carefully. As I said, the 956 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 1: sanctions are ready to go. We'll be updating the President 957 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,560 Speaker 1: this morning and when he makes the decision will activate it. 958 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,759 Speaker 1: Sanctions ready to go. So when people say that it's 959 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:37,839 Speaker 1: the green life and the president. That's not fair, that's 960 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,200 Speaker 1: not what's happened here. I mean, yes, the president did 961 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 1: move about fifty troops. We still have about a thousand 962 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,719 Speaker 1: or so at least that we're told about in Syria. 963 00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,200 Speaker 1: And as a result, the Turks now have started to 964 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,720 Speaker 1: seize territory. But a fascinating thing is also happening, my friends. 965 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:55,719 Speaker 1: So so keep in mind that the Turks are the 966 00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 1: ones that are making the situation the mess that it 967 00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 1: is right now, and they have agency, they have they're 968 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 1: making their own decisions, and they deserve some blame in 969 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,360 Speaker 1: this process. And the Trump administration is saying, I'm sorry, 970 00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,640 Speaker 1: but this is not okay, and we are going to 971 00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 1: punish you economically. The good thing is that Turkey's economy 972 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 1: is not some powerhouse, so if we want to make 973 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:20,720 Speaker 1: things hurt a little bit, we can. But now you 974 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:25,360 Speaker 1: have the reports about the release of iss ISIS militants, 975 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 1: terrorists who are in Kurdish custody. You have some family 976 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 1: members of ISIS militants who it's belief have already been released. 977 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 1: And looking at this now, what we see is the 978 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 1: Syrian government coming in and taking control of some of 979 00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 1: these areas after the US has backed out of them. 980 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 1: Now this is being reported on as Syrian troops are 981 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 1: entering towns in northern Syria. This is being reported on 982 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 1: as a as a show of how terrible things are. 983 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 1: Trump's decision here is awful. All right, Well, let's let's 984 00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 1: look at this for a moment. What was the alternative 985 00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,440 Speaker 1: for everyone who keeps telling me, Oh, we've abandoned the Kurds, 986 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 1: and it's terrible, and I do feel badly for those 987 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,520 Speaker 1: Kurdish fighters who are briefly keep in mind though, also 988 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm trying to give you more of a perspective here, 989 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:23,439 Speaker 1: because the narrative is being driven by two things right now, 990 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 1: anti Trumpism and interventionism. And interventionism from a military and 991 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:32,400 Speaker 1: national security establishment and a lot of so called experts 992 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,560 Speaker 1: and think tanks in DC, and people go on TV 993 00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 1: here in New York. I don't know what the heck 994 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,920 Speaker 1: they're talking about. Never learn the lessons of this is 995 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,520 Speaker 1: not our fight, we shouldn't be doing this. They never 996 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,000 Speaker 1: learned that lesson. It's always, oh, but what but what 997 00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,880 Speaker 1: happens after we leave? Yeah, bad things will happen. What 998 00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:53,360 Speaker 1: happens if we stay? If we can't leave, Syria. How 999 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,080 Speaker 1: are we ever going to leave Afghanistan. We're going to 1000 00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,640 Speaker 1: be in Afghanistan forever. This is now. This is something 1001 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:00,920 Speaker 1: that the American taxpayer, to the two tens of billions 1002 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,440 Speaker 1: of dollars a year, is just going to continue to 1003 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 1: just pay for. Why what are we doing there? There 1004 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 1: are plenty of countries where their terrorist groups operating international 1005 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 1: jihattist entities that are targeting America. We're gonna invade all 1006 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 1: of them too. Leave a thousand, five thousand, ten thousand 1007 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,440 Speaker 1: US troops. Some of your saying, buck, we are Look 1008 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 1: at all the bases we have all of the world. Yeah, 1009 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 1: but we try not to set up new bases and 1010 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,640 Speaker 1: countries that are in the middle of a war or 1011 00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:28,480 Speaker 1: where terrorists control whole pieces of territory and can attack 1012 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 1: those bases. That's we try to avoid. That. We don't 1013 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:37,240 Speaker 1: always succeed, But I keep coming back to, oh yeah, 1014 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,960 Speaker 1: and also the fighters, the Kurdish fighters, they weren't We 1015 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,440 Speaker 1: didn't pick them up and air drop them in some 1016 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 1: foreign country and say, hey, will you guys do all 1017 00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 1: the fighting for us? This is their country. The Kurds 1018 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 1: that we're talking about here that took Rocca that took 1019 00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 1: the fight to ISIS and took thousands of casualties. They 1020 00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,439 Speaker 1: were targets of the Islamic States, So we helped them 1021 00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:01,720 Speaker 1: defeat an enemy in their own country. That needs to 1022 01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,000 Speaker 1: be remembered. Yeah, we're glad that we partnered up with them. 1023 01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 1: But the narrative right now has turned to do well 1024 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,560 Speaker 1: the Kurds did are fighting for us? No, we help 1025 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:13,640 Speaker 1: the Kurds do fighting they needed to do. Oh, you're 1026 01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,360 Speaker 1: not hearing that for other people? Are You're not hearing 1027 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,880 Speaker 1: this part of the discussion. Yeah, the Kurds. Oh, what's 1028 01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 1: a debt of gratitude as well? I don't know why 1029 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,440 Speaker 1: no one seems to understand this right now. I know 1030 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,960 Speaker 1: that sounds that's completely anathema because we've backed off and 1031 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 1: we we've backed away from commitments to continue assisting them 1032 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,600 Speaker 1: in certain parts of northern Syria that are right along 1033 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 1: the Turkish border, and the Turks are being deeply unhelpful, 1034 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 1: which they frequently are in the region, almost always. You 1035 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,120 Speaker 1: won't let us do certain flight, certain kinds of missions 1036 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,360 Speaker 1: from the you know, the air base in injer Lick 1037 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,439 Speaker 1: in Turkey. I mean, there's all kinds of all kinds 1038 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: of restrictions, that the Turks are just a constant pain 1039 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 1: and they're supposed to be a NATO ally And wow, 1040 01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,160 Speaker 1: I mean, compare what it's like dealing with the polls 1041 01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 1: and then dealing with the Turks, or name a NATO 1042 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:08,439 Speaker 1: country that's been helpful to us in recent years. So 1043 01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 1: we helped them do fighting they needed to do in 1044 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 1: their own country. That gets left out of this discussion. 1045 01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,760 Speaker 1: I think that's something we need to remember. And then 1046 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,680 Speaker 1: there's this other part of it. Okay, what are we 1047 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,760 Speaker 1: supposed to do here? We're going to leave US troops 1048 01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:24,280 Speaker 1: there for how long? I know that the Turks fired 1049 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 1: on a place where they knew there was some US 1050 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,959 Speaker 1: military presence. They're claiming it was an accident. Some people 1051 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,400 Speaker 1: say they were sending a message. Tough to know exactly 1052 01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 1: without being there on the ground and really knowing the 1053 01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,200 Speaker 1: circumstances of it. I mean, I could be persuaded right 1054 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,520 Speaker 1: now that it was either it was either incompetence or 1055 01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,840 Speaker 1: sending a message. It really depends on some of the 1056 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,400 Speaker 1: additional details and factors. But Okay, what are we really 1057 01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 1: going to do? How long does our commitment to the 1058 01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,600 Speaker 1: curts continue? Are we going to set up an independent 1059 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:55,480 Speaker 1: Curtistan in Syria. We thought about doing that in Iraq, 1060 01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,480 Speaker 1: and then we realized that that would lead to civil 1061 01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,520 Speaker 1: war and all kinds of problems most likely so, and 1062 01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:02,160 Speaker 1: that would also mean that we were showing up and 1063 01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,880 Speaker 1: helping to dismember a nation state in a way that 1064 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,000 Speaker 1: we felt would be beneficial to us. Yeah, sure of 1065 01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 1: beneficial to the region. But there was no Curtis. There's 1066 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,720 Speaker 1: no there's Kurtistan in theory or Curtistan in practice in 1067 01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 1: northern Iraq, but it's really a federal region that's still 1068 01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,240 Speaker 1: very much a part of the The Iraqi government wants 1069 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:22,960 Speaker 1: to send troops up, they'll send troops up. I mean, 1070 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 1: this is it's not an independent country. Are we going 1071 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,360 Speaker 1: to carve that out of northern Syria? Okay, who's going 1072 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,880 Speaker 1: to administer that? Is it going to come out of 1073 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 1: Syrian government territory? Will the Syrian government accept that? Are 1074 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,400 Speaker 1: we going to try to take a piece of Turkey? Well, 1075 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 1: of course not. The Turks would lose their minds. In 1076 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,800 Speaker 1: fact that the Turks are already losing their minds about 1077 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,240 Speaker 1: the fact that we've been working with the YPG militia. 1078 01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,959 Speaker 1: As it is But then we get to a point 1079 01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 1: that is always lost in this discussion. Assad won the 1080 01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:56,840 Speaker 1: Syrian Civil War. The Syrian Civil War was being fought 1081 01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,400 Speaker 1: for years, with over a half a million dead, by 1082 01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,760 Speaker 1: the way, all occurring under the Obama administration. This gets 1083 01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 1: lost in the discussion today too. The Assyrian Civil War 1084 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:11,200 Speaker 1: was won by the Assad regime because Assad stayed in power. Sure, 1085 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,200 Speaker 1: he lost control over some parts of his country to 1086 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 1: this day, but does anyone really think that over the 1087 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 1: long term he will not re establish control in those areas? 1088 01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:23,960 Speaker 1: Why are we thinking that it's such a terrible thing though? 1089 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,200 Speaker 1: We keep hearing O the Russian backed Assad regime. Yes, 1090 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:33,040 Speaker 1: that's right, the Russian backed Assad regime. Who else is 1091 01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:36,240 Speaker 1: going to be in charge in this country? There's no 1092 01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:39,040 Speaker 1: talk about really a political settlement anymore where Asad's not 1093 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:42,200 Speaker 1: in charge. But someone going to try to fight a 1094 01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,600 Speaker 1: war against Assad on behalf of who exactly we're worried 1095 01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:49,560 Speaker 1: about the resurgence of ISIS. So was the plan to 1096 01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:54,960 Speaker 1: keep US military in Syria to fight alongside the Kurds 1097 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:59,200 Speaker 1: to stave off any military action for the Turks, to 1098 01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 1: stave offy action from Assad to take back the territory 1099 01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:05,240 Speaker 1: in a country that's still technically Syria, there is no 1100 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:10,960 Speaker 1: other country to deal with, and just try to push 1101 01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,960 Speaker 1: back on any Iranian interventionism in Syria and possible attacks 1102 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 1: against our troops and our interest there indefinitely. That was 1103 01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:21,520 Speaker 1: that's really the plan is for us to stay there 1104 01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 1: and back the Kurds up for the next twenty years, 1105 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,160 Speaker 1: thirty years. Well, if it's not to set up a 1106 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,120 Speaker 1: country inside of Syria, and what is there going to 1107 01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:32,280 Speaker 1: be a UN mandate for that? Will the Arab League 1108 01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,160 Speaker 1: go along with that? I mean, what what was the plan? 1109 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 1: No one ever talks about this. What was the plan 1110 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 1: supposed to be? They say, they mocked this notion of 1111 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 1: a forever war, even though we've been in Afghanistan for 1112 01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,640 Speaker 1: almost twenty years now going on twenty years, still in 1113 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:54,200 Speaker 1: Iraq going on, you know what, seventeen years. So someone 1114 01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,280 Speaker 1: explained to me what the plan was supposed to be 1115 01:04:56,360 --> 01:05:01,760 Speaker 1: in Syria and for all these people that are pointing 1116 01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,600 Speaker 1: to the casualties that the Kurds are taking, and I look, 1117 01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,960 Speaker 1: I feel badly about it. I think the Kurds have 1118 01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,320 Speaker 1: done excellent fighting for their interests and our interests, and 1119 01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,240 Speaker 1: they're brave, and they're trying to carve out really a 1120 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:19,040 Speaker 1: piece of civilization at a very uncivilized part of Syria, 1121 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:24,240 Speaker 1: trying to have some rule, some rule of laws, some order. 1122 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:29,160 Speaker 1: And I respect all of that, but I also recall 1123 01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:31,520 Speaker 1: all of the US troops that have been fighting in 1124 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,880 Speaker 1: Iraq and Syria for how many years? How many of 1125 01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:45,480 Speaker 1: them are currently still missing limbs, rehabilitating injuries, dealing with PTSD. 1126 01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:50,920 Speaker 1: How many families gold star families are there who lost 1127 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:56,400 Speaker 1: a loved one fighting in a rock Afghanistan? For what exactly? 1128 01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:03,080 Speaker 1: At this point? Stability, continuation of the status quo. Is 1129 01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:07,200 Speaker 1: that why our military exists to hold together countries that 1130 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,960 Speaker 1: can't hold themselves together. And I also have a tremendous 1131 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,040 Speaker 1: amount of ingratitude not just from a lot of the 1132 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:14,880 Speaker 1: people in that country, but from the region, from the 1133 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:18,480 Speaker 1: Muslim world, from the rest of the world. No, I 1134 01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:24,320 Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't find that circumstance acceptable. And 1135 01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:28,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if the Kurds have 1136 01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:30,880 Speaker 1: to do their own fighting and settle their own disputes 1137 01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:34,280 Speaker 1: on their own problems in Syria, but that means that 1138 01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,560 Speaker 1: some of you listening to this who are going on 1139 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:39,880 Speaker 1: I can't even count how many deployments in the Middle 1140 01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,720 Speaker 1: East don't have to show up in Syria and try 1141 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,640 Speaker 1: to prevent the Turks from killing the Kurds and the 1142 01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,120 Speaker 1: Syrians from killing the Kurds, and the Russians from backing 1143 01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,400 Speaker 1: the Syrians from killing the Kurds. Who are killing Isis? 1144 01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 1: Who are this mess? This hornet's nest? If that means 1145 01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:55,400 Speaker 1: that some of you listening to this or your children 1146 01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,640 Speaker 1: perhaps aren't going to have to go out there and 1147 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 1: do this and do this fighting, yeah, I'm willing to 1148 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 1: accept the situation as it is playing out right now 1149 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,800 Speaker 1: in Syria. Do we learn the lesson or not. It's 1150 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,360 Speaker 1: going to be hard, all right. As I've been telling you, 1151 01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:16,720 Speaker 1: after the Second World War, we accepted a circumstance where 1152 01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:21,560 Speaker 1: basically half the world was condemned to totalitarianism, servitude, and slavery. 1153 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:23,960 Speaker 1: But you know, it was a win because at least 1154 01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:25,640 Speaker 1: it was a Nazi Germany. That's what we thought at 1155 01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 1: the time. Right, find me a war, give me the 1156 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,040 Speaker 1: aftermath of it, and I'll tell you about how not 1157 01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:35,600 Speaker 1: everybody wins. And I don't just mean on the losing side, 1158 01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:40,600 Speaker 1: I mean not everybody wins on the winning side. Find 1159 01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,200 Speaker 1: me a war, and you'll have a situation that will 1160 01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:43,800 Speaker 1: remind us all that we don't want to fight wars 1161 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:50,080 Speaker 1: that should be a guiding principle. I think that's getting 1162 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,920 Speaker 1: lost right now. I think it's also being just we're 1163 01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,720 Speaker 1: just being screamed out by people who haven't learned the 1164 01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 1: lessons of what's happened in the Rock and Afghanistan. Do 1165 01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,000 Speaker 1: I think what Trump is doing is perfect. I think 1166 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,880 Speaker 1: that he's managing this process, but of course not. But 1167 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 1: on the fundamental question of is Syria are fight? I 1168 01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:09,880 Speaker 1: still stand very firmly in the corner of it is 1169 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,440 Speaker 1: not our fight. We do not want to be there 1170 01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 1: a day longer than we have to be, and I 1171 01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,559 Speaker 1: do not think we have to be there anymore. ISIS 1172 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,559 Speaker 1: is different? Could ISIS be resurgent? Yeah, of course they 1173 01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:23,840 Speaker 1: could be resurgent in Iraq too. Hopefully we've learned some 1174 01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,679 Speaker 1: lessons about what happened in Iraq. Although ISIS is getting 1175 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,360 Speaker 1: a whole other thing is the rise in Jehadism and 1176 01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:32,439 Speaker 1: and other things in Iraq. Right now, we're not even here, 1177 01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:36,200 Speaker 1: We're not hearing about that. It's never going away, folks, 1178 01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:37,880 Speaker 1: We're never going to win this thing, so we never 1179 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:39,920 Speaker 1: have to fight it again. We should accept that and 1180 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:45,439 Speaker 1: understand that instead of just allowing all this propaganda about 1181 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,439 Speaker 1: how Trump is terrible to overtake us. How concerned should 1182 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,439 Speaker 1: we be about abandoning an ally like the courage that 1183 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,640 Speaker 1: maybe twenty years down the road. This comes to I 1184 01:08:54,680 --> 01:09:01,000 Speaker 1: think sectarious state. Pompeo, the intelligence services, the foreign countries 1185 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,040 Speaker 1: that are working with us have it about right that 1186 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,479 Speaker 1: ISIS is not defeated. We have got to keep the 1187 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,639 Speaker 1: pressure on ISIS so they don't recover. We may want 1188 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,760 Speaker 1: a war over, we may even declare it over. You 1189 01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,200 Speaker 1: can pull your troops out, as President Obama learned the 1190 01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:19,040 Speaker 1: hard way out of Iraq. But the enemy gets to vote, 1191 01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,680 Speaker 1: we say in the military, and in this case, if 1192 01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:25,080 Speaker 1: we don't keep the pressure on, then ISIS will research. 1193 01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:29,280 Speaker 1: That's it's absolutely a given that they will come back. 1194 01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:35,559 Speaker 1: The same argument for Afghanistan, folks. Taliban's gonna be researching. 1195 01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,439 Speaker 1: Taliban is going to take over that country. So we 1196 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:41,720 Speaker 1: stay forever. That's it. There is no there is no 1197 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 1: reasonable future in which there's not the possibility of ISIS resurgence. 1198 01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,000 Speaker 1: Oh no, actually there is. You know what it's called 1199 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,680 Speaker 1: the Assad regime. As bloodthirsty and horrible as it is, 1200 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:54,799 Speaker 1: the Asad regime is in charge. Looks like that's what's happening. 1201 01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 1: So we got to pick our pathway here. At some point. 1202 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:00,679 Speaker 1: I know Mattis. People say he's a genius and he's brilliant. 1203 01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:02,760 Speaker 1: Well the genius just didn't manage to figure out a 1204 01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,519 Speaker 1: rock in Afghanistan. I don't think they're gonna figure this 1205 01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,559 Speaker 1: one out either. NBC News it's not having its best 1206 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:14,200 Speaker 1: week ever, folks. NBC News is looking like a place 1207 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 1: that has a lot of trouble. Well, we've known about 1208 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,919 Speaker 1: this for some time now, but this is in relation 1209 01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:26,599 Speaker 1: to the Ronan Pharaoh book Catch and Kill. And I've 1210 01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 1: said it before. Ronan Pharaoh had the single worst TV 1211 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,120 Speaker 1: I've ever seen on the worst TV show I've ever 1212 01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:35,960 Speaker 1: seen on cable news, literally the worst one I've It 1213 01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,479 Speaker 1: was like watching this Skybriday is like have a TV 1214 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:43,080 Speaker 1: show and just sort of good to read off supraptors 1215 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,799 Speaker 1: that it's two o'clack, So who's really watching this anyway? 1216 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,160 Speaker 1: And I look like they just pulled me out of 1217 01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:51,439 Speaker 1: a high school class and now they put me on TV. 1218 01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,519 Speaker 1: So here I am, and but I worked at the 1219 01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,920 Speaker 1: State Department for like six months, so I know some things. 1220 01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:02,080 Speaker 1: It's it was astonished bad. I mean, and by the way, no, 1221 01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:04,120 Speaker 1: no one really denies that. I mean, it was horrible. 1222 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 1: It was almost as bad as Hillary Clinton's on air 1223 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:10,160 Speaker 1: performance at NBC, where I'm sorry, Chelsea Clinton pardoned me 1224 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:14,280 Speaker 1: hello her performance at NBC NBC where she was making 1225 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,800 Speaker 1: the six or seven hundred K for being the worst 1226 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:22,720 Speaker 1: on air correspondent in the history of one air correspondence media. 1227 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:26,040 Speaker 1: What a business? What a business? I really should open 1228 01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,439 Speaker 1: like a I don't know, I was gonna say falafel stand, 1229 01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:32,200 Speaker 1: but maybe a hot dog stands something like that, just 1230 01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, capitalism business. But I'd open up like a 1231 01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:36,519 Speaker 1: suite of them, a whole bunch of them, and you know, 1232 01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 1: Papa Buck would find a way to make some money. 1233 01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 1: But NBC, okay, what's going on here? You got Rodan Faraoh, 1234 01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:49,800 Speaker 1: who is now the lead journalist i'd say, in the 1235 01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,840 Speaker 1: in the me Too movement era on that issue, even 1236 01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,839 Speaker 1: though he sold his credibility to try and take down Kavanaugh. 1237 01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:58,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he wrote that piece about Ramirez and it 1238 01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:00,839 Speaker 1: was a joke and it wasn't I mean, I shouldn't 1239 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:02,760 Speaker 1: say it wasn't funny, but I mean it was preposterous, 1240 01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:06,800 Speaker 1: and it was an obvious effort to leverage the brand 1241 01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:10,679 Speaker 1: that he had built as the meat you guy, the 1242 01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:14,760 Speaker 1: exposure of Harvey Weinstein as the predator that he is. 1243 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,400 Speaker 1: He leveraged that, which was good work. We do. We 1244 01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:21,120 Speaker 1: don't live in a fantasy world here. It was Harvey 1245 01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:25,519 Speaker 1: Weinstein needed to get got as they say, he needed 1246 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:29,640 Speaker 1: to be exposed. He people should have known about it, 1247 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,840 Speaker 1: and of course people covered it up for years and years. 1248 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 1: And power corrupts, and he was a powerful guy and 1249 01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 1: he was corrupting the people around him. One of the 1250 01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:42,080 Speaker 1: parts of that story that I still find we're going 1251 01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,720 Speaker 1: to find out more about, I should say, is that 1252 01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:49,160 Speaker 1: there had to be had to be a whole bunch 1253 01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,200 Speaker 1: of enablers along the way who were just never held accountable. 1254 01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:56,519 Speaker 1: They just would never told what was or they've never 1255 01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:01,320 Speaker 1: been brought up and made to answer for what happened there. 1256 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:04,559 Speaker 1: So the latest year is that this book Catching Kills 1257 01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:06,519 Speaker 1: coming out and it's I haven't been able to read 1258 01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:10,000 Speaker 1: it yet. I'm gonna say I'm gonna have to read it. Oh, 1259 01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:13,519 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to read it, I think, which means 1260 01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:16,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be adding to the take here, the take 1261 01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:18,840 Speaker 1: home pay for a Rodent Farrell in this book, I'm 1262 01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to read it. I'd be very curious to 1263 01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:27,400 Speaker 1: see how deep into the details of NBC brass he 1264 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:31,840 Speaker 1: goes with all of this. But here's what we know. 1265 01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,400 Speaker 1: That there was stuff that was happening at NBC that 1266 01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:41,080 Speaker 1: was way out of line. That there was a culture 1267 01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,599 Speaker 1: of one covering up for Harvey Weinstein, which I don't 1268 01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,519 Speaker 1: know how any executive could sleep at night having just 1269 01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,400 Speaker 1: the faintest idea about the sort of things that Weinstein 1270 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,519 Speaker 1: was up to. Democrat, by the way, big Democrat, you know, 1271 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,120 Speaker 1: I said that ever gets Harvey Weinstein, Democrat, friend of 1272 01:13:56,160 --> 01:14:00,320 Speaker 1: the Clinton's, friend of the Obamas, gave I think one 1273 01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:04,280 Speaker 1: of the Obama children a job an internship. So Harvey 1274 01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:09,360 Speaker 1: Weinstein's not just some guy. Harvey Weinstein was left wing 1275 01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:15,639 Speaker 1: Democrat media royalty. This guy was one of the most 1276 01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:20,000 Speaker 1: powerful figures in one of the most important areas of 1277 01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:24,640 Speaker 1: liberal dominance, which is entertainment media. Entertainment media. Look what 1278 01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:26,479 Speaker 1: I do every day, I inform people, we try to 1279 01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:30,679 Speaker 1: entertain you. But our megaphones in the news business are 1280 01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:35,200 Speaker 1: generally speaking much smaller than what you get with, especially 1281 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: with movies. Back in the nineties and the early two thousands, 1282 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,680 Speaker 1: when Weinstein was making some of his biggest films, you know, 1283 01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:43,639 Speaker 1: a big movie, you know, I feel like sometimes, how 1284 01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:46,040 Speaker 1: many of you saw Shakespeare in Love? Or how many 1285 01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:47,559 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think one of the one of the 1286 01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:49,800 Speaker 1: biggest Weinstein movie. He made a ton of big movies. 1287 01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:53,120 Speaker 1: I can't even think of them. But I saw Shakespeare 1288 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:54,640 Speaker 1: in Love. It was entertaining. It's a little corny, but 1289 01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:58,840 Speaker 1: it's entertaining at one instead of saving private Ryan though, 1290 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:04,280 Speaker 1: which wow, right, that strikes me. It's just outrageous. A 1291 01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:05,919 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of that decision making those absurd. 1292 01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,040 Speaker 1: It is true. I remember when what was a Colin 1293 01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:12,040 Speaker 1: Jost my old high school classmate, does it or was 1294 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:14,519 Speaker 1: that It made some comment about how it used to 1295 01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,600 Speaker 1: be the case that the best movies, the movies that 1296 01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:21,600 Speaker 1: everyone wanted to see, also have won Oscars. In the 1297 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:23,760 Speaker 1: last ten years, the movies that are getting nominated and 1298 01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:25,439 Speaker 1: winning Oscars, I've never even heard of these things, and 1299 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:29,400 Speaker 1: they're overwhelmingly trash and boring and just all about politics. 1300 01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:33,720 Speaker 1: They're glorified fictional editorials, all on the big screen, all 1301 01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:39,559 Speaker 1: on the silva screen movies. Man, what can you do? 1302 01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:42,120 Speaker 1: I am watching The Americans by the way, on Netflix, 1303 01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:44,360 Speaker 1: which I'm only a couple episodes into it. I started 1304 01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,240 Speaker 1: it once before I'm restarting. I'm gonna get through the 1305 01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:47,920 Speaker 1: whole thing, So I think I'm really gonna like it. 1306 01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:49,920 Speaker 1: All right, So Ronan Farrell, what do we know about 1307 01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:53,680 Speaker 1: based on what he's already told us, Well, there's some 1308 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:57,599 Speaker 1: very some very bad stuff going on at NBC. And 1309 01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:03,679 Speaker 1: now you have NBC News President Noah Oppenheim, who has 1310 01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:09,960 Speaker 1: been pushing back against the claims that have been made. Here, 1311 01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,720 Speaker 1: here we go. NBC News president pushed back against this. 1312 01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:18,000 Speaker 1: On Monday, one day before the book's release, Oppenheim told 1313 01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,320 Speaker 1: his staff in the memo obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, quote, 1314 01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:25,280 Speaker 1: Matt Lauer's actions were abhorrent, and the anger and sadness 1315 01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,160 Speaker 1: he caused continued to this day. As we've said since 1316 01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:31,280 Speaker 1: the moment he was fired, his abuses never should have happened. 1317 01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:34,600 Speaker 1: Ronand Pharaoh's book takes that undeniable fact and twists it 1318 01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 1: into a lie alleging we were a company with a 1319 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:40,439 Speaker 1: lot of secrets. We have no secrets and nothing to hide. 1320 01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,479 Speaker 1: Now that we've read Pharaoh's book, it's clear his smear 1321 01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,880 Speaker 1: rests on the allegations that NBC management knew about and 1322 01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:51,160 Speaker 1: took steps to hide Lower's misconduct before his firing. Without that, 1323 01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 1: he has no basis on which to rest his second 1324 01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:56,320 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory that his Harvey Weinstein reporting was squash up 1325 01:16:56,400 --> 01:17:00,559 Speaker 1: or tech Lauer. Pharaoh alleges there employees who report Lower's 1326 01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,400 Speaker 1: behavior prior to November of twenty seventeen and were paid 1327 01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:07,519 Speaker 1: settlements to silence them. Not only is this false, the 1328 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,840 Speaker 1: so called evidence Pharaoh uses in his book to support 1329 01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:14,760 Speaker 1: the charges collapse under the slightest scrutiny. The note goes 1330 01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:17,479 Speaker 1: on to share the NBC Universal Legal Team analysis that 1331 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,920 Speaker 1: only three examples that Pharaoh alleges are Laur related before 1332 01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen with even minimal detail, and they involve employees who, 1333 01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,800 Speaker 1: by their own admission, made no complaint to management and 1334 01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:32,200 Speaker 1: whose departure agreements were unrelated to Lauer and completely routine. 1335 01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,080 Speaker 1: Those three examples reference a woman who was named in 1336 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,840 Speaker 1: the book and who Pharaoh says shared the account of 1337 01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 1: for incident with then anchor Ann Curry, an on anchor 1338 01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:45,519 Speaker 1: personality who departed in twenty twelve and senior member of 1339 01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:47,600 Speaker 1: the Today Show team who departed in twenty seventeen with 1340 01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:54,640 Speaker 1: a seven figure payout. Folks, here's a simple wave just 1341 01:17:54,800 --> 01:18:00,840 Speaker 1: clarifying this. I do not believe for a second that 1342 01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:04,160 Speaker 1: NBC brass didn't know that Matt lower this stuff. Doesn't 1343 01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,200 Speaker 1: people know about this? They they spend all this time 1344 01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,280 Speaker 1: around this guy. They're paying this guy twenty five million 1345 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:14,920 Speaker 1: dollars a year for what Oh, because he's the franchise, 1346 01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:17,160 Speaker 1: all right. This is they're all taking care of each other. 1347 01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 1: The executives attached themselves to the talent. The talent attaches themselves. 1348 01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:25,240 Speaker 1: The executives they can, you know, justify whatever they want 1349 01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:26,760 Speaker 1: in terms of payment as long as it falls in 1350 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,760 Speaker 1: the overall budget of the show, even though they they could. 1351 01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:33,280 Speaker 1: Does anybody miss Matt Lauer? Oh no, what will we 1352 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:36,040 Speaker 1: do without Matt Lower to tell us about the best 1353 01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,719 Speaker 1: recipe for a feta and watermelon salad in the summer, 1354 01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:42,840 Speaker 1: and you know, then talk some real hard hitting politics 1355 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:45,280 Speaker 1: and then have a puppy run on stage. Oh, look 1356 01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:48,960 Speaker 1: at this season's great most popular puppy. The whole Morning 1357 01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,800 Speaker 1: show thing is it's like, it's just not for me. 1358 01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,040 Speaker 1: It's just not for me. I don't understand. I never watch. 1359 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:56,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen some of it, but it was 1360 01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:01,559 Speaker 1: never a Today Show watcher. I get at people want 1361 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,120 Speaker 1: to kind of ease into their day and it's kind 1362 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,519 Speaker 1: of lighting everything else. But twenty five million dollars a 1363 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:06,960 Speaker 1: year for that guy, I think I'm not even got up. 1364 01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,400 Speaker 1: At thirty. He was the highest paid man in news 1365 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,960 Speaker 1: for years and years. He had a button installed on 1366 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:18,160 Speaker 1: his desk to lock the door. The NBC brass didn't 1367 01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:20,599 Speaker 1: ever think that that was kind of weird. Oh oh, 1368 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:25,400 Speaker 1: because he needed security so badly. I think, think about 1369 01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,760 Speaker 1: how that would go. What's he go? I mean, if 1370 01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:30,120 Speaker 1: somebody were threatening him, He's gonna lock them in the 1371 01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:34,200 Speaker 1: office with him. It's a bit strange, isn't it. Oh No, 1372 01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:36,720 Speaker 1: someone's running on the office looking for Matt Lauer. At 1373 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:40,599 Speaker 1: least now he can press the weird creepy button under 1374 01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:42,880 Speaker 1: his desk, so then the person can't get I mean, 1375 01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:48,519 Speaker 1: come on, folks, come on, I told you. I used 1376 01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:50,839 Speaker 1: to hear just in the I heard in the grapevine. 1377 01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I just would hear rumors about laur with 1378 01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:56,360 Speaker 1: different staffers and everything else. And that was when I 1379 01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:58,200 Speaker 1: was very early in my media careers. Like, oh yeah, 1380 01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:03,599 Speaker 1: Matt Lower. Everybody knows this. Everyone Ask any woman who 1381 01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:06,400 Speaker 1: if particularly if she's under the age of thirty five 1382 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:09,400 Speaker 1: and works on any TV show. You know, if you 1383 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:11,519 Speaker 1: ask any if you know anybody, ask them if the 1384 01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:14,559 Speaker 1: host of the show is you know, if he's a dog, 1385 01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:16,599 Speaker 1: Ask if he's a guy that you can't trust from 1386 01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:21,080 Speaker 1: what they all know. They all know in the same 1387 01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:22,800 Speaker 1: way that they'll know that if if someone's a really 1388 01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,679 Speaker 1: good guy and respectful and professional and does their job 1389 01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:30,080 Speaker 1: and treats everybody well, and people know this stuff, I'll 1390 01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:34,240 Speaker 1: just tell you this. I'm wondering when I'm wondering when 1391 01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:35,639 Speaker 1: people are going to figure out some of the stuff 1392 01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:38,720 Speaker 1: that's gone on over at CNN. I don't have the 1393 01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:41,439 Speaker 1: goods otherwise I would, But I know, I know some 1394 01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,639 Speaker 1: rumors about some stuff. Do we really we really think 1395 01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 1: that this was only going on with lur and at 1396 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:50,479 Speaker 1: NBC we think it's CNN is remember NBC, MSNBC, they're 1397 01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, one is kind of there's just extensions of 1398 01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:57,280 Speaker 1: each other. We think CNN escape this. We know, Look, 1399 01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:58,960 Speaker 1: we know that Fox had to fire a lot of people, 1400 01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,120 Speaker 1: and there was a lot of suck erasment settlements there. 1401 01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:03,439 Speaker 1: And let's not we would never pretend that that was 1402 01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,519 Speaker 1: there wasn't some bad stuff and some bad things going on. 1403 01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 1: There absolutely was. But they clean house, They clean house 1404 01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:15,759 Speaker 1: over there, nothing at CNN. Huh hm. That's interesting because 1405 01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,840 Speaker 1: I've heard some things about some stuff. That's all I 1406 01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 1: can say. But I've heard some things about some stuff, 1407 01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:23,920 Speaker 1: and I tend to know I tend to be right 1408 01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:26,599 Speaker 1: when I hear those things. But is there anyone looking 1409 01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,760 Speaker 1: at it over there? No? Instead, what CNN has done 1410 01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:31,599 Speaker 1: is they've just tried to silence any dissenting voices inside 1411 01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:33,920 Speaker 1: or outside. They have people whose only job really is 1412 01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:37,479 Speaker 1: to just go on offense against anyone who's a danger 1413 01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:44,320 Speaker 1: to CNN's brand, a threat to the CNN, a CNN umbrella. 1414 01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:46,840 Speaker 1: But look, I hope that ronand Farrow is able to 1415 01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:50,679 Speaker 1: land some real punches here with this book, because this 1416 01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:55,080 Speaker 1: this is going on, the the covering up for power. Look, 1417 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,840 Speaker 1: they're powerful democrats, hours of democrat. These are all democrats. 1418 01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:02,640 Speaker 1: Why were they? Why was it being covered up in 1419 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,599 Speaker 1: this way, not just internally at NBC but elsewhere too, 1420 01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:10,040 Speaker 1: And why is it that Harvey Weinstein was able to 1421 01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:11,439 Speaker 1: get away with what he did as long as he 1422 01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:17,519 Speaker 1: did and in a fashion that's so aggressive and egregious that, 1423 01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:19,840 Speaker 1: once again, it's not possible. It is not credible. I 1424 01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:21,680 Speaker 1: want to talk about credible or not credible. It's not 1425 01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:26,000 Speaker 1: credible that NBC executives didn't know why what Matt Lauer 1426 01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:27,840 Speaker 1: was doing. It's not credible that a lot of people 1427 01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,280 Speaker 1: didn't know about Weinstein. In fact, we know that people 1428 01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,479 Speaker 1: did know, they just chose not to do anything about it. 1429 01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:34,840 Speaker 1: So I guess I got to add this to the 1430 01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:37,400 Speaker 1: stack catch and kill. I got to read about this one. 1431 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:39,680 Speaker 1: I don't know when I'll get to it. I'll get 1432 01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:45,840 Speaker 1: to it, hopefully relatively relatively soon. But one other thing 1433 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,640 Speaker 1: I wanted to point out that this just reminds me 1434 01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:54,960 Speaker 1: because I mentioned Kavanaugh before, Where are the where are 1435 01:22:54,960 --> 01:23:01,639 Speaker 1: the referrals currently about those who lie about Justice Kavanaugh 1436 01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:03,880 Speaker 1: to try to tear him down during his confirmation process? 1437 01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:07,160 Speaker 1: That's illegal, folks, that's illegal. We're talking about meet too. 1438 01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,559 Speaker 1: What about the fake me too? Which is what Kavanaugh 1439 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:14,400 Speaker 1: exposed the politicized Me Too Walstree Journal as a piece 1440 01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:16,360 Speaker 1: Today has Justice Sprent Kavanaugh neared a year in the 1441 01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:19,800 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. The anniversary was used to relitigate the unverified 1442 01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,879 Speaker 1: allegations against him. No news though regarding the four false 1443 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:29,040 Speaker 1: accusers whom the Senate referred for potential criminal inquiry. This week, 1444 01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:35,000 Speaker 1: nine Republicans asked the Justice Department for an update. These 1445 01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,720 Speaker 1: criminal referrals were not made lightly, says the letter saw 1446 01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm a GOP Senator's Chuck Grassley, Lindsay Graham, Mike lead, 1447 01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:44,240 Speaker 1: ted Cruz, John corn and Mike Crapo, Tom Tillis, John Kennedy, 1448 01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:47,960 Speaker 1: and Marsha Blackburn. One lurid tale was that a nineteen 1449 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,640 Speaker 1: eighty five young mister Kavanaugh assaulted a warmer assaulted a 1450 01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:57,439 Speaker 1: woman on a boat in Newport, Rhode Island. The accuser 1451 01:23:57,479 --> 01:24:01,639 Speaker 1: soon recanted, Yeah, but that's a problem. You're not allowed 1452 01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:03,519 Speaker 1: to lie, to try to destroy someone and then say whoop, 1453 01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:08,280 Speaker 1: sorry my bad. Two of the referrals relate to Michael Avanati, 1454 01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:10,639 Speaker 1: the lawyer now facing an April trial for ledge theft 1455 01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:14,080 Speaker 1: from Stormy Daniels. He and one of his clients told 1456 01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,759 Speaker 1: the Judiciary Committee to hit evidence that mister Kavanaugh participated 1457 01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:19,639 Speaker 1: in gang rape in women raping women in the nineteen eighties. 1458 01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:23,760 Speaker 1: A third Avanatti client purportedly signed a sworn statement saying 1459 01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:28,599 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh spiked party punch bowls with queludes. According to NBCs. 1460 01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,839 Speaker 1: He subsequently denied that and claimed, mister Avanati quote twisted 1461 01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,360 Speaker 1: my words, folks. These are lies told to Congress. These 1462 01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:37,479 Speaker 1: are crimes. What about what about rule of law? What 1463 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 1: about our democracy? These were crimes. These people committed crimes 1464 01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:44,919 Speaker 1: to try to help their side, the Democrats, to destroy Kavanaugh. 1465 01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:48,880 Speaker 1: Does the rule of law matter or does it not? 1466 01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:52,679 Speaker 1: Is this a serious country when it comes to breaking 1467 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:57,120 Speaker 1: the law or is it a partisan country? Well, for 1468 01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:00,760 Speaker 1: some reason, no updates, no further in formation, nothing to 1469 01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:04,360 Speaker 1: speak of here. I find that a problem, folks. There 1470 01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:09,919 Speaker 1: needs to be consequences for people who sign sworn statements 1471 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,599 Speaker 1: to destroy other human beings in violation of law. Brett 1472 01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:16,200 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh or anyone else for that matter. I'd like to 1473 01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,160 Speaker 1: know why there's been no movement on this. I'm curious. 1474 01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,519 Speaker 1: You could say it's no secret that we are meeting 1475 01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:26,439 Speaker 1: here today at a very perilous juncture across roads, one 1476 01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:30,920 Speaker 1: of extinction or opportunity. I am sad to report that 1477 01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:34,640 Speaker 1: there is no middle road on the climate crisis. We 1478 01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,920 Speaker 1: will either address the problem meaningfully and in accordance with 1479 01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:42,559 Speaker 1: scientific consensus, or we will not. The statement is not 1480 01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:45,839 Speaker 1: a matter of radicalism. It is a matter of fact. 1481 01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,880 Speaker 1: And many of the decisions we make, particularly as executives 1482 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:55,040 Speaker 1: and policy makers, will either contribute to destruction or preservation, 1483 01:25:55,840 --> 01:26:00,320 Speaker 1: and that contribution is measured in the form of emissions, 1484 01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:05,920 Speaker 1: injustice and inequality. That we must choose whether this moment 1485 01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:09,559 Speaker 1: will lead us to regression or evolution. All of this 1486 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:12,479 Speaker 1: means that rising to the challenge of the climate crisis 1487 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:16,640 Speaker 1: demands not only that we act meaningfully, but also that 1488 01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:22,000 Speaker 1: we change society. The two are inextricable, and meeting the 1489 01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:26,400 Speaker 1: climate crisis will require the largest economic mobilization we may 1490 01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:30,280 Speaker 1: have ever tried to pursue as a human species. And 1491 01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:32,880 Speaker 1: that is what a Green New Deal is all about. 1492 01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:40,120 Speaker 1: It's all crazy, that's for sure. Come on, folks, extinction, 1493 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:43,519 Speaker 1: extinction of the human race. This is a sitting member 1494 01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:47,720 Speaker 1: of Congress. Where are the people? Where's SNL on this one? 1495 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,520 Speaker 1: Why is anyone making fun of it. This is insane, 1496 01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:56,400 Speaker 1: This is lunacy, and yet she says it and thinks 1497 01:26:56,400 --> 01:27:00,920 Speaker 1: she sounds smart when she does it. The extinction versus 1498 01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:07,479 Speaker 1: opportunity will be measured with emissions, by emissions, justice and equality. Okay, 1499 01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,760 Speaker 1: if this really is the scientific crisis they say it is, 1500 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:13,040 Speaker 1: or the crisis rooted in scientific certainty that they say 1501 01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:16,040 Speaker 1: it is, what do emissions, justice and equality have to 1502 01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:19,599 Speaker 1: do with it? What's that got to do with any 1503 01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:22,720 Speaker 1: of this stuff. Emissions, clearly I get that part, But 1504 01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:29,280 Speaker 1: justice and equality? Why is climate change about equality? Oh, 1505 01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,280 Speaker 1: that's right, because this is all meant to be an 1506 01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:36,639 Speaker 1: excuse for a massive status authoritarian takeover based in the 1507 01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:40,880 Speaker 1: scientific consensus, to allow a government to form that would 1508 01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:44,880 Speaker 1: not just be supra national one world government, of course 1509 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:47,360 Speaker 1: that's the ultimate aim here, but also that could control 1510 01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:50,600 Speaker 1: any aspect of your life. And if you if you disagree, 1511 01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:56,000 Speaker 1: you are trying to destroy the planet. It's hard to 1512 01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:59,479 Speaker 1: think of a theory that is more bonkers and more 1513 01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,960 Speaker 1: terrified at the same time then what they are now 1514 01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:05,639 Speaker 1: advancing openly in public here in the Democratic Party AOC. 1515 01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:09,640 Speaker 1: What she's saying here, she's this is nuts, folks. Mandatory 1516 01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:12,479 Speaker 1: blackouts in California. You know, we were just talking a 1517 01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:17,200 Speaker 1: second ago about Okazio Cortez with We're all gonna go extinct. 1518 01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:20,320 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, omg, Like what are we gonna do? 1519 01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:23,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna go stink. It's so scary. And lets they 1520 01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:26,000 Speaker 1: can like control all the things and like and that, 1521 01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:28,080 Speaker 1: like get rid of the electoral college because it's like 1522 01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:31,360 Speaker 1: the worst college ever. There's no pier, there are no CAGs, 1523 01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:35,559 Speaker 1: there's like no frat parties. Yeah, listen to that person 1524 01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,200 Speaker 1: about what we should do with the with trillions of 1525 01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,720 Speaker 1: dollars of wealth and the direction of the global and 1526 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:45,560 Speaker 1: US economy with it. She knows what she's talking about. Folks. Wow, 1527 01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:51,080 Speaker 1: going off the rails of a crazy train via the 1528 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,120 Speaker 1: Green New Deal. That is what is happening. But California 1529 01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:58,479 Speaker 1: has turned into a laboratory of left wing insanity. It 1530 01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:00,240 Speaker 1: is a one party state and it is really the 1531 01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:03,360 Speaker 1: model of what the Democrats would like to achieve in 1532 01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:06,360 Speaker 1: the whole country. And they think they can do it 1533 01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:09,519 Speaker 1: in part through the legalization of illegals to change the 1534 01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:11,880 Speaker 1: electorate forever. People say, oh, but illegals can't vote, Well 1535 01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:13,720 Speaker 1: if they're legalized, guess what you know, what happens after 1536 01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:15,720 Speaker 1: they're all legalized, the people are gonna say, well, they 1537 01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:19,080 Speaker 1: should also have a way to become citizens. And even 1538 01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,280 Speaker 1: if they don't become citizens, then also their children, as 1539 01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:24,840 Speaker 1: we know through birthright citizenship, are immediately citizens. And look 1540 01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:27,559 Speaker 1: if my parents were illegals, and then one political party 1541 01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,439 Speaker 1: is like, no, they didn't break the law. They're totally 1542 01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:32,560 Speaker 1: allowed in this country. They're the heart and soul of 1543 01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,800 Speaker 1: the American dream. People love their parents. I'd want to 1544 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:37,960 Speaker 1: vote for the party that said that too, and not 1545 01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,280 Speaker 1: the party that said, yeah, maybe maybe breaking laws and 1546 01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:43,680 Speaker 1: skipping the immigration line and all that is something that 1547 01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:47,760 Speaker 1: we shouldn't advocate for human nature being what it is. 1548 01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:51,680 Speaker 1: I understand that, but one party state in California has 1549 01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:57,960 Speaker 1: not worked out that well for the Californians. And the 1550 01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:01,439 Speaker 1: most recent example of this is the PG and E, 1551 01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 1: which I think was the name of I think that's 1552 01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:06,800 Speaker 1: the utility company from Aaron Brockovich too, right. I think 1553 01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:09,000 Speaker 1: it's the same the one that Aaron Brockovich goes after. 1554 01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:13,000 Speaker 1: Very interesting if you ever are curious, read about the 1555 01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:18,479 Speaker 1: cancer clusters that Aaron Brockovich, hero of the trial lawyers 1556 01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:21,120 Speaker 1: and democrats across the country. And of course, from the 1557 01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:23,080 Speaker 1: movie with Julia Robert all anyone knows in the movie 1558 01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:25,200 Speaker 1: find out that you'll find that the cancer clusters that 1559 01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:28,519 Speaker 1: she established are no more prevalent than the national norm, 1560 01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:30,640 Speaker 1: meaning that, yeah, people get cancer. They get cancer all 1561 01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:34,720 Speaker 1: over the country. It's a terrible thing. But why is 1562 01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:38,439 Speaker 1: it anyway, The science behind all that stuff is something 1563 01:30:38,479 --> 01:30:40,439 Speaker 1: that'll be interesting to look into. National Review did some 1564 01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:43,160 Speaker 1: good work on this. But you know, people want to 1565 01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:45,400 Speaker 1: believe in heroes, and I get it, so they don't 1566 01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:47,439 Speaker 1: really No one really wants to dig too far into that. 1567 01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:51,200 Speaker 1: But PG and EAS the utility company in California, and 1568 01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:54,240 Speaker 1: here's where things stand. It's poorly run, which is not surprising. 1569 01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:58,240 Speaker 1: There's all kinds of environmental regulations and as we know, 1570 01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:00,920 Speaker 1: California has been hit with these terrible wilf wildfires. People 1571 01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:03,840 Speaker 1: are dyeing the wildfires, losing their homes in it, and 1572 01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,840 Speaker 1: so now the state of California has whole sections of 1573 01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:11,720 Speaker 1: it that go into a mandatory blackouts. They turn off 1574 01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:15,679 Speaker 1: the power for hours and hours at a time if 1575 01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:19,280 Speaker 1: there's two if the wind is too high. The problem 1576 01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:20,960 Speaker 1: being here that if the wind is too high, there's 1577 01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:24,920 Speaker 1: the possibility of branches or trees falling, falling on power lines. 1578 01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 1: Falling power lines cause fires. Then the brush and debris 1579 01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:33,000 Speaker 1: clearing situation, the forestry situation in California is terrible for 1580 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,479 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of reasons, and you get these big fires, 1581 01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:39,280 Speaker 1: and instead of dealing with what why are the fires 1582 01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:41,240 Speaker 1: worse now? What's been happening? They just say, oh, it's 1583 01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:45,759 Speaker 1: climate change. It's not climate change. Just stop with that crap. 1584 01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,080 Speaker 1: People say this stuff, they say it, they get mad 1585 01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:49,680 Speaker 1: at you, they say, okay, show me the evidence, and 1586 01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:54,559 Speaker 1: then there's no evidences. They put the scientists, but the scientists, 1587 01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:56,920 Speaker 1: it's not an argument, as much as I know libs 1588 01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,879 Speaker 1: like to pretend that it is. But you have these 1589 01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:05,280 Speaker 1: rolling blackouts now in California, which for those of you you 1590 01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,040 Speaker 1: like me who have spent considerable amounts of time in 1591 01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:10,320 Speaker 1: what is known as the developing were the Third World, 1592 01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 1: that's just a fact of life in a lot of places, 1593 01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:15,720 Speaker 1: including major cities like oh Powers going out for a 1594 01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,120 Speaker 1: few hours. Why because they've got a crappy power grid 1595 01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:20,880 Speaker 1: and not enough power generation going on, so all of 1596 01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:22,560 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're just in darkness. It's like, well, I 1597 01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:24,960 Speaker 1: guess we can't work for a few hours. And it's 1598 01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:31,719 Speaker 1: always a really a signals to you how efficient an economy, 1599 01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:34,720 Speaker 1: how efficient a government is, when they just say, yeah, 1600 01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:35,880 Speaker 1: I guess we're gonna be in the dark for a 1601 01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:39,519 Speaker 1: few hours because we can't figure this out. That now 1602 01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:42,120 Speaker 1: happens in California, which is the fifth If it were 1603 01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:44,240 Speaker 1: a country, it will be the fifth largest economy in 1604 01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:49,000 Speaker 1: the world on its own and is the home to 1605 01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:53,920 Speaker 1: probably more high tech, world class high tech startups than 1606 01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:58,000 Speaker 1: any other place in the world. And the power goes out, 1607 01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:01,360 Speaker 1: they can't keep the light. They literally can't keep the 1608 01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:03,920 Speaker 1: lights on the whole seconds to California. Now, to this, 1609 01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:05,720 Speaker 1: you always have people pointing out. They'll say, oh, but 1610 01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:07,760 Speaker 1: California is such a wealthy state and so many people 1611 01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:12,519 Speaker 1: still live there. Yeah. But as I've been telling everybody, 1612 01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:18,320 Speaker 1: California has only been a Democrat looney bin for about 1613 01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:20,599 Speaker 1: twenty to thirty years now, depending on how you want 1614 01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:23,760 Speaker 1: to gage it. Really it's changed. California was a reliably 1615 01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:28,799 Speaker 1: Republican state until the eighties, at least in national elections. 1616 01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:33,519 Speaker 1: It has changed recently and dramatically. And you know, one 1617 01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:35,519 Speaker 1: of the things that you see when you look at 1618 01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:41,400 Speaker 1: how central planning and state control of an economy and overregulation. 1619 01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:45,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't fail all at once, It doesn't fail overnight. 1620 01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:48,679 Speaker 1: It takes time. So those who point to California and say, 1621 01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:50,479 Speaker 1: but look at it. It's such a populous state, at 1622 01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:53,519 Speaker 1: such a wealthy state. Yes, but people moved there and 1623 01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:56,840 Speaker 1: we're living there and choosing to go there before all 1624 01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:59,920 Speaker 1: the crazy stuff was happening. Now. In fact, California on 1625 01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:03,040 Speaker 1: net is losing population, losing population in places like Nevada 1626 01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:07,200 Speaker 1: and Texas. The tax burden is very very high, as 1627 01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:10,439 Speaker 1: we know, and once you're in a state, it becomes 1628 01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:12,599 Speaker 1: very hard for a lot of companies to relocate out 1629 01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:15,320 Speaker 1: of this state. And so there is a degree of 1630 01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:18,640 Speaker 1: they can milk the cow, so to speak, for a 1631 01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:23,040 Speaker 1: long time they had a very fat, very happy cow 1632 01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:27,760 Speaker 1: in California. I'm really belaboring this analogy. But it takes 1633 01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:30,240 Speaker 1: a while before you run out of milk. It takes 1634 01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:35,360 Speaker 1: a while before you see how destructive the government policies are. 1635 01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:39,519 Speaker 1: Because you have accumulations of wealth and population and some 1636 01:34:39,600 --> 01:34:44,800 Speaker 1: degree of statewide just cohesiveness, cohesion among people about how 1637 01:34:44,840 --> 01:34:46,120 Speaker 1: they lived in line with what they want to do. 1638 01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:49,280 Speaker 1: California is incredibly rich and natural resources, incredibly rich, and 1639 01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:53,479 Speaker 1: well just rich as a state, and yet there's a 1640 01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:57,599 Speaker 1: real feeling that it's destroying itself. And they never learn 1641 01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:02,840 Speaker 1: the lessons that they always have some external some external 1642 01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:06,360 Speaker 1: person or organization or something of Trump obviously, but other 1643 01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:08,599 Speaker 1: things that they'll point to as why they have Why 1644 01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:12,120 Speaker 1: is the homelessness population exploding there? Why can't they keep 1645 01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:16,000 Speaker 1: the lights on? Why are they having droughts? This is 1646 01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:20,680 Speaker 1: all bad management. These are all decisions made by the 1647 01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:22,639 Speaker 1: government at the state of California and at the state 1648 01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,960 Speaker 1: and local level, and they just pretend that there's no 1649 01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:28,320 Speaker 1: lesson to be learned, that there's no problem. They're wrong. 1650 01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:31,880 Speaker 1: What they are doing is slowly destroying was one of 1651 01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:34,759 Speaker 1: the most beautiful and really most incredible states in the country. 1652 01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,519 Speaker 1: And just as socialist do in so many places, as 1653 01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:41,400 Speaker 1: stateist do in so many places, they keep telling you 1654 01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:44,320 Speaker 1: that everything's fine as they're destroying and blaming everybody else. 1655 01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:46,960 Speaker 1: And by the time we figure out how messed up 1656 01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:49,880 Speaker 1: it really is, it's too late to change it. That's 1657 01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:52,400 Speaker 1: what I think we're heading to with that state. You're 1658 01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:56,200 Speaker 1: going to see real disasters happening there, disasters of government 1659 01:35:56,840 --> 01:36:03,520 Speaker 1: failure and the latest round of power outages, blackouts, intentional blackouts. 1660 01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:07,120 Speaker 1: Here's just another example of state can't get it, can't 1661 01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:09,599 Speaker 1: get its act together, doesn't know what it's doing. Like 1662 01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:13,400 Speaker 1: soft butter on warm toast. Time to spread some freedom 1663 01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:26,160 Speaker 1: coast to coast.

You'll make millennials happy.
