Speaker 1: slash buck Sexton, or on the Twitter at buck Sexton. So,

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: I I had some expectations today for how the how

19
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: the news cycle would go, and they got a little bit, uh,

20
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: a little bit changed up, which can often happen. First,

21
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: let me say we will talk later in the show

22
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: about the Grammys and about Hillary. What had happened. She's

23
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: gonna come back. That's right, She's been a while, everybody,

24
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: but Hillary is going to make a special kind of

25
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: sort of appearance on the show. Not really, but you

26
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean, we'll have some Hillary time together.

27
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: Get excited for that. A lot of things to get into, um,

28
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: but I figured today it would most sleepy preparing the

29
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: ground for the State of the Union address, because that's

30
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: what is happening tomorrow, and for journalists it's so exciting

31
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: the State of the Union, which I would know. You know, look,

32
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch it, I'm gonna analyze it. We'll talk

33
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: about it here for sure. But most of the journalists

34
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: out there already know what they think of the speech.

35
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: They they hate Trump and they won't like his speech,

36
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: so they'll have to get some they'll say, well, you know,

37
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: he's sort of sounded presidential, but there was a lot

38
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: of factual and accuracies. That's what they're gonna say. I

39
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: had a premonition that we would spend much of our

40
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: time today just doing the the legwork, the ahead of

41
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: State of the Union speech, propagandizing from both sides that

42
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: you can expect when there's about to be a big

43
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: presidential speech. But then something else got a little bit,

44
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of a changeup. All of a sudden,

45
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: we find out that the FBI deputy director, the number two,

46
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: Andy McCabe, he is out at the bureau. And I

47
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: was watching this. It happened right before the White House

48
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: West wing press, you know that the press briefing, right

49
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: and you could tell that it was funny to go with.

50
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: I was watching Fox and they're like, oh, wow, you know,

51
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: the FBI breaking news. The FBI deputy director has stepped down,

52
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: and was, Oh, what's going on with that? And then

53
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: I just for for giggles, I flipped over to CNN,

54
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: and there you had Wolf Blitzer with his usual somewhat

55
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: blank stare into the into the screen of the cameras.

56
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: But all these different other journalists and you know, anchors

57
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: and pundits and all this stuff that they put on

58
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: over at TOE and you could tell there was a

59
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: little sense of oh my gosh, like a little bit

60
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: of a panic. This isn't this isn't supposed to happen.

61
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: Because the number two at the FBI was set to

62
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: retire in a matter of a few weeks. Anyway, I

63
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: know he's getting to his thirty year or his twenty

64
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: five year, I don't know what it. What it was,

65
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: it's the end. You know, he's able to get a

66
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: full pension, full retirement. See, government employees, as an aside,

67
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: still get pensions. The rest of us. It's like Social

68
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: Security and whatever, you've saved your four oh one k,

69
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: good luck. That tends to be the case. Government employees

70
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: still get defined contributions that tend to be very nice,

71
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: especially on the healthcare side. But I digressed. So McCabe

72
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: steps down, and there was this oh moment of this

73
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: wasn't a part of the narrative. This wasn't supposed to happen.

74
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: You know, they weren't really ready for this one in

75
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: the halls and the corridors of mainstream media power. This

76
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: wasn't already leaked to them, wasn't on their radar yet,

77
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: and so they were trying to position this. I did

78
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: like watching in real time Jim Acosta, who often confuses

79
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: hey ask the Press secretary of question with Hey, I'm

80
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: Jim Acosta. I'm gonna give a monologue now, and why

81
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Trump is bad and pretend it's a question. But a

82
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: Costa was right before the Press secretary came out, he

83
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 1: was processing this information about the deputy the deputy director

84
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: of the FBI, Andy McCabe, stepping down, although we find

85
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: out now and he's actually was told to step down,

86
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: like you need to go now. We'll get into that

87
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: one second. But it was It was amazing and hilarious

88
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: and a little scary at the same time. To watch

89
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: a Costa. I'll be like, well, yes, you know, they're

90
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: the my sources are telling me that the FBI director

91
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: has stepped down. But as it turns out, there's also

92
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: the Mueller probe and Trump and maybe Jlai under oath,

93
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, Russia collusion and have I

94
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, I just brought in all these other things.

95
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: It was like you could tell, you know, the circuitry

96
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: had run into a little bit of trouble. You no

97
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: say that and cannot compute. They did not like that

98
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: the FBI deputy director, the number two at the Federal

99
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: Bureer of Investigation, was stepping down, but a few weeks

100
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: before he set to retire. The initial and then they

101
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: went through the iterations of well, how do we make

102
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: this look as not a big deal as possible, right,

103
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: how do we make this? And they were first saying

104
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: that it was scheduled anyway, and so this is just

105
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: a few weeks earlier, and that was you could tell

106
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: that was the I saw this on social media too.

107
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: That's the story they're running with, you know, all right, Yeah,

108
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: he was gonna stop anywhere. That's fine, you'd ask yourself, though,

109
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: very reasonably. Hold Wait, hold on a second, he's gonna

110
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: be out in a few weeks. Okay, I'll buy that.

111
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: I take that. That's fine. Right. You can't falsify your

112
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: thirty year or your twenty five year or whatever it is.

113
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: The FBI, we know if he if he if he's

114
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: reaches thirty and he wants to get out, makes sense.

115
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: But if it were just a question of doing what

116
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: was expedient, what was easy, why would why would the

117
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: FBI director step down a deputy director stepped down a

118
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: few weeks before he's going to be done anyway. I mean,

119
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with federal bureaucracy, my friends, from firsthand experience.

120
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, if you want to kind of

121
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: fly low and slow, stay under the radar, not hard

122
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: to do. Now he becomes his own news cycle for

123
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: twenty four hours or so, maybe longer, well until the

124
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: State of the Union tomorrow. Probably Now everyone's like, oh, well, okay,

125
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: what happened here, and the story about how he stepped

126
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: down because he just didn't want to deal with this

127
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: anymore quickly ran into some trouble because the new FBI Director,

128
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: Christopher Ray just went and saw that finds an abuse

129
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: memo that we've been told about now for a couple

130
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: of weeks, and the next day told according to all

131
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: the sources that are now up to date on this one,

132
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: and the latest information, Old McCabe, you're done, You're you're

133
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: out now. The storyline from the CNN left wing echo

134
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: chamber is, well, you know, in response to in response

135
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: two Trump's attacks on the FBI, Trump is attacking our institutions.

136
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: Oh good, heavens, everyone's just pearl clutching and so upset

137
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: there his attacking institutions. Oh no, well, actually, Director Ray

138
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: of the FBI has hinted that the report from the

139
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: FBI Inspector General may have played a role in McCabe

140
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: getting getting the boot, because think about it from Ray's standpoint,

141
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: right for and there was also an earlier news report.

142
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: And by the way, the media hates the internet right

143
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: the the the mainstream media hates the Internet insofar as

144
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: it is a means of of checking in fact checking them.

145
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: Go back a little while, you'll see there was a

146
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: story about how Ray offered to or threatened to resign

147
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: the FBI director. Forget if it was the post of

148
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: the Times, is one of them the FBI director would

149
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: resign if they were if if Trump had the temerity

150
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: two try to fire them, or tell you know that

151
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: have the FBI to fire whatever, right he was gonna say,

152
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: you can't fire McCabe, and Ray was willing to fall

153
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: on his sword, so to speak, for that. Well, that's

154
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: a long way away from Ray the FBI director actually

155
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: telling McCabe is number two. You gotta go now, not

156
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: in a few weeks when you're scheduled to go now.

157
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: There's only one conclusion that I can come to from

158
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: all of this, and I'm not saying that it's the

159
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: right one, because there could be more information. We're working

160
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: with imperfect information, and at the center are of all

161
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: of this is the memo. But you got to think

162
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: that this FBI d O J. Fis an abuse memo

163
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: has got some pretty damaging stuff in it, that it's

164
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: gonna hurt, it's gonna hit hard, and that some of

165
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: the folks inside those institutions at the very top, Remember,

166
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: not talking about FBI field agents, who are you know,

167
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: locking up MS thirteen and taking care of you know,

168
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: cyber criminals and all that stuff. Right, We're not talking

169
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: about them. We're talking about the top echelon of the

170
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: executive level of these organizations. But some of those individuals

171
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: now seem to have come into the understanding, they've come

172
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: into the light of you know, this memo is going

173
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: to come out one way or another. And instead of

174
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: just kicking and screaming and fighting to prevent transparency, which

175
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: is what's going on right now, instead of saying the

176
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: American people don't have a right to know whether one

177
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: political party weaponize the intelligence apparatus of our government against

178
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: another political party in a presidential election year, instead of

179
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: hiding that information, don't you think that it would be

180
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: better if we were just allowed to see it. Some

181
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: of the folks that are involved here may have realized that,

182
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, what we better get ready or what's gonna

183
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: hit and what's going to hit soon, instead of pretending

184
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: that it's not going to instead of dragging our feet

185
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: and delaying. And perhaps that is why you had McCabe

186
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: pushed out now, because in a sense, FBI Director Ray

187
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: may have done his number two, Andy mccabea which favor,

188
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be a lot easier for him to

189
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: deal with the fallout if he has already been told

190
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: you know it's coming, You better get your lawyers ready,

191
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: you better batten down the hatches, my friend, then to

192
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: just let him stay in office and get blindsided by

193
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: it on whichever day it all comes out. And I

194
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: can see right now with Shift and some of these

195
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: other Democrat members of the Intelligence Committee, I can see

196
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: that they're a little worried too. Um, you've got the

197
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee set to vote on the release of this memo.

198
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: Why should we not see it? What is the argument

199
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: against and what is the argument for? I understand classified

200
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: information very well. I've spent a lot of years and

201
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: a lot of time reading through classified all day. I

202
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: will take you through the arguments that the left is

203
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: making here and the desperation of the Democrats to prevent

204
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: you from finding out what really happened. Because they are

205
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: left with nothing else at this point. They are left

206
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: with flailing and whining and pleading and cajoling and threatening

207
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, we need to

208
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: find out the truth, and the only way we can

209
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: get there is if we see what is in the memo.

210
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: Release the memo. It's being considered right now. Actually the

211
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: House Intelligence Committee is thinking about it as we speak.

212
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: So we will get into this a bit more and

213
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: also talk some about immigration in the on the eve

214
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: of the State of the Union address. Your thoughts is

215
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: always welcome, my friends, my fellow patriots. Eight four four buck,

216
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: eight four four n eight to five. Do you think McCabe,

217
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: this is just this is just the big inning of

218
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: many bad days for the former FBI number two. What

219
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: do you think I'm gett into that more? Stay with me.

220
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I got some breaking news for all of you.

221
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: It literally just happened. I was I was telling you

222
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: that they're considering it. The vote is we're about to

223
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: find out, and we just got to hear from the

224
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: Democrats who are very shad faces during the Democrats very

225
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: shad You're looking very shad Democrats because the Republicans voted

226
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: to push through Reblicans. On the House Intelligence Committee, on

227
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: party line vote, I voted to release the Class of

228
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: Fine Fies memo. Oh man, that's it's better be good.

229
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be really good because let's just

230
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: put this out there. Democrats, I mean, I'm generalizing here,

231
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: they don't really care all that much about national security

232
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: information making it out into the public sphere when it

233
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: serves their interests right there, tend to be pretty fine

234
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: with that. Um as we know from Hillary, they're not

235
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: particularly cautious with it. Why if this memo is not

236
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: a big deal, if it isn't damning about what was

237
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: done by the senior folks at DJ and FBI and

238
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: trying to stop the Trump administration, trying to stop President

239
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: Trump from becoming the president, why not say all right, fine,

240
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: we'll call your bluff. Republicans, We're gonna we're gonna we're

241
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: gonna call your bluff, release it, and then well and

242
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: then we'll fight it out in public. They're really going

243
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: to pretend that the sources and methods in this are

244
00:15:53,520 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: so sensitive. Police, that's laughable. Trey Goudy, Devin noon Az.

245
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: These are people who understand what's classified and what is not.

246
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: They're not trying to get information out there that would

247
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: be so harmful. Let me just put this out there

248
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: to everybody. If the information is as follows FIES a

249
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: warrant based on Fusion GPS was granted, and the following

250
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: Trump affiliated people were it did in fact have their

251
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: communications monitored, how is that information? That information in some

252
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: in some way, in some parts has already been released

253
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: to the press when it was damaging to Trump. That's

254
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: how we found out about the surveillance and the wire

255
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: tapping and the FIES at all. This Remember it was

256
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: through leaks. Who do we think was leaking that information?

257
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: Probably senior people at d j N, FBI, but maybe

258
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: also some Democrats in Congress. But what would be the

259
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: damage to national security from that? What would be the

260
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: damage two sources and methods m knowing who in the

261
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: Trump team was surveiled and the Fusion GPS was in

262
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: fact the basis for the answer is there's no damaged

263
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: national security. There's damage to the Democrat Party. That's what

264
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: they're worried about. That's what this is all about. They're

265
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: trying to protect their political power, They're trying to save

266
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: their partisan butts on this one. How do they ever

267
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: recover from this if this memo is as advertised? Look

268
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: at I'm gonna go through the process with you in

269
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: a moment of what's coming up here, And well, I'll

270
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: let you hear from some of the You know that

271
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: this guy Shift by the way, this Democrat in the

272
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: House of Talents Committee, he just it just seems like

273
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: a soulless snake of a politician, I mean, just not

274
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: a good guy. Comes across as deeply disingenuous. But why

275
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: can't we know the facts here? Why can't we know

276
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: the truth? I thought this, We've got all these investigations

277
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: going on all how is there a way that the

278
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: information that may be released here could be so damaging

279
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: and also false? If it's false, then Democrats who also

280
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: have access to the memo and the House Intelligence Committee,

281
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: who have also been able to read it, you can say,

282
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: well that's not true. What are they so worried about? Oh,

283
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: it lacks the context. Well, then give us some of

284
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: the context, some of the additional context. I'd like to

285
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: know what that would be. This is this is a

286
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,239
Speaker 1: moment of reckoning for the Democrats. I think that this

287
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: is going to be a tough one for a lot

288
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: of the mainstream news outlets to handle too. Don't get

289
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: me wrong, they're gonna they're gonna circle the wagons there.

290
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: This is not going to be the end, right, this

291
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: is not gonna be Okay, we were wrong. Hey, America,

292
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: we've been lying to you about Trump administration, but Russia

293
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: collusion and all that stuff. We've just been running with

294
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 1: this crazy story. And not only is it not true,

295
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: but the much bigger and more important story was the

296
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: biggest political scandal of my lifetime, which is the Hillary

297
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: Clinton machine and apparatus, which was the media and yes,

298
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: a deep state element within the federal government use some

299
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: of the most sensitive and powerful tools at the federal

300
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: government's government's disposal in a dishonest attempt to smear and

301
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: destroy Donald Trump and his presidency. This could be really good.

302
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: I think it is. I was skeptical at first, but

303
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: the more I see these democrats on TV, I see something.

304
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: Right now. I see Adam Schiff right now on the

305
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: TV screen, and he looks like, oh man, it's gonna

306
00:19:46,280 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: be a bad day. He's holding the line for America.

307
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton his back. A very sad day. I think

308
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: in the history of this committee. As I said to

309
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: my committee colleagues during this hearing, sadly we can fully

310
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: expect that the President United States will not put the

311
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: national interest over his own personal interest. But it is

312
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: a sad day, indeed, when that is also true of

313
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: our own committee, because today this committee voted to put

314
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: the president's personal interest, perhaps their own political interest, above

315
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: the national interest. And of Adam Schiff giving you a

316
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: casion of the war war because he did not like that.

317
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: The Intelligence Committee, the House Intelligence Committee, has voted to

318
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: release the memo an important part of this and this

319
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: this also tells you a lot that this is going

320
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: on right. But just keep in mind, because I've been

321
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: seeing some people, Oh, I'm a national security animalst for whatever,

322
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: and they're running around with this notion that that the

323
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: FBI can't weigh in, that the executive branch has no say.

324
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: It's actually not true. This is a four page long memo, everybody.

325
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: It's not that big. Okay, this isn't this isn't war

326
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: in peace in terms of the size of the the

327
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: volume here. This is not some magnum opus. This is

328
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: just four page memo about something. I think we all

329
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: know what that's something is fise abuse concerns over five abuse.

330
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: But the executive branch will have the ability to weigh in.

331
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: The FBI will have the ability to tell the President,

332
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, we don't think they should be released for X,

333
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: Y or Z. So what is really the objection? Now?

334
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: You take out Akam's razor here, my friends, and use

335
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: it like a chainsaw. I mean, just go after what

336
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: are they really trying to say? Why is Adam ship

337
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: so upset? Is he really claiming that his that his

338
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: congressional colleagues are being reckless with national security information? Is there?

339
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: Is there really the claim he's making If there wasn't

340
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: something profound in this memo, why would they do that?

341
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: If there was an information that we absolutely we the

342
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: American people, citizens of this country deserve to know, need

343
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: to know, have a right to know. Why go through

344
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: all this? What is all the hubbub about? And yet

345
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: Democrats voted against its release? You have to figure the

346
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: only reason they would do that is so that they

347
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: are on record against it being out there in public,

348
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: so that when they are attacking it, they can at

349
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: least say, well, we didn't even want this to be released.

350
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 1: Not that that really has all that much meaning, but

351
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: other wise it's just nonsensical. I would just like to

352
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: know what the real objection is. I mean, Adam Schiff

353
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: is leading the charge here for Democrats on this one.

354
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: They can't find somebody with a little more gravitas and

355
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: that partisan, leaking, dishonest member of the left wing Congress

356
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: or the left wing of Congress. I just don't understand

357
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: how we're supposed to make this all go away. What's

358
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: really the answer here that they're giving us. Oh, this

359
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: memo should just be locked in the basement and no

360
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: one should ever get to talk about it or see it. Really,

361
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that I think could happen here. Look,

362
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: this is I want to be very clear. Some of

363
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: what I'm saying to you is speculation informed by analysis

364
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: and facts. Because I haven't seen this memo. No one

365
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: that I know has seen this memo. It is also

366
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: noteworthy that the people who have seen it are not

367
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: leaking information from it yet, because I think they wanted

368
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: to all be out there so we can all discuss it.

369
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: They don't want to play this game, which is what

370
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: the Democrats have been doing all along with the Russia

371
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: collusion investigation, which is just put out the stuff that

372
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: you want to put out, even if it's illegal. Put

373
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: out leaks, you know, forget about going through a process.

374
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 1: Put out leaks that are a violation of federal law.

375
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: But if it hurts the Trump administration, fine, And we've

376
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: been given pieces of information on the administration that are damaging,

377
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: and now we have a moment where we can actually see, well,

378
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: how did all this come come to pass? What's the

379
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: situation here? And they just don't want they don't want

380
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: us to know. What are we to make of this

381
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: other than they are flatly and truly a pack of

382
00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: dishonest partisans and liars Democrats side of House Intelligence Committee.

383
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what else we could say. I've listened

384
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: to their arguments. Their arguments are garbage. There is no

385
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: argument that is made in good faith against the release

386
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: of the memo. There's it's not compromising national security, it's

387
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: not compromising sources and methods. If it did so, then

388
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: the scandal would be the Republicans who wanted to release it. Right,

389
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: we all know this. I want this to be public

390
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: so I can see it and say, oh, yeah, there's

391
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: nothing here in terms of sources and methods. So that

392
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: was all just a bunch of nonsense. It's a smoke

393
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: screen delaying tactic. The other objection is what that the FBI. Oh,

394
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: that's great. Let's leave it up to the FBI whether

395
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: the actions of senior the senior most echelon of the

396
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: FBI were akin to a stealth coup by intelligence community action.

397
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: Let's leave it up to them to see if they

398
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: want that information to be public. I think that's what

399
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: the Democrats are trying to tell you. Let them call

400
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: their all, call their own balls and strikes on this one.

401
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: You know they'll be honest with you. Sure. So there's that.

402
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 1: That's I guess you could say another another component of this.

403
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a single objection ant that I said.

404
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: You know what, that makes sense. I really want to

405
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: see what the president, I mean, what the president tweets out.

406
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's gonna have to have a little discipline

407
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: at this one. I want to see what the president

408
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: tweets out. When this all comes comes together, we can

409
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: see this House is voter to release. It's gonna have

410
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: five days for the White House and other folks in

411
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: the executive branch, including the FBI, to have their objections hurt,

412
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: and then it's gonna be out there. We're gonna see,

413
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna see. This is the kind of thing that

414
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: could bring down a network. I think could definitely end careers.

415
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's gonna go to prison over it,

416
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: but we'll see. Randy and Mississippi, I know you've got

417
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: some thoughts on the fis use memo. What's up my friend? Hey,

418
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: Mr Sexton, how are you? I'm good? Thank you for

419
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: calling in, man. I want our money back. They all knew, man,

420
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: call me and all they knew this was a joke,

421
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: and now we're paying. How much do you wit? How

422
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: much is this investigation cost the American taxpayers for years?

423
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: Oh it's millions and millions of dollars. Never mind think

424
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: about how much airtime has been used by media outlets

425
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: running with this garbage. Oh well, there, we all knew

426
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: why they didn't want Trump. We all know they had

427
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: the little old ball game up there, and the American

428
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: people are paying for it. Well, you know, there's a

429
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: god and he's more powerful than the Democratic Party, and

430
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: they're amazing. Anyway. I love your show, but to keep

431
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: it up, man, Thank you. Randy shields. Hi, thank you

432
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: for calling it from Mississippi eight four four to five team.

433
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: What do you think I can see over at CNN?

434
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: I feel like they're just beads of sweat gathering on

435
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: the foreheads of all the different anchors and analysts right now,

436
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: like oh gosh, like what's gonna happen now? And the

437
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: memo's gonna go It's gonna be out there. I don't

438
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna say out they got breaking newsban

439
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: and Republicans on House Intel Committee vote to release controversial memo,

440
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: and FBI refused to release opposing memo written by Democrats. Wow,

441
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: so sad. We'll be right back. If you think your

442
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: viewers want to know whether or not the dossier was

443
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: using court proceedings, whether or not it was vetted before

444
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: it was used, whether or not has ever been vetted,

445
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: If you're interested and who paid for the dossier, if

446
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: you're interested in Christopher Steele's relationship with Hillary Clinton and

447
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: the Democratic National Committee, then yes, she'll want the memo

448
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: to come out. Yes, one would want the memo to

449
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: come out, wouldn't we? Or we can we can play

450
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: this game where Democrats are the ones who care. So

451
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: much about national security. They just can't believe Republicans are

452
00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: going to release this. No, there's this point. The build

453
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: up has been so strong around this memo that if

454
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: there's nothing to it, well what are we all talking about?

455
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: Clearly got something. I was skeptical at first, and you,

456
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: those of you who listened to this show consistently no this.

457
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, hold on a second, because

458
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: I felt like with the new Nets, we we didn't

459
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: really get what was what was hinted to, with the

460
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: whole unmasking controversy, that that didn't happen the way that

461
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: I I felt a little bit like they they hyped

462
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: it up. I'm not saying there was nothing there, but

463
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: it just wasn't what we had thought, or at least

464
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: we weren't able to get to the facts. Maybe it

465
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: was just as bad as news says. Maybe actually this

466
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: memo was gonna let us know that he was right

467
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: all along. But we have to see it to know.

468
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: And that's what's going on here, and all these I see,

469
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: it's funny, all the the optics of it. All these

470
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: Democrats in the House Intelligence Committee are all standing around

471
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: as shift they they are so upset about this that there.

472
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: What's the the opposing memo? I would note, what are

473
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: they really gonna what's if they want to write a

474
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: memo that's not classified. They can just write a memo

475
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: that's not classified, So what's the problem. They can respond

476
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: to this in the press and they will. So this no,

477
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, opposing memo, This is gonna be a public

478
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: document everyone. So why would Republicans be like, yeah, let's

479
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: also have your let's let's let's have your take on

480
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: this thing floating around there too. Let's make that official. No,

481
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't think. So, We're gonna put this out there

482
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: and you can all talk about it and we can

483
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 1: see and if there's more information that we need to know,

484
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: because if it was out there, then all of a sudden,

485
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: the memo wouldn't look so bad. Democrats can try to

486
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: go through this process themselves, maybe when they're in the majority.

487
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: Elections have consequences. Chuck in Grand Rapids, Michigan. What up? Chuck?

488
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: Hey Buck? How's it gone? I'm good man, Thank you

489
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: for calling in. And also, before get sorry, I want

490
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: to tell you your podcasts are very good. Oh, thank you,

491
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: the History one Shield, thank you. Oh yeah, she'l t

492
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: I really enjoy them. I could recommend those anybody who

493
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: has a passing interest in these things and would like

494
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: a deeper knowledge. I think they're not stroke in the year.

495
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: You did a very nice job at a very short

496
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: time frame. Thank you. Well, hopefully you've seen or you

497
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: you've already downloaded The Fall of Content in Ople part two.

498
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: I haven't got the the I'm behind by two, but

499
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get all right, all right, you'll get You'll

500
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: get up there, though, just make sure you get them

501
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: all right. So what's on your mind? Okay, Well, what's

502
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: on my mind is, you know, we've got to figure

503
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: out a way that these bureaucrats stop interfering in elections

504
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: other than the same rights that you and I have,

505
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: which is voting. I think that this is now, is

506
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: this is starting to play out. You asked, Should Andrew

507
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: McCabe have a few more bad days? This should be

508
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: just the beginning. I think he and a few other

509
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: people should be facing I'll be really mad if he

510
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: gets a pet should and then after they all get

511
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: fired lose their pensions. I really want a prosecutor brought

512
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: on board that will make what's his name, Romeio di

513
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: Arco look like a saint. I want these people punished,

514
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: constantly called in. I think they should be investigated for

515
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: treason because I mean, they just messed with our very

516
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: sacred vote according to the Democrats, so I should be

517
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: punished and get the full Flynn treatment. Well we'll see,

518
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: my friend. I agree with you. There should be there

519
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: should be some uh equality of treatment when it comes

520
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: to the way the FBI goes about different Democrats and Republicans.

521
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: And thank you for calling in, Chuck, I appreciate it. Okay,

522
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: So so yeah, I thought one of the preachers had

523
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: producers had an update for me, and what's going on

524
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: interesting right now that the dichotomy that CNN is running

525
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: is running damage control mode and Foxes like, we got

526
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: a State of the Union tomorrow and the country's doing great,

527
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: and CNN is like the memo, I mean, like maybe

528
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: it's not that bad, Like maybe the Democrats will like

529
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: have a memo that will make it not as bad.

530
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: And you know, so much whining, so much whining from

531
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: from Democrats. This is very straightforward, right. Understand this everyone, bureaucracies,

532
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: even good people, can be corrupted by this concept. And

533
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: that is that within the bureaucracy. Within the bureaucracy, you

534
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: begin to feel like you have to protect the bureaucracy.

535
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: Right within the bureaucracy, you feel like there's a greater

536
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: purpose that maybe sometimes transparency isn't what you need. Maybe

537
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: the public doesn't really need to know because there's a

538
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: more important mission at stake, and you don't want the

539
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: whole bureau or agency or whatever it may be, to

540
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: take the fall for a couple of bad things that

541
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: a couple of people did. You can see how it

542
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: starts to be self justifying in the minds of many

543
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: who work in these places, especially those who have acquired

544
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: real power. They tend to be the most political folks

545
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: that work in these places. You know when people who say, oh, a,

546
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: you know, an honorable public servant or whatever. I'm always

547
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, first of all, that phrases you so

548
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: much now that you know, it doesn't really matter all

549
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: that if you're not convicted of a crime. You're an

550
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: honorable public servant if you work for the government, right

551
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean. But also you see how there's a tribalism

552
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: at FBI. It was true at c i A. It's

553
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: true at these places. There's a sense of us versus

554
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: them that starts to creep in, and it's very easy

555
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: if you're one of the folks, particularly way up in

556
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: the corridors of power, to think it. You're gonna give

557
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: your organization a pass on this one because it will

558
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: be too damaging to all the other really good stuff

559
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: you do if the public knows the truth. This is

560
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: how you get people at the FBI who have known

561
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: for months and months about some of the stuff that

562
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: we are now just finding out, and we're really hoping

563
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 1: they can prevent the disclosure of it, like we shouldn't

564
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: know how the prosecutorial and spying powers of the federal

565
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: government have been used for political gain. And those are

566
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: two of the areas I would know where abuse is

567
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: the most problematic. You know, if you have a if

568
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: you have a rogue elephant, uh Department of Commerce. You know,

569
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some bad stuff that would happen there.

570
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: But no one from the Department of Commerce is intercepting

571
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: your phone calls and locking you up in prison and

572
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: ruining your life, at least not that I'm aware of.

573
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: There might be Department of Commerce swat teams running around,

574
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: but I'm not aware of them. There are there are

575
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: actually some really bizarre swat organizations, not organizations, but swat

576
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: arms of the different federal you know, federal agencies. But

577
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: conversation for another time. But when the Department of Justice

578
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: and the FBI are weaponized, you've got big problems. You

579
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: have issues that require a public airing. This is also

580
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: how I've been doing this all along. What could really

581
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: outweigh our need to know information that goes to the

582
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: heart of this presidency. A presidency hangs in the balance here.

583
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: It will completely change the way that all of us

584
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: who are at least being even somewhat honest, view the

585
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: Trump administration. If it is a clear and established fact

586
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: that Hillary Clinton opposition shin information was used as the

587
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 1: basis for spying on Trump to try to bring Trump down,

588
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: that that changes every changes a whole narrative. The presidency

589
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: is at risk here, and I should note that on

590
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: the other side of it, the same people who are

591
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: the most opposed to the release of this information are

592
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: the ones who for months now have been just waiting

593
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: for the day that the Trump administration would end because

594
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: the president was either indicted or impeached and removed from

595
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: office or whatever it may be they've been hoping to

596
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: nullify the election results with this Russia collusion fantasy. It's

597
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: a fantasy. It has been from the beginning. I have

598
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: not had a single day where I have thought, Wow,

599
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe they're right, maybe they're telling the truth.

600
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: Not once in this entire year plus of this nonsense

601
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,959
Speaker 1: story that they've been running with, And I just think

602
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: that we are on the We're on the precipice at

603
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: least of maybe putting this behind us. It would be

604
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: good for the American people. And also we need some

605
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: accountability here. All right. We're gonna talk about the state

606
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: of the Union tomorrow. What's going to be at issue,

607
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: and top of the list there's immigration. We will get

608
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: into that coming up in just a few minutes. Other

609
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: shows just talk at you in the Freedom Mud. We

610
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: have a mission. We fight for the truth in a

611
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: team effort and buck us back with our next play.

612
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: The world has taken advantage of us on trade for

613
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: many years, and as you probably noticed, were stopping that.

614
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: We were stopping at cold and we have to we

615
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: have to have reciprocal trade. It's not a one way

616
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: deal anymore. Many many years I've been booking immigration, They've

617
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: never got anything done. We're gonna get something done. We

618
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: hope it's gotta be bi partisan because the Republicans really

619
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: don't have the votes to get it done in any

620
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: other way, so it has to be by part of

621
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: the sea. But hopefully the Democrats will join us, or

622
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: enough of them will join us, so we can really

623
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: do something great for DOCTA and for immigration generally. President

624
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: Trump getting ready for his first State of the Union tomorrow.

625
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody. Oh, it's

626
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: gonna be quite an addressed tom are not, I think,

627
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be something of a victory lap for

628
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: this president. He's gonna get to be like, hey, what's up.

629
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: They told you the stock market would be terrible. It's

630
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: the opposite of terrible. They told you that the economy

631
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: would be in the toilet. It is the opposite of that.

632
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: It is actually going really well. The country is doing

633
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: quite well in point of fact, and Trump is going

634
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: to get a chance to say that tomorrow night. I

635
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: think this won't be overshadowed, but it will certainly be

636
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: part of the background discussion. Um that the House Intel

637
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: Committee has voted to release the use Abuse memo party

638
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: line vote that just happened the last hour while we

639
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: were on air, and it turns out that Democrats are

640
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: upset about this. Keep in mind, they're not really telling

641
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: you the truth about how the Democrat memo wasn't going

642
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: to be released because of Look, there's Republicans and Democrats

643
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: in the House Intelligence Committee, and Republicans want the Democrats

644
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: memo to go to the full House first before it's released,

645
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: the same process the Republican memo had to go through.

646
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: Now Democrats want to do this whole Oh no, me, me.

647
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: I also have something to tell the American public now

648
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: that we can't stop the memo from getting out there,

649
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: we want you to fast track our little memo that

650
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: is supposed to refute it. You notice how it was

651
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: all sources and methods of national security and really important

652
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,479
Speaker 1: stuff to protect when that was a way to slow

653
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: down or stop the Republican memo. But once that goes away,

654
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: once the Republicans say, Okay, we're actually going to release

655
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: this fives abuse memo, we may get to the bottom

656
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: of the whole Russia collusion travesty that we've been forced

657
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: to endure for the last you know, the false narrative

658
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: that we've been forced to endure for the last gosh,

659
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, fifteen months now. But then the Democrats say, oh,

660
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: but wait, hold on, now, you've got to just rush

661
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: through our memo. You have to rush through our memo

662
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: because yeah, that's how it has to be. No, I

663
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: thought it was really important that we have to make

664
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: sure everyone gets to see it and that we you know,

665
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: vetted and all this stuff. So they're not really reporting

666
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: honestly right now. Many news sources are not really reporting

667
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: honestly about what has gone on here with the House

668
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee, and there's that. But you got the State

669
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: of the Union to morrow night. Let's get into that

670
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: for a moment. Here's what Trump is gonna say the

671
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: American people. It's gonna be great because there's gonna be

672
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: a lot of very unhappy Democrats in that in that

673
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 1: auditorium right there, assembled before him. They are not gonna

674
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: like what they have to hear. But Trump is gonna

675
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: give I think, a barn burner of a speech. It's

676
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: just gonna be great stuff from the president's morrow night,

677
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: because he knows that he has the fact that he's

678
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: gotten to this point despite all of the forces arrayed

679
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: against him is incredible. This whole story, this is the

680
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: most amazing political story of my lifetime. No question that

681
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: Trump when in the primary, beating Hillary in the general,

682
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: I mean, don't just let's just be honest about this, folks.

683
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: It seems very likely right now that not only did

684
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: Trump beat the most coddled establishment candidate in the in

685
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: the modern history of American politics, with Hillary Clinton right

686
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 1: at least Barack Obama could give a good speech. Hillary

687
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: can't even do that. So not only did Trump manage

688
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: that feat, he also may have done it. With the

689
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: FBI and the d o J at the top level

690
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: colluding to destroy his campaign and then his presidency, he

691
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: would have beaten all of that. I mean, I don't

692
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: know what to say that. Then this guy's got some

693
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: he's got some magic. I mean, he's just pulling off

694
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: some crazy stuff. And Tomorrow night will be an opportunity

695
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: for a lot of American people to hear from the

696
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: President about just what's going on, what his plans are,

697
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: and how it's all going thus far. I would note

698
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: that perhaps the best part of tomorrow night, other than yes, Trump,

699
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: will Trump and all of his supporters will be drinking

700
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: drinking liberal tears left and right. That is true. But

701
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: you have five, count them, five planned responses to the

702
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 1: State of the Union address from no less than Bernie Sanders.

703
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: Socialism is cool and they're gonna come back. It's gonna

704
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: be amazing. Uh. Joe Kennedy. I I didn't know that

705
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: there was a Joe Kennedy who's a member of Congress.

706
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: It turns out that Democrats still believe that if your

707
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: last name is Kennedy, you have some special skills or

708
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: you have some ability, that we should all vote for you.

709
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: Because your last name is Kennedy. You can have been

710
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: a wastrol your entire life. You could, you could have

711
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: been wildly unimpressive in every regard. But if your last

712
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: name is Kennedy, then at least Democrats should vote for you.

713
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: Just goes to show you how we have political dynasties

714
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: in this country. I do not like it. Look, it's

715
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 1: one of the things I really objected to about job.

716
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: Exclamation point is that, Okay, is you're lacking. And I

717
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: know he actually had a good resume and for for

718
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: politics and everything else, but I've just had enough of it.

719
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: You know, our third you know, we've got a country

720
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: at three million people are third Bush, never mind Clinton's

721
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: and Hillary, and they're gonna, oh, just give a time Chelsea.

722
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, oh, Chelsea, look at all she's accomplished,

723
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,919
Speaker 1: never been in a never been in a position where

724
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: she's really had to fight it out and win once

725
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: in her entire adult life. Never But they're gonna act

726
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: like Chelsea has some special skill set too. Sonay, Joe

727
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: Kennedy is gonna give the main Democrat response, Congressman Kennedy, uh,

728
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: and then Maxine Waters is also gonna be giving one.

729
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that's gonna make for some fantastic viewing.

730
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: I I might that one's gonna get watched. I think

731
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: maybe Kennedy Joe Kennedy is gonna get Dvard and uh,

732
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: Maxie and Waters maybe my top choice for watching a

733
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 1: State of the Union response afterwards, and then also Donna Edwards.

734
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: I think that I don't even know who this person was.

735
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I think she's remember the working Working

736
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: Families party. I don't know she's giving one too, but

737
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: who I mean, who knows but Maxie Waters, Joe Kennedy,

738
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, all giving responses to these days, and there

739
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: might be one more. I think I'm missed. I think

740
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: there's five, right, I've got four here or whatever. There's

741
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: a lot of responses which will be entertaining. I am sure.

742
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: So I think tomorrow night is going to be a

743
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: very interesting night. It's gonna bean not going on that

744
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: much is clear. We got to talk about the biggest

745
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: single policy issue though, going into the State of the

746
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: Union address, and that is immigration. You heard the clip

747
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: of the President just when we came on here in

748
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 1: this hour a bipartisan deal in immigration. What could and

749
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: what should that look like? Is Trump really willing to

750
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 1: grant an amnesty a candidate who was more hard line,

751
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: more law and order than all all of his Republican

752
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: contenders in the primary. Is he really going to decide

753
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: that now he's gonna mm hmm. We we'll see. Wait,

754
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: and on this immigration issue more right after the breaks

755
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: there right there, the President showed them for their insincerity.

756
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: He dangles out there a big offer which would probably

757
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: result in millions getting legalization. And what are the Democrats do?

758
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 1: They say, Oh, that's not good enough. Well, it's several

759
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: times better than what you had before. And it's still

760
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: not good enough. So the President brill he showed them

761
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: for their insincerity. We need to get the border secure.

762
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: There's Congressman Gohmert saying that the President has exposed the

763
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: Democrats and the issue of immigration, saying they are in sincere. Well,

764
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: what do we think the president is likely to do

765
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,439
Speaker 1: tomorrow night? He's got an enormous megaphone at the State

766
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 1: of the Union address. He's gonna talk about immigration. For sure.

767
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: We have Andrew Art Arthur to help us work through

768
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: this one. He's from the sin for Immigration Studies in Washington,

769
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 1: d c uh, Andrew Gritten, have you back, Hey, thank

770
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: you for having me. Greatly appreciate it. All right, So,

771
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: going into going into tomorrow night, what is the Trump

772
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: administration's position on this whole negotiation over DOCTA as you

773
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: see it? Well, you know, I think it's very much

774
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: in the air. I think that there has been some

775
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: very intemperate language on the part of the Democrats. I

776
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: think that the um offer that the President made and

777
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: that the center Republicans that may have been generous and

778
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: you know, perhaps even a little too generous. And uh,

779
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm astounded by the response that they've gotten out of

780
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: the Democrats, and I I really, I'm just not clear

781
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: what's going on right now. It's a little amazing. Do

782
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,720
Speaker 1: you think that there's a case what would the case

783
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 1: be for? You know what, forget what the Democrats want.

784
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: Republicans are just going to secure the border and past

785
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: legislation that it's necessary for immigration security and enforcement. I mean,

786
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: why do they why do they insist on conceding. I

787
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: believe that the opinion that they have is right now,

788
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:13,760
Speaker 1: they need to get ten votes from Democrats in the Senate,

789
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: and for that reason, uh, this is the plan that

790
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: they've come up with to get the ten votes. I

791
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 1: think that they should you be able to get more

792
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: than ten votes out of the Senate Democrats with this,

793
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: but apparently not. I mean, is there going to be

794
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: a better deal for the Democrats than DOCCA? As far

795
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 1: as I can see, Trump's already taken a huge risk

796
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: by floating out there that he's going to give amnesty

797
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: for all the different DACA covered folks. Yeah, I mean,

798
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: one point eight million people is an amazing number of people.

799
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: And you know, even when it comes to cutting chain migration,

800
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: it's only being done perspectively, so there's nobody out there

801
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: who you know is in the queue. And keep in mind,

802
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: these are not people who have been approved for visas.

803
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: These are people who have been approved to be on

804
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 1: the list to be approved for visas. So I can't

805
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 1: really imagine a better a better deal that could be struck.

806
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a huge number of people that

807
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: the President is willing to embassy and again, you know,

808
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: he's received a lot of heat from the right about this,

809
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: and I can't really imagine that a better deal will

810
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: come down the pike that the Democrats, uh, you know,

811
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: could get. So they really had to just take this

812
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: one while they have the opportunity. But apparently not you

813
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: folks at the Center, You folks at the Center for

814
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: Immigration Studies like to deal with immigration as it is,

815
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: not as some folks would would hope that it is.

816
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: So what would you want to hear from the With

817
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: that in mind, what would you want to hear from

818
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: the President tomorrow night on immigration at the State of

819
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: the Union. What I want to hear from the President,

820
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: uh is I want to hear him flesh out more

821
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: on the border security. I want to hear him say

822
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: that we're actually going to crack down on the abuses

823
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: of our asylum system, the credible fear at the border,

824
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,439
Speaker 1: where individuals can you know, be caught entering illegally say

825
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 1: the words credible fear and get to stay in the

826
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: United States for years. I want to see some, uh,

827
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 1: some real movement on unaccompanied alien children, may of whom

828
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: are not really children, but you know, individuals who are

829
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: in the United States, uh, and who got here by

830
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, claiming to be under the age of eighteen

831
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: and you know, getting allowed to you know, not only

832
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: be in the United States, but be reunited with family

833
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,479
Speaker 1: members or friends in this country. I want to see

834
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 1: mandatory you verify so that we can verify that every

835
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 1: individual who's working in the United States is working legally.

836
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: And I want to see sanctuary cities tackle. There could

837
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: only be one immigration uh program in the United States,

838
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: only one immigration policy, and that's the policy of the

839
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: Congress sets and I think that that should be the

840
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: line that the president should draw in the sand. And

841
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: what actions should this administration going forward? Hereen after after

842
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: its first year in office, right, it's gotten a sense

843
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: of what's going on. What actions do you think they

844
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 1: should take on sanctuary cities. I'm assuming tomorrow night, Trump

845
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 1: will bring up something about it, because it's a big

846
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: showdown that's looming for this administration. Well, you know, the

847
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: fact is that they need to cut off funding. There

848
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: have been a couple of judges who have issued contrary

849
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: opinion said that UH Attorney General Sessions didn't have the

850
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,720
Speaker 1: authority to cut h you know, scab funding, burn jag brands,

851
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: and things like that. The fact is the Justice Department

852
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: needs to vigorously UH litigate those cases, litigate them all

853
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: the way to the Supreme Court, because the fact is,

854
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: if you're not willing to follow American law, you shouldn't

855
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: be getting American money. UH. And I also think that

856
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: UH is Acting Director Director nominee Tom Holman has done

857
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:28,959
Speaker 1: at ICE. I think that they need to go after

858
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: these employers. The fact is, you know, these employers are

859
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: exploiting the labor of these individuals. And if California wants

860
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: to insert itself into the system, as they've asserted they

861
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: want to with the Immigrant Worker Protection Act as they

862
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: call it, I think that Secretary of Homan ought to

863
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: call their bluff and he ought to send out request

864
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: letters for every employer in the state of California. Asking

865
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 1: for their forms. That way, they'll have to tell every

866
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: employer will have to tell their employees, Hey, ICE is

867
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: coming to look at your documents, and let's see how

868
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: many people show it for work the next day. Do

869
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: you think that the administration would be able to even

870
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: if they agreed to only one point whatever it is,

871
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: one point eight million. I know it's eight hundred. It's

872
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: about eight hundred thousand that are tackingally covered under DOC

873
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: I think, but they would be willing to expand it

874
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: to one point eight million for those who didn't apply

875
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: for the program but could have qualified for it. Is

876
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: that I think that's what the number is. But do

877
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: you think that they do you have any confidence they'd

878
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: be able to limit it to whatever the number is

879
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: that's agreed to. I I would worry that there are

880
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: ways that this would expand I've been saying this now

881
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: for weeks, and that's the biggest concern. And the fact

882
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: is that there's six hundred nine thousand DOC HAVE beneficiaries

883
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: in the United States right now. It would still be

884
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: a heavy lift, but not as heavy a lift for

885
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: US Citizenship and Immigration Services to do a one for

886
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: one match with those individuals to make sure that they

887
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: are the individuals who have been granted doc who have

888
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 1: gone through the system, and that you know, vet them

889
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: again before putting them on whatever path they're giving giving

890
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: them whatever status. When you add to that though, an

891
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: additional one point one million, peep, well, there's gonna be

892
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: a lot of fraud that's going to sneak into that system.

893
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a lot of kids who show up

894
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: in the United States yesterday who are going to say

895
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: that they've been here for five years, and some of

896
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: them will even have documentation that will show that we've

897
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: seen fraud and previous amnesties. The fact is that the

898
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:21,479
Speaker 1: agricultural worker amnesty from the nineteen URKA was shot full

899
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: with fraud. Um So, yeah, I have no confidence that

900
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to keep it to one point

901
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: eight million. I don't have no confidence we're gonna be

902
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: able to keep it to two point oh million. And

903
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: the fact is that there is going to be an

904
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 1: excessive amount of fraud in that system. Is there anything

905
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: that can be done by the administration to uh to

906
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 1: to just force the issue of the democrats hand here?

907
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think, what do democrats really

908
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: want an immigration. Do they just want amnesty this time

909
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,479
Speaker 1: or do you think they want open board Because people

910
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: have been saying, well, they're not even willing to take

911
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: this offer that seemed like it was well beyond what

912
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: Trump was willing to get the first time around. I

913
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 1: started to wonder, at what point does the Democrat Party

914
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: just say that we believe anybody who wants to come

915
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: should be able to come. You know it, I almost

916
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 1: have to agree with the President that they don't really

917
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: want a solution, that they just want to campaign issue

918
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: that they can run on and say that, you know,

919
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,479
Speaker 1: the Republicans are heartless and they don't want these kids

920
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: to be able to stay in the only country that

921
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: they've known, or whatever they would say. But the fact is,

922
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: I think that they're attempting to squeeze the president for

923
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: everything that they can. We saw how the shutdown worked

924
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: at the beginning of last week. The fact is, the

925
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: American people are sympathetic, but we don't want to be

926
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: played for soccers, and quite frankly, that's what the Democrats

927
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,919
Speaker 1: were attempting to do. And I mean, if they don't

928
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 1: accept this plan, I think it's back to square one

929
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: and the President will you know, make another good faith offer,

930
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: but I doubt it's going to be one that's going

931
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: to be as good as this. This is a pretty

932
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: good offer and one that the President is going to

933
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: have to really really try hard to get through the

934
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: Republicans in the House Representatives and Andrew I have listeners

935
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: who call in and they say, I've got an immigration

936
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: proposal for the federal government in four the law. You're

937
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: a former immigration judge, Well, what do you make of

938
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: that as a plan for the administration? Just forget about

939
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: the deal, just enforce the laws on the books. Is

940
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: that feasible? Could they do it? Do they need help? Absolutely?

941
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's certainly feasible to do it. And

942
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: the fact is that the immigration laws in the United

943
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,320
Speaker 1: States are not that tough. If you enter the United

944
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: States legally, don't break the law. If you enter the

945
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,959
Speaker 1: United States illegally, well, if you can't get a job,

946
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 1: you're not going to stay here, Which is why mandatory

947
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: you verify is absolutely critical to any immigration solution that

948
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: we're going to reach because the fact is that if

949
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: we verify uh individual's employment, it turns out that they're

950
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: not eligible to work, and the employer can hire them,

951
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,280
Speaker 1: they're going to go home. They're here to make money,

952
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 1: and if they can't make money, they're not going to

953
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 1: stick around. Are reading. Just a few years ago, I

954
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: think it was in twenty fifteen or so, the Washington

955
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: Post was running stories on how net immigration was negative

956
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: from Mexico, the primary source of illegal aliens in the

957
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: United States, that it was negative because the U s.

958
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: Economy had turned in a hundred and twenty thousand or

959
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: so illegal aliens had gone back to either Mexico or

960
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: Central America, which to me sounds like, okay, well, if

961
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: if you you don't have to kick indoors and grab

962
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: people in front of their families and terrify them, just said, look,

963
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: you can't work. Yeah, I mean, And it's the truth.

964
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: And the fact is that when you start to have

965
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: any enforcement of the immigration laws, you start to have

966
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: a movement amongst people who were in the United States

967
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: to leave. We saw this back in two thousand and

968
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: five with Pakistani's who had to sign up for the

969
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: Ends Here's program. They were here illegally and they knew

970
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: that if they got caught that, you know, it was

971
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: gonna be problematic for them. So some of them went

972
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: to Canada, but most of them went home. Fact is,

973
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: we saw it with the Haitians as well. When TPS was,

974
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, starting to draw down, and there was a

975
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: danger the TPS Temporary Protected Status for Haiti would draw down,

976
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: we saw, you know, any number of patients go up

977
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: to Canada and apply for asylum there. We gotta leave

978
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: it there, unfortunately. Uh, Andrew, but thank you very much

979
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: for calling him, Man Andrew Arthur of the Center for

980
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: Immigration Studies, Andrew, thank you so much. Team. We're gonna

981
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: come back out. Oh, we've got to get into some

982
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: Hillary time here coming up. Oh, yes, he's holding the

983
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: line for America. Buck sex in his back. The defining

984
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: characteristic of the Democrat left in this country is hypocrisy.

985
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: Defining characteristics. I think that's a fair statement. There are

986
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: many other characteristics you could throw in there too, but

987
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: hypocrisy is what really defines them, what really separates them

988
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: from many others. We have now been through so many

989
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: months of sometimes very important stories of revelations from people

990
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: who have been abused or have been harassed. Remember there's

991
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,479
Speaker 1: a huge span of activity we're talking about here, from

992
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: the worst kinds of abuse and assault all the way

993
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: to unwanted comments or professional disputes in the workplace about

994
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: what's you know, sexual innuendo and what's not right with

995
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 1: this is But this has all been under under debate

996
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: now and talked about for for many months. One thing, though,

997
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: that we are led to believe is just certain, one

998
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: thing that we are told we are we can all

999
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: be ironclad on, is that the Democrat well, I was

1000
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: gonna see the Democrat media. The media is all about

1001
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: taking it seriously this time. Right now, things have changed,

1002
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: you know. The me too movement is a a mantra

1003
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: for Democrat journalists and politicians. And then we find out

1004
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: some uncomfortable stuff about more recent street even then, everything

1005
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:05,959
Speaker 1: about Hillary Clinton's past and how she went after Bill

1006
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Clinton's accusers and defamed them and lied about them and

1007
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: was part of bills Bill Clinton as president and before

1008
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: as governor of Arkansas is serial predations. Is serial predation.

1009
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: And what you know about that that we've talked about

1010
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: is here on the show. But here's what's new. Turns

1011
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: out that there was a complaint made against a a

1012
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: senior Clinton staffer for sexual harassment, and what a shock

1013
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: that senior aid to Hillary Clinton was not fired and

1014
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: this is a problem because Hillary first female to ever

1015
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: represent a major party on a presidential ticket, right that

1016
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Hillary is still because they have nothing else to fill

1017
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: the void, the closest thing the Democrat Party has to

1018
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 1: a standard bearer. I mean, I guess maybe it'll be

1019
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: Barack Obama again, but I've seen more of Hillary lately

1020
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: than Obama. For sure. We're gonna talking about that in

1021
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: a second. But even Chris Cuomo, the biggest bro over

1022
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: at CNN, he called out the Hillary staff and Hillary

1023
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: yourself for this lapse. This is who Hillary Clinton is,

1024
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:24,479
Speaker 1: let's be honest. One of the reasons that email story

1025
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: got out of controls that she wouldn't jump on that

1026
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: early on either and just own what was true and

1027
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 1: apologize about it and put it there. And the second

1028
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: thing is they'll say, well, it was two thousand eight whatever.

1029
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: You had two people, including your campaign manager, come to

1030
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: you and say this person's got to go. That was

1031
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: all you needed two thousand That's all she shouldn't been,

1032
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: you know. So even Democrats will call it out because

1033
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: it has become so very clear that the Clintons were

1034
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: a rot in the center of the American political system

1035
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: for decades. They corrupted and corroded everything they touched and

1036
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: interacted with, and people's entire careers and personas were so

1037
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: tied up in the Clinton brand that it will take

1038
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: some time for the damage to be truly assessed, for

1039
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 1: us to really know just how much the Clinton's corroded

1040
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: our political system, but also for it to begin to

1041
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: fade away. It's going to take some time. There are

1042
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people who's moral authority, let's just say,

1043
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: whose ethics, whose integrity has been hopelessly compromised as a

1044
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: result of proximity to the Clintons, and you're still seeing

1045
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: this now with a lot of them thought that they

1046
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: would cash in on a Hillary victory and then all

1047
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: the sins of the past would be forgiven. I think

1048
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: you could even argue that may be an explanation for

1049
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: what happened that the FBHI and the d o j A. Right, Yeah,

1050
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 1: this is dirty what we're doing. We're playing we're playing

1051
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: dirty pool here. But you know what, Hillary is gonna

1052
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: be president. I'll be forgiven then and we'll have been

1053
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: good will have been good fighters for the cause. Ah

1054
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: not after we see this memo, You're not. At least

1055
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: that's what I think we have to say, we have

1056
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: to wait a bit more on that, um. But Hillary

1057
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: and the Clintons, and you know, we're gonna look, there

1058
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: was some fun stuff with with Hillary over the weekend too,

1059
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean funny as and we will make fun of

1060
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: for a moment um. But I still think that there's

1061
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: that there's a hangover in the Democrat Party from although

1062
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: maybe you know, there's a whole other way to think

1063
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: about this, and this is just really curring to me

1064
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: now as I'm on air with you. Maybe it's not

1065
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: that the Clintons were corrupting the Democrat Party. Maybe the

1066
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: Democrat Party is so corrupt that the Clintons were a

1067
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 1: perfect match for it. Maybe it's not that they rallied

1068
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: around Bill Clinton missed all you hell you do. Maybe

1069
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: then rally around Bill Clinton in the nineties despite all

1070
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: of his grotesque behavior and lying under growth and everything else,

1071
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: just because they felt they had a popular Democrat, somewhat

1072
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: centrist president to def end. But because that's what the

1073
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: Democrats are, That's what the Democratic Party is at its core, dishonest,

1074
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: willing to put aside any moral compunction in the pursuit

1075
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 1: of power. That might just be what it is. With

1076
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: that in mind, though, I want to talk to you

1077
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: more about some Hillary stuff, because she made appearances over

1078
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: the weekend on social media and yes, at the Grammys,

1079
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: which were a disaster. We'll get into that in just

1080
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: a moment. You know who, I think all of you

1081
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: have probably started to miss a little bit. I just

1082
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 1: have a hunt here. I'm gonna make an assumption. I

1083
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: have a feeling that you probably missed your friend. You

1084
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: probably miss Hillary. Wow, I miss you. What happened was

1085
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 1: it's been a while, right. We haven't had Hillary on

1086
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: the show in a little bit. We haven't been able

1087
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: to have her way in on all of the latest

1088
01:04:55,440 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: busy with yoga. But she's decided that she's not going anywhere.

1089
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: In fact, she wants to be thrust in the public

1090
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: eye as much as possible, like deep in our eye,

1091
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 1: like a like a poll that gets stuck there, that's

1092
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: sharpened on one end that we can't pull out. You know,

1093
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 1: it's just painful and unnecessary. And yet here we are.

1094
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 1: I know Hillary was out there talking about well she

1095
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: was you can't make this stuff up. Uh. She put

1096
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: out a video on Twitter and this is what let's

1097
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: just start with this this is what the video said.

1098
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thanks, thanks for

1099
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: your feminism, for your activism, and all I can hope

1100
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: is to keep up the really important good work. What

1101
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 1: can you say supporting actions? And let me just say

1102
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: this is directed to the activist bitches, supporting bitches, So

1103
01:05:56,520 --> 01:06:05,439
Speaker 1: let's go activist pitches the warning bitches. Uh. I mean

1104
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: it's Hillary now trying to be cool. I remember, see

1105
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 1: I haven't forgotten. Some of you have forgotten because it's

1106
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: see her it into your brain like a like a

1107
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: car accident that you can never forget. But I remember

1108
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: when Hillary was like cool grandma out on this scene.

1109
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: I got a geane jacket. Oh no, I'm sorry, weather jacket.

1110
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: It was a leather jacket. And she gave this speech

1111
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: and it was like Hillary the the hipster grandma and

1112
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 1: a black leather jacket. And it's just, you know, she's

1113
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: she's made so much money and she's gotten so much

1114
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: further in life than her integrity or her intellect have

1115
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 1: really justified. Can't she just go, you know, write a

1116
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 1: memoir on Martha's vineyard and leave us all alone. I mean,

1117
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 1: I really if she would just stop insisting on being

1118
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: the center of attention. I would leave her alone, but

1119
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: I'd missed you, and I just feel like here she

1120
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: is once again talking about pardon me for saying it,

1121
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: but activists. She referred to activist bitches, and you thought

1122
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: that might have been the single most oh my Hillary

1123
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: moment over the weekend, But it wasn't. It wasn't just

1124
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: the activist bitches clip that was making the rounds. As

1125
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: of this morning. I turned on for just a few

1126
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 1: moments the Grammy's last night. I would note that the

1127
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Grammys had all the problems. And first of all, who

1128
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: is this British guys? Like? I'm liking like a loud

1129
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: British guy, and you know, look at me. I'm not

1130
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: running around making laughy laughy at myself and I'm funny

1131
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: because I'm British. I've never even I don't even heard

1132
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: of this guy. Do you know what this dude is?

1133
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 1: It was those in't a thing like a late night comic.

1134
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: Are you gonna tell me, You're gonna tell me he's funny? No,

1135
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: that's right, I'm gonna I'm gonna throw a pencil at

1136
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: the glass here. Um, No, the guy is not funny.

1137
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 1: James Cordon, Cordon Cord, James Cordon, Yeah, it's not funny. Also, Americans,

1138
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: can you stop being impressed with British accents. It's just

1139
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 1: a it's just another version of how people speak English, right,

1140
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: can you can we all just stop with the like

1141
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, this is how Piers Morgan had a show

1142
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 1: on CNN because so many liberals are impressed with a

1143
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: guy with a British accent. Right, if you have a

1144
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: certain kind of you have the Hugh Grant style of

1145
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: posh British accent, you know, then everyone thinks you must

1146
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: be really smart. But James Cordon or whatever, it's just like, hello,

1147
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 1: I'm so funny, you know. I mean, let him doing

1148
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 1: jokes about American politics because I know a lot, you know,

1149
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: and just make it stop. So I knew that part

1150
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:45,600
Speaker 1: of it was going to be annoying, and it was.

1151
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: And I didn't even see the who was the who

1152
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: was the one who? There was one artist forgetting who

1153
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 1: it was who made a big speech or it did

1154
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 1: something political? Right who? Whatever? Who cares wasn't interesting enough

1155
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: to at my attention. But something that was interesting enough

1156
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 1: to get my attention was you know, I mentioned before

1157
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: that I saw Hillary and that clip which we already

1158
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 1: played for you, which everybody was like, whoa, Um. I

1159
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:17,600
Speaker 1: did not expect that this would happen while watching the Grammys.

1160
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 1: No less, he had a long time fear of being poisoned,

1161
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: one reason why he liked to eat at McDonald's. Nobody

1162
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: knew he was coming and the food was safely free. Me.

1163
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 1: That's it, We've got it. That's the one you think, so, oh, yeah,

1164
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: the Grammy's in the bay, in the bag, the Grammys

1165
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: in the bag. Uh. That was Hillary reading from Fire

1166
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: and Fury, the Michael Wolfe fantasy novel that got so

1167
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: much attention in the press. I'm I am am not embarrassed,

1168
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: but annoyed to say that I bought it and read

1169
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: it because I felt like, well, I gotta know what's

1170
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: in this. If we're gonna be analyzing now, it's just

1171
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: it's trash, you know, it's it's it's clear now. B

1172
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,799
Speaker 1: sas on how that guy was pulled apart in subsequent

1173
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 1: interview interviews and the things that he says. You know,

1174
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, if it rings true, it is true. That's

1175
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: one of the scarier things. One of the scarier maxims

1176
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: for a journalist I've ever heard, But I think a

1177
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: lot of journalists live by that maxim. I think that

1178
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: is how they approach their work, especially in the era

1179
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 1: of Trump. But everybody, can we just take a step

1180
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 1: back for a moment here The Grammys, which who cares?

1181
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 1: But I know it's Look, it's watched by I don't know,

1182
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: like fifteen million people or something. I mean, there's people

1183
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: are watching. Uh, and this was the lowest rated one

1184
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: in decades or something. But you know, the Grammys is

1185
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be at least a cultural event of some kind,

1186
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 1: right's celebration of music. And look, I like some of

1187
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: the artists. I like the Black Keys, and I like Yeah,

1188
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: I like Taylor Swift. I mean, you know, I like

1189
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,679
Speaker 1: some of these different acts that are out there, Tyler

1190
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: the Creator. I mean, there's there's some good stuff these days. Well,

1191
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 1: brue mar is incredibly talented. I'm not here to be

1192
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: like the get off my long guy about music and

1193
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: I love music. Can't we all just enjoy, in whatever

1194
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: way that we see fit, a night of a celebration

1195
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: of music without the idiot left wing Hollywood progressive brigade

1196
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: jamming stuff down our throats. I mean, who the heck

1197
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: wants to see Hillary Clinton at a celebration of music,

1198
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, eight olvis, eight oh vys. I mean, you

1199
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: know what, what do we we want? We want Hillary

1200
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: to take the mic? What is she doing there? Why

1201
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: is she hanging out? What is the point of it?

1202
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: I think it's just to antagonize much of the rest

1203
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 1: of the country, which is really dumb, because you know

1204
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 1: what is one of the two most popular and lucrative

1205
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,719
Speaker 1: forms of music in this country right now? It's country music.

1206
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 1: You know who doesn't really appreciate having I'm just guessing

1207
01:11:56,160 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: having a a completely unnecessary and unfunny and aggressive and

1208
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 1: stupid Hillary cameo. I'm guessing of country music fans. I'm

1209
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: just I'm spitball in there. But I'm gonna guess definitely

1210
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: more than half. But they do it anyway. It's bad

1211
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: for business, but they do it anyway because it's a

1212
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 1: political compulsion. But the Fire and Fury book, they had

1213
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: a few celebrities reading from it are all mocking Trump

1214
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: ha ha ha ha ha. Sarah Silverman, is there one

1215
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: of these people who I have literally no idea why

1216
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: she's famous none? What's not funny? Uh not? What's the

1217
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: what am I? How am I allowed to say this? Um?

1218
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: Not really screen friendly? And I don't get it. You know,

1219
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: let's say what you're will about at least the most

1220
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 1: famous card ashi And she's got pretty good business instinct

1221
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: and she's very beautiful, you know, you know, she's she's

1222
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: a brand. She sells, uh, Sarah Silverman. I do not

1223
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: understand why she is famous in any way, shape or form.

1224
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I just I'm being honest. I

1225
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 1: don't She's there, you know the world's gonna end. Yeah, right,

1226
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 1: thank you. That's that's enough. Um, Yet we're we're we're

1227
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: forced to hear Hillary speaking there. And then Nicki Haley

1228
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: tweeted something out. She just said that she enjoys she enjoys,

1229
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, music, and just wishes I'm paraphrasing the tweet

1230
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 1: because the specifics of it aren't really that important, but

1231
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 1: she enjoys music and she wishes that it wasn't the

1232
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: case that they felt the need to insert politics into

1233
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 1: everything like they do with the with the Grammys. We

1234
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: expected at the Oscars too, and there were journalists Fire

1235
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 1: and Fury is a garbage book full of a lot

1236
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: of lies and half truths. And zero truths. And there

1237
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: are journalists who are getting angry at Nikki or getting

1238
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: huffy with Nicky Haley, the US Ambassador the United Nations,

1239
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: because she doesn't really they want to have to see

1240
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 1: Hillary read from a book written by an author who's

1241
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 1: spreading the terrible smear that Nicky Haley, a very prominent

1242
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 1: woman in politics and in this country right now, one

1243
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 1: of probably the ten most powerful women in the country

1244
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 1: in the administration, had an affair with the president. You see,

1245
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,560
Speaker 1: this is when you get that inclination once again that

1246
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: all this me to stuff that the journalists are running

1247
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: around there proclaiming to be in in lockstep with and

1248
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,599
Speaker 1: and just making a big show of how much they

1249
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:34,679
Speaker 1: care about it. You see with the way they respond

1250
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 1: to Nicky Haley that no, it's really a political weapon

1251
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: for them. And and we've had these revelations from within

1252
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 1: the me Too movement. But now the journalists that are

1253
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: running with many of the stories their political biases come out.

1254
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, sure, you know, we had to see Hillary

1255
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 1: last night. You know, I was just waiting for the

1256
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: show up on screen like just a giant. They should

1257
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 1: have just made a huge projection like thirty by thirty

1258
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 1: of Hillary's face and put up there. But like what

1259
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 1: happened was and we'd all be like, oh my gosh,

1260
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: we can't escape. You'd be like a scene in Godzilla

1261
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 1: where everyone's trying to run away from her. That's the way.

1262
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:15,479
Speaker 1: I'd have Hillary appear a giant face that on the

1263
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:18,640
Speaker 1: screen that everyone has to listen to, and they just

1264
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 1: are desperate to get away. However, they're gonna, please run

1265
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 1: for your life. Come back here. I have a speech

1266
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 1: to give. It's a bargain, had a hundred and eighty thousand.

1267
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 1: That's Hillary. Everyone hero of the left, and they wonder

1268
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 1: why we don't take their objections about Trump particularly seriously.

1269
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 1: We don't take him at all. I mean I don't

1270
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: so because they forced this stuff on us, because there

1271
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: is absolutely no escape from progressive politics now, not music,

1272
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: not the Grammys, not sports. We're gonna have to fight

1273
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: back and win some of that territory. But in the meantime,

1274
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 1: let me tell you what's coming up. In the next hour.

1275
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a little after action report on

1276
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 1: my weekend to close out the show. But before that,

1277
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about the memo with Kim Strassel,

1278
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:12,680
Speaker 1: our friend Kim Strassl. We will discuss more fallout from

1279
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: that photo of Barack Obama and Louis Farrikon, and also

1280
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: how do college kids rate the State of the Union

1281
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: speech that hasn't happened and that they haven't seen. Here's

1282
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 1: a quick answer. They think it's a racist. We'll talk

1283
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 1: about that in just a few Louis Farrikon is a

1284
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 1: virulent anti Semite. He's called Judaism and Gutta religion. He's

1285
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:37,439
Speaker 1: anti American. He is a horrible, horrible human being. And

1286
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: if I had known that the President had posed smilingly

1287
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: with him when he was a senator, I would not

1288
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 1: have campaigned. You don't associate with a bigot, You don't

1289
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: associate with an anti Semit. There should be zero tolerance

1290
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 1: for that kind of bigotry. And if Barack Obama associated

1291
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: with him, if the Black Caucus invited him, that's I

1292
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 1: don't I don't blame them for trying to suppress the truth.

1293
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: We should have nobody in public office associating with a

1294
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:11,759
Speaker 1: bigot like the Reverend Paraton. More fallout from that photo

1295
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: that was just released last week. Wow, that's that's a

1296
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 1: bit of a in the vault situation, isn't it. They

1297
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:23,480
Speaker 1: managed to keep it from public eyes, from being publicized

1298
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 1: for almost a decade. No, actually a decade, I think, oh,

1299
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:31,879
Speaker 1: you know, within a year or so. That was Professor

1300
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 1: Dershowitz who was saying that Farrakan is a known big

1301
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: and an anti semit. I don't think there's any real

1302
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 1: debate about that. And the guy has said things about Jews,

1303
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: about Judaism that are disgraceful. He's also said things about

1304
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: America and just about a whole lot of people that

1305
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: are terrible, but particularly he is a known anti Semite.

1306
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:59,520
Speaker 1: And Barack Obama was at a meeting of a Congressional

1307
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 1: Black Hawk this and had a meeting with Louis Farakon.

1308
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 1: There was a whole Farrakon Obama chat and you know,

1309
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: get to know each other part of this from what

1310
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:14,639
Speaker 1: I understand, and it was suppressed. You can even hear

1311
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: it from Ascia Mohammed, who was the photographer that captured

1312
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: this snapshot of Barack Obama and Louis Farrakon. And here

1313
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: is what the photographer said about it. A staff member

1314
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:28,600
Speaker 1: from the Black Caucus called me and said, we have

1315
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: to have the picture back. And I was kind of

1316
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:35,640
Speaker 1: taken aback. The thought was minister Farcon and his reputation

1317
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: would hurt someone trying to win acceptance in the broad

1318
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: cross section of people who want that acceptability in the

1319
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 1: crossover say, um can't stand the um inquisition that comes

1320
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: with being associated with minister Yeah, but with good reason. Right,

1321
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: It's not like Farrakon's actually an okay guy who get

1322
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,879
Speaker 1: a tough rap And no, no, no Arkon is scummy.

1323
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 1: You're a bad guy. So why would Barack Obama? I mean,

1324
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 1: let's do you know, I remember Christopher Hitchens, Uh, they

1325
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 1: rest in peace. Um. He had a he had a

1326
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,600
Speaker 1: test of whether he'd be willing to continue at a

1327
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: conversation with somebody. And he said, or you know, he

1328
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,679
Speaker 1: would walk you through if you sit down at lunch

1329
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 1: with someone and they tell you what their transgression was,

1330
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: would you want to stop lunch or would you continue eating?

1331
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 1: You know, would this be the end of the moment

1332
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:30,679
Speaker 1: or would it be or the end of the discussion,

1333
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 1: or would it be okay? You know? And he said,

1334
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 1: for example, you cheat on your taxes a little bit,

1335
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 1: all right, you know, hopefully you cleared that up, or

1336
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: you paid your debt to society, but doesn't make you

1337
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 1: a bad person, right, But he said, there are other

1338
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: things where someone said to you, and in this case

1339
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 1: he was referring to the Catholic Church, which he was

1340
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:50,400
Speaker 1: a very extreme critic of, where you'd say, excuse me,

1341
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 1: this lunch is over, I'm done. And Farrakhan is in

1342
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 1: the this lunch is over undone category. He's not in

1343
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:01,600
Speaker 1: the like, hey, you know, everybody makes a few mistakes. Interesting,

1344
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 1: isn't it that the photographer here had something that he

1345
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: that he instinctively knew was, uh, you know, a photo

1346
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:14,679
Speaker 1: that would have garnered a lot of attention. And usually

1347
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 1: people in the press, in the media, the moment that

1348
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:20,280
Speaker 1: there's controversy attached to something that that that some of

1349
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 1: their work, they realized controversy is a synonym really for clicks,

1350
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: for attention, for even dollar signs. So he was willing

1351
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:39,560
Speaker 1: to bury what would have been clearly a an attention

1352
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: grabbing professional activity. I'm talking about the photographer now, he

1353
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: was willing to bury that because someone from the Congressional

1354
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:51,879
Speaker 1: Black Caucus told him to Now let me tell you something. Everybody,

1355
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: I know you already know this, But if there were

1356
01:20:54,520 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 1: a photo of name a Republican candidate, her office, name

1357
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 1: a national level Republican political figure with David Duke, and

1358
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. I'm not I don't care if it

1359
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:15,280
Speaker 1: existed recently or or fifty years ago. Do you think

1360
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 1: that there is any journalist in the country who would

1361
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:20,719
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, this photo that's gonna be front page

1362
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:23,719
Speaker 1: news that I found. Uh, I'm just gonna I'm gonna

1363
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: sit on this because you know the cause, this is

1364
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:31,839
Speaker 1: what we're up against. This is what the other side

1365
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: does all the time. Democrats, the left, the progressives, this

1366
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: is what they do, and we see it and we

1367
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 1: find it out, we pay attention to it, and then

1368
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 1: turned the Corretta understanding, Why do you guys think we're

1369
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 1: so biased? Yeah, because you are so biased because we

1370
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:53,920
Speaker 1: see this and we know that it would have never

1371
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: happened the other way around. There is no world in

1372
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: which you would have a Republican being able to count

1373
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: on never never mind me the Congressional Black Caucuses covering

1374
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 1: this up. A journalist is covering this up. I'm just

1375
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 1: throw in there as well. Do you think this journalist

1376
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 1: completely kept this to himself. I'm sure he mentioned it

1377
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: to some of his colleagues, and she said, oh, I've

1378
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 1: got this photo of Come on right, it's a photo.

1379
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 1: It's not like it's national security. It's not national defense information,

1380
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,120
Speaker 1: which I would note a lot of reporters love to

1381
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: share that stuff, even when it hurts the country. Right now,

1382
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: because of released the MEMMO, they're like, oh gosh, sources

1383
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 1: and methods. Usually they're like, hey, let's put as much

1384
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:36,960
Speaker 1: damaging stuff about US uh national security on the front

1385
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 1: page of the newspaper as possible, because you know, clicks, eyeballs, money,

1386
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: who cares about America. That's usually what you get from journalists,

1387
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 1: most of them, not all of them. Some journalists were

1388
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 1: very ethical and patriotic, and I know a bunch of them.

1389
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 1: But usually journalists are hey, if it, if it gets clicks,

1390
01:22:56,760 --> 01:23:01,800
Speaker 1: it's going up. But with this photo Barack Obama, there

1391
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 1: was a different approach, as we know, with this photo

1392
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 1: of Barack Obama, the cause was so apparent, and the

1393
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 1: media's role in normalizing some of the relationships of a

1394
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: presidential candidate who now they look back on with with

1395
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 1: this reverence and the greatest president ever. Meanwhile, we look

1396
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: back and say to ourselves, hold on a second, So smile,

1397
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: take a you know, we'll take a photo of shake

1398
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 1: hands with frik I wouldn't shake Farakon's hand. I'm I'm

1399
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 1: a polite fellow. I'm probably too polite much of the time.

1400
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 1: He totally honest with you. I'm too respectful. It's I've

1401
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 1: got good parents. But I wouldn't shake fair Kn's hand.

1402
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 1: I wouldn't talk to Farrakon. No that there. I have

1403
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 1: my limits, right, we all do. I'm not gonna be like, oh, yeah,

1404
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: it was Farrikon. You know you're a violent anti semit

1405
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. Yeah, No, I wouldn't

1406
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 1: shake his hand. Why would Barack Obama? But then again,

1407
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't sit in the church for twenty years where

1408
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 1: the pastor would say things like eleven was the chickens

1409
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 1: coming home to roost and goddamn America. I would never

1410
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 1: do that. I would have left the first time I

1411
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 1: heard anything like either of those things, certainly when it

1412
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:15,840
Speaker 1: lasted twenty years in those pews. Barack Obama did as

1413
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:19,600
Speaker 1: you know with Jeremiah right, I wouldn't have shaken. I

1414
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't have shook the hand shaken shook of Barack Obama's

1415
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 1: mentor at the time, Bill Airs, I wouldn't have want

1416
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: to be around that guy self identified domestic terrorists. I

1417
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 1: tend to as somebody who worked in the counter Terrorism

1418
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: Center of the c i A. I I tend to

1419
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 1: have a problem with terrorists domestic or or foreign. Media

1420
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 1: was like, oh, you know, he was a Chicago guy.

1421
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:51,840
Speaker 1: You gotta do what you gotta do, Bill Aires, Jeremiah right,

1422
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 1: Louis Farrakhan. Just compare that for a moment, if you would,

1423
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 1: to all the times that the media played this gotcha

1424
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 1: game with Trump of you know, do you denounce sir?

1425
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 1: Do you denounce? Do you denounce David Duke? And everyone's like,

1426
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:09,599
Speaker 1: David Duke? Who the hell cares about David? David Duke's

1427
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 1: a loser. This guy is no relevance or falling whatsoever.

1428
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 1: You know why they even asking the president about Oh

1429
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 1: he didn't say he hated him enough. You know, just

1430
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 1: compare the way that the media plays the game, and

1431
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 1: this isn't what about is him? This is called reality.

1432
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 1: This is reality speaking in reality. How do you assess

1433
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 1: a State of the Union address that hasn't happened? Oh,

1434
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,200
Speaker 1: some college kids are gonna, let you know, in just

1435
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: a few minutes. Who show is flying by everybody, Welcome

1436
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:40,640
Speaker 1: back our three of the Buck Sexton Show. In effect.

1437
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not usually a fan of the man

1438
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: on the Street interview stuff where they're they're intending to

1439
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 1: show that people don't know anything, you know, when they ask,

1440
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, who's the vice president and everyone sits around

1441
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: and they're like, uh, Bill Clinton, I mean, you know,

1442
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 1: they just have no idea. I don't think that that

1443
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:01,720
Speaker 1: illustrates in anything. Also, I think that a lot of

1444
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 1: people get a little bit um. They just get nervous,

1445
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:09,160
Speaker 1: and and when you're nervous, you do forget things. Is

1446
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 1: also why I don't want Trump sitting down with Mueller

1447
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 1: or anybody else when the heat is on in a

1448
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:18,559
Speaker 1: big way. You're not usually unless you've had training and

1449
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 1: practice at it as precise in your thought processes and

1450
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,599
Speaker 1: what you say. It's a really nice way of saying

1451
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 1: I feel bad. People they're like, I don't know. I

1452
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: mean maybe you know the vice president? Who knows who

1453
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 1: the vice president is? I'm just gonna eat my ice cream,

1454
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: you know, And and everyone laughs at home and everything.

1455
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 1: I get it. Something. Look, sometimes it's funny. Sometimes I

1456
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 1: think it can be a little mean spirit. It really

1457
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 1: depends on the circumstances, and particularly when it involves college kids,

1458
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:47,919
Speaker 1: because college kids don't really know a lot um in general.

1459
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 1: This has been established many many times over from all

1460
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: kinds of videos and stuff that you've seen out there

1461
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:58,960
Speaker 1: in the media. And but this campus reform video, this

1462
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 1: is just is just too good because to not know

1463
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 1: something this is totally understandable. It's fine, right, I mean,

1464
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:09,599
Speaker 1: I I sometimes I'm like, oh gosh, I'm glad nobody

1465
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 1: or nobody knows that I didn't know that thing, because

1466
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 1: that's really obvious and I should have known that. It

1467
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 1: happens to everybody. But to pretend you know something gets

1468
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 1: you into a special kind of trouble. To come out

1469
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:22,760
Speaker 1: and be that guy who's like, oh, i've you know,

1470
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:25,719
Speaker 1: of course I know all about I know all about

1471
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 1: nuclear physics, you know. And you know you didn't pass

1472
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: high school geometry. I barely passed high school geometry. Not not

1473
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 1: not a good math student over here. But you know

1474
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,000
Speaker 1: that would be bad. You don't want to pretend to

1475
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: know stuff. And on college campuses. I think there's a

1476
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 1: couple of things going on in this video. One is

1477
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 1: that people inherently don't want admit they don't know something.

1478
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 1: But also college kids are in many ways encouraged, i

1479
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 1: think by the academy, by the college professors around them,

1480
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 1: to just kind of make it up. You know. This

1481
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 1: is the the the academic terminology for this real rot

1482
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:10,680
Speaker 1: of the mind. They call it a deconstruction or deconstructionism.

1483
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 1: They'll say, well, you know, you didn't read and this,

1484
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:16,679
Speaker 1: and the extreme version of this is, well, you didn't

1485
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 1: read the Shakespeare play, but like, what do you think

1486
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:22,160
Speaker 1: it should have said? You know, constructed and this is

1487
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: nonsense academics, pseudo academic stuff that unfortunately has filtered into

1488
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 1: a lot of college campuses, so that so they're making

1489
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 1: stuff up, and they're encouraged to make stuff up. You know,

1490
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 1: you didn't do the routing, but you're gonna have an

1491
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 1: opinion anyway. It's all about social justice, you know, it's

1492
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 1: all it's all about. It's an allegory about white male privilege,

1493
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:44,599
Speaker 1: you know whatever, right, and even if you they could

1494
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 1: be sitting around talking about the grain yield in the

1495
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:55,480
Speaker 1: thirteenth century in China, and it's about white male privilege

1496
01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 1: and the patriarchy, and it's like, well, I mean you

1497
01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 1: you did say patriarchy. So there's that. Campus Reform does

1498
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 1: some great stuff. And we all know the State of

1499
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 1: the Union is on tomorrow, and you know what, if

1500
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: you didn't know that, that's fine. One of the reasons

1501
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 1: why you listen to this show is so I can

1502
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 1: tell you stuff like that. You know, all of you

1503
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: out there got got other stuff to do, right, Honestly,

1504
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:16,559
Speaker 1: State of the Union doesn't really mean all that much

1505
01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:17,920
Speaker 1: unless you work in the media, and then you have

1506
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:22,320
Speaker 1: to pretend it's really important. But you know, one shouldn't

1507
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 1: pretend to know what they think of the State of

1508
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 1: the Union if it hasn't happened. And that's what happened

1509
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:33,120
Speaker 1: at Campus Reform with these folks. Uh, play it well.

1510
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 1: We're beginning people's re actions today to the State of Union.

1511
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:37,280
Speaker 1: Last night. Some people were saying that it was the

1512
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:40,160
Speaker 1: most racist State of the Union that's ever happened. What

1513
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:43,240
Speaker 1: was your reactions to everything? Ever said? Quite racist at

1514
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:48,120
Speaker 1: the very least, if not up there with most racists. Wow,

1515
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 1: it's almost already quickly climbing the scale. Some of the

1516
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 1: people said today that they thought his immigration stands and

1517
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 1: that the outlined last night was especially hateful. Uh, what

1518
01:29:59,240 --> 01:30:03,160
Speaker 1: do you think of that? I it's something that I

1519
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 1: wouldn't have expected to happen in like our lifetime. It

1520
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:10,479
Speaker 1: is crazy, but I'm not shocked by by what you've

1521
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 1: done in the past. So pretty I I believe when

1522
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm hearing um about his his rough nature and um

1523
01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:22,479
Speaker 1: the hate that he probably said, it's like something I

1524
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't have expected, like in our lifetime, because like he's

1525
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:28,920
Speaker 1: looked so hateful and like why does Trump have to

1526
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:32,720
Speaker 1: be so hateful and like race ast. I mean, it's

1527
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 1: a great gag because they're clearly very disturbed by the

1528
01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 1: State of a Union State of the Union address that

1529
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 1: has not yet occurred. It is giving them nightmares the

1530
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:49,000
Speaker 1: memory of this incident that did not in fact happen.

1531
01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:52,719
Speaker 1: It's keeping them quite quite worried, you know, it's keeping

1532
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 1: them up at night. Oh man, it's great stuff. Nothing

1533
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 1: nothing all that surprising here, nothing all that new. But

1534
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't know that sure enough. When you're talking

1535
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:06,800
Speaker 1: to college kids these days, they're actually responding too. And

1536
01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 1: not all college kids. They're college kids who are brilliant,

1537
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:11,799
Speaker 1: and many of them listen to this show, for example,

1538
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 1: but they're the overwhelming collegiate culture is that you just

1539
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:21,559
Speaker 1: have to know where you stand on certain issues without

1540
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 1: knowing the issues or any of the underlying facts, and

1541
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:26,559
Speaker 1: you'll be rewarded for that. You'll be rewarded for it

1542
01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:29,560
Speaker 1: with better grades, You'll be rewarded for it with the

1543
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:34,280
Speaker 1: respect of professors and your peers. So in that sense,

1544
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:38,040
Speaker 1: it's all very logical in that sense. Yes, it's fun

1545
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:41,600
Speaker 1: to poke at the ignorance here, but it's also I

1546
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 1: think a reminder of how much the college scene currently

1547
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:52,559
Speaker 1: is overrun by a very superficial progressivism. You just have.

1548
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:54,720
Speaker 1: This is like a perfect example. This would be in

1549
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 1: your day to day life. If somebody says, you know,

1550
01:31:57,400 --> 01:31:58,800
Speaker 1: said to you, what you know? Do you believe in

1551
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 1: climate change? Just ask that question is an invitation for

1552
01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:06,760
Speaker 1: some virtue signaling from you. And nine times out of ten,

1553
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:08,280
Speaker 1: although it depends on where you are in the country,

1554
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 1: a lot of your like buck, let me tell you

1555
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:12,240
Speaker 1: where I live, that's a question where you get a

1556
01:32:12,320 --> 01:32:14,599
Speaker 1: very different answer. And that's true. But generally, if somebody

1557
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,720
Speaker 1: says do you believe in climate change, it's the construction

1558
01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:20,800
Speaker 1: of the question itself, not the issue. They're looking for

1559
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:22,840
Speaker 1: a response from you, You're like, yeah, I believe in

1560
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 1: climate change. It's really scary, you know, and like the

1561
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 1: Koch Brothers and pollution and like, you know, it's like

1562
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 1: this stuff is like in the water and fracking and stuff.

1563
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 1: They just want that You don't have to know anything.

1564
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:39,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you can sound like a blathering idiot actually,

1565
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 1: as I just did, but you're taking the right position

1566
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:45,040
Speaker 1: on the issue in their mind, and so that's all

1567
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 1: you have to do. And this is why I give

1568
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 1: a lot of credit to the Jesuit education that I had,

1569
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:56,839
Speaker 1: especially I had Jesuits in high school, and they always

1570
01:32:56,960 --> 01:33:00,120
Speaker 1: wanted to They always push you to the why. And

1571
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:03,680
Speaker 1: that was central to well, some would say central to

1572
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: the history of the Jesuits in a lot of ways.

1573
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:09,440
Speaker 1: But but questioning and asking why and not just accepting

1574
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 1: things on authority as they are. People say, oh, buck,

1575
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:16,040
Speaker 1: but whatever leigion requires faith. Yeah, but within the faith

1576
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:18,639
Speaker 1: that Jesuits have been always willing or have a history,

1577
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 1: i should say, of being very willing to question things.

1578
01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:25,200
Speaker 1: So that's a that's the the beginning of all knowledge,

1579
01:33:25,320 --> 01:33:27,639
Speaker 1: you know, the search for truth is supposed to be

1580
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:30,880
Speaker 1: what they're stamping on the foreheads of these kids as

1581
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:33,760
Speaker 1: they arrive on campuses and it's just not happening. It's

1582
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:37,120
Speaker 1: not happening in many cases at all. In fact, the

1583
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 1: opposite has been true, which is that there is a

1584
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:43,559
Speaker 1: brainwashing that is going on, and either like it was funny.

1585
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to overstate it. You know,

1586
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:48,639
Speaker 1: the campus reform stuff, all right, you know, it's not

1587
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 1: not the not the end of the world that these

1588
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 1: kids think that they saw a state of the Union.

1589
01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:54,680
Speaker 1: It hasn't happened. I just also think it's funny. I

1590
01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:57,720
Speaker 1: would want to ask them, did anyone do the opposite

1591
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:01,920
Speaker 1: political spin on this? Meaning? Was anyone who's third? Yeah,

1592
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:04,479
Speaker 1: I saw the Steve of the Union. It was great, man,

1593
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:07,519
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, Trump was just like laying

1594
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 1: down the fire man. It was dope. You know, does

1595
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:12,320
Speaker 1: anyone do that? Because that would be not worthy to

1596
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 1: be I feel like all of the responses that you

1597
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:18,360
Speaker 1: get that are based on an event that did not

1598
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:24,160
Speaker 1: happen would be inherently left wing progressive criticisms of Trump

1599
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:27,000
Speaker 1: because they assume that that's safe. Whereas if you like

1600
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:30,040
Speaker 1: Trump and somebody asks you, you can't assume it's safe. Right,

1601
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:32,720
Speaker 1: all right, we'll get into much more in just a

1602
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:36,240
Speaker 1: few including our friend Kim Strassel. So stay right there, team.

1603
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 1: So the memo is dominating the new cycle right now,

1604
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:42,400
Speaker 1: despite the fact that we have a State of the

1605
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 1: Union tomorrow. Usually that's all the press will be talking about.

1606
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:48,920
Speaker 1: But we've got some memo issues to dive into. We've

1607
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,640
Speaker 1: got Kim Strassol to help us with that today. She

1608
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:55,280
Speaker 1: is a Wall Street Journal columnist, member of the editorial board,

1609
01:34:55,360 --> 01:35:00,320
Speaker 1: also author of a wonderful book that is outright now,

1610
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:04,160
Speaker 1: which Kim. The name of the book is The Intimidation Game.

1611
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:06,600
Speaker 1: The Intimidation Game. Thank you so much for joinings. And

1612
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:08,320
Speaker 1: by the way, Kim has also got a piece out

1613
01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 1: of a memo Operation Sabotaged the memo. Let's talk about that, Kim.

1614
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:15,440
Speaker 1: What's going on in your mind based on your analysis

1615
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:18,080
Speaker 1: and read of all this with this memo, a lot

1616
01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:21,800
Speaker 1: of back and forth. Well, it's so patently obvious to

1617
01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 1: me at least, what's going on here, Buck, and I

1618
01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:26,200
Speaker 1: think it should be to the rest of the country,

1619
01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:29,560
Speaker 1: which is that the Republicans finally got access to the

1620
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:33,200
Speaker 1: documents that the Justice Department and FBI had sat on

1621
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:36,679
Speaker 1: and withheld from them for four months. Uh, they put

1622
01:35:36,680 --> 01:35:41,519
Speaker 1: together a memo that clearly contains some very embarrassing or

1623
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:45,759
Speaker 1: damaging information to the FBI and Justice Department, and those

1624
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: two organizations have spent the last week trying every trick

1625
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:52,960
Speaker 1: in the book to try to undermine what's going to

1626
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:56,840
Speaker 1: come out, or dismiss it, or scare Republicans out of

1627
01:35:56,880 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 1: releasing it, which thankfully, so far it looks though they

1628
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 1: will not be scared and they will indeed release the

1629
01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:07,439
Speaker 1: memos and kim the objections to this that you see

1630
01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 1: from fellow journalists out there at some of the other

1631
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:14,040
Speaker 1: very big papers, what do they amount to this point?

1632
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:16,480
Speaker 1: From what I see, it's Uh, it's gonna be partisan,

1633
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:20,840
Speaker 1: of course, it is sources and methods they can redact them.

1634
01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:23,280
Speaker 1: There's a process for this, Yeah, there is, and they're

1635
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:25,640
Speaker 1: going through it. I'm not even clear on what the

1636
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:28,680
Speaker 1: real objection is to releasing the memo as in it

1637
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:31,840
Speaker 1: seems like there's a few different attempts to create objections,

1638
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:34,800
Speaker 1: but when any of them are given some scrutiny, they

1639
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:38,080
Speaker 1: kind of disappear. Yeah, there's just a lot of spaghetti

1640
01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 1: getting thrown at the wall right now to see if

1641
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:44,160
Speaker 1: anything will stick. But look, first of all, the partisan objectives.

1642
01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 1: Of course, the Democrats are going to claim that, and

1643
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 1: I think we should hope and I would like to

1644
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:51,840
Speaker 1: hope that what comes out in the memo has been

1645
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,640
Speaker 1: done in a very straightforward manner, that it's just a

1646
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:58,879
Speaker 1: collection of facts, um. Because that will undercut any arguments

1647
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:02,439
Speaker 1: that this is some bologny narrative. Um. But look the

1648
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:05,320
Speaker 1: importance of that too. Why I believe that we should

1649
01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:07,200
Speaker 1: feel confident that that is what is going to be

1650
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:10,680
Speaker 1: put out. And it also undermines the less in the

1651
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 1: media critics argument that there is some sort of national

1652
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:16,799
Speaker 1: security risk to doing this. This memo was put together

1653
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 1: by Trey Goudy, who's a former federal prosecutor, one of

1654
01:37:20,479 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 1: the smartest guys in Congress, who cares deeply about national security. Uh,

1655
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,439
Speaker 1: and Devin Newness, who's head of the Intelligence Committee and

1656
01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 1: also cares deeply about national security. They would never in

1657
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 1: any way put together something for partisan gain that might

1658
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:38,640
Speaker 1: undercut the country's you know, security. So I think we

1659
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:40,479
Speaker 1: should have a little, a lot, a lot of confidence

1660
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:42,880
Speaker 1: that what they're going to put out is perfectly fine

1661
01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 1: to put out and will simply be revealing in terms

1662
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 1: of FBI's actions. Now in terms of confidence, where would

1663
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 1: you state your confidence can right now based on just

1664
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:57,080
Speaker 1: either your analysis of what the FBI has said over

1665
01:37:57,120 --> 01:38:00,120
Speaker 1: this and what we're hearing, maybe also whatever sources is

1666
01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:01,840
Speaker 1: that you may or may not have that I've seen

1667
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:04,880
Speaker 1: the memo that this is what's your confidence that this

1668
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:08,439
Speaker 1: is actually bombshell territory and not just you remember the

1669
01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:10,560
Speaker 1: unmasking thing, It looked like maybe that would be a

1670
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,680
Speaker 1: big deal with noons and then it kind of it

1671
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,120
Speaker 1: didn't have quite the punch that I think some were expecting.

1672
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:18,719
Speaker 1: This time around, I'm hearing a lot of people say

1673
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:20,720
Speaker 1: that they think this is the real deal. What do

1674
01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:23,920
Speaker 1: you think? Well, first of all, I'd like to say

1675
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:25,640
Speaker 1: what one thing that always gives me a lot of

1676
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 1: confidence in my own sources is that none of them

1677
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:31,880
Speaker 1: have actually told me what's in this memo because it's classified, um,

1678
01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:34,360
Speaker 1: and they're the kind of stand up people that wouldn't

1679
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 1: do that. And so therefore, when they also tell me

1680
01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:40,080
Speaker 1: that what's in here is very disturbing, I tend to

1681
01:38:40,160 --> 01:38:43,000
Speaker 1: believe them on that. Now we're already getting some reporting

1682
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,720
Speaker 1: that's coming out. Um. The New York Times had a

1683
01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:49,880
Speaker 1: story today, which they buried the lead, but essentially it

1684
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:53,320
Speaker 1: said that one of the memo's main focuses is that

1685
01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:57,479
Speaker 1: it would appear that when the FBI was applying for

1686
01:38:57,600 --> 01:39:01,960
Speaker 1: a warrant UH to surve ale members of the Trump team,

1687
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: that they did not tell the fives A court that

1688
01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:06,960
Speaker 1: they were relying on a document that had been commissioned

1689
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:10,719
Speaker 1: by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign,

1690
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 1: which is certainly something I would imagine any fires A

1691
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:16,000
Speaker 1: court judge would raise an eyebrow at if they had known,

1692
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 1: um so, if they didn't tell them that they deliberately

1693
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:21,800
Speaker 1: admitted it, if they didn't do their homework to find

1694
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:24,200
Speaker 1: out who had was in fact behind it in the

1695
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: first place, all of that is very very bad for

1696
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:29,720
Speaker 1: the FBI, not to mention the fact that if they

1697
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:32,160
Speaker 1: used this in any way simply to get a warrant,

1698
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:35,800
Speaker 1: that's also appalling, because in essence, it's the FBI using

1699
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:39,720
Speaker 1: a campaign document from one presidential campaign to spy on

1700
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 1: another one. We're joined nowt by Kim Strassel, Wall Street

1701
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:45,400
Speaker 1: Journal editorial board member and columnists. She's got a piece

1702
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:50,360
Speaker 1: you should all read Operation Sabotage the memo. Kim, speaking

1703
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:54,120
Speaker 1: of the FBI and memos and all the rest of this.

1704
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 1: This transition is not perfect. We'll just go with it.

1705
01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 1: Though McCabe is out. Tell me about what you think

1706
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:01,360
Speaker 1: on this one, because this has been a big story

1707
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:06,080
Speaker 1: all day. McCabe is out. There are varying accounts of

1708
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:09,240
Speaker 1: why he is out again. I saw a story saying

1709
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 1: that the context of this was a discussion that he

1710
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:15,960
Speaker 1: had with Director Ray Christopher Ray uh and the upcoming

1711
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 1: release of an Inspector General report, which most people are

1712
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:23,360
Speaker 1: assuming is going to be very damning to the FBI,

1713
01:40:23,400 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 1: and Mr McCabe was central, of course, and all of that.

1714
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 1: And you know, we already have a lot of information

1715
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:32,320
Speaker 1: suggesting that that Hillary Clinton probe was not done in

1716
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:35,759
Speaker 1: a straightforward manner, whether you look at the struck page text,

1717
01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 1: whether you look at the changes in the drafts and

1718
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:42,680
Speaker 1: the decision to change it from um, you know, grossly

1719
01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 1: negligent to extremely careless, whether you look at the fact

1720
01:40:47,320 --> 01:40:49,800
Speaker 1: that he decided not to even interview her until the

1721
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:52,760
Speaker 1: final day and they'd clearly already made their decision. So

1722
01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 1: there's an expectation that that i G report will be

1723
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 1: very critical UM and that that seems to have been

1724
01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:03,320
Speaker 1: the context for which Ray suggested that McCabe either moved

1725
01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:07,080
Speaker 1: to a different position within the agency or go. Mr

1726
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:10,760
Speaker 1: McCabe decided to go. Gim if I had to just ask,

1727
01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:14,080
Speaker 1: what your guts telling you about the memo? Just all

1728
01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:17,920
Speaker 1: the FBI stuff that we're talking about here, struck page McCabe,

1729
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 1: the memo, the fusion, GPS, warrant, fies, all this stuff.

1730
01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:24,519
Speaker 1: Do you think it's gonna come down to incompetence or

1731
01:41:24,600 --> 01:41:27,880
Speaker 1: mouthfeasance when we finally get to the truth. You know what,

1732
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 1: I think it's something in between. Buck, This is what

1733
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:36,400
Speaker 1: I think. There is a certain arrogance that attended Jim

1734
01:41:36,479 --> 01:41:39,920
Speaker 1: Comey and the men around him, and and and I

1735
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:43,640
Speaker 1: believe that they honestly they got their teeth in this,

1736
01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 1: and they thought it was their job to quote save

1737
01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:50,559
Speaker 1: the country and that they would then do whatever was necessary. Um.

1738
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:55,400
Speaker 1: But we expect our FBI to not behave in that manner. UM.

1739
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 1: I think that they just simply became blinded by their

1740
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:02,320
Speaker 1: own belief in their infact allability. Um. And when you

1741
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:06,360
Speaker 1: decide to deviate from protocols and standard things, then that's

1742
01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 1: when you get yourself and a lot of trouble. So

1743
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:12,439
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting they were corrupt. I'm suggesting more that

1744
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:16,799
Speaker 1: they could not see through their own biases. Kim Strassle

1745
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,160
Speaker 1: everybody of the Wall Street Journal. Check out her latest

1746
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:21,240

1749
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:29,360

1750
01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:32,240
Speaker 1: gonna give you my weekend after action report. It's gonna

1751
01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:35,200
Speaker 1: be fun. Stay around for that and uh well and

1752
01:42:35,320 --> 01:42:38,160
Speaker 1: some more. So this is where I give you my

1753
01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:42,639
Speaker 1: weekend update, or no, my weekend after action report. Weekend

1754
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:45,479
Speaker 1: update is what they do on that on Funny Show

1755
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:48,840
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live. It is not good. I wish it were.

1756
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:51,400
Speaker 1: I like comedy, but as I've told you many times before,

1757
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:59,160
Speaker 1: liberals are are strangling, strangling, stranguling, sorry, strangling comedy like

1758
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:02,080
Speaker 1: nuclear or is nuclear? I I just created an extra

1759
01:43:02,160 --> 01:43:05,560
Speaker 1: syllable for strangling. But they are like a boa constrictor,

1760
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 1: just taking all of the life and air, slowly but

1761
01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 1: surely out of anything that's supposed to be funny. Anyway,

1762
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:14,800
Speaker 1: So my after action report from the weekend I was

1763
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 1: solo this weekend, which for some guys means, you know,

1764
01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:21,640
Speaker 1: they they go all wild and crazy because while the

1765
01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:24,439
Speaker 1: ladies out of town, they figure they can party and

1766
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:26,840
Speaker 1: go drink with the guys. For me, it meant that

1767
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:30,160
Speaker 1: I I made a little pile of my comfy ist

1768
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:35,000
Speaker 1: oldest sweats and just changed in and out of them

1769
01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:37,280
Speaker 1: of the weekend, and then cooked for myself a lot,

1770
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:39,520
Speaker 1: because see when I cook, I like to go messy.

1771
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 1: That's the problem. I'm not somebody who cooks and it's

1772
01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 1: like a surgeon as they go along, very orderly and precise,

1773
01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm like I Beazza by I'm like

1774
01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 1: throwing stuff around and making a mess of everything. You know,

1775
01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:55,840
Speaker 1: there's like spaghetti on the ceiling, there's a little bit

1776
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:59,760
Speaker 1: of salt, pepper, paprika and garlic on the floor. I

1777
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 1: mean it's it's a big a mess. One of one

1778
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:06,320
Speaker 1: bucks in there cooking. So that's what I did over

1779
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:11,200
Speaker 1: the weekend. And uh my success was with well, actually

1780
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:16,559
Speaker 1: I had two successes. One was I had had a

1781
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 1: steakhouse excursion with a buddy of mine earlier last week

1782
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,080
Speaker 1: and I got talked into the porterhouse and as I

1783
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:25,040
Speaker 1: keep telling you. The Ribbi is always the right choice, folks. Look,

1784
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:29,000
Speaker 1: a great porterhouse is wonderful. It's like a very in

1785
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:32,559
Speaker 1: a very solid cut, or a t bone. I think

1786
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 1: some people call a t bone steak, and I know

1787
01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:37,240
Speaker 1: it's like you get two steaks in one. But here's

1788
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:40,360
Speaker 1: the thing. Ribby is just a little naughtier. You know.

1789
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:44,559
Speaker 1: A Ribby is like you're actually eating something. You're like, wow,

1790
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:47,800
Speaker 1: this is kind of part steak, part bacony in that

1791
01:44:47,880 --> 01:44:51,040
Speaker 1: the the chewy, fatty grizzle is giving it so much flavor.

1792
01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:54,120
Speaker 1: I just love it. So I got myself a Ribby,

1793
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 1: bust out the cast iron and went to town on it.

1794
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:01,599
Speaker 1: I actually have to set up ahead of time, just

1795
01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:03,479
Speaker 1: to give you a sense of what I'm glad. Miss

1796
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:05,680
Speaker 1: Molly doesn't really listen to the show very often, so

1797
01:45:05,760 --> 01:45:07,840
Speaker 1: she doesn't hear these things. I had to set up

1798
01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 1: ahead of time a little emergency ladder to get me

1799
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:15,639
Speaker 1: up to the smoke detector in the apartment because whenever

1800
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:17,680
Speaker 1: I cook that smoke detector. I have the fan on,

1801
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:20,519
Speaker 1: but it goes off and it creates quite a ruckus.

1802
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:24,960
Speaker 1: But I seared that that Ribby. I will say that

1803
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:27,439
Speaker 1: the biggest trick that I have learned, or the biggest

1804
01:45:27,439 --> 01:45:29,080
Speaker 1: two tricks that I have learned when it comes to

1805
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:33,080
Speaker 1: cooking red meat are you have to let it sit

1806
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:35,800
Speaker 1: until it gets too close to room temperature. I mean

1807
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:37,519
Speaker 1: that's a long time room temperature if you've got a

1808
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:42,240
Speaker 1: pretty cold fridge, maybe an hour, but you have to

1809
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:44,919
Speaker 1: sit with it at you know, at a room temperature

1810
01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 1: for as long as you can at least thirty minutes

1811
01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 1: out of the fridge on the counter. Thirty minutes. Forty

1812
01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 1: five is better. You know that right around forty five

1813
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:55,760
Speaker 1: is sweet spot, because otherwise the center of the meat

1814
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 1: is too cold and you end up having to overcook

1815
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:01,840
Speaker 1: the outside to get heat into the inside. So that's

1816
01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 1: very important. This is all very true. Guys. By the way,

1817
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:05,439
Speaker 1: you should be and I know you can listen to

1818
01:46:05,479 --> 01:46:07,360
Speaker 1: the podcast, which I'm sure you do on your way home,

1819
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 1: but you should be taking notes here and then also

1820
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:12,719
Speaker 1: when you are done. And this is the hardest part,

1821
01:46:13,040 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 1: and chefs throws. I know it's a lot real hard

1822
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 1: to do this, a lot real difficult, but you've got

1823
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why all celebrity chefs these days are British. Look,

1824
01:46:20,120 --> 01:46:22,400
Speaker 1: you've gotta take the steak and you gotta labor on

1825
01:46:22,439 --> 01:46:27,040
Speaker 1: the counter for like six or seven minutes. And it's

1826
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:29,760
Speaker 1: true though, you have to let it rest. It has

1827
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:34,919
Speaker 1: to do with the uh, the dispersal of the liquids,

1828
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:37,960
Speaker 1: the juices inside the meat. You have to let it rest.

1829
01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:40,479
Speaker 1: It makes a big difference. It doesn't seem like it would,

1830
01:46:40,479 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you it does. So the Ribbi experiments

1831
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:48,720
Speaker 1: very successful. Also made some garlic cream shrimp, which was

1832
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:52,240
Speaker 1: very easy to do and very a little decade into

1833
01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 1: because any cream sauce is going to be amazing and

1834
01:46:55,680 --> 01:46:57,760
Speaker 1: not necessarily so good for you. But that worked out well.

1835
01:46:57,800 --> 01:46:59,639
Speaker 1: That was last night, all right. The other thing for

1836
01:46:59,680 --> 01:47:03,400
Speaker 1: those view that are wondering what what your next show

1837
01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:08,080
Speaker 1: should be on Netflix Longmire about Sheriff. Longmire actually quite good,

1838
01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:11,559
Speaker 1: kind of a kind of a spinoff almost it's not,

1839
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 1: but it feels like one from the movie wind River.

1840
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:16,800
Speaker 1: If you've seen wind River, which I thought was yes, right, yeah,

1841
01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:21,559
Speaker 1: Mike saw surprisingly good. So I would recommend Longmire to

1842
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 1: any of you. Ms Molly told me I have to

1843
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:26,960
Speaker 1: save Ozark for her, so those of you who have oh,

1844
01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:28,960
Speaker 1: when I started the Crown too, and I had to

1845
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 1: tell Molly, you know, so you went ahead without me

1846
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:33,400
Speaker 1: on the Crown. Now she wants me to catch up

1847
01:47:33,400 --> 01:47:35,040
Speaker 1: because she likes it, but she doesn't want to go

1848
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:37,760
Speaker 1: back and rewatch it. So I'm having to get into

1849
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:40,840
Speaker 1: some of I watched some of the Crown. It's it's

1850
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:43,760
Speaker 1: very well done. I can't pretend that I'm not. I'm

1851
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:45,719
Speaker 1: not into it. They do a very very good job.

1852
01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:48,639
Speaker 1: Although here's my beef with it. I don't think John

1853
01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:51,720
Speaker 1: Liftgow is a very good Winston Churchill. I just you know,

1854
01:47:53,120 --> 01:47:54,519
Speaker 1: you know, we can't do better than that. I mean,

1855
01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:56,679
Speaker 1: look at does a good job, but he doesn't look

1856
01:47:56,720 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 1: like Churchill. He doesn't sound like Churchill the whole time.

1857
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:03,160
Speaker 1: It's like John lithgal is walking around stoop over like British.

1858
01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:05,639
Speaker 1: Well look at me, I'm British. You know. It doesn't really,

1859
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:09,719
Speaker 1: it doesn't really resonate. That would be my my sense

1860
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:13,640
Speaker 1: for you on that one. So those are my Longmire

1861
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 1: thumbs up the Crown thumbs up. Arby, let it rest

1862
01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:19,599
Speaker 1: at room temperature before you cook it, and then let

1863
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:22,120
Speaker 1: it rest for five to seven minutes after you cook it.

1864
01:48:22,680 --> 01:48:25,680
Speaker 1: And if you feel like being naughty, shrimp with any

1865
01:48:25,720 --> 01:48:27,880
Speaker 1: kind of a garlic cream sauce is a very good idea.

1866
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 1: All right. That's the after action report from the weekend.

1867
01:48:31,200 --> 01:48:34,320
Speaker 1: And of course I did another episode of Shields High.

1868
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:36,320
Speaker 1: I just do this out of love those of you

1869
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:41,400
Speaker 1: who are uh fans of the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall,

1870
01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:43,519
Speaker 1: which is not for the kids. There's some very graphic

1871
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:46,400
Speaker 1: stuff in it, but you know, sexual stuff, but it's

1872
01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:48,200
Speaker 1: a it's a funny movie. It's an adult movie. It's

1873
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:50,559
Speaker 1: a very funny movie. I actually think the guy who's

1874
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:53,519
Speaker 1: the leading it, Jason Siegel, is very good and also

1875
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 1: Russell Brand, whom I usually think is a an Olympian Putts,

1876
01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:01,559
Speaker 1: is actually pretty solid in it. He's good in that movie.

1877
01:49:01,600 --> 01:49:04,960
Speaker 1: He's terrible in everything else, including in life, but he's

1878
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:08,120
Speaker 1: good in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. But there's the Dracula Opera,

1879
01:49:08,439 --> 01:49:10,719
Speaker 1: and I've been telling all my friends that the Shields

1880
01:49:10,760 --> 01:49:15,040
Speaker 1: High series for me is like my Dracula Opera. THI, THI,

1881
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:18,240
Speaker 1: I can't. You have to see the movie to know

1882
01:49:18,240 --> 01:49:21,440
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. But indeed, I see Van Helsing,

1883
01:49:21,520 --> 01:49:24,000
Speaker 1: I'll slay him. WHOA Do you have any idea what

1884
01:49:24,040 --> 01:49:25,519
Speaker 1: I'm talking about? It does it sound like I'm having

1885
01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 1: some kind of episode in here right now. Yeah, you

1886
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm Come on, guys, you know what I'm

1887
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:31,519
Speaker 1: talking about. It's a very good movie. Anyway, Shields High,

1888
01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:34,960
Speaker 1: the latest one is up. It is the Fall of Constantinople,

1889
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:39,440
Speaker 1: Part two story all of you should know. Really compelling

1890
01:49:39,640 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 1: and important moment in history. Also not a happy ending,

1891
01:49:44,280 --> 01:49:47,679
Speaker 1: pretty terrible went on there and just putting it out there,

1892
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:51,960
Speaker 1: but somehow you all know about the sack of Jerusalem

1893
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:54,439
Speaker 1: and how that was a very violent affair. Do you

1894
01:49:54,479 --> 01:49:57,719
Speaker 1: know about the sack of Constantinople in fourteen fifty three?

1895
01:49:57,720 --> 01:50:01,920
Speaker 1: And won't happen there? Because actually really terrible and a

1896
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:04,599
Speaker 1: whole lot of violence and pillage and rape and all

1897
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:07,120
Speaker 1: kinds of things going on kind of get skipped over

1898
01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:10,000
Speaker 1: in history class. Well not on the Shields High podcast.

1899
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:13,120
Speaker 1: So do check that out if you have not already.

1900
01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:17,519
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that the next I'm thinking of the next

1901
01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:20,439
Speaker 1: episode of Shields High. It's gonna be Malta, which I

1902
01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:22,080
Speaker 1: know we've talked about here on the show, but we're

1903
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:25,280
Speaker 1: really gonna do it the right way, at least in

1904
01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:28,120
Speaker 1: two parts. I don't really dig down into it I

1905
01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:30,120
Speaker 1: just think that the Battle of Malta is so cool.

1906
01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:32,200
Speaker 1: And you know, there's not a I talked to you

1907
01:50:32,200 --> 01:50:36,680
Speaker 1: about shows, different Netflix shows and things like that that

1908
01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:40,479
Speaker 1: of course I like all that stuff too. There's really

1909
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:46,000
Speaker 1: not a lot of good historical pieces on, you know,

1910
01:50:46,520 --> 01:50:49,439
Speaker 1: whether TV shows or movies that touch on this period.

1911
01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 1: Certainly nothing about Ottoman Christian warfare, which went on with

1912
01:50:55,240 --> 01:50:57,720
Speaker 1: some major battles for the better part of a few

1913
01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:01,080
Speaker 1: hundred years. Very it all on this and you have

1914
01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:06,800
Speaker 1: such incredible leaders, you know, very rich characters to work with,

1915
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:11,360
Speaker 1: uh Don Juan of Austria, Lepanto, and the various Saultans,

1916
01:51:11,439 --> 01:51:14,559
Speaker 1: and there's just so much good stuff to show on

1917
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:19,680
Speaker 1: the screen. And there was also the different military units.

1918
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 1: This was at a time when this is really pre

1919
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:26,799
Speaker 1: camouflage era still, so people would wear very brightly colored

1920
01:51:26,920 --> 01:51:29,200
Speaker 1: things and they had these, you know, weapons that were

1921
01:51:29,200 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 1: meant to be imposing looking, not just effective. Anyway, it's

1922
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:35,880
Speaker 1: all stuff and I think about for another time. I

1923
01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:39,120
Speaker 1: would love to do a series on this. Could you

1924
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:41,799
Speaker 1: imagine if they did like a Master and Commander style

1925
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:45,160
Speaker 1: series where they really got into the history and the

1926
01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:47,920
Speaker 1: detail of remember Master in Commander with Russell Crowe. Great movie.

1927
01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:51,320
Speaker 1: Imagine if they did that on some of on whether

1928
01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:56,720
Speaker 1: it's The Siege of Malta, Lepanto, the Fall of Constantinople.

1929
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 1: Thought that would be a tough one to show at

1930
01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:00,960
Speaker 1: the end. Anyway, I hope you like this stuff, at

1931
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:02,519
Speaker 1: least some of you like it as much as I do.

1932
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:04,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep it going as long as you're all listening.

1933
01:52:04,760 --> 01:52:06,760
Speaker 1: That's the plan for right now. So share it with

1934
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,320
Speaker 1: a friend. The more it gets out there, the more

1935
01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:13,120
Speaker 1: likely we are to be able to continue it. And

1936
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:15,599
Speaker 1: with that, please also spread the word about the Buck
