One police officer killed 17 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: that saw initial reports of and a K forty seven 18 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: in the hands of this terrorist in Paris. Will get 19 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: into this more in a moment, but just that's the 20 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: the main story that's still breaking here throughout the day, 21 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: will give you details on and we'll do some analysis 22 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: of that together.

We talked about 24 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: a whole range of policy issues that we will get into, including, 25 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: of course, next week he's hoping there'll be a vote 26 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: on health Care's also saying that he is pushing Congress 27 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: to do something about the debt ceiling. Uh. And there's 28 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: some discussion of foreign policy as well as talking about 29 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: Libya and Iran. Will will spend some time on Libya 30 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 1: later on. I'm sorry, I spent some time in Iran 31 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: later in the show, for sure, and then also some 32 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: other odds and ends. News of the day, What would 33 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: health care reform look like? The latest on and Culture 34 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: being banned from Berkeley by the Antifa movement of lunatic leftists. 35 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert gets nasty about O'Reilly. We've got some more 36 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: details on the doomed Hillary Clinton campaign GOP leaders. As 37 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: I said before, on the healthcare deal, we'll talk a 38 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: bit about that, and maybe if I have time, asylum 39 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: seekers crossing into Canada, Americans losing money and losing sleep 40 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: rather over money issues. A lot more to talk about today, 41 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: than I'm gonna have time for. But back to this 42 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: breaking news of a terrorist attack that happened just hours 43 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: ago in Paris. This comes in advance of a major 44 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: election in France. But here's what President Trump had to 45 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: say earlier today. First of all, our condolences from our 46 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: country to the people of France. Again, it's happening. It seems. 47 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: I just saw it as I was walking in So 48 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: that's a terrible thing. And it's a very very terrible 49 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: thing that's going on in the world today. But it 50 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: looks like another terrorist attack, and what can you say, 51 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: just never ends. We have to be strong and we 52 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: have to be vigilant. That I've been saying it for 53 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: a long time. It seems that this falls within what 54 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: we've seen before from some of these attacks, and in fact, 55 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: there have been attacks here in the homeland, including of 56 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: a hatchet wielding man who went after one of the NYPD, 57 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: one of the New York City Police Department. In the 58 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: name of the Islamic State ICES has told its adherents, 59 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: it's followers all over the world that they should act 60 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: on their own in jihad. So it has a means 61 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: of mobilizing gie hottests who have no specific connection to 62 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: the group whatsoever. Um It is also notable here that 63 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: the g Hottest in this case, from what we've seen, 64 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: was able to get a kalashnikov for some kalashnikov variant 65 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: for this attack. And while we we are mourning with 66 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: the French people the loss of a police officer and 67 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: also the psychological impact of this incident, right near the 68 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: Chance liz Uh the avenue, the most famous avenue in 69 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: Paris in France and world renowned. This is a place 70 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: that you would strike at if you are a gie 71 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: Hottest terrorists because of the fame associated with it. This 72 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: is what you would do. You would make sure that 73 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: you hit against a target that the Islamic State is 74 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: always encouraging its followers to go after police at the 75 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: first line of defense in any society against criminality and 76 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: and oftentimes against terrorism. Go after the police. Do it 77 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: in a crowded, well known area, do it very publicly. 78 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: But as we mourned with the French and this this 79 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 1: incident on their soil, we've seen much worse, of course, 80 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: in terms of casualties, whether at the day or the 81 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: night of the horrific attacks at the Body Klan theater 82 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: and at the stat de France, the enormous stadium where 83 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: just outside there were suicide bombers who detonated. You had 84 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: over a hundred casualties that night. You also had over 85 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: a dozen murdered in Charlie Hebdos offices sometime before that. 86 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: So France has been hit with major terrorist attacks of 87 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: the last eighteen months, and they are jihottest attacks that 88 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: also tie into the refugee flow, to the perceptions of 89 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: an Islamizing influence in France, a jihottest campaign against the 90 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: French people. Uh, the hard liners within within Islam. The 91 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: hardline or the jihottest within Islam hate the French and 92 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: have for a long time for a whole bunch of reasons. 93 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: French identity and French nationalism. And I don't say here, 94 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: we say nationalism, and it's everyone's ears perk up, and 95 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: they think that it must be some kind of a pejorative. 96 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: In the French context, they're very proud of their nation 97 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: and French nationalism and love of French language and culture 98 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: has come into conflict with those who believe that they 99 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: can bring a religious and political and social system with 100 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: them into a new country. In the case, of course, 101 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: France and those bringing it are from Islamic countries that 102 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: clashes with the host country culture. You could say a 103 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: lot of things about the French. One thing they're not 104 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: is sheepish about the greatness historical and otherwise of their culture. 105 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: So jihad has been visited upon France far too many 106 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: times in the last couple of years and stretching back 107 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: actually for four decades. And you could even look at 108 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: some of the origins of the modern Islamic terrorism we 109 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: see today, some of the similarities in tactics and with 110 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: the Battle of Algiers, a very worthwhile movie that I 111 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: would recommend to any of you have a time to 112 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: see it, where they had women who were placing bombs 113 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: in crowded market places as a means of making the 114 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: French leave, killing civilians. Uh So, their terrorist attack today 115 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: in France is right in line with what we've seen 116 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: from the Islamic state in the past. We are, in 117 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: a sense lucky, and I know it's such a bizarre 118 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: way to look at any terrorist incident when there's especially 119 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: when there's a loss of life, but that only one 120 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: person was killed, and that you have an apparent gee 121 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: hottest here in one of the most crowded parts of 122 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: among the most famous cities in the world, that only 123 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: one person was killed that he went, that he chose 124 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: to go after police officers and or chose it after 125 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: a police officer, I'm sure he intended to kill more 126 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: instead of just the soft target of a congreg congregation 127 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: of civilians. Is likely why you did not have dozens 128 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: of people killed in this incident. Back when I was 129 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: in the NYPD Intellence Division, we would look at cases 130 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: that we were working on and also go over case 131 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: studies in the past as a means of trying to 132 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: understand how does the terrorist, how does the g hottest 133 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: think and approach, what the attacks of the future will 134 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: look like? Uh, And as as part of that, we 135 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: would always try to deal with the reality of jehot 136 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: is um visited on us and our allies. You know, 137 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: these these horrific attacks that go for just populated areas, 138 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: that that don't have a symbolic significance attached to the 139 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: target set, that aren't going after a defended target at 140 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: least a police are armed. In this case, it turned 141 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: into a shootout. UM. I would imagine that this specific 142 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: in this case, and I've also seen the reports that 143 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: should note that this person was known to the known 144 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: to the authorities as a as a possible extremist. So 145 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: no no surprises here, and we have a replay of 146 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: all of the same themes and debates that we have 147 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: seen so many times in the past. What can we 148 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: do in a free society in order to prevent this 149 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: kind of jehot is um? How do we stop someone 150 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: who is ideologically aligned with a GLO mobile death cult 151 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: from killing innocent people as part of the strategy that 152 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: this death cult in this case name the Islamic state, 153 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: but the same thing really as al Qaeda and all 154 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: of it under the general umbrella of jihadism, of militant 155 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: or radical Islam. What can we do about this and 156 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: how can we confront it? And the truth is that 157 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: it's a continued it's continued vigilance and also and understanding 158 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: that this is a war against civilization. That is what 159 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: they are ify what we think of a civilization, which 160 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: is yes, technological advancement, but first and foremost h civil society, 161 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: rule of law. Uh. They don't believe in this. They 162 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: they want to destroy this, they want to replace it 163 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: with something else. And so anything that is destructive and 164 00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: rips apart that which binds us together in in the 165 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: civilized world. It's not even just Western civilization, it's the 166 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: civilized world. Jee Hottest will continue to strike at. This 167 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: attack was not mass casualty, thank heavens. The next one 168 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: might be, how do we prevent this or stop this? 169 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: I often get that question, and I wish I could 170 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: say there was a real answer, um, But we certainly 171 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: should be willing to name the enemy. And in that sense, 172 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: this administration, the Trump administration, is leaps and bounds ahead 173 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: of what we have with the Obama administration before it. 174 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: They're not completely controlled by the dictates of political correctness. 175 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: They don't sit around thinking about, well, will I sound 176 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: like I'm taking the acceptable progressive professorial tone about this 177 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: latest gee Hottest attack, and instead they just say what 178 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: it is. Um. It is a not just a gesture, 179 00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: but it is also of strategic significance, because understanding what 180 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: side you're on in a war of ideas is essential 181 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: if you have any hope of winning it. And beyond that, 182 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: I think there is a possibility that this administration, based 183 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: on what Donald Trump says on a regular basis, including today, 184 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: that they will destroy some of the symbols of jihoti 185 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: is um in its current incarnation, so that there's less 186 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: of this clarion call around the world for loners, lone wolves, 187 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: psychopathic gehtists, whatever you want to call them, and whatever 188 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: is the most appropriate designation on the case by case basis. Um. 189 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: The President wants to take the fight to these bad 190 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: guys and those who are in key national security positions. 191 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: I believe also want to take the fight to these 192 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: bad guys wherever they may be, and that will be 193 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: a welcome change, I think from trying to downplay and 194 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: ignore the threat in the past. So I want to 195 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: get to the other issues that came up today in 196 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: the press conference, Donald Trump giving us really a roadmap 197 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: of major policy issues. There will be tackling. They'll be 198 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: tackling in the days and weeks ahead. Eight four four 199 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: n eight to five. Any thoughts on the Trump anti 200 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: terrorism policies that he's talked about and we've seen so far, 201 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: or anything else you want to hit light him up 202 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: eight four four nine hundred buck team will be right back. 203 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: These bonds of history and culture have only grown stronger 204 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: as our two nations have become close partners. Dear friends 205 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: and very vital allies, Mr Prime Minister, and thrilled that 206 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: you are here today to discuss how we can make 207 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: this great riptionship even more productive in the years to come. 208 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: President Trump speaking to Prime Minister gentle Tony there uh 209 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: and they look, our relationship with Italy is good, no surprises, 210 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: and I'm sure Trump and Gentleloni are going to be 211 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: fast friends. But then we get into some of the 212 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: the policy you could call them policy previews from the 213 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: President here. First off, healthcare, which we've covered so much 214 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: of the healthcare debate, the recent healthcare debate on this show, 215 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: because it matters so very much to all of us. 216 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: And I finally started to see some articles out there 217 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: written by journalists, fellow punts and media where they're like, look, 218 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: I just want to be able to buy a policy 219 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: that makes sense, that I can understand, that I can afford, 220 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: and that covers before serious illness, and and and I 221 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: don't want to be paying for everyone else's uh stuff 222 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: that I don't need. You know, I'm willing to pay. 223 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm willing to pay the same way that I pay 224 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: for other insurance where it is a hedge against risk. 225 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: I pay amount of dollars in the so that in 226 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: the unlikely event that I need a lot of money 227 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: for something, it's there for me, but I'm probably not 228 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: going to use it. That's insurance. That is not what 229 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: we have is you know, we have a complex system 230 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: of government mandates, subsidies, and redistribution of wealth masquerading as 231 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: health insurance. It's not health insurance. Really, that's a component 232 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: of it, but it's it goes much much deeper than that. 233 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: And it was disappointing, and I I know that I 234 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: will feel the wrath of some of my beloved listeners 235 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: who are just completely on board for whatever the administration 236 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: is offering up. But the first go at this healthcare 237 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: thing was not good. Now we can say it was 238 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: mostly Paul Ryan and I would agree. We can say 239 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: that the House should have had this, and I agree. 240 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: But if Trump is going to lead on the issue, 241 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: we need to know that this is a really good plan. 242 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: And he's not just telling us that this is a 243 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: good plan because he's trying to help out as buddies 244 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: in the Republican Congress. He said that healthcare, well, it's 245 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: going to be a plan that comes out. There'll be 246 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: a plan that comes out soon. Well, I think we 247 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: are going to have a big win soon because we're 248 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: gonna have healthcare. And I believe that's going to happen. 249 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: And you know, there was no like loss with health 250 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: because this is just a constant negotiation and the plan 251 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: is getting better and better all the time. Now I 252 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: want to take the President at his word. There the 253 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: plan is getting better and better all the time. We 254 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: are told there may be a vote on this next week. 255 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: I find that hard to believe, but not not the 256 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: President's wrong. I just feel like the Congress will find 257 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: a way. You know, Congress never misses an opportunity, to 258 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: miss an opportunity. I don't see this GOP Congress, which 259 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: is far from a well well oiled machine. It's, by 260 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: the way, it's not just the hang ups and the 261 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: problems of the bureaucratic machinery of a legislature. Right. They 262 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: can tell you, all right, you know, to make some sausage. 263 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: You know it's tough, and you don't want to see 264 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: the sausage making process, and you don't want to look 265 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: into the kitchen of a you know, of a fast 266 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: food restaurant, and all all the hacknet analogies they can 267 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: offer off. The reality here is it's not just the 268 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: process that's the problem, it is the substance. There are 269 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: Republicans who don't want to go ahead with this, uh. 270 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: And they don't want to really, they don't want to 271 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: repeal and replace Obamacare, not just because they're worried about 272 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: what comes next, but they don't want to take away 273 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: some of the goodies that Obamacare has been giving out 274 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: to their constituencies. Even if in the long run, you know, 275 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people have I said, look, 276 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: your healthcare will be so much better in five years, 277 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: and your plan will be affordable and everything will be 278 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: in better shape in five years. If uh, if right now, 279 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: you're willing to forego some of the benefits that Obamacare 280 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: has just mandated, but not they're not market based, their 281 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: mandate base. This is what the government gives you. Because 282 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: the government says this is what you get. A lot 283 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: of people wouldn't take that wouldn't take that bargain, you know. 284 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 1: But here what the President said, and I want us 285 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 1: all to going back to this. Take him at his word. 286 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: He says, the plant keeps getting better. It's a constant negotiation. 287 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: Those are his words. This is just a constant negotiation. Okay, Well, 288 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: that means that those of us who have who want 289 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: to make our voices heard on this should not feel 290 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: sheepish at all about saying, hey, let's make this healthcare 291 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: plan better. Here's why the last time around what Paul 292 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: Ryan was trying to push through the Congress was unacceptable. 293 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: Here's why it wasn't strong enough. Here's how it can 294 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 1: be better, and we should do that without people feeling 295 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: like that is somehow disloyal either to the Republican Party, 296 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: which I think is less offensive to a lot of 297 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: folks right now, or unfair to the administration. I know 298 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: you have the hundred days. This arbitrary benchmark we put 299 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: in place comes due next week. Of a hundred days 300 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: in office. I think it's next Saturday will be the 301 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: hundredth day. I would just like to see movement in 302 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: the right direction and reassurances that those of us who 303 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: had problems with what what look at was Obamacare light 304 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: it was Obamacare two point oh. Those were not unfair 305 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: criticisms of this. It did not remove critical architecture of 306 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: the Obamacare Obamacare law, and it didn't give us good 307 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: reasons as to why. And then it undermined the reasons 308 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: it gave us, and they had you know, you had 309 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: one job Congress, Well not really, but you had one 310 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: big job for the last seven years. Republicans get ready 311 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: for this moment, and the first time out they certainly 312 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: messed it up. Now they're saying the second time, I 313 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: have to do a better job. We will have to see. 314 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 1: I think they'll vote on this. What do you think 315 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna do? Eight four, eight to five. We will 316 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: take some calls. I'll be right back. He spreads freedom, 317 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: because freedom is not gonna spread itself. Buck sexed in 318 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: his back. It wasn't going to do this, but I 319 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: was in Wisconsin the other day, and I want to 320 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: end and add I wasn't going to do this, but 321 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: I was in wiscon And the other day, and I 322 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: want to end and add by saying that Canada, what 323 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: they've done to our dairy farm workers is a disgrace. 324 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: It's a disgrace. I spend time with some of the 325 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: farmers in Wisconsin, and as you know, rules, regulations, different 326 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: things have changed, and our farmers in Wisconsin and New 327 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: York State are being put out of business, our dairy farmers, 328 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: and that also includes what's happening along our northern border 329 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: states with Canada having to do with lumber and timber. 330 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: The fact is NAFTA, whether it's Mexico or Canada, is 331 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: a disaster for our country. President that was yesterday, he 332 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: was in Wisconsin and you had that whole by by 333 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: by American higher American executive order. He was talking about 334 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: dairy farmers there and while I could make a cheesy 335 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: comment about not crying over spilt milk, you see what 336 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: I there? Uh, I wanted to learn about this a 337 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: little bit because I'm I'm a big milk drinker. I'm 338 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: actually a fan of drinking whole milk, which people at 339 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: all only only you know, growing girls and boys should 340 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: drink whole milk. And so I think whole milk is great. 341 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: I drink it all the time. I think it's fantastic. 342 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: I also think that butter is in reasonable amounts good 343 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: for you. I don't believe all of this conventional wisdom 344 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: out there about dairy. You know, too much dairy, And 345 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna get some Sometimes the vegans when 346 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: they hear this, they're so mean. They send me, you know, 347 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: they send me like a gift of a diseased heart 348 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: or something that I can't beat it. I'm like, whoa, 349 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm necessary. But they think that dairy is is like 350 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,479 Speaker 1: is enslavement of cows, and they think that meat is murder, 351 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: and so they get pretty you get pretty intense about 352 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: this stuff. But I'm I'm a big fan of drinking milk. 353 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: Milk and chocolate are two of my favorite things on 354 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: the planet. This is all well, of course, Trump is 355 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: is beating the draw on NAFTA once again, saying it's 356 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: a terrible trade deal. It should be updated. I think 357 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: it's unfair to say it's a terrible trade deal. Um. 358 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: And Trump's protectionism is going to continue to be a 359 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: place where he runs into trouble with the free trade 360 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: conservative wing of the Republican Party, which seems to be 361 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: dwindling these days. I'm noticing some folks and I'm not 362 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: gonna name names. This is like, uh, It's like when 363 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: Alex Jones actually figured out that I was CIA because 364 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: it says that I'm my official bio, and he was 365 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: like waving around a piece of papers like I'm not 366 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: gonna name names. I'm not gonna name names. I mean 367 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: buck Sexton, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna name names. 368 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: And I was like, why why are you naming me 369 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: if you're not gonna name that's not cool. But back 370 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: to the milk and the dairy issue here. It has 371 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: to do with creating class seven for a new and 372 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: a new class of milk because of the protein heavy 373 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: concentrate that he used to make cheese. I don't know. 374 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: Maybe the Canadians have some mechanism for their supply to 375 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: manage their supply, and they have this system in place 376 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: that some say gives them an unfair advantage over US 377 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: dairy farmers. Trump is down, He's down in the weeds 378 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: in this one, but it's part of the general theme. 379 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: So I'm trying to learn about how this affects dairy farmers. 380 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: And it doesn't seem to me to be clear really 381 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: that one side or the other is totally right. Ultra 382 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: filtered milk is what it's what it is called. Which 383 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: that doesn't I want is if the milk doesn't have 384 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: all of like the fat in it, I don't really 385 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: want it. But that's a whole separate discussion. All right. 386 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: I got a lot of you calling, and I want 387 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: to take some and then we're gonna move on another 388 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: topic or some of the other issues that Trump hit 389 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: today in his press conference. I just wanted to talk 390 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: about that Wisconsin NAFTA think for a second, because I'm 391 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: not really clear to be what Trump is gonna do 392 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: on trade yet other than talk about how the last 393 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: deal was bad. All right, I can. Let's let's concede 394 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: that NAFTA is probably aromatic at a minimum needs updating. 395 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: Look and and dairy farmers. Yeah, dairy farmers. You're getting 396 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: the the the small end of the dairy pale. I 397 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: don't know. I tried to get something there, but I 398 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: got nothing. Um But anyway, John and Ohio, Oh, sorry, 399 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: but I need to know more about what Trump's policies 400 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: are gonna be gener Ohio and w w v A, 401 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: thanks for calling in. Are you doing buck good? I've 402 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: heard you a couple of times that this is my 403 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: first time calling in. Well, thank you for calling in, sir. 404 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: Welcome to the team. Yeah. I just want to add 405 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: about the debate over whether or not to use that phrase, 406 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: which one yes, Sir, Obama did explain several times why 407 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: he didn't want to use that phrase publicly. Are you 408 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: aware of that explanation of yeah, yeah, he's he said. 409 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: He says that it's not as well. I mean, he 410 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 1: also said that the Islamic state is not the Islamic 411 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: Nora state. He believes that it's not that he's in 412 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: a position to tell people who are Islamist or gi Hottists, 413 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: so not know. If you're familiar with the distinction, then too. 414 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: Islamist are people who want to impose Sharia law and 415 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: an Islamic political system on everyone themselves and everyone around 416 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: the world. Actually, jee hottest are people that will use 417 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: force against civilians terrorism to try and achieve that goal 418 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: um as part of a holy war. So the president 419 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: believed that people that that do that aren't Islamic, that's his, 420 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: and that it gives them too much credit, and that 421 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: it is mean to the rest of the Muslim community, 422 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: and so he just decided not to use it. Am 423 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: I am I missing anything? Yes? What am I missing? 424 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: One he said that he said that the Hottests wanted 425 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: a war against Islam, period, against all of Islam. And 426 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: two he said that he believes that failing to make 427 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,719 Speaker 1: the distinction between radical Islam and using the phrase radical 428 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: Islam off often leads some people to believe that Islam 429 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: in general is the problem. Well that's okay, well this, 430 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: this is This is wrong on both counts because the 431 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: failure of distinction comes at the moment you won't actually 432 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: call something what it is. I mean, we we can 433 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: call al Qaeda whatever we want, right, but we shouldn't 434 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: try to pretend that they're not able to establish what 435 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: their own goals are, why they're doing what they do. 436 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: That's just that's just fact. And when you're looking at 437 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: jee hottest all over the world, who who is the 438 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: president of the United States to tell them what they are? 439 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: That's a that's a fascinating that's not that's not what 440 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: I said. I've said that jee hottests want a war 441 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: against Islam in general. So so so we think we're 442 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: going to prevent that war by by not calling them, 443 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: by not referring to radical Islam. I mean, think about that. 444 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: I don't think you're necessarily going to prevent that war 445 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: by not calling it radical Islam publicly, but I do 446 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: believe that. But radical Islam is a distinction. You understand 447 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,719 Speaker 1: that radical Islam is not Islam. It is radical Islam, right, 448 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: so so you can there's would be like saying and 449 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: and and an ultra right conservative party in Germany, let's say, 450 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: is different from a conservative party. Right, we can understand 451 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: these are distinctions that are made in language with an 452 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: important purpose. So you're so the president's the president's decision, 453 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: and others along with them, the Democrats, and by the way, 454 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: people in the intelligence community that generally speaking, I respect 455 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: to know what they're talking about, are all also of 456 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: the same mind that you shouldn't pretend that this has 457 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: no roots in Islam whatsoever. I mean, that's kind of 458 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: it's kind of laughable. Actually the president would do. Nobody 459 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: is pretending that. But then why not why not use 460 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: the phrase you're you're you're you're trying to say that, 461 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: I mean, this is going on, whether this is going on, 462 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: whether the president says it's going on or not. So 463 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: why would you not use the phrase it's the evil 464 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: that you cannot speak its name. I mean, it's Voltimore 465 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: from the Harry Potter books. That's bizarre. Okay, I'm gonna 466 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: i'll I'll make the second point where it'silly. But first 467 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: let me let me address yours really quickly. Do you 468 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: actually believe that the previous administration because they didn't want 469 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: to use that phrase publicly. Do you actually believe that 470 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: there are people working behind the scenes we're not aware 471 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: of of the of the strong link between radical Islam 472 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: terrorist But your your your question is your question is irrelevant. 473 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is the 474 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: president's refusal to do it for reasons of one domestic 475 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: political correctness, was cowardice. And and also two people around 476 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: the world when they see that the President won't even 477 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: and I mean within the Muslim community who are trying 478 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: to reform their faith, or trying to work on rule 479 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: of law issues, on democratization, on doing all the things 480 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: that we would like to see them do so that 481 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: they can have better in decent societies, when they see 482 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: the leader of the free world pretending that this is 483 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: not a problem, that there's not a civil war going 484 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: on right now in Islam between Sunni and Shia, that 485 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: there's not a civil war going on right now around 486 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: the world between Muslims who are reformers and and Muslims 487 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: who are plural pluralists in the societies they want to 488 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: live in, versus those who believe that there can only 489 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: be one faith, one approach one political system, and we 490 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: all know what that looks like because we see we 491 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: see shades of it in Saudi Arabia and in Syria 492 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: and elsewhere. So why not why disempower those people by 493 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: pretending that it has nothing to do with them. We're 494 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: not speaking about it. That's been addressed by the previous 495 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: administration many times. Wait, can I ask you a question? No? No, no, no, no, 496 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not done with you. This is very important. 497 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: Why did Hillary Clinton say radical Islam on the campaign 498 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: trail over and over again? She was president a Barack 499 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: Obama secretary of state. She said it over and over again. 500 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,239 Speaker 1: Why did she say it? You're asking me why she 501 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: did say Yeah? Why did she say it? Could it 502 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: be a repudiation of Barack Obama's dumb policy to not 503 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: say it because she realized that it was nonsense. She 504 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: was a secretary of state. I'm sorry what if she 505 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: said it. If she said it, it's probably because she 506 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: disagreed with Obama on that particular strategy. Why but, I mean, 507 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: why would she disagree with Obama? You're telling me that 508 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: this was such a good idea, This was his own 509 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: secretary of state. I mean what what bigger repudiation of 510 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: this bizarre words smithing that Obama engaged. Could you have 511 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: then the front runner for the Democratic nomination, who had 512 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: been his secretary of State, using the very phrase that 513 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: he avoided. It's a strategy. Some people agree with it, 514 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: some people don't. Now, let me get to the second 515 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: point that I've been trying to make. He also believed 516 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: that by using that phrase publicly, some people here that 517 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: word Islam and fail to make the distinction because they 518 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: don't pay enough attention. And there is some truth to that. 519 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: So so Obama can't speak openly about an issue because 520 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: he thinks that people are too dumb to understand what 521 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: real words mean. I mean, that's that's a pretty condescending 522 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: point of view, don't you think? I think that's it. 523 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: There is evidence to support that many people are in 524 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: fact too dumb to make that distinction. Now you're deciding 525 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: evidence that I've never heard of, never read, and I 526 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: would need to see a study that says that people 527 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,959 Speaker 1: are too people are too dumb to know what I mean. 528 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: This is like, this is like why we always have 529 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: to sit around and say, look, I mean, we know 530 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: a vast majority of Muslims are are people. We all 531 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: know that. You're not gonna let me make a point, yea. 532 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: Hence the documented and admitted spike in hate crimes against 533 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: Muslims in general. That's not, by the way, that that 534 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: is always that is always c See. I've actually dealt 535 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: with this issue from people who take your point of 536 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: view on TV, who are supposed to be the iluminaries, 537 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: luminaries of this issue, and they cite things like someone 538 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: looking at go to the Huffington Post. Look after the 539 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: French attack, the attack in France at the Bottaklon theater, 540 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: they started a hate crime counter. They stopped it after 541 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: a while. Do you know why? Because they weren't getting 542 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: the numbers that they assume that they would get of 543 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: hate crimes against Muslims in this country. And people pointed out, 544 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: but things like someone saying something mean or an anonymous 545 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: phone call somewhere to a mosque isn't really a hate 546 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: crime worthy of national political covering? A mosque is a 547 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: hate crime? Are you not aware of this spike? I'm sorry, 548 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: what spike? Not of the recent spike in moss burnings. 549 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: And we're talking like past six seven months, how many 550 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: how many mosques have been burned down in this country 551 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: and at six or seven months that, by the way, 552 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: not don't include the ones that were burned down by 553 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: a Muslim, which happened in Texas to raise awareness about 554 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: the spike and hate crimes that you seem to believe happened, 555 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: even though it doesn't. Don't include that one. Don't include No, don't. 556 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: We shouldn't include that one because that one, that one 557 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: would be kind of weird to include because that would 558 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: be a self hate crime. But if it's so widespread, 559 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: why would someone have to commit a self hate crime. 560 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, why would someone have to do that. 561 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm curious. Can't they pick from any of the innumerable 562 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: other ones. Always going to have people in every group 563 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: who are trying to draw attention to their point by 564 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: staging an event, uh, in order to blame the opposition. 565 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: You're always going to have people to do that. But 566 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think you're always gonna have people 567 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: to do that. I think you have that in a 568 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: culture of victimology and in a country where one major 569 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: political party thinks that as long as they can establish 570 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: some means of oppression, narrative that's much more important than 571 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: actually dealing with the reality, which is that we face 572 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: a substantial but small percentage wise, but substantial segment of 573 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: one face tradition that will take up violence as part 574 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: of a global jihad. I would love to continue talking 575 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: about this, but I actually have to go into a break, 576 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: and that is that I literally have to go into 577 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: a break. But thank you for calling in, and we'll 578 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: be right back those of you who called in who 579 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: were patiently waiting you get on there. Sorry that that 580 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: went went a bit longer. I thought it was an 581 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: interesting and interesting exchange to have mirrored exchanges that I've 582 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: had in the past at CNN. So I just want 583 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: to talk about the dairy industry and you know, ultra 584 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: filtered milk, and then all of a sudden, I gotta 585 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: talk about all this gihad stuff. I guess that happens. 586 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: Uh So, A few things from the A few things 587 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: from the press conference ARL today between the Italian Prime 588 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: Minister Prime Minister Gentiloni and the well and for US 589 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: our president, and they talked a bit about how everyone 590 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: has to pay their fair Wow, he did say pay 591 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: their fair ship, full full and fair share. He didn't 592 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: say pay their fair share. That will be a little 593 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: too obama Ist, I think, um even for for this 594 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 1: for this president to pull off. But he said everyone 595 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: when it comes to NATO, well they're gonna have to 596 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:15,760 Speaker 1: chip in a bit more. As we reaffirm our support 597 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: for historic institutions, we must also reaffirm the requirement that 598 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: everyone must pay their full and fair share for the 599 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: cost of defense. Well, unfair share for the costs of defense. 600 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: I don't think we're ever going to get more money 601 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: out of her NATO partners, especially money that they haven't 602 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: been paying in the past. It's really the two percent 603 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: of GDP figure is a guideline. It is not an 604 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: enforceable it's not an enforceable contract in any sense. So 605 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: that's just it's nice that we're trying to get them 606 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 1: to live up to what they said they would try 607 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: to live up to. But when you don't have any 608 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,399 Speaker 1: mechanism in place that would really allow for it, you're 609 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: kind of left. You're kind of left using persuasion when 610 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: you don't have much more to go on than that. 611 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: But you know, Trump makes good deals. Maybe he'll uh 612 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: pull it off. Um and we'll see what. Let's let's 613 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: talk a bit about Libya for a second as well. 614 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: Play clip sixty four. Please your role in Libya. I 615 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: think the United States has right now enough roles. We're 616 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: gonna role everywhere, So I do not see that. I 617 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: do see a role in getting rid of ISIS. We're 618 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: being very effective in that regard. We are doing a 619 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,919 Speaker 1: job with respect to ISIS that it has not been 620 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: done anywhere near the numbers that were producing right now. 621 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: I would say it's a very effective force. We have 622 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 1: we have no choice. It's a horrible thing to say, 623 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: but we have no choice and says we have no 624 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 1: choice on dealing with the Islamic State. Now, there has 625 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: been some it should be noted that the president and 626 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: the current president has inherited an anti ISIS policy from 627 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: the previous president, or at least anti ISIS systems that 628 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: are in place, whether it's what's going on to retake 629 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: Mosle from the Islamic State, which is nearing completion now 630 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: in Iraq, the air campaign, or the assistance to YPG 631 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: the Kurdish militias in Syria, those were underway by the 632 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: time this president took office. But as is often the 633 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: case in these counterinsurgency operations against terrorist geh hottiest groups. 634 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: The first phase we may be successful. The second phase 635 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: can be even more difficult. Though the first phase is 636 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: the clearing. In the second phase is holding in some 637 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: of these areas will be very difficult, even for our 638 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: on the ground allies who know the human torain quite 639 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,720 Speaker 1: well and have an understanding of what would be involved 640 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: for the counter and certgency operations to continue on after 641 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: you've you know, it's one thing to kick ISIS out 642 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: of Mosel where it was in control, it was acting 643 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 1: as the government in Mosel. It's another thing to then 644 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: police the streets, deal with random suicide bombings and uh 645 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: SVB s v B i E d s A suicide 646 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: born vehicle, suicide vehicle born improvised explosive devices. That those 647 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 1: are all challenges that will continue on. So Trump says 648 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: he's going to destroy ISIS. They're doing it right now 649 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,959 Speaker 1: in Iraq and Syria. That has been underway for some time. 650 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: We'll see though there's the possibility of an expanded US 651 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: role in UH, well not a live in Yemen. Uh 652 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 1: that's possible with this administration given some of the dynamics 653 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: at play. And also we're gonna have to look at 654 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: the Iran agreement. The Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has 655 00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: been talking about it in recent days, and he said 656 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: that Iran so far has complied. But then there's been 657 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 1: a change in tone. Now they're saying that they haven't 658 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: necessarily complied. We will get into this and much more 659 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 1: coming up. Eight four four, nine to eight to five. 660 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: Back of the team in just a few He's an 661 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: x C I a officer who knows how to outsmart 662 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: the enemies of liberty.

Everyone. We are 667 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: joined now by Michelle Malkin. She's a conservative blog or 668 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: syndicated columnist, host of Michelle Malkin investigates on c R 669 00:38:55,280 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: t V. Her latest piece, Chelsea Clinton's cheerleading cult. We 670 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: want to talk about that now, Michelle, thanks for calling in, Hey, 671 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: thanks for having me. So I saw the magazine cover 672 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: and I thought, well, so so Hillary gets to be 673 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 1: like the grandma in the biker jacket. Now because she's 674 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,919 Speaker 1: cool and now Chelsea gets to be on the cover 675 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: of a magazine. It didn't really it looked like someone 676 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: had photoshops a lot of it. But what is what 677 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: is this all about? She said, She's not running. Why 678 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: do we have to see her own Variety magazine? Because 679 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: the Hollywood media complex is going to do everything it 680 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:36,479 Speaker 1: can to prop up a Chelsea Clinton campaign, and we've 681 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,360 Speaker 1: we've seen it over the last several months. The Variety 682 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 1: covers is just the tip of the iceberg. I mean, 683 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: you have a reporter at The Hill who's done dozens 684 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:52,320 Speaker 1: of stories on on every breath at Chelsea Clinton takes 685 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: every tweet, every thought about books that she thinks everyone 686 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: should read. And then of course all of her ultimillion 687 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: dollar book contracts for opuses that sink like lead in 688 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: the marketplace. Um, it's stunning. She's going to be receiving 689 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: an award tomorrow in New York City, UM, sponsored by 690 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: Variety and apparently Lifetime Channel is involved as well, rewarding 691 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: her for her humanitarian work. Buck. So this is from 692 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: her time at the Clinton Foundation, which based on some 693 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 1: of the emails that we all saw in the in 694 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: the in the general election that came out where she 695 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: was not exactly a beloved figure and it did not 696 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: always seem like charity was first and foremost on her 697 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 1: mind while being one of the top people at this 698 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 1: I believe multibillion dollar charity in terms of the money 699 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,879 Speaker 1: it has raised over the last decade or so. Yes, 700 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 1: but that's right, Um, she is princess do nothing and 701 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: she failed upward after inheriting a position at the mckinn 702 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 1: z consulting from UH and then a six figure salary 703 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: to do a couple of stories. At today, I think 704 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: it was six grand and I think she was on 705 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: air for less than half an hour in total, which 706 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 1: in in media world that I gotta say, that's a 707 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: gig that I'd be psyched to have. Great non work 708 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: if you can get it. But of course, some you know, 709 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: sitting pretty at the helm of the Clinton Foundation, of 710 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,879 Speaker 1: the Clinton Global Initiative, UM money which was siphoned from 711 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: all of those high dollar donors to help subsidize her wedding. 712 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: That's humanitarian work, progressive style. Yeah. I have pointed out 713 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,439 Speaker 1: to this audience before that the Clinton Global Initiative, which 714 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: I've spent some time on the website to see it 715 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: took on issues that are very vague but very grandiose 716 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,240 Speaker 1: at the same time, and we're going to empower women 717 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: around the world, going to work on development projects around 718 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: the world, but tackling the toughest global problems. They just 719 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: shuddered the c G I that's done. So I guess 720 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:08,240 Speaker 1: those global problems were all solved after Hillary became became 721 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 1: the not presidents of the United States. But but but 722 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: I want to also ask why is there this clinging 723 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: to the Clinton brand. It is It is somewhat remarkable 724 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 1: to me that after two incredible election campaign failures, right 725 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: after being the presumed next president of the United States, 726 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: not once, but twice, Hillary Clinton is for the left still. 727 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how to say it's still a winner, 728 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: it seems, or is that just transitional until they can 729 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: create Elizabeth Warren in the image of the progressive left 730 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: as the next standard bearer. I have no ideas apathetic 731 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 1: and I don't understand the Clinton obsession either. They're they're 732 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,720 Speaker 1: really scrape in the bottom of the Clinton peanut butter 733 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: jar here with with Chelsea Clinton, and as I mentioned, 734 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: she's she's built Clinton without the charm, She's Hillary Clinton 735 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:07,359 Speaker 1: without that ruthless focus, and she's full billary the two 736 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: of them, in her bottomless well of political entitlement and 737 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 1: ideological hackery. Really, there is really nothing to recommend this 738 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,840 Speaker 1: woman for public life, let alone the private sector. And 739 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 1: I'm really trying to be as generous as possible here. Yeah, 740 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,359 Speaker 1: I know you don't want to be mean, Michelle. Neither 741 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: do I. But when someone inflicts herself for himself, but 742 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: in this case herself on the public on matters of policy, 743 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: trying to influence opinion and holding herself up as someone 744 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 1: that anyone should listen to. I would not take advice 745 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 1: on where I should go out to eat and get 746 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: some pizza on a Friday night from Chelsea Clinton. There's 747 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: nothing that she has to teach me. There's nothing that 748 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 1: I would want to hear from her. But then she 749 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: goes out there to give gems to Variety Magazine like quote. 750 00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 1: I think it's a real challenge to anyone who thinks 751 00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: this is not the moment to stand up and speak out, 752 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 1: because this is certainly not the moment to be silent. 753 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: We need everyone to rise up. Yeah, you go, girl 754 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: with that revolution from your ten million dollar condo overlooking 755 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: Madison Square Park that your parents bought for you. Yes, right, exactly. 756 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: You know. The other thing, of course, this this whole 757 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: episode exposes, it is the double standards and the hypocrisy 758 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: of all of these um liberal zealots and the press 759 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: who rage about Trump children's nepotistic advantages and then say 760 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 1: nothing about clinton privilege. Uh you know, you know, let 761 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,320 Speaker 1: alone the idea that she's some sort of feminist hero. It. 762 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm just astonished by it. I I'm not I'm not 763 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,399 Speaker 1: pro nepotism, but I think that it's fair to say 764 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 1: in the case of the Trump children, they don't get 765 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 1: there were not always being told that they are genius 766 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: is and that they're going to save the country before 767 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,720 Speaker 1: they've done, you know, before they even tried to do anything. 768 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,760 Speaker 1: With Chelsea Clinton, it's like she's staying at home counting 769 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 1: the money in the trust fund and occasionally pops up 770 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 1: to give us all a lecture, and the media treats 771 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: are like she's already saved the country. So I think 772 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 1: there's obviously an imbalance in the way that they that 773 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: they treat the kids of the two biggest political dynasties 774 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: in the country right now. But I also want to 775 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 1: ask you, Michelle, I've got you on the line, um, 776 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 1: about what do you think the Trump administration is doing 777 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,840 Speaker 1: and how it's going so far with the immigration policy. 778 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: I know there's something that's you follow very closely. We've 779 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 1: got this Dreamer suit. What do you think about the 780 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 1: administration's handling immigration thus far. Yeah, it's a mixed bag. 781 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 1: In general, I think that they're going in the right direction, 782 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: more so than either the Obama or Bush administrations preceding them, 783 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 1: particularly on sort of what I think is low hanging fruit, 784 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: the easy issues. Yes, there should be a better, stronger, 785 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 1: taller physical barrier on the southern border. Yes, Ice and 786 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 1: the Border Patrol need more manpower and help. Yes, Interior 787 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: enforcement matters, and uh it both symbolically and practically. Um, 788 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,240 Speaker 1: not being afraid to use the laws on the books 789 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: and enforce deportation and removal orders and do something about 790 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 1: the hundreds of thousands of people who are evading judicial 791 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,439 Speaker 1: decrees for those deportation orders. These are easy things. So 792 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: there's the illegal alien problem. Of course, we had Secretary 793 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 1: Kelly and Attorney General Sessions on the border to make 794 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 1: a show of force against drug cartels. All of this 795 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 1: is to the good. But then we've got the illegal 796 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,839 Speaker 1: immigration and foreign guest workers side. And I think that 797 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 1: Trump has made some of the right steps in terms 798 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 1: of signaling that he's serious about reforming foreign guest worker programs. 799 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 1: And that was a subject of my very last book, 800 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,759 Speaker 1: sold out about the H one program where you know, 801 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:08,320 Speaker 1: the Disney workers Southern California, Edison, uh even hardly Davidson 802 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,879 Speaker 1: tech workers, American tech workers or were being laid off, 803 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 1: stabbed in the back and forced to retrain their uh 804 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,239 Speaker 1: foreign H one B replacements before um, you know, being 805 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: kicked out the door. Um. But you know, again, I 806 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 1: think it's it's it's the speed at which he's doing 807 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 1: some of these these things that I think could be 808 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 1: catalyzed better. Um, but at least it's in the right direction. 809 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 1: Of course, there's gonna be a human cry from the 810 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, from the dreamer lobby, um, because you know, 811 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: for once, these people are going to actually have to 812 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,240 Speaker 1: worry about the fact that they violated not just one law. 813 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,319 Speaker 1: And in the case of most of the people here 814 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 1: who are illegally that got dap DAPKA and DAPPA benefits, 815 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: they've they've all violated multiple laws. Of both civil infractions 816 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: and you know, potential felonies to be able to stay 817 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 1: in this country. The Attorney General address this. Here's what 818 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 1: he had to say, Play doc and rolleys are not 819 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 1: being targeted. I don't know why this individual was picked up. 820 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 1: Everybody in the country illegally is subject to being deported. 821 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,280 Speaker 1: So people come here and they stay here a few years, 822 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: and somehow they think that they're not subject to being deported. 823 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,799 Speaker 1: Well they are, Uh, they are. And and I think 824 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 1: people under the last administration began to confuse prosecutorial discretion 825 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,959 Speaker 1: with and and prioritization with a change in the law. 826 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,720 Speaker 1: The president was not able to change the law. President 827 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 1: Obama could not just with a penetphone decide that people 828 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 1: were here illegally. Correct. And you know, thanks to the 829 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 1: federal judge in Texas, Andrew Hannon, Um, that entire scheme 830 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:54,439 Speaker 1: of usurping what properly belongs in many cases to Congress, Um, 831 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 1: you know, to enforce to have enforcement of those uh laws. 832 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 1: He was you know, the Obama regime was was called out. 833 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, these people have come to 834 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:10,200 Speaker 1: expect as an entitlement that our thicket of immigration laws 835 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: are never going to be enforced against them. And you know, 836 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 1: I've I've said many times over the years since I 837 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,880 Speaker 1: wrote Invasion back in two thousand two, that all of 838 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 1: those statutes, you know, it's it's uh, you know, chapter 839 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 1: eight chapter eighteen, so many of them, of these sections 840 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: that are already in our laws, these are This is 841 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: not a cafeteria menu. You don't get to pick and 842 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 1: choose which ones to followers rule of law a la 843 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,879 Speaker 1: carte Michelle. One more before we let you go. How 844 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 1: we're almost in a hundred days. I know it's an arbitrary, 845 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,359 Speaker 1: an arbitrary standard of well, how's he doing the first 846 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,439 Speaker 1: hundred days? But does everyone's doing in Michelle first hundred days? 847 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 1: How's this administration doing? I think I'd give them a 848 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 1: B overall, And I think that the grade has to 849 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 1: be adjusted. You have to adjust UM for the incredible 850 00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: amount of UM propaganda and this direction and hostility UM 851 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: they have to face every day from a press uh 852 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:11,719 Speaker 1: that warps uh the truth, you know, to to UM 853 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 1: put its own narratives out there. The resistance is not 854 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,600 Speaker 1: just the Democrats. The resistance is Hollywood. The resistance is 855 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,799 Speaker 1: the liberal media. And uh, I really think, you know, 856 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I was a kid during the Reagan years 857 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 1: and UM, but well aware enough to know that UM 858 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,319 Speaker 1: as as as difficult as it was for Reagan to 859 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,840 Speaker 1: do everything he did because of the constant on flat 860 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 1: of twenty four seven cable news, UH and social media, 861 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: there has not been a president and modern American life 862 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: who has had to um struggle against that opposition UM 863 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,760 Speaker 1: as as as extreme as as Trump pass.

I gotta say the tweet 871 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 1: of the day has to go to, at least for 872 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,920 Speaker 1: my money, has to go to The Onion, the satirical 873 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:30,319 Speaker 1: news site that put out this this piece Berkeley campus 874 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,840 Speaker 1: on lockdown after loose pages from Wall Street Journal found 875 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 1: on park bench totally totally nails it, absolutely true. I mean, 876 00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,640 Speaker 1: what they better bust out that has Matt suits if 877 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 1: they get some National Review, old copies of National Review, 878 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:49,279 Speaker 1: perhaps with articles written by by Buckley himself. It's like 879 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 1: nuclear fallout. Shelter must be needed in that case. Um, 880 00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 1: my understanding is about everyone's been reaching out to and 881 00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, and Coulter, because of the Berkeley, 882 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 1: Berkeley phenomenon of the birthplace of the so called campus 883 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 1: free speech movement, is shutting down speech, doesn't allow invite 884 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 1: speakers and then disinvites them because students are going to 885 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:17,800 Speaker 1: be violent and destructive. That's pretty insane, but that's where 886 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: it is. So well, if n has time, maybe we'll 887 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:21,799 Speaker 1: get her stuff by at some point. But she's been 888 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 1: all over all over the media talking about this. I 889 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: my understanding is why I'm bringing it up. She's still 890 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,799 Speaker 1: going to go out there speak so um that that 891 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,800 Speaker 1: may in fact happen. We had Heather McDonald from the 892 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,719 Speaker 1: Manhattan Institute on recently. She had a similar experience at 893 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 1: Claremont McKenna. I think it was and U C l A, 894 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:43,319 Speaker 1: these California schools. Amazing that these these young people in 895 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 1: California is such a beautiful place and so much going 896 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:50,319 Speaker 1: for it, such bad politics. What a shame. Speaking of 897 00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,799 Speaker 1: bad politics. The Democrats are trying to get stuff going, 898 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,280 Speaker 1: you know that they're trying to dust themselves off after 899 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:02,399 Speaker 1: after you know, Russia stole the election from Hillary. I kid, 900 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,399 Speaker 1: I kid, but um, they're trying to, you know, get 901 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,840 Speaker 1: some momentum going. And they have got d n C 902 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,560 Speaker 1: chair Tom Perez, who's out there. Some there's some potty 903 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,960 Speaker 1: mouth stuff going on. He's cursing in public. This is 904 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 1: the d n C chairman. Um, so we have this 905 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,840 Speaker 1: bleeped right. I mean, he's saying these these bad things. 906 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,319 Speaker 1: But yes, that's not appropriate for somebody to somebody be 907 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 1: out there representing the d n C with with the 908 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,799 Speaker 1: potty mouth stuff going on here. That's not cool. But 909 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 1: here's what he said about Republicans. Those Republican leaders and 910 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 1: President Trump don't give us about the people they were 911 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: trying to hurt. I mean, really, that's what he's out there, 912 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:50,359 Speaker 1: that's what that's how he's getting people, uh fired up. Um. 913 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 1: But you got Bernie Sanders, that's where he's still around. 914 00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 1: He's still here. He's still a part of the d 915 00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:01,440 Speaker 1: n C technically, although he doesn't necessarily wave that Democrat 916 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:06,600 Speaker 1: flag particularly high. Um. He was asked whether he calls 917 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,880 Speaker 1: himself a Democrat when he's on this you it's a 918 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:14,800 Speaker 1: unity tour, everybody. It sounds like something that Aldus Snow 919 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:18,120 Speaker 1: who's the rock star played by the guy he used 920 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 1: to be married to Katy Perry, whose name I forget 921 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,600 Speaker 1: right now? What's his name? M Russell Brand in the 922 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 1: movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which I very much enjoy a 923 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,759 Speaker 1: little raunchy, but I very much enjoy it. Sounds like 924 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 1: Russell Brown a unity tool, you know, like unify people, 925 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, like unity is a purpose of the tool. 926 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 1: But you've got Sanders on this unity tour moment where 927 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,720 Speaker 1: he can bring everybody together be like Detroit, it's Bernie's party, baby, 928 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,800 Speaker 1: uh and instead, well we get this from the burn. 929 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: Do you consider yourself a Democrat? I'm an independent, Bernie. No, 930 00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 1: I'm an independent. I mean he's a Democrat socialist, but 931 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:03,479 Speaker 1: look to him with this, I'm an independent above the 932 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 1: fray of the Democratic Party. I have to say. The 933 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:11,319 Speaker 1: Democrat pundit journalist people that I know, and a few 934 00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,280 Speaker 1: of them I even like, they're still very upset about 935 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,839 Speaker 1: this this Albernie thing. That's really what that's why they're 936 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 1: all this Unity Tour. There's a there's some healing that 937 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 1: needs to happen here between the pro Hillary apparatus that 938 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:29,799 Speaker 1: that failed not once but twice. You know, as Bush said, 939 00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 1: fool me once, can't can't get can't get fooled again. 940 00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,280 Speaker 1: The Democrat voters got fooled again with Hillary second time around. 941 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,879 Speaker 1: Not a charm did not work Hillary and charm hey 942 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 1: Garter gather. Um, So you had Sanders saying he's not 943 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,439 Speaker 1: a Democrat and then to top it all off, during 944 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,880 Speaker 1: this unity tour. It's not a tool where there's a 945 00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,360 Speaker 1: lot of unity, you know, it's not unification of Democrat party. 946 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 1: All this snow, it's a lot I'm playing gigs for 947 00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:59,200 Speaker 1: the unity tool. Um, you got the Unity Tour happening, 948 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:06,560 Speaker 1: and you got Sam Unders and Perez and finally Perez. 949 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,880 Speaker 1: Thanks Bernie for, let's be honest, unleashing some of his 950 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: star power here, because Bernie the Democrats is I mean, 951 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,319 Speaker 1: it's the closest thing they've got to a rock star 952 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,799 Speaker 1: right now, Bernie, Which isn't that amazing when you think 953 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:26,040 Speaker 1: about it, you know, he's amazing, But this is how 954 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:31,279 Speaker 1: it went when uh Bernie thanked Perez. Please thank Tom 955 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:40,640 Speaker 1: Perez for his remarks boo, he's getting booed. So, you know, 956 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,840 Speaker 1: while while it's fun for the Democrat media establishment to 957 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,840 Speaker 1: constantly point at the divisions within the Republican Party and 958 00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 1: to try to, uh say, there's inconsistencies with Trump's previous 959 00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 1: rhetoric and that he's not keeping promises and that he's 960 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,960 Speaker 1: a bad guy all that stuff, let's understand that there 961 00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 1: was there was something of a of a s prest 962 00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 1: civil war within the Democrat party um politically speaking, and 963 00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:11,360 Speaker 1: it is not completely resolved yet. Bernie Sanders in a 964 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,560 Speaker 1: free and fair and open election there I say, which 965 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,920 Speaker 1: it really wasn't. On the Democrat side you had in 966 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,480 Speaker 1: all these super I remember being over at CNN talking 967 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 1: about the Democrats side of things with some of the 968 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 1: Democrats strategies, and I'm like, so the super delicates you 969 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,000 Speaker 1: just have a bunch of people that are like party 970 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 1: Democrat folks that get to just be like, well, we're 971 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 1: going for Hillary, even though no one has voted for us, 972 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 1: to say we can vote for Hillary. That's an interesting 973 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,120 Speaker 1: that's an interesting little and there was hundreds of them, right, 974 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 1: so it was. Anyway, it's fun to point out that 975 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: they still have their their own problems. They need to 976 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:41,160 Speaker 1: get their house in order. They need to come with 977 00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:45,760 Speaker 1: a candidate. I guess maybe it'll be Elizabeth Warren. That 978 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,760 Speaker 1: don't be interesting. UM, I want to talk to you 979 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 1: about Iran. I know we said we mentioned that before 980 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 1: Iran policy, the Iran Deal. Obama said it will stop 981 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,120 Speaker 1: them from getting nukes. That was the promise. Well, they 982 00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 1: also said that about chemical weapons with a sad that 983 00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,160 Speaker 1: they were all gone. That was a lie. Is the 984 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 1: new deal a line? We'll get into it. Stay with me, 985 00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:10,400 Speaker 1: Buck Sextendment with America. Now, the Freedom Hut is fired 986 00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 1: up as Team Buck. As symbols shoulder to shoulder, shields 987 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,760 Speaker 1: high call in eight four four nine D Buck. That's 988 00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:24,080 Speaker 1: eight four four D to eight to five and unchecked, 989 00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,600 Speaker 1: Iran has the potential to travel the same path as 990 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 1: North Korea and take the world along with it. The 991 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 1: Trump administration has no intention of passing the buck to 992 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 1: a future administration on Iran. The evidence is clear. Iran's 993 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 1: provocative actions threatened the United States, the region, and the world. 994 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,920 Speaker 1: The Trump administration is currently conducting a comprehensive review of 995 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,760 Speaker 1: our Iran policy. Once we have finalized our conclusions, we 996 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,920 Speaker 1: will meet the challenges Iran poses with clarity and conviction. 997 00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:01,120 Speaker 1: Is the Trump administration going to keep the Iran nuclear 998 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 1: deal or toss it out? That's the question want to address, 999 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,400 Speaker 1: and we're joined by Dr Jonathan Schanzer now to help 1000 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 1: us with it. He is the senior vice president at 1001 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 1: the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He's also work as 1002 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,600 Speaker 1: a terrorism finance analyst at the U S Department of 1003 00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 1: the Treasury. Jonathan, great to have you, Thanks Bucks, good 1004 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,880 Speaker 1: to be with you. So we heard from we heard 1005 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,720 Speaker 1: from Secretary of State Tillerson there, and we also have 1006 00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump earlier today saying the following not living up 1007 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 1: to the spirit of the agreement. I can tell you that, 1008 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,280 Speaker 1: and we're analyzing it very very carefully, and we'll have 1009 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,920 Speaker 1: something to say about it in the not too distant future. 1010 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,240 Speaker 1: But Iran has not lived up to the spirit of 1011 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:52,640 Speaker 1: the agreement, and they have to do that. I'm I'm 1012 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,919 Speaker 1: a little confused here, Jonathan. A couple of days ago, 1013 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 1: I think they said that Iran was fulfilling its obligation, 1014 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 1: or rather we were told that Arama fulfilling its obligations 1015 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 1: under the Joint Comprehensive plan of Action the j Z 1016 01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,000 Speaker 1: p o A. They could have come up with a 1017 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 1: cooler acronym, but anyway, Uh. And then we're hearing Trump 1018 01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,760 Speaker 1: say that they're not living up to the spirit of 1019 01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,280 Speaker 1: the agreement. Which is it or is it both? Or 1020 01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 1: what's going on? So these are all great questions, and 1021 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,920 Speaker 1: I think the answer is all of the above, and 1022 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 1: it's it's a little complicated, but but bear with me. 1023 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,600 Speaker 1: So on the one hand, the Iranians are abiding by 1024 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,640 Speaker 1: the actual terms of the deal. In other words, they've 1025 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:36,280 Speaker 1: mothballed a bunch of their nuclear facilities and they have well, 1026 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,040 Speaker 1: there have been a few infractions where they've gone a 1027 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 1: little bit over with uranium or a heavy water, but 1028 01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 1: they have notified the right people and they've taken care 1029 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,880 Speaker 1: of the problem. I personally think there should have been 1030 01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,800 Speaker 1: sanctions for those, but it was ironed out. Uh. And overall, 1031 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,000 Speaker 1: they appear to be hewing to the letter of the 1032 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,560 Speaker 1: agreement as such, and that's why it is difficult for 1033 01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:00,400 Speaker 1: anyone to go after them for you know, gross violence aations. 1034 01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:05,680 Speaker 1: Now that said, the U N resolution that codified the 1035 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:11,200 Speaker 1: deal called upon Iran not to test ballistic missiles. Now 1036 01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:15,040 Speaker 1: there is some debate among u N scholars about whether 1037 01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,840 Speaker 1: that was a definitive call or a suggestion. Most people 1038 01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,200 Speaker 1: think that it's more of a suggestion. But as we know, 1039 01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 1: Iran has been testing those ballistic missiles, and typically when 1040 01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: people talk about violating the spirit of the deal, this 1041 01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 1: is what they're referring to. What they're basically doing is 1042 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 1: mastering the delivery system for a nuclear weapon at some 1043 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 1: point in the future. And of course, the entire deal 1044 01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,560 Speaker 1: was structured so that Iran could continue to develop all 1045 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 1: the technologies that it needed, so that in fifteen years 1046 01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,520 Speaker 1: or so they would be able to completely master the 1047 01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 1: nuclear cycle and be able to be at least a 1048 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 1: turnkey away sort of the way that Japan is. Of course, 1049 01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,560 Speaker 1: Iran is nowhere near a peaceful country the way that 1050 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,160 Speaker 1: Japan and is. So we have all of that, and 1051 01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,920 Speaker 1: then there is the broader plan that I think the 1052 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,040 Speaker 1: Obama are rather the Trump administration has to undo what 1053 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,720 Speaker 1: the Obama administration had done, and that is to impose 1054 01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 1: non nuclear sanctions against Iran. What would that what would 1055 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:18,640 Speaker 1: that look like? And by the way, isn't there a 1056 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:23,920 Speaker 1: separation already between sanctions on the on Iranian conventional weapons 1057 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,440 Speaker 1: activity versus the sanctions of the nuclear program or what 1058 01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:31,080 Speaker 1: what is the either link or separation between those two currently, right, 1059 01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 1: So this is exactly I mean, this is part of 1060 01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,919 Speaker 1: the deal that in four years from now, the ban 1061 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,240 Speaker 1: on weapons is going to be lifted and and basically 1062 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,240 Speaker 1: Iran will be able to buy and sell weapons all 1063 01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,680 Speaker 1: over the arms market. And that's one of the things 1064 01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,960 Speaker 1: that they got as a result of the deal. In 1065 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 1: seven years, the ballistic missile UM ban is going to 1066 01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,600 Speaker 1: be lifted, and so they'll be able to develop ballistic 1067 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,360 Speaker 1: missiles legally. All these things are part of the deal 1068 01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,680 Speaker 1: where things sunset over time, and it's why so many 1069 01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,439 Speaker 1: of us thought that the Iran nuclear deal was such 1070 01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 1: a bad deal, because it gave Iran everything that it wanted, 1071 01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:04,960 Speaker 1: just you know, it just takes a little bit of 1072 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 1: time for them to get to the finish line. But 1073 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,560 Speaker 1: the plan right now is we understand it, for the 1074 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 1: Trump administration, is that they are going to start imposing 1075 01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 1: UH sanctions on things that are completely not included in 1076 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,680 Speaker 1: the nuclear deal. I mean, we were unhappy when the 1077 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,840 Speaker 1: nuclear deal was signed, for example, that it didn't address 1078 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 1: Iran's support for his balla for for Hamas for the 1079 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 1: Iraqi terrorist groups that were attacking U S servicemen UH, 1080 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:34,800 Speaker 1: that it didn't address Iran's support for the Aside regime 1081 01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,520 Speaker 1: in Syria on the slaughter there, That it didn't address 1082 01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,800 Speaker 1: Iran's support for the Hoothies and Yemen, or human rights 1083 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,360 Speaker 1: violations or cyber activities, all of those things were left 1084 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,120 Speaker 1: out of the deal, and and so people were really unhappy. 1085 01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:49,960 Speaker 1: But here's the good part is that legally we can 1086 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,160 Speaker 1: sanction them still for those activities according to the j 1087 01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 1: c p o A. And so my sense right now 1088 01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:59,360 Speaker 1: is that the Trump administration is gearing up for those 1089 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,080 Speaker 1: non new we are sanctions where they can really hammer 1090 01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,680 Speaker 1: the Iran the Iranians for all of the things that 1091 01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,200 Speaker 1: they've been doing all along that should have been part 1092 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 1: of the deal but never were included. Is it fair 1093 01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,680 Speaker 1: to say that in the in the short term, it 1094 01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,360 Speaker 1: benefits Iran to abide by the deal, that it would 1095 01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:23,280 Speaker 1: be even from the craziest uh maniacal Mullah's perspective, violation 1096 01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:25,440 Speaker 1: isn't in their interests right now? I mean, based on 1097 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,040 Speaker 1: what you're telling me, playing this out and trying to 1098 01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,920 Speaker 1: get a greater relaxation of other sanctions and going along 1099 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:34,920 Speaker 1: with the timeline would be the smart strategic move, especially 1100 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,000 Speaker 1: if they're playing the long game as they have been, 1101 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,640 Speaker 1: and we're not gonna we wouldn't see violations then for 1102 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,160 Speaker 1: quite a while, or is there something that you think 1103 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,000 Speaker 1: might happen before then? Are they going to get antsy? 1104 01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,960 Speaker 1: Are they going to get impatient with this process? They 1105 01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:52,080 Speaker 1: would be dumb if they got impatient with the process, 1106 01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,760 Speaker 1: because they're going to get everything they want right. They 1107 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 1: were given the sanctions relief and they're still getting it right. 1108 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, companies are uh slowly finding their 1109 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,520 Speaker 1: way back into Iran doing business with Iranian companies, and 1110 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,919 Speaker 1: they're still waiting for the full payout from that. They've 1111 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:11,200 Speaker 1: got the sanctions relief cash that we've provided for them. 1112 01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,520 Speaker 1: And then again you have the the the lapsing of 1113 01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 1: the arms embargo, the ballistic missile embargo, and then elapsing 1114 01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:23,440 Speaker 1: of the actual restrictions on nuclear development, which comes in 1115 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,120 Speaker 1: roughly a decade or decade and a half. So if 1116 01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,320 Speaker 1: they just wait for fifteen years, they will have all 1117 01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,720 Speaker 1: of their money, they will have all of their weapons, 1118 01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,760 Speaker 1: and they will have a nuclear program. Now, there are 1119 01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,800 Speaker 1: analysts that I have talked to UH. In fact, one 1120 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:41,040 Speaker 1: who was involved in brokering the deal who told me 1121 01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,880 Speaker 1: that he believed that in roughly three to four years, 1122 01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,320 Speaker 1: the Iranians will start to cheat, not rapaciously, but they'll 1123 01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,360 Speaker 1: cheat at the margins. And essentially what that will mean 1124 01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:53,080 Speaker 1: is that Iran has gotten most of what it wanted. 1125 01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,320 Speaker 1: They will have most of the cash, most of the 1126 01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,440 Speaker 1: sanctions relief, and that's where they'll start to test the 1127 01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 1: limits and to find out out whether, for example, the 1128 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 1: Europeans or Democrats for that matter, UH try to prevent UH. 1129 01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,720 Speaker 1: You know, those who would try to hold her onto account. 1130 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:10,000 Speaker 1: They would say, look, we don't need to go to 1131 01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,800 Speaker 1: war over such a small violation. Let's look the other way, 1132 01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:15,960 Speaker 1: because there's going to be so much investment in Iran, 1133 01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,760 Speaker 1: and because so much water will have been under the bridge. 1134 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 1: So but but that's essentially what I would expect them 1135 01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,840 Speaker 1: to cheat. Certainly not now while they're gaining so much 1136 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,880 Speaker 1: from this nuclear deal. But even if even then, I 1137 01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:30,280 Speaker 1: don't think it's a smart move for them, because they're 1138 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,680 Speaker 1: gonna go nuclear in fifteen years. That's a blink of 1139 01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:36,560 Speaker 1: an eye. We know that Secretary Defense Mattis was in 1140 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:41,360 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia earlier this week, and he's calling for a 1141 01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:47,600 Speaker 1: political solution in Yemen. I've seen some that are worried 1142 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,320 Speaker 1: that the Trump administration may get more Look, we can 1143 01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,280 Speaker 1: calling for political solutions is a is a no cost 1144 01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,280 Speaker 1: nice thing to do for a whole bunch of conflicts, right, 1145 01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,680 Speaker 1: But in this case, do you think that the US 1146 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:00,960 Speaker 1: might decide that we have more of an interest in 1147 01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:02,880 Speaker 1: Yemen or do you think that or rather the Trump 1148 01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 1: administration will decide that. Well, look, I think the Trump 1149 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,560 Speaker 1: administration has already indicated that it does have an interest 1150 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,200 Speaker 1: in Yemen, but maybe not necessarily for all the reasons 1151 01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 1: that the Saudis would hope. I mean, look there, I 1152 01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,880 Speaker 1: think the US is certainly unhappy about the Iranian support 1153 01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,080 Speaker 1: to the Hoothie rebels there. But I also I think 1154 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,280 Speaker 1: we we've seen an interest in all Kainda of the 1155 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 1: Arabian peninsula. At the first raid that the President conducted 1156 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,400 Speaker 1: was the one that took place in Yemen against al Qaeda. 1157 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,760 Speaker 1: That that splinter group of al Qaeda is probably the 1158 01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:41,400 Speaker 1: group that is most equipped to carry out attacks against 1159 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,680 Speaker 1: the U s homeland. Uh So, what I think this 1160 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,160 Speaker 1: administration wants to do is to try to bring about 1161 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,840 Speaker 1: greater calum there, have greater visibility on all the various 1162 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,919 Speaker 1: factions that are operating in that theater, and I think 1163 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,440 Speaker 1: continue to take them out. I don't think though, that 1164 01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,440 Speaker 1: Iran's activities there are the number one threat for the 1165 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,240 Speaker 1: United Dates, at least not the way that Trump administration 1166 01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:06,160 Speaker 1: sees it now. Jonathan Shanzer is a vice president at 1167 01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,800 Speaker 1: the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He's at j Shanzer 1168 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,439 Speaker 1: on Twitter. Jonathan, thank you so much for joining. Great 1169 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:17,120 Speaker 1: to have you anytime.

That's gonna be fun stuff too. We'll 1177 01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:46,360 Speaker 1: be right back. I wanted to revisit the Hillary situation 1178 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:50,120 Speaker 1: here for a second. We talked about Chelsea earlier on 1179 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:54,640 Speaker 1: the show with uh the wonderful Michelle malkin Um. But 1180 01:08:55,640 --> 01:09:00,679 Speaker 1: there's this book that's out Shattered Inside Hillary Clinton Doue campaign. 1181 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,559 Speaker 1: I know this is the second day that I'm mentioning 1182 01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,599 Speaker 1: a book that I have not yet read. And a 1183 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,920 Speaker 1: vast majority of the time when I'm on this show, 1184 01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:09,960 Speaker 1: um and I talked to you about a book, it 1185 01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:11,479 Speaker 1: will be a book that I have read, I promised, 1186 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:13,120 Speaker 1: and the books that I've mentioned the past or books 1187 01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 1: that I have read and enjoyed very much. But this 1188 01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:17,719 Speaker 1: time around, I guess I need to get a copy 1189 01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,360 Speaker 1: of this one, and we should invite on the authors. 1190 01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,400 Speaker 1: Although oh yeah, okay, we already did. We already did. 1191 01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:24,479 Speaker 1: The team here is a step ahead of me. We 1192 01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,160 Speaker 1: invited on the author at a minimum, because sometimes the 1193 01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:33,080 Speaker 1: publisher will send the publisher will send a free copy 1194 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:37,400 Speaker 1: of the book, which is nice, because I doubt that 1195 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:40,800 Speaker 1: this is going to tell us all that much we 1196 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,839 Speaker 1: don't know in terms of the the character and nature 1197 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,200 Speaker 1: of the players involved. Let me give you a little 1198 01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,559 Speaker 1: sense of what I'm talking about here. This is from 1199 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 1: the Hill The Hill website, uh quote. It offers a 1200 01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,560 Speaker 1: glimpse of the dynamics inside Team Hiller is about the 1201 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:02,560 Speaker 1: book after the loss of the Michigan Primary From Shattered 1202 01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:08,160 Speaker 1: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign not Which is the Which 1203 01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,960 Speaker 1: is the book that's out by Jonathan Allen and Amy Parns. 1204 01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:15,320 Speaker 1: Not only did Hillary and Bill Clinton blame everyone around 1205 01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:20,679 Speaker 1: them for her failures, Hillary meeted out childish revenge during 1206 01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 1: a subsequent debate prep I I there. I would so 1207 01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:29,599 Speaker 1: like to see this video. I know it doesn't exist. Problem, 1208 01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:36,640 Speaker 1: although did they videotape debate prep? Very possibly? I just 1209 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:40,559 Speaker 1: called myself and that one. Is it possible that debate 1210 01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:44,160 Speaker 1: prep was something that was video? We'll never see it? 1211 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,320 Speaker 1: Of course this is we'll never get it. But I 1212 01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,479 Speaker 1: would love to have seen this. But here's the scene, 1213 01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:53,160 Speaker 1: as written in Shattered Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign. We'll see. 1214 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:56,479 Speaker 1: I'm Jonathan Allen. I think they're they're like leftist. I 1215 01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,840 Speaker 1: think he writes for political or something right, so they 1216 01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:01,080 Speaker 1: probably yeah, they probably won't do right wing stuff. But 1217 01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 1: that's all right. I mean, and I'm not even right wing. 1218 01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm just reasonable, just a reasonable guy who reads and 1219 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,479 Speaker 1: researches and knows some things about some stuff, you know. 1220 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,400 Speaker 1: And and I'm very very friendly to everybody that we 1221 01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,720 Speaker 1: invite in the show until they're not friendly. But I'm 1222 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 1: you guys know this listening. I'm very friendly to everybody 1223 01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,879 Speaker 1: when they call it, and I'll even invite on some Democrats, 1224 01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:26,480 Speaker 1: will even occasionally bring on some uh you know, interesting 1225 01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:32,519 Speaker 1: left wing professor type. So um here, oh okay, sorry, 1226 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,000 Speaker 1: back to the book. I'm I'm I'm digressing. I need 1227 01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,960 Speaker 1: to stay on task. Uh. Here's what it says. The 1228 01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,840 Speaker 1: blame belonged to her campaign. This is an excerpt from 1229 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,799 Speaker 1: the book. The blame belonged to her campaign She believed 1230 01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:46,799 Speaker 1: for failing This is after the Michigan primary, for failing 1231 01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:52,000 Speaker 1: to hone her message, energize important constituencies, and take care 1232 01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,880 Speaker 1: of business in getting voters to the polls. And now 1233 01:11:56,200 --> 01:12:00,000 Speaker 1: Jake Sullivan, her de facto chief strategist, was giving her 1234 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:04,760 Speaker 1: her lip about the last answer she delivered in the 1235 01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:10,919 Speaker 1: prep session. That's not very good, Sullivan corrected, Really, Hillary 1236 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:14,800 Speaker 1: snapped back. The room fell silent. Why don't you do it? 1237 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 1: The comment was pointed un sarcastic, but she meant it. 1238 01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:24,560 Speaker 1: So for the next thirty minutes there he was pretending 1239 01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:29,360 Speaker 1: to be Hillary while she critiqued his performance. Every time 1240 01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 1: the Yale lawyer and former high school debate champion opened 1241 01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:37,479 Speaker 1: his mouth. Hillary cut him off. That isn't very good. 1242 01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:42,320 Speaker 1: She'd say, you can do better. Then she'd hammer him 1243 01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:47,280 Speaker 1: with a Bernie line. I need to get this book. 1244 01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:51,800 Speaker 1: This is sounding like it will be enjoyable to read. 1245 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:56,360 Speaker 1: Here's what I'm realizing. At first, I figured, well, how 1246 01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:58,960 Speaker 1: much truth can there really be? He got political journalists. 1247 01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna want access to the Clinton's and they're going 1248 01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:07,120 Speaker 1: to want uh, some connectivity to the Democratic Party's upper 1249 01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:10,280 Speaker 1: reaches going forward, as in they want high level access. 1250 01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:15,160 Speaker 1: They're not gonna say anything that's really that that rough 1251 01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:21,240 Speaker 1: about the Clintons, but actually, given the Hillary Bernie dynamic 1252 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:26,040 Speaker 1: and the need to re energize the Democratic Party, um 1253 01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:29,480 Speaker 1: while I think they want to leverage the Clinton machine 1254 01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,879 Speaker 1: but energize it with the Bernie base. That's the idea. 1255 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,599 Speaker 1: That's the the magic trick that they're trying to pull 1256 01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,519 Speaker 1: off here. But that means that there will be some 1257 01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:42,880 Speaker 1: throwing of the Clinton campaign under the bus that is 1258 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:48,640 Speaker 1: allowable in Democrats circles. It will be a necessary cleansing 1259 01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:51,680 Speaker 1: step for them going forward to try and find a 1260 01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:56,160 Speaker 1: way to bring all of the best that they can 1261 01:13:56,960 --> 01:14:00,000 Speaker 1: up against Trump. Ben Well in the mid terms before 1262 01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:04,040 Speaker 1: or that, right, So I I just found this exchange. 1263 01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,799 Speaker 1: This is everything that you think. You know that sometimes 1264 01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:08,519 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've had the experience. You go on a 1265 01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,400 Speaker 1: vacation somewhere, or you go forget about vacation, although that's 1266 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:13,760 Speaker 1: fun to think about. Man Beach sounds nice right now, 1267 01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,280 Speaker 1: But you go anywhere and it's exactly what you expect 1268 01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,080 Speaker 1: without having ever been there. It is. It is what 1269 01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:24,280 Speaker 1: you It feels, looks, smells like what you thought the 1270 01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:26,439 Speaker 1: place would, whether it's a place you really want to 1271 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:29,519 Speaker 1: be or place you don't really much want to be. UM, 1272 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,920 Speaker 1: it's an interesting experience. You've had it just from looking 1273 01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:33,800 Speaker 1: at maybe photos of it and hearing about it, you 1274 01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:35,400 Speaker 1: kind of know what you're in for and then that 1275 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,519 Speaker 1: it is that thing that can happen with people sometimes too. 1276 01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,360 Speaker 1: And I will say that for a long time. The 1277 01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 1: more I have learned about Hillary Clinton, the more I 1278 01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,759 Speaker 1: know about Hillary Clinton, the more I'm like, yeah, that's 1279 01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:53,800 Speaker 1: exactly what I would have expected all along. Um, And 1280 01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:58,360 Speaker 1: that lack of of warmth and that lack of connection 1281 01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,800 Speaker 1: with voters that people were talking about so much during 1282 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,240 Speaker 1: the campaign, this was a very real thing. It wasn't 1283 01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,719 Speaker 1: just something that was brought up because we go on TV, 1284 01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:10,240 Speaker 1: we need to find things to say about different candidates, 1285 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,479 Speaker 1: and let me tell you, sometimes it's not always. It's 1286 01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:13,840 Speaker 1: not always that easy. I mean I've been in the 1287 01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:17,080 Speaker 1: position when they're like Buck governor, PATTACKI is a Republican 1288 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,320 Speaker 1: candidate for president, what think you? And I'm like, ah, 1289 01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,920 Speaker 1: he's not gonna win. I mean, it's kind of a 1290 01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:28,080 Speaker 1: not not really a lot of it's tough to come 1291 01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:33,439 Speaker 1: up with, uh, the the literary eloquence and brilliance of 1292 01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:37,000 Speaker 1: the funeral oration of Pericles or something when you're talking 1293 01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:40,240 Speaker 1: about like the likelihood of PATTACKI winning the election. But 1294 01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:44,240 Speaker 1: with Hillary, you kept hearing this that she was um 1295 01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:48,400 Speaker 1: going to be or that she was she was not 1296 01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 1: connecting with voters. She did not, And what you really 1297 01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:52,280 Speaker 1: find out at the end of it is she's just 1298 01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:55,639 Speaker 1: she's just not very nice, just not a very nice 1299 01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:59,840 Speaker 1: person and not charming. I mean there's some who will 1300 01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:01,679 Speaker 1: try to say, oh, if you're in your inner circle, 1301 01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,519 Speaker 1: she has such warmth, and then they always bring up Bill. 1302 01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,920 Speaker 1: You know, Oh, Bill was amazingly I'm amazing. I mean, 1303 01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,080 Speaker 1: I'll just I'll give you warmth and give you a hug. 1304 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 1: I'll bring you in so close and you know, you 1305 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,360 Speaker 1: know your your your bosom up against mob bosom, and 1306 01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:17,960 Speaker 1: you know we'll be all snugly. Yeah. Bill. Bill was 1307 01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,599 Speaker 1: good at warmth, I guess, but different kind of warmth 1308 01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:27,120 Speaker 1: Hillary was not. Hillary was not good at projecting that 1309 01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:31,160 Speaker 1: sense of yeah, as Bill said, feeling feeling the pain 1310 01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:34,240 Speaker 1: of the electorate. Instead, it was always Queen Hillary and 1311 01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,719 Speaker 1: they were trying to hide that. Um all right, hitting 1312 01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:43,200 Speaker 1: a break back in a few he spreads freedom because 1313 01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:47,040 Speaker 1: freedom is not gonna spread itself. Bug Sexton his back. 1314 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:52,240 Speaker 1: Sarah Westwood joins now she's the White House correspondent for 1315 01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,840 Speaker 1: the Washington Examiner, to tell us what's going on down 1316 01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,479 Speaker 1: in our nation's capital. Sarah, thank you for joining, Thanks 1317 01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:02,080 Speaker 1: for having Okay, we are told that there is a 1318 01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:07,080 Speaker 1: new Obamacare replacement plan that Republicans have floated. What do 1319 01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,360 Speaker 1: we know about it and when do we think they'll 1320 01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:13,080 Speaker 1: take action on it? Well, we know that it's taking 1321 01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:16,840 Speaker 1: the shape of a lot of previous revived healthcare negotiations 1322 01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,960 Speaker 1: that we've seen since the talks originally collapsed in March 1323 01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:25,640 Speaker 1: twenty four. Basically, Conservatives want states to have the ability 1324 01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:28,280 Speaker 1: to opt out of some of these burdens and Obamacare 1325 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:33,000 Speaker 1: regulations like community ratings UH or some of these ones 1326 01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:38,760 Speaker 1: that force insurance companies to provide UH coverage for all 1327 01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,720 Speaker 1: different kinds of conditions no matter who you are. If 1328 01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,160 Speaker 1: you're a man, you have to buy a plan that 1329 01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:46,640 Speaker 1: covers maternity care, for instance. These are the kinds of 1330 01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:51,080 Speaker 1: regulations that conservatives want to undo, but some more centrist 1331 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,640 Speaker 1: Republicans are nervous that if you undo just some of 1332 01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:56,200 Speaker 1: the regulations but not all of them, then you're going 1333 01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:59,880 Speaker 1: to put the sickest constituents at risk, and so Center 1334 01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:03,720 Speaker 1: US likes the fact that the new plan involves waivers 1335 01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 1: that let states opt out, but more importantly, let states 1336 01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:13,240 Speaker 1: continue to remain under the regulations if they are nervous 1337 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,719 Speaker 1: about the effects of repealing the regulations. So the waivers 1338 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,880 Speaker 1: are what is creating the conditions for a healthcare bill 1339 01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:23,240 Speaker 1: to potentially make it through the House. It's unclear whether 1340 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,000 Speaker 1: that's going to get done by next week, but it 1341 01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:30,639 Speaker 1: seems like Republicans are finally coming to a consensus. Where 1342 01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,040 Speaker 1: is the Freedom Caucus on this? We know the last 1343 01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:36,080 Speaker 1: time around they were none too happy with the GOP 1344 01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:40,080 Speaker 1: replacement bill, um, what have we heard so far from them? 1345 01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:43,679 Speaker 1: Or have we heard from them? The Freedom Caucus has 1346 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,000 Speaker 1: not walked away from the negotiating table, which has been 1347 01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:52,559 Speaker 1: good for President Trump and good for centrist Republicans who 1348 01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,400 Speaker 1: wanted to who were nervous about some of the changes 1349 01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:59,639 Speaker 1: that Freedom Caucus republicans were proposing. So the Freedom Caucus 1350 01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:03,639 Speaker 1: is in favor, particularly of the aspects of the new 1351 01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,840 Speaker 1: plan that would allow states to opt out of the 1352 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:10,679 Speaker 1: regulations they like. The waivers are on the table now. 1353 01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:15,720 Speaker 1: The balancing act for Trump and other members of the 1354 01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:21,680 Speaker 1: GOP is if you introduce these more conservative provisions to 1355 01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:26,000 Speaker 1: the legislation, you don't want to lose so many moderate 1356 01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:30,120 Speaker 1: Republicans that suddenly you're you're back to square one, uh, 1357 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:32,240 Speaker 1: in the sense that you don't have enough vote to 1358 01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:36,960 Speaker 1: pass it. The objection of the moderate Republicans is what 1359 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,200 Speaker 1: is it that they think that this is going to 1360 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,960 Speaker 1: make h Is it more of a process objection to 1361 01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:45,920 Speaker 1: this is supposed to be in phases and what we're 1362 01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,080 Speaker 1: hearing originally, or do they just want to keep some 1363 01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 1: of the some of the Obamacare mandate stuff. You know, 1364 01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,240 Speaker 1: it's it's looking more like the latter. Some of the 1365 01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:59,840 Speaker 1: moderate Republicans are nervous if you repeal some of regulations 1366 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:04,000 Speaker 1: but not all of the regulations, that you're essentially uh 1367 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:07,040 Speaker 1: putting some of the sickest people at risk. So, for instance, 1368 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:11,080 Speaker 1: they worry that if you remove the provision, the Essential 1369 01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:14,800 Speaker 1: Health Benefits provision that requires all insurance plans to cover 1370 01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:20,000 Speaker 1: all kinds of conditions, that insurance companies will respond by 1371 01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:23,840 Speaker 1: making the plans that do cover all conditions prohibitively expensive, 1372 01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:28,240 Speaker 1: effectively pricing people out of the market, and effectively nullifying 1373 01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:32,680 Speaker 1: the provision of Obamacare which is most popular, the pre 1374 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,080 Speaker 1: existing condition protections. They don't want to lose that, and 1375 01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 1: they don't want to do anything to the health care 1376 01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:42,080 Speaker 1: system that could put those protections in jeopardy. And those 1377 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,599 Speaker 1: that's the objections that we're hearing coming from the Tuesday 1378 01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,640 Speaker 1: Group and some of the more moderate Republicans, and the 1379 01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:50,719 Speaker 1: White House is pressuring a GOP for a vote next week. 1380 01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:55,559 Speaker 1: That seems like a very ambitious timeline to me. That's 1381 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:58,679 Speaker 1: a very ambitious timeline because keep in mind that House 1382 01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:01,920 Speaker 1: Republicans will be up again. It's a hard deadline because 1383 01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,519 Speaker 1: the government will shut down on a if Congress can't 1384 01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:09,080 Speaker 1: decide on a funding mechanism that keeps the government running 1385 01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:12,320 Speaker 1: past next week, so this is something that they're going 1386 01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 1: to have to focus on. Healthcare is really a secondary 1387 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:19,200 Speaker 1: issue to most lawmakers. Why the White House is pushing this, though, 1388 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:23,760 Speaker 1: is because on April uh President Trump will celebrate his 1389 01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:27,799 Speaker 1: hundred's day in office. It's a highly symbolic time frame 1390 01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:31,160 Speaker 1: by which most modern presidencies are judged. How much did 1391 01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:34,000 Speaker 1: President Trump get down in his first one days? Trump 1392 01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:36,440 Speaker 1: would love to be able to say that a healthcare 1393 01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:40,320 Speaker 1: bill advanced during his first one days. That's something they're 1394 01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:43,040 Speaker 1: obviously interested in doing, but not at the expense of 1395 01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,320 Speaker 1: a good healthcare plan, and not at the expense of 1396 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,800 Speaker 1: a funding mechanism that keeps the government from shutting down. 1397 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,880 Speaker 1: As for the possibility of a government shutdown or the 1398 01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:56,000 Speaker 1: passage of a continuing resolution to fund the government for 1399 01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,200 Speaker 1: a finite period of time, Once again, is anybody I 1400 01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,080 Speaker 1: I haven't seen much of this um but I've been 1401 01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:06,120 Speaker 1: looking at other issues this week mostly. Is anyone even 1402 01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:08,960 Speaker 1: pretending that they're going to maybe let the government shut 1403 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,680 Speaker 1: down or they skipping that whole grandstand moment? You know, 1404 01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,960 Speaker 1: it's interesting because Republicans are adamant that they do want 1405 01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,760 Speaker 1: to try to get appropriations for the border wall, that 1406 01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:20,960 Speaker 1: they do want to try to get all of this 1407 01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:25,120 Speaker 1: increased funding for a military build up done. UH, Democrats 1408 01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:29,000 Speaker 1: sent an opportunity to put pressure on Republicans to get 1409 01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,759 Speaker 1: things that they want, though, So it's you could easily 1410 01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:35,960 Speaker 1: envision this leading to a shutdown fight. But there is 1411 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:39,080 Speaker 1: also a chance that lawmakers will just pass a clean 1412 01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:44,280 Speaker 1: continuing resolution or a clean UH funding mechanism that keeps 1413 01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:46,960 Speaker 1: the government open without going to battle over things like 1414 01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:50,599 Speaker 1: funding for planned parenthood, because there are other things they 1415 01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:53,000 Speaker 1: want to get done this year, like tax reform and 1416 01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:57,320 Speaker 1: like healthcare. I just can't imagine that the Republican led 1417 01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:01,200 Speaker 1: Congress right now is going to allow the governments, you know, 1418 01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,439 Speaker 1: this time around. Now they've got a Republican in the 1419 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:05,000 Speaker 1: White House, and they're going to shut the government down. 1420 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:06,920 Speaker 1: I just can't imagine they actually do it. I know 1421 01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:10,200 Speaker 1: they talk about it, but you know, they can surprise you, 1422 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,559 Speaker 1: maybe on both sides of the of the aisle. But 1423 01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,240 Speaker 1: I think that it's it's unlikely we'll see UM. But 1424 01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:19,040 Speaker 1: the Trump administration opening up a sweeping trade investigation this 1425 01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:21,400 Speaker 1: is your piece on Washington Examiner dot com. Tell us 1426 01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:25,559 Speaker 1: what's going on. Well, this is very interesting because the 1427 01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:29,920 Speaker 1: Trump administration exercised the provision of a decade's old trade 1428 01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:34,160 Speaker 1: law that allows the Department of Commerce to review whether 1429 01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:38,120 Speaker 1: a particular imports of a particular item has a negative 1430 01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:40,720 Speaker 1: effect on the US economy and on national security. And 1431 01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:44,040 Speaker 1: in this case, Department of Commerce is doing it for steel. 1432 01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,760 Speaker 1: Trump spent a lot of his campaign saying that he 1433 01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:51,080 Speaker 1: was going to revive the steal industry in the US, 1434 01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,360 Speaker 1: that he was going to punish the Chinese for their 1435 01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:56,839 Speaker 1: unfair trade practices. Uh And nowhere is that more evident 1436 01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:01,280 Speaker 1: than in in Chinese steel imports. So it's very interesting 1437 01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:03,760 Speaker 1: that that's what the Trump administration is going to do 1438 01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:05,920 Speaker 1: first in terms of trade, because there were a lot 1439 01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:09,120 Speaker 1: of other issues that Trump raised in relation to trade, 1440 01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:13,719 Speaker 1: including NaSTA, including TPP, but they're going to focus on 1441 01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:17,439 Speaker 1: whether they steal imports charm U S economy and US workers. 1442 01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:21,320 Speaker 1: Do you have any opinion, Sarah, on whether Canadian dairy 1443 01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:25,960 Speaker 1: farmers are being unfair with their importation of ultra or 1444 01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:30,439 Speaker 1: ultrafiltered milk. You know, it's so interesting of such a niche. 1445 01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:35,160 Speaker 1: It's such a niche issue, but Trump went after it exactly. 1446 01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:37,839 Speaker 1: But you hear the President of the United States talking 1447 01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:39,960 Speaker 1: about it. We never would have seen that under any 1448 01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:44,120 Speaker 1: of its predecessors, and it's something that United Republicans and Democrats. 1449 01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,600 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Senate minority leader, came out and 1450 01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:51,080 Speaker 1: said he's on with the president because there are a 1451 01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,719 Speaker 1: lot of farmers in upstate New York, where Chuck Humor 1452 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,639 Speaker 1: is from, who are harmed by Canadian dairy agricultural practices. 1453 01:24:57,680 --> 01:24:59,920 Speaker 1: So it's very interesting that this is a rare issue 1454 01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:04,320 Speaker 1: that has bipartisans. True or false, almond milk should be 1455 01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:08,400 Speaker 1: called uh almond drink or almond juice because it has 1456 01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:11,360 Speaker 1: nothing to do with milk. I'm gonna go with's true. 1457 01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:14,519 Speaker 1: That's pretty there we go. That's that's the right answer, Sarah. 1458 01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,040 Speaker 1: I just want to make make sure we have we 1459 01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,640 Speaker 1: have clarity on that one milk comes from cows or 1460 01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:21,120 Speaker 1: at least from animals. I'll take goat milk that's acceptable 1461 01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:24,439 Speaker 1: to Sarah West what everybody?

Bill 1491 01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:22,080 Speaker 1: O'Riley was a ratings juggernaut, one of the most well 1492 01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:27,000 Speaker 1: known and most successful TV personalities of a generation. And 1493 01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 1: well here's of course Fox giving him a pleasant uh, 1494 01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:36,240 Speaker 1: some pleasant words as a send off. Bill O'Reilly is 1495 01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 1: leaving this chair and this network. After more than twenty years, 1496 01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:43,640 Speaker 1: Bill has been the undisputed king of cable news, and 1497 01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:46,720 Speaker 1: for good reason. He as an incredibly talented broadcaster who 1498 01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:50,280 Speaker 1: raised the bar for interviewers everywhere by rating standards. Bill 1499 01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,640 Speaker 1: O'Reilly is one of the most accomplished TV personalities in 1500 01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:58,040 Speaker 1: the history of cable news. In fact, his success by 1501 01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 1: any measure is indisputable. So Fox, he he didn't have 1502 01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:07,240 Speaker 1: a last show at Fox, but he did have some 1503 01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:12,000 Speaker 1: kind words from the from well, the chair that he 1504 01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:13,519 Speaker 1: had been in for so many years, that was Dana 1505 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,600 Speaker 1: Prino Fox News. Uh. And she's on the five, going 1506 01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,599 Speaker 1: to be on the five at nine pm now every night. Uh. 1507 01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:23,479 Speaker 1: But then you, of course can expect that people on 1508 01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:29,880 Speaker 1: the left will be enjoying O'Reilly's exit a little too 1509 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:35,840 Speaker 1: much and viewing this as an opportunity two say some 1510 01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:39,240 Speaker 1: pretty nasty things about the guy. And look, I've been 1511 01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:43,520 Speaker 1: watching on on all the different non Fox, non Fox networks, 1512 01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:46,560 Speaker 1: and what you see happening are I'm seeing pundits go 1513 01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:48,960 Speaker 1: on TV people that worked at Fox or were paid 1514 01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,519 Speaker 1: by Fox for a while to say that they were 1515 01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:54,719 Speaker 1: never harassed by Bill O'Reilly, but like they maybe totally 1516 01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:57,840 Speaker 1: could have been or something. At some point, I'm like, well, well, 1517 01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:00,320 Speaker 1: I mean, if you weren't harassed, what's you know? Why 1518 01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:05,640 Speaker 1: are you how? How is that relevant? I'm seeing? And now, 1519 01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:07,680 Speaker 1: of course everybody who worked at Fox that is at 1520 01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:10,120 Speaker 1: another network is being asked by one anchor or another, 1521 01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,599 Speaker 1: you know, where you ever harassed? Every female anchor? Of course, 1522 01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:17,520 Speaker 1: were you ever harassed by by Bill O'Reilly? Every female contributor? 1523 01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:19,920 Speaker 1: Contributor is the term that we use in TV when 1524 01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:22,800 Speaker 1: you're on contract to go on TV as an as 1525 01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,640 Speaker 1: an analyst or a pundit or um as opposed to 1526 01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:30,360 Speaker 1: an anchor or a correspondent, correspondent reporter. Basically the same 1527 01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:34,720 Speaker 1: thing UH analysts is a or analyst or pundit. You 1528 01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:39,280 Speaker 1: are under a contributor role unless you are an anchor. 1529 01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:42,040 Speaker 1: Anchors get their own shows, and so that's how we 1530 01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:44,479 Speaker 1: break all this stuff down. Anchors obviously get paid the 1531 01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 1: most money too. So there are some people like Stephen 1532 01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:52,920 Speaker 1: Colbert who are out there and I see, here's here's 1533 01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:56,080 Speaker 1: what bothers me about Colbert and the way this is happening. 1534 01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:58,439 Speaker 1: You know, he's had a rilly on his show, and 1535 01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:01,400 Speaker 1: he's been fun me and pleasant to his face in 1536 01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:06,120 Speaker 1: the past, and now that Riley is out, he's being 1537 01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:09,759 Speaker 1: pretty nasty about the whole thing. And it just strikes 1538 01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:12,920 Speaker 1: me as as cheap. And you get this a lot 1539 01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:16,519 Speaker 1: from the Democrat comedians out there, where they go for 1540 01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:19,600 Speaker 1: the the easy and mean joke whenever it's at the 1541 01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:23,360 Speaker 1: expense of a conservative because it's such a safe move. 1542 01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:26,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't even have to be funny, and their audience 1543 01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:29,040 Speaker 1: is going to like them for it, right, They don't 1544 01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:31,120 Speaker 1: even have to be clever. If you come up with 1545 01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:35,799 Speaker 1: some variation of all the Republicans such a dumb, racist, idiot, sexist. 1546 01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:38,120 Speaker 1: You can just say that and say it like that, 1547 01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:40,320 Speaker 1: and there are Democrat audiences, and you look at the 1548 01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:42,960 Speaker 1: Bill mar Show and his audience and they think it's 1549 01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:46,760 Speaker 1: also funny. Um, it's the same joke over and over. Right, 1550 01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:50,600 Speaker 1: Republicans are dumb, Republicans are racists. Through a Republican, Republicans 1551 01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:55,000 Speaker 1: are misogynists, Republicans are racist. It's just, Uh, this is 1552 01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:57,800 Speaker 1: what's fascinating about is that they're laughing at other people 1553 01:30:57,840 --> 01:30:59,479 Speaker 1: being stupid. But this is the joke that not so 1554 01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:02,160 Speaker 1: smart but laugh at right, this is that's the truth 1555 01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:07,639 Speaker 1: of it. But Colbert was not magnanimous in the least 1556 01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:10,479 Speaker 1: last night, and it was not even funny either. I 1557 01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:12,840 Speaker 1: watched I watched the clip of his o'relly send off. 1558 01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:17,760 Speaker 1: Here's what he said. Now, Bill and I did not 1559 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:22,880 Speaker 1: see eye to eye on anything. I've done my share 1560 01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:26,000 Speaker 1: of jokes about him. I also stole his microwave once. 1561 01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:28,519 Speaker 1: The true story, you can look it up. But he's 1562 01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:30,560 Speaker 1: been a guest on this show and I take no 1563 01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:33,280 Speaker 1: pleasure in his downfall. Okay, I'm not gonna sit here 1564 01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:39,800 Speaker 1: and publicly gloat. Jimmy, can you take the camera off 1565 01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:45,080 Speaker 1: me for just a second. So yeah, ha ha ha ha. 1566 01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,040 Speaker 1: He's not going to gloat. And so they they the 1567 01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:50,000 Speaker 1: camera pans off of a shot with him in it. 1568 01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:52,519 Speaker 1: And I didn't see what he did, but I'm assuming 1569 01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:55,479 Speaker 1: he was, you know, dancing, laughing, jumping up and down. 1570 01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,840 Speaker 1: It's just childish, right, This is he can't do any 1571 01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:01,679 Speaker 1: better than this. This is what he does when somebody 1572 01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:08,120 Speaker 1: else in the business leaves after after decades under this look, 1573 01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:10,320 Speaker 1: there was one settlement that was large and that that 1574 01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:15,120 Speaker 1: seemed to be an admission of wrongdoing. He hasn't. Nothing 1575 01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:18,519 Speaker 1: else has been proven here. Although it's not your employer, 1576 01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:20,720 Speaker 1: you don't have to. The allegations are enough to fire 1577 01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:25,679 Speaker 1: you that that is true. Um, there's a clause usually 1578 01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:28,799 Speaker 1: immediate contracts about you know, it coming into ill repute 1579 01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:31,360 Speaker 1: in the eyes of the community or something like community standards. 1580 01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, it depends on your contract. But so 1581 01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:36,559 Speaker 1: that that can just be that people think that you're 1582 01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:38,920 Speaker 1: a sexual harasser and that that hurts the brand. Okay, 1583 01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:41,240 Speaker 1: But then when we can go on even further with 1584 01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:49,920 Speaker 1: Colbert's nasty little tirade here play it yeah, so he's 1585 01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:52,480 Speaker 1: doing a dance or whatever. Oh ha ha. They celebrated 1586 01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:57,040 Speaker 1: o'riley's career, saying, by ratings standards, Bill O'Reilly is one 1587 01:32:57,080 --> 01:33:00,200 Speaker 1: of the most accomplished TV personalities in the history of 1588 01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:04,839 Speaker 1: cable news. Yes, no, no, no, by ratings, by rating standards, 1589 01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,719 Speaker 1: he is. By moral standards, he was a self righteous 1590 01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:13,240 Speaker 1: land full of angry garbage. That's that's pretty that's pretty harsh. 1591 01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:16,320 Speaker 1: That's pretty low, isn't it? Even for Stephen Colbert here, 1592 01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:20,800 Speaker 1: here he is with the tremendous platform of and mark 1593 01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:22,400 Speaker 1: my words, we're gonna see this. You'll see this over 1594 01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:25,840 Speaker 1: at Fox too, these big TV platforms. The people that 1595 01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:29,800 Speaker 1: get these jobs think they're a lot more special and 1596 01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:32,599 Speaker 1: talented than they often are. They're just lucky. Stephen Colbert 1597 01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:38,720 Speaker 1: is lucky. Um, But he's being mean here in a 1598 01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:44,160 Speaker 1: way that it's just completely unnecessary, right, you know, O'Reilly 1599 01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:46,479 Speaker 1: is he's getting a check for it, how much it is. 1600 01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,439 Speaker 1: Guy's already very rich and he's gonna be even richer 1601 01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,240 Speaker 1: after all this. But I would just think there's maybe 1602 01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:57,439 Speaker 1: some modicum of professional respect that someone in Colbert's position, 1603 01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:00,639 Speaker 1: and given the enormous platform that he has of one 1604 01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:04,920 Speaker 1: of the tonight the Tonight Show, Um, that he might 1605 01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:09,200 Speaker 1: be just just a little more gracious about this than 1606 01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:10,640 Speaker 1: he is. I mean that, well, that last thing he 1607 01:34:10,680 --> 01:34:12,519 Speaker 1: said that wasn't even it's not even a joke. He's 1608 01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:15,400 Speaker 1: just calling him a jerk. He's just calling him a jerk. 1609 01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:17,479 Speaker 1: And look, maybe I don't know I had said this 1610 01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:19,360 Speaker 1: yesterday to all of you. I don't know Riley at all, 1611 01:34:19,439 --> 01:34:24,880 Speaker 1: had no interaction with him whatsoever. Um. But and I 1612 01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:27,320 Speaker 1: just think that this is poor form. And then it 1613 01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:32,640 Speaker 1: gets even worse. You have Mike Barnacle um over at 1614 01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:38,400 Speaker 1: Morning Joe saying this, which is just to me completely inexcusable. UM. 1615 01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:42,000 Speaker 1: Let me ask the both of you, as young woman 1616 01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:45,560 Speaker 1: in this business, young woman in any business, enduring what 1617 01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:49,480 Speaker 1: so many women endured at Fox. I mean, basically confronted 1618 01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:53,680 Speaker 1: with like a Bill Cosby a cable on cable, a 1619 01:34:53,880 --> 01:35:00,759 Speaker 1: Bill Cosby on cable. Bill Cosby is accused by dozens 1620 01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:05,360 Speaker 1: of women of drugging and raping them. Here is someone 1621 01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:08,599 Speaker 1: Mike Barnicle, who is paid for his opinion on TV 1622 01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:12,439 Speaker 1: and is supposed to be ethical and measured and correct 1623 01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:15,000 Speaker 1: in what he says to the best of his ability, 1624 01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:20,680 Speaker 1: and he's calling billow Riley. Look, let's say, let's say 1625 01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:24,479 Speaker 1: that the allegations that we know about so far are 1626 01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:28,479 Speaker 1: one true, which is not proven. But I can understand 1627 01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:30,160 Speaker 1: why a lot of people would say there's a lot 1628 01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:33,640 Speaker 1: of smoke here, Buck, there's there's fired too, um. But 1629 01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:38,920 Speaker 1: let's just say that it's it's proven. Um. Making an 1630 01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:41,800 Speaker 1: off color comment to a woman in the workplace, or 1631 01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:45,400 Speaker 1: even telling a woman that you will advance her career 1632 01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:50,559 Speaker 1: if she is uh, if she engages in a physical 1633 01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:55,439 Speaker 1: relationship with you, while illegal and gross and terrible conduct, 1634 01:35:56,320 --> 01:36:00,360 Speaker 1: is not drugging someone and raping them. I mean, that 1635 01:36:00,680 --> 01:36:05,960 Speaker 1: is first degree felony, life in prison kind of stuff, 1636 01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:08,840 Speaker 1: And that there would be such a sloppiness that that 1637 01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:11,880 Speaker 1: kind of comparison would come out. Who just goes to 1638 01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:15,680 Speaker 1: show you that they hate they hate billow Riley. They 1639 01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:18,160 Speaker 1: don't disagree with Bill O'Riley, Mike Barnacle and some of 1640 01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:20,800 Speaker 1: these others. They don't disagree with them, They just straight 1641 01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:24,400 Speaker 1: up hate him, and they want to see him not 1642 01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:29,639 Speaker 1: just repudiated as a result of losing his job because 1643 01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:32,800 Speaker 1: of these sexual harassment allegations, but they want to see 1644 01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:39,760 Speaker 1: him completely defamed and his character annihilated and make him 1645 01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:43,000 Speaker 1: and really and untouchable in society. That's the plan if 1646 01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:45,120 Speaker 1: they can, if they can get away with it. And 1647 01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:49,080 Speaker 1: I am troubled, my friends, at how effective the left is. 1648 01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:51,960 Speaker 1: They're seeing that, you know, they can't win elections, but 1649 01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:56,040 Speaker 1: they can get the media on their side to take 1650 01:36:56,120 --> 01:37:00,640 Speaker 1: out some very big targets on the right. And uh, 1651 01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that what o'relly did was okay, but 1652 01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:06,400 Speaker 1: I'm just saying they managed to make this whole thing happen, 1653 01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:09,960 Speaker 1: and we should have a moment of pause because of that. 1654 01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:12,559 Speaker 1: At least that's how I feel about it. Eight four 1655 01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:17,599 Speaker 1: four nine eight five eight four nine hundred Buck also 1656 01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:21,719 Speaker 1: subscribe to the podcast on iTunes.

That's eight four four nine hundred two 1661 01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:46,800 Speaker 1: eight to five. Allright, welcome back, Team. I often talk 1662 01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:50,840 Speaker 1: to you about how the media gets it wrong in 1663 01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:54,280 Speaker 1: one direction so often that if it's not fake news, 1664 01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:59,200 Speaker 1: it's false news. If we can't say definitively that they 1665 01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:02,840 Speaker 1: intend it to be wrong, that they told a knowing 1666 01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:07,599 Speaker 1: lie in one of their stories, in one of their posts. Uh. 1667 01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:10,920 Speaker 1: Then at least it is the mindset that they carry 1668 01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:14,880 Speaker 1: around all the time that anything that Trump does must 1669 01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:18,320 Speaker 1: be plausible, or anything that happens to this administration that's 1670 01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:22,680 Speaker 1: bad is deserved, is real, and they never give the 1671 01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:26,400 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt that's impossible for them. Well, you 1672 01:38:26,439 --> 01:38:31,679 Speaker 1: have a fantastic example of this with the Patriots. I'm 1673 01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:34,360 Speaker 1: not a Patriots fan. I'm just gonna put that out there. 1674 01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:37,960 Speaker 1: I went to school up in Massachusetts, and I was 1675 01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:41,160 Speaker 1: always amazed that the University of Massachusetts, which was just 1676 01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:45,240 Speaker 1: down the street, was a place where when the Patriots won, 1677 01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:47,560 Speaker 1: there was always the possibility of a riot. When the 1678 01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:50,960 Speaker 1: Patriots lost, there was always the possibility of a riot. 1679 01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:54,560 Speaker 1: Seemed to me that Patriots fans, at least in the 1680 01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:58,400 Speaker 1: U mass Amherst area, sometimes needed to just calm down 1681 01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:01,840 Speaker 1: a little tiny bit. But and of course I grew 1682 01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:03,800 Speaker 1: up in New York City, so I'm either Giants or 1683 01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:06,960 Speaker 1: a Jets fan, and clearly a Giants fan, because the 1684 01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,000 Speaker 1: Giants are the only ones who stand athwart the evil 1685 01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:12,519 Speaker 1: Patriots when it really counts at Super Bowl time. But 1686 01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:16,120 Speaker 1: that's that's story for another time. So the Patriots, because 1687 01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:20,840 Speaker 1: they won again, they head down to the White House, 1688 01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:25,320 Speaker 1: and the New York Times sports writer thought, and this 1689 01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:27,960 Speaker 1: is not something that just came up out of nowhere, 1690 01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:34,000 Speaker 1: thought it might be fun to compare the turnout for 1691 01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:40,519 Speaker 1: President Obama in ten with the Patriots turnout for President 1692 01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:46,240 Speaker 1: Obama versus the Patriots turnout for President Trump today. And 1693 01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:52,160 Speaker 1: of course the Obama photo you have a solid group 1694 01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:56,000 Speaker 1: in the middle of say thirty or forty individuals, but 1695 01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:59,640 Speaker 1: then you have Patriots players all the way up on 1696 01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:02,720 Speaker 1: this steps on the side. So there's the main group 1697 01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:06,240 Speaker 1: flanked by two lines of Patriots old uh not part 1698 01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:09,960 Speaker 1: of me? Patriot players on the sides. And then in 1699 01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:15,160 Speaker 1: the photo with the Trump visit, which just happened? What 1700 01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:19,400 Speaker 1: was which? What's just happened today or was it yesterday? Regardless, um, 1701 01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:25,879 Speaker 1: they they showed no such flanking of Patriot football players 1702 01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:28,360 Speaker 1: on the sides in the idea that and this got 1703 01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:34,320 Speaker 1: retweeted thirty thousand times, so a lot of people saw this, 1704 01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:38,280 Speaker 1: and of course the this is a sportswriter who's making 1705 01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:42,160 Speaker 1: a political statement. We're really getting outside of his lane here, 1706 01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:44,600 Speaker 1: because the purpose of this is to show that the 1707 01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:51,360 Speaker 1: Patriots support the Patriots like Barack Obama more than Donald Trump. 1708 01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:55,280 Speaker 1: Whether even that's true or not. It seems unfair to 1709 01:40:55,479 --> 01:40:59,519 Speaker 1: base that entire assumption on a photo, but that's what 1710 01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:03,880 Speaker 1: this New York Times writer did. The New England Patriots themselves. 1711 01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:07,599 Speaker 1: I met Bob Kraft's a few months ago at Fox. 1712 01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:10,120 Speaker 1: He's a very nice guy. He let me let me 1713 01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:14,679 Speaker 1: hold the Lombardi Trophy, which felt like a heavy, heavy 1714 01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:16,880 Speaker 1: metal thing that looked like a football. But you know, 1715 01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,720 Speaker 1: people get excited it's the Lombardi Trophy. So he's like, 1716 01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:22,360 Speaker 1: let me hold it for a second, and yeah, me, 1717 01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:28,840 Speaker 1: I guess anyway. Uh. The Patriots team official account responded 1718 01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:34,040 Speaker 1: to this New York Times post, these photos lack contexts. 1719 01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:39,320 Speaker 1: Facts in over forty football staff were on the stairs 1720 01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:43,680 Speaker 1: in they were seated on the south lawn, so they 1721 01:41:43,720 --> 01:41:47,040 Speaker 1: just weren't in this photo because of where they were sitting. 1722 01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:51,120 Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with a lack of attendance 1723 01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:56,040 Speaker 1: at this at this event. And I'm somebody who of 1724 01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:58,320 Speaker 1: course takes the position that you look, you don't have 1725 01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:00,360 Speaker 1: to go to the White House. This doesn't come wholstery. 1726 01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:02,600 Speaker 1: It's still America, all right. But if I were a 1727 01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:06,320 Speaker 1: professional athlete, regardless of the politics of the administration, and 1728 01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:09,960 Speaker 1: now we're invited to the White House, I would go 1729 01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:14,040 Speaker 1: um out of respect. But I'm very far from being 1730 01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:15,880 Speaker 1: a professional athlete, so this is not something we have 1731 01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:20,000 Speaker 1: to worry about anytime soon. The New York Times sports 1732 01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:25,040 Speaker 1: writer here in question. Uh Colin camp Oh, I'm sorry. 1733 01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:28,600 Speaker 1: That's that's a politics editor. A Yahoo pardoned me. The 1734 01:42:29,200 --> 01:42:33,000 Speaker 1: sportswriter here. I'm trying to get his name, but I'm 1735 01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:36,200 Speaker 1: actually coming up blank on it right now. I'll find 1736 01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:40,519 Speaker 1: it for you later. Pardon me. But he wrote back, um, 1737 01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:45,880 Speaker 1: bad tweet by me, terrible tweet. I wish I could 1738 01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:49,960 Speaker 1: say it's complicated, but no, this one is pretty straightforward. 1739 01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:53,600 Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. It was my idea, it was my execution. 1740 01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:56,160 Speaker 1: It was my blunder. I made a decision at about 1741 01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:59,200 Speaker 1: four minutes that clearly warranted much more time. Once we 1742 01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:01,599 Speaker 1: learned more, we tried to fix everything as much as 1743 01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:06,320 Speaker 1: possible and as transparently as possible. Of course, at that 1744 01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:08,400 Speaker 1: point the damage was done. I just needed to own it. 1745 01:43:08,520 --> 01:43:11,479 Speaker 1: That was retweeted by Colin Campbell, or tweeted out by 1746 01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:14,800 Speaker 1: Colin Campbell, who's a politics editor Yahoo News, not the 1747 01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:17,640 Speaker 1: guy who put out the initial tweet, but he was 1748 01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:19,559 Speaker 1: the one who shared it and said that the uh, 1749 01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:22,280 Speaker 1: the New York Times writer was very sorry. I I 1750 01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:26,320 Speaker 1: I can appreciate, very sorry. I I think, especially now, 1751 01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:28,880 Speaker 1: it's you know, if you don't do this for a living, 1752 01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,560 Speaker 1: I can tell you the pressure to be just a 1753 01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:34,719 Speaker 1: little social media machine all the time, tweeting and facebooking, 1754 01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:38,400 Speaker 1: and tweeting and facebooking all day long, and uh, it's 1755 01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:42,240 Speaker 1: it's immense. And I think while it's very useful and 1756 01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:44,360 Speaker 1: I really appreciate those who tweeted me or write me 1757 01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:48,000 Speaker 1: Facebook messages, and that's very important part of my job, 1758 01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:53,800 Speaker 1: it also can become a little bit too much. It 1759 01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:58,080 Speaker 1: also can overtake far too much of your private time, 1760 01:43:58,120 --> 01:44:02,080 Speaker 1: your free time, and and uh, they are all some 1761 01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:04,559 Speaker 1: mistakes that can be made here and when you're doing 1762 01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:06,559 Speaker 1: you know, we call these hot takes on Twitter, right 1763 01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:08,840 Speaker 1: or I think I guess it's the same on Facebook. 1764 01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:12,439 Speaker 1: But when you're constantly trying to be witty and clever 1765 01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:18,719 Speaker 1: and quick about it or insightful and illuminating and quick 1766 01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:22,280 Speaker 1: in your responses. You're going to make mistakes. So there's 1767 01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:25,280 Speaker 1: the part of me that wants to say, look, uh, 1768 01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:29,040 Speaker 1: this can happen. It's not a it's not a huge deal, 1769 01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:33,640 Speaker 1: and we really shouldn't make an enormous thing out of 1770 01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:37,120 Speaker 1: this because it's just a sportswriter who was trying to 1771 01:44:37,200 --> 01:44:40,280 Speaker 1: score some cheap political points and got ahead of his gut, 1772 01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:43,599 Speaker 1: ahead of his skis to borrow a sports analogy. Um, 1773 01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:46,400 Speaker 1: But then there are a few other things that I 1774 01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:50,000 Speaker 1: also have to keep in mind. It always happens in 1775 01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:53,200 Speaker 1: the same direction, doesn't it. Can you think of any 1776 01:44:54,240 --> 01:44:58,200 Speaker 1: pro Trump story that a major news outlet has run 1777 01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:02,559 Speaker 1: with that they a major left of center and news 1778 01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:05,600 Speaker 1: outlets of roman that they have ended up retracting. I 1779 01:45:05,640 --> 01:45:08,920 Speaker 1: can think of a bunch of negative stories on Trump, 1780 01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:12,120 Speaker 1: which is also a function of numbers, I think, because 1781 01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:15,040 Speaker 1: there was a what was it a study that came 1782 01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:20,679 Speaker 1: out yesterday. So the ent of media coverage of Donald 1783 01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:24,559 Speaker 1: Trump is so far during his administration, while he's been president, 1784 01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:28,519 Speaker 1: forget about the primary and the general election, media coverage 1785 01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:31,799 Speaker 1: has been negative. That was just on the Drudge Report yesterday. 1786 01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:38,840 Speaker 1: So among that very disparate level of negative coverage. Sure, 1787 01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:42,120 Speaker 1: you're you're more likely to see retractions that are negative 1788 01:45:42,160 --> 01:45:44,400 Speaker 1: because you're much more likely to see negative stories. That 1789 01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:47,880 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to really justify or make anyone feel any 1790 01:45:47,920 --> 01:45:50,840 Speaker 1: better about this released It shouldn't. But I do also 1791 01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:54,080 Speaker 1: think that there's a mentality at work. Forget about the 1792 01:45:55,160 --> 01:45:58,800 Speaker 1: uh the negative tone of many of the stories that 1793 01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:01,720 Speaker 1: are written about Trump and the administration. The fact the 1794 01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:06,759 Speaker 1: matter is that there is a naivete there's a rush 1795 01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:14,439 Speaker 1: to judgment, a passing and often uh flimsy consideration for 1796 01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:17,280 Speaker 1: the facts as long as it is damaging and in 1797 01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:21,719 Speaker 1: this not just twenty four hour news cycle, but second 1798 01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:24,920 Speaker 1: by second news cycle that we're all living in now. 1799 01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:27,599 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're whether you think you're a news 1800 01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:30,280 Speaker 1: consumer or not, you know you can't look at your 1801 01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:33,160 Speaker 1: phone or be on a computer without someone trying to 1802 01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:35,200 Speaker 1: give you some information about the news. I mean, it's 1803 01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:40,160 Speaker 1: just all over the place. And that means that when 1804 01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:44,800 Speaker 1: you are exposed to a lie or to false information, 1805 01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:48,000 Speaker 1: it may take a while and you may never really 1806 01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:54,040 Speaker 1: see the full retraction. So that's part of why those 1807 01:46:54,080 --> 01:46:57,040 Speaker 1: who support Trump, I think, find themselves saying how upset, 1808 01:46:57,120 --> 01:47:00,519 Speaker 1: am I supposed to be about what Trump's as the 1809 01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:03,200 Speaker 1: media is always claiming he's lying, he's lying. When the 1810 01:47:03,240 --> 01:47:05,320 Speaker 1: media is lying about Trump all the time, and they 1811 01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:08,880 Speaker 1: really are, it's it's a recklessness. And if it's not 1812 01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:14,040 Speaker 1: fake news, it is a lack of responsible certainly a 1813 01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:17,680 Speaker 1: lack of responsible reporting that comes from animus. They just 1814 01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:21,320 Speaker 1: don't like this guy. They just don't like Donald Trump. 1815 01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:25,160 Speaker 1: And this Patriots photo examples just the late It's like 1816 01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:28,200 Speaker 1: the Winston Church chill bust, right, which, oh that was 1817 01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:31,519 Speaker 1: they removed that from the I'm sorry, the Martin Luther 1818 01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:33,920 Speaker 1: King buss. Pardon me, the Martin Luther King bust. Oh, 1819 01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:37,720 Speaker 1: they removed that from the Oval office. No, they did not. Um, 1820 01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:41,160 Speaker 1: the Martin Luther King buss was not removed. A reporter 1821 01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:43,280 Speaker 1: just tweeted out, well, I didn't see it, so I 1822 01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:48,479 Speaker 1: thought it was removed. That's interesting. Um. So you look 1823 01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:51,920 Speaker 1: back at these stories and you think to yourself, hold 1824 01:47:51,960 --> 01:47:54,080 Speaker 1: on a second, why is it they keep getting it 1825 01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:58,160 Speaker 1: wrong in the same way. And I think it's quite 1826 01:47:58,200 --> 01:48:00,160 Speaker 1: obvious to us, so we'll call it out. We pay 1827 01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:04,960 Speaker 1: attention to it. It's not enormously important. Each one of 1828 01:48:05,040 --> 01:48:07,880 Speaker 1: these stories on their own or not not enormously important. 1829 01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:10,240 Speaker 1: But when you add them all together, you see a 1830 01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:15,679 Speaker 1: clear narrative and a picture emerges of what's really happening 1831 01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:20,240 Speaker 1: with the media that I have to say is disconcerting. 1832 01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:25,240 Speaker 1: Disconcerting to say the least all right. Team hitting a 1833 01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:28,200 Speaker 1: break here of I will be back with you in 1834 01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:31,560 Speaker 1: just a few minutes eight four four, nine, two to 1835 01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:36,599 Speaker 1: eight to five, buck, We'll be right back. And boy 1836 01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:40,519 Speaker 1: do those staircases look empty in that bottom photo, which 1837 01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:42,960 Speaker 1: means either football teams have gotten a lot smaller in 1838 01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:44,720 Speaker 1: the last two years or a bunch of players just 1839 01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:46,880 Speaker 1: didn't show up today. This was posted on the New 1840 01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:50,519 Speaker 1: York Times website today. It's it's a picture comparing the 1841 01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:54,760 Speaker 1: patriots turnout for President Obama in two thousand fifteen. You 1842 01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:57,439 Speaker 1: can see that, and then you see the turnout of 1843 01:48:57,479 --> 01:48:59,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots they were actually with the President Trump today. 1844 01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:03,680 Speaker 1: Do you eat anything into those two pictures? Theyven, No, no, 1845 01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:05,519 Speaker 1: not not at all. Are And I think it's silly. 1846 01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:09,240 Speaker 1: It's a silly comparison to make. It's just because it's silly. 1847 01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:11,400 Speaker 1: What what is it also matter? Who are the members 1848 01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:14,680 Speaker 1: of the Patriots like or don't it. Look a look 1849 01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:18,439 Speaker 1: at these these serious journalistic outfits here, these serious news 1850 01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:22,200 Speaker 1: organizations running with the photo comparison story that was totally bogus. 1851 01:49:23,840 --> 01:49:26,360 Speaker 1: We love the patriots here, but we love winners. Patriots 1852 01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:30,920 Speaker 1: are winners. Uh, then they have not yet gotten tired 1853 01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:34,080 Speaker 1: of winning either, from what we can tell.

What do you like 1882 01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:03,920 Speaker 1: about what Trump has done so far? Other than let's 1883 01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:05,840 Speaker 1: take as a given that he's not And by the way, 1884 01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:07,160 Speaker 1: I could I could sit here and tell you what 1885 01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:08,400 Speaker 1: I like about him, but I want to hear what 1886 01:51:08,479 --> 01:51:11,240 Speaker 1: you like. Um, he's not Hillary, He's not Hillary. He's 1887 01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:13,200 Speaker 1: not a Democrat. It's not the Democrats in control. That 1888 01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:15,840 Speaker 1: is all fantastic. And you know, there's a part of 1889 01:51:15,880 --> 01:51:17,280 Speaker 1: me that every day wakes up and he's like, well, 1890 01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:18,840 Speaker 1: at least that's not the case. But what do you 1891 01:51:18,920 --> 01:51:21,800 Speaker 1: specifically like about what he's done since taking office? Us 1892 01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:25,680 Speaker 1: to be trying to you know, close the immigration and 1893 01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:29,040 Speaker 1: trying to you know, get rid of the troublemaker is 1894 01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:31,040 Speaker 1: the best he knows how He's got to learn, you know, 1895 01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:34,640 Speaker 1: what to do and stuff. But he seems to be 1896 01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:37,400 Speaker 1: trying the best he can, it seems. And what's the 1897 01:51:37,439 --> 01:51:40,360 Speaker 1: single most important issue to you when it comes to 1898 01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:42,640 Speaker 1: Trump and when he's trying what he's trying to accomplish. 1899 01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:45,800 Speaker 1: I would say they immigration. The immigration he's trying to 1900 01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:50,719 Speaker 1: you know, um build a wall and you know, close 1901 01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:54,839 Speaker 1: the vorders and everything else. Why do you think immigration 1902 01:51:54,920 --> 01:51:58,960 Speaker 1: is so important? Well, we don't need troublemakers over here. 1903 01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:00,479 Speaker 1: I mean, do you think it's a it's a criminal 1904 01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:03,519 Speaker 1: it's a criminality issue. But I'm asking these is. I'm 1905 01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:05,720 Speaker 1: not trying to cross examine. I'm just no, no, no, no, no, no, 1906 01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:09,000 Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a criminality issue with troublemakers, with 1907 01:52:09,080 --> 01:52:12,360 Speaker 1: the drugs and the killers and all the band cartels 1908 01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:15,080 Speaker 1: and all all the drugs coming in and no I understand, 1909 01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:17,519 Speaker 1: all right, can I I appreciate you what part of 1910 01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:20,120 Speaker 1: New York you calling it from. I'm calling from Utica, 1911 01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:21,960 Speaker 1: and I want to say I want to say one 1912 01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:25,840 Speaker 1: thing before um I leave. Okay, okay, okay.

We were found on Christian Christian principles. Now, 1915 01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:38,240 Speaker 1: God so loved everybody that's listening to Buck Sexton. You 1916 01:52:38,320 --> 01:52:41,760 Speaker 1: know it's God made everything in this world and in 1917 01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:45,479 Speaker 1: everything on radio and everything else.

And I think, you know, 1923 01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:07,760 Speaker 1: we need God's help to, you know, get this nation 1924 01:53:07,880 --> 01:53:10,680 Speaker 1: on track. And you know people in the Trump administration 1925 01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:13,760 Speaker 1: should have prayer meetings and they should get right with 1926 01:53:13,880 --> 01:53:16,200 Speaker 1: God and everything else, because you know God's going to 1927 01:53:16,320 --> 01:53:18,840 Speaker 1: help us. I agree, and Ken, amen, and thank you 1928 01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:20,920 Speaker 1: very much for calling her from Utica. I appreciate we're 1929 01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:22,960 Speaker 1: almost at almost a time. I thank you very much 1930 01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:25,559 Speaker 1: for giving us a ring. I appreciate it. By the way, 1931 01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:28,320 Speaker 1: as a as a follow up to it what we're 1932 01:53:28,360 --> 01:53:32,439 Speaker 1: talking about earlier, I said, Elizabeth Warren is likely to 1933 01:53:32,720 --> 01:53:35,400 Speaker 1: be the Democrats and ERD bearer in the next election, 1934 01:53:35,439 --> 01:53:42,160 Speaker 1: although you know, well she says no. But let me 1935 01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:45,400 Speaker 1: be clear, I am not running for president in What 1936 01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:47,679 Speaker 1: I am doing is I am running for the United 1937 01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:53,000 Speaker 1: States Senate in from Massachusetts. What I am doing. Uh, 1938 01:53:53,439 --> 01:53:56,439 Speaker 1: she's this is the classic I'm not running for president, 1939 01:53:56,479 --> 01:53:58,679 Speaker 1: but ever knows they're running for president maneuver. Of course, 1940 01:53:59,720 --> 01:54:01,559 Speaker 1: I thought that was that we had that we had 1941 01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:03,479 Speaker 1: that art. I didn't even realize that that was something 1942 01:54:03,560 --> 01:54:07,920 Speaker 1: that came up over the course of today. Um, this 1943 01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:10,040 Speaker 1: is what you know that the Democrats are trying to 1944 01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:13,960 Speaker 1: get their house back in order now after and and 1945 01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:16,719 Speaker 1: I think, and I asked this question to Michelle Malkin 1946 01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:20,439 Speaker 1: earlier on the program, that the Clintons are mostly now 1947 01:54:20,640 --> 01:54:24,240 Speaker 1: as as a political brand, the Clintons are a bridging 1948 01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:30,920 Speaker 1: mechanism for what was the center of the Democrat establishment 1949 01:54:31,040 --> 01:54:33,440 Speaker 1: to what will be right. So that's why you have 1950 01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:36,080 Speaker 1: still Hillary out there as speaking. But she's gonna need 1951 01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:39,600 Speaker 1: to pass on well, the crown, I guess would have 1952 01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:41,200 Speaker 1: been if she had won. But she's going to pass 1953 01:54:41,280 --> 01:54:44,880 Speaker 1: the baton to some other Democrats standard bearer, and that's 1954 01:54:45,240 --> 01:54:47,680 Speaker 1: we're not sure who it will be just yet.
