1 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The liberal left is 2 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: still chanting about the need to abolish ice. It's a 3 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: stupid idea, but they seem to be running with it. 4 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: Why obviously unwise, but they must have a plan in 5 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: mine or do they will get into that. And also 6 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: a victory for the far left in our neighbor to 7 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: the south, Mexico. What this could mean for cartels, for 8 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: human smuggling, and for the US economic relationship with Mexico. 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: And also looking at everything else going on with the 10 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: North Korea deal to date. We'll talk about that and 11 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: much more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. This 12 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission 13 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 14 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: no mistakes America. Ready, you're a great American Again. The 15 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:14,559 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show begins. No, Welcome to the Buck Sex 16 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: and Show. Everybody. Great to have you here, Thank you 17 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: so much for joining. So we have a lot of 18 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: folks running around right now who are who are talking 19 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: about the need to abolish immigrations and customs enforcement. We 20 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: discussed this last week and here's what I see happening. Um, 21 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: Because it seems on its face to be so dumb. 22 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: It seems like such a a political loser that there 23 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: must be some way that they're planning to make sense 24 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: of this. Right and and you know, you also have, 25 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: at the same time as all this abolished ICE stuff 26 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: is happening, a resurgence in the idea that millennials, young 27 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: people are are comfortable with socialism. And you have the 28 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: victory of this far left social justice warrior Ocasio Cortes 29 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: in New York City, and that has led to think 30 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: pieces like this one at Slate, which is kind of 31 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: a hip left wing website of news and you know, 32 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: analysis or whatever. Why young Democrats are so open to socialism? 33 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: M hm. So you have young democrats so open to socialism, 34 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: you have the abolition of ice as a rallying cry 35 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: on the left. It certainly feels quite a bit like 36 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: there is a a radical leftism that is emerging right now, 37 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: or that perhaps we're just seeing more clearly something's going on. Uh, 38 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: something is is changing. I mean, why democrats are so 39 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: open to socialism? And this is fascinating because I think 40 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: that young people are only open to socialism well for 41 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. One, Uh, the media keeps telling 42 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: them that it's cool. So that's very important because or 43 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: whatever they're told is cool, they're gonna believe must be 44 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: a good thing. Two, they don't know the history of socialism, 45 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: right they don't know what this has led to in 46 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: the past. And three and in some ways it's most important. 47 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: They have no ability to look forward into their own 48 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: future and conceive of what it would mean to live 49 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: in a truly socialist country or a country that is 50 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: trending much more radically towards socialism than where we are 51 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: right now in this country. And so that there's a 52 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: a left wing radicalism that is resurgent right now. There's 53 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: something happening, and I'm gonna time that's also into Mexico 54 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: and just a few moments because there he had a 55 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: far left guy, a far left guy one there presidential election, 56 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: and no one in the in the mainstream media is 57 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: gonna want to touch this. But I I obviously will. 58 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a big, a 59 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: big problem for us. I think this is going to 60 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 1: be an issue because of what his plans are going 61 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: forward for dealing with particularly dealing with cartels. But for 62 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: let me stay on this socialism is cool meme and 63 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: you've seen this in the past. Read Bernie Sanders was 64 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: the first effort to really run at a national level 65 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: a pro socialism presidential campaign. And they'll call it democratic 66 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: social and whatever. That's what do they really mean and 67 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: what are they really saying. They're talking about a much 68 00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: more radical redistribution of wealth done by the state, and 69 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: with the idea that it's about equality, even at the 70 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: expense of freedom and prosperity. Right, equality is a more 71 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: important goal then prosperity and individual freedom. This is the 72 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: this is the essential fundamental conflict we have with socialism. 73 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: And in this you know, hipster millennial socialism we're seeing now. 74 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: But also it's a fundamental conflict of the twenty and 75 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: now in the twenty century in developed countries right now, 76 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: in countries that are mechanized, countries that have seen the 77 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: industrial revolution, countries that are that that have created the 78 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: material the circumstances of material prosperity such that we don't 79 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: worry about having to feed ourselves really right were we 80 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: we don't have the same concerns as as we used to. 81 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: Now there there are people that are just focusing well, 82 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: let's just spread the instead of increasing the wealth let's 83 00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: spread the wealth. And Obama was very favorable to this 84 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: notion as well. Right, Obama was somebody who would go 85 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: out there and say, you know, we need to you know, 86 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: prayer Fair, Sure, yeah, I needed to spread the wealth 87 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: around payer Fair, Sure and all of us. But they, 88 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: the the young Democrats, as we see here in this 89 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: slate piece, are are are quote so open to socialism 90 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: because they don't know what socialism has meant in the past. 91 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: They don't understand what socialism really would mean in practice, 92 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: and they even don't understand what socialism would mean for them. 93 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: You know, it does not mean everybody gets an iPhone 94 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: and all the avocado toasts they can eat, you know, 95 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: Socialism and the contact in the case of Venezuela, I 96 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: think is a very that's a very important story that 97 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: doesn't get told enough in this country because to take 98 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: a relatively well off and sophisticated country like Venezuela with 99 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: the law are just proven oil reserves in the world 100 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: larger than Saudi Arabia's, and to turn it into the 101 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: the eighth Circle of Hell with massive violent crime problems, 102 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: shortages of of bread and milk in the stores, and 103 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: just in every at every possible stage, though, there was 104 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: a justification for the government's position and the Venezuelan government 105 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: under Maduro that the the Venezuelan governments basic rallying cry 106 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: for everything it was doing was, well, it's the it's 107 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: someone else's fault and we're just trying to help people. 108 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: You know, it's someone else's fault, and we are doing 109 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: the best we can for the poor people, you know. Uh. 110 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: And that and that that gives them a lot of 111 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: you know that there's a lot of places they can 112 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: take that they can run with that. And when you 113 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: look at someone like Ocazio Court Orcasio Cortez here in 114 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: New York City, you here or not. I'm in d C. 115 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm in the swamp, but up in New York City. 116 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: Sometimes they get confused about where I am. You're seeing 117 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: something similar. I saw over the weekend that, uh, the 118 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: Democratic Socialists of New York City. Um, the Democratic Socialists 119 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: of New York City are an organization that Occasio Cortes is, 120 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, is a is in good standing with and 121 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: on their official side, they will have they have the following, 122 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: they have all these things. This is on their on 123 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: their site via Twitter. New York City Democratic socialists want 124 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: to abolish profit, abolish prisons, abolish cash bail, abolish borders 125 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: and abolish ice. This whole abolition of immigrations and customs 126 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: enforcement rhetoric. This is not happening in a vacuum. This 127 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: is not just a an emotional response to all the 128 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: images and the audio of children being separated from parents 129 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: at the border, which I would note, you know, children 130 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: separated from parents when they commit crimes and do bad 131 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: things all the time in this country. But you know, 132 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: the Democrats are way less interested in that because it's 133 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: not politically useful for them right now. But trying to 134 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: abolish all these things, you start to see that this 135 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: is this is a radical agenda in the in the true, 136 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: in the truth, in the true sense of the word. Uh, 137 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: the abolition of ice and the abolition of borders, this 138 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: goes side by side, So you know, and this is 139 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: why I have to be so careful when you're talking 140 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: about democrats, or trying to talk to a Democrat who 141 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: is on the left and and in good standing with 142 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: the progressives, you'll say, you know, you guys are so 143 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: hustle immigration and customs enforcement because you don't want to 144 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: you just don't want the laws to be enforced. Period. 145 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: They'll say, oh, buck, you know, Immigrations and Customs enforcement, 146 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: it was just constructed in two thousand and three, and 147 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: you know it's okay. Well before that it was US 148 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: US Customs, right. All the consolidation two thousands three did 149 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: was for bureaucratic reasons. They brought it under the overall 150 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: umbrel of Homeland Security and was supposed to be streamlined 151 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: and more effective. Whether it is or not, it's not 152 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: really doesn't really matter for our purposes right now. It's 153 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: just all the functions that Immigrations and Customers enforcement do 154 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: existed before the reorgan two thousand and three and would 155 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: have to exist going forward. Unless you really believe in 156 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: the abolition of borders, unless you want to be an 157 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: open borders country, and they keep saying we're not. We 158 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: don't want open borders, we don't want open borders. I'm 159 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: here to tell you that a lot of Democrats, a 160 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: lot of leftists are lying on that issue. They do 161 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: want open borders. They just know the American people are 162 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: not there with them. Yet they use this among them. 163 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: You know, this is what they say among themselves. This 164 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: is what they'll say at rallies, abolished ice, abolished borders, 165 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: probably abolished profit. That's the scariest one of all. And 166 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: I have I mean this, I'm looking at this right 167 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: now on their Twitter account. I'm I'm reading this abolished profit. 168 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: Think about that. You know, those of us are sitting 169 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: around like working ourselves, you know, probably into it early gray, 170 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: but working ourselves crazy because they're trying to do better 171 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: for ourselves, for our families. Uh, they would probably stop. 172 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: We would probably stop doing that if there was no profit. 173 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: Our society which has so much prosperity. I mean, we 174 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: are so well off you look back. I mean, one 175 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: of the reasons I love history so much is because, 176 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,599 Speaker 1: as you know, you understand history better, you understand the 177 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: present better. You also have a context for how you 178 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: should view our current moment in history. And it always 179 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: keeps you humble because you know, you know, we come 180 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: and go pretty fast, your folks mean a lot of times. 181 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: It might as well be nice to people and do 182 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: your best to be a good person. Right, These are 183 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: these are important lessons you can take from story. But 184 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: the system of capitalism that the left, including in America 185 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: and more openly now that we've seen a long time. 186 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: This system of capitalism that they rail against us unjust 187 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 1: as unequal, as has brought more people out of poverty, 188 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: has given more people hope and comfort and happiness than 189 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: any other economic system in the history of the planet. 190 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: And it's not even a close call. And socialism has 191 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: condemned generations and countless hundreds of millions of people to 192 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: misery and poverty. And yet somehow in this country there 193 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: are folks who are powerful, who are wealthy. By the way, 194 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren lives in a three million dollar house. Do 195 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: you know that maybe two point eight at current market value, 196 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: But she's a millionaire, folks, and she's running around, oh 197 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, but she's in good standing with these abolished 198 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: profit people. This is an insidious ideology we're talking about here, 199 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: you know, abolishing profit, abolishing borders, abolishing immigrations and customs enforcement. 200 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: This is destructive. And they want to run around and 201 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: cry about Trump and Trump is m and they say 202 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: it's fascism and Nazism and they're just delusional. But when 203 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: I see this, I see people that are effectively being 204 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: openly Marxist. I have real concerns about where this country 205 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: is going to ahead unless we confront this stuff head on, 206 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: and that's what we'll do here on the show. A 207 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: four to five eight four buck. I will be right back. 208 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: I hope they keep thinking about it, because they're gonna 209 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: get beating so badly. I love that issue. If they're 210 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: going to actually do that, they're obviously talking about that, 211 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: because they you are going to have a country that's 212 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: crime written, the Border Patrol, the Border Patrol agents ice, 213 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: these people are incredible. Hashtag abolish Ice has made a 214 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: lot of rounds on social media. You know that the activists, 215 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: set and the media are really focused on this, But 216 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: even the Huffington Post realizes it's not a great idea. 217 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: Abolishing ice isn't very popular yet, it says in the 218 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: Huffing Your Post, which is another way of saying it's 219 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: just not very popular. So I can't really tell at 220 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: this at this stage of the game, if this is 221 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: just a leftist temper tantrum in the era of Trump 222 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: and it's unwise and there's no method to madness, or 223 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: they think this is part of the long game of 224 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: moving the country slowly, but in their minds and a 225 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: kind of you know, marks a sense of the inevitability 226 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: of history moving us toward a more radical left wing society, 227 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: and it will take time. And you know the fact 228 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: that whatever percentage, uh, you know, whatever percentage of people 229 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: are in favor of this here here we go, favor 230 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: abolishing ice is according to Huffing and Post folks left 231 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: wing sites. Yeah, I go root around on these left 232 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: wing sites, so you don't have to waste your time 233 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: doing it. Uh. The percentage of of um Hillary Clinton 234 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: supporters here who favor ah, who strongly favor abolishing ice 235 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: is about That's what I guessed. The radical left, of 236 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: the radical love which unfortunately runs a Democrat party, and 237 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: most of the media, but that's who favors of Hillary supporters, 238 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: So you're sort of standard Democrat is in favor of this. Basically, 239 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: no Donald Trump supporters are in favor of this. I 240 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: mean the Donald Trump supporters that say they're in favor 241 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: of either probably didn't hear the question or just trying 242 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: to be provocative to the to the people who conducting 243 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: the survey. And then you know, you see the non 244 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: voter that they pulled here, it's again it's like four 245 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: or five. So it's just the radical left that wants 246 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: to do this. But the Democrat Party is being run 247 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: increasingly by the radical left, and this goes to show 248 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: you that they can't be honest about their real intentions. 249 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: And so when they put forward someone like Ocasio Cortez, 250 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: who is all about abolishing profit prisons, cash bail, borders, 251 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: and ice, they want to destroy all this stuff. Meanwhile 252 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: the rest of government they want to grow endlessly. I 253 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: always find this fascinating about leftist The parts of government 254 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: that we actually need they are hostile to, and the 255 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: parts of government that we don't need at all they 256 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: can't get enough of. You know, the military, no, no, no, 257 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: we need a smaller military, less funding. The military is 258 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: a problem. Department of Education, Oh my gosh, there's not 259 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: enough money for teachers. And Department of Education, Oh no, 260 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? You know that they're exactly 261 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: the polar opposite of correct on all of this, and 262 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: they're radicalism when it comes to the abolition of these 263 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: different members. I mean, abolished prophet is just that's something 264 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: that people say and they're either too stupid to know 265 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: what it means, or or they're just I don't know, 266 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: they really want their advocating. There's such malcontents that they're 267 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: advocating for the misery and suffering that has been on display, 268 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: and every country that has ever even begun to try this. 269 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: You know, we don't have to reach far back into 270 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: antiquity for this. You just look at what's going on 271 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: in Venezuela and you figure that Democrats can never they 272 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: never learn their lesson about this, They never have a 273 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: real understanding of what needs to be done, and they 274 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: are completely willing to use this stuff at a minimum 275 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: for base turnout. But but I also think that, you know, 276 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: if if they had their way, if the left had 277 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: their way, they would implement some of this they have been. 278 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: Abolished ice and replace it with what you're gonna call 279 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: it something, Abolish ice and replace it with nice. Everyone's 280 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: gonna be so nice to each other. It doesn't make 281 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: any sense. This has been the primary political issue we're 282 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: heading into a mid term. Are they are the Democrats 283 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: telling you anything about how they're going to increase jobs, 284 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: how they're gonna, you know, help raise wages, how they're gonna, 285 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: you know, produce better health. People say, oh, buck, well, 286 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: they're not in power. Yeah, but they're not even talking 287 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: about what they would do if they were in power. 288 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: They got nothing except Trump hatred and Jay Guivera wanna 289 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: be is um so a big election here in uh 290 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: in Mexico, and one that I think has implications that 291 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: you're certainly not going to hear from most of the 292 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: mainstream media. But they are troubling, my friends. They are troubling, 293 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: to say the least. Mexico is in many ways are 294 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: most important immediate security challenge. And I know that it's 295 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: not framed that way. It's not discussed as though that 296 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: is the case, but it is the case. When you 297 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: look at the drug cartels, the human smuggling, the importation 298 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: of lethal substances that are killing tens of thousands of 299 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: people of our fellow Americans, Mexico is a massive security challenge. 300 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: And you you also have to wonder over the long term, 301 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: will there be a strain of Mexican irredentism, meaning they 302 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: don't want to that they want to regain lost territory. 303 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: That will become a political problem as well. I'm seeing 304 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: here that there's already an effort to split where people 305 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: keep talking about this that the splitting California into three states, 306 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: which it's not going to happen because it's just complicated, 307 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: but it would certainly be an interesting situation if it 308 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: were to happen. Uh. And you wonder if over the 309 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: long term, there's the possibility that maybe a separatist movement 310 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: from within the American Southwest or along the US Mexico 311 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: border will be a problem we have to deal with. 312 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: But that's further done the line. For now. Let's look 313 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 1: at what happened here with this Mexican national election. Now 314 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: you have a far left guy, Obrador, Lopez Obrador, who 315 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: has won this thing. You know, he beat he beat 316 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: the competition. The New York Times refers to him as 317 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: an a typical leftist mm hmm, a typical leftist, okay. 318 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: And they're saying that he wrote a wave of populist 319 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: anger fueled by rampant corruption and violence. Uh, and he 320 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: wanted a landslide victory. And now they're saying he has 321 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: a sweeping mandate two uh, change things with the country, 322 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: all right, and and that this is a huge rejection 323 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: of the status quo and that he will Uh. This 324 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: is ac cording to the the Times, end corruption, reduce violence, 325 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: and address Mexico's endemic poverty. Folks, we have been to 326 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 1: this dance before. With some of our Latin American friends 327 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: and and regional partners, we have seen this play out. 328 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: You've got countries with all this corruption, with a lot 329 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:36,239 Speaker 1: of poverty, a lot of problems, and they come out saying, well, 330 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: you know what, we're going to find a way to 331 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: address this. And the way they want to address it 332 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: is usually the redistribution of wealth and more state spending 333 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: and state programs that the productive class will have to 334 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: subsidize them one way or another. Is a recipe for failure. 335 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: What ends up happening is that the government and I 336 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: know we were talking to Venice, we are the earlier 337 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: this hour, but this is true. The government comes in 338 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: and says, hey, we're gonna fix your problems, and they 339 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: don't fix a problems and they need to find a scapegoat. Well, 340 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: who's the scapegoat? If you're a populist, socialist government, far 341 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: left radical regime, whoever is doing well is the obvious scapegoat. Right, 342 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: The people that are managing to be prosperous and successful, 343 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: they're the problem. They're the ones keeping you, don't you see, 344 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: from having a better life. So we'll just take more 345 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: of their stuff and give it to you and you'll 346 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: be better off. And then all of a sudden, people realize, 347 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: hold on a second, well, now there's less foreign investment. 348 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: Now there's less productive activity going on. Now the people 349 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: that know how to run farms, you know, how to 350 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: run factories, aren't really doing it anymore, which means there's 351 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: less fruits and vegetables in the market. Stall means there 352 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: isn't milk in the grocery aisle anymore. You know, you 353 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: start to see all these problems. They come and they go, oh, well, 354 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: it's goo, and then the prices start to go up, right, 355 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: because prices are set by the market, no matter what 356 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: a government says. The government can say whatever, it can say, 357 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: the prices whatever it wants, but the price is what 358 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: the price is. People get on the black market, they'll 359 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: find a way. And then the government says, well, they're 360 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: being greedy. That's why you don't have more access to 361 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: you know, produce and products. It's because the greedy capitalists. 362 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: So now we're just gonna start seizing their assets and 363 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: we're we're going to take it from them. We're not 364 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: just gonna do it through redistribution, through taxation and other 365 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: mechanisms of the state. We're gonna actually try to run. 366 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: Now you're once you have control of the means of production. 367 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: Now you're with straight up socialism. And it's the question 368 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: do you have a revolutionary elite in charge? Then you're 369 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: at then you're at communism. Right then you're at the 370 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: hardcore level. Now even Venezuela is not communist. But there 371 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: is nothing to be gained from going down this pathway. 372 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: And Mexico's problems are are vast as we know. Let 373 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: me just say this, We had it. We just had 374 00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: a an election where Lopez Obrador was the winner. And 375 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: this is a country that has for us. The implications 376 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: of this national election are more important than I think 377 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: any other country I can think of off the top 378 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: of my head. I mean, maybe you could argue, you know, China, 379 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: but hey, you know, we don't know who we really 380 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 1: want to run China of the possible options, right, we've 381 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: got hijin Ping right now. But do we want Is 382 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: there somebody better that we know of? But a a 383 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: far left government in Mexico is something to be concerned about. 384 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: And Victor Davis Hansen, one of my favorite writers, pointed 385 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: out a National Review that once you start to look 386 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: at what Andrea's Manuel Lopez Obrador has said recently about 387 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: the relationship with the US and Mexico. You're concerned and 388 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: you start to worry, and you realize that there's some 389 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: stuff that needs to be addressed real fast. Um. He says, 390 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: for example, that Mexicans have a human right to enter 391 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: the United States as they please. Well, that doesn't that 392 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like our border is going to be particularly respected, 393 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: does it. Uh. He says that this is in innate 394 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: privilege that we will defend about the right of Mexicans 395 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: that come to America as they please. He has urged 396 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: his fellow Mexicans to leave their towns and find a 397 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: life in the United States. So he says that basically 398 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: Mexicans can come to America as they please and that 399 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: should be the status quo. Do you think this guy 400 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: is gonna be helpful or not helpful on the issue 401 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: of a border wall or a border that actually is 402 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: a border, right? I mean, do you think he's gonna 403 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: be working with us on this or is he gonna say, hey, 404 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's the Americans, the gringos problems, the Americans 405 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: problem mhm um. Hansen goes into some detail here, I 406 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: think is important background for the US Mexican relationship. In 407 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: the stands now by the way press is completely they 408 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: are on the issue of Mexico. They're not telling you anything. 409 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: They're not telling you anything. There was just an election 410 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: of Mexico for the president. How many places have you 411 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: seen and read that there have been over a hundred 412 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: and twenty assassinations of Mexican politicians and political figures, people 413 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: that work for them, political aids in the last year. 414 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: Hundred and twenty, folks, they are knocking off politicians, they're 415 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 1: left and right. Doesn't even not even a news item here. 416 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: No one even cares. No one even cares, and we 417 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: pay no attention to this. I'm sitting here and others 418 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: have started to raise the alarm too, saying that the 419 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: Mexican state has just suffered in seventeen. I don't, I 420 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: haven't seen the numbers. Eighteen. Well, I guess we're still 421 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: in twenty, right. Seventeen was the worst year for murders 422 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: in the history of Mexico. This is a country that 423 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: I remember back in two thousand and seven, two thousand 424 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: and eight, we were seeing videos on YouTube of decapitations 425 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: and torture and straight out of the ice this playbook. 426 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: Right the the way al Qaeda was operating, the way 427 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: that the cartels were operating, were felt like they were 428 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: very much aligned. And you're not seeing much reporting about 429 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: this now, are you. You're not seeing a lot of 430 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: big news stories on how there are cartels that are 431 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: engaging Mexican Marines military units in fixed uh fixed position 432 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: gun battles in large numbers and winning and driving off 433 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: the Marines or forcing the Marines have to call in 434 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: close air support helicopter gun ships so they don't get overrun. 435 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,479 Speaker 1: That's happening now, that's happening in the current situation. Mexico. Man, 436 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: this is a country that you know, it's on a 437 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: board a lot of listening to show. You're like, yeah, buck, 438 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: I you know I can drive to Mexican in a 439 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: couple of hours right here. You're not seeing reporting on 440 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: the hundreds of millions of dollars that cartels are making 441 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: from human smuggling. Just a lot of kids. It's all 442 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: about kids crying. It's not about what does it mean 443 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: to have a border that's not strong enough that we 444 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: can keep these coyotes from smuggling people into this country? 445 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: What does it mean that the cartels now are smuggling 446 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: people in And by the way, what do you think 447 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: the preferred method of payment is for someone who's being 448 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: for an illegal either Central American or Mexican being smuggled 449 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: into the United States by a cartel connected coyote. Well, 450 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: if you run out of cash, what do you think 451 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,479 Speaker 1: they do if you're a woman, by the way, I 452 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: won't even get to know, but you can imagine they 453 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: do terrible things if you're you know, woman or a 454 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: man in some cases. I mean, this is the other 455 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: option that they all taken with. With men, they tend 456 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: to take this option. Strap you with drugs, send you 457 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: across the border laden with heroin or fenton all or 458 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: a drug that when it makes its way into the 459 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: American market could very well end up killing somebody's son, daughter, wife, husband. 460 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: That's what's going on. I mean, we need to think 461 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 1: much more about Mexico as a national security concern and 462 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: one that affects you, you know, as much as I 463 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: do like to spend some time for you know, reasons 464 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: of the global struggle against jehadis Um And it's you know, ideologically, 465 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: it's clarifying, it's important Boco Haram is not about to 466 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: show up at your house and you know, kidnap you. 467 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: The cartels might. Boco Haram is not connected to people 468 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,959 Speaker 1: that are going to rape and murder teenagers at your 469 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: kids school. M S. Thirteen is in fact that cartels 470 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: are connected to m S. Theirteen and m S thirteen 471 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: recruits in schools all across the country. But they don't 472 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: want to talk to you about this narrative. They don't 473 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: want this to be something that America. If Americans were 474 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: more familiar with it, then all the stuff though, the 475 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: weepy eyed stuff about valid it's nothing but valedictorians and 476 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: people chasing the American dream. There's no downside. That wouldn't 477 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: be a tenable position anymore for them. They'd have to 478 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: tell us the whole story and not just some glossy 479 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: version of the story that they want to present for 480 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: their own reasons of power politics, which is Democrats just 481 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: want more voters. That's all. This is. Everything else's secondary. 482 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: Here's what Hansen writes about Mexico. Facts are stubborn things 483 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: and reveal Mexico not the United States, as a day 484 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: facto aggressor and belligerent on many fronts. Mexico runs a 485 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: NAFTA protected seventy billion dollar trade surplus with the US, 486 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: larger than that of any single American trade partner, including 487 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: Japan and Germany except China. The architects of NAFTA long 488 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: ago assured America that such a trade war would not 489 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: break out, or that we should not worry over trade 490 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: and balance is given the desirability of outsourcing to take 491 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: advantage of Mexico's cheaper labor costs. A supposedly affluent Mexico 492 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: was supposed to achieve near parody with the US as 493 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: immigration and trades who neutralized despite Mexico's economic growth. No 494 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: such symmetry has followed NAFTA. What did, however, thirty four 495 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: years later, was the establishment of a dysfunctional Mexican state 496 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: eight who's drug cartels all but run the country on 497 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: the basis of their enormous profits from unfettered dope running 498 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: and human trafficking into the United States. NAFTA certainly did 499 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: not make Mexico a safer, kinder and gentler nation. Folks, 500 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: Mexico is a problem for this country. I'm not saying 501 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: it's only a problem, but it poses many serious problems 502 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: And here's what I wanna talk about the other side 503 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: of the break. What do you think this new president 504 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: Obrador is going to do about it? He's a radical 505 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: leftist with some really nasty things to say about this country. 506 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: You think he's going to be not just a good 507 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: trade partner, but a good security partner. Oh, here's a hint. 508 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: He has a way of dealing with the cartels that 509 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: I have a feeling is going to make things much 510 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: much worse. And this is the kind of security challenge. 511 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: This is the kind of criminal challenge, criminal issue that 512 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: could affect you no matter where you're in the country, 513 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: because the tentacles of the cartels extended into even now 514 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: midden small as US cities and towns. What is over 515 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: door going to do? All addresses on the side of 516 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: the break, stay with me. We are committing human rights 517 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: abuses on this border and separating children from their families, 518 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: and that, you know, is part of the structure of 519 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: the agency. We can replace it, and we can replace 520 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: it with a humane agency. I don't think ICE today 521 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: is working as intended. You think you should get rid 522 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: of the agency. I believe that it has become a 523 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: deportation force. UM and I think you should separate the 524 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: criminal justice from the immigration issues. And I think you 525 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: should reimagine ICE. ICE was established in two thousand three, 526 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: right at the same time at the Patriot Act, the 527 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: a U m F, the Iraq War, and we look 528 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: back at a lot of that time and legislation as 529 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: a as a mistake. Now. Yeah, see there's that talking 530 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: point again about how two thousand three, Yeah, they consolidated agencies, 531 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: but the functions of the federal government did not change 532 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: at all. It's crazy, oh man. But also on on 533 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: O Brador, the new president of Mexico, I think this 534 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: is really really important. Um. It is believed that the 535 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: likeliest approach he will take to the cartels is one 536 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: of trying to negotiate with them. That so he'll pull 537 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: the security services, He'll pull the in federales, the Mexican Marines, 538 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: and all the different units that are trying to fight 539 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: against the cartels. He'll just start to pull them back 540 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: and say, you know what, keep the violence down and 541 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: we'll leave you alone. What do you think that means 542 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: for us? Do you think that means that will be 543 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: more or less drugs flooding into our streets? You think 544 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: that will be more or less funerals from people overdosing 545 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: from fentonel and heroin. This is our problem, Mexico. You 546 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: know a lot of the countries you talk about over Yeah, 547 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 1: I mean North Korea's our problem at that fire nuctus. 548 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: But you know there are other countries that could try 549 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: that to right, unlikely that that's ever gonna happen. Mexico 550 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: is our problem right now. The Mexican government's policies, it's approached. 551 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: Did you think with the cartels this is something that 552 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: we have to handle. This is something that's on us. Uh, 553 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: And we do not. I do not think we have 554 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: a strong partner. Trump said some nice things about over door, 555 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: because look, he's a new president. He's gonna try to 556 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: get a good relationship going with him. Maybe he will 557 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: surprise me, maybe he will take a a different approach 558 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: to this than I would think. Here's a here's a 559 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: line that Victor Davis Hansen writes just write just reading 560 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: you from what he wrote a National Review. Here, as 561 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: we're talking about our relationship with Mexico. Quote, there appears 562 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,240 Speaker 1: to be little real self reflection in Mexico about how 563 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: and why such a naturally rich country blessed with good soil, climate, 564 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: natural resources, ports, and a strategic geography remains so dismally poor. 565 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: Does anybody, uh, I want to take a stab at 566 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: starting that discussion. Anybody think that it's something we can 567 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: we can begin to address. Why is our neighbor to 568 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: the north so rule of law and orderly and our 569 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: neighbor to the south has such tremendous problems. By the way, Canada, 570 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: you know they've been growing weird. I mean they've got 571 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: a legal drugs right there, stuff that they but it's 572 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: just not the same. Why is that? Does anybody have 573 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: any ideas as to why that is? The gig? Um? 574 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: I think that you know this this piece by Viker 575 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: Davis Hanson, I really think you should check it out. Um. 576 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: And he also refers to the kids being sent to 577 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: the border as levers for one owns later on entry. 578 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: So he's saying that the kids are being used as 579 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: a trojan horse situation, which nobody else will say that. 580 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: There is a huge range in home security systems out there, 581 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: and there are thousands and thousands of customer complaints that 582 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: come into the Better Business Bureau about the alarm companies 583 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: that you don't want to do business with.

But in 604 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: our current era of an open Supreme Court seat, now 605 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: that Justice Kennedy has announced his retirement, things are getting wacko, 606 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: my friends, things are getting crazy out there. Arazy ah ory. Well, 607 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: first you had the President mentioned that he met with 608 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: a few before I get into the crazy, Let's hear 609 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: the scene. Here's the President said about meeting with nominees, 610 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 1: played thirteen. During the morning, I interviewed and met with 611 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: four potential justices of our great Supreme Court. They are 612 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: outstanding people. They are really incredible people in so many 613 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: different ways, academically and every other way. And I had 614 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: a very very interesting morning, very very interesting morning. Indeed. Now, 615 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: the expectation is that all of the judges that Trump 616 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,839 Speaker 1: has picked, all the judges that he has looked at 617 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: um so far on his list, are people who are constitutionalists. 618 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: And the left is is terrified, quite honestly, that this 619 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: is going to affect a Roe v. Wade, one of 620 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: the worst judicial decisions of all time, one of the 621 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: very very worst in this country, and that includes a 622 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 1: dark history with some really bad stuff. A Senator Collins, meanwhile, 623 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 1: who wants to make sure that we all know that 624 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: she is a woman of uh, no conviction that she 625 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 1: is someone who you know, as as the senior U S. 626 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 1: Senator from Maine, is looking first and foremost to protect 627 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: her own political career, is really a collinsist before anything else. 628 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: She wants to make it sure, make make it clear 629 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: that she has a litmus test, you know, she she 630 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: wants a certain kind of person that has a certain 631 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: view of specific cases on the Court play nine. Justice 632 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: Roberts has made very clear that he considers Roe v. 633 00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: Way to be settled law. I would not support a 634 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: nominee who demonstrated hostility to Roe v. Wade, because that 635 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: would mean to me that their judicial philosophy did not 636 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: include a respect for established decisions, established law, established decisions 637 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: like star a decisive established decisions. I'm just gonna say that, 638 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be mean. Seems to be a 639 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: deeply unimpressive person, this Susan Collins. Oh not not anybody 640 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: who is laying the world on fire with her intellectual prowess. 641 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,280 Speaker 1: I I just I'm keeping it real, okay. Beside that, though, 642 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: beside that point, this is the dumbest argument that there is. Well, 643 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,439 Speaker 1: that's the way it was decided, so it should still 644 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: be decided that way. Yes, the Supreme Court has a 645 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: has a guideline because they don't want you know, it 646 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: would be bad if you know, one year this, the 647 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: next year, that, one year this, the next year that. Right, 648 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: there's a a willingness to respect precedent, but that doesn't 649 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: mean a complete deferral the precedent, because then what's the 650 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: point of the Supreme Court? Right? You know that the 651 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:22,879 Speaker 1: people that really talk about established law when it comes 652 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: to Row are the same people who will who will 653 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: celebrate oh Berg fell on gay marriage. Gay marriage had 654 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: not been a law of land in this country for 655 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: a long time, but a change, right, same people who 656 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: view Heller the case dealing with a gun ownership in 657 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 1: washing d C. Where I am here in the swamp, 658 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 1: that's a target to be overturned. I mean, there's just there, 659 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: there's no foundational principle to talk about with these people 660 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: that are saying, oh, you know, it's established law, it's 661 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: established law. So that's just idiocy. It's idiocy in the 662 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: guise of uh, some kind of real argument. Um, you know, okay, 663 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,320 Speaker 1: I mean, dread Scott. Some would probably if you asked 664 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: what was the worst Supreme Court decision of all time, 665 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: you would probably get uh dread Scott, which held that 666 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 1: a person of African heritage brought the United States uh 667 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: could not be an American citizen, could not sue in 668 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: federal court. Um. And yeah, so, I mean, if you're 669 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: looking for the worst, that was a decision, that was 670 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: a Supreme Court case. You know they're there Karamatsu, which 671 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: we've been talking about, the Japanese intern INTERMITTI Japanese Americans. 672 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 1: That was a case that the Supreme Court looked at. 673 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: And yeah, so because it was decided, isn't an argument, 674 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's just not. It's it's a factor in 675 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 1: an overall argument. You could say, but this is the 676 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: the stupidity, it's gonna be on display. But I mentioned that. 677 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: You know that an the legal profession, or in the 678 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: legal analysis side of things, you might think to yourself, 679 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: these are lawyers, they're trained, they come at this from 680 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: from a place of knowledge and intellect, and so they're 681 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: not just out there staying crazy stuff to get attention. 682 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: But if you thought that, you'd be wrong. Chief CNN 683 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:34,320 Speaker 1: legal analyst Jeffrey Tubin, writing The New Yorker, Uh, he 684 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: wrote that see the new year, and see the new U. S. 685 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: Supreme Court clearly abortion, illegal doctors, prosecuted, gay people, barred 686 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: from restaurants, hotels, stores, African Americans out of elite schools, 687 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: gun control band in fifty states, the end of the 688 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 1: regulatory state. If this is not the legal analysis equivalent 689 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 1: of wild fearmongering, I don't know what is. And on 690 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 1: some of these things, I'd be like, well, yeah, that actually, 691 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 1: you know, that sounds the end of the regulatory state. 692 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: It sounds like a good thing. Gun control band in 693 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: fifty states, you know. Now, now we're getting somewhere. But 694 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: some of these other things are just he's just made up. 695 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: It's just not true. Gay people are not going to 696 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: be barred from restaurants, hotels, and stores. That's not gonna happen. 697 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 1: That's not I don't I don't think he even makes 698 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: a good faith, serious argument that anyone is on the 699 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,920 Speaker 1: Supreme Court would allow that to happen. But he's trying 700 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: to scare people. They are doing everything they can to 701 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,760 Speaker 1: frighten everyone into thinking that there is some terrible calamity 702 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: will befall us unless we pick a kind of squishy 703 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 1: moderate to to put on the Supreme Court, and that 704 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 1: would be and un forgivable betrayal of Donald Trump's promise 705 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 1: and his presidency. And he knows that, and that's why 706 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 1: we're looking at these uh. That's why we're looking at 707 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: these candidates now and know that no matter what the 708 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 1: other side says, no matter what they present to us 709 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: as their rationale for why the the sitting president doesn't 710 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 1: have the right UH to pick a Supreme Court nominee, 711 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 1: we need to just stay away from it. We need 712 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 1: to not allow them to get into our heads with 713 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 1: this garbage. It is just a lie. UM. I know 714 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh and Barrett are considered leading contenders for the Supreme Court. 715 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: I will say it will be really interesting, is you know, 716 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:46,280 Speaker 1: one of the last acceptable bigotries out there for the media, 717 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: one of the last ones that they'll they'll just throw 718 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: it around and they've got no problem with whatsoever is 719 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: anti Catholic um. And now there are a lot of 720 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: Catholics I know who are culturally you know they were 721 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 1: raised I mean anti Catholic for those who who go 722 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,880 Speaker 1: to church and who believe in church doctrine, they can 723 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 1: be attacked, they can be smeared. And with Amy Barrett, 724 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,200 Speaker 1: I think she's a Catholic. I think Kavanaugh was a 725 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 1: Catholic too. I think there are a couple of folks 726 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: out there who are a couple of Supreme Court possibilities 727 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,839 Speaker 1: who are Catholics, and they are gonna get so hammered 728 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,720 Speaker 1: by the Senate, by the Senate Democrats on this issue. 729 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,399 Speaker 1: And you'll notice that they don't they don't pull back 730 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: at all with the whole you're a Catholic, so you 731 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: basically you're a Catholic like Scalia was, So you really 732 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,400 Speaker 1: can't be a Supreme Court You really can't be a 733 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:49,239 Speaker 1: Supreme Court judge. M hmm. And I'm assuming so do 734 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: my or, but I could be wrong. I'm guessing I 735 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 1: should say so do my or was raised Catholic. But 736 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how you can square being pro choice 737 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 1: with being a Catholic. I don't understand that. I just 738 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: I don't get it. So, I mean, the Church hasn't moved. 739 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 1: There's some issues you can talk about. Same sex marriage 740 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:12,439 Speaker 1: the churches is at least the pope is speaking about, 741 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,840 Speaker 1: and the popes has a lot of things with a 742 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 1: little more a different tone than in the past. On life, 743 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,719 Speaker 1: on abortion, there is no mm hmm. There has been 744 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,880 Speaker 1: no shift in Catholic doctrine. So I just wonder, and 745 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm Pelosi and these others they should be denied communion. 746 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they actually should be excommunicated. But that's now 747 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,439 Speaker 1: I start to sound like Torquamana, who we talked about 748 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: on the Freedom Hunt podcast. By the way, for those 749 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,240 Speaker 1: of you who listened, you should check out The Freedom 750 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 1: Home with Buck Sexton. It's a lot of fun. We 751 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: talked about all kinds of things. Writing history, one of 752 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,879 Speaker 1: our new segments that we'll be doing sometimes Commy Bear 753 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,879 Speaker 1: makes it appearance. It's good stuff. You should check it out. 754 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: But but here's here's the real, the real road map 755 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 1: of what's gonna happen. And you know, Collins and others 756 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,840 Speaker 1: are are given us a sense of this already. Uh, 757 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 1: this is going to be one of the nastiest political 758 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: fights that we have ever seen over the Supreme Court. 759 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,399 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be so nasty and part I think 760 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 1: because there's really no mechanism for the Democrats to stop it. 761 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 1: There's nothing they can really legitimately do to shut this 762 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 1: thing down. So they're just gonna rely on hysteria and 763 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 1: pressure campaigns, and it's gonna get very very ugly. But 764 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 1: I want you to always keep an eye on the 765 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,400 Speaker 1: way that they're making, the way that they're talking about 766 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: these different Supreme Court picks, and and understand that they're 767 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 1: not making good faith arguments. Liberals have become far too 768 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 1: accustomed to having a Supreme Court that gives them what 769 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: they cannot get through the legislature, and they think that 770 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 1: that has been the status quo for a long time, 771 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,319 Speaker 1: and whenever the liberals get from the Supreme Court is sacrosanct, 772 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:56,280 Speaker 1: cannot be changed, cannot be touched. Conservative victories are always temporary. 773 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,839 Speaker 1: Liberal victories are forever. That's the way they look at it, 774 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 1: and that's the Supreme Court that they want to have 775 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,399 Speaker 1: in place, and anything short of that they will view 776 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 1: as unacceptable. I even saw a a legal scholar, I 777 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 1: forget what the guy's name is. Um. I even saw 778 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 1: a legal scholar out there who was recommending that the 779 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: Democrats when they come back into power, engage in court packing, 780 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,359 Speaker 1: meaning that they they put more that they create more 781 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,279 Speaker 1: Supreme Court seats and then just put more leftists on there. 782 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 1: So this is they're they're not operating from a place 783 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 1: of good faith or honesty. They're just operating from place 784 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 1: of we want judges who give us what we want, 785 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 1: not to interpret the law, not to be faithful to 786 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 1: the Constitution. We want people to stand up there and right. 787 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: I mean in the case of someone like so do 788 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 1: mayor semi coherent screeds that our policy papers dressed up 789 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: as legal interpretation. But that's what we want and we 790 00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:02,440 Speaker 1: want it now. That's their approach. So make no mistake 791 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 1: about it. This is going to get, uh, particularly ugly, 792 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 1: as we've been saying. And you know this week it's 793 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,799 Speaker 1: fourth of July week, and so things are gonna when 794 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 1: we come back after the holiday, although it's kind of 795 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,759 Speaker 1: a weird holiday this year, you know fourth.

I'm sure there's gonna be all kinds of things. Uh, 827 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's gonna be all kinds of stuff going 828 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,759 Speaker 1: on where people are talking about America and freedom. I 829 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 1: don't look, any excuse to barbecue gets me excited, So 830 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: I will say that.

Through this debacle that has been this entire 869 00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 1: family separation from says. The one thing that has been 870 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:05,759 Speaker 1: revealed is that this government, this administration, is incompetent. And 871 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,920 Speaker 1: in the event that you didn't know it before, you 872 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 1: know it. But certainly now. They lie. They lie, They lie, 873 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 1: they lie, they life pathologically. They lie with impunity, They 874 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,919 Speaker 1: lie constantly, They lie one time right after the other, 875 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,000 Speaker 1: like if they hadn't said anything before. Sometimes to think 876 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 1: that Anna Navarro over at CNN, I mean maybe maybe 877 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 1: it's just a lack of word dexterity, you know, running 878 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,360 Speaker 1: short of the vocabulary, the way that she does her analysis. 879 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 1: It's just like, is that really the best we can do? 880 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:44,560 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, they put her on TV all 881 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,200 Speaker 1: the time, like we're supposed to listen to her. I 882 00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,320 Speaker 1: don't understand it, but they do. They treat her with 883 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 1: a lot of respect. They quote Republican over there, seeing 884 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,960 Speaker 1: all she does is bash the administration among the dumbest 885 00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 1: people I know of. On television today, Carol in Pittman, 886 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:03,239 Speaker 1: New Jersey, Carol, good to have you. Hello about care 887 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,360 Speaker 1: are you? I'm good, happy to be here, Thanks so 888 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 1: much for going in. So many things I want to 889 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,239 Speaker 1: talk to you about. But the thing foremast in my 890 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:17,239 Speaker 1: mind is cast I'm very worried that this could be 891 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 1: against the administration. UM. I feel like there needs to 892 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,600 Speaker 1: be strategic patients. You know who agrees with you, by 893 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 1: the way, you know agrees with you? Johnson and New 894 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,919 Speaker 1: play clip three, my friend, I think in the long run, 895 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 1: the president is a free trader, but he does understand 896 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 1: that over the years we have drifted into this horrible position. Uh. 897 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,160 Speaker 1: He's using attack that that might be different than than 898 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,920 Speaker 1: some of us would use, but it is attacked to 899 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 1: get this process back to a free trade structure, both 900 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,400 Speaker 1: with China and the EU. We may not like this 901 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:55,279 Speaker 1: transition and the policies involved in the transition, but I 902 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,920 Speaker 1: think the target is to get to a free trade 903 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,399 Speaker 1: policy in the long run, and that's what I think 904 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 1: we ought to be keeping our eye on. I agree 905 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,759 Speaker 1: with the new new Carol Um and I'm gonna talk 906 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 1: more about this in just a little bit. We're probably 907 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,040 Speaker 1: gonna talk trade in the third hour of the show 908 00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,640 Speaker 1: today with some more specificity about the upcoming tariffs on China. 909 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,520 Speaker 1: But so is that that's what you want us to 910 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 1: get into that, right? Yes, okay, I'm worried. All right, Well, 911 00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 1: your wishes our command here in the Freedom Huod Carol. 912 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,279 Speaker 1: We will get to the issue of tariffs, and don't 913 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: worry yet. I think everybody's gonna be all right. I'll 914 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 1: tell you more about that in just a view um 915 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:35,239 Speaker 1: our conservatives weaponizing free speech? Is that even a thing? 916 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,800 Speaker 1: Liberals seem to think it is? How is there a thing? 917 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:41,920 Speaker 1: What are they saying? If you stay with me through 918 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 1: this break, my friends, I will tell you he's holding 919 00:56:55,120 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 1: the line for America, buck Sexton, his back. Is free 920 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:09,440 Speaker 1: speech a conservative weapon? This is uh an astonishing piece 921 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:15,799 Speaker 1: of not not editorial, my friends, This is a reporting. 922 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 1: This is reporting courtesy of the New York Times on 923 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 1: the issue of free speech and how they think now 924 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 1: that free speeches where where being weaponized by conservatives. Let 925 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 1: me read you some of this. This is, remember, folks, 926 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,440 Speaker 1: not an up ed. This was reported in the Politics 927 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,960 Speaker 1: section of The New York Times as a news story 928 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,760 Speaker 1: and I quote. On the final day of the Supreme 929 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,840 Speaker 1: Court term last week, Justice Elena Kagan sounded an alarm 930 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 1: the courts five conservative members, citing the First Amendment had 931 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 1: just doubt public unions, a devastating blow. The day before, 932 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,440 Speaker 1: the same majority had used the First Amenment to reject 933 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 1: the California law requiring acquiring religiously oriented crisis pregnancy centers 934 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 1: to provide women with information about abortion. Conservatives, said Justice Kagan, 935 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,880 Speaker 1: who is part of the Court's four member liberal ring, 936 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 1: were weaponizing the First Amendment. The two decisions were the 937 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,560 Speaker 1: latest in a stunning ring of victories for a conservative 938 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 1: agenda that has increasingly been built on the foundation of 939 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 1: free speech. Conservative groups barring and building an arguments developed 940 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 1: by liberals, have used the First Amendment to justify unlimited 941 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 1: campaign spending, discrimination against gay couples, and attacks on the 942 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:40,160 Speaker 1: regulation of tobacco, pharmaceuticals and guns. Liberals, my friends, and 943 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 1: that's so that's the end of the quote there. Liberals 944 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:47,160 Speaker 1: are not in favor of free speech. They're in favor 945 00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 1: of what they're in favor of, meaning that liberals interpret laws. 946 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 1: And this is very important for you to keep this 947 00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,920 Speaker 1: in mind. Liberals interpret laws based upon what they want 948 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,840 Speaker 1: the law to say. You will be hard pressed to 949 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 1: find a progressive leftist who comes along and says, you know, 950 00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 1: I really disagree with this outcome of this law, but 951 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,360 Speaker 1: that is what the law says. You'll notice that the 952 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 1: liberal wing and this, this is where their distinction is. 953 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,920 Speaker 1: This is how there's a separation betwo conservatives and liberals. 954 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 1: You will see sometimes or many times when there's a 955 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 1: contentious issue in front of the Supreme Court, and this 956 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,120 Speaker 1: is also just the way this is beyond the court. 957 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,360 Speaker 1: This is the way liberals and conservatives see the world right, 958 00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 1: but the conservative justices will say, well, you know, this 959 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,680 Speaker 1: seems like an unwise thing, this policy that you have, 960 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 1: but this is what the law says, and it is constitutional. 961 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,760 Speaker 1: There's nothing the constitution that prohibits this. The way liberals 962 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 1: approach the law, the way liberals approach issues of constitutional interpretation, 963 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,760 Speaker 1: they say, well, this is what the law should say, 964 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,200 Speaker 1: and so we're going to say that that's what the 965 00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,680 Speaker 1: law sets, which is just other way of saying the 966 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 1: law is non existent. Really, it's just a question of 967 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,880 Speaker 1: what day it is and what any particular progressive power 968 01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 1: feels like instituting as the law. This is very troubling. 969 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,840 Speaker 1: But you see this with free speech. You know, it 970 01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,760 Speaker 1: wasn't long ago that you thought of the liberal left 971 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,520 Speaker 1: in this country as being the big free speech. They 972 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 1: held themselves up as the free speech champions, right, the 973 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:28,840 Speaker 1: Berkeley free speech movement. Now there are in in a 974 01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,640 Speaker 1: tremendous irony. There are a few places in the country 975 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 1: where there's less free speech than a college campus. Berkeley 976 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:40,480 Speaker 1: high up on that list. These these uh liberal institutions, 977 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 1: these leftist institutions, places like the a c l U. 978 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,040 Speaker 1: It wasn't long ago the a c l U would 979 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 1: sue anybody so that they could promote you know, radical 980 01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,080 Speaker 1: free speech. Right, that would be one way of calling it. 981 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,440 Speaker 1: You know, the more insulting you can be too, you know, 982 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,120 Speaker 1: if you can put a crucifix in urine with public dollars, 983 01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, go for right. Whatever it was that was 984 01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:08,960 Speaker 1: an insult of Christianity, to established societal norms. And by 985 01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,520 Speaker 1: the way, I'm pretty I try to be as close 986 01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:15,360 Speaker 1: to to a a free speech hardliner as possible, So 987 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:19,200 Speaker 1: I do believe that speech that's insulting, that's enraging even 988 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 1: is protected. I do believe that the most grievous religious 989 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,080 Speaker 1: insults are completely protected speech. And I also believe that 990 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 1: calling you know, one political party, for example, in the 991 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 1: American in the current American context, essentially you know, socialism 992 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,240 Speaker 1: with the face of of democracy is or with the 993 01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:43,320 Speaker 1: face of the Democrat party is fair to say, right. 994 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that very harsh political criticism as 995 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:51,480 Speaker 1: well is is protected speech. I mean, liberals, Democrats, the left, 996 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 1: they don't buy into that. They believe that. And this 997 01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,720 Speaker 1: is why I'm always so opposed to hate speech re 998 01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:02,280 Speaker 1: um regulations. This is why I'm opposed to any efforts 999 01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 1: to qualify speech based on the desirability of the content. Right, 1000 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,960 Speaker 1: That's why I have I have concerns about this. That's 1001 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,280 Speaker 1: this is why as I see what's going on, what's 1002 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,400 Speaker 1: happening right now, I understand that the left is abandoning 1003 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,560 Speaker 1: the notion of free speech because they're losing the argument. 1004 01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 1: They're losing the argument over religious freedom, they're losing the 1005 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:30,640 Speaker 1: argument over forced compelled speech. You know, they're saying, oh, well, 1006 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,440 Speaker 1: you know, why can't it's just a medical procedure. No, 1007 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 1: abortion is not just a medical procedure and forcing somebody 1008 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:44,400 Speaker 1: who at least professionally exists to avoid something, forcing them 1009 01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 1: to you know that This would be like saying, you know, 1010 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 1: all doctors are mandated by the state of California to 1011 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,440 Speaker 1: tell people who are in the early stages of developing, 1012 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, or are showing warnings for lung cancer. You know, 1013 01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,680 Speaker 1: you could you could just keep smoking and maybe nothing 1014 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:04,160 Speaker 1: will happen to you. That would seem pretty antithetical to 1015 01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 1: what what they're trying to accomplish, right, That would seem 1016 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 1: to be quite as stratch. But that's really what's going 1017 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 1: on here. That's what has been happening. Compelled speech when 1018 01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:17,200 Speaker 1: it comes to abortion. By the way, they they wish 1019 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:22,440 Speaker 1: if liberals could, they would outlaw criticism of abortion, they 1020 01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 1: would outlaw nasty speech about abortion providers. Uh. Abortion is 1021 01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,240 Speaker 1: the this is why things are gonna get so ugly. 1022 01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,960 Speaker 1: Of the Supreme Court nominee. Abortion is the single issue 1023 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:39,560 Speaker 1: that is of greatest psychological importance to the left right now. 1024 01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,480 Speaker 1: And I think it's because they realize that once the 1025 01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 1: country comes to its senses on this, there will have 1026 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:50,760 Speaker 1: to be a reckoning with what Ney roll and planned 1027 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 1: parenthood and these organizations have been pushing and what Hollywood 1028 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,120 Speaker 1: has been a part of here and what they have done, 1029 01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:05,160 Speaker 1: it is an egregious, egregious, uh violation of all the 1030 01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:08,760 Speaker 1: most basic human decency and our obligations to each other 1031 01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,120 Speaker 1: as human beings. But I don't want to get too 1032 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,080 Speaker 1: far into that conversation right now, because that's all I 1033 01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:17,320 Speaker 1: end up talking about. But just this whole notion as 1034 01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 1: I sit here, that the First Amendment has been weaponized? 1035 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:24,160 Speaker 1: What does that even mean? That conservatives will push their 1036 01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,280 Speaker 1: ideas even if it upsets liberals and so that's weaponizing it. 1037 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this is crazy. I mean, Kagan is a 1038 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:37,640 Speaker 1: perfect example of leftist jurisprudence. When you see this, you know, 1039 01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:39,800 Speaker 1: they they just want to find a way to outlaw 1040 01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 1: stuff they don't like, you know, they they want to. 1041 01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 1: By the way, they'll extend this to making you use 1042 01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 1: pronouns for people that aren't actually even pronouns, but you'll 1043 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 1: be required, under under pain of state sanction, to use 1044 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 1: pronouns that are uh, completely and utterly made up come 1045 01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,880 Speaker 1: out of nowhere? You did? You know Canada has just 1046 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:02,480 Speaker 1: been dealing with this as well. This is how Professor 1047 01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,920 Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson became so well known. He's like, I'm not 1048 01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:08,720 Speaker 1: using like Z to refer to somebody. Sorry, that's just weird. 1049 01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 1: You know. I'm not changing speech because people have this 1050 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,240 Speaker 1: belief in their minds about who they are and what 1051 01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 1: they should be all about. But I do just think 1052 01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,840 Speaker 1: it's so interesting that the the ground has entirely shifted 1053 01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,080 Speaker 1: and conservatives want to be able to make the argument 1054 01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,560 Speaker 1: and want to make the argument freely, and they also 1055 01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,920 Speaker 1: want to be able to express their ideas, and liberals 1056 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,720 Speaker 1: are constantly turning. I mean, it's fascinating because they'll say, 1057 01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:36,040 Speaker 1: all Trump's a fascist. Liberals are constantly turning to the 1058 01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:40,640 Speaker 1: power of the state to shut down speech that they 1059 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 1: do not like. You know, liberals will turn around and 1060 01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:50,200 Speaker 1: find every justification imaginable for them to be able to 1061 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,880 Speaker 1: dictate what you can say right there there. They'll they'll 1062 01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,520 Speaker 1: move around the law however they have to. And this 1063 01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,160 Speaker 1: piece just really struck me as at least it's honest, right, 1064 01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:04,200 Speaker 1: at least the weaponization of speech is something that they'll 1065 01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 1: talk about openly now, and and it's gonna get a 1066 01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:09,880 Speaker 1: lot worse, folks, because as they continue to and I'm 1067 01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,200 Speaker 1: gonna talk about the political losses that I think they're facing. 1068 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,160 Speaker 1: But as they continue to not get their way, you're 1069 01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 1: going to be in a situation where or we're going 1070 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 1: to be in a situation where they're grasping to try 1071 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,800 Speaker 1: and stack the deck in their favor. They're they're gonna 1072 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:30,400 Speaker 1: try to find ways to um even out the political 1073 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:35,240 Speaker 1: momentum and and tilted towards their side because they're losing 1074 01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,600 Speaker 1: on some of these things. They're just losing, and so 1075 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,480 Speaker 1: they're losing it as a result. Uh, they are they 1076 01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,680 Speaker 1: are not committed to freedom of any They're not committed 1077 01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:46,720 Speaker 1: to freedom of any kind. Unfortunately, the only freedom they 1078 01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,120 Speaker 1: really believe it is the freedom to to terminate a 1079 01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,080 Speaker 1: pregnancy and end of human life. That is the most 1080 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:56,160 Speaker 1: ancord freedom of Democrats, and it's why they are so utterly, 1081 01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:00,280 Speaker 1: uh freaked out about the Supreme Court situation. But I 1082 01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:01,640 Speaker 1: want to talk about what I think is coming on 1083 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,480 Speaker 1: the political side to here some interesting insight, believe it 1084 01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 1: or not, from Chuck cod Here's what here's the short version. 1085 01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,720 Speaker 1: Trump is winning. We'll get to that in a moment. 1086 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,960 Speaker 1: The announced retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy this 1087 01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 1: week helped make one political reality clear despite his overall 1088 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:32,880 Speaker 1: on popularity, President Trump is winning and the Democrats right 1089 01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,480 Speaker 1: now are reeling. The Supreme Court, Mr Trump is about 1090 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,160 Speaker 1: to shape the Court for generation by choosing a possible 1091 01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,320 Speaker 1: tie breaking conservative justice, and he's already filled the lower 1092 01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:46,080 Speaker 1: courts with like minded conservatives. About the Republican Party, the 1093 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:50,760 Speaker 1: President's approval rating among Republicans is around elected Republicans fear 1094 01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:54,480 Speaker 1: criticizing him, and the party has become a cult of personality. 1095 01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:58,440 Speaker 1: His how about fake news? Mr Trump has turned that phrase, 1096 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:02,360 Speaker 1: which initially refer to the phony Russian generated stories designed 1097 01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:06,280 Speaker 1: to support his campaign in and to an applause line, 1098 01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:11,160 Speaker 1: now to discredit responsible reporting, showcasing his misdeeds about credibility. 1099 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,760 Speaker 1: If reporters faithfully fact checked the President's serial misstatements, they 1100 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:18,360 Speaker 1: risk being considered biased. If they don't, the misstatements gain traction. 1101 01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:22,719 Speaker 1: Either way, Mr Trump wins. So they have Chuck Todd, 1102 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:27,280 Speaker 1: who at least is smart enough to figure out that 1103 01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:31,719 Speaker 1: indeed Trump is winning. And this is a recurring theme 1104 01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,080 Speaker 1: here on the Bucks Action Show, as you know, but 1105 01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,640 Speaker 1: it's one that that I do like to spend some 1106 01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,280 Speaker 1: of our time on because certainly the mainstream media does 1107 01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 1: not want to do it all that much. They've thrown 1108 01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 1: everything they have at this guy, every dirty trick in 1109 01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,439 Speaker 1: the book. They had the October surprise before the election 1110 01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,919 Speaker 1: with the Billy Bush tape. They've run a special counsel 1111 01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:57,400 Speaker 1: investigation of him. They're hounding all of all of his 1112 01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:03,200 Speaker 1: White House employees. They're the entire Washington, d C and 1113 01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,160 Speaker 1: Ascella Corridor, which is for the Ascella train that runs 1114 01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,640 Speaker 1: from Boston to d C. It's supposed to be a 1115 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,760 Speaker 1: high speed train. It's really not that fast. Uh. That 1116 01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 1: entire set of the country is all those reporters are 1117 01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:21,240 Speaker 1: are effectively an oppo research team against this president. That 1118 01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:22,880 Speaker 1: is what they view as their role. That is what 1119 01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,000 Speaker 1: they do. They do not tell positive stories. They do 1120 01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,759 Speaker 1: not want to tell positive stories. But this is really 1121 01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:32,360 Speaker 1: a warning from Chuck Todd about how despite all of that, 1122 01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:36,360 Speaker 1: despite everything that they have done to try and derail 1123 01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:40,800 Speaker 1: this president, to try and you know, get his associates 1124 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,160 Speaker 1: arrested and imprisoned people and drive a wedge between Trump 1125 01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,800 Speaker 1: and the most important members of his team, guess what, 1126 01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:52,519 Speaker 1: he is still thriving as president and the country. No 1127 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:56,760 Speaker 1: matter what they try to tell you. The country is 1128 01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:05,639 Speaker 1: absolutely pause Ativley doing well. The country is doing well 1129 01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,080 Speaker 1: right now. The country is not in a place where 1130 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,000 Speaker 1: we should be worried about fascism, where she we should 1131 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 1: be worried of. I mean, that's just crazy talk, right, 1132 01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 1: And Chuck Todd is sitting here saying, well, we think 1133 01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:21,519 Speaker 1: he's terrible and he's so scummy, but meanwhile he's winning. 1134 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,240 Speaker 1: You know. Also, um our our friend Michael Goodwin writes 1135 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,760 Speaker 1: The New York Post. He wrote a comma the weekend 1136 01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 1: about how, yeah, that's right. Despite all the stuff that 1137 01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:30,559 Speaker 1: they say, all the stuff that they do, it it 1138 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:36,280 Speaker 1: is in fact the case that Trump is winning, and 1139 01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,280 Speaker 1: this is driving them even crazier and crazier. What is 1140 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 1: it that they think that they are going to accomplish 1141 01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,320 Speaker 1: at this point by continuing the same stale there just 1142 01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:45,639 Speaker 1: by the way, the whole thing of oh we fact 1143 01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,479 Speaker 1: check his lizer. You know, when Trump says something like, 1144 01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 1: you know, this is gonna be the great this is 1145 01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:52,600 Speaker 1: gonna be the greatest night of of you know, of 1146 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:54,920 Speaker 1: all time. Folks, when he's like, you know, giving a 1147 01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,160 Speaker 1: speech an event or something, Oh it's not the greatest 1148 01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:01,559 Speaker 1: note of all time. They think that up too. Literalism 1149 01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,080 Speaker 1: is an important bulwark of our democracy now, right, Oh, 1150 01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:06,800 Speaker 1: he said this, and it really meant that, you know, 1151 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:11,799 Speaker 1: we we get what he's saying. It's not that he's 1152 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:17,920 Speaker 1: taking us intentionally in a direction and then switching directions 1153 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,560 Speaker 1: on issues that are important to us at least I 1154 01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:25,240 Speaker 1: don't mean unless I'm forgetting something, you know, um. But 1155 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 1: but also given how arrayed against him they are, given 1156 01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:31,439 Speaker 1: that he does, you know, he does a little bit 1157 01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:36,160 Speaker 1: of exaggerating. He's infelicitous. I think sometimes with with his words. 1158 01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:38,320 Speaker 1: He does not use an economy of words, that's for sure. 1159 01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:40,559 Speaker 1: But given what they've tried to do to take him 1160 01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 1: down that they haven't succeeded, I think this is throwing 1161 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,200 Speaker 1: the left into something of a panic. I think this 1162 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:50,720 Speaker 1: makes them really worried because what will it mean for 1163 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,640 Speaker 1: them if you have Republicans do very well in the 1164 01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 1: mid terms. Now, not only did we have this this 1165 01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:59,920 Speaker 1: blip of oh, Russia and all these excuses and comy, 1166 01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,719 Speaker 1: what's the excuse gonna be in Republicans win the mid terms? Folks? 1167 01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:05,720 Speaker 1: What are Democrats gonna tell themselves? Then? I mean, you 1168 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: and I can go just go bathe in liberal tears 1169 01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:12,439 Speaker 1: all day. But there is no real excuse that's ready 1170 01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,720 Speaker 1: for them. There's nothing that they'll be able to come 1171 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,479 Speaker 1: up other than what just just keep calling the country racist. 1172 01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:19,960 Speaker 1: Keep telling people who voted for Obama twice but now 1173 01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:21,960 Speaker 1: they vote for Trump because they were disappointed with the 1174 01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:25,320 Speaker 1: policies of obama Ism that they're racist. That's really gonna 1175 01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:31,559 Speaker 1: win hearts and minds. They've just got nothing, and they 1176 01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:34,360 Speaker 1: refuse to really look at the underlying truths here, which 1177 01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 1: is one The Democrat Party, and this is something we've 1178 01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:39,280 Speaker 1: been talking about, particularly today on the show, is a 1179 01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:42,559 Speaker 1: far left party. Now the the notion of it as 1180 01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:45,679 Speaker 1: a centrist technocratic party as a joke. It's a joke. 1181 01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,800 Speaker 1: What a Democrats stand for? Well, you could say they 1182 01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:54,360 Speaker 1: stand for these They stand for concepts, and they use 1183 01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,240 Speaker 1: that in order to gain recruits. And they've also got 1184 01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,519 Speaker 1: a lot of social cash a right. But the concepts 1185 01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,640 Speaker 1: are you know, equality and helping the poor. These are 1186 01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:04,800 Speaker 1: things and you go, oh, buck those also. That sounds good, right, 1187 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,960 Speaker 1: that sounds good. Okay, how does that work in practice? Oh, 1188 01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:09,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna have this the force. You're going to use 1189 01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:11,720 Speaker 1: the force of the state to seize property from some 1190 01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,920 Speaker 1: people to give it to others. It's worked, wonders for Venezuela. 1191 01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:19,400 Speaker 1: This is not a good idea, folks. Their ideas are bad. Uh. 1192 01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 1: The the progressive left hasn't had a good idea in 1193 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,720 Speaker 1: this country in in a while. Uh. And I think 1194 01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,400 Speaker 1: that's really what the problem is. Now, what are they 1195 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,439 Speaker 1: promoting in opposition to Trump? What are they saying that 1196 01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,120 Speaker 1: they what would they do for the country better than 1197 01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,840 Speaker 1: what Trump is currently doing for the country. And I 1198 01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:37,360 Speaker 1: just don't think they have an answer. So, I mean, 1199 01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:40,120 Speaker 1: Chuck Todd, as much as I think he's yeah, he 1200 01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:43,479 Speaker 1: falls in that category of pretending to be just a 1201 01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,280 Speaker 1: journalist when in reality, you know, he's a Democrat. Okay, 1202 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,639 Speaker 1: just a journalist, but happens to be a Democrat pushing 1203 01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,840 Speaker 1: a Democrat narrative all the time. But at least he 1204 01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:53,719 Speaker 1: sees this for what it is, which is that there 1205 01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:58,559 Speaker 1: their efforts to stop Trump and their efforts to bring 1206 01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:03,080 Speaker 1: down this administration have not only failed. Trump is popular 1207 01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:06,320 Speaker 1: with they say he's unpopular. That's naturally, but all presidents 1208 01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,439 Speaker 1: are like in the forties in America, because we're just like, oh, yeah, 1209 01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,640 Speaker 1: we blame that guy. Right, but we just need to 1210 01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:17,400 Speaker 1: hang on, folks. I ain't mad. Terms uh would be sweet. 1211 01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:24,280 Speaker 1: I have a feeling buck Sexton remssion decoding the news 1212 01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:31,280 Speaker 1: and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, 1213 01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:35,800 Speaker 1: you're a great American again. This is the buck Sexton Show. 1214 01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:43,240 Speaker 1: Thoma CIA analysts. No, we don't back down on the 1215 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,400 Speaker 1: tariffan No. I look, we're in for you know, we 1216 01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:50,040 Speaker 1: put in two hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of product. 1217 01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:54,200 Speaker 1: The tariffs are infected could go up to five hundred. Frankly, 1218 01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,439 Speaker 1: if we don't make a deal and they want to 1219 01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:58,200 Speaker 1: make a deal, I will tell you China wants to 1220 01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:00,360 Speaker 1: make a deal, and so do I. But it's got 1221 01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:01,960 Speaker 1: to be a fair deal for this country. One of 1222 01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:05,679 Speaker 1: the hard things is our presidents and our business leaders. 1223 01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:10,160 Speaker 1: They were missing in action. The European Union is possibly 1224 01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:13,720 Speaker 1: as bad as China, just smaller. Okay, it's terrible what 1225 01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,280 Speaker 1: they do to us. European Union. Take a look at 1226 01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 1: the car situation. They send the Mercedes in we can't 1227 01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:21,639 Speaker 1: send our cars. And look what they do to our farmers. 1228 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:23,840 Speaker 1: They don't want our farm products an all fairness, they 1229 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,519 Speaker 1: have their farmers. So they want to protect their farmers, 1230 01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,679 Speaker 1: but we don't protect ours and they protect theirs. We've 1231 01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:33,200 Speaker 1: been very nice to Canada for many years um and 1232 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:37,479 Speaker 1: they've taken advantage of that, uh, particularly advantage of our farmers. 1233 01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:40,360 Speaker 1: And at the G seven the President actually proposed that 1234 01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 1: they get rid of all tariffs and drop all barriers 1235 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 1: and have a really great trade and they refuse that. 1236 01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:50,600 Speaker 1: And escalating tariffs against the United States does nothing to 1237 01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:54,400 Speaker 1: help Canada and it only hurts American workers. The President 1238 01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:56,720 Speaker 1: is working to fix the broken system and he's going 1239 01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:00,320 Speaker 1: to continue pushing for that. This is going to be 1240 01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:05,719 Speaker 1: a defining issue for the Trump presidency. This is also 1241 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:10,280 Speaker 1: going to be where you're gonna see, I think some 1242 01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:16,639 Speaker 1: of the most unexpected success with the Trump administration. Or rather, 1243 01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,320 Speaker 1: this is where the conventional wisdom is likely to be 1244 01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:24,160 Speaker 1: proven wrong once again when it comes to an issue 1245 01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:29,439 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump has become fiery on, become attached to 1246 01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:33,320 Speaker 1: that that he wants to solve. Now I understand that 1247 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,559 Speaker 1: this Friday, I believe it is, there's going to be 1248 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:39,479 Speaker 1: some tariffs that go into effect visa via China. It's 1249 01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 1: gonna be something that people look at as the as 1250 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:48,799 Speaker 1: a possible. Yeah, fifty billion dollars of Chinese products starting 1251 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:53,960 Speaker 1: this Friday teriff on them. Now that's a fraction of 1252 01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:59,920 Speaker 1: just overall US China trade. Let's understand that. And we also, 1253 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:04,080 Speaker 1: I think have finally come around to the recognition that 1254 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:07,559 Speaker 1: we do that to say free trade, I like free 1255 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,839 Speaker 1: trade is meaningless because trade right now is not free. 1256 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:16,760 Speaker 1: Countries are gaming the system. Countries are using every means, 1257 01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:21,920 Speaker 1: every mechanism at their disposal in order to try and 1258 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:27,320 Speaker 1: help their own domestic industries to engage in, you know, what, 1259 01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 1: what they view as best for their people. Right The 1260 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:34,280 Speaker 1: EU does not have does not have the tariffs on 1261 01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:39,519 Speaker 1: or even total block on US import of certain meat products, 1262 01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:43,799 Speaker 1: for example, because they're really worried about contamination or GMOs 1263 01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 1: or whatever. That's not why they're doing it. They're doing 1264 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:49,559 Speaker 1: because I think it's better for their own domestic meat 1265 01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:52,640 Speaker 1: producers as a total. Aside. By the way, there's a 1266 01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:58,160 Speaker 1: real problem now with French vegan terrorists, which is something 1267 01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:00,519 Speaker 1: that I think I'll have to address on the Freedom 1268 01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:04,080 Speaker 1: Hut podcast this week. But these vegan terroriffs are going nuts, 1269 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:05,400 Speaker 1: and I just always want to say, you know what 1270 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:08,520 Speaker 1: you do if you see a vegan terrorist Feediam cheeseburger, 1271 01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:12,080 Speaker 1: and he won't be a vegan anymore. Problem solved. But 1272 01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,240 Speaker 1: the EU has these things in place because they think 1273 01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:16,960 Speaker 1: it's best for them. The same with China. China's GDP 1274 01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:19,559 Speaker 1: has taken off like a rocket ship since the eighties. 1275 01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:25,000 Speaker 1: Lots of tariffs, lots of predatory trade practices. Trump is 1276 01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:27,120 Speaker 1: not saying I just want to put tariffs in place, 1277 01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:30,400 Speaker 1: because tariffs sound like faun He is coming out and saying, 1278 01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:34,080 Speaker 1: hold on a second. We need to be in a 1279 01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:38,599 Speaker 1: situation where other countries play fair with us, where other 1280 01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 1: countries are going to respect that we have our own 1281 01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:47,120 Speaker 1: economic interests, and that means a willingness to go to 1282 01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:50,320 Speaker 1: the mat on some of this stuff and push back. 1283 01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:53,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's so fascinating, it really is. The 1284 01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:58,040 Speaker 1: the elevation of the internationalist obama Is point of view 1285 01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:01,040 Speaker 1: on these things, where it's just agreement becomes its own end. 1286 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,120 Speaker 1: We would just need to find a way to all 1287 01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,360 Speaker 1: agree on something and then that's great, right, Oh, everyone's 1288 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,840 Speaker 1: gonna like this together. Well, you know, it's a multilateral 1289 01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:12,840 Speaker 1: trade deal. What could go wrong? I keep telling people 1290 01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,679 Speaker 1: that anyone will listen people who get mad at Trump 1291 01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:20,840 Speaker 1: for abolishing NAFTA. NAPTA existed before the Internet. I mean 1292 01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:23,519 Speaker 1: NAFTA was created before the Internet. Think about how much 1293 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:29,080 Speaker 1: commerce has changed, and any revisiting of a massive trade 1294 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:32,559 Speaker 1: agreement that clearly affects American jobs and workers is something 1295 01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,840 Speaker 1: to be afraid of. I just don't get it. I 1296 01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 1: think that a lot of this is driven by a 1297 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,920 Speaker 1: sense that you know, well, one of course Trump hatreot, 1298 01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:46,880 Speaker 1: people hate Trump, but also things are good right now 1299 01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,439 Speaker 1: and people don't want to mess that up. And I 1300 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:52,639 Speaker 1: think Trump feels very strongly about this too. He doesn't 1301 01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:55,800 Speaker 1: want to mess things up. Economy is really strong, Unemployment 1302 01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,519 Speaker 1: is really low. The Democrats got nothing. They don't have 1303 01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,679 Speaker 1: a pray air of a blue wave in the fall. 1304 01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,040 Speaker 1: If if the election were held tomorrow, my friends, I 1305 01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,519 Speaker 1: think we're all quite clear. I think Republicans would gain 1306 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:11,800 Speaker 1: seats House, hand Senate if it were held tomorrow. The 1307 01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,959 Speaker 1: only way that really changes is if there's major disruption 1308 01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,639 Speaker 1: to economy. So I understand the need for caution here. 1309 01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:21,360 Speaker 1: I would add this though, to our conversation. If you're 1310 01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,479 Speaker 1: going to do something about trade and trade and balance 1311 01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:28,519 Speaker 1: long term, if you are going to get China to 1312 01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:33,120 Speaker 1: stop some of its predatory practices and behaviors. Then you 1313 01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:35,400 Speaker 1: need to do it from a position of strength, and 1314 01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:38,040 Speaker 1: you need to be willing to take action when you 1315 01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:41,519 Speaker 1: can afford some disruption. What I mean by this is 1316 01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:47,240 Speaker 1: stock market dips maybe right, you know s and p 1317 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:49,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden crashes out. You've got a lot 1318 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:52,200 Speaker 1: of unemployment surges. Do you think anyone's gonna want to 1319 01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:56,080 Speaker 1: risk any trade disruption? Then you think, and you think 1320 01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:58,400 Speaker 1: they'll be the political will to engage in the kind 1321 01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:01,120 Speaker 1: of brinksmanship, because that's what this is is this is 1322 01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:03,760 Speaker 1: a game of chicken. Trump is playing chicken with the 1323 01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,160 Speaker 1: EU and chicken with China. Now we got the biggest, 1324 01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:09,120 Speaker 1: baddest car on the road. And in the past with 1325 01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:11,880 Speaker 1: the Obama team and people before him as well, the 1326 01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,120 Speaker 1: idea was, oh, well, no, we just we don't want 1327 01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,760 Speaker 1: to We don't want to scare you into driving off 1328 01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:18,840 Speaker 1: the road. So we'll just what do you want and 1329 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:20,680 Speaker 1: we'll pull off the road. You can win our game 1330 01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:24,960 Speaker 1: of chicken, so to speak. That was the approach. Approach 1331 01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:28,040 Speaker 1: is very different. Now is it gonna work? I can't 1332 01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 1: tell you it's gonna work. You know, maybe China is 1333 01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:35,000 Speaker 1: absolutely hell bent on keeping things the way they are, 1334 01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,800 Speaker 1: even if it means that they're gonna you know, I 1335 01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:40,160 Speaker 1: don't know. One of the problems you have in any 1336 01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:43,519 Speaker 1: negotiation is that your opponent is not necessarily smart or rational. 1337 01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:48,880 Speaker 1: I think the Chinese government is rational in many ways. 1338 01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:51,960 Speaker 1: I do think the government is smart in many ways. 1339 01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:55,240 Speaker 1: But they also have a different long term outlook than 1340 01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,400 Speaker 1: we do, right, I mean, do they really want shared 1341 01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,639 Speaker 1: global prosperity or is it just China at all costs 1342 01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:01,719 Speaker 1: that everyone else's expense. I'm not sure how to answer 1343 01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:04,400 Speaker 1: that question, and I think a lot of people would 1344 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:07,360 Speaker 1: have to think long and hard about it before they did. 1345 01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:11,479 Speaker 1: But Trump has the capital now, and the economy has 1346 01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:15,839 Speaker 1: the leeway now to absorb some some disruptions. The economy 1347 01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:18,559 Speaker 1: has the ability now to take some take some heat 1348 01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:22,080 Speaker 1: and not have everyone freak out because there's gonna be 1349 01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:24,000 Speaker 1: some rough days. I mean, you know, if this thing 1350 01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,800 Speaker 1: goes into effect on Friday, yes, stock market is probably 1351 01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:28,280 Speaker 1: gonna take a hit. Your four oh one came, I 1352 01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:30,360 Speaker 1: take a little hit. You might see a little bit 1353 01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:32,559 Speaker 1: of a pullback in the jobs numbers or something. And 1354 01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:35,360 Speaker 1: but this is all for a purpose, and Trump thinks 1355 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:36,760 Speaker 1: we can get there. I don't know if we can, 1356 01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 1: but he thinks we can, and that purpose is okay. 1357 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,559 Speaker 1: China decides, you know what, we're gonna pull back our 1358 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:45,760 Speaker 1: tariffs too, and we're going to start negotiating in good 1359 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,840 Speaker 1: faith on issues of trade with the United States. And 1360 01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:50,559 Speaker 1: what would that do? What would that do for us? 1361 01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,400 Speaker 1: What would that do for China? Sometimes, trying to get 1362 01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:55,599 Speaker 1: to a better future, you've gotta push through some tough times. 1363 01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: I think that's a very simple but important way to 1364 01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:00,759 Speaker 1: look at what's going on here with trade. If Trump 1365 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:03,320 Speaker 1: is wrong, if this thing blows up in our faces, 1366 01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:06,400 Speaker 1: I assure you, we'll come on the show and we'll 1367 01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:08,840 Speaker 1: talk about it. We'll deal with it. But I think 1368 01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:10,519 Speaker 1: Trump's are in the leeway that we gotta give him 1369 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,040 Speaker 1: a chance on this one. He is all in. Let's 1370 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,880 Speaker 1: see how the Donald does. We'll be right back. Summertime 1371 01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:19,040 Speaker 1: it's always a good time to get yourself some new gear. 1372 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,320 Speaker 1: I've got an idea for you.

For years now, I 1388 01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:41,800 Speaker 1: have watched as the left has devolved into intolerant, inflexible, illogical, hateful, misguided, 1389 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:47,160 Speaker 1: I'll inform un American, hypocritical menacing callous, ignorance, narrow minded, 1390 01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:51,800 Speaker 1: and at times blatantly fascistic behavior and rhetoric. Liberalism has 1391 01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,600 Speaker 1: been co opted and absorbed by the very characteristics that 1392 01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:57,479 Speaker 1: claims to fight against. For years now, I've watched as 1393 01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,880 Speaker 1: people on the left have become innestetized to their own 1394 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,479 Speaker 1: prejudices and bigotry and the prejudices and bigotry of those 1395 01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,680 Speaker 1: around them who echo their values. I have watched this. 1396 01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:10,400 Speaker 1: Formerly sensible people who claim to reject racism have come 1397 01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,720 Speaker 1: to embrace the principles of universally hating and blaming all 1398 01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:17,360 Speaker 1: of society's problems on all people who have white skin. 1399 01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,519 Speaker 1: In an effort to gain voters and maintain power, the 1400 01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:23,960 Speaker 1: Democratic Party that I once loved has joined forces with 1401 01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:27,280 Speaker 1: the extremists left. The Democratic Party in the liberal media 1402 01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:30,520 Speaker 1: now believe their own ill gotten conclusions and have ominously 1403 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,680 Speaker 1: decided that they and only they know the remedy for 1404 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,439 Speaker 1: societies ills. The left has decided that the solution to 1405 01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:41,479 Speaker 1: problems with race relations in America is more racism. The 1406 01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:45,000 Speaker 1: left believes that attacking, insulting, into humanizing one group of 1407 01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:48,479 Speaker 1: people elevates another. The left now believes that there are 1408 01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:52,160 Speaker 1: no boundaries when telling lies, omitting the truth, or misrepresenting 1409 01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:56,519 Speaker 1: facts when telling the news, because their end justifies their means. 1410 01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:01,280 Speaker 1: So that is from the the video that has now 1411 01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:05,600 Speaker 1: become something of a viral sensation and lead to the 1412 01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:10,439 Speaker 1: hashtag walk away movement, which is a video of those. 1413 01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:16,080 Speaker 1: It's about renouncing liberalism. Video created in late in May, 1414 01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:18,439 Speaker 1: so it's kind of been gaining steam over last month 1415 01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:23,240 Speaker 1: or so by Brandon Straka, who is a hairdresser and 1416 01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:27,479 Speaker 1: aspiring actor. So this guy made a video about leaving 1417 01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:31,360 Speaker 1: liberalism and it is going viral and now people are saying, 1418 01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:33,080 Speaker 1: and I was asked about this last week, and to 1419 01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,840 Speaker 1: be honest with you, as I always am, I didn't 1420 01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,439 Speaker 1: know anything about this. So I, as I say, I will, 1421 01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:42,160 Speaker 1: I went and checked this out. And now I see 1422 01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:45,160 Speaker 1: that this is something that's, you know, getting a lot 1423 01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:46,799 Speaker 1: of a lot of attention from a lot of folks. 1424 01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:51,840 Speaker 1: People are very interested in this notion of walk away, 1425 01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:53,760 Speaker 1: and we're by the way, we're gonna get the the 1426 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:56,240 Speaker 1: other side of it, which is people who pretend to 1427 01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 1: be one thing and they're not. That will happen in 1428 01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:00,400 Speaker 1: a moment with Jennifer Ruben on the wash and Post, 1429 01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:06,519 Speaker 1: who's just just disgraceful, completely and utterly appalling the way 1430 01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:09,519 Speaker 1: that she writes what she says not a not an 1431 01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,439 Speaker 1: ounce of integrity in that woman. But I'll get to that. 1432 01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:15,320 Speaker 1: Washington Post loves her, of course, right because you know, 1433 01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:18,439 Speaker 1: putting a bad conservative on air, even if they're if 1434 01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:21,640 Speaker 1: they're bashing conservatives, great, But even if they just look clownish, 1435 01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:26,160 Speaker 1: even that that's good too. But back to walk Away. Here, 1436 01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,960 Speaker 1: this guy is talking about how he, you know, the 1437 01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:32,120 Speaker 1: Democratic Party doesn't stand for what he thought it stands for. 1438 01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:36,000 Speaker 1: And you know he's hoping for a People are saying 1439 01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:38,120 Speaker 1: this may help him. Who knows hoping for a blue 1440 01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,760 Speaker 1: um or rather a red wave in November instead of 1441 01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:45,160 Speaker 1: a blue wave. You know, I gotta tell you that 1442 01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:49,679 Speaker 1: these these meme based political movements tend not to last 1443 01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:53,680 Speaker 1: all that long. Here's the truth of it. Um. Conservatives 1444 01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:56,519 Speaker 1: are always happy when somebody comes over to our side, 1445 01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,519 Speaker 1: and we don't make them debase all their ideology of 1446 01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,439 Speaker 1: the past. We don't. We don't make them, We don't 1447 01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:03,200 Speaker 1: break them over the coals, and I'll make them walk 1448 01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:06,960 Speaker 1: through broken glass. If you want to be on the 1449 01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:10,880 Speaker 1: right and be in the right, you're welcome. We we 1450 01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:13,920 Speaker 1: we are looking for converts. We are not hunting for heretics. 1451 01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:20,640 Speaker 1: That's a very important distinction between modern liberalism and modern conservatism. 1452 01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:26,559 Speaker 1: And I think that this attempt to use social media 1453 01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:29,960 Speaker 1: and pop culture to reach folks and tell them that 1454 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:31,680 Speaker 1: it is okay. You know, you you don't have to 1455 01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:34,360 Speaker 1: believe there are thirty seven genders. You really don't have to. 1456 01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:39,280 Speaker 1: You don't have to believe that climate change is the 1457 01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 1: most imminent national security threat that faces this country. I mean, 1458 01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:44,840 Speaker 1: those are things that you could only believe if you 1459 01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:49,200 Speaker 1: had been brainwashed and indoctrinated. And no normal rational person 1460 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,479 Speaker 1: would think those things. Left to his or her own devices, 1461 01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:55,120 Speaker 1: no one's gonna think there's thirty seven genders. No one's 1462 01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:56,760 Speaker 1: gonna think the world's gonna end because of c O 1463 01:28:56,840 --> 01:29:03,400 Speaker 1: two in the air. Right, So it's okay, we want, oh, 1464 01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:06,640 Speaker 1: we want people to come over to our side. And 1465 01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,960 Speaker 1: as to the effectiveness of and by the way, that's 1466 01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:12,000 Speaker 1: one of the missions that I'm engaged in now. I mean, 1467 01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:16,000 Speaker 1: I try, and I try, and at least I'm trying 1468 01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:21,080 Speaker 1: on my show rising each day to make Crystal see 1469 01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:24,240 Speaker 1: my side as it is. It was a really interesting 1470 01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:28,040 Speaker 1: study that came out recently in which, you know, is 1471 01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:31,240 Speaker 1: a a blog that does a lot of metrics and 1472 01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,960 Speaker 1: engages UH sentiment and you know, it's it's really a 1473 01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:38,360 Speaker 1: polling side made famous by Nate Silver. But it was 1474 01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:43,400 Speaker 1: fascinating the number of people who were of the impression, 1475 01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:49,160 Speaker 1: uh that can well on the left. On the left, 1476 01:29:50,120 --> 01:29:57,160 Speaker 1: they think that if you're a conservative, you make over 1477 01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:59,560 Speaker 1: two and fifty dollars a year. Meanwhile, about two p 1478 01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,439 Speaker 1: of conservatives, you know, they thought something like, you know, 1479 01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:06,920 Speaker 1: thirty or some huge number. So the left has been 1480 01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:13,280 Speaker 1: brainwashed into thinking that the um that that conservatives are 1481 01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:15,400 Speaker 1: rich and we're the party of Wall Street where the 1482 01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:17,080 Speaker 1: fat cat party you want. We're just the party of 1483 01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:18,760 Speaker 1: like working and trying to keep enough money to pay 1484 01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,679 Speaker 1: your bills. We're just the party of wanting to pay 1485 01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:24,080 Speaker 1: the mortgage and raise a family and not feel like 1486 01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:26,680 Speaker 1: the government is completely emptying out your pockets all the 1487 01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:29,400 Speaker 1: time to pay for illegals, to pay for you know, 1488 01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:34,160 Speaker 1: the massive welfare stay, to pay for all kinds of stuff. Right. So, 1489 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:38,840 Speaker 1: and then the study also said that conservatives are of 1490 01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:43,280 Speaker 1: the mind that liberals are there though there's a much 1491 01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 1: greater percentage of liberals who fall in the LGBT community, 1492 01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:48,599 Speaker 1: essentially liberals. There are many more liberals who are gay 1493 01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:51,920 Speaker 1: and lesbian, uh than is actually reflecting the population. I 1494 01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:55,599 Speaker 1: think according to this five thirty study, we thought we 1495 01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:59,720 Speaker 1: conservatives thought it was and in reality. It was like, 1496 01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:04,840 Speaker 1: that's what the reality is. But I would respond to 1497 01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:07,920 Speaker 1: that with, well, that's because on the left that's raised 1498 01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:11,759 Speaker 1: to such a big issue, gender identity issues, gender equality issues. 1499 01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:15,599 Speaker 1: These are talked about as being massively important issues that 1500 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,559 Speaker 1: need a tremendous amount of focus, and there's all these 1501 01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:20,960 Speaker 1: hurdles that must still be overcoming. A lot of us 1502 01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:22,840 Speaker 1: look at this and say, well, there must be something 1503 01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,000 Speaker 1: we're missing. You know, there must be a lot more 1504 01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:28,000 Speaker 1: transgender folks than I thought, because we spend a lot 1505 01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:30,879 Speaker 1: of time talking about the transgender community. Turns out, transgender 1506 01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:33,920 Speaker 1: communities less than one percent of the population, right, But 1507 01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,240 Speaker 1: there must be a lot of them because the left 1508 01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:40,160 Speaker 1: talks about it all the time. Oh no, it's for 1509 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:43,280 Speaker 1: largely political reasons that they do, but that they think 1510 01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:47,040 Speaker 1: that we are rich or very well off overwhelming. It 1511 01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:48,880 Speaker 1: just goes to show you that one a lot of 1512 01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 1: liberals don't really know any conservatives, which is troubling, and two, 1513 01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:54,639 Speaker 1: they certainly don't know why we believe what we believe. 1514 01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:57,400 Speaker 1: And this is why I get to the what I'm 1515 01:31:57,400 --> 01:31:59,639 Speaker 1: doing on Rising every morning. I'm trying to make Crystal 1516 01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:02,040 Speaker 1: and therefore anybody because she brings her own audience to 1517 01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:04,400 Speaker 1: this Right, there are progressives will watch that show. I 1518 01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:07,599 Speaker 1: won't want them to have a better understanding of what 1519 01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:10,000 Speaker 1: our side thinks. I am hoping that I will get 1520 01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:14,640 Speaker 1: an email at some point in time that someone who 1521 01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:17,360 Speaker 1: was a progressive when they started watching that show, or 1522 01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:19,559 Speaker 1: maybe who listens to this radio show too. I have 1523 01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:22,559 Speaker 1: liberals who listen to this show. I have never made 1524 01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:25,040 Speaker 1: a liberal convert on this show that I know that 1525 01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:26,679 Speaker 1: I know of yet that has come out and said 1526 01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:29,080 Speaker 1: you converted me. I do have liberals, though, and let's say, 1527 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:30,600 Speaker 1: you know, I think you're smart and I appreciate what 1528 01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,720 Speaker 1: you do, even though I I don't agree with you. 1529 01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:37,040 Speaker 1: But I am hoping that on Rising, which is hill 1530 01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:39,680 Speaker 1: dot TV slash Rising Thills, you wanna watch it, I 1531 01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:42,320 Speaker 1: will make a full on conversion of somebody, brings somebody 1532 01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:44,680 Speaker 1: over from being a progressive to being a conservative. It's 1533 01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:46,680 Speaker 1: gonna take it. I've all been to the year three weeks, right, 1534 01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:49,160 Speaker 1: It's gonna take six months. But I think I'll get there, 1535 01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:51,439 Speaker 1: and that's what I'm trying to do. I don't really 1536 01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:53,720 Speaker 1: know if it's possible, don't really know if it's a 1537 01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:56,800 Speaker 1: fool's errand and that's why. And I'll tell you this. 1538 01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:58,719 Speaker 1: The only I only agree to do that TV show 1539 01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:03,960 Speaker 1: if it was understood it that my radio show is sacred, untouched, unchanged. 1540 01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm in charge. No one touches this. This is a 1541 01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:08,760 Speaker 1: totally separate entity, and it's just me, Premiere Networks, and 1542 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:12,360 Speaker 1: all of you. And that's so that was a ironclad 1543 01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:13,920 Speaker 1: and that is the case. Right, So I don't think 1544 01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:17,400 Speaker 1: this show never changes. Um wondering if I can make 1545 01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:20,320 Speaker 1: the other show work with what I'm trying to do, 1546 01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:23,040 Speaker 1: which is to bring over some converts and explain to 1547 01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:24,800 Speaker 1: the other side why we think what we think because 1548 01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:28,439 Speaker 1: we're right. We're right. So that's my version of of 1549 01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:32,200 Speaker 1: hashtag walk away. What I'm doing on Rising each morning, 1550 01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 1: on on this show on hill Dot TV, that is 1551 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:38,879 Speaker 1: my version of the walk away meme. I want liberals 1552 01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:41,519 Speaker 1: because remember I gotta I've got a far left progressive 1553 01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:45,080 Speaker 1: co host with a with a considerable following. I want 1554 01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:47,720 Speaker 1: some of her people to see the world the way 1555 01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:49,960 Speaker 1: I see understand why I see the world way way 1556 01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:52,360 Speaker 1: I do, and you as well, why you see it 1557 01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:55,280 Speaker 1: that way, and they'll come join our team. And that 1558 01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:58,160 Speaker 1: to me is real success. Anybody can just yell and 1559 01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:00,679 Speaker 1: scream and talk about how crappy the other side these days, 1560 01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:04,640 Speaker 1: and anyone can slice and dice them, although not as 1561 01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:07,160 Speaker 1: well as we do here in the Hut. We'll be 1562 01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:22,519 Speaker 1: right there. He's back with you now, because when it 1563 01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:25,799 Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. 1564 01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:32,599 Speaker 1: Fake news and enemy of the people. I would suggest 1565 01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:35,599 Speaker 1: one of two things. Either the entire press corps walk 1566 01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:38,360 Speaker 1: out of the briefing room. Why should they put on 1567 01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:41,599 Speaker 1: air a message that is a coded word to every 1568 01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:44,519 Speaker 1: nutcase in America to come after them, so get up 1569 01:34:44,520 --> 01:34:48,559 Speaker 1: and leave, or in unison, holler back. They sit there, 1570 01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:51,679 Speaker 1: they take it, they recorded. We have to be there. 1571 01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:55,320 Speaker 1: We have to let them say their peace. No, you 1572 01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:59,360 Speaker 1: don't um. Your lives are all in danger. Your lives 1573 01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:01,280 Speaker 1: are on the line. We're not going to let these 1574 01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:04,679 Speaker 1: people go through life unscathed. Sarah Huckaby has no right 1575 01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:07,800 Speaker 1: to live a life of no fuss, no muss, after 1576 01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:11,559 Speaker 1: lying to the press, after inciting against the press. These 1577 01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:14,360 Speaker 1: people should be made uncomfortable. And I think that's a 1578 01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:19,520 Speaker 1: life sentence. Frankly, that's supposed to be a conservative everybody. 1579 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:24,920 Speaker 1: According to Washington Post at least, that is Jennifer Rubin, 1580 01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:31,320 Speaker 1: who exists only to antagonize people that she pretends to 1581 01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:37,520 Speaker 1: be fighting alongside. Ideologically, she is a trojan horse conservative. 1582 01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:40,920 Speaker 1: I've talked about them for a long time. The mainstream media, 1583 01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:44,519 Speaker 1: the fake news love to use these people because they're 1584 01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:49,439 Speaker 1: such They think effective propaganda tools against their ideological enemies. 1585 01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:52,400 Speaker 1: You see, to have a defect or from the right 1586 01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:58,360 Speaker 1: is oh so much more fantastic, Uh, is owe so 1587 01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:00,759 Speaker 1: much more fantastic for their purposes, is than to actually 1588 01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:03,439 Speaker 1: have somebody who has to make a fair and honest 1589 01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:08,240 Speaker 1: argument about why conservatism is wrong. And Reuben though, on 1590 01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:11,479 Speaker 1: this issue in particular, it's just a nutcase saying that 1591 01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:16,080 Speaker 1: a life sentence of making Sarah Sanders uncomfortable is something 1592 01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:19,400 Speaker 1: that this is somebody who says she's a conservative, she 1593 01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:22,400 Speaker 1: would advocate for. That just goes to show you that 1594 01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:25,519 Speaker 1: there is no there is no decency anymore, there is 1595 01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:30,080 Speaker 1: no morality anymore. There's only anti Trumpism and uh and 1596 01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:32,479 Speaker 1: she continues, she goes a bit further on this. This 1597 01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:36,920 Speaker 1: is again the Washington Posts favorite conservative columns. She has 1598 01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:39,679 Speaker 1: a blog They're called right Turn at the Washington Post. 1599 01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:41,400 Speaker 1: Here's what she has to say about the Supreme Court 1600 01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:46,200 Speaker 1: and abortion play five. Ms Collins and Ms Murkowski. The 1601 01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:51,200 Speaker 1: two women Republicans um that they will be held responsible. 1602 01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:54,360 Speaker 1: They are doing the dance. They are pretending that because 1603 01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:57,920 Speaker 1: nominee says this is all about president, that they can 1604 01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:01,479 Speaker 1: vote for him. No, the message to those two women, 1605 01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:05,400 Speaker 1: by Democrats, by pro choice women in those two states, 1606 01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:09,240 Speaker 1: by the entire states of Maine and Alaska, has to 1607 01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:13,800 Speaker 1: be simple. You vote for this Ms Collins, Ms Murkowski, 1608 01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:17,519 Speaker 1: you have voted to criminalize abortion. This is on you, 1609 01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:20,679 Speaker 1: and we're not going to accept these nonsense excuses that well, 1610 01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:23,840 Speaker 1: because he said he was in favor of presidentis won't 1611 01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:26,559 Speaker 1: count you can vote for him. No, it has to 1612 01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:30,360 Speaker 1: be all out on the ground in those states. Those 1613 01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:34,799 Speaker 1: women have to be put under a glaring light um, 1614 01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:37,760 Speaker 1: so that they finally have to make a choice that 1615 01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:40,600 Speaker 1: actually does go against their party, unless they were just 1616 01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:44,120 Speaker 1: phony pro choice women all along, which is distinctly possible. 1617 01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:48,639 Speaker 1: Phony Huh, you mean like writing under the vine line 1618 01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:50,679 Speaker 1: of being on the right when you are in fact 1619 01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:54,479 Speaker 1: a trojan horse operating for the other side. She's the 1620 01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:58,680 Speaker 1: equivalent of an ideological spy. Right she pretends to be 1621 01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:01,040 Speaker 1: on our side of the aisle, so she can just 1622 01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:03,160 Speaker 1: get as much information as she can, and she can 1623 01:38:03,280 --> 01:38:05,880 Speaker 1: she can fight in our uniform, right this is it 1624 01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:09,759 Speaker 1: reminds me of an Afghanistan. You know, you'll have uh 1625 01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:13,160 Speaker 1: green on blue violands where you of somebody who is 1626 01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:15,799 Speaker 1: you know, like Afghan military who were an Afgan military 1627 01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:18,559 Speaker 1: uniform or sometimes is Afghan military, and we'll try to 1628 01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:21,040 Speaker 1: take out and sometimes does take out some of our guys. 1629 01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:23,759 Speaker 1: You know, she's like that. I mean, she's not a 1630 01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:26,120 Speaker 1: a Trump Conservative, but she's not a conservative at all. 1631 01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:29,160 Speaker 1: She's not a Republican at all. She is fight actively 1632 01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:31,400 Speaker 1: fighting for the other side. And that the Washington Post 1633 01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:34,400 Speaker 1: still holds her up as a conservative is an embarrassment. 1634 01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:36,240 Speaker 1: I mean they should be embarrassed, but I think they're 1635 01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:41,799 Speaker 1: incapable of embarrassment. Uh, it's atrocious. There's no attempt at honesty, 1636 01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:44,960 Speaker 1: there's no intellectual integrity unless whatsoever. And I mean to 1637 01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,840 Speaker 1: have somebody on the right these days who is advocating 1638 01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:52,120 Speaker 1: not just for abortion, which this woman is, which Jennifer 1639 01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:53,880 Speaker 1: Rubin is, I mean she may be that she in 1640 01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:56,959 Speaker 1: some ways, she may be the most dishonest calumnist in America. 1641 01:38:57,800 --> 01:38:59,920 Speaker 1: My friend Charles Cooke over at National Review. If you 1642 01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:02,720 Speaker 1: haven't seen it, just did a I mean it is. 1643 01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:06,200 Speaker 1: It is truly an epic takedown, and people use that 1644 01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:08,680 Speaker 1: and it wasn't mean or nasty. It was just she 1645 01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:10,880 Speaker 1: wrote this a year ago. This is what she writes now. 1646 01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:13,000 Speaker 1: She wrote this eighteen months ago, this is what she 1647 01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:17,920 Speaker 1: writes now. A woman has no ideological core, no principles, nothing, 1648 01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:20,920 Speaker 1: but that makes her effective for the left, don't you see, 1649 01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:23,880 Speaker 1: Because the fact that she's such a disaster and only 1650 01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:27,519 Speaker 1: attacks her own makes her the perfect conservative in the 1651 01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:29,080 Speaker 1: eyes of the Washington Post. And this is the best 1652 01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:31,360 Speaker 1: they can do. I'm sure they pay her real money 1653 01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:33,599 Speaker 1: to write a blog or write her columns over there. 1654 01:39:33,640 --> 01:39:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure they pay her pretty well, the Washington Post, 1655 01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:38,080 Speaker 1: and they got that Bezos money. This is why I 1656 01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:39,720 Speaker 1: just don't want to hear the Washington Post, the New 1657 01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:42,559 Speaker 1: York Times. They're not just revered papers that are doing 1658 01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:45,479 Speaker 1: their best to prevent the facts. They are propaganda organs. 1659 01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:48,400 Speaker 1: There's a lot of lyne going on on a on 1660 01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:51,160 Speaker 1: a regular basis at these organizations. I don't mean about 1661 01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:54,240 Speaker 1: the facts, I mean about editorial bent. I mean about 1662 01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:57,000 Speaker 1: the way they construct the narrative. And then just on 1663 01:39:57,680 --> 01:40:00,800 Speaker 1: anyone who advocates for this harassed Trump administra Asian officials 1664 01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:04,479 Speaker 1: as a means of protest, is somebody that I've got 1665 01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:08,599 Speaker 1: a problem with. Anybody that's really advocating that I want 1666 01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:10,840 Speaker 1: have words with them, because it's completely over the line. 1667 01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:13,439 Speaker 1: All right, we got we got roll call come out 1668 01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:15,920 Speaker 1: up here in just a moment, team, so stick around, 1669 01:40:29,360 --> 01:40:37,960 Speaker 1: rock and roll, fellow patriots.

Let alone 1682 01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:26,120 Speaker 1: orthodontia and tooth bleaching, so they usually don't have perfect 1683 01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:28,840 Speaker 1: teeth like all the actors in the movie.

Next up here 1700 01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:30,920 Speaker 1: we have Caroline, who writes I was viewing the text 1701 01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:33,880 Speaker 1: messages between Peter Struck and Lisa Page, which are re 1702 01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:37,599 Speaker 1: enacted and available in their entirety on YouTube, and was 1703 01:42:37,720 --> 01:42:41,519 Speaker 1: amused to see Lisa Page say that Mitch McConnell reminds 1704 01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,840 Speaker 1: her of a turtle. Regular listeners to your show note 1705 01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:47,479 Speaker 1: that you will also. You have also noted this likeness, 1706 01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:50,880 Speaker 1: calling him yourle the turtle. You and miss Page could 1707 01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:54,519 Speaker 1: not be more ideologically supposed opposed. So if you agree 1708 01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:56,760 Speaker 1: on this one thing, it must be pretty evident Mitch 1709 01:42:56,880 --> 01:43:00,800 Speaker 1: is in fact a turtle. She'll tie well, Carol, I 1710 01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:02,680 Speaker 1: just tease Mitch a little bit. We hope that he 1711 01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:06,160 Speaker 1: comes on Well Radio maybe, but really want to get 1712 01:43:06,240 --> 01:43:09,640 Speaker 1: him on my TV show Hill dot TV Slash Rising. 1713 01:43:10,439 --> 01:43:12,400 Speaker 1: We are hoping to get the majority leader to come 1714 01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:19,840 Speaker 1: and hang out with us. That is the plan, Michael, right. Uh, 1715 01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:23,720 Speaker 1: today's modern gypsies media gypsies are pretty much rootless, and 1716 01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:27,320 Speaker 1: I count myself among them. No place ever felt particularly 1717 01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:29,600 Speaker 1: like home, and I've always lamented that. So that's one 1718 01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:31,280 Speaker 1: of the reason why I missed these old guys who 1719 01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:33,320 Speaker 1: wrote and reported on the place as they called home. 1720 01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:36,439 Speaker 1: Oh look at you. Back to rolled up shirt sleeves 1721 01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:40,360 Speaker 1: with tie slightly Askew Indeed, Michael, Indeed, and yeah, it's 1722 01:43:40,360 --> 01:43:43,559 Speaker 1: true about media these days. Everyone has to bounce all 1723 01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:48,559 Speaker 1: over the place. You only advance your career by making 1724 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:52,439 Speaker 1: your way into bigger markets usually. And if you're gonna 1725 01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:54,880 Speaker 1: just be operating in the digital space, then in a sense, 1726 01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:56,879 Speaker 1: you're in every market. You know, if you're not local, 1727 01:43:57,800 --> 01:43:59,840 Speaker 1: if you're in local news, you gotta keep pushing to 1728 01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:02,960 Speaker 1: it's a bigger and bigger places. If you're in national 1729 01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:06,719 Speaker 1: level digital news, you're competing against everybody else off the bat, 1730 01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:11,840 Speaker 1: and so your local sense sensibility doesn't really matter all true, 1731 01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:15,760 Speaker 1: Keith rights Buck. When are we going to see a 1732 01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:19,719 Speaker 1: direct link to your show in the Hills phone app? Keith, 1733 01:44:19,840 --> 01:44:24,280 Speaker 1: that is a very good question. Um I will find 1734 01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:26,320 Speaker 1: out from our tech team here at the Hill dot com. 1735 01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:29,200 Speaker 1: I do not know, but you ask an important questions, 1736 01:44:29,240 --> 01:44:33,599 Speaker 1: so I will look into it. Thomas writes, swoop here 1737 01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:37,240 Speaker 1: we go, good show today on Rising Buck, Crystal Ball 1738 01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:40,040 Speaker 1: and the louder voices on the left support this insane 1739 01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:44,559 Speaker 1: campaign to abolish ice, using their mantra of caged babies 1740 01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:48,960 Speaker 1: to exaggerate concern. It's a maid to order optics gift 1741 01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:51,880 Speaker 1: for the media. What they failed to discuss is all 1742 01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:54,400 Speaker 1: the activity behind the curtains by ICE to secure this 1743 01:44:54,439 --> 01:44:59,040 Speaker 1: country from terrorists and violent illegal criminals. The effort by 1744 01:44:59,080 --> 01:45:01,439 Speaker 1: the media and bias politicians to reignite fear of a 1745 01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:05,720 Speaker 1: nuclear war with North Korea is fabricated shields. Hie from 1746 01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:08,479 Speaker 1: Thomas Thomas, Look, I totally agree, and media is playing 1747 01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:11,160 Speaker 1: all kinds of games with this stuff. They're not being 1748 01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:13,840 Speaker 1: honest about what's really going on to the border. They're 1749 01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:16,800 Speaker 1: also not being honest about what's really going on with 1750 01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:19,760 Speaker 1: the North Korea deal. But we would expect nothing less, right, 1751 01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:22,479 Speaker 1: And this is how they are, This is who they are, 1752 01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:25,920 Speaker 1: and this is the way things will continue from the 1753 01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:30,400 Speaker 1: mainstream media, No no question about it, alright. Next up here, 1754 01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:34,439 Speaker 1: Liam rights buck love the show and the taste of 1755 01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:36,960 Speaker 1: black rifle coffee. Will Liam, you are? You are a 1756 01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:41,240 Speaker 1: man of exceptional taste. Question is it a feasible scenario 1757 01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:47,439 Speaker 1: and desirable one for Trump to just fire Sessions, special counsel, 1758 01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:51,599 Speaker 1: the Deputy Attorney General, end it all and just publish 1759 01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:54,519 Speaker 1: all the documents, especially all the texts between the two 1760 01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:57,760 Speaker 1: FBI as plotting his downfall. I'm sorry, but in the 1761 01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:00,840 Speaker 1: court of public opinion, to me the documents with Trump, 1762 01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:03,759 Speaker 1: anything the liberal media coul launch against him. Your thoughts, Liam, 1763 01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:09,719 Speaker 1: I understand the complete lack of willingness to sit around. 1764 01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:11,960 Speaker 1: It's not even lack of patients, right, because we've been patient. 1765 01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:14,360 Speaker 1: I understand the desire to just get to the bottom 1766 01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:16,559 Speaker 1: of this and make it all end. But I do 1767 01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:20,000 Speaker 1: think that it would in some ways be playing into 1768 01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:24,160 Speaker 1: the left hands for Trump to just go all in, 1769 01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:28,080 Speaker 1: all out and take all the information and just put 1770 01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:29,840 Speaker 1: it out there, right because there would be some stuff 1771 01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:33,040 Speaker 1: that's probably legitimately sensitive, some of it, most of it not. 1772 01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:34,960 Speaker 1: But now there would be some things that we should 1773 01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:38,080 Speaker 1: definitely uh want to keep from public view for reasons 1774 01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:41,880 Speaker 1: of safety or sources and methods. But I think that 1775 01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:44,040 Speaker 1: the best thing now is to let this thing play out, 1776 01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:47,760 Speaker 1: because it's just going to continue on as is, and 1777 01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:51,080 Speaker 1: it's going nowhere, folks, It's going nowhere. And when we 1778 01:46:51,320 --> 01:46:53,200 Speaker 1: turn back and look at this, you know, one thing 1779 01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:57,160 Speaker 1: that the left doesn't really understand is that we remember stuff. 1780 01:46:57,680 --> 01:47:02,080 Speaker 1: We remember the way the mainstream media completely debase themselves 1781 01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:05,640 Speaker 1: in order to worship at the altar of Barack Obama, 1782 01:47:05,960 --> 01:47:08,360 Speaker 1: and that effects our willingness to listen to them now 1783 01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:10,760 Speaker 1: on other issues. Right, we know that for eight years, 1784 01:47:10,760 --> 01:47:14,559 Speaker 1: like Obama's a genius, is incredible, he's perfect and so 1785 01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:16,719 Speaker 1: now and they say, oh, no, we're just doing our jobs, 1786 01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:19,920 Speaker 1: are just speaking truth to power on the White House, Like, yeah, 1787 01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:21,920 Speaker 1: we know what truth to power is when it's a 1788 01:47:21,960 --> 01:47:24,439 Speaker 1: Democrat you like in the White House. Very different thing. 1789 01:47:25,439 --> 01:47:31,280 Speaker 1: So we also will remember how nasty and underhanded and 1790 01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:34,640 Speaker 1: disrespectful they've been in this whole Special Council process, the 1791 01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:38,320 Speaker 1: Russia collusion fantasy. They're gonna hope that it just fades away, 1792 01:47:38,439 --> 01:47:40,080 Speaker 1: that they can just move on to the next thing 1793 01:47:40,160 --> 01:47:42,280 Speaker 1: after they've after they've tried this, they'll move on to 1794 01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:44,920 Speaker 1: something else. Right, They'll have some other scandal they'll sink 1795 01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:47,240 Speaker 1: their teeth into. And I think it's because the modern 1796 01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:50,280 Speaker 1: left really can't win the argument on any important national 1797 01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:54,719 Speaker 1: issue based on their position right, based on the facts. 1798 01:47:55,400 --> 01:47:58,520 Speaker 1: They have to come up with these emotionally compelling narratives 1799 01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:02,680 Speaker 1: to take the place of real policy debate. That's what 1800 01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:06,800 Speaker 1: I see happening. Alright, Chuck is next here. Let's try 1801 01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:09,640 Speaker 1: this roll call question. Buck Love the new show. What 1802 01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:12,920 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on am Low winning the Mexican election? 1803 01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:16,400 Speaker 1: Will he make it worse if possible, or better for Mexicans? Shields, 1804 01:48:16,439 --> 01:48:20,040 Speaker 1: hie and Maga from Chuck. Well, Chuck, I talked a 1805 01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:21,960 Speaker 1: bit about this on the show, as you know, so 1806 01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:24,200 Speaker 1: if you missed that, please go back and check out 1807 01:48:24,240 --> 01:48:26,320 Speaker 1: that part of it. This is a good plug for 1808 01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:31,559 Speaker 1: the podcast, but I would also say that, you know, 1809 01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:35,040 Speaker 1: it's I'm very just to repeat, I'm very skeptical that 1810 01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:38,560 Speaker 1: am Low is going to be a good thing for 1811 01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:41,400 Speaker 1: Mexico and a good thing for us. I think you're 1812 01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:43,640 Speaker 1: gonna see some big problems that come out of this. 1813 01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:51,000 Speaker 1: I really do all right. Next up here, Steve Shields 1814 01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:53,000 Speaker 1: hie Buck. I've been a loyal fan for many years 1815 01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,679 Speaker 1: and greatly appreciate all that you do to get out 1816 01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:59,080 Speaker 1: the conservative message. The problem that I have with rising 1817 01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:01,559 Speaker 1: is that it is an other opportunity for liberals to 1818 01:49:01,600 --> 01:49:05,560 Speaker 1: propagate their nonsense. They already have the mainstream media, Hollywood, 1819 01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:08,880 Speaker 1: and universities as mouthpieces. They don't need any more outlets 1820 01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:11,240 Speaker 1: for their dangerous message. I know you're just being an 1821 01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:13,240 Speaker 1: honorable guy, but we don't need to give the left 1822 01:49:13,240 --> 01:49:16,320 Speaker 1: more opportunities to damage our country. I consider myself a 1823 01:49:16,360 --> 01:49:18,880 Speaker 1: constitutional libertarian, and I would rather see you and a 1824 01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:22,760 Speaker 1: libertarian host on Rising rather than just another misguided left. 1825 01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:24,439 Speaker 1: Is just my two cents. Keep up the good work. 1826 01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:29,680 Speaker 1: Cember five, from a United States Marine Corps Vietnam vet. Well, Steve, like, 1827 01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:32,360 Speaker 1: I totally respect to appreciate your opinion on this one, 1828 01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:35,360 Speaker 1: and I'll just say that you know, if you want, 1829 01:49:35,680 --> 01:49:41,760 Speaker 1: if you want unfiltered, unadulterated, pure, uh freedom Hunt, you 1830 01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:43,720 Speaker 1: just come here to the show and of course the 1831 01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:46,320 Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt podcast, but just come here to the Bucks 1832 01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:48,559 Speaker 1: Exton show, because this is where I just get to 1833 01:49:48,560 --> 01:49:51,240 Speaker 1: give you exactly what it is, how it is. I 1834 01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:52,960 Speaker 1: don't have to be polite to anyone. I don't have 1835 01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:56,519 Speaker 1: to play any games. I'm trying something else with this show. 1836 01:49:56,520 --> 01:49:59,639 Speaker 1: We'll see if it works. You know, I'm watching many 1837 01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:01,719 Speaker 1: of the show I was back, and I certainly feel 1838 01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:08,519 Speaker 1: like sometimes, you know, my polite nature is. It's something 1839 01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:10,920 Speaker 1: I need to need to keep an eye on and 1840 01:50:10,920 --> 01:50:13,200 Speaker 1: and ultimately we'll just see if it's if it's functioning well. 1841 01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:15,360 Speaker 1: The point of it is to create a dialogue on 1842 01:50:15,439 --> 01:50:19,680 Speaker 1: air with Rising Hill dot TV slash rising, or we 1843 01:50:19,720 --> 01:50:21,880 Speaker 1: can see if we can actually have an exchange of 1844 01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:24,200 Speaker 1: ideas and maybe I can bring Crystal over to my 1845 01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:26,080 Speaker 1: side a little bit on some things, and maybe she 1846 01:50:26,120 --> 01:50:30,560 Speaker 1: can do the same thing with me without shaming conservatives 1847 01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:33,519 Speaker 1: or owning libs. That's our mantra. That's our mantra every 1848 01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:36,160 Speaker 1: day on the show. We do not shame conservatives. We 1849 01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:40,400 Speaker 1: do not own the libs. Uh. Is it possible, though, 1850 01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:43,160 Speaker 1: my friend? I don't know. It's really hard the especially 1851 01:50:43,200 --> 01:50:45,879 Speaker 1: these days, you know, and there are just some issues 1852 01:50:46,240 --> 01:50:49,240 Speaker 1: as we get deeper and deeper into the fight over 1853 01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:52,160 Speaker 1: abortion and the Supreme Court, for example, I don't I 1854 01:50:52,160 --> 01:50:55,240 Speaker 1: don't have a moderate you know, moderation button really on 1855 01:50:55,720 --> 01:50:58,800 Speaker 1: abortion issues. I don't have that. Well, you know, maybe 1856 01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm kind of okay that. No, I don't. I don't 1857 01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:04,360 Speaker 1: have that. It just doesn't exist. So that could be 1858 01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:06,080 Speaker 1: something we're gonna I'm gonna have to watch out for 1859 01:51:06,120 --> 01:51:08,040 Speaker 1: in the show. And I don't know what that really means. 1860 01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:10,160 Speaker 1: The good news is though, that you're listening to radio show, 1861 01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:11,960 Speaker 1: and the radio show is always going to be this, 1862 01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:14,320 Speaker 1: which is just me getting to tell you what matters 1863 01:51:14,320 --> 01:51:16,759 Speaker 1: and us to have a discussion about how we feel 1864 01:51:16,840 --> 01:51:18,840 Speaker 1: about all the things that are happening in this country. 1865 01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:23,160 Speaker 1: I have a discussion about liberty and constitutionalism and just 1866 01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:25,880 Speaker 1: the truth.
