Plus a 24 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: senior North Korean former intelligence official on his way to 25 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: New York City to kick start what could be a 26 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: restarted summit on June twelve.

I'm here in 35 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: the swamp, live from the swamp as I as I 36 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,399 Speaker 1: tend to be these days. I will give you more 37 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: details on that as soon as I can. Still waiting 38 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: for the all clear on it. I think it will 39 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: be probably now next week when the official announcement comes out. 40 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: Some of you probably have already figured out what's going on. 41 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: Why I'm down here in the swamp, but it's not officially. 42 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, and some of you might have even read 43 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: it in some places. Can neither confirm nor deny what 44 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: has been written in say the Washington Post about what 45 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm doing right now. But nonetheless, there are some there's 46 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: some stuff to to get to, and we will get 47 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: to it. I don't plan on spending too much time 48 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: today of our show. I find that we have so 49 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: much to get to of substance, so much that is 50 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: worth our our effort and energy and thought processes. That 51 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: something that's very obvious and straightforward and clear cut, we'll 52 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: talk about it, but not something that we have to 53 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: spend too much time on. And that is what happened 54 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: with Roseanne today. ABC has canceled the reboot of Roseanne's 55 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: show because, in case you didn't see it, as she 56 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: wrote something a very openly overtly racist about about Valerie 57 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: Jarrett specifically, So she's done. It's it's all over. I mean, 58 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: the show is is, and I think the show at 59 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: one point I had eighteen million viewers, so this was 60 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: going to be they expect a big money maker for ABC. 61 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: And she was dropped. She was dropped by her talent agency. 62 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: She's the show has been dropped. I mean, this is 63 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: this is complete and utter career self immolation by by 64 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: Rosanne Barr. And it's in no way surprising given what 65 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: she said. It's not not a surprise. And the tweet 66 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: and this is from Fox news dot com. Uh, there 67 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 1: was a politically charged tweet she sent linking Chelsea Clinton 68 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: to donor George Soros, and a racially charged tweet saying Jarrett, 69 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: who is African American and born in Iran, is like 70 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: the Muslim Brotherhood. And Planet of the Apes had a 71 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: baby end quote. That's it. You're you're done, and you 72 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: know you're Roseanne. You're done. There there, You're you're fired. 73 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: There's nothing, There's no way around it. There shouldn't be 74 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: any way around it. We live with the consequences of 75 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: our actions. I'm seeing some out there in social media 76 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: commentary land. Some people say, well, it's a it's a 77 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: First Amendment issue. No, I take you to exactly where 78 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: I did with the NFL's policy on kneeling during the anthem. 79 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: Not that these are similar situations, but I'm just saying, 80 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: with the free speech episode that I used to illustrate 81 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: how a private employer has to be able to set 82 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: boundaries and there can't be zero standards for speech and 83 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: conduct in in the workplace. As I said to you, 84 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: does anyone really think that you could walk up to 85 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: your boss, as much fun as it may be for you. 86 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: Although I'm sure some of you think your boss is 87 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: a lovely person um and perhaps more perhaps all of 88 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: you think you're boss a lovely person, but I don't 89 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: believe that any of you are under the impression. I'm 90 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: certainly not under the impression. And I can walk up 91 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: to my employer and say and say whatever I want. 92 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: I mean, curse him out or curse her out, tell 93 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: him or her what I really think of of that person, 94 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: and just let it rip, and then walk away and 95 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: be like, well, you know, I was just expressing my 96 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: First Amendment rights. The First Amendment only applies to government 97 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: action as a function of law. We always separate this 98 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: out because that's important, right. It's a different thing. You know. 99 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: The government cannot come in and say, hey, Roseanne, uh, 100 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: you know we're we're now gonna find and we're now 101 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: gonna punish you even more and send you to prison 102 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: or something because of your racist week government can't do that. 103 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: And that's now. I will note that there are some 104 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: people who think that the First Amendment doesn't protect hate 105 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: speech or racist speech. I think those people are wrong, 106 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: and you know that that's another component of this debate, 107 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: this discussion. As I told you the the guy who 108 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: was on the Long Island railroad recently, which I was 109 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: actually on. UH, I was on that railroad this past weekend. 110 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: Side note. UH, that guy said really nasty racist stuff, 111 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 1: but I didn't commit a crime. And when they started 112 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: to say, well, it was racial menacing or something, No, 113 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: there was an argument between a jerk and UH, I 114 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: think two women and he said things he shouldn't say. 115 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: He'll be publicly shamed forks. It was all on video. 116 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: But you can't threaten to lock people up for that. 117 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: Private employer is different. Private employer can make decisions about 118 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: you based on your conduct that are that. This is 119 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: separate from UH. This is separate from the issue of 120 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: whether the government can intervene based on the content of 121 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: your speech or your activism or whatever it may be. 122 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: And you know, anyone who wants to sort of test 123 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: this theory out, is there a job you think in 124 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: America right now? Where you could walk around and just 125 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: say the most racist thing imaginable and face zero consequence. 126 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: I think the answer is obviously no. In fact, we 127 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: really have the other issue in this country, which is 128 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: now you have people who are getting in trouble for 129 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: of alleged racial incidents or things that are much more 130 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: in a gray zone on the borderline, not clear, not intentional. 131 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that there's no such thing as 132 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: two you know, two racists in this case, two racist 133 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: for not just TV, but you know, any any job 134 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: or profession. Right, there's gonna be consequences, and she has 135 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: now faced the consequences, and and that's that. I would 136 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: just note a few more things about this, and like 137 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: I said, by the way, if any of you have 138 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: more thoughts you want to add on to this, if 139 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: you think I've there's a part of this that I'm missing, 140 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: or there's something else that you I would like to 141 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: add intoor discussion eight four four nine buck eight four 142 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: or four nine to eight to five. I'm just say 143 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: this rose in Um, I feel I feel badly. Valerie 144 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: Jarrett's already uh spoken on the issue. By the way, 145 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if do we have do we have 146 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: that audio producer Brandon, and she's we don't. I don't 147 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: think if we get it we can play it maybe later. 148 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: But I heard the audio and she just said, look, 149 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, racism is real, and it was racist and 150 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: nothing surprising. Um. And I think she's likely to just 151 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: want to know, move on with her life, as she should. 152 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: Uh you know where Zan has already been fired. The 153 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: show has been canceled. I feel badly, and actually Valley 154 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: Jarrett said, you know, other people don't have friends and 155 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: allies who come to their defense immediately, so you know, 156 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: I mean, Valery Jarrett's a prominent public person with a 157 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: lot of you know, public relations firepower at her disposal 158 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: as we've seen today. Other people don't have that. But 159 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: I feel badly for the I'm assuming the people that 160 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: had nothing to do this tweet who lost their jobs. 161 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: You know, a show like this gets canceled, people will 162 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: have jobs also. Fellow actors that appear with her in this, 163 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: you know, this may have been really a big, big 164 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: break in their career. It may have been something that 165 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: and now they're all kind of tainted by this too, 166 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: even though they didn't, you know, they had nothing to 167 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: do with this this is Rosanne tweeting herself, you know, 168 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: late at night. So I feel badly for them. And 169 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: then just I've said this so many times before for 170 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know Twitter, Twitter gets people 171 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: into trouble, you know, Twitter, people don't they don't think 172 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: through what they're gonna write, they don't think through how 173 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: something will come across. And in some cases it's just 174 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: a window into a person's mind that it is not 175 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: it is not to their benefit that the public knows 176 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: what they think. I think that's what that's what we 177 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: had here. I mean that's you know, there are closed 178 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: there are jokes that are close calls, there are jokes 179 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: that are misconstrued. There are sometimes when you say, okay, 180 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: somebody could have said that and you know it's off 181 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: the cuff. Or with Rosanne, this this was this wasn't 182 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: just over the line. This was across the you know, 183 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: the red line. I mean this is ah, there's a 184 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: no go zone and and she she went there and 185 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: she's suffering the consequences. I know. Much more on that, Uh, 186 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: I think that really covers it. This is now dominating, 187 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: dominating the news coverage for the day. I mean, this 188 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: is a twenty four hour Roseanne a thon. Now, as 189 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: a result of this, a lot of people on the 190 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: left are going to say that this is an indicative 191 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: of the realities of of racism. You know, racism today 192 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: it's much more prevalence. So that's going to be certainly 193 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: be a part of this discussion. UM, left wing activists, 194 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people will just be pointing at this 195 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: and saying, see, it really reminded me actually a little 196 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: bit of the um meltdown that I forget it he 197 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: played Cramer on Siginfel. I forget his Michael Richards, Thanks Brendan. 198 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: Michael Richards had if you remember when he was a 199 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: stand up where he just he just went into just 200 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: like racial hatred mode up on stage out of nowhere. Um, 201 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: and you know that guy has never been the same, understandably, 202 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: So you know, so this is Uh, They're gonna continue 203 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: talk about this, But I don't think there's much much 204 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: more to take away from other than yeah, there's still 205 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: people that say very dumb racist things. And I had 206 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: Herman Kane on right before me on Fox and he said, 207 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: you know that he said that he doesn't believe and 208 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: this is what Herman Kane said that Roseanne is a racist, 209 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: but what she wrote was definitely racist. Well, I'll let 210 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: Mr Kane let Mr Kane's quote speak for itself there 211 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: on that one. Um, And with that, I want to 212 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: get to a whole bunch of other policy issues today, 213 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: other things that are just up on the radar. We 214 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: should be talking about the Starbucks training that happened today 215 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: they shut down for a few hours. What I really 216 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: think about that A reparation's happy hour. Talk about that 217 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: in the third hour. North Korea obviously it is going 218 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: to be part of our discussion today and and certainly 219 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: will spend some time on what is going on at 220 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: the border with parents being separated from their children, and 221 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: people are very heated over whether this is a a 222 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: new Trump initiative. There are photos that are making the 223 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: rounds among journalists, are getting shared. A lot of stuff 224 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: going on there at the border I want to talk 225 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: to you about. And oh yes, also of course Russia 226 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: spying and all that stuff. It's getting worse and worse 227 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: for the other side. Uh. They they're really getting desperate here. Um, 228 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm seeing analysis now are people saying, well, you know, 229 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: we'll just never really know what happened here. Because classified, 230 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: no such things, super duper classified in in all cases 231 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: even the president can actually get to this information. That doesn't. 232 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: That's not how it works. So if they're hoping you 233 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: just hide in the oh it's also classified, uh, that's 234 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 1: not gonna work. That's that's gonna be an issue for them. 235 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: And we'll get into that spy gate stuff coming up 236 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: here in just a few minutes. Eight four four eight 237 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: fo to five much more coming. Stay with I think 238 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: we have to turn into a teaching moment. I'm fine. 239 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: I'm worried about all the people out there who don't 240 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: have a circle of friends and followers who come right 241 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: to their defense. The person who's walking down the street 242 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: mining their own business and they see somebody cling to 243 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: their purse or water across the street. For every black 244 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: parent I know who has a boy who has to 245 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: sit down and have a conversation, but talk, as we 246 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: call it, and those as you say, those ordinary um 247 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: examples of racism that happened every single day. That was 248 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: Valerie Jared's statements. So I told you we would play, 249 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: and there you have it. We got a couple of callers. 250 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: I want to talk to Roseanne and then we will 251 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: move on to the issue of parents being separated from 252 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: children at the border. What's really happening here? What's not 253 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: so much social media? Dare I say fire and fury 254 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: over this one? Uh? Over the past weekend. But we 255 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: have Denver calling in from Houston. One day, we'll have 256 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: Houston calling in from Denver. Good to talk to you. 257 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: How you doing a Buckshel brother Shields. Hi, thank you 258 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: for calling. Oh your sir. Uh. What I want to 259 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: mention is about the Roseanne issue. You know, obviously that 260 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: was a pretty harsh comment that she made, but you know, 261 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, and she considered a comedian. Yeah, 262 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: but there have to be standards, you know. I look, 263 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm very I'm very open to the idea that people 264 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: should get a second chance, but this you also have 265 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: to enforce some standards. And her her joke was it 266 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: was you know what I mean, It was just so 267 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: there are there's a place where it's silver line. Right. 268 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: There's a difference between telling your boss like I thought 269 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: your presentation was bad and telling your your boss to 270 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: go blank himself, like one of them is gonna get 271 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: you fired. You know what I mean exactly? But you 272 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: watch all the stand up comedians, they're African Americans out there. 273 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,359 Speaker 1: They have shows like ABC, NBC and all those programs. 274 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: They can stand up there and make harsh comments about 275 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: whites and nothing has ever said. That's that's a double 276 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: that's an issue that I'm talking about. They're allowed to 277 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: still go on their programs say whatever they want to say, 278 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: attack whoever they want to attack, but nothing's ever said 279 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: about that. Well, look, you know, Denver, this is where 280 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: this is where you get into. You have you have 281 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: a you know, a legacy of slavery in this country, 282 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: which it's very very real and still very it's still 283 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: a very painful part of our history. People would also 284 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: describe how, you know, the the African American community in 285 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: this country is still uh still oppressed. There's racism is 286 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: still real. I mean, these are things that you'll hear 287 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: all the time. But just because I think some people 288 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: exploit those kinds of dynamics for their own political game 289 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're not real dynamics. And and I think 290 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: that there, I think it's understandable that the African American 291 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: community and in fact, in fact, I'd say it's to 292 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: be expected the African African American community is going to 293 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: be more sensitive on racial jokes directed at them, then 294 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 1: say the white or or just non African American community 295 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: in this country would. So I don't think these are 296 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a straightforward comparison, is what I'm 297 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: trying to say. Um, and I and and and if 298 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: you gave me, you know, if you gave me something 299 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: where you know, we could look at the specifics of 300 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: one comment that one comedian made, I could say, Okay, 301 00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: well we'll look at but we're speaking and kind of 302 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: broad generalities. But but Denver, I do appreciate you calling in. 303 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: I want to get to Mike in Pennsylvania because we're 304 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: gonna move on from this topic afterwards. Mike, thanks for calling. 305 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: Oh Mike dropped, Okay, fair enough? Um, yeah, you know, 306 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: I uh, you know, I just you know, I know 307 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: people are gonna say that there's one comment and you know, okay, 308 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: can't she apologize? And it brings the she's in the 309 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: media business, she's had quite a career up to this point, 310 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: but she's a bad representation for ABC's brand at this point. 311 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 1: And and they're they're gonna it's a it is a 312 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: business decision to people are saying it's a it's an 313 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: it's what's right decision, which I think is fair, but 314 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: it's also a business decision. There are places that are 315 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: just gonna be too um it's two one. There are 316 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: comments that are unf that are too unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable 317 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: professionally speaking, Um, you know, personally, you can always ask 318 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: for forgiveness to you you from your community and from God, 319 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: and you know, move on as a person. But professionally 320 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: there are things that go too far. That's all I 321 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: got on that. I don't really have much more to 322 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: add to it other than other than that, although I did, 323 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: uh really want to get into this immigration situation in 324 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: the border, which I think is very, um, very interesting, 325 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: largely because the way the media initially thought it was 326 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: a huge, huge story, specifically so they could bash Trump, 327 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: and then the reality was more complicated than what they 328 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: had initially expected and then things change. We'll get to 329 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: that and and uh and also the latest on spy Gate. 330 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: That's all coming up. He's holding the line for America 331 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: buck sex in his back. So we had a holiday weekend, obviously, 332 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: and I wanted to take some time and I did, 333 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: and I was away with with Miss Molly and her 334 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: family and her dog Harold, or as I have taken it, 335 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: calling him had rolled because he's so cute. Uh. He 336 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: is a boxer pit bull mix and he's a very 337 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: he's a very robust fellow. He likes to likes to 338 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: jump up on the on the couch or on the 339 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: chair and snuggle with you and forgets that he's you know, 340 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: about seventy seventy pounds of of muscle and teeth. But 341 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: he's very cute, very cute fellow. So I took some 342 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: time away this weekend and it was nice. So it 343 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: was a lot of rain where where I was, I 344 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: think it was nice. Another Chicago would looked like people 345 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: were wearing walking around in bating suits and getting a 346 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: tin and the whole East Coast was just like a 347 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: monsoon practically out there. So I spent a lot of 348 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: time indoors, read, read, finished off a couple of books, 349 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: which maybe this Friday i'll talk to you about some 350 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: of the interesting stuff from them, some good reads to 351 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: share with all of you. But this came up on 352 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: my radar, this story about how Trump is the administration 353 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: that he leads. There's such monsters when it comes to 354 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. I mean, they're they're so dehumanizing that they 355 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: have this policy of separating parents and children. Just you 356 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: can see the footage in your mind of parents just 357 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: grasping their child's hand as they're pulled apart, and who 358 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: knows when they'll see each other again. It's so traumatic 359 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: for the kids. And they're putting cages and they're put 360 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: in uh busses with restraints specifically for the children. I mean, 361 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: it was truly scary stuff I was seeing over the weekend. 362 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: Problem is it's all basically lies. I mean, might I 363 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: say basically, I'll give the explanations of you know, the 364 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: specifics in a moment. But the problem is what we 365 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: saw on the weekend is that when a few journalists, 366 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: and this is a recurring theme, when they see an 367 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: opportunity to be anti Trump, they take it. They don't 368 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: verify facts, they don't look into the backstory, they don't 369 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: want to hear from both sides, or even be clear 370 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: on one side. They just know, if it's bad for Trump, 371 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: it's good for me. I'm gonna go for it. And 372 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: this has led to all these embarrassing retractions in the 373 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: past or these did these appended corrections to news stories 374 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: where it's like a chapter of a book. They put 375 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: at the bottom, well, we got this wrong and this wrong, 376 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 1: and this wrong, and that wrong and that wrong. But 377 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to retract the story that's 378 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: an anti Trump story, because then it's gonna be a 379 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: little too obvious that we got a problem. We've got 380 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: an anti Trump compulsion. It really is a compulsion. It's 381 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: like the people that hate Trump in the media and 382 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: more broadly, I think across the country just can't control 383 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: it anymore. You know that. It's like it bubbles up 384 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: from inside them. Traumb I hate Traum, but I can't stop. 385 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: They have an anti Trump addiction. And that's what was 386 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: pushing a lot of this story at the boarders. Let 387 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: me tell you what really happened, all right, This is 388 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: you can imagine, and there were all these initial tweets, 389 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: and you had one of the Obama Obama bros, like 390 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,479 Speaker 1: one of the frat brows from the Obama administration. Um 391 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: they do, uh Favreau, there you go. Uh. He he 392 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: was one that that kind of fell for this whole situation, 393 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: and that was saying, oh, look at this photo of 394 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: these children in cages, and that was that was what 395 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: initially got it going. A New York Times, not just 396 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: a New York Times employee, the editor in chief of 397 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: New York Times magazine. So look, that's a in the 398 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: left wing media world. That's a big that's a big job, 399 00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: that's a big name position. He shared these photos of 400 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: children's sleeping in cages and use that to go after 401 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, you know, he he took this as 402 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: an opportunity to show his, uh, his distaste for Trump. 403 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: And look, you see these photos and they're about children 404 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: in cages at the border, you know, in holding cells essentially, 405 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: and it doesn't it's not it's a photo that has 406 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: emotional impact. The problem though, with blaming Trump for these 407 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: photos was that they were taken in Now. I bet 408 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: everyone listening to this, as much faith as you have 409 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: in Trump, would probably be willing to agree with me 410 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: that it is unlikely that you could blame national immigration 411 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: policy in the year twenty fourteen on Donald Trump. And 412 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: in fact, I know here it comes, here, it comes. 413 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough. You're ready for a little bit, 414 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh. In fact, there's only really one 415 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: person if you're going to look at this as an 416 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: extension of an administration who you could blame for what happened, 417 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: and that person would be Barack Obama. Oh gosh, what 418 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: do they do now? New York Times is sharing a 419 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: photo from the Obama administration era of children in cages 420 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: at the border, separate from their parents, saying how terrible 421 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: it is. And then they find out that, based on 422 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: the very obvious timeline, it can't be blamed on Trump, 423 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: and a remarkable thing happens. I bet you're gonna guess 424 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: what this is. I'm telling you. I'm gonna tell you, 425 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: but you already know. The interest level that the media 426 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: had in that story magically plummeted, like all of it. 427 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: It went from all over the place, sharing, sharing, retweeting, commenting, 428 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, look at Trump. He's locking up He's 429 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: locking up undocumented immigrants in these cells, illegal alien children, 430 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: the same idea, he's locking them up in these cells. 431 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: Oh it was actually Obama's administrator. Oh I guess, uh, 432 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: I need to correct this wasn't under Trump's tenure. And 433 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: let's just move on. But wait, I thought I thought 434 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: the treatment of these children was so terrible and that's 435 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: what was Oh oh, it was really only a story 436 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: to them as long as it was useful against Trump, 437 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: or it was only an important story as long as 438 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: it was useful against Trump. Isn't that interesting? Don't we 439 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: note that with some degree of well disdain for the 440 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: ethics of the media, which I think we all should 441 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: have right now. I think that's definitely something to keep 442 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: in mind here. Uh. Let me also tell you, though, 443 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: that it gets worse. I mean, there's more. I shouldn't 444 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: even say it's worrise, but there's more. Oh, Hadas Gold, 445 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,239 Speaker 1: who's a new reporter over at CNN, she had been 446 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: at Political beforehand. She also shared that, you know, it 447 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,719 Speaker 1: was all about migrant children in cages and it was 448 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: so h you know, so terrible, and then they kind 449 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: of just moved on from it. Um. But there was 450 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: another photo out there where they were sharing a I 451 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: mean this one you had to see you to believe it. 452 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: They shared a bus, a photo of a bus that 453 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: was an immigration detention facility owned bus or or Immigration 454 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: and Customs enforcement owned bus. And it was shared as quote, 455 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: a prison bus for babies. Okay, you can imagine. And 456 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: this this was again from a a a blue check verified. 457 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: You know journalist Okay Um from ABC in Houston, a 458 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: prison buster for babies. Now, I saw this and I 459 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: initially thought to myself, come on, like who who really? 460 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: Because you look at it and you've got these chairs 461 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: that have restraints in them, right, I mean not not 462 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: like a strait jacket, but you know they there car seats. Now, 463 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: if you say that a car seat for a baby 464 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: is for its or or you know, young child is 465 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: for its safety, you're a good person. If you say 466 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: that it is a scary looking restraint as part of 467 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: a prison program, people are gonna go, oh gosh, that 468 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: seems really severe. That's really scary. We can't have that. 469 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: And you know what what it turns out is true 470 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: about about those uh And then I wish I could 471 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: show you. I wish I could show you this Um. 472 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: But this is from a story that was published on April. 473 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: That's where they got this photo. They were shared again 474 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: about Trump's monstrous border policy separating parents from children. He's 475 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: a monster, He's so scary. But the photos are from April. Now, 476 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: everybody who wants to join me in this one was 477 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: BARACKO was Barack Obama president then? Or was Donald Trump 478 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: president then. And by the way this got shared, I 479 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: mean this was all over the meat. Don't think I'm 480 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,479 Speaker 1: not picking on some little thing here that no one 481 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: paid attention to. This was everywhere over the weekend. I 482 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: was trying to stay off Twitter. I did not do 483 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: a good enough job.

So this 494 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: story circulated on April and the prison bus for babies 495 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: that was being shared. You know, it's really for educational 496 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: field trips. Do you know where this prison bus for 497 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: young children went went? It's a prison, but it's a 498 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: prison bus or taking barribies, putting them in prisons in 499 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: a little babysuit. Prison is scary, you know, the illuminating 500 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: in the builderbergs are taking all these kids putting him 501 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: in prison. No this quote prison bus took these children 502 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: in the custody of hh S. By the way, Immigrations 503 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement turns over miners in the immigration system 504 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: to HHS. You know where they were taking terrifying places. 505 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: I mean this is real, uh, you know, fascist level 506 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: stuff we're talking about here. They went to see a 507 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: movie at a local theater. They went for an excursion 508 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: to a local park to play kick around the ball. 509 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: You know, we'll play a little whiffleball. They went to 510 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: the San Antonio Zoo to see cool animals when you're 511 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: a kid man, I mean, there are a few things 512 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: that I remember. I went to Bronx zoo camp. That's right. 513 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: I went to a camp in a zoo for like 514 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: two weeks. All we did was just walk around and 515 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: learn about the animals, and they would let's let us 516 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: play with some of the animals. Um mostly like very 517 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: large if very large insects, which I was not particularly like. 518 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: They brought over a beatle that I still have nightmares about. 519 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, the zoo is a nice place to go. 520 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: It's not a prison program. The seats that they were 521 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: reporting on that were pre Donald Trump any way, for 522 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:05,959 Speaker 1: Irtegrations and Customs Enforcement, were child safety seats because they 523 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: don't want kids when the bus stop short to smack 524 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: their faces either into the chair in front of them 525 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: or you know, into the windshield or anything else. They 526 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: want them safe. That's it. But it was. This was 527 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: a remarkable series of errors that were magnified and shared 528 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: and magnified and shared and the echo chamber effect, and 529 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: no one stopped to do the bare essentials of journalism. 530 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: No one stopped to think, wouldn't we maybe know if 531 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: the Trump administration had instituted a new program that had 532 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: prison buses for babies, which is such a crazy concept 533 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: when you really think about. It's amazing at anybody shared 534 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: thousands of time all over the place. But all reason, 535 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: all mental faculties, all ability to be honest, to be 536 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: national to the media loses all of it if it 537 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: is against this administration. It actually has gotten to a 538 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: point for me where it makes me uncomfortable because what 539 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: I'm seeing and I do not say this to overstated. 540 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a provocateur here or something. 541 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: What I'm seeing when people talk about trumps arrangement syndrome 542 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: I see from some of these people in the media 543 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: does seem to be pathological. It does seem to be 544 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: a mass hysteria along the lines of a mental illness, 545 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: a collective mental illness that is influencing the way that 546 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: people are approaching their jobs and their perception of reality. 547 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: Because of this administration. There are no prison buses for babies, 548 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: and the detention centers for children that we've seen these 549 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: photos of existed during the Obama era. So we've got 550 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: a lot of talking to do about who's really rough 551 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: on immigrants and who's not. We'll have more also on 552 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: parents and children being separated and whether that's true and 553 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: how it's true. In just a moment, I'm gonna talk 554 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: more about the truth of the Obama I mean, sorry, 555 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Pardon me, look what I just did, uh, 556 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: getting all mixed up here with the children being separated 557 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,959 Speaker 1: from parents at the border. I want to get into 558 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: that in some detail. And I went a littlong and 559 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: the last segments, so that means that I got to 560 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: hold that for the next hour. I really want to 561 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: work through that with you. I think it's important. You're 562 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: gonna see a lot more about this because on the 563 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: issue of immigration, the left, the Democrats going into the 564 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,720 Speaker 1: mid terms absolutely have to emotionalize the issue. If people 565 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: know what's really going on and what had been going 566 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: on at the border, they will be much more meaning 567 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: the electorate will be much more with Trump, at least 568 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: in my estimation. If it just turns into who who 569 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: cares about kids more, who's nicer when it comes to immigrants, 570 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: who's nicer about these things? Then I think you're very 571 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: likely to have not a Democrat overall advantage necessarily, but 572 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: their fortunes will be better on immigration if that's the case. 573 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: But I want to take a moment or just stop 574 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: and tell you about a a happy story from across 575 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,320 Speaker 1: the pond. Here you had this. They're calling him spider Man, 576 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: twenty two year old Mama do Gussama who If you 577 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: haven't seen the video, By the way, I mean, this 578 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: guy is agile. It was it was impressive. He climbed 579 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: up four floors of an apartment building to save a 580 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: dangling child. I mean, by the way, this is a 581 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: thing that I feel like a lot of people dream 582 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: that like one day maybe you know when you're thinking 583 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: about i'd be great to be a hero, do you 584 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: think you know it's saving a dangling child and the 585 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: child was literally holding on for dear life on the 586 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: edge of a holding four floors up. Very likely could 587 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: have been killed if if the child had lost lost 588 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: his grip and Gassama just I mean, he he got 589 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,280 Speaker 1: up there. It was it was pretty it was pretty remarkable, 590 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,280 Speaker 1: and the guys in you know, it was very good shape. 591 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: And he got he climbed up the four floors. Um. 592 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: But he's now been made a or he's about to 593 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: be made by Emmanuel macroll. May we be as mccron. 594 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: I just anytime I can do that with mccrow's name, 595 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: I like to get a little French. Uh. He's gonna 596 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: make him a citizen. And you know, I any of 597 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: these stories and it's it's true of those who served 598 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: in the in the military here, and I think it 599 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: should be true of anyone brought any of these stories 600 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 1: where someone gets their citizenship because of an act act 601 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 1: of uh bravery, patriotism or service or all the above. 602 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: I think it's just a good message to send about 603 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,760 Speaker 1: the citizenship is a valuable thing. It should people should 604 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: be able to earn it. It should be something that 605 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: is earned, not that's just distributed out as as a 606 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: political favor. And this guy in France, in France, Mama 607 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,720 Speaker 1: duga sama uh, they're calling him spider Man or perhaps 608 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: spider man Um.

There an Attorney General, 641 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions, just the last couple of weeks, they're talking 642 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: about how the Trump administration is approaching the issue of 643 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 1: illegal immigration, when it involves children, when involves miners. Now, 644 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,760 Speaker 1: this is a complicated issue with a lot of different 645 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: things going on. I want to break it down for 646 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: you so you really understand because I spend time over 647 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 1: the weekend researching this.

You know, nonsense and hyperbole, there's plenty 650 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,280 Speaker 1: of that on social media. And with that in mind, 651 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: you may have seen some again journalists, people with followings, 652 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: people that are entrusted, you know, their careers are all 653 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:21,800 Speaker 1: about bringing information to the public. They started run around 654 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: with this meme or this storyline that the Trump administration 655 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:36,800 Speaker 1: has lost has lost, uh, almost fifteen hundred immigrant immigrant children. 656 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: It did not lose them, folks, But this is what 657 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: people saying. They lost them. Now they're just lost. We 658 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 1: don't know where they are and can't find them. Trump 659 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: is It's like Trump took dred immigrant kids to the 660 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: movies personally, and he left them there and no one 661 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,800 Speaker 1: knows where they are now, right, It's like, oh, they're lost. 662 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: That's not what happened. But that was that was what 663 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: people were saying. You know, do the illistration lose all 664 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 1: these kids? How do they lose the word are there? 665 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: We have to find where are they? We have to 666 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 1: find them? No, no, no, no, no, no no no. 667 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: This is where we have to step back for a 668 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: moment and look at what's really going on here, because 669 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: it matters. You're going to have a major debate over 670 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: immigration leading into the mid terms, that's for sure. Whether 671 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: you know whether the Republicans are serious about this or 672 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: not this time around, I don't know. You're your guess 673 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:32,839 Speaker 1: is as good as mine, and Republicans are not not 674 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: to be trusted on the issue of immigration. I just 675 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,439 Speaker 1: I just gotta say it. You don't know what you're 676 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 1: getting with the GOP on immigration enforcement. They want to 677 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: call it reform. You know, it's just a matter of 678 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,280 Speaker 1: time before you get Marco Ruby out there again running 679 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,879 Speaker 1: around talking about the Gang of eight bill that died 680 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: a while ago. They'll try to bring it back, a 681 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: different gang of eight than the usual here in d C. 682 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: So that's all gonna happen. So, but here's here's what's 683 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: happened at the border with regard to these children and 684 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 1: the separation of the children and all this other stuff. Okay, 685 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: first of all, the Trump administration has not actually changed 686 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,720 Speaker 1: the rules. And one thing you've always got to remember 687 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: is that Republicans or conservatives more specifically, get in trouble 688 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: for literally saying, well, the law that says we have 689 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 1: to do this, We're we're going to do what that 690 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: law says. Democrats on immigration take a position of allah 691 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: Caharte lawlessness. It's just the way they approach it, the 692 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 1: way they do it, and so you have to remember that. 693 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 1: Now we get into what's going on here. The rules 694 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: are the same. You separate adults from children under certain 695 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: circumstances at the border. If if an adult and a 696 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: child show up to the border, for example, as they 697 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: have from Central America and claim, uh, you know, and 698 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: claim as well, hold off on the asylum status for now. 699 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: We'll get I'll get into that in a moment. See 700 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 1: this is I'm honest with you. There's a bunch of 701 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: different ways this plays out. It's complicated. Of course. The 702 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: media is just Trump, We hate Trump. Trump's separating children 703 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: from parents. That's all they can think about. What's really happening. 704 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: What are the policies. What are the implications legally? How 705 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 1: does this work out? They don't care. There's an anti 706 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: Trump story there for it. There's a pro Trump story 707 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: they don't know anything about. So if you show up 708 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 1: at the border and you falsely claim you you pretend 709 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: to be the parent of a child there, which is 710 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 1: going on with uh trafficking and trafficking of children, which 711 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: you know can involve horrific crimes against children. Right. But 712 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: but if an adult shows up pretending to be a parent, 713 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: then yeah, they're gonna separate them, all right, because of 714 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 1: all the implications there, what could be going on? What 715 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,359 Speaker 1: is this, what's happening if you're smuggling children? If you're 716 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 1: an adult who was smuggling children, they will separate you 717 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: if they in any way believe or estimated. Remember we're 718 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: talking about children were under eighteen here, folks, right, so 719 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,280 Speaker 1: we could have teenagers in world. If there's a threat 720 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: to the child, they'll separate them. That's the These are 721 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 1: the obvious cases, right, I mean clearly, if if a 722 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,760 Speaker 1: coyote is smuggling a ten year old across the border 723 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: and you catch them together, you're not gonna keep the 724 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 1: coyote with a ten year old, right, And if the 725 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 1: smuggler is or just any adult is with a child 726 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 1: at the border and you and law enforcement is able 727 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,800 Speaker 1: to ice, is able to figure out that there's some threat. 728 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: That's all straightforward, obvious. Okay, But these are scenarios. We 729 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 1: understand these scenarios. Put them out there, all right. Now, 730 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 1: here's where it gets a little more complicated. What if 731 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 1: the adult is put into the criminal justice process. And 732 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: this is where ever been saying, oh my gosh, you 733 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,720 Speaker 1: know they're separating adults. You're separating parents from their children. 734 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: You know, you can just see like tiny hands grabbing 735 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: the parents finger and like mean law enforcement people in 736 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: this country pulling them apart. You just see the imagery 737 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,799 Speaker 1: they're trying to conjure up here. Well, here's where here's 738 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:15,359 Speaker 1: where this actually what this actually turns into. If, in fact, uh, 739 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 1: someone shows up at the border and tries to cross 740 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: illegally into the country with a child, they will be 741 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 1: criminally processed. If they are a first time offender, it's 742 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: a misdemeanor. You can get up to six months. But 743 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,439 Speaker 1: as anybody knows anything that the criminal justice system knows, 744 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: first time offenders for non violent crimes don't get the maximum. 745 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 1: In fact that generally don't even get the minimum. I mean, 746 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 1: they just usually get a slap on the wrist and 747 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,879 Speaker 1: I don't do this again. So for people who are 748 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 1: first time uh trying to cross the border and are 749 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: caught illegally, they can temporarily be separated from their child. 750 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,760 Speaker 1: The child goes in the custody of Health and Human Services. 751 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 1: The child is fatted, clothed, and cared for and by 752 00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,760 Speaker 1: the way, all courtesy of the taxpayer, all courtesy of you, uh. 753 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: And and the process if the parent wants to just say, okay, 754 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 1: you know what, I want to go back. I'll turn 755 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 1: around and go back to my home country, is basically immediate. 756 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 1: It's very very quick, and it's like same day proceedings. 757 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,239 Speaker 1: And if the person says, okay, we'll turn back, I 758 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 1: want to be with my kid. Ever ever gets reunited 759 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: the same day. So yeah, I mean they're separated, but 760 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,439 Speaker 1: they may be separated for a few hours. I would 761 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: note that if you're criminally processed, and this is what, 762 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 1: this is what the media, you know, they don't like 763 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: to think hard about these things. If any of you 764 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 1: listening were arrested, let's say, you know, you you're in 765 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: a traffic stop situation. You very in very unwise fashion, 766 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 1: decided to get physical with the officer and they arrest you. 767 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 1: And you've got like, you know, little little junior in 768 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 1: the in the back seat who's ten years old. They 769 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 1: don't say, okay, Junior, we're taking your dad downtown. Take 770 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 1: the wheel. You know you don't have a license, but 771 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,319 Speaker 1: see how it goes right, No, you know, and if 772 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,359 Speaker 1: they're gonna take another parent, I know to come because 773 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 1: but if there's no one you can come take care 774 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,920 Speaker 1: of the child. If there's no if they can't get anyone, 775 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: there's no other family member, no other person, then they 776 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,719 Speaker 1: are going to have to temporarily take custy of the 777 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 1: child while the parents process. And there's no other way. 778 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: What are you're gonna You're gonna leave this, you know, 779 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,359 Speaker 1: eight year old or ten year old or whatever, just 780 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,839 Speaker 1: by the side of the road. So you know, this 781 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 1: is not completely unique to the circumstances of crossing at 782 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 1: the border. So if you're willing to go back, if 783 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 1: you're will to be turned back right away, and remember 784 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,280 Speaker 1: the administration now is enforcing the law about illegal crossing. 785 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 1: So if you try to cross illegally and they get you, 786 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 1: they're going to put you in the criminal system. If 787 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,799 Speaker 1: you are a repeat offender, you can be charged with 788 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: a felony, meaning if this is not the first time 789 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: you've tried to illegally cross, you can be charged with 790 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:46,319 Speaker 1: the felony. But if you're charged with any felony, guess what, 791 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna be separated if you go to prison, You're 792 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 1: gonna be separated from your kid, right if you If 793 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 1: you don't pay your taxes, I love to get to 794 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,799 Speaker 1: that one, because we all know doesn't matter if you 795 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 1: pay your taxes, No, just like one person crossing the 796 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 1: border illegally doesn't really matter to the country. No, But 797 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 1: if everybody does, it matters a whole lot. If enough 798 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,799 Speaker 1: people to do it, it it matters a whole lot. And 799 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 1: it is never a defense that the government will accept 800 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,400 Speaker 1: about not paying your taxes to say, I mean, come on, 801 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: you really need like my my fifteen grand this year? 802 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,240 Speaker 1: Is ever really gonna make a difference to you, guys, 803 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 1: Uncle Sam, Even though the answer is no, it makes 804 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: zero difference none. It is it is literally completely irrelevant. 805 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: But they are strict on the black letter straightforward law 806 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 1: of tax evasion, whereas an immigration they'll say, oh, there's 807 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 1: human rights and all this other stuff that they pretend 808 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,759 Speaker 1: the law is in the law anymore. But if you 809 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: don't pay your taxes and you go to prison, somebody else, 810 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: hopefully it's a family member, somebody else takes care of 811 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,799 Speaker 1: the kid. The state will take custody of the kid 812 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,840 Speaker 1: if nobody else will. So this is not you know 813 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 1: that they've created this circumstance for like Trump and administration 814 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,760 Speaker 1: or these monsters. It's just not true. It's just not true. 815 00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,799 Speaker 1: It gets a little bit more complicated because of the 816 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 1: Flores Consent Decree, which says that unaccompanied children can be 817 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 1: held only for twenty days. And then there's a ruling 818 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,360 Speaker 1: by the Ninth Circuit that says the twenty day limit 819 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,880 Speaker 1: um extends to children who come as part of a 820 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:22,759 Speaker 1: family unit. So there's there's some variations, but that's from 821 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 1: been around for a long time, and that comes in 822 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 1: for for when somebody's claiming asylum. If you claim asylum, 823 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: that process can take a little bit longer, and so 824 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 1: there can be a separation longer than a day or 825 00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 1: even a few days between the adult and the children. 826 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 1: If you're claiming asylum. So that's where this starts to. 827 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 1: But it's not new, it's uh, it's not Trump specific. 828 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:57,239 Speaker 1: And you know, I also think that claiming asylum, you know, 829 00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 1: it should be because you're in fear of your life. 830 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: It shouldn't just be, Hey, this is an easy way 831 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,440 Speaker 1: to get me in my family the United States, which 832 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: is a better economic situation than what I'm coming from 833 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 1: it in my home country. So because of the abuse, 834 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 1: in my opinion, of asylum claims that surge under Obama 835 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 1: and have continued under the Trump administration, you have this 836 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 1: one area where there's yes, if you show up at 837 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 1: the border you're claiming asylum, you might be separated from 838 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,839 Speaker 1: your children while that processing is going on, and that 839 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 1: can last for up to up to twenty days again 840 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: not months, not years, not, but there can be a 841 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:35,320 Speaker 1: separation that occurs there. So that's where all this comes together. 842 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,600 Speaker 1: There is Oh, there's nothing specific about Trump with this, 843 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,200 Speaker 1: and Congress should fix this if they want to fix this, right, 844 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 1: there's something that they they can take action here. They 845 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:47,800 Speaker 1: don't like to take action because then there on the 846 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,200 Speaker 1: record actually doing something, and they'd rather just fundraise and 847 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,920 Speaker 1: be a bunch of clowns in the Congress. Okay on 848 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 1: the lost children thing, because this also then turned into 849 00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Trump, Trump is separating families and then 850 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,560 Speaker 1: they're losing the children. Not what's happening. Okay, what is 851 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:10,399 Speaker 1: happening is you've had about immigrant immigrant kids who are 852 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 1: out and are put with adult sponsors. This often happens, 853 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:14,879 Speaker 1: by the way, a lot of kids when they get 854 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,719 Speaker 1: to the border, they actually get passed along to their 855 00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 1: adult sponsors, the unaccompanied miners, that's what or even a 856 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,799 Speaker 1: company miners, that's what ends up happening. They get given 857 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: to an adult sponsor. It's usually a family member. So 858 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,439 Speaker 1: all that's happened here is that h h S has 859 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 1: made follow up calls, has made follow up calls to 860 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 1: UH these immigrant children, and there are about and this 861 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:50,360 Speaker 1: happened last year. There are about that that we're placed 862 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: with sponsors in the United States, And what they found 863 00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,799 Speaker 1: out is that they've had a percentage of them that 864 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 1: did not respond. Right. So this was the New York 865 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: Times rest in This losing track of children arrived at 866 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 1: the border alone is not a new phenomenon. Inspector General 867 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 1: Ports show the federal government was able to reach only 868 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: a four percent of children it had placed, leaving four 869 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:19,279 Speaker 1: thousand one nine accounting for all that means, folks, And 870 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: then everyone's freaking out about this. So Trump, they're losing 871 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 1: the kids. Where are the kids? Are they hiding somewhere? 872 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 1: What's when they when HHS? When government bureaucrats called the 873 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:35,239 Speaker 1: sponsor families, not all of them responded. That's all. This 874 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 1: isn't like missing children, like put up a photo of 875 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: them on the back of a milk cart. No one's 876 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: seen them in years. This isn't that kind of like 877 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,800 Speaker 1: really serious stuff. This is just they didn't respond to 878 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:49,399 Speaker 1: the phone call. Um, maybe because they weren't there, maybe 879 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:55,440 Speaker 1: because they're busy, maybe because they've moved. So they reached 880 00:52:55,520 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 1: eight of the children they had place sixteen per end, 881 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 1: they didn't respond. They're not missing kids. That's just missing 882 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,719 Speaker 1: phone calls. But what's our what's our common theme? Folks? Oh, 883 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 1: that's right. If it's anti Trump, run with the story, 884 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 1: figure out the details later. If it makes the Trump 885 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 1: administration look bad, run with the story, figure out the 886 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,400 Speaker 1: details later. Do you have to run a correction? Do 887 00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,240 Speaker 1: it in the dead of night with no one's paying attention. 888 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 1: That is what they do. And now I think we 889 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 1: finally dug in deep on what's going on at the 890 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: border when it comes to adults and children and separation 891 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:35,120 Speaker 1: and the administration. Who that was. That was some work. 892 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:42,680 Speaker 1: We just did their team. We'll be right back when 893 00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,400 Speaker 1: we went up to Trump Tower to brief then present 894 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,439 Speaker 1: elect and his team on the Intelligent Community Assessment and 895 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: right away. Uh. I think the president has been very 896 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,880 Speaker 1: consistent ever since that anything that casts out on the 897 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 1: legitimacy at his election he has problems with. And so 898 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 1: that was the you know, the bad news, the truth 899 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,320 Speaker 1: to power we were serving up to him. And that's 900 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 1: that's that's been an issue where you know, we have 901 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,080 Speaker 1: alternative facts or relative truth, you know, this kind of thing, 902 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,840 Speaker 1: and that is anathema to anyone that's in the information business. 903 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 1: For me, if you're going to use the word term spy, 904 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 1: which I number have white but anyone, let's assume it's 905 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:32,799 Speaker 1: a valid term to me that suggests using intelligence tradecraft, 906 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: employing an operative who has been formally trained in uh 907 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:43,040 Speaker 1: clandestine collection, uh, someone who's masking their identity, or someone 908 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 1: who is recruiting. And this informant was none of that, 909 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 1: So that to me, the informant is the most benign 910 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: form of intelligence collection that you can do. Look at 911 00:54:56,080 --> 00:55:00,000 Speaker 1: the gymnastics the former d n I is going through 912 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 1: on that one, folks, Um benign intelligence collection? Do we 913 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 1: think there's such a thing as benign intelligence collection? When 914 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 1: the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world are looking 915 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 1: into you, looking at your stuff, is it ever benign? 916 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 1: What nonsense? Now? One thing he said that I will 917 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,080 Speaker 1: admit is is true. I've been saying it for a 918 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,400 Speaker 1: long time. Everyone pretends there's no such thing as spying anymore. 919 00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 1: Spying is what bad people do. That is wrong. The 920 00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 1: intelligence community spies, the c i A spies. These are 921 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,040 Speaker 1: spying organizations. Right, we can say we can call it 922 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 1: intelligence collection, but that's just another way of saying spying. 923 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:45,239 Speaker 1: It's the same thing. We can get into the semantics 924 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,680 Speaker 1: all day long. Right, Even had I think Brennan, who 925 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 1: was the CIA directors segment, we don't steal secrets, he 926 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:56,799 Speaker 1: said that publicly. Yeah, dude, actually you do. This is 927 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 1: when you're intercepting phone calls from around the world. They're 928 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 1: looking at people's emails or whatever. That's stealing information. You're 929 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 1: not like, hey, can I hear your phone call? Like 930 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 1: this is just craziness. But notice how he gets into 931 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,320 Speaker 1: the semantics game of yeah, you know, it's an informant, 932 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,960 Speaker 1: not a spy. Uh so they're running informed they were 933 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,880 Speaker 1: running an informant against the Trump campaign. Can I just 934 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 1: be clear on was there an informant or was there 935 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,760 Speaker 1: not an informant? Because you have people saying Marco Ruby 936 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 1: over the weekend says there was no spine. So is 937 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: this now the talking point they'll use because they'll first 938 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,799 Speaker 1: they'll define away spying like there's really no such thing, 939 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,240 Speaker 1: like we never spy. This country doesn't spy, law enforcement 940 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 1: doesn't spy. In talentcuted isn't spy. So once they define 941 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 1: that away, well of course there's no spine, right because 942 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:48,920 Speaker 1: they've changed the definition. But running an informant at somebody 943 00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 1: to get information to possibly use for a prosecution, Yeah, 944 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,440 Speaker 1: that's a form of spying. And the former Director of 945 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:02,440 Speaker 1: National Intelligence should know that. I think he does know that, 946 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 1: which means that what he's doing right now is just 947 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 1: being dishonest. He's back with you now because when it 948 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,680 Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the funk never stops. 949 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,640 Speaker 1: You're suggesting he's running a pretty fair investigation right now. Correct. 950 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair. I think it's designed to 951 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,400 Speaker 1: to punish the president, to ruin the president, to ruin 952 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,160 Speaker 1: his family, to ruin his businesses, to ruin his friends. 953 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: You think it fair at all? What would be the 954 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:44,000 Speaker 1: reason not to tell people with top security clearances? The 955 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,720 Speaker 1: reason it would quiet down many people who have questions, 956 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:51,200 Speaker 1: like you and like the president. Yeah, well, the obvious 957 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 1: reason is that they didn't have an adequate basis to 958 00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 1: do it. And that's fortified. That suspicion is fortified by 959 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,760 Speaker 1: the fact that every time they tell us they can't 960 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 1: tell us something, they claim it's because of national security. 961 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,240 Speaker 1: And then when the pressure gets ratcheted up and that 962 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 1: stuff gets unredacted, we find out it's got nothing to 963 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:15,320 Speaker 1: do with national security. It's that they're embarrassed by what 964 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: what they've done. So to two points there that came 965 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 1: from two different sources. First, I'll take them in well, 966 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:28,120 Speaker 1: actually i'll take them in order. You had Michael Caputo, 967 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,640 Speaker 1: who's and we need to keep reminding each other of this. 968 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,680 Speaker 1: You need to keep this front of mine. The Mueller 969 00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:41,240 Speaker 1: probe is, if nothing else, catharsis for angry Democrats who 970 00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 1: cannot accept that Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton and became president, 971 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 1: and so as part of their goal for the probe 972 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 1: is just that it exists, that it's painful, that it's expensive, 973 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 1: and that it hurts people around Trump. And we cannot 974 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 1: ignore that because that is one of the reasons they 975 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 1: pushed for this and why they defend it. It's not 976 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 1: because they want to get to the truth. It's because 977 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,640 Speaker 1: they want the process to be the punishment. Okay, Then 978 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,120 Speaker 1: on to Andy McCarthy's point. Our friend Andy McCarthy from 979 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:15,400 Speaker 1: National Review, he was talking on Fox there. We cannot 980 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 1: ignore that. Time and again the FBI plays this game 981 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,560 Speaker 1: where they say, oh, we can't tell you that it's 982 00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,640 Speaker 1: super secret, it's supersensitive, and then we find out more 983 00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 1: information turns out it wasn't super secret sensitive at all. 984 00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,400 Speaker 1: It's just as something they don't want to tell us 985 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 1: that is explicitly forbidden in the federal rules about what 986 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 1: is classified and what is not, and they keep on 987 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,680 Speaker 1: doing it because there's no consequence. There are no consequences 988 00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 1: for overclassification. So one of the ways that government protects 989 00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:55,000 Speaker 1: itself of the bureaucracy that the deep state covers its 990 00:59:55,080 --> 01:00:00,320 Speaker 1: own butt is to overclassify as much as it possibly can, 991 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:07,160 Speaker 1: and specifically to make things classified that no reasonable person 992 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:12,240 Speaker 1: could ever believe would be classified. Case in point, they 993 01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:18,720 Speaker 1: redacted that Andrew McCabe spent seventy thousand dollars on a 994 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:23,120 Speaker 1: conference table for his for his like senior executive FBI 995 01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:28,560 Speaker 1: conference room or whatever. Now, I'm a fan of interior 996 01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 1: decorating in so far as I like a comfy couch 997 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:35,880 Speaker 1: and a big TV to watch. Seventy thousand is a 998 01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 1: lot of money for a table anywhere anytime. Do I 999 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,960 Speaker 1: think that the Russians do? I think the Chinese now 1000 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,560 Speaker 1: have a national security advantage over us because we know 1001 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:51,240 Speaker 1: that Andy McCabe clearly has a tendency to think highly 1002 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 1: of himself as when he was acting FBI director, when 1003 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 1: he was number two at the FBI, and believes that 1004 01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 1: you know, he's earned that taxpayer funded seventy was on 1005 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:04,040 Speaker 1: our table. Of course, the answers, no, not a national 1006 01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:07,440 Speaker 1: security issue. It's an Annie McCabe is a self important 1007 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:12,160 Speaker 1: jerk issue, and they didn't want people to know. So 1008 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:15,320 Speaker 1: when we see that on something that's relatively minor like 1009 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 1: that in the Grand scheme of things. What are we 1010 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 1: to think the other redacted information that's out there or 1011 01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 1: withheld information. I keep going back to this. I hear 1012 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 1: all these stories, I see all these articles about how 1013 01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 1: any day now we're gonna see the really bad stuff 1014 01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,960 Speaker 1: right there. Mueller didn't want to initially share, his team 1015 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 1: didn't want to share with a federal judge the full 1016 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:44,440 Speaker 1: extent the full orders authorization for the Mueller probe. They 1017 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:48,160 Speaker 1: eventually shared it. But what could possibly be in there 1018 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,200 Speaker 1: that is of such high national security value that it 1019 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:59,200 Speaker 1: could not be publicized? So far? The international men of 1020 01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:03,040 Speaker 1: mystery that we're supposed to believe are the justification for 1021 01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:10,080 Speaker 1: this entire year long plus mess. Our Carter Page and 1022 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 1: George Papadopoulis, neither of whom has been charged with espionage, conspiracy, 1023 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,680 Speaker 1: or anything of the kind. Papadopoulos has been charged with 1024 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 1: being caught up in the Muther probe and Lyne, but 1025 01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:30,320 Speaker 1: no no international conspiracy, no espionage, no collusion with Russia. Nothing. 1026 01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 1: And I think that the unwillingness of the FBI to 1027 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:42,560 Speaker 1: share this information is in large part not just about politics. Sure, 1028 01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,000 Speaker 1: it's about that a lot of people in the FBI clearly. 1029 01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 1: Did you know they wanted Hillary to win, They thought 1030 01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 1: she'd win. They don't like Trump, I get it. But 1031 01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:58,120 Speaker 1: on on top of that, they want to protect the bureaucracy. 1032 01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,880 Speaker 1: And this is a very powerful sentiment that you have 1033 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 1: in these large federal organizations. They want they can justify 1034 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to themselves. If it's protecting the institution, 1035 01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:14,000 Speaker 1: then that becomes its own mission. Right when you show 1036 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:15,360 Speaker 1: up and when I was showing up the c I 1037 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:16,760 Speaker 1: c I A day in and day out, you know, 1038 01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,880 Speaker 1: we mission first, mission first, we gotta be all about 1039 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,560 Speaker 1: the mission right, protecting America, giving policymakers the best information 1040 01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,920 Speaker 1: so they can make smart decisions of all that stuff, right, 1041 01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 1: all that good stuff. Rab role, that's why you join. Okay, 1042 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 1: once you're there, once you're in the bureaucracy, once you 1043 01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:38,000 Speaker 1: are a part of the mega state, once of the 1044 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,560 Speaker 1: deep state, but the mega state that is our federal bureaucracy, 1045 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:46,400 Speaker 1: you start to see that protecting your specific tribe within 1046 01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,360 Speaker 1: that larger unit of the federal government becomes its own mission, 1047 01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:53,680 Speaker 1: and one that can be corrosive over time, one that 1048 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 1: can make otherwise very very clear thinking, reasonable and ethical 1049 01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 1: people start to act in ways that are dubious. You know, 1050 01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,520 Speaker 1: they'll they want to protect the bureau, protect the agency, 1051 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:11,320 Speaker 1: protect the department, whatever it may be, and suppression of 1052 01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:15,720 Speaker 1: information to that end becomes very self justifying. Right. Oh, 1053 01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,200 Speaker 1: you know, the public doesn't really need to know this. 1054 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,480 Speaker 1: We keep them safe. This is just gonna be embarrassing 1055 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:23,080 Speaker 1: and difficult for us. I think that's a big part 1056 01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 1: of what's driving the foot dragging over the FBI, because 1057 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,520 Speaker 1: even people that have nothing to do with the whole 1058 01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:36,880 Speaker 1: collusion debacle make believe fiasco. Right. Forget about the Coombys 1059 01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,080 Speaker 1: and the yates Is and the McCabe's and the Structs 1060 01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 1: and all the rest of them for a second. Even 1061 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,760 Speaker 1: other folks at the FBI, I worry, have been brought 1062 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 1: into this mindset of well, look, obviously some shady stuff happened. 1063 01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 1: They were trying to set Trump up. They were trying 1064 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 1: to have a pretext to use spine tools against him. 1065 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 1: But we we were gonna need the FBI tomorrow, in 1066 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 1: the next year, in the next decade, so to the 1067 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:07,440 Speaker 1: extent we can, we gotta protect it. To the extent 1068 01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,920 Speaker 1: we can protect the American people's perception of d O J. 1069 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,040 Speaker 1: We gotta keep some information out THEA and and that 1070 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,680 Speaker 1: I think that's happening a lot here. So it's a 1071 01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:18,760 Speaker 1: variation on oh, we don't want them to know the 1072 01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 1: truth because I let's see the bad things we did. 1073 01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,160 Speaker 1: That's a big part. That's the the page. I mean, 1074 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 1: the uh Yates and McCabe and all them that that's 1075 01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:32,360 Speaker 1: what they're doing. Comey obviously, But there are others that 1076 01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:36,040 Speaker 1: are just like, well, you know, we need to protect 1077 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,640 Speaker 1: our institution. If that means that we play a little 1078 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 1: fast and loose with the information and the truth of 1079 01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,920 Speaker 1: the American people, so be it. Problem with that is 1080 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,680 Speaker 1: it's really not their call, and we really do need 1081 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 1: transparency and we do need the truth. Here there's a 1082 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,440 Speaker 1: uh this is from NBC News quote c I. A 1083 01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:58,360 Speaker 1: report says North Korea won't de nuclearize but might open 1084 01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,760 Speaker 1: a burger joint. Okay, some c I has been wrong 1085 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,280 Speaker 1: in the past, and I used to work there. Let's 1086 01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:06,960 Speaker 1: look at this so called report that NBC has and 1087 01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 1: what's going on with North Korea that's coming up. As 1088 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,840 Speaker 1: we've always said, with moving the embassy from Jerusalem, having 1089 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:16,200 Speaker 1: historic tax cuts, um pulling out of Paris. This President 1090 01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:20,640 Speaker 1: keeps the promise of other presidents. Now this president in 1091 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,000 Speaker 1: that letter last week, I thought really got some kinetic 1092 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 1: energy coing folks all of a sudden said Wow, this 1093 01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 1: may actually not happen, and if we wanted to happen, 1094 01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:32,880 Speaker 1: then we're going to start moving it. Ever since, I'm 1095 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,680 Speaker 1: practically North Korea, South Korea and the United States have 1096 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,680 Speaker 1: been making very positive moves. But let's see what happens. 1097 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,840 Speaker 1: As the President says, if he's satisfied it will go forward, 1098 01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,600 Speaker 1: his number one concern is not prosperity, not economics. Certainly 1099 01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,960 Speaker 1: that's important to him. I'm not suggesting us not, but 1100 01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 1: clearly this has always been about security. Why nuclear weapons, 1101 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,400 Speaker 1: why ballistic missiles, why pointing them out the United States? 1102 01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:01,280 Speaker 1: All because he wants his regime to be secure and 1103 01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:04,120 Speaker 1: stay in power. He's a young man and he's looking 1104 01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 1: out many, many years down the road, and he wants 1105 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 1: this regime to stay in power. Will there be a 1106 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,040 Speaker 1: summit on June twelfth or not between the Trump administration 1107 01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:18,480 Speaker 1: between the United States of America and North Korea. The 1108 01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,400 Speaker 1: answer is, we don't have an answer. We just simply 1109 01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 1: do not know. At this point. A lot of media 1110 01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,959 Speaker 1: attention on this. I was actually over on Cavudo showing 1111 01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:32,200 Speaker 1: Fox News or today on this specific issue where you 1112 01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:38,040 Speaker 1: have Kim Young Choll, who is the vice chairman of 1113 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:42,520 Speaker 1: the Central Committee of the North Korean Communist Party. He 1114 01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:51,200 Speaker 1: is also the former head of their biggest intelligence organization. Uh. 1115 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:55,800 Speaker 1: The I think it's the National Reconnaissance Directorate. Uh. I 1116 01:07:55,880 --> 01:08:00,280 Speaker 1: forget my my North Korean. My North Korean and TELL 1117 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,360 Speaker 1: organizations are rusty. I don't remember exactly which one it is. 1118 01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 1: I think that's right. But he's a guy who's now 1119 01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 1: heading to uh, New York City. I'm sorry. The Reconnaissance 1120 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:16,920 Speaker 1: General Bureau is what North Korea is. Intelligence agency is 1121 01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,240 Speaker 1: called the American and European ones I'm very good on 1122 01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:20,720 Speaker 1: and some of the Mid East ones. But there you 1123 01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:25,760 Speaker 1: have it, the Reconnaissance General Bureau. But Kim Young is 1124 01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,080 Speaker 1: heading to New York City's gonna meet with Secretary of 1125 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,200 Speaker 1: State Pompeo, and they're gonna start talking about some stuff. 1126 01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 1: Here's here's part of what I think is gonna be 1127 01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:41,720 Speaker 1: up for discussion. Hey, North Korea, don't let China use 1128 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:46,160 Speaker 1: you in ways that are against your own interests. This 1129 01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:50,439 Speaker 1: is a a very complicated negotiation over very straightforward things. 1130 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:56,800 Speaker 1: North Korea can either agree to dismantle its nuclear program 1131 01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:02,360 Speaker 1: and be integrated into the international community and have way 1132 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,880 Speaker 1: more economic prosperity than they do, right, you know that 1133 01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:10,960 Speaker 1: just a better forget about prosperity, hey, livable economic situation 1134 01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,840 Speaker 1: compared to what they have right now, or they can 1135 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:18,200 Speaker 1: stay on this path of instability and see if it 1136 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:23,680 Speaker 1: actually leads to war. Right, that's a very quick distillation 1137 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 1: of what's at stake here. What's a play. I think 1138 01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,880 Speaker 1: that Pompeo and whoever else is gonna talk to Kim 1139 01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 1: yong chol. They're gonna be saying, look, don't list, don't 1140 01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,680 Speaker 1: think that China has all of your best interests at 1141 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,679 Speaker 1: heart on this one. Now, China's got all the leverage 1142 01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 1: in the world north Korea. I think North Korea's economy 1143 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:46,680 Speaker 1: is based on trade and important export with China. So 1144 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 1: without China, there really is no North Korea. It would 1145 01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:52,040 Speaker 1: cease to be. It would be in a state of 1146 01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 1: economic and literal starvation. I think there's also why you've 1147 01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,360 Speaker 1: got the US now saying, hey, you know what, China, 1148 01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:04,320 Speaker 1: maybe we will put fifty billion dollars of of tariffs 1149 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,880 Speaker 1: on the table. You know, maybe we will start charging 1150 01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:11,679 Speaker 1: a twenty five import tax on certain goods that come 1151 01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 1: from China. And by the way, that could be the 1152 01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,519 Speaker 1: beginning of a whole lot more in terms of terroriffs. 1153 01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:20,680 Speaker 1: Just a few days ago, the administration was saying the 1154 01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:22,800 Speaker 1: Trump administration was saying, you know what, We're gonna ease 1155 01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 1: off on China with all the stuff We're gonna you 1156 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,280 Speaker 1: know where, We're gonna try to give these negotiations a 1157 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,479 Speaker 1: chance and let's see how things go with not just 1158 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,800 Speaker 1: on the Chinese side with trade, but also with the 1159 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,720 Speaker 1: North Koreans. And now you've got a bit of whiplash 1160 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,040 Speaker 1: because Trump and his team come along, they say, oh, 1161 01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:41,880 Speaker 1: hold a hold on a second. China doesn't want to 1162 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,720 Speaker 1: be constructive and helpful here. We're gonna have to bring 1163 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 1: back we'll we'll bring back those tariffs, and then you'll 1164 01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,120 Speaker 1: have the specter of trade war once again, which I 1165 01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,559 Speaker 1: think is still overblown a lot of people's minds. But 1166 01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm not saying there's there's 1167 01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:58,479 Speaker 1: no way we get to that. I'm just saying I 1168 01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:01,840 Speaker 1: don't think it's likely we get to that. But how 1169 01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:05,000 Speaker 1: would this, How would this go? You know, what would 1170 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:09,960 Speaker 1: it look like for us to do a a process 1171 01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:14,880 Speaker 1: to de nuclearize the Korean peninsula. You have a General 1172 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,120 Speaker 1: Jack Keane, he's a Fox News analyst that's going He 1173 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,400 Speaker 1: gave a pretty good one to three on this today. 1174 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,200 Speaker 1: So just I'll let you hear from him and I'll 1175 01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:23,439 Speaker 1: break it down a bit more. Play five. I think 1176 01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,439 Speaker 1: everyone now China, North Korea, and even South Korea know 1177 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,040 Speaker 1: that this president is not going to be played after 1178 01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:30,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the shenanigans has been going on in 1179 01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,320 Speaker 1: the last the last couple of weeks. Here's what they 1180 01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,080 Speaker 1: would want by a plan One? Is there full accounting 1181 01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,840 Speaker 1: of all your nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles? Can we 1182 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:43,280 Speaker 1: see that too? Are you willing to open up that 1183 01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:48,320 Speaker 1: entire disarming and dismantling process so we have full verification 1184 01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:51,720 Speaker 1: of the entire process? And number three, well we do 1185 01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:53,800 Speaker 1: this in a reasonable amount of time? Are you gonna 1186 01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 1: drag this out over many years, way beyond the president's 1187 01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:59,960 Speaker 1: term of office so that it's more of a promise 1188 01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:07,160 Speaker 1: than it is a delivery? All right, Well you heard 1189 01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:09,880 Speaker 1: it from the general. There we'll see. But one thing 1190 01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:11,960 Speaker 1: you can definitely pick up from this is that it's 1191 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a long process. They're not gonna be quick 1192 01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:19,960 Speaker 1: no matter what happens here, no matter what the early 1193 01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 1: indicators are, a lot of ways this thing could go 1194 01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:26,920 Speaker 1: go south or sideways, and that's something we have to 1195 01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:30,240 Speaker 1: keep in mind as well. What do I think is 1196 01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,599 Speaker 1: gonna happen here? Hi, It is a coin flip right 1197 01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:37,759 Speaker 1: now that the summit even happens. It's hard to imagine 1198 01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:41,760 Speaker 1: a world for me where North Korea will give up 1199 01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:44,719 Speaker 1: its snooks because I do believe that the paranoia about 1200 01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:50,320 Speaker 1: outside invasion and the hyper militarism of the regime. And 1201 01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:54,840 Speaker 1: remember the regime is is a a dynasty of of 1202 01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:59,479 Speaker 1: the Kim's right, Kim Il sung, Kim Jong Il, Kim 1203 01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,760 Speaker 1: Jong On. It's only been three guys, not that many. 1204 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:08,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, this uh latest visitor um y'all, 1205 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 1: Kim Young chol. He is one of those officials within 1206 01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:16,000 Speaker 1: the Korean regime, North Korean regime that spans all three 1207 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,080 Speaker 1: of the chemis before him. So he worked for the 1208 01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,360 Speaker 1: founder of North Korea, the son of the founder and 1209 01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:25,479 Speaker 1: the son of the son of the founder. But we 1210 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:30,800 Speaker 1: will have to see I am I am withholding some 1211 01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:32,599 Speaker 1: judgment here, because I know it's gonna be very tough. 1212 01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,800 Speaker 1: I think that when you look at regimes like this one, 1213 01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:40,080 Speaker 1: any transfer of power isn't just an issue of betraying. 1214 01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,920 Speaker 1: They feel like betraying it would betray the country's interest, 1215 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,559 Speaker 1: North Korea's interest, but also everyone who's at the top 1216 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,720 Speaker 1: of the power pyramid would lose power and might lose 1217 01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:54,040 Speaker 1: their lives. You know, Coups are dangerous and messy things, 1218 01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,760 Speaker 1: and once a government doesn't once in a government that 1219 01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,720 Speaker 1: has had an iron grip loosens it, there's always a 1220 01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,400 Speaker 1: fee or that. You know, they don't get to just 1221 01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:05,559 Speaker 1: live out their days on the chan's lise in a big, 1222 01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,879 Speaker 1: fancy apartment, but they end up heading to the guillotine, 1223 01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,360 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. I think that's a 1224 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,360 Speaker 1: part of this whole North Korea situation as well. I 1225 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:14,559 Speaker 1: gotta keep that in mind all in our three is coming. 1226 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 1: We're talking about the Starbucks today, these Starbucks uh racial 1227 01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:22,880 Speaker 1: bias training that happened. To give you some thoughts on 1228 01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:27,400 Speaker 1: that one. Also a letter from a Looney English teacher 1229 01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,800 Speaker 1: that's a response to a form letter from Trump. I mean, 1230 01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,439 Speaker 1: they're now making news stories out of people that are 1231 01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 1: basically yelling into their closets or yelling out and uh 1232 01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,800 Speaker 1: into the woods with no one around them and saying 1233 01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:41,040 Speaker 1: this is a new story, it's crazy. And then we'll 1234 01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:43,040 Speaker 1: get into some roll call. Obviously, so much much more, 1235 01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,720 Speaker 1: come and stay with me.

That's 1241 01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:05,800 Speaker 1: where Global Verification Network comes in.

Leave no stone unturned. 1251 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,559 Speaker 1: We all have had a life experience, and at that 1252 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 1: life experience has provided us with a level of understanding 1253 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,040 Speaker 1: that may be different than the level of understanding you have. 1254 01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:55,360 Speaker 1: And it doesn't have to be about race. It could 1255 01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:59,040 Speaker 1: be about ethnic background, sexual orientation, your station in life. 1256 01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:01,920 Speaker 1: But so ill about trying trying to provide a level 1257 01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,320 Speaker 1: of empathy and compassion, a new level of sensitivity. So 1258 01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:11,439 Speaker 1: has President Trump's rhetoric personally on race exacerbated racism in America? 1259 01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,080 Speaker 1: I would say on a personal level, it probably has 1260 01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:18,599 Speaker 1: given license two people to feel as if they can 1261 01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:24,160 Speaker 1: emulate and copy the kind of behavior and language that 1262 01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:29,439 Speaker 1: comes out of this administration. There you have Howard Schultz 1263 01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:34,559 Speaker 1: CEO of Starbucks or is he chairman of star Wars whatever? 1264 01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:39,400 Speaker 1: Close enough, big big wig over at Starbucks, who is uh, 1265 01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:44,400 Speaker 1: you know, doing the whole virtue signaling routine. Now with 1266 01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:51,080 Speaker 1: this training um that that happened today, eight thousand locations 1267 01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:57,600 Speaker 1: across the country closed today for racial bias education. It 1268 01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:03,640 Speaker 1: is expected to cost star Bucks twelve million dollars in revenue, 1269 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,920 Speaker 1: and according to NBC, here owners of small coffee shops 1270 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:11,559 Speaker 1: from Philadelphia to Sacramento see both a an opportunity and 1271 01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:17,840 Speaker 1: a chance to emphasize their value to the community. So 1272 01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:22,920 Speaker 1: there you have it. You had this training that came 1273 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:28,840 Speaker 1: after a couple of incidents of alleged racial bias, and 1274 01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,759 Speaker 1: I just want to I just want to know. I mean, everybody, 1275 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:35,599 Speaker 1: come on, okay, I'm I'm sitting here. I'm thinking to myself, 1276 01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:42,040 Speaker 1: what could anyone learn in three hours of of training 1277 01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:46,920 Speaker 1: about about bias? What are they gonna teach? I really 1278 01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:48,760 Speaker 1: mean this, think this one through. What are they going 1279 01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,920 Speaker 1: to teach baristas? You know, people who are earning a living. 1280 01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,719 Speaker 1: Honorable they show up, they provide a service, earning a living, 1281 01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:00,679 Speaker 1: giving people coffee and food and snacks and things, selling 1282 01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:04,439 Speaker 1: them food and coffee and snacks. But they're gonna learn 1283 01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 1: about racial bias in a few hours, and that's really 1284 01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,800 Speaker 1: going to change anything. I can just tell you that 1285 01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,280 Speaker 1: I would be curious to see what the actual statistics are. 1286 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:19,680 Speaker 1: But Starbucks are very from my own personal experience of 1287 01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:23,000 Speaker 1: drinking coffee for a very long time, Starbucks a very 1288 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,720 Speaker 1: diverse workforce. You don't get the sense that this is 1289 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,479 Speaker 1: a place that very well, it's a progressive company, right, 1290 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:33,479 Speaker 1: The company culture is very progressive. They were going to 1291 01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:37,760 Speaker 1: go out there and hire refugees your call. So they 1292 01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:39,800 Speaker 1: like to wait in on politics and always from the 1293 01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:44,960 Speaker 1: perspective of the left, but racial bias education in an afternoon. 1294 01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,639 Speaker 1: You see, I'm always told by the social justice left 1295 01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:56,439 Speaker 1: that racism is a very you know, multifasted and complicated issue. 1296 01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:03,760 Speaker 1: There's subconscious bias, there's more overt biased, their systemic racism, 1297 01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:07,040 Speaker 1: the's historical racis. There's only different things. And you said 1298 01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,920 Speaker 1: to me, well, Buck, maybe Starbucks wants to teach its 1299 01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,040 Speaker 1: employees about all those things as much as it can. 1300 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:16,120 Speaker 1: I just say, but doesn't it seem like kind of 1301 01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:19,519 Speaker 1: a big show, you know, is isn't It doesn't have 1302 01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 1: the feeling of this is all for a show with 1303 01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:26,120 Speaker 1: one afternoon they're gonna shut down and do this why 1304 01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:29,800 Speaker 1: And this comes after they had that whole policy which 1305 01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,639 Speaker 1: I was early in skewering, and now many many others 1306 01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:38,280 Speaker 1: decided that obviously it was gonna be a disaster where 1307 01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:40,440 Speaker 1: they're just gonna let you come in use the facility, 1308 01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,559 Speaker 1: not just the bathroom, just sitting Starbucks, don't buy anything, 1309 01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:45,719 Speaker 1: you have to do anything. That's gonna be their policies. 1310 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,120 Speaker 1: And they said, well, you know, no no sleeping, no 1311 01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:53,160 Speaker 1: drug dealing and and probably like no robbing old ladies 1312 01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:57,639 Speaker 1: or you know, urinating on the on the cappuccino machine. 1313 01:19:57,720 --> 01:19:59,240 Speaker 1: And you know none of that either, right, I mean, 1314 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,639 Speaker 1: there there's something things that we all understand. Okay, fine, 1315 01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:05,719 Speaker 1: Starbucks had a draw lines somewhere, but this just feels 1316 01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:09,720 Speaker 1: highly to me, highly un serious and and I think 1317 01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:15,840 Speaker 1: you can't leave out of this that this is a 1318 01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:19,200 Speaker 1: branding exercise for Starbucks now to you. Now, this company 1319 01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:22,160 Speaker 1: has decided, you know, there's there's a there's a commercial 1320 01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:25,400 Speaker 1: aspect to virtue signaling. To day decided, well, yeah, we're 1321 01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:28,760 Speaker 1: gonna shut down all these stores, um, and but we're 1322 01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:32,479 Speaker 1: gonna have people like everybody in the media, including you 1323 01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 1: know Bucks, exit yours truly, we're gonna talk about what's 1324 01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:36,680 Speaker 1: going on in our stores and talk about how we're 1325 01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:39,960 Speaker 1: gonna have more of this unconscious or racial bias, not 1326 01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,400 Speaker 1: unconscious necessarily that. I'm sure they touched on that too. 1327 01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:48,160 Speaker 1: You know, I had a fair amount of progressive bias 1328 01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 1: training when I was a resident counselor in college. We 1329 01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:52,880 Speaker 1: had to do it. You know, we had a couple 1330 01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:57,000 Speaker 1: of weeks where they bring in these people, diversity educators 1331 01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:01,959 Speaker 1: and just all different manner of expert and and speaker 1332 01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:08,280 Speaker 1: from a left wing perspective on race relations, gender relations, 1333 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,600 Speaker 1: transgender relations, and all of it. Now, this was a 1334 01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:14,840 Speaker 1: while ago. I'm sure things have evolved quite a bit 1335 01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:18,519 Speaker 1: since then, but much of it felt very, very hollow 1336 01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:20,120 Speaker 1: to me, and I als always felt like it was 1337 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:26,200 Speaker 1: the things that they say in these racial biased training modules, 1338 01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:27,680 Speaker 1: the ones that I've seen and by the way, had 1339 01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,400 Speaker 1: you know I had this when I worked in the government. 1340 01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:32,080 Speaker 1: You know, there was it's huge efforty of the what 1341 01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:36,080 Speaker 1: the I forget what they call it, but the federal 1342 01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:40,560 Speaker 1: government has a whole diversity and inclusiveness initiatives and programs. 1343 01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:43,880 Speaker 1: It is all over the place. I have never sat 1344 01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:46,400 Speaker 1: in one of these classes or sat through these modules. 1345 01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,000 Speaker 1: And I didn't get a chance to do the Starbucks 1346 01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:49,920 Speaker 1: training today, although I would have been very curious. I 1347 01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,400 Speaker 1: had other stuff to do, but it would have been 1348 01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:54,760 Speaker 1: interesting to be a fly on the wall, were able 1349 01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,120 Speaker 1: to sign on and say, hey, I wonder what they're 1350 01:21:56,120 --> 01:22:01,160 Speaker 1: actually teaching people about them there. But I've never sounded 1351 01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:03,920 Speaker 1: one of these trainings and said to myself, you know what, Yeah, 1352 01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,679 Speaker 1: I never thought of it that way. It's a lot 1353 01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:11,919 Speaker 1: of well, you know, okay, it's either obvious or honestly 1354 01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,160 Speaker 1: the obvious stuff. You know, Treat people like individuals. Don't 1355 01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:19,360 Speaker 1: be a racist, don't be a jerk, don't be insensitive 1356 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:24,120 Speaker 1: or unnecessarily you know, aggressive or terse with all this 1357 01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:28,559 Speaker 1: stuff that I just feel like normal people in this 1358 01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:32,559 Speaker 1: country are are aware of the people who have biased 1359 01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,040 Speaker 1: I always find who really do have an issue with 1360 01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:38,280 Speaker 1: other races or other and you know, other religions or 1361 01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:41,519 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. They hear this stuff and they're 1362 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:45,200 Speaker 1: just like, yeah, well that's all they rejected all so 1363 01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:47,880 Speaker 1: I just don't see it it reaching anybody. And they 1364 01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:49,599 Speaker 1: did this when I was in college, and this when 1365 01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:51,360 Speaker 1: I was the government, and I have to have all this, 1366 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,800 Speaker 1: you know. I keep saying unconstant because that's the one 1367 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:56,400 Speaker 1: that really gets you where. It's like, well, you may 1368 01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:59,679 Speaker 1: not think in racist terms, you may not take racist action, 1369 01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:03,920 Speaker 1: but may still be a racist. I think yourself. By 1370 01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:07,800 Speaker 1: the way, uh, the with Schultz, the CEO of US 1371 01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:11,519 Speaker 1: or whatever, chairman of Starbucks saying that you know, Trump 1372 01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:15,400 Speaker 1: has made racism worse, it's definitely note. You know, I 1373 01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,920 Speaker 1: think people put way too much emphasis on what one 1374 01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:23,760 Speaker 1: president would do good or bad for racism. I mean, Obama, 1375 01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:28,639 Speaker 1: first black president, very historically momentous for you know, for 1376 01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:31,959 Speaker 1: that and a whole bunch of reasons didn't end racism. 1377 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:33,799 Speaker 1: And in fact, there were a lot of really ugly 1378 01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:37,280 Speaker 1: racial incidents that occurred under the eight years of Obama's presidency, 1379 01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:42,439 Speaker 1: including the whole uh anti police movements that were burning 1380 01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:46,400 Speaker 1: down neighborhoods. And so let's not pretelling the president is 1381 01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:49,559 Speaker 1: the driver of this one way or the other. So 1382 01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:51,680 Speaker 1: that is that's how I feel about that. Anyway, we've 1383 01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:53,840 Speaker 1: got a lot more teams stay with me. So we 1384 01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:56,120 Speaker 1: had an all hands meeting at my new venture down 1385 01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:58,439 Speaker 1: here in Washington, d C. We got a big staff 1386 01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:00,920 Speaker 1: of folks. But as I looked at on the room today, 1387 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,720 Speaker 1: you know what, I saw a few folks that we 1388 01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:08,120 Speaker 1: got specifically from zip recruiter. That's right. When I was 1389 01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,559 Speaker 1: out there trying to find the very best and I 1390 01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,719 Speaker 1: didn't want to spend a lot of time and energy, 1391 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:16,040 Speaker 1: in fact, waste time and energy sifting through all different 1392 01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,759 Speaker 1: kinds of resumes. I went to zip recruiter dot com. 1393 01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm a user, and I can tell you it has 1394 01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:24,880 Speaker 1: been phenomenal in terms of the quality of candidates, the 1395 01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,920 Speaker 1: speed and efficiency that it gets me, those candidates couldn't 1396 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,080 Speaker 1: be any easier.

And now I have colleagues that are with 1401 01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:45,839 Speaker 1: me here in the office every day that we got 1402 01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:48,679 Speaker 1: using zip recruiter.

Have you ever heard 1404 01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:57,960 Speaker 1: of a reparation's happy hour? I guess you have now. 1405 01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:01,240 Speaker 1: But it's a real thing. So I'm thing that just 1406 01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:07,120 Speaker 1: happened last week. In fact, in Portland, Oregon. The reparations 1407 01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:10,759 Speaker 1: happy hours reported here about the New York Times invited black, brown, 1408 01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:16,360 Speaker 1: and Indigenous people to a bar and hand them ten 1409 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:20,400 Speaker 1: dollar bills as they arrived, a small but symbolic gift 1410 01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:28,360 Speaker 1: mostly funded by white people who are asked not to attend. Okay, 1411 01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:30,840 Speaker 1: more more specifics on this in a second. But this 1412 01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:33,240 Speaker 1: is a real thing, folks. This is something that happened 1413 01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:39,920 Speaker 1: and being covered in national newspaper. Indigenous people, what is 1414 01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:43,800 Speaker 1: that supposed to mean. Does indigenous people include You know, 1415 01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:47,960 Speaker 1: if we're talking about the indigenous people in the United Kingdom, 1416 01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:50,880 Speaker 1: do we refer to them white people in the UK? 1417 01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:53,880 Speaker 1: Is that? Well? What are we talking about here? I 1418 01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:56,320 Speaker 1: mean what indigenous mean? No? I really mean this that 1419 01:25:56,360 --> 01:26:00,240 Speaker 1: the terminology that they will use is always very spec effic, 1420 01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:06,360 Speaker 1: very important to them indigenous in this country. Okay, So 1421 01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:12,479 Speaker 1: we've now gone beyond native American, which is also a 1422 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,800 Speaker 1: problematic term because the Natives originally had nothing to do 1423 01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:19,519 Speaker 1: with the whole concept of America and Amerigo Vespucci and 1424 01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:25,080 Speaker 1: the European colonial movement, right, so they call them native Americans. 1425 01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:28,240 Speaker 1: Is But now we're just saying indigenous people. But are 1426 01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:31,280 Speaker 1: only non white people able to fall into the term 1427 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:35,280 Speaker 1: indigenous people? I don't know if anyone has an answer 1428 01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,760 Speaker 1: for that. I guess if we're talking about like Stockholm, 1429 01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,640 Speaker 1: then the indigenous people stretching back as far as we 1430 01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:44,120 Speaker 1: know would be white. But I just I think it's 1431 01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,439 Speaker 1: interesting that they're there. This is an evolution the term. 1432 01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:48,280 Speaker 1: I'm seeing it more and more. Okay, Anyway, I don't 1433 01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:49,799 Speaker 1: want to get too hung up on the whole indigenous 1434 01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:53,680 Speaker 1: people thing, but it's not worthy. But see we get 1435 01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:58,040 Speaker 1: this reparations happy hour. You have people showing up, they're 1436 01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:03,759 Speaker 1: given ten dollars, and white people are asked not to attend, 1437 01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:06,160 Speaker 1: but are asked to give money for the happy hours. 1438 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:13,600 Speaker 1: So this is a racially and intentionally racially segregated, UH 1439 01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:18,000 Speaker 1: activists function. I'm trying to think of even how to 1440 01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:24,680 Speaker 1: describe this. That's to raise awareness about financial compensation for 1441 01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,840 Speaker 1: black people. But now, see here's what and by this 1442 01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:29,800 Speaker 1: is I'm reading you from what they say here. This 1443 01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:32,840 Speaker 1: is from the Times. Uh. They hope the event, in 1444 01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:36,400 Speaker 1: addition to building community, would call attention to reparations, the 1445 01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,120 Speaker 1: concept that black people should be financially compensated for the 1446 01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:45,080 Speaker 1: generations of trauma that preceded them. Oh, by the way 1447 01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:49,760 Speaker 1: of well, sixty eight percent of Americans opposed reparations as 1448 01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:54,920 Speaker 1: of polling, and uh of white people oppose it. Fifty 1449 01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:57,760 Speaker 1: eight percent of black people in the poll support it. 1450 01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:03,759 Speaker 1: But here's before I even get into reparations as a topic. 1451 01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,200 Speaker 1: Notice how they have this reparation they call it. This 1452 01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:11,759 Speaker 1: is the term reparations happy hour. White people not allowed 1453 01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,519 Speaker 1: or not ask not to attend. This is very similar, 1454 01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:17,599 Speaker 1: folks to the the day of absence that happened at 1455 01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,759 Speaker 1: Evergreen State College. That got so much attention when white 1456 01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 1: students were told just stay off campus, You're not welcome 1457 01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:27,639 Speaker 1: here on this day. Some people I thought that was strange. 1458 01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:33,200 Speaker 1: You could even say it was not particularly inclusive or tolerance. 1459 01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:37,240 Speaker 1: And yeah, that got a lot of natural attention. But 1460 01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:40,280 Speaker 1: I think they've continued to or at least the Evergreen 1461 01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:45,760 Speaker 1: School Evergreen administrators wanted to keep doing that. But the 1462 01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:50,040 Speaker 1: reparations happy Hour is a is more specific to a policy, 1463 01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:52,320 Speaker 1: which is the policy of reparation, that there should be 1464 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:58,639 Speaker 1: financial compensation for black people today in this country because 1465 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:05,639 Speaker 1: of the legacy of oppression and tyranny under slavery. Now, 1466 01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:11,719 Speaker 1: before I dive too deeply into that idea, I would 1467 01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:15,160 Speaker 1: also note that brown and this is a quote from 1468 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:17,560 Speaker 1: the piece Brown and Indigenous people were invited to the 1469 01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:22,240 Speaker 1: reparations happy Hour. So do they get reparations? To do 1470 01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:25,640 Speaker 1: Native Americans or as they say in people, do they 1471 01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:30,559 Speaker 1: get reparations? When they say brown? I think activists, well, 1472 01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:33,439 Speaker 1: I don't know. Actually, the left, I think defines brown 1473 01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:38,920 Speaker 1: as not black and not white, and I believe brown 1474 01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:45,440 Speaker 1: includes South Asian for example, but it also includes Latino. Uh, 1475 01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:48,519 Speaker 1: it's a very I mean, brown is a and you 1476 01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:50,800 Speaker 1: could say this about I guess any skin color that 1477 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:54,200 Speaker 1: we designated. It's a very imprecise term, or at least 1478 01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm not clear on where brown stops and starts with 1479 01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:03,479 Speaker 1: the outer boundaries of quote brown people would be. But 1480 01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:08,200 Speaker 1: would Latinos be a part of a reparations movement If 1481 01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:11,120 Speaker 1: they're not a part of reparations and they certainly there's 1482 01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:15,200 Speaker 1: no legacy of slavery with Latinos in this country, why 1483 01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:19,600 Speaker 1: are they at this event? You see? It feels very 1484 01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,439 Speaker 1: um It's obviously meant to not just raise awareness but 1485 01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:25,679 Speaker 1: to be provocative, I think, but to to get attention 1486 01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:27,400 Speaker 1: from places like the New York Times from me on 1487 01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:29,479 Speaker 1: the other side of the political aisle here on this show. 1488 01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:33,800 Speaker 1: But these ideas that the left runs around, but they're 1489 01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:37,479 Speaker 1: not particularly well thought out. In fact that many cases, 1490 01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:41,240 Speaker 1: it feels like they have not been thought out at all. 1491 01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:47,639 Speaker 1: And when we're looking at reparations that and reparations events 1492 01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:51,840 Speaker 1: like this that include non black Americans in them, I 1493 01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:54,840 Speaker 1: have to I just have questions like, well, who gets 1494 01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:57,519 Speaker 1: reparations and who doesn't. And then for the specifics of 1495 01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:03,720 Speaker 1: this specifics of the policy, Well, what would be sufficient reparations? 1496 01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:06,200 Speaker 1: Who's going to pay for it? By the way, where 1497 01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:09,560 Speaker 1: will the money come from? And do you get reparations? 1498 01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:12,080 Speaker 1: What if you're an African migrant to this country, immigrant 1499 01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:14,400 Speaker 1: to this country in the last five years? To you 1500 01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:16,439 Speaker 1: do you know you don't qualify for reparations? So is 1501 01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:19,960 Speaker 1: it a lineage issue? How long have you had to 1502 01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:25,120 Speaker 1: be None of these, none of these actual implementation concerns 1503 01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:28,559 Speaker 1: are ever addressed by the community who talks about this 1504 01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:31,000 Speaker 1: on the left, at least from what I've seen. I mean, 1505 01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:34,240 Speaker 1: maybe there's some plans out there that are more specific 1506 01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:37,920 Speaker 1: than I'm not aware of, but it feels like it's 1507 01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:40,640 Speaker 1: un serious as a policy matter to me. It just 1508 01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:44,600 Speaker 1: feels more like it is it is used as a 1509 01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:50,720 Speaker 1: wedge on the left as a means of of antagonizing 1510 01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:55,240 Speaker 1: political adversaries, as a means of getting attention, and of 1511 01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:59,080 Speaker 1: separating and dividing people. And that's what this talk about 1512 01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:02,479 Speaker 1: reparations seems to turn into. Every time it comes up, 1513 01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:06,719 Speaker 1: the left will discuss it. There'll be some virtue signaling, 1514 01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:09,360 Speaker 1: you'll have the you know, the Chris Hayzes and the 1515 01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:11,640 Speaker 1: Ezra Kleins of the world. You know, they'll say, oh, 1516 01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:13,559 Speaker 1: you know, we should take this very seriously, or maybe 1517 01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:15,360 Speaker 1: they're in favor of it. I don't even know, but 1518 01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:19,120 Speaker 1: they'll certainly talk about it. Those are MSNBC guys for those, 1519 01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:21,200 Speaker 1: one of them at Vox now. But same, it's like 1520 01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:26,320 Speaker 1: the same thing, uh tanahassee Coates is the among the 1521 01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:31,000 Speaker 1: most celebrated Black American authors on the left today. He's 1522 01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:36,160 Speaker 1: very much uh well has has at least made open 1523 01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:40,320 Speaker 1: cases for reparations in the past. So it gets talking, 1524 01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:42,800 Speaker 1: but it never goes anywhere. And I hear about it 1525 01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:47,680 Speaker 1: and it feels like it's just another version of the 1526 01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,519 Speaker 1: virtue signaling you see from people on the left. And 1527 01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:52,720 Speaker 1: also a way of separating it. It's a way of saying, well, 1528 01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm not racist because I'm for reparations. What would it 1529 01:32:56,439 --> 01:32:58,240 Speaker 1: what would it look like, what would it mean? What, 1530 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:03,000 Speaker 1: how would it be completed? How would we actually do this? Uh? 1531 01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:04,800 Speaker 1: In terms of reparations and the answers that they don't 1532 01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:09,800 Speaker 1: know that no one really knows. Um. I think it's 1533 01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:14,240 Speaker 1: I think it's actually immoral because what you're talking about 1534 01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:20,040 Speaker 1: is taking property from people today who have no fault 1535 01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:23,439 Speaker 1: in the matter and giving proper after you've seized it. 1536 01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:26,800 Speaker 1: So you're talking about seizing private property and giving it 1537 01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:33,360 Speaker 1: to people based upon the oppression that their ancestors received. 1538 01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:36,559 Speaker 1: And you have to start asking questions like, well, why 1539 01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:40,640 Speaker 1: does this only apply then to uh African Americans in 1540 01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:42,599 Speaker 1: this country? Or does it only apply to African Americans 1541 01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:47,479 Speaker 1: in this country? Um? Do we have other reparations movements 1542 01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:49,160 Speaker 1: that we have to reckon with? And then we start 1543 01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:53,519 Speaker 1: to wonder who does the accounting here? It all falls 1544 01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:55,160 Speaker 1: apart once you start to look at it and you 1545 01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:58,000 Speaker 1: try to implement this thinking. But I get the sense 1546 01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:01,200 Speaker 1: that it's just about just like the this reparation is 1547 01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:04,040 Speaker 1: happy hour, it's just about bringing it up. I think 1548 01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:07,439 Speaker 1: it's toxic, I really do. I think the the the 1549 01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:11,800 Speaker 1: ideas that it promotes and the results that it will 1550 01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:14,680 Speaker 1: create our our toxic. But reparations happy hour. It's now 1551 01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:17,120 Speaker 1: a thing that people are doing. I have a feeling 1552 01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:21,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna see more of it too. But you know, 1553 01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:26,000 Speaker 1: there's Trump arrangement syndrome out there. Is not unusual at all. 1554 01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:28,879 Speaker 1: I see a lot of it these days. But sometimes 1555 01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:32,520 Speaker 1: what I see now is the Trump arrangement syndrome magnifies 1556 01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 1: what is a non story into a national news story 1557 01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:39,080 Speaker 1: just because someone takes a petty swipe at Trump of 1558 01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:41,040 Speaker 1: some kind of another. I'm gonna tell you about a 1559 01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:48,679 Speaker 1: an English teacher who seems rather rather impressed with herself 1560 01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:51,639 Speaker 1: for no apparent reason, who wanted to take the White 1561 01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:54,680 Speaker 1: House to task on a form letter that's coming up. 1562 01:34:56,680 --> 01:35:01,240 Speaker 1: You know, there's fake news and then there's non news. 1563 01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:04,439 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is, I've seen a 1564 01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:10,400 Speaker 1: habit recently of people or or let's just say news organizations, 1565 01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:13,599 Speaker 1: although people who work for the news organizations, who will 1566 01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:16,519 Speaker 1: decide that they're going to make something that is clearly 1567 01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:21,400 Speaker 1: not newsworthy a news item. And I have to stop 1568 01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:24,560 Speaker 1: and say to myself, well, hold on a second, Uh, 1569 01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:28,639 Speaker 1: what exactly is pushing this? Why would a major news 1570 01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:30,880 Speaker 1: organization pick up some of these stories? And what you 1571 01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:38,000 Speaker 1: see as a uh a tie in as a overall 1572 01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:42,759 Speaker 1: characteristic of this trend is you've got people who hate 1573 01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:48,120 Speaker 1: Trump so much that they'll essentially report on the scrawls 1574 01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:52,639 Speaker 1: in a bathroom of arrest stop if it's mean about Trump. 1575 01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:57,920 Speaker 1: They really have nothing nothing to govern them from just 1576 01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:02,680 Speaker 1: running with anything that's a great example of this. And 1577 01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:04,640 Speaker 1: I tweeted out earlier today, I was like, this is 1578 01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:11,240 Speaker 1: not news, okay, but you have Yvonne Mason, who received 1579 01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:15,680 Speaker 1: a form letter from Trump. And Mason, who was a 1580 01:36:15,760 --> 01:36:20,679 Speaker 1: retired school teacher in Atlanta, quote thought the riddle. Thought 1581 01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:23,719 Speaker 1: the letter was so riddled with errors that she marked 1582 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:27,240 Speaker 1: it up, posted a photo of it on Facebook, and 1583 01:36:27,280 --> 01:36:32,080 Speaker 1: sent the corrected version back to the right House, the 1584 01:36:32,200 --> 01:36:39,439 Speaker 1: White House, UM and the New York Times. I thought 1585 01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:43,800 Speaker 1: that this was a story. I mean, the New York 1586 01:36:43,840 --> 01:36:47,040 Speaker 1: Times reported on this, folks. I need somebody to to 1587 01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:51,760 Speaker 1: explain to me how anyone could believe that this was 1588 01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:56,519 Speaker 1: somehow newsworthy at a lab at a national newspaper letter. 1589 01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:59,000 Speaker 1: And this is the most crappy and you're probably buck 1590 01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:00,799 Speaker 1: we're even talking about it because is it's so crappy 1591 01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:04,920 Speaker 1: and boring. This woman writes back a form letter to 1592 01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,200 Speaker 1: the president. I mean, this is up there with reporting 1593 01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:11,400 Speaker 1: on what somebody wrote on on their like cardboard sign 1594 01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:14,479 Speaker 1: in the subway proclaiming the end of the world is near. 1595 01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean, this is really this is just loser stuff 1596 01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:21,519 Speaker 1: from New York Times. CNN reported on it too, and 1597 01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:26,320 Speaker 1: on top of that you have that some of what 1598 01:37:26,439 --> 01:37:30,599 Speaker 1: she thinks need to be corrected are probably the New 1599 01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:33,320 Speaker 1: York Times put a put a photo up of it. 1600 01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean, they really ran this wasn't just a little 1601 01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:38,120 Speaker 1: side news item. They really tried to go with this. 1602 01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:44,599 Speaker 1: And she corrects things that aren't really even wrong, right, 1603 01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:49,880 Speaker 1: She's just she thinks she's folks. She's looking at this 1604 01:37:49,960 --> 01:37:53,160 Speaker 1: like she's a teacher, and she's trying to uh tell 1605 01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:55,760 Speaker 1: Trump or tell the person that wrote this letter. It's 1606 01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:57,240 Speaker 1: a form letter from the White House, not a letter 1607 01:37:57,280 --> 01:38:00,680 Speaker 1: from Trump. But she's correcting Trump's why House, not just 1608 01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:03,800 Speaker 1: on grammar, but as though she's supposed to grade this thing. 1609 01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:08,559 Speaker 1: There's a sentence, for example, about a rule banning devices 1610 01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:11,559 Speaker 1: that turned legal guns into illegal machine guns. She writes, 1611 01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:20,000 Speaker 1: explain rule. Um, no, that's not how this works. And 1612 01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:23,120 Speaker 1: then at the end she writes, for example or in 1613 01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,960 Speaker 1: response the letter is thank you again for writing as 1614 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,760 Speaker 1: president one of my top priorities the safety of America's youth. 1615 01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:34,880 Speaker 1: Who are the future leaders of our great nation? Um? 1616 01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:37,880 Speaker 1: And she writes, OMG, this is wrong, I guess because 1617 01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:42,800 Speaker 1: the capitalization of nation there. But there's a couple of things. First, 1618 01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:44,320 Speaker 1: of all, who the heck cares? The second of all, 1619 01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:48,360 Speaker 1: the White House style guide is actually different than as 1620 01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:50,240 Speaker 1: I understand I've never worked in the White House. Is 1621 01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:54,240 Speaker 1: different than the style guide you have for uh, for others, 1622 01:38:54,320 --> 01:39:01,080 Speaker 1: for AP for drunken white if I remember those guys. Um, 1623 01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:03,600 Speaker 1: so this is all just crap, she writes at the 1624 01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:08,439 Speaker 1: very top. Have you tried grammar and style check? And 1625 01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:14,360 Speaker 1: she she's correcting their their capitalization this letter? Okay, So 1626 01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,519 Speaker 1: why is the New York Times reporting on this? There's 1627 01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:20,719 Speaker 1: a whole piece on this, folks, and seeing in reports 1628 01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:23,280 Speaker 1: on it as well. I mean, this woman is is 1629 01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:26,000 Speaker 1: really engaged in what I think you could call a 1630 01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:30,000 Speaker 1: cry for help. You're correcting a form letter that wasn't 1631 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:34,120 Speaker 1: sent to you for any particular reason, right, she writes 1632 01:39:34,160 --> 01:39:36,519 Speaker 1: in with her views on gun safety. She gets this 1633 01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:40,720 Speaker 1: form letter in response? You know? Does she also respond 1634 01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:43,880 Speaker 1: when she like does a customer feedback survey to the 1635 01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:46,320 Speaker 1: thank you email like you know that says thank you 1636 01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:48,400 Speaker 1: for taking our service, She's like, well tell me this, 1637 01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:53,880 Speaker 1: mr survey man. No, there isn't a survey man or woman. 1638 01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:58,839 Speaker 1: It's an electronic program. It's it's not really even a courtesy. 1639 01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:03,200 Speaker 1: It's just a sheen that's sending this to you. Uh, 1640 01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:06,880 Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing. This is reporting like it's a story, 1641 01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:08,919 Speaker 1: and it just goes to show you that Trump's arrangement 1642 01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:12,719 Speaker 1: syndrome is not just for individuals. The Trump derangement syndrome 1643 01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:17,960 Speaker 1: of one person will then be magnified by the anti 1644 01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:22,400 Speaker 1: Trump media complex to pretend that it's a story. How 1645 01:40:22,439 --> 01:40:24,360 Speaker 1: different is this really from them saying, you know, we 1646 01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:27,880 Speaker 1: saw someone write something on a bathroom wall about how 1647 01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,519 Speaker 1: terrible Trump is this president. We're just bringing you the news, sir, 1648 01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:34,880 Speaker 1: just the facts, sir. I didn't need to know about 1649 01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:39,360 Speaker 1: this lady's bizarre and delusional response to a White House 1650 01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:43,080 Speaker 1: form letter, but the biggest news outlets in the country figured, yeah, 1651 01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:46,320 Speaker 1: Trump can't spell yeah. Even though Trump didn't write, this 1652 01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:50,040 Speaker 1: kind of forced you to ask the question when you 1653 01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:54,200 Speaker 1: look at all this, who's really the idiot here? It's 1654 01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:58,320 Speaker 1: not Trump. The show ain't over yet, folks. Here's where 1655 01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:18,240 Speaker 1: you take over, keeping it real, Team Buck. It's time 1656 01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:25,320 Speaker 1: for roll call. Yeah, Tom for some roll call.

I don't have any 1667 01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:01,519 Speaker 1: commercial breaks. Um, I can pretty much say whatever is 1668 01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:02,840 Speaker 1: on my mind. I don't have to worry about any 1669 01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:06,559 Speaker 1: of that FCC stuff. Although no, it will be keep 1670 01:42:06,560 --> 01:42:09,240 Speaker 1: it clean lyrics obviously, but I'm just saying some of 1671 01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:11,479 Speaker 1: the jokes occasionally that I would like to make on air, 1672 01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, is that a little too much of the 1673 01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:18,120 Speaker 1: uh scatological? A little little too much potty humor for 1674 01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:21,200 Speaker 1: a nationally broadcast radio show. I'm just saying the podcast 1675 01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:23,639 Speaker 1: is gonna be a little more experimental, a little more 1676 01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:26,720 Speaker 1: laid back, and I'm very much hoping you'll all check 1677 01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:28,240 Speaker 1: it out. The Freedom Hup with Buck Sex and it's 1678 01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:29,720 Speaker 1: not up yet, you can't find it yet, but I 1679 01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:31,479 Speaker 1: just want you all to know about it. All right, 1680 01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:35,599 Speaker 1: let's get to your thoughts. William up first. Okay, I've 1681 01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:39,120 Speaker 1: got a way that the NFL NFL players can express 1682 01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:43,559 Speaker 1: themselves and not lose more fans. Stand for the flag, 1683 01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:49,679 Speaker 1: but never talk about football in an interview again? Huh what? 1684 01:42:50,680 --> 01:42:52,640 Speaker 1: Never talked with football again. I'd be interested to hear 1685 01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:54,720 Speaker 1: what they have to say. To be honest, all they 1686 01:42:54,720 --> 01:42:57,840 Speaker 1: do in interviews talk about how great they are. Anyway, 1687 01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:01,600 Speaker 1: these are all allege educated men with what appears to 1688 01:43:01,640 --> 01:43:05,160 Speaker 1: be a strong constitution. I'd love to hear their grievances 1689 01:43:05,240 --> 01:43:08,240 Speaker 1: in a sane, constructive manner. I'd love to have them 1690 01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:11,320 Speaker 1: stand for the flag and talk about the plight of 1691 01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:17,360 Speaker 1: black men in America today. Um hm hmm. I can't 1692 01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:20,000 Speaker 1: tell if William is even I'm doing this in real time. 1693 01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:22,559 Speaker 1: If I think he's being I don't know if he's 1694 01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:25,479 Speaker 1: being sarcastic or serious. So I'm just gonna say, Okay, William, 1695 01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:29,439 Speaker 1: thank you for your note, and there you go. Um 1696 01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:31,559 Speaker 1: I really I couldn't tell from the way he wrote it, 1697 01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:35,000 Speaker 1: and it was rather long. So next up is Dan. 1698 01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:39,400 Speaker 1: All right, all right, hey, Buck, love your show. I 1699 01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:43,320 Speaker 1: voted for Hillary. I got over the election results in 1700 01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:48,080 Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, I volunteered in Pennsylvania bringing Hillary voters. 1701 01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:53,160 Speaker 1: My volunteer position was terminated abruptly. Love your show again. 1702 01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:57,960 Speaker 1: Lots lots and lots of hours behind the mic talent. Okay, 1703 01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:00,880 Speaker 1: thank you, Dan, It's very nice of you. I appreciate it. 1704 01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:05,720 Speaker 1: Thanks for the words of support. Thomas. Hey, what's up, 1705 01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:08,640 Speaker 1: buddy Buck. Don't you think it's time for you and 1706 01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:11,000 Speaker 1: all the other conservative TV and radio show host to 1707 01:44:11,080 --> 01:44:14,799 Speaker 1: stop referring to the politicians and activists and their campaign 1708 01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:17,920 Speaker 1: to destroy this country as being on the left and 1709 01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:21,599 Speaker 1: call them what they really are, radical socialists. They don't 1710 01:44:21,680 --> 01:44:23,640 Speaker 1: hide it anymore, So why do you and all the 1711 01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:28,599 Speaker 1: others continue to portray them as misdirected liberals or the left. 1712 01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:33,040 Speaker 1: It's pretty obvious when they openly opposed defending our borders, 1713 01:44:33,320 --> 01:44:36,639 Speaker 1: were collectively collectively to undermine the country and defend terrorists 1714 01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:39,080 Speaker 1: like M. S. Thir teen, and they have no interest 1715 01:44:39,080 --> 01:44:41,799 Speaker 1: in the US as a sovereign nation. Call them radical socialist, 1716 01:44:41,880 --> 01:44:45,840 Speaker 1: that's what they are. Well, Thomas, you know there's there's 1717 01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:48,439 Speaker 1: some people on the left who are radical socialists. In fact, 1718 01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:52,240 Speaker 1: I spoke to a big Bernie Sanders supporter today, not 1719 01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:55,120 Speaker 1: just support, somebody very involved with Bernie Sanders, And I 1720 01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:57,080 Speaker 1: asked him, I said, look, are you guys, do you 1721 01:44:57,120 --> 01:45:01,439 Speaker 1: think that you've rehabilitated for the purposes of the American electorate, 1722 01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:06,840 Speaker 1: the concept of uh, you know, democratic socialists and they 1723 01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:10,760 Speaker 1: think that they have, which I don't know if you 1724 01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:12,679 Speaker 1: know what the polling would show on that. My guess 1725 01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:14,600 Speaker 1: is that they haven't. And I guess is that that 1726 01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:18,760 Speaker 1: is not, in fact, uh, an accurate portrayal of the 1727 01:45:18,760 --> 01:45:23,320 Speaker 1: America of American public opinion on the notion of democratic socialists. 1728 01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:26,280 Speaker 1: But I could be wrong on that. It's a crazy 1729 01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:30,439 Speaker 1: world we live in. But the left covers, my friend Thomas, 1730 01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:37,000 Speaker 1: a broad range of things, and that I think would 1731 01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:39,840 Speaker 1: include some ideologies that you couldn't well, I know, it 1732 01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:44,320 Speaker 1: would include some ideologies that you couldn't necessarily accurately describe 1733 01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:48,040 Speaker 1: as radical socialists. Right, so there's a span on the left. 1734 01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:52,120 Speaker 1: You know, there are well what we call moderate democrats. 1735 01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:55,800 Speaker 1: Maybe you never hear that term. There are some uh 1736 01:45:56,120 --> 01:46:00,920 Speaker 1: next up here we have Matthew wrote, we wrote in 1737 01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:03,280 Speaker 1: a movie quote. You know, we haven't been doing as 1738 01:46:03,280 --> 01:46:06,479 Speaker 1: many movie quotes on Fridays because I feel like that 1739 01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:08,320 Speaker 1: was for a lot of us that was getting to 1740 01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:11,320 Speaker 1: know you thing right For I was new here in 1741 01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:14,559 Speaker 1: this role, on this on this time slot in so 1742 01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:16,679 Speaker 1: many different radio stations across the country, and I felt 1743 01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:18,559 Speaker 1: like it was for folks who were new to the 1744 01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:22,200 Speaker 1: team away for us to get acquainted. Although I do 1745 01:46:22,280 --> 01:46:24,680 Speaker 1: love my movie quotes, but if you guys think it's 1746 01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:26,559 Speaker 1: something we should bring back, I'm happy to do it, 1747 01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:30,640 Speaker 1: maybe even doing more of them via written in versus 1748 01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:32,280 Speaker 1: calling in, because I know a lot of you listen 1749 01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:34,760 Speaker 1: to the podcast. You're listening a little bit delayed later on, 1750 01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:38,400 Speaker 1: so that's an option as well. But anyway, Matthews movie 1751 01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:41,680 Speaker 1: quote for Friday is, uh, maybe you're not keeping up 1752 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:43,759 Speaker 1: on current events, but we just got our our asses 1753 01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:47,960 Speaker 1: kicked pal and shields high. He wrote, Oh yes, that 1754 01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:52,120 Speaker 1: is from Aliens, which is a fantastic movie. Holds up 1755 01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:55,360 Speaker 1: very well, I think, and it's still really really fun 1756 01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:00,719 Speaker 1: to watch. Uh, let's see Paul next up here, you know, Buck, 1757 01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:04,080 Speaker 1: I think Congress should spend of their time in their 1758 01:47:04,120 --> 01:47:08,040 Speaker 1: own jurisdiction. With today's technology, all members of Congress can 1759 01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:10,240 Speaker 1: video chat with other members to get the business of 1760 01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:12,960 Speaker 1: the people done, this would have the representatives in the 1761 01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,720 Speaker 1: places with their the people they represent. It should cut 1762 01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:19,040 Speaker 1: down on lobbying and bring more attention to their own 1763 01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:22,120 Speaker 1: districts rather than to themselves. I think this would better 1764 01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:28,880 Speaker 1: represent the people. Also, term limits are a must. Um well, Paul, Yes, 1765 01:47:29,720 --> 01:47:31,439 Speaker 1: I agree with term limits. I think we'll never We're 1766 01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:33,639 Speaker 1: never going to get them. But it's a really nice idea. 1767 01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:38,240 Speaker 1: I think in principle it's absolutely correct. And as the 1768 01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:44,479 Speaker 1: Congress effectively telecommuting, I like that idea too. But I 1769 01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:47,240 Speaker 1: think a lot of members of Congress they're all, oh, yeah, 1770 01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:49,519 Speaker 1: I'm so happy to be back in my district. It's 1771 01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:52,160 Speaker 1: so great here. But they like the swamp. The swamp 1772 01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:54,400 Speaker 1: is where they can have the fancy steak dinners, they 1773 01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:57,719 Speaker 1: can hang out with the lobbyists. They they feel important here. 1774 01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:00,920 Speaker 1: And you know, you think about most Americans don't even 1775 01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:04,160 Speaker 1: know who their congress went. A congressman or congresswoman is right, 1776 01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:06,679 Speaker 1: So I think there are a lot of swamp dwellers 1777 01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:08,639 Speaker 1: that don't like leaving here. And then they go back 1778 01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:10,639 Speaker 1: to their district and they act like they're all about that. 1779 01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:13,560 Speaker 1: But I don't know. Although I did have a conversation 1780 01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:17,519 Speaker 1: offline recently with a member of Congress and his grasp 1781 01:48:17,760 --> 01:48:23,000 Speaker 1: of the demographics and just the rundown of numbers for 1782 01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, uh, age, race, ethnicity, average income, population distribution. 1783 01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:33,320 Speaker 1: This guy was encyclopedic in his knowledge of his district, 1784 01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:35,519 Speaker 1: which a lot of you're probably saying, yeah, buck, because 1785 01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:38,879 Speaker 1: he wants to get reelected. True, but I was impressed 1786 01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:41,000 Speaker 1: with his grasp of of the facts. It was like, Oh, 1787 01:48:41,040 --> 01:48:46,439 Speaker 1: this guy really pays attention. So uh next up here 1788 01:48:47,200 --> 01:48:52,880 Speaker 1: we have whoops, Sorry, Nathaniel, Hey Buck, I love my 1789 01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,559 Speaker 1: daily trips to the Freedom Hut. I'm seeing a lot 1790 01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:59,800 Speaker 1: about immigrant families split up, children lost, etcetera. Is this 1791 01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:03,439 Speaker 1: you what in the law allows this needs some info 1792 01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:08,519 Speaker 1: before besides the liberal uh Trump's arrangement syndrome crowd Well, Daniel, 1793 01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:10,840 Speaker 1: hopefully I've I've addressed this in enough detail today to 1794 01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:14,439 Speaker 1: answer the question. But it's much more. First of all, 1795 01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:15,960 Speaker 1: it's not just a Trump thing, and second of all, 1796 01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:20,960 Speaker 1: it's much more complicated then. Oh Trump wants parents and 1797 01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:25,679 Speaker 1: babies separated from each other at the border, So here 1798 01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:31,720 Speaker 1: we go. Um, Monica wrote hug your news person day. 1799 01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:35,519 Speaker 1: Husband of Monica would hug all the girls on Fox News, 1800 01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:40,800 Speaker 1: but sorry not you. Shields High. Hey, I'm very huggable, 1801 01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:44,240 Speaker 1: but you know no one has to hug me. I 1802 01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:47,080 Speaker 1: didn't know that hug your newsperson Day happened again this year. 1803 01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:50,720 Speaker 1: I didn't. I was not aware that that was a 1804 01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:57,160 Speaker 1: thing that happens. So yeah, Dale. Next up here, he writes, Hey, Buck, 1805 01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:01,479 Speaker 1: really appreciated your segment about the self phones at meal time. 1806 01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:04,400 Speaker 1: It annoys me to no end. I don't know how 1807 01:50:04,439 --> 01:50:07,120 Speaker 1: you feel about reference TV shows, but as this one 1808 01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:10,120 Speaker 1: is now defunct, it may not make a difference. Chip 1809 01:50:10,240 --> 01:50:14,120 Speaker 1: and Joanna gains a fixer upper. H G TV fame 1810 01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:17,759 Speaker 1: started up a cafe in Waco, Texas, and put pouches 1811 01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:21,320 Speaker 1: beside each table for patrons to place their cell phones 1812 01:50:21,439 --> 01:50:24,639 Speaker 1: as they dine. I think there's a major backlash going 1813 01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:26,760 Speaker 1: on regarding the cell phones at meal time. Thank you 1814 01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:31,799 Speaker 1: for flagging this, Dale, Well, buddy, I totally agree, and 1815 01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:34,040 Speaker 1: and I it's something that I'm I'm working on. I 1816 01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:35,720 Speaker 1: don't pretend to be perfect, but I'm trying to get 1817 01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:38,439 Speaker 1: better at it. And it's one of those things where 1818 01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:41,800 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be annoyed when other people do it, 1819 01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:43,800 Speaker 1: you really have to start with your own house, right, 1820 01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:46,280 Speaker 1: start with yourself on it. And so I try to 1821 01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:50,800 Speaker 1: be pretty cell phone free at meals and be very 1822 01:50:50,840 --> 01:50:52,719 Speaker 1: if I have to check my phone, be very discreet 1823 01:50:52,720 --> 01:50:57,439 Speaker 1: about it and quick and not habitual. Right, not numerous times, 1824 01:50:57,400 --> 01:51:01,519 Speaker 1: So I gotta pick up my phone now. Not acceptable? Uh. 1825 01:51:01,680 --> 01:51:03,679 Speaker 1: As to h GTV. By the way, I do love 1826 01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:09,000 Speaker 1: some of these shows where they're like, you know, Bob 1827 01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:11,720 Speaker 1: and Tania are like looking for a house under three 1828 01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:15,160 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year and they want beach front 1829 01:51:15,200 --> 01:51:18,400 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, let's see what they could get, right, Uh, 1830 01:51:18,600 --> 01:51:21,400 Speaker 1: house Hunters, I guess is that the one.
