We'll talk about that and 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.160 how some are trying to make this a First Amendment issue. 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:28.240 Also some photos of children in detention at my immigration 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.760 centers over the weekend that had a lot of media 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:35.080 interest until all of a sudden they didn't. Plus a 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:39.880 senior North Korean former intelligence official on his way to 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.600 New York City to kick start what could be a 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:48.040 restarted summit on June twelve. That and much more coming up. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.320 This is the bus Sexton Show, where the mission or 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:56.520 mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence, 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:02.040 Make no mistakes America Ready to a great American again? 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:12.600 The buck Sexton Show begins. No, Welcome to the buck 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.600 Sexton Show, everybody. Great to have you here with me. 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:20.120 As old We very much appreciate your time, appreciate that 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.840 I got a chance to be with all of you. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:26.320 Find patriots once again near and far. I'm here in 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:30.640 the swamp, live from the swamp as I as I 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.399 tend to be these days. I will give you more 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.320 details on that as soon as I can. Still waiting 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:38.760 for the all clear on it. I think it will 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:43.280 be probably now next week when the official announcement comes out. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.320 Some of you probably have already figured out what's going on. 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:49.000 Why I'm down here in the swamp, but it's not officially. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:50.760 I mean, and some of you might have even read 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.440 it in some places. Can neither confirm nor deny what 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.800 has been written in say the Washington Post about what 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.760 I'm doing right now. But nonetheless, there are some there's 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:01.600 some stuff to to get to, and we will get 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.840 to it. I don't plan on spending too much time 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.520 today of our show. I find that we have so 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.880 much to get to of substance, so much that is 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.840 worth our our effort and energy and thought processes. That 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:24.040 something that's very obvious and straightforward and clear cut, we'll 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.040 talk about it, but not something that we have to 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.720 spend too much time on. And that is what happened 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:36.240 with Roseanne today. ABC has canceled the reboot of Roseanne's 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:40.640 show because, in case you didn't see it, as she 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:51.320 wrote something a very openly overtly racist about about Valerie 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:57.280 Jarrett specifically, So she's done. It's it's all over. I mean, 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.400 the show is is, and I think the show at 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.800 one point I had eighteen million viewers, so this was 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:07.760 going to be they expect a big money maker for ABC. 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:14.160 And she was dropped. She was dropped by her talent agency. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.280 She's the show has been dropped. I mean, this is 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:23.840 this is complete and utter career self immolation by by 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:31.320 Rosanne Barr. And it's in no way surprising given what 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:37.480 she said. It's not not a surprise. And the tweet 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.479 and this is from Fox news dot com. Uh, there 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:45.239 was a politically charged tweet she sent linking Chelsea Clinton 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:51.080 to donor George Soros, and a racially charged tweet saying Jarrett, 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.840 who is African American and born in Iran, is like 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.919 the Muslim Brotherhood. And Planet of the Apes had a 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:03.760 baby end quote. That's it. You're you're done, and you 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.520 know you're Roseanne. You're done. There there, You're you're fired. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.040 There's nothing, There's no way around it. There shouldn't be 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.800 any way around it. We live with the consequences of 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:19.960 our actions. I'm seeing some out there in social media 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.040 commentary land. Some people say, well, it's a it's a 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.560 First Amendment issue. No, I take you to exactly where 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:33.480 I did with the NFL's policy on kneeling during the anthem. 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.640 Not that these are similar situations, but I'm just saying, 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:40.520 with the free speech episode that I used to illustrate 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.839 how a private employer has to be able to set 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:47.719 boundaries and there can't be zero standards for speech and 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.159 conduct in in the workplace. As I said to you, 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.279 does anyone really think that you could walk up to 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.159 your boss, as much fun as it may be for you. 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.320 Although I'm sure some of you think your boss is 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.599 a lovely person um and perhaps more perhaps all of 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.880 you think you're boss a lovely person, but I don't 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.160 believe that any of you are under the impression. I'm 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.080 certainly not under the impression. And I can walk up 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:14.200 to my employer and say and say whatever I want. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.039 I mean, curse him out or curse her out, tell 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.440 him or her what I really think of of that person, 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.640 and just let it rip, and then walk away and 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.760 be like, well, you know, I was just expressing my 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.920 First Amendment rights. The First Amendment only applies to government 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.760 action as a function of law. We always separate this 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.200 out because that's important, right. It's a different thing. You know. 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.560 The government cannot come in and say, hey, Roseanne, uh, 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.640 you know we're we're now gonna find and we're now 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.800 gonna punish you even more and send you to prison 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.000 or something because of your racist week government can't do that. 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:49.840 And that's now. I will note that there are some 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:54.640 people who think that the First Amendment doesn't protect hate 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.080 speech or racist speech. I think those people are wrong, 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.880 and you know that that's another component of this debate, 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.039 this discussion. As I told you the the guy who 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.719 was on the Long Island railroad recently, which I was 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.320 actually on. UH, I was on that railroad this past weekend. 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:14.440 Side note. UH, that guy said really nasty racist stuff, 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.679 but I didn't commit a crime. And when they started 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.440 to say, well, it was racial menacing or something, No, 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:26.000 there was an argument between a jerk and UH, I 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.120 think two women and he said things he shouldn't say. 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.400 He'll be publicly shamed forks. It was all on video. 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.760 But you can't threaten to lock people up for that. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.880 Private employer is different. Private employer can make decisions about 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.520 you based on your conduct that are that. This is 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.720 separate from UH. This is separate from the issue of 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.880 whether the government can intervene based on the content of 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.120 your speech or your activism or whatever it may be. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.760 And you know, anyone who wants to sort of test 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.240 this theory out, is there a job you think in 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.360 America right now? Where you could walk around and just 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:05.040 say the most racist thing imaginable and face zero consequence. 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:09.080 I think the answer is obviously no. In fact, we 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.160 really have the other issue in this country, which is 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.760 now you have people who are getting in trouble for 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.480 of alleged racial incidents or things that are much more 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:22.360 in a gray zone on the borderline, not clear, not intentional. 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.480 But that doesn't mean that there's no such thing as 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.080 two you know, two racists in this case, two racist 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.640 for not just TV, but you know, any any job 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.040 or profession. Right, there's gonna be consequences, and she has 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.680 now faced the consequences, and and that's that. I would 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.520 just note a few more things about this, and like 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.319 I said, by the way, if any of you have 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.400 more thoughts you want to add on to this, if 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.840 you think I've there's a part of this that I'm missing, 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.520 or there's something else that you I would like to 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.719 add intoor discussion eight four four nine buck eight four 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:57.920 or four nine to eight to five. I'm just say 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:03.760 this rose in Um, I feel I feel badly. Valerie 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.319 Jarrett's already uh spoken on the issue. By the way, 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.040 I don't know if do we have do we have 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:12.600 that audio producer Brandon, and she's we don't. I don't 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.520 think if we get it we can play it maybe later. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.240 But I heard the audio and she just said, look, 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:21.280 you know, racism is real, and it was racist and 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:25.280 nothing surprising. Um. And I think she's likely to just 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.040 want to know, move on with her life, as she should. 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.640 Uh you know where Zan has already been fired. The 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.680 show has been canceled. I feel badly, and actually Valley 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.640 Jarrett said, you know, other people don't have friends and 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.880 allies who come to their defense immediately, so you know, 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.520 I mean, Valery Jarrett's a prominent public person with a 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:48.600 lot of you know, public relations firepower at her disposal 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:53.600 as we've seen today. Other people don't have that. But 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.920 I feel badly for the I'm assuming the people that 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:02.000 had nothing to do this tweet who lost their jobs. 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.400 You know, a show like this gets canceled, people will 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:10.520 have jobs also. Fellow actors that appear with her in this, 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.360 you know, this may have been really a big, big 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.720 break in their career. It may have been something that 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.600 and now they're all kind of tainted by this too, 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:21.160 even though they didn't, you know, they had nothing to 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.199 do with this this is Rosanne tweeting herself, you know, 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:27.720 late at night. So I feel badly for them. And 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:32.360 then just I've said this so many times before for 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.960 a lot of people, you know Twitter, Twitter gets people 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.079 into trouble, you know, Twitter, people don't they don't think 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.160 through what they're gonna write, they don't think through how 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.920 something will come across. And in some cases it's just 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:50.520 a window into a person's mind that it is not 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.800 it is not to their benefit that the public knows 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.120 what they think. I think that's what that's what we 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.520 had here. I mean that's you know, there are closed 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.559 there are jokes that are close calls, there are jokes 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.240 that are misconstrued. There are sometimes when you say, okay, 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.199 somebody could have said that and you know it's off 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:10.880 the cuff. Or with Rosanne, this this was this wasn't 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.920 just over the line. This was across the you know, 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.760 the red line. I mean this is ah, there's a 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.000 no go zone and and she she went there and 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.760 she's suffering the consequences. I know. Much more on that, Uh, 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.640 I think that really covers it. This is now dominating, 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.160 dominating the news coverage for the day. I mean, this 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:33.360 is a twenty four hour Roseanne a thon. Now, as 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.240 a result of this, a lot of people on the 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.880 left are going to say that this is an indicative 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:43.040 of the realities of of racism. You know, racism today 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.040 it's much more prevalence. So that's going to be certainly 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:49.720 be a part of this discussion. UM, left wing activists, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.240 a lot of people will just be pointing at this 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.880 and saying, see, it really reminded me actually a little 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:59.880 bit of the um meltdown that I forget it he 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.600 played Cramer on Siginfel. I forget his Michael Richards, Thanks Brendan. 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.320 Michael Richards had if you remember when he was a 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.880 stand up where he just he just went into just 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:15.280 like racial hatred mode up on stage out of nowhere. Um, 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.920 and you know that guy has never been the same, understandably, 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:23.079 So you know, so this is Uh, They're gonna continue 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.760 talk about this, But I don't think there's much much 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.560 more to take away from other than yeah, there's still 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.959 people that say very dumb racist things. And I had 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.440 Herman Kane on right before me on Fox and he said, 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.040 you know that he said that he doesn't believe and 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:42.559 this is what Herman Kane said that Roseanne is a racist, 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:49.880 but what she wrote was definitely racist. Well, I'll let 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.280 Mr Kane let Mr Kane's quote speak for itself there 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.959 on that one. Um, And with that, I want to 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.000 get to a whole bunch of other policy issues today, 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.079 other things that are just up on the radar. We 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.760 should be talking about the Starbucks training that happened today 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.480 they shut down for a few hours. What I really 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:10.560 think about that A reparation's happy hour. Talk about that 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.080 in the third hour. North Korea obviously it is going 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.160 to be part of our discussion today and and certainly 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.960 will spend some time on what is going on at 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:24.040 the border with parents being separated from their children, and 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:29.080 people are very heated over whether this is a a 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.679 new Trump initiative. There are photos that are making the 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.600 rounds among journalists, are getting shared. A lot of stuff 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:35.960 going on there at the border I want to talk 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:40.439 to you about. And oh yes, also of course Russia 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.800 spying and all that stuff. It's getting worse and worse 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:47.520 for the other side. Uh. They they're really getting desperate here. Um, 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.000 I'm seeing analysis now are people saying, well, you know, 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.439 we'll just never really know what happened here. Because classified, 0:13:56.040 --> 0:14:01.280 no such things, super duper classified in in all cases 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.560 even the president can actually get to this information. That doesn't. 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.439 That's not how it works. So if they're hoping you 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:15.080 just hide in the oh it's also classified, uh, that's 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.959 not gonna work. That's that's gonna be an issue for them. 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.240 And we'll get into that spy gate stuff coming up 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.160 here in just a few minutes. Eight four four eight 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:44.120 fo to five much more coming. Stay with I think 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.160 we have to turn into a teaching moment. I'm fine. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.560 I'm worried about all the people out there who don't 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.120 have a circle of friends and followers who come right 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.040 to their defense. The person who's walking down the street 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.600 mining their own business and they see somebody cling to 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.840 their purse or water across the street. For every black 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.640 parent I know who has a boy who has to 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.400 sit down and have a conversation, but talk, as we 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.120 call it, and those as you say, those ordinary um 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:15.400 examples of racism that happened every single day. That was 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.600 Valerie Jared's statements. So I told you we would play, 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.200 and there you have it. We got a couple of callers. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.480 I want to talk to Roseanne and then we will 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:25.840 move on to the issue of parents being separated from 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.640 children at the border. What's really happening here? What's not 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:33.200 so much social media? Dare I say fire and fury 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.520 over this one? Uh? Over the past weekend. But we 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.320 have Denver calling in from Houston. One day, we'll have 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.200 Houston calling in from Denver. Good to talk to you. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.200 How you doing a Buckshel brother Shields. Hi, thank you 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.720 for calling. Oh your sir. Uh. What I want to 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:54.280 mention is about the Roseanne issue. You know, obviously that 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.920 was a pretty harsh comment that she made, but you know, 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.680 at the end of the day, and she considered a comedian. Yeah, 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.920 but there have to be standards, you know. I look, 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.600 I'm very I'm very open to the idea that people 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:09.200 should get a second chance, but this you also have 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:14.920 to enforce some standards. And her her joke was it 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.000 was you know what I mean, It was just so 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.160 there are there's a place where it's silver line. Right. 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.320 There's a difference between telling your boss like I thought 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.160 your presentation was bad and telling your your boss to 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.160 go blank himself, like one of them is gonna get 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.920 you fired. You know what I mean exactly? But you 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.760 watch all the stand up comedians, they're African Americans out there. 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.359 They have shows like ABC, NBC and all those programs. 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.040 They can stand up there and make harsh comments about 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:42.600 whites and nothing has ever said. That's that's a double 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.280 that's an issue that I'm talking about. They're allowed to 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.840 still go on their programs say whatever they want to say, 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.600 attack whoever they want to attack, but nothing's ever said 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.600 about that. Well, look, you know, Denver, this is where 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.160 this is where you get into. You have you have 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.760 a you know, a legacy of slavery in this country, 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.080 which it's very very real and still very it's still 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.800 a very painful part of our history. People would also 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.800 describe how, you know, the the African American community in 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:13.040 this country is still uh still oppressed. There's racism is 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:14.600 still real. I mean, these are things that you'll hear 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.560 all the time. But just because I think some people 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.800 exploit those kinds of dynamics for their own political game 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.880 doesn't mean they're not real dynamics. And and I think 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.600 that there, I think it's understandable that the African American 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.520 community and in fact, in fact, I'd say it's to 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.159 be expected the African African American community is going to 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:39.760 be more sensitive on racial jokes directed at them, then 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.959 say the white or or just non African American community 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.920 in this country would. So I don't think these are 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.440 I don't think there's a straightforward comparison, is what I'm 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.160 trying to say. Um, and I and and and if 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.119 you gave me, you know, if you gave me something 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.879 where you know, we could look at the specifics of 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.240 one comment that one comedian made, I could say, Okay, 0:17:58.280 --> 0:17:59.919 well we'll look at but we're speaking and kind of 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:04.040 broad generalities. But but Denver, I do appreciate you calling in. 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:05.880 I want to get to Mike in Pennsylvania because we're 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.160 gonna move on from this topic afterwards. Mike, thanks for calling. 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:12.040 Oh Mike dropped, Okay, fair enough? Um, yeah, you know, 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:18.919 I uh, you know, I just you know, I know 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.600 people are gonna say that there's one comment and you know, okay, 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:28.960 can't she apologize? And it brings the she's in the 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:32.960 media business, she's had quite a career up to this point, 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:38.400 but she's a bad representation for ABC's brand at this point. 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.719 And and they're they're gonna it's a it is a 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.720 business decision to people are saying it's a it's an 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.199 it's what's right decision, which I think is fair, but 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:51.160 it's also a business decision. There are places that are 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:55.000 just gonna be too um it's two one. There are 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:59.480 comments that are unf that are too unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:05.000 professionally speaking, Um, you know, personally, you can always ask 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.080 for forgiveness to you you from your community and from God, 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.600 and you know, move on as a person. But professionally 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.480 there are things that go too far. That's all I 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:15.080 got on that. I don't really have much more to 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.520 add to it other than other than that, although I did, 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:24.159 uh really want to get into this immigration situation in 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.680 the border, which I think is very, um, very interesting, 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.960 largely because the way the media initially thought it was 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:36.320 a huge, huge story, specifically so they could bash Trump, 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:39.960 and then the reality was more complicated than what they 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.320 had initially expected and then things change. We'll get to 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.760 that and and uh and also the latest on spy Gate. 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:57.600 That's all coming up. He's holding the line for America 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:03.360 buck sex in his back. So we had a holiday weekend, obviously, 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:07.400 and I wanted to take some time and I did, 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.639 and I was away with with Miss Molly and her 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:15.720 family and her dog Harold, or as I have taken it, 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.960 calling him had rolled because he's so cute. Uh. He 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.680 is a boxer pit bull mix and he's a very 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.560 he's a very robust fellow. He likes to likes to 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:28.720 jump up on the on the couch or on the 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.840 chair and snuggle with you and forgets that he's you know, 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:35.399 about seventy seventy pounds of of muscle and teeth. But 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.159 he's very cute, very cute fellow. So I took some 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:39.960 time away this weekend and it was nice. So it 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:41.679 was a lot of rain where where I was, I 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.880 think it was nice. Another Chicago would looked like people 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.639 were wearing walking around in bating suits and getting a 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:50.120 tin and the whole East Coast was just like a 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.200 monsoon practically out there. So I spent a lot of 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:55.760 time indoors, read, read, finished off a couple of books, 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:57.600 which maybe this Friday i'll talk to you about some 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.840 of the interesting stuff from them, some good reads to 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.440 share with all of you. But this came up on 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:11.879 my radar, this story about how Trump is the administration 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.600 that he leads. There's such monsters when it comes to 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:20.560 illegal immigrants. I mean, they're they're so dehumanizing that they 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:25.840 have this policy of separating parents and children. Just you 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.399 can see the footage in your mind of parents just 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.440 grasping their child's hand as they're pulled apart, and who 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:33.440 knows when they'll see each other again. It's so traumatic 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:38.200 for the kids. And they're putting cages and they're put 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:43.600 in uh busses with restraints specifically for the children. I mean, 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:49.560 it was truly scary stuff I was seeing over the weekend. 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:53.679 Problem is it's all basically lies. I mean, might I 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:56.240 say basically, I'll give the explanations of you know, the 0:21:56.280 --> 0:22:00.200 specifics in a moment. But the problem is what we 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.359 saw on the weekend is that when a few journalists, 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:04.800 and this is a recurring theme, when they see an 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:10.440 opportunity to be anti Trump, they take it. They don't 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:14.920 verify facts, they don't look into the backstory, they don't 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:17.680 want to hear from both sides, or even be clear 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:21.000 on one side. They just know, if it's bad for Trump, 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:25.159 it's good for me. I'm gonna go for it. And 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:28.840 this has led to all these embarrassing retractions in the 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:33.360 past or these did these appended corrections to news stories 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:35.720 where it's like a chapter of a book. They put 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:37.400 at the bottom, well, we got this wrong and this wrong, 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:38.959 and this wrong, and that wrong and that wrong. But 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:42.640 you know, we don't want to retract the story that's 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:44.680 an anti Trump story, because then it's gonna be a 0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:48.040 little too obvious that we got a problem. We've got 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:52.600 an anti Trump compulsion. It really is a compulsion. It's 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:55.680 like the people that hate Trump in the media and 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.920 more broadly, I think across the country just can't control 0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:04.399 it anymore. You know that. It's like it bubbles up 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:07.840 from inside them. Traumb I hate Traum, but I can't stop. 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:13.240 They have an anti Trump addiction. And that's what was 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:15.199 pushing a lot of this story at the boarders. Let 0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:17.879 me tell you what really happened, all right, This is 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:20.600 you can imagine, and there were all these initial tweets, 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:24.919 and you had one of the Obama Obama bros, like 0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:28.479 one of the frat brows from the Obama administration. Um 0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:34.480 they do, uh Favreau, there you go. Uh. He he 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:37.040 was one that that kind of fell for this whole situation, 0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:39.919 and that was saying, oh, look at this photo of 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.439 these children in cages, and that was that was what 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:46.560 initially got it going. A New York Times, not just 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:48.840 a New York Times employee, the editor in chief of 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:53.000 New York Times magazine. So look, that's a in the 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:55.359 left wing media world. That's a big that's a big job, 0:23:55.560 --> 0:24:02.800 that's a big name position. He shared these photos of 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:09.840 children's sleeping in cages and use that to go after 0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:13.080
