Uh, well, 18 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: I guess currently Senator Al Frankin, formerly SNL's Al Frankin 19 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: character known as Stewart Smalley, one of the least funny 20 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: of the recurring SNL bits of all time, which I 21 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: should note is really saying something because there were some 22 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: really really garbage SNL segments over the years, but it 23 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: was it was definitely one of them. Somehow, I don't know, 24 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: they thought it was funny. There was nothing really funny 25 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: about it. But Frankin's getting a lot of attention now 26 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: and it is because of his previous history back in 27 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: the SNL days, in fact of grabbing women, and he 28 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: gave a press conference today. I can give you some 29 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: of the the details of it, and I will. I 30 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: should just note that what we have seen is that 31 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: the the liberal switch when it comes to seriousness with 32 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: regard to sexual harassment and sexual assault, the the oh, 33 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: we're going to confront the demons of Clinton past right, 34 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: or we're going to confront the problems of modern feminism 35 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: becoming a partisan instrument, really a partisan weapon to be 36 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: used against Republicans and Conservatives and yes, believing Christians, traditional Christians, 37 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: that feminism would need to be reformed if it were 38 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: really about women and empowerment. That didn't last that whole Okay, 39 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: the left is gonna come clean on this stuff didn't 40 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: last very long because instead of a focus on Roy Moore, 41 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: the all in media effort to uh, not just force 42 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: Roy More out of the race, but also to annihilate 43 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: the reputation of anyone with the temerity to stand up 44 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: for or even just questioned the allegations against Roy Moore. 45 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: Right at any of that, and you could be in 46 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of trouble. Media was very all of 47 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: a sudden. You've seen these articles, Oh, we're gonna we're 48 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: gonna question our past with regard to Clinton and accused 49 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: rapist and an accused rapist, multiple multiple women saying he 50 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: sexually assault them, one saying he just he just flatly 51 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: raped her, and we have their names. They spoke on 52 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: the record, and the left maligned them, truly victim shamed them. 53 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: And then when they were saying, oh, well, you know, 54 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: maybe we shouldn't have done that, because a woman must 55 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: women must be believed, women must be believed, And then 56 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: then the left had to deal with Wait a second. 57 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: There are some high profile Democrats, two very high profile Democrats, 58 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: one in the House, Representative Conyers. When Nancy Pelosi went 59 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: on to say this weekend was an icon we will 60 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: get there, but more importantly to their political fortunes. So 61 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: I think you could argue that Conyers, in terms of 62 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: the Democrat party brand is more important when it comes 63 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: to votes and pure power politics. Frankin and his Senate 64 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: seat a much bigger issue for the Democrats. Uh. He 65 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: came out today and gave the old Well, I'm really 66 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: really sorry, but I will suffer no consequences for this 67 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: other than being ashamed and sorry. That's that was the 68 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: That was the short version of it. Ah, this is 69 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: been shock and it's been extremely humbling. I am embarrassed, 70 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: I feel ashamed. Um, what I'm gonna do is I'm 71 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to start my job. I'm gonna go back 72 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: to work the kiss. As a rehearsal, we were rehearsing 73 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: for a sketch. I said that I recalled that differently 74 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: from Leanne. But I feel that you have to respect um, 75 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, women's experience, So all of you, I just 76 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: want to again say I am sorry. I know there 77 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: are no magic words that I can say, uh to 78 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: regain your trusts, and I know that it's going to 79 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: take time. Yeah, he's really sorry. I mean he's not 80 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: stepping down, but he's really sorry. And when asked, I 81 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: should note whether there would be any further because there 82 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: are now several women who have come out and said 83 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: that Frankin did stuff that anybody could understand is crossing 84 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: the line. I mean putting aside even the photographic evidence 85 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: of sexually assaulting a woman when she is asleep. Then 86 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: there's also the grabbing of a woman's behind during a 87 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: photo whip. That is not something that just happens or 88 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: that you know, a man in good faith could just 89 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: find himself doing. Right, that's an abusive, egregious thing to do. 90 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: And when asked could there be more, Franken was like, well, 91 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: you know, I'm I don't know, I can't sign and 92 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: I can't remember. Maybe, so to me, that's a way 93 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: of saying, oh yeah, well there were definitely more. It's 94 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: just a question of will the you know, do the 95 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: women who were grabbed or groped just want to maintain 96 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: their privacy? That's possible and I don't want to speak out. 97 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: Are they afraid of what the repercussions could be? That's 98 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: certainly possible for coming out and causing further problems for 99 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: this Democrat, who if you go back, I should note 100 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: and look at how Al Frankin even want his seat 101 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: in the first place. Everyone's just kind of forgotten this. 102 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: But you want to talking about stolen election, it's really 103 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: a stolen Senate seat up in Minnesota, the way that 104 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: they kept playing games with the vote count and it 105 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: was a razor thin margin for those who oh, say, 106 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 1: oh voter fraud. Who cares the difference between Frank and winning? 107 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: And what was it Norm Coleman, Right, wasn't that guy's name? 108 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: I think that was the the Republican who's running there? Uh, 109 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: the difference. It was gonna say Norm McDonald, But that's 110 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: the other SNL guy. Norm Coleman, I believe was the 111 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: other senator who would be senator in that state. And 112 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: Frank and one by hundreds of votes. It might even 113 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: been like a hundred votes. It was a tiny and 114 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: narrow margin. There's a lot of legal back and forth 115 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: over what anyway. Just that's an important side note, but 116 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: it's something to keep in mind whenever we talk about 117 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: the issue of voter i D or the issue of 118 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: voter fraud. Even small amounts of voter fraud can turn 119 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: a statewide election, which can which can turn national policy. 120 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: That's why voter I D matters. That's why the left 121 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: is so opposed to it because they figure they'll always 122 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: find some way to lie, cheat and steel if they 123 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: have to to win a seat, as they have in 124 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: the past. I read about Lyndon Johnson. If you who 125 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: are curious about this, Lenda Johnson was cheating all the 126 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: time in elections. Gotta became president Democrat, big Democrat, gave 127 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: us the great society without cheating. You probably don't have 128 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,559 Speaker 1: Lyndon Johnson. I'm just saying. And some of your probably 129 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: yelling about, you know, Kennedy's and there are some others 130 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: that we could put in the Oh yeah, cheating, that's 131 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: how they won. But I digress. Uh so Frankin back 132 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: on track. Your Frankie is not going to step down 133 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: because accountability, you see, that's a Republican thing. One of 134 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: the great weapons that the Democrats have used against Republicans 135 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: for a very long time is at least their willingness 136 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: to state that there are principles, the principles, should we 137 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: should aspire to adhere to them, that that they matter, 138 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: that character matters for Republicans. There's at least, if not 139 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: and uh, observance of character matters, there is a willingness 140 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: to defend it. And and as as a concept, there's 141 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: at least a concept shool devotion to our people in 142 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: office should have some degree of character, and some people 143 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 1: will yellow. But you know with Trump that's all got 144 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: out of But that all depends on how you view character, 145 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: doesn't it. Ah. Nonetheless, there are exceptions, there are failures. 146 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: There are people who do not have character on the 147 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: Republican side there, but but Republicans try, they try. Democrats 148 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: are like, what wins, what works, what gets us the 149 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: seats that we want? The the goal posts are shifted, 150 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: the standards go away. And that's why I know for 151 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: a lot of you, all of this current movement and 152 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: some are saying it is just any day now it 153 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: could turn into a hysteria because of the political power 154 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: behind it. And I just can't imagine the Democrats won't 155 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: try to weaponize the the moment in time here people 156 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: are saying it's a watershed moment? Has itn't even can 157 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 1: you even picture what a watershed looks like? It doesn't 158 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: even even what is the water? You know, a watershed 159 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: is not something we use this term all the time, 160 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: you know, tipping point. There are other things we can 161 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: say a watershed moment. What is it it separates one 162 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: body of water from another. It's not a particularly illustrative phrase. Anyway, 163 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: this is a a tipping point of sexual harassment and 164 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 1: sexual assault and that this will no longer be tolerated. 165 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: We have been here before as a society. Uh, we 166 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: didn't have quite the same level of uh complicity on 167 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: the left and and silencing on the left that then 168 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: came to light because the left didn't have in the nineties, 169 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: the left didn't really have an alternative media to worry about. 170 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: Although when you look at the whole clinted phenomenon and 171 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: the sexual assault and harassment era of the nineties, it 172 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: really led to and this is a part of the 173 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: history that seems to be left out here, the rise 174 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: of the Drudge Report, for example, which has been my 175 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: homepage for I don't know, going on twenty years now 176 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: on most computers that I've owned, at least outside of work. Uh, 177 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: the Drudge Report and some of the most influential conservative 178 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: authors and culture obviously comes to mind. Her first book 179 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: was about the Clinton sexual harassment, sexual assault debacle. It's 180 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: a great book, by the way, just putting that out there, 181 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: and you know, I think ants had like twelve New 182 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: York Times bestsellers. You could probably argue that her best 183 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: is her first. It was a great book, uh, but 184 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: it was just so outrageous, and the media was covering 185 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: up for it. So we've been here before in terms 186 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: of wait a second, there's a big natural conversation about 187 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: sexual harassment and sexual assault, and the media is now 188 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 1: suggesting that everything's gonna change and that we're going to 189 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: treat them, that things will be treated differently. Now, keep 190 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: in mind that sexual assault is already illegal everywhere, and 191 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: sexual harassment laws exist in workplaces, and I don't know 192 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: what you know. You get into this, okay, how does 193 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: it change? It changes at a societal level. At a 194 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: social level in terms of this is an issue of 195 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: what social morays and manners. I'm talking about the much 196 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: lesser stuff now, not the egregious sexual assaults and and 197 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: and some of the rapes from very prominent and connected 198 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: people that have been described. But those are already illegal. Right, 199 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: So that's a question of just power and its abuse 200 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: and the cover up of it. And we'd like to 201 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: think that we will overcome abuses of power, but what 202 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: evidence is there to back that notion up? Just as 203 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: as a general concept. I don't know if I don't 204 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: know what to point you with that other than right now, 205 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: the victims have the ability to get the media to 206 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: pay attention, and there are consequences once that shifts. I'm 207 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: not sure that we are in quite the same environment. 208 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: So I don't know what really changes here, But put 209 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: that aside for a moment. Nancy Loosy just gave away 210 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: the whole game over the weekend because when confronted on 211 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: national TV with one from her own party, Representative John Conyers, 212 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: she didn't say right right away and you know all 213 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: in that yes, women need to be believed and this 214 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: is unacceptable. She she started, She started all of a sudden, 215 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: putting out the double standards and the double speak and 216 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: the hypocrisy and the nonsense because it's about Democrats. And 217 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: al Franken stood up there today and made sure everybody 218 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: knew that, yeah, he's really sorry, but he's not giving 219 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: up his Senate seat. And this comes after how how 220 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: many weeks of allegations alone should determine a Senate race 221 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: in Alabama from the media. Whether you agree or disagree 222 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: with that, that was the standard that they had set 223 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: allegations alone or enough allegations alone for Kanyer's and Franken, 224 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: and in Franken's case admitted it's not just allegations. That's 225 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: not enough. Now, I know there's differences in severity between 226 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: these allegations. I'm not going to pretend like these are 227 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: all the same kinds of uh misconduct and even criminal conduct. 228 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: But the standard gets real murky when Democrats are all 229 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden the ones called to account and I 230 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: want to get into that and Nancy Pelosi and how 231 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: oh wow, Pelosi, just let us all know that this 232 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: is still very much despite all of their claims to 233 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: the contrary, this is still very much a partisan issue 234 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: for them and about power. We'll get into that. Stay 235 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: with me. So Pelosi is on one of the Sunday 236 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: political shows that are all the same to me. I mean, 237 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't the one with Chuck Todd does is that 238 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: Meet the Press? Okay, it's a boring show, but anyway, 239 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: she's on. She's on Meet the Meet the Press, and 240 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: she's being pressed on the issue of Representative Conyers, who's 241 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: been in the Congress for like a hundred years. I mean, 242 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: the guy I think the longest serving right longest serving 243 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: member of the Congress. Been in the Congress I think 244 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: since the the sixties. And I don't even know how 245 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: many terms that is. I can't do the math. It's 246 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: a lot of terms, though, And he is a a 247 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: prominent member of the Congress. He's on the House Judiciary Committee. 248 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: Think he's the chairman of the House she s here committee, 249 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: right right right, We're gonna get to the resistors. He 250 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: resigns from the he's chairman of the House Here Committee. 251 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: He resigns from it today. But over the weekend, when 252 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: Pelosi has asked about Congressman Conyers, here is what she 253 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: has to say. You said, there's now zero tolerance John Conyers. 254 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: What does that mean for him? Right now? Let's say 255 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: we are strengthened by due process just because someone is accused. 256 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: Was that one accusation? Is that two? I think there 257 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: has to be. John Conyers is an icon in our country. 258 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: He has done a great deal to pro tech women 259 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: violence against women acts. The left wing right wing is 260 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: now quoting me as praising him for his work on that, 261 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: and he did great work on that. But the fact is, uh, 262 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: as John reviews his case, which he knows, which I don't, 263 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: I believe he will do. I believe that he may. 264 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: I finished my sense that he will do the right thing. 265 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: But he got to hide his settlement, he got to 266 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: his accusers, had to go through all sorts of craziness. 267 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: So why is he entitled a new due process? Well, 268 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: in this case, I know I we are talking about 269 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: what we have heard. I've asked the Ethics Committee to 270 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: review that. He has said he'd be open, he will cooperately. 271 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: You excuse me. I don't know who they are, do you? 272 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: They have not really come forward, and I guess you 273 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: don't know if you believe the accusations what that's for 274 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: the Ethics Committee to review. But I believe he understands 275 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: what does it stake here and he will do the 276 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: right thing. In one fell swoop there, my friends, Nancy Pelosi, 277 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: the one end only just annihilates any credibility that Democrats 278 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: and the left have on this. Oh no, now we're 279 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: now we're serious. No more double standards, no more hypocrisy, 280 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: no more making excuses. In that one clip, you heard 281 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: it there, and I can walk you through some of 282 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: the specifics of how, and I will because it will 283 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 1: be entertaining for us. But it's we know this is 284 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: that was all posturing. It was just what they were 285 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: saying because it was good for them when they were 286 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: saying it. But now that it's a problem for their side, 287 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: now that Democrats are the ones in the hot seat, 288 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: big problem. They have a few things here, first of all, 289 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: and I would think he's in reverse order, asked if 290 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: she believes the accusers. Remember the accusers who at least 291 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: in one case, clearly got serious settlement money and had 292 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: a lot of specifics about what Kanyers was doing. And 293 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: you know, I don't care who you are as a 294 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: guy if there are sexual harassment allegations against you and 295 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: you did nothing, and you you did nothing, and you're 296 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: you're also not on the hook to you know, the 297 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: House Legal counsel is gonna be defending you. I think 298 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: you defended. I think you said no. Sorry, I don't 299 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: think you go. I can't even repeat. And the media's 300 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: hiding It's really hard. I mean, BuzzFeed was the one 301 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: that broke the story, although they were given the documents 302 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: by Mike's Ernovitch. Everybody you know, credit where it's due. 303 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: Ronan Farrell wrote a great piece on uh on Weinstein. 304 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: Credit where it's due, unfair had the worst TV show 305 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: on MSNBC's history since Alec Baldwin. But he wrote a 306 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: great piece in on Weinstein. Credit where too, Snovitch got 307 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: the docks about Conyers, gave him a BuzzFeed they went 308 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: with it. So credit to Sernovitch on that, uh and 309 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: and BuzzFeed for running with it. I guess, you know, 310 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: taking a break from the cat videos. But uh, I 311 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: have to. I have to go piece by piece through 312 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 1: through the Pelosi denial there. I mean, it's incredible, So 313 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: we we have to get a big because it's we 314 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: need to establish this now since they've exposed what the 315 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: truth is, so that the next week when they're saying, oh, 316 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: this Republican needs to resign, we can say, oh wait, 317 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: hold on a second, we've got the Pelosi standards. Now 318 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: those are different. This is woman was was third in 319 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: line for the presidency not long ago. I want to 320 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: talk about the Pelosi standard or when somebody should face consequences, 321 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: the Pelosi standard for when sexual uh sexual assault victims 322 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: or sexual harassing victims are to be believed. We'll do 323 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: that after the break. Stay with it. Unfortunately for time, 324 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: I gotta end it there, you mean we're not even 325 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 1: going to talk about taxes, and you have fallen into 326 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: the place where they are put doing something that's going 327 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: to increase the debt enormously. It's going to be a 328 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: job a job killer, and it's going to raise taxes 329 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: on the middle class and that is has a big 330 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: impact when the individual lives of all Americans, and really 331 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: we should be spending more time on that. Do you 332 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: think this other issue isn't as seriously, I think it's 333 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: I think it's it's a north look. As a woman 334 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,239 Speaker 1: mother four daughters, I think it's enormously important. But I 335 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: think that we have to have a balance in how 336 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: we go forward because this is this is this is 337 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: giving them uh cover. There's so many reasons that we 338 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 1: should be concerned about the Republican majority in Congress. I mean, 339 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is incredible, everybody. That was the end of 340 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: that interview I had played some of before the break 341 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: on Meet the Press. Nancy Pelosi is incredible in a 342 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: bad way, all right. I mean, first of all, what 343 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: is that that whole it's gonna she is just like 344 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: a walking programmed robot of left wing talking points. It's just, 345 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 1: you know, hurts middle class kills jobs, bad for women. 346 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: Hurts middle class kills jobs, bad for women. But you know, Nancy, 347 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: we're just asking if you want flat or or sparkling 348 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: water with your lunch, you know. I mean, it's just 349 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. She goes right into it. Yes, the Republicans, 350 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: you know, they hate the middle class and they hate women, 351 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: and they and you gotta sit there and say to yourself, 352 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things. One whenever a Democrat now 353 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: gets in trouble, the focus should be on policy. And 354 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: I have to say, this wasn't just Nancy Pelosi complaining. 355 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: This was her calling out Chuck Todd because he's supposed 356 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: to do the bidding of the Democrats on that show. 357 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: And he knows it, and she knows it. But Chuck 358 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: Todd occasionally has little journalism urges, you know, because journalists 359 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: right now they're they're stuck between the virtue signaling of 360 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: wanting to be a part of this movement of ending 361 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: sexual harassment, which sexual harassment is bad. It is not 362 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: going to end. Hopefully it'll get a little better. I'm 363 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: not gonna end. And I'm not even sure from a 364 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: legislative a regulatory perspective, what what could be done outside 365 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: of Congress, which we'll get to where they hide this 366 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: stuff as a matter of of process. No surprise there, 367 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: but for the rest of us already a lot of 368 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: laws against this stuff. I mean that that Weinstein, for example, 369 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: I know he's not not a politician, but that Weinstein 370 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: was able to get away with rape for a long time, 371 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: or allegations of rape without any consequences was just a 372 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: function of cowards in the media, cowards in the Democratic Party, 373 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: and a complicit staff and little you know, virtual army 374 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: around him, of of enablers and accessories to the fact, 375 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: after the fact or during the fact, all of the above. 376 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: That's what it Wasn't that what Weinstein didn't find some 377 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: some loophole somewhere. Weinstein was just a serial sex abuser 378 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: and sex arrasser who people were letting, uh get away 379 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: with it because he was powerful. Oh wait, who else 380 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: was a serial sex abuser and sex arrasser that people 381 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: let it? Let's get away with it. Oh that's right, 382 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. Not new, This is not new. We have 383 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: very much been here before. But put put pelos. So 384 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: you noticed that she wants to talk policy and she's 385 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: calling out Chuck Todd Chuck Todd's feeling like, well, I 386 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: want to be part of the righteous social justice movement 387 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: right now that's calling out sexual arrassment. Pelosi is like, 388 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: hold on a second there, Chucky, You're supposed to be 389 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: playing for our team here and right now. You got 390 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: to know that more important to the Democrat Party that 391 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: you run interference for Knyer's. Then you look like a 392 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: big j journalist on the sexual arrassment stuff. So you know, Pelosi, 393 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: that's not at the end of the interview like that. 394 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: You don't do that unless you're unless you're a Democrat, right, 395 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: And Chuck Todd sits there and basically gets scolded and 396 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: it's like, yo, yeah, you know I sometimes think about 397 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: that too, and it keeps me up late at bad 398 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you know, Pelosi for thank 399 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: you for telling me what to do. I mean, can 400 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: you imagine, I mean, if I if I'm Chuck Todd, 401 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: I'm getting paid seven figures, which, by the way, I 402 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: say that and I want to vomit. I'm Chuck to 403 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: I'm getting paid seven figures to do some boring interview 404 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: show on Sunday And someone comes into my house and 405 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: wants to wants to throw around the furniture and call 406 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: me out just as a man, I'm gonna be like, 407 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: excuse me. But instead you'll notice she's she's like, you know, 408 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: maybe next time I actually focused on some real stuff, 409 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: chuck and play for the team. And he's upside of 410 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: that too. Please invite me to the next Capital party 411 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: anyway side. I just picked that up. That's a little 412 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: little inside inside media think. But I've seen it. I've 413 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: seen it a hundreds, I've seen it a thousand times. 414 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: So that's that all right now. But so she says, 415 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: focus on policy. But in the earlier clip that I 416 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: played for you, she all of a sudden out doesn't 417 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: want to believe the accusers. No big surprise there, all 418 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden, now they're just allegations. Well, hold on 419 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: a second, I thought with Roy Moore, it's just allegations. 420 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: Conyers is just allegations. Oh, he's stepping down after how 421 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: many decades in power. He's stepping down from his his 422 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: seat on the as chairman of the Judiciary Committee. But 423 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: you know he's keeping us, He's keeping his Congressional seat. 424 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: He's not he's not resigning. Guys, like eighty eight years 425 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: old too. You know how much of a how much 426 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: of a punishment would it really be from at this 427 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: point and say, you know what, I'm gonna spend some 428 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: time with the grandkids or something. I'm assuming he has grandkids. 429 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm guessing he does. But yeah, spend 430 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: some time out on the boat fishing or whatever he 431 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: wants to do. Right, it's not the end of the world, 432 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: no matter what. But do you think there might be 433 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: some consequences? Oh? No, it's just allegations. So do you 434 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: believe women when they accuse? This is the Nancy These 435 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: are the Nancy Pelosi standards. I want us to be 436 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: very clear on. Do you believe sexual harassment accusers when 437 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: they're accusing a Democrat? No, leave it to the Congress. 438 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: They'll figure it out. Should should women be believed? Not 439 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: if it's a Democrat. That's standard one. Do allegations alone 440 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: merit punishment for the accused? Well, not when it's a Democrat. 441 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: Only when it's a Republican. Okay, So we cleared that up. 442 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: And then also, just if you're curious, the Violence Against 443 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: Women Act. That's the old Democrat Rick. This is the 444 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: equivalent of Weinstein saying I'm gonna go after the n 445 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: r A. You know, like that's my little, my little 446 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: coward voice, right, So it works for Chuck Tad, works 447 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: for Weinstein. Uh, you know, what do you mean You're 448 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: gonna go off the n r A. You've been accused 449 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: Weinstein of being a sexual predator and that was before 450 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: some of the worst stuff had even come out. But 451 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: he knew that the old game was just be useful 452 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: to the left and they will cover for you. Do 453 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: the left bidding, and you don't have to have any 454 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: character at all. In fact, you can be a person 455 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: entirely lacking in character. You can be scum, you can 456 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: be a bad person. But if you do the left's bidding, 457 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: they meaning the Democrat Party and the media or do 458 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: I repeat myself, will have your back. They will cover 459 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: for you, they will protect you. They will make sure 460 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: you get book deals, get jobs, get whatever it is 461 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: you need. That's the way they've been playing the game 462 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: for very long time. And going to the Violence Against 463 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: Women Act with Conyers, that wasn't Biden had had a 464 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: big role in this. There was a House version, I 465 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: think in a Senate version, this is the Democrats, because 466 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: it seemed at the time politically favorable to them because 467 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 1: they're always trying to separate women from men as an 468 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: identity politics group, because that's what Democrats do. But they 469 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: wanted to make violence against women a federal crime under 470 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: the auspices of now I'm getting really into but you 471 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: know Wickered v. Philburn and the interstate Commerce clause, and 472 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: they were saying that violence against women effects interstate commerce, 473 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: so it becomes a federal issue. Violence against women is 474 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: a terrible thing, one of the most awful things in 475 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: our society, but it's not an issue for the federal government. 476 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: It's illegal in all fifties states, right the same way 477 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: that there's not a there's not a federal statute unless 478 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: it involves the federal government. There's not like a federal 479 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: law against murder, because you know, murderers a terrible crime. 480 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: States all have laws against murder. You kill somebody in 481 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 1: any state, unless you know you're defending yourself somebody, you 482 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: murder somebody, you're going to prison. Right, you heard a woman, 483 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: you should go to prison too, And it's against the law, 484 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: and depending on the severity of it, you can go 485 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: to prison. And but the Violence Against Women Act wasn't 486 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: even wasn't necessary and was just the Democrats engaged in 487 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: their usual grandstanding. But more to the point here, it 488 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: is because, as Pelosi said, Kanyer's is an icon that 489 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: the law is the rules. The rules, I should say, 490 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: do not apply to him. These new rules that we've 491 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: just has had established for us by the media about 492 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: how the right the right to be believed for women 493 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: and zero tolerance. She even said zero tolerance. Well, it's 494 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: zero tolerance unless you're a Democrat who's important to the party. 495 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: It's zero tolerance unless you're Al Frank it's zero tolerance 496 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: unless you are representative Knyers. Then it's whoa WHOA hold on, 497 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: Let's look at the totality of the circumstances. It's very 498 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: important that we that we spend some time on this 499 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: today because I assure you Democrats will get about this 500 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: double double standard that they have established today for two 501 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: different people when there's a Republican who's in trouble. As 502 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: certainly as we go forward into the Alabama Senate election, 503 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: they're going to forget all about all this won't be 504 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: applicable at all, not in the least. They won't want 505 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: to hear a thing about it, they won't want to 506 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: hear a thing about it. You know, the thing, you 507 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: could make a strong argument, and just putting this out 508 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: there that the defining characteristic of the American Left, the 509 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: defining characteristic of the media today is hypocrisy. He's a 510 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: lack of principles that aren't transient, principles that are for 511 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: more than just show and Pelosi and since we ope 512 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: Pelosi a debt of gratitude because she put words to 513 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: what we knew was the truth anyway, which the Democrats 514 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: are entirely unserious about coming to terms with Teddy Kennedy 515 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: allowing a woman to drown the backseat of his car 516 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: when he was going out to establish an alibi, entire 517 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: un serious about coming to grips with Bill Clinton's serial 518 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: predations on women, including rape, and Hillary Clinton's complicity you 519 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: want to talk about complicit and covering it up and 520 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: never and then also not really connecting the dots between 521 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: wine scene and the Democrat Party and some of these 522 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: other very you know, these prominent celebrities overwhelmingly that have 523 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: gotten caught up in the revelations about their sexual abuse 524 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: and sexual harassment, they're they're royalty in the Democrat Party, 525 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: they're given money to Democrats, they're raising money for Democrats. 526 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: They are of the left. But Pelosi just wanted us 527 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: all to be sure that we knew that there's no 528 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: real standards that are gonna judge people by. It's it's 529 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: going to be on a case by case basis, and 530 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,239 Speaker 1: question number one is going to be how important to you? 531 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: How important are you the accused to the left wing cause? 532 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: And then after that everything else follows. Well, if that's 533 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: the standard for Kanyer's and Frank, and if that's the 534 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,719 Speaker 1: standard for today, that's gonna be the standard going forward 535 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: for conservatives as well. That's what's gonna end up happening. 536 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: That they may they'll kick and scream and yell about it, 537 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,479 Speaker 1: but that's the truth. Um, Anyway, what do you think 538 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: about all it? Do do you think that if more 539 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: accusers come out against Frank and you think he might 540 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: step down and they might force him to con here's 541 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: nothing's gonna it doesn't matter this but nothing's gonna happen 542 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: beyond him stepping down from But but do you think 543 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: that frankin may may still there seemed to be an 544 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: opening there on that just just kind of wondering, so 545 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: we will. We'll talk about the Credit Financial or Consumer 546 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: Financial Protection Bureau in the next hour. Some very interesting 547 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: stuff going on there also taxes. Here's my shorthand on 548 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: where we should be on this. On taxes, I've been 549 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: saying all along, I didn't think they'll get it done 550 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,239 Speaker 1: this year. I think I think I'm still confident al 551 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: though it's probably it's a position right now, but I 552 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: want us all to apply a little bit of skepticism 553 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: to this tax package. And I'll tell you why. But 554 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to hang out with me through through 555 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: this break. I'll be right back. So that was the 556 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: ultimate statement from General Kelly, the importance, and I just 557 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: want to thank you because you're very very special people. 558 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: You were here long before any of us were here. 559 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: Although we have a representative in Congress who they say 560 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: was here a long time ago. They call her Polka 561 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: huntas that was President Trump earlier today at a ceremony 562 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: honoring Navajo code talkers from the Second World War who 563 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: are heroes and very good but very violent, but very 564 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: good movie wind talkers. I think you put it probably 565 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: Nicolas Cage top ten, maybe even top five wind talkers 566 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: about the Navajo Code Talkers. That shows what they were 567 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: doing and explains their story, true story. And that's why 568 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: they're being honored today by the President and by the 569 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: White House and for their service to America. Now they 570 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: are heroes, no no question about it. And uh we 571 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: thank them for their service. President Trump, being President Trump, 572 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: cracked a joke about Elizabeth Warren, who people referred to 573 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: as as both Pocahontas and folk hunts. And this got 574 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: the media very upset. They are never going to pass 575 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: up an opportunity to tell people, or for their base, 576 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: remind their base that Trump is a is vile and 577 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: bigot and all this all that other stuff. And Sarah 578 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: huckeybe Sanders was asked about this today and here is 579 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: she She was not having it at all. The event 580 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: that the President justin the Navajo code talkers, he referred 581 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: to Pocahontas being in the Senate, Why did he feel 582 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: the need to say something is offensive to many people 583 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: while honoring a nomo coach. I think what most people 584 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: find offensive is Centator Warren lying about her heritage to 585 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 1: advance her career. Now that's that's a that's throwing down 586 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,479 Speaker 1: right there. That is not backing off one bit from 587 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: from what Trump said. Let's let's all be let's be 588 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 1: honest here for a moment. In a certain look. I 589 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: know it's Trump being Trump in a ceremony to honor 590 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: the Navajo code talkers. I think there's I think that 591 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: it's fair to expect the commander in chief to approach 592 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: that with a certain a certain solemnity. Now, Trump also 593 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: from what I from what I heard, and from all 594 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: the analysis that I could bring to this mean absolutely 595 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: no disrespect whatsoever to the code talkers. He meant disrespect 596 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: to Elizabeth Warren. So these are important things to separate out. 597 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: Was at the time and the place for that joke, 598 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: I would say no. But was he disrespect the Navajo 599 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: code talkers in any in any way, shape or form. 600 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,399 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. That was not his intention. I don't think 601 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: that's what That's what happened there, And it does raise 602 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: it does raise the issue for the Democrat Party of 603 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Elizabeth Warren is is somebody who's built a 604 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: career on fraud. It's interesting, as we'll be talking about 605 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: in the next hour, that she was the she was 606 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: so important in the formation of the Consumer Financial Protection 607 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: Bureau which has gotten in all kinds of crazy trouble 608 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 1: or not trouble, but all kinds of issues right now, 609 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: because it's really there to protect consumers from fraud. And 610 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren used the racial spoils system in our college 611 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: admissions for her own purposes and built everything upon that. 612 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 1: Were it not for her, and and this is this 613 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: is no offense to any state school, but there are 614 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: very few, there are some. There are very few state 615 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: schools that she would go to as a to get 616 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: your j d. And then we get picked up by 617 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 1: Harvard Law School to be a professor. That is very 618 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: hard to do. Harvard Law professors make like two hundred 619 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: fifty or three hundred grand and they can't get fired. 620 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: It's a great gig, very hard to get. Elizabeth Warren 621 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: is I believe the only uh, well, certainly she's the 622 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: only member of the faculty with her credential coming from 623 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: a school that in the I don't know how else 624 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: to put this, all right, she didn't go to an 625 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: elite law school, bottom line, but she teaches at probably 626 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: the most elite law school. How did that happen? Broud? 627 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: She pretended to be something she wasn't, and she abused 628 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: the system, and then she she was able to parlay 629 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: her time as a you know this, parlay her time 630 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: as a Harvard law professor into then running first Senate 631 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: and everything else. Right, but it's a big problem for 632 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: the Democrats. It really is, because Elizabeth Warren is not 633 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: a feasible candidate if they're gonna care at all about 634 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: the person they have running being a person of integrity 635 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: and character. Oh but that's right. Democrats don't care about 636 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: that stuff, so maybe they'll be fine with it. Um. 637 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 1: I should note real quick, just separately, thinking about Native Americans. 638 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 1: I saw the movie wind River over the weekend. It 639 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: is excellent, highly recommend check it out, very good film. 640 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: We'll be back with more on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 641 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: A succession crisis at the Consumer Financial Protection Gurow. Oh me, 642 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: oh my, what the heck is going on? It's the 643 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: it's the kind of bureaucratic situation that you would start 644 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: to ask questions about, like is this the swamp or 645 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: is this the deep state? What exactly is is going 646 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:07,879 Speaker 1: on here? And here's what, here's what, here's the long 647 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: and short of it. You have the cf p B, 648 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: which is supposed to be protecting people from unscrupulous business practice, 649 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: protecting the consumers that that common, folks, protecting Main Street 650 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: from Wall Street. It's the kind of institution where I'm 651 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: sure a lot of politicians when they talk about it, 652 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: starts saying folks a lot. You know, it's protect you know, 653 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: the folks. It's all about protecting the folks, main Street, 654 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: the folks, middle class, a lot of that. And what 655 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: has it really done. That's an interesting question. We'll get 656 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: into that in just a moment. Let let me first 657 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: start with what's going on right now. They have as 658 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 1: a part of Dodd Frank, which I should note has 659 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:58,800 Speaker 1: dramatically helped very large banks to get oh so much larger, 660 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 1: and is anti competitive in the costs that it imposes 661 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 1: upon smaller businesses. Right, so, if you two to obey 662 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: to be in line with Dodd Frank, if you are, 663 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 1: you know, a major financial institution, if you know, if 664 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 1: you're Goldman Sachs, yeah sure, whatever, Well, Dodd Frank, whatever 665 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: he want us to do, and and it might even 666 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: be good for you, because anybody who's trying to compete 667 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: with any of Goldman Sachs is various business models, is 668 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 1: gonna have to pick up that cost and if they're 669 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: not Goldmen, that costs is gonna hurt them little bit 670 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: more because Goldman has got a lot of cash. But 671 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: on Dodd Frank specifically, you also have the creation of 672 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and it says in Dodd 673 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:54,359 Speaker 1: Frank that the UH director gets to pick the success. 674 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: This seems strange and then also would conflict with the 675 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: Vacancy Act, which Vacancies Act which allows the President or 676 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: any federal agency or bureau to be the one who 677 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: determines who the interm Director would be. Let's think about 678 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: this for a second. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is 679 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: part of the executive branch. You now have an executive 680 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: branch official. I mean, this is crazy. You have an 681 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: executive branch official who has showed up to work saying 682 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 1: that the president's pick does not count, that the President's 683 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: Office of Management and Budget Director Mick mulvagney is not 684 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: in fact in charge. How does this happen? How is 685 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: this the case? It is pretty astonishing, my friends, when 686 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 1: you get into it. But this is what's this is 687 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 1: what's happening. You had Mick mulveney down at down at 688 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: CFPP kind of a tough. I'm gonna get that acronym 689 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: wrong at some point. I'm not as good with the 690 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 1: acronyms as I used to be back in my CIA days. 691 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: But at CFPB you had two people say, and they're 692 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 1: running the place, and you have Mulvaney in the mix. 693 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: You're saying that, well, here's what you to say. The 694 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,879 Speaker 1: laws of the United States, including the provisions of Dodd 695 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: Frank that governed the CFPV. That being said, um, the 696 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: way we go about it, the way we interpret it, 697 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,879 Speaker 1: the way we enforce it will be dramatically different under 698 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,919 Speaker 1: the current administration that was under the last. Anybody who 699 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: thinks that a Trump administration CFPP would be the same 700 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: as an Obama administration Trump of CFPP is simply being naive. 701 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 1: Elections have consequences at every agency, and that includes the 702 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 1: cfp B. You see, this is part of hashtag resistance. 703 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: Federal employees, federal employees in some branches of the government, 704 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: or if rather federal employees in some agencies of the 705 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: executive branch. I think that they have a a right. 706 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: In fact, I'm sure many believe they have a duty 707 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 1: to just openly oppose what President Trump is doing. This 708 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: is crazy, but it is happening. I can tell some 709 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 1: of you that I know of, uh shall we say, 710 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: simmering policy revolts and even some behind the scenes undermining 711 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: at places like the State Department. And I know of 712 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: it not just from reading the newspapers. I hear things, 713 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: I know things. I still have still have connectivity to 714 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 1: what's going on in some parts of the government that 715 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: is giving me quite a view into these things that 716 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,959 Speaker 1: many in the press do not get. State is one 717 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: place where there are some who are actively working against 718 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: the President's agenda to the degree they can, within the 719 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: discretion of their office, without running so far afoul of 720 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,800 Speaker 1: their obligation to in fact, you implement the administration's policies 721 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 1: that they become obvious and have to be shown the door. 722 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,800 Speaker 1: But there are little quiet policy revolts under way right 723 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,479 Speaker 1: now in some of these places. And there's a big one, 724 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 1: an open one, allowed, a messy, a noisy revolt at 725 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 1: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, where you have a I'm 726 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: trying to miss I believe her name is English, Yes, 727 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 1: that's right, and ms English, who is the chosen successor 728 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:35,240 Speaker 1: of Director Richard Cordrey Leandra English, who is his chief 729 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 1: of Staff and longtime aid Leander English is the successors. 730 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,480 Speaker 1: So you have federal bureaucrats who think that they get 731 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 1: to determine who is in charge of a federal regulatory agency. Now, 732 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 1: I mean, this is just appalling. And mc Mulvaaney's right 733 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:58,839 Speaker 1: when he says this place needs needs a real house cleaning. Yeah, 734 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 1: to actually that you backn you look at the line 735 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: I think it was. It was a joke in a sick, 736 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 1: sad kind of way. Um, which is slightly different, but 737 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 1: again the sentiment is the same. Um. The reasons that 738 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: I said that, the reasons that I still believe that 739 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,479 Speaker 1: this agency has lawed are things that I think people 740 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: back home would agree with. Is that. Look at it 741 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: this way, And this is how explained to people here 742 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: today when I was in Congress. If you if the 743 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 1: CFPP did something to you back home that you did 744 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: not like, okay, there was literally nowhere for you to 745 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 1: turn for redress. You could not call your senator, You 746 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 1: could not call the congressman, in fact, you are the 747 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: House representatives. You couldn't even call the president because the 748 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,760 Speaker 1: only reason the president could fire the director is for cause. 749 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,760 Speaker 1: It is a completely unaccountable agency, and I think that's wrong. 750 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: I think that citizens should always have some ability to 751 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 1: hold the bureaucracy accountable. And they can't hear. And that's 752 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: why I think we need structural and legislative change the 753 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: way this place is run. At that being said, that's 754 00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 1: outside the bounds of the director to fix this is 755 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: a elephant of the federal federal government. By design. They 756 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: they created this, uh, this stay behind federal agency if 757 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: you will, you know, after the conflict is lost. These 758 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: are the This is like a the bureaucratic equivalent of uh, 759 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 1: what was it? I think it was in the Second 760 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 1: World War after the fall of I mean not not 761 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: that I'm saying this is like Nazism, right, but you 762 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: had the partisans of Nazi Germany, the you know, the 763 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: the werewolves who wanted to stay behind and still fight 764 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,880 Speaker 1: after the right had fallen. I mean, this happens and 765 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 1: lots of different places. This is the bureaucratic equivalent of, 766 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: you know, not just a zombie agency. It is it 767 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 1: is resurrected after the defeat or it endures forever. You 768 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 1: can't get rid of it. You can't decide there's accountability, 769 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 1: you can't shake things up and clean it out, or 770 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 1: at least the Democrats are making it as hard as possible. 771 00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: This guy, Richard Cordre was a recess appointment that Obama 772 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,240 Speaker 1: made that was one of Obama's most obvious and egregious 773 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 1: constitutional abuses. And I know some of you are like, 774 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 1: whoa buck, that's that's uh, let's not get crazy here. No, 775 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 1: it's true. Cordrey was the one that Obama put in 776 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 1: play well, and eventually the Senate moved on this, but 777 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 1: initially Obama put him in place the Senate was in recess, 778 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 1: but Obama said, no, actually, the Senate is not in recess, 779 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna make the uh or rather the Senate sorry. 780 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: The Senate said, we are not in recess, and Obama 781 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 1: said we are, that they are in recess, or he's 782 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,239 Speaker 1: gonna make the appointment. And there was a whole thing 783 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: about whether the Senate gets to determine when they are 784 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: or not in recess, or can Obama just say that 785 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 1: holding pro form of sessions is a formality that does 786 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 1: not count anyway? Getting it. The longest short of it 787 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,919 Speaker 1: is that Obama abused the separation of powers and put 788 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,479 Speaker 1: this guy Rob Court, Rob Quadre in place. I'm not sorry, 789 00:46:53,560 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 1: Rob Quadries, the he isn't he? The uh guy from 790 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 1: not Necessaril The Daily Show, Rob Cordon what's this guy's name? 791 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:09,800 Speaker 1: It's a different Quardry forgetting his name. Gosh, gosh, Jarnet 792 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,880 Speaker 1: Buck get a get a grip, Sexton Cordrey. Oh no, 793 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: it's kind of close. Yeah. Whatever point here being that 794 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,720 Speaker 1: they set this up so that it would be unaccountable, 795 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 1: and they set this up so that there Yeah, I'm sorry, 796 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 1: Richard Richard not Rob Rob Cordrey's Daily Show, Richard Cordrey. Uh. 797 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: They said this up so they'd be no accountability and 798 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 1: they can't get rid of them. And they didn't want 799 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 1: to have this fight initially with the Democrats right when 800 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,799 Speaker 1: Trump came into office, so they kind of waited. But 801 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,720 Speaker 1: now they're having the fight later. And there's a great 802 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,359 Speaker 1: so some great stuff up on nash review dot com. 803 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 1: I'll just put that out there for you a lot 804 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,839 Speaker 1: of details that can be offered here about how cfpb 805 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: uh I think paid like eleven million dollars in rent 806 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,360 Speaker 1: for an office building to a a big Obama Democrat donor. 807 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,280 Speaker 1: You know, there's all kind into shenanigans and and carve 808 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,320 Speaker 1: outs and goodies and stuff going on here with the CFPB. 809 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,399 Speaker 1: That is very troubling, and this is what I wanted 810 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: to do. By the way, um tyrone, what do you think? 811 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 1: What do you think the ratio is of within the 812 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: CFPB Democrats to Republicans in terms of political donations. I'm 813 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,799 Speaker 1: gonna go with a seven to one. It is five 814 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety three to one. I mean, I asked, 815 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 1: because I mean, this is it's a trapped I wrote. 816 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 1: But that's the point, right, seven to one is honestly 817 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 1: what I would have said to I would have said, 818 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 1: it's maybe you know twenty or something like that. Washington 819 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,760 Speaker 1: Examiner has a piece. This agency of the federal government 820 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 1: supposed to protect consumers. There are five D nine three 821 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 1: donations to Democrats in the last election cycle, one to 822 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 1: a Republican. Does anybody think that that does not reflect 823 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: itself in the way this institution conducts itself and the 824 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,839 Speaker 1: policies that it implements. And come on, right, we talked 825 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 1: about draining the swamp. This is the CFPB is a 826 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 1: is a deep and stinky and murky and methane gas 827 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 1: filled part of the swamp. My friends, So this is 828 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 1: quite a fight the Trump administration has. But I just 829 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 1: can't imagine. I mean I can't somebody used to work 830 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: for the federal government. I'm just thinking about how imagine 831 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:24,520 Speaker 1: if I showed up one day and there's like one 832 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: guy who's like, I'm the CIA director and someone else 833 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: is like, no, I'm the CIA director, and they're sending 834 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,760 Speaker 1: out like dueling emails about you know, who's in charge. 835 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 1: It's like, what's that movie Crimson Tied with Denzel Washington 836 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 1: and Gene Hackman where it's like, who's really in charge 837 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 1: of the submarine? Actually a good movie. I think it's 838 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,719 Speaker 1: a Stephen King thing. By the way, it's kind of 839 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,880 Speaker 1: like that, right, I was like, which which CIA director 840 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 1: would I listened to? The one the CIA picked or 841 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 1: the one that in that case there's no because of 842 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:53,480 Speaker 1: the way that it's all set up, you wouldn't have 843 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,400 Speaker 1: that problem. But I'm just saying I showed up to 844 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 1: work as a federal employee. It's like, are there little factions? 845 00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,880 Speaker 1: Do people start wearing like different colored arm bands or 846 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:05,120 Speaker 1: something dependent on which CFPB directory they go with? Well, 847 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: we shouldn't. I mean, I'm sure they all hate mulveney right, 848 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,920 Speaker 1: because these are who goes to work. You also got 849 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 1: thinking of this one who goes to work with the 850 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:17,319 Speaker 1: cfp PP progressive social justice warrior Democrats. Obviously, obviously that's 851 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,360 Speaker 1: why a five one, according to Washington Examiner, given for 852 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 1: Democrats over Republicans. So we're gonna get a congressman away 853 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 1: on this one and just a little bit here, But 854 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about what I what 855 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 1: I see with the taxes coming up next to you know, 856 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 1: I don't spend a ton of time on taxes. I 857 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 1: love to talk for this on TV. I think mostly 858 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: because it's it's a clear story to tell. You know, 859 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 1: let's talk about taxes, because it's an opportunity for everybody 860 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,359 Speaker 1: to kind of talk about the Trump agenda and get 861 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,400 Speaker 1: excited about it. And if we talk about a lot 862 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 1: and then it happens, it will look good for the administration, 863 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,719 Speaker 1: will be good for Republicans. Okay, Um, I get all 864 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,359 Speaker 1: that on. With all that fine, but I also try 865 00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:01,320 Speaker 1: to keep it real and I think that there's uh 866 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: it's tax thing. First of all, I'm not sure it's 867 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 1: gonna get done, although I said, but is it gonna 868 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,360 Speaker 1: be as good as they all tell? Us. Is I 869 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,720 Speaker 1: got an even better question for you, is tax reform 870 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 1: as it will be passed by Republicans without it's giveaways 871 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:27,759 Speaker 1: and special favors and special interest uh carve outs. I 872 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: don't think so. I think we should be I think 873 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 1: we should expect or we should approach tax reform as 874 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 1: conservatives with a bit more skepticism. It's not to say 875 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,239 Speaker 1: I don't want it to happen. It's not to say 876 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,479 Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be good. I'm just saying, let's 877 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 1: not get all swept up in the in the big 878 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,280 Speaker 1: party here, in the big parade, like whoa tax reform? 879 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:49,840 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you are already. You're like 880 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 1: dancing out, You're dancing at your seat, like tax reform 881 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 1: is gonna be amazing. But I will give you another 882 00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,479 Speaker 1: side of this, perhaps more skeptical look at the tax 883 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,640 Speaker 1: building you'll get from some other conservatives, like, look, Trump 884 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 1: needs to get points on the board. I get it, 885 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 1: and forget about Trump. Republican Congress needs to get points 886 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: on the board. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't look 887 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 1: at it and say, hmmm, So we'll do that right 888 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,319 Speaker 1: after this break in the next hour, team we will 889 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 1: talk about the massive terrorist attack that happened in the 890 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 1: SIGINAI looks like the Islamic State was responsible for over 891 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:26,760 Speaker 1: three hundred killed. I will give you a buck brief 892 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,840 Speaker 1: on that. Will also talk about a modern day slave 893 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,360 Speaker 1: auction going on in Libya. It's appalling stuff. Media is 894 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 1: not spending much time at all on that. And we 895 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 1: will have a representative Shawn Duffy joining us shortly from 896 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,839 Speaker 1: the Congress to talk about Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and 897 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,680 Speaker 1: a little bit on on taxes. Where we go from 898 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 1: there and also fit in some talk some quick talk 899 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 1: about the NFL at the end of this hour. But 900 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,880 Speaker 1: I want it because you know you come to this 901 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 1: shop for for honesty, my friends, I wanted to just 902 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 1: point out that this tax thing is not necessarily it's 903 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,759 Speaker 1: it's gonna be imperfect. Right. We are watching the all 904 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 1: those usual cliches apply about you don't want to see 905 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 1: the sausage made of politics. That's all true. The Wall 906 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 1: Street Journal has a piece to that effect. If the 907 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 1: tax overhaul smells fishy, they right, it's probably the samoa 908 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:27,799 Speaker 1: and tuna plant. Ah. Here is the beginning. While partisans 909 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 1: squabble over whether the Republican tax overhaul and Congress benefits 910 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 1: the middle class or the wealthy. Part of the proposed 911 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 1: legislation is going over swimmingly in Pago Pago. The House plan, 912 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: which would reinstate a tax break for a tuna cannery 913 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:49,040 Speaker 1: in American Samoa's capital city, could provide about ten million 914 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,640 Speaker 1: dollars a year two star kissed company, the territory's largest 915 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 1: private employer. But in addition to netting gains for Samoa 916 00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:01,120 Speaker 1: and tuna, lawmakers have festooned the four hundred and fifty 917 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:05,320 Speaker 1: page House bill and it's five hundred and fifteen page 918 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 1: Senate counterpart with provisions including microbreweries, bicycle commuters, orange growers 919 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 1: in Florida, volunteer firefighters in Maine, and a company that 920 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,600 Speaker 1: manufactures organic salad dressing and I will put in there, 921 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 1: hopefully gluten free. In broad terms, the legislations leaks seeks 922 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 1: to overhaul and streamline the U S tax code and 923 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 1: make the American economy more competitive. In practice, however, it's 924 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:37,080 Speaker 1: the sort of ambitious, fast moving policy train that gives 925 00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:41,600 Speaker 1: individual lawmakers leverage to win support for the bill. Congressional 926 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 1: leaders sometimes allow members to hitch their own parochial wagons 927 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: for the ride. Ah yeah, everybody, that's right. Pork. There's 928 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 1: gonna be some pork in this and not the delicious 929 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,400 Speaker 1: smoked kind that I'm hoping all of you enjoyed either 930 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,799 Speaker 1: for breakfast or fare Thanksgiving fe over the weekend. Not. 931 00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 1: This is not yummy pork. This is bad pork. It 932 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:07,399 Speaker 1: is swamp pork. That is a part of this tax bill. 933 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:11,840 Speaker 1: It's happening now. Maybe it'll be limited, maybe it'll be 934 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 1: pretty small in the grand scheme of things, but uh, 935 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:22,319 Speaker 1: it's discouraging. I would also note that, and I'm sure 936 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,239 Speaker 1: many of you picked up on this, it is discouraging 937 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:28,880 Speaker 1: that a bill to dramatically simplify the tax code is 938 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,799 Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of pages long. Why does it have 939 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:39,200 Speaker 1: to be so long? Brevity is the key to transparency 940 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 1: when it comes to taxes, you know this, So why 941 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,359 Speaker 1: do we have to have all these additional pages? Why 942 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,440 Speaker 1: do we have to have all this other stuff? Wow, 943 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,439 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying 944 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,239 Speaker 1: be careful. You know. I'm not saying don't have fun. 945 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 1: I'm just saying be home by midnight and don't drink 946 00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 1: too much. I mean, I'm I'm just saying it's I'm 947 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,359 Speaker 1: trying to be a little bit of a little little 948 00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,839 Speaker 1: bit of a I don't know of a warner. No, 949 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,759 Speaker 1: that's not what it trut I'm trying to express my 950 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 1: concerns here, uh that we should we should be skeptical, 951 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,799 Speaker 1: be skeptical of this tax. But I don't want you 952 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:16,799 Speaker 1: to be disappointed when it comes out and you're like, 953 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 1: wait a second, I'm not I'm not keeping any more 954 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 1: of my money, really, And corporations get a great gig 955 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:27,680 Speaker 1: And what's with this samoan tuna cannary stuff in there? Yeah, 956 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 1: that's happening. No one said the swamp is gonna get 957 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,320 Speaker 1: drained overnight. But let's let's keep an eye out for 958 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,439 Speaker 1: additional puddles that are popping up here and there, because 959 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 1: I see some puddles in this tax reform that they're 960 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,040 Speaker 1: talking about.

Uh, 982 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,120 Speaker 1: what what's your take on what's going on with the CFPB, 983 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 1: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We've got two people running 984 00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,800 Speaker 1: it apparently, right. So, first of all, this is an 985 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 1: agency that has been thrust into the limelight since the 986 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 1: departure of Richard Cordray. But those of us on the 987 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 1: Financial Service Committee in the House have been chasing this 988 00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,080 Speaker 1: dog ever since it was created and stood up in 989 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven. So this you've got to think 990 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 1: about this agency and how Democrats do the world. The 991 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,720 Speaker 1: agency was set up um where it doesn't get appropriated, 992 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 1: doesn't get its money through Congress. They actually draw their 993 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 1: cash from the Federal Reserve, so they don't answer it 994 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,160 Speaker 1: to us on money. They have a single director that 995 00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:21,160 Speaker 1: can have a political agenda, so power isn't diversified amongst 996 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 1: the parties, and basically they can run rough shod saying 997 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:30,160 Speaker 1: they're implementing policies that help consumers. All the while they're 998 00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 1: there to promote a certain ideological agenda, which frankly is 999 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 1: a left wing Elizabeth Warren Ask agenda. So that we 1000 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 1: now have retard coordrate gone, and Mick mulvany, who served 1001 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,400 Speaker 1: out financial services with me as well and knows the 1002 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,560 Speaker 1: agency incredibly well, we can start to rein it in. 1003 00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 1: We want to protect consumer spot that's a that's a 1004 00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:52,680 Speaker 1: that's a great objective, But this agency wasn't necessarily uh 1005 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 1: protecting consumers. They were again promoting an agenda what is 1006 00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 1: and I know you've you've co sponsored bipartisan legislation to 1007 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 1: reform the CFPB, but what is this issue? It is 1008 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,480 Speaker 1: like a succession battle going on here with Cordrey and 1009 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,200 Speaker 1: then who gets to a point and can you just 1010 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 1: explain to folks what that hubbub is about and who's 1011 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 1: right and who's not. So First of all, it goes 1012 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,960 Speaker 1: to the power that was created in this agency. Um. 1013 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,160 Speaker 1: There's language and dot frank that would indicate that the 1014 00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 1: departing director can appoint their introim successor, which is absolutely outrageous. UM. 1015 00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: Where you know we have the Vacancies Act where the 1016 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 1: actual president is able to appoint acting directors until he 1017 00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,120 Speaker 1: appoints a full time director of an agency. UM. And 1018 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,480 Speaker 1: so is you look at a power struggle between the 1019 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 1: president and an exiting director of a bureau. UM. I 1020 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 1: think the courts are gonna decide with the President and 1021 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:52,080 Speaker 1: Mick Mulbeny as the true uh director of the CMPB. 1022 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:57,480 Speaker 1: But again, this this underscores what Democrats were doing when 1023 00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,440 Speaker 1: they created this agency, which was the try to make 1024 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 1: it all powerful and removed from political checks and balances 1025 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,080 Speaker 1: and UM, to your listeners, this was the brainchild of 1026 01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren. This was her vision to make this agency 1027 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 1: um and making not accountable to to the elected representatives 1028 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,520 Speaker 1: of the people, which means it's not accountable to the 1029 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,360 Speaker 1: American people. Congressman, it sounds a bit and we're speaking 1030 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,600 Speaker 1: to Congressman uh Duffy of Wisconsin, it sounds a bit 1031 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 1: like this was a an agency created by four uh 1032 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,440 Speaker 1: and and under the under the auspices of social justice warriors, right, 1033 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean that they create this entity that can do 1034 01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,959 Speaker 1: all these things that Elizabeth Warren wants to do. Uh, 1035 01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,280 Speaker 1: it is by four and of the s j w s, 1036 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,280 Speaker 1: they can replace themselves going forward. They can even try 1037 01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: to override the president's ability to fill a vacancy. I mean, 1038 01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,200 Speaker 1: is this whole CFPB thing even a good idea in 1039 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:57,200 Speaker 1: the first place. So listening protecting consumers buck is always 1040 01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:00,600 Speaker 1: a good thing. And when people are abused by a 1041 01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 1: financial institution treated on fairly, we want to give them 1042 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,840 Speaker 1: an outlet in the space to have, um, you know, 1043 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,919 Speaker 1: some kind of ability to write from your congress. Can't 1044 01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,360 Speaker 1: you guys just pass a law. I mean, you guys 1045 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,840 Speaker 1: pass a lot of loss. Yeah, no, no, we can't. 1046 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:19,320 Speaker 1: And Frankly, this agency was a consolidation of power that 1047 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,400 Speaker 1: you had within the FBI C and the o c 1048 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,640 Speaker 1: C in the Federal Reserve. I mean, other agencies had 1049 01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:28,280 Speaker 1: the ability to hold financial institutions accountable when they didn't 1050 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,480 Speaker 1: protect consumers. All they've done is consolidated here on the 1051 01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:35,040 Speaker 1: CPB and made it incredibly powerful. And um, you've seen 1052 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 1: them adjecate on behalf of the interests of the trial 1053 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 1: bar also price surprise, right, but I mean that the 1054 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 1: liberals support the trial bar. Um. They don't even follow 1055 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:46,560 Speaker 1: They haven't even followed the laws themselves. This is getting 1056 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,320 Speaker 1: into the leeds. But they weren't supposed to regulate auto loans, 1057 01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 1: and they've by way of banks who sell auto loans 1058 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:57,000 Speaker 1: to banks, they're now regulating the kind of products that 1059 01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,080 Speaker 1: you can be offered when you go into a dealership 1060 01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:02,800 Speaker 1: to by far um and you're claiming racism in loan 1061 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:07,240 Speaker 1: rates will auto the auto industry is so competitive, Um, 1062 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,400 Speaker 1: you're getting the best rate by shopping from dealer to dealer. 1063 01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,960 Speaker 1: They did a total bogus study. They try to project 1064 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 1: racism on the auto lending industry. They pay They went 1065 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,920 Speaker 1: after payday loans to right then payday loans, and the 1066 01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 1: problem there is all payday loans aren't great. But if 1067 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,040 Speaker 1: you don't have money to buy milk and you're only 1068 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 1: act or to fix your car and you lose your job. 1069 01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,160 Speaker 1: If you don't fix your car and no one's gonna 1070 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,960 Speaker 1: lend you money except the payday lender, you need to 1071 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:34,840 Speaker 1: get people access to cash. It may not be the 1072 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:38,560 Speaker 1: best um, the best rate, but if you can't get money, 1073 01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:40,919 Speaker 1: you lose your job. You're that much deeper in the whole. 1074 01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,080 Speaker 1: So they haven't really thought through kind of good policy 1075 01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,840 Speaker 1: in the situations that people find themselves in. Again, you're 1076 01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 1: at their social justice wires. And by the way, under 1077 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,640 Speaker 1: the leadership of Richard Coudray, who was the exiting director, 1078 01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:57,040 Speaker 1: the claims of racism and sexism inside the Bureau is 1079 01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:00,240 Speaker 1: they're outrageous. You look them up online and you'll you'll 1080 01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 1: be shocked to find out what they were doing. Is 1081 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 1: it true, and the congressmen, is it true that the 1082 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:08,360 Speaker 1: way that Consumer Financial Protection Bureau currently works is that 1083 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:12,360 Speaker 1: they can go after some business and then the settlement 1084 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,760 Speaker 1: money they distribute it to whomever they kind of want 1085 01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,080 Speaker 1: as victims. I mean that that seems crazy to me. 1086 01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 1: So what they did is, um, they were able to 1087 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,840 Speaker 1: structure settlements. So when you think of a settlement, the 1088 01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,200 Speaker 1: victims should be made whole. And if there's not any 1089 01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:29,880 Speaker 1: money left over in the settlement, it should go to 1090 01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:33,200 Speaker 1: the federal coffers, which is for the American people. But 1091 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,160 Speaker 1: what they did is they actually repealing some of the 1092 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,960 Speaker 1: settlement money off and directing it to their favorite liberal 1093 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 1: progressive group. UM. That in essence will help fund the 1094 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,600 Speaker 1: left politics. UM. And frankly, if you're going to send 1095 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 1: money to a liberal outside group, you have to appropriate 1096 01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:53,080 Speaker 1: that money through Congress. You can't let the CFPB appropriate 1097 01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 1: money through settlements to their favorite liberal group. And that's 1098 01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,520 Speaker 1: exactly what they were doing. That's astonishing our confine. I 1099 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,480 Speaker 1: know you're busy, guy, Just just real quick before we 1100 01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 1: let you go. Uh, this tax reform gonna happen before 1101 01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,760 Speaker 1: we all go on our Christmas holiday. I'm bullish, buck. 1102 01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,400 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna happen. Uh. You know, the House 1103 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:14,200 Speaker 1: passed our tax reform bill. The Senate, Uh, they've been 1104 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:17,600 Speaker 1: tweaking and modifying their bill. We're seeing more senators who 1105 01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,560 Speaker 1: had questions actually get on board. And so I think 1106 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,400 Speaker 1: the Senate will pass their bill. Now the question becomes 1107 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,440 Speaker 1: when we go to conference, which is the negotiation between 1108 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:28,560 Speaker 1: the House bill and the Senate bill. Can we get 1109 01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,000 Speaker 1: that done in a in a week's period of time 1110 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:32,919 Speaker 1: or ten days period of time so we can get 1111 01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,040 Speaker 1: this actually done before Christmas. Do you have any big 1112 01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,080 Speaker 1: concerns or problems with the House bill as it stands 1113 01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:40,760 Speaker 1: right now? Yeah, listen, So we have some issues with 1114 01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:44,360 Speaker 1: this the pass through the small the small business tax, 1115 01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,120 Speaker 1: and we knew there are problems with it um and 1116 01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,160 Speaker 1: we're we've we've been continually tweaking it and modifying it 1117 01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,560 Speaker 1: um and so it's improving. So yeah, that's that's been 1118 01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 1: a problem, but it's getting better and we're gonna get 1119 01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:57,360 Speaker 1: it right by the time this bill gets to the 1120 01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:59,800 Speaker 1: House store in the Senate. For get you sent to 1121 01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,160 Speaker 1: the isn't it so? But beyond that, this is a 1122 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 1: great film making America competitive again in this global competitive environment, 1123 01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:10,160 Speaker 1: letting middle income people keep more of their salary. This 1124 01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:14,040 Speaker 1: is great for the American economy. And though liberals bash this, 1125 01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,560 Speaker 1: you will see this top and grower economy. People will 1126 01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 1: have more opportunity for more jobs and better paying jobs. 1127 01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,800 Speaker 1: It's going to be excellent for the Republican Party because 1128 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 1: it's excellent for America. All right, Congressman Sean Duffia, Wisconsin, everybody, Congressman, 1129 01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,120 Speaker 1: thanks so much, come back soon. Absolutely, Black have a 1130 01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,560 Speaker 1: good one too. Well. You know, there you have it, 1131 01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,880 Speaker 1: the CFPB. You know, I knew that was it was 1132 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,200 Speaker 1: a Obama administration that created this thing. I knew that 1133 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:40,960 Speaker 1: was gonna be We all knew that was gonna be 1134 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,160 Speaker 1: a disaster. Right. I wish everybody were a little bit 1135 01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 1: more familiar. And when I say that, I just mean 1136 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,520 Speaker 1: I wish there was great your coverage and attention put 1137 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,840 Speaker 1: on how the everyone was talking about the bank bailouts 1138 01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,120 Speaker 1: and the stim and the Obama trillion dollar stimulus like 1139 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,160 Speaker 1: these were. The one one was about whether you believe 1140 01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,200 Speaker 1: it or not trying to save or believe was the 1141 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:01,760 Speaker 1: right thing to do or not trying to save the 1142 01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:05,400 Speaker 1: financial industry. The other was just, hey, the administration wants 1143 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,040 Speaker 1: to spend a trillion dollars of taxpayer money. And it 1144 01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,280 Speaker 1: was a grand bag for left wing special interest. I 1145 01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:15,240 Speaker 1: mean it was you know, they they burst Uncle Sam's 1146 01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:17,600 Speaker 1: pinata wide open. On that one. There was there were 1147 01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:21,000 Speaker 1: cash and goodies on the left for all kinds of folks, 1148 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:26,320 Speaker 1: all kinds of folks, and it just doesn't really get 1149 01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:30,000 Speaker 1: the uh. It doesn't get the amount of coverage certainly 1150 01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:31,920 Speaker 1: that it should have then and even today. I think 1151 01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:35,880 Speaker 1: the familiarity with what a debacle that was should be. 1152 01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 1: I wish it were a lot higher than than it is. 1153 01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 1: But CFPB, you gotta love it. Man. You got a 1154 01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:45,440 Speaker 1: bureaucrat who's like, no, I'm gonna point my successor sorry whatever, President, 1155 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,080 Speaker 1: Who do you think? Who do you think you are? 1156 01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:53,240 Speaker 1: President Trump? I'm the guy running the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1157 01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:56,440 Speaker 1: which I should note, don't you know, you know you 1158 01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:02,520 Speaker 1: don't wanna rely on a federal agency? Do you involve 1159 01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 1: itself out outside of the legislative process of laws, right, 1160 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,240 Speaker 1: just to involve itself in determining what what's good for 1161 01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:11,360 Speaker 1: you and what's not, because that's really what ends up 1162 01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,000 Speaker 1: happening here once it leaves the realm of criminality. Right, 1163 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,880 Speaker 1: there's a very basic role that the state has to 1164 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:20,240 Speaker 1: play with, you know, enforcing contracts. Right if somebody if 1165 01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,520 Speaker 1: you give somebody, you know, two hundred college for a 1166 01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,920 Speaker 1: house and they're like, sorry, not giving you the house. Now, 1167 01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,320 Speaker 1: the government has to step in and do something. But 1168 01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:30,280 Speaker 1: what the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau really does is you're 1169 01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,960 Speaker 1: gonna give somebody two large for a house and they're like, 1170 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, do you really is that house really a 1171 01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 1: goodbye for you? Do you wanna? I mean there's a simplification, 1172 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,760 Speaker 1: but that's kind of what they do. Or they'll say, well, 1173 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:42,760 Speaker 1: you know that house that you bought willingly, you shouldn't 1174 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,200 Speaker 1: have been allowed to buy that house because it's you know, 1175 01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,520 Speaker 1: way more acreage than you need or something, right, I mean, 1176 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 1: that's you have a lot of that going on. All right, team, 1177 01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna I went to an NFL game, so I 1178 01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:54,440 Speaker 1: want to talk to you just for a moment about that, 1179 01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:57,320 Speaker 1: some NFL thoughts, you know, post Thanksgiving chat, and then 1180 01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 1: third hour deep dive national security, the huge terror attack 1181 01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:04,440 Speaker 1: in Egypt, also a slave auction, modern day going on 1182 01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,200 Speaker 1: in Libya, talcument, that and much more. Stay with me, 1183 01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:09,760 Speaker 1: all right, everybody, So I want to take a little 1184 01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,400 Speaker 1: break here from all the politics and the national security 1185 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,120 Speaker 1: and everything else going on to let you know that 1186 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:20,599 Speaker 1: I had my first NFL experience of of this season 1187 01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,839 Speaker 1: just over the weekend on on Sunday, MS Molly's family 1188 01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:29,439 Speaker 1: very kindly invited me to a a Jets game. Molly 1189 01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,400 Speaker 1: very calmly and politely explained to me when I asked 1190 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,800 Speaker 1: where the stadium was that, in fact, the Giants, whom 1191 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 1: I am by family loyalty obligated to support, and the 1192 01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:42,320 Speaker 1: Jets play in the same stadium, which I will not 1193 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:47,200 Speaker 1: lie I was unaware of. So my sports knowledge is, uh, 1194 01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:49,960 Speaker 1: let's just say I know more about like tennis and 1195 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,519 Speaker 1: basketball and soccer because I played them than I do 1196 01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:56,519 Speaker 1: about football sometimes. Nonetheless, I went to a Jets game, 1197 01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 1: wanted to share some thoughts, and of course we're talking 1198 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 1: to NFL. I've got tyrone right here. I did you 1199 01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:01,760 Speaker 1: go to any games or watch a lot of games 1200 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,400 Speaker 1: over the weekend over Thanksgiving break? I did end up watching. 1201 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,479 Speaker 1: This is by far the most football I've watched in 1202 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:10,320 Speaker 1: a while, actually this weekend, because I intentionally made myself 1203 01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,639 Speaker 1: not busy. So so you're you're eating a lot of stuffing, 1204 01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 1: cranberry sauce and bronzino because you are not, in fact 1205 01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,720 Speaker 1: a turkey eater. So I was eating all that, So 1206 01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:21,960 Speaker 1: I did, wait, what's the choice, your peest Guterian, what's 1207 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:25,559 Speaker 1: the fish of choice. Sam is my favorite. Okay, Sam 1208 01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:27,080 Speaker 1: is my favorite. So I had a lot of salmon, 1209 01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 1: a lot of shrimp. I love shrimp. It was Molly 1210 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,479 Speaker 1: hate shrimp, which is great because whatever we got to 1211 01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 1: eat together, if we're like an event or or whatever, 1212 01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,120 Speaker 1: I always eat all of her all of her shrimp, 1213 01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,439 Speaker 1: because you know, she literally thinks they're just She's like, 1214 01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:40,439 Speaker 1: why do you eat that. I'm like, because it's amazing. 1215 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,880 Speaker 1: It's good. That's a nice perk. Yeah, no, it's not bad. 1216 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,439 Speaker 1: We got We're a good team as a result. But so, okay, 1217 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,519 Speaker 1: so I want to first of all, best game or 1218 01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,120 Speaker 1: the weekend? Any any any thoughts for me? I don't 1219 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:50,840 Speaker 1: wanna tell you what I saw at Jets Stadium, and 1220 01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:52,439 Speaker 1: you can let me know what you think. The best 1221 01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,320 Speaker 1: game was the Sunday night game, ironically the final game. 1222 01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,880 Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers and the Steelers went down to 1223 01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,600 Speaker 1: the wire and a field goal as time expired to 1224 01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:03,599 Speaker 1: Stealers one. So that was the best game top to bottom. 1225 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 1: There was only but that wasn't even supposed to be 1226 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,960 Speaker 1: a good game that the NFL schedule was week this week. 1227 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,519 Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It wasn't particularly exciting, and I just 1228 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,120 Speaker 1: wanted to put out there that the game that I saw, 1229 01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:18,439 Speaker 1: which was the Jets versus the Carolina Panthers, I mean 1230 01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,240 Speaker 1: the first the first half or so, it was kind 1231 01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,280 Speaker 1: of like watching shuffle board. It was not a and 1232 01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:26,240 Speaker 1: not a probably strong product, which I know we've talked 1233 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,040 Speaker 1: about how the NFL is not having a great year 1234 01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:29,920 Speaker 1: in terms of what's going on in the field. But 1235 01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:31,240 Speaker 1: even before I get to that, I just want to 1236 01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:34,160 Speaker 1: note that the opening of that game, because I was 1237 01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:35,760 Speaker 1: there for the whole open had to get there early 1238 01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:38,400 Speaker 1: because was whether at the family and everything. Uh, there 1239 01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:43,320 Speaker 1: were more tributes to the troops, American flags, and more 1240 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:48,240 Speaker 1: patriotic Americana on display than any event I've seen short 1241 01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,639 Speaker 1: of the Fourth of July. I mean, it was all 1242 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,759 Speaker 1: in on that stuff. And I will say the NFL 1243 01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:55,559 Speaker 1: will they were paid to do that, and all the 1244 01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,080 Speaker 1: team if you go to any football game, that's how 1245 01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,080 Speaker 1: they all are all and every NFL game is like that. 1246 01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:06,519 Speaker 1: They're all like that. So that's why, Um, when people 1247 01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:10,439 Speaker 1: say automatically that the players, I'm saying collectively hate the truth, 1248 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I'm saying the neils are wrong, but 1249 01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:17,280 Speaker 1: the players don't there's a lot of patriotsism at these games. 1250 01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:19,960 Speaker 1: It was I mean, I'm just this was as a 1251 01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,200 Speaker 1: viewer in the stands who was really having to watch 1252 01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 1: the whole thing for everyone stood for the anthem, and 1253 01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,479 Speaker 1: it was it was a love fest for the troops. 1254 01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 1: I mean the opening of the game from and I 1255 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,599 Speaker 1: mean from the players to the coaches, to everything going 1256 01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,360 Speaker 1: on in the stadium. I mean they were bringing out 1257 01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:36,800 Speaker 1: like National Guard people to shake their hands and they 1258 01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:38,720 Speaker 1: were doing they were literally doing tributes to them. So 1259 01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:41,240 Speaker 1: it just was interesting because much of the narrative that 1260 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:42,960 Speaker 1: we're always here is you know, these four guys Neil 1261 01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,559 Speaker 1: or whatever, I'm staying there. I'm like, this is there's 1262 01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,840 Speaker 1: more pro America pro troops stuff going on in this 1263 01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 1: thirty minutes or so before this football game than at 1264 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:53,280 Speaker 1: any sporting event of any kind I've ever been to. 1265 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,960 Speaker 1: And most teams, i would say more than half the 1266 01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,880 Speaker 1: teams always when a troop comes home that lives in 1267 01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 1: that city, they do of the quote unquote surprised. The 1268 01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,080 Speaker 1: problem is they do it so often the family members 1269 01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,479 Speaker 1: kind of like looking around, like where's my husband, where's 1270 01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 1: my you know, where's my dad? Because a troop comes 1271 01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:13,920 Speaker 1: home at half times they do it. So there were 1272 01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 1: two two stories over the weekend. I want to get 1273 01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:16,880 Speaker 1: your take on real quick here before we got to 1274 01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 1: get into some national security and a buck brief for 1275 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,960 Speaker 1: the next hour. And that is uh one, what happened 1276 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:24,840 Speaker 1: with there's a coach. I look, I really don't know 1277 01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,479 Speaker 1: about this, but there's a wait, actually hold off on 1278 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,000 Speaker 1: that one. Somebody got into a fight. Why there was 1279 01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,840 Speaker 1: a nasty fight. I saw it. It was because last 1280 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:37,000 Speaker 1: season when these two teams played, the Raiders and the 1281 01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:40,800 Speaker 1: Broncos played, but one of the defensive back when the 1282 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:44,080 Speaker 1: other team snatched the wide receiver's chain and the wide 1283 01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,880 Speaker 1: receiver took it and took a lot of flank on 1284 01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,599 Speaker 1: social media in the locker room about hey, you let 1285 01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,920 Speaker 1: a guy literally steal your chain. Sure enough, first quarter, 1286 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,799 Speaker 1: the guy goes up and he snatches his chain again, 1287 01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,920 Speaker 1: and this time the guy couldn't have it and started fighting. 1288 01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 1: But it was kind of that I don't knowized there 1289 01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:02,920 Speaker 1: was that back story. It was a backstory, so it 1290 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:05,599 Speaker 1: was almost like once he got his chain snatched, he 1291 01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,080 Speaker 1: had to fight and let somebody snatch your chair. Definitely 1292 01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,719 Speaker 1: not twice, right, you can still m chain one. Shame 1293 01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:13,040 Speaker 1: on you. She still m chain twice, you know, shame 1294 01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,040 Speaker 1: on me. Um. But okay, So that's that story and 1295 01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,120 Speaker 1: the fight if people didn't see it was pretty for NFL. 1296 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,200 Speaker 1: It was pretty extended. I mean, there were real swings 1297 01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,320 Speaker 1: being taken. It wasn't the usual like chess bumping the 1298 01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:26,000 Speaker 1: chess bumping. But then on a on a more serious note, 1299 01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,439 Speaker 1: I saw this just sort of out of the side 1300 01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:30,960 Speaker 1: of my eye in social media. I wasn't really paying 1301 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:34,360 Speaker 1: close tension. But there's some big problem with it. Ties 1302 01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:37,040 Speaker 1: into Penn State and a new coach somewhere. What's going on? 1303 01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 1: So quickly Tennessee higher Greg Ciano, who used to be 1304 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 1: Rutgers head coach but it used to be an assistant 1305 01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,120 Speaker 1: at Penn State, he signed basically a letter of intent 1306 01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:50,400 Speaker 1: to be their head coach. A Twitter mob lost their 1307 01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:55,719 Speaker 1: minds because someone testified previously during the Jerry Sandusky child 1308 01:13:56,479 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 1: molestation issue that Sanu knew about it and didn't say anything. 1309 01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 1: There has been reporting that they dug into this, and 1310 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:08,200 Speaker 1: they can't find any proof that that's true, but that 1311 01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,639 Speaker 1: was enough to get him pushed out. And it's it's 1312 01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,639 Speaker 1: really sad because I can only say, and I'm biased, 1313 01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,920 Speaker 1: I went to Rutgers. I've met the man, I've met 1314 01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:17,920 Speaker 1: his wife and his kids. He always came off to 1315 01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:21,000 Speaker 1: me like a nice, upstanding guy. I don't think he's 1316 01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:22,519 Speaker 1: a great football coach, by the way, And if he 1317 01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:24,960 Speaker 1: was a great football coach, he probably would have survived, 1318 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:27,920 Speaker 1: I will say, but he's not a good enough coach 1319 01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:32,080 Speaker 1: to overcome this unfair lynch mobl society. So in the 1320 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:36,040 Speaker 1: Greatness and the Greatness scandal matrix, he was a loser 1321 01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:38,920 Speaker 1: in this one because of the particular sensitivities right now 1322 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:41,639 Speaker 1: about any I mean child mal station being the worst 1323 01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 1: possible sex but anything like that at all, you're done right. 1324 01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:47,360 Speaker 1: And he went to the NFL again. At Rutgers, he 1325 01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,479 Speaker 1: was a good coach, but he didn't win big. He 1326 01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:51,920 Speaker 1: went to the NFL and failed, and now he's an 1327 01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:54,519 Speaker 1: assistant coach at Ohio State. I think he would have 1328 01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 1: been a solid higher, but he's not a home run higher. 1329 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,120 Speaker 1: And that was enough for people to say, you know what, 1330 01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 1: any dirt on this guy, we're gonna kill him. But 1331 01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:03,720 Speaker 1: I just want to say, for the record, it was 1332 01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,880 Speaker 1: very unfair. There's no proof that he knew about what 1333 01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:10,640 Speaker 1: Jerry Sandusky was doing and this cost him millions of 1334 01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,240 Speaker 1: dollars and it's going to be And what's worse is 1335 01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:16,000 Speaker 1: but there's on the other side, Tennessee. Good luck hirer 1336 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:19,240 Speaker 1: coach now, yeah, because if you have other options while 1337 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:22,240 Speaker 1: go there, Twitter can get you fired before you even 1338 01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:24,840 Speaker 1: get higher. It's amazing. All right, Well time man, I 1339 01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,280 Speaker 1: was interested to go see a game. Thank you for 1340 01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,400 Speaker 1: shedding light on everything going on in the NFL and 1341 01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:32,400 Speaker 1: the world of sports. And we're gonna come back in 1342 01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:34,960 Speaker 1: the next hour. Here team with a deep dive on 1343 01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,639 Speaker 1: the massive terrorist attack in Egypt, which do not get 1344 01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 1: nearly enough media tention because the media was on vacation. 1345 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,120 Speaker 1: And also we'll talk about what's going on in Libya 1346 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,240 Speaker 1: story probably haven't heard there. And then some team buck 1347 01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:50,639 Speaker 1: speaks some Thanksgiving thoughts. We'll be right back. You are 1348 01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:55,880 Speaker 1: now entering the Freedom Technical Operations Center. All sensitive programs 1349 01:15:55,960 --> 01:16:00,120 Speaker 1: must be kept strictly. Need to know Team buckets clear 1350 01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:06,920 Speaker 1: and ready to buckbrief. A horrific terrorist attack in the 1351 01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:14,080 Speaker 1: Sinai Peninsula region of Egypt killed three hundred and five men, 1352 01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:21,000 Speaker 1: women and children on Friday. The UH worshippers at the 1353 01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:28,439 Speaker 1: Rawa raw Da Mosque. We're trying to escaped by any 1354 01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:33,639 Speaker 1: means possible, but all means of egress, all exits were 1355 01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:38,479 Speaker 1: blocked by a murderous group of a few dozen. It 1356 01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:43,639 Speaker 1: seems isis likely ISIS supporters over the Islamic State has 1357 01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 1: not yet officially claimed responsibility. Answer Bite Alamachus is the 1358 01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:54,160 Speaker 1: name of the j hottest hardline militia that operates in 1359 01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:58,720 Speaker 1: the Sinai region and they have pledged their fealty to 1360 01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:05,640 Speaker 1: the Islamic State. There is also a newly um a 1361 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:12,880 Speaker 1: newly create created Al Qaeda franchise in the Sinai peninsula 1362 01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,080 Speaker 1: that is just getting going as well. So we're not 1363 01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:20,679 Speaker 1: yet clear on this on the specifics of which group 1364 01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,240 Speaker 1: is responsible, but we do know that this was the 1365 01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:29,720 Speaker 1: largest mass casualty attack in recent history in Egypt. You 1366 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:35,840 Speaker 1: had three five killed, hundreds more wounded, and they are 1367 01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:39,040 Speaker 1: more killed in this incident on November, and there were 1368 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:46,000 Speaker 1: even on the October one Russian air bust disaster where 1369 01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:50,839 Speaker 1: ISIS brought down a full plane with an explosive device 1370 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,240 Speaker 1: coming out of Charmel Shake, which is a resort area 1371 01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:58,040 Speaker 1: of the Sinai peninsula. So that killed two twenty four 1372 01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:04,840 Speaker 1: back three hundred were killed on November. And here is 1373 01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:10,360 Speaker 1: how the attack unfolded. You had a few dozen isis 1374 01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:14,640 Speaker 1: UH supporting or al Qaeda supporting. It's really the same thing, 1375 01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:20,680 Speaker 1: jihadists waving the black flag of jihad outside of this, 1376 01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:26,640 Speaker 1: of this mosque which was Sufi now Sufi's are a 1377 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:31,240 Speaker 1: mystical sect of Islam. There are different kinds of of 1378 01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:36,200 Speaker 1: of Sufi's, and Sufi's are considered by Islamic hardliners to 1379 01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:42,880 Speaker 1: be polytheists through what is known as tock fear, which 1380 01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:45,760 Speaker 1: means someone is placed outside the Islamic faith. And there 1381 01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:51,639 Speaker 1: are those like ISIS and al Qaeda who will determine 1382 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,559 Speaker 1: this for themselves. They are the toch fury. They will 1383 01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:57,360 Speaker 1: say that some are tough fear and they will kill 1384 01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:00,360 Speaker 1: fellow Muslims. And this has been going on for a 1385 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,160 Speaker 1: long time. In fact, it's been a long standing feud 1386 01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:08,920 Speaker 1: between the Islamic State and and al Qaeda as to 1387 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:14,680 Speaker 1: whether Muslims, remember these are not. This is not similar 1388 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:18,320 Speaker 1: to the attacks on Yusitis, who are non Muslims right, 1389 01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,920 Speaker 1: who are outside of the Muslim faith entirely. Sufi's are Muslim, 1390 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:28,120 Speaker 1: but they just have different practices and are there, but 1391 01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:32,840 Speaker 1: they are considered to be uh koufar non believers by 1392 01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:37,200 Speaker 1: hardliners like the Islamic State. So they gather outside of 1393 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:41,920 Speaker 1: the Rabda Sufi Mosque and with machine guns and explosives 1394 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:46,200 Speaker 1: just slaughtered everybody. They sealed off all the exits, there 1395 01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:50,479 Speaker 1: was no way out, and with automatic weapons. The Islamic 1396 01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,160 Speaker 1: State just or I keep assuming that it's ISIS. These 1397 01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:58,599 Speaker 1: jihadists murdered everybody that they could. People were crawling over bodies. 1398 01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:03,920 Speaker 1: It was a scene of absolute grotesque carnage. Hundreds of 1399 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:08,320 Speaker 1: people killed, the biggest attack in living memory in Egypt, 1400 01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,960 Speaker 1: and this on the I want to talk about this 1401 01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:13,760 Speaker 1: from the perspective of what it means for ISIS, and 1402 01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,559 Speaker 1: then what's going on in Egypt or what it means 1403 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:20,799 Speaker 1: for the global jihad uh The Islamic State has lost 1404 01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:24,599 Speaker 1: territory in Iraq and Syria. It lost its capital in Rock. 1405 01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:30,479 Speaker 1: There are two obvious ways for ISIS, assuming that they 1406 01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:34,440 Speaker 1: are responsible or that the group aligned with them is responsible. 1407 01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:40,080 Speaker 1: There two obvious ways for ISIS to regain national international prominence, 1408 01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:44,240 Speaker 1: and that would be one through a concern that has 1409 01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:46,679 Speaker 1: to do more with terrorism in Europe in America generally, 1410 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:50,720 Speaker 1: which is returning foreign fighters. People that had joined the 1411 01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,720 Speaker 1: Islamic State in Iraq joined the Islamic Stated Syria and 1412 01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:57,280 Speaker 1: have gone back to Europe and America. That's a major concern. 1413 01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:02,440 Speaker 1: But there are also these affiliates, whether Boko Haram in Nigeria, 1414 01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:06,840 Speaker 1: abusai F and the Philippines, al Qaeda, I'm sorry, the 1415 01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 1: Islamic State in Afghanistan, or the Islamic State in the 1416 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:15,200 Speaker 1: province of Khorassan, and also in the Sinai and Al 1417 01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,360 Speaker 1: Shabab in Somalia. You of all these different groups that 1418 01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:19,320 Speaker 1: are aligned with other ISIS or al Qaida, which is 1419 01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:23,599 Speaker 1: a a designation that has more to do with leadership 1420 01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:26,639 Speaker 1: and succession struggles inside a jihaddest communities that it has 1421 01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:30,200 Speaker 1: to with a difference in ideology. There really isn't much 1422 01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:35,360 Speaker 1: of a difference in the ideology between ISIS and al Qaeda. 1423 01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 1: Tactically they differ, but ideologically they're both pushing for the 1424 01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:43,559 Speaker 1: global jihad. But the affiliates of the Islamic State stepping 1425 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:47,120 Speaker 1: up with a major mass casualty attack would be one 1426 01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:52,240 Speaker 1: way to regain a sense of prominence and to try 1427 01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:56,639 Speaker 1: and restore the narrative that the Islamic state is invincible 1428 01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,720 Speaker 1: and then it will eventually win. Remember that was why 1429 01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:02,280 Speaker 1: you had tens of thousands of people of would be 1430 01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:05,760 Speaker 1: muja Hadeen flocking to the banner of the Islamic state 1431 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:09,880 Speaker 1: in Iraq and Syria. This has now changed. They have 1432 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:14,759 Speaker 1: taken losses, major battlefield losses that they cannot downplay or ignore, 1433 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:19,479 Speaker 1: and therefore their propaganda is also ISIS propaganda is less effective. 1434 01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:24,679 Speaker 1: So a major attack of any kind brings Isis back 1435 01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:30,240 Speaker 1: into the conversation. Now, why would they attack Sufi's which 1436 01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:32,720 Speaker 1: who who are? Who are Muslims? Uh? They did this 1437 01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:37,320 Speaker 1: because these jihadas heart, these jihadas that keeps in Jihada's hardliners. 1438 01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:43,240 Speaker 1: That's really repetitive. But they have a a hard line 1439 01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:48,360 Speaker 1: interpretation of Islam that does not allow for any deviation. 1440 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:51,439 Speaker 1: And in fact they've also targeted Shia as we see 1441 01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:54,840 Speaker 1: in Iraq Shia Muslims who go back all the way 1442 01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:57,920 Speaker 1: to the seventh century as a branch of Islam, go 1443 01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:02,400 Speaker 1: back to the immediate in environs of the prophet Mohammed 1444 01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:07,320 Speaker 1: and the successions struggle afterwards between Ali and uh Abu 1445 01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,800 Speaker 1: Baker and all these. It was a dynastic fight that 1446 01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:17,559 Speaker 1: occurred once the prophet Mohammed died, and that then led 1447 01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:20,599 Speaker 1: to the schism between shoot Sunni Islam and Shia Islam. 1448 01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,519 Speaker 1: The Islamic state will kill Shiah Muslims as well for 1449 01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:30,120 Speaker 1: being nonbelievers, Um, for being being koufar, and they even 1450 01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:36,080 Speaker 1: will call him polytheists, which is usually a pejorative that 1451 01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:41,759 Speaker 1: is um is meant for people in South Asia, for example, 1452 01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,360 Speaker 1: who are Hindus because they say that they worship many gods. 1453 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:48,360 Speaker 1: Hardline Muslims say that polytheists are well they I mean, 1454 01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:51,400 Speaker 1: they are polytheists, right, but that's a terrible insult. From 1455 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:55,800 Speaker 1: the perspective of jihadists. Polytheists are not people of the book, 1456 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:58,360 Speaker 1: They're not Christians, they're not Jews, and so therefore they 1457 01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:01,439 Speaker 1: can just be extreme in it at will with that's 1458 01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:06,680 Speaker 1: the belief within jihattest circles. So they want to re 1459 01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:12,800 Speaker 1: establish there these jihata through their massive blood bath. They 1460 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,639 Speaker 1: want to re establish their prominence on the world stage 1461 01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 1: and also show that they are true believers and that 1462 01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:22,360 Speaker 1: they are absolutely dedicated to the cause, and that anybody 1463 01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:27,160 Speaker 1: who is a deviates from their version of Islam is 1464 01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:32,240 Speaker 1: subject to being killed. There's also a more specific component 1465 01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,680 Speaker 1: of this that has to do with Egypt, which is 1466 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:38,320 Speaker 1: that Egypt, the the one of the first and really 1467 01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:42,400 Speaker 1: the most important state that was the most important state 1468 01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:46,679 Speaker 1: from US interests, that was directly affected by the Arab Spring, 1469 01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:52,240 Speaker 1: is still in a precarious position when it comes to 1470 01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:57,920 Speaker 1: its politics. You have LCSI, who is liked by the West, 1471 01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:01,880 Speaker 1: liked in America, um who is also trying to do 1472 01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,600 Speaker 1: his best to suppress the radicals in his midst but 1473 01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:08,599 Speaker 1: he came to power after an anti Muslim brotherhood coup 1474 01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:11,840 Speaker 1: right Muslim brother had won elections and then where they 1475 01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:16,840 Speaker 1: were tossed out by Alcisi, who was a military guy. Yes, 1476 01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:21,599 Speaker 1: there are some very clear similarities that people draw between 1477 01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,519 Speaker 1: l c C situation as the president of Egypt now 1478 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:29,600 Speaker 1: and the Mubar situation, who was the despot, the strongman 1479 01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:32,439 Speaker 1: in charge of Egypt but very friendly relations with the 1480 01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:35,519 Speaker 1: US for years and years, who was deposed as part 1481 01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:39,920 Speaker 1: of the Arab Spring. Well, the situation with l c 1482 01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:44,759 Speaker 1: C is that there are elections coming up, They're supposed 1483 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:48,280 Speaker 1: to be elections next year, and there's not a lot 1484 01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:53,439 Speaker 1: that LCCI can point to that has been great for Egypt, 1485 01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:55,880 Speaker 1: other than the Muslim Brotherhood's not in charge, right, which 1486 01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:58,840 Speaker 1: we certainly think is a great thing. But there's been 1487 01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 1: a lot of terrorism in recent years, particularly in the 1488 01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:07,880 Speaker 1: Sinai region. And so when we talk about the destabilizing 1489 01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,519 Speaker 1: acts of terrorists like the Islamic State or an al 1490 01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:13,599 Speaker 1: Qaeda affiliate or any number of different groups in Egypt, 1491 01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,720 Speaker 1: it is to show the people of Egypt that see, 1492 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:21,000 Speaker 1: this autocrat Alcisi can't make you safe. The bargain of 1493 01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:24,559 Speaker 1: trading your democracy for this Remember this is the line 1494 01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:28,200 Speaker 1: from the Islamic cardliners Uh and Muslim brother It still 1495 01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:31,280 Speaker 1: has some pretty serious support in many circles in Egypt. 1496 01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:36,120 Speaker 1: But the bargain of your vote for secure or your 1497 01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,760 Speaker 1: democracy for your security is not even one that is 1498 01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,880 Speaker 1: being upheld by LCCI. Maybe you should try the Muslim 1499 01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:44,559 Speaker 1: Brotherhood again. And oh, by the way, maybe the Muslim 1500 01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:49,639 Speaker 1: Brotherhood will be way more favorable toward these jihadis entities 1501 01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 1: in the Sinai I know, people say all the Muslim 1502 01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:55,080 Speaker 1: Brothers renounced violence, yeah for now, um, and not really, 1503 01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 1: And that's a whole separate conversation but the the political 1504 01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:03,800 Speaker 1: situation Asian in Egypt is fragile. And keep in mind 1505 01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:07,320 Speaker 1: that the Islamic State the global jihad. They want another 1506 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:11,760 Speaker 1: front for jihad. Now that Syria is is on the 1507 01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:16,519 Speaker 1: decline for them as a major, gee, hottest battleground, they're 1508 01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,559 Speaker 1: looking for another one. And if they could destabilize Egypt 1509 01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:23,040 Speaker 1: and set off a a a civil war with the 1510 01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:26,360 Speaker 1: Sinai as a kind of rear guard area for them 1511 01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,799 Speaker 1: and a base of operations, but engaging in mass catualty 1512 01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:35,120 Speaker 1: attacks in Egypt proper Islamic state, that's a strategy they 1513 01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:37,559 Speaker 1: would love to implement. And we have to do everything 1514 01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,680 Speaker 1: we can't encounter it are We're gonna come back and 1515 01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:41,760 Speaker 1: talk about Libya here in just a second, and a 1516 01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:46,920 Speaker 1: modern day slave market that's operating there. It's it's appalling stuff. 1517 01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,479 Speaker 1: Stay with me, so, I mean, that is the land 1518 01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:55,800 Speaker 1: of unconfirmedias we came, we saw, he died. Didn't have 1519 01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:59,439 Speaker 1: anything to do with your visit. I'm sure that was 1520 01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:03,679 Speaker 1: Hillary Linton not long ago when she was Secretary of State. 1521 01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:06,559 Speaker 1: You could say she was asking or answering the question 1522 01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:12,040 Speaker 1: what happened in Libya? Well, now, unfortunately we can turn 1523 01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:16,120 Speaker 1: our sights to what really happened in Libya. It's something 1524 01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:19,080 Speaker 1: that's fallen off of the radar of many folks out 1525 01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:21,760 Speaker 1: there in the foreign policy establishment. Media doesn't really want 1526 01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,320 Speaker 1: to touch it, and there are some reasons for that, 1527 01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:27,400 Speaker 1: which we will get into now. Glenn Reynolds joins us 1528 01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:30,080 Speaker 1: to talk about it. He is a University of Tennessee 1529 01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,840 Speaker 1: law professor and the author of the New School How 1530 01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:36,840 Speaker 1: the Information Age will Save American Education from itself. He 1531 01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:39,719 Speaker 1: also has a piece out and this is in USA today. 1532 01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:45,120 Speaker 1: Africans are being sold as slaves in Libya. Thanks Hillary Clinton, Glenn. 1533 01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,960 Speaker 1: Great to have you on Hi, great to be here. Okay, 1534 01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:53,120 Speaker 1: So Hillary, at the time victory laps no surprise Obama administration. 1535 01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:55,960 Speaker 1: They broke it without buying it, so to speak. In 1536 01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:59,840 Speaker 1: Libya they ousted Kadafi. We're starting to see more and 1537 01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:02,439 Speaker 1: more of what the end results are of this, and 1538 01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:04,479 Speaker 1: it is not good. Glenn, you talked about it in 1539 01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,120 Speaker 1: your piece. Yeah, no, it's a debacle. And you know 1540 01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:10,000 Speaker 1: what set me off on this was I noticed last 1541 01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:12,680 Speaker 1: week two things were going on on Twitter, all the 1542 01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:15,200 Speaker 1: sort of foreign policy pundits that you see there all 1543 01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:17,840 Speaker 1: the time, we're going on about how clueless Donald Trump 1544 01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:20,800 Speaker 1: was and what a disaster Rex Tellerson was, how terrible 1545 01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:23,639 Speaker 1: US foreign policy has become. And at the same time, 1546 01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:27,080 Speaker 1: there was a big story about how literally black Africans 1547 01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:30,240 Speaker 1: were being sold in Libyan slave markets. Uh. And I 1548 01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:32,400 Speaker 1: was like, it's weird that all you people who think 1549 01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:36,320 Speaker 1: Hilary was so great haven't noticed all the debacle she's 1550 01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:39,439 Speaker 1: associated with, and this one in particular, actual black people 1551 01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:42,800 Speaker 1: being sold as actual slaves. You think that would be used, 1552 01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:46,920 Speaker 1: but no, it's not. And uh and it's just really 1553 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean, there were a bunch of debacles, but this 1554 01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:53,400 Speaker 1: one is just sort of the biggest and the least necessary. 1555 01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:55,960 Speaker 1: I would also just note for folks listening that it 1556 01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:59,479 Speaker 1: wasn't often put in these terms, but in the Sudan 1557 01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:02,559 Speaker 1: before it's split and now you have a new country 1558 01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:06,240 Speaker 1: of the South Sudan, the storyline the media wasn't telling 1559 01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:08,400 Speaker 1: folks it was going on for years and years was 1560 01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:13,160 Speaker 1: that you had uh ethnically Arab Muslims from the north 1561 01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:17,560 Speaker 1: who were enslaving black Christians and black Animists in the 1562 01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:20,920 Speaker 1: South of Sudan in large numbers. Human slavery was still 1563 01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,479 Speaker 1: going on years ago still goes on to this day, 1564 01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:26,719 Speaker 1: but media didn't really want to talk about that story. Instead, 1565 01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:29,160 Speaker 1: there were a lot of charity concerts about how to 1566 01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:32,519 Speaker 1: save the Sudan and about darfour, and George Clooney showed 1567 01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:35,479 Speaker 1: up and and that was that. Here in Libya, though, Glenn, 1568 01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:37,760 Speaker 1: I think this is part of the foreign policy of 1569 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:40,840 Speaker 1: the Obama administration that nobody to this day on the 1570 01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:43,479 Speaker 1: left at least really wants to delve into. Because when 1571 01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:47,519 Speaker 1: you add Libya and Syria, you have two enormous data 1572 01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:50,200 Speaker 1: points for massive min East failure when it comes to 1573 01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:53,320 Speaker 1: both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Well, and you can 1574 01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:55,640 Speaker 1: add Yemen to that, which you know, Barack Obama was 1575 01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:58,439 Speaker 1: bragging about being sort of the centerpiece of his anti 1576 01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,240 Speaker 1: terror thing at one point. Now it's it's another debacle, 1577 01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:04,080 Speaker 1: both from a strategic level and from a human rights level. 1578 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:08,200 Speaker 1: But let's go to Libya first. So Olivia was no prize, 1579 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,519 Speaker 1: and you know, Marmar Kadafi was a lousy guy, and 1580 01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,240 Speaker 1: in the abstract I certainly have no problem with removing him, 1581 01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:15,120 Speaker 1: but you know, if you've got to remove a leader, 1582 01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:17,160 Speaker 1: you kind of should have some idea about what's going 1583 01:31:17,200 --> 01:31:20,160 Speaker 1: to come next. And certainly the Democrats who spent years 1584 01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:23,080 Speaker 1: saying that Bush did that with Saddam Hussein and created 1585 01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:26,360 Speaker 1: a mass UH should have known better. But in fact, 1586 01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:30,240 Speaker 1: Hillary and with with her sidekicks Samantha Power and Susan 1587 01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:35,360 Speaker 1: Rice uh Uh wanted to remove Walmar Kadafi for reasons 1588 01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:38,320 Speaker 1: that we're not a clear. Uh. It was a bad 1589 01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 1: place level. He was killing people, but he's done that 1590 01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:41,880 Speaker 1: for a long time, and lots of other countries have 1591 01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:44,680 Speaker 1: done that for a long time without US intervening. But 1592 01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,479 Speaker 1: we did intervene with NATO and some people could I 1593 01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:49,679 Speaker 1: just jump in really quickly to say, Glenn that also 1594 01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:53,280 Speaker 1: Kadafi and Libya were trending toward the West at the 1595 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,640 Speaker 1: time when they decided to get rid of them, at 1596 01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:57,960 Speaker 1: least somewhat. Yeah, And you know, and not not that 1597 01:31:58,040 --> 01:31:59,679 Speaker 1: he was a good guy or a friend, but they 1598 01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:03,400 Speaker 1: were moving at post Bush administration because of the Bush administration, 1599 01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:08,000 Speaker 1: they were moving toward being more cooperative with Europe and America. 1600 01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:10,720 Speaker 1: Still very bad guys, but that's that's absolutely right. And 1601 01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:13,040 Speaker 1: of course behind all of this is in two thousand three, 1602 01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:16,280 Speaker 1: the Bush administration negotiated a deal with Kadafi, who at 1603 01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:18,120 Speaker 1: the time was scared because of what had happened to 1604 01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:21,200 Speaker 1: Saddam Uh for him to give up all those weapons 1605 01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:23,400 Speaker 1: of mass destruction in exchange for a promise from the 1606 01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:26,240 Speaker 1: United States that we wouldn't try to depose him. So 1607 01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:29,800 Speaker 1: fast forward a mere eight years to two thousand eleven, uh, 1608 01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:33,439 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, we're deposing him. So we 1609 01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,120 Speaker 1: get rid of him, and weirdly, instead of becoming a 1610 01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:40,960 Speaker 1: nice place, Libya becomes an even worse place, uh, and 1611 01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:46,000 Speaker 1: becomes an ISIS sanctuary and has multiple regional militias fighting 1612 01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:50,120 Speaker 1: each other, and it's a big mess. And UH that leads, 1613 01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:52,240 Speaker 1: among other things, to the Benghazi debacle, which is a 1614 01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:56,960 Speaker 1: whole separate story. Uh. But with Libya's breakdown into lawlessness 1615 01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:01,280 Speaker 1: and disorder, we get slave markets, UH, we get Libyan militias, 1616 01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 1: we get ISIS influence uh. And UH it's just weird 1617 01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:09,240 Speaker 1: that this gets so little attention from any of the 1618 01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:12,400 Speaker 1: people who certainly would be all over this if it 1619 01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:15,600 Speaker 1: were a Republican administration that was behind it. And I 1620 01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:18,479 Speaker 1: have to note that, you know, if there was one 1621 01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:21,680 Speaker 1: thing that would be particularly difficult for the previous administration 1622 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:24,840 Speaker 1: to do, it would be to point to a Mid 1623 01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:28,000 Speaker 1: East foreign policy success, I think, and in all the 1624 01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:30,720 Speaker 1: areas where they you know, one of the ways that 1625 01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:32,880 Speaker 1: they got away with mistakes that were made or at 1626 01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:35,040 Speaker 1: least able to deflect from what was to say, well, 1627 01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, we inherited Iraq. Afghanistan's not the Middle East, 1628 01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:40,920 Speaker 1: but we inherited Afghanistan from the Bush administration, so we 1629 01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:43,599 Speaker 1: got a bad deal. Libya is one of the few 1630 01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:46,519 Speaker 1: places you can point to where that was. That was 1631 01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:48,800 Speaker 1: a choice by Obama and Hillary. I mean, that was 1632 01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:53,120 Speaker 1: really their move, their deal. It was a war of choice, 1633 01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:57,360 Speaker 1: and it was not congressionally authorized, Unlike you know Iraq 1634 01:33:57,479 --> 01:34:00,520 Speaker 1: or Afghanistan or whatever. There was never any congressional authorization 1635 01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:03,400 Speaker 1: for it at all. Uh. It is now coming around 1636 01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:07,400 Speaker 1: to bite us because, Uh, if you're Kim Jong Oon 1637 01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:09,719 Speaker 1: and people are like, well, just give up your nuclear weapons. 1638 01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:12,519 Speaker 1: We promise we won't depose you, You're not gonna believe that. 1639 01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:15,040 Speaker 1: Won't you break a promise like that, You're screwed for 1640 01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:17,759 Speaker 1: a generation. Nobody's gonna trust you. And frankly, with good reason. 1641 01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:20,920 Speaker 1: If I were a dictator, I wouldn't trust us. Yeah, 1642 01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:24,719 Speaker 1: that's fair enough. Glenn Reynolds everybody, University Tennessee law professor, 1643 01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:27,559 Speaker 1: also on the USA Today Board of contributors.

John writes in with the following 1711 01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:02,960 Speaker 1: He's starts it with a bit of a preamble. I 1712 01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:06,439 Speaker 1: will share the preamble with you. Hair greater than Trump's 1713 01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:11,160 Speaker 1: defender of liberty the man Buck Sexton, I'll take it, 1714 01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:19,839 Speaker 1: thank you. Trump's hair is definitely um, it is definitely unique. 1715 01:38:20,439 --> 01:38:24,519 Speaker 1: So I'm I'll take the Trump hair comparison, and look, 1716 01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:26,479 Speaker 1: you know, the guy still got quite a main. I 1717 01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:29,360 Speaker 1: give him props for it. But here's what John in 1718 01:38:29,439 --> 01:38:32,120 Speaker 1: Texas writes in Buck, I've been listening to you since 1719 01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:35,880 Speaker 1: right after you move off Saturdays. So I'm unfortunately not 1720 01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:38,400 Speaker 1: in the OSS. By the way, did you pick that 1721 01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:42,920 Speaker 1: initial because of its c i A connotations? The answer 1722 01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:47,559 Speaker 1: is yes, so OSS is original Saturday Squad, but it's 1723 01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:50,520 Speaker 1: also the Office of Strategic Services, which was the precursor 1724 01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:54,120 Speaker 1: in World War Two to the c i A run 1725 01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:58,920 Speaker 1: by wild Bill Donovan. And yeah, that was where we 1726 01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:02,240 Speaker 1: got into as some of us. That's why the OSS 1727 01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:04,560 Speaker 1: thing works so well. So Original Saturday Squad are just 1728 01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:05,880 Speaker 1: some of the folks who have been listening to me 1729 01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:09,640 Speaker 1: since before I had a national audience and and a 1730 01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:12,600 Speaker 1: hundred plus stations, right, So I very much appreciate. But hey, 1731 01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:15,200 Speaker 1: if you just listen to today, you're great too. I 1732 01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:18,439 Speaker 1: love all my listeners. I'm like, you know, it's like 1733 01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:20,720 Speaker 1: I love all my family family members equally. I love 1734 01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:23,719 Speaker 1: all my listeners equally. But Original Saturday Squad. Yes, indeed, 1735 01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:26,840 Speaker 1: because of the C I a connotation to O S. 1736 01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:29,360 Speaker 1: S UM. But you've quickly become one of my top 1737 01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:32,240 Speaker 1: two favorite conservative speakers. This is from John along with 1738 01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:35,880 Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro. Well, it's excellent company to be listed in. 1739 01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:38,960 Speaker 1: When you two were on together, the combined intelligence is 1740 01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:41,559 Speaker 1: almost too much to handle. I really appreciate it. Whenever 1741 01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:43,720 Speaker 1: you have him as a guest, Well, thank you, John. 1742 01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:46,439 Speaker 1: And I would just note that my my view of this, 1743 01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:49,240 Speaker 1: and it's not the view that every host has. Um. 1744 01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:51,640 Speaker 1: I I want the best people I can get on 1745 01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:54,200 Speaker 1: this show all the time as guests. I don't view 1746 01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:57,960 Speaker 1: other smart conservatives as people that I'm trying to hide 1747 01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:00,639 Speaker 1: or not give a platform to. I want the best 1748 01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:02,880 Speaker 1: conservatives joining in my show as often as they can. 1749 01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:07,160 Speaker 1: So that's not the approach some other hosts take, but 1750 01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:10,040 Speaker 1: that's the approach that I take. So whether it's uh, 1751 01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, Ben Shapiro, Guy Benson, uh, you know, you 1752 01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:16,759 Speaker 1: name it, any of the any of the top tier 1753 01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:19,920 Speaker 1: young conservatives out there, I want them on as often 1754 01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:21,479 Speaker 1: as I can get them. The only issue is they're 1755 01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:24,439 Speaker 1: very busy and they've got a lot of stuff going on. Um. 1756 01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:26,679 Speaker 1: But then I'm glad you noticed that. And yeah, Ben's 1757 01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:29,000 Speaker 1: a great guest, and the Daily Wires are a website 1758 01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:30,679 Speaker 1: that I have to say they've done a really good job. 1759 01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:32,800 Speaker 1: And our friend Emily znat He is over there too, 1760 01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:35,400 Speaker 1: so I always wish them all the best. All right, 1761 01:40:35,439 --> 01:40:37,439 Speaker 1: but here we got sor right, John in Texas. You've 1762 01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:39,040 Speaker 1: given me a lot to work off of your email, 1763 01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:43,240 Speaker 1: He writes, quote, if you're looking for historical deep dive material, 1764 01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:47,080 Speaker 1: I'd suggest something relating to the USSR. With your intel 1765 01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:49,639 Speaker 1: background and the increasing threat of socialism, I think many 1766 01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:53,240 Speaker 1: would benefit from a breakdown of the numerous failures of 1767 01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:57,120 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union from someone who knows what he's talking about. Lastly, 1768 01:40:57,280 --> 01:40:59,000 Speaker 1: when are you gonna take the plunge and finally moved 1769 01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:01,559 Speaker 1: to Texas. If you go somewhere like Dallas, you can 1770 01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:04,679 Speaker 1: even have your tall buildings and overpriced Foo Fu coffee. 1771 01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:07,599 Speaker 1: It'll just be like home, but with more freedom, shields high. 1772 01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:10,000 Speaker 1: And then he asked one more thing, p S, could 1773 01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:13,519 Speaker 1: you give a shout out to my army buddy officer 1774 01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:17,679 Speaker 1: Josh W. Of the Dallas p D. I know he'll 1775 01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:19,280 Speaker 1: hear it because he's a guy who told me about 1776 01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:21,840 Speaker 1: your show. Well, yes, of course, offer Josh W. Dallas 1777 01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:25,120 Speaker 1: p D, thank you for keeping us safe and shields hie. 1778 01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:29,840 Speaker 1: All right, Now we get into uh Rick, who writes 1779 01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:33,920 Speaker 1: in book as a former real news viewer and OSS listener. 1780 01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:36,840 Speaker 1: You are my go to guy on talk radio and 1781 01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:39,240 Speaker 1: have been for a long time. It pleases me to 1782 01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:42,720 Speaker 1: no end. The Team Buck International Squad, something that used 1783 01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:45,759 Speaker 1: to be an infrequent but pleasant occasion, is now apparently 1784 01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:49,320 Speaker 1: the norm. As evidenced by the Charles de gall anecdote. 1785 01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:52,200 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised by this, and it's well deserved. I 1786 01:41:52,280 --> 01:41:54,400 Speaker 1: don't get to hear as many podcasts and shows as 1787 01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:56,840 Speaker 1: I used to. I was pleased to learn of the 1788 01:41:56,920 --> 01:42:00,559 Speaker 1: pending deep dive history segments, as I've always completely enjoyed 1789 01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:03,439 Speaker 1: and learned a lot from them, the high watermark for 1790 01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:06,320 Speaker 1: me being The Battle of Lepanto, to which I've listened 1791 01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:10,280 Speaker 1: several times and continue to recommend to fellow history geeks. 1792 01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:13,400 Speaker 1: As Christmas in the New Year approach, I pray blessings 1793 01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:15,680 Speaker 1: upon you and your loved ones for the season and 1794 01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:20,080 Speaker 1: continued success in your second half decade on radio. All 1795 01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:21,800 Speaker 1: the best, my friend, Rick. Well, Rick, that was a 1796 01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:26,920 Speaker 1: very kind email, and you have made my day so 1797 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:30,120 Speaker 1: thank you so much. And one more quick one here 1798 01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:36,400 Speaker 1: from Louise who or Louise Louise? I think um who 1799 01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:41,280 Speaker 1: writes it all caps? Allergies, I recommend zir tech. I 1800 01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:44,080 Speaker 1: tried the desensitizing shots for a year and a half 1801 01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:47,040 Speaker 1: with no success. Zer tech worked within seventy two hours. 1802 01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:49,760 Speaker 1: I have many allergies and zero tech is awesome. Okay, Well, 1803 01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:52,320 Speaker 1: thank you, Louise. I'll see if I can get uh 1804 01:42:52,479 --> 01:42:54,400 Speaker 1: miss Molly to give that a shot. I don't know 1805 01:42:55,520 --> 01:42:58,439 Speaker 1: if she already takes her tech. Sometimes, I mean she's funny. 1806 01:42:58,479 --> 01:43:00,599 Speaker 1: She'll say, you know, I'm fine. I just love dogs. 1807 01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:02,320 Speaker 1: And I'll look at her neck and she'll have hives 1808 01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:04,320 Speaker 1: all over her neck from the dog like fur and 1809 01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:07,680 Speaker 1: licking her and stuff. But she she loves dogs so 1810 01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:09,800 Speaker 1: much that she just doesn't care, or at least she's 1811 01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:13,080 Speaker 1: you know, she she's pretends that there's no problem. You know, 1812 01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:15,240 Speaker 1: she's like a kid who wants to get right back 1813 01:43:15,320 --> 01:43:18,000 Speaker 1: on the bicycle after, you know, after she falls off 1814 01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:20,200 Speaker 1: and is like, my knee isn't bleeding. I don't need 1815 01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:22,400 Speaker 1: a band aid. You know, she just doesn't care. But 1816 01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:26,040 Speaker 1: that's how she is with dogs. Anyway. Uh, we'll get 1817 01:43:26,080 --> 01:43:27,479 Speaker 1: into some of this. I don't have time for the 1818 01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:30,240 Speaker 1: whole This is quite a long email. UM. This from 1819 01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:33,600 Speaker 1: Chris Fuck. Heard you talking about Meet the Parents and 1820 01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:35,719 Speaker 1: you were of the opinion that this is Ben Stiller's 1821 01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:38,760 Speaker 1: finest work. I have been trying to convince others of 1822 01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:41,400 Speaker 1: this man's pure genius and given her similar views on 1823 01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:45,120 Speaker 1: dogs that constant lead town of live music definitely true 1824 01:43:45,439 --> 01:43:48,320 Speaker 1: and mediocrity of Matt Damon. Perhaps you could help spread 1825 01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:51,240 Speaker 1: the word. If you have not recently watched Tropic Thunder, 1826 01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:53,760 Speaker 1: please do so. He should have won Award for Best 1827 01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:57,040 Speaker 1: Director for this film. Let me just stop the quote 1828 01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:58,920 Speaker 1: here for a second and say, Chris, I do like 1829 01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:01,400 Speaker 1: Tropic Thunder. It is a very funny movie and it's 1830 01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:06,679 Speaker 1: certainly up there with the very best. Um. He also writes, PS. 1831 01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:10,120 Speaker 1: Why does no one on conservative radio ever bring up 1832 01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:13,240 Speaker 1: Iron Rand? This was a fascinating lady who lived in 1833 01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:17,160 Speaker 1: absolutely fascinating life. Her understanding of human psychology is second 1834 01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:19,599 Speaker 1: to none, but she has never mentioned it. Seriously bothers 1835 01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:22,920 Speaker 1: me because the arsenal we need to comeback collectivist ethics 1836 01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:25,400 Speaker 1: are basically outlined by her cannon. It's weird. And then 1837 01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:29,400 Speaker 1: he's got another Ps. The punisher was monumentally disappointing. Do 1838 01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:31,519 Speaker 1: we agree with this? Do we agree with this? Uh? 1839 01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:35,439 Speaker 1: No squad Freedom Hut Squad in here says that it's 1840 01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:39,240 Speaker 1: it was okay. Well, Amy's abstaining, But Tyrone says, Amy, 1841 01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:41,760 Speaker 1: we'll we'll get your opinion on this once you've seen it. 1842 01:44:42,040 --> 01:44:44,880 Speaker 1: But Tyrone says it was not bad. But I haven't 1843 01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:47,640 Speaker 1: seen it yet, so I can't weigh in. Thank you 1844 01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:49,960 Speaker 1: for all that on Iron Rand. Let me think on 1845 01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:52,439 Speaker 1: that one a little bit. Let me give that some thought. 1846 01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:55,320 Speaker 1: Why don't more conservatives talk about Iron Rand? In fact, 1847 01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:56,880 Speaker 1: I know a fair amount of conservatives who kind of 1848 01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:59,280 Speaker 1: ridicule line ran but have to put a pin in 1849 01:44:59,320 --> 01:45:01,519 Speaker 1: that because the show was closing out soon, I'll be 1850 01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:06,519 Speaker 1: back with some post Thanksgiving thoughts. Stay right there, okay, team, 1851 01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:09,519 Speaker 1: a little Thanksgiving recap. I gotta share something with you, 1852 01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:14,000 Speaker 1: because all about honesty here in the Freedom Hunt, and 1853 01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm not proud of this, but I'm gonna put it 1854 01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:22,439 Speaker 1: out there anyway. Uh. I didn't execute my Thanksgiving sides 1855 01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:26,760 Speaker 1: to perfection, now I know. I know. I talked a 1856 01:45:26,840 --> 01:45:30,240 Speaker 1: big game here about my scrambled eggs, which are amazing, 1857 01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:34,320 Speaker 1: and I've even been making some strides with the slow cooker. 1858 01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:40,840 Speaker 1: My braised meats have become quite delicious in recent weeks. 1859 01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:45,360 Speaker 1: But I only had you know, you only had one job, Sexton. 1860 01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:50,000 Speaker 1: You only had one job when it came to Thanksgiving, 1861 01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:55,040 Speaker 1: and it was Brussels sprouts. And I didn't completely mess 1862 01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:59,000 Speaker 1: it up. But I made a pretty rookie mistake. I 1863 01:45:59,080 --> 01:46:04,080 Speaker 1: made a somewhat elementary error. That is that I I 1864 01:46:04,160 --> 01:46:06,040 Speaker 1: will here. Let me tell you what happened first. So 1865 01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:08,200 Speaker 1: I love Brussels sprouts and those of you who are 1866 01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:11,720 Speaker 1: anti Brussels sprouts probably because you grew up in an 1867 01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:15,560 Speaker 1: era when brussel sprouts were boiled and often part of 1868 01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:19,360 Speaker 1: TV dinners and other frozen foods as the green side 1869 01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:21,559 Speaker 1: dish that nobody wanted to eat. But when they are 1870 01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:25,720 Speaker 1: charred and properly prepared, I'm telling you, they are fantastic. 1871 01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:28,080 Speaker 1: And if you're somebody who likes to eat paleo and 1872 01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:32,840 Speaker 1: you need your green, cruciferous vegetables, there's only so much 1873 01:46:32,920 --> 01:46:36,680 Speaker 1: asparagus a man can eat before he realizes that it 1874 01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:40,160 Speaker 1: can make some stuff smell funky and there's other stuff 1875 01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:43,000 Speaker 1: out there, or a woman. I'm just saying, you know, 1876 01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:46,760 Speaker 1: speaking in the in the royal sense of the term, 1877 01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:49,599 Speaker 1: not the royal you. I don't know what I'm saying anyway. 1878 01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:53,960 Speaker 1: The point here is that Brussels sprouts can be amazing. 1879 01:46:54,040 --> 01:46:55,720 Speaker 1: I went with it two ways because I had to 1880 01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:59,880 Speaker 1: do two batches and one batch. I used some art 1881 01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:04,360 Speaker 1: is in uh oil olive oil that was infused with 1882 01:47:04,479 --> 01:47:07,320 Speaker 1: truffle because I was going full on frou frou. I mean, 1883 01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:12,519 Speaker 1: I literally bought this from a hipster with ironic facial hair, 1884 01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:18,120 Speaker 1: from a Brooklyn based uh oil olive oil producer. I 1885 01:47:18,120 --> 01:47:20,280 Speaker 1: mean the obviously don't grow. That's where they make that's 1886 01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:22,360 Speaker 1: where they pressed the stuff. I guess they call it 1887 01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:24,240 Speaker 1: a presser. I don't know, but I got it from 1888 01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:28,160 Speaker 1: a hipster in Brooklyn and it was expensive stuff, so 1889 01:47:28,240 --> 01:47:30,320 Speaker 1: I used it and I had a little bit of 1890 01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:36,360 Speaker 1: the shaved parmesan in there, and manifique, mane fique it was. 1891 01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:40,439 Speaker 1: It was excellent. I cannot lie. It was quite tasty. 1892 01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:44,600 Speaker 1: And those brussels came out very, very crispy because I 1893 01:47:44,720 --> 01:47:49,200 Speaker 1: used a pan that one would generally use for meats. 1894 01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:51,759 Speaker 1: Let it, let them drain a little bit of the oil. Anyway, 1895 01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:55,200 Speaker 1: My mistake, though, is in the brussels with the bacon 1896 01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:58,080 Speaker 1: and balsamic. Now, the bacon saved me, which is why 1897 01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:01,080 Speaker 1: you've always got a cook with bacon, because as long 1898 01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:02,880 Speaker 1: as the bacon is cooked and it's in the dish, 1899 01:48:02,960 --> 01:48:04,760 Speaker 1: would be like, you know what, I could eat this. 1900 01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, everybody. If I sliced up 1901 01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:11,040 Speaker 1: some thick, thick cut bacon for you and I put 1902 01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:13,880 Speaker 1: it in the oven and it was mixed in with 1903 01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:21,559 Speaker 1: some uh some thumb tacks, rusty nails, and old apple cores, 1904 01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:23,800 Speaker 1: you'd probably be like, I mean, not the best dish 1905 01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:25,720 Speaker 1: in the world. And my mouth is, you know, a 1906 01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:28,559 Speaker 1: little bit sore for meeting this, But I can taste 1907 01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:32,160 Speaker 1: the bacon, so it's probably okay. So the bacon saved me. 1908 01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:33,880 Speaker 1: What you gotta think of is like the bacon is 1909 01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:37,240 Speaker 1: the fail safe in the dish. But sure enough, I 1910 01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:41,920 Speaker 1: uh over, I used balsamic and I didn't look. You 1911 01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:44,679 Speaker 1: can get a glaze in the store with your balsamic 1912 01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:47,000 Speaker 1: and you put it all over the brussels and and 1913 01:48:47,120 --> 01:48:49,439 Speaker 1: you look like a hero. But they add a little 1914 01:48:49,479 --> 01:48:53,040 Speaker 1: sugar into it, and it's a little bit like cheating. Now, 1915 01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:55,599 Speaker 1: when it comes to cooking, I'm generally in favor of cheating. 1916 01:48:55,680 --> 01:48:58,160 Speaker 1: If you can get something pre sliced, go for it. 1917 01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:01,479 Speaker 1: Although knife skills in the kitchens probably my favorite. My 1918 01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:05,080 Speaker 1: favorite part of cooking, well, actually eating is my favorite 1919 01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,479 Speaker 1: part of cooking, but the knife skills aspect of it 1920 01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:11,000 Speaker 1: I like as well. But I was just I was 1921 01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:13,760 Speaker 1: there and I had I had done my truffle and parmesan, 1922 01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:16,599 Speaker 1: which I've stolen from French fries. Right, people have truffle 1923 01:49:16,640 --> 01:49:19,680 Speaker 1: parmesan French fries and fancy joints. They probably have them 1924 01:49:19,680 --> 01:49:21,960 Speaker 1: all over the place now, not even in in in 1925 01:49:22,200 --> 01:49:25,720 Speaker 1: in hotty pubs and in fancy frou frou places. Oh 1926 01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:28,880 Speaker 1: do you have your truffled parmesan, French fries or freit 1927 01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:31,680 Speaker 1: as we like to call them, to separate ourselves from 1928 01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:36,799 Speaker 1: the hi POLOI uh, But it was in the balsamic 1929 01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:40,200 Speaker 1: that I made the mistake. I got a little impatient. 1930 01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:43,080 Speaker 1: This is my problem with reduction sauces. I know, everybody, 1931 01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:47,479 Speaker 1: it's like the terrorists win. My problem with with reduction 1932 01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:50,160 Speaker 1: sauces is I get impatient and don't let them reduce 1933 01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:52,640 Speaker 1: fast enough. And this wasn't even really a sauce. It 1934 01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:55,080 Speaker 1: was just, you know, I was almost it was almost 1935 01:49:55,080 --> 01:49:57,360 Speaker 1: like I was just cooking down a I was just 1936 01:49:57,439 --> 01:49:59,920 Speaker 1: cooking down balsamic. And I cooked it a little too high, 1937 01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:01,920 Speaker 1: it too fast, and it gave it a little bit 1938 01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:05,040 Speaker 1: of bitterness. And my family was too kind, supportive and 1939 01:50:05,160 --> 01:50:08,280 Speaker 1: loving to go there and and say anything, but I 1940 01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:10,959 Speaker 1: could tell. I could see there were some leftover brussels 1941 01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:13,839 Speaker 1: on the plates. Not the no, no, not the truffle 1942 01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:18,160 Speaker 1: oil and parmesan that was to perfection. But my batch 1943 01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:21,479 Speaker 1: of bacon and balsamic, I mean, the bacon bailed me. Out, 1944 01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:24,680 Speaker 1: But I also feel like I kind of profaned the 1945 01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:30,080 Speaker 1: bacon by pouring some uh burned balsamic oil on it. 1946 01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:33,240 Speaker 1: I was very disappointed myself. Other than that, my Thanksgiving 1947 01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:36,720 Speaker 1: was fantastic. I was with my my, my folks, and 1948 01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:38,799 Speaker 1: then I went made a kind of a late dessert 1949 01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:42,880 Speaker 1: stop with Ms Molly and her whole family, so I 1950 01:50:42,960 --> 01:50:45,519 Speaker 1: got to see it was great. It was like dogs everywhere. 1951 01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:49,080 Speaker 1: I got to see Tallula, my parents French white French bulldog, 1952 01:50:49,160 --> 01:50:52,240 Speaker 1: who is a little love bug. Although my mom would 1953 01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:53,800 Speaker 1: get mad at me for saying this, she's not that little. 1954 01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:56,480 Speaker 1: She's a frenchie that's in the thirty plus pound category, 1955 01:50:57,040 --> 01:51:00,080 Speaker 1: which is a little bit, a little bit big. Not 1956 01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:02,879 Speaker 1: a lie, it's a little big. But also my brother's 1957 01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:06,679 Speaker 1: rescue Pomeranian. I saw a photo of this little palm 1958 01:51:07,040 --> 01:51:09,759 Speaker 1: when they found him, and he looked like a little 1959 01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:13,160 Speaker 1: werewolf palm because he was in living in dumpsters and 1960 01:51:13,240 --> 01:51:15,720 Speaker 1: in the hallway and not the hallway, in the alleyways 1961 01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:19,960 Speaker 1: of of Austin, Texas, and was filthy and had all 1962 01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:23,240 Speaker 1: kinds of you know, parasites, And they got him to 1963 01:51:23,320 --> 01:51:25,120 Speaker 1: a shelter, cleaned him up, and now he is an 1964 01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:29,360 Speaker 1: adorable little fellow named Percy. My brother adopted him. And 1965 01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:33,320 Speaker 1: then I saw the dog that Molly's family adopted years ago. 1966 01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:36,360 Speaker 1: You know, she found that dog and another dog in 1967 01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:40,040 Speaker 1: a cardboard box with a young teenage boy selling them 1968 01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:43,400 Speaker 1: in Harold Square, New York City. And to let you 1969 01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:46,320 Speaker 1: know what kind of lady, Miss Molly is, she used 1970 01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:51,000 Speaker 1: her first paycheck almost in full to buy these two 1971 01:51:51,120 --> 01:51:53,400 Speaker 1: puppies that she saw on the street because she wanted 1972 01:51:53,439 --> 01:51:55,680 Speaker 1: them to have a nice home. So anyway, I got 1973 01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:59,080 Speaker 1: to see Harold, the pitbull boxer mix, and and he 1974 01:51:59,200 --> 01:52:00,920 Speaker 1: really likes me. Now we get along. He knows that 1975 01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm a when it comes to two pups. You know, 1976 01:52:03,680 --> 01:52:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm a great belly scratcher. You know, I don't want 1977 01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:07,400 Speaker 1: to say I've just I've got a good belly scratch 1978 01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:10,120 Speaker 1: with them going on. And he was. It was fun 1979 01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:11,600 Speaker 1: to see him too. So a lot of dogs, a 1980 01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:13,639 Speaker 1: lot of great food. My mother did a phenomenal job. 1981 01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:16,719 Speaker 1: I mean, my mom is so funny. She actually makes 1982 01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:19,200 Speaker 1: this is Mama Sex and my Mom because you know 1983 01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:21,640 Speaker 1: that's the only the only misses in the Sex and 1984 01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:25,400 Speaker 1: family so far. Um, My mom makes the best turkey 1985 01:52:25,880 --> 01:52:28,479 Speaker 1: and every year she gets a little concerned because you know, 1986 01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:30,439 Speaker 1: it's a big endeavor.
