11
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Freedom Hut. Freestyle Friday begins. But we've

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: got a lot of news to talk about today. The

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: breaking news in fact that just happened in the last

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: well just happened within an hour so of me going

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: on air here. Um, another shakeup at the White House.

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Previous Ryan's previous is out and General Kelly, who had

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: been DHS head, he is in fact now the chief

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: of staff for the White House. So that's what that's

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: the some of the big news from today. Of course,

20
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: we've got to talk about health care. UM, I mean

21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna take up a lot of our time today

22
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: and whatever else you've got on your mind. I should

23
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: note eight four four buck eight four four to five.

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: The the White House Palace intrigue stuff is moderately interesting

25
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: to me. I do think it's fair to ask the question,

26
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: what exactly is going on? I don't mean with this

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: White House in terms of what they're trying to do

28
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: across the country. I mean what's going on inside the

29
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: White House? You know, there's it does seem to be

30
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: a little unsettled. Um, And it's been quite a week

31
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: for reporters on this. You had the new White House

32
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci, getting much more attention than I

33
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: think he even anticipated in his first forty eight hours

34
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: or so as White House Comms director. You had the

35
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: resignation of Sean Spicer, resignation in protest at some level.

36
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: Now you've had Ryan's previous pushed out by the way.

37
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: I will note I said yesterday on the show, previous

38
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be. I mean, I don't think this was

39
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: a hard call to bank, but previous was clearly his days.

40
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: His days as the White House Chief of Staff were numbered. Um.

41
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: Now I have to wonder is Bannon next. I think

42
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: that's the question. A lot will be asking I've been

43
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: telling you Sessions. People said, Oh, they they sent Sessions

44
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: down to where's he's in Central America somewhere. Uh, he's

45
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: out of the country. They sent him there. Not I

46
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: think so that they could get ready to get rid

47
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: of him. I think they sent him there to let

48
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: things cool down and then I'll bring him back and

49
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: things will go back well. Not I don't know what

50
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: normal is with this white US. But anyway, all of that,

51
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: when we can talk more about it, all of that

52
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: is secondary to the fact that, uh, the the GOP

53
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: is in the midst of an existential crisis right now today,

54
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: right here, GOP is in an existential crisis. It does

55
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: not have a particularly compelling answer. I don't even know

56
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: if it has an answer to what do you do

57
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: that the Democrats don't do? Why are you better for

58
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: the American people? The Democrat Party. Sure, you tell us

59
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of stuff that you want to

60
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: do that would be better you. You say you share

61
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: conservative principles with us. You say that the Republican Party

62
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: is about constitutionalism and limited government and ethics and morality.

63
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: You say all of those things. But then when push

64
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: comes to shove, when the hour is upon us for

65
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: action to be taken, and for those actions to speak

66
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: much louder than any words could. What do we get? Well,

67
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: we get this. Those were gasps from the moment that

68
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Senator John McCain decided two resurrect Obamacare. Obamacare could have

69
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: been gone, um, but or at least on its way

70
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: to being gone. But now I think we do have

71
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: to accept a reality where it's here. It's not going

72
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: away anytime soon. I don't know what it will take. Um.

73
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: People keep saying, let it collapse, let it collapse. No,

74
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: that's not going to work. That's not the way this

75
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: will play out. There will be cash infusions from the taxpayer.

76
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: Are we really going to say that the federal government

77
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: has created a healthcare system that forces people to buy

78
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: into exchanges and they can't. It's not even possible to

79
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: be a resident of a certain state of several states

80
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: at this point where you can buy such a healthcare policy.

81
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: Know what they will do is they will shovel tax

82
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: They will throw taxpayer cash at the problem. The the hose,

83
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: the spigot of money, taxpayer money will be turned on

84
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: to save this thing. It's not going to collapse in

85
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: a way that brings us closer to free markets. It's

86
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: going to deteriorate slowly, and with that deterioration will come

87
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: increase political pressure to fix it as is. But let

88
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: me get back to what happened before I get into

89
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: where it's going. I know I'm already going down that path. Um,

90
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: you had Senator John McCain, who came back to a

91
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: literal Heroes welcome in d C. Voted with his fellow

92
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: Republicans on the motion to proceed to bring to the

93
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: floor the ability to actually get going on something for healthcare.

94
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: And then we had a couple of days here where

95
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: it was all about skinny repeal. But before I get

96
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: into what ended up happening here the specifics of the event,

97
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: let's remember what Senator John McCain, when he wanted to

98
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: continue to be Senator John McCain, what he said to

99
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: the American people. You know the messages this healthcare bill,

100
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: repeal and replace, repeal and replace, Repeal and replace, repeal

101
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: and replace, repeal and replace, and then if you don't,

102
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna repeal them. We will stop the out of

103
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: control spending in tax increases, and repeal and replace Obamacare,

104
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: Repeal and replace Obamacare, said it time and time again.

105
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: In fact, claimed on campaign posters for re election for

106
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: Senate that he was leading the fight, leading the fight

107
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: of the line, in the vanguard tip of the spear

108
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: to repeal and replace Obamacare. Now, I know that Senator

109
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: McCain has um much more of a much more of

110
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: a political shield than many others in the Senate because

111
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: of his incredibly honorable service to the country. But we're

112
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: talking about health care now, and this has nothing to

113
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: do with this service. It really does. This debate has

114
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this service to the country. This

115
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: is about healthcare. This is about millions of people who

116
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: may not be able to get healthcare. We are going

117
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: to now be sitting in doctors waiting rooms wondering if

118
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to pay for the services

119
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: that they will get, or going to be staying up

120
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: late at night wondering whether they're going to be paying

121
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 1: the medical premiums they have to keep their family ensured

122
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: and covered, or just be laid on the rent and

123
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: hope they don't get evicted, or laid on them mortgage

124
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: and hope they don't get foreclosed on. This affects people.

125
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: This is pain for people in some cases, many cases

126
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: will be literal physical pain and perhaps even worse economic anxiety.

127
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: The wrong decision here has consequences, and you can say

128
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: that you know, well, Buck, you can argue this either way.

129
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: And he did what he thought was right. Now. He

130
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: made a promise, He gave his word. That's what standing

131
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: up and chanting and saying vote for me. I'm leading

132
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: the fight. I'm leading the fight. He lied, He lied.

133
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: He wanted to be the Senator from Arizona still, and

134
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: he lied. Bottom line. I read his tweet today about

135
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: how all the I wanted to repeal, but the replacement

136
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: bill wasn't good enough to the But no, I'm sorry.

137
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: They could have easily repealed this and replaced it in

138
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: a series of different bills. It doesn't matter. He promised

139
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: repeal and replace and it was all just a ruse.

140
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: So let's just come to grips with that. And you've

141
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: got Collins and Murkowski. We all, we all knew that

142
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: they're not really Republicans. Fine, we get that, that's been

143
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: clear for a while. Um, But Senator McCain, I think

144
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: this this turned into a legacy issue for him. It's

145
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: notable that you had, uh, John Roberts save Obamacare at

146
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court and John McCain now save Obamacare in

147
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: the Senate. And I understand that this was skinny repeal,

148
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: which I don't even really think we can call repeal,

149
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: but at least it was something. At least it was

150
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: a version of, um, what was supposed to what was

151
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: supposed to happen. What we've seen here is that the

152
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: Republican senator is useless on healthcare. They're just useless. And

153
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, Ted Cruz I think channeled much of the

154
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: anger today. Um, here's what he said. Senators are going

155
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: to go home the next few weeks. They're gonna go

156
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: home to the states, and they're gonna face their constituents.

157
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: They're gonn have hard questions of people, look them in

158
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: the eyes and say why did you lie to me?

159
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's not just gonna be the

160
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: senators are voted. Now, the senators voted, Yes, they're gonna

161
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: be asked, why did you lie to me? Because the

162
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: voters are not going to distinguish. They're gonna say, you

163
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: guys promised to do this in your faith. Yeah, that

164
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: is correct, That is correct by the way I saw

165
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: some report. I don't know how much credibility you want

166
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: to put it in or not, that McCain voted against this,

167
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: against skinny repeal, so that other senators who were hoping

168
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: to other senators who didn't want it to pass could

169
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: vote for repeal and replace. So he was giving them cover.

170
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: But I would say, but that's that's uh to borrow

171
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: work for the Democrats. That's collusion in a lie. That's

172
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: giving them cover they should not have. He shouldn't, And

173
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: but I also don't. I just have a hard time

174
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: believing that. I don't believe it. I also think that

175
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: it's it's funny to see people try to put this

176
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: on on the at the president's feet. The President said

177
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: he would sign whatever the Senate passed. You have Republicans

178
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: in the House and the Senate. You've got senator Senate

179
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: republicans able to get a majority get a bill passed,

180
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do it. This isn't on the president.

181
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: This is on Congress. And isn't it interesting that many

182
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: of us have been told for quite a few months

183
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: at this point that Donald Trump will betray conservatives, He's

184
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: gonna he's lying to conservatives, he's a con man. He's

185
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna betray them. Well, who really is responsible

186
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: for at least the first major betrayal of conservative principles

187
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: in the Republican Party. It's not Donald Trump. It's Congress

188
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: and its specifically senators, senators who did not do what

189
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: they said they would do. So this is where, this

190
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: is where we are now. I mean, Mitch McConnell is

191
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: just stayed in the obviously saying it's time. It's time

192
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: to move on. He says, this is UH, you know,

193
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: clearly a disappointing moment. From skyrocketing costs UH to plummeting

194
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: choices and collapsing markets. Our constituents have suffered through an

195
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: awful lot under Obamacare. We thought they deserved better. It's

196
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: why I and many of my colleagues did as we

197
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: promised and voted to repeal this failed law. We told

198
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: our constituents we would vote that way, and when the

199
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: moment came, When the moment came, most of us did.

200
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: I think the American people are going to regret that

201
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: we couldn't find a better way forward. Now, Mr President,

202
00:12:54,440 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: it's time to move on. We're going to what you

203
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: really think it's gonna be so much easier to get

204
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: tax reformed on with the Democrats. Taxes allowed Democrats to

205
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: favor constituencies to engage in massive social engineering, to engage

206
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: in wealth redistribution, socialism under the guise of social justice.

207
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: That's what That's what the tax code is. You think

208
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: that's gonna be an easy fight. Come on, Democrats are

209
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: waiting for that one. They are just waiting to be

210
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: able to talk about how any any tax break, because

211
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: we have a system that has higher taxes for higher

212
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: earners is going to benefit those higher earners more. It's

213
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: gonna benefit corporations clearly, if we cut the corporate tax

214
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: rate down to fifteen from thirty or thirty five wherever

215
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: it is now, that's all going to happen if they

216
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: got tax reform. But they're not getting a tax reform.

217
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what we're supposed to

218
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: get excited about for the Republican Party. Look at Democrats.

219
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: They say what you will about them. They know how

220
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: to wield power. They move as a on lith they

221
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: move as a unit. They try to achieve their objectives. Yeah,

222
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: they have their objectives harm the country and they lie,

223
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: cheat and steal to get there. But at least they

224
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: take action, and they take their I said collective action.

225
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: They do it together with Republicans and only yeah, you

226
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: could say it only took a few buck But what

227
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: else are we supposed to do? How are if the

228
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: Republicans are a party and they can't agree on this,

229
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: can they agree on anything that's particularly worthwhile other than

230
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: doing favors for their buddies from the chambers of commerce

231
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: and various special interests, you know, the the donor class

232
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: in d C. Republicans are great at keeping them happy.

233
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: But for you, for me, do they do anything worthwhile?

234
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: They didn't help us out on healthcare. And by the way,

235
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: the healthcare just this is just gonna get worse and worse.

236
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: Single payer now becomes a more compelling option, certainly more

237
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: than it was in the past. Why go through all

238
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: the wrangling over costs and prices and how many different

239
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: how many different regulations the government's going to add or

240
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: pull back or what? Just just let the government pay

241
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: the tab for everything. Right, of course it will be

242
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: very expensive, but we'll make We'll make the next generation

243
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: or the generation after that pay We'll just run up

244
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: the national credit card. Twenty trillion, thirty trillion, let's make

245
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: it fifty trillion. Why not? This is what's going to happen.

246
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: And you know, if this turns into the disaster that

247
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: some of us think it will be, meaning that if

248
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: we do go down the pathway of a single pair,

249
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, we are an economic engine and and a

250
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: there s a a beacon of freedom and liberty for

251
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. It doesn't even just affect us.

252
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: It affects the entire planet. It affects the future of humanity.

253
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: But you know, hey, Chuck Schumer's happy about it. So

254
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: there's that eight four four buck eight four four to

255
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: five we got, I mean, so much more to talk about.

256
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: Just stay with me and let up. Those lines will

257
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: be right back. We should replace and repeal. Appeal and

258
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: replace is to be replaced, repeal the law. To repeal

259
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: and repeal, repeal, repeal it repealed the lots. It's gonna

260
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: be repealed and replaced, repeals and replaced, Healing Obamacare, reform

261
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: and replace repeals it needs to be repealed and replaced,

262
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: and repeal to repeal and replace the repeal lists, Repeal

263
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:20,479
Speaker 1: Obamacare and oppose Obamacare, repealing, repeal, replace, repeal and replace Obamacare.

264
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: You get the idea. Let's I gotta figure if wherever

265
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: president's former President Obama is anywhere in the world, he's

266
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: got to just be laughing and laugh and here's a

267
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: right to, here's a right to. Republicans just just stumbled,

268
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: just stumbled around on this thing. And you know Obama

269
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: could be, you know, out there in a in a

270
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: prius doing donuts on their front law and I mean,

271
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, victory. Their Democrats should be doing a

272
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: victory dance. There's no no way around it. Of course,

273
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer saying when we're not we're not celebrating. We

274
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: are not celebrating. We are relieved. We are relieved not

275
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: for ourselves but for the American people. We'll get more

276
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: into what Schumer wants, by the way, going forward at Schumer. Uh,

277
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 1: but we lines are lit in the freedom huntel and

278
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: it is Friday. So let's take some calls here, Uh

279
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: Bob in Virginia on w p T I Hey Bob, yes,

280
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: sir um. All of this we've seen now that we

281
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: have Republicans dressed in Democratic clothes, this party stuff is

282
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of Bologney. Now. Uh, I don't know what

283
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: to say. I'm a sixty year old man, and I

284
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: might feel for my kids. I really don't know what

285
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: to think anymore. We've lost complete civility. Uh. You know,

286
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm tired of being the harsh one called and singled

287
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: out and bullied. But you know what, Uh, it's just pathetic. McCay.

288
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk about him. Uh. I've

289
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: always had my opinion. I have respect for the you know,

290
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: for his service. I'm a strong support supporter of military.

291
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: But you know, if this wasn't a set up, I

292
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: don't know what a setup was. And I'm very I

293
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: really am. I never thought I could get like this.

294
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: I am really upset. I am not going to be

295
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: in any party anymore. But I don't see any avenue.

296
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just crazy. I don't know what

297
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: to think. I am lost, and that scares the hell

298
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: out of him. I will say, Bob, for those who

299
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: are um and look, man, I really appreciate your sentiments,

300
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: and thank you shield Tay, and thank you for calling

301
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: in for those who are saying and have been all along. Uh,

302
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: Trump needs to shake up the system. His approach is

303
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: is a necessary counterbalance to this. You know, I've certainly

304
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: had my doubts here and there, but you just had

305
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: the most establishment Republican senator in many ways in the

306
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: US Senate. Make sure that Obamacare is around probably forever.

307
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: So the Republican establishment and in its way of doing things.

308
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: I think we all really know now where where they stand.

309
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear. So if we want something else,

310
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: that's something else might seem enact and be quite different.

311
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: He's back with you now, because when it comes to

312
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: the fight for truth, the fun never stops. Five years

313
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: I've served in Senate, there's no issue I have thought

314
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: harder on, devoted more time to than stopping the disaster

315
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: that is Obamacare. And mark my words, I am committed

316
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: to this fight. As long as there is breath in

317
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: my body. I will be fighting for the working men

318
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: and women of this country that are being hurt by Obamacare,

319
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: and I believe it will be repealed. No party can

320
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: remain in power by lying to the America and people,

321
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: and I hope and pray that our party doesn't try

322
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: to do this anything. I agree with Senator Cruz on

323
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: the sentiments, but the Democrats have been empowered plenty of

324
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: times for plenty of time, and they lie all the time.

325
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: So now we just see the Republicans lie to on

326
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: the big stuff. You know, felect a plan. You can

327
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: keep it, like you doctor, you can keep your doctor.

328
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: That wasn't true, but bog got reelected. Lying is effective. Unfortunately,

329
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: in politics, lying really works. And when you're the party

330
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: of the state, when you're the Democrat party, when you

331
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: are offering state is m when that is your philosophy,

332
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: you're governing political philosophy. One of the most important things

333
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: you can do is to lie to people about how

334
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: much you can give them, and also lie to them

335
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: about how scary everything will be if you don't very

336
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: effective tactic. You lie and say that will provide this

337
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: for you and there will be no cost. You lie

338
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: and say that will provide it for you, it will

339
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: be better. In fact, if we didn't provide it for you,

340
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: you probably couldn't get it. You lie and you say

341
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: that if it wasn't for the states stepping in here,

342
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: you'd have nothing. There'd be no way for you to

343
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: get health care. People would be out in the street,

344
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: they'd be sick, they'd be dying. No one cares. The

345
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: American people don't care about each other, the private sector

346
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: and the market. Those are all just myths that conservatives

347
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: tell themselves as they clink their Scotch glasses together and

348
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: the parlor rooms of fancy hotels where they smoke expensive cigars.

349
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all a caricature, right, but it works.

350
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: It works, and what do we have to fight against it?

351
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: Republicans who are h after today, how could you say

352
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: anything other than I wish I could sit down the

353
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: Republican Party and say, it's not that I'm hurt. I'm

354
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: just disappointed in you. That's how I feel about the

355
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: Republican Party. Right about when your parents, if either it's

356
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: ever said that to you is the worst thing ever,

357
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: you know, yelling at you you could handle. But you know,

358
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: it's not that. It's not that I'm at I'm just disappointed.

359
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: And if they really meant it, you're like, ouch, you know, son,

360
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: it's um, I just expected better from you. I'm just disappointed,

361
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, you go, Um, So I'm disappointed. I think

362
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: I think they're I thought skinny repeal. Well no, actually

363
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: I didn't think this was gonna work. I've told you

364
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: how many times this week have I said, I'm trying

365
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: not to be cynical. I'm skeptical, but not cynical. I

366
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: think that's what I said, maybe on Monday or Tuesday.

367
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: But it's just I knew. I knew, and I knew

368
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 1: in part because you've got people in the Senate who

369
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: call themselves Republicans their conservatives when it benefits them, but

370
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: when they get the opportunity to be written about in

371
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: glowing terms about the New York Times, you know, ego vanity.

372
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: These are very powerful, very powerful, um tools for manipulation

373
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: of public figures, well of everybody, but certainly of public figures.

374
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: You know, the New York Times editorial board put together

375
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: this at the very bottom of their editorial on what

376
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: is really the resurrection of Obamacare? I mean, it should

377
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: be on its way out. I know it wasn't gonna

378
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: be a full repeal. I know they already failed on that,

379
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: but at least it would have been in process, and

380
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: it would have shown the Republicans can do something, because

381
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: if they did something then it worked and it was

382
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: making things better, then they'd have the political capital to

383
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: do something else. A phased repeal, full repeal would not

384
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: have been necessarily perfect what they promised. I get that,

385
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: but at least it would have been moving the right

386
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: direction instead. I mean, we just, my friends, we just

387
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: missed the off ramp from socialized medicine and John McCain

388
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: just hit the gas pedal. My friends, we are we

389
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: are heading now, we're speeding towards single payer, and you know,

390
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: we've got nothing really to slow us down or stop

391
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: us at this point. How why Oh it's because Obamacare

392
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: will fail. I know that Trump is saying this. Look

393
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: Trump said last or the Trump said that this should

394
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: have been done. This was last night. They held this

395
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: vote last night that all the information, all the news

396
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: came in, and Trump was like, yeah, they should have

397
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: done something, they should have approved health care last night.

398
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: But you can't have everything. Boy, oh boy, they've been

399
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: working on that one for seven years. Can you believe that?

400
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: The swamp? But we'll get it done. We're going to

401
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: get it done. You know. I said from the beginning,

402
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: let Obamacare implode and then do it. I turned out

403
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: to be right. I admire the President's optimism, but I

404
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: think he's wrong on this. The worst that Obamacare gets,

405
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: the greater the cries will be for more government intervention,

406
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: more money and for the people who are left out

407
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: in the cold. But you know, the latest, by the way,

408
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: is that hundreds of counties might have no Obamacare ensure.

409
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: Hundreds of counties across the country, um at least forty

410
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: counties already are probably gonna have no individual exchange offering

411
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: starting next year. But there are a whole bunch more

412
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: that might have. And by the way, what that's not

413
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: even that's just the tip of the iceberg. I mean,

414
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: there's so many more problems than just whether accounting offers

415
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: a plan or not. The plans are mostly crap. They're

416
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: not good, and people are forced to buy them. And

417
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: if you're forced to buy one but you don't get

418
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: subsidies for it, you are paying a lot in premiums.

419
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: You have to or else you pay a penalty attacks time,

420
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: so you're forced to do it. You're paying a lot

421
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: in premiums. You don't have good doctor access, and you

422
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: have very high deductibles. And by the way, your deductibles

423
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: are so high and your doctor access is low because

424
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: a good chunk of what you are paying is going

425
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: to subsidize other people in the exchange. You're paying for

426
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: other people's healthcare. That that's what is happening, especially the

427
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: moment that we talk about removing um what is insurance

428
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: from the equation, meaning that you're paying based on your

429
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: risk profile. This is all about getting younger, healthier people

430
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: into the exchange to pay for sicker and older people.

431
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: That's what the that's the scheme. That's the brilliant trick,

432
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: the brilliant maneuver here, and that's how all of these

433
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: systems are set up. And they haven't been around that long.

434
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: We're just now seeing the boomer generation getting the full

435
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: benefits that were set up for it a few decades ago,

436
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: and they're not going to be around based on the

437
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: numbers in a few decades. For those who are currently

438
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: carrying the burden, people said, oh, I've been paying into

439
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: these nunnel and programs for decades. Yeah. The average person

440
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: paying into Medicare will take out twice what he or

441
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: she paid in. I'm sorry, but that's not saying for it.

442
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: That's having other people actually pay for a big chunk

443
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: of it. That is a huge subsidy that younger people

444
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: are giving to older people. That's all it is. No, No,

445
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: it's not, it's not politically popular to talk about this

446
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: stuff in that way. But that's how it's that's how

447
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: it's structured. That's what's going on. It is intergenerational theft

448
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: by the political system, but it's popular. And that Obamacare

449
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: is all about getting young people to pay more in

450
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: insurance then they take out in healthcare. Well that's not

451
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: a good deal, is it. But that's how that's how

452
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: they're going to do it. Brian in North Carolina, w PT.

453
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: I what's up, Brian, Hey buck, I hopefully can hear me.

454
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of nowhere. Um, you know, I'm

455
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: kind of getting sick of the filing sat mantra that

456
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: keeps them thrown around and even by yourself. The American

457
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: people did not vote for Congress to what voted them

458
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 1: in so that they would repeal it. A term us

459
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: back to a free market system governments again on a

460
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: power insurance look and what we should buy and what

461
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: should be in it, and how old we need to

462
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: buy it? Anything we don't want that? This isn't You're

463
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: supposed to have choices. You want to go back to

464
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: a free market system? No, Brian, But Brian, by the way,

465
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: I think your points are excellent's it is a little

466
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: tough to hear you, so hopefully we'll have a slightly

467
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: better signal with you in a second here. But the

468
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: market before Obamacare was not a free market either, my friend.

469
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: There are a tremendous amount of regulations preventing you from

470
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: buying the policy you wanted. There's no you cannot buy

471
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: policies out of state. This is the federal government determining,

472
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: via the you know, the regulation of interstate commerce, what

473
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: your healthcare plan will be in, what is acceptable and

474
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: what is not. So that's why, I mean, I understand

475
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: what you're saying repealing in the place. We're not saying

476
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: get rid of Obamacare to give us a better version

477
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: of Obamacare. But what we really want is get rid

478
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: of Obamacare and actually get rid of a lot of

479
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: the other stuff that existed pre Obama Care. Get rid

480
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: of Obamacare and no, you missed the word return, return

481
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: us to a free market system and buy that. I mean,

482
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: exactly what what that state? What that what that means.

483
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,239
Speaker 1: But we haven't been in a free market, Brian. That's

484
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to tell you. We were not in

485
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: a free market and healthcare before Obamacare that's the problem. No,

486
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: that's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying that, Buck,

487
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying we were at one point this country was

488
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: at one point we had employed a free market system

489
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: that is no longer in place. I totally understand that

490
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: with regulations and chrony capitalism. That is our problem, chrony

491
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: capitalism and regulations. We want a return to a free

492
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: market system where I can go out and buy something

493
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: because hey, I want to buy that. It has the

494
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: products that I need in it, and I need that,

495
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go ahead and buy it. It's worth

496
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: it to me. Is my choice to do that? And

497
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: what's in that policy is I want, not what the

498
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: governments should be in the policy. That's one thing. The

499
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: other thing, you know, you said that, John mckeans, is

500
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: uh the problem. I can't hear you. I want to

501
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: hear you, Brian, what do you say, Um, I'm for

502
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm Brian, I'm so we we can't. We can't.

503
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: If he gets a better connection, he wants to call

504
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: back and finish, we can take him later. But he's

505
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: he is in the middle of the field somewhere or something,

506
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: because like, we can't. He's cracking is connection is no good.

507
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: I think he's the sathing with John McKain, which reminds me, actually,

508
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: I didn't even finish what I was saying with John McCain.

509
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: I will do that. On the other side of the break,

510
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: there's New York Times editorial that mentions McCain, Um, I

511
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: know a lot of you're gonna good have thoughts on this.

512
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: I would love to take a lot of calls today,

513
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: So eight four four nine buck eight four four to five.

514
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: Maybe next hour we can do some action movie quotes

515
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: if you want to just have some fun. But I

516
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: want to know if you think about the healthcare situation here,

517
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: More to the point, I want to know if you

518
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: think about the Republican Party, what what now we're gonna

519
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna do, what we're gonna do? What exactly what's

520
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: gonna get done? Maybe great things, but right now it's

521
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: not looking so good. Quick break, we'll be right back.

522
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: McCain's defection from his fellow Republicans on this issue of

523
00:30:54,080 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: healthcare that kept Obamacare well, I think has put it on,

524
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: taking it off life support. And now Obamacare is for

525
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: the foreseable gonna be the way things are. This New

526
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: York Times editorial that I mentioned before. Ended this from

527
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: the editorial board of the New York Times, so you know,

528
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: from the layer of Satan and Satan himself. Here's what

529
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: it says. After this failure, Republicans must figure out whose

530
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: example they will follow. They can adopt Mr Trump's call

531
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: for yet another scorched earth campaign, or they can listen

532
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: to the likes of John McCain about the benefits of

533
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: bipartisanship and cooperation. Well, that's nice for that's nice for

534
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: Senator McCain, isn't it. But for the people who can

535
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: afford their premiums, can't get healthcare policies. And for all

536
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: of us, by the way, who have way too much

537
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: government intrusion and regulation of our health care, who suffer

538
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: because of bureaucrats who think they know better when it

539
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: comes to our health care plans, who stifle the market,

540
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: who prevent innovation. All of this because of people who

541
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: make decisions for you and me that if we refuse

542
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: to abide by well, eventually now either or take away

543
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: all of our stuff or lock us up. This is

544
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: all back with at some level. Government is threat of force, right,

545
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: So they make these decisions for us and if we

546
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: don't like them, too bad, too bad. Oh okay, we've

547
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: got the caller, Brian, who's on a better connection up. Brian,

548
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: I want to let you finish what you were saying.

549
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to cut you off, but the connection

550
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: was bad. What were you saying saying? Did you mentioned Kin?

551
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: You mentioned him as a Republican. That's another note. He

552
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: is in no way a Republican. He is a Democrat.

553
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: There's no way that he is a Republican, and we

554
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: need that's what we need to do. I mean you

555
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: asked earlier, what are we going to do? I mean

556
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: right now, Republicans basically know that the Republican voters who

557
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: are out there in the next election would never vote

558
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: for a Democrats and then they go, well, who else

559
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: I had to vote for? Well, I guess I'll vote

560
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: for the same Republican that's been on the ballot in

561
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: the last twenty years. They know that that's what we

562
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: need to do, is primary them and get them out.

563
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: Even the Freedom Caucus people are disappointing. I mean, Jim

564
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: Jordan was all over the airways yesterday saying, excuse me, saying, basically, hey,

565
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: you know Donald Trump could have taken care of this

566
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: with a stroke of a pen. He could have gotten

567
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: rid of a lot of these things with an executive order,

568
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: and we wouldn't be having this discussion. No, no, no,

569
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm a sorry, Jim Jordans of the Freedom Caucus, the

570
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: supposed uh conservative branch of the Republican Party. An executive

571
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: order can be overturned in an instant when the next

572
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: president comes in. You're supposed to do your job as

573
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: senators and right legislation. Look, I totally agree. I just

574
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: think that you know, we've been through you know, we

575
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: had the Tea Party, We've had that, We've had all

576
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: these young conservatives or new conservatives I should say, coming

577
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: into elected office in the Congress. We have all this,

578
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: and yet here we are. I mean, it's just discouraged.

579
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: We have less than twenty in Congress who are true conservatives.

580
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: And the Freedom Party has done what lately. I mean

581
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: assume that the Tea Party, they haven't done anything. Not

582
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: that I'm blaming them, but I mean the Tea Party

583
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: needs to get their act together and get back in business.

584
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: I mean, the Tea Party gave us back control of

585
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: the Congress. I mean, you know, and now we've but

586
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: the problem is the Congress doesn't. They gave control the

587
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: Congress that and thank you for calling back, Brian. They

588
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: gave us control of the Congress, but the Republican party

589
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: in control doesn't get it done. So I mean, it's

590
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: not the Tea party fault. Otherwise we have Nancy Pelosi

591
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: running the show and Chuck Schumer. Ah. Look, it's it's

592
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: very it is very frustrating, um. But I also think

593
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: we need to be very honest about what happened here.

594
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: People like people like free stuff, and there are some

595
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: key states here where Medicaid expansion is popular and there

596
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: are enough people that want that free stuff that would

597
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: vote those politicians. And by the way, it's not just

598
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: the Medicaid expansion is only it's not just people that

599
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: are are in need who are getting healthcare from the state.

600
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: It's also the hospital systems that benefit from this now,

601
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: right because they can Now you have people that are

602
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: just able to go in there with their Medicaid card

603
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: and get service, whether it's good or not. By the way,

604
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, right because where else are they going

605
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: to go? The hospital systems and states like Ohio that's

606
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: you know, people like rob like a Senator Portman. Oh yeah,

607
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: Medicaid expansions, big business everybody there. Don't don't ever forget

608
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: the corporatest interests in the welfare state because they're very

609
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: real too. And in Virginia. On the I Heart app,

610
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: you've got thoughts on this. What's up? Good evening, Mr Sexton.

611
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: You're apparently suffering from the same quandary. I am I

612
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: love hate relationship with the president. You said you approved

613
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: and then he's wrong. Well, it's not love, heyt I

614
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: just I call him like I see him. Sometimes it's

615
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: a ball, sometimes it's a strike. Okay, So I hate

616
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: some comments and I wish advisors would you know, take

617
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: away his fingers, his tongue. And then I love him

618
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: because my stock market propolio has increased twenty grand since

619
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: he took office. Hmm, well yeah, I mean the stock

620
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: market is doing really well. So that's there was a

621
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: democrat in office. By the way, you'll be hearing all

622
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: the time about how well the stock markets doing, how

623
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: well the economy is doing. All those things right now

624
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: are very strong. Um. And we just saw and and

625
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: thank you for hold of thank you for calling in.

626
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: We we just saw that second quarter economic growth was

627
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: double first quarter growth. That's the kind of thing I

628
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: just came out today. That's the kind of thing that

629
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: would be a big headline under Democrat administration. You know.

630
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: It's a Republican though, and can't be that Trump is

631
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: encouraging commercial activity and encouraging the private sector to do

632
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: what it does. Let the business of the American people

633
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: be business? Or could it? Maybe that is part of

634
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: all this. Look I I can't begin to explain or

635
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: or defend some of what's been going on with the

636
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: Cedior White House people this past week. I mean, interesting

637
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: to talk about, but in terms of making sense of it,

638
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I guess I do. I do

639
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: begin to explain because I do it on a radio show.

640
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying I don't have all the answers

641
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: on that. But just because I don't like the the

642
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: style sometimes from his White House, I'm still looking at

643
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: the substance on the executive side, regulations, the way the

644
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: regulatory agencies have been reined in the way that businesses

645
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: are being encouraged and they know that they're gonna have

646
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: a clearer path they in the past. That's all very strong.

647
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: That's all on the Trump side. Congress, I'm looking at

648
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: today and I'm just saying, Republicans of Congress, you know

649
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: what have you done for me lately? Lately? Republicans not much.

650
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: He's holding the line for America, buck Sexton his back.

651
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: I asked the question the last hour, what can we

652
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: look to the Republican Party for? I'm not gonna be

653
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: labor the frustration I feel not just with well with

654
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: John McCain, specifically in the vote that he cast in

655
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: order to keep Obamacare complete. It was not going to

656
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: be repealed completely. But now the law is in fact complete.

657
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: There's nothing that changes with it. But what can we

658
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 1: count on the Republican Party for or the Republican Congress.

659
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: And here's here's an answer, that they will pass sanctions

660
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: on Russia. Okay. In just the last three years under

661
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin, Russia has invaded Ukraine and an ex Crimia,

662
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: threatened NATO allies, and intervened militarily and Syria, leaving a

663
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: trail of death, destruction and broken promises in his ways.

664
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: And of course, last year Russia attacked the foundations of

665
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: American democracy with a cyber and information campaign to interfere

666
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: in America's two thousand and sixteen election. I am proud.

667
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: I am proud of the two individuals who just spoke,

668
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: so Or from Maryland and the Center from Tennessee. Both

669
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: of them have worked in a bipartisan fashion and gutting

670
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: legislation to this floor. Although it's long overdue, it is here,

671
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: and I believe we will see an overwhelming vote. And

672
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: I thank them for their bipartisanship. The last eight months,

673
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: what prices Russia paid for attacking American democracy very little.

674
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: This legislation, legislation would begin to change him. The legislation

675
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: would impose mandatory sanctions or transactions with the Russian defense

676
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 1: or intelligence sectors, including okay, a Russian defense grade. On Thursday,

677
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: the Senate did pass something, this legislation that puts new

678
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: sanctions on Russia and also gives Congress powers to block

679
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,439
Speaker 1: the President Donald Trump from easing sanctions against Moscow. Pass

680
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: the Senate to two past the House four hundred nineteen

681
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: to three on Tuesday. Okay, do no Russia sanctions. I'm

682
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: not going to disagree with Russia sanctions because I think

683
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: that a lot of Russian foreign policy, a lot of

684
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: Russian foreign policy is uh well, against our interests, but

685
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: against our allies interests mostly or and and and then

686
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: I think that Russia acts in away on the world

687
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: stage that is unhelpful to us and is also um

688
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: in many cases, destabilizing. But Okay, this isn't going to

689
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: affect you one way or the other. This is easy.

690
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: It's easy for the Congress to pass votes sanctioning some

691
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: Russian entities. That's not hard. They can spend that one

692
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: way or the other if they have to when it

693
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: comes time for the election, and no one's really going

694
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: to care either. Being increasingly belligerent with Russia, unfortunately, is

695
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: easy for our Republican party that is always interested in

696
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: the the use of US power around the world, even

697
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: if it means antagonizing countries that we might be better

698
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: served to look for some common ground with sometimes and

699
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: a Democrat party that is just hell bent on finding

700
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: some way to get us into deeper and deeper animosity

701
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: and perhaps even future conflict with Russia, because what matters

702
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: to them more than anything else is that Hillary Clinton

703
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: did not win the election. So you have the Republican

704
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: military industrial foreign policy complex coinciding with the Democrats sore

705
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: loser syndrome on Hillary to give us a very belligerent

706
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: foreign policy visa via Russia, which is not going to

707
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 1: get us anywhere. Let's just look at it this way.

708
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: Obama put sanctions on Russia. Did was did that in

709
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: any way change Russian behavior? You're In fact, all Russia

710
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: did was get further and deeper into Syria and backing

711
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: the Assad regime. But you see this now that the

712
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: Republicans can be counted on to take brave moral stands

713
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: on foreign policy. Republicans in Congress, you know, they're not

714
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: the ones out there in the field, right, They're not

715
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: the ones that have to bear the consequences of extended deployments,

716
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: and they're not the ones that have to deal with

717
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: the risk to life and limb from the decisions to

718
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: militarily intervene or involve ourselves in these places. And Democrats

719
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: with when it comes to Russia, I mean, they just can't.

720
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: They can't find enough ways to keep it for them,

721
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: It's just about keeping it alive in the new cycle.

722
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: But without getting into much more of the foreign policy

723
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: wisdom or lack thereof, of antagonizing Russia further than we

724
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: already do, which I mean that's the keeping mind. We

725
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: already have sanctions against Russia. We already refer to Putin

726
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 1: as the thug. We we talk about russia interference the

727
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: elections NonStop in the media. Does it make your does

728
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 1: it do anything to make your life any better? Here's

729
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 1: here's another way to look at this. And and someone

730
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: needs to start saying this to to the Republicans. I

731
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: love to just oh, look at us. We're holding Russia

732
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: accountal for its bad behavior. Okay, but that's really minimal

733
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: for the rest of us in terms of benefit. Do

734
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: we do we care all that much? Uh? Is it

735
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,959
Speaker 1: going to make your life any easier or any better?

736
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 1: Are Americans any freer? Are Americans any more prosperous? If

737
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin is what less uh less aggressive in Ukraine?

738
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's already sees the crimea and we're not

739
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: about He's not gonna give it back. That's not gonna happen.

740
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: Ukraine is much more important to Russia than our sense

741
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: of the international community's obligation to Ukraine to respect its

742
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: territorial integrity. So that's that's just never gonna happen. I mean,

743
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: I understand that we're we're punishing him for aggressive behavior.

744
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: But that's what the Senate can do, That's what the

745
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: Congress can do. This is what we pay them for.

746
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: This is why we give them all this power. This

747
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: is why they have the power of the persons, why

748
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: they can write laws so that they can make sure

749
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: that we do things that annoy Russia economically, that hurt

750
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: the Russian economy, which also, of course, you've got to

751
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: imagine this from the perspective of the of the Russian people.

752
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: Why now they have to suffer? Now they have to

753
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: deal with this now. I know that the sanctions are

754
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: are targeted, but the Russian economy has been in rough

755
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: shape for a while now. So I just look at

756
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: this and I think, as as we go off into

757
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: the weekend, we're do the Republicans really think we're gonna

758
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: clop for them? If all the things that, you know,

759
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: if Russia all of a sudden, if Putin stopped abusing

760
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: and murdering journalists or having people do that for for him,

761
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not doing himself. But you know what

762
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: I mean, if if Putin uh was less of an

763
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: autocrat and get adn't pulled all of his interests out

764
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: of Eastern Ukraine, and there were no more people that

765
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: were engaged in insurgent like activity or insurgency in Eastern Ukraine.

766
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: If if they if they abandon the Assad regime tomorrow,

767
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: would you really care all that much? I think it's

768
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: a fair question to ask what would it matter to you?

769
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: Would have matter to your life? Would it matter to

770
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: the American people? So Republicans are are great on this right,

771
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: And you'll notice the Democrats all went along with them,

772
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: by the way, that didn't seem to bother the Republicans

773
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: that you know a lot of Democrats that usually would say,

774
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we shouldn't you know, the same Democrats

775
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: who will just make excuses for Iran all day all

776
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: the time. We gotta be you gotta reach out to

777
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: the more and more die Democrats want more dialogue with

778
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: every jerk and every uh evil doer running a country

779
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: on the planet except for Russia, right, I mean, never

780
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 1: mind the fact that if we're gonna talk about human

781
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: rights and oppression and sutalitarianism, China is a little bit

782
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: of an issue too, folks, and and China could do

783
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: a lot more about North Korea, which is looking increasingly

784
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: like the most likely, uh cause us belli for a

785
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: major military exchange. I mean, god forbid something involving nukes

786
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 1: even in the future. But North North Korea is getting

787
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: scarier all the time, and you know, still firing off missile,

788
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: still doing all this, and China plays a huge role

789
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: in that, as we know. But it's all about Russia

790
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 1: all the time. We're we're going to be sanctioning Russia,

791
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: We're going to continue to try to isolate Russia. You

792
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: know this is gonna end with what I mean, That's

793
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: what I would want to ask the Republicans and comic

794
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: is gonna end with what a change in Russian behavior? Unlikely?

795
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: And even if that be a change of behavior happened,

796
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: would you care about it? What I care about every

797
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: think the answer is almost certainly not really on what

798
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: matters to all of us. They can't get anything, they

799
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: can't do anything worthwhile, they can't write laws that make

800
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: us freer. They can't write laws that or let me

801
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: take that, let me take this from a different perspective.

802
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: GOP Congress, Congress in general, across the board, BIPARTI is

803
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: a bipartisan criticism, but I expect more. I expect something

804
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: from Republicans, I mean, Democrats just make it worse. I

805
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: expect Republicans sometimes to do the right thing. I would

806
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 1: hope at least they say things that make me think

807
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: it's possible they are capable of doing the right thing.

808
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: But where how on what? Maybe they could just make

809
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,479
Speaker 1: the government less intrusive, less damaging, less destructive. That would

810
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 1: be a start, right, that would be progress, real progress.

811
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: But now they can't even do that. So where what

812
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: are we left with? What do we have at the

813
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: end of all of this? We'll see, I mean, you know,

814
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: Trump is saying that this is that it will collapse.

815
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. But there's no real leadership on

816
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: healthcare right now, and it's just gonna get worse. And

817
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,439
Speaker 1: they want to clap for themselves. A lot of self

818
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: congratulation under the Congress on what's going on here with

819
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: Russia sanctions, and also in the commentary class too and

820
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: in media, Oh yeah, we're really standing up to Russia.

821
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: What I mean, Putin's worth No one even knows how much.

822
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: But Putin is a vastly wealthy and powerful individual, and

823
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: he really cares about some Russian sanctions that are targeted

824
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: against some some agencies or whatever. I mean, this is

825
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: gonna do what exactly, But the history of sanctions as

826
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 1: a tool of affecting policy is is very bleak. I

827
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: should note by the way we're really going to talk

828
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: about this. Did the did sanctions uh destroy the Irani

829
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: nuclear program? Nope? Did sanctions and Saddam Hussein Saddam Hussein regime? Nope?

830
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm just going down the line. And but sanctions against Russia,

831
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: that's going to stop them from pursuing Ukraine is a

832
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: core interest to the Russian state. The future of Ukraine,

833
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: they believe is a core interest. It is essential to them.

834
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: Is it essential to you? No? Not essential to me?

835
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: And sure I feel I feel badly that they are

836
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: the recipients of Moscow's meddling. But there are plenty of

837
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: places around the world I could point to where there

838
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: are lots of problems that are unfair or people are

839
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: doing bad things. But it's not my problem, it's not

840
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: your problem. But we do seem to have a government

841
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: that wants to make all things Russia our problem, and

842
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: that's dangerous. And at least we have a Congress that

843
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: wants to do that. That's that's dangerous. A lot of

844
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 1: moral grandstanding on Russia, a lot more silence on China,

845
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: And when you start to line them up next to

846
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: each other, you think, really, on one of these is

847
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: is the existential threat to us that we have to

848
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: be constantly on guard against undermining our democracy and all this.

849
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 1: But you know, China, you want to talk about cyber

850
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: and you want to talk about cyber capability as well

851
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: as uh, what would be construed in an in another

852
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: context and another time as continuous violations of of US sovereignty.

853
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean, do we do we really think that all

854
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: the stuff that's been going on in the in the

855
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: world of cyber with China and we we you notice

856
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: we don't hear about that, do we? And we only

857
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: hear about Russia. Republicans are are are because they're just having,

858
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: like I said, the Republican military industrial, foreign policy complexes

859
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: are you know, the hawkish Republican Party. So they're they're

860
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: they're going to run in that direction. And Democrats are like, yeah, Russia,

861
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: public global enemy number one is Russia, and so whatever

862
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: keeps that narrative alive because that's why Hillary lost. Of

863
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: course they're all for that. Meanwhile, what what are we

864
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: left with they can't get anything done on health care,

865
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 1: and they're just annoying. What is a a large nuclear

866
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: power that I we could find ways to be a

867
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: little more constructive with And I look, I think Trump

868
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: is trying to do that, but whatever he tries, he

869
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: gets slapped with the whole Russian collusion nonsense from the media.

870
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 1: You know, they're being irresponsible and it's actually reckless the

871
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: way that the media is currently portraying the US Russia

872
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 1: relations and what the Russian state and Russian government are doing.

873
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: Because keep in mind that all the bad stuff they

874
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: complain about now Russia was doing when Obama was in office,

875
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: but that was when Obama was looking over at Medvedev

876
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,919
Speaker 1: and saying, you know, after the election, I'll have more flexibility.

877
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: So this whole moral grandstanding thing about all Russia is

878
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,720
Speaker 1: so awful, so terrible. It's purely a function of Hillary

879
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: losing the election from the Democrats at least and from Republicans.

880
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: I've got to say Republicans. You know, anytime they can

881
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: flex a little American muscle in the global stage, they're like, yeah,

882
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: let's go for it. At least lately that seems to

883
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: be the case. And Donald Trump is the only one

884
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, maybe we should talk to Russian and

885
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: find some common ground with them. Oh, he's you know,

886
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: he's he's an agent of the Kremlin. It's just crazy.

887
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: What do you think about it? But yeah, John McCain

888
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: so proud of his fellow senators for the sanctions. Okay,

889
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: who wants to place bets that those sanctions have zero

890
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 1: discernible effect whatsoever on Russian policy. I wish there was

891
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: a place. I wish there was a place in Vegas

892
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: where I could put money down on that, because I

893
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 1: promise you I would win. It's gonna do nothing. But yeah,

894
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: let's talk. Let's let's get all excited about our senators

895
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: who can do meaningless. Meaningless gesture is a lot of

896
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: chess dumping on Russia. Meanwhile, our healthcare is just getting

897
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: crappier and more expensive all the time. Alright, alright, white

898
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: House Shenanigans. People talk about that for a bit. And

899
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: it is action movie quote Friday. Can we can we

900

00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: So the So the White House is an interesting place

905
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: these days. I assume it's always a pretty interesting place. Um.

Speaker 1: of stuff. Um. He also said, I'm always going to

915
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: be a Trump, a Trump fan. Uh. Look, I think

916
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: that a lot of the heat that he gets, a

917
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: lot of the trouble that previous has had, and with

918
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: the perception in the press or not in the press,

919
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: I should say, with the base with conservatives is that

920
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 1: he's an establishment guy, and Trump is a Trump's whole

921
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: rise was supposed to be honest, ablished, been and so

922
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: previous is presence in the White House as chief of

923
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: staff made it seem like you had somebody who was

924
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: ultra establishment a very senior role. So that was that

925
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: was always a marriage with some difficulties, so to speak.

926
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: But now he is stepping aside, and he's got General

927
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: Kelly taken over his chief of staff. Now generals are

928
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: I was never in the military, so I'm just speaking

929
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: about what I could know from the outside. But I've

930
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, I worked at the CIA, and I know

931
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: what it's like to be in a very large bureaucracy,

932
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: and I understand what effective management and leadership looks like

933
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: in that bureaucracy, and General Kelly will understand the management

934
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: and leadership parts of his chief of staff role. I

935
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: don't know what his media relations and messaging skills are like. Really,

936
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: he seems like a great, very honorable, patriotic American, So

937
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 1: that's all. Really, that's an essential and very positive start.

938
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: But is this the job for him? I don't know, um,

939
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: but Ryan's is coming off like a gentleman here, I

940
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: will say that, and of course that's I know some

941
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: people who know him. I will say this. I have

942
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,919
Speaker 1: some friends in the media business who know Ryan's preeb

943
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: as well, and they've always spoken very highly of him,

944
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, off off the record with me, I've always

945
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: said he's a really good dude. So and just like

946
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: that too. He's a good dude. Um. So he's out.

947
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: Richard in New Jersey on w I l M. What

948
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on everything going on? I'm sorry about

949
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: the transmission, Thank you for taking my call. I just

950
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: wanted to say that John Kin has an outstanding war record,

951
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: but he's a very petulant man. Donald. She's getting back

952
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: at Donald Trump, was saying that he's not like a

953
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: war hero and Donald Trump and John McCain is a

954
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: very petulant man. Also, John McCain chose his petulants by

955
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 1: blasting talk radio. You know, I held them all and

956
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't have a recorder in

957
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 1: my head. But John McKinnon is a very petulant. Yeah.

958
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for the if it wasn't for the

959
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 1: loud mouth it's on on conservative talk radio, whom I

960
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: don't have to you know the quote loud mouths, I

961
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: don't have to name them here. And if it wasn't

962
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 1: for Fox News, the Democrat party would be it would

963
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: be a one party state. We're living in my friends,

964
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry, what do you say, Richard, You're breaking

965
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: up my friends? Sorry, I need people with with solid

966
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: connections here because nothing. We're frustrating for a host and

967
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: for listeners and not be able to hear you. Thanks

968
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: for calling in, Richard. But if he gets if he

969
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: gets a better connection, we'll we'll let him back on

970
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: the finish his statement there. But yeah, I did not

971
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: like McCain's comment about the loud mouths on the loud

972
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: bouts what I mean, he doesn't know who I am.

973
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: But we're right, those of us who were saying that

974
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: Obamacare is a disaster and they promised to repeal it,

975
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: We're actually right. So loud mouth or quiet mouth or

976
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: whatever we are, we were right, just saying, uh, talking

977
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: a little bit more about the White House intrigue and

978
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: a few stay with me. Felix and Pennsylvania on w A. E.

979
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: B wants to get in on this action. What's up, Felix? Hey,

980
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: my inst or a book. You know when you do

981
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 1: your deutschouch blacker, you sound just like my cousin Andreas,

982
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: so it must be very true to life impersonation. Then

983
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: it really is also your Hillary. Yesterday you actually had

984
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: me spitting up coffee in the kebin my truck. I

985
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: was laughing so hard all right, thank you very much, sir.

986
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: Like I said, it distills the essence of Hillary. You know,

987
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: whether it's sonically totally accurate is irrelevant, because you understand

988
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: new Hillary has when you hear the impersonation. If you

989
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: did that audio book, I would have to waste my

990
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: money on it because it's just too good. Maybe I

991
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: should do Maybe I should do, uh what really happened?

992
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: Like my own little version of the audio book. Yeah,

993
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: that that would be a great idea. Actually, kind of

994
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: like that. I might mark that one down. That actually

995
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: sounds good. Here you feel like, what do you got

996
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: for me? Okay? Alright? Also you inspired me yesterday I

997
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: figured out, you know, maybe we can get the Canadians

998
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: to pay for our healthcare. You were talking about Canadians

999
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: that come over the border to take advantage of our

1000
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: health care. So wealth, wealthy Canadians do. Yeah, yes, hit

1001
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,439
Speaker 1: them with a big search charge and we can fund

1002
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: our healthcare system here. It's not going to be nearly enough,

1003
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: but it's a it's an idea. It's an idea of Felix.

1004
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: We could say that here's the action movie quotes. You know,

1005
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: that's just the way it always seems to go. As

1006
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: soon as I get to like in someone, they and

1007
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: around what's longer? Character number two? Well, I noticed that

1008
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: when you get to dislike in someone, then around what's longer? Either?

1009
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that like a is it a dirty

1010
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: Harry or Clint Eastwood movie? Because that's usually my weak spot.

1011
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: It is Clint Eastwood. See I knew it was Clint Eastwood, alright,

1012
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: hit that was Josie Wales. People say, that's a good one.

1013
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:48,439
Speaker 1: Is that? What? What? What is that? What is the best?

1014
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: If I have to start catching up on my Clint

1015
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: Eastwood because you guys always get me on the word

1016
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: is out I don't know other than like Grand Torino

1017
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: and uh Unforgiven, and you know there's a few that

1018
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: I know pretty well. Grant Sherina is probably my favorite

1019
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: Eastwood movie actually, But anyway, Outlaw Josie Wales has a

1020
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: large body count. You know, it's based at the end

1021
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: of the Civil War. He's a Confederate guerrilla. And when

1022
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: it first came out, me and my brother sat there

1023
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: and I watched them. Know how many times I started

1024
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: timing how long it was before he killed somebody, and

1025
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: was usually like within about five minutes. And if it

1026
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: wound me longer. The body count was a bit larger.

1027
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: M hmm, I missed. I don't know if I missed

1028
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: what you said that what was a bit larger the

1029
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: body count? Oh? But what's the best clinics Wood movie

1030
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: for me to go see this weekend? If I would,

1031
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: if I would watching one on Netflix or download one

1032
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: or whatever? What should I see? Um? The Westerns of

1033
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: the Westerns? I see the other ones? The Unforgiven was

1034
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: very good. Yeah, that's when the one the Oscar Right,

1035
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: all right, maybe I'll check that one out pail Rider

1036
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: or maybe the Outlaw Josie Wales all right? Cool shieldside

1037
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: Felix meant that you for calling in. Good to hear

1038
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: from you. Always have a great weekend. Ed in Ohio,

1039
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: w h l oh, what's up? Ed Ah? Love of much? Sir,

1040
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: was just listen to your comment about President Obama when

1041
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 1: he told Mends he thought it was off Mike and

1042
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: he was on Mike and he said, tell Vladimir Putin

1043
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: not to worry about the missile shield between Poland and Czechoslovakia.

1044
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: I'll have more flexibility after the elections. And I was

1045
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: just wondering, sir, do you think he subconsciously told him, um, putent,

1046
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: it's okay to coo ahead and um and they hate

1047
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: the crime. Beal well, I certainly couldn't pretend to be

1048
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: able to understand the subconscious of either Obama or Medvedev,

1049
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: but I can say that I think the Russian state

1050
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: was pretty sure that under the Obama administration they could push,

1051
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: they could expand they could test the limits and go

1052
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: beyond them without much in the way of pushback her consequences.

1053
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: And you know, it did send quite a message early

1054
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,959
Speaker 1: on that Obama. You mentioned the missile shield. Obama didn't

1055
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: want that because it was going to annoy the Russians.

1056
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: And remember Hillary had a big reset button. I mean,

1057
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, there's so much rewriting of history going on here.

1058
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Ed the Democrats when Obama came in. We're all about

1059
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, new beginnings and new starts and all that

1060
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: with the with with countries around the world that oppose

1061
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: us and that make our lives harder, and that or

1062
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: not make our lives harder, but you know, make make

1063
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: problems for us around the world. Uh. And the Russian

1064
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: reset button, the pivot to Asia, all this stuff, but

1065
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: with Russia in particular, you know, Hillary was all about

1066
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: trying to get warmer relations with Russia. Look, I'm not

1067
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: gonna lie. George W. Bush too said he looked into

1068
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Putin's hard but it was a post nine eleven era

1069
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: and the Russians that the Russians have been fighting the

1070
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: jihadas for a long time too. So we do have

1071
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: a we do have a common enemy with Russia in

1072
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: that Russia is if you take the uh the point

1073
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: of view of clash of civilizations and and also if

1074
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: you agree with the thesis in it, Russia represents Orthodox civilization,

1075
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: which is a which is a close cousin to what

1076
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: we think of as Western and American led civilization. And

1077
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: there there is common ground there, to be sure. And

1078
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 1: I think that the Russians, you know, the Russian people

1079
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: should always be separated out from the Russian regime as

1080
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, we got we got no beef with the

1081
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: Russian people. Yeah, I've got a problem with Russians. Yeah right. So, um,

1082
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, look Obama, Obama showed a lot of weakness

1083
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:37,439
Speaker 1: all over the world and we suffered the consequences for years.

1084
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: And you know, so, but whether or not there was

1085
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: a go head for crimea, I mean I think that's

1086
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: probably going that's a little specific and going a little far.

1087
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: But they did grab Crimea when Obama was in office,

1088
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: and they did go into eastern Ukraine, and they did

1089
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: go into Syria, and you know, look at all that

1090
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 1: stuff after he said I'll have more flexibility after the election. Yeah,

1091
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: he had. He had plenty of flexibility. I think the

1092
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 1: Russians took advantage of it. So thank you for calling

1104
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: I just I got an actual movie quote for you

1105
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 1: real quick. Okay, all right, Well there's a scene and

1106
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: the cops are talking together and one of the cops says,

1107
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: bring me everyone, and the other cops says everyone, and

1108
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: he grabs him and he jerks him close to him

1109
01:03:52,200 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: and he screams into space. Every word ah the professional.

1110
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I saw that a long time. I think

1111
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: I've only seen that movie once. But um yeah, I

1112
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: I think did did they? Did they remake it? They

1113
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: remade it? Right? It was originally a French film, Yes, sir,

1114
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 1: I think so yeah. I think that's right, all right?

1115
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: And what else have you got from it? Sorry? So

1116
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: you got me on that when i'm I'm I'm not

1117
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: doing well to do in the action movie quotes over

1118
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: too so far? What else is on your mind? No?

1119
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: I just I know that everybody's angry at the Conservatives

1120
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 1: and are the Republicans on this deal? And I called

1121
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: you a while back saying I don't think it's gonna matter,

1122
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: which I think it might, but I mean, I just

1123
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: want your thoughts are more than anything. Is. I mean,

1124
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: we got a primary amount, but other than that, what's

1125
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: the alternative? I mean, I don't even think we're gonna

1126
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: I think that we're deluding ourselves if we're gonna say

1127
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: that we fix this by primarying them out because you know,

1128
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: look at how many primaries John McCain has made it through.

1129
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, so you know, and this isn't the first

1130
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: time that he's gone maverick and gotten a glowing editorial

1131
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: commentary in the New York Times about him. Right, that's

1132
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: in some sense you feel like this that's really his

1133
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: His brand as a Republican is the Republican who breaks

1134
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: with I mean McCain fine gold for example, terrible legislation.

1135
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: His brand is the Republican who breaks ranks with Republicans

1136
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: to give Democrats what they want at key moments and

1137
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: gets nice things written about him in the New York Times,

1138
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: the Washington Post. And yet he wins Arizona's vote for

1139
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: him year after years. So you know, if you're not

1140
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 1: gonna primary John McCain, who are you gonna primary? I

1141
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: think that's what you know? Yeah, what else can you do? Though?

1142
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: I mean, do you want to give it back to

1143
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: the Democrats? No? Look, I'm not I'm not saying that

1144
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: that that we shouldn't try. I'm just saying I wish

1145
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: it was as straightforward as just well, yeah, we'll we'll

1146
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 1: throw the throw the bums out of office, so to speak.

1147
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: But that's that's not gonna happen, man. I mean we

1148
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: we we've had now, we've we've had, like I said,

1149
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: the Tea Party and the conservative wave and you've got

1150
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, the Marcar Rubio and Ted Cruz and the

1151
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 1: Freedom cauc is all. You know, all these guys that

1152
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 1: uh and gals who are all about their conservative bona fidez.

1153
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: And yet here we are, here we are, we can't

1154
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: get rid of Obamacare. You know what, what else can

1155
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: you really say about it? Other than that I wish

1156
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: I had, you know, you know what we should make

1157
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: you have your Brent said, it's a great time to

1158
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: be alive. America is a wonderful place. And you know,

1159
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: I hear New Mexico is beautiful this time of year.

1160
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: So there you go. Well I appreciate it, alright, thank you.

1161
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: So okay, So some of the White House stuff. I

1162
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 1: don't spend a lot of time on the shenanigans going

1163
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: on inside the White House because first of all, I

1164
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: don't I don't have close ties to this White House,

1165
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: which I think is good in some ways. You know,

1166
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: our media is so obsessed with access that I think

1167
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: they often lose objectivity. Um that just because you can

1168
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: speak to somebody who is either in power or very

1169
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 1: close to those in power, doesn't mean that you're necessarily

1170
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: getting an accurate picture at all. And the moment you

1171
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 1: start to trade your objectivity for that access, I think

1172
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: it's very hard to have a a clear view of

1173
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: what's going on at the upper reaches of the administration.

1174
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 1: So I've just, yeah, I've I've got my sources that

1175
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: I speak to about this stuff who are who are

1176
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 1: closed to things. But for the most part, I'm just

1177
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: looking at it and trying to be an objective and

1178
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: hopefully sometimes insightful observer. But this week was even by

1179
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: Trump administration standards, it's just a crazy week. I mean,

1180
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: you had Oh, by the way, before I get into

1193
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: going on in the White House right now? You have

1194
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: Sarah Huckabee Sanders being asked about the Scaramucci interviews today. Yeah,

1195
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: we want to said the Scottamoucci. It's fun. It is

1196
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,680

01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: you've got the Scottamucci or you know, the American version,

1198
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: the mooch. Hey, oh, mooch. Um, it does sound like

1199
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 1: a the the name that would have been given to

1200
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 1: a character on on The Sopranos. But you know, he

1201
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: embraced he embraces the nickname and people for him as

1202
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: the mooch, and I like, you know, I like that

1203
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: aspect of it. Right. People embrace nicknames generally. I'm I'm

1204
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 1: in favor because it means they're not taking themselves too seriously.

1205
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: But you got the mooch and he went down there

1210
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: at the New Yorker. I think I spoke to one

1211
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 1: of them. I think it was Liza uh and went

1212
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:22,960

1213
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 1: but I'd like to say it is tirade, right or tirade, yeah,

1214
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 1: tirade whatever. He was on one of those things, and

1215
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 1: a lot of it got printed and it was not

1216
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: so not so great a debut as a communications director

1217
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 1: unless you're Trump. Because Trump liked it. Trump was like, yeah,

1218
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 1: I kind of like it. And there are those who

1219
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: are even saying that one of the reasons previous is

1220
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: gone is because, uh, Trump was unhappy this According to

1221
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: the Hill, that Trump was unhappy that previous didn't punch

1222
01:09:56,320 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: back at metaphorically speaking at Scaramuch. So is that true

1223
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:03,639
Speaker 1: or not? I don't know. It sounds like it could

1224
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: be true, though. Trump is a is a rough and

1225
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 1: tumble guy. He likes, he likes he likes the scrum um,

1226
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 1: which I'm pretty sure is a rugby term, right. Uh

1227
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: So he likes to get into that huckaby Sanders was asked,

1228
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,640
Speaker 1: she's now the White House, you know, press sector. She

1229
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 1: was asked about this. Here's what she said. Look, I

1230
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,639
Speaker 1: think Anthony put out a statement here just moments ago

1231
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: and uh stated that, you know, this is a guy

1232
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:32,759
Speaker 1: who sometimes uses colorful and uh in many circles, probably

1233
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 1: not appropriate language. And uh, he's very passionate about the president,

1234
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 1: the president's agenda, and I think he may have let

1235
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,560
Speaker 1: that get the best of him in that conversation. The

1236
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 1: bottom line is most of us here at the White

1237
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: House are focused on who has a job out in America,

1238
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 1: not who has a job here. I gotta say, of

1239
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: all the stuff I've seen from Sarah Huckaby Sanders, that

1240
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 1: was probably one of the best uh moments of Press

1241
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 1: Secretary jiu jitsu. That was pretty She's like, yeah, you know,

1242
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: I mean what and great, but hey, let's move on

1243
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 1: to policy. I was like, oh, look at that. She's

1244
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: she's uh, she is has verbal agility up there for sure. Um.

1245
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 1: And we heard a little more about this from Senior

1246
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: White House Counselor Kelly Ann Conway. He's making clear that

1247
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:26,200
Speaker 1: even though these documents are eventually procurable publicly, that somebody

1248
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: doesn't want him here, and somebody is trying to get

1249
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: in his way and scare him off from working here,

1250
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: which is a huge mistake. There are leaks and then

1251
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: there are people using the press to shive each other

1252
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 1: in the ribs. That's different than a leak. A leak

1253
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 1: is did you see the memo Kelly An put out

1254
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 1: on this Manta? Did you hear what Jared said in

1255
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: the senior staffing. That's that's a classic leak. The other

1256
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: thing that's going on here is people occurring favor with

1257
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: the press getting their own positive coverage by hurting their

1258
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,799
Speaker 1: colleagues here. That is a complete disservice to the president.

1259
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 1: The president is doing so well and when people in

1260
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,759
Speaker 1: this House and throughout the administration do that, it steps

1261
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 1: all over the president's positive message. Yeah, there's a lot

1262
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: of egomania in government. There are a lot of people

1263
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: who are quite concerned with the public perception of them.

1264
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: In fact, to run for elected office at the national level,

1265
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: I think you have to have an ego that at

1266
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: least borders on, if not goes deep into unhealthy territory.

1267
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 1: But one thing I will say is that I have

1268
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 1: I've never been particularly impressed with the people who run government.

1269
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 1: I have been very impressed with some of the people

1270
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 1: have come across in government, meaning they are public servants, UM,

1271
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 1: in the intelligence community, certainly on the military side, and

1272
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: in the intelligence community. I've met people who have found

1273
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:52,680
Speaker 1: very impressive. But even those who are at the very

1274
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:57,639
Speaker 1: top of the bureaucracies and agencies I tend to find

1275
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 1: deeply unimpressive. Not always, but off and and on the

1276
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 1: elected official side of things. I mean, it just feels

1277
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: like it just feels like clowns man. I mean, it's

1278
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: this is it's commonplace. Now you get people who are yeah,

1279
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 1: I know all a fair amount of them are smart,

1280
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:15,839
Speaker 1: but I mean the ones that you Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi.

1281
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean, how how upset am I really supposed to

1282
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: get about the and this is This is not to

1283
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: say that this is not a what about is? And

1284
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 1: this is a why do I rorism? Which are different things.

1285
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: How upset can I really get about Trump's top people

1286
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: and how they speak to press or whatever? Um? After

1287
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 1: the press being not just fine with but but going

1288
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: to the mat in defense of the Clinton administration for

1289
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 1: eight years and then doing everything they could for Hillary

1290
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 1: despite all of her shortcomings and and her just greed

1291
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 1: and grasping nature. I mean, they were doing everything they

1292
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: could for Hillary, someone who is not not ethical, who

1293
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 1: is very quick to sell access or at least the

1294
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: perception of access, in every way that she can how

1295
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 1: help set am I really supposed to be over the

1296
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 1: way that this White House functions, over the way that

1297
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: people in this White House speak to each other or

1298
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: the press. It's it's hard for me to summon that

1299
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: much will to care about this. I should also put

1300
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 1: out there doesn't even really think that ram Emmanuel, who

1301
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: was famous for and some of it was reported, but

1302
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:30,600
Speaker 1: famous for using just the most look profanity. I'm a

1303
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of colorful language in my personal life

1304
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:35,720
Speaker 1: off air. I mean, I think that colorful languages is

1305
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: important and is expressive in the right context. Ram Emanuel

1306
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:44,800
Speaker 1: was quite the potty mouth from what we have been told,

1307
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 1: and was famously verbally abusive of staff and people around him.

1308
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 1: Yet I did not a lot of not a lot

1309
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:53,640
Speaker 1: of people all, you know, how could Obama have this

1310
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,599
Speaker 1: person and as the chief of staff in his White House?

1311
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 1: So this is really this goes in category of well,

1312
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to finish when I think about this,

1313
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:05,640
Speaker 1: because I realized I've almost run into the break here.

1314
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 1: But stay with me on this. I've got more. I've

1315
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: got more. Major Jim in Michigan. What's up, dude, Dylan's

1318
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: think you will be the replacement when he retires. Thank

1319
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 1: you very much for very kind words. One can only hope. Yeah, um,

Speaker 1: I got quote I'll get this first icon on action

1321
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 1: movie and hopefully you'll judge it as one. And then

1322
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: I got a comment about living space, kick the tires,

1323
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: light the fires. I have a need for speed. Uh,

1324
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:48,400

1325
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: redeem myself a little bit. Okay, I mean if I'm

1329
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 1: although I don't think. I don't think the rent would

1330
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: be the same for the shed as for the tiny

1331
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 1: apartment I live in New York City, although I'm moving

1332

Speaker 1: next week. Yeah, it's gonna be slightly bigger, but not

1333
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 1: really consider the Midwest, because I mean, I've got square

1334
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: foot garage. Oh my gosh, we're foot on the house

1335
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 1: and I only paid eight thousand. What what state is

01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: this I'm in. I'm in Michigan. I'm just one point

1337
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 1: two miles north of Elkhart, Indiana. I went out to

1338
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: Michigan a little over, you know, maybe about a couple

1339
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: of years ago, like right in the center of Michigan.

1340
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 1: And I spoke to uh Acosta County? Is that Zetta County?

1341
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 1: Am I crazy? I forget? What? Yeah? Yeah, fair enough.

1346
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 1: thank you very much for calling in. I appreciate it. Um. So,

1347
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 1: I just want to finish some thoughts. And by the way,

1348
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm not getting into uh, I'm not gonna I'm not

1349
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 1: sure I have tied this out of Trump. I know

1350
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: gave an MS thirteen tackling MS thirteen speech today, um

1351
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: And speaking of tackling, he did say something about getting

1352
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: about the police and being rough, and of course the

1353
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: media was like, oh my gosh, here's what he said.

1354
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 1: I said, please, don't be too nice. Like when you

1355
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:41,679
Speaker 1: guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head,

1356
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, the way you put their hand of, like,

1357
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: don't hit their head and they've just killed somebody, don't

1358
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away. Okay, Well,

1359
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 1: you know he was he was joking. I think pretty

1360
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,720
Speaker 1: clearly there he really was joking. But people in the media, uh,

1361
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 1: are upset about it. I saw people saying the President

1362
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 1: of the United States is encouraging violence once again, just humorless.

1363
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing that you could have a president who

1364
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 1: is who's so fond of making jokes and and being

1365
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 1: lightheart at a different times than speaking very off the cuff,

1366
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: and and yet there are people who who choose very

1367
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:24,679
Speaker 1: obviously choose to take him literally at every turn because

1368
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 1: they're just deranged with with animosity towards the president. Um.

1369
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, he said that that you don't have to

1370
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 1: be so gentle. He was referring to, you know, when

1371
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 1: you are putting somebody in the squad car they was watching,

1372
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 1: there was its procedure to make sure that they don't

1373
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 1: bump the head. Of course, if somebody did bump their head,

1374
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 1: really are you know, then there'd be a lawsuit and

1375
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,599
Speaker 1: the cops are getting trouble, and we've been through all

1376
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 1: that again. Um, but I think we'll have to. I've

1377
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: been thinking about doing a deep dive on MS their team,

1378
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 1: the gang, the Central American I think it actually started

1379
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: in US prisons, but it has deep links to Central America.

1380
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 1: And I know that Jeff Sessions is in Central America

1381
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 1: speaking to allies, their partners, law enforcement partners, they're about

1382
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 1: dealing with MS thirteen. I'm gonna do some research into

1383
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,640
Speaker 1: the group and then look into it more because I

1384
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: know they're incredibly violent and very very bad news. But

1385
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 1: I'd say I'm more familiar with Mexican drug cartels, uh,

1386
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, the various cartels out of Mexico than I

1387
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: am with MS thirteen in terms of its history and

1388
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:25,639
Speaker 1: what it does. So maybe next week or the week after,

1389
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 1: we'll do sort of a deep dive into MS thirteen. Um,

1390
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 1: that's we are going to do. National security coming up

1391
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: here in just a few minutes. And then also I've

1392
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: got a hero joining us, So a lot planned for

1393
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:41,680
Speaker 1: this last hour of the show. Um and uh, if

1394
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 1: you oh, by the way, Buck Sex and dot Com

1395
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 1: slash store T shirts, hats, awesome stuff including shields high

1396
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 1: T shirts, go check them out. I love freedom hut myself.

1397
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: But we'll be right back. We've heard of there's a

1398
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,360
Speaker 1: lot going on in the world of national security and

1399
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: international relations, and I know this week, because of the

1400
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 1: focus on health care, on the shake ups in the

1401
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: White House, we haven't spent as much time on those

1402
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 1: issues as we normally do. But to make up for that,

1403
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: now we've got a ringer, We've got an ace up

1404
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: a sleeve. Dr Jonathan Schanzer is with us. He is

1405
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: senior vice president the Foundation for for Defensive Democracies and

1406
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 1: he also worked as a terrorism finance analyst at the

1407
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: US Department of the Treasury. Dr Shans are great to

1408
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: have you, thanks a lot, Buck. Uh, So, can you

1409
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: first tell what happened? Because this was a story that

1410
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: at a different point of the news cycle, Jonathan and

1411
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 1: would have gotten a lot of attention. Uh, there was

1412
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:37,759
Speaker 1: violence at the Temple Mount. Then there was a feud

1413
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 1: over metal detectors. Just walk us through that from start

1414
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 1: to finish, because I actually haven't brought it up at

1415
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 1: all on the show, yet absolutely so. About three weeks ago,

1416
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,600
Speaker 1: there was an incident on the Temple Mount that I

1417
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:51,680
Speaker 1: think shocked a lot of Israelis, and that was the

1418
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: two Arab Israeli policeman. In other words, these are these

1419
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: are Arabs who are loyal to the State of Israel.

1420
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 1: They're patrolling the Temple Mount and are right outside the

1421
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: Temple Mount and they they get shot, uh, and the

1422
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: assailants run to the to the Temple Mount, they run

1423
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 1: to the third Holy a site in Islam, and that's

1424
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 1: where they seek shelter. It's apparently where they had been

1425
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 1: hiding their weapons, and so a shootout ensues where Israeli

1426
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 1: security ultimately neutralized them. Uh. At that point, the Israeli

1427
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: has become very concerned that perhaps the Temple Mount has

1428
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:31,680
Speaker 1: been used to store other weapons, or that perhaps other

1429
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: people could have exploited whatever loophole the assailants had used

1430
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 1: in the first place. So UH they begin to take

1431
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 1: security measures, and one of the things that they do

1432
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:45,840
Speaker 1: is they install metal detectors on the Temple Mount or

1433
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:48,599
Speaker 1: on the in the entrance to the Temple Mount, at

1434
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: which point UH, the Palestinian community uh goes bonkers and

1435
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: UH it was. It was really actually kind of surprising

1436
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: because the Israelis have done essentially what the saudiast have done,

1437
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: what others have done when they have uh, you know,

1438
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 1: significant holy sites where lots of people go crowd control anyway, Uh,

1439
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 1: we saw essentially days of rage, in fact, leading to

1440
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 1: one mass murder uh in the West Bank. A family

1441
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,639
Speaker 1: was slaughtered as they were sitting down the Friday night dinner. Uh.

1442
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 1: And Uh, the Israelis came under a huge amount of

1443
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 1: pressure from the rest of the Arab world to remove

1444
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 1: those metal detectors, and they eventually did capitulate. And UH,

1445
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:35,639
Speaker 1: I do wonder whether the situation is any safer today

1446
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 1: as a result of this. I think a lot of

1447
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 1: world leaders are saying, well, it's good that we've gone

1448
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: back to relative calm. First of all, the Palestinians are

1449
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 1: still rioting. Second of all, I'm not sure we've solved

1450
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 1: the problem rioting because of security measures on that were

1451
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: put in place after a murderous incident at a holy site.

1452
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 1: That that just seems like a strange, a strange reason

1453
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 1: for Palestinians. I mean, what were what was their version

1454
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 1: of of why there should be. I mean that the

1455
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 1: people that were upset that we're rioting, and as you said,

1456
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:10,679
Speaker 1: that involved its own violence, but they were complaining why

1457
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:14,719
Speaker 1: and what what was their claim uh for this rioting.

1458
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:18,679
Speaker 1: They were claiming that the Israelis were infringing upon their

1459
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 1: rights their free movement on this holy site. But really,

1460
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they continue to make it the issue

1461
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 1: that it was that it was metal detectors. What it

1462
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: really was was the fact that Israel had imposed these

1463
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: metal detectors, that Israel maintained sovereignty over the Old City.

1464
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 1: This is uh. We actually just passed the fiftieth anniversary

1465
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: of Israel conquering that territory during the Sixth Day War

1466
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:46,840
Speaker 1: of nineteen sixty seven, and so there it was a

1467
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 1: lot of tension I think as a result of that.

1468
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:50,600
Speaker 1: And so I mean I always say, when you know,

1469
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 1: when people talk about the flare ups and violence in

1470
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: the Palace in Israeli conflict, they say, well, you know,

1471
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 1: why did this happen? And I and my my answer

1472
01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: is always that it's the same war that the Israelis

1473
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 1: have been fighting since nineteen and that is just simply

1474
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: that they are not wanted there by the Palestinian UH

1475
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 1: neighbors or by many of their Arab neighbors as well.

1476
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 1: We're speaking to Dr Jonathan Schanzer. He's vice president of

1477
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 1: the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Who've got a bunch

1478
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 1: of issues to talk to you about. Dr Schanzer, and

1479
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 1: talk to me about the UH. The latest with the

1480
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 1: Iranian missile launch. Well, uh, it is um yet another

1481
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 1: missile launch by the Iranians. Uh, you know, and and

1482
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: what it's done is it's essentially revived the debate about

1483
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 1: whether or not the Iranians have been adhering to the

1484
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 1: nuclear deal. The Uranians will say that they have absolutely

1485
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 1: adhered to it. Except the problem is is that when

1486
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 1: the nuclear deal is ratified, it was ratified pursuant to

1487
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 1: a new U N resolution that called upon Iran to

1488
01:24:54,600 --> 01:25:00,160
Speaker 1: halt its missile launches. Uh. Now, the Iranians will say that, uh,

1489
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't say that it must halt them. It that

1490
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 1: it just calls upon them to halt. So it's really

1491
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 1: more of an advisory rather than a demand. But the

1492
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:11,680
Speaker 1: bottom line is is that when we look at the

1493
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 1: nuclear deal, it is it's a taking time bomb quite

1494
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: literally that uh. In roughly ten or twelve years, the

1495
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 1: Iranians will have that full breakout capability without having any sanctions.

1496
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: And I think even more worries worrisome is they will

1497
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: have the ability to UH to deliver those weapons and

1498
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: they will probably be able to do that within the

1499
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: next seven years because the ballistic missile embargo will be lifted.

1500
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: So there is this real concern that the Iranians are

1501
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 1: mastering UH the nuclear cycle. They're mastering some of the

1502
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: technology that they need without having all the enriched uranium

1503
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:48,720
Speaker 1: that they need in order to make a bomb. If

1504
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:52,520
Speaker 1: you were advising the Trump administration specifically on the Iranian

1505
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 1: nuclear deal, based on where we are right now, right,

1506
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:57,600
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of the punditry that I

1507
01:25:57,680 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 1: see on TV is the worst deal ever and the

1508
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 1: never should have been done. Okay, fine, but you know

1509
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: where we are where we are today. So based on

1510
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 1: where we are today with this whole thing, Jonathan, where

1511
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 1: where do you think the administration should go or what

1512
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 1: what would be your advice? Well, my advice is to

1513
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 1: keep it for the moment, because the Iranians are adhering

1514
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 1: at least to the letter, and of course, I mean

1515
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 1: the fact that they're adhering to it and they're still

1516
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:22,559
Speaker 1: doing all of these things should give you an indication

1517
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 1: of in fact, how bad the deal is. Right that

1518
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 1: it's a good idea for them to obey the deal.

1519
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:31,639
Speaker 1: It can't be that painful, right, exactly right. So now

1520
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 1: the question then becomes, well, what do you do beyond that?

1521
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:37,560
Speaker 1: And I think that one of the complaints that we

1522
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: hear from critics of the deal is that it didn't

1523
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 1: deal with any of the terrorism support. It didn't it

1524
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: didn't tackle the support for Hamas and his blood and

1525
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 1: for the Assad regime, and the hoopies and Yemen uh another,

1526
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 1: cyber activities, human rights. Uh. I mean, there are all

1527
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 1: these things that were left off the table, and that

1528
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 1: was kind of the weakness of the deal. But you

1529
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 1: can do a little jiu jitsu here, and you can

1530
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 1: you can point to the fact that because they were

1531
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 1: not part of the deal, the United States has a

1532
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 1: free hand to pursue Iran through sanctions or other means

1533
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: because it was left off the table. Now the Iranians

1534
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:16,120
Speaker 1: will say, well, that's not part of the deal. But

1535
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:18,560
Speaker 1: of course, if you if you read this thing, you know,

1536
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: strictly legal interpretation of the deal the United States can

1537
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:25,840
Speaker 1: pursue Iran over these issues, and so I think there's

1538
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 1: lots of room for leverage with the Iranians. I think

1539
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 1: we can begin to impose new sanctions. We can make

1540
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: it hurt as much as it hurt the last time,

1541
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:35,920
Speaker 1: and uh, and and perhaps there might be a way

1542
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 1: of getting back to maybe the table again to renegotiate

1543
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 1: these other things. I'm not terribly sanguine about the prospect

1544
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:47,600
Speaker 1: of the Iranians halting their support for terrorism, but I

1545
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 1: do think we can get some leverage and uh, maybe

1546
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:54,679
Speaker 1: in the process, um, you know, uh, weaken the regime

1547
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:58,639
Speaker 1: through perhaps asymmetrical means as well. Now, let's let's move

1548
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 1: a little bit off of Iran towards the Arabian Gulf situation.

1549
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 1: You're on a piece in the hill these days, it's

1550
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 1: the clash of the Arabian Gulf. Cache in Washington, what's

1551
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 1: going on there? Well, in late May, the country of

1552
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 1: Cutsar came under a cyber attack. It actually happened on

1553
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 1: the same day that my organization, the Foundation for Defensive Democracies,

1554
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:25,960
Speaker 1: held a conference in which we really raked the Cutteries

1555
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:29,719
Speaker 1: over the coals for their terrorism support across the region.

1556
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 1: They are, of course an American ally, they have a

1557
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:34,720
Speaker 1: major air base UH in the Middle East, that's where

1558
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,240
Speaker 1: most of our war against ISIS and al Qaeda spot.

1559
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:41,360
Speaker 1: But down the street, UH, from that base, you've got Taliban,

1560
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,080
Speaker 1: you've got no thro affront you know, al Qaida, and Syria,

1561
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 1: you've got Hamas. UH, you've got designated terrorist financiers by

1562
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:50,040
Speaker 1: the United States and the u N that have not

1563
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:52,679
Speaker 1: been brought to justice. So there is a real double

1564
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 1: game that the cutteries have been playing. So they got

1565
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 1: hacked in late May. They got really angry and the

1566
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 1: some one let's just say for now, no one's proven

1567
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 1: who it was, but someone hacked the ambassador from the

1568
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 1: U a E to the United States, and UH they

1569
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:13,759
Speaker 1: tried to essentially smear the U a E For perhaps

1570
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 1: being behind ftd S event which they weren't, but also

1571
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: showing that the U a E was you know, I

1572
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,560
Speaker 1: guess as bad or worse as as the cutteries. I

1573
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 1: think they probably failed in doing that. But shortly after

1574
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 1: that hack back, let's call it UH, that's when we

1575
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 1: saw UH the full rupture with the Gulf States that

1576
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:39,120
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE as well as Egypt, all cut

1577
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 1: ties with the cutteries. They blocked maritime roots, they blocked

1578
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:46,760
Speaker 1: air routes, which was devastating for the cutteries. You saw

1579
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:50,479
Speaker 1: a plummeting of their of their currency, their stock market

1580
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:53,640
Speaker 1: took a hit, and they were very, very isolated. And

1581
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 1: what we've seen since is that the Arab states have

1582
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 1: you refused to relent, and so the cutteries remain defiant.

1583
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:04,120
Speaker 1: They continue to say that they're innocent. They are not.

1584
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:06,760
Speaker 1: But what's interesting is that, you know, if you look

1585
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:08,840
Speaker 1: at the countries that are that are kind of lashing

1586
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:11,840
Speaker 1: out of the cutteries, they're not exactly innocent either, right.

1587
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the Saudis are lecturing the cutteries on sponsoring terror,

1588
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,720
Speaker 1: aren't they right? Well, now, look, I would say that

1589
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:21,479
Speaker 1: the Saudis have turned a corner. They're better than they were.

1590
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 1: Are they innocent? No. They continue to spread Wahabism, which

1591
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:28,479
Speaker 1: is the most radical interpretation of Islam, and they're spending

1592
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:30,559
Speaker 1: billions of dollars a year doing it, so they're kind

1593
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 1: of creating terrorists for us, which you know, I don't

1594
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:37,000
Speaker 1: really appreciate. Uh. And and then the Kuwaitis are actually

1595
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 1: worse than um than everyone other than the cutteries, and

1596
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:43,760
Speaker 1: most people don't know this. So and they all have

1597
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:46,400
Speaker 1: a democracy deficit. Neither none of them are you know,

1598
01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 1: are exactly you know, liberal places, uh you know, to

1599
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:53,600
Speaker 1: to live. So it's a bit of a case of

1600
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,720
Speaker 1: kind of baldmin fighting over a comb. But at the

1601
01:30:57,200 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 1: at the at the very least Turkeys involved in this too, right, Well,

1602
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:04,240
Speaker 1: the Turks have come to the assistance of the cutter cutteries,

1603
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 1: right because they're kind of pro Islamits these days as well.

1604
01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 1: They are, and I would actually say that the Cutteries

1605
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:14,680
Speaker 1: and the Turks are the pro Muslim brotherhood block uh

1606
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:16,960
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, and so they have they have

1607
01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:20,160
Speaker 1: a strategic alliance, and so the Turks are coming to

1608
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 1: the rescue of the Cutteries. I would actually say that

1609
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 1: if this thing drags on, the Turks might be dragged

1610
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:27,040
Speaker 1: into it as well. The airb states might get fed

1611
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:29,559
Speaker 1: up to uh. Most of these Arab states, when they

1612
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: speak quietly with us, they'll tell us that, uh, you know,

1613
01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:34,800
Speaker 1: they're the number one threat is Iran, second as Cutter

1614
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 1: and servius Turkey. So uh, it is a full on

1615
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 1: economic war right now. This isolation campaign against against the cutteries,

1616
01:31:44,600 --> 01:31:47,720
Speaker 1: and they are defiant. The Arab States are calling for

1617
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:50,760
Speaker 1: the closing down of Al Jazeera, which is, you know,

1618
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 1: the flagship television station for for for coats are so uh,

1619
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:59,080
Speaker 1: it's it's become very nasty. I actually testified before Congress

1620
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 1: two days ago on this issue. There was a lot

1621
01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 1: of interest, a lot of lobbyists who are all weighing

1622
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 1: in on this thing, and that was kind of my

1623
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:09,760
Speaker 1: point about the clash of the of the golf cash.

1624
01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:14,160
Speaker 1: There's so much money splashing around in Washington, uh that

1625
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:18,160
Speaker 1: is designed to kind of whitewash these Gulf states, and

1626
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:20,480
Speaker 1: in the end, I think it's actually been very detrimental

1627
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:22,680
Speaker 1: that we've lost sight of the fact that they are

1628
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 1: harming our national interest. Cutter I think in particular, but

1629
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 1: these other countries are not innocent either, and I think

1630
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 1: that we really need to take a hard look at

1631
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:34,719
Speaker 1: at how the lobbyists are operating and how much influence

1632
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 1: they have, because it's really become I think of a

1633
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:41,840
Speaker 1: very disturbing phenomenon. Dr Jonathan Schanzer, Foundation for Defensive Democracies.

1634
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 1: Great to have you, sir, Thanks for coming to hang out.

Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone. It is American Heroes Week and we

1642
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 1: have been spending some time talking about that here on

1643
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:21,080
Speaker 1: the show. The White House declared it to be a

1644
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:24,679
Speaker 1: week to think about, to UH, commemorate and to honor

1645
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:28,920
Speaker 1: the heroes in our midst first responders, police, US military,

1646
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 1: our men and women in uniform. So I wanted to

1647
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:36,160
Speaker 1: talk to our friend Brandon Webb about what this week

1648
01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:38,880
Speaker 1: means for him and for those that he served with.

1649
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:41,639
Speaker 1: Brandon Webb as a former Navy Seal in combat veteran

1650
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 1: with deployments to Afghanistan and iraq Um. He also is

1651
01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:48,360
Speaker 1: a New York Comes bestselling author. He has The Red

1652
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:51,519
Speaker 1: Circle UH to his credit, as well as The Killing

1653
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,200
Speaker 1: School and the Power of Thought. But we're going to

1654
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:58,160
Speaker 1: talk to him right now about his book Among Heroes. Brandon,

1655
01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:01,120
Speaker 1: great to have you any thanks for having me Buck,

1656
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 1: So it's Heroes Week. According to the White House, you

1657
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:06,720
Speaker 1: wrote a book about heroes. Um, what what does it

1658
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 1: mean for you? Brand? I mean when somebody says to

1659
01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:11,800
Speaker 1: you you served with heroes, Brandon Webb, and I'm sure

1660
01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:13,800
Speaker 1: they also say to you because it's true, you're a hero.

1661
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think of you as my friend, but

1662
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 1: you're also a hero. But what does it mean to

1663
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:19,800
Speaker 1: you when when people ask you know what it was

1664
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:23,240
Speaker 1: like to serve with and be among heroes? As your title?

1665
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 1: As the book title says, the whole reason I wrote

1666
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 1: Among Heroes was to tell the story and honor my

1667
01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 1: friends who gave all. You know, they they gave all

1668
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:40,040
Speaker 1: sin snile. Loving these guys, their stories would not be

1669
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:45,799
Speaker 1: heard if guys um. For instance, my friend Chris Tonto

1670
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:49,679
Speaker 1: Pronto wrote Thirteen Hours, which also featured my best friend

1671
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:52,720
Speaker 1: Glenn Doherty who gave his life and Benghazi. So and

1672
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:55,360
Speaker 1: these stories need to be told. And it's it's one

1673
01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:58,600
Speaker 1: of the reasons I as much as writing is therapeutic,

1674
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 1: I really apreciate the guys that have the courage to

1675
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 1: get out and put pen to paper and write these

1676
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 1: stories and honor their friends and heroes. And that's it

1677
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:11,760
Speaker 1: was the whole driving purpose behind among heroes for me

1678
01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:16,759
Speaker 1: was truly honoring the my friends who gave their lives

1679
01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:19,559
Speaker 1: since NY eleven when I served with them the Seal teams,

1680
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:22,040
Speaker 1: and to honor them and their families and tell those

1681
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:25,639
Speaker 1: stories and in a positive way so that the reader

1682
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:28,200
Speaker 1: could walk away and go, wow, I've got a little

1683
01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:31,400
Speaker 1: bit of Glenn Doherty inside me, and and I'm a

1684
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:34,800
Speaker 1: better person for having read the book you mentioned thirteen Hours.

1685
01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 1: We actually had John take Teagan on the show yesterday

1686
01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:42,559
Speaker 1: to talk about about his experience in in Benghazi. I'm

1687
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:45,160
Speaker 1: sure he's someone you've you've spoken to and come across

1688
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 1: in the past. Brandon. The one thing that I think

1689
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 1: is so remarkable about guys like John. You mentioned Tonto,

1690
01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:55,920
Speaker 1: Chris Baranto, and you mentioned some other seals that you

1691
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,120
Speaker 1: served with, including seals who lost their lives fighting for

1692
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,800
Speaker 1: the country, is the humility. And this is one thing

1693
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:03,720
Speaker 1: you know, Brandon. You're a guy who's who's walked the

1694
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:06,960
Speaker 1: walk and then some. And I've always noticed this about

1695
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 1: those who who are really out there and really doing it,

1696
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:13,439
Speaker 1: they don't they don't flaunt it. There's a humility that

1697
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:16,719
Speaker 1: comes along. I mean a real operator or somebody who's

1698
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 1: happy doing the mission and knowing what they bring to it,

1699
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:23,160
Speaker 1: knowing what their skill set is, uh and not feeling

1700
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:25,439
Speaker 1: like they have to walk around and make a big

1701
01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:27,160
Speaker 1: deal out of it all the time. There's a humility

1702
01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:29,280
Speaker 1: that I feel like always comes across from these guys,

1703
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:34,000
Speaker 1: a humility. And you know, guys in in my book

1704
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 1: among Here, I was like Dave Scott. Dave was was

1705
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 1: an enlisted seal that went on to become an officer

1706
01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:43,479
Speaker 1: was that Georgetown and wrote a paper about as Bin

1707
01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:46,519
Speaker 1: lad in the eighteen months eighteen months before Night eleven

1708
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:51,280
Speaker 1: and his his professor, and his paper was about how

1709
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:55,560
Speaker 1: the Lattam was coming to rise to the position he

1710
01:36:56,320 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 1: was in and how he was planning to attack the Westons.

1711
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 1: Professor practically laughed him out of his class. And eighteen

1712
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 1: months later Dave and I are serving together on Seal

1713
01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:10,320
Speaker 1: Team three and the twin Towers come down. So, I mean,

1714
01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 1: there's there's so much complexity um around these these guys,

1715
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:18,880
Speaker 1: and and we've lost so much since nine eleven in

1716
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,400
Speaker 1: the form of this human capital that I'm just glad

1717
01:37:21,439 --> 01:37:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm able to capture their stories and and bring their

1718
01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 1: share their lives with with the readers, so that that's

1719
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:30,639
Speaker 1: what it was all about. And I think that we're

1720
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:32,679
Speaker 1: speaking of Brandon Webb, by the way, as a former

1721
01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:36,639
Speaker 1: Navy seal author of The Red Circle. Brandon actually designed

1722
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:39,200
Speaker 1: the Navy Steel Sniper Course, which is what The Red

1723
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:41,840
Speaker 1: Circles about. He's also a New York Times bestselling author

1724
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,600
Speaker 1: of a few books, including The Killing School, which is

1725
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:47,400
Speaker 1: his latest, The Power of Thought and Total Focus. We're

1726
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 1: talking to about among heroes, Brandon. You know, if when

1727
01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:54,240
Speaker 1: we look at what's going on right now in the country,

1728
01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:57,840
Speaker 1: I think that with this administration, UM, there is a

1729
01:37:57,880 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 1: renewed focus on first responders, on on police and and

1730
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 1: at least I'm hearing from people in the military, and

1731
01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:07,560
Speaker 1: I know that this always I don't like to politicize this,

1732
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:10,800
Speaker 1: but that that there's a there's a sense, there's a

1733
01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:15,320
Speaker 1: sense that, uh, there's a greater a greater pride from

1734
01:38:15,320 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 1: the very top, shall we say, about US military efforts

1735
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:22,600
Speaker 1: past and present than there has been previously with the

1736
01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 1: previous administration. UM. What do you think about that? And

1737
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 1: do you think it affects people? Absolutely? I mean, you know,

1738
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 1: people are upset about Trump's administration. He's doing exactly what

1739
01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:35,759
Speaker 1: he said he was gonna do. He's going to flip

1740
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 1: the political table up up on end, and he's doing that.

1741
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:46,120
Speaker 1: He's not running a traditional organization, and I don't see

1742
01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 1: why anyone is surprised of what's happening. But as far

1743
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:55,400
Speaker 1: as the military goes, absolutely, the morale of the U. S.

1744
01:38:55,520 --> 01:38:59,400
Speaker 1: Military is at a very high level, much higher than

1745
01:38:59,439 --> 01:39:02,760
Speaker 1: it was under the Obama administration. And when you see,

1746
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, the video of the marine I think it

1747
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:10,560
Speaker 1: was it was the the marine helicopter that flies to

1748
01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 1: President around when one of the Marines standing there had

1749
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 1: lost his hat and blown off in the wind, and

1750
01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 1: Trump picks down, grabs the hat and puts it on

1751
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:21,280
Speaker 1: the on the marines had. I mean that that's just

1752
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:27,120
Speaker 1: a big difference between you know, the president Trump and Obama.

1753
01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you never see something like that. Every politician

1754
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:33,519
Speaker 1: knows Brandon as you well know that they have to say, oh, yes,

1755
01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:35,599
Speaker 1: I support the troops, so much respect for the troops.

1756
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:38,400
Speaker 1: But the troops, the troops know what it's pro forma.

1757
01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:41,880
Speaker 1: I think they know when it's really heartfelt. Yeah, yeah,

1758
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 1: And you know, you can say what you want about Trump,

1759
01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:48,200
Speaker 1: but he has this military um. He has a lot

1760
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 1: of respect for the military, and I think he sees

1761
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:55,960
Speaker 1: the tremendous sacrifice that the military men and women have

1762
01:39:56,120 --> 01:39:58,519
Speaker 1: made since nine eleven and the fact that they're really

1763
01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 1: being let down on now by the Veterans administration, an

1764
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 1: administration that is rife with fraud, wasted abuse, millions of

1765
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:10,720
Speaker 1: dollars of waste, you know, a pain management program that

1766
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:14,559
Speaker 1: turns veterans into victims instead of empowering them. They they

1767
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:18,360
Speaker 1: they throw pills at them and it's a big reason them.

1768
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:22,280
Speaker 1: Give a shameless plug for our documentary the guys that

1769
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:25,720
Speaker 1: I made a documentary called Big Mountain Heroes which comes

1770
01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:28,880
Speaker 1: out in the fall, all about using the outdoors as

1771
01:40:28,920 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 1: a form of therapy as as opposed to medication. And

1772
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:35,720
Speaker 1: our motto in the in the movie is where where

1773
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:37,080
Speaker 1: can people go to see more of that or to

1774
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:40,640
Speaker 1: see more about that that whole process, Brendan. They can

1775
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:44,680
Speaker 1: go see the trailer to our our indie documentary. It's

1776
01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:48,639

1777
01:40:49,479 --> 01:40:52,920
Speaker 1: The documentary will be out this winner. It's about five

1778
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 1: special operations that's to go to charge Big Mountain Alps

1779
01:40:57,520 --> 01:41:01,719
Speaker 1: ski and snowboard and give these really in depth interviews

1780
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:06,680
Speaker 1: about their personal transition into the military and how they

1781
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:08,840
Speaker 1: use sport and sounds great man, I will be there.

1782
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna check it out and everyone else should as well.

1783
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:14,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Webb, former Nabcal, author of Among Heroes and my friend.

1784
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:15,800
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Man, great to see you are

1785

Speaker 1: great talking. I'll see you soon. Thanks for thanks. Team

1786
01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 1: hitting a break, We'll be right back. Well, it was

1787
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:24,760
Speaker 1: quite a day of news to him. I'm glad we

1788
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:26,560
Speaker 1: got to get through all of it together. I know

1789
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:29,240
Speaker 1: for a Friday it was it was a lot. Usually

1790
01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:30,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I get to roll in on a

1791
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 1: Friday and kick the feet up on the desk, hang

1792
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:36,559
Speaker 1: out in the hut, and chill with the team here

1793
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:38,519
Speaker 1: a little bit. Get excepted about the weekend. Today. We

1794
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:41,000
Speaker 1: had a lot of ground to cover, and as soon

1795
01:41:41,080 --> 01:41:43,320
Speaker 1: as I finish up in here, I get to go

1796
01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:48,519
Speaker 1: home and prepare for a move. I am moving on Monday.

1797
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 1: Not that this effects the show or my work, so

1798
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm just moving where I live. I'm moving from one

1799
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:59,400
Speaker 1: very overpriced box in New York City to a slightly larger,

1800
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:03,679
Speaker 1: but overpriced box in New York City. It did allow me, however,

1801
01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:08,560
Speaker 1: to purchase my first actual couch as an adult. So

1802
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 1: I realized that I'm thirty five and this is my

1803
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:14,000
Speaker 1: first full I had had. I bought a love seat once,

1804
01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:17,720
Speaker 1: not because I am so full of love or have

1805
01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:20,600
Speaker 1: a thing against full sized couches, but I did not

1806
01:42:20,760 --> 01:42:23,000
Speaker 1: own apartment that had or not own. I did not

1807
01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:25,519
Speaker 1: rent in an apartment that had the room for it.

1808
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:27,599
Speaker 1: So I was able to go and get an actual

1809
01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 1: couch like a like an adult who has a job

1810
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,519
Speaker 1: and a place for a couch, which was nice. These

1811
01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:34,360
Speaker 1: are the things that when you're New York City gets

1812
01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:36,080
Speaker 1: you excited. I know, for the rest of the country

1813
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:40,160
Speaker 1: you're probably chuckling to yourself, like, really, couches, Oh yeah. Once,

1814
01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:42,840
Speaker 1: once you get a couch in your living space, you're

1815
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:47,720
Speaker 1: you're you're definitely living, You're definitely approaching adulthood. And once

1816
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 1: you have a washer dryer that you can call your own,

1817
01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:53,200
Speaker 1: it's it's the American dream. It's the American dream. We

1818
01:42:53,280 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 1: we don't have those sorts of things here in New

1819
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:57,800
Speaker 1: York City. So those are those are the benchmarks of

1820
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:00,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even call it success, just making it to

1821
01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:03,120
Speaker 1: to adulthood in some capacity. I know for many of

1822
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 1: you it's like having children, sending them off to college,

1823
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:09,960
Speaker 1: maybe getting a boat if you're into boating or something.

1824
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:11,760
Speaker 1: In New York it's yeah, if you get a wash

1825
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:15,719
Speaker 1: or dryer, then you've really managed to accomplish something special

1826
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:18,920
Speaker 1: and fantastic. But it was interesting as well, because you

1827
01:43:18,960 --> 01:43:20,760
Speaker 1: know when you when you get ready to move, and

1828
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:25,439
Speaker 1: I've moved a lot of times. I've moved well. I

1829
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:29,080
Speaker 1: think I lived in three different places in Washington, d C.

1830
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:33,920
Speaker 1: And have lived in four or five different places in

1831
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:36,600
Speaker 1: New York City. And so that's also one of the

1832
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:38,639
Speaker 1: reasons why I've never really had much in the way

1833
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:41,599
Speaker 1: of stuff. I don't really own a lot um. I've

1834
01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:44,400
Speaker 1: just got a bed and a desk. I've had the

1835
01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:49,679
Speaker 1: same old wooden desk now for I don't know fifteen

1836
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,040
Speaker 1: twenty years I did. I can't remember if I had

1837
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:53,879
Speaker 1: it in college or not, or maybe it's just afterwards.

1838
01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 1: But I've got a tremendous amount of nostalgia attached to

1839
01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:02,719
Speaker 1: this old wooden desk, which I should probably either fix

1840
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:05,479
Speaker 1: or give away. But you know, when you when you move,

1841
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:09,160
Speaker 1: you actually look over your stuff. You see what you

1842
01:44:09,320 --> 01:44:12,120
Speaker 1: have and what you're carrying around in life, because for

1843
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 1: the first time, you've got to go and I mean,

1844
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:17,439
Speaker 1: I'm telling you some things. Here. I've got a corner,

1845
01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:21,160
Speaker 1: for example, where it's and this is in a very

1846
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:24,400
Speaker 1: tight space, but it's just a corner where I stash

1847
01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:26,600
Speaker 1: stuff that I don't know where to put otherwise, you know,

1848
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:29,160
Speaker 1: I just I just have a place where I sort

1849
01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:32,920
Speaker 1: of marked it off and I should probably put bio

1850
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:36,320
Speaker 1: hazard tape around it or something because it is not well,

1851
01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 1: it's not organized that there is no method to the madness.

1852
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:44,680
Speaker 1: It's just Buck's corner of stuff. But I started to

1853
01:44:44,720 --> 01:44:46,560
Speaker 1: go through it, and it's funny what you what you

1854
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,360
Speaker 1: find when you see that when you're like me and

1855
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:52,760
Speaker 1: you have so little space to organize in the first place,

1856
01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 1: you can start to go through things and um, I

1857
01:44:56,600 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 1: come across old keepsakes, things that I picked up abroad.

1858
01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:04,960
Speaker 1: Um when I was in the C I a pick

1859
01:45:05,040 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 1: up things from my time working for the n y

1860
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:10,960
Speaker 1: p D. You know, just the things that you get

1861
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 1: when you're in a in a marketplace or you're in

1862
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:15,880
Speaker 1: a foreign country and you're like, oh, this will be

1863
01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:18,479
Speaker 1: a fun thing to bring home, and you know, like,

1864
01:45:18,880 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 1: how many It's a fair question to ask, right, how

1865
01:45:21,040 --> 01:45:26,080
Speaker 1: many curved daggers and various tribal knives can someone really

1866
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:28,519
Speaker 1: pick up before they have enough of them? I mean,

1867
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:30,880
Speaker 1: these are the things that when you move you start

1868
01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:35,560
Speaker 1: to think about. Um. I also found old photographs. I

1869
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:37,559
Speaker 1: think it's kind of funny. Maybe some of them will

1870
01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:41,680
Speaker 1: actually take and put on take I guess take a

1871
01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 1: photo of the photograph now with my phone the easiest

1872
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 1: way to do it, and post them because who takes

1873
01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:49,640
Speaker 1: photographs anymore? And I was in a store and I

1874
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:53,640
Speaker 1: was getting some of the things, uh that you know

1875
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:55,720
Speaker 1: you need when you're you're moving and getting into a

1876
01:45:56,479 --> 01:46:00,200
Speaker 1: packing tape and boxes, and they were selling pick sure

1877
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:01,760
Speaker 1: frames and I was like, I gotta think that the

1878
01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:04,920
Speaker 1: picture frame businesses been under a lot of pressure. And

1879
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:07,240
Speaker 1: since we all carry around photos with us all the

1880
01:46:07,320 --> 01:46:10,720
Speaker 1: time and we're we're documenting our lives in a way

1881
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:14,719
Speaker 1: that well, twenty years ago, nobody really could have dreamed

1882
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:16,519
Speaker 1: of or thought would be where it is now. I mean,

1883
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:19,960
Speaker 1: between all the social media platforms, you can see now

1884
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 1: that people's lives exist in this digital realm, whereas in

1885
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:26,160
Speaker 1: the past, if you had a really great photo. You

1886
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:28,720
Speaker 1: know that there was something if you've got a great

1887
01:46:28,760 --> 01:46:31,519
Speaker 1: family photo, it was it was like its own little

1888
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:34,280
Speaker 1: personal piece of art. You really cherish it. I feel

1889
01:46:34,320 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 1: like now everyone's taking such great photos all the time

1890
01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:43,400
Speaker 1: because we've got photographic equipment and display display capability ourselves,

1891
01:46:43,439 --> 01:46:45,160
Speaker 1: and and I just thought it was kind of funny.

1892
01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:46,720
Speaker 1: I was like, so, I guess maybe I could get

1893
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:49,560
Speaker 1: a picture frame and blow up a photo just to

1894
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:52,360
Speaker 1: have one in my home. I don't, I think, I

1895
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:55,760
Speaker 1: don't even I might have two or two or three

1896
01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:59,720
Speaker 1: photos that I have up somewhere framed. Uh. You know.

1897
01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:02,519
Speaker 1: The other are things I'm just coming to, coming across

1898
01:47:04,439 --> 01:47:08,200
Speaker 1: the various iterations of Apple products. I stashed them in

1899
01:47:08,280 --> 01:47:10,840
Speaker 1: this drawer and I was going through it, and I

1900
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:15,680
Speaker 1: remember getting an iPod and it was the coolest, and

1901
01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 1: I don't have the I wish I did. They now

1902
01:47:18,080 --> 01:47:20,200
Speaker 1: go for a lot of money on eBay. Actually, I

1903
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:23,799
Speaker 1: don't know if it's for nostalgia purposes or it's because

1904
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:28,160
Speaker 1: people just really uh like having what is effectively a

1905
01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:31,839
Speaker 1: hard drive exclusively for music, which is what the original iPod,

1906
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:34,519
Speaker 1: you know, the little wheel on it and everything. I

1907
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:35,960
Speaker 1: think those go for real. They go for like a

1908
01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:38,680
Speaker 1: thousand box maybe more on on eBay. But I I

1909
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:42,519
Speaker 1: had the iPod shuffle, which was a tiny little thing

1910
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:44,120
Speaker 1: that I clipped onto my belt, and I found one

1911
01:47:44,160 --> 01:47:46,000
Speaker 1: of those, and I remember going to the gym and

1912
01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:49,320
Speaker 1: I thought that was so so cool. Um and it

1913
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:50,680
Speaker 1: was I was like, I'm gonna be using this for

1914
01:47:50,680 --> 01:47:52,720
Speaker 1: the rest of my life, you know. Now on the

1915
01:47:53,520 --> 01:47:56,200
Speaker 1: unfortunately these days increasingly rare occasion that I get to

1916
01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:58,400
Speaker 1: the gym. I was really good for a while, but

1917
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:01,519
Speaker 1: I've I've fallen off in the last months or so. Uh.

1918
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't listen to music anymore. Actually, I actually like

1919
01:48:05,040 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 1: the If I had my way, I might even sure

1920
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:08,800
Speaker 1: there'd be any music onto the gym. I would just

1921
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:12,360
Speaker 1: have like quiet. Yeah. I know they're looking at me

1922
01:48:12,439 --> 01:48:14,160
Speaker 1: like I'm weird. You can say that's weird. Yeah, I

1923
01:48:14,200 --> 01:48:15,920
Speaker 1: know that's a little weird, right, but it's a little

1924
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:18,880
Speaker 1: zen and trunk whatever. Fine, I agree that's weird. But

1925
01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 1: the music they play in the gym, I go, dude,

1926
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:22,600
Speaker 1: it's like the same CD and I've just heard it

1927
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:25,519
Speaker 1: all so many times and it's not good. Um. Oh.

1928
01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:28,559
Speaker 1: And of course there's like little pieces of exercise equipment

1929
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:30,360
Speaker 1: that I've picked up over the years. And when I

1930
01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:33,920
Speaker 1: mean little, I mean things that you squeeze for wrist strength, like, yeah,

1931
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:35,959
Speaker 1: that's gonna give me a six pack if I squeeze

1932
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:40,400
Speaker 1: this little thing enough, that's you know, grip strengthener. And

1933
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:43,280
Speaker 1: trying to think of some other fun you know, stretch

1934
01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:46,000
Speaker 1: I've got. I found some stretch bands. I've used those never.

1935
01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 1: And you don't know about these things. You don't think

1936
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:50,760
Speaker 1: about it until you move, and then all of a

1937
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:53,400
Speaker 1: sudden you're like where, where where did I How late

1938
01:48:53,439 --> 01:48:56,759
Speaker 1: at night was it? And how many rounds of tequila

1939
01:48:56,840 --> 01:48:58,000
Speaker 1: had I had when I thought it was a good

1940
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:00,360
Speaker 1: idea to buy, like that thing that's supposed to give me,

1941
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:02,640
Speaker 1: you know, six minute abs or whatever. Look, we've all

1942
01:49:02,720 --> 01:49:04,679
Speaker 1: been there. There's a reason why those guys make millions

1943
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:08,160
Speaker 1: of dollars on those ridiculous infomercials where they're like, yes,

1944
01:49:08,280 --> 01:49:10,040
Speaker 1: like you two will be a fitness model if you

1945
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:12,920
Speaker 1: just buy this piece of plastic made in Taiwan that

1946
01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 1: doesn't really do anything. Um, but anyway, I've gone through

1947
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:19,400
Speaker 1: some of those, and also of course, you know you see, uh,

1948
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm at the age now where I have clothing that

1949
01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:26,200
Speaker 1: is so old that it really is now a question

1950
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:28,280
Speaker 1: is it Is it going to come back into fashion?

1951
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:30,680
Speaker 1: And like it was kind of cool maybe ten years ago,

1952
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:32,519
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, do I hold onto this? You know,

1953
01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:35,040
Speaker 1: will there ever be a time again we're wearing two

1954
01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 1: polo shots and pop two polo shirts rather and popping

1955
01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 1: both the collars. Will that be cool again? And I

1956
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:42,720
Speaker 1: think producer Amy is telling me the answer is no,

1957
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,280
Speaker 1: that is unlikely to be cool. And I think, actually

1958
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,320
Speaker 1: it was never cool, is what I'm being told. Okay,

1959
01:49:47,439 --> 01:49:51,200
Speaker 1: good talk, good talk. But maybe maybe you know, maybe

1960
01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:53,400
Speaker 1: shambre shirts will make it come back, you know, you
