WEBVTT - Brett Winterble joins the Freedom Hut

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>And I am a woman for Buck Sexton today. I'm

0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:05.560
<v Speaker 1>happy to be spending this time with you. The phone

0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>number to be a part of the conversation eight four

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:10.959
<v Speaker 1>for nine hundred buck, eight four for nine hundred two

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>eight two five. Normally you hear me in San Diego

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and seven sixty KF and B. You also see my

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>daily TV show if you want to, if you want

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to check it out on Newsmax TV. And that's on,

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>by the way, ten o'clock Eastern time for two hours

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>every morning, money through Friday. So look, the big story

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>obviously continues to be for whatever reason, this saga involving

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 1>the Muller Report, Can we just establish the fact that

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>right out of the box, right out of the box,

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>there's no collusion with the Russians, which was the point

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:43.599
<v Speaker 1>of the entire investigation. I know, I know, people are

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 1>bombed out about the fact that we were supposed to

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 1>get collusion. We were promised collusion. If we wanted our collusion,

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>we could keep our collusion. We'd even save twenty five

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks a year, just to borrow a little phrase

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>from the Obama years. And I get it, people, I'd

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 1>be bummed out too. I mean, It's a what's a

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>bigger bomber right now in America? If you're a progressive

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>liberal who watches MSNBC and collusion news over at the end,

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and is it watching that or is it watching the

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Game of Thrones thing from last night? I don't know.

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Only you could tell me that one. But the reality

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>is they were promised collusion. The people who were invested

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>heavily in drama were promised that there would be collusion

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.199
<v Speaker 1>at the conclusion of this illusion. But it didn't happen,

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and they are mad, I mean mad, furious, angry. Remember

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the folks who after the two thousand and one election

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.559
<v Speaker 1>and then the two thousand and four election that saw

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the defeat alternately of Al Gore and Joe Lieberman in

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and then of course the election in two

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>thousand and four Kerry Edwards, And do you remember how

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>they would drive around with their Kerry Edwards bumper stickers

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>on the back of their cars and they would pretend,

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>by watching shows like The West Wing that somehow still

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>progressives won that election. There's no safe harbor now for

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>these folks. They have become enraged to such a degree

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>that if you were to put a piece of cold

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>in their hands. You'd have a diamond by dinner time

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>if you did it at noon. It's a remarkable thing

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:13.519
<v Speaker 1>to see how these people were invested in this mythology.

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>So now we have phase two of the delusion. Phase

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 1>one was the expected Muller Report. Remember you would watch

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>these chat shows and you'd get the same thing over

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and over again. Oh, there's gonna be secret information that

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>only Bob Muller knows, that's gonna be found out. Look,

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>the reality is, and you know as well as I

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>do when you look at the cast of characters who

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>are around that original investigation, Your Brennan's and your clappers,

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>your strucks and your pages, your oars and your ores,

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>those folks, those folks were all a bunch of sad

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 1>sack bad folk, including McCabe and Comey at all people. Look,

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Robert Muller left the position of FBI director back once

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>upon a time in the year what was it, twenty thirteen?

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>So he leaves in twenty thirteen, they hand the command

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 1>over to Jim Comey, who takes over the FBI. And

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>then when Hillary Clinton is defeated in twenty sixteen, in

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen, Bob Muller took over as the special counsel, right,

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>not an independent council of special council working for the

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Department of just Us. That's what it was under the

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Obama team. It was the Department of just Us. So

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>you had Muller coming in there, and he knows full

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>well when he goes walking in that who the gold

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>bricks are, who the bad folks are, who the lazy

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>bums are, Who the people are not doing the people's

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>business are inside that organization. He knows exactly who it

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>is that's not getting the job done. So all he

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>has to do is go through the three h two

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>is go through the paperwork, and I'd bet you inside

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of three weeks, Bob Muller knew that if strucks involved,

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>if pages involved, if any of those people are involved,

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>it's all a scam. These are bad people. These are

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>not professional people who are delivering the goods. He knew it.

0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>He's looking at the names, He's like, Oh, that guy,

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I remember that guy. I remember what happen in Panama City,

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Florida with that guy. I remember what happened with that

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>guy in Paris. I know what happened with that guy

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>in Hackensack, New Jersey. These are all bad people. None

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>of these people able to put together a case. So

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 1>they set up the Trump team, right, you put in spies,

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you do all that sort of stuff. Well, well pause

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>right there, because Mueller comes out with his report, and

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>suddenly the narrative isn't Mueller's report. It's what Bill Barr

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>said about Muller's report. It's Bill Barr wrote a letter.

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>And it wasn't a complete letter. It was a summary.

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>It was a book report. If you do four pages

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>of a book report on Moby Dick, at the end

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>of that book report, you're not are you going to

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>really have somebody say, well, you didn't go off into

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the into the meal plans there of the folks on

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>that ship going after the Great White Well, no, you're

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>summarizing high points. And the highest of the high points

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>was there wasn't any collusion that's not been disputed. That

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been disputed. There's no evidence of collusion that hasn't

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>been disputed. What do you have? You have a volume

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>two that Bucks talked about, everybody else has talked about

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>when they come on the programs and they say listen,

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.919
<v Speaker 1>the volume two is one through twelve one through twelve

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 1>of a wish list of how it is Bob Muller

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.119
<v Speaker 1>would have gone about impeaching Donald Trump if he could

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>with obstruction of justice. So what happens, Well, the Democrats

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 1>come out, they're made to look feckless, they're made to

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.840
<v Speaker 1>look very beta, and they're not getting it done. And

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 1>they come out and they declare, now we have to

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>get all the underlying paperwork for this investigation, because now

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>we don't even know if Bob Muller was allowed to

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>complete his work. No, no, no, he was allowed to

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>complete his work. He completed his work, him and his

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 1>team completed the work, a million and a half pages

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:51.359
<v Speaker 1>of documents. They did it, It got done, the report

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>was filed. It's now out there, and so what do

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>we have. Well, now we have to talk to Don McGann.

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Don McGann, the White House counsel. Don McGann is the

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>guy who says, you know, maybe maybe i'll talk, maybe

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll won't talk. Well, the White House comes out and says,

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>he ain't talking. He's a private citizen. But we're invoking

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>executive privilege. And we're done, and we're out of here,

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and we're finished, and it's over and it's that simple,

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and that's not acceptable. And that's why now today you've

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.600
<v Speaker 1>got the usual suspects on the House Judiciary Committee. You're

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Nadler's, you're David Cicillini's from Rhode Island, those folks

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>who are coming out saying this looks like if Don

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 1>McGann doesn't talk, we may need to open an impeachment inquiry.

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:35.919
<v Speaker 1>That's just in the last half hour, Just in the

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>last half hour, Cicellini from Rhode Island comes out and

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>he says, well, we may need to open an impeachment inquiry.

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>And in fact, folks, it might be a bipartisan impeachment inquiry.

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh gosh, what Republican is possibly going along with that?

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Justin Ahmash, the Great Hope of Michigan, Justin Amosh, he

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>comes out over the weekend and says, I have read

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.479
<v Speaker 1>the reports, the unredacted, the stuff that's posted. I have

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.359
<v Speaker 1>read it all, and I have concluded there may be

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>impeachable offenses here for President Trump. No, there there aren't,

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>see because we were told, we were told long time ago,

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be about collusion, It's gonna be about Russians.

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Sitting down and cutting deals. That the President sat down

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>over a plate of Rudy Tuty Freshman fruities there in

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.880
<v Speaker 1>the Saint Petersburg Denny's, and he said to to then

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>President Trump, to then President A. Putin, look, I'm gonna

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>throw the election, and then i'm gonna win the election,

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and then you're gonna help me out. And she's gonna

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>lose and I'm gonna win, and then I'm gonna owe you,

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be great. Why it's as if President

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Trump practically promised to be more flexible after the election.

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, that was sorry, that was President Obama

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 1>talking talking to to Putin's vice president. Then back once

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>upon a time. Okay, so there's no collusion, and we're

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>down to just people staking out their territory. People just

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>staking out their their political positions. And we don't know

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>how this is going to end up, but I can

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>make a prediction. The prediction is the American people are

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>looking at their watches. The American people are feeling awfully

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>let down and bored by this whole affair. How bad

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>is it. You're not even seeing Democratic candidates for president

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>talk about this investigation. They're not talking about it anymore.

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>They don't talk about impeachment. They know this is a

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>waste of time. Even the Democrats running for president. No,

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 1>this is a waste of time. This is twenty sixteen

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 1>that we're still stuck, admired, and we got to move on.

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 1>The American people are ready to move on. We're living

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>in a Postmuller, post Game of Thrones world now. And

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>as much as these folks want to complain and they

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>want to have a fit, and they want to do

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff, it's not going to change the outcome.

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 1>They came on television for two two and a half

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>years and they said President Trump was a trader, and

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>he's committed treason, and he has helped our enemies. And

0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the reality is there's no there there. So if you'd

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 1>like to send a message to Justin Amage, or if

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>you'd like to send a message to David Cicillini, the

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.679
<v Speaker 1>leaders in the Democratic Party, the candidates who are out

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>there marching around, feel free to pick up the phone,

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.160

<v Speaker 1>street from the White House at the Capitol. Let them

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 1>know it's time to move on, or perhaps you think

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:31.959
<v Speaker 1>it's time to continue. We'll put you at the front

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>of the line. I'm Brett winter Ball, sitting in for

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton. It's the Buck Sexton show right here back

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>after this, it is the Buck Sexton Show. Great to

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>be spending this time with you, Brett Winterball, sitting in

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 1>for Buck, keeping you company. This tweet just coming in

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 1>from Adam Shift. You know I'm here in California. I'm

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>behind the Great Blue Wall, the Great Blue Curtain, and

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.559
<v Speaker 1>this tweet coming in from Adam Shift. Just in the

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.959
<v Speaker 1>last couple of hours, Tromp ordered Don McGann not to

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>testify before the American people. Duplicitous as ever, The White

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>House says Dems don't get to do over, ignoring the

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 1>fact that the Muller report contemplated Congress picking up where

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>he left off. The cover up continues, and we will

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>fight and whatever. Adam, you know what, why don't you

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>just throw your hat in the ring and run for president.

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I've had I've about had peak. I'm at peak, Adam

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Schiff right now, I really am, and this is getting

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>this is getting absurd. Y'all did the investigation and you

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't find anything, So I mean, why why are we

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 1>still going down this road? Think about it. It's as

0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>if the president's being forced to prove a negative that

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>he didn't obstruct, that he didn't do this, or this

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.079
<v Speaker 1>is just this is crazy time, and it's good because

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.479
<v Speaker 1>the American people have had it. Nobody wants to do impeachment.

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 1>You guys want to do impeachment. Actually, you're worse than

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>wanting to do it. I would have more respect for

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 1>you if you wanted to do impeachment. What you want

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>is to look like you're doing impeachment so that the

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>kooks in your base like Tom Steyer and company are

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>given a salve. That's what it is, right, Oh, it's okay.

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to do impeachment. They just can't do it. Look.

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I have really come around to liking Bill Barr, the

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General, and Sadie German's got a piece over in

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the Wall Street Journal just in the last hour or so,

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>and the title on the piece is this Barr under

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>fire says he's fighting for the presidency, not Trump. They

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>keep saying he's Donald Trump's Roy Cohen, He's Donald Trump's

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 1>house lawyer. No he's not, No he's not. William Barr's

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.199
<v Speaker 1>come under criticism from Democrats and some Republicans who say

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>he's acting more like the president's personal lawyer than the

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>nation's top law enforcement officer. But mister Barr, who has

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.199
<v Speaker 1>a private citizen once upon a time, bristled at the

0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 1>barrage of legal and other challenges mister Trump faced during

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>his first two years in office, says his long held

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>belief in executive power is more about protecting the presidency

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>than the current office holder. I felt that the rules

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>were being changed to hurt Trump, and I thought it

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 1>was damaging for the presidency in the long haul. What

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 1>do we keep hearing, Oh, President Trump's got these he's

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:14.839
<v Speaker 1>got authoritarian inclinations, He's got he's got these these authoritarian

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 1>ways that are no good. He has been under assault

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>for two years. Think about what's been done for the

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>last two years under assault. It's absurd what we're looking at.

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 1>And for these these people to come out and and say, well,

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, we gotta keep keep investigating. The truth is

0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>out there somewhere. This president is more right than people

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 1>realize when he talks about this being a witch hunt,

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 1>because if you ever take a trip over to Plymouth colony,

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>they're not Plymouth, I'm sorry, to Salem in Massachusetts. And

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 1>you go read the history and you look at the

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.319
<v Speaker 1>history of the hysteria that was the original witch hunts

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 1>there in Salem. You'll see it was the creation of

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 1>a couple of children who made up a story about

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:06.079
<v Speaker 1>a couple of people, and mania struck that colony. Mania

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 1>struct that colony. You got to a place where people

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 1>were forced to either admit they were witches or name

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>another witch. And isn't that how Muller kind of ran

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 1>his investigation. Oh did you collude? Know? But then who colluded? Well,

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.960
<v Speaker 1>that person might have colluded. That person might have colluded,

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>that person might have colluded. There's no collusion. I'm gonna

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 1>say one thing about this that I think is important

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 1>and gets overlooked a lot. Look at President Trump. Strip

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>away all the politics. Just look at President Trump as

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 1>an individual. You're gonna tell me that that personality, that

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that individuals as a man, not as the president, but

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.439
<v Speaker 1>as a man, is going to let little five foot

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 1>five lad Putin could control him like with Marionette. Like

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a marionette, you think, you really think that that's a

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 1>man who's going to do that. Of course not. It

0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't run according to type. Anybody who works and intelligence

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 1>understands when you are doing an intelligence profile, you are

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 1>going to look at the strengths and the weaknesses of

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the person you're looking at. You're going to try to

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>figure out what motivates them, what drives them. You're going

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 1>to tell me that President Trump is going to be

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 1>comfortable going to bed at night knowing that that Vladimir

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Putin's got the tricks. No way, it just doesn't work. Now,

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 1>progressives might model that as what they think is that

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>sort of behavior because progressives now they're kind of comfortable

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>with getting run by the old Soviet Union, right, the

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>old Soviet Republic. Look at look at Bernie Sanders for example.

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>But it is a remarkable thing. These socialists on the

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 1>left hate hate when socialisms kind of cast aside. Over

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the weekend, great speech given by Robert Smith, who is

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 1>an entrepreneur and a multi billionaire. He also happens to

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 1>be African American. That's right, He's a black billionaire worth

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 1>more than Oprah Winfrey. By the way, just to give

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 1>you kind of an idea of where he lands. He's

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>done a lot of inv spence, a lot of successful

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>VC and things like that, and and and helped enrich

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. So there he is at Morehouse

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 1>College and he's speaking at the commencement, and what is

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 1>he doing. He's speaking to those graduates, and in an unscripted,

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>totally genuine moment, he declares, I'm going to pay your

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>outstanding student loan debt and your room and board debt.

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to help you pay it off. I'm gonna

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 1>pay it for you, guys. That wasn't even written in

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the script, that wasn't in the teleprompter. He just made

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>that announcement as a concerned human being, as an American,

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 1>and as somebody who wanted to give these kids a

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 1>leg up. He had been so inspired as a young

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>man with his parents going to the very famous MLK

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>junior speech, I have a dream, and he was so

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>motivated to want to help out the next generation that

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>out of the kindness of his heart, he made the

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 1>decision that he would forgive that debt on behalf of

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>those students, whatever it's going to cost twenty thirty forty

0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 1>million dollars, whatever that money is, whatever that money, as

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 1>he's helping that next generation. And who right on Q

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 1>earlier today, comes out on the Twitter machine and takes

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>a big swing at this man, at Robert Smith and says,

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 1>we don't all have billionaires to help pay our student loans.

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 1>That's right, your favorite congresswoman from Queens AOC complaining that

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 1>this billionaire stepped up with his own money and took

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 1>care of the debt of these students just starting out

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>in life with one proviso, by the way, with one

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 1>proviso that they pay it forward down the road, that

0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 1>they pay it forward down the road. So you have

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 1>this amazing act of charity, free will given to help

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>these kids out on this new road. And we've all

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>been there. If you graduated college in any debt, you

0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 1>know that's certainly a concern as you start your life.

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 1>It affects the sort of jobs you take, whether or

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>not you could do graduate studies, anything like that. And

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.400
<v Speaker 1>he does a fundamentally great thing. And what happens. Socialists

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.200
<v Speaker 1>they don't like that because they don't like when it's

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 1>private money. They don't like when it's personal money. They

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.960
<v Speaker 1>don't like when it's a free will donation to help

0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 1>people out, because there's there's role there for government. These

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 1>people that view the wealthy and the successful, whether it's

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Robert Smith, whether it's President Trump, whether it's anybody else

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 1>as the enemy, as the enemy, do not understand that

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.240
<v Speaker 1>the vast majority of people in this country, they don't

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.920
<v Speaker 1>hate rich people. They want to be rich people. They

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>admire rich people. They might sometimes covet the things that

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 1>rich people have, but people buy in large. They don't

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 1>hate wealthy people. That is something that has to be taught.

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 1>A child doesn't grow up saying I'm such a happy

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 1>a little four year old, except I hate that rich

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 1>guy that mister moneybags is No. You have to teach

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:53.199
<v Speaker 1>that kind of division. You have to push that. And

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:54.879
<v Speaker 1>I think that's at the basis for a lot of

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.679
<v Speaker 1>these folks who are angry that President Trump comes in,

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.280
<v Speaker 1>busts out the old order, and is successful in his

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 1>first run at any kind of elected office. He gets

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.440
<v Speaker 1>elected to the presidency, so of course it's got to

0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 1>be that he cheated. It's got to be that he

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.399
<v Speaker 1>stole it up. Unbelievable, right, our phones were open at

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.439
<v Speaker 1>eight four four nine hundred buck eight four four nine

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 1>two eight two five on Brett Whatterville sitting in for

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 1>buck Sexton. It's the buck Sexton Show back after this.

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:23.679
<v Speaker 1>In some important ways, my generation has failed you in

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 1>this regard. We spent too much time debating. We've been

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>too focused on the fight and not focused enough on progress.

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 1>And you don't need to look far to find an

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:43.280
<v Speaker 1>example of that failure here today, in this very place,

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.840
<v Speaker 1>in an arena where thousands once found desperate shelter from

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 1>one hundred year disaster, the kind that seemed to be

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 1>happening more and more frequently. I don't think we can

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about who we are as people and what we

0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 1>owe to one another without talking about climate change. At

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:10.200
<v Speaker 1>is Tim Cook speaking at the commencement ceremonies at Tulane? Yeah,

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Tim Cook, I noticed didn't need n't pay off anybody's

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.600
<v Speaker 1>student loads at Tulane. But nevertheless, I know that was

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.520
<v Speaker 1>a very special offer by Robert Smith over at Morehouse.

0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:23.000
<v Speaker 1>But Tim Cook, we have failed this generation. We have

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:27.360
<v Speaker 1>failed the generation that is supposed to and it's the

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.439
<v Speaker 1>climate change is no no, no, no no, no, no no no. Listen,

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe there's such a thing as generational failure

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.159
<v Speaker 1>because I don't believe in collective punishment. And so for

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:40.359
<v Speaker 1>Tim Cook to sit there and super virtue signal by saying,

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 1>this is the Superdome where people once I found shelter

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 1>from Hurricane Katrina. Right, that's what he's saying, And where

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 1>once upon a time there was a blown call in

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 1>an NFC championship. Oh never mind, but we failed you

0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:58.960
<v Speaker 1>as a generation. No generations can neither breed success or

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:02.120
<v Speaker 1>failure for anybody. Sure, we give credit to the World

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 1>War two generation, the greatest generation, and we should. We

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.920
<v Speaker 1>ought to uphold them and celebrate them for defending us

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 1>against the darkest tyranny seen since the Dark Ages. We

0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 1>absolutely owe them something that all they did was save

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 1>civilization as we knew it. But a generational failure, I'm

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.919
<v Speaker 1>not buying that. That feels awfully. AOC like that feels awfully.

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.439
<v Speaker 1>We only have twelve years to live awfully. You know

0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.240
<v Speaker 1>what have you? Because there are people who get up

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 1>and work every day and fight for what is right

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:35.879
<v Speaker 1>in this country and fight for what is right in

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:39.199
<v Speaker 1>the world, and they have nothing but the best of

0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 1>intentions coming from them. Okay, and that's important but because

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:45.399
<v Speaker 1>what you didn't solve the climate change issue, it's a

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:49.679
<v Speaker 1>generational failure. What I would argue is this, there's a

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 1>generational failure in that there was a generation of people

0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:59.880
<v Speaker 1>programmed to fail. Let's be honest about that. I don't

0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:02.119
<v Speaker 1>think the generation is responsible for it, but I do

0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 1>think starting in nineteen sixty five with the Great Society,

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you had an all out assault by progressive liberal ideas

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:14.800
<v Speaker 1>pushed by LBJU to destroy the communities of color in

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:21.440
<v Speaker 1>this country by replacing personal responsibility and personal um self

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:26.160
<v Speaker 1>reliance with the government with handouts and payouts and checking

0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:28.359
<v Speaker 1>it checks and that sort of something. And that is

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:34.640
<v Speaker 1>wrong because dependency has got to be created, it has

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.640
<v Speaker 1>got to be sold, and it has got to be

0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:41.640
<v Speaker 1>repeated time and time again. Because that's why government's relevant.

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 1>In the abstract. Think about the things government can do.

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 1>They can take all of your possessions. They can put

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.600
<v Speaker 1>you in prison, a government can can seize your property.

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 1>A government can can take your freedom from you. But

0:21:56.600 --> 0:22:01.160
<v Speaker 1>can government make you free? No? Can government make you wealthy? Well,

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 1>unless you're a Clinton or Biden, probably not. Government can't

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:10.399
<v Speaker 1>do those things. Government hasn't ever invented a brand new,

0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 1>amazing technology. I know DARPA in the Internet. That's fine,

0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:18.040
<v Speaker 1>but for years that wasn't anything productive or profitable until

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.720
<v Speaker 1>the private sector got involved with that. While it was

0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:27.159
<v Speaker 1>just a university and military experiment, it was interesting, it

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:30.920
<v Speaker 1>was kind of cool, but there was no monetization there.

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>There was no economic growth coming from that. Government can

0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:43.760
<v Speaker 1>do nothing but destroy value and destroy your freedom. You know,

0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 1>we think back to the prior administration and you think

0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:52.920
<v Speaker 1>back to President Obama and Vice President Biden and the

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 1>idea that they may have wire tapped a presidential candidate

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.120
<v Speaker 1>in President Trump, that they may have surveiled and use spies.

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 1>That's really bad, but it was consistently carried out across

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:08.159
<v Speaker 1>the eight years of that administration that we saw abuses

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>when it came to freedoms and liberties. You want examples,

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 1>fast and furious trying to paint with a broad brush

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and condemn the millions of legal gun owners behaving responsibly

0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:23.680
<v Speaker 1>in our country in the hopes of having a predicate

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:27.280
<v Speaker 1>to go out and hem in your Second Amendment rights.

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:30.639
<v Speaker 1>So what do they do. They set up a scheme

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:34.119
<v Speaker 1>by which drug cartels and their trigger men can come

0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:38.840
<v Speaker 1>across the border into border cities and purchase massive amounts

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:42.560
<v Speaker 1>of firearms to then take back into Mexico, resulting in

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:45.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe twenty five hundred three AK forty seven's going onto

0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the streets of Mexico and as many as three thousand

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:51.040
<v Speaker 1>people losing their lives. That's the same number plus or

0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:55.639
<v Speaker 1>minus that you had on nine to eleven. Eric Holder

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:58.360
<v Speaker 1>was never accountable for that. Hillary Clinton, who was Secretary

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:01.439
<v Speaker 1>of State in Janetapolitano ahead of HS, never held accountable

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 1>for that. When you try to have an investigation into

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the actual transshipment of firearms into Mexico and the hands

0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:10.400
<v Speaker 1>of drug cartels, effectively making the Obama administration on par

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:15.120
<v Speaker 1>with Pakistan for smuggling weapons into the Taliban's hands there

0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 1>in the theater and Afghanistan. When you have that investigation,

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:21.080
<v Speaker 1>get you get shut down, you get stonewalled. You have

0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the death of an American Border Patrol agent, Brian Terry,

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:28.280
<v Speaker 1>at the hands of those trigger men with those firearms

0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:33.760
<v Speaker 1>on American soil. Nobody's sell to account. Nobody's selled to account.

0:24:35.240 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 1>When you have the Tea Party investigations by the IRS

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.479
<v Speaker 1>and you see what happens there, when you speak up,

0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:45.080
<v Speaker 1>speak out, because of something you believe in in terms

0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 1>of not wanting to spend money, in terms of not

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:51.119
<v Speaker 1>wanting to do the porculus and the stimulus and the bailouts,

0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:53.360
<v Speaker 1>in terms of not wanting to do Obamacare, you become

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:59.399
<v Speaker 1>public enemy NUMEROUNA. Is that not scandalous? It is so

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 1>scann this in fact, and so devastating in fact that

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.680
<v Speaker 1>to this day Lowest Learner and Holly Paz, the two

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 1>senior people in the IRS that were responsible for reducing

0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:13.240
<v Speaker 1>your right to free speech at the hands of the

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:18.479
<v Speaker 1>tax authority, have to this day begged a federal judge

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 1>to keep their testimony secret for fear of angering people

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:28.000
<v Speaker 1>who would find out the truth about what was done

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:38.160
<v Speaker 1>with that government power. That's abuse. That's abuse, and that

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:40.359
<v Speaker 1>was the great hope of the Obama mistress right coming

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:46.040
<v Speaker 1>in changing everything up, moving it all. No. No, So

0:25:46.680 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 1>when you have government being sold to you like it's

0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:53.600
<v Speaker 1>a happy puppy just running around the room and kissing

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you and barking at you and all that, you've got

0:25:55.600 --> 0:25:59.200
<v Speaker 1>to think of that puppy as that giant snarling dog,

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>that giant nuclear's snarling dog from Chernobyl that can kill

0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 1>you in one bite. That's the lovable little puppy that

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:15.240
<v Speaker 1>grows up from government as a tiny institution of this big,

0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:18.719
<v Speaker 1>overreaching institution, where you can actually have the Internal Revenue

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Service not any longer so interested in internal revenue, but

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:32.560
<v Speaker 1>in operating like an internal security force, an interior ministry.

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Remember the clip, the sound bite from two thousand and

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:41.400
<v Speaker 1>eight when President Obama, then candidate Obama, a senator from Illinois,

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:44.879
<v Speaker 1>was talking about the need for a domestic security force

0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:50.920
<v Speaker 1>on par with the United States military. This is what happens.

0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 1>So when Tim Cook comes out and says, oh, I'm

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:57.399
<v Speaker 1>so very sorry that we failed you on climate No, no, no, no, no,

0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you should be more upset about the failure to control spending,

0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the failure to reign in dependency. No, not to reign

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:10.800
<v Speaker 1>an independence, to reign in comma dependency, comma. That's what

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:14.600
<v Speaker 1>should be you should be sorry about. Because at the

0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:19.160
<v Speaker 1>end of this discussion, every person needs to ask whether

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 1>or not they are doing better for government being involved

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 1>or doing worse for government being involved. That's the only

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.400
<v Speaker 1>question that has to be answered, that's the only reality

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:32.440
<v Speaker 1>that has to be addressed. Does this government program aid

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:38.360
<v Speaker 1>or does this government program harm your efforts to be productive.

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Now you're going to be told by any number of

0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 1>people that the reason why young people can't succeed is

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:50.760
<v Speaker 1>all the student loan debt. The reason why young people

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:54.240
<v Speaker 1>can't succeed is because of this cause or that cause.

0:27:55.000 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 1>The reality is, you have a right as a human

0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:03.919
<v Speaker 1>being to life, liberty in the pursuit of happiness. But

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 1>what you do with those rights and responsibilities is your business,

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and if you choose to squander them, that's on you.

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:12.160
<v Speaker 1>We're not going to come and save you from yourself,

0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and you can't expect that. So when Tim Cook says

0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:17.879
<v Speaker 1>the generational failure here, no, no, no, I don't think

0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:22.359
<v Speaker 1>his generation failed anybody. I think the encroachment of government

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 1>hampered the development of a lot of people because at

0:28:25.840 --> 0:28:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, the smallest minority in the world,

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 1>and that group of people who have nobody lobbying for them,

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:41.760
<v Speaker 1>is the individual. There is no group, the National Association

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 1>of Individuals, the United Foundation for Individuals. You got libertarian politics,

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 1>but nobody advocates for the person, for the individual, And

0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 1>we got to re orient the way we think about

0:28:54.560 --> 0:29:00.280
<v Speaker 1>things eight four four nine hundred buck eight or for

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 1>nine hundred two eight two five to have your say,

0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm Brett Witterbill in for Buck Sexton. We'll take a break,

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:11.040
<v Speaker 1>we'll leave back right after this. Oh yes, it is

0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the Buck Sexton Show. Brett Whatterbille is sitting in for

0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton from behind the Blue curtain. Here in San Diego, California.

0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:19.760
<v Speaker 1>They call it America's Fight a City, and it is

0:29:19.800 --> 0:29:21.840
<v Speaker 1>for the most part. I mean, it's beautiful. You get,

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:23.800
<v Speaker 1>you get all four seasons in one day. I woke

0:29:23.880 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 1>up today it was forty five degrees in raining and

0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 1>now it's like eighty three and Sonny, It's just it's

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 1>one of those weird phenomenon that are that are happening

0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 1>here every now and then another phenomenon. Though it draws

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>to a close and full disclosure here, other than hearing

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:41.600
<v Speaker 1>people talk about it, I have no connection with Game

0:29:41.600 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 1>of Thrones. I'm not one of these people. I don't

0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:45.440
<v Speaker 1>make fun of people for liking Game of Thrones. People

0:29:45.480 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 1>like what they like. You like certain shows some people.

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I love Cobra Kai, I like the relaunch of the

0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Karate Kid. I like Bosh and Uh Jack Ryan. I

0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 1>watch a lot of different shows. I've just never been

0:29:56.840 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 1>like a sci fi fantasy guy. Again, I don't I

0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 1>don't fault anybody for that. It's great you have your passions,

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and Lord knows, in a world as nuts as we

0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 1>are in today, it's good to have distractions. It's good

0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:12.800
<v Speaker 1>to watch something else. So here at the end of

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:15.200
<v Speaker 1>the what was this the eighth season of Game of Thrones,

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the whole series finale. Folks have been nothing but bummed

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 1>out for the last six weeks, upset with the way

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:26.560
<v Speaker 1>this thing goes well. I guess over the course of time,

0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:29.520
<v Speaker 1>people have started watching the show from scratch who had

0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 1>never watched it in the past. And today on the View,

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I have to take you to the view because otherwise

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you probably didn't watch it. Here is a little back

0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:41.120
<v Speaker 1>and forth Megan McCain and Sunny Austin and Whoopie Goldberg

0:30:41.400 --> 0:30:44.440
<v Speaker 1>there on the View, and Megan makes a boo boo

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:48.280
<v Speaker 1>on that show. Roll that tape, Holly. We're at the

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:51.880
<v Speaker 1>end of a giant era of pop culture. Came to

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:54.680
<v Speaker 1>close last night with serious finale m Game of Thrones,

0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and this morning there are actual counselors you can reach

0:30:58.640 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 1>out to. Maybe you're having a hard time with it.

0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I spent eight years of my life watching this and

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:10.440
<v Speaker 1>it was a horrible ending. Horrible brand is the worst.

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Sorry that's a spoiler, but like he didn't do anything

0:31:12.520 --> 0:31:14.400
<v Speaker 1>and now he gets to rule. It should have been

0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the Mother of Dragons Megan. Oh, I'm sorry, sorry, I'm sorry,

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:29.720
<v Speaker 1>but all over the internet. I mean, that's just that's

0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 1>a that's a rough deal. I remember what a few

0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 1>weeks back when Avengers came out, there were people who

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:36.760
<v Speaker 1>were going to the theaters, um standing outside the lines

0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 1>when they would come out from the from the seeing

0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 1>of the movie, and they would they would yell out

0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 1>what the ending was, just to record for people lined up.

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 1>That's a good way to get yourself in a world

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 1>A hurt for sure. But here's the thing. Here's the thing.

0:31:48.240 --> 0:31:51.640
<v Speaker 1>This just goes to show you what compelling content can

0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:54.760
<v Speaker 1>do for anybody out there who wants to take a

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:57.320
<v Speaker 1>trip out of reality. And you know, everywhere else you

0:31:57.440 --> 0:32:01.680
<v Speaker 1>look right now is highly politicized. As one smart person

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:03.960
<v Speaker 1>that I know who watched Game of Thrones observed, and

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go with their observation. I liked their observation,

0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:09.800
<v Speaker 1>even though I don't totally connect with the show. But

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:14.480
<v Speaker 1>they said essentially that it was the ending was consistent

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>with the spirit of what has inspired the show all along,

0:32:18.960 --> 0:32:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the idea that the best wisest ruler is the one

0:32:21.040 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 1>who has a deep sense of history. A sure that

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:25.920
<v Speaker 1>sounds good to me, although that also could be an

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 1>argument in favor of the swamp. Couldn't it institutionalized history,

0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the one who most respects the institutions should be trusted

0:32:32.440 --> 0:32:35.640
<v Speaker 1>with presidency. M Wait a minute, hold on, I may

0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:38.360
<v Speaker 1>have just sprung a trap on myself here. I may

0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 1>have just sideways endorsed Joe Biden. After all, he's been

0:32:41.920 --> 0:32:45.720
<v Speaker 1>institutionalized since what like nineteen seventy one seventy two. When

0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>it comes to being a senator, I think he got

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 1>elected to the Senate before he was even legally able

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 1>to serve. Who would he be? I don't even you

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 1>know what. You couldn't even call me and tell me

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 1>which Game of Thrones, a king or dragon or whatever

0:32:57.720 --> 0:33:02.000
<v Speaker 1>he was, because I I would just acknowledge and would

0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 1>not along with you. But we're going to get into

0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:08.560
<v Speaker 1>this whole Biden conversation and just a couple of minutes,

0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:11.760
<v Speaker 1>because Joe Biden's out there on the campaign trail and

0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I will be darned if I can figure out what

0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it is. What's he running on? Like, what is the plan?

0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 1>And I get it. I talked to super smart people

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:23.360
<v Speaker 1>from inside the Beltway all the time over on the

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Newsmax TV show, my local show in San Diego. I

0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 1>get it. I talked to smart people all the time

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and they say things like, well, he's running a general

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 1>election campaign. Well that's fine, you can run a general

0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 1>election campaign, but what are you running on? What are

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 1>you going to do when you get elected? May repeat

0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the flavor of the month. May Repeat's been out there

0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:44.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about some specifics. He wants a wealth tax, he

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 1>wants to jack up your income tax, he wants social justice,

0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:50.800
<v Speaker 1>he wants all that kind of stuff. But what does

0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Biden want to me? It feels like if you were

0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:56.200
<v Speaker 1>disappointed at the outcome a game of Thrones, you may

0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 1>end up being disappointed if Joe Biden gets the nomination.

0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 1>And you're a Democrat. So I want to make it

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:05.480
<v Speaker 1>clear here, I'm an equal opportunity offender. I like talking

0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:07.600
<v Speaker 1>to conservatives, I like talking to liberals. And if you're

0:34:07.600 --> 0:34:09.719
<v Speaker 1>out there listening and you want to weigh in on

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 1>the presidential sweepstakes. We're gonna get into that in the

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:15.240
<v Speaker 1>next the segment of the program talking about Joe Biden

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:18.239
<v Speaker 1>talking about mayor Pete and all their big plans. But

0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I would love to know what it is that Biden's

0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 1>going to run on. It's very hard to run on

0:34:22.640 --> 0:34:26.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm not him. I'm not him. Doesn't work for the

0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 1>long term. It doesn't motivate people to the polls, especially

0:34:30.440 --> 0:34:34.200
<v Speaker 1>when they feel like they've got some money in their pocket.

0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 1>They're able to take a vacation, go try to park

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>at a shopping mall, go and try to try to

0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 1>get into a car dealership. They're all packed. People are

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:46.480
<v Speaker 1>spending money. Why because they're confident. For the first year

0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and a half two years, I think of the Trump administration,

0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 1>they were worried that rug was going to get pulled

0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:54.399
<v Speaker 1>out from underneath them. Now you've seen probably what four

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:56.840
<v Speaker 1>or five corrections in the stock market just in the

0:34:56.920 --> 0:34:59.640
<v Speaker 1>last little bit. People are not panicking. They're not running

0:34:59.640 --> 0:35:01.960
<v Speaker 1>for the EDG. Market will go down six hundred points

0:35:02.000 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 1>on Chinese tariffs, boom, It'll be back down sixty at

0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day. It's a buying opportunity. People

0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:09.239
<v Speaker 1>are feeling confident, and for Joe Biden to stand there

0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 1>on the steps at the Museum of Fine Arts in

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Philly and say he's the next new guy. I don't know,

0:35:16.480 --> 0:35:21.840
<v Speaker 1>stick around, don't go anywhere, to expending this time with

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you over the course in the next sixteen minutes, take

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:27.000
<v Speaker 1>you around the world, bring you back home again. All

0:35:27.040 --> 0:35:29.279
<v Speaker 1>the big information that's out there happening. I know that

0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 1>there is a there's a rally for President Trump in Montoursville,

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Pennsylvania happening. Pennsylvania has been a hot battleground obviously for

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the last number of elections, but it's almost always gone

0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:45.440
<v Speaker 1>to the Democrats. That changed this last election in twenty sixteen,

0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:49.360
<v Speaker 1>when President Trump was able to prevail all be it

0:35:49.440 --> 0:35:52.280
<v Speaker 1>by a slim margin. Well, now he has a favorite

0:35:52.320 --> 0:35:54.960
<v Speaker 1>son of Pennsylvania who's going to be taking him on,

0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:57.759
<v Speaker 1>and that is a Vice President Biden, who is out

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:04.279
<v Speaker 1>there busily seeking the nomination. Shouldn't the nomination, uh, you know,

0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:07.080
<v Speaker 1>for the presidency of the United States, And well, you know,

0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:09.399
<v Speaker 1>we'll see what happens. We'll see how it works. We'll

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:11.360
<v Speaker 1>see what happens, We'll see how he does. But this

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:14.440
<v Speaker 1>much is true. If Joe Biden is going to run

0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 1>to be president. Joe Biden desperately needs to decide what

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 1>it is he intends to do as president of the

0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:24.279
<v Speaker 1>United States. What's he going to do? What's the big plan?

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Vice President Biden, like, what are you? What are you going?

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:29.040
<v Speaker 1>You can't just come in and say I'm not going

0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:32.920
<v Speaker 1>to be that person. You know, you just watched You've

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:36.080
<v Speaker 1>watched a lot of professional sports just in the last

0:36:36.440 --> 0:36:39.520
<v Speaker 1>a few months. You've no doubt you saw the NFL Draft,

0:36:39.600 --> 0:36:42.000
<v Speaker 1>You've seen stuff like that. Those players come in and

0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:43.840
<v Speaker 1>they want to be difference makers, they want to be

0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:46.400
<v Speaker 1>change makers. These are not people are gonna come in

0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and say, well, I'm gonna do better than that guy.

0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna do this. But you've

0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:51.920
<v Speaker 1>got to be specific. What's your strength? What are you

0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:56.799
<v Speaker 1>selling to the American people? What are you selling? Well,

0:36:57.000 --> 0:37:00.480
<v Speaker 1>he says he's bringing civility, he says he is Vice

0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:04.520
<v Speaker 1>President Biden. He's bringing civility, He's bringing strength, he's bringing resolved,

0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:11.520
<v Speaker 1>he's bringing all that stuff, all that stuff, And you

0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:16.279
<v Speaker 1>know what's what's what's amazing about this is there's a

0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:19.760
<v Speaker 1>track record at stake right now, there is a track

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:23.600
<v Speaker 1>record at play, and the track record is the last

0:37:23.600 --> 0:37:28.240
<v Speaker 1>couple of years huge growth. Stocks are on fire, people

0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:32.400
<v Speaker 1>are feeling better. And that didn't happen because of the

0:37:32.400 --> 0:37:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Obama economy. I mean, I know that's a hot thing

0:37:35.120 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to sell. Well, it was only by you cutting taxes

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:44.680
<v Speaker 1>and cutting regulation and trying to gut Obamacare that you

0:37:44.719 --> 0:37:49.480
<v Speaker 1>were able to fully realize the American economy. Mister President Trump. Well, yeah,

0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:52.359
<v Speaker 1>that means doing everything that the Obama team didn't do.

0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:55.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what led to the economic growth that we have

0:37:55.200 --> 0:38:01.200
<v Speaker 1>seen unfold before our eyes. But here's the problem. Joe

0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Biden is a known quantity and he's been on the

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:07.240
<v Speaker 1>scene for a very long time. He is a person

0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:11.560
<v Speaker 1>who has been out there involved in the public discourse

0:38:12.680 --> 0:38:17.200
<v Speaker 1>for forty seven years, forty six years something like that.

0:38:17.239 --> 0:38:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Considered this. He was there when Nixon was president, he

0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:25.719
<v Speaker 1>was there when Clinton was president, and he is there

0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:30.399
<v Speaker 1>now out on the public scene with President Trump. We've

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 1>only had four shots and impeachment in history Johnson in

0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:42.359
<v Speaker 1>the eighteen hundreds, Clinton and Nixon, and now they want

0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to try to impeach President Trump. Joe Biden will have

0:38:45.040 --> 0:38:47.440
<v Speaker 1>been present for three out of the four attempts to impeach,

0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:52.160
<v Speaker 1>efforts to impeach, efforts to remove a president from office.

0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:55.760
<v Speaker 1>And he's not selling you any he's not offering you anything.

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.440
<v Speaker 1>He's just saying, I'm un Wow. Show me the guy

0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:02.920
<v Speaker 1>who's against unity and what do you mean by unity?

0:39:03.680 --> 0:39:09.239
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Pete boodhage Edge went on Fox News yesterday from

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:13.799
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire and was greeted at a town hall by

0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Chris Wallace. He's asked a number of questions. He came out.

0:39:16.880 --> 0:39:19.359
<v Speaker 1>He gave the standard answers on abortion. You know, only

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:21.879
<v Speaker 1>a woman can make that decision. As a man, I'm

0:39:21.880 --> 0:39:23.440
<v Speaker 1>not going to make that decision on a woman can

0:39:23.440 --> 0:39:25.920
<v Speaker 1>make that decision between herner doctor. More on that in

0:39:26.000 --> 0:39:30.680
<v Speaker 1>a moment, But you had you had Pete boodhag Edge

0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:33.680
<v Speaker 1>come out and really lay out a vision for what

0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:36.239
<v Speaker 1>he thinks the Democratic Party is and what he thinks

0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:38.480
<v Speaker 1>that party needs to do for this country. This is

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Pete from South Bend, Indiana who was just burst

0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:46.799
<v Speaker 1>onto the scene and he's this generation's betto here's Pete

0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:49.040
<v Speaker 1>bootage Edge with his vision of what he thinks the

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party is. Go as you said, it's a point

0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:55.799
<v Speaker 1>of pride for the Democratic Party, that we care about diversity,

0:39:55.880 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 1>that we want to make sure that our leadership reflects

0:39:59.239 --> 0:40:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the country that we serve. I've sought to do that

0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:04.080
<v Speaker 1>in my administration as mayor. I'm doing that with the

0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:06.799
<v Speaker 1>campaign team that I'm surrounding myselves with. But as he

0:40:06.840 --> 0:40:08.760
<v Speaker 1>said in your question, it's also not just the question

0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of the makeup of your team. It's what your policies

0:40:11.000 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 1>are going to be, and we need to make sure

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:15.520
<v Speaker 1>that this is an inclusive set of policies that's going

0:40:15.560 --> 0:40:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to serve everybody well. For example, we know just by

0:40:19.160 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the numbers that if you're a person of color in

0:40:22.040 --> 0:40:24.080
<v Speaker 1>this country, in many ways, you might as well be

0:40:24.120 --> 0:40:26.520
<v Speaker 1>living in a different country. You look at the rate

0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:30.919
<v Speaker 1>at which black women are likely to die from maternal complications.

0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:33.640
<v Speaker 1>It's about three times what it is for white women.

0:40:33.719 --> 0:40:35.879
<v Speaker 1>That didn't just happen, and it's not going to get

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:39.600
<v Speaker 1>fixed without policies that specifically pay attention to how those

0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:42.759
<v Speaker 1>racial inequities got there in it. So you have a

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:44.920
<v Speaker 1>guy who's going to deal with the racial inequities in

0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:48.759
<v Speaker 1>the problems that we're facing in this country. That's the

0:40:48.800 --> 0:40:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party is now, according to this guy the grievance Party.

0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:55.640
<v Speaker 1>He's not the first person to do that. The Democratic

0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Party has been the grievance Party for a long time.

0:40:57.760 --> 0:40:59.439
<v Speaker 1>But he tries to tell you what, we're the party

0:40:59.480 --> 0:41:03.360
<v Speaker 1>of misfare and outcasts and outliers, and we are we

0:41:03.400 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 1>are left behind and all that sort of stuff. And

0:41:05.120 --> 0:41:09.800
<v Speaker 1>then he gets into the mortality rate of black women,

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:12.560
<v Speaker 1>which is interesting because I didn't know that was like

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:14.359
<v Speaker 1>a political thing. I mean, I know that there are

0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:18.400
<v Speaker 1>political causes and effects of policies, but I didn't know

0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:22.960
<v Speaker 1>that Republicans were running around causing high mortality rates among

0:41:23.239 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 1>black women, among African American women who are delivering babies,

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:30.120
<v Speaker 1>or African American women more broadly. Would I would guess

0:41:30.200 --> 0:41:34.440
<v Speaker 1>that hospitals where those women are being treated might might

0:41:34.480 --> 0:41:37.200
<v Speaker 1>be a factor. The fact that many of those hospitals

0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:40.040
<v Speaker 1>might be in blue cities, Many of those hospitals might

0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:45.080
<v Speaker 1>be public facilities in blue cities, might be misadministrated, maladministrated

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:48.040
<v Speaker 1>in those that. Now, Brett, don't don't go, don't go

0:41:48.080 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 1>splitting hairs now, But that's Pete Buddha Jedge. He's got

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a vision. I don't agree with it. He comes out

0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:56.799
<v Speaker 1>and says only a woman should decide what to do

0:41:56.840 --> 0:41:59.160
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to abortion. Well, that may be the case,

0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 1>but by the same token, can we make the argument

0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:03.919
<v Speaker 1>with a straight face, And I think we can as

0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:07.919
<v Speaker 1>gun owners that really the Second Amendment is between gun

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:12.799
<v Speaker 1>owners and the Constitution. It's between gun owners and our God. Right.

0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:16.120
<v Speaker 1>That's that's sort of the same metric. If only women

0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:18.120
<v Speaker 1>can talk about abortion, then only gun owners should be

0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:22.560
<v Speaker 1>allowed to talk about the keeping ear. Don't want to

0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:25.200
<v Speaker 1>get pregnant, don't have sex, if you don't want to

0:42:25.239 --> 0:42:27.680
<v Speaker 1>have a baby, have an abortion, right, that's the messaging.

0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:29.839
<v Speaker 1>If you don't want to own a gun, nobody makes

0:42:29.840 --> 0:42:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you hold a gun, Nobody puts a gun in her

0:42:31.480 --> 0:42:34.200
<v Speaker 1>head and says buy a gun. Although if that God

0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:36.480
<v Speaker 1>forbid did happen, you may be motivated to buy a gun.

0:42:36.680 --> 0:42:39.920
<v Speaker 1>But my point is we can we can dissect and

0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:42.319
<v Speaker 1>bisect all of these points. In this way, we can

0:42:42.360 --> 0:42:44.959
<v Speaker 1>make the argument, well, you know that the only people

0:42:45.000 --> 0:42:47.839
<v Speaker 1>who have served in wartime should have an opinion on war.

0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Only people who are actually practicing a faith should should

0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:56.080
<v Speaker 1>be allowed to comment on whether or not there is

0:42:56.080 --> 0:43:01.960
<v Speaker 1>a separation of church and state. What do we I'm

0:43:02.000 --> 0:43:06.080
<v Speaker 1>puzzled by all the I'm puzzled by this sort of differentiation. Look,

0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:10.000
<v Speaker 1>we are all stakeholders in our constitutional republic. We are

0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:15.719
<v Speaker 1>all people who need to take part in the debate. Now,

0:43:15.840 --> 0:43:19.560
<v Speaker 1>k Ivy is the governor of Alabama. In just a

0:43:19.560 --> 0:43:22.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of moments, I'm gonna let you hear from k Ivy,

0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:25.759
<v Speaker 1>who's going to talk about the massive pushback they're now

0:43:25.800 --> 0:43:30.439
<v Speaker 1>getting an Alabama as a result of the abortion law

0:43:30.480 --> 0:43:34.799
<v Speaker 1>that was passed out. K Ivy is catching a lot

0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:38.480
<v Speaker 1>of grief as the as the governor of the state

0:43:38.520 --> 0:43:43.360
<v Speaker 1>of Alabama. And what does k Ivy have that Mayor

0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Pete Buddha Jedge does not have anybody guess anybody know,

0:43:48.520 --> 0:43:52.640
<v Speaker 1>anybody know she's a woman. She's a woman who may

0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:56.320
<v Speaker 1>have had or at least had the capacity to actually

0:43:56.360 --> 0:43:59.560
<v Speaker 1>give birth to a child. So in in Pete Boodha

0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Jedges metric k Ivy, even though she is pro life,

0:44:05.080 --> 0:44:07.800
<v Speaker 1>ought to be Oh no, no, no no, because she's pro life,

0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:10.319
<v Speaker 1>So she can't be she can't be permitted to have

0:44:10.360 --> 0:44:15.440
<v Speaker 1>an opinion on pregnancy and abortion because that's well, she's

0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:18.080
<v Speaker 1>she's on the wrong side. But wait, now you're voted Jedge,

0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you said that you just if you're a woman, then

0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:24.000
<v Speaker 1>it's between you when you're talk now you're saying so

0:44:24.040 --> 0:44:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you're saying only pro choice women. Huh No, Wait a minute,

0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:33.280
<v Speaker 1>then then why would the Democrats be supporting and Andrew Cuomo,

0:44:33.600 --> 0:44:36.520
<v Speaker 1>who's a man, but he's in favor of infanticide. But

0:44:36.600 --> 0:44:41.719
<v Speaker 1>he's a man, and the Governor Northam of Virginia. But

0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:45.239
<v Speaker 1>that's he's a man, he should he's See, if you're

0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:46.880
<v Speaker 1>on the right side of it, you can do anything

0:44:46.920 --> 0:44:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you want. If you're on the wrong side of it,

0:44:48.680 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna shut you down. They're gonna shout you down.

0:44:52.880 --> 0:44:54.680
<v Speaker 1>How do you feel about the terms of this debate

0:44:54.680 --> 0:44:57.240
<v Speaker 1>in the way it's been set out? But by folks

0:44:58.080 --> 0:45:02.520

<v Speaker 1>eight four four nine hundred bucks. Phone, I'm gonna be

0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:07.840

<v Speaker 1>Show right here. I'm Brett Wittable. Back after this, I'm

0:45:16.360 --> 0:45:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Brett Werball. I'm in four buck Sexton on the buck

0:45:18.400 --> 0:45:22.399
<v Speaker 1>Sexton Show. Eight four four nine hundred bucks. The phone

0:45:22.440 --> 0:45:25.359
<v Speaker 1>number eight four four nine hundred two eight two five.

0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Glad to be spending this time with you. The governor

0:45:29.360 --> 0:45:33.200
<v Speaker 1>of the State of Alabama is Kiv. Kiv has come

0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:35.600
<v Speaker 1>out in the last couple of hours and talked about

0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:38.200
<v Speaker 1>some of the challenges the folks are facing here in

0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:41.879
<v Speaker 1>were there in the state of Alabama. She came out

0:45:41.920 --> 0:45:44.919
<v Speaker 1>and she said, look, I understand that there are boycotts

0:45:44.960 --> 0:45:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that are being planned against the State of Alabama, because

0:45:47.560 --> 0:45:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that's what that's a progressive liberals do. Right, if you

0:45:50.000 --> 0:45:52.799
<v Speaker 1>disagree with what they're doing, with what a group is doing,

0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:55.680
<v Speaker 1>you have to destroy them economically. That is the standard

0:45:55.680 --> 0:45:59.960
<v Speaker 1>by which they measure success. Here is the governor of Alabama.

0:46:00.120 --> 0:46:02.480
<v Speaker 1>K I'm a person elected, by the way, by the

0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:05.440
<v Speaker 1>people of Alabama and a person who was a validly

0:46:05.480 --> 0:46:08.720
<v Speaker 1>pro life and who signed this abortion legislation last week.

0:46:09.000 --> 0:46:13.120
<v Speaker 1>This is Kive responding to the boycotts being pointed at

0:46:13.160 --> 0:46:16.759
<v Speaker 1>the state of Alabama. Go the Alabama has a lot

0:46:16.800 --> 0:46:20.720
<v Speaker 1>of different variety of types of things to visit and enjoy,

0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:24.359
<v Speaker 1>and now business can continue to come okay, And so

0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:27.279
<v Speaker 1>that you've got different states coming out and saying they're

0:46:27.280 --> 0:46:30.960
<v Speaker 1>not going to allow their their companies to go to

0:46:31.080 --> 0:46:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that state, or they're not going to allow their their

0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:36.440
<v Speaker 1>employees to do business in the state of Alabama. I'm waiting.

0:46:36.480 --> 0:46:39.040
<v Speaker 1>It's only a matter of time. You know, the NCAA

0:46:39.239 --> 0:46:41.319
<v Speaker 1>is going to be pressured to prevent the state, the

0:46:41.400 --> 0:46:44.600
<v Speaker 1>University of Alabama from playing in a bowl game or

0:46:44.640 --> 0:46:47.680
<v Speaker 1>from playing at it. You know, you just know what's coming, right,

0:46:47.760 --> 0:46:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what's coming because if you step away from

0:46:50.000 --> 0:46:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the orthodoxy of what you're supposed to believe in, you

0:46:53.000 --> 0:46:58.480
<v Speaker 1>will be punished and punished severely. That's the narrative that

0:46:58.560 --> 0:47:01.239
<v Speaker 1>always plays out. But k Ivy points something else out

0:47:01.280 --> 0:47:04.240
<v Speaker 1>that's very important. She points out the fact that, look,

0:47:04.560 --> 0:47:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I signed this bill. It was passed out by the legislature.

0:47:08.400 --> 0:47:10.600
<v Speaker 1>This is the expression of the will of the people,

0:47:10.960 --> 0:47:13.480
<v Speaker 1>such as it is in the state of Alabama. Roll

0:47:13.560 --> 0:47:18.840
<v Speaker 1>that piece. The legislature has spoken and under schools they

0:47:18.840 --> 0:47:20.960
<v Speaker 1>assigned a deal of life that the people of Alabama

0:47:21.080 --> 0:47:24.719
<v Speaker 1>value so highly. So this is where we now are

0:47:25.760 --> 0:47:30.880
<v Speaker 1>now in response to the boycott of the State of Alabama.

0:47:31.280 --> 0:47:34.200
<v Speaker 1>There are going to be people who engage in buycotts,

0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:36.239
<v Speaker 1>who say, you know what, I'm going to take my

0:47:36.360 --> 0:47:38.880
<v Speaker 1>business to the state of Alabama because I happen to

0:47:38.960 --> 0:47:42.399
<v Speaker 1>support her affirmation and that bill's affirmation when it comes

0:47:42.440 --> 0:47:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to life. That's the way the market can operate. You

0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:48.360
<v Speaker 1>can have people laying pressure, you have people laying pressure

0:47:48.440 --> 0:47:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the other way. But the fact of the matter is

0:47:51.040 --> 0:47:53.560
<v Speaker 1>this has to be dealt with and has to be

0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:57.279
<v Speaker 1>dealt with based on the position you're in. And as

0:47:57.320 --> 0:47:59.640
<v Speaker 1>far as I'm concerned with k I, I don't know

0:47:59.680 --> 0:48:01.759
<v Speaker 1>what else she could have done. She could veto that bill,

0:48:04.000 --> 0:48:07.520
<v Speaker 1>But would that be undermining the intent of the people

0:48:07.560 --> 0:48:10.000
<v Speaker 1>in the state of Alabama. I would submit that it would.

0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:13.759
<v Speaker 1>They're elected leaders pushed for this, and it's not like

0:48:14.280 --> 0:48:21.160
<v Speaker 1>this is something that is absolutely set in stone. Remember

0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:24.400
<v Speaker 1>when you hear people like Kristen Gillibrand and progressives like

0:48:24.480 --> 0:48:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris come out and talk about precedent is sacro saint.

0:48:29.480 --> 0:48:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Once upon a time, dread Scott was precedent, and that

0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:38.640
<v Speaker 1>law found that a fugitive slave, a runaway slave, must

0:48:38.719 --> 0:48:45.719
<v Speaker 1>be returned to their master. It feels positively barbaric by

0:48:45.800 --> 0:48:49.480
<v Speaker 1>today's standards, and it should. Once upon a time, separate

0:48:49.520 --> 0:48:53.600
<v Speaker 1>but equal was a precedent plessy versus Ferguson. Now eighteen

0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:57.000
<v Speaker 1>ninety six, Plessy versus Ferguson said you could have separate

0:48:57.040 --> 0:49:00.359
<v Speaker 1>but equal that would be overturned by Brown verse Board

0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:03.279
<v Speaker 1>of Education. Now, where were these people, Where were these

0:49:03.360 --> 0:49:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Democrats who once upon a time we're embracing dread Scott,

0:49:06.239 --> 0:49:08.880
<v Speaker 1>who once upon a time we're embracing plusy versus Ferguson.

0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Because the Jim Crow Laws were not a creation of

0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:15.359
<v Speaker 1>the abolitionist Republican movement, no way, no how. They were

0:49:15.440 --> 0:49:19.319
<v Speaker 1>a creation of the Democratic Party in the same way

0:49:19.360 --> 0:49:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that you had up until the eighteen forties and fifties,

0:49:23.120 --> 0:49:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the support stated explicitly in the planks of the Democratic

0:49:29.920 --> 0:49:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Party platform that slavery should be respected as a state's right.

0:49:34.560 --> 0:49:38.880
<v Speaker 1>That I'm not throwing any kind of fake, phony propaganda

0:49:38.960 --> 0:49:40.719
<v Speaker 1>your way. You can go and read. You actually can

0:49:40.760 --> 0:49:42.520
<v Speaker 1>go on the Google machine when you get a chance,

0:49:42.800 --> 0:49:45.760
<v Speaker 1>go pull up the platforms, the Democrat Party platforms starting

0:49:45.800 --> 0:49:48.520
<v Speaker 1>in eighteen twenty eight, and you'll see it in twenty

0:49:48.600 --> 0:49:51.320
<v Speaker 1>eight and thirty two and thirty six, you'll see it

0:49:51.440 --> 0:49:56.479
<v Speaker 1>in forty and forty four and forty eight. You'll see

0:49:56.800 --> 0:50:02.719
<v Speaker 1>it's enshrined there in the in the Democratic Party platform

0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:05.759
<v Speaker 1>that they support slave It's just that's a fact. Now,

0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:09.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a barbaric institution that we would never stand by today.

0:50:09.760 --> 0:50:16.480
<v Speaker 1>It's because of the hard work done by the abolitionist movement,

0:50:17.000 --> 0:50:21.719
<v Speaker 1>by the men and women in their supporting roles, in

0:50:21.880 --> 0:50:26.160
<v Speaker 1>helping to free the slaves, and in changing that narrative

0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:29.320
<v Speaker 1>in our country, that we no longer have slave states.

0:50:30.600 --> 0:50:35.359
<v Speaker 1>We are all free states, representing and respecting the right

0:50:35.440 --> 0:50:38.640
<v Speaker 1>to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, or has

0:50:38.640 --> 0:50:43.320
<v Speaker 1>originally written the pursuit of property. People can try to

0:50:43.360 --> 0:50:45.400
<v Speaker 1>sell it however they want, but they're not allowed and

0:50:45.400 --> 0:50:49.279
<v Speaker 1>they're not entitled to their own history. History is something

0:50:49.400 --> 0:50:52.000
<v Speaker 1>set in stone. And isn't it curious that that same

0:50:52.080 --> 0:50:54.480
<v Speaker 1>mayor pee boota judge that I mentioned in the opening

0:50:54.520 --> 0:50:57.600
<v Speaker 1>segment of this hour as talking about the need to

0:50:57.719 --> 0:51:01.880
<v Speaker 1>protect and preserve abortion, the need to protect and preserve

0:51:02.320 --> 0:51:05.560
<v Speaker 1>marginalized groups who are inside the Democratic Party. Isn't it

0:51:05.640 --> 0:51:09.719
<v Speaker 1>curious that Pete buddhag Edge and company will say that

0:51:10.120 --> 0:51:14.000
<v Speaker 1>only women have a right to make a decision on abortion,

0:51:14.080 --> 0:51:15.799
<v Speaker 1>Only somebody with a uterus has a right to make

0:51:15.840 --> 0:51:19.279
<v Speaker 1>a decision on abortion. And yet the same progressive group

0:51:19.320 --> 0:51:22.520
<v Speaker 1>will say that a person without a uterus can compete

0:51:22.560 --> 0:51:25.440
<v Speaker 1>as a woman in intercollegiate sports there at athletics or

0:51:25.480 --> 0:51:28.920
<v Speaker 1>at the high school level and track and field. They're

0:51:28.920 --> 0:51:32.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit here and there on the policy effectation,

0:51:33.560 --> 0:51:35.600
<v Speaker 1>but it is curious to see how this is going

0:51:35.719 --> 0:51:38.040
<v Speaker 1>to shake out. Now. Coming up here in just a

0:51:38.080 --> 0:51:39.839
<v Speaker 1>few minutes, we're gonna be joined by my very good friend.

0:51:39.880 --> 0:51:43.480
<v Speaker 1>He's Scott McEwan. You know him from his great work

0:51:43.520 --> 0:51:45.880
<v Speaker 1>with American Sniper. He wrote American Sniper, the story of

0:51:45.960 --> 0:51:49.239
<v Speaker 1>Chris Kyle. He also wrote American Commander and the Ghost

0:51:49.239 --> 0:51:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Sniper series, Camp Valor, and of course City of Death.

0:51:52.360 --> 0:51:54.360
<v Speaker 1>And I want to get his perspective because he, in

0:51:54.400 --> 0:51:57.880
<v Speaker 1>addition to being a great writer, is an attorney, and

0:51:58.000 --> 0:52:01.239
<v Speaker 1>I want to get his interpretation and his thoughts as

0:52:01.640 --> 0:52:05.480
<v Speaker 1>they are being formed. Watching this battle between the deep

0:52:05.560 --> 0:52:10.160
<v Speaker 1>State and Bill Barr, watching this battle between the Congressional

0:52:10.280 --> 0:52:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee, and of course what

0:52:15.640 --> 0:52:19.959
<v Speaker 1>it is that they are after with Don McGann coming

0:52:20.000 --> 0:52:24.280
<v Speaker 1>into testify and Mueller coming into testify, and other Trump

0:52:24.320 --> 0:52:27.840
<v Speaker 1>administration folks coming into testify to these committees in the

0:52:28.000 --> 0:52:32.440
<v Speaker 1>hopes of redrawing and rebuilding the case that they hoped

0:52:32.480 --> 0:52:37.600
<v Speaker 1>would manifest itself with the Mueller Report. It didn't. It hasn't.

0:52:37.960 --> 0:52:41.880
<v Speaker 1>They're frustrated, they're bummed out. They are worried about what

0:52:42.120 --> 0:52:47.719
<v Speaker 1>it's going to take to finally turn the tide. I

0:52:47.800 --> 0:52:49.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think they can do it, but they're going to

0:52:49.480 --> 0:52:53.279
<v Speaker 1>try to finally turn the tide in favor of impeachment,

0:52:53.520 --> 0:52:58.800
<v Speaker 1>removing this president and just short circuiting the electoral process

0:52:58.880 --> 0:53:01.320
<v Speaker 1>coming down the pipeline and twenty twenty. There's a reason

0:53:01.680 --> 0:53:06.279
<v Speaker 1>first term presidents don't get impeached. It's because first term

0:53:06.360 --> 0:53:10.840
<v Speaker 1>presidents stand for reelection. That's your chance to pass and

0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:14.479
<v Speaker 1>to cast a political verdict on the commander in chief.

0:53:14.920 --> 0:53:16.719
<v Speaker 1>The Democrats are not happy to do it. They've got

0:53:16.800 --> 0:53:19.319
<v Speaker 1>to undo twenty sixteen. They've got to undo it all,

0:53:19.880 --> 0:53:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and if they don't, it's your fault. Scott McEwen comes

0:53:23.040 --> 0:53:25.799
<v Speaker 1>by next. Don't go anywhere. It's the buck Sexton Show.

0:53:25.800 --> 0:53:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm Brett Wodabille in for Buck Sexton. Back right after this,

0:53:29.480 --> 0:53:32.160

<v Speaker 1>always love getting the opportunity to catch up with him.

<v Speaker 1>He is Scott mckew, and you know him from his

0:53:44.640 --> 0:53:48.520
<v Speaker 1>great work on American Sniper, American Commander, Ghost Snipers series

<v Speaker 1>of course, Camp Valor, and his most recent which is

0:53:51.480 --> 0:53:55.480
<v Speaker 1>phenomenal City of Death, talking about how these heroes around

0:53:55.520 --> 0:53:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the world banded together to help rescue those folks who

0:53:58.640 --> 0:54:01.560
<v Speaker 1>are held hostage by ISIS in mosl and in other communities.

0:54:02.040 --> 0:54:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Scott McEwen, though, is also an accomplished attorney at his

0:54:04.960 --> 0:54:07.000
<v Speaker 1>own right, and that's why I want to depend on

0:54:07.120 --> 0:54:10.120
<v Speaker 1>him today to talk about what it is that's going

0:54:10.200 --> 0:54:13.560
<v Speaker 1>on here. These democrats desperate from McGan to come and testify.

0:54:13.640 --> 0:54:17.560
<v Speaker 1>If he doesn't testify, it's impeachable. Everything's impeachable, Scott McEwen,

0:54:17.800 --> 0:54:20.759
<v Speaker 1>What are these folks looking for? It's interesting because Bill

0:54:20.840 --> 0:54:23.919
<v Speaker 1>Barr is not acting like Donald Trump's attorney. He's acting

0:54:24.000 --> 0:54:29.200
<v Speaker 1>like the Presidency's attorney, and he's drawn a firm line

0:54:29.280 --> 0:54:34.080
<v Speaker 1>in the sand. Your assessment of this battle, Royale, Yeah, well,

0:54:34.160 --> 0:54:36.759
<v Speaker 1>thank you for having me on. First of all, Bret, Yes,

0:54:36.960 --> 0:54:39.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, at the end of the day, what they're

0:54:39.280 --> 0:54:42.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to do is shoot the messengers. I mean, really,

0:54:42.760 --> 0:54:46.360
<v Speaker 1>they do not want the message or the indictments that

0:54:46.440 --> 0:54:49.440
<v Speaker 1>are going to follow to come out from bar and

0:54:49.600 --> 0:54:53.239
<v Speaker 1>various other people that know exactly what happened here, and

0:54:53.400 --> 0:54:56.239
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing the fallout from that. These people realize that

0:54:56.480 --> 0:55:01.279
<v Speaker 1>now that the attempt to hose or have a coup

0:55:01.280 --> 0:55:04.680
<v Speaker 1>against the President of the United States was unsuccessful. Now

0:55:05.200 --> 0:55:08.279
<v Speaker 1>those acts that they did in illegally attempting to do

0:55:08.440 --> 0:55:11.680
<v Speaker 1>so are coming back to haunt them. And I believe Brett,

0:55:11.680 --> 0:55:12.960
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, we're going to see

0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:17.240
<v Speaker 1>multiple indictments at cabinet, you know, at the top levels

0:55:17.280 --> 0:55:20.320
<v Speaker 1>of the FBI, of the DOJ, and likely at the

0:55:20.400 --> 0:55:22.880
<v Speaker 1>CIA before this thing is done. You know, it's amazing,

0:55:22.960 --> 0:55:25.800
<v Speaker 1>right because you've got You've got you've got James Komey

0:55:25.880 --> 0:55:29.640
<v Speaker 1>pointing fingers at Brennan, Brennan's pointing fingers at Clapper, Clapper's

0:55:29.680 --> 0:55:32.600
<v Speaker 1>pointing fingers that you know somebody else. These are not

0:55:32.680 --> 0:55:35.719
<v Speaker 1>folks that are going to stand firm and tall in

0:55:35.800 --> 0:55:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the defense of what it is that they did. Scott

0:55:38.719 --> 0:55:40.400
<v Speaker 1>so at some point, do you expect we're going to

0:55:40.440 --> 0:55:43.040
<v Speaker 1>start seeing some of these guys flip and and come

0:55:43.080 --> 0:55:45.600
<v Speaker 1>out in a different position from where they went in

0:55:46.239 --> 0:55:49.680
<v Speaker 1>to save their own hides. I certainly do, and I

0:55:49.800 --> 0:55:51.920
<v Speaker 1>believe we're going to see it, you know, not only

0:55:52.040 --> 0:55:54.640
<v Speaker 1>from the Clapper level and the and the Komy level,

0:55:54.719 --> 0:55:57.600
<v Speaker 1>but you know, we've got a lot of lesser players

0:55:57.680 --> 0:56:00.319
<v Speaker 1>that are looking down the barrel of twenty years jail

0:56:00.440 --> 0:56:02.279
<v Speaker 1>terms if they're convicted of some of these acts that

0:56:02.360 --> 0:56:05.440
<v Speaker 1>they've done, such as Strozik and Page and some other

0:56:05.640 --> 0:56:08.080
<v Speaker 1>some other people like that. You know that we're involved,

0:56:08.160 --> 0:56:10.359
<v Speaker 1>and I'm telling you those people, when they are put

0:56:10.520 --> 0:56:13.960
<v Speaker 1>on the stand or when they're forced to to to

0:56:14.200 --> 0:56:16.359
<v Speaker 1>make deals, I don't think there's going to be any

0:56:16.440 --> 0:56:19.200
<v Speaker 1>loyalty amongst any of this group, and I believe that

0:56:19.280 --> 0:56:22.920
<v Speaker 1>they're going to make deals, you know, to keep themselves

0:56:22.960 --> 0:56:25.720
<v Speaker 1>out of prison as much as possible, particularly somebody like Brennan,

0:56:26.280 --> 0:56:29.120
<v Speaker 1>who Brennan has already said that he did not authorize

0:56:29.160 --> 0:56:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the use of this steel dossier that Komy used at

0:56:32.719 --> 0:56:35.000
<v Speaker 1>least three times that we know of, to seek and

0:56:35.080 --> 0:56:39.120
<v Speaker 1>obtain you know, illegal fison warrants against various and suddenly

0:56:39.200 --> 0:56:42.680
<v Speaker 1>members of the Trump administrations. So I really believe that

0:56:43.080 --> 0:56:45.560
<v Speaker 1>they're all going to make deals if they can as

0:56:45.600 --> 0:56:47.800
<v Speaker 1>soon as possible. And those deals are probably already on

0:56:47.880 --> 0:56:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the table. Okay. And against the backdrop of that, you've

0:56:50.600 --> 0:56:54.239
<v Speaker 1>got you've got an Inspector General doing his investigation in

0:56:54.640 --> 0:56:58.359
<v Speaker 1>the in the Department of Justice, Mike Horowitz. And you've

0:56:58.440 --> 0:57:03.120
<v Speaker 1>got Durham out of Connecticut, former US attorney who's apparently

0:57:03.160 --> 0:57:06.040
<v Speaker 1>been on this job since at least Valentine's Day. What

0:57:06.239 --> 0:57:10.480
<v Speaker 1>about that, those those contemporaneous investigations happening at the same

0:57:10.560 --> 0:57:14.080
<v Speaker 1>time as the political battle going on here, What do

0:57:14.160 --> 0:57:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you expect those components to yield? Boy, I'll tell you what.

0:57:18.520 --> 0:57:20.320
<v Speaker 1>When when you look at the when you look at

0:57:20.360 --> 0:57:23.400
<v Speaker 1>what's been going on for so long with this Inspector

0:57:23.440 --> 0:57:27.000
<v Speaker 1>General investigation, you've got to wonder how deep that thing is.

0:57:27.160 --> 0:57:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Because that's been going on now for at least six

0:57:29.320 --> 0:57:32.120
<v Speaker 1>months that we know of, and probably for longer, and

0:57:32.520 --> 0:57:35.040
<v Speaker 1>he still hasn't come out with his report. I have

0:57:35.160 --> 0:57:37.280
<v Speaker 1>to imagine that report is going to be very, very

0:57:37.360 --> 0:57:39.760
<v Speaker 1>in depth and probably is going to cover all of

0:57:39.840 --> 0:57:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the acts that we've seen kind of surfacing up from

0:57:43.280 --> 0:57:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the swamp in the press. But I believe that what

0:57:46.560 --> 0:57:48.840
<v Speaker 1>he's done is probably going to be a complete if

0:57:48.880 --> 0:57:51.240
<v Speaker 1>you will, report on everything that's been done. And I

0:57:51.360 --> 0:57:55.880
<v Speaker 1>think that's probably going to be the puzzle pieces, if

0:57:55.920 --> 0:57:57.760
<v Speaker 1>you will, for all the indictments that we're going to

0:57:57.800 --> 0:58:00.480
<v Speaker 1>see come thereafter. And you know this guy that they

0:58:00.520 --> 0:58:03.120
<v Speaker 1>brought in, you know this Gerham guy. He's shown his

0:58:03.240 --> 0:58:06.480
<v Speaker 1>ability to and willingness to prosecute at the highest levels

0:58:06.520 --> 0:58:09.520
<v Speaker 1>of the FBI with what went on in Boston. And

0:58:09.600 --> 0:58:11.560
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to get the toughest guy you can

0:58:11.680 --> 0:58:14.440
<v Speaker 1>on the street, that has street knowledge of what's going on, right,

0:58:14.680 --> 0:58:17.640
<v Speaker 1>that is the guy to get okay against this. You've

0:58:17.680 --> 0:58:21.880
<v Speaker 1>also got Bill Barr who is holding that line firmly.

0:58:22.280 --> 0:58:25.720
<v Speaker 1>He is not a wilting flower by any stretch of

0:58:25.760 --> 0:58:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the imagination. Scott mckw and joining us here the Buck

0:58:28.200 --> 0:58:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Sexton show. What about that role that Barr is playing.

0:58:31.960 --> 0:58:36.320
<v Speaker 1>He is a guy that I think was wildly underestimated,

0:58:36.600 --> 0:58:38.959
<v Speaker 1>and he has turned out to be a rock star

0:58:39.480 --> 0:58:41.800
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of the ways. He's been behaving and

0:58:42.240 --> 0:58:44.920
<v Speaker 1>standing firm in the face of the pressure from these

0:58:45.080 --> 0:58:49.720
<v Speaker 1>partisans on the Judiciary Committee and the Intel Committee. Yeah,

0:58:49.920 --> 0:58:52.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I think one of the most entertaining

0:58:52.400 --> 0:58:55.280
<v Speaker 1>things I saw was if a guy was really upset

0:58:55.400 --> 0:58:58.040
<v Speaker 1>or really intimidated, if you will, which they're trying to do.

0:58:58.120 --> 0:59:00.280
<v Speaker 1>They're just trying to intimidate him and make him back down,

0:59:00.880 --> 0:59:04.080
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't say. See the comment that he made at

0:59:04.120 --> 0:59:06.960
<v Speaker 1>that event with Nancy Pelosi when he's walking by, when

0:59:07.000 --> 0:59:09.040
<v Speaker 1>he said, did you bring your handcuffs to this attent?

0:59:09.800 --> 0:59:11.480
<v Speaker 1>When I saw that, I thought to myself, you know,

0:59:11.600 --> 0:59:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that guy's got some moxie, if you will in making

0:59:15.440 --> 0:59:18.840
<v Speaker 1>that comment, because it just was basically a statement back

0:59:18.920 --> 0:59:22.080
<v Speaker 1>to Pelosi. Look, I'm not impressed. I'm doing my job,

0:59:22.560 --> 0:59:24.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, and you can make all these

0:59:24.640 --> 0:59:27.040
<v Speaker 1>threats of you know, of contempt or whatever else you

0:59:27.120 --> 0:59:29.120
<v Speaker 1>want to do, but it's not going to sway meet

0:59:29.200 --> 0:59:31.640
<v Speaker 1>from my job. I think Bill Barr is the best thing,

0:59:31.880 --> 0:59:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the best person that Trump could have chosen to be

0:59:35.560 --> 0:59:37.600
<v Speaker 1>there because he's been in that town for thirty years.

0:59:37.720 --> 0:59:40.360
<v Speaker 1>He's seen everything from Nixon, you know, all the way

0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:43.040
<v Speaker 1>through the Obama administration and everything else. So he's seen

0:59:43.080 --> 0:59:45.040
<v Speaker 1>it all and I don't think he's gonna be intimidated

0:59:45.080 --> 0:59:47.440
<v Speaker 1>for one second by any of these people from Congress

0:59:47.800 --> 0:59:49.560
<v Speaker 1>or the Nadlers or the rest of these people trying

0:59:49.560 --> 0:59:52.000
<v Speaker 1>to throw junk in his direction. And remember, we don't

0:59:52.080 --> 0:59:55.400
<v Speaker 1>know who he has relationships with to this day inside

0:59:55.440 --> 0:59:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Justice, who may be giving him the

0:59:57.720 --> 1:00:00.520
<v Speaker 1>straight stuff instead of the obfuscation of the game playing

1:00:00.800 --> 1:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>that went on under McCabe and Comy in the in

1:00:03.160 --> 1:00:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the FBI exactly. And the guy's respected. I mean, you know,

1:00:07.040 --> 1:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a there's this thing in the world called respect,

1:00:09.880 --> 1:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and that guy has had respect in that town for

1:00:12.040 --> 1:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>a long time. And you know in that respect is

1:00:14.240 --> 1:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>not going to end, nor is he going to compromise

1:00:16.080 --> 1:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>his reputation merely because he's been a point of this position.

1:00:19.240 --> 1:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I think whatever he does is not only going to stick.

1:00:21.720 --> 1:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>These indictments are going to be absolutely rock solid. And

1:00:24.560 --> 1:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's going to do it for political purposes,

1:00:26.760 --> 1:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>which is what everybody's saying. I think he's going to

1:00:28.480 --> 1:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>do it to protect the United States. At the end

1:00:30.640 --> 1:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>of the day, we had an attempt at Kutata on

1:00:33.400 --> 1:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>the highest office of the United States. It was unsuccessful,

1:00:36.680 --> 1:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>thank god, and now the people that did it are

1:00:39.160 --> 1:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>going to have to pay. And that's exactly why Bill

1:00:41.080 --> 1:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Barr is in office. All right, let me ask you

1:00:42.880 --> 1:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>for a final reaction here on that very point. It

1:00:46.080 --> 1:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>wasn't spying. They didn't insert spies. It was merely surveillance,

1:00:50.680 --> 1:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Scott makeew And it's just surveillance. They're just surveilling. They're

1:00:53.280 --> 1:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>just looking around. They had to chase down the smoke

1:00:55.320 --> 1:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>in the fire. That's all they were doing. They're just

1:00:57.040 --> 1:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>doing their jobs. Your reaction to that nonsense. My reaction

1:01:00.640 --> 1:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>to that is if you put the shoe on the

1:01:02.240 --> 1:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>other foot, because that's a political statement. If you put

1:01:05.040 --> 1:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the shoe on the other foot, and say, for example,

1:01:06.920 --> 1:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>if Trump right now was sending the FBI to spy

1:01:10.000 --> 1:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>on Joe Biden's campaign, or was sending the FBI to

1:01:13.080 --> 1:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>to you know, to spy on any one of twenty

1:01:16.920 --> 1:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>other candidates that are coming out of the Democrats, how

1:01:19.480 --> 1:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>would the Democratic Party feel about that? I think we

1:01:22.120 --> 1:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>as a nation have to look at this. No are

1:01:24.520 --> 1:01:28.400
<v Speaker 1>no D, no I, no other number designation behind you.

1:01:28.800 --> 1:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>But the bottom line is what would you like us

1:01:31.240 --> 1:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>to do as a democracy. And I do not believe

1:01:33.640 --> 1:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>what we saw done by this last administration to the

1:01:38.440 --> 1:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>then running candidate and now the president is the right

1:01:40.920 --> 1:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>thing to do. We need to make policy for the

1:01:43.280 --> 1:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>next fifty years for your and my children, for everybody

1:01:45.760 --> 1:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>else in this country. And that's exactly what we've got

1:01:47.520 --> 1:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>to clean up right now. We got to be Americans.

1:01:50.080 --> 1:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>We don't have to be Republicans or Democrats. We got

1:01:52.240 --> 1:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to be Americans, and we need to work hard to

1:01:55.400 --> 1:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>provide for our family and our loved ones. Always great

1:01:57.600 --> 1:01:59.520

1:02:26.520 --> 1:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the phones and talk to Charles and Boston.

1:02:28.880 --> 1:02:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Charles welcome to the show. What's on your mind today? Yes,

1:02:31.440 --> 1:02:35.640
<v Speaker 1>A couple of things of concern here. First of all,

1:02:35.720 --> 1:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean state where I'm coming from. I do support

1:02:38.880 --> 1:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the president, the good things that he's tried to do

1:02:41.440 --> 1:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and so forth. But I refer you to an article

1:02:46.080 --> 1:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>in the Washington Times March eighteenth, two thousand nineteen, on

1:02:52.120 --> 1:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>page twenty five, and the author of the article Joseph

1:02:57.280 --> 1:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>curl who covered the White House for the Washington Times

1:03:01.920 --> 1:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>for some ten years. I believe he said the title

1:03:05.600 --> 1:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of the article said, why Uncle Joe Biden will be

1:03:09.000 --> 1:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>America's next president. He feels quite certain that that's going

1:03:12.040 --> 1:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>to happen. And the second thing that I find disturbing

1:03:16.040 --> 1:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>is Justin Justin Abash, a Republican from Michigan, right, Yeah,

1:03:23.800 --> 1:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>from Michigan, has decided to join the ranks for calling

1:03:28.200 --> 1:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>of impeachment. I mean in this, I don't know. I mean,

1:03:31.480 --> 1:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>what's what's going to happen if he's sewn out of office?

1:03:34.240 --> 1:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean something like that. I mean sometimes I feel

1:03:38.560 --> 1:03:40.919
<v Speaker 1>angry enough if they do something like that, then maybe

1:03:40.960 --> 1:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>we deserve maybe we deserve an international situation. Uh you

1:03:48.160 --> 1:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. Yeah, I goes she's saying. But

1:03:50.440 --> 1:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>here's what's important to remember, Charles. Okay, there's two pieces here.

1:03:53.680 --> 1:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Whether or not Joe Biden gets elected is secondary to

1:03:56.400 --> 1:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>this issue of impeachment. The reason why the president is

1:03:59.480 --> 1:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>not being impeached is because the Democrats understand that there

1:04:02.920 --> 1:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>is nowhere near a majority needed to remove him from office.

1:04:06.840 --> 1:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>In the United States Senate, you'd have to have sixty

1:04:09.360 --> 1:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>six votes to remove convict to remove him from office.

1:04:13.640 --> 1:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>That is an incredibly high bar. It would take a

1:04:16.360 --> 1:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of Republicans coming on to the bandwagon, with Chuck Schumer,

1:04:20.320 --> 1:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi, Tom Steyer, and the whole lot of them. Okay,

1:04:23.520 --> 1:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>So the reason why Nancy Pelosi is so reticent to

1:04:27.520 --> 1:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>bring about the call to impeachment, to bring it to fruition,

1:04:31.120 --> 1:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>is because she knows she doesn't have the numbers. And

1:04:33.320 --> 1:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>we've seen these people go out there and acknowledge they

1:04:36.000 --> 1:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have the numbers. I think it was Nadler just

1:04:39.200 --> 1:04:41.160
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks back. So we don't have those numbers,

1:04:41.680 --> 1:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>nowhere near that number yet. That's the problem. That's why

1:04:44.560 --> 1:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>they're doing these pretend hearings, these pretend impeachment moves. To

1:04:47.800 --> 1:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>try to figure out a way to throw him out

1:04:50.720 --> 1:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to create enough moral outrage. Justin Amash is now going

1:04:53.440 --> 1:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>to get primaried in his run there at the House

1:04:56.760 --> 1:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of Representatives when he's up for reelection next time around.

1:04:59.600 --> 1:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>There's conservatives that are coming out saying you're an opportunist.

1:05:03.080 --> 1:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>There's no basis for this, there was no collusion, and

1:05:07.280 --> 1:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>anything in terms of obstruction of justice is a construct

1:05:11.080 --> 1:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>of the Muller narrative. I would not worry about any

1:05:15.560 --> 1:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>impact from Amash. I don't think there's a big break

1:05:18.520 --> 1:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>of people coming out looking to remove the president inside

1:05:21.600 --> 1:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>the Republican Party in the House. Most of those gutless

1:05:24.360 --> 1:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>wonders retired or were defeated back in the midterms in

1:05:29.800 --> 1:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen. The people that remain other than the Samash

1:05:33.320 --> 1:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>character tend to be much more conservatives as a rule

1:05:37.120 --> 1:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>of thumb. Now as to the Biden component, look, elections

1:05:41.200 --> 1:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>are going to hinge on what elections are going to

1:05:43.160 --> 1:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>hinge on. Joe Biden is a known quantity. He has

1:05:47.200 --> 1:05:50.840
<v Speaker 1>run at three different times, and he's been unsuccessful in

1:05:50.920 --> 1:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>each of his runs. He hasn't been able to pull

1:05:53.160 --> 1:05:54.880
<v Speaker 1>it off at two different times, right because he ran

1:05:54.960 --> 1:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>at eighty eight. He tried to run again in nineteen

1:05:59.000 --> 1:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and eight. He's come up short repeatedly.

1:06:01.960 --> 1:06:04.160
<v Speaker 1>He's come up short. He has a lot of skeletons

1:06:04.200 --> 1:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>in his closet. If I were a betting man now,

1:06:07.040 --> 1:06:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not because I have a wife and kids and

1:06:09.200 --> 1:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't afford the gamble. But if I were a

1:06:11.280 --> 1:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>betting man right now and you had to pin me

1:06:13.120 --> 1:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>down on the ground and say, Okay, Brett, who's going

1:06:15.200 --> 1:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>to be the Democratic nominee for the presidency of the

1:06:18.000 --> 1:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>United States, It's gonna be Kamela Harris. As far as

1:06:21.120 --> 1:06:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm concerned, it's gonna Bekamela Harris. They frontloaded the California

1:06:25.120 --> 1:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>primary into Super Tuesday. If she's able to float along

1:06:29.880 --> 1:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>in New Hampshire and Iowa, if she's able to put

1:06:32.640 --> 1:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>together a reasonable showing in South Carolina, she gets to California,

1:06:37.280 --> 1:06:40.280
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot of delegates that go a long way

1:06:40.320 --> 1:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to backen her up. I think she is somebody that

1:06:43.640 --> 1:06:46.320
<v Speaker 1>could be a threat. She's somebody that the President has

1:06:46.480 --> 1:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>not thrown a whole lot of heat on. He hasn't

1:06:49.240 --> 1:06:52.080
<v Speaker 1>nicknamed her, hasn't done any of that Buddha Jedge is

1:06:52.200 --> 1:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>pulling terribly when you look at the numbers out of

1:06:54.920 --> 1:06:57.600
<v Speaker 1>South Carolina. He's got no support among people of color.

1:06:57.960 --> 1:07:00.720
<v Speaker 1>He is being supported only by colorless people. I'm sorry,

1:07:00.720 --> 1:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't say that, but it's it's a joke I

1:07:02.640 --> 1:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>often use here on the show because I'm not a

1:07:04.560 --> 1:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>person of color. I guess I am color less. Buddha Jedge.

1:07:07.880 --> 1:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't have the critical mass behind him. Bernie Sanders

1:07:11.680 --> 1:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>is an old, creaky guy who's best days are behind him.

1:07:15.080 --> 1:07:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth Warren is not anybody who resonates with anybody else

1:07:18.480 --> 1:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>out there. I think I think Kamala Harris is going

1:07:21.080 --> 1:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>to be the person that this party ultimately looks to.

1:07:24.120 --> 1:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>It fulfills a lot of boxes that then get checked.

1:07:27.720 --> 1:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>And I I just don't see Biden being the guy

1:07:29.680 --> 1:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>with the golden ticket at the dance. I just don't.

1:07:32.360 --> 1:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he has the deliverables. He's got too

1:07:35.120 --> 1:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>many skeletons in that closet. You've got a lot of

1:07:37.520 --> 1:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>people still upset about Anita Hill. You've got a lot

1:07:40.000 --> 1:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>of people still upset about the crime bill that he's supported.

1:07:42.640 --> 1:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>You've got a lot of people that are still angry

1:07:45.080 --> 1:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>about his being friends with some of those old, unreconstructed

1:07:50.200 --> 1:07:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Southern Democrats. Heck, he just spoke at Ernest Hollings' funeral

1:07:54.520 --> 1:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>a month and a half ago in Charleston, South Carolina.

1:07:57.840 --> 1:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Ernest Hollings was the guy in South Carolina who hoisted

1:08:01.400 --> 1:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>the stars and bars above the state House when he

1:08:04.120 --> 1:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>was the governor. Joe Biden was his bff. There's a

1:08:08.080 --> 1:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of baggage with this guy. We're not I'm not

1:08:10.720 --> 1:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>even getting into Hunter Biden, the weird investment stuff that

1:08:14.520 --> 1:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Schweitzer has written about. I'm not even getting into the

1:08:16.960 --> 1:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>stuff involving the Ukraine or involving any of the other

1:08:21.520 --> 1:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>things that have happened. Is this is not a guy

1:08:24.320 --> 1:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>who is a twenty nineteen, twenty twenty character. This is

1:08:29.040 --> 1:08:33.639
<v Speaker 1>a man firmly stuck in the early mid nineteen seventies

1:08:33.760 --> 1:08:36.760
<v Speaker 1>hoping to hold on in this new climate. Consider this,

1:08:37.160 --> 1:08:40.519
<v Speaker 1>when Joe Biden was in the Senate in his early days,

1:08:40.520 --> 1:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about the early nineteen seventies. He's serving with

1:08:44.040 --> 1:08:46.759
<v Speaker 1>people who were in the Senate in the nineteen thirties

1:08:46.800 --> 1:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and forties. That's how far back this he goes back

1:08:50.479 --> 1:08:54.920
<v Speaker 1>nearly a century in terms of institutional interaction with people

1:08:55.400 --> 1:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>he served with, people who served with Roosevelt and Truman.

1:08:58.360 --> 1:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is an unbelievable thing. But he doesn't

1:09:01.280 --> 1:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>have the magic with the young people. You get this

1:09:03.320 --> 1:09:05.640
<v Speaker 1>electability phrase, It gets thrown around a whole lot. Oh,

1:09:05.680 --> 1:09:08.559
<v Speaker 1>he's electable. He's an electable guy. He's a guy who

1:09:08.600 --> 1:09:11.840
<v Speaker 1>can get elected. Where's he ever been elected president before?

1:09:12.400 --> 1:09:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Where's he ever been elected president? What is the solid

1:09:15.360 --> 1:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>track record of Bidenism? What is it? What has he

1:09:19.160 --> 1:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>ever sold? Back in the day he sold well, you know,

1:09:21.920 --> 1:09:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I've got a lot of institutional experience in the Senates.

1:09:24.439 --> 1:09:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Why Barack Obama picked him up? Barack Obama was two

1:09:27.200 --> 1:09:29.759
<v Speaker 1>thousand and eight Pete Boodhage Edge and he needed somebody

1:09:29.920 --> 1:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>to be the adult in the situation. Biden was the

1:09:33.560 --> 1:09:37.479
<v Speaker 1>adult who understood Capitol Hill. He understood all that. He

1:09:37.600 --> 1:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>served a purpose, but his purpose was never to be

1:09:40.160 --> 1:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>president himself. You can book it, you can mark it,

1:09:43.160 --> 1:09:45.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'll eat my words if I'm wrong. It's the

1:09:45.720 --> 1:09:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Bucks Exton Show. I'm Brett Witterbale sitting in for him.

1:10:12.080 --> 1:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>part of the conversation at eight four four nine hundred

1:10:15.520 --> 1:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Buck eight four four nine zero zero two eight two five.

1:10:18.800 --> 1:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Spoke with Charles in the last hour about this impeachment

1:10:21.280 --> 1:10:24.439
<v Speaker 1>stuff and certainly all the big stories out there a

1:10:24.560 --> 1:10:25.920
<v Speaker 1>fair game, right. I don't want you feeling like you

1:10:25.960 --> 1:10:27.760
<v Speaker 1>got to be limited just the things we've talked about.

1:10:27.920 --> 1:10:30.439
<v Speaker 1>If you've got to concern a comment, an issue that

1:10:30.560 --> 1:10:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you think needs to draw more attention to in the

1:10:32.960 --> 1:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>current political climate, certainly happy to hear from you. Let

1:10:36.880 --> 1:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>me give you one that I think is fascinating. Yesterday,

1:10:39.680 --> 1:10:41.280
<v Speaker 1>early in the morning, getting ready to go to church,

1:10:41.360 --> 1:10:43.559
<v Speaker 1>getting ready to get out with the family, I'm watching

1:10:43.800 --> 1:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Mornings with Maria over on Fox News, and there she's

1:10:47.000 --> 1:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>talking to Congressman Trey Gaudy about what it is he

1:10:51.240 --> 1:10:56.920
<v Speaker 1>saw as part of this investigation into Russian medaling, collusion,

1:10:57.040 --> 1:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>all that kind of stuff, and now the big obviously

1:10:59.360 --> 1:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the big gas lighting that has taken place as a

1:11:01.720 --> 1:11:04.160
<v Speaker 1>result with this intelligence community behaving the way they have.

1:11:04.680 --> 1:11:08.280
<v Speaker 1>And what was so interesting to me was this indication

1:11:08.640 --> 1:11:11.760
<v Speaker 1>from Trey Goudy that it appears, at least from the

1:11:11.800 --> 1:11:15.559
<v Speaker 1>stuff he has seen, that once upon a time, to remember,

1:11:16.080 --> 1:11:19.439
<v Speaker 1>right after the election and going into the inauguration of

1:11:19.520 --> 1:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>then President Trump, president elect and to President Trump, there

1:11:23.280 --> 1:11:29.680
<v Speaker 1>was that seventeen intelligence agency assessment that the Russians had

1:11:29.720 --> 1:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>meddled in the election, and the implication was they had

1:11:33.000 --> 1:11:38.880
<v Speaker 1>meddled in the election to the benefit of President Donald J. Trump, Right,

1:11:38.920 --> 1:11:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Remember that that was the narrative. Well, a curious thing

1:11:42.240 --> 1:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>happened on the way to the investigation. It appears, according

1:11:45.040 --> 1:11:48.599
<v Speaker 1>to Trey Goudy, a very serious man, a man who

1:11:48.720 --> 1:11:51.920
<v Speaker 1>is a serious investigator in his own right, former prosecutor,

1:11:51.960 --> 1:11:56.759
<v Speaker 1>somebody who worked very hard into looking into the Russian

1:11:56.800 --> 1:11:59.840
<v Speaker 1>collusion matter as a part of his last couple of

1:12:00.040 --> 1:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>years in the Congress. He found out that it appears

1:12:04.280 --> 1:12:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that it was one John Brennan, who was responsible for

1:12:10.160 --> 1:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>making sure that that dossier, that Steel dossier, constructed and

1:12:16.200 --> 1:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>fabricated in every possible way by Christopher Steele with a

1:12:20.960 --> 1:12:24.320
<v Speaker 1>wink and a nod from Russian FSB and anybody else

1:12:24.360 --> 1:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>who wanted to throw a little fun stuff in there. Well,

1:12:27.040 --> 1:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>it appears that it was John Brennan, the head of

1:12:29.040 --> 1:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>the CIA, who shepherded that and demanded that that be

1:12:34.160 --> 1:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>included as part of the basis the underlying facts for

1:12:38.160 --> 1:12:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the Are you ready for this? The seventeen intelligence agency

1:12:42.920 --> 1:12:46.839
<v Speaker 1>assessment that the Russians had intervened and interfered in our election.

1:12:47.000 --> 1:12:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Why does that matter? Well, first of all, if you

1:12:49.320 --> 1:12:51.960
<v Speaker 1>go back and look at the intelligence community itself, the

1:12:52.080 --> 1:12:54.160
<v Speaker 1>broader intel community. I'm sure Bucks talked about this in

1:12:54.240 --> 1:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the past. When you talk about seventeen intelligence agencies, that

1:12:58.439 --> 1:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>sounds like a lot of intelligen agence agencies who all

1:13:02.560 --> 1:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>seventeen agreed that this happened. Well, if you look at

1:13:06.880 --> 1:13:10.479
<v Speaker 1>who the seventeen intelligence agencies are, it includes people like

1:13:10.800 --> 1:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the Coastguard Intelligence Agency, the Navy Intelligence Agency, the Marine

1:13:15.960 --> 1:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Corps Intelligence Agency, and the US Army Intelligence Agency. It

1:13:19.280 --> 1:13:25.599
<v Speaker 1>also includes the National geospatial intelligence, all these these these

1:13:25.920 --> 1:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>leviathans of the intelligence agency, of which really maybe about

1:13:31.240 --> 1:13:36.200
<v Speaker 1>four maybe five had any true connection to dealing with

1:13:36.360 --> 1:13:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Russians and the UH the the meddling in the election.

1:13:41.439 --> 1:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that the Coastguard Intel Agency or the

1:13:43.920 --> 1:13:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Marine Corps intel agencies, and I know they're very important,

1:13:46.840 --> 1:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>they do very important work for their for their departments.

1:13:49.080 --> 1:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that they were really on the Russia game.

1:13:51.760 --> 1:13:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know that that's the case. I don't

1:13:54.160 --> 1:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>know that the DA was on the Russia game. I

1:13:57.240 --> 1:13:58.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know that it would any of those people. I

1:13:59.000 --> 1:14:01.200
<v Speaker 1>do know this. I do know that once upon a

1:14:01.280 --> 1:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>time Admiral Rodgers was run out of the m N

1:14:09.040 --> 1:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>say why because he had noticed there were some shady

1:14:14.080 --> 1:14:20.760
<v Speaker 1>moves going on inside the wire tapping and the surveilling

1:14:20.840 --> 1:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>sort of stuff. So if you look at the seventeen

1:14:23.760 --> 1:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>intelligence agencies and you think about who the big dogs are, right,

1:14:27.240 --> 1:14:30.679
<v Speaker 1>You've You've got obviously the FBIS and Intelligence Agency. You've

1:14:30.760 --> 1:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>got the the the NSA that's an intelligence agency. You've

1:14:36.400 --> 1:14:39.679
<v Speaker 1>also got a couple of others that are right there

1:14:39.960 --> 1:14:42.519
<v Speaker 1>in the bread and butter business of dealing with Russians,

1:14:42.960 --> 1:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and you can see where that might play a factor.

1:14:46.120 --> 1:14:48.160
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know that the Drug Enforcement Agency was

1:14:48.200 --> 1:14:50.880
<v Speaker 1>really watching the Russians. They're an intelligence agency too. I mean,

1:14:50.880 --> 1:14:52.439
<v Speaker 1>you get on the list, just you go, go, go,

1:14:52.640 --> 1:14:55.800
<v Speaker 1>go on the Google machine and type in US intelligence

1:14:55.840 --> 1:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>agencies and then just look at all seventeen of them

1:14:57.960 --> 1:15:01.080
<v Speaker 1>and go why would they be? Why would they be invited?

1:15:01.240 --> 1:15:03.160
<v Speaker 1>How would they be? And they wouldn't. When you boil

1:15:03.200 --> 1:15:05.559
<v Speaker 1>it down, it's like five, it's like five. And it's

1:15:05.640 --> 1:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Brennan who wanted to make sure this assessment got in it.

1:15:09.120 --> 1:15:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Why why why would John Brennan want that to go

1:15:11.760 --> 1:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>in there? Because he wanted there to be a cloud

1:15:14.160 --> 1:15:16.080
<v Speaker 1>over the president. You know, I play a clip on

1:15:16.200 --> 1:15:18.000
<v Speaker 1>my TV show all the time, on my radio show

1:15:18.000 --> 1:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>all the time in sending, and the clip is of

1:15:20.680 --> 1:15:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Schumer. You've heard it, no doubt, from January the fourth,

1:15:24.280 --> 1:15:29.479
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen, talking about how the intelligence community has six

1:15:29.600 --> 1:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>ways from Sunday to get even with President Trump if

1:15:33.479 --> 1:15:36.559
<v Speaker 1>he's not careful. When I first heard that, I said

1:15:36.560 --> 1:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>to myself, Now, hold on a second. He hasn't even

1:15:38.960 --> 1:15:43.519
<v Speaker 1>been inaugurated. What is Senator Schumer talking about I mean,

1:15:44.120 --> 1:15:47.320
<v Speaker 1>initially my blood ran cold, getting visions of Dallas in

1:15:47.360 --> 1:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the early nineteen sixties. I'm thinking, what is he what

1:15:49.240 --> 1:15:51.559
<v Speaker 1>is he implying? No, no, No, What he was implying

1:15:51.760 --> 1:15:54.760
<v Speaker 1>was the intelligence community has its own way of meeting

1:15:54.800 --> 1:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>out justice against people that they don't like. And I

1:15:58.439 --> 1:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>think he revealed more than he ever intended to reveal.

1:16:01.720 --> 1:16:06.280
<v Speaker 1>He revealed, of course that well, of course John Brennan

1:16:06.320 --> 1:16:08.800
<v Speaker 1>would be part of that intelligence community, and he could

1:16:08.800 --> 1:16:11.400
<v Speaker 1>be part of getting even, and so could Jimmy Clapper,

1:16:11.760 --> 1:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and so could James Came, and so could so could

1:16:15.000 --> 1:16:18.519
<v Speaker 1>any of these people. They could all have been working together.

1:16:19.439 --> 1:16:21.280
<v Speaker 1>And you know what struck me at the time that

1:16:21.560 --> 1:16:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Schumer said those things, It was, well, what did

1:16:25.520 --> 1:16:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Chuck know about surveillance of the Trump campaign before any

1:16:31.840 --> 1:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>of this was made pub What did Chuck Schumer? No, certainly,

1:16:35.320 --> 1:16:38.320
<v Speaker 1>he's a he's a senior guy. He was the minority

1:16:38.439 --> 1:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>leader in the Senate. You had Mitch McConnell as the

1:16:40.880 --> 1:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>majority leader. He had Chuck Schumer's a minority leader. You know,

1:16:43.920 --> 1:16:45.360
<v Speaker 1>you hear about the Gang of eight all the time,

1:16:45.479 --> 1:16:48.040
<v Speaker 1>not not the Gang of eight back when Marco Rubio

1:16:48.160 --> 1:16:50.560
<v Speaker 1>was talking about we had to do an immigration amnesty.

1:16:50.760 --> 1:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>The Gang of Eight that was with the eight congress

1:16:52.960 --> 1:16:54.960
<v Speaker 1>people and senators who were working to try to push

1:16:55.000 --> 1:16:57.360
<v Speaker 1>amnesty through back way back, once upon a time. The

1:16:57.479 --> 1:17:01.200
<v Speaker 1>real Gang of eight are these people. They would be

1:17:01.920 --> 1:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>under the circumstances of twenty seventeen, it would have been

1:17:04.880 --> 1:17:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Paul Ryan. It would have been Nancy Pelosi. It would

1:17:09.840 --> 1:17:15.799
<v Speaker 1>have been Adam Schiff, and it would have been Devin Nunez.

1:17:15.960 --> 1:17:18.040
<v Speaker 1>That would be the House side of the equation. The

1:17:18.200 --> 1:17:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Senate side of the equation would have been Mitch McConnell.

1:17:21.600 --> 1:17:24.240
<v Speaker 1>It would have been Chuck Schumer, it would have been

1:17:24.439 --> 1:17:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Mark Warner, and it would have been Richard Burr, right,

1:17:28.439 --> 1:17:32.679
<v Speaker 1>because Richard Burr and Mark Warner ran the Senate Intel Committee,

1:17:33.080 --> 1:17:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Devin Nunez was the chair and Adam Schiff was the

1:17:35.320 --> 1:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>ranking member of the Intel Committee. And you would have had,

1:17:38.800 --> 1:17:42.080
<v Speaker 1>of course, like I said, Ryan and Pelosi, and you

1:17:42.120 --> 1:17:44.280
<v Speaker 1>would have had McConnell and Schumer. And so I just

1:17:44.439 --> 1:17:46.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of wondered when when he went on Rachel Maddow's

1:17:46.920 --> 1:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>show there on MSNBC and said, mister President, you're being

1:17:50.320 --> 1:17:53.240
<v Speaker 1>very foolish. The intelligence community has six ways from Sunday

1:17:53.280 --> 1:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to get even with you. My radar went up, and

1:17:56.400 --> 1:17:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I just wonder how many people have ever asked that

1:18:00.240 --> 1:18:02.639
<v Speaker 1>about what did Chuck Schumer know about surveiling the Trump campaign?

1:18:03.479 --> 1:18:05.760
<v Speaker 1>One of the questions that has not been asked. I

1:18:05.840 --> 1:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>hope it does get asked, And if it doesn't get

1:18:07.840 --> 1:18:10.960
<v Speaker 1>asked in the process of this primary run, I hope

1:18:10.960 --> 1:18:13.680
<v Speaker 1>it gets asked when President Trump squares off with with

1:18:13.840 --> 1:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden if he ends up being the nominee again.

1:18:16.080 --> 1:18:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he will be, but but I hope

1:18:17.960 --> 1:18:20.640
<v Speaker 1>that President Trump does ask Joe Biden, why were you

1:18:20.840 --> 1:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>spying on my campaign back in twenty sixteen? Sleepy Joe,

1:18:26.240 --> 1:18:28.920
<v Speaker 1>why were you as vice president? Why were you guys spying?

1:18:29.240 --> 1:18:32.600
<v Speaker 1>And when Joe Biden denies he knew anything about it,

1:18:32.840 --> 1:18:35.360
<v Speaker 1>he'll be revealed as incompetent that it was all being

1:18:35.439 --> 1:18:39.080
<v Speaker 1>done by President Obama and Susan Rice and Samantha Power

1:18:39.479 --> 1:18:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and the powers that be with Loretta Lynch and James Comey.

1:18:43.240 --> 1:18:45.080
<v Speaker 1>It'll look like Joe Biden was the last guy on

1:18:45.160 --> 1:18:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the deal team and he had no idea what was

1:18:46.720 --> 1:18:50.120
<v Speaker 1>going on in his own government. If he does answer,

1:18:50.360 --> 1:18:52.880
<v Speaker 1>he's going to have to answer some pretty uncomfortable questions

1:18:53.160 --> 1:18:56.519
<v Speaker 1>about why it is that, standing across the stage from

1:18:56.560 --> 1:18:59.400
<v Speaker 1>a commander in chief, he would have been part of

1:18:59.479 --> 1:19:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a government effort to insert spies Stephen Holper and some

1:19:04.320 --> 1:19:08.439
<v Speaker 1>mysterious woman. And why it was the Central Intelligence Agency,

1:19:08.680 --> 1:19:12.639
<v Speaker 1>the one agency from prohibited from doing business on American soil,

1:19:13.080 --> 1:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>would be running an intel operation with the FBI. Now,

1:19:17.120 --> 1:19:22.040
<v Speaker 1>why would that happen? Vice President Biden and he's gonna

1:19:22.040 --> 1:19:23.640
<v Speaker 1>have him, and he's gonna hau and he's gonna go

1:19:23.680 --> 1:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>You don't understand, man, this is about unity. We gotta

1:19:27.000 --> 1:19:30.200
<v Speaker 1>rebuild unity. Man. That's what he'll do. It's what he

1:19:30.280 --> 1:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>always does. I'm Brett Whatterbill eight four four nine hundred

1:19:34.080 --> 1:19:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Buck eight four four nine two eight two five. It's

1:19:37.120 --> 1:19:39.559
<v Speaker 1>the Buck Sexton Show. I'm Brett Whattterbal sitting in back

1:19:39.640 --> 1:19:44.680
<v Speaker 1>right after this. It is the Buck Sexton Show. I'm

1:19:44.680 --> 1:19:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Brett Whaterbal sitting in for Buck Sexton eight four to

1:19:46.479 --> 1:19:48.439
<v Speaker 1>four nine hundred Buck eight four four n hundred Buck

1:19:48.600 --> 1:19:50.160
<v Speaker 1>be a part of the conversation. I'm gonna pivot over

1:19:50.160 --> 1:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to the border here in just a second. But because

1:19:51.920 --> 1:19:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I was challenged by somebody on Twitter to name the

1:19:55.680 --> 1:19:57.920
<v Speaker 1>intelligence agencies that were part of the Russian assessment, I'm

1:19:57.960 --> 1:19:59.800
<v Speaker 1>going to do that now, are you ready? Okay? Three?

1:20:00.120 --> 1:20:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Two one? The twenty fifth Air Force that's the Air

1:20:02.960 --> 1:20:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Force Intelligence Agency, Intelligence and Security Command. That's the US

1:20:06.920 --> 1:20:10.799
<v Speaker 1>Army Intelligence Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, that's the CIA.

1:20:11.200 --> 1:20:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Coastguard Intelligence that's the Coastguard, Defense Intelligence Agency, Office of

1:20:15.439 --> 1:20:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Intelligence counter Intelligence, Office of Intelligence and Analysis, Bureau of

1:20:19.520 --> 1:20:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Intelligence and Research, Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. Those

1:20:24.560 --> 1:20:30.080
<v Speaker 1>are all separate, standalone intell agencies. Office of National Security Intelligence,

1:20:30.120 --> 1:20:32.280
<v Speaker 1>you know who that is. That's the d EA. The

1:20:32.400 --> 1:20:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Intelligence Branch, that's the FBI, the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity,

1:20:37.400 --> 1:20:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, those

1:20:43.160 --> 1:20:46.680
<v Speaker 1>guys that geospatial and reconnaissance they tend to deal with

1:20:46.800 --> 1:20:51.120
<v Speaker 1>like satellites and maps and topography and electronic intelligence. National

1:20:51.160 --> 1:20:54.799
<v Speaker 1>Security Agency obviously, very obviously who that is. And Office

1:20:54.800 --> 1:20:57.840
<v Speaker 1>of Naval Intelligence. So when you heard these things back

1:20:57.920 --> 1:21:02.080
<v Speaker 1>in twenty seventies, seventeen agencies all agree the Russians influence

1:21:02.160 --> 1:21:05.479
<v Speaker 1>the election. Well yeah, but like five of them are

1:21:05.479 --> 1:21:08.760
<v Speaker 1>actually in that business. The rest are not sorry to

1:21:08.880 --> 1:21:11.759
<v Speaker 1>have to be a Debbie Downer or a Donnie Downer

1:21:12.360 --> 1:21:15.439
<v Speaker 1>or a Brett Bummer. Here's something else I want to

1:21:15.479 --> 1:21:17.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about that it's very important. We are now watching

1:21:18.360 --> 1:21:23.880
<v Speaker 1>a slow motion become fast motion immigration crisis at our

1:21:24.000 --> 1:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>southern border. I'm in San Diego. I can pretty much

1:21:27.800 --> 1:21:29.680
<v Speaker 1>kick a soccer ball from where I'm sitting right now

1:21:30.080 --> 1:21:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and get pretty close to the border. I grew up

1:21:33.120 --> 1:21:36.400
<v Speaker 1>in El Paso, Texas, also happens to be a very

1:21:36.479 --> 1:21:39.760
<v Speaker 1>significant border community there as well. I understand how borders work,

1:21:39.920 --> 1:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>and understand how borders, healthy borders are supposed to work.

1:21:43.120 --> 1:21:45.920
<v Speaker 1>People go back and forth every day, they conduct commerce.

1:21:45.960 --> 1:21:48.120
<v Speaker 1>We have billions of dollars in commerce right here in

1:21:48.240 --> 1:21:51.519
<v Speaker 1>San Diego between US and Tijuana and into Baja Mexico.

1:21:51.840 --> 1:21:54.479
<v Speaker 1>Same thing with El Paso, Texas and any number of

1:21:54.600 --> 1:21:59.440
<v Speaker 1>checkpoints across the border. But you have had Nancy Pelosi

1:21:59.560 --> 1:22:03.080
<v Speaker 1>and Chuck Schumer, you have had Jim Acosta and every

1:22:03.120 --> 1:22:06.120
<v Speaker 1>other talking head on TV try to tell you that

1:22:06.200 --> 1:22:08.760
<v Speaker 1>there's no crisis at the border. There's no crisis at

1:22:08.760 --> 1:22:12.320
<v Speaker 1>the southern border. This is made. This is Donald Trump hysteria.

1:22:12.640 --> 1:22:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Even at Barack Obama in twenty eighteen at campaign rallies,

1:22:15.800 --> 1:22:18.719
<v Speaker 1>saying these people are down the southern part of Mexico,

1:22:19.120 --> 1:22:22.000
<v Speaker 1>take them about six months to get up here. Border crisis.

1:22:22.360 --> 1:22:26.360
<v Speaker 1>There's a border crisis. There's a huge border crisis. I

1:22:26.520 --> 1:22:28.799
<v Speaker 1>was speaking of the folks at Federation for American Immigration

1:22:28.880 --> 1:22:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Reform last week and they informed me that, like in

1:22:32.800 --> 1:22:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the last nine to ten months, you've got seven hundred

1:22:35.200 --> 1:22:41.120
<v Speaker 1>thousand people coming into the country seeking quote asylum. In reality,

1:22:41.400 --> 1:22:44.080
<v Speaker 1>these are economic refugees looking to get a piece of

1:22:44.120 --> 1:22:48.160
<v Speaker 1>a strong economy. And when the President reaches out, tries

1:22:48.200 --> 1:22:51.280
<v Speaker 1>to secure our border, tries to do the right thing

1:22:51.640 --> 1:22:54.600
<v Speaker 1>to make sure Americans are kept safe, you're told that

1:22:54.720 --> 1:22:57.920
<v Speaker 1>there's no border crisis. Look, I can assure you, living

1:22:57.960 --> 1:23:01.000
<v Speaker 1>here in California, as many people in this audience can

1:23:01.040 --> 1:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>also attest to, there's a border crisis. And unfortunately, you

1:23:06.040 --> 1:23:09.519
<v Speaker 1>have a governor in Gavin Newsom, and you had a

1:23:09.560 --> 1:23:12.360
<v Speaker 1>governor before him and Jerry Brown, who is more than

1:23:12.479 --> 1:23:17.960
<v Speaker 1>happy to welcome people into this state in an illicit fashion.

1:23:18.600 --> 1:23:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Let me be clear about something here. You had as

1:23:21.800 --> 1:23:25.679
<v Speaker 1>candidate Newsome and then as governor Newsom a man who declared,

1:23:25.960 --> 1:23:28.000
<v Speaker 1>if you want to come and get free healthcare. If

1:23:28.040 --> 1:23:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you want to come and get services, you come into California.

1:23:31.400 --> 1:23:36.080
<v Speaker 1>It is enshrined in the state Code SB fifty four,

1:23:36.640 --> 1:23:41.920
<v Speaker 1>which is the state sanctuary law. That we do not

1:23:42.280 --> 1:23:47.160
<v Speaker 1>cooperate with the Feds save for some very specific cases.

1:23:47.880 --> 1:23:51.960
<v Speaker 1>We are a welcoming state, so says Gavin Newsom. We

1:23:52.120 --> 1:23:56.240
<v Speaker 1>are a state that is committed to allowing everybody who

1:23:56.280 --> 1:23:59.519
<v Speaker 1>wants to come in, regardless of circumstances are being screened,

1:23:59.760 --> 1:24:02.240
<v Speaker 1>to come on in. The term I like to use

1:24:02.439 --> 1:24:05.320
<v Speaker 1>is if you've got turf tooe and you're in Tajikistan,

1:24:05.600 --> 1:24:07.920
<v Speaker 1>come on in and get some medical care. If you've

1:24:07.960 --> 1:24:11.960
<v Speaker 1>got a urology infection and you're from Uzbekistan, come on

1:24:12.080 --> 1:24:14.800
<v Speaker 1>in here. If you're from France and you want a facelift,

1:24:15.120 --> 1:24:20.519
<v Speaker 1>head on down come into California. That's a fact. And

1:24:20.680 --> 1:24:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I would love to states rights activists who advocate for

1:24:24.520 --> 1:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>sanctuary laws. I would love to see them come out

1:24:28.400 --> 1:24:31.680
<v Speaker 1>and make the same states rights argument in favor of

1:24:31.760 --> 1:24:34.639
<v Speaker 1>what Alabama's done on the abortion law. Oh, the state

1:24:34.680 --> 1:24:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of California has made a decision we're going to be

1:24:36.960 --> 1:24:40.200
<v Speaker 1>a sanctuary state. The state of Alabama's made a decision.

1:24:40.520 --> 1:24:43.960
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be a sanctuary state for the born. Right,

1:24:44.120 --> 1:24:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean that what we've basically got it? No, no, no, no, no, no, Brett,

1:24:48.080 --> 1:24:49.559
<v Speaker 1>you've got a dead wrong. Well what do you mean,

1:24:49.600 --> 1:24:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I've got a dead rong. You've got a dead wrong.

1:24:51.640 --> 1:24:57.800
<v Speaker 1>The sanctuary law in California is about social justice. The

1:24:58.439 --> 1:25:03.080
<v Speaker 1>sanctuary law for the born in Alabama is about well,

1:25:03.160 --> 1:25:06.400
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's about tyranny. It's about tyranny. I got it.

1:25:06.479 --> 1:25:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I understand. That's very interesting. I didn't know that that's

1:25:09.280 --> 1:25:11.479
<v Speaker 1>how it worked out, but yes, that's how it worked out.

1:25:11.880 --> 1:25:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Understand this, if you understand nothing else here in the

1:25:14.080 --> 1:25:16.679
<v Speaker 1>state of California, if you are in the illicit possession

1:25:16.840 --> 1:25:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of plastic bags, single use plastic bags, or if you

1:25:20.040 --> 1:25:24.320
<v Speaker 1>are in the illicit possession of straws, you'll face more

1:25:24.439 --> 1:25:26.840
<v Speaker 1>serious time than you will if you break into the state.

1:25:27.080 --> 1:25:29.240
<v Speaker 1>And isn't it curious that we would have this crisis

1:25:29.439 --> 1:25:33.880
<v Speaker 1>right now, right now before the twenty twenty election, right

1:25:34.000 --> 1:25:39.599
<v Speaker 1>now before the twenty twenty senses? What are you getting at, Brett?

1:25:40.120 --> 1:25:41.439
<v Speaker 1>What are you what are you getting at with the

1:25:41.720 --> 1:25:43.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty what kind of a remark is at about

1:25:43.640 --> 1:25:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty cents. Well, because, to hear Gavin Newsom

1:25:47.280 --> 1:25:50.120
<v Speaker 1>tell it, here, in the state of California, it doesn't

1:25:50.160 --> 1:25:55.639
<v Speaker 1>matter if you're a citizen, a Green card holder, a migrant,

1:25:56.000 --> 1:26:00.120
<v Speaker 1>and AUSSI lee, somebody who has flown in for six

1:26:00.200 --> 1:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>months to stay at a VRBO. You can count in

1:26:03.320 --> 1:26:06.519
<v Speaker 1>the census because you'll help us get seats. See. The

1:26:06.600 --> 1:26:10.400
<v Speaker 1>dirty secret about California is there's been a massive outmigration

1:26:10.479 --> 1:26:16.640
<v Speaker 1>for the last fifteen years. People fleeing high taxes, horrible regulation,

1:26:17.160 --> 1:26:22.400
<v Speaker 1>social social problems like heroin addiction, and people urinating and

1:26:22.479 --> 1:26:24.559
<v Speaker 1>defecating in the streets of San Francisco and in Los

1:26:24.600 --> 1:26:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Angeles and even right here in San Diego. This has

1:26:27.360 --> 1:26:31.680
<v Speaker 1>been a crisis writ large. But when Gavin Nussom is

1:26:31.680 --> 1:26:35.160
<v Speaker 1>concerned is we don't need to replace the outflow of

1:26:35.280 --> 1:26:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Americans moving out of the state. We just need to

1:26:38.280 --> 1:26:41.800
<v Speaker 1>replace them with any body. No, no, we don't have

1:26:41.840 --> 1:26:45.040
<v Speaker 1>to get anybody to come in. We just need anybody,

1:26:45.520 --> 1:26:49.719
<v Speaker 1>meaning anybody will do whether or not you're a citizen,

1:26:49.800 --> 1:26:53.759
<v Speaker 1>a Green card holder, whether or not you're a migrant

1:26:53.920 --> 1:26:58.520
<v Speaker 1>seeking economic opportunity and illegal immigrant, or even an asili

1:26:58.840 --> 1:27:00.920
<v Speaker 1>come on into the state account California. The doors are

1:27:01.000 --> 1:27:03.240
<v Speaker 1>wide open because you're going to get the hook up.

1:27:03.280 --> 1:27:05.799
<v Speaker 1>And now now you're starting to see the Resettlement Department

1:27:05.840 --> 1:27:10.479
<v Speaker 1>of Homeland Security flying migrants from Texas at a cost

1:27:10.560 --> 1:27:13.680
<v Speaker 1>of six thousand dollars of flight right here to the

1:27:13.720 --> 1:27:16.080
<v Speaker 1>city of San Diego, right to the city of San Diego,

1:27:16.640 --> 1:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>where they will be dumped off on a street corner

1:27:19.560 --> 1:27:21.519
<v Speaker 1>and people will just kind of hope for the best.

1:27:22.080 --> 1:27:25.120
<v Speaker 1>That's really what's going on here. It's an amazing thing

1:27:25.200 --> 1:27:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to see, and folks want to focus on them, focus

1:27:29.400 --> 1:27:32.759
<v Speaker 1>on whether or not there's a humanitarian crisis. Ladies and gentlemen.

1:27:33.040 --> 1:27:37.479
<v Speaker 1>There's a humanitarian crisis. It's just what needs to be

1:27:37.600 --> 1:27:43.040
<v Speaker 1>done about it is the great disagreement, and really there's

1:27:43.040 --> 1:27:44.840
<v Speaker 1>a right way and there's a wrong way. And what

1:27:44.960 --> 1:27:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing take place with the cooperation of the Democrats

1:27:50.000 --> 1:27:53.000
<v Speaker 1>out there, the fact that Nancy Pelosian Chuck Schumer looked

1:27:53.000 --> 1:27:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the other way, and every other Democrat with him does.

1:27:55.280 --> 1:27:59.840
<v Speaker 1>You're seeing a crisis, a humanitarian crisis, and ultimately we're

1:28:00.160 --> 1:28:02.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna pay for it. Eight four four nine hundred buck

1:28:02.760 --> 1:28:05.360

<v Speaker 1>day here in the greatest country on the planet. It

<v Speaker 1>is the Buck Sexton Show. The phone number to be

1:28:18.800 --> 1:28:21.599
<v Speaker 1>part of the conversation eight four four nine hundred Buck

1:28:21.720 --> 1:28:24.920
<v Speaker 1>eight four four nine hundred two eight two five. Over

1:28:24.960 --> 1:28:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the course of the last couple hours, you know, we've

1:28:26.720 --> 1:28:29.919
<v Speaker 1>gone into a lot of very different and interesting areas.

1:28:30.040 --> 1:28:32.320
<v Speaker 1>And let me if I may take you into some

1:28:32.400 --> 1:28:36.000
<v Speaker 1>of the madness that is the West Coast, the madness

1:28:36.120 --> 1:28:38.360
<v Speaker 1>that is the West Coast. The lunacy is the West Coast.

1:28:38.720 --> 1:28:41.599
<v Speaker 1>I alluded to this in the prior segment. This idea

1:28:42.240 --> 1:28:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that in our country today, the idea that in our

1:28:45.160 --> 1:28:48.879
<v Speaker 1>country today you can you can face in your felony

1:28:49.000 --> 1:28:53.200
<v Speaker 1>charge for illicit possession of plastic bags, single use plastic

1:28:53.240 --> 1:28:56.400
<v Speaker 1>bags and of course straws as well. It is a

1:28:56.479 --> 1:29:01.320
<v Speaker 1>complete and total nightmare. And uh Sabria Outtery riding over

1:29:01.400 --> 1:29:04.439
<v Speaker 1>in the Wall Street Journal has this very interesting piece

1:29:04.560 --> 1:29:08.040
<v Speaker 1>in plastic bag Wars. The industry fights back. Now, let

1:29:08.080 --> 1:29:09.599
<v Speaker 1>me let me give you the basis for this, because

1:29:09.720 --> 1:29:14.080
<v Speaker 1>whatever happens here will eventually drift eastward towards where you are,

1:29:14.280 --> 1:29:17.800
<v Speaker 1>or northward or well southward would be Mexico. But from

1:29:17.840 --> 1:29:20.640
<v Speaker 1>here in California, this stuff, this stuff drifts, and I

1:29:20.640 --> 1:29:23.760
<v Speaker 1>don't mean the pollution. I mean the bad policy that

1:29:23.880 --> 1:29:27.960
<v Speaker 1>gets created and crafted. So you have trade groups now

1:29:28.040 --> 1:29:32.320
<v Speaker 1>coming out and having to defend their straws, defend their straws.

1:29:33.080 --> 1:29:37.160
<v Speaker 1>This is amazing. The backlash against single use plastic has

1:29:37.320 --> 1:29:41.040
<v Speaker 1>both straws, bags and takeout containers. But the plastics industry

1:29:41.120 --> 1:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>is fighting back, arguing that alternatives can be worse for

1:29:43.840 --> 1:29:47.439
<v Speaker 1>the environment and disruptive for business. Trade groups are spending

1:29:47.520 --> 1:29:50.639
<v Speaker 1>more on lobbying, read out to consumers and promote cycling

1:29:50.840 --> 1:29:55.960
<v Speaker 1>amid mounting their message plastic bands target only waste and

1:29:56.120 --> 1:29:59.360
<v Speaker 1>don't take account of environmental negatives. If you use raw

1:29:59.439 --> 1:30:04.040
<v Speaker 1>materials meaning paper bags, remember paper bags. Back in the day,

1:30:04.400 --> 1:30:07.439
<v Speaker 1>you'd get your stuff. Your choice was paper or plastic. Well,

1:30:07.520 --> 1:30:11.519
<v Speaker 1>that forever was the big question. And then we switched

1:30:11.640 --> 1:30:15.240
<v Speaker 1>from the paper to the plastic. Why because we were

1:30:15.360 --> 1:30:20.519
<v Speaker 1>deforesting the trees. Oh, the trees were dying. It was terrible.

1:30:20.600 --> 1:30:22.160
<v Speaker 1>The world was coming to an end. So we switched

1:30:22.200 --> 1:30:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the plastic, flimsy, single use plastic bags and we all

1:30:26.120 --> 1:30:29.600
<v Speaker 1>got used to those. And then and then, like a

1:30:29.800 --> 1:30:33.280
<v Speaker 1>bolt from the dark, we found out about the great

1:30:33.720 --> 1:30:37.400
<v Speaker 1>garbage patch out in the Pacific, the Geyer out in

1:30:37.439 --> 1:30:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the Pacific twice, the size of Texas uncleanable, all caused

1:30:42.080 --> 1:30:45.639
<v Speaker 1>by the American people and our plastic bags and our straws.

1:30:46.080 --> 1:30:48.640
<v Speaker 1>So here in San Diego, I'm not lying when I

1:30:48.680 --> 1:30:51.320
<v Speaker 1>tell you this, you have had communities get together an

1:30:51.360 --> 1:30:56.200
<v Speaker 1>outlaw the following single use plastic bags. They have outlawed straws.

1:30:56.680 --> 1:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>They have outlawed polystyrene takeout food containers. That's right, the

1:31:01.800 --> 1:31:03.880
<v Speaker 1>styrophone containers where you get to take out from the

1:31:03.960 --> 1:31:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Chinese plays or the lunch place where you got a

1:31:06.360 --> 1:31:09.720
<v Speaker 1>sandwich and some chips. Yeah, that's been outlawed as well.

1:31:09.800 --> 1:31:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Why because it kills the animals. There's no such regulation

1:31:14.240 --> 1:31:17.840
<v Speaker 1>on Mexico. There's no such regulation anywhere else. We're the

1:31:17.920 --> 1:31:20.400
<v Speaker 1>only people doing it. I tell a funny anecdote about

1:31:20.400 --> 1:31:22.360
<v Speaker 1>a friend of mine who is at a bar in

1:31:22.479 --> 1:31:24.679
<v Speaker 1>San Diego having a couple of cocktails with some friends.

1:31:25.840 --> 1:31:28.640
<v Speaker 1>The waitress, and I hope that's not that's not an

1:31:28.640 --> 1:31:31.840
<v Speaker 1>offensive term. But the waitress came over. The server came over,

1:31:32.280 --> 1:31:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and he said, could I have a straw? And she

1:31:36.040 --> 1:31:39.479
<v Speaker 1>took her finger and stirred his drink with her index finger,

1:31:40.120 --> 1:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and when he recoiled in horror, she said to him,

1:31:42.920 --> 1:31:47.000
<v Speaker 1>don't worry, it's alcohol. There's no germs in there. Now.

1:31:47.439 --> 1:31:49.600
<v Speaker 1>That's the kind of craziness that we have going on

1:31:49.680 --> 1:31:53.560
<v Speaker 1>out here in California. And so the plastics industry and

1:31:53.720 --> 1:31:55.920
<v Speaker 1>all these other groups are getting together and they're trying

1:31:55.920 --> 1:31:58.439
<v Speaker 1>to tell you that they're not the biggest problem. They're

1:31:58.520 --> 1:32:01.640
<v Speaker 1>not the biggest threat to the world. Do you know

1:32:01.720 --> 1:32:03.719
<v Speaker 1>what the number one threat to the world is? Anybody

1:32:03.800 --> 1:32:06.640
<v Speaker 1>know what The number one polluting item in all the

1:32:06.800 --> 1:32:12.080
<v Speaker 1>world is? Cigarette butts. Cigarette butts are number one, followed

1:32:12.080 --> 1:32:16.719
<v Speaker 1>by food wrappers, plastic beverage bottles, and plastic bottle camp caps.

1:32:17.120 --> 1:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>You got to go way down the list to you

1:32:18.600 --> 1:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>have to grocery bags or other plastic bags, or straws

1:32:22.600 --> 1:32:25.680
<v Speaker 1>or takeout containers. You gotta go way down the list

1:32:25.720 --> 1:32:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to get to those numbers. And look, I get it.

1:32:28.360 --> 1:32:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Nobody wants to see some seagull coughing up a plastic bag,

1:32:32.600 --> 1:32:35.799
<v Speaker 1>or a sperm whale suffering because he's ingesting so much plastic.

1:32:36.240 --> 1:32:38.600
<v Speaker 1>But understand this if you understand nothing else, We in

1:32:38.680 --> 1:32:42.719
<v Speaker 1>the United States are a clean country. We don't pollute

1:32:42.880 --> 1:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>nearly as badly as the countries in Asia. We don't

1:32:46.000 --> 1:32:50.280
<v Speaker 1>pollute nearly as badly as those nations in South America

1:32:50.560 --> 1:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>that have much much more lax and loose environmental regulations.

1:32:55.920 --> 1:32:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Think about this for a second. I want you to

1:32:58.040 --> 1:33:03.560
<v Speaker 1>think about the notion of currents and energy and that

1:33:03.680 --> 1:33:07.000
<v Speaker 1>sort of stuff that happens in what direction? In what

1:33:07.200 --> 1:33:12.560
<v Speaker 1>direction do storms approach the United States? If you're on

1:33:12.680 --> 1:33:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the West coast, Do they come from Texas? Do they

1:33:17.080 --> 1:33:20.200
<v Speaker 1>come from Alabama? No, they come from the Pacific, because

1:33:20.240 --> 1:33:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the Pacific flow is toward the coast of the United States,

1:33:24.760 --> 1:33:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the Pacific coast of the United States. That's where the

1:33:27.360 --> 1:33:29.840
<v Speaker 1>flow comes. So where do you think all the pollutions

1:33:29.920 --> 1:33:32.560
<v Speaker 1>coming from? Where do you think the plastic and the

1:33:32.600 --> 1:33:36.920
<v Speaker 1>containers are coming from? Oh, that's right, you guessed right,

1:33:37.200 --> 1:33:40.559
<v Speaker 1>it's Asia. We're not the biggest polluters. In fact, it's

1:33:40.640 --> 1:33:43.479
<v Speaker 1>China that's a bigger polluter. In fact, it's other nations

1:33:43.720 --> 1:33:46.559
<v Speaker 1>in Southeast Asia that are bigger polluters than we are.

1:33:47.040 --> 1:33:50.000
<v Speaker 1>And we haven't even gotten anywhere near the cigarette butts yet.

1:33:50.320 --> 1:33:53.879
<v Speaker 1>We haven't gotten anywhere near those cartridges yet. That's the problem.

1:33:53.960 --> 1:33:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh and while we're at it. While we're at it,

1:33:57.840 --> 1:34:00.240
<v Speaker 1>being that, I'm in the state of California, and many

1:34:00.320 --> 1:34:03.760
<v Speaker 1>people in this state or in a state of unconsciousness, Um,

1:34:04.880 --> 1:34:08.960
<v Speaker 1>tell me about how those those heroin syringes, those those needles,

1:34:09.000 --> 1:34:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and those syringes, tell me about how it is that

1:34:11.200 --> 1:34:15.160
<v Speaker 1>they they they decompose when you put them in a land. No. See,

1:34:15.280 --> 1:34:17.160
<v Speaker 1>last time I check, those are made out of plastic two,

1:34:17.200 --> 1:34:20.000
<v Speaker 1>aren't they? And they are. They are ankle deep on

1:34:20.040 --> 1:34:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the streets of San Francisco, and on the streets of

1:34:22.400 --> 1:34:24.720
<v Speaker 1>skid Row in Los Angeles, and have been on the

1:34:24.800 --> 1:34:27.040
<v Speaker 1>streets of the city of San Diego where I'm sitting.

1:34:27.360 --> 1:34:30.120
<v Speaker 1>They have absolutely been that. And tell me how healthy

1:34:30.160 --> 1:34:32.919
<v Speaker 1>it is for the environment for people to use sidewalks

1:34:32.960 --> 1:34:35.000
<v Speaker 1>as toilets. I just for the life of me. I mean,

1:34:35.000 --> 1:34:36.599
<v Speaker 1>I get that we're gonna get rid of plastic bags,

1:34:37.200 --> 1:34:38.719
<v Speaker 1>and I get that we're gonna get rid of straws,

1:34:39.360 --> 1:34:42.920
<v Speaker 1>But we're ignored. They're an oh barber way, by the way,

1:34:45.160 --> 1:34:47.280
<v Speaker 1>find you of this fact. When we got rid of

1:34:47.400 --> 1:34:51.639
<v Speaker 1>the single use plastic bags, those thinner one ply plastic

1:34:51.680 --> 1:34:54.120
<v Speaker 1>bags that sometimes if you just put in too many

1:34:54.240 --> 1:34:56.679
<v Speaker 1>six packs of soda and then a box of cereal,

1:34:56.720 --> 1:34:58.759
<v Speaker 1>it would tear the bag open because they were so flimsy.

1:34:59.280 --> 1:35:01.080
<v Speaker 1>When we got rid of of those, we replaced him

1:35:01.120 --> 1:35:04.639
<v Speaker 1>with like nine ply plastic, reusable plastic that you get

1:35:04.640 --> 1:35:07.519
<v Speaker 1>it to supermarket for ten cents a bag. Those things

1:35:07.800 --> 1:35:13.200
<v Speaker 1>will survive an atomic detonation. They will not decompose in

1:35:13.320 --> 1:35:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the face of a thermonuclear warhead going off above them.

1:35:17.439 --> 1:35:21.720
<v Speaker 1>They will survive literally anything including being shot into the sun.

1:35:22.120 --> 1:35:24.360
<v Speaker 1>They will not melt, they will not decompose. So what

1:35:24.560 --> 1:35:27.840
<v Speaker 1>we did was we traded the paper bags, which were fine,

1:35:28.080 --> 1:35:31.040
<v Speaker 1>for the single use plastic bags, which we're fine, and

1:35:31.160 --> 1:35:32.840
<v Speaker 1>now we got rid of those two things in the

1:35:32.920 --> 1:35:37.519
<v Speaker 1>hopes that will use even thicker bags. It's absurd. This

1:35:37.720 --> 1:35:41.920
<v Speaker 1>is why regulation, This is why regulation is a nightmare.

1:35:42.240 --> 1:35:47.639
<v Speaker 1>When you do not properly implemented. The issue is polluting,

1:35:47.960 --> 1:35:51.679
<v Speaker 1>the issue is littering, The issue is discarding your garbage

1:35:51.680 --> 1:35:53.640
<v Speaker 1>out in public. Maybe if you wrote a ticket for

1:35:53.720 --> 1:35:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the quality of life crimes for the idiot that throws

1:35:56.240 --> 1:35:58.240
<v Speaker 1>garbage all over the beach, that throws garbage all over

1:35:58.280 --> 1:35:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the streets, maybe you hit him with a ticket for

1:36:00.080 --> 1:36:03.080
<v Speaker 1>five hundred dollars, maybe you'll start to change the behavior instead.

1:36:03.360 --> 1:36:07.560
<v Speaker 1>It's lowest common denominator behavior in America today. Folks. You

1:36:07.680 --> 1:36:10.479
<v Speaker 1>put up with it. Why because they know you'll put

1:36:10.560 --> 1:36:12.679
<v Speaker 1>up with it. When you go to the drug store

1:36:12.680 --> 1:36:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and you have to show ID and ask permission to

1:36:14.960 --> 1:36:17.560
<v Speaker 1>buy a box a sudaffeed, why because a bunch of

1:36:18.120 --> 1:36:20.960
<v Speaker 1>folks running meth labs decided they weren't going to use

1:36:21.040 --> 1:36:24.400
<v Speaker 1>it for the intended purpose, and they want to make

1:36:24.520 --> 1:36:28.600
<v Speaker 1>methamphetamines at a sudafed. When you go to to the

1:36:28.680 --> 1:36:30.479
<v Speaker 1>big box store and you want to get yourself a

1:36:30.520 --> 1:36:32.360
<v Speaker 1>can of spray paint because you got to touch up

1:36:32.400 --> 1:36:35.519
<v Speaker 1>the patio furniture for the summer season, you got to

1:36:35.560 --> 1:36:37.519
<v Speaker 1>go find the pimpley phase sixteen year old kid with

1:36:37.560 --> 1:36:40.479
<v Speaker 1>the key to give you permission, as a full grown adult,

1:36:40.520 --> 1:36:43.960
<v Speaker 1>tax paying person, permission to get a can of spray paint,

1:36:44.080 --> 1:36:47.280
<v Speaker 1>because you might go home and huff that right, that's

1:36:47.360 --> 1:36:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that's what you hear all the time. Or if you

1:36:49.160 --> 1:36:51.720
<v Speaker 1>want a sharpie pen or a box cutter, you got

1:36:51.840 --> 1:36:54.040
<v Speaker 1>to fill out a piece of paper with a seven

1:36:54.120 --> 1:36:56.560
<v Speaker 1>day waiting period before you can get those, because you

1:36:56.920 --> 1:36:58.840
<v Speaker 1>might go and tag. I don't know about you. I'm

1:36:58.880 --> 1:37:01.040
<v Speaker 1>guessing many people in this audience that listen to Buck

1:37:01.040 --> 1:37:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Sexton are not out tagging on the weekend. They're not

1:37:03.720 --> 1:37:06.519
<v Speaker 1>out doing scratchety. They're not out huffing paint, and they're

1:37:06.560 --> 1:37:10.160
<v Speaker 1>not out cooking methamphetamines in their backyards. We're living like

1:37:10.680 --> 1:37:15.840
<v Speaker 1>hostages to the dopes, and that's a frustrating reality in

1:37:15.960 --> 1:37:20.000
<v Speaker 1>America in twenty nineteen. So next time you get your

1:37:20.000 --> 1:37:22.200
<v Speaker 1>self a single use plastic bag and you don't know

1:37:22.240 --> 1:37:23.760
<v Speaker 1>what to do with it, you may want to mail

1:37:23.800 --> 1:37:27.080
<v Speaker 1>it to a deserving family. Right here in California. We

1:37:27.200 --> 1:37:30.240
<v Speaker 1>can't get our hands on them anymore on account of pollution.

1:37:30.840 --> 1:37:33.719
<v Speaker 1>We can't get our hands on them anymore because of laws,

1:37:34.640 --> 1:37:38.680
<v Speaker 1>laws written by well meaning bureaucrats that only seek to

1:37:38.960 --> 1:37:41.720
<v Speaker 1>add to the drama and the trauma. I don't know

1:37:41.760 --> 1:37:45.720
<v Speaker 1>about you, but I'm done living by the lowest common denominator.

1:37:46.040 --> 1:37:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I am done comporting my life around what it is

1:37:50.080 --> 1:37:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that some unelected bureaucrat or elected want to be control

1:37:55.080 --> 1:37:58.559
<v Speaker 1>freak in Sacramento or Washington, DC wants to tell us

1:37:58.640 --> 1:38:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to do. I want to be free. I'm not into

1:38:02.400 --> 1:38:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the socialism. I choose freedom, and I believe most people

1:38:06.400 --> 1:38:08.800
<v Speaker 1>in this country, if you get them in a quiet place,

1:38:09.080 --> 1:38:11.680
<v Speaker 1>will feel just as frustrated as we do about the

1:38:11.800 --> 1:38:15.400
<v Speaker 1>limits on our liberties when it comes to consuming what

1:38:15.600 --> 1:38:18.040
<v Speaker 1>it is we want, using what it is that we want,

1:38:18.320 --> 1:38:22.320
<v Speaker 1>and managing our lives. In my entire life, I've never

1:38:22.479 --> 1:38:25.560
<v Speaker 1>once thrown a plastic bag filled with a bunch of

1:38:25.600 --> 1:38:29.240
<v Speaker 1>takeout containers into the ocean. Why because I think it's

1:38:29.360 --> 1:38:32.840
<v Speaker 1>rude and I want to preserve my planet for future generations.

1:38:33.479 --> 1:38:36.760
